Righteousness2:I'm simply letting you realise you could be guilty of the unpardonable sin by calling a real prophet a false prophet. After all, how do you distinguish them? |
Righteousness2:Beware of the unpardonable sin. Attributing God's power to the devil by calling a real prophet a false prophet. Matthew 12:24-32 (V)Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” 25 But Jesus (W)knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, (X)surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 (Y)Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. 31 “Therefore I say to you, (AA)every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, (AB)but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who (AC)speaks a word against the Son of Man, (AD)it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. |
Tokkson:Certainly, I hope you get raped... by a goat like you. ![]() |
Tokkson:I sincerely hope you're not a goat cos that would be an insult to goats. |
jesusjnr2020:Lol I was expecting this religious answer. Those in the Bible clearly had divine encounters. Either Jesus Christ himself called them or the Holyspirit spoke to them clearly and audibly. But because you did not have such experience you decided to answer the question according to your own experience. This has always been the problem with the different denominations of Christianity. Every Christian leader creates doctrines out of their own experience which is why Christianity is the most divided religion in the whole world. Is God an author of confusion? Clearly if your experience is different from the Christians in the Bible, you're not a Christian but practising a false religion. |
Electrochemistry:This should help you differentiate religious teachings from Bible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4OVGQGAzIw&feature=youtu.be |
Hashabiah:Can you mention anything they did or the knowledge of God they revealed? I mean the sons of Jonadab and Rechab. Exactly. None. ![]() |
Pavore9:Dropping him over that comment was stupid. It shows the brand is being run by Simps. Do they expect him to change just because of their endorsement? Nah. Even if they don't lose sales, they can't control him with their money. |
chiboyo:You're just another victim of the subtle mechanism used to silence people especially celebrities. The powers that be clearly want to always control everyone especially celebrities. Israel's popularity is not only because of his fighting skills but also his freedom to say whatever he wants as long as it's not overboard. Yes, the rape comment was a sensitive one, it doesn't make him a rapist. It's just the same as saying "fck you!" He however after all the backlash has apologised cos we live in a generation where it's almost impossible to say anything cos everyone is emotional these days. You can't even call some gay without being labelled homophobic. Even transgenders have more rights now than straight people in the US. BMW is being stupid as a brand for dropping him for that comment. They think other brands will follow suit. But it only shows they never knew him from the get-go. So theirs was a mismatch. Israel will continue to have his freedom to talk trash and bash his opponents. Imagine saying a rapper is not allowed to curse on wax. Rap itself is mostly cursing. |
MaxInDHouse:He finally realised he was blinded by religion. JW members honestly are extremists. JW is to Christianity what ISIL/Boko Haram is to Islam Muslims who practise Islam like JW's practise Christianity are the islamic terrorists of today. |
jesusjnr2020:I can categorically tell you that this is what is obtainable in the privacy of most Christian pastors and ministers, if not all. When I was still a devout Christian, I was privileged to join a lot of departments in my church with the intention both to serve God with my all and to learn from fellow Christians, after all, iron is supposed to sharpen iron. I was in Teaching department, Missions (Evqngelism) department, Cleaning department, Publicity department, Youth department, Youth leaders and occassionaly Admin department. In hindsight, I wish I never joined most of these departments cos it exposed me to things I wish I never saw. I saw leaders keeping malice, cursing each other out in every slight provocation. Leaders who had very hostile relationships with their own spouses or children. I saw leaders slap their own members over provocations, etc All these brought me back to reality that Christianity can't really stop man from being man. If you're an angry bird by nature, you will still be an angry bird in Christianity. The only difference is you can hide it in public maybe because you don't want to be suspended in your department but at home, you're still going to be an angry bird. I even got closer to even the general overseer and pastor of the church cos my testimony got his attention. When you get closer to pastors and ministers you get exposed to their very human side which involves their greed for money, arrogance, cursing those who disappoint them, their malicious acts between one another, their adulterous ways, etc. I realised there was little difference between these ministers and unbelievers except when they were on the pulpit or you approached them on spiritual matters. Meaning they were only talking the talk but could not really walk the walk. Although the GO was and is still a man I strongly admire for his indepth knowledge of the Bible and how to break it down even for an atheist to understand, but having taught his foundation classes and read his books and mission and vision statement, I can say he has deviated from the purpose God called him. He claimed Jesus appeared to him and told him to teach his people the way of righteousness but hardly teaches that. Rather he says what he knows his congregation wants to hear. Perhaps because Preaching righteousness actually chases people away from his church and he wanted more congregation, more tithes and offerings, etc. Clearly the competition among pastors is unbelievable. Oyedepo is already renovating his church to become the biggest cathedral in the world.lol My understanding of this Kirk Franklin and his son's saga is simply that it reveals Kirk's nature behind closed doors. His son having being at the receiving end of his hostility finally decided to let the world see his father for whom he truly is. Any minister can pretend to be a Christian and even speak in christianese when their livelihood and personal ambitions are hanging on it. But what happens when the camera isn't rolling is what shows the true person. While this should probably be a private family affair, Kirk is a public figure who had been pretending to the world for decades. His son simply wants to see who his father is behind closed doors. Why do you think Pastor's children are usually the most wayward? Because they see the true picture of their parent's pretenses. |
shadeyinka:You sound so much like I did. Everyone who is not a Christian or your idea of Christian is apparently a vessel of satan.lol I can't blame you. Religion fox you up. |
shadeyinka:How does this relate please? Besides, does this singular act negate all the other messages and acts of love of Christ? I say this cos I was once like you. I was so religious. Preaching every religious verse inthe Bible just cos I wanted people to be righteous. But as important as righteousness is, love is the most crucial part of the message of Christ. Even when an adulterous woman was caught commiting adultery, what did he do? He did not judge her or condemn her to hell. Rather he challenged the religious people that tried to execute the judgment that was written in the same book you're defending. Meaning, he understands. Love covers multitude of sins. And arguably the woman that was caught committing adultery was Mary Magdalene who became one of his most faithful disciples. In some quarters, she is even called the 13th Apostle. You do not know God's plan. So when you simply judge by what is written and not by the Holyspirit you will keep getting it wrong. By what was written by Moses himself, no Jew should marry gentiles. But guess what, Moses himself ended up marrying a Cushite woman, a non-Jew. His own Sister and Brother, decided to play God and condemned his action, even privately. What did God do? God struck her with leprosy. God did not judge Moses one bit. In fact it was Moses that begged God not to kill her. Back to the topic on the thread, if truly you believe that Light triumphs over darkness- Christianity being light and anything else being darkness then you should even be happy that an Atheist married a Christian. Instead of worrying about the Christian falling you should be happy that an Atheist might be converted. Unless of course you believe atheism is more powerful than Christianity. |
shadeyinka:One day you're going to read all what you've posted on this topic and realise you never sounded like Christ but like a Pharisee. I guess we should thank God you're not an Islam convert, you will certainly be an extremist aspiring to be a terrorist all in the name of proving what your holy book says. Religion has caused more hatred and division in this world. Yet it professes to teach peace and love. But the results in reality says it all. |
Janosky:Whether the serpent was snake that was possessed or Satan himself is debatable. The Quran's account of the creation story makes it obvious Satan was not the serpent. The Bible also referred to the serpent as cattle/beast not an angel which Satan/Lucifer was before his fall. Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. Genesis 3:14-15: So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And (O)you shall eat dust All the days of your life. The point here before the digression to whether Satan is Serpent or not is that Sin is not Satan Sin is disobedience to God. Casting out Satan and his angels to earth does not stop sin in heaven. It stopped the war that broke out in heaven. You can still be in heaven and be disobedient to God. Just the same way Lucifer/Satan sinned while in heaven. |
hoopernikao:How can you say Jesus did not come with new law? I won't even quote epistles but answer you with the words of Jesus himself differentiating the Laws of Moses from the laws of the Kingdom. Matthew 5: 38-48 You have heard that it was said, (B)‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 (C)But I tell you not to resist an evil person. (D)But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever (E)compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and (F)from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. 43 “You have heard that it was said, (H)‘You shall love your neighbor (I)and hate your enemy.’ 44 [a]But I say to you, (J)love your enemies, bless those who curse you, (K)do good to those who hate you, and pray (L)for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for (M)He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 (N)For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your [b]brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the [c]tax collectors do so? 48 (O)Therefore you shall be perfect, just (P)as your Father in heaven is perfect |
Janosky:According to the Bible it was the serpeant that tempted Eve. Satan wasn't mentioned. Clearly an evil spirit must have entered the serpeant but Satan was not mentioned. It can only be speculated. The Bible is not so detailed on how Satan fell from Grace. Except that iniquity was found in him. And war broke out in heaven and he and his angels were cast out from heaven to earth. Revelatioms 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [hem in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, (D)that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. So from Rev 12:7-9 clearly his fall from grace was as a result of his sin and war in heaven not on earth. If war can break out in heaven is sin then not in heaven? Sin means disobedience or offense to God. Warring against God would definitely be on top of the list of sins. So with this few points of mine, clearly there is still sin in heaven. |
BigSarah:It's called Stockholm's syndrome. She might not have any other choice anyway. Another victim of religion. |
DarlingtonC:Why do fans have such sense of entitlement to dictate how the celebrity should live his life? We all loved Psquare but the duo who struggled to remain so for years finally parted and decided to go solo. If they have moved on, they who had more at stake to lose, why are you who has nothing to lose except their music, still living in the past? Peter here has made a lot of sense. And you don't even need a crystal ball to know that they would eventually settle their beef and may even collaborate in the future. So let's enjoy their solo efforts while it lasts. PS: He was not saying that his fans don't matter anymore. He clarified himself that he was referring to the fans of Psquare that won't move on. He clearly appreciates the fans supporting his craft as Mr P. |
Racoon:It will only pass when we take necessary actions. The Fulani is domineering in nature. This has to either be stopped by their number 1 citizen Buhari or the country should disintegrate into the necessary geopolitical zone. |
ncpat:It's easy to judge others until you find yourself in their position. While this might sound generic, the fact remains from consensus that it is quite true, being a man makes it almost easy to cheat. Any successful man attracts so much female attention that it takes another level of self control to be able to deal. Now, it can also be argued that any woman also attracts the same attention. Except, women are designed to have more control in sexual matters than men. It is only when a woman is desperate that she might lack the self control when a man promises her money (if she's broke) or children (if she's barren, thanks to 9ja's fertile pastors), etc. But the fact remains that the temptations a successful man faces is incomparable to the woman. I want to believe Simi is smarter than taking a rash decision on this matter. I also want to believe AG is smarter than losing the special blessing Simi has been to his life and career. |
MaxInDHouse:Let me educate you why there's no exclusive group in Christianity. When Paul was converted, he went to Arabia. He did not stay with the other apostles. Why? Cos God had a different purpose for him. He was to be sent specially to the Gentiles (non-Jews). This eventually made him the Apostle to the uncircumcised. So preaching JW is wrong because the Bible has never at any point instructed anyone to preach a group or organization. In fact when there was a scuffle about following Paul or Apollos, Paul clearly pointed such argument to Jesus. My advice; Let your evangelism be about Jesus. If you're able by God's grace to convert such person, then you can inform them to listen to divine direction. If God directs them to JW then it is settled. Otherwise, you cannot impose any denomination on them when God might have his own plans for them. You would expect Paul to understudy the Apostles but instead God led him to Arabia for 3 years instead. You cannot think for God. Leave the decision to God and divine guidance. Except of course you do not believe in divine direction through the Holysoirit. |
Janosky:If 12 is false then how did Lucifer who was described as perfect fall from Grace while he was yet in heaven? How was he along with other angels able to war against God. |
hoopernikao:By your explanation, there was no believer until the Holyspirit was given right? Not even the 12 disciples? Well, thats another argument. The issue im addressing here is your opinion that the gospel books are no different from the books of Genesis, Songs of Solomon, Chronicles, etc. Even though Jesus himself came to correct the misconceptions if the Laws of Moses in the old testament. Your claim consequently being that the words of Jesus Christ is outdated since they were spoken before the Holyspirit was given. Right? Conclusively your claim accentuates that the Epistles of Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude are more important that the Gospels of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John because they were being moved by the Holyspirit just as Jesus Chrisf was. I will 8nly refer you to one verse; No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us. John 1:18 (NLT) |
hoopernikao:Ok sir. Thank God we're wired the same. |
DrayZee:He certainly didn't lie about that cos most Nigerians didn't want him to win the last year's Grammy due to his arrogance. I won't say they prayed against him but clearly didn't want him to be the first to win the grammy. And what we all feared is already playing out. His already bloated ego has already become magnified beyond telescopic levels. |
Righteousness2:Even from a religious perspective, God is interested in a lot of things, one of it being the soul. God is also interested in you being fruitful, multiplying and replenishing the earth. Meaning God is interested in living an impactful and productive life on earth. Let God worry about Burna's soul you worry about yours. God hates religious souls just as Jesus hated the Pharisees and the Saducees. |
GeeOh:There are 3 angles to this. 1. As a Missionary school, any Muslim who wishes to apply should abide by it's Christian rules. 2. As Christians the Missionary school should accommodate religious differences since Christianity preaches love. 3. Islam is violent, while Christianity isn't. If you consider the violence that could ensue, you would rather choose peace. Jesus didn't even permit Peter to defend him even when his disciples wanted to. |
justosee:And you believed this because some Bible scholars suggested it to be so? By the way, it has also been credited to Eleaza among other prophets. Since we're all dropping names now, maybe mynd44 or Lalasticlala wrote it. ![]() |
AntiChristian:The author of Deuteronomy was Moses. In the last chapter 34, he apparently wrote about his own death. ![]() |
jesusjnr2020:First, instead of addressing my post you decided to rain your religious curses on me. It's not your fault, it's simply what every religious victim is expected to do. Muslims, traditionalists and Christians all do it. So I wasn't really surprised. Which was why I chose to address how cursed even your Bible says you are. Cos a religious person is at best cursed by God. Jesus had no problem with the sinners, his issue was strictly with religious people like you viz the Scribes, Pharisees and Saducees. After all God so loved the world and is not willing for any to perish. While religious people wish for everyone who does not practise their own religion should perish.lol Second, testimony of conversion is hardly a testimony. Every religion can easily boast of conversion. We have seen Christians convert into Islam or Judaism. Thanks to colonisation we have seen traditionalists convert into Christianity and Islam. Even though most of the conversions were as a result of conditions such as education and other benefits. Do your research. That you converted a depressed person only means the person was in a state where they needed something to believe in. Any religion that could provide a solace for anyone can claim to have the same testimony. Though I'm glad you've finally had a testimony of someone who was inspired by your posts on NL. However spiritual gifts are very obvious and defy the norm. A miracle is simply anything that defies human and scientific possibility. Viz the miracles of Moses, Elijah , Elisha, Jesus and his Apostles. When someone who has been condemned by science and the hospitals as incurable receives healing. Or when something impossible like the parting of the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross. I don't even understand why someone who proclaims to be Jesusjnr is finding it so difficult to hace testimonies of signs and wonders when Jesus himself performed so much. Truly you should rename yourself as JohntheBaptistjnr because he never had any sigh or wonders. He just like you was jpreaching conversion and simply ust a forerunner. And you know what happens to forerunners. They hardly ever made it to the promised land. Moses who was the forerunner of Judaism did not enter the promised land. We all know that even as pious and religious as John the Baptist was, he ended up doubting Jesus Christ and most likely lost his salvation cos Jesus called him the least in the kingdom of heaven. Eli likewise after all his service to God was rejected by God because of the sins of his own sons. Thank God for his works and miracles, Angel Michael was able to claim Moses when the devil tried to claim his body as well. So technically since you're just another preacher without works and miracles, you're a disgrace to the name Jesus so you should change to JohntheBaptistjnr. |
