No one asked him, he came out voluntarily to say that HE had healed a blind man and when we asked for details he went awol. After all his testimony can build our faith.

 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.
[Numbers 20:6]

And he [Jesus] went a litle further, and fell on his face and prayed
[Mathew 26:39]

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
[Joshua 5:14-15]

i used to hear people say dis always. when something happened you see people say its GOD, that God knows about it. they say he already knows and has programmed everything that will happen to humans. if this is true then it means if I sin now he already knows I will. it means he already knows I will create this topic today. it also means am not @ fault for any sin I commit because he has already programmed my activities and know I will sin.
I asked my boss who happens to be a pastor dis question and his reply didn't answer my question. so nairalanders I want your views on this. is it true GOD has known everything that will happen to us

I prophesy that your generation will never lack God's defence as you have defended His word today. For those who still doubt. Go on!

Is Israel a Christian nation? I thought that the Jews are still rejecting Jesus in Israel?

malvisguy212:
Atheists claim that the absence of world peace indicates that God does not exist, since it would be obvious that He would grant world peace in request to sincere prayers in this regard. Superficially, it would seem that world peace would be a good thing - something that one would expect to fall within the will of a good God.they say,since God called everything he created good,there has to be world peace,The next statement indicates that a perfect, loving God must create ä universe that is perfect. This is the statement that is false
and invalidates the argument. Nowhere does the Bible state that the universe was created to be perfect. God Himself called it "good" and "very good," but never "perfect."

The question is, dos God want world peace?.However surprising as it may seem, world peace is not part of the will of God. In fact, Jesus said that His coming would cause division instead
of peace:
"Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no,
but rather division; for from now on five members in one
household will be divided, three against two, and two against
three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against
father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother;
mother-in-law against daughter- in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." (Luke 12:51-53)

GOD WANTED YOU TO MAKE SPIRITUAL CHOICE.
God's main goal in creating the universe in which we live was not to
make a perfect place for people to live in. God's objective was to create
a temporary universe in which free will spiritual beings could make
spiritual choices. God's plan for the universe is to allow a large number of these spiritual beings (both angels and humans) to choose to spend eternity with Him. At the appointed time, God will call an end to the present universe and judge those who reject His invitation. That is the reason that we are here. We are to choose to love or oppose God. As Jesus said above, at least half of the people
will CHOOSE TO OPPOSE GOD AND TO OPPOSE THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW HIM.

SPIRITUAL CHOICES CAUSED WORLD DIVISION:
Jesus said that the division between His followers and those who
oppose Him will widen as time goes on:
"Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you
will be hated by all nations on account of My name." (Matthew 24:9)
So, the reason why there is no world peace is because most people
have chosen to oppose God and do their own thing. Jesus said that
God will allow this unrighteousness to continue for quite a while,
then bring a quick end to the persecution of the righteous:
"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred
since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And
unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been
saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut
short." (Matthew 24:21-22)
It is at this time that God will judge the world and the unrighteous.
Following this, God will destroy the universe and create a brand new one.

GOD'S CONCEPT OF PEACE:
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, did not come to give peace to the world,
but to give peace with God to the individual:
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1) This peace comes through repentance. Unfortunately, many people do
not know what true repentance means. Here is Thayer's Greek
definition of the word translated "repent":
1. to change one’s mind, i.e. to
repent
2. to change one’s mind for
better, heartily to amend
with abhorrence of one’s
past sins.

So, repentance is not simply saying a prayer and going along with
one's own idea of what is right. It is believing God and responding in that belief. The Bible states quite emphatically that individuals come to repentance, which leads to salvation. Of the many verses in the Bible that refer to the will of God, they all refer to the will of God in the life of the individual, not in regard to any kind of global effort. The Bible makes it clear that the goal of God is peace with individuals, and the He desires that all people come to this peace: This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who
desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the
truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus, (1 Timothy 2:3-5)

Choose God - don't go along with the crowd If you live to see the time of the end, remember what Jesus said. It will
seem that things are going quite well for unbelievers as the people of God are silenced by those who hate Him. When this occurs, there will be little time to choose to follow God and the choice will be difficult. However, it will be the only choice that will prevent you from being eternally separated from God and His home - heaven. Life is all about choices. God wants you to follow Jesus. I am not talking about becoming some right wing freak, just about following Jesus. Do the right thing!

shdemidemi:
Are you righteous?

Has God answered all you ever prayed for?

Which country has God blessed because of their 'righteousness'?

your explanation does not correlate with the said question.. So my fore fathers were all thrown into hell for thousands of years .until it was deemed right to come and open us to the light

truthman2012:
Don't mind them. Ablution is the practice of pagan Arabs before islam. Muhammad continued with his father's idolatrous practice but this time in the name of allah.

hero70:
"They washed and joined the congregation as the lord commanded" which religion wash their body b4 joining congregation? Think nd save ur soul b4 its late. Moses was a muslim nd so also other prophets of God.

Elkewwty:
No difference between allah and yahwe of the bible.

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD
your God is giving you that some worthless rabble
among you have led their fellow citizens astray by
encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such
cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you
find it is true and can prove that such a detestable
act has occurred among you, you must attack that
town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as
well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the
plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put
the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to
the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin
forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the
plunder that has been set apart for destruction.
Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and
be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you
and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly
promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will
be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the
commands I am giving you today, doing what is
pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

ROSSIKE:
If 'Jesus, the son of God' came to this earth and was born in the middle east in 1 AD, how come it took 2,000 years before this message from ''the son of god'' reached us in Nigeria? And then only when Europeans needed slaves and lands to colonize and loot for raw materials necessary to power their industrial revolution? Are you saying God did not deem it necessary to inform all those millions of Africans that would have lived from 1 AD to 1850 of the glorious kingdom of his son until Europeans decided just a couple hundred years ago they needed to raid Africa and loot resources? Did 'God' really 'postpone' the Nigerian introduction to his 'truth' until such a time as the Europeans needed to conquer and loot our lands, a full 2,000 years down the line, and why?

The ways of this imported 'God' are indeed strange!!

starlingleanets:
Kinda wrong bro. Christainity is a religion u can profess and may not posses but Christain is the way of life.

starlingleanets:
U said "Christainity is a way to God" and where is that written? I will tell u if u r afraid to say it "It is never written" What is written "No one commeth to the Father except through me(Jesus)" So Jesus is the way to God and not Christainity.

starlingleanets:
Backup from the scripture dat "Christainity is a relationship with God"

starlingleanets:
Wots christianity?

Ifeann:
It is difficult to free them from the bondage of Islam. But by Gods grace as they read the truth about the falsehood of Islam their hearts will soften and accept Christ. Hope u are having a nice Christmas.

Mynd44:
Events in the old testaments. Events in the new.

So the old testament is now void?

You are arguing the same bible that supports slavery ooooo

Mynd44:
So God declared that the inhabitants of the land were evil because they did not worship him and he chose to wipe them out by sending the Israelites after them just because they had other religion. Define that please....

Mynd44:
The same Bible that preaches that the Israelites should kill all the Amalekites. Including women children and animals
