Euthanasia properly understood, is eugenics by other means. The same ideology that spawned eugenics and mainstreamed culling the weak and frail as necessary and beneficial for societal progress now preaches murder on account of infirmity as an act of benevolence.

@Tiamiyu_Adeniyi@iredumare A major pilar of your religion says you should visit Mecca at least once, if Saudi refuses you visa how do you fulfil that pilar?
@Preacherrapper A man with no idea of scripture, boldly states "no Apostle taught believers to confess apart from John."
Apostle James: "Confess your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much". Jam: 5:16

DO WE CONFESS SINS TO BE FORGIVEN?
No Apostle taught believers to confess sins apart from John but what was John saying?
Pay attention.
“that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”
1 John 1:3 KJV
This is clearly an evangelistic text.
We enjoy fellowship with the father and the Lord Jesus, we are calling you to enjoy same based on our experiences.
“but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7 KJV
If we are in the light , that is , if we are saved.
The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
Automatically, not when we ask or confess our sins.
Now pay attention.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:8-9 KJV
If we say we have no sin….
Don’t mistake the word ‘we’, it’s doesn’t always mean ‘you and I’. It can be used to address others in a tone of corporate spirit.
This is clearly for those who deny their need for Jesus and salvation.
Self-righteous people who justify themselves.
The word ‘confess’ is to acknowledge.
Clearly this text addresses those in self-delusion that they are not sinners while they are.
They must acknowledge their sins and receive the saviour so they are cleansed from their unrighteousness.
Again. Who is the unrighteous one?
The unbeliever.
“For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”
Romans 4:3 KJV
Believers are not cleansed from
It’s a simple text.
Now, let’s assume you insist this text is to believers and not unbelievers.
Answer the following.
1. Are we unrighteousness?
2. Are we always sinning?
The text says if we say we have no sin, we lie.
Does this text mean we are sinning always and anytime we say we have not sinned, we lie?
If that’s your theory, then you are encouraging us to sin consistently for this text to be true.
The writer of Hebrew uses same tone.
“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.”
Hebrews 4:1 KJV
Yet he wasn’t speaking to all but to some.
The word ‘we’ is not always everyone.
If I say ‘we are manipulative in Nigeria’, I clearly don’t mean ‘I am manipulative’.
And I may mean we are all manipulative but the context shines through.
@Preacherrapper Heresy is hard to defend, you need lots of mental gymnastics as you are doing here. So Apostle John obviously included himself in the "We" but you are the one empowered to select the "we". You are foolish!
@Preacherrapper "He that believeth on him is not condemned: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18
It has nothing to do with condemning Satan, it is everything to do with believing in Jesus. Read.
@Preacherrapper Jesus warned that no one who lays his hands on the plough and turns back is fit for the kingdom. Jesus says turning back is a thing, but your theology says that's not true. So your theology is false. The proof of the calling is not the beginning, finishing well is the proof.
@Preacherrapper All of these is true in the light of scripture, it is incomplete till you follow through to the end. "For we are made partakers of Christ, IF we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" ''... but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
@JohnJames625635 @Preacherrapper @drmikeokonkwo You have no idea of what grace truly means, if you do you wouldn't need a word dress up, to enhance it with misleading terminologies in any way to improve its effectiveness. If you did, "My grace is sufficient for thee" is all you would need and stand for, not hyper-silliness.
@Preacherrapper @drmikeokonkwo No he is not a flippant man to preach your flawed theology. Show such evidence if any. Again, hyper- prefix is a silly distraction at its core. God's grace is exhaustive enough, but you know, many of you don't even understand it, so you need to dress it up your own way.
@Preacherrapper The scripture refutes your theology of once saved always saved severely..
It is a terrible teaching that overthrows the faith of many, read
1 Cor 10:1-5.
You should be very far away from handling the word of God in public.
@WhalliamFrond@VegasMorph You are well behind the curve, key argument leading to this prop is that #USTC is no longer a stable. So which is which? Seems there isnt even enough clarity. The current effort by ceramic seems the best approach at the moment. #lunc
@WhalliamFrond@VegasMorph Call it repeg, call it value recovery or whatever else you want. What exactly is the point of years of burning only to remint?
@NwokediBasil@TheGreatestIFE You're not smart. The only viable alternative to Obj at the time was Olu Falae. It was either Obj or Falae. Falae is Yoruba Christian.
@chidume7210 @Legithustlex0 @ClaireIJE@_Kamor The seven churches that Jesus wrote to in Revelatins 2, were they Roman catholic church? Who was their pope? Why did Jesus write to the seven angels rather than just write the pope?
@Wisemenmentors There is a risk warning on solflare that the creator of RLM has history of rug pulling. What's your take on this? Is it just FUD or real risk?
I'm genuinely curious.
