Christianity EtcRe: Why Is Homosexuality Wrong? by Gombs(m): 10:35am On Nov 25, 2013

Rom 9 AMP
20 But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21 [size=16pt] Has the potter no right over the clay, [/size] to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use?


God designed sex for a Man and Woman (married)...that's why he gave Adam, Eve. Man outta perversion decide to go after same sex as he. God created sex and gave users manual...why would anybody wanna go against the manual?
Animals (without intelligence as man) do NOT go after same sex...why then humans?


Romans 1 TLB

25 Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they prayed to the things God made, but wouldn’t obey the blessed God who made these things.
26 That is why God let go of them and let them do all these evil things, so that even their women turned
against God’s natural plan for them and indulged in sex sin with each other. 27 [size=16pt] And the men, instead of having normal sex relationships with women, burned with lust for each other, men doing shameful things with other men and, [/size] as a result, getting paid within their own souls with the penalty they so richly deserved.

28 So it was that when they gave God up and would not even acknowledge him, God gave them up to doing
everything their evil minds could think of. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness and sin, of greed and hate, envy, murder, fighting, lying, bitterness, and gossip.
30 They were backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, always thinking of new ways of sinning and continually being disobedient to their parents.
31 They tried to misunderstand,[h] broke their promises, and were heartless—without pity. 32 They were fully aware of God’s death penalty for these crimes, [size=16pt] yet they went right ahead and did them anyway and encouraged others to do them, too. [/size]

Christianity EtcRe: Rhapsody Of Realities: A Daily Devotional by Gombs(m): 9:20am On Nov 25, 2013
Intimate Knowledge Of The Truth · Monday, November 25th ·

Pastor Chris

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men… this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1-4).


Not only does God want all men saved, He also wants them to come into the knowledge of the truth. This kind of knowledge is "epignosis" (Greek); intimate knowledge of, fellowship or oneness with, the truth. When you come into oneness with truth, you’ll discover who you really are.

For example, 1 Peter 1:23 says, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." You’re born of God’s Word in exactly the same sense that Jesus is described as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). God wants you to come into oneness with this truth; He wants you to relate with it and understand that your life is the manifestation of the Word of God. That’s true Christianity.

Have the knowledge in your spirit of what Paul meant when he said, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). Notice the phrase, "…all things…." That means there’s no disadvantage to you as a child of God. The whole world is yours because you’re the seed of Abraham.

2 Peter 1:4 says you belong in the fraternity of the God-kind, having been born into God’s class, with His nature and character in your spirit. You’ve been translated from the ordinary realm of "mankind" to the supernatural class of the "God-kind." Therefore, there’s no room for failure or defeat; poverty, sickness and weakness are not a part of your life. You’re indestructible, because you’re born of God’s incorruptible Word.

God wants you to have intimate knowledge of these and other truths revealed concerning you in His Word. No wonder the Psalmist vociferates in Psalm 87:3, "Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah." Accept and walk in the light of God’s truths concerning you.

Confession  

I have overcome the world, sin and the devil because I’m born of the Word. My life is the life of God’s Word, and that makes me invincible and superhuman. Sickness, disease, lack and death have no place in me because I belong in the fraternity of the God-kind! Blessed be God.

f u r t h e r s t u d y: John 1:12-13; 2 Peter 1:4

John 1:12-13
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

2 Peter 1:4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

harbiola1: huh



OK!



OK!



OK!



OK!


Having said that, with Genesis 2:7 "And Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and "BREATHED" into his nostrils the "BREATH" of life; and man became a Living Soul.
Gbam

From Adam, we're all God's Word/Breath that proceeds/goes out from God to Adam and became living soul.
If we say "Anything that proceeds/goes out from God is God" then what are we?

Genesis 2:7 (AMP)
7 Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the
ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.


God put the spirit of life in Adam...that was why Adam was supposed to live forever, but he obeyed the devil and lost it all.... Thank God Jesus came to the scene and restored us bck.

We are gods.... Cos we are created in God's image (look like him) and likeness ( function like him). Adam faltered and man fell, but through and in Jesus we became gods again.

Hallelujah
Christianity EtcRe: @ajibam's Letter To Unbelievers. by Gombs(m): 7:48pm On Nov 24, 2013
harbiola1: Prophet Muhammed (saw) didn't prescribed the law. The law is from Almight Allah (God), and God is Forever Just and Merciful to us His creation, provided that we abide by His do and don't.
Why would Allah ask another to kill the other because the latter committed Adultery? That's not a merciful God

God is nt Merciful to criminals, people wouldn't want to hear that bt it is the truth.
Damn! My God is. Jesus said "let He who is without sin cast the first stone"...why would a God not be merciful to his erring creature? What parent would throw away his kid just cos the kid pooed on himself?

Allah (God) will provide for both the pious and criminals alike in this world, even at times, criminals would be endowed with what pious didn't have, thus we would say God is Merciful to all mankind. ur health, wealth... have nothing to do with the level of ur piety, Hence Allah is "Rahmon".
But he would exert death penalty for an Adultery?

And God's Mercy would be exclusive to those that abide by His rules and regulations here on earth. It might be very difficult, bt it's a small price for big goods awaiting for them in afterlife. That is where ur Piety would determine may be God would be Merciful to one or otherwise, hence we say Allah is "Roheem"
Thank God Jesus came...he dies so that God would wash you clean, no matter your sin, when you asked for forgiveness

Prophet Muhammed (saw) prescribed the laws to us, as was prescribed to Him (saw), and other Prophets(as) by Almighty God.
Not my God though

Exodus 20:14. "You shall not commit adultery"
True

Then what would happen if one commits adultery?

Deut 22:22 "If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die"
Lev 20:10. Lev 21:9. Prov 6:32 among others.
That was before Jesus came..mand these were Moses' laws

In both OT/NT, to divorce and remarry is an offence that attracts capital punishment.

Mark 10:12 "And if she divorces her husband and marries another man. she commits adultery". Same thing with Matthew 19:9... And what's the punishment for Adultery?

The law was also prescribed for Prophet Muhammed (saw) but with slight difference.
Jesus and the adulteress... Go study d bible

1. If a non-married boy and girl commit an adultery and get caught, the duo would receive a good 90 strokes of of cane.
whether they survive it or not, Mashallah (If God wills) for that particular one, they would be forgiven by God. Bt they can still continue with their acts if they are ready to receive the punishment.
A the canning would pacify Allah?

2. If a married man and woman commit an adultery and get caught, the duo are criminals of God and they should be judge with the law. The duo would be Stoned till they're lifeless. Mashallah (If God wills) for that particular one, they would be forgiven by God.
Where is the love?

And that's how other laws would be carried out as prescribed on the culprit.

This's insane right? Actually it's not! What we need to understand is how to provide exhibits against these people with which they would be condemned.
Very insane bro![/quote]Except in the case of pregnancy, under the Sharia law, we can be able to condemn 1 out of hundred of such because of the criterias required.

I can list the criterias upon request.[/quote]Don't bother about the requirements

Note: If we don't meet up with the criterias required to condemn the culprits and the culprits denied of doing it. they would be left to face the direct judgement of God. But if the criteria required is meet then it's mandatory for us to carry out the judgement by ourselves as prescribed by God so that others would learn their lessons and such act would drastically be reduced.

God is ever Merciful!
Allah let his creature to judge for him? how holy is the judge? Is the said earthLy judge perfect?
Christianity EtcRe: @ajibam's Letter To Unbelievers. by Gombs(m):
harbiola1: What is the difference between God's spoken word and God's breath? Ain't they the same?
God's Breath and God's words...are they same? Hmmmmm

But in the bible, the breath of God is refered to as the Holy spirit. The Hebrew and greek word for spirit means 'wind' 'breeze' it's Pnuema in greek...

You can see from the red sea story that God splited the sea with a blast of His nostrils. Wonderful! That's the Holy Spirit...

And when God fed the isrealite quails ...the bible said "there went forth a wind from the Lord and brought quails from the SEA"

Quails went from the sea and flew all the way to the desert where they have no business being. That there was the work of the Holy Spirit

#Gloooooray

So in Christianity, Holy Spirit and Jesus are same...hence God's breath and His words are same. Anything that proceeds/goes out from God is God...

harbiola1: OK!

Sure, u can ask me anything about Islam.
Why do Muslim law prescribe stoning to death of an adulteress/adulterer? Where is the love and mercy of God Allah in that?

Reference: All spirit beings are created free moral agents meaning they have a will and can exercise it. God himself, Angels and Man cannot be 'forced' to do anything. You cannot compel God, God cannot compel you. The bible tells you not to upset angels because they have a will. Satan chose to trouble God. God has given us a choice, an opportunity out of love. As you can see even on this forum many will never find the fire exit. It is not God's fault.

whose words do they listen to and obey....

if they obey God it says you are fearful and wonderfully made

Dr 91210 says maybe you need to raise the nose a little bit....remove this fatty tissue here and there......put a little needle here to make it smoother

so tell me WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NAKED? tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue

Reference: Oga. God is very, very concerned about sin despite Jesus. The fact that you build an emergency exit doesn't mean everyone will be saved when fire breaks out. Daily thousands die and are lost permanently. Of course God is concerned with who we are and what we do.

The apostle Paul said that, 'should we go on sinning that grace may abound...? Yes, His love for us his creation cannot be broken but it is 'HIS LOVE'. Where is ours... when all we love are our bodies. Can you take that from your wife, husband, children, boss or President of Nigeria.
If you own a car and was constantly worried of a flat tyre, and finally you brought in a spare tyre, would you still be worried about your car having a flat tyre?

But folk can bleach their skins..but it is not a 'sin' ( ladies call it skin toning or so)...And they did not think God did not create them well

But folks use hair growth creams, it is not a 'sin'.. And they did not think God did not create them well

But yung folks use dye on their grey hair, it is not a 'sin'...And they did not think God did not create them well


What pains me the most is that a serial fornicator or a a thief or a rapist or a wife beater or etc will be here calling someone who did plastic surgery or transgender surgery a SINNER. the level of hypocrisy is alarming.

If it was because of only one folk who did corrective surgery... Jesus would have still come and died to save that one.

Stop being judgmental...if I did nose surgery and did all that God asked me to do, are you saying he'd send me to hell for altering my nose?

Come on guys!!!

def lover: who cares about wat you think........or feel.....

its about what does God's word say


the question God asked Adam in the garden

WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NAKED.................simple
He asked them that because He knew there's no way they'd have known they were n.aked except they ate of that fruit or someone told them. Not because He designed them to be actually n.aked and they all of a sudden wanted clothes. If he really wanted them n.aked..he wouldn't have clothed them went he sent them out of the garden.

Question is, would God condemn you to hell just because you went for tummy tuck or plastic surgery or transgender surgery. ( I told you He's interested n your spirit, not your flesh.)

Would he stop loving you because you changed your physique? Though most folks do this for corrupt gains... It still doesn't mean God don't love them or won't accept them again because they altered their bodies? If a baby poos on himself, would you throw away d baby n his poo poo just because he shouldn't have pooed on his body?

God doesn't think like a natural man does... He's not worried about sin...He was before, but after he sent Jesus, He isn't no more. He is NOT sin conscious

Christianity EtcRe: Is It a Sin For A Christian To Have Cosmetic Surgery ? by Gombs(m): 8:53am On Nov 24, 2013
I don't think its a sin...God is interested in your spirit...

On that day your flesh won't be there, neither would there be any modification on your spirit.


If you change your body or gender or anything about you in surgery, God won't love you any less than he loved Jesus. He would still love you as if you d only one on the earth.

Victorious In Him · Sunday, November 24th ·

Pastor Anita

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14).


Jesus already defeated Satan and the cohorts of darkness on your behalf. In Luke 10:18-19, He said, "...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven…." The Apostle Paul relayed a graphic illustration of the victory of Jesus over Satan and the cohorts of hell: "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it" (Colossians 2:15).

The Lord Jesus dispossessed Satan of his authority, rendered him powerless and gave us the victory! Therefore, Satan doesn’t have any right over the world today, neither does he have the power to run your life. All you have to do is enforce your victory through the fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 says, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life whereunto thou art also called and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." This isn’t a fight with the devil, your flesh or the world; rather, it’s maintaining your victory in Christ.

In John 16:33 Jesus said, "…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Galatians 5:24 says "And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." This means you don’t have to try to overcome the world or the flesh; rather, you’re to live beyond the flesh by walking in the light of God’s Word, in spite of sensory evidence.

Appropriate, and lay hold of, the victories Jesus already wrought and accomplished for you through your faith-filled declarations. It may be in your job, finances, health or family; refuse to accept failure or defeat. Keep declaring your victory.

Confession  

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I’m what God says I am; a victor, an overcomer and more than a conqueror! No weapon formed against me shall prosper because the greater One lives in me! I’m filled with His glory, grace, and might. Halleluiah.
