Try placing your hand in a burning gas cooker fire for just 10 seconds, imagine the pain? Worse still, remember the Aluu 4 boys that where burnt to death in 2012, remember their agony? Now we are meant to believe that a loving God will place his priced creation in a place of everlasting fire burning for all eternity with no form of escape because of finite transgressions and not believing in the death of his son? Even Hitler or the worse human in all history doesn't deserve such punishment.

Christians please make it make sense. Thanks

These cosmic-related matters are typically beyond human comprehension... with the exception of that which GOD mercifully reveals.

First, hell was not initially man for mankind, but since the fall of mankind (caused by obedience to the enemy for whom hell was made, and disobedience to GOD)... mankind was automatically compelled to go there because that is the law! "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry..." - 1 Samuel 15:23.. let's not forget that GOD is Holy and Just and must judge sin!

"For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” - Ezekiel 18:32

“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" - Matthew 25:41

Second, Hell has been repeatedly prophesied for millennia and the Lord YESHUA - The Truth Himself repeatedly mentions it as it is very serious!!! Are you saying that you know better than the SON of GOD, The WORD of GOD HIMSELF?

"The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" - Matthew 13:41-43

"So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” - Matthew 13:49-50


"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23

jesusjnr2020:
Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven?

If we go by the teachings of Jesus, he certainly won't make heaven.

Jesus said "unless you repent, you shall likewise perish!" Luke 13:13.

He also said no sinner shall make it into heaven. Matthew 13:41.

So do not deceived by those church leaders who preach tithing above the most important things in the law, such as, repentance of sins, that have made many sinners in the church think that it is more important to pay tithes than to turn away from their sinful ways.

They are blind leaders of the blind just as the Pharisees in the days of Jesus who did the same thing, but Jesus called them the "children of hell" regardless of their paying of tithes because inwardly they were full of iniquity. Matthew 13:15,28

So although paying of tithes is a good thing, if you don't repent of your sins, it cannot save you from hell!

You need to repent of your sins!

God bless.

++++++++

Indeed! Yet we remember that it is GOD Himself Who gives eternal life to a person He saves from judgement - through His is infallible Word (John 3:16/John 1:1, Romans 10:17)

Yes, repent by the grace of GOD... yet always "‘...Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts...." - Zechariah 4:6... so we constantly cry out to the Lord GOD for mercy and grace and strength to repent and to do so substantively, continuously unto salvation.


"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" - Ephesians 2:8

"David danced before the LORD"

13 "And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 14 Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 17 So they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death. - 2 Samuel 6:13-23

Spot on, friend, and to supplement...

“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth." - Deuteronomy 7:6

"For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth." - Deuteronomy 14:2 (Also Deuteronomy 14:21)

"and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken.” - Deuteronomy 26:19 (Also Deuteronomy 28:9)

"Holy People" is used in the word of GOD to describe either (1). the nation of Israel/ Jerusalem which now is... or (2). it is used to describe all human beings from the beginning of time until its end, who come to trust in, by faith, grace and mercy, the Lord GOD / YESHUA the CHRIST for salvation from sin's death-judgments... that is the Jerusalem, which is above, with the Lord YESHUA Himself Being the Chief Cornerstone!

"which things are symbolic. For these are [a]the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all." - Galatians 4:24-26

"For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God." - Romans 2:28-29

Read the Holy Scriptures... and you will at least know that:

"The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters." - Psalm 24:1-2

So, you would know that GOD is Sovereign and made everything and everyone and can give what He wants to whom He wants... always doing so in righteousness!

You would know what GOD Himself told Abraham after He called him out of Ur of the Chaldees (current day Iraq) to make him a nation (Israel), as well as a "father of us all" (Romans 4:11-16), who come to trust by faith and grace in GOD/The LORD YESHUA for salvation of the soul from the coming judgment... that HE gave him the land! (Notwithstanding their historic expulsion to Babylon and then the rest of word in A.D. 70 by the Romans because of sin!)

Promises to Abram
"Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” - Genesis 12:1-3

"On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.” - Genesis 15:18-22

"Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” - Genesis 17:8

However, there were warnings to the new nation:

"You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you." - Leviticus 18:26-28 (Also Leviticus 20:21-23)

So, we know who owns it and how they prophetically came back to the land in 1948 after centuries on centuries of expulsion...

But for command to the contrary, one must now humanely consider all human suffering and treat people as we want to be treated (Luke 6:31)... violence often begets violence.

“You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." - Exodus 22:21

“Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt." - Exodus 23:9

"Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." - Deuteronomy 10:19

Can one have true lasting peace without The "Prince" (Isaiah 9:6) / King of Peace - YESHUA the CHRIST?

GOD, however, is mercifully not done with the nation -

"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." - Romans 11:25

Praise GOD for so great a salvation for all people who come to the Lord YESHUA!!!

jesusjnr2020:
No I actually don't. I only see you contradicting yourself. I said the Bible is not the Word of God to me, but the teachings of Jesus and anything else in the Bible that aligns with it, but you said that was contradictory, however failed to show me how.

By the way, you didn't answer the question I asked after I did yours.

++++++++

Friend, I see what appears to be zeal... but I pray that the LORD GOD shows you that the entire Holy Bible, from Genesis through Revelation is the infallible, inspired, written word of GOD...

The Lord YESHUA , the WORD, the LOGOS said Himself, "Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God." - Hebrews 10:7

He also says, "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” - John 5:46-47

GOD clearly records the unrighteous actions and deviations of individuals and the nation/s... but it is all inspired and all useful for a number of purposes, all of which GOD knows... including saving souls, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." - 2 Peter 1:21

David’s Last Words
"Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel: “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue. The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God." - 2 Samuel 23:1-3

johnog4sure:
Who is talking in those scriptures? Yahweh, El, a prophet, a preacher? Don't you think it is important to know, I mean is stupidity having 'faith' without knowledge, religion encourage people to remain blind but 'believe' which to me is suspicious, don't you think so?

+++++++++

Those who have truly believed in the Lord YESHUA the CHRIST because GOD has mercifully opened our eyes know why and Whom we have believed.

"For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day." -2 Timothy 1:12

Is it not the pride of man that inhibits him/her from humbly - on one's knees and face - coming before and submitting to GOD Almighty?

"But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” - James 4:6

Child-like faith by grace alone is required!

"and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 18:3

johnog4sure:
you said read the word of God, I believe you are referring to the 'Old and New testament ' how about our original African orally transfered stories of God, the Chinese version of God, the Hindu, Islam all those should be nullified?

Short answer, friend? Yes!!!

There is only one Truth, there Is only one GOD... the GOD of the Holy Bible!

"Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." - John 17:1-3

How does one know if the person who comes to church dressed in such a manner has only this one set of clothes and one pair of shoes?? Does dressing like this affect one's ability to genuinely worship his or her Creator in spirit and in truth in Christ??

Do Not Judge
“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” - Luke 6:37-38

Jewish people have their God Yahweh, just as we have Ogun, Sango, omadiaha etc. Even in the east they have Astheroth, Baal. Why is it that christians and Muslims claim the Jewish God yet reject Jews and Judaism?
Indians and Chinese don't claim the Jewish God yet they're doing fine, morally, spiritually and physically/materially...
Even the Jewish used to have plenty gods, polytheism, before they have a covenant with Yahweh and that is why I am concerned because I don't think that covenant concerns other races, black, Chinese, Indians etc. If the covenant does not concern us why force ourself on a God who doesn't want us, isn't it wise to worship our gods just as indians and others do

++++++++

Please read the word of GOD... all answers are there by GOD's mercies!

The GOD of the Bible is the GOD of all flesh (Jeremiah 32:27) and HE says so!

"I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” - Genesis 12:3

"Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham." - Galatians 3:7-9 (Also Romans 4:1-16)

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." - 3:16

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12

Sundays are usually set aside for church, to worship and praise God.

-So many still derive pleasure in going to church despite life's challenges.
-Yet so many have stopped going to church due to one reason or the other.

If you fall in the second category, kindly share why you stopped going to church.
Let's encourage one another in love...

Indeed...

"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." - Hebrews 10:24-25

You neither know what I have undoubtedly seen, nor all that I believe... GOD is good and HE is many things Wonderful... GOD is the "GOD of all flesh" - Jeremiah 32:27

"For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens." - Psalm 96:4-6

Believe it!

There Is No Other God

“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God." -Isaiah 44:6

"Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me." - Isaiah 45:21

One need only look at the cross and ask oneself why it was necessary for the holy SON of GOD, the WORD... the Lord YESHUA HIMSELF to under-go all that HE did in suffering and dying (and resurrecting) for all whom HE came to stand as the Substitute for... to know that, but for GOD's mercies:

sin is deadly serious!!!

"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” - Revelation 21:8

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23

What does the quran - which was written several hundred years after the Holy Bible was completed in approx. A.D. 90 - say about the Holy Bible?

According to this scholar in the video, the quran says that the Holy Bible is "the revelation of GOD.." that the Bible is "true" and that "it says to believe it..."

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - John 14:6

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:!2

Op...

Your comparison is faulty... the comparison of Moses putting off the tent of his physical body and the future destruction of the bodies and souls of all people in hell who don't belong to the Lord YESHUA. There is no comparison to be made.

The LORD GOD called Moses home as his task was done! Moses, like all whom the LORD GOD has mercifully saved over the millennia from the foundation of the world, is alive in CHRIST!

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount
"Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him." - Matthew 17:1-3

"But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.” - Mark 12:26-27

"We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." - 2 Corinthians 5:8

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." - Romans 1:18-21

Yet through it all, "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works." - Psalm 145:8-9

Today is still the day of salvation... please believe the good news of the Gospel! (John 3:16)

jaephoenix:

Can you point out where the prophecies were made?

++++++++

From cover to cover in all sixty-six books of the Holy Bible... a few of which I alluded to prior... do some prayer and research.

Acts 17:10-11
New King James Version
Ministering at Berea

"Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

jaephoenix:

So was the Bible divinely inspired?

++++++++

Without question, yes... mankind does not write like this... only GOD declares centuries prior (of the arrival of the Lord YESHUA, MESSIAH HIMSELF, of Persian king Cyrus and his part in history, other empires past and their end) and decades before with specificity (destruction of the second temple in A.D. 70, the reformation and return of the nation of Israel to their given homeland, etc).

In the Holy Bible the evidence of humankinds' shortcomings are apparent, but certainly more evident is GOD's purpose, and power and infinite wisdom!

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." - 2 Peter 1:21

David’s Last Words:
"Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel: "The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue. The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God." - 2 Samuel 23:1-3

It appears to be a simple Transcription related matter.

1 KINGS 4:26—HOW CAN THIS VERSE SAY SOLOMON HAD 40,000 STALLS WHEN 2 CHRONICLES 9:25 SAYS HE HAD ONLY 4,000 STALLS?
PROBLEM: In recording the prosperity of Solomon, this passage states that he had 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots. However, 1 Chronicles 9:25 affirms that Solomon had only 4,000 stalls for horses. Which one is right?

SOLUTION: This is undoubtedly a copyist error. The ratio of 4,000 horses to 1,400 chariots, as found in the 2 Chronicles passage, is much more reasonable than a ratio of 40,000 to 1,400 found in the 1 Kings text. In the Hebrew language, the visual difference between the two numbers is very slight. The consonants for the number 40 are rbym,? while the consonants for the number 4 are rbh (the vowels were not written in the text). The manuscripts from which the scribe worked may have been smudged or damaged and have given the appearance of being forty thousand rather than four thousand. - https://defendinginerrancy.com/bible-solutions/1_Kings_4.26.php

Indeed...

"Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all." -1 Corinthians 14:22-24

"I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification." -1 Corinthians 14:5

Speaking and preaching the word of GOD / the Bible is prophecy... which is greater than the sign of speaking in tongues (which is prayer to GOD in an unknown language).

"And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” - Revelation 19:10

The three major things to watch out for and pray against are:

1. The lust of the flesh,
2. The lust of the eyes, and
3. The pride of life

The same or similar tricks were used against Adam and Eve until this very day!

Do Not Love the World
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." - 1 John 2:15-17

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." - 1 Peter 5:8

"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” - Mark 14:38

"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." - 1 Corinthians 6:18

"Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” - 1 Corinthians 6:16

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." - Galatians 6:7-8

"Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." - Revelation 19:10

"...remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it." - Isaiah 46:9-11

FxMasterz:



Throughout the scriptures, wherever there is hearty praises and worship, the power of God is always manifested.

Those who know how to praise God would be the carriers of His Presence. Those who carry His Presence would manifest the Presence. The Presence of God is the most important asset of a believer.

Without it, I am nobody.
