Weselion: How do you know you've blasphemed against the holy spiritWhen we sin generally,we get convicted by the holy spirit and some of us go ahead to ask for forgiveness and some just kick it off and move on with their lives. See what Jesus said concerning those who either blasphemes against the holy spirit,intends to blaspheme against the holy spirit or could blaspheme the holy spirit if they continue in this manner :Mathew 12:22-24''Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and[a] mute man both spoke and saw.And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub,the ruler of the demons.” From the above,the statement of the Pharisees are tantamount to blasphemy against the holy spirit ! Weselion,anytime i see myself speaking ill against the works(miracles and heavenly wisdom) of a TRUE man of God or i try to attribute their calling (teaching,miracles & ways as inspired by the holy spirit)to that of the devil or demons or of man made,then it could be seen as blasphemy against the holy spirit.Please note Jesus isn't concerned with Himself here but is concerned with the being behind the work.HE isn't concerned with any other being but THE HOLY SPIRIT.See what HE (Jesus) said to let us know that we can call him or any other person what ever we like but once you grieve the powers (holy spirit)that works in HIM,then it will not be possible for you to be forgiven.-Mathew 12:32 ''And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.' Funny enough,wen you start to blaspheme the holy spirit you might not know that's what you are doing.But thank God for the pharisees who did or tried to do it before the admonition of Jesus. Very true that there are fake men of God all over.All of them can not be fake. As Jesus was seen as fake be the teachers of the law then so do we still see some TRUE followers of Jesus as fake today. So for us not to make the mistake of blaspheming against the holy spirit by hitting out at the TRUE men of God and the powers that works in them,let us bridle our tongues ! -This is the core of this message. May God help you and i to understand the powers and spirit that wrought s miracles in a man so we do not blaspheme against the holy spirit. Let's bridle our tongue God help us all |
rhymz: Religion is a CURSE seriously. And can the hypocritical Christians here shut the hell up with the their unneccessary tirade against the islam, muslims are equally victimized by these religiously brainwashed looneies. The point here is that religious extremism is dangeroue whether perpetrated by muslims or christians. Fact is, we are all better off without all these religions-christianity, Islam, Hindu and co. Their books and teachings can be vague and susceptible to misinterpretations and extremism. Christians have done their own in the past now it is the turn of Islam to do its own. Religion is a curse!Christianity is not a religion ! The man Jesus whom i follow never asked me to kill NOT EVEN MY ENEMIES ! A s a matter of fact,Jesus said the following to us Christians: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES ! Pray for those who persecute you Bless them that curse you Pray for them which despite fully use you DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU ! If i claim to be a christian and i don't follow the above listed,how then can i say i follow Christ ? Anyway as for you ryhmz,your maker has given you the free will of whether you want to obey HIM or not.It's ur choice.HE(God)gave you that choice.It does not matter whether you want to remain an atheist or not but what matters is HE (GOD)is ready to accept you anytime you decide to come back to HIM ! God bless us all |
lagerwhenindoubt: I don't know about Adeboye's and his instruction on this case but i know his 2013 prophecies are lame and sound illiterate, it cannot be from the Holy Spirit or God even.Some other time,we will look into his prophesies ! Let's contribute to the issue at hand if we can. Thanks bro God help us |
musKeeto: Bro, you need to understand that power corrupts. Even the Bible tells Christians what happened to Lucifer, based on the little power given to him. The moment Christians place a 'fellow brother' in Christ, for despite the titles, that's how 'GOD' looks upon y'all, you give room for wolves in sheep clothing.Dnt bother bro. the tithe is not the people's money but GOD ! iF I feel that the pastors will use the tithe money for their personal upkeeps and i do not want it that way,then i should stop tithing.The big questions is: Why should i even tithe ? If you can answer that question correctly,then you will know if i should continue to tithe. May God help us all. I am not a faithful tither ! I still pray to God for help in that area becos i so much believe in tithing-giving to God -Any how you look at it. lET'S LEAVE TITHING FOR ANOTHER THREAD SO OTHER TIME. God help us all |
frosbel: I am not an expert in bible knowledge , nobody is, it is the Holy Spirit who gives revelation.Have you seen my view regarding the blasphemy of the holy spirit ? It was all scriptures.Some can't just repent.I pray for the mercy of God on all of us. Frosbel,you can do great things with the word and for the lord ! May God help us all God bless us |
frosbel: How dare you compare Jesus to these mere MEN.You are right frosbel. No one is comparing Jesus to anyone in bein the messiah(Christ)Who is the son of God.Who came and died on the cross for us all.Who resurrected in three (3)days and was ascended into heaven.But we here some times people say;if Jesus never move around with escort why should a man of God do so.If Jesus never flew in a private Jet why should men of God do so.If Jesus never got married why should priest get married.If Jesus never preached in the church why should men of God preach in the church.If Jesus never wore suit why should men of God wear suit.If Jesus never had a bank account why should men of God have one.If Jesus nver own HIS own business other than that of HIS father why should men of God do so.If Jesus never did this and that why should men of God do this and that. The point is that people compare only wen they want to drive a point home. There are leaders all over.There are people who are in authorities over some others.The bible never asked us to insult our leaders.The bible admonished us to honour/respect those who are in authority. See Romans 13:1''Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.'' If i am not comfortable under any authority, i should leave the area,church,office or the gathering and not to throw stones at them. When you see some esteem a particular thing,it might not be the person but the office ! See what Hebrew 13:17 is saying:Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you See also 1 Thesalonians 5:12 this one is mind blowing ! '' Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. May God help us all |
frosbel: Hmm, no one said there is no white throne judgement, of course there is.Frosbel my christian brother ! I don't want to think that the wisdom i know too well that you have is just a mere worldly wisdom ! Even the worldly or carnally minded people reason right to an extent ! Or could it be that you just want to appear or sound sarcastic that you want to put up here on NL that you do not know that what the above statement from that pst.is that you get judged before the judgement day ! This pastor here is telling you and my very self that if Christ tarries and HE is to come tomorrow for the white throne Judgement according to Revelation 20:11-15,that if we do not bridle our tongues,we could be condemned today becos of the things we say that we do not even undestand before the very tomorrow that christ is to come !Frosbel,i love you with the love of God and i believe we can both make heaven by the Grace of The Almighty God. May God help us |
frosbel: ssshh, go and threaten the gullible.Frosbel,you always claim that you know the word of God and you do not know where the great white throne is in the bible ? It's becos you read the word of God to get things to attack God and HIS servants. See below where the pst.picked up the phrase;Great white throne Judgement: '' Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire''.-Revelation 20:11-15 The above is the Judgement called the great white throne Judgement. May God help u and help me also to make heaven when the trumpet shall sound God help us |
frosbel: Don't might these dumb sheep, the sin against the holy spirit is attributing a work of GOD to the devil.You may think you are dead right just like the Scribes and the pharisees thought when they said Jesus was a fraud ! That HE uses the powers of the devil and Spirit of Beelzebub to do miracles. Now see you again thinking that the powers and wisdom of the Holy spirit in some of these true men of God are demonic and that in fact it's scam.Same thing Jesus warned us against so as not to grieve the holy spirit.To you here on NL you think u are right when you ascribe the wisdom of God and powers of the holy spirit to deceit,fraud and devilish ! May God help us all.Why not leave the things you do not understand to be ! They are there for you to study in ur bible with the guidance of the Holy spirit but the devil never allows people to study for life rather he(devil)allows people to read the word for argument sake ! God bless us |
Olamyyde: Ya know, when i started reading these topics i thought they were sermons by pastor Adeboye. It was only yesterday that I found out that it was a daily devotion. Mods, please, there are many useful topics, some that can save lives, some that can give incredible business ideas to unemployed bums or pple. I'm sure the mod that always puts this on the frontpage is a redeemed member.Bro,pls try to study ur bible if you are a 'christian' ! Blasphemy of the holy spirit isn't permanently rejecting Jesus. Please see below what blasphemy of the holy spirit realy is : Please note that if you continuously reject Jesus you can still be forgiven becos it is the holy spirit that will convict you and bring you to repentance !See what Jesus is saying to those who blaspheme HIM: ''And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him;''-Mathew 12:32 The unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an act of resistance which belittles the Holy Spirit so grievously that he withdraws for ever with his convicting power so that we are never able to repent and be forgiven. To explain the above,let us consider the scripture and see what God is saying through HIS son Jesus who left us with the HOLY SPIRIT to convict us of our sins and bring us to repentance ! See below what Christ is saying in Mark 3:29: ''but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences." If you look at the scripture above,you will see that Christ did not say if you blaspheme against God or HIM(Jesus)the son of God BUT HE said blaspheme against the holy spirit ! God the Father,God the Son and God the Holy spirit are one i.e 'EGG' It has got the shell,the egg white and the yoke ! It's three in one but they have their different roles aiming at achieving one goal ! Now since by the grace of God we have seen or already know that God the FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLLY SPIRIT IS ONE,let's just take a little highlight of their duties ! 1.God the Father-HE has planned redemption 2.The son (Jesus has accomplished redemption. This wonderful redemption is outside ourselves and available to us if we repent of our sin and turn back to Christ in faith ! 3.But it is the unique and special role of the Holy Spirit to apply the Father's plan and the Son's accomplishment of it to our hearts ! From the above,we can see that the holy spirit plays the role of bringing both the father's plans and the son's accomplishment to our hearts ! Now,if we blaspheme the father which most of us do every now and then,there is still hope ! If we blaspheme the son,there may still be hope according to what Jesus says in the book of Mathew 12:32 ''And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.'' From the above we have seen that even if you sin against Jesus,the son of man,you can still be forgiven ! The big question is ;'what is the sin against the holy spirit and why can't i be forgiven here on earth and after ? One of the sins committed before this statement was uttered by Christ was that the scribes were heard by Jesus attributing the powers of the Holy spirit that works in him as the powers of Satan, saying that HE (Jesus)uses the powers of Bezeebul to cast out demons and do miracles as well! This is only but one according to Mark 3:29. From the fact that we have established regarding the work or role of the Holy spirit''But it is the unique and special role of the Holy Spirit to apply the Father's plan and the Son's accomplishment of it to our hearts !''We can therefore say,if we[b] grieve[/b] the holy spirit who is suppose to bring conviction to our hearts therefore bringing about the plans of God the father regarding redemption through the death of HIS son Jesus,who then will do this Job if we grieve the holy spirit ? Christ isn't saying that we can not be forgiven because we asked for forgiveness.HE is saying we can not ask for forgiveness becos the holy spirit has been grieved and left us with our own human conscience that is weak becos we sinned against the holy spirit! And if we do not ask for forgiveness becos we can't as a result of the fact that we have grieved the holy spirit and he has decided to let us be,how then can we be forgiven? Forgiveness can never be possible becos the one who is supposed to convict us and bring us to repentance for us to be forgiven has far long left us to ourselves ! My brother,i pray the holy spirit help u to understand the above. The bible can not contradict itself ! God help us all |
frosbel: Pointing out frauds masquerading as MOG , is not the sin against the Holy Spirit.So the scribe and the Pharisees thought when they saw Jesus'powers as that given to HIM by the devil and that HE(Jesus)uses the spirit of Bezeebul to wrought miracles !- ''And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."-Mark 3:22 This was the exact comment that brought about blasphemy against the holy spirit.These teachers of the law scribes and pharisees thought they were saying the right thing against Jesus but not knowing that it was curse all the way they intend to bring against themselves.Just like what you frsbl[/b]do always on NL. See what the pst.EA Adeboye is saying,''[b]To avoid such a sin, be very careful about your comments especially on what you do not understand'' May God help us |
Christianity shouldn't be a theological debate or argument ! If you believe you believe -FAITH of which without it will be highly impossible to please God ! There are so many on NL who have blasphemed against the holy spirit thinking they are logical ! But i tell us for the ones who believe,no amount of explanation or even prayers if you ask me can bring back this ones to the fold ! You know why ? The holy spirit that is expected to bring the necessary conviction to their souls have so grieved that convicting/convincing them will be most certainly impossibly save for the sovereign power of the Almighty God-Godhead ! God help us |
free2ryhme: jesus only had one fisher>.. Fisher of men.. How come you have four ? ;One fisher(fishers of men)with different attitude and approach towards the fishing job ! No wonder Judas is different from peter & Peter different from the doubting Thomas ! God bless us |
dbride: "Come Peter, I will make you a fisher of men", Jesus Christ said to Peter.There is nothing wrong in desiring to step up ur work with God !It is true like you said that we have got different callings but it is biblical that we desire to take another step forward with the work of God. Like you said,when we WALK with God HE will do it for us ! It is the holy spirit who tells us either true the word of God as we study our bible or by hearing the sound un diluted message (word of God)from a pastor Rev.prophet, teacher,evangelist or any 'man of God' !With a walk with God,the holy spirit through one of HIS gifts(discernment of spirit)will help us identify why,how and the areas of our life God want's us to work on.So, we can actually be guilty for the right reasons ! No wonder the bible said that the word of God is good for reproof,rebuking and for CORRECTION''All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,''-2nd Timothy 3:16. May God help us all |
Richieboyn: Guy are you okay? Why hasn't ur clear vision allowed you to see? How will you feel if ur pastor comes and starts preaching in ur place of work, school or market EVERY SECOND? Wen derez a church were he cld do dat? HuhI am a christian by the grace of God.And christ never restricted HIS teachings to or withing the walls or confines of the 'church' ! May God help us all. God bless us |
Richieboyn: I'm not disputing that. Mind you, my vision is not blurred. I maintain, this is not Adeboye's site. So why fill up the whole place with his posts? Besides sef, r dere nt oda pastors? So u dat u have CLEAR VISION u cnt see dat derez more 2dis?I saw the post(word of God)and the power of God behind the write up.To me,the whole message was all about God.But i only saw Adeboye when i saw the antagonistic.. posts ! Let's forget the person but see the power behind the WORD ! God bless us |
Richieboyn: Wn smtn bcms an everyday thing, it looses its beauty. Ds Adeboye stuff hz gotten out of hand. I kw ur one of his sheep datz y ur rantin.The word of God,even if it becomes 'every seconds thing' can never get out of hand ! Infact,it is what put's everything in ur hand ! God bless us |
Richieboyn: Dis is not Adeboye's site. He shd b displayin his msgs on his site everyday. Dis is a forum to discuss VAST ideas. Not to stick to one thing.The word of God u refer to as one thing is actually what will clear ur vision to see all things ! God bless us |
@OP,thanks for the 'daily'update of the Open Heavens on NL ! @ Seun,[b]we are loving it ![/b]As you have now decided to allow God to use you and ur and the NL as a medium for spreading HIS(GOD) word,may you continue to prosper in all things you do that is in CONSONANCE with the word of God. And in the times and areas where you have sinned may the holy spirit convict you to ask for forgiveness and may you be forgiven in Jesus name... Amen ! God bless us all |

eriegua83: how many hours did he ask the congregation to join him in prayers and praises on christmas day (christ birthday)? or is his birthday more important than Christ own. in nigeria we honour men of God more than God.The 'purported' Christ's birthday is a birthday all Christians presumably should celebrate.As a Christian you have ur own programme for that day. Some will choose to go to the club,some will go visiting their loved ones,some will go on a drinking spree and some others might choose to be engaged in extra or pre marital s.ex. some visit the motherless babies home and show lov.e to the less privilege or destitute.Others might go own to praise God all the way.Christmas is celebrated by the 'Christians' who believe in it the way they like.Christmas isn't urs or mine or any of the pastors'.Some Christians don't celebrate Christmas even.The pastor whom i know celebrates Christmas in the way he want's to and not as the scripture says he (we) should !He calls church members together and gives them salvation message and after which he allows them all to go celebrate according to how they wishes to becos no one has the monopoly of xmas ! Concerning my birthday,i have monopoly of my birthday becos it is mine as given to me by God ! I choose to do what ever i like on my birthday and my friends who are willing to do so,may as well join me. This pastor said he is celebrating his 71yrs birthday and people said they want to attend.He said if you are comming,be ready to join me in praying and praising God for 71 hrs becos that is what i have decided to do on my 71st birthday ! Please my friend,what is wrong in praising God on ur birthday ? is he calling them to come and praise him(pastor)? God help us |

Lovine: WHAT ARE THEY DOING FOR THE DESTITUTE? THEIR CONGREGATIONS ARE FILLED WITH WIDOWS AND ORPHANS, WHAT HELPS HAVE THEY RECEIVED. PRAYER WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD. PRAYER!PRAYER!PRAYER, AFTER THE PRAYER THEY TAKE OFFERING.....No man eradicate death ! No man can stop the world from not having orphans arround No man can do just enough to see that widows all over the world are completely taken care of. Concerning the poor,The bible says 'they(poor) shall not seize in our midst ! Jesus preached and fed so many in HIS time and thot us to emulate HIM ! But that will not eradicate poverty becos we are in a corrupt world already ! This world and life will only be made PERFECT at the return of our lord Jesus Christ. I dnt expect the church to start publicizing the arms they give to the poor,assistance to widows and care of the orphans.If they do,then it is no longer for God but for man to see ! They might not be doing enough no doubt but to say they dnt do at all will be ignorance on our own part ! Becos of they dnt publicize it and the people needed to be assisted are much and will keep increasing especially when it is ur calling to assist,they(church) can hardly do enough.Come to think of it,are they (pastors)God ?They can't be perfect.Expect NOT perfection in the things they do ! God is still God. Prayer prayer prayer ! The word of God said :''Never stop praying.''-1 Thessalonians 5:17 As for offering,there is nothing any Christian can do about it ! It's a command of God ! Not giving offering in the house of God is like not wanting to fellowship with fellow believers ! If i have to give,why should i not give ? If i dnt have to give will any man(pastor)send me out of the church ? I dnt think so. Stop hating the word of God God help us |
iv4fb: @m.k.02005, I don't like him doesn't mean I hate him-get that straight! I only asked where you guys get that from. U guys idolize your pastor and forget about God! How many hours do u praise and pray on christmas day (The purported birthday of christ)? Dude, I aint ready to argue with u, u can package the message, tell 'em hell aint that bad or something like that-its ur businessIf u are not a christian,sorry that i replied ur post. But if you are,you will see also that the pastor never said they should worship him or praise him for 71hrs rather he said they should join him in praising and praying TO GOD for 71hrs on his birthday ! God help us |
Originalsly: Repackaging the gospel? It wasn't done good enough? Is it not that a Christian should spread the gospel as it is?..." to those that have ears let them hear"?...like a farmer casting his seeds some falling on rocky ground and some on fertile soil? What is this nonsense now about making the gospel attractive? This opens the door wide for deception and misinterpretation....as in the scripture quoted. Jesus asked the woman to fetch Him water to drink because it was a strategy to start a conversation. Really? A blatant lie.Why did the pastor not quote from the few verses before?...because they explained that Jesus was travelling thru the night and rested at that point because he was tired. The woman was the first to come by and he asked her to fetch him water since he was tired and had nothing to draw water from the deep well.This pastor has repackaged the incident and now asking you as well to do repackaging.Accepting the gospel was and never will be by force or trickery...if you read the Bible for yourself and stop believing every word that comes out of the mouths of men.What did this pastor do wrong by teaching the people under him that when led by the holy spirit,you will know when to start up a conversation regarding the gospel and that events may precede the message ! He used Jesus according to the scripture to illustrate what he meant. Like you said that 'Jesus was tired,thirsty and had nothing with which HE could fetch from the well' !I disagree with you becos if u understand the powers with Jesus you will understand that it isn't about been tired,thirsty and had nothing with which to fetch water with from the well !Jesus could actually drink from the well without having to ask the woman for water.After all the Jews and the Samaritans had nothing in common(Seen as enemies)But Jesus wanted to use that opportunity to preach the WORD to her and get her saved !If not,She could hav bin told similar thing that was said to the Canaanite woman who was begging for crumbs that fell from the master's table ! Mathew 15:22 & 26-27 '' 22[b] A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribl[/b]y. 'He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Another packaging for evangelism ! Did this one receive the message? Was her daughter healed ? All yes becos Jesus is lord of all ! So please stop criticizing the word of God ! I will understand if this pastor did not quote the scripture or if he outrightly mis interpreted the quote and if he is telling lies about christ.But from the quote by the OP,i can see the pastor telling the church members not to tell lies becos they want to win souls for God ! God bless us all |
J luv u: According to 2chorithians 5:17¨"if any man be in Christ he is a new creature old things are past away,behold all things are become new" while obadiah 17 says"upon mount zion there shall be deliverance and there shall holiness and the house of Jacob shall posses their possesions" what is your view on this scriptures?I believe you can cast out demons from some one who is posses ! If my Jesus did it,and said greater works shall i do,i see no reason why i will say that there is nothing like casting out demons from some one who is possess ! Deliverance has got to do with hearing of the word to be saved or delivered ! God bless us |
iv4fb: . E!E!(f):Is it 71 hours of praising daddy G.O and 71 hrs of praying to daddy G.O ? I think it's 71 hrs of praising God and 71 hrs of praying to God ! Some others will use their own 71 hrs to bring people together to drink and get drunk,have sex and do all sorts of things that will harm them later on and also displease God ! So,what is wrong in bringing people together on ur birthday to worship,praise and pray to God ? Or have you heard people say daddy G.O forgive me of my sins ?Or Daddy G.O you are God or Lord or even the lord of Lords ? But i see and hear the G.O telling people never to attach any other thing to his name other than just to call him pastor ! Stop hating this man.He is not ur son or servant bet that of the Almighty God ! He Adeboye is only a man and not God ! God bless us |
Syncan: Indeed i fight not. I only wonder if you have problem with what I am saying in black and white or with what you think I am saying.My brother,i totally agreed with all you said becos they are scriptural ! Some times,interpreting the word of God and also people's word pose a lot of challenges to us(Even me) ! You said we have to be a believer ! It is by faith we believed in the first place.If i am not a believer then nothing for me ! You have to take heed lest you fall ! No doubt.It was not taking heed that saved me in the first place but my believe in HIM and acceptance that made HIS grace to be sufficient for me ! Now the Apostle says i should be carefull lest i fall out of HIS saving grace that initially came to me as a result of Grace ! I never said once you are saved you can not sin No ! But i said the word of God said that A christian does not LIVE in sin ! To fall into sin is very very different from LIVING in sin.See the Words of John in 1 John 2:1-''My little children, these things write I to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: When we get saved,it is our spirit man that received this grace and become regenerated but the body is not regenerated. So,when we are saved it is still very possible to sin but the bible is saying we can not be sinning always and still claim we are Christians ! No wonder apostle Paul said ''shall we continue in sin that GRACE might abound?He then concluded it by saying; 'GOD FORBID'!What i only posited out is to show you scriptures that it is not our works that saved us in the first place but the grace of God ! I then showed you also from the scripture that works comes after we have been saved !Becos,once you are saved,the works will be there to testify to people around that AH ! there is the grace of God upon this man ooo ! I gave an illustration that once you take a dive in the pool,you MUST be wet ! And wen we do not see water on ur body we can start to ask if you truly went into the pool ! Have you wondered why the bible said that by their fruit we shall know them ? It is becos even if you try to fake the fruit of the spirit,it will not take long for the fruit of the devil in you to manifest.Now fellowshipping with God brings speedily to you the fruit of the spirit ! The fruit of the spirit can not come to one who is yet to accept and be regenerated no matter the good works you do !The fruit of the spirit helps you most times if not always to keep your body in check. Our soul is another matter different from the bODY AND SPIRIT.But it sure have a part to play in in our been kept on check.Our soul which has to do with our mind and emotions,accepts all sorts of negative things but the bible says that when these things come into our mind,emotions(soul),that we should use the word of God to ward them(negative thoughts)off ! See what Apostle Paul said we should do as born again Christians:''Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;''-2nd Corinthians 10:5. So even as born again Christians,negative thoughts still come into our souls(mind)Is we do not do the thing as instructed by Apostle Paul in 2nd Corinthians 10:5,we will allow our body (flesh)lead us to sin !Do you still Remember what Christ said about our thoughts if we do not do anything concerning them ?''But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."[/b]Mathew 5:28 Like you said above that we should always study the word and some others.Yes that is true. It entails working out your salvation.If you love God,all these things you will do.If you are still growing(babe)of cos you will be guided to do these thins !See what Paul is saying concerning this very one:''And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.''-Romans 12:2.- It was not all these that brought the salvation but the GRACE THROUGH FAITH in the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST ! [b]Let us not be liars ! we are not perfect- Very true.No man is perfect.No church (denomination)is perfect.We may be like HIM(jesus)but the perfection comes when HE will be back for us.Infact see what the bible says concerning this one:1 John 3:2-''Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.''- God bless you and thank you so very much for the wonderful session (bible discussion with me)! God help us all |
FXKing2012: You've been a blessing, are you a pastor? Where do you worship?NO ! I'm not a pastor but i have passion for the word of God.'I listen to all men of God'and i go straight to the word of God to check out their word vs the word of God ! I worship with Redeemed Christian Church of God ! But i dnt follow any of my church doctrines that contradict the word of God. Though I'm watching out if i will see any tomorow. There is no perfect church ! But when Christ comes,the church will be made perfect.The bible say we(True Christians) Shall see Christ and live and shall be like HIM(PERFECT) God bless you |

God is a just God and in justice, God will not condemn a man who had been killing innocent people for money rituals with a man who steals food to eat in order to survive with the same judgement.[/quote]Some times i try not to start up an argument but some times there are things you see and you wonder if 'Christians' don't study their bibles ! I can't just help but to want to engage some people with the scriptures.WHO KNOWS,THEY MIGHT SHOW ME OR TEACH ME SOMETHING NEW ! ''Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, NIV) See also this scripture:Revelation 21:8''But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Do not be deceived,a man who steals food to eat will be in same place with a ritualist if they both fail to repent of their sins and die ! If Lazarus had stolen the rich man's food in that story as told by Jesus,do you think he would have made heaven ? He did not still but instead the bible said he waited for the crumbs to fall off the rich man's table and he ate there of ! If he had stolen bread form the rich man's table,the best God would have done for hime would hav bin to blame the rich man for allowing his brother(Lazarus the poor man) to fall-stealing. But they will both end up in the lake of fire. My brother,if u are hungry and no food in sight,pls endure and dnt go and steal ! Thief na thief no let any body deceive you ! God help us |
