You, a christian? Your comments so far sounds like that of an atheist

There is something called an open-mind, you can't have it if you let religious prejudice cloud your judgment. But I'm still waiting for you to enlighten me on spiritual matters and be here to answer and question of mine that would follow. We could get a separate thread for that.

^^^^you had your opportunity to show me the light, but just as i expected you would lack the word power to express yourself. Claiming to have seen the light and being unable to lead another to it brings to the fore your high-level hypocrisy. It is Christians like you that create room for atheist to mock us.

Very ridiculous. That you can't hear from God doesn't mean others can't. smh@ quoting 50cent

If you know nothing about spiritual matters then hush.

There is a difference between most and all, you are letting your emotions get the better of you. I don't see anything wrong in quoting 50cent. I chose to use his words, I shouldn't act like they were mine, especially on a public forum.

I believe if I give you the time to educate me on spiritual matters, you would have a hard time doing that as you would lack the word power to convey your thoughts, especially when you have a poor grasps of the issue you intend to discuss.It not unusual to get your kind of reactions from Christians

kinethic: First and fore most There is God and Jesus is the son of God of whom whoever God calls and chose to reveal himself to through him would be saved.
Today more than 90% of what is preached today by most conflicting confused denominational fighting churches about the word of God is false. God is just being merciful to us.
The preaching of rapture ,going to heaven is a false and man made teaching.
When you truly want to know the truth you have remove every doctrine,all the the faith we have in men of God instead God himself and his word.
You must allow the Holy Spirit to teach you and let the bible interpret itself.
Having searched the scriptures and putting aside every tradition and doctrines .With the help of God through revelations.
God can't never allow any man in heaven. Jesus said that no man have been there except the son of man who came from heaven that is talkin about him. Also remember Satan sinned from point of perfection ,God have had enough of rebellion he won't take chances until in the process of time.
Jesus knew he was born to be king on earth infact that's the Gospel.The soon coming kingdom of God.
Today Christian's are too lazy with only assumption of believing and be saved. They neglect Obedience and righteousness to God thinking that they now perfect.
This the reason why many lukewarm Christians will be killed during the tribulation. While the obedient ones will be protected and not being Raptured as for the popular believe.
Friends there is no Rapture rather when Jesus returns those alive will become like him those who were killed both ancient days and those who were Luke warmed will resurrect first .
We will all meet The Lord in the air and make a U Turn back to earth.
He will stand on mount Olive after he must have destroyed the armies of the antichrist and two hundred million armies including the antichrist .
I live in Asia for many years now studying following events and prayerfully comparing issues around. I found out that China is preparing ,India,Russia and other Middle East countries will form alliance to destroy Jerusalem. Bare in mind that the present day ISraelites will be wiped off but only a third of them will remain.But in all these God will save them.
When Jesus starts his ruler ship headquartered in Jerusalem ,Christains would become rulers and teachers to many people.
There would be a great and mass reconstruction and relocation of people from dangerous areas with the supervision of the saints but with the Guidance of Jesus.
The ultimate purpose of we Christians is to reign on earth with Christ not in heaven. Heaven is the fathers throne and the earth is Christ .
But he will submit himself to God and all will after the millennium and the one hundred period of amnesty to every unbelievers even satan. They will resurrect and be given chance to believe in Christ .Some will and some will still reject Christ .
And the judgement of great white throne will begin aft 100 years of amnesty to those who haven't heard about Christ or the excuses of life issues when they were alive.
Satan will be destroyed forever and those unbelievers in the lake of fire.
So be not deceived we are not going to heaven rather here because word of God says that he has made the earth to be inhabited forever, the meek shall inherit the earth,I am returning with my reward , he went to prepare his cabinet for rulership in heaven and when he returns he will judge Christian's and reward us.
For example when you were a child your father goes to work in the morning and everyone would be waiting for his return later. Most of the time when he returns he comes back with some candy and toys. We all run out to meet him outside and next we walk back together into the house to get the share of the candy and toys he came back with.
The same applies to Christ we meet him and we stay here with him.
A true christain who wants to be protected in this terrible times and the soon coming tribulation must obey God and live a holy life.
Stop wasting time with the rapture theory you will be disappointed.
He said watch and pray for you to escape Ll these that will befall us like a thief in the night.
Study your bible,put off every tradition,bias or what your pastor have taught you and sincerely tell Holy Spirit to teach you.
We should pause and ask questions, look around us today you will know that Christianity is what it used to be.
A lot false prophets have creeped in and preaching another gospel.
This is a long write up but the truth GOd bear me witness that I was once ignorant about issue of heaven and hell until I seek him and read the bible with open mind.
I have a lot to say but time won't permit .As you read this may GOd give you understanding amen.

I really want to listen to all you have to say. I would love for you to support them with bible verses also. You can start a thread and drop the link to it here

Heartibaby: When you fall in love with someone, the prospect of spending forever with them is appealing. Hence the popular love quotes such as "love you forever and alway" and the likes. As a Christian I love God and the idea of spending eternity with Him and the family of believers whom I love appeals to me. He reveals himself to me in new refreshing ways everyday right now and I expect nothing less in eternity.

I don't believe that living for eternity entails giving up all pleasure here on earth. It only entails discipline and commitment which only makes you feel stronger and helps you impact your world more. The pursuit of happiness is a futile pursuit. I don't know whoever pursued happiness and found it. Pursue purpose instead and in fulfilling it you find satisfaction and fulfillment and joy which is better than happiness.

This leads to the burning question. How do you love someone you cannot/have not see(n)? Most people would love to argue that they have fallen in love with strangers on social media and the likes. If only most Christians would not take the hypocritical path, most of our relationships with God is actually a monologue. "Most nights I talk to God, but he don't say nothing back" - 50cent.

There nothing untruthful about tithing. Its a commitment btw God and his children. I will continue to tithe because I have found the secrets of abundance from tithing.

Moreover its not a difficult thing to do, and am also not a greedy person.

At the bolded is a fairy-tale.Do a case study with your fellowship and come back and tell us how many percent of your tithers who were not hard-working even saw "second class upper" on graduation. We are not to tithe on any grounds.

frosbel: Eternal life in a new heaven and earth , where there is no more death, pain or sorrow is the real deal.

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." - Revelation 21:4

My argument actually is that the tribulations and uncertainties of life is what makes it worthwhile.Like 50cent said " Sunny days wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain. Joy wouldn't feel so good, if it wasn't for pain." Absent the sorrow and pain, would it still be a great feeling? Would the "law of diminishing utility" not come into play after a while?

I have heard many believers say they live for the world that is to come and do not care about what happens in this world. While reflecting privately on my ideologies and perception of the world around me, I got thinking of the promise of "eternal life".

The movie "Shrek forever after" created a mental picture of what eternity would look like after he signed his deal with Rumpelstiltskin. All that kept coming to my mind was stagnation,no aging,same drill everyday (singing & praising God),and nothing outside this routine to look forward to. Then I also got thinking of the concept of a meaningful life. What do we live for? What gives our life a meaning? As a Child in primary school,looking forward to growing up was enough reason to live, it made everyday worthwhile and gave you something to look forward to (a future). As an adult looking forward to starting a family and achieving your dreams makes it worthwhile and a sense of purpose. As an old man, I believe seeing your children achieve their dreams and have kids.

Now back to the promise of eternal life. Is it that attractive? Or is it the fear of eternal damnation that scares you? I would love to have diverse open-minded perspectives on this. Share your thoughts..

When applying to a high ranking school, also apply to a middle class school in case dt one fails. U need a good GP, letter of intent, recommendation, etc you maybe surprised dt dt year, d no of 1st class they received applicatn frm surpass dt available slots, so where will a 3.9 fall in ? At times they may even deny 4.4 depending on d class of applicatn they received.
The good thing is dt after attending such schools, u will ever be proud of d school u attended. I think d school even ranks among best 50 or 100 in d world.

Hi mercy, good to have you coming around. I think they were referring to University of Northern British Columbia. UBC is very competitive. I believe its in same league with Mcgill and U of T.

(Forwarded Message to Surveyprof)


I do not want to bother with sending this post to Fx but to you since you appear more level headed than he is and that may be perhaps you are based here in Nigeria and can easily be fished out. I gave a 24 hr notice for the removal of my name and all other things tagging me as a scammer. I stated clearly that you had no proof but mere allegations made by someone whom i never met or did business with just that he requested something from me which after i gave him the price he never returned to me. You later went back to that thread where i was falsely accused and stated that you have contacted my accuser and requested for him to come to the thread and state his case. Below is that thread

https://www.nairaland.com/450805/pls-beware-damogul-he-fraudster#14603420

I did warn you that your now rush rush approach to do in 2013 what you ought to have done since 2010 and never did but went ahead to add my name to your "list of known scammers" would not stop the ultimatum i already gave. thread on NL below

https://www.nairaland.com/1142530/list-known-scammers-nairaland-pls

I later came on after the Wunmi allens case had dragged on for a while just to broker peace and show a better way of conflict resolution which is now very apparent to everyone as wunmi allen has begun refunding after i mediated and spoke with her. I was tagged an accomplice, a partner in crime, a scammer, amongst other derogatory terms. This is contained in this thread below

https://www.nairaland.com/1173970/scam-alert-omowunmi-allen-pre-order

I repeatedly insisted that my name be removed and all allegations on my person dropped until you conclude your so called investigations and if you find anything on me then you can scream all you want but all this fell on deaf ears. I then issued you with a 24 hrs ultimatum and also notified Seun, Naijacutee, FOD, Fxking2012 and Surveyprof of the action i would take at the expiration of this timeline. That timeline has elapsed and for the records I have notified my lawyers who in turn would notify the SSS and thorough investigations would commence and possible arrests and subpoenas.

It is still in my power to put a stop to this as i seriously wouldnt want to drag seun into all this. The principals here who happen to be Fxking2012 and Surveyprof must take down my tags and allegations forthwith. Otherwise i would not stay my hand. What i have just written was due to my legal teams advice as a last window as legal matters are pretty messy. This is all.

Why not wait for Wunmi to pay up before you start flexing muscles? The 21days is almost over, now you want to distract us with you supposed communications with the SSS. We are not gullible here like the general Nigerian public. You want to turn this investigation to another Farouk Lawan case? Let us conclude this one first and see that Wunmi settles her debt. I would like to know why you decided to post this here, why not deal with it on the thread you were accused.Are the accusations not independent of eachother?

Anybody that still feels he should tithe can continue practicing Judaism. Its always difficult to throw away a default position especially when you have been indoctrinated to do so all your Christian life.

P.S: Anyone who comes here to say God specifically instructed him/her to tithe should read up the mental condition called "schizophrenia"

Tenth of the spoils is the origin of tithe, don't let english confuse you.
Did God instruct Abraham to pay the tithes?
You are saying that God will not bless anyone that partakes in funding the church to help preach the gospel.
You are saying that God will not bless anyone that gives tithe to a church who later distributes the money to widows and needy in the society.
You are saying that God will not bless anyone that gives tithe to the church which can be used to offer free health care to the poor.
SMH

You do not know what churches do with their tithes, if you cant pay yours let others be.

You shouldn't let Jewish customs confuse you. Why stop at paying a tenth? why didn't you join Abraham in offering burnt offerings also? Keep allowing your advance fee fraud(tithe-preaching) pastor deceive you.

Tithes has absolutely nothing to do with the LAW.
Abraham, our father paid tithes to the high priest Melchizedek, showing us that this is a spiritual act of worship. This was centuries before Moses and the Law came into existence.
When you give your tithe, even though it is received and even spent by your pastor, reckon it a vow to God who is your true source.
If your Pastor unworthily uses the tithes like the children of Priest Eli who were using prongs to eat out of the sacrifial meet, God himself will judge him.
The people that sacrificed the meats eaten by Eli's children went home rejoicing, having fulfilled their obligation, they never went back to demand from the Priest, how the sacrifices were shared.

jmoore: @frosbel, why don't you take the lead? Do exactly what you have posted in your church.

Those who pay tithes also give to the needy.

I wonder how someone who doesnt know the origin of tithe will come and start screaming "mosaic law".
Abraham was the first person that paid tithe and no law commanded him to do so.

Leave everyone to pay their tithes where they deem fit and go back to bible school to understand the origin of tithe.

Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils of war. Please provide any bible translation where "this tenth" Abraham gave was actually called tithe.

Let me put present day tithing in perspective. Tithing is a membership criterion for administrative purposes and is not an instruction from God for present day Christians. Your Church needs money to operate and a sure way to get it is through tithing. So when next you pay your tithe know you as helping to keep your Church running and not attracting God's blessings. Tithing can been likened to paying dues in social clubs.
