Oh, so it's okay for you to insult my father, but i'll be a bad Christian if i insult yours? Why not ask your father for what you need then?

Laughs....
Don't mind the dude jare

Tahra:
Tell your comrade to watch the BS she's typing.A christian who insults,is that one a christian.Or do you now get medals abi na diamonds for every bullcrap you type against unbelievers?

Am sorry about that dear, so sorry... She wasn't just happy you spoke about our Lord, God Almighty in such manner, if you can learn to respect your father, who is just your caretaker like this, then how much the one who made you
Our Lord Jesus too got angry with the unbelievers who used the house of the Most High for business and financial gains

Respect your earthly father, but FEAR God and worship Him through Jesus Christ

Sorry once again Tehra

Tahra:
I'm not fighting anyone.I only need concrete evidence that Jesus exists.

The evidence you need is the fact that you are alive today Tehra..... For by His willingness we are alive, and why we are still sinners, He loves us still

Lordygram:
lol i am not perfect but apart from sex, i am 1000% steady in other areas, i dnt cause, i dnt smoke, i dnt drink, i dnt bear false witness against my neibour, i help if i have, i love everybody, i respect people, i am not a cultist, i dnt fight.. tahra be sincere, am i not legit?

Lust, the lust lurking in your heart, deal with it
How many times do you go church to worship?
Do you lust after a woman for sex, even without speaking to her?
Do you pay your tithes?
Do you tell the truth always, no matter how little the lies are?
How many times have you told a lady you love her, just so you get into her legs?
Do you lust for money, do you tell lies for money?
Do you keep malice?
Are you the proud type, who thinks he's holier than everyone around?
Do you show extreme love to the beggars outside, even though you don't know them?
How many times have you given clothes to those you are aware are not having, wearing one cloth for like a week
Search your conscience deeply, ARE YOU REALLY 1000% OK
[/b]If the trumpet blows now, and you have successfully asked for forgiveness for the sex you talked about above, wil you still make heaven?
It's by grace OP, nothing but [b]GRACE

Tahra:
I decide who I want to be and who I'm not.My religion is not s'pposed to be your concern at any point in time.Shogba e.

Religion doesn't give salvation, only Jesus Christ gives, He's the way, the truth and the life. No one cometh to the Father, except by Him

Tahra:
Have you spent 10years asking your dad to do something only for him to keep ignoring you like you don't matter?

Tahra, I have waited for almost 8 years to get just a good job, I prayed and prayed and yet the job came, I don't want to put the years I haven't started praying, if I have to? It makes it 13years
So what are you fighting?

Tahra:
He's as real as Merlin.They only exist in my imaginations.

Just imagine?
I personally,I have failed times without numbers, even though i prayed and believed, that I didn't get the much desired results doesn't mean He the Lord God is not listening
Everything happens for a reason and the Bible said it"time for everything "..
Change your idea about God, don't give the devil a chance

analice107:

Read your post again, you'd see why the Holy Spirit is aloof from you. If He can give you Jesus Christ even when you didn't ask him, what else won't He give to you, if you ask according to His Will?

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psalm:1:1

The bolded addresses your state of mind.

You have an earthly father, if you want a response from him, do you insult him?

I just don't know the right words to put your there for the writer,he spoke like am atheist, even though he's not

InsanePsycho:


Is this comment supposed to make some kind of sense?

Yes actually, the statement is very true and correct
InsanePsycho?.... What's that?

Nelson21:


Now i know what your problem is. You love judging and condemning people. That is why you strongly feel that a fake Christian is one that cannot see visions and prophesy.

I concur and agree with you @Nelson21

@OP, the Bible asks us not to judge, are you deeply sure that if Jesus comes this very moment, you will be ruptured?
Let's leave judgment for God

Nelson21:


So where in the Bible did it say that if you can't see visions and prophesy then you are a fake Christian. Who are you to judge one as a fake Christian?

And the Bible says if I cast out demons, speak in tongues etc and yet love not my brother, I know not God
Love of God and man is the key, knowing Jesus and following Him in spirit and truth is the key to heaven

InsanePsycho:
If you have experienced the holy spirit then you need to be admitted in a psychiatric hospital

Your mental illness has obviously progressed to the next stage

What are you saying, Anyway your signature and moniker says who you are

analice107:

There'r no fake Christians, maybe Baby or Carnal Christians.

Baby Christians are those who are saved but do not know their rights in Christ, hence remain under the tutelage of others. They have the Holy Spirit, but do not know how to harness Him. They'll tell you they've never encountered the Holy Spirit, but they have, because without Him, conviction to accept Christ wouldn't ve been possible in the first place.

The Baby Christians just needs a good teacher to enlighten them on how to know who the Holy Spirit is and how to relate with Him, so that they can have their needs met.

He is a teacher, make use of His teaching ministry.

He is our helper, use His helping Ministry.

He is our Comforter, ask Him for Comfort when need be.

He is our Healer, Call Him when in need of it. etc.

That they are yet to experience these doesn't mean they are fake.

Carnal Christians are those who are saved tho, but they are not productive because the yearnings of their flesh won't be put under check.

They tell you the Bible says "All have 'sinned' and fallen short of the glory of God, none is holy". But, they willingly overlook the 'Sinned' in the past tense.
The three levels of Sin still operates in their lives.

These ones, the Master calls them 'Thorny Christians'. The cares of the world wouldn't allow them be productive.


BUT, they are still some in the midst of the saved ones, they are called TARES, Tares are not even Christians, so shouldn't be called 'Fake'. They know why they are in Church. They are plants, with another lord over their lives. They have their own agenda to promote, which is to weaken them from within, give the church a bad name, teach errors and cause the saved ones to sin, use satanic powers to perform fake miracles to draw the insensitive to error.

They are in Church to choke holiness out of the saved ones, with Unholy desires.

Every native doctor today is a prophet. Marine worshippers are all Prophetesses. Astrologers and sorcerers are Prophets who have their Churches.


They are not fake, they are not Christians.

Matt.7:22-24
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?


And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew:7:23

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock

Christians are those who hears the sayings of Jesus and does them.

I completely agree with you, keeping the words of the Lord in truth makes you a good Christian and follower of Christ
Sometimes, the Holy Spirit talks to us via dreams, I have seen many dreams that looks like prophecy.... The Holy Spirit tells you what to do, guides you towards the right path. Those are also ways of encountering the Holy Spirit

You need to know that nobody can tell you about chances of getting visas, you may self evaluate yourself, the American embassy does not need to know what you have in your account, they judge by your profile and your power to convince them with your ties back home..

Jomol48:
Hello house, please I need your help urgently. I am planning to visit the US on a vacation probably December this year with my wife. Besides, We got married this month and my brother is inviting us over for the vacation. I work with a multinational food and beverage company and my wife works at a food and beverage company also but not multinational. I would like to know what to take along for the interview. We have no traveling experience out of the country before now. Please I need your quick response. Thanks

Multinationals are great working environments, may come in handy.... But no docs

NairaSand:


The second bolded [Making the US your first international destination] was never an issue. I and a couple of friends successfully did.

The subject's case just come off as rather fishy.

I concur 100%......

NairaSand:


I'd be surprised if even you believe your own story

2015: So happily married you planned going on vacation with wife.
2016: Family differences and you broke up with wife.
2017: Have a new wife and everything is rosy. So rosy you want to blow a couple of millions on vacation.

The bible says judge not so you will not be judged, but guess what? It's the VO's job to be your judge. Your story just doesn't make any sense!

You and your wife have zero travel experience as a couple and the first place you want to take her is the US. How rich must you be to even be able to comfortable afford that. So rich you haven't traveled anywhere else?

Oh please.

I agree with you at the bolded, I also smell a rat....

But at the second bolded may not actually be an issue, in some cases, but for issue of divorce as though is easy"irresponsibility"it may blow alarm

LadyGuinivere:

Bia this man! Why are you doing like a newbie? Just to drop one line na e you quote one page? Mind your feeling mula o!

Boredom is killing me in this Enugu I carry myself come. This place dry o!

Wait make I come carry you go chop isi - ewu....
I tired ni

smokeydrinky:
We got to the consulate around past 6am. Omo, the crowd and queuing no be here. I thought it would get better once we are inside the interview room but no, same crowd and queue. My kids were making alot of noise and generally being difficult to control but me and hubby had to smile through it all, calmly and lovingly calling them to other, but for where? Plus I was on heels. I was just praying for a miracle and it came. They had to consider us because of the kids and told us to join 3 people standing before window 3. Once there. I took time to note the outcome of their interview, all 3 plus the one being interviewed when we joined the queue were denied. Ha, I was just calmly saying that our case is different. Fast-forward to our turn....

Us: Good morning ( with a smile)
Vo: Good morning. Takes our passport does some things.....
Vo: why huston?
Hubby: from our research, it's a cool and nice place. ( this must be tension coz I told him from research it's actually not as cold as some other parts of US so I lean in..... The vo smirked when I took over from my husband and nodded his head)
Me: Yea, it's a nice place and the weather seems to be not as cold as some other areas, we would also love to visit NASA space center, the children's museum.... But we would also love to go to Florida towards the end of our vacation so the kids can visit Disneyland. At this point, hubby had gone to get our kids who were running around so I proceeded to place them on top of the counter.
Vo: Sir Wat do you do
Hubby: Im the CEO of xyz
Vo: WATS your business all about
Hubby: explains very briefly
Vo: Madam Wat do you do
Me: Im a lawyer, the legal adviser to my husband's company ( touches hubby)
Vo: Yea. (so I stop further explanation)
Vo: have you travelled out before?
Hubby: (didn't get the question) you mean family vacation?
Vo: yes.
Hubby : we have been to few places in Nigeria together but haven't traveled out together. My wife and kid went on a vacation when she was pregnant with the second. I should have joined them but last minute constraints from work prevented me.
Vo: Have you traveled out yourself?
Hubby : yes. Severally to China but always on business. ( he didn't add the other countries he has been to and I don't know why. Maybe tension or coz they r all in his old passport which we didn't bring)
Vo: do you have other kids?
Me : no, just the two.
Vo: do you have any relative in America
Me: no.
Vo: Sir how long have you been in business
Hubby: answers
Vo starts typing.... The kids were running around again and I was turning my head looking for them while hubby dashes off to get them.
Vo: I will be approving your visas, brings a white paper, circle an address and said ' Pls pick up....... I no hear the rest
Me and dh: thank you.( with a smile)

Na so we carry our kids, and our very precious white paper and left. All thanks to God, and to you all. I read and read and read this thread like someone that is preparing for bar finals . Shared what I learnt with hubby. Our interview wasn't more than 2 minutes. I went with everything, na only police report I no bring but absolutely nothing was asked for.

Please I have a question, why do people make their kids put on school uniform for the interview?

Congrats smokey

MasterofNL:
If you claim to be a Christian and see nothing wrong with marrying a Muslim then your Christianity is questionable.

No Christian who knows and understands the word of God will marry a Muslim or allow their children marry Muslims.

We are not to hate Muslims because the Bible tells us to love everyone but we CANNOT marry them.

For those of you that usually say your tribe comes before your Christianity just know that you are not true Christians because the bond that comes from the blood of Jesus is stronger than any tribal bond.

I rest my case.

FACT

quivah:

you better start praying for your own self. vein ko, artillery ni.

person wey hin own heaven never dey sure, dey yarn rubbish for another person matter. devil might delegate dalaman to hold your whip in hell o. you better be careful now.

ask yourself truthfully, is the blood of Jesus not on 'vein' in your life..

Yes I saw the mistake, I meant vain...
But I also know that am not holy not perfect, yet I pray for God's mercy and grace to fulfil His word daily in my life, so I can make heaven.. And yes, John 3:16 Said it.... For God so love the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believe that in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life
And the Bible noted, without holiness no man can see God, I know all this things... And that is why I strife and pray to make it.... I agree I am saying rubbish, but not judge my dear.... Salvation is a personal race
Are you also one of them

segunojo866:
I hope Jesus Christ is always ready to kiss atheists ass?

You are good in speaking blasphemous words, truth is you and the millions like you around the globe will surely repent and confess Jesus as Lord and savior, only thing is that it should not be late by then.... Amen

butterflyl1on:


And who is the Catholic Church? So because they accept it then I should? You do realise that accepting microevolution is not the same as accepting macro evolution.

So because scientists claim evolution is true even when science and discoveries is constantly changing you also believe it. Yet you say the religious are indoctrinated


indoctrination
noun
the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically

A lot of scientists also disregard evolution and call it a stupid claim. In fact a lot of scientists who were atheists ran from atheism due to their discoveries about the sham called evolution.

E. G Jerry Bergman, Ph.D, Anthony Flew, A. N. Wilson, Rossiter, Dr. Richard Lumsden (you should listen to this guy. He is one of the best cell biologists out there) but dropped atheism for Christ due to evolution nonsense.

Dr. Richard Lumsden was former professor of parasitology and cell biology. He published over 90 peer reviewed papers on parasitology and new species.

The list is so many. So even your science has many challengers who are the things they deny and proclaim their own truth which science claims to be a lie. If science is true then why are their own former adherents seeing something else and seeing the lies therein and quickly decamping?

The good news is that Jesus is always ready to accept whoever confesses his sin and come to Him

dalaman:


You are regurgitating mythology. Yahweh is not my creator. You were only indoctrinated and.made to believe he is. The devil is another mythical construct. I don't believe in both because they don't exist in reality. Your God can not fight anything because he's fictional. He can only fight in the pages of the bible and in your mind because those are the only places he exist. He doesn't exist in reality.

I need not say more than this henceforth, cos darkness and light have nothing in common, may the peace of the Lord Jesus be with you and family now and always
May He grant you chance to see thru your nostrils
This prayer is for you and other atheist like you
Amen

dalaman:



Stop this childish nonsense pls. You think you can care me into believing your fictional and mythological narratives with death? You are a joke. Am not afraid of death and what will come after it because I know that your belief is fictional. Do you lose any sleep when a muslim tells you that you'll go to hell for disbelieving Allah and Mohammed his last messenger?

You sound childish when you make threats over fictional places.

I repeat any body that believes that passage in Psalm is a fool, who ever wrote it is a fool and which ever God it was written in support of is also a fool.

I don't need to loose sleep, coz the Muslims themselves don't believe in Jesus, and JESUS is the only way
You dare call you GOD, your creator a fool, even the devil dares not, Satan has sized your soul.... And JESUS weeps for your soul, yet calling you each day
But then nobody can fight for GOD, He knows how to fight Himself...... Salvation is a personal race, and am running mine

butterflyl1on:


amen! never cease to declare the truth bro. God above everything!

If the atheist says there is no God, simply because they can't see Him, then they don't have brain, because they can't see their brains
Simple......

dalaman:



You, the person who wrote that passage and the God it was written in support of are all foolish foools.

The problem is that there is no salvation after death and repentance, with your two legs and in high speed will you run to hell if you die like this
But I pray to God that, the blood of our Lord Jesus which was shed on the cross of calvary for you will not be in vein in Jesus name
