■ To each their own

By the way, Jesus Christ, the one whom Christians pretend they believe in did not say that it is by avoiding sex that you are holy. Rather, what He said is that it is by avoiding sexually lustful thoughts that you avoid sinning sexually against God. Sexual immorality, according to Jesus Christ, is a sin committed in the mind - Matthew 5 vs 27-28.

So, if you are only doing what even the Buddhists have been able to accomplish through self-discipline and self-control, you myth as well be doing nothing at all.

■ WHAT..!! i think you need to read 1john1:9 there is a statement noted there. THEN come back lets TALK. THAT WORD PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNES is where i'm mostly interested in,

First of all, carefully examine the message of the passage of 1 John 1 to realize that John was speaking to those he perceived were outsiders —those whom he wanted to fellowship with us - 1 John 1 vs 3a -, and John spoke to them about those who were the insiders — those who share fellowship together with God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ - 1 John 1 vs 3a.

1. We want to tell you about the Word that gives life—the one who existed before the world began. This is the one we have heard and have seen with our own eyes. We saw what he did, and our hands touched him.
2 [/b]Yes, the one who is life was shown to us. We saw him, and so we can tell others about him. [b]We now tell you about him. He is the eternal life that was with God the Father and was shown to us.
3 We are telling you about what we have seen and heard because we want you to have fellowship with us. The fellowship we share together is with God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ.
4 We write these things to you so that you can be full of joy with us. - 1 John 1 vs 1-4

Who are those who fellowship with both the Father and The Son? Jesus Christ in John 14 vs 15 -23 said they are those who will have the Second Helper — the Holy Spirit aka those who are no longer slaves to sin — they are Holy and are led by the Spirit of Truth who is, in fact, the Holy Spirit of the New Covenant. This means that if those who are not living their life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ —set free from slavery to sin by knowing the Truth of God— you are still of the world and you are not one of those John referred to as the We in the first chapter of his epistle.

15 “If you love me, you will do what I command.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever.
17 The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The people of the world cannot accept him, because they don’t see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you all alone like orphans. I will come back to you.
19 In a very short time the people in the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. You will live because I live.
20 On that day you will know that I am in the Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you.
21 Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.”
22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how will you make yourself known to us, but not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered, “All who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. My Father and I will come to them and live with them.
24 But anyone who does not love me does not obey my teaching. This teaching that you hear is not really mine. It is from my Father who sent me. - John 14 vs 15-24

Above is a bit of what Jesus Christ made clear about those who fellowship with the Father and with Him, in addition to what He relayed in the context of John 8 vs 31 - 44.

Nebes:
■ As long as Kobojunkiee is a believer I am okay.
I pray you join the ranks of those preaching the true gospel.

Stop preaching that which is not the Gospel all while using the name of Jesus Christ.

Nebes:
■ The verse makes it clear that NOW we are already children of God. The joyful aspect remains that we will be like Christ. Ignore me and focus on Jesus.

Rather what the verse makes clear is that John was speaking particularly to those who had attained Sonship in Jesus Christ — not everyone who claims to believe in Jesus Christ can also claim to be of the children of God. After all, Jesus Christ made clear that some of those who pretend to be of God are in fact children of the devil - John 8 vs 31 - 44. What that verse does not speak to is the claim that you made earlier about not having a knowing of the person of Jesus Christ until after death... that runs counter to that spoken by Jesus Christ Himself who said that inside of those who belong to Him, He and the Father will make their homes inside of - John 14 vs 15-23. Is it possible for the Almighty to live inside of one and the one does not have a knowing of this?

Nebes:
■ Focus on The Christ. Feel free to ignore whatever you don't agree with.

The same way Jesus Christ didn't ignore the hogwash spewed by the Pharisees using the name of God, I too cannot simply ignore the lies spewed in the name of Jesus Christ.

Bestbrain123:
■ You quoted well.! But still miss my question why are some christians after baptizm still go back to there old life and claim fellowship with God. why..

Repentance in and of its own does not guarantee nor grant forgiveness of sins. Rather, what it does is open the gate for you into the Kingdom of God — born again. Once inside the Kingdom of God, you have the choice of following the path towards forgiveness of sins— which is through continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ — by obedience, or the path that leads the other way of rejection. Forgiveness is not automatic as Jesus Christ explained in John 8 vs 31 - 38 and throughout His Gospel. Forgiveness requires continuous submission and obedience, the living of one's life in subjection to His teachings and commandments, and not everyone who is born-again will choose to do that.

So, again, to be born-again does not mean you are freed of your sins. No, it simply means you have been granted access into the Kingdom of God, exactly what Jesus Christ explained carefully to all in John 3 vs 1-21.

Now, let me be straight about something else. Majority of your Christians who claim to be baptized in water are not at all born-again. The majority of your pastors and mogs are also not born-again either. This is either because many of them do not meet the base criteria— you have to be of the blood of Jacob, to begin with— or did not do what John the Baptist explained and Jesus Christ commanded.

As I explained earlier, Repentance opens a gate into the Kingdom of God, and the gate does not simply open to anyone or for anyone. And no amount of your repentance rituals/prayers that are contrary to that commanded will cause the gates into the Kingdom of God to open to anyone. It only opens to those who do what John the Baptist and Jesus Christ said.

■ North is still safer than most parts of this Country. Mention one part of Nigeria that is totally safe. I dey enter North dey come back regularly.

I no wan debate that one with anyone abeg! All I know is I am comfortable obtaining the ingredients from amazon instead.

Fast forward to the present he found out about what went down with the pregnancy of last year and remember i told him i was at my frnds while i was at my exs, i’m about to lose the man of my dreams because of what happened, i think he will never get to trust me again. He doesn’t even believe the child was his, and i never for one day thought that i’ll come this far with him, please fam what will you advise I should do in this situation

The cat is out of the bag. You own up to what you did and accept whatever consequences come your way I guess.

Nebes:
■ Christ alone is the truth. Everything else is a lie.

If indeed you believe Jesus Christ to be the Truth then what part has the lies in our OP to do with HIm?

Nebes:
■ Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2)

Explain to me how you came to conclude that the "what we will be has not yet been made known" which John wrote of there is a direct reference to the knowing of Jesus Christ.

Nebes:
■With all Apostle Paul's exploits he was still praying to know Christ (Philippians 3:10).
Till we see Him we will never know Him fully.
Even in our misconceptions and misunderstandings, we'll keep seeking Him on this side of God's kingdom

Your misconception of Paul's opinion aside, If you do not know Him— Jesus Christ— before you leave this world, does that mean you have no assurance of where you stand with Him or what?

Nebes:
■ I am happy seeing you advocating for Christ and holiness. Well done!!!

My issue is with the lies in your OP which purport to be of Jesus Christ when they are not.

■ Good day Nairafolks, I noticed my female cousin though she is around 18 now she still behaves and reasons like 14 year olds.
Not like really 14 year old she's mature and all physically but her behavior ( not all behavior though) most of her behavior she can play with little children and all, each time I call her to notice that don't you know you are older than all this she would just frown at me, she can cook do all the rest and everything, her hand shakes also sometimes when she's frightened. What could be the cause and remedy for it?

Please leave her alone and stop bothering her. Let her enjoy her childhood for as long as she can. She is not immature. She is still a child at heart and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Stop monitoring her and keep your sense of maturity to your own self.

Bestbrain123:
■If you look at this verse closely there is one word Jesus mention which i still find it hard to reason "REPENTANCE FOR FORGIVNESS OF SIN"
■ Jesus also demand that all nations should repent.
■ Now this brings me to my question..if repentance is only for the forgivness of our sins, why must a person be born of water and of spirit to be accepted as a real sons and daughters of the kingdom, when repentance could have done that alone.
■ i have seen some christians who after the baptizm still go back to there old sin. now i'm asking what is the use of this doctrined process of meeting God, then after all the holy ritual process some fall back again?.

The same news of Repentance onto the forgiveness of Sin which John the Baptist Heralded - Matthew 3 vs 7 -11 & Luke 3 vs 7 -18 & Mark 1 vs 1 - 8.

40 After Jesus told them this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 The followers were amazed and very, very happy to see that Jesus was alive. They still could not believe what they saw. He said to them, “Do you have any food here?”
42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish.
43 While the followers watched, he took the fish and ate it.
44 Jesus said to them, “Remember when I was with you before? I said that everything written about me must happen—everything written in the Law of Moses, the books of the prophets, and the Psalms.”
45 Then Jesus helped the followers understand these Scriptures about him.
46 Jesus said to them, “It is written that the Messiah would be killed and rise from death on the third day.
47-48 You saw these things happen—you are witnesses. You must go and tell people that they must change and turn to God, which will bring them his forgiveness. You must start from Jerusalem and tell this message in my name to the people of all nations.
49 Remember that I will send you the one my Father promised. Stay in the city until you are given that power from heaven.” - Luke 24 vs 40 - 49

2. God foretold of the destruction of the enemy Nations in Deuteronomy 28 vs 49 - 68. Jesus Christ's warning was to all the Nations that God had prepared His judgment for, the enemies of His Isreal(and Judah) which were all destroyed during the last days of God's judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah) — Deuteronomy 28 vs 15 - 48 —that took place 1900 years ago.

3. A better place to start is by asking what Repentance is according to John the Baptist, and Jesus Christ — and not according to your pastors and mogs who are liars in this? In Matthew 3 vs 7 -11 & Luke 3 vs 7 -18 & Mark 1 vs 1 - 8, John the Baptist explained that the Repentance he was sent by God to tell the people of involved an abandonment of the following of the Old Way(The former fountain of Living Water) to adopt instead the New Way (and Fountain of Living Water). John informed people that in order to achieve repentance they had to change their hearts and show by the way they lived that they had changed - Matthew 3 vs 8— a formal transition from thinking according to the Old Law to thinking according to the New Law was required. John then said that He could only baptize people in water but Jesus Christ would baptize them by the Holy Spirit. (John was an Old Covenant Prophet and the Holy Spirit of the Old Law/Way is the Spirit of Eternal Life — He is not the Holy Spirit of the New Way However.)

Just as John had said, Jesus Chris showed up and announced that in addition to being baptized by water — born of Water aka the Fountain of Living Water— He too would baptize all those who would choose to repent from following the Old Law to following the New Way by causing them to be born of the Spirt of Eternal Life aka the Holy Spirit of the Old Way - John 3 vs 1 - 21 - in a process which He referred to as being born-again— born of Water and born of Spirit(of Eternal Life).

Now, one thing that pops out to anyone paying attention is that John never mentions that His baptism absolves the sins of any man in the entire context of Matthew 3 vs 7 -11 & Luke 3 vs 7 -18 & Mark 1 vs 1 - 8. Neither did Jesus Christ state that to be born-again means to be forgiven of one's sins. That idea that repentance alone absolves one of his sins is not of Scripture but of the imaginations of men. Forgiveness of sins, rather comes from the living of one's born-again life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, as revealed by Jesus Christ Himself in John 8 vs 31 - 36, a process through which one by knowing of the Truth of God(The Holy Spirit of the New Covenant), one is eventually set free from slavery to sin by the Truth of God.

4. As I have explained, religious doctrines and traditions have nothing to do with the Truth of God as expressed in Scripture.

Missyajoke:
Praise God somebody, I'm Judith and I'll like to preach on the topic God answers prayer. Stay blessed .
Prayer is giving our attention to God in a two-way spiritual relationship where we talk to God and also listen to Him. Prayer is like a child's conversation with their father. It is natural for a child to ask his father for the things they need, or to ask for advice or guidance. Matthew 7:7 says Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. If you need something and you don't tell your parents they'll never know you need something so the same thing applies to God and God always want us to ask him for help and assistance in everything we need or hope to achieve. Isiah 38 verse 1:5 says In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. The Bible verse showed us the great and mighty power of God and God is merciful and takes pity on his creation. So just go on your knees right noww and thank God for everything he has done for you after which you can proceed to start telling God what you want him to do for you as believe me God answers prayers. You can just say Jesus I need your help and you'll mention what you want him to assist you with and end up your prayers with in Jesus name I've prayed Amen. God bless you all and have a pleasant day.

Hezekiah was a righteous man and king at the time God answered His prayers. David whom you compare yourselves to was equally a righteous man. (David was chosen as a righteous man from his youth — a man after God's own heart— to become King by God.) Jesus Christ whose words you quote equally said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and God's righteousness so that all these things shall be added onto you." No unrighteous man can receive answers to prayers from God. That is what God said. God does not change His mind, nor does His Law lie.

TradingGod:
adding scriptural backing to you prayers helps too. For example if you need a financial or health breathrough, (3John 1:2) is a good scriptural backing you can use to plead your case before God Almighty

Using scripture as a talisman, you religious folks are quite a funny bunch!

world123:
■ Alright, I get your point. May be I did not use the right words. I want to believe that some people are in jail for an offence they never committed. They fight for their destinies by geting lawyers.
■ Do you know the story of Elisha, when he caused some children who mocked him and the children died (2 Kings: 23-24). And you don't think such powers still exist that can change ones fate?
■ Stephen was captured. There is no where it was recorded that prayers was made for him. He died.
■ Peter was captured. And prayers was made fervently and the angel of the Lord's came and set him free (Act 12:5-17). Do you still think ones fate can't be changed through prayers?
■ When Satan and his angels left heaven, there is no where it was recorded that their powers were collected. Satan is spirit and works through humans (Act 16:16-18)
■ Even God is a spirit and he is looking for human body to possess. He said we should make our body a living sacrifice to him (Romans 12:1). The eyes God walking to and fro the earth, searching for people to manifest himself (2 Chronicles 16: 9)
■ Apostle Paul said it is no longer I that lives, but Christ who lives in me. (Galatians 2:20)
■ God is a spirit and manifests his might through humans. (Read the story of Moses, Gideon, Elijah, Elisha and Apostles of old).
■ In as much as Prophets can bless and it stands. Evil people can curse as well and it stands (Job 5:21). The victims can be spotted only through spirit of God that lives in a holy person. The witches can spotted as well. But only through the spirit of God. Not everyone is meant to see or identify them. (Matthew 13:16-17)

Fighting against injustice amounts to fighting for one's destiny, huh? Which kain illusive idea called destiny una dey speak of abeg?

2. Elisha is written to have cursed some kids and it never occurred to you that they may have died because of their ridiculing of God who sent Elijah on the errand rather than of Elisha himself. More importantly, what has this story to do with this tale called destiny abeg?

3. Stephen was captured by whom? Rather, the story states that Stephen was stoned to death. More importantly, what has this story to do with this tale called destiny abeg?

4. Did the Angel that came to set Peter free from jail specifically state that the reason He was sent by God was because the people prayed fervently for him, Peter, to be released? More importantly, what has this story to do with this tale called destiny abeg?

5. Satan and his angels never left Heaven so, let's not even proceed any further down that path!

6. I am sorry, what? So, if God is seeking those who will be holy to Him it means God is looking to change their destinies? Are you for real?

7. So, when the same Paul reiterated that each man will be judged by God according to his deeds, Paul was referring to the Jesus Christ inside him being judged by Jesus Christ? Are you for real?

8. So, outside of humans, God is a limp being? And when God punishes those whom He supposedly manifests through— according to you— God is in fact punishing Himself?

9. So, God knows who is whom, and only His Spirit can speak this Truth, and this connects to this notion of destiny how?

FRANKOSKI:
■ I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER RELIGIONS BUT CHRISTIANITY

You mean the religion of your pastors and mogs, many of whom are themselves unable to practice what they preach to you?

Buddhists are rather world known for their practice of sexual abstinence and so you making a general statement as the one you made leads one to assume you speak of them instead.

lightblazingnow:
Scriptural prayers and fasting will bring these qualities
The book of Isaiah 58
6. *The kind of fasting I want is this: Remove the chains of oppression and the yoke of injustice, and let the oppressed go free.
7. Share your food with the hungry and open your homes to the homeless poor. Give clothes to those who have nothing to wear, and do not refuse to help your own relatives.
8. *Then my favor will shine on you like the morning sun, and your wounds will be quickly healed. I will always be with you to save you; my presence will protect you on every side.
9. When you pray, I will answer you. When you call to me, I will respond. *If you put an end to oppression, to every gesture of contempt, and to every evil word;
10. if you give food to the hungry and satisfy those who are in need, then the darkness around you will turn to the brightness of noon.
11. And I will always guide you and satisfy you with good things. I will keep you strong and well. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water, like a spring of water that never goes dry.

The key takeaway from this is that God never asked anyone to starve themselves of food for His sake. Rather, He urged His followers to do works of good to others rather than engage in meaningless starvation diets,— do good works— and only then will He answer their prayers.

Now course, if you do "good" works like the Pharisees do — cloaked in their sins and religion — you might as well be engaging in starvation diets for all you want because God did say that your righteousness aka "good" works has to exceed that of the Pharisees if you are to expect anything from Him.

Dey there! Look around you, every other person is like you there in Nigeria that is why crime goes largely unreported and the country remains the cesspit it is today. It isn't that the police are not even working at all but that like you, most would rather regale others with their silly tales rather than step up to engage the law and see to it that the menace is dealt with and removed.

■ POWERS OF GOD / UNLIMITED
GRACE
JEHOVAH HOSEENU
This name of God means "the Lord our
maker"Psalms 95:6.
This is beside the power of God to
create all things as before seen. It is
the power of God that brought us men
and the body of Christ to existence.
This power therefore gives us our
assignment and heritage in our days
because everything that God makes has
a function. This power of God is
therefore our moulder. It is the power
of God that, like a clay vessel, fashions
us according to our purpose, for He has
appointed some to His glory. Seasons of
moulding are not always easy, but this
power of God enables us to overcome
and move to greater glory.
JEHOVAH ELOHEEKA
The Lord thy God(Exodus 20:2,5,7).
Unlike "the lord our God" that
recognises the Lordship of God over an
entire generation, "The Lord thy God"
personilizes the same God to an
individual. Here is God telling His child
that he will not only protect him/her
as part of a group, but has the same
responsibility to the same child
individually. This is who God is to all
that believe in Him. This power of God
deals with people as individuals
regardless of the surrounding or
general expectations of a season.
JEHOVAH ELYON
Meaning the "Lord most high" Gen
14:18.
The Lord sits most high over many
other lords, and there are many Lords
in the spiritual high places. This is the
power of God over all these other
lords. It is the power we invoke to
break us out of bondages because in
His time he decrees our breakthrough.
It is bacause of The lords position over
all other overloading powers that we
invoke his name in our declarations in
their time. It is the same power that
subjects all powers, principalities and
rulers of this age to Christ and gives
them to His children as a heritage.
There is no spiritual principality at par
with or above God. There is also no
other power that can overun His. This is
the confidence we have in God.
JEHOVAH ADONAI
Our sovereign Lord(Gen 15:2-.
This powerful name acknowledges the
Kingship of God and the overall power
His Kingdom has over the principalities
of the earth, and over the ruling
principalities of all ages. This is not a
synonym. It is a literal statement. God
is a King, a great one, and He works as
such. This is regardless of the form of
leadership that exists on earth which
of course is far from autocratic rule.
It however does not change the fact
about the overal reign of God as an
everlasting monarch. One fact about a
king is the ability to decree, judge, and
do what ever He wishes. We have the
same kingdom as an inheritance
together with Christ right after the
end of this age(Daniel 7:27).
JEHOVAH SABAOTH
This name means the Lord of hosts(1
Samuel 1:3).

These doctrines are fantastical tales fed you by your gods of men, and had no connection with that declared in Scripture at all. The power in the name of God comes with obedience of His Law. Outside of that, you who claim to believe are no different from those who do not know God at all.

martinseme:
■ To the glory of the most high God my lord and saviour Jesus christ, a few years back i was pulled out of the life's wide path of sin and i became a converted born again.At the time i became converted from a lifestyle of fornication, drugs ,brawls ,occultic practices etc i was living hopelessly in anticipation of a horible self afflicted end(suicide). God looked at my direction with love on that night.
when i had doused myself with so much iniquity of drug, alcohol and sex. I went home and slept off and was awoken at mid night by an undescribable feeling of remorse towards my God for having being a deviant to his commandments, i repented with so much tears and for days i lost used of my cognition senses, it persisted until just like saint Paul i was prayed for by a ministering servant of God and ever since then my life hasnt remained the same again as am now a petit evangelist working for the salvation of souls.
The rapture is foretold in the scripture and i have heard so much preachings about it imminent occurence soon. On that fateful night i prayed and slept of and dreamt where i saw myself in a church building and service was going on with a pastor preaching, and i went into a room at back of the church to to pee and when i came back into the church i saw that every one had gone, i went to the exit door and discovered the door was locked, forcing the door open i went outside and gazing at the sky i saw some magnificient huge horses, something told me the rapture was taking place. i cant say if i made it or not. i woke up from the dream wishing i had had i dream where i flew in the sky.
As a man of thirty one who had come of age to marry, i am finding it difficult to now start a relationship with a lady because am trying hard to avoid falling for the sin of lust, as someone who had been thoroughly sexual active before becoming born again, i cant be with a woman for a while without having thought of intimacy, so to avoid it all i keep women far off.BUt now i need a wife to start a family and this need made me to start looking out for women and the lust came back once again. some weeks back i went for fellowship and a prophecy came from God for me through the ministering pastor, the pastor said the devil had through the marine spirits sent an agent with whom am to engage in sex and once that happens an accident has been arranged for me to die.
I thanked God for that revelation to save to my life, as someone who has some level of knowledge about the spiritual realm and how the spirit of lust can posses a man to make him powerless to commit sin, i decided once again to keep away from women. i then went into prayer asking God to reveal to me in a dream if am to get married soon or to forget it and wait for rapture. on the second day of saying this prayer in this very month of september 2013, i went to sleep that night and saw myself in dream where far ahead of me i saw the sky turn red and flames consuming the whole buildings and its habitants. i saw myself at another location and the same things happened, i and some people with me were in fear thinking we would all die as well but it didnt happen to us,the earth and majority of people on it had died, what a devastating terrible experience to behold.i woke up from that dream shaken and in fear. my mind tells me that that dream is the answer to my prayer to God...i should wait for the rapture.

These dreams have no bearing with the Truth of God as declared by the Prophets and confirmed by Jesus Christ.

5solas:
The world hates this doctrine, as it hates that of Justification By Faith, Without Works.

You should worry less about the world that you are actually a part of since you cling to the doctrines and traditions of men instead of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

5solas:
The Reformers "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law" (Romans 3:28). Martin Luther dealt the symbolic blow that began the Reformation when he nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church. That document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials.
But Luther himself saw the Reformation as something far more important than a revolt against ecclesiastical abuses. He believed it was a fight for the gospel. Luther even stated that he would have happily yielded every point of dispute to the Pope, if only the Pope had affirmed the gospel.
And at the heart of the gospel, in Luther's estimation, was the doctrine of justification by faith—the teaching that Christ's own righteousness is imputed to those who believe, and on that ground alone, they are accepted by God.
That doctrine, often called the Material Principle of the Reformation, is what the apostle Paul taught as well: "To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Rom. 4:5).

So, this one here spreads Luther's agenda in place of that put forth by Jesus Christ Himself? Yikes!

Tetraozonaitera:
...

Again, none of your so-called trials that you described have to do with what Jesus Christ said His own would have to endure.

□ Hunger, famine, etc. are not part of the trials Jesus Christ said His own would suffer. Read Matthew 6 vs 25-34 as many times as you have to in order to realize this for yourself.
□ Lack isn't one of the trials Jesus Christ said His followers would suffer. Again, read Matthew 6 vs 25-34 as many times as you have to in order to realize this for yourself.
□ Your frustration over your work and earnings has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Read John 6 vs 25-35 as many times as necessary in order to realize that you are not even meant to keep a day job if you are to be a follower of Jesus Christ in the first place.
□ The superficial joy you claim to have through these trials which have nothing to do with Jesus Christ are clearly of your imagination there.

I am afraid your Christian lifestyle has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ as it is instead according to the prescription of your many gods of men. That is why it is hard to live and you keep ending up frustrated managing worldly needs.

I love your post op. People are clearly ignorant of spiritual forces. Somethings can be explained as natural. But there are more to them. There are witches and wizards. There are deities of family, communities and places that keep people under for a long time.If your forefathers have worshipped a deity before, that deity will demand continuous worship and will do anything to call back attention. The God of isreal was like that towards the isrealite. He frustrated them and caused them to go into slavery all because the people rejected him. This jealousy is not peculiar to God. Other deities are like that. Witches are never for anyone Good. If you have one in your family, it's serious trouble. A word is enough for the wise

This is how you know folks who have absolutely no clue of what they are talking about. The God of Israel never re-wrote the destinies of any man. To the people of Israel, He was a King who condemned those of His people who disobeyed His Law. He never rewrote destinies or anything. He cursed those who rejected Him from among His people and blessed those who obeyed Him. There was no rewriting of destinies going on with Him since He rewarded each man according to the works of His hands.

■ @ the bolded The lifestyle of your Father the Devil is obvious in the way you attack people upandan christians threads. We are not frustrated having trials. The mental illness you battle with wouldn't allow you to know trials are part of life. We choose to go through trials and we are not frustrated rather we go through such with joy. Because such are temporary . That's why I could laugh at the situation. (Go back to my initial thread to see the laughing emoji). We don't cut Conners by getting involved in evil acts. Stop taking substances that you take so you can stop attacking people like mental patients at Aro. And mind you, don't mess around with me because I don't take it lightly with sick people like you.
