Religion / Re: Where Is Any Christian Doing GREATER Works Than Jesus Did Today? by Sharingiscaring: 11:24am On Mar 21, 2021 |
obonujoker:Jesus never invited people anywhere. Instead, he walked on the streets and handled publicly known cases that no one could deny. Now, talking about 'Lord's Chosen' as they are called, here is my personal experience with them: I was once reading a large brochure where 'the Lord's Chosen' church chronicled 'miracles' that happened in the church. One of them was about someone from Benin Republic who was deaf and dumb from birth. The Benin Republic ex-deaf and dumb testified how he HEARD about the wonders the Lord was doing in a Nigerian church and decided to visit. When he got to Amuwo Odofin prayer camp, as the prayer was going on, the Pastor called out that there was someone from Benin Republic who was deaf and dumb and that he should come out. When he came out, the Pastor prayed for him and he got his healing! Beautiful! But my question is "how did a deaf and dumb from birth HEAR the Pastor?" If I told a single lie in that story, let God punish me severely. Do you see why Jesus was fair enough to deal with public cases WHERE THEY WERE? But today, they will invite you to a place and use all sorts of tactics to make you believe them - including stage lighting, sound effects, staged testimonials and even voodoo. Let them walk on the streets of Lagos or Port Harcourt or Enugu or Borno and deal with PUBLICLY known cases AS JESUS DID. |

thesicilian: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. 2 Likes |

In John 14:11 and 12, Jesus is quoted as saying, "believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me BECAUSE OF THE WORKS I DO. Truly truly I say unto you, ANYONE who believes in me, the works that I do shall HE do also, and GREATER works than THESE shall he do for I go unto the Father". www.nairaland.com/attachments/13289391_screenshot20210321060023_jpeg44adb24f5d2753bc3924b53ddb4dffdd So, where is ANYONE doing GREATER works than Jesus did? SEE WHY I ASK Jesus earlier said in John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by me". www.nairaland.com/attachments/13289390_screenshot20210321055903_jpegb66f9c5aed79fd844b38d437f997e322 Today's Christians love to quote this to prove that they are better than the people of other religions. But, I'm saying that if today's Christians can't live up to the demand of John 14:12, it is unfair to insist that people should accept John 14:6 as true because, even Jesus had proofs to show for his claims: "Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me. Otherwise, BELIEVE ME BECAUSE OF THE WORK I DO" (John 14:11). www.nairaland.com/attachments/13289392_screenshot20210320182335_jpeg7c55addf0721f33b4809d8c25290d83c |

Dtruthspeaker: Words of his servants? I already said it. When people were puffed up as you are puffed up right now, Apostle Paul challenged them as I'm challenging you also. He told them to not claim they are this or that but to prove what they claim they are by the power they manifest because "the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power" (1 Cor 4:20). I see that your problem comes from ignorance of God's word. As the Lord Jesus said, it's because "you neither know the scriptures nor the power of God" (Matthew 22:29). That's how many of you steal people's wives by claiming to be servants of God and threatening them with curses. You have been getting away with it but NO MORE. From today, all the evils you have been doing and hiding are exposed to your shame. And yes, you can't respond again because you don't have anything meaningful to say. You claim to be a servant of God but your words are so carnal, bereft of scriptures. What God are you serving? A cursed god or the God of blessings? The answer is clear. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker:Your words are feather weight. As for me, I declared as it is written while you are declaring your poor words from your dirty heart. So, standing by your words makes very little meaning. Instead, I stand by the words written before both of us were born. Deal with it. "Who speaks and it comes to pass if the Lord hasn't said so?" Is it you? Answer me. |

MaxInDHouse:Say it now. No need to wait because "NOW is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2). Say it now so that the 'churchgoers' will see it once and for all. |

Dtruthspeaker:The word that you believe in keeps judging you. I made a post to challenge Christians but you preferred to lay a curse on yourself. It remains with you as it is written. Yes, you did me NO EVIL as even you said because THE EVIL YOU TYPED ABOVE REMAINS YOURS FOREVER. The pit you dug, you have fallen into. So, remain cursed you curser-general of the world in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Amen. |
Religion / Re: A Challenge To All Christians Today by Sharingiscaring: 8:42am On Mar 21, 2021 |
Dtruthspeaker: The Bible that you believe in applies to you now, wherever you are and whoever you are. It is written, "he loved cursing and curses came upon him. He delighted not in blessing and so, it was far from him" (Psalm 109:17). He who digs a pit falls into it (Proverbs 26:27). So, your curses return to you FULLY, MULTIPLY, AND INEXORABLY because they belong to you. It's only fair that you have what belongs to you and YOU CANNOT GIVE THEM AWAY. You clothed yourself with cursing and so it soaks you deep right inside you forever and ever in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Amen.

Dtruthspeaker:Yes, miracles. Now, let me bring it home. Here in Nigeria, we have seen terrorists kill/kidnap pastors and reverends. We have seen them burn churches. But Christians only complain. Yet, they read in the Bible that Jesus said, "WHATSOEVER you ask in my name, that will I do that the Father be glorified in the Son". Do Christians like what terrorists are doing in Nigeria? Of course no. Now, since Christians have a blank check from God Himself to ask for WHATSOEVER and it shall be granted, why are they not asking for the terrorists to be totally defeated TODAY and it becomes so that the Father be glorified in the Son? Instead, it's jazz that's getting glorified in Sunday Igboho, ESN, etc. Why can't pastors like Adeboye, Mbaka, Johnson Suleiman, Oyakhilome, even T.B. Joshua, or any other Christian make a declaration on these terrorists in the name of Jesus Christ and it comes to pass? And YOU who know how to curse, why not use your curses against these wicked forces? Why are you making your faith a joke? |

Lighthouse50:Today, Christians are divided against one another. Each group arrogantly claims to be better than the other. Catholics think they are better than Pentecostals who in turn think they are better than Catholics and Anglicans etc. Such divisions existed in the early church between the followers of Paul and of Apollos. Paul condemned it by letting them know that both he and Apollos were "pursuing cow for ONE Alhaji who is Christ" so to speak. Then, he concluded it by saying how to know those who are truly working for that 'Alhaji' - it is not by what they say but by the POWER they manifest. "The Kingdom of God is not a matter of mere talks but is manifested in POWER" (1 Cor 4:20). So, both Jesus himself and Paul taught us that proofs are necessary and that we should have them. So, I'm asking, where are the Christians of today who are proving Jesus TRUE by manifesting the level of power he is reported to have manifested or GREATER than he manifested as his word stated in John 14:12?

So, on what ground are today's Christians asking people to accept John 14:6 as true if they are not meeting up with the demands of John 14:12 especially but also John 14:11-14? 1 Like

This is what I may call the John 14 challenge. It comes mainly from 2 verses of John Chapter 14 which are verses 6 and 12, In John 14:6, Jesus is quoted as saying, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one cometh unto the Father except by me". For many Christians, that is their reason for insisting that someone can only be saved by professing explicit faith in Jesus of Nazareth. However, these same people overlook the demand later made only 5 to 6 verses down. Jesus is quoted as saying in John 14:11-14, "believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me because of the works I do. Truly, truly, I say to you, ANYONE who believes in me, the work that I do shall he do also And GREATER works than these shall he do for I go unto the Father. And, WHATSOEVER you shall ask in my name, that will I do that the Father be glorified in the Son. WHATSOEVER you shall ask in my name, that will I do". First, these reports show that even Jesus acknowledged that proofs are necessary. You can't just claim that you are this or that. Rather, you need to PROVE your claim if you deserve to be listened to. Otherwise, stop making the claim. Jesus did not only say, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" but he also proved it by his mighty works. And he referenced those mighty works for validation. "Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me", he said. "Otherwise, BELIEVE ME FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORKS THEMSELVES". Immediately after that he said that the PROOF wouldn't just stop with him but would continue in ANYONE who believes in him. With a great emphasis he said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, ANYONE who believes in me, the work that I do shall he do also. And GREATER works than these shall he do...". Where can I find Christians who are doing UP TO the mighty works Jesus is reported to have done not to talk of those doing GREATER works than Jesus did? Where can I find them? If you know, tell me. But, if I can't find them, what justification do the Christians of today have for asking people to believe in Jesus? Even Jesus himself is quoted as having said, "even if you won't believe in me, at least believe because of the mighty works that you see me do" (paraphrased from John 14:11). 1 Like
