Why always oyibo dem dey like to feature for the healing?

Good effort by him to actualize what he thinks, is the advancement of God's kingdom.
But in the real sense, all these are not necessary because. ..

John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

Christianity is people
Not buildings or Temples

Whinch kind monkey monkey thinz be dis, eww! Iya babalawo??

When terrorists held Israeli citizens hostage at Gaza in 2023,did he weep for the hostages?

Their evil actions have eventually led to the death of the Islamic leader who sympatized with the terrorists, now he is weeping

I don't know why Christians in Africa choose to be naive

benodic:
Religion will not take you back to God.

lies!
Contrary to that, scriptures says without Faith it is impossible to meet God

Love God with all your heart

This is religion!
Religion or Faith is a thing of the heart

and extend that love to all life. That is the key to true spirituality.

very correct sir!
Spirituality is Faith in your heart + love

Religion brings division

No!

Division only comes when you practice religion without love and consideration.

Division is caused by the ignorant action of the practicer, not the religion itself.

There is no religion that is false

love brings unity

That means, it can also unite religions

Good for Iran.

But he should desist from being a terror sympathizer like his predecessor.

You don't want to recognize the Israeli state, no problem!
But don't attack or support any terrorist organization to kidnapp and hold any Israeli citizen hostage.
Allow the sleeping dog lie,

See grass everywhere for the street sef.

No industries!
No employment !

Unrighteousness, canality.
They are not the same thing as the sin people commit such as lying, stealing, etc.

Unrighteousness or canality is refusal to believe.
Scriptures says without faith it is impossible to please God.

We've seen a lot of these AI spaceships on Facebook. It has been coming

Atleast real time electronic transmission should be implemented in cities where internet network are fairly stable while manuel collation should be done in villages.

Is it difficult to ask?

OctavianAC:
Yes, of course. It came from John Nelson Darby.

Thanks!

I went through this, only to discover that there is no form of higher education. Not even theology.

I wonder, how he concluded his rapture theory without any logical scrutiny?

And the whole world brought the idea and became afraid?

So ridiculous

ogascomax:
The event that we describe as Rapture is in the scripture and Jesus talked about it in Math 24 when he said two people shall be engaging in activities that one shall be taken and the other left.

I don't even know what article i can use to describe how you people misunderstand what Jesus is saying.

You know Jesus use parables a lot.
But those parables needed to be interpreted clearly for better understanding, otherwise you will think he saying A, meanwhile he is saying B

The church today read bible and have been greatly deceived by their misunderstanding.

Two people, one taken the other left, isn't rapture.
The significance there is that, two people will hear Jesus and his disciples preaching the gospel of the the kingdom. One will believe the message and become a believer, the other will reject the message and remain an unbeliever.

This thing happened 2000 years ago at the time Jesus was about to be crucified.
You people are now mistaken it for rapture and say it will happen in an unknown time in our future which is not true.

You see the extent to which people can be confused?

Let see one scripture here

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 (KJV) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

this is not rapture!
This is resurrection.

What is real is resurrection

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

this is to say the coming of the Lord is when we die. And that we will not prevent other believers who have died from resurrecting.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:

this thing is like using a metaphor to describe resurrection.
And the interpretation of all these is when we die. It will just be like Jesus has come to call us that our time has reach for judgement.
Another scripture says it is appointed once for men to die, after that the judgement.

There is nothing rapture here.
Rather, we will all face judgement when we die.
Those who believe in Christ will resurrect immediately after the judgement.
Those who don't believe will continue to die forever

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
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.

in the air?

We will be in the air?
Are we birds or what?

Please let's try to interpret these scriptures rightly.
It's so ridiculous in 2025 where people are educated, someone will read bible and cannot see beyond the letters

That event is what we are describing as rapture. We shall be Caught up and meet Jesus Christ in the cloud in the day of the rapture.

Una nor dey try

And what will now happen to the earth that God instructed mankind to replenish from the beginning?

Resurrection of the dead is for those who are dead experiencing resurrection to meet Jesus in the cloud

And you forget that Jesus consistently used the term THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN to describe heaven.

It is also very possible that, at the time these scriptures were documented mankind could not distinguish between heaven and the clouds.

But Jesus had said his kingdom(which is heaven) is in our heart.
So why are we still looking for heaven in the clouds?

You nor see how we mumu?

OctavianAC:
It is not the Catholic Church that gave rapture interpretation. There is nothing like rapture in the Catholic encyclopedia.

Ok,
Then obviously the idea of rapture came from ancient Protestants or pentecostals.
Because i can't see anywhere in the bible that correlate with the idea

ogascomax:
Didn't Paul spoke about the rapture

No!

Where in the bible??

and the resurrection of the dead.

resurrection of the dead isn't rapture

The scripture you quoted above was all about spiritual growth and maturity not your age.

so what's the difference?

Children see rapture as a real event that will happen, as if the cartoons they watch on screen are real events, adult are more realistic to know that it is not real.

Or do you have any evidence in the bible?
You know children don't ask for evidence, they believe anything adults says

To make things easy even Jesus spoke about is coming.

Jesus coming is not the same as rapture.
There is no scripture that says that

So what are you arguing about?

so you don't even know what I'm talking about yet you are arguing?

cutecommend:
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"

This scripture isn't rapture, ancient catholic church who interpreted it to be rapture were wrong.
In Europe today, people are more educated than this.

The fact still remain that here is nothing like rapture in the bible, it is all sham

It's better the society work towards educating men to discard their primitive cultural attitudes and have better mind-set towards their interaction with women, by so doing women will be free to express themselves and not being afraid or being protective or being cautious of whether they will be sexually abused or not

So, this the kind of messages they used to tell us when we were little all to put fear,lackadaisical attitude and unproductivity into people?

Thank God we've grown now we are no more child and we have understood the bible perfectly that all these are man made doctrines.

Paul says when i was a child i think like a child. But now that i have grow, i throw away childish things.

If you still do not understand that your purpose is to work hard, make money and replenish this earth in happy living, then you are still a child irrespective that you are old

Nigeria is having appromately 51% Christians in it population. When a man in Nigeria leaves the situation in his country and goes to spread the goodness of the gospel to a country that is having almost 93% percent of it population Christians, then you begin to ask questions.

Are these Nigerians think that people are that daaf?

Phones and technology has nothing to do with this.
Most of our cultural norms are unethical.

Absolute discipline requires willful ethical subjectivism of the person involved and not coperal punishment or harsh experiences.

Willful ethical subjectivism is a product of consistent communication to the child starting from the infant stage

What is Saudi Arabia, the world power of the Muslim world doing about this rubbish?

achorladey:
They don't have option to deny the power of his resurrection. Even though I know that same personality you are discussing with have repeatedly said the name Christian is a bastardized and a name their Jehovah even cursed. The problem you will have with him is that, he will still come back and tell you why they are Christians even when he said they abandoned it and take up another name given to them by Jehovah aka Rutherford

They are terribly confused not knowing where they belong

All US presidents support Israel. Trump is not the first and wont be the last

We know!

But certainly not this injustice of land grabbing.

America should not be found supporting irresponsibly because they are the most powerful nation.
Power was suppose to use, to administer justice

Why is America helping them?
They should just fight their war by themselves.

Anyway, I will see what will become of them when Donald Trump's tenure is over.

Nice expository essay
