babyosisi:Hey Babyosisi, the reason i refered to John 17:3 is that Jesus said that everlasting life will be gotten through ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE of God and the one he sent Jesus. Paul talked about true christianity as one baptism. the true christians of the first century did not have different denominations. Most morden day "Christian" denominations have different beliefs and practices, most of which are not even from the Bible. They engage in practices that are not beffiting of those claiming to follow Christ (No 1 eg Politics ).Well all i am saying is that REGARDLESS OF WHAT PEOPLE THINK, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE IDEA OF DIFFERENT ROADS TO GOD AND SUBSEQUENTLY DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS Might i also add that i am not SDA ![]() |
When the Bible says that the Harlot and Satan join hans in misleading the whole world, for something written two thousand years ago, its very fufilment has unfolded even right in front of our eyes, even right here on this forum. JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES PAYED TAXES, PAUL HAD A TENT MAKING BUSINESS. BUT NEITHER JESUS NOR ANY OF THE TRUE FIRST CENTURY CHRISTIANS 1 PARTICIPATED IN POLITICS OF ANYFORM 2 SUPPORTED ANY HUMAN GOVERMENT OF ANY SORT. 3 JOIN IN MILITARY SERVICE TO ANY NATION 4 PRAYED FOR THE WELL BEIGN OF THER "NATION" EVEN WHEN THEIR "NATION" WAS UNDER ATTACK. 5 PLEDGED ALLIGIANCE TO ANY NATION THESE THINGS ARE INCOMPACTIBLE WITH TRUE CHRISTIANITY. Jesus and his apostles had the ability to raise the dead, heal the sick, render righteous judgement, comfort the depressed etc If participation in human politics and rulership was acceptable according to what you guyz are claiming, they should have taken on rulership and SHOWN OTHERS HOW TO RULE, BUT DID THEY? NO, THEY FLED FROM POLITICS LIKE IT WAS A PLAGUE COZ THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY COULD ONLY PLEDGE ALLIGIANCE TO ONE SINGLE GOVERMENT, THAT OF GOD. THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT HUMAN RULERSHIP WAS WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE DEVIL AND COULD THAT THEY COULD NOT EVEN TOUCH IT WITH A ONE MILE POLE. CHRISTIADOM IS ON A ONE WAY ROAD NOW, HEADED STRAIGHT OFF INTO DESTRUCTION ALONG WITH ALL HUMAN GOVERMENTS. The 1st century christians were persecuted fiercly by both the Jewish system, and the Roman state for their not pledging alligiance to the state. But they chose to die than take part in human politics. Jesus prayed for Gods kingdom to come, the only Goverment that true Christians should pledge alligiance to. When that kingdom starts to rule on Earth, then the kingdoms of this world will indeed become the kingdom of our Lord. The more i discuss about this the more i see why Christiandoms judgement by God will have no Mercy in it. She deserves it every single step of the way. What a wicked Harlot |
At Tayo D keep on denying the truth. What Spotless church . The one currently mired and soiled from the politics of this world.If you want to really know what God plans to do with human rulership READ THE FFG SCRIPTURES ESP Rev, i posted it for you before n il post it again Christiandom and other false religious religions are prostituting themselves to political powers, and Christiandom rather than facing the fact that human rulerships n Goverments will be destroyed by God and his Son (Dan2:44, 7:13,14 Psalms 110:5, 2:8,9 John 14:30, Rev 13:12, 16:14-16, Eph 6:12), they are actively engaging in wordly politics and have ignored the commision Jesus gave to his faithful followers to proclaim about his incoming Kingdom alone |
True Christianity and politics CAN NEVER MIX. It is no longer true Christianity if the two come together. Politics of this world is up for destuction as well as all alliances including the Harlot that is scared of letting the Nations know of God judgement. When the Bible says that Satan and the Harlot influence and MISLEAD THE WHOLE WORLD WITH FALSE PRACTICES AND BELIEFS it is not talking about some people hidden in some Arabian lands. It includes the billions of masses that think that they are following Christ. If you take time and go through the Bible, you will see that Christiandom has deviated far away from what true Christianity should be and deserves every inch of the Judgement awaiting her. This is a clear case and should not be confusing to to an avid Bible student. THE NATIONS ARE FASHIONING OUT WEAPONS FOR THEIR OWN GAIN AND PURPOSES WITHOUT ANY REGARD FOR GOD'S KINGDOM UNDER HIS SON NOR GOD'S PURPOSES FOR THE EARTH. TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS RIGHTFUL RULERSHIP BUT SPEND ALL THEIR TIME IN FUTILE NATIONALISTIC PURSUITS. TRUE CHRISTIANITY HAS NO PART IN THAT. |
God plans to destroy all human Goverments anyway. Christiandom is too scared to acknowledge that, but rather choses to be a prostitute and align with these goverments in oppsition to the only rightful Goverment and would be destroyed too Like i said b/4, Marks of true Christianity include Seprateness from the world (For which true Christians would be persecuted) Love amongst themselves (No room for nationalistic politics and wars) Devoted fully to carrying out the one commision of Jesus (not aligning with human rulership and rooting for them) Base their teachings on the Bible (Most of Christiandom's teachings and practices are pagan and have no bearing on the bible) Christiandom is now totally disgusting in the sight of God and her professed master Jesus. Her involvment in politics will turn around and destroy her and then it will shock the whole world. Christiandom, like 1st Century Judaism represents compromised religion and will be destroyed by political powers, the very same way the first century Jewish system that taught it had Gods favour was destroyed by her political alliances. Itz shocking i know but so it was to 1st century Jews who taught they had Gods favor. |
Tayo D Your response is part of the reason why Christiandom is going to suffer Judgement. It has abandoned teaching its followers truth from the Bible and left them wanting for truth. You acknowledged that the rulership of this world is in the hands of Satan and that he gives it to whom he wants, that so called Christian politicians fight and kill each other, and that Jesus refused participation in human rulership and all early Christians avoided politics BUT still you are looking for a way to explain it away. Well like i said before arguing on a religious forum is sometimes not worth it at all but il add this to you. Babylon the Great is NOT a geographical location. Ancient Babylon was known for pagan doctrines like Triad Gods, Immortality of the soul, use of images in worship, beign in opposition to true worship etc. Babylon the Great, which Christiandom is a prominent part has adopted these unbiblical teachings as core teachings. It has influence and is decieving the whole world and has made political alliances with the rulers of this world. The beast of revelation was given rulership by the devil in to rule the whole world. Revelation clearly shows that that beast refers to human rulership. Babylon the Great has used false practices to decieve THE WHOLE WORLD. A Good example is the one we are talking about. They make people think it is ok for True Christianity to wallow in Satans political realms. She has become a Harlot by joining in politics, rather than lauding the only Goverment that God supports. The beast(human rulership) that recieved power from the devil will hate the Harlot(False religion with Christiandom in the forefront) and would destroy them all. Tayo D as shocking as it is, its true though. Peace |
Some Identifying Marks of True Christianity 1 Seperate from the world (Both its Military aims and Politics) 2 Love among themselves (not through killings in Nationalistic wars) 3 Proclaiming the Message of God's Kingdom under his Son (Not lauding political entities) 4 Teachings coming from the Bible (Christiandom has woefully failed) Infact Christiandom has largely failed on all fronts, and im wondering why it is such a suprise that she is well positioned for judgement by God. TV01 identified excesses and cracks in many Churches. I guess he smells what i am smelling. Christiandom, like an unfaithful messenger, and a harlot has largely disregarded the word of God and the commission of Jesus for various unbiblical pursuits. She would be weighed and found wanting and destroyed. Anyways Tayo D Most members of this Religious forum spend their time ridiculing Islam and engaging in a futile exercise of self righteousness rather than taking their time and studying the Bible which will let them see why Christiandom is in the same boat with the very same Islam that they are ridiculing, and other pagan religions, ie headed towards destruction. Part of the reason why i avoided this section in this forum was that people, esp those who think they are following Jesus is that they argue blindly to what would otherwise be a clear truth, but i enjoyed the mannerly discussion b/w you and TV01 and that threw mw head long into this forum 4 now. I might not stay long. |
Besides, the Nation of Isreal that later split into two had a purpose of producing the seed that was to redeem Mankind, and had to be kept pure of corrupting influences, both from the inside n outside, hence the law. Wars were waged with Gods approval to acheive that aim. ISREAL WAS A THEOCRACY RUN BY GOD AND WHEN THEY REFUSED HIS MESSIAH, HE ABBANDONED THEM. Trying to use that to justify participation in the politics and wars of this world is faulty reasoning. |
@Tayo D Check out the visions to Daniel. at chap 7. Beasts and power always represented human rulerships. You cleverly dodged the points on so called "Christian" political leaders and "Christians" fighting and killing each other. Did you just say that Nationalism comes from God and human rulership a gift of who? Maybe the ffg passages will help you see that there is no middle ground b/w true Christianity and Politics. Luke 4:5-7 John 6:15,14:30,15:19,17:16, 18:36, 2nd Corinthians4:4, 11:14,15 James 4:4, 1st John 5:19, 2:15-17, Rev 13:2. Also settle down and read the Revelation to John about that great mother of harlots and her association with the political rulers of this world, how she has used spiritistic practices, falsehood and her political alliances TO MISLEAD THE WHOLE WORLD. Why human rulership will always be a failure n y the only Goverment Christians should support is that of Jesus Ecc 8:9, Jeremiah 10:23, Psalms 146:3,4 Christiandom and other false religious religions are prostituting themselves to political powers, and Christiandom rather than facing the fact that human rulerships n Goverments will be destroyed by God and his Son (Dan2:44, 7:13,14 Psalms 110:5, 2:8,9 John 14:30, Rev 13:12, 16:14-16, Eph 6:12), they are actively engaging in wordly politics and have ignored the commision Jesus gave to his faithful followers to proclaim about his incoming Kingdom alone. CHRISTIANDOM IS CLEARLY A PART OF THAT HARLOT AND HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR GODS FIERY JUDGEMENT, ONCE AND FOR ALL, UNFAILINGLY AND DECISIVE. IT WILL BE UNDILUTED AND THE SHOCK OF HER DESTRUCTION BY THE SAME BEAST SHE IS PROSTITUTING HERSELF TO WILL RESOUND ACCROSS THE WORLD. ITZ GOING TO BE AN AWE INSPIRING EVENT. I don't engage in protracted arguments of clear truths |
i think Ronaldo has been landed |
The Bible always uses Beasts to represent human rulerships. Morden day so called "Christianity" has prostituted herself to the rulers of this world and have brought God's anger upon it, which these same political powers will execute on her. What most people do here on this forum is an exercise in self righteousness, a complete exercise in Futility. If you cast your mind and reserch the history of Christiandom in General, you will see why she deserves every each of the Judgment that is awaiting her without fail. Take a closer look and you will see why politics was not ment for true Christianity. If you are talking about the Kings of Isreal in order to justify participation in politics you are dead wrong. Ask me and il tell you why. |
Tayo D True Christianity has no part in the rulership from the devil. See what participation in politics have achieved for so called Christians who Jesus explicitly instructed to keep seprate from the world, have love among themselves and proclaim the only Goverment that God supports of, that of Jesus. "Christian" Legislators vote for war to kill fellow 'Christians' in another country "Christian" President signs war act against "Christians" in another country "Christian" Soilders killing "Christian" Soilders of another country. "Christians" praying to God to help their Nation win and Kill the Other "Christians" in the other country who are also praying that God help their own country kill the other "Christians" that are trying to kill them And who says that the Devil does not have the last laugh. He rules the world and all the Nationalistic divisions come from him. |
@babyosisi babyosisi: .its not like shaking as to when i am enjoying a song. Seriously though, i am letting you know the truth. Christiandom is soaked in blood and therefore is answerable to the Master. That is not true Christianity. Take a critical look at Christiandom and you will clearly see that it is in the same boat with Islam, headed for destruction for reasons just too many. I asked you to read John 17:3 and see what means eternal life could be achieved and not personal assumptions. Most of Christiandoms works and teachings has no Biblical base and that is why revelation rightly potrays her as decieving the entire world, not some Arabians. I know its shocking but its true, and equally shocking will be her destruction, together with the rest of other false religious groups. |
just wanted to call your attention to this link http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn64/code_impact.htm Christiandom is a pure Harlot and would be judged mercilessly by God. The Harlot has Joined hands with the Devil to mislead the whole world, not just some people in middle eastern lands as you imagine. The political alliances she has made today will destroy her. The wrath of God towards Christiandom and all its falsehood, along with other false religion will be undilluted. The shock her destruction will cause would reverbrate. |
@babyosisi Besides, if you are a good bible student, you would realise that so many churches are immersed in falsehood. I don't need anybody to help me read my bible for me to realise that JESUS IS NOT GOD. TV 01 is a good bible student and il like to see his input on this. Constantine helped mire present day churches that claim to be 'Christian' in falsehood by instituting a papacy, unbiblical holidays and rituals, a power struggle, the idea that Jesus is God and a participation in politics. I see your arguments with muslims and i shake my head, Churches of Christiandom are going to face exactly the same Judgement at Gods hand coz of her harlotry. you have a zeal, but why don't you sit down and go through the bible yourself. There is a lot u need to learn. Did you watch the CNN documentry on first century Christians in december? |
@babyosisi This is really funny. How on earth are you going to say that denominations does not matter. That is your personal belief and certainly not what the Bible says. There can only be one true way and that must teach and practise what the bible really says. Besides how on earth can you say that even though all these denominationsthat teach different things, most of which have no biblical basis does not matter and are you attacking a religious organization like that with what seems like a preconcieved bad notion Read John 17:3 again and see the only real way to eternal life. |
the jury is out guyz. Grimi, Oddo n now Ronaldo (maybe) what do u all think |
@Tayo D Stop trying to justify partaking of rulership that emanates from the devil. The whole political and nationalistic divisions of this world does not do anything to futher the only Goverment that God approves of; the Goverment of his Son. Members of Christiandom are aligning them selves against the rulership of the King of Kings and would suffer adverse judgement. Christiandom has largely wallowed in the murky waters of Satans political system and will be destroyed by the very same political alliances that she is making. A pure Harlot, John could not have painted a better picture. But because the whole world is beign misled by the devil and the harlot (all false religion with most so called 'christian' churches in the fore front), politics has been painted as acceptable and mainstream. Imagine people saying that if there were a majority of christians then things will be good. Yeah right. Look at the example of Jesus and all the first century christians. They had the power to heal, raise the dead and render righteous judgement. Did they partake in politics so things will be good. Nah. they realised that they could not futher any human goverment coz they were and still are all under the rulership of Satan. True Christians would always be identified by their seprateness from the world and would be persecuted for it even from mainstream religions that have soiled their hands in this worlds political affairs. Most of Christiandom, like an unfaithful slave has left the work they were commissioned to do and have now turned to lauding human goverments and taking sides in politics. So much 4 so called 'Christianity'. WWII '"Christians" in Germany and Italy praying for God 2 give them victory and alignng in politics against "Christians" in Britain and the U.S who were also asking God for victory. Both "Christians" killing each other. What a mockery of Christianity. Little wonder why God's judgement on the Harlot will be so harsh Whatever happened to what really makes true Christians stand out, Love towards each other and seprateness from the world including its politics .TV01 u have a very good insight on this topic. Sometimes i wonder why people cant even see what is very clear. |
davidylan: .Dont understand. About 2 check out now. Dont really like arguing on religion thread coz plenty of fellows who r here have misguided zeal n will argue blindly rather than find out clear bible truths esp the "Christians" claiming 2 follow Christ |
True Christianity and Politics do not mix. Jesus and the First century christians advoided politics like a plague even though they had the capability of beign good rulers. The whole political system is Satans so it is not even a case of just moral compromise. True Christians will always be persecuted for folowing Jesus example of beign no part of the world. The present nationalistic behaviours and divisions of this world is from the devil. Anybody aligning with the world in world in a political way esp so called christianity muddling in the murky waters of todays world will face the undilutted wrath of God I laugh when i see so called christians mocking the muslims on this site when they themselves will face the very same judgement. So called Christianity along with other false religions misleading the whole world are in for adverse judgement. The identity of the harlot of revelation is very clear. At Bobbyaf i was impressed that you identified who the harlot refered to but don't you also think Babylon the Great includes SDA too? With false teachings like Jesus=God, Trinity n the rest? Guys i don't like posting on the religion forum because so many misguided fantics esp those who think they r following jesus Grin. Il rather be in the sports thread talking about AC Milan ![]() |
davidylan:Nah Men, its you that needs to apply ur verbal skills. If association with denominations, even mainstream that teach falsehood is not a problem with so called christians, then you should be asking urself questions. Different denominations teaching falsehood and claiming Christ is bull. True christianity can only come in one form and must teach what the bible says, even a layman should know that. Self righteousness is an exercise in futility. Saying Christ is the way does not mean a thing esp when you dont even know his true identity. |
U said there is Only one way and at the same time you r contradicting that. If u believe denomination does not matter, then that means different ways all leading to the same place which clearly contradicts the idea of one way. All these denominations believe different things many of it with no basis from the bible and clearly ignore what True Christianity is .U were saying Jesus is the only way, but how does Jesus save those who do not even know who he really is? Many denominations claim he is God, others dont .Bottom line is that the Bible does not support the idea of many roads or denominations. True christianity does not come in different forms |
@babyosisi Quote One babyosisi:2 babyosisi:Looks quite contradictory 2 me sister. |
@TV 01 U are so right. True Christianity and Politics do not mix. Jesus and the First century christians advoided politics like a plague even though they had the capability of beign good rulers.

oya make una answer ![]() |
Make sure while you are at it that nobody (wife, girlfriend, MAN ) sucks your d1ck in Singapore. I heard it is illegal over ther n u could end up in jail if caught. .Anyways though Singapore is one lovely place. Wont mind living there myself. does anybody have any grounded infos? |
Thor: . this guy, u are a caseI guess thats the differnce b/w most men and women Men dont want any justification 4 anything, they just do what they want to do, women on the other hand have plnty of emotional issues |
Ok Nwannem Nwanyi, m ga ahapu aka ka udo di. Anyways why i pointed that out waz that i had seen you relate experiences which you had and enjoyed in churches under women pastors and the same passages by Paul you are quoting to fault tini girl is the same Paul that wrote out the Bibles standards for authority within the congregation, one which has no place for women ordination whatsoever. i was just saying that if you dont have any problem with what is wrong in the bible, its a bit odd that you have so much of a problem with the other. By your standards, nothing is wrong in anyway with what Trini girl is saying but you remain my Sister though . i stay away from the religion thread coz itz so passionate. i think il have to run away again.I wonder why Trini girl is bothering herself though This discussion should be moved to the right thread |
@babyosisi You cleverly dodged the point. I said i have followed ur posts for a while so i know enough to say that you are in support females taking the lead in worship, something explicitly condemned in the bible. If you chose to ignore the bibles clear instructions, i am just wondering then why you would quote it so stunchly on another issue. I had always had it it mind to ask you, even though i dont post much on religion, just that these two topics came up simultenously. I dont fault you or trini girl either. Each of us have what they believe in. But if you must take a stand then you must be consistent with it. If you always say the bible says this or that then you have to stick with it in all religious arguments. Trini girl made a case, with support to prove it and people are jumping on her. Well assuming we go with human reasoning, Trini girl could make a case that she has to get to know her marriage partner if he satisfies what she wants in a mate. His behaviours, beliefs, attitudes etc. If she needs to know all this about him, then she also has a just reason to find out if he meets her needs sexually. What if after they dont click in a sexual way? Why would she get to know somebody as much as possible in all important areas but then not that important area? Ok then your (babyosisi) reply would remain the same. That it might make sense to some people but that the bible says it is wrong. Ok good. So irrespective of all meaningful reasoning your basis would be that the bible says it is wrong and people should not try to twist the bible to allow room for anything else. Fine too. But then comes the problem. The same bible crystally states that women taking the lead in the congregation is very wrong but unless you try to twist it and allow room for that then its clear you ignore the bible wilfully. The same thing you want to accuse trini girl of doing. If consistency is lacking, then anybody can interprete passages of the bible to fit into what he or she thinks it should mean. N/B i think both trini girl and Babyosisi has similar views on Ordaining women, but while trini girl is more of an open minded person, which is ok, babyosisi cites the bible as her standard, which is also very good. But then double standards are not a very good thing when talking about religious texts. If you ignore what the bible says in one place, i dont think its a good thing to quote it to try and condemn how somebody else feels about some other issues. Like i said before i dont fault trini girl or you 4 ur beliefs Just that i had to point out that to you. My views have On a funny note though, to the feminists out there I heard some of you guyz think God and the bible are sexist 1 was God sexist by choosing only men in the priestly line 2 men as Levites 3 men as instructors and Teachers in Isreal. 4 by declearing women unclean for a week coz of mensuration 5 women not taking the lead in worship in the general assembly of ancient isreal 6 Jesus choosing only men as his apostles despite having women companions who were with him during his tribulations 7 The early apostles n congregations coz only men handled the affairs 8 Paul and Timothy for there writings ![]() |
i really dont post that much in the religion section but i found that thread intresting. I found it even more intresting that people would take one stunch stand and accuse others of trying to justify something that is supposedly 'wrong' from a text, but then the next post,they justify what is even more 'wrong' from the same text. Just a thought people |
