Did god approve of the killing, yes or no..... Implying that God could not stop the tragedy from happening is saying god is not omnipotent

implying how? What if God approved of the killing or not, that's the point. His approval or disapproval doesn't change anything. He's still God, you're still a random fellow going to hell fire, I'm still in love with Jesus.

There is no single person in the whole of APC that can match Reno with wits on social media.
He has all the facts to back up any argument.
He is the master of the game, the big dog of the social media yard

He's not made much sense but playing to the gallery as usual. GEJ himself called Boko Haram his siblings on video evidence. The drab line that efcc didn't talk then shows how ineffectual the previous govt was, and the change in place,albeit minimal.

Frenzy007:
but u are obliged as a christian to convince the non believers and preach the gospel.smh

Nope, I'm not. Repent and believe the gospel.

EvangelistNdudi:
you call that useless and expired? and you are a Christian?

Your question has been answered. When will you become a christian?

Frenzy007:
y dont u answer the question.Christians smh

i did, you don't like my answer. I'm not obligated to make you happy.

randomperson:
You should.... Closing your eyes to apparent wicked acts of your god is what enables terrorists to bomb a church without feeling bad about it

Elisha is not God, terrorists are sinners just like you. You are both children of the same father, slaves to sin, and inching closer to the same destiny except you repent.

NPComplete:
I like how u are indirectly saying what Elisha did to those children isn't worthy of emulation. That's as close as we will probably get to a honest Christian on this thread. More honest and logical than Enshy's condescending "he's authority" answer.

i didn't say that, you probably want to hear that. i said follow Jesus Christ. Telling you Elisha did fine or not is useless. You can't copy him, and even if you did, no reward.

randomperson:
But god who is Jesus appointed Elisha, so he must have supported or endorsed that action. Right?

Who cares, I don't. You the busybody shouldn't either. You should be more concerned about following Jesus Christ. What do you benefit if i told you that the action was right or wrong? You want to emulate Elisha, start with healing a leper or something.

frank317:
And that's the bone of contention here. You guys(Reinhard Bonnke inclusive) want us to worship a God who behaves like inanimate soap rather than act like an almighty, all knowing, all loving creator he claim to be

Oh, you know how God should behave how? Ever seen one?

EvangelistNdudi:
Since the day i got to know that some books were deliberately removed from Bible (the reason for that is best known to them that did that)
I have putting it upon myself to search for those books, read it and try to know the reason of them been remove
but i was so disappointed because nothing was wrong with those once i have read

The question i would have love to ask the 'authority' that remove a book like "Wisdom Of Solomon" from the Bible is:
how will Christians understand the level of Solomon's wisdom if a book like this is not in the Bible?

You can read bellow a chapter from Wisdom Of Solomon and find out if this book worth to be in Bible or not

WISDOM OF SOLOMON chapter 3 (1 to end)

"1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

3 And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.

4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

6 As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

7 And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

8 They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

9 They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

10 But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.

11 For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable;

12 Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:

13 Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.

14 And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

15 For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.

16 As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.

17 For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

18 Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.

19 For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation."


Brethren, I believe this is the time for we Christians to start making research on some certain things to really know where we are heading to

Thank you and God bless you.

That's the exact proof that it's not part of the bible. God said that His words cannot pass away. Stop looking for useless and expired something.

bingbagbo:
2 Kings 2:23-24

Elisha Is Jeered
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.


Did the prophet sin

This is over flogged. The point though is that Jesus should be the author and finisher of your faith. Of all the 1001 things Elisha did, you are yet to reproduce or copy one, so i wonder if you want to copy this one or what. Follow Jesus, you will not miss it that way.

Every human being was shapen in iniquity. That's like kindergarten bible teaching. i wonder the rubbish point being made here. Jesus said in the world, His disciples will have tribulation, and many are the afflictions of the righteous. It has nothing to do with foundation. Is Sule more prophet than David? Abeg, talk sense jor.

Otobo too is a gospel singer? God, please give me your patience.

People can be delusional. How can anyone claim that God sent this criminal? Which god again?

i don't know if Quest is gay, but he certainly doesn't go about doing interviews or talking on social media about being gay or right. People know Quest and accept him for something else, not for being gay. Alimi is off the point as expected.

Fayose na mouth, he disappeared in the heat of the moment.

i thought he was in a popular church with Benny Hinn yesterday? Didn't they tell him all about forgiveness and repentance and being truthful and leaving vengeance to God.

petra1:
Don't your pastor anoint people ?

The question is quite direct, why is pastor Adeboye anointing apostle Johnson?

petra1:
The woman own was a perfumed oil just for natural odour. When a man of God lays hand it's spiritual either they use oil to anoint or ordinary hand

So anointing for what? Is he empowering him? From what, to do what, or be what?

bigCassava:
Not until now many people never knew that apostle Johnson Suleiman's spiritual father was daddy E.A adeboye. The auchi based prophet was seen at the RCCG holy ghost congress. picture of daddy E.A adeboye anointing and blessing apostle Johnson Suleiman at the holy ghost service. Though, the apostle have just been restricted from coming to Canada because of a suit filed against him by Stephanie utobo. Utobo claims to have been sexually abused by the apostle.

Anointing for what? A woman once anointed Jesus as it were, but she wasn't His spiritual mother.

i don't know him but in less than ten minutes, he already says angel told him in heaven that he got there because he gave money to a blind man. He also says Adam fell because he was a man, that Jesus didn't sin because He was born from baby to man. That's already a lot of rubbish for one person.

veekid:
So? Make we fry sand?

information like these don't catch wise people unawares. When in years time, government start demolishing mile 12, they won't play victim or tell tales that touch the heart.

Horus:
If your jesus died on the cross for the world to be saved, why is there still sin today? Was not the personified Son of God enough to cleanse the whole world of sin?

He died primarily to cleanse sins, to be an atonement, a kind of soap for sins. To wash away sins as it were. Washing or use of soap does not compulsorily mean that there will be no more dirt.

Why did he have to send his beloved son to die for the sins of the world?. Couldn't he just come himself, or wave his hand and make it all well.

Because He volunteered to go/come remember? You probably do not understand or realise the seriousness of sin,that is why you think it can go by waving hands. Justice demands that sin be punished, the Saviour simply came to take the place of the sinner. Animal sacrifices were not sufficient.

He said his spirit was willing but his flesh was weak, and what did God do? His only begotten son, according to your belief, he let him die by Cruci-Fction. So that's how God showed his love?.

He said the truth. Even today, our human flesh is often weak to do the demands of God, but we do not walk after the flesh but after the Spirit. It's like saying that i feel sleepy at work, but i discipline myself as it were. If Jesus did not die, there would be no hope. Thank You Jesus for your great Love.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. And we are supposed to teach our children this and perpetuate the greatest "story" (lie) ever told? NOT!

That's correct. Only an ignorant man still doubts the crucifixion of Jesus, scholars have long seen this. Read up.

KingEbukasBlog:
This atheist is back after he left this section about 2 years ago. And still profusely spewing garbage as he did then .

The heart usually would continue to search for God until it finds Him, or is preoccupied with some other thing.

Good questions, it's another thing if you want answers. I'd be back though.

Her sexualization has started, very unfortunate. Hope TY Bello would rescue her, she doesn't need to be naked to sell.

marklele:
Please help me friends.
where was Joseph Carpenter the earthly father of Jesus all through the agony and death of Jesus and how did he die?

The Bible says nothing about it and it's best to be silent where the Bible is. However, it's most likely that he was dead by then. Jesus committed His mother to John to take care of, that's one reason i suppose so. SUPPOSE is bold, underlined and emphatic.

TheVictorious:
Why do you guys read negative meanings into the word? when did he say these??

Read "My righteousness has nothing to do with my obedience."

boboenny:
But just as our position as sinners is not based on what we do, but what the first Adam did, in the same way, we are forever righteous today not because of what we do, but because of what Christ, the last Adam, did on the cross.


bomb

Nobody is forever righteous in disobedience to God, don't be deceived by itching ears.

jiggaz:
2 Corinthians 10:5
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Have you ever felt condemned because of the bad thoughts you have had? You could be in the middle of a prayer meeting when suddenly a dirty thought enters your mind. Actually, it is the devil who puts such thoughts in your mind. Then, he steps back, looks at you and knocks you on your head, saying, “How can you call yourself a Christian and still think such thoughts?”

I used to be in bondage over the bad thoughts I had because I felt that I had to confess every one of them and seek God’s forgiveness. But that is not what God’s Word exhorts us to do. You see, God wants us to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”. Now, whose obedience are we to focus on? Christ’s obedience and not our own obedience!

But what is “the obedience of Christ”? It is His obedience at the cross, where “by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous”. (Romans 5:19) Jesus shed His blood for us at the cross. This means that when our thoughts condemn us, we are to focus our thoughts on Jesus’ obedience at the cross.

My friend, the devil can only make inroads into our minds when he gets us to focus on our obedience instead of
Christ’s obedience. His strategy is to point us to our obedience or the lack of it to determine our standing before God. But just as our position as sinners is not based on what we do, but what the first Adam did, in the same way, we are forever righteous today not because of what we do, but because of what Christ, the last Adam, did on the cross.

So the next time your thoughts seem to condemn you, say, “I am righteous whether I have good or bad thoughts. My righteousness has nothing to do with my obedience. Jesus’ obedience at the cross made me righteous.” Then, go ahead and pray, knowing that you have access to God and His favor, and that He hears the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)

Thought For The Day

The devil’s strategy is to point us to our obedience or the lack of it to determine our standing before God.

This is a load of nonsense. Who says your obedience to God is not important? The devil.
