Christianity EtcRe: The Right Prayer For Repentance From Sin by midnighter(f): 10:14pm On Jan 06, 2020
Maximus69:
You need to know why the Israelites were asked to REPENT (TURN AROUND) from their sins!
The sin there was not Adamic sin that's binding on all humans, but their rejection of God's law covenant!

If you want to become a Christian today, you must first study the Old Testament to know how God dealt with the nation of Israel then put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself
"If i was an Israelite back then, what decision am i likely to make in this situation?"

That's how you will begin to appreciate faithful servants of God before Christianity was commissioned, then ask yourself
" out of all these religious groups claiming Christians today, which one is following the footsteps of first century Christians"

The term REPENT could only be applied in your case if you're fully aware of what Christianity means and you're gradually derailing due to the anxieties of life.
Without that there is nothing to REPENT from?
Okay Sir

You opened your legs for a married man? I cannot feel sorry for these types of women they are too shameless. He will never leave his wife for you. Your child will not be a priority to him because he has a family already.

I'm talking about a beautiful lady, knowing that a particular guy toasting you has a wife and has kids, and then you still have sex with him and get pregnant

If she wasn't aware, I could understand the deceit. But being aware and getting pregnant is what I don't understand [/color]
It's just a risk that didn't work out.

USA said it is not moving its military out of Iraq after Iraqi parliament voted to ask them to leave, isn't that an occupation of Iraq?
That vote was not representative of the stakeholders' opinion; Iraqi Sunnis and Kurds don't want them to go anywhere.

Don't insult me... I never insulted you in this argument if you mind.... I've been holding my tongue because I think you're older, don't let me loose that respect.

Simple I saw your comment in one of the pages of this thread I replied, asking you a question, you kept dribbling me with Bullshit instead of you to tell me the page you answered the question, you're here insulting me. No wam o.
Please excuse the insult. I apologise.

Neither have you made any point too in anyway... You simply only misunderstand all I type or pretend to misunderstand it by calling it trash.
So God used that nature of men to plunder to push this so called 'truth of Christ'. He couldn't spread his truth since he's all mighty and powerful and can do all. Do you know the amount of Blood splattered on the floor for your so called truth?

You have not yet told me why you think Christ is the only way, you keep dodging the question. Why?
I have already answered that question before in the thread if you could bother to read something for once in your ignorant existence, which I know you wont.

I just pray this people should not drag Nigeria to their stupid war. But seriously each of the both country will want to drag Nigeria along because of some reasons. 1 Nigeria is the best location as ally because of population and power in West. 2 Al-Shabab striked the joint military base of US and Kenya yesterday night and American military commander in Africa has promised retaliation. 3 Iran have interest in northern parts of Nigeria to gain the Shia influence. But seriously NIGERIA HAVE BETTER TO GAIN IF THEY JUST FOLD THEIR HANDS AND DID NOT TAKE A SIDE OF OUR OIL AND DEMAND FOR IT IS GONNA INCREASE IF IRAN IS INTO WAR. i know those people that understand opec and warfare will understand better.
And the funniest thing is that their terrorist brethren have absolutely no regard for black people!

They always overcompensate and try to curry favour by staging copycat attacks to feel among but their Arab cohorts will never acknowledge them

A war with Iran by the westerners will lead to global war, the same with saudi Arabia. Not a conventional war but terrorism on all fronts. We all know these two countries are the major fronts and source of the two divisions of Islam, both have a lot of extremists and sympathisers attached to them.

Even your brother or sister might just turn to your killer over night because of religion. Is not about having the largest tech or army na common sense. Pls lets be guided.
Exactly. A lot of them secretly agree with Isis if you talk to them in their houses.

They already have a powerful weapon which is human drones all over the world.

Though I have to say that Shiaa muslims are much less inclined toward terrorism than their Sunni counterparts. Its difficult to see a Shia staging a spontaneous terror attack

Thanks.

An alternative perspective.
You just proved my point by calling it an "alternative perspective". Thats all it is! Now post the "alternative perspective" of Native Americans, Chinese and Germans to show how irrational you are being. Every culture has some primitive superstition concerning animals, especially birds.

If you want to enlighten people then acknowledge the limits of their culture and explain to them in a neutral tone why they are wrong.

Dont start forming superior and ranting about "Africans" as if you are not an African.

Youre just as racist as the people who colonised us and forced their ideologies down our throats.

Don't mind the girl. angry Those tassels on her hijab, can even catch fire, or be regarded as a potential hazard, if she is working near a naked flame, in the kitchen.

She could have tried using a short turban, or asked the office to provide her with appropriate head gear, for work. sad

She just wanted cheap publicity, o jaré. Anything to trend, for some people. undecided
Thank you ooo...dont mind these rubbish people trying to make excuses for iniquity.

Islam does not tell people to be outwardly disrespectful to their employers.

They would have been happy to give her something to cover her head or discuss options with her if she had tried to behave like an enlightened person and not some backward imp who doesnt know how to relate her concerns politely with people.

Everybody knows that different species of birds have positive or negative connotations depending on the culture.

Owls, ravens, blackbirds and crows are all thought to be omens of bad luck or death in various places.

Try to educate yourself on native myth and folklore of different cultures before embarrassing yourself in public.

The thing is what makes you think the rest are wrong? Explain that. And It would be the same reason why the others think yours is wrong. SMH... White men just came with a religion from no where and you're defending it with all your might. Think you think the colonialists would have ever given us something to help our selves? No it's to actually just exploit and control us.

THINK.
Youre simply saying rubbish... That they forced us to do away with our traditions and customs doesnt mean that the message of Christ is wrong...God uses human evil for His glory

Its in the nature of humans to plunder and subdue each other....still that does not negate the truth of Christ.

You have not succeeded in making a single point throughout the course of this discussion.

Then that's it na.. Then it's all made up. Thank goodness you know it's older religions... If they (Intelligent Humans) could come up with the same concept before Christianity then it's all made up. That's the point. It's actually a show of ignorance if you just ignore it that a major key factor in your religion that you revere so much and have given all your time to is found in older religions that you describe as devilish and barbaric. It is you that doesn't reason well. It shows it's all fake, copy and paste.
The point is not the concept. The point is the legitimacy of Jesus' claims.

The idea of Messiah is not a new one.

So many Messiahs are still proclaiming themselves even today, yet they are all TOTALLY WRONG and Jesus is right. The Jews and Muslims are still waiting for their Messiah, not knowing that He is already come.

Nigeria operates a similar style of governance with that of America, does it mean that our own is totally illegitimate just because its not novel?

Is it not the actions of politicians that determine whether or not the system is workable and not the framework itself?
Christianity EtcRe: Signs You Are Losing Faith In God by midnighter(f): 10:34am On Jan 06, 2020
Sinistami:
It is actually a very disturbing problem if other older religions have this same christ like character as the bible. It is because it would feel like there's something they're not telling us.
You dont get it. If older religions have the "same Christ-like character" then what remains is to check what the difference is between their own version and that of Christianity.

In thousands of years of religion and myth, is it so impossible that some intelligent humans could come up with a similar idea, being faced with the ubiquitous problem of human sin?

Why is that an issue?

You dont reason very well, thats your problem.

Sinistami:
If eternal death means Hell then do you know the concept of hell was made up by the Romans to control the growing roman populace at that time. Do you know Jesus Christ shares the same story with several other deities like Buddha, Horus etc which are even more older than the christian religion it self. In fact there's no proof of Christ ever dying. Most and all the experiences that Christians claim comes from God are experienced by people from other religions too. Ask your Muslim brothers.
Look my friend, you need to try to be sensible. What you wrote up there is not even making sense.

Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea for 10 years and had Jesus convicted of sedition and sentenced to death. Some years after that, he was removed from office for improper conduct and sent back to Rome. You can find this information anywhere.

The fact that the concept of a negative afterlife is replicated in faiths all around the world is not a problem.

Eternal death is an existence devoid of the presence of God. As far as the person has understood this, the choice is theirs.

The fact that other religions contain similar themes with the life and times of Jesus is not a problem. He does not exist in a culture-less vacuum. His case must be made to human beings in a way that they can understand.

In fact, that is even more reason to look into and discover the truth of the Cross. If Jesus' story were totally unheard of, you would still complain.

If you dont have any serious refutations to tell me, I'll desist from answering you hereinafter because all of what youre writing is just hollow conjecture that can never bother any Christian on the whole of planet Earth.

I see your point, but does that particular issue negate or obfuscate the truth of the Cross?

https://www.gotquestions.org/definition-ekklesia.html

https://biblehub.com/topical/c/church.htm

What you need to understand is that all these things are a means to an end. The point is that Christ Jesus died to save us from punishment for our sins.

The enduring and steadfast love of Christ cannot be dulled or dampened by malevolent endeavour or human failure; rather "all things work together for good".

If you say that the modern church should be revolutionised to suit the "original" set-up alluded to in that link you provided, fine. But that does not take away even a grain from the truth of the Cross.
