InesQor:
Really?

Please support this with a Bible verse.

InesQor long time, kedu? are you serious or kidding? You sef go proof biblically if i start o.

Christianity is not about opinion polls and mathematics.

Maybe 100m senior boys?

Yeah welcome. On wordtalk pilgrim.1, really donno what to say. I'm guessing wordtalk would want to keep that one close to chest?

Olaadegbu and viaro back in one piece? Chineke, is it christmas already?
Welcome guys, i v.missed you already.

i don't think there's any countRy in the world that's not being prayed for, and that doesn't need prayers. But prayers work with other factors. In this case, factors such as righteousness, sincerity, earnestness and hardwork. These are factors that are barely available in Nigeria. Still sha, pray on o.

I know that i ought to 'clock in' on this thread, at least to expose my condolences. ieya

Arsenal hopes to win their own trophy today, as they attempt to defeat Manchester United in the 'showDOWN'.

And this is a consequence of leaving a child uncared for. Parents, please take good care of your children. They are tomorrow's leaders.

Prayer is very much UNDER-RATED. The big problem is that some many prayers are 'UNHEARD'. Some many others are answered in the NO mode.

Jo and his outrageous claims, anyways na CE marketing style be dat sha.

And the answer would make you happier? Happiness is to KNOW Jesus, stop looking up and down for what's found.

I pray that we know God more than we all presently do. Then we will be more careful how we comment on people putting their faith to work. Luke 1:37. To him that believes ALL things are possible  Mark 9:23. I have learnt that our God is a DYNAMIC God (There is no searching of His understanding Isa 40:28). You've got to be open-minded in order to get the very best of Him. He can chose to do completely different from what you are used to - ALL TO HIS GLORY. There is no limit to what He can, and will do, whether written or unwritten. That is why HE IS THE CALLED THE SOVEREIGN GOD. If Jacob name could be changed, Dry bones could live again, the red sea could part, then _____,  Check out what God said to Sarah in Gen 18:14, Remember how God refused to destroy the people of Nineve contrary to the prediction and expectation of His servant - Jonah according to God's earlier instructions. All I'm saying is WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. THAT'S WHY HE IS GOD.

@JeSoul
i don't have all the answers, i'm not sure anyone does. As much as i feel for others and wish we all are in God's 'good books' and i sympathize with all who don't get to hear the gospel like i've done a thousand times, i'm not sure its going to end like my wish. Why? i'm lookING for that wish in the Bible and i'm not found it. Do i base their fate on the PROBABILITY that Cornelius was accepted before Peter saw him? Well, i wish them all the best on judgement day, i'm not the judge and what i feel or opine is not too important in this.

Ah so this is where kunle's fellows are flocking with him. i'd almost forgotten that i posted here sha.

Go and learn the meaning of words before using them kunle. Thought someone said sometimes that you worked in a tertiary institution.

^
So to you, Jesus Christ was neither killed nor crucified too? All that matters is to score a point against 'christ embassy' and anyone who believes in giving tithes. Grow up, you're not getting younger kunle.

So this kunle guy is still NEVER learning?

How about faith that God would forgive the devil and forget all these hell fire stuff, since everything is possible if he believes. When would people learn that some things have already been written for our learning?

Yes, God loves those who do not believe. Nobody believed from birth. It was love that made God to send Jesus to us even while We WERE yet sinners. This is the unconditional love spoken of. Unconditional as in without condition, without reason, undeserving. I was a sinner, useless to God and courting His anger/wrath. But He paid for my sins, forgave me, not because of anything i did or could do, but because i responded to His love in faith. That love is the unconditional.

I'm confused. Are you asking for a verse that says "and God accepted the works of Cornelius"?   That he was talked about in positively glowing terms as 1God-fearing, 2Loving towards his fellow man, 3Gifts went up as an offering before God (doesn't that mean God accepted them/him?) etc etc those ones no do you?

Yes my sista, i'm asking for the verse that says God accepted Cornelius' works as it seems that was the general agreement on page 6 of this thread. i don't know much about those glowing terms o, but i don't think they say that God accepted him/them. Compare,
2Kings 17:41  So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
Mat 19:19  Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Mat 19:20  The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Plus the people that gave alms at the beautiful gate and the hypocrites that Jesus said that they gave alms. Can we conclude that these people(or their works) were acceptable to God? i'm not sure, but what i'm sure of is that righteousness, God's own righteousness in Christ is acceptable before God, and i can show verses that say.

Rom 14:17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Rom 14:18  For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Rom 15:16  That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

Eph 5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth
Eph 5:10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
1Pe 2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

That's the little i know o, and we know that righteousness is Jesus.
Galatians 2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

@zodiac
Of course you didn't mention 'disciples', but you may want to know that the disciples of Jesus were His listeners. You can't be a disciple without hearing/listening to and believing in Jesus, and if you read the accounts you thought that you quoted, you'll notice Jesus speaking to His disciples. Anyway, Stop making childish points.

Now secondly,

Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart,
Mat 17:2 And was [size=8pt][size=8pt][size=8pt]transfigured[/size][/size][/size] before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

Mar 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mar 9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was [size=8pt]transfigured[/size] before them.
Mar 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

Luk 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Luk 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
Luk 9:28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Luk 9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of [size=8pt]his countenance was altered[/size], and his raiment was white and glistering.
Luk 9:30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah:
Luk 9:31 Who appeared [size=8pt]in glory[/size], and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luk 9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, [size=8pt]they saw his glory[/size], and the two men that stood with him.

Try to read through the little projection above, seeing you don't enjoy small screen. If you'd notice, or at least others(more importantly believers) would notice, the talk about seeing the kingdom was fulfilled in six days. Jesus was TRANSFIGURED before some. They saw His glory. They had a taste of the kingdom, the glory that Peter so much talked about in his epistles when he referred to the second coming of Christ. The same which John affirmed to have seen when he was writing his gospel and which he saw more of in the Revelations and penned down. [s]Let's stop there lest we daze our atheist friends.[/s]

Mar 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Luk 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Another case of misunderstanding due to poor comprehension. The question Jesus was answering was about WHEN if you can see. To this, he clearly said NOBODY knows when. He however dropped hints of signs and events, inside which He said that this generation shall not pass away, till all these things be done/fulfilled.
In case you still didn't get that, He means that the generation that would experience all the things He talked about is the generation.

Martian:
In psychology, Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a real paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors; sometimes to the point of defending them.

Sorry then, i'm not talking psychology, i'm talking reality.

@Jenwit
The unconditional love is not for christians at all, but for the entire human race. Christians don't enjoy unconditional love, but covenant love.

Did Jesus say that He'd come back before His disciples die, or is it your comprehension that's poor?

Martian:
Unconditional love- Do what I want like a robot and if you don't I'll send you to a place of fiery torture for trillions of years. But I love you and also I need some money. Give the money to Chris, he'll forward it to me.

Big Daddy God a.k.a Mary's baby daddy.

Unconditional, as in there's no reason or condition why He should spare us or love us. Before Him, we're good for nothing and of no value but yet He sent His Son, and invested in our salvation. Unconditional as in undeserving love. Not unconditional as in do what you like.

I also hope he's just taking some time off o, na so them pilgrim, viaro do us. I've being meaning to ask about InesQor too. Abeg if you guys change username, make una dey inform house na.

^
you're bo ignorant child, you don't disappoint yet.Go and read more Bible ehn?

These atheists and their jokes. You guys should function more often in the joke section of nairaland. Even Jesus believes the Adam and Eve account. By the way, not many christians care if Mo divided the moon or joined the stars, it's pointless.

I miss my bro OLAADEGBU sha.

Actually its no 'bubble burst'. Jesus already told us i.e believers, that in the world we would have tribulations, and sufficient to the day is the evil, and that we are the most miserable of all people but for our heavenly hope. What we have is above this world, greater than. This world is just qualifier and friendlies. The next world is the 'world cup/league of champions.' Heaven is the HOST. You don't want to be majoring/gloating on earth minors if you're smart.
