Xpset: you are very stupi.d and useless to your family. your brain must be mixed with oil

sammy329: Let begin to look at the behaviour, life styles and character of these pastors. Because Jesus said BY THEIR FRUIT U SHALL KNOW THEM

sammy329: Pls note something only GOD is 100% sure of everything.

striktlymi: Good evening,

Are you guys showing us a typical example of what it means to 'fight online'?

fratochi: . My brother, if you are a good student of the history of african traditions, you will observe that most if not all of them are products of wickedness, emanating from the idol worship of one god or goddess, so when you say this song was from this traditional or that tradition you also make efforts to trace the roots/source of the said tradition because indeed 'EVERYTHING THING HAS A SOURCE', God help us!

pukkagroup: MUST OF YOU RUNNING YOUR MOUTHS HERE DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE ABIA STATE IS...T A HAS LAID A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR ABIA AND NOBODY TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH....SO FAR T A IS THE BEST...MOST OF YOU TALK OU OF BAD BELLE...

poopli: Black people are the worst race of people.

black people look like animals, behave like animals and so undeveloped

God could have created me white but decided to create me black

If God really created me, then he really made a silly mistake.

I never asked for life and i hate God for creating me, but more especially, i hate God for creating me Black.

I will never forgive God for that.

He can take his stupid life away from me, i dont care and i dont want to live the stupid world he created anymore.

I will not kill myself though, i am stronger than that

But if God created me, then i hate him for creating me.

obadiah777: STRONG BIBLE SCHOLARS ? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?

plappville: A man who claim to be a prophet of God can be this cruel....

Image123: oh you saw it too! in all things, i give thanks to God.

Image123: an hypocrite just typed ETERNAL judgment and denied it in the next sentence. Did anybody see that?

Image123: yada yada, your spinning nonsense. kunle was lying on me, how you can't see that is well, it's you. Only Ubenedictus was humble enough to acknowledge that.

frosbel: he is now stalking me all over this forum, but I forgive him

Image123: you have a problem. what debo said is what I've been saying all through the thread, but since Image123 is the one saying it, you and your folks must oppose it. I hope debo can share his view on hell and Sheol, perhaps you'll see then. bigoted fellows

debosky: I don't support all this 'read Greek and read Hebrew' business - yes it's good to do that if you are in doubt, but the widely used translations are, in the main, all sufficiently accurate for you not to be misled.

Those that overly harp on concordances, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and the like are, in my view, exhibiting a form of Christian intellectual elitism or superiority. You don't need to read the original Greek to know that Jesus fasted for 40 days, or that he died on the cross and rose on the third day, or that the NT says God loves a cheerful giver.

The issue here is that Christians need to understand the fundamental elements of faith and build from there. If you don't build up knowledge on foundation elements of faith, you are likely to be thrown off or mix up your own desires with what the Word is saying.

Let me give an example - if your (sinful nature's desire is to get rich, you may interpret the word (exclusively) as a tool to get rich. However if you understand that earthly wealth, while good, is a secondary concern, you will be able to view scripture on wealth in the right perspective.

Secondly, we must resist the temptation to go down rat holes that don't edify or really bring any change of heart - the risk is that those things then get elevated above the fundamental truths and become stumbling blocks.

Take for example this argument about Sheol/Hades/Hell - of what real value is it to Christians? To be able to say 'I am right and you are wrong?' Knowing the root word of Hell does not take you to heaven, neither does it help you live a life more like Christ.

akaazua: Mat:5:28-30 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

IF HELL IS NOT A PLACE OF TORMENT, JESUS WILL BE SO SERIOUS LIKE THIS.

Re:14:11: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Re:20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.[color=#990000][/color]

PLS, BE OBJECTIVE BROTHER.
