I swear I agree with you that as politicians, all of them will do similar things if it gets them votes so I am sorry if it appears as if I picked on him. I am quite happy he has realized the need to build bridges and reach out to everyone. I am just tired of people making it look as if he is doing something extraordinary or exemplary or that leaders in government do not care on the same level. Anyways kudos to him, but i can assure you he would soon get called out by certain sections of the country if he cannot sustain the same momentum of commiserations with every major disaster djon78: |
May I ask which of the Covenants you are referring to please, because you people are under the false impression of an everlasting covenant but your Bible says different: “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to[a] them,[b]” declares the Lord. (Jer 31:31-32) So, can I ask you where is this new covenant promised in the verse above because the OLD covenant being nullified are covered in the first five books of the Old Testament. and the books of the Prophet including even this Jeremiah. When you people want to be mischievous you are happy referring to the Old Testament to prove certain point, but when other absurdities in the same OLD testament are pointed out , you are quick to say you are no longer under the law and that is why you have the NEW testament. Your Pastors are happy to keep the Laws of tithing but dispense with the others which are not favourable to them. Hosea 13:16 (New Living Translation) - The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God . They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords." That is the vengeful God of your Bible, who ordered the killing of innocent children and the ripping open of pregnant women......sounds familair? ISRAEL is GOD ALMIGHTY Signet on the Earth. Just like Balaam who was Hired by Balak to Curse ISRAEL . His Donkey Had to talk to Him to make him understand that the assignment he was Hired for was a very Dangerous one. The Covenant is not a Joke. The Covenant is a strong covenant. The Covenant is a life Covenant . [b][/b] [/i][/quote] |
These kinds of statements is exposing the inferiority complex and grave ignorance amongst the so called Christians who feel the need to support Israel blindly based on some concocted "words of God" promising other people's land to the Israelis as if those original land owners were created by another inferior God. The funny thing is that in present day Israel , more than half of the population do not believe in God, yet they believe HE promised them other people's land. Present day Israel is not only waging wars on the Palestinians but so very hostile to Christianity, but ignoramuses here are fully supporting ANYTHING Israel does because of an "everlasting" covenant, Mind you, your Messiah has debunked the notion of an everlasting covenant when he said the kingdom of God will be taken away from them Jews, Check the links below https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/13/christians-are-in-danger-under-israeli-government-says-holy-land-patriarch#:~:text=The%20Vatican%2Dappointed%20Latin%20Patriarch,property%20at%20a%20quickening%20pace. https://twitter.com/Farah_Gazan/status/1010203587920703489 Antiislaam: |
It has been said many times over and over that religious leanings has evacuated the little grey matter inside some people's brains so much they are devoid of rational thinking again. Millions of people all over the world have made speeches and organised marches criticising Israel and some have even done so in much harsher words than that Turkish MP and yet the racist "God of Israel" did not strike them with thunder and fire. It makes one wonder where the so called "God of Israel" was when 6 millions of his chosen ones were being massacred in gas chambers by the Christian nation of Germany, Let me remind you that your Lord and Saviour himself mentioned that the "favour" conferred on Israel by the racist God will be taken away and given to other nations, “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Matt 21:43 you will be stupid or ignorant if you think anyone nation or kingdom will forever hold the rein of power on this earth, it means you have not learnt anything from history |
Sorry bro I cant help you if you are unable to see this for the grandstanding that it is. He even wore Hausa outfit which is not his regular outfit. Bro, there are so many disasters and misfortunes in the country at the moment and he chose the one that pitches him as loving and empathising with the people of the North whose vote he has now just realised he cant do without. djon78: |
This occultic man just want to stay relevant! Now they have told him that Nzogbu Nzogbu alone does not win elections and he realizes the important of building bridges rather than pushing religious divisionary tactics. Daddy's boy . See the rate he was frequenting all those churches when election was approaching, now he is nowhere to be found until the next election comes around again. Anyways he can only continue to deceive his sheepish followers with his pretense, no sensible person is fooled by his antics of acting like he really cares.....

To be honest, preaching on the street in some cases is not forbidden and is actually less of a nuisance than those who do it on the trains and buses especially in early morning rush hours which are completely prohibited. The funny thing is that they always talk so confidently whilst attacking every and other religion and ideologies and it appears they cant actually prove their cases without this approach. They also are not ready to entertain questions and just want you to take their preaching hook,line and sinker. To be candid also, there are some Caucasians and Indians involved in this also so it is not only the Africans that do it okunwaye: |

I will assume you are devoid of understanding or you are playing dumb, I have just proven to you how the worst terrorists atrocities in HISTORY OF MANKIND have been carried out by CHRISTIANS and you are talking about Boko Haram. What is Boko Haram when a single TERRORIST state of Christian Germany alone murdered 6 million Jews. Can you put a number to the number of native Indians terrorised and murdered by your Christian Pilgrim fathers so they could steal their lands to form the Chief Terrorist of the world called the USA? I have just shown you how the book of your hateful, vengeful and racist "God" is filled with violence, murder and terror against non-Jews and you still have gut to be talking about ISIS? Shame on you! Go and read history well and learn about the Spanish Inquisitions and what amount of terrors was unleashed on the Jews and Muslims by the Catholic Church. Perhaps you need to be reminded of the atrocities of the Christianity flag bearers called the Crusaders in Palestine in the 11th century. Go and read about the TERRORS of the Nakba carried out by the Israelis when they forcefully ejected almost 700,000 Palestinians from their home, and tell us who is a Terrorist? Go and find out who are the Hagannah Terrorist and come and tell me if they were muslims, what about the Polisario Liberation Front, The Lord Resistance Army in Uganda, what about Charles Taylor's NPFL or the break away group of Yormie Johnson, were they terrorists or freedom fighter and were they Muslims, what about all the drug cartels and their terror groups of South America, are they all Muslims? Go and read about the Khalistan Groups of Sikh militants in India and thier labelling as terrorists, were they Muslims, how about Tamil Tiger that assassinated Rajiv Ghandi and the first recorded case of suicide bombing in modern history. Have you heard of a group called uMkhonto we Sizwe ? that was the militant arm of Mandela's ANC and they were also labelled terrorist back in the days. What of the Hutu Militia called Interhamwe and their role in the Rwandan genocide, were they terrorists and were they Muslims? And to add to it are your IPOB Brothers recently designated among the 20 DEADLIEST terror group in the world and yet they are definitely not Muslims It would appear that you simply have a shallow idea of what is called terrorism neither do you even know any bit of history. It helps you when you come to public domain to comment to do a bit of research before making a very useless statement that ALL terrorists are Muslims. Even most of the victims of Boko Haram and ISIS have been Muslims, do you think any sensible Muslim support these groups? And to conclude I refer you back to your inspired book called the Bible and the massive volume of racism, violence and terrorism sanctioned by your 'God', explain that to us before you start labelling others terrorists Klington: |
You must be referring to Christianity because 1. the people who massacred 6 million Jews were Christians 2. those who forcefully took over the lands of the Native Indians in the American continent massacring many of them and putting the rest into forced detention in RESERVATION CAMPS ( not unlike what is being done to the Palestinians) were Christians 3. the worst atrocities of any colonial era in Congo was perpetrated by the Belgians under King Leopold and they were Christians, and what about the French in Tunisia, they were also Christians 4. what about the terrors and death due to the apartheid of the mainly White Dutch and Christian oppressors in South Africa, that also stands there with the atrocities of a people who were Christians and surely we can label that Christian terrorism. 5. Not to talk about the multitude of terrorism instigated by the 'God' of the Bible against "unclean Gentiles" which the Christians claim were inspired? " At the seventh time Joshua said, Shout — To testify your faith in God’s promise, and thankfulness for this glorious mercy; to encourage yourselves and brethren, and to strike a terror into your enemies. The Lord hath given you the city — It is given to you to be devoted to God, as the first (and perhaps the worst) of all the cities of Canaan" (Joshua 6:16) "But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me. " (Luke 19:27) “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household” (Matthew 10:34-36). You see why I thought you must be referring to Christianity as the religion that glorifies terrorism Klington: |
You are not different from the guy that was complaining about the excessive attention given to the German Chancellor because he thinks he is an ordinary University Chancellor ,apparently you people don't know but you think you do. Tinubu does not approve budgets, thats for The Federal Lawmakers including some of Tinubu's own proposed budget;I refuse to believe that Obi does not know how this works, I think he is just playing to the gallery as usual. NO President can tamper with what the Lawmakers have budgeted for themselves, he can only negotiate through the Leadership ni if necessary jmoore: |
Oga Trump, agreed the Israelites were "favoured" in the Bible and perhaps the Quran also, but that was over 4000 years ago and in that period they have also fallen out of favour and have lost the lands many times in the intervening period and even Jesus was supposed to have confirmed that they have lost the glory when he said " Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be give to another nation bringing forth its fruit" (Matt 21:43). From the Babylonian, to the Assyrians, the Byzantine, the Muslims, the Ottomans and the British, the land called Palestine has been under various authorities for the past 1000 years plus whereby the few remaining Jews had no authority. The same God that promised them these lands was the one who used the Assyrians and others to dislodge them due to thier perpetual disobedience, so how can you now continue to hold on to a "promise" of almost 5000 years made to Abraham and mind you like I said in another thread even when the land was promised to Abraham, there were already the Canaanites well established on the land It is a kind of arrogance for them to think they have the perpetual ownership of the land due to some "biblical" promise in this modern day, quoting a so called promise from a book which is not a standard book of laws for all living on earth, So what happens if HIndus say Lord Ganesh has promised them the lands in the an area of Pakistan and they want to claim it now. Forceful acquisition of land under any pretext does not work again in the modern world and that is the same point being raised by the hypocritical western world when Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia also claims that certain parts of Ukraine historically used to belong to Russia and in fact they still have ethnic Russians in those places. So how is it wrong for Russia but it is okay for Israel For your information a dispute between the Israelis and Palestinians on the ownership of the Masjid Aqsa and the Wailing Wall was resolved in favour of the Palestinians by an International Court in 1930 sitting in the final session in Paris on 28th. November to December 1, 1930. This culminated in the issuance of the Western Wall Decree of 1931 by the British which Israel now claimed to have unilaterally annulled. TrumpBiden: |
Many thanks for this but the history you have quoted is incorrect and I will correct it for you. First let me try to get you out of your mindset of the Jews used to live on a land 4 millenia ago and so in these modern times also they have the eternal the right to it, no sir, it does not work that way. Let me take you back to much older history, Abraham himself the father of both the Arabs and Jews was actually born and grew up in Ur which is now in modern day Iraq before moving to the land of Canaan in modern day Israel which already had the Canaanites living there. So you see Abraham did not go to a virgin land with no one living there before, so if we were to start our comparison from the time of Abraham then the land originally belonged to the Canaanites who were NOT Jews. At this point until Isaac and Ishmael were born to Abraham, there was nothing like the concept of Israelite because this stared later with the lineage of Isaac through his son Jacob. In between, Abraham and his family were forced to move to Egypt because of drought at a point and returned to Canaan where first Ishmael and then Isaac were born to Abraham. You see at this point it is the Bible which was written by Jews that was talking about God's promise to give Abraham the land already belonging to other people, so therefore the ownership of the land you are claiming for the Israelis is Biblical and not Historical. Go and try that nowadays that your imaginary God has promised you the land somewhere that already had others on it and see where that gets you. The Canaanites according to history were accommodating and so the Israelis flourished inn the land of Canaan which belonged to the CANAANITES who were neither Jews nor Arabs, until after the time of Joseph when the Egyptians invaded and shipped them off to slavery in Egypt. We all know the story of their sojourn in Egypt and how Moses was able to liberate them, in the interregnum however, there have been other people living on the land including the original dwellers the Canaanites, so that when they eventually got their freedom from Egypt, the 'God' of the Bible once again promised them the lands which already have people flourishing on it “When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy" ( Deut 7:1-2). You see all this even predates the time of Saul you are quoting. So you can see that other than the 'God' of the BIble treating the Israelites with favoritism (according to the Bible) at the expense of every other tribes as if those other people were created by another 'God', all the present land in the area called Palestine today have belonged to others even before the concept of Jews or Israelis came about. The Jews have not been in control of that piece of land for more than a millenium as it has changed hands over the millenia and yet they woke up one day and said they have the right to go to that land. Every tribe and races of people settled anywhere in this world at present have an history of migration and cross-migration from somewhere thousands of years ago and nobody is going back anywhere to go and claim a land in the name of " my forefathers used to live here ages ago" becasue it does not work that way. Oduduwa the progenitor of the Yoruba was recorde as having migrated to the present day Ile-ife from MEcca having been expelled for idolatry, is that an evidence for the Yorubas to go back to present day Mecca in Saudi Arabia to go and claim some land just becasue thier ancestor used to live there. Shebi the Ibos have also traced their origin to Israel and part of Egypt why dont they go to those places to claim lands on the 'historical' evidence that their ancestors once lived in those places First ever King of Israel is a Jew, Saul by name. 1 Samuel 13:1 He ruled from C 1020. Quranic history, Quran sura 5:21-22 Admit Allah gave the land to the Jews and appointed Moses to be the leader of the people. That's not different from the biblical account of over 4,000 years ago, then in 600 AD, the Quran also admitted to that fact! All the Biblical prophets from Israel are all Jews, from Moses, David, Jacob to Solomon, Jesus and etc. Over 4,000 years ago, Israel has always fought with its neighbor's and have always been victorious, again, they will win!!![/quote] |
Evangelist Akukoigbo please note that I have previously said that no mentally balanced person would believe that a God who supposedly created the whole world and all the other races would speak like the 'God' in your Bible, so therefore this is not an indictment of these Prophets like Moses, David etc because all the atrocities attributed to them in your Bible were NOT inspired by God, but written by a racist people who saw themselves as getting God's approval for their age old terrorism. That is why even a portion of your book says that the law itself has been corrupted by the false pens of the scribes “How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us'? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie." Jeremiah 8:8 Therefore no one is impugning on the Prophets but what your Bible is saying about them CANNOT be true. For instance how can David commit murder just because he wanted someones wife and he still remain a beloved of God, does that make sense to you? Lot was a Prophet of God and yet your Bible said he was seduced by his daughters and had children by their father? And what was their punishment if I may ask, rather their incestuous offsprings went on to become the forefathers of the Moabites and Ammonites. Dont forget that even Sarah was Abraham's half sister according to your Bible. So please do not blame the righteous Prophets of God blame the flase pens of the scribes who penned what you call today the " The Words of God" OkukoIgbo: |
Thanks you once again Evangelist Akukoigbo for accepting that your God is an unjust, vindictive, bloodthirsty and racist according to your Bible. All the other questions you have asked are as stupid as asking 1. Why did your 'God' allow his opnley BELOVED son to be hung on a cross like an accursed person because your God said In Deuteronomy 21:22-23 it is stated that a hanged man is "accursed of God." 2. Why did your God allow his prophet John the Baptist to be beheaded? 3. THe impostor Paul whom you actually follow ( not definitely following Jesus) may i ask what was his ending, why was he beheaded, perhaps because he was an impostor? "But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.' (Deut 2 18:20) 4. Why did your 'God' allow 6 million of his 'beloved' to be brutally massacred by another nation of his people who said they were Christians Like I said to one of your posts earlier, one can be forgiven for thinking you were talking of Tinubu, because in your world ( like I am damn sure you are on Obidient) everyone you hate is always a druggie, demented, deluded , mentally unbalanced so there is always no point replying to your stupid innuendos. The typical tactics of you lot when you have no substance to argue is to resort to insults and trying to impugn peoples characters so I will let that slide since I am happy you have accepted the deficiencies in your BIble OkukoIgbo: |
Once again I take your response as an acceptance of everything I have quoted from your Bible about your 'God' being racist, vindictive, unjust and bloodthirsty. That is enough for me, thanks for the response. Whatever you think of or call Prophet Muhammad is your opinion and unfortunately there is nothing you can do other than moan about it, unless you have the means to wipe out 1.5 billion muslims from the face of the earth. I am not going to engage you on that, even the Jews till present time believe that Mary was raped by a Roman centurion and was too ashamed to own up and that was why she was claiming virgin birth, so you see, insinuations and innuendos didn't start today. A lot of rubbish you are quoting here are well known from books written by Orientalists, but has that ever stopped the wave of massive conversion to the religion of Islam, NO https://www.politico.eu/article/former-dutch-anti-muslim-politician-converts-to-islam-joram-van-klaveren/#:~:text=A%20former%20member%20of%20Geert,%2C%E2%80%9D%20he%20told%20Dutch%20radio. OkukoIgbo: |
I am loathe to use insults in my response, but I have always said I make exception when necessary. Are any of the fake items you posted here your rebuttal to the facts that I have provided you from your Bible that your God is a racist and violent God? If anyone is suffering insanity it is you because you are hot even coherent in your response. My understanding of your rantings is that you have accepted that your 'God' is racist and violent giving other people's land to his 'beloved' and asking them to kill without impunity when taking over the land as if those people were created by a different 'God' . See below for more from your vengeful , hateful and violent God, no wonder the IDF already following the steps of the Crusaders have inspiration for their wanton destructive acts The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords." (Hosea 12:16) 3 and say to her: 'This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its scabbard and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. 4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north. 5 Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its scabbard; it will not return again.' (Ezekiel 21) And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the LovePeddler, she profaneth her father:[b] she shall be burnt with fire. (Leviticus 12:2)[/b] "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me" Exodus 20:5 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household” (Matthew 10:34-36). Before you condemn one religion can you explain why the 'God' in your Bible is such a vindictive, aggressive, violent, unjust and bloodthirsty being who even found it difficult to forgive a simple sin of disobedience until he allowed his "only son" to be hanged like a common criminal so that his blood will cleanse the sins of another? I dare you tonight to gather your family especially your young one before going to bed tonight and do Bible study together reading the following from the 'inspired words' of your God: in Solomon8: 8-10 8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for? 9 If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. 10 I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who finds[d] peace. And finally to answer one of your questions, NOBODY in their fright frame of mind would believe that all these violent and malicious words were dictated or inspired by the same God we all know as just, kind merciful. Where is the justice in punishing innocent children for the offence of their fathers even up to the third generation ? IS that the God you worship? So, yes all these Prophets existed and lived by the dictates of the One True God and all you read about them in your Bible are the fabricated words of a racist people who think only they are the beloved in the eyes of God OkukoIgbo: |
One can almost forget to think you were describing Tinubu with all the insults you have piled up here . and your "happiness" at the massacre going on can only reveal the true level of darkness in your heart, because even your Lord and Saviour commanded you to ' turn the other cheek' when offended and pray for your enemies as he supposedly did for those who crucified him. However, I only have one response for you keyboard warriors who hide in the comfort of your homes to spew rubbish about war and that is that Yoruba said "adiye ba lokun, ara o rokun , ara o ro adiye" The hen has perched on a piece of string, neither the bird nor the string will remain comfortable" Someone here on Nairaland said he gave Israel just one week to wipe out Gaza, we are still waiting.And by the way real land-grabbing terrorism was ordained for the Israelis and was the theme of your Old Testament Bible by the racist "God" of Israel who appears to have forgotten that he created the other tribes also or perhaps he did not: see your Bible below: “ When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (Deut 6:10 -12) “When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy" ( Deut 7:1-2) “ Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves” (Numbers 31:17-18). Even your Lord and Saviour said in James 19:26 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. We can confidently say the antecedents of terrorising and land-grabbing is a favoured decree of the "God" of the Bible, so therefore study your own religion properly before you star condemning others. If you want I will give you more references to pornography, incests, and terrorism in your book. I always said I do not want to debate religion with anyone especially on this matter of Palestine, because God-loving and true followers of Judaism all over the world have consistently even before now dissociated themselves from the atrocities of Nationalistic Zionist regime ruling Israel OkukoIgbo: |

By your analysis, since the original Native Indian owners of America and Canada have been paid off ( with free education and tax exemptions), they have NO RIGHT to come back in another fifty years that they want their land back, is that so? And point of correction Native Indian Authorities are the ones exempted from paying STATE TAXES, they still pay Federal Taxes and income taxes if they work outside their native authorities. I sincerely want to learn from you, please take me through the history of that land called Palestine, how and when did it become the property of the Israelite, please no insult, just give me a lesson in history so I can be convinced as you are that the land in its totality belongs to the Israelite and when exactly did the present occupiers encroached on the land and 'stole' it from the Israelite Akpan107: |
We knew it that Nigeria would go back to being the 'Zoo' once Obi lost the election. For your information any improvement in the current situation is a good news for right minded people. IF you are expecting dollar to go back to N220, you can always time-travel back to those days and stay there because the present government is not going to continue to subsidise dollar for the exotic tastes of Nigerians. In six months alone over $340 million in Forex was required to pay school fees abroad alone, and I bet that is the amount that went through official means.

Our politicians may be corrupt ( same can be said for others who are not politicians though) but I do not think they are inhumane to the extent of watching things deteriorate without any plans for intervention. Those who have held leadership position at any level would understand how sometimes the good things you want to do are hampered by other factors beyond your control most of which are unknown to the average followership. A Yoruba proverb translates as " the fowl is actually sweating but its wings are obscuring this from our sight" Anyone with the sincere love of Nigeria should just pray that our leaders get it right and not be praying for hardship just because your candidates lost, there is no perfect system anywhere in the world. Let us not forget also that leadership of the country does not start and end with the presidency, what about our governors and elected representatives. As far as I am aware the recall procedure for house of rep and senate members has only been activated once in Nigeria for DIno Melaye and even then people failed to turn out to vote for or against. How will it be if those pompous reps know that we have the power to recall them anytime and we are ready to use it if they fail to meet our expectations. |

I understand you correctly and your mindset is much clearer now, and although I was not arguing religion with you but it clearer now but I can tell that your inspiration to say what you have said is from your Bible. “ When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (Deut 6:10 -12) “When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy" ( Deut 7:1-2) “ Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves” (Numbers 31:17-18). 28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho. 29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. 31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining. 34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it: 35 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish. 36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it: 37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein. 38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it: 39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king. 40 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. 41 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. 42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel. 43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. (Joshua 8:28-43) So as you can see from your Bible that it has always been a God-sanctioned massacre and complete annihilation of others so that the Israelites could have their lands. Itis like as if those other tribes and people were created by another God different from the "God" of Israel. , So I wont be surprised this is the same song you are singing nowadays " take their land and kill them all, we are the chose ones of God" , oh sorry you are not even a chosen one as you are not a Jew and unfortunately you cannot convert to Judaism.......

You have been in "Arab" , which place exactly is this called Arab? And you said Christianity has no problems with Jews, so you are happy they denounce your lord and saviour as an impostor? Calling him an offspring of rape by a centurion soldier? What exactly do you think the Jews think of Christianity if I may ask? Why do Christians still think Jews are a special breed even after Jesus supposedly said in Matthews 21:43 that the kingdom of God is to be taken away from the Jews and given to another nation. I know the misplaced hatred for the Palestinians is part of the overall hatred for Muslims but in this case people use to forget that Israelis do not discriminate between a Muslim Palestinian and a Christian Palestinian and churches have been bombed during this current crisis without any apologies. In May 2022, whilst covering a news event of the raid by the IDF on a refugee camp in , Palestinian Christian Journalist was shot dead by the IDF despite wearing all the distinctive insignia of the press and as usual IDF were trying to blame someone else. As a fellow Christian to you I bet her life also meant nothing since she was a Palestinian abi? https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/11/middleeast/idf-apology-shireen-abu-akleh-intl/index.html Free2Fly: |

. See the rate he was frequenting all those churches when election was approaching, now he is nowhere to be found until the next election comes around again. Anyways he can only continue to deceive his sheepish followers with his pretense, no sensible person is fooled by his antics of acting like he really cares.....
