sonssyo:My dear you dey miss. By the time you sauce the prepared snail and dish it like "asun", you'll be converted ASAP!! You Deshell the snails and wash them either with salt or Alum to remove the copious slime. Then you prepare your asun sauce ingredients and place them on the fire to simmer. While on the fire, you fry the snails and put the fried snails into the asun sauce and stir till they're both mixed. When you serve this with a bowl of white rise or mix it in Jollof to make Asun Jollof; my dear, you'll be converted. To finish your guy, now add bits of sliced cowskin into the asun mix. I reserve the remaining comment. |
Efuaye: ![]() Who wan break jaw with roasted corn especially those very hard ones. |
I'm no fan of roasted corn no matter what it's combined with but set a bait for me with "bollie" and peppered sauce and cowskin!! Now you're getting somewhere!!!! |
chimex38:Anything beyond the above is mere formalities which is what some "Christians" practice and think that they're following the model Christ laid down for us before going back to heaven. |
Truthseeker10:You asked an intelligent question so I'll do my best to give you an equally intelligent answer. First off the the lifestyle of Christ is not a religion. It's a living testimony of Christ's walk on earth and His example of how to live a life pleasing to the Father. Before Christ came to earth; mankind was living a life of Sin because of the events that took place in the Garden of Eden where the devil in the form of a serpent deceived Man causing Adam to lose His position of Glory and Authority to become a creature subject to the control of the world and flesh. Before now, man was made in the image of God and His likeness which made man a little God with his own area of influence which included the earth and everything that God had made which includes the plants, animals birds etc. Man was supposed to be an extension of God and the devil knew this which was why to deceive man, he had to first beguile the woman. When man fell, he lost the authority and God like nature he had and became like a mere man subject to every whim and caprice of the devil. God had to send His Son Jesus to come.and reconcile man back to God and to achieve that He had to come through the womb of a Virgin and through a miraculous conception. Before Jesus came to the Earth in bodily form, Man lived by the Law which is a set of rules and rituals man must participate in order to live a life pleasing to Him. Now the law was riddled with so many consequences and rituals that Jesus had to come and show man a better and much easier way which is the Way of Grace. Christianity is the way that Jesus exemplified before man and was also the way Jesus taught His desciples to walk in. Every religion like the mosaic law are riddled with rituals and rules and regulations which must be adhered to but there's a flaw in all religions. You can keep all the precepts. Observe all the rules without being blessed by the spirit of the religion. It's like a driver who drives a car in a reflex mode. You change the gears unconsciously cos your brain through a period of training and use have mastered the rules of driving till you now do things behind the wheel without a conscious thought. That's what religion. Christianity on the other hand as exemplified by its Author Jesus Christ is an active participating adventure of man and His creator. We don't have to pray 5 times a day facing a particular direction, recite some hymns or words all the time and do the same things everyday like it was during the time of the law. When you read the Sermon of the mount in it's entirety you'll have an understanding of what true Christianity is. To become a true Christian, you must first acknowledge your inadequacy of being able to connect to God and recognize the Lordship of Jesus by accepting Him as Lord and Savior of your life why? Because Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. He is the Way to the Father and it's by following His example can we be true Christians. Now other "Christians" who practice religion are not true Christians. For example the Catholics believe that the Word of God is sacred and must be read only by a Priest whereas God had made a new covenant with man where the written law isn't on tablets of stone but in the hearts of men. Don't wanna get too ahead of myself. What I want you to know in simple terms is that Christianity as outlined by our Master and Lord - Jesus, is a lifestyle of Grace and not rules and law Is a lifestyle of Peace Is having a vibrant fellowship and communion with the Father on a daily basis. Take the time to read the Sermon on the mount passages and you'll see what true Christianity is as compared to what is being practiced as Christianity in the world. I have tried to answer your question in as simple a way as possible. If you're still confused lemme know. One more thing you can't be a true Christian without knowing Jesus and accepting him as your Lord and savior. Before I wrap up, have you questioned why Christians are the most attacked of all the so called religions? It's because we Christians are the light of the world pointing the way to the Father which is why we are hated by those who walk in the dark. |
Truthseeker10:The dictionary definition of Christianity is based on the generic view of what Christianity is presumed to be. On that premise I can say Christianity is a religion but before you logout and say I've said what you wanna hear or read. I also stated that it's more than a mere religion. That it's the Christ like lifestyle of living. The apostles were first called Christians by people who observed that they were living the Christlike life. With that in mind, don't you agree that Christianity is more than just a religion? |
Truthseeker10:Stop being confrontational. Stop it Remember what I said in my opening reply to.your previous post? I said for lack of conflict of interest I accepted your dictionary definition and then went further to outline why Christianity ain't just a mere religion and what it really is. If you ain't satisfied with that view. Argue from that angle. Stop taking me back to what I've already cleared the air on. I repeat please stop |
Truthseeker10:Stop emphasizing on a part of something. What kinda truth seeker are you. One who honestly seeks the truth or one who seeks what to nail others with? Read again my response to your previous post and then gimme an honest response not one that smirks of a confrontation. Christianity ain't just a religion |
MaxInDHouse:OK I wasn't condemning you. Was just stating an honest fact and truth. These guys who gave you Good recommendations ain't been 100% true to you. Otherwise I'll have made that list. I'm the last person who'll ever disapprove of someone's view. I used to always agree with people whole heartedly to make them feel good and accepted because at the time I also craved that acceptance so I reasoned that if I approve of you, the same will come back to me. Concerning the scripture you just quoted out of context. How can you claim you are shining the light so men can see when you hold to the claim that only a selected band of followers are the ones recognized by God? Does it mean it ain't possible for me a non JW to have this light and let it shine so that men may see and glorify the good works of the Father? We are Light bearers not a band of people who segregate and assert themselves as the special ones. Once you understand this. Matthew 5:16 will make more sense to you. |
chiagozien:You know your National history don't you? If I'm correct all the igbos ever wanted was a secession. They were dissatisfied with the way things were run by the other major tribes and they decided to create their own Republic. Whatever news being propagated by the west and North is their own opinion. There're always two sides to every story. Research the History. |
Truthseeker10:To avoid conflict of interest. Let's just say I agree with you but permit me to add that True Christianity is more than just a religion even by that dictionary definition. It's a lifestyle. It's walking in the footsteps of Jesus and living His kind of life. The Life He gave us when He left this earth. The Eternal Life. This might be hard for you to accept but it's the truth. For if Christianity was just a mere religion as some Christian sects practice and observe. Then the purpose of Christ coming to earth to redeem. Man back to God would have been in vain. Christianity in its truest form always points man back to God through the written and the revealed Word of God |
Hello Guys It's Throwback Thursday and I was supposed to post a nostalgic national history but I won't be doing that today. Our country is blessed with the very best. We are positioned in the best position on the map. We occupy a very pivotal position in the African Continent and we're blessed with so much mineral and natural resources insomuch that despite the mismanagement of these resources, we as a people are still surviving and thriving. We're like a desert cactus. Thriving in the midst of the worst conditions possible. We've survived ethnic crashes, insecurities, bandit syndromes, civil war and pandemic outbreaks and the End Sars saga. Throughout all thsee, we've been so pushed to the point of collapse but like an actor that never dies in a movie; we've always found our feet and our resolve. Nigeria the Great nation that was made up of mighty empires who thrived and made their mark in history that it caught the attention of the Europeans who had to Amalgamate us so we can be better controled but instead they made us stronger. This Giant of Africa who is the only black nation with clout in the world. Whose strength lies in her diversity is indeed a great nation. I'm proud of my history from the ancient Nok people to the tribes that formed the various ancient empires like the Sokoto Caliphate, Borno Empire, Kano Empire, Oyo Empire and the Benin Empire. We have come a long way before and after independence. In conclusion I wanna say that our Queen is still the noble Queen she is. She may have ostracized and criticized by many and be made a butt of jokes and satirical subject by her children yet she is great, blessed and full of grace. I love my country and I'm still proud of her. She has been through a lot but I still see her smile through the pain. I still see the gracefulness in her gait. I still see the marks of royalty in her. A royalty that others has plundered and abused but can't dim or take away. Nigerians are strong, noble and Optimistic We are stronger together cause that's where our true strength lies. It's probably why efforts to segment her as before is still unattainable. |
fabolouz1:Yeah it did because those breed of the military were of the old stock. The ones now...will only make things worse. |
Konjiboii:You seem to forget that the Military of today ain't the same as before. Then it was simply about duty but now they're in the control of the one in power and he who pays the piper dictates the tune If I'm wrong, let's see what happens should the military take over power again. |
chiagozien:Good met North, West, East and Midwest If I'm correct. |
dominique:As if you don't know how cases like this plays out. Surveillance cameras or not. If it was a murder. Ain't nothing can be done about it. It's just sad. |
RandDigital:You just wrote the first thought that came to my mind after reading this. This looks like a suicide but it smells like...murder. If it's really suicide, he must have been pressured into it otherwise it's something else. Chai! It's well |
donMIG:I also appreciate your honesty. It's the reason God won't give up on you yet. |
MaxInDHouse:Whose approval do you seek? Men or God. I've been following your comments in other posts and mine. If you know me well you'll know I'm not one who just tell you the honest truth unless it's very important. All the while we've been arguing or trying to reason out a matter you've been going round in circles and I can see you don't like conceding defeat. You love to win in an argument and it's not bad in itself only that in your case, your arguments are a Hamster's Ferris Wheel all the guys whose accolade you just put up as support of your style ain't 100% honest with you. My Bible tells me to Study and show yourself approved. A workman rightly dividing the word of truth. I don't know how your Bible puts it but you need to study the word and present your arguments in such a way that even a student of the word will commend you. Like I said earlier. Take a look at yourself. This ain't just about your denomination as a JW. This is about you. How right about the word are you. A true Student if the scriptures have many references to back all his or her arguments. You only have your JW and even that is faulty and yet you refuse to see. I feel really really sorry for you. I'll continue to be very honest to you. You may decide to hate me or dislike me and not have anything to do with me for not telling you things you wanna hear or read. It's your call. I'll continue to be that lone voice who'll keep telling you the truth. |
donMIG:Hmm It's your choice. We've all been there. Maybe not at the level you've been through but I've been there too. I leave you in God's hand. |
yorosstores:You should have still return it. That's integrity. |
donMIG:One more thing Money can't guarantee you happiness. It'll only cosmeticize your problems and put them on a bigger pedestal. Contentment is the key to real happiness |
donMIG:I dey feel you my guy but we're products of God and we can't be complete without Him. Whatever it is you're seeking to make you happy is only in the God who made you. The Pursuit of Happiness ends in Christ . He is your everything. God will see you through but first make peace with Jesus. Return to Him while the opportunity is still and acknowledge Him as the Lord of your life and let Him know the challenges you're facing. Lemme tell you a Lil story. Before I lost my dad, I used to think he was God. He was everything to us. Whenever we have a need. He was always there to meet it even when he was ill and had spent most of his money to sort health issues, he still found a way to get our needs met concerning our education. God took him away so I can learn to depend on Him more. You can't be complete without Jesus. Just make up your mind today. Get honest with Him letting Him.know the challenges you're facing and how hard it is on you and He'll come through for you. He'll fill that hole in your heart and fill you with Peace inexplicable and indescribable. Give your life to Jesus |
MaxInDHouse:You're doing it again!! Arguing out of context. If you were a lawyer, you'll lose many a case. When Jesus' family came to look for him when he was teaching the word to a group. What did he tell them. Who are my brothers and sisters but the one who does my will. After that he didn't segregate them. He still treated them like His earthly family. You're lucky you have someone who know you well enough to point out this blind spot of yours to you. A time will come when you'll crave this opportunity and it won't be there. Concerning the bolded. That truth is Your own interpretation like I said in the previous post. We will know who's lying and who's not. Keep holding on to a fluffy doctrine The scales will fall from your eyes and you'll see |
cassyrooy:You're right on point brother. I don't pray that for anyone. Especially when it happened at a moment you really need them around you |
gigabyte13:Amen brother. Thanks for the encouragement. I pray same for you too. |
Chummynoni:You're missing the point. I found this tin of milk on the roadside and a very busy roadside at that in Fagba Iju environs. It was like a milk seller accidentally dropped it without knowing. That's it. |
gohf:My guy we're saying the same thing. I'm just prepared for whichever one it's gonna be. But current events points to a Post tribulation rapture. As we speak Palestine has been made a state. Now as at the time I read it's not been fully confirmed yet but all is set for the appearing of the man of Sin. Only that when he comes he'llaro not reveal himself outright but he'll first deceive many with a false peace treaty that he'll break and set up image and demand to be worshipped as God. We should be more concerned on living ready than looking out for signs of Jesus' coming |
gigabyte13:Mercy came through for you. Keep the faith bro. Lemme tell you one of my Hunger miracles. That day I had zero Kobo on me and I was just walking to church one early morning and came across several garden eggs someone had bought and threw away because the person thought they were all bad. It turned out that only a few of them were bad the rest was my nourishment till I got home or would I fail to mention one time I found a full tin of Peak Milk on the roadside one hot afternoon as I was strolling about trying to take my mind off the gnawing Hunger. |
MaxInDHouse:Stop referencing scripture out of context to back up what's faulty. The people Jesus was praying for in John 17 was his disciples and they're not a separate group of people as you rightly claim. You just love to argue and the funny thing is your arguments are devoid of wisdom. They're programmed to incite dissent instead of constructive views which are presented to make someone learn. You should just stop. It's not helping you. In your own word: Who is a disciple? The one who walk in the footsteps of Jesus or a select band of guys who hold to their views and elevate themselves above others? |
gohf:That's where you're wrong. It's not "and" but "or" You can't hold to two views at once; that's stupidity. I'm prepared either way. Whether Jesus comes before the tribulation or He comes after the tribulation is what I'm prepared for. |
MaxInDHouse:You just confirmed what I guessed and I feel really sorry for you. Anyways I'm just a human vessel with faults so I shouldn't judge. |
