The Oracles of Wisdom

[Haidabo]

Haidabo, I got you this debate is over.
Here’s what Jesus said:

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”​

— Matthew 5:11-12 (NIV)​

What Does This Mean?

• Rejoice and Be Glad:
  Jesus encourages His followers to respond with joy, not despair, when facing false accusations or persecution for His sake.
• Great Reward:
  He promises a great reward in heaven for those who endure such treatment because of their faith.
• In Good Company:
  Jesus reminds believers that the prophets before them were also persecuted, so they are not alone.

Why Rejoice?

• It’s a Sign of True Discipleship:
  Suffering for Christ’s sake is evidence of genuine faith.
• God Sees and Rewards:
  God notices every injustice and will reward faithfulness, even when the world misunderstands or lies about you.

In summary:
When people speak falsely against you because of your faith in Christ, the Bible says to “be exceedingly glad”—not because suffering is pleasant, but because it means you are sharing in the experience of God’s faithful people and your reward in heaven will be great.
Haidabo can't you learn to be good, humble, meek and loving? Haidabo my Lord will help you if you ask him to. God bless you Brother go in peace Amen.

I have never said one evil thing about you.
And you will be judged by your own words and actions.
Not mine.

 

[Haidabo]

Dear Haidabo,In general terms, someone who uses threats (including curses) to control what might be called a tyrant, oppressor, or manipulator. The Bible uses terms like "wicked," "evildoer," or "false prophet" for those who abuse authority or lead others astray.

1 Timothy 1:20
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander;
whom I have delivered unto Satan,
that they may learn not to blaspheme.

 

[Haidabo]

If you want to defeat evil
when it rises up against you
Overcome evil with good.
King Jesus taught this to me.

 

[Haidabo]

I use to quote verses from the bible
like you all do, I would spout them out
for everything.

Then one day the Spirit of God came upon me
and He said to me

If you are not living it
do not quote my word.
For that is taking my name in vain.
My word is my name.

From that day forward
I started living it.

 

[Haidabo]

The power is living in the word.

 

[Haidabo]

The Living Word

 

[Haidabo]

Your words are either alive or they are dead.

 

[Haidabo]

Your faith is either alive or dead.

 

[Haidabo]

Most of you have dying faith.

Just like your life.

Dying more and more as time passes by.

 

[Haidabo]

You have diluted your words
with idle words and words of no merit
to the point they have no power at all.
Not even when you speak them in faith.

 

[Haidabo]

God is a Holy God.

He requires His children to be Holy and perfect like Him.

He requires His children's conversations
to be Holy in all manner.

 

[Haidabo]

You can read all this in your bible.
This is not no new revelation.

 

[DavidLamb]

Most of you have dying faith.

Just like your life.

Dying more and more as time passes by.

How do you know? You don't know most of the posters here personally.

Is there anyone in your church raising the dead?

 

[DavidLamb]

Is there anyone in your church raising the dead?

Only God can raise the dead, whether the physically dead, or sinners dead in trespasses and sins. But what has that got to do with my question? You had written that most of us here (in your view) have a dying faith, and I asked you how you know that, without knowing the other posters here personally.

Are you doing greater works than Jesus?

 

[DavidLamb]

Are you doing greater works than Jesus?

No. Where did I claim that I was?

 

[LeeLoving]

Are you doing greater works than Jesus?

Someone's "small work" might be greater than Jesus' works. I don't know if you necessarily need to raise the dead or heal anyone. I don't know if you were saying this.

What small work do you say is greater than any work of Jesus?
Given us an example.

 

[LeeLoving]

What small work do you say is greater than any work of Jesus?
Given us an example.

Spending time with someone might be greater than all of Jesus' works. I don't know if I can explain it properly, but someone feeling loved because you spend time with them might be greater than everything Jesus did. Not to denigrate Jesus, but he raised the dead and healed the sick, but I get the feeling a lot of the time he was persecuted and rejected. He said people will do even greater works than these because he goes to the Father, spending time with someone might be a greater work than all of what Jesus accomplished.
