Christianity Etc › Re: I Went To Church For The First Time In More Than A Decade by davidinchrist(m): 9:07pm On Dec 27, 2020

For many, staying away from churches is much better. It would be a lot safer for many professing christians to stay away from churches that do not lead to a change of life in Christ, but just having a mere form of godliness.

In other words, it is better to be a SINGLE candidate of hell than a DOUBLE one. At such places, they tell you're saved when you're terribly lost; and you start imaging that you're on your way to heaven. It's been over 6 years since I stopped going to these great churches of men; cos if my leader is blind he will lead me into the pit (hell).

NOW: BEING A CHURCH GOER OR NOT IS NOT THE MAIN THING. THE THING IS: DO WE OBEY JESUS DAILY? John 14:15

If not, please don't ever imagine you're saved yet, even if you're the G.O or Bishop of the biggest church in America and UK.

God bless.

Christianity Etc › Reasonable Foolishness by davidinchrist(op): 10:16pm On Dec 25, 2020

1Cor.1.18 - I know very well how FOOLISH the message of "the cross" sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are "being saved" recognize this message as the very POWER of God.

1Cor.3.18 - Let no man DECEIVE himself. If any man among you seemeth to be WISE in this world, let him become a FOOL, that he may be WISE.

Christianity Etc › Don't Be Salt That Has Lost Its Taste by davidinchrist(op): 12:04am On Dec 20, 2020

Matt.5.13 - You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is NOT GOOD for anything any longer but to be THROWN OUT and trodden underfoot by men.

Matt.10.39 - If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for me, you will find it.

Luke.14.26 - "If you want to be my follower you must love me more than your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.

Luke.14.33 - So no one can become my disciple without giving up everything for me.

Christianity Etc › When Last Did You Hear A Sermon/message On Any Of These Passages? by davidinchrist(op): 11:59pm On Nov 28, 2020

Now, I don't mean just the speaking or preaching on them; I mean plus practical Obedience: Reality, not just Great words or wonderful explanations.

Matthew 10:38 KJV
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Matthew 16:24 KJV
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Luke 14:27 KJV
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

John 12:24 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Matthew 10:39 KJV
[39] He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Luke 9:59-60 KJV
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

[60] Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

Luke 9:62 KJV
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:24 KJV
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Hebrews 10:26-27 KJV
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

[27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

If yes, then I must praise God for you and your church/pastor. Otherwise, I would be sure that something is terribly wrong with your faith in Christ. And it's most likely you're still being victimized by wolves in sheep's clothing: they usually avoid verses like these like the plague, or twist some to form the false grace/prosperity gospel. Let's examine ourselves really well, lest we'll continue living in a world of delusion of great men/church.

May Jesus bless you.

delkuf:
Have you seen a sinner someone not living a holy life seeking after God

Sure, infact, lots of them; especially in churches. This was what Jesus was saying here:

Matt.15.8 - 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away.
Matt.15.9 - Their worship is a farce, for they replace God's commands with their own man-made teachings.'"

So, the main thing is to first obey God's word, not preaching or doing lots of religious activites:

John.14.15 - "If you love me, obey my commandments.

Peace with you.

Christianity Etc › Re: How Do I Seek After The Kingdom Of God by davidinchrist(m): 11:12pm On Nov 08, 2020

delkuf:
The best way to seek after the kingdom of God is to preach the gospel. Tell others about Christ because that is the only thing that move God

Well, no. One has got to live holy first by obeying Jesus according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, otherwise, he/she ends up as an hyprocrite. Op needs to check his motive, though. You can't love God and money: you cannot serve two masters.

Peace with you.

Thanks and God bless you

I'm in category C which is bsc.ed, so the price for category C is 6k if you register on your own but if you do it in a university, you will pay more, I paid 15k 'cause I registered it in the school I graduated from, after the registration, they sent us a text and we went to the school ICT center to write the PQEI.

The question borders on many things, a staff told me the higher your category, the harder the questions, it was 60questions for 40minutes, if you don't finish before then, your computer will shut down and you won't be able to submit your answers.

We were asked many questions on Educational technology, education management and supervision, measurement and evaluation, classroom management, research methodology, educational psychology, guidance and counseling, sociology of education, philosophy of education, micro-teaching, two questions on mathematics involving mean, median and mode, the other is Zscore, one question in English and also questions on history(Socrates, plato, Aristotle quotes, names of founders, Nigeria political history concerning education).

The exam guide we studied helped to an extent, The TRCN exam guide is sold for N1500.

You need to read a lot for this exam, the reason why I did well was 'cause I am a fresh graduate and I still remember what I was taught, its not easy if you don't study hard or you have graduated for a long time.

Nice points there...

Yes, if you never tasted it..

Friend, not sure I got you right; but even if you were a great porn star with many awards, by the time the Fear, Love and the Power of God come upon you, you would STOP any Sin with strong passion.

I started getting sexually polluted from as little as KG (no thanks to the media or films that got my siblings, friends and I polluted). You can imagine what it means at secondary school level. I got converted shortly after secondary school, and by God's grace, I haven't entertained visitors through out university, service and till now, despite much temptations right, left and center from the media and the opposite sex.

Now, I hardly watch television, except for news and educational programs, nothing else really interests me. I prefer my computer and mobile phones, so that I have more control over what I see or watch.

Greed

And lust towards the opposite sex because the body of a woman is like heaven to the eyes
Hell to the soul
And purgatory for the wallet
I think i will adhere to that of my grandfather instead of this one written by bros op that includes alcohol
Because no matter what the son of man is supposed to drink enough beer anyday anytime twice on Sunday because the word of God warm the soul but only a good beer warms the belly

Christianity Etc › Why Are You Crying? by davidinchrist(op): 11:14pm On Oct 30, 2020

Exod.14.15 - Then the LORD said to Moses, "WHY are you CRYING out to me? Tell the people to get MOVING!

In other words, stop worrying, whining and complaining; just Repent, Obey Jesus and keep moving by faith. We must always remember, though; that the Word of God is not for all that's called Christian or that goes to church regularly as many Pastors and Prophets try to fool their bond audiences or members.

In the text above, God was talking to (bro) Moses, who was a 'true' prophet of God; NOT Pastor/Prophet Moses, who was out to build Mega-churches and make millions off the poor and the rich; and live luxuriously after the order of celebrities and world rulers: INSTEAD OF Jesus.

Secondly, Jesus told Moses, "tell the people", NOT the world or church-regulars, but God's people whether IN or OUTSIDE a of local church, who love and OBEY Jesus' words as in the New testament, to get MOVING. Even though their enraged enemies were on sight a far, approaching, and seeking to devour them mercilessly.

Before we claim God's Words, we must be sure to truly follow Jesus' words in obedience, especially the New testament, and not continue in deep deception of many Great Preachers and Church founders of our day, whose hearts are corrupted by Money and the honour of men.

John.15.14 - You are my friends if you obey me (Jesus).

{and I think the opposite must be true as well: "you are my enemies if you don't obey me"}

May Jesus bless you.

To fear God and surrender ALL to Jesus: this is the major solution to all sins. With that, there wouldn't be any need for so much stories or worries. You just got to become new in Christ.

Good morning.

Please I need suggestions.

What kind of prayers should I pray when the temptation arises, which Bible verse should I read?

Please know this is someone who's been addicted to porn for more than 7 years.

Friend, some gimmicks or self-development programs might work a bit or not at ALL depending on some factors; but ultimately, the main solution:

1. Be Truly Born again

2. Surrender All to Jesus

3. Fear God and obey his words

(Or do you have any of these above? Farfetched!)

Sorry, I had to repeat the same idea in different words. But honestly, that is the solution to your Life: go to God and commit yourself to him. He'll make you new and glorify himself in you: if you are willing. You don't need the opinions of people; Repent, go and settle your case with God: He is the Creator, respond to him.

HRHQueenPhil:
I wish u buttress more so ethiopian eunuchs among us can better understand

The more we love sins, the more hatred and denial of Christ. Jesus was connecting adultery and general sins with DENYING HIM and His Words with the generation of that time (over 2000 years ago); in a sense, our generation is more adulterous and generally sinful. I understand that people now commit sexual sins together "online": not even sure that was possible 100 years ago.

The love of Sexual Sins (maybe in secret) and others automatically put out the love of Christ and his words in ones heart. Just yesterday, I wanted to take a quick look at an interesting blog or something with a clean title, as I clicked, hardly had I scrolled down a bit when I realized that a major part of the page was full of sickening porn content. Surely, I had to back off at lighting speed: no negotiations. Things like these and many others are what battle ones fear and love of God and his words in daily life.

God bless.

To overcome, we need God's grace; and God gives grace to the humble. So if we're are humble we shall get grace to overcome:

Harshirama:
I've never seen any body preaching the gospel of grace justify sin. A born again person already has a new nature. He is now instructed to walk in the spirit so he does not fulfill the desire of the flesh. Funny enough, people who don't preach the gospel of grace still walk in sin.

The problem is a strong lack of emphasis on "obedience" to Jesus' Words in the new testament. Take Matthew chap. 5, 6 and 7 for instance, then check how many preach "practical obedience" to the words there.

Peace with you.

shadeyinka:
Did I write anything contrary to what you've just said above especially the @bolded

If there is any objection I have, it's about labelling the justification of sin by "Christians" as adherents of "Gospel of the gospel Grace". The justification of sin by "Christians" isn't the gospel of grace but a gospel of deception. How can a person claim he is born again without a CHANGE in nature? How can a person claim he is of Christ yet justifying SIN? How can a new creature exhibit old CHARACTERS?

Indeed, the bottom line is that the LORD knows those who are His.

A true disciple is known by continuing in the words of Christ. Anyone who turns back has never known Christ.

John 8:31:
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;"

1Jn 2:19:
"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."

So bro, I argue Not with you. I only stated what the TRUE gospel of grace mean. It is certainly NOT a licence to sin. It is a knowing that Christ died to save whoever will receive Him. It is the work done by Christ not me. I am not saved by my effort as it was Christ who died for an unworthy fellow like me and gave me His spirit by which I am transformed into a NEW creature who is NOT comfortable with SIN and who lives to please Him who paid the most costly price to purchase my soul.

Anyone who claims to be of Christ yet justifying sin and immorality is an agent of satan!

Okay. Just that your first line tends to seem that I also don't believe in grace (finished work of Christ by faith, not by man).

Thanks.

In passing:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

[10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

The above still doesn't change the fact that by GRACE we are saved!
Eph 2:8-9:
"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

But the second part of it show us WHY we were saved
Eph 2:10:
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them."

We were saved to do Good Works according to the rule of God in righteousness.

2Tim 2:5:
"And if a person competes as an athlete, he is not awarded the victor’s crown unless he competes according to the rules."

The Lord knows those who are His: let fake Christians continue to justify immorality!
2Tim 2:19:
"Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

Friend, did you really get the main point or you just wanted to argue?

The thing is the gospel of Grace without Truth (obedience to the Words of Jesus) is a great deception of many a great Pastor and Church, leading millions to hell. That's the point.

I never said grace was out of it.

Hence:
*The Gospel = Grace + Truth (obedience) John 1:14,17

A Gospel without Truth but grace = Worldly Christianity

A Gospel without grace but truth = Legalism, Phariseesism (life under the law).

THE TWO MUST GO TOGETHER to be Balanced or Perfect, not otherwise.

Peace with you.
