Christianity EtcRe: Did God Create Some People To Never Lack? by Steep(m): 6:25am On May 15
SmartPolician:
In life, nothing equates to money You make more impact when you are rich. In fact, a wealthy unbeliever is more useful to God than a broke born again.

If you read the Old Testament well, you will see instances where God promised to bless people with material things. With riches, a wealthy man can convert 10,000 souls for God in a week, but a poor believer will hardly win ONE soul for God.
what kind of demonic teaching is this?
I pray you repent and know God truly.

Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Writes UNICEF, Says Iran Targeting Children With Cluster Munitions by Steep(m): 10:34pm On Mar 25
Jesus second coming is at hand.
According to prophecy Israel will go through the tribulation in the tribulation they will return to their God. The hatred for the Jews is already gathering momentum. Technology and expertise cannot save Israel, no nation can save Israel, no political power can save her. Israel is still under the curse of the law and only by repenting and accepting Jesus the messiah can she be saved.

America days are numbered, there will be no help for Israel from anywhere then suddenly a world leader will rise to give peace to Israel and the Middle East, this man is called the antichrist Aka the beast, Israel will initially be deceive to think the beast is their messiah but the beast will break the covenant and Israel will go through the great tribulation.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do We Celebrate The Rich More Than The Poor In Some Churches? by Steep(m): 10:34pm On Feb 23
ogascomax:
First that scripture is different from what this question is for. Nobody is telling you to treat the poor with disdain because that is what James is addressing. Everybody most be treated with love in the house of God. But it's now different when they want to recognise people's effort to see that church services and activities are going on smoothly and some other persons are making that happen. Yes you most recognise them because they are people that have money in that same church and will not support the work of God there.

Ecclesiastes 9:15-16 (KJV) Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
You are turning scriptures upside down, no thanks to the bad theology of many of these corrupt churches.
Ecclesiastes 9:15 is only describing what goes on in this world, it wasn't endorsing it.
James is saying treat the poor and the rich equally without prefertial treatment.
When it comes to special recognition, it is meant for those who labored more not base of their resources.

Jesus specially recognized a widow even though she gave the least.

Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Kingdom reward is not base on how much you have but what you give relative to what you have.

You also wrongly interpreted

Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

The parable is not about how rich materially you are but how you make use of what God give to you to be profitable to his kingdom and if you don't use what God gave you it will be taken from you.
Rewards in heaven is about the level of one's work relative to what he has. A poor person may labour more than a rich person and he will be honored more than the rich person. It is not about who is poor or who is rich but about making use of what you are given.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do We Celebrate The Rich More Than The Poor In Some Churches? by Steep(m): 10:39am On Feb 23
If a church is not different from the society then that church is an unholy church.
Holiness means to be separated to God.
Any church that values the rich more than the poor should be marked and rejected, and any teacher, or pastor that encourages this false teaching should be identified and rejected.
Christianity EtcRe: After Genuine Salvation Does Restitution Have Any Relevance In Eternity? by Steep(m): 8:29am On Feb 15
cutecommend:
When a sinner accepts Jesus and genuinely repents from all sins, old things are passed away and all things are become new.

But lets look at these questions.
(1) If a man has stolen vehicles and now rides them, should he continue riding the vehicles after he gets born again or should he return them?

(2) If a man secretly takes his neighbour's children and kills them for rituals, and his neighbour keeps looking for these kids: now if the man gets born again, should he watch his neighbour look for the kids or should he confess the act?

(3) If a married woman has four children and she fully knows two of the kids are not for her husband, and her husband is boasting of the kids and spending millions on them. Now, if she gets born again, should she watch her husband "progress" in deception, continue boasting and spending millions?

When someone get's born again, their names are written in the Book of Life, but as time goes, if they have things they need to return, confess, restitute, the Holy Spirit begins to remind them of these things for them to restitute it. If they fail to do it, it becomes disobedience and their names will be removed from the Book of Life.

Restitution not done can hinder a Christian from entering heaven, and if you think you can take a secret worthy of confession to the grave, you may find yourself in hell fire after death.

The HolySpirit can help you to have a successful restitution without punishment.
Are you saved by grace or by works?
Doing restitution or any work at all in order to earn heaven will eventually earn you hell.

You do restitution so you can live peacefully with men and not to make heaven.
Whether you do restitution or not if you are saved you will go to heaven however you don't want to live with constant guilt with a secret or with someone else properties and also you will want your witness for Jesus to be demonstrated by your life.
So Doing restitution is about our relationship with fellow human beings.

So a woman living comfortably knowing that her kids is not her husband only shows that she does not have eternal life in her.
Same way as anybody living in sin comfortably without turning to God shows they are not bornagain or have eternal life in them.

1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Heaven is your good, lovely days.

He'll is your hard, unpleasant days.

At the end of our lives, we'll leave this mortal plane to exist in another where space and time doesn't exist, until we reincarnate again to continue the cycle of existence, purpose and fulfillment.
This is myth. Heaven is not your good, lovely days neither is hell your unpleasant days also there is nothing like reincarnation.
CultureRe: 5 Childhood Myths In Nigeria by Steep(m): 5:12pm On Feb 07
Rapmoney:
1. Guava seeds cause appendicitis: The idea that guava seeds cause appendicitis is false. Appendicitis is primarily caused by infection or fecal obstruction of the appendix, and not directly from swallowing seeds. However, it is good to chew seeds properly, especially for fruits like guava, or pomegranates. Undigested seeds of some fruits may cause a blockage in the appendix, but cases are very rare. I had friends in primary school who never ate guava for the fear of appendicitis.

2. Large snakes keep diamonds: This is another myth we believed when growing up. Snakes, whether large or small do not keep diamonds. There is no relationship between flesh, bone and blood and diamonds which are minerals. Funny enough, some adults still believe this crap till date. If you believe that diamonds are found in snakes, you should also believe that crude oil is found in monkeys.

3. Heaven is in the skies and hell is underground: I do not want this post to be a religious debate so I will not delve into the existence of heaven and hell, but the mindset that heaven is located in the skies, while hell lies under our feet is as foolish as foolishness. These are abstract things that are not concrete. They are only in your mind subconsciously.

4. Witches and wizards fart on transformers to cause power outage: Whenever transformers exploded, they blamed old men and women in the area of suspected witchcraft. This was common in Old Bendel State (now Edo and Delta States). The truth is that majority of those transformers were old and fit to be discarded, but due to poor governance, corruption and lack of accountability, they were still put to use, and they were serving beyond their capacity. Area believe say nah winch mess for transformer, so transformer blow!

5. Taking Coke and mango is harmful: This is another myth and a stupid idea we believed as kids. There is no scientific fact to that, and nobody has been found to be harmed after taking Coke and mango. There is no scientific evidence that supports the claim. It is just a myth.
Who told you heaven and hell are in the mind? Heaven and hell are real but are non physical dimensions.

Foreign AffairsRe: European Troops Arrive In Greenland by Steep(m):
It is all going according to plan, European union, Israel, republican party, demoncrat party etc they all are controlled by the globalists.
Trump is doing what he is told to do, part of the reason is to foster more unity in European union. If European union see that they cannot rely on America it will give them more reason to be united. Both Putin and China are also in this game. European is most probably is going to the the seat of the one world government so they need unity in Europe.

Trump is working according to plan, his actions are deliberate so that Americans will be pushed to democrat, meanwhile a female president will be pushed out so people can be celebrating the usual first woman president propaganda. Meanwhile, she would bring untold destruction on America from inside, America would either become totally irrelevant in the future or will be totally destroyed.

The fall of America would shift power to Europe, people think China, no it is Europe, once America is gone, Israel would be exposed and would be in severe trouble.

Christianity EtcRe: Why You Shouldn't Wait For The New Year To Make A Resolution For Christ by Steep(m): 3:52pm On Dec 28, 2025
Faith in Christ Jesus and his finished works for you is all you need not any resolution. The jews made resolution before Joshua to serve the Lord how did that end? They ended up worse off. God knows us humans more than we know ourselves that is why he gave us Jesus so that in believing in him we might have eternal life.
Salvation does not depend on your works or resolutions but faith on Jesus finished works for sin and in his person.
Christianity EtcRe: Can You Be Saved By Obeying God Laws Or By Believing In Jesus by Steep(m): 10:52am On Dec 25, 2025
Dtruthspeaker:
As I asked Kings, can you
point out the sins God held against these people?
That is because they were justified by their faith. The bible did not record all of their lives only shows that aspects that demonstrate their faith and some of their errors.
Noah for example although he was a man of faith but he got drunk and cursed one of his sons.

David had flaws, he committed adultery and also a murder, Sarah lied when she was asked if she laughed she denied, Moses got angry and couldn't fulfill the instruction of God exactly as God commanded, all these shows that no Saint were without errors, only Jesus christ is sinless.

Romans said all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Dtruthspeaker:
This is not true, even John confirmed that The Law is not hard to keep

Key Biblical Context & Meaning
1 John 5:3 (KJV): "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous".

Not Burdensome: "Grievous" means heavy, oppressive, or hard to bear. The verse suggests that for a believer, following God's instructions isn't a crushing load but a joyful expression of love for Him,
non of those people were sinless only Jesus christ is sinless.

Now is the time for salvation, accept the gift of eternal which is only found in Jesus Christ.
Christianity EtcRe: Can You Be Saved By Obeying God Laws Or By Believing In Jesus by Steep(m):
Kingsnairaland:
-
You can not obey God laws you don't even have what it takes to accomplish this task only one man did it and still surrendered his life because of it

Let break it down

why would Jesus tell the rich young ruler he had to sell everything to attain eternal life many people teach this to lead you to believe that you gotta surrender your entire life to attain salvation

but Jesus didn't tell the rich young ruler how to be saved he showed him why he couldn't save himself Jesus gave him an impossible command on purpose Jesus was showing him and everyone that was watching that salvation cannot be earned by good works.

the young ruler asked the wrong question he said what must I do to inherit eternal life so Jesus answered him according to the logic of his own question Jesus took him down the path of works to show him where that would ends he said keep the commandments so the rich young ruler said I've done this since my youth

so Jesus said okay then sell everything and that final command wasn't a set of salvation it was the final blow to his works based mindset it exposed the one thing he could never do the thing his heart trusted more than God and Jesus did that intentionally because Jesus always raises the law to an impossible level when someone thinks salvation comes through their good behavior

just like the other examples in scripture when Jesus said cut off your hand if it causes you to sin be perfect as your father's perfect forgive others or your father won't forgive you

But notice those things jesus list are actually not new covenant salvation requirements those are the hammer of impossibility for anyone still trying to earn eternal life by good performance

the rich young ruler is one of Jesus's clearest demonstrations that if salvation depends on what you do the standard becomes so high that no one can survive it

and right after the man walks away Jesus proves the point he says with man this is impossible (.... which means using man's holiness to get salvation it actually impossible......)

but with God all things are possible (which means putting your faith in jesus then holiness of God is possible)

that's Matthew nineteen twenty-six that line is just Jesus's summary of the entire encounter what's impossible is earning eternal life through human efforts.....

. what is possible is actually seeing it as a gift of God..

Then that is how you get saved forever.....

Glory
you are correct Jesus presented the law in its pure form which is impossible for any sinner to keep.
The law exposes man's fallen state.
HealthRe: Man Writes His Own Tribute Before Passing Away (Photo) by Steep(m): 10:10am On Dec 24, 2025
So touching. According to UN the average life span of a Nigerian is between 54-55 years.
Life is brief and anything can happen at any time.

The Holy Bible says it's appointed man once to die and after this the judgment. Heb 9:27.

And also now is the time, now is the day of salvation. 2cor 6:2

The most important thing achievement is salvation which is found only in Jesus christ.

If you will believe in the the Lord Jesus christ as your Lord and saviour you will be saved.

Every achievement and accomplishment end on this earth after death the only thing that determines your eternity is if you have salvation or not. If you have salvation you will be with God if not you will go to hell.
Salvation is only in Jesus christ apart from is condemnation.

How did Mohammad know it was angel jibril that appeared to him and not a Demon? Infact there is evidence that it was a Demon that appeared to Mohamad.

To your question yes a Demon can show light but Paul was justified for calling Jesus Lord because Jesus introduced himself and Paul's meeting with Jesus was also confirmed.
Paul saw a bright light and heard a voice calling him Saul, Saul. Jesus voice is one of authority hence paul called him Lord without knowing that he is Jesus.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Salvation An Inner Awakening Or A Religious Transaction? by Steep(m): 9:44pm On Dec 13, 2025
Theawakensoul:
@Steep,

What you just did is a category error, and it’s important to point it out clearly.

You assumed that inner awakening = self-worship, and then jumped straight to calling it Satanism.
That conclusion does not logically follow from what was written.

Let’s correct this carefully.

1️⃣ Awakening is NOT “I am God”

At no point did I say:
“I am God”
“I replace God”
“I worship myself”

That is a strawman argument, attacking a position that was never stated.

Awakening is not self-deification.
Awakening is self-awareness.

There is a difference between:
❌ Ego saying “I am God”
✔️ Consciousness realizing “I am not separate from Source”

Even Jesus expressed this clearly:
“I and the Father are one”
“The Kingdom of God is within you”

He did not say:
“I am the only one with access while you remain eternally separate.”


2️⃣ Calling awareness “Satanism” reveals fear, not understanding
Satanism, historically and philosophically, is about ego exaltation, rebellion, and domination.

What was described in my post is the opposite:
• dissolving ego
• releasing fear and guilt
• ending dependence on external control
• aligning inwardly with truth, love, and clarity

If inner transformation, compassion, and freedom from fear are now labeled “satanic,” then the word has lost all meaning and is being used only as a fear trigger.


3️⃣ “Slave to sin” is the language of control
Notice the framework you’re using:
• You are fallen
• You are powerless
• You are deceived
• You must submit
• Time is running out
• Obey or perish

That is not salvation, that is psychological dependency.

Awakening does not deny responsibility or ethics.
It removes fear-based obedience and replaces it with conscious choice.

A person acting from awareness does not need threats of hell to live rightly.


4️⃣ Death and salvation are not bargaining chips

Saying:
“Only Jesus has power over death” does not contradict inner awakening.

Awakening is not about defeating biological death.
It is about ending the inner death caused by fear, guilt, and separation, the very condition Jesus addressed when he spoke of rebirth and new life now, not only after the grave.


5️⃣ Final clarification
Religion teaches:
“You are broken → obey → maybe be saved later”

Awareness reveals:
“You were never truly separated → remember → live transformed now”

Calling that Satanism does not refute it.
It only shows how deeply fear-based conditioning reacts when spiritual authority is no longer externalized.

I respect your right to believe what you choose.
But mislabeling awareness as evil does not make it so.

Peace and clarity.
TheAwakenSoul
When you steal, lie, fornicate etc it means you are under the grip of sin and hence a slave of sin. Your awakening is actually a delusion, a false knowledge.
For your awakening to say you are not separate from the source (God) shows you are calling yourself God.
Your rejection of the truth shows you belong to the devil.


John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Your Awakening is coming from Satan the first rebel. You are a Satanist even though you deny it.
You rebel against God's word and equate yourself with him.

Jesus was not a man who became God, Jesus is God himself who took upon himself human body. Jesus proved his divinity by living a sinless life and overcoming death by his resurrection and by his exaltation by the Father that at the name of Jesus all creation should bow.
You are just a wretched sinful human like every other human being.
