Anas09:It's a selfish mindset sadly. I mean, having to give simply because I am expecting something from God in return. I detest and abhor that mindset. If there is sincere and unconditional love in abundance, everyone would have just enough to meet their needs. |
Anas09:okay, thanks. Do you have anything question so far on the church of Pergamos as regards the seat of Satan and the doctrine of Balaam? So I can finalize that bit with my next two posts on the doctrine of the Nicolaitans...before we proceed to the Thyatira church. |
vicadex07:I am very happy to hear this. Continue to walk in your victory. More details on your testimony would help others struggling with addictions to substances to overcome theirs as well. Substance abuse is a very critical issue and a time bomb currently ravaging a lot of youths. |
here we go; THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM A quick glance at Numbers chapter 22 - 25 tells the story of Balaam, Balak and how the Israelites were seduced into idolatry and fornication. Particularly Numbers 25 v 1-3; 1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women, 2 who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. 3 So Israel yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the Lord’s anger burned against them. 4 The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the Lord, so that the Lord’s fierce anger may turn away from Israel.” Numbers 31 v 15-18 further shows that Balaam adviced Balak to do this in order to ensure the children of Israel would anger and grieve God so God can destroy them; 15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. Anas09, recall that the city of Pergamos was well known for idolatry and sexual immorality as a way of life for those resident there. Even the believers who were called out to live holy lives in service to the Lord still had those justifying and endorsing these traditions & culture in their midst, rather than full obedience to the instructions of Jesus. Anas09, Do you have any clarification before I proceed further and finalize on the Pergamos church in my next two posts? |
Now let's look into the scriptures having an understanding of the background of the city of Pergamos, and the mistakes of believers which Jesus scolded them for in Revelation 2 v 12-17; 12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. The fonts bolded in blue refers to their strengths. The fonts bolded in blue refers to their failures and shortcomings. In my next post, I will answer your questions regarding the Pergamos Church on; 1. What does the 'Seat of Satan' means? - Please note, I have answered this in my preceding post to mean the three great pagan temples, particularly that of Zeus. All sorts of diabolical and occultic things were the order of the day in that city all in the name of worshiping those pagan gods. 2. What are the Doctrines of Balaam? And how are those doctrines casting stumbling blocks on today's Christians? 3. What is the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans? |
Anas09, Let us set the ball rolling with the church of Pergamos. Before we move into the scriptures in Revelation 2, let's have an brief overview of the historical and culture prevalent in the city of Pergamos as at the time John wrote a letter to them. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CITY OF PERGAMOS Pergamos was a rich ancient Greek city with most of it's income coming from trade by the sea ports and tourism (majorly from visitors thronging the various temples). For a coastal city as such, which was a melting pot of trade, commerce and tourism, idolatry and sexual immorality was the order of the day and a way of life in a decadent Roman Empire. Devotion to many idols, temple prostitution to glorify the fertility goddess Athena and other sexual immoral acts were seen as the norm, culture and way of life in Pergamos. The city of Pergamos had three temples dedicated to the worship of the Roman emperor, another for the goddess Athena, and the Great Altar of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. The Altar of Zeus is what many bible scholars considered as the seat of satan referred to by Jesus in Revelation 2. I have given a brief summary on the background of the ancient Greek city of Pergamos now in modern day Turkey. For detailed expose on Pergamos, you can refer to this source; https://www1.cbn.com/700club/seat-satan-ancient-pergamum I would have pasted more links and resources, but I'm cautious of the anti-spam bot. Antipas, a church leader at Pergamos was martyred for the sake of the gospel (Revelation 2 v 13). He was roasted alive in a bronze bull for the testimony of Jesus. See picture below for further details on how excruciating that kind of death is. You can also check Foxe's Book of Martyrs on that.

klap4gbens:Great! I'll reach out to you then. Cheers. |
Anas09:I agree with this totally. Jehovah Jireh surely provides. Although, I also feel there should be an improved awareness among the wealthier and well to do brethren concerning the plight of missionaries, especially those in the remote areas. Monetary donations, used clothes and many other stuffs that can help missionaries and those they minister unto. Mehn, there's a lot to be done. |
Anas09:Hi Anas09, thanks for taking out time to create this thread for us to discuss. I will bring both the scriptures and historical evidences to put Revelation 2 as regards Thyatira and Pergamos in perspective. And answer your questions as well. |
klap4gbens:Do you have a system in place for recording your revenues, expenses and internal controls? I can offer you free consultancy as my widow's mite in improving your business as it grows. |
Anas09:God's mercies are sufficient to help you in this ministry. Missionary work is one of the less glamorous but very important work required to spread the gospel in remote areas. I am thinking hard of how to make the system organized and better welfare wise for missionaries. I wonder how most of them in the remote areas survive. Then as for the less privileged you cater for, I'm sure there's something you can relate with, there's no way you help this people and God will ignore you. I await more testimonies in this regard. |
klap4gbens:Nice, God bless your hustle. Could have patronized, but I don't stay close by. |
When one calls you out for your shortcomings... you're an enemy. When one praises you for the good things you do, it becomes a Trojan horse gift. Some people are darn too impossible. Wisdom ordinarily should come with age...but oh well, there are obviously exceptions showing up themselves. The bitter truth has very few friends, whilst a warm cozy lie has many allies... Anyways, let the testimonies continue to flow... everyone. This beautiful thread will not be derailed by strife and bitterness of others. |
Anas09:You are a missionary, and also have a burden for street kids and abandoned elderly people. Nice and selfless. |
Anas09:Wow! |
One more thing please, ignore the unbelievers who wants to ridicule your gratitude and thanksgiving unto God via your testimonies. God bless us all. As we give Him thanks for seeing His finger, He would show us His hands. More breakthroughs and progress going forward shall be our portion as we glorify God and give Him thanks with our testimonies! |
We overcame the devil by the blood of the lamb, and the word of our testimonies Keep the testimonies flowing everyone. Your testimonies will revive the fainting souls of those undergoing their wilderness experience at the moment. It will encourage them not to give up hope on God. I hope this thread stays active for a very very very very long time. Cheers and God bless you all. |
Good morning everyone. I'll drop the details on this topic later in the day. Thanks and God bless The Inspiring Story & Experience & Testimony of Akiane Kramarik that converted her atheist parents and many others to Christ.
|
madprophet:Yes o. We have to be truthful to ourselves. |
Anas09:Madam wants to beat a hasty retreat after glaring evidences were brought to show her double standards. Anas09:I can't believe you simply jumped over a post I made few moments ago on this thread on various subject matters covered by Jesus in the Bible which also includes exerting authority over illnesses (i.e. healing) and evil spirits. And coming here to also tell us Jesus ignored Satan throughout His ministry is sheer ignorance. Jesus and Satan discussed well in His temptations in the wilderness. Jesus also saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven after the 70 disciples came back with glowing reports of their outreach. Jesus referred to Satan as the one who planted tares among the wheat while men slept. These things are in your Bible...how did you miss them out? Anas09:I don't despise old age dear. I despise folly in old age. I have little pity for those wallowing stubbornly in folly in their old age. And thank goodness for confessing your U turn and sudden bitterness towards the OP had nothing to do with the topic, but your fights with Jesusjnr Anas09:Hello, what I've been speaking since with Biblical references are what? words of man abi? Anas09:This is the folly displayed in old age I totally despise. How the OP whom you encouraged to FULLY EXPOSE THE WORKS OF SATAN earlier on page 26 of this thread is suddenly magnifying and exalting the works of Satan simply because of your bitterness towards another person he supported on this thread is just amazing. Truly...I was spot on when I said some people's folly multiply as they get older, and this is just a clear example of that. Madam, I am in awe of your double standards. Well done eh. Only God will help you to be sincere at this your age.
|
And I thank God the matter of alternate moniker was brought to the light as far back as 2017...when one ignorant fellow accused me of opening multiple monikers for separate covert activities.
|
Anas09:Anas09, read your own post and stop paraphrasing it. You told the OP to expose Satan fully. I didn't see where the scope was limited to school cult and all sorts...although that was what the thread was opened for in the first place. Please who will see this post of yours and think otherwise? You among others gave the OP a full thumbs up to throttle on and expose the works of darkness. In your very words you said this "EXPOSE SATAN AND HIS WORKS IF YOU ARE REALLY DONE WITH HIM" Now how that has suddenly turned to satanism and glorifying satan...we all know it got down to this. Strife with someone else you were not happy with, and the OP supported.
|
Anas09:Cheers. Have a great day today. |
Anas09:You can go ahead dear. Mention we so we'll discuss there in detail. No fights, no quarrels. We'll be having insightful discussions there from both the biblical and historical perspectives. |
And as for your questions as to why Jesus "scarcely" discussed on the subject matters of demons from "Genesis to Revelation" There were many other subject matters Jesus spoke of. Primarily, the Kingdom of God, Faith, Prayer, Exercising authority over illnesses and evil Spirits, Love, the Holy Spirit e.t.c. Everything Jesus spoke of are different topics to be focused on and broadened out as the Holy Spirit gives revelation. That one chooses to expose the works of darkness and bring them to light, does not necessarily mean the other matters are ignored. Check what the purpose of this thread is for. As for other subject matters, other threads have been opened to expound on them sufficiently. STOP MISTAKING A PART OF THE PICTURE FOR THE WHOLE PICTURE. |
Anas09:I can't help but see how you started fighting the OP when he didn't attack Jesusjnr on this thread as you hoped and wished for. Immediately after that, the OP was suddenly magnifying and exalting the works of Satan...rather than exposing them as you initially told him to ![]() You think it is fools following this thread ba? |
Anas09:Mrs. Double Standards, check out what the purpose of this thread is. It is about exposing the works of Satan and removing the wool of ignorance from people's eyes. You hypocritically encouraged the OP to do so, only to turn around, show up your real intentions and disrupt this thread. You are not fooling anyone here. All of a sudden, after seeing the OP is not fighting Jesusjnr as you wished and hoped for, he is suddenly promoting the works of satan, rather than exposing them... Anas09 the bitter old woman sowing seeds of discord among people. Can't laugh but see you calling me a Satanist. Oh well even many Pharisees falsely accused Jesus of being in league with Belzeebub. Your opinion is as useless as the P in Psychology. And wait, you were also deliberately blind to where OP spoke about the power of God and converting others from cultism and other struggles to Jesus on this thread? abi you wan make I bring the screenshots come here ni?
|
madprophet:God bless you brother. Soon another person will call Dr. Olukoya a certified demonologist and charlatan. I can't help but shake my head in pity for them. It is well. Just take a look at someone's double standards, she knows the truth...but her beef with the OP and some others on this thread then suddenly she has made a U turn to attack the OP.
|
Anas09:Blind and false accusations as always. Didn't Jesus teach his disciples on how demons operate when one is casted but if the host remains empty, it comes with 7 more stronger than itself? Didn't Jesus teach his disciples certain demons don't go out except by prayers and fasting? Madam, open your Bible and see it na... unless you're telling us Jesus was referring to cherubs and seraphs in those instances...smh. And oh, Jesus also appeared to beloved Hagin of blessed memory and taught him extensively on the subject matter of demons... Perhaps you need to get your memory refreshed by referring to screenshots of triumphant church I pasted earlier on this thread... unless you're indirectly calling Hagin a false teacher as well. ![]() |
Anas09:Ehen, I like how the goal post is shifting gradually...first it's from where are the testimonies on this thread? To how can such testimonies here edify others struggling in their faith? You no get point abeg, what's the next excuse you want to hang on to? A simple summary on the purpose of those testimonies is this...those who think the devil is powerful is not as powerful as he paints himself to be. God is Almighty and powerful and puts the work of the devil to shame. God is still in the business of reaching out to save anyone willing to be saved from the clutches and bondage of Satan the oppressor. |
Anas09:Obviously you can't help repeating yourself over and over again. EnthronedbyGod opened another thread on Heaven... you didn't castigate him on that one. After exposing the works of Satan as your hypocritical self encouraged him to do on page 26, he is suddenly focused on Satanism... Mrs.Double Standards, what is stopping you from calling Hagin a charlatan and demonologist?
