Politics / If You Notice Anything Like This In Your Town, BECOME VIGILANT by Sharingiscaring: 10:31am On Apr 02, 2021
There's this interesting lecture going on. I think that many people here on Nairaland need to listen to this episode...

For your own security, listen. This is from experience (you can also tell us if you can confirm it in your own experiences). Any time you start to notice more people greeting you like their lives depended on it, DON'T LET THEM FOOL YOU. Raise your alert level but DO NOT FEAR. Again, DO NOT FEAR OR BE WORRIED. Instead, start ruling.

I am here to share with you how I overcame such a situation in real life. I mean the forces of human jealousy. Make jealous people serve you instead of ruling you.

For instance, each time they make your heart ache, they are ruling you. They are ruling you by deciding how you feel, where or when.

You will see how to ride the storm of envy and make it favor you while fooling your detractors. I believe that this will help nearly everyone here.

First, hear this: any time you start getting extra honors from your townspeople, what it means is that YOU ARE BEGINNING TO ATTAIN RECOGNITION - obviously; isn't it? Of course, if you are attaining recognition, it's because you are excelling in something. But hear this...

When you are recognized, take the recognition if you like (I prefer you don't). You can accept the recognition if it makes you feel better. But, don't let it fool you into thinking EVERYONE RECOGNIZING YOU is happy doing that . A word is enough for a wise.

Who agrees with the bolded lines please. Just want to sample opinions.

Oga use your brain for once, the chat is talking about the suppose babe being at his 'house during the ordination'. So I ask which house or abi they Don dey do priestly ordination for house?

Even the choice of words dey give am out. The second line, read am again. if you are someone with the slightest idea of Catholic tradition you will not have been fooled easily except you the one trying to fool others.

OP just said Catholic priest; no name, no parish was named, not even his diocese.
I have the names, the photo of the priest as a seminarian, and the work place of the lady. But, I didn't share those because I didn't want to shame them. I only shared to discourage hypocrisy. Moreover, I suspected it might be fake too. The quoted diocese is Nnewi and the place of work of the lady is in Onitsha. Meanwhile, can you swear that there aren't Catholic priests who are sexually active? You talked about the house, are you telling me that seminarians don't live in houses before they're ordained?

I hate arrogance as much as God does.

Go and read 1 Corinthians chapter 4 and you will be very ashamed of getting so puffed up and harping on empty but powerless words. Many of you JWs only go around wasting your time arguing with people whereas you are totally bereft of what Christianity is all about.

Politics / "Chief Awolowo Took Poison" - Legit.ng by Sharingiscaring: 7:22pm On Mar 23, 2021
How true is this?

"Later, Chief Awolowo took poison, but the public was told that he had died in the bathroom while brushing his teeth".

What led to the death of Chief Obafemi Awolowo? Let’s deal! The cause of Papa Awo death raises some questions. Let's look into the history of Obafemi Awolowo and last things he was involved in before his death.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo was known as a founder of nationalism in Nigeria. He was a lawyer, publisher, nationalist, and significant political figure. Obafemi Awolowo held the Premier’s chair in the Western region from 1954 until Nigeria got complete independence from the UK in 1960. Chief Awolowo took a leading role in the constitutional conferences conducted in London and Lagos which opened the path for Nigerian independence.

Obafemi Awolowo was a leader of the opposition in the first Parliament after gaining independence and was considered as a Chief of the Yoruba people.

In 1979 and 1983, Papa Awo (as he was often called) was a presidential candidate of the Unity Party. But he lost the elections to Shehu Shagari who represented National Party from the Northern part of Nigeria. When the Government of Shehu Shagari was deposed because of a military coup in the 31st of December, 1983, Chief Obafemi Awolowo moved away from political affairs.

Some reports alleged that Papa Awo committed self-murder because he wanted to stop the probable growth of military tribunal into an uprising. Chief Awolowo was going to drive it with his political allies. The main reason was the intention of General Ibrahim Babangida, Nigerian Military President, to keep the helm of the country for life at that time. Obafemi Awolowo planned to remove Ibrahim Babangida from power with the help of armed people insurrection.

But, unfortunately, one of the participants in that campaign betrayed them and handed the record of the conspiracy to the military.

When everything was revealed, General Babangida held a meeting to Chief Awolowo and threatened him with prison and exile. Then Papa Awo allegedly decided to commit self-murder instead of spending the rest of his life in prison.

But before that, Obafemi Awolowo gathered his ‘comrades-in-arms’ again. At that meeting, the name of their traitor was revealed. According to Nigerian politician Mr Adebayo Adeyinka, it was Chief Lateef Jakande, the former Executive Governor of Lagos State. Although Jakande denied his guilt, the evidence was against him. To tell the truth, the former Governor still denies that they had any disagreements with Papa Awo.

Later Chief Awolowo took poison, but the public was told that he had died in the bathroom while brushing his teeth.

Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a political leader and true father of the nation. He believed that Nigeria should invest its resources into education and develop infrastructure.

Papa Awo organised the free of charge primary education for all pupils in the Western Region. Besides, he founded the first TV broadcast in Africa (1959). Also, Chief Awolowo provided electricity for Nigerian regions using earnings from the highly profitable cocoa export. He also led a children’s free health care program. Papa Awo created the name for Nigeria currency- Naira.

Perhaps, the time will come, and we’ll receive official and true information about Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s cause of death. Indeed, Papa Awo is a great Nigerian politician and founder of the nation. His contribution to the development of Nigeria is undeniable.

I though I would see very intelligent write-up supported with meaningful points but ended up seeing pure jealousy with poor understanding of Nigeria's political terrain.
Dangote got more support from GEJ than PMB.
When it's obvious Onyeama stole N/Delta money and established airpeace u supported him when the case was exposed u defended his crime but the hardworking Dangote who is so intelligent with foresight and careful business plan never involved himself in any business that will damage his name. He doesn't have oil rig, never entered oil business, was never a contractor, never had any deal with govt, he own abt 97% of his company share just to avoid the current accusations from children of hate.
This Dangote has family who were once richest in Africa before oil is discovered. I give u assignment to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Dangote got his money through govt. Like every Nigerian he has right to collect loan, to use all tools to succeed. Go and see how GEJ gave ur people licence to start modular refineries with billions of naira support from CBN but ended up looting the free money, but because u delusionally overlook the capacity of northerners, not expecting anything good from us that is why you're giving yourself HBP for his success.
What of Abdussamad, BUA if ur hate for Dangote is up to this extent?
Common drugs & prostitution your brothers and sisters export abroad u depend them in the name of hustle but you're accusing successful people for their hardwork.
Dangote family richest in Africa before 1970s? Prove it with fact. Whether BUA or Dangote, we know that they are all companies funded with Babangida loot. Nobody is talking about the Babangida loot because he is still alive. Do you honestly think that only Abacha looted our oil wealth? So, where is Babangida loot. Even 1% of Abacha loots are yet to be recovered.

I couldn't stop laughing the other day when I read a thread about people asking PDP to zone their presidential slot to the South. It's just like Tinubu hoping to get the APC presidential slot next year, lol!

Then, today, I read of Senator David Mark asking the FG (ie. Fulani Government) to intervene in the security situation in Benue. So, funny!

For Those Who Are Still Slow To Understand, This Is The Plan (Summarized):

Have you heard that Dangote's refinery now under construction is going to be
one of the biggest refineries in the world according to Forbes? Buhari made that possible as a part of the agenda to COMPLETELY dominate Nigerians economically. Once that happens, there will never be anybody in Nigeria with enough economic strength to challenge them. The money invested in that refinery is what should have been invested into a Government-owned refinery if there was no ulterior motive.

Already, they are occupying Aso Rock which gives them endless power to do whatever they like and no one can do anything about it - including killing, kidnapping, raping, and blackmailing Nigerians. And, how stupid we are to think that such a people would just let go on Aso Rock as weak GEJ did!

Look, this is the bitter truth Nigerians must know: WHETHER AS PDP, OR APC, OR PANADOL, OR WHATEVER, FULANI WILL RULE NIGERIA UNTIL THEY TURN THE WHOLE COUNTRY INTO A CALIPHATE unless something extraordinary forces them to give up power. The grand plan is to repeat the template that created the Sokoto Caliphate all over Nigeria but people can't see.

Or, didn't Buhari say it openly that they wouldn't rest until Sharia was ruling the whole country? He said that and yet Nigerians went ahead and made him the President against every warning to the contrary and now they are complaining.

Let's just deal with it: This country is becoming a caliphate soon - not a Muslim caliphate per se but FULANI Caliphate - just like Sokoto where no Muslim from any other tribe can ever be a Sultan.

Fulani is not giving up power again. They feel that Obasanjo and Jonathan were a mistake that they can never allow to repeat because it almost cost them the agenda. Yet, old Southerners like Tinubu, David Mark, Wike, Amaechi, and the Ohanaeze Ndigbo cannot see it! Tuale for Southern Nigerian stupidity. Absolutely!

MaxInDHouse:
Thanks for your response!

Where most Bible readers often miss out is not knowing the exact utterances that's directly referring to them.
First of all the Bible book of Mark Chapter 16 actually ended in verse 8 so the additional verses were not found in earlier manuscripts!
Secondly Jesus wasn't talking about miraculous healings when he said those that believe in him will do GREATER WORKS unless you just want to deceive yourself. Timothy was a bonafide member of the first century Christian congregation if what you're quoting is real why didn't the first century Christians heal Timothy miraculously instead of asking him to start drinking wine to manage his stomach ulcer? 1Timothy 5:23
The signs and wonders were only to show the Jews that God's promise regarding the new covenant has been fulfilled so whoever wants to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob should henceforth join the Christians.
That's why Paul told the Christians in Corinth that all those gifts WILL SEIZE {1Corinthians 13:8} and what will remain as identifying mark of pure worship is LOVE! 1Corinthians 13:13 compare to John 13:34-35

But if you want to believe otherwise it's OK, i wish you good luck in your search for Christians who are performing GREATER MIRACULOUS WORKS than Jesus Christ of Nazareth! smiley



Again, thank you for your patience and all. First, I want to let you know that I am enjoying my discussions with you especially because of your scriptural depth.

In Acts 17:11, the Berean Jews were commended as being "noble-minded" (and some translations say "open-minded"wink because they searched the scriptures with the aim to ascertain the truth and nothing but the truth - which is also my only aim for bringing this discussion here.

Based on this, I think it would be be more noble of us to stop using such jarring lines as "unless you want to deceive yourself" or "but if you want to believe otherwise...". I don't think we should be here just to win an argument. If that was our reason for this, I wouldn't be a part of it because I have a lot of things demanding my attention (likewise you, I believe) - after all, there's no trophy to win.

Rather, my own reasoning is that NO ONE KNOWS IT ALL. Hence, the need for discussions such as the ones the Bereans did and the one we are doing now. With this in mind, let me respond to your latest points:

Let me start with 1 Cor. 13:8 - about the seizure of prophesy, knowledge, and tongues. Yeah, healing and exorcism weren't mentioned there but they are implied. However, KNOWLEDGE is mentioned as one of the gifts that will pass away. Yet, knowledge is still here with us (at least, without trying to flatter you, YOU are displaying a lot of knowledge). This proves to me that the prophesy of Paul that those gifts WILL SEIZE is referring to the age to come. Otherwise, YOU wouldn't have this great knowledge that you have right now.

Then, coming to the supremacy of love in the worship of God (which you've been hammering on), I have this to say: Don't you think that healing the sick should be an important part of that love? For example, there are many instances in Jesus' life (eg. Matthew 14:14) that reveals that he healed because he was moved by compassion for the sick. With so many people hurting due to a lot of ailing conditions, don't you think that healing the sick, for example, is an important part of that love you're talking about?

As for Mark 16:9-20 which you said wasn't in the original manuscript: Yeah, I think I've heard that from a Catholic theologian too. From my own deductions, I think it's more of an attempt to avoid the responsibility of verses 17 to 18 that made theologians say that. Because, how can you also explain away the appearance of Jesus to Mary Magdalene and other disciples which is also within those verses? And if miracles were no longer relevant around the time, what could make a scribe add those long passages and it was accepted in the churches of those days? I can't imagine a scribe of that era being so corrupt as to tell those long lines of lies against his revered Lord Jesus. For what? So, I think that the scribe had another credible source for those verses (even if they weren't in the original manuscript of Mark's Gospel).

Finally, concerning Timothy's case: If you look above, you will see my scripture-based answer to someone who asked me for the purpose of miracles in the life of the church. I see that it's mainly to prove to unbelievers that you are truly of God and to bait them to listen to the message of God that you bear. This is a possible reason why Timothy didn't need a miracle because his faith was already confirmed. The same goes for Paul's "thorn in my flesh" in 2 Cor. 12:7ff which he asked God to remove but the Lord told him that "my grace is sufficient for you". From that scripture, I understand why God may give such a burden to a chosen vessel: It's to protect him/her from getting proud of the extraordinary abilities he/she has in Christ. See the underlined in the screenshot below:

paxonel:
ok,
Why did the believers have to perform signs and wonders, was it for show that they have power?

Read through the ministry of Jesus. His method of evangelism was to use signs and wonders as a bait to draw people, to have their attention and to preach the message of the Kingdom of God to them (see Matthew 4:23, 24). Indirectly, people had to listen because anyone who said he was sent from God and has superhuman abilities, seems more credible than someone just speaking without any power to show (see 1 Cor. 4:20). So, the miracles were also God's own testimony that he commissioned a vessel.

We too should follow the example of Jesus Christ in everything including in our method of evangelism. So, the reason for miracles?

1. As a bait to get people to listen. No wonder he said, "I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19).
2. As a proof that God is truly with you (see Acts 10:38; Mark 16:20)
Religion / Re: Where Is Any Christian Doing GREATER Works Than Jesus Did Today? by Sharingiscaring: 12:43pm On Mar 22, 2021
Jesus said this as recorded in Matthew 16:4...

paxonel:
A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away

And he also said this in Mark 16:15-18...

"Go into the WHOLE WORLD and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. But he that does not believe shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover".

Was Jesus contradicting himself? No. So, see my understanding of and how to reconcile the two passages:

A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign INSTEAD OF PERFORMING THE SIGNS THEMSELVES (because they can't since they are not in Christ)...

But, believers in Christ perform signs and wonders themselves INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR THEM (because they have the power).

I advise you reflect prayerfully on this before you respond. Thank you.

With gods of all kinds spiritists performing magic and taxing you guys for ten percent of your salaries can deceive you.
But it's only with the true God that LOVE, JOY and PEACE can reign in an Organization of people from all races! Isaiah 2:2-4
That's what you can't find anywhere else except in the midst of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! John 13:34-35 wink
And it's the greater WORKS Jesus never achieved in his time {John 14:12} not miracles because nobody can perform miracles even 1% of the miracles God's only begotten son performed {John 21:25} let that sink into that your empty skull! wink


No one doubts that Jesus commanded us to love, saying that love was going to be our identity as in John 13:35. But he also said that performing extraordinary acts would be our identity too as in Mark 16:15-18 which says, "Go into the WHOLE WORLD and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. But he that does not believe shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover".

Look at that scripture: Jesus commanded his immediate listeners to go out to the WHOLE WORLD and preach to EVERY CREATURE. Next, he says that those who believe (among EVERY CREATURE in the WHOLE WORLD) will have the characteristics in the bolded lines. The WHOLE WORLD included Nigeria and EVERY CREATURE included YOU and ME. Or, don't you think so?

That's a confirmation that John 14:12 is talking about miracles and not just love as you say. He mentioned our identities as love for one another and also as the ability to perform super-human acts (since we became superhuman through our oneness with him in love). Now, for me, accepting one identity while denying the other amounts to an attempt to escape half of your responsibility as a believer in Jesus Christ.

Remember that the statement on John 14:12 was part of the discussion that the Lord Jesus concluded with a prayer in John Chapter 17 where he said, "I'm not only praying for THESE ONES but also for those who will come to believe in me through their words" (verse 20).

I hope you will read this with a mind to know the will of God, and not just for the sake of winning an argument. It's my response to you after long hours of prayerful reflections on the matter. Moreover, I hope you know that the phrase "that your empty skull" that you used above is a contradiction of the Christian love you've been talking about. Thank you.

3. Dangote Group: With the founder of Dangote Group getting named as the richest African for the 10th time in a row this February, it's not difficult to fathom why the conglomerate is the second on this list. It would have been first if not for a reason I will disclose down below. 


Although Dangote Group took off as an FMCG firm, it's biggest concern currently is in cement production, throwing up about 46 million metric tons of cement annually. This huge output is sold across 10 African countries. 


With Dangote Group's oil refinery "expected to be one of the world's largest oil refineries once complete" according to Forbes' authoritative viewpoint, the company and its founder are expected to top world (not just African) charts back to back in a few years from now. They may even top my own list when that happens (for instance, if they solve the problem of gas scarcity for a considerable length of time)
Dangote should not be here sha. Dangote is only a conduit for milking the Nigerian economy. Where did he get the business sense to become the richest person in Africa?

Billions living today along with countless many who have died were also confused as to what Jesus meant in that statement!

First of all know that there is no one either living or dead that has ever performed Miracles closer in awesomeness to the great signs Jesus did within those three and a half years. So don't think he was talking about miraculous works otherwise Timothy a bonafide member of God's family in the house of faith in the first century would not be told to start drinking wine to manage his stomach ulcer {1Timothy 5:23} Jesus would have cured Timothy with just one word!

So what was the greater works Jesus said those who believe will do that he himself never achieved? undecided

Well Jesus' ministry wasn't about miracles there is a purpose for which Jesus preached and taught people in the first century. The purpose was to gather obedient mankind and train them on how they can become one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} so Jesus' ministry was commissioned for this purpose that's why he told his disciples that when they do what he asked them to do and successfully accomplish it the sign they will see before God's kingdom comes is having families throughout the earth {Mark 10:28-30} this means while Satan is achieving his own goal promoting hatred throughout the earth with Politics and Racism {Revelations 6:3-4} Jesus' true followers will be busy uniting faithful people globally {John 17:20-23} this is the good work Jesus slaved for three and a half years but couldn't even achieve among his twelve Jewish closest confidants {Luke 22:24} Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will continue from where he stopped for this purpose to be fulfilled {John 14:26} though he wish them PEACE {John 14:27} but it won't manifest until God's Holy Spirit start teaching them how to go about it! Galatians 5:22-23

So are Christians achieving this today?

Well true followers of Christ are proving themselves to be his Witnesses globally today {Act 1:8} as true subjects of the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} they've successfully impressed in the minds of millions the LOVE for God and their neighbours, they have vowed never to raise harmful weapons against their fellowman again, they have eradicated Nepotism, Racism and Politics from their midst {Isaiah 2:2-4} and they're now know Globally as a family of worshipers that LOVE reigns among them {John 13:34-35} no matter where you may come from people know JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES will LOVE you as their family once you become one of them! Matthew 12:46-49

This is the work Jesus started but JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES have done greater than what this wonderful counselor did when he walked the earth! John 14:12

God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley



OK, thank you for this. I will always bow to the voice of scripture and reason. So, let me digest your long response in prayer before I respond back.

Please if you don't mind, @Sharingiscaring kindly take a timeout from this thread and go and spend some time with God. Thanks.
Yes, that's what I'm doing already. Sharing God's word amounts to spending time out with God. But I will go solo once again after this session. Thanks.

Many Christians are doing greater works than Jesus did. Look well and you will see.

A few examples:
1. Jesus did not minister to more than a hundred thousands of people at a time. Some ministers have done that.

2. Jesus did not plant thousands of churches. Some ministers have done that.

3. Jesus did not heal people via the internet. Some ministers have done that.

This also applies to you:

Sharingiscaring:

What do you mean by "leading" souls to Christ? I understand that just ANYBODY can claim to lead souls to Christ. But, what's the GENUINE meaning of leading souls to Christ?

To answer that question, let's look at how Jesus himself led souls to himself. Matthew 4:23ff reports how he went about performing all sorts of wonders and therefore getting a multitude to FOLLOW him. In John 20:21, he said, "as the Father has sent me, so I send you". So, it means those he sent must prove their genuineness and draw people by that means as he did.

So, how are those people leading people to Christ. Every honest reading of John 14:11 - 14 shows that Jesus was referring to miraculous proofs. That's because, to be fair with people, you need to prove that you are really sent by God if you are since there are so many impostors everywhere. And to prove that it's really God who sent you, you must get that God to do what no human can do.

Now, we have all sorts of charlatans in every street corner claiming to be leading souls to Christ when they are only leading them to their bank accounts to pay and the women to their beds. It's to avoid such things obviously that Jesus would say that signs and wonders shall follow true believers in him as they followed him.

So, isn't it clear here that Jesus was talking about GREATER mighty works than just greater number of people? After all, there are religions that don't believe in Christ and they are winning greater numbers of people.

'Greater works' clearly do not refer to greater QUANTITY as it refers to greater QUALITY. Today, we have so many 'Christians' who do not care about Christ because they were drawn by fake promises that they would become overnight millionaires just by attending certain churches. When they come, an 'altar call' is made and they are asked to "say after me. Lord Jesus I believe I'm a sinner, etc" and you count them as people you've brought to Christ?

No way. Our faith is far more of a serious matter than that.

Then, talking of healing people via the internet, the question is who did that? Again, what kind of healing? Was it ordinary headache or did they speak to an amputated limb across the internet and it got restored?

Meanwhile, Jesus raised the dead from a distance. So, that wouldn't be GREATER work than Jesus did. Yet, I'd be glad if you could share some of the verifiable testimonials of healings across the internet. Thanks.

What you seek, you shall soon get...
Amen. And I have it already according to his word in Mark 11:23, 24. However, I mean to say that WE ALL should be seeking this including you. Meanwhile, thanks a lot for the prayer. I feel the warmth of the Holy Spirit in you from here.

... but hope you don't waste it because greater works comes with greater condemnation if you don't repent.

God bless.
If I didn't repent in any way, this warning is the reason why I am repenting FULLY from now. So, glorify the Lord with me for using you so mightily. And please pray even more that I may be truly and permanently confirmed in the Spirit of the Lord. Above all, please, pray that there be a new era of the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth characterized by absolute devotion to His will and the glory of God the Father through Him that the world may know beyond any reasonable doubt that He still lives in us as he said. Amen. Maranatha!

thesicilian:

Without meaning to derail from the topic at hand or sound blasphemous, it is worthy of note that you realize that just as there's no proof that everyone being led to Christ today will genuinely give their lives to, or remain in Christ, so also is there no biblical proof that those who followed Jesus personally, did so out of genuine love or remained believers. Afterall, it is on record that one of his inner circle betrayed him and a great number of those who followed him were also among those who chose the release of a hardened criminal over the release of Jesus.

In other words, my initial point was strictly about the number of lives being touched for Jesus today. There are many instances of millions of people giving their lives to Christ in one single crusade, much more than in the physical days of Jesus.

See eh, I like your reasoning but see where you are missing it: The reason God performs miracles is to make us have no genuine ground to doubt his truly chosen vessel. That's because he is a thoroughly fair God. But people can still harden their hearts in which case, no one can rightly accuse God if they get lost. That's why if you read Psalm 95:8 and 9, you see God telling the Israelites not to harden their hearts as their fathers did at Meribah when they refused to believe "THOUGH THEY SAW MY MIGHTY WORKS". See Hebrew 3:9 also.

So, miracles substantiate God as a just God who gives us EVERY opportunity to listen to his chosen vessels and repent. But, since we all have will power, we can still choose to refuse him in spite of all the proofs. If you still have any objection, let me know.

paxonel:
when Jesus said his disciples will do greater works he never meant today Christians will do greater works.
Ofcourse, his disciples of that time did the works of miracles Jesus meant they will do if they follow him.
He never mentioned today Christians.

I say no to this, and I back my 'no' with a scripture. That John Chapter 14 I'm talking about is a discussion Jesus was having with his disciples shortly before he was crucified. It continued until Chapter 17 where he concluded it with a long prayer. In that prayer he said, "I pray not only for THESE ones but also for those who shall believe in me THROUGH THEIR words" (John 17:20). This means that, all the while, he had been referring not only to "these ones but also to those who shall believe in me through their words". In Mark 16:17, 18, he said, "go out to the WHOLE WORLD and proclaim the good news to EVERY CREATURE. He that BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED shall be saved but he that doesn't believe shall be condemned. These signs shall follow those who BELIEVE: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues... They shall lay their hands on the sick who shall recover".

Remember that he was talking about ANYONE who shall BELIEVE in him anywhere in the WHOLE WORLD through the preaching of those he was addressing directly.
