plaetton:your point is noted. However, billion of people cannot be wrong at the same time in believing in what you call nonsense, take for instance, the bible challenge its readers to use their mind and search for evidence wither the truth in it came from God. God wants believers to be knowledgeable , especially regarding their faith. A lack of knowledge leads to apostasy and destruction, as God Himself said to Hosea, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge." A zeal for God is not sufficient to please Him, since many Jews have this zeal, although it is misplaced since it is "not in accordance with knowledge." If going to church is what you call brainwash, many people who are interlingent than you , by now they would've left the church, don't you think so ? |
Your football club is your god . Take for instance the rich young man, he ask Jesus what must I do to be save,Jesus first list the first five law that deal with man and his neighbor, the rich man was doing good in keeping this law. but not so much with the moral law. Instead of then quoting the first five commandments to the young man,the commandments that dealt with man’s relationship with God, Jesus told the young man, “Sell your possessions and follow me.” In other words, “Your god is your money. Get rid of that and follow me.”. Remember, Jesus did not say give all, but He say HALF, so find time to worship God while you do your daily activities. Thank you. |
plaetton:so religious clown has not been challenge before, you are the first who wanted to put the challenge on religious? Alright. |
cold:Luke 22:50-51 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him. |
rezzy:I click this thread to type this. Thank you for the reply. |
plaetton:you did not answer my question in the other thread, how do you react when your loves one speak about God ? Do you insult them like you do here ? |
Scholar8200:nice one, op, even if you ignored all the questions being asked, endeavor to answer number. 5. Why did John G. Lake hand over to a native after 5 years and returned to America? What were those 5years used for? How many companies prospecting S/A gold did he leave behind? |
Revdaniel:people misinterpret biblical ominipotent of God, just because God is ominipotent does not mean God can do something that will contradicte His character, plan and purpose. Infact there are things the bible say God cannot do. Titus 1:2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, WHO CANNOT LIE , promised long ages ago, This verse is talking about God plan of salvation, God cannot lie to contradicte his plan. God cannot do anything that is contrary to His holy character. However, God can do anything that He determines to do. This is a true meaning of omnipotence, the ability to do anything that one sets out to do. Saying that omnipotence requires the ability to do logically impossible things is stupid. God cannot turn truth into a lie. Thank you. |
Not All the law in the old testament apply to christians, some law are given to the isrealite to deal with difficult situation they find themselves in, for example, this law in liviticus was given to the isrealite to test there obedient to God; Leviticus 11:4: “Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.” These laws seem to have been intended. As a test of the people's obedience, as Adam was forbidden to eat of the tree of knowledge . |
Charlesdock:read the op . Peace |
sonOfLucifer:body dey inside cloth. I don't eat chicken. |
Charlesdock:should a christian chose a day to celebrate the soul winning, because it not in the bible and Jesus did command us to do it , will you call it sin ? Have you not read in colossian 3:17 which say: "And whatever you do,whether in WORD OR DEED, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS TO GOD the Father through him." You praise God in your tribal language, you celebrate His holy name, is it a sin ? How much freedom a christian have outside the bible ? |
sonOfLucifer:marry Christmas to you too my good friend. |
KingEbukasBlog:God bless you bro |
KingEbukasBlog:to deceived himself even more. |
emrain:the op is under satanic spell but he did not know it, satan want you to believe he doesent exist. Have you ever seen a satanic trying to proved the existence of satan ? , satan want you to believe him or hell does not exist. mention HELL to him and see how he freak out. Do you know how many times I have seen a man speak in uncontrolled voice? (double voice). |
johnydon22:you keep on saying foolish things concerning Christianity, who did christians persecute ? Did Jesus force His teaching on people ? You speak lies against christians and then add it with beautiful nonsense, dint Jesus say shake the dust ? Dint He say when they reject you on this city depart ? If a christians say false things about atheism, you guys will first insult him before correction. Good atheist indeed. |
Millerz:acts on what you already know , with patience you will encounter God. The door to spiritual understanding is not human explanation, but supernatural revelation. |
Millerz:God bless you abundantly. I read your latest thread how God not answering your prayer. It is not your fault and it is not that God is not listening to you. There is something you need to know how biblical faith work, biblical faith is an active faith with character. The point is that you must be persistent in prayer to achieve result. You must have that "NEVER-GIVE-UP" when praying... When you pray and you are yet to get results,you need to continue praying. Take for example in luke ; Luke 18:1-8, "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW TROUBLETH ME,I WILL AVENGE HER , LEST BY HER CONTINUE COMING SHE WEARY ME. And the Lord said,Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily." Here is a judge that was fearless, and would not avenge this widow's adversary. But she kept asking him OVER and OVER and the judge finally gave in to her requests, lest she weary him by her continual coming. How much more you whom God love. I recommend you read this thread and God will answer you prayer https://www.nairaland.com/2318252/reason-why-prayer-not-being Maby you are in a situation were you fill like there is no way out ,you keep asking, were are you Lord? People do tough time in the desert but believe it or not God use it for Good. Help is on the way . You just have to believe. Thank you. |
PastorAIO:alright. |
PastorAIO:point out the heartless coment in what I say. |
Millerz:God is not bound to keep your time, the reason you worship God is because of miracle ? And when you feel like God is not hearing you, you give up? I believe this is not the reason you want to give up on God. Longsuffering is associated with mercy ( 1 Peter 3:20) and hope (1 Thessalonians 1:4). It does not surrender to circumstances or succumb to trial. In Galatians 5:19-21, Paul referred to our human nature as the "work of the flesh" These include “hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders”! We cannot overcome this with our sinful nature, we need the antidote of this which is the holy spirit. Paul went on to say, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peace,LONGSUFFERING kindness , goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control ” ( Galatians 5:22-23, |
dolphinheart:in 1 Cor. 8:1-13 Paul is teaching the church about meat sacrifice to idol, what Paul is saying is that a christian have PERFECT freedom over everything God had created, a christian who eat meat sacrifice to idol knowingly or unknowingly, is not a sin why ? Because the idol is NOTHING to him, and his conscience is not offended. the truth is that, the wood and bronze use to create those pagan gods were ALL made by GOD. This object mean nothing to a true christian. |
dolphinheart:concerning Food sacrifice to idol, how did Paul solve this issue ? 1 Cor. 8:1-13. |
AllNaijaBlogger:it doesent matter if you are there or not. |
dalaman:are you a hausa man ? |
witches are real, many of my brothers were killed by witches, in 1992 they came for my junior brother in our room, I don't know what woke me up that night, but I believe it is God. with boldness I say to the witch, get out from here, the witch walk backward into the wall and vanished. Two weeks leter, mysterious fire burned down the shrine in the village. |
^^^ trash. https://www.nairaland.com/2318252/reason-why-prayer-not-being There has been times in my life when I have been up and down, times when prayer seems to come easy, and times when prayer doesn't come easy at all. There is something, I think, in man that makes it hard to pray, but what is it? Why should anyone have difficulty in praying? Is it because we think that God will not hear us? That's a possibility. I've heard people speak about getting on their knees to pray and having the feeling that their prayers were bouncing off the ceiling, going no higher than the ceiling, that nobody was hearing it but them. They don't think God is actually hearing what they are saying. They may feel that way because they feel unworthy, or because they feel God is down on them. They may feel that God has somehow shut them up and won't listen to them. Is it because we don't think it will change anything? And if that's the case, is it because we just don't believe? Or that we believe that God is going to do what He's going to do regardless of what we ask? “What's the point in praying about this? I'm going to pray and I'm going to ask God to do this, but God already knows what's best, and He's going to do what's best, and I'm going to say 'Thy will be done,' and what's the point in asking because His will is going to be done anyway?” Maybe we don't pray a lot because we think it isn't going to change anything. God will just do what he's going to do whether we ask Him to do it or not. SOLUTION; Luke 11:1-2, "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say…" Now, most people can, without reading their bible, can site what Jesus said about how you are to pray. So, Jesus gives what is called “the Lord's Prayer,” but he continues, he's NOT THROUGH TEACHING THEM HOW TO PRAY! The “Lord's Prayer” is not all he said in response to the question, “Lord, teach us to pray.”the Lord prayer was just like an idea on what to say when praying , the next verse gives us the right attitude continue; Luke 11:5-7, "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee." "Jesus' listeners would have considered the response of the man who was in bed absolutely unconscionable" Luke 11:8, "I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet BECAUSE OF HIS IMPORTUNITY he will rise and give him as many as he needeth." What's going on here? Well the man's not going to go away! He's going to stay down there; he's going to keep on knocking on the door. He's going to say, “get up and get me some bread! I'm not going to let you sleep until you get up and come out here and give me three loaves of bread. The word for “importunity” in the Greek literally means “SHAMLESNESS.” Without shame. I think that's absolutely fascinating, because a modest man would say, “Gee. I asked and he didn't give me any bread. Well, I guess I better go away now because I must be causing him a lot of inconvenience.” No, he is shameless! THERE ARE THREE EXAMPLES OF IMPORTUNITY; EXAMPLE ONE Luke 18:1-8, "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW TROUBLETH ME,I WILL AVENGE HER , LEST BY HER CONTINUE COMING SHE WEARY ME. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily." Here is a judge that was fearless, and would not avenge this widow's adversary. But she kept asking him OVER and OVER and the judge finally gave in to her requests, lest she weary him by her continual coming. EXAMPLE TWO: Luke 18:35-39, "And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before REBUKE HIM, that he should HOLD his peace…" They rebuked him. They told him to shut up and be quiet! To stay out of the way.BUT Luke 18:39, "...but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me." What happens to this man if he shuts up? He's not healed. Yet, there were people there who were trying to talk him out of it, telling him to hush.He didn't hush, he kept yelling. He cried out! Luke 18:40-43, "And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."What's faith? Is it a feeling? Is it a mood? An emotion? Faith is a persistence, a boldness. It was his boldness and persistence that got this man his eyesight. It's not a mood, it's not a feeling. Think about it. Jesus said his bold, persistent, aggressive faith has saved him! EXAMPLE THREE: Matthew 15:22, "And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil." This is a Gentile woman, and Jesus did not answer her a word. Didn't say a thing to her, just ignored her! Actually, strange women weren't supposed to be talking to strange men like this. Jesus' manners may seem rude to you, but they were the norm for this time. Matthew 15:23-26, "But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, SEND HER AWAY;FOR SHE CRIETH AFTER US. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, HELP ME. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs." First he ignores her, and then he insults her! “This is not for you, you dog! This is for the children. You Gentiles are not in that category of God's children.BUT SHE KEEP ON PRESSING ON: Matthew 15:27, "And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." This is similar to what happened to a man named Jacob when he wrestled, physically, with God, and who put God in a hold and said, "...I will not let thee go, except thou bless me" (Genesis 32:24-30). He wrestled all night long and said he would not let him go until he blesses him! God even put the hollow of Jacob's thigh out of joint, and he still wouldn't let him go! These people would stand up to God, believe it or not. This woman continued to persist in the argument. And what happened? Matthew 15:28, "Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, GREAT IS THY FAITH : be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." What's he talking about? He's talking about her boldness, her persistence, her drive, her energy, her willingness to hang in there and not give up on her daughter's sake. Sometimes we can find more faith for our children than we can for ourselves. This woman certainly did. Notice Jesus' response when he saw this kind of faith, this kind of persistent boldness. He said, “I'll give you anything you want!” And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. And Jesus told her that her bold, persistent, aggressive faith has saved her daughter. Continue from the Lord prayer; Luke 11:9-10, "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." One thing you can say for sure is that a man who doesn't ask is not going to get it, a man who isn't looking for it isn't going to find it, and a man who doesn't knock on the door will never get it open. Luke 11:11-13, "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" You need to understand, the point that is being made here is not that God is a bad neighbor, the point is that if you expect to be heard of God you're going to have to knock and you're going to have to be persistent in what you do, and you are going to have to be shameless. CONCLUSION; Well, the scriptural doctrine of faith is an ACTIVE , persistent, bold approach to God. We seem to think that faith is a PASSIVE virtue; that it's a set of BELIEFS or a way of THINKING , whereas in scripture it's a way of acting! That's where, possibly, the difference may come in. |
cloudgoddess:the problem is you, if I ask you to provide proof of this, you will go and paste random verses without context as your proof. |
AllNaijaBlogger:am not in support of abusive words, but my friend, you are too bias, it is not your business when they insult his mum , but it is your business when a christian abuse your atheist brother ? shm |
falopey:read 1 Corinthians 8:4–13 Paul clarified the issue of food offer by idol, he say eating meat offered to an idol is not immoral, because “an idol is nothing at all.” An idol is an inanimate object. “Food,” he says, “does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.” remain bless. |
