Ephesians 1:5

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.


God's System is different.

The world's system is as what you said, I will only believe if I see it.

God's System is opposite. Notice that we always mention about the Anti-Christ which is the opposite of God?

Satan has created a system which is opposite of God's system so that many people will fall into this trap and doubt God.

Im never oppose God. I been trying to seek god but no reply given so I give up.

If god is so caring why he never show me a sign to believe in him?

What do u do when u try to seek someone but no answer given? natural is to give up.

Im dunno wat reward and all that. Its just human talk from christai believer but nobody ever receive the reward.

I tink im more suit for world reward where u can see result of your labour than doing something whic no reply and dunno if its worth your effort

I will pray for you brother, I've been in your position before. Don't give up.

Meditate on this:


John 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.



God Bless.

gtg, will reply back this thread when I get back. See you guise in the night.

Agreed - when you are alone, it's very hard to grow. Living the Christian life is not just about "being a good person" (a phrase that is subject to personal interpretation). In reality it involves a lifelong struggle to discipline yourself and walk the narrow path.

The moment you become a Christian you're partaking in a spiritual warfare against all sorts of temptations, distractions, deceptions, doubts and other spiritual attacks that will be thrown at you. It is always good to have ppl praying for you and encouraging you along the way. You will also be able to encourage others in turn and have your own faith strengthened. Being in the church fellowship gives you opportunities to serve and in time grow and mature spiritually as well. So, even though it's true that you are still part of the church without having to enter a church building every week, it's best not to walk alone smile.gif

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Amen Brother. Praise God for another strong believer. I love the correct wisdom you just posted, God Bless!

In ancient times there was no standardized version of the Old Testament. Different Jewish groups and different regions had their own versions. There were the Septuagint, the Aquila, Theodotion's version and Symmachu's version, all containing different text and different numbers of books. The Old Testament used by modern Christians is based on the Massonetic version which only appeared after the Jamnia Synod at the end of the 1st century AD. The New Testament did not appear in its present form until the year 404 AD, nearly four hundred years after the death of Jesus. Before that time, the Gospels of Thomas, the Gospel of Nicodemus, the Acts of Peter, the Acts of Paul and a dozen other books were included in the Bible. In 404 AD these books were simply cut out of the Bible because they contained teachings that were contrary to Christian theology of that time. One of the oldest existing Bibles, The Codex Sinaiticus, includes the Epistle of Barnabas, a book that is not included in the modern Bible. If these books were considered to be revelation by early Christians why don't modern Christians consider them to be revelation? When we look at the Bibles used by modern Christians we find that there are several different versions. The Bible used by the Ethiopian Church, one of the most ancient of all churches, contains the Books of Enoch and the Shepherd of Hernias which are not found in the versions used by Catholics and Protestants. The Bible used in the Catholic Church contains the books of Judith, Tobias, Banuch, etc which have been cut out of the Bible used in Protestant churches. Prof H.L. Drummingwright of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in his introduction to the Bible explains how these books came to be cut out of the Bible used by the Protestants. These books were, he says, "in most Protestant Bibles until the 19th century, when publishers, led by the British and Foreign Bible Society voluntarily began to omit them". Once again, these books contained ideas which the churches did not like so they just cut them out. How can a book like Judith be the infallible word. of God one moment and not the next? Why are there so many different versions of the Bible? And which version is the infallible word of God?

unreliable source for truth to say the least
*
Well of course what contradicts Christianity teaching should be remove. The Book of Judith for example. What she does has nothing to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

To remove does not necessary mean it's an untrue event but merely does not relate to the Gospel Of Jesus. The main theme and everything in the Bible is about Jesus Christ.

Investigators may have discovered earliest evidence of Christian iconography in Jerusalem.

user posted image

Investigators using a robotic arm equipped with a remote-controlled camera have discovered what is being called the earliest evidence of Christian iconography in Jerusalem.

The newly discovered ossuary carries a Greek inscription calling on God to "raise up" someone, which is being interpreted as an early reference to the biblical resurrection of Jesus.

A second limestone box appears to show the carved image of a fish, which may be a reference to the biblical prophet Jonah. This would be a historical first, as references to the resurrection had not previously been discovered before the 2nd century.

Same with me...but then i realise that reward is actually in heaven, not in this world.
Rewards in this world, like wealthy, will only bring disaster in your life...
always remember God love you....

"who shall not receive a HUNDREDFOLD now in this time … and in the age to come, eternal life.” (Mark 10:29-30)

Actually if you don't mind I want to add:

nothing wrong with having wealth in this world for all Good things come from God.

Only Do not seek wealth overtaking God as your priority.

IN Fact God has mention in Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Meaning to say Don't seek wealth nor the material things of this world as your priority in life.

It doesn't say having wealth is going to ruin you. There is a difference.

A lot of Christians have misunderstood thinking Wealth and Prosperity is wrong to have.

But the truth is, God will bless who ever seek after him, can be blessing of health, wisdom, wealth, whatever.

One thing though, If God has given you blessing of whatever, including financial blessings do not ever say You do not want because it's like saying

You're resisting his Giving.

God Bless.

Well Praise Jesus for his goodness.

The devil will use anything even the things of God to twist and confuse believers.

Yes even to that extend.

That is why it is very important to know the word of God to set us free and to resist the Devil.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

I believe there's a movement in most of the Churches in Malaysia praying for the Nation.
We are also praying for boldness for each born again Malaysians in Christ to stand up for their statutory rights.

Recently I heard that the Bible in Malay was allowed by the government.

That is our God answering prayers!

As for Israel, I don't know what to say, All I know is that God is watching over them.

Those who have the heart to pray for Israel, should do so.

ok, for those who wan a better understanding about God commitment on Israel suggest you this book

Why Care About Israel? How the Jewish Nation Is Key to Unleashing God's Blessings in the 21st Century by Sandra Teplinsky
*
As what I remembered, the Israelites during Moses time encountered God through direct first hand experience.

They could visibly see the Glory of God. That wouldn't have taken much faith to believe because they experience God's presence travelling with them as pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. And God took care of them Fed them. That would have lifted up anybody's faith sky rocketing by today's standard.

Can't brain why the Israelites don't seem to get it.

But I believe every event have a purpose and their exodus is to teach us to trust in God dynamically for everything because the moment we try and resist God's will it will not cancelled his promise only delay it.

Their exodus of 40 years journey into the promise land of what could have only taken an 11 day journey proves it.

God Bless.

Romans 1:17 The righteous shall live by faith

Morning fellow friends.

Those who live for God MUST live by faith because Faith is the most important key ingredient and the very essence for any breakthrough.

For without Faith it's impossible to please God.

The things that you've been believing for, the things that you've prayed for will only come through your Faith in Christ.

And In conjunction when you believe that you've received your prayers even though not evident to the eyes but to the heart, ensure you walk in love and forgiveness.

For Faith without Love is powerless. Love would encompass all the meaning as written in the Bible.

God Bless.

Jesus was a real person in history was witness by Believers and Non Believers alike.

Pliny the Younger
Mara Bar Serapion
Thallus
Celsus
Galen
Lucian
Many More.

They were not part of the gospel but did make reference to Jesus in their writings.

The most prominent Believer Saul before he got converted persecuted all Christians to Death.

He was one of the most who hated Christ and would put anyone claiming to be a believer to Jail or punish severely to death.

And yet in his letters he witnessed Jesus who called him.


Jesus proclaimed He is the Son of God. Nobody in their right would want say something like that. Because what benefit do you get for claiming things like that?

Will you not be labelled as a Mad Man? But Jesus Proclaimed boldly. And He performed miracles in conjunction with his proclamation.

And yet the only reason He came into this world born of Virgin Mary (something impossible in the natural) is to tell the world that He will take your place and mine as punishment for our sins.

And He said in affect. No one comes to the Father (God) unless they come through me.

Those who come to God must have Faith. And faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see
. (Hebrew 11:1)

From that starting point, you will witness the things of God in your life.

I couldn't understand this principal until I took that walk of Faith and witness many miracles which boggles my mind.

Nobody knows if Mary is really virgin or not. Anyone can claim anything ina  book. As to Jesus proclaiming he's son of god, u have many people doing similar stuff in our age. The ajaran sesat islamic (forgot the name..sky kingdom or shit like dat) in terengganu with many wife did similar proclaimation.

I was delivered from the bondage of porn Addiction.

I destroyed every pornographic materials willingly without holding back.

I tithe (donation as you said) my business money to God and He bless me back in multiple fold.

Many times I'm in financial needs but yet God delivered and provided beyond my needs.

All these was my God who provided. Not by own doing.

To name a few.

Why don't you try and resist lust and porn, see if you can even resist more than 2 months.

If you can. smile.gif

That is no small matter.

That is why a lot of people still live by sight and have no success in their walk with God.
Nothing works out when all you know is living without Faith.
Even to have faith but not towards God will bring nothing to your life.

That's why I know you cannot, try as hard as you might and you will still find excuse to say it's in your nature. Of course those who are in Sin will feel that way to feel comfortable.

But Sin is destructive because Luke 11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness.

You feed unwholesome materials you will ultimately destroy yourself because from one sin it will lead to another. From one small little seemingly harmless fire it will spread to the point where it becomes uncontrollable.

Case and example porn will lead to lust and lust to coveting and coveting you will destroy those you love around you. That's why there promiscuity, cheating and unfaithful relationship.

Oh do not misunderstand.

God says (Proverbs 5:14)

Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.


Meaning to say only be sexually stimulated towards your own wife.

This means sexual behavior can be controlled. (something that baffles?) smile.gif

But those without God in their can never never get their own lust under control. No matter what you do.

Sorry brother if I sound harsh but this things I said is to God's glory. Because it's to tell you your by your own effort, you will never be able to do it.

I don't know how It happen in my life, I only know this deliverance is not from me but my God who gives me the strength.

I attribute it to God because I know myself very well. I would have not been able to stop myself from porn.

And it is justified because like I said in case you miss this.

Sin is destructive because Luke 11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. Case and example porn will lead to lust and lust to coveting and coveting you will destroy those you love around you. That's why there promiscuity, cheating and unfaithful relationship.

Don't tell me you desire something destructive? smile.gif
