Okay...I should ask her first...You think so right?

You are not responsible for your sister's life and decisions... she has her own mouth and she has to tell your parents by herself.

Farid24224:
How is she going to tell our mum that she's a mother...After the trust, the pain, sacrifice that she made to take her to school... Coupled with our mom's health... Please Nairaland brothers and sisters..Am just 20 years old, I have never felt this immatured and helpless before...Am feeling scared and shaky and haven't eaten anything today...How can we tell our parents about what happened..My sister is 22..Am sorry if I typed some words wrong, am just so tired..

Mods please I beg you!!

We? Who we? Na both of you carry the pregnancy? Dude, this is your sister's problem and it is her place to let your parents know. It is not your business and so you shouldn't be carrying it on your head as though it is.

By the way, are you saying you learned that she is pregnant today, meaning this is the second child she is having with her Arab boyfriend at this time?

Yemlizzy:
Heaven is real!!! God of second chance indeed has a purpose for you, keep serving him forever. It can only be God. It is a wonderful miracle.

If you believe this man's story to be the truth, what you are invariably saying is God is a lie and Jesus Christ is a liar!

gameova:
That is London, here is Nigeria. Different society. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Too much civilization sometimes is not good. We have our own culture. Thanks

I was raised in that very same Nigeria to understand that domestic violence is wrong. There is nothing African about domestic violence. It is instead born of a barbaric mentality that assumes control/domination is the only way to go about getting results.

Reggaemich:
1. your number 2 answer shows u are not a Nigerian or if u are a nigerian, then you are presently not in these country, because u used the word violently.

2. In Nigeria here, we use Cain, slap, etal to correct a child, Even your neighbors will help u train (use Cain, slap) your child if they misbehave

3. Question What is the solution to removing bad fruit or leaves from a big tree

1. You may have grown up in a household where domestic violence of this sort was praised but in no way means you grew up right as you seem to believe still that violence is the way to go.

2. In the very same Nigeria, there are many who are raised to understand that violence is never the answer, even when it involves dealing with one's own siblings.

3. Again OP is a sibling, not a Parent. And this situation he should have reported to his parents whose responsibility it is to train their kids in the best possible way.

As for removing bad fruits or leaves from a big tree... violently shaking the tree is obviously the wrong approach.

Reggaemich:
1. can u answer this question What is a 16 year old girl doing with iPhone 12, which cost almost N850000, with current exchange rate

2. And for your info, Op has every right to slap her, over and over again,

3. because With the way that girl is going, is obvious her new name will become KEZIAH.

4. Did u not also see in his post, were he said his father is the woman of the family, meaning the wife is in control. Op, was just exacting is Manly dominance over his family, since his father cannot do it

1. Whatever a 16-year-old is doing with such a phone, it is not her brother's place to violently assault her in any way.

2. I beg to differ. He is wrong for violently assaulting his own sibling.

3. Wow... you already have the backstory to this even before OP himself is informed of it?

4. How very convenient of him to have said that of his father in this situation. Again, domestic violence, even under the guise of what you claim is manly dominance, is always wrong!

Reggaemich:
1. Din't u know, it was simply the manner the younger sister replied the op, that made him slap her.
2. If she had maybe responded with courtesy, the slap might not happen. U supporting the mother, shows the kind of person u are

1. Regardless of the "manner" in which she may have responded, OP had no right to violently assault her in the way that he did. What he should have done is get the parents involved so they resolve the issue since the child, as well as himself, is their ward.

2. You are free to reach any conclusions you want about my person.

Kologirl:
They flaunt their wealth in his face all the time. They have gone as far as nicknaming him their house boy, I honestly Wonder why he still keep them as friends.
I try to be supportive, sometime I give him money and advise but it's never enough.
He works hard and he earns about 40k a month.
But because of inflation it's as good as 5k
I try my best to advice him that things will be better. He's even saving money to start a farming business.
But he's not happy Mind you he's 22 I don't know what else to do, If I tell him to cut off his friends, it will look like I'm trying to control him.
He really wants to go to school, he said he is going to write jamb next year but anytime he's around his friends, he feel sad.

I just feel hard work pays, and I try my best to work hard and support myself but he doesn't feel that way
Please men in the house .... please advise me

Your boyfriend is his own problem and until he realizes that the solution ought to start with him, there is nothing you can rightly do for him.

Leave him alone and let him sort himself out. As for you, given what I have heard of yahoo boys and their dealing, be sure to protect yourself as this boy of yours might eventually cave into what is peer pressure and yours might be the head on the slab.

adeoyekay:
I am also waiting for kobojunkie comment.

You don't need to wait for me. You simply need to decide for yourself if it is the case that this man is telling you Truth meaning God is a liar. That's all!

If Heaven is already open for business, what that means is that Jesus Christ is a liar - He is not the Way to the father as He proclaimed over 2000 years ago and the judgement to come is a ruse since according to this man, his friends and relatives are already in Heaven even before Jesus Christ's so-called judgement day. So is God a lie? That is the core question here.

tctrills:
You don't understand the words of Christ and you don't have the spirit of Christ so you don't know a false or a true prophet.

Again... I am not the judge here. The Words of Jesus Christ from over 2000 years ago are what condemn them all as false teachers and false prophets. He told you that He alone is the good Shepherd, meaning everyone else who asserts himself a shepherd is a liar.

tctrills:
Now you are being a false witness. Jesus condemned all false teachers he never said all preachers are false. So you claiming that every one of them is in it for the money makes you a false witness against Christ.

Again... I am not the judge here. The Words of Jesus Christ from over 2000 years ago are what condemn them all as false teachers and false prophets. He told you that He alone is the good Shepherd, meaning everyone else who asserts himself a shepherd is a liar.

Nauttyprof:
Stick to context. Other scriptures you cited gave their own meaning but Matthew 11:28-30 focused on Jesus' personality and not just obeying commands. Context is important for every translation. I rest my discussion.
Shalom

Focused on personality? I doubt Jesus Christ meant that statement about His personality given the reality disclosed in the Gospels was of a man who was far from gentile and humble to other men.

Anyways, that statement was a separate one from the one that mentioned your learning from Him. Also pay attention to the language constructs, when reading.

28 “Come to me all of you who are tired from the heavy burden you have been forced to carry. I will give you rest.
29 Accept my teaching . Learn from me . I am gentle and humble in spirit . And you will be able to get some rest .
30 Yes, the teaching that I ask you to accept is easy. The load I give you to carry is light.” - Matthew 11- 28 - 30

He said learn from me, and then He said He is gentle and humble in spirit. If you read with open eyes through the Gospel, you will see that in personality, Jesus Christ wasn't a gentle and humble person at all. He was definitely not gentle with the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law, and He was not humble with anyone since He did not respect or humble himself before men instead His humility was to God and God alone. So, it is wrong to assume there that Jesus Christ meant for you to change your personality in some way, nor was He speaking of His personality.

As for His statement which is in fact that He is gentle and humble in Spirit, I believe Jesus Christ instead said that for a reason different from that which you assume. That Spirit of Jesus Christ is the one you call the Spirit of Truth aka the Holy Spirit, the gentle and humble one who lives inside of(possess) all those who are His followers.

Nauttyprof:
1. Never give the scriptures your own meaning that's the beginning of heresy. This is one of the reason I mentioned that you want to be too Jesus in this whole discussion.
2a. When Bible referred to two masters, there was nowhere Jesus referred to Old and New testament, you gave it a meaning which Jesus never said. 2b. He referred to God and money. To have even suggested that this meant the two testaments is heresy as you are even saying there are two different God involved.
3. Do you know more than Jesus who quoted from the Old testament from the beginning of his ministry and to the end on earth? Some were replaced, some He emphasized more on them and also dwelled on God's word from the old

1. I agree with you that we should never apply interpretations as far as scripture is concerned. I believe we should read and take what is written as it is written rather than inject our personal delusions between the lines and then call them an interpretation of scripture.

2a. Well, what is a master? A Master is one whom a servant obeys, is that not so?

Jesus Christ introduced Himself as God's Law(complete with yoke and burden) to all those who are weary and heavy Laden, in Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30, and He commands His followers to trust and obey His every teachings and commandment because those who love Him are those who do so - John 14 vs 20 - 21, declaring that it is only those who love Him that He loves back - John 15 vs 9 - 11. He also proclaimed in Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10 that He alone is master over all those who belong to Him, and He also is God's New agreement which was promised to the people through the prophets - Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30.

In the Old Covenant, God commanded the people of Israel to trust and obey Him and Him alone, meaning the Law was the Master which they served - Leviticus 18:4 - 5, among others. He decreed that they serve Him alone as their God and Master. However, in Jesus Christ, Jesus decrees that His followers serve Him alone as Master over them. And according to Jesus Christ, you cannot serve two Masters in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 6 vs 24. And He also warned His followers not to let New Wine and New Wine mix, or attempt to store Old Wine in New Wineskin. ..

16- 17 “When someone sews a patch over a hole in an old coat, they never use a piece of cloth that has not already been shrunk. If they do, the patch will shrink and pull away from the coat. Then the hole will be worse. Also, people never pour new wine into old wineskins. They would break, the wine would spill out, and the wineskins would be ruined. People always put new wine into new wineskins, which won’t break, and the wine stays good.” - Matthew 9 vs 16 - 17

...

21- 22 “When someone sews a patch over a hole in an old coat, they never use a piece of cloth that is not yet shrunk. If they do, the patch will shrink and pull away from the coat. Then the hole will be worse. Also, no one ever pours new wine into old wineskins. The wine would break them, and the wine would be ruined along with the wineskins. You always put new wine into new wineskins.” - Mark 2 vs 21 - 22

...

36 Jesus told them this story: “No one takes cloth off a new coat to cover a hole in an old coat. That would ruin the new coat, and the cloth from the new coat would not be the same as the old cloth.
37 Also, no one ever pours new wine into old wineskins. The new wine would break them. The wine would spill out, and the wineskins would be ruined.
38 You always put new wine into new wineskins.
39 No one who drinks old wine wants new wine. They say, ‘The old wine is just fine.’” - Luke 5 vs 36 vs 39

So clearly, Jesus Christ warned His followers against trusting and obeying other Laws as His servants. Why is it heretical to point this out to those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ?

2b. As to your claim that Jesus Christ meant only that you cannot serve God and mammon, well, have you actually ever read the verse for yourself or have you up till now allowed others to feed you their special interpretation of what is written instead?

24 “You cannot serve two masters at the same time. You will hate one and love the other, or you will be loyal to one and not care about the other . You cannot serve God and Money at the same time.- Matthew 6 vs 24

...

13 “You cannot serve two masters at the same time. You will hate one master and love the other. Or you will be loyal to one and not care about the other . You cannot serve God and Money at the same time.” - Luke 16 vs 13

Did you notice the period at the end of the first statement in each of the two passages above? The first statement in each clearly states you cannot serve two masters at the same time, while a second statement also asserts, in addition, to the first, that you cannot serve God and money at the same time.

Do you see the difference between the two statements in each passage? And can you see why you are mistaken in thinking it is only God and money that you are not allowed to serve together in the Kingdom of God? Also, see the attached image for more clues.

3. Jesus Christ taught you God's Old teachings in order to explain who He is and the connection that exists between the Old and the New...

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. - Luke 24 - 44 - 45

... but He never taught you to obey them since He already instructed you to obey Him and only Him as His followers.

Nauttyprof:
1. Like I earlier stated, read Bible in its wholeness and not just take a side to dwell on. What does Matthew 11:29 then mean. Please, before you reply me also check the meaning of imitate.

2. To have even suggested a half view of what Jesus expect from us, are you also saying the Disciples who directly learnt from Christ got it wrong? While only you had the right view of Jesus' teaching.

3. Please, let's stop all these religiosity and begin to focus on just the Bible and not just one sided view of the Bible

1. I completely agree that the message is to be considered as a whole and in context.

28 “Come to me all of you who are tired from the heavy burden you have been forced to carry. I will give you rest.
29 Accept my teaching. Learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will be able to get some rest.
30 Yes, the teaching that I ask you to accept is easy. The load I give you to carry is light.” - Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30

And here's what I mean. The same Jesus Christ who said that to you, also taught the following

24 “Whoever hears these teachings of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.
25 It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. But it did not fall because it was built on rock.
26 “Whoever hears these teachings of mine and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. And it fell with a loud crash.” - Matthew 7 vs 24 - 27

....

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to accept and obey my teaching, you are really my followers.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 They answered, “We are Abraham’s descendants. And we have never been slaves. So why do you say that we will be free?” - John 8 vs 31 - 33

...

10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The things I have told you don’t come from me. The Father lives in me, and he is doing his own work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or believe because of the miracles I have done.
12 “I can assure you that whoever believes in me will do the same things I have done. And they will do even greater things than I have done, because I am going to the Father.
13 And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you. Then the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son.
14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, you will do what I command.
16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper[a] 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.” - John 14 vs 10 - 17

...

5 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won’t be able to do anything.
6 If you don’t stay joined to me, you will be like a branch that has been thrown out and has dried up. All the dead branches like that are gathered up, thrown into the fire and burned.
7 Stay joined together with me, and follow my teachings. If you do this, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be given to you.
8 Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor[c] to my Father.
9 “I have loved you as the Father has loved me. Now continue in my love.
10 I have obeyed my Father’s commands, and he continues to love me. In the same way, if you obey my commands, I will continue to love you.
11 I have told you these things so that you can have the true happiness that I have. I want you to be completely happy.
12 This is what I command you: Love each other as I have loved you.
13 The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends.
14 You are my friends if you do what I tell you to do.
15 I no longer call you servants, because servants don’t know what their master is doing. But now I call you friends, because I have told you everything that my Father told me. - John 15 vs 9 - 15

Now, with all of the information above, when in Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30 Jesus Christ said "Learn from me", did He mean that you should do exactly what He did, or did He instead, as a Master, instruct you, His servant, to learn His teachings and commandments from Him and in fact obey them all?

2. The disciples could not have imitated Jesus Christ during His lifetime, because Jesus Christ lived His life in continuous submission to God's Old Covenant and Law of Moses, whereas, He called His disciples to live instead according to a different standard which He taught to them, God's New Covenant and Law in the Kingdom of God. He did make it clear to you and to all that you cannot have one foot in the Old Law and one foot in the New Law, and you definitely cannot serve two masters - Matthew 6 vs 24

3. Open your eyes and stop doing and begin living as Jesus Christ commands of you, not at your pastors and mogs tell you to instead.

tctrills:
No you just judged calling all pastors the same. You don't know all pastors so it's judgemental to all about all pastors.

Here are your very words
Every single last one of them is like that. Jesus Christ warned His followers against wolves in sheep's clothing for good reason.

Again... I am not the judge here. The Words of Jesus Christ from over 2000 years ago are what condemn them all as false teachers and false prophets. He told you that He alone is the good Shepherd, meaning everyone else who asserts himself a shepherd is a liar.

1. Romans 1:3-4
Concerning his Son Yeshua the Messiah our Saviour, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
And declared to be the Son of יהוה‎ with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

2. The Messiah was the son of David because the Flesh (breath of life of David) preserved from David by Elohim was given to him to live like man.
3. The Messiah is the Son of יהוה‎ Elohim because the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him is יהוה‎ Elohim.
4. The reason nobody has the SPIRIT OF יהוה‎ is because nobody really knows how יהוה‎ is the Father of the Messiah.
The Devil has blinded them with the doctrine saying that the Holy Spirit is a third person.

1. What manuscript of the book of Roman contains the terms in bold abeg? The image attached is of the greek writings and there are no Hebrew words contained. Where do I access this manuscript that includes the Hebrew references you have there?

2. Where does this claim of yours that the flesh is the breath of life come from? Also, where is it written that Elohim is responsible for preserving David's flesh so Jesus could live like a man?

3. Where in scripture are the statements in bold found?

4. So, did יהוה/Jehovah‎ state somewhere that only those who know how יהוה/Jehovah‎ is the Father of the messiah can have the Spirit of יהוה‎/Jehovah in them? Where?

Broveens42:
instead of rebuffing me like you did to the other fellow about what's scriptural, you decided to go philosophical?

But there is nothing to rebuff since I don't see what the connection is between the other fellow's post and yours.

tonicyril:
What are u arguing, i dont even understand ur stance again laidis
U said it was not in the bible that God requested us to praise him, isnt that wat u said??
And i provided u a verse which countered ur claim, shebi??

Please pay attention and stop trying to deviate!

Again, You boldly claimed that Jesus Christ, the Law in the Kingdom of God, who declared that He does not desire praise from you(those who do not do His Will), or any human, instead meant that He wanted praise only from those who do His will. So my question remains, where did Jesus Christ in fact say what you claim since nothing in the context provided alludes to that?

38 The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent.
39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me!
40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.
41 “I don’t want praise from you or any other human.
42 But I know you—I know that you have no love for God.
43 I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don’t accept me. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them.
44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? - John 5 vs 41 - 44

Where does this claim of yours come from?

The below image is of the greek writings of John 5 vs 41 and it clearly shows Jesus Christ meant what He said there, which you claim is false, how come?

Broveens42:
Is this one scriptural?

So, what has any of what appears as random clippings to do with what I stated?

tonicyril:
what i am saying, "quoting what Jesus said" is simple... Wen u dont do my will, dont bother to praise me..
That is all

The thing about God is you don't have the authority to make up your own ideas and then pin it on Him. He is the Law and it is what He says that goes. So, where is this claim of yours to be found in the context below or anywhere in scripture for that matter?

31 “If I tell people about myself, they cannot be sure that what I say is true.
32 But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33 “You sent men to John, and he told you what is true.
34 I don’t need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved.
35 John was like a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.
36 “But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like.
38 The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent.
39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me!
40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.
41 “I don’t want praise from you or any other human.
42 But I know you—I know that you have no love for God.
43 I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don’t accept me. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them.
44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? - John 5 vs 41 - 44

Jesus Christ said He does not want praise from those who do not believe in Him, nor from any human. However, you claim instead that Jesus Christ said there that He only wants praises from those who do His will. Where is this written?

AkuOlisa:
We are not in anyway saying that there's no Satan. What I'm only saying is that what we regard as Satan in igbo as Ekwensu is not Satan. Now let's analys it in this way.
The Christian Satan couldn’t possibly be the Igbo Ekwensu. At least, that is what their different stories tell. The Biblical Satan was once a high ranking angel in heaven who revolted. After he was defeated alongside his army, the Biblical Satan was cast off heaven.

That statement in bold is not scriptural at all. It is instead born of pagan ideas.

vinceyinnovation:
Oh sorry! (My bad) that means you are a Confusionist by religion. You dey cause confusion everywhere with your threads and comments.

I don't think I am the source of your confusion since all I do is tell you exactly what Jesus Christ said. So what confuses you is Jesus Christ, not me.

tctrills:
He also warned that you judge not. I know pastors who give and not recieve

I am not the one who judges here... they were judged by the words of Jesus Christ from over 2000 years ago. I simply repeat what Jesus Christ Himself stated.

By the way, Jesus Christ commands His followers to judge all things according to the standard He has set up - God's New Covenant. So surely you see why you need to hold everything up against the standard that is Jesus Christ, particularly all that which claims to be of HIs Him, right?

tonicyril:
That ur quote, read it very well from 38 upward nd see the reasons Jesus said so.

I did read it well, and I am afraid I don't see where in that context Jesus Christ insinuates that He wants praise from only those who are His followers in that entire context. So, be more specific in your explanation. Where did Jesus Christ make this exception you claim?

31 “If I tell people about myself, they cannot be sure that what I say is true.
32 But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33 “You sent men to John, and he told you what is true.
34 I don’t need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved.
35 John was like a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.
36 “But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like.
38 The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent.
39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me!

44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? - John 5 vs 41 - 44

Is it before or after declaring He does not want praise from any Human?

tctrills:
Too bad but not all pastors or churches are like that.

Every single last one of them is like that. Jesus Christ warned His followers against wolves in sheep's clothing for good reason.

These pastors sometimes feel they own the world. They lack courtesy and gratitude. The choir sacrifices their time, money, and effort but because he doesn't feel entertained, he shuts them down. How much of the offering goes to the choir? Monkey dey work baboon dey chop.
It's high time pastors begin to pay their choir. If the pastor gets paid for ministering, the choir should also get paid.
Secondly, who tells the pastor to shut up when his sermon is boring? Are we now allowed to tell the pastor to shut up when we are not feeling his sermon?

Who tells a business owner to shut up? No be customer wey know him right fit do that? These Churchians are submitted as slaves almost to their pastors and mogs who they regard as holy men and so anything goes. The same choristers will be back again next time around to try to impress him with the music he prefers.

One is enough to bring out more with time as it(mostly), spreads itself through it's roots.

Modified: There are roots on the body of the matured plant that have overgrown harvesting, so, if you cut the plant into pieces like you do cut cassava stems for planting (with each having the body roots), and you put them back on the tilled ground, they'll shoot off new ones.

Dont start from verse 41, bring out the precedent verses pls..
Jesus said He doesn't want praise from those who did not love God, and not the other way round

Interesting twist on what is stated. So exactly where in the context below do you find Jesus Christ instead asserting that only those who love Him can praise Him?

31 “If I tell people about myself, they cannot be sure that what I say is true.
32 But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33 “You sent men to John, and he told you what is true.
34 I don’t need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved.
35 John was like a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.
36 “But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like.
38 The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent.
39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me!
40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.
41 “I don’t want praise from you or any other human.
42 But I know you—I know that you have no love for God.
43 I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don’t accept me. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them.
44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? - John 5 vs 41 - 44

Please go ahead and educate up by pointing out exactly this exception you claim of that which Jesus Christ said exists in the context of the passage above.
Feel free, to reference other scripture where Jesus Christ asserts this claim of yours abeg.

Emperordynasty:
I don’t want to be rude to you.. By now u should be sick of all these..cuz everyone is, Go and find God for yourself and know him personally instead of being a watchdog to those who have a proof filled Christian testimony
I guess it’s time you graduated from Knowing God only through arguing scriptures and written words, to know him in spirit and in truth
I don’t see were God Commanded us to argue all our life till the last day
Besides I didn’t read all you wrote..cuz I have in the past tried to read somethings you write and they always ended up the same way..invalid and misinterpreted

This is the trap that is paying attention to just soundbites rather than actually listening to God's Truth from God's own mouth to you.

Jesus Christ said that those who know Him are those who continually submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. These are the ones who are called Sons of God - John 8 vs 31 - 35 and they are those who worship God in Truth and in Spirit.

McLizbae:
This na ignorant question. You dey read Bible? Wait self, you know Bible if you see one?

If you have in fact read scripture yourself, then you shouldn't have any problems responding, right? So, Where in scripture did God order this so-called worship you do in your churches?

Tifunloran:
1. Talking of resurrection if my dead loved ones are righteous will they not enjoy from it

2. Why did Act 24:15 states the same

3. The idea of ressurection in the Bible clearly shows that not all good people are going to heaven. You may want to research more that though.

Thanks for your time
I appreciate it

1. We don't get to decide who will be resurrected though. God does this according to His standards.

According to God's Old Covenant Law of Moses, eternal life is given only to the righteous - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 - meaning that only the righteous will be resurrected to long life in the land of Israel since resurrection is promised only to those who have life(eternal).

However, in God's New Covenant, Jesus Christ, since all those who are born-again are granted eternal life by Jesus Christ, regardless of whether they are Wheat or Tares in the Kingdom of God, all of them, both good and evil will be resurrected - John 5 vs 28 - 29 - and then judged - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 - by Jesus Christ who promises Heaven to those who are judged righteous in the end and Hell(Eternal damnation).

2. I believe Acts 24 vs 15 speaks of those who are of God's New Covenant, Jesus Christ, and not God's Old Covenant Law of Moses.

3. Well, as God stipulated in His Covenants, the Jewish Covenant promises the land of Canaan to the Jews whereas Jesus Christ promises Heaven(or Hell) to His followers.
