alBHAGDADI:
The problem is that most of what you call churches today are all fraud. They preach the wrong gospel that is why the fruits of Christianity can't be found in them. They have also created disciples and have proliferated every nook and crannies of this world.

Example of false churches are RCCG and Winners chapel. They preach work based salvation which unbiblical. That's why they can never perform any miracle but lies. They deny Jesus paid for our salvation in full. Thisbshows they have denied Jesus of full glory. They dont have the son whom they have denied, so how can they have the Father?

1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also .
Christian


Please study to show thyself approved.

Preach against their message not against them.. Last last they're still church leaders and we're admonished to respect their authority..

For a believer to be possessed by a demon. It is either it shares the same temple (the believer's body) with the Holy Spirit OR the Holy Spirit would have to leave a believer so the demon can enter. For that to happen, the demon will have to undo what God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit have done on the believer. The devil is powerless as far as a believer is concerned...

To answer this question, I'd like you to answer this first. Can Jesus be possessed by a demon?

amyliajane:
So the person should continue in sin ?

He didn't say such Jane. As a Believer, one doesn't live in sin anymore. He's a new creature. His nature is changed. But it is possible for a believer to fall into sin cos "the flesh is weak". The difference between a believer and an unbeliever is likened to the scenario of a pig and a sheep. When a pig comes in contact with mud it feels comfortably at home cos that's its nature.. When a sheep comes in contact with mud, it feels uncomfortable and until it is brought out from that condition it is restless. That isn't the nature of the sheep. That's the difference between a believer and an unbeliver..

If John the baptist despite being the forerunner of christ had died without believing in christ he'd have gone to hell.

If Joseph, the father of Jesus, despite saving the life of Christ as an infant had died without believing in Christ, he'd have gone to hell.

Even Mary the mother of Jesus despite her moral characters and the fact that she carried our Lord on her womb for 9 months had died without believing in Jesus, she'd still have gone to hell.

Christ and Christ alone will and is the only way one can make heaven.

duality:
You and the Op, are wrong and you can choose to remain so. Let God be the judge.

Show me your faith and I'll show you corresponding faith work.

If you are saved, you must bear fruit unto salvation.

Anyone can claim to be saved by grace, but by their fruits, you will know them.

Trust there are atheists that don't steal, kill, commit adultery, fornicate, disrespect their elders.. They give to the poor and needy and widows. They even give to the church. They don't lie. They have genuine love for their neighbours. They're at peace with their neighbours. They're in good marriages and they have morally upright children.. Now tell me, if you ever come across such atheist, what do you say to them? For them to repent from their sins? To them they have no sin to repent from.. Tell me what gospel you'll preach to such person.

Many Christians (and non Christians) actually don't realise what the birth, death and ressurection of Jesus really did for mankind. John 3:16 is easily the most known verse of the bible. But some don't know that it actually summarized what God did for mankind when he sent His son to die for us.

When I was younger I was made to believe that we will marvel at the set of people we'll see in hell. Only recently did I know that actually, it's the set of people we'll see in heaven that we'll marvel at. Some people will be surprised when. they eventully see themselves in heaven..

I m always happy when I see people who understand the Gospel.
Thanks

Happy Sunday

xeros20:
The consequences of this message is to miss lead people. Now he is thanking you for telling him to continue in sin, that he will still go to heaven.

They're a lot of people that don't believe in this message. They preach against it and call people like the OP false teachers or an Antichrist. They claim this grace message is a license to sin. But they still commit sins. Now tell me, what license do they use to sin?

alBHAGDADI:
The first Bible passage you quoted actually proves my stance. How many preachers teach what I taught in the OP and how many people believe it? Just a very few

How many teachers teach the opposite of what I taught and how many people believe in their teaching? Majority.

That shows you that the majority are on the broad way which leads to destruction, while the few who believe what I taught which is biblical are on the narrow way that leads to life.

They actually take that passage out of context. The narrow way is called narrow cos there's only one way (which is Christ) to God. The Broadway is called broad cos there are numerous ways.

duality:
Matthew 7:13-15 Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.



The @op is a false teacher...

The scripture told us of his like.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.

The agenda is to kill God / heaven consciousness in man. In preparation for the reign of the antichrist.

On the contrary, the op is Christ centered. He teaches that the only way to be saved is through Christ and not goodworks. Any other message apart from this is other gospel. Any other .message apart from this is an anti-Christ gospel.

Remember Cornelius. He was a good man who did good works. He gave to the poor and needy. But he didn't know christ. If he had died in that conditioned he'd have gone to hell. His good works can't and would never have saved him. God being a merciful God didn't want his good works to go to waste. So he sent Peter to preach to him. Cornelius along with his household believed and were saved. Christ alone can save and not good works..

chiommy123:
So once I believe and behave anyhow I want heaven is my home. You should stop deceiving people. Even the Bible says no unclean thing shall enter into heaven and we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound God forbid

Oga nowhere in the OP were you asked to behave anyhow when you believe in Christ. Salvation is a full and perfect package. After one is saved he's saved once and for all. His spirit is renewed. But his mind isn't renewed. That's why he needs to study the bible for the renewal of his mind.

The greatest ever natural disaster in human history and since God's creation of the Earth in the beginning - The flood in the days of Noah!

The greatest disaster in living history - The Asian Tsunami on boxing day, 26th of 2004!

Jesus said:

"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Mt 24:37-39(KJV).

Now am I the one that's been able to draw comparisons with what had transpired in the days of Noah, to that of the Asian tsunami which took place on the 26th of Dec, 2004?

For Jesus had said as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also been at the end of the world, and with reference to how they were in a celebratory mood before the flood came in the days of Noah!

For the Asian tsunami took place at peak of the celebration of Christmas which is the boxing day of 2004, for despite that it wasn't on the day of Christmas itself, the boxing day is known to be the day when the celebrations of Christmas hits it his highest point, even higher than the Christmas day itself.

So could it be that it was meant to be a warning to humanity with respect to what Jesus said the end time would be like, as it was similar to what took place in the days of Noah of which Jesus said, "as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be"?

And does it also tell us what Jesus makes of the celebration of His birthday by the church, and also the world, for if it was such a big deal to Him, He would not have permitted such a disaster to befall those who were celebrating it?

The record numbers of the victims of the Asian tsunami, would have been much less had it taken place on a normal day with little or no such celebration.

It's an event that shook the bery foundations of the world, both literally and emotionally, and forget the excuse of global warming with respect to the flood that took place in the days of Noah amongst others, for whenever such an historic takes place on the Earth, it is never by coincidence.

Therefore be ye warned!

What about those disasters that happened on normal days. What were they warning us against.. Or are they that insignificant?

OneJ:
.

Pls do research on the origin of birthdays celebration & understand what it really is...

Do research on the origins of the days of the week and the months of the year. Then tell me why Christians like you don't discard it's use... Hypocites...

OneJ:
1) The info as to the origin of birthdays celebration is in the public domain.
U are just grasping at straws ,very mumuish attitude.
U no dey shame U dey quote Matt15:9. Lol. U are very dishonest & shamelessly so.
Your fellow birthday peddler dey tell U say birthdays na pagan custom, ,yet your arrogance & lie lie dey show face.

U dey follow the doctrine & command of men who fixed a date for Christ's birthday( "in the hopes of recruiting those already celebrating the Roman holiday of saturnalia" to endorse your own. Matt 15:9 nab U for hand & leg.

2) "It is not what early Christians believed that matters but what the Bible teaches... Some early Christians were heretics.".
Yet, your Bible no teach U say birthday is Christian practice.
U no go fit mention ONLY one scripture where your Bible speak well of birthdays. Or give example of a man of faith or any first century Christian who celebrated it.

3). Only half baked Christians look for concise, clear cut injunctions on every matter.
The Christ like principle is shun birthdays. Christ did, his followers did. Men of faith did. The Scriptural principles already well established for Christians speak against birthday celebrations (Genesis 40:20. Matt14:1-12. Galatians 4:8-11. 2 Cor 6:14-18.
(BTW,John was beheaded simply for speaking the truth, not because of Herod's birthday).

4) Yahweh never condemned the use of ornaments. Your submission lacks substance.

Just one verse of the bible that's against birthday celebration and you're writing all these... Even if its

OneJ:
.


1) Give him scriptural proof that birthday celebration was practiced by pre- Christian men of faith or first century Christians. Did your Bible say birthday celebration was practiced by Christians ?
Your noise making takes U nowhere....

2) The real issue at stake is : Was birthday celebration a practice of pre-christian men of faith/ first Christian practice ?

3) Starting from Abel to John the Baptizer, then from Christ to the end of the first century CE, did all these men of faith forget to celebrate their birthdays by coincidence?

4) What fellowship does light have with darkness? 2 Cor 6:14-18.
Matter wey your Bible no give U even one Christian example to follow, but pagan example dey, na the way wey pagans they do their worship U go copy ?

Days of the week and months of the year all have pagan origins... We as Christians should burn all our calendars. After all, what has light got to do with darkness..

If this this is the work of an incompetent lifeless dullard, then I don't want a competent living Solomon as president...

IamAtikulate:
Compare the height of buhari standing with Saraki in the first picture and the height of real Buhari in the second picture taken in 2016.

Buhari in 2018 in the first picture is now younger than Buhari in 2016 in the second image.

Yoruba moslems please explain.

Post an old picture of buhari and Saraki side by side.

Buhari was born 1942. He wrote his WAEC in 1961. Do the maths...

I don't get this demand for Buhari to remove his cap for proof.. If "dead" Buhari's face and other part of his body could be perfectly cloned, is it his head that they won't clone perfectly?

PS: Anybody that believes Kanu is as foolish as him.... Probably foolisher..

Years ago I read about Mitchelle Obama being a transgender. They was nothing I didn't see. Her muscular arms, bulge on her groin area etc.. At the end all of these are just conspiracy theories.

No matter the reason, it still doesn't change the fact that the minimum wage was agreed on, does it?

TimeMachine:
What do you know about killing the first born son of every family and marking the blood on the doors of their homes to avoid angels killing the whole household ?

Are you sure you read your Bible?

What of the most popular sacrifice? The killing of Jesus as sacrifice to save the Souls? Are you ignorant of the fact that this is a congenital sacrifice of human ?

Today you participate in cannibalism rituals. You drink human blood and eat human flesh and call it mass and communion. It is a ritual and that how it's done in other cults too. So it is idolatry.

The best way to know Prime Creator is Spirituality not religions.

Spirituality in its true form requires no worship, no sacrifice and Spirituality is Science in its latent form. Start from Holographic Universe and Solid State Physics and drop those ancient thoughts.

You do not need to confuse yourselves with truth. What you can't proof is really not worth believing. Prime Creator is Spiritual Intelligence. The eternal presence that is our essence . We are !

Eating bread and drinking wine is now cannibalism abi? I wonder how many of us are cannibals then..

MuttleyLaff:
"Then God said,
"Take your son, your only son, whom you love--Isaac--and go to the region of Moriah.
Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."
- Genesis 22:2

I already
You saying, Isaac was not sacrificed, is jumping away from the point

The point, truth and fact is that, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, as a burnt offering
so why did you then say:
"Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible."

Timemachine says a lot things.
It doesnt mean that what he says is right

You know what a strawman is, dont you Perfectbeing?
Give it a rest, as one of my biggest pet peeves is strawman

You obviously know what I meant when I said God doesn't require human sacrifices and he never asked for one. Yes God asked Abraham for his son but it is obvious he needed to show Abraham something. He really didn't needed a human sacrifice hence he stopped Abraham from killing Isaac..

amaniro:
thank you, that was actually a mistake but I felt reluctant in modifying it. I know but some practise in old Testament were nullified that's my point.

OK. if that's what you meant

"... But Jehovah was an enigma in the Abrahamic days,
he demanded lots of human sacrifices and wage wars against the Philistines through Israel"

"And also someone said God requires human sacrifice.
Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible..."
- Perfectbeing © 2018

Perfectbeing, Perfectbeing, Perfectbeing.
How many times did I call you?

Wait I don't get. Did God ask for humans to be sacrificed? And please don't say Isaac. Isaac was not sacrificed. Timemachine said God requires a lot of human sacrifices. How is Jesus' sacrifice on the cross a lot of human sacrifices?

MuttleyLaff:
God required the perfect human sacrifice.

The challenge is how can anyone possibly get hold of the perfect human sacrifice.

Have you heard of the saying, that,
if you want something done well,
if you want something done perfectly well,
if you want it done to your taste or perfect standard,
you do it yourself.

Guess what happened Perfectbeing, concerning that issue of perfect human sacrifice

My quote was a reaction to the statement of 'Timemachine', where he said that "God requires a lot a human sacrifices" . God required only one human sacrifice and not a lot of them.

amaniro:
forget that chapter, do you know that is leventicus old Testament. Jesus saves us in new testament, if you just go about with this, just end up being judgemental people.

Mr Amaniro, you do not tell someone to forget any scripture in the Bible. Be it old or new. The old testaments was put there for a reason. Your Bible contains the old and New testaments doesn't it? Do you because of being in the new covenant of Christ tear out the old testaments from your Bible? I guess not.
Remember even Jesus quoted from the scriptures of old. Apostle Paul in his epistles, quoted from the old testaments. Peter, James and John did also.

And also, we know there's nothing wrong in wearing tattoos. But I won't advice you or anyone to wear tattoo. Not because it's a sin. But because you're damaging your body which is the temple of God. Do some research about what tattoo does to the body. Smoking isn't wrong also but it damages your health and that of people around you.

And also wearing tattoos makes you look rugged and rough and you won't look presentable to a lot of people. Some organisations won't employ you if you have visible tattoos on your body. In the world we live in today, people won't ask you if you're responsible or if you're a Christian before you given a job. They judge you at your outward appearance. I don't think if you own a firm and you see a guy who smokes and with tattoos all over his body you'd want to employ him. His outward appearance will give him as someone who you shouldn't trust you firm to as a good businessman. Remember, it is the way that you're dressed that you'll be addressed.

In case you already have tattoos on your body don't think God loves you any less. If you're a believer you're faultless in God's eyes. God doesn't see you anymore but he sees Jesus in you. But don't draw more tattoos OK. In fact, if it's not a permanent one, I'll advice you to remove it. If it is, just let it be be and don't draw more..
Bless you..

Lev 19:21 "You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

The question now my friend is, do you cut the hair at the side of your head or do you clip off the edges of your beard (if you have beard)?

If yes, you're guilty of breaking one of the commandments.

The Bible is complete..

Jewish laws and customs forbade men from tattooing, shaving their beard or sides of hair. It forbade women from opening their hairs in synagogues or from decorating their bodies. It forbade the Jews from eating some food (like pigs) or touching them. It forbade them from having dealings with the gentiles. Those are Jewish customs. And I'm pretty sure you're not a Jew. If you want to keep the Jewish laws know that they're 613 of them. You can't keep one and forget about the remaining 612. You have to keep each and everyone of them. If you break one, you're guilty of breaking all of them (James 2:10-11). So as a guy, if you do not wear tattoo but you shave the sides of your hair or trim the edge of your beards, you're as guilty as someone who wears tattoo. And as a babe, If you cover your hair to church and you don't wear makeup but you eat pig meat or your best friend is a Moslem, according to Jewish customs and law you're a lawbreaker.

The law (the 10 commandments) was powerless to make us right with God because of our sinful nature (Heb 8:3). It wasn't to say the law was not perfect. Everything God does is perfect. So is the law. But we just couldn't handle the law because of our flesh was too weak. The law was too fault-finding. We had to keep every commandment to the end. If we break just one, we would be guilty of breaking all of them (James 2:10). Keeping the 10 commandments could look easy to us. Isn't it just to serve God, worship God, not bow to any other gods, not to dishonour your parents, not to murder, commit adultery, or fornication, not to steal, lie, covet our neighbors property etc. It looks easy right? But trust me it isn't. When you think you haven't committed adultery but you look at that pretty girl that just walked past you lustfully, you just committed adultery. When you think you haven't lie but you tell one white lie in the office or you tell a lie to save a friend you just broke the 6th commandment. When you think you honour your parents but you just called Buhari a fool and an idiot, you've dishonored your parents, when you think you've never murdered someone in your entire life but you call your brother a fool, the law will label you guilty of murder. When you think you haven't coveted your neighbor's property but you look at Davido's Lamborghini and you say in your mind "I wish that car is mine", you've just coveted. When you think you've never served any other God but instead of going to church on Sunday you had to be in your workplace, the law finds you guilty of idol worship.
The law deems almost anything you do as a man sin.

So what God did was to make things easy for us was send his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering (the same Heb 8:3). So he fulfilled the law for us. So once we believe in him we have fulfilled all the laws of God also...

But then some people will say, "perfectbeing, are you now saying that if someone believes in Jesus and he steals or murder someone, are you saying he's still in right standing with God?" You might want to quote Romans 6:1. But let me ask you something first, did you see me write to in anywhere that you should go and steal since you've believed and no longer under the law? Go and steal or kill if you like. You'll know whether the police is your friend or not.

That's not what I'm saying. When you believe your sinful nature is been replaced with the nature of Christ. Romans 6:1 says... Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? What was the reply in vs 2? "God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
Impossible. Believers can no longer live in sin because the nature of sin is dead and buried. But it is still possible for for us believers to fall into sin (not live in sin) sometimes because even though our nature is changed, we still live in this weak body of ours. Our minds still needs to be regenerated. That can only happen when we keep reading and meditating on God's word daily.

"What's the difference between living in sin and falling into sin?" some might ask.

Have you ever seen a sheep in a mud water before? (I love NATGEO WILD so I know a lotta things about animals). When a sheep falls into mud, it becomes restless and uncomfortable and in distress. Why? Cos that's not it's nature. The sheep only becomes comfortable and normal after it is removed and cleaned. But try putting a pig in mud water. Good lord, you just found this pig another home. The pig is comfortable in this dirty water why? Because it is his nature to be dirty.. Even when you remove the pig from the dirt and you clean it, put it a bit close to the dirt and you'll see the pig going to get itself comfortable again..
That's the difference between the believer who fall into sin (the sheep) and the unbeliever (who lives in sin (the pig).
Sinner live the life of sin just like a pig but a believer doesn't.

So as a believer whenever you fall in sin, know that there's "therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death"
This I say not to encourage you to sin but that if you sin, you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous" I john 2:1.

GentlePEACE:
Leviticus 19:28, says: “You must not put tattoo marking upon yourselves.”

The Bible is complete.

Lev 19:21 "You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

The question now my friend is, do you cut the hair at the side of your head or do you clip off the edges of your beard (if you have beard)?

If yes, you're guilty of breaking one of the commandments.

The Bible is complete..

Perfectbeing:
Thanks sir for the post. It should be an eye opener for us Christians to stand for Christ. All we need s is to keep telling everyone about Christ every chance we get. When someone tries to ridicule the word, correct the person in love. Remember we were once enemies of God before we accepted this unfathomable life in Christ. We should try to let those we're correcting see the light and the only way to do that for some hardened hearts is through love and patience. Do give up on them and say "it's you that know. If you like believe, if you like don't believe " God didn't give up on you. So as long as they're still alive, there's still hope for them to be saved.

My advice for us is to not try to defend the word. Just tell them the word and the word will defend itself. Just like you don't defend a caged lion. What you do is open the cage and the lion will defend itself (hopefully it doesn't eat you.. lol)

I call you blessed OP...

And also OP, don't preach hell to them. Christ asked us to preach Himself not hell. Just tell them about the gospel of Christ cos it is the "power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes". Rom 1:16
The message of of hell only brings fear which is not of God. The fear of hell cannot save anyone from hell. But the gospel of Christ will.
At best the message of hell will only appeal to our human emotions and make us have a sense of resolution not to do bad things again. But this resolution will not stand the test of time because it's foundation is not in Christ. As a child, the fear of hell made me make a lot of resolutions. Some of which I broke before the break of dawn.

I can assure you that most of us here knows about hell. Prostitutes, armed robbers and murderers know what they're doing is wrong and if they die they'll go to hell. But even with this fear of hell, they don't stop selling their bodies, robbing people or murdering people. Funnily enough, It is even the fear of hell itself that makes Boko Haram terrorists to slaughter people everyday. They believe if they do this they'll make heaven and not hell. What Christ did on the cross over 2000 years ago is what they need to know..

I call you blessed..
