Epathra: To start with, I wasn't trained to believe Christianity was in competition with other religion. Next, the 10 commandment is no stranger to even my 2 year old nephew. Overfamiliarity has somewhat watered down its effect. These days sef, people don't lie, steal and all other what nots, they cause people to do ΐτ̅. If u can move out of our stereotypic religious view of God and christianity, then, u'll see the sense in this. End of quote.

You don't comprehend. Read my post again. Once again, GOD is never mocked, never!

"And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. " (Matthew 25:32-33)

One thing will make the sheep distinct from the goat -SIN

"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 if 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. " (Matthew 5:29-30)

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:21-23)

"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. " (Matthew 4:4)

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Romans 6:1-2)

The word of GOD, there is nothing like unto it

Where muslims never make a joke with their 'allah', church-goers create joke with the infallible word of GOD, His word that He exalts above His Holy name. Kai,,,these people know not what they are doing.

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)

"And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. " (Luke 16:

Oh, be thou exalted oh LORD of hosts,,,in generations past, this generation and in the generation to come, GOD is never mocked. No, no, NEVER!!!!

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

Yes. There would be a second chance for people left behind:

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4)

But this should not be an excuse to be careless to miss rapture. Because you don't know if you'll be alive to witness the event. Because if one dies to face judgement, no second chance. Aside that, what makes you think mortal man like you can stand the wrath of the Almighty GOD? What makes you think you can withstand the suffering from the agents of darkness, when there would be torment and deceit here and there. Number one, imagine no food for a week. See, if you know how horrifying war is, example, if you know what happened in the most destructive war the world has ever witnessed so far(world war II), such evil and pestilence can never be compared to what will happen to mankind in the great tribulation. Hunger, famine, earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, holocaust, torment, torture, infreno, disaster, name them

Prepare for the coming of the master JESUS CHRIST o. Make you dey the presence of GOD dey relax and being hundred percent sure of inheriting the new heaven and the new earth than playing the dicey game which the tendency of you loosing is very high.

Be wise, start now.....

It's not good. You already know such thing is not good and you're very correct there is a big difference between a christian and a church-goer. As a christian, forgive him, don't hold it against him, pray to GOD to change his heart and not hold these things against him

Probably 'christians' that can't rightfully divide the word of truth.

Op, why are you an atheist?

Not advisable

sample042: Dear, my last post also covers ur opinion in dis issue.




Am sorry, but y are we hypocrites (meant no harm).

Why did you tag me a hypocrite?

Just like this fellow^^^, I'm not afraid to die and every christian should be. Death must come to everyone, so prepare for it.

I'll be happy to die as far as I'm in JESUS CHRIST. Heaven is my home. I'll be glad to die right now and go to heaven

Where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also. Many are chasing fame, wealth, career etc that they forget we're only pilgrims here on earth. Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

My goal is heaven, and by GOD's grace, I will be there

ezeudo2000: Hmmmm..by His grace I will be there

Amen. You will be there. Strive to be there and seek the kingdom of GOD above every other thing in life.

Where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also. Focus on heaven alone. We will be there, we will be at the great supper of the Lamb.

Hope to see you there friend

moski5: Zacheus lived in the old testament The new testament began Officially from Acts
You can say the scriptures could mean !restitution Yet its your 'opinion of them

Fine. Believe what you may and do what you may

"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." (Revelation 22:11)

WHY MANY CHRISTIANS
WILL MISS THE
RAPTURE!
“Strive to enter through the
narrow gate, for many, I say to
you, will seek to enter and will
not be able. Luke 13:24
Since Rapture will not happen
twice, but once, wise Christians
will do more to focus and strive to
be counted worthy. Why will
many miss the rapture even after
they are born again and serving
God? Here are 7 common reasons
in which any of them can hold back
a Born again Christian:
(1) UNDONE RESTITUTION
Acts 24:16
After you are genuinely saved,
there may be some wrongs of the
past that need to be corrected in
your present new life in Jesus.
Restitution includes restoring
things wrongly acquired,
revealing lies and deceptions and
reconciling with people we
offended, and also forgiving with
all our hearts people who offended
us, no matter how terrible.
Forgiveness from the heart is
part of restitution and many
Christians, ministers of God will
miss rapture and heaven just
because of un-forgiveness and
bitterness. Matthew 6:14, 15.
UNPAID & INESSENTIAL
DEBT, when you have the power
to pay but postponing or does not
want to pay, this can hinder
Christians from being raptured or
entering heaven. And a serious
minded Christian will be wary of
unnecessary debts of buying
inessential stuffs in credit.
(2) JUST A LITTLE SIN
Galatians 5:9
Many will miss rapture and
entrance to heaven not because
they are not born again and
serving God, not because they are
committing serious sins, but just
because of a little, besetting sin,
just little but too heavy to hold
people down from making rapture.
Can you imagine that wearing
tight clothes, tops that show a
woman's cleavage or transparent
clothes would hinder so many
godly sisters from making the
rapture? When the Holy Spirit
calls your attention to the little
sin, you excuse yourself that it
doesn’t matter, everybody is
doing it or it is your own
weakness since everybody has a
weakness. It may be little anger,
envy, jealousy, even in the work
of God. Little, little lies, using
people’s or your office’s
materials for your personal
purpose without taking
permission. You think it doesn’t
matter? It does. Let’s repent
NOW. Common sins will
commonly hinder common
Christians and ministers back.
(3) LITTLE WORLDLINESS 1
John 2:16
Little worldliness will hinder so
many Christians from making the
rapture. This little worldliness
does not matter to many
Christians and churches today.
The worldly music which you call
normal, worldly movies,
magazines (fashion,
entertainment or Indecency), TV
programs inspired by Satan
(American Idol, African Idols,
Big Brother Africa, MTN
Project Fame, Gulder Ultimate
Search, Dance shows, African
magic, animated cartoon, etc. )
Also worldly dress (wearing
tops, blouses that show the trace
of your bosoms as a woman or
that reveals your back, tight,
transparent or shot dress) Many
Christian women are tapped by
Satan with worldly dress
unknowingly but they will know
after the rapture. Those who have
died have gotten to know already
but too late.
(4) OVER CONFIDENCE 1
Corinthians 10:12
Over-confidence will hinder many
believers from entering heaven.
You see the shortcoming of
others without seeing yours,
without daily searching your life
with the Word of God and prayer
for forgiveness and daily
sanctification. This category of
people believe they can never make
mistake after they are saved,
they believe they are once and
entirely sanctified and no need for
daily prayer for cleansing and
sanctification, they are bound in
bountiful hypocrisy which is one
of the most terrible sins-
hypocrisy. Believing that you
can’t make mistake after you are
saved is a serious mistake.
Tenderness and watchfulness
serve better.
(5) UNCONFESSED SIN 1
Timothy 5:24
Unconfessed sin remains a secret
sin. You did something wrong and
you realize it and confessed to
God but concealed it from people,
you refuse to confess to
necessary partners or people even
after the Holy Spirit has
ministered to you to expose it,
you are listening to the wrong
preachers and your wrong motive
and defending yourself that you
have confessed to God so that
should settle it. This will block
many ears from hearing the sound
of the Trumpet of rapture. Please,
you must confess to one another,
James 5:16, as the case may be,
why will you miss rapture just
because of this little
shortcoming?
(6) LITTLE COMPROMISE 1
Corinthians 5:6
Little compromise at workplace, in
your business, to get contract,
job or promotion; little
compromise to get your
documents and papers - being
smart. Little compromise in
examination hall, in marital
relationship or in your tithes and
offerings; these little, little,
overlooked stuffs will hold and
hinder many Believers and
Ministers from making heaven. If
you are careful, the compromise of
your society, of your church and
idolized Pastors will not infect
and affect you.
(7) LACK OF LOVE 1 John 4:8
Do you think it’s possible to make
heaven without love? And does
your life shows the love of
Christ? Please read 1
Corinthians 13:1-8. Most
churches and Christians lack love.
Love is kindness and expresses
goodness to all men, especially
brethren, it helps and shares. The
syndrome of “sowing” into the
lives of big pastors, the several
church projects and personal
projects have blinded many
Christians from loving and
helping people around them.
Purity without love is hypocrisy,
love without purity is lust, but
real purity means PURE LOVE.
Christian life without love is
hypocrisy.
Please, we should all search our
lives with the light of God’s
Word, let’s repent now and
confess and correct everything as
the Holy Spirit calls our
attention. Irrespective of our
spiritual attainments and
positions, God is not a respecter
of any man. As long you still see
yourself as a little child in God’s
hand, you must be humble and
careful enough to look into your
life. Let’s ask God to sanctify us,
and let’s also be more watchful
from now, be more vigilant and
prayerful everyday as we ask for
God’s grace and mercy to be
counted worthy, we all need these,
we are all striving and no man is a
superman, until we get to heaven.
May God help us and see us
through to the end in Jesus name.
Rapture will happen once and any
time from now. If you want to
rededicate your life to Jesus or
need further counsel on any of
these points, please feel free to
contact the address below. That
we are still alive now, is a great
privilege, let’s make use of it
NOW!
1 Peter 4:7,“But the end of all
things is at hand; therefore be
serious and watchful in your
prayers.”
Where will you be after the
rapture?

Nice one op, I'm resorting this on my profile. See people's comments, can they endure sound doctrine? (2 Tim 4:3-4)

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:21-23)

Is it not this world we live in?

"The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." (Psalm 34:15)

"For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." (1 Peter 3:12)

Our purpose here on earth is to keep the commandments of GOD and serve Him in truth and spirit, that we will inherit His kingdom for ever in eternity in His presence in the new heaven and new earth

From your options, it's someone who follows the laws and commandments of GOD. Because you will believe in JESUS CHRIST if you do, go to church, live morally because everything we do is to be guided by the word of GOD as the word of GOD is a shining lamp unto the feet of the saints and a light unto their path:

"And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. " (Matthew 19:17)

"If ye love me, keep my commandments. " (John 14:15)

PastorKun: So in short we should leave these charlatans to continue to deceive and take advantage of our fellow christians whilst we keep silent. Do you realise the kind of havoc these men are causing? Do you realise how many people they have turned into atheists through their manipulative ways? Yet as a christian you want me to keep quiet and watch my brethen being lead astray. Where is the love of Christ in that?

Your cursing them won't make them change. Rather, ignore them and focus on the flock to remove the beam from their eyes. Of which you can't do this by cursing their leader

It is either you are gathering or scattering for Christ

moski5: asides the old testament scriptures the new testament almost says nothing about so I'll be quiet on this one.

Why did Zaccheus restored the money he cheated in the new testament?

How do you keep this commandment if you don't do restitution? "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." (Romans 13:

How also do you follow peace with all men even after you became a born again or did something wrong? "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:" (Hebrews 12:14)

How do you keep this commandment if you don't do restitution? "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." (Romans 12:18)

Rilwayne001: Prophetudeme....


Please was jesus refering to himself in Mark.

Mark 12: 29 Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! [size=15pt] The LORD OUR God is the ONE and ONLY LORD. [/size]

* Notice the "OUR"

* Notice "ONE" and "ONLY"

was jesus refering to himself here

See, as you don't believe in Him, the Bible will be as parables to you:

"And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly." (Mark 12:35-37)

How then did David call JESUS CHRIST LORD in the old testament when Christ haven't even been born?

Oduduwaboy: Jesus is nothing but a jewish fraud o jare!

You will live to continue the story somewhere beyond

rinrin23: This is why Nigerian pastors get away with all kinds of atrocities!

Is it not this world we live in? Let every man alone and focus on your salvation. Relax and let judgement to GOD alone. The day of judgement will come, where every man will reap what he sow. Don't you know hypocrites will suffer most for eternity in the lake of fire? Or have ye not read?

"Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully" (Jeremiah 48:10)

Christ will judge us all.

PastorKun: Since when did speaking against charlatans who parade themselves as men of God become blasphemy against the holy spirit?. you are actually the one blaspheming by twisting scriptures to support your manipulative position.

Alright. Fine. Good. To your tents o Israel. Every man for himself. Do whatever pleases you. Everyone stick to his/her opinion.

"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." (Revelation 22:11)

Ograke: Nonsense.

She's asking a reasonable and thought-provoking question.

Why did God give us those urges when we are to not act on them until marriage?

Isn't he omnipotent?..Why can't the urges start manifesting after marriage?..Can't he do it?

Then if he can,why is he giving us when we are suppsedly not ready?

Testing us?...What kind of cruelty is that?

So that we can "sin" and then land in hell?

My argument;if we are not supposed to act on those urges until marriage,why do we develop them in the very early stages of life?

In this context,who is really to blame?

God or man?

I pray GOD forgive you and don't hold this against you.

Since you don't agree with what I said, you can stick with your opinion then. We will live to tell the story somewhere beyond

Apatheist: Write out what is written In the verse.
Matthew 16:28
Tell me what it says.
I didn't ask for a sermon.

"Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. " (Matthew 13:13)

Better stop parading yourself as a christian the way you are; "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

Psylas: you're lacking sense, you're already doomd for not bein intelligent. You're a felow homosapiens, I'll respect you more than Jesus, Bhuda, Muhammad, Allah, Yahwah etc. Smh, your pastors have brainwashed u

Don't respect the creation more than the creator. JESUS CHRIST only is LORD. Don't joke with these things pls, you are playing with fire. If you are not a christian, that shouldn't warrant you to blasphem. I pray you repent someday before it will be too late

Sin is sin, whether man or woman, the wage of sin is death, the soul that sinneth shall die.

GOD is faithful, He won't let anyone face a temptation that He cannot be able to overcome if He is truely determined to live a Holy life -1st Cor. 10:13

Just as Job, we are called to be perfect. On the last day, there would be no excuse

Psylas: damn the holy spirit! Who sends?! Adeboye and other pastors are criminals/crooks. Smh4u

If you are angry, curse me instead pls. You bring doom to yourself. I pray you repent so GOD will forgive you

Yeah. Sure. Righteousness and holiness in JESUS CHRIST, a life without sin.

If you are Holy and live a righteous life, my bro, you can call on GOD any time any day, He will answer you. Just ask anything in the name of JESUS CHRIST, believe and it is done.

"The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." (Psalm 34:15)

"The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?" (Proverbs 21:27)

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16)

"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." (John 14:14)

nora544: What is with Adeboye and his money or is his money split to all his familymembers.

With all due respect ma, I urge you to hold your peace. Please mind the way you speak against men of GOD. All manner of sin will be forgiven to the son of man but that against the Holy spirit won't be forgiven. If you speak against a man of GOD, truely ordained by GOD, then you blasphem the Holy spirit as the scribes and pharisees did in time of Christ. So please ma'am, hold your peace and don't say a thing, even if you have anything against them, hold your peace

Apatheist: Jesus isn't coming back; he said so himself.
Read your Bible.
What does Matthew 16:28 say?

Yes, I am one of those still standing that are likely not to taste death till He comes. That verse of the Bible have not yet being fulfilled.

Till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot from the word of GOD will fall to the ground till all is fulfilled.
