Colossians 1:16
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him.
John 1:3 Verse Concepts All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
1 Corinthians 8:6 Verse Concepts yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Romans 10 vs 9. Romans 8: 11 and I don't know why he did this, but you figure it out: Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' When he had said this, he breathed his last" (Luke 23:46). |

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Died . Jesus Or His Body ?? by xaggar(m): 11:08am On Sep 29, 2018 |
bloodofthelamb: Men saw God in the old testament. Since, Jesus said no one has seen God the Father who dwells in an unapproachable light. It is only ovious that who they saw was the Son, who is also God.
JW will not accept it. Because accepting it means abandoning the lies they have been fed all this while. Liar! (At the bolded). So you trying to say the biblical statements below are wrong or half-truths? John 1:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Exodus 33:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. Issue is: from your stance the Bible seem to contradict itself. But upon a closer look at it (the scriptures), it tell us that they were "the ANGELS OF THE LORD". In English that statement means they were angels sent or from the LORD. And the Israelites thought they were seeing God. Moreover these Angels were His spokespersons. Much like we have today in Ministers of Information and P.R.O's. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Church Gives N1M To Man Who Sleeps On Meat Seller's Table In Abuja by xaggar(m): 10:47pm On Sep 17, 2018 |
Read
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 6:1).
There are some people who only do good when it can be seen. Their goal is to be recognized for their generosity. We need look no further than the monopolizers, Rockefeller and Carnegie, to see an illustration of this type of giving. Rockefeller and Carnegie were even in a competition for who could give the most—who could out philanthropize the other one. But their efforts were not merely about giving; it was about empire building. They were trying to create lasting legacies in their own names, so that they could live forever in the annuals of history. And it worked.
Does Jesus’ rebuke mean that the philanthropic labors of Rockefeller and Carnegie were in vain? Certainly not. There are many great things in our world that only happened because of the generosity of Rockefeller and Carnegie—whole non-profits and institutions owe their start to Rockefeller and Carnegie.
But where is the reward for efforts done for the sake of recognition? They are left right here on earth, where they occur. Jesus makes clear that those who seek recognition get their reward here, not in heaven. Their reward is the praise of other people. Jesus elaborates on this, saying:
“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward” (Matthew 6:2 ESV).
Thinking of local Jewish leaders of the Pharisee and Sadducee party, Jesus uses the analogy of someone sounding a trumpet before giving to the impoverished. He could be alluding to some regular practice at the Jerusalem Temple. Jesus could be recognizing that most people made a very big deal about their giving. Without recognition, the wealthy likely thought they would lose some (perhaps even all) of the benefit. Jesus calls this type of behavior hypocritical. But why is it hypocritical? Answer: power.
Those who give out of a desire to be recognized are really seeking popularity. And popularity is a tool of power. If people believe you are generous, they are likely to be more trusting. And if they trust you, they will do business with you. For many wealthy people, this is why they give—respect of peers and their local community. Most often they give out of guilt (expectations) or to seek respect (power). And neither reason for giving aligns with God’s priorities.
Furthermore, giving is often a method of expressing power. If I supply for another person’s needs, especially when being recognized for doing so, the person I give to will feel indebted to me. At the very least, they will be forced to compromise some dignity in accepting my charity. Thus, for Jesus, the setting of giving was critical. He understood that all these things could be involved in the giving process.
This does not mean that giving done in vain is useless to God or his work. It can still be used for great good. But there is a better way. In this regard, Jesus says:
“But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you” (Matthew 6:3-4 ESV).
For Jesus, it’s all about intent. This is his concern. But does this mean that we should never give publicly? Does it mean that we should never tell the stories of those who give? What about the stories of those who receive?
We must ask: Why are we giving? When we expose our giving to others, why do we do so? When we tell the stories of the impoverished being empowered, why do we do so? Are we ensuring that each step is done with dignity, honesty, and for the right reasons? Are we seeking God’s glory or our own?
Our guiding principle should be giving privately. While we will at times make exceptions to the principle, we must only make exceptions for the sake of God’s glory and ministry. It must have a larger purpose and intent in mind. And we must continue to glorify God whenever recognition comes. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Why Are Blood Transfusions So Bad? by xaggar(m): 6:59am On Sep 16, 2018 |
chiommy123: no. Not every one that received blood lives. God just wanted to test Abraham's faithfulness. Loving God with all your heart and soul means obeying Gods commandments, loving your neighbor, serving God with all that is within you. God said I will that you prosper even as your soul prosperth. You know prosperity is not just money, good health is also prosperity. Pls where did God discouraged blood transfusion Olodo! Lazy input! When He says; Abstain from blood (Acts 15) does abstain mean "take blood through your veins?" What is your definition for Abstain? What do you understand by blood money? Why did David not drink the water given to him by his men by the exploit of their lives? If someone takes blood transfusion, has he or she really abstained from blood? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: Why Are Blood Transfusions So Bad? by xaggar(m): 6:40am On Sep 16, 2018 |
eyinjuege: What caught my interest in this thread was the mention of Serena Williams. I felt it was unfair to just assume the problems she faced post partum/delivery was because of her JW beliefs, when it clearly wasn't and had nothing to do with blood transfusion. It's unfair to write off someone else's struggles particularly with their health, and just generalise that yes it's because she's JW. She's rich, has access to the best health care so things could only go wrong because she is JW- very faulty assumptions. Like I explained earlier, her struggles had nothing to do with her beliefs, and giving her blood transfusion would have done nothing, as she didn't need one. It probably would have worsened her case. I felt it was unfair on her especially when the narrative wasn't like that When it comes to people's life choices, it's theirs. When it comes to people's beliefs, it's also theirs. You may not agree with them, but provided they are not hurting anyone else then let them own it. We can't always make the right decisions every time. These people don't believe in receiving other people's blood, so what are the other practical options available for them? I believe the science of medicine is moving away from the Dr says it's this approach. It's now moving towards patient centered approach where their choices are not toyed with. Whether right or wrong, what of their quality of life? Can a JW person live with themselves after being coerced into taking someone else's blood? So there's a mental health approach to it again. It's their beliefs. Can you make them not believe that again? Possibly, but definitely not by putting down their beliefs or by lying on one of their members just to prove a point! Your explanation is excellent. Instead of these HYPOCRITES to focus on how our clime could develop bloodless medicine or surgery like the western/advanced world is working at, they are here being extremely lazy to accept the fact the there are ways to handle such and would always act like they care about ones life. Seun had to "LIE" just to create traffic on this web. Later they come to insult Laid Mohammed; HYPOCRITES. If he was reasonable enough he could create a thread discussing bloodless medicine and surgery (stop the explanation on trying to be analytical or critical on ones decision). A question. Do you (hairypunzel, seun, albaghdadi) think or can you imagine David, Moses, Paul, Daniel, Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego accepting a blood transfusion if their lives required it if the procedure was available back then? Why do some go as far as being martyred even when they had an easy way out? They could as well had repented after they were spared. Why? |
