If it is not in the bible then why is it being done by Christians

It is common practice with present day Pentecostal Christians to take their newly born to church for dedication in 3 months. Were Christians asked to do this in the bible, and where

POLICE DEY READ BIBLE OOOO





On Lagos-Ibadan express road when a Pastor met a team of policemen who, quite naturally, wanted 'something' from him. Since he was not prepared to play their games, they asked for his papers and having combed through everything without any offence with which to nail the 'stubborn' pastor, they now asked him to open the bonnet of his car. A careful scrutiny of the engine number against what was on paper revealed that letter U was written in such a way that it could be mistaken for letter V. That was all the officer-in-charge needed to shout "stolen vehicle!

Sensing trouble, even when he knew he committed no offence, the pastor called the OC to say he was a priest to which the officer replied :"Please, leave that pastor thing, in any case, if you are indeed a pastor, then you must have a Bible in your car, bring it." The Pastor did as was commanded after which the officer now ordered:

"Please read Matthew 5:25, 26 to me".



The incredulous Pastor opened to the recommended passage and read:



"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to a judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth; you will not get out until you have paid the last penny." Matthew 5:25, 26


"Please read Matthew 22: 15 - 22, with emphasis on verse 21 to me".

"They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's."

The man of God quietly made an "offering" of "just" one N100 to his newly found "preacher".



End of service! Go in peace and argue no more, said the OC



I found it interesting, and just modified it a little

That does not, in any way, answer the topic's question. And what survey did you carry out that shows that all women play hard to get?

You really don't need a survey for that

You see it everyday, she originally acts not intrested. When she sees the guy loosing intrest she slows down and gives some more green light. They seem to love the chase!!!

Believe Jesus who appeared to those disciples after he had died and had been buried! He had died, his body had been taken away, and Joseph of Arimathea went to get permission to give him a proper burial which means he was already certified dead by those in charge of his crucifixion. He appeared to the disciples and showed them his wounds (to prove he was the one who had been crucified, had died and had been buried )after he had resurrected!

These are our additions, read what he said below

Dalby:
Luke 24:36-42
36 [/b]And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[b]37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see;for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

Categorically, he was not spirit, but was living. The natural assumption after the death of someone the spirit departs the body, so any sighting of that person after that is spirit!!!

When there is a sighting of a spirit, the dead body is still there which in this case the body was not found. Just suppose he did not die!!!

John 19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

How come 3 men crucified, of the 3, 2 were still alive at the time and their legs had to be broken. For Jesus, he was dead already

A person is clinically dead when the heart stops beating (has gone dead) how come when they pierced a spear on his side, blood and water immediately flowed out. What was pumping it

I hope this does not start the 3rd world war here. I was just thinking!!!

Luke 24:36-42
36 [/b]And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[b]37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

I think what he is saying is that the implication of the coloured text is that Jesus the Christ was saying that he was a living being and not a spirit while christians today say he was crusified and resurrected after 3 days.

[quote author=nopuqeater link=topic=445327.msg6592477#msg6592477 date=1282126949]Jesus says in John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, The truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus says He is The Truth, and Allah says according to your post above that he is also called the Truth! So, Jesus is your God.   Grin

[/Quote]While Jesus will have to yield to the "father" according to your statement, it is an indication that he is not in control. But then Truth is different from truth, the same way i say to you a real son must have a mother who is the wife of a real father.

Jesus says in John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, The truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

I really don't understand the argument in the above statement. The way to life is truth. Jesus was not referringto himself as a person but referring to the truth.

John 19: 28 - 30

28After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

29Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Jesus was still alive in verse 28, but he knew he had completed his work which did not include his dying!!! contrary to what most of my christian brothers will say. His dying was actually a consequence of his work which was to bring the truth to man. He knew this and was asking for the cup to pass over him in the garden. He said he was thirsty to fulfill the scripture and said it is finished.

See passages below, Jesus knew his death was a consequence of and not the work itself
Mat 26:39  And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Mat 26:42  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

In the qur'an Muhammad is by far exalted than Jesus, and recently a lot of people including Christians have rated prophet Muhammad S.A.W to be the most influential man to have walked the earth.

More importantly I worship God ---The ONE who created Jesus, why you worship his servant -- a pious man but Human, hence we can clearly see who settled for less.

The Qur'an was written by Muhammad so what do you expect
Rating Muhammad more than Jesus like you said was done by people and not GOD or Allah, so it is immaterial

I think what is paramount is the message they brought

@poster

When you have a match like that switch off your phone

queeneve:
Just like WOMEN BEING OVER SENSITIVE ABOUT SPORTS,

You MEN being AzzHOLES if we SAY NO SEX TONIGHT,

I will let u be, cos we both enjoy it.

Be rest assured after the rains tomorrow I will be the one saying it cos I am tired and just got back from work.

Any women using sex as a weapon for me has failed from the beginning

@poster,

Frankly I do not think u love J. My thinking is that you see J subconsciously as being weak. You are angry that your friend gets away with having multiple relationships without being caught by her main boyfriend J. You tried it once and was caught. It is more of a rivalry thing where J will just be the casualty.

Taking J will be an ego move on your part to show your friend that you are superior regardless of being caught (not being able to play the multiple relationship game) and can have what ever she has or can have should you decide to have it. You are constrained by your new resolve

IgboGirl:
I don't know why someone of you think this is a ridiculous question If you haven't done it before or don't have a clue what the poster is talking about then say so instead of labeling his question ridiculous.
Anyway, this position of sleeping is only meant for guys who have the stamina and girls who are not overweight.
I personally have done it couple of times, why? Cos I like feeling my man's hearbeat and his sweet embrace with those muscles of his . It's not uncomfortable for him cos he's got the stamina. He is very fit! But it's not every night, just once in a while when we feel like it. He usually asks me to.

IgboGirl:
Why do men fall so cheap by stooping so low to sleep with their girlfriends before getting married?
Marriage means that the man's body and his wife's body belong to each other
therefore having a sex affair outside marriage is like a type of stealing.
If your woman really loves you, she should respect that body by accepting your ring and say "I DO"(get married) before sleeping with you.
I am 25 years old and still a virgin and I will not dare to sleep with any man outside marriage.
I will treat him like a gentleman he deserves by getting married before the next level.
fellas out there, take my advice and stop being cheap. Thanks

I only hope that you dont find out that your man (christian brother) is impotent during your honey moon

These things do happen

Abstinence still remains the best antidote

The code is dont ever be caught, but if in the spot, Deny! Deny!! Deny!!!
