PeterObi4Presid:
Since you are a Christian, it is good that our conversation can be predicated on the Bible. If so, then your rejecting the idea of Heaven and Hell as written in the Bible means you don't genuinely and completely believe in the word of Christ. Perhaps you don't have good understanding of the scripture, or you never had a spiritual encounter and prophetic revelations, or you are just plainly befuddled by unbelief.... So consider the foundation of your problems, search your heart if you truly believe the word of Christ, otherwise u need to seek help.
..
Now you said Bible is not complete, this is a statement generally heard amongst the agnostics or the atheist, a Christian uttering such is joking with his faith and salvation, in fact that Christian may not even be saved in the first place. So go and examine your claim to salvation if it's truly genuine.

And if it's genuine, then you need to do a lot of research about the historicity of the Bible, and how it was preserved over centuries, and how it was canonized. Try to understand the difference between the canonized books, apocryphals and the modalities for the segmentation. A Christian may have doubts, but if you understand that Jesus, Peter, Paul, and the Apostles all read the old Testament diligently and quoted verbatim from it diligently, then your trust in the old testament, at least the ones they quoted from should stir up.
.
..
Now you spoke about white bringing Christianity to us and all those racial sentiment that might make you get cynical about the Bible, that's okay, but there's some gap in your understanding of how the Bible and Christianity truly came to us:

1. The whites didn't bring or pioneer Christianity. The whites just happen into the history of how Christianity was spread, just as everyone has a stake in spreading it till Jesus will come.
.
2. Christianity was brought and first spread by Christ, then by the Apostles of Christ who were jews, not whites, then they took it to the Greeks, Romans, Asians, even to the Jews, etc after Christ died. if you read your Bible well. Remember even majority of the Jews dint accept Christianity even till now, and Christianity was a very minority group or sect whose pioneers had to die for the truth. I'm still talking of the Apostles and Christ here. So does this look like whites dying to spread Christianity?

After their mathyr by the whites, you see, it was even whites that first started killing the adherents of Christianity. It was Romans, who are white that killed Christ. So understand the history....
.
Now when Christianity refused to die till the 4th century, note that at this point, the book of the believers was old Testament as kept by the legacy of the jews, and the epistles of the Apostles that was written and sent to the churches. So theres no interference by white as of now.

The so called real interference began during the period of Constantine in 4th century. And you should understand Constantine was not a Christian, he was pagan just as his society was pagan because history tells us the names of the gods, temples and deity the society subscribed to in Rome.

But in the midst of this paganistic and polytheistic milieu, Christianity continued to grow though during the reign of emperor Nero before Constantine, Christians were still being cracked down until Constantine try to use Christianity as a political chip to consolidate his reign, make history for himself, and made it a religion the state took interest in. Notice that government was monarchical this period. And Constantine was the sole controller, this period was the period Catholicism was Instituted and turned to an institution with tentacles with the state. It was independent before this period.
.
Understand that state interference into Christianity was political not spiritual. If you understand this point, you will also understand how political institutions can lash unto any mechanism to further their interest. See the way Westerners use Islam to create political problems in the world today.
.
This interference lead to a whole lot of corruption in Catholicism and in the truth, but it never affected the old Testament books because they already existed. The books were only compiled this time, not edited. Epistles were also gathered together, not edited. And by then the church knew which book was recent, which book was controversial and which book held Apostolic authority through history. Note that compilation of these books was done for history, teaching not for the general access by the populace because the church hoards it.
..
Catholicism became a political institution using religious authority to consolidate power, since their power also has political backing ... This led to what is called the dark ages.... Where the light of the Gospel was killed and Christianity/Catholicism was used by the state to engender any sentiment or political agenda. This is what led to the period known as dark ages because many biblical truth was hidden from people, and the state+Catholics hoard and used religion to exercise veto power... The spirituality of the scripture has been stripped and Gospel turned to the Phariseestic model of the period of Christ.
This continued Until the period of Reformation when the truth came back to light and genuine Christians arose to start fighting authority of the then political church and the Reformers starts translating the scripture from Latin/Greek to English, German for general access. Thank the Reformers like Calvin, Martin Luther, etc, this was the beginning of light that began to spread gospel in its true form and mandate and Europe began to war against monarchical rule which had used Catholicism to control people, to kill people for blasphemy, to champion inquisition and crusaders. This was the work of the Whites that that merged religion and the state (monarchy) to perpetuate their interest......
.
When Europe began to war against monarchical rule during the period of Renaissance/Reformation period, of course missionary work started by private individuals who have seen the light and caught the call of the Gospel. Of course Catholicism was already a giant, however Reformers who cut away from Catholicism began spreading the Gospel to Europe, America, Africa.. Catholics also join, and at this point was when Europe began slave trade.

It is very important to understand that Europe that began slave trade were merchants and political Europe. Not the reformers or missionaries, though some unscrupulous missionaries were complicit and aligned with the traders. So once again, the new proliferation of the religion was seen as a tool that could be used in their colonization agenda. Remember it's the reformers that fought racism and ended slave trade in America.

The coincidence of missionary work and slave trade into Africa can make you think the religion came because of need for slaves, but that's not the truth, the religion was only used by the slave merchants against the grain of the Gospel. (Coincidence) Just as Constantine used it to consolidate power, and the dark ages used it for control against the intent of Christ or the Apostles that founded it without the input of the whites
.
Up till today, the fusion of religion and state is always a tool not for salvation but for exploitation. So, any form where you see religion, pastors, fusing with the state it's always an attempt to use religion to further political and personal interest... That is what man is capable of, corrupting the intent of scripture. That's the problem of religion all over the world. The problem is man using it for exploitation, not the letter of the scripture being the problem....
This is why Christian spirituality is different from Christian religion

You just summarize the 2000 years history of Christianity. Did you do church history in the seminary?

BeautybyTy:
Good evening Nairalanders.
I am a pretty lady with the right face and body structure with just enough to take care of myself. I am in my 30s but I am not in a hurry to settle down. Yes I have the desire but I am cool.

I came on this family post because of one issue, whenever a man is asking me out they are always so excited about me. Infact they can go crazy, buy me gifts ,money etc but, I noticed that they all complain that I do not call or reciprocate by checking up on them (which is weird) when we are talking..

Growing up,men did the chasing without any complaints and I am built that way. These guys want to speak with me few times in a day which I love but they always complain that i do not initiate the conversation a few times in a week or a day

Two of them have told me they even refrain from calling in a whole day just to see if I would care but I ended up not calling at all.

What brought me to this site is that one of the current talking atage keeps complaining bitterly about it and is asking that I set an alarm each day so I can tell him :
1. When I am at work
2. When I am having lunch
3. When I am leaving the office
I feel when someone loves you, this is not supposed to be a big deal.
We are barely one month in this talking stage, I just want to be sure he is invested first before I start throwing my cards out.

Please help. Thanks

It is only a teenager that behaves this way that maybe acceptable. I don't think you are ready to settle down, if you are still behaving like this at your age. I'm sorry if that maybe insultive. If someone just met is calling you cannot call back, what that is showing is that you are not interested in the that person.
One of the things that got me attracted to my wife was her caring attitude. We were friends for over a year before I wooed her, anytime she didn't see me or heard from me she will call. In fact those days she called me more than I call her. So try and call back, it shows that you are matured. The only exception is that if you didn't like him at all.

This is not normal, man is social animal and if you are finding it difficult to do that is a character defect, remember red pill and other stuff like that are just the doctrine of men, it will take to you to nowhere. Be compassionate and show love to others. Peace.

skybeginner:
Nairaland has continued to bless me for over a decade and counting in ways beyond expression which has translated into mega jobs, investment opportunities and opportunities to birth abroad- just to mention a few. Oh! I forgot to add, I met my darling spouse here on Nairaland in 2014 and our marriage is over a decade and counting Sorry to digress off point

So to the discourse of this thread, This year, I will be forty years of age; looking back at how far I have come, my heart is filled with so much gratitude and I really want to give to this community, my own first ever CSR for the opportunities I have enjoyed from here.

I have two cohorts for the CSR. The first cohort is for small businesses. The second cohort is for those interested in being equipped with corporate skills for the work place that makes your CV stand a good chance for being the employer's choice after interviews. I'll share more details about that in the Career Section much later.

For now, the Business community here would be enjoying the largesse-for those that are interested.

40 people will be given the opportunity to boost their businesses with one hundred thousand naira worth of products- given to you FREE of CHARGE, with little or no stress. The only thing is for you to prove that you are in business, or want to be in business using the leverage of this opportunity.

If you are interested, you are free to indicate interest here.

The call for proposal opens tomorrow by 9 a.m. WAT and closes immediately we reach the targeted number-40. It's on first come, first served basis.

Until then, take good care of yourselves and businesses

I'm interested sir, I'm into tomato and okro farming and looking forward to expand my farming business this year.

armchairscholar:
I find this topic particularly fascinating.

Historically while glossolalia (speaking in tongues) has been present since the early particularly at Pentecost, its modern manifestation often differs significantly from the biblical account. The gift described in Acts involved speaking in actual foreign languages to spread the Gospel, whereas what's being described here appears more aligned with the charismatic movement that emerged in the 20th century.

What particularly interests me from a psychological standpoint are the physical sensations described – the electrical feelings, dizziness, and altered states of consciousness. These experiences aren't unique to Christian practice; similar phenomena have been documented across various religious and meditative traditions. The sensations described – buzzing, burning sensations, and dissociative states – are well-documented responses to prolonged rhythmic activity and hyperventilation, which often accompany intense prayer sessions.

But I'm concerned about the assertion that Christians without this particular gift are somehow spiritually stunted. This doesn't align with Christian teaching about the diversity of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11), where Paul explicitly states that different members of the Body of Christ receive different gifts, all equally valuable. I worry about promoting any single spiritual expression as superior to others or necessary for spiritual growth.

What are your thoughts on this? I'd be curious to hear your perspective.

I really want to appreciate your for responding in a mature way. The Lord will continue to bless you. I'm not trying to project any particular gift above other, I was just trying to make us see the reasons why tongues speaking is very important. You cannot explain anything in bible by isolating a single bible verse or passage. Speaking in tongues can be articulate lang but will not be understood by the speaker, it can also be totally unknown language as stated in the book of 1 Corinthians 14: 2 'For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit. It is clearly stated in this scripture quoted that tongues speaking is not an articulate lang but mysteries that is uttered to God. In the book of Act 10:44 the stated it clearly that as Peter was preaching, Holy Spirit descended on the hearer of his message and they began to blast in tongues. It was not stated in that passage that what they were uttering were articulate or human lang. The book of 1 Corinthians chapter 12 to 14 explains this further. So it is clearly stated in the bible that speaking in tongues can be human lang or totally unknown lang.
Concerning experienced I shared above is not limited to when I'm praying even when I'm teaching my class as Sunday school teacher, it can be activated, I begin to feel the burning sensation the moment that happens, Holy Spirit will just take over everything. The experience is different from what other religions have documented.

One of the most precious in gift in the body of Christ is the blasting of tongues. Sincerely, if you are christian and you do not have this gift you are really missing a lot and your spiritual growth will be stunted.
This is my own personal experience, when I begin to speak in tongues for like 30 mins, 1 or 2 hours, I begin to sense the feeling of electricity over my body, as I continue the intensity will increase, my energy level will increase leading to increase in my vibration, then as the intensity increases, I begin to feel dizzyness and sometimes, I won't be able to stand at this point I will not know anything going on in my your environment again, at this juncture, I will not be using my own enerygy to pray again but only divine energy and I can go like that for hours and I will not want to stop.
One of the things I also feel, is the feeling of presence of heavily beings and sometimes there will be buzzling in my ear, I begin to ear sounds and the feeling of little burning in my heart will continue throughout the day as long I maintain my constant prayer life.
These are the few things I want to share for now and they are my personal experience. I want genuine christians to share thier own experience too here, sincerely the spiritual realms is the gateway to reality.

Flesh22:
Good afternoon all, there is the girl I meet newly, where me and brother just rented somewhere in Lagos, she is very beautiful and intelligent for her age, though matured somehow, she look like someone that is 17, I guess from her mother. And me on the other hand, am scared of girls, really don't know how to talk to them, but yesterday when I told my friend, he said we should go to her mom shop, act as if we want to get something, then from there I talk to her, so I did as instructed, so when we go to the shop, she was more beautiful than I thought, a goodness, my friend started the conversation, then I continue, all through my stay at her mom shop, she was happy, laughing as if we already known each other for month, I really had a good time, did some introduction and the rest, then I left.
Later in the evening, as I was about going to buy fuel for the gen, she blocked me on my way, she was was smiling and also introduce herself to me again , but then I had no time to talk to her, just smiled back and told her later, because I needed to get to the filling station on time, so they won't close. Though I have not seen her till now, maybe she went to church, base on my conclusion she do like me, am not saying base on our conversation yesterday, but because of constant eye to eye contact and she normally ask about me when am not around from my brother and when I come to her shop to get something, she always want to attend to me, am I right with all this conclusion, I think yes.
My problem is the age difference, am 28 and she is 13, I want to tell her today that I like her, like they say age just a number, I like this girl, should I continue with this and make her my gf, what do guys think, thanks as I await ur response.

The tone of your post is like that of 16years old boy, I'm sorry to say this bro. A 28 years old is old enough to settle down and marriage should be on your mind, so go for ladies of marriageable age from 23 years upward.
As we speak now, rape is life imprisonment in Nigeria, do not think of going for that kid.

This guy too, Johnnydon22, I miss him too

Chaii, how did you know all these?

SporaD8:
So you've not heard... that Nairaland has long outlived it's usefulness due to the owners ineptitude. Check the type of thread making it to Frontpage of recent and you will understand.
Even the owner himself has abandoned his Forum for Tribalists, Terrorists, Fraudsters and Purveyor of fake news; how much more great thinkers who've got something worthwhile to do with their times!

Sincerely, you are correct my guy.

Caaz:
He's Dead like 3 years ago....may onos soul find comfort in the blossom of the lord.

First time of hearing this. May his soul rest in peace.

Moshybear:
Good day nairalanders. So this is a true story of my life and i am currently having mixed feelings maybe your comments will make me have a peace of mind (Hopefully)

Back then in school (IMSU) I had this roommate called Juliet ( not real name). For those who attended IMSU you will know that Hookup was full blown even before other Universities got acquainted with it. I look at Young girls doing it now and i just smile.

Anyways back to the story, this roommate of mine never lacked anything. Was it groceries, expensive hair, Phones, laptops etc , you name it. And this girl was from a poor background. I know her parents.

Rich Guys have rented very expensive apartments for her more than three times but she still chose to be roommates with me so as to chop their money and have savings.

I know you guys will be expecting a sad ending for her but this is not Nollywood. Presently she visits countries around the world like Dubai, Paris, London, LA , New York, Greece etc like breeze. I saw this girls posts and story on Instagram and couldn't believe my eyes.

However me back then was hoping on love and was dating a broke guy back then who later got me pregnant and i was refusing advances from very rich older men as an understanding girlfriend and wife to be ( foolish me) . Doing all the chores for this boy who later dumped me and the child as soon as he graduated and moved overseas. Since we graduated, this guy has never asked of my welfare nor sent a kobo to me for the upkeep of our "daughter".

Right now even to feed is a difficulty not to talk of accomodations.

So Nairaland people was i foolish to believe in Love at the expenses of a good life?

Thanks for reading this far.

I will really appreciate your responses. God bless

I still have a lot of info but let me stop here for now.

My dear, you have to take responsibility for your action. Premarital sex is not just a sin but a destroyer of destiny. Believes in love is good, but you have to wait for the man to pay your bride price and do it at the right time. As for your friend never envy anyone in life, you don't know what they are passing through.

omoh.........am in yenagoa,26yrs,not married,as for education,i'm nt a graduate bt am done with secondary sch.

talking abt skill,i don't have any.

What we call stagnation is as a result of what you do or fail to do. At 26 years old is not a crime if you are not a graduate, but it is a very great problem if you lack no skill. My guy tell me, how are you going to survive, except, if you indulge in crime Which is very bad. The world is too cruel for you not to have any skills in this digital world.

Ourtruth247:
The Jesus consciousness

The subject I'm about to touch on is one that has confused me for many years, only recently did all the pieces begin to fall into place and now I can see the full picture.

The best way to hide the truth isn't to conceal it, but rather to distort it and hide it in plain sight. This is how the controllers of our world keep us from finding the truth.

The person we know of Jesus was a 6th dimensional consciousness that took on human form to try to lead humans on Earth to the truth. He knew that the only way humans would be saved was if the collective consciousness of all the humans on Earth was higher than that of the 4th dimensional rulers of the planet.

Sadly the human form of this Jesus consciousness was killed by the very same humans he tried to save, his physical form was distorted and misrepresented as something different, and his teaches were inverted.

A humiliating carving of him hanging on a cross was created as a mockery of him and as a warning to other beings of higher consciousness not to waste their time coming to earth to save humanity, as they would meet a similar fate.

Humans were then manipulated into worshipping that mockery.

Unfortunately for the controllers, they couldn't capture the soul of the Jesus consciousness after the death of his physical body and his soul escaped their prison grid and returned to where he originally came from. This story has been distorted and retold in various ways.

In your previous thread you said Jesus is on the 7th dimension consciousness and Budha is on 6th dimension. What can you say about that?

These numbers are from loan apps, use the Truecaller to find out the identify of the caller.

There is a deposit of power in you, align your heart more with Jesus and he will show you endless possibilities you can even imagine.

Mikuni:
I have been experiencing this subtle flow of electricity in my body. When I direct it at something, it does wonders.

I was diagnosed with ulcer two months ago. I tried taking antacids and antibiotics, but I didn't see improvement. The pain was too much especially after eating something heavy.


I directed the surge to my belly, and in 3 days, I was able to eat anything without pains. The ulcer vanished completely.

The surge comes anytime I pray in tongues. I don't have to move my lips to pray.

Does anyone experience this? How can I increase the power?

I experience this too in my personal prayer, when I'm teaching or leading prayer. You can only increase it with consistent prayer life by speaking in tongues for long couple with life of purity.

chinae:
I do also, mine isn't via dream and it's usually the moment they are together. If I call immediately, they usually will not take the call them comes back with one bullcocky stories.

This is great! Most of these ladies aren't loyal at all.

This is a trap, this is a means of making our leaders not be creative and innovative because Africa is seen as where they get their resources from. The moment we wake up they know they are doomed.

Fiscus105:
I will advice you to tactically know the extent to which she entered street, this would give u clue of what to come and how to battle ready to tackle it.

Oga some ladies entered street beyond normal and it turned them to street girls already.

No amount of caring, monitoring and good sex can tame the street in her......."for they come from street and the street they go back"

I give you this advise cos of ur future children oo.

God bless you. If you marry someone who has dated several guys and had many abortions as wife, it will hunt you in the future. Never marry a damaged woman as wife.

Proserpina:
Please can you use your gift to see into the future of Nigeria if we ever get to where #1=$1

Nigeria as a nation will not succeed, there is nothing you can do about it.
The end SARS that happened in Nigeria in 2020 is just a shadow of what is coming in Nigeria. A massive revolution is coming that is going going to sweep across the length and breadth of this country and bring everything into standstill. This will lead to disintegration of Nigeria but amidst this chaos, new and powerful nations will rise from the ashes of what is left behind, those nations will be powerful and become the wonders of the world.

blazepascal:
1. You must never agree to have sex with a married man no matter what he promises or professes. Never!

2. Never agree to have sex with your boss. If the harassment becomes too much, resign and trust God for a better job.

3. If God put people under your care to mentor, it is better you die than to have sex with them. Never take advantage of God's people no matter what.

4. Don't have sex with a married woman. If you are getting too much attached via chatting, official or academic rapport, break up the closeness or whatever name you have for it.

5. Never have sex with your lecturers. Sex for grades or marks is for nonentity. You are not. Never must you be.

6. If you are a marketer, never agree to sleep with a prospective client just to meet your official target. Never!

7. Don't have sex with your in-laws. If he or she stays with you and you are finding it difficult to resist the pull, let him or her leave. I mean latest tomorrow.

8. Don't have sex with your neighbour or colleague. A neighbour is a neighbour. A colleague is a colleague. Don't get your life more complicated.

9. Don't have sex with your platonic friend. If the relationship is no longer platonic, break up the thing.

10. God created sex to be between male and female. Stay away from having sex with your same gender. God is against homosexuality / Lesbianism and Beastialism.

11. Don't have sex with your close siblings or relatives that God forbid marriage with. Incest is vile.

12. Don't have sex with your girlfriend. Don't have sex with your boyfriend. God did not create sex for such relationships. He created it for MARRIAGE.

The only sex you should have is with your legally married partner.

God please Save Us from sin in all ramifications.

This is great! God bless
