MrPresident1:so,you have not been sleeping? You were having sleepless night the moment you heard the word rapture,what kinda life are you living like that? ![]() |
Yes |
This post is aimed at eliminating religious fears associated with ancient doctrines and creed through knowledge. The key fact that will help us to understand Daniels prophecies is that, Every Civilisations, culture and traditions comes with their religion. The Babylonian empire and traditions of that era had their idols and gods they worshipped and that was religion. One key ordinances they practiced in accordance to their idolatry beliefs was eating the left over food of the sacrifices which the King Nebucadnezar served the people. Daniel 1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. So, Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego refused to eat the portion of the kings meat or food, because they belong to a separate religion(which was Judaism) that was different from the idolatry religion of the Babylonian Empire, and because the king's meat was served in accordance to idolatry religious ordinances of the Babylonian empire, not in accordance to the Jewish God(The almighty God) Please mark the difference in religion, and also mark that there was no Christianity at that time. Having known why Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego had refused the king's meat that it was strictly because of religious concerns, it follows that the only problem God had against Nebucadnezar was for him to change his religion, Hence, Daniel prophesied doom against his reign. Now, let's look at the word REIGN. I have just said that every civilisations comes with their religion. This also implies that if a civilization reigns over the world just like the Babylonian empire did in the time of Daniel, then before God, it is the religion of the empire or the religion that comes with such civilisation that is actually what is reigning over the world. what God is looking at is religion. Hebrews 11:6 So, when God put an end to the reign of Nebucadnezar and the Babylonian empire he was actually putting an end to the reign of the Babylonian religion at that time that was reigning and dominating over other religions of the the world. So, how does this apply? let's look at other Daniel's prophecies. Daniel 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. These four great beasts in this Daniels vision represents four great religions that will rule the world before the coming of Christ(the coming of Christianity) Remember, I said there was no Christianity at that time. Now, let's go to the book of Revelation to see how this apply. Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. the beast here represent a dominant religion that all the world worshipped. Some call it mark of the beast, it's still the same thing, it's simply religion or a means of worship to another god and not the god of Christianity. A lot of doctrines and concepts have put people into fear that, this mark of the beast is one imaginary Antichrist that will come and terrorize people at end time. please, this is a lie Hear the truth about what Daniel referred to as end time Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days(end time), saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: So, end time according to Daniel was actually the time of crucifixion and resurrection of Christ after which believers were given the power to prophesy and see visions and dreams. In order words, there is no last day or end time. But having said the beast represent religions, today religions are everywhere. Therefore there are no points to be afraid of any literal beast or mark 666 or end of world which will never happen. Just live your life and be free. |
THE BIGGEST CONFUSION HERE IS THAT, MANY CHRISTIANS TODAY THINK JESUS INCLUDED THEM WHEN HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES "YOU" (In the statement YOU will hear of wars and rumours of wars) NOT MINDING THAT THE TIME OF THESE DISCIPLES JESUS WAS TALKING TO, WHO ACTUALLY HEARD AND SAW THE RUMOURS OF WARS, HAVE PASS. AND THAT THEY TODAY CHRISTIANS, ARE LIVING IN TODAY, AND THE "YOU" USED BY JESUS WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DISCIPLES OF THAT TIME, NOT YOU WHO IS LIVING NOW OR TODAY ANYMORE, OR ANY OTHER TIME IN OUR FUTURE. Only intelligent mind will understand this. |
Demon my foot |
Savoryzinny:you will get help from church simply because you show your willingness to the people, you didn't show it to God. So,the people will help you, not God. This is the reason why, people that pay tithe and offerings feels that they are getting help from God because they are paying. In the real sense, it is not God that is helping them, it is the people that are seeing what they are doing that is helping them |
Na relegation get Chelsea from next season

Alary:you have been going to church since childhood yet you didn't read from your bible that Israel is a nation practicing Judaism and not Christianity? That your pastor don cash out enough from una ignorance, that's why i said you are lost ![]() Anyway, if you care to know, isrealites aren't Christians, rather they practice Judaism. Only few of them were converted into Christianity till this day |
Preacherrr:rubbish preacher Thief |
Yo |
It takes a pastor not to be in Christianity to be qualified to collect tithe from you. If takes you to be in Judaism to be qualified to pay tithe to anyone |
My friend the temple or church is no longer the house of God, so buying and selling is allowed. Even if it is done right in the pulpit that one nor concern God again. The most important thing that concern God is to give your life to Christ, at that point you are now the temple, not any rubbish building. Una too like building… And pastors too |

Matthew 24:21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be To what time? To this time. Now,let me quickly say what Jesus meant by this time. If I say an event will occur this time, I'm simply referring to now, this time that I'm alive So it was with Jesus, he was referring to his time that he was alive which is about 2000 years ago. So, the great tribulation must have happened 2000 years ago |

Because, scriptures says there is time for everything |
Steep:can you state one example of any Christian sect practicing liberal Christianity? |
Hanibbal:the lake of fire is a figurative language which simply means to die forever and not to resurrect thereafter. It is the second death. The first death(the usual death we see people dying in real life) allows for resurrection in the spirit realm. At that point, everyone will face judgement. But after the judgement, the bible records that there will be a second death for those whose names were not found in the book, that one is die and go forever, no resurrection, nothing like fire burning people |
Hanibbal:absolutely correct sir |
Speaklove:What you have quoted does not apply here. Understanding is what matters in this world, if you don't have it, it's better you don't come out or you make yourself and the Jesus Christ you preach a joke, especially here on NL. Paul the apostle took time to study first, that was why he made great impact. That impact was based on his understanding 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Today, we have pastors who want to preach, yet they undermine the place of study. This is simply because you present no argument or exegesis other than what I wroteit seems you are new on NL right? with time you will understand what I'm trying to explain ![]() |
Speaklove:only this your statement alone can give unbelievers enough reason not to respond to your call, making your effort a futile attempt. I will advice, go and understand your bible first, concerning who is a believer or a Christian. It will save you from unnecessary stress |
Ok |
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Now, that is absolute love. But can humans commend absolute love to one another? It isn't possible. 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. So, we can only try our best. But again, where do we start loving our best and to whom should we give our love first? A popular saying states that charity begins at home, so it is quite reasonable to consider members of our immediate family first, especially our spouse and kids, then we can consider other people when there are enough to share, cos we can't do beyond ourselves, So, the first person to love is yourself. In times like this, we encourage spouses to spend quality time with each other and renew their vows of commitment to their union. Love constitute the larger solution to all human problems and it is far greater than miracles.

Absolutely correct op, I addition to the great things he did, we also read in the bible that he put forth a great prophecy in one of his parables that will last forever, This prophecy has come to pass as we see it today. Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Matthew 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. The kingdom of heaven is Christianity on earth. Christianity was the least of all faiths started like a mustard seed(Tiny seed) with just only 120 people(Act 1:15) Today after approx.2000 years, that 120 people have grown to billions of believers worldwide. The question is : How did Jesus happens to know that this trended was going to occur? (a question for the atheists and every other antagonists) Jesus is truly great whether we believe it or not. |
Inferiority complex. Why will you ban.. Goddam it!

eseelvis:lies! They have fed you lies and you believe it. There is absolutely nothing in this life than what you are seeing. Jesus confirmed that there is nothing hidden under the sun that it must not come to be revealed. I don't know why you people especially Africans choose to be diabolical in your beliefs and take it Christianity to practice, believing what is not real, by so doing you are afraid of the air you breath, the trees around, water, and sunlight, so that everything around you is now Satan. How will you possibly apply your brain and think, and bring solutions to your problem like that, with that kinda mentality? Meanwhile, Europeans used their brain, they develop space crafts that is taking them to the moon and someone is saying Satan in Africa, in this 21st century? Una nor get shame o Davido is using is God given talent and his brain and one young person like him(not even babalawo) is saying Satan. May God deliver you people from ignorance and diabolism |
alBHAGDADI:braiding hair immortal? When girls braid their hair, is that immoral too? |
alBHAGDADI:but he is not the one to institute societal values which is solely the responsibility of the parents, he is just doing his thing which is entertainment? Ofcourse, entertainment fetched him millions, not Satan |
nduprincekc:yea! But excessive drinking can be harmful, then you will begin to need the real medicine |
MufasaLion:LIES |
And, why the Davido? |
