MaxInDHouse:
Is your God partial or biased? I think you should allow Myer to have the same experience as you, i strongly believe he will know how to worship this God of yours after the God has spoken to him like he did to you!

But JEHOVAH our own God has a setting, there is always an arrangement he makes to communicate with his people, all his worshipers must submit ourselves under that arrangement so whenever or wherever we find one another we speak the same thing {Zephaniah 3:9} because his arrangement is to make us all think alike! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10

Thanks!

The organization is not for Jesus my LORD. All Jesus disciples point humanity to Jesus:

Many questions in the above link you refused to answer

....
*. Romans 11:36 "KJV:For of him, and through him, and to him, ARE ALL THINGS: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (i.e the Son)

NOTE! God said He created all things with His own hands, see Isaiah 45:12.

2. These things were created by Himself and for Himself.
For His own pleasure they are and were created, see Colossians 1:16, Revelation 4:11

3. " of Him" means that the things used belongs to Him (the Son) Romans 11:36.

For the fact that Jesus possesses all the qualities of the true God, He's the true God.


Wait for the remaining ones

...

*. Jeremiah 27: 5 "KJV:I HAVE MADE the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. ( i.e the Father)

*. John 1:3 "KJV: ALL THINGS were MADE BY HIM; and without him was not any thing MADE that was made. ( i.e the Son)

*. Colossians 1:16 "KJV:For by him were ALL THINGS CREATED, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL THINGS were CREATED by him, and FOR HIM ( i.e the Son)...

...
1. FATHER/SON IS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS:

*. Isaiah 45:5-7 "KJV:I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6
KJV:That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7
KJV:I FORM the light, and CREATE darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

*. Isaiah 45:12 "
KJV:I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even MY HANDS, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. ( i.e the Father)
...

*. One of the laws in mathematics says if 1(one) is multiplied by itself it remains the same, i.e 1×1×1= 1.

John 16:28 "I CAME FORTH from the Father..."

In my understanding He is saying " I multiplied/increased/project from the Father"

The 1st one(1) is one, 2nd one(1) is one and the 3rd one(1) is one. the same
Whatever description you give to any of them, the same is true for the rest.

This is the law that qualifies Jesus as the true God!

Let's see some of the qualities of the true God:

1. Creator
2. Power
3. Omniscient
4. Everlasting
5. Receiving worship
6. Judge of all
7. Love
8. Life

So, since God's characteristics are endless, I will be posting 1-8 with Bible quotations.

My Jesus is one million times better than them all.

Will you have Him?

I'll be posting it bit by bit for easy reading and understanding.

If you have questions asked. If you have contributions... you are welcome.

Moreover I would like to let you know that this is in continuation of the topic TRINITY EXPLAINED
https://www.nairaland.com/5745609/trinity-explained

The best and simple way to know anything
genuine is to consider and take note of all it's detail characteristics.

But the infinite God can never be completely known in all ramifications.

Notwithstanding, He has not hid Himself, just that the human mind is too small to accommodate Him.

@ Myer the Lord still loves you!

I later fell into immorality and the loving Lord allowed me to suffered terribly for it.

I stopped going to church I was too confused...

He later called me back. It's difficult for me to forget that day also.
He used Isaiah 43:25. It was as if somebody was talking to me verbally
"
KJV:I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins."

All I can say today is LORD, THANK YOU FOR ENDURING THE CROSS FOR ME;

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME AND

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT UP DAILY IN ORDER TO RESCUE ME.

I'M GRATEFUL LORD!

... when the devil noticed that I'm in for a business, he stirred up my mother.
Hmmm. It wasn't a child's play.

I was rejected and denied, I cried and cried. But I was not ready to let go my friendship with Jesus.

The persecution lasted for 2years and...
If I should tell you this story of my sufferings, no, there's no strength to type it all...

https://www.nairaland.com/5760398/nl-christians-what-persecution-did

While this hunger lingered, I saw some boys running somewhere with Bible in their hands.
I asked them, they told me they are going to Bible study.

I joined them in the week that followed. Oh!!!, it's the Lord's doing.

The things that was lacking in me was supplied. My questions answered....

... they sang a song saying Jesus suffered terribly for me, I and Younger brother, we left the place so quiet and thoughtful.

From that day I started searching to know more about this Jesus. And I asked a lot of questions about Him.

The 1st church are not grounded in the Word, which made me search for where I can get satisfaction.
In those days, from Sunday to Sunday is like a month interval for me.

I needed someone to tell me something about Jesus every now and then...

Myer:
It would interest me more how you started and what still keeps you going, besides your fear of hell of course.

My parents served masquerade (traditional occultism).
And I was to be initiated into it, but a friend invited me to church.

I will never forget that Easter weekend that something happened to me...

Myer:
It would interest me more how you started and what still keeps you going, besides your fear of hell of course.

The only thing that keeps me going is the grace of God, sustaining grace.

I discover that if somebody is serving God because of fear of hell, the person won't go far.

But when you grow in grace, and you serve Him because of love, you'll go very far.

My story of how I get converted is very interesting and long. I will try to summarize it anyway...

Myer:
Well, let me help you.
The Jews were born saved according to God's covenant with Abraham. Just by virtue of being a Jew they were saved. Except occasionally when God chose to punlish them.

The Apostles were saved without any faith or prayer just simply submission. If you read your Bible there were so many instances Christ admonished them for their lack of faith.

Also the woman with the issue of blood only had faith, no prayer, no submission.

The Samaritan woman had faith, after experiencing Jesus' prophetic gift, no prayer no submission.

Jeremiah was saved without having anything to do with it. Just because God had preordained it to be so. Jeremiah 1:5

So like always say, unless you pick your bible to read yourself and not just swallow hook, line and sinker all your pastor teaches you, you'll keep thinking you understand the Bible when you don't.

You can check 1 Corinthians 10 from verse 1 down
*. 5 "KJV:But WITH MANY OF THEM GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6
KJV:Now THESE THINGS WERE OUR EXAMPLES, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted."

Nobody submitted himself to who they don't believe, so they have faith in Him.

No, not that they don't have faith but their Faith was little: Mathew 6:30; 8:26; 14:31; 16:8 and so on.

This is miracle, not salvation, but faith remains indispensable though! ( Hebrews 11:6).
FAITH remains indispensable, the woman of Samaritan prayed. She said " give me this water" water = salvation:
*. John 6:10 "KJV:Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; THOU WOULDEST HAVE ASKED OF HIM, AND HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE LIVING WATER.
15
KJV: THE WOMAN SAITH UNTO HIM, SIR, GIVE ME THIS WATER, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

His (Jeremiah's) story of salvation is not given, should it be given, it would have followed the same steps!

You can check out the quotations again, and were it disagree with what I'm saying call my attention to it.

Myer:
I don't know who your pastor is but apparently he has fed you with his own doctrine not the Bible.

The Bible never mentioned that Rahul stopped her brothel business.
Neither did it tell us she prayed to God.
She simply recognised that through the rumours she's heard about Israelites, they usually conjure their enemies so she decided to help them on the condition that they spared her family.

It might help you to know that God doesn't want to be understood. The moment you think you understand God he changes his strategy.

Which is why I've always maintained that what Jesus said is that the Holyspirit is very important in a Christians life. If you only follow biblical examples chances are you will assume what God is saying when he's doing something else. But if truly you can be sure that the Holyspirit leads you, then you can know per time what God desires of you.

Cos as the scriptures says as many as are led by God these are the sons of God Romans 8:14

I want to make one thing clear here, as I have seen from the Word:

God has never made the steps to salvation ambiguous at anytime.

No body has been saved at anytime without faith/belief, prayer and submission/obedience.

If you know anyone you can point out...

From your comments I understand that you have backslided, and from the Word I understand that the backsider in heart is full of his own ways.

Proverbs 14:14 "
KJV: THE BACKSLIDER IN HEART SHALL BE FILLED WITH HIS OWN WAYS: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself."

So, what interests me now is to know how you started and how you end it.

The quotations I gave, if it doesn't have the point I raised, call my attention to it.

Jesus is coming soon...

Myer:
Like I said, it's you who isn't comprehending what you're reading.

Philippians 2:12 says work out your salavatiin, yes.
Phillipians 2:13 says it us God who will determine both your willingness to work out your salvation and also your ability to do it.

Clearly vs 13 proves it is all God's doing.

Have you not read that while Esau was yet unborn God already hated him and loved Jacob? Malachi 1:2-3, Romans 9:13

Did you not read in the Bible how God hardens people's hearts according to his desire? And how he himself prepares others for his use?

Until you read the Bible with an open mind, you will "choose" not to see these things.

It's ok anyway. I guess I wish i also didn't see these things, perhaps I would still have been a devout Christian.lol

I would like to hear about your journey into the faith and how you are doing today in the faith. That's if you don't mind. Thanks

hoopernikao:
You are speaking for him. Let him speak for himself. His earlier posts aren't disappearing here, at least not soon.


It's also obvious you missed the key element in a man's salvation. Salvation is not God's choice. He doesn't chose who to be saved. It is God's work alone but the decision to receive what he did for you is solely yours.

Christ died for all men. Either thief, pharisee, saducees, nairalander or scammer. He died for all.


So the key element you missed is, how then was the thief on the cross accepted and the pharisee were not. The answers were there for you to read if you chose to read with open mind.


How is a man saved, redeemed and accepted of God. It's clear in the bible

Romans 10
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.


So, a man is saved by his faith in Christ, his gospel.


What you saw in the thief was an act of faith in the person of Jesus, listen to him again

Luke 23:42
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

He believed there is a kingdom, and he believed Jesus's own it. He believed only Jesus can get him into it. That is the act, the faith, the repentance, the reaching out, the calling on the name, the believing with the heart. That is how the thief got saved. Not a forced actions or actions driven by sharing money on the street or philanthropist. It's a believing.

It wasn't a random salvation. He acted on the word, he acted by his believe. That is, when a man believe the gospel, he receives God's salvation.


So, can we say this in the case of the Pharisee?

Well it depends on the Pharisee you refer to. Nicodemus was one, Joseph of Arimathea too. And they followed Jesus.

So, why were many Pharisee rejected? Is it God that determine their rejection? Or they rejected the mercy, salvation and preaching of the kingdom.

As a Bible student, I am sure you know the answer now.


So, does God chooses randomly? No

Is the scripture clear on who is saved and who is of the lord? Yes.


Hence, it is a strange gospel to treat the scriptures as portraying God as inconsistent and confuse being, who only act on momentary emotions.

Lastly, take note, just a little attention to verses and reading them together with surrounding text will surely deliver us from this error of misinterpretation.

My brother, more � from above upon your head ijn.

From the OT till today faith and prayer are indispensable:

The following are the steps taken by Rahab which led to her deliverance:

- FAITH (Hebrews 11:6): even though she was not there when the Israelites defeated their enemies, she just believe the whole thing (Joshua 2:9-11);

- PRAYER (Matthew 7:7): she made request, she desired, she prayed... ( Joshua 2:12-13);

- OBEDIENCE ( Genesis 22:18; Jeremiah 7:23; John 14:21-24): she obeyed the conditions given to her, this made her to stop prostitution and remain separated ( Joshua 2: 17-21; 2 Corinthians 6:17)

As it was then so it is now WHOSOEVER shall take these steps shall be saved...

That is,- BELIEVE that Jesus died and resurrected for you...( Romans 9:9-10)

-PRAY for forgiveness and grace for new life...( Acts 8:22)

-OBEY the Word of God...( 1 Peter 1:22)

May God bless all who love the Word!
Amen!!

KJV:And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40
KJV:And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.


The Project description: THE GIVING OF EVERLASTING LIFE.

38
KJV:For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN means He's Superior to...

NOT TO DO MINE OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME.

.... carry out a well planned project.

i.e, He's Superior to carry out a well planned project.

My understanding of the verses:
John 6:37-40

KJV:All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Any person, any where who have sincere desire for the true God/the truth will NEVER BE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE, WILL NEVER BE
REJECTED AND HE (the true seeker) MUST BE DIRECTED TO CHRIST!

Its not about being the bread winner the society has changed where women have equal opportunities to jobs like men unlike in those days,so a woman might get a job before her spouse or husband doesn't mean the man is lazy but if you look deeply you will find some of this women are not loyal and sometimes the men of this ladies have to ignore a lot to keep sane and maintain their sanity and pride as guys e.g the fcmb woman who got bastard children from her MD in a bank,her husband would suspect but in the name of hardworking woman ignore the fact that his wife is a hardworking hoe untill she told him his kids are not his.Many of this ladies you talked about if you search beyond the surface are not saints and have done horrible things that are usually dark secrets in the name of bread winner and only sometimes stick to their partners because they can't get a dangote or someone that will accommodate them as single mothers who is richer but will steal the opportunity to leave their lesser richer spouse if the opportunity presents itself most ladies are naturally selfish and born with the spirit of eve.it doesn't mean they are not good ones in reality but its very rare,opportunity reveals the true selfish nature of a woman who rarely loves a man unconditionally.

God bless you jare!

Let all these girls try read the characteristics of a good wife and check if they are one... before they get angry that men are bashing them.

The women, as I have understood, will only respect and be submissive only to the man who meet ALL their needs.

Moreover, the needs of a woman is endless!

ngoziwrites:
Which Ngozi do you know?

I am not advertising anybody. It's just very sick that on every thread I see women are useless etc


I wanted you all to know about the Heroines and many more out there that I mentioned in my write up.

No one is focusing on this part of the story
No one talks about women that provide for the house and so many women out there that do this.

This part of the plot needs to be heard too.

Ngozi! what you don't know are more than what you know. If we examine these your examples now, you'll see 9 out of 10 are fake.
Although I'm not doubting the existence of submissive Nigerian woman, but I have not seen any.

Especially, a breadwinner, no. And I even doubt if you'll be one.

Once a woman is catering for the household, the man must be the house help if not, the marriage will end.

If I tell you stories of my experience you'll see what these men are complaining.

My finding MEN TAKE CARE OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD WITH PRIDE AND HAPPINESS BUT
WOMEN DO THAT WITH TOO MUCH COMPLAIN AND...

If some pastors condemned some kind of dresses, many people will insult them.

But we all know that these females are causing a lot of distractions.

God bless all of you who have condemned this. May He give us more grace to discourage immoral dressings.

I think Regina marries riches and wealth rather than an old man.

If that is the choice of Ned nwoko's daughter, Julia, then the father will surely respect her choice.

We want change...
