Christianity Etc › Re: What Must I Do To Be Born-again? by tctrills:
cornelboy:
You mixed things up a bit here.

You clearly show distinction between born agains and those that are saved. And you still say those that are saved (not born again) enters the kingdom of God.

John 3:3,5,7
[3]Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
[5]Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.
[7]So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’

It's clear from the above verses that only those that are baptized by the holy spirit are born again. And only them will enter the kingdom of God in heaven.
Only those who are baptized by water and the Holy Ghost would be saved and would enter or see the Kingdom of God. You need to be born again in other to be saved. Those that are not born again would not be saved. That is what Jesus says. So if you want to be saved, you must be born of water and the Holy Ghost.

God that created me and you knows what I'm about to type is 100 percent truth

Before I conclude on commiting suicide
I woke up this morning and decide to bring
My matter to public

I'm a young business man that started well
Like 9 years ago, I've bought cars, I've built house and I've employed people

Last year we took some funds from our investors to partner with us as usual

But all of a sudden we couldn't meet up
Their return this year and even lost a huge
Part of the capital

Since February I've been facing one law enforcement challenge from.1 to another

I've tried severally to explain to my partners but they actually thought I'm.joking


I've placed some of my landed properties for sales but yet customers are not coming

I don't know what else to do..

Even as I'm typing one of the top partners as reported me and my business to Efcc .. the only thing that can solve this is to settle them and return their capital


I need help
I need a true man of God. This becoming an attack on my business

All I have laboured for is going gradually

I don't want to tarnish our family name
I don't want efcc to declare me wanted

This is a debt I didn't steal their money but no one.is believing me


I have proof of our businesses

I have landed properties for sale for immediate cash to settle them once and for all

I need a counselor to guide me.on what to do

I really need help

I really love my child and my wife and my entire people

How would they feal if I'm gone , or if I'm in detention . Please help me
First, you need to calm down. Ask yourself, what is the worst possible situation? You were courageous, you took risks, and you invested but it did not work out. I advise you to go through whatever pain or punishment that would come your way. It's only the beginning of your story. Take any shame that would come your way. You would finanly come out on top. Its not nearly over.

Well what's the role of God then,what use is he
To me, he has mostly played his role. He has given us intelligence and the ability to choose. I do not think he would take away our tribalism and corruption. He would not choose good leaders for us. Remember, when Isreal refused his judges and went for kings, God had no choice but to allow them.

Great !!!!
A Jehovah witness' point of view
Well majority of Christians do not agree with you and by the way do you pray to God to solve your needs. And why does the world need to get worse until Gods kingdom come and not otherwise ?
So Christians believe that things must get worst in every country until Jesus comes back. It's true that the bible teaches that prior to the coming of Christ lots of calamities would occur. But right now, the world is actually getting better and improving. More and more countries are pulling out of poverty, More people are getting educated, and even with the wars we currently have, Global peace is much better than in the 90s.
We can all work to make our country better and look at what others are doing right.
Christianity Etc › Re: How God Can Fix Nigeria by tctrills: 10:23am On May 06, 2022
Hermes119:
Now this is a quick one

Christians and Muslims are always praying to God to fix Nigeria and of course solve their needs and it amazes me that nothing has happened yet,Nigeria simply keeps getting worse while God is supposedly all powerful.
Now I've got a perfect idea of how God can fix over half of Nigeria's problems and at the same time convert maybe all of the nations population and beyond to his preferred religion (Christianity or Islam) and at the same time solve over half of believers needs,now check this out

What God has to do is very simple,inflict anybody that is involved in embezzling of funds(I mean those who are doing it at that point not retrospectively) with a particular gruesome illness that is intractable to any treatment and then speak through a respected prophet informing the whole nation that he is responsible for the situation and why,and if the offender publicly confesses,repents, and returns the stolen funds the illness would disappear.

If this happens of course numerous people would fall victim and if the pattern of the illness is consistent some people would turn to God and be healed and it would become obvious by the day that it's the work of God and more people would turn to God and just like that nearly everyone who was inflicted would turn to God and be healed. Now this would prevent anybody from looting because they know what would happen next,you can imagine what change this would bring to the country,corrupt leaders would give way cos they know they can't steal when they get into office so committed people would take over the positions,at the same time God must have answered half of believers prayers because if leaders are doing their job the people would have less problems,at the same time God would prove his existence to non believers and people of other faiths this would definitely lead to a mass conversion.
So by merely exercising a little power he would change the destiny of this country and maybe the world. With a single act like this,just a very small action you can imagine the change it would bring to our lives and into the world,now imagine if God was doing more of this the entire world would become believers ,people would sit up,the world would become a better place.

But guess what,pray from now till eternity this would never happen,you know why,because the God you pray to doesn't exist. I mean think about it how is it that your God has so much power, infact he overflows with power,his powers are unquantifiable and yet the world is the way it is, what is the point of having so much power and you can't do very little things that would change the world forever.

I know Believers would give excuses but note that my suggestions doesn't affect free will(your favourite excuse), in the bible God did something similar,the Israelites and Pharoah, remember. You know that such won't happen so of course you are just going to keep giving excuses but ask yourself if you had the power won't you effect the solution I just mentioned and would whatever excuse you give for your God detract you from doing so.
A few things here;
God would not do for you what you can do for yourself. Many nations are improving each day not because they pray to God but because they work together as a nation to improve and get better.
If you travel around Africa, you would see small countries doing great things. They did not wait for God to solve all their problems.
Only someone cut out from reality and information would say that things are getting worse in every country. We see many countries even in Africa getting better. Poverty is rapidly decreasing in so many countries. Life expectancy is going up, and more and more people are getting educated. More people have access to healthcare than at any time ever.

You only hear his side of the story. I repeat, no good father wants a criminal for a son. Why wouldn't the father suspect him of yahoo and stealing? He has shown that he can't be trusted.

Family › Re: My Dad Almost Killed Me Today! by tctrills: 12:13am On May 06, 2022
Lucasmuyiwaa:
What happened was that my Dad collected a brand new iPhone I bought from me February last year all because some uncivilized people like him keeps telling him the phone I use is very expensive and said it’s used by yahoo boys and which my Dad hate the word YAHOO.

Though , I felt very sad wondering why he would collect a phone from a 27 years old Son.

I pleaded to him severally to please give me back the phone and I also sent some of his friends which they value each other to him to please help me beg him to return the phone but he keeps telling them he’s not gonna give me and instead get me a small phone that doesn’t browse so as to stop having internet access.

After many Months of using a small Android phone which is very uncomfortable for me and hoping I will gather some money and get a better phone for myself anytime soon.

I waited for some months but couldn’t afford a better phone cuz I don’t want to buy a very low budget phone since I’m addicted to smooth browsing on my IPhone.

Then I tried to find solution for myself by going to find the iPhone he seized in his room even though I don’t enter his room anyhow.

God so good i got into his room when everyone wasn’t aware and I found the phone where he kept it and took it.

I started having conscience on it and asking myself if I’ve messed up.

I came to Nairaland to ask what I should do maybe to return the phone or keep it with me.

I found out some people blamed me for invading his room and getting m my stuff.

Some people told me to return it and never do that again.

when I was going to return the phone I found out that the whole house are back and it’s not possible to go there that time.

I don’t know what to do because it was a luck that nobody was at home that day.

I reasoned to my self maybe I should go and deliver the phone to him myself fearing if he found out the phone is no more there the issue will escalate and will be too late.

The next morning I took the phone to him and told him I find it using a device on the phone with another phone to track it.

He was very annoyed and said what I did was bad with a very cool voice and gave me the phone back himself.

After few hours he called me and said he put some Saudi Money (Riyadh) in the carton he hide my phone and he couldn’t find the money there and asked me if I took it.

I sensed he was trying to tell me that in order to know what I did was bad.

I told him I didn’t take any money there and I honestly didn’t see any money there.

He let me leave and said he will try to find it very well later.

Then just today he called my married elder sister to come to our house and wanted to have a meeting with us cuz we are just two from our late mother.

From his speech he said he can’t be seeing me not working since I’m a graduate and I should find something doing.

He knew I was into exportation of Petrol to Cotonou before the work stopped due to border close down and too much customs officials on the road.

So he started insulting me I’m just being idle and don’t want to work because I’m getting money from yahoo because he returned my phone to me to have internet access.

I accepted all the insults he did to me and didn’t argue with him not until he said if I’m a good boy I won’t go into his room to take my phone and even take his money he kept there the other day.

I then knew he meant that word that I took his money again and which I didn’t even take or see.

Then he began raining insults on me and begin to lay emphasis on the money that I took my phone and his money.

At this point I was very mad and couldn’t hold myself from keeping silence and then I had to break it.

I told him I can take everything he do to me but accusing me wrongfully I will never take that with a mini voice and suddenly wanted to hit me which I run from him to escape.

On running through the steps, he suddenly grab the big stool in the sitting room and dropped it on my head which nearly hit me . (If that stool hit me I don’t know what will happen to me )

But I managed to escape and he started raining curses on me and insulting my late mother for giving him a son like me.

My sister was there too and all she kept saying was I’m very rude to disclaim the accusations and defending myself and she also start insulting me that how dare should I talk when he’s talking.

After few insults he gave me so he came downstairs and started insulting me again while I stand not too far from him.

He quickly picked up a very big stone and a big plank on the floor threw at me which if these two objects meet me I will still be bleeding by now.

He told me with anger that I’m a bastard and cursed me saying it will not better for me and we can never sleep together in the house today and he left and went out.

So my stepmother returned and I narrated everything to her and made her known I’m leaving the house to avoid unnecessary violence again because I’ve been planning to leave the house due to everyday arguments and his nags.

The stepmother told me not to leave the house and rather he will talk to him and calm him down and everything will be fine.

I already made my mind to leave the house and stay at the hotel for some days because my friend which I could go and stay with has traveled last week and said he will be back today.

I got to the hotel and booked the room and having some rests then I saw my stepmother call and she said I should come home and we need to talk.

I sensed maybe she was trying to set me up and I told her I’m at where I’m going to sleep tonight because I just don’t want to come home today.

She said I shouldn’t even think that way and promised me nothing is going to happen.

I believed her because she knows I respected her and I knows she likes me.

Then she told me to come home and sleep and assure me no violence will happen as she just need to talk to me privately which I don’t have idea what else she want to tell me .

Now should I go home or just sleep at the hotel and probably not going to go to that house again soon if I sleep at the hotel today huh?
First thing, You need to realize that you are lost. You depend on Nairaland for family advice. Your father may be wrong, (we don't have his side of the story) but you are clearly wrong. You need to start acting like a man and grow up. Your father is very right in suspecting you of Yahoo. You already confessed to being a smuggler (you smuggle petrol products to Benin). You are obviously living a life of crime and no good father would support that.

OLAADEGBU:
Not so fast. Now read the following verses (1 Thessalonians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 15:51; Acts 1:9; Revelation 11:12; John 12:26; 14:3; 17:24) and let them sink in. cool
I do not think you read any of the above verses before sending them. So I have quoted them below for us all to read. None of the verses you quoted teaches of a Universal rapture for the righteous. Rather, they tell of Christ's second coming.

1 Thessalonians 4:17
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Yes when Christ comes back, the saints would rise and meet him in the air. Note it never says meet him in heaven but rather here on earth. It never said they would fly to heaven. The rapture story is a false addition to the bible's truths.
Acts 1:9
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Did you read these verses before sending them? This tells of Christ's ascension to heaven after his resurrection.

1 Corinthians 15:51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
This verse has nothing to do with the rapture. At the second coming of Christ, the righteous at that time would no longer die rather, they would be transformed.
Revelations11.12
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
This is the prophecy of the 2 prophets that shall be killed on the streets and shall rise to heaven. It has nothing to do with the Christain congregation riseing to heaven na.

[quote author=OLAADEGBU post=112548060]If Jesus prayed to His Father does that make the Father greater than the Son? undecided[/quote
The goal of the Son is to become like the father. Jesus told us to be perfect even as our father in heaven. God wants all his children to be like him. He is not scared when we become like him. He is ready to give us all that he has, all his power and knowledge if we obey him.
Remember, he gave all his power to Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
In summary, the Son is not Greater than the Father, He is made just like the Father.

OLAADEGBU:
"If Jesus is God, then who did He pray to?"

This is a very common question. See the answer at carm.org
He prayed to his Father who is also God. They are not the only Gods in the Universe There are many Gods but to us, we relate only to one God.

The bible called Jesus Christ God in the first chapter of John so that is undebatable. Jesus being God, does that mean his father cannot be God?
Jesus being the Savior, does that mean his Father cannot the Savior? Jesus being Lord, does that mean his father can't be Lord? To understand this better, you are a man, your father is a man and your son is also a man. Just because your father is a man does not mean that you cannot be a man. On the contrary, your father being a man makes you a man. The son of a man is a man and the Son of God is God.

This is one of the best-written posts on Nairaland devoid of criticism and very well researched. I wouldn't be surprised to see mini battles begin here for no reason. The LDS are very quiet on Nairaland. they don't seem to talk very much on this forum. It would have been nice to get a few of them to talk deep about doctrine and religion.

As for our JW brothers, I can bet they are already on the thread.

But this time, it would be nice to hear from LDS for a change.

Prayerfully read these 1 Thessalonians 4;13-16 verses then give us your feedback. cool
13 But pI would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

This very scripture summarizes all I have been telling you. What do we learn here? 1. This is the coming of the Lord. Jesus Christ is the one coming back. 2. The Lord would descend from heaven, not we rapturing to heaven. 3. The righteous would rise from death.
Jesus is coming back to reign upon the earth and the faithful would reign with him.

Do you understand it now?

That is because you read selectively. The Scriptures and the OP is replete with verses talking about saints going to heaven.
You are getting it all wrong. Saints would go to heaven no doubt. But no one would be raptured to heaven. On that great day of judgment, the sheep would be separated from the goats.
The sheep would be given a place in the kingdom and the Goats cast away. No verse says the righteous would go to heaven via a rapture. If you know such a verse please quote it.
