Truthseeker10:I'll break this down to you in plain terms once and then close up on this. I love our discussion and it's good to know we disagree to agree. When God created Man in His image and Likeness and gave them dominion over all the creatures and replenish the earth and subdue it. The being God created was simply called "Man". He created them Male and Female which existed in one form which was the created being He created. When God formed Man from the dust of the earth He did that to enable the created Man to be able to accomplish the earthly assignment He had in mind for Man to accomplish. Now after breathing into the formed man which became a living soul, this living being (the formed man which is now a living soul) was called "Adam" because of where and the substance he was made of. Adam means earth or mud or sand. The name is simply an identity of where he was formed from. The formed man and the Created Man are one and the same. One is a Spirit being created in the image of God and His likeness while the other formed man is a suit that houses the created man so he can accomplish the earthly assignment of replenishing, dominating and subduing. If you don't still get this then it's well. I hope you understand me to this point |
Hey Guys I'm gonna be short on this post this afternoon. Before I proceed I hope the rain met you in a good place where you're not drenched and in a sour mood? As humans we're creatures of choice. It's the hardcoded plugin written by God into our creative framework to make us distinct from all His other creations. Aside this beautifuland plugin, Man is no different from animals. We all share certain similarities except the ability to choose. Why God input this plugin in us is a subject for another topic which I'll go into in a future topic but for now I wanna write about the importance and power of a choice. Before I proceed lemme explain what a Plugin is. It's a powerful software program written by a programmer into a software to make it carry out certain core activities. It's always written once into a program and left alone. Which is what makes them difficult to customize or edit as any attempt to edit will definitely alter the overall running of the software program. With this in mind our ability to choose of which that innate ability to decide is optimal. Between our next level and present. Between our future endeavors and present pursuits is a decision. Decisions are so powerful that even a "null" decision is a decision in itself and every decision has consequences. We have to be very careful of our decision and be able to be responsible for them regardless of the outcome. This was the Mistake of our our First Parents. When the serpent approached the woman with a subtle deceptive question, she had enough wisdom to question it but she chose to ignore the warning signs and instead relied on the supposed appeal which framed her decision of eating the fruit and sharing with her husband who complicitly accepted and since then Man has been on downward spiral Blame Trail. Everyone of us reading this post or just viewing is a product of past and present decisions. Some led us to God and some led us away from Him. Some led us to accept His teachings in the Bible while some led some of us to question His teaching and thus become an Apostate. Every decision has consequences so be careful and think through your choices before you make a decision knowing that whether the decision be good or bad or even a "null", you have to live with, accept and responsible for the consequences of your decision. Stay safe till my next post. AngelahFlo (Trinity) |
There's no right or wrong answer to this topic as each career has its demanding side. Years ago Lagbaja did a song on this that showcased the demanding sides of certain careers like Law, medical, military and even bus conductor. So every career has its turn off to every relationship. The wisdom is setting your priorities before you guys take the dive. Discuss it and plan ahead how you'll navigate this definite grey area in every relationship. |
Sabadon:To each his or her own. You're good and doing great in your own niche too. |
Hello Guys We never knew Him, loved Him yet He came for us and died for us in order to redeem us to the Father. He came to reconcile us back to God who longed for a reestablished relationship with us which was lost when our first parents committed the blunder that led to the fall of humanity. He came from His abode to dwell with us. To walk in ourshoes so He can better relate with us. At the moment it's the reason He hasn't come yet. He's still holding out the door of opportunity to any believing and willing soul who'll call upon the name of Jesus and acknowledge His Lordship. This is the Gospel Truth. Know this and remain completely free. The hour is coming when chances like these among others will be lost. |
Truthseeker10:Listen to yourself just pay attention to the words you just penned. Mr Truthseeker too much truth seeking is really harmful to the spirit not only the soul. When God formed man from the dust of the earth before He breathed into the man was there any mention of man being a living being? Our body is our earth suit enabling us to interact with this Terra Firma but the real us is the breath that God breathed into the formed man. When we die, this body goes back to the dust whence it came from while the real man goes back to the Source which is God. You don't have to see the word [b]"suit"[/b]in the Bible to know that this body of ours is no different from the clothes you wear to cover your unclothedness. You should just... Words simply fail me |
Truthseeker10:You're equally funny Mr Truthseeker. Too much truth seeking has made you not see what's glaring. What the Word of God says concerning Adam was that He was given a body to enable him fulfill the purpose of his creation which was to replenish, subdue and exercise dominion. Adam is still the Man God created in Genesis 1:26 |
Truthseeker10:There's no time and place for such people. You guys would just be going round in circles. Thanks for the discourse |
sonmvayina:So in your view it was Universal consciousness that created the heavens and the earth in Gen 1:1? How you guys reason is stupid I must admit. That you could limit the Supernatural Being who is the Source of everything to a thought a consciousness?!! I won't argue with you o. I just pointed out that scripture to you. |
Truthseeker10:Mr Truthseeker you ask questions that reveal the foolishness and delusions of men which is good but there's a time and place for that. When you notice like this brother of ours Mr budaatum spouting things like this then you should know that he'll never accept that he's wrong. Why his Pride won't let him. It's the same thing that did Lucifer who became satan in. He never admitted defeat even when it's glaring that he has failed and can never win. |
Truthseeker10:Mr Truthseeker this question I'll not answer because it has been explained in my post and the Word of God which is the Bible already has it stated. If you can't grasp that; I don't have an answer to this question of yours. |
budaatum:It's a real pity that the delusions you've been open to has blinded you to the truth. I won't argue with you neither will I expatriate further seeing you'll never see what I want you to see but I'll just say this and leave it at that. God is a Spirit and when he made man. He created him in his image and likeness which is in a Spirit form. This man which God had created was to fulfill an earthly assignment which was to dominate, replenish and subdue all the creatures and things so God had to form man and breath into the formed man the image and likeness he had created thus making the formed man a living soul. This you would never see because of your deluded mind. What makes the formed man different from the created man? Nothing. Mr budaatum this is where I'll leave you with whatever your beliefs are |
Dtruthspeaker:I'd rather rebuke the Evil so it doesn't keep spreading tall tales around. Thanks for drawing my attention to this. I doubt if he'll respond to our replies. If he does then he's really far gone. |
Dtruthspeaker:That is the point I'm raising. I'm not being judgemental but it's the truth. As he is no amount of argument can make him see. He's been given over to a deluded mind and can only believe the lies of the devil |
Alusiizizi:All these long writeups is needless. The Bible states clearly "it is appointed unto men once to die. After that, the Judgement" When someone dies. If He was born again and has been given eternal life by Jesus, he or she goes to Abraham's Bossom while an evil person goes to hell. Awaiting the day of the White Throne Judgement when he'll be summoned and judged according to his works on earth. Read the account of The Rich man and Lazarus For clarity on this |
Dtruthspeaker:You're right and it's sad because to his kind has been given a reprobate mind given to delusions which is why even with our clear answer to his post he may still not see the truth. It's so sad. |
Dtruthspeaker:You don't need to use language on him. It's not needed. It's strange that some people can read an account of something that's so profoundly explained in plain English and still see what their mind points them towards. It's so sad. |
Dtruthspeaker:Thank Sir for helping me make him see. The truth cannot be argued. It's so absolute that to try and argue it is to make a mockery of one's self. |
Truvelisback:Thank you Bro. God bless you for your wise answer to this catch 22 question. God bless you real good and sorry for my late response. Been doing some soul searching of recent so I can keep coming up with relevant content to share here |
budaatum:Your argument is a little skewed. The Image of God which was created on the sixth day is Man and given authority to rule, dominate and subdue the earth. The Image of God needed an earth suit in order to fulfill the purpose of his creation which was what God formed in Genesis 2 probably after the 8th day as you said. He formed the suit from the dust(mud) of the earth and breathed into this suit the Man He had created in Genesis 1:26 downwards and Image of God became a living soul with the name Adam. So Adam was in the image and likeness of God. If it's still hard for you to grasp; Look it up again |
Good morning Guys A beautiful wet morning to you on this side of Lagos Nigeria. I have a very interesting thread to share this morning which you'll find informative and inspiring as well. Who was Adam before He fell? To answer the question we look into the word of God as it states in Gen 1:26 which says and God said "Let us make Man in our image and likeness and let them have dominion over the sea creatures over the land centuries and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." The man Adam was created in the image and likeness of God to be a representative of Him on this earth and to rule this earth and make it a peaceful perfect environment for all God's creation. Adam who was God's crowning masterpiece was a wonder to behold. The man Adam was an excellent specimen from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. Not only was he beautiful to behold, he was also supernaturally intelligent. He operated on a level of knowledge that's rare among ordinary men today. Adam had Intuitive Knowledge which is a branch of knowledge that makes you know things by intuition. It was higher than that of any genius today and before now. If you thought was smart and intelligent or you thought Kepler the man who came up with the Napierian Log tables or even Steve Jobs who invented the Apple Software and hardware and every other genius past and present including the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt and the Babylonians. If you think these guys were geniuses with their architectural wonders; check out Adam's score sheet. He named the animals single handedly and even gave Woman her name when God put him to sleep and used a rib of his to create and design man's perfect help meet. Has it occurred to you that Adam was asleep when Eve was created; yet he knew that she was bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh and shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man. The man Adam was a specimen. He was made to not die but to be immortal as God is being made in God's image and likeness. His body wasn't designed to age and wear off or even decay. Everything about this being was P E R F E C T until he fell. Even after the Fall of man and the Curse of God on every living creature and everything man still enjoyed some residue of what was left of the Glory of that Adam before he fell. The Bible lets us know in Genesis chapter 2 that there was no rain on the earth that a mist rose from the earth and condenses to form water which waters the earth. This shows us that Antedilluvian Earth was structured in a way that is not obtainable today. First off the weather conditions wasn't as harsh as it was today. Atmospheric oxygen was higher than it is today which was why the kinda insects of that Era were giants. That aside the race of men and women of that era enjoyed extremely long lives such that the oldest recorded man on earth lived to be 969 years old. The book of Genesis chapter 5 outline a number of this men and their age before they died. Due to the Fall of man, Sin entered the fray and Man fell short of God's standard and became a bad imitation of what he once was but because that wasn't God's original intention for creating Man, another Adam had to come in the person of Jesus to demonstrate to us who we were and how we suppose to live on earth. Jesus came to restore us to our lost Glory and to rekindle our lost relationship with God. He achieved this by stepping into our position as sinners and became Sin so that he can redeem us back to God by accepting to die on the cross. Now that has been achieved, we now have access to God through Jesus by being born again when we acknowledge his Lordship and accept him as our saviour. We can now experience the life Adam experienced in the Garden of Eden. Now as it seems now we may not experience 100% of the life Adam had in the Garden of Eden before the Fall because the whole world at present is under the control of the wicked one who will do everything to thwart God's purpose in our life but we have a weapon which give us an edge over the devil - our unshakable faith in God's word and his promises to the redeemed of the Lord. I want you dear reader to also not miss out on this opportunity for the time is really short. Everything as we know it is winding to a close. It's like a good Hollywood movie. The boss is prepping his last act while the actor is also prepping his last act. The Bible talks about the Unveiling of the Man of Sin A devil incarnate of a man who'll be the devil's instrument of perpetrating Satan's last act of evil on earth before Jesus comes and puts an end to his nonsense at the battle of Armageddon. Take your stand for the Lord now dear reader by confessing the Lordship of Jesus and be born again thus escaping the evil thats coming during the Great Tribulation. The first Adam had it all and gambled it away to the devil. Jesus our last Adam wrest it out of the devil's hand and gave it back to us. Let's side with him Accept him now and be really free from condemnation and Judgement. Till my next post. Be wise. |
Good morning Guys 'Tis a beautiful Monday morning this day is and I wanna share with you a tale of two Kings. In 2005 two young R&B artistes came together to do a gospel song. One was a secular artiste while the other wasn't at the time. They came together to do a song called "Yes." The Gospel one was a controversial very gifted badass by the name "Tonex" while the other was the somehow popular Montell Jordan who at the time was still doing RnB mainstream. They both had one thing in common and it was in their music style. They were both Kings of Falsetto a style of music lyricstry where you sing with your head voice on a high pitch and key coupled with some dynamics which can only be experienced. To listen to these two guys individually is an unforgettable experience so you can imagine what it would be like to listen to this song of theirs which talks about submitting your will and souls to God. Fast forward a few years down the line. Tonex had quit Christianity and now go by the stage name "B Slade while Montell Jordan is now getting serious with God and even did another song titled "Say Yes" which is about saying yes to God's will for your life and not been a nominal Christian. Ain't it funny how life seems to churn out events in the life of two gifted individuals. You can look them up and read about them for clarification. What I really wanna share with you this beautiful Monday morning is that the time is running out. Things are winding to a close. Jesus is coming at any minute soon. Now whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, agree with it or not; The Lord Jesus is coming soon to take His people out of this world with its fading systems. So it will be a wiswise decision to get serious and give your life to Christ and be born again as the Bible spoke of in John chapter 3 because though there be other ways to get to God; Jesus us the only authentic way. Not by acts of kindness, Philanthropic works and church activities. The Bible calls these acts Self Righteousness which are but Filthy rags in God's sight. Get serious, re-dedicate your life to Jesus and not miss what could be the last bus to Heaven. With the heart man believe unto Salvation while you confess with your mouth the Lordship of Jesus. PLEASE DON'T SCOFF AT THIS POST AND DISMISS IT AS OLD WIVES FABLES. It may be your last chance. Perhaps you've been spoken to and you've heard this message across many channels and you're still hardening your heart by rejecting the Lord's prompting to you. Let this post be an evidence of God speaking to your heart again to not miss this opportunity. Don't be like my gospel brother who shunned the true way for the false. Instead chose Jesus and Chose the true Life. Till my next post. Get right so it won't be tight for you when Jesus comes. I love you and the Lord Loves you so much He doesn't want you to face the White Throne Judgement were you're judged by your works here on earth and there's no mercy for you. Please make the right decision now. |
Hello Guys It's a beautiful Thursday and I just wanna make you smile as you read this. Back in the days of the Nokia phone revolution there were several Nokia phones I desired to own but couldn't because of the money and the time not being there to buy and own them. I remember one such brand of Nokia phone that was shaped like a Chocolate bar. Something about that phone made me wanted to own it but I couldn't afford it at the time. Fast forward 10 years later. This was in the late 90s so fast forward to early 2000s and I saw the same phone with a friend and I marveled at its simplicity and blandness and I wondered "was this the same phone I was freaking for back then?". Truth is alot of us have been down this path over many things ranging from gadgets to clothes, footwear and even places. You see as humans we outgrow things. What may be freaking you today may not tomorrow. Will love to read your contributions and know what yours were. |
It cuts across all government establishments of that era. You should see Ikeja GRA if you're complaining of how Festac is. The good thing is that much of the Ikeja GRA is now a business district but what made Festac's case worse is the neglect of the government. If they can just decide to treat the place not as an ordinary estate but a place where revenue can be generated with ease, they'll renovate and revamp the face of Festac again. Like I said earlier it cuts across all government established estates like this all over Lagos. |
adamkkk:You shouldn't be surprised because Burna Boy wasn't born again in the first place which is why he could switch religions at the drop of a heart. It's sad but this is the reality of life. It's the end time folks you're either serious with the Lord or you're not. He has taken his side and only God can recall him back |
Dtruthspeaker:A very wise response indeed!! Sorry for my late response Sir. Thanks for this contribution. The key thing is to avoid grounds for divorce based on selfish reasons. God bless you indeed for this. |
Truvelisback:Sorry for my late response..hasn't been on Nairaland in a long while. Like you said it's for those who can accept it. Now do you think it can be possible to marry and avoid divorce or whatever it is that causes grounds for divorce? I believe it can be possible if the hardness of heart situation can be dealt with. This calls for wisdom. Thanks for your contribution. |
Hello Guys Hard coded into our makeup is the inherent need to believe in something. It may be the words or essence of a man, product or a Supreme Being. Faith is a belief in The Word of God while Fear on the other hand is a belief on the Word or words of the devil or satan. A lot of us will rather put faith in the word of a man or messenger of the devil than on God or his messenger. When you doubt what the Word of God said about you or about your situation, you're automatically placing faith in the word of the devil which ain't good. The Bible said [colour=blue]The just shall live by Faith[/color] four times in the Bible and it's not by accident. It's to underscore the importance of the role of Faith in the life of a believer. When you doubt the words of your creator who made and has your best interest at heart you're scoffing at him indirectly and saying that his word has no meaning to you which in the sight of God is a grave sin so no matter what. No matter how stupid it sounds, never doubt the word of God concerning your situation or any instruction he tells you to do. Just like Abraham who against all hope believed God and obtained the promise of a son in his old age. We should place our faith in God and his word which never fail. Once again belief in God's word is Faith while belief in the words of the devil and his agents is fear. |
Lanre1st:I totally agree. She has come full circle. |
I only have one word to describe this: Ageless |
A mother who behaves like this to our daughter has a lot to answer from God. That said, my advice to the lady is that she leave the guy and try to reconnect with her dad. Unless she wanna remain broken for a long time. |
Dtruthspeaker:Thanks for your apt contribution. Now since it's not hinted at explicitly in the Bible, there's no way I can contest your argument about fornication being the first sin that got our first parents ousted from the garden neither will I pursue that line of thought cos I believe it's encapsulated for a reason. What I do know for certain was they were naked and not ashamed. Perhaps it was when they ate the fruit that theit eyes were opened and they become more aware of baser desires that they never knew was there. It's just me rambling but I won't pursue this line of argument. Come to think of it, the reason for divorce borders on unfaithfulness on the part of the partner involved. According to your first post, you said a divorcee can marry if he or she didn't break the law? Enlighten me some more. Just curious. I thought divorce was supposed to involve two parties. If the person that caused the motion for divorce was the unfaithful one does it mean the other party can remarry while the other one can't remarry? Wow this is deep. I await your response on this Sir. |
