Politics / Re: Daniel Bwala: Church Rat, Poisoned Holy Communion Is Comment Offensive by Shawl001(m): 8:18am On Oct 19, 2022
It's the convenience he has to use the Church or things related to the Body, as fallible examples that surprises me. He so unremorse and unashamed, yet he wants us to respect him and vote for him. We are not fools!

He has lost it for me. Why doesn't he try it with the Quran or Islam religion and let's see if he truly has the liver.

Religion / Re: If Jesus Died For Our Sins,then Came Back To Life,wouldn't That Break The Deal? by Shawl001(m): 2:50pm On Oct 16, 2022
englishmart:
The deal was that he who knew no sin, would die as a recompense for sin. After dying to save the world, he resurrected on the third day. Didn't his resurrection invalidate the deal?

For example, I hired and paid an assassin to get someone eliminated, few months later, I found out the person didn't die after all. Don't you think the deal falling through will trigger a refund?

Your example doesn't correlate with the initial statement.
Jesus died! No doubt about it. And that's all that's needed for the remission of sins.

But then, He went further, He resurrected from the Dead...(its different from, He didn't die). Now, His resurrection brought about the Newness of Life to every believer, and also, hope of a glorified and immortal body like the one He now has.
Its also a proof to creation that, what has died, can live again...whatever is it, if Only the same Spirit that raised Jesus up, dwells in it.

Shalom!

“Speaking or praying in the Hoky Ghost, is not a gift of the Spirit. It's an evidence, a sign, a proof that a Christian has been baptized of the Holy Spirit“.

I don't agree with this your above statement, please back it up with Scripture.

Also, you haven't answered my question, I have shown you evidence from the Bible that not all speak in tongues and you didn't address it.

Okay. smiley
Go to Acts.19.6 - And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

The Bible didn't they, some of them spoke in other tongues...the statement above proved that all the people that Paul laid hands on, spoke in tongues. Well, it happens that, some don't speak instantly at that moment. I've had many experiences with that...but sooner than later, they spoke!
Alps, at the House of Cornelius, while Peter was still speaking with them, the Holy Ghost fell on them and they began speaking in other tongues.
So, a believer SHOULD speak in other tongues if he is truly baptized of the Holy Ghost.

To prove that Tongues is a sign - 1Cor.14.22 - Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

Well said!

But don't you think the ‘proliferation’ of tongues in modern gospel music should be checked hence the devil take advantage of it. Moderation is key!

Truly, it's a thing of concern, and it's should be balanced. And thats where the musicians should strictly yeild to the leading of the Holy Spirit at all time, even while they sing.
To me, it's not all the songs I listen to. In fact, because you chanted or sang in Tongues, doesn't mean, I will listen to you. There are some that my spirit bears witness to, these are the ones I listen to. Many songs I've downloaded and had to delete after listening to them. They didn't carry Life, (to me o).

So what was Apostle Paul saying in 1 Corinthians 12:30 where he ask that, does all speak in tongues? In fact he even went further in 1 Corinthians 14:5 that he would prefer that believers prophesy because he that speaks in tongues edify himself but he that prophesy edifies the church.



What's your take on that?

Well, let's try and understand Paul's take on this subject. Firstly, he was writing to the Corinthians, and the Corinthian church was by far the most spiritually gifted church as at that time. That's why, most of the matters pertaining to spiritual gifts were mostly addressed in the letters to them.
It was a case of disorderliness, even in the church. They were all gifted by the Spirit...but there was no order among them. Hence Paul was trying to address that issue, and also had to chip in the issue of LOVE which is far impartant than all the gifts...just for them to "calm down and be orderly".
Speaking or praying in the Hoky Ghost, is not a gift of the Spirit. It's an evidence, a sign, a proof that a Christian has been baptized of the Holy Spirit. Paul, encouraged that, we should be able to "put it under control", while in the church or a spiritual gathering...cos we may, have other people who are not yet baptized and may not be able to flow along that path with us, hence, PROPHESYING! - to benefit the whole church.
Remember, even Paul said, "Thank God that I speak in Tongues more than ye all"...
But you won't catch him now blasting in Tongues because he can, everywhere he is, while people not "benefiting" from his teachings, or misnitrations.

I hope you get this now?

If you are conversant with the modern-day gospel music industry, you would have noticed a sudden surge of unknown tongues in many gospel songs from gospel artists of mostly black descent. This sudden development in my opinion is worthy of serious interrogation as the Bible says that we should test all spirits so as know which is of God [1 John 4:1].

The gospel songs I knew while growing up emphasized godly living using language(s) that can be understood. The hymns for example are written in plain language(s) and one can attest to the fact that those songs are divinely inspired and spirit-filled. Meanwhile, the present crops of gospel music raving the moment are mostly incorporated with unknown tongues and spiritual chants that can not be understood by anyone and yet we have not found a single interpreter to interpret the tongues in these popular songs. I believe that in itself negates the fundamental injunction stated by Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:27.

I have been to megachurches in several regions of Nigeria where I have heard worship leaders repeating the same tongues in these popular gospel records verbatim and I get confused each time. Damn! Something is wrong somewhere. It's almost impossible to hear a gospel record these days without hearing an unknown tongue in it. Could that be the latest marketing strategy to sell gospel records?

Yes! I believe in tongues but I also believe that not all spirit-filled Christians must speak in tongues. Some operate in other gifts like prophecy, Discernment, word of knowledge, words of wisdom, walking of miracles e.t.c [1 Corinthians 12:4-11]. it is the spirit that distributes these gifts but I wonder while the present church places much emphasis on tongues. Well, maybe that's because tongues are the easiest to fake. Maybe I said.

Now to my honest questions:

1. If speaking in tongues only edifies the one who speaks it and not the body of Christ as it is in 1 Corinthians 14:4, why will any gospel musician incorporate an unknown tongue in his or her song lyrics for the body of Christ?

2. Where exactly is it written in the Bible that Christians should sing in tongues? Is there anywhere in the Bible the Apostles did? I know pentecostal christians will mention 1 Corinthians 14:15 but is that what Apostle Paul was really saying in that passage?

3. Why were the ancient gospel songs not incorporated with unknown tongues as we have now? Could it be that modern Christian worship has been hijacked by strange spirits?

Above are my reservations about the sudden proliferation of unknown tongues in modern gospel music. I will appreciate answers with biblical reference(s) to my questions in the comment section.

Thanks!

I was following your narration oooo, until I got to the part where you wrote, "NOT ALL SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIANS MUST SPEAK IN TONGUES", I went off there.

You are wrong.
Speaking in Tongues as a sign of the baptism of the Holy Ghost is a MUST for all spirit filled Christians. You can't be spirit filled and not speak or pray in other Tongues. Not possible.
Moreover, the speaking in divers Tongues is a gift of the Spirit...not every one should. This is not the same as the Tongues you speak when you are filled with the Holy Ghost or when you pray in other Tongues. Pls note it.

Stop mixing them togeether.
Family / Re: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by Shawl001(m): 1:27pm On Oct 16, 2022
Do you think you need to remind her? Are you thinking she doesn't know? What if she does know about the situation, but she refused not to allow it dictate the flow of her life. She chose to be "intentially negligent" of it...for the sake of our peace, joy and sanity.
So do you want her to start thinking about it and end up into depression, and other evil vices?
What I will suggest is to consciously start praying for her in that aspect, and see the wonder working power of prayer.

Shalom!

Definitely it is a political move. I've seen this long before now, and I wrote it in one of the topics months back. I knew they wil release him this period. It's to create disunity in the South...especially in the Eastern part. IPOB wil rise up again, and the influence of Peter Obi will reduce, and if care is not taken, the youths in the East will be distracted led off course.
