OlaoChi: I know a Christian family that are so devote but yet still very poor and living in bad conditions upon all their hope in Jehovahsorry for the late reply. I didn't see this in time. Your mentality has been smeared with the popular thinking of today. God is not a goodluck charm at our beck and call. God is much bigger that that. Once we follow his plans and purposes for our lives, all will be well. Still, one must have faith in God to fulfill basic needs. And just because a christian is poor does not mean God is unjust. There will be a problem of relationship. Don't make hasty judgements based on appearances. |

Hitler hated the christian God and the 10 commandments. He created a new Jesus that wasn't Jewish and claimed Jewish people were not entirely as "human" as germans. To claim he followed the tenets of the christian religion is blatant lying and bold stupidity. Hitler was a twisted man who twisted others, an evil man. Simple. But atheists simply deny the fact that atheism can become extreme, they divorce themselves from all disadvantages that can arise when a twisted man embraces their ways of thinking and claim atheism is a totally good position that cannot be warped by human nature. Nonsense. Atheism and atheists can be violent, fanatical and filled with mocking hatred just as any other position can because it has and even magnifies its basic problem; humanity; human nature. Atheism cannot handle human hatred and human imperfections. Christian religion cannot handle it. A devoted relationship with Christ can and will. Until man is able to change his nature, no amount of reformation or denial of God or scientific finding will help. Until there is a radical change of nature as the bible states, no amount of "good works" will erase our anger and envy and greed and jealousy and lying and stealing. We only decieve ourselves if we think we're okay the way we are. |

harbiola1: Who wants to argue with you, Me?no. I'm not in the mood for arguments over words. What I have posted before is the best I can give to this thread. People will read it and change. OlaoChi: So since Christians deny the laws of the old testament why do you still have it as part of your Biblechristians do not deny the law. The law is fulfilled in usthrough faith in Christ. And the OT stands to teach us and show us example, and show us Gods plan through the ages. |

OlaoChi:I should spare you the lecture? "Christians" should change first? Do you not understand that you're embracing the same fanaticism you so detest by hating others that don't subscribe to your worldview? I'll continue on the thread later. See you there. |

OlaoChi: Religions aren't bad but what's wrong is being over-religious to the extent of being a puppet that is controlled by a book or by menNOTHING, especially the excuses you just gave up there, should warrant hate. You are just like the religious intolerant hypocritics then, who hate all those who don't aspire their worldviews. That is fanatism and extremism. Please rid yourself of hate, it will only make things worse. 2 Likes |

plaetton: Josh. You are such clown. Do you believe demons exist? I did not deny the existence of demons. I just said if christians really read the bible, they wouldn't bother and be obsessed with them, looking for them and running from them in everything they watch and taste and do. Merry Christmas sir.

What is this? Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah).

plaetton: Yeah, by embracing an atheistic worldview.yes, according to plaetton, you can be free from demons by denying their existence. I can be free from prison by denying its existence. I can escape with criminal behaviour by denying the existence of the law court. That aside, on a serious note, why do some Christians bother so much about demons, it even affects their behaviour and their lifestles. Smh. If we believe Jesus has saved us from all these influences, how come we still live as if in bondage to them? Does the bible not say that we are seated with Christ far above these influences? Does it not say we should not be decieved into following silly rules like "don't touch this" and "don't eat this" and "don't plait this hair" or "don't use attachments"? Nawa o. Following some of those kind of rules and obsession with demon-demon thinking will not free us or help us. Even after salvation and deliverance. This is what saves us: John 8:31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. 32 [size=14pt]And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.[/size] Even after so called deliverances, if we do not continue in the truth and authority of Gods word, we shall not be set free. Its the truth; the word of God, that sets a man free. Let us study Gods word, and live it. Walking in his freedom. 1 Like |

God punishes sin. He's a just judge. He is not just a loving father, he's a just judge. Everything balances itself out in the bible. God will never be, and can never be unjust. |

rationalmind: If only religious people most especially his church members think, these "prophecies" alone should show everyone this guy is a scam.I think people are gullible. Majority of the "prophecies" I see there is just death, evil, death, death, disaster, death, death. 1 Corinthians 14:But [on the other hand], the one who prophesies [who interprets the divine will and purpose in inspired preaching and teaching] speaks to men for their upbuilding and constructive spiritual progress and encouragement and consolation. (AMP) The only prophecies of calamity in the bible are very literal judgements on nations and peoples because of sin. Even then, it was coupled with preachings of repentance and turning away so that people will avert these judgements,every one of them came and will come to pass. Those who did not repent, even israel, reaped judgement. There was still comfort and restoring and encouragements though. In this age, according to the bible, God has set a time for global judgdement, and we're in the preaching phase(according to the bible). So in this new testament, prophecy is for encouragement, edification and comfort. People whi prophecy doom, gloom, football(can you imagine), entertainment are making a mockery of themselves. How is Almighty God interested in football or entertainment for pete's sake? In these days, prophets are to edify not cheat the church. Chei. Prophets preach, like john. The revelation of the ages has already been given to us in the bible. People should not fall prey to scoundrels who think just fiesty shouting prayer will deliver them from troubles of life. Nonsense. Prophecy is real, but let us be careful. God does things for a purpose, which is ultimately to glorify himself. Why will he be predicting the results of a football match or stating the obvious fact of corruption in nigeria. That is an insult. Let christians beware and judge all things with the bible. |

Merry CHRISTmas and a happy new year. Yes yes, december 25th was formerly a pagan celebration day, but now we remember the birth of Jesus Christ with it. Simple. Christians should remember Christs birth. Pagans can do whatever they want, no one is stopping them. But it's not okay to secularize the principles of Christs birth and giving. |

harbiola1: If i may ask, if not good-work then WHAT?faith man! Simple faith. Think for a while, don't be decieved. Is God an honest and mighty and good judge? Capable of punishing sin? Yes? Now are you guilty of sinning? yes? Then why do you want to use your good works to bribe God? How do you think God as a good judge will be impressed by a man guilty, condemned of sin giving and praying and still indulging in sin because of his imperfections? Its like speaking to a judge as a condemned criminal and saying "ccommon good judge, can't you let me off the hook? I've washed your car, I've built monuments in your name, release me judge". Its a clear bribe. That's why the bible says our self righteousness are as filthy rags before God. Its cuz we're imperfect and condemned already. Do you think God will forgive you during judgement? On what basis then? As a good judge, his very goodness will cast you, as well as me and all of humanity into hell! That's why Jesus is important. The very Jesus you fight against is the saviour. As God will not compromise the standards of judgement and his integrity, Jesus took on flesh and came down, AND BECAME YOUR SUBSTITUTE, bearing Gods wrath for your imperfections and sins, and delivering us from our imperfect natures. Through trust and faith in his sacrifice, we are counted as righteous and good before God. Through trust and faith. This is the power of the christian message. This is what makes men sacrifice their lives as missionaries to go to your abode. They have a message to pass across man. The wages of sin is Death. But the FREE-GIFT of GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord. We are all guilty, but he came to bear our eternal punishment. How can you make a false image of God as a corrupt judge who will accept bribes of good works? Receive Jesus today and receive life, and favour from God, and salvation from sin, and citizenship of heaven. God bless you 1 Like |
