It's painful for anyone to lose a child, and before we continue I share my condolences with anyone reading this who may have lost a child, there maybe no sufficient words to comfort you but I pray you find comfort and heal. While for those who may be considering an abortion, for different reasons, well I hope you learn a thing or two about the life growing inside you before you make that decision. You see the question or questions above maybe avoided by many because of how they understand and preach salvation. Well for me salvation is about our souls and not our present physical bodies. Now if salvation is about the soul and not our physical body, when then does a human develop a soul? Are we born with it, conceived with it? What is a soul? How is it formed? Answering these question would help solve does an animal have a soul, does an unborn child have a soul? Or does not having a soul make one animal, if we say animals don't have souls? Is what is growing in your womb just a mass of flesh and blood? I know some don't believe in the spiritual or anything like souls and to them humans are just a higher animal and such understanding as it relates with our physical being is valid. And to such people I ask 'what if there is a soul', something beyond the physical? Because frankly, a number of things also different humans from animals as well. To those who believe there are souls I say, look, 'people can't value what they don't know nor understand', so to be able to tell "people what does it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul" we should be able to tell and teach people what the soul is. Because how many of you reading this know what a soul is? Though many out of us who don't know what a soul is, may have already decided whether abortion is not a sin or that abortion is a sin. We need to make a knowledge decision not based on our personal preferences. Some of us may have heard some say they saw children in hell or that they saw children in heaven, now regarding this I ask, do all children go to heaven or do they all go to hell? Or if you say some go to hell, while some go to heaven, the question then for you is, why do some go to heaven and why do some go to hell? Surely the good news isn't just for adults, is it? Have you ever seen a three year old argue about salvation, okay let me say a five year old? Not sure what the difference to you would be but both are children and when you listen and read some of the complex teachings about salvation you wonder when you see a little children, can this child be saved? For example, some say, if you are not baptized in the Holy Spirit you cannot be saved, I for one have never seen a five year old speak in tongues not that I am limiting the baptism to tongues but is such a condition for salvation taught in the gospel of Jesus Christ? If you say salvation is by altar call, well, can a three year old go for an altar call what if a child doesn't make it to three years? The purpose of this post isn't for you group of grown ups, with different motives and purposes some selfish and annoying, that care mainly about yourselves your view and with less regard of others, it is for children and for those of us who actually care, love and want to learn. Okay apart from me just asking these questions, what about me, what have I preached? Well all these years when I preach salvation I tell people God searches and judges the heart, be you old or a baby or even in the womb, whether you have heard of God and of Jesus, or you haven't, God judges and hears all hearts. A person asks me, do you know the implications of what you are saying, yes it's questions the very purpose of religion which little children cannot actually follow. Anyway, so what is a soul, is abortion a sin, would an unborn child or a little children go to heaven?? |
maman11:it is to do and say what is good and right to others, that way you love them as you would love yourself. |
sonmvayina:goes to show your hatred even without knowing the question 🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️ |
ogaemeka:you say littered, could you give us 10 verses from the 27 books with it's many chapters and verses were such is stated. Show us you are not a liar, because why should we believe a liar who claims someone else is lying, would that just be you lying against them 🤷🏾♂️ |
MindHacker9009:you are not answering the question, who questioned if God ever referred to Israel as his child. The question is from Isaiah Now let me ask from another chapter in Isaiah Israel was a name God gave Jacob, hope you know what Israel means. Jacob wasn't the only one given a name, Hosea too was, he was called Joshua. Now Isaiah 49.3 He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor." Isa.49.5-6 And now the LORD says- he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength- he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." Now Isaiah wasn't writing about himself was he? If he wasn't then who is this servant who will bring Jacob back to God and be a light to the gentiles? Or are you saying Jacob is being sent to bring himself back? Does that make any sense? Let me not go in the Hebrew text which shows singularity and all that. In verse 7, God said he will be rejected by the people, by the nation. Are you going to say Israel rejected itself? Go ahead and please also explain scripturally as well your view and answers. |
MindHacker9009:so how does Israel justify many? |
Tellmeastory:so how did you come about knowing this your 'GOD'? |
MindHacker9009:then teach Isaiah 53 from the original text you have now, should be that hard for one with a bold claim as yours |
Tellmeastory:wow he ordered rape? 😲🤯 |
Tellmeastory:so you read the old testament in 10 minutes? |
MindHacker9009:it is one thing for you to claim it is Israel Isaiah refers to it is another and more important that you explain and show us how this is Israel, let's start from the beginning of Isaiah 53 shall we Isa.53.3-4 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. How was Israel rejected by men? How was Israel or Jacob despised? And who are the we Isaiah refers to that didn't esteem Israel? How did Israel take up your infirmities and carry your sorrows? |
MindHacker9009:but do you know the truth? You speak of the nation of Israel but fail to realize that the nation of Israel ended and was scatteted but the nation of Judah who were exiled returned. And to be frank there has been no nation of Israel ever since, even the nation Jesus was born in were Jews, the Jewish nation. Now where is the truth taught through the verses you quoted? How do they relate with you disagreeing that Jesus bore the punishment for our peace? Were you expecting a ritual to occur where a nation sacrifices a man to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 53 and then proclaim that this is the sacrifice that brings us peace? Here is a question Isaiah asks Isa.53.8 From prison and trial they led him away to his death. But who among the people realized that he was dying for their sins--that he was suffering their punishment? Do you even understand the scriptures you quote? |
MindHacker9009:the same Isaiah who also wrote Isaiah 53? Well the blood of Jesus was to pay for our death, while we are to repent from our sins. Jesus carried the punishment for our sins and God is the one who cleanses away our sins, not us, what we do is repent and return to God. God never provided us a way to cleanse our sins, He only commanded us to repent and come to Him and He would cleanse us, and in chapter 53, God reveals How He would do so. So are you saying God performed a pagan ritual? |
ogaemeka:was it a spot it yourself puzzle? 🙄 |
But you did not show the lie 🤥 🤔 |
Common guys, what is the purpose of defining humans into racial groups, is it not to differentiate those who originate from different climates and regions. Whereas the Bible teaches that we all come from the sons of Noah, meaning we all come from the same family but branched off into different regions over time. Meaning that though we have our differences we are all humans. Apart from these evolution teaching a difference rooted deep into ones origin, meaning those in different continents have nothing in common other than that they look like others and speak languages. Infact to some they may even see you as some mutated animal. When one looks into the subject of evolution, the classification of humans, we see the racist undertone of it. The basic message of evolution is that species evolve into more advanced species but such an open ended statement leaves room for many interpretations and one of which is for those supremacists racists. Think about it for a moment, imagine a child saying or asking, that are the "middle asiifeens" like that because the organism and apes they evolved from where of a lower species? Obviously I made up a nonsensical continental name, but you can still see that one cannot truly stop racism without believing in God and His word. It is highly pretentious that some governing bodies claim to fight against racism while the root cause of it, which is the so called scientific teaching of the evolution theory is still being taught even to children in schools. We moved from diverse theological and religious beliefs of different gods forming different people and cultures and each one claiming that the god who formed them is greater and therefore they in turn are greater than others, to evolution. We moved to evolution, where some believe they are the most evolved and are at the top of human evolution and are world leaders based on that. Don't you know who you are, who you father is, who your ancestors were, how great, how mighty, such pride is ingrained even if it means diminishing and looking down on others. We are the true owners of the land, the "gods" who made this particular land gave it to us. And those "gods" were probably just great men and warriors who lived in the distant past, winning victories and conquering others. Look as long as you believe in evolution you believe and say yes to racial differentiation and you may say you don't support the resulting discrimination but you support the basis for that very discrimination. |
Work hard even if people do not approve nor appreciate your hard work and honesty, there is good news for you, God will reward you. |
God loves you 😊 |
It is more important to obey God than it is to talk to God or hear from God. So if you ask me praying or reading the Bible which is more important, I ask you in turn what is the purpose of praying and reading the Bible, if it is not for us to do God's will, if you do not pray, God still knows what you need, if you do not read God can still speak to you, but if you do not obey God, who will obey Him for you? |
delkuf:I am fooling myself, because I tried to peacefully resolve two people's views and wrote that "well you both are right, Satan does control the world which is made up of unbelievers and God's children are no more of the world. And even though God owns our lives, the devil seeks to control and ruin it, and does he controls he has blinded." Then you jumped on the post and started talking about something else, even when I showed you the very verses Jesus said we are no more of the world, obviously showing you what I meant and I in no way meant children of God are no on this planet. But somehow you found a way to insult and ridicule. Hmmm, 🤔 you know Paul wrote knowledge puffs up but love builds up, even when I told you to calm down you refused insisting you were right in your own eyes. Well if you believe completely that what you did was right then let God judge you for it, but if you don't let God be merciful to you concerning it. Only God knows what went through your head, if it's a mistake or it's deliberate. |
delkuf:but did I tell you I didn't know that? |
We use God's mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons, to knock down the Devil's strongholds. With these weapons we break down every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God. With these weapons we conquer their rebellious ideas, and we teach them to obey Christ. I hope you will be patient with me as I keep on talking like a fool. Please bear with me. I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. For I promised you as a pure bride to one husband, Christ. But I fear that somehow you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to Christ, just as Eve was deceived by the serpent. You seem to believe whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach about a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. But I will continue doing this to cut the ground out from under the feet of those who boast that their work is just like ours. These people are false apostles. They have fooled you by disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder his servants can also do it by pretending to be godly ministers. In the end they will get every bit of punishment their wicked deeds deserve. Our responsibility is never to oppose the truth, but to stand for the truth at all times. I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who in his love and mercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ. You are already following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who twist and change the truth concerning Christ. Let God's curse fall on anyone, including myself, who preaches any other message than the one we told you about. Even if an angel comes from heaven and preaches any other message, let him be forever cursed. I will say it again: If anyone preaches any other gospel than the one you welcomed, let God's curse fall upon that person. Obviously, I'm not trying to be a people pleaser! No, I am trying to please God. If I were still trying to please people, I would not be Christ's servant. Dear brothers and sisters, I solemnly assure you that the Good News of salvation which I preach is not based on mere human reasoning or logic. For my message came by a direct revelation from Jesus Christ himself. No one else taught me. (Ref: 2Cor.10.4 - 5, 11.1 - 15, 13:8; Gal.1.6 - 12) They don't want many to know the one true God. They want many to obey them but not to obey Jesus Christ, so your devotion is to what you can gain instead of devotion in what Jesus tells and teaches to do, you follow them. The question is, do you know God, the one true God? Jesus in John.17.3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. Did they tell you knowing Jesus is knowing God, and you assumed you know "God" based on the Jesus you were taught? But who did Jesus come to reveal, and restore us to? If Jesus is the way, to where or to who is he way to? We wage war against the doctrines of nicolaitans called the Nicene creed, trinity which teach a different gospel where a Jesus is a god, where there are three gods instead of the one true God. So you are taught a different Jesus and receive a different spirit. Yet many ask, "why is the church so different from what is actually written"? Ask yourself is it the truth you follow or popular opinion? Is it human logic or the gospel from God? Following the crowd isn't always a wise thing to do Luke.6.26 What sorrows await you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets. If the fate of those who led others astray is sealed, what about yours? Who do you follow? |
delkuf:🤦 calm down and ask yourself who was the one who said, "we have been taken out of the world" |
delkuf:"God's children are no more of the world" is what you read John.17.14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. |
Who owns and controls the earth? GOD does. |
OlofofoCorner:sign of foolishness is when you can't engage properly in a discuss. All I asked you was what does religion mean [s]You can't be foolish and acting like you are better than others[/s] actually fools behave that sameway 🤦 |
GOD subjected the world to bondage by giving Satan control of it, who through the fear of death subjected men to bondage. Besides Jesus is after the kingdom of God and not the kingdoms of this world. Satan mixes truth with lies, saying he was given but denying the one who gave him at the same time, then asking Jesus to worship him as God and he, Satan, would give them to him was a lie because Satan can't and wont hand it to Jesus. He tried to use what Jesus knew was true to deceive him. |
Celestialsword:well you both are right, Satan does control the world which is made up of unbelievers and God's children are no more of the world. And even though God owns our lives, the devil seeks to control and ruin it, and does he controls he has blinded. |
vybzkartel:devil is a liar na |
RealityKings1:🤔 then what about number 4 4. Success is not independent of others. Be trustworthy and use your resources to serve others, so as to have godly associates, it may benefit you later when you are in need and much especially when you return to God, it will definitely benefit you then. And the only way to be trustworthy, isn't to love money so as to keep it out of greed but to love God, keep to his word and make use of what you have to benefit others. People will depend on you and you have or will depend on others later, so selfishness won't lead to success - invest in others. Luke.16.9 - 14 I tell you, use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. In this way, your generosity stores up a reward for you in heaven. 10 - "Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won't be faithful in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. 11 - And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? 12 - And if you are not faithful with other people's money, why should you be trusted with money of your own? 13 - "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." 14 - The Pharisees, who dearly loved their money, naturally scoffed at all this. |
OlofofoCorner:if you knew what religion means, you would realize how dump the question, "which religion God dey practice", is? |
1. Do more than is expected and demanded of you, even if it may seem unfair Matt.5.40 - 42 If you are ordered to court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too. If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles. Give to those who ask, and don't turn away from those who want to borrow. 2. If you have give without expecting it back. But surely God will reward and return it to you for being merciful. Luke.6.30 - Give what you have to anyone who asks you for it; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. 34 - And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, what good is that? Even sinners will lend to their own kind for a full return. 36 - You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. 37 - "Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. Stop criticizing others, or it will all come back on you. If you forgive others, you will be forgiven. 38 - If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving--large or small--it will be used to measure what is given back to you." 3. Invest and be faithful with what has been given to you and with what is in your hand. Dont ever think God is hard and wicked and after what you earn Matt.25.16 - The servant who received the five bags of gold began immediately to invest the money and soon doubled it. 20 - The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of gold said, 'Sir, you gave me five bags of gold to invest, and I have doubled the amount.' 21 - The master was full of praise. 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!' 29 - To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who are unfaithful, even what little they have will be taken away. Do you want more? 😊 |
