Religion / Re: We Must Build A National Temple For Traditional Religion by paxonel(m): 6:21am On Apr 21 |
Reflect7:Just like Africans had changed their devotion towards African dieties over the years, You know, Africans were taken aslaves which also constitute societal change in America today, your write up is like saying, let all African Americans begins to migrate back to Africa which is not possible. So, it is also not possible that Africans should begin revert into African deity devotion the way it was before they first interacted with Europeans, such that they now begin to build temples in their capitals, it's not possible. See, what will be will surely be. Leave it the way it is. It is also beautiful like this . Variation is paramount. Change is paramount is the evidence that GOD IS MOST POWERFUL, there is nothing anyone can do about it |

Religion / Re: Let's Talk About Pentecostalism by paxonel(m): 8:19am On Apr 20 |
JessicaRabbit:You are absolutely right! It's not only peculiar to pentecostalism but it's also a problem of both Catholics and Protestants. They all flopped! It's the same reason many Christians on NL see me as not being on the Christian side, because i keep raising these kind of questions with the aim of trying to portray what true Christianity should be. I keep saying that God is more interested in the entire universe than a mere building or place including all it activities that is called the church. But it seems that people are so perverted in the mind that there is nothing one can do to change their view about the church and set them free . And pastors are the ones enjoying these whole episodes while they are the ones loosing 2 Likes |

THE MODERN ISRAELI ARE ACTUALLY THE ISREALITES OF BIBLE DAYS. THEY STILL SPEAK THE HEBREW LANGUAGE AND UPHOLD THE JEWISH RELIGION JUDAISM TILL TODAY. CURRENTLY, THEY ARE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER NATIONS BEFORE GOD AND THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL COVENANT ABOUT THEM ANYMORE, THEREFORE THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN.

Religion / Our Primary Service Of God To Prioritise Is The Earth And Not The Church by paxonel(m): 7:30am On Apr 14 |
Psalms 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. So every message in church that tells you that your primary service to God is being a pastor, an Usher, a choir member, an evangelist, a keyboardist, a pulpit decorator, a man server, etc, is not of God. This will just be a surprise to many Christians especially the conservatives. When God created man, he asked them to replenish the earth and subdue it. He didn't ask them to engage in religious activities. So you that has a profession and you are huzzling to make your money to keep your family, build your house and beautify your environment living in peace with your neighbour and engage in selecting a better ruler to govern you in order to provide basic infrastructures, jobs, aiming at a better economy that will impact positively to everyone, you are actually doing the primary assignment God has created you for. And the good thing is, this primary assignment is not restricted to just one Sabbath day like every sundays. It is something you do everyday, just like your worship to God is everyday. Leviticus 6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. |

Politics / Re: Open The Borders For Consumable Goods Or The Economy Remain Stagnant by paxonel(m): 9:41am On Apr 11 |
Yes, ideas rule the world. A leader without vision and ideas is good for nothing. For 9 years now, You closed borders to prevent competition with local industries that produces local foods. Yet you did not improve electricity, you did not implement industrial policies that will enhance production and packaging quality standards and security for these local farmers to produce rice, wheat and other consumable products that are quality enough to compete with feign rice, foreign wheat, foreign spaghetti and canned tomatoes and fishes etc. in the market. A country with a very low GDP that produces less for it citizens, talkless of producing enough for exportation? The only thing you can produce to help improve living standards right now is to open the borders for other countries that have products to sell, to come in and do supplies. But you prevented that. You are a wicked leader You want hunger and starvation to kill your population before you know |
Politics / Open The Borders For Consumable Goods Or The Economy Remain Stagnant by paxonel(m): 7:17am On Apr 11 |
For 9 years now that Buhari had closed the borders, his intention was to encourage local production of food supplies. But without considering the effects of irregular power supply and insecurity to the industrial and Agricultural sector, his good intentions became an economic reproach for 9 years now due to monopoly of local producers and distributors who consistently embarked on increment of price of consumable goods against all odds of price control As the surge of deregulation of the down stream sector of the petroleum industry sets in by the Tinubu administration which had impacted greatly to transportation of Agricultural produce,prices of food materials produced by local farmers have been on the increase, thereby leading to extreme starvation and hunger which have never been experienced for decades. Since the Federal government have failed to encourage local producers through the provision relatively stable power supply to industries and security to farmers, therefore it is imperative to allow opening of the borders pending on when they are ready to fix power and security for local producers as immediate opening of the borders will enhance competition which is essential for price reduction and stability of exchange rate as it were, before the on-set of this 9 years. of Buhari /Tinubu led administration |

Image123:Is this suppose to mean when a Christian sin he does not have to repent? In case you don't understand the meaning of the word requirement and how it applies To pass government in waec is not a requirement to be admiited in the university for studying Biochemistry. Does that mean that a student prospecting to study Biochemistry should not pass government in waec? The answer is no! When you have difficulties understanding simple logic the reasonable thing to do first is to ask questions, or you don't have business quoting me, talkless of using words like clown on top of what your brain is not developed enough to understand, otherwise you make a fool out of yourself. Now, don't quote me again except you have anything reasonable to say, or I will not respond |

Image123:certainly. It depend on what God sees as sin, not what we see as sin. The truth is, whosever is born of God is seen by God as Christ himself. Not by what he actually is. Because of this, he does not commit sin in God's eyes. That is, God has forgiven all his iniquities in advance because of Christ |

Ken4Christ:There are two possible ways to become a Christian. 1. By birth : as in new birth in Christ. 1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. A child that is born and brought up in Christian home is a Christian right from the point of his birth until he decides to change his religion when he becomes an adult. If he choses to continue in Christ and die a Christian then he has eternal life, simple 2. By conversion : that is, when someone that wasn't a Christian initially is preached to, and he believed. At that point he is a believer |

Ken4Christ:this your statement contradicts Romans 3:28 Romans Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. you didn't attach any scripture in support of this Romans 10 is very straight forward to understand. start reading from verse 1 you will understand what the whole chapter is explaining Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. The aim of this whole Epistle of Paul is that Israel should be saved. And for them to be saved they have to confess Christ. That is, to agree that Jesus is the Christ, simple. The opposite of the word confess there is to deny. To confirm this, read the stories of Jesus while he was yet alive before he was crucified. The Pharisees who were the leaders of the Jews(Israelites) actually denied Christ as their Messiah. Even till today the scripture did not mention any stage. It is just believe that's all. Whether you believe in the heart or mind or confess it out with your mouth that Jesus is the Christ, it is still amount to believe which all Christians today have done in their heart too that is their own cup of tea. What is important is that the vast majority of Christians all over the world today have believed confess, believe, accept, they are all the same synonyms, therefore there is nothing like second stage. The point is, Paul had used all these synonyms to say one thing, which is to believe that's all Jesus put is as one, not on stages by saying whoever believes in me should not perish but have everlasting life. one can only say the words that he believes. Meaning, if you don't believe in your heart you cannot confess or say it out . So everything still amount to believe |
Religion / Re: There Is No Point Telling A Christian That He Should Give His Life To Christ by paxonel(m): 1:24am On Apr 08 |
FxMasterz:let's look at what it means to confess Christ in the context of this scripture. It does not necessarily mean to confess sin. For instance, if someone is a fornicator it doesn't mean that the person should confess that he is a fornicator. Confession in this context actually mean to be convinced and accept it to the point you can say it out with your mouth that the Jesus that was crucified is the Christ or Messiah(as anticipated by the Israelites of that time). Don't get me wrong : I'm not saying that confession sin to a Reverend father or a pastor is wrong. But I'm saying that, this is not what the context of that scripture is referring to Now, do you agree that everyone, especially those that were born and raised by Christian parents have no problem confessing Christ according to this scripture, and therefore they are all saved? |

LordReed:Exactly! primarily, preaching was suppose to be educative. The time was suppose to be used as opportunity to enlighten church members the content of the bible and how the two basic messages of the bible are applied to this present reality which are : 1. Love God with all your heart 2. Love your neighbour as yourself But unfortunately, they have totally abandoned that mandate to pick up their own personal mandates of distorting from people in the face of a dysfunctional economy |

FxMasterz:To you, who is a believer in Christ ? |
Religion / Re: There Is No Point Telling A Christian That He Should Give His Life To Christ by paxonel(m): 7:11pm On Apr 07 |
LordReed:definitely you are right. I understand what you are saying. It follows that altar calls are never the right approach to win souls since the pastor cannot determine who exactly among the congregation is unbeliever. Because any attempt to make a general call will also include ignorant believers or Christians whom the church has failed to educate them in that aspect to let them know that they were already saved by virtue of the fact that they were born Christians and were made to believe in Christ from childhood. So, a better approach to catch up with Non Christians is to preach the word of salvation from the pulpit. If any of them deem it fit or decides to change their religion at that point, will do so quietly, or approach the pastor secretly to inform him that he want to be converted. This is more appropriate than throwing a random call for salvation to the general congregation. Except their target is to continue deceiving people to make money from their ignorance |

FxMasterz:Most pastors in Nigeria especially don't specify who they are calling out, that's the problem. What is hard for them to just say emm! Muslims,Ogboni,Witches etc, come out! Than for them to put a general call where most people coming out were either members of other denominations of Christianity who were invited to church? The worst is, they make it look as if these people were never Christians at all by tagging them church goers |
Religion / Re: There Is No Point Telling A Christian That He Should Give His Life To Christ by paxonel(m): 2:32pm On Apr 07 |
LordReed:why then are postors not saying if you know you are an atheist in this church, come out for salvation? Why are they targeting Christians? |
Religion / Re: There Is No Point Telling A Christian That He Should Give His Life To Christ by paxonel(m): 2:22pm On Apr 07 |
FxMasterz:who told you that? Have you ever see Muslim or atheist going to church? You are still finding it difficult to define who a Christian is lies! Big lies A believer is anyone who believes in Christ. John 3:16 ...whosever believth in him should not perish. The only reason why you see anyone going to church is because they believe lordreed case could just be an exception. It's like a true Muslim attending church which is not common. But most people you see in church are Christians in Ernest, you can't dispute that . By the way, what's all the altar calls for? To catch up with one muslim or atheist who possibly is not available among a hundred Christian population in the congregation? What a hypocritic wild geese chase |
