Those who wear the shoes know where it pinches. Don't argue over things you can never understand.

you cannot force me to condemn them or approve them na. i have said that there are other ways that they could have gone about their demands. Nehemiah had a demand for his people, same also did Daniel. like we both agree, protests or political activism do not always work. In fact, most times, protesters usually need to calm down and enter into peaceful dialogue before issues are resolved. The end does not always justify the means.

i'm not the Judge, i'm just saying what proper Christian conduct should be. In our "strive" towards pleasing God and christian growth, i think we should look more to God and His Word than before instead of just what obtains or obtained.

Political activism accompanied by civil disobedience is not right for the Christian to engage in. Political activism is no guarantee anyway. We have many 'noble' and loved political activists who didn't get what they want. Fela, Solarin, Fawehinmi, Soyinka and co have not made Nigeria a better place for instance.
i'm not promoting docility or nonchalance. Request and requirements can be made without civil disobedience. Daniel, Nehemiah and Moses all made requests that were against government policy, but they didn't resort to civil unrest, aluta, violent agitation, reviling, calumny, slander, insurrection and similar action common to unbelievers.

WinsomeX:
The answer to the question, which wish not to answer, is that the author of this book you publish here is Cessationist. You cannot answer my question but you want me to answer yours.

My position on Cessationism is clear. I am not a STRICT Cessationists but I believe the Cessationists arguments as discussed in the Strange Fire Conference should be listened to. You may not agree with all of their conclusions but you cannot claim they are not mostly speaking scriptures. And your wild allegation of saying Cessationism is cultic has no basis whatsoever.

WinsomeX:
vooks, I refer you to the last two paragraphs of the author's statement on pages 17. What do you think he means those words in relation to the Cessationists position. Note the words in bold:

"It is my conviction that the reader is entitled to know the theological position from which this volume is written so that there will be no misconceptions as to the ground for my evaluation. I am a Baptist minister, an evangelical holding to the inerrancy of Scripture, and teach in the fields of Biblical Theology, Comparative Religion, and Apologetics, and am currently Director of the M.A. program at the Simon Greenleaf School of Law (Orange, California).

It is impossible for me to agree with Dr. Braden, “an unrepentant liberal” (p. xi), or to agree that I “hold no brief for any particular cult, nor … violently opposed to any” (p. xi). While I am in agreement that “in general the cults represent the earnest attempt of millions of people to find the fulfillment of deep and legitimate needs of the human spirit, which most of them seem not to have found in the established churches” (p. xi), I feel there is still much more to be said. It has been wisely observed by someone that “a man who will not stand for something is quite likely to fall for almost anything.” So I have elected to stand on the ramparts of biblical Christianity as taught by the apostles, defended by the church fathers, rediscovered by the Reformers, and embodied in what is sometimes called Reformed theology."

You will know better when you feel the lash of the bulala on your nape. You and your verminous kind, are in trouble.

Isaiah 14:2
And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

asin eeeeh i marvel at the type of nonsense a self acclaimed scientist spews here..

MrPresident1:
I am a CORE SCIENTIST AND RESEARCHER MY DEAR FRIEND, [s]THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION, THIS IS ABOUT HERITAGE, THE HERITAGE OF THE RACE THAT CIVILISED THE WHOLE FREAKING UNIVERSE.

Just to clear your mind, here is the meaning of science;

science
/ˈsʌɪəns/
noun: science
the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

Systematic study of structure and behavior through observation and research and experiment.

Start your search, Boy, may God give you understanding. [/s]

2 Kings 7:2
2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?

[s]TELL us if this scripture is a fabrication ! If its truth , the doctrine of trinity ( the word "trinity" itself is a theological concept, the word "trinity" neva appeared anywhere in the scripture) is UNSCRIPTURAL, 1 COR 8:5,6


New Living Translation
But we know that there is only one God, the Father,
who created everything, and we live for him.

New International Version
Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom
all things came and for whom we live;

This scripture NEED NO EXPLANATION, BUT I WILL COMMENT .

1) this scripture tell us there are how many God ? ONE !

2) as this scripture explains, hw many persons are composed in this ONE GOD ? ONLY THE FATHER ! The FATHER NOT The FATHER, SON AND HOLYGHOST ! BUT ONLY THE FATHER.

Is dis scriptural definition not more clear and direct than the theological One God + One God+ One God = One God nonsense .

But wait , probably that scripture is a fabrication AND IF ITS TRUTH ..... TELL US !

There are a lot of hatered, envy and ungodliness going on in the church of God today. Everyone wants to lead and there is no love. the big question is why? where is the love of Christ? cause all we do now is judge one another
