How did the sun stand still during Joshua's time because from my lessons, the sun is relatively static

Don't be ridiculous, scoffer! The sun represent the day just as the moon by night. The case in point was for daytime to remain for as long as it takes to finish what Joshua was doing. We have day and night because of the earth rotation, but the EMPHASIS here was DAYTIME represented by the sun! It would make no sense to say "Let the earth stood still" when the earth actually controls both day and night, and what Joshua needed here was the sun or day! Joshua wasn't in a geography class teaching geography student, hence, the static or non static of the sun doesn't arise.

And of course, there's what is called PERSONIFICATION in literature, and I'll advise you to go and learn its meaning!

1john 3:4" Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

Thank you! And now, did you say the Law has been abolished? If yes, which of the law, the one that actually defined sin or some other law? As usual, please provide your answers strictly scripturally based.

Isn't it rather too late, when people have already resorted to self-defense? Buhari has never gotten anything right!

Gombs:
anything outside God's word. The bible lets us know that God's word is truth, Jesus said so actually...therefore, sin is anything inconsistent with the word of God.

Thanks, you're right in a sense. But, I can't accept your definition because it has fall short of God's definition. Remember I said, "answer it scripturally, and do not add or omit". Thanks all the same.

How is it heresies brother? if you know better why not come up with a better understanding?

Soon the whole world will see the fulfillment of Revelation 11:15: “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.” Just as there is no doubt that countries today represent real, literal, physical kingdoms (governments), there can be no doubt, from just this passage, that God’s coming government is also real and literal.
Jesus Christ was born to be a King—to rule all nations of the earth forever with the help of other spirit-composed kings (Revelation 1:6). This is the central theme of the entire Bible. Notice: “And out of His [Christ’s] mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron…and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Rev. 19:15-16).

Entering the Kingdom

The Bible teaches that the kingdom of God rules OVER the people and nations of the earth. The nations are not actually part of the kingdom, any more than the average citizen of any country is part of the government that rules over them. One must ENTER the kingdom of God to be in it. Therefore, we must ask: As distinct from those who are governed by it, who is actually IN the kingdom?
In I Corinthians 15:50-51, Paul stated, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery…” Certainly, this is a mystery to almost everyone—that flesh and blood human beings cannot enter the kingdom of God. It would be helpful to read the entirety of this “resurrection chapter” of I Corinthians 15. Only at the resurrection are human beings (all true Christians) changed (born again) from flesh to spirit.

A series of verses in John 3 is commonly misunderstood by those who believe that they can be “born again” in this life (while they are still composed of flesh and blood) and see the kingdom of God.

In this account, Nicodemus, a Pharisee, approached Christ and acknowledged in verse 2: “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God.” He plainly admitted that they knew who Christ was and who had sent Him to earth. Notice that Nicodemus spoke for more than himself when he stated, “we know.” He was referring to himself and the other Pharisees who recognized who and what Jesus Christ was. They could not deny the power of God evident in the miracles that Christ was performing.
The religious leaders, the Pharisees, well understood that He was a “teacher come from God” bringing the truth. They still called Him a blasphemer, drunkard, heretic, seditionist, bastard, ignorant, demon-possessed, false prophet and more—and crucified Him!
Many people see the plain truth of the Bible, yet choose to ignore it in order to hold to their own traditions (Mark 7:7) and ideas!
Christ told Nicodemus, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (vs. 3). He explained that only by being born again can one actually “see” God’s kingdom. So, there is a limitation on who can see the kingdom. But there is no limitation on physical people seeing either a church or an empire. Anyone of any religion or belief can see any other physical item.
Grasp these critical points that Christ is making!
In verse 5, Christ states that unless one is “born of water and of the Spirit,” he “cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Yes, the kingdom is something that can be “entered into”—but Christ explains His “born of water [baptism] and of the Spirit” phrase in verse 6: “That which is born of the flesh IS flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit IS spirit.”
Flesh and blood cannot enter into the kingdom of God—but spirit can! Because Christ wanted to allow no room for misunderstanding, He likened spirit to wind. Wind, like spirit, is invisible. It cannot be seen. Therefore, those in the kingdom must be composed of spirit.

Finally, the kingdom of God cannot include flesh and blood people!

Very well then. I actually wanted to see if you'll want that better understanding.

Your excellency, I know where you're coming from: because he was defeated. But hear this, “Anyone can deal with victory. Only the mighty can bear defeat.”― Adolf Hitler. Johnathan may have contested and loss, but in his defeat, he emerged a hero of democracy!

You're preaching heresies out of ignorance.

What is sin? Please answer it Scripturally, and do not add or omit. Thanks

Ratello:
The same workers you short-changed while serving as Governor of Kwara State? This demonic fetish man is really unrepentant.... Snipers are truly needed! Ole jatijati. He is now wishing them well after stealing away their future, this bloody rogue is richer than Kwara State.

Calm down. 2019 will soon be here. I'll advice you to pick a form and contest as a governor, so you can show Kwarans love & prosperity. This way, Saraki will be truly sorry & repent when he sees your good works which he couldn't do. For now, Saraki is certainly not the only looter, and is even yet to see a repentant one.

The one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church!

Speaking out for the oppressed since 3 AD

You mean the Apostles actually handed down the idolatrous practices of your church? I never know oo

Pathetic lot.

In zombies voice, "it's only wailers that are losing hope".

Lol....... see players.....

It will be very profitable for us viewers if you can paste the Bible quotes of your references up for us to. Read here. I'm tired of turning bible to. And fro following your. Discussion

I knew the important of posting Bible quotation directly, just as I've done in all of my contribution. Hope you've seen them?

These guys are funny sha. How can Buhari give you what he doesn't have?

First of all go and learn the working of the Nigerian government. Why is the president called C-in-C of the armed forces?

Why sir? Have you forgotten that Baba is the only saint in this country, and only he is sanctimonious enough to answer our prayers? Na only Baba oo

Okay commissioner Osinbade, how does this your tales translate to economy boom for us?

If this is true this is sad

Tiwa shd av been more patient i understand she is a super star she has a lot to do with limited time
occasions to grace,show to perform at,tours,studio recording,brand ambassador,shows,nd so on.
She cud av drafted her life plan or schedule well .
She shd av made family her priority she knew who she got married to she cud av before sacking her husband as her manager she cud av indirectly or directly gotten him a job i kno it sounds awkward bt marriage means he is like ur soul mate u are now one body spirit nd soul gettin him a job is nothing but how he manages it dats wat matters

Tbillz mehn has a lot of blame from me why cheat? Wen u knew u wudnt b satisfied with ur wife why marry her?
Wen she sacked u why didnt u get a better job to prove to her u a man ? Why beat her?
U knew our type of job before marrying her why arent u supportive? Why do u say she doesnt feed u? Bt d women dat u claim feed u arent much of a busy celeb like ur wife dey myt b bt not as mch as she does work
i tot wen u said i do to her u were ready to understand her better why do u make her go tru emotional stress.



See wat dey both have done to themselves
Marriage can make or break you

That TB whatever was simply a mistake. Gosh, his insecurities & immaturity suck! Celebs are celebs, and will always be lacking mostly a time when needed! Didn't he know the lifestyle of a celebrity which he claimed to made her, before settling for marriage? Does he think that other superstars, e.g, Omotola, don't have marital challenges too?

I wouldn't even dare say anything against Tiwa for this mess. Tb should grow up & get a life!

That land needs cleansing.

Why can't this people stay in Nigeria?
Is it a bad country, if yes, who made it so?
Is this how American Ex Presidents and others visit Nigeria regularly with their families ?

As if you wouldn't do worse if you were in his shoes? Leave GEJ alone, he's taking a deserved break!

"With man it's impossible but with God all things are possible"
That quote says it all.
Man is incapable of keeping Gods law.its only God that can uphold His law.
Don't you ever wonder why Adam can't uphold just one moral law/command given to him by God?.(don't eat this fruit but every other fruits are yours to eat)
Though he's sinless there's nothing Holy in him to uphold that command/law.because all Gods laws are Holy(So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.Romans7:12)

This is where the Holy Spirit comes in, the Spirit which now works in sons of obedience. Remember the word of the Lord, "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the HELPER will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you"- John 16:7.

So you see, the Holy Spirit was send as a helper, to help Christians in their walk with the Lord, which of course is summarised in the Law. The Helper helps us keep that which is described as holy, righteous and good, as you've rightly quoted. So then, again, there's no excuse whatsoever not to keep the Law, as it's been proven that it can be kept perfectly, just as the Lord commanded.

Now you know God's spiritual laws are just as active as the law of gravity. Do well to keep them, for this is the "Whole duty of man"- Ecclesiastes 12:13.

It will amount to intimidation of the Judiciary if these 'imaginary' judges are probed. EFCC should know that this is democracy, not a fascist regime where every judgement must be in their favor.

The struggle is real. It is bound to happen in a country where injustice hold sway. I wish the agitators goodluck.

Get a life man!

He sure has a life, unlike you whose future is unknown. What's wrong with a literary piece like this, worth appreciating for the sake of literature?

Someone certainly need to get a life here, and its you!

Our yams, this month of May is critical for Jonathan.

He has a date with EFCC before the first anniversary of PMB government.

Recent revelations from those who served in various capacities in his government are sufficient to nail him.

He can keep moving from city to city and country to country, the time is now to retrieve all that his government stole from Nigeria.

Those that love him are beneficiaries of his corrupt government. Nonsense

Jonathan sef

You are lying Kelvin. Evil words against The Holy Spirit is punishable by The Holy Spirit. Always remember that St. Peter, if you know who he is, was the first Pope in Rome and St. John was the first Pope in Alexandria. These gave us Sunday as the authorised and approved Sabbath day by Jesus Christ for all Christians. let's leave 7days Adventists for now.

Hello! Did you say Sunday was authorised and approved by the Lord Jesus as a Sabbath day?
