Nyanabo2:


Confession is between you and God. Not you God and a third party.

The argument here is: If she did not confess her sins on the hospital bed before dieing, will God forgive her and put her name in heavenly list or not?

tobechi74:


He did not condemn Homosexuality either.

I have nothing against homosexuals

Christians should stop condemning them but if the homosexuals are Christians and other Christians believe they are sinners, then it means the confusion in the Bible is serious because both categories of Christians are backing up their stance with the same Bible.

delkuf:
Is that why you have been like this. sometimes it doesn't work like that

How does it work?

Give me practical and workable answer

Okuda:


the thief did not explicitly confess. he just believed Jesus is the son of God

So anyone that believes that Jesus is the son of God will automatically make heaven even if he is lieing, fornicating, stealing, cheating others, unfaithful to his spouse, drunk, etc?

Is that your point?

calebonuja:


There's Heaven and Hell as well and God's desire is that all make Heaven. However, it's up to you to accept and meet up to the conditions set by God, you have the Holy Bible and in it are the basic and crucial steps to be with God. Jesus remains the only Way, Truth and Life to access God the Father.

Please have you visited heaven or hell before to confirm?

Anyway, you have the constitutional right to hold unto your beliefs

If you're still leaving under your father's roof, you have to obey him

You can't be eating from your father's house and be forming Atheist or Agnostic. Even if you don't believe in the Bible, keep it to yourself as far as you're still depending on your parents

Go to church with your parents and pretend to like what happens there eventhough you don't

When you start earning your money and becoming independent, you can now become whatever you want

Joshmodest:


Valid point , but not all Unbelievers of Christianity lack morals ...
Thank you Madam !

Don't mind Christians

They like to judge people who don't believe what they believe even when the so-called unbelievers have good morals than their fellow Christians

Can't they just understand that some people are not Christians because they are not just interested?

This doesn't mean they are devils or evil. They don't just believe in what is written in the Bible and they have the right not to believe. Simple.

Nooil:



He is taking you on a journey. Don't worry, you'll be back.

I really hope so

I want to be a Christian but not by hearsay

I want to experience God personally

Until then, let me enjoy my unbeliever's freedom

dingbang:
there is just no fixed solution to stop masturbating, it is a process and experiences as one grows older in life makes him to stop.

An addict can't just wake up one morning and say, oh I want to stop masturbating and gbam, he thinks it is over, after two weeks he gets caught up with porn and fiam, he finds himself in the closet wanking.

He has to understand the reasons why he has to stop, coupled with one or two life encounters that proves to him the dangers of masturbating, only then will he adjust to the new normal.

OK Sir

What about baby Christians who are just trying to find their feet?

How are they supposed to discern and not be deceived?

mariahAngel:


Not if homosexuality is against the laws of the the land. He/she can't.

Of course, homosexuality is a crime in Nigeria and anyone practicing it here is a criminal, whether Christians, Muslim or pagan.

What I'm saying is that Christians should not always judge everyone using the Bible because everyone is not and will never be Christians

jmoore:


Then stick to human evolution that teaches Apes are your cousins.


No time for debate/argument.

I don't believe in evolution nor the Bible creation story

I just choose to believe in what I see daily and I'm sure I'm not breaking any law in the constitution jare

However, religion is confused especially Christianity because different churches have different beliefs and doctrines all backed up by the Bible. No unity at all.

Pentecostals believe Catholic, Jehovah Witnesses and white garment churches are not true Christians and will not make heaven

Jehovah Witnesses believe they are the only true Christians

Deeper Life believes they are the best

...and the discrimination continues

All of them support their doctrine and beliefs from the same Bible

Is this how they'll be able to convert unbelievers to Christ?

mariahAngel:


Let me explain this to you: Any so-called Christian who believes homosexuality is not a sin is not a Christian.
Homosexuality is not only a sin in the sight of God, it is also a sin to nature and to your body.

What about a case where the homosexual is not a Christian? Is he/she permitted to live his life provided he's not breaking the law of his country or whatever religion he belongs to?

Must everyone live according to the Bible manual eventhough they are not Christians?

dingbang:
fast and what?.. You make me laugh. You think the devil is a rookie?


Please op disregard all these people who have not had experiences but just churn out words because it is easy to type.

I only gave him my thoughts

You can give him a more practicable and lasting solution if you have it

The most important thing he has a solution to his problem

Joshmodest:

It is very unwise of you to think any body who doesn't agree with your concoted BS is a liar , cheat , debtor or hater , you notice I omitted the rest two things you mentioned , cos its pure crap ...
The world has morals , Christianity is not responsible for good behaviours ,cos all of you are not even Azikiwe like let alone Christ . Even before the white men came to brainwash people we've always had ethics ,.even more than what we see today , your pastor won't tell you that !!

Oga rest, I'm not a Christian

At least if it will take an unbeliever to preach to Christians to practice what they preach, then I will help them

I only want a better Nigeria

jmoore:


Anyone can use the Bible to back his/her points. That doesn't mean the Bible is confusion.


You the 'spectator' is confused because you don't know the truth about the Bible.

Even the Bible talked about Manipulators.

So what about situations where "manipulators" back up their points with clear Bible verses?

Religion is confused jare

mariahAngel:


You're the confused one here.
Stop trying to understand what you cannot comprehend.

I'm I lieing that some Christians believe that homosexuality is sin while others believe otherwise?

dingbang:
lmao.. And what about the times he is less busy? Dont you know the devil always comes at the weakest hour?

So he should fast and pray?

OK, OP fast and pray for 40 days and 40 nights

paulolee:

what about tha thief on the cross with Jesus? you expected him to come down from the cross and starts confession of his siins to those he offended??

But one of the thieves confessed (according to the Bible) and was saved.

The person in question did not confess by herself but the relatives intervened. It's not the same thing now

tobechi74:


The Bible was written by different persons from different culture and different life experience. Jesus warned against mixing old wine inside a new bottle ( mixing old testament teaching with his own teaching) but we did not heed to that warning . That is the beginning of confusion.As a Christian Jesus philosophy should superseded Moses philosophy.

Whenever one is certain ask WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

So is Jesus in support of homosexuality?

Splinz:

Prove that people are going to hell or are currently burning in hell fire.



Have you ever asked for prove? Perhaps it's time you find yourself a new teacher.

That's why I left Christianity

I don't understand why different Pastors and churches should be preaching different things, all backed up by the Bible

uniqueboi1:


Shut up. Are you God?

Can you Christians always express your opinions without insults?

I'm telling you that my Sunday School teachers used to teach that, so direct your anger to your religious leaders who are preaching that

I agree with all your points except the last one

No one is sure of afterlife just like no one knows when he will die

If God chooses that you make heaven (if there's any), you'll make it, otherwise, you're going to hell

I'm not an Atheist, nor a Christian but I've asked God to reveal Himself to me severally but all to no avail

I've fasted for days, prayed and lived a practical Christian life but I have not heard anything

I don't like dwelling on one thing forever when it looks like a futile journey so I had to give up on Christianity

If and whenever God chooses to reveal Himself to me, I'll be back.

Ask your Pastor jare.

We were not there when Jesus was born (if He even existed sef)

People who claim to hear from God should have the answers

I'm not a Christian but I support the OP 100%

Anything that will bring about a better society is welcomed

"Book of Life" indeed

Firstandonly:
I've have stayed away from masturbating for more than two weeks now and to be sincere my major challenge is fighting the withdrawal symptoms that comes with it....guys share how u where able to manage the withdrawal symptoms that comes with ur addiction

Get very busy with work

When you have so many tasks waiting for completion, your mind will rarely go there

Get busy


If you don't have much work to occupy your time, get engrossed with religious activities (if you're religious)

What prove do you have that it is God that is protecting Africa from being overtaken by COVID 19?

You mean the "All loving" God prefers to kill hundreds of thousands of people in USA, Brazil, etc but choose to spare Africa?

Or you mean that about 1million people that have died from COVID-19 deserve the hatred from God?

Such a loving God

If it changes or not, does it matter?

Science is still better because it keeps changing and expanding.

Science keeps solving problems in all facet of life while the "word of God" is doing nothing.

No

If she had any unconfessed sin before she died, she is going to hell straight, not minding if she's been righteous all along.

That is what my Sunday School teacher used to teach me.

Trousers for females is not a sin

Don't ask me for scriptural backup because I know that the ones who preach against it do not have any scriptural backing except that verse in Deuteronomy which has nothing to do with trousers.

I'm very sure that in those churches preaches against trousers for women, some female members wear tights and shorts under their skirts and gowns. What makes them different? Does tight not also have two legs?
