Religion / 3. Which Types Of Sexual Acts Are Moral Between A Husband And Wife? by Marioplus(m): 2:38pm On Oct 10, 2017
The only moral sexual act is natural marital relations open to life. The Magisterium of the Catholic Church teaches that each and every sexual act must be marital and unitive and procreative.
Pope Paul VI: "The Church, nevertheless, in urging men to the observance of the precepts of the natural law, which it interprets by its constant doctrine, teaches that each and every marital act must of necessity retain its intrinsic relationship to the procreation of human life. This particular doctrine, often expounded by the magisterium of the Church, is based on the inseparable connection, established by God, which man on his own initiative may not break, between the unitive significance and the procreative significance which are both inherent to the marriage act.
"The reason is that the fundamental nature of the marriage act, while uniting husband and wife in the closest intimacy, also renders them capable of generating new life -- and this as a result of laws written into the actual nature of man and of woman. And if each of these essential qualities, the unitive and the procreative, is preserved, the use of marriage fully retains its sense of true mutual love and its ordination to the supreme responsibility of parenthood to which man is called." (Humanae Vitae, n. 11-12).
Only natural marital relations (natural genital-to-genital intercourse) open to life has all three meanings: marital, unitive, and procreative. If a husband or wife are infertile, due to old age, or injury, or illness, the natural marital act remains moral because it is still the type of act which is inherently directed toward procreation (even if procreation is not attained). The essential moral nature of any act is determined by its inherent ordering toward its moral object, not by the attainment of the moral object.
Religion / 1. What Determines The Morality Of An Act? by Marioplus(m): 2:31pm On Oct 10, 2017
In moral theology, an act is the knowing choice of a human person. Each knowing choice is an act, and each act is subject to the eternal moral law. Some acts are moral, and other acts are immoral. An immoral act is a sinful act. Sin is a knowingly chosen immoral act.
The morality of any act is based on three fonts (or sources):
(1) the intention or purpose for which the act is done,
(2) the inherent moral meaning of the act as determined by its moral object,
(3) the circumstances of the act, especially the consequences.
To be moral, each and every act must have three good fonts of morality. The intention must be good, the moral object must be good, and the good consequences must outweigh any bad consequences. If any one font is bad, the act is immoral. If an act is immoral due to a bad intention, the same type of act may be moral with a good intention. If an act is immoral due to the circumstances, the same type of act may be moral in different circumstances.
But when an act has an evil moral object, the act is inherently immoral, in other words, the act is evil, in and of itself, apart from intention and circumstances. Every intrinsically evil act has an inherent moral meaning (the moral species) which is contrary to the moral law of God. Intrinsically evil acts are never justified by intention or circumstances because the moral species (the type of act in terms of morality) is inherently unjust.
Pope John Paul II: "But the negative moral precepts, those prohibiting certain concrete actions or kinds of behavior as intrinsically evil, do not allow for any legitimate exception. They do not leave room, in any morally acceptable way, for the "creativity" of any contrary determination whatsoever. Once the moral species of an action prohibited by a universal rule is concretely recognized, the only morally good act is that of obeying the moral law and of refraining from the action which it forbids." (Veritatis Splendor, n. 67).
Intrinsically evil acts are always immoral, and are never justified by intention, or by circumstances, or by other knowingly chosen acts.

Family / Marriage Bed by Marioplus(m): 7:40pm On Oct 08, 2017
Christian couple practising or having anal-sex,oral-sex, pornography, masturbation, three-some, sex-toys e.t.c should ask the Holy Spirit to deliver you from such EVIL
or
you are a youth already fantasizing about these ungodly activities from movies, pornographies, magazines, novels e.t.c please ask JESUS CHRIST through his Holy Spirit and Written Word of God to break you away from such bondage.
These things will lead any man/woman into hell-fire without repentance whether you are carrying anointing or you see yourself as ordinary person.
Ofcourse, sexual intimacy is STRICTLY FOR WEDDED COUPLE
thus
"Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." {Hebrews 13:4}

Romance / Suffer Not The Witch To Live by Marioplus(m): 5:02pm On Oct 08, 2017
Christians pray for the repentance of human beings they present themselves as 'enemies' {Mtt.5:43-48}
according to Jesus Christ teachings.
Christians have the ability of Jesus Christ to cast 'evil-spirits'{devil and evil-spirits} in men{wicked/possessed} or environments out to designated areas {deserts} as the angels of God bounds them in chains {Tobit 8:3} until Jesus Christ comes again to cast them into the Pit of abyss.
suffer not the witch to live; a witch is an evil-spirit not a human being so you cast the demon out of a living human being to where they belong in order to help that human being to regain as well as enjoy the liberation that JESUS CHRIST gives to human beings thus "for this was the Son of Man made manifest to destroy the works of darkness" {1 John 3:8}
JESUS CHRIST came on earth to set mankind free from the bondage of Sin and the devil, he did not come to kill human beings rather set us free and destroy the works of devil, wickedness, death, sin, evil, un-forgiveness e.t.c from our lives thus "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]." {John 10:10}
The Name JESUS means "He will deliver his brothers and sisters from Sin and bondage of the devil" {Matthew 1:21}
Those who believe in Jesus Christ also carry his Spirit to deliver others from sin, consequences of sin and the bondage placed on men by the devil thus Christians are Christ-like through consistent knowledge of His Word written in the Holy Bible.
Anyone who refuses to repent from his/her sins as well as surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of his/her life has already chosen death {untimely death/eternal damnation} by default. Anyone who tries to harm us as we follow Christ Jesus will definitely be hit by the God we serve who is a consuming fire and a jealous God {Deut.4:24} for we are the flame of his Fire {Hebrews 1:7} hence it is a serious risk for that person {'if you do not repent, you will perish likewise' Luke 13:3}. Since this decision most times are made because of Ignorance, those who have come to the knowledge of this RISKY DECISION should take part in praying for sinners/unbelievers as well as sharing the Good-News of Jesus Christ to every human being in order to allow the Holy Spirit to lead souls to repentance and genuine Conversion of Sinners.
We are therefore invited to regular meditation on the Word of God written in the Holy Bible and Consistent Evangelization to the whole world under the leading of the Holy Spirit.
May the Holy Spirit grow us in his Grace and Faith in Jesus Name. Amen.

CLOTHING AND THE DEGRADATION OF SOCIETY
by LEAH MARIE MARGARET JOHANNI in Modern day fashion, not revealing enough
It is so important that women's attire should not enhance her sexual appearance, so as to make her an object in the eyes of the onlooker but, rather, to enhance her inward beauty and draw attraction to the basic beauty of the body, as created by God. Not all men are tempted in the same way or to the same extent but, generally, that clothing which reveals mid-riffs, bare thighs, shoulder, and backs; is low cut, or see-through shirts or dresses, or dresses with long slits in them or quite fitting and very short, are all sources of temptation. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid such clothing so as not to provide any occasion of sin for the male sex. Even clothing that might cover the entire body, but is form fitting, reveals too much of the body and provides a source of temptation.
One such article of clothing that has become prevalent in the fashions of the past century are trousers. Trousers may cover the legs, but they define the legs, drawing attention directly to the place of intimacy in the woman. Within the sexual act, the woman opens her legs to receive the man into her. Trousers divide the woman's legs leading the eyes to this sacred place of self-gift. It reveals too much of the "VIRGINAL MYSTERY" of the woman, highly affecting men, even subconsciously. Presently, with this explanation, however, it can be recognized that the skirt is an important article of clothing for the woman, because it "VEILS" the holy mystery of the woman, protecting her from misuse and keeping her feminine nature precedent rather than promoting her body as an object.
Pope Pius XII commented on this, saying: "A woman may seek comfort and convenience in wearing trousers, but in doing so, she is less likely to be recognized and respected as a lady. Rather she will blend in and be treated as just another man. By dressing IN TRADITIONAL FEMININE ATTIRE women are sure to be recognized as ladies, thus eliciting the admiration and commanding the respect of men, while also glorifying their God-given femininity".

“Education: How and where we got it wrong”
Fr. Chika Okpalike
Education has become an increasing area of concern for Nigeria and Nigerians. Countless discussions have been undertaken by experts, stake-holders and office-holders on the situation and condition of education in Nigeria. Most times, it is poor funding that is often presented as the raison d’être for the poor quality, standard and furnishing of education in Nigeria. Even when the administrators and teachers are not doing well, it is blameable on poor funding. How true is this? This manner of understanding accounts for the recurring industrial action in the educational sector even when such actions defeat the argument itself. Like I have always contended, the fundamentals of education in Nigeria are wrong.
Education is a socio-cultural mechanism of integration, preservation and enhancement of life. The individual engages in a lifetime of educational endeavour in a dynamic perfection of being. Formal education is a systematic training aimed at the acquisition of knowledge or skill in general or particular fields of endeavour. In other words, education is a social mechanism belonging primarily to the society, for the good of that society by which culture is preserved, inculcated and developed; while society custodies education, culture constitutes the content of education. Logically, therefore, if the Nigerian society is flawed at the foundation, it cannot educate its citizens because there will be no content for such education.
For the benefit of doubt, let us trace our way from where we began to where we are. It took me a movement away from formal education to understand what education is after nearly two decades of continually being in school. It took me that long to make out the difference between education and going to school. What we often refer to as education is formal education or stricter still, western education; that education brought by Europeans. For the notes, before the advent of these elements, there has been education in our local communities which corresponded with the definition above.
It is important to note also that Europe, for its own ulterior, ultimate gain wanted to create a society, inculcate a culture and extend a civilization. To do this, education had to play a vital role. The idea of the school, as we know it, is an isolated space away from the community where a few members of the community are engaged and trained to fit into that new society, imbibe that new culture and foster that new civilization. As a result, the product of that isolated space looks back at his/her community of origin as flawed and its inhabitants as semi-human; considering self not fit for a continued mingling with the elements and beings of that former society. It was easy for us to begin to think that before this trend, there was no education. The education we got exposed us to a western civilization that we keep imagining, to a western society that we keep dreaming and to a western culture that we keep mimicking. In other words, this education makes us fit better into a western-styled society.
Secondly, Europe needs to train local personnel for an effective colonial administration. So it was education enough to expose them to the rudiment of what was required of them, employ them with enough reward to show for their years of training. Their education was not rooted in the local culture; it only alienated them from their natural society. Their paper qualifications became superior to their humanity; in as much as the knowledge and skill they acquired through the years afforded them means and livelihood, it is worth enough for them to give up their cultural and social identity. Education became a means of acquiring paper qualification to be employed among the crème of an emerging society. At first, they concentrated on training trainers; then teaching was the highest paying job.
As the expatriate professionals were overworked, this education began to train professionals who were taking over from the Europeans themselves – doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers and so forth. With the discovery of oil, and the explosion of a capitalist economy, these diverse professionals were needed to operate the emerging economy. It was the trend that the best of the best from the schools graduated to oil companies, banks, ministries, multi-national companies while the remnants take over the schools. As they were overwhelming the schools the remaining strictly academic took flight into Europe, America and middle-east in search of greener pastures – the brain drain era. When the once thriving public schools were ravaged, private schools began to emerge as commercial schools, that is, school-for-money. Then we thought that those of us who ended up, willingly or unwilling, outside school, doing business or skilled work were not educated. Yet they were calling the shots of functionality in the society. They made money enough to buy the teachers and professionals; enough to employ and pay them. Many of them became the beacon of hope and icon for emulation in the society. Making money, since it became a priority, took different shapes and forms because education which should preserve, inculcate and develop good culture and morals has failed; the former local and traditional education abandoned, the western education not sustainable. Even the teachers themselves engaged in making money, anyhow they can, to be like those they considered better. The restoration of the dignity of man far from being understood as ignorance paving way for knowledge became movement away from the doldrums of material poverty to acquisition of paper money whatever the worth. Then those things we used to refer to as extra-curricular became money spinners, think of football, music, drama, etc. As a result, education as we have narrowed it began to make less sense.
The sad thing is that those who discuss education in the public domain have the schools at the back of their minds. Education is much more than going to school. The older generation use to taunt us (school goers) with “Oguru akwukwo agughi uche” whenever we screw-up in culture and/or morals; O how correct they were! Unless the society is structured to function, you cannot generate a functional philosophy of education. Put 100% of our budget in education the way we understand it today, it will sink. Restructuring is not a matter of politics; it is just a way to begin. Every economy that withstood the exploitation of Europe and America restructured through national thought-pattern, local world view and philosophy to generate education beyond the boundaries of the school. The fundamental philosophy that drives Chinese education, politics, science and technology is Confucian; so is India rediscovering and restructuring itself with instrument of the Hindu tradition. Without a Nigeria, there will be no Nigerian culture, no Nigerian politics, no Nigerian education and as we speak, there is no Nigeria except the one designed to service British interest, the one that has malfunctioned at the hands of those who hold it hostage, the one whose citizens are still faced with the fundamental problem of identity. No amount of funding can resuscitate education in such a Nigeria because in this climate, no amount of money is too much to be squandered. A formidable foundation of nation building will dispose a people to the requiring sacrifices to build a culture they believe in with commensurate morality which gives education content. Restructuring is just a beginning that will jump-start an education of integration, patriotism and progress, a beginning that will generate a people for integral education which will move all sectors of the social, economic and political enterprise of Nigeria into the society of our dream. God bless Nigeria.

Romance / Education In Nigeria by Marioplus(m): 7:09pm On Oct 06, 2017
“Education: How and where we got it wrong”
Fr. Chika Okpalike
Education has become an increasing area of concern for Nigeria and Nigerians. Countless discussions have been undertaken by experts, stake-holders and office-holders on the situation and condition of education in Nigeria. Most times, it is poor funding that is often presented as the raison d’être for the poor quality, standard and furnishing of education in Nigeria. Even when the administrators and teachers are not doing well, it is blameable on poor funding. How true is this? This manner of understanding accounts for the recurring industrial action in the educational sector even when such actions defeat the argument itself. Like I have always contended, the fundamentals of education in Nigeria are wrong.
Education is a socio-cultural mechanism of integration, preservation and enhancement of life. The individual engages in a lifetime of educational endeavour in a dynamic perfection of being. Formal education is a systematic training aimed at the acquisition of knowledge or skill in general or particular fields of endeavour. In other words, education is a social mechanism belonging primarily to the society, for the good of that society by which culture is preserved, inculcated and developed; while society custodies education, culture constitutes the content of education. Logically, therefore, if the Nigerian society is flawed at the foundation, it cannot educate its citizens because there will be no content for such education.
For the benefit of doubt, let us trace our way from where we began to where we are. It took me a movement away from formal education to understand what education is after nearly two decades of continually being in school. It took me that long to make out the difference between education and going to school. What we often refer to as education is formal education or stricter still, western education; that education brought by Europeans. For the notes, before the advent of these elements, there has been education in our local communities which corresponded with the definition above.
It is important to note also that Europe, for its own ulterior, ultimate gain wanted to create a society, inculcate a culture and extend a civilization. To do this, education had to play a vital role. The idea of the school, as we know it, is an isolated space away from the community where a few members of the community are engaged and trained to fit into that new society, imbibe that new culture and foster that new civilization. As a result, the product of that isolated space looks back at his/her community of origin as flawed and its inhabitants as semi-human; considering self not fit for a continued mingling with the elements and beings of that former society. It was easy for us to begin to think that before this trend, there was no education. The education we got exposed us to a western civilization that we keep imagining, to a western society that we keep dreaming and to a western culture that we keep mimicking. In other words, this education makes us fit better into a western-styled society.
Secondly, Europe needs to train local personnel for an effective colonial administration. So it was education enough to expose them to the rudiment of what was required of them, employ them with enough reward to show for their years of training. Their education was not rooted in the local culture; it only alienated them from their natural society. Their paper qualifications became superior to their humanity; in as much as the knowledge and skill they acquired through the years afforded them means and livelihood, it is worth enough for them to give up their cultural and social identity. Education became a means of acquiring paper qualification to be employed among the crème of an emerging society. At first, they concentrated on training trainers; then teaching was the highest paying job.
As the expatriate professionals were overworked, this education began to train professionals who were taking over from the Europeans themselves – doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers and so forth. With the discovery of oil, and the explosion of a capitalist economy, these diverse professionals were needed to operate the emerging economy. It was the trend that the best of the best from the schools graduated to oil companies, banks, ministries, multi-national companies while the remnants take over the schools. As they were overwhelming the schools the remaining strictly academic took flight into Europe, America and middle-east in search of greener pastures – the brain drain era. When the once thriving public schools were ravaged, private schools began to emerge as commercial schools, that is, school-for-money. Then we thought that those of us who ended up, willingly or unwilling, outside school, doing business or skilled work were not educated. Yet they were calling the shots of functionality in the society. They made money enough to buy the teachers and professionals; enough to employ and pay them. Many of them became the beacon of hope and icon for emulation in the society. Making money, since it became a priority, took different shapes and forms because education which should preserve, inculcate and develop good culture and morals has failed; the former local and traditional education abandoned, the western education not sustainable. Even the teachers themselves engaged in making money, anyhow they can, to be like those they considered better. The restoration of the dignity of man far from being understood as ignorance paving way for knowledge became movement away from the doldrums of material poverty to acquisition of paper money whatever the worth. Then those things we used to refer to as extra-curricular became money spinners, think of football, music, drama, etc. As a result, education as we have narrowed it began to make less sense.
The sad thing is that those who discuss education in the public domain have the schools at the back of their minds. Education is much more than going to school. The older generation use to taunt us (school goers) with “Oguru akwukwo agughi uche” whenever we screw-up in culture and/or morals; O how correct they were! Unless the society is structured to function, you cannot generate a functional philosophy of education. Put 100% of our budget in education the way we understand it today, it will sink. Restructuring is not a matter of politics; it is just a way to begin. Every economy that withstood the exploitation of Europe and America restructured through national thought-pattern, local world view and philosophy to generate education beyond the boundaries of the school. The fundamental philosophy that drives Chinese education, politics, science and technology is Confucian; so is India rediscovering and restructuring itself with instrument of the Hindu tradition. Without a Nigeria, there will be no Nigerian culture, no Nigerian politics, no Nigerian education and as we speak, there is no Nigeria except the one designed to service British interest, the one that has malfunctioned at the hands of those who hold it hostage, the one whose citizens are still faced with the fundamental problem of identity. No amount of funding can resuscitate education in such a Nigeria because in this climate, no amount of money is too much to be squandered. A formidable foundation of nation building will dispose a people to the requiring sacrifices to build a culture they believe in with commensurate morality which gives education content. Restructuring is just a beginning that will jump-start an education of integration, patriotism and progress, a beginning that will generate a people for integral education which will move all sectors of the social, economic and political enterprise of Nigeria into the society of our dream. God bless Nigeria.

Romance / Scared Of Being Seduced Into Sin? by Marioplus(m): 5:42pm On Sep 23, 2017
Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the courage and boldness to persist in his Standards, Meditate on the Word of God more consistently on your own and make sure you do not miss Bible Study fellowships in your Church regularly because THE WORD OF GOD IS THE KEY FOR OUR SUSTENANCE AND GROWTH IN HOLINESS thus "we are born again of the incorruptible seed of the Word of God" {1 Peter 1:23} hence any time we stay away from the incorruptible seed JESUS CHRIST translated in his Words written in the Holy Bible we are bound to become corrupted by sin, remember every righteous man/woman is being tormented by the sins of unbelievers and they are our closest neighbors just like lot thus "for that just man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by what he saw and heard of their lawless acts), then [in light of the fact that all this is true, be sure that] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment," {2 Peter 2:8-9} but as long as you persist in meditating on God's Word, you will never yield to sin and you will not sin thus "No one who is born of God practices sin, because God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again—who is reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him." {1 John 3:9}. Download Bible application on your phone, switch of your browsing data and study your Holy Bible regularly anywhere you find yourself and your confidence in God will grow and your resistance for sin will amaze you. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Scriptures and He gives freedom and complete peace to our souls {"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Holy Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom]. And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." 2 Cor.3:17-18}.

However I still define my terms that after getting your financial dreams, impacting life in this world and you do not accept Jesus Christ as your own personal Lord and Savior before you die, that person will spend eternity in hell-fire that is why financial languages, achievements and motivational speeches alone cannot save a man's soul from hell-fire!!!

���PRAYER FOR GETTING THE RIGHT MARRIAGE PARTNER���
Father God, your word in Genesis 2:18 makes it clear that it is not good for a man to be alone. You also said in Genesis 2:24 that a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. I know, Oh God, that your plans for me are plans for good not of evil as you said in Jeremiah 29:11. Therefore, my God, connect me now to that man/woman you created to be my husband/wife. Let him/her come, and let every process that is necessary for our being united as husband and wife be fulfilled in your own time, way and place, I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Lord, I make this prayer standing on your word in Isaiah 34:16 where you said, "seek and read from the book of the Lord: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without her mate. For the mouth of the Lord has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them."
I believe what your word says that none shall lack her mate; therefore, I declare that I shall not be without a mate. Your Omniscient Spirit knows who and where my mate is, O Lord. Proceed therefore, Precious Holy Spirit and arrange that situation or circumstance that will bring us together and unite us as you have already ordained. Help us to form a formidable team that will advance your kingdom and bring glory to your Holy Name, in Jesus Name we pray. Amen!

TAKE YOUR HOLY BIBLE, STUDY IT, MEDITATE ON IT, BELIEVE EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN IT FOR YOU, BRING YOUR SPOUSE INTO STUDYING AND MEDITATING ON GOD'S WRITTEN WORD CONTAINED ONLY IN THE HOLY BIBLE, DECLARE ONLY GOD'S WORD IN YOUR LIFE AND FAMILY. TAKE DECISIONS AND ACT ONLY ON GOD'S WRITTEN WORD THEN WATCH OUT AS THE HOLY SPIRIT LIFTS YOU OUT ANY TROUBLE YOU ARE FACING. IT IS ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT CAN HELP A MAN OR WOMAN. HIS HELP CAN ONLY COME THROUGH THE DELIBERATE STUDY, MEDITATION AND PRACTISE OF HIS WORD CONTAINED IN THE HOLY BIBLE thus "The flesh has nothing to OFFER, it is the SPIRIT that gives LIFE to the FLESH, the WORDS I speak to YOU are SPIRIT AND LIFE" {John 6:63}. Do not look for HELP IN MAN that will cause you more PROBLEM thus "CURSED IS HE/SHE who trusts in MAN" {Jeremiah 17:5}, although MAN can guide you to GOD but GOD {HOLY SPIRIT} is the ONLY HELP YOU NEED WHO CAN SUSTAIN YOU IN HIS PATHWAY TO HEAVEN as we achieve OUR PURPOSE HERE IN THIS EARTH thus "But when HE, the SPIRIT of TRUTH, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." {John 16:13}. YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT the WORD OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE is THE HOLY SPIRIT OF TRUTH who alone can make you do what pleases GOD thus "The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." {John 6:63}

My prayer is that Today 1st September, 2017.
You may REPENT AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST
thus
"... “The [appointed period of] TIME is fulfilled, and the KINGDOM of GOD is at hand; REPENT [change your inner self—your old way of thinking {ISLAMIC BELIEF}, REGRET past SINS, live YOUR LIFE in a WAY that PROVES REPENTANCE; seek GOD'S PURPOSE for YOUR LIFE] and BELIEVE [with a deep, abiding trust] in the GOOD NEWS [regarding SALVATION].” {Mark 1:15}
This is not a HATE-SPEECH
this is the ONLY LOVE SPEECH ANY HUMAN BEING CAN TELL YOU.
SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS.
Sharing ram-meet and giving gifts to people is good but IT CAN NEVER PERMIT YOU INTO HEAVEN IF YOU DIE doing just that on this EARTH.
YOU must 1ST BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST as YOUR OWN LORD AND SAVIOR then can those good works become ACCEPTABLE BEFORE GOD
thus
"For GOD {THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH not your islam/muslem 'allah' created by muhammed} so [greatly] LOVED and dearly prized the world, that HE [even] gave His [ONE and] ONLY begotten SON, so that WHOEVER {ANY HUMAN BEING} believes and trusts in HIM [as Savior] shall NOT PERISH, but have ETERNAL LIFE." {John 3:16}
but if you REFUSE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND GOD this is what YOU HAVE DONE to YOURSELF
thus
"For GOD did not SEND the SON into the WORLD to JUDGE and CONDEMN the WORLD [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the WORLD might be SAVED through HIM. WHOEVER BELIEVES and has DECIDED to TRUST in HIM [as PERSONAL SAVIOR and LORD] is not JUDGED [for this one, there is NO JUDGMENT, no REJECTION, no CONDEMNATION]; but the ONE who does NOT BELIEVE [and has DECIDED to REJECT HIM as personal SAVIOR and LORD] is JUDGED ALREADY [that one has been CONVICTED and SENTENCED], because HE/SHE has NOT BELIEVED and TRUSTED in the NAME of the [ONE and] ONLY begotten SON of GOD [the ONE who is truly UNIQUE, the ONLY ONE of His KIND, the ONE WHO ALONE can SAVE him]." (John 3:17-18)
May the HOLY SPIRIT use HIS WORD to bring about GENUINE REPENTANCE OF SINS AND TOTAL SURRENDER OF ALL OUR LIVES TO JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

Sharing ram-meet and giving gifts to people is good but IT CAN NEVER PERMIT YOU INTO HEAVEN IF YOU DIE doing just that on this EARTH.
YOU must 1ST BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST as YOUR OWN LORD AND SAVIOR then can those good works become ACCEPTABLE BEFORE GOD
thus
"For GOD {THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH not your islam/muslem 'allah' created by muhammed} so [greatly] LOVED and dearly prized the world, that HE [even] gave His [ONE and] ONLY begotten SON, so that WHOEVER {ANY HUMAN BEING} believes and trusts in HIM [as Savior] shall NOT PERISH, but have ETERNAL LIFE." {John 3:16}
but if you REFUSE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND GOD this is what YOU HAVE DONE to YOURSELF
thus
"For GOD did not SEND the SON into the WORLD to JUDGE and CONDEMN the WORLD [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the WORLD might be SAVED through HIM. WHOEVER BELIEVES and has DECIDED to TRUST in HIM [as PERSONAL SAVIOR and LORD] is not JUDGED [for this one, there is NO JUDGMENT, no REJECTION, no CONDEMNATION]; but the ONE who does NOT BELIEVE [and has DECIDED to REJECT HIM as personal SAVIOR and LORD] is JUDGED ALREADY [that one has been CONVICTED and SENTENCED], because HE/SHE has NOT BELIEVED and TRUSTED in the NAME of the [ONE and] ONLY begotten SON of GOD [the ONE who is truly UNIQUE, the ONLY ONE of His KIND, the ONE WHO ALONE can SAVE him]." (John 3:17-18)
May the HOLY SPIRIT use HIS WORD to bring about GENUINE REPENTANCE OF SINS AND TOTAL SURRENDER OF ALL OUR LIVES TO JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
