What does it mean to serve God?

Tayorshd87:
This question keep popping up in my heart daily about what the western religion teaches us about God created everything on earth 🤔

How do u want to tell me he created witches and wizards to disturb us d living .
He created accident to kill us.
Created wild animal to eat us if we mistakenly fall in their trap , also created some animals to feed on some animals and also hyena to eat another animal alive and yet u believe God created the habitat 🤔

Look at this below then u Wil understand me better

Of truly God created them too like us then he must be a WICKED God no wonder the scientist doesn't really believe in the existence of God instead they use the word NATURE.

NOTE: I believe God existed but is not God that created everything the way XTIAN and Islam taught us that's my point .

What's your take on this 🤔

The account of creation by Christianity is explanation for lay man to understand. In the real sense it goes far beyond that.

Everything you see were intelligently created by God who naturally created things through a gradual and long process.

Think of it this way.
If God was to explain to Adam and Eve, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob how he created things through a long natural selection, how will they understand with their primitive minds being that they were primitive men lacking educational understanding ?
Hence, the simple account of creation you see in the bible which summerizes the whole process for a layman to understand

MaxInDHouse:
I still dey gbadun unah conversation so don't ask me any question for now!

Thank God you are not picking one to be correct over the other without critical objective analysis of the two like this mumu Westerhoffe and his religious types will do.

And what you have just done by not being biased is also not typical of you Jw, what happened?

MaxInDHouse:
Peter made it clear in that same scripture churchgoers often quote:


But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. ‭2 Peter 3:5-7 NIV‬



What happened back then is to repeat itself and it's going to be judgment and destruction of the UNGODLY.


I don't know what heaven did so that God will now burn it o but regarding the earth this are God's own promises:



‭
The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” Genesis 8:21-22 NIV‬

He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever. ‭Psalms 78:69 NIV‬

He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. ‭Psalms 104:5 NIV‬


Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures. ‭Psalms 119:90 NIV‬


Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. ‭Ecclesiastes 1:4 NIV‬

let's even look at it if the bible contradicts itself

Ecclesiastes 1:4 is saying....BUT THE EARTH ABIDED FOREVER.

And

2 Peter 3:10 is saying ....THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN, WILL BE BURNED

Do you consider these two scriptures contradicting themselves?

TheWatch24:
I feel you on this the debate about the new earth gets intense and honestly it’s kinda wild how some folks twist what scripture says, Psalm 101:7 says, “No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.” That verse alone shows how serious God is about truth and it’s clear He doesn’t mess around with deception, the new earth described in Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, and Revelation 21 isn’t this broken, sin-filled world we’re living in now it’s something way beyond that something peaceful and fully restored, anyone saying otherwise isn’t just confused they’re straight-up misrepresenting God’s Word.

I get it though diving into these deep truths can feel overwhelming especially when people are pushing ideas that don’t line up with scripture, I’ve been in those moments where I felt lost or unsure about what to believe and honestly it made me want to dig deeper into prayer and scripture just to stay grounded but let’s be real staying consistent with prayer isn’t always easy life gets loud, distractions pile up and sometimes it feels like you don’t even know where to start. So I made TheWatch it’s a free web-based tool (on any device, no downloads needed), it’s all about helping you reconnect with God’s truth through guided prayer times based on biblical routines modeled after how Jesus and Paul stayed aligned with God’s purpose, God’s not letting confusion win He’s already moving to bring clarity and understanding our way, keep standing firm in His Word because His truth will always expose lies.

“The sum of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous rules endures forever.”
—Psalm 119:160

Praying for your wisdom and discernment 🤲❤️

Simple questions for you, please answer TRUE OR FALSE for each

1. The book Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve sinned that's why people die today. But Christ came and restore back that eternal life. This is the whole summary of the bible, TRUE OR FALSE?

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

2. That the way to this eternal life is FAITH. That is our believe in Christ.
But before Christ came to die, there were other Faiths on earth. For instance, there was Judaism which was the Faith God covenanted with Abraham TRUE OR FALSE?

Hebrews 11:2 For by it(Faith) the elders(referring to elders of Jews) obtained a good report.(including Abraham)

3. That every tribes and kingdoms on earth have their own Faiths. For instance, most tribes or kingdoms in the old testament days practiced idolatry except the kingdom of Israel who recognized the almighty God because of the covenant Abraham their forefather had with God TRUE OR FALSE?


4. And that there were consistent battle among kingdoms. Since these kingdoms had their individual Faiths, these battles were seen by God as battle of Faiths(Spiritual battle) TRUE OR FALSE?

Daniel 2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

4. That an everlasting Faith will be set up by God as prophesied by Daniel TRUE OR FALSE?

Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

5. That the everlasting faith set up by God which was prophesied by Daniel is Christianity (the new covenant) which is the Christian faith and which is the faith that restore the eternal life that Adam and Eve lost out of disobedience from the beginning. Meaning, the everlasting kingdom implies everlasting life
TRUE OR FALSE?

Luke 1:33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob(the Jewish tribe) for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

The Jewish tribe is found on this earth right?

Please think

If you have anything contrary to any of these facts, please back it up with scriptures.

THE POINT OF THESE WHOLE THING IS THAT, LOVE WHAT GOD HAS CREATED.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE EARTH.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE EARTH.
THE PROBLEM IS HUMANS

Westerhoffe:
[b]I am talking about spirituality here.

All that Enoch knew about GOD and the deepest mysteries, were they by studying or walking with GOD?
All that David, Samuel, Moses, Aaron, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, John (of the Revelation), the Apostles, and Paul, were they all by studying or walking with GOD?

There is a different aspect of gaining knowledge by studying,

All these people you mentioned studied at some point.

but knowing the deepest mysteries of the heavens can not be known by studying!

Lies!

1 Corinthians 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

First of all, you must understand that if you don't study to have knowledge, you cannot make wealth enough to do charity.
And if you cannot make wealth enough to do charity, your spiritual mysteries are nothing

Because if the person you want to learn from has never known them, how will you or them find it out?

it's the same thing I'm saying, The teacher must know first

I am not talking about the physical here.

Anything spiritual you have to say, must have evidence rooted in the physical, or it is nothing.

The new heaven and the new earth are not, and never would be this current earth.

you do not have any scriptural evidence for this statement.
This kind of teachings are what ancient European missionaries came to Africa to teach. Meanwhile, today they don't believe the teaching anymore in Europe.
But on the contrary,

Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Luke17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Stop antagonizing the written truth. [/b]

you see your problem?
Anything your pastor interprete to you in church is the written truth.
You will not find time to read this bible for yourself

Westerhoffe:
The quote alone shows you're an Antichrist.

you are absolutely wrong.

The quote says acquiring knowledge is not about walking with God, it's about studying.

If you fail to study your bible properly, then you are ignorant of the bible even though you are a believer and walks with God.

I have nothing more to discuss with you.[/b]

you don't need to discuss anything.
Just keep quiet

Because the more you talk, the more you are fooling yourself

Westerhoffe:
[b]Deceptive and misleading.

why?

Walk with GOD!

I repeat, walk with GOD in the Spirit and in Truth and He will show you great and mighty things you do not know.

acquiring knowledge is not about walking with God, it's about studying.

See, you can walk with God for all you care, but if you are ignorant, you are ignorant.

This is why you JWs will always remain in the darkness far away from the truth.

I'm not JW.
I"m telling you that without Faith it is impossible to please God.
And that Adam and Eve sinned and lost eternal life, but Jesus Christ has restored back that eternal life to as many who have Faith in him.

This is not what will happen in the future, this is what has already happened

GOD revealed a deep mystery of the new heaven and the new, with the extreme radiance of the glory

which radiance of Glory?

If you don't understand your bible, humble yourself and learn and stop saying what you don't know.

Jesus Christ has resurrected, that is the radiance of Glory you need.
Just as Christ resurrected, you too will resurrect into Glory the day you die.
That is the radiance of Glory the bible is talking about.
Not any mysterious and unrealistic fictional place away from the real earth where there is real life

in it! And here you are claiming this sandy world to be the new earth.

and i often ask this simple question that non of you have ever gave a satisfactory explanation.

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 HONOR INTO IT

This is not what will happen in future this is what has already happened.

So, the question is, these kings of the earth, do they climb ladder from earth to heaven in order to bring their glory?

Think, before you answer the question

Please, don't mention me again.[/b]

Please don't teach errors again.
If you don't know, it's better you keep quiet

Westerhoffe:
Truly, with what I heard and experienced today, whoever says again that this present earth is the new earth GOD spoke of in Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, Revelation 21:1,2, that person is a liar, a deceiver, a mislead, an agent of darkness, and a satanic agent.

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
— Isaiah 65:17 (KJV)

Isaiah 66 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²² For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
²³ And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Revelation 21 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

GOD had already created the new heavens and new earth.

Do not let anyone deceive you the new earth is this present earth of sand and dust and seas.
The truth of GOD'S Word and His revelations are too glorious.

Accept the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your Saviour today.
Believe in Him and be worthy of Him.

Amen.

New heaven and new earth refers to the Christian faith according to the literal understanding of those scriptures.

So, where is the Christian faith practiced?
It is on this earth ofcourse, it is not practiced in space.
.
This earth will certainly remain forever with people practicing the Christian faith forever without end.

Over 2000 years has counted already

This kind of messages though they appear true especially to Africans. But in the real sense they are deceiving
.
Ask me why do i say so?

10 reasons not to argue with atheists:

1. They lack knowledge on religious topics
2. They are usually irrational
3. They want to say that they are all intelligent than religious people, but meanwhile, most of then are not
4. They try hard to impose their beliefs to others
5. They are never happy people because their eternal future is uncertain
6. Some of them are saddists because they cannot explain or get answers as to why religious people have faith
7. They cannot exist as atheists without religious people
8. They are not united in belief, every single one of them having their individual concepts or ideologies about life
9. They are usually depressed and lonely people not belonging to any family or congregation
10. They constitute the vast majority of racists in Europe, Asia and America who thinks that the gods in Africa must be crazy

How long will the last days last, will it last forever?

IrepChrist:
You got it all wrong. Christian leaders are the most bullied online after politicians but they have been calm and mute. You should know that they are humans with feelings too.

The point you should understand is, if any audio statement made by a pastor comes into a cyberspace, the audio statement is converted to a visual information which steaks there for anyone to have assess to, as long as possible.
Imagine a pastor in his church saying he drank tea with God and that statement has it way into cyberspace, what do you expect?
For this reason, it is expected that every pastor should first scrutinize their statements before saying them.
Because no one is out there to cyber bully anyone. It is what you say that will attract reactions.

To me, it's as if the pastors are even enjoying the cyberbullying, perhaps it is making them to be more popular, that's why they keep making all those controversial statements

UncleAyo:
I personally believe that death marks the end of conscious existence. Once the brain ceases to function, all experiences, thoughts, and awareness also come to an end. The cessation of brain activity, as observed in medical and scientific contexts, supports the conclusion that consciousness is inextricably tied to the physical brain. As such, no brain activity means no self-awareness or ability to experience anything beyond death.

The phenomenon of death is just like our state of nonexistence before birth. Before being conceived, one had no consciousness, no memory, and no self-awareness. Death is a return to that state of non-being. It is likened to a dreamless sleep or the absence of experience altogether.

There is no empirical evidence to support the existence of an afterlife, reincarnation, or any continuation of individual consciousness. Instead, life is a finite experience bound by the laws of biology and physics, so it is important you live your life to the fullest with the understanding that that is the only existence you have.

Somebody should please help me with evidence of afterlife. If possible, a video evidence that can be empirically examined.


_{Sterope (my good friend) your contribution will also be great here.}

yes, it is important that you live your life to the fullest which is one of the reasons why we are Christians..
That notwithstanding, there are also no contrary empirical or even theoretical evidence against the biblical theory that death has been defeated through Christ Jesus

1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Nonsensical Spiritual scammer

Biznesworld:
My question is, what was he preaching and doing all those while he was in full-time ministry.

He was preaching the errors the average Nigerian pastors are still preaching today, lacking understanding of scriptures

My concern is for those his church members that followed him.

All of them see like that are zombie

Ternistacle:
"Only atheists does that" But He is/was a pastor.
No rush to comment, sometimes.

He failed to understand what he was reading as a pastor, that's how he became atheist.

Simple

He criticizes bible without stating any specific verse, only atheists does that

Anyone who was born a Christian and raised from home by a Christian parents is led by the spirit of God and he is a son God.

Salvation is free to many who believes, you don't need to do anything to be led or to be a son, just believe that's all.

Your leading is determined by your faith, not by your works.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO TO SUBMIT TO GOD OR TO OBEY HIM IS TO HAVE FAITH. FOR WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.

Kayberg:
Bro, I said it before that with your lack of experience about how the spiritual warfare goes, works, and is, I have NOTHING to discuss with you.
So, keep it so, and don't bother mentioning me again because I won't reply you, because you know absolutely NOTHING about what we are discussing here.

C'mon shot up!

You don't have any spiritual experience, you want to deceive the op abi?

Spiritual scammer!

Kayberg:
With this comment of yours, bro, I need not reply you anymore at all.

Please don't, because there is nothing to reply.

It's like I'm telling you that 1+1=2 you have no choice but not to say anything otherwise.

By chronological records of the bible, There is no ministry of casting demons in Christianity anymore.

Jesus says all power has been given to you.

Our power is geared towards love and not accusing people of demons that does not exist in the real sense

Any of such demon casting practices in Christianity today, are deception.


God bless you
