Am finding it hard to define Satan, lucifer or the devil like the Bible called him. Please I do need a description I can agree with.

TooNoisy:
Then some Igbos will say they are the most entrepreneurial.

See Yorubas dominating the list. Even Dangote's biggest investments are in Yorubaland.

Must you bring ethnicity to everything?

Interesting discoveries, hope they all make the world better not worse?

I don't support homosexuality neither am i an advocate for it but I understand that all humans can't be the same.We were created pple of various races,cultures,lifestyles,ideologies and sexualities so we should learn to respect pples beliefs even if you have a distaste for it.Cut these people some slack and let God be the judge of all,we are all sinners in one way or the other so stop the hypocrisy.Live your life and let others live theirs,we can't all be the same.

True words of wisdom. Live and let others live.

jom28gy:
Satan,cannot repent,because,there is nothing like Satan,it is just an imaginative thinking in human mind.so don't expect any change from that word Satan."the question is therefore,who is a Satan?when you think evil of your fellow man,you are that Satan the world is speculatively looking for.

LOL, I love ur interpretation. That would mean we are gods and angels too.

LesbianBoy:
It seems nigerians have a problem with rich people! Ahn ahn!

So because of that small thing wey davido brother talk (which he has even apologised) na him make this STOOPID girl write this epistle?

I believe he was referring to people like you! How can you back him up on sure opprobrious comment? People like you make these rich jackasses feel important.

luvmijeje:
For you to get answers to all these, you only have to get close to him and he'll respond to you. I ask him and he did respond to me. But if I tell you won't grasp it.

Una type gotta see for you to believe.

I hv tried believe me, even gone to Bible school, read everything I came across but everything just doesn't seem to fit in, so many loopholes.

otemanuduno:
There is God ALMIGHTY, but he is not any of the gods you have ever heard of. Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Moloch, Atum, Ra etc are not God ALMIGHTY. They are all the product of God ALMIGHTY.

The word 'Satan' is not actually a name but a title which fits a wicked personality or an enemy. And as a matter of fact, the name fits Yahweh the wicked god, one of the sons of God ALMIGHTY.

God ALMIGHTY isn't the one you read about in the Bible. That one is the deceiver. God ALMIGHTY is the one scientists think about whenever they are amazed at how everything came into being.

Please wats the name of your religion? I would want to know more.

luvmijeje:
You can also apply that question to Adam and Eve. If he know they will disobedient why did he create man?

I sometimes try to picture things from the perspective of God and wonder wat he gets from all these. Why send your son to suffer for us, when if u really want to forgive us, u can simply just do after all u are all powerful!

petra1:
Satan can not repent . He's still planning for war . There are going to be 2 major war coming between evil and good . Armageddon war and gog and MAGGOG war . According to the book of revelation . Satan is mobilizing his forces .no man should pity him

MAGGOG war? Where is dat stated in the Bible?

luvmijeje:
Na wa o. Today's questions get as e be. Ist Timothy 5:21says

21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.


Emphasis on elect angels. God has pronounced judgment on his angels and the devil knows it. There's is no repentance after judgement.

But before God created lucifer he knew he would sin and depart wit one third of the host of angels. Then why create him in the first place?

What if Satan genuinely repents and ask God for forgiveness? What will become of Christianity?

oluwaseyi000:

Our ancestor actually thought their religion is the best thing on planet before the White came to wipe their ass and their god's ass, hence they dumped their religion for their slave master religion, the slave master and his religion promise us that we won't longer be taken to Europe as slave but to heaven but alas the slave-master are un-repentantly into science as a means of solving their problem while leaving behind african to be calling on the God they gave her while they call on science. they results are there for all to see

I concur 100%. They gave us the Bible and taught us to pray, by the time we opened our eyes, they had our lands and us captives. Till today we are still calling on god

devilsdouble00:
It started with 2016 batch B stream 2 and I'm sure the practice have come to stay.
Too many corpers died in the previous batch that was why.
Just be prepared to get it

I thought we can also obtain it from any general hospital or military hospital?

It is true NYSC is asking us to obtain health certificate from our respective health centers or department?

Junior66:
Please touch not my anointed and leave the pastor alone. Pls dnt involve de police o incase MOG will rain causes on you. Do not judge him because he is an MOG. MOGs are anointed by God so they can never do wrong. God de their back. lolssssss

Wetin you smoke?

fergusen:
You can be very caring and gentle and at thesame time be assertive and firm. This will ensure people don't take you for granted.

Yeah I concur. Am a very smiling and nice person, giving respect to those who deserve it and helping people too but at the same time I take Nonsense or bullshit from anybody too. Self respect is the answer and when it comes to women, have class not anything under...

As a 6.5 feet guy, I find these petite girls attracted to me, but I love tall ladies and they seem not to like me in return.

Pastafarian:
When was Jesus born?

According to Matthew, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great (Matthew 2:1 ). According to Luke, Jesus was born during the first census in Israel, while Quirinius was governor of Syria ( Luke 2:2 ). This is impossible because Herod died in March of 4 BC and the census took place in 6 and 7 AD, about 10 years after Herod's death.

Some Christians try to manipulate the text to mean this was the first census while Quirinius was governor and that the first census of Israel recorded by historians took place later. However, the literal meaning is "this was the first census taken, while Quirinius was governor ..." In any event, Quirinius did not become governor of Syria until well after Herod's death.

Where was Jesus Born?

Both Matthew and Luke say that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Matthew quotes Micah 5:2 to show that this was in fulfillment of prophecy. Actually, Matthew misquotes Micah (compare Micah 5:2 to Matthew 2:6 ). Although this misquote is rather insignificant, Matthew's poor understanding of Hebrew will have great significance later in his gospel.

Luke has Mary and Joseph travelling from their home in Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea for the birth of Jesus (Luke 2:4 ). Matthew, in contradiction to Luke, says that it was only after the birth of Jesus that Mary and Joseph resided in Nazareth, and then only because they were afraid to return to Judea ( Matthew 2:21-23 ).

In order to have Jesus born in Bethlehem, Luke says that everyone had to go to the city of their birth to register for the census. This is absurd, and would have caused a bureaucratic nightmare. The purpose of the Roman census was for taxation, and the Romans were interested in where the people lived and worked, not where they were born (which they could have found out by simply asking rather than causing thousands of people to travel).

JUDAS!

Thirty pieces of silver
According to Matthew 26:15 , the chief priests "weighed out thirty pieces of silver" to give to Judas. There are two things wrong with this:

a. There were no "pieces of silver" used as currency in Jesus' time - they had gone out of circulation about 300 years before.

b. In Jesus' time, minted coins were used - currency was not "weighed out."

By using phrases that made sense in Zechariah's time but not in Jesus' time Matthew once again gives away the fact that he creates events in his gospel to match "prophecies" he finds in the Old Testament.


Who bought the Field of Blood?
a. In Matthew 27:7 the chief priests buy the field.

b. In Acts 1:18 Judas buys the field.



How did Judas die?

a. In Matthew 27:5 Judas hangs himself.
b. In Acts 1:18 he bursts open and his insides spill out.

c. According to the apostle Paul, neither of the above is true. Paul says Jesus appeared to "the twelve" after his resurrection. Mark 14:20 makes it clear that Judas was one of the twelve.
In Matthew 19:28 , Jesus tells the twelve disciples, including Judas, that when Jesus rules from his throne, they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

---

How did the Field of Blood get its name?

a. Matthew says because it was purchased with blood money ( Matthew 27:6-8 ).

b. Acts says because of the bloody mess caused by Judas' bursting open (Acts 1:18-19 ).

This is nice and interesting, please where did you get it from?

Bros, if I tell you say I understand this movie well you dey try tell us, I dey lie.

You can also learn new words from watching movies, once u hear it, u check your dictionary for its meaning.

For an educational reason, I want to know what the traditional Igbo man believes about the Afterlife?
Christians believe that when you die, you either go to heaven or hell. In that same line, what does traditional Igbo man before the arrival of civilization and Christianity believes happen when they die?
Sound contributions with if possible sources is needed urgently.

Nonsense

musicwriter:
Well, I don't know whether your GO would agree with your explanation, cause it doesn't sound to me like how Jesus Christ, the head of the church would've run a university. According to the profile of the man called Jesus in the Bible, the basis of the church and university enterprise, Jesus would've favored to plough the church earnings into the university and use it to give free education to the poorest people in the society who can't afford tuition fee for their children.

YOU are very correct. That's exactly what is expected of them.

Macmoni:
till u die u cannot buy dah man hanki

What has buying hanki got to do with what is been said?

IamLEGEND1:
people be discussing relationships while I'm here just waiting for Sunday to come so i can watch the walking dead.

LOL, even me oh

ReneeNuttall:
I don't think all the aforementioned boils down to culture, first of all its not in our culture to bury our dead in a grand style, it's either a thing of the mind,how the person affected their lives while he or she was alive and also their pocket weights. it's not In every culture that one must spend hell to tomb a dead body.

Not in every culture means it is in some. But spending a lot in burial is not the only issue there.
