Hahaha, so when you die and find out you have been serving the wrong God what then happens, Since they are more than 1000 Gods? I am using my sense that's why I don't waste it serving an imaginary being.

Omooba77:
My observation is that many youths are in church serving in one position or the other today because of what they can get like jobs, wife/husband, connection and so on.
May God help us to truely love Christ!

This is because of the unbalanced gospel that has corrupted our current Christianity whereby Jesus Christ is preached as a means to an end {miracles, signs, job-opportunity, marital-engagements, promotions, financial-favors, healing e.t.c} instead of THE END ITSELF (ETERNAL LIFE) that permits both advantages and disadvantages.

The problem with our Christian belief started when preachers started preaching Jesus Christ as a means to an end(Miracles, financial-favors, marital-engagements, marital-bliss, job-opportunities, wealth, healing, prosperity e.t.c) and NOT THE END ITSELF{LIFE ETERNAL}.
Unless we preach CHRIST JESUS CRUCIFIED ALONE as the END and ALL THAT ANY HUMAN BEING NEEDS at every tick of time on this earth more erroneous doctrines, juju-men on suits, shrine-centers in the name of synagogues and prayer-houses will abound wrecking peoples' life especially in Africa and this generation.
Repetition of the Sound gospel of Grace{repent from sin/unbelief, believe in Jesus Christ in order to receive eternal life, submit your whole being; spirit, soul and body to the Holy Spirit to possess through daily consistent and progressive bible to discover more about JESUS CHRIST and grow in GRACE both as an individual and as a member in your fellowship/Church} is NEVER BORING because the Holy Spirit releases his freshness/anointing/grace each time it is preached, releases ETERNAL LIFE AND GRACE to attend to each individual and family as IT PLEASES HIM and AT HIS OWN TIME!!!

This is the same issue that has been plaguing the church at least since the middle- end of the last century..with the explosion of modernization and technology.
The world has and is fluencing the church more than the church influencing the world.

If what the world has to offer, is placed on the highest pedastal in the youths' hearts, then that is what will be sought after.
It's truly one simple spiritual reason though: no true heart conversion.
I know I sound like a tape-recorder, but it comes down to the heart.he youth in churches worldwide, probably cannot make the decision to leave the church yet or just not attend, so they just bring the "world" in.
They begrudgingly serve..
It's a "barter/trade" relationship."
"I'll serve, but I better get something out of it" type of mentality.
One foot in the church and the other "outside" of it.
So the worldy mentality comes into the church..and dominates.
I'm not judging, but I know its a problem in the U.S. also.
Parents/guardians have to do better job in laying a very firm biblical foundation...I would say.

EdenH:
and who are the great 'god of men'?

DavidEsq:

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.

Ranks007:
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

Gforce2019:

Ask Google for details

DavidEsq:

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
