    God bless U Brother, It Was The Holy Spirit That Led Me To See. Many African's Will Get To Hell becos Of This!
    Right Now I Had a Tangle With My Village People, They Said I Should buy a Male Cow For My Ancestors For Cleansing.. because in their thinking, they said it'll usher in a new dawn & they coerced me but Never Will I. I'm Convenanted With Jesus! and I Stumbled on Isa8:18-19, Ps106:28. I'm Igbo From Nigeria 🇳🇬 God Bless You

    Amen Bro, you nailed it, I always make reference to Saul when he went to the medium to seek Samuel's guidance, Samuel couldn't give him the answers he was looking for but tells him of what he knew already and says go fix your relationship with God, but first he says why are you disturbing me, why are you consulting me now that the Lord has departed from you! , this has always been my conviction. I almost fell into the same trap but God never let go of my hand and even today I remain in his Glory. Amen

    - 1Cor13 says you can have anything and everything including faith that moves mountains and a genuine gift of prophecy, but without love you’re nothing.
    - Luke 10: 25-37: When Christ was tested, he agreed that the greatest commandment is to love you God and the second is like it, to love your neighbour as yourself. When asked who a neighbour is, he answered with the parable of the Good Samaritan.
    - Samaritans and Jews were like oil and water yet it’s the Samaritan who expressed love while the Jews didn’t. That’s love according to the law and according to Christ. So while you chastise those of a different belief, know that you’ve missed the whole thing, you’ve failed to love and with all that faith and knowledge, you’re nothing!
    - Christ died for all regardless of belief, that’s the kind of love he had. When he parted, he gave a NEW commandment, to love one another like he loved us. As we Bible bash each other, can we die for each other even though we’re of differing beliefs?? I doubt it and therefore there’s no love within us and we’re nothing.
    - Let it start and end with love, especially for us Christian (Christ-like). So face your front, work out your own salvation, and love everyone else regardless who they are, what they have or what they believe in. Posting this is simply expressing how we keep missing the mark as Christians.

      Oh you’re definitely missing this, you really don’t understand love, this is love, to show them the true nature of what they believe in, the number of messages I get from people saying “thank you for revealing this to us, we thought we were right but actually were lost”
      I myself thought African religion to appeasing ancestors was right, but that’s wrong, it’s a demonic practice
      You can still love and discipline
      You can still love and rebuke
      You can still love and correct
      You can still live and chastise
      5“and you have forgotten the divine word of encouragement which is addressed to you as sons, “My son, do not make light of the discipline of the Lord, And do not lose heart and give up when you are corrected by Him;”
      6“For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves, And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].””

      @@ChrisMarotola your response to the love matter is so subjective and not scriptural at ll. It’s Christ who told the story of the Good Samaritan. HE, not me, proclaimed that one of the greatest commandments is to selflessly love someone of a different belief. And Paul put it straight; with all your faith and knowledge, without love you’re nothing. So please address through which part of these scripture I’ve missed love. Mind you it’s scripture and not me, so you’ll basically be telling me how scriptures about love miss the point of love. Please respond with scriptural basis, the scripture you used at the bottom refers to God meting out love or punishment, not you, not me, not any human being, but God. And God does it when he deems it fit, you can’t decide for God what’s wrong and what’s right and who he loves and who he punishes. As Christians we need to let God be God and stop getting ahead of ourselves with superiority complexes, judgement and Bible bashing, he doesn’t need our help. These is the very behaviour that turns people away from God, so if you’re trying to be a fisher of men, you will have failed in this approach.
