When the Bible says that 'whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed, don't take this verse out of context and apply it to your business, saying 'I will not be put to shame in my business'. This verse has a specific context, which is about believing in the Gospel
@The_Chi Zec 1:17, "my cities shall again overflow with prosperity"...
This is a promise of God's restoration of Jerusalem after judgment. It is about God's covenant blessing on his people. It does not say that people never heavy resources to lift the name of Jesus
@The_Chi None of the verses you cited say that Jesus is "lifted up" by financial resources. They may speak about prayer, generosity, and God's blessing, but that is very different from saying that Christ's name requires money to be exalted.
@kainoskistis@Aysamol@Duke_Tolu Yeah, sure, Paul calls us "God's fellow workers" (1 Corinthians 3:9), but that does not mean God needs us or is dependent on us. The context emphasizes that Paul planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6). We participate in God's work by His grace,
@onechilltechie This statement is problematic because it can subtly shift attention from God's sovereign power to human ability and financial capacity. Christ is not "heavy" in the sense that He needs human wealth to uphold Him; rather, He is the Lord who upholds all things by His power. Heb 1:3
This country amazes me a lot. In 2021, they made a mistake on my NIN, so I went to the local government office in Sango to correct it. They told me I would need to pay ₦45,000 just to change my gender from female to male😭😭🙏🏾. Omoooo
Someone quoted this tweet and said he will continue to correct Apostle Joshua Selman. I looked at his profile and just laughed. Some of you amaze me.
If your takeaway from this is that we want bad doctrine to continue and grow uncontested, then you have a comprehension or even worse a heart issue.
@Preacherrapper But Paul did not tell the Corinthians to simply affirm their righteousness while continuing in sexual immorality. He rebuked the sin and called for discipline. He told them to flee from fornication (1cor 6).
@Aysamol@Duke_Tolu I think the problem is that "partnership". It can simply mean equality with God or mutual dependence, or maybe shared authority. But God does not need us to accomplish his purpose. Rather he chooses to use us as instruments of his grace. Paul would say that "for it is God who

@Aysamol@Duke_Tolu works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. I think that's what Bro @Duke_Tolu was trying to say. So, as Christians, we try to serve the Lord and obey him. We are his servants, children, and instruments, not his equals in partnership or whatever...

Romans 6:1 NASB1995
[1] What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?
The biblical position is neither Legalism nor Antinomianism. We are justified by grace alone through faith alone, and the same grace justifies us and also trains us to
There is a popular pastor who kept smoking after he got born again.
He would confess he is the righteousness of God while he smoked and with time he broke free!
I say a believer who is fornicating is still the righteousness of God, they will begin their slander and start screeching like dark birds.
If a Hypergrace pastor gives that same testimony, the body of Christ will say it is his hypergrace message that made him smoke.
Whatever Hypergrace did to y’all in the body of Christ, you will still later confess.
