Waoh! An interesting thread for sons and daughters of Mr Francis.

Can people who believe the Bible as the full and complete words of God join in

I have seen demons begging and threatening to deal with the minister on many occasions. I remembered praying with a Brother to God to direct His Angels to bring a Sister we had an appointment with but in the last minute decided not to show up, the first thing she said when she entered the ministration room is 'who brought me here from my room?'.

Never had the SMS scenario but from experience know the world of angels and demons is more real than most realized.

Why are there so many conflicting reports on the passengers list

abbyyworld: It was visa galore for students at the Italian embassy this year. 90% of students that applied for the visa got it including myself. Thanks to the new consular who turned everything this year.

Congrats

Ubenedictus: those aren't doctrines they are practices. Mortification is preached but the method you use is your own personal practice. Mortify ur flesh as is compartible with ur state of life.

You mean giving yourself blue and black beating isn't one of the Catholic way of mortification? Should I cite an example of a Catholic saint??

I happen to know the saga in Ilorin and the intervention of Pastor Emmanuel Oset.

Again, I wish I do not believe Ese Walter's story but I do

They used all kinds of complex machines and skills to create a tiny non -functional piece of brain yet some will conclude in their mind 'there is no God'.

It is time u people leave this girl alone, abi another thing dey inside

abbyyworld: Nice one, you have done well... I have done the same and am waiting for my visa soon but I was invited for an interview. I am hoping on God and I believe it will work out well.

Tell us about the interview

The older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) are estimated to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably was composed at the end of the 1st century BC (wikipedia)

@OP, some parts of the book was written in 300 BC and others as late as 1BC, meaning after Jesus must have been given birth to. Now Enoch lived before Noah which predates Abraham, Moses etc. That will probably 2000 BC. Isreal's Captivity in the time of Daniel was around 700 BC, so how can Enoch be alive to write the book of Enoch in 1BC?

It is wholly extant only in the Ge'ez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. For this and other reasons,(wikipedia)

Part of the book is written in Latin and Greek, even we can't prove Enoch neither spoke Geez and Aramaic, a little sense will tell anybody he never spoke greek nor latin.

Now, let me give you 2 scenarios

1. If we have an adage we use in my mother tongue which has been use for a long time, if 2 separate authors quote the adage in their book, it never mean one copied another, it may mean both are aware of that adage

2. If an author A quoted author B in his writing but author A's book was talking about a more ancient history compared to that of author B, it doesn't mean author B copied A.

Finally, the book of Enoch wasn't accepted among the majority of Isreal, whereas there was consensus about others canonised, the odds are Jude won't quote from such book. Most Biblical scholars believe the scenario 1 is what took place but there was no doubt the author wasn't Enoch.

Book of Enoch is nothing but a fraud.

I have gotten my Visa, multiple
Help me praise the Lord somebodi!

Ciao ciao

Congrats mimi, where in Italy are you heading to?

FOLYKAZE: Whats the meaning of this running around? The author was agreed by christians to be Enoch and his inspiration was from God.... Also do you mean the letter of Jude was not written by Jude?

You showing us everything in christianity is hoax

The bold is not true, the author isn't Enoch. The book of Enoch is a fraud. I clarify this later

No!!, I am voting no Jona-dumbo

FOLYKAZE: Is the author what you want? God inspires his book. Game over

Jude quote it in his letter. So why did Christians ignore this as not inspired? Answer my question

If you know the author, you will know why it wasn't accepted and why do you think it was Jude who quoted him and not the other way around?

@OP, Who wrote the book of enoch?

Today's message was drawn from the book of Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 1vs 4-7
4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

Whatever we need to fulfil our destiny and God's plan for our life is already deposited within us. Most times we emphasis our short comings whereas God is seeing the numerous abilities and gifts He has deposited in us which are quite adequate to subdue all the challenges life brought before us.

There is no person that knows a product better that the designer, God who is our designer knows us better, hence when you do not understand the direction to follow or what else you should do with your life, you have to approach your maker for direction and He is more than willing to show you the way to follow.

The story sounds like an episode of 'Tales by Moonlight'

Things Fall Apart

A breezy evening, sitting outside my balcony and wondering about the goodness of the Lord. What have brought me this far is nothing short the saving grace of the Lord. Storms that threaten to swallow my soul have come and gone but by the mercies of the Lord, I am still standing.

Yahweh Yahweh, where would I be if not for you?
That's why i sing, Yahweh Yahweh, I worship, I worship. There is nothing , there is no one like you awimayeun!!!. There is nothing, there is no one like you!!!.

Bidam: With tears of compassion flowing down her face,she asks God the question that will remain unanswered throughout her life:"Why weren't they all healed?"

H'yall folks,just thought to drop a line from a very interesting book on the biography of God's miracle worker-Kathryn Kuhlman.

That is one highly anointed woman.

I don't know about bleaching chemicals but I will rather die than take a bottle of lacasera.

I was in a BRT this fateful day and decided to ease up with a bottle of lacasera, about 40 minutes after gulping the liquid, my whole internal system turned upside down, I began sweating like Christmas goat, my stomach was making some thunderous sounds like terry G music. This matter wey I dey talk like joke no be joke o. It took me all the control of adulthood not to mess up myself that day, I went straight into the toilet on getting to my abode and for 4 days wasn't myself, I actually thought I was going to die.

Friends at work also confirmed having a similar experience with lacasera.

So for me, e contain bleaching agent or not oo. Lacasera babu!

Ubenedictus: what do catholics understand by the passage 'there is one mediator between God and man'?
I wish that the passage be discussed before d end of this thread.

1 Timothy 2:5-6
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time

The verse is self explanatory, the only mediator we have is Jesus. Mary and other saints also needed that mediator for them to get saved, we do not need praying to or through Mary, dead saints, dead bones nor beating ourselves like goats etc. We only have to go through Jesus Christ our Mediator in faith.
