rabzy01:
Thank you for been part of this discussion.

I want you to tell me categorically who spoke the words in Romans, 1:16. Was it God, Jesus or Paul?

When were the disciples persicuted and went to Phenice, Cyprus and Antioch (Acts 11:19) and why did they restrict their preaching to only the jews. Were they ignorant of Romans 1:16 and Johm 3:16?

Back to John 3:16, for God so loveth THE WORLD.....
Which of the worlds? Cos there are many worlds eg one can say 'the world of soccer', 'the world of the jin', the world of magic, the world of the jews, the arab world etc and stand correct each in its context. The WORLD in John 3:16 is a definte article refering to a particular world which should be read in context with other verses like the ones in matthew to mean the WORLD OF THE JEWS or the jewish world.

Lastly, you should know that by its context, John 3:16 is neither the spoken words of God nor those of Jesus but of a third party who may just be expressing his opinion. This opinion may be right or wrong.

Thank you once more.

2 Timothy 3:16-17King James Version (KJV):-

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

lawbabs:
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

Acts 10
10 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.

The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.

Peter’s Vision
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.

17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there.

19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”

21 Peter went down and said to the men, “I’m the one you’re looking for. Why have you come?”

22 The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.” 23 Then Peter invited the men into the house to be his guests.

Peter at Cornelius’s House
The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

30 Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. 32 Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”

34 Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism 35 but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. 36 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37 You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

39 “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues[b] and praising God.

Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

Please read these scriptures and ask God to open your heart to understand... Your natural mind cannot phantom the mind of God. You must come with the heart of faith... Please read that 10th chapter of Acts of Apostles very well with a heart of faith... God bless you.

truthman2012:
You do not understand the bible. There is the dispensation of Gospel to the Jews and Gospel to the Gentiles. Jesus mission was to the Jews first and to the Gentile later.

The same Jesus said:
And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the WORLD
for a witness unto all NATIONS; and
then shall the end come (Mat. 24:14).

The above verse should pose a serious problem for muslims because it says it is the Gospel that God allowed to be preached till the END OF THE WORLD. This shows islam is not from the true God.

You are spot on. I am just seeing this post. I also suggest that we don't condemn the OPs. He is in the quest to know and thank God for you, bro. To corroborate your contribution, Apostle Paul mentioned that he was unashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God that brings salvation to them that believe... first to the jews, and then to the gentiles.

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile" - [Romans 1:16].

This man and his mouth. Demon at night, Angel in the morning. Doing to Ekiti what the Sarakis did to Kwara in the last 30 yrs in the name of stomach infrastructure... We shall see what will become of u...

If u report him, u myt av a problem with him nd his ppl

I agree with this line of thought. You should vacate that room with immediate alacrity. Try also look for other friends u can squat with until u find a final resolution for ur accomodation. Dont hesitate about it. Just leave...

Ur best price...

Which lies? That your oga jona was clueless and not in control of his govt? You know nohun, common gerara hia. Enemy of progress - Francis Odega

bigerboy200:
Tinubu was in d opposition for d 16 years that that PDP was at d centre...y didn't they prosecute him since u bliv he is corrupt?? (or is it a confirmation to the fact that PDP condoned stealing and corruption for 16 years). Tho tried in d same CCT Saraki is running from,he came out victorious and stronger..if u have evidence against anyone,then present such in d court..this is exactly y I am against anyone calling Jonathan a thief...

They even tried and prosecuted him. E no start to dey cry foul. He went to court and defended himself... We all saw him in the dock. Saraki should do likewise.

DEXTROVERT:
But he's not married, HOW COME

You forgot to add that he is also a virgin...

This your senseless comment has frozen the hell fire
What can I tell you...
If not you born coward to go to hell.

I laugh in vernacular. No time for a garrulous lot, who bickers over what doesnt exist...

sdindan:
Then go to Osun and fight your battle there
Didn't see you fools comment on his thread today
You have seen politician from the east
Now you hv judged

You crazy lot and fool. You must be out of your mind to call me a fool. For once, you cannot be civil. Your mates are in Yaba Left. Nonsense.

I have written articles about Aregbesola and his likes. They are wicked souls. This is not about party. it is about doing and supporting what is right. I know you bitter and angry because PDP lost. Pls get yourself together and think like a Nigerians.

chukwudi44:
Last time i checked Buhari is not probing fashola

Pls try read wide and understand democratic process before arguing. It is Ambode that will probe Fashola. If he chooses not to, that's his cup of zobo... I really hope he does. And same for all past governors. Listen, the reason DSS invaded Akpabio is not because Buhari is probing him. It means someone around him has given them a security info about a shady plan

chukwudi44:
Olodo i did not see you commenting when Fashola used N78million to design a website

Mumu like u. If fashola is found wanting, he should pay the price. He should refund and go to jail. You lawless ayiri...

chukwudi44:
Olodo i did not see you commenting when Fashola used N78million to design a website

Olode ori. Aforikoyepe, Ur brain has also been sucked away

chukwudi44:
Ode Godswill Akpabio is a very strong and powerful politician!!! It is easier for Tinubu to install the senate president than for Akpabio who is the senate minority leader to spend a day in cell

Omugo buruku, ayiradarada. You are happy to back those who have sucked your future away into their pockets.

chukwudi44:
Olodo even the illiterate Buhari cannot withdraw the diplomatic passport on a serving senator and the senate minority leader!!!! The useless DSS should know better than even go close to him as what happened to Lamorde would be a child's play compared to what will happen to him

Some people have eaten up your future and destiny, and u seat with your laptop to spew rubbish instead of you to go to church and pray for the return of your fortune...

Not sure of this source but if this is true, then Akpabio should be prepared for a long prison term. Now I know why he begged OBJ before the election to back GEJ, that he doesn't want to go to jail

okeamuboy:
Too many kids on nairaland. So the female cattles will stop giving birth to new offsprings just because Buhari become president. You funny die

That guy doesn't need any argument. Allow him to wail...

TheFreeOne:
Gradually the real truth is unfolding. The assets has increased after election
And we thought its 150 cows but now 270 heads of cattle
There's even an Abuja property
And a missing plot of land in PH..hmn that must be in the GRA

Has he been evading tax too since there's no registered company to his name but owned farms/herds of cattle/economic trees.

Interesting....

Wailing wailer indeed. Enjoy your meal. LWKMD

Na strategy to draw Area boiz to Christ.good one

What a fantastic strategy indeed. Is that the requirement of Christ. Did Jesus say, "use every means to draw them"? Its interesting that we are developing strategies for Jesus. He said, if I be lifted, I will draw all men unto me... Drawing of men is the work of God, and convicting them of their sin, is the work of Holyspirit... Our work is to go and speak....

For all I care, this is photshoped...

We shall see where Saraki will go with this... He doesnt know that seeking high positions comes with the spotlight. He that must come to equity must come with clean hands... Let Senate probe EFCC and if Lamorde is guilty, he should go, but the probe of Toyin Saraki must go on...

Since its Nigerian use, is there any prob with the car?

Billygee2u:
lair mohammed also should be probed.
is Mr lair mohammed a Saint?

Please send the details of his corruption to EFCC and keep quiet...

shaddoww:
They are trying to recover the money they will use to finance them but since u don't want probe, den why asking for this things after all PMB said during d campaign dat whatever he recovers will b spent on those things u mentioned n dats exactly wat he is trying to do but ur God of Men don't want it, so u should know ur enemies now

Your head dey there...

baby124:
I hope they go after the criminals of Oceanic, PHB, and others banks too. Who got favorable judgments from fraudulent judges. A lot of judges also need to be probed and retired

Retired ke? Many judges need to be behind bars and share prison cells with some of the poor guys they have convicted... Let the rich guys they have let off come to visit them in prison.

By God's grace, it will happen someday.

Mogidi:
What concession did Gbaja offer, I know punch won't tell us.

P:S
Just in case any one wants to beat chest, don't forget Gbajiamila was supposed to be the House Speaker. This is like applying to be a manager and ending up as chief cleaner.

What did Gbaja do to you? You so hate him.... Na wa o. But I must admit that you don't know anything about politics. Why do u think Dogara doesnt want him to be the house leader? He has so much influence and the speaker is trying to protect himself. So dont think House leader role is a cleaner role. it is a very serious role... watchout!

sweatlana:
For what reason exactly?

Then read news details from all tabloids to understadn the exact reason before coming here to mis-fire...
