@IzukennyBliss I’ve wondered about that too.
If God’s election is conditional, what conditions did they meet to make the Almighty God save them from his wrath that ALL mankind justly deserved??
@EmeritusTolu Reprobation is what EVERY ONE deserves, election is what He chooses to give to some, based on his Just and Wise will, according to his sovereign grace. Election is ACTIVE, reprobation is PASSIVE.
That’s what the doctrine of election teaches.
@BrotherPossible You should really be careful to ascertain “who did what”, and what TULIP is… I suggest you read on the Canons of Dort to even know how the acronym TULIP came to be… it’ll really help you.
@BrotherDavid19@adewaleShotobi He didn’t say he has figured everything out. He said Lekan shouldn’t teach when he still has much to learn. That’s him trying to protect Lekan more than trying to stop him from “teaching”.
Remember James 3:1.
It’s Easter Week. The most important week in history!
Don’t let people bog you down with a-historical silliness in the midst of focusing on what it’s all about.

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?
This video was made possible and in collaboration with my friends at @ChildlikeMedia.
So he is everything —a great man, a pioneer, a philanthropist, a pacesetter, and every other appellation— except an actual shepherd whose work it is to *transmit the deposit of faith*
and protect the sheep from devouring wolves?
** is the emphasis.
Coming to Jesus for money is as evil as coming to Jesus for supernatural powers. And they're as bad as coming to Jesus for better mental health.
All the above are false conversions. Prosperity gospel, power gospel and mental health gospel are all false gospels. Mental health gospel is just Gen-Z Prosperity gospel.
There is only one gospel and it is this: That the perfect beautiful God made creatures good and they became His enemies by choice. Though He ought to condemn and destroy them, He loved them so much that He chose to fix them instead.
So He came by Himself to remove what made us His enemies, which is sin and our wickedness. He took on the judgement we deserve so that we could live to be loved and not die. Then He fixed our hearts so that we could love Him and what is good.
And now we want to live for Him in riches or poverty, powefulness or not, mental health or not. We want to be well pleasing unto Him in all situations as we await His return when He will remove every poverty, mental illness and grant us immortality.
Before then, He grants relief in lack by providing. He heals and gives meaning in illnesses. He does miracles in and through us. But even when He doesn't, nothing changes because those are not why we came to Jesus.
We didn't come for the gifts. We came for the giver. We love Him with all our hearts and souls and minds and strengths. And we love nothing else. Nothing else can save but Him.
The true gospel leads us to value eternity over the temporal, union with God over this world, becoming like God over being comfortable. When you believe the true gospel, you will realise that anything temporal that is used to assure our eternity is a blessing to us even when it's uncomfortable or painful.
@lekan_olayinka1 Just provide a portion of the Scripture that validates this claim. You can’t.
Continue with your religion that the Bible doesn’t support.
