GOD could appear to you in the form of an unattractive person to test you, while anti-christ/devil could come in form of an attractive person.

Learn to focus on how righteous and holy a person is, and not how beautiful or attractive his is.

Try as much as you can to stop representing GOD with images of mere man.

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?

Exposure to the truth. Religion is a mix of ignorance and mental weakness. When you eliminate both you inevitably renounce it.

Truth in the context refers to scientific and historical truths. The most striking one being that most stories in abrahamic holy books are a collection of myths from sumerian, mesopotamian, egytian e.t.c civilizations that were altered over time.

It is not about religion... it is about a true personal Father / child relationship with GOD, one's Maker! There can be no relationship with the Holy GOD unless one is cleansed by HIM of all sin!

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

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12

Is the above statement not false in light of what the entire Holy Scripture teaches... particularly what the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST HIMSELF says? What is with all the "Trinitarian" labelling? All that matters pertinently is the GOD given word of GOD / Holy Scripture... so humbly search the Scriptures!


Yes the LORD GOD is ONE, yet HE mercifully reveals Himself to mankind in Three distinct Persons... we accept what GOD reveals and humbly pray for wisdom... not deny what HE has declared repeatedly!

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." - Matthew 28:18-20

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." - 1 John 5:7

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." - Genesis 1:26

There is only ONE Savior of mankind from the righteous wrath of GOD to come for sin/ judgment day... found in GOD HIMSELF, in the Person of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST - The Living WORD, The LOGOS!

"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12

And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. Jeremiah 7:31; 19:5

At death all creatures return to dust and the force powering their breath return to the giver {Ecclesiastes 12:7 compare to Genesis 2:7} so at death man has paid FULLY for all his sin {Romans 6:7} because the ultimate wage for sin is DEATH! Romans 6:23 compare to Genesis 3:19

"so at death man has paid FULLY for all his sin {Romans 6:7} because the ultimate wage for sin is DEATH!" ??



Read the Holy Scriptures...

Mankind can be born twice - 1. in the flesh, and 2. in the spirit only by the operation of GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT! (John 3:1-8)

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." - John 3:5-6

... so also mankind can die twice - 1. in the flesh, and 2. in the spirit and soul.

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." - Daniel 12:2

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." - Revelation 21:8 (also Revelation 2:11, Revelation 20:6, Revelation 20:14)

"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." - Matthew 13:41-43


Today is still the day of salvation:

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." - Psalm 51:17

nencounter10:
The Bible proves clearly that a child of God is God.

Let's see the relevant scriptures.

John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

The above scripture stated clearly that anyone fathered by God is equal to God.The Jews rightly held this notion. Neither Jesus nor the Bible disprove this notion.

We know for certain that a child of God is fathered by God.(See John 1:12-13, James 1:18.)...

Are you serious? GOD is GOD alone... and HE knows precisely what the redeemed of GOD in CHRIST, YESHUA are... "the spirits of just men made perfect..." - Hebrews 12:23

"For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone." - Psalm 86:10

The redeemed of the LORD are not inclined, by GOD's grace, to magnify themselves... rather say...

"Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified." - Psalm 70:4

"God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God." - Psalm 62:11

"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake." - Psalm 115:1

in the beginning God created the heavens and earth and everything there in.. which means he is the owner.. the creator..... but how come when lucifer tempted jesus christ... he showed him all the good things of life...if only he would bow to him.. then it will all be his. (as another owner)

Does it mean satan owns the world?
did God sold the world to him after creation?
was there any sort of bargain when he casted him from heaven?
is there two owners of this world?

"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods." - Psalm 24:1-2

Apparently at the fall in the garden of Eden, mankind fell through mankind's first parents... who disobeyed GOD, and obeyed the deceiver / serpent (Romans 6:16), who was given a temporary sort of authority over this present world which is fading away... (1 John 2:15-17)

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." -2 Corinthians 4:4

Despite all of this, GOD has already passed judgment on the deceiver - "Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." - John 16:11

"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming" - 2 Thessalonians 2:8

"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?" -2 Corinthians 3:5-8

"For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech" - 2 Corinthians 3:9-12

"And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away" - 2 Corinthians 3:13-16

friend... the Lord JESUS, the CHRIST can truly free you from all bondage to sin! "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23

Won't you cry out to HIM continuously in prayer today and from now on?

GOD Who made the ear... hears (Psalm 34:18, Psalm 51:17! Read the Holy Bible continuously... the living word of GOD gives strength (Hebrews 4:12-13, Philippians 4:6-7 & 13)

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins" - Ephesians 2:1

" If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." - John 8:36

Pray and read the Holy Bible whenever you are tempted.

There are compelling reasons to adhere to the word of GOD.

"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts." - Proverbs 6:23-35

Have you ever wondered how HE, the one supreme God most religions worship today got all his powers ? What if there were many other gods even before the existence of time whom HE tricked to merge "some" of their powers with him for the purpose of creation thereby weakening them just so, he may have it all ? I presume this to have happened before the creation of man and the earth we live in

NB: I believe there are higher powers but I refuse to believe, only one exists

Topic: The Cost of Salvation.

We believe there are some people who do not believe it cost God anything to save man from eternal destruction. Well, the truth is, it cost God His Son, Jesus to save mankind, John 3:16.

God is the Almighty; but even in that capacity He did not just declare the salvation of man, He paid for it. The bible says we are bought with a price, 1Cor 6:20.

Though grace is freely given to us, it was never obtained freely by God; He parted with His most prescious Son who died the most painful death on the cross for us to be redeemed. Gloooory!

We at LearnChrist therefore admonished believers to take their walk with God seriously - living a life that befits Christ and pleasing unto God.

We pray for you, You will not miss eternity in Jesus name �.

This is why we should read the Holy Bible in its entirety, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things (1 Corinthians 2:13)... that is, Scripture with Scripture.

GOD knows all things... is it not a matter of the intent of the heart when one / creation claps its hands?!


Here are parts of Holy Scripture that associate hand clapping with praise, worship and celebration in the joy and peace of GOD

"O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph." - Psalm 47:1

"Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together" - Psalm 98:8

"For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." - Isaiah 55:12

NigerianAngelo:


Take time to reread the opening post carefully. It answers much of what you are asking.

Summary: All men will rise again (their souls being reunited with their bodies),,, on the Last Day(Jn 5:25-29),, but the Blessed body of Mary was risen into heaven two days after her death, (her soul being reunited with her body) in order not to leave it on this Earth, because God would and will not. Bc as Christ, He will not give His holy one (Jesus or Mary and perhaps St. Joseph) to see corruption.

It is easy to understand and agreeable even to reason. Can you now understand?
"Thou art holy o my love and there is not a spot in thee."[ (Cant 4:7) "One is my dove, my perfect one is but one." (Cant 6:8 )

If you do not believe, you go to hell, as with every other article of faith expressively explained (dogmas).

Not very Christian-like now are you? Have you then not understood?

Invoke?

Invoke definition - "cite or appeal to (someone or something) as an authority for an action or in support of an argument." or "call on (a deity or spirit) in prayer, as a witness, or for inspiration." or "call earnestly for."

Mediator definition - "a person who attempts to make people involved in a conflict come to an agreement; a go-between."

The Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST is the DEITY / HOLY ONE to Whom any should be praying to for salvation and humble communion with the MOST HIGH GOD!

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" - 1 Timothy 2:5

"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

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12

NigerianAngelo:
Today is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven.

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the raising up of her blessed body to be reunited and forever be with her blessed soul in heaven, after the manner of Our Lord's Ascension.

Our Lord ascended Himself, "I have power to lay it down, I have power to take it up again" (Jn 10:16), but the Most Holy Trinity, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, assumed Mary into heaven.

"Because thou would not allow thy holy one to suffer corruption." (Ps 15:10)

The Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is in anticipation of what would happen to the souls of the elect and the damned on the Last Day.

Because soul and body cooperated in the doing of good or of evil, both soul and body would partake in the glory of merit or the damnation of demerit for all eternity, God so ordaining, Creator of soul and body, and who Himself partook in body, thereby making it blessed and eternal.

The Blessed Virgin Mary died at 67 years and 11 months, on the 13th August and her body was assumed into heaven on the 15th August.


"Thou art all fair O my love, and there is not a spot in thee"; "Arise, and come, my love, my dove. For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone." (Cant 4:7; 2:10,11)

+++

First, friend, there is no Psalm 15:10... Psalm 15 ends at verse 5! The verse you are referring to is a reference to the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST in Psalm 16:10! Refer to Acts 2:1-31 where the Apostle Peter, under the Inspiration of the HOLY SPIRIT refers to GOD's prophetic revelation to King David about the CHRIST, the Lord YESHUA!

"For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption." - Acts 2:25-31


Second... it is important to acknowledge the unique role that Mary had in GOD's plan of salvation for humankind, yet is it not necessary to realize that any deviation from the inspired, inerrant written word of GOD - Genesis to Revelation - could lead to error?

Is it not proper to magnify the Lord GOD and HIM alone?!
"And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it" - Luke 11:27-28

... and even following Mary's example, "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." - Luke 1:46-48

Is it not dangerous to adhere to doctrines of men?! (Matthew 15:9, Mark 7:7, Colossians 2:21-23)

Tell me this... where from Genesis to Revelation does it mention Mary being assumed into heaven bodily? We know, by GOD's mercies of Enoch, of Elijah... and of the Lord YESHUA HIMSELF.

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." - Revelation 22:18-19

"The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left." - Isaiah 24:4-6

Why indeed... only the Lord GOD can answer this! We needn't judge anyone (Matthew 7:1-5)... for GOD is Judge Himself (Psalm 50:6).

We ought to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12)

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 7:21

"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." - 2 Timothy 2:19

Dtruthspeaker:


Again!

We have settled all these before but you are unable to accept it and it is not that after answering you, you would change and follow Christ. You still would not, so there is no need.

Indeed...

"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself." -Titus 3:9-11
