KDK:

A friend of mine asked a question,

If MR A has 230 sins before he gave his life to christ, then at being born again, he is forgiven and as such, the sin count goes to zero.

Now if Mr A backslides, will God count Mr A's sin from 230 hence going to 231 (plus the new one) or will God just count it from 1 like a fresh sinner.

True christians in the house please help. Atheist, U can do gud by staying away. Tanx.

@KDK

The latter (i.e. count from 1 like a fresh sinner)

old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" -  2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

You can tell a lot about a person when you see the kind of music they listen to, because it is what you feed your soul that it will grow on.

FL Gators:

@all
thanks. . . .

LOL, your question reminds me of the spirit possession that Zora Neale Hurston wrote about lol.
Is the spirit leading me? I don't know.

"It" refers to my mind's conciousness. . . .thoughts about my actions. I'm just thinking, if I'm to become a Christian, some things are going to have to change. Just like you can't be a CEO and dress like a hobo.

You see, those are the kind of gospel music I'd rather not focus about.

The video is more focused on showcasing material possession than Gospel Inspiration itself. It's like I'm watching another Ludacris video.

well not exactly.

Some people might be more focused on the beat, than the words of the song. While others might be more focused on the words.

When I listen to the likes of Yolanda Adams, I really listen to the words (they have no beats at all, if you noticed lol).

As they're inspiring and brilliantly constructed. When I listen to the likes of Lil Wayne/Usher, I'm more into the beats.

Sometimes I dont even know what they're singing about.

@Ileke-Idi/FL Gators

GBAM!

Yeah, appreciating the creativities, the message, the lyrical contents, relevance, the deliveries, the beats & hooks, the talent, arrangements etc

and wondering why these arent translated into Gospel genres

JeSoul's music is a rare exception though . . .

Hers is among the few and far in between that merits the status that has ticks in all the boxes

No offenise as the infamous Mr Cork would say

Pweety4me:

[color=#550077]I don't mean or want to sound funny, ignorant or rude

but there are quite a few things questionable about the way they do things,

or let say things i don't quite understand about the way they do their things.

My first question, Why are there no white people who conduct white garment church? is 'white garment' really from God?

or it was man-made by the nigerians?

I mean i don't know any other country besides nigerians that do white-garment.

Also all the things that they use during their services, such as, leaves, perfume e.t.c

i mean they say they mean different things & are for santification or some sort of prayer. . . but are these things of the bible?

I mean as a christian, or a pastor of a church u do conduct things according to the words written in the bible?

so shouldn't we see Gods teachings/ways being practised in the church?

Plse some1 should enlighten me here, i don't want any battles just some insight abeg[/color]

@Pweety4me

Naija is still lagging behind, caught up in catching up . . .

Oyinbo (i.e. white people) have turned the corner on this "white garment" idiosyncrasy and gave it up for the we-know-whos

The reason there are no "white people who conduct white garment church" now, is because if there is, it would be labelled a cult and rightly so

No offenise, as the infamous Mr Cork would say

there are some things that are for God , and there some for man

PS: My sister I dey ooo, just doing a drive by posting 

JeSoul:
 
Absolutely spot on.

@poster,

its really as simple as that.

There are 'gospel' music that you should not listen to, and there are 'secular' music that are an absolute blessing to the spirit/soul.

Just because its labeled 'gospel' doesn't mean its good

As you get more and more mature in Christ and tuned in to the Holy Spirit,

you'll be able to tell the difference btw what you should/shouldn't listen to, watch on tv, places to go etc.

All in all, when judging about a piece of music, the general criteria I personally use are these:

1- does this music glorify/honor God (or godly principles)?
2- does this music edify my heart, spirit or does it inspire me? what kinds of thoughts, emotions does it evoke in my mind while I listen to it?

You can tell a lot about a person when you see the kind of music they listen to, because it is what you feed your soul that it will grow on.

Watched this the other day but I dont know . . .

^i asked what's to be done when say, for example, someone struggled for a while, and in the face of difficulty,

eventually made something of their lives. Only to encounter others who then begin to hate on him for no other reason than

because he seems to be doing better than what they expected, or better than they themselve[/b]s.

now, some people [not everybody] made conscious decisions to follow lifestyles which do not give them the kind of successful outcome they want for themselves.

[b]how is the first guy to handle the bitterness and envy coming from the second.

@^^^

Water over duck's back approach. Nah, just fooling about

With the measure of grace first guy has, love the second guy, pray for the second guy . . .

and latch on strongly to these two verses which if a "christian" the first guy is likely familiar with

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,

and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" - Matt 5:44 KJV

"But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you," - Luke 6:27

If there is constant strife, then first guy might want to consider the Abraham-Lot separate approach 

LoveKing:

Why Do Animals Die? Did Eve Feed Them The Apple Too?

Please i want to know why Animals die if Humans also die.

I need a good rational explanation. thanks.

@LoveKing

Puting the record straight, it wasnt an apple. That is a myth

It was the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Death which was originally dormant was activated right across board when Adam & Eve ate the fruit

That simply, is why animals die

No. Eve didnt feed the animals the fruit

Hope it helps . . .

@Aunty Nuella:



You're very funny. So funny that its no longer funny

Firstly, please name 2 or 3 people you know who live just 1 feet UNDER the ground!

Note I did not say in caves or under Camp David or in bomb shelters but UNDER earth.

So when Christ descended into the "lower" parts, how low do you think He had to go?   And was it physically?

The phrase "Above all heavens" proves the point - is above heaven a physical location anyway? So why do you insist lower parts must be physical?

Lazarus was REAL?   Please tell us when he lived and where?

@e36991:

Help!! This class needs someone more patient, friendly and "trusted". Nuke is an enemy so . . . [size=5pt]who wants to listen to enemies
[/size]

@nuclearboy

Na only prosperity teachings churches dey teach nowadays naa

Oops! Who said that?!! 

nuella2:

Eph 4:8-10

[8] Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

[9] (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth ?

[10] He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) KJV

Is this a parable too?

The story about Lazarus was not a parable, it was a real incidence.

@nuella2

Hope you arent mixing this Lazarus with the other Lazarus (i.e. Mary and Martha's brother) ooo

The former is a parable and the latter, sure was a real incidence

The latter was in the tomb for 4 days. It cant get more real than that 

Lets ask you a question whilst Lazarus and tombs are here and fresh in the mind

Why didnt Jesus spend more than 3 days in the tomb?

nuclearboy:
Exactmente!

This was a fable used to drive home an understanding

but here we see it turned into doctrine by people who would know better if they spent more time on their knees and with God in study rather than under hair dryers.

Abraham's Bosom refers to as it were, the "hope of the saints" after their earthly sojourn.

That's why his ancestors could be in such a place and its why I set that trap for Aunty earlier but she missed the bait.

Interesting (and funny and MOST OF ALL illuminating of their understanding) though that some people think dead people climbed into someone's bosoms and lived there after they died.

Wetin person no go see/hear

@nuclearboy

"Mo beri" literally mean "I throwe salute. I am at, Atten-SHUN!!!. Saluting"

Bosom! Papaya!!

Aah!!! I no fit laff ooo!!!  

OK on a sober note now

Seriously John 13:23 is the ko-ko

Cognitive understanding of "Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved." - John 13:23 KJV helps

Why Abraham's bosom? The audience are Jews, seed of Abraham

Abraham believed the plan and/or idea albeit after 7 persuasions. He looked forward to it and was privileged to see the day and rejoice

The same John that leaned on Jesus' bosom revealed this in John 8:56

Abel, Enoch Noah etc had a different assurance or declaration

JeSoul:

Just said eerie with a pinch of salt and compared NIV with Wikipedia after the stab at KJV

(i.e. "Ok , before you use your king James to condemn me to hell"

Wondered though whether when it was said ". . . done my studies before I put that there . . . " he did same studies on NIV too 

petres_007:

kai! I just dey realise dis NIV thingy o 

@donnie,

Still awaiting your response on the "Jesus went to hell" story. Just book, chapter and verse will do.

petres_007:

Donnie,

Thanks for your response. But that passage says nowhere that Jesus went to hell.

Like Nuke pointed out, it says clearly where those fellows came from - their graves. Leaves no room for any kind of speculation.

And by the way, that wasn't the verse I was expecting you to throw at me.

Its even more "suggestive" than this passage you've quoted. I'll leave you to figure out which one. 

donnie:

^^Got ya!

Luke 16:19-31

[19]There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
^[20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
[21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
[22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
[23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
[25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
[26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
[27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
[28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
[29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
[30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
[31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

@ ^^^

Please pardon this party pooper 

and mind the cat flung into the chicken coop 

This is a parable (i.e. Luke 16:19-31) and not a real event

and we all know what parables are (i.e. they are stories told to teach a moral or religious lesson)

Now compare that verse (i.e. Luke 16:22-23) with John 13:23 to understand

"Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved." - John 13:23 KJV

Have you ever questioned and wondered what it meant that "John leant on Jesus's bosom" before?

Why did John lean, particularly on Jesus' bosom?

What is wrong with leaning on Jesus' shoulder?

Why did he prefer leaning on Jesus' bosom?

Why was it recorded that he leant on Jesus' bosom?

What was he hoping to gain from leaning on Jesus' bosom?

Understanding John 13:23 helps deciphering Luke 16:19-31 and especially what transpired in Luke 16:22-23

It doesnt stop there, it reveals also how John had his profound revelation and why he was given guardianship of Jesus' mother

Enigma:

No can do.

@Enigma

Bummer. Whats the world come to eh?

O ye of little faith 

Enigma:

^^^ Naah, there is nothing to "cop on".

I actually know where you are going but I am pushing you to be explicit so there is no issue of presupposition.

Come out with it and get on with it.

@Enigma

Try me . . . Spill the beans

I'll own up if what you've imagined was where I was or heading

Trust me. Gentleman's agreement.

Enigma:

I mean this thing is just ridiculous.

OK so Jesus was born like any other man ---- of a man's seed?

Why was he born of a virgin?

So, even though He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, he was still dead in his spirit until he became "born again"?

So even when/after the Holy Spirit descended om Him in bodily form at His baptism, he was still dead in His spirit --- until He became "born again"?

So even at the transfiguration, He was still dead in His spirit?

So the Jesus who went on the cross was a man "dead in His spirit"?

So the Spirit that he committed into the hands of God was a dead spirit?

Enigma:

^^^ As with my previous answer -----

if you have an explanation of the difference between Jesus and Christ, do provide it; same with your myrrh and frankincense point.

@Enigma

Ah! Not so fast mate . . .

"Won nla obe gbigbona beyen" literally slow and steadily

No, no, no. No.

1) " . . . so Jesus was born like any other man ---- of a man's seed?" - No!

6) "So the Jesus who went on the cross was a man "dead in His spirit"?" - No! and No to #s 2-5 as well

Its not so much a case of difference but more of a crucial distinction actually

Another pointer. Do you recall what the wages of sin is?

You might want to sleep on this. I anticipate that by dawn you'll cop on . . .

Enigma:

^^^ Thanks for "holding my hand" etc etc but I dont think I need it.

With regard to the two passages that you quote, do provide your own interpretation if you wish.

I don't see how either suggests that Jesus was born again or needed to be born again;

or even that he was dead in his spirit for all of his 33 years until he became "born again". (Edited)

@Enigma

I know you'll soon suss it out later which is why I skirted all over the place with those references (i.e. those two verses and the other three)

You didnt follow up with my question on the corollation between Jesus and Christ though?

No biggie, I'll throw in another mix then . . .

What is frankincense and myrrh used for?

Remember the woman that rubbed Jesus with oil using her hair?

PS: Ha! Omo you no go jab tomorrow?

Enigma:

Meanwhile, as I can't resist this any longer, let us examine the implication of the 'Jesus was born again' argument made on this thread.

1. Jesus was a born again man


2. And this is what the same poster says it means to be "born again"


3. Therefore, according to this sacrilegious reasoning:

Since Jesus was a born again man it means

a. Jesus was dead in his spirit until he became born again

b. Jesus had a new nature and life in the human spirit when/after he became born again

c. Jesus only received eternal life after he was born again; this particular Jesus is not a "proper" eternal Jesus.

Very very clever thinking indeed ---- NOT!

@Enigma

I'll hold your hand, lead you a bit, then let go, step aside and leave you to follow through all by yourself:

^6b. . . she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat

⁷And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] unclothed; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons

¹⁰And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself. - Gen 3:6-7;10 KJV

and

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? - Matthew 27:46 KJV

1) What transpired in both verses?

2) What caused the incident or situation that transpired in #1 above?

2b) Does Isaiah 53:5, Romans 4:25 and Hebrews 9:28 help?

3) What is the corollation between Jesus and Christ? Understanding the crucial distinction helps 

donnie:

I had done my studies before I put that there. . . and I did not think you will ignore that.

Ok , before you use your king James to condemn me to hell

Here is the NIV rendering:

Luke 23:43-
Jesus answered him, 'I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise'.

I guess I can safely move the coma now?

Jesus answered him, 'I tell you the truth today, you will be with me in paradise'.

Remember that  no Greek MSS had punctuation of any kind until the 9th century and then it was only a dot in the middle of the line separating each word. All punctuation, therefore, rests upon human authority.  This is a statement of fact. 

The Greek reads, "Verily to thee I say, Today with Me thou shalt be in paradise."

Again, that can be rendered as:

"Verily to thee I say Today, with Me thou shalt be in paradise."

My Question Is Where Did The Stories In The Bible Come From?

I bet that most of you all have been deceived by the europeans and not realize that everything has an origin, especially the stories in the bible.

mabell:

There were true live events and not mere stories

@Ify27

As Mabell rightly responded (i.e. from true live events) and also from parables (i.e. simple stories to illustrate a moral point or religious lesson)

"Deceived by the europeans"?. You wished or hoped

FYI, the blackman (i.e. an African) heard, accepted & received the Gospel earlier than the Europeans (i.e. before the "missionaries coming to Africa" shenanigan)

Check out Simeon in the below verse (i.e. Acts 13:1)

---

---

"Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria

were Barnabas, Simeon (called "the black man"), Lucius (from Cyrene), Manaen (the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul. - Acts 13:1 NLT

OR

"Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger,

and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul - Acts 13:1 KJV"

---

---

In Acts 13:1, where the disciples were first called Christians (i.e. in the early church ) note that there was a black man present

Incidentally this is the only time in the NT that a person is been referred to by virtue of color, complexion or skin tone

Why was this done this way? (i.e. why the insertion of or reference to color, complexion or skin tone)

Obviously is/was in anticipation of assertions like this and to refute (i.e. pre-empt) the idea that this is a "white man's religion"

This is all inclusive. For all and everyone - No holds barred.

There are no rules of color. Color, complexion, skintone etc does not come into play

Which is why, He told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone ^{- Mark 16:15}

I like what you are doing . . .

From then on Jesus began to preach, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near. - Matthew 4:17

"The time promised by God has come at last!" he announced. "The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!" - Mark 1:15

By the way in addition to John 3:3 and John 3:5,

please throw the below verses (i.e. Luke 17:20-21; Acts 14:21-22 NLT) in the mix too when continuing your explanation but without obfuscating

²⁰One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?"

[color=#CD0000]Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God can't be detected by visible signs[/color]

²¹[color=#CD0000]You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you[/color]." - Luke 17:20-21 NLT

²¹After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia,

²²where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith,

reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God - Acts 14:21-22 NLT

How blessed are you whenever people hate you, avoid you, insult you, and slander you because of the Son of Man!

"Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
