brother did you really stop masturbating,plz tell me how,mine has bn a big challenge,I really want to stop bt I cant

My bro, humanly speaking on your own you cant stop it...seek God, HE's the only one that can get you out of it.

CrazyQuinn:
No!

Ok.

CrazyQuinn:
It looks like God was too stupid to add sense of humour to the ladies

With all due respect, modify this your statement ma'am.

YorubaDemon:
more

And what's wrong with it, you dnt have respect for God and his servants ba…you even posted pastor mike winning's picture here, Chai, may God have mercy on u.

Another dumb question from a man who is tossed by every wind of doctrine....the people that gave half of their salary to their pastors, did they tell you they dnt get blessed by God?..you know the story of abraham and melchizedek i guess?...stop asking stvpid questions, go and read your bible

marvelck:
Who can you say loves you more between your family and your girlfriend or boyfriend? Most girls usually believe their boo loves her more than her family. That's why you see a lot of girls ditching her family cos of her guy. Ignoring them while listening and doing only what her boyfriend tells her to do. Behaving like someone under a spell. I can't imagine how your boyfriend or girlfriend would love you more than someone that has the same blood with you. Your own siblings, someone you grew up with and share so much in common with. A boyfriend or girlfriend can abandon you tomorrow, but your family would never do such in most cases. Though some families/siblings are something else, but family will always be family. When you are hurt by your boo or bae, who do you turn to for succour? Your sister, brother or parents!

You answer first

I love high life music...esp this song, ebi se na se, jori mi jo mi jo..

Btw, i thought today is sunday

jcross19:
the question is true. It has turn tradition in nigeria particularly that pastor "must" wear suit on every sunday for preaching that's dressing code for a nigerian pastor now if I may ask why are they rejecting our own native attires but opt for english ones ? Is it not mental slavery?.

Our priority is to make heaven...you chosed to put yourself in that mental slavery....i believe they wear your native attires at home and in their offices...so, this questionis floored before me gaining with it's irrelevancy.

Hmmm

UncleSnr:
When your church/mosque is on fire what do you do:
1. Call fire fighters?
2. Pray for the fire to stop?

Please your response will help us a lot

Common sense conotes that you call fire service first while praying....all these mumu questions you guys bring here just to stir up controversies and critizism, God gave you brains to think and act wisely...you'd can pray when you have no choice or alternative...get this now

lilyheaven:
is smoking weed a sin?

A VERY MUNDANE CAPITAL SIN, i believe you have a pastor or spiritual head, go ask him.

Mrdecent:
Some churches make it a rule that you must be on suit while ministering. My question is why not in our native attire? Is there any sin in promoting our own in the house of God?

Lalasticlala please let the pastors in the house give us insight

This is why king solomon said in eclesiastes that when you go to church, pay more attention to the word/preaching, than to give the sacrifice of fools....some people esp the atheist go to church to look for any slight thing they will use to critisize the church and pastors...remove your eyes from the messanger and what the pastor is wearing and fix your eyes on jesus the author and finisher of your faith...a pastor must nt always wear suit, if he choses to, then that's his choice.

menxer:
Like seriously? God instructed christians in the old testament?

Paying tithe is like paying tax, it is to keep the system running, it has nothing to do with securing your fortune or future.

look for this movie 'Gods of Egypt' and watch.

Smh, i 've already known who you are and where you are coming from....i just qouted where it is in the bible, instead of you to read it so to gain adequate knowledge you are refering me to go watch one nonsense movie…stop eating your tithe my brother...na just 1/10 of your income.


Have a happy sunday.

When God wants to lift a man he breaks protocol and by passes man's orders...and you should be humble heartedly willing to obey men of GOD...Even when idahosa prayed in jesus name, the young dangote was discerning enough to utter "amen" even as a muslim...i'm not surprised why even in this economic recession he(dangote) is flourishing the more...and i was told that he gave adeboye trailer loads of rice for his programme sometime ago...Godbless dangote the more...God is never partial, HE will never withhold any good thing from those who love HIM.

Truthman83:
How did you know Sir?

Lol, see question, e nor dey your bible??

Zedoo:
I don't drink...but you are the biggest liar EVER!!!!

the wine in the wedding Jesus performed his first miracle was it non alcoholic wine?
Chai see where people dry mislead people!!!!

You are the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen!!!

The wine David drank and danced his heart out to God was it non alcoholic?

The WINE Jesus served up during the last supper was it non-alcoholic?

Chai Nigerians!!! Europeans introduced Christianity to us and are still practicing it the way it should be (for them who do) in Nigeria we have turned it into all manner of misleading things!!!! Turning the bible on its head!!

You are a liar!!!!


The only time alcohol is a sin is when uts excess and makes a man fool around....
Go and read ya gadamn bible....

God just dey look Una dey chose parts of bible wey Favour Una! Dey throway the rest!...

I repeat you are a liar! And heaven sees I don't even drink! Your lies stink!!!!

Lol, i dnt blame you sha, it's what the university and the present day so-called scholars has injected into you guys that's making you to be this spiritualy blind....see how you are sounding so physical, empty and natural...david was led by the spirit to dance to the lord, and by one step of the dance he took he slaughtered a ram for the lord, the wife peeping through the window critisized him and God blocked her womb,,,she was the only barren woman in the history of the barren women in the bible...sarai born, hannah born, and others, even elizabeth sef born....instead of you to argue what you dnt knw ask me questions make i help you my brother.

jiggaz:
What do you say to the parents of a Christian teenager who has just killed himself? I faced this situation several years ago and, I have tell you, it’s not easy. Premature death is hard to handle at any time but suicide leaves loved ones bewildered at its senselessness.

It seems the subject of suicide is one of those sensitive issues that Christians don’t like to talk about. That’s probably because most of us don’t have anything good to say! Ask a believer, “What happens to Christians who kill themselves?” and you’ll likely get one of the following responses:

1. They go to hell because they never repented for the sin of murder.

2. It’s not up to us to judge – we don’t know what happens
.
3. It’s a grave sin but God will somehow take care of it in his mysterious ways.

None of these responses brings much comfort to those who are left behind. But happily none of these responses is true! Let’s compare each response with what the Bible says.

What does the Bible say about those who commit suicide?

First, do people who commit suicide go to hell? Not if they’re saved. Revelations 21:8 tells us that the lake of fire – whatever that is – will be full of murderers. But you don’t end up in the lake of fire because you are a murderer (see Rev 20:15). If murder sent you to hell, King David would be a goner. But it doesn’t and he isn’t.

But didn’t God say, “Thou shalt not murder”? He did – it’s the sixth commandment and part of the law. Do you know what the penalty for law-breaking is? Jesus said anyone who breaks the law is in danger of hellfire (Mt 5:22). But his words were directed to those who were born under law – not you (Rm 6:14). When Jesus went to the cross he fulfilled the requirements of the law on your behalf so that you might live free from its curse. Don’t look at your own obedience for salvation; look at his. On the cross Jesus carried the sins of the world and now you are completely and eternally forgiven .

But what about repentance? Don’t we have to repent in order to receive forgiveness? Isn’t this the stumbling block for those who kill themselves – that they never repent? No. We are not forgiven on the basis of anything we do or don’t do. We are forgiven because of what Jesus has done:

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. (Eph 1:7)

In God’s eyes you are forgiven whether you repent or don’t repent. To say, you must repent to be forgiven , is to cheapen the riches of His grace. The blood of Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world – including the unrepentant and suicidal (1 Jn 2:2). This isn’t to say that the whole world is saved, for we all need to respond to the grace of God by faith (Eph 2:. Everyone is forgiven but not everyone has received the gift of his righteousness (Rms 1:17). But we are talking here about people who are saved when they die.

Can a Christian nullify God’s forgiveness by committing suicide? No – it’s impossible. God’s gifts are irrevocable.
Second, to say, “we don’t know what happens to Christians who kill themselves” merely reveals an ignorance of God’s promises. We do know what happens. They go to be with Jesus (Jn 3:16, 14:3). Some say that “suicide is a grave sin.” Is there any sin that’s not?

The good news is that God’s grace is greater than our gravest sins; His best is better than our worst (Rms 5:20). Just as we are not qualified by our good deeds, neither are we disqualified by our bad (see Col 1:12). We were condemned by Adam’s disobedience but now we have been justified through Christ’s obedience:

So then, just as sin ruled by means of death, so also God’s grace rules by means of righteousness, leading us to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rms 5:21, GNB)

Third, to offer vague comfort by saying, “God will take care of it in some mysterious way,” is to insult the finished work of the cross. Take care of it? He already did! He came and died and rose again that we might have resurrection life:

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” (Jhn 11:25)

Look closely at this promise of Jesus and see if you can find any conditions pertaining to the means of death. There are none! The way in which you shrug off your earth-suit has absolutely no bearing on his promise of resurrection life. Whether you die in a house fire, from an over-dose, or go down with the Titanic, Jesus said, He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.

The main thing

For those who are left behind, suicide hits like a Mack truck. But allow me to bring some perspective to this issue. The single most important fact of your life is not where you were born or how you die, but whether you believe in Jesus – whether you have put your trust in him and confessed him as Lord.

You can be born a prince and die on a field of glory, but unless you know Jesus it’s all for naught. Conversely, you can be born a nobody and die a nobody but if Jesus knows you, all is eternally well! If you have lost someone to suicide and they belonged to Jesus, all is not lost! You will be with them again. Believe what God has promised and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

It is beyond the scope of this post to discuss those things that might drive a believer to suicide. Perhaps you find it inconceivable that someone acquainted with the goodness of God would ever consider ending their lives. But only God knows the depth of pain that some of our brothers and sisters have to endure in this world.

The teenager I mentioned at the top of this post took his own life because he was the ongoing victim of a sexual predator and he could see no other way out. Who am I to say that I would’ve chosen differently if I had been in his shoes? I’m not trying to justify suicide. I’m saying I can’t condemn those who, for reasons I cannot fathom, choose death over life.

It’s too late to help that young man but it’s not too late to comfort his parents and those of you who’ve lost loved ones to suicide. Maybe you have heard words of condemnation or hollow comfort. Maybe you’ve been be told that the one you lost is lost for eternity. If so, I encourage you to find rest in the grace of our loving Father and to cultivate the same conviction as Paul:

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rms 8:38-9)

https://escapetoreality.org/2011/07/04/what-happens-to-christians-who-commit-suicide/

Wow, this long epistle for just this simple question??,,,you 've already answered the question when you said "they go to hell because they commit murder and did not repent from it"....the world of God is straight and simple but human philosophers and suit sayers have now modified it qouting scriptures out of contex just to balance their selfish and self centered life....in exodus chapt 20, one of the 10 commandments is "thou shall not commit murder"...you sin when you commit murder because the life you took is not your own.

Truthman83:
The stories I was taught me in Sunday School seemed a little odd: God turning Lot's wife into a pillar of salt just for turning around at the wrong time. Jonah being swallowed by a fish. I doubted a person could survive long in a fish. How would they breathe? And Jesus dying for my sins and rising again, all before I was even born. The New Testament turned out to be almost 2000 years old; that's hardly what I considered “new”. Even as a kid I could see that the technological and scientific progress since then probably shed a new light on the interpretation of biblical events.

The bible is about 2000 years old, and the world is no longer the same as used to be. Slavery is abolished, gay marriage is legal, and the Christian faith is split into dozens of different denominations. Everyone interprets the bible differently because it is so old. If the bible were to be updated, everyone could see it in the same way. Otherwise the bible will just fade into the past, and Christianity will end up like the old Norse, Greek, and Egyptian religions.

The Bible, in Revelation, clearly states that nothing is to be added to or taken away from it. Meaning killing of gays,newly wedded who ain't virgin,rape, slavery must go on. This is why this book must be abolished. Am I wrong brothers and sisters?

Don't you dare compare God and things of the world, are you that spiritually blind that you cannot know that God never grow old and that heaven and earth shall pass away but one jot of His world shall never pass away??

you can't advice me to quit what I have never done my beloved brother. thank you

ThankGod for your life.

aribitoye:
Morning nairalanders, I want to ask a question: Can one's tithe be acceptable even if one is living in sin? The reason I asked is because of our pastors these days that preach that we should pay tithes but don't tell us the conditions of its acceptance.
please useful contributions, please.

God instructed HIS people in malachi 3 vs 10...so, tithing is strictly for christians and those who believe in HIM.

IMASTEX:
I have had many occasion of presenting this question to severe persons before but their responses have not been satisfactory. So, I decided to present the question here for clarity and better understand. Please, I want to know with possible illustration and example (biblical) the difference between the body, spirit and soul. If someone dies, which of the units goes to God and what happens to the remaining units. And finally, which is more supreme among them all.

I await your enlighten comments. Thanks!

Ezekiel chapt 18, i think from verse 18, reads, the soul that sinneth it shall die....human beings are inhabitted with the spirit, soul and body...what happens to you when you die is, the spirit God breath into you in genesis (1 vs 27-30) goes back to HIM...the soul waits for judgement and your body decays in the sand....Stay blessed.

bullseye90:
I just relocated to a new area to be closer to work. As a good Christian I sought out the branch of my church (name withheld ). I have worshipped in this church for sometime now but always feel uncomfortable when its sermon time.

Preaching is hell because of sluggishness and boring nature of preaching. The most annoying part is the blunders. at tyms u wonder if d pastor is not knowledgeable of bible stories. the problem is he will read from the bible and still keep repeating the same blunders thereafter. how can u say David was called three times wen he was asleep? gosh it was Samuel that was called! A day old child knows that. others blunders include switching of biblical characters. a story might involve Saul as d main role n u keep mentioning David repeatedly. if it was once it is pardonable but its too frequent. it shows he does not have adequate knowledge of it....pardon my rash judgement.

now the question is "should I stay put or is it right to change church due to this blunders which make me not feel comfortable to digest the word in church". Please I need your advice.

Instead of you to stay affar of and critizise why not go close to know why things are like that or berra still assume the pastors position since you are so learned without flaws.

kingui:
