Some hard working Christians die poor. Is it because they didn't live godly lives or because they didn't confess "I'll never be broke in my life"?

People who have passed being broke don't make such confession actually . Saying you'll never be broke in your life is not a faith confession. It's the voice and confession of your covetousness, and it's a mockery of saints who are struggling to make ends meet. I am not against people living well and being comfortable, but living well and being comfortable is not a proof of godliness or spirituality. Neither is it a product of positive confession.
A man's life does not consist in the abundance of things he has...

Different society have their own customs and superstitions. For example, in Japan if you eat noodles without making the slurpy sound when you suck the noodles in, you'll be said to be disrespectful and lack appreciation for the food... Doesn't that custom look funny and should be changed..

Some of these customs and traditions we have might stem out from funny coincidences.. For example killing of twins might probably start when an eclipse occurred right after twins were given birth to and the elders took it to mean that twins were evil and causes day to become night..
The fact that we were born into some customs and traditions doesn't mean we must adhere to all of them.. We should learn to accept changes..

The same reason why refusing to shake someone that extend his hand to you in greetings is referred to as I'll mannered

I would not even notice if someone gives me his left hand for a handshake.

Remember where God says the sheep would be n the goats would also be.
Accepted Sheep to the right
Rejected goat to the left.
So u can channel ur question to God if u are not satisfied yet

Since you decide to take that passage literally would you also literally gorge out your eyes or cut off your arms to avoid sinning?

Actually I'm a Christian.

Is using the left foot to kick football also Satanic?

Because the whites or asian are against left handed people doesn't mean it isn't superstitious. They still have some superstitious beliefs like coming down from the left side of the bed brings bad luck etc.. I even read somewhere that the church use to believe that the devil was left handed.

Me sef I can be sometimes oblivious of my surroundings to notice if some gives (or receive) me something with his left hands or not... But in other to avoid unnecessary talks and advices I try to use my right hand when giving or taking something from my elders.

Legend of the guardian

SenecaTheYonger:
When a yahoo boy is caught, arrest the women they’re involved with also and arrest the family members that benefited knowingly or unknowingly from the proceeds. They will get lesser sentence. (The ones that benefitted unknowingly will get just 24 hrs detention)

This technique operates on the principle of the domino effect.

The police won't have to do much work here because fraudsters will be handed over to the police ASAP by their own families and pairs. The only way to eradicate this is to build a very strong stigma around it.

You're right. They should also arrest store owners that sold goods to them since some store owners know their customers are yahoo boys... By the time the arrest everyone that benefitted from the crime, there won't be anyone left again hence the end of fraud, yahoo and corruption...

A real boyfriend gives half of his salary to his girlfriend. And a real girlfriend rejects it..

Potential approach nkor?

Red has always been my favorite color and Man Utd was the first club I knew that wore red jersey so I became their fan..

No one wants to be identified with the puppy anymore.. But I thought puppies are cute and everyone would wanna hold and pet one. What happened?? �

Imagine they decide to burn weed like this and stand closeby.

Please stop Misleading people with this Untrue Statement that is

"Perhaps you said something long ago that haunts you because of its blasphemous nature. Are you, then, guilty of this unforgivable sin, or might you be?
The answer is that, by definition, no true Christian can have committed the unforgivable sin"

Is it proper to say that the fact that you are forgiven of your sins, means you never sinned because you did not know it was an offence?

Would it not be Good Teaching to teach that "now you understand that you have offended God, and that your offence hurt Him, since it must hurt Him then, as it hurts Him even now, and that you are sorry for hurting Him even then, when you did not know that it was an offence?"

Would God reject an Ernest and Truthful "I'm Sorry" and Shall He Not Forgive, if in fact He Did Not Forgive Earlier, As ye think?

Did you read everything I typed or you just picked a part you put your own meaning into it?

That leaves one question, namely, should Christians fear that they have or may yet commit the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Perhaps you said something long ago that haunts you because of its blasphemous nature. Are you, then, guilty of this unforgivable sin, or might you be?

The answer is that, by definition, no true Christian can have committed the unforgivable sin. Jesus promised, in John 6:40, “Everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” In fact, let me assure you that if you are worried that you may have committed the unforgivable sin that is strong testimony that you have not; if your heart were hardened enough to commit the sin you would no longer be concerned about your eternal state. Instead of pleading to Jesus you, like the Pharisees, would be plotting harm to his kingdom. If you believe and confess in your heart that Jesus is Lord and Savior, then you have accepted the Spirit’s testimony and by definition have not blasphemed against it. Regardless of blasphemous words that have fallen from your lips or thoughts. If you have believed and turned to Christ then you have not committed this sin that is revealed through unbelief and hatred for Christ. Even Simon Peter, who denied the Lord with curses on the night of his arrest, was brought to repentance and was restored by the mercy of the Lord. If you, like Peter, have sometime denied Christ out of weakness and sin, then like him you are qualified to speak about Jesus’ mercy and grace that offers forgiveness to sinners.

There's no sin that is unforgivable.....



The moment you accept Christ into your life, all sins are washed away.....

Because, when you accept Christ into your life, there are things you will never do and Satan will never has you to his tables, but the temptations will be mighty and you will need only God's grace and wisdom to stay steadfast....

The unforgiveable sin (the sin of blasphemy against the holy spirit) is simply the sin of unbelief.. All other sin can be forgiven except the sin of unbelief.

To understand this, we need to consider what was happening. It was not merely that the Pharisees heard Jesus’ preaching and denied his gospel. But here they not only heard Jesus’ claims about himself, but they also received clear validation of those claims through the power of the Holy Spirit (via the miracle Jesus performed). Instead of believing, they attributed to the devil what was the work of Christ through the Holy Spirit. They said, “He has an evil spirit” (Mk. 3:30). So hardened were their hearts, that even knowing the miracle was of God they ascribed it to an evil spirit, knowing it was true they still insisted it was false. That is the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, willfully and intentionally refusing to submit to God and his Word.

Why is this sin “unforgivable?” Jesus said, “Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven” (Matthew 12:31). God is not unwilling to forgive. God gave his Son to die for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, because of his boundless grace. What makes this sin unforgivable is the offender’s unwillingness to repent and believe. Their hardened attitude is shown by their determination to reject any proof for Jesus divine mission, to the extent that they even attribute God’s attestation of Jesus to the devil.

Preacher : The oil in the parable of the ten virgins typifies the holy ghost in the life of a believer. And a lack of sanctification and holiness can make him run out
Me : You sound very sure about this typology sir. Don't you think that's rather hasty?
Preacher : not at all. , very sure. It couldn't have meant anything else but the holy ghost
Me : can we test this your revelation sir?
Preacher : why not? Go ahead
Me : okay sir. Let's replace the Word "oil" in that parable with the holy ghost and see if we can hold on to your interpretation.
Preacher : right away!
Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no HOLY GHOST with them:
4 But the wise took THE HOLY GHOST in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your HOLY GHOST ; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough HOLY GHOST for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell THE HOLY GHOST , and buy THE HOLY GHOST for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy THE HOLY GHOST , the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Me : so what do you think sir?
Preacher : I never really thought about it like this before now Pastor. You're right sir, oil couldn't have been a type of the holy ghost
Me : I'm glad you finally saw it sir.
That's why it's called a parable. You can't take it literally.
Selah!

Let ye that steal, steal no more...

Jesus didn't die for us because we lived right, rather, He died for us, and set us free from sin so that we can live right. Good works do not lead to salvation, but salvation leads to good works.

budaatum:
By your reasoning, demons that believe in Jesus will enter heaven despite their trembling, which does sound rather contrary to what Christ taught in the Parable of the Orangutan!

I think any sensible person should ask what sort of god would do what you say God would do here.

Believing that Jesus exist is different from the "belief" expained in John 3:16 which is known as faith..

Taking everything as a joke. Even the serious things..

Generational curses is an attempt to exalt your physical ancestry above Christ and his finished work. Even if it was true that your fathers or parents did some things in the past, you would have to totally ignore all that Jesus did for you to believe you're suffering from a generational curse. No matter what happened in your family before you came to Christ or is still happening now, Christ Jesus has done much more. Put your faith in what he has done. The blood of Jesus overrides your family blood line.
Jesus the tree of life supersedes your family tree. Jesus is the answer... Old things have passed away.

Janosky:
Bros, When you bow down to your village Elders or the kabiyesi in your home town, are you worshipping them ?

Exodus 20:5, "do not give honor (by bowing) to idols..
Abi ".. no be induced to worship (serve) them.." That one no dey your Bible?

When you bow down to a Kabiyesi and say "blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever." you and worshiping the kabiyesi. Don't try and paint words hear... Go and check the meaning of worship in the dictionary my friend.

"We have preached condemnation and sin so long that we do not know how to preach righteousness and to tell the believers what they are IN CHRIST.
When someone does tell them, they feel that it is false teaching. They feel that anything is FALSE TEACHING that does not honor sin and lift it into the place of Christ".
- E.W. Kenyon

Janosky:
The Worship was given to Jehovah God, not to the Lamb.
To bow or fall down before the Lamb (or kabiyesi )is an act of respect or honour, NOT worship.

The holy Scriptures abounds with PROOF of the hosts of Heaven giving WORSHIP to Jehovah God.

Revelations 4:10-11 and many others in the screenshot.

Didn't you read Rev 5:13.... “To the One sitting on the throne AND TO THE LAMB be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever. Isn't that statement and act of worship

Please consult your dictionary to see what worship means.

Then also read Exodus 20:5 and see what God says about "bowing"

He has nothing to say about it.

It seems the GB have affected their minds to accept every lie from them (GB) as the truth.

Every truth that is not from the GB are lies.

They've been made to believe that only the Watch tower society can teach the bible claiming to be the faithful and discreet slave... This is something they spoke against the Vatican which they now do... Such hypocrisy.
