Perfection is a concept that has fascinated humanity for centuries. From the pursuit of personal excellence to the striving for spiritual purity, the idea of perfection occupies a significant place in human thought. But when it comes to the sight of God, can anyone truly reach a state of perfection? This question has been the subject of much theological debate and contemplation, with various interpretations offered by scholars, theologians, and believers. Let's explore this topic, drawing insights from the Bible to understand what it means to be perfect in the eyes of God.

For anyone to reach state of perfection, that means he is all knowing.
But is there anyone like that, that is all knowing?
It's not possible.

For this reason Christ came to die, so that we can be made perfect before God through faith, not by our works

Cool

Ken4Christ:
Why not read other translations before you begin to exhibit your ignorance?

why not quote the translations here first to prove whether they are saying anything different from what i have said, before concluding that i exhibit ignorance.

If you do that, i will simply accept that I'm ignorant and withdraw my post.

So, this man did not keep inheritance for his children?
Anywsy, What has that one got to do with Nigeria situation?

Ok

Yes

k

Cool

Good

I want to make heaven or I'm in heaven already like this, where do you belong?

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

We have been translated into his kingdom already.
We are not going to be translated tomorrow

Yes, not all religious people are confused, otherwise prove it here

Lessonteacher:
this makes no difference, do what is right that is all, that is the whole point

Yes, to do what is right is what can make a difference we all know that.
But that is not what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about is spiritual matter.

When Moses asked the Israelites to lift up their eyes to the serpent in the wilderness he didn't ask them to do anything else

For instance
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: FOR SUCH IS HEAVEN.

Jesus did not say For such will make heaven.
He categorically said For such is heaven.

That means, if you are a Christian you are heaven itself.
It is understatement to say a Christian will make heaven, it's like saying a university student will pass Jamb.

Then many of you Christians(like those with the deeperlife ideology of making heaven) in your mind you are waiting for rapture you are trying to make heaven just like a university student is waiting for jamb result and is trying to pass Jamb, does that make sense?
You will simply wait and die working for nothing. Keep waiting!

Don't deceive yourself anymore
And stop deceiving others too
You are not a candidate for heaven, you are simply heaven itself, that's how powerful you are

Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Someone that is having the key to his house does not wait to enter his own house

Kenneth4u205:
(1) Bible verse about new earth (Revelation 21:1)

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

(2) Bible verse about the kingdom of God being within us (Luke 17:20-21)

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is inside of you .

what you are saying is true.

God's kingdom is right in us, therefore there is nothing like rapture.

I have been looking for a single scripture in the bible that suggest rapture, i can't find any.

I engaged those that believe in rapture that they should explain themselves and guess what?
They all failed to put a proper explanation

Ok

synergy85:
I have watched with disgust the alarming rate at which so called believers who are staunch members of a given church visit 'prophets' for special prayers to their 'problems' is it that they believe prayers are answered faster/better in other places, do you do it? If yes why?I believe when you call on God in ur church or u go to ur own pastor in your church.god will hear...

Going to your own pastor is the same thing, why not pray for yourself?

It seems it is Africans nature to always visiting a presumed spiritually powerful man. Eg Babalawo, Pastor, prophet, Imam

Africans are known to be diabolical in reasoning.
They always attribute their problems to spiritual origin like juju, witchcraft etc, that explains why you see them always visiting pastors and are so afraid to do their prayer themselves, peradventure God will not answer them.

Witchcraft and juju too plenty for Nigeria, e no go work

Let me observe it well

Possible causes of sudden death to anyone are :
1. Sickness or diseases
2. Accidents
3. Stress
4. Malnutrition
5.Careless and reckless living
6. Complications from drug abuse
7. Food poisoning
etc

You don't need any pray to curtail all these things but simply do the needful to avoid them.
And if you pray from now till tomorrow and are adversely affected by any of these things, there is high possibility that you will die suddenly.

No prayer is powerful enough to cheat nature

jaephoenix:
The authors of the bible aren't known. If u doubt me, ask any religious scholar or research online

ok

jaephoenix:
If u r intelligent, u'd also know the bible issa scam, and copied too. Like the Qoran

If you think the bible is a scam can you answer this question?
At what year in human history was the bible last documented ?

Daddyboy21:
They brought the Religion to us, they brought the bible to us, the same Bible which says thou shall not kill nor steal, they killed us, they stole our gold and Mineral resources, sold us to slavery. The once who brought this religion to us are not even practicing the religion their selves. Not like Muslims who are still deeply immersed and buried in Jihad. Is this thing really true because what I noticed in white men is that if the give you a pair of shoe they want to collect your legs in return, if they give you a necklace, they want your neck in return. I have worked with them for 11years now and I know them in and out. today we are serving the people who are supposed to serve us. About this Christianity, Your father did not tell you the truth cos his father did not tell him the truth. Even the original manuscript of the Bible, so many things are not included in what king James translated to English (king James version). I stopped paying tithe along time ago but give 10 percent of my salary to begers and ways are now opening like never before. How do we know the truth?

You must understand that the way Christianity was brought to Africa, that is how Christianity was brought to their countries too in Europe and elsewhere.
The difference is that, they were educated enough to verify every single information they get from the bible before believing it to be true, while Africans do little or no verification before believing.

Do we value quality education in this Africa at all?
No!

To verify means that you are intelligent.
Not verifying means that you are mumu, black monkey.

Now, look at the Nigerian population for example, do you see any white man living with us here?
We keep blaming people who really do not exist in our lives for our misfortunes

Jokerman:
Don't commonize God.

i don't know what you mean by the word commonize.
If what you mean is what is defined below, then I will tell you that you cannot restrict God

I love my world

Atheist001:
I asked five christian this question so far but they couldn't give an answer at all,they only dodge the question.
The previous Four christians I orally interviewed.
But I will share my What'sapp conversation with a Christian that has been inviting me to her church,about two weeks now.
She couldn't answer the question either.
Below is the screenshot of our conversation:

so you want to toast the Christian sister by bringing sex conversation eh?
holy goat fire
You don't want to say the toasting that is exactly on your mind you are indirectly asking religious questions abi?
Or are there no atheist sisters in ya atheist congregations

Did God form the earth within 7 days as reported in the book of Genesis?
Ultimately, the age of the earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years.

2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

From this scripture, it is obvious that a day isn't 24 hours with God.

So if Genesis is puting it that creation lasted just 7 days, the counting might just be from God's perspective and not the usual 7 days period known by humans.

With this, it is obvious that the book of Genesis never debunked the possibility of the 4.5 billion years estimate, hence the possibility of Cosmic, Geological and Evolutionary processes as the major processes of creation.

So, how was the earth formed over the billions of years?
Now, here is a reasonable explanation that is based on scientce discoveries which perhaps may be true but was never debunked in the bible.,
Like every other stars in the universe, the sun must have exerted gravitational pull to every objects including giant asteriods.
These large asteroids must have had explosive impacts on the sun under the sun gravity with great energy that must have spilled parts of the sun to give birth to 9 baby stars around the sun.
These 9 baby stars of which the earth was one of them, eventually developed their various gravities that attracts their own asteriods too, and there were explosive impacts on these baby stars that give birth to their moons.
And that the gravities exerted by these 9 baby stars around the sun began to absorb asteriods within their orbits thereby preventing further impacts of asteriods on the sun
That these absorption or impacts on these baby stars over the years must have resulted to rocks covering the baby stars which were gradually weathered by a thermal process of the baby stars to form mantle around the baby stars. This became what is known as the solar system.
That the earth for example, the baby star that formed the earth eventually became the core that is made of iron and nickel which was surrounded by mantle due to impacts, while subsequent impacts of asteriods on the mantle eventually formed a dusty earth crust.
That explosive asteroids on the dusty earth crust must have generated gases which enveloped the earth as the atmosphere and a large amount of these atmospheric gases must have condensed to form water which constitute the oceans and rivers with a continuous cycle of evaporation, condensation and precipitation as ditated by temperature change due to the position of the earth in relation to the sun.
And that the existence of water and moisture on weathered surfaces eventually give rise to microbes and microphytes as primitive forms of life.

You can see now that these whole process was well coordinated intelligently to achieve a purpose, and not just random events by chance.

Now, does the bible needed to explain creation this way?
I think it was not necessary, because humans were much more primitive in understanding as at the time the book of genesis was written. Hence, the book of Genesis was written the way it was written for a lay man to understand.

The vigorous exercise called prayer must have shifted her gall bladder to her lungs.

A thread for the most deceptive organization in the history of Christianity.
No one is saying anything good about the organization but only their members themselves

TimeManager:
Ignorant questions. Follow the stakeholders,

you that followed the stakeholders you can't say whether Tinubu has rehabilitate one refinery or not, yet you are talking

don't let internet mob put dust inside your head.

what about mainstream news like channels, NTA and even vanguard news paper, they also put dust inside your head too?
Do you think Nigerians are stupid?

-Kiss the truth!

you kiss the conflicting headlines below pertaining to port Harcourt refinery.
One said end of March,
The other said April
And another one is saying September.

These are main stream news headlines and not the internet.

My friend, go and kiss Tinubu ass
The man is dumb, he has nothing to offer but lies and deception

TimeManager:
If a man that is rehabilitating the refineries is a curse, how about the people under whose administration our refineries were collapsed, are they blessings to us? Do you think you can continue to run a false economy for so long and won't come back to punish you?

-Kiss the truth!

which of the refinery has he rehabilitated?
Kaduna, Warri or Port Harcourt, which one?

And why is Dangote importing crude oil to refine?

And explain why the cost of petroleum products are still increasing inspite that Dangote refinery has started refining some months ago
