Instead of them to be praying for more success and blessings, desperation is not good o. Very soon, people will start asking them to manage any male as husband. All this demonstration is not even necessary; husbands will not fall from the sky. Even irreligious ladies are getting married. In fact, this is extreme, unless they are actually praying that God should not allow them to fall victim to the wrong guy. Many of them do not have a spiritual problem; their problem is that they do not socialize. Some of these ladies might even be very decent; they may just be too religious and rigid. Some ladies will just stay indoors expecting God to send them a husband miraculously, while some other ladies, including indecent ones, are attending different occasions and mingling with various people. |

Nice one. |
TenQ:You are right. It is impossible to preach salvation without speaking about the fierce judgement of sin in hell. Someone without pimples will likely not be interested in buying a pimple cream. We have to make sinners realize that they are sinners before they can see the need for salvation, but we have to do this with love and humility. You cannot walk up to a lady with pimples on her face and say, "Look at your face! Eww! It is so disgusting! You better buy this pimple cream for your face; it's for your own good o!" without expecting a similar reaction. Even if the lady curses you or insults you, she cannot be considered a witch; she is simply reacting to your actions. But if you approach the lady and say, "Sister, this pimple cream is very good. It works very fast. Just buy it and test it; it will clear all these pimples on your face." You would likely not receive a negative reaction and the lady will gladly buy it if she is interested. One day, I saw a man preaching, and I couldn't hold back my laughter. He was just looking around at people's clothing and commenting on it. A lady even passed by and hissed because she knew his words were directed at her. A backslider might listen to his preaching and repent, but I doubt an unbeliever will do the same. Evangelism is primarily intended to attract new believers but his preaching lacked the substance to do that. |
Guys, are you a virgin? |
MaxInDHouse:🙄 |
Dtruthspeaker:I agree that there are some hardened sinners, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to win their souls. If you truly love that your unbelieving friend (and the many other unbelievers around you), you will put in the effort and try different tactics to win their souls. What will it benefit us if a sinner perishes? Let's stoop to their level, like Paul did, in order to win their souls. Some of the most genuine men of God today, who are very passionate about the work of God, might have been led to Him by a stubborn believer who did not give up on them. |
Dtruthspeaker:His first comment already gave him away; he sounded like he was from one of those small groups that have headache with Christianity. When I saw his second comment, I thought I had misquoted him. Anyway, God does not want people to perish in their ignorance. I pray that he eventually sees the light. |
I doubt it is enough in this economy, but even if you and your partner decide to manage it for now, it won't be enough when you start bearing children. I would advise you to set up a business for your partner so that she can also support the family. |
MaxInDHouse:I guess you just changed the conversation into an agrument and went off point because of my reply. This comment actually makes sense. I just read it now. I didn't know you had posted another comment. I was trying to reply your previous comment again when I quoted this one by mistake. Your previous comment sounded like it was from a non-Christian trying to criticize Christians. Anyway, sorry about that. |
MaxInDHouse:Okay, I have heard you. It's nice conversing with you. If you have more opinions, you can share them. It's just that I am not a talkative. I get bored when the conversation is not relevant. |
MaxInDHouse:I am not condemning you. God can save anyone. I pray that one of these days, He will guide you to see the true Light. |
MaxInDHouse:😂 Lol, you are very funny. I pray you eventually see the light. |
Dtruthspeaker:You have to put in effort and show love to make sure unbelievers see reasons to repent and follow Jesus. The phrase "sin no more" comes after Jesus has healed someone, shown mercy, or revealed Himself to someone. Unbelievers have to see a sign to repent. Have you ever seen someone advertising and saying, "If you like, buy it; if you like, don't buy it"? Your harshness won't bring people to Christ or force them to accept Him. Various methods can be employed to invite people to Christ, but make sure it is done with Love. Others need your compassion and empathy. Make others feel loved, not hated or condemned. There is more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine Saints. You can't win souls with pride. Jesus humbled Himself to win souls to the extent that the Pharisees were questioning His actions. He made friends with sinners and even dined with them. When Jesus told people to go and sin no more, He did not write a list of their sins and start condemning them with it. Unbelievers and backsliders are not the same. Unbelievers are those that are yet to accept the truth, while backsliders are those that know the truth but turned away from it. You can't feed solids to babies when their teeth are not strong enough to eat solids. Some of our ways are confusing to unbelievers, but after they accept Christ into their lives, you can teach them more, they themselves might even be eager to learn more. In 1 Corinthians 14:23, Paul even set rules for speaking in tongues so that unbelievers won't get confused. You mentioned somewhere that some people will not go to Heaven. You are right, but that should not put us off from making efforts to win souls. It is not for us to decide who is going to Heaven and who is not; leave that to God. We ourselves have to keep seeking God's mercy. In 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, Paul describes how much effort he puts in just to win much souls. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. |
MaxInDHouse:I am a Christian and I stongly believe that Christianity is the true religion. This is just a wake-up call to my fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord who are unknowingly pushing people away from Christ with their actions and words. Some of us, not all of us, are missing the main purpose of evangelism. |
Dtruthspeaker:A liar cannot become a judge over a fornicator just because he does not fornicate, and a malicious person cannot become a judge over a thief just because he does not steal. God does not put one sin over the other; all sins are equal in His sight. Don't you know that Jesus of Nazareth has taken the punishment for all sins. There is a chance for repentance, so there is no need for condemnation. If God decided to wipe out sinners, who would remain? Let him who is without sin now cast the first stone. |
Christianity entails Love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and so on. As an ambassador of Christ, you represent Him here on earth. You must be mindful of your words and actions in public places and online. Don't join others in condemning anyone. Words have the power to destroy and to save. You can decide to use your words however you want, but just remember that you will be judged by that same measure you judge others. If your words lead others to commit suicide, their blood will be on your hands. The people you are pointing fingers at and condemning are the very people God primarily assigned you to, not those who already know Him. They may be damaged, but He can repair them if they are led to Him. It is not the number of Christian brothers and sisters that are impressed by your message that matters, but the souls that you have won. You will find some Christians in public places condemning unbelievers in the name of evangelism. You will also find some doing the same online. Evangelism is not a tool to brag about one's holiness. The purpose of evangelism is to win souls, not to condemn sinners. We know that you know the Bible front and back, but not all preaching is meant for evangelism. If your evangelism is incapable of winning souls, which is the primary goal of evangelism, then you have rendered it useless. What is the point of an advertisement if it fails to attract new customers? With all your noise and ranting online and in public places, ask yourself how many souls have you won? We are expected to support others when they are down. Stop participating in condemning others. Why look down on unbelievers and tell them they are going to hell? God is not interested in sending anyone to hell. That is why He came to the world in human form and used His own blood to pay the ransom for all sins. Preach love and demonstrate love. We can only win lost souls with love. Stop directing souls to the devil. Those people who have been condemned by the world, win their souls to Christ. He is able to transform their lives. |
This is what some people have turned the society into: ladies are now bragging about their sexual performance in bed, while guys brag about how much they spend on ladies. Some guys are only getting what they deserve. They treat their girlfriends like sex objects and, in return, their girlfriends treat them like ATMs. Most guys don't even know the talents or potential of their girlfriends. All they know is that she is sexually active. How many times have they recommended books or ideas to their girlfriends? All they know how to recommend are sex positions. Does it always have to be sex and sex talk? Why not have meaningful discussions, spend quality time together, inspire each other, talk about business plans, future ambitions, and also do other things together. |
Instead of picking a lady from the village, look for a young lady of about eighteen years old that is from a decent family and groom her. |
yarimo:Calm down, it is a simple act of charity. |
