Mumu. Who is a stronger demon than your Jesus?

Deut 4:28
And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

The religions of wood and stone: Christianity, symbolized by the wooden cross that Jesus died on, and Islam, who worships a black stone housed at the Kaaba in Mecca The Religion of the Stone

The Will of God is Jesus Christ, God's Law and Covenant, the Constitution in His special Nation of priests - Exodus 19 vs 6 - aka the Kingdom of God. God commands obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ as the only way to be saved from the condemnation of sin as well as from sin itself, and only those who stand faithful until the end will be saved. undecided

“Believe in Jesus”​—Is Belief in Jesus Enough for Salvation?

Christians believe that Jesus died for the sins of humankind. (1 Peter 3:18) However, salvation requires more than believing in Jesus as Savior. The demons know that Jesus is “the Son of God,” but they face destruction, not salvation.—Luke 4:41; Jude 6.




What must I do to be saved?

1) You must believe that Jesus sacrificed his life for our sins. (Acts 16:30, 31; 1 John 2:2)
This includes believing that Jesus was a real person and that all of what the Bible account says about him is accurate.

2) Learn what the Bible really teaches. (2 Timothy 3:15)
The Bible says that the apostle Paul and Silas told a jailer: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will get saved.” Then, after that, they began to teach “the word of Jehovah” a to the jailer. (Acts 16:31, 32)

This indicates that the jailer could not truly believe in Jesus unless he had a basic understanding of God’s Word. He needed accurate knowledge based on the Scriptures.—1 Timothy 2:3, 4.

3). Repent. (Acts 3:19)
You must also repent, or feel deep sorrow, over previous wrong attitudes and conduct. Your repentance will be obvious to others as you stop practices that offend God and do “works that befit repentance.”—Acts 26:20.

4)Get baptized. (Matthew 28:19) Jesus said that those who become his disciples would be baptized. The jailer mentioned earlier was baptized. (Acts 16:33) Similarly, after the apostle Peter taught a large crowd the truth about Jesus, “those who gladly accepted his word were baptized.”—Acts 2:40, 41.

5) Obey Jesus’ instructions. (Hebrews 5:9)
Those who “observe all the things” that Jesus commanded show by their life course that they are his followers. (Matthew 28:20) They become “doers of the word and not hearers only.”—James 1:22.

6) Endure to the end. (Mark 13:13) Jesus’ disciples “need endurance” in order to be saved. (Hebrews 10:36) For example, the apostle Paul maintained strict obedience to Jesus’ teachings and loyalty to God, and he endured in this course from the day he became a Christian until he died.—1 Corinthians 9:27.


Bible verses about belief in Jesus and salvation

Matthew 24:13: “The one who has endured to the end will be saved.”

Meaning:
To gain salvation, people must maintain their faithfulness throughout their life.

Acts 16:30, 31: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will get saved.”

Meaning:
Belief in Jesus is necessary to attain salvation.

1 Timothy 2:3, 4: “This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.”

Meaning:
Belief in Jesus must be based on accurate knowledge of Bible truth.

Hebrews 5:9: “[Jesus] became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those obeying him.”

Meaning:
To gain salvation, people must both know and obey Jesus’ commands.



The thief on the cross got his salvation just by believing in Jesus. The word is not complicated.

The thief on the cross did many things.

He gave justice where Jesus got injustice. He gave light while Jesus was plunged into darkness He condemned the evil while honouring and respecting the good.

Therefore, thief gave righteousness and did it

The thief did to Jesus what Jesus came to do for us.

Jesus gsve the good and got the good according to The Law!

That is why the thief made it.

So are your deeds good or evil?

This is all nonsense. EVERYONE ends up in 'heaven' - our real home as souls, eventually.

What you 'believe' in your temporal human form is completely irrelevant.

Only Satan shall set you free, not Jesus. Jesus is not real.

The story of Jesus was copied from the snake/Satan (black savior) story in the book of Genesis, which is an ancient African creation story that has been told for thousands of years before they was even a God called Jevovah or Yaweh.

However, when white people came to world power from 332 BC, they blackmailed the black Satan of Genesis in order to create white Jesus who never existed.

If you really love your Jesus and want to know where the story began, go to www.africason.com and read the article that says "what is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world

The thief did not enter into the Kingdom of God because as Jesus Christ made clear, except a man be born again, He cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. The thief on the cross was an Israelite and according to God's Old Law, salvation from Death was granted to all those who obey God's rule in Ezekiel 18 vs 1 - 32 and Ezekiel 33 vs 10 - 20 which is what the thief obeyed instead. undecided

Anything you want to worship go ahead buh make sure you put God first

Happy Sunday to everyone here on nairaland
There's no way you will believe in Jesus and not believe in God. Jesus said "I'm the way, the truth, the life. There's no way to access the father except through me. The bible encourages us to look up to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus is enough for us!!! He's our medium through who we access God.

Belief alone is not enough though it is the first thing. You have to be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins and find the Church of Christ nearest you for worship

Please stop bring your Thomas fuller quote like it's a scripture verse. The thief gave righteousness? Someone who was unrighteous gave righteousness? Didn't know you can give what you don't have. Indeed, he gave it. Show me where it is said that by your good deeds/works, you shall be saved?. The scripture that says human righteousness is like a filthy rag before God seems to have suddenly disappeared from your Bible? Isaiah 64:6, Romans 3 : 23.

The thief gave justice? Indeed, as who? He was the judge? He was a condemned sinner, how could a sinner give justice? Who needed his justice? Jesus?

The thief did what Jesus came to do, really? How? Being a sinner and being made sin are two different things. Please, let's be rightly dividing the word of truth.

What's the kingdom of God and where is it?

Secondly, You can't use your head to comprehend scripture, you need to first understand what the scripture is, why was it given and how. If you don't understand these 3, you have no idea what the letters in the Scripture mean and just in case you think you know what the letter mean, lemme remind you that you don't know the letters as the pharisees, saducees and the scribes, the sanhedrins and all, they knew the torah and Talmud yet they had no idea of what salvation was, of what Gospel was, they had no life(according to the words of Jesus in John 5: 39 - 40).

1. Depends on your reason for asking. The Kingdom of God is God's special Nation of priests which God promised to make of the people of Israel, i.e, the Lost sheep of Israel - Exodus 19 vs 6 & Matthew 15 vs 22 - 24 undecided

2. Spare me the rambling, please! Are you instead saying here that Jesus Christ lied when He declared that the only way to gain access into the KIngdom of God is to be born-again? undecided
