Stop beating yourself up
‘We all stumble in many ways.’ James 3:2 NIV
(2011 Edition)
When you sin, God’s Spirit will convict you of your
need to repent and change your ways. But until you
get your glorified body in heaven, you’re always
going to deal with sin. The apostle James wrote,
‘We all stumble in many ways.’ But falling down
isn’t what makes you a failure - it’s staying down!
Get back up, dust yourself off, receive God’s grace,
learn from the experience, and move on. The Bible
says, ‘There is now no condemnation for those who
are in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 8:1 NIV 2011 Edition).
God is not condemning you, so stop condemning
yourself. A few decades ago, people used to wear a
little badge with the letters GNFWMY. It meant,
‘God’s not finished with me yet.’ And He’s not
finished with you either.

Sometimes we’re guilty of doing the wrong thing with the right motive. For example, in 1957 Ford Motors described the new
Edsel as ‘the car of the decade’. Try telling that to
all those drivers whose doors wouldn’t close,
whose horns stuck, and whose transmissions failed!
And remember the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy,
where the architect designed a 10-foot-deep
foundation for a 179-foot-tall building? How’d you
like to have that on your CV? The fact is, the most
talented people often make the biggest mistakes.

Solomon wrote, ‘There is not a righteous man on
earth who does what is right and never
sins’ (Ecclesiastes 7:20 NIV 1984 Edition). And
Paul added, ‘I am not perfect. But Christ has taken
hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to
take hold of the prize’ (Philippians 3:12 CEV). So,
stop beating yourself up. Shalom

Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

The question is not when He's coming, but if you are prepared like the wise virgin.

God is not the one ruling the world. The rate of sin in the world is license for the devil until his time finishes at rapture (Rev 12:12)

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

701ecilana:
JW are closet atheists. They are materialists. They don't believe in the supernatural realm.

How does one believe in God but doesn't believe in the afterlife?

I have not really given the after life part much thought. Thanks for the eye opening

Questions like this really makes me understand the Bible better.

Very simple!.

Was baby Jesus life threatened in Jerusalem?

Yes, so Joseph fled with him to Egypt and stayed there until Herod died (Matthew 2:13 23)
No. The family fled nowhere. They calmly presented the child at the Jerusalem temple according to the Jewish customs and returned to Galilee (Luke 2:21-40)


Note: I am not an atheist, I am just irreligious

my answer

The question was very tricky and yea, the nigga accused me of running away from his thread as though I viewed it before then, the thread actually had a controversial title which I felt would never happen, because to a large degree, not everyone would really see God face to face as he claimed he would have an excuse before God, what came to my mind was, that's if you actually see God, even Moses begged to see His glory.

Back to Business

The bone of contention is that Jesus never left the city of Bethlehem

Was baby Jesus life threatened in Jerusalem?

Bethlehem was the place of Jesus birth. Your Bad

Yes, so Joseph fled with him to Egypt and stayed there until Herod died (Matthew 2:13 23)

So correct, but I can't tell if it was immediately, a week later, a month later or 5 month later this fleeing happened

No. The family fled nowhere. They calmly presented the child at the Jerusalem temple according to the Jewish customs and returned to Galilee (Luke 2:21-40)

I agree with you that the Bible said they returned to Galilee and you should notice by now that Jerusalem is some distance from Bethlehem Judea, evidently some distance apart. So they travelled to Jerusalem to present Jesus at the temple some days after his circumcision. Let's say a 9 months so to say. Okay, am sorry, 1 year.

But I want to establish one fact, the wise men(not three) came all the way from the east following the star and they went to Jerusalem firstly before going to Bethlehem Judea where Jesus was born. Evidently, it was the day Jesus was born, that the Wiseman arrived at Jerusalem to see Herod and then travel to Bethlehem Judea before they met Jesus.

But note that an Angel appeared to the Wiseman, telling them not to return to Herod, cause the consequence could have led to the immediate death of Jesus, but that was Mission Impossible because the Angel appeared

Now, this is my submission

The bolded especially

Matt 2:16
16
KJV:Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

This verse shows that Herod last seen of the Wiseman was about two years.

I would say, the Angel that appeared to Joseph must have appeared after the presentation of Jesus to the temple and their return to Galilee seeing that those that were killed, were killed according to the time the Wiseman were seen, meaning that, it was for more than 1 year and let's say 11 months that Herod saw the Wiseman. So, many waters could have passed under the bridge you know

13
KJV:And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

And I guess some divine influence made him forget as the same divine power kept the delivering Moses inside Pharaoh palace and he was enjoy cartoon network and Up Man U inside the office of the CIA directors office, with his legs crossed and confirm Apple juice, blood of Moses, am salivating already.

Yea,

An2elect2:
charismatic/pentecostal Christians so called who would spend all their time talking about "kingdom benefits" with little or no talk about Jesus Christ have "demonised" this precious gift of the Holy Spirit given to some believers. Many are sceptical about it for good reasons.

Speaking in unknown tongues helps in edifying a believer not the church except there are interpreters. For the Spirit language is God speaking to God through a believer and that no man can understand except it is communicated in a tongue that is known. That's why Paul said he'd rather speak five words with his understanding in church than ten thousand in an unknown tongues 1Corinthians 14:19. When we gather we should be more concerned about everyone's edification than trying to show off or impress people with our gifts.

You mean salvation can also be demonized also. Because of the excessive preaching of it. Only God gives this things.

Moreso, tongues is used for prayer and intercession if you mind. Romans 8:26-27 and 1 corin 14:4,14-15.

Tongues builds and edifies Jude 1:20, 1 corin 14:4

About Paul saying 10000 words and five words. If I tell you that Paul was addressing exactly what he said in 1 Corin 14:40 would hint you, well, verse 39 might shock you also.


But what should I say about what Paul said, the. letter was written to address an abnormaly which came to the knowledge of Paul. I think its a pointless course. Bye

You preek dey stand to answer this one abi? and I mentioned you to explain some verses in thread but you take your slippers put am for armpit and run like bolt you no fit answe:6rlla feam... shioor

okay, I have a thread I created that made FP that I have not yet attended to. Lemme just say, I might not really have that much time to attend to many things at once. And I think the main reason I talk about things like this is basically to renew the mindset of the readers or viewers. I would check the mention, probably you said something that made me stop the talk. I'm not here to prove a point to anyone that is bent on not listening. Only interested fellas #Matt5:6

pressplay411:
Good for you.
But have you ever asked yourself what the d purpose of speaking in tongue is?
eu
Is it just to impress your pastor or the " or to communicate with foreigners?

Paul said I speak in tongues more than ye all. In another place, Jude 1:20, it says building up yourself on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. Another one said, he that prayeth in an unknown tongue edify himself. Romans 8:26 said, likewise the spirit helpeth our infirmities, because we do not know how to pray as we ought to. Lemme ask, how do intercede for countries like China and Pakistan where they need our prayer save by the spirits interference. I understand a part of speaking in tongues should address foreigners, that aspect is not under my control. If God want to use me to help get a message across in another language, left to Him, if otherwise, left to Him not me. The spirit controls all this things, but you won't understand. But the Bible talks about using tongues as a form of prayer.

1 Corin 14:14-15
14
KJV:For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful
15
KJV:What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.


Romans 8:26
26

KJV:Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

1 corin 14:4
KJV:He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Jude 1:20
20

KJV:But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

That's the problem of having a form of religion but denying the power withing it. The religious aspect of dutiful study, prayers, righteous living has blinded them to the "relationship" they should have instead, the formed another relationship based on the form of religion.

The bound they are in is extremely strong. To break free, they need Gods intervention (because they have it all tied together with their own answers) so that they can never see the truth.

The best we can do is to Pray for them in Love and attempt to help them see the purpose of Christ's sacrifice and coming.

you are right, their own answers and interpretations

OtemAtum:
Yahweh actually gave birth, though his sperm child wasn't Faulkin(Yeshua). However he made people to believe that Faulkin(Yeshua) was his sperm(biological) son. Read John 3:16 to discover the lie of Yahweh there. Imagine, he claimed that Faulkin was his only sperm(begotten) son in that passage.

OtemAtum:
So the children of God Almighty are the Israelites alone and others are the children of who abeg? God Almighty the father of Yahweh doesn't have some sets of people as his own while leaving out the rest. We all came out from God Almighty and it's obvious the Israelites are worshipping Yahweh, one of the numerous children of God Almighty, same way the Yoruba in that period were serving Olorun, Eshu, Ogene, Abassi the children of God Almighty in Nigeria. And in Mesopotamia annirthd Co, Enlil, Anu, Enki etc were the gods(children of God) they were worshipping back then h was the god they were worshipping in Persia in

days while Egypt embraced Ra etc and i worship Oshu-Ala-ye(Allah). All these were the children of God Almighty.

Read this Doctufos passage below:

You mean yahweh gave birth Which yahweh, Not our own Yahweh.

Ehmmm, about those that belong to God, like I would always say, the devil took authority or hijacked the earth from man. God gave authority to man, sin brought a barrier between God and man. So, God had to send Jesus to destroy sin, so we can go back to God. Before then, they offered sacrifices but on a yearly basis to cover their sins.

1 John 5:19
KJV:And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Luke 4:6
KJV:And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it

Many are still confused and scared when this topic is mentioned. Many claim the gifting is this and that. Well, I would just share my personal view about speaking in tongues and the things I have newly discovered about the gifting haven been a skeptic.

I created a thread initially which is more detailed on the topic, but I plan on making this one a bit short and precise.

https://www.nairaland.com/3885358/spiritual-experiences-encountered-christian

Okay, many times when I pray in tongues, I feel the words coming out from inside me as supposed to the gibberish many term it as. Jesus said in John 8:37-39

37
KJV:In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38
KJV:He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39
KJVBut this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

pressplay411:
There're some arguments that you can i is choose to agree to disagree simply cos theyhi're inconclusive. On that note, i say Nigerianall pastwoulors profane and desecrate the tongue based on biblical reference. You think days based on what your pastor says and does.No problem.

Well, am sorry to say this, I personal speak in tongues, moreso, I was a skeptic like you, but lemme just say, I speak as the Holy Spirit giveth me utterance. If I try to speak it on my own accord, I won't enjoy it, moreso I would get tayad easily. I have prayed in tongues for hours and I can say on the average, 3-4 hours and I would say I love it and I don't feel I'm forcing myself to mutter words or something. It was so easy to pray this way, not to talk about the fragrance that comes with the presence of God that you just don't wanna let go of when I pray in tongues

shadeyinka:
What do you expect of a religion that believes that he'll doesn't exist. A religion that believes that once a person dies, he doesn't exist again.

I am not surprised.

I was debating a JW along this line some days ago, and I happen to ask the same question. but he waved it. Something was telling me on the inside that such would be happening. Though this thread just happen to affirm my claim.


I wonder why anyone would want to suffer so much in this present world, knowing he can put an end to his or her suffering and it all ends there. Its like saying, if I sweep my room, I won't be arrested. But sweeping becomes very hard a thing to do, when I know I would be arrested, I would be careful how I sweep. pls, sir or ma, if you have any means of exposing this JW folks, I would advise it would be a just one cause many people and supposedly, generations to come would fall into such menace.

blingxx:
yet it's still the bible if it was another religion now this thread would have made front page since

even seun and lalasticlala would see no need to move a dumb thread as this to FP, why is that, because no present prove of the adherence of any Christian to the supposed verse, unlike the blood thirsty 72 virgin seeking sheeple in another religion who pray ceaselessly to a one direction black stone, and claim they would be rewarded according to their religious book.

0temAtum:
And u tink God should be interested in teaching people how to fight and make war with fellow humans Think deep, the person teaching David war is that one God?

Well, Goliath was a threat to the children of God, all thanks to David though, but I guess there are a lot of thing you must understand before you understand Christianity.

Lemme just say, God looks at our spirit, if the spirit in there is not one with God, whatever spirit that resides on their inside would determine the action God enforces.

I see nothing bad in God appointing David to kill a disobedient set of individual, who are neck bent on trying to prevent that which God has planned aforetime.

By the way, if God enforces the killing, there is no sin in it, because God choses who and determines who is a sinner and who's not

@bellooyin aaccountable1, chasethecash



it's a write up for those caught in the curb web, (both in the past and presently) which I termed religion, I used the term inconsistency or networks of cables(confused set of personnels, clueless personnel, set of blinded folks led by the blind- religious preachers esp the Jehovah Witness and the Mary Mary folks), who really love God but the best their preacher could still offer them is religion(manmade way of worship which God doesn't delight in), and I also used the word clueless. Still talking about religion. Later, I talked about having a true experience of who God is and I broke free from religion.

Religion is man-made. Religion is a curb web many Christians are caught up in, eventually those who have experienced religion, turn out been worse when they it would be expected they better off.

I guess I wrote it and I could understand it better the more I look into it.

Spider webs are networking of cables usually used in referring to those who are often time seemingly clueless. I have tasted and experienced the gift of God and the awesomeness of the Holy Spirit and I can say, this is the real deal.

Well, I was an ignorant fool, enslaved by religion. Religion is not Gods program for man. Man desiring control and success often time are caught in the curbweb of Churches, esp when the seemingly serious once whose believes are haphazard in nature, seemingly portray themselves as the real deal and. other things fall to place..

David was a king, he was a warrior and he had an army.

By the way, who wrote the book of Psalms, yea, its David, moreso, which bloody Christian have you seen shouting hallelujah and chopping heads off. Well, some claim atheist are intellectual, I'm reweighing that assertion. Hahn, watin you think
