udatso: What is the seed of sin in us?

udatso: When we deviate from the commandments of God, we sin.

emmyskies: Hmmm, quite interesting.

You stated it yourself that many don't know what it takes to enter in through at the gate. For many are called but few are chosen. What would make the few to be chosen over the many?

kpakpandoN: Grace is a Person, and it's JESUS.

udatso: I don't know where you totally gave a different meaning to righteousness ooo. But English people wey get the language tell us say

righteousness - adhering to moral principles
impeccability - the quality of being exempt from
sin or incapable of sinning
rectitude , uprightness - righteousness as a
consequence of being honorable and honest
piety, piousness - righteousness by virtue of being
pious
morality - concern with the distinction between
good and evil or right and wrong; right or good
conduct
justice , justness - the quality of being just or fair
honorableness , honourableness - the quality of
deserving honor or respect; characterized by
honor
honor, honour - the quality of being honorable and
having a good name; "a man of honor"
honestness , honesty - the quality of being honest
unrighteousness - failure to adhere to moral
principles; "forgave us our sins and cleansed us
of all unrighteousness"
From this it's obvious when you sin, you are unrighteous but when you don't you are righteous. Of course we can't be 100% righteous but that doesn't stop us from trying to be. So my dear the as long as you sin, you can't claim to be righteous. So before righteousness, the talk of sin comes

emmyskies: How do you define 'struggle'? What is your definition of 'struggle'?

Keep these scriptures in mind:
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:29-30)

"Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. " (Luke 13:24)

emmyskies: Avoiding sin is what makes you righteous. If you don't know sin, how then can you know it is not a right thing to do?

Sin are what GOD hates and doesn't want us to do. Knowing sin and not doing them, rather doing what GOD wants is righteousness -doing what is right in the sight of GOD

shdemidemi: A simple question please

When God plagued Egypt by killing all the firstborn. The children of Israel were instructed to put the blood of a lamb on lintels and door- posts. My question is this, if pharaoh and his family were to be under the blood, could they have been saved saved?

shdemidemi: I am for almost all that was written except the for the part where the gift of grace was demeaned. Can we work our salvation by works?
Please try and understand grace in its fullness. I believe once you are saved you are saved forever.
If you think otherwise, please tell me why through the scriptures. Thank you

Lordwize: 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

emmyspark007: When one takes a look at what is happening to people
and countries around the world, one might want to ask
if God is partial.
Why is it that some babies die even before they are
born while others are born?
Why do some people live very long and some die at very
early age?
Why are some people very very rich while others are
very very poor?
Why are some people who are very prayerful not
succeeding in life while those that not even know God
are succeeding in all endeavours of live?
I wonder: is God partial?

justwise: That is what you should do, WAEC wouldn't issue you another result any soon.

shdemidemi: Have you been able to keep all of the laws thus far?

ojimbo: even at this issue?

dennis3888: Is there any reason why sin is regarded a sin. Cause our GOD is a loving and considerate GOD and he is not a dictator if he said somethings are sins then dere must be a reason. Peep what do u think

diamondpaul: A sin is a sin simply because we conceive to be a sin, it just depend's on how it is being interpreted in ur neighbouhood,before mary slessor stop the twin's killing's it wasn't barbaric..but to the eauropean's it was so bad.to think off.

shdemidemi: @Drummaboy

well said.

I think Paul differentiated the two ways of obtaining God's righgteousnes perfectly in Romans 10



It must be said that an average religious jew is more zealous about the work of God than an average gentile christian. Paul realises this as well, but they lacked the major requisite to God's kind of righteousness which is the right knowledge.

This also applies to most of Christendom today. They may have a zeal, they may never miss a Church service, they may be there every time the doors are opened, they may pray and fast more than anyone else but if they have no knowledge of the Scriptures. They are totally ignorant of the Scriptures.




Isn't it clear as day light that we have two kinds of righteousness- SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS by keeping the law AND GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS through faith in Christ.

Paul said the Israelites were ignorant, they were working so hard for a righteousness that comes freely by the knowledge of GRACE through Christ. Isn't that exactly where most people are today? They'll do this and that, and do whatever a denomination prescribes, and they do it according to rote, and ritual. And it's going to count for nothing, they might just as well stay home. And Israel was no different, they kept the feast days, they wouldn't miss a feast day for anything, and they followed the sacrifices, they followed the law to the letter but without the understanding that Christ is the anchor of our faith, its all exercise in futility.

Christ was that object of faith that Israel was expected to embrace. He came proving Who He was, and they should have known Who He was. He was the fulfillment of over 360 distinct prophecies out of the Old Testament. If they knew their Bible like they thought they did, they should have recognized Him the moment He began His ministry. But why didn't they? They didn't know their Bible.

SOLA GRACIA

There are two kind of righteousness, your right: self righteousness and God"s righteousness (selfless righteousness). But what you fail to understand is the word righteousness. Remove self or God from righteousness what you have is righteousness which does not exist without work.

Righteousness simply mean living right. Jesus said unless your righteousness exceed that of the pharisees (self) you will not see the kingdom of God. to exceed means you are in the right path but is short of expectation. God's righteousness is selfless righteousness.

What righteousness did the pharisees practices? the righteousness that promoted them and not God.

flourishG: whats da op talking about? da law that the fathers of israel could not keep? u must be a joker[b][/b]

ojimbo: i want to use this opportunity to ask pastors, bishops and christians in the room, even though jesus christ died on cross for free to save mankind, why is it then that nothing goes for free in the church again?
To receive a blessing, it can never work until you sow a seed
even when prosperity is declared on you, you need to run up to the alter to drop money before claming the declaration. Even at the burial ceremony of a christian, every reverend at attendance list must go with an envelop containing money. I once heard from a friend that some pastor will advice you to pay a certain amount of money to someone who will do a fasting and praying on your behalf incase you are not fit for the fasting. I here by ASK. What is really going on in the church of Nigeria?

Gombs: What Bible version is dat? Yours?

Gombs: Bobo, u suppose know say na typo, is there anything like verse 0? Oya quote your own and show me where God was physically in the Garden

Gombs: [KJV] Genesis 3:0 And they heard the [size=20pt]voice[/size] of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

That was Jesu Christi bro!

Gombs: The Holy Spirit formed man actually, thanks for your time sir

Gombs: Explain John 10:10 please, what life was Jesus speaking about if we already have God’s life already?

Gombs: Really? Why then do we need to get born again if we already came with it? Why then was John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 still very relevant today?
