musKeeto: Matthew 19Though the Lord Jesus Christ was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich" (2 Cor.8:9). Christ became poor for us, that we might become rich IN HIM. The poverty and wealth spoken of in this verse could be taken spiritually. But the context in which the verse appears indicates that the Holy Spirit is speaking of material poverty and material riches as well. What does it mean "to be rich"? It does not mean having plenty of money and property, but rather having enough to meet our needs and some extra to help and bless others with. Being rich is described in Revelation 3:17 as "having need of nothing". That is how God is rich. God does not have silver or gold or a bank account or even a wallet. But He has need of nothing. Jesus was not poor when He was on earth, for He had "need of nothing". He could even provide a meal once for about 10,000 people - 5000 men, and a number of women and children (Matt.14:21). Only a rich man could do that! He had enough money to pay His taxes (Matt.17:27). He never had to borrow money from anyone at any time. And He even had enough money to give to the poor ( John 13:29). Jesus once said, "The poor you have with you always, but you do not always have Me" (Matt.26:11). There He contrasted Himself with the poor. On another occasion, when Jesus told a rich young ruler to give all his money to the poor, Jesus was certainly not including Himself also among the poor to whom the money was to be given!! No. It is clear that Jesus was rich when He was on earth in this sense: He lacked nothing. The early apostles too were not poor. When they told the believers "to remember the poor" (Gal.2:10), they were not asking the believers to remember them!! No. Those apostles may not have had silver and gold (Acts 3:6). But they had all that they needed. In this way they were rich like their Master before them. That is how God wants us to be rich too. But we see that Jesus did become poor when he hung on the cross. A poor man is described in the New Testament as one who has "threadbare clothing" (Jas.2:2). The poorest beggar we have seen usually has at least a torn rag around his body. But Jesus did not have even that when He was crucified. He was stripped naked and crucified. He really became poor for our sakes, when He was crucified. Jesus became poor on the cross, so that we might become rich - or in other words, that we might have "need of nothing" in our lives. God has not promised to give us all that we want, but all that we need (Phil.4:19). Wise parents do not give their children all that they want or ask for, but only all that they need. So with God too. The old covenant promised earthly wealth to those who obeyed the Law. But under the new covenant, God promises that if we seek His kingdom first and His righteousness, He will give us something even better: Everything that we need for life on this earth (Matt.6:33; see also 2 Pet.1:4). The Bible clearly teaches that riches are both deceitful and uncertain (Matt.13:22; 1 Tim.6:17). So it is dangerous to desire riches or to long to have more and more money (1 Tim.6:10). But God's promise is something far more glorious: He will always give us "all that we need, according to his riches in glory IN Christ Jesus" (Phil.4:19). Do you find you cannot make ends meet with the salary that you earn? Since God draws everyone's financial boundaries, it is impossible for Him not to give His children enough for their earthly needs. Your lack must then be because the blessing of God is not on your life. Maybe you are lazy, or wasting money, or living in a selfish way, violating God's laws. If you are rich towards God, God will be rich towards you as well. Let me tell you the good news of the gospel: It is not God's will that His children should live with constant financial lack in their earthly lives. However high the cost of living may be, those who seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first in their lives will always find that their earthly needs are met. If that does not happen, we would have to say that Jesus was a liar - for that is what He clearly promised (Matt. 6:33). Jesus became poor - so that we might be rich. So we need never live with a lack in our lives. We need have no fear about the future - either for ourselves or for our children. Jesus has purchased the provision of every earthly need for us and our family-members - on the cross. Unfortunately, money-loving preachers (especially in the last thirty years or so) have exaggerated and misunderstood this truth and turned it into an excuse to preach a "prosperity-gospel" - teaching that Jesus came to make us wealthy millionaires. That is a falsehood and a misrepresentation of the truth. God has not promised us wealth in the new covenant, but something far better - all that we need. |
tola9ja. Read this. Who say Quran is God's words ?I believe Quran is not God's words but the words of Muhammad. What make me say this? Iam a Christian that believed in searching for the truth as a way of salvation. Actually, i believed in Bible but i still want to learn about Islam. In quest for this, i read the English Quran to see if its a true book of God. On 24 of July 2014 i finished the reading of Quran without Saadah and these were what i discoverd that made me says Quran is not the words of God but the worlds of Muhammad. 1.If you have read the Bible before and you really understood what you read you would agree with me that Quran isn't God's words because it is not sound like words of God. The Quran used the pronoun such as our, we, he when refers to Allah.To me,Quran sound like words of advice or explanatory words rather than the report speech that it should be.Look at this statement from Quran and tell if it sound like Allah's words or report speech " This Quran is not such as can be produced by other than Allah, on the contrary it is a comfirmation of (revelation) that went before it and a fuller explanation of the book where in there is no doubt it from the lord of the world " (Yunus 4:37) whose statement is the above statement? Even, if it is God's words, why would God commends Quran to the extence of saying " there is no doubt its from the lord of world" who is doubting? Who is speaking ?Who is the lord of the world? Also look at this Or do they say " he forged it" say bring then a surah like unto it and call ( to your aid) any one you can beside Allah if it be ye speak the truth" (Yunus 4:38) was/is Allah in arguement with the people he created? Another Has the story of Moses reached thee? (Those who pull out 2:15) was Allah questioned Muhammad or Muhammad questioned people? 2 the Muslims claimed that Muhammad was not a learner and that Angel Gabriel appeard to him and asked him to read. That is the only time Muhammad claimed he saw an Angel. Muhammad claimed that, he was not a learner and that people said "he forged Quran and the people they are pointing to that he teaches him (Muhammed) was christian but he does not understand arab" In another verse of Quran he says, the christians had testified to Quran that it is like the other books that Allah sent and if people doubted it they should ask them (christians) Muhammed heard the Christians when they said Quran is like other books revealed by Allah, but Quran does not say the language in which they communicated to Muhammad. These shows that Muhammad had Christians around him when he was alive and they can communicate with him. Muhammed claimed he received messages through inspiration " say iam man like you it reveal to me through inspiration that your God is one God" (Ha Him 1:6) " Allah sent his Spirit of inspiration to all his servant" (The believer 2:15) the definition of inspire is to fill with the urge to do something or to creat a filling in a person according to dictionary meaning i believed many things we human being are doing in life are by inspiration. The authors can not write a book if not by inspiration, the musicians cannot write music without been inspired, when you are inspired by the beauty of woman you can write poem . The woman who said she was God, what inspired her? Inspiraton required deep thought. Muhammed source of inspiration cannot be verified or confirmed. When God speaks to Moses Moses heard his voice, the Isaelite during the Moses time heard the voice of God, Samuel heard his voice ,God speaks to some prophets in their dreams, some of the prophets heard the words of God and they were inspired by Holy Spirit to say what they heard. The apostles were inspired by Holy Spirit. How dn we know they were Inspired by Holy Spirit? We know because they revealed the hidden truths in the scripture. The Bible told us of sarmaritan Queen who was reading Scripture from the book of Isaiah but did not understand what she was reading but Philip with the help of Holy Spirit was able to explain it to her and his explanation match with what was happened .Paul with the help of holy Spirit was able to explain how Jesus died for our sins in accordance with the scripture but Muhammed's inspiration denied others prophets writtings. Muslims should tell us why they believed in Muhammed's source of inspiration? 3 Muhammed desires and intetions were what Muhammed made to be the words of Allah - Muslims said Muhammed was not speak of his own desire but what Allah revealed to him but the Quran and Hadith proved this wrong. Because Muhammed speaks of his own desires, that is what make Quran useless without Hadith. Its the hadith that explained Quran. is it surpose to be like that? Hadith that is words of men explained Quran that is the words of God. and the Quran is said to be the book that Allah sent down. That is funny. Look at this verse of Quran. " O ye who believe! Enter not the prophet house until leave (permission) is given you. For a meal (and then) not (so early as) to wait for it preparation but when you are invited, enter: and when you have taken your meal, disperse, without seeking familiar talk such (behavious) annoyed the prophet: he is shy to dismiss you but Allah is not shy (to tell you) the truth.And when you ask (his ladies for anything ye want ask them from before a screen that make for a greater purity for your hearts and for their. Non is it right for you that ye should annoy Allah messenger, or you should married is widows after him at a time. Truely such a thing is in Allah sight an enormity " ( the Allies 6:53 i think the above issue should be the decission of Muhammed alone .why did Muhammed have to involve Allah. To me Muhammed lied against Allah.He was shy to tell them that he does not like their behavious and he knows that if he speaks in Allah's name to them, they would fear and not see him as a man with bad temper. Humm! He married so many widows in the name of been nice to them but, he does not want any man to share of his wife even when they become widows. Hadith gave many accounts of Muhammed using his intentions and desires to be the words of Allah. The verse on his adopted child (Saheed) was his desire, verse on woman Muhammed could married (Zainab) was his desire ,the facing of mecca(kaaba) when praying was his desire, the Satanic verses (to unite his tribe) was his desire and many more. Allah in Quran always sent verses of Quran in favour of Muhammed. what a lie ! 4. No Hadith no Islam - Quran is not in detail ,it will leave us with qestions when reading it without knowlege of Hadith. many of the doctrines of Islam are based on Hadith, what would Muslims use to preach without Hadith? which prayer do Muslims have to use without hadith?Let take this for example. There is no where in Quran that mention or list 99 names of Allah. What Quran says in similar to that is that, we should call Allah all the beautiful names we know. If this should be the case, then, the names of Allah can be more than 99. Hadiths are useful in Islam , also they exposed the lies of Muhammed. That is why Muslims called some hadiths fabricated Hadith and Some Authentic Hadiths. Many of the writters of Authentic Hadith were also the Writers of Fabricated Hadiths even Aisa one of the prophet wives fabricates words. Who do we have to trust? 5 Repetitions in Quran- if repetitions are to be removed from Quran, i think the suras would remain in Quran should not be more than five suras. Why would God continued to repeat thesame words in so many times? If Muhammed was not have intention to make Quran look like Bible why repetitions of words? What was the idea behind the title of each Suras if Muhammed was not jealous of Jew and envey of Bible? If Quran is really God's words,i think the title of Quran suras should be Muhammad like Isaiah,Jerimaiah in Bible.Did God/ Allah tells Muhammed to use those titles for Quran's Suras? Take notice of repetitions in Quran when next you are reading it,you we understand what i mean. We are still on repetition in Quran. I found something funny in Quran and i want the Muslims on this thread to tell me if it was person that transliterated the Quran i read that made the Mistake or not.What i found was that,The sura Sandhills and Sura Muhammed has thesame content also Sura The Banishment and Sura The Examine One was thesame in content. If it was not mistaken,should what God sent down be like that?Who made that mistakes God or Muhammed or those that compiled it? 6.Sura the Cave -Muhammed was not certain of the numbers of the Youth in the story of the cave.He said "... some say they were three the dog be the fourth among them, other say they were five, the dog being the six doubtfully quessing at unknown (yet others) say they were seven the dog being the eight.Say then my lord knoweth best their number.It is but few that knows there (real case) Enter not into controversies concerning them ,except on matter that is clear,nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the sleepers. The Cave 3: 22 what does Muhammed mean by"some" is it not Allah that revealed the story to him? Why not knowing the numbers of the youth in the cave?"my lord knoweth best their numbers" those words shows that it was'nt God that revealed the story to Muhammed. I trust my God, God of Abraham, God that reavealed the dream of Pharao to Joseph wthout go and come, he revealed the dream of Nheibuckadinazary to Daniel I heard that the story was asked to test the prophethood of Muhammed and it took Muhammed fifteen (15) good days to answer and when he answerd see what he was saying. Why can't Muhammed be sured of their numbers? 7. 'They ask you about this , Say..... ' - I hate that statement in Quran. Is Allah or Muhammed teaching his followers how to tackle Christians and Jews? This shows that Muhammed knows himself to be a liar. 8. The Quran made mentioned of these prophets. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and his eleven brothers(not by names) Moses, Aaron, Zakariah( John the Baptize's father) , Elias,David Solomon, John the Baptize, Jesus. To confirme the Scripure that was sent before Quran but Allah /Quran/ Muhammed did not make mention of Many prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremaiah, Ezeikel, Nehemaiah, Malachi, Zechariah ,Amos. Were they not Prophet of God? Allah /Quran/ Muhammed tells the Stories of Adam, Abraham, Mose Aaron And Pharao, the Thamud ,add, Sodom and Gomarah, Mary, John the Baptize ,Jesus ,to confirm scripture before Quran but what about the prophecies of the above prophets that Quran did not mention were they not from God? And if Muslims would talk , they would say Quran is not a story book. 9. The parables in Quran- cannot be compared with Bible's parable . How could God almighty gives those childish tale as parable. It proved Muhammed to be a liar. 10. Muhamned the loveth prophet of Allah, whose Allah has forgiven his past, the present, and the future sins. The man that would interceed for Muslims on the day of judgement. The man who knows what God would say on the day of Judgement and how God would judged the sinner. I just can fathom why Muhammed deserved the merit he gave to himself over other prophets. In a nutshell, Muhammed was self proclaimed prophet that envey the Jews because both arab and Jew were decsendants of Abraham. He created his religion to save arab of shame of not having a single prophet. |
tola9ja: 1. God is satisfied with his worksgive me one verse where God contradict himself. |
Sirniyeh: .you mean the word from my mouth is the word of God? Bible say"it was not what go into a man that defies a man, but what comes out of him" so now you mean the word that comes out of my mouth is the word of God? Maby, the way you define god, his not holy, because man has a sinful nature now if what comes out of a man is the word of God, those that mean God is not holy? [Godforbid]. I will agree with you that man is god according to Genesis1:27, but when man sin, he lost the godliness in him. That is why jesus was born of the spirit of God, so that man can adopt back the nature of godliness through jesus. |
Sirniyeh: Dear Brethren,well, I don't know were you guys come from, let me not say to much.when they say WORD OF GOD, what dos it mean? Is the word OF GOD not holy? |
onetrack: I don't think Jesus made that claim anyway. I believe that he really thought he was going to free the Jews from the Romans within his lifetime. When the Romans put him to death I think he was genuinely surprised to find out that he wasn't the messiah. The notion of a messiah coming is all mythology anyway...the jew expect the messiah to restore the kingdom to them, they thought the messiah will fight war and restore the kingdom to them. Read acts1:6-8."6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, LORD WILL THOU AT THIS TIME RESTORE THE KINGDOM BACK TO ISREAL? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.notice the reply of jesus, meaning God will use them to reach out to the world through the new testament church. But the jew don't understand it, they want to rule as God chosen nation, that is why they reject jesus.only one disciple know who jesus realy is, that was peter. |
macof: I never said Yahweh doesn't exist. The deal here is where I know the true nature of Yahweh as it was in the old days of Canaanland, you have fallen victim to several lies Jews have been peddling over the last 2500yrs...and this is simply because you don't have the basic urge to read books (including ur Bible), travel around and ask questions, all you lost Christians do is listen to your criminal pastors.I never say cannanitie and the ammorite dint exist, they do the simple question is, why is there land been taken?they are in isreal, yes, but were is there land? Isreal,why did they allow isreal to possessed there land? the answer is,God give the israelites there land. Simple, know doubt your question has been answer. If you don't believe in the bible, well that your problem, one thing for sure, GOD HAS BEEN REAVELING HIMSELF TO THOUSAND UPON THOUSAND,EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU WILL FACE JUDGEMENT WHEN YOU DIE, BUT ME I DO NOT HAVE ANYTIN TO FEAR IF I DO NOT WORSHIP YOUR IDOL. Thank you for you time. |
macof: Bro I wouldn't like to shift to history outside the Bible, because the name Yahweh doesn't exist outside the Biblesayin Yaweh dosent exist is like an athiest sayin God dos not exist. know doubt they exist because satan will do his best to preserve his children, but know this, why is the land been name after the house of jacob[isreal]?since it is there land, why the land has not been name cannan as it was from the beginning until when God told them[the israelites] to take land? As my brother truthman said, let me not was my time. Am not an educated boy, I drop out of school, long story, but when am in school, I did very well, but you, an educated fellow allow ignorance to blind him, Soooo sad, anyway, thank you for you time. By the way, the christian in Yoruba land, were your pagan god is from, why is the christian population much more than your pagan god? Or is your god still sleeping? |
macof: You do realize most clans in today's Israel are mixed, mixed with Canaanites, mixed with East Europeans. and there are still some pure Canaanites in Palestine and Jordan (I think pagan 9ja would know more about this)you don't even know what you are talkin,the land isreal possessed now, is it not the land of the cannanitie? Where is there iron chriote, why they did not use it to fight the present israelites? God preserve the israelites but destroyed the cannanitie. If you meet a cannanitie, ask him about his land. |
Angel196: Well u have never came across any doesn't mean they don't exist. I belong to many religious debate groups on facebook n i've come across many christians who go as far as calling other christians with different faiths disbelievers. I've come across many who say mary is greater than god cos she's the mother of god n deserves to be worshipped. I don't say something i've never came in contact withyou are a lier, mary is favour, not god, can you show me were the bible say mary is god? |
macof: Pls address all of my posts.judges 1:19.1:9-20 The Canaanites had iron chariots; but Israel had God on their side, whose chariots are thousands of angels, Ps 68:17. Yet they suffered their fears to prevail against their faith. About Caleb we read in Jos 15:16-19. The Kenites had settled in the land. Israel let them fix where they pleased, being a quiet, contented people. They that molested none, were molested by none. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.Notwithstanding were are the cannanitie and the ammorite?these are isreal enemy, they were no where to be found, but uptill today, you will always here isreal,why? Because they are God chosen people, the book of hosea chapter 2, God say he will scatter isreal after two days[two days is the same as two thousand year in God calendar, 2peter2:8, psalm90]and on the third day he will gather isreal,why? Because God want to reach out to the rest of the world through the new testament church with he did, in the year 1900 there is no nation of isreal, but in the year 1948,the scatter isrea became a nation. God preserved them, but the same cannanitie in the book of judges1:19 was not preserved. Truthman2012. Has already give you the answer . |
babyosisi: The woman looks like a gay woman while at SanfordGod bless you lady. |
Missy89: Lol.if it seem to you that am angry, o woman, you are Soo wrong,I wish you know me more. I do not ask you to be a christian, it is not my issue, it between you and God,my own is to make sure the gospel reach the entire world and then the end will come. |
tola9ja: CLARIFY YOURSELF YOU THAT YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY WAKE INTERPRET IT FOR US IMAGINE GOD SAY RUMOUR1corinthians1:18.For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Verses 18-25. - The nature of true Christian preaching. Verse 18. - For the preaching of the cross; rather, the word of the cross. To them that are perishing; rather, to the perishing; to all those who are now walking in the paths that lead to destruction (2 Corinthians 2:15). To them it was foolishness, because it requires spiritual discernment (1 Corinthians 2:14); and, on the other hand, human wisdom is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19). Foolishness. It shows the heroic character of the faith of St. Paul that he deliberately preached the doctrine of the cross because he felt that therein lay the conversion and salvation of the world, although he was well aware that he could preach no truth so certain at first to revolt the unregenerate hearts of his hearers. To the Jews "the cross" was the tree of shame and horror; and a crucified person was "accursed of God" (Deuteronomy 21:23; Galatians 3:13). To the Greeks the cross was the gibbet of a slave's infamy and a murderer's punishment. There was not a single association connected with it except those of shame and agony. The thought of "a crucified Messiah" seemed to the Jews a revolting folly; the worship of a crucified malefactor seemed to the Greeks "an execrable superstition" (Tacitus, 'Ann.,' 15:44; Pliny, 'Epp.' 10:97); yet so little did St. Paul seek for popularity or immediate success, that this was the very doctrine which he put in the forefront, even at a city so refined and so voluptuous as Corinth. And the result proved his inspired wisdom. That very cross became the recognized badge of Christianity, and when three centuries had elapsed it was woven in gold upon the banners and set in jewels on the diadems of the Roman empire. For had not Christ prophesied, And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me"? Unto us which are being saved; who are on the way of salvation. The same present participle is used in Luke 13:23; Acts 2:47; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Revelation 21:24. It is the power of God. Because the cross is at the heart of that gospel which is "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (Romans 1:16; Romans 8:3), though many were tempted to be ashamed of it. It could never be a carnal weapon of warfare, and yet was mighty for every purpose ( 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5). |
tola9ja: Can god say something like theseyou are spiritualy dead, sorry. |
Missy89: They were both different. that is why i asked which is which. because if the first was broken, the second should be the same with the first.so, what your point? God gave moses the ten commandment and in exodus gave him another law,so what? Did the second law favour sinner's? The bible say"to him who know what is right and dos no do it, to him it is sin" in the ten commandment, is there anytin like "thou shall not look at a woman and lust after her in your heart?"no. But in the new testament jesus say , it wrong for a man to look at a woman and lost after her in his heart, because this law was not in the ten commandment, those that mean jesus is wrong? Am very sad the way people interpret bible just to find excuse to abandon christianity, but know ye this that we will all face judgment, the one you pice , you will face him, anyway thank you for your time, STAY ALIVE, AMEN. |
Emusan: Abi oooo my brother no wonder there's no single respond since the thread has been opened.I will give him, the same grade with muhammad......... we all know the level of education muhammad reach. maby muhammad and allah is the same person. |
Missy89: I asked you a very simple question.exodus 20 was the first, moses broke it, is there any contradiction in the both,? Why not post it. Thank you. Stay blessed my sister. |
truthman2012: God bless you bro. Good to read from you.God bless you.islam is another way satan want to you to mislead mankind in to enternal demnation,satan sink our solid foundation through adam, glory be to God, he send his only son in other for man to start his new foundation, satan try again to dececive jesus when he tempt him, glory be to God he fail, but when he come to muhammad, because muhammad was a sinner, satan succeded in deceiving him, but thank God jesus has all ready conquer satan, our foundation is in christ jesus, the sinless one. Good to here from you, stay blessed. |
LagosShia: i wont derail into another red herring. just for your info, Adam (as) was sinless. but that is another topic.you mean adam is sinless? This is the first time am herein this,give me verse. |
tbaba1234: So at the time of the giants, there were no children of God on earth.yes,that why eunuch was taken,bible even give the reason why eunuch was taken, because the people wickedness is to much. do you think God will send down flood on his children's ?God even give them the grace to repent but the fail to here the noah. The man of sin cannot dwell in a world of truth, first, the righteous will be taken just like eunuch, then the man of sin will reveal himself, the son of perdition , the fallen angel. God has destroy this world two times, first , with flood, why? Because the wickedness of man is too much.nowadays, you see wickedness is abound, just like The day of noah. Second with fire, why? Because of homosexual, nowadays, homosexual has become rampant, everytin is becoming as it was from the beginning, am not agueing with you, but am preaching,I look for option, there is know better way to defect the devil than the way of JESUS CHRIST.thank you for your time. |
