Every hurt is removed from your way.

I may not agree with this statement.

If God says he will rebuke the devourer ,it has to do with waste and losses. That means wisdom and discretion will work in your life. But if you say "Every hurt" I think it may be misunderstood .

Some Jews definitely believed . But when we say "the Jews" didn't believe or "the Jews" rejected christ ,it has to do with the nation and not individuals. The salvation of isarael has to be a national thing. When that time comes, they will embrace Jesus as a nation and not as individuals.

This thread is for a purpose , only christian inspirational contributions are welcomed . I will appreciate if you delete your posts which don't contribute to this thread.

It's for a witness against them. To let it be on record that they had a dedicated opportunity from God which they turned down. So that God can be just when judgment comes.

Help moderators,
Pls I have a thread on reality evangelism to inspire Christians on  gospel preaching. But PAGA9JA and OGAGA4Luv have been trying to mess it up with funny posts. I will appreciate your intervention if possible for their posts which are not relevant to the purpose of the thread be deleted.

Did you watch the drama? Prophets are not ordained to prevent, they can predict, and warn , it's left for hearers to ask for way out. Did Joseph prevent the dearth in Egypt , did agabus prevent the dearth in his day? . The way to prevent evil is repentance of the people towards God.

It doesn't make sense. If a cult adopt a geometrical figure why should we abandon it ? . The earth is the lords. Some cults other geometrical figures like circle. Will we abandon circle because of them? That's crazy. Why should we give them such recognition. So if a cult group adopts purple color ,we should abandon it as well abi? Stop insinuating a lie. You're being suggestive in an ungodly way and it's a sin.

The world hates this doctrine, as it hates that of Justification By Faith,
Without Works.

But that's the truth. We are justified by faith without works.

Galatians 2:16
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.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Jesus primarily came for the Jews. To restor them. The message has to get to the Jews first.

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek

Jerusalem is headquarter and base for salvation.  So Jesus focused on the Jews first, But after his death he reconciled other nations to salvation.

Galatians 3:28
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Everyone can preach the gospel,if you don't preach, your armor is not complete

Why do you hate the church of christ this much. People don't pay for deliverance .

Jesus only used Jerusalem as base. Salvation started with the Jews but it didn't end with them. Listen to Jesus in his own words.

John 10:16
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Acts 1:8
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

He himself ministered to the Samaritans. Peter brought salvation to Cornelius household ,thru were Gentiles. Apostle paul was specially commissioned to come to us non Jews.

Romans 11:13-14
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

Have you done this?

Nothing happens by chance. In every generation God always reveal future events through his servants and prophets.

We have many prophets in Nigeria. The only difference is the fact that Israel was a nation under God. Ruled by the word of God. But nigeria has several religion . Only those who listen to the prophets prosper

frosbel:
It is great, recommended and a wonderful experience. For one, many of them come with audio, devotionals, commentaries, strong's etc , all on the go and easily accessible,.

I have both the Quran and Bible on my Phones, for different purposes.

I just downloaded quoran from ITunes now.

It's based on bible principles. God would not invest into someone who would not hear.

Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

A man who had made his own heart turn against the truth has no value for truth. For such, after much warnings, God allows them to hear what they want to hear. They have turned their ear against truth.

Romans 1:28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

A good example is balaam . After God had told him not to go, he still insisted , and finally God told him to go.

LagosShia:
thank you sir for your kind explanation.i just need you to further answer my question:

so how do you explain the other verses that God deceives his own prophets and God deliberately preventing people from believing so that they would not be healed?

God does not deceive his prophets. Can you quote such passages ?

I agree with you.But everybody dint recognize the communion . But Xmas put the name and remembrance of jesus as a stamp from generation to generation.

Do you want Xmas cancelled? I believe the devil is mad enough at it and would want it to be a forgotten story.

Urbert angel is a minister of Jesus christ.

@Mabel

This thread of yours don hit home page o. Nice.

It's still a thing of Honour to Celebrate it. It's a global official Recognition of he king. If it's done away with . The world may forget. That's what Satan wants, Let the name of Jesus be proclaimed in every nation.

There are different temptations.

The temptation of Abraham simply means a test. Nothing evil . But the temptation James talks about has to do ith problems. They are not the same

There is no vacant position . Satan / lucifer had two offices, he was covering cherub in heaven and he was the ruler of the earth. God created Adam and gave him dominion on earth. There is no indication of vacancy in heaven, Jesus is the Daystar .

This is unfair! . In which Gods name is this evil done?

There are several things we do that may not be commanded in scriptures. Even though the principles maybe there but they are not bad in themselves.

Sweetnecta:
To all the christians, converts or not, please invite me to your religion wit facts and logic. Let me ask questions as you go forward with your effort. Please be orderly and no off topic posts.

I love your approach and the way this discussion is being done in a civic manner. That's what I'm talking about. No insult ,no abuses, Let truth prevail .

From observation, many christian are so Engross with preparation for christmass day that they don't e en remember it falls on a Sunday.

Is today Xmas or a Sunday? . If you get carried away with the "spirit" of Xmas in cooking and fun, and you don't go to church today, Xmas has become idol to you. It has taken the place of God and fellowship.

Don't let the season take you out of your consistency.

Hebrews 10:25
25 Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

Go to church this morning so that you will not be . .

2 Timothy 3:4
. . . lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

First, nothing means anything if you don't have a DESIRE to see people saved. Jesus commanded His disciples in Matthew 28:19 to “GO” into all the world preaching the Gospel. Every Christian is commissioned by the Lord to “GO.” Most churches never get beyond the word “GO.” All the Bible knowledge and eloquent speaking ability in the world means nothing if a person does not “GO.” This means taking the Gospel, using our feet as Romans 10:15 says, to preach the Gospel.

Soul winning is Gods no 1 business

Frankly, [b]most believers today couldn't care less about leading people to the Lord for salvation. [/b]This is tragic. Most Christians claim to believe in eternal damnation for the lost, yet there are so few soulwinners today. Why? :

This is a sad and great observation. What a miracle will it be to have every christian everywhere sharing the gospel and leading others to Christ .

God bless.

@mabel

What will impress the Lord at Christmas is your gift of love to Him, expressed in leading a sinner to receive salvation. No one is applauded or honoured in heaven for putting up the finest Christmas decorations, or for organizing the loudest Christmas party. What gets heaven’s attention is that person you touch with the love of Christ and lead to salvation. That’s what brings joy to the Father’s heart and causes all of heaven to exuberantly rejoice: “…joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance” (Luke 15:7).

I love this part, God bless you

Great thread. Every Christian must learn to hear Gods voice for himself. It's the proof of son ship .

Romans 8:14
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
