Octopusssy:
LMAO.

Naptu2, did they later meet up for the nacks?

Come to Twitter for updates

Lol...see as them rubbish the girl for Twitter after she follow rubbish another person

AryEmber:
Let me get this right, I only have to do good works and believe in Jesus to enter paradise? How the hell is Christianity not a religion?

Please,where did I ever say that in the post?

Except you misread No 7!
I said Salvation of one's soul is NOT obtained by one's effort and I went on to explain what I meant by the phrase "One's effort", in parentheses "( )"

You can re-read it. There's no contradictory statement there.

oloriLFC:
why didn't you go to work on January 1st since it is not your own new year's day? We just like creating problems for ourselves, no religious tolerance whatsoever. The Christians will cry foul, the Muslims will cry their own. Kilode? Yet we say we serve the living God.

Lol... you dunno what's going on

Ladycoolbreeze:
Become Christians and enjoy the holidays as well

Do you even see the treachery and absurdity in his submission? Not sure you read it sef

Sunnycliff:
What is the relationship between holidays and the killings of Christians in Nigeria especially those in the captivity of Islamic Bokoharam

As in,I tried to relate it and it makes zero sense. I can't believe a right thinking person representing a group could think this way! Just look at how he mischievously obfuscated from the Crux of the matter,which is the "Persecution and Killing of Christians" to advocation of public holidays for muslims.

TheGiftedOne:
Sad! My condolences to the bereaved.

There are just more than 1'0001 ways to die in Nigeria and a million and one reasons to leave the country. Common venom our hospitals no get. Tufiakwa!


Meanwhile snakes are cold blooded animals, so during this harmattan season, they'll be searching for warm places to get some heat.

I use God beg una always check behind all those items close to the wall to avoid wahala. Clear your environment of useless household properties and grasses. no dey chook chook hand inside tight corners.

Lastly always have bitter kola at home. Grind and spread the powder around and chew enough if you feel you've been bitten.

Last line...very important.

Zoe99:
I sure am.

Nice

Zoe99:
I wish you the same.It's been a while.How are you?

Yeah,I'm good. Trust you are as well?

My dearest quora and also YouTube.

Happy New year,dear

zeeprince:
believe me I read, read, and read your comments but I couldn't make sense of it, just answer my question.. who was the way truth and life during Abraham, Isaac, jocob, Solomon, David and others...and if salvation comes from believing that Jesus is God then where the the followers of those prophet end up?

I'll answer you to the best of my ability
To your first question.
"Who was the way truth and life during Abraham,Isaac,Jacob,Solomon,David and others"
Jesus. The best way I can explain this,is using this scripture below: Colossians 15-16
15. And he is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn of all creation
16. For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth
The "he" and "him" in verse 15&16;respectively refers to Jesus the Christ.
**************************************************
In the Old testament,the people of Israel worshipped God and atoned for their sins by offering sacrifices of lambs or bulls through Priests. The animals were to be pure(i.e spotless) in order to be acceptable to God as a sacrifice for the atonement of sin.
The Prophets' roles were almost similar but more specific. They were to act as mediators between God and man. Prophets 'spoke' first-hand to God on behalf of the people and communicated the messages,warnings,promises etc of God to the people.
Now,Jesus Christ;came as a man and [was] PERFECT AND SINLESS. The significance of His mission on earth was that He was a representation of not just a Prophet and A priest, but The Ultimate Sacrifice(Lamb of God) for the Salvation of man from Sin by His Death& Resurrection. Here's the interesting thing:
1)The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ qualifies Him as The Ultimate Mediator btw (God;The Father) and Mankind. So In other words,we don't need Priests or Prophets to be able to communicate with God like in the days of old.(Hebrews 12:24)

2)It is no longer necessary or valid for us(redeemed ppl) to slaughter lambs or sheep as a sacrifice for atonement of sin. All we need do,is believe in Jesus and the redemptive power of His blood on the Cross (Matthew 26:27-28)(Colossians 1:20)(Ephesians 1:7) etc.

3)His Blood doesn't speak Vengeance( Hebrews 12:24)

To your other question:
Their faith and righteousness in their service to God will be counted to them still. However,to those of us alive in this present age and have heard The Gospel of Christ,it is our faith in this Gospel that speaks for us on the Day of Judgement.








Allylic and AryEmber

AryEmber:
Hmm.... That's a lot. I suppose Christianity is the religion from God then?

Can I shock you for a moment!?

1)Religion is man's idea not God's idea.

2)Jesus did NOT come to establish a religion,rather he came to restore man's relationship with God that had been lost(as a result of the Fall of Adam through sin).
(1 Corinthians 15:45-48)

3) Religion appeals to legalism (i.e merely following dos and don'ts). Observing perfunctory acts to be acceptable before a supreme being (God),while this isn't wrong...However Religion has no ability to make man righteous or free from sin(Romans 7:6)... If you will,I can expatiate more on this.

4) Christianity IS NOT A RELIGION as many alude it to be. It is a lot deeper than what we are made to understand(this isn't a gimmick).

5) Christianity is
a personal,experiential relationship with God in Christ Jesus. Religion only seems to bridge the gap between the Divine and Humanity,but this isn't the case,as religion masks man imperfections to be acceptable to a supreme being(God).

6) Salvation: The foundation and essence of Christianity as a Faith-system is hinged on belief in the redemptive power in the Death& Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the bondage of Sin and Death...this is a spiritual truth you can't possibly understand with human logic!

7) Christianity is also the belief that Salvation of one's soul...is a free gift. it is not something you earn,through or by your own effort (i.e doing good works, behavior modification). This very core is what distinguishes Christianity from every other faith.

I can go on and on. I implore you(if you don't mind) to read these powerful and compelling testimonies below.

AryEmber:
I can't view that. If it is something you think might interest me, kindly give me the summary.

An ex-Muslim provides evidence that the Qur'an is NOT a Divine book from God(as claimed) but rather a book borne out of deception from a demon(commonly referred in Arabian folklore as Jinn). The speaker identifies it's name from RELIABLE sources as Al-abyad and we're made to understand it masqueraded itself as "Angel Gabriel" to deceive Muhammad. He proves this from Islamic commentaries of (Ibn Abbas;a companion of Muhammad) and a biography of Prophet Muhammad named the Sealed Nectar.

There you go.

zeeprince:
pls remind me who was the way,truth and life during the time of abraham,isaac,jakob,moses and other prophet b4 jesus? Where will thier followers go paradise or hell ?

Understand that writings of the Judaeo-christian world were recorded as Testaments(We have the Old Testament and the New Testament). These testaments talks about how God established a series of covenants between Himself and Man, transgenerationally; beginning from the Fall of Adam spanning through to the time of Christ and after. Between the book of Genesis down to Revelation,these came to be identified (by theologians) as the 7 dispensations of God's Covenant(I don't want to burden you with lengthy details on this part, but if you want me to explain further I can indulge you).

But my point is,God communed with the Patriarchs of the Bible (Adam,Abraham,Isaac etc) based on a particular dispensation they were in. Thus,standards of righteousness or morality were valid based on adherence to the laid-down requirements of a said covenant.

AryEmber:
I can't stop laughing, this is not about religion yet I must accept Jesus as my saviour. Which religion's anthem is that again? Oh! I remember know, Christianity. What you should have said is that a muslim that does not believe in the existence of Jesus is not a muslim not accept him as this 'mighty saviour'

She's very authentic in displaying her roots. Now I ask,if she were still in Nigeria would she have the recognition she's currently enjoying? Truly a prophet is not appreciated in his home town

You know what....come at me! I'm a devout christian and I will prove to your ignorant ass that homosexuality is not a sin but a subject that has been misunderstood for centuries.

I find his musics cringe-worthy .
I advice he gets a new brain .

Music has no plural.

UceeGod:
But Christians and Christianity have been molested online far more than anything, even before Nairaland began, but nothing has been done about that, yet many souls have come to the Light of God through online evangelism and conversations. Christians don't try to defend their faith by avoiding abuses but we defend our faith in Christ by upholding the TRUTH - that Christ Jesus is Lord!

God bless you. Please watch this video and use the link to evangelize if possible

Let Muslims come to the saving Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. shalom

Strawberryg:
Is nairaland promoting religious superiority and intolerance? Why do we always have to be placed under oath b4 we drop comments on Islamic topics meanwhile Christian related topics can be assed by all other religions. What am I not getting here?

I erroneously clicked on it and voila! it's being pasted on my profile,permanently and against my wish and so many others also. People affected have complained about this,but Seun chooses not to do anything about it.

Now I came across this video on YouTube (you could watch it at your free time,but trust me when you do,it's going to leave you in shock). Paste the link to your profile as a protest,just like I have done.

Btw, Did we hear any sold out call on the unknown movie she invited her Titans to come and watch with her? If the tickets were sold out, we would have been hearing it everywhere by now. The real stars of pepper dem are being invited to fancy premieres of A-list movies, rubbing shoulders with the creme de la-creme of the industry while the so-called most relevant one only gets to go watch a D list movie featuring washed out and unknown actors. There's levels to this shit mehn
