SAMBARRY:
the bible didn't speak against alcohol consumption it spoke against DRUNKENNESS AND OR INTOXICATION

NOTE THAT EVERY OF THE BIBLE VERSE THE OP QUOTED,THERE WAS ONE WORD PROMINENT,CONSISTENT AND REPEATED which the bible was against that is DRUNKENNESS.there's nothing wrong in drinking but there is everything wrong in drinking TO the point of DRUNKENNESS because the DRUNKENNESS itself propels misbehavior and indecent acts

Moreover some of the eateries where you buy cake ,some of the cakes are baked with alcohol.in essence alcohol in itself is not all bad,it's the abuse of it> INTOXICATION that's bad

After all fermented Palestine is called what?

Where is palmwine gotten from?

Part of God's creation

Dis is me too.... I no even too too get ... Small work wey I jus get... I come dey go give give... One relative I gave ten grand to after she jus put to birth.... Get mind talk say d money wey I give am too small.... This hurt me like natin av Neva known.....Av learnt.... Next year I'd be as stingy as hell

XhosaNostra:



I can relate to most of what you said except that I'm easily hurt lol.
My own relatives accuse me of no liking people, but it's not true. The only reason I withdraw from people is because they've hurt me in some way, no matter how inconsequential. One small thing & I'm ready to never speak to you again.
With relationships I fair better though. It's friendships & family bonds that I'm absolutely the worst at. I have only one close friend (16 years of friendship to be precise), but even that relationship is volatile at times because she always does things that make me wanna drop her on the spot. TBH, if she weren't so patient & persistent, the friendship would have ended a long time ago because I neither chase nor beg people. If we don't talk, then we won't talk. I don't have even a single sentimental bone on my body. I will write you off never to speak to you again, with ease.

Any work in the new Testament Bible is actually only to believe in Jesus that all that is the only work Jesus commanded every one to do.....

Is to believe in Jesus.......... So working out your salvation means to believe in Jesus..... Then God will work in you and through you.



Under law we work for God, but under grace we do the work of God. The work of God is believing in Jesus and revealing his finished work in our broken world. Which kind of works do you think Paul was describing here in Philippians 2


Philippians 2:13
…for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure. (

If God is the one working, what part do we play? We are the ones who decide who gets to see his work.

Let explain further.............


Philippians 2:12
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling…

What does it mean to work out your salvation with fear and trembling?

Some say salvation is something to work for, that we must tip-toe fearfully through life lest we upset a wrathful God and find ourselves thrown into hell. It sounds spiritual, but it’s an anti-christ message that insults the Spirit of grace.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Jesus did it all! His work was perfectly perfect and completely complete. Because of his sacrifice you have been made perfect forever. As he is, so are you. Rest in him.

Work out your salvation…
But what does it mean to work out your own salvation? We have this idea that salvation equals forgiveness, but it is so much more than that.

Salvation is the word soteria which includes “deliverance, preservation, safety, and salvation.” It is a picture of a new life where all your needs – your need for forgiveness, deliverance, healing, provision – are supplied according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Ph 4:19).

On the cross Jesus provided for your complete salvation, healing, and deliverance. If your old way of life was characterized by poverty, curses and never enough, then your new life in Christ is one of abundance, blessings and more than enough.

But you might say, I don’t see it. I’m not healthy. I’m not prospering. I’m not overcoming.

Then work it out.

Don’t ask Jesus to come – he already did. Don’t ask him to provide – he’s provided already. He forgave you and healed you at the cross. In him you lack nothing (Eph 1:3).

The problem with asking God to do things he’s already done is that it makes us passive and requires no faith. Paul is not exhorting us to be idle but to work out in our own lives the implications of Christ’s powerful sacrifice.

How do you do it?

It begins by changing the way you think. Renew your mind. Look to the empty tomb, behold the glory of your risen King, and declare his goodness and grace over your situation. Grace and peace will be multiplied to you as you grow in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord (2 Pet 1:2).

…with fear and trembling

with fear and trembling
I used to think that this phrase was describing our proper state before God – that we should be afraid and tremble because even after a lifetime of service God might judge that we haven’t done enough for him. Well thank God for the cross! God isn’t looking at me but Jesus who is our perfect and acceptable sacrifice.

I no longer fear judgment because my sin has been punished and I am clothed with Christ.

In the passage above, Paul is not talking about judgment at all, but the outworking of our salvation. Surely this is a good thing, seeing the fruit of Gods work in our lives. Why are fear and trembling involved? Because trusting God can be scary.

I recently saw a video of a paralyzed lady who got out of her wheelchair and took her first steps in 23 years. She was trembling when she did it. I can only imagine what was going through her mind.

What if I fail? What if I fall on my face in front of hundreds of people?

Her wheelchair was her comfort zone, but in faith she faced her fears and received a miracle. The healing that Jesus provided for her 2000 years ago was apprehended by faith.

Faith is risky. Faith does not come naturally and is often accompanied by fear and trembling.

How do you think Abraham felt as he was about to plunge the knife into Isaac? We know that Abraham was fully persuaded that God would raise the dead – that’s faith – but he would not have been human if his hand had not trembled.

And do you think Rahab was in a joyful mood when she welcomed the spies of Israel into her home? Her faith meant a death sentence if the soldiers of Jericho discovered her treason.

Or what about Daniel in the lions’ den?

Or David facing the giant?

Or Moses standing up to Pharaoh? Scary moments!

Faith often involves putting something on the line. It might be your comfort, your reputation, your family, your funds, even your life – but something is risked or else it’s not faith.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. (1 Corinthians 2:1-3

Paul was a mighty man of faith, yet he came to Corinth in fear and in much trembling. In other words, he didn’t want to go. In fact, Paul was so fearful that God had to step in and say “do not be afraid” (Acts 18:9

There’s grace for us here. Paul is saying, “it’s not wrong to be fearful.” But in the presence of these feelings, work out your salvation anyway. Take the faith-risk, because you will be blessed if you do.



…and you will be blessed if you stay

A preacher of works will use Philippians 2:12 to motivate you to perform out of fear. But there is a big difference between works done under law and works done under grace.

Under law we work for God, but under grace we do the work of God. The work of God is believing in Jesus and revealing his finished work in our broken world. Which kind of works do you think Paul was describing here in Philippians 2

…for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13

If God is the one working, what part do we play? We are the ones who decide who gets to see his work.

God is God, but in his wisdom he has chosen to reveal himself through the faith of his saints. We preach with our mouths and his signs and wonders follow. We lay our hands on the sick and his healing is released.

Paul didn’t want to go to Corinth but he went anyway. Despite his fear and trembling he preached Christ crucified and the result was that many Corinthians believed and were baptized (Acts 18:8

Jonah didn’t want to preach in Nineveh but he did and an entire city was saved. Both Jonah and Paul took faith-risks despite their fears. As a result, the kingdom of God came to two cities and thousands of people were saved.

Fear and trembling are normal. What you do with fear is the thing. We can live afraid and see nothing change, or we can face our fears and see the kingdom come.

Working out our salvation means that at some point we’re going to have to get out of the boat and take a risk. God won’t punish us if we hold back – this has nothing to do with punishment.

But we will blessed, and the nations will be blessed through us, when we reveal Jesus.


Glory.

pansophist:
I have been in the game of losing and gaining fat for at least a decade. As a former university fitness fine boy, I have seen so much wrong information on the internet, especially money-hungry social media thieves (aka influencers) that prey on people's ignorance to make money.

So if you have problems/questions about losing fat/gaining muscles, drop them here, and I will handle it. I will delve into the science of how food relates to your body. And guess what? for free.

I don't chew with one side of my mouth because of a hole in the last tooth. can this toothpaste cure it and I start using that side of my mouth again?

fadilaMaikiriki:
Whenever I take milk, I tend to fart uncontrollably, like non-stop farting. Imagine you being with someone and the person is farting every three or five minutes. Honestly, this can be so annoying for the fartee and embarrassing for the farter.

The farts is the type that make the "ssshhhhhhhhhhh" sound. And sometimes the fart becomes noisy or vibrates.

Please, what can I do to remedy this? What can I do to stop the fart? It happens whenever I take milk. I take pap alot( infact I prefer pap to tea), and I take the pap with milk because I don't use sugar. Please, is there any alternative? Maybe a better milk that I can use for the pap.

Please, is there any one here who has/is experiencing this?

Or is it because of that particular company's product (milk)?

Has anyone here experienced this?

I would really appreciate your inputs, suggestions/opinions.

Thanks.

Hello Friends,
I wish to share an experience on the importance of prayer at night. While you sleep God really saves us from harm. But how would I know God saves me while i sleep at night.

Well, HE SHOWED ME HOW THIS PARTICULAR NIGHT.. Listen..

I was just about 12/13yrs old then. I usually slept on the same bed with my elder sister back then.
One very night, I was too tired I forgot to pray.
I was sleeping close to the wall, this was about 4am. I was half asleep & half awake when I saw somthing like lightning from heaven rushing down to the ground. Then a loud voice said.. Here comes Angel Michael, the Archangel......'

All of a sudden I heard a loud thud on the bed!
I turned away from the wall to see what it was behind me. It was a dead rotten corpse, it looked like a woman or demonic spirit, it was black and looked burnt.
I felt too sleepy, so I ignored it and turned back to sleep again.
But I heard another thud on the bed. This time it looked like a man, looked burnt, ugly, black just like the first one. I ignored it again. I felt too sleepy.

The I heard the last thud again as the bed shook. I was confused. It was another spirit/demon again lying in the same state like the other two.

Then I looked across the room & met the gaze of a very handsome Angel. He had a sword drawn in his hand and there was blood stain on the sword. He had golden hair, like a blonde. He was wingless. He was just dressed in a white shining robe, his face smooth and shining, with a blood stained sword stretched out in his hand. He looked young, like 26yrs old.

Then He said what I'll never forget till the day I die.

He said 'BEHOLD, YOU HAVE OVERCOME THEM'!

Thanks mama Glimpse and mama Ritta. I appreciate you both. Please, if you are yet to get d list and timetable, Indicate so I can send it to you.

Right.. i made a sweeping generalization. Depending on what continent of "the abroad you are in". But on average tropical countries of which Nigeria is one of-- see more sunshine than say a European country like UK where the sunshine can be obscured by clouds. You get the general idea of my gist. Hopefully thats the only error found in my argument.
