Hmmmmmmmmm, well this is a sensitive one!

The title "FATHER" can be used in many ways so let's analyse it. Firstly a man who fathered a child, secondly one who always covers your back in times of need, thirdly one who teaches you so many things in life just like his own child.
Jesus said we shouldn't call anyone "our father" on earth {Matthew 23:9} but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call our biological father "FATHER"
So what exactly does he mean?
Well he's talking about seeing someone like the person who should define righteousness for you even though what he taught you won't yield positivity anywhere!
Such teachings only ends within the person's domain he won't take it anywhere further, so their righteousness is self they only use it to keep you under them, they won't teach it elsewhere since they know it's not going to work out anything positive in any society.

Such fathers only gather gullible followers and teach them their own righteousness so each of such fathers have formed their own religion and they're rivals to one another!

But real fathers will teach you God's word that is PRACTICALLY APPLICABLE everywhere so they will not relate as teachers with anyone who doesn't teach what they know is God's standard! smiley
so, will you say spiritual fathers have anything to do with the spirit realm or they are called spiritual fathers because they established churches.

What if a woman establish church, is she then not qualified to be called spiritual mother to any man who is a member of her church?

Authority is offices where one is superior to another, spirituality is where sacred service is carried out.
So women can lead as Presidents, Governors, Senators, Reps, Chairman of local government and in so many other PUBLIC offices where men are under her AUTHORITY but whatever has to do with sacred service (worship) women must remain silent and sit behind! smiley
ok,

Have you heard about the term spiritual father?
When i say Pastor Adeboye is my spiritual father what does that implies, that pastor Adeboye is the one in charge of my spirit?

Please let me clear the air
1. January salary/ income in not the real first fruit, its good but not scriptural, if the Lord is leading you to give your first income of the year please obey, anything other than that is not in written word
2. Any money � you give cheerfully is accepted, giving under compulsion don't attract blessings.
3. No scripture that say give money � as first fruit, it was farm produce and animals and lastly first born male child which you can redeem him.
4. If I didn't give money as first fruit am not cursed
5. First fruit teaches us to put God first in everything and putting God first is not all about money
6. True meaning of first fruit, in The resurrected Christ.

Remain bless

Christianity Etc › The World Is Celebrating The Assurance Of Salvation by paxonel(op): 12:56pm On Apr 17, 2022
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!

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

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

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

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

Christianity Etc › Re: The Word "Rapture" Isn't In The Bible?! by paxonel(m): 7:26pm On Apr 07, 2022
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
Christianity Etc › Re: The Word "Rapture" Isn't In The Bible?! by paxonel(m): 9:37pm On Apr 06, 2022
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?

whaaaat?
grin grin grin
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?
Christianity Etc › Re: The Word "Rapture" Isn't In The Bible?! by paxonel(m): 8:26am On Apr 06, 2022
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.

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?
