There was i time i really enjoyed the guy. Nobody can deny that he is called by God. I can attribute mu understanding of divine health today to one of his teachings. however i have come to realise that there there is a personality cult around him that he encourages. crist embassy and believers loveworld is all bout pastor chris not about God. Its the word of God (not pastor chris) that is worth hearing. All christ embassy people i know cant imagine listening to another preacher. (They say they can only drink from one source , or something like that). In all, there seems to be some pride somewhere in this chris oyakhilome

educate me more jen33. These stories of Horus, Krishna, Mythra, Dionysius, Hercules etc. what is the oldest dated recordings you can find?

And she didn't die a virgin as you are wont to believe. And she didn't ascend to heaven according to Pius XII [Encyclical Munificentissimus Deus 1950]

solution to the traffic madness in lagos is simple - ferry. you think say God give us all this water for nothing?

This is a Thread worth reviving. I really would like to be enlightened on this. I believe the power of the Holy spirit can fill a material medium. There is an example i think in Acts, and the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus' garment. However, I believe it is not neccesary to use a material medium. The power of God can move without these mediums. I also believe that these mediums can help to stir the faith of people. However i dont believeit should be a permanent thing. We shouldn't be carrying things up and down like jazz men

250 posts later this 787 never still make sense. (maybe his 787th post will)

Oil companies[i] pay[/i] you transportation allowance to attend their tests - anywhere from N500 to N5000. (This is after they would have sent you an invitation via courier) This one asks you to pay N1200 for what? Go figure.

How dull can u get? Its Mr Hiss

Why is there no Icon for Hissing? Oh well 'pssssst'

Mary? Role in our salvation? c'mon

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 Thess 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is what i meant. A person is only the mother of what originates inside of her. The human Jesus Originated in Mary's womb. Not God. Same reason we know that though Jesus was called the Son of David (Luke 1:32: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David), David most definitely cannot be called the Father of God.

Last time i checked, Jesus was both God and Man. The Man Jesus was born of Mary, yes. But was God who existed before the foundations of the Earth was laid ever born?

lol! even a self confessed atheist (who believes the sacred word of God, the bible is a collection of fables) says the 'Gospel of Barnabas' that you hold so dear is utterly senseless. Where you gon' run to babs?

@ Bari_kade
You need to write a complete treatise on THE SABBATH. I have learnt a whole lot from you. I'm even tempted to do "copy and paste" of all your posts and read. Stay really, truly blessed.

no

In the context of this thread, What did God mean when he said in Ex 33:19b and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.?

Question: isn't this supposed to be in romance? abi na God say make u marry am?

Yes, Bobby please answer bari_kade's questions. esp how God expects us to keep the sabbath (Including how you keep the sabbath). And while you're at it, how did Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and co keep the sabbath?

Thanks for sharing open heavens with the house. Bless you.

Lafile, oh yeah you are very correct and am sure it wont make much sense to you.

Sure dont. Cos if you are saying my statement "I deduce you mean Islam does not compel any one to join. But if you do, You cannot leave. Am I right?" is correct, then you mean theres absolutely no freedom in Islam. Therefore anybody born into an islamic family becomes a muslim by force. He has no choice in the matter cos it is not his decision. Can you see why islam is based on compulsion? No wonder muslims generally dont question their faith or scrutinize what they are thought to see if it makes sense. Whats the use? they cannot leave anyway. Islam is a religion based on force not faith. Even if people born as muslims dont believe in the koran, it doesnt matter. they can not un-muslim themselves. chei!

@Alexos

I wasn't trying to misquote you. I just wanted you to make your earlier statement clearer, so you will not be misunderstood. Which is what you did. Remember not everybody on this forum is a christian. Cheers!

John 4:23,24: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.God is a Spirit: and they that worship him [b]must worship him in spirit and in truth.[/b]

The Only way to worship God is in Spirit and Truth.

To worship God in Spirit, You have to be of the same Spirit with Him. Man died spiritually when He sinned in Eden, Making Him Captive to the law of Sin and Death.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Rom 8:1,2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

@ Belloti

I agree with you that we are looking at this thing from a different perspective. Can you please give me a view of your perspective?

You state that Islam Only Compels REAL MUSLIMS from deserting the religion. Now i will like to know how Islam defines the term real muslim.

Also from your statements
1. Islam does not compel anyone to join it. There are Quranic verses and Hadith to support this.

2. Islam prescribe death sentence for any real muslim that deserted. This too is supported by Quran and Hadith

I deduce you mean Islam does not compel any one to join. But if you do, You cannot leave. Am I right?

Alexos:
As long as you worship God with the sincererity and the humilty of your mind, God will accept it.

Are u sure? Do u mean whatever mode of worship (idols, yoga etc) u use God will accept it as long as its in sincerity?
Have u actually asked God how HE wants to be worshipped?

There is no Scriptural command to keep sunday because there is no longer any need to keep any day.

I wonder. Perharps Paul went to synagogue on the sabbath because he knew there will be a large crowd there. Notice he and other disciples also went to the synagogue on other days.

Acts 17:17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart

Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ

When i leave for work by 6.00am, there's usually power. And i hear it runs throughout the day except for 1 or 2 hours. However, when i get back from work say around 7.00pm, theres never power. And we stay in the dark until say 1.00am the next day. Weekends are usually without power supply. In other words, When theres power, I am never at home. When I am at home, theres never power. Thats the story of my life. By the way, my bill is about N2500 monthly.

outta the question. one wife is a full 27 hour a day job as it is. 2? even if i am mad,

The Godfather

And i have seen cripple children stand up and walk before my eyes. no be say dem tell me o, i see am.

It is a miracle that with the rampant dangerous driving in lagos, trailers and tankers parked recklessly on the expressways, buses stopping indiscriminately on the highways, that we do not have 1000 fatal accidents everyday.

@Sage.
Bottomline is you believe that there is a particular denomination/body of believers who (and only who) know the way to God.
