una well done oooo

I am pretty sure that when many folks here talk about sin, all they are thinking about is sex

In another news, a number of folks who believe in the grace thing
are also quick to redefine it when it comes to things like tithes and their pastors

It's obvious you know the English language but you are not well versed in the art of interpretation or suggestive criticism! When someone issues a statement like this:

It shows the person has a preformed idea about his or her audience and this preformed sentiment allowed him to write in a condescending tone. If only he knew that the person he was replying was not only abroad but doing quite well, I'm absolutely sure he would have revised the statement!

uhmmm English is quite dynamic sha.. and probably subjective.

Billygee2u:
you are being logical.
have you traveled to abroad before?
my humble advice to you and others in Africa who are nursing the idea to leave leave your wives to go abroad for greener pasture is ,better forget the idea and use the money to engage in one legitimate business and God who says he that findeth a wife findeth good thing and obtain favor from the Lord,will surely bless your hustle.
God made them to be one and not two by separation.
what God join together,let no one put asunder.

and then you went ahead to respond with a fight like this:

I've been living in Atlanta since 2010 so spare me the lecture! My father came to the USA in the 1980s living behind my mom and 2 children. Before he left 9ja, we were all living in a face me and face you house struggling to survive, he just lost his job with NEPA and things were very difficult, imagine what would have happened if he had refused to use his Oluwole visa and chose to stay back in Nigeria? Yes, he suffered a great deal abroad including marrying an obese woman just to get his papers but it all worked out in the end. It took 6 to 7 years for him to fully get himself and in the 10th year he brought my mom to the USA. Looking at their net worth today, I would say they are valued at over 1/2 a billion naira collectively and all was through hard work. My brother and I had to live without both parents for some time but in the end, we are all successful living life to the fullest. What would have happened if dad chose comfort instead of hustling? Be careful how you to talk to people on the internet, some people have been through more than you can ever imagine!

but if someone asks me if I've been to Japan before, the answer is NO, i've not been, but i've watched some japanese movies

Christianity Etc › Re: What Does This Scripture Say Really? by esere826: 1:22am On Jan 05, 2016

ATMC:
Hebrews 10:26

KJV:For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Does this mean that God will not forgive wilful sin? If yes then why are we told that Christ paid for the sins we will commit in future? without specifying if it be wilfully or not.

let's try this:

If after yo've accepted /believed that Christ has taken away our sins once and for all, yet you come back insisting that you have sinned outside this purview of forgiveness /grace. What then can be used to blot this sin that you've chosen to place outside the the framework of christ's forgiveness?
.....all that will be left is you living with a crippling fear and expectation of damnation

Interestingly there also seems to be at least a slight similarity with the start of Genseis -
Eve ate the fruit wilfully, nothing happened
Adam ate the fruit wilfully, both eyes became opened
Yet God didnt seem to know what happened
Only when Adam wilfuly confessed that he was out of grace/favour/Sync that God noticed ...and 'rained curses'

Christianity Etc › Re: Was Jesus Being Rude To Mary When He Referred To Her As "Woman" In John 2:4? by esere826: 11:00am On Dec 27, 2015

OLAADEGBU:
You have not answered the question, sir.

Yes I did.
Let me try again..
If Jesus and the woman were westerners living today in a western society, then Jesus was indeed rude.
In some Nigerian cultures, that would also be rude, while in some this would be acceptable and even considered endearing depending on the age of Jesus

So, except you fully understand the Jewish culture of that time, and the relationship between Jesus and his mum, you really can't say it is so and so.

...always remember this: context is everything

OLAADEGBU:
Yes. What is above all things there?

First, It is my understanding that that verse was written by John, and not Paul hence my confusion.

Next,
"above all things" seem to suggest "my earnest desire"

Using only english translations of the bible and not the original language texts
prosper suggests material/physical growth
Now, taking all three wishes together
he was saying to Gaius, that its his wish/hope (not prayer)
that Gaius grows materially(including financially) and spiritually while sustaining good health

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth"

Christianity Etc › Re: Is The Word Of Faith Movement Biblical? by esere826: 7:45pm On Nov 26, 2015

OLAADEGBU:

Paul had many wishes for you and I. Which one are you referring to?

And by the way, if we are not to stray too far from the OP which is this "Is the Word of Faith movement biblical? Is it God's will for all Christians to be physically healthy and financially prosperous?"

....then the answer is quite simple, albeit contextual.

It's Gods' will that we dominate our environment.
the tool for domination is not set in stone.

A man washed unto an island would have no need for money. What he would require is good health, smart brains, hope, other people loking for him, perseverance, faith etc

Back to the discuss. Wealth and health are only some tools in dominating your environment. Your inquiry can be likened to asking this sort of question. "is it God,s will that every one lives?" It's what is done with life that matters. Not life itself

It is God's will that ALL humans dominate their environment. '

Christianity Etc › Re: What Does The Bible Say About The Prosperity Gospel? by esere826: 8:22am On Oct 24, 2015

OLAADEGBU:
What does the Bible say about the prosperity gospel? Is it God's Will for all Christians to be financially prosperous?

The Bible says little or nothing abut prosperity gospel or poverty gospel
However, the old testament is quite replete on stories of people who's God's blessing on them was financially measurable
The new testament on the other hand tends to narrate stories of people who God's blessing on them made them loose much financially.

So, is it God's will that all Christians be financially prosperous?
Is it God's will that we be financially bankrupt?
Is it God's will that we trim our beards?
Is it God's will that we pee in toilets instead of on the streets?

The answer to this is simple as the creation story. It is VOID i.e nothing

A prosperity or poverty gospel does not exist from God
However, if we choose to be prosperous, then nothing in this world or underneath it can stop us
Our choice, and the blessings from God to go ahead with it is what we usually package as prosperity gospel

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Did Jesus Fast? by esere826: 7:59am On Oct 24, 2015

[quote author=OLAADEGBU post=39154296][/quote]Why did Jesus fast for 40 days?

Some ideas

1) With regards to symbolism which I am no fan of
- Moses spent 40 years in Midian away from the lush pleasantness of Egypt unknowingly preparing for his task
-Moses spent 40 days up the Sinai neither eating nor drinking while receiving the 'law' on stone
-The journey of the israelites from Egypt took them 40 years in the wilderness

Perhaps Jesus in his own 40 days had the oppurtunity to meditatively write a newer law thereby fulfilling what was written
"This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts"

2) this is what I believe happened
The spirit drove Jesus to the wilderness under harsh conditions to wean him away from his comfort zone and give him a new sense of direction
Humans tend to continue doing what they've been doing until something catastrophic happens to change their direction of action
much like the earth will always rotate around the sun except an asteroid knocks it off to another galaxy

Towards the end of his meditative fast, he was burning with desire for what his goal was, plus he was very hungry
So Satan came with the 3 things that Jesus desired - miracle Food for his immediate needs; jewish public acceptance laced with miracles; and the world based on service.
