Bekwarra, Nice writing style. I love your details.

No pride in violence but Mushin tops island IMO but like you said,for sentimental reasons I rest my case.

Violence on the island is only when it starts and its really a heat BUT you can bear witness that streets in mushin are always on read alert everyday. E.g In Akala,if you don't belong to the hood/have any business with the guys on the street,you're not welcome. No smile on the faces of those street thugs o.

You can still walk in most places on the island only to be cautious of sudden pick-pocket and bag snatchers BUT mushin guys go "chance" you openly and ask you to hold your footwear and run. One of the reason for the common clash will be that the person might go and reload for a counter attack.
Ebute-meta should be on the list too. It will drop surulere off the list. I'm 'lere breed though.

Iyana-iba area also because LASU guys (na dem spoil that area)

PastorOluT:
I quite agree with ur summation, bt that Judas repented I dont. He was just being remorseful of his action when one is bound to when he is caught...

I quite agree with you on the "remorse" as against repentance. Here's a commentary by John Macarthur

Judas’s remorse was not repentance of sin, as
the King James version suggests. Matthew did not
use metanoeo, which means a genuine change of
mind and will, but metamelomai, which merely
connotes regret or sorrow. He did not experience
spiritual penitence but only emotional remorse.
Although he would not repent of his sin, he could
not escape the reality of his guilt. Genuine sorrow
for sin (metamelomai) can be prompted by God
in order to produce repentance (metanoeo), as
Paul declares in 2 Corinthians 7:10. But Judas’s
remorse was not prompted by God to lead to
repentance but only to guilt and despair.

Only that in this case also,one must note that the repentance can only be aided by God for no man can come to the father except he (God) draws him to himself. This does not necessarily suggest that God is chasing such away (in deed) but that you can't reach him unless draws you (in deed) to himself.

Take Pharaoh for example. If it was not expressly written that God hardened his heart (after Pharaoh's own evil nature and intent) and somehow someone suggested it, we "might" not accept it because that will make God appear somehow.

PastorOluT:
And for him being d most suitable among d 12 to betray d Lord, I agree bt it shouldnt had been him for tho one would be d culprit bt it could be anyone. Judas has every opportunities every other person had, so it wasnt a must for him.

Now d prophecy only reveal d person of Judas not that it compel or made it mandatory for him to betray d master...

Well,if you ask me,it would have been him. If there is any of the animals that would return to the vomit,it would be the dog. So,if there's a dog among the animals,it doesn't have to be compelled,it will play its role.

PastorOluT:
Stay blessed bro n compliment of d season

Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen.

PastorOluT:
Hmm, what determines the scapegoat...?

Truth is, I don't really know. IMO however,I'll say peter and judas are the two extremes if the disciples are to be numbered 1...12.

I've always been of the opinion that our strength and weaknesses are linked.

My opinion of their strength is that Peter has self confidence and he is outspoken (and he's also a risk taker) WHILE Judas is a financial expert hence his being the treasurer.

Peter's self confidence was what made him boast that though others betray Jesus,he will not...but soon enough his weakness surfaced as his strength was tested.

Judas' strength is tied to a much bigger obstacle. That which men will worship without knowing. MONEY. (ye cannot serve God and money at the same time).

The money ruled over him. He was deceived as he didn't know how far it can lead him (as we can see that he also repented. He returned the money BUT couldn't believe how far he had been dragged into the mess so he gave up)

PastorOluT:
... and was it a must that it will be Judas?

Well,I think he was the most suitable (and available person) for the position.

The scapegoat can't find its way back.

vooks:
Chai!

If I may add, we have a good grasp of Christian history to know that infant baptism is a late invention, 4th century to be precise and hitherto unknown. Christians would do well to study Christian history. If they did, they'd appreciate the fact that most of what they dearly cling to are traditions of men

No,christians like to be spoon-fed. That's one of the reasons for the spread of the thorns.

More like the days latin was read to the people.

Esdb3:
Last bullet; these things are just to show appreciation to GOD if you keep thinking it is to enrich your pastor stop giving it cause it is wastage.

You're on a right path with the point above.
.
Whosoever pays tithe, pays to God (because he does so by faith). And whosoever does not pay, he does not pay to God (because he does so by faith).
.
Do you have faith? Have it of yourself towards God. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Adapted from Rom 14)

Cutehector:
there was also a reason why God asked abel and cain to gv to him a tenth of what dey produced...

I never knew God asked Cain and Abel to bring a tenth. Did I miss it?

That is some "Orijinal" sin.

The warning is written all over the pages...but they are actually riding on the sensation of the (ignorant) people; my people being destroyed for lack of knowledge.

2Pet 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

1Tim 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Open scam. Mike been milking the flock since whenever.

tpiar:
Have the registrar give it to you when you marry, or collect it from your bride.

Really, nlers whine and nag too much over the same thing every single day, its annoying.

the other guy had a valid point but YOU are just typing for typing sake.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

timifakay:
Had to put groom in the statement due to the way some ladies make it sound like it's possible to hold the event without one, whereas in alot of cases the groom does the most in bringing this dream to reality. He does the wooing, convincing, proposing, and payment of bride price, yet it's all about the bride...

All na end time things.
.
Changing the order of life.
.
Attend registry marriage and see the registrar hand over the marriage certificate to the bride "for safe keep".

timifakay:
The wedding ceremony is meant for people and not God - entertainment of human guests. God will not come to wine and dine with you during any of the receptions or ceremonies.

You have spoken well.

timifakay:
So as a couple (bride and groom to be) you are to choose how you want your marriage contracted or the wedding ceremony you want.

In this also, you have spoken well.
You have one like from me.

PastorAIO:

Toor,how I for do nah? Before person come send me "holy ghost fire"

adjoviomole:
4o because u are d son of d president, d church shld brk der rule for u?.......d church av der set rule n dey will nt amend it for anyone...must u wed in d church. If u wed outside d church will not hold u,or stop u frm comn to church. Simple,now do u get my point,if nt pls don't quote me again.tanks n God bless u

Ok. I get your point.

adjoviomole:
So impregnating A woman you are yet to wed is a good thing to u?.

You really don't get the point. You're talking based on subjective apologetic (of morality) sentiment.

adjoviomole:
Even d part u quoted in d bible shows dat it was nt a good tin

What you should be checking is the purpose of the injunction. Why do you think the law was put in place?
However,back to the earlier point, the law said they should get married. It didn't say the "pastor" should exercise his "power" to cancel their wedding because of premarital sex.

adjoviomole:
because d dude was forced to do all d rights.marriage is not by force

That is the "consequence. More like saying since you two love one another so much as to have done that, then you should get married.
I didn't make the law,neither did I place it in your copy of the bible. If you don't agree with it, just tell yourself that "it's old testament". That'll settle the matter.

adjoviomole:
Dats d old testament,we are no longer in d period of do n die,but in d period of grace"look n live"

If I had bet my life that you'll say "that's the old testament", I'll still be very much alive by now. I'm not surprised.
.
I really do not know how to help in this case anymore. I hope someone else can help explain to you.

adjoviomole:
D bible did nt say so. D fact still remains dat once u av nt wedded her,she aint urs yet.

That means you're not aware.
.
Here:
.
.
Suppose a woman isn't engaged to be married, and a man talks her into sleeping with him. If they are caught (not necessarily in the act, might be due to pregnancy), they will be forced to get married. He must give her father fifty pieces of silver as a bride price and can never divorce her. Deut 22: 28-29

TruthHurts1:
Apart from opening yourself to criticism, you've shown yourself up to be very stupid too. There are so many references to marriage in the Bible:

Mark 10 VS 8 to 9; 1 Corinthians 7:1 - 7:40 - Ephesians 5:22 -
5:33 - Ephesians 5:25 - 5:33

Just to mention a few.

Secondly, you're confusing "wedding" with "marriage". Wedding is a ceremony, marriage is an institution.
The Bible laid down the template of a Christian marriage as the voluntary union of a man and woman for the rest of their lives. What manner of ceremony they choose in solemnising their union does not matter as long as the SUBSTANCE of the union complies with Biblical standards.
I sense you are not a Christian and that may account for your ignorance. And if indeed you call yourself a Christian, it is possible you may be living a lie. Read the Bible well before disparaging it, or God's wrath will abide on you.

You know what he's trying to say. Don't leave the issue and dwell on his words (at surface level)

Gaborone:
Now, what we call 'church wedding' is actually the court marriage properly so called.

I don't think so. Neither do churches think so.

Will you then say that the islamic wedding is also the court marriage (if it issues certificate, licensed by the government)?

adjoviomole:
Once ur wife is pregnant b4 marriage dats fornication. You have not wedded her n u got her pregnant.y shld d church join u 2geda?.



, Besides its nt by force to wed in d church,u can go to other places if u cannot abide by d churchs rule and d edicts of God according to d bible,no one will condemn u. God bless u

@the bolded. Because the bible said so.

Let's say FG gives up some places for them in Maiduguri, which Muslim is willing to live with these Boko Haram guys?

honourhim:
The serpent deceived Eve and Eve deceived Adam. From the reply that Eve gave to the serpent its obvious that she was aware of God's commandment to them.

The topic makes it clear that Adam was not deceived. That is the bases of this discussion.
See 1Tim 2:14 ... And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

kuss:
the commandment not eat the fruit was given to adam not eve in other word adam knew the law while even did not know

Gen 3:2 The woman answered, "God said we could eat fruit from any tree in the garden...

tpiadotcom:
no, that's not necessarily the reason.


Adam was actually weakened by the creation of Eve, since something went out of him which wasnt replaced.

Hum...Sounds interesting. @bolded

OP is already taken o

Someplace where the moon orbits. Do you happen to be around there too? If you can see the moon, then you are close by.
I don't know about OP being taken or not. I just observed that the OP does not have a ring on.

Do I need special google to see it?
