People loudly celebrating living their home country as always being a sign of a failed Nation, a produce of corrupt leadership and corrupt citizens .

@ehiswizy @lekan_olayinka1 Your nutshell in the first sentence is actually wrong, read his write up again. Communion has a place as a SYMBOL of the blood and body of Christ according to scriptures but shouldn't be taken with a literal definition and does not make for our salvation.

@lekan_olayinka1 In a nutshell, your opinion is that communion has no place in the church. Now, I'm not going to quote those same scriptures since scriptures in itself can be intercepted personally. For instance, you mentioned here that non of the reformers held the same view. You equally don't..

My chief, you misrepresented the truth when you said Calvin believed the Eucharist is a means of grace. Let me quote what he said in Book IV about the Catholics' idea of the nature of the Eucharist: "I now come to the hyperbolical mixtures which superstition has introduced. Here Satan has employed all his wiles, withdrawing the minds of men from heaven, and imbuing them with the perverse error that Christ is annexed to the element of bread. And, first, we are not to dream of such a presence of Christ in the sacrament as the artificers of the Romish court have imagined, as if the body of Christ, locally present, were to be taken into the hand, and chewed by the teeth, and swallowed by the throat." Calvin directly calls the Catholic view of the Eucharist Satanic. He found it Satanic to believe Christ's body is present in the bread and wine. What he did believe, according to the book you cited, is that the bread and wine are indeed symbols of an inner union with the Spirit in us: "Therefore, it is not the principal part of a sacrament simply to hold forth the body of Christ to us without any higher consideration, but rather to seal and confirm that promise by which he testifies that his flesh is meat indeed, and his blood drink indeed, nourishing us unto life eternal, and by which he affirms that he is the bread of life, of which whosoever shall eat, shall live for ever." So, it wasn't a means of grace to Calvin. To Calvin, what Jesus did at the cross was enough. You tried to appeal to the authority of the Reformers. They weren't unanimous. Luther held on to consubstantiation. He believed we receive the body and blood of Christ through the bread and wine. Calvin didn't. And Zwingli did not either. In fact, he held on to the most symbolic view of the Eucharist. I am saying appealing to the authority of the Reformation leaders is no argument at all. They all held differing views on its nature. Secondly, you said the seven sacraments have always been present in Scripture individually. Many things are present in Scripture. I can pick charity that James says marks the true religion and declare it a sacrament. But the seven summation is the issue. Jesus didn't list seven sacraments. The early church didn't list seven sacraments. No church father listed seven sacraments. Therefore, the doctrine of the seven sacraments necessary for salvation isn't like the Trinity that was retrieved from scripture. The trinity is explicit in scripture. Jesus said the Father is God. Jesus said He was God. Jesus said He would send the Spirit of God. From the Old to the New, the Trinity is everywhere. Furthermore, the early church fathers easily found the Trinity in scripture in less than a 2nd century AD. Why didn't they find the seven sacraments necessary for salvation? Why did it take 1,200 years before it was invented? As Ludwig Ott says, Jesus didn't command it. The early church didn't believe it. The church fathers didn't affirm it. It is an invention that has no scriptural basis. On taking Jesus' words literally: You said the audience reacted to Him saying they must eat His flesh and Him saying, 'My flesh is food indeed,' confirms its literalness. That's not true. The answer to your apparent misinterpretation rests in verse 35 of the same John 26: "And Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." Jesus mentioned bread, and He didn't follow it with eating. He did with 'coming to Him,' and then he who believes in Him will never thirst. Jesus was not referring to the physical ingestion of material substance, but rather belief through faith. Verse 54 drives the point of Jesus home. He was talking about eternal life: 54 "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." And we know that we have eternal life not by drinking the communion but by believing in His atoning sacrifice: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 Finally, your appeal to Reformers and John 26 to prove the seven sacraments and transubstantiation does not work. I will wait for the next argument.

Let us break their bands asunder, And cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision. Psalms 2:1-4 kjv

Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against his anointed, sayings;

@bushcoco01 @lekan_olayinka1 How has all the claims being proven false?we deal with fact not emotions. The US has backed up every of their claims on this war with proven facts including the elimination of the leaders of the terrorists regime in Iran, we have facts, now prove yours with factual evidence

@JohnSegun07 @lekan_olayinka1 We were told Trump attacked Iran because of Iran's nuclear program. Its been proven that is false. We were told that Trump attacked Iran because Iran was going to attack the US. That has also been proven to be false. We've been told that Trump want to unleash hell on

Let me do occasional US Army yapping here to just show you all how much America committed to save one person. A total of 155 war aircraft and 100+ special forces, like the Navy SEAL, were deployed. See the breakdown: 4 B-1 Lancer bombers 64 fighter jets (mix of F-15, F-16, F-35, etc.) 48 refueling tankers (mostly KC-135 or KC-46) 13 rescue/support aircraft (MC-130s, HH-60 helos, A-10s, etc.) 2 Commando II transport planes, landed inside Iran, got stuck, deliberately destroyed by US forces. 4 MH-6 / AH-6 Little Bird helicopters, destroyed on the ground by US forces. 2 Black Hawk helicopters, damaged by Iranian fire. A-10 Thunderbolt II ("Warthog"). 3 additional aircraft were scrambled to extract the teams after the MC-130s got stuck in the sand. The total estimate of the values of these is around $9-12bn dollars. 12 billion dollars for one man. It was so daring that the US team built a makeshift airbase inside Iran to launch operations from. Trump said the helicopter's rotors were damaged and the team built it up in 10 minutes. No other nation on earth can actually do what the US did. A French general said the US officials should stop sniffing cocaine when they discussed undertaking the rescue. Well, they did. And it will go down in history.

@bushcoco01 @lekan_olayinka1 Caught by who? and lied about what exactly?

@JohnSegun07 @lekan_olayinka1 Do you have any idea how many times trump has been caught lying about verifiable facts about the war? And you are the death toll classified ?

If falsehood does not bother you, perhaps truth does not matter to you as much as you think.

JESUS

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalms 1:3 kjv

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalms 1:1-2 kjv

@bushcoco01 @lekan_olayinka1 Well, the US did it and your unbelief is actually inconsequential, it doesn't change the fact.

@lekan_olayinka1 If you believe that the US did all that just to save one man then I have two international airport to sell to you for $10 each DM me

Ministry used to be about pouring out, even when it cost everything. Now, it sometimes feels like a calculated investment where the expected return is influence, comfort, and recognition.

The problem is not that Christianity is spreading. The problem is that it is spreading without depth. More people identify as Christians, but fewer actually follow Christ. We’ve made room for popularity, but not for transformation. Churches are full. Events are loud. Platforms are growing. But where is the fruit? Where is the evidence of lives that have truly been changed? Because if nothing in you has shifted your desires, your priorities, your obedience then Who exactly are you following?

God is good.

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? HE IS NOT HERE, BUT IS RISEN: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. Luke 24:5,6 kjv

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. Luke 24:1,2 kjv
