@KnowAll
permit me to ask you.Have you given to God what is God's?do you know what belongs to God that you have?if you know that,your question is almost answered

@rotimy
that's a lot of art you just described.

@bindex
you continue to entertain me by your belief in this passage and disbelief in the other passages like God dividing the Red Sea

January 20 Proverbs 20:13
13. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
The Word of God is truth.It is complete.If we would read it and obey it,we'll be fulfilled both now and in eternity.God doesn't encourage laziness.He wants us to be active,He wants us to study.He has given us the brains.Researchers say even professors do not use up to 50% of their 'brainpower'.There's so much untapped. God is great.He says love not sleep,lest thou come to poverty.You can't afford to be dull.You need to work.Faith without work is dead.Many people have turned their faith into laziness.There's so much potential but too much sleep,procrastination,inactivity. They expect God to do everything for them.They mistake fluke for favour,but you know what God wants for you?good success,defined and consistent success.Open your eyes and you will be satisfied.Many spend the greater time percentage of their prayers on mundane things.Looking at Christ's model prayer(Our Father),this ought not to be so.Pray more spiritually,then open your eyes and you'll be satisfied with bread.watch.Be the first and be the best.You have all it takes for you're wonderfully made.

January 19 Luke 19v31
31. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Real givers are rare today. Its hard to find people who give freely.Of course,there are some faithful and cheerful givers,but they're not many. As believers,we need to learn to give without resentment.Give all.Give even without hope of reward. Some people can never give their money if there's no hope of profit,some people will never give their talent if there will be no monetary gain. Many will not give their time if there'll be no favour.Many will not give their hearts if there's no promise of an 'edge'.Some people will not give their colt just because the Lord has need of him.They need/must have a bigger reason.A more palatable and 'profitable' excuse.All the scripture passages need to be available to back it up.Today,we need the heart of disciples.Hearts of true obedience.Made in Heaven.The grace to just obey.Simple obedience.Because the Lord hath need of him.That is the kind of obedience that brings down the commandment of blessing.It is the obedience that fulfils the will and the word of God. May God give us such obedience.

Bonke doesn't work miracles. Its God that works miracles through him.and it is appointed to man once to die,after this the judgement.God doesn't go about raising people from the dead for bindex's fancy.He's not a magician.raising people from the dead are/not priority.Its a miracle of mercy to be given such a rare second chance.I wonder why you barely even acknowledge that the man was 'miraculously raised from your beloved coma'.everything else has to be true to you except God.you go and do your personal research on the matter.

Bindex just keeps popping up.Troubled soul. I pray that you find true rest. Christ Jesus can give you rest. He knocks at the door of your heart.

@bindex
that your copy and paste I must say is a 'mishmash of lies'. I'm sure as a rational person,you properly verified the story in which you put your little faith.
@poster
We are not 'the chosen ones'.There's nothing like that in the bible.The chosen ones are all who have been born of God whether gentile or jew.

A bishop must not be a novice 1Timothy3:6. If He's truly converted,let him chill on the pew.Learning in patience

Until we see Jesus in him,he remains a 'dog for life' like he says.put it in the bible cracks thread till then.lol

I think this should be in the Bible cracks thread.

@chrisbenogor
engineer,hello.Before we enter this travel,do you believe in the supernatural ability of God or any other person so thing for that matter?It would help our discussions if you believed engr.

@bindex
hi,how was today's service.o,sorry you're atheist.what a pity,you don't believe in miracles and you're desperate to see one.and as desperate as you are,you wouldn't even believe that any miracle in an crusade anywhere can be real.why,you have EVIDENCE that All miracles are stage managed.I'm almost certain you've seen at least 3stage managed miracles live before.That's why you concluded that way. of course,that's the way you rational people do your things.You've been to many different pastors miracle crusades before,you even wrote some of the staged dramas.You truly have Evidence.you done your homework and you've been scored

January 18 John 18:28
28. Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgement: and it was early, and they themselves went not into the judgement hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
Look at this people,scribes and pharisees.hypocrites. These Jews led Jesus Christ to the hall of judgement. But they themselves would not enter the hall of judgement so that they wouldn't be defiled.THEY WANTED TO EAT PASSOVER.They were going to crucify the Lord of glory,for no just reason and yet,they didn't want to be defiled by entering the hall of judgement! Imagine. They had blasphemed and mocked Christ. They had smitten Jesus with the palm of the hand and they didn't want to be defiled by entering the judgement hall. What sort of thing is this? They'll rather move the people to cry out 'Crucify Him,Away with Him,His blood be on us and on our children', so that they can eat the passover. They'll be pleased to cut off the head of the person who has a speck in his eye,than make effort to see or remove the log of wood protruding out of their own eye. This is hypocrisy. Do not be a hypocrite.From today,take more time to examine your own self and your own spirituality instead of spending time and venom criticising others.Critics are usually blind to their own faults. Don't be a hypocrite.

@bindex
do you have a list of the names of all the scientists in your room,or you have ability to revoke their license.take am easy o.
About miracles,I've told you that you're incapable of understanding them except of course you become spiritual.If you're never seen a miracle and you're so particular about seeing one,simply go to a crusade with sickpeople,chances are that you'll see one.Or travel down to Asia,meet all this people who swallow swords and hang in the air.Anybody can work miracle this days.I bed to this later

@ow11
scientists are particular about evidence,they shouldn't then finish in belief.They should conclude with evidence or clearly state always that what they're talking about is a learned probability.They should practice what they preach,that's all.To say that man probably came from africa is different from saying that man came from africa.We understand possibility but assertion need proof-backing.

@chrisbenogor
so you do not believe that Noah's ark existed,too bad.I wouldn't like to derail the thread but can you tell me why you do not believe?
@bindex
have dismissed some scientists conclusions as fairy tale because those conclusions lack evidence.they're mere probabilities and 'educated' guesses.Why should scientists say that a particular chinese dynasty existed at a date far before the chinese believed.yes,they excavated and discovered but they don't know for sure who lived there then.why then conclude assertively.mr,sleep I have to. I'll respond later

@m_nwankwo
Don't mind me o.I was telling ow11 to provide the FACTS that he was continually talking about,but since he wasn't able/willing to produce them,I guessed well maybe He's passing the buck to you,that why I mentioned your name. I asked you to speak with laymen like us on the origin of man,but since its esoteric to you,well.
The concepts you listed are easy to define,anyone can copy and paste,fortunately,that's not my interest. the concepts listed are not beyond me,I just would not like to bore myself with such 'Ph.D knowledge' and details. Lets talk about what my grandmother can understand.The origin of man doesn't need to be that privileged.Tell us how Africa must be where the 1st mans came from.What happens if an older fossil is discovered in europe this afternoon,Is it possible to have a family of 8start our race?

@bindex
you don't want to say you've never heard about 'debates' and documentaries that give conclusions that what the bible is saying is wrong.That is what is called 'trying to disprove the bible'.scientists have evidence that there was once a global flood.They may not all believe in anything called Noah but they know that sometime ago,millions or thousands of years ago,water covered the world.
You're listing miracles for science to verify,its a pity you don't believe in miracles.How could science explain money in a fish's mouth,water turned to wine,blind man healed?its not done,its impossible.The natural CANNOT fully comprehend the supernatural.you continue to mention islam. Do you have a problem with them?Take your issues to them and stop complaining to me.I see Judges1v19 is very believable to you,but the records of victories all over the book of course never happened abi? How hypocritical.

@bindex
you'll take science as a joke?you don't know about scientists who hold opposing views about global flood? hmm,study harder.Maybe you're not clear about my scope of who I refer to as scientists.I don't only refer to people who support my views as scientists.I refer to All the science people,whether Newton or Darwin,whether believer or unbeliever.They may be pastors,they may be atheists.I regard them all who are into science and its research methods as scientists.some people,educated,Drs(Ph'D) have belief in global flood.some of them believe in what you call Noah's flood,some believe in something else that they also call global flood.Their beliefs/unbelief are not what move me.their evidence or lack of evidence is not my foundation.the primary reason why I responded to your talk about flood was your discussion with someone else that science had disproven the possibility of a global flood.I then told you that some scientists consider such possibility. Their consideration or possible evidence is not my reason for believing,neither would I build my faith on it no matter how compelling the evidence.because I live by faith,not by sight.That's one statement you're not permitted to understand except you believe.

Whoops,I really got mail.
@ow11

just so you know,the piltdown man was a hoax

you should hear yourself mr. So I'm to believe that you intended to trap me,how?by cunning/deceit. Interesting tactic you've got there,but it may not click well with your faith. Anyway the piltdown man lasted for more than 40yrs and had many experts involved.so much for 'how scientists work'

@ow11
thanks for the appreciation and encouragement.keep praying for us to keep them coming.take care

@xtolove
God looks at the art,don't you know?se you go pay my school fees?

@rotimy
remember God looks at the art.

O come,let us worship and bow down.let us kneel before the Lord OUR maker.O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.fear before Him,all the earth.The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.Make a joyful noise unto the Lord,ALL the earth.make a loud noise,and rejoice,and sing praise.Exalt the Lord our God,and worship at His holy hill,for the Lord our God is holy.Know ye that the Lord He is God.It is He that hath made us,and not we ourselves. We are His people,and the sheep of His pasture.All glory be to you Lord.

January 16 Revelation 16v15
15. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
I like Apostle Peter,he made us aware that the devil is walking about.He is around.He is the thief that comes to steal to kill and to destroy. He wants to steal the garments of the righteous.He wants to steal your garment of righteousness.BEWARE.If you hang it outside to dry,he may steal it.Even if you put it in your wardrobe,he may steal it. Wear it.Put it on always.That way,it becomes more difficult for the devil to steal it.Keep your garments,so that you do not walk naked. And He says watch.Blessed is he that watcheth.You need to be sober to watch.You can't watch effectively if you're drunk. You can't watch well if you're frivolous.
Even when you're wearing your garments,the devil wants to stain you.He wants to destroy the garment.He wants to tear it.You need to watch.Christian,resist the devil and he will FLEE from you.Don't give him space.Don't give him chance. Watch and keep.Watch and pray. Don't just say I'm saved and forever saved.Keep yourself in the love of God. Even when others(the church,the brethren,your pastor/leader) fail to watch over you,KEEP YOUR GARMENTS.

@ow11
good morning.even if I did not go to science class,at least I have a dictionary.I just took out my Longman's dictionary of contemporary english.It's easy for many to access.Thank you longman.According to Longman,a THEORY is an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain something about life or the world,ESPECIALLY ONE THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN PROVED TO BE TRUE . Hypothesis is an IDEA that is SUGGESTED as a possible way of explaining a situation,proving an idea etc, WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN SHOWN TO BE TRUE.
Now its possible that you may have more scientific definitions o,but laychildren like us can more easily grasp the meaning of this things from our small dictionary.Like you said,theories,hypothesis and principles are the tools of scientists.You let them work with their tools and stop calling them PROVED FACTS.they are not! Also,I've not called scientists all those names you're calling them like bullshit and airhead. I've only said they should stop LYING to us,claiming facts from suggestions.I'm not 'disproving' their research.What I'm against are conclusions that have no proof.Conclusions like man came from subsahara africa.conclusions like there was no flood during the time of Noah.And don't talk about saving me from ridicule,I JUST spared your blushes about 'piltdown man'.You're on the internet ow11,not in my village.People can easily check up things here so be more careful with your assertions.I believe what the bible told me about Adam and Eve being the first man in our race,and how God told them to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.so if I find them in any part of the earth's surface,I know immediately that this ones are from Adam,replenishing the earth.I believe the bible as fact,you don't seem to.so you give us your EVIDENCE and proved FACTS and lets see it or just only believe the bible.

Amen and amen

Theories,principles and hypothesis.That's all you've got?where are the overwhelming facts and evidences that do not corroborate.m_nwankwo is the one to produce them.You need to do a lot of reading if you're going to be defending these hypotheses.B T W. From where did Cain's Bride and her family originate?don't tell us 'from the big bang' please. Give us answers with facts.

@ow11
hi,since it seems you're overwhelmed by the EVIDENCEs of science,you can simply and constructively show us such evidence.show us how a chromosome will tell us that humans came from subsaharan Africa.show us how without shadow of doubt,'Noah's' flood of some thousand years ago is an impossible joke while a flood of 10million or 26,000yrs ago is just too sure.The problem is that people would rather believe any other thing but the bible.archaeologists and scientists are ready to tell you that some dynasty existed in China thousands of years ago where blood was raining from the sky for days,but find it impossible that Jesus even existed 2000yrs ago.Their conclusions are so faulty and devoid of proof/evidence.Its all majorly probability.A probability it should remain,not an 'evidence' to disprove the bible.

Modern Science has not corroborated ANYTHING written in the bible

I must say here that you're lost.The bible is not subject to science.It is above it.It is supernatural,not natural.The natural does not understand,they're foolishness to him.They professing to be wise became fools.It is such folly that we're against.so that perhaps they may turn and repent.and so that they do not draw other 'weak' believers into the error of the wicked.How can they explain Sarah conceiving,how can they explain Lot's wife becoming a pillar of salt,how can they explain the miracle of global judgement(flood and fire to come),how can they explain Moses' brazen serpent in the wilderness,how can they explain Christ's resurrection.These things are above natural,not subject to science.I've said the truth of how they go about their research and conclusions.You go and verify,or show me that its a lie.I did not bring the bible into a science classroom,they did.They asked and did not believe.Do you believe?

@bindex
hi,sorry I've not been available to reply you.I've being busy all day and may so be till next week.About your request for evidence to show that geology attests to global flood,simply pick up a earth science textbook or even check on the internet.Notice however that I said 'they attest to global flood'.even more than one.Every serious geologist believes that the whole world has been covered by water before.The only thing is that they have different opinions concerning it.Trust scientists now,they behave confused about every little thing and may end up confusing the casual observer.Some believe the earth was covered up with water,flowing water.some believe it was ice. It depends on the link you're reading from,each of them give their reasons for their belief.In the textbooks,their differing THEORIES are both listed/defined.Some believe flood happened once while some believe it happens at intervals.They're not agreed on the intervals either.Some believe the Noah's flood was the most recent,some others think the last flood was much earlier.The basic thing is that they all believe that the world was earlier covered up by water(liquid or ice).
Also,I'm not saying scientific explanations are all fairy tale.please,don't get me wrong.I've said it before and I say it again.I appreciate the advance of science,both christian and non-christian scientists.What I'm against is the use of unreal evidence,probability,myths and extrapolations by scientists to make assertions and try to disprove the bible.I showed you a 'scenario' of how some of these assertions are made.If I'm wrong please show it.I've continually found God's word to be true and without fault even after trial.For you to fully understand it,you need your spirit in tune with God,if not the most simple of sentences in the Word of God will continue to look foolish to you.Have faith in God.

January 15 Proverbs 15:8
8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. KJV

The Word of God refers to the sinner as the wicked.You don't necessarily have to be Pharaoh or Hitler to be considered wicked. The wicked will be turned to hell.The wicked are also referred to as the foolish.Anybody who is not born of God (born again),anyone who does not have a pure heart and 'enough oil' is the wicked. And our Today's passage says that 'the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord'. Imagine that. Almost everybody knows that the sins of the wicked are abominable to God.But his/her sacrifice?! Some people are not born again/have not accepted Jesus as Saviour/are still sinners/have not given their lives to God and they are making sacrifice.
They're sowing their salary to the work of God,they're giving their life's savings to the cause of the gospel. They're spending sleepless nights at the choir practice,they're giving a lot to the poor and needy. A lot of sacrifice,and wonder of wonders,it is abomination to the Lord. Detestable.The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination to God.Unreasonable service. Well,repent if needs be so that your sacrifice will become a labour of love. The prayer of the upright is God's delight.Are you upright? Are you praying? Are you delighting God? Are you bringing joy to heaven? Do you really pray? The upright prayer.The upright's prayer. Let's take joy to heaven today with our prayer.
