Where Osawaru Igbinedion?

FayaBall:
Apparently, you are intolerant of opposition,

What do you mean by opposition is it political party?
there is no opposition!
We are all Christians belonging to one faith but with different understanding.

There is room to learn, we are all learning.
But let it just be that what we are learning is the truth

clearly it means you know that you are wrong but you don't want anybody to tell you so.

I barred the fellow from quoting me incase you know him, because he has not been reasonable in his argument.

Meanwhile, the it is written "were" which you explained that they stopped and ceased ("siezed to be these things".)

no!

It says such were some of you, but ye were washed.
It didn't say but ye have stopped doing those things.

And so, how can you say even though they might be committing these sins God is not counting the sins anymore, when even Jesus in Revelations shows that He is counting sins in saying

If Jesus count sins in the book of revelation, surely it is not that of believers. Or do you want to prove otherwise by reading out the scripture.
One thing i know is, the bible cannot contradict itself.

Or may be you should start distinguish between the two, who is a believer
And who is an unbeliever?

"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee",.. and ended "else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent/Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds."

Clear proof that God is counting and recording.

these are clearly spiritual records, not mere physical adultery

The literal interpretation thereof means the Christian believed in Christ, at the same time he is commiting adultery with another religion or some sort of idolatry.
You can't serve two masters at a time

And truly we can all count Abraham's sins

keep doing the counting.

But just know that it is God that judges, not you.
You certainly have the right to judge anyone that sin against you. But let God himself judge those who sin him, not you doing the judgement for him

Abraham over over gap us,

if you believe Abraham over gap you, me I can't reason that low.

My bible tells me that the least person in God's kingdom is greater than Abraham.

True true don't deceive yourself.

my guy, correct yourself here.

The only thing that saves you is Christ and nothing more.
Except you want to start worship your righteousness in place of Christ.

You can't serve two masters at a time

chatinent:
Christians often point to David as a man after God's own heart and the Bible as a source of objective morality. However, passages like 1 Samuel 18:25-27 feature God's chosen king collecting the severed body parts of 200 dead enemies just to pay a dowry. Not just severed parts, David mutilated and took their joysticks to the king as dowry.

How do you reconcile a holy God favoring a leader who engages in this kind of graphic warfare and humiliation?

What do you mean !

Have you not read in the same bible that God created man?
What makes you think that the same God does not have the right to destroy what he created at his will and at any given time irrespective of anything ?

Yes

To respond to that fellow up there, and for the benefit of others listening, not for his benefit
He quoted without understanding it

1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Then he ignored the part that says


1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Meaning, before Paul converted these people into Christianity, before God (because it is God that judges, not humans) they were fornicators,idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind.
But after Paul had preached to them and they accepted Christ (ie accept to join Christianity) , from that moment, they siezed to be these things before God. That's why "Paul said such were some of you" using the past tense WERE

Meaning, even though they might be commiting these sins God is not counting the sins anymore.

Another scripture says Abraham believed God it was counted to him for righteousness.

Yet Abraham was also a terrible sinner like every other human

Cool

You don't beat your wife but you toil on people's intelligence by telling them that the cause of their problem are witches and wizards who really do not exist.

Sin is sin, what's the difference?

Do you think Governor Adeleke's worship moment shows another side of his personality?

There is nothing new about a Christian expressing himself

Godspowerpro:
Hopefully this testimony melts your heart

If I look at my background, I’m not supposed to be where I am today, but I know practically that I encountered God and that God changed my life. It is not guesswork or assumption, evidently, it is God who changed my life therefore I give glory to showcase God

you are not getting what I'm saying
God changing people's lives is something that can happen and it is happening to many people worldwide including unbelievers, it is nothing new.

It is not a testimony.
There is no miracle there.

What is call testimony or miracle is when God raise the dead, heal the sick, Turn water into wine, Part the red sea into two, etc

Non of these things has ever been testified in churches today.

Covid 19 came and devour people, the same pastors ran into their houses.

So where is the power?

Reeceken:
Only Catholic Church do this, Pentecostal don't.

No,
All churches are guilty.

Catholic churches are even trying to educate people, but Pentecostal churches are not trying at all.

EDUECO:
Thanksgiving is an avenue to generate funds to churches.

Exactly!

But they are not playing their role institution to the society

Godspowerpro:
‭Numbers 23:23 KJV‬
[23] Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, Neither is there any divination against Israel: According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

https://www.nairaland.com/8707811/100-some-miracles-deeds-jesus

People are testifying of deliverance,
Carry on

Only people who had opportunities of going to school or lucky to have inheritance or had learn a particular handwork sometime ago, are the ones testifying in that church.

By the time they sell one property and use the money to buy a job or contract in NNPC, they will never mention all that in their testimony o.
They will come to church and give people the impression that it is God of Oyedepo that gave them a miracle job.

No wahalla,

Be aware of who you are as a Christian

When we say someone is saved what does it implies?
It implies that the person was born into a Christian home or he was converted into Christianity from whatever religion he had practiced previously before he joined Christianity.
The Christian Faith is the basis of salvation in the context of the bible.

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Once you are into this Christian Faith irrespective of the church you attend, it is very difficult to convert you away from the Faith so that you go practice other religions, hence once saved is always saved.

Now, don't bring the issue of sin or righteous living here, because it doesn't apply

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

Because they want every slightest opportunity to feed their pastor who is not working for money and is not paying tax.

A very dysfunctional society

ebubeson:
One day you will leave this world.

No!

1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

No Christian has ever leave this world and will never leave this world

Godspowerpro:
Small pikin dey worry you.

This is how babalowos and juju priests respond when you doubt their powers .
Very powerless and clueless people

Every family has its baggage history.

so tell your pastors not to take advantage of this fact to exploit people

GOD help us in Jesus name

Amen!

Op, if you are CHURCH OF CHRIST , you are scam too

Lies!

There are no curses of life to break.

If your parents didn't send you to school or you didn't inherit any landed properties from them and you are struggling financially, it is not a curse

Don't mind these pastors.

By chance, these things do occur, especially in a society like Nigeria

I'm aware that there was a time in this Nigeria when previous first ladies had sponsored family planning awareness programs.
The APC administration has abandoned the idea of family planning and is now looking for people to do charity in order to control their inadequacies

Fellow Christians!
Don't allow yourselves to be deceived by today pastors.
Old testament were tithing was practiced was never Christianity.
Also, There was nothing like tithing in the Christianity that was practiced in the new testament

Wintch kind question be dat?
You dey see pikins you still dey ask he never marry her?

TheMadame:
Where exactly is the location of heaven and where exactly is the location of hell?
I want us to think very deeply on these questions. Reading the Holy books there are various instances of holy men and angels descending and ascending from and up to heaven. The question is : Where is heaven? Is it in the sky where airplanes have reached or is it in outer space where the recent space ship ArtemisII recently orbited?

The second question is where exactly is hell where it is claimed the devil and his rebellious followers dwell? Is it also near the heavens or deep under the ground?

The religious books tell us that when we do good,our reward is heaven and those who do evil,their reward is in hell. Where are these places located? Are they spiritual places that cannot be seen by human eyes or are they places that can only be seen and located by the dead ones?

I've been saying this, that heaven or earth is located in our minds. It is not located anywhere else

A serious nation just crashed out of the world cup and what did they do?
They recruit a new coach immediately and start preparing for another world cup that will come in the next four years
But Nigeria failed to qualify for the world cup more than Nine months ago, yet no sign of preparation for the future whatsoever till now

How does this colourful ceremony help Nigeria economy?

MANABBQGRILLS, come and defend your darling fada

Which one come be new year again for inside July?

Lies!
There is no such thing as marine spirit.
It is all a primitive sham.
A traditional myth of the ancient African culture.
A fictional story like the ones they used to tell us about a tortoise flying among the birds to attend a feast in the sky.

We all believed that these things were true.

Scriptures says and God created them male and female.
Why will a woman want to limit herself before a a man and remain in subjugation?

Dtruthspeaker:
I don't understand what you mean by "No". The question is clearly not a yes and no answer.

Secondly, Christ came from the spirit realm and told us that everything that happens on earth first happens in the spirit realm.

But no wahala, i know all these are your delus and wishes

I also know that the gospel you preach are your delus and wishes. So can you stay on your own and stop quoting me or asking me questions you know you don't need the answers
