plaetton: So let get this straight. Jesus came to save the Jew, and Paul came to save the gentiles.
Wow. Now we two saviours.
Ok. This is new.
So that's why you insist that we should ignore Jesus's earthly ministry?
He he.
No wonder Christians are a very confused bunch

shdemidemi: Did Paul meet Jesus in his earthly ministry?

Christ said-
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

At this time you and I as gentiles were not part of the fold but before he died, some gentiles came to see him but Christ could not attend to them because he had to die for them to be saved--

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit

Christ sent his disciples but they could not do the job. So, he came up with a man called Saul that was an enforcer of the law of Moses.

Bro..read your Acts of Apostle, if you understand that book then you won't ask this sort of question.

shdemidemi: My God, I have never seen anything as shallow as this on this forum. How dare you say this rubbish, who told you how to be saved. If it was not for this man salvation would be for Jews only. Are you wiser than the scripture itself, this is a man that carried a new revelation he got from Christ to every end of the world. He was hated, was stoned was beaten and beheaded for you to be saved through Christ and you have the effrontery through ignorance to spit garbage. You irk me.

shdemidemi: As a christian, the scripture says we should follow Paul (not Peter,not James, Not John, not Jesus earthly ministry).

1 Corinthians 11:1
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

SeekingGod: Hy everyone

I was browsing on the net looking for hope and I found this site. It been a year since I was diagnosed with HIV, I am a 20year old student from South Africa. I am here with hope, I am asking for you prayers, God is a healer please pray with me to be healed.

Image123: When did you ask for God's forgiveness? i ask because it needs to be concurrent with your repentance. Also, what is delaying your repentance? Repentance is turning away from sin and a decision and determination not to sin again? (simply put).

I agree. Give thanks.
When I turn away from sin I ask forgiveness from the Father. The most High God. My turning away from sin delays my repentance, not my words. The Highest deals with the spirit not with eloquent words of man. He is the one that gives the spirit and if The Highest is pure then the spirits he gives is also pure.

In any case, I continue to ask the most high God for strength, health and wisdom. Sometimes for a little bit of wealth

Thanks for the encouragement.

Give thanks for the reasoning.

Image123: Repentance and Forgiveness are two separate things though they should happen concurrently. Forgiveness is what God does while repentance is what you do. So are you willing to ask Him to forgive your sins?

Oahray: to a human, yes. To another spirit, no.

Image123: Are you willing to ask Him to forgive your sins?

truthislight: There word God/lord is a title.

Image123: Then we shouldn't waste time discussing doctrine but your repentance. Do you believe that Jesus can forgive your sins?

peteregwu: Well firstly the God I know is Jesus nd nothing more. Jesus is my God. Jesus is not an image, status, or mary. He is God and we believe Him by faith. ncerning marriage, and what Jesus said about it is that it is between a man and a woman. And they have to stick together till death do them part.


Matthew 19:4-6, 9 KJV
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, [5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. [9] And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Oahray: the context of John 3:13 shows it was in reference to humans. Some translations even render it "No MAN..." instead of "no ONE". No human has ascended into heaven, but what of spirit creatures? In the Bible, angels used to come down to earth to deliver messages. Didn't they ascend back? Therein lies your answer. Satan isn't human. In any case, The events of the gospel of John preceeds the prophecies of Revelations (that foretells Satan's expulsion).

About the meeting, read Job 1:6 again. Satan entered in among them, uninvited. So God did not arrange a meeting with Satan as you implied.

Image123: are you born again?

ijawkid: And that is how the spirit,blood and water are one.............

Abi??.....

benalvino: meh the bible say they are false gods and in fact there are no gods except yhwh

Oahray: Lol, funny answers. Lemme share my opinion too.

Satan had not fallen before that account of Job. The setting of that meeting was heaven. The 'sons of God 'assembled before God (Job 1:6). The sons of God there mentioned refers to the angels of God. Satan used to be one, but the tone of the passage suggests he had already begun his course of rebellion and accusation of God's servants. Still, he had access to heaven.

When Jesus said (after the 70 disciples he sent reported having authority over demons by the use of his name) that he beholds Satan fallen like lightning, it was futuristic (Luke 10:17,18). It's like this...

Let's say in the next Nigerian presidential elections, you support APC (the coalition), while the results are being compiled, you hear that PDP has lost in Lagos, Benin and Kano, and you say: "PDP has lost this election already". It's not that the winner has emerged already, but you see the loss in those states as a beginning of something bigger.

Not until the Revelation 12:7-12 (set in 'The Lord's day' sometime in the future, at the time of its being written) is Satan, along with other angels that joined the rebellion, truly cast out from the heavens. From then on, there no longer was any place for them in heaven.

peteregwu: WHAT IS THE BLACK AND WHITE THING ALL ABOUT. When it comes to Christianity, God does not have anything to do with color. Whwhatever your your colour is nothing before God. What God wants and His will is for all to draw to Him through His son Jesus and become saved.

Image123: don't have an heart attack, i may yet say that. i thought as much, you would be lost for words. Why not go look for some article to copy and paste as reply like frosb?

plaetton: First you agree with me that Paul preached Jesus rather than the teachings of Jesus,then you say that I don't know what am talking about.

I think that is the difference between you and I. And also the real reasons why christianity is so hollow and contradictory. The very fact that you spend all your time on this forum to try to show what is true christianity and what is not highlights this contradiction.

What is more important in a religion, the message or the messenger?

In the case of Paul and the christianity he built and which you subscribe to, the messenger seems to be the religion, rather than the message itself.
This is where christianity got got lost, the moment you followed Paul to preach Jesus rather than to echo the teachings that Jesus supposedly came down to earth to teach.
So tell me, who really betrayed Jesus.
Are you a christian or a Pauline churchtian?

frosbel: Is this all you have to offer ?

smh.

bolaino: that's a good question, and that brings up another question, is hell fire a physical place or a spiritual place? that is if it exists,

enilove: The old testament made mention of hell.
Prov. 15:24 states "The way of life is above to the wise,that he may depart from hell beneath."
When you substitute hell for grave ,you will know ,for sure, that it is "hell" being refered to in that passage.

Isiah 5:14 - There4 hell hath enlarged herself,and opened her mouth without measure :and their glory.......shall descend into it."
Grave cannot be said to have been enlarged, since it is d same measurement for everyone.

Those 2 passages tells us that hell is mentioned in the old testament.

The reason God created hell was for Satan and the falling angels. God will also take " the unbelievers,the whoremongers,& sorcerers,d idolaters and all liars to hell for failing to repent from their wickedness.

Please, repent b4 it is too late and stop all these vain babblings which cannot change anything.Repent and escape for your life.

frosbel: A note of warning :

"18 I am warning everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If you add anything to them, God will add to you the plagues told about in this book. 19 If you take any words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from you your share in the tree of life. He will also take away your place in the Holy City. This book tells about these things." - Revelation 22:18-19

bolaino: hell fire is a deep pit or a lake filled with fire, where people will burn for all eternity, asin like 4 billion gazillion years,

hisblud: In other words, if the Supreme Court judge orders the death of another, is he INFLUENCED by the murderer?
