hopefulLandlord:
a very convincing and intelligent rebuttal to Seun's post

sir, you always fail to see the bigger picture...


Revelation
22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Julivas:
Deuteronomy 28 : 3
“Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

SonofThunder,
Thank you brother for including me...
Boy do I love me some Isaiah 41.....Lord! Needed that and still need that one EVERY DAY!
I seemed to have skipped over this mention...but the Lord brought it back to me....and for good reason
I have so, so many...
I literally live in the Book of Psalms......I've set down shop....

But the one that I have literally taped on my steering wheel (over 2 years ago) so I can see it EVERYTIME I drive says this:

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
PSALM 32:8

A reminder that I AM NOT THE CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP. I am the passenger led by the Great "I AM THAT I AM"...the One Who knows what's best for me....because He loves me unconditionally. A reminder that I have been fearfully and wonderfully made...and are on this earth for a specific purpose.....
As long as I keep my eye focused on HIM ...regardless of the shaky ground or stormy seas around me....I will be guided and protected.
Lord...thank You!
Encouragement for all of those folks who need to be re-led back to their Maker.

P.S. Sorry for going off script GoodMuyis....
I got excited about something.

.
You are most welcome, stay blessed.

Amen...

Happy new year sukkot, I don't think I've heard your view on this but would like to hear it if you don't mind.

Isaiah 41:21
Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

Joh 14:12 Truly, Truly, I say to you, He that believes me, the miracles/ WORKS that I do will you also do;
and greater (more) miracles/WORKS than these shall you do; because I must soon go unto my Father.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Hi nairalanders, let's share timely and inspiring wisdom quotes from our spiritual father's if you have one. Thanks


1. It takes a lion heart to have a lion share By (Bishop Oyedepo)

This quote gives me Lotta of confidence whenever am at cross road, makes me remember every good things requires huge sacrifice (mentally, spiritually, monetary, requires my top most energy)


2. You are blessed to be a blessing, You become a subject of disgrace whenever you stopped being blessing to others. Bsp Oyedepo


This tells me I should always be of help to others, impact my knowledge (even if little) on others. Give to the needs. Do you know the good things about this? . I gain more idea and knowledge from people I impact, 90% come back to say "thank you" and render the little services they can to me.

3. No one handles an infant business like the owner. Pastor Olumuyiwa Emmanuel, living faith Osogbo.


Wow, I love this. This tells me no one can handle my business like myself, No amount of money I paid someone, he can never handle my business like me


4. Life is not a funfair, life is a war-fare. BSP Oyedepo.

This tells me nothing good comes easily, we fight war on earth everyday and I shouldn't be weigh than by little disappointment.

5. God don't bless group, he blesses individuals.

This tells me my father is rich, doesn't mean I will be reach if I don't work like my father.


Please note : These are my personal interpretations. You have the right to yours.


Add yours, thanks

Nice collections...

Amen

Good morning nairalanders.

I love mysteries, being thinking, researching and checking out copied Religion practices that from Christianity by traditional worshippers. Almost all practices of traditional religion acts were pirated from Christianity. Let's just say original and fake. Below are the ones I can remember.

1. Altar

An altar is the meeting point of divinity, its a place many people seek God's face, its a place of solution. Check Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, anywhere God speaks to them, they build altar there and give it a name. You can get a little place in your room, just make it special, make it your altar, and you will be glad you did. Christian also build altar of sacrifice in which make offerings to God from your abundance.

The traditional religion in turn builds a shrine for an altar ( pirated) . They make it place of solution, they make it place where they are untouchable, a place of meeting gods. See people who knows the value. They also in turn build altar of sacrifice by offering human, goats, chicken, oil. Etc.


2. The traditional practice disappear and re-appear, seriously this is pirated. The God's original form appears in both places. This is called tele-portation in the realm of the spirit. Also the distance might be covered in less than the normal time (1kings 18vs 44-46). he seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
A man on foot running ahead of a man on horse..

I have heard of prophets whom God told to get to airport, no ticket, no visa, just passport. He got into port rest room, came out and found himself in another country. Also a prophet who was to preach at two locations. He checked his scale of preference and went to one. After 3 days program or so, the place he didn't go sent him honorarium thanking him for the his time and preaching via out the program

Nice observations...

Seun:
This is a great excuse for unanswered prayers, since there is no way to prove that someone whose prayer was not answered had faith. And frankly, no sane person is totally free of doubt, so when your prayers fail, that microscopic sanity-induced speck of doubt that inevitably exists in your mind takes the blame.

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 6:5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; 6:9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Frenzy007:
Dude i swear i am just like you.i've always been a Christian because that was how i was brought up then later an atheist but now i just dont know.I believe there is a God why is beacurse i have had so may supernatural experiences and that makes believe that if the spiritual exist then God must exist.But i dont believe that God os good.God in fact is the cause of armed robbery kidnappers rapist assasin,infertility,Depression,slowpoke,blindess,immorality sickness and so many more.Why? Beacause they he is omnipresent omniwateva yet he created satan to be evil yet he put put apple in the garden,yet he made man vulnerable to temptation all this as a test? No because he knew wat he created and wat his creation lacks.Heaven they say is pure and without evil then why dont we think dat how did satan and his gang have evil thought,this us because God created him specially dat way.He knew wat he was doing.The truth is that we humans have believe that have a saviour we have hope that Good must always win evil that justice must prevail but what if i tell that ur savior was the one who brought fort ur problems or the problems of the world.people like felixmor or kingebukasblog would say oh God is testing humans but how u test someone whom u created to fail and whom you made so many things around him to make him fail and u even forsaw him failing.lol. What am trying to say his that you should look around you majority of the people who go to church daily they preach and all that are mostly doing bad things themselves you that have your own belief dont even do all that yet you are holier than them. Like dem God is an hypocrite a pretender the one who pretend to be good but he is nothing but evil.To seun hopefullandlord and other atheist believe me u there os God because supernatural things exist(the ones i experienced) then there has to be God.I just pity all this Christians like sonofthunder butterfly1ion kingebukablog because they dont even know wat there are worshiping they claim to know God to hear him to have felt him but in reality deep down in felixmor heart and othet christians the know its all a lie.
I believe there is God but i dont believe he is Good.
Must christians are not ready to accept the truth.They read this post they know am saying the truth but they push out of their heads cos they cant believe it they just can't that God almighty the one who above all is Nothing but EVIL.

SEUN AND SO ON.

1.) you aren't really like that dude in your mention (at least from your post).

2.) God is not just good, He's just.

3.) You may have to explain how God causes those things in your post.

4.) God never created Satan yo be evil, rather Satan derailed.

5.) Apple? dunno about that one oh... Lol.

6.) Satan being evil was a result of his (wrong) choice(s) and desire(s).

7.) You may have to explain how the saviour brought problems and what problems.

8.) Are you saying no one passes these tests you are talking about? I beg to differ.

I can only beg you, TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD...

Interesting...

Daviddson:
I have had this burden on me for at least two weeks now. It's been eating me, literally.
It's sickening to see that whenever one comes into this section, nearly 80% of the topics are about how to mock atheism or prove that we've read widely enough to quote several Christian researchers who either said atheism is this or that. We've left the message of the cross ➕ to constantly engage atheists in endless threads which are serving very little purpose. We are falling for the prey of the devil to think that our major message on this board is how to counter atheists, with different philosophical, intelligent, impressive quotes.
Brethren, we're missing it o.

Why can't we open threads where we can have discussion on how to watch out against subtle sins in our own lives, how to have a godly dating relationship, examine the doctrine of justification, the Rapture, good neighbourliness, how to win over family members who are yet to be saved, how to live peaceably with unbelievers without compromising our faith and whole lot of others?

Why must all of our threads be on atheism when there are "Christians" who are fornicators, secret cult members, adulterers, bribe takers and givers, fighters, etc?

Why can't we open threads to encourage other Christians who are facing tough times and are almost ready to call it quits with God or even take their own life?


Thank you for reading. I'll appreciate your contributions.

Ignorance?

Read Job 1:11-12,and then 2:3



If you still find it hard to comprehend, come back and I will give you more references.

the fact that your post's baked in half-truths means that you still yet to swim out of said ignorance...

@ point 1; I believe you are taking said scripture of God not beholding evil out of context and no, doesn't really mean as He has kicked him out before, He would have done so again if He wanted to.

@ point 3, God is the least of the reasons for Job's misfortune even Job saw this how come you can't? reason I asked you to dutifully study said book to the end as many times as is needed for you to understand it. Same speck that obstructed Job's sight seems to be obstructing yours.
