For the record Babylon is in Iraq not Africa there is much proof for this

Ethiopians are Africans fact where do you get your facts from out of lucky bag?

The children of Israel are of the “White Man” Israelites are descendent of “Shem” of the line of “Abraham” and “Jacob” in the bible so I just can’t stop laughing at this senseless mind.

The last time I check the bible records in the “Table of Nation” in “Genius” chapter (9) and (10) “Ham” was the father of “Canaan” which is a “Black Man” and he was the father of Cush who had a son who built Babylon and his name was nimrod read it your self

(NIV) Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.

Did you notice the above passage and quote from the bible the words “change his skin” and the nation which is “Ethiopia” and the Ethnic grouping which is “Ethiopian” it is clear, “Ham” is a “Black Man” I am working on research at the moment on the “Nation’s History” I may release a little book when finished the research the little booklet maybe called “Origins of the Nations” get that when it comes out?

He is proof from the book of  (Psalm 105 it tell you Jacob meaning the house of Israel was in Egypt which is in the land of ham who is ham the father of Canaan who was the father of nimrod who built Babylon which is Iraq read these verses where is Egypt it is in Africa to this day?

King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 105

1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

4Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

38Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

40The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

43And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

44And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

45That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.




(NIV) John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

(KJV) John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(NIV) Jeremiah 7:28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.

(NIV) John 4:23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

(NIV) John 4:24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

Notice “we must worship him in spirit and in truth for the father seeks” meaning he wants us to worship him with his “Truth” and with his “Spirit” but if “Truth” has stumbled in the street like the prophet Isaiah said how can we claim to know him but what does the bible have to say?

(NIV) Isaiah 59:14 So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter.

(NIV) Isaiah 59:15 Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.

(NIV) Isaiah 59:16 He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to
intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him.

(NIV) Jeremiah 7:28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.

Yes he is very good
I gave him a copy of my book
I hope he likes it apart from the bad spelling
I am going to finish what I was working on last night about speaking in tongues

to debunk Joagbaje's teaching

Like both people but I only hear the word of God

But in terms of truth I would vote for “Goshen”

He does not defend evil like mas.tu.rba.tion
Which Joagbaje's does not think is a sin he defends evil and Pastor Chris even when he is wrong and that is wrong I can only defend a man when he is right but when he is wrong we must all tell someone and believe I would not want someone not to tell me of if I am wrong
That is why we must speak the truth in love

The word holy mean separate

Set aside

Sanctified

Pure

Righteous

goshen360 are you on the only place

Most pastor these days have their own professional jobs or business but there are still some who May not be able or allowed of God to work by the virtue of their responsibility. They have to devote full attention to the ministry . Such will require support  from the church. And it's according to scripture . Jesus himself Recieved financial support, likewise Paul and other apostles .

Luke 10:7
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

1 Timothy 5:17-18
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

Matthew 10

King James Version (KJV)


Matthew 10

1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

Daniel 12:10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Why Are They Really Keeping Birthdays


So the next question we should be ask ourselves, why is “Christian Groups” keeping “Birthdays” well you would be surprised to learn that there pagan in origin, and it was never been the custom of the kingdom of Israel or any of the New Testament churches to practice this so why are Christian who claim to love the word of God doing such practices but as human beings we do all love gifts there is nothing evil in giving and celebrating life’s beginnings,  but what is wrong is we are only command to keep the Passover and the holy days, which is set in stone and written in the heavens form the beginning of time and in the cycles of time, and days months in short?

So it’s high time we covered this and what does the bible teach on the first recorded birthday in bible history was pharaoh’s birthday in Ancient Egypt that is the first recorded in the bible?

But there is many records outside the bible of people who kept birthdays.

Birthdays: Pagan/Occult Origins in the Satanic Bible
Bible does not necessarily endorse anything outside or beyond the testimony against the pagan practice of birthday keeping in, or from, any of the information or sources quoted in this article.

There is an affinity of such commemoration among the wicked as recorded in The Satanic Bible (Anton Szandor LaVey, (Air) Book of Lucifer – The Enlightenment, Avon Books, 1969, Ch XI, "Religious Holidays," p. 96) regarding Birthdays:

Quote from the satanic bible: "The highest of all holidays in the Satanic religion is the date of one’s own birthday. This is in direct contradiction to the holy of holy days of other religions, which deify a particular god who has been created in an anthropomorphic form of their own image, thereby showing that the ego is not really buried. The Satanist feels: ‘Why not really be honest and if you are going to create a god in your image, why not create that god as yourself."

Every man is a god if he chooses to recognize himself as one. So, the Satanist celebrates his own birthday as the most important holiday of the year. After all, aren’t you happier about the fact that you were born than you are about the birth of someone you have never even met? Or for that matter, aside from religious holidays, why pay higher tribute to the birthday of a president or to a date in history than we do to the day we were brought into this greatest of all worlds? Despite the fact that some of us may not have been wanted, or at least were not particularly planned, we’re glad, even if no one else is, that we’re here! You should give yourself a pat on the back, buy yourself whatever you want, treat yourself like the king (or god) that you are, and generally celebrate your birthday with as much pomp and ceremony as possible."

It is interesting that birthdays are considered the most important holiday to these Satan worshipers (the founding of their “Church”, called Walpurgisnacht, and Halloween are the other ones of importance to them).

Of course, early Christians did not celebrate birthdays nor did the early Jews. Nor have real Christians ever celebrated Halloween.

Origen of Alexandria, writing over two centuries after the death of Messiah follows this same line when he recorded a diatribe against the memories of birthdays, indicating that at the time of his writing, a day to remember the birth of the Messiah was not part of the church calendar. In his Homilies on Leviticus, speaking on the aspect of birth, Origen states:

", not one from all the saints is found to have celebrated a festive day or a great feast on the day of his birth. No one is found to have had joy on the day of the birth of his son or daughter. Only sinners rejoice over this kind of birthday. For indeed we find in the Old Testament Pharaoh, king of Egypt, celebrating the day of his birth with a festival, and in the New Testament, Herod. However both of them stained the festival of his birth by shedding human blood, But the saints not only do not celebrate a festival on their birth days, but, filled with the Holy Spirit, they curse that day (after the example of Job, Jeremiah and David)." (Barkley, Homilies on Leviticus: 1–16 / Origen, 1990, 156.)
Birthdays Celebration are only Recorded in 3 Places in the Whole Bible

(N.I.V)
Genesis 40:20 Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:

Matthew 14:6 On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for them and pleased Herod so much

Mark 6:21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for
his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.

(K.J.V)
Genesis 40:20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

Matthew 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Mark 6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
What is the origin of birthday celebrations?
Birthday celebrations are actually rooted in paganism.

The Encyclopaedia Americana (1991 edition) states:
"The ancient world of Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Persia celebrated the birthdays of gods, kings, and nobles."
Authors Ralph and Adelin Linton reveal the underlying reason for this. In their book The Lore of Birthdays, they write:

"Mesopotamia and Egypt, the cradles of civilization, were also the first lands in which men remembered and honoured their birthdays. The keeping of birthday records was important in ancient times principally because a birth date was essential for the casting of a horoscope."

So, there is a direct connection between the Pagan practice of birthday celebrations and astrology (horoscopes and fortune telling).

Not surprisingly then, the ancient Jews did not celebrate birthdays, regarding them as Pagan.

Also, The World Book Encyclopaedia (volume 3, page 416) states:
"The early Christians did not celebrate His [the Messiah's] birth because they considered the celebration of anyone's birth to be a pagan custom."
Down to the fourth century Christianity rejected the birthday celebration as a pagan custom.

To satiate this point, notice also the record of the first century historian Josephus: The Jews in the Messiah’s day knew “Yahweh’s”  attitude toward birthday celebrations, “Nay, indeed, the law does not permit us to make festivals at the births of our children” (Flavius Josephus, Against Apion, Book II, section 26).
History of Celebration of Birthdays in the West
It is thought that the large-scale celebration of birthdays in Europe began with the cult of Mithras, which originated in Persia but was spread by soldiers throughout the Roman Empire. Before this, such celebrations were not common; and, hence, practices from other contexts such as the Saturnalia were adapted for birthdays. Because many Roman soldiers took to Mithraism, it had a wide distribution and influence throughout the empire,  (Wikipedia. Birthdays. July 12, 2007 version).
Christmas is also relevant because December 25th was the day of celebration of the birthday of the sun-god Mithra.

The World Book Encyclopaedia Notes,

"Christmas, In 354 A.D., Bishop Liberius of Rome ordered the people to celebrate on December 25. He probably chose this date because the people of Rome already observed it as the Feast of Saturn, celebrating the birthday of the sun" (Sechrist. Christmas. World Book Encyclopaedia, Volume 3. 1966, pp. 408-417).
Long ago, the average person never paid any attention whatsoever to the anniversary of their birth. The initial pattern that developed concerned the celebrating of the birthday of their deity, once each year, at the winter solstice. This is the origin of Christmas, since the winter solstice was considered the "Re-birth" or "Birthday" of the solar deity (Natalis Sol Invictus, or the Nativity of Sol, the unconquerable). This alone marks the behaviour as originating from the rebellion against “Yahweh”, Who is the one and only Elohim of Heaven and Earth. Remember that “Yahweh” commanded that we not learn the ways of the heathen (Duat. 12).

Later, people began to celebrate the annual birth of their king at the same time as their deity, aligning their ruler with the same honors given to their deity. In their minds, their ruler became an anthropomorphic version of their deity. In the east, average people slowly began to celebrate their personal "birth day" once each year on what they believed to be "new year's day." Eventually, people developed the custom of observing their personal birth day on the annual day they were actually born.

Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts; Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia, asserts (in Lev. Hom. viii in Migne, P.G., XII, 495) that in the Scriptures sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthday; Arnobius (VII, 32 in P.L., V, 1264) can still ridicule the "birthdays" of the gods.

In their essay titled Birthdays, Jewishly, Lisa Farber Miller and Sandra Widener point out that the Encyclopaedia Judaica is very blunt on this topic:
"The Celebration of Birthdays is Unknown in Traditional Jewish Ritual."

Originally, even as more and more Gentiles began to profess the Messiah (so much so that they outnumbered those of Jewish heritage that did), the early Gentile leaders also did not endorse the celebration of birthdays. No early church writer endorsed the observance of birthdays by Christians, nor are they ever listed in the early observances of the Christian church.

Therefore, the celebration of birthdays, was clearly not part of "the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3).
No early religious/church writing from the second century that I have seen (and I have read most that are available) seems to endorse (or even suggest) the celebration of birthdays by any who professed the Messiah.

Although he was not part of the Ecclesia of “Yahweh” God, the writings of the early third century Catholic theologian Origen of Alexandria show that even that late, Orthodox Catholics were against the celebration of birthdays. The Catholic Encyclopaedia states:
"Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia, asserts (in Lev. Hom. viii in Migne, P.G., XII, 495) that in the Scriptures sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthday" (Martindale C. Christmas, 1908).

Christmas is coming! Quite so: but what is "Christmas?" Does not the very term itself denote it's source -- "Christ-mass." Thus it is of Roman origin, brought over from paganism. But, says someone, Christmas is the time when we commemorate the Savior's birth. It is? And WHO authorized such commemoration? Certainly “Yahweh” God did not.

The Messiah bade his disciples "remember" him in his death, but there is not a word in scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, which tells us to celebrate his birth. Moreover, who knows the exact time when, he was born but the calendar around the time of the month of “Nissan in the Hebrew Calendar” or better known as the Sacred Calendar is in what month, he was born? (Which is the feast of “Tabernacle” known as “Sukkot” well this was October or September when this month falls) Then after the “eight” days he would have been “circumcised” completing the festival of “Sukkot”) The Bible is silent thereon. It is without reason that the only "Birthday" commemorations mentioned in “Yahweh’s” Word are Pharaoh's (Genesis 40:20) and Herod's (Matthew 14:6)? Is this recorded "for our learning?" If so, have we prayerfully taken it to heart?

Well we will conclude it is wrong and an unbiblical practice. It may be a social norm in this world but, so are many other evils being practiced and being done?

well who is getting confused now did you know these people you call Christians where not Christians in fact they were pagans they never followed the teaching of Christ they were following a pagan roman version of Christianity in the book or revelation the church it was talking about the catholic church the LovePeddler of Babylon the mystery religion roman as killed more Christians and Jews and Muslims that any in history they start slavery in west Africa but in all truth there was Arab slave traders there for century before any cape crusaders’ turned up little joke there?   

Remember the New Testament it is forbidden but it does give conditions if you are a slave and talks about us becoming slave to Christ which really means a slave to righteous living which in a way Islam teaches and for the record Islam practice slavery there is some good points they must wear the same clothing as the slave owner and eat the same food, but in the what most Christians call the old testament, does teach slavery but it was to pay of a money problems or if you were caught stealing  they were called bond slaves and that is where piercing come from so if you were to take a person from that period in time travel forward in time they would think all the woman where slaves?

But the crimes of the Catholic Church they persecuted Jewish people for keeping Gods law and keeping the Sabbath day during the inquisition if a person had no smoking coming out there chimney they were promptly arrested for being heretics and taken before the grand inquisitor for trials and torcher   for keeping Gods law that is back to front in the eyes of the whole bible, so if you’re going to cites what you call Christian is in fact not Christian at all it was roman pagan gods rebranded made to look like Christianity read the (two Babylon’s) in fact look at European history 

I was watch this program on a channel called EWTN which is the catholic channel and this priest and historian where talking about the history of Christendom in Europe and I start to laugh because if any catholic was to  read there bible they would see this is the church the bible talks about being the anti-Christ they were intellectualising everything they could not see the church they were talking in history was in fact the great false church in the book of revelation 17:

there is very few teaching of Christ actually practiced with the church, it is all a big love bomb teaching, love evil, love idols, break the commandments of God,  this is the church you are citing so please never quote this so called Christian church, the catholic church, it is guilty of more crime in history than any other I can think of?

The Catholics are more like sophism in Islam   and true Christians are like Sunnis in the teaching of the QUR'AN and for the record I am not confused this was imam from the mosque that told if there is any book of any contrition it is not the word God
So if there is just one contradiction in the QUR’AN then it is not the word of God fact?

The teacher at the mosque used this passage as weapon to attack the bible but if I had not received the Holy Spirit I would have converted to islam even with my great knowledge of the bible and I was supper naturally healed
So you can cite all the so called contrition until the end of time I will tell you how Jesus healed me?
But if you want prove I am the living prove and I am it?

I will tell you about the God of my fathers the God of Israel the only true God?

The reason why they had weapons was so Jesus was numbered with the transgressors when they arrested him that is why they had swords

but Islam is meant to be a religion of peace but it kills people and this book says if there be any book of any contradiction it is not the word of God i.e. Allah

So this is clear if you find just one then it is not the word of God this is applying the same rules to the QUR'AN

These are false preachers


(NIV) 2 Corinthians 11:13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

(KJV) 2 Corinthians 11:13-16)13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

16 I say again, let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
These false apostle or pastors or preachers there crystal clear to a person who is soaked in the word of GOD they will not be easily deceived?
Well what does it say about following pastors or Leaders in the church or out of it?

She says I follow (Pastor Chris)? Not (Jesus Christ) well during the times in the (New Testament Church) there were some of the same arguments of a Similar nature and the same?

So if we then say we are following (Pastor Chris)? And not “Christ” this only underpins there not doing what is commanded in the bible?
This is not only the woman that says this but many of the members of “Christ Embassy” think it and in there action reveal it and even say it so let’s be clear with scripture!

There is a reason why some in the church say they follow their “Spiritual Leader” or “Pastors” it is because there sent to teach us or perfect us and it does say this in the bible but and there is a big but what if there using the bible as a controlling tool to use you for personal gain and not true pastoral duties seeing the word “Pastor” only appears “Once” in the whole bible strange hey they think because pastors are sent to teach we are to follow them not true it Christ we are to grow up into read the passage, and you will see this it is unity in the body we are to become in Christ nothing more?
(NIV) Ephesians 4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
(NIV) Ephesians 4:12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

(NIV) Ephesians 4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

(NIV) Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.

(NIV) Ephesians 4:15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.


(NIV) Ephesians 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting
ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

So let’s just have a look at scriptures and what it teaches remember when I said I follow Christ? Alone well you would be shock to hear the apostle Paul come across the same thing?

A Church Divided Over Leaders

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.

12 What I mean is this: One of you says,

“I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided?

Was Paul crucified for you?

Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.)

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
The Church and Its Leaders

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 3:1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarrelling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans?

4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?

5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.

7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labour.
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.
11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.


12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
18 Do not deceive yourselves.

If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools”
so that you may become wise.


19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.
As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a];

20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”[b]
21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours,

22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours,
23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

As we can see in the highlighted parts of scripture that anyone who follows any man and boast in who they are “Mere Human Beings” and are really fools plus if you were to read over the text again and just simply put any man’s name in there i.e. (Pastor. Chris, Oyakhilome) then you understanding he is a man not a God, but a little “god” the Hebrew teach he is god like he is not Christ in any form like some say in the church? So if you follow a man and not Christ, it is (Idol Worship!)

That is so easy to see if “YOU” don’t agree then you are denying Jesus to be the Christ without even realizing it? And you have become an (Anti-Christ?)
Quote: the definition of an (Anti-Christ?)

Is anything that takes the place of Christ? Meaning idols or humans or leaders and if they are saying that they are “Christ” or pastors who take the praise of GOD?

But most people think anti-Christ means you must be against Christ but this is not true completely?
But that would be so obvious term (Anti-Christ?) wouldn’t it and yes you’re right anyone who opposes Christ is an anti- Christ? It is also the following 
It is anything that takes the place of Christ?
Here is the follow characteristic of the (Anti-Christ?)


1. They must be lawless
2. Exult: himself or herself above the name of GOD or in the place of him meaning Ha-Shem?
3. Exult: him or herself over everything that is worshiped?


Meaning respected above or honoured above the one who has created all things this is clear?
But here are some more examples in the bible it tell us that if you are a friend of the world you are not a friend of God and all so in the bible it says that your own nature is idolatry? Read in the book of Colossians? As It States below:
(N.I.V) Colossians 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: intimate
Immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
(K.J.V) Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
So we can conclude that idolatry is not just some stone idol? But it can also be something that takes the place of God or takes you away from service to God?
Antichrist and the devil. From the Deeds of the Antichrist fresco by Luca Signorelli, c. 1501
The term or title antichrist, in Christian theology, is a leader who fulfills Biblical prophecies concerning an adversary of Christ, while resembling him in a deceptive manner. The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny the ultimate salvation.
The term "antichrist" appears five times in 1 John and 2 John of the New Testament — once in plural form and four times in the singular.[1] The Apostle Paul's Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, in particular the 2nd chapter, summarizes the nature, work, coming, and revelation of the "Man of Sin" - a passage often regarded as referring to same person as the antichrist of 1 and 2 John.
So we can conclude the nature of man is such that it is the devils nature? because of sin that is why they call the anti-Christ the man of sin in the letters of the apostle Paul, or in other parts the man of lawlessness, but what is the definition of sin?
Sin is transgressions of the law?

(KJV) 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

(KJV) 1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

(KJV) 1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

(KJV) 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

(KJV) 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

(KJV) 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

(KJV) 1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

(KJV) 1 John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
So if we know him we will keep his commandments so in knowing GOD we will avoid sin?
And not commit sin against God in short righteousness should be our nature or better put our new nature.
(KJV) 1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

(KJV) 1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.


(KJV) 1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
So this man must by reason be an out and out law breaker both in man’s kingdom and Gods as well?

Well you must be wondering why I am talking about the anti-Christ? Well if you have a pastor that is letting his follower “Worship” him and pay him respect beyond the point of a simple thank you? And say thank you to the “Pastor” rather than giving thanks to GOD and taking all the praise? But if they praise the pastor and thank him for the opportunity for preaching the gospel! Well then if there gospel is a gospel about (Pastor Chris) not the gospel of Christ? It should be like this thank GOD for using us as the seed sower in us? And thank you GOD for giving the water for the seed to bring the increase? Meaning believers not cash?


But these members of the church are over doing it, and bowing there knee’s toward this individual when they’re paying them respect but if there even calling him “Father” and even saying he is “Jesus Christ in a white suite”?
So Then there guilty of worshiping the person, because there putting a man in the place of “Christ” the catholic priests are no different? They say they are Christ in person his image?


So the conclusion: is this these churches members meaning, (Christ Embassy), worship him as a GOD! Because he is there spiritual figure head because Jesus is in heaven? He is there representative on earth this is what some member believe I’ve come across this in a lot of the people there? As he teaches
Quote: he walketh and judgeth among the gods? This was to teach that we are GODs on earth?


(KJV) Psalm 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
So you now can reason out why they see him as a GOD some members do this but in truth not all there members are committing this crime against GOD? he says he himself is a spirit being? For more information and correct look for a booklet “Are we are Spirit Beings”? This is because we have the spirit of God I will post? a video on the web page to illustrate the point some members who are clearly unskilled in the word of GOD they fall into this trap of the devil, this is very much what the devil was trying to do in the garden of Eden with Adam & Eve, see on the day you eat of tree you will be like Gods (gods) which you can find in the bible he has made you little lower than angels in some parts like the book (psalms 82:4-


(KJV) (psalms 82:4- 8:1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
9:1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous
Does it not say that ye are gods and minister of fire? Like in the book Hebrews


(KJV) Psalms 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
(KJV) Psalms 82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
(KJV) Psalms 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
(KJV) Psalms 82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
(KJV) Psalms 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
(KJV) Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
(KJV) Psalms 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
(KJV) Psalms 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
(KJV) Isaiah 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.


(KJV) John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
(KJV) John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
(KJV ) John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if you notice there is a little god not like GOD meaning authority to rule that is what it is given here? The Hebrew is say is clearer? Here are the Hebrew words and a more clear translation?
A Hebrew - English Bible
According to the Masoretic Text and the JPS 1917 Edition
Psalms Chapter 82 תְּהִלִּים
א  מִזְמוֹר, לְאָסָף:
אֱלֹהִים, נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת-אֵל;    בְּקֶרֶב אֱלֹהִים יִשְׁפֹּט. 1 A Psalm of Asaph. {N}
God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
ב  עַד-מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ-עָוֶל;    וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים, תִּשְׂאוּ-סֶלָה. 2 'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
ג  שִׁפְטוּ-דַל וְיָתוֹם;    עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּיקוּ. 3 Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
ד  פַּלְּטוּ-דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן;    מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּילוּ. 4 Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
ה  לֹא יָדְעוּ, וְלֹא יָבִינוּ--    בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּכוּ;
יִמּוֹטוּ,    כָּל-מוֹסְדֵי אָרֶץ. 5 They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; {N}
all the foundations of the earth are moved.
ו  אֲנִי-אָמַרְתִּי, אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם;    וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶם. 6 I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
ז  אָכֵן, כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן;    וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּלוּ. 7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
ח  קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים, שָׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ:    כִּי-אַתָּה תִנְחַל, בְּכָל-הַגּוֹיִם. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all the nations. {P}


So we can see people have taken it out of context we are not GODS but only gods in the ability to judge and make judgments or to terms of ruler ship given

over to us as mankind this is what GOD has given us? We are made in his image this is proof reading for you



why some saying I follow (Pastor Chris) not Jesus Christ

Let’s look at a further point, I bet you think does this man ever stop well No?

Most people don’t think where did the term Christian come from in the world and what does it mean well, it means little Christ’s?
It was originally intended as an insult look at those little imitators it was because they were doing the work that this person called Jesus Christ this Jewish

fellow was doing? so they said look at these little Christ’s

That is where the word (Christos) comes from this where the word Christian comes from.

And it is found only a few places in the whole bible strange hey? Four places in the whole bible

(NIV) Acts 11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year

Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can
persuade me to be a Christian?" (2)

1st Peter 4:16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. (3)

(KJV) Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuades  me to be a Christian.

1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
But just because a person is a Christian does not make him a GOD or Christ’s? Christ’s simply means you belong to him it does not make you Christ? You have Christ in you through the Holy Spirit?

This does not make you a GOD and it does not make you the word?

Right if I have a cup and I pour water into the cup does that make the cup water because it is filled with the water the answer is to this is no?   It only makes

the cup a receptacle or container for holding the H’20 water  in short so think about this for a minute?
So if you have GODs spirit dwelling in you?

You are Christ’s meaning you belong to him?

So if any man be in Christ he is new creation?

We must be born of the spirit but this does not make us spirit beings yet?

We are his representatives of his government to come which government you wonder the kingdom of GOD that is coming to the earth heaven on earth as some would call it? We will rule with Gods hand in justice and peace?


So we are his government to come we are ambassadors as Christians?


So we must be Christ like him in our dealings with all mankind we are not “GODs” we must show people the action of the future government in a new world with Christ as king?

Ruling from Jerusalem the future world capital and the Centre of the earth?

So now if there is a government coming we are its ambassadors of it here on earth we are here as its  representatives of it as the bible teaches?
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God

(NIV) Ephesians 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
We as it representatives will be held to account for what we teach and do so all these people that are doing evil in the name of his son?
Playing Christian and claiming to be GODs this is clearly a sin of the highest order unlike man’s forms of government there is no diplomatic immunity nor can we

simply think we can break Gods law without receiving the laws of cause and effect.
We can’t live life with this in mind thinking we can just break Gods laws with impunity?
Its only through Christ can we escape this sin soaked world we need to keep the royal law of love?
We must live a Christian life?

So this is it, Love the lord your God first with all your heart and all your mind?
Free from idolatry and false worship of men of God dressed up as God who take the praise of the lord just remember I am a jealous GOD he said in his word?
So we should examine our self to see if we are in the faith daily?
Well let’s talk about what was going on around at this time? Remember she said I follow Pastor Chris?
GOD Sends Help From A Family Friend?

when will false demigods fail with bad gerry curls

MORE CONTRADICTIONS
IN THE QUR'AN

INTRODUCTION
The Quran, with its many ambiguous statements, is an ideal scripture to find contradictions. At the same time, its ambiguity provides a good opportunity for Muslims to find some explanation or the other to negate a contradiction. Some of the contradictions mentioned below might have already appeared on other Web Sites with slight variations.
Though Muslim scholars emphasize on the need to understand the CONTEXT of every verse to understand its implication better, the job is easily said than done. The innumerable repetitions and frequent appearance of irrelevant verses make the CONTEXT-finding task indeed difficult. One would expect a scripture to be organized in some logical manner to enable people to understand it better. Unfortunately the Quran, often projected by Muslims as the FINAL TESTAMENT from God, fails in this criterion too.
"Better than a thousand verses devoid of meaning is a single meaningful verse
which can bring tranquility to the one who hears it"
Dhammapada, 101
1. Embryonic Sex Determination
One of the references on human reproduction which Muslims often quote from the Quran is verse 53:45-46. This is interpreted as a reference to the determination of sex at the fertilization stage itself. However, elsewhere, the Quran says that the sex of a developing embryo is determined well after the leech-like clot stage!
(53:45-46)
"That He did create the pairs - male and female from a sperm-drop* (nutfah) when lodged (in its place)" (75:38-39)
"Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? Then did he become a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. And of him He made the sexes, male and female" **
___________
* Note the conspicuous absence of ovum required for fertilization.
** This view is further supported by this Hadith: "When 42 nights have passed over the drop (nutfah), Allah sends an Angel to it, who shapes it and make its ears, eyes, skin, flesh and bones. Then he says, "O Lord, is it male or female?" and your Lord decides what He wishes" (Hadith, Muslim, Book 33, No. 6392)

2. Width of the Garden
There is a clear discrepancy with reference to the width of the Paradise or Garden in the Quran. Verse 3:133 says that it is all the heavens (Samawath: plural) and the earth combined. Verse 57:21 says that the width is the (lower?) heaven (Sama: singular) and the earth combined.
(3:133)
", a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and the earth, prepared for the righteous," (57:21)
", a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of the heaven and the earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah , "


3. Who misleads people? Satan or Allah?
According to verse 4:119-120, Satan (the rejected one) is the one who creates false desires and misleads people. Refer also 15:42. However, according to verse 16:93, it is God who leaves people astray as He wills! See also 4:78.
(4:119-120)
"I will mislead them, and I will create in them false desires, " (says Satan)
"Satan make them promises and creates in them false hopes, " (vouched by Allah) (16:93)
"If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people. But He leaves straying whom He pleases and He guides whom He pleases , "


4. Attitude towards unbelieving parents
Al-Quran givens contradicting information as to what a believer should do when unbelieving parents and brothers insist on worshipping their gods. Verse 31:15 asks believers to keep company with unbelieving parents even if they insist (on following their religion?), but verse 9:23 asks believers not to take their fathers and brothers as protectors if they disbelieved!
(31:15)
"But if they strive (Jahada) to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), " (9:23)
"O ye who believe! Take not protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above faith: If any of you do so, they do wrong"

These verses of course appear in different contexts. Apologists can argue that verse 9:23 is applicable only in the context of hostilities and not otherwise. Then we have to define what is hostility. We must not forget that many passages in the Quran reflect an hostile environment of fluctuating fortunes between believers and unbelievers. Since neither the Suras nor all the verses within Suras are arranged chronologically, the contexts of these `revelations' become that much difficult to understand. Interestingly, verse 31:15 also seems to appear in the context of `Striving' from the Unbelievers' side. Note the word `Jahada'!

5. Which enters the Paradise: Soul or Body or Both?
After resurrection, it is the body (after reuniting with the soul?) which enters the Paradise. This has been emphasized throughout the Book. See verses 13:5, 17:98-99, 20:55, 34:7, 75:3-4. However verses 27-30 in Sura 89 state that it is the Soul (Nafs)* which enters the Garden!
(17:99)
"See they not that Allah who created the heavens and the earth has the power to create the like of them (anew)? , "
(75:3-4)
"Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? Nay we are able to to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers, " (89:27-30)
(To the righteous soul will be said) "O (tho) soul, in (complete) rest and satisfaction! Come back thou to thy Lord - well pleased (thyself), and well-pleasing unto Him! Enter thou, thee among my Devotees! Yea, enter thou My Heaven!"
(31:28)
"Your creation and your rising (from the dead) are only as (the creation and the rising of) a single soul, " (Pickthall)

In Islam, the bliss in Paradise is not complete without the corporeal and sense pleasures. Otherwise, how can one drink Zanzabil (76:17), feel the moderate temperature (76:13), enjoy maidens (55:56) and drink honey and milk (47:16-17). These are all joys in state for the faithful.
Yousuf Ali (note 6128 for verse 89:27-30) also says that it is the soul which enters the heaven, and not the gross body which perishes (His comment is contradictory to what verse 75:3-4 says!). Read verse 31:28 also. It says man's creation or resurrection is in no wise but as an individual soul*. Pickthall's translation (see box above) is more clear.
_____________
* Unlike in Vedic scriptures, the Quran does not clearly recognize the SOUL as a distinct entity from the BODY. The soul is often referred as a source of all inclinations and desires (3:61, 12:53). The Arabic word `Nafs' has been translated differently by different translators: as SOUL, MIND, SPIRIT and even as HEART! The word `Nafs' at times refers to the individual (12:53), sometimes to the Soul (6:93, 39:42), and sometimes to God Himself (6:12,54)!. Of particular interest is verse 21:35 which says "Every soul shall have a taste of death, ". This verse could mean: (i) that the Soul gets a taste of death after separation from the body, as Yousuf Ali interprets or (ii) that the Individual gets a taste of death as it is generally implied on most occasions (3:61, 51:21). Those who are of the opinion that `Nafs' in 21:35 only mean the real Soul would then have to consider this verse as another contradiction to verses 39:42 and 89:27-30 which imply that the Soul is taken back by Allah, momentarily during sleep and decisively at death. Does it mean that the Soul has no death?

6. God needs man or man needs God?
A very clear contradiction exists between verses 51:56 and 35:15. While the former verse says that God created Jinns and mankind for His own reasons (read also 67:2), the latter one says it is man who is in need of God! Read also 51:57.
(51:56)
"I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve me" *
(67:2)
"He who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is the best in deed" 35:15
"O mankind! It is you that have need of God: but God is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise"

_____________
* Of interest in this regard is the popular (but probably fabricated) Hadith: "I was a secret treasure, and I created the creatures in order that I might be known" (*, *)

7. EVIL AND GOOD: Where do they come from?
While one verse says that both Evil and Good issue from Allah, the very next verse says only Good comes from Allah!
(4:78)
", If some good befalls them, they say "This is from Allah". But if evil, they say "This is from thee" (O prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah, "* (4:79)
"Whatever good, (O man!) happens to thee, is from Allah. But whatever evil happens to thee, is from thyself"

________________
* Interestingly, the remainder of this verse goes like this: "But what has come to these people. That they fail to understand a single fact?" Can anyone understand what God says here? The fact that both Good and Evil are from Allah or only Good is from Allah?

8. Who has to be blamed for BELIEF AND DISBELIEF ?
(6:12)
"It is they who have lost their own souls, that they will not believe" (10:100)
"No soul can believe except by the will of Allah"

No explanation required for this contradiction!

9. Who has to be blamed for the wrongs done?
From verses 35:8, 16:93, 74:31, 2:142, we learn that it is Allah who has to be blamed for all the misguidance. While other verses hold man himself responsible for the wrongs done (30:9, 4:79).
(35:
"Allah leaves stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills" (30:9)
"It was not Allah who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls"

10. UNBELIEVERS: To be persecuted or forgiven?
Verses 23:117 and 98:6 say that unbelievers will not prosper and are the worst of creatures!. Verse 9:29 also asks believers to fight those who do not believe in Allah, the Last Day, His rules and His religion of truth. But verse 45:14 says otherwise. Read also 16:128.
(9:29)
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth , " (45:14)
"Tell those who believe, to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of Allah; It is for Him to recompense (for good or evil) each people according to what they have earned"


Apologists can argue that verse 9:29 was revealed in the context of war and 45:14 perhaps towards the end of hostilities. The fact is that the Quran does not specify what verses are applicable in the context of war and what is to be followed during other occasions. And also what rulings were for the past, what are for the present and what are for the future! God has unfortunately left everything to our discretion. Ironically, Apologists claim that the Quran contains solutions for the problems of the Past, Present and Future. There is little doubt that their claims is more emotional than factual.

11. God's advice to Muhammed on propagating Islam
We have seen apologists quoting verses from the Quran in support of their claim that the Quran does not recommend forceful conversions. The verse they often quote is 2:256 which says "There is no compulsion in religion". There are also many verses in the Quran which suggest otherwise and these have already appeared on web pages. Here we see two contradicting directives from God on conveying Allah's religion to the people:
(3:20)
"So if they dispute thee, say: "I have permitted my whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me", "Do you (also) submit yourselves? If they do, they are in right guidance. But if they turn back, thy duty is to convey the message. And in Allah's sight are (all) His servants" (8:38-39)
"Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from disbelief), their past would be forgiven; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning to them). And fight them on until there is no more persecution and the religion becomes Allah's in its entirety, "

Is verse 8:38-39 an abrogation of verse 3:20? If that is the case, can we recommend the directives in verse 8:38-39 as the standard method to be followed by all Muslims? Or is the latter verse given during the context of war? To me, these verses reflect the changing moods of the prophet in response to the public reaction he received. We see a content & tolerant messenger in verse 3:20 and a contempt and aggressive messenger in verse 8:38-39!

I am yet to see a scripture without any apparent internal/external contradiction in it. In general, the bigger the size of the Book, greater the number of contradictions. Particularly when the texts are a compilation of `revelations' attributed to many seers or prophets. We are living in a pluralistic environment and our effort must to understand the sublime teachings of all religious texts. Those who sincerely wish to investigate the Truth should do it without any bias and prejudice. Emotion should not take an upper hand at the expense of common sense!
"Those who take error for truth, and the truth for error, will never attain the supreme goal,
for they are led astray by vain desires and false views"
Dhammapada, 11.

Note: Readers should not get carried away by the fact that I have quoted verses from Buddhist scripture Dhammapada. I don't mind quoting verses from any scripture as long as they meet these two criteria: (i) If its message is sensible and is of great value to the present and (ii) if it does not contradict another verse of the same Book.

what i was really hoping for was a responce from a christ embassy member to really show them what anti christ is from the bible

SCRIPTURE FOCUS: Matthew 19:16-30 Mark 10:17-21 Luke 18:18-30



In the verses immediately preceding this quote by Jesus we have the story of a young man who ran to Jesus, knelt down, and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" "I have kept all the commandments," he said, "since I was young: what do I still lack?"



Probably this young man had kept all the commandments in the literal sense: but he still loved the world. And Jesus knew that in this particular case, the young man could not be healed of such a desperate disease except through a desperate remedy. So Jesus commanded, "Go sell all that you have, give it to the poor, and come and follow me." Upon hearing this the young man went away sad, because he owned so much. This young man would not store up treasures in heaven at such a great price.



Seeing this, Jesus "Looked around and said to his disciples," (Mark 10:23) "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God." It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!"



The disciples were astonished at this remark and said among themselves, "Who then can be saved." The rich have so many great advantages. They are free from worry about the basic necessities of life. They do not face the thousands of difficulties of the poor. If a rich man, with all these advantages has difficulty entering the kingdom of God, how could anyone else get in?



Some have argued that Jesus partially retracts his statement on the difficulty of salvation for the rich in Mark 10:24. Here some manuscripts add to Jesus statement the phrase "those who trust in riches" seemingly watering down the position of having riches to trusting in them. However, this phrase does not appear in the best manuscripts. And even if the added phrase is accepted, consider that (1) Jesus immediately confirms the idea again in the next verse by the awful declaration "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (2) But more important consider that all three sentences say the same thing. For it indeed is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for those who have riches not to trust in them!



Jesus could see His disciples were astonished at this hard saying. "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Can a rich person go to heaven? Jesus' answer: It is possible but difficult.



So what is a "rich person?" How much does it take to be "rich?" Are you rich? "Rich man" here means not only a man who has heaped up gold like dust or silver like sand, but anyone who has more than the necessities and conveniences of life. Anyone who has food and clothing for himself and his family and something more, is rich.



The kingdom of God and heaven mean the same thing. But this does not directly relate to the kingdom of glory in the hereafter (though that, without question, will follow) but the "kingdom of heaven" is most directly related to true religion on earth. In other words, Jesus is saying that it is absolutely impossible, unless by God's power, that a rich person should be a Christian--to "have the mind that was in Christ" or to "walk as Jesus walked" Such are the hindrances and temptations of riches.



How does wealth hinder holiness? To list them would require a large volume, so we will only touch on a few of them.





Riches--hindrance to holiness



Hindrance to faith

Consider the hindrance to faith prompted by riches. The root of all religion is faith, without which it is impossible to please God . There are several ways to interpret the term "faith."



(1) You may consider faith as the "evidence of things not seen" --a belief in the invisible things of God. If so, then riches hinder this kind of faith in that they tend to focus your mind on the visible and material rather than the invisible and eternal, thus making faith in the unseen difficult.



(2) Perhaps you take "faith" as meaning confidence or trust in God. What a tendency for wealth to destroy this! Having wealth tends to make a person trust in wealth. Rather than looking to God for happiness or protection, the rich trust in their riches to provide these things.



(3) Or if you take faith in the proper Christian sense, as a divine confidence in a pardoning God; riches are a deadly--almost insurmountable--hindrance to faith! Can a rich man lay aside his power and prestige and come to God as a sinner on the level with his poorest employee; with the "beggar who lies at his gate full of sores?" Can a rich man have saving faith? Impossible; unless through some power that made the heavens and the earth. Yet without humbling himself like this, a rich person cannot, in any sense, "enter into the kingdom of God."



So however you understand faith, riches are a great hindrance to it. This is why it is difficult--almost impossible--for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. They are hindered from having faith.



Hindrance to love



Wealth is an equal hindrance to the first fruit of faith, loving God. "If any man love the world," the apostle Paul said, "the love of the father is not in him" How is it possible for a man or woman to not love the world who is constantly surrounded with all the world's allurements? How can this person still hear the still small voice which says, "My son, give me your heart?" What power (unless the Almighty's) enable the rich person to honestly sing,--



Keep me dead to all below,

Only Christ resolved to know;

Firm and disengaged, and free,

Seeking all my bliss in Thee!



Wealth is an obstacle to love of God. But it is an equal hindrance to loving our neighbor as ourselves; that is, to loving all men and women as Christ loved us. A rich man may indeed love people of his own party, race, or those of his own opinion. He may love those who love him: "Do not even the pagans do the same?" But a rich person cannot have pure disinterested good-will to every child of man. This kind of love can only spring from the love of God, which his great possessions expelled from his soul. This is why it is difficult--almost impossible--for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. They are hindered from loving.



Hindrance to humility



Where does humility come from? The love of God is the source-spring of all true humility. Therefore as far as riches hinder the love of God they likewise hinder true humility. But beyond this, riches cut us off from conversations which might make us aware of our own defects, weaknesses, and shortcomings. People seldom tell a rich man what they really think of him. Without this frank and humbling conversation we are likely to grow old in our faults until we die at the zenith of our deeply rutted imperfections. The rich are seldom humble.



Hindrance to meekness



Without humility, meekness cannot survive; for "of pride cometh contention". Jesus directs us to learn of Him and at the same time "to be meek and lowly in heart." Riches are as great a hindrance to meekness as they are to humility. Wealth prevents an attitude of humility which, in turn, prevents meekness. Why? Because meekness increases in proportion to our own decreasing opinion of ourselves. Conversely, the higher we think of ourselves, the less meekness we exhibit. Thus, since riches inflate a person's self-opinion it likewise decreases the Christian virtue of meekness.



This is why it is difficult--almost impossible--for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.



Hindrance to yieldedness



This Christian virtue is closely allied to meekness and humility. For lack of a better term we shall call it "yieldedness." It is a readiness to submit to others, to give up our own will. This seems to be the quality St. James credits to "the wisdom from above," which we translate "easily entreated;" easy to be convinced of what is true; easily persuaded. How rarely is this characteristic found in a rich person!



Hindrance to patience



How uncommon it is to find patience among the rich and powerful. Unless, of course, there is the counterbalance of long and severe suffering, which God sometimes grants to rich people he loves, as an antidote to their riches. This is not a rarity: God sometimes sends pain and sickness or other great crosses to those who have great possessions. By these means, "patience has its perfect work," until they are "complete and lacking nothing" (James 1:4).



These are merely a few of the hindrance to holiness surrounding the rich on every side. Riches poison the soul. Riches keep the person from holy qualities like faith, love, humility, meekness, yieldedness, patience. This is why it is difficult--almost impossible--for a rich person to be saved.





Riches--temptation to sin



Not only are riches a great hindrance to holy qualities, they are likewise a temptation to unholy dispositions.



Temptation to Atheism



The greatest temptation which naturally flows from riches in Atheism--even to the extent of complete forgetfulness of God--as if there was no such Being in the universe. "Enjoy life, you deserve it. . . you owe it to yourself" is the creed of the rich. This philosophy is common and its prophets are persuasive: "you only go around once in life, grab all the gusto you can." They presume that God (if there is one) is "watching from a distance" and all that matters is the tangible, the material; what you have and enjoy. Materialism is Atheism. Laugh on; play on; sing on; dance on: but "For all these things God will bring you to judgment!" ( ) Riches promote Atheism--living like the material is more important than the spiritual. This is why rich people have great difficulty being Christians--it is much easier for the rich to be Atheists--at least practically live like an Atheist. This is why it is difficult--almost impossible--for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. Atheists do not enter the kingdom of God. Atheists do not enter the kingdom--even those who do not claim to be Atheists, yet live like it.





Temptation to idolatry



From Atheism there is an easy transition to idolatry; from the worship of no God to the worship of false gods. In fact, he who does not love God will sooner or later love the works of God's hand--the creature, if not the creator. To how many varieties of idolatry is the rich man or woman exposed! He is under constant temptation to "love the world" in all its branches--"the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life" .



(1) Desire of the flesh. The rich person is under countless temptations to gratify the flesh. Understand this clearly. The "desire of the flesh" does not refer to only one desire, but gratifying all outward senses. It is equal idolatry to seek our happiness in gratifying any of these senses. Some may boast that they would never gratify the fleshly desire through sexual promiscuity or drunkenness, but they seek happiness in the sensuality of eating great feasts. They avoid unhealthy alcohol taking care of their bodies; they just keep the soul dead through their sensuousness.



(2) Desire of the eyes. Rich people are equally surrounded by temptation from the "desire of the eyes;" that is, seeking happiness in gratifying the imagination, of which the eyes are the chief minister. How do you get pleasure through the eyes? The pleasures of the imagination are those things which are grand, wonderful, beautiful, or new. Have you not found this true? Rich people have a taste for grand objects and beautiful things. . . but especially for new things. The desire for novelty--newness-is as natural to men and women as the desire for meat or drink.



Now, consider the multitude of temptations to this kind of idolatry, which naturally flow from riches! How strongly are the rich tempted to seek happiness in grand and beautiful houses, in elegant furniture, in valuable and curious artwork, in luxurious automobiles, and perhaps in that most trivial of all trivialities--expensive designer clothing. The rich of lower mentality must have every new thing which they are told is fashionable.



And the rich who are of a more elevated mind are tempted to seek happiness in poetry, history, music, philosophy, or curious arts and science. Although these things all have their use and can be pursued purely, seeking happiness in any of them, instead of God, is outright idolatry. Therefore since riches furnish a man or woman increasing opportunity to indulge these desires shouldn't it be asked, "Is not the life of a rich person, above all others, full of great temptations to indulge the "desire of the eyes" on earth.



(3) The pride of life. Or consider how much a rich man or woman is tempted to seek happiness in "the pride of life." The apostle Paul was not meaning pomp, or showing off, or traveling with an impressive entourage as much as the "honor that comes from men," whether deserved or not. A rich person is sure to encounter this; it is a trap he can not escape. Why is it universally true that "if you do well" and increase in goods, "men will speak well of you." Riches bring honor.



And who can withstand this honor and applause without beginning to "think more highly of himself than he ought to think" succumbing to the temptation of the "pride of life." How can a rich person escape pride for this reason alone--his wealth attracts praise from every quarter? Praise is generally poison to the soul; and the more pleasing, the more fatal. This is particularly true when it is undeserved. But not only praise--deserved or undeserved--but everything about the rich man or woman tends to inspire and increase pride. The opulent home, elegant furniture, well-chosen art, expensive automobile, fine suits or dresses have an almost irresistible tendency to make the rich person think more highly of him or herself than they ought to think. Riches bring the temptation to the "pride of life." This is why it is difficult--almost impossible--for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. They are constantly tempted to idolatry--to gratify the desires of the flesh, or eyes, or submit to the temptation to the pride of life.



Temptation to self-will.



All of us start out life with a natural self-will--a selfish drive to have our own way. Riches naturally feed and increase self-will. Employees' jobs depend on pleasing the rich owner or boss. Friends and acquaintances work hard at obliging the rich person. The rich person's will is continually being indulged and thus strengthened; until eventually he or she is unable to submit to either God or men. The rich inherit a great temptation to self-will.



Temptation to other sins.



Riches have a tendency to nourish every attribute which is contrary to the love of God. But they have an equal tendency to feed every passion that is contrary to the love of our neighbor. The rich are tempted to contempt, particularly to those who are inferior, and nothing is more contrary to love. Or consider resentment of some supposed or real offense. Perhaps even revenge, which God claims as His own peculiar prerogative. But at least there is anger, for it easily arises in the mind of the rich, "What! How dare they treat me this way!" Related to anger is peevishness and irritability. Are the rich guilty of these more than the poor? Experience shows that they are. The wealthy tend to be the hardest to please, considering any kind of less-than-perfect workmanship as a "cross to bear." They are the quickest to throw their weight around and insist that things be done over again--and right this time. Ask any car wash attendant if this is true. Peevishness and irritability are exceptional temptations of the rich.



Or consider how the rich are continually tempted to self-gratification, the opposite of self-denial. Jesus "said to them all" (the whole multitude, not just the apostles only) "If any man will come after me," (will be a real Christian) "let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." (Luke 9:23) How hard a saying for those who are living the good life among their piled up possessions! But the Scripture cannot be ignored. Therefore, unless a man or woman does indeed "deny self" every pleasure which diverts pleasure in God, "and take up his cross daily," (obeys every command of God no matter how contrary to the flesh) he cannot be a disciple of Christ; he cannot "enter the kingdom of God."



Think further about this important idea of self-denial. How many rich people in today's church really do actually "deny themselves and take up their cross daily?" How many rich church people do you know who resolutely abstain from every pleasure unless they know that it prepares them for taking greater pleasure in God? Who of you who are now rich deny yourselves like you did when you were poor? Who willingly endure labor or pain like you did when your net worth was nothing? Do you fast now as often as you did then? Do you rise early to pray now as you did then? Do you endure cold, or heat, wind, or rain as cheerfully as ever? Do you see one reason why so few increase in possessions, without decreasing in grace? Because they no longer deny themselves and take up their crosses daily. They no longer endure hardship as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.



"Go to now, you rich men! Weep and howl for the judgments that are coming upon you;" The "canker of your gold and silver" will be "a testimony against you," and will "eat your flesh as fire!" What a pitiful condition! And who will help you? You need someone to deal plainly with you. But few will speak as plain to you as to one of your children or employees. No one who hopes to gain by your favor, or fears losing by your displeasure will tell you the truth. O that God would cause these words to sink deep into your hearts! You have been a friend of the church, and have given when the Lord's work was in special need. Might we even say you love God's work and his ministers?



Here is the word for you. You know that it is difficult--almost impossible--for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. But it is possible with God. Let your heart be whole with God! Seek your happiness in Him alone. Be careful to not cling to the dust of your riches. "This earth is not your home." Work to use the world and enjoy God, rather than using God and enjoying the world. Cling to all the things you possess as if you were a homeless refugee. Be a good steward of the many gifts of God; so that when you are called forward to give an account, He will say "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord!"

The Prosperity Doctrine In The Churches


By crossmam9

The prosperity doctrine in the churches of the world and there Christian groups

This section in the book will cover what is true prosperity in the scripture and what the bible teaches we will take a look at all the so called health wealth gospels going around in the Christian world?

So why is the gospel “Big Business in the World of Christendom” there has been many books writing on this matter and some are very good, and some for the teaching and how

God makes you rich and some advocate you should be poor but let make this clear God does not want you poor nor does he want you rich?
He wants you to love people and show brotherly love caring for one another

But Jesus said this to do unto another as you have them to unto you for the sums up the law and the prophets

But don’t just take my word for this in my research of this matter I have more or less prove that the bible  has been hijacked with these prosperity preacher who are out to line their own empires I will give a list of the preachers who are clearly twisting the scripture for their own gain
But I will teach what prosperity gospel really is and why it is so appealing to the masses 

Well what I found in my time looking over this matter I found it was the poor who are where drawn to this gospel there also the most the ones being exploited with it that is shadily the tragedy here.

So these preachers are the benefactors who take the basic Subsistence of the weak and the Vulnerable with false concepts?

The Prosperity Scriptures

Jesus over turns the tables for making sales in the house of God
Mark 11:15On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves,

Mark 11:16and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.

Mark 11:17And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: " 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.' "

Mark 11:17And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: " 'My house will be called a
house of prayer for all nations' ? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.' "

Mark 11:18The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching


Giving and sharing  not sowing


Acts 4:32-37

New International Version (NIV)

The Believers Share Their Possessions

Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.

Acts 4:33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all

Acts 4:34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales

Acts 4:35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

Acts 4:36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”),

Acts 4:37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.

New International Version (NIV)

Ananias and Sapphira

Acts 5:1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

Acts 5:2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

Acts 5:3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?

Acts 5:4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

Acts 5:5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.

Acts 5:6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

Acts 5:7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”

Acts 5:9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”

Acts 5:10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

Acts 5:11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.



1 Corinthians 9 (King James Version)

King James Version (KJV)

1 Corinthians 9:1 Am I am not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

1 Corinthians 9:2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 9:3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,

1 Corinthians 9:4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?

1 Corinthians 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

1 Corinthians 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

1 Corinthians 9:7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

1 Corinthians 9:8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

1 Corinthians 9:10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

1 Corinthians 9:12If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

1 Corinthians 9:14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

1 Corinthians 9:16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

1 Corinthians 9:17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

1 Corinthians 9:18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:19For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

1 Corinthians 9:20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
1 Corinthians 9:21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

1 Corinthians 9:22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

1 Corinthians 9:23And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

1 Corinthians 9:24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

1 Corinthians 9:25And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

1 Corinthians 9:26I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

1 Corinthians 9:27But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.


1 Corinthians 9:1-25 (New International Version)

New International Version (NIV)

Paul’s Rights as an Apostle

1 Corinthians 9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?

1 Corinthians 9:2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 9:3 This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me.

1 Corinthians 9:4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink?

1 Corinthians 9:5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas[a]?

1 Corinthians 9:6 Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?

1 Corinthians 9:7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?

1 Corinthians 9:8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?

1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”[b] Is it about oxen that God is concerned?

1 Corinthians 9:10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.

1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?

1 Corinthians 9:12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?

1 Corinthians 9:14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:15 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to
deprive me of this boast.

1 Corinthians 9:16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

1 Corinthians 9:17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.

1 Corinthians 9:18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.

Paul’s Use of His Freedom

1 Corinthians 9:19 Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

1 Corinthians 9:20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.

1 Corinthians 9:21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law.

1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
The Need for Self-Discipline

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

1 Corinthians 9:25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

2 Corinthians 9:10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

I rebuke the woman so I made the art work for this it is in my book with the names to expose the minister as well

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Yes very sad this site is awash with people who work for them the churches there is a massive list of people who twist the bible?

I get called crazy for telling them the truth but don't lose faith God is not blind to them he has marked them out in history?
This is why Jesus said broad is the road to destruction many will go in but the road to life is few

I. The Broad Way
Jesus warned,
Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

The false teachers mentioned above, and the many like them (2 Timothy 4:3), all teach a broad theological road that supposedly leads to heaven (e.g. see some of our reports). False teachers differ as to how broad this way is, but nonetheless, they all teach a broad way. As Charles Spurgeon put it,
What is the reason why there are so many [Christian] sects in the world? Surely it must be because we don't follow the guidance of the Spirit of God. If we followed the Word of God and the will of God in all things, we should be very much more alike than we are. I do not think that even then we should all run in the same groove, for the road to heaven may be sufficiently wide to have several different paths in it, and yet shall they all be in the same way and in the same road. (Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Vol. 61, p. 514-515, Sept., 28, 1870, bold added)
Yes indeed, they are all "in the same way and in the same road." Jesus called it the "broad" road "that leads to destruction" (Matthew 7:13).

For the record anyone who fights evil is my brother anyone who keeps Gods law is my brother sister and much more anyone makes friends with darkness is my enemy

John 15:14You are my friends if you do what I command


Matthew 12:46-50

New International Version (NIV)


Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
