Religion / Re: What Does It Mean To Work Out Your Salvation With Fear & Trembling In The Bible? by Firstandonly(m): 3:35pm On Jun 23, 2019
Waylex21:


Salvation is by grace, which means it's the work of God. However, we have our part to play in it as well. James 2:14-16 makes us realise that good works must accompany our faith which is a gift in the first place. It's based on these that the judgement of God will anchor. Do not forget the words of Jesus in Matt. 7:21-22 that not all who call Him will be saved but those who DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER.....
there are thousands of verses in the Bible that command a Christian to live right but putting grace and work together will not take u to heaven ROMANs 11 Vs 5 -6

do u even know the will of God? JOHN 6 Vs 40 says "AND THIS IS THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME,that everyone who seeth the Son, and beliveth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day

fydence:
Simple scenario please: I give my life to Christ today and tomorrow I slept with my neighbour's wife and died on top of her...

Question : Am I going to heaven?

Question 2: 1 Cor 9:27 What did Paul mean by being a Castaway?

question 1. u just mentioned one sin that u think is big enough to send someone to hell. but read revelation 21 Vs 8. God mentioned lying along side murderer and idolaters among sin that will take a person to hell fire, a lair is as guilty as you been on top of ur neighbor. God has lay down punishment for believes and unbelievers who sin but believers will face more because they are meant to be light of the world.
.....to ur second question. what Paul was saying is that same thing as (php 2 Vs 12) that says work out ur salvation. let me explain this, u only workout ur salvation for men to see, if i come to u dress as a pastor and then tell u that am a footballer will u believe me? the only way a believer can lead unbeliever to Christ is by living a good live. that why paul was saying that he brings his body to subjection lest that by any means, when i have preached to others, i myself should be a castaway

Dafemich:
I read the first thread, I didn't go through the rest. Recently, I start writing a book concerning your stand, but I stop after almost concluding it. I love the Lord Jesus, and I want to make heaven, so I don't to do any wrong thing. Am really confused presently. I don't know if what am writing is the right thing. I don't know am being led by the Spirit of God to write it. so I stop. Don't you think one can really lose his salvation? If I fall into sin, shouldn't I be condemned. I don't know. Am really serious. this is what is happening with me presently.
Christ said, he is a good shepherd and that the sheep his father has given him he will never loose it. also when the children of Israel sin in the wilderness God wanted to destroy them but Moses ask God to pluck out his name from the book of live for their sake but God refuse. once save for ever save. can ur repellious son stop being ur son? the answer is no. when a believer sin he looses fellowship with God and also we loose rewards in heaven, when that believe die he goes to heaven not because of his good life but because he believed and also believer who live in sin will not reign with Christ at the last days. so my dear brother believing those not mean we are free to live anyhow because we have a lot of things to loose. believe me or not I've notice that most true believer who live in sin don't live long

From FeedMeJesus.com

Philippians 2:12 is one of the most highly misunderstood verses of the scripture. This wouldn’t have been so if we had never mastered the act of lifting scriptures out of context and making it say what it was never meant to.

In a bid to discredit and prove the Truth of eternal salvation wrong, most people have greatly misconstrued this beautiful verse of the scripture.

(Php 2:12) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

What was Paul the apostle trying to say here? What does this verse really mean?

First, unlike what is popularly believed out there, this verse isn’t asking you to work for your salvation. It said work it out.

I really need you to understand that to work out your Salvation is not the same as working for it. When people read this verse, they often make the mistake of thinking they are the same. They think the verse is asking you to do something (good things) in order to produce or receive your own salvation.

This is a very wrong notion because as important as our good works are, they count for nothing when it comes to being a criteria for salvation. They cannot merit or provide that wonderful experience for us. That is why Salvation is a gift.

(Eph 2:cool For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

(Eph 2:9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.


As a matter of fact when it comes to Salvation, our good works (self righteousness) are counted before God as used or dirty sanitary rag.

(Isa 64:6) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

It is that useless when used as a criteria for receiving Salvation. This is why Salvation is a complete gift of God’s grace received only by Faith. Not merits.

The statement “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” was an apostolic instruction Paul gave to the Philippian church, charging them to live uprightly as those who have received God’s salvation already within their spirits.

He wasn’t asking them to live uprightly in order to receive salvation. That is to work for it. He was asking them to live uprightly because they have been saved already. The next verse to that one throws more light, take a look at it.

(Php 2:12) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

(Php 2:13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.


God works within you so you let the world see it. Let what God has done within you reflect on the outside. In your words and conducts. Since you are saved, live like it.

The instruction is similar to what Jesus said to His disciples after calling them the Lights of the world.

(Mat 5:14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

(Mat 5:15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

(Mat 5:16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.


So as Christians, the whole of Philippians 2 encourages us to live the life of Christ on the earth. Not so as God would pat us on the back and offer us His salvation as a reward for our good living. It is simply because we have already received that Salvation as a gift, empowering us us to live righteously in this crooked world.

It is like the popular song, “Let the world see Jesus in your eyes….” How can they see Jesus in your eyes or life if you don’t already have Him living within you? How can you work out your salvation if you don’t already have that salvation given to you?

You have received the workings of God within you (Salvation) so you let it reflect in your lifestyle (work it out). That is what Philippians 2:12 is saying, not the other way round.

I hope this blesses you.

Glory to God, our Saviour and King!

Health / Re: Nigerian 'Coutinho' Slumps, Dies While Playing Football, Buried (Disturbing Pix) by Firstandonly(m): 5:00pm On Jun 21, 2019
JubrinElSudan:
They say Sports/Exercise is good for the body, why then do people slump and die while jogging or playing football? Is it a case of too much of everything is bad?
sports/exercise is good for the body. people slump and die is due to Arrhythmia..(heart that coordinate heartbeats are not working properly)For a person with a healthy heart, they should have a heart rate of between 60-100 beats per minute when resting.
The more fit a person is, the lower their resting heart rate.
Olympic athletes, for example, will usually have a resting heart rate of under 60 beats per minute because their hearts are very efficient. A number of factors can cause the heart to work incorrectly, they include:
alcohol abuse
diabetes
drug abuse
excessive coffee consumption
heart disease like congestive heart failure
hypertension ( high blood pressure )
hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland)
mental stress
scarring of the heart, often the result of a
heart attack
smoking
some dietary supplements
some herbal treatments
some medications
structural changes of the heart.
The following tips may help to lower the heart rate in the long term:
exercise, limit alcohol intake, eat healthy, Limit intake of stimulants, such as caffeine and nicotine

Why are young men like this wasting their precious time coin nothing let's check the facts;

Anyone who's into internet fraud cannot run any business competently. No matter how much they put into it. Their spending pattern is greatly different from business people. that's to say they can't save. anytime the system outsmarts their fraudulent act, they are left with nothing. imagine habit a family to cater for with no tangible source of income.

The best is to hustle legally to lay a foundation. Even if you don't get to drive the best cars now,if your foundation is right, someday your seeds would rule the earth.

Business / Sharp Prepares To Pull Plants Out Of China To Avoid New U.S. Tariffs by Firstandonly(m): 11:45pm On May 28, 2019
Sharp is taking the action to protect itself against the U.S. government’s imposition of additional tariffs on Chinese goods. If the increased tariffs are applied to Sharp’s products, the firm said it will relocate the plants.

The U.S. government said earlier this month that a “fourth shot” will be taken in its expanding trade war with Beijing, in which the country will slap further tariffs on China’s goods, including daily commodities such as mobile phones and TVs.

That would mean almost all items exported from China to the United States would be hit with the increased tariffs.

Sharp said it will consolidate its plants for multipurpose machines in China and Thailand being made for the United States, into its plants in Thailand.

Sharp is also considering transferring its Chinese plants for producing personal computers for the United States to Taiwan or Vietnam.

Manufacturing bases in China for making liquid crystal panels including electronic blackboards operated by Sharp’s Taiwan parent company, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., will move to Hon Hai plants in Mexico.

The products Sharp exports from China to the United States account for only 3.8 percent of Sharp-labeled goods on the global market.

Dai said transferring the production bases to other countries will lower the degree of adverse impact on Sharp from the U.S.-China trade conflict.

Dai added it benefits Sharp that the U.S. government prohibited U.S. companies from exporting their products to Huawei Technologies Co., China’s largest communication device manufacturer.

“This is the positive impact (from the U.S.-China trade conflict),” Dai said.

“We will grab the market share (from Huawei Technologies) and gain momentum from the event to expand Sharp,” he added expressing the company’s intention to surpass its rival in marketing smartphones and communications devices.

Dai also clearly stated he will remain chairman until fiscal 2021, as how long he would stay at Sharp had been attracting speculation.

Dai said candidates to succeed him as president of Sharp will be “under consideration in an open manner among those within and outside the company.”This policy differs from what Dai had planned. Previously, he intended to choose one of Sharp's co-CEOs for the position.

Dai will also return to Hon Hai Precision Industry’s management team since its current chairman, Terry Gou, has stepped down to run in Taiwan’s presidential election.
Science/Technology / How China And The US Could Divide The Internet For The Rest Of The World by Firstandonly(m): 11:35pm On May 28, 2019
The concept has been dubbed the “splinternet,” and it refers to a future in which the internet is fragmented, governed by separate regulations and run by different services.

A unified definition is still unclear, but one suggestion is that the future could see Chinese and American apps and services each dominate half of the internet. That concept was the topic of much discussion at the
World Economic Forum
in Davos, Switzerland, last month.

And while there may be two internets coming, “it will not be China and the rest of the world. It will be China and countries that adopt Chinese apps, and countries that adopt American apps,” Kaifu Lee, the CEO of China-based venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures, told CNBC at Davos.

“While Chinese apps will have a hard time getting adopted in U.S. and Europe and English-speaking countries, I think they’re proving their rapid acceptance in India, Southeast Asia, South America, Middle East and even a little bit in Africa . So I think in five years, if you look at all the people in the world that took their phone and counted how many Chinese apps and American apps, I’d say it would be fifty-fifty,” added Lee, who prior to his current job was the head of China for GoogleGOOGL.
Both the U.S. and China have been aggressive in developing AI, and recent findings show a split between the U.S and China when it comes to patent filings.

A study from the U.N. World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) published last week found that American firms IBMIBM and MicrosoftMSFT are the two organizations in the world with the most AI-related patent filings. But among research groups and universities, Chinese organizations hold 17 of the top 20 spots in terms of total patent filings.
