Lol.. the Bible and the Quran are interpreted or misinterpreted in a lot of ways.. But who decides the wrong or right one..You can't tell me Yahoo is bad because of when Jacob did Yahoo in the Bible .. He went to his father as Esau to for blessing ..... In this day and age, we'll say 'he wise up'.. 'e ja re e', ' omo ogbon'.. There is no universal truth. Truth is subjective

Don't let me bash your head into a wall for saying "no universal truth".

Man can not walk through walls is not a universal truth; or man does not walk on water is not a universal truth; or Mr Toyoda is the maker of Toyota, is not a universal truth; or if I cut off your head from your body and you must die, is not a universal truth; if I set you in fire, you shall burn black and die, is not a universal truth!

Guy just shut up and let us watch this movie

It's not by force to accept other people's opinion on issues, so just make your presentation and leave others, it's OK!

Ah bros take am easy now. The loaves of bread Jesus used to feed 5k people na spiritual abi .

And you saying jesus was against giving all your belongings is false. Check the book of Matthew 26 from verse 6
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”

Mind you while she poured that perfume on him, he was smiling and happy. When one of his deciples questioned that action, he simply rebuked them and told them the woman did a wise thing.

Miracles differs from material provisions Sir!

He did so many things due to his God's given power.

What we're saying is none of what Jesus did to help people cost him a dime!

KingAzubuike:
Remember the book of luke 18 verse 18 where a rich man asked Jesus what he must do to have eternal life and avoid damnation.

Jesus simply told him as seen in verse 22 that Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me

Can you just imagine? Encourage someone to sell off his sweat and be poor all for him to enjoy eternal life? The Bible simply encourages people to be poor . It's so pathetic.

Cc Twinkletwin

Even if the man repented later on (if at all), do you know what manner of regret he will still have right now?

We're trying to compare Heavenly treasures with passing treasures of earth: very strange.

The thing is we shouldn't try to use or read what doesn't belong to us in the first place, to avoid unnecessary confusions or questions.

Let's imagine why a Dog is wondering why it's master always have clothes or shoes on; or goes to school, spends money, buys cars etc.

If a dog has to become A Man to understand Man, likewise, we've got to be God's Children to understand Him.

Thanks for the Ezekiel 7 you qouted...

However, this is what God requires of his Children:

Phil.4.12 - I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have LEARNED THE SECRET of being "content" in any and "every" situation, whether "Well Fed" or "Hungry", whether living in Plenty or in Want.

May Jesus bless you.

you're the one helping someone , how will it ever cost you in the first place? It's the person that needs the help that will bear the consequences now just like the book of Luke 14 :26.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ” —

My point is people shouldn't go through pain and suffering all because they want to serve him. Neither should there be a bias towards the poor and a natural hatred fr the rich.. as if that isn't enough, he even obligated them to give off their sweat to the poor as a criteria for making heaving ....who does that

That's why i told you from the beginning, ask questions to grasp what Jesus meant by those words!

You need not run to conclusion because Jesus is not just a human like us, he was a mighty spirit creature in heaven before he was transformed into human.

So most of what he said has totally different meaning from what a layman will conclude after listening to his words!

The spirit of giving is what Jesus illustrated but it goes beyond material possessions, remember that he taught by laying foundation of what he meant. So if he never gave anyone a dime, how come you concluded that he was talking about material possessions?

Just be calm Sir, i belong to his group that's teaching people globally, ask for what he meant and i will expatiate on the topic, but if you feel you don't need it then you can continue with your preconceptions but i'm assuring you now that Jesus wasn't talking about material possessions per say!

just pity you op and all the people supporting not helping the poor ,it is clearly demanded. example the rich man and lazarus
Hell is waiting for you if you don't distribute your wealth,you will be shocked on the last day you will be burning hell and the money you said you worked hard for will not save you and that poor man you said was lazy will be at the right hand of God.

So, you're worried about hell in the Christian perspective. Why aren't you worried about the Buddhist or Taoist hell? At least you're heathen to them as well

Of all the religions in the world, christian's are the nastiest . They threaten you with hell and doom if you fail to become one of them. Worse is they can threaten you anywhere. You find them in buses, roadside sharing pamphlet, a stranger will walk up to you, thinking he needs help or money but he's actually coming to threaten you with hell and doom if you fail to accept Christianity. They even come to your house and doorstep to threaten your life. More disappointing is the fact that if you compare the life and standard of living of threatner to the threatened, you begin to wonder who is actually the "unbeliever " between the two. Very pathetic. Muslims generally don't give a damn if you're a Muslim or not, what they don't just like is blasphemy. But for Christian's, it's a must you become one of them else you be condemed to eternal damnation, hell and suffering because they're "winning souls for Christ" .

They are not real my brother. let me tell you a story my CRS teacher was a hardcore Muslim his father was even an imam,the man was seriously wealthy then one day an angel appeared to my now Crs teacher and told him that Islam is fake that if he doesn't repent he will be dammned in hell and the one true religion is Christianity.Today he is a teacher and a pastor ,his father seized all his cars from him,all the money but he still did not care.

lol... Cool!!! But the experience of your teacher isn't enough proof to show that the Christian hell or heaven is real. He had a dream and everyone literally dreams. So, how can be demonstrate that what he saw in his dream is real?
As for the Indian man, LMAO.. Maybe he could have used another approach. A bullet cannot be stopped with prayer. It has been demonstrated

Your teacher was only hallucinating. Of all the 4500+ religions in the world, an angel appeared to him and told him Christianity is the real one . Very laughable.
