The Purpose Of God For Making Us Christians by ochibuogwu5(op): 5:31am On Jan 03, 2020
Acts 26:16 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,
Re: The Purpose Of God For Making Us Christians by ochibuogwu5(op): 6:06am On Jan 03, 2020
Acts 26:15-20 English Standard Version (ESV)
15 And I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, 17 delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you 18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

19 “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance.

Acts 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

In the first place, where, in the Bible, did God or Jesus call you Christians? Where did God or Jesus has ordered you people to be going to church every Sunday or Saturday? And, if you claim that Jesus ever went to church on Sundays or Saturdays, kindly show us the name of church he used to go. Also, don't forget to show us the type of Bible he used then.

Whether you people like it or not, Christianity will remain a fabricated religion by Saint Paul. Saint Paul that has never seen Jesus when he(Jesus) was on the surface of the Earth founded Christianity, and at Antioch was where some people were first called Christians after Jesus has gone.

Why does Jesus need Paul after the 11 remaining disciples?

This same Paul that came last wrote more NT Books that the combined 11 disciples!

Fraud!

Don't mind this man he has vowed not to believe anything but Allah and Mohammed trying to preach or talk sense to him is like pouring water on a rock

You are right! Here are the verses:

Numbers
Chapter 31
7-12

7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. 9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. 12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

I wonder what Christians have to say about this? Using their own criteria against them this makes their God a false violent God. So once again Christians should not throw stones if they live in a glass house.

17-18
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves

What do Christians have to say to this? This is their God commanding Moses to kill the women and CHILDREN and to keep the virgins alive.

There is no excuse here! None! He was not forgiving and merciful at all.
Keep virgins alive for yourself is similar to what BH is doing with Chibok girls and other girls they kidnapped.

Lol..... Sorry, because I know you are pained. Kindly, do yourself and people like you a favour by proving me wrong. Use your scripture, bible, that you claim to be word of God to debunk my points here. Give us biblical verses that counter my points, please and stop crying here.

Saint Paul was the only person that purposely destroyed what Jesus brought to this World. He(Paul), the pathological liar, wrote more than 50% of the Bible apart from the Old Testament o, and the lost sheep(christians) are not aware of this fact. They keep worshipping Paul ignorantly.

Ah! May we never go astray!!!

So you deny Yahweh and Elohim right? Please type that Yahweh and Elohim in the above verses is not your God.

There's no religion called Judaism or Christianity in the Bible.

When you face me you'll have no escape route!

Our *immediate response to sharing the gospel and life of the Cross of Jesus Christ* in this generation that can be effective and not be quenched by indecision, sluggishness, or consulting fire-extinguishers.

Acts 9:20 King James Version (KJV)
20 And *straightway he preached Christ* in the synagogues, that *He is the Son of God.*

how did God give birth to him? If God is able to do all things, why does he need a son?

2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men(to receive the gospel of the Cross of Jesus Christ instantly); but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Thank You Jesus Christ Crucified; My Persuasion!!!

1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know *how much every man had gained by trading*.
