PoliticsRe: Governor Flogs PHCN Manager For Power Failure by Abbott(m): 10:59pm On Oct 24, 2012
A governor flogging a grown man with Bulala because his community did not have light? In Nigeria, in Two thousand and twelve 2012 AD? A state governor? Flogging a MAN, not his child, not his gateman, not his nephews, not his son, a manager! Kai!

Peeps, is Nigeria an emerging market?
PhonesRe: Nokia Unveils Lumia 510 For Emerging Markets by Abbott(m): 8:21pm On Oct 24, 2012
My problem with Nokia is that instead of releasing their products in all their major markets @ once, they will release in UK/USA and other countries in January and release in Nigeria and co in December.
If I was given Nokia Lumia 900 free of charge I wont collect it @ all. If they like when Lumia 920/820 is released, they should not bring it to Nigeria. Will just abandon them and chill for BB Aristo. smiley
Christianity EtcRe: The Wrath Of God: Discussion About Hell - Strictly Christians Only by Abbott(m): 7:44am On Oct 24, 2012
@ all, it is amusing reading back and forth the perspectives and angles of human beings. I very much doubt that we can all reach an agreed conclusion, however, very soon, we will all get to know what is the truth.

One thing is however true, perfectly true, God's judgment is JUST. Nobody else can experience the pains of miscarraiged justice over God. Our knowledge is also severely limited, lets keep that in mind and our minds struggle to comprehend an incomprehensible God which makes the purpose of this thread though educating but also liable to futility.

You could keep going back and forth and neither sides shifting ground on the nature of the second death. Non-existence versus eternal dying if I get both sides right. May God grant us understanding in this matter.
Christianity EtcRe: The Wrath Of God: Discussion About Hell - Strictly Christians Only by Abbott(m): 7:26am On Oct 24, 2012
truthislight: hell is grave and Jesus went to hell.
If hell is grave then somethings must be going on even in that place "hell" to the "things" there that is not good.
Christianity EtcRe: The Wrath Of God: Discussion About Hell - Strictly Christians Only by Abbott(m): 10:13pm On Oct 23, 2012
frosbel: My position is :

Sin is a blight on God's creation and quite horrific in all it's implications.

Before SIN there was bliss, no pain , no death , no tears , no wickedness.

With SIN came all the aforementioned.

God's heart was grieved and he had to do something to restore order while saving this new creature MAN from extinction.

If God had left MAN to stay in the garden and eat from the tree of life , MAN would have lived forever in a sinful state , perpetual misery and always under the wrath of GOD.

So God sentenced MAN to death and creation to corruption with the intent of saving MAN from a catastrophic end.

Romans 8: "20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God" - RSV

God prophesied the salvation of Mankind through his WORD from the seed of a WOMAN.

Between that time and now , God has always punished SIN , for example the flood that destroyed the people of the old world, fire that wiped out Sodom , judgement with pestilence, disease, wars and death.

In all this , it has grieved the heart of GOD that MAN chooses sin over life and so God keeps wooing mankind to him with LOVE to avoid the ultimate punishment which is death.

Ezekiel 18 : 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed against me, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of any one, says the Lord GOD; so turn, and live." - RSV

God's final plan through his SON is to cast all sinners both dead and alive into the lake of fire , to purify the planet from wickedness and inflict appropriate punishment on the wicked with the ultimate destruction of their souls.

The Wrath of GOD is the destruction of all the wicked with fire with the consequence of eternal death , which means exactly what is depicts , death or a cessation of existence.

Death is the enemy of MAN, this is the ultimate wrath of GOD against SIN, MAN's worst enemy as plainly implied in the word of GOD is not eternal torment, something which is totally unscriptural but DEATH.

This last enemy DEATH is so evil that it shall also have to be destroyed .

1 Corinthians 15 :54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

1 Corinthians 15 : 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death

Revelation 20 : 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;
We serve a true God whose judgment is not only just but also unquestionable, unassailable, unimpeachable and unappealable. Speaking of hell and second death and judgment, I want to quickly contribute the following.

Death means the act of dying.
Dead means lifeless, without life.
Then will I not be correct to say that a person that is dead as the Bible puts it, the second death is actually a spirit/soul that is killed by God and consequently, unexistent? If this line of thinking is valid, then such a soul/spirit cannot feel any punishment or any pain or any agony or misery because that soul is dead and is no more, even the soul/spirit! But then, following a more imaginable scenario, such a soul that has been opposed to God while on earth is punished by eternal death which means eternal dying and ironically, such a soul can never get to a point that it will become dead. The punishment I think is in the eternal dying coupled with the pain and agony and misery but above all, the abject absence of the presence of God. It is then peple will know that God is actually omnipresent, cos His omnipresence will never get to such place as hell after the second death.

However, a third thoughtheory is that there is actually a place for the dead, where God abhors with immutable hatred and it is not the place one will desire to be.
My thoughts though.
Still reading. Page 2.

CrimeRe: Would You Kill Robbers Attempting To Break In to Your Home? by Abbott(m): 4:00pm On Oct 18, 2012
Hmmm!
The position of the law is that self defence that leads to death is excusable and defensible as long as the force of self defence is proportional and the action of self-defence is not premeditated. Every matter is decided on the circumstances of the case. An armed robber armed with guns or any projectile can be resisted using proportionate weapon/projectile. That means:
pistol for pistol/shotgun
rifle for pistol/shotgun
machine guns/machine guns
machete for machete/dagger/axe
knifes for F cut knifes/"lebe" butchers knife etc

Anything that reveals premeditation like a planned assault long after the crime has been committed or gory, savage killings like the one in Apocalypto:when those guys were speared why trying to run into safe territory. If you have to defend, make it deadly, precise, immediate and swift.

Unfortunately for the OP, those phone models might not be usable in those years stated due to reasons beyond mere demand and supply. FYI, pushing an innovative product into the mainstream market place involves more than just the product. Other things like acceptance, government policies, etc also come into play here.

The world was not ready at that time to handle the fall-outs of such innovation. Just imagine an armed robber having access to such item. How easily would our today's security system deal with such considering the fact that all we have are fences and barb wires. They'd just fly in, steal, and fly out. Get my drift?
