Did this church have a headquarter? Did their headquarter know about this? Did the headquarter approve it? Jesus said: "By their fruits you will know" Matthew 7:16 |
bixton:It's in all translations but since you want to know i will quote the KJV: Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. Malachi 3:16 KJV This is what Jesus God's only begotten Son established when he commanded his disciples to go from house to house and door to door preaching and teaching whoever welcome them. Note what Malachi said: God instructed angels to pen down the names of those who have godly fear and those meditating on His name. So when Jesus said whoever refuse to welcome his disciples they should dust their feet in front of the person's house that's a sign that they have brought the message but the householder declined. So the last book of the Old Covenant told us how our names will be written for the WORKS we did in the name of God's Son {Malachi 3:16} while the last book of the New Covenant told us what will happen to those whose names are not found in that book! Revelations 20:15 |
bixton:They never existed before God created them so they will return to the same state. Oya say what you think about God's pronouncement nah. Àbí your pastors never thought of this? ![]() |
bixton:God created them from the dust, they were nowhere before God created them and gave them the opportunity to be alive so they will return to oblivion that's what God said. Do you have a contrary meaning? ![]() |
bixton:You said: bixton:So try to obey your own rule! |
bixton:I love the highlighted! Oya let's not take quotes out of context. What did God say will happen to Adam and Eve if they sin? |
bixton:Second Death means things that will no longer exist forever. Death, Grave (Hell) and wicked people who have killed their conscience will no longer exist forever. That's what it means! You people only keep notes of what they told you in one gotta so as to mimick it each time you want to argue but when you come across a real believer who used thought provoking questions to prove you wrong the next thing is claiming such a person is hiding sin whereas it's because you don't know what to quote again. God said people whose names are not found written in the book of life. Do you know where God told us how our names could enter into the book of life? Surely you can't even know it because from what you are quoting it's all written in your gotta as your pastors quoted it in their books! |
bixton:That's not my point God said such a thing like roasting people alive has never crossed His heart. So think over that because God didn't tell Adam that sin will lead him to Hellfire rather what God told Adam is Death! Genesis 2:17 So if Adam who knew God one on one as the first and foremost sinner died on what ground do humans who never knew God at all to be roasted in fire forever? Please try to make it make sense! |
bixton:But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and the sexually immoral and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This means the second death.” bixton:in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance on those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus bixton:These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength, This simply means it's exactly what they told you that you're pouring out because all these verses mean Second Death or Death that doesn't open any chance of resurrection God said burning living people has never crossed His heart! Jeremiah 7:31 |
Michael547:He is just confused! Imagine saying people OBEY God yet they are LUSTING. How does lust and obedience to God goes together? ![]() |
bixton:We make sure of all things! 1Thessalonians 5:21 So try to make a thorough research on the things you heard and read not just swallowing what people told you! |
Where most people get confused is when they call God Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent. There is no where God claim to be any of these but out of presumptuousness many just feel God must be all of these and majority among them have now turned to atheism when they have a rethink over what they believe. What you need to ask yourself is whether God is Omniscient according to what most people say. The Bible God told us that He knows the end right from the beginning {Revelations 21:6} this led many to conclude that God is Omniscient but then they failed to note what He said in the Bible book of Genesis Chapters 18 & 21 Please read: God said to Abraham “The outcry against Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah is indeed great, and their sin is very heavy. I will go down to see whether they are acting according to the outcry that has reached me. And if not, I can get to know it.” Genesis 18:20-21 This verse proved that the Bible God is not Omniscient nor Omnipresent as many people have assumed because if He knew everything then why must He go to Sodom and Gomorrah to see if the reports brought to Him is exactly as they said? And if He is Omnipresent there is no need going to ascertain what they told Him. Now how do we reconcile Revelations 21:6 with Genesis 18:20-21? After reading these verses some just conclude that this God is a confusionist and they turned either to atheism or agnosticism. To reconcile these verses we need more than just reading but studying and the help of God's Holy Spirit to unravel the sacred secret. The truth is that God can see everything and can know everything but first of all we need to remember that He is Holy this means there is no thought of evil in Him in His heart it's always good things that comes in so He is incapable of evil thought {James 1:13} so during creation He never had a second (negative) thought regarding the life He gave others that's why He later regretted creating humans to represent Him on planet earth because the thoughts in their hearts is always negative unlike Him who is incapable of evil thoughts! Genesis 6:6 Secondly after the incident in Eden God chose not to see everything that man is doing because it will continue to sadden Him {Habakkuk 1:13} to illustrate think of a mother who gave birth to a male child, sent him to school and after graduating the young man lost his brain, do you think his mother will like being around to see him do in$ane things? Surely not! But then if the young man regain his memories and start crying seeking how to return home how do you think the mother will feel? Well God sent some angels throughout the earth whose wings are full of eyes {Ezekiel 10:12} these are the ones serving as God's eyes {2Chronicles 16:9} they are the ones reporting to Him what humans are doing to one another on this planet! Genesis 18:20-21 May you have Peace! ![]() |
MrPRevailer:Paul was talking about two different cases in this chapter: A woman in the gathering of Christians and the woman who is the only baptized member in the gathering. As for the women in the congregation they don't need a head covering when they have long hairs but since it's unchristian for a female to preside over men in the church {1Timothy 2:12} to show that such position belongs only to the males in a Christian gathering when there is no baptized male then the baptized female must use a cloth to cover her head as a sign that such office belongs only to males who are heads over the females {1Corinthans 11:3} this is compulsory because of angels in our gathering they don't tolerate females being head over males during worship! 1Corinthans 11:10 |
bixton:So it's threat that scares you? Well true worshipers of our heavenly Father love Him {John 17:3} that's why we keep His orders not due to the fear of threat. |
bixton:Both heaven and hell exist but they meant totally different things from what most religionists think. Heaven is the above of God and His spirit sons (angels) so flesh and blood can't go there which means it's not a place where humans can live those who are going there must be transformed into spirit beings. Hell simply means the land of the dead where there is no activity. It's as simple as that! |
Blakjewelry:[1 & 2] Satan is the Shining One among all other angels some Bible translations called him "Lucifer" God inspired Isaiah to pen down what caused the downfall of this powerful angel: How you have fallen from heaven, O shining one, son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the earth, You who vanquished nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to the heavens. Above the stars of God I will lift up my throne, And I will sit down on the mountain of meeting, In the remotest parts of the north' Isaiah 14:12-13 All the spirit sons of God in heaven are called "morning stars" {Job 38:7} so by saying he will ascend to the heavens above the stars of God he will lift up his throne means he wants to rule all the other angels which is God's domain! [3] Satan used a snake like puppet to speak to the first woman and convinced her {1Timothy 2:14} to join him in rebelling against God's authority {Genesis 3:4-5} it was not a literal fruit she ate rather it simply means both herself and her husband were ready to start their own rule over whoever comes after them and they don't want God to set standards rather they want to establish their own. That is how Satan used tricks to become the ruler of mankind from that moment he knew that Adam and Eve will surely die but their descendants who don't know him will be deceived into politics. That's the root cause of all the evil going on around the world today! |
Blakjewelry:The Bible explains it all but if you're not diligent in your research you will mix up everything. Evil started when one person seeks the backing of others for three reasons: [1] To challenge the supreme being. [2] To establish his own rule. [3] To deceive others in joining him. Freewill is what God gave all of us {Genesis 2:16} but seeking the support of others to establish our own standard is what forbids! Genesis 2:17 Now imagine a man who hates his fellow human for reasons best known to him surely he will look for means to hurt the other person but then seeking the support of others by instigating them against the one he hates is the root cause of evil because by then he has established a standard that's not yet clear to his gullible supporters it when the table turns that sincere ones will remember that he is now doing exactly what he compelled them to join hands in hurting someone else. That's how politics began in the garden of Eden! |
Michael547:That's how they misconstrue everything instead of asking for wisdom! Matthew 7:7-8 Death, Hell (Grave) and Evil aren't in God's plan from the beginning so these three will be destroyed for good never to exist again. That's the meaning of Revelations 20:14-15 but these churchgoers won't listen they will continue arguing blindly until they are stuck! ![]() |
Where the problem lies is the general use of the title "GOD" This word is not the name of a specific being rather it's just a title that any being can claim so it's the name and character of the title bearer that matters not just the title. For instance a man could be a husband, father and lawyer that doesn't definitely mean you must call him Father or Husband or Lawyer thinking the upper case is enough to define him rather you need to know his personal name and qualities. The Christian God is a deity worshiped by His adherents just as the Muslims God but their names and attributes shows they are not the same person! ![]() |
Arda1000:Now you are talking but you are wrong! Why? If i said something happened last night and you can't comprehend how it could have happened doesn't necessarily mean i lied that's why most of you end up being judged wrongly because strange things do happens and the word "strange" means not normal, odd, unusual, surprising, out of the ordinary, often with a negative connotation. Are strange things impossible? The answer is NO! So why do reasonable people finds it difficult to disclaim the Bible? That's what you should ask not insisting that the events should repeat itself before you agree it happened. |
Arda1000:Surely you don't understand what you are saying yourself. If i choose to prove that the stories in a book aren't real differs from saying the book doesn't exist. ![]() |
God's judgement is simple and straight. He created humans on planet earth to be His representatives in keeping the planet in order and clean but those who feels they don't have any business with Him will be forgotten when He wants to reward His loyal friends that's all but claiming He will start roasting people in a place totally negates His personality! ![]() |
Arda1000:You don't get it whether what is written in a tale of two cities is real or not differs from saying the book doesn't exist! ![]() |
Arda1000:It doesn't exist yet it has a name "Bible" the world's best selling book in the history of mankind that could be found in virtually every home throughout the earth! Ọmọ do you know the meaning of that word "exist" ![]() |
Arda1000:Prove me wrong nah! ![]() |
AngelahFlo:NO! |
Arda1000:No book contains any fact that doesn't have it's root in the Bible. I am telling you this for a certainty! |
bixton:The highlighted says it all. It's a PARABLE not to be taken literally as most of you took it! |
Arda1000:Guy that book contains a lot that will help you and your teachers that infused atheism in your head that's why people of all ages took it seriously. Thanks for your time! |
specialmati:I'm sorry, don't know you're a joker! ![]() |
Bmaster:It's liars that added fire to it Hell simply means Grave no more no less! |
