Troynow: This is idolatry. Is dier salvation now based on Pastor Chris? If he was something else other dan a pastor,won't God hv raised someone else? If Pastor Chris is not dere,is God no longer there? And dey say dier christians. Wat an excuse.

cheddarking: This is 21st Century Idolatry....

A collective effort by his customers church members to kiss his well-groomed asss...

Sam Milla: His pictures are on every Christ embassy Church all over the country. I think that gay pastor loves to show himself and his new suits.

jamace: If govt claims members of BH are faceless and now somebody is negotiating on their behalf, hope govt is not falling into the hand of a 419ner?

WebSurfer: Nigeria need to learn from a country like US, where they would never negotiate with terrorist, n have their security tighten up instead, God help us, if they succeed on this, They should expect another Worse Group underway.

ReeOde: Good morning everyone.
To be blunt, i'm a muslim, and i am not here to antagonise your bileive, rather i only wish to share a few comments for the best.
And pls pardon me if i vexes you.

First of all, DRESSING is the issue and what does it means?
According to Oxford A.L.D (6th edition), it means: "the act of putting on clothes (the things that you wear, such as trousers/pants...)."
But the bases is, why do we have to dress?

Genesis 3:7 (The King James 2000 Version) - "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were NAKED; and they sewed fig leaves together, and they made themseleves aporns". And so on Genesis 3:10-11.
Further more, in Genesis 3:21, "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God MAKE COATS OF SKIN, AND CLOTHED THEM."
From the above chapter/verses, it is now known to us that the essence of dressing is to clothed ourselves from our unclothedness.
NAKED on its own is another topic which we have to understand. We often think that our breast and our sexual organs are what constitute or defines our private parts or unclothedness but we are wrong and that is absolutely where the problem lies.
WHAT IN OUR BODY MAKES US NAKED?
It is stated in the Qur'an (Allah's words reveal through Angel Jubriel [Gabrel] p.b.u.h) and also explaned in the Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammed, peace be up him [s.a.w]). That's why our women have to dress up in Hijabs (such that it will cover their bossom).
From our worldly desires and influences, some amongst us are now trying to blend in their wears to suit that of civilization which is leading us astray.
In Islam, every part of a woman's body is her unclothedness (but it's enough for her to reveal her face, hands [wrist]); as for a man, starting from is knee to his chest. It is subjected to further explanation as explaned in the Hadith.
To sum it all, in Islam, i must concentrate more on the women, everything that makes up their beauty is their unclothedness (even their body shapes) and that is why they are not allowed to wear a fitted cloth.

...DOES OUR DRESSING REALLY MATTERS?
Yes it does, and why?
From Psychological analysis, one's body becomes emotional inclined, attracted, moved, erected...from seeing the unclothedness (beauty) of an oppsite sex, even same sex probably he or she is more beautiful or handsome than we are. These mixed feeling brings about temptation that could actually make one go extra mile in order to satisfy and balance his/her thin and thick. We can do and undo as a result of that.
Also, the young ones live by what they see and what they learn from us, and when we get it wrong, then we are distroying their future and as well, others to come.

A Sin doesn't stay stagnant, it increases and get worse. Starting from Adam and Eve, the forbidden friut, and now it is Adultery, Fornication, Shirk, Homosexuality e.t.c.
We just have to be fearful of God, separate His want from ours in order to get it right. Let's try to imagine the dangers our future generation could incure from our own err.

We have our views, may God guide us aright and forgive me if i've in anyway commented wrong. Ameen

luluosas:
May God have mercy on you and open the Door of GRACE through Jesus Christ for your soul. God loves you and He desires your repentance today. Give your life to Jesus and be save.

aryzgreat: My dear it matters, Pastor Chris Oyakilomhe and co are leading many xtians astray. The bible said " if ur right hand will make u sin cut it off, if ur eyes will make u sin, pluck it. likewise if a sister's dressing will make a broder sin, y not tell d sister to dress normal? how will u feel in a church listening to d word of God and ur biro falls and on bending to pick it u are seeing sister,s boobs simply because she is wearing "spaghetti hand to church, for some seconds ur mind will go off track.

The OP: You Christians are just a Bunch of lawless pips who just want do away with Gods laws. Saying Jesus never condemned bad dressing , well that's b'coz women weren't dressed half naked at his time. When you watch plays about the life of Jesus Christ on chrismas , do you see how Mary and other women were dressed?

Or imagine a lady dressed in mini skirt and a backless cleavage revealing top approach Jesus for counsel , do you think he will support such mode of dress and pass it off as being covered by his grace?

You all just finding excuses to blend-in with the ways of the world ; the ways of Lucifa.

iheanyi4u: Ok I think it matters cos we are the light of the world and we have to shine in everything we do.
Now its ok to come as you are but its not ok to remain the same way you came. The Word is supposed to effect changes in all aspect of your life including your dressing!

illicit:
Crap!
why shd u go n enjoy all dis in a place u aint even sure exists after u died in a plane crash here and ur God cant or wont help u cos he didnt cause it.

Slickest: Oh yeah it iz nd eva wil b...don't get it mixed up...d violent acts of some muslims doesn mean dat dat iz wot islam teachez...ar u blind?

blogger1.0:

A very thrilling post you have up there.
But if you weren't lazy enuf to go through the whole thread, you would have read where a poster said the same above bolded to me.
The fact that i am rational and think far and wide doesn't make me less of a happy man does it?

cyrexx:

evil spirits are not born like human spirits, you know.

besides can you define a spirit?

traeces: Well I used to think like most people here until I began to experience the reality God is when I began to hear his voice, see his acts in response to my petitions, experience his wondrous glory & touch & generally enjoy his presence. Then I understood what the psalmist meant when he wrote in Ps 84:10 "For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness" Friends, what God has prepared for those who love him beats the Imagination & you'd better be preparing for it.

true2god: Jesus quoted the torah on the word of God to Moses in Matthew 22;32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jabob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living'. Remember that all these pple had died long before the time of Moses. And yet God affirmed in his word that he is their God and dat they are living. And let not forget when David was mourning the death of one of his sons, he said his son cannot come back to him and that he is the one that will stil go and meet him (2 samuel 12: 22 to 23). Wat about Jesus' own word to the pharisees: 'your father abraham saw my days and was happy'. Yet Abraham died hundreds of yrs before Jesus came to the physical earth. Hw did he see Jesus' days if not in the spirit realm since both of them did not share the same earthly period. On the mount of tranfiguration the spirits of Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus in the bible. All these facts are clear evidence of life after death and the continuation of life beyond the physical realm. All major religions and our african tradition attest to this fact but in a slightly different dimension. We need to understand that if life ends in this present world den the activities of money ritualist, hired killers, lootin politicians, serial murderers, armed robbers, occultist and the rest will be justifies as means of survival in this present world. Jesus asked: wat does it profit a man if he gained the whole world and lose his lose or wat shall a man give for the exchange of his soul. That means that human soul can be lost and human soul is more valuable than the entire universe. If human soul or spirit exist only in this physical world that means that christ was wrong in his statement. I always choose to use the word of christ on immortality because he is the only one in the bible that spoke volume about soul and immortality and he was before the beginning of the world system and order. In order word his word is more weighty on this topic.

Vicmareal: @cyrex. Do not b carried away by VAIN ARGUMENT, for this reason God will punish the children of disobedience. Ephesians 5:6. As it was in d tym of Noah, it is today. We didnt cme by our consent, we will nt depart by our consent. We blong 2 God en shall account 4 wot we say no matter how convincin. If evil exists en human sacrifices re real, then u can't deny D place of Righteousnes en Eternal judgement

Gee123.:
PLS NOTE:
1. Christianity is not a Religion. It simply means living the life of Christ.
2. Eternity is sure and Heaven and Hell are the two side of it.
3. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. No one will get 2 Heaven by surprise or accident.
4. GOD is not going 2 roast his creatures in Hell, its a matter of ur choice. "...I Have set b4 u, Life and death, Light and darkness. choose u this day whom u'll follow but i'll advice u choice Life..." what u choose u get.
5. Remember each day of ur life here no earth u're writting the script of ur eternity by ur actions, words etc.

Don't let the Devil lie 2 u by telling u that eternity is not real. Its a lie from the pit of hell. Choose this day whom u'll serve and Jesus is the only way 2 God the Father. And He alone has the power to save. My dear make ur decision b4 its 2 late. Your Life here no earth is just 2 prepare u 4 eternity. Real life starts in eternity. God Bless.

akigbemaru:
You need to do a reality check on yourself my sister, because you are so gullible. Check yourself again and see how you have been brain-washed. If your Jesus was about taking everybody to heaven, why not merging all the Christians of the world together?
Why is that there is disparity? First, iv tried much here 2be diplomatic without any form of insolence so i crave ur indulgence and also implore u 2carry ths consciousnes too cus i see ths as an interactiv platform where views and ideas ar share wit all bein entitled 2his opinion. D reality check u suggestd 4me here was rather unreasonabl and irrelevant, cus in d real sense& truth to tell, U r d one who nids that reality check, bt enough of dat and nw 2 d subject matter. Wat do u mean by mergin xtians and wat disparity ar u tokin abt?. I wish u cud be mor explicit bt in anycase, i clarified ths question earlier wen i stated dat satan and his cohorts ar all out 2fight d body of xst, whch is christianity, d church. And they ve so strategised their plans by causing disparity among them and other negativ issues. Al negative thngs u see happenin in d christiandon ar vices of devil, his weapon 2fight God's chldren frm going 2heaven. And as i stated earlier, d bibl says" d devil moves tho and fro lukin 4who 2devour" and d bible admonishes dat we shud nt be ignorant of his devices. Bt d devil only takes hold of weak and feebl xtians 2achiev their goal. Its only wen u give in that they take advantage of u. So my dear, Jesus is not d one causin any disparity, bt its satan thru men who hav given him d access. Ths is true and real and i pray u come 2ths knowlege soon.

samkoro: Believe me,what we do not know is infinitely greater than what we know.Lots of things exists beyond the human flesh and our existence here on earth.Years of personal experiences and experiment has thought me that.The least knowledgable animal or human knows that one day he/she/it will cease to exist on earth.

I experimented on a simple breathing instructions to to elevate my vibration to open up dimension and the result was a clear evidence of soul travel.I had a spinal pain(evidence of the soul not fitting in with the body after returning) at the neck after waking up from a long dream after the exercise.Its all about the extent we can minimaly experience some existence beyond our conscious flesh.

Now ,eternity on Jehovah's side through Jesus Christ the messiah is ecstasy in paradise.Its also a condtion of brightness of things in true colours as never seen before,its fascination miLlions of times greater than the greatest sex,a comfort beyond experience ,and feeling of energy and power beyong what any drug on earth can make you feel.

An eternity like paradise is so peacefull and exciting-full of emotions u can't describe with human words.We often feel some flashes of ecstasy in seconds we cannot describe or find difficult to describe to someone.Like when on the side of the still waters on a bright suny weather with beautifull flowers and butterflies,colourfull birds etc In such environments we hardly tall cos we feel something beyond the noisy city hustle and bustle.We feel certain peace and closeness to nature that was long lost.The above is an analogy of what paradise is.

In all these,any rational human being will wisely understand that paradise is not for impure minds,stained and darkened with the blood of the innocent.Its not for those who are in a religious system that claim to be a religion of peace but gladly supports murder and paradise of 72 virgins.

Paradise is a place that only the emulation of the lifestyle of Jesus Christ-which is peace,love and forgiveness can lead u to,and not murder,vengeance and hate,honor killing,child abuse,slavery as prophesed by mohamed

Mahatma Ghandi: The interesting thing about this thread is that it has for allmost 4 pages been devoid of tribal war and almost none existent personal attacks,and am asking myself where are the war lords? Interesting thread though,am really enjoying it as for my opinion I start by quoting someone that said "even if we found ourselves in a situattion where there is no God it will be necessary to invent him" no God means no eternity and everything in the entire universe will be a function of coincidence,come on guys the rhythm of the universe is too organised to be a coincidence someone somewhere must have made it so,I strongly know from all I see that there is God and if so then eternity is sure cos that is where he lives,if there were no God n I choose to believe in him no one will penalise me but if there be God and I choose to ignore him then the consequences will be grave and it is better to be safe than sorry. I hope what I just typed some how lends credence to the existence of an eternity

blogger1.0:

Bro i am not dead, so i don't need to be born again
#if you knw what i mean.

cyrexx:

but you know that human spirit has a definite beginning at birth, don't you think it will have a definite end at death, since whatever has a beginning must of necessity have an end?

what do you think

Wateron: I can see this is a thrend for those that believes not in God. Well it's take deep thought for u to understand somethings. For instance in Islam Allah has told us dt before u enter into aljannah HE will clense u of some of your Human feelings n remove traits like jealousy, enmity from ur heart.

For the guy dt said how do u feel knowing dt ur family member is in he'll roasting we will feel dt way as human living here bt when it's time for eternity all these thought will not come the only once u will remember r those dt r in d paradise with u. It's one of the reason Allah referee to us as those who believed in the unseen n it's a fundamental of being a Muslim. U night want to say dt why shd I believe in the unseen bt I want u to ask u this question, where u there when the earth was made? U find ourselves in this world u herd something's abt this world n u believed. U never see it too.

Heaven n he'll is real if u want a proove of it die now n then u will see it immediately it's just a pity that u can't come back to tell us ur experience.

truthislight:

well then, you have just given answer to how you will feel (never getting tierd) if u will be given eternal life were you will ever leave life at your prime.

As long you are fully usefull in this life though imperfect YOU CANT PICK A DAY TO DIE, SO, IF THE USEFULL LIFE KEEPS EXRENDING, U WILL SIMPLY ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS IT WILL LAST.
What you have just said in the bible it says that God has put eternity into the heart of men. Even an old man NEVER wants to die. It is instictive.

Using what you said, whenever u want to consider eternal live, in perfect health, 100% brain capacity. Unlimited resources will ever be pleasant . Infact, the way it is put in the bible is this:

EYES HAVE NOT SEEN, EARS HAVE NOT HEARD, NEITHER HAS IT COME TO THE HEART OF MEN WHAT GOD HAS KEPT IN STORE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.

Should help you to know that life eternal WILL NEVER be boring
Peace

akigbemaru:

Pls, Mr verbosity, can you think with your head for once and not with your d*c/k. God creates emotion in the mind of all living things. Beneath this emotion, God laces it with Hope and fear. If someone does a good deed, you claim it's from God. If someone acts badly you claim it's devil.

cyrexx:

simple.
Its because the whole god concept of Yahweh and Jesus was the creative imaginations of white ancient Jews.
The white missionaries later forced the concept down our throats and made us believe Yahweh is the true creator.
We blacks now fantasise about white heaven after death.
What a shame.

cyrexx: @ OLADEGBU,

Many others love me too and they are not as schizophrenic as your Jesus to throw me (whom he claims to love) into eternal hell with unending agonizing and excruciating pain.

Have a smiley day too.

cyrexx:

Mr Truthislight,
fortunately this is where i fully agree with you, although i disagree with some other things you say.
Christians dont know how shallow they sound when they say that they are good because of fear of eternal punishment in hell. So if there is no hell, they will not be moral.
How shallow.
I dont believe in hell and still i do good because its the good thing to do, not because i want reward or fear punishment.
Like i said, if i ever return to christianity it will NEVER be because i fear hell, but because i see a convincing evidence that Yahweh is more than a Jewish conceptions of deity (like Arabian conception of deity in the form of Allah), that Yahweh is really existent and answers prayers like the scriptures says about him. Otherwise, i'm done with religion FOREVER AND EVER.
But like you said, its a talk for another day, lets not derail this thread.
Peace.

cyrexx:

before anony comes to rudely and wrongfully accuse me of dragging you down due to his crusade of blindly following his religion and see every other belief system as wrong except his own, ask him why eternal punishment is necessary for a so-called omnipotent and omniscient god.
Ask anony if he can torture a living being in eternal hell for eternity for the crime of belonging to a non-christian religion.
Ask him if he will be talking like this if he has been raised a muslim and he believed allah is the almighty god.
Ask him why omniscient god create hell for his creature knowing that most of them will end up there.
Ask him the basis of his morality and let us see if it is truly moral or not.
Ask him if the same god who orders his Jewish followers to murder every man woman and child of non-yahweh worshippers in the old testament is still the same UNCHANGING God the father of Jesus in the new testament...

Look, religion is man-made control mechanisms. Free your mind from mental slavery.
