aManFromMars: If GOD is uncreated, why would he create? What did he create the universe? Why can't the universe be uncreated?

Why would he create? Because he can create. Simple

He created the universe because he had plans...he thinks and sees...he's way too smart, smarter than all he created

nnofaith: questions to give meaning to randomness!

I'd take that as "bro, I don't have the faintest idea to any of the questions"



I know that feeling bro

teeo: I an a Christian but I don't understand how God would allow a child who has no sin suffer just for another man to eventually finding peace. I ain't questioning God's ways but that doesn't mean I understand it

Because he SO LoVED d WORLD of MEN

John 3v16

[quote author=Mynd_44]Actually, the egg came first. Remember if the hen does not lie on the egg it will never become a chicken.

Now answer my question if you dare or can.

The truth is that as Christians, there are loads of questions we can answer about our religion and we should be pround to say we don't know.

Someone her once said the book of Job did not really happen. He said it was just a story told to teach people to have faith and hope against hope that even in tribulations we should hold on to God and it seems true to me.[/quote]If the hen came first, when then did d egg come from?

[quote author=Mynd_44]I am a Christian but that does not stop me from questioning things I don't understand.

You just listed out a pile of questions which are thought provoking but I have just one for you..

God created the world and everything in it right, but who Created God?[/quote]He is a supreme being. Google it

Tnx, if u do, i will be an atheist

[quote author=Mynd_44]So the children were punished to test the faith of their father right? I don't get how you see this as a good thing, we are talking of innocent kids who did not have anything to do with the situation here.

Why can't Job be tested like that? Why kill others to test someone else and in the end you bring new ones like they were pieces in some game. Like they are disposable.[/quote]D devil took those kids away, because gave gave his worf to the devil sayin he shd do whatever he pleases but not to touch his life

Now ask me why God made the decision to permit d devil to afflict Job.

Atheist sef, wen wud they stop seeing Christianity as the opposite of Atheism? They don't believe in God o, yet they try to judge him by what he did and didn't do. If then so, why don't atheists judge the devil for what he did n didn't do? I am assuming they don't belive in the devil too, but they mostly question God who dey dnt bliv in than d devil who they dnt bliv in too.

Its like me, I don't believe vampires existed before, why then would I question what they did or didn't do?

Abeeeg atheists, I dey church...its not fair o...

Make una chill till 12 pm na

[quote author=Mynd_44]Did you read your Bible at all? Did God say that was the reason he was being tested? Did the Devil mention that when he went the God?

Remember that he is the "accuser" and if what Job did was a sin don't you think he old mention it?

But aside from that, the OP's question is that what offence did the children commit? What did they do that they had to die and then in the end, Job had more kids as though the ones he had before were immaterial like livestock which could be replaced[/quote]
D devil sought permission to attack Job, God boasting with Job said he should but not to touch his life, d devil now afflicted Job, and Job unlike Abraham changed his confession in line with what God has done. He was weak in faith, he allowed fear n circumstances around him change his confession, the children n all Job had was dear to him of course, d devil will attack that which you cherish, just to test your faith, dats wot he did...you would have asked me whether the suffering he went tru was immaterial considering the end of his story.

Abeg I dey church, cnt evn concentrate here sef

[quote author=Mynd_44]"collateral damage"

that is exactly what happened to Job.[/quote]Nah, Job spoke pervesred words in contrary to what God has done for him. Even d devil bore testimony on what God did for him

See what d devil said about Job
Job 1v10
10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his
household and everything he has? You have blessed the
work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are
spread throughout the land.

See what Job now said, he didn't see what God did for him, he spoke wrongly n broke d hedge

Job 3v25
What I feared has come upon me; 25 what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; 26
I have no rest, but only turmoil.

Dats why we should be careful on what we say

Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is
greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they
will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching,
they will obey yours also. John 15:20


Is like asking "why do our teachers want us to go through exams?"

only d test of fire make fine steel bro, trials n tribulation are part of the package in Christianity

James 1v2-8 ESV
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your
faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. ...

1Corinth 10v13 ESV
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Romans 5v3
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

And many more sef

Ok, I'm expectant

Take Possession… Through Knowledge · Sunday, September 15th ·

Pastor Anita

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6).


Being born again, you’ve been brought into a life of success, prosperity, and health. It’s however your responsibility to work out your victorious life in Christ; "...work out your own salvation..." (Philippians 2:12); in other words, make the salvation you’ve received effective. Some Christians don’t realize this, hence they’re hoping, expecting, and praying that God will do something more that’ll better their lives.

There’s nothing more the Lord needs to do than He already did for you in Christ. He’s already done everything necessary to ensure your healing, well-being, deliverance, and prosperity; He’s done everything for you to live a balanced life of righteousness, dominion, and power. If, for example, you were praying, "O God, give me peace," that would be praying incorrectly, because He already gave you peace. He said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you…."

What you need today is how to take possession of the blessings of God in your life; take advantage of what He’s already done. He’s given you all things free to enjoy. 1 Corinthians 3:21 says "…all things are yours…"; but how are you going to enjoy them? 2 Peter 1:2-3 gives us the answer; it says, "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue."

Grace, peace, promotion, blessings, and prosperity will be multiplied in your life through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus, our Lord. As important as prayer and fasting are to your spiritual growth, you should notice that the scripture didn’t say, "through fasting and prayers, grace and peace are multiplied to you." Rather, it directs your attention to revelation knowledge through the Word. Such specialized knowledge comes to you through diligent study and meditation on the Word.

Through this special knowledge of God, and of Jesus Christ, not only are you acquainted with your rights, privileges, and inheritance in Christ, you’re catapulted to the realm where you walk in the reality of the eternal deposits of God’s blessings in you.

Prayer
  Dear Father, thank you for granting me an excellent spirit that’s full of the eternal deposits of your goodness, graces, perfections, and beauty. My understanding is enlightened to have precise knowledge of the great riches of your glorious inheritance in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Proverbs 3:9-10, speaks about free will giving. Making God first in our finances. Its first fruit mentioned there and not tithes.

1 Corinthians 9 speaks of free will giving and not obligatory tithing.

Matthew 23:23 is Jesus speaking under the law.

Take the time to read the conclusion of the Q and A session in the OP.

Hahahahahahahahha

Funny, you didn't answer any kweshun I asked

Oya go bck and look at d options I gave you. Let's take it one after d other

You n I knw we won't take each other's view of tins...so just answer the question n let's see

"Honor the Lord
with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all
your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine" (Proverbs
3:9-10).

OP is dis a;
1. Law of Moses
2. Command from God
3.Joke from Solomon
4.Assumption

Is there a condition if we obey it? If yes, how do we obey the said scripture? Suggest ways for me pls


And its important to know this

Some people say; "Well, that's Old Testament; we are
now in the new covenant and don't have to do those
things anymore."

1,500 years after Moses received the Law, Jesus
REAFFIRMED in His day the validity of tithing:

Matthew 23:23 NIV
Woe to you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! YOU GIVE A TENTH of your spices — mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law — justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, WITHOUT NEGLECTING THE FORMER.

He didn't Condemn it, he in fact encouraged it

Later in the New Testament, in 1 Corinthians, ch. 9,
the apostle Paul teaches on the financial support of the work of God and uses commands from Moses’ Law as guidelines — 1 Corinthians 9:8 "Doesn’t the Law say the SAME thing?" (referring to how the priests lived on the tithes and offerings). Paul brought the principle of the Levitical tithe — "the SAME thing" — over to the support of New Testament ministry.

When we think about tithing, the most important thing is that we examine our heart. Do we have a giving heart? (Thank God I do)
Do we want to give God our first and best? Not out of
obligation but out of love (remember from the above we are obliged by God, same as Mal 3v8...wen I mean obligation, I mean your Pastor don't have to do crusade for you before you bring em tithes) . Just like a groom who wants
to give his bride the most beautiful diamond engagement
ring he can possibly afford

And here's my conclusion kweshun, if tithing has been done away with, what about offerings? Why do you still give offerings in church?

*this is the last thread I'd ever talk about tithing on NL

God is awesome!

If Christ Be In You…" · Saturday, September 14th ·

Pastor Chris

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).


The greatest thing that could ever happen to any human person is to know and have Jesus Christ in his life; He’s the solution to all problems, and answer to all questions. A man’s problems are "excusable" only if he doesn’t have Christ living in him; only then can his complaints and frustrations be "justified." If Christ is in you, you have no reason for failure in life; you have no excuse for defeat.

Christ in you is not some imagination or fable; it’s a reality. 1 Corinthians 3:16 says, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" The Spirit of God, who is the conveyor of the blessings of God, and of all that’s been given to us in Christ Jesus, lives in you. Become conscious of this truth, and proclaim it all the time.

Romans 8:10 gives us an idea of the supernatural impact of Christ in you: "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness." This is awesome! It means that as one in whom Christ dwells, no sickness, disease, or infirmity can ravage your body. Besides, even if your body has been so bruised, broken, or paralyzed by sickness, the Spirit will give it life—revitalize it—because of righteousness. This brings to mind what Peter did when he encountered a certain man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed for eight long years.

In that condition of paralysis, Aeneas received the Gospel and believed in Jesus Christ. Peter looked at him, and all he said was, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well; get up"; and that was it! Aeneas was healed instantly by the power of God (Acts 9:33-34). Peter didn’t pray for him; why? He realized that Christ was all Aeneas needed. Christ in you, is your hope of health, success, strength, prosperity, progress, and excellence. Christ in you means glory in your life! Blessed be God!

Prayer  Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the grace and ability you’ve given me in Christ Jesus. I declare that by the ability of the Spirit that’s at work in me, I can do all things and walk in victory over unpleasant circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Live From Inside Out · Friday, September 13th ·

Pastor Chris

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16).


When you were born again, it wasn’t your physical body that was born again; it was your spirit—the inward man. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; that new creation is the inward man. The divine nature—the God life—is in your human spirit. Therefore, you’re to live from inside out; function from your inward man. The way to do this is to keep your focus on the Word of God, refusing to be moved by the dictates of your physical senses.

For example, the doctors may have diagnosed some ailment in your physical body; but your body is not you; it’s your domicile; the house where the "real you," your spirit, lives. Your real person is the recreated human spirit, and he’s fashioned after the image of Christ. Therefore, there’s no sickness, weakness, limitation, imperfection, or barrenness of any kind in your spirit.

The life of faith to which we’ve been called is a call to live from inside out. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says, "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal [that means subject to change]; but the things which are not seen are eternal." It’s only by faith that you "look" at things which your natural senses can’t perceive. Those who haven’t learnt to function from their spirits are the ones dominated by natural forces and circumstances.

Don’t let your focus be on what’s going on in your outward man; pay attention to your spirit. God has deposited in your spirit everything you require to live a successful and victorious life. Health, prosperity, victory, success, excellence, and every good thing in Christ Jesus are in your spirit! Activate them from within; look inwards, and live from inside out. "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good…" (Luke 6:45).

Confession  

I rejoice to know that by keeping my focus on the Word, and functioning from my spirit, I can bring forth prosperity, health, victory, and excellence and live by the guidance and direction given to my spirit from the Lord. Glory to God!

The Spirit In You · Thursday, September 12th ·

Pastor Anita

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness (Romans 8:10).

In the verse above, the Apostle Paul wasn’t questioning whether Christ was in the brethren in Rome; rather, he stirred their minds to an important reality: He wanted them to know that the Healer lived within them. He said if Christ (the Healer) is in you, though your body may be weak and sickly, He’ll vitalize it; therefore, refuse to be sick.

Paul’s conclusion, upon meditating on our transcendent life in Christ, is that when you have the Holy Spirit, you shouldn’t be sick, because your body is vitalized by the same Spirit. "Now if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (vitalize, make alive) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" (Romans 8:11). The work of the Holy Spirit in vitalizing your physical body is in the "now"; it’s not something that’ll happen when we get to Heaven; He’s working in you now! Glory to God!

The Spirit that lives in you is where the power is: His presence in you has settled the matter of sickness and weakness forever, for He "perambulates" in you, to "fix" any anomalies in your physical body. If sickness "attacks" your body, you have nothing to fear or worry about; the Holy Spirit—the Healer—lives in you! His life in you makes you unconquerable. He’s the One who made Jesus the Healer, and had enough power to raise Him back to life; and now, He lives in you.

Perhaps, you’ve been a Christian, and your physical body has been so ravaged, messed up, destroyed, or battered by sickness or disease; what you need is the consciousness of the indwelling Healer—the Spirit of God in you. Christ in you, is your hope of healing and health. Halleluiah.

Confession  

The Holy Spirit—the Healer—lives in me, therefore, I’m not susceptible to infirmity. The life of God in me makes every fibre of my being: my cells, tissues, organs, and systems, impregnable to disease and sickness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
