Family › Re: Help Me Loosen My Brother's Grip On Me. by Righteousness2(m):
You have a great brother! He may be too tight on you but it is for your own good.

The street is too bad and Wicked!
Many ladies you see out there are Walking corpse. So many have been used for Sacrifices by the Wicked men out there in the Name of wealth.

You will come to appreciate your brother in time to come

Atimjessy:
I just signed up on nairaland today so I can just pour out my mind.
I have been coming to this site for almost a year now because this is where I get latest and trending news.
I live with my brother who cares about me a lot but he has been too strict with me. I FEEL CAGED! Can you imagine I don't have a Facebook account, I can't use WhatsApp, I don't even have a bank account. If someone wants to send me money, I usually use our neighbor's son account.
He monitors my calls and contact list.
I only use e-mail because he said I will be using it for future registrations.
I envy my friends a lot. I'm in my mid-teens.
I am just fed up.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Palestinians Warn Of Religious War If Jews ‘storm’ Temple Mount (Pics) by Righteousness2(m):
The Word of God is so alive in the world!

Its hard to keep up with all the bible prophecy being set in place right now.

Zechariah 12:2-3
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
The world seems to be Falling apart but in the real sense it is Falling into Place Just as JESUS said it will.

Warn your Brothers, Sisters and friends, it doesn't matter if they scold you.
Warn your family, it doesn't matter if they disown you.
Warn your co-workers, it doesn't matter if you are fired.

Tell Everyone you come across to Buckle up, and run into JESUS Christ in Total Repentance and Surrenderness!

Sound it on the roof top, Market Place and wherever! Tell the people to Be Ready and Live Ready!

The Trumpet is Fixing to Blast!
JESUS Christ is at the Door!
Behold ! The Bridegroom Cometh!

You don't want to be Here to witness what comes next! Run with all your Might and Strength to JESUS Christ.

The Moment you kick the bucket, what Matters on that side is if you Have a Genuie relationship with JESUS Christ. If you Believed in JESUS as your LORD and Savior and Lived for HIM.

If you didn't! It is unfortunate! It is Straight to Hell! A Place of continuous torments, Pains ,Lamentations and regrets.

Let us make Good use of the Opportunity and Privilege of breath we have right now to Surrender to JESUS Christ and Make HIM Lord and Saviour of your Life.

Christianity Etc › Re: Does The Bible Really Condemn Marrying More Than One Wife? by Righteousness2(m): 10:47am On Mar 13, 2022
Continue Decieving yourself! When you Stand before the ALMIGHTY, you tell HIM , HE was talking about this or that.
Very funny bunch of humans


linearity:
Jesus was talking about divorce and marrying those that are divorced.

No where in these passages did he mention marrying one wife. He made them ‘Male & Female’ does not say anything about one man, one wife. It is referring to the two distinct genders that God created. The same reference was made during the time God was to destroy the world through flood and he asked Noah to get all animals into the ark ‘Male & Female’.

You refer to the Old Testament, but nothing in the laws then or in the Ten Commandments forbids marrying more than one wife, if it was a grievous sin, I do not think it would have been overlooked in the laws and in the commandments.

Lastly, it was widely practiced in the old days by even men ‘after God’s heart’. Each time these men sinned against God, He sends his prophet to go warn them and ask them to repent and turn back to him, not once in the entire Bible did God rebuked or send His prophets to rebuke someone because they married more than one wife.

That said, marrying more than one wife is a huge undertaking and a financial drain; I wouldn’t advise even my enemy to do it.

Christianity Etc › Re: 8 Groups Of People Bound For Hell by Righteousness2(m):
Absolutely!

OP your write looks similar to Something I Believe GOD ministered to me some days ago. But this time it was about " Believers"

BELIEVERS /Christians WHO WILL MISS HEAVEN

1. COMPROMISING BELIEVERS
:
Believers who are carried away with the crowd. They claim to be believers but cannot stand Bodly and Courageously for Christ.

2. UNGODLY BELIEVERS:
They claim to be Christians and to be Born-again, but you cannot Differentiate anything between them and Unbelievers.

3. LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS:
They are neither here nor there! They are Neither Hot nor Cold. JESUS Christ says HE will Spue them out HIS Mouth.

4. FOOLISH CHRISTIANS/ BELIEVERS:
These ones have no understanding of the ways and workings of GOD. The oil in their Spiritual lamp is drying or dried up. Infact some of them have become agents of devil to Fight the Gospel. They are the opposite of the sons of Issachar, who had Understanding of the times.

5. BELIEVERS WHO ARE NOT WATCHING AND PRAYING : These are Believers whose Spiritual life is Dead. They have been overshadowed by the World. The things of GOD have become a burden to them. With all the Signs of the Endtimes, they are not moved. They believe they have time.

When they see one steadily preaching the Gospel of the Coming of JESUS Christ, they are annoyed in their spirits.

6. BELIEVERS/CHRISTIANS who Live the Christian life according to their own way:
They Live according to their feelings and ways and not the Way of GOD and HIS Word.

7. BELIEVERS/CHRISTIANS WHOSE LOVE HAS GROWN COLD: These ones claim to be Christians but in reality they have left GOD. Infact they don't even believe the things of GOD anymore. They may be going to church, but they don't depend or rely on GOD anymore.

8. BELIEVERS/ CHRISTIANS who Place GOD SECONDARY IN THEIR LIFE AND AFFAIRS:
These ones have Shifted the Place of GOD in their lives. Vanities, and Earthly accomplishments have taken the place of GOD in them. They can attend to Earthly things with all seriousness and Diligence but attend to the things of GOD anyhow. Late to Church, no personal time for GOD, etc

Wake up Folks!
Don't Deceive yourself!Tell yourself the truth, know where you are and quickly make amends, because there is no more time!
JESUS Christ is Coming.

Another Climate this or Climate that conference.

All these so called this or that on the Weather pattern is a waste of time and resources.

Listen! There is nothing any Group, Nation, leader or whatever can do about the Climate .
The Changes in the Weather Patterns are simply the Signs that owner and Creator of Heaven and Earth , told us will Happen just before He Comes.

What we are witnessing now is nothing! There is going to be more crazy weather pattern leading to the RAPTURE and more Crazier in the Great Tribulation.

Instead of wasting time and resources in all these conferences, you guys should Organize Conference to study the Holy Bible especially the Book of Revelation, so you can have an Understanding of what is happening and what is Coming.

The Globalist and actors are playing their parts according to the Word of GOD, the Holy Bible.

What is playing out right now is a " Testing the Mic" Exercise for what is Coming.

Go read the book of Revelation to Have an Understanding of what 4 Horsemen are Coming with.

The Main Dish will play out once the Bride of JESUS ( The Church) , is taken out, which is the About to Happen.
I tell You , you don't want to be here to partake in what is Coming.

Take your Relationship with GOD very Highly Serious.

Christianity Etc › Re: Sin Doesn't Take People To Hell by Righteousness2(m): 6:28pm On Mar 10, 2022
michaelwestern:
I agree that after you get saved it is beneficial to live according to the commandments of God. But the way you do this is by fellowshipping with God, studying the word of God and allowing God to change your life, not by thinking that God is angry with you or condemning you anytime you commit sin, this belief puts Christians in bondage. As a Christian the ultimate goal of our life is to be in a state of perfect Communion with God, so I am not advocating that Christians should live in sin, but my point is that sin can not make you lose your salvation

You can either make heaven by grace or by works but it can never be by grace plus works because that implies that Grace is not enough and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is more than enough. Also believe me, if it is by works then nobody is going to heaven.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6
Bro! Heaven is not by luck or Chance! Don't let this compromise grace message being put around Deceive you. Grace is not a License to Sin.
Romans 6:1 says will you remain in sin that grace may abound ? GOD Forbid.

Heaven is a Prepared place for Prepared People. There is a path to Heaven! There is also a Path to Hell!

The Bible calls the Path to Heaven a Narrow way and calls the Path to Hell a Broadway.
The Path to Heaven is too Narrow to contain sin.

Don't joke with Sin!
Don't play sin!
What you do with sin is to repent from it and ask JESUS to wash and Clean you up.

The Grace of GOD is what Helps us to do away and stay away from sin. The Grace of GOD is not ticket for you to sin.

GOD is Holy! HIS eyes are too Pure to behold Iniquity.Heaven is Holy!

Don't Deceive yourself with Sin and say You in Grace! You are Decieving yourself ooo!

Strive towards Holiness and Purity! Ask GOD to Help you! Give yourself to the Word of GOD. The More you give yourself to GOD and HIS Word, the More Grace you receive! It is not by power!

A Word is enough for the wise!

Christianity Etc › Re: Sin Doesn't Take People To Hell by Righteousness2(m):
michaelwestern:
I agree. Which is why I said that the only sin that will take people to hell is not believing in Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for sins.



They are sins, but Jesus Christ already paid the price for all of them.



I agree with the passage but it only applies to people who have not accepted the forgiveness for those sins. Like I said earlier, Jesus Christ already paid the price for all those sins, so the only condition under which any of those things will take anybody to hell fire is if they don't accept the forgiveness for the sins, then it can take them to hell fire. But once you get born again then those sins can't take you to hellfire. All your sins have been forgiven past, present and future. All you have to do is believe and receive the forgiveness for all those sins.
JESUS Christ has Paid the Price for the redemption of Man but Man Must Subscribe to the Price that was paid.

Man has a Part to Play. JESUS paid the Price but HE will not Force to Believe. HE tells you what to do and gives you the Freedom of Choice to choose.

For Man to be Saved, He Must Subscribe to JESUS Christ and Live according to HIS Command.
