Thanks for ur clarifications on bible and church doctrines. Well put. But then, the foundation of church practise n rules should be the bible, wont you agree. Also if Xtians should blindly follow their leader without their own convictions, wouldnt that be hypocritical & dangerous?
Billy Graham would never ride in a car alone with a lady xcpt his wife - shd we condemn him for that & does it make him less a Xtian? esp as many see nothing
bad in it

@ricadelide
would you be kind enough to mention some of those unscriptural rules in Deeperlife so we can amend our ways & get back to godly paths.
As an aside, would it be ok for me to drink beer esp as the bible did not mention beer drinking? No offences meant pls

Do pray veracious forgive me for the mix up. Your points are noted @ ricadelide. Quite a number of us, Deeperlife or not, do have personal convictions on the evil of tv, among others & I believe I'm a Xtian - & God would be displeased if I keep same in my house.
@topic
youths leave Deeperlife for varied reasons just as other youths come to Deeperlife for diverse reasons. Ephesians 4:1-7, 17-24; (also 25-32).
Let us all note Ephesians 5:1-17

She, together with her mother, raised her kid in a godly way. What's her name?
Q2 he was a rebel with a cause, yet Jesus made him one of His initial 12 disciples. Who is he?
Q3 Whom did Jesus call that became the 12th apostle after Judas' death?

yes, Olowotee, I think backslider is usually misunderstood in his many posts which I read also.
@veracious
it may interest you to note that there are a great many churches - some are in Nigeria too - that dont support television. Pastor M Daoud, an American evangelist calls it the devil's box. He also does not listen to radio (dont know if he's still alive). Deeperlife doctrines are clear and bible based - perhaps u can point out the errors

Unlocking the Car

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door.

As I watched from the passenger's side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered it was open.

"Hey," I announced to the technician. "It's open!"

"I know," answered the young man. "I already got that side."

The Big Storm

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"

The mother smiled. "I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room."

The little boy replied with a shaking voice, "The big sissy!"

Falling in love on the phone.

Interesting world!!!

No where in the bible that Jesus had a (supposed) lover
No where in the bible where the apostles hated an incredibly sexy woman-I sense mischief here
I do not know what you mean by 'Jesus gave her one'
Being a bible quiz thread, perhaps you may want to mention, dear reverend, what 'bible' you use. Except of course, you are an atheist wanting to ridicule christianity - in which case, you've made your point. Do have a pleasant week kind sir

@atutupoyo
that's true but I would rather you said Elimelech's family. Ruth 1:1-5
Q1 nko? Moses

1. Grew up with a silver spoon, but he preferred the drudgery of the downtrodden. Who was he?
2. To avoid the economic crisis in their country, this family migrated to another country - only to face worse calamities. Which family is this?

Noted pilgrim1. Only thing is I find the threads in this board to be recycled as many of them have been exhaustively treated before.
If only people have the patience to go back to earlier posts, perhaps they would have found it unnecessary to repeat. I find the repetitions boring - but then you are doing great with your posts. You remind me of havila, goodguy et al who have practically disappeared.
Do have a great weekend m'lady

widow of Nain's son - luke 7:11-15;
lazarus - john 11:38-44
Jairus' daughter - mark 5:22,23,35-43
Jesus also raised Himself from the dead, but I dont know if you had that in mind also

spot on pilgrim1 - you've been missing for a long time.
I guess I shd apply the brakes for now so others can ask their questions. Be cool

lol kellorah, nope.
Let's see if anyone will come up with the answer
cheers

yep kellorah, HE was pleased with them. Care to give the answer?

Thanks Olowotee, thought the folks were getting tired.
Q: God sent His prophet to this family with an express command. They disobeyed, and God was pleased with them. Who are these people and quote the ref pls

Herodias, The daughter's name is not mentioned.
matt 14: 1-12
Now we can formally close the thread as nobody is apparently interested in it.
sighs , and signs off

Pilgrim1 - your answer to the 1st question is right.
To the second one, I had Manasseh in mind - 2chronicles 33:1-7, 12,13
Q: her bad influence made her child a satanic instrument to cause the death of the greatest prophet of all time. Who was she & what was the child's name?

cgift, noted.
i shall wait for another person to confirm that the questions are difficult b4 I proceed to give the answers - this quiz shd not die o.
Pilgrim1, Oladeegbu, Olowotee, etc, where are you? have you given up on the thread already?

Hello m'hearties,
is no one interested in the quiz again? or are the questions difficult?
This silence is quite discomfitting

Drinking urine is not supported by scriptures. Give the reference
2. This king practiced occultism for decades, among many evils - yet when he turned to God in repentance, God forgave him. Who was he?

@Olaadegbu
I had answered ur question on the 1st surgical ops - see post 193 - apparently you overlooked it. Anyway, genial has answered it again.
Also, I asked 2 questions; you answered one correctly. But the second still stands:
How many yrs had Joseph spent in Egypt b4 making himself known to his brethren?

Pilgrim1 - you are correct. Psalm 41:9; judas. I had thought that would take a long time in getting. You are a blessing.
Q: at what age was Joseph when he made himself known to his brethren in Egypt? And after how many years was that?

Adam.
Your answer to mine is wrong. Phil 4:19 does not refer to 419 if you follow the (aforementioned)definition of what/who a 419 is.
My question therefore still stands. Where did the Bible talk of 419 and who was it referring to?

If 419 is a situation whereby someone, after earning your trust, turns around to defraud and go against you;
Q: where did the bible talk abt 419 (give refs pls) and who was it referring to?

Hmmm, quite interesting post there. But then, how would you explain Heb 1:8,9 which Paul quoted from Psalm 45:6,7 ?
Also who was God referring to when He said 'let us' in Gen 1:26?
(Still using my mobile to browse so the length of my post is greatly ltd)
I say that Jesus was in physical existence with the Father and the Holy Spirit contrary to what you'd have pple believe - Heb 1:4-6 doesnt support ur postulation;
Pls read it again carefully

A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars:

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead
Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead
Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation -

What can you learn from this demonstration?

Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,

"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"

That pretty much ended the service.
