wenogodie2:
So if you believe in the finished work of Jesus for the cleansing of your sins but you still commit fornication and other sins will you make heaven?

yes if he continues in the truth of Jesus christ.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

But again, he saved Christian does not go on to continue live in sin, this is because he is born of God.

So your answer is not because he sinned but if he does or not continue in christ.

Faith is enough because even the life lived in christ is by faith of Jesus christ.

If demons believe does that mean faith is not enough?
First, what do demons believe

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Demons believe there is one God. Believing there is one God is not a saving faith.

What then is the saving faith?
The saving faith is trust in Jesus christ, and his finished work on the cross.
The blood of Jesus shed on the cross is for the remission of sins. We true faith in Jesus we recieve a new life, and this new life lead to good works in christ.

The saving faith produces works but the dead produces no work.

Justification is by faith but however works justifies a man's faith if it's dead or a living faith.

Just as there were False prophets in old times so there are False teachers all around.

False teachers are mostly independent, they are not under any ministry or authority, they may also have rebelled against the ministry they were worshipping.

False teachers want to teach meanwhile they are unteachable, they are driven by pride, rebellion, self assertiveness, greed for material possession, sexual immorality etc.

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

RIGHT

From the bible we see that all God does is in accordance to his nature.
For us to understand sometimes what God does is to know his attributes. For example God is long suffering meaning he gives sinners enough time to repent, God is faithful meaning we can trust in him.

There are many other qualities of God people ignore in asking their question. The question one should ask if " what type of Godis yahweh?" Meaning what is the character of God like.

The bible tells us God is truth meaning there is simply no lie in him at all. God is love, God is just and if God is just he should punish crimes (sins), God is Holy.

Most times when people think of God, think of God in just three attribute only and that is, God is omniscience, omnipotent and omnipresent they throw away all other attribute of God and begin conjure up hypothetical scenarios and how God should react if he is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscience leading them into a dangerous error.

Now even if God can do everything, it does not mean he would do everything. How about that!
Although God is omniscience, omnipresent and omnipotent, he has other attributes all of God's attribute are equa.
God act in line with his attributes or nature, his nature like righteousness, holiness, order, truth, love, justice, faithfulness, long-suffering.

If God does not destroy evil on time it is because he is long suffering, he gives enough room for sinners to repent but ultimately evil will be rooted out.

Back to the question, why did God create us with the ability to sin?
The ability to sin is part of what makes free will true.
If we only has the ability to please God then that is no longer free will.
Without free will, truth can not be verified and justified.

God created us to experience him in truth and that means we must have a free will.
God created light and darkness so we could truly appreciate the Beauty of life and the value of it.

The ability to sin , is the ability to depart from God. This ability is important so our worship from God will be truth and not because we formed to be one way only.

Another question is, why did God not stop man from committing sin if he knows before time?

That is like asking God to sabotage his own order. God will however
Give enough warning and information about the consequence of that actions to deter that person but however he does not force his will by stopping that person from doing what he want to do.

It will be unjust for for God to prevent humans from committing sin they want by forcing his will. Remember one of God's attribute is righteousness God cannot do unrighteousness.

God knows all things that is why he gives enough warning.

God knows all things that is why he planned man's salvation before time.

So God gave us free will so we can truly love him, and experience his glory at the same time we could rebel and turn against him, infact which we all already did but however this opened up us to another aspect of God's character which is love, so instead of God righteously execute his justice on us he inteadd shows us love through Jesus christ his son while Jesus bear our justice on himself. Through faith in Jesus we could recieve this, this faith is simple, it means acknowledging and receiving Jesus as your Lord and saviour.

Op by the way, if you are in christ you are not under any curse.

Coolis:
Thanks a lot for your words of encouragement. In my own little way, I have a good relationship with OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Enquiring from the Holy Spirit before making some decisions is my major area of weakness. I don't live a sinful life. I'm still a baby when it comes to hearing from the Holy Spirit, that has been my major challenge and that has caused me huge losses. I NEED THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Do you tithe? If not please do, and also as a Christian alot forces against you you have to take charge of the spiritual atmosphere of your life through constant and consistent prayers.

Igbodicool:
Nigeria is the world headquarters of TRIBALISM.

Hatred against Igbo is the only thing uniting the Lugard British Empire.

It is very bad. I love igbo people very much very innovative.

Coolis:
I AM A MAN, ABOUT 42YRS. I DO NOT HAVE A FAMILY OF MY OWN. I DO NOT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND MUCHLESS HAVING MARRIAGE IN VIEW SOONER.

I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING I HAVE SAVED IN THE LAST TEN YEARS TO ONE ONLINE BUSINESS OR THE OTHER.

THE FOREX MARKET TOP IT ALL. I LOST MORE IN TRADIND THE FOREX MARKET THAN IN ANY OTHER. AM I A NORMAL MAN?

IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME SOMEWHERE?

IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME IN THIS LIFE AGAIN?

PRESENTLY, I HAVE NO MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD. I AM JOBLESS. I CAN NOT FIND JOB.
I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR WORDS OF ADVICE. Thanks

first of all, anybody that has not recieve christ is already under a curse, but if you have recieve Jesus christ, it doesn't also mean the problems of life will automatically go away but we receive the power and through the teachings of the bible come out of these enslavement.
What you should do?
1. If you have not believe in Jesus christ is your saviour do so because that is the only way to be free from sin and its consequences.

2. If you are a Christian and you have sinned ask God for forgiveness and if you have wronged any body make an amend.

3. Go on fasting and prayer to seek the face of God.

4. Look for something to do no matter how laborious it may be.

5. Inculcate a lifestyle of giving especially to the church and your pastor very important if your church tithe please start paying tithe no matter how little.

There were people who made it even at 60 years, so it is not late, at all.

What makes you better than another person?

1.All humans came from, one descent, Adam. The theory of common descent has being proven to be true. Acts 17 vv26

2. Every one has sinned and fall shot of God's glory. Romans 3 vv23

3. God has appointed Jesus to Judge all humans.
Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

4. All shall shall be Judged. Romans 14 vv10

5 God love everyone John 3vv16

6. Jesus died for all. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

7. God is no respected of persons.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Nobody is better than anybody.

The devil is the prince of this world including the present day zionist Israel.
Israel till date are still in rebellion against God, the leadership of Israel are zionist.
Zionism is the belief that Israelies are more superior to other people. This belief is satanic, it is not of God at all.
The truth is Israel is just as satanic and polluted as other nations of the world, all manner of abomination are found in Israel.

Galatians 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

False teachers shall bring damnable heresies into the church to the extent of denying the Lord who bought them.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Jesus is coming soon.

1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

The leaven of the pharisees is their teachings.

Jesus rebuke the pharisees so much because they were pretenders

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.


False teachers/prophets are always attractive, they are always people-pleasing, they do everything to present themselves as harmless, fun to be with, catchy, they can entice unsuspecting victims with money, gifts etc all to make people come to them not out of genuine concern for their needs but to draw them close and so that they can give them listening ears.
By their fruits you know them, they appear all smiling but their mission is to draw people down to hell with themselves.
False teachers do not release all their poison at once they release it gradually, most times mixing it with the truth so victims do not realise on time.

One character of a false teacher is that they are not under authority of the apostles, they are independent, they may claim to be from Jesus directly, their teachings are not inline with the apostlic teachings.

They always bring some form of new light or inspirations or new knowledge.

Some establish a sect, some even review the whole Bible edit and add extra to it or remove from it.

Their teachings may claim to expand, add research assumptions etc into the bible to balance things.

Their fruit is heresy, they cause apostasy, bring reproach to the name of christ and encourage sin and lawlessness.

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Beware of the leaven of pharisees.

The word of God is sure and last forever.

Yeap. This world is a cesspool of lies. The bible is the word of God which endure forever.

It is all a smokescreen.

A world government is coming soon but however it will come after the rapture of the church, this world government is already taking shape gradually.



The speech of world leaders have noticeably emphasized on unity among humans to defend democracy.

This war is an ideological war it is a war between democracy and authoritarianism actually it is a very big deception.

The new world order is about rebuilding the tower of babel.

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

The head of this United world is going to be the antichrist.
The United world is going to be built through lies and deceit.
The whole world is under a great satanic manipulation, by the dragon lucifer.



The bible tells us that the coming of the antichrist is going to be with all manner of deception and lies inspired by the devil.

Narratives are pushed to control human mind to need a world government.

Any narrative that will further the movement is welcomed.


Everything playing today is working towards a world government under the propaganda of democratic peace and safety .

They are playing games, trying to start a global war.

The word messianic is gotten from the word Messiah, which means God's anointed or chosen one. The Messiah is to fulfill various role which are saviour, prophet, angel of the Covenant, sacrifice, teacher, priest and king.

The messianic psalms are psalms that speak about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus christ, these psalms include
1: Psalm 2
2: Psalm 40
3: Psalm 91
4: Psalm 41
5: Psalm 22
6: Psalm 69
7: Psalm 16
8: Psalm 68
9: Psalm 45
10: Psalm 24
11: Psalm 110
12: Psalm 8
13: Psalm 72
14: Psalm 89
15: Psalm 102
16: Psalm 118

Especially during this period leading to Easter, it is imperative to study these psalms so we can share the wonderful work of Jesus with others.

Comfort for Christians in a Changing World
by Roy Reynolds (N. Ireland)

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day" Proverbs 4.18


When we trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we embarked on a path which, although strewn with difficulties in abundance and littered with problems and pressures of every kind, leads inexorably to the brightness and bliss of that distant land we have come to recognise as home. It soon becomes clear that Christians are not immune to the many trials that beset His people, and tears fall frequently from the eyes of the saints of God. It may even appear that, at times, God seems to have hidden His face from us and turned His ear away from our anguished cries.

Those trials, so hard to bear, are intended to remind us that this is not our home; that we are aliens in a hostile world; pilgrims on the march to the "better land, long since by faith possessed". Look up and look on beyond the rock-strewn pathway ahead and catch the gleams of glory streaming from that "land that is fairer than day" (Sanford F. Bennett), where awaiting our arrival is the matchless Lover of our souls.

We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious song of the blest,
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
"He knoweth the way that I take …" Job 23.10

At the beginning of this year many find themselves in strange places, in circumstances they never expected to be in, suffering from illnesses they dreaded ever contracting. Life takes many strange twists and turns and sometimes events overtake us that we never envisaged or wanted. The pathway of life throws up many surprises and not a few shocks but "He knoweth the way that I take". Our Saviour is never fazed by the unplanned and unexpected and all our tomorrows lie open to His view. No unforeseen events can derail His programme or upset His plans.

How blessed then at the start of another year to place our future in His safe hands and in childlike faith depend upon Him to guide us through the shadowy paths and tangled thickets! What we cannot see, He sees clearly; what we cannot know is understood fully by Him. His eyes are never dim, His mind is never dull and what seems dark to us is as brightest daylight to our Saviour. May we entrust then whatever we are permitted to experience of this year to His tender care and loving guidance, aware that He knows best, cares most and will never cause a needless tear.

All the way my Saviour leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?

anu3:
No friend, it's the Holy Spirit speaking through Paul, not the words of Paul. It's not wise to disagree with God.

You know why there was no single Woman among The Twelve Disciples of Jesus (new testament)?

Or would you disagree with Jesus too.

You mentioned people of the old testament, yes, God used some women perhaps because there were no good men available (as in the story of Barak).

Yes, even today God may use some women, but that must be sadly because men are not available when they're are supposed to.

Hence, God will have to ignore us men and use useful women: quite unfortunately, it's not God's first choice.

That said, the trouble is how church founders
and members outrightly disregard this teaching.

See thoae verses very well, see how Paul connected it with Adam and Eve. There you know that women leadership wasn't originally God's plan.

God bless.

You are absolutely right.

Only in Jesus the saviour can one have everlasting life.

anu3:
1Tim.2.12 - I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
1Tim.2.13 - For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
1Tim.2.14 - And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.


1Cor.14.33 - For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
1Cor.14.34 - As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.
1Cor.14.35 - If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

May Jesus bless you

Yeap I agree with that a woman is not to teach nor usurp authority over a man in the church.

The sin of that false prophetess was that she was leading people astray into sexual immorality both physically and spiritualy.

Holiness is not easy by human strength but do you know that if you have believed in Jesus you are already holy, all you need to live holy is to learn of your spiritual nature in christ, when you focus on your flesh which will perish you begin to drawn (walk in the flesh).

Paul said if you live in the spirit walk in the spirit.

Your focus should be to walk in the spirit and to do this your mind has to be spiritually inclined minded.
