Well I'm not a pastor or Priest, I've left that path but then I must task you since you're a Christian to read the scriptures.

There are several places where wisdom and tact was encouraged and recommended.

I'll give you one, kindly read Luke 16:1-13.

The point is that the new laws of God is written in our hearts, you know that which is injurious to the company and must desist from it.

However, you must be careful not to over do it.

For instance I don't see anything wrong with receipt of tips, NB: I didn't say request.

God bless you

this is not wisdom or tact. This is sinning by lying. I don't how you guys feel comfortable like this

Kobojunkie:
Offend God in what particular way? Why would you think God is bothered by you and your life choices??

look at the stupid questions you are asking. She said is offending God by lying and you are saying rubbish. You are worst than helinues and other atheist out there

helinues:
Not my take but the reality.

Israelites conquered the land? Unoccupied lands or lands that people are already there. When did God turn to a real estate agent that was sharing land to people anyhow?

well that's your reality

tete7000:
It was not stated that he humiliated him, infact he never stopped from eating from the scraps from his table. His sin was that he could help but didn't. He was indifferent to the plight of Lazarus. Read Mat. 25

Then they will also answer him, saying: 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he shall respond to them by saying: 'Amen I say to you, whenever you did not do it to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.' And these shall go into eternal punishment, but the just shall go into eternal life."
Matthew 25:44‭-‬46

so he should be eating from the scraps of the table. When you have everything as a rich man

helinues:
Religion got so many things wrong in the past reason why they were attacking those who first claimed the earth wasn't flat but round.

The lake of fire is simply volcanic eruption. The judgement abi na sentenced day na just an imagination tale

well that's your take.

helinues:
The lake of fire is simply volcanic eruption

what you don't believe in don't say. Op, before judgement, those that have died in death and those that are in hell will be cast into the lake of fire. Hell is not the lake of fire. In judgement, everyone that fall short will be cast from hell to the lake of fire

timota:
I thought u wanted to learn,so angel Michael is under ur feet,in that case,I know u people don't read the bible u only know from what ur pastor tell u,when the bible in two places says that God has made man a little lower than angels u are finding what to twist, the bible first made known ur position on respect to angels before all things being under the feet of man

is that not what the Bible says. Read verse 8 na. You quoted HEB 2:7. And is written in verse 8 that everything is under the feet of man. And not only that. That they subjected to man and you are refuting it.

timota:
Just to clear ur curiosity, Heb 2:7 and psalm 8:4-5,says for You have made man a little lower than angels,pls state where the bible says that man is higher than angels,
2.Angels are not Mans messenger, They are Gods messenger.

when you read the bible, read to the end. In that same heb 2 in verse 8 the bible says he has put all things in subjection under the feet of man. All things are under the feet of man including the angels. And the Bible uses the word subjection. So that means that even the angels are under the control of man

Kobojunkie:
How do you do that?

that is how I do that

Kobojunkie:
You don't have to resort to this at all. Simply show by way of scripture how you can obtain righteousness with the help of grace. Simple!

I obtain the righteousness of God through the grace I have in the Lord Jesus Christ

Kobojunkie:
Righteousness is by way of Holiness plus good works, and the grace of God(Eternal Life) does not automatically bestow that on anyone.

you are totally confused. Only you believe those junks

Kobojunkie:
When Jesus Christ commanded His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and God's righteousness, in order that all these things — the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) — can be added to them by God, do you suppose that Jesus Christ was being insensible?

When Jesus Christ urged His followers to become Holy even as the Father in Heaven is Holy, did you resolve there that Jesus Christ was simply being unreasonable?

There are tasks you are meant to carry out in order to reach each level set by God, the same way that those before you did. So, I am not certain why you think you can coast by while the others couldn't.

Are you telling me that I can't by the grace of God live a righteous life.

Kobojunkie:
But God's righteousness is not lived by the grace of God. See how your fruits continue to show what you really are?

if is not lived by the grace of God, how do we live the righteousness of God. Is it by our strength.

Kobojunkie:
You don't need to make me believe you. Your fruits alone will tell whether you know God or not. All, I am saying is that this is part of what Jesus Christ said you must be willing to submit to and obey if you are attempting to become one of His.

I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. By the grace of God, am living a righteous life. What you believe is wrong. Change your mind

Kobojunkie:
I recommend you are fully aware of some of the costs of choosing to become born-again.
https://www.nairaland.com/7110397/gospel-minddump/3#122971106

have told you this is what I believe. This is what I know. It is you that fully aware of the cost of your born again

Kobojunkie:
You accept and obey His teachings and commandments same way Noah, Abraham, Enoch and all the others did without having religion or any related idea hanging over their heads.

how did Noah Abraham accept and obey the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ

Kobojunkie:
They are just followers of Jesus Christ.

Christians are those who belong to the religion of Christianity, a religion founded on doctrines and traditions of men --- lies-- which Jesus Christ clearly warned His followers to steer clear of in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13. God never gave men religion. What He instead did was offer men citizenship in His Nation with a mandate that they each obey His Constitutional Law in order to become righteous citizens in His Kingdom/Country.

they are called Christians.

Kobojunkiee:
I think instead you should investigate the Gospel for yourself. Count the cost to be sure it is worth it at this point. If after spending so many years in religious delusion you have nothing to show for it except lies and delusion. Don't you think it best to count the cost at this point — Luke 14 vs 25 - 33. When you decide that He is worth it, and you are ready to abandon all the lies you have been fed about Him and HIs Truth, then you can approach Him directly for what you need.

you are full of yourself abi. Keep deceiving yourself

Kobojunkiee:
The Truth of God is Jesus Christ. if you need me to show Him to you then I am not able to help you at all.

you ask me yesterday if I had a cross. I don't have . So I do I go about it

Kobojunkiee:
Look, for some years now, I have tried to make it clear to you that your religious delusion does not replace or give you a shortcut around submission and obedience to Jesus Christ. I am at least willing to accept at this point that Jesus Christ is nothing more than a joke to you and you relish trading lies using His name with your religious brothers and sisters.

show me the truth.

Kobojunkiee:
I don't have a way so I can't help you there! The one whose way you rejected told you that He is the way to be born-again.

Kobo you are not replying. Wetin happened now. Abi you don run

Kobojunkiee:
I don't have a way so I can't help you there! The one whose way you rejected told you that He is the way to be born-again.

ok show that way. This is not hard now. Preach to me from those bible verses you use to quote.

Kobojunkiee:
1. You claimed you were already born-again and that was that. Stop lying!

I want to be born again your own way. I don't want to believe my pastor and mog. So you show me how I can go about it

Kobojunkiee:
When you outrightly denounce the Truth as declared by Jesus Christ in order to assert in its place the delusions fed to you by your pastors and mogs, what do you think that means as far as the god you serve?

in the other thread I ask how can I become born again according to you, you didn't tell me. Now you are saying am denouncing the truth. Tell me how to become born again

Tboy222:
All we have to do is to pray for him thanks and. God bless you.

that guy don't need prayers. Those atheist in nl are better than him

Kobojunkiee:
I was not shocked by your reaction to all Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10 vs 34 - 38, you know why? Because you don't come off at all as someone who actually cares for or loves Jesus Christ. Rather you come off as a religious hippie and nothing more. If only you would replace the mentions of God and Jesus Christ with mentions of your pastors and mogs instead, you would maybe look much better than you do now.

There is no law against you directly worshipping your pastors and mogs. God will not be offended by you if you do so. It is just that the deceitful way you lot go about it is irritating and pitches you directly against God who warned that none teach lies using His name.

did I tell you I worship my pastor or mog. You just talk anyhow. You have issues. Check yourself

Kobojunkiee:
My problem? Scripture says you should first remove the log in your eyes before you go picking at the speck in the eyes of another, so you can see clearly at least to do so. I think you need to address the issue which primarily plagues you at this time and worry less about me and my supposed problems for the time being.

it is you that have issues to be addressed. All this things you believe in is wrong.

Tboy222:
Some of us are not certain about how The Lord speaks to us.

We want to hear God verbatim,but mostly it is not always the case.

God can speak to us through different medium, through his Word,through the voices of others,through signboards, numbers, our thoughts,telecommunication gadgets,.... Etc

But one certain way to be sure God is speaking to you is that there is always a repetition.

When God wants you to do something or take a step you hear that same command from different voices or people.

You will hear the same thing even if their narratives might be different you hear it from different sources, but they always tend to arrive at the same conclusion.

That is a sign God is speaking to you.

A lot of us always expect God to answer our prayers immediately ,but no God Almighty always works in stages.

God is a tester,Just Like He tested Abraham in the book of Genesis 22:2 " And He said take now thine son Isaac whom thou lovest and offer Him as a burnt offering upon one the mountains which I shall tell thee off."

The Lord Here tested Abraham,that was not the first test He had initially asked Him to leave the land of His Fathers.

The Book of Genesis 12: 1-2 says " And the Lord said to Abram Get thee out of thy country
And from thy Kindred, and from thy Father's land into a land I will show thee."

Verse 2 "And I will make thee a great nation,And I will bless thee,and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing."

Now Abraham had to pass the test by taking a step of faith, He also passed the test of faith when He was promised a son Isaac at His Old age. (Romans 4:18-21)

" Who against hope believed in hope,that He might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken,so shall thy seed be."

Verse19 "And being not weak in faith,He considerd not His own body now dead,when He was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

Verse 20 " He staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief,but was strong in faith giving glory to God."

Verse 21 " And being fully persuaded that,what He had promised,He was also able to perform."

So you see here Abraham had to pass different stages or levels of what I call a Faith test in order to achieve His promise.

So most times before God gives us something He has promised He has to take us through different stages or different levels of Faith test.

It is like taking an exam where you have to move from one stage to the next class.

If God had promised you a Child,a promotion at work, a spouse, financial freedom ,or a ministry you will have to undertake different levels of Faith test to determine if you will be able to handle or simply if you will still be faithful after receiving the promise.


What should be your response to God's instructions



Now what should be your response

(1) God steps are gradual and of different levels we just have to move or stay ln faith according to the instructions received and ask God to speak directly into our hearts when we are not sure of if we lack the resources to move forward.

(2) Put God's will first

(3) Speak the Word out ,Speak out The promises out despite the circumstances,fear, anxiety, rejection, suffering,and hopeless state or stagnation you feel.

(4) Always thank God in advance for showing up and being right on time.

If you are yet to give your life to Jesus Christ, I am not just talking about believing Jesus Christ exist or Is the Son of God. ( James 2:19) "Thou believest that there is one God thou doest well, the devil's also believe and trembles."

So believing Jesus Christ is real,or being a choirister, choir member, or even a pastor does not qualify you for Heaven.

What qualifies you is Holiness and Righteousness before God. ( Hebrews 12:14) " Follow peace with all men and Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord."

To live a life of Holiness you have to do only one thing that qualifies everyone for the race to Heaven. Salvation from Sin is paramount and necessary for anyone who wants to make Heaven.

The Book of Romans 3:23 puts it clearly " For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

The Book of Romans 3:10 states " There is none righteous no not one"

So I urge you to go down on your knees and humbly and sincerely ask Jesus Christ to forgive you off all your past deeds. Tell Him you are sorry and ask Him to wash you with His precious blood. Ask Him to give you the grace and power to overcome temptations and to continue in His Word.

The Bible states it in proverbs 28:13 " He that covereth His sin shall not prosper but whosoever confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."

Congratulations your name has been written in the Lambs Book of Life,you are now a joint heir of the Kingdom of God.

Get a Bible read and pray daily morning and evening and at spare times. Look for a Bible believing Church where Jesus Christ is the center of the message alongside Holiness and Righteousness.

thanks for the write up. Don't let Kobo discourage you. He sent from the kingdom of darkness

Christ embassy

Kobojunkiee:
You people do not change. Like Jesus Christ said, you are stuck in your many delusions and you can't even help yourselves anymore.

Jesus Christ never said He came to help you with the situation in your life so why in the world would you go around lying to people that He did for crying out loud?

guy your problem plenty. Abeg let others read the thread and be bless. Thank have a good day

Kobojunkiee:
1. God says. "trust and obey me." You instead advise individuals to ponder and believe the word to what end though? So they can say more meaningless prayers to God who makes it abundantly clear to all that He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous?

so how do I advice them to do contrary. So meditating in the bible and believing it is not trusting the bible again. Or what your own definition of trust. Because if someone could read and believe it enough to apply it to the situations of his life, I don't know what else to call it down trust. Kobo change. When only you believe that show it is wrong. There is no body in nl that supports your idea. Don't you think is wrong change

Kobojunkiee:
It is right there in John 3 vs 1 - 21 & John 4 vs 2 - 18

John chapter 3 talks about Nicodemus and John 4 talks about the Samaritan woman. So how can one be born again according to you.
