Which one be legitimate wife again when they are all of them supposedly sanctioned by Allah? I smell jealousy. Where exactly is the title statement to be found? .

ProudNigerian01:
Nobody is even good, We are only hoping on God's mercy to be sanctified. Only God is truly good.

Matt.19.17 - So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

First of all, Holiness is not about being Good. Yes, God is Good/the standard of Righteousness, and it is He alone who is able to justify those who keep His Law (His teachings and commandments and are become Holy as a result) and then His Righteousness.

Additionally, when Jesus Christ spoke of the taking of one of two men working out in the fields, and one of two women grinding in the mills, that was nothing to do with the rapture delusion spread by those of the religion of Christianity, not at all.

36 “No one knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the angels in heaven don’t know when it will be. Only the Father knows.
37 “When the Son of Man comes,[/color] it will be the same as what happened during Noah’s time.
38 In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving their children to be married right up to the day Noah entered the boat.
39 They knew nothing about what was happening until the flood came and destroyed them all. “It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.
40 Two men will be working together in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left.
41 Two women will be grinding grain with a mill. One will be taken and the other will be left.
42 “So always be ready. You don’t know the day your Lord will come.
43 What would a homeowner do if he knew when a thief was coming? You know he would be ready and not let the thief break in.
44 So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you don’t expect him. - Matthew 24 vs 36 - 44

...

14 “You will see ‘the terrible thing that causes destruction.’ You will see this thing standing in the place where it should not be.” (Reader, I trust you understand what this means.) “Everyone in Judea at that time should run away to the mountains.
15 They should run away without wasting time to stop for anything. If someone is on the roof of their house, they must not go down to take things out of the house.
16 If someone is in the field, they must not go back to get a coat.
17 “During that time it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have small babies.
18 Pray that these things will not happen in winter,
19 because those days will be full of trouble. There will be more trouble than has ever happened since the beginning when God made the world. And nothing that bad will ever happen again.
20 But the Lord has decided to make that terrible time short. If it were not made short, no one could survive. But the Lord will make that time short to help the special people he has chosen. - Mark 13 vs 14 - 20

...

20 “You will see armies all around Jerusalem. Then you will know that the time for its destruction has come.
21 The people in Judea at that time should run away to the mountains. The people in Jerusalem must leave quickly. If you are near the city, don’t go in!
22 The prophets wrote many things about the time when God will punish his people. The time I am talking about is when all these things must happen.
23 During that time it will be hard for women who are pregnant or have small babies, because very bad times will come to this land. God will be angry with these people.
24 Some of the people will be killed by soldiers. Others will be made prisoners and taken to all the different countries. The holy city of Jerusalem will be under the control of foreigners until their time is completed. - Luke 21 vs 20 - 24

What Jesus Christ instead meant was that approximately half of the population of men and women in the land at the time that was the last days of God's judgment against the Nation of Israel(and the land of Judah) would be decimated by the armies and chaos that would ensue. The only escape lay for those who heed his warning, including those who were sealed by God whom God had planned to remove from Jerusalem before the end came to the land.

∆ take your Bible and read see for yourself..........

1)holiness. 2) righteousness of God which will be obvious in the fruits you produce
3) total obedience to the will of God that's all..... they can all still be plainly summarized as HOLINESS

You have it switched up!

Total Obedience to God's Law-- Jesus Christ ---, leads to Holiness. Holiness opens the door to approval from God in the way of Righteous and doing of works of Righteousness all while continuing to walk in absolutely obedience to His Law.

■ The fact that you need to resort to insults just to pass your message across shows how whole your brain is. You go dey alright.

You feel insulted when a foolish belief if called out for exactly what it has been more than proven to be? I am not the one who ain't alright in this case.

greatiyk4u:
■ Thanks, in summary after jesus no more prophets again

Those who believe that God of Israel sent prophets into the vineyard even after He had sent His own Son who was done away with by the farmers are actually of the belief that Jesus Christ lied and so did His Father, the God of Israel.

Ahmadusmanu:
■So why are you Christians calling this evil Zionist regime supported by another evil country called America and some western allies God chosen people?.
■ What kind of sickness is that?
■ so your God chose them too shed the blood of children and spread corruption on earth right?.
■ They are trying to destroy al aqsa mosque to build the 3rd temple for the coming off their messiah.u Christians are doomed.

1. First, I am not a Christian. Second, the same way you choose to see America as an evil country and the same way you choose to view the Zionists are an evil regime is the same way they, the Christians can and choose to call these people God's chosen people. Remember, I explained earlier how religious brainwashing is not unique to any one religious group?

2. The same religious sickness that pervades those of every religion out there.

3. Obviously, God of Israel Himself has nothing to do with these squabbles between men and their religions.

4. When you are dealing with religious individuals, and this is in no way unique to any one religion mind you, expect the illogical as the rule of the day.

■ Na just say the grammar big, if not eh, the sentence de well. Wetin i mean be say, if you your righteousness de in doubt, e no go fit move mountain or do other mighty works.

Righteousness isn't faith and faith isn't righteousness though. So wetin be the focus for here abeg! Righteousness or faith? Also, without a clear unambiguous definition for either, all you have is religion and nothing of God. Religion thrives on that ambiguity of terms and those caught in its trap remain confused preys for as long as is necessary.

ola2tu:
■ this is my opinion, I think (strongly) that t[b]he Bible has been largely adulterated. for how can the old testament say A and the new testament says B, destroy and kill them, children and women and old people included. the other part says love all of them. my submission is what we read are not "really" God's word [/b]. God has been wrongly portrayed in the Bible to assassinate his "character". it's either we are been fooled, or God never said all those statements, or if he said it , then, he's not the true living God, or he said A and B was typed into the Bible or the Bible itself is a total fraud ! in all the above, I don't know for sure which is fills the gap correctly

You speak instead out of ignorance of what is presented in the book. Ignorance does not serve as evidence by the way for your claim that the book has been largely adultered. Present evidence for this assertion abeg makes we get idea wetin you dey talk.

They deserve to be in another special hell fire , made only for the both of them.

They already met their fate in God's Judgement detailed in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 24.

TEMINIKANSOSO:
■ God alone knows d right definition of Holiness, but i know i am trying in every areas to take control over my flesh. So answer me...

If God alone knows the right definition of Holiness, isn't it foolishness on your part to desire that which you lack and choose to have no understanding of?

■ @OP your essay no get order, from health benefit to bible chapter to Qur'an chapter to them say them say. Muslims fast because it like prayer has been ordained by God. Period. Any benefit is just coincidental: If you at hungry won't you give more when you know how an hungry man feels. When you fast you have more energy are more lively. When you break your fast, you appreciate the available food more ( the food that has been taken for granted all this while). God said He is not in need of one's fast if one does not shun sin. So fasting is not just leaving food but leaving sins and bad behavior. A time of gratitude and nearness to God.

There is no scriptural backing for any of the benefits you claim for your starvation-diet kind of fasting — not a single one. So, let's stop this campaign by the religious to make a liar of the God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ, abeg!

■ why do christians pray to jesus for richness?

Christians generally pretend to pray to Jesus Christ does not in fact mean it is Jesus Christ that they worship. For instance, Jesus Christ said in Matthew 6 vs 6 - 15 that those who pray to Him do so in hiding and in silence where no one can see or hear them pray. But adherents of the religion of Christianity do exactly the opposite of what Jesus Christ commands. While Christians claim with their tongues to worship Jesus Christ, they instead worship the ideas of their religious gods of men — Pastors, GBs, Popes, Prophets, Priests, Bishops, etc. — much the same way adherents of other religions equally worship the ideas fed them of their own gods of men.

The author and finisher of even those of the Christian faith are their many religious gods of men. These men decide for each sect/denomination/cult what they would believe in and what they would not. For many a Christian, the belief is generally that their god provides them with wealth and riches and this as they follow obediently the prescription provided them by their gods of men --- pastors, priests, gbs, bishops, etc. The problem is that in these sects which mostly turn out no different from the average pyramid scheme out there, only those who reach the top of the chain are assured this so-called riches provided by their god. Many others continue in suffering for the attention of the god, until even death.

■ poverty is currently dealing with my faith, i am afraid because i am losing it, i just kept asking myself questions about religion and i am afraid my mind is winning over my faith. i hv been jobless for weeks after resigning from hellish job that nearly kill me, i kept wondering why some people are getting it easy while others are suffering, majority of the people doing well doesnt even pray or pay much attention to religion, while the suffering class are ones praying so hard and kept wallowing in hardship.
i myself as an example with the way i was taught about my religion if i die now there is 70%probability that i will go to hell because i dont follow the rules, and also since i hv start this life its one suffering after the other and i will still go to hell if i die without repenting i am confused.
also if its God that make people rich, why is there rich muslims and rich christians? is it the jesus that make some muslims rich and forget his christians or is it God that make christians rich and forget his poor muslims?
■ i am confused, i am still muslim i am afraid of dying and going to hell after suffering in Nigeria.

1. Jesus Christ told His followers in John 6 vs 25 - 35 that they should no longer work for food that perishes. Your jobs/careers/investments, etc. on this earth are exactly for that which Jesus Christ said that His disciples are no longer to do. So, how can Jesus Christ be said to be involved in the enrichment of Christians and Muslims?

2. Well, your faith seems to be in the gods of men you have aka imams and co. So you would need to go ask them what provisions are available through them for folks in your particular situation.

..John 3:3 the bible says... Jesus said unless one is born again...he cannot see the kingdom of God, heaven if the person is a sinner...are you saying we should not take the Bible serious...the bible the word of God

What in the world are you on about. The verse you quoted says nothing of your rapture idea so what do you mean?

Delightsome2023:
■ you're saying this because you probably have a giant diLd0 you shove up your pussy and ass to satisfy you whenever you get h0rny. That's why marriage is the last thing on your mind. But the pains, frustration and bitterness is clearly written over there as you can't deny the truth that you're going to die lonely and childless.

Use your brain from time to time abeg! Does the having of a Love Machine abi wetin you dey mean to change the condition of the widowed women with so many children they cannot feed? Does the having of a Love Machine make better the condition of the woman abandoned in marriage, many of them forced to raise their kids in the end right in their own father's house? Whoever do una this thing no mean una better abeg! Na Love Machine go feed them and their many children? Na Love Machine go help them raise their kids to realize their place in life as humans who have rights like everyone else and not abandoned elements in society?

When some of those same women end up killing themselves ou of depression, I bet people like you will be there to "Oooh and Arrgh!" over how miserable and lonely their state turned out, forgetting say na una equally tell them say na only people wey no marry dey end up lonely and seemingly childless. Na una, always speaking out of both sides of una mouth.

Marriage should be the last thing on the mind of anyone who knows he/she is not ready for the responsibilities and the work required to make it work if it falls through. Marriage should not be engaged in by those who aren't even able to take care of themselves first. Marriage should be only for those who are mentally and physically able to handle the stresses and responsibilities it brings. That is common sense! Start engaging your medulla Oblongata so e go fit pay dividends.

■ Human flesh only commits sin throughout the entire life. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the body of a human is a factory producing sin. The human body lives on sin that God hates as a daily meal. The flesh of a human likes to commit sin; it enjoys committing adultery, the sin of lewdness, and going against God. And that is why it needs God's mercy to avoid its due punishment.

God's mercy DOES NOT cause humans to avoid punishment/judgment. If what you claim were even the slightest of truths, Adam and Eve should have been able to avoid due punishment but that never happened. All of their descendants live that judgment to this very day. God of Israel promised to judge and condemn the entire nation of Israel eventually and He did just as — He destroyed the Nation of Israel in 720BC and its sister nation, Judah, in 70AD— He said He would in Deuteronomy 28 vs 15 through to Deuteronomy 30 vs 1 - 6 & Leviticus 26 vs 12 - 43; the descendants of Israel continue to live under that heavy curse which God promised would utterly destroy them each wherever He scattered them to on the planet until they turned back to Him and acknowledged Him again as their God.

Adam and Eve had God's mercy right there in the garden and that did not cause them to avoid God's punishment and judgment. Israel had all the mercy of God but still chose to disobey God and incur His Wrath and punishment in the end. Those whom Jesus Christ said were dogs — the non-Israelites — and so were excluded from HIs Covenant(that which is Holy) continue to live under the curse of Adam to this day even with God's mercy poured daily to them while in it. The mercy of God does not remove or reduce God's Judgment nor does it stay His judgment. His Judgment/curse is sure even as He pours His mercy on mankind every day.

■ you go old for your papa house.
■ Menopause is knocking, no go give sense to your yamayama bald head

So because she no wan old for her papa house, she suppose go jump into marriage with some dingbat and maybe end up booted in the chest to death like Osinachi abi?

2. Menopause is knocking so she should then go have children she has no means to feed and maybe end up needing to sell them to get by.

What is wrong with your head for Pete's sake? Leave her alone make she sort her self and situation out as best fits her case. Go see all the many widows and women abandoned in marriage by their many husbands and tell you how the same old age better for them, and their children wey dem no fit care for.

Peter never actually bore witness to a particular one of the many statements made in Paul's his epistles. Peter never infact mentioned a particular letter or writing so to assert that Peter agreed with all suggested in Paul's various epistles requires a tremendous leap in judgment.

Above all, the law regarding agreements on truths as given by Jesus Christ stipulates that at least 2 or fhree witnesses have to agree on particular thing/issue/truth for it to be considered of Jesus Christ I.e. Jesus Christ be in their midst. However, with Peter never in fact mentioning any one thing/issue/truth stated by Paul, he fails as a witness standing with Paul.

Emm4:
Although the experiences were scary, we have been able to add to our faith in the Bible that hell fire is real. Read:

This man claims that when Jesus Christ said no one would be sent back from the dead to warn the living, He, Jesus Christ, lied. The man also claims that when Jesus Christ said that no one would enter into Heaven or Hell until after He has returned and judged the goats and sheep in His Kingdom Jesus Christ also lied. If the one who is the King in the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ, is a liar according to this man's tale, why then should we believe his tale?

Ahmadusmanu:
■ Let me clarify your misunderstanding.just because u leave in Israel doesn't makes you an Israelite. I cited some example with Esther and kaleb to prove my point.
■ most Jews today that practice Judaism don't leave in Israel.this so called Zionist group parading themselves as Israelites are not the God chosen people.the Zionist group is founded by a Jewish British in the early 1914 with the mission of bringing the j3ws back to the holy land.the Zionist group is a circular and non religious group that have no covenant with gos

Caleb and Esther whom you mentioned were the people of the promises and that promise had everything to do with not just the bloodline but also the land.

2. The Nation of Israel as it exists today is in no way connected to same nation described in Scripture -- the original Israel was destroyed by God of Israel around 720BC while the sister nation was destroyed beginning around 70AD. The current is a secular nation and so should be treated as such.

As for the so-called Zionists, their ideas are theirs. Only those among them who happen to have the blood of Jacob in their veins are among those chosen by God of Israel.

■ The Anglican Church of The Pentecost, Diocese of Lagos Mainland on Sunday honoured Lady Tina Okafor, two others with Ezinne title.
The amazing mother was honoured in a grand style in the church during Mother's Day Celebration. According to the Chair lady of Mothers Day/Award Committee, Mrs Nkechi Ezenwa: "Lady Tina was given Ezinne title due to the fact that the Women of the Anglican Church of the Pentecost considered her Marriage of 30 years a success.

Wait a seocnd....I read news the other day of a husband and wife couple who divorced after 30 years of marriage. Does this equally mean their marriage was a success as well?

Imagine the brainwashing! Giving her an award, not for achievements in the community or something tangible accomplished but rather for possibly enduring 30 years in her marriage. And this is what her religion is about? Na wa ooo!

The effectual power of Jesus work best with blemish free faith. Blemish free faith activates the effectual power of Jesus better than baby milk faith.

If we as wetin be faith now, you go come up with yet more vague assertions.

Ahmadusmanu:
■ What is Israel? Some christians, especially the televangelist when they talk about Israel,they bring up a map and point out a country over there named Israel roughly the same place the Israel in the bible was.and therefore, that must be the Israel in the bible.they will apply everything the bible have said about Israel to that country and all the promises of Abraham and apply it to that country.so you end up with preachers who preach very loudly and very clearly through out satellite tv everywhere that no matter what,if you are a good Christian u must support that country over there called Israel regardless.
■ But as a person who studied the old testament, there is a problem with that. because even in the old testament, God did not defined Israel by it ethnic, boundaries or it's geographical boundaries.God always defined Israel as the people who follow him and made covenant with him.God is not about where you live or who your parents where.God is about are you in covenant with him?.because the covenant is what defined Israel not ethnicity or where they live.
that why u can be a true Israelite but leaves in Persia like Esther,u can be part of true Israel but not Jewish like kaleb.
■ With the intence brainwashing form the Christian preachers, you end up having good faithful christians subsribing to a circular democracy western government country which is what Israel is and applying biblical prophesy, writing and words applied to the faithful covenant of the Israel in the old testament to our todays circular Israel. u see that the results are very far away from anything you can find from the old testament and the new testament especially.

1. OK.

2. These claims of yours are equally as dishonest as the claims made by the lying televangelists you decry. First of all, God is the one who makes Covenant with people/persons, not the other way around. Second, the entire Old Testament reveals that God's chose the people of Israel, descendants of Abraham AND Isaac AND Jacob as His Chosen people -- the 12 tribes of Israel to be specific. His chosen were israelites of the 12 tribes of Israel who literally had the blood of Israel coursing through their veins. Not just anyone with an idea and a hope of some kind made the cut. That much is made clear in the Old Testament.

As for the land, I was equally important to the identity given to the people by God by way of the Covenant. They were uprooted from their father, Abraham's land, by God and asked to move to another land which He would give to them. Yes, Esther was an israelite even in captivity and Caleb an israelite even before he entered the promised land, but that land was part of the agreement that was made them by the God of Israel who made them israelites.

3. The brainwashing that is religion is found in every religion, mind you. Yes, there are no connections--- direct or indirect -- to be found with the nation of Israel today and that which existed thousands of years ago, but the Christians aren't the only parties trying to assert a religious angle to this disagreement.

■ Some call you antichrist, maybe they are right. Meet Jesus first and then we can talk. For now you're totally ignorant

Straybullet:

I am not perturbed about being labeled an antichrist by religious nutcase who don't even realize what they in fact believe and would rather cling to ignorance rather than reject the lies they have been fed by their gods of men though.

...but it's in the bible...in the book of revelation in the bible

The book of Revelations is mostly a book of dream/visions and like every dream/vision, there is need for at least a second related reference in order to understand what is written. Did Jesus Christ Himself, the one whom you believe is to bring about this so called rapture provide you evidence of such happening?

DavidEsq:
■ That's exactly what Jesus Christ said: "That we shld have intense live for fellow Christians and by this the world wld know that we are his disciples".
The reverse is the case today. Ppl think buts by speaking in tongues, which has been badly understood, that makes one a true Christian.

Jesus Christ never said what you claim. He instead spoke those words to His followers who are absolutely not of the religion of Christianity;Jesus Christ disavowed religion beginning with the religion of His time.

Fiscus105:
■One thing you guys don't know is that, thr are miracles and they are real, but God doesn't just do miracles recklessly, because he himself has given us functional brains to know the right and wrong and he intervene when human intervention cannot rescue the situation again. The miracle he did for A, he might decide not to do it for B. When B not getting miracle that A got, he would come out and be telling trash about God. If you like saying million thrashes about working of God, it doesn't stop him, being Almighty.

So, what you are saying in whose name Jesus Christ was able to make the blind to see, the lame to walk, deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak... was a false God since Jesus Christ healed even those who not only did not believe in God but also had bad things in them even afterward - Luke 10:13 & Matthew 11:21?

MrBroke:
You Religious people are the most ignorant and vague people on earth. Reality and common sense is just far from you guys

Very very vague indeed!

Lukuluku69:
■ So, what will happen to those who lived and die before Christ?
■ What about those who didn't hear about him before the European Colonizers arrived our shores here in West Africa?

Jesus Christ did not come to save those before Him. Rather, He came to save the Lost Sheep of Israel, those who were cursed by the God of Israel beginning about 1900 years ago.

2. Also, Jesus Christ did not come to save the dogs — the non-Israelites—, as He made abundantly clear that dogs should not be given that which is Holy — the New Covenant Law and Truth of God in the Kingdom of God — as they would simply trample it and turn around to hurt those who give it to them.

This is not an attempt to hold brief for OP, mind you!

Rejoice28:
■ Friends Jesus Christ loves y'all and he want you to accept him as your personal lord and saviour by giving your life to Christ, believing in him and repenting of your sins.remember tomorrow might be too late. Shalom

That is a bloody religious lie! Jesus Christ instead said in His Gospels that His love belongs only to those who would obey Him - John 13 v 1 & John 15 vs 9-14 — all others who believe but refuse to obey as His enemies. So why spread these religious lies using His name?
