maborukoje:
Big brother is back,no more sleep for me,i pray they don't tempt our naija guy because the guy talk say he get wife 4 naija,her name na SANDRA and she dey pregnant,but i pray say make he bring d money 2 naija ninja. LOL

In that case hell probably play 'goodygoody' and theyll vote him off early for that.

Uti and Tawana are in an unecessarily heated debate on religion; very sensitive topic.

The guy dey preach to the babe, hes actually quite knowledgeable on the bible; she seems like an atheist; "the bible is the words of men", "I have another name for God"(Oprahs religion) etc etc



Seems like Nigerians have a peculiar way of shoving things down peoples' throats. . .

If youre thinking of streaming it for free, Im afraid thats impossible.

If youre talking about DSTV mobile, I dont know if BBA is in the bouquet.

Better still go and ask the gurus in the phone section.

naijaking1:
Let the truth be told

Sounds more like your opinion.

BTW multichoice has increased the ratings from 16 to 18, where it should have always have been.

onyinye2:
Manye i wish they showed this show in the states.

oops

But Thomas was a 'christian' (the word hadnt been coined). . . , or at least he was a disciple.

Jesus gave a greater blessing for people who arent like Thomas anyway.

Donnie, I never knew that a man could blaspheme against a fellow man, I thought there was something else called "character assassination". . . . which is what Paulipopo and his colleagues might be doing, in your own opinion which you are entirely entitled to.

@powderpink 

But thats a generalisation. . .

And as per verifying miracles, I don't think there is anything wrong in peoples' requests that miracles be easily verifiable. . . if that is the only way some people would believe then I think God will gladly go that route; after all Jesus did not refrain from showing Thomas His pierced hands, neither did He condemn Thomas.

donnie:
I have listened to this unbeliever called Paulipopo and his friends some of which i recognize to be against everything called Spirit or supernatural.
Yet they claim to be christians and quote scripture.
Brethren, beware of dogs. The mixed muiltitude. They came out of egypt but yet they still lung to go back there. They are comfortable with the natural, what they can see and touch that is why they call for evidence.
They would have prefered it if the people prayed and prayed and prayed until God finally answered. But an instant miracle is out of the question. I pity u.
And put it to you that u don't really believe in Jesus and His Word. Chances are that u either are not functioning in a church under a man of God or u are simply on an antichrist mission to steal, kill and destroy. But the wrath of God is against  all manner of wickedness whether done in the body or outside.
So christian or no christain, u will give account. The bible says the punishment of the transgressor and the sinner shall be together.

Ahn ahn. all these generalisations because of Christian, one individual, one out of several, one who is not God. Isnt that a bit unfair on paulipopo?

[quote author=dudu-bobo link=topic=161004.msg2690878#msg2690878 date=1219402863]Do you have any evidence that miracles performed at his gatherings are not veriafiable?[/quote]There are others who could argue that there is no evidence that they are verifiable. O ga oh.

In every situation

Were saying the same thing

If you may, can you copy+paste the PM?

_{re-reads and writes:}

Oh, how silly of me, its a Private Message

Im just curious. . .

donnie:
@AKO
Hw many times will u be told that his name isnt Christopher but Christian. The first person i heard callin him Christopher in public ws Chris Okotie. Why don't u tk correction frm those who r close to the man n hv knwn him for several years.
Haba! if they lie about other things, will they also lie about his name? 

I actually didnt know they were talking to me, they should have at least quoted me.

Ah, so there are some inner caucuas guys in here, interesting.

'Chris' for almost everybody is instinctively synonymous to Christopher. Not too many people name their children 'Christian'

Sorry. And if you can please help me apologise to Christian.

Bluesteps:
If God doesnt like the way P.Chris church is growing it would have crumbled a long time ago.

Bluesteps I have nothing against you but really think about what you just said again.

Do you think God was pleased with the way Obasanjo handled this country? Why did He still allow him to be president for 4 years? That is just one in a billion examples.

I'm not saying Christopher is 'phoney', I'm only bringing out a principle.

KunleOshob:
@bluesteps
There is clearly no evidence that Pastor Chris so -called miracles are genuine. In fact here are more credible claims that his miracles are staged managed. One thing i know is that if any genuine miracle is going on in his church he won't have to be publicizing it himself thruough hi propanganda program (atmosphere for miracles) If the miracles can be confirmed to be genuine, i can assure you that all the newspapers and electronic media would be carrying it in their headlines free of charge, they would be verifyable and not just empty claims. When NBC banned his program, what they banned was "unverifiable miracles" if his were genuine, he should have just gone ahead to verify it instead of having his program banned

Pere.

Ok haven read through this thread I have discovered that the wine that Jesus made from water may actually have been alcholic. So what the bible is against is excessive drinking a.k.a drunkeness.

Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

1Ti 3:8 ¶ Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;



Some have suggested that just he should not turn down the job simply because he'll be well paid; and this is 'Nigeria'.

In principle, money-consciousness is not the best yard stick for decision making.


Should a christian work in a brewery? Its a conscience thing, unfortunately (generally speaking) some peoples' consciences are almost numb because they deliberately go against it ever so often.

[quote author= PapaBrowne link=topic=161376.msg2675002#msg2675002 date=1219164417]So because there are poor people in Nigeria, the non-poor people should not hear word again.
So because there are poor people in Nigeria, those that have money shouldn't buy good things
Pleeeeeaaasssseeeeee!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]So you want to put what we are talking about in that category abi?

I dont think any genuine christian should work in or buy shares in tobacco/alchohol producing companies.

Why use your God-given talets, intellect et.al to contribute to another person's bad health, even though you are well paid and it's the other person's free choice?

Even from a merely moral stand point. it doesnt seem right.

[center]Obama disowns Okereke-Onyiuke, others!![/center]

https://www.punchng.com/images/August/Tuesday/pix200808193225012.jpg

The campaign organisation of the Democratic Party‘s candidate for the November 2008 United States presidential election, Senator Barack Obama, has dissociated itself from the activities of a Nigeria-based group, Africa for Obama.


The campaign organisation said in a letter to the Editor, PUNCH online, that it was doing so based on an advertisement that the Nigerian group was organising a fundraiser for Obama.

‘Africa for Obama’ led by the Director-General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Prof. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, had at its dinner/concert in Lagos on Monday August 11, reportedly raised about N100m.

The letter by the Staff Counsel for the Obama for America, Ms. Kendall C. Burman, reads, “We want to inform you that Obama for America, Inc, which is the principal campaign committee for Senator Barrack Obama in his campaign for President of the United States, and the Democratic National Committee are in no way affiliated with this event or with this organisation.

“Obama for America and the Democratic National Committee will not accept any funds raised at this event or through the fundraising activities of this group.

“We want to make it clear that the event and this organisation are in no way associated with Obama for America of the Democratic National Committee should this organisation seek to place additional advertisement in your paper.”

At the dinner in which notable artistes performed, tickets were sold in the category of Platinum (Corporate table for eight people for N2.5m and individual N325,000.

For the gold category, the ticket was sold for N2m for corporate table of eight and N275,000 for an individual.

But in a swift response, Okereke-Onyiuke said the event organised by ‘Africa for Obama’ was not aimed at raising funds for Obama but to sensitise Africans living in America.

The NSE chief who spoke with one of our correspondents on the telephone on Monday said, ”At no time did we say we were raising money for Obama.

“What we are saying is that Obama is for the world and he has been getting support from Europeans, from Arabs and from all over and Nigerians should not be different.

“We are not collecting money for Obama. I lived in the US for 14 years; I am a Green Card holder and I know the law. We are just mobilising people who are eligible voters to go out and register and voter for him and I don‘t know why this should be an issue.

“The event was a concert and people bought tickets on their own volition. People have been saying I used my position as D-G to compel corporate organisations to donate money. I am tired of all these. This is not true. No corporate organisation gave any cheques.

“The guests came in their personal capacity, whether they work in a bank or anywhere else I do not know. Even the table I bought for my friends and relations was paid for out of my own pocket and the money was used for the food and to pay for the artistes. We ate and danced and enjoyed ourselves.

“Some people, including journalists, came in for free and what I said there was that if there is any surplus, after the accounts have been done, the money will be used for mobilisation.”

She explained that the mobilisation campaign would involve advertisements and online campaigns to encourage African-Americans to register and vote for Obama.

Okereke-Onyuike, who stressed that the event was a private affair, wondered why eyebrows were not raised over similar events where tables went for eight figures.

She said, ”Nobody was forced to attend the event. I have paid N10m for a table at a concert; nobody was forced to pay. The event was a private thing and I used my own money to put it together. Some people like to sit in front of the television and watch history in the making but we chose to mobilise people to vote for someone we believe in.”

The NSE boss, who expressed her frustrations over negative insinuation about the real intentions of the organisers of the event, said that she was very careful in wording the media adverts that preceded the event.

She stressed that it was not a fund raising event.

She said, ”I am a very intelligent person; I have a PhD that I did not buy. We were careful with our advertisements and we were transparent in all we did. I don‘t understand why Nigerians like to be negative. People have been mobilising support for Obama all over the world and they are not being castigated.

“I want to make it clear that I am a Nigerian and I have the right to do anything I want with my time and my money.”

The emergence of Okereke-Onyiuke as the chairman of the group had raised dust as some Nigerians made reference to her role in a fundraiser for former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s re-election in 2003. She did so under the umbrella of Corporate Nigeria.

Okereke-Onyiuke was also believed to be a staunch supporter of Obasanjo in his bid to extend his tenure in 2006.

Many critics had argued against raising money for Obama as US presidential candidates are barred from receiving funds from abroad.

The immediate past General Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Nimi Walson-Jack, had argued in an article published in THE PUNCH on Monday that ”Political candidates may legally take donations from American citizens or from permanent residents of the United States wherever they happen to live, even if the money is raised overseas.

”But the US political candidates cannot legally accept donations from individuals who are neither US citizens nor permanent US residents.”

Also speaking on the matter, human rights advocate and lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, described the dinner/concert as an illegal action that could impact negatively on Obama‘s presidential aspiration.

Falana said, ”The funds raised at the dinner will be contributed to the Barack Obama Campaign Fund contrary to the Electoral Laws of the US, which forbids any form of external financing of political campaigns.

”In view of the clear provisions of the US law on external funding of political campaigns, the ‘Africa for Obama ‘08’ should be restrained from raising funds for Obama‘s campaign. Otherwise, Obama is surely going to be scandalised by a powerful section of the US media controlled by the Republican Party.”

If my post is a complete lie at least offer a shread of evidence that i am lying. Please indicate that his messages reflect truth and not the sanctimonious displays you are used to.

As per doctrine I think Christopher is quite sound.

Its the brand that gets me a bit worried.

madamkoko:
Meaning: why don't people focus on Jesus. Jesus was human and was not invisible according to the bible.

Also, isn't that the point of the bible, for xtians to see examples and to focus on examples given in the Bible and not these men trying to make a buck a two.

But can they see Jesus? How can they use their physical eyes to focus on someone they can't see with their physical eyes?

That's my point.
