Money and power, that's all Christianity is all about today.... this world is now their own too.
Money and politics has influenced Christianity. Try criticizing the top G.O's in Nigeria and see their members telling you you can never make it(have money) as their pastors. Money and power have now become yardstick of success in ministry. Christianity has become a busines venture, if you are not making money, you're not making it.
TechCapon: heaven of course. There's spiritual saving and physical saving
so what's the essence of your op? this logic defeats the premise of your article. It's way better if the guy has been killed because he'll have been in a better place by now.
TechCapon: For those who call themselves atheists and don't believe that God exists, this true life story which is indeed a miracle that stunned the world will definitely change your mind.
It's the true life story of Anthony Haynes, a teenager and convicted murderer who was condemned to death in Texas for the murder of a police officer named Kent. It was a bright morning in the city of Texas when a police officer pulled over a car after an object smashed his windscreen, Anthony Haynes, a criminal and a thief was behind the wheel.
As the officer knocked on the window of the car, he told Anthony that he was a policeman, then he reached to his back pocket to bring out his badge. Anthony Haynes, being a criminal thought the officer was reaching out for his gun fired a his own gun and the bullet hit the policeman in his left eye. He died on the spot.
Anyway, Anthony was arrested, after a lengthy trial period he was sentenced to death for murder making him the youngest person on death row in the United States at the time. His lawyer filed an appeal at the appeal court, his appeal was rejected.
His lawyer refused to give up, she filed another appeal with the governor of Texas pleading for clemency as the execution date was fast approaching.
48 hours to the execution date, the governor of Texas rejected his appeal. Anthony Haynes was already a born again Christian in prison and he had already given his life to Jesus Christ. He was already studying his Bible and praying for God to give him another opportunity because the dead cannot serve Him.
His lawyer filed a last minute appeal at the US Supreme Court in a desperate effort to save his life. Anthony Haynes was given one last interview with BBC just 24 hours before his execution. What he said at the interview shocked everyone. He told BBC that while he was praying last night, God spoke to him and told him that he will not die that day.
This was a person whose execution bed had been arranged alongside the lethal injection that would be used in his execution. Nobody believed him. He insisted that he would not be killed by lethal injection that day because God had spoken to him in prison loud and clear, the journalist thought he was crazy.
The night before he was due to be executed, his lawyer and his family members stormed the church and held a vigil for him begging God to spare his life. On the day he was to be executed, few minutes to his execution, he was already wearing white gown (which is the uniform inmates wear before execution) a miracle happened.
The US Supreme Court, in a very rare move granted Anthony a stay of execution automatically saving his life.
His story made global headlines and BBC even made a full documentary about it because it was nothing short of a miracle. Everyone celebrated the Supreme Court judgment.
So for those who still think there's no God, how do you explain it? This is clearly a case where a born again soul cried out to his father and his father answered. I pray you have a change of heart before it's too late.
Adam and Eve are imaginary beings so their color is the color you want. For instance, Adam was bright red with purple stripes and Eve yellow with cyan polka dots.
Don’t force mythology to make sense. Myths don’t make sense. Myths are myths.
So the options here are only error or mischievous interpretation? How are you out being an honest debater here?
Why does the Bible have to say it there when it teaches the principle everywhere else?
In the New Testament, at least two people were deliberately exposed to Satan's attack for blasphemy. There is another one in 1 Corinthians 5 who was given over to Satan too for blatant sexual immorality. Paul himself testified that God gave him a "messenger of Satan" to buffet him and keep him from becoming proud.
It is completely unreasonable to demand that a text always in each and every instance enunciate a principle that it has already established and that should be taken for granted.
What are you insinuating guy? That we should assume bible said something when it did not say so? Just stop, so we should assume God was using Satan throughout the bible? Who authors sin God or Satan?
