We Christians av so much lost d truth of Christianity but holding to the EASY WAY Gospel as preached by Nigerian Money Making Pastors!

How on earth will a Christian say a Christian doesn't av to suffer because Christ has suffered for us? Didnt u Hear CARRY YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME?

A Christian will be saved by the Works of Mercy nd Love he has done nd show as thought by Jesus Himself and even Paul. The only Criteria Jesus gave dat will be used to sort out the GOATS from the SHEEPS on his judgement day. Check out Matthew 25:31-46
if ur denomination discourages u any of these Jesus Teaching, my brother, stop calling your self a CHRISTIAN.

You must work to earn heaven..u av been given d grace and the WILL, d ball is in ur Court.

The Judgment of the Nations(MATTHEW 25) 31 “When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34 Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39 And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’ 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ 46 And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life

Why can't you offer your house to the homeless people, so you can be homeless for christ.?

You eat three-square meal, right?
Why can't you eat one meal everyday and give the other 2 meal to people who don't have any to eat?

You have good clothes, right?
Why can't you exchange your good cloths with the people who wear tattered cloths?

What are you doing with your shoes, since there are people around you who walk on bare footed?
Why can't you give them your shoe and walk on bare footed for christ?

Why would you buy expensive cloths, shoes, costimetics and jewellery since there are people around that you can put a smile on with that money that has been budgeted for those things?

Why can't you give people around you who are helpless, your jewellery?

You wear sanitary pad(if female), why can't you buy for people around you who don't have money to buy theirs?

You have bed, right?
Why can't you give your bed to people who sleep across the road, so you can sleep on the floor for christ?

Jesus also said if your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it off. If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off. I wonder why Christians aren't walking around with one hand and one eye They just choose which laws to follow and which ones to ignore.

It's just like saying Jesus said you should eat his flesh and drink his blood, therefore all Christians should go around looking for his flesh to eat and blood to drink.

Yeah but initially the jews accused him of wanting to give them his flesh to eat. Also there are atheists here who have argued with me quoting that Jesus wanted us to eat his flesh and drink his blood. He even said I am the bread who came down from heaven. tongue
Jesus also said things like the eye is the lamp of the body, ye are the salt of the earth, out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water, etc.

2 Peter 3 v 15-16;

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.


As Peter (the rock upon which Jesus established the church) foresaw and warned, the issue here isn’t Paul’s letters, but those who are unlearned and interprets Paul’s letters out of context!

Ask God for UNDERSTANDING. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying.

You think the epistles are difficult? But I actually feel Christians focus more on what Jesus said than even the epistles. Cos the epistles show their righteous identity in Christ. But they go to the law that Jesus said to bring the Pharisees and those under the law to the end of themselves and see how difficult the law is, so they can see the need for grace(Jesus)

Jesus said why do you call me lord, lord, and not do what I say? was he speaking to only those under the law or to all who would call him Lord / Master?

Re: Many Nigerian Christians Do Not Believe In Christ But Paul by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:37am On Apr 03, 2021
There is no connection between you and Jesus if you're not a Jew!
The only link between Jesus and non Jews is the Apostle Paul, Jesus had twelve Apostles [b] Chosen to help Jews understand Jesus' teachings, as for people from other nations Jesus chose Paul as our Apostles {Act 9:15; 1Timothy 2:7} so if you want Jesus to welcome you in Paradise follow Paul's teachings strictly and you will have the crown of life.

You'll know the teachings that are under the law....that were meant for the Pharisees who place heavy burden on people. The Pharisees, according to the law, say that except you are caught in the act, you haven't sinned. Jesus said even if u look at a woman lustfully, you have committed adultery. Everything Jesus said is Holy. The law is Holy but it can't make u holy. Only Jesus can.

Did you notice the two different men in Luke? The rich young ruler and that short man? The rich guy boasted that he has kept everything till Jesus said he should sell all he has and give to the poor. Christians will say Jesus didn't really mean it but he did, and the guy couldn't even drop one penny. The other short rich guy...when Jesus went to his house, He didn't give a single law. But this guy touched by Jesus said he'll give almost everything he has to the poor and those he has cheated. And when Jesus wanted to heal people, most especially the woman that was bleeding. That woman broke the law cos she was unclean yet Jesus didn't condemn her or say something bad to her. That is the grace. Jesus Himself transforms. The law can't. Jesus showed and described grace in His every actions. And then He said "I have come to fulfill the law". Why did He need to do that since He's holy?

Jesus came to teach us the true ways of God (law or no law).

Where the law contradicts the teachings of Jesus, as a disciple of Jesus you go with that of Jesus. If the gospels says Jesus did not condemn the woman bleeding, then I as a disciple of Jesus would interpret it to mean that law was not so important in the first place. It simply means there are weighter matters to be considered. The problem would then lie either on the law itself forbidding bleeding women from coming out or on the way it was understood and practiced by men. Whatever the case, jesus was right not to condemn her and it wasn't about a so called grace, it was more about the worldview of jesus and how he saw things.

You don't have to invent grace anywhere, all you have to do is obey the sayings of christ and put them in first place over the law or anything else.

Jesus teachings highly contradicts what they believe, to me, they are not CHRISTIANS they dont follow Jesus's teachings. Maybe a religious body that only focuses on Pauls teaching and nothing more.

They forget the epistles where letters sent to strengthen the church not the main teaching given to them.

Well, 2 Corinthians 3:7-9 has stated everything plainly. We may not have similar beliefs which is okay. Cos the ministry of condemnation which is the law is actually glorious cos u know, people still get saved. But the ministry of righteousness which can only be gotten through Jesus exceeds much more in glory. smiley

Jesus Christ commanded we do these things. His apostles and even your beloved Paul did it too. They all abandoned it all, just as Jesus Christ commanded, in order to become His followers. Are you suggesting that because you think it stupid , what they did, that people shouldn't? undecided

How can you say yourself that you are a servant of Jesus Christ if you refuse to do what Jesus Christ commmanded? undecided

And before you turn on me next, I have done what He asked in order to becoming worthy of Him , all those 6 rules, I obeyed. Will you listen to me then? Or will you fish for more reasons why you should not do in your life all that Jesus Christ has indeed commanded? undecided

If you obey His commandment, you would not need to pluck out your eyes or cut off your limbs. Jesus Christ made that clear to you in His teachings that rather than maim yourself, you can instead chose obedience as the way to overcoming bondage to sin. undecided

Those who are followers of Jesus Christ are those who accept (trust) and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ and so have no reason to pluck out their eyes or cut off their limbs since through obedience, they have been set free from sin and are made sons of God instead. undecided

Again read John 8, 14 and 15 to learn more on this. undecided
