nicodemus never knew that a man will be born again before he enters the kingdom of God yet abraham, elijah and so on went to heaven even before jesus came.

Wrestling words with you would be demeaning. It is clearly written, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of GOD" (1Corinthians 1:18).

I'd advise you thus, "...choose you this day whom ye will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15). Shalom!

At least there are religious universities. And the black man was educated. by mission schools built by Christian missionaries.

Touting the benefits of human sacrifice might sound noble to you, but some of us find it distasteful.

do you know how many people that were killed in your bible, directed by your bible God? to the extent of telling them not to spare the innocent children
Read more , this people that are killed are wicked beings ... Can you imagine that they " even burn their sons and their daughters to their gods" Deu 12:31 , Nevertheless God notice the good ones among them , the people of Nineveh were spared when dey repent , infact Rahab the prostitute is also spared with her family !!! To be honest , do u know why Jonah ran away when God sends him to the people of Nineveh , He says its beacause " He knew he is a compassionate and merciful God, Slow To anger and abundant in loyal love, one who feel grieved over calamity" Jonah 4:2 !! He pardoned the people of Nineveh ...... But I Dont Blame U Though, u av been misinformed with the catholic fictional hell doctrine that has no basis in the Original Hebrew and Greek writings of the scriptures

The errors and contradictions in the Bible are legion. Plus the 'god' it talks about sounds like a man who has been given too much power and has gone corrupt because of it. Maybe because men created religion.

I agree with most of what you wrote except the part where you say ' as a child of God, you cannot sin'. IMO, that's wrong, the only person that was perfect was Jesus, and yes as Christians we have the life of God in us, but that doesn't mean that we can't sin. Christians still fall into temptation on a daily basis, but as you grow spiritually, you have more control over your actions. The church isn't for perfect people, it's for perfecting people.

1John 3:9 "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." This verse is talking about the seed of God in you which carries God's nature. By that seed you cannot sin. If we live by the seed inside of us or by the nature of God in us we can not sin. Living by God's nature is living as the child of God which you are. Therefore as a child of God (i.e living by God's nature) we cannot sin. This is what the Bible teaches.

Wait! If Jesus didnt come to save mankind, what will happen to us ?? Dead of course , so did God plan that we live for few years and den die ?? No , to amend this " God sent his only- begotten son ... That whosoever believe in him might not perish But have everlasting life" John 3:16 ! Notice it says ' whosoever belive in him' so if you believe that God sent Jesus as a tool to save mankind from dying like animals, you wuld follow his commandment and thereby receive the " gift" of everlasting life ( rom 6:23) but those who refuse will remain in death state(rom6:23) ! As for lake of fire , bro revelation is written in 'signs' rev1:1 , the scripture indicate that anything that goes into d symbolic lake of fire CEASE TO Exist ( death is thrown into lake of fire ( Rev20:14) EXPLAINED: death cease to exist ( Rev 21:4))

lol so abraham, samuel and others that died before jesus came died like animals right?

i hate it when people try to justify such homicidal act. nobody gave isreal the right to kill a whole race. talking about child sacrifice i think abraham started it. . . so by wiping a whole race even the unborn ones god sort to purge the world of evil? by killing innocent children and women and even unborn one, is he not worse than that their god that demand child sacrifice?? it can never be justified, it is against humanity and any human that tries to justify it is not worthy to be called human. i dont know why people will always see the truth and always try to.cover it in the name of religion, they will see evil and try to justify it in the name of religion. . . who is exactly is evil

No! Notice how you are too carnal to understand spiritual truth.

Like Paul said "not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words." (1Cor 2:13)

am happy that u realise that livin forever is not for animals , But unfortunately man lost dat gift and thus was " short lived" Job 14:1 , but u fail to reaiize the love of God in this regard when he sent his only begotten son to die for the sin of mankind , and thus anyone exercising faith and following God's command (john 3:16) can once again have that prospect that adam lost , " for death came thru one man ( Adam) and ressurection of the dead came thru another man ( Jesus) " 1cor 15:21 .... The people u mentioned have this hope of a ressurection from d sleep of death ; Beacause " there is going to be a ressurection" Act 24:15

I was brought up to to understand that Jesus Christ came and died for my sins.
I am a human and can't be perfect, I do fall in love with my opposite sex and there is 90% probability of engaging in sexual activities with her.
what I don't really understand is the doctrine of me still going to end up everlasting in a lake of fire even after Jesus died for my sins.
am just thinking of those soldiers who recently lost their lives in the fight against boko haram. they fought for our lives and safety and yet people still go to media to criticize them, calling them all sort of names.
can someone help me to explain how Jesus death has benefited africans and Nigerians?
i still get confused with religion


Jesus died for Jew sins..


Mohammed Died for Arab sins...


Sango died for Yoruba sins..


Amadioha died for Igbo sins..



Basically, we all have our own individual Jesus' that died for our sins. Find your own jesus..
