May God forgive u nd grant u insight

No, you are the one that basically needs insight. Insight implies the ability to discern, in an in-depth way, what something or someone entails. In other to have a comprehensive insight of something, you need to analyze it to its bits, which of course requires having different methods and views towards the subject. And it seems you lack such methods. Until then, he has a better insight that you do.

The Bible says No one can reach the Father except through the Father and that unless A Man accepts Christ as his personal Christ and Saviour ,such a person shall not make heaven of have access to Eternal life ( John 3:16) .

My question is,What happened to the Likes of Abraham,David ,Solomon and all these before Christ was born?? What was the Criteria for their own salvation since Christ was not born at the time??
Were they saved By the Good works day did ?? If so,why Do we need Christ in d First place when The People that were born before Christ still made it to Heaven.??

A confused fellow here..Answers are needed pls ??

OP this shows me that boys are still children. U need to experience Christ and this is a personal decision. Once you have an encounter with Him, u will never be confused any more. Try Him first and thank me later! Ok?

mind u dt Jesus said dt b4 Abraham he was. Christ is d Word. d Word came 2 them & they believed & it was counted unto them as righteousness. call me on me on ds number if u wish 2 know more 08036376979.

Trinity should help answer your questions. God the father, God the Son and God the holy spirit. Remember they work as one.

During the time of David, they recognize the supremacy of God the father and they submitted to his will and work in his ways.

I guess you know about God the son and God the holy spirit.......

Just ask your pastor to explain God the father, son and holy spirit. I guess your answers would be found in that line.

rubbish. Don't spew trash here about the trinity.

a man and woman who unites together to bear a child makes up a trinity. U need to study ancient history of your ancestors which are still me and u cos we have been here right from the beginning not some rubbish written by aliens to enslave u. Break free today.

Jesus is the only way to heaven. He is God revealed to mankind!! To answer your question: These people believed God, and it was counted as righteousness. How do I know? Romans 4 vs 3 says Abraham believed God.. He believed the good news (gospel) which is that through his seed (Jesus), the whole world will be blessed. For every other person that lived and died before Jesus, the gospel was preached to them by Jesus himself. In 1peter, the bible says Jesus by his spirit (the holy spirit) preached to those that are now dead.

Everyone, will always get an opportunity to realise that there is a supernatural power that runs the universe and is interested in man, he isn't interested in your works or your attempts to please him, all you have to do is rest in his wonderful display of love and mercy for humanity (which we now know is Jesus); if u believe?? Great!! If you don't?? Hhmn!!

[b][size=13pt]the story of christ is filled with ancient lies and so are the stories of all other prophets and gods,be he christ, mohammed, budda, shango etc.i dont know how a people of this modern age can still belive this fairy tale stories just becus it was brought to us by the whites.....every religion claims to be the truth and god says he loves us and we must love him back and if we dont, he will put us in hell, i always wonder which kind of love that is and i know only a blood thirsty villan would act like that.

Of all the gods in the world, that of the bible is the most stupid, mad and deranged and i sincerly will never accept him, if salvation is only gotten through him,i choose to go to hell rather than be a slave to such a wicked beast

A beast that would send a bear to eat 52 children for laughing at a bald elijah.
A beast that would drown a whole world that he claim to love and made in his image
A beast that would sanction the massacre rape and murder of women and children by moses.
A beast who build the most horrifying torture chamber to torture those he claim to love because they couldnt belive in him.
A beast that tolorated slavery.
A beast that watched jephtah sacrify his daughter to him as his promise if he wins a war.
A beast that watched the sacrifing of his only begotten son so that he could forgive man by grace.
A beast that watch over all the suffering of the world and does nothing to ameliorate it

I refuse to worship you, you ethernal beast and vile creator, no wonder other angel supported satan in his bid to overthrow you despotic ass........i have chosen my side if the armagadon is ever true....i will ride with lucifer on that day against you army and this time i know we will succeed and put you in the bottomless pit that you created for your beloved ones[/b]s.[/size][/b]

HMMMM, MY BROTHER, WITH ALL WHAT YOU'VE SAID, I CAN SEE THAT YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT GOD THAN ALL THESE PEOPLE CASTIGATING YOU. BUT YOU HAVE ONLY MISUNDERSTOOD IT ALL.

FIRST, GOD IS LOVE AND HE CAN NEVER BURN PEOPLE IN FIRE, SEE JEREMIAH 29:11, chapter 7:31,he said the thought of burning people disgusts him. People are only telling lies about God. Satan wants us to hate God that is why he has been spreading such lies about God thereby spoiling his name.

It pains God what is happening on earth today but If you take your time to study the story from the beginning, you will realize that God is just been a God of justice. For peace to reign, lives will be lost, blood will flow, the innocent will suffer. There's a big difference between allowing and causing something to happen. In this case God is only allowing these things to happen, he is not the cause.

You might say it's taking too long, but remember, a thousand years in our own Calendar is like a day in God's own counting. Soo you see, when we count 1000years, God is only counting 24hours.

I'd love to tell you more but time is not friendly.

Christians has the number of people here on earth yet they are the one that has the most problems., jumpitfrom one church to another seeking either financial breakthrough or anything else. I laff in swahili. By the time the Jews are done with you all religious men and women but thanks to people fighting to save humanity if not by now we all we be slaves to the Jews. Save yourself there is no one to save u

trash!!!!

Judas betrayed jesus right. What then happen to him, how, where nd when did he die? Where was he buried? Who are those that witnesed his burial? Can somebody give me biblical account of this. Bible quotes pls, not illogical myths.

BigElEddy:
The bible and all other "spiritual" books have too many unanswered question. One of the many reasons many people don't do religion anymore. To me, live your life right and do good by your conscience. If there is a God out there, the only thing he gave to man to guide his ways is his conscience and not any book be it Bible or Quran. If God actually sent us a book he would make it easy for anyone and everyone to understand it easily.

see as i dey look u, I PITY U.

SuperSuave:
they were talking to God then without Jesus the medium who died for us.

How could he die for you, what sin have u committed?

I have one question for you and answer it honestly. The US government is known as the most powerful government in the world, theoretically. The question is, will the USA allow outside threats or damages to affect its citizens. Yes or No? Don't waffle about. If your answer is yes , then I'd believe you're being hypocritical. If no, then you should reconsider your statement above.

My friend you have not been to heaven so you don't know what it entails. You can go by some books written for guidance or you can go by faith. The bolded part of your statement is intended to demean Islam and it's just sickening. If you cared to read the Quran, you would realize that the Islamic version of heaven is very similar to Christianity's version. Both promises paradise and paradise can mean different things to different people. You mention alcohol but in reality the word used was "wine" and I hope you know wine can also be non alcoholic?

The alcohol part was not to deride them. I have picked up severally that is the reason they are told to abstain from alcohol on earth.

I did not use the 77 virgins because I have heard a lot of them refute it.

I have also gotten the Christian heaven is dull

I have not been to heaven but I have the Bible which makes me believe in heaven in the first place.

THIS IS SIMPLY! In the book of Genesis, the Bible says let "US" create man in our image. Then ask ur self who is that "US" (God the father, Son and Holy spirit). The new testament says "THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH" = THE SON. "in the beginning was the word and word was with God" which means the SON has being from the beginning. This statement alone has made us understand that before Abraham,Jesus was born.
Gen 1:2 " the spirit of God was moving over the water"= THE HOLY SPIRIT
This principle of Trinity says it all :
Each in each
All in each
All in all
All is one. = THE TRINITY IN ONE GOD

A very dangerous way to live, it'll be too late to discover the truth when you're dead. The better option is to search for the truth now and stick with it and you're safe for eternity, I've found mine and it is Christ and Christianity.

" The kingdom of God is like a HIDDEN TREASURE field which a man sought with all his might and after he has found it, he sold all he has and bought that field " - Jesus Christ (emphasis mine)

And you know this how please?

The Bible

Amynature:
People like Abraham, David, Solomon and others as you said, they have the fear of God in them. Mind you Christ has been in existence before them.( Christ has been in God since the creation of the world). So they tried there best to work out there salvation, by keeping to the laws and commandments of God. Some obtain there salvations through obedience, while others by faith.

duh! Those people that kill people just to take their wives? Abi the ones that married women from all over the world with different gods? Seriously how do people still believe the bible?

Religion appears to be the most confusing occultism, there is. Reason is, its masterminds are utterly confused.

the Bible say for as many as are dead without the law shall be judge without the law and as many that died with the law shall be judge with the law. Christ came to abolish sins that was temporarily removed by blood of the lamp and bull.
