ijawkid: Crazeman sef dey go church??lmao

cyrexx: i believe the punchline is that religion has way of shifting goal post to make it appear valid even when it has been soundly invalidated and proven wrong.

its funny, especially to the non-religious.

cyrexx: I have had some discussions/debates with some christians and they are of the opinion that atheists and muslims do not have a correct understanding of what christianity stands for. Maybe what atheists know of christianity is not what true christianity is. So i need some mature christians to provide serious answers to these following questions, as i am a serious seeker here. But i wont let go of my REASON AND LOGIC, so i may question what doesn't make sense to me instead of accepting it hookline and sinker.

Here are the questions
1. What makes a person a chritian. Is it not repentance and giving one's life to Christ or any other thing has to be done to become a true christian ?

cyrexx: 2. Does God answer prayers when we call upon him.

cyrexx: 3. What sin can a christian commit that make him become a sinner again and lose his salvation.

cyrexx: 4. I love the character of Jesus. I'm presently reading the words of Jesus in Gospels. But can someone explain to me if this same Jesus is the one that will watch non-christians burn alive in hell. The Jesus i know about is a good man (or a deity) as contrasted to the tyrannical monster that allows people to burn in hell fire even though he had the power to prevent and even stop this. This is what i detest most about christianity. Maybe i'm wrong maybe i'm not.

cyrexx: 5. Can you share how you discover for yourself that God is real and how others can find out for themselves that God is a real person and not just a caricature and mind conceptualisations of religions.

cyrexx: 6. What makes the christian God a true one and what makes Islamic and African religion's God a false one?


Thanks in advance to true christians in the house.

Those of you who go to your pastor to pray for you and tell you who to marry, if care is not taken, you will become a victim of lies. You are simply lazy. No pastor or prophet should tell you who to marry. They are to pray along with you, counsel and guide you using the Word of God. If you fail to pay the price to hear from God on that matter, you may be deceived. God can use your pastor or a genuine prophet of God to confirm what He had already told you. Many homes have been established on falsehood and that is why things are falling apart and the center can no longer hold. Some pastors are seriously into match-making. They have taken over from the Holy Spirit. Match-making remains God's prerogative and He has not delegated it to any pastor.

donkarly: ofcourse they did.gen 41:42 says that pharoah took off his ring n gold chain n put them on joseph's hand n about his neck.in exodus 12:35,the children of isreal borrowed jewels of silver n gold from the egyptians because God didnt want them to leave empty handed.in numbers 31:50,the people of God offered unto Him bracelets,rings,earings etc.job was given earrings of gold by his sisters n brethren.belshazzar commanded n a chain of gold was put about daniel's neck.by my little understanding of the bible i believe its wrong to say one will not make heaven because she uses those..

truthislight: its actually enough to get one angry.

But lets states the facts.

But why wont the koran God not make the koran available for all mankind if he is the creator of all (we)men and they are all his children?

Is it a cover up? The refusal to translate?

Who knows how many other unfactual info are contain in there?

Acidosis: Are you a church worker? What do you find yourself doing in the house of God? please share with us. . .

Siena: I don't joke when it comes to my kids. If my mother-in-law mutilated my children with tribal marks, I will brand both her cheeks and forehead with a red-hot iron. If my wife makes any attempt to defend her mom, she'll have to pack her stuff up, and leave.

No one messes with my kids, it's that simple.

frosbel: This is taking the insults a step too far.

He was not a rapist , everything was by mutual consent with both families consulted and in agreement.

frosbel: Hell is the Lake of Fire, the rest is either Hades ( New Testament ) or Sheol ( Old testament ) , no one is cast into any hell when they die today , they simply die and await the resurrection either to eternal life or damnation.

Coming back to your point about Hell.

Jesus Christ did not die to save us from eternal torment, he died to save us from :

1. Sin
2. Death

The wages of SIN is death not eternal torment.

The second death means exactly that , second death or an eternal death or an eternal punishment which is irreversible.

In the verse below , it is clear that the soul and body will be destroyed in the lake of fire on the last day , but only after the great white throne judgement not before.

"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." - Matthew 10:28

The words use to describe the fate of the wicked are almost always :

1. Death
2. Destruction
3. Perish

The words are self explanatory , though some traditionalists among us try to re-define their simplicity.

The Catholics had a lot of involvement in the redefining of Hell into eternal torment to use fear as a tool to retain their members.

frosbel: I am not a Jehovah witness.

Can you point to me one verse in the bible that mentions the wages of SIN as eternal torment.

This could turn out to be an interesting discussion.

Genesis 35:1-4 "And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem." (Genesis 35:1-4).
