Born Again, Why Do You Configure Your Phone For Free Browsing? | Should born again Christians configure their gadgets: phones, laptops, etc for free browsing? Is it not cheating?

Familiar Spirit N False Prophecy | FAMILIAR SPIRIT AND FALSE PROPHECYSaul once had the Spirit of God, but when he got away from God, an evil spirit came to him. There are people today who once were used of God, but later they began operating under an evil spirit.A certain minister I know was at one time used of God in the word of knowledge and the revelation gifts. He was visiting a church where I was preaching, and the pastor asked him to say a few words. While he was speaking, the Spirit of God said to me, "He has a familiar spirit."The minister said, "You think I am not a prophet of God? Why, your name is So-and-so. Your address is such-and- such. You are so many years old, and in your billfold you have so many dollars. Isn't that so?" The person said it was so. One man had a valuable diamond ring at home. The minister said to him, "You have a valuable diamond ring at home in such-and-such a drawer. God said for you to give it to me." The man knew that this was supernatural. It had to be God, he thought, so he got the ring and gave it to the minister. Charlatans line their pockets this way. But that was not God's power in demonstration; it was a familiar spirit.Familiar spirits are familiar with you. They know about you and they tell people things about you. By the same token, the Spirit of God could do the same thing through the word of knowledge if He saw fit to do so. But it would not be just a public display for mere curiosity. It would be for your edification, not to attract attention to a man, to cause people to think he is someone great, to line his pockets with money, or to put diamonds or watches in his hand. The gift of prophecy is real. It is good. It is right. It can be used for good. (Kenneth E. Hagin) | This is same spirit that controls miracles and healings that people thinkthey are from God but are not. There are genuine miracles of God but not common. | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Effects Of Technologies On Christendom. | Has the invention of technologies,such as t.v's,radio's,satelite's,plane's,jets et.c done more good to christendom than harm? Pls share your views... | Good afternoon Seeme,I am of the opinion that technology and science have done a whole lot of good to our very 'small' world and indeed Christianity in particular. Some people tend to blame science and technology for some of the ills in our society today but I don't think this is appropriate.In itself there is absolutely nothing wrong with the gadgets and means of transportation you mentioned above but like every other thing else, what makes something bad or good has a lot to do with the way we choose to use it.Our actions and intents make some of their use wrong. For instance, if I choose to use an aircraft as a means of transport, this is a good use but if I choose to use the same aircraft as a means to carry out a suicide attack similar to 9/11 then that action is wrong even though having an aircraft in itself is not wrong.Thank you! | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

They all said together, "we want to serve your God."Young soldier David was astonished, and asked what was going on.Captain crying loudly and opened the boot of the Jeep by showing David that the car had no engine.Then David said, "See! This is the Real God I Serve"MORAL LESSON:WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Have FAITH AND ALL WILL BE WELL.Press "LIKE" if you love God,and if you really mean it, then write, "I BELIEVE IN GOD

Mid-week Service & Christian Folly! | It's becoming a custom in the Christendom by how many churches schedule their midweek services to be held in early mornings of Mon-Fri when members ought to be in their respective places of work.

Clear Me On This 2 | Hey pals, i have a question dt has been on my mind for a while now; why did d jews have to interprete jesus' loud cry 'eli eli lama sabactani' as he calls elijah? Does it mean they didn't understand his language or what? | Again, this has been on my mind...jesus bore man's sin on d cross as i'm told, now i want to know, when he went into hell, did he go with d nature of sin since he bore d sin of man? If yes, then how come he defeated d devil who was above man (at dt point) cos of sin? What really happened? Did he die as man and descended into hell as god? Answers pls Does it really matter, sis?Anyhow, Scripture say that he was made sin for us who knew no sin. Both sides were completely necessary.How it worked out we will not accurately know until we have been glorified with Him. All we need to know is that He satisfied our responsibility to a Holy God and thus made it possible for us to commune with such a God again without any fear of destruction.It is only a guess that we can make at best about how His Death saved us, about what happened in the Grave. What we do know is that by Faith we can receive His merits as ours before God. And if we continue with Him in faith, His very Nature can be made ours actually so that we more and more rise above corruptibility and one day become every bit as incorruptible as He is.That is all we really need to know, that we must share in His Death (that is, in His doing away with sin, otherwise known as our claim to ourselves) and thus in His Resurrection (that is, in His incorruptibility).PS. Jesus triumphed over Satan because there was no sin in Him, that is, He laid no claim to Himself but was wholly His Father's to command. | 2 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

War In Heaven!!! | Heaven is supposedly a place of peace, a utopia of some sort, a place where there is no pain or any sorrow, but we are told in the bible that there was a war there once, in which lucifer an angel revolted and led a rebellion in which angels were fighting each other, and like all wars there were casualties, but lucifer and his cohorts were defeated and sent down to earth,This brings to mind a question that I have often wondered about, if there was war in heaven once, what assurance do christians have that there would not be another war again? What assurance do christians have that maybe one of lucifer's rebels( who was not cast down with lucifer in the first war,) would not start another rebellion after christians have gone to heaven?

How Yahweh's Jealousy Stripped Him Of Being The Only God | 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;Exo_34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.If indeed Yahweh is the only God in existence (am supposing Gods exist, which they dont), why is he jealous of other Gods who dont even exist?Yahweh stripped himself of the right to be the only God(even if Gods exist) when he said he is jealous and that his name is Jealous.If you are the only president of a country, and if you are psychologically sane, you'd not be jealous of other presidents of that same country. If you are then 1 of three things has happened:1. You understand you are not really the president, you are only nominal.2. You recognize other people sharing your post and so, you are not the only one with authority.3. You are insane.So for Yahweh to be jealous of other Gods means he is not the only Godin existence and his jealousy proves that fact that he knows this; or he is insane. But to not offend Yaweh worshippers, I stick with the fact that he is no God at all, he doesnt exist. The Jews made him up and failed wholly at it.Yours,Ooman. | Yahweh nd God r two different name,so mind the way u use it,if u wanna use God use it alone!

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;Exo_34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.If indeed Yahweh is the only God in existence (am supposing Gods exist, which they dont), why is he jealous of other Gods who dont even exist?Yahweh stripped himself of the right to be the only God(even if Gods exist) when he said he is jealous and that his name is Jealous.If you are the only president of a country, and if you are psychologically sane, you'd not be jealous of other presidents of that same country. If you are then 1 of three things has happened:1. You understand you are not really the president, you are only nominal.2. You recognize other people sharing your post and so, you are not the only one with authority.3. You are insane.So for Yahweh to be jealous of other Gods means he is not the only Godin existence and his jealousy proves that fact that he knows this; or he is insane. But to not offend Yaweh worshippers, I stick with the fact that he is no God at all, he doesnt exist. The Jews made him up and failed wholly at it.Yours,Ooman.

Should A Good Christian Drink Alcohol? | Alcohol or wine, should christian drink any substance with alcohol at all? Does God command non drinking of alcohol? Will a drunk make heaven?Let us be as objective as possible on this. No self justification. The word of the Lord will be light unto our path in Jesus name. | Luke 7:34:34 The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, aHeas a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!a John 2:9-10: 9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. 10 aA host always serves the best wine first,a he said. aThen, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!a 1 Timothy 5:23: 23 Donat drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.Of course we all know that Jesus also drank and shared wine with his disciples at the last supper, what else is there to say I don't know were people keep getting this silly idea that christians are not meant to drink when there are several examples of Jesus and his followers drinking in the bible andthere is not one single verse in the bible which expressly states that christians should not drink. The bible actually recomends drinking in moderation and not avoidance of alcohol. | 2 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

The Extent Of Restitution | on a sunday morning I was preparing for church when I heard, on the radio that about 15 born again Christians who returned back their waec result earned via cheating as they could not live with the ''sin''...believing, that was the fair way, they could restitute back such evil act..then it got to me, so many students,involve themselves in this act (cheating), especially on subject they found difficult... And eventually some of them began to believe in themselves and avoided such evil by studying hard and passing their exams by their own selves through out their days in the institution,believing also that doing away with exam malpractice would settle the past(what they had done before) and make God proud of them. Well I ask, do they stand justified ..or is restitution the only way to go about it? | If d holy spirit instructed them to do dat,then it is restitution without any doubt and we can't question God,for who hath known d mind of God or had been his councellor?it is better we all restitute all that we have in or d oda stolen or taken,i for one am not exempted,for these things dat we c and take as things dat do not mata matters alot with God,for his words says we will all given account of every careless words we utter and we shall give account of all we av done,so we all should restitute now while we still av d time for tomorrow may be 2 late | 2 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

I mean if your definition is that NT begins after the cross, some verses and chapters of Matthew, Mark ,Luke and John are after the cross.Four, is that most are not even agreed on the time the NT began. Is it at Calvary, after Christ's death, after His ressurection, after His ascension?

Atheism, some take offence when you tell them you are one.. Some even start looking down on you as a "lost" soul contrary to popular belief that atheists do this to the theists. For me, Atheism is the disbelief in the existence of a deity of any form or shapeI guess most of us are actually just agnostics at heart since no one can actually prove the non-existence of a deity of any form. However, I am convinced that our concept of god is flawed in so many ways beyond doubt to allow me the conclusion that no one group has the exclusivity to "salvation". Since they all claim it, they must all be wrong! simple logic I am not convinced there is NO "god" to be honest, but I am 100.1% sure Abraham's god isn't real. Also, if any deity exists I can put my foot down and say he has no influence whatsoever on our planet. Religion is only a poor attempt by desert dwelling ancient minds to comprehend the world they lived in. I reach this conclusion by merely looking at the history of this god/gods and how he/they came about. The information is available for anyone interested to do some research. It is appalling that majority of Christians and Muslims alike have no idea how their religion came about or how it started. For the Jews, I can pardon them because Judaism is more of a culture than a religion to them hence everyone else has no excuse to be ignorant.That's my fundamental reason for disbelief in a "god". My idea is simple.. if the foundation isn't real, then everything else about it is hogwash.Put that aside and I can come up with loads of reasons why i don't believe in god | 2 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

I pray that GOD forgive you your sins and bring you to a place of filling your emptiness, that you want so much to fill. May His grace arrest you, and mercy be abundant in your life.

Amen Why are saying you love me? Are you gay?I also pray that god forgive my sins. Don't worry, I know how to fill an emptiness, ask Nkechi, my mistress.

She comes from a country in Asia that is highly atheistic.We hadnt seen each other for over a year and after seeing each other we went to have coffee (I hate coffee ) together. This girl hardly sows emotions due to a traditional Asian culture she grew up in. When I told her that I was done from christianity, she smiled. It was rare for her to smile at a controversial topic of religion. We both paused for a moment and looked at each other as if we both had confessed that we were in love to each other...................if at this point, you are hoping for the story to get romantic or for me to mention that we kissed, go to the romance section I told this story because I have two contrasting thoughts now. ~The first thought was that getting atheist together for a convention would be difficult as atheists are only held together by a disbelief in god. However, a disbelief in god was able to start something between two platonic people. So what can bring atheists together, is a disbelief enough or we need to have something more? | Ofcourse. I can. So, take that little sarcasm about your name too.Hehe.lol | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Jesus - What Kind Of Sacrifice Are You Talking About? | I got this from the why won't god heal amputees forum. . . .I really want to hear Christians respond. How is it that you think Jesus actually died for your sins? According to this story, the guy didn't stay dead. What kind of sacrifice is that? In the OT the slaughtered cattle didn't come back. Now, a God named Yahweh supposedly made everything (knowing what would happen), and planned it all out so that it would happen just the way he wanted it to (his "divine plan" just so he could come down and sacrifice himself, to himself, then preach to some people in hell for three days only to come back to life? Does this honestly make any sense to you? If so, how? A real hero would actually stay dead. His sacrifice would be a true loss for him (i.e. - he would lose everything in order that we would gain) - but that is not what happened according to the bible. God didn't kill himself so that we could live. So, why should we think this story is true? Doesn't it just sound more like foolish men made it all up (just like in other religions)? Christians, please help us non-believers understand why you believe this story (what good reason do you have) and why should anybody think it makes any sense? | Lol.I remember asking a Christian this same question a year back when I was, erm, still agnostic. His reply was that the TRUE sacrifice was 'GOD' becoming 'man' and taking the shame on the cross. His 'resurrection' is proof that he is GOD. Christians, thank me later. | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Would You Have Believed Jesus To Be The Son Of God If You Were Born In His Time? | I always wondered why the jews/pharisees/saducees refused to believe that Jesus was/is the Son of God. Was it because the belief that God had/has a son sounded ridiculous to them or were they just spiritually blind. They were expecting a messiah that would free them from the oppression of the Romans but instead they got someone claiming to be God's actual son. So, a thought came to my mind, what if i was born during the time of Jesus? Would i have believed His claim of being God's begotten son? it would have been hard for me to believe cos I would have asked Him a lot of questions. Questions about God and the purpose of man in such a large universe. To be honest as much as i would like to delude myself that i would have believed Him, i don't think i would have believed (maybe that's the reason i wasn't born then). So over to Christians (and every other person) would you have believed Jesus to be the Son of God if you were born in His time? | Lies. And the Pharisees didnt read the scriptures abi? Remember that their scriptures were no adulterated like the ones you have now. The pharisees did read the scriptures but Some were not attentive..........they were proud and belligerent and so could not discern that the messiah was In there midst....... some knew that the man Jesus was infact the promised messiah but there wicked hearts could Not let them publicly agree to that fact...........________________________________Every sincere hearted Jew that existed in Jesus' time could tell Jesus was the promised messiah............. | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

I've done it before and I'd do it again. And I've only ever done it to help people, not to get a free HIV and Hep B screening. The only thing I'm religious about is using condoms so I know I dont have HIV.Lots of people are going to come on this thread and claim that they'll happily donate. But when their neighbour gets hit by a danfo bus and needs blood, they'll start stammering and giving excuses. If you're such a good Christian/Muslim how come you've never strolled down to the nearest general hospital to donate blood?There's too many hypocrites among the religious people. All talk and no action. ### END CONVERSATION ### |
HELP MY Friend:he Hopes He Dosen't Offend GOD By Doing This | My friend has chronic anxiety when talking to new people which makes him stutters severely, he can't talk to girls in class and he always rely on us because we understand him. Though he stutter a bit when talking to us but you can hardly notice it, but talking in class and discussing issues in public he starts stuttering.His doctor prescribed anti-anxiety drugs for him but he has to use it everyday and its getting addictive, without his medication he ll start stuttering in public again, his pastor keeps motivating him but he still not satisfied.THE MAIN DEAL is that he wants to go and see an HERBALIST to cure his problem, PLEASE WILL GOD FROWN AT HIM GOING TO AN HERBALIST, pls need your opinions? | Herbalist or Pagan Priest? They can be two different things. I know there is a difference because my grandmother was an herbalist but not a pagan priest. If he is going to get herbs mixed to help with his anxiety, this is different form him going to have spirits invoked by a pagan priest on material/herbs for him to use. The first is purely medicinal and is acceptable while the latter is spiritual + medicinal and not acceptable for anyone who professes to be Christian. | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

What Do You Tell Someone Who Accuses You Of Worshipping Statues? | Someone told me the other day that Catholics are idolaters because we kneel in front of statues to pray, which means we are worshipping the statue.I told him that meant kneeling by your bed to pray is worshipping your bed, and praying at the table before meals must be worshipping your food. That actually helped him understand that you aren't always praying to whatever is in front of you, and I used the opportunity to tell him that we worship God, but we simply ask saints to worship God on our behalf.Of course this individual was not converted, but I honestly think he has more understanding of our faith than before. I always find it useful to use humor to get people to see your side of an issue. I just thought I'd like to share that, and see what others have experienced in issues like this. What do you tell someone who accuses you of worshipping statues? | dont try d above with ijawkid and frosbel, they are more interested in condemning u than in seeing ur perspective.No offence meant to ijawkid and frosbel bt d truth is what it is.Lol....we aint angry bro....I'm not in any battle with the catholics actually.....its just that bowing down and chanting before images is just against what Jesus would do...its plain idolatry......Jesus didn't need the help of an image before he could approach his Father....we don't need items to be right in front of us before we can approach our heavenly Father.....As I can see the catholics are not confident enough that Jesus can do his mediator Job any longer and so bowing down before marys image becomes important.....need I remind you guys that we are to worship God by Faith and not by sight.......we don't need images to help us get to God...images are inanimate objects made by the hands of man........they are lifeless and USELESS........ | 3 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Advice - I Was Intimate With My Best Friends Wife | I'm posting this on this thread as I need advice from the God fearing folks here, who I hope will be less judgemental, though I'm aware that I have betrayed a very good friend, let myself down and sinned before God I am married to a very beautiful woman whom I love so much. We are both based in Washington, though I visit the UK from time to time where I have some investments. Over the past 3 years, on 3 occasions, for some inexplicable, selfish reasons, I was intimate with my friends wife on a number of occasions we met in Washington. Though there was no actual s3x (I refused to go that far), we got really intimate on a number of occasions as I was caught up in a moment of weakness and adventure, which I now regret so very much. I feel I have betrayed the trust of a close fried and that I will never be forgiven by God. I also feel that I'm now being punished by God for this careless act. I have pondered confessing to my friend, and have decided against it as it will almost certainly ruin their marriage - they now have four kids.I definitely do not want to confess and break up his home - instead, I constantly pray to God to forgive me for what I did, for committing such a grave sin, as I know there are grave consequences for betrayal of this kind. Will God ever forgive me? What should I do? | Can't even get anything meaningful from ur post here........ Are u saying God can't forgive all kind of sins? WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT TELL YOU GOD FORGIVES SINS ?GALATIANS 6 VS 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reapCOLOSIANS 3 VS 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons | 3 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Why Do People Become More Spiritual When They Are Poor? | I'm not trying to generalize here.

Does The New Testament Completely Rule Out The Significance Of The Old Testament | Does the new testament completely rule out the significance of the old testament?As some people just focus more on the new testament and maybe once in a while make references to the old testament! | The old testament is a beautiful book showing the universal and personal aspect of God and his relationship with his people who are called by his name,it reveals his love,mercy,jealousy,compassion,greatness,power,creativity,diversity,his supremacy,his will,his presence,his anger,his goodness and all that he is.The old testament is a recommended read to know the mind of God for us.

Finance And The Christian [should The Christian Be Rich Or Poor?] (family Only) | Ok. It's a major theme in some branded churches that the Christian should not be poor, but be very rich. And I have seen at least one atheist say that the Bible requires the Christian to give up everything and become poor. Also some poor dude was on this forum a little while ago complaining that it was ungodly men that were rich and it was a sin for the Christian to be rich. So I think the issue is quite relevant.Should the Christian be poor? Or should he be rich? What does the Bible say? What do you say? | No one should be rich. You work hard to get rich... or you get an inheritance.. or get lucky... No one is born with a right to be rich.. not even getting 'born again' would do that... | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

British Commander: IDF Most Moral Army World Has Ever Known | BRITISH COMMANDER: IDF MOST MORAL ARMY WORLD HAS EVER KNOWNRyan Jones : Jul 25, 2014 : Israel Today"No other army in the world has ever done more than Israel is doing now to save the lives of innocent civilians in a combat zone."IDF(Israel)aCol. Richard Kemp, the former commander of all British forces in Afghanistan, is in Israel this week to lend support to the military campaign in Gaza and to take on take on detractors who claim the Israeli army is perpetrating war crimes there."No other army in the world has ever done more than Israel is doing now to save the lives of innocent civilians in a combat zone," Kemp said in an interview with Channel 2 News, adding that when world leaders demand Israel do more, "perhaps Israel should ask what more it can do."Having served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Kemp is intimately familiar with exactly the kind of enemy Israel is facing, and the environment in which it is fighting."Islamic extremists around the world use very similar tactics," the retired colonel explained, as he recalled Taliban using young children to attack his troops. "British soldiers have fought exactly this kind of enemy in Afghanistan and in Iraq. British soldiers understand what Israel is doing."Kemp went on to accuse some in the mainstream international media of culpability in Hamas' war crimes."The media, in some cases, bear responsibility for the killing that's taking place, because they are themselves projecting Hamas' desired propaganda," he said.Asked if he felt Israel could achieve total victory, if it could force a Hamas surrender, Kemp sounded doubtful."Inevitably, Israel's inexorable military force driving into Gaza will lead to the surrender of Hamas," he stated, before going on to note that such an outcome depended on far too many external forces.Could Israel accept the large number of soldiers that would die in such a war? Could Israel withstand international pressure long enough to achieve total victory? These are questions that many in Israel have long asked, and few believe that "yes" is the answer to either.Source: Breaking Christian News | That British Commander is a cow if he truly said that!! | 1 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Please All True Christians On Nairaland,my Friend Needs Your Honest Advise!!!! | My friend sam is in a relationship with a lady that he loves so much and she also loves him too but the problem is that they have different beliefs when it comes to matters of tithes and offering especially tithes.My friend believes tithes were practised as a requirement in the old covenant and was used as a means by God to feed the levites and priest who had no allotment in the land,he also believes that after christ resurrection,the temple became non existent, so he was not required to tithe but rather offer free will giving and contribution as his heart leads him.The lady believes that tithes after christ ressurection became a principle and so still keeps tithing....its now turning to an everyday debate and its almost threatening their relationship of 3years(note:both are very good christians)..please how can they reach a compromise and agree on what to do or whats the way forward for them?Please your sincere advise and contributions are welcome! | @DrummaBoy, weldone @OP, I think you have enough materials from all advice proffered here to help your friends make a decision. Its not such a big deal if both of them know tithing is NOT important to the Christian life. When I told my wife I stopped tithing, she was aghast and very afraid for our finances. However when she got a job some few months after and saw that I didn't lose my job as she expected, she relaxed. I didn't make it a law for her to stop and she didn't even let me know when she stopped though she still reserves 10% for God's work(as she calls it), but Mal 3:8-12 no longer scares her.I pray your friends realise God needs them as a whole sacrifice to him, not just 10% of their cash. | 4 | Religion | ### BEGIN CONVERSATION ###

Will Jesus Have Bought A Jet? | I am wondering if Jesus had existed in our times, would you think he would have bought a jet? | @OP, i dont think He would have because He said: John 18:36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." The NT teaches us that He had no fixed home since he traveled around preaching, teaching and healing."Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." (Luke 9:58)Todays Christ-likes have place to lay thier head, but this is not enough, they accumulates materials as if They are not willing to join thier master in His Kingdom. King David said, All these are vanity and vexation of the heart.Ecclesiastes 2:11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.Ecclesiastes 2:17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me.
