OkCornel:


I hope you know this passage refers to the book of revelation alone...

Not a set of books called The Bible.

++++++++

Read the entire word of GOD, and by GOD's mercies you will understand the principle applies to GOD's entire inspired word to mankind - the Holy Bible...

"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 perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." - 2 Peter 1:21

King David said... "The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue[/b]." - 2 Samuel 23:1-3

Again... attempting to add to or subtract from the word of GOD (a futile effort) is not permitted in His entire word!

"[b]Every word of God is pure : he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." - Proverbs 30:5-6

"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

TenQ:

Of course, Christians have been consistent with their position that the Messiah is GOD WITH US the same Jesus the Christ! But Muslims would like to manufacture three gods for Christians so that they can have an argument.
Qur'an 5:72
They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, “Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?” ....


In other words, even the Qur'an testifies that Christians have been calling God as Christ! But they just have to manufacture three gods so that they can have a Strawman to fight!

+++

Indeed... yet ultimately when CHRIST returns to create new Heavens and a new Earth and eradicate his enemies - all will confess the truth - GOD has declared it so it will happen!

"And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power" - 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9

"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." - Revelation 20:10

"I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." - Isaiah 45:23

"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Philippians 2:10-12

Am a 29-year-old guy, who dropped out of school for no reason in 2015,tried to get me in line back but things just go from worse, I stay with my mum but things are not rosy between us that she dislikes me so much, to say the least, have tried working legit jobs, tried scamming and at the end it turns out to be from one misfortune to another, I don't smoke or drink, I turned to gamble and it has gotten me into debts that I can't even mention it here..have prayed and fast but it seems am doomed..have attempted suicide twice but I feel God failed to take my life. am depressed, and I feel darkness all around me, I know for sure it's a spiritual battle but at this point, I can't fight it alone, my life was bright a few years ago now am at risk of taking my life every morning I wake.i am not here begging for help because even people around me that can help just won't, because of reasons i don't understand..i need help or the devil might eventually win this time...please people

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." - Hebrews 13:5

"And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly." - Romans 5:3-6

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." - Hebrews 11:6

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَـٰنَهُمْ أَرْبَابًۭا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَـٰهًۭا وَٰحِدًۭا ۖ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ


They have taken their rabbis and monks as well as gods besides Allah AND THE MESSIAH the son of Maryam, and they were not commanded except to worship only one God. None is worthy of worship˺ except Him. Purity is to him above what they associate (with Him).

TenQ translate this by yourself. or substitute the word as you did earlier cos their scholars' translations are spurious. The Arabic is different from English. They are deceitful.

There is only one GOD!

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:14

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6

"Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." - Isaiah 44:6 (Isaiah 45:21)

"But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." - Matthew 5:34-37

Disobedience to GOD's command is rebellion!

"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king" - 1 Samuel 15:23

Thank GOD for the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST - the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45) - Who never fails and IS perfectly righteous, through Whom we have reconciliation back to GOD and life eternal by HIS grace... without Whom all humanity would have been doomed!

donprincebigt:
To begin with, I'm a Christian and also a worker in church.

I live opposite to an orthopedic native doctor house, we've been together for more than a decade. Forgetting our different religion, we still have a neighborhood relationship, to cut the long story short this family is doing well on their own part.

Recently, I now discovered that some so called christians are coming to the front of their house to preach against their religion. One even said it point blank that E FI OSHA TE NSIN LE (LEAVE THE IDOL YOU ARE WORSHIPPING)

For me this kind of act or attitude is wrong because first of all when you are doing a morning sermon or prayer in the streets, it's either you stay at the junction to preach or you walk down the street while preaching or praying, not coming directly to the man's house to preach against his religion.

The thing about this orthopedic native doctor family is that some of them are even practicing Christianity and some islam, therefore those that continue the oracle religion chose their own path.

I don't just know why some Christians are like that, because how will it look like if masquerades invade a church trying to convert the members into tradition.

Like I always say it's Religion that is causing problem in this world.

Lemme pause here and see your own view or opinion about this.

Christians have a mandate, a command from GOD - the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST - "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15

Note the principle in Ezekiel 3:17 - 21
"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul."

Note what happened to Jonah when he tried to avoid preaching to the Ninevites... note how they repented after they heard GOD's word through Jonah! - Jonah chapters 1-3!

Having stated all this... if people express their lack of interest in your message, once you have told them, you don't have to harass anyone...

Indeed....

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." - Matthew 7:6

"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." - Mark 6:11 (Also Luke 9:5)

iykbethany:
According to the bible, God can see the end from the beginning. Does it mean He already knew we would be black people born in a shit hole country and that buhari would be our president and that we will see shege?

And he's so cool with all of these? He even watches Boko haram and kidnappers kill innocent people and He can't defend us as our father.

Oh I forgot, the bible say we should be olodo and shouldn't reason like humans. Its alright �

Rather thank and praise GOD for making it possible for many over the course of history to be reconciled back to Himself, at great expense to Himself in the Person of the Lord YESHUA, THE CHRIST - to live eternally in HIS presence!

"For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now" - Romans 8:22

This world and all its troubles are temporary and passing away...

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." - Isaiah 65:17


"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." - Romans 8:18

MRIDOBOLO:
I want to use this opportunity to appeal to any kind hearted person here especially Christians to help me with a small sized copy of the NKJV of the Bible, either used or new. I need the small size I can easily use for house to house evangelism. I currently do not have the means to acquire one myself. God bless you richly.

Hating the GOD Who is truly good (Luke 18:19), the GOD Who Is Love?

"See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me." - Deuteronomy 32:39-41

"But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death." - Proverbs 8:36

"He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." - 1 John 4:8

bizzibodi:
*IS IT A SIN?*

A religious sister got pregnant and the religious leaders decided to discipline her since she was not married.

When the elders met and interviewed her, she told them that she has stayed and remained single for several years and no one is marrying her and she is approaching the age of menopause where she can't get pregnant even if married.

So after reading some religious medical journals on this issues, she decided and did artificial insemination since she too wants a child. She tendered both the medical journals and the medical documents that showed that she has done the artificial insemination from a reputable hospital.

The Sister is pregnant without committing fornication nor adultery with any man.

*NOW, COULD THIS BE A SIN?*

Kindly give your reasons for your answer and if possible back it with Scripture, so that we can learn. You may wish to send to other religious groups and see their position on the matter.
What's your position?

Yungmil:
People are born into different family, religion, tribe and culture. I see some families with both Christians and Muslim in it.

My question now is that people who are born into a family of Islam, Hindu, Judaism, paganism and whatever, does it mean they can't make heaven.

Because I know I am a Christian basically because I was born into a Christian home, and I find it difficult to convert to any other religion no matter the amount of preaching, same goes to those born into Islam Hindu and the rest.

Please I need scholars in the house for more clarification.

friend... consider this... what was Abram (Abraham) before the Lord GOD Almighty saved and called him out of Ur of the Chaldees (current day Iraq - Genesis 11:31, Genesis 12:1) to be the progenitor of the nation of Israel and a father of faith for all (all humanity thereafter) who come to trust and believe in the saving work of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST!

"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." - John 8:56-58

The point is that GOD can save and has saved people of various backgrounds as the Holy Bible has shown (consider Rahab of Jericho, Ruth the Moabitess, the Roman centurion/s, the Ethiopian eunuch, etc, etc, etc...)

GOD gives people the faith to believe in HIM / CHRIST unto salvation... clothing them with HIS righteousness - from the beginning to the end of world!

"For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy." - Romans 9:15-16

Jashub:
There are many Gods, but which one in particular and how do we know that the one you worship is the true one ?

Is this not a silly question that has since been settled by GOD's revelation over the course of history??

"Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." - Isaiah 44:6 (Isaiah 45:5, Isaiah 45:21)

"For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens." -1 Chronicles 16:26

Shouldn't one be more advanced that this perception?

"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." - James 2:19

Mutant001:
.... If CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS start preaching a hell and heaven then we don't have GENUINE converts....you are only pretending to be good because you want to go to heaven and that doesn't mark the idea of the supreme verdict but all are human ideology to control and govern humans

IGNORANCE AND SUPERSTITION ARE THE ONLY TRUE MISFORTUNES

Yet, the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST, the Son of GOD, the LOGOS, the WORD Who became flesh declares...

"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me." - John 6:38

"And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." - John 3:13 (also John 6:51)

"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 25:41

"There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out." - Luke 13:28

"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


... so where do you come from?? What do you declare that carries any weight??

Believe the good news of the Gospel of CHRIST, by the grace of GOD, and be saved!

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." -John 3:17-19

"The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" - Matthew 16:1-3

These sorts of articles and events are a reminder that because of sin (Genesis 6:5-7) Almighty GOD righteously destroyed this planet once, with the exception of eight ( 8 ) people whom He saved by HIS mercies (1 Peter 3:20, 2 Peter 2:5).

"And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh." - Genesis 9:12-15

GOD's word declares another destruction at the end of the age...

"But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." - 2 Peter 3:7

... and a new creation...

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." - Isaiah 65:17

Have you come to know the loving mercies of GOD by His grace? Read the Holy Bible with frequency (Acts 17:11) and "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17)... before one dies in the flesh (Hebrews 9:27)... it is still the day of salvation only through the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST! (Acts 4:12)

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

MrPresident1:
Christians and Muslims, listen to me, the Holy books Bible and Quran are not talking about the resurrection of physically dead, decayed or decomposing bodies in the grave, they are talking about the resurrection of the living but dead, the spiritually dead people, the people disconnected from God; The Negroes. The holy books are telling us that they will rise again, they will resurrect from the dead.

Quran 36:51
“And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e. the second blowing) and behold! From the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.”

John 5:28-29
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Quran 39:68
“And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom God wills.”

Did Adam and Eve die physically immediately they ate the fruit? NO. But they died spiritually. They lost the presence of God and became spiritually empty and naked. As a result of the loss of God, they devolved into beasts. This is the torment of the grave. Negroes, Nigerians, we are all in the grave, we are a devolved people and seeking the face of The Most High God alone is the ONLY way we will ever be free from slavery and the torment of the grave.

Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

All the travails of the Negroes is what the Bible calls ‘the tribulations’, and the Quran calls the ‘Torment of the grave’

Ezekiel 37:13
And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

Genuine repentance is key at this point so you do not resurrect into damnation. A word is enough for the wise and he that has an ear, let him hear.

We all need to wake up. Time is up!!!

The point of your message is well noted... however it is even more important to note that:

The only Holy ONE through Whom mankind can escape damnation and the lake of fire at the end of the age - is the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST!

"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

"Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:54

"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

"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." - 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

OpenYourEyes1:
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? 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 6:9-10

"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;" - Ephesians 5:3

saladinnoir:


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

The Trinity is not a biblical teaching.

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

KiNg0G:
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?

I'm confused

First and foremost...

"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

Praise GOD that in the course of time and history that HE mercifully saves many through Himself in the Person of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST... who will all dwell with HIM in the new Heavens and the new Earth at the end of this age!

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind" - Isaiah 65:17

"For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain." - Isaiah 66:22 (2 Peter 3:13)

"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

"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." - Psalm 110:1

"And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly." - Mark 12:35-37 (Acts 2:34, Hebrews 1:13)

"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him." - Psalm 2:12
