MaxInDHouse:
Deborah wore a nose ring! Genesis 24:22-47

I think you mean Rebecca. Yes she did. Not just her, virtually every woman at the time. Jewelry had always been a symbol of decoration and beauty for people, especially God's children, until Exodus 33.

viyon02:
Op, from time immemorial jewelries has been part of worship of Israelites, Solomon's temple was made from pure Gold and silvers donated by Israelites, you may choose not to use it but never conderm those that are using. The key word here is "modesty" once it is use in appropriate manner never judge anyone.

Thank you for your thoughts

Kobojunkie:
So when God adorned His own people with jewelry, ornaments, and perfumes to His people, God committed sin, right?

Why do you lot relish in making God appear as though an incompetent fool by your every utterance?

So you intentionally decided to skip Exodus 33:5, or you refuse to read it.

The scripture in Ezekiel 16 is not talking about a woman, or women. It's a figurative language God used to describe Jerusalem. Decking with jewelry, or placing a crown, are all metaphors used to describe God's care and Glory roundabout His children.

Read verse 18 down and you'll see how the children of Jerusalem made rubbish of God's decorations on them and used the materials for idolatry instead.

More so, God had instructed in Exodus 33:5 that the children of Israel put off their ornaments.
The children of Israel as you may already know had a habit of using their ornaments to build idols of worship. A practice they had learnt from the Godless Egyptians.

By disregarding God with their ornaments, these ornaments became a symbol of Idolatry. Hence, God made a pronouncement which He has not revoked till this day.

Exodus 33

:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

33:6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.


The words of prophet Ezekiel where prophesies of things past, things present, and things to come. Some of them were a replay of the Children of Israel's disobedience back in Egypt, and some, the Prophecy of Babylon's imminent destruction.

Daniel's revelations also make us to understand that the mention of Babylon is not just a reflection of the City of Babylon. Babylon in the Bible is a representation of any rebellious nation, a nation that may even exist in the 21st century, or the sinful world as a whole.

That is why, in order to unravel Biblical truths and mysteries, you need God's guidance, not head knowledge or theological certificate.


Like @Dtruthspeaker said, use of Jewelry, artificial materials, and naked dressing is just one of the things, if not least on the list of things a believer seeking heaven should put off.

There are many other areas of the scriptures rarely discussed or maybe rarely implemented in our everyday lives. But God gave humanity a trick cheat – Jesus

And Jesus gave us the Gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit makes it easier for us christians to conform to God's standard and manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

No one is ready for this discussion, but it has to happen nonetheless.

Warning!

BEFORE RELAYING YOUR THOUGHTS, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE SCRIPTURES TAGGED TO EACH POINT. THE BIBLE IS INSPIRATION FROM GOD AND GIVEN TO US FOR REPROVE AND REBUKE. ALSO, PRAY EARNESTLY BEFORE DROPPING ANY COMMENTS SO YOU DON'T SPEAK CARNALLY AND FROM HEAD KNOWLEDGE.

DISCLAIMER:

Truths in this excerpt may be hazardous to areas of spiritual mediocrity and denial in your life. Before deciding you want to be a Christian who will make heaven, you have to be ready to go all in for Jesus.


Intro

The book of proverbs emphasizes that the only wisdom a man can have is the fear of God to embrace humility and pray for God's leading in everything he does. We shouldn't be spontaneous. We should not speak or act from head knowledge. When I tell you this, I advice myself too.

Other observations:

Christians are not ready to go all in. They are not convinced to go the extra mile. What I mean is –

1. We see christians be christians on their own. They serve God and profess their love for Him only when things are convenient. Many have abandoned the great commission which states that, WE ARE SAVED TO SERVE. Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every creature.


2. There is the friction of denomination. Everyone's focus is on my church. How my church is better than the other. The focus is no longer on Jesus who is the Head of The Church.


3. Not all christians are ready to accept the whole truth of God's word. They select the one that is convenient for them and disregard the hard ones.



What is the convenient gospel?

It is the gospel of prosperity and materialism. They shall be the head and not the tail. They shall excel above their peers.
Give and it shall be given unto you.
Heaven on earth.
Your well shall never run dry. Wear whatever you want, Christianity is in the heart!

Forgetting that God in His Word said; Seek ye first the kingdom of God and it's righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

They carry on their heads the promise of God which says; I will make your ways prosperous and thou shalt have good success. They forget that before that statement God said,
..... If ye hearken to me and keep my commandments...[/b]I will make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success.



[b]What is the Hard Gospel?


It is in this section you'll see why the use of jewelry, artificiality, and wrong dressing is a sin


Seek ye first the kingdom of God and it's righteousness, and all this things shall be added unto you.
Without seeking God and being righteous and holy as He is, man cannot fulfill purpose and receive the entirety of God's blessings.

Yes, the law of give and receive will still apply to such a person. He or she can prosper in their own conceit, because God sends rain to the Just and Unjust.
Psalm 49:16-17, 19

That is why an evil man may prosper, but God's blessings and approval won't be with him, hence, his gains will only end here on earth, after death, he is bound for eternal doom, like the Rich man in Luke 16:19-31


1. The hard gospel of
Be ye holy for I am holy Lev 19-20. Without holiness no man shall see God. Hebrews 12:14


2. The hard gospel of adornment and artificiality. The accursed items called Jewelry, makeup, and artificial things which have been condemned since the old testament, before Jesus' earthly ministry.
Christians, even ministers, and bishops are scared to address this subject, and so they tell their members to disregard it, despite many revelations and testimonies concerning the link between these accursed materials, the marine world and Hell fire. Ezekiel 23:40-49

Several times, curious people have asked that, if God wanted his creation to use earrings and jewelry, He would have bore holes in their ears naturally from their birth. Every hole and organ needed for man's continual survival on earth is already placed in his body before birth.

Yet christians approve plastic surgery, adornments, jewelry, artificial things, thereby adding to God's image, which implies that God didn't do his work of creation well. In Exodus 33:5, God gave an instruction to his children. That instruction has not changed till this day. Even when Jesus came, he didn't change the instruction. Or are today christians not children of God?


3. The hard gospel of a woman should not wear a man's garment and vice versa. Deuteronomy 22:5

4. The hard gospel of manifesting the 9 fruits of the Holy spirit - love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Gal 5:22-23

5. The hard gospel of praying without ceasing, putting on the shield of truth, the sword of faith, and the breastplate of righteousness.


Recapping

Abortion and murder are the same sin. Stealing company fund and properties is stealing. A thief is a thief irrespective of the style used.

The sin of worldliness is overlooked by many believers. The dressing, the painting, the artificial nails and hair, the ornaments , the worldly music and entertainment are taking many believers to hell fire.

The narrow way is obedience to the gospel of truth, righteousness and inward / outward holiness. Not just inward holiness. The broad way is rejecting the gospel of truth, righteousness and holiness. And only adhering to the gospel of materialism which can never take you to heaven.



P.S: Have you heard of Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide (HOREMOW)? It is a non-denominational outreach dedicated to broadcasting truths about holiness, righteousness, the afterlife, and not just fleeting prosperity on earth.
God's word is more than the riches, health, and favor we can get on earth.

Kobojunkie:
1. According to Jesus Christ, except a man be born-again, He cannot enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8 - through either of two gates - Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Luke 13 vs 22 - 27 - the broad gate which leads to Hell(destruction) and the Narrow gate which leads to Heaven(True Life) - and He, Jesus Christ, is King over both Heaven(Eternal Reward) and Hell/HellFire(Eternal Damnation) in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. What this all means is that even those who will spend eternity in Hellfire are all of them born-again. So, when you the reason a "good" person would end up in Hell/Hellfire is because the one has not met Jesus Christ, what exactly do you mean?

2. As for your claim that no man has the key to the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ practically gave the key to the Kingdom of God to everyone who would come to Him, this over 2000 years ago, indicating that the only way to use the key in order to gain access to Heaven is to in fact live one's life in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments - abide in Him, in order that He would abide in one. So when you instead say that no man has the key to the Kingdom of God, what do you in fact mean?

No man in his adamic ordinary state has the key to the kingdom. Only Jesus. Nevertheless, Jesus handed to us the keys to the kingdom...but that is only possible when we become one with him. When we become like Jesus. And to become like him, we must first accept him.

The point of the entire message is to accept Jesus, and crave a relationship with him, and be Holy as He is, to be able to enter his kingdom. John 14:1-7.
You may know the scriptures to an extent, that's alright. But in all your desire for argument, don't deviate from the point of the message which is – without Jesus, man's life is purposeless, and void of eternal future.

T for Tnks

Hi brothers and sisters,

We need to make sure that we do have a real relationship with Jesus and that we are being led by the Holyspirit.

Jesus promises to be the Shepherd who leads His sheep to good pasture.
He does this through the continued leadership of the Holyspirit.

When leaving earth, Jesus said He would not leave His disciples like orphans but instead would send the Holyspirit to lead them in all truth.

The work of the Holyspirit is to be a constant Shepherd and Teacher to God's children while they are on earth until the day they leave this earth.

His work is to be a Shepherd.

Whenever a child of God is about to stray from the path the Holyspirit is there to correct them,rebuke them and teach them.
He does not just watch them silently.
He speaks about sin even on things not clearly stated in scripture,the Holyspirit will still clearly tell God's children not to engage in those sins.

The Holy Spirit will still clearly tell God's children not to partake of ungodly entertainment.

And at the same time the Holy Spirit also speaks pertaining to false teachings that satan may try to bring in God's name.The Holyspirit speaks clearly on what is true and what is false because He doesn't want us to be misled.He wants us to keep walking on the path to eternal life.

We really need the Holyspirit.

He is jealous for us because He doesn't want us to be defiled by this world but wants us to be holy and pleasing to our Bridegroom, JESUS.

He speaks because His desire is that we should be saved.
The Holyspirit speaks and shows the way in all circumstances because He doesn't want God's children to lose their salvation.

But when people stubbornly continue in sin, ignoring the Holyspirit, eventually He lets them have their way, because He cannot force us to obey.
The Holyspirit will not watch God's children continue in sin and not correct and rebuke them.

That is why when a person receives the baptism of the Holyspirit, the most evident change is their lifestyle.
A person cannot receive the baptism of the Holyspirit yet comfortably continue in their sins.

The Holyspirit is the author of HOLINESS and when He begins the work of holiness in a believer,He wants to make sure He completes that work.
That is why we must make sure we are led by the Holyspirit and not walking in the flesh.
We must not be stubborn to His correction and rebuke.

Sometimes the Holyspirit tells people to quit sin but they choose to ignore because they are comparing themselves to other Christians instead of just looking at Jesus.
Such people will persish in the end because people cannot save us, only Jesus can.
No one can become the Holyspirit for us,there's no replacement for the Holyspirit.
That is why we must make sure that we develop a relationship with Jesus by staying connected to Him.

Spend time in real prayer from the heart daily, and have a lifestyle of seeking God.
Give God priority in your life.

The Lord will start to teach you and to prune you. He corrects because He wants to give you eternal life because sin cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven.
The Holyspirit cannot lead and teach you when you never spend time in prayer and just spend time on earthly things.
Start to pray and Jesus will be your Teacher.He wants to.
If you want to clearly know God's voice,it happens automatically when you have been spending alot of time in prayer.

Seek God and have a real relationship with Jesus. Make sure you obey the Holyspirit.Do not grieve Him with sin.

Social media has made it very easy for people to speak alot of careless words to others and to participate in ungodly jokes that make light of sin and also mock God.
But Jesus said we will be held accountable for every word we speak.

Matthew 12:36-37
"But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The consequences of careless talk are grave,by your words you will be condemned to hell because your words will reveal what is in your heart,and by your words you will be aquitted.

Flirtatious words towards the opposite sex,dirty jokes, hurtful comments,foul words, cussing are not for Christians.
Anyone who engages in these will give an account to God on the day of judgement on why they were flirting with men/women even if they called it "joking" or why they said hurtful things to people just because they were hiding behind a screen,and why they participated in talk not worthy of anyone called by the name of Christ.

Proverbs 10:19
"In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise."

Jesus is still holy,He does not change and He doesn't lower the standard He desires of His children.
He wants them to be unaffected by the increased moral decay because God's children live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God,not by the ever changing standards of the world.
Be holy for I am holy,says the Lord.(1 Peter 1:16)

At Death You Will Know God is Righteous Even in Judgement

Sometimes people think they have many more years ahead but then death comes suddenly.
Just the other day I heard of a lady who just went to take a shower but collapsed and died.
Was she ready for eternity?
If that happened to us, would we be ready for eternity?

Regardless of wether you were an atheist or believed in God,at death you will know beyond all doubt that God is real and you will clearly know what you should have done to be saved,and if you are condemned to hell you will know exactly why and with all your heart you will understand that the judgement is fair.
I do not say this as an opinion but God made me experience it when He showed me hell.
No one in hell thinks God is unjust.
They may blaspheme God's name but deep down their hearts,all the people in hell knew they only had themselves to blame.
They knew Jesus had made a way of salvation which they rejected.
Because once you enter the spiritual realm, everything becomes extremely clear.
You clearly realize what was important in life that you should have spent your time on.
You clearly realize what conversations you shouldn't have bothered with, what arguements and disagreements were unnecessary and just a waste of the prescious time God had given you to serve Him.
When Jesus took me to hell I felt like all conversations that were not about Jesus were a complete waste.
They may not be sinful but they were unprofitable and a waste of my time.
That's how being in the spiritual realm,apart from your earthly body makes you feel.
You realize you were the real loser for being unforgiving, and you wish you had forgiven everyone no matter what they did and regardless of wether or not they were sorry for it because now you see that unforgiveness costs your soul.

Matthew 6:15
"But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

You realize serving God is the most important work we have here on earth and everything else should just be secondary.
When I saw my childhood friend in hell,she was saying,"I wish I was in your place.If I was in your place I wouldn't waste my time.I wouldn't even go out to nice restaurants with my friends.Instead all the time I would be praying,if am not praying I would be reading the Bible,if am not reading the Bible I would be evangelizing. But I wouldn't waste my time!"
It's not a sin to go and have fun or eat at nice restaurants to relax but because she was in eternity,this woman saw that as very unimportant compared to preparing for eternity and serving God.
When you step into eternity priorities become clear because the flesh is out of the way,but it's too late by then.
The time to serve God is today.
We must be good stewards of the time given to us here on earth and live for God's glory.
We must live a holy life of repentance and obedience to Jesus.
Seeking Him everyday and keeping our eyes on our bridegroom.
We must not be adulterous and fall in love with this perishing world.
Here on earth people may accuse God of being unjust in His judgement but once you die and your flesh is out of the way,you will realize God is just even in judgement.
At death you will realize He showed you so much love here on earth.
You will realize He gave you so many chances to repent and turn to Him but you thought the pleasures of sin were better.
In hell no one thinks their sin was worth going to hell for.
They all feel very foolish!
They all know they deserve to be there because they made their own choice.
This is what God showed me.
You will realize you despised God's mercy and that you have only yourself to blame for perishing.
We who are still alive can turn to Jesus because this is the chance He's giving us to turn from sin and follow Him.
Tommorow isn't promised,the day to repent is today.
This is the day to choose Jesus and reject our sin.

Mark 9:43-48
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—
where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’
And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—
where ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire—
where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.

The reason is because they haven't met Jesus. They don't know God.

No matter how righteous a man can be, his self righteousness cannot save him. No man has the key to the kingdom. Only Jesus. To make heaven, you must first know Jesus.

Man's life on earth is only a fraction of eternity. The forever in a man's life begins after he dies. And there are only two realities after death – Heaven & Hell.

Besides gaining wealth and power, what matters more than anything is your relationship with Jesus.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life
No man can come to the Father except by him. In other words, Jesus is the ticket to heaven as He conquered death to give us salvation.

You can't enter heaven after death if you don't know Jesus. And knowing Jesus entails a lot of things besides professing that you're a Christian.

(Matt 7:22)

This thread is here to supply with messages for your soul. Read and be blessed

Jesus is much more precious than a thousand years of earthly wealth,pleasure,fame,power,and happiness.

One day,those thousand years will come to an end,then where will your soul go?
No matter how long you may live on earth,death will surely catch up with you one-day.
Even if you could live till you're 150 years,a day will still come when those 150 years are over and eternity stares you in the face.

The best thing anyone can do in this life is to make sure their soul is secure because the end of this earthly life is not the end, judgement follows so that we may give an account for the things we did in this body.

If you have all wealth,health,power,fame but have not put your faith in Jesus,all those things melt into nothing as you enter eternity.
It's better to have Jesus than to have a thousand years of earthly bliss without Jesus,they will come to an end one day and then where will your soul be?
Putting your faith in Jesus is accompanied by a change of lifestyle, which is repentance from sin.
If we claim to believe in Jesus but continue in sin,Jesus does not know us and will reject us.

2 Corinthians 5:10-11
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences."

Revelation 21:8
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."

Galatians 5:19-21
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

Like I predicted. We would have to choose between 2 ancestors as our next president. Nigerians truly deserve what they've got so far

Lol. The votes from the primaries aren't the vote of all Nigerians nau. Just a sect of people decided who'd they prefer to compete for the seat of presidency.
If who runs for president wasn't dictated by the votes from a sect of Nigerians in the primaries, it'd have been a totally different story.

I'm an experienced content writer without a degree and I've found that it is almost impossible to land a writing job with any company / website owner even though I am eager to work. Is there no provision in the freelance market for writers without a degree? Why should a person's expertise be dictated by a degree in a field that may be totally unrelated to what they're applying for?

Shea butter is ur best bet

Really? Ok... thanks

Hello house, please I need your opinions on how to make my natural hair really really soft.

I'm not after length, I just want a soft textured hair that I can style comfortably without having to keep my hair in a plait all day long simply because I'm scared it'd get strong and tough the next hour.

I've been using Shea butter for about 2 years now and it has helped to an extent but I just don't think my hair is there yet. I heard Indian hemp creams grow hair real good, but I don't really hear about whether it softens hair.

Any thoughts please?
