Hmm!
I can't blame the Jews for being greedy and selfish. Everyone then, had the right to become whatever they wanted - and reject whatever didn't suit them.
Call it Sin or Worship of Money - everyone has a unique personality that can accept or reject any lifestyle, belief or religion.
Well this is what the true God told their forefathers in the wilderness before He bought them into the promised land:

"'Now if you will strictly obey my voice and keep my covenant, you will certainly become my special property out of all peoples, for the whole earth belongs to me. You will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the Israelites.” Exodus 19:5-6

After bringing them to the promised land Moses said to them:

For Jehovah your God is walking about within your camp to deliver you and to hand over your enemies to you, and your camp must be holy, so that he does not see anything indecent in you and turn away from accompanying you. Deuteronomy 23:14

So when they turned against Jesus God didn't just condemn the people rather He gave them another opportunity by allowing the few disciples of Jesus to bear witness to the Jews! Act 2:24-36

After hearing what Peter said that day over 3,000 Jews were stabbed in the heart with that message and they said to Peter:

“Men, brothers, what should we do?” Act 2:37

But their politicians insisted on turning against Jesus and whatever has to do with him {Act 4:18; 5:28} that is why till today the entire Jewish nation was condemned {Matthew 21:43; 23:37-38} unless any individual from among them repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Christ. Act 2:38

So that is why the true God is now using the nation that's producing the fruit expected of the Jews:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!🙂

If the Jews didn't believe Jesus's miracles and demonstrations as you suggest.
They were filled with selfishness and greed!

God only used them as example of how people throughout the earth should be organized not that they would dominate other people but due to the fact that the Christ has been promised to be raised among them {Isaiah 9:6-7} their thoughts is driving towards dominating all the nations of the earth.
So when Jesus arrived as Christ they knew he was the promised prophet but since he's teaching them to be humble {Matthew 5:5; 12:23; Luke 14:7-11} (which they never wanted to be) they condemned him and only a few of them accepted his wise counsel.🙂

This is what happens when you feel you've known everything but in reality you are just empty.

Christianity Etc › Re: Mandatory Migration To Eternal Destinations by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:42am On Jul 10
God created the earth and put humans on it to take charge {Genesis 1:26-28} so God has given planet earth to humans as our home permanently {Psalms 115:16} evildoers that refuses to remember their creator will return to dust {Genesis 3:19} anyone who follows the path of Adam will also go down and never be remembered during resurrection {Psalms 9:17} but the meek ones will be given the privilege to inherit everlasting blessings of life in peaceful condition! Psalms 37:9-11, 29

Meanwhile all of us are experiencing what Adam put us through since we are all children born through him {Romans 5:12} so until God's Kingdom comes when God's original purpose for mankind is restored {Matthew 6:10} we must continue to bear the consequences of Adam's sin until God's promise through Christ Jesus is actualized! Romans 5:21

But if there's no evidence of substance,
Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. For by means of it, the men of ancient times had witness borne to them. Hebrews 11:1-2

When Jesus followed all the instruction given to him on how to preach, teach and use God's power to perform miracles yet 99% of Jews didn't believe him that doesn't mean God failed him rather it means Satan has a firm grip on most Jews. Likewise when a faithful servant of God have done all things he should do but makes little money just to survive that doesn't mean God is not alive or God is not there for him rather it means Satan wants him to do things that will make him an enemy of God.

For instance God has promised Jesus that he will rule over planet earth {Isaiah 9:6-7} and all he had to do is talk to people about how his government will run but Satan wanted Jesus to turn against God {Luke 4:5-7} so Satan promised Jesus that all what God promised will take a long process Jesus didn't give in. That is the type of faith a believer should have! Hebrews 12:2

Caveatemptor:
What do you mean that heaven is not physical when there are uncountable chapters in the religious books called the Bible where Yahweh CAME DOWN from this same heaven.
Yahweh is a spirit not human with physical bodies {1John 4:8} so He appears and disappears in the eyes of those seeing Him because He is a spirit who lives in heaven the abode of spirits! Psalms 115:16
The reason why He appears as if from up is to show that He is from a higher form of life just as we humans looks up and not looking down at anyone who is higher than us!
Christianity Etc › Re: Where Is Heaven? by MaxInDHouse(m): 5:38pm On Jul 09

Ok,
We want to learn. Where is heaven and hell located?
First of all the word "WHERE" implies a PHYSICAL LOCATION while heaven is not physical but as for hell it simply means common grave!

True to the fact, money doesn't buy happiness. But poverty doesn't create happiness either. The middle class are experiencing both sides of rich and poor. So, the situation is what it is.
But if a man has an opportunity to be rich either through talent or opportunity, he should take advantage of it and not be bound by religious rules of scarcity. That's my opinion.
Our God is not against riches but what He is saying is we should be careful not to rely on material things otherwise when those things are no longer there will the worshiper remain loyal to God?

Hmm!
This is interesting!
If the "other side," is not a place, but an "emotion", then, is that the ultimate consequence God promises?
There are so many billionaires in the world today doing just fine with or without God - no suicide, little or no disappointments and merry life...
How do you explain that?
Most people do feel like riches is the height of bliss until money fails.

For instance a billionaire may be tempted to think he could help people in his neighborhood by contesting for a public office only to meet his doom or become enemy to the same people he wish to help.

But in true religion everyone knows the system we are in presently is filled with uncertainty so no one among us rely on this system.
Christianity Etc › Re: Does God Really Answer Prayers? by MaxInDHouse(m): 11:33am On Jul 09
kayjordan:
I accept the correction.
What's the "other side" if i may ask, since everlasting life is here on earth, and principles of heaven and hell don't exist?
The otherside is deception where people keep on seeking what is not real because the life people are living now is not how God purposed it to be so anyone who builds his life around what we are seeing now will end up in disappointment.
That is why most people do commit suicide as they built their lives around what they are seeing!
For instance a disciple of Jesus refused to agree with Jesus but he kept following Jesus while his heart far away from Jesus. Later he sold Jesus for money but ended up committing suicide because he later discovered he is not happy with the money! 1Timothy 6:9-10

The stock in trade of these characters when they have no answers to critical questions on their false religion,is to deflect, rigmarole,derail and post gigantic pictures of Hollywood movie actors,and masquerade them as religious speakers. We know them very well in this section of Nairaland.com.
Even the religious leaders in their cocoon of delusion cannot tell anyone where Heaven or Hell is located. This is because neither exist.
Ask a Christian or a Muslim to tell you the location of heaven or hell and you see them begin to rigmarole and throw insults because they have no answers despite the two locales being cornerstones of their reward and punishment fables and fairytale of gods,angels,devils and other imaginary entities.
That is why despite this thread already on its second page,and the disappearance of the original poster,none of them has been able to tell the location of heaven or hell!!!

Worshiper of Arabian stone deity wants to quote God's word without any knowledge.
If you are seeing and hearing for truth what exactly has your Arabian stone deity promised and how has it been fulfilling its promise?
Ọmọ your Arabian stone deity is of no use just as the deities worshipped in remote areas around the world!

So next time don't quote me until you're ready to reason intelligently.🙂

In your informed opinion, true worship is salvation-seeking and not earthly comfort.
The highlighted is WRONG don't say its my opinion but according to Jesus of Nazareth!

“Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you. So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles" Matthew 6:33-34

"I have said these things to you so that by means of me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage! I have conquered the world.” John 16:33


These are the very words of Jesus Christ not my own opinion so going by what Jesus the only begotten Son of the one and only true God said there is no real comfort now and his disciples shouldn't seek such comfort otherwise it's the other side they will see!

Definitely you know Allah promises many things.
Your Arabian stone deity promised nothing as far as i'm concerned!

A YES or NO response would have been of help to you but since you have nothing to show for your stone deity that's why you are scared to answer the question directly.

In all traditions people do worship their ancestral deities so worshiping one way or another is as old as mankind but before an intelligent individual will abandon the deities worshipped by his own ancestors and cling to another there must be something really tangible to hold onto.

The Bible God claimed He created all things and told many stories of how He dealt with the Israelites including how He destroyed nations before them but all that is in the past we only read these stories in books.

So today why did i leave my ancestral deities for the God of Abraham?

There is just one reason!

The God of Abraham made a lot of promises and gradually all are fulfilling in my own eyes by His wonderfully organized worshipers throughout the earth {Isaiah 55:10-11} just as He promised to be with them but one thing that's really strange is how they are not using weapons nor force to achieve what this God promised {Isaiah 2:2-4} and yet they have successfully entered all nations {Matthew 28:19-20} to get worshipers and turned all of them to loving friends and families just as He foretold! Act 1:8 compare to John 13:34-35

Can you tell me what your Arabian stone deity promised and how its been doing it today?
If you can't then there is no difference between your so called Allah and other idols in different lands! Psalms 115:4-8🙂

The Will of God in your religious understanding, might be non-material things. And at the same time, the "will of God" could mean, man's comfort in other contexts.
Jesus and his disciples are the people who will teach us the will of God through their words, actions and ministries. So when i said JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are the only true Christians i can beat my chest while saying it before anybody.
Call any of them to come and use the Bible to prove they are following the footsteps of Christ and his apostles.
For your information the way the Bible is written should tell you a lot.
Four disciples wrote about Jesus' life and ministry while the next book Act Of Apostles teaches us how they operate so if any religion claims they believe in the same God as Jesus and his disciples let them prove it by showing how they follow the footsteps of Christ and his Apostles!🙂

kayjordan:
Some doctrines might say, "it's the will of God for a man to be rich and not suffer".
Ask them to give examples of disciples of Christ who became rich and not suffer nah at least if they claim to be worshipers of the same God could they be more favored than those who started the religion in the first century?🙂

Regarding being rich and not suffer this is what apostle Paul said in behalf of himself and all other apostles:

Are they ministers of Christ? I reply like a madman, I am more outstandingly one: I have done more work, been imprisoned more often, suffered countless beatings, and experienced many near-deaths. Five times I received 40 strokes less one from the Jews, three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I experienced shipwreck, a night and a day I have spent in the open sea; in journeys often, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my own people, in dangers from the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers, in labor and toil, in sleepless nights often, in hunger and thirst, frequently without food, in cold and lacking clothing. 2Corinthians 11:23-27

Ọmọ i'm not here to force you to agree with whatever doesn't make you feel comfortable but when talking about true Christianity don't argue with me i challenge any church or any pastor to come and face me on this ONLY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are true Christians!🙂

You've started deceiving yourself again.

Quote where a servant of God asked for a selfish thing nah!🥱

But God's word is contrary - He say in the Bible, "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE" and "ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU".
All things that are in line with the will of God.
See what our brothers in Jehovah's Witnesses said about asking our God:


This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. ‭1 John 5:14 NIV‬

Guy what i asked you requires a YES or NO response.

honesttalk21:
Allah's promise is an absolute certainty unlike and there's no failure here Quran 3:9 however when comparing this with mankind's scientific evaluation, they are not equal categories. Allah's knowledge is perfect and infallible unlike mankind's scientific knowledge that is governed by endeavor that may improve over time through observation and correction.
Note that certainty is in Allah's revelation, while human inquiry whether scientific or philosophical remains as means of seeking understanding that is open to evidence and correction.

Now let me link this back to this article.
If God truly gives perfect instructions, why then do people pray and sometimes don't get answers? - "Ask and it shall be given"...
Jesus was talking to FAITHFUL Jews who knew what to ask for not faithless people who just want to ask anything that comes to their mind.

That's why i said in the beginning that no servant of God asked for riches or material possessions so those listening to Jesus knew such requests has never been asked in times past.

So to understand what Jesus meant try to figure out what servants of this God do ask not just abracadabra as you wish! 🙂

You don't understand what you are saying. Jesus welcomed people who believe they need enlightenment not those who condemns his teachings so get it straight.

Regarding those who viewed Jesus as a sound teacher he called them his brothers and families {Matthew 12:46-50} but as for people who say he is teaching heresy Jesus told them that their father is not his father! John 8:44
