Seun: Obama is not a Christian fundamentalist or Evangelical, but he's as Christian as most people who call themselves Christians in the world.
Obama a Christian? i don't think so. Do you know the meaning of a CHRISTIAN? It means a Believer in Jesus CHRIST. i dont think his action corresponds with his belief.
Nigerian Christians are deluded... lol. They have twisted the GOSPEL by presenting God as a monster or a wicked being... No wonder unbelievers dont want anything to do with their own version of Christianity dat is full of man-made doctrines and rules & regulations.
You people are mocking God and mocking the Finished Work of our Lord & Saviour Jesus CHRIST. If all the OP said is true, then that means that CHRIST died in vain and the POWER of the Cross made of no effect!!!! A Believer is imputed with the righteousness of GOD in CHRIST. Self Righteousness is filthy before God. anyways let me not sound like a broken record lol. That's why you sanctimonious Nigerian Christians are living a hard life. Life of hypocrites, pretending to be holy Meanwhile commiting atrocities inside the church. I pity you people, you guys are the modern day Pharisees and your reward is waiting for you guys.
Anyways, since the rules for making Heaven is perfection by your own WORKS and not perfection by Christ's Finished WORK, then no Believer and including the OP will make it. That means billions of Christians allover the world will end up in the lake of fire!!! lol foolish people.. .
emmyskies: ^^^^you think say to make heaven na child's play?? It requires perfection. It is so difficult to make heaven that the disciples of JESUS Christ asked Him same question you're asking the op: who then can be saved? (Matthew 19:25) Having this at the back of your mind, here is what JESUS CHRIST wants you to do: "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) GOD bless you op. The way to everlasting life is very narrow, only few findeth it
Oh really!! Dat means no man will make Heaven cos its only Jesus dat is perfect. So no need wasting your time being a Christian brother cos you will definitely end up in Hell. Cos Satan will still accuse you with one sin, don't you think? lol. ..
@OP, nawa oo. With all the things u mentioned above, dat means no Christian will make heaven oo.... even you, don't you think?
Cos with the way u people narrate the account of those who have gone and come back, dat means no soul will make Heaven. The do's and dont's are too many.... So, did Jesus die in vain then? Since almost the whole Christian Believers will go to Hell Fire including you.
Heaven might be scanty on the last day, cos no Christian even you, is going to make it. Everyone has one sin or the other troubling him, dont you think? So, if Heaven is dis hard to make, why bother yourself trying to go there when you will still end up in Hell Fire as a Christian Believer?
SomebodyLovesMe: There are hundreds, if not thousands, of religions in the world. I have however noticed that atheists pick on one particular religion. They are so bothered about it that they dedicate time to researching and writing articles about it. They get both passionate and emotional, even aggressive and defensive, where Christian matters are concerned. If I was convinced that something didn't exist, I would be indifferent to it. My question is - if they are truly convinced that there is no God, what is it that worries them so much about Christianity, while they are indifferent to other religions?
My brother no mind dem, they are fake atheists. A real Atheist will be indifferent to Christianity as well as other religions since they they dont believe dat God exists. If i hear dat there are atheists in Naija!!!!!
But the atheists on Nairaland are just wannabe atheists Deep down they know dat God exists but they just want to show themselves here. If they are involved in an accident, the first word dat will come out of their mouth is JESUS!!!! All of them know dat Jesus is Lord. They are just doing gra-gra here.
Deep down in their hearts, they are bothered about where they will spend Eternity, if not why do you always see dem in the Religious section? There are other sections of Nairaland but no, they always flood Religious section!! Leave matter, i know all of dem, i ve analysed dem.
Real atheists are indifferent about Christianity but Nigerian atheists wanto belong!!!! In real life, they dare not mention dat they are Atheist. Why are they scared? The Lord Jesus will arrest them one day.
Most Christians have difficulty in understanding the Bible today cos they read it out of Context. The Bible is designed in such a way that if you read it as literature, it might not make much sense to you and datz why u need the Holy Spirit to guide you.
The Bible is written to 3 groups of people, namely:
1) The Jews
2) The Gentiles
3) The Church
But the problem today is dat modern day Christians mash up the whole Bible passages. There might be some places God is addressing the Jews only or the Gentiles and not the Church, but the Church will rope themselves in that situation and datz where controversies arise.
In the above video by Pastor Joseph Prince, see as he divides the word of God by the leading of the Holy Spirit and know that some passages in the Bible are not talking to you.
So my people, CHRIST has atoned for everything, the Cross changed so many things and He said it is FINISHED!!!! God wants us to have a THRONE Attitude... I.e REST until God make your enemies your footstool. Good morning.

Zillionglobal: HaHAHAHa................. Th bible warned us that in the last days, many will heap unto themselves teacher with itching ear, who will tell them what they want to hear, ........1. Joseph smith can interprete the bible the way he likes but he can't change the word of God, he is telling people what they want to hear, giving them false hope with strange doctrine, let's examine what the bible said abt it. .... Jesus warned his followers in mathew 24, that only those who endure to the end will be saved, paul warned that we are not of them that draw back, my brother in as much as you like joseph smith teaching, just know that 2 timothy 2v 19 can't be change.
It is well my brother... keep to your believe. As for me, i totally believe in Grace and the Finished work of CHRIST.
starlingslimnet: Having followed all things closely for a while I find it absolutely impossible to keep quiet on some things concerning the Scripture which though inappropriate are appropriately taught as Truth in the churches by the so called leaders of the church or better known as "Keys of Christaindom".Though i must say this writing is an extract of the book(Explaining The Scriptures) I envisage to write and get published any time soon as God gives the Grace.And since the reason behind my writings is enlightening the world I find it good, then, to put this up here for all that cares to read them.So, listed below are unbiblical and unscriptural teachings you find in the Churches. 1. Earth Is 6000 Years Old: Believed by many to be Truth but as the Spirit says,this,is nothing but a lie.In nowhere do the Spirit of God ever says the earth is 6000 years old.Words is from the days of creation to this time is merely 6000 years and that there is no creation before Gen 1:2 but if this were so how then did the mountain came into existence since there is no account of God creating mountains in Gen 1? Or the mountains made themselves? And we should not forget the mountain is part of earth creation. It's simple the earth is ageless in other words it was made in the beginning; the ageless past.So the theory of earth being 6000 years old is an insult and utter degradation to the word of God. 2. There Were No Rains Before Noah: I have heard Adventist and other churches teach in their hall that there were no rains until the time of Noah. Well I will like to pretend they say that out of ignorance or stupidity because then in the time of Noah there were clouds in the sky and by the law of nature evaporation and condensation must take place just as it is now.There were mist then so are mist now and if there is rain now there must be rain then. 3.Noah Preached To The World: Sounds sweet when viewed from the Gospel perspective but that, doesn't makes it true. God in nowhere command Noah to preach to the world and even when Christ made reference to Noah He said nothing relating to preaching. The Bible said, "And Noah did all God commanded him" and all God commanded him was recorded right in Genesis.Polishing a lie doesn't makes it True. 4. Tribulation Takes Place After Translocation: By Translocation I mean what people referred to as "Rapture." Christ said and I quote "After the tribulation of those days the Son of man will come" The idea of Christ coming after the Translocation is somehow contradicting Christ himself. 5. Antichrist And The Beast Come After The Translocation: As it is known the Antichrist and the Beast will put in place the Tribulation and the Tribulation comes before the Translocation as taught by Christ meaning: The Antichrist will come before Christ comes.Bible never teaches Antichrist after the Translocation. 6. Satan Will Punish People In Hell: Somehow funny to me.Like it's incomprehensible. The Bible clearly says satan will be thrown into the lake of fire to be tormented days and night.Question here is "How can Satan torment others when he is being tormented?" Cc: Lalasticlala
My brother, i think number 4 is correct. Tribulation takes place after the Rapture. What Jesus was referring to in dat Scripture is his Second Coming not the Rapture. The Rapture is CHRIST appearing in the clouds to take his Saints ( the Church ), while the Second Coming is CHRIST coming back to the earth with His Saints to rescue Israel.
You have to also consider God's motive for the Tribulation. It is the time God set aside to deal with Israel and the unbelievers for disobedience. The Church shall not partake of it cos the Tribulation comes at the end of the Church age ( which is Rapture ).
Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
People have said to me, “Pastor Prince, I was taught that only my past sins—from the day I was born until the day I became a Christian—have been forgiven, and that my future sins are not forgiven until I confess them and seek forgiveness.”
My friend, when Jesus died on the cross, how many of your sins were future? Unless you are more than 2,000 years old, all your sins were future then! Jesus took them all upon Himself, nailed them to the cross and declared, “It is finished!” So if you are not forgiven of all, then you are not forgiven at all.
“You mean Jesus also died for the sin that I have just committed?”
Yes!
“And also for the sins which I will commit?”
Yes! That is why He said, “It is finished!”
But many of us are inconsistent in our believing. One part of us says, “God has forgiven me of all my sins.” But another part says, “Yes, but I must still confess my sins to be forgiven of them.” Are you like that?
Beloved, you are forgiven not because of your work of confession. Your confession cannot wash away your sins. You are forgiven because of the blood of Jesus shed for you. His blood alone cleanses you.
You cannot believe that you are forgiven of your past, present and future sins, and still think that there is something for you to do to make that forgiveness complete. If you do, then it becomes your work too, not Jesus’ alone.
Is there a place for confession of sins? My friend, if you have just sinned, you can always tell God about it without feeling condemned because you know that you already have forgiveness and that Jesus was condemned in your place. But you don’t confess your sins to God in order to be forgiven. You already have total and complete forgiveness because of the blood of Jesus!
Thought For The Day
You are forgiven because of the blood of Jesus shed for you. It is His blood alone that cleanses you.
sonmvayina: You still in slumber.....you just don't want to let go of this invention called jesus.after all the litany of facts presented here..or your just wishing it is true..No amount of wishing can make the story true.the greatest deception man has ever thought off.
My brother plz receive CHRIST into your life. He loves u. You an Atheist?
