ThothHermes: Romans 3:5 NIV [5] But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) |

Religion / Apostle Suleman Is Unrepentant And Arrogant by sagenaija: 10:00am On Mar 23 |
Apostle Suleman Is Unrepentant and Arrogant One of the signs of any child of God, no matter his position in life, should be humility. Humility shows fear of God. Humility desires and accepts the truth. Humility makes a man admit it when it is clear that he is wrong. (Remember King David, when Nathan confronted him with his sinning?). On the other hand, when SELF drives a person, arrogance comes to the fore. His PRESTIGE (his estimation in the eyes of people), takes center stage rather than God or God's integrity and plan. This is what we see play out in the recent "Apostle" Suleman's saga of claiming that Jesus Christ told him that something the great Apostle Paul wrote was not from him (Jesus). Suleman went on to say that Apostle Peter warned people AGAINST Apostle Paul. Suleman's subsequent"attempts" to clear himself (or perhaps better still, to defend his position) only just opened him up for who he truly is. Suleman was wrong on every count - whether on his claim about what Jesus told him or on Apostle Peter's warning against Paul. Yet he refused to admit his very clear errors. For a "minister", he failed woefully to see the CONTEXT of some of the passages he tried to use to support himself. In Biblical interpretation and understanding, context is key. Nowhere did Apostle Paul claim that anything he said was not from God. A man of God ought to understand a basic truth between what Jesus Christ did not say while on earth and what he said the Holy Spirit was going to show or reveal through the apostles which they can claim as " Jesus Christ did not say this but I (or we) are revealing or stating them to you now". Suleman failed to see 2 Peter 1:20 or 2 Timothy 3:16. If because of the image before men a man chooses not to acknowledge when he is wrong (again, contrast with David the King and Nathan) then he is showing to the discerning who he really is. God makes war with the arrogant. When there is no fear of the Lord the expression of arrogance comes out clearly. Jesus Christ himself said, "For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted." 1 Like |

jesusjnr2020: Did you listen to the passage he gave for Peter's rebuttal of Paul? Is that what that passage really says? So, to you, once those some "highly esteem" say anything their words should be taken as gospel truth? You have the gospel of Jesus different from the Bible? Interesting! Very interesting! 2 Likes |

Apostle Suleman Attacks Apostle Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHtRsIvbNnI?si=D1Iyh8PeGkbBAAn9 Apostle Suleman claims that Jesus told him that what Apostle Paul wrote were not from him(Jesus Christ). He also said that the Apostle Peter warned people against Apostle Paul. Suleman said he cannot criticize or correct Pastor Adeboye, Kumuyi, Chris BUT he do same to the great Apostle Paul. What an irony! Has he (Suleman) thought for one second what the implication of these his words means? If Apostle Paul who wrote more half of the New Testament was wrong then is Suleman telling us to jettison the New Testament and rely on the 21st-century "revelation" he (Suleman) receives from the Lord Jesus Christ? Where exactly did these men come from? 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Saudi Arabia Approves Sale And Consumption Of Alcohol by sagenaija: 9:12am On Jan 26 |
SIRTeee15: Waiting for lululuku69 to respond. When you tell them this is Islam they cry "Show us!” When you show them from their books they begin to go into the " magic of reinterpretation" of their books. Islam has always presented itself as what it is really not. They say it is a religion of peace. You will discover that they actually HATE every other person and are more EAGER to fight than pursue peace. They say Mohamed is the BEST of example. You look at his life and see a caravan raider, pedophile, warmonger, slave owner, had more wives and sex slaves than the koran prescribes for any Moslem, etc, etc. And you ask "What is the best of example here to be followed?” They have been sold a dummy and have accepted it hook line and sinker. |

MaxInDHouse:It shouldn't be about what God's people want to know. It should be what God wants his people to know. It is the issue of personal wants that leads many to seek fortune-telling in the name of prophecies. |

MaxInDHouse:They will simply not be accepting the words of those who give fake New Year prophecies. At the end of the day seeking to know the future leads people away from trusting in God. They will simply be putting their hope in those so-called prophecies. The focus then shifts from God to man or a thing. |
Religion / Re: Why Were So Many Christians Deceived By TB Joshua? by sagenaija: 6:57pm On Jan 21 |
To start with majority of Christians today are gullible. They are easily taken in by WHATEVER is sold to them in the name of Christianity. They NEVER bother to check whether such things align with the Bible or not. Just tell them so and so chapter of the Bible and verse so and so says "You will be like God" say 'And they will all shout 'Amen!' If only they checked out that portion of the Bible to then discover that it was the DEVIL talking and that that has nothing to do with God's statement in the first place. So-called "men of God" today, just pick ANY verse or portion of Scripture and TWIST it into whatever they want, and the gullible followers and listeners all shout in acknowledgment of them. The listeners and followers have either become too lazy to check what they hear against the word of God or have simply accepted the LIE that all comes from their "men of God" must be the truth and nothing else. This is majorly what has led us into the DIVINE PUNISHMENT we are in today as a nation. God's people have turned away into a"WICKED" way and they are refusing to repent from it as 2 Chronicles 7:14 demands in order for us to have HEALING as a nation. 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: Christians can do the wrong things. When we talk about sin or sinning it means walking contrary to what God wants. That is why confession is talked about in Scripture. In short, Christians do fail. |

MaxInDHouse:Today anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as saviour becomes part of God's people. That relationship with Christ makes a person a part of God's people - 1 Peter 2:9-10. Nowhere in the Bible does God support New Year prophecies. Jesus said, "By their fruits, you shall know them". Using the scriptures to weigh what they present or preach will reveal the real from the fake; the true from the false. |
Religion / Why Keep Following Pastors Giving Fake New Year Prophecies? by sagenaija: 8:34pm On Jan 06 |
Why Keep Following Pastors Giving Fake New Year Prophecies? The failure of the prophecies of many of the very popular so-called "men of God" is well known and well documented. That these men failed clear scriptural position is evident. The fact that many of them even make up stories as to why their prophecies fail is also known. That many of these prophecies both on personal and national levels have led to incalculable disasters is equally generally recognized. Why then do people keep following these people? Even Ghana, recognizing that all is not well with all these prophecies placed a "ban on what she called misleading New Year prophecies and the havoc they are capable of precipitating." A major conclusion one can come to is that the followers enjoy the charade. They are fascinated by the razzmatazz even where it goes in clear violation of God's position. Like the Jews of Jesus' time even when they are being told that they are under bondage they insist that they "have never been slaves of anyone." John 8:33. Like them they seek no freedom from the bondage they are in. They relish in it. In Deuteronomy 18, God expressly forbids wanting to peep into the future. The future is to be left to God while the believer trusts him on a moment-by-moment basis. When the believer chooses to "know" tomorrow what is then the need to trust God for it? Of course, for a generation that has been taught that they are "gods," fortune-telling wouldn't seem anything strange. It would just be an additional "benefit" of being on the godlevel. What these so-called " men of God" and those who are enthralled by them are doing is engaging in the "wicked ways" God asked his people to turn away from in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Any wonder then why the church in Nigeria and anywhere that follows the same trend has little or no impact on the land but is rather losing ground? The clear word of God has been substituted with philosophies of men at best or doctrines of demons at worst. Instead of seeing the darkening clouds the church is still taking the position of "nothing spoil”. Like Israel was told by false prophets that " nothing spoil", they won't go into exile as a discipline from God. Today's "men of God" are telling us the same - all is well. We are moving from "one level of glory to another". Unfortunately, they are the ones living posh lifestyles as the glory is departing from the church. When the majority of the Church chooses to go its own way we can only expect more DIVINE DISCIPLINE. The one who controls history metes out discipline of all kinds like he did to Judah in 2 Chronicles 15. The Bible said, " God was troubling them with every kind of distress." Despite what today's "men of God" may say God is still in charge of blessing or disciplining nations. Where the 'salt of the earth' in that nation fails, we can expect nothing short of God's strong hand of discipline on our nation. This accounts for all the contradictions we experience as a nation: Where despite the resources to make our nation great are available we still experience shortages and lack. If God's people who are called by his name do not turn in the right direction to him, we can only expect more woes. |
Religion / Re: The Truth About Ramadan by sagenaija: 10:12pm On Apr 02, 2023 |
Now imagine having two Thanksgiving dinners per day every day for an entire month and calling it fasting. Imagine gorging yourself with food until you almost pass out multiple times per day over and over again day after day while you announce to the world ”See how devout I am. I'm fasting!" Strange use of the word fasting, isn't it? Ramadan fasting is what we might call trans-fasting. It's feasting that identifies as fasting. As such our Muslim friends are to be accorded all the rights and privileges of the lgbtq community. Which means that the rest of us have to agree with them that shoveling giants plates of food into their mouths is indeed fasting. (Tbc) |

The Truth About Ramadan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8DnIm1FkF4 By: David Wood Well, it's that time of year again and as you can see I'm fasting, Islam style. When most people think of fasting they think of not eating. They think of abstaining from food. But in Islam AKA opposite world, fasting means gorging yourself with food multiple times per day. I guess you could say that Mohamed's followers are abstaining in a weird sense during Ramadan. They're abstaining from not gorging themselves with endless piles of delicious food. Islamic fasting is what we would ordinarily call feasting. The closest thing non-Muslims have to Ramadan in the U.S. is Thanksgiving dinner. That's our big meal of the year. But Ramadan on for a month and they have two gigantic meals per day. Imagine having two Thanksgiving dinners per day every day for an entire month. Pretty gross, right? Pure gluttony.

So when you write context matters but when it's someone else, you query context. From you saying a while ago that "context doesn't count rather overview of the Bible's message...." to now talk in the quote I put up above about context shows that you can do anything simply to try to win an argument.
