Jesus said:
“I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come" John 16:12-13
So if you limit your reasoning to just what you find in a verse then you can never decipher the import of what you're reading. You need to consider other verses in the scriptures that's related to that particular topic.
The Pharisees and Sadducees produced Nicodemus who secretly went to Jesus at night and admitted saying:
“Rabbi, WE KNOW that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one can perform these signs that you perform unless God is with him.” John 3:2
Note that Nicodemus didn't say "i know" but "WE KNOW" he was referring to all the members of his group as a whole that these people realized that Jesus is truly the promised Christ.
What was their problem?
Well the Bible book of John 11:48 is the eyeopener, they don't want to loose their position which is the major factor behind their wealth just like the other young politician.
So it's his possessions that Luke noticed but the scriptures further expatiate that most people love prestige and high position in the society!

Baba you don't know what you're saying.. Abeg rest

LordReed:


Because the damage doesn't occur all at once so smokers can enjoy their smokes for quite awhile before they see any adverse effects. Some may never see any adverse effects at all. For them it's worth the risk to continue to enjoy their smokes.

This is normal human behaviour, we weigh the pros and cons and do what we think is worth the risk.

So cancer is worth the risk? I don't believe smokers are 8n their right senses.

This is a question we have asked over 20yrs ago. Just think about it and you will get your own answer.

Everything we consume technically destroys us one way or another....some just destroys faster than the other...

LOL.. So clean water destroys us? Haba na

I found this empty cigarette pack on the floor today. It clearly states a warning about smoking. It shows the difference between the lungs of a smoker and a non smoker.

My question is this: Why do people still ignore this warning and smoke? And why do cigarette companies still, with this knowledge sell cigarettes?

psalmz:
save the olosho money boss

Okay sir. What should I use the money for instead?

MaxInDHouse:

Sorry his fellow Jews directly talked about their position which is the major reason they failed to appreciate Christ! John 11:48

MaxInDHouse:


Hmmmmmmmm i pray that you know how to meditate thoroughly after reading God's word!

A young Jew (politician) walked up to Christ and asked:
"what must I do to inherit everlasting life?” {Luke 18:18} Jesus reminded this young man what was written in the laws given to Israelites and the young man enthusiastically responded:
“All of these I have kept from youth on" {Luke 18:21} at hearing that Jesus immediately love this young man {Mark 10:21} and said:
“There is still one thing lacking about you: Sell all the things you have and distribute the proceeds to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come be my follower" Luke 18:22

Now ask yourself what exactly could have saddened that young man who has kept all the laws of God right from his youth?

Well it's his position in the society as a politician and don't forget that Satan who is the overall ruler of the world {John 14:30; 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} has given this man so much wealth {Luke 4:5-7} all these are the things Jesus demanded that the young man should do away with if he truly desire the kingdom of God! Luke 18:23

So we don't make decisions for people unless they ask us for help just as the young Jewish politician did, we only use the scriptures to guide interested persons. Now make your own PERSONAL conclusion on what happened between that young Jewish politician and the man we refer to as Lord Jesus.

May you have PEACE!

No na.. He wasn't sad because of his position as a politician.. He was sad because he had great possessions.. that's what the Bible said.. Why you dey twist Scripture na?

MaxInDHouse:


Read Luke 18:18-23

Then tell me what you grasp from the story of a law abiding politician who went to Jesus for blessing.

I'm what way does that tell believers to have nothing to do with politics?

psalmz:

Oginizi? You sabi any place? Why this one dey shine teeth?

We did yesterday.its a noble act to pray for Nigeria at this time.because many Nigerians have lost hope in this country.we have to pray to God to give Nigeria a compasionate leader that would positively transform the lives of the ordinary populace.May God help us.

Amen, brother... Amen!

MaxInDHouse:

I'm talking about true disciples of Christ who has nothing to do with politicians!

They are the agents of evil spirits that's ruling the world since they're working with them. We are the seed of the woman! Genesis 3:15



It's not the flesh in them that's our enemies rather it's the spirit they've sold their souls to!

Do you have any Scripture that categorically states that a Christian should have absolutely nothing to do with politics?

LilMissFavvy:
When Christians fail to pray for good leadership, then they should not cry when evil men rule them.

Abi o.. Not just praying but also voting according to Scripture

SWATMan:

MaxInDHouse:


Of course we mention them in our prayers so that they may not disturb our ministry with their worthless governments, Jesus is coming to destroy them all! Daniel 2:44

I discern that you have hatred towards the government. Don't you know what the Bible has to say about hatred towards fellow mankind?

LordReed:


LoLz! Where did I say that?

Ah ah? Have you forgotten? In one of our other chats I asked you what would make you believe in Jesus and you said that you would believe if He spoke to you and told you that He want your life..

MaxInDHouse:

If you know what God's Kingdom means you'll realize that they are supposed to be our enemies because they're agents of Satan's government {Luke 4:6} while we are preaching for God's government. Matthew 24:14
Vladimir Putin of Russia labelled us "terrorists" not because we're terrorizing or killing anyone but due to the fact that those accepting our message will not pick up weapons in support of any human government just as Russians are going to kill Ukrainians today due to Putin's orders.

Do you now see why we have no business with them? John 15:19; 17:14

Lol.. You said 'Our Enemies' am I to take that as meaning you have accepted me as a Christian?

Also, our true enemies are not flesh and blood. Our true enemies are the evil spirits that rule this world.

MaxInDHouse:


Of course we mention them in our prayers so that they may not disturb our ministry with their worthless governments, Jesus is coming to destroy them all! Daniel 2:44

You don't know they can be an immense help to your ministry?

LordReed:


So I need to speak into thin air first?

Says the guy to waiting to first be spoken to out of thin air.

MaxInDHouse:
We are praying for God's Kingdom (God's government) to come! Matthew 6:10

1 Timothy 2:1-2 NASB95 — First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

The Word of God is the final authority.

May you have peace!

dattaswami1:

DO NOT ASK ANY THING FROM GOD WHICH IS EITHER RELATED TO PRESENT OR FUTURE

Do not ask any thing from God which is either related to present or future. When you ask some thing in present or some thing in the future, it clearly means that you are reminding Him about the corresponding reaction that is to be immediately implemented in the need. This indirectly means that God is not alert as you are.

This is insulting God. Due to such sin the requirement is not answered. If you are asking to protect yourself or somebody else, it indirectly means that He is not aware of the things to be done due to the irresponsibility and this also indicates that He is not as kind as yourself.

It means that God has potency to help but not kind enough to render the help. On contrary, it also means that you lack unfortunately the potency. It means if you fortunately have the potency you could have immediately responded and helped. Therefore, when ever you ask for anything it clearly means indirectly that God has some type of defect, which does not exist in your case.
When you ask Him to fulfill the desire it looks as if that your desire is constitutionally justified. But God is not positively reacting due to either lack of positive response immediately or due to lack of knowledge of the constitution or due to lack of kindness to help the needy. All these points are very very subtle. But God is the most subtle and therefore, the knowledge of this analysis will certainly restrict you from asking any fulfillment of your desire.

Never bring present and future before God. Confine to the past always before God. Look back at your past life. Hundreds of incidents are there where you were helped by God. Even if you dispose some incidents through the incidental probability of success or through the efficiency of your efforts, certainly there are plenty of instances in which the help from God is clearly evident. At least remember those few incidents and express your gratefulness along praise to God for His kind help that was already done.

The word Krutajnata means remembering the past help. Kruta means the past help done. Jna means identifying it by analysis. If you confine to praying the Lord and thanking Him always about the past helps from Him, the Lord will be immensely pleased. Then the present and future are spontaneously taken care of by the God. But do not adopt this technique with a mind that you will be helped by God in the present and in the future by following this procedure!

You should really follow this path and you should really forget the present and the future. When large number of people came to hear the message from Jesus, they were hungry by the noon. This point was brought to the notice of Jesus. He never asked God to provide food for those hungry people who came to hear God’s word.

Had He asked for that, He would have insulted God. God knows His responsibility very well towards the devotees who came there to hear about Him. God has the power to fulfill His responsibility even in the last fraction of second. Had Jesus told God to bless the devotees with food, it clearly means that God is not as kind as Jesus. Jesus never asked for any thing. He came to know that there were four breads. He took them and showed to sky. He thanked God for providing those four pieces of bread.

Immediately the present was responded and the four breads became four thousand breads. This application of analysis is limited to Nivrutti only. You should not extend this to Pravrutti. When you are hungry you have to beg the other souls because they are not omniscient to know that you are hungry. Pravrutti and Nivrutti should never be mixed.

Universal Spirituality for World Peace

I'm sure you don't expect me to read this long story.

Wilgrea7:


Often times in discussions, when we ask for certain proofs, for example, proof of the existence of their specific god, they often point to things like the nature of the universe.

While the existence of the universe and everything in it can indicate the existence of a creator/creators, that's about as far as it goes.

Claims that the creator is a single entity, or that it has certain characteristics, or wants to do certain things, is often based on beliefs that lack evidence to back them up.

For example, nothing I've seen so far, stops the universe from having multiple Creators, or a female one.. or one that simply doesn't care for us.. or one that's evil.. or one that just wants to sit back and watch us without interfering.. or one that's way beyond what we could ever come close to perceiving.

In my opinion.. most religious stories that try to convey a concept of god, seem to do so based on what they think a god should be like, rather than what actually is.. because if we're being honest.. we know very, very little, about what actually is

The bible doesn't in anyway indicate that it is a book written by people speculating about God.

Indeed the Bible claims supernatural inspiration from God Himself.

LordReed:


Apologetics is not evidence.

So what constitutes evidence? Oh.. I forgot.. You are waiting for Jesus to speak to you audibly when you yourself haven't been speaking to Him and seeking Him for yourself.

How man of you here are really praying for our country? Our leaders? Huh? I know I'm not.

We need to get rid of this spirit of apathy towards political stuff in Naija. Especially this our generation.

How many young Nigerians really know the history of this country? How many millenials can name all the heads of state we've had in Nigeria since independence?

Patriotism needs to be preached now more than ever. Amen.

Unyimekelvin:
like what are you trying to say now, I needed advice not this shit you are saying.

lol

lionness:
I was in church today and was verse of the Bible was quoted by my pastor: 1 Samuel 17:36 ► "Your servant has struck down both lions and bears, and this uncircumcised Philistine (Goliath) shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”

This statement bothered me because I did my masters in the UK in Zoology, and distinctly remembered learning that Lions are mainly found in Africa, and a tiny species in only India. The rest are found in zoos. Now could a lion be in Israel? And then, the word "Bears" also confused me. There are different types of bears in Asia, and I learn years ago that they are called Asian black bears, and they are only found in a different topography of Asia, and never in the Middle East, and the Asian Black Bears only feed on fruits, grasses, and insects, and could have never been a treat to David sheep. And these bears are only found in China, Bangladesh, and Russia, and they are the size of Pandas.

I dont often question the teachings of the Bible, but this gross discrepancy got me confused. And please dont tell me I dont have faith, my entire families are Christian, and my own father was the pastor who quoted this verse this morning while preaching in his church. I need an explanation.

The Israel that King David lived in is not the same Israel of the 21st century. 1 Samuel was written in 550BC, which was thousands of years ago, so obviously there are things that were true about ancient Israel that aren't true about modern day Israel.

For instance, I heard that lions used to be in my village in Delta State during the days of my grandfather. But today there are no more lions there.

Capisce?

LordReed:
The bible says it was to fulfil a prophecy so was it fulfilled?

Duh?!
