Useless country

If we don't celebrate rogues in political office we celebrate thieves, kidnappers, militants, or money rituals.

We have graduates in professional fields roaming round streets with great knowledge to improve this shithole country, but are not recognized or assisted.
Yet we celebrate fools with nothing but vices in this country

Carefully looked at these pictures.

Went back to the Nairaland party pictures,and carefully looked at all the girls at the party,and sadly,none is as elegant or as beautiful as this mother here.

Ade. Your mother is a very beautiful woman,and please tell her to give those party girls some tip on how to look elegant,instead of looking like those POINT and KILL girls at Moremi Hall Unilag.

I'm sorry that the questions weren't clear to you... this is what I mean ... since this Bible says that all of us sinned in Adam , and also shows that all are sinners in the sight of God.....

then the question is how are you now justified and declared forgiven from your sins by God....

or are all still sinners and are not yet forgiven?
how do we get forgiven by God from our sins?

Ferisidowu:
is that how you have peace with God!

Ferisidowu:

forget about being mad in the spirit ( I don't think you learnt that from the Bible )

HOW ARE YOU FORGIVEN .... WITH scriptural references

IF YOU have been disillusioned with organized religion or have dismissed it as irrelevant, you are not alone. In fact, the number of people who are choosing not to be affiliated with organized religions is mushrooming.

Some have abandoned organized religions because they believe that such institutions breed hypocrisy and intolerance. Others find it too complicated to follow a structured form of worship. Still others feel that organized religion is nothing but a superfluous “middleman” between God and his worshippers. What does the Bible really teach about organized religion?

God’s Friends in Ancient Times

The Bible provides a clear description of the form of worship practiced by ancient patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For instance, on one occasion God said: “I have become acquainted with [Abraham] in order that he may command his sons and his household after him so that they shall keep Jehovah’s way to do righteousness and judgment.” (Genesis 18:19) Abraham was a friend of God and thus had a personal relationship with the Creator as an individual. But he also worshipped in the company of his household. Likewise, other patriarchs who were friends of God engaged in worship as a community, usually with immediate and extended family members as well as their servants.

In time, God required the ancient Israelites, and later the first-century Christians, to congregate for worship. (Leviticus 23:2, 4; Hebrews 10:24, 25) Those occasions for organized worship included singing, readings from the Scriptures, and public prayer. (Nehemiah 8:1-8; Colossians 3:16) The Scriptures also prescribed that a qualified body of men lead the congregation in worship.—1 Timothy 3:1-10.

The Benefits of Worshipping as a Congregation

Based on these Scriptural patterns, it is reasonable to conclude that today, too, God would expect his friends to worship him in an organized fashion. And there are benefits from worshipping God as part of a congregation.

For instance, the Scriptures liken the genuine worshipper to one who is traveling over a cramped road; and in another instance, to a runner in a race. (Matthew 7:14; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27) When running a long, hard race over difficult terrain, a runner may easily tire out and eventually give out. However, a runner can often push himself beyond his personal threshold if he has encouragement from others. Likewise, a spiritually-minded person can successfully maintain his relationship with God despite adversities if he has encouragement from other worshippers.

This explains the words at Hebrews 10:24, 25, where the Bible says: “Let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together.” In fact, the Scriptures state that true worshippers would render worship as brothers and sisters, united as a figurative body.

Three organized groups of people reach out to a single person
Should you dismiss all organized religion?
The Bible describes that body, or congregation, as being united by a bond of love and peace. For instance, Ephesians 4:2, 3 admonishes true worshippers to act “with complete lowliness of mind and mildness, with long-suffering, putting up with one another in love, earnestly endeavoring to observe the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace.” How could you comply with this admonition if your worship were independent and detached from other worshippers?

It is God’s will that instead of being a loose association of spiritually-minded individuals, true worshippers merge into a tight community of faith. The Bible exhorts worshippers to speak in agreement, to avoid divisions, and to be “fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought.” (1 Corinthians 1:10) Those words would make little sense if God wanted people to worship him only as individuals apart from one another.

Clearly, evidence from the Bible points to an organized form of worship as the kind that is acceptable to God. And the organized religion that the Scriptures describe, the one that God sponsors, can give you the support you require to be successful in satisfying your spiritual needs.—Matthew 5:3.

Granted, many organized religions today are guilty of hypocrisy and countless atrocities. Yet, this does not mean that you should repudiate all organized religion. There must be a religion on earth that is organized to show love to all people—a religion that is organized to educate others about God’s moral principles. Such an organized religion can help you to build genuine faith. The Bible provides the necessary clues that can help you to identify the kind of organized worship that is acceptable to God.

I said show me where Jesus said we should not tithe again. btw tithing started before the law.

Did the tithe originate with Moses? No, Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils of his victory to Melchisedec , and Jacob promised God a tenth for His blessings, and these men lived 300-400 years before Moses and the Law.

In Genesis 14:20, Abraham gave the priest Melchizedek a tenth of all his goods after a daringrescue of his nephew Lot.

SageTravels:
Show me. That what i said. where the Bible said don't tithe

SageTravels:
what makes it not Biblical. can you show me where God said we should not tithe

Bros, we know u have never read this part of bible before
Try to hide your desperation.
Too much curving

felixomor:
Psalms 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 7:15 [/b]And it is yet far more evident: for that [b]after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

And yes, tithe is not compulsory.
What is compulsory is giving your life to Christ
And if really you have the love for Christ, 10% for his work wont be a debate for you.

felixomor:
Nobody forced tithe payment.
Tithe is not guarantee for heaven.
Nobody teaches that.
Get that first.

Second. Jesus priest hood is the same as Melchizedek priesthood. Not "higher than"

Its written right there in the same hebrew u quoted.
But as usual, your eyes wont reach there.
We know why

felixomor:
The bolded statement your own addition to scripture.

Besides Jesus priesthood is Same as Melchizedek.....

But somehow you went back to Levi priesthood
And u are still trying to sandwich it with Abraham - Melchizedek priesthood which is same as Jesus priest hood.

Anwway, as I said.
Your mind is made up.

felixomor:
Genesis 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

I guess your brain will rest now.

felixomor:
A real Christian desiring to follow Gods word will even go as far as google to search it out.

I wont quote it brah. There is no need.
You know how to get there.
