and this is the bible right? other families have their own holy books which they call the “word of God" .. in as much as you can put down their families as belonging to the devil based on your “word of god" they can also put down your family as belonging to the devil based on their “word of God".. so which “word of God" is lying?? and no.. you cannot prove yours by quoting from it because they can too


i have heard.. i don't have understanding.. my mind is corrupt.. my human mind cannot comprehend.. i have heard.. this is a public forum.. topics can be agreed to or criticized.. I've been asking simple questions . if you can't answer them, its best you say so instead of claiming i can't understand... thanks

I didn't mean to sound offensive or something. It's just that, Christianity is more than what the natural man can comprehend with his mind. The mind (five senses) is just to relate with earthly things, while the spirit which is you, is to connect and relate with spiritual things of God. That's where the main work is. It needs to be transformed and updated. That's where Jesus comes in. Nothing I say would be of value to you. 1Cor. 2:6-7 also sheds more light on this. Thanks.

Op, define religion from English dictionary?
The last time i checked,

RELIGION
the belief in a God or in a group of gods
,an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a God or a group of gods.
How does Christianity different from this definition or are you anti-education?

...believe in "a" God and not "the" God. As far as creation is concerned, we have just one God who is the Father of our Lord Jesus. Ephesians 3:14-15, sheds more light.

Wilgrea7:
ive been waiting for this


on what basis do you determine which family is headed by the devil? the God of your family might be neutral or the devil to another family.. so on what basis do you determine that the other family is headed by this devil? what UNIVERSAL basis?



different families have different places.. some families claim that hell is for anyone not in their family.. just as you have claimed that the other family goes to hell.. after you answer my question above.. please answer this.. which afterlife scenario painted by different families is true and on what basis do you determine which is true.. thanks

Basis? -By the word of God. You see, Your human mind cannot comprehend anything I say, no matter the proves I give or the basis you agitates for. Moreover, I didn't start up this thread to argue or exchange words, I did it to establish and make known a statement of truth. It's left for you to accept it or not. It's not by force, I am not putting a knife to your neck or terrorizing you if you don't accept it. So relax and just pass by. It's not mandatory to comment. You mustn't say something. If it's too big for you to decipher, leave it and go for something of your level. So stop pushing it. Just relax. Let those that have understanding of this matter contribute. Peace!

Also, if you are not part of this family, you definitely belong to the "other family"; the devil's. And an eternal place (each) is prepared for both families to enjoy the blissful presence and joy of their father. Ours is heaven and the other is hell, which is for the defiant ones, the disobedient and prideful ones.

The Bible says in the book of John chapter one verse twelve, " But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God." also Romans chapter eight verse fifteen to seventeen; gives more light... By these scriptures, it shows that there's a Family of God which consist of the children... And the truth is only through Jesus can anyone be adopted into the family.

Wilgrea7:
no no... the consequence applies to everyone who doesn't accept Jesus... according to your family irrespective of how good you were... as the common Christian saying goes “your good works can't redeem you"... assuming the Christian hell is not a threat but a consequence of not accepting Christ.. and other families have their own consequences(hell) for not following their ways... then how do you decide which consequence is the real one.. and on what criteria or grounds do you determine that??

Just tell me your plight perhaps I can render solution to it.

Wilgrea7:
if there is no compulsion, then why the threat of hell?... and what makes it superior to the threats from other families

Who threatened you? Who mentioned anything about hell? Your mind is contaminated my brother. Go wash it

Wilgrea7:
if you acknowledge that these familes exist and have their own fathers and your own family(Christianity) has it's own father... and your father is not a polygamist.. then why try to convince someone to abandon their father to follow yours?

Do you guys even read post with your mind at all? Well, I think, most of you read posts to comment or antagonize, and not to understand. I said, God has just one family family...and that is Christianity. I never acknowledge any other family nor debunk any. I only made a Statement of truth! And if there's an original, there should be a fake(s)

ScepticalPyrrho:
What makes christianity a religion is the fact that God is not in the family photo.

He was never there...

The children have been trying to paint him into the family photo... but they only manage to do more damage to the photo. They sometimes erase(kill) real people in the photo to create space for God. This they may say is the will of God that was never in the photo.

Are you sure you went through this post before posting it. I didn't see any sense in it.

Wilgrea7:
what if i told you that God's family is Islam? or Hinduism? or buddhism? Zoroastrianism? .. how did you come to the conclusion that these other families do not exist?.. this whole family analogy is a self destruct button.. what makes you feel other families do not exist?? you cannot say because other families have a different set of DNA(holy books) then they don't exist because they don't agree with your DNA..

I didn't say they didn't exist... I said God is not a polygamist. That's all!

LightandDarkness:
Apparently god told the Muslims the same thing

Did He?

Wilgrea7:
if Christianity is a family of Father and child, then why the compulsion on other families (Hindus.. muslims.. jews.. sikhs) to be adopted into your family ?

Smiles, and who said there are other families? God isn't a polygamist. He has just one family...and that's "Christianity".

Most of us have grown up with the concept that, Christianity is a kind of religion or one of the types of religion. It's wrong. That is just the face-value. It is far more and greater. God divinely orchestrated a means to gather "man" to Himself. A means to impart them with His kind of life. To give man a perfect and loving world in which everyone will be able to relate with Him like a big family. And for that cause did Jesus come to Earth, to open a pathway for us to God. Through Jesus, anyone can come to God's presence anytime and commune with Him. Thus, Christianity is the family; God is the Father, and we (both angels and saints alike) are the children. AMEN!

There are so many teachings today about virginity! One guy was telling me the other time how he so much desired to marry a lady that is a virgin like himself, as good as that sounds, it is not the ultimate! I have written a lot about the need to preserve sex for marriage, and wait till you are married before having sex, the truth is that singles should abstain from premarital sex, and the married should abstain from extra-marital affairs, they are not man-made rules, they are commands from God written in the Holy Scriptures! Run from sexual sin! No other sin clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body (1Cor 6:18) and Proverb 6: 32 says But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. So I’m not in any way undermining the sanctity of virginity!

But unfortunately, more emphasis has been laid on virginity at the detriment of purity! Lots of young people believe that virginity and purity are synonymous! Thinking if you are a virgin then you are sexually pure! Hear this! You can be a VIRGIN and STILL BE A FORNICATOR! You can be a virgin and still be guilty of sexual immorality, in other words, YOUR VIRGINITY CAN BE INTACT, whereas YOUR PURITY IS LOST!
Read what Jesus said: But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart (Mathew 5:28), so you discovered that the issue of fornication/adultery has gone pass virginity! The sin is committed in the heart before the outward manifestation!

Purity is not just about whether you’ve had sex before or not, Purity is about being sexually pure inwardly and outwardly, PURITY IS NOT AN EVENT, IT’S A LIFESTYLE!
So many youths are only concerned about keeping their virginity (which is good) but less concerned about what they do with their body, so many are still involved in pornography,Watching blue films on the Infinix Zero 4 dry-humping (caressing their bodies with clothes on), masturbating, lustful kissing, homosexuality, sexual imaginations etc… All those sexual activities render you impure, regardless of whether you are a virgin or not!
If you are a virgin, strive not to lose your virginity to anyone other than your husband or wife, if you’ve lost your virginity, strive not to continue in premarital sex! But above all STRIVE TO BE SEXUALLY PURE AND LIVE A LIFE OF HOLINESS IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS! PURITY............

hmmm, hardcore LAW-TEACHING.

tosinjay:
Christ said it that "many will come in my name", claiming that He Jesus is the "Christ" but will deceive many. We're seeing them these days more than ever because we're at the brink of the end. Joseph Prince, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copland, TD Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Chris Oyakhilome, David Oyedepo are but few of confirmed ones by their fruit. I don't mind mentioning names because i don't care and the bible isn't against this. Christ entered Jerusalem humbly serving but these men are getting served, many if them are not mere humans but we don't know, people don't know.
They were born normal, grew normal for a purpose just as the Antichrist himself will emerge soon not from no where but he grew once being an infant too.

ooh, you've just mentioned the TOP MOGULS OF THE GRACE NATION... it shows you are following.. sit back and continue learning.

breakingbad:
Why are Christians of nowadays so preoccupied with watering down the issue of sin? Pls stopeeeet. Preaching the Gospel we haven't done effectively yet we are busy bringing diversions and giving ppl licences to kwontinu sinning. Someone reads this and says to himself "I can remain a Vaseline crew member and still retain my first class ticket to heaven" IMO heaven has classes oo. U can't expect a new convert to have same ticket with a veteran soul winner. Classes go dey: 1st class, 2.1, 2.2 and let my people go

thats why you should study the book of Romans chapter 6 carefully. its provides concrete answer to your question. mid you, pls do not read with your carnal mind but with the mind of your spirit...the eyes of understanding. thats when you will get the actual message...

Lagos and you?

huh, am in Anambra,awka.

i need one..where do u reside?

in all des tins...i am still proud to be Yoruba. :Din all des tins...i am still proud to be Yoruba.

@OP, u really hit the nail on its head. It was as if, you were describing me. Most times I want to woo a lady, I will think about it for months or probably weeks and must be convinced that's what I want...and if I finally open up to you and you start playing hard to get; it turns me off instantly. And the whole feelings just crash. Ladies should always respect the great deal of boldness and confidence it takes some guys to open up there feelings to them. #hard to get is shit#

Just imagine say, one of der parents dey c all des pictures...aw dem go feel? #this is absurd and very awkward! Some aV passed on tru dis *fun*...# for God sake, der are oda ways dey can celebrate dem, instead of dis...

This is awesome... It shows God works in mysterious ways. Congratulations to you, @OP. All the best.

#thumbs up.

This is cool. Nice one bro!

Boring!

Why aren't Nairaland trolls inventive and funny anyone? All we have now are dimmwitted folks who intentionally misspell words and create dumb threads just to sound funny.

@adaksbullet, guess what? You are not funny. There are many other dimwitts like you such as boiledcorn, keketu etc using this style of trolling that you have adopted, so you don't even have your own personal style.

There are trolls who have made a mark and who people have come to love, the likes of mrcork, onila, andyblaze and ko, but you, you don't have what it takes to be like them, you are just a complete waste of cyber space.

I'd advise you deactivate you account and invest your time into something more important, instead of investing it on a boring online personality that no one gives a fuq about.

DAMN!

Well, I love everything about myself.
