∆ Please Nairalanders, was there any Biblical record of prophets after Jesus Christ?
If No,why all the Prophets in this our Generation?

1. There are rightly no records of Prophets sent by God in the Land after Jesus Christ because as Jesus Christ made known to you before He died, John the Baptist was the last of the Prophets of YHWH. No others were sent by God of Israel after Him.

Additionally, after the last days had ended almost 1900 years ago, God put a seal on Prophets and Visions. So everyone who has since come to you claiming to be of Him have been nothing but liars and scammers in sheep's clothing.

∆ Your own dey your body. You dey always turn bible upside down

i turned the bible upside down by asserting what is in fact written in it. Are you not even ashamed to say you believe in God when you disbelieve everything He in fact says?

DeLioncourt:
■ I doubt the authenticity of those online copies jare. Besides, many of them usually copy from other online sources so you never know what's authentic online. I hear it's almost impossible to access the original copy.

Have you ever read the book yourself? Or you simply wish to cast down the opinions of others who may have all because you wish to believe in the claims that it contains mysteries and magic?

Beautifulday:
■ I am not talking about doctrine. I am talking about people giving glory go the God of their pastor whom they don't know just because he does miracle.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God of Israel. And He made it clear by way of His teachings and commandments that no man can give glory to His Son Jesus Christ. So when Churchians say they give glory to Him, this after He previously made clear He does not get glory from men, doesn't that serve as indication that Jesus Christ is not in fact the one whom they serve?

Additionally, Jesus Christ did make it abundantly clear that all those who major in claiming to use His name to do miracles and wonders are not of Him --- He never knew them - Matthew 7 vs 20 - 23. Hope you see how important it is to pay attention to the doctrines and traditions?

Beautifulday:
■ So all these people have their personal Gods?

The God of Israel(His Son Jesus Christ included) does not contradict Himself neither does He change His mind. His Laws which were declared thousands of years ago, remain the same, yesterday, today and forever. -- UNCHANGING. This, if you will be honest, is far from the doctrines and traditions of the over 47,000 sects/denominations that make up Christianity -- all EVER CHANGING and twisting.

∆ You cannot see a chosen make reference to God up to three times without saying God of the chosen.
I have searched the bible. There is no where God is used to refer to anybody or group of people except Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Israel, Jews and Hebrew.
With ever increasing doctrines of the devil, how would it feel that the God of your church is actually a demon.
You and I were not there when who was called was called. None can say of a truth that he knows for sure who called who.
My question is how can we know scripturally who the God of the chosen is?

FYI, the god of Chosen IS NOT the god of MFM IS NOT the god of Adeboye IS NOT the god of Oyedepo and IS NOT the god of Kumuyi and IS NOT the god of Oyakilome and IS NOT the god of Mbaka and IS NOT the god of Aribasala and IS NOT The god of jerry Eze and IS NOT the god of ... None of these men and their gods have any connection or relationship to the God of Israel or His Son, Jesus Christ.

■ The Hebrew verb wayyaset, translated
“moved” (NKJV) or “incited (NASV), is identical
in both passages. God and Satan’s actions are
described using the same word. The difference
lies with the sense in which the word is used:
Satan incited (or tempted) Thessalonians
3:5) David more directly, while God is spoken of
as having incited David because He allowed such
temptation to take place. The Hebrews often
used active verbs to express “not the doing of
the thing, but the permission of the thing which
the agent is said to do” Throughout the Bible, God’s
allowance of something to take place often is
described by the sacred writers as having been
done by the Lord. Samuel says God incited David mainly because he ALLOWED it, and chronicles says Satan incited David mainly because he was directly involved ie he was the prime mover. They are both correct!

In Numbers 23, Balaam said, regarding Israel , that no omen or power can afflict the people of Israel;it is the God of Israel that blesses and curses His people. So long as He is God of Israel, even Satan cannot do anything without God's explicit permission. Both statements are in fact valid ---- not contradictions.

■ Take am easy dey lie, abeg. Mumuafrika, is Satan God's errand boy, arch enemy, gay lover?
What exactly is the nature of their relationship? I also have a few questions I'd like you to tackle.
■ Does God control Satan's destiny?
■ If God uses the Devil to perform his work, does that make the Devil good?

Satan actually works for God. Most people are so fixated on the idea of Satan being an enemy but they forget that this enemy was crested by God and works exactly as he was programmed by God to - Job 1 is an example of how God uses Satan.

2. What destiny? What has destiny to do with Satan or even this issue? Na your Babalawos dey talk destiny and fate and all that jargon.

3. It doesn't make Satan good rather it means what Satan does is not sin against God but what God has created Him for..

realmindz:
■ Pick up ur bible and read those two chapters for better understanding of the question.

■ In the first instance, it was commanded....."Go and take a census" that was God commanding David while in the second instance, David did it out of God's will.
■ The devil made him do it. Whose voice or command is David suppose to listen to? He shdnt hv listened to the devil. In the time of law u dnt do things out of ur will.....U wait until u are directed by God. The ark was falling and someone tried to help and God made him pay dearly for that......In our world today, dsame man wud hv been rewarded>
Don't get it twisted, our God is not an author of confusion

None of what you claim is factual. The one who gave the command was David and he did it against God's Will(God's Law) which is clear on how and when a census are to be taken in the land of Israel.

2. The devil did not make him do anything. David was well aware of what the Law said regarding these things. Even the ones He gave the command to knew well that that order was against God but they had to carry it out since it came from the King and all of Israel suffered as a result in the end.

Ken4Christ:
■ You said Paul never meant in any of his letters that the Law of Moses is abolished. Please interpret the passage of the scripture below for us;
Ephesians 2:14-15
14  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
 15  Having ABOLISHED in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.
I can give you many more evidences. You are so ignorant and you love to argue. This is my last post on this. If you like deny the clear evidence of the scripture above. Your lies and dishonesty will send you to the pit of hell if you don't repent.

Clearly, yours is not only an issue of ignorance but also of lack of comprehension as well. Again, the passage you quoted does not say that the Law was abolished. What you are posting is not scripture since all you are doing is attempting to skew, by pulling these statements out of context, the original message of those authors for your convenience - twist it so it follows your lies. But you continue to fail woefully. Paul never in fact meant in any of his letters that the Law of Moses was abolished. He never actually said that. Rather, what Paul continued to point out, and this to those who are born-again — the primary audience of most all of His letters, whose attachment to the Old Law has been served by their being born into a New Law instead— is that their attachment to the Old Law was ended and now they are born into a new Law.

14 Christ is the reason we are now at peace. He made us Jews and you who are not Jews one people. We were separated by a wall of hate that stood between us, but Christ broke down that wall. By giving his own body,
15 Christ ended the law with its many commands and rules. His purpose was to make the two groups become one in him. By doing this he would make peace.
16 Through the cross Christ ended the hate between the two groups. And after they became one body, he wanted to bring them both back to God. He did this with his death on the cross.
17 Christ came and brought the message of peace to you non-Jews who were far away from God. And he brought that message of peace to those who were near to God.
18 Yes, through Christ we all have the right to come to the Father in one Spirit. - Ephesians 2 vs 14 - 18

What Paul wrote above applies only to those who are in Jesus Christ — those who are born-again. All the Israelites who are not born-again continue to exist to this day under the weight of the Old Law of Moses which is an eternal law that was never abolished by the coming of Jesus Christ.

You can't understand this because you are one of those Paul said that the Truth of God amounts to nothing but foolishness. You have no clue regarding that, and that is why you go around lying that the Old Law has been abolished when in fact that Law is an Eternal Covenant. Your lack of understanding of what an Eternal Covenant means serves to indict your every claim to belong to the God of Israel and His Son Jesus Christ.

Wen Matthew,Mark,Luke and John were asked dat ao many pple visited Jesus grave wen he ressurrected dey all gave different numba of pple.....wat i dnt undastand is it not holy spirit dat inspired John also inspired Matthew,why are dey aving different "views" on some issues in d Bible

Look up the meaning of the word Inspired in the Dictionary and try to realize how much it differs from the word True in the same Dictionary.

By the way, the different accounts regarding how many visited the tomb were not of error or contradiction but of facts available to each writer at the time of the writing of their particular gospel. The one writer may have only been able to gather from one source that only 2 were there while another source had more details of others that may have been there as well. These issues have nothing to do with error or contradiction, so let's not all jump up to claim out private confusion contradictions contained within Scripture.

2nd Samuel 24: Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go and take a census.....
1st Chronicles 21 : Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel...
Two accounts of the same story in the same bible, but one account said it was the Lord and another said it was Satan ....................................................................................
Please is the bible contradicting itself or was it a mistake from the writer? someone said Jehovah was satan...lol don't want to believe that....

These are not actually contradictory statements. God is the one who commands Satan — Satan's master and creator is the God of Israel. Satan was created for the job he does and he acts true to his programming. That is what Scripture in fact reveals. So, in the Book of Job where we see that Job did not lay blame for any of what happened to him on Satan, but said "God did it...," Job wasn't being foolish at all. Job was after all a man approved righteous by God.

Dire Warnings
It is imperative that, as followers of Jesus, we must heed his warnings. A lot of the warnings of Jesus identify Paul as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Take another look at the following.
Jesus says we should determine a prophet by his fruits: “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15-16). But Paul says we should determine a prophet by whether he agrees with whatever he says: “If anyone thinks to be a prophet, or a spiritual one, let him recognize the things I write to you, that they are a commandment of the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 14:37-38).
Jesus says we should beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees: “Be sure to guard against the dishonest teaching of the Pharisees! It is their way of fooling people.” (Luke 12:1). But Paul remained a Pharisee even after he became a Christian. When he observed that some of the council members were Sadducees and others Pharisees, he shouted: “I am a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. I am on trial simply because I believe that the dead will be raised to life." (Acts 23:6).
Jesus spoke of Pharisees who shut the kingdom of heaven against men: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men. For you neither go in, nor do you allow those entering to go in.” (Matthew 23:13). Make sure Paul, the Pharisee, does not prevent you from entering the kingdom of heaven.

So, did the man who put together this piece ever abandon religion of Christianity entirely since this? Or was he just another religious nutjob looking for his moment of fame like all the rest?

lemme get this straight.... the bible is not God's word

God never said your Bible is the Word of God. Rather, your pastors and mogs are the ones who cooked up that claim for their ego's sake.

LilMissFavvy:
■ Looking at it from the biblical point of view, the Bible instructs the husband to love his wife as himself and as Christ loves the church (Eph. 5:25). If this man loved his wife he would definitely allow her visit her family or he should have given her good reasons why she should not travel. . For him to stop her for no reason is somehow and if she disobeys him, then he caused it.

Those words you claim were said by Paul. Paul is neither God of Israel nor Jesus Christ who instead said that your marriages have nothing to do with the kingdom of God and that a time would come when people will realize blessed the woman without children...

29 The time is coming when people will say, ‘The women who cannot have babies are the ones God has blessed. It’s really a blessing that they have no children to care for.’ - Luke 23 vs 29

...a notion contrary to that proclaimed by Paul in his letters to women.

Please stop dragging scripture into that which does not concern scripture and you will have a more sane discussion.

P.S. the time Jesus Christ spoke of arrived over 1900 years ago.

Soap of Spirit is blood? Real death is separation from God? Known fact in spirit realm? Tufiakwa! When you read what they say you are almost certain they are speaking of Babalawo rituals

Presh555:
I have been longing to ask, with the rate of sin even on the pulpit on a daily basis. What are the criteria to make heaven? Please I need answers. Thanks in anticipation.

1● You must be born-again and become literally possessed by the first Helper - John 3 vs 1 - 21— in what is the first salvation.
2● You must become set free from slavery to sin through careful continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ - John 8 vs 31 - 44 —faithfulness is the only way to Holiness
3● You must obtain another helper who will then lead you to obtain God's approval of righteousness (you become a friend of Jesus Christ)- John 14 vs 15 - 26 & John 15 vs 1 - 15
4● You must stand faithful until the end— your last breath— to obtain the second salvation — Matthew 24 vs 12 - 13 & Mark 13 vs 13. Remember Lot's wife. She obtained the first salvation but failed to obtain the second and was destroyed as a result.

Pekun210:
■ Though both maybe beneath but one distuiguish them is everyone has appointment with death will so will be buried in the grave.both the good,holy,innocent,wicked,bad will go into the grave but everyone cannot go to hell.hell is for the sinners and the saint will be rejoicing in heaven singing hosannah

Beneath where?

This is simple really! For those who remain bound by the Old Law of Moses, all of whom have been condemned by God to perish in the grave aka Hell, Hell is the grave where they go to perish after Death aka cease to exist - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 & Genesis 3 va 19 - 24 or either sleep — for those who met the requirement for eternal life — until the time of the resurrection.

For those who are of God's New Covenant, Jesus Christ, and are hence born-again, Hell is instead the place of Eternal Damnation where the goats in the Kingdom of God will end up, after Jesus Christ has first returned and judged those in His flock, for eternity - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. The place of Eternal Damnation does not exist beneath anything. No man has ever been there and no one will until after Jesus Christ has first returned and judged His flock.

MVLOX:
RESPECT is not gained by merely ordering someone to respect you. You must earn respect by how you speak and act and by what you are.
This is illustrated in the case of Christ Jesus. He gained respect as a teacher by his manner of teaching. After his Sermon on the Mount “the effect was that the crowds were astounded at his way of teaching.” What earned him this respect? His relying on God’s word the Bible instead of the opinions of other men. His sole authority was Jehovah God and His word of truth. Jesus gained respect from both friend and foe, by earning it.—Matthew 7:28, 29; 15:1-9; John 7:32, 45, 46.
“The wife should have deep respect for her husband,” is the instruction given at Ephesians 5:33. But the husband should be diligent to merit this respect; otherwise, it will be very difficult for his wife to comply with this instruction. How can a husband fulfill his role as outlined in the Bible so as to gain such respect?
The Bible assigns the husband to a position of headship in the marriage arrangement, saying: “Let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the Lord, because a husband is head of his wife as the Christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of this body. In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, so let wives also be to their husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:22-24) Will this arrangement really contribute to happiness in the household? Some women speak out against what they describe as male chauvinism, that is, a vainglorious or exaggerated view that some men have toward their position in relation to women. But let us say at the outset that the teachings of the Bible do not endorse such male chauvinism.
The Bible emphasizes the fact that, not only the woman, but also the man is under headship. Turning to the Bible book of 1 Corinthians, chapter 11, verse 3, we find that the apostle Paul wrote these words to the congregation at Corinth: “I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God.” Man has Christ as his head, and it is from God and Christ as examples and teachers that you, the husband, are to learn how headship is to be exercised
Jehovah’s headship over Christ was exercised in loving-kindness, and Christ’s response was, “To do your will, O my God, I have delighted.” (Psalm 40:8; Hebrews 10:7) Jesus Christ’s headship, too, is loving. To those who would become his disciples he said: “I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for your souls.” (Matthew 11:29) Those who are members of his congregation, which the Scriptures liken to a bride, have indeed found such refreshment under his headship. He has not exploited them, but has been self-sacrificing in his love. This also is the kind of headship the husband is to exercise over his wife: “Husbands, continue loving your wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation and delivered up himself for it . . . In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation . . . let each one of you individually so love his wife as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.” (Ephesians 5:25-29, 33) If you set the example of submission to the headship of Christ, it will not be a difficult thing—in fact, it can be a pleasure—for your wife to have deep respect for your headship as her husband.
The great problem is that due to imperfection and inborn selfishness there are times when a husband, while wanting to be respected as the head of the family, fails to show the needed love and consideration for his wife. Often a wife will say that she doesn’t feel loved by her husband, that his only concern is his own pleasure and satisfaction. Also, some wives complain that their husbands are domineering. Perhaps this has resulted from the wife’s attempts to usurp his headship, with his resisting such usurpation. Or, the man may have grown up in an environment where many husbands are arrogant and domineering. Regardless of the cause, such abuse of headship gains the respect of no one.

On the other hand, instead of abusing headship, some husbands abdicate it. They pass all the decision-making over to their wives. Or, while telling the wife ‘not to rush them,’ they procrastinate so much that family interests suffer. They may not be lazy or idle physically, but if they shy away from mental effort the results can be the same as those described in Proverbs 24:33, 34: “‘A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,’ and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.“—Revised Standard Version.
You will gain respect from your wife if you show yourself steady and strong and able to make decisions. But that does not mean that no one else in the household is to be consulted or that your wife’s opinion is not to be given serious consideration just because it does not happen to agree with yours. Early in the Bible record we read about a serious problem in the household of Abraham and Sarah, involving their son Isaac and the son of their servant girl Hagar. Sarah recommended a solution that did not coincide with Abraham’s feelings on the matter. But God told Abraham: “Listen to her voice.”—Genesis 21:9-12.
We are not to conclude from this that a husband should always accede to his wife’s wishes. But it can be beneficial to discuss with her those decisions that affect the family, encouraging her to express her thoughts and feelings freely. Keep open the lines of communication, always be approachable, and weigh carefully her preferences in the decisions you make. Never be bossy or tyrannical in exercising headship, but manifest humility. You are not perfect, you will make mistakes, and when you do, you will want your wife’s understanding. When those situations arise, the wife whose husband is humble will find it easier to respect his headship than will one whose mate is proud.

This is all bullsheet and you know it. Not once did Jesus Christ who instead said your marriages are of this world and not of the Kingdom of God say anything regarding the woman in marriage or the place of a man in your marriage. But I highly doubt your kind care since your many mentions of the person of Christ are all to maintain your egos over others here on earth.

Apart from the opinions of Paul and maybe Peter, opinions removed from that declared by Jesus Christ Himself, none of the other passages you conveniently lifted out of context in order to assert a meaning different from that intended by the authors teach any of what you claim.

Ken4Christ:
■ Romans 7:6 But now we are DELIVERED FROM THE LAW, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Ken4Christ:

That statement by Paul is meant as an indictment against you and others like you who pretend to know God yet have no true knowledge or experience of Him like the Pharisees and Sadducees before you who equally thought that by throwing around the name of God, they were justified by Him. You pretend with your mouths to know of God but your hearts are filled with lies and the truth of God appears as nothing but foolishness to you.

And this is a religious subject, why?

MichealOlajide:
■ Noted. Thank you sir

Stay away from religion since religion is antiChrist and against the God of Israel.

P.S. Assuming it turns out you are of the blood of Jacob, becoming born-again also means allowing the spirit of God to possess you eternally, sort of like how you have heard of demons possessing people 24/7. Make sure you are ready for it and be sure that once you are locked, there is no exiting the contract.

MichealOlajide:
■ yes sir

If that is really what you want then as Jesus Christ said, you must be born-again — born of Water and born of Spirit — not according to the religion of men which are lies, but according to that stipulated by Jesus Christ Himself. If you are convinced that He is indeed the one you wish to trust and obey — worship— for the rest of your days, then you should ask the God of Israel for wisdom and understanding that you need to accomplish that which He has set before you. Note that all of your actions have to be in obedience to His actual commandments and teachings otherwise you only end up no better than the religious fools out there.

MichealOlajide:
■ yes this who I wanna serve

As Jesus Christ Himself said, it is only those who have the blood of Jacob in their veins that can worship Him aka trust and obey Him. All others who pretend to do so without this qualification waste their time and lives in vain.

But are you certain that this eternal commitment which may either lead the way to eternal damnation or eternal reward without the guarantee of any immediate reward is what you need in your case?
