By one's actions, he or she will show whether he/she fears God. The fear of the Lord keeps one from evil. If one possesses the fear of the Lord, he/she will think twice before knowingly partaking in anything he/she knows is deemed evil/unrighteous before the Lord. Essentially, the fear of the Lord is manifested in the lifestyle of him who claim to fear God. It will keep him from: stealing, lying, bearing false testimonies, adultery, idolatry, fornicating, promiscuity etc.

Even as "some" Muslims are killing many of my brothers and sisters around the world, causing chaos and troubles--as can be seen in Nigeria and elsewhere--I am still obligated/commanded to genuinely love and pray for them[which I do]. There's not one single hatred in the teachings of Yeshua. But rather He said, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you. A genuine follower of Yeshua hasn't any bone of hatred in his entire body for his fellow human being.

I do disagree with this statement of yours: "Equating a religion with its adherents is a fallacy, undertaken only for subjective purposes." We can agree that it would be deemed purely hypocritical to say one thing and do another. As a matter of fact, genuine and true adherents of a religion is and should be a pure reflection/demonstration of that religion. If a tree cannot be known by its fruits, tell me, by what shall it be known? That statement can be compared to arming an arm robber with a gun and empowering him to rob, while at the same time being free of the consequences of his action and telling him, 'by the way, your action is not the manifestation of what goes on in your heart. Quite absurd!!

By birth, I presume?

For about 10 years now, in Kansas City, Missouri, a cry of intercession has been arising to the Throne of God. Beautiful melodies are being sung to Him. International House Of Prayer, Kansas City, has kept the Fire burning 24/7 for over ten years. I have personally been there, and can honestly tell you that God is there!

Recently, they made their live-stream free for all with watch around the world, if one simply have an access to the internet. To all who are interested, this is the link to their site.

What act exactly will earn you the pleasure of God? And what good act is righteous enough to erase the bad things you've done in your life? Truly I say to you, you have all the love of God that He has to offer. The question, however, is: have you received it? No righteous lifestyle can earn you any more love of God than that which He has freely given!

There's no such thing as a homosegxwal gender: there is male and female. If one insists that God made him that way, he only needs to look at his "equipment" and tell me how God made him that way with such equipment. As many have already said, this is spiritual battle. Don't allow the devil to win!

If God anoints women to preach His Word, let no man stand in their way! Jesus said, "whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." [Matthew 12:30 and Luke 11:23]. So, judge for yourself!

In your Bible, read Revelation 4:11. There's no hidden mystery to your question, friend!

Tithing is the giving of 10 percent of all one earns, be it in the form of money, fruits, animals, etc. In Malachi 3:6-15[for contextual background], God called the withholding of tithe, "ROBBERY". Malachi 3:10 says, "Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house." That is one reason to give tithe! As for the Law you mentioned, this is what the Book of Matthew has to say about it. Matthew 5:17, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Jesus did not erase the Law, He fulfilled it, and raise the standard so high that the Law looked like a dwarf next to it. Example of where we see this higher elevation of the righteous standard of God is in Matthew 5:27, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with a lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Jesus elevated the standard so high above the Law so that men may see and recognize that their righteous "acts" a.k.a the "Law" is incapable of leading them to God! Thus, it became necessary for ALL to acknowledge the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, that in Jesus--the only Righteous One--men may become the righteousness of God!

Animals do not have souls or spirits. If that were so, they would live forever just like Man! And if they lived forever, that means they would be candidates of the resurrection of the dead. From my Bible[the living Word of Ancient of Days] I have not read anything regarding the resurrection of animals on the last day. That leads me to conclude that animals do not have souls or spirits! Now, are there animals in Heaven? Yes, according to the Book of Revelation. As for where those came from, the Bible doesn't clarify, therefore, I am not authorized to make presumption. I hope this helps.

Only a lost and segxwally immoral generation will ask such a question. The line is so blurred that we can barely see clearly. If you look at women with lustful intends, you have committed adultery. A statement from the Master Himself. Now, what was your question again?

"please & please pals i need help bcos dis is eating me up & am tempted to double date in d event where d worse happen (my girl parent opposing me), at dsame time am afraid my girl will be highly disappointed in me if i cheat on her & even if she didn't know, i can't stand the guilt."

The fact that it entered your mind to double date as you are with her--even though in your defense/excuse, it will be to console yourself in the event where the worse may happen--tells me you probably do not love her as much as you think you do! If you care for her, fight for her, instead of giving thoughts and time to the possibility of disappointments. Most importantly, be utterly convinced and sure that this thought of a covenantal unity/relationship is from above[God]. From the view point of the Almighty God, it cannot be separated!

Indeed, he does not have to die. I believe in the Power of The Blood of Yeshua[science knows nothing about it]; he can be made whole by His Blood!!

Whoever posted this, classifying it as something funny, must be sick mentally!!

His Name is Yeshua Ha'Mashiach! He is the Judge of all th Earth. He will Judge the World in Righteousness and Equity!!

It is not either/or; it's both!

Of course, it is alright to seek an advice! The question is: from whom do you seek the advice? From an unbias source or one who is selfishly motivated? Truth is, any marriage/relationship that is built on the foundation of selfishness[what I can attain], instead of selflessness[what I can give] is destined to fall! All marriages/relationhips have their issues, but is the foundation established rightly?

And you want to be like first world countries because? Instead of wasting your time contemplating on how to satisfy your lustful desires, spend your time and energy pursying righteousness! I suppose you'll be alright if your sister a stripper? People like you are the ones who are going to drag this country through the mud of perversion!

Young man, you better stay away from that woman! How did we get to the place where we are unable to distinguish between what is holy and profane? If you act upon your urges and ruin a marriage, it is an unrighteousness. She is married!! Whatever you do, don't condole your fleshly desires; it would ruin you forever, if you give in to it!

Most on here will probably tell you what you wish to hear, but what I ask is: What business have you to violate[sleep with woman] a lady who is not your wife? A lady you've only known for less than a month? I guess such has become the norm in Nigeria, following the perversed ways of the western nations? If you truly loved her, you would care about her purity before the eyes of Heaven; but instead you gave in to you passion. Do you not know that you become one with a person you sleep with? Now you wonder why you can't move on? You need to repent of your fornication/sins and endeavour to live holy unto the Lord till the end of your days!
