She is not busy, someone else is taking her attention. Never ignore your gut. I think he should give her some space. You will see the relationship will die a natural death. The relationship is still new they should be all over eachother now.
Thanks, that's what I plan to do.

Tell that to Demas, Judas, Ananias or Sapphira.
I don't know why you're mentioning Demas, the bible didnt even say that he left Christ, he only abandoned Paul because he probably wanted some "earthly comfort". That may have been wrong but I don't even think that it's a sin because he didn't abandon Christ. Or do you follow your pastor to every where he goes? Or have you seen Demas in hell?

Judas also never got born again. Do you know what it means to be a born again Christian?

The Bible said, "a certain man named Ananias". I don't think you know the difference between going to church and becoming born again.

You misunderstood me. After she stopped responding on WhatsApp, the guy called and she picked. The problem is that before, both of them initiate contact. And they communicated everyday. Now, only the guy initiates contact.

Sensationalism like this only excites unserious people. Sin is very serious and will get anyone separate from God even if you are Jesus Christ. Talk straight and get sinners saved. Evangelism is not comedy or game.
The Gospel is supposed to excite you. Do you know the meaning of the word, Gospel? It means good news. If somebody gives you good news shouldn't you be excited. If the "gospel" you received didn't excite you then it's not the true gospel.

Now, sin does separate man from God but Jesus Christ has paid the price for sin. So sin is no longer an issue between a born again Christian and God.

Bro! Heaven is not by luck or Chance! Don't let this compromise grace message being put around Deceive you. Grace is not a License to Sin.
Romans 6:1 says will you remain in sin that grace may abound ? GOD Forbid.

Heaven is a Prepared place for Prepared People. There is a path to Heaven! There is also a Path to Hell!

The Bible calls the Path to Heaven a Narrow way and calls the Path to Hell a Broadway.
The Path to Heaven is too Narrow to contain sin.

Don't joke with Sin!
Don't play sin!
What you do with sin is to repent from it and ask JESUS to wash and Clean you up.

The Grace of GOD is what Helps us to do away and stay away from sin. The Grace of GOD is not ticket for you to sin.

GOD is Holy! HIS eyes are too Pure to behold Iniquity.Heaven is Holy!

Don't Deceive yourself with Sin and say You in Grace! You are Decieving yourself ooo!

Strive towards Holiness and Purity! Ask GOD to Help you! Give yourself to the Word of GOD. The More you give yourself to GOD and HIS Word, the More Grace you receive! It is not by power!

A Word is enough for the wise!
My question to you that is supposedly not joking with sin is that are you holy?

If your answer is yes, then good for you.

But if it's no, then have you are accepted that you are most likely going to hell fire? Or is it just a game of chance to you? If rapture meets you in a holy state you go to heaven and if not you're going to hell fire. Is that the fate that you've accepted for yourself?

If one has to "to live according to the commandments of God", then certainly, he would be Working!

And if Working, then he definitely has and enjoys God's Support.

And if a person has God's Support, definitely such person has Grace!

And therefore, Grace and Works, do perfectly work together.
I did not say that one has to live according to commandments to be accepted by God or to go to heaven. I said that it was beneficial to do so, there's a big difference between the two.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 10:4

This means that the works of the law can't make you righteous or holy and since without holiness no man can see God, this means that the works of the law cannot make you see God

however, there are a lot of advantages to living according to the commandments of God. It helps you to avoid a lot of unnecessary stress and problems in life and it generally helps you to live a peaceful life as a Christian. But it does not qualify you for heaven.

This is not True! Ananias and Sapphire, Lied and thought to Deceive.

I Corinthians 5:1 was about fornication.

And surely, we know where they shall land.
How do you know that they were really born again?

And how do you know where they will end up?

And you're totally missing my point, sin has negative consequences on earth. For example, if you commit fornication, you can contact an STD that can kill you but it doesn't mean that you won't go to heaven. That's my point.

Righteousness2:
JESUS Christ has Paid the Price for the redemption of Man but Man Must Subscribe to the Price that was paid.

Man has a Part to Play. JESUS paid the Prive but HE will not Force to Believe. HE tells you what to do and gives you the Freedom of Choice to choose.

For Man to be Saved, He Must Subscribe to JESUS Christ and Live according to HIS Command.
I agree that after you get saved it is beneficial to live according to the commandments of God. But the way you do this is by fellowshipping with God, studying the word of God and allowing God to change your life, not by thinking that God is angry with you or condemning you anytime you commit sin, this belief puts Christians in bondage. As a Christian the ultimate goal of our life is to be in a state of perfect Communion with God, so I am not advocating that Christians should live in sin, but my point is that sin can not make you lose your salvation

You can either make heaven by grace or by works but it can never be by grace plus works because that implies that Grace is not enough and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is more than enough. Also believe me, if it is by works then nobody is going to heaven.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6

[i]Bro, Leave Grammar! Sin will take you to Hell.
Not Believe in JESUS Christ is Sin. It will take you to Hell.
I agree. Which is why I said that the only sin that will take people to hell is not believing in Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for sins.

Righteousness2:
fornication, Adultery, lying , stealing, LGBT, envy, Deceit, Drunkness, malice, Murder, abortion, Abomination of any kind, Witchcraft, etc are all Sins and will take one to Hell.
They are sins, but Jesus Christ already paid the price for all of them.

Righteousness2:
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
I agree with the passage but it only applies to people who have not accepted the forgiveness for those sins. Like I said earlier, Jesus Christ already paid the price for all those sins, so the only condition under which any of those things will take anybody to hell fire is if they don't accept the forgiveness for the sins, then it can take them to hell fire. But once you get born again then those sins can't take you to hellfire. All your sins have been forgiven past, present and future. All you have to do is believe and receive the forgiveness for all those sins.
RomanceI Need Advice, Is The Relationship Over? by michaelwestern(op):
It happened to me and not a friend

I'm in a serious relationship with a lady for about 5 months now. From the beginning of the relationship until recently, they had regular communications with each other in form of WhatsApp chats everyday or phone calls when busy. They always replied each other's messages on WhatsApp without exception.

The problem now is that communications has reduced drastically from her end, for example she has not replied a message he sent to her on WhatsApp for one week now, which has never happened before. Also for like 2 weeks now she has not called him, and has not initiate any conversation with him which is very odd

The question now is, should he be worried or is it just the normal way that relationships slow down after a while? He has questioned her about it before, when it was not even this bad and her response was that she was busy. Thank you.

Modified

After reading the comments here and with everyone saying the same thing. I changed my approach and asked for her reasons for breaking up with me and she confirmed that the relationship is truly over. I'll try to stay away from relationships for now and focus on building my relationship with God. Nothing can be compared to the love of God. A big thank you to everyone that replied. We move on
Christianity EtcSin Doesn't Take People To Hell by michaelwestern(op): 3:38pm On Mar 10, 2022
Conventional sins like; lies, murder, fornication etc do not take people to hell fire. The only sin that takes people to hell is the sin of not accepting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Every sin, past, present and future has been dealt with by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, once and for all. When you get saved, your salvation is secured by the Holy Spirit and no sin whatsoever can make you lose your salvation and take you to hell fire.

The only way that you can lose your salvation is by rejecting Jesus Christ. Sin can never make you lose your salvation. God has forgiven you of your sins, past present and future

Now does this mean that you should go and live in sin? The Bible said God forbid. There are many negative effects of sin but losing your salvation is not one of them. Consistently living in sin can desensitize you to the things of the spirit to the point that you might actually deny Christ and lose your salvation but individual sins like murder, adultery, fornication can not and will never take anyone to hell or make you lose your salvation . Condemnation when we commit sin is one of the major tools that the devil use to keep us in the bondage of sin. The moment you are accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, sin is no longer a problem between you and God.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Hebrew 10:14

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Romans 3:28

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Romans 4:6-8

Why is English language required to gain admission into the university?
There's a difference between being able to pass an English exam and knowing how to construct a grammatically correct sentence.

A science student does not have any opportunity or incentive to learn English language in the university except for personal development.

Just be grateful that you had the opportunity to learn it growing, i know you probably speak it at home with your parents and siblings. Some people were taught in primary school with their native tongues.

What has English got to do with master's? I'm confused, do they teach people English language in Universities apart from electives in 100 level.

Just in case you don't know. What determines your proficiency in English is your formative years. You can just improve later, if you didn't attend a good pry and sec School, you are done for. It doesn't matter the university you attend except you decide to learn it on your own. My point is, it has nothing to do with your level of advanced education.

Adeyeye09:
it's simply the sin of unbelieve....you grieve God mostly by your lack of faith in Him.
Many think it's fornication or murder which is the major sin but doubting what has been said by God is even greater!
The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is counting God's word as trash and having zero faith in the Lord Jesus
Grieving the Holy Spirit is different from sinning against the Holy Spirit which the Bible said can't be forgiven.

The unsaved people and even some Christians operate in unbelief but that does not mean that they cannot receive forgiveness from God

Amen


Fools do not know that hatred is as a result of prolonged anger, they just want to enjoy letter..

Many never read through. They jumped to comment
This is misinformation, I get what you are trying to do but the issue of sinning against the Holy Spirit is too important for you to be trying to make indirect connections between Bible verses.

For a very important subject like this, you should just say what the Bible says exactly not connecting anger to bitterness and hatred etc.

What the Bible describes as sin against the Holy Spirit is when you attribute the works of the Holy Spirit to demons.
Jesus Christ gave the warning about sinning against the Holy Spirit when people were accusing him using demonic powers to perform miracles thereby attributing the miracles to the devil instead of the Holy Spirit. Peace

OP I think disagree with you on this, the title is misleading. In my understanding, what you posted as his actual speech does not seem to be as an extension of the title, it's more like that Bible passage that says "forsake not the fellowship of the brethren".
Your statement can be right only if when the pope said "church", he meant the entire body of Christ. But I seriously doubt that, I believe he meant that you can't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ outside the roman Catholic Church, which is false.

grin and Jesus also gave the keys to the kingdom to "Peters confession" abi...keep fooling yourself alone.


It's in black and white, it doesn't need explanation:

John20:22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”


Matt16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
There are two ways that you can take that verse. 1. Jesus Christ gave the best power to forgive sins exclusively to the apostles alone or 2. He gave the power to every beleiver that is filed with the Holy Spirit.

But you can't take this verse and use it to justify going to confess your sins to a priest

Is your god different from the one that hardened Pharaoh's mind so that he can go about on killing rampage?

Also, does your god send people to a place of eternal torture for using the gift of freewill? If Yes, then that's not free will!
Giving you free will doesn't mean that there are no consequences to your actions. With free will comes the responsibility of making the right choices. And the Holy Spirits always convicts sinners whenever the gospel is preached, so deciding to ignore the conviction of Spirit leaves you without excuse.

Take You for example, you have the opportunity of avoiding eternal torture simply by accepting Jesus Christ, no money or work involved but you choose to be arguing about free will and pharoah.

The way u guys talk sometimes...

If I tell u I was with Donald Trump yesterday I am sure most of u will start asking a lot of questions just because Donald is the president of USA. A lot will not take me serious, many will dig into the said conversation and ask reasonable questions just to be sure I am not lying. Many will want to know my history, what I do for a living and how I even got Donald's contact.

But u people freely open ur mouth to say you spoke with the creator and when asked same questions u would ask me if I told u I spoke with Trump, the questioner becomes labeled.

Making claim that u spoke to the creator is a huge claim. Much bigger than I claiming I spoke with Trump. It requires a huge prove. If u can't prove it better not say it rather make flimsy excuses when asked to prove ur claim.

If God exists... Speaking with him (given the way the world has been as we know it) would be one of the greatest phenomena to happen amongst us. Such individual must definitely poses certain characteristics like ability to fly, tell the future or even not die.

If I can't be just ordinary to see trump, u definitely can't be just supernatural to speak with the creator. U need to be extrasuperordinary to do this.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys take the God u claim to worship for granted. Look around you. Look at the heavens, study the galaxies and other planets, look at the sun, the endless universe, the moon, humans and everything under the water. Imagine how long the earth must have existed and how many people have lived on earth. now u tell me u speak with the creator of all these?

Please we are no kids here, don't joke with our intelligence.
It is God himself that made it easy for man to speak with Him. And that goes to show the kind of love that God has for us. Why not serve a God that good and generous?
