Sinkills: My friend, I like the fact that you are aware that some so called Christians are not following the entire teachings of Christ. So I want you to leave them alone in their errors and focus in what Christ taught. These include repentance and belief in His name for remission of your sins (Luke 24:46,47). This is the most important step. You should be more interested on how to be safe in time and eternity than what others are doing because it is a personal race. Once your ways are right with God, you can then in love help to correct and put others right. May God help us to be safe from eternal damnation I J N, Amen. Christianity and everything associated with it is a revised version of Mithraism. If you want to prove me wrong read about Mithraism and reply if there is a peculiarity with Christianity |

Christianity Etc › Re: 'I Don't Believe In Hell Fire' by emmkeffs(f): 2:31pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
Sinkills: OK then. You are entitled to your decision. But point of correction. I am not religious. I am a Christian. The two are not the same. I heard the gospel, repented, believed in Christ and my life changed from a sinner to a saint. Religion cannot do it. Only the transforming power of Christ can do that. So I am talking from the experencial salvation that I got in the early hours of Thursday, the 18th of November, 1999. I then got sanctified and baptised in the Holy Spirit. After that I received divine healing for pile, heart burns, ulcer, ear ache, and upper respiratory tract infection. God done a lot of other miracles in my life and through me for others. I am somebody who does not follow people sheepishly. I always want to experience something myself. So I know from experience that the Bible is true. Some churches or some so called pastors may be corrupt or whatsoever. That does not concern me. All I know is that once I was a dirty, corrupt and stubborn sinner, now I am saved. It is a personal race. May it not be too late for you to get the salvation I got in Jesus' name, Amen. I understand you perfectly and also know how you feel about Christianity. whatever way you see it Christianity is a religion. John 3:16 which christ spoke himself according to the bible is clear. Jesus did not speak of a group of people or refer to a movement as christianity. In fact, every xtians do is not a teaching of christ. He was not interested in a church, house or building not to mention denomination that have littered the whole claiming to be the sure source to God. In conclusion, God is Love and Love is God. Right understanding of the aforementioned will enable you to know that in the teachings of Jesus he never told anyone that except he accepts him as personal lord and saviour he will not be saved. let me politely say these are all figment of imagination. and if you believe everything the bible says. Go and read about Mithraism: A religion that existed prior to the birth of christ and tell yourself why the clear unquestionable similarities. |

Sinkills: God will certainly forgive you if you repent genuinely. I pray you earnestly do. Secondly, what you believe cannot change the reality. What if there is actually hell fire? Is it not safer for you to just repent, accept Christ and serve God in His terms for your own eternal wellbeing? Well sorry to disappoint you. 80% of what is in your bible are made up stories. a lot of the practice and doctrines are borrowed cultures from other religions before jesus came. I don't hate people because they say they are religious but hate when people as a result of what they have been made to believe turn themselves into religious crusaders all in the name of salvation, repentance and conversion. xtians and all religious people see the product of what man created as a blessing of God when they should consider one and the highest commandment is love. Xtians say they follow Jesus when in reality its opposite. The church is built on corruption and mind control mechanism. Go to your history and you will find out that religion is harmful to humanity as a specie. Once in this part of the world, the internet came from the pit of hell, attachment was hellish according to you professed xtians but today you have all accepted that its good. TRUTH must first be rejected, castigated before it is accepted. |

In Noah’s flood, everyone in the ark of Noah floated above this evil knowledge; their hearts was hermetically sealed by the MOST HIGH GOD from the corruptive influence of the evil knowledge that took over the world. The flood that happened during the time of Noah was a flood of ignorance, dis-illumination, and death.

Christianity Etc › Re: 'I Don't Believe In Hell Fire' by emmkeffs(f): 5:45pm On Jul 24, 2016 |
Sinkills: There are people who seriously doubt the existence of hell fire - a place where unrepentant sinners are punished forever. Some agree that since the Holy Scriptures affirm its existence including Christ Himself (Psalms 9:17; Matthew 25:41,46; Luke 12:4,5; 16:22-31) then hell fire must be real. There are others who think that God is too merciful to cast the people He created into hell fire for all eternity. Well, you are entitled to your thoughts. However, my take is that one should be on the safer side. If you live your life with the belief that there is hell fire and you die only to discover that there is nothing like that, you don't have anything to lose, do you? On the other hand, if you believe there is no hell fire which affects tour attitude, lifestyle and choices and then you die only to be confronted with the reality of its existence, what will you do? I completely agree with you. We create our experiences. Personally, I don't believe in Hell. As for me living in this world is the hell. And come to think of it, if Jesus said xtians should forgive 70 x 70 times a day then God should be forgive like UNLIMITED a day. I can prove it with anyone that there is no place called hell fire only in the consciousness of religious followers |
Christianity Etc › Re: 5 Most Dangerous Consequences Of Disobeying GOD'S Word by emmkeffs(f): 5:40pm On Jul 24, 2016 |
ADEWUMIMichael: In our day and age, I have noticed,
and please correct me if I am wrong,
that some people including
Christians do not take God's
commands or doctrines very
seriously. Some people think that
when the new covenant, the
covenant of grace, came into effect,
God stopped caring about doctrine.
Some feel that doctrine is
insignificant in the new covenant,
only serving and loving God's people
are what's important today.
Brethren, I am a firm believer that
serving and loving God's people are
important. However, obeying God's
commands and doctrines are very
important as well. In fact, not only
are we going to be judged on our
service to others, but we will also be
judged on how faithful we are in
following the Word of God.
.
....
“As for the person who hears my
.words but does not keep them, I do
not judge him. For I did not come to
judge the world, but to save it.
There is a judge for the one who
rejects me and does not accept my
words; that very word which I spoke
will condemn him at the last
day" (Jn. 12:47, 48)....
We will be judged on how faithful we
are in following the Words of the
Lord...,,.
As you can tell, I am very
concerned with the laid back attitude
that some people have concerning
the doctrines and commandments of
God. Furthermore, I am also very
concerned how some people are
distorting the Scriptures to justify
their own desired beliefs. Some
people, instead of excepting and
obeying God's specific teaching on a
subject, manipulate or distort God's
Word to support their own human
views. The Bible on many occasions
warns us not to distort truth.
My friends, we need to see that it
is a very serious thing to distort
God's Word.
(1) According to ( Gal. 1:9 ), people who
distort the Word of God will be
eternally condemned.
(2) According to ( 2 Pet. 2:1-3; 3:16 ),
people who distort the Word of God
will bring upon themselves
destruction.
(3) We must never intentionally distort
the Word of God to satisfy our
human and worldly beliefs. If we do,
we are jeopardizing our souls.
(4) If we distort or disobey a
commandment of God, we commit
sin ( 1 Jn. 3:4 ). And you know, as
well as I know that sin is a very
serious offense.
(5) When God gives us a command,
we need to do our very best to
follow it. We need to start taking
God's commands more seriously. In
the Bible, when people disobeyed
God's instructions, they were
punished.
a.Just because Adam & Eve ate from
the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, which God told them not to,
death came to all people ( Gen. 3 ).
b. Just because Moses struck the rock
instead of speaking to it like God
told him too, he was not allowed to
enter the Promised Land ( Num.
20:8-12 ).
c. Just because Nadab & Abihu
offered an unauthorized fire while
worshipping God, fire came down
from the presence of the Lord and
consumed them ( Lev. 10:1, 2 ).
d. Just because Ananias & Sapphira
lied to the Holy Spirit and held back
some money from a land deal, they
both fell down and died ( Acts 5 ).
My dear brothers and sisters, we
must start taking the commandments
of God more seriously. Although we
are living in new covenant of grace,
we still must obey the Lord. We
must revere the word's of our
creator. We must obey the
commands that even seem
insignificant to us. I realize that
none of us are perfect, and on
occasions, we will make mistakes.
But we must do every thing we can
to faithfully obey the commands of
God and not distort His Word. hmmmn I see too many research from one book. the bible. |

Christianity Etc › Re: 32 Reasons Why I Will Continue To Believe In God by emmkeffs(f): 1:46pm On Jul 17, 2016 |
winner01: 22. The Holy Bible
The Bible. Paul wrote that “all Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Tim. 3:16). The Bible itself is proof of God’s existence because He used 40 unrelated people over a period of 2,000 years to write His unique love letter to us. There is nothing like the Bible because it carries the same consistent message throughout all of its 66 different books. Atheists can laugh at this idea, but those who have read the Scriptures and experienced God through its pages know why it is the best-selling and most-translated book in all of history. (Fact: 100 million copies of the Bible are sold every year. Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion has sold 2 million.)
Christians do not believe that God exists simply because the Bible teaches that He does, nor do Christians believe that the Bible is the Word of God simply because the Bible claims to be inspired by God. Anyone can make claims about whatever they wish. Simply because a person claims to have revelation from a supernatural Creator does not make it so (e.g., the Book of Mormon). However, if the Bible possesses attributes that are super-human, then the Bible proves itself to be of supernatural origin and has indirectly proven the existence of the supernatural Author. American atheist Dan Barker alluded to the legitimacy of this argumentation for God’s existence in 2009 when he explained that one of the things which could falsify atheism would be if God spoke to man and gave him specific information about future events.
Indeed, one extremely valuable line of evidence that confirms that the Bible is the inspired Word of God is the presence of accurate, predictive prophecy contained in its pages. Not only are the prophecies of the Bible fulfilled in minute detail with complete accuracy, but these fulfillments are often accomplished centuries after the prophecies were made. Even the skeptic understands that if this is the case, a supernatural agent must be responsible for the writing of the Bible. That is why the skeptic attempts to discredit the prophecies by claiming that they were written after the events or by claiming that they were not fulfilled in detail. By attempting to disparage the prophecies using these methods, the skeptic admits that if the prophecies were written centuries before the events, and if they are fulfilled in detail, then a supernatural agent is responsible for them. As the prophet Jeremiah wrote: “As for the prophet who prophecies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent” (28:9). Completely accurate, fulfilled prophecy is a characteristic that verifies the divine inspiration of the Bible.
One such prophecy concerned a man named Cyrus and two nations: Babylon and the Medo-Persian Empire. Isaiah, who prophesied around 700 B.C., vividly described how God would destroy the powerful kingdom of Babylon, “the glory of kingdoms” (13:19). Writing as if it had already occurred (commonly known as the “prophetic perfect,” frequently employed in the Old Testament to stress the absolute certainty of fulfillment, e.g., Isaiah 53), Isaiah declared Babylon would fall (21:9). He then prophesied that Babylon would fall to the Medes and Persians (Isaiah 13; 21:1-10). Later, he proclaimed that the “golden city” (Babylon) would be conquered by a man named Cyrus (44:28; 45:1-7). This is a remarkable prophecy, especially since Cyrus was not born until almost 150 years after Isaiah penned these words.
Not only did Isaiah predict that Cyrus would overthrow Babylon, but he also wrote that Cyrus, serving as Jehovah’s “anointed” and “shepherd,” would release the Jews from captivity and assist them in their return to Jerusalem for the purpose of rebuilding the temple. Isaiah's prophecies were recorded almost 200 years before Cyrus conquered Babylon (539 B.C.).
Secular history verifies that all of these events came true. There really was a man named Cyrus who ruled the Medo-Persian Empire. He did conquer Babylon. And just as Isaiah prophesied, he assisted the Jews in their return to Jerusalem and in the rebuilding of the temple.]
Truly, “no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21). And, if men were inspired of God to write the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16), then God exists. In short, the Bible’s supernatural attributes logically demand a supernatural Author.
23. Experiences with true Christians
Even when I was irreligious and scorned at believers, I knew deep down that something wasn’t right. I wondered why I was inclined to scorn at believers. Most of my relatives have been muslims but the remaining christians that surrounded me made wonder. These people are the ones that God have used throughout my spiritual growth. I bless God for that.
24. Because of available scientific and archeological evidence
Well, i’m a slave to proof. Given the scientific and archeological evidence we have about our universe and its origins, and bolstered by arguments presented by philosophers for centuries, it is highly probable that the universe had an absolute beginning. Since the universe, like everything else, could not have merely popped into being without a cause, there must exist a transcendent reality beyond time and space that brought the universe into existence. This entity must therefore be enormously powerful. Only a transcendent, unembodied mind suitably fits that description.
25. God is everything
I’m not pro-APC or anything but I discuss Nigerian politics once in a while. And so while discussing the other day, a pro-PDP politician friend asked me for the evidence of bad governance of PDP over the years. I couldn’t argue much, i just told him: Look around you. Friends, God is exactly what I see anytime I open this eyes of mine. Just look around you.
26. My life is not good but great with Christ Since I started my walk with Christ, I’ve never regretted my decisions. I’ve won, failed, loved and lost. But through it all God has been there. I love my life with Christ and so when atheists try relentlessly to offer me another deal (to no end, as the deceptively claim), I can’t but wonder what’s in it for them.
27. The lives of converts
I dont want to talk much on this. But I’ve seen drug addicts, prostitutes, thugs, magicians, assasins and other scums come to terms with the good news of Christ. I’ve personally seen such lives change for the better.
28. The message of love from Christ.
If you had to give up the life of your son or daughter to save a stranger, would you do it? The answer is of course not. If I had kids, I would not give up their life to save anybody. I’m just being honest.
But God gave up His only Son to save the world - Only God could take on the sins of the world. It was something that was very difficult to do, and can really only be understood once you understand the implications.
Jesus Christ said: “Love your neighbor as yourself”; If we all followed this commandment, the world will be much better. Countries won’t spend ridiculous amounts of money on nuclear weapons while thousands of humans die of hunger. Companies would reduce the amount of sugar present in drinks knowing fully well that millions of people take them daily and that it might be deleterious to their health. Nigerian politicians won’t steal in billions while their citizens die of poverty, disease and starvation. The houses of God won’t be turned into a den of thieves. Companies would focus more on other renewable sources of energy, and thus contribute massively to the preservation of our world. Celebrities will not focus on money, nudity and sex but hard-work, diligence and trust that can help to build up children as reasonable and useful citizens of their country and so on. Jesus’ message was the bomb: Love, Love, Love!
29. Evolution
Charles Darwin was being honest when he wrote: “I believe my speculations runs quite beyond the bounds of true science”. If someone said he had a theory that elephants evolved from prehistoric flying pigs, we might want to see their evidence before accepting it as fact. If they said they’d found no evidence or the evidence was missing, it would take a great step of faith to believe their theory.
Evolution is a belief that in the beginning there was nothing – the nothing exploded and gradually created everything. It would seem the world’s greatest faith is placed in evolution and its ever-changing theories. Yet generally unbeknown to the believing public, no palaeontologist has presented any supportable evidence of the problematic transition from one species to another, especially when considering more than 250 000 different fossil species have been found to date. The link between man and ape remains missing. All supposed links between dinosaurs and birds have been refuted by experts in the field as unfit candidates.
To date, no one has witnessed any lifeless chemicals arranging themselves into complex information-bearing bio-molecules needed for life. The odds of just one single protein molecule (in all its mathematical complexity) being arranged by chance has been calculated at 1 in 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000. However, 239 protein molecules are needed for the smallest theoretical life.
It is ironic that many people refute beliefs of Christianity on the basis of lack of supportable evidence, but happily turn to ‘theories’ of evolution, never once questioning – where is the evidence?
Still, many people object to the idea of God, thinking that such a belief is not scientific. However, we are not surprised at how many well-known, respected scientists (both past and present) conclude that there is an ingenious Creator behind creation and have strong Christian views. G.K. Chesterton was right when he said: 'When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.'
30. Man is especially intelligent
Man obviously has an extremely high level of intelligence. He has constructed spaceships that he can guide 240,000 miles to the Moon while both the Earth and the Moon are in motion. He has built artificial hearts that can extend the lives of the sick. He continues to construct computers that can process billions of pieces of information a second. He can write poetry, calculate where Mars will be 50 years from the present, and build everything from pianos to PlayStation video game consoles. Man is an intelligent being.
Although there is a great chasm between mankind and the animal kingdom, animals do possess a measure of intelligence. Dogs can learn to sit, stay, roll over, and play dead. Dolphins can learn to jump through hoops on command. Birds can make helpful “tools” from twigs in order to accomplish some basic tasks. A few years ago, two colorful, eight-legged cephalopods, known as cuttlefish, graced the cover of the journal New Scientist. The authors referred to this amazing sea creature as a “sophisticated,” “inventive,” eight-legged “genius” with “intelligence” and a “secret code”.
According to atheistic evolution, billions of years ago “nothing” caused a tiny ball of matter to explode. Then, billions of years after this Big Bang, galaxies began to form from lifeless, mindless, unintelligent particles floating around in space in massive clouds of dust. Allegedly, Earth eventually evolved from such a dust cloud. Hundreds of millions of years later, intelligent animals and humans evolved.
What humans have consistently observed in nature, however, is that intelligence demands previous intelligence. The reason that humans in the 21st century are intelligent is because our ancestors were intelligent. The reason that animals have some measure of intelligence is due to intelligent creatures that came before them. Dust does not give way to organized dust particles that have “the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.” Water does not think. The mindless mud that evolutionists contend gave way to intelligent life on Earth is nothing but a delusional tale unsupported by everything we know from observation and experience. Neither “nothing” nor inorganic matter ever produces intelligent creatures. So how did the first intelligent creatures come to inhabit the Universe? Just as the first life demands a supernatural life Giver, so the first intelligent beings demand a self-existent, miracle-working Creator of intelligence.
We are experiencing in our world is something intelligence can grasp. Intelligence is part of what we find in the world. But this universe is not itself intellectually aware. As great as the forces of nature are, they do not know themselves. Yet we know them and ourselves. These remarkable facts, the presence of intelligence amidst unconscious material processes, and the conformity of those processes to the structure of conscious intelligence—have given rise to a variation on the first argument for design.
Readers familiar with C. S. Lewis's Miracles will remember the powerful argument he made in chapter three against what he called "naturalism": the view that everything, including our thinking and judging, belongs to one vast interlocking system of physical causes and effects. If naturalism is true, Lewis argued, then it seems to leave us with no reason for believing it to be true; for all judgments would equally and ultimately be the result of non-rational forces.
Now this line of reflection has an obvious bearing. Blind chance is the way physical nature must ultimately operate if "naturalism" is true, void of any rational plan or guiding purpose. So if Lewis's argument is a good one, then blind chance cannot be the source of our intelligence. Nice one. You are on the right path except that you assume that only one way leads to God which is not right. There are a lot that religion hides from us. Good Job though |
Car Talk › Re: I Am Driving From Abuja To Lagos. Advice Needed Please!!! by emmkeffs(f): 6:20pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
I will advice you go to a transport companies relate with drivers that ply that route.
Secondly once you have used the car for more than 6months plus on Nigerian road, custom is not something to border about because your custom papers can be carried about in the first 6months of purchase after which its not a requirement.
Don't rely too much on the GPS. I once did on my to port Harcourt but met a river without bridge while the GPS says there is a bridge. I saw the back of my ear that day. Try and get the new tinted permit that's the only thing you should worry about. To make it snappy empower yourself with little denominations like 100#. When u approach any police check point put on a homely approach probably with pidgin. If you are lucky they will only ask you if there's anything for the boys |

allanphash7: Not dragging issues with you bro cos i can see that you are mature in your quote
This is what i am saying here......
* if a god told someone that it is not advisable for someone to wear a shoe into his tabernacle and someone else says nothing is wrong with it
* if a god told someone that its not advisable for ladies/girls/women to open their head in his tabernacle and someone elses sees that there is nothing wrong in it
*if a god says that using jeweryls is not ethical in the christaindom and someone elses see it to be a good thing to wear
My brother would we call this Ones ?
Kindly enlighten me The problem here is religion not these doctrines. For example everything that christ did and loved, Christians believe in the opposite. However am not of any religious affiliation. For every act be it good or bad in our consciousness, there is part of the bible or Koran that supports it. with the aforementioned, I mean the religious holy books supports these things. Religion is a sophisticated version of mind control |
Christianity Etc › John 3:16 - Could It Be A Mistake Of Translation by emmkeffs(op): 8:22am On Jul 10, 2016 |
I would like to have your opinions on this issue. As Christians it is clearly agreed that the words of Jesus Christ is written with Red letters in the bible.
If you agree, Christians believe that John 3:16 is the authority on Jesus as the only begotten Son of God. I have a question that will spark some curiosity or maybe criticisms. won't be surprised though! If Jesus is the Only begotten Son and his words are written in Red as shown in the bible why would Jesus say "for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in HIM" Now if I am talking about myself, I should use ME and not HIM. what do you think? |

allanphash7: You know the god celestial is different from that of RCCG and that of deeper life and that of Winners and so on There is something people need to understand. whatever you believe in no matter how lame it may sound. That is GOD. Remember God told Moses. I am THAT I am. think about it very well then we will stop comparing and judging |
