Sport is basically entertainment, a pastime, competitive activity. Bible says "Rom 14:20  For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense. "+Titus 1v15. It depends on your spiritual understanding and situation. Some things are not sin but may be wrong, and may cause others to sin. It is wrong not to keep to time, ti may be a sin or not a sin depending. God sees our hearts and weighs ALL our works. nevertheless, we should not live without concern for others, or satisfy our flesh, or abuse our use of the world. Whatsover we do, we should do all to the glory of God. That something is called sport/entertainment does not mean it's good. Gambling is sport to some, playing lotto is, strip dancing is, swallowing knives, r.omancing snakes, these are all sports. Almost anything can be made a sport.
Jdg 16:27  Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
1Corinth 7:31  And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
We as believers are not to love the world, or the things that are in the world, just as someone else earlier posted. Whatever we meet in this world should be held with'loose hands'. i.e We should be willing to drop them anytime, no matter how much we enjoy them. that should be our attitude to the world and its system. Love God, love your neighbour as yourself. That simplehard command takes out competition, doesn't it. Cause if you truly loved your neighbour as yourself you would not want him to lose, or be hit, as you don't want to lose or be hit.' So how the heavens do you win in sport? Take it as a sport, not 'do or die', out of my way, all i care is to win attitude, regardless of what happens to other competitors. Now, that's very hard, maybe humanly impossible to achieve. So we might both be involved in something(a 'good sport'), and my heart may be different from your heart. God sees both hearts, we see two sport men. Whatsover we do, we should do all to the glory of God. If there's a way possible for Judo, wrestling, boxing, gambling etc would glorify God. How it can be possible, if it is possible, by all means, then do it.

Whatever we do should be to the glory of God. 1 Cor 10:31-32 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Cor 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
( i could remeber how we always put God first before we go for our competition and if victory, the Glory goes to him, by going to give offering in the church.

If Jesus approved todays athletes/sports, the answer maybe yes or no pending on the ones with bad reputations.
I will personally not practice wresling becos they fight Uncoved and ve a wild appearance, and its specific goal is to physicaly harm/injure the other to the point dat he is knocked unconscious dat he can no longer continue.
This act is voilent. (Just my own opinion though.)
And for Boxing, its same rules as wresling, body exposed during competition.
But that of Judo, the rules is different, body well coverd, and respect is showed befor and during the event.
and there is no brutal hiting during event.

(Romans 14:5) One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Put this in the sport world, it may not be offensive to God for his children practising a sport.

Thanks to all for contributing, i must say this is the reason why i set up this thread, I personally did not think the bible stated any positive or negative word about sport.

harakiri:
Please, try and see things from a broader perspective before commenting. The problem with religious folks like you is that you find it hard to handle bare cold facts concerning what you believe in. You opened a thread titled "what does the bible say about sports". I can assure you that there is no where in the bible where sporting activities is mentioned (if it was, it would be deemed as idol worship). In my previous comment, i made it clear that the history of sports is associated with the worship of Greek gods. Do not take my word for it. If you doubt me, do your research and see what you come up with. The first stadia/amphitheater was dedicated to Hercules. What does that tell you?

Do your own research and you'll see everything for yourself (if you are willing to face the cold truth). Nobody is attacking your religion or has issues with your god. It's the simple basic truth i'm telling you. You don't have to get all insecure about it and make it all about your god. Find out the truth for yourself and prove me wrong (if you can).

Nuff said!

I do understand ur first post, but it didn't hit my needs. I didn't want to go searching internet or else i wouldn't ve the need to post this thread. I needed responds from some Christians here, i prefare.

You are right the bible didn't mentioned a perticular sport event, But Paul wrote some thisng about sport but this applies to spiritual matters to my understanding.

You made some point about the history of sports by the Greek as in giving glory to their gods, but they practice certain sports not all at that time. This was the reason why the Jews generally did not participated in or even supported Greek sports because they were done totally nude, violation of the Jewish practice.

wetu:

1Jn 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


That is what the Bible says about sports if we can agree that sports are part of the things that are in the world

same with movies etc, But let everyone be fully persuaded in his own mind (Romans 14)

I get ur point, but u know that even in the movie or music world there are certain u can pick as worldly and others no, i think this applies in everything we meet on this planet. the intention of how something is been used/practice matters alot. The business of our lives as christians is not to please ourselves, but to please God. That is true Christianity, which makes Christ all in all. Though we are of different strength, capacities, and practices in lesser things, yet we are all the Lord's. I ve practice sport all my life but have never make it a priority to Gods work.
If we are to count worldly things, Jobs and businesses etc.

Pastor Christ said, there is only one God and that that God has proved himself in Jesus by his resuration.
He didnt say God also proved himself in Moha.
There is no two ways about this video, the msg clearly says, the God of Jesus, tht is the true God of the Christian.
Muslim denies Jesus resuration so they dont access God through Jesus but through Mohamed. That is, if they even ve the access.
This means, christians and muslims are of no aggreement in worshiping one God
(For no man cometh unto my father but by me)( i am the way, the truth and the life)
with this, muslims are not sarving the God of Jesus.

No room for brethren qouting each other in anger.

@harakiri, if u ve a heavy heart with God that is ur own cup of tea.
Thank u though for contributing.

LagosShia:
Mark 16:16-20
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

False Prophecies Of The New Testament (bible):
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-550247.0.html

Another irrelevant intruder link. Ur intensions are well understood never mind.

@Topic, i believe christians who experience oppresion and evil attacks are those still living partially in the world of sin. The bible has made it clear. A soul that sinneth shall die, if the body is holy, If Satan finds none of his products in a christian life, he just cant operates. All he sees is God him him/her. In conclusion, i will say yes, a christian who can be hurt by these satanic forces is a weak one. One needs to be holy to be above Satan and his forces.

I am reading it, i am yet to arrive at this varse, u cant know everything if u ve not finish gen to rev.

Thx for ur views.

Irrelevant links are clicked by ignorances fellow like @OP.

Another prophecy outside the favour of Gods.
When will he tell us that God has promise to do great thing in nja, but njas needs to seek God in order
To achieve this Gods promise. If this happens i bet he will win souls for God and heaven will rejoice.
This is a negetive news to the people, even if majorities are already aware of the situation before he prophecies it.
Let God show us the truth.

Just want to know if its against the biblie for a christian practising sports like Judo, Wresling, Boxing etc.
I ve not come across a verse yet but someone told me, they re not a biblical surported.
What do u know about this? Ur views are needed plz.

Learn what? by accepting that we are cannibals or too explain we are not? Not all question desarve to be answer.

@plappville,

You don't realize you and the OP are saying different things, infact opposite.

The poster wrotes,
The word “baptism” means “to be washed or cleansed.” This has nothing to do with physical baptism

Water baptism is physical done by a servant of God in the spirit.
That of the Holy Ghose is spiritual, It cannot be seen by people, but he that is been baptise can feel it.
The bible mentioning Water Baptism and then the Holy spirit to finish up.
After this event, we are Born again in Christ.

(Acts 2:36-38)
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit

First is to repent, then Baptism of the Water and then the Holy ghost baptise u.
and after comes the Gifts of the Holy spirit awaiting u.

What a question exhibiting so much ignorance.

I knew this question does not wort to be answered.
He knows the answer.

Another time Jesus who is the God is crying begging God.
Yelling out in questioning God why He forsaken him.

The same Jesus some said set aside his Godship, while at the same time he is always God the maker.

And he said he can of his own power do nothing.

U believed he said these words ,yet u deny when he call himself SON OF GOD.?
Why didnt u say the contrary? (like, He didnt say these words, it was all Paul and christians that says it??)) u forbids Jesus claims as the saviour of the world, he didnt come to die for our sins etc. U ve to justify urself with the truth.

@Pastor AIO
« #3 on: February 16, 2011, 09:53 AM »
So we can conclude that to be baptised is to be born again and those that teach that born again is coming to the front of the church to pray with the pastor are liars.  Doesn't baptism symbolize dying with christ and once again being born anew?

Yes to be baptise is to be born again. Those that come to front of the church are to repent and accept Jesus into their life.
We can repent through a tape or video preaching too.
But that instant repentant without baptism is not yet born again if we are to hold on to John 3:1-8

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. this is when one can say he is born again. Repent, baptise of the water and then of the spirit.

St Justin Matyr writing aroung the year 150CE has this to say

Through Christ we received new life and we consecrated ourselves to God. I will explain the way in which we did this. Those who believe what we teach is true and who give assurance of their ability to live according to that teaching are taught to ask God’s forgiveness for their sins by prayer and fasting and we pray and fast with them. We then lead them to a place where there is water and they are reborn in the same way as we were reborn; that is to say, they are washed in the water in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the whole universe, of our Savior Jesus Christ and of the Holy Spirit. This is done because Christ said: Unless you are born again you will not enter the kingdom of heaven, and it is impossible for anyone, having once been born, to re-enter his mother’s womb.
An explanation of how repentant sinners are to be freed from their sins is given through the prophet Isaiah in the words: Wash
yourselves and be clean. Remove the evil from your souls; learn to do what is right. Be just to the orphan, vindicate the widow. Come, let us reason together, says the Lord. If your sins are like scarlet, I will make them white as wool; if they are like crimson, I will make them white as snow. But if you do not heed me, you shall be devoured by the sword. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.

John the Baptise preached and baptise those tbat got repented that same day.
He didnt wait for some period of time to have a justification of if they have believed his teaches befor the baptising took place as the church today do. When one repented of his/her sin by giving up the sins. The church do not baptised immediately, they set a baptising lesson for the new repented souls, i think it is too long.
Someone that repented will ve to wait for so long to be justified by a pastor befor he under go the baptising i dont think this is right. It should be done as The bible explained it no? That is, repent today and get baptise today or not too long. How do u do it in ur church plz enlighten my church has a long method.
@Poster, may Gods bless u for a topic like this, it brings Growth in those in Christ.

Sweetnecta
And God also spoke through Jesus. Jesus was a prophet. A messiah is nothing but anointed. I hope you will your bible and if i am wrong, then call me out on anyone of them.

I am not in a do or die debate with u, a tipical kuran brain washed is in display. The socalled koran that cliamed the bible is currupted is yet the perfect book for the earth to believe.

no time was Jesus in his earthly life called any of these. It is after he was lifted up to heaven by his Lord that you guys began to call him whatever you call him. And he was never a governor or a head of any government. If Moses had lived after Isiah, he would have been perfect for it. So was David. So was Solomon. There was no government resting on the shoulders of Jesus in the presence of Herold. You know it and i know it. The shoulders were even too weak to carry the wooden posts, the reason they got Simon of Syrenne.

No time was he called? he was called these names before his birth, during his
days, after he died and even 600 yrs later when Mhammed was born, he was still called.
Mohamed came to correct this names as u said lols. I just laugh at how people play wit GOD.

I read that. But your are wrong. So the muslims will correct you because we are the followers of the another comforter with absolute truth to correct. Remember that the another comforter is charged with the ability to correct? Know that Jesus was a prophet from his own mouth and the mouths of the true disciples, not the fake one called Paul. And a prophet does not have honor in his home town. And son of man does not have a place to lay his head.

A son that could modify his father's identity falsely is a rebelion. He lacks wisdom. His father was befor him,
he did all kind of good and true works, only for him to come is to deny his fathers true identity.
This must make him an hero of course.
I know a conforter Jesus spoke about, is not Mohammed but the Holy spirit.
So many evidence in the bible explaining the relationship of the Holy Ghost, Mohammed didn't display or prove them.
A confroter shouldn't creat laws that order the killing of christians and pagan, how does this correct/confort?

Alhamdulillah. I am wise enough not to accept your not telling me the truth.

So be it with u as u said, no offence.

It is either you or the disciples, a group is not telling the truth. Please leave Paul out if this, because you will open a can of worms that i do not want to talk about.

U can open whatever, can it be worse than the Koran corrections etc.!!

And where ever Jesus is called prophet in the Bible, we should now agree that whoever said it was a liar? Can you say Jesus and or his disciple[s] were lying when Jesus was called a prophet?

U hold on to the (or one prophet) why not hold on to Jesus as "John the Baptist" or others that say "Elijah", or and still others, that say "Jeremiah"?? or one of the prophets.” if he was a prophet he would just say blessed to those that suggest prophet. instead, he persist to hear his identity from his disciples mouth,  u re the SON of God, the Messaiah. PETER spoke in the spirit while others where in flesh. Jesus knew his identity.

Acts 3 verse 26 reads; New Living Translation (©2007)
When God raised up his servant, Jesus, [/b]he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful ways."
And who is the prophet of DEUT. 18:15, now that Jesus is said not to be a prophet, by you?
Matthew 13:57 [b]And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor."

U see, u cant understand the bible if u read it in the flesh.
He was refaring to prophets in general. each time he speak of himself, he do say the son of man. U really want me to just accept that Jesus Identity is wrong? hahaha, this is unacceptable. U can keep debating on this like many Muslims out there.

I guess I am not confused, but Jesus was also teaching people how to put their faces on the dirt to pray to God, when he was doing that all night long, crying and weeping and begging with it at gethsemane? You need to device a better way to not speak the truth.

There are proofs of many prophets that sinned against God, they sins were seen and withnessed by men, but Jesus was not one of them, Again, he is not a prophet. He never sin nor begGed for forgiveness. even at his last breath, he still prayed to God to forgive them. This is a true divine love of God he has for humanity.

Notice that he was praying on his own. I wonder what a God is praying for and to who? A bigger God? Then the small God is only a god, then. Or do you know the silent prayers [supplication] of Jesus other than what he taught his disciples? That tells you that apart from the salah that he demonstrated all nght long at gethsemane, he supplicated quietly, which he taught his disciples. We muslims supplicate in addition to making salah.

He prayed to his FATHER OF COURSE and till now he is still praying for us.

But will ask The Real God for everything. You see those who pray in facial prostration and supplicate quietly are not God.

As an embodiment of God yes they do things in ways u cant understand. God's ways, is not our ways!.

sweetnecta: the trinity has a pagan origin look it up, notice its nowhere in the bible?

If this is your believe, keep it to u!

what a terribly way to seek recourse.

He blasphemed against the holy spirit. I called him to eat back those words he vomited and asked God for forgiveness what is terrible here?

The speaker of this verse was Isiah! And obviously you didn't say isiah is God, but when Jesus spoke in the same manner of Isiah above, you say Jesus is God! You see how inconsistent you are? One rule for all, but a separate rule for Jesus.

God spoke through Isaiah. So it was God that spoke these words. Isaiah was a prophet, JESUS was and still the Messiah!!, Prophet Isaiah never compared himself with God or Jesus. He is not Mohamed, he spoke the truth prophecy about Jesus and it was accomplished.




One of his prophecy that answer your question is here,

(Isaiah 9:6)For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called[b]Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.[/b]

U read that??

The changing God; is that what God is?

I ve told u in the other thread i will no longer enlighten u on the TRINITY, u ve refused to accept it so let it be to like that.

You are truly a french woman. Sudenly jesus is a prophet and not God here. Can't we for once have stability in his identity? please dont make him a woman o. And in the Lord's prayer, Jesus said forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. A sinless asking for forgiveness? How perfect is that?

Jesus is not a prophet, if I said after JESUS no other prophet was to mean (no other one like him.) i ve never and will never call Jesus a prophet. He is the Messiah, that Mohamed included Jesus in his list of prophets is completely incorrect. Jesus wasn't a prophet. Peter recognized him as the Messiah, son of GOD.

(Matthew 16 :13-16) When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

   15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.

Did Peter say he was a prophet? Sorry i am a Christian, If Jesus could Bless Peter for recongnizing his identity, then i should do the same to obtain his blessing. That Moha change Christ Identity in the Kuran, has nothing to do with Christ followers, instead, its the Muslims that gets burged to know that what they are taught about Jesus Christ is not what Jesus claim he is. Why on earth should u try to change some1 identity?

. And in the Lord's prayer, Jesus said forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. A sinless asking for forgiveness? How perfect is that?

When your child ask u, dad how do i do my home work? and u give him guard lines on how it should be done.
Does that means u are doing same homework as your son? OR does this make u be in same level with your son?

He taught his disciples how to pray, One of them came to him to teach them how to pray.
Read and understand, dont confuse urself.

Luke 11:1-13(KJV)

1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

3Give us day by day our daily bread.

4And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

(He is the bread of life) he will not ask himself for bread, (And forgive us our sins) he was not recorded with a sin, (But deliver us from evil)He is Holy and rightous, he do not need to be delivered from evil.
He taught them this prayer because he knew, he wont be with them all through. And they will pass through all the mentioned in the Prayer he had taught them.

Plap, if the lies told against Jesus is rejected for and on behalf of Jesus, do you have problem in restoring Jesus to his rightful place? That restoration is what Muhammad [as] did.

More grace to his elbows, 

And those who stick stubbornly to lies, what will you call them? is 3 not a lie when you say it is 1? What type of new math is that

Stuborn people are those, who can see the truth but still denies it.
Obviously, anyone who must know and understands how this MATHs operates, must be filled with the spirit of God. Because It is Gods Maths[b]TRINITY[/b]. I will not explain forther for this i ve told u earlier.

zataxs:
@tunnytox don't get it twisted either who said here that hairy chests are indecent?

Hahahaha, it may be indecents if let it exposed in church. I ve never seen any so i guess the men are aware of this so they dont do it.

Holiness Been filled with the spirit of GOD:We all know that to be holy means
separate ourself from evil, by not associating with evil.

The holiness of God is directly related to His righteousness, God alone is to
be worshipped. He alone is separate from evil, but He tolds us to be holy like Him.

In (I Peter 1:16 - 25) Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

As long as God never tells me to do something i'm unable to do, I will commit
myself to separate myself from EVIL and trust that He will enable me to do just that.

I must say that, in my own way of thought, eating, drinking or take even a
walkout with sinners makes me unlean but infact no.I come to discover That
been Holy doesn't mean we should not ve any friends that are not Christians.
I took a look at Jesus in this sense.

He is holy but yet spent time with the social and religious outcasts in His day.
Anyway, he couldn't ve talk to 1 man if he had not talk to a sinners, becos
There wasn’t a person on the earth that was not a sinner at the time except for JESUS.

I think when we associate with those pple our behavior needs to demostrate
that we are different from the people or the evil things surrounding us at that given moment.

Jesus didn’t see his hanging out with sinners as fun thing or just hanging sake.
His hanging with sinners was to reveal their sin, and bring them to repentance
so that they can follow GOD's word.
Or else how would he ve forced them to repent,if he had condomed their behavior?
He couldn’t!!! in his mind it was either repent or perish before God.

Jesus played a great role which made the Pharisees felt he was out of law.
But he is the savior he does things in the spirit.
What the Jews sees as unacceptable that is, wine and dine with impure ppl (sinners),
because it is risky as u may become impure when u do that.

Christ in his Holy being, and as his purpose was to save the lost, he did not abide to this law.
Should he ve put to practice the Jewish law and then abadon his aim?  a capital( NON).
THE SPIRIT OF GOD demostrating in him.

(Galatians 5:16-18) "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law".

Halelluyaaa!!! hahahaha.


He tells the truth, as he is the truth himself. He teaches people nothing but the truth and didn’t care what they thought about it. If he offended any1 when he preached (as he often did offend the Pharisees), then oooh well, Jesus certainly didn’t care. He spoke to his disciples,

“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of
judgment, than for that city.” ( Mark 6:11).

Christ basicaly said, preach to them, If they receive u and repent, great
work, they will be rewarded. If not, just shake off your shoes, and move on to the next “patient to heal. how do u preach to them? we ve to apply Jesus system, draw closer, befriend then voice it out.

Its like when the doctor checked u and discover your illness, gives u prescription
if u want to be healed u will go get your drugs and take them, if not, u just ve to die in that illness.
We go to the doctor to get cured/healed, we dont go for fun rather for purpose and intent.

If we must follow God’s law, we should also follow God’s spirit of love.
Jesus by himself has told us the exact reason why he was hunging with sinners.
When The Pharisees accused him of alway with sinners,See his responds in,

(Luck5:27-32) 27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. "Follow me," Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him. 29 Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" 31 Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."


Jesus certainly be friend to this man(LEVI) who was known as a Tax collectors, seen as impure/sinners, but Jesus was able to make LEVI repent. He took part in the buffet hosted by LEVI, this was how he became his disciple. known as (Matthew) in the bible. meaning: the gift of Jehova.

Thank GOD for his spirit. Brethren in Christ, he has showed us enough example, left for us to carry on.
We should be able to influence people as Christian, win win more souls for him, his blood is like a soap, everyone can afford buying soap to wash up, but yet u still see people dirty outside.
Lets eat with them so they can be wash with this free soap forever AMEN.

A strong part of my identity is that I am a Jew. I think its true to say there is much variety in what Jews believe, but there is stone-solid consistency in what they don’t believe:

Jews don’t believe in Jesus!

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA link=topic=779683.msg9334271#msg9334271 date=1318543327]Nigeria feels so united when christians(plapville) fight against muslims(sweetncta).

[size=16pt]The Gods For Nigeria!!!!!!!![/size] [/quote]If this is how u define fight, am sorry i am not in fight with him.
We ve different belief, sometime debate on matters.
Its a forum here, give ur knowledge to others and also learn from others.
No man is perfect!

My relationship with God is one greatest establisment ever. It is undiscribeable the love God ve for me.
When i check my past, and check how i wasnt fully in contact with God i discover a kind of emptiness.

What a wast living life without JESUS. God's love for us is divine, pure and unconditional.
We are special in his sight, the momen a man choose to embrace God, that is when he will discover the true reason why he/she was created.

God is a life transformer, a tongue translater. When he lives in u, u re been transformed, u now will live a refleting live.
I am proud to announce that i am a member of his kingdom citizen.
God is Good all the time. Seek him, u will be glad u did.

the topic should be(u re free if u ve Jesus Christ)

You are free if you have JESUS. You are not afraid of SATAN and you abandon SIN to get to heaven, you are proud to BE SAVED, you dont envy or get jealous, you look for WAYS to help ur ENEMIES to the TRUTH. you look down on devil in man appearance because he is in a different form or look, seeking to devor u. You become good influence to the people as u re the salt of this earth. U become prosper saving your money and helping the poor.,you will know exactly who you are because JESUS lives in U

Anyone who reject Christ will perish in hall before GOD, believe it or not.

zataxs:
@plappville So you go to the club and show your boxers? But when you are in church you hide them?
Are you confident about your body? Yes or No?

Wht re u talking about? I gave u an example using a club, as in what will the people in there will feel if a deeper life girl go in with their well ranked decent manner of dressing. Does it sound lik i go to club? That is not a life for me. I visit a best place which is the house of God, plz dont twinst my words thanks.

Is the bold not equal to Trinity? Sisi Plappville, na wa for you o. Let be say in Yoruba language; O ga fun e o.

It is Jesus or ready to perish before God.

Thanks for sharing, God is indeed HOLY/PURE.

Seigneur, je viens de te montre que tu es le plus puissance. Soit benis mon grand Dieu.

The worse is he that has refused to love his[b]CREATOR God almighty, The creator of heaven and earth.[/b]

He who worship Idle man made Gods, He who says there is no God. this is the worse!!!!

Even though, u still ve to eat that dirty vomit of urs, no offence to do that God will forgive u for this.

Jenwitemi:
God is a family of three(Trinity); The Father, the mother whose name is Hollie Ghoste(she uses her maiden name because her husband does not have a surname, obviously), and the son. A daughter is on the way to make this bible God a family of four(Quartet) because Hollie Ghoste, the mother, is now pregnant with a baby girl.

Are u from this planet?? If yes kindly eat that vomit of urs and beg him to 4give u for acting foolishly.
