How safe is the carriage? What is the survival rate and fatality in event of accidents? Have they undergone integrity tests to ascertain it's road worthiness? I hope this is not our very own Boeing 734 killer road-craft on wheels.

Lol... They talk too much nonsense

Gosh. Ihedinobi & Zither, get a room you two ....

We're exactly of the same mind.

Regarding unbelievers, I did say,

"Of course, not all unbelievers head that way. Some do begin to take a more critical, objective look at the house of dreams they have built for themselves and ask if they might not truly be lies."

We were all unbelievers once, after all. Nobody was born a believer. That is a perspective worth hanging on to because once we lose it, we become unbearably arrogant.

In fact, during the Tribulation, not every unbeliever will throw in with Antichrist. Plenty enough of them will refuse to take his mark or join in the persecution of Christians. Not so plenty that it will make a difference though. In fact, such people will be comparatively very few indeed and possibly far between. It is possible to be an indifferent believer. The vast majority of unbelievers today are indifferent about spiritual matters. They don't care what the Truth is. They want to live life on their terms and worry about the consequences later, whenever that may be.

Unfortunately, however nice and non-threatening an unbeliever may be in their indifference, they are not friends to the Truth, so even after living under the perfect conditions of life in the Millennial Earth under the Rule of the Lord Jesus, they will rise up to try to overthrow Him. So, it will never be a good idea to expect much from an unbeliever. One may hope that some dear one may be saved because they are so nice, but unbelief is by definition implacable enmity against God. It is a refusal to give God His Due. The unbeliever accuses God of lying in one way or another even if they never admit such a thing. So, they are not people we should expect much from.

The most important thing to keep in mind about unbelievers, in my thinking, is that as long as they are alive, they may yet repent and believe... Or they may not. So, we ought not to treat them like they could never become part of our family or as though it is absolutely certain that they will be. This is another place where we must be gentle and harmless like doves and very shrewd like snakes.

I just watched episode 16. So, grace also has cicada's power? Interesting. That caught me by surprise. I guess that was her from the future.

The timeline has changed. Cicada no longer has powers. Now grace, his niece, from the future is the new cicada. She's also more badass. How could she have possibly time-travelled?

But for the most part, I believe it is wiser to couch the Gospel in language that allows the hearer to completely ignore it if they please.

sufficient to keep them spiritually safe from such people.

Define delusion

TVSA:
I agree with you Zither. But when you give them a chance out of courtesy, then they pass their boundary. A guy kept coming back to my place just to lure me to his church. I later realised it was their church mandate to win certain number of souls per person to the kingdom.

Ihedinobi3:

Excuse my intrusion, but I thought to use the opportunity to point out a thing or two.

You have a point. I doubt that many evangelists foist their beliefs on anyone. The biblical position is really that the Gospel should only ever be offered to those who want it. So, it does make sense and is to be expected that good evangelists would not throw their faith in other people's faces. It is too precious, after all, to offer to people who have no sense of value for it. In fact, I believe that the gift of evangelist gives believers who possess it and are spiritually mature and tested for ministry a special ability to identify evangelical opportunities.

Personally, I have very little sense of evangelical opportunity. When I was much younger, I was not even aware of such a thing as evangelical opportunity. I'd just walk up to people and start berating them with what I thought they needed to hear. It was what we were taught we should do. As I grew up, I did it less and less. When I eventually began to learn the Bible seriously, I accepted completely for the first time that while, like every other believer, I am responsible to share the gospel with unbelievers willing to hear it, I am not by a long shot any kind of evangelist. It is very hard for me to even find a way in to speak to an unbeliever about the Lord, so I almost never do. My own gift is far more abrasive. If anyone comes to the Lord Jesus as a result of interacting with me, they would be really humble people because I am far more of a protector than a scout. I do lace everything I say with the Gospel but I don't really go out of my way to "preach to the lost".

Unfortunately, not many believers take the Bible seriously enough to know both how these things work or how to handle people like the OP.

TVSA:
I never liked the idea of evangelism even when I was still a believer. It has this arrogant tone, going to people's house to tell them your belief and proclaim judgement on them if they did not agree with you. The worst part was persuading people to follow you to church

IAmSabrina:

What irony?

Sparkle777:
Nonsense and Buhari

According to darwin, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time."

If the above is true, apes should be the most advanced life form after humans . Questions is why are apes not builders instead we have builders from "less advanced" life form like birds, termites, bees, squirrels, grasscutters, etc.

Learn to think for yourselves and stop relying on myths.

I'd like to hear why you think Christianity is the one true religion out of over 4000+ other religions.

Toks2008:
*The eternal truth about salvation the devil does not want you to know.*

I asked a lady friend few days back if she is born again and she struggled with the response she gave but at the end she said "she is not sure".

Whilst speaking to her I perceived a strong cigarette odour oozing out of her mouth and I thought to myself..."She is probably condemning herself and inadvertently denying herself the identity of being a believer in christ.

Her case is not uncommon with many people who do not see themselves as worthy of the status of "a believer in christ or born again"...and the unfortunate reality is that many people are suffering eternally in hell not because they deserve to be there but simply because they were ignorant of the the eternal truth about salvation

Many of them at a time in their lives had vividly given their lives to Jesus but because they found themselves repeating certain sins they gave up their salvation cos they allowed the Devil convince them that they were not good enough for God's kingdom.

Jesus said *"Come UNTO me all that are heavily laden and I will give you rest"(Matthew 11:28-29)*

He also said
*"All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."(John 6:37)*

Another scripture clearly states in 1 John 2:1–2 
*"My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."*

And to cap all these, the bible made it very clear in Romans 8,38-39 that *"Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."* Hallelujah!

So brother's and sisters,once you accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour,you are heaven bound and you have no business with HELL anymore...

I don't know the sins in your life or the bad habits that are making you feel unworthy... *no matter the sin or habit Jesus says come to me and I will give you rest*...even after you have come to him and you still find yourself committing same sins or even worse just know that Jesus will never drive you away and no sin can seperate you from Jesus.

All you need is a willing heart,a heart that sincerely wants to live for Jesus and the only person who can help you leave any kind of sin is Jesus.

*You must understand that no matter how hard you try,you can not overcome sins by your effort so rather than give up your salvation or find yourself unfit to be born again,I admonish you to come to Jesus as you are and ask the Holy spirit to help you live a life JESUS will be proud of and you will be amazed that you will hate those sins that you thought you could never do away with.*

*Just remember that no matter how many times you fall,Jesus is ever ready to accept you and if the spirit of GOD truly dwells in you,committing sins will not be pleasurable to you.*

But no matter how hard you struggle with sins in your life,DON'T EVER GIVE UP YOUR SALVATION.

*GOD BLESS YOU AND SHARE THIS FOR OTHERS TO SEE AND BE LIBERATED FROM SELF CONDEMNATION.*
