Omooba77: It is because of the pastors and heads of the church. I can’t really blame the youths much cos they have set a bad example and twisted idea of service, importantance and greatness with false humility. |

ochibuogwu5:thumbs up! But Jesus Christ was killed; not crucified. To say he was crucified, we fall into the error of saying he died on a cross which is not true according to the bible. Why? Deuteronomy 21:22-23 says: "And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any way Bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God) and thy land shall not be defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance". This same Jewish tradition was the basis for which Jesus body was removed before nightfall at John 19:31. Take note of the word "tree". Bearing in mind that the bible was translated Greek (see the septuagint-Google), it is therefore imperative to know the Greek word for "cross". The form of Greek that was spoken at that time was Homeric and classical Greek, which renders the word "strauros" which means an upright stake or pole or a piece of paling on which anything might be hung or which might be used in impaling or fencing in a piece of ground" Wikipedia records that in the literature of that time (during Homeric or classical greek), it never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at an angle but always one piece alone.....". This Homeric or classical Greek began to fade by the 3/4th century (300 - 400AD). How then did the cross become two beams placed at angles to each other? The pagans of ancient babylon and Egypt worshipped a god of fertility named Tammuz Ezekiel 8:14 mentions this god Tammuz. The babylonians used the letter T to represent Tammuz. However, this letter T was not like today's T. It was shaped in a cross form, with the bar at the top lowered a bit and the "i" stretching thru the bar "-", to appear like a cross. Emperor Constantine adopted this symbol as the instrument upon which Christ was killed. The Internet I our friend and today, we have a good opportunity to find facts. |

Simple, youths aren't genuinely serving God because they don't know Him, they don't know their "Self". To know oneself is to know God and also we confuse the true meaning of the mysteries of the logias. |

Gforce2019: Did he say youths don't serve God? Read and understand ...then think before you comment. @ topic. I think the youths are misguided by the soooo many prosperity pastors whose message is the church is the way to riches instead of to eternal life. The youths in turn basically join the church... invest their tithes etc and be there waiting on their turn for God to pick their number. Many willingly attend because of fear.... fear that if they stay away it will spoil their chance to blow. |

Mobilia: It's because the laws and and texts in the bible and other religious books are outdated and do not conform with modern society. If we keep abiding to millenias old texts written by a bunch of unknown old people in the past, we'll never progress as a species. Religion only preaches stagnation. 1 Like |

Omooba77:Simple Lust of the world. Youths are battling with the love of the world. It is not easy and 99% of pastors are preaching prosperity instead of grace to overcome sin. The Spirit of Lust in the world is far stronger now adays than 10 years ago. Prosperity is the major problem. Pastors are no more preaching of the difficulty of serving God with riches but instead are preaching that prosperity is the way to heaven. I know a youth that God has promised to pour His greatest wrath on if he or she loves the things of this world. May God help us. |

DavidEsq:Ok friend, let me lend you wisdom through the Holy Spirit. There might be an element of truth in what you said, but it doesnt change the fact Christ was crucified. I explain. A man's life terminated by any tangible form or method of execution whether he's innocent or guilty of crime; the word 'killed' can be used bc generally man has fallen short of the glory of God, even a baby born now. On the other hand, its vain and spiritually misleading when one adopts same for Christ bc He was without sin and clean before God and man. So its good to use the word 'crucified' whether its on the conventional widely believed cross he died on or not. Now to bring it to a factual close, when tribulation and persecution caught up with Christ's disciples, and Peter was about to be exterminated the same way Christ died, what did Peter say can you remember or havent you heard about that event? Peter simply told his executioners that they should turn the cross upside down and that he isnt worthy to take the Master's position in death...my focus isnt the cross but the spiritual understanding of avoiding error |
Re: Why Are Youths Not Genuinely Serving God? by DavidEsq(m): 2:58pm On Jan 27, 2019 |
Ranks007:So a spiritual understanding of avoiding error does not lead to actually avoiding the error? Damn! That's epic "knowledge" knowing that spiritual understanding of avoiding an error actually helps us to perpetuate the error and be more contaminated by it, rather than making righteous adjustments. I gotta hand it to u bro |

Re: Why Are Youths Not Genuinely Serving God? by Nobody: 3:12pm On Jan 27, 2019 |
DavidEsq:They say knowledge is power. There is no way spiritual understanding of avoiding an error actually helps us to perpetuate the error and be more contaminated by it. So can one make righteous judgement without knowledge especially the spiritual one? I have never come across this question but as I read it, answer came. Are you born again and filled with the Holy Spirit? |

"because of what they can get like jobs, wife/husband, connection and so on" Law of cause and effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other or others. God has conditions for you as well, to serve and make heaven. Else hell. Meaning, it is a cause and effect. Serve me and you will not enter hell. So we also have will power. That means we also can give conditions to serve. Money or I will not serve. Connection or not. Don't form things you are never are. Christians are hypocrite. 1 Like |

1. This is because the END TIME is near (it will shock many may God count me worthy) as it had been prophesied. Similar things happened in the days of Noah in fact what is happening now in this present generation is more grievous than what happened in the days of Noah and Sodom/Gomorrah......2Timothy 3:1-4.....this is the real truth every one must take...lest it meets us unawares. 2. Many don't know Christ personally....so they believe on the testimonies of those who seems to have met him which only is not enough. 3.Insatiable negative usage of MODERNIZATION AND TECHNOLOGY.... It's a real fact that the highest form of information whether good or bad can now been gotten in speed of light..... so giving room for negative mind renewal with junks which control their lives.....YOU ARE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF WHAT YOU FILL WITH YOUR HEART. 4. Many are not visionary.... or I rather say many are slaves to pressure of Emulation. My friend does that, acquires that e.t.c. 5.Many don't have God -fearing Mentors....or some were not given proper God -fearing teachings and lessons from home... though this is no man's story as journey to heaven is ON YOUR OWN JOURNEY. 6.Many don't study Scripture, I tell you no greater motivational quote supersedes what you have in Bible.... the beginning of going astray is prevention from studying Bible.... It's a book of TRUTH...so they are far from the truth.......MANY LISTEN TO RESPOND, SO MANY STUDY SCRIPTURE TO BOLSTER AN ARGUMENT, or proof read a fact...never will the true knowledge be revealed...... it's only opened to renewed heart. The end is near, LIFE AFTER DEATH IS REAL. let me just stop here. 1 Like |
