No,christians worship God while Muslims worship a god called allah.

Allah by translation means The God.

In that case your question should be whether Christians worship the same God. And whether Muslims (Sunni, boko haram, etc) worship the same Allah.

In 2020, I never spent more than 1 hour watching TV.

I have never sat down to watch TV this year.
I only get to watch TV over the weekend. Both to relax and catch up on news (entertainment, politics and sports).

But everything in life is a phase. There was a time both TV and radio were everything to me. I had specific times and programmes that I didn't miss. I may not even receive and calls just not to miss anything.lol

The highlighted! Know that it's not easy to understand what the Bible really teach, you must be a member of the group God is using to unravel the sacred secrets, through this group you will be fully equipped with timely spiritual nourishment.
The individual judgement is not now. There are two forms of judgement the first is organizational but the second will be individual.
There is a war coming to destroy all the false religionsists it's called "Armageddon", this war will only deal with organizations. It will destroy Political, Commercial and Religious organizations making life unbearable, so God's word emphasized on the "gatherings" Reve 16:16
But the final will deal on individuals level those who defaulted after all Satanic cobwebs (organizations) has been removed. Hence names written in a symbolic book becomes the bases fo this judgment! Reve 20:15
Romans 2:6 and Revelations 22:12 makes this clear.
Even Matthew 7:21-23 confirms this.

There is nothing like organisational salvation only personal salvation.
The head of your denomination could be cast to hell for his sins while ordinary members will make heaven because of their good works.

How many gods did Abraham have? They both claim him as father. Ishmael for Muslims, Isaac for Christians.
The term Father is only used by Christians
However you do have a point. The same God blessed Isaac and Ishmael out of whom both Christianity and Islam are progenies respectively.
Even though the bible claims Isaac is the heir.

Galatians 4:30
But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman [Hagar] and her son [Ishmael], For never shall the son of the bondwoman be heir and share the inheritance with the son of the free woman.”


But have you noticed that Christians and Muslims always say they don't worship the same God?

Christianity Etc › Re: Pastor Adeboye Condemns #SilhouetteChallenge And Online Nudity by Myer(m): 8:28pm On Jan 29, 2021
nwekeugochukwu:
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has spoken against online nudity and the trending #SilhouetteChallenge, IgbereTV reports.

The #SilhouetteChallenge trend features ladies dancing in red lights, allowing viewers to only see the silhouettes of their naked bodies.

Taking to his Twitter handle, he wrote;



https://twitter.com/PastorEAAdeboye/status/1355122558300008449?s=19[/quote]Even Daddy GO also quotes scriptures to suit his intentions.

Psalm 35:13
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

This verse never mentioned David quenching the spirit but saying how even upon his fasting he felt God did not answer his prayers.

1 Corinthians 7:5
Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time,(C) so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan(D) will not tempt you(E) because of your lack of self-control.

This has nothing to do with quenching the spirit but spouses not depriving one another of sex in the name of fasting thereby leaving room for the other to commit fornication/adultery.

This has always been the problem with Christians. Misinterpreting scriptures to suit their intentions. Apparently because they also know most people are to lazy to confirm like the Bereans what the bible actually says in the quoted verses.

I Have always said that the devil (lucifer) is a very smart guy that knows how to Distract humans.
He Invents evil,
Modifies Iniquity,
Flash it to humans through his agents,
Make it look harmless and ordinary,
Watch humans without knowledge engage in it in the Name of Fun.
Land them into Eternal Damnation and Destruction in Hell.
Finally Laugh and Mock them in Hell

Never give that guy a chance, he will smash your destiny and throw you into hell
Some of the things we blame the devil for are actually self-will.
After all even unbelievers also do good. Apparently every human has the will to do both evil and good without God or devil influencing them.

Politics › Re: DJ Switch: The Value Of Human Life In Nigeria Is Less Than That Of A Cow by Myer(m): 8:24pm On Jan 26, 2021
drinoayo:
Nigerian entertainer, DJ Switch has reacted to the recent reports of attacks in the country which has led to an outcry both online and offline, Igbere TV reports.

In a tweet she shared, DJ Switch said "it is becoming clear that the value of human life in Nigeria is less than that of a cow"

The entertainer also scored the Buhari-led administration zero.

She tweeted;

https://twitter.com/dj_switchaholic/status/1353792375689256961?s=20[/quote]I've not really been a fan of DJ Switch but on this one she is right concerning the incumbent president. Yet once again, blame it on religion.

In Indian Hinduism, the Elephant is a representation of a god so the elephant is seen as more valuable than human life.

Even in Igbo culture the Lion is quite symbolic.

Unfortunately we have a president who is of islamic religion where the value of cow is priced higher than human life.

In essence blame the religion and cultures that shaped the president into his inclinations.

Christianity Etc › Re: 3 Lessons To Learn From Mary And Martha by Myer(m): 1:35pm On Jan 24, 2021
JourneytoEL:
A man came visiting a family with two sisters. One of the sisters, Martha, was busy in the kitchen, preparing meals and cleaning while the other one, Mary, was "idling" away at his feet, gisting with him. Based on world standards, Martha, was right. She is an epitome of a responsible woman. 100yards wife material. Most likely a first daughter, but in the eyes of the Heaven, she was wrong. While, her sister, who the world would declare as lazy and irresponsible was right in the eyes of Heaven. The standard of judgement of the world is most times contrary to the standard of judgement of Heaven. What men judge as right might be wrong in heaven. And, those who the earth see as wrong maybe right in the eyes of God.

3 lessons to learn.

1. Never judge anyone in his walk with God.
Your standards and those of God aren't the same. Do not judge that you won't be judged (Luke 6:37a). Stop calling people sister mary, holy holy, you don't know if their dressing patterns were strictly designed for them from God. Stop calling people prostitutes because of the way they dress to church you don't know God's plan for their lives. In Jer 17:10, the Lord said, I , the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

2. The busy bee may be the farthest from God.
Nothing beats personal intimacy with God. Many people believe been a good Christian is about taking up positions in church. They are chapter presidents, unit leaders, lead singers etc. While it is good and profitable to work for God, it shouldn't take the place of fellowship with him. Avoid any position that will keep you too busy to personally commune with him through prayers. If you are been led to work for God and it's your day, choose a time of the night to meet him in prayers. It could be midnight, 3 a.m, 5a.m etc. The same way God desired to interact with Adam (Gen 3:8 ) is still how he longs to commune with Christians today. Don't say no to him because you are too busy (naked) (Gen 3:10).

3. Always seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit
Yes, you heard you have been called to God. The next thing for you is to enrol in a Bible school based and buy shiny suits based on the world's standard, but the Holy Spirit might be telling you to pray at midnight, fast 3 times a week and sweep the church every saturday. Whatever, you do as a Christian, always seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit and obey him. It isn't about what you think and feel is right, it is about what the Spirit of God says is right. As Apostle Paul puts it beautifully in his letter to the Romans in Rom 8:14, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Been a son of God, is not based on your strength but rather on your willingness to be led by the Spirit of God.
Always remember to commune with the Holy Spirit in all matters as Apostle Paul will say in 2 Cor 13:14, The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Communion ( fellowship, intimacy, koinonia, sharing together) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. The Holy Spirit is here to teach us the post-ascension believers and we can always trust him to bring us to all truth. For it is written, However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.( John 16:13). Nothing beats having a personal relationship with God, like Mary, it is one thing no one can take away from you (Luke 10:42b). Praise God.

Did you learn anything feom this scripture, please share with us.
An interesting narrative.
About seeking the counsel of the Holyspirit. Your passage never told us Mary sought the counsel of Jesus or the Holyspirit.

One way or another, you would end up in hell as well according to the verse above.
The Christian believes the bible is inspired by God and every other book is false.
The Muslim believes the Quran is inspired by God and every other book is false.

RiyadhGoddess:
Lols @ BabaTunde
I love his resilient spirit but he can find trouble sha undecided


I was just about reading my bible now when I was being reminded again of the reasons why lots of prayers are not usually answered. So I'm pressed to share as the spirit leads...

Lot's of time we Pray but don't believe that it will come and that's why it doesn't come. Sometimes we just pray for praying sake like let them not say I didn't pray that's why it's this or that or they said we should pray so I've prayed, prayers not taken serious and mostly mixed with doubts or fear of not being answered.

When you make request from God, believe that you will get it without doubt in your heart, you will get it.

I remember some days ago maybe last week I can't remember. Before then couple of weeks I've been asking God for a particular thing. So I've been praying and then the devil keeps bringing fear to me and each time I'm about to doubt or shake, the Holy Spirit reminds me in a still voice "don't doubt, but believe that it is done and you will get it" then I quickly snap out from fear and say thank you Jesus for it is done.

I'm yet to see the rain nor the cloud but one thing I know for sure is that there shall be increase and harvest for me this year 2021 and the exact month as the Holy Spirit said to me is April. Yes April, there's going to be rain!

So once again, I admonish every one of us to never entertain doubt when we pray but rather believe that it's been answered and we will receive that which has been asked soon.

God Bless You.
Amen
Word of advice.

ochibuogwu5:
By the mercy and grace of God, I live each second by faith in the Crucified Jesus Christ and do not sin.
I am still human; with all the human emotions, free-will, mind, memory, organs of senses and human body parts.
This is the work of the Holy Spirit at work inside and around me for years now and He keeps growing this NEW CREATION LIFE from one degree of glory and holiness to a higher degree of holiness and glory
thus
"Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).

13 *[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.*" (Phil. 2:12-13 ampc)

Jesus Life within those who believe is *what keeps us; holy, spotless, without wrinkle or stain each second* through the *fresh activations/manifestations of His Holy Spirit and Word* thus "And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth." (John 17:19)


In the old testament which is a shadow of the real thing(the New Covenant) during the days of Elijah(1 Kings 19:18), God kept 7000 people *without sin* how much more in these days of the New Covenant thus "I ask then: Has God totally rejected and disowned His people? Of course not! Why, I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin!

2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

3 Lord, they have killed Your prophets; they have demolished Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.

4 But what is God’s reply to him? I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal!

5 So too at the present time there is a remnant (a small believing minority), selected (chosen) by grace (by God’s unmerited favor and graciousness).

6 But if it is by grace (His unmerited favor and graciousness), it is no longer conditioned on works or anything men have done. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace [it would be meaningless]." (Romans 11:1-6 ampc)


"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—" (John 14:16)

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).
18 *And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another;* [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:17-18 ampc)

"Therefore He(Jesus) is able/capable also to save(deliver from sin and all its related consequences/habits/addictions/demonic-manipulations/ancestral-curses/devil/hell-fire) to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them." (Hebrews 7:25 ampc)

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21 KJV)

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." (1 John 3:9)

"And He(the Holy Spirit) will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication; He will be your warrant against all accusation/temptations or indictment so that you will be] guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

9 God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Corinthians 1:8-9 ampc)

"And this is why I am suffering as I do. Still I am not ashamed, *for I know (perceive, have knowledge of, and am acquainted with) Him Whom I have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on),* and I am [positively] persuaded that *He is able to guard and keep that which has been entrusted to me* and which I have committed [to Him(my soul)] *until that day*." (2 Timothy 1:12 ampc)

"And now [brethren], I commit you to God [I deposit you in His charge, entrusting you to His protection and care]. And *I commend you to the Word of His grace [to the commands and counsels and promises of His unmerited favor]*. It is *able to build you up and to give you [your rightful] inheritance among all God’s set-apart ones (those consecrated, purified, and transformed of soul)* in Jesus name. Amen." (Acts. 20:32 ampc)

"For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?
6 This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [His baptism and His death], Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—not by (in) the water only, but by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy] Spirit Who bears witness, because the [Holy] Spirit is the Truth." (1 John 5:4-6 ampc)

"Now to *Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]—*

25 To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it)." (Jude 1:24-25 ampc)
Let me start by quoting 1 Kings 19:18 that you quoted wrong.

"Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."

No where does it say they did not sin. It only says they had not bowed down to Baal meaning they did not worship another god. So please quote scriptures right.

Now you have quoted some very powerful scriptures from the new testament to attest to the fact that you cannot sin as a Christian right?
But you also pointed out a very important point which is that even though you're a New Creation you're also still human with human inclinations. Meaning you find yourself doing things you will not to do ( Romans 7:13-25)
My question therefore is, When your human inclinations take over and you find yourself committing those things listed as sins, how then can you say you do not sin?

Kobojunkie:
1. I don't believe you are yourself clear on the meaning of the passage that you posted there. Can you please go back, re-read those verses again and try to comprehend what is written as it is written there.

2. About your claim that only those who are "perfect" entering into Heaven, I am afraid that is not what Jesus Christ said there in Matthew 5 - there is no mention of Heaven in the context that those statement exists in. Also, I believe you are way off when it comes to the meaning given by Jesus Christ Himself there in that context when it comes to the word "perfect".

3. As to your claim that God sees the "perfect" Jesus Christ whenever He sees you, I am afraid that is not according to the teachings of Jesus Christ as Jesus Christ made no such claims that can be found anywhere in the gospels. If I am wrong, can you please provide a reference for this claim you make suggesting that whenever God sees one of His New Covenant followers, He instead sees Jesus Christ, the "perfect" one? undecided
I'm afraid you're digressing into the concept of substitution. Whereas this discourse is on whether or not anyone can live without committing sin.
I showed you sins in the bible which can easily ensnare any human being. I wanted to know if you think anyone can overcome them viz Pride, Stubbornness, Lust, Fearfulness, Love of money, Not doing what you know is right, etc

Now you tell me how the passage supports your claim that
* no man can live without sin undecided
* or that sin is defined elsewhere except by Jesus Christ Himself, for those of us who are of the New Covenant agreement? undecided

Help me out here man... I really need to know where you are headed with this one cause I am scratching my head to understand exactly what it is you are going with this. Tell me what it is I am hearing from Jesus Christ here as far as what we have been on so far? undecided
It's clear unless you choose not to see it.

Iniquity means sin/lawlessness.

So even if you call the name of Jesus, prophesy, work miracles etc but still continue to sin, you can't make heaven.

The condition for heaven is to be perfect as God is. ( Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. )

But here is the contradiction, since Jesus has died for your sins and now God sees the perfect Jesus whenever he sees you. How come Jesus says you cannot still make heaven if you continue in iniquity?

Kobojunkie:
you are still refusing to listen to Jesus Christ Himself who came to show you that there is a way. Why no show us where Jesus Christ Himself tells you that indeed you cannot do without sinning? undecided

I already stated severally that Jesus Christ is the law. He is the one to look to as far as the definition of sin, not James or revelation or even the book of proverbs. If Jesus Christ did not say it is sin, no man can make it sin. That said, since the LAW of God Himself that indeed you can be free from sin. What are you still debating? undecided

Unless you can show where the LAW of God Himself went back on His claim that those who are born of Him are no longer slaves to sin, I don't see the point of your seemingly random clipping of verses all of which don't even tell you it impossible to live above sin. None of those verses even contradict what Jesus Christ declared so why try to offer them up as reason for why you must refuse the LAW of God Himself? undecided
You do remember that all scripture is inspired by God?
But if you insist on hearing it from Jesus

Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I am afraid your claim that no man can oneeed exist above sin is in direct contradiction to the claims of Jesus Christ Himself. Paul and the other apostles were never set up as standards for anyone to follow. The standard has always been, and remains Jesus Christ, for everyone who will follow Him. That Paul and supposedly others struggled, does not change the fact of Jesus Christ as the one and only standard set by God Himself, and since God says it is possible, one ought to believe that indeed it is so.

By the way, do you know what sin is? undecided
I ask because you listed there a couple of things that you assume to be sin but are no where in the commandments that directly stipulate what sin is. For instance, fear, stubbornness, pride are not sinned... They are conditions of the human heart but nowhere does Jesus Christ stipulate that they are sins.

Doing what you know is not right is no exactly the way God defines sin in His word. No, sin is disobedience of His laws as stipulated in either of His covenants. Since we are of the New Covenant, there are given us about 46 commandments that define for us what constitutes sin.

Another one, the love of money is not listed as a sin either...having money as a god/idol is a sin however.

Back to what I said, if you believe Jesus Christ is indeed the TRUTH OF GOD then you ought to believe that GOD HIMSELF said what Jesus Christ did about sin, which is that this who live in direct obedience of His Commandments do not live in sin... According to the very Word of the living God, those who are born of His Spirit of God are no longer slaves to sin, but instead sons/children of God. Rather than living in disobedience to His Commandments(sin) those who born of the Spirit of God live in obedience to His Truth(commandments) by His Spirit.

Now, of course, much of Jesus Christ Himself says there in the gospels runs contrary to what many of you have heard from your many MoGs but remember, the judge and the standard remains Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone - there are no passes to be issued to anyone who falls short of thar standard..nonewhatsoever.
James 4:17
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

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.

Proverbs 6:16-17
There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,

1 Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.”

So you see sin is inevitable. What a Christian has is the blood of Jesus speaking mercy.

Kobojunkie:
Not everyone sins!
Of course that is not what your pastors, who trade in lies, have told you is the case, but the truth is not everyone sins. All most definitely have sinned(past tense) but not everyone continues to sin(present future).

There are indeed those who are no longer slaves to sin.... They are instead transformed through a rebirth by the Spirit of God into sons of God. Yes, those who obey the commandments of Jesus Christ are no longer slaves to sin, and yes, they are living breathing humans, just like you and I and the many pastors and prophets out there.

The standard had never been men who call themselves pastors and preachers but instead Jesus Christ - the Spirit of Truth Himself. Billions walk blind and have lost sight of the truth of God - Jesus Christ - seeking instead pastors, much like the unbelievers seek out babalawos and psychics, for advice and guidance.
No man except Jesus can overcome sin. Even Paul had his sin which he begged God to take away.

Do you love money? You're a sinner.
Do you still fear? You're a sinner.
Are you stubborn? You're a sinner.
Do you have have pride? You're a sinner.
Do you think lustfully? You're a sinner.
Do you not do what you know is right? You're a sinner.

Even James concluded that if you're guilty of one sin you're guilty of all.

We know what the bible says but how practical is it?

Sin corrupts and unfortunately everyone even your pastor still sins.

Either through lying, lust, envy, fornication/adultery, revelry, stubborness, pride, drunkenness, love of money, etc.

So what makes you think anyone can live without committing sins that corrupts

Exactly. Religion definitely promotes the need to create imaginary enemies. Christians find offence just because you don't believe in Jesus. Muslims find offence well in everything that doesn't support the Quran.

The only difference is Christians are not as violent as Muslims.

Hence the conclusion is religion only promotes hate while preaching love and servitude and a place called heaven.

In my office for example in my office just because you don't stand up during their prayer session you're deemed a devil.

Meaning every if you're not a Christian you're an enemy. If only Christianity promotes violence like Islam some of us would not only have been sacked but also attacked even by Christians.

Apparently the axiom Live and Let Live is not acceptable to religionists both Muslims and Christians esp in Nigeria.
