What miracle(s) are you expecting from God this 2007

Please share what you are earnestly expecting God to do for you this 2007.I have a lot of expectations but foremost on my list is that my brother would become a born again Christian this year.And my second expectation is to be totally debt free this year 2007.Looks impossible with mortgages and all but I've seen God do things that were impossible.Mat 21:21 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. Mat 21:22 "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." [/color][color=#990000][color=#990000][/color]

What Is The "Other Religions'" Position On Capital Punishment?

What is the "Other Religions'" position on capital punishment? And what crimes/offenses are punishable with the capital punishment?

But in Is"lam, if the sharia is practiced, properly, there should be a proper judicial process. What is so interesting is this, even it there is an overwhelming evidence against the accuser, but if the accuser were to invoke the curse of God on himself if he lies about his innicence, he should be allowed to go free for the matter to be between he and God alone. Only God can settle all affairs, truly!

Trinity. . .the Cross Road Between Politics And Religion

The Torah, The Talmud, The Quran and The Hadith all proclaim the Oneness of God. It is only The Bible that says God is a trine - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.It is good to point out that what we call Bible today should more appropriately be referred to as The Gospel. The transformation from Gospel to Bible occurred with the evolution and expansion of the different political regimes in Europe.In its origin, The Gospel was written in semitic tongue. The Romans, were exporting their culture, arts and languages (Greek and Latin) and with that The Gospel was taken from its Semitic origin and translated into Latin and Greek. As the different provinces of The Empire became autonomous, The Gospel was again transformed and exported in a new tongue across the Globe.Both Torah and Quran has remained in their original tongues. . . but not The Gospel.The Torah spoke of the coming of Jesus. The Quran spoke of his birth, his miracles and asserts that he will come back for the rapture. Neither accepts that he is God and both resoundingly bear testimony to the Oneness of God, with no associations whatsoever. Can anyone explain where in The Gospel (Semitic version) is the TRINITY of GOD written?

@nopuqeater.I can't say I understand what you want to read,but real christians don't do the ostrich style;we subject everything to scrutiny;hence we put anything in christianity to debate.to verify its authenticity.We want to separate religion from politics.

Forvivness After Immoral Behavior

Is it possible to be forgiven when you have committed immoral acts, but cant help feeling you want to continue doing so

Forgiveness is in EXCESS for you sweet heart!That's the sweetness of the Holy Spirit. Remeber we say: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, " because He came to show us this grace of God. However, now that He's gone to heaven, there is One that answers to His Name, and that's the Holy Spirit. ("And the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father shall send IN MY NAME, ". So He (The Holy Ghost) administrates the grace of the Lord Jesus. And here's what He's laid down so far.Have you ever noticed that after the Holy Spirit came to the earth, the bible in the new testament never said to "ASK" for forgiveness!?What the bible says is collect it (King James Version says ". . .obtain mercy. . .", because He's got excesses of it flowing toward YOU alone, talk more of the whole world.So there's more than enough for every sin you've committed, every sin you may be committing and every sin you may ever commit.Does that mean we should sin on, so this grace may abound!? Paul (in Romans 6:15) said "God forbid!" And then I want you to read the rest of that book and get the picture for yourself on what is sin.The bible specifically defines in Romans 14:23 what sin is!

Getting Closer

can some one help tell me what one can do to be saved and closer to God.

oh and you get closer to God (just like you get close to any person) by spending time with Him, by spending time in prayer, by studying the scriptures which teaches who God is. The bible is basically God's letter to us, we get to know Him by reading about Him in it. It tells what what God loves and what He hates, what He asks of you and the blessings He's given to you.

Noetic2 Explains Why Genesis Is More Credible Than Science

@ NoeticI do not believe that my good/fate is dependent on an unseen order (God, Allah, whateva). I do not adhere to a religion because my life does not involve any practices that are believed to affect or be related to an unseen order.I'm not an atheist because I do not deny the possibility of a cause to the existence of the universe. If that is what U call "God", then I do not deny the possibility of such to exist. Can u please make sense of the Genesis creation story in light of modern science?If u deny evolution as a plausible explanation for human existence, a more plausible one than creationism as described in Genesis, why?noetic2:please open a new thread. . . . I will gladly oblige.thank you

do you understand the bible you are always trying to defend what do you know about it? what do you understand about science? Idiot. . . . The day i see you make a cerebral contribution to a thread aside from snide remarks and insults . . . hell will freeze over.

Paying Of Tithes In Churches Today

Most christians always believe that some things in the old testament are old and that Christ has come to modify things. In other words they believe more in the new testament teachings. Like the issue of divorce, marrying more than one wife etc. These issues were never supported in the new testament rather they were condemned. And the Apostles in the new testament also made us to understand that we were no longer living under the law. My question is that, was paying of tithe not part of the law then?? Why do some christians still believe in paying tithes till today?? Did christ and his disciples support the paying of tithes since they were not living under the law??

Pilgrim and TV01,I am really suprised that both of you keep insulting each other explicitly and atimes surreptitiously. If you guys are actaully sharing as both of you claim, then the posting and rejoinders will remain objective and devoid of verbal innuendoes. That is certainly not the case. Equally if your intension is for a scholary exposition of tithing and NT teachings, I am afraid this is not the correct platform. That can be achieved by writing up a scholarly article on your persuations and submit to a scholarly theological journal for peer review or alternatively you can enrol for a PhD, write up your persuations as a PhD thesis and defend it. Your exchanges shows that the communication is a monologue, not a dialogue. Each of you marshal out his or her thesis without reading the clearly stated anti-thesis of the other. Both of you are diametrically opposed in your views of tithing and NT teachings that it is futile in my opinion for these exchanges. Pilgrim will not change her persuations neither will TV01. What then is the purpose of these exchanges. I wonder!

Can Man Make God 'change His Mind'?

Numbers 23:19 explicitly states that God can neither lie nor change His mind.In 2Kings, God categorically told Hezekiah that He was going to die. However, Hezekiah prayed to God and God 'changed His mind' and gave Hezekiah 15 more years. Considering that it was during this 'extra time' that Hezekiah produced his heir Mannaseh [the worst King in the History of Judah] and entertained the babylonians [resulting in Gods resentment], why did God 'change His mind'? was this not contrary to Numbers 23:19? help me out here.

Hi lafile,The scenario in 2 Kings 20 and the scripture in Numbers 23 aren't the same at all. The word REPENT in Numbers 23 means: to be sorry, console oneself, repent, regret, comfort, be comforted On the other hand, God only informed Hezekiah what will happen to me from the sickness. It wasn't that God condemned him to die. Hezekiah did what he knew to do, Pray. God answered his prayer, healed him and ensure that he lived for another 15 years. This is my understanding of both scriptures and they do not appear to be intertwined at all.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only SON, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)Adam, the first man sinned and since then man was conceived in sin, so it is the nature of man to want to live in sin, that is how John 3:16 came about. That is why the Bible says if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse us from every unrighteousness. Remember we are not saved by good works but by Grace through Faith. It is not for us to judge who a true Christian is, that is the prerogative of God to determine.

there are some things i have observed from the pentecostals doctrine and io would want to analyse some of them,and i would appreciate sincere contributions. 1.which is genuine in baptism,infant baptism or water immersion and would also want to know the differences.2.some churches dont pierce the ear of their female kids and those that pierce dont wear ear rings including the adult ones,so i want to know if its wrong to wear ear rings or not and scriptures to support its usage or not.3.In some churches they use on-speaker to disturb others while in a passage in the bible is said that one should not disturbs another with your prayers,so what do you think is causing this?4.Is it right to drop money on the alter when a sermon is going on? and scripture to support,because the pentecostals are found of doing this alot.5.why is it that that General Overseers dont use thesame microphone with other pastors,this also happens alot in pentecostals.All these are just some of what i have observed in the pentecostal churches.I was born into the Christ Apostolic Church,and their services were real good and ok,but now they are already following the path of the pentecostals.pls your candid contribution is welcomed.

When a Pastor Uses 'Gods Money' For a Life of Luxury

As many of you will probably be attending church tomorrow, I myself will not.But i'm curious, when the pastor asks for collection to help him do 'the Lord's work' and then you see him leave the church grounds in a large luxury car...and then drive on to his large luxurious home does that make you feel a tad bit silly? uncomfortable evenJust curious, because i can remember going to church in Calabar (5 years or so ago) and the minister had people dancing to the altar so as to give to 'God'...this happened several times during the service...

Fine, Start praying for them.

Do You Carry Amulets?

I bet no one will agree in affirmative, Seriously, I know of this lady who sends money home to have her mother sacrifice goats for her. It is one of those difficult to let go traditional systems we have, especially in Yorubaland. But how far can these sacrifices and "charms" advance a life here in the United States? Wouldn't it be interesting to take a little "like" potion before going for the job interview so the moment they set eyes on you, they are hooked and give you the job even without an interview?Do you carry any amulets, religious or otherwise? Do you believe it brought your destiny to pass?

You will then realise that no muslim thinks that Tesbi'u is important to religion or worship.That's not true as I've yet to see one who doesnt use it.

I Pray That Obasanjo Should Be Allowed The Third Time

First, Most of us would pray that he leaves but let us take off sentiment, political, religion or otherwise. I believe that pale is doing a great job, Nigerians can walk with their heads up and shoulder high because the looters are now running for their lives because EFCC will soon catch up with them. If Obasanjo leaves now I know somebody somewhere would eventually take ribadu down. Pls what we should do as Nigerias is to PRAY that he's allowed the third time.

First congrats on your b/day! Thanks! As for the 'blooper', I understand perfectly, and there really isn't any need to apologize for it. It happens to everyone, I believe. Cheers.

Does a believer ever become affected by mental illness? What is the cure for mental illness considering that modern medicines and chemicals are used only present day theories to cure it?

A believer could get sick with anything.But a Christian CAN NOT!!!What's the difference?A muslim can be called a believer because he believes Jesus died and was raised and will still not be a christian;but a christian does that and more; he confesses The Lordship of Jesus.And a life and body where Jesus is Lord can't get sick!

How Can God Help Heal A Broken Heart?

No matter how much love I've got for my boyfriend/ex, the level of pain he has caused me is three much after everything. Deep down in my heart, I know i should forgive to move on easily but I don't think I can forgive him without placing a curse on him, for him to feel 10times the pain he has caused me.

I know it's not easy because I just experienced a heart break. She said she loves some1 else.I want you to know that things happen for a reason. Better things are ahead.And for your question,God sure heals a broken heart. Just keep praying about it.Commit and dedicate your yourself totally to Him and He'll give you your heart desires.

Why Are You All Afraid Of Accepting Christ?

Is it because believing bullshit is spooky. Spooky, like a ghost.

. . . Or is it rather because, as Jesus Himself said: "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. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." - John 3:18-21.

God Fearing People

i have a problem of always wanting to have only God fearing and in the process end up being very lonely because most people around are far from God and do not want to be informed about God.pls i would like your opinion on this issue.

Well, is a thing of making a decision. If truly in your heart you want to Fear God (i.e keeping his commandments) you can take the decision regardless of the witches and wizards around you; you know why? Because you are the light of the world, darkness cannot over come you.But mark my word, is a thing of taking a decision and work towards it like one who has a goal and really want to achieve it.

Do you have any empirical evidence to support the idea that God indeed does not existThere's nothing to be tested, viewed or experienced objectively in anyway.and that atoms indeed do exist?Yes.Thou art ensnared by the words of thy mouth.

A Brilliant Answer

[b]There was a religious lady that had to do a lot of traveling for her business, so naturally she did a lot of flying. Flying made her extremely nervous, so she always took her Bible along with her to read since it helped relax her on the long flights.One time, she was sitting next to a man. When he saw her pull out her Bible, he gave a little chuckle, smirked and went back to what he was doing. After a while, he turned to her and asked, "You don't really believe all that stuff in there do you?"The lady replied, "Of course I do. It is the Bible."He said, "Well, what about the guy that was swallowed by the whale?"She replied, "Oh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that, it is in the Bible."He asked, "Well, how do you suppose he survived all that time inside the whale?"The lady said, "Well, I don't really know. I guess when I get to heaven, I will ask him.""What if he isn't in heaven?" the man asked sarcastically."Then you can ask him," replied the lady.[/b]

Did the Fish story really happen as described in the Bible or is this just another deep prophetic message that has been widely misunderstood and clearly mis-interpreted Have some more lager . . . . . a bit more more. . . . . . and a wee more . . . . . Is the Jonah story any more clearer or are you still in doubt?

The Da Vinci Story Or The Bible Story

I saw the movie, i read the book, and so i understand everything they are trying to pass accross up to its minutest detail. but can it be true? anyone who has read the book, or better still,seen the movie THE DA VINCI CODE will not find what i have afore said strange. The writer of the book Dan Brown along with a teeming number of scientists, reserachers, archiologists, and all what not would have us believe that Jesus was indeed married to mary magdalini and the begat a daughter , and mary fled to paris and her descendants birthed the merovingian dynasty and the blood line continued like that. They also tried to prove that history as the church would have it,and as it is in the bible,(including all the miracles of Jesus) was as a result of resolutions reached at the council of Nicea presided over by the Emperor Constantine who was in fact a pagan who only wanted to unite the then Roman Empire under one religion. These claims were substantiated by the support rendered it by the paintings of the renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci. one of these is the painting of the last supper where he painted a female figure, supposedly mary magdalini, on the left hand side of Jesus at the table. one is then forced to ask the question , Could all these be true? for someone with the kind of background i,and indeed a substantial number of us have, have, it would be considered an abberation to believe in such things, but with a plethora of facts such as those presented by these historians, what would/should the rational mind hold true?

I love the book! It's fiction and a good reading. No need to get twisted up if you have faith in your belief. i agree wt u on dat one.

These claims were substantiated by the support rendered it by the paintings of the renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci. one of these is the painting of the last supper where he painted a female figure, supposedly mary magdalini, on the left hand side of Jesus at the table. one is then forced to ask the question , Could all these be true? for someone with the kind of background i,and indeed a substantial number of us have, have, it would be considered an abberation to believe in such things, but with a plethora of facts such as those presented by these historians, what would/should the rational mind hold true?<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>I love the book!

What Is The "error Of The Lawless"?

2Pe 3:15 And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation (as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him 2Pe 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction). 2Pe 3:17 Therefore, beloved, knowing beforehand, beware lest being led away with the error of the lawless, you fall from your own steadfastness.

The expression "error of the lawless" seems to suggest people who operate without principles, or standards, and are prepared to go with anything as long as it suits them fine. What prevailed in Peter's time is also prevailing in our time where there are no boundaries for what is considered right or wrong anymore. Peter warns us not to make the same mistake, or error of developing the same thought pattern which will result in the same set of lawlessness. He knew that there were weak christians who needed to be on their guard. There is no worse a person than one who has turned his back on principle. Christians who once professed Christ and have turned back to worldy principles are usually worse than those who never made a profession.

Where Shall I Go?!

I am practically weeping, drepressed as I type this. God knows I love and will want to worship him but everywhere I go, churches are so much concerned by taking money from members by whatever name called. I see pastors who are more interested in propagating doctrines, as long as those doctrines involve tithe, tithing, first fruits and all whats not. My understanding of the Bible is that God said we are no longer under the old covenant but under a new one. A covenant where followers are encouraged to give freely rather than with compulsion. These days, what pastors do is to scare followers. Fear of the "devourer" is what makes people pay tithe, rather than a genuine love for God. Where is the true Church of Christ?! I want to serve God, but I can't stand hypocrisy doctrines of men. Ironically I spoke with like 10 friends who agreed with my point of view. They all said they go to the churches of their choice because all pentecostal churches preaches the same doctrines. No difference. Its all about tithe and pastor worship. I expect to get flakes, abuses and even curses but those that will help are those who can point me to the true church. All readers of this thread have a responsibility of ensuring I don't end up in hell fire. Please point me to the right church, the one with the right doctrines. Gospel of salvation and sanctification and not undue emphasis on materialism. I'm counting on you and God is counting on you too.

Church is business in Nigeria thats the reason why all those church pastors are only interested in the tithes. And what do they do with it? It dosen't go back to help the poor it goes to enrich themselves or build more churches. Thats why your finding it hard to a genuine Church. All our leaders are thieves whether they be Politician or Pastor they'll all the same to me.

Strictly For Catholics

I know that saints in heaven can interceed for people on earth but I didnt practice it until recently. I needed a favor from God and seeing myself as unworthy of reaching God myself I called on the St. Anthony of Padua, St. Jude Thaddeus and St. Therese of the Child Jesus and I cant express to you how they saw me through. Let me give you an expo: if you are asking anything from God and it is had to come by, just call on our Mother Mary and then some saints to interceed for you and you will be suprised. Another thing, treat every begger you see with love. You wont know how important they are until you start looking for them may be to fulfil your paomise to the saints. It happened to me. More stories on the way. Just keep praying and trusting God just as a little girl trusts her dad.

@Catholics,A person who has the genuine desire to serve and obey the laws of God must follow the truth even when it is unpalatable. Pilgrim 1 atimes mixes the subtance with unneccesary outbursts in her postings but the substance of what she posts in most cases is correct. My advice is that catholics should consider the substance of her posts and do not sweep them under the carpet or try to paint her as a hater of the catholic faith. Her contributions (without her unnecessary outbursts) is the best friend catholics can have on this forum. It challenges catholics to look at their faith and determine whether or not some of its teachings are contradictory to the laws of God. A humble man will always follow the truth even when the truth tears apart his or her most cherished beliefs. The kernel of Pilgrim 1 contribution is that Mariolatory contradicts the commandments of God and she is absolutely right.

Catholics and Muslims: Is There Any Link?

I've often wondered why the striking similarities between catholics and muslims. For instance they both use chaplets, are strongly bonded together and they have dedicated classes for teaching their children up to adulthood. Hmm beats me. Is there any link between the two?

Pope Called Son Of God: Blasphemy?

the writing on the pope's mitre says " vicarius fili dei " meaning " the son of God" please the only Son of God i know is Jesus the Christ then why is this fella impersonating God? Blasphemy i think!

@babaearly,According to the infallible word of God i.e The Bible; EVERY Bible believing, Born-again Christian, who is Saved by the Grace of God through Faith only in Jesus Christ(Acts 4:12), is a Son of the Living God.God said so Himself in Matthew, and also through the Apostles in Romans, Hebrews, Galatians, etc.Therefore, I can boldly say I am a Son of God! because I am a Bible believing, born again Christian, and I believe that my salvation is not of works, but by the Grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, the first Son of God who is my Lord and Saviour.If the Pope can say that of himself, then he is also a Son of God. However, Sonship of God is NOT in the title you have, or position you occupy (e.g Bishop, Pope, Pastor, Evangelist or Head Usher, Area Pastor, etc), it is through personal faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross as atonement for sin, and in ressurection of Jesus Christ.In other words, Sonship is about the personal relationship with God, and not in title or tradition. Peace!

The Rhapsody Of Realities Study Bible. Revelations 22:18-19. Adding And Removing

I know there are various versions of the Bible all over the place with slight differences and others even with more obvious differences between them.Having personally read the Bible myself, I came across the verses at the tail end of the Bible were are stern warning was issued to all as regards modifications made to God's message to mankind.Why then are we having all these different Bibles.I believe for anyone to re-write the Bible, they must have read the Bible and seen the verses where God mentions that they leave his word just the way It is.I heard of this Bible By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (PhD) much earlier but refused to agree to it. However, I was completely disillusioned when I saw the man clad in academic regalia presenting this book to his followers in celebration. He also mentioned other ADDITIONAL books that he had included in his own version of the Bible.I just want to know if this is okay and I'm just the only one making a mountain of a molehill.

The clown's book is more appropriately called "rhapsody of unrealities".Or the book of "holy business promotion"

Dominion Over Sin

Sin always loved to rule over man. From the fall of Adam.Genesis 4:77.If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee[ shall be] his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. God already given man hope from beginning "and thou shalt rule over him" other translations didn't use the word "and" the use "but" you shall reign over him(sin)It was difficult though for man to rule over sin , But when Christ came to give us dominion over sin. Romans 6:1414 For sin shall not have dominion over you: In this thread , I want to look at sin.What is sin,Why do people sin,Must we sin? Can one stop ? Can a Christian sin? Does God punish us for sin?, To be continued,

^^^ "until Jesus came", indeed! So why has man still not overcome this "sin" of a thing after the arrival of jesus. What was the positive effect of his arrival, exactly? Forget not that the gravity was beaten with the advent of aerodynamics.Seems like the arrival of jesus was totally ineffective, a complete failure going by how much more mankind has been sinning, including the socalled christians.You guys should just keep your opinions to yourself if you do not have solid informations on how to stop sinning. All these useless preachings are as worthless as an icebox in the antarctic.if you had read the blog,u wdnt be asking these questions. read it first then if u have more questions, but u sound like some1 that does not have the mind to learn wisdom.Nothing i say will benefit u if yr mind is already made up

Nigerian Churches And Dress Code

Nigerian churches especially the Roman catholic church has this habit of disallowing visitors that are not properly dressed into their church. Many women are embarrassed daily in these churches because part of their boobs are showing or their dress is too short. Some will even stop you if you are wearing pants.Question:Are these churches allowed by God to do these things when Christ clearly said " come to me as you are"? Is it Christlike to turn around a soul that has a thirst for accepting Christ over what he/she is wearing? Jesus also asked us not to judge and that the outward is not what God is looking at,rather He's more interested in what's inside of you. What if the person decide not to accept Christ again over that inhuman treatment?

If a church doesn't want you because of your dress, either change the way you dress or go to another gathering where you are accepted.If you are so convinced that you should be a part of them, that conviction should make you accept their conditions.It would depend on why they dont want skimpily clad women in their gathering. Maybe they think these women are capable of derailing their men. . .I dont know.

Before You Complain!

Only few remember what life was before, and who had always been there in the most painful situations.Today before you think of saying an unkind word,Think of someone who can't speak. Before you complain about the taste of your food,Think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about your husband or wife,Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion. Today before you complain about life,Think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before you complain about your children,Think of someone who desires children but is barren. Before you argue about your dirty house that someone didn't clean or sweep,Think of people who are living in the streets. Before whining about the distance you drive,Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. And when you are tired and complain about your job,Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another.Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one maker. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down,Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Mrmayor, any comments!? Yes Sir, I do have a comment. Mr Wales has no opinion of his own,all he does is to copy whatever takes his fancy and then post it here.@Wales,Nice thread but were is the original link? This is actually your best post Now clap for yourself.

What Do you Think About long period of Courtship?

I don't really believe in long period of courtship, I think courtship should be kept as short as possible before marriage. This is because of the so many things that use to be wrong but are now "turning" right. In order to avoid pre marital sex, I think courstship should not be too long for wild thought to start lurking on the mind of the couple. or what do you guys think??

okay thanks for ur contribution

Why Do People Try To Impose Their Beliefs On Others?

What are the psychological reasons behind this phenomenon? Why is it so important to have somebody else believe in what i believe in? Any thoughts?

Because it give you a sense of security in numbers, and it helps reinforce your beliefs. It is ego soothing to be able to convince other to abandon their beliefs and follow yours. Then there is the sense of arrogance at being more knowledgeable and special than others.Could there also be a fear factor playing in the background here as well? The fear that one might be backing the wrong horse? The insecurity of not being sure of one's mental position or ideological beliefs?

Has Pastor Chris And Prophet T.b Stopped Healing And Miracles?

it seems our dear pastors have stopped their controver5sial healing and miracle ministries, while one has devoted his tv time to preaching in the best of english, the other has devoted his to helping the orphans, hmnn

I think he is also not very much acquinted with satelite TV because miracles are actually daily occurences with these ministries.I think it is a question of God taking his manifested presence and power to where he chooses.

Woman Dies During Deliverance

I keep wondering what our churches are turning into. Two weeks ago a woman died in an undisclosed church during a deliverance session. The woman's husband got the Pastor arrested.What could have brought about the death of this woman? Could it be that the demons over powered the Pastor and killed the woman or is the Pastor a fake pastor, because never was it heard that someone died during Deliverance.Ur contributions please.

"demons overpowered the pastor", y'all and your superstitions, if she had gone to a hospital she would still be alive, but noooooooooooooooo !!!!! nigerians think its a demon, not symptoms of diabetes etc.

How Many Times Do I Need To Say In Jesus Name While Praying?

Am aware according Jn 14:14 that we should say our prayers through Jesus Christ, But I don't know number of times one should use that it becomes abuse, direspect or hypocrisy or others. Is it supposed to use in Jesus Name as a filler while praying? One man challenged a fellow over leading a closing prayer for about 1 Min and 10 Seconds. Within he used 19 In Jesus name and 12 Father King of Glory. According to the man in every 3 words one In Jesus name and every 4 words one Father King of Glory. Is there anything wrong with that?Am not saying that it is wrong but am seeking you opinion.

Who Is God?

WHO IS GOD?MAN OR WOMAM, ?BLACK OR WHITE,?HAVE U EVER SEE HIM WITH YOUR TWO EYES?I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY CAN SEE HIM KOROKORO?[b][/b]

Who is God?That depends on whose mythology you're using.If you're using the hebreic mythology,then god is YAHWEH or ELOHIM(which is plural,BTW)If it is hindu mythology,then it is VISHNUIf it is arabic mythology,then it is ALLAHAnd it goes on and on, take the version of your choice.If you want to stick with the hebreic mythology - which is largely based on the sumerian/babylonian mythology - then the hebreic deity called Yahweh will be your God.Unless you want to try other versions.Now the ancient astronaut theory says that the beings we human refer to as gods are highly advanced space travellers from another part of the universe(Aliens,for short),and i don't think that any modern human has ever seen them.In the sumerian ancient cuneiform texts written on tablet(s) ,these space travellers were the ANNUNAKIs and their leader is who the hebrews later referred to as their god,yahweh.This is according to the reading of the sumerian tablet by a gentleman scholar called ZACHARIA SITCHIN.

Was Jesus Right To Curse The Fig Tree?

I have to confess I don't read the good book that much but I know enough to question why Jesus cursed the fig tree because it didn't have any fruit.Couldn't he have just walked on?Wasn't that a measure of just a tad imperfectness,after all it wasn't the tree's fault.Scholars pick up your thinking pads. . .

However, I have an alternative reading, which speaks to the fig tree as a metaphor for the Jewish nation, Which from the favoured position god had granted it had descended into empty religion and placed it's security in temple ritual. Notice that the tree withered from the roots up (and was not just barren henceforth).Thanks.That there casts a fresh eye on the whole incident.Exactly what I had hoped to spur.Anbody with any other enlightening post

Why Can We Xtians Say What We Belive?

faith, why is it a hard thing? why is it that christians find it hard to say what they believe, why is it that christians say one thing and do the opposite. why cant we stand on what we believed instead of on circumstances??

The real problem with Christians is that what they do is not in line with what they say they believe. This is why Jesus Himself warned us against: Those who come in his name (Christians) and say that He is the one (Christians).For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.(Mat 24:5)

Italian Nun Slain In Mogadishu - Asks God To Forgive Her Killers

Pope tribute to slain Italian nun The pope said Sister Sgorbati died with forgiveness on her lips Pope Benedict XVI has paid tribute to an Italian nun killed in Somalia who is reported to have forgiven her attackers as she lay dying. Sister Leonella Sgorbati was attacked, along with her bodyguard, outside the hospital in Mogadishu where she worked. Some suspect the shooting was connected to recent remarks by the Pope which caused anger across the Islamic world. Pope Benedict spoke ahead of Monday's planned meeting with ambassadors from predominantly Muslim countries. He said her sacrifice was the most authentic type of Christian testimony, which showed "the victory of love over hate and evil". "This nun, who served the poor and children in Somalia for many years, died with the word 'forgiveness' on her lips," the Pope told pilgrims and tourists during his Sunday address at his summer villa at Castelgandolfo near Rome. Moral: That is real christianity on display in the face of irrational/wicked/cruel and evil people. God bless Africa and the blood of the saints will not be shed in vain as Africa is for Jesus!!

Islam have destroyed Somalia, that is why the country is riddled with violence. Where are other Islamic countries ? They are the ones who should be helping Somalia with humanitarian issues. Instead they are neglected to their fate by their Islamic brothers and sisters. Which goes a long way to show that nothing good comes from Muhammedan Islam.I pray God should forgive her killers because she is talking care of them.

Incest - Moral Or Immoral?

The question of the legality (or marality) of incest arose in a separate thread and I thought this was interesting a subject on its own merit to warrant its own thread.On the aforementioned thread, the point was being debated that some countries have incest outlawed while in others, the laws have been changed recent to not explicitly outlaw it [incest]. I asked the questions;1) Why is incest illegal or immoral?2) Whose rights or property(ies) does incest violates?What do you think?

Immoral for most,but the only way for some few exalted ones.

How Can Someone Know When He/she Is Possessed?

I had a funny experience recently and I've bn pondering over many questions. Can someone help me plz?Does evil spirit or witchcraft really exist?Plz I want to know how somebody will know when he/she is possessed or under the influence of any form of evil spirit or curse. The signs and convinctions as well as the necessary action to take. I need sincere answers from experienced pple or men of God.

[s]1. Seek help from God's Word: demon spirits demonstrate a strong aversion to God's Word. 2. Seek God's help in true repentance: demon spirits operate mainly through rebellion, and repentance demolishes their authority over a person's life. 3. Seek God's help through fellowship and prayer with truly anointed men and women of God: please read Matthew 18:18-19 to understand the power available to believers.[/s]Go and see a doctor (medical one)One can easily see where your delusion leads you into.Guess you are back from selling your Agege Bread and Akara on the streets of London.Since when did a medical doctor become certified to diagnose and treat those with demon possession?Do you actually know anything apart from selling your Agege Bread and Akara

Will Of God In Marriage

In the christiandom, the issue of knowing the will of God precisely in the area of choosing life partner is a critical issue. Now is the will of God really important in choosing your right partner and if Yes how do u go about it, i mean do u have to contact prophets with names of ur intending partners or rather your own personal convinction

lets stop transfering responsibilty of our salvation to other people besides ourselves.salvation is very personal so lets know that we are on our own and no pastor, prophet or family member can help us when the time comes.marriage as they say is made in heaven. but what do we see these days, people are now looking only at externals before they get married. others feel its only someone who is good in bed that they can marry.let me say this, these unions dey call marriage are far from being marriage. in fact those people are committing adultary every day of their lives.live accordingly and the person made for u will come to u. u don't need to go a prophet to get a husband or wife. lets get married because we want to add value to the other person's life both physically and spiritually.if there is no harmony in a marriage then its not marriage. any marriage that ends in divorce is never marriaage in the first place, lets open our eyeslook for the person whose qualities complement your own thats all.also be very prayerful.if you need a perfect wife then be the perfect husbandfinito

All Sins Are Equal?

When God said this, i don't mean he meant a sin like killing somebody and stealing a sweet are the same. I think he meant it in terms of both sins are disobeying him regardless of how big, or small, its still a disobedience. Share your views!

Look, If a man steals a sweet and another commits adultery, When Judgment come, they will all face the same consiquencies.Under the Mosaic Law -Exo. 20:14 >Thou shalt not commit adultery. Exo 20:15 >Thou shalt not steal. StealingExo. 22:1, 4 >If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. . . If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.Committing AdulteryLev. 20:10 >> And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.In the NT.1 John 5:16-17 >[a]If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. [b]There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy name.Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heavenGive us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen The ChallengeI cannot say OUR if I live only for myself.I Cannot say FATHER if I do not endeavor each day to act like His child.I cannot say WHO ART IN HEAVEN if I am laying up no treasure there.I cannot say HALLOWED BE THY NAME if I am not striving for holiness.I cannot say THY KINGDOM COME if I am not doing all in my power to hasten that wonderful event.I cannot say THY WILL BE DONE if I am disobedient to His word.I cannot say ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN if I will not serve Him here and now.I cannot say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD if I am dishonest or seeking things by subterfuge.I cannot say FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES if I harbor a grudge against anyone.I cannot say LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION if I deliberately place myself in its path.I cannot say DELIVER US FROM EVIL if I do not put on the whole armor of God.I cannot say THINE IS THE KINGDOM if I do not give the King the loyalty due him from a faithful subject.I cannot say THE POWER if I fear what others may do.I cannot say THE GLORY if I am seeking honor only for myself.I cannot say FOREVER if the horizon of my life is bounded by the things of today.

Our father who aren't in heaven, Hollow be thy name. Thy kingdom dead, thy will be read. On earth as if there were a heaven. Give us this day our daily dream and deliver us from reality. For thine is the falsehood, the corruption and the Horror forever and ever Hy-men.

Medical Marijuana -- Is It Sin?

My state of Minnesota just expanded legalized Marijuana for medical reasons. If a Christian was given a doctors real prescription for Marijuana, would smoking it still be a sin?

trini_girl,I have seen someone's prescription Marijuana and it was just like cigarettes. Except in a can. I don't think they only give out pills, although that may not be the case today.

Preaching In The Bus

[size=13pt]I was in a bus one very cool morning when somebody decided to preach. That's OK, at least so I taught initially. I changed my mind when the ordeal was over. This guy's voice is a shrill cry and to make matters worse, he was YELLING! He yelled till he got to his bus stop. Just to make sure we had a full dose of the preaching, fate landed us in a little traffic that seemed to last for ages. When he started people responded but by the time he ended, response disappeared. I'm a Christian, I know he's doing God's work but I must confess it was done in an annoying manner. Just make it brief, straight to the point and don't deafen your audience. Do you sometimes feel disturbed by such things?[/size]

Why Do The "righteous" Worry About "sinners"

Religious beliefs which often shapes human actions has caused a lot of pain and human disaster. Most religion believe that at the end, the righteous will go to "paradise" while sinners and unbelievers will be condenmed to eternal damnation. And this reward for good deeds on earth will be bestowed individually. So, why don't everybody accommodate each other in their chosen way of life knowing that everybody will be judged individually? Or, are the righteous worried that life in paradise wont be worth it without the fun loving "sinners".

So, why don't everybody accommodate each other in their chosen way of life knowing that everybody will be judged individually? Or, are the righteous worried that life in paradise wont be worth it without the fun loving "sinners".A good starting point would be to carefully consider what you mean by everyone's "chosen way of life". You would not want to keep projecting this idea if, for instance, you were asked to consider accommodating those who have "chosen" a way of life to be pedophiles or confirmed hoodlums.Is there a reference point in your concerns?Cheers.

Creation Of The Universe Or Creation Of Man

Which is great, creation of the universe or creation of Man?

Now compare that to the sky, do you see any pillars holding it? The stars (milky way), the moon, planets the Sun. Should the earth move just a centimeter to wards the sun and we all melt and should it pull back just a little from the sun and we all freeze. That's obviously not true, as IIRC, the distance between the Earth and the Sun vary during an Earth year by more than a centimeter.Look up the sky again at night and contemplate on the relativity of time! How we share the same darkness (night) and yet it takes millions of years to travel to the nearest star. How great is HIS creation. Compare yourself with this great and glorious universe, which is full of order and regularity.Could elaborate a little, because I actually don't understand whta you mean.

Islam And Terrorism

Reacting to British award of knighthood to Salman Rushdie, the author of the satanic verses on whose head a fatwa (death sentence) in 1989, was passed by the great islamic cleric, The Religious Affairs Minister of Pakistani said that " If someone commits suicide bombing to protect the honour of the Prophet Mohammed, his act is justified". The minister is said to be a hardliner and the son of Pakistani former president who islamised Pakistan.One begin to wonder the constant call and justification of terrorism in the religion of peace. Do human beings need to fight for their prophets and god? Why the constant call for violence instead of preaching the peace it tend to profess? Many questions yearning for answers,

@All,This is the result of a blinded heart under the cover of man-made deception called Quran al-kariim. Maybe somebody need to tell these ummahs the meaning of sovereignty. UK can decide to confer the knighthood on whom it deems fit, because it is a sovereign nation not under the dictates of the 'blind' ummahs. Who gives a damn if Ahmed Deedat is given the title of "schmuck of Islam" for his ranting against Christianity by Ayatollah Ahmadinajad of Iran?Maybe muslims need to fast forward into 2007 from 1490 or whatever; and stop ranting and throwing temper tantrums like a retarded 3 yr old. No wonder the progressive parts of the world are always spanking these intolerant chaps.Can you imagine, some foolish muguns' try to dictate who another countries gives award to. This allah has really confused them with it's lies propagated by the hedonistic prophet. Get a life, blokes

The Principle Of Ten Percent

what's your opinion about the principle of ten percent must preachers are speaker always lay emphasis on ten percent as one of the criteria for success what do you think?

There is definitely a blessing from giving,sowing or whatever you choose to call it but Christians are not commanded on how much to give.We have received freely and should freely give.The more you sow,of course the more you reap but are you cursed when you refuse to pay tithes?No.We are not under the law.Let everyman be persuaded in his own heart.

Re: Is Humility a Weakness or a Strenth?

People say its weakness that makes one humble, how do u feel about that?

@cute-ass,Lol, it is such a grace to find people disagree with me in some of my views - and I can be thankful for the added insight you offered.However, like I said earlier, it all depends on who is defining what; and in what context they are using the defined concepts.I am persuaded that both humility, strength and weakness are character traits that define people's dispositions. In this sense, humility can be either a weakness or a strength. It all depends on the context in which it is being applied.A humility that excludes boldness in the face of challenges is rather a weakness than a display of strength. For instance, a kindred word ('meekness') is used to describe Moses in Num. 12:3; and for all that, his boldness to face Pharaoh is a rare commodity among many today. I believe that Moses' humility/meekness was a "strength" rather than a weakness.On the other hand, when humility is self-seeking and unresponsive, such a disposition is rather a weakness than strength. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ left us a perfect example of humility in Matt. 11:29. Of course, we read of the boldness that is clearly marked throughout His earthly ministry as He challenged sin, hypocrisy and what today is known as 'political correctness'. For all of that, He was never self-seeking and went out for the good of others.The point is, humility can be viewed either as a weakness of strength by whoever is using the concept.Cheers.

The Hierarchy In The Kingdom Of Heaven

Who is greatest or least in the kingdom of heaven? Does god have some sort of hierarchical system in heaven into which entrant would/are placed? JC does suggest such a system when he alluded to some people being called greatest or least in the kingdom of heaven. If there is such a social stratifcation, how would one be allocation to any given strata? For instance, would Moses be given the same honours as Abraham? Would Paul be honoured in the same manner as Elijah? Try ordering the following in the order in which they deserve honour in heaven; Aaron Moses Joshua Mary (Mother of JC) Job David Ruth Peter James Pope John Paul II
