Kenny4lyfe: @Gombs Merry Xmas sir! May the Lord's special grace never leave you as you celebrate Christ in you today! Something tells me you're missing my absence online, its because I'm now a staff in church therefore, always busy. Merry Xmas all the same sha and send my chicken oh!
@oyinprince Merry Xmas brother, I declare increase for you on every side this season. Do have a lovely celebration!

Oyinprince: *Morning sir, and Merry Christmas to you :-)

tpia: y'all shd check out how people can be wicked to me esp homesteady ...I'd bring that of @polio... nlders, answer me, are they being fair to me?

homesteady: Kunk ke? She will chop beating!

homesteady: Tpia@ is this your other moniker?

ledafaze: You can only make heaven by believing in Jesus Christ, his death, salvation, washing away of sins and justification because we live by faith.

If one pastor quotes the bible that the bible says you must not revoke the meeting of believers, tell that pastor that you are all believers in your family... even on Nairaland we meet here as believers... praying with your family is also part of meeting as believers... so don't be fooled.

Going to heaven is not tied to your church attendance. Jesus was there to prove a point... to hear and teach the word of God... If they had internet in those days, I believe it should not be stressful for him.

If you ask me, I really don'y have a constant church... I have been to a few tho... and I only try stick to where i believe they really teach unbiased.

Presently with The Apostolic Church (TAC) - Its like a family church service everytime I attend cos the pastors are always free to talk and they say the truth... the only thing I really dont like there is the way the offering goes... kai!

Also MFM... was even a teacher there but had to leave when we were told to uphold anything Dr D. K. Olukoya holds and reject what he rejects.... spoon-feeding at this age and time? Abegi! But I really love their service, the only church where Praise and Worship goes for over 1 hour every sunday... Whao! and the hymns.. like 5 - 7 every sunday service... more so, I had to leave when they started forcing me to teach @ the head quarters cos I was not ready to tell the followers to also hold what the G.O. holds... him be God?

Synagogue... I have been there a few times... to feed my eyes ni o jare... Sebi when Jesus was passing by a guy possessed by legions, He already knew from afar but still passed there to feed his physical eyes and also tell a story... so I was there also to do eye feeding...

Celestial Church of Christ (C. C. C.) ... Cherubim and Seraphim (C & S), Christ Apostolic Church (C. A. C), Christ Apostolic Mission Church (C. A. M. C), TREM, Deeper Life, Catholic, Anglican... but not and never the Church of Satan...

So, the bottom of it all is this... Religion is of the world... but Christlikeness is within.

EDIT: I never type finish, Ajibam don come... anyways I see you!

Bidam: bro.. i meant no disrespect o..sorry if you feel that way.

Goshen360: @ Gombs,

Sometimes, it appears some Christians study the word BUT they don't understand tenses. This is not an insult to them but that's what it seems like. How can someone be reading "A is LIKE B" and be telling us it is the same meaning as "A IS B"? This is the problem we have with folks today and we wonder why so much argument as if we, Christians are bunch of confused people. The same problem I have with the OP, if he likes, let him call Melchizedek anything but saying Melchizedek is Christ, Oh Lord, help us!

And, YOU, Gombs, leave that tithe matter this Christman season, the one una don collect don do.

Bidam: @Gombs, the point is Melchizedek was a Type of Christ of Old,Moses was a Type of Christ,David was a Type of Christ, Joseph was a Type of Christ,
Samson was a Type of Christ. Read their stories and see REDEMPTION in them. In the NT i am a Type of Christ. Paul says Christ has many membered PARTS. Christ filled the OT as well as the NT, The bible is ALL about Christ. Do you not see how you are missing it? Let's look at the Melchi story again.

Melchisedec was a type of Christ as Priest. He was without father and mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God. Now, remember this, in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

And let me also point out an interesting story about Abraham's encounter with 3 visitors in Gen 18. Do you know who they were? They ate what Abraham gave them? God is Spirit, does God eat food? You can see this thing is bigger than what you can imagine.

When Jesus appeared before His disciples after his resurrection he asked to be given food and he ate it to show them he was flesh and bones(none of his bones was broken), He shed his blood to show us that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Right now Jesus is sitted as a person at the right hand of God the Father. To say He never preexisted his birth is poor bible knowledge on you part.

MEILYN: how will John know Christ is melchizedec? John the baptist didnt even know he was Elijah. This philosophy of yours doesnt discard the fact that Melchizedec is Christ, and again you dont believe in Regeneration. So thats why you think so bro.

Christ met Abraham and Abraham didnt try to kill him, but he rejoiced to see Christs day. Where did that occur in the old testament? It fits Melchizedec visit to Abraham perfectly.

As for whether I think atheism is a religion, I would say yes. It is weird and kind of not correct but if you say it is not a religion, why would you say they should be lumped with paganism?

As for the creation of sections......not my jurisdiction

MEILYN: "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;" (Hebrews 7:1).<<< Now lets get this story from the old testament and see what really happened between Abraham and Melchizedec

"And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God." (Genesis 14:17-18).
"And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all." (Genesis 14:19-20).<< Now, when Abraham saw Melchizedec he was very happy, he rejoiced and Melchizedec blessed Abraham. Now lets goto that Hebrews and complete that verse.

"To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;" (Hebrews 7:2).<<< He was the king of righteousness and of peace, now who is that?

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually." (Hebrews 7:3).<< Melchizedec had no father or mother or decent, Melchizedec had no beginning of days or end of life but He was made like unto Christ, he just popped out of no where, he abideth a Priest continually, a priest of the most high God.

Now lets see how Melchizedec is Christ without wasting time.

"Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?" (John 8:53).<< the Pharisees came asking Christ, they came asking if Christ is greater than Abraham.

"They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. " (John 8:39).
"But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. " (John 8:40).<< now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, this did not Abraham, wow, Abraham did not try to kill Christ? Where the hell did Christ and Abraham meet?

"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. " (John 8:56).<< Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Christ? Wait a minute, dont try to tell me these things happened in the Spirit world because they where talking about earthly things. What did Abraham do when he saw Melchizedec? He rejoiced to see Melchizedec.

"Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" (John 8:57).<< The jews were shocked and they asked Christ the same question am asking, you are not up to 50years old and you said you have seen Abraham? How is that even possible?

"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. " (John 8:58).<< wow, now you see Christ was Melchizedec, Christ is a priest, so was Melchizedec. Melchizedec has no beginning or end, so was Christ. Melchizedec king of Righteousness and Peace.

MEILYN: I dont know why some Christians argue things they shouldnt argue. Even if you show them from the bible.

Now if Melchizedec isnt Christ, it means there is another Christ or someone like Christ.

Melchizedec=1]King of righteousness and peace.
2] had no beginning or end of life.
3] made like unto Christ.
4]high priest


Please people, is there someone exactly like Christ? If he isnt Christ then he and Christ must be on the same level. Who is melchizedec please? I stand to be corrected, but nobody has given me a reason to discard this...

infonubia: To me, the date doesn't matter. There are folks who don't know their real date of birth and they just adopt a day. I'm less interested in the history of the Dec. 25th, neither am I really interested in the activities that comes with the Christmas season (which I admit is really beautiful). I'm more interested in the significance of the day. It's a reminder of the birth of our savior ...and the importance of what his birth brought...PEACE on earth.

aManFromMars: Silliness just keeps increasing. Interesting.

Bidam: Let me ask you the question Jesus asked the pharisees. Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath?

My brother i am resting in God not in my works..all days are sabbath to me. .

There is nothing wrong in having a Saturday church. But once you make it a core doctrine for all Christians to follow that is when it becomes legalism and religion.
