RoyalDiadems:You have reduced my burden and help make justice to their questions,arguments and objections . Thank you very much . I was also attending to some discussions on this very thread and other threads . But you've help uphold the truth. May God continue to fill your with wisdom. |
LordReed:PLEASE READ ALL of these carefully Nope. My dictionary defines the word "credulous " "Etymology Originated in 1576, borrowed from Latin crēdulus, from crēdō ("to believe) Excessively ready to believe things; gullible. ▼ (obsolete) Believed too readily." I never said just believe without using your brain -that can led anyone into believeing a lie . God is against foolishness and that's foolishness. That is not what I meant . In your own words you wrote "That is not a recipe for OBTAINING truth." the bold word "OBTAINING" agrees with my notion that every truth is a product of inspiration and can not be created or formulated by one's independent self . You could remember I talked about exercising your senses . Exercising your senses is your own act but that which you put into exercise comes from somewhere else . For example you spoke about placebo before .I believe you were not born directly with the knowledge of placebo in your head but learnt it from somewhere or some persons or at school or wherever . But the point is you had to be taught before you knew it . your choice of using it (placebo) as a basis for argument is an act of your own exercise . The information was a product of inspiration But the grasping , of it content came by the exercise of you faculties . You see! Every point of argument you've made were all inspired subject and never a 100 percent product of your own mind . These help to see that man is a receptive and Dependant being that needs inspiration to make a meaning in life . You might be the one who farmed the food products that you ate today but you weren't the one who produced the seed . Somebody did and you took that persons product and then put it to work to get a desired result . There are two major realms of inspiration were men tap from. 1. The natural (or physical )realm 2. The supernatural (or spiritual) realm To understand the things of the natural realm all you need is to exercise your senses eg. Mind ,and intellect . Then reason with your brain to understand them . But to graps spiritual things it is different. You have to open your mind (turn your consciousness towards ) the holy spirit and let him fill it with inspiration then you exercise your senses eh. intellect ,mind ,emotion or intuition to discern what the inspiration you've got means . Only the holy spirit can teach you spiritual truth ,that's why he is called the spirit of truth As it is written . John 16:12-13 [12]“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. [13]However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. You see! You have to yield your mind to him to get inspiration but the discernment of that inspiration is your own business by exercising you ( soul) senses to discern. As it is written Job 32:8 [8]But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. your arguments or points you've made earlier were all also products of inspiration and you exercise you senses to discern them . The differences is were the inspiration comes from . Inspiration comes form etheir the flesh (natural realm ) Or the spirit (Spiritual realm) And you have been influenced and even received inspiration from these two realms without knowing. You a man And man is like a cup that needs to be filled with water from another source before it can dispense to the mouth of those who thirst. Your mind is are actually being influenced and inspired from by either what you can see (because they are physical ) Or what you can't see (because they are spiritual ) As it is written Romans 8:5 [5]Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants. You see ! You are actually being influenced and inspired . You can't create a single thing without the inputs of inspiration or influence from another source other than yourself . But the decision to yield is a product of your own will (exercise) at the beginning . |

THE TESTIMONY OF A FREED MAN : TWO KINGDOMS ONE SOUL. PAGE -13 Then suddenly i remembered that I haven't gone to the east side of the earth so i stood up ; girded my loins ; tighten my Sandals, and said to myself "you can do it , you are not a failure ." "You are born to win , go get it GO MAN ! " and with other words I motivated myself and summoned courage and strength from my heart into my body ,and then ran as fast as I could eastward before death would catch up with me . I ran through stones with terrible shapes . I ran through many deserts and was scourged by the heat of the sun . I climbed many mountains ,and crossed many rivers . I swum through many seas under whose belly lies canivourous aquatic animals . I Then came out to the river's shore and walked through miles I then arrived at a place with a sign post that reads "this way to THE GARDEN OF THE ➖EAST" AH! Finally made it ! I Exclaimed with joy Now I will survive ! I walk through that path and then saw a door by the left side . On the top of the door was inscribed the words "WELCOME TO EV-VEN" i entered through the door and saw different types of trees. the trees were so beautiful that no one will ever take thought to use them for fire wood ,furniture ,building or cut them down for any reason . I ran towards the trees and saw that they were very short that one need not to climb any of them befor plucking from their fruits . The fruits all glitters as if being made of gold , and emits charming aroma . I then lifted up my hands and plucked a glittering fruit from one of these trees ; brought it down to my mouth and gave a bite . Ah! " It taste GREAT ! Finally got it ! i finally made it " |

Another day is here again . How are you doing ? Hope all is well Wish you a blessed moment . |
It been long since I commented on this thread |
AntiChristian:You said AntiChristian:"The pre-Islamic Arabs worship many gods (in other words "idols " ) Yet they still believe in Allah as the supreme God " Meaning the Arabians who lived in Saudi then before the prophet of Islam was ever born knew Allah but there was no Islam in Saudi then. So the question is How does these pee-Islamic Arabs knew Allah even before the prophet was born and even (according to your statement ) believe in Allah as the supreme God and yet the word "ALLAH" is the name of the Islamic God and that name was not adopted ? The prophet father bears the name "abdullah " Meaning " slave of Allah " yet he was never a Muslim and still you would claim the name or word "ALLAH " was not an adopted name ? Is not the shahada that you say almost everyday pronounce in this wise "LA ilah ahillallah ? Meaning "LA means "No " ILAH means "God " Ahill means "except " Then Allah means " the god " Full translation will then be "No God except THE- GOD " the word for God in Arabic is ilah not Allah And the name of the Islamic god is not illah which is the word for God in Arabic instead . But the name of the islamic god is " Allah " Which means "the God " So the name Allah is actually referencing to a god So the question is which god is it referencing to ? That is what you should find out . Don't defend Islam because it is your religion or because you were born into it . But instead find the truth and defend the truth . If Islam is the truth that you eventually find when you do your unbiased investigation and when God reveals the truth to you then defend it but if it is not Islam but some other faith or believe then defend that faith or religion . You have to see this things with a non sentimental mindset or else you will keep deceiving yourself and at the end damage your soul forever. |
LordReed:No! I think you misquoted me sir . This is (part of )what I wrote below "You have asked a good question but the answer can not be gotten by merely exercising your intellect (though that's part of it ) but the truth can only be revealed or let's say "UNVEILED " You see ! I said " can not be gotten by merely exercising your intellect (though that's part of it )" In fact the bible says in Hebrews 5:13-14 [13]For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. [14]But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. It commends those who exercise their senses to discern both good and evil . So what am I trying to say ? What I meant to say is "though it is important to exercise your senses to discern the things of God or concerning God yet your senses are limited and lacks the full capacity to decipher the things of God because they are spiritual ." as it is written 1 Corinthians 2:14 [14]But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. It says " the things of God's spirit are to be spiritual discern even though you have the faculty for discernment which is your mind and intellect but yet you still need to open your mind for inspiration and yield your intellect for reasoning and your heart for meditation through the spirit of God ." simply put: allow the spirit of god to gain acces into your heart and let him teach you and inspire you with thoughts and imaginations that can not be created by the carnal capability of your mind unless that of the holy spirit . In other words: recieve Spiritual inspirations from the holy spirit then exercise your intellect to read in between and also ecercise your faculty of discernment to know what it means ,to gain understanding and to separate what is truth from what is falsehood. |
COMMENTARY : It also said in Jeremiah 2:13 [13]“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water. From only God is the fountain of water that can truly satisfy your soul ,and no other thing from which you derive pleasure . For in the days when all things becomes bitter you cry to only him and not to music ,movies ,football shows or to food or water It is to God that you do cry because only him can satisfy your heart . He designed it to be so |
COMMENTARY: THE SCRIPTURES says in Isaiah 55:1-3 [1]“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. [2]Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. [3]Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. |
The testimony of a freed man : two kingdoms one soul. PAGE -12 I turned and ran to the north side of the earth and saw different kinds of beutiful trees there . I ate from their fruits too but instead of dealing with my hunger the hunger increased . I also drank from the rivers there and they all increased my thirst instead of quenching them . I decide to go west- ward and the trees I found there were glittering and shinning like diamond ,and tall like the cedars of Lebanon. They were all full of fruits enough for a multitude of people. I was glad that I finally found something better at last ,and I drew near to one of the trees and ate from it fruit . After swallow the fruit my mouth tasted soar and my stomach ache me still . I decided to check on the rest to find out if they might be anyone whose fruits might differs but many of them tasted soar and unriped inside though they look fresh outside . my hunger increased terrible as if I would die any moment from then ,and then I ran to another tree and plucked it fruits and ate But They too had terrible tastes . I then gave up finding a good tree among the trees there because I could see that they were all bad trees ;for I know them by their fruits . Being wearied by the searching exercise I sat there waiting for death to ferry me away through the pangs of the thirst and hunger that I had ;for they war greatly against my soul . |
COMMENTARY : WHAT you just read up there about going to where he never intended to but yet went as if being influenced by a force is talking about the things you find yourself doing even when you don't intend to do them . Eg . Masturbating and watching pornography. Lying,stealing,and having sexual intercourse with various people or person . As it is writtenRomans 7:15-17 [15]For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. [16]If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. [17]But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. |
The testimony of a freed man : two kingdoms one soul. PAGE 11 : Afterwards I stood up and wandered up and down the earth . I moved vigorously As if been energized by a strange force ,and it felt like there was a invincible power or being influencing my steps and leading me to different places I never intended to go and my will couldn't stop the movement . I went left and right ,back and front looking for what I don't know and yet never find it . I gradually began to feel weak and tired Hungry and thirty for food and water . I walked round the earth and went through different parts and places looking for a tree whose fruit i could eat and a river whose water I could drink from . After searching for a while I the saw a grove of trees . I sat under these trees one after the other ,and ate from their fruits to quench my hunger . I ate and ate yet not satisfied but felt much hunger than I felt before eating their fruits. I also saw a river with its Water flowing directly towards me. I drank from the water but was not satisfied . My thirst instead became stronger . Then I decided to look for another river elsewhere maybe the water there can be able to quench my thirst ,and to look for another tree whose fruit can quench my hunger . I ran to the south side of the earth and saw different trees ,I ate from their fruits and they tasted sweet but as soon as I finish eating the fruits my tongue tasted bitter and my stomach began to ache me . I decided to look for a river to drink water and all the rivers I drank from there tasted strange and added to my thirst ,and made me feel thirsty than I was before drinking from them . |

COMMENTARY: The bible says the lost and unbelieving souls out there can not believe the gospel unless someone preach to them . Or have you not read it in the scripture which says Romans 10:11-15 [11]For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” [12]For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. [13]For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” [14]How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? [15]And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” The scripture says "how shall they preach unless they are sent ?" But do you know that if you are a christian then you are sent ? Or did you think preaching is for only those you call "MEN OF GOD ? " Are you not of God but of Satan ? No! You are also a man of God and you should preach because you are called . Yes you might be a doctor ,politician ,teacher,an engineer, a business person , a security personal ,a civil servant or maybe you have no job yet or you haven't reach the stage of work in because you are still studying (a student )or not even educated . Yet you are called to preach the gospel through the medium of any of the listed prefessions listed up there . Jesus after his resurrection and about to ascend to the heavens gave the commission to his followers(every christian) he says "Mark 16:15-16 [15]And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. [16]He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." |
COMMENTARY: If you are a Christian and you have contemplated about what you can do for God or what part you can play for the growth of the kingdom then read this Matthew 9:35-38 [35]Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [36]But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. [37]Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. [38]Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Jesus says you should pray that God send out more people to look for this lost souls so that they can be won to the kingdom like you . So try your best to be an intercessors and intercede for the lost out their . If you can do this then your life will surely count in eternity . DON'T JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE ANYHOW WITHOUT MAKING IMPACT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD . |
COMMENTARY: Peter says to follow Jesus . Talking about Jesus he said 1 Peter 2:21,24-25 [21]For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: [24]who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. [25]For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. You see Christ suffered for us for you He took the pain of your sins and paid the price by dying. And when you come to him he becomes the overseer and sheperd of you soul . Ho lost sheep your shepherd is seeking you . Only heed to his call . |
COMMENTARY: in the bible Jesus Christ narrated a parable to the people about a lost sheep Luke 15:3-7 [3]So He spoke this parable to them, saying: [4]“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? [5]And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. [6]And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ [7]I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. You see even if it's just one person who is lost among over 7 billion people said to be on earth Jesus says God would still seek that one person . He is seeking for you if you are lost out there All you need to do is to listen to his footstep and walk towards it so that he can find you and you to would be back home where you truly belong . the angels are waiting to rejoice because of you -heaven is waiting |
Ken4Christ:Yeah ! There are different set of people who would dare to deal with you if you chose to leave their religion . Some would threaten to seize one or two things from you . Some would cut off friendship with you . Some would deny you jobs ,and other KO DS of benefits . Some would threaten to kill you Some would be to banish you from their midst . I think I have face persecution it's just about the kinds of people around me and what they chose to do . And it hasn't ended yet ,only God knows what I might face in the future . But believers can help with their prayers for such people like myself . Thank you for noticing that . |
For me rccg has done a great thing and it ought to be commended by every Christian out there who understands kingdom . Majority of the muslims in this nation I want to believe do vote base on who and who is an adherent of there religion . I'm not saying we should be sentimental while voting but all I'm trying to say is align your mind with the mind of God and vote whoever God leads you to vote for. Check out the candidates and score them by the scriptures then let god lead you . And I think God's man will always be someone who is part of the body of Christ ,and rccg has taken the step to help identify such people and help build their potentials to greater height . Faruk should not be an hypocrite for if it's a case like this they do it on on the otherside than the choice has ever done . Kudos to pastor Adeboye |
the testimony of a frreed man Two kingdoms one soul . Page 10: I walk around ,lost and without hope ,and having no sherperd . I was like a lost sheep having no sherperd to look after me ,or to keep watch over me against the attacks of ravaging wolfs and wild animals . Ho how I wish I could have a savior The thoughts of my predicaments overwhelmed me ,then I burst into tears and wept . ho! How ho ho I'm eternally condemned and now going to hell eternal separated from god which is the just requirement of the law. then I fell flat with my face downward like someone who is dead |
Okay enough advice or preaching . Now get set for the next update . |
AntiChristian:I didn't ask you what's the Bible's opinion on what God's name is . I ask you what is the word for god in arabic And what is the name of the islamic god But yet all these while you are dodging the qouestion and diverting to find excuse . Go and learn the answer to those qouestion and then you will know better. The word for God and The name of God Are two different things But you will find out why in islam it is a struggle to differentiate the two . Study the history of mecca before the advent of Islam and tell me what the word for god was then before the prophet was born . And also tell me the name of the god they where worshipping before Islam came . If you can do your own research without being biase for your religious sentiment then you wiould know better |
I'm dropping today's update soon |
COMMENTARY: Everyone who doesn't have Jesus or accept him as their lord and savior is a wanderer on the face of the earth like Cain . And they will not know until they depart into eternity , And there they will find out that they have been distracted from finding the path of truth and instead wasted their time upon the earth ,even though they might be billionaires in dollars ,super stars with fame ,aristocrats with mighty influence or even leaders of the most powerful nations with exceeding authority upon the face of the earth . But still they are wanderers wasting time in vain . If you are in the category of such people I counsel you today to thread the path of wisdom of you indeed care about the eternal destination Of your precious soul . Do you know why you are here? Are you living life or just existing in time ? are you fulfilling purpose or you are out of alignment with what God predestined you to be ? God said to Jeremiah Jeremiah 1:5 [5]“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Do you know your ordination or you are living in distraction ? |
COMMENTARY: I have heard about some person(s )feeling suicidal or depressed and not knowing why . They have almost all of their desires but yet cant phantom why they feel the way they do . Sometimes or many times "ITS SPIRITUAL " IT'S A WARFARE OF THE MIND |
COMMENTARY: have you ever been Ina situation where you find yourself in a tough and incomprehensible situation ? And in that situation it seems like the whole world is against you ? People everywhere hates you ? No one cares to even ask "how have you been surviving ? " You are waiting for them to ask about your wellfare but instead they react like you should be the one who is to Carter for them . |
COMMENTARY: YEAH! It's true that sometimes one could feel like "I am lost ,what am I doing in this world ?" Sometimes you could feel lonely ,and when you look through the window to see if there is anyone who's willing to share something with you or who you could share you joy or burdens with You found out that there seems to be no one ,because everybody looks busy though many are not doing anything but they are busy . Too busy to listen to anyone's predicament or tales by moonlight . And in that ssituation you too get busy looking for somebody you could rapport with And there by couldn't hear others calling out to you or waiting on you to extend a hand of fellowship or help towards them . |
LordReed:You have asked a good question but the answer can not be gotten by merely exercising your intellect (though that's part of it ) but the truth can only be revealed or let's say "UNVEILED " so the nest step you have to take is to seek for revelation . God says in his word Jeremiah 33:3 [3]‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ You see ! You have to humble yourself and take this step : go stand in your secret place and lift up your heart to heaven ,and then say "I am a man who desires to know the truth. God if you truly exist then please reveal yourself to me in a way a can understand . Please whoever you are I desire to follow you and to walk with you in truth and in spirit . I Do not gurantee you to get a quick reply or answer, but trust me God will reveal himself to you after he has seen the sincerity and determination of your heart . I have heard of people who took this path and got the answers they were looking for . I myself have ask a thing from God one night before sleeping and he showed me what I ask that same night in a dream . But each ones experience might differ ,according to how God pleases to do . Having said that . Put this scriptures at the back of your heart Matthew 11:27 [27]All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Jeremiah 29:11-13 [11]For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. [12]Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. [13]And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. |
