Going through a laser is not a genuine way to please Jesus. Genuine faith lies in the heart. According to Samuel 16:7 - - "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart".

If he truly accepted Jesus as Lord those tattoos in his body would have helped a lot to convert many interested persons because they serve as real evidence that he was once a gangster so by the time he is preaching most people who wants to stop their children from becoming a cult member or gangster will invite him to come and convince their children on reasons why such doesn't bring happiness.

If he was happy being a gangster would he have subjected himself to Christ Jesus?

Well that's our own way of reasoning a former gangster also became one of us but he was always sad seeing all these tattoos in his body so he said:

"I wish i could turn back the hands of time"

He kept regretting not until he met a young upcoming gangster who knew him back then in the streets while preaching from house to house.

This young man immediately accepted a free home Bible study.

WHY?

He said this newly converted believer was his role model but he tried to find him so as to learn from him only to see him now at his door preaching and teaching about God's Kingdom!

Of course if the tattoos has been removed he couldn't have recognized his former role model because it's those tattoos that makes him looks real! 😟

But it's God himself that now announce that everything in heaven and on earth excluding the Father should worship him (Jesus).

Are you being serious right now?😂

No human society is raised as atheists the idea came when people couldn't find answers to life's big questions like:

*How did life begin?
*Why are we here?
*Why do innocent people suffer?
*What happens when a person dies?
*If everyone wants peace, why is there so much war?
*What will happen to the earth in the future?

Mankind since thousands of years have searched for God and since they can't find him anxious individuals out of frustration concluded there is no God!

But what wise step did the Bible give us to follow in order to get answers to these questions?

My son, if you accept my sayings And treasure up my commandments, By making your ear attentive to wisdom And inclining your heart to discernment;  Moreover, if you call out for understanding And raise your voice for discernment;  If you keep seeking for it as for silver, And you keep searching for it as for hidden treasures;  Then you will understand the fear of Jehovah, And you will find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5

From the above scripture the advice we got says there is no knowledge in trying to figure out things all by yourself rather you should speak to as many as possible regarding what you want to know about God! Matthew 7:7-8

WHY?

Because God will not open the sky and start talking to each and everyone to prove anything rather He will send out His faithful servants to enlighten others.

The funny thing about atheists is that this guys won't take their time to make research by humbly asking questions instead they just read books written by men like themselves and the next thing is trying to convince others that there is no God.

Why not use the same tactics when you are searching for God?
Why not ask as many as possible what the questions bothering you mind?

NO! They won't do that but after concluding in their hearts they will start looking for people to engage in arguments and the funny part is they do so aggressively insulting whoever gives them a listening ear to reason with them!🤣

Do you have any group or school of thought where all members perfectly agreed on terms regarding knowledge?

If not then you don't have anything to say against my way of handling matters after all you believe everyone is entitled to his or her own personal opinion!🤣

@MaxInDHouse
I am sure that you won't understand this either 😭
Don’t confuse applause from believers with knowledge. You don’t know better - you only believe harder.
I didn’t start this discussion with you. When you joined, I took no offence. Yet you misquoted and misunderstood posts, maligned fellow Christians, dismissed evidence, and crowned yourself enlightened - all while offering imagination and an unquestioned book in place of logic or history.
You don’t belong in conversations that demand evidence, history, and logic if all you offer is imagination propped up by a book you refuse to question. Humanity progressed by interrogating beliefs, not by freezing them in reverence while silencing conscience and reason. The corruption and historical baggage of your faith are invisible to you only because you’ve never examined them honestly.
And stop projecting your framework onto me. I don’t operate on belief or faith.

The question should have been the other around.

How does prayer works?

There are two types of prayers:

Public or general this involves the one offering a prayer and others inclusive in the request made before God. 1Kings 8:22-30; John 17:20-22

Personal or private this involves only the one praying as he is alone while talking to God. Matthew 6:5-8

How does the public prayers work back then in ancient Israel among the people of God and among Christians in the first century?

That should be the focus but saying that prayers are unnecessary is the height of faithlessness! Hebrews 11:6 🙂

merrymike47:
stop talking out of point bro. So tell me how crowds will follow him without making noise? Noise is the actual argument here, not the crowd. I didn’t disagree about the fact that he had crowd following him, I only disagree with your point where you stated that they couldn’t have made noise then. So what is your point exactly?

Jesus is the focus going by the question you asked that's why i said he was doing great things while preaching from house to house so after he has performed one or two miracles in the same street surely people will come out in mass to see who this miracle worker is it does not necessarily mean he must shout before the crowd gather to follow such a miracle worker nah! Matthew 12:19😟

merrymike47:
Are you for real telling me that you can pull a crowd, gather a crowd or have multitudes following you without making noise or what exactly are you try to shove down my throat as YOUR truth?

When a man is preaching from house to house and curing all manners of sicknesses do you think such a person could walk through a street after he has performed these things without croud following him?😟

Mirasteel:
What do you mean?

Satan waited until all the Apostles were killed before he brought his own agents into the church to overshadow the truth that is what the Apostles foresaw as the Antichrist {1John 2:18} gradually the agents of Satan started to increase just as Jesus told the Apostles {Matthew 13:25} and after the death of Apostle John they silenced true Christianity completely and began setting their own doctrines this is what Jesus foresaw when he asked if he will meet Christianity the same way he established it by the time he returns! Luke 18:8
So those people fighting and killing people over doctrines and teachings aren't followers of Christ Jesus who commanded his own disciples never to raise weapons against anyone be it friend or foe! Matthew 5:43-48
In fact true Christians don't meddle in politics because they must not force whatever they believe on anyone {Matthew 10:16} they are the most humble people on planet earth and LOVE among them will surpass whatever politics or racism could offer! John 13:34-35
They are to approach people's doors as visitors pleading with householders not forcing their beliefs on anyone! Matthew 10:11-15

Now think about those politicians who came to Africa carrying the Bible and tell me if they are truly followers of the man who said all these things! Matthew 15:7-9😟

LordReed:
Both.

OK!🤣

LordReed:
I will wherever you are spreading misinformation.

Is it what is WRITTEN black and white in the Bible that is MISINFORMATION or the explanation as understood?🙂

Kayberg:
Do you know better than the LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself, who said:

“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.”
— Matthew 10:27 (KJV) 😕

Christians do meet in houses of fellow believers where interested individuals are invited so whatever they say in such a place has been made public!

Note that the Pharisees were searching for Christians to arrest and execute them so what made it difficult for these people is that Christians don't speak in their streets therefore they sent out spies to disguise as interested persons in order to arrest the Christians.

The way Christians were organized back then makes it really difficult for Pharisees to get them arrested unlike these two noisemakers in the street of Ikeja publicly cursing each other yet claiming they are both for Jesus!😟

Kayberg:
Where did the Bible say the LORD JESUS CHRIST went into homes to preach?
Show me from the Bible.

Luke 19:7-10
Jesus went to preach and teach in the house of Zacchaeus.

It's the supernatural signs (miracles) he was performing that often makes people gather to listen to Jesus but his ministry is from house to house!

LordReed:
pokenosing.

Thanks!
So next time you don't have to pokenose since you don't believe in what we are discussing!🙂

Kayberg:
When the LORD JESUS CHRIST went out, preaching in the streets as you read Him say He did, it's up to the hearers and whoever will accept to listen or not accept and listen.

You don't get it!

In Jesus' day it was Romans that are ruling Israel so it's unlawful for anyone to make noise in their streets that's why John the last prophet who is to prepare the way for Jesus had to go shouting not in their streets but in the wilderness! Mark 1:3; Luke 3:4; John 1:23 compare to Isaiah 40:3

So when Jesus began his ministry he has to go and meet people PRIVATELY in their homes that's what he commanded his disciples to do too! Matthew 10:11-13

The idea of shouting indiscriminately at passersby is unlawful back then and today but because we are living in a country where all sorts of nonsense is practiced in the name of God that's why you guy don't know the truth about Jesus and his ministry otherwise many like that girl will be arrested for disturbing the public with noise something Jesus will never ever do! Matthew 12:19😟

Kayberg:
How does those cursing become our discussion? 🤔

They had no captain just as Jesus taught his disciples through his actions so that a captain will direct the preaching work by organizing the disciples in pairs {Luke 10:1} giving them a territory where they are to preach {Matthew 10:6} and telling them how to approach people! Matthew 10:11-13

These your preachers are not organized just as the girl otherwise a fellow Christian in that country would have told her not to constitute nuisance in a public place.

Do you think there are no Christians in that area?

If there is then why didn't she join them in doing the Lord's work in an orderly manner? 1Corinthans 14:33 & 40😟

LordReed:
I don't believe fabu.

Well the OP is quoting the so called "fabu" to make his point that what i'm correcting but since you don't believe it at all there is no need porknosing!😟

Kayberg:
This is why I will always have issues with your anti-Christ doctrines of Charles Taze Russells.

So it is Charles Taze Russell who ordered his disciples in the Bible to take permission from householders before presenting their message? Matthew 10:11-13

When we are doing exactly what Jesus taught us to do and how he commanded us to do it you misinformed churchgoers will say that is Charles Taze Russell doctrine.

Oya here are two of your preachers cursing each other publicly because both wanted to preach UNORGANIZED!

😟

I love this your interpretation.

Now explain how this girl is not forcing herself on others when she is talking to people who never solicited for her words!

Kayberg:
“He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.”
— Matthew 12:19 (KJV)
JESUS CHRIST not striving according to the prophecy is that He will not force Himself on anyone!

Na so Kobojunkie take become atheist.

We have done all we could to present the one and only true Christian group to you people so if you can't sleep because false prophets are cashing out that's your own problem.

There is nothing you can do to stop the works of the devil if you refuse to work with God's people you will continue to nurture this animosity helplessly.

The only way forward is to present the organization that's teaching the truth but even that one you hate with passion due to the things these same pastors you are criticizing infused in your head!😟

vicfajeze:
Na you bro be Anti Christ propagandist

Exactly what Pharisees called Jesus when he was using God's word to set matters straight. 2Timothy 3:16
Later you people will say they are using police to persecute you when things aren't done the right way Jesus established!🙂

I thought you asked to know the truth but if it's to counter what Jesus taught that is your own cup of coffee.
At least you have nothing to say against the scriptures quoted so you shouldn't have quoted me in the first place if you hate the truth!

merrymike47:
😳 see long epistle all in the name of trying to defend your dilution 😂. Even satan self go weak after reading all this ur write-up. What was making the blind man shout on top of his voice ‘Jesus of Nazareth, have mercy on me’? People even tried to shut him up but he won’t listen. Anyways I’ve seen how hard you are trying to defend what only exist in your head and not a reality. Well you and I were not in the subway, so rest. Those present in the train alone have the right whether to complain or not. She didn’t preach on here after all, so rest already Max.

mechanics:
hmmmm, we not saying the right thing, we have different ways we preach the gospel, it might be through one to one method, through crusade, through mass evangelism, any method to employ is okay, what she's doing is mass evangelism.

That is what Jesus called LAWLESSNESS {Matthew 7:23} when people do things in his name but not following his footsteps. You can't know God's work more than God's Son who said we must approach people one on one! Matthew 10:11-13
You read about how individuals asked him questions while he's talking to them please how many times have you asked a noisemaker claiming preacher a question?
Well that is because you know they are not prepared for that so you just wish they continue talking to the air claiming their god will roast people alive for not accepting the gibberish they are saying.

mechanics:
hmmm, Read this verse Mark 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

YES! By following the procedure he gave them not unorganized way!😟

Mirasteel:
They are preaching to their slave masters that brought Christianity to them. 😂😂😂

What those people brought is not Christianity that is inaccurate knowledge!😟

mechanics:
She's doing the work of God.

Which of the Gods?
Please don't insult the Bible God because He established the preaching and teaching of His message through His only begotten Son so if anyone wants to do the Bible God's work they must follow the footpath of His Son whose voice is not heard in the streets or public squares! Matthew 12:19😟

Jesus never established preaching with noise in the streets {Matthew 12:19} because he must not encroach on the rights of others under the Roman colony where noise in their streets is prohibited. So he fulfilled a prophecy. Isaiah 42:2
Noise is unsolicited sound that is why you must pay for musicians to come and play music for you or pay for a tutor to teach you and when you are no longer interested you either walk away or ask the players to stop after all you paid for it. But when you start talking in the midst of people who are not expecting your voice then you are disturbing them. That is why Jesus established the preaching work to fit in all human society across the globe. His disciples will go from house to house and door to door, greet the householder before presenting their message. Matthew 10:11-13
This idea of standing in corner of the streets or public busses shouting at passersby is UNLAWFUL according to what Jesus taught us that is what he called "LAWLESSNESS" or "INIQUITY"
Matthew 7:23
In ancient Israel the case differs because God secured that place for His own glory that is why Israelite prophets has the right to shout like towncriers warning the inhabitants but by the time Jesus walked the earth the land is under pagan Rome so shouting in the streets is prohibited you will notice that even John the baptist who prepared the way for Jesus has to shout not in their streets but in the wilderness! Mark 1:3, Luke 4:3; John 1:23 compare to Isaiah 40:3
Please that is what true Christian faith teaches not inappropriately shouting in buses and streets disturbing passengers with noise in the name of Christ Jesus who ORGANIZED his work in the wisest way to fit in any society across the world.
Do you think any human ruler can make a law for people not to visit their neighbors?
Well that's how Jesus established the work {Matthew 10:11-13} but shouting in the streets when there are countless religions and gods makes no sense!😟

merrymike47:
noise from my understanding means unwanted sounds. Are you really a Christian or you just want to talk? There are records of Jesus walking in the street and crowds were following him. In one of those events was the blind Bartolommeo healed, the woman with the issues of blood wasn’t healed in the comfort of her room either, she struggled to have a touch. You suppose Jesus was walking the street with crowds and everywhere was silent like a graveyard right? If you call that harmless preaching a noise (unwanted sound), then it will be wrong to use JESUS MY MASTER AND KING in same context as stated in your quote. I noticed you sir.

LordReed:
I am saying the Bible is fabricating an origin story and you believe the fabu.

That's better,

LordReed:
The Israelites didn't conquer Canaan,

So you don't believe what is WRITTEN!😃

Thanks to God i am one of Jehovah's Witnesses the one and only true Christian organization globally.

Just imagine a supposed Christian proposing the death of a human like him when we are sent to save life!🙂

Amudeneogu:
Please when and where are we supposed to preach the gospel? Please let me know.

According to Jesus the Master of the work we must arrange for about six or more disciples so as to go in pairs {Luke 10:1} then we must go and speak with people in their homes {Matthew 10:11-13} this will help us to have a backup when we are talking to an interested person. Ecclesiastes 4:9

Shouting when people aren't interested is wrong! Matthew 12:19

Zocalite:
Jehovah wickedness

Where in the Bible did Jesus say don't collect blood transfusion?

You don't pray in Jesus Christ Name

You don't believe in hell fire

Jw a cult pretending to be Christians

Zocalite:
Jehovah wickedness
Where in the Bible did Jesus say don't collect blood transfusion?
You don't pray in Jesus Christ Name
You don't believe in hell fire
Jw a cult pretending to be Christians

Blood transfusion again?

Guy go and learn from professional health care service providers around the world they are now thanking Jehovah's witnesses for the eye opening research we made! Act 15:28-29

Ever8090:
Did she disturb you?... Una go just sit down one place type nonsense give people to read....

Of course she did!

Because by the time noisemakers like her have poisoned the minds of people in the neighborhood with their noise interested persons may conclude that this is what Christ taught his disciples to do!🤔
