Napata77:You don't? ![]() So what was that about invalidating access to the "Divine" about? And why then do you pretend to lobby against the barbaric religions on behalf of those you consider nonbarbaric? ![]() |
Napata77:1. For Pete's sake, how? ![]() 2. So? ![]() 3. I honestly don't understand what you are arguing. They are barbaric got casting down other beliefs yet here you are casting their belief down in order to push yours. Am I missing something here? ![]() |
Napata77:Now you are not making any sense whatsoever! Are they, by telling you that you are headed to hell if you do not accept their ideas, murdering folks? ![]() Are the being intolerant by telling you the god they choose to believe in will throw you in hell if you don't believe in him? You attack their belief, yet you think you are more tolerant than they are? You proclaim your belief is better than theirs yet you want us to believe you are better than those you attack. ![]() Maybe you ought to really consider the meaning of religious tolerance before you continue. ![]() |
Napata77:All I see you doing is demanding they follow your ideas instead of that which they hold to. So I wonder which of you is more ignorant... the religious folks who don't even understand what they claim to believe or you who think it makes sense to insist your opinion should be worth more. ![]() |
Napata77:By this,I take it to mean that you suppose that you have said something substantive here? ![]() As irritating as it is to watch the religiously gullible folks around here, it is also irritating to watch equally ignorant non-religious zealots who come by often to attack them. ![]() |
Napata77:I see! You are equally as ignorant as the religious folks you pretend to counter is the reason for your rants. ![]() |
There are no "lost souls" instead there is the lost sheep of israel whom Jesus Christ sent His followers out to teach of God's agreement and Covenant in the Kingdom of God. The lost sheep of israel were curse and scattered by God Himself- Deuteronomy 30 vs 1 - 6 - the prodigal sons of Israel now, under Jesus Christ to be gathered. As Jesus Christ taught, each time one of the lost sheep are retrieved, the angels in Heaven rejoice that the sheep is found. ![]() |
lalalista:You have to give us more information to work with here. Does this have to do with heartbreak from the end of an intimate relationship? A betrayal from a family member or work buddy or friend? What crime was committed against your person? Do you have evidence of this crime to report with? ![]() |
Abi1985:But what is His Law, even as far as prayer and the answering of prayer is concerned? ![]() Can one who does not obey God's Law get answers from God? Churchians, for example, are known for bellowing their prayers to God as loud as they can disregarding the concerns and peace of those around them as they pretend they honor God with all that noise, yet God instead said that He only answers prayers said in hiding and in secret. So, do Churchians, by their much noise even in prayer do the Will/Law of God? ![]() |
@Harbibi, also wanted to add that Paul's illustration in Romans 11 vs 16 - 21 is meant to elaborate on what Paul stated in the previous verses, Romans 11 vs 1 - 15. ![]() |
Abi1985:Believe God will answer? God instead said that He will only answer the prayer of those who obey Him, so isn't it a lie to claim God will answer those who believe He will answer them? Every year, 100s of millions of Churchians, billions even, do exactly what you prescribe, and every year they all fail to realize the answers to their prayers. Isn't it about time we adopt God's very own narrative in place of these lies we continue to broadcast as if by mentioning Him we justify the lies we tell? ![]() 2. Unbelievers do not pray yet they seem to have it better than the majority of Churchians. Doesn't that cause you to maybe consider that what you are doing is definitely not right since it does not even measure any better than that which is the life of those who don't even regard God? ![]() |
Buskynwa: ![]() For 2023, consider putting the time you have to better use https://www.nairaland.com/7413010/sack-farming-limited-yard-space#118058221 |
Buskynwa:catching cruise? I am asking because I don't understand why, with millions of examples of how wrong things can go right there in Nigeria, folks continue to fall down down same rabbit hole. You are not sick, she is not sick. So what is the problem? ![]() |
Buskynwa:She has a job and the family still not doing well? Again, what happened to 2 heads being better than 1 abeg? ![]() |
Farfalla:Just making sure is all. ![]() |
HantaVirus:You can't simply declare things contradictons because you know how to spell out the word. 4 “Remember and obey the law of my servant Moses. I gave those laws and rules to him at Mount Horeb. They are for all the people of Israel.Nowhere in the above context is it indicated that the coming Elijah will also be called Elijah. And it is also not indicated that His reincarnation will know himself as Elijah. Instead, focus on what it is that he is expected to accomplish when he returns. ![]() 11 Then, on the right side of the incense table, an angel of the Lord came and stood before Zechariah.Did John accomplish that which was expected of him, that being bringing parents closer to their children and children closer to their parents? The answer to that is yes! 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,Moses was the first of the Prophets to Israel, and so John the Baptist was the last of the Prophets sent by God before the judgment of Israel. John saw to the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, the agreement of peace — Jesus Christ—promised by God to the House of Jacob, paving the way for gathering back of Israel from the ends of the earth back to the land of their ancestors - bringing parents closer to children and children closer to parents - Isaiah 66 . ![]() |
Pastoshizzy:Every decision has lasting impacts so we must endeavor to make the right decisions all of the time abeg! ![]() |
khorsky:1. Jesus Christ, in His teachings, pointed out— also recorded in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13 — to His followers that all ideas and rules that emanate from the personal interpretations and opinions of men are lies; he also declared that those who taught such lies in His name where false teachers and false prophets. Identified as false teachers and false prophets, by Jesus Christ, were the Pharisees, and teachers of the Law who had twisted God's Law to produce several doctrines and rules, an entirely different narrative, a religion, which they then fed and enslaved the people giving them power over the minds and lives of those who otherwise belonged to God. These false teachers had elevated what were their opinions(lies), a narrative completely different in almost every way from that of God's teachings to a status above God's own laws teaching these lies in place of God's direct commandments and statutes to His people, hence setting themselves up as gods over God's own people. It is as a result of this that prophet Hosea declared, of the people of Israel, "My people are destroyed because they have no knowledge. You priests have refused to learn, so I will refuse to let you be priests for me. You have forgotten the law of your God, so I will forget your children. - Hosea 6 vs 1 -6". The nation of Judah followed a religion and was made blind to God's Law by it. They were filled with ideas and traditions born of the religion of men — ideas that stood as an abomination against God. So when I refer to "doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches)", I mean by it every theological doctrine, all of them not taught by Jesus Christ, which the religion you consider Christianity is founded upon. ![]() 2a. Jesus Christ's teachings were directed at His followers individually and not at those in the world — he specifically focused His teachings on those who belonged in His flock. Recall that He said the truth of the Kingdom of God is hidden from the rest of the people outside. Well, what that means is that when your pastors and mogs go into brothels to condemn prostitutes and all others as being against God, they commit sin against Jesus Christ who instead instructed that His teachings are meant only for those who are of the lost sheep of Israel — do not cast that which is holy to the dogs — and also that He has come to save those among them who are weary and heavy-laden - Matthew 7 vs 6 & Matthew 15 vs 22 - 24 & Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30. Can a person while sinning against God be said to be doing that which is of God i.e. that which is holy? Of course not! ![]() Now, let's take the subject of Lesbianism. According to His teaching, Jesus Christ said in the Kingdom of God, meaning for those who believe in Him and are of the lost sheep of Israel, sexual lust or impure thoughts of the heart is a sin - Matthew 7 vs 28 - 29. Now, when a person then states instead that the physical act of sex is a sin, obviously such a statement counters Jesus Christ's decree and as such is against Jesus Christ. So teaching others that lesbianism is a sin when Jesus Christ instead said that it is immoral thoughts/sexual lust that is sin pretty much means one is in defiance of Jesus Christ — accuses Jesus Christ of being a liar. ![]() 2b. As to whether we are free to do something simply because Jesus Christ didn't mention that particular thing in His sermons depends. First, Jesus Christ did not mention lesbianism in any of His sermons, so it is ridiculous for one to claim that he or she lives as a lesbian for the sake of the Kingdom of God or use the name of Jesus Christ. Next, since Jesus Christ did declare as sin the sexual lustful thoughts of one's heart, then it would also be a direct sin for one who believes in God yet considers self a lesbian to have such impure thoughts as expressed in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Another example for you to consider is this: since Jesus Christ never sent anyone out to congregate churches, build monuments or even collect money from others using his name, it is equally ridiculous what your pastors do claiming they do it in the name of Jesus Christ. Since Jesus Christ never formerly sanctioned any of what they do in His teachings, it means your pastors and mogs are nothing but liars and deceivers who prey on your lives using the name of God. Also, because Jesus Christ condemned the teaching of doctrines and traditions of men as a sin against God, it is direct sin against God each and every time your pastors and mogs open their mouths to teach you these lies they spew at you using the name of God. ![]() Basically, so long as you do not directly commit sin or violate that declared by God by Jesus Christ, and in the same token you do not associate with God that which is not of God, you are pretty much in compliance with the Truth of God. ![]() In a couple of days, we will be celebrating the Christmas holiday for instance. Did Jesus Christ command such a celebration? Absolutely not! so it will be a direct sin against God to celebrate the Christmas holiday as though you do so in honor of God. But, God does not hold it against you when you celebrate that very same holiday without associating His name or honor to it in any way or form since God did not bar His followers from celebrating pagan holidays of which Christmas happens to be one of. ![]() |
Pastoshizzy:Very tough as it is hard to watch mother and father engage in that daily war without getting wound up emotionally by all that back and forth. ![]() Our definition of love is also a problem in those cases. We tend to confuse the swirling of brain chemicals and sex hormones with love many times too and when the delusion fueled by those chemicals fades, we interpret that to me love is gone. ![]() |
ChristEternal:Terrifying? These are cases that ought to be sent first to a psychiatrist for help. ![]() |
Neverlookback:1. Yet all Nigerian men who endevour to live true to their emotional side you lot are quick to call names and demonize because they are different from you?, ![]() 2. How can a woman be to blame for the character of a man she never raised and probably had little time to nature assuming she even birthed him? ![]() 3. Yet the vast majority of your Nigerian men depend entirely on their same children for exactly that. You sure say you dey connected as far as reality at all? ![]() |
ChukwukaEze:1. Note that all logic is not wisdom, so also your logical choices. But logical choices made with wisdom are. ![]() 2. We are, all as a race, related by blood-- either to Adam or another first --- so why elevate your family members, even a father who chose to invest his time and care on those outside of family, above others? I honestly never really understood the logic of that as it all seems self serving to me. Yet when people do it, they pat themselves on the back believing they have accomplished the most unselfish of feats. ![]() |
Farfalla:Virtuous wife taking care of her virtuous husband, abi? ![]() |
Mindlog:Simple! I don't even understand why OP is putting this up as issue that needs discussing. ![]() |
[quote author= post=119305444]This is a tough one.....[/quote]Tough in what way? She wishes to leave and start her life afresh so what is holding her back from doing just that? ![]() |
Bethanybethel:Right by what standard? ![]() |
Demigod22:It is wrong to tell people that Jesus Christ loves them this since Jesus Christ made it abundantly clear in His everlasting Words that His love is reserved only for those who do the Will of God - those who live their lives according to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. ![]() Here's what Jesus Christ said of the love that is available in Him from God. ![]() 16 Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.a. In verse 16, Jesus Christ made abundantly clear that God's love for man as given through Him only belongs to those who believe in Him, Jesus Christ. ![]() b. In verse 18, Jesus Christ reiterated that those who do not believe will not have the love that God offers to mankind in Jesus Christ. ![]() 9 “I have loved you as the Father has loved me. Now continue in my love.c. Combine that truth with that which Jesus Christ in fact stated in John 15, and you quickly see that it has in fact never been true that Jesus Christ loves everyone. No, Jesus Christ never said He did, nor did God make that claim of His Jesus Christ, the agreement He promised through the prophets. Jesus Christ is designed in such a way that His love abounds only for those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments - they are those who are indeed loved by the Father, and by Jesus Christ. ![]() 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.”d. Jesus Christ spoke of those who love Him proclaiming that the Father will love them and live inside of them only. ![]() 25 “I have told you these things, using words that hide the meaning. But the time will come when I will not use words like that to tell you things. I will speak to you in plain words about the Father.e. Jesus Christ also informed you that God loves you because you love Jesus Christ - you obey His teachings and commandments, the only way you can love Jesus Christ. ![]() So stop lying to people using the name of Jesus Christ! ![]() |
