truthislight: When a statement like this is Made dont you think there should be scriptural backing to supper it?


can you show/cite a portion that say that the dead will be in a holding place while they awaited judgement?

You cant and should not teach what the bible did not say, and as such i desire that you quote the bible to give it a backing, other wise it cant be said that it is a bible based teaching.

Please, cite where the bible says that the dead will wait a live for judgement day in a "holding tank" or whatever.

I gave a passage luke 16:24...it proved that the dead was actually kept in a hilding place pending the final punishment.

preshuzpearl: I don't love him, at least not now. But he claims God spoke to him specifically about me and his testimony is quite convincing. pls should i go ahead with it or just leave it alone, i dont really feel anythin for him.wats ur advice. Matured christian views highly apreciated

God is not a confusionist...if the man in question is your destined husband, then one way or the other, you two would be together.

In the mean time I would suggest that you review the qualities you're looking for in your dream guy. If he meets them all, has the fear of God, and you feel that you're compatible, then you need no more confirmation...but if the reverse is the case, the let go and forge ahead.

Nice of you to start this christian discussion Mr Anony...I can't believe I almost missed it.

I would go with KJV...

And below is my knowledge of God.

His Holiness : God’s holiness is manifested at the Cross. Wondrously and yet most solemnly does the Atonement display God’s infinite holiness and abhorrence of sin. How hateful must sin be to God for Him to punish it to its utmost deserts when it was imputed to His Son!

Not all the vials of judgment that have or shall be poured out upon the wicked world, nor the flaming furnace of a sinner’s conscience, nor the irreversible sentence pronounced against the rebellious demons, nor the groans of the damned creatures, give such a demonstration of God’s hatred of sin, as the wrath of God let loose upon His Son.

Never did Divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely than at the time our Saviour’s countenance was most marred in the midst of His dying groans. This Himself acknowledges.

Because God is holy He hates all sin. He loves everything which is in conformity to His laws, and loathes everything which is contrary to it. His Word plainly declares, "The froward is an abomination to the Lord" (Prov. 3:32).

And again, "The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord" (Prov. 15:26). It follows, therefore, that He must necessarily punish sin.

Sin can no more exist without demanding His punishment than without requiring His hatred of it. God has often forgiven sinners, but He never forgives sin; and the sinner is only forgiven on the ground of Another having borne his punishment; for "without shedding of blood is no remission" (Heb. 9:22). Therefore we are told, "The Lord will, take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth Wrath for His enemies" (Nahum 1:2).

For one sin God banished our first parents from Eden. For one sin all the posterity of Ham fell under a curse which remains over them to this day (Gen. 9:21).

For one sin Moses was excluded from Canaan, Elisha’s servant smitten with leprosy, Ananias and Sapphira cut off out of the land of the living.

His attitude to sin: God hates sin...I believe that God's attitued towards sin can be found in my first post.

[b]what manner of punishment awaits a sinner after physical death: [/b]well...Similar to the destiny of believers, unbelievers (sinners) also would to be sent immediately to a temporary holding place, to await their final resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny.

Luke 16:22-23 describes a rich man being tormented immediately after death.

Revelation 20:11-15 describes all the unbelieving dead being resurrected, judged at the great white throne, and then being cast into the lake of fire.

Unbelievers, then, are not sent to hell (the lake of fire) immediately after death, but rather are in a temporary realm of judgment and condemnation. However, even though unbelievers are not instantly sent to the lake of fire, their immediate fate after death is not a pleasant one.

The rich man cried out, “I am in agony in this fire” (Luke 16:24).

Therefore, after death, a person resides in a “temporary” heaven or hell. After this temporary realm, at the final resurrection, a person’s eternal destiny will not change.

The precise “location” of that eternal destiny is what changes. Believers will ultimately be granted entrance into the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1). Unbelievers will ultimately be sent to the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

These are the final, eternal destinations of all people—based entirely on whether or not they had trusted Jesus Christ alone for salvation (Matthew 25:46; John 3:36).

Thank you.

[quote author=Charmin']when i visited Awka the voltage was always low why is that or was just in the area i visited?[/quote]Some parts are half current, some are just pure darkness.

Its that bad...the PHCN officials in the south east have a lot of work to do.

Finally...What area in Awka did you visit?

First I would ask...what does it mean to be a born again Christian?

The passage from the Bible that answers this question is John 3:1-21. The Lord Jesus Christ is talking to Nicodemus, a prominent Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin (a ruler of the Jews). Nicodemus had come to Jesus at night. Nicodemus had questions to ask Jesus.

As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, “’I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

Also being born again means to be dead to sin (romans 6:11)

Now to your question...from the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, its impossible for a born again christian to miss the rapture. Why you may ask....because he's been born by the spirit.

And from the second passage (romans 6:11) Spiritually dead can simply defined as someone whose living without the Holy Spirit.

So therefore if the reverse is the case, the it would be impossible for you to miss heaven. (Because you would be alive in the spirit)

I shall therefore conclude thus...no born again christian that has confessed Jesus as his lord and saviour, and has the holy spirit as guidance can miss heaven.

I hope I answered your question.

Joagbaje: Then Philippians 4:19 tells us, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." That means there’s no lack in your life; for the Lord supplies all your needs. Psalm 1:3 describes you as a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth fruit in and out of season; and whatsoever you do shall prosper.

Pastor Chris

Nice write up...I enjoyed it.

quote of the day...Don't only be close too someone who makes you happy, but be close too somone who can't be happy without you

Good morning friends...

ebamma: Oh africa the greed of money and the lust for power is the reason for thy backwardness.

I pray that God would help this continent.

In Awka here, there's no difference between when he (Nnaji) was the power boss and when he resigned.

We're always in darkness...even when lagosians were celebrating 18hours of uninterrupted power supply, we remained mute on the whole matter because there was nothing to celebrate.

afam4eva: I've always wondered too. Can a repentance on a death bed lead some one to heaven?

Yes it can...its very possible.

Once you confess that Jesus is lord, you're automatically a new creation.

2 Chorinthians 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

It doesn't matter if your confession is made on your death bed, you would definitely make heaven...God's word is true and would remain ever true.

kay9: Yo, Crazyman! Ehm, why u too dey lie sef?

No be you teach me...

@op

I think its the other way round. Most atheist here can't argue logically without resorting to insults.

They ask question, and after giving them an honest reply, they begin to rain insults on you.

This place needs to be sanitized.

[quote author=pastor prosper ]Jesus told me that hell is populated by Christians, he said there are several days when of all persons who died none made it to heaven.should the rapture occur this Moment wld u make it?[/quote]This should be a challenge to you.

Therefore I would suggest that you go an evangelize...win souls for him.

To even think that the mobile police are present when such an act is being done...with no hope of stopping them is a shame to the nation.

Well, I think two students are about to drop-out of the university.
Goodluck!

Well said.

I just hope that I don't experience such an incident.

Tgirl4real: U said u are back! Where have you been by the way?

He was with me...I jailed him for misconduct.

But he's free now...you can have your revenge.
