Say no to anger.
Better to marry a poor man than to marry that angry man.

I was about asking this same question when I saw your post.
We all know getting job is not easy in Nigeria, but why will someone write himself off even before giving it a trial at all.
Such mentality does nothing but ensures failure in all ramifications. Be optimistic, even if things later don't work out.
You said it all. I suspect he meant chances of getting a good job are slim but didn't express himself properly

This party called APC are just so confused. They were never here to rule Nigeria.


In new York Buhari clearly stated he will be minister. Now he would supervise the ministry. This Femi is a clown, he should stop speaking on behalf of the president. In short the whole APC are clowns

Christianity have fundamentalism in them too, it's just that western religion have been around for quite longer (Christianity and Judaism) and they've learned to ignore what the holy book says.

The bible said crazy shit too, but you just don't follow it, the bible clearly says "if you see your neighbor working on Sunday, kill him"
hahahhahahaha just say you an atheist who believes in secularism and all your friends will like your post. Case closed

Will that change your understanding of them? I think not but I will.

4. Gift of tongue is the greatest gift: I say that is perfect ignorance, Prophecy is.

5. Direct communication with God: Man can never communicate with God except through Christ. Scriptures establish Christ is the pathway to the Father prayer not excluded.

6.Tongues increase our Faith: "Master increase our faith" said the disciples onto Christ and his answer was awesome. Throughout the Scripture no verse speak about increase of faith only supplement of faith and in among it nothing speaks of gifts of the Spirit. If you find any you can give out I am more pleased to Learn.

7. Activates Fruit of the Spirit now that is funny. I knew of many Christian that speaks in tongue yet they won't stop planning downfall of others. That's absolute crap no Scripture approves that.


And do remember, 99% truth Plus 1% lie equals 100%
4. Agree

5. We pray to God through Christ by praying in the Spirit too because the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us is responsible for our utterances. I guess to you, your prayers are not through Christ except you say 'in the name of Jesus' that is false cos as long as we have His Spirit all our prayers to God are through Him.

Ghost,

You referred to non-religious world to be dystopia, war and vendetta sort of life. Then I told you that it'll not be as you presumed, that we have contemporary example of secular countries existing peacefully, directly opposite to what you felt will makeup a world without religion.

Go to middleeast and witness the magic religion is performing there. Religion inspires war, you are wrong and am right, vendetta, dysfunctional society.
And when did i say or even imply this? " non-religious world to be dystopia, war and vendetta sort of life"

You talking of harmony/peace in the world without religion. Possible. But such peace is short lived and life is purposeless and meaningless.

Religion inspires physical war? yes when you talking of dead religions such as islam, jewish, etc. but no pure religion encourages violence

You are ironically referring what religion is all about. Secular countries achieved more harmony than religious countries. Japan and most western European countries proves you demonstrably wrong.
Of course there will be harmony, harmony! What is harmony then without a purpose for living?

I remember vividly the period i coveted for this gift. I prayed, i prayed! and waited for my Lord to grant me. And when it came one faithful night while i was praying, i was taken aback because what i began to utter were incomprehensible to me, but inwardly, oh my. I was being edified like never before! cheesy smiley

I thank my Lord that i speak in other tongues, but i think the greatest gift of the Spirit is prophesy! smiley

"Thou shall not judge" What does it really mean?

One of the most misquoted part of the bible is "Thou shall not judge". Have you ever pointed out something wrong somebody is doing & he tells you, "Don't judge"? It is very common.

There are judgement God allow us to make and there are those He doesnt allow us to make.

First, what is judgement? Judgement is the ability to make sensible decisions after carefully considering the best thing to do.

Going by this decision, you'll see that you judge people everyday.

1. Why are you against the Gay Bill? You judged that it is wrong.
2. Why wont you kill your mother? Bc your judgement tells you it is wrong.
3. Christ said we shud tell people to repent from their sin - That is judgement.

So guys, we judge people everyday and God allows this form of judgement. The judgement God is against is when we judge with respect to someone's eternal state. Eg If I say that Flavor will go to hell, God will be angry with me. I cant say that.

"Do not judge by appearances, but JUDGE with righteous judgement" - John 7:24

This passage confirms all I have said. We shud nt judge by appearance, but should make a righteous judgement.

So next time somebody walk up to you and pointed out your sin, repent from that sin and save your life. That person loves you.
Well said

OP said,'The church could play a better role in people's lives,
much more than providing them with something to
believe in about life after now, but also start creating a
better life for people here.
Irrespective of the disdain i have for modern 'churches' this statement is outrageously ignorant. The highest commission of the Church is to share the message of the gospel, and make disciples who will partake in the glory ahead, which is beyond this transient world. They are not to look for "better lives" here.

Hiswordxray:
You are right I was talking about dead religion.
The truth is that when you mention religion the thing that comes to people's mind is what is defined as dead religion because men are spiritually dead and they look at everything from that state of deadness. So I didn't see the need to start differentiating between dead religion and true religion. You are right, there is a pure and true religion, a religion that is of Christ.

Thanks a lot, you've just helped me to understand somethings.
You are very welcome sir. All glory to God

Like many other religions, they chose a different path that seemed like the best thing available to them at the time.

I attributed the persistent spread of Christianity in modern day to indoctrination, not it's inception.

Indoctrination. The reason it STILL EXISTS. Not the reason it started.
You have no point. How can rational men choose a different path they know nothing about and are not assured of over their jobs? With so many preferring to die cruelly than giving up their faith. How can something supernatural not be behind this 'different path'? Is it normal to you? Lie or explain it away, we all know it is beyond normal.

After their conversion, did they keep mute or spread what has been revealed to them to other nations? yes. Were the assured that the one that started this will preserve it till the end? yes Did they preach about wolves rising to scatter the beautiful plan of God but will be duly punished at the end? yes and so we see today. Did they preach that God will be with believers to the end of the world? absolutely yes.

The same one that made it exist in their own time, is the same behnd its continuous existence.

Too late, your assumptions of it existence being as a result of indoctrination cannot fly because they are mere assumptions.

Good question. The largest initial growth of Christianity started when it was chosen as the official religion of the Roman Empire. People had no choice. Believe or be killed.

Until just a few centuries ago, anyone in Christian nations who expressed the slightest doubt of the existence of God was burned alive.

A very efficient method that saw this form of insanity spread exponentially.
I didn't ask for no largest growth. I asked who indoctrinated the first Christians. Who made those Jewish fellows abandon their life ambitions for one Christ that you suppose never existed?

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do We Go To Church? by An2elect2(f):
You spoke well but your understanding of religion is lopsided. We have dead religions and true living religion. The latter is anchored on genuine faith in God as we have in James 1:27 " Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Christians are to show compassion to the less privilege and above all keep ourselves undefiled from the corruption of this world(the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life 1John 2:16)

Its easy to think other religions say the same thing. But that's not true. Dead religions are centred on men and they are adhered to with the carnal minds of men who are spiritually undiscerning. Dead religion is not after changing a man, but after his willingness to remain faithful to it irrespective.

How can a man keep himself unspotted from the world? not by being moral only but being spiritual too. Christianity teaches the possibility of living in this world but not for the world. It provides the remedy to the sole problem of man, his wicked heart. If that could change, he will be free from the shackles, worries and vain choices of this world

God accepts the Christian religion

I will call it a privilege for God to envelope me, a wretched sinner in His love, chose me even when i was not born into this world, but was only existing in His mind and counsel to partake both in the sufferings of Christ and of the glory ahead.

Its a treasurable thing living for God.
