kgr8mike: Thanks dear. Jesus said, 'you shall know the truth and the truth will MAKE you free'. This is a deep saying. When the truth dawns on you, you may not need to ask. Remember it is not all (pastors) that are called. So it is always good if you find the truth for yourself. Then you will not be tossed about by every wind of doctrine. Please dear I like your quest but include a book called Changed Into His Likeness by Watchman Nee as one of the books you will read in your search for God. May be it may help you discover him early and also shorten your journey. God bless you.
kgr8mike: When you find him, please let me know. But bear in mind that many have gone that way, searched desperately and discovered that it is an effort in futility. May be you might make the whole difference, but the truth is there is no need to re-invent the wheels, it has already been invented. Let's build from there. Thanks.
Thanks for taking ur time to make me understand ur bible. bt i have chosen my path and anywhere it leads me, i am prepared to bear d consequences. Finally, from d way u write, u'r very intelligent. Try to study ur bible carefully and wit an open mind and also ask ur pastors logical questions. u'll b shocked dat they have no clue about what they'r doing
Aaronsrod: Your sin is pride. You ask questions which are not for humans brains. You must be humble and fear God. Beg for forgiveness or hell will be your portion.
Please explain to me how pride is my sin. So i shuld jst swallow every word written in ur bible because i shuld fear ur god and his hell. u serve god nt because u love and cherish him, but because u'r scared of him throwing u into hell. dats not love, dats cowardice. Until u open ur eyes to realise d lies in d bible, u'r notin bt a zombie.
kgr8mike: If you don't believe, no problems. It is not a big deal. You've been given the power to control your thoughts. God doesn't want you in hell and does not send anyone that way, you make the choice yourself. If you so choose well it is a choice.
You see, we were not created to be remote-controlled. God is not a tyrant. He created us free and is happy when we exercise that freedom.
You are right to say you were created without your consent. That means you were sent and you were sent for a purpose. Remember that purpose has a time frame. Fulfil it.
Your were sent without your consent. Then it calls for questions : Why am I here? Who sent me here? Why was not another sent?
You were sent without your consent, that means the life you have is not yours but a given life. It was given by the 'Giver' of life.
Ask the the 'Giver' the purpose for giving you this one life.
I wish you well in your quest.
I am nt an atheist or an agnostic, i am a deist. i believe in a creator of d universe. bt i jst cant worship a god who threatens me wit fire and everlasting torment because i refuse to be a zombie, who believes every crap written in a book. i am in search of d creator, bt nt through any religious body, most especially christianity. I wish u well too
so in ur mind nw u'r trying to win a soul for christ. u think ur god grants u a special favor by putting u into a christian family and will send d muslims, budhists and oda religion to hell for nt believing in him, whereas they were given d chance to choose d home they want to belong to. a god who derives pleasure in sending his creation to hell to burn eternally does nt deserve my worship. i didnt tell him to create me in d first place. f*** u and ur blood sucking god
kgr8mike: I am a Christian by understanding and not because of geography or family.
The earth will be a chaotic mass if it is not ruled by the principles of justice, equity and fair play. Eg: Syria today that is war ridden.
Men are created moral agents. Their conscience is alive. This conscience taste what is good and what is bad. This conscience wants to be on the right all the time. When it is on the right, the whole body system works optimal. But when on the wrong the system malfunctions.
Then for every act there is a corresponding reward. You will not think that you will go on and on hurting every one and go unpunished. No it does not follow if the earth will remain on the principle of Justice.
Now there is also a place for forgiveness. And forgiveness is a higher version of goodness & Justice. When given and received, the earth become a miniature paradise.
So the Owner of this place who is God wants you here and so sent you. He also wants your years here fulfilled. That's why he sent Jesus to pay the price of your errors so that you can enjoy forgiveness as you fulfill your life's calling here on earth.
It is called the gospel. It is called the good news of God. We tell every man this. And as many as believe are saved. They experience a kind of peace beyond words.
Try it.
U'r nt a christian by understanding. u'r a christian because u were born into a christian family. if ur type had bn born into a Muslim home, u wuld av joined BH. lemme also drop dis
kgr8mike: Well dear, you probably just arrived this earth about 20 - 30 years ago, at most 40. That's about how long you have been here. The earth has been and will be after you have lived. There is an Unmoved Mover in charge of the whole universe of which earth is a component. You are as it were a miniature fraction of this whole universe. You are in the midst of something bigger than yourself.
This Unmoved Mover must be just and Almighty for Him to keep the universe in place.
Forget the theory of the big bang. It is false.
This Unmoved Mover is God. And because he is Just, he has set this universe to run on principals and laws without which the whole will be a chaotic mass. These principals are set in the hearts of men. They meet it sometimes and sometimes fail.
And because the heart of man is always accusing him of what he did and left undone, this Unmoved Mover though Just is also merciful.
He in mercy wants you settled to pursue the dreams in your heart without thinking of the limiting factors of what you did and left undone. He wants your 80,90,100 years adventure here fruitful.
So he sent himself, became a human incarnate and to meet for himself the demands of justice. He did that in Jesus because he is merciful. So Jesus is the merciful part of this Unmoved Mover.
Dear don't use your 100 years journey proving that the God of trillions of trillions of years don't exist. That will make no sense.
U still dont get it. lemme educate u more wit these memes. pls go thru dem thoroughly and ask urself some questions.
kgr8mike: You need to get a mouth wash. Your language smells. Such words are not used by the refined.
So I recommend you receive Jesus into your heart for immediate cleansing. You do that by saying : Lord Jesus I receive you into my heart. Help my un-belief.
If you do, I assure you of peace and a clean mouth afterwards because he will come into your heart and fine-tune your thoughts.
Try.
Africans and their slave mentality. I dont need ur Christ in my lyf. lemme educate u a lil
kgr8mike: Jesus is not an appearance, He is a person. He is not that image we have in calenders and films and in status and every where in the internet, that's an actor.
The Jesus of the Bible was sent into this world, He walked the streets of Jerusalem, He died but He rose again. He is seated at the right hand of the Father.
But as many as receive Him, He gives the power to become sons of God. And He translates them as it were to His place where he will not be an apparition to them but a Person.
At that stage you will no longer be moved when you hear He is there or He appeared at Makurdi because you know you have been with Him all along.

sweetyme001: I was raised in a religion that claimed "god is love", but he acts like a monster on every page of the bible They claim god's love is unconditional, yet the bible has more conditions than the iTunes terms of service agreement Many good parents can really teach God a few things about parenting because a father who dips his children in lava simply because they didnt reciprocate love back to him is a monster and not a heavenly father. And this father is who one needs to distance him or herself from. I know I'm gonna burn in hell for this
gentts: Sorry for those that say there is no Bible hell fire,
whether you like it or not, you will be a believer when you find yourself there,
then it will be too late for salvation.
Last month, while listening to NatGeo Channel,
it was discovered by scientists that the earth is sitting on an endless quantity of fire,
the fuel source of the fire, I think is coal.
I don`t know if that is the hell fire, but that is just a warning.
You don`t believe in hell fire, what about if after death, you discover there is one, and that the place is going to be your home, not for the next 10,100, 1,000,000, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, etc years, but for eternity, then what will you do? God cannot be bribed, remember!
Christ is our Salvation, He is the ONLY ARK of our salvation, run to Him and be save.
gerrarahia mhen!!! shit!!!!. e b lyk say u no go school. so u dont knw what molten magma is? hw molten magma wan take b hell fire??. religion has really collapsed d thinking faculty of many africans. u better wake up and start thinkin for yourself
cold: Hmmm..if hell does exist then rest assured everybody is going to one hell or the other. Christians will end up in Allah's hell, Muslims will end up in Yahweh's hell, Hindus will end up Sikhs hell, Buddhists will end up in Shinto's hell. And Atheists...well i guess we'll be evenly distributed amongst the various hell departments. Furthermore, these various 'hells' will be split into different departments. For instance, Adventists and Jehovah Witnesses will be sent to the Roman Catholic department. Baptists and Methodists will be moved to the Anglican department. Pentecostals of all shades will be relocated to Protestant department. And so on and so forth. Same goes for Sunnis burning in Shi'a's hell and vice versa. It will be interesting watching from my vantage point how these various gods allot hell and heaven/paradise candidates amongst themselves
d best comment ever. hw i wish i can give u my babe for one hour( bt cant happen sha). ur brain dey there
Femiwilli: NAIRALAND MODS AND THEIR ANTI-CHRISTIAN AGENDA
Many many muslims have turned to Jesus from Islam.
yet it never makes the headlines on Nairaland.
People turn to Jesus because Jesus is able to do what neither allah nor his dead prophet mohammed can do.
We all know that Jesus raises the dead and heals as the bible say's
Matthew 15: 29] And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30] And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and HE HEALED THEM
BECAUSE ALLAH & MOHAMMED CANNOT HEAL; THE BLIND, DEAF & DUMB ARE HATED
SURA 8:22 Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the deaf, the dumb,
SURA 2:17-18 Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darkness, where they cannot see, Deaf, dumb and blind.
So please tell me why you should leave Jesus that heals & is alive to follow mohammed that is dead and cannot heal? This muslim man found out for himself that allah could not heal him so he went to Jesus that heals. THAT IS POWER
eagleonearth: it takes one man to cause a revolution. He's doing what his predecessor could not do by openly acknowledging the Lordship of Christ. kikikikikiki....am laughing at u
laughing at who? dat dude is more enlightened than u
emmasege: Who created Oduduwa? THE WORD, who was in the beginning with God & without whom nothing was made that was made. I'm talking about J E S U S, who "is" before Abraham or even Oduduwa. He was in the beginning with God and he's God (John 1.1). Ooni was right on point on this, though some may disagree with him, particularly the children of the bondwoman (Haggai).
please when i was applying today, i didn't see any place where they asked if i would love to be redeployed to my state. also, i haven't gotten any confirmation. is it normal
