[quote author=RugaTerrorist post=80850987][/quote]you want to get drunk before you criticized the pastor ?
To become a Christian is to come of age. It is to take up your responsibilities with the One to whom you owe everything. isn't it wonderful that Jesus die for your sin ? when you are justified by faith, it mean someone has already take up your case against the devil.
budaatum: "The Righteous" being the "Son of Man" mentioned in v31, and who refers to our Lord Jesus Christ, and who is "the King", right?
I'm hearing you, and I agree with you sef. It is true that I am "quoting verses out of context". Thankfully, its not sin.
Why would the Lord who had just preached the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A14-30&version=ESV]parable[/url] of sitting on your ass be calling his own disciples, "stranger", "hungry", "thirsty", "needing", "sick"?
The disciples will have fed of the Glory of the Lord for their's is the Kingdom of God already. Hardly what I would call the "least of these", at least not from Jesus who "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"
Is it not the truth that the cups of the Lord's disciples overflows and runneth over?
Is it not the 3 times duty of the disciples to feed the sheep?
Can the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ be the "least of these"?
bro, it is very wrong to quote scripture out of context. are there not Rich and poor Christians? the poor are the least, and they are the brothers of the Rich Christians . as an earthly representative of Christianity, we are all strangers to each other unless you are my neighbor .
did you know that you are teaching prosperity Gospel ?
budaatum: How can Jesus who fed those around him refer to his own disciples whom he fed more than most the "poor in Spirit", and in need? Sound like what some dodgy pastor would say to get you to feed them! Were they not eating the Bread of Life that Jesus was feeding them?
Jesus disciples can not be the "least of these"! If they are the "least of these", they must have lost their saltiness and are worthless and good for nothing. Which oddly, is what would turn them into the least of these whom I should then do unto.
No, I'm not wrong. Your God just asks of you different.
listen , you are just quoting verses out of context, the context is about the parable of the SHEEP AND GOAT, the verse you quote is that of the sheep.
The Sheep and the Goats “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of MINE, you did for me.’
Now how can you address this part as children of the wicked ? this are the children on the Right hand bro.
malvisguy212: the scripture make it clear that no one know the day or the hour of christ return.but the bible dos say that we can know the time and season surrounding his coming,you may be thinking the usual saying like... So because disease and immorality are running rampant and because there are wars and rumors of war and we have had some few earthquake that jesus is coming soon ? Yeah we've heard all that before. But after studying the bible I discover somting interesting about the end of days. Pleas read.
my theory about the end of days started when I read a verse in isaiah 46. It say that God declare the end from the beginning. A similar verse was in isaiah48. This lead me to the creation story in the book of genesis. As I study the first chapter, I began to wonder, WHY IT TOOK GOD SIX DAYS TO CREATE THIS WORLD AND REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY,WHY WOULD HE TAKE SIX DAYS WHEN HE COULD HAVE CREATED THE WORLD IN ONE SECOND, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE?I started studying the word"day" and days" I discover some interesting passages that related to this. Maby God is indicating to us how much time man would have on earth. this is the point, the bible especially the old testament is full of foreshadowing. An event that actually happen in history, also picture somting coming in the future. An example is the sacrifice of abraham and isaac, that even actually happen,and it was also a picture of what God will do to his son jesus on the cross as an offering for the sin of the world. Now why will God take SIX days to create the world? Is this a picture of somting we need to know? I think it is. In 2peter 3:8, the context was reffering to the second coming of jesus christ,the bible say that a one day with they Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand year is like a day. Psalm 90. A thousand year in God sight is like yesterday.so could it be that the six days of creation were you indicate to us the time man will spend on this earth would be about six thousand years?...the seventh day of rest picturing the thousand years millennia reign, when christ come back to set up is kingdom, the time of righteousness and peace.bible scholar have calculate from the first man adam to the first coming of christ to be 4000years,if that is the case then we are could have been living at the end of what the new testament called THE LAST DAYS. now this is the issue. God deal with time in the bible, when God measure time He dose so by seven..... 1.God created the world in seven days, with the seven day being for REST. 2according to the old testament law,the jew were commanded to REST every SEVEN days. 3.the seventh week after the passover, they celebrated a big feast of REST. 4.the seventh month of were perhaps the most important when they celebrated three of there biggest feast of REST. 5.every seventh year was the year of REST for the land. 6.every 49years ,seven times seven, they celebrated the year of jubilee, which is a year of REST for the land and liberty for the people. so it made perfect sense to me that God would set up a seven thousand year period for man to occupy the earth, with the last thousand year being a time of REST when jesus come back to set up his earthly kingdom, as spoken in revelation20.I was right when I say God deal with time he dos so by seven.the second coming of christ is the most important day in God's calendar , he want us yo know the timing .
Hosea was a prophet in the old testament, in verse 6 of that book , hosea talk about isreal, God chosen nation, who was always rejecting God.the nation was goin to be torn apart, but verse two say" after two days will he revive us , the third day he will raise us up and the we shall live in his sight"what dos this mean? When jesus come isreal reject him as there messiah , so God scatter the nation of isreal all over the world. For 1900 years there is no nation of isreal but God say after two days[ or 2000yrs] I will revive thee, and you, isreal will live in my sight: the scatter isreal became a nation in the year 1948.this is important because God is reviving the nation of isreal and they are about to live in his sight when jesus come back to set up his earthly kingdom , have you ever meet a cannanite ? How about the amorite? No because these are isreal enemies and God did not preserve them, the jew have been preserve because they are God chosen people and he must fulfill and keep his promise he made to them but the jew are still rejecting christ, for how long?after two days [or 2000years] I will revive thee and the third day you shall live in my sight.
The second coming event are about to begin, I see the same foreshadowing in exodus 19:11. God told isreal to clean up and wait for two days, the third day I'm comin down in the sight of they nation. In john 11. Lazarus died a jew, jesus waited for two days before he raise him from death, this is a picture of how God is about to turn his back from isreal for the next two thousand years [or two days] and start reach out for the rest of the world through the new testament church which he did. God dint just throw this stuff in the bible to wast space ,maby am right , maby God is tryin to tell us somtin.in matthew17:1 say that jesus tool peter, james and john up to the mountain, apart from the rest, did the thing we want to know happen up there? Yes.jesus transfigured before them and the are giving a preview of his second coming glory, now the first word of the verse was "after six days" why did God throw this in? To was space? Or is God tryin to tell us somtin that we need to know?note:the time from adam to jesus is 4,000years[4days] the time of the church period is two thousand years[2days] so could this mean after 6000yrs [6days] God will revive isreal and fulfill his promise he made to them? Hmmm am I reading to much . If am right, BROTHERS WE ARE LIVING IN THE END OF DAYS. REPENT. THANK YOU.
budaatum: "The least", are those one would have otherwise liked the least - your enemies, them that curse you, them that hate you, and them which despitefully use you, and persecute you - but for the Grace of God.
you are absolutely wrong my brother. the least are those of His disciples who are poor and in need
Matthew 25:40 King James Version (KJV) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these MY BRETHREN, ye have done it unto me.
budaatum: Not all atheists are threatened by heaven and hell since they really don't believe it exists, and believing in heaven and hell makes little difference to many Christians since its by Grace, according to some.
People sometimes say they don't need love. They hope it's a sign of strength. Sadly, all it indicates is a fear of getting hurt, and the result is a hollow life. that's the Case of Michellekabod2.
Michellekabod2: I love him for one thing....he showed his ignorance right from d beginning,so I didn't have to waste my time arguing hoping he will learn. Unlike people like jesusjnr,Olaadegbu,malvisguy,aligbagdadi etc that may sound smart at first,but later on you realise it's saw dust in their brains
hey, our argument is not to impress you or your atheists friends ,but our need is for YOU to have a POWERFUL Supernatural experience with the living God, The door to spiritual understanding is not human explanation, but supernatural revelation. It swings not on mind games but on a willingness to surrender our stubborn will to One who knows better than us .
do you know that doctors explained to smokers the dangers in cigarette ? yet, they discovered that those who smoke reportedly enjoyed it, Even when they know the danger in it.
Michellekabod2: Since I recall being alive,there has been no one,is no one, and none yet to come that was,is,and will be as dumb as the OP. CAN I unread what I just read?
take it or leave it , as long as atheism has a position for the existence of God, atheism is a religion. sport, music, etc they don't have position for God, they cannot be address as religion.
GodWrites: Imagine that I came down to earth, killed myself, just to appease myself of the sins of my chosen people. Who even made the rule that blood sacrifice is a must for the atonement of sin?
There must be a higher God somewhere, whose rules I'm living by? I can't imagine killing my only son, to appease myself for the sins of my chosen people. When i can easily forgive without such a requirement.
It's SCAM
I wept for you, is this what the Bible teach ? wise atheist indeed.
Whether this is true or not, I don't know. I decided to post it because I had a strange experience a month ago that probably proves the Internet is in the hand of the evil one.
The internet crashed last month and I have a reason to believe it was because of me. I was nearly taken away in the spirit by someone in black robe. It seems as if I was being forced by that dark entity to serve him. I stubbornly rejected and began to say out loud that I will serve GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob alone... immediately my spirit was released by the entity and the Internet crash few seconds or minutes later.
A voice began to speak to me (the first time ever I heard voices in my head ). The voice told me that the kingdom of darkness shook when I vowed to worship GOD alone. It told me that was why many sections of the Internet crash and that my spirit has been saved from the hands of that man. The voice also told me to destroy something I had on me because it's what connected me to the man in black. I haven't destroyed that stuff to this day because I am not so sure whether the voice is truely of GOD or not.
I refused to tell this strange experience to anyone (except 1 person) to avoid being mocked
Yes, you are Right, the Internet is control by demon, I've always said it.
Michellekabod2: Good evening Nairalanders, am sure you are familiar with the account michellekabod1. It has been a while since I last posted.
All these while, I have been a bit lethargic on this forum due to the fact that I have indulged in sober reflection, and learning, and most of all trying to make it up with my Creator, God almighty, the author and finisher of our faith, the great "I AM".
It obviously would shock many to the bone marrow that I, a former atheist, out of the blue decided to denounce atheism for Christianity.
Not here to coarse or coax anybody, am not an apologist. Just wanna give my testimony.
in Other word, the NIGERIAN government is saying IRAN is a terrorist NATION.
AS God order the Angel to seal the door of the Israelites against the Angel of death with a blemish Lamb blood, God will guide the BELIEVERS against Evil.
malvisguy212: As a leader, when you are truthful to your people, when answering yes or no, you don't need a jotter to take notes because there is nothing to remembered.
Truth extends to encouragement. If you speak a positive truth about all people, you never have to avoid anyone.
Truth extends to implications. If you refuse to give false impressions, you never feel the need to cover up.
It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills.
what is truthful ?
There are truths, there is being truthful and then there is the Truth. Truth is a person; KNOWING Him (not "about” Him) opens the door to Truth and becoming Truth-full.
John 14:16 “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me”
John 4:23 “A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.”
We see then that to be truthful is MORE than being full of facts, correct knowledge, good information, right doctrines, correct articles of faith or creeds. Jesus' words and deeds were not His own, they were from the Father. It is impossible to be truly honest with ourselves, others and God without being full of “THE Truth.” Jesus was a human being, yet He was not full of Himself. He expressed the Father, not Himself. He emptied Himself that He might be full of the Father's words, will, ways, and works. “God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.”
Our touchstone for Truth, must not be our creeds, articles of faith, confessions, or our church leaders opinions. Nor should our touchstone be our Bible translation. “You search the Scriptures for in them you 'think' you have life. But they testify of Me that you might have life.” No,our touchstone for truth must be Truth Himself. Nothing else will do,not even our understanding of our Bible translation.
Dear precious brothers and sisters, let us take some time today to see if indeed the adversary has fertile ground in which to plant his lies which prevent us from manifesting God's glory which comes from being filled with His Spirit and His Truth.
It is truthfulness that makes one transparent. And it is this transparency that will allow the light of the Spirit to shine through us.
happy Sunday.
. Cc Scholar8200 long time brother. hope you are fine.
Ostrogoth: Yeah, this is what I call an edifying message. The Word of Christ is truth because they are the Word of God; the divine purpose of God revealed by the appearing of Christ(2 Timothy 1:9-10) and settled in the risen Christ who is Lord of all things to the Church (Ephesians 1 vs 20-23). The Word is Life and Light(John 1 vs 4-5); it is the God ordained means of Life which we receive when we believe with our hearts and confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3 vs14-18). God bless you bruv. Interesting15 please take note!!
Omotayor123: It may be okay to applaud her but we don't know what the outcome might be... It may be good or bad
The couple involved might be somewhere loving up and living happily(we don't know how long they have been tied together) but now one person eye go clear (male or female) and we don't know what his/her reaction might be.
I have heard of a story where the wife killed herself and her 3 children after realizing she has been spell bound into the marriage.
We should be careful with this things. May God help us
BTW, I don't understand why people force love
a GOOD man or woman cannot tie someone he or she love
sulasa07: Do you know maybe someone tied them together so that they won't divorce but now all sorts of things are gona happen to dem and you won't even know what exactly you've caused in their lives.
MrBrownJay1: If you had a functioning brain, you would know.... So here is me explaining it to you like a 6yr old:
You are quick to use bible verse to look down on me, but yet never use that same bible's verse to look down on the bastards in robe (aka false prophets) who tell you rubbish every week, to defraud your donkey self
MrBrownJay1: Another deluded follow-follow sheep who is quick to quote is rubbish holy book, yet dismisses whatever doesn't fit is selfish agenda....
Here below is one of the 100s of verses that might interest you, talking about the bastards in robe you blindly follow-follow:
Matthew 7:15 15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
OR BETTER YET....
Jeremiah 23:16 16 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds not from the mouth of the Lord.
MrBrownJay1: You are talking to an intelligent person who certainly does NOT believe in imaginary invisible being in the sky, who needs to be bribed in order to enter his imaginary heaven. Don't you ever mistake me for you, mister follow-follow brainless sheep.
***spit on floor***
indeed, you are wise, an intelligent man.
Romans 1:22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
solite3: yes they complement rather than contradict. One presents how an unsaved man can be saved the other focus on what faith should yield (works)
both Paul and James illustrate their point using Abraham. Faith is NOT living unless it is OUTWARDLY Shown, Abraham was justified by Faith when he believed God that he Will be father of All nation. but to show the EVIDENCE of his Faith , he was ask to sacrifice Isaac and he obeyed.
Abraham’s life was chosen as an example because it wonderfully illustrates what kind of faith-evidencing works James had in mind.
“Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith BY my works” (James 2:18).
Paul used a time early in Abraham’s life, before he had given birth to any children, and the Genesis account declares that this was when Abraham was justified by faith.
James, while not disputing the fact that abraham was justified by faith ( James 2:23), nevertheless chose an incident in Abraham’s life which took place many years later, when he offered up Isaac. According to James, this is when Abraham showed his faith by his works
Paul and James complement each other. Paul’s focus was on the unsaved man and how he might get right with God. James’ focus was on the saved person and how he might show his faith and demonstrate the reality of his faith.
LordReed: That is a detail. Before Jesus it was goats and lambs, the main issue is moving sin to another which is what this seeks to emulate.
Yes, I was a Christian.
listen, your question is NOT Biblical ,the Bible made it clear, NO one will pay for sin. salvation is something ONLY God can do. this is what you should've ask:
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
