Myer: It is only those whose eyes are veiled by the god of this world that'll interpret such good news that The Lord Himself commanded to be preached throughout the world as a licence to sin, instead of the Power of God to salvation to the Jews first and then, the Gentiles. How on earth can a man share the divine nature with God and still be subject to iniquity? I quoted the scriptures or are you saying the Word of God is untrue? Please back up your belief that Christians should continue to struggle not to sin by trying to observe the laws you listed, with the Word of God or are you just following what they told you since birth? For your information, Col3:3 says it already of the believer; For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God. The believer is dead to sin and it can't have dominion over him. The righteousness of God confers a supernatural nature on the believer. That nature doesn't even know what sin is all about. Its your "homo sapienic" nature that has been sin programmed and that's why it is subject to it. Indeed it can't please God even if it tried. Check this out in Rom 7 from verse 4. " Likewise, my brethren, you have undergone death as to the Law through the [crucified] body of Christ, so that now you may belong to Another, to Him Who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 When we were living in the flesh (mere physical lives), the sinful passions that were awakened and aroused up by [what] the Law [makes sin] were constantly operating in our natural powers (in our bodily organs, in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh), so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness [of life]. 7 What then do we conclude? Is the Law identical with sin? Certainly not! Nevertheless, if it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized sin or have known its meaning. [For instance] I would not have known about covetousness [would have had no consciousness of sin or sense of guilt] if the Law had not [repeatedly] said, You shall not covet and have an evil desire [for one thing and another]. 8 But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment [to express itself], got a hold on me and aroused and stimulated all kinds of forbidden desires (lust, covetousness). For without the Law sin is dead [the sense of it is inactive and a lifeless thing]. 9 Once I was alive, but quite apart from and unconscious of the Law. But when the commandment came, sin lived again and I died (was sentenced by the Law to death).(Study and meditate on the rest of the chapter into the next one) The earlier you believed God's Word, the better for you. When you accept God's free gift of righteousness as against your self effort, you'll find out that you'll stop being so conscious of sin as to be able to list it out the way you did previously on this thread. Rather, you'll start being righteousness conscious and doing right will be natural with you because what's right and how to do it will be engraved on your heart, not on those tablets of stones. Get it right now, NOT EVERYONE IS STRUGGLING WITH SIN THE WAY YOU DO. You can free yourself. You know what to do. Be born again! |

By Standing5: Even my little boy knows the difference between 'tutor' and 'tutors'. He equally knows the way they are applied grammatically in a simple sentence. You are trying to correct what someone has written in English but you are unable to grammatically string a simple sentence correctly. You need the tutor more than anyone else. |

Toktee:we definitely challenge government. This topic isn't about the government,but about men of God acting outside the bible. Sir,do you know why Jesus Said "even birds have house except the son of man"? Am sure you understand the lesson behind "feeding the multitudes". Low reason why Jesus mentioned tithe ONLY once? Remember the rich man and Lazarus?the lesson here emphasises on ensuring helping the poor instead of living a flamboyant life. Sela |

desiredhome: I laugh in swahliii (bolded) So why wouldn't a rich man like you help her by opening her eyes instead of blaming the Bishop? or u are too blind to even speak to her i guess. (Bolded II) the most brainwashed man is the man who thinks he knows it even when his head is completely blank. Secondly, your main problem is not brainwashing but jealousy, anger and frustration from someone's success... Lastly, i know you probably are the one hoping to go to Covenant University but cannot afford the fees. beg instead of complaining.. *I come in peace* |
Re: Oyedepo: Why Nigeria Has Not Changed For Better by desiredhome: 6:26pm On Mar 14, 2021 |
edoairways:And that is why there are churches everywhere, that is making the charlatans to take advantage of to scam the ignorant/gullible Nigerians......... Because many have been brainwashed to believe when they spend their money, time, sacrifice to the church, then everything will be okay for them..... WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT |

soulpeppersoup: You Christians never cease to surprise me. We are talking about a missionary school (Covenant University) which ought to be cheap, you are mentioning a school in Lekki which is obviously not a missionary school. There is something wrong with the black race. We have the richest pastors, and yet the poorest people. Oyedepo is part of the problem of this country. He does not have the will to make the country a better place. If poverty rate is low, how many people will go to church? Because he knows that if the country gets better, he will not have so many sheeples to sell hope to. Imagine that Nigeria has low unemployment and low poverty rate, how many people will want to go to church? People will still be religious, but how many people will want to go and be listening to one motivational speaker calling himself pastor? |

stancydg: You need to marry your theology with the Lord's prayer. To establish the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Does the kingdom you see presently resemble what the kingdom of heaven was described to look like? Now if the Bible says a Christian can no longer sin. That would be great. Cos apparently a lot of verses in the new testament would be redundant and pointless. What's the point of Galatians 5:16-21 when a Christian can no longer sin? 16 I say then: (U)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For (V)the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, (W)so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But (X)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now (Y)the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [f]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that (Z)those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Whats the point of Revelations 3 & 4 where God addresses the 7 churches judging them according to their works? Whats the point of Revelations 21:7-8 if a Christian can no longer sin? He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and (O)I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 (P)But the cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in (Q)the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” |

Myer: May the Lord remove the veil over your eyes so that you can clearly decipher. You mix so many things up. In the same Gal 5 you quoted, verse 18 tells you how different you are from those earlier described but still couldn't get it. Why do you think the author had to state that "If you're led by the Spirit, YOU'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW? Always study and meditate in context, so you can distinguish when scripture is referring to the lifestyle of sinners and also stating the reality of the New Life in Christ. Also, there are times when the old testament life is also being referred to in the new. Most times, a picture of what it was like has to be painted so that those who are in the babyhood stage can grow up and take their glorious inheritance. My advice, meditate on all those scriptures again, slowly. I pray the Holy Spirit helps you too. |

Myer: Good evening bro. I thought I should correction a wrong knowledge here about GRACE...GRRACE correctly defined: is a devine empowerment and ability to do the right thing and live the way God wants us to live(righteousness). By this definition, it becomes clear that Grace actually is the very reason why a Christian should not sin as oppose to what your comment implies... Whoever indulges sin on account of GRACE, is wrong and was informed by wrong knowledge. Remain bless my brother and may God help us all. |
