Chibuebem: i think sir that that was for correction, that prophecy is supposed to lead men to repentance not bring terror and hopelessness on them.

1 corinthians 14:3
But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.


You have mixed up the context my friend.

In Jeremiah 28:8 Jeremiah is warning Israel of the consequence of their refusal to obey God, while another prophet, Hananiah, prophesied false peace to Israel while trouble loomed.

Pay attention to the bolded

Jeremiah 28:8-17
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.

11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.

14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.

17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.




The bolded is the consequence of the false prophecy of peace he gave while trouble loomed.


In 1 Corinthians 14:3 that you quoted, Paul is talking to the Corinthians that had just been introduced to the laws of God. Prophecy to these Corinthians was to edify, exhort and comfort them. This would strenghthen the Corinthian church and help bring in new converts


1 Cor 14:23-25
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

Do you now see the difference in context? Dont just quote the Bible anyhow without context.

i understand what you're saying. The issue has been resolved by Tgirl. It was just a case of misunderstanding. My point was that 'his prophecy warning' should bring peace and encouragement in those walking in truth and repentance to those who heed it. Just like the prophecies to Israel in the old testament. It shouldn't bring terror and hopelessness. I hope my point is understood by you sir. Thank you.
Thank you Tgirl.
Thank you of course Sir Obadiah.
Goodnight everyone. Jesus loves all of ya.

You are right. So, if it brings terror, the person needs to check himself.

Have a beautiful night rest.

I see much of Jesoul in HBG.

When Jesoul started, she was an intolerant and religious bigot. Then she met deists and atheists. She became less conservative in her christianity. HBG is just starting to see how equality really works. She can now see that for every insult she allows on unbelievers, she has to allow an equal insult to christians.

A dove? Guy, you have always been "**(insert abusive word and be banned by Ajiban)**" when it comes to women and religion


Maybe, you should read HBG's earlier comments.


Also, read my thread on Jesoul's transformation where even Jesoul herself agreed that she became more tolerant

It is amazing how there is no fear of ban when adressing a Satanist.


That is the double standard....no one cares about satanists.

It is actually very legal to be bigoted towards satanists.

Unfortunately



however, you called me "gay" first!
