14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 

15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 

16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. 

17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 

18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 

19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 

20  But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. 

21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. 

22 I love God’s law with all my heart. 

23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 

24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?

These verse shows Paul was fighting sin. But at the bolded, does it mean when we sin, God won't blame us or what. I need answers from Bible scholars.. Thanks

But he is actually.
The Christian god is just like Santa Claus.
If you do bad, he pens your name down in the bad book, and no gifts for you.
If you do good, he sends you gifts.
Christian adults are no different from kids.

God gives you the gift of life and health, and the gift of sowing and reaping, sunshine and rain. Be grateful, duh.

sonmvayina:
All I see here are just your opinion.. No biblical backing... So I can ignore them..

The definition of serious answers being what you want to hear.

I knew you'd miss the Bible verse i quoted, so i opted not to waste your time further.

kingxsamz:
Yes nw.
Just answer.

Caught lying again.

kingxsamz:
It's a simple question.
Do you have sex there?
Do you grow old?
Are there misunderstandings?
Can there be conflict?
If you died as a child, will you appear there as a child? If yes, would you grow up? Do old people grow more or stay the same way forever?
Can one fall sick, be open to infections, or sustain injury?
Will there be respect for the elderly from the children, or will everyone be equal?
Would your internal organs still exist there? If it stopped performing its functions, could you die? If your internal organs are still there, what's the use if you can't die?
Can you fall in love there?

Well, if you're unable to get angry, get into a fight have sex, sing songs that aren't Christian like, procreate, learn new stuff, and have to praise and worship a god forever, then you're a robot.

And you will follow Jesus Christ and believe in God right after the reply to these? Ochisko Oshiomode

sonmvayina:
I have wrestled with the concepts of Heaven and Hell but I have never found a clear explanation for the questions I have in my mind so I’ll ask the following questions and hope I get serious answers by a religious expert in this group, for each question. I’ll ignore smart remarks or any attempt at humour.

The definition of serious answers being what you want to hear.

First of all, for the concepts of Hell and Heaven to exist, one has to accept mind-body dualism, a view in the philosophy of mind that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical, or that the mind and body are distinct and separable. In many religions, the dualist concept has been regarded as true, and that part of the mind, the soul, survives death and will eternally exist in Heaven or Hell depending how you lived your life.
Here are the questions that I would like to see answered with biblical scripture to back up your assertions:
1-Where are the locations of Heaven and Hell in the universe? Can they be found beyond our local solar system? Between Jupiter and Mars?

You cannot ask questions that the Bible does not answer like geography and solar system questions. Does the Bible mention the solar system for you to ask for Bible proof that the hell or Heaven is in a location known to you. Heaven and Hell are not in the physical realm. We need new bodies to access any of them.
1Co 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption
1Co 15:54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

2-When babies die young and go to Heaven, do they grow up in Heaven or remain in Heaven as babies for eternity

Where do you get this concept of going to Heaven?

3-When people are born with a mental disability, does their intelligence and cognitive functioning improve when they reach Heaven? Is there a change to the cognitive functioning of those without mental disabilities during their time alive on earth?
4-Do the minds of Alzheimer’s victims continue to exhibit cognitive deterioration throughout eternity or do Alzheimer’s victims regain their cognitive faculties as they were prior to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease?

5-Will people, who because of some accident or disease, suffer from complete amnesia in either Heaven or Hell and, thus start a second life, lose the first part of their lives or do they have two souls?

No sickness in Heaven.

6-Which marriage will be restored in Heaven for divorced people? How are marriage arrangements managed in Heaven?

Jesus said no marriage in Heaven.

7-Will people who die at an advanced age, in their 90s or more, stay old for eternity?

Everyone would have new bodies in Heaven.

8-Will people in Heaven, knowing that some of their family or friends are in Hell still be at peace with that knowledge?

Yes.

9-Will some people be elated in Heaven when they know that their enemies are in Hell?

Yes

10-Would all knowledge be revealed to everybody? Does everyone have the same level of knowledge in Hell and Heaven?

No. The Bible does not teach that anyone will become Omniscient. But hidden things and secrets will be revealed.

kingxsamz:
So you guys can't have sex there?
Sorry o.

We both know why you have no interest in going to Heaven. You are grossly misguided.

kingxsamz:
Well, I talk about Jon snow on Facebook group chats. Plus I don't believe in any devil, you do.

You are not the first boy to have doubts about his paternity.

AntiChristian:
By Austin Cline

Christians point to Jesus’ resurrection as one of the things which distinguish Christianity from all other religions. After all, the founders of other religions (like Muhammad salallahu 'alayhi wa salam and Buddha) are all dead; Jesus conquered death. Or did he? For something so important and central to the message, theology, and very nature of Christianity, it’s curious that the gospel authors would all have such radically different stories about what happened

.

Ehyah, another muslin mourns. Lemme ease you out of your pain and misery a little.

Jesus’ First Resurrection Appearance
The resurrection of someone dead is an important event, but the Gospels don’t seem to know where and when Jesus first appeared.
Mark 16:14-15 - Jesus appears to Mary Magdalena, but it’s not clear where (in older endings of Mark, he didn’t appear at all)
Matthew 28:8-9 - Jesus first appears near his tomb
Luke 24:13-15 - Jesus first appears near Emmaus, several miles from Jerusalem
John 20:13-14 - Jesus first appears at his tomb

Mar 16:9  Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 

You quoted a wrong text, are you drunk or you do not verify things before swallowing them hook, line and sinker?
Luke did not say anything about Jesus appearing FIRST near Emmaus, you are a cheap liar. The gospels of John and Mark corroborate the fact that Jesus FIRST appeared to Mary Magdalene. You don't have to lie to convince people that the Bible is lying, duh.

Who Sees Jesus First?
Mark - Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalena then later to “the eleven”
Matthew - Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalena, then to the other Mary, and finally to ”the eleven”
Luke - Jesus appears first to “two,” then to Simon, then to “the eleven”
John - Jesus appears first to Mary Magdalena, then the disciples without Thomas, then the disciples with Thomas

Here you are forgetting to lie that the Bible did not say that Jesus appeared first to Mary. You see kid, you need to lie more to cover up a lie. You seem new to this art. We repented of it long ago, thanks to Jesus. Remember to quote where Luke recorded that Jesus appeared FIRST to two. Everybody has a Bible, only you have what you are smoking so you need to show some more proof.

Women’s Reactions to the Empty Tomb
The gospels agree that the empty tomb was found by women (though not which women), but what did the women do?
Mark 16:8 - The women were amazed and afraid, so they kept quiet
Matthew 28:6-8 - The women ran away “with great joy.”
Luke 24:9-12 - The women left the tomb and told the disciples
John 20:1-2 - Mary told the disciples that the body had been stolen

Mat 28:8  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 

No contradiction whatsoever. You deliberately misinformed people about Matthew's account again.

Jesus’ Behavior After His Resurrection
If someone rises from the dead, his actions should be significant, but the gospels don’t agree on how Jesus first behaved
Mark 16:14-15 - Jesus commissions “the eleven” to preach the gospel
Matthew 28:9 - Jesus lets Mary Magdalene and another Mary hold his feet
John 20:17 - Jesus forbids Mary to touch him because he hasn’t ascended to heaven yet, but a week later he lets Thomas touch him anyway

Nothing about FIRST mentioned there. They did not say that Jesus FIRST did this or that. He did many things. Jesus had not yet reported/ascended to the Father as at the time He met Mary Magdalene. Do you think He was hanging in space or in the house of the High Priest until the Ascension of Acts 1?

Doubting Jesus’ Resurrection
If Jesus rose from the dead, how did his disciples take the news?
Mark 16:11, Luke 24:11 - Everyone doubts and is scared or both at first, but eventually they go along with it
Matthew 28:16 - Some doubt, but most believe
John 20:24-28 - Everyone believes but Thomas, whose doubts are eliminated when he gets physical proof

Mat 28:17  And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Another wrong text quoted again, but i had to help you out. When they saw Him. WHEN they saw Him. If that does not explain anything to you, no one can help you.

Jesus Ascends to Heaven
It wasn’t enough that Jesus rises from the dead; he also had to ascend to heaven. But where, when, and how did this happen?
Mark 16:14-19 - Jesus ascends while he and his disciples are seated at a table in or near Jerusalem
Matthew 28:16-20 - Jesus’ ascension isn’t mentioned at all, but Matthew ends at a mountain in Galilee
Luke 24:50-51- Jesus ascends outside, after dinner, and at Bethany and on the same day as the resurrection
John - Nothing about Jesus’ ascension is mentioned
Acts 1:9-12 - Jesus ascends at least 40 days after his resurrection, at Mt. Olivet.


Codetemplar, Sagenaija

Strictly Biblical!

Luke does not say "the same day". There is no way i can help you if you keep lying and trying to mislead.

kingxsamz:
No, @Righteousness and his folks does that, not me.
Besides, I talk about Jon snow all the time.

Your Father the devil is a liar but it is not by force for you to be like him. Anyone can access your posts on the forum. You do not talk about Jon snow all the time.

kingxsamz:
Wow, so you guys can have sex in Heaven?
I'm happy for you o.

There you go. Little wonder you have a big problem understanding the concept of God. You are struggling to understand a mere man, you are struggling at your courses in school. So i understand your position. Unfortunately, you refused to see your own position and problem.
i did not mention having sex in heaven. Go and read until you understand. You can get help of neighbours and family members or one of your school teachers.
i edited my post BTW.

kingxsamz:
Christians don't think this deep.
They just want to believe.
Awon follow follow... "My mummy and daddy are Christians, so I must be one".
Ask them if they have freewill in heaven to do stuff that they enjoy doing here on earth.
Deep down, they just want to remain here on earth forever, because they know heaven would be too boring. Praising and worshiping a god from morning till night for eternity like some programed robot. abeg.
Last one. Will they wear clothes they wear here on earth in heaven, or will they be on robes like the ancient folks for the rest of their lives?

Rather you are the one who does not seem to think at all. You are Samuel, born into a christian family as it were. Why are you not one? You say "My mummy and daddy are Christians, so I must be one".
Did you ever hear of the word "Conversion"? Did they ever teach you that to be a christian, you MUST be converted? Are you ignorant of the fact that the Bible teaches that you MUST be born AGAIN to be a christian?

What are the things that you enjoy doing on earth? As usual, you have a flawed and ignorant view of Heaven or paradise. The same God that gives humans joy and pleasure in whatever they do on it, the same God is the source of joy and pleasures forevermore are with Him. Have you ever seen someone who is so happy and lit up, unashamed and crying profusely in joy just by being in church speaking in tongues? Of course not, you lack exposure and knowledge.
i am aware your bereft mind thinks that the height of pleasure is contact with the similitude of a woman's body or masturbating to the idea. Did you for a minute think that if such tiny thing can give you so much orgasmic pleasure, it is not a big deal for God to produce pleasure? Think for once, and outside your small kindergarten box.

kingxsamz:
God does not exist.

But you talk about Him day and night it makes us that believe in Him jealous of this obsession.

Wow, an international worship Centre by the government? To worship who? Will true worship be more guaranteed than what is obtained in our small house? Will the seats of the worshippers be more secured in Heaven than it currently is?

Akwa Ibom has money and can afford to steal and dream big projects at the same time. They should go for better, not white elephant projects like this one. They can provide water to every home, they can turn the state to a small Dubai generating too much money and jobs for their citizens.

If you want to go to church on Sunday and your church is not open. Pls find a Christ embassy church to attend.

This is very low oga, too low.

Wow, Nigeria is a wonder always.

Thunder fire white Jesus

Shior. Your Jesus did not deliver you from your caustic tongue. Wondering what he's done for you besides a youtube channel.

MuttleyLaff:
When a person is a walking confused dot com, incongruity, is waiting to happen. "Simaios" sure is happening here indeed

Lol, coincidentally i came across this same simaios word in a Watchman Nee book today.

How can a scammer be used and dumped at the same time? Signs and wonders are happening here.

kingxsamz:
Just so you know, if a rapist who rapes children for fun gives his life to christ before dying, and the child he raped told a lie before the incident and died, the rapist would go to heaven, and the child would end up in hell.
That's how messed up Christianity is.

The beauty of forgiveness is that whosoever will may come. You see a glass half empty, i see a glass half full, purely perspective, nothing wrong with that glass. Tell your child to "give his life to Christ."

donnie:
That's a terrible lie manufactured by racists and propagated by black coons. If it was irrelevant, why did they change the image? Up until 1500s all images where black. Irrelevant indeed.

Because it was/is relevant to you and your fellow conspirators. Make sense please.

Image123: your cooking stove is irrelevant.

Donnie: that's a terrible lie. If it was irrelevant, why did I change the wick?

That's exactly how you sound, silly and cuckoo.

donnie:
O that book of many white Jesus lies.

You forgot to answer the question.

By the way, i didn't say the color of Jesus' skin, it is irrelevant. What He did and does for me is much more relevant. You're the racist, remember?

donnie:
The brainwashed coon and his white Jesus. How market? Una neva rapture yet?

Oh rapture, how many rhapsody have you sold in your life?

By the way, i didn't say the color of Jesus' skin, it is irrelevant. What He did and does for me is much more relevant. You're the racist, remember?

ednut1:
After marriage and child birth some women have no desire for sex again. Nawa

Yes it happens for different stress reasons. Financial stress, marriage stress, child bearing wounds, child raising stress. They should both work together. Body is not firewood in a sense.

Tunjingwu:
So I met my childhood friend yesterday at lekki.
He is still the elegant young man he has always been.

We spoke at length.
Nothing much has changed about him.
He is still very enthusiastic about life. An Engineer who after working with a firm is now on his own. Things are not very rosy but he can still hold his own.

We started talking about family since we all are married abielt for few years.

Here is the gist.....

He is contemplating having a girlfriend.
His wife hardly have sex with him.
Sometimes it takes 2 months for them to make love once. Nothing appears to be the problem other than the wife complaints of tiredness and not being in the mood for almost every time.
They have two kids(twins).

He had come to tell me to either approve or disapprove his strong intention of keeping a lady by the side since he can afford it comfortably.
I felt for him.

I disuaded him though I know how it feels to stay without sex with your wife under the same roof for months.

You pay all the bills yet you don't eat from the goody bag to your test.

Since yesterday, I have been a little worried for him. I do not know whether to call him and advise him to go ahead with his plan but try and be careful.

It's a dicey situation especially when the wife is not ready to change.

You and your friend see sex with the mentality of something you earned; you foot bills therefore sex. It is not too different from the fellow who spends on a girl, student or prostitute for sex. Same motive but yours is inside a marriage box.

Sex is great in marriage, and it should be a consummation and climax that cements the relationship, not a bargain or trophy.
Your friend should be a friend to the wife, consult with her intimately to make things work.

Do things that open her up. Like helping her, relieving her, buying little things, surprises, communicating and contributing. Patience could also be relevant especially if she does not enjoy coitus with you, don't be selfish. If your wife sees sex as a burden, it is your feedback to go and finish your homework literally.

Advice him to divorce his wife.. Marriage is not by force. I don't know why young men of nowadays dey fvck up anyhow.
Get married to someone else and enjoy your life...

Selfish

So because he stood against the failed PDP government, he must rubber-stamp anything the failing APC government is doing?

kingxsamz:
Simply because you can't handle facts?
Abeg run along.

Actually he's giving the cold facts. Running round nairaland cursing God like a headless chicken is not exactly fact.

The racist and his racist god. How are you doing

Carchoice:
I was at shoprite yesterday evening, I bought other stuffs and 10 packs of durex condom. At the point of payment, all the stuffs I shopped were on the counter and all eyes were on it. I could hear murmurs and giggles. Even a lady I perceived to be a baby mama sef join dey laugh.

As a careless Nigerian that I am, I went back to the condom shelve and added 5 more packs. E shock them.

Why the hypocrisy? For the background they are sharing HIV and donating pregnancy here and there.

You mix up shame with hypocrisy bro. People have shame more than each other. Not many will poo or pee or have sex or talk sex in public. Keeping it private is not hypocrisy. Western life makes you think so. They did it with unclothedness, drunkenness, smoking and even stealing. These things were not done with impunity 40years ago. Today, they are glamorised and televised.
