Good morning and Happy Sunday, fellow Nairanlanders, Trust we are all great! I ll like to know if it's mandatory to pray while kneeling only! Cos I do midnight prayers alot and as a person I might not be able to kneel for an hour or more! Do you think sitting to pray is a disrespect to God and hinders prayers? Or what's your take pls?

I walk when praying

o to heaven n live forever or hell for ethereal torment, then who are Dey resssurecting, n where will they be resurrecting too? Don’t u think there’s a problem somewhere? The Bible never talked about the dead goin to heaven or somewhere else.[/quote]olifiz

when humans die, they sleep, and when Resurrection comes the go to where the one they are slaves to are, and its determined by the state of their Spirit before the die. If any man be in Christ, he's a new creature, the creature, the state of the new creature is a Spiritual State, that Spiritual Spirit is what guarantees the life they live eternally. He that has the Son has life, because as many has believed Him, to them gave Him(God through Jesus Christ) the ability to make Heaven. So, this life we are taking about is Spiritual and not soulical.

God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit, it means whoever serves Him, serves Him with their spirit, Romans 1:9

Romans 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Adam was a Soul, but above all, Adam was a Spirit, the Soul is also the mind, and its where the reasoning, emotion, and the intellect are all resided. The body is the container, and the Spirit also has its place. Adam eyes was said to open and he discovered he was naked, Adam named all the animals and knew Eve was his wife, Adam was a spirit, Adam was not a Soul, though he has a Soul, all I listed above was accomplished because he has a Spirit that he lost that Jesus came to give us. This is eternal life, eternal life is a Spiritual life, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, Spiritual life, Ezekiel 36:26,

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Christianity is all about the Spiritual realm, also, when we shall appear before him, the state of our Spirit determines where we go. Shalom

If u believe when people die they go to heaven or hell pls is there any need for resurrection of the fleshly body? N even if they will be resurrected where will it take place n where will they be after the resurrection?

I know there is resurrection of a body, 1Corinthians 15 spoke about the resurrection with another body, I don't know about the resurrection and the body in the case of sinners or unsaved. the Bible said when He appears we shall be like Him

@olifiz

After death they say its judgement, its true, but not literally true. After death, the next event is Judgement that's what that verse is trying to saying, in between in time. I believe in the resurrection, the Holy Spirit said in 1 Corinthians 15 through Paul so many things about resurrection from the dead. After death the next event, in the light of the thread, I have to squeeze somethings, but I felt I should explain further as you notice up there, thank you

Olifiz:
Have you heard about resurrection of the righteous in the future Act . Pls ask urself if one dies n go to heaven pls will there be any need for resurrection?

While Jesus was on earth. He’s good friend Lazarus died Jesus never said Lazarus was in heaven but rather said he was asleep even after Jesus resurrected him he didn’t say he was in heaven or hell or anything close that’s even after 4days he died. Everyone who was resurrected in the Bible never had or said they were somewhere else wen they died.

The Bible verse most Christians use to justify the heaven thing after death is the dream about one Lazarus story like that. Pls know that not everything written in the Bible is literal many are symbolic, if u take that dream story literally the meaning it gives u contradicts the resurrection hope promised by God, it also contradicts the state of the dead explained in Ecclesiastes. I’ll come back with a more detailed write up with bible verses.

Life is in stages, I was not done, I'm till writing

Why the continuation, if he sleeps, he shall wake and shall be judged based on what he brought from this side of earth to continue there, so he sleeps here and continue a life in the the thereafter. No wonder Paul by the Spirit said,

1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

The truth is, the Spirit is saying here that we should not be sorrowful when a believer dies, these are sacred things so I must not add my own interpretation, but that's what the Bible says. People die to continue a life elsewhere

Isn't it surprising that on many occasions, the Bible constantly substitute the fact that someone died with the word sleep cc didov1

John 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Luke 8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

Acts 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. (Stephen) cc shortyy

1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

The reason it is called sleep is because life is continuous,

Paul spoke about the continuation

Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

Christians

Not Christians, life, if you don't have life, no heaven. Only the Son (Jesus) gives life

He that believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life, eternal life is in the Son

Some things are difficult to understand, not because they can't be understood, but because it takes time and much of reading to understand them.

God is a Spirit, and He looks at our Spirit. If a man goes to heaven of Hell, its based on the state of his Spirit as at the point of death. If our spirit is clean, we come to heaven, if its dirty, hell is the direction.

The question is, is Man born with a clean spirit and what makes the Spirit dirty and how does the dirty spirit transforms into a clean one.

Well, religion is about understanding the spiritual realm and how they influence the physical. I believe I'm saying too much. Anyway, the Bible said it all,

1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

If you don't have life, life is the ticket

Shortyy:
Ok, i was arguing with a friend of mine on where the pagans will go to, well my opinion is if you are a righteous person, that is, if you do the right things you are definitely going to heaven. even if you a Christian, a pagan, a hundi or whatever.. what do you all think?

You can't manage a country efficiently till you have first stabilized it. Then, the economy must follow. You must provide jobs for the people, particularly the youths.



What do we call this statement?The same person that claimed 9ja youths are lazy is Our God not wonderful?
