[quote author=virginboy1 post=50805687]
All I know it's more difficult for a poor man to make
heaven than a rich man!
Why?
=> Poor men are bitter
=> Poor man lives in a dirty environment ( cleanliness is
next to godliness)
=> A poor man is not humble! Never mistake poverty for
humility. Eg Money miss road
=> A poor man naturally wicked Aluu4
=> A poor man is always vexed
Moreover,Heaven is more like an external bliss.

You lied. This is what the Op is talking about being narrow or close minded and pride. I can't explicitly say I do any of these things but has a human being I could,so I just learn from what is written,and try to write them on my heart so as to overcome them when the temptation to do anyone of them arises.
Stop being hypocritical, you are not a christian because you scored high in morality but only because you believed in Jesus ROM 5:1 ,ROM 3:20-25.

Above all Christians should be practical in showing love towards their brethren and even non christians.

That was the basis on which our lord Christ lived

At the close of service today a brother who was incharge of traffic control in my church was knocked down by a taxi driver.

Those of us who witnessed the incident rushed out of our vehicles to help him out , he was injured and sustained head injuries.

I was shocked and appalled by the attitude showed by some members of the church who were sitting in their vehicles and blarign their horns because they had better things to do, as if if they would do that if the man was related to them.

There is no more fellowship in the church, its all about keeping up with the Joneses and living a false life.

Blame the greediness of our church leaders who have placed money above the gospel. angry

How about secret fornication.
Let's be very sincere with ourselves for once, it's very hard to abstain from sex.
grin
I hate holier than thou attitudes of some Christians.





































But the truth is that it is very POSSIBLE! I relate and talk more to average unperfect Christians because I've "bin ther done that" and I know how hard/painful it could be wanting to please GOD but feeling so... I'm happy to tell you that GOD understands, all you need do is that you must NEVER give up on trying to be Holy; that's the key. HE just want you to be sincere like David. Because of Pride, most people don't table their weakness before GOD. David wept bitterly before GOD, confessing and telling GOD that he had a weakness that would destroy him if GOD doesn't intervene. GOD saw his sincerity and proclaimed him to be a "Man after my Heart" All HE needs is your sincerity. Philippians 1:6 "HE that began the good Work in you is more than able to perfect you" When you realize that out-of-wedlock sex is the most effective weapon of the enemy through which you are being rubbed of the speedy fulfillment of your Glorious Destiny, then you'll know it's mandatory to abstain. The big question is HOW?

1. To start with, you have to be very sincere and determine that you want to be Holy(it's a very Great Power).
2. Read/watch/listen to only books/movies/musics that glorify GOD and fill your mind with love for GOD and desire to see the world become better and Holy.
3. Remind people that Rapture is about to happen and the need to be Holy and rapturable (the devil hates preaching with strong animosity). The more you evangelize, the easier it is for your not to do things you spoke against (scientifically proven that you find it more difficult to do things you condemn).
4. Pray fervently during your private vigils on your bed that Holy Spirit should take permanent control of your thoughts and the Source of your Thoughts.
5. Thanks GOD continually everywhere in your mind, while working, eating, bathing, every time. It's the Key to your next Level of Greatness.
Finally, if you still don't have the Grace to abstain, get married. "Pride goeth before destruction", a cheap wedding with the presence of Parents, Pastor and few important people is acceptable. Even as a student, you can marry and take injections that prevent pregnancy. That way, you and your hubby focus on fulfilling your Glorious Destiny with clean conscience. The major cause of all problems in the world today (resent alarming rate of divorce, corruption, murder, armed robbery, etc.) resulted from indiscriminate sex with different partners. The day you start having sex with another person other than your first love/partner, a large part of your conscience dies.
We shall not miss Heaven in JESUS Name.

I've Learnt from this. God bless you.

AreaFada2:
I cannot see any African Christian being able to do all these.

A pagan in the village who believes that being at peace & harmony with nature is what matters, can succeed in doing most. Who believes that nature in its wisdom has allowed both good & evil to co-exist as both have useful roles to play. That the main human concern should be seeking to make the cosmos align in a way that both good and evil bring one favour. That is, that good benefits one actively & evil simply stays away & not scupper the good tidings.


Whereas for a Christian, he seeks to condemn & fight, cast & bind evil, even when evil siddon jeje. grin

Therefore, he cannot be objective but meddle into things that might later upset the balance of things.
Your words are so true. The day I accepted myself as being good and bad was the day I found salvation and became human again. Trying to be good kills the soul. At the end there's nothing like good and evil. Everything is One and the one encompasses all things. Christianity is contrary to nature because nature operates by the coupling of dualities : negative and positive, male and female, within and without, light and darkness. Christianity seeks to press everything into one mould. I tried it, I suffered, it felt unnatural. I abandoned it, I found peace and freedom.

raphieMontella:
christians are the most hypocritical humans to ever exist on this planet
christianity and hypocrisy be like
I was born into a Christian family. Just like most of everyone I drifted away and during that time I mocked Christians for being hypocrites. I later became born again and to my chagrin found myself being as hypocritical as much as the pharisees. I abandoned Christianity. Now I know why it is almost impossible to be a Christian without being hypocritical
1. Christianity is unnatural and not even supernatural. It is not organic in the sense that it imposes beliefs, strangles you with imperatives and commands that do not come from within and have not place from the mainspring of genuine action:the heart. It condemns and tags everything natural as sin.
2. The Holy Spirit who is supposedly the one to help Christians in living the christian life is unknown to most Christians in their spiritual experience both individually and as a body(church)
3. Christianity is based on a book called the Bible subject to interpretation, personal views and opinions.
4. Every Christian expects the other Christians to act in Christian ways. This creates an incredible amount of pressure. Hypocrisy is the natural human response in the face of such overwhelming yet false expectation.
5. Christianity treats Souls en mass, treats people as an indiguishable lump yet each individual is unique and different and carries in his heart the genius of his life. In Christianity the individual finds himself submerged in a plastic sea that swallows his own soul, he finds himself in a place where his true self cannot find expression.
7. In Christianity there's no transformation, no metanoai, no true and deep spiritual change because the word(preaching) comes in an abstract way from a pastor standing afar on a pulpit preaching to people he barely knows. No! The word that transforms must be an intimate word coming like from a loving father to a son.
8. Though Christianity hinges on the belief that Jesus is alive, the holy Spirit is present etc yet the atmosphere in most churches is cold and dead. In other churches especially pentecostal churches there's a lot of noise, excitement, dancing and entertainment but it's all empty. God is absent or at least his presence is almost never felt.
9. Most churches are religious factories churning out religious products and they are always in a hurry to meet production deadlines hence we have first service, second service, third service.
10. Relationships among Christians lacks true human authenticity. Christianity even with all the talk about grace creates demands. Demands create pressures. Human beings are not relationally wired to live by demands even in the name of God!

Nice one,
I'm proud to be a Christian, and my own definition of Christianity is Love of God and Love towards everything created by God. I prefer to live in Christ life style than cramming the bible from Genesis to Revelation and not practising any one of them. The only thing i understand in summary about the bible is CHRIST LOVE,Christ showed love to everything including prostitute and thieves, Pls LET US LOVE. TELL SOMEONE TODAY I LOVE YOU AS MY BROTHER, AS MY SISTER... #Letlovelead

I and someone was to talk something Techy only for him to start with a Bible quote. Well, I was there smiling listening to him only for him to ask "are you a Christian?". I replied No and he said, then you are a "potential" terrorist.

I widened my smile, he got more serious and I tried defending my religion for over 1hr 30m +. That day, everyone in the rooms I entered knew I was a Muslim. He told them on purpose.

I just tried explaining why you shouldn't judge others by other. I wondered who is more oppressed between both religions.

God help us all.

All I see from the topic and the various posts are people who want to be Christians and still carry the world with them. They don't want reprove, They don't want to be judged, they want to accommodate sin. They don't want the depth of the move of God. They don't believe God reveals things to his children.
They want to be Christians, yet fornicate and tell you that it's impossible to keep the word of God. The want to be Christians, talk like 50 cent, dress like 50 cent, think like 50 cent.

They want to be Christians and don't want to be different.

They don't want to understand Luke 9:23, that whoever will follow christ must deny himself and take his cross.

They don't want to be hated by the world. They want the world to love them. They forget
Matthew 10:22 (KJV) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. And John 15:18 (KJV) If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

They dilute the calling of Christ. forgetting that Galatians 5:13, says we shouldn't use liberty for an occasion to the flesh.

They also forget Titus 2:11-12 (KJV) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

IN ALL OUR ANALYSIS NEVER FORGET.

Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

MANY WILL GO THROUGH THE WIDE GATE.

If you Want eternal life with God, Narrow is the way and few will find it and go through it.

You are a typical Holier than thou Christian. I'm sure you didn't read the remaining part before u suicidally concluded . By His Grace, I don't commit fornication at all. In fact, I've made the a MUST to watch and screen the thoughts I allowed into my heart let alone pondering on them, talkless of transforming them to action. "Guide your heart with all diligence, for out of it proceeds the issues of Life" Proverbs 4:23. If you had the opportunity that I currently have (girls continually wooed and toast me on Whasapp, etc.) you'll be celebrating thinking you are lucky, but by I realized that is the easiest way to submit my Destiny to destruction; hence I always flee. I don't act superman that cannot fall; I simply don't allow them into my Privacy. Just yesterday, I blocked another girl from my whasapp for disturbing me. This is not to boast but to show people like you that thinks abstinence can only happen because of lack of opportunity. Pray that GOD should open your eyes: when you've seen where GOD Almighty is taking you to, you'll do anything to protect your Destiny.
