Where Bulali picture?
He runs the most ponzi government and he is living at LARGE

All these measures are just waste of time.

Teach the child to be responsible that's all

Ok

Yes

The world is celebrating that, that thing called death has been defeated.

1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory

But what if Christ truly did not come to die and resurrect?
Then, there wouldn't be any celebration .

Therefore, the celebration on it's own, is an evidence, a proof that God truly exist.

HAPPY EASTER!

I Ve done alot trying to provide solution,I have been to hospital,did MRI scan, the results say I don't have any problem. If you are in my shoe You would know better. I Ve done all things within my reach to be ok yet it seems the situation is getting worse

in that case, you will need to fly yourself to a country that can provide a better medical service other than what is obtainable here.

This does not require Faith

Ken4Christ:
History has no record, yet history revolves around Jesus.

Exactly!
We have read about the Persian Empire that rises and ruled the world after the Babylonian Empire, followed by the Roman Empire. All these historical records corresponds with the time recorded in the bible when Daniel prophesied about the coming of Jesus Christ.

There is no date without Jesus. Though, there are different forms of dating, that of Jesus is the superior one.

when you say that of Jesus is superior, i don't get it

Health360:
so he don't actually care about what we are passing through.

when God created man from the beginning, he gave him simple instruction.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth...

You aren't the only one passing through problem. Infact, that instruction from God on it own, is a problem.

By default of you being created, you were suppose to think out solutions to problems and not complaining that God do not care

Duke007:
Yes, happy Good Friday to my christian brothers and sisters. Biblical records shows that Jesus, the son of Mary, was crucified and died on the cross at Golgotha. Apart from biblical evidence, is there any historical account of the event. Was Jesus really crucified and died on the cross?

This kind of a thing isn't history but religion. That's why the only historical evidence is a record from a religious book, not history book

Doguwa is the Majority Leader of The House Of Representatives

Bola Tinubu Has Paid his dues as Far as political investment is concerned in APC

People like me and most of the members in the APC rep Caucus have taken advantage of his generosity and electoral support

He is one Nigeria whose name is synonymous to APC

We look at him as a major stakeholder in APC

Helping Tinubu Become President Is Like A Civic Responsibility To Rep Members.

Our position on Tinubu is the popular position in Nigeria

He is medically and physically fit to be the president of this country

There are some aspirants in the APC presidential race that have lost elections even in their wards

a thief paid his due in 2014 and stole with Bullion van in 2018,how then has he paid his due?

Na Buhari cause am!

May their Soul RIP

Is his eye glass from God?

It depend on the extent of the abuse.
If it is domestic violence omo, find your way out o.
God hates divorce,but he hates you loosing your life in an abusive marriage more than divorce

Ken4Christ:
The sinner does not need repentance because his nature is sin. What is he repenting from. He does not even have the grace to live right. What the unbeliever need is remission of sin. That is the removal of the sin nature.

When Apostle Paul gave the steps required for salvation, he did not include the confession of sins. He said:

Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, and SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Paul did not mention confession of sins because they have been forgiven. It was inherited from Adam.

Yes, we are saved by grace and not by works. But after you are saved, God expects us to do good works and live right.

He knows we will still make mistakes because we are still living in our sinful flesh. So, he made provisions for our mistakes by making the blood of Jesus available for our continuous cleansing. In addition, he gave us Jesus as our defense lawyer when the enemy tries to accuse us before God. - 1st John 2:1

you are absolutely right here

Under what condition can a believer miss heaven?

1. When he willingly chose to give up the faith.

There are some believers who say they are tired of the Christian race and decide to give up and either stay at home or even worship idols. This is why the writer of Hebrews wrote:

Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEADFAST UNTO THE END.

In another place, he wrote that it is impossible to restore some of them back to faith. Especially those one who meet the conditions he listed;

Hebrews 6:4-6
4 For it is impossible for those WHO WERE ONCE ENLIGHTENED, and HAVE TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT, and were MADE PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST,

5 And have TASTED THE GOOD WORD OF GOD, and the POWERS OF THE WORLD TO COME,

6 IF THEY SHALL FALL AWAY, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

So, it is possible for a believer to fall away.

yes, it is possible for a believer to fall away. But that will only happen if he stops believing or if he looses his faith in Christ

2. When you live under the control of flesh without repentance. That is, you are living perpetually in sin though you still attend church and even hold leadership position. You can even be a Pastor but you are living in sin without restrain.

this your number 2 contradicts all the truth you have said in your number 1, and there are no scriptures to support it, that's all I've been saying

Out Loud Jesus said;

Matthew 7:22-23
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [/,quote] The "many" Jesus was talking about here were never Christians and were never saved until Jesus was crucified. Therefore this statement of Jesus does not apply to today Christians who are saved
[quote]This is why Apostle Paul wrote;

1st Corinthians 9:27 But I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY

No, don't get it wrong!

You yourself you already agreed and posted it here that a believer can loose his salvation on the condition that he chose to give up the faith.
Incase you don't know, to have Faith simply means to belong to a religion, in this case to belong to Christianity.
The only way you can belong to the Christian religion is to believe in Christ, of which that was what the saint did.

Their were instances where some unbelievers from other religions like Judaism and idolatry worship of those days, will pretend to be among the saints and come to deceive them that, that Jesus who was crucified was never the Christ that the Jews were expecting, and many of the believers fell to that lie and became CAST AWAY, that's why Paul made that statement .
Meaning: ...less that by any means when I have preached Jesus Christ to others, I MYSELF SHOULD BE DECEIVED BY UNBELIEVERS THAT, THAT JESUS THAT WAS CRUCIFIED IS NOT THE CHRIST.

so, the word CAST WAY there isn't for sin, but for unbelief

Ken4Christ:
And I also said it can wash your present sin on the ground that you ask for forgiveness.

The sins he past over that didn't require you to ask for forgiveness are the sins you committed before you got saved.

So his blood is still available for cleansing but you must ask constantly for mercy and repent of every known sin.

What is the contradiction there? Who brainwashed you not to understand simple truth?

So, I can go on to fornicate and he will wash me even if I don't repent of it.

Just listen to yourself.

ok, this is my stand on repentance.
I strongly believe that everyone should repent not just only Christians.

Sin is sin, whether you commit it ignorantly or knowingly, ignorance is not an excuse.

So, all the scriptures you previously quoted on repentance of believers are valid.
But non of those scriptures clearly stated that if a believer don't repent he has lost his salvation.

So why then do we need to repent?
We need repentance to make life worthwhile for us hear on this earth
For instance, when a Christian commits a sin like adultery, there are consequences or punishment for it according to the law.
In the Jewish biblical societies anyone caught may be stoned to death.

But If a Christian or believer dies as a result of an such sin, that has absolutely nothing to do with his salvation because, salvation is a free gift from God to as many who believed in Jesus Christ.

You know what it means to obtain a free gift?
Its like take it, you are not to pay anything in return either by means of your works which is keeping the law.

Now, you people coming out today telling Christians that unless they repent they are not entitled to salvation, who are you to judge anyone in that order, are you God?

You can ask Christians to repent, it is very recommended of you, but don't put the condition of salvation to it, it is very wrong when you do that.

For unbelievers, whether they repent or not they are not saved, why?
Because

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

So, when it comes to salvation, it is faith that matters, not your works or how much you can repent.
The fact is, everyone commit sin no matter how hard they try to repent, so what's the point killing yourself?
You can only try your best to live right which is very good, but you can't live a total sin free life, it's not possible.

Yet if you commit just one little sin you have break all the laws, why not then put your total trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation rather than depending on your works that you can't even keep?

cescky:
Shut up

This is the problem with Africa.. People with your brain don't believe respect is reciprocal..

Your daddy is older than dangote so go and tell dangote to be dobale for him. Empty entities that's why Africa is backwards no respect for rules and regulations, he works for an organization which has rules... I know most of you orangutans will disagree... Well the nexr buharis are waiting for your children, you deserve it

so, calling them goat generally for doing something wrong to you is not religious intolerance?
Are there not better ways to address the issue than to call them goats?

Wetin that una pastor leke leke dey preach una sef, he dey teach una to insult people indiscriminately?

Make i slapp that mucor out of your smelly brain now.

Monkey!

Ken4Christ:
There is correlation...

whaaaat?

Are you kidding me?

You made a statement that The death of Jesus only washed the sins you committed ignorantly before you got born again

And you quoted Romans 5:25 in support of this your statement

Romans 5:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of GOD.

And i asked you simple question, does this scripture you quoted correlate with that your statement?

Or is there any scripture in the bible that outrightly stated that the death of Jesus only wash the sins you committed ignorantly before you got born again?

Where in the bible?

Ken4Christ:
It is not what I think. It is what the scripture teaches. The wages of sin is death. The death of Jesus only washed the sins you committed ignorantly before you got born again. The scripture says;

Romans 5:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of GOD.

there is no correlation between what you are saying with the scripture you quoted.
You say the death of Jesus only wash away sin you committed ignorantly before you were born, but the scripture is saying something else.
It is saying Jesus was sent forth to be a propitiation through faith : meaning, we are saved through faith.
How does this mean that only ignorant sins were washed, where did you get that doctrine from?
Certainly not the bible

Contrary to what you are trying to explain that sins are not forgive until a Christian repent

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

He didn't wait for us to repent.

This boy nor get respect o!

He forgot that some of these pastors may be over 70 years old

OsilaGama:

What If We All Die..
And We Realise There is No Life After Earth

it does not change anything.
What if it is true that there is life after death, it still does not change anything.

So, at this point who looses?
It is the one that does not believe. Because if he finds out that there is life after death afterall, he will regrate not believing

Ken4Christ:
Don't Saints commit sin? As long as we are in the flesh, we make errors from time to time. If any saints sin and didn't repent before the rapture, he will be left behind.

The book of Revelation, chapter 7 reveals saints who passed through the great tribulation. Read from verse 9 till the end.

and you think saints committing sin is enough for them to miss rapture assuming there will be any such thing?

If that is the case, why was Jesus Christ crucified in the first place?

MANABBQGRILLS come and see your darling o

Yes

ENGINEERG:
This always bother me, our God is a loving God , is our father, and he knows the best thing that we want. He can't want us to suffer.

But must people suffer before their prayers is answered?
Or its the country and environment that we live that determine most answers to prayers.

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn

There is no amount of prayer that can change this rule, so God shouldn't be blamed for anyone's misfortune

Ammishaddai:
That's another rebranded word for atheism . Some may call it progressive Christianity...or scientology. But all still fall under the broad banner of atheism

what makes someone a Christian?

Ammishaddai:
How do you atheist reason ? Have you forgotten that those who created those things were mostly religious people...? Mtchwww...Stalin and Mao were atheist but we saw how they created death in their countries

the op isn't and atheist but a Christian realist

Yes

All human inventions you ever see, were once exist in the mind of the inventor as an idea.
In order words, the inventor thought of these things in his mind as an idea, before these things came to be.
The computer design, the phone design, the car model, the aeroplane, the structural design, the bridge, etc, were once existed in the the mind of the inventor and they are done independent of God

So it is with religion.
Religion or Faith only exist in the mind and nothing more.

But in a bid to invent that religion or faith that exist in the mind and make it real, is what you see people do by building cathedrals
praying, fasting and speaking in tongues,
Performing miracles,
Giving arms to the poor,
postulating doctrines like:
women must tye their hair
or put on hijab
they should not put on trousers
or speak in congregations,
Going to church often or routine worship activities.
Preaching brainwashing semons and engulfing wealth at the expense of gullible people,
Performing rituals like spilling the blood of animals,
incantations
embarking on Jihad and pilgrims,
Killing,maiming and discriminating against infidels etc

All these things are products of Faith in the mind, and they are done independent of God

OLAADEGBU:
Since the word "Rapture" cannot be found in the authorised version, does that mean there is nothing like rapture taking place?

The word rapture isn't found in the bible and it is also a noun given to a fictional event also not found anywhere in the bible.

The idea of such fictional event which over time has become a key doctrine and belief in Christianity today, was an invention of the ancient Greek interpretation of scriptures and was not based on reality.
That's why it is important that you have to read the whole chapter of any scripture first, and have a first hand understanding of the whole chapter, before picking a single verse to make doctrine out of it.

1 these 4:17 is a single verse.

This doctrine has caused many Christians today not to be realistic living their lives,and many have refused to be part of the control process in anticipation of rapture which in the real sense, there was no such promise in the bible.

And you know, when you are not realistic in living your life you will think that life happens to you predestinely, but meanwhile in reality there is free-will.
