Alright we have something to talk about.... And that is ....

The life and ministry of Saint John the Baptist

I did have a brief discussion with some people I incidentally or coincidentally met about the great biblical figure, though brief but quite interesting.

In my subsequent posts, I will put up some questions and bible references to kick start this discussion

NB I am not going to write thesis on his life and ministry but salient questions for discussion.

At the end, what did we learn from his life, ministry and death in connection with Jesus Christ...

@damerry congratulations so far, things can only get better not the other way round. The Lord is your muscle

@Syncan thanks for those wonderful exhortations. More grace to you

@debbie thanks a lot for that "spiritual meat". God bless you plenty

@all may the joy of the Lord continually be our strength.

Hellooo abeg who dey house!

ISIL

This is getting out of hand

Syncan: You never see something, abeg sing along joor...everything na double double oooo...

Na double double.

Fantasywrita: Christ is Jesus. In Islam we call him prophet Isa.

Thanks.

Now if I may ask, why will the Ad-Dajjal according to islam be Anti-Christ (Jesus) and not Anti-Mohammed?

I suppose we know what Christ means-the anointed one. Can we for any reason also refer to Mohammed as "The Christ? If not then can we unanimously say Jesus is greater than Mohammed?

I don't know if I remotely made the questions clear.

shdemidemi: ^^ to some, if you ain't talking RCC and Mary, you are talking nonsense...

God's judgement isn't based on how loyal you are to your denomination o... BE AWARE!

Lol coming from someone who preaches two gospels and two Jesus .

Dragonking: You guys have your own forum..go there to your cave...abi that place no sweet..or Muhammad is dead there? or has Allah died in the islam section that you are all running down here to post islam topics...please carry your bokoharam beliefs and feed it to yourselves there..@maclatunji come and carry your people..Mynd44 i know you to be a hard working mod, better live to expectation now.

Hmm aren't you being unnecessarily paranoid?

Fantasywrita: Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "No prophet was sent but that
he warned his followers against the one-eyed liar
(Ad-Dajjal). Beware! He is blind in one eye, and
your Lord is not so, and there will be written
between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes (the word) Kafir
(i.e., disbeliever)." (This Hadith is also quoted by
Abu Huraira and Ibn 'Abbas).

*Note*

Ad-Dajjal is the Anti- Christ.

I don't know if here is the right place to ask but I have to, because of the bold.

If Ad-Dajjal is the anti-Christ, who is this Christ and how?

frankben:

I never followed you . Just checking some new topics on nairaland. .

By the way, i no longer do handshake.... I'd rather give you a thumb up

Ok keep it up

cococandy: Thought they said he was a white man.

Yeah he's a Liberian born American

frankben: you no dey miss any thread "catholic"

And you never relent in following me to any thread "Catholic"

Good move

Again? Am not surprised

Is this true? So who also started the idea of robbing kerosine after bathing with the salt water?

Ok we've heard him, but how will that stop the Ebola virus from spreading further in this country?

Who knows the said man may have acted on the instruction of the inventors of the said virus and now they refuse us the trial drug to enable the virus spread more to their advantage and economic boost in time to come.

Even when he knew what his coming down to Nigeria will cost us, he proceeded to come and endanger our country, may God judge him for this.

Yarns..... let me go to bed because this unfriendly solders won't allow one rest with their early morning parade.


I miss this house sha.

Congratulations dear

Syncan: But still we have a wisdom to offer those who have reached maturity: not a philosophy of our age, it is true, still less of the masters of our age, which are coming to their end. The hidden wisdom of God which we teach in our mysteries is the wisdom that God predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. It is a wisdom that none of the masters of this age have ever known, or they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory; we teach what scripture calls: the things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Cor 2:6-9.


Amen Amen: we teach the communion of saints, knowing that we have a cloud of witnesses Heb 12:1. We profess the Eucharistic Jesus, for the master had said "this is my body" Matt 26:26. We confess our sins and obtain pardon, for the Lord had said "whose sins you forgive is forgiven" Jn 20:23. We love the blessed virgin with a childlike love, for her son, our "brother and co-heir", had given us to her when he adopted us, for He said "...behold thy mother" Jn 19:27 . Yes, Yes, Oh we acknowledge the trinity, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" 1Jn 5:7. These are things beyond minds of men, yet we teach these; for they are the wisdom of God. It's been taught for two thousand years now, saints have died proclaiming these truths, miracles have followed men as they proclaim these truths, they will remain truths for eternity. Rejoice dear brethren, we are in the fold, listen to the shepherd, obey his voice, and we will be home; safe and dry.

My Faith! My Pride!

Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
Good morning bro

alexleo: But its not neccessary since yours tends to stop them from excercising their right.

It was a plea not an order and I find it necessary because you are already sounding pained.

Where is NAFDAC? Didn't they say anyone who claim to have cure for Ebola without certification will be arrested?

Nigerian Police Force over to you.

alexleo: Was Gombs attacking me? I don't see it that way except you are seeing it that way. Moreover the word "pity" has no place here pls. We all have the right to make our points.

....And I made mine

Syncan: hahahaha what manner of man is this . You claimed people appreciated your post, while mine was "nonsensical", then i decided to check the truthfulness of your claim, then i found out seven people appreciated mine enough to like it, and none liked yours . Now you want to make me ask the name for such a claim.

You and Gombs should pity Alexleo na, hia

OP so now, tithe has finally become the certificate to heaven?

Donfamous: Has the prophet been tsunamised also?
He shul come back To defend his point o. He said Armageddon will take place in 12 weeks time (den in mid -April) now its August

He said it will take place 17 weeks from then not 12. Well perhaps he's been nuked, we can only hope for his re-incarnation. Smh

You were better when you were Udeme4Christ, this your prophethood is questionable. Smh

ISIL? I doubt Palestinians will make the mistake of letting them in, if not they will turn round to do in palestine what the are doing in Iraq and Syria now.

woky: chai! you see feedingbottle for anybody hand here??

jnrbayano: ...Or anybody wey dem dey suck his nose

jnrbayano: Welu oche my brother, leave SalC and family biko

frankben: but it's advisable to attend weekday masses at least four times in a week.

Yeah, advisable, encouraged but not obligated.
