The one you responded to was actually wrong! Jesus Christ said it Himself that He was sent by His Father only to the Lost sheep of Israel meaning that the world He was sent to was one that consisted only of the sinners of Israel. And before you go on, Jesus Christ also warned His followers not to give that which is Holy to the dogs aka the Non-Israelites. So when the word gentile is used in reference to those who were to be given the gospel, it referred to those who were of the House of Israel but have been cursed and cast out, made strangers by God Himself for their sins against Him.
So yes, Cornelius the gentile was an Israelite. The Samaritan woman Jesus Christ preached to was also an Israelite.

In your analysis, Jesus was referring to his ministry while on earth. The ministry of Jesus after he left was undertaken by his followers in obedience of his instructions. Read these scriptures. They are the words of Christ himself:

Mark 16:15
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Luke 24:47
and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

Matthew 24:14
This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Mark 13:10
The gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

On the Samaritan woman, Jesus used her as a means of reaching others in Samaria. Samaria wasn’t only occupied by Israelites. There were gentiles that had also mingled with the jews. That’s why they always refer to the samaritans as unworthy. See the response of the people that heard Christ in John 4.

John 4:42
and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”


The saviour of the world not of Israel!

The Buhari Regime is inflicting Hardships and Pain on Nigerians with the failed Naira Redesign Policy.

But the people you support want the hardship to continue! Hypocrisy is Nigerians second name!

shey nah by force to comment, must you be a he goat

Your family and generation are descendants of he goat. Idiot who can’t make comments without insult.

All the conjectures in the media are the result of his overbearing attitude and lack of discretion and understanding of time when he went to do an interview with that failed journalist just to spite his club.

You can’t call for negative attention to others, and expect the positive attention to follow you… he has to live with it. No one can eat his cake and still have it!

Brendaniel:
The noise on this blue rail line is getting too much, can they just finish the work and let people start enjoying the service, it is like the project is now been used as a campaign tool instead of serving the people, this is one reason I preferred Ambode's government, he doesn't make noise with projects, you just see the project done without media hype and ceremonies.

Ambode is still the best Lagos governor since 1999 - but Tinubu removed him because Tinubu wanted to steal more for himself and his cronies

On the contrary, Ambode was the one arranging increased money for Tinubu both as account general under Fashola and as Governor.

Ambode messed with the party structure and destroyed many contractual agreements with Lagos Contractors in order to bring his own contractors on board. That is what cost him his job. Those politicians were not push-aways so Tinubu listened to them when it became obvious he will lose their followership if he continued to back Ambode.

The facts are there… you may want to dig to know more than stay on the surface.

DadaHammed:
The phrase 'awa lokan' is full of tribalism.

Emilokan was not about tribe. He was talking to his party members and said he has pushed many people’s agenda and it was time for his party men to rally him. So don’t even go there. They are two different thing.

Foolish youth like you will be mentally folded by the likes of Atiku.

luvinhubby:
No sane human being can support Tinubu to become president of Nigeria, none.

No sane person should be talking of voting the single largest importer into Nigeria in 2023. The same fellow speak from two sides of mouth. We will switch from consuming nation to producing nation. How will his importing lines be affected? He’s one of the reasons we have remained consuming nations, he should talk about the sacrifice his business will make to ensure that Nigeria becomes a producing nation. Like it was done in 2015, blind followers of Obi aren’t ready to ask questions but they will demonize others.

Throwback:
They said it and they did it.

Even Ngige dey hide his head to protect his family. He cannot openly campaign for his own party, just to avoid leaving this Earth.

But they will loud MC Oluomo, who is even 10 times better than their killer gangs

Vanguard is a PDP apologist paper, and I can read in between the lines. They have made good effort to launder Atiku’s image in this write up. But for those of us that were not born yesterday, we know he is the worst and an opportunist, disloyal, corrupt and indiscretional public servant. I do not fall for it…

Not that Tinubu and Obi are perfect. In fact, they are very flawed but I know Atiku enough not to vote for him!

It means cutting ties with everyone including relatives, friends and neighbours.
Your brother, sister, aunty, friend or uncle could be the threat, are you telling your kids to never go close to any relatives even when such relatives are under your roof?
forget this particular case, most cases of little children's rape are by close family members.
a rapist is a rapist, unless you take the kids with you to wherever you wanna go, they are never save with someone with a raping tendencies around whether the child go close to such person or not.
Let's kick and stand against such acts and stop giving excuses or reasons please

Here you miss the point again! You are responsible for the wellness and safety of your wards. Allowing your children to go and watch movie in Uncle Thomas house is overly trusting (by Uncle Thomas, I m talking of make neighbours at the market, or at home, etc).

No one is asking you to be far away from your family. And I don’t think the guy ever mentioned such. You seem to have an experience that makes you bias towards the advice.

While you condemn the acts of rapist and paedophiles, make every effort and not everyone who calls your daughter my little girl or my baby or my little wife or my son’s wife means well.

If your kids must visit another family, put in place measures to ensure that the safety of your child isn’t compromised.

That’s what we are saying!

culf:
why are you blaming the parents for your friends uncultured, evil did. some of us team small young, teenage girls in our room without thinking anything sexual. Going to his room is never an excuse, For your friend to even see a 14years sexually appealing means he is not normal.

I pray she heal fast and well from this.

See it this way - he is telling parents to take responsibility for the movement of their wards since they cannot control the stupidity and foolishness that reside in pedophiles. You can only arrest a rapist after the act of rape has been committed. Can we then protect our kids and resist the urge to overly trust uncle Jide and Aunty Chinwe ?

Kobojunkiee:
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!

You have a point but let me also bring out a perspective. Based on my knowledge of the scripture, there is a place that the dead go to after death in wait for the judgement that will determine their final destination. This place is erroneously called the purgatory by the Catholics cos there is no purging after death. But from my study of the scripture, this place has two gulfs (divide) - Paradise and hades! Paradise isn’t heaven and hades isn’t hell. But the experience of both is like heaven and hell. In paradise, there is access to the light, the glory and presence of God but in the hades, there is also access to the pain and horror of hell.

I have scriptures that gives me that understanding:

1. The story of Poor Lazarus and the rich man. Please note that this is not a parable. Read it and read the parables that Jesus told. They are different. This seems to be a real experience that mere men may not be able to comprehend so they call it parable. Luke 16: 19-31.

2. The story of the thief that Jesus responded to on the cross. He said today, you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:43.

3. Acts 2:27

4. Also, apostle Paul said that those who sleep in the Lord will rise again (with a glorious body) at resurrection and those who are yet to die will be changed to a glorious body, and we will be caught up with Christ in the sky when he returns (1 Corinthians 15 from 51).

There are other scripture but let me limit it to these. Could he have gone to paradise and return? Why I am drawing this case is that we may not be sure of His experience and it may not also be in conflict with God’s word.

These things are done by individuals pls.


The history of those two parties are well known. When the chieftains of a party take bullion vans into their homes on the eve of a major election, how do you expect Nigerians to accept that any inducement like this is from an "enthusiastic supporter" as the Op claims? I need an answer from you Oga Mynd44.

See eh! Nigerians are not as foolish as some of you think. There is a new level of political consciousness that APC's 8 years of misery and death AWAKENED Nigerians to.

Peter Obi wasn’t part of that history of the two parties?

They seriously needed money to fund their imaginary campaigns, so am not surprised even if they sent him 50k, agbados urchins are looking for funds to use for their drugs baron shaking master's in just many ways

Na everything be politics. This technology has been deployed for two years now, and you are yet talking trash. As if urchins no full your hometown. Are you sure youth no dey commot cap for your King head?

Penguin2:
Jonathan awarded this road and have been working on it before Buhari came to power.

All this nonsense eulogies for Buhari is rubbish.

That is a big lie from hell. Both Jonathan and Obj awarded contracts on this road. What was done was just fixing potholes. This is the first time since Lagos Ibadan Expressway was constructed that it was properly rehabilitated. I am not a Buhari advocate and really don’t fancy him but I only love to say the truth without prejudice.

Nonsense! Even if Adeleke was on LP’s platform, he would win. Atiku wants to latch on Adeleke’s effort to project him as the mastermind. He has always been a thief just like his Friend from the APC claiming glory that he doesn’t have. May he lose badly at the next election.

Is face id working and how much?

You haven’t really discovered God. What you have known and taught is religion and methods to appease God. They don’t work. When you find God, no one will tell you that there is God. You are the one that will tell others you have met with Him in real experience. Moreover, God is spirit, and if you are not in the spirit, you can never experience His reality and power.

My admonition: let this doubt lead you to genuine pursuit of God, His salvation, and His presence. And trust me, no pastor can give you that experience. You must find God by yourself!

Iamme01:
I was raised in a Christian home and have strongly held on to the belief that there is God but lately, with recent events, this has rocked my faith ro the core and has given me reasons to question what I believe.

Firstly, when I think about the mass killing that happened recently at owo, I cannot but question if God exists. What kind of God allows kids to be robbed of parents, parents of children, and in His assumed House for that matter. A church should at least be a safe place if we want to go by how powerful God is. He's all knowing, why didn't he avert the crisis.

Secondly, I spoke with a Friend lately who has four kids and recently separated from her husband of 18yrs. She told me how she prayed and fasted and sowed seed for God to heal her marriage but alas, nothing happened, the marriage kept going downhill and finally separation. And she said to me, God does not answer prayers.

Thr last but not the least is that for the last 5years, I have asked for one prayer point, for God to fix my relationship, this has also packed up. I prayed, fasted, sowed, believed things would turn around but sadly nothing happened. I did everything humanly possible but it seems like it was meant to fail. I'm moving on.

So I'm doing a retrospective thinking, I have seen that all the things I never strongly never prayed about happened easily for me. I also have Friends who have deserted Christianity and are still pulling their weight regardless.

This has really given me reasons to question that there might be no God afterall. I'm genuinely seeking reasons to believe there is God.

Everyone that Reno supports loses. Go and check it out… his analysis is sweet on tabloids but far from reality on ground. How can you sit in America and think you know the street in Nigeria? It doesn’t make sense!

This does not address our topic
You said no more revelation after Jesus is acceptable. This just cancelled everything Paul wrote and even the book of revelations. You keep conflicting.

The revelations of John in the book of revelations was purely a new revelation.
Much of it was given to him by an angel.
Also, Paul who wrote most of the new testament was not a follower when Christ was on earth. All his teachings came after Christ.

You said these men only revealed Christ through letters my question is, did letter writing stop?

Letter writing or encouraging of the brethren didn't stop till now. I have mentors in the faith, who wrote to me while I was still in school to encourage me to stay true to my confession of faith. Those letters didn't have to enter the Bible.

All Paul's letter only revealed Christ and same with the book of revelation. It was all about Christ before the foundation of the world, during and after the completion of the day of the Lord and His glorious reign, which is yet to manifest. Nothing in those books were outside of Christ.

Even you, you can be inspired to write a book for an assembly of young people that you nurture. Those books won't enter the Bible but they will bless lives as long as they are coming from the heart of God.

I have read books and even the sermons of Smith Wigglesworth and many revivalists of old. Their teachings blessed my life, and made me to understand the mind of Christ and the interpretation of the Holy scriptures. But they are not in the Bible. Does it make the books lest relevant. No. As long as they reveal Christ, they will always remain relevant but doesn't need to be included in the Bible again.

This will be my last response on this matter.

tctrills:
I agree with you but the scripture did not teach that Paul was the only one.
Even Mark the writer of the 2nd gospel was not among the original Apostles.
My question remains, did God stop speaking to man after the book of revelations?

It was not all the original twelve that wrote... They weren't inspired to write, even though there written evidence of their exploits and the backing of the Holyspirit with signs and wonders...

tctrills:
More than half of the new testament, Mark, Luke, Acts, Jude and all the letters of Paul where not writen by any of the original Apostles. So what is your point. Even the book of James was written by James the brother of Jesus Christ not the brother of John

Prove that Matthew, Mark and Peters letter were not written by them. I also hope you know that James the brother of Jesus Christ joined the brethren even though he didn't really believed his brother while He was in his earthly ministry... So what point are you really trying to prove...
