If u can curtail these 3you can curtail the Rest

Hello buddy so you are the one to decide the criteria God will use to judge his people?

An2elect2:
Op I wish and pray that you would point people to the cross, so they can see that Jesus bore all their sins and that God is no longer angry with them but is calling them home. The whole world is tired and hopeless with this "self consciousness" gospel which is another gospel.

You may have good intentions but you are heavily misrepresenting God and making Him appear unholy and unjust. If a man owed you N5000 and his brother pays you on his behalf(even much more than he owed) and you go back to charge him for same money his brother has paid won't you be referred to as wicked and evil? or a thief? You do not realise that that is what you are ignorantly ascribing to God.

Jesus Christ bore the punishment for all our sins. Not one sin was left unpaid on that cross. We were debtors but one paid all our debts once and for all, not only that he earned so many benefits for us. The only reason people are perishing is because they really have no idea who Jesus Christ is and what He did on the cross. Many in this group are still trusting their moral abilities and their works and thereby unknowingly treating the full payment for sins by Christ as not enough or a common thing. A slap to God's Spirit of grace.

How did the church go from presenting to the world the graciousness and kindness of God through Jesus Christ to telling people they have to stop sinning to please God? Don't we know that is the goodness of God that leads one to repentance?

What made the prodigal son return to his father. His Father's goodness or wrath?

Only the gospel can turn the most rebellious person back to God.

The church must stop preaching from a natural human point of view of "doing good and then getting good",we must preach from God's view of " not doing good but getting good from God because one person has done good on your behalf" overtime this grace would transform one from the inside out.

God bless you. I am glad there are still many who understands what the gospel actuall is. Only Jesus must be exalted, not self.

I don't intend to mislead anyone with what I am about to say but I want to make my opinion known. We as mortals can't control or decide our destination after leaving this world if at all there is a life after death. None can bodly say he was aware of his creation and had the chance to choose his gender, place of birth, character, belief e.t.c. Why will going to heaven or hell be the choice of the creatures and not the creator since we are just handiwork? I can tell you that it is not your choice if you are good or bad if their is a supernatural forces controlling mortals! Take for example, Moses and Pharaoh in the Bible. God sent Moses to Pharaoh. Same God hardened the heart of Pharaoh and the Christians, in their gatherings Sunday School, Bible study, will blame Pharaoh for being stubborn. Was it not God that use is power to control his attitude? My point is no matter how hard you try or what effort you made, God will put you in heaven or hell according to his own will.

Bros you are truly enlightened... forget all these hypocrites deceiving themselves, imagine someone killing another persons dreams thereby tainting the person's future and you come and be telling me I should forgive!?... I don't forgive what's done intentionally and never will I until I have my own revenge!!!... even in the Bible God remembered what the children of Edom did to the Israelites hence there slaughter by Joshua, i treat you how you treat me cus if we go by full forgiveness there will be no LAW!!!

I call them the Powerful Trio. Just like Ronaldo-Tevez-Rooney/ Bale-Benzema-Cristiano/ Messi-Suarez-Neymar kinda trio

When they attack and you don't defend hard, a goal is inevitable.

IF you watch the videos of most people who went to Hell and came back, they'll tell you, I saw a woman/man who was crying, "I should have FORGIVE him/her."

So now you know, that sin is UNFORGIVENESS. I've watched numerous videos and the common denominator is UNFORGIVENESS in all its ramifications.

People come around you or post how they no longer womanize, smoke, drink, wankk, sezz, steal, lust etc.
They go on in that line and never notice that we have;

1. Physical sins. (You may stop this because of what people will say. It's morally wrong also.)
2. Spiritual sins. This has been modernised. -Lies AKA white lies/diplomacy.
-Malice AKA good riddance to bad rubbish. -Filthy Communication AKA freedom of speech. People love lies. Some jobs demand you to lie, it's also tagged "discretion". How easy!

Colossians 3:8-9 listed them, ANGER, WRATH, MALICE, BLASPHEMY, FILTHY COMMUNICATION, LIES.

Follow the build-up,

Anger-Wrath-Malice..

(He gets you ANGRY (not necessarily a sin), you think about it and WRATH builds up (sin is knocking), then you see him and ignore, MALICE scores the goal (that's Unforgiveness in progress, that's a sin) Then FILTHY statements comes in because WRATH voice harsh words

As it's written, if you don't forgive, your Heavenly Father won't forgive you: So could it be that you're living free from fornication and adultery but God hasn't forgiven your sins EVEN IF YOU ASKED FOR MERCY simply because you failed to forgive that person?

Solomon the wisest man said, It's the little foxes that spoils the vine. Not the big foxes. Little ones!

Nobody notices the anger in your heart. Nobody saw your motive for preaching on the street(you want tell people you're a Christian). Nobody saw your motive for praying loud at night (to tell the neighbours something, PRIDE). Nobody saw your motive for singing that hymn when you and your spouse are having a disagreement...No one except GOD!

No wonder Jesus eradicated the law and prophet and place it all on LOVE. If you love God and people, you won't criticize them for being sinners. You will forgive their errors and wrongs. That's not their sentence. They want out. But you saw it as an avenue to make them feel horrible. That's hypocritical. That's not LOVE.

Most of these folks are like Jonah, they are ladikal plophets but don't want anyone else saved. They always want to judge others. TODAY, God is saying, quit that self-righteous position and love people. It's this love that brings them to Christ. John 13:35 (By LOVE, shall all men know you are My disciples)

Shalom!

Kindly note that it is not all these sins you listed that takes one to hell fire. What makes someone a candidate of hell fire is refusing to accept the Lord Jesus as their personal Lord and saviour (John 3 vs 16).

STENON:
Nobody can be a saint here on earth.

Will you rather be a devil?

Omezif:
Why do you want to be punish at all ?

Question for question. Whether you like it or not, there is punishment for every bad action.

I have not said anything about Jesus. Even common sense and perhaps your conscience will enable you to differentiate between right and wrong. Especially when you have done something gravely bad.

you are right. That's why I concluded that such god is heartless. He's worst than Adol.ph Hitle.r. People worship him because they are afraid of his devil.sh harsh afterlife treatment of people. I refuse to bow to a tyranny. I would rather protest against him and perish in hellfire.

I'm a good person, but I don't accept jesus as my lord and Savior. I'm I going to hell?

life is a matter of choice. I live a life to love others by not doing bad to them. That doesn't make me a Saint, and been a Christian or spiritual brother doesn't make you a Saint too.

There is nothing like heaven or hell !!!

It is a psychological trick designed to make you worship a false god.

you have good mind but a very faulty cerebrum how would you just sit down and say there is no hell better repent now before it too late

Well that Sounds like a Lovecraftian horror.

Who would want to submit to a cosmic tyrant. At least human dictators can died, if you they don't you can at least die yourself and be free of their tyranny, or even strict parents have to give you your freedom if you reach a certain age or you have the option of moving out and making your own path.

But such an Eldritch being, wouldn't even let you be free, not even in death.

So one might as well rebel, even if it means you can never win, even if it means to perish in hell for eternity.

The prodigal son you mention became self-conscious, that was when he thought of returning home. Before his father, he said "I have sin". Pls read that passage very well again. No sinner can be save without self acknowledgment, no sinner can be save without confession and believing.
A SINNER MUST ACCEPT CHRIST' WORK.
REPENTANCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GOSPEL.
HERE IS A STORY:

In 1829, George Wilson committed a crime, was tried, found guilty and sentenced for execution. However, the president of the United States then, Andrew Jackson, exercising his power of Prerogative of Mercy decided to grant him pardon and have his death sentence changed to a 20 year prison term. Strangely, George Wilson refused the offer. In his comment, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote, "A pardon is an act of grace, proceeding from the power entrusted with the execution of laws... (But) delivery is not complete without acceptance..." Since Wilson rejected the offer of grace, he had to face the consequences of his crime.*

Have been searching answer to this,Sadly, I our religious folks don't have answer too, if I could get a logical explanation to this, I will renounce my atheism..

My question for you are as follows

1. If an Ogun worshiper says in their text that anyone who sleep with another woman that is not his wife will go to to hell fire without forgiveness, does that apply to all human on earth?

2. If Muslims says Allah allowed 4 wives does that apply to all human?

Always try as much as possible to ensure that what your religion text says is applicable to your members who share same faith with you and stop generalizing.

If those sins you stated above are what your religion says are sins, let it be what your members will avoid in other not to violate the teachings.

God is one mighty being who created the universe and whatever anyone hold for or against him as regards religion are purely human activities and not true reflection of whom he his.

So are you a good person only because you are afraid of punishment? Or because you expect to get a reward?

loko50:

So? I don't care whom the quote came from.
It is a limited way to look at what drives people.

People are driven by more than just that, which includes belief, love, hate, conviction, curiousity etc.

Fear is nothing more than the instinct for self preservation. And fear can be easily overcome when one knows where they stand. Do you really think that people would ever fight and risk their being for a cause if fear can hold them back?

And profit? So would you kill your bestfriend right now, if I told you I would give you 10billion Naira and you would not be punished for killing him, not in this world nor afterlife?

loko50:


Why are you a good person if there is no punishment for doing wrong?

because I am too good to be a bad person simply because I don't believe in hellfire.

Because I don't need to be threatened by hellfire before I will be good

Because I don't need fake paradise promise to be good

Because I don't need to be religious to be good

Because doing bad to others doesn't give me joy.

Because....................

It is quite unfortunate that you are only good because of the threat of eternal hell fire. What if you realise the hellfire is a fairy tale. You will start killin.g, r.aping etc?

And what's the summarised version?
