Marriage isn't all and all.

then why are ladies praying and fasting for a marriage partner?

dein77:
Very true. But the shocking aspect is that people are not willing to dig deep into the Scriptures and discover these truths.

those practicing tithing at this time needs to check the scriptures.

Goshen360:


I'm sure you reading English, not Spanish.

Is he saying you're righteous BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTEOUS THINGS YOU DO or he's saying you do RIGHTEOUS THINGS BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHTEOUS?

Grab another translation and read before you reply o.

we need to clarify some things about righteousness.

The Greek word that we translate as righteous is
dike (pronounced, dee-kay ). And while the ancient
Greek meaning was tendency , the use of this word
in the Bible implies justice and conformance to
established standards . Justice means doing the
right thing, and conformance to established
standards (in the Bible) refers to following the
ways of God . So the word righteous can also be
translated as just , since righteousness is so closely
tied to justice.

Here are a few conclusions about what the Bible
says is righteousness, and the scriptures from
which these conclusions have been drawn:

What the Scriptures Say

If you really want to be righteous, you
can be – Matthew 5:6:
'Those hungering and thirsting for
righteousness are blest,
For, they will find satisfaction.'

If you flaunt your righteousness, you
won't be rewarded by God for the good
things you do – Matthew 6:1:
'Be careful that you do not practice,
Your righteousness before other men,
So that they will see what you're doing
Or you will receive no reward,
From your Father in heaven.'

Righteousness involves living for God's
Kingdom – Matthew 6:33: 'Put the
Kingdom and righteousness first, and then
all these other things will be given to you.'

The things you do prove whether you
are righteous – Matthew 11:19: 'Wisdom
is proven righteous by her deeds.'

The things that you say prove whether
you are righteous – Romans 3:4: 'As it's
written: So that you might be proven
righteous by your words and you can come
off victorious when you're being judged. '

Someone who deliberately misleads
others can never be found righteous –
Matthew 12:36:
'And I tell you that on the Judgment Day,
They'll have to answer for all of the things,
Which they've said to lead others astray.

Immoral, unclean, and greedy people
will not be found righteous – Ephesians
5:5: '[For it's easy] to recognize those who
are immoral, unclean, and greedy (which
really amounts to being idol worshipers),
and you know that they won't receive an
inheritance in the Kingdom the Anointed
One and of The God.'

To be counted righteous, you must treat
other righteous people very well –
Matthew 25:37-40: 'Then the righteous will
ask: Lord, when did we see you hungry and
feed you, or thirsty and give you something
to drink? When did we see you a stranger
and take you in, or naked and clothe you?
When did we see you sick or in prison, and
come to your [aid]? And the king will say: I
tell you the truth; When you did it for the
least of my brothers, you also did it for me. '

Righteous people are at peace with
others – James 3:18: 'The seeds of the fruit
of righteousness are planted in peace by
the peacemakers!'

You have to be an honest judge to be
found righteous – John 7:24: 'Quit judging
from the way things look on the surface
judge righteously!'

Righteousness involves standing up for
right things, even if that invites
persecution – Acts 4:19, 20: 'If it's
righteous in God's eyes to listen to you
instead of to God, judge for yourselves. But
we can't stop talking about the things
we've seen and heard.'

A righteous person has faith in God and
His promises – Romans 3:28: 'We believe
that a man is called righteous because of
his faith, not by the works of the Law!.'

True righteousness requires more than
just faith – James 2:24: 'A man is
pronounced righteous by the things that he
does, not by his faith alone.'
To be counted as righteous, you can't be
immoral or continue in a sinful course –
Romans 6:12-14: 'Therefore, don't allow
sin to rule your mortal bodies anymore
and don't obey its desires no, don't offer
your body parts as unrighteous weapons of
sin! Rather, offer yourselves to The God as
people who've been made alive from
among those [who are] dead; and [offer]
your body parts to The God as weapons of
righteousness! So, sin must not be your
master, because you aren't under the Law;
rather, you're under [God's] loving care.'
Most people in the world aren't

considered righteous – 1 Corinthians 6:1:
'Would any of you who think you have
been [wronged] by another dare to take it
to court [to be tried by] unrighteous men,
rather than by the Holy Ones?

Although faith is required to prove
ourselves righteous, speaking about
what we believe is what saves us –
Romans 10:10: 'For, it's this belief in your
hearts that makes you righteous; and it's
your mouths (when they confesses this)
that are saving you.'

Dux01:
people who think that pastors that support paying tithe do that to take people's money need to really pray.it is no longer bible anymore.you don't believe you are the one being talked to in mal 3 vs 10.Go and really pray.

there are many laws in the old testament but many pastors only retained the ones that involves money such as tithe, firstfruits and the likes.

dein77:
U don't need me to state instances....

One should suffice. Remember when the Pharisees aaccused Him of suffering his disciples to pluck corn on the Sabbath? What was His reply?

i dnt know. tell me the reply

farano:
Yes we're hard to woo @op...so what next?

to go and pitch my tent somewhere else.

MzPreshie:
Hey!! Easy man. You sound like I bruised something.

MzPreshie:
Lol.. You dey fear ni? Go for what you want, you never will be sure till you try.

Goshen360:

olexjay:

#FaceUrFear

dein77:
Sabbath day wey even Jesus disregard?

when did Jesus disregard the sabbath? remember, the law was still in place before the death of Jesus.

Goshen360:
He that DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS? Really? Are you sure what you saying? If yes, provide scriptures please. I hope you're not referring to RIGHTEOUSNESS UNDER THE LAW?

do u think i formulated it from my head? Is in the bible. I hope u know where it is?

someone told me that babes in Nairaland are hard nut to crack when it comes to wooing them. He said that most of them are also very insultive that i should not bother about them. He said that most of them are too full of themselves, thinking that they are indispensable. he said that i should not go and embarrassed myself that some of them have childish mentality.

i don't want to disclose the person for obvious reasons.

please, is it true?

dein77:
How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

let no man deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous.

Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid.

NO

olire:
u didn't even answer my question, yet you are throwing another one at me. Simply unequivocally answer my initial question about whose commandments were given on mount Sinai.

what i'm telling u is that the sabaath commandment doesn't hold after the resurrection of christ.

the person that wrote the article is an enemy and God will judge him for displaying his ignorance. i think the muslim will be happy now.

blessedvisky:
dont derail... And the xplanation i gave you isnt dumb..

see, i can use whatever i like irrespective of what someone else feels as long as it is nt a sin. i can wear good cloth, drive the best cars, even fly jets, use gold like solomon and so on.

gistmelove:



example linda ikeji

na u talk o.

blessedvisky:
you cant knw for sure. The heart of man is desperately wicked

why dnt u say christians with flashing cars should nt use it because of one dumb reason?

killing in uniben since 1900. i will nt advice people to go to that school.

blessedvisky:
paul said somewhere that all things are lawful, but not all things are expedient. Paul sed somewhere else also that if his brother is offended or made weak by him eating meat, then he wont eat it. Sorry if i cant quote them properly as they are written but i remember them faintly... So what am trying to say is if wearing gold would pass you off as a showoff or a proud person, then it is better you shouldnt.

it won't. thank u.

blessedvisky:
The topic of this thread is ''Things a christian shouldnt sell or buy''. Are you now clear on this??

ok, my take is that a christian can use gold.

blessedvisky:
The topic of this thread is ''Things a christian shouldnt sell or buy''. Are you now clear on this??

so a christian should nt buy or sell gold? Make it clearer.

Na who go fit?

obezaleel:
monkey tail nko?

it's among na.. That is weed+ogogoro.

blessedvisky:
if you are using gold in order to show off or to get noticed or so that all eyes will be on you or in order to show that you are 'something', then you are on a long and broad way... No offense

so i should nt use what i bought with my hard earn money for fear of being noticed?

Dnt u even feel pity for ladies already turning mamas and approaching menopause and nt yet married? When are they going to settle down?
