I think you wrote you don't believe in the Bible bye bye my God declared to us not to mix with those who despise his ultimate written word

Jesus Christ is the Word of God and He declared that those who are His are those who do as He commands of them, and Jesus Christ never asked anyone to believe in scripture nor in a book called the Bible.

So is your holding to a belief in a book that was never commanded of you by God even of God?

DropsMic:
If you are alive, you are sinning. Don't let anyone deceive you.

Are you also living in disobedience of your parent's as a result of your being alive?

Sin is disobedience of God's commandments - it's definition is not arbitrary but defined. So it is only when you make a choice to disobey God in your heart that you are guilty of sin. Living is not sin against God. What is sin is that choice you make to go against what God has commanded of you.

Most people commit sin out of ignorance - they have no real idea of what God commandments. God said it too in Hosea 4 vs 1 -6 when He declared that His people suffer for lack of knowledge of His commandments.

Many more walk around carrying with them a weight of guilt concluding their very existence is in sure violation of God's Law, this without in fact digging to know the truth.

May this never be our lot for it is hard to enjoy life carrying around all that meaningless weight because of our ignorance of the Truth of God.

You must be made perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect".
Who makes one perfect is a question


Answer
Hebrews 12:23
You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,

The Hebrew word tōm, translated in Job 1:1 as perfect, has a number of different usages. The word, or one of its derivatives, is used in Genesis 17:1 where God told Abraham to “be perfect.” And all Israel was instructed to “be perfect” in verses such as:

“Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God” (Deuteronomy 18:13).

“God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect” (2 Samuel 22:33).

Summary if God declare that you are perfect even though you are a man of sin his word over rides your sin nature

Who makes one perfect? How is one made perfect? ... you become perfect through contnual submission to and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the Truth of God , that is able to set you free from slavery to sin - John 8 vs 31 - 44

How true and often do they practise the aboved narration

I had read and glanced across religious men, and women use the above narration to console the bereaved, victims and the likes

Could recall when I lost my father, narration like that were pouring in and as at then, I was so glad believing we gonna be equipped and protected endlessly by those prayers coming left to right, front to back

Egbon Lalasticlala do justice for wider opinion!

Huh what 'narration'?

Really sad story!

A non-profit needs to make profit?
You sabi be meaning of non?

You live in information age...Google is your friend.

Myth: Nonprofits can’t earn a profit

Reality: The term "nonprofit" is a bit of a misnomer. Nonprofits can make a profit (and should try to have some level of positive revenue to build a reserve fund to ensure sustainability.) The key difference between nonprofits and for-profits is that a nonprofit organization cannot distribute its profits to any private individual (although nonprofits may pay reasonable compensation to those providing services). This prohibition against “private benefit” is because tax-exempt charitable nonprofits are formed to benefit the public, not private interests. For more information, see this IRS guidance. Learn about what charitable nonprofits need to do to maintain their tax-exempt status. https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/myths-about-nonprofits

Oyedepo must make heaven but his ownheaven can't be where Jesus prepared for us. Anyways.......

He is building his own kingdom right here on earth while you all go to him to find a Heaven that is not of this world.

patani:
Its called non profit organization sir...Not a business...If the British who brought Anglican and Methodist etc. who brought missionary to Africa were intested in profit...alot of our parent would not get educated.....

Besides, Jesus said in Matthew 10:8.

“Heal the sick, raise the dead; cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you* have received, freely.

Have personal relationship with God beyond what a pastor preach to you sir.....

A nonprofit organization is a business too. It needs to make profit(either through tithes and Offerings, as well as other means) if it wants to continue operating and growing too, just like any other business does, only its tax-exempt status helps it better compete with other businesses which depend primarily on profit.

One day, your foolishness will fade away and you will start know wisdom.
I'll repeat what I said.
We have to stop letting the devil cheat us by putting science first
If you need explanation, ask.
Funny thing is you aren't in the medical profession and you are talking as if you've seen it all.
Its likely you are one of the conceited young ones who think you've seen it all.

Interesting claim you make there of science.

I am immediately reminded of the story of the issue of blood who for the 12 years prior to meeting up with Jesus Christ, spent all she had paying Physicians for treatment.
The thing is, when Jesus Christ showed up, He never scolded her for seeking the help of physicians for the 12 years prior to their meeting, nor did He declare that her use of science had somehow diminished her person or chances at being healed by God. No, instead Jesus Christ commended her,the woman, for her faith, something not everyone He met that day and even throughout His time on earth got the opportunity to hear Him say of them.

Stop looking for the devil in all the wrong places. Jesus Christ told you that you should look inside of you for the one who you seek. He is not in science and technology or Jesus Christ would not have declared of Himself that He came as a physician to those who are sick.

delexyl:
Hello madam, I could imagine the trauma you are passing through. If you wouldn't mind trying to get spiritual guidance and solution as this is not a medical condition. I already @ you in the comment section. My personal pastor and prophet will in the name of The Lord God deliver your brothers and terminate that curse and affliction. If you want me to send you the number to call all you have to do is ask me. This has nothing to do with your money. Try God.

Where does your personal pastor & prophet live please.

MaxInDHouse:
When Jesus returned to heaven God's Holy Spirit was dispensed on his faithful followers, this spirit works out two specific purposes:

GIFT: The gift of God's Holy Spirit is the power to heal, see visions, dream dreams, speak in tongues and other wonderful things. Apostle Paul declared that this will later seize in the midst of Christians {1Corinthians 13:8-10} because it's just a sign that God promised Israelites will experience after the coming of Christ. So even if they failed to IDENTIFY the Christ during his life time the gift displayed amongst his followers will make the Israelites realize that the promised Messiah has come and gone! Act 2:16-42

FRUIT: The fruit of God's Holy Spirit is the ability to reflect God's attributes. Of course imperfect humans can't perfectly reflect God's Holy Spirit due to our sinful condition. But to prove that God's Holy Spirit is working in the midst of imperfect (sinful) humans, intelligent observers will notice the attributes of God's Holy Spirit permeating the gathering of God's people despite their imperfect nature. Galatians 5:22-23

So while the GIFT of God's Holy Spirit is the sign God promised the nation of Israel for them to know that Christ has come and to identify those who believe in him, the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit will serve as sign for all other nations when Jesus' followers begin to operate in other lands.

You will notice a group that is able to fetch members from all the nations of the world and turned them away from violent lifestyles. They will settle all racial disputes causing wars in their own midst, they will not enroll for military services, they will render all weapons of war useless and they will vow never to raise weapons against their fellowman! Micah 4:1-3

But when you're seeing this sign globally Satan will also bring his own deception to create confusion. That's the time you'll see religionsts claiming Christians and saying they can perform miracles than Jesus (after all he said those who believe in him shall do GREATER works) but they will only pay attention to GIFTS they will ignore the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit.
That's why Jesus emphatically said "it's by the FRUIT not gifts that people worldwide will recognize his true disciples" Matthew 7:16-18

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

UNBELIEVABLE! UNIMAGINABLE!! TESTIMONY !!! God gave her a brand new womb after her womb was cut off during surgery

Watch the video below

https://youtu.be/

I want to rejoice with her too. Can we get confirmation that her womb was indeed cut off during surgery , at least from the hospital that did this to her?

In the Bible, we read of the man who was born blind. The Pharisees called even His parents to verify that indeed the man was born blind and even after that, the man's miracle was not rolled back by God in anger of the miracle being verified. So, there is nothing wrong with having verification of claims made. God Almigty is not against us providing proof of the claims we make... so this ought not to be a problem.

Emusan:
@color you always try to prove that you know the scripture, whereas you're just lying up and down.

Reading Ezekiel 36 down to 37 it's boldly written that the Spirit God is talking about is HIS SPIRIT yet you're lying openly here that God never said that it His spirit.

Who should we believe you or the scripture?

"And I will put MY SPIRIT within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Ezekiel 36:37

Or, this was not part of the scripture?

Yet again, you jump in without taking time to properly read and understand the meaning behind what is written and what is being said.

Ofcourse we should always believe what is written of God (the very Words out of God's own mouth) in Scripture and in Ezekial 36, God clearly speaks of 2 different spirits.... a new spirit, and then His own Spirit.

Ezekiel 36 vs 26 - 27

---

26 I will give you a new heart(AX) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone(AY) and give you a heart of flesh.(AZ)

27 And I will put my Spirit(BA) in you and move you to follow my decrees(BB) and be careful to keep my laws.(BC)

This is not rocket science for Pete's sake!

The same happens in the Gospels where Jesus Christ first speaks of the requirement of entering into the Kingdom of God -seek the Kingdom of God.

And then later of get another Helper, the Spirt of God, who He proclaims belongs only to those who continue to submit to and obey the commandments and teachings of Jesus Christ - seek God's righteousness - written of in John 14/15 and 16

Very soon they will be receiving holy communion.. Confused religion

Jesus Christ send you go decorate tree for Him?

paxonel:
explain yourself
true!
But that's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is, at what time was the salvation established?
It was established at the point of resurrection of Christ.

Salvation may be preached even before time, but it doesn't mean that the salvation was there at the time of the initial preaching by John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.
You will understand this when you start reading the book of Matthew from the beginning to the end where Christ was crucified.

Point of correction: Both were required then, before Christ resurrection, not both are required till now.

That is the mistake you people keep making, you don't consider time when you read your bible

Matthew 11:11 ...notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he(referring to John the baptist)

Meaning, a believer living at the time after the resurrection of Christ is greater than John the baptist who lived before the resurrection of Christ.

1. Just like the Old Covenant, the New Covenant was indeed ratified after it was completed/finished, and this just before the death of Jesus Christ and then His resurrection. So, while it does matter that Death was defeated upon His resurrection from the grave, the key is , all that took place was all a part of the New Covenant.

2. Christ's resurrection did not change any part of the New Covenant which He established as completed from before His death. This death wasn't a mistake and His resurrection was part and parcel of the plan. So I fail to see how that was planned somehow changes that which was previously stated as part of the same plan.

3. John the Baptist was the greatest of the Old Covenant Prophets. He, John, was made righteous by the Old Covenant and so was not one of those who Jesus Christ came for. He was not a New Covenant Prophet at all and so was not meant for the Kingdom of God even though He preached of it's coming.

We, who are of the New Covenant, those of us meant for the Kingdom of God, have a promise better in all wise than those of the Old Covenant People since we are called not as People of God but as Sons of God .I.e. even the least among the sons of the king is greater than the greatest among the kings people.

The question again is....

Kobojunkiee:
Start by teling us exactly where it is that Jesus Christ made it clear that all miracles would cease?

The two passages you continue to post, say nothing of the sort. Even a grade school kid just learning to read would tell you, with confidence mind you, the very same.
So please find and post verses were the one who gave HIs followers the authority, the New Covenant Himself, declared that these miraculous works will end and it would be nice to also learn when it ended too.

"And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it."
Luke 4:5-6, KJV

2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

I see! So am I to gather that you believe from your first reference, that because the devil made the claim, it is true?

Your second reference also leaves me with questions given that there is really no record of God, the creator, handing the world He created over to Satan. I mean some assume God handed over the same world to man but there is also no record of that ever happening. But I am open to being convinced... when exactly did this exchange- God's power over the world ceasing, and Satan became the god of the world - claimed in 2 Corinthians 4 vs 4 take place?

Polyandry and polygamy emerged as some of controversial topics during the ministerial dialogues.

Traditional leaders were among those who objected to polyandry and labelled it an “unacceptable practice because it is not of African origin”, revealed the document.

“Ironically, stakeholders who believed in the practice of polygamy … were opposed to the practice of polyandry,” commented the department.

Not African in origin or simply against the selfish desires of those males, even the polygamists among them?

Aren't women African in origin? And shouldn't they also have the same right to marry more than one spouse as the menfolk? Abi no be the same God make them? See yeye reason!

SA women could in the near future be allowed to marry more than one man
By Bongani Nkosi
published May 7, 2021


Johannesburg - The country’s marriage laws could in the near future allow women to marry more than one husband, just as polygamous men can have many wives.

Legalisation of polyandry is one of the wide-ranging proposals in the Green Paper on Marriages.

The Department of Home Affairs published the landmark 67-page policy document this week.

The department stressed in the document that it sought to create a new Marriage Act that will allow all in the country to conclude recognised, legal marriages.

A range of types of marriages in the country were not recognised; and on the other hand, marriage legislation was deemed to not promote equality.

Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Rastafarian marriages were not recognised by South African law. The green paper introduces proposals for their recognition.

“The failure to recognise these religious marriages is untenable and discriminatory,” said the document.

Home Affairs hosted ministerial dialogues in 2019 and 2020 before producing the green paper.
Minister Aaron Motsoaledi and officials heard from stakeholders, including traditional leaders, religious leaders, academics and LGBT and gender activists.

“Moreover, activists submitted that equality demands that polyandry be legally recognised as a form of marriage,” said the document.

The green paper proposed three new marriage regimes that it maintained could bring about equality in marriage laws.

Option one was an “inclusive customary and religious marriage regime”. This would see the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act amended to cater for all marriages irrespective of race, cultural and religious persuasions.

Option two would be a religion and culture-neutral marriage regime.

The third option would be a gender-neutral marriage regime. “This would accommodate both polygyny and polyandry,” said the document.

“The difference between options 2 and 3 is that this option is gender neutral. Therefore all marriages, whether monogamous or polygamous, could be concluded regardless of the sex or sexual orientation of the person.”

Home Affairs appeared to favour the third option, saying it promoted equality.

“The political appetite of the country to confront the challenges of the current marriage statute will be tested through these options. However, if Section 9 of the Constitution was to be implemented in its entirety, option 3 will tick all the boxes,” it said in the green paper.

Polyandry and polygamy emerged as some of controversial topics during the ministerial dialogues.

Traditional leaders were among those who objected to polyandry and labelled it an “unacceptable practice because it is not of African origin”, revealed the document.

“Ironically, stakeholders who believed in the practice of polygamy … were opposed to the practice of polyandry,” commented the department.

Worship

Honor, reverence, homage, in thought, feeling, or act, paid to men, angels, or other "spiritual" beings, and figuratively to other entities, ideas, powers or qualities, but specifically and supremely to Deity.

So where do you find this idea that Satan is the God of this world from?

kmcutez:
Depends on the Hebrew word the “world” comes from or your definition of world. Eg My world, Your world, Material world, Spiritual world, Sea world, Whole world etc.

The greek word "kosmon" used in John 3 vs 16, as well as in 45 other places in the New Testament seems to refer to the entire world as typically used.

https://biblehub.com/greek/kosmon_2889.htm

What this suggests is that the reference in John 3 vs 16, does not point only to those of the "lost sheep of Israel " but to the world consisting of both jews and gentiles.

kmcutez:
Ok.

Here's a question for you on what you have said so far...

If the word "world" refers to the lost sheep of israel, by your understanding, where do you get your claim , "Satan is the god of this world" from?

Through careful examination of the Word of God, it becomes clear that "worship" where God is concerned, has to do with submission and obedience to the commandments of God. So, when you say Satan is worshiped as God, do you imply that people obey Satan .i.e. live in disobedience of God, or what exactly?

Also, you suggest that Pastors and Preachers are suspect... in the "world" or in worship of satan as God?

kmcutez:
I watched a few minutes of this. I think he clarified some points.

I honestly hate watching videos made by strangers j cannot directly respond to. So, if you ever get the time to put your points together, maybe then I can clearly understand what it is you are saying and be able to best respond then.

If one is poor he is a potential criminal, cause someone that does not wear good cloths, good shelter, or has enough capital to feed his family u expect him to be righteous? Lol na so so evil thing go dey enter is heart. If you are poor your chances of commiting big sin is higher than those that are poor. The chances of a poor going to hell is higher than the rich causes they will keep commuting crimes, A rich man will have just 3 kids but a poor man that leave in a room will have 13 children.
Rich men save more buh a poor man will finished is money within days. If a rich man have 50k he will want to invest it to triple the amount but give a poor man 50k ashawo quarter, baba ijebu, ogogoro. In summary poverty is a sin. If u poor your chances of making heaven in Nigeria is slim cause your mind is polluted

Stop wearing your brain backwards abeg!

kmcutez:
Lol. That is why I said Africans won’t understand. Even Jesus spoke in parables. That is what I just did.

My being lost has absolutely nothing to do with any of what you claim above.

By the way, parables are simply stories with embedded contextual meanings to them. They are not mysteries/secrets that can never be understood by even a lay mind.

That said, you made claims but not provided details to sufficiently back up the claims. I am not a mind reader so it is quite reasonable of me to expect that you would provide sufficient detail to help me understand what direction you are headed in, before I even jump in.

kmcutez:
A true Jesus and a fake one in the Bible? The rabbit hole is deep. That is why I said I can’t go into it. I don’t have the energy. Satan inserted himself in the religion Christianity to be worshipped like God. Satan is the God of this world. Your pastors are suspects.

I am afraid I don't follow... a true Jesus and a fake one in the Bible?

Hosea 13:3
