spartan117:you know what you are doing when you read this scripture the way you are reading it directly? It's like you are looking through a mirror and instead of seeing your image you are see another thing enterly and you have to decode what that thing is, it's so funny ![]() Right now, i just laughing when i see you go throw this, trust me, i was there before and i was confused too it's just normal for this kind of scripture to confuse people. I told you, figurative languages are just representations like a parable. Let me show you an example of a figurative language and it interpretation Matthew 13:37 He that soweth the good seed represent the Son of man; The field represent world the good seed represent the children of the kingdom; the tares represent the children of the wicked one; Let's go back to that scripture again 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The clouds represent heaven The air also represent heaven (clouds or air, the same thing) And what is heaven representing on this earth? It represent resurrection of the dead through Christ. Luke 13:24-25 In luke 13:24, someone asked Jesus are there few that will enter heaven? In response to the question, Luke 13:25 quoted Jesus mentioning something like ......when once the master is risen So, the resurrection of Jesus Christ represent heaven Heaven also represent Christianity (because only Christians are the once to resurrect when they die, just like Jesus resurrected). "Caught up together" in that scripture what does it represent ? Caught up together represent interaction or to meet with people who has died and are resurrected What this whole thing suggest is that, when the dead are resurrected, we who are alive, who didn't die will be caught up together(meaning :we will meet with them) but this time, they will come with a new body (as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15 I pointed to you earlier. 1 Corinthians 15:38 specifically stated : But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. Now, think of this, why did the disciple find it difficult initially to recognize Jesus the first time they saw him after he resurrected? Luke 24:16 Because, he was given a new body. So, you see, there is nothing rapture about that scripture 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Rather, it is explaining resurrection of the dead through Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? This tells us that anytime we die we always come back to life as new born babies 1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. such that people who are alive will never know that, that new born baby was the same person who died, only that the old body has changed. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. In summary, the rapture doctrine did not give us the full story or something reasonable, leaving millions of Christians today in perplex |
Psalms5522:you have made a very valid point sir! This is just exactly the way it is |
Psalms5522:Exactly! The adage is very true. Have you ever been in a situation where you read a course in preparation for an exam, you read very well and you are convinced that you read the material to the last, but at end you still fail the course? ![]() It happened to me in one of those courses like that. you will think it is the lecturer that deliberately failed you ![]() But you see, I remember when i was reading the same course again as carry over, i soon discover that i was misinterpreting a lot of things thinking i was reading ![]() |
spartan117:read 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 for the full explanation of what Paul was trying to say in this scripture. He was simply explaining resurrection of the dead, not rapture. Paul used a lot of figurative languages here but the interpretation of these figurative languages point to resurrection of the dead, not rapture. You see, that's why i said in the first place that there are scriptures in the old testament that seems to indicate that the earth is flat. That is how 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 seems to indicate that it is explaining rapture. For many years i used to think it was explaining rapture until i read through 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 and saw that it was actually explaining resurrection of the dead, not rapture. Infact, 1 Corinthians 15:55 concluded by saying O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? To let you know that the key aspect here is resurrection of the dead. So, the question is where is the rapture thing coming from? Obviously, from misconception of the scripture perhaps by the ancient catholic church who propagated the rapture doctrine that we keep believing till today. Concerning the anti Christ this scripture seems to depict that the anti Christ is a spirit that gains expression through men. Don't you think?anyhow you want to see it. If you like see it that they were controlled by spirit to deny Christ, the truth is they are mere humans like me and you denying that Jesus is the Christ and that's nothing. And for us who believed that Jesus is the Christ, we were made to believe so by a spirit in us known as the holy spirit. |
Maximus69:that one is your own conception, you can't get people to believe this trash ![]() I will advice you to simply discard it and focus on what scriptures says about the Antichrist |
spartan117:there is no where rapture was mentioned in the bible. the second coming of Christyes, this one is scriptural. But it doesn't mean the end of the world. Now, look at this fascinating revelation. Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the KINGS OF THE EARTH do bring their glory and honour into it. One may ask, how does the king of the earth do bring their glory into God's kingdom? Do they climb ladder to the clouds in access to God's kingdom? These are questions those who claim there will be rapture and end of this world need to answer and the anti Christ scriptural?Antichrist is anyone denying Christ by kicking against Christ and Christianity. For instance, people who persecute early Christians in the bible were antichrists. 1 John 2:22 So there is nothing new about Antichrist,they are just mere humans like me and you. |
malvisguy212:did i say I'm an atheists? |
Psalms5522:certainly, we are ignoring the human factor. We know the human factor exist, but because that inherent nature of Christians to give humans the undue reverence where it is not warranted by upholding their doctrines even when these doctrines are not scriptural, we tend to always see these false doctrines when we read scriptures and that is very dangerous to Christianity. I can tell you that there are scriptures that seems to indicate that the earth is flat, but because of human factor(assuming it wasn't proven otherwise) people will believe what i have said that the earth is flat because that is what i saw in the scripture. But unknown to them i am having a very wrong conception of that scripture. This is how a lot of doctrines we believe today in Christianity was developed many years ago. Examples of these kinda doctrines are rapture, end time, mark of the beast, end of the world. Now, you see the effect of this kind of beliefs to a pastor like pastor Chris oyakhilome? The belief of these fictious doctrines have made him look like a very confused person today going by his recent opinion about 5G technology and covid-19 |
Ignorance of Christians which arises from pre -conceived man made doctrines. For instance, man made doctrines which dominated among Christians that the earth was flat in shape was proven wrong, as a result many Christians became atheists. Other baseless man made doctrines like rapture, end time, Antichrist, Armageddon, mark of the beast or 666 etc which promote fear among Christians and impair their minds to be productively engaged in this world are the major causes of the rise of atheism this modern day. The question is, when will Christians start getting it right? |
Another conspiracy theory against the moon loading.... |
donnie:ok, o! I will remind you when the time comes. That time we will know who truly dey Alice in wonderland ![]() |
petra1:I know this ex-nollywood actor, he now works with one pastor Chris okafor of liberation church, very useless drama church. Nigerians when una won get sense? ![]() |
donnie:my guy get sense! The video is part of the conspiracy theory |
Bossontop:why you dey sneeze for ya abeg go far Jo! Before you come spread contagious convid catarrhagium bulgaricus for ya |
Timi141:heaven my foot! These pastors and their church members are not different from Nigerian politicians. They want to sell crude oil they don't want to fix refinery, they want to go to heaven they don't want to educate people the truth so that they will know to fight corona virus. How can people fight corona virus when they already have it at the back of their mind that it is an off-shot of 5G technology aimed at controlling humans to bow to one stupid fictious Antichrist who doesn't exist in the first place? What kinda information is that from a suppose man of God who is suppose to be an elderly stateman? It's so unfortunate |
nosiebaba:I always say this, time will tell. Just give this whole thing a period of the next one year whether the conspiracy theory will still remain trendy the way pastor Chris out of fear of the unknown is putting it today. After one year pastor Chris will say was i the one saying all these rubbish one year ago? ![]() |
Ideyontop:OK, can you say what Bill gate is try to achieve by sponsoring this? Why will a man put billions into this project that he is doing, for what? ![]() |
Nothing is real. All of you and your pastor are confused |
Ice up |
Iceflox:they are the ones giving you people the false impression that because God exist there must be miracles to show that he truly exist. |
Shelumiel:you are very full of job at home ![]() |
Today, we read about miracles in the bible, we call upon God to replicate the miracle we see saying he is God of yesterday, today and forever. It doesn't work that way ![]() |
Why are pastors not performing miracles, signs and wonders for covid-19 patients? The bible is very discrete and specific to it timing, the bible established that there is time for everything. (Ecclesiastes 3) By extension there was time God will intervene in the affairs of mankind using miracles, signs and wonders,that was mainly the old covenant era Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,(referring to the Jews : beneficiaries of the old covenant)thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! So, it didn't take long for the old covenant to end. All the mighty miracles, signs and wonders of God fighting the Israelites battle against the Philistines, Ammorites, Jebusites, the supernatural provision of manner from heaven and water from rocks in the wilderness, the division of the red sea to form a clear pathway for the Israelites to walk through, all ended at the establishment of the new covenant through Christ. The few miracles, signs and wonders that was recorded after Jesus died and resurrected in the book of Act of the Apostles and Romans where aimed at convincing people at that time that Christianity through Jesus Christ was part of God's agenda on earth. Those miracles, signs and wonders have achieved it purpose: Today, Christianity has been propagated to most countries around the world, therefore there are no need for these miracles, signs and wonders any longer, how long shall God continue to gather his people as a chick gathering her hen? So, you can now understand why pastors who claimed to have performed miracles, signs and wonders on television, healing people in their churches and their crusades organized internationally became trendy in all countries of the world, but the same pastors are running away from covid-19 today. Why? Because those miracles performed by these pastors never existed in the first place, it is either they arranged stage performances to deceive people or some people who were actually healed God allowed it so for them to be convinced of Christianity specifically . Because, certainly, For any other reason(including covid-19 and other kind of healing miracles) which are other than convincing people of Christianity, signs and wonders were all terminated at the on-set of the new covenant and many Christians especially in a third world country like Nigeria will never perceive that therefore they are being terribly deceived. |
IamMichael:in either case they still have beliefs and can be indoctrinated to believe something yes or no? |
Johnchyz:and you think God will answer your pray mere because two or three have gathered? You must be joking, you don't know the God you are serving. If the two or three pray amiss without putting the will or God concerning the situation in consideration they are on their own. For instance, if they pray that God should heal people of covid-19 and at the other hand, what God want is medical intervention and not supernatural healing, then they have prayed amiss and no amount of gathering will cause God to answer that kinda useless prayer |
Basically, all religious people including atheists themselves have been indoctrinated. No one alive has escaped being indoctrinated, no one is monopoly of knowledge. |
I think say daddy freeze nor dey ![]() Time will tell, just give it another one year from now and everyone will know that all what pastor Chris is saying are hoax ![]() Mumu Nigerians were nor get sense they follow pastor mouth ![]() |
