I don't get,, are we saying the whole flood like liquid we seeing in this pics is petrol? That place looks like a canal with water already inside of it obviously.. Or this people have a way of separating water from petrol? I dnt seems to understand hw many tankers wld have fell to make such pool..

Like I said earlier, I DON'T drink, and I don't preach nor support it, but supposing I go to a Christian brother's house, who is apparently NOT lacking in scriptural knowledge on this subject matter and I find wines in his house, do I become offended? , wld my conscience be hurt? , wld I think he has committed sin? wld I think he is now less a Christian? , wld I even think the holy spirit isn't in him? Or wld I conclude he lacks knowledge? NO!, because I have the knowledge that he is at liberty to drink wine.. But if the brother drinks carelessly( not meaning excessively or getting drunk) and he becomes an hindrance by giving offence to other people or brothers by making them sin because of his liberty, then ,HE SINs!!.. Romans 14(whole chapter) ,,1st Corinthians 10 vs 32...
So this is basically why drinking isn't edifying or helpful for a Christian, because even when you are certain you wnt get drunk,, yu cnt be certain you wnt offend others, and by so, you wnt be acting or fellowshiping in LOVE.. And this is basically why I don't drink and nt because wine in itself is a SIN.

gradeA:
Am glad you quoted Luke 1:15 in your write-up. The reason John the Baptist was forbidden from taking alcohol was because he would be filled with the Holy Spirit from birth.

Now alcohol was permitted in the dispensation of old, but we are now in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit, and it is forbidden.

Once we have the new birth in Christ, and are baptised in the Holy Ghost, we get to the stage John the Baptist was at birth and what applied to him becomes applicable to us.

Guys the conclusion remains once you are born again, and filled with the Spirit of God, you have no business with alcohol, be it a sip, gulp or total consumption.

cc; LEGALAide.

In all thy getting, get wisdom,, I don't drink myself, but I wld nt help but share the knowledge abt this issue,. John was a nazarite from birth, so was Samson, and one could even take the nazarite vow after birth. Paul asking Timothy to take wine was recorded in the new testament, wld we say Timothy wasn't beefd up with the holy spirit even when Paul ascertained this fact?. Paul said in 1 Timothy 3:3 that a BISHOP must be one NOT given to WINE, but said in verse 8 concerning the DEACONS as been one NOT GIVEN TO MUCH WINE(moderate drinking), wld we again say the DEACONS AREN'T to be filled with the holy spirit? I dnt support drinking because yu cnt really know when you ll get drunk, NO ONE drinks to get drunk, it's smthing yu can't control, or which most people cnt control. And when the Bible said if ur right hand will cause you to sin, cut it off, I believe the only way you ll get drunk is by drinking, so we can as well use the said analogy to support the claim. Also, when a new convert who is lacking in knowledge see you a brother in Christ drink, He might become offended and his conscience is hurt but his sin as a result of this will be upon YOU WHO HAS DRANK OR EATEN.study ROMANS chp 14 and this whole issue will become clear.
Having argued back and forth,, I will make you knw that of scriptural knowledge, DRINKING and NOT getting DRUNK ISN'T A SIN....SHALOM
MAY THE LORD IMPROVE US IN KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WORDS

So when do we hear that the specially battered one has bn sacked??

Or are churches having a different Christ they biliv in.?.. Someone pls help answer all ths

kle4d:

Oga the Catholic Church does not teach that you marry only Catholics.
Marry any Christian or someone who is willing to be converted to Christianity.
But the truth is a few Catholics never want to go outside the Catholic Church for reasons best known to them.
My elder brother, a catholic, married a Protestant and they are both Catholics today.
The girl I'm liking is a Protestant and she will end up a catholic.
We have a lot of Protestants out there who for no reason won't want to be Catholics like the OP (reasons best known to them).
The truth is I WAS BORN CATHOLIC, BRED CATHOLIC AND I WILL DIE A CATHOLIC . NO OFFENCE.

Wdnt you want to die with Christ rather than die a Catholic?? Just saying...

Toks2008:



Young lady you have no reason to castigate yourself alright...

You followed your heart and while i have always advised against initial gragra and asking people to be more cautious, i still believe that in this case the man played you by not telling you on time before you fell sheepishly for him.

Having said that,the choice is now yours. Many people will call for my head for this advice im about to give you and i do not care because many people are good at throwing words of advice without really looking deep into the situation.

You are a woman and ladies will fall for any man who can really melt their hearts in any way they believe is ok by them.Polygamy is not a sin and i have never seen a place in the bible that condemns it except an advice that as deacons and workers in GOD's vineyard we should be husband of one wife but there is never a place in the bible that condemns polygamy nevertheless i will not advice you to go into that union due to complexity and especially when you are still young because if you were in your late 30s i would have asked you to give it a shot if you are ok being the second wife and will not in anyway cry when the complexities begin to rear its head.

Nevertheless young lady, if you believe you are deeply in love and he is what you need whether because he is cute or rich or for whatever reason(But i can bet you will never fall in love with a broke married man) please go ahead and become a second wife if that is what rocks your boat.

As i have written before, should you decide to go ahead please do and follow your heart but be prepared for the complexities which could cost you your life if the first wife goes desperately diabolic or the man may go ahead and do same thing with you with a third lady so weigh the options before you make up your mind putting into consideration your heart desires.

You ve nt seen anywhere in the bible where it is written because you dnt even have a bible talk less of reading it... Pls dnt use the Bible in supporting immorality..

Following

I wld hve been more comfortable if they say a "church goer" converts to Islam.. People need to be knowledgeable of the difference BTW a CHRISTIAN and the afro mentioned... NO CHRISTIAN in the real sense of belief will think of converting to Islam, nt tht I am against the Islamic religion but it's just nt logical for one in Christ to fall back to Islam...

mubarakopeyemi:
This guy makes me laugh. Jesus can not save you. The Bible is just a book which has been seriously and exceedingly used to ridicule the divinity of God. That document can never be attributed to God. Should we start with akk those erotic expressions in songs of solomon we will attribute to God or the ridiculous contradiciotns or even the scientific gaffes. This dude just want to open my mouth.
The bible may contain very little word of God but its not from God. You can never compare the Quran to Bible. The Quran is a revelation directly from God through Angel Jibreel (Gabreil) to prophet Muhammad. No dilution. The Bible contains words of prophets words of historians words of Paul the inventor of Christianity.the Bible has it is has been seriously corrupted than the constitution of a land with weak Parliamentw system. The Qur'an is no match for the Bible. Be clear with that. All jesus crucification are all lies. Some said he was hanged some said he was crucified. The truth is that he was never crucified. It was said in the Qur'an.
Qur'an 4:157-- And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.

Mark 14:50-- Then all his disciples deserted him and ran away. They were not even there to witness it.

How is jesus your saviour?
Can you provide me a verse or any place in the Bible where jesus said he's your personal lord and savoir?
Even jesus your couldn't save himself. He had to ask the God at the top "why has he forsaken him"
Jesus himself in the Bible said he's a messenger sent by God.
John 17:3-- And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Acts 4:27 -- Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.
Acts 4:30--stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." this pkacevw actually means jesus himself doesn't have the power to perform miracles himself it was God the mighty who does it through jesus.
The Christians had fell into a great calamity of Paul and those that wrote the Bible. Shall I continue or just stop at this juncture
If you're ready to know th
e truth. You will accpet the truth.

Did you say apostle Paul invented Christianity?.. Urghhh,, you are wrong.. It's nt an invention,, Christianity is a submission and acceptance of Christ Jesus as ur Lord and saviour and of course yes,, He saves.. You quoted "mark 14:50" ,and linked it to the crucifixion of Christ Jesus, you wld v done ursef a lot of good if yu HD read the whole passage,, it was talking of the night when Judas led the pharisee to come arrest Jesus, far from the day he was crucified,, pls enlighten ursef about the word,, all ur scriptural quotes are taken out of context and given meaning yu wnt dem to suite which are wrong.. Pls seek knowledge

ibroauthen:



Hmmmm common sense is definitely not common! I want to know if u truly know your bible very well if only you can tell me d meaning of this word CHRIST!

Christ"christos" means messiah, saviour,Mediator, sin coverer, God's model on earth... I kud go on

Mubz:
The only reason why 80-90% of Nigerians are Christians is because they are born into the family. Someone suggested you read other books to expand your knowledge, and you start to trade insults at the person. Why don't you think, "God" must have given us a brain for a purpose, use it. Think about this; what if you were born in Syria, or Iran, or India or Shangai? One even went to the extent of saying Muslims, Buddhist, and all wont enter heaven, smh!. Try being logical; Was Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Noah or even Adam christians? I believe the Bible believed in the existence of these righteous beings, but then according to your ignorant self, they won't be going heaven, of course they are not Christians.
So please, just think, read vast, think, read vast, think.. Repeat these and you will be on your way to real salvation

Now wait, I am,not saying being a Christian isn't good, but if you are going to be one, make it justifiable by using God given gift "the brain"

I suppose the issue we have is the name," CHRISTIAN", that ordinarily would translate to someone who attends on Sundays the gathering of people who pray to God using the Name of Christ Jesus and this setting, yes many people are born into, this is the CHURCH and nt CHRISTIANITY.. No one is BORN a CHRISTIAN, it's a decision you make when you decide to bear the cross of Christ and have faith in him accordingly.. And it means to be Christ like, to have the character and behaviour of Christ in all doings..God wld have loved us to be like him and receive leading from him directly just like Moses,, Abraham, David and those prophets of then, yes these people aren't Christians in its definition but they are what we can refer to as God like, cos they receive leading from God himself, behaving like him on earth,, but as it grows difficult for people to believe in what they could nt see nor relate with physically, God sent his son, and He is saying, now dnt try behaving like me cos you cnt see me,, but behave like this person "CHRIST", at least you can see and relate with him, so when you do like him,, you are doing like me, because He is Me.. So it's that simple...

waice6571:

Jehovah witnesses will tell you the fact/reality but never the truth because they neither know nor have the truth about God, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, Heaven, Earth and Man. Pls be very careful!

Thank you,,people do not understand that there is a clear difference fact and truth.. It's a spiritual knowledge.. The latter is greater than the former..
