@ shdemidemi You are the one who has been pestering Italo to proof this and that for you from the scriture, but when he demanded thesame from you turned round and started telling us it doesn't matter.
Maybe if you can show us where God said he inspired the gospel of Luke and John in the bible, you will then ask Italo to proof whatever he said from the scriptures.
Do you now get me? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Right To Honour Or Worship Mary The Mother Of Jesus? by SalC: 8:20pm On Jun 30, 2013 |
shdemidemi: The difference between this faith and any other belief is that God calls you into it, you don't come in to the faith by accident. This is the only faith that guarantees your salvation as soon as you believe, no religion can tell you that. This is also the only faith that says what would happen 6000 years after.
I believe the book 100% without caring who collated/printed it. What matters to me is the content of the book. Maybe you will have to defined faith. Is faith limited to christianity? God called you into faith, how? Don't forget that people in other religion equally have faith. |

italo: @ Sal C, what is this guy saying? I think he's a bit confused, he has lost track of what he was trying to prove. What he's now proving to us is that in some situation what he believes becomes more important even though it is not in the bible. All I care is that he does thesame when dealing with others' belief. |

I can't thank God enough, am alive today after a serious surgery dat kept me down all through last month to the middle of this month. After series of wound breakdown, re-suturing and almost endless antibiotics intake. God proved his might without further intake of drugs.
Now am strong enough to resume work to the amazement of even the surgeon incharge of my case.
All I can say now is thank you Lord. |

shdemidemi: I believe the book, God exalts His word above His name. He guides this truth, God was not mentioned in the entire Book Of Esther but His presence was ever present. Asking me where God mentioned bible isn't relevant to me, what matters is the faith I have in this word and God's providence Let's just pray this doesn't make a mess of most of your debates on this forum. So it doesn't matter to you whether a thing is mentioned in the bible or not. It doesn't even matter if the bible is mentioned or not? What matters is the faith you have in the word. Take note of the above post and apply it to other people's believe. |

OLAADEGBU: Good works are only a product of your salvation they are not what gets you saved in the first place. Are you trying to tell me that an unbeliever who does good works is already saved?. Remember, good works is not limited to believers alone. There are so many people who do not believe in Jesus Christ or even God yet they do good works better than so many christians. Can you also say that their good work is a product of their salvation?. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Blood Transfusion In The Hospital Is Evil. by SalC: 11:07am On Jun 30, 2013 |
Wiz emmanuel: Blood transfusion is evil , but i wonder why so many hospitals still do it, it is written "if u love ur soul(life) u will loose it and if u loose ur soul(life) for my sake u will regain and have eternal life." Perhaps you did not get the meaning of the verse you took at face value. That verse is actually talking about martyrdom, there are so many verse you can quote if you feel like disputing blood transfusion but the one you quoted is certainly not one of them. Can you tell me how someone who became anemic as a result of prolonged untreated malaria is loosing his life for the sake of Christ?. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Are You Good Enough For Heaven? by SalC: 10:49am On Jun 30, 2013 |
OLAADEGBU: THE GOOD PERSON TEST
With a tender conscience, check this list of the Ten Commandments:
Have I always loved God my Creator with all my heart, mind, soul and strength? ____YES ___NO Have I made a god in my own image? a god to suit myself? ____YES ___NO Have I ever used God's name in vain? ____YES ___NO Have I kept the Sabbath holy? ____YES ___NO Have I always honoured my parents implicitly? ____YES ___NO Have I murdered (God considers hatred as murder)? ____YES ___NO Have I committed adultery (including premarital sex and lust)? ____YES ___NO Have I stolen (the value is irrelevant)? ____YES ___NO Have I lied (including fibs and these questions)? ____YES ___NO Have I coveted (been greedy or materialistic)? ____YES ___NO If you have even broken one Law, then you have sinned against God and therefore will "surely die," for the "wages of sin is death."
We are all guilty of breaking the Commandments. Listen to the voice of your conscience, and let it remind you of some of the sins of the past. We are not perfect as we are commanded to be (Matthew 5:48 ), neither is our heart pure. On Judgment Day our transgressions will be the evidence of our shame. Think of it: God has seen every sin we have ever committed. We share our thought-life with Him.
We are guilty of violating His Law a multitude of times, yet if we repent, God can forgive us because Jesus stepped into the courtroom 2,000 years ago and paid the fine for us.
His death on the cross satisfied the Law we so blatantly transgressed, and at the same time demonstrated how much God loves us — "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." His shed blood on the cross can make you clean in the sight of a holy God, as though you have never sinned.
God doesn't want you to go to Hell. Please, forget your arguments, repent and put your trust in Jesus and be saved from God's wrath. Make Psalm 51 your prayer, then read your Bible daily and always obey what you read; God will never let you down. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this good person test and may God bless you as you take the right decision that will positively determine your destiny. @ Ola With all this test I was forced to ask where the faith alone gospel has gone to. Or do you believe we equally need good work for salvation?. |

noblefada: Ok let u a question, pls can u tell the major difference btw the believers now and those prophets u mentioned in terms of ur relationship with God? The major difference is that in their days, God spoke to the people through them; but today he speaks to the believers through his son who happens to be a mediator. Heb 1v1&2. Now between the prophets and today's believers who knows God personally. |
Christianity Etc › Re: I Am Not Here To Drive You Mad by SalC: 7:47pm On Jun 27, 2013 |
obadiah777: PSALM 9 VS 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God THERE ARE ONLY TWO THINGS IN LIFE ? CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. NOTHING IS COINCIDENTAL. BEING INSANE IS PAYMENT FOR PAST SINS. SEE WE ARE BEING REFINED IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION THROUGH A SERIES OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE IN A CAR ACCIDENT DIE ? THAT WAS JUDGEMENT. IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED BY BOKO HARAM ? THAT WAS JUDGEMENT. NOTHING IS COINCIDENCE. LIFE IS CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. TILL THE KINGDOM IS ESTABLISHED. I don't see how insane person equally mean a wicked. Even a righteous person can suddenly become insane. So you can't rightly say insanity is a reward for wickedness. |

obadiah777: YES, TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE CAN DRIVE SOME PEOPLE MAD. NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BUILT TO TAKE IN SO MUCH. I WRITE THIS TO SAY THAT ALL BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE AND STORIES WORK ON TWO LEVELS. THE SURFACE LEVEL AND THE DEEPER LEVEL. EITHER WAY YOU ARE GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE. SO ITS NOT COMPULSORY TO GO DEEPER THAN THE SURFACE IF YOU DONT WANT TO. YOU DONT HAVE TO. I REALIZE I AM GUILTY OF TRYING TO GET PEOPLE DEEPER THAN THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH AND HENCE DESTROYING PEOPLES COMFORT ZONE. THE POINT HERE IS, IF YOU ARE A FAN OF KEEPING EVERYTHING SIMPLE AND LESS COMPLICATED IT IS OK, THE MESSAGE IS THE SAME . AND IF YOU ARE A DOGGEDLY INQUISITIVE MIND WITH THE CAPACITY TO GO DEEPER THAN THE SURFACE, ITS FINE TOO BECAUSE THE MESSAGE IS THE SAME. WHILE ON THE SURFACE LEVEL CHARACTERS ARE SINGULAR PEOPLE INTERACTING WITH OTHER SINGULAR PEOPLE, ON A DEEPER LEVEL THEY ARE MORE THAN THAT. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE
THERE IS A CHARACTER IN THE BIBLE NAMED JOB. NOW WHILE ON THE SURFACE LEVEL THE STORY WORKS IF WE CONSIDER JOB A MAN AS THE BIBLE HAS. HOWEVER JOB IS NOT THE NAME OF A MAN. JOB IS A NON-EXISTENT PERSON. THE PERSON DOES NOT EXIST. JOB IS A NAME THAT REPRESENTS A GROUP OF PEOPLE. LETS FIND OUT WHY JOB IS NOT A MAN AND WHO JOB IS. >>>> JOB 19 VS 9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head >> NOW A RUN DOWN OF ALL THE KINGS OF ISRAEL FROM BEGINNING TO END WILL BRING YOU TO THE REALIZATION THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A KING IN ISRAEL CALLED JOB. SO WHAT CROWN IS THIS JOB FELLOW TALKING ABOUT AND WHO EXACTLY IS HE ? NOW WE GO PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT >>> LAMENTATIONS 5 VS 16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! <<<< THIS IS THE EXACT STATEMENT BUT IT IS NOT COMING FROM A KING OF ISRAEL, IT IS A LAMENTATION OF THE WHOLE ISRAEL WHEN THEY GOT KICKED OUT OF CONTROL OF THE WORLD BY THE BABYLONIANS. SO THE CROWN OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL AS A WHOLE GOT TAKEN AWAY. SO JOB IS THE NATION OF ISRAEL. HOWEVER LETS GO DEEPER. FROM READING THE JOB STORY WE KNOW THAT WHILE EVERYONE AROUND HIM WAS DESTROYED ( BY THE BABYLONIANS AKA CHALDEANS ) HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THE LORD PROTECTED >> JOB 1 VS 12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD <<<< DESTROY EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE EXCEPT JOB. NOW LETS JUXTAPOSE THE STORY OF ISRAELS FALL ON IT >>> EZEKIEL 9 VS 5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city. <<<< DESTROY EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE EXCEPT THE ELECT OF ISRAEL WHO HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD IN THEIR HEAD.
AND THERE WE HAVE IT. JOB IS A NAME FOR THE ELECT MEN OF ISRAEL ( 144,000 ). NOT A PERSON. ITS A COVER NAME FOR THE ELECT.
AND THERE YOU HAVE THE DEEPER VERSION AND YOU CAN GO DEEPER WITH MOST CHARACTERS IN THE BIBLE. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. THE STORIES WORK PERFECTLY WELL IF THE CHARACTERS ARE VIEWED JUST AS REAL SINGLE PEOPLE TOO. I SAY THIS SO THAT THOSE WHO HAVE A COMFORT ZONE THAT THEY DONT WANT DESTABLILIZED SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE IN KNOWING ITS PERFECTLY OK TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. I DO NOT INTEND TO DRIVE PEOPLE INSANE. TOO MUCH INFORMATION CAN DO THAT.  Haa, as far as you are concern nothing seems to be real. - I won't be surprised if you wake up someday to tell us that Obaddiah777 is just a figment of our immagination, only then will the full meaning of allegory become clear to us. Hope you are doing fine?. |

Christianity Etc › Re: An Evil Spirit From The Lord by SalC(op): 1:57pm On Jun 27, 2013 |
Freksy: You have said it all!
Obedience - listen to God and act on what he says. If we stay away from things that are associated with evil, with time the evil spirit will flee.
Prayer - Humbly and regularly talking to God about our problems, and specifically requesting for his Spirit.
And what is more, we should do our utmost to always occupy our mind with things that are holy. It terrorizes the evil spirit in us and have it packed to a conducive environment. Matt 12:43. Ok but do you earnestly think there is a conducive environment for an evil spirit? If yes; where could that be?. |
Christianity Etc › Re: An Evil Spirit From The Lord by SalC(op): 2:21pm On Jun 26, 2013 |
Freksy: In 1 Samuel 16:14 we are informed that "the spirit of God departed from Saul, and an evil or a bad spirit from God troubled him." In this we can see an application of the principle indicated by Jesus at Matthew 12:43-45, namely, that if the mind and life are not filled with God's spirit, then they are open to invasion of demon spirits. It is not that God actually sent an evil spirit to trouble Saul, but by removing his holy spirit from the disobedient king a vacancy was left, a vacancy that was promptly filled by a bad spirit or mental inclination. Since God made the evilly inclined possession possible by the removal of his holy spirit, God is referred to as the source of the evil spirit. 1Sam 16:14; 18:10 I will be back to discuss with you, but I must say I like you line of discussion. But then what do you think is the answer to my second question,"what would be required to cast out this spirit? Prayer or obedience to God". |

Christianity Etc › Re: An Evil Spirit From The Lord by SalC(op): 1:27pm On Jun 25, 2013 |
omonuan: I understand from your postings that you are not inclined to believe what the Bible says about God sending evil. Your conclusion though indicates that you understand that God sends something to people he hates but you simply don't want to call what God sends "evil." You would rather call it a "curse." And that's okay by me!
You mentioned Anananias and Saphira, does it not bother you that the punishment does not fit the crime? Mind you the possession sold by Annanias and his wife were theirs so they did not really lie because they were not given a chance to explain themselves. Even if if they lied should that lead to death Penalty? Peter who stood in judgment of them lied three times when he said he did not know Jesus yet was not killed. God himself is not above lying according to the Bible:
2 Chronicles 18:22 "Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets." 2 Thessalonians 2:11 "For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."
Why is it that God kills people at his whims for what would be considered minor offenses yet the devil who has not been shown to have killed anyone in the Bible is demonized? God has killed millions of people and has decreed infinite punishment for finite offenses and yet the devil is blamed for every imaginable thing. Can you show me anyone the devil has killed in the Bible? Are you really proud of the murders attributed to God in the Bible including those of women and children? Please do not engage in circular arguments. Easy please |

Another scripture to consider when discussing the pre-existence of Jesus is Phil 2v5-8 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross".KJV
The above scripture is a pointer to the fact that Jesus pre-exist his earthly birth, he only took the form of man when he was to be born as a man. |

Bay1970: Being AS and having AS wife/husband is not end of the world, it gives you only 25% of having SS(sickle cell), 25% of AA and 50% of AS. Can it be avoided if posible? yes, but education is only the answer. If you love your AS boy/girl friend, do not let AS stop you from having someone you really love as a life partner; you might end up having a bitch with AA and in hell for the rest of your life. If you are AS with AS wife/husband, please remember to do CVS on every pregency. CVS will detect SC at 12 wks 100%. Hello dear, I would love to let you know that the 25% chance can only be proven in textbooks and not always in reality. I was made to believe that in cross breeding it always happen in this order AA AS AS SS but my experience in practice has proven otherwise. I have seen AS couple with 4 children all SS so you imagine that in the light of the so called 25%. Some things are better avoided than managed. And again with or without CVS a child with SCD pass through untold pain. My conclusion AS & AS = NO AS & SS = NO SS & SS = NO (Other haemoglobinopathies not considered here) |

WHEN GOD CREATED THE WORLD HE HANDED IT OVER TO ADAM THEN ADAM SINED AND HANDED IT TO SATAN The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. PSAM115:16
LOOK AT WHAT SATAN TOLD JESUS And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.luke4:5-6 SATAN CONTROLS THE WIND AND ALL THE SYSTEMS OF THIS WORLD BUT HE CAN NOT USED THEM AGAINST THOSE THAT ARE BORN AGAIN CHILDREN OF GOD THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAY THOUGH WE ARE IN THE WORLD, WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD B/C THE WHOLE WORLD LIETH IN WICKEDNESS.
AS FOR JOB, EVEN SATAN TESTIFIED THAT GOD HAS A WALL OF PROTECTION AROUND HIM job1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
IT IS WRONG TO SAY GOD DID NOT PROTECT JOB FROM CALAMITIES.
I WAS TO ALSO STATE HERE THAT ALL SICKNESS AND EVIL SPIRITS ARE FROM THE DEVIL,HOW DO I KNOW, LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING VERSE OF SCRIPTURE acts10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
