Lucifyre:Ọmọ other planets are VISIBLE but as for blackholes they are not you have to start explaining and explaining to prove they exist yet you simply want everyone to agree with your explanations but when a believer in God wants to explain you keep on shouting "no evidence!" demanding something you can see with your physical eyes! ![]() |
Lucifyre:There is no evidence of any blackholes compared to countless evidences of God's existence but you can choose to ignore it even when it's affecting you very existence! ![]() |
After establishing the new covenant Jesus returned to heaven and his disciples began preaching and teaching in all their neighborhood as he had commanded them! Matthew 28:19-20 Jews in the first century started calling Jesus' disciples "friends of the Way"{Act 9:2;11:26;19:9,23;22:4;24:22} they were mocking them because Jesus himself claimed he is (the Way) {John 14:6} and as prophesied by Isaiah first century Jews believed Jesus' disciples were deluded because they were expecting to see a literal way not just a prophet claiming he is the Way! Isaiah 35:8 compare to Isaiah 30:21 Later observers in Antioch began calling Jesus' disciples "CHRISTIANS" {Act 11:26} for preaching from house to house and door to door in pairs as instructed by their leader! Luke 10:1 Jews in the first century continued to attack Jesus' disciples and driving them out of their Synagogues {Act 5:40; 14:1-2} as predicted by Jesus himself! Mark 13:9 Jesus' friends decided to meet in private homes of their fellow members {Romans 16:5; Philemon 1:2} as this is safe and their major concern was how to cover all their territories advancing their message from house to house and door to door. So according to the Bible the CHURCH in the first century was a congregation of Jesus' friends who were preaching zealously and industriously teaching what he commanded them in all their neighborhood. God bless you and may you have peace! ![]() |
Meanwhile many hunters at times often gather to form a band of robbers going from village to village robbing people and taking them as captives to be sold as slaves in big cities. This makes many to start consulting demons for charms, amulets and developing weapons to protect themselves from such robbers so the worship of different gods started as demons helped people with magical acts during wars and people started seeing conquerors as worshipers of invincible deities. Most people became bad due to the circumstances they found themselves yet some remained nice always doing the right thing no matter what happens so God promised to destroy evil people {Psalms 37:7-11} before then a signal must be sent to alert everyone that God has started His plan to wipe out evil completely from planet earth so God's first move is to unite all faithful people among the descendants of Adam to form a global family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} this people though from different nations will understand one another as one family! Zephaniah 3:9 To do this God called a faithful man named Abraham and revealed His plans to him {Genesis 12:1-3} Abraham welcome the new development heartily. Later God formed a nation through one of Abraham's grandchildren called Jacob and God called him "Israel" this man became father to twelve sons and God established His covenant with them as His special people! Exodus 19:5 God promised that another prophet will rise like Moses whom He used as a God {Exodus 7:1} and mediator to establish a covenant that promised prophet will also come from the nation of Israel! Deuteronomy 18:18-19 Unlike Moses who was given laws that God wrote with His hands on stone tablets the prophet will write God's laws in the hearts of faithful Israelites {Jeremiah 31:33} Peter in the first century confirmed that Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled this prophecy! Act 3:20-22 Jesus of Nazareth proved to be the Messiah (Christ) the mediator of a new covenant who will rule faithful people as God's anointed King forever {Isaiah 9:6} but first Jesus needs to fish out his own cabinet among the Jews this ones will rule with him as his corulers so he concentrated on the Jews {Matthew 10:6} by the time he gathers his corulers they will have to take the message of God's chosen king to all the nations on planet earth {Matthew 28:19-20} and all those who accepted this message will become WITNESSES that the Christ has come and established the covenant God promised long ago! Act 1:8 So back to the question: What is the biblical meaning of the word CHURCH? To be continued... |
In the Bible the word "CHURCH" is used for a congregation of worshipers who gathered to PRACTICE what Jesus taught them which is PREACHING AND TEACHING in their neighborhood from house to house and door to door. Matthew 10:11-13; 28:19-20 But why preaching and teaching from one house to another since everyone is a worshiper of God as each person thought back then till today? Well God did something thousands of years ago for a purpose, according to the Bible mankind as descendants of the same couple spoke one language globally {Genesis 11:1} but as they have become sinners through Adam {Romans 5:12} who rebelled against God and refused to pass across God's message to his descendants mankind doesn't know the purpose of their existence on planet earth so they decided to stay in one geographical location {Genesis 11:4} this is against God's purpose which states that they should fill the earth with their descendants and make the best use of things they find on the planet! Genesis 1:28 God decided to make them scatter by confusing their language {Genesis 11:7-9} and from then different languages and tongues started so that only those speaking the same language could relate and do things in common while anyone who couldn't speak the same language to them becomes a stranger to them, that's how people began traveling far in search of a good location to settle. Later they started choosing rulers/leaders to lead them against those invading or encroaching their territory and such men were skilled hunters like the first man who made himself ruler over mankind in opposition to God our SUPREME RULER! Genesis 10:8-9 The hunters continue to develop weapons good for hunting both animals and humans so when two Chief hunters disagree over a place of settlement war erupts as supporters from both sides kill hunters of opposing side. This has continued till today though what people called Chief hunters continue to change from time to time. To be continued.... |
Is it possible for you to stop mentioning my name whenever you are arguing with your folks or not? I think i've made myself clear and that will never ever change so far it's not about the group that's doing God's will please! please!! please!!! count me out. Thank you! ![]() gohf: |
gohf:Please! Please!! Please!!! Remove my name from the list of those you are calling for your argument in the absence of any organized group doing what Jesus called God's will just count me out. Thanks! |
Lucifyre:So understanding blackholes continues and not just what we heard decades ago same applies to the existence of God as predicted, observed and confirmed by evidence. If you try to explain but your audience insisted on what we heard about this blackholes decades ago it's the same thing! ![]() |
jaephoenix:Are you really interested in the evidence of God's existence? Just as you welcomed EXPLANATION for the existence of unseen blackholes! ![]() |
jaephoenix:Hmmmm so you can actually welcomed an explanation from humans who never saw the blackhole without you having to see it for yourself? Now is the time for LOGICAL REASONING! ![]() |
I think the question should be the reverse: "Why were you going to church?" Perhaps your parents raised you a church person or someone along the line took you to the church or you just want to be in the gathering of people singing, praying and dancing. If you don't know where you are going it will be difficult for you to proceed when the going gets tough so the first thing is the need to know what you are doing in the church that's when you can make good sense out for stopping! ![]() |
People do argue for different reasons so we can't judge if someone unseen exists or not through human arguments since each person will keep on heading towards his or her own preferred destination during such arguments. What approach can be helpful? First of all God is a spirit according to all religions claiming belief in God so let's borrow a leaf from that. Atheists do say they can't believe in what they can't see yet these same people claim they believe in science and their reason they say because it's logical. So when scientists told us that there is a dead star in space (invisible) and called it "blackholes" their evidence is not in the sight of this object rather it's the reaction of objects around it. Please if humans from history till today have all believe in the existence of unseen supernatural beings and offering sacred service in all known ancient world where does that leave us? According to the Bible (a book written by ancient Israelites) there are many spirits in the spirit realm: heaven (unseen yet certain destination of the supernaturals) that means these unseen beings can have effect on us positively or negatively depending on what they choose to do. Now we have a clue on reason why people in all traditions offer sacred service to these unseen beings it's either seeking their approval or fearful not to displeasing them. Another point is in all traditions there is this idea of the SUPREME BEING who is above all other spirits in some traditions this supreme being can punish any of the supernaturals for their actions and inactions and there the Bible also revealed that there was a time one of these supernaturals decided to dwell with the descendants of Jacob helping them to secure a place called "Canaan" That is what made the Jews popular till today as their ancestors were worshipers of this God. There is no God in any of the nations that has made any promise regarding our time except the God of ancient Jews and so far most of His promises have come through including what he foretold regarding our time. So LOGICALLY a right thinking person will agree that all these couldn't have been a coincidence something strange is happening that we need to figure out about these God/Gods! |
MrPresident1:Are you a politician? |
MrPresident1:No nah! To fulfill this golden rule Jesus introduced all a believer in Christ need to do is stick to the standard God set in the beginning: One Adam One Eve! Matthew 19:4 |
tctrills:The highlighted shows you don't even know what you are saying! First of all did God's people got involved in killing their fellow worshipers in that war? Secondly which nation belongs to Christians today since Jesus said his kingdom is no part of the world? Lastly which nation can you pick up weapons against that you won't kill your fellow believers there? You people don't study God's word you only read! Jesus said: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” John 4:21-24 Before Jesus' God's people used to fight in defense of Jerusalem not because of their properties but to protect the Temple and those officiating inside it in fact a faithful Israelite will leave his own house to fight to protect God's temple in Jerusalem believing that when he dies it's for a just course but from the moment Jesus uttered that statement all believers in God and Christ realized that there is no holy land to fight for anymore and instead of fighting to protect any nation true Christians look for ways to hide their fellow worshipers who may be attacked by faithless people seeking to kill due to racism but for true believers to raise weapons against their fellow believers because a politician issued such an order? Ọmọ we will obey God as our king rather than man. Act 5:29 Jesus God's only begotten Son has issued the order that we must not kill be it friend or foe! Matthew 26:52 |
Deepspirituals:You can never forget MaxInDHouse as my comments will continue to hunt you because it's the truth. For your information i choose to avoid you not that you block me in anyway! Isaiah said: Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good, Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20 Confusion is when you know what is good but chose evil because that's what people around you welcome. There is no reason for war when people are obediently adhering to the guidance from the same source war is the result of two opposing sides dragging authority so one commander issues the order for his army to war against another but now you guys are talking about worshipers of the same God who supposed to be the supreme ruler yet you still feel war is possible in such atmosphere! ![]() Please what is the purpose of a supreme ruler if peace is not the goal? Well let it be known today that disorder is what brings about war but if you people truly believe in one supreme being such one should be relegated when he/she can't maintain orderliness. God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all meetings of God’s people! 1Corinthans 14:33 |
MrPresident1:Everything that you want to have men do to you, then, do so yourselves to them; for this is the law and the prophets. ~ Jesus of Nazareth Matthew 7:12 |
Righteousness2:With this you've simplified everything. Zeus, Hermes, Jupiter, Ra, Allah, Krishna, Buddha, Ọ̀rúnmìlà and the rest being Gods are all MYSTERY that humans can't explain. So why all these arguments nah? ![]()

PulsingPurple:God is not happy killing anyone whether they sin or not His main reason for killing is love for those who are doing the right thing it's like when you wish to save some people out of those who has been infected with a dealy, incurable and infectious disease the first thing to do is quarantine infected ones away from the rest but what happens when the only way to quarantine them is by locking them where they can't in anyway come in contact with the rest? That's what God is doing! Most of those killed back then will be resurrected again when the virus has been squashed by then whoever wants to bring back the virus will be exterminated completely never to be remembered again. So it's an act of love for those who aren't infected that God wiped out infected ones. |

MrPresident1:God never promised anything against His will what He created in the beginning is One Adam and One Eve! |
When they keep on seeking to be among the fittest in faith they continue asking to know better {Matthew 7:7-8} because they want to make sure of all things and hold onto what is good. 1Thessalonians 5:21 After Jesus' ascension they were called "People of the Way" {Act 9:2; 19:23; 22:4} because their leader claims to be the Way {John 14:6} which is in line with the prophecy of Isaiah {Isaiah 35:8} but observers in Antioch started calling them by the title given to their leader which is "Christ" and they were called Christians! Act 11:26 Shortly after this Satan began polluting the group with different worlds ideologies to create confusion and mislead them but the apostles stood their ground never to allow heresy in the congregations and all Christians globally back then had just the same line of thought {1Corinthians 1:10} just as Jesus prayed for! John 17:22 But after the death of his apostles when men were sleeping Satan succeeded in polluting the doctrine of Christianity and different ideas which promotes worldly politics devastated the group {Matthew 13:25} from that time till today many things Jesus condemned was promoted among those claiming Christians. So who is a Christian today? Is he just the usual churchgoer? The answer is NO! A true Christian is one who keeps on seeking to know the truth about Jesus and what he commanded his disciples to keep on doing as God's will such a person will not relent until he finds the narrow path {Matthew 7:13-14} where those threading it stick to one lane it is called the Way Of Holiness! Isaiah 35:8 ![]() |
God promised that n Paradise there will be no pain nor tears because the people living there will be pardoned for their errors. No woman is pleased to share her man therefore a true Christian shouldn't have any feelings or sexually attracted to any other woman while his wife is still alive! Matthew 5:28 But if anyone feels it's not written in God's word for a man not to marry more than one wife then let the golden rule take effect! Matthew 7:12 ![]() |
GothamCities:Good question and that goes to your guy who sensed the fact in that verse! In the beginning after God created it all He declared that everything was good. Genesis 1:31 The creature who initiated evil was one of God's heavenly sons. Isaiah 14:12 So God Himself declared to Isaiah that He formed light and create darkness peace and create calamity. Isaiah 45:7 So when He called Himself the beginning and the end He is assuring us that what He promised regarding the end of badness is not beyond His capability because He created all things both that has become good and those that has turned to evil so He will end evil. That's the import of beginning and the end of course God doesn't have a beginning nor end but as for badness it has a beginning which God knows and it will surely end through Him! Psalms 37:9-11; Isaiah 11:9; Revelations 21:4 ![]() |
GothamCities:Your Interpretation i placed before you! GothamCities:So you are to tell me the reason why God will terminate all things! ![]() |
GothamCities:So are you saying all things including you will be TERMINATED forever? ![]() |
GothamCities:You are deceiving yourself! ![]() God said He is the BEGINNING and END so what begins and ends with God? ![]() |
It is well! Please don't mention my name anytime you want to argue with your people i'm not interested in such arguments to call my name means to inquire which group is doing God's will today anything aside that is none of my business. Thank you! ![]() Boomark: |
GothamCities:Continue hitting your head on the brick if God doesn't have a beginning or end then something is wrong with what you are saying! ![]() |
GothamCities:So my interpretation stands as you don't even know the meaning of that statement: "The beginning and the end" MaxInDHouse: |
In ancient Israel poverty becomes like a curse to the entire nation when they turn against divine required standards that doesn't mean nobody will be rich among them but 90% of the population will live in abject poverty while just a few will be rich. The curse is upon the entire nation whether rich or poor because while the poor are languishing in poverty the rich or average lives in fear as many of those suffering won't just accept it as fate rather they'll become thieves and highway robbers making life unbearable for their neighbors therefore such curse affects the entire nation. But where is the blessings for the upright among them if the curse affects the whole nation? Well God will bless the upright making sure that they are fed with life saving informations on how to escape impending calamities that will destroy the nation. For instance during the time of Jeremiah most youths were accumulating material possessions, getting married and having children despite knowing what God's servants have said about Jerusalem that is the time God warned Jeremiah not to acquire material possessions nor get married. WHY? Because all those acquiring possessions will perish due to their possessions while all their wives and children will be slaughtered right before their eyes! Jeremiah remained unmarried and keep telling the people all the calamities God is bringing upon Jerusalem. What did the people in general choose to do with Jeremiah? They maltreated and tortured him for delivering such evil messages to them but when the time comes Jeremiah was saved according to God's word while all the youths in Jerusalem were taken as captives to Babylon! Today the whole world is facing abject poverty though many still feels they are rich but the curse is obvious as those who felt rich can't walk or sleep safely because even their closest guards wants to become rich like them and such desperate ones are unpredictable! So there's no blessings when people around you are suffering no matter how rich you may think their poverty affects you one way or another! Luke 12:20 compare to Matthew 6:19-21 God bless you and may you have peace! ![]() |
