What is this world turning to?

OLAADEGBU:
Why do I need to know the core beliefs of the cult before I preach the gospel?

0m0nnakoda:
Actually the identities ARE NOT KNOWN.This claim is simply NOT TRUE. Without doing any research on the subject the tendency is to assume this but the truth is that Jesus Disciples were largely illiterate.
Peter certainly was a fisherman and the same bible in Acts 4:13 describes him as illiterate. So how then did an illiterate fishermen from Galillee suddenly become literate and literate not just in his native Hebrew or Aramaic the lingua franca that Jesus spoke but GREEK. When and where did he learn GREEK? Why write in Greek. In case you don't know all 27 books of the New Testament were written in Greek. WHY
Any pastor or preacher that went to bible school knows the truth of the NT but keep quiet because it allows them to control the gullible.

The other question is this The NT as we know it consisted of these 27 letters, books, gospels etc written by different people at diffferent times. They were never collected ito one volume in one place that we now calll the NT until a canon was agreed hundreds of years after any of these purported authors died. The decision on what went in or what was kept out of the NT was made by in Rome by the catholic church. This is not a secret except to those who claim to be Christians.Everyone else knows this. My thing is not to say that its contents are true or false but where did it come from first before we talk about the content.
So to say Peter wrote anything is like saying a Fulani Herdsman wrote a religious text in Igbo language

0m0nnakoda:
For me it is very important to question who wrote it > That is crucial just the same whay I question Muhammids claim that God told him to produce the Quran .Who should I believe and why .Or should I believe anyone who claims God sent him with a message for me?

0m0nnakoda:
Who wrote it and when was it written

0m0nnakoda:
Whether I have a God or not proud or ashamed is not relevant here and no I did not want to lecture you about anything/

You made a claim about NT and I asked for evidence. Clearly you have none and are now obfuscating

0m0nnakoda:
My God is for me . Do your own research into the origin of the NT

0m0nnakoda:
Whether I do or not is not relevant to your earlier claim. People have all kinds of ideas about God and the correct way to engage with God. But when challeged about THEIR OWN way they resort to all kinds of obfuscation.
Have you ever enquired into the origin of the New Testament that you bandy about?

0m0nnakoda:
What evidence have you that Jesus intended for a new testament or a new religion called Chritianity?
How much do you know about the origin of the New testament for you to claim that it reflects the intentions of Jesus .Who do you know wrote the various books. where and when?

Jesus did not start Christianity.

He was a Jew.

In the book of Acts 4:13 we are told that Peter was illiterate. Later we are asked to believe he wroote two books in GREEK How?

This is like saying Buhari wrote a book in Igbo


Jesus was circumcised. Did he intended for us to be circumcised? Yes or No?

rapture is also ur opinion. ur free to express it.

Hello Nairalanders

Please don't be offended by my choice of words here because right now as type am in full tears and I hope to find my solution here.
My mun has been sick since 2006 to an unknown sickness and she is dying slowly. We have been to the best hospitals around Delta state (Ubth, Westend, Ogara. Just to mention a few) through out the time of this illness but they have been no out come or what so ever. We have visited the SCOAN on several occasions and almost all the churches around although we are roman Catholic but they have been no solution. We have also gone deep traditionally but we are really confuse right now. I have never seen something like this as am on tears now.

My mum is a devoted Christian and the best Mum Alive, but it seems God has forgotten about us. How will a good woman be on sick for so long? My dad is now feed up of the issue and I can smell it, that he has tried enough to revive her health but she wasn't married nor created like this.

My mum is a mother of 7 children and am the 1st child, I won't give up on her. I am ready to still go extra miles. We heard they are standard hospitals in jigawa so am currently doing a research on that now because this morning her breath is been ceased and she is excreting thick blood from her mouth through out the night.

Please Nairalander I will really appreciate if I can get any standard hospital here in Nigeria, or Any church that can attend to this issue or even a witch doctor because we have been to almost all the churches.

Thanks.

THE bible says, keep the sabbath day holy, the same bible says, seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and his riteousness and every other thing shall be added into it....You have mondays till saturdays to make money and provide for your families, you cannot go to your place of work on sundays, instead of going to the house of GOD, if you do that, then you will go to hell and wont make heaven.. THE time has come for the true worshipers of GOD to worship him in spirit and in truth. And the truth is, If you have a job that requires your service on sundays, then quit the job, because its GOD over everything... GOD will provide a better job for you...Let us tell ourselfs the truth, you cannot claim to love GOD and go to work on sundays instead of going to church to worship him.. so dont deceive yourself, Going to your place of work on sundays will only land you in hell and you are not a true christian...bible reference: Exodus 20 verse 8. deuteronomy 5 verse 12, exodus 31 verse 16.

Is pentecostal Chritianity not a cult? In every aspect it resembles a cult.
Does not allow members to think independently
Works at indoctrination of its followers
Seeks to dominate and control its followers
Demands total obedience of its followers
Seeks to control their financial resources and behaviour
Creates the "we are your family" atmosphere asking its followers to dissociate from the world or any persons who may be a threat to them being controlled by the organization.
The level of mind control is total. If they saw a video of their leader committing murder they will defend him saying the person deserved to die or it was photoshopped.
Which one of these churches has not been involved in one Miracle Revival Scam or the other . NONE!!
They have ALL without exception come on TV to project one fake healing miracle or the other and to project one fake prophesy or the other.

Do not be deceived Pentecostal churches are 100% cults

ADEWUMIMichael:
The study of the End Times and the rapture can cause questions, apprehension, and fear. "Why do I need to study prophecy?" "It is too complicated, and I don't understand what it means." "It makes me anxious and nervous.




" I will not argue with the fact that studying prophecy can be complex and overwhelming. It is difficult to see how these obscure passages can have any significance for us today. They appear to lack relevance to what we are going through right now. If we continue with this mindset, we will miss the rich truth God has provided for us. We cannot understand where we are now if we don’t understand where we are going.




To help you begin developing an understanding and appreciation for this difficult topic,









I have compiled biblical answers to four of the most frequently asked questions about the Rapture.



1. What signs indicate that the End Times are near?



The Rapture—the raising of the Church into heaven ( 1 Thessalonians 4:17 )—is the next event on the prophetic calendar. The following signs indicate that the End Times are near.





The Sign of Deception
Many people will claim to be the Messiah and claim to have the answers for a troubled world. Jesus says to “take heed”—literally to keep our eyes open so we are not fooled. In the End Times, people will be crying desperately for leaders to deliver them, and they will seek mystics and religious leaders who claim to have deeper knowledge.
The Sign of Disputes Among Nations
As wars and dissension among groups of people begin to escalate, we know it is a sign of Christ’s return. The book of Revelation tells us that the Tribulation Period is filled with war—ceaseless, unending, terrible war—that will escalate until the world is involved. The Bible says that as we move toward the End Times, there will be constant talk of conflicts, border skirmishes, race wars, and national battles.





The Sign of Devastation
Today, as you read this, millions of people in the world are going hungry, even though God has blessed us with a fruitful, abundant planet. As we get closer to the End Times, there will be more and more famine. There will also be earthquakes, something that science has said will happen. Christ also spoke of pestilence: the spread of new diseases. Our world is experiencing a spate of tragic new diseases that we are unable to control.





The Sign of Deliverance Into the Tribulation
Just before Jesus returns, there will be an explosion of antagonism toward God’s people. Christians will be persecuted. We are seeing this happen today with the rise of ISIS and their horrific attacks on Christians in the Middle East. As we grow closer to the end, many will pay a high price for living out their faith in our world.







2. Why should I avoid determining a date and time for the Rapture?
The fact is, we cannot calculate the day Christ will return for His Church because God specifically chose not to reveal it to us.




When the apostles asked Jesus about the apocalyptic time, He replied gently but firmly, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you" (Acts 1:7-8 ).



Only God knows what time it is, and only God knows when time will run out.
Future truth impacts present responsibility. It is the knowledge that His coming is soon that puts a little bit of urgency into our step and determination into our service.







3. Will I be a part of the Rapture if my body is cremated?
When the Scripture says, "The dead in Christ will rise," it is speaking of the bodily resurrection of believers. At this time, the spirits of believers will be united with their perfect and complete resurrection bodies. "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first [no exceptions!]. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 ).





If God can do the hard part of calling creation into existence through His spoken words, then it will be no problem for Him to call back the bodies of those who have been swept into the sea, or consumed by fire, or tragically maimed and murdered by vicious and murderous attacks of an enemy.





4. What will happen in Heaven after the Rapture?
After the Rapture, Christians will come before the Judgment Seat of Christ ( 2 Corinthians 5:10 ). The Judgment Seat is not about whether we will enter heaven—we’ll already be there because our sins have been atoned for in the substitutionary death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It will, however, be a time to give an account of the works we have done on earth, and we will be rewarded accordingly. We’ll be assigned places of authority in the coming Millennium based upon our faithfulness to God when we were on earth, as well as the influence we left behind.





There is so much relevant truth to be discovered in the Bible's prophetic passages! I encourage you to continue to study God's plan for the future. What you believe about many of these issues can determine what side you are on when God decides to draw the final curtain on the drama of history. I am confident you will find, as I have, that studying and understanding rapture and the events of tomorrow will change your view of today!

Udmaster:
Thank you buhari for bringing the military for operation python dance in south east,
lets put an end to this stupidity by ipob led by that UNN dropout called Nnamdi Kanu,
a restructured Nigeria is the best for Igbos,
this senseless agitation for Biafra will attract war and Igbos have no support to face such a thing now,
even the Niger deltans will deny us and start singing ONE NIGERIA when the war start,
they are not in support of any Biafra, stop hoping in False sense of solidarity!
ipob is sponsored by pdp to disrupt buhari administration,
Igbos wake up! War is looming
Why will Igbos who are found in every corner of the nation choose breaking away to restructuring?
Now there are crisis here and there, if the north retaliate, do you know how many Igbos that will be killed ?
Why cant Ipob reason with their brain?
Thank you Buhari for the operation python dance,
please the court should hurry up and give an arrest order on kanu so that the evil pdp agent Kanu will be arrested?
What about our investments all over nigeria, it will be seized all over,and Igbos will start from scratch to built again,
why making things difficult for ourselves?
seccesion is war because this is Africa,
and who are you secceeding with?
Remember the ijaws,ogonis,urhobos,itsekiris,ibibios,efiks etc have warned you guys to count them out of biafra map,
go and start war and watch them dancing ONE NIGERIA
Abum nwa afo Igbo,
a restructure Nigeria, o ga akara anyi nm,ka ria ndufu kanu ne edufu nyi

Bros , Tithing was before the law, Abraham, aproved by and under the law ....The popular Mal 3:10 .....and consented to by Jesus Christ and the testament.


Hen 7:8-10 and Matt 23:23 ...Luke 11:42. ... No law abolished it ....However when iT is paid or done as a formula or doctrine it ceases to be a mystery of the kingdom and incapable of benefiting the tither

Trump is a short form of the word trumpet.
Hmmmm.

Malakh:
Bro you just quoting scriptures, do you understand it, let me break it down to you the saints(1440000) at the 7th trump are the ones who meets Yahshua in air at Mount Olives (Zech 14:4) but their feet will be upon Mount Olives to destroy the nations, its after their destruction that Yahshua will reign for a thousand years on earth, I'm a Hebrew Israelite Priest, A Pharisee of the Pharisees,
we practice Judaism the ways of the Jews, the ways of Abraham,Isaac,Jacob, we keep the Torah, we are the children of Israel scattered across the globe not the fake white jews

Malakh:
when the saints meet in the sky they'll be at Mount Olives on earth with Yahshua to watch EU 's army destroyed with the wicked out of the world Zech 14, its after their destruction that Yahshua and His saints will rule for a thousand years on earth so there's no such thing as rapture.Pagan xtians gave people that lie,if everybody goes to heaven who is Yahshua gonna rule on earth,their blood is what is gonna be used to atone for the sins of israel and those proselytes(Gentiles/Shemites/some Africans) in Israel

Malakh:
there's no rapture
