Deicide:You know my curiosity? How does it feel like to live without Hope? It must be stiflling. |
correctguy101:You mean you don't acknowledge the scriptures i posted as scriptures? correctguy101:But isn't this thread about my God tho? I thought this Op accuses us the Christians and our God of judging others? Pls how many of these other religions you guys keep bringing up, talks of judgement on the last day? I quoted scriptures here because this thread is abt the Christian God, not abt your other religions. correctguy101:Yes, you faced me, but let that lie. We and all these your other religions will not wait too long to find out who indeed is an infidel, shall we? In one hundred years from today, most of us living in this generation wld have found out if the scriptures i quoted were true or i'm just being bigotry. Don't worry sir. As a matter of fact, Some will find out before tomorrow breaks, for some of us shall not wake from our sleep tomorrow. correctguy101:Of course i do. But you see, a Curse causeless shall not stand. If the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is wrong, let me be wrong, but if they are wrong, it's left for us to die and find out. But, i stand or sink with Jesus. When i die and discover He was not what He said He was, then, i will gladly be were He'll be. I'd rather be with Him, that without Him. I know who i was without Him in the past, and i know who i am right now that i am with Him. I do not regret knowing Him now So let the heathens curse me all they like. correctguy101:Yes. It's understandable for the head to feel it is better than hand, and the leg to feel it's better than the buttocks, but they'll understand better when they all meet their master. The Church is the Body of Christ, and the body is divided into soooo many parts. We are actually not divided, we just don't know it yet. Every one of us believes God created the Universe, we all believe Abraham and his descendants are the Israelites. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, that Jesus was born of a virgin, and that He was the Son of God. We all believe He died for the Sins of Man, and on the third day He was raised back to Life. He ascended into Heaven, We are all expecting Him to come back. Anyone who does not believe this, is a pagan, not a Christian. correctguy101:Yeah. But, yet again, it won't be too long before you find out. You study yourself and your environment, interesting. Maybe you shd study how you choose your gender, race, parentage, siblings. How you choose the day and were you were born. Study what js causing you to age. Why you can't stop time, Why poeple die. Why no matter what you do, you'd soon die. You were not consulted before you came here, or, were you? You won't be consulted when you be taken out in death. Oh wait!!!!. You are Life itself. You gave yourself life, you can also sustain it. I wish i knew your birth name so i'd look for you when we both die. It'll be interesting to have this discussion on the other side. |
Deicide:But you are, that's why you want to find out how many atheists are also. You want to make sure you're not alone. |
OLAADEGBU:Dey tin tire me. Besides, have they forgotten that the original Israelites were the descendants of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees, in Mesopotamia? were the Mesopotamians black skinned? What is wrong with these racist black people? |
paxonel:That, they can't manage. |
paxonel:This will be the last i will respond to this, so whatever you believe is right, do. When you stand before your God this scripture shall come alive. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 And the quality of each person's work will be seen when the Day of Christ exposes it. For on that Day fire will reveal everyone's work; the fire will test it and show its real quality. If what was built on the foundation survives the fire, the builder will receive a reward. But if your work is burnt up, then you will lose it; but you yourself will be saved, as if you had escaped through the fire. That said. Fornication and adultery are sexual immortalities committed by different categories of people. One inside marriage, one outside. But since you believe you can have sex with a woman you are not married to and it's not fornication, then, by all means enjoy. paxonel:Believe it or not. If you are not married and you have sex, you have committed fornication. If you are married and have sex with someone outside of your marriage, you've committed adultery, no more, no less. paxonel:No, you are the one who doesn't know, because you don't even accept the sin of fornication as sin. Fornication or adultery is seen by the Lord as a terrible sin becos you sin double sins when you commit them. You sin against yourself and against God. Do you even understand what that means? Do you know what the DIVINE DESIGN is? And do you know how you violate it? paxonel:Yes, some of the translations are confused becos you are right. Hahahahahahahaha. LWkm. paxonel:My dear, i am an evangelical, that means, i read KJV almost only. But recently, i discovered that if i read King James alone, i will not get a deeper understand of what the Holy Spirit is saying to me, so began checking other translations to see how the interprete a verse, and i saw that i misunderstood certain verses in King James. It was there all along, but, i saw it differently. Let's take this commonly quoted verse for example. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew:11:12 What does this verse seems to be saying? Who are the violent meant here? Can Jesus teach us to turn the other cheek, yet tell us to take things violently by force? Are we misunderstanding that scripture? Now, lets look at other translations maybe we can see. Good News Translation Matthew 11:12 From the time John preached his message until this very day the Kingdom of heaven has suffered violent attacks, and violent men try to seize it. Matthew 11:12 Amplified Bible (AMP) 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize The readeres of King Janes alone have totally misunderstood this scripture and has taught error. Christians have believed that they are the violent in that scripture and instead of leaving vengeance to the Lord as He said, has taken to fight one anothere instead of loving each other. Bros, until i read another version, i prayed violent prayers, i believed i was right because the Bible said so, but, the violent in that scripture refers to those who want to take down the pillars of the Church. They are the ones Jesus said, will not prevail against the Church. The uninformed so-called deliverance ministers have used this scripture wrongly and turned peaceful Christians to hateful, bitter vengeful murderers in their intentions, as opposed to what Jesus taught, all becos a scripture was misunderstood. READ OTHER TRANSLATIONS TOO. |
jesusjnr:Jesus gave His life for Love, but people are blindsided and are fighting for Self. Who is bigger and better. |
kimco:I choose to debate? Well, this makes sense. You want to win so you refuse to see sense in anything i say. Sorry, i don't do that. If that's why you are doing this, then i give up, you win. When you stand before the Lord at death, arm your with enough points to win Him. I'm ourahia. |
Hermes019:I hope you know that they are spirits only in this realm of solid matter? In their world they are people walking and talking as you and i do here. They have their fire just like we have ours. They have their Sun just like we do here. |
Martinez39:When you trying to seeing? Really Martins? All this noise na dey grama you fit blow? |
paxonel:Atheists don't believe in the spiritual. |
Deicide:Why are people skipping off your thread? 20+ views, no comment. Lolzzz |
paxonel:You know what? Let's do this, lets see what other translation says about that verse maybe you'll be cleared. New International Version But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery. But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Berean Study Bible But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Berean Literal Bible But I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who has been divorced commits adultery. New American Standard Bible but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Contemporary English Version But I tell you not to divorce your wife unless she has committed some terrible sexual sin. If you divorce her, you will cause her to be unfaithful, just as any man who marries her is guilty of taking another man's wife. Good News Translation But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also. Holman Christian Standard Bible But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. International Standard Version But I say to you, any man who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery." Oga, a married woman does not commit fornication, she commits adultery. |
OLAADEGBU:So.many of them. They totally undermine why Jesus died, and fixate on the colour of their skin. I find this annoying |
correctguy101:I was expecting you to face the scriprures, but you dodged them and faced me instead. See whar i told you before? I stand only with what the Scriptures says. It does not matter if the entire world opposes it. |
paxonel:You well? So if she sleep with another man who is not related to her or her husband she hasn't committed adultery? What is this? |
kimco:I happen to have a life. And, go back and read what you responded to. I don't have time for rhetorics. kimco:To men, not to God. kimco:This is your postulation or it's according to Scriptures? So Jesus approved concubines for men and that is not a sin? I need a scripture here pls. kimco:It should ve been mentioned how many times before it becomes a sin? kimco:What the hell are you on abt here? A woman belongs to her husband and a man belongs tto his wife. Divorce and fornication in one sentence? She can't be divorce except she marries first. And it's fornication if she's single. Get your mind here. kimco:No, it wasn't, by God's standpoint which never changes. That humans decided to falsify Gods ideals didn't mean the Divine Design was altered. No human was created to rule or subjugate another. If you understand LOVE, you'd understand it. The reason the Master came is to correct all that, and it began with the Stoning of the Adulterous woman. Man being the Head of the woman is not for subjugation, but for hyrachy's sake. If you argue, then you'd have to explain why the subjugation is only between a man and his wife, but not Christ to the man. Christ is the head of the man, yet He does not control and subjugate the man, why then does the man subjugate the one put under him? See a pattern? The devil in the details. kimco:Marriage can only be terminated on the condition that there was proven adultry by one partner. What i say to One, I say to all Says Jesus. No exception. quote author=kimco post=75790452] A woman had no authority to even talk back at her husband let alone to question him on his infidelity, and even if he does, so what? he is allowed to. She had no authority to take Divorce him. No court would allow that. Hell, women were not allowed to testify in court cos they were seen as less intelligent creatures, how was she going to get a court of men to side with her when they didn't respect her? This is Israel[/quote]According to man or God? Going through the Bible, i never read or perceive women considered less. Pls direct me there. Maybe the Bible which Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Esther, Bathsheba, Ruth, Deborah, and Mary Magdalene are in is a different one from yours. All the great men of old were ruled a d influenced by women, yet women were inferior and considered less than human. By you i guess. Do you know that women claim their Father's properties in Isreal? kimco:Who made the society patriarchal? God or Man? And, shouldn't it be 'Before you think of the physical, think of the spiritual? Which came first? Or, which emanated from which? You belong to this kworld, so will look only on the physical, i am spiritual, i look at the spiritual to understand the physical. (I didn't even go into what Adultery and fornication means spiritually). The Last i checked, He created them male and female and said TO 'THEM', NOT TO HIM, 'Dominate and subdue the earth. The Fall put the man over the woman but that was handled and restored by Jesus. He gave his life both for males and females. He gave His Holy Spirit, both to males and females and said to all of them, 'Go into the world and make dsiciples of men'. 'Occupy till i come'. When He will sit to judge us, He will nor demand the sins of women from men. Stupid. Only Men out of their selfishness remain unrepentant to what Christ has restructured. kimco:Thanks for your kind words. But, you are an unbeliever, yet believe you can tell us how to live our lives. Who is more silly here? You have tried to twist the Word to make you feel justified in your sexual proclivity. It won't change the Word in the least. And, if you are sincere with yourself, this your remark (which i find very laughable), does not include me. Becos, i didn't take sides with a particular section of the Word. I embrace all of it, because my Lord says i shd. So, you may want to redirect yojr remark to someone else. I do not pick and choose, if i did, point me out and stop trying to muffle your voice at me. kimco:You really wish you have made sense here right? You can't even tell the difference between adultery and fornication, yet we are the confused ones? Hahahahahahaha. For ya mind. kimco:Try to read first, before you can understand whar is 'inbetween the lines'. |
OLAADEGBU:It is indeed a Duck to me. |
OLAADEGBU:Total madness. Reading things like this shows that we don't take God who is Jesus seriously. People are full of hate for each oher forgetting everything Jesus taught and stood for. It's all abt who is superior and who is not. At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Matthew:18:1 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Matthew 20 26-27atthew:20:26 Jesus who died for the whole world seek not to control men and be superior over them, He calls us His friends and brethren. But look ar what satan has turn us into. No one is interested in what the Head of his Hohsehold says. They believe in God but don't believe in Heaven or hell lolzzzzz. |
The people in that picture look like thugs to me. |
correctguy101:Yes, like seriously. Good News Translation Galatians 1:7-9 Actually, there is no “other gospel,” but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell! We have said it before, and now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different from the one you accepted, may he be condemned (cursed) to hell! |
paxonel:What are you saying? paxonel:Lolzzzzzzzz. Poor you. paxonel:I can understand that you need to hide your ignorance. Not everyone shd be a teacher of the Word. Stop it. paxonel:So, a woman sleeping with her HUSBAND'S close relations is fornication not adultery? What breed of Christian are you? paxonel:Again, what breed of Christian are you? Is it so difficult for you to understand that the man mentioned by Paul in 1Cor 5;1 is single? His stepmom commits adultery, while he commits fornication. I'm not doing this for you, for your brain is backwards. Let others be corrected. quote author=paxonel post=75526656] in that case, you have just committed great sin against the holy spirit for not doing your personal research before quoting me[/quote]Isn't it obvious that you shd be one here needing research before talking abt stuff you have no clue about? You can't even say what fornication is. Falsifier of the gospel. paxonel:What has this got to do with Pre-marital Sex of the Op? Adultery can only be comitted by two married couples. If the married does it with a single, the married commits adultery, while the single commits formication. STOP TALKING ABT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW. |
kimco:So, the issue is with the Jews, not Jesus who gave the law. Adultery is a sexual immorality based on lusting or sleeping with another married woman. Now that we have that out of the way,[/quote]Or married man. It goes both ways. If a woman is married and sleeps with a man who is not her husband, she has committed adultery and vise versa. kimco:If the man is married, but the woman is not, he is committing adultery while she is committing fornication. kimco:Let's state what the Divine Design says. Both male and females belongs to God equally. Both souls answers to God individually (Not the man for the woman or the woman for the man) Everyone receives the same level of Grace and atonement for sins. Jesus died for both male and female. His laws are binding on both males and females. This said. The Lord Jesus says the only reason they must be a divorce, or what can free both parties from the string or bond that ties them, is if one of them commits adultery. So, if it's the man who commited adultery, the woman is free to divorce him and remarry if she wills. So also the man. The law is not binding only on her. kimco:Lol. Pls read the Word of God in between lines. |
sulasa07:Rightly said. Repent while you still can. People drop dead like flies everyday. If your sins remain while you drop, you'll be an outcast. |
paroh137:Symbolism of what? What attracted me is your correct illustration of why candles were used by the early brethren, 'which was to enable them see in caves', but we are out of caves, why do we still use them? If you say it's symbolic, then, it'll mean it's a ritual with a spiritual undertone. Why does the Church need Candles when she has the Light of the World, the light that shines brighter than the earth's sun as her bridegroom? |
correctguy101:Rest your mind sir, listening to people and becoming like them is not my area of strength. My mind is made up long ago as to who Jesus is. And for him being a legit Christian, lol. If Christian Science is now legit, then, he can be. But the last i checked Christian Science is a branch of Eastern Mystic. Maybe you shd follow him more closely and read what he types. Christianity has her body of teachings restricted to the Word of God. Anything outside of that, is coming from satan. His Verbosity and long winded ramblings which he uses to quote a tone of scriptures out of context doesn't make him a Christian. There use to be a guy here who busts him everytime he begins this his madness. In Christianity, we don't do Astral projections. We don't reincarnate, we don't do what the Eastern mystical religions do. And this i know he does and teaches. I am a Christian and whatever is not in the Word of God, i am admonished to curse Not only it, but who teaches it. |
paroh137:Thanks for the info. But why do some Christians in well lit Churches who are neither in caves or holes use candles for services? And why black and red candles? |
correctguy101:You go quote am, you no know say the guy no well? |
kimco:Will get back to this. Busy now. |
jcross19:Okay, you explain with the Holy Spirit lets hear you. |
jcross19:The way you are evading this issue, i'm beginning to think that you are involved in this act. Pls repent. The Message Bible. 1 Corinthians 6:16-20 There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body. |

) but I know I have my own beliefs and surprisingly, there's no holy book whatsoever but I only "study myself and my environment" nothing more. Mastering, resonating and transcending it all is all I seek in life.
