Literature › Re: 10 Greatest Literary Writers In Nigeria History by Amberon: 6:47am On May 17, 2016
I remember meeting Wole Soyinka's "supposed" friend at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in 2011. This man started giving us Wole 's history and his too while speaking grammar that I had never heard before in my life.

He explained how Wole first wrote down the book "The Man Died" on "tissue papers" because he was too broke to buy an actual note book.

Been wondering if it was true.

what has religion got to do with this??

continue displaying your ignorance of grandeur since you find your bliss in it.
plaetton:
What is wrong with you guys?

You guys are arguing like religious fanatics whose logical reasoning is impaired by irrational beliefs.

Pls, who amongst all the posters on this thread is defending corruption or anyone accused of corruption ?

Who, on this thread, is defending PDP ?

Who, on this thread, has brought out issues of tribe or tribalism , except for you irrational fanatics ?

Why is it very very difficult to face and address simple FACTS ?

Should I blame the educational system for the very poor comprehension skills or should I blame brainwashing ?

If derogatory references to iPod or ipob is the very best that you can muster, then shame on all of you for coming to a public forum to disgrace yourselves.

Christianity Etc › Re: Christians Shld Heal This World Rather Than Wishing Rapture To Come & Destroy It by Amberon: 4:18pm On May 16, 2016
Dear dumb atheist,

Christians are not wishing nor praying for rapture to destroy the world. We have better things to pray about. Rapture is inevitable, it is immitent.

Y'all atheists think you're smart, but you're plain dumb.

Do you not know that the earth is a living organism? And like all living organisms it would eventually die?? The earth breathes, grows, moves, responds to stimuli etc like every other living organism does and surely it will die someday. (Not many scientists know this ) Yes and that day will be shortly after raprute.

So No! we are not praying for. rapture to destroy the world. Every Christians priority is to live in holiness, righteous so as to make heaven.
Islam › Re: If U Are A Muslim, Pls Come Over Here. Muslims Only. by Amberon: 3:46pm On May 16, 2016
Lmao! threatened?? nah.

On the contrary, you are threatened by your own religion. Go live in Syria, Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia if you're not. Muslim keep running away to western countries because of the evil of Islam. Wherever there's Islam, there's war, confusion, calamity, heart ache, disaster etc.

10,000 Pakistani muslims converted to christianity in a single crusade. 6 million Africans muslims convert to Christianity yearly and this research was done by your Muslim clerics and aired on one of your Islamic channels. That my dear is what I call conversion. Not the crap you're taking about. They now fear that Islam would go extinct with such conversion rates.

Get well soon bruh!!

Yet you feel so threatened by this evil religion that keeps growing and growing and growing. .....
Why won't you be threatened when your pastors, bishops and other priests of yours are reverting to Islam.

You have no point.

Did Christians stop you from evangelizing? And how do we shove our beliefs down everyone's throat? Have you ever heard of anyone being forcefully converted to Christianity?

you have no case.
Brigance:
If you fail to observe how the theists think they hold the exclusive right to evangelism, and how they go about shoving their belief down every ones throat and all you could come up with is a few threads that express rational thought and questions, then probably some shades of hypocrisy is at play.
Christianity Etc › Re: Islam: Religion Of Pieces Peace. Islam Is Satanic Plot! by Amberon: 4:03pm On May 15, 2016
At least, that was a punishment for their wickedness MD evil deeds.

But your pedophile prophet killed, beheaded, raped, murdered, innocent people simply because they weren't Muslims.

Jesus Never killed nobody nor commanded us to do so. That's the difference.
kolomax:
Let's examine the Christian bible for a moment :
Deuteronomy 17
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant; 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel; 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till die

Make sure you know much about your bible before coming online to disgrace yourself hypocrite

Christianity Etc › Re: Is There Any Sin God Can't Forgive? by Amberon: 3:48pm On May 15, 2016
This is a thread about the Only begotten son of GOD, not Allah.
anataala:
4:48 Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.


4:116 Allah forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).

And:

4:153 ...Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.

25:68,70-71 And those who invoke not any other god along with Allah...and whoever does this shall receive the punishment...Except those who repent and believe (in Islâmic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allâh will change their sins into good deeds, and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds, then verily, he repents towards Allâh with true repentance.

Shirk is the sin of associating partners with Allah, i.e. attributing divinity or worshipping other than the One Creator.

The explanation of these verses becomes clear if we review the Islamic beliefs one at a time.

1. The first principle is that Allah will forgive ALL sins of anyone who repents sincerely during this life, before their death. This is made clear in the following verse of the Qur'an:

39:53-55 Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped. And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!

From the above verse we understand that Allah will forgive all of our sins if we repent before the coming of a "sudden penalty", which refers to death.

2. The second principle here is that after one dies, they are at the mercy of Allah, who may choose to forgive them of their sins or punish them for it, according to what is just. Allah may forgive all of one's sins after they die, except shirk. After a person dies, they will not be forgiven for shirk. The only chance of forgiveness for shirk is if one repents before they die.

3. The above understanding is derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and can be found in many common Tafsir of the Qur'an. For example, Ibn Kathir Ad-Damishqi (d. 1372CE) writes for this verse in his renowned Tafsir Al-Qur'an Al-Azim:

Allah does not forgive shirk, except after repenting from it. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Abridged, Darussalam Publishers & Distributors, 2000, vol. 2, p. 481)

And Muhammad Asad comments on the verse:

The continuous stress, in the Qur'an, on God's transcendental oneness and uniqueness aims at freeing man from all sense of dependence on other influences and powers, and thus at elevating him spiritually and bringing about the "purification" alluded to in the next verse. Since this objective is vitiated by the sin of shirk ("the ascribing of divine qualities to aught beside God"wink, the Qur'an describes it as "unforgivable" so long as it is persisted in, i.e., unless and until the sinner repents (cf. verses 17 and 18 of this surah). (Asad, Message of the Qur'an, The Book Foundation 2003)

And verses 4:17-18 read:

4:17-18 Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allah will forgive and Allah is Ever All Knower, All Wise. And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: "Now I repent;" nor of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful torment.

If a person dies practicing shirk, or not having repented from it, he can never be forgiven for this sin. However, if a person commits shirk before accepting Islam, and dies as a Muslim, then the sin of shirk will be forgiven. This is because a person will be judged by Allah based on his conditions and iman (faith) at the time of death, so if he committed shirk in the past, but eventually accepted Islam, then such a sin would be forgiven. (Qadhi, A Critical Study of Shirk : An Explanation of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab's Kash al-Shubuhat, Al-Hidaayah Publishing and Distribution 2003, p.22)

Thus, when the verses are interpreted in light of other Qur'anic laws, there is no contradiction.

Not long ago, my little cousin went to a CE church and they were like, "Let everybody begin to speak in tongues".

Na so everybody began uttering words, even little children. Lmao!!
haywire07:
I remembered preaching this topic in the NCCF corper's lodge...and everyone took d preaching to be an everyday joke .

The sin against holy spirit is unforgivable !!!! Gbam

At a point in everyone's life mostly as 'conscious" children or youth, we hav mocked the holy spirit by faking speaking in tongues or imitating our pastor who spoke in tongues .

Wat am saying is, we that will make heaven are not much any longer .

Y'all doomed grin

And my special pity to 'CE' and other churches that forces u to speak in tongues (fake tongues)
"Broda jst say something, you must speak in tongues'' SMH

God has a son and his name is Jesus Christ. If you are a Muslim you can stick to your solitary confinement.
olajide21:
God; the Creator of all, The Sustainer and the one who would judge us all on the day of accountability does not forgive Shirk; worshiping others other than God Almoghty. However, God has said that whenever His servants, worshipper etc approaches Him seeking forgiveness, and he/she seeks forgiveness with sincerity, He would forgive the person....
God is One and Only.God is Eternal. God begets none and He was not begotten. He is the first and nothing is before Him.
He is the last and Notting would be after Him.
God is comparable to no one.
No matter what you sins are, seek sincere repentance and the Most Forgiven God shall forgive you.
