Romance / Re: Do You Believe in No-Sex Before Marriage? by xproducer: 8:37pm On Jul 29, 2023
cutecommend:
I support No-Sex till marriage, but there are concerns about this ideology in this present dispensation..
What No-Sex in Marriage means especially in this generation..

(1) It means No-Sex with my partner because I want to marry him or her, but I will be having sex with other people or my EX.

(2) It may mean No-Sex with you, so that I can benefit certain nice things from you, and because if you sleep with me, you may stop doing the nice stuffs..

(3) It may mean No-Sex with you because I don't like you nor see a future with you, and will dump you when the right person comes.

(4) It may mean no-sex with you, and no sex with anyone else because I don't want sex with anyone at all; whether I love them or not.

(5) It means, no sex with you and no sex with anyone else, because I love you, and I want to make the relationship clean before I marry you.

Yes, and there are consequences for every bad action / sin... Romans 6:23

"Hell and Destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied." - Proverbs 27:20

So, the more one goes on pursuing these worldly lusts one is essentially digging one's own pit deeper each time, with no reward.

"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 2:16-17

Good evening guys, please I need some advice, my wife had pcos then that she couldn't get pregnant and now it's almost our 4th year in the marriage, after doing 2 ivf I told myself not to do it again because the money was not there and adoption is not my thing. So I was worried because am not the kind of man that like polygamy.

The Greatest Gift
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

[quote author=turmacs post=124601225]Now according to the Bible, in Exodus Chapter 33 verse 11 the Bible says and I quote "Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as man speaks to his friend" ......

Now my question here is, all of you that call yourselves Christians in this world today (especially Nigerians), is there anyone among you that God has spoken to face to face, how a man speaks to his friend ? Please I'm not talking about God speaking to you in a dream please, because that is how he speaks to all of you nowadays.. I'm talking about speaking to God face to face , just like the way you would speak to you earthly friend in a conversation...And for those of you that might bring up the argument that Moses was very special to God and he did works for God that no man was capable of, does that mean that God loves some of his children more than he loves others?

First of all, GOD IS GOD and so "works all things according to the counsel of His will" - Ephesians 1:11... so, it is not for the creature/clay to ask the Almighty Maker / Creator of all things "why him and not me?"... you close your mouth!

Second, we cannot simply figure out GOD Almighty - "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!" - Romans 11:33

Third, we can rest assured that "The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works." - Psalm 145:17

Finally, the fact that GOD humbles Himself to commune with human beings, even one, is fascinating and praiseworthy!

"Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth? He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap" - Psalm 113:5-7

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

GOD is perfect and must judge sin... take a look at the Cross!!!

These matters are no joke, so rather than attempt to blame GOD in futility... we should be praising GOD for making a Way to escape certain damnation... all this through HIM, in the Person of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST!

"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... He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." - John 1:16 & 18

Yes that's how Negroes came to resemble Africans because of the mixing and marrying your beautiful black daughters. And just as you saw our fair skin daughters attractive and created the light skin Ethiopians. grin

But know this many of us have never lived in Africa my ancestors came across the Atlantic from France as we are German Franks of the tribe of Benjamin. And you are right and so are others that no Black people are from Europe because we aren't black we are brown. I made a whole post with pictures of the brown skin Hebrew Nobility that ruled Europe. It wasn't a big heavily populated place like it is today as I have shown Europe has gotten alot of immigration since the 1300s. None of those white people were living in Western Europe they came running from Huns, Mongols and Russians behind them. grin Hebrews were a small group of Semitic stock there has never been a whole continent of us like Africans. If Hebrews were added to Semitic people we would make up a whole continent.

Religion / Re: There Is No Muslim Jesus by xproducer: 8:30pm On Jul 16, 2023
Ultimately, it is not about religion or earthly bloodlines... it is about a personal relationship with the only true GOD having been reconciled back to HIM by HIS grace and HIS Personal sacrifice for sin in the Person the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST; being given forgiveness for sins and eternal life.

So says the Lord YESHUA... "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44

If this doesn't happen by GOD's will, no amount of prayer or fasting or good works can grant one forgiveness for sin and access to Heaven to dwell with the Most-High GOD!

"for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

Israel (including the tribe of Judah), Arab nations and all mankind need the Lord YESHUA to escape damnation for sin... because none can pay!

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," - Romans 3:23

"Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for [a]Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." - Romans 10:1-4

Salvation is found by GOD's grace in CHRIST and in the pages of the Holy Bible (Romans 10:17)

"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” - John 3:36

"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

Religion / Re: Christians Practice Ritual Cannibalism. Why? by xproducer: 10:58pm On Jul 09, 2023
Op, what you are referring to is "transubstantiation", defined by a dictionary as "the miraculous change by which according to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox dogma the eucharistic elements at their consecration become the body and blood of Christ while keeping only the appearances of bread and wine"

Transubstantiation is not Biblical! Therefore, the misguided issues - rather non-issues - that you allege re: cannibalism, etc... are inapplicable, and therefore irrelevant!

"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever. These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?” When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." - John 6:56-63

The bread / flesh from Heaven Whom/whom we eat is the Word (John 1:1)/word of GOD, The Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST / the Holy Bible... the giver of life! (Matthew 4:4, Hebrews 4:12-13),

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." - Romans 10:17

Communion - which is a very important ceremony, but like water baptism, etc... are symbolic!

"In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes." - 1 Corinthians 11:25-26

Gagare1:
For me, hell is simply the complete absence of God in a place or a system.

If God is the author of anything good, then the complete absence of God will mean the complete presence of everything bad.

If you will break this down, tons of books can be written.

No matter how bad things may seem now, the fact that God is present moderates the evil you see. Hell is a place where God grants the wishes of those who chose to reject Him by simply saying, "as you wish". God will not be there. If the absence of God is unimaginable then you get the point; hell's evil cannot be imagined.

++++++++

You are correct in part... it is a separation from GOD (or the second death)... just like the separation of the spirit and body causes physical death. Yet, it is imperative to let the Holy Bible - GOD's inerrant word - define all things:

Hell...

Mark 9:48
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 22:13
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Almighty, righteous GOD of creation must judge sin and sinner, whether you believe in sin or not. Praise GOD that HE - at great expense to Himself in the Person of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST - has made provision for many from the beginning of time to its end; to escape the punishment for sin in Hell!

Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die." -Ezekiel 18:4

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

@ Op... First, and contrary to your assertion... the first report of the message of the Gospel of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST in Africa was through the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts chapter 8... many centuries before the arrival of Europeans on the continent in the 1400s and beyond.

Second, the message of the Gospel is soul-saving and good... but evidently a number of foreigners who brought it were flawed, exhibiting and adding cruelty to the message under the mantra of introducing the threes Cs (Commerce, Civilization and Christianity).

You made the following statement: "The entire word of GOD is harmonious and consistent... so try, by GOD's grace to look for reasons to believe rather than to doubt.... childlike faith is necessary, not flawed human assertions based in pride or ignorance."

I'm going to press x to doubt the bolded. If its harmonious and consistent as you say then it'll be free from contradictions. It wouldn't say A here and the next minute say B right? Or am i missing the meaning of harmonious and consistent.

If it is explain to me the following, some of which ive mentioned on this thread. Im all ears and open to your views.

1.) Who did Cain and Seth get married to? Its two things its either there were other people which contradicts the story or they married and slept with their sisters as they were the only ones on earth which is a sin and contradicts according to Leviticus 20:19. Was incest not a sin then or it became one later. Did God change his mind? Does he change his mind?

2.) The number of pairs of clean animals that God told Noah to take into the Ark? Genesis 6:19 - 20 says 2, Genesis 7:2 says 7. That's not harmonious and consistent is it??

3.) In GEN 6 v 3, God reduced the life span of man to 120yrs. But in Gen 11 v 12 -16 in events after the reduction, it lists a lot of people that lived past 120... So... Quite contradictory... Or did God change his mind. Does he change his mind?

4.) About the laws of Moses been usefu? Yes “All scripture is... profitable...” 2 Timothy 3:16. No. “ . . . A former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness... “(Hebrews 7:18). Which is it?

5.) No one has ever seen God 1 John 4:12

No man has seen or can see God 1 Timothy 6:16

But The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day Genesis 18:1.

The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend Exodus 33:11.

All these dont look harmonious and consistent to me, they look like contradictions 3xcept u can explain them away to which ill say shoot. But I seriously doubt that. There are so many more ive come across with no one able to explain. Instead they get angry and defensive, resulting to ad hominems like u have. If u can explain these few be my guest. Ill be happy to gain understanding.

I will respond to at least a couple of points to establish your miscomprehension, thus summarily and incorrectly concluding and attributing to the Holy Bible... fallibility.

Also... how have I engaged in ad hominem attacks, that is, attacks "directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining."? I have no interest is such... only in sharing the word of GOD in truth so that others can benefit.

1. Clearly the children of Adam and Eve would have to have intermarried, and so on... something that was not only genetically different prior to the flood, but the law regarding the impermissibility of such wasn't given until approximately 2, 500 years later! In the meantime GOD commanded humankind to multiply!

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.[/b]” - Genesis 1:27-28

"Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound...." - Romans 5:20

So, you argument is moot on this point.

5. No one living on this planet can see or has seen GOD in person in HIS full Glory because GOD said "[b]...for no man shall see Me, and live.
” - Exodus 33:20... Also, "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father." - John 6:46, and "And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form." - John 5:38

However GOD, in mercifully interacting with HIS creatures - at our level - allowed Himself to be seen in pertinent part:

"And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.” - Exodus 33:21-23

... and more prominently as a Christophany - an appearance or non-physical manifestation of Christ, or HIS Theophany or Incarnation in both the old and new testaments accounts

Appearance to Abraham - Genesis 18:1
Appearance with and to save Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace - Daniel 3:16-28
Appearance to Samson's parents - Genesis 13:18-22
Appearance to Joshua - Joshua 5:13-14

As well as appearances throughout HIS incarnation, including after HIS resurrection....
"Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?" - John 14:9

Conclusion - you must either understand within context or parabolically - by GOD's grace - to understand and agree with the Holy Bible and its harmonious infallibility. So, let us humbly pray that the Lord GOD will mercifully reveals HIS truths to us for our benefit and HIS glory!

"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." - 1 Corinthians 2:14
Religion / Re: Why Does The Bible Contradict Itself? by xproducer: 8:18pm On Jun 08, 2023
Lucifyre:
Normally you hear the bible is God's word given and written by divine inspiration, so most people take it as God's words literally which it is said to be. So if it's God's words and "God is not an author of confusion", wouldn't the bible literally NOT contradict itself?! So i wanted to do the whole bible in a year thing and ive began to notice some things just don't add up and in good faith i'ld like open minded christians(those who read their bibles not my pastor said), if there are any here to explain these things to me.

I think most of these contradictions have contributed to the several denominations(10,000+) of Christianity even though they claim to hear from one God. They have different doctrines and interpret the bible differntly while hearing from the same God. With the massive irony being that they don't even agree with the religion where they originated from which is Judaism as jews don't believe in Jesus and Jesus was a jew so they stick to the old testament. Even christians generally don't unanimously agree on the books included in the bible. Some are totally removed while some extraz are added in some denominations e.g Catholic

Sorry for the tangent but anyways the main iss is i'm trying to make sense of some of these things that don't add up or are contradictions. I'll share one today to discuss and more later.

According to the bible, Adam was the first man on earth, while Eve the first woman. They birhted the first procreated people Cain and Abel. We all know what went down between them. After cain killed Abel, God cursed him and put a mark on him. Here's the part i can't explain (GEN 4 v 13-16). Cain made the following statement: "Whoever finds me would kill me" and God responded “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

If they're the first people on earth who are these other people that are being referred to that could find and kill Cain

-----------

Adam lived for 930 years (Genesis 5:5)... don't you think that he fathered many children, who in turn fathered many children and children within those centuries and beyond... some of whom would be Cain's contemporaries who could pose this harm to him especially if he would live for hundreds of years himself.

The entire word of GOD is harmonious and consistent... so try, by GOD's grace to look for reasons to believe rather than to doubt.... childlike faith is necessary, not flawed human assertions based in pride or ignorance.

"To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled." - Titus 1:15

"The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times." - Psalm 12:6

I tell you all truly... these things come with consequences, both physical (diseases, pregnancy, drama, etc) and spiritual (sin and its wages, i.e. death!) - Romans 6:23

"But you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored." - Daniel 5:23

"But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." - Matthew 5:44-45

Yeah just curious about this issues that people believe it’s God that make some people to be rich. Imagine all our politicians we say that are rich while we know they steal public funds. Some shady deals people do that makes them rich.

Look at Tinubu with so many controversy surrounding his wealth. Can we say it’s God that bless him? Someone working in CBN that can just print so much money for himself and just be rich. He doesn’t have to pray to get it.

"Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches. Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence. For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I had said, 'I will speak thus,' Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children. When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me— Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors." - Psalm 73:12-19

"Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them." - Psalm 62:10

"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." - Matthew 6:24

While growing up, I used to be pious and chaste. I grew up in a Catholic family. I joined the Alter Boys Association early on in life. I grew up with the nascent feeling of wanting to be a priest. My mum encouraged me on the aforementioned subject. I went on to act as Jesus Christ in the passion of Christ acted in my church. Parishioners gave me the sobriquet 'jesus' for the role I played. I tried to be active in Church and joined the Board of Lectors due to my eloquence. I took up different leadership positions



Everything would change for the worse after going into the higher institution. I could not manage my independence well. I learnt masturbation, after which gambling. Most recently I went into the habit of patronising promiscuous women in return for sexual pleasure. I also engage in mischief for my own personal aggrandisement.



Things of God no longer excites me. Hard to pray or dress up to church. But call me for flirting or partying and see me euphoric. I know I need to change but the influence of the contemporary world is strong.

Cry out to the Lord GOD daily for mercy and strength to obey HIS word the Bible (Psalm 51:17) -

"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." - Hebrews 4:14-16

Just look at the cross to have an idea of how serious sin is. Not a game


"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9

What you observe in your churches was never commanded by God as you clearly see in His Old Law which He gave to the Hebrews in the Land of Canaan, and has nothing to do with Jesus Christ who also never commanded your gatherings.

"Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." - Proverbs 26:12

"Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” - 1 Corinthians 3:18-20

Religion / The Holy Bible Keeps You From Sin... Sin Keeps You From The Holy Bible by xproducer: 10:28pm On May 22, 2023
Sin comes with devastating consequences (Psalm 73:27)... like digging one's own grave (Isaiah 30:1).

For one's own sake... stay close to GOD by staying in the infallible word of GOD and in prayer (Matthew 26:41)!

"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

"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." - Psalm 119:9

"For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry." - Psalm 73:27

Note that the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST, the WORD HIMSELF responded to the tempter with the word of GOD three times... "It is written" (Luke 4:1-13)
