oderinde11:jesus, a messenger of Allah? What message jesus preach? Allah say he gave jesus a book, were is the book? Allah did not empower jesus to perform miracle.

okeke00:how do you defined holiness? You cant meet the principle of Holiness as God ask you to, you want to interpret holiness for God, making decision for God. In all religeon ,salvation is attain by human efort, but in christianity salvation is free,Romans 6:23." For the wages of sin is death, but the gift [free] of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Christianity is God reaching out to man,abraham, issac,jacob,moses, david.this men are sherperd ,they were in the wilderness when God called them. |
Weah96:let me say this for the last time. Prayer work,God alow evil to exist for human to have the option to love or hate God,AS LONG AS GOD ALLOW EVIL TO EXIST,WORLD PEACE IS NOT BE AMOUNG WILL OF GOD.bible advice us to make peace with God. |
okeke00:is it not what you said "all i should do is just to believe?" then i ask, "why must an athiest BELIEVE there is no God?"some scientist told you ape evolve to man, and you believe without prove, but the spiritual happening around us is enough prove there is God, YET YOU WANT TO OPPOS GOD, it a choice, you believe or you passby. Thank you for your time. |
okeke00:Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name [Jesus Christ] under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Let me ask you a question, why must an athiest BELIEVE there is no God? |
Weah96:i do not say God dont answer prayer,world peace is not in the will of God,as long as evil are there,it will be difficult for world peace to come, if you start from john 14:11-12. Verse 11 say believe in God,do you believe in God? No,this choice you make will not bring peace in your family, your mum will not agree with your choice of abandon God,you will not agree with your mum choice of following God. This is the division jesus was talking about. |
Weah96:your question has no answer,because no one know were it began,how the first ever ebola case strart,or you have any idea?someone must have made a choice in other for ebola to spread,for example, an hiv paitence because he contected hiv from someone, he choose to spread it. if you make peace with God, evil will not come to you. |
God answer prayer,but the point is this, world peace is not in the will of God, because there is freewill, evil got to be there for man to choose to love God or opposed Him, the world human wish for is not in this life,bible encourage us to make peace with God.as long as there is evil and God allow evil to happen for man to have option,it will bbe difficult for world peace to happen. |
Weah96:do you know the meaning of born again?'you were never a christian |
Weah96:God grants prayers done in the "name of Jesus." "And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13) This does not mean that all prayers ending in the words "in Jesus name" will be granted - but only those that glorify the Father.sadly, in a world were people's are to make Spiritual choices causes world division,not everyone will agree with your spiritual the choice you make.they wont glorified the father. |
Weah96:yes, i can convince you, it is you who can convince your self by opening up your mind. to the truth |
ooman:yes,true testimony can change a hardened mind only if the athiest is sincer. |
okeke00:jesus died for the sin of mankind,IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL BE SAVED,how do you defined the grace of God?because jesus died for my sin,then i shuld continue sinning?bible make it clear that God reconcile us to himself,jesus is a link to Heaven,the adress,if you follow his way,you will never lost,thoes who find themself in hell chooses that way, your purpose on earth is to love or opposed God, if you love him,it's your choice if you oppose him,it's your choice,love him and spend eternity with Him, the moral law are to guide us,to live in harmony with one another which is for our benefit in this life and the afterlife to come.this world is not perfect,God want us to make spiritual choice , the choice we make may affect others,the bible advice us to make peace with God. Dont be an atheists,God is real and i have encounter Him. Thank you. |
Giitheon:ok, i understand you.thank you for your contribution. |
MissMeiya:we are all nice and good people,God created us with his image and likeness, we are god,but we dont know.satan is manipulating us. |
ultraGM:God grants prayers done in the "name of Jesus." "And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13) This does not mean that all prayers ending in the words "in Jesus name" will be granted - but only those that glorify the Father.sadly, in a world were people's are to make Spiritual choices causes world division,not everyone will agree with your spiritual the choice you make.they wont glorified the father. |
Giitheon:maby you dont understand me,God gave us the freewill to choose between good and evil,this is not a perfect world,this is like prepared your self(a refining by fire) to the place God promies those that love Him.our purpose on this universe is to love God or oppose Him. |
MissMeiya:thank you for your correction.that is all i can offer, but you understand my point? |
my good friend,i vote you.Rilwayne001 |
Giitheon:do you know the meaning of perfect?were in the bible God called everything he created perfect?God gave us the freewill, to choose, freewill include good and evil, which mean the universe is not perfect. thank you. |
MissMeiya:lady,do you know that athiest are the most wiked set of people living amoung us? Were there is God,there will always be trouble and division,i told you this before, God did not created us to live in a perfect world, he created us in other for us to love or to oppose him, the world we wish for is not here,many people abandon God not because they have a good reason,it is because they can follow the principle of God holiness, they want to defined holiness to there understanding, no matter how hard you try, there will be somthing missing in your heart, you are fighting God. please, read this thread,https://www.nairaland.com/1995965/athiest-claim-god-existed-prayer |
oderinde11:jeus did not openly say it i am God because that will be boastfull.the reason why the jews want to stone him is because he claim to be God. John 8. 48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?” 49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.” 52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon- possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?” 54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. 55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!” 58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. The quran called him the spirit and word of God,and the bible called him the son of God, what is the difference ? |
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! |
EvilBrain1:there are many evidence that jesus christ exist, the link you post ,are done by the enemy of christianity. Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (AD 61-113), or Pliny the Younger, was the governor of Bithynia (AD 112) and a Roman senator. He wrote to emperor Trajan asking for guidance on how he should treat the Christians in his province. Reference To Jesus Christ Christians were "meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verse a hymn to Christ as to a god, and bound themselves to a solemn oath, not to do wicked deeds, never commit fraud, theft, adultery, not to lie nor to deny a trust. Conclusion This reference reveals several key things: 1) Jesus was worshipped as a god. 2) Christians met on a fixed day of the week. 3) The meeting occurred before sunrise. 4) They sang songs to Christ. 5) Christians were committed to holy behavior. |
[quote author=tola9ja post=27950780][/quote]sword,to do what with it? Who did jesus killed with the sword? .Bible liken the word of God as a sword,the word of God can cause division in a family,if a member of a family decided to follow jesus,and the rest of the family forbid him or her, it's mean the word of God has cause division amoung the family. |
timmy2409:Author's Background Flavius Josephus (AD 37-100), was born into a priestly Jewish family. He was a Pharisee and a historian for the Roman empire. He wrote several famous works, among them are: Antiquities of the Jews and the Wars of the Jews. Historians say Josephus was not a Christian. Reference To Jesus Christ Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man. For he was a doer of surprising feats - a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct to this day.* - Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 18.3.3 Josephus bears witness to John as having been a baptist, and as promising purification to those who underwent the rite. Now this writer, although not believing in Jesus as the Christ, in seeking after the cause of the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, whereas he ought to have said that the conspiracy against Jesus was the cause of these calamities befalling the people, since they put to death Christ, who was a prophet . . . - Origen, Origen Against Celsus 1.47, see footnote [1] Josephus, at least, has not hesitated to testify to this in his writings, where he says, ". . . For the Jews slew him, although he was a most just man - Eusebius. Church History of Eusebius. Conclusion: This reference reveals several key things: 1) Jesus was known as a wise man and was highly regarded. 2) Apparently Josephus is referring to Jesus' miracles. 3) Jesus was a teacher of truth for many Jews and Gentiles. 4) Jesus was killed on a cross by Pontius Pilate. 5) Jesus appeared alive the third day after being killed. 6) Predictions by the prophets came true in Christ. 7) Jesus is the Christ or Messiah. |
Rilwayne001:Matthew 19:29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold(in this life) AND will inherit eternal life(inherit eternal life for obedience of the gospel) . And every one that hath forsaken houses : In the days of Jesus, those who followed him were obliged, generally, to forsake houses and home, and to attend him.the disciples has family,but they forsake them and follow jesus. For my name's sake : From attachment to me. Mark adds, "and for the gospel's;" that is, from obedience to the requirements of the gospel, and love for the service of the gospel. Shall receive a hundred-fold - Mark says "a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters," etc. A hundred-fold means a hundred times as much. These are not promised as a part of the reward; but amid their trials and persecutions they should find reward and peace. Luke 18:29-30 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more IN THIS TIME, and in the age to come eternal life.” Philippians 3:8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Mark 10:29-30 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. Matthew 16:25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 1 Peter 4:14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. Matthew 10:37-38 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. |
tola9ja:i dont understand your explanation,it dosent make sense, however,how do you defined womanizer? Muhammad married more than 13 wifes,even married the wife of his adopted son,had sex with slaves,is it not an acts of womanizer? Or do you have any other explanation for this? Solomon is not a prophet,you cannot be a king and then be a prophet at the same time, 1 Kings 11:1-5 Solomon’s Wives 11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done. Solomon worship other god, but he later repent, God prophet dont do like this,when a prophet encounter the True God, does it make sens to you that he will abandon the God he here from,and go after other god? Nevertheless,solomon here from God,but because of the beautifull women he meet everyday,he was lead astray by them.a prophet dont put himself in a relationship with woman,bible say "a man born of women is full of trouble" |

[quote author=tola9ja post=27923971][/quote]you did not explain anything, i dont even understand your point,the only explanation i got was when muhammad sanction the killing of a pregnant woman,What cruelty! What injustice! Muhammad approved the killing of a pregnant mother and her unborn child just because the killer said that she had insulted him (Muhammad). What an evil man. This ruthless egotistic man claiming to be a prophet of God unjustly approved the murder of a pregnant woman just because someone said she insulted him. Will a true prophet of God condone the cold-blooded murder of a mother and her child? Does not the murder of an innocent child matter to him? A double murder has been committed and Muhammad did not even bother to investigate to ascertain whether this murderer was lying to escape punishment. Let us now see how Jesus responded under an even more serious act of wrong committed against him. See how he reacted towards those who came to arrest him, which summarily resulted in his death by execution. Compare now the malicious hatred of Muhammad with the contrasting quality of outstanding love displayed by Jesus. When a great crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests came to arrest Jesus, one of the disciples of Jesus tried to defend him. Let us follow the narration of this account in the Bible: Matthew 26:51: With that,one of the companions of Jesus drew out his sword and struck the slave of the high priest and took off his ear. How did Jesus react? Matthew 26:52-53: Then Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword. Do you think that I cannot call on to my Father to supply me at this moment more than twelve legions of angels? Jesus did not condone the violent action of his disciple just because it was done to protect him. In fact, he rebuked the disciple for his rash action. More than that, he lovingly healed the injured ear of the very man who came with those who wanted to arrest him. Such is the love of Jesus Christ. Think, how strongly Jesus would have reacted, if his disciple had instead killed that man. If Jesus did not even approve the injuring of that man, would he condone the murdering of him? Never! |
