David Hundeyin and Seun Kuti saying the same thing.

If this is truly from Hundeyin, then he is a bloody communist masquerading as a social activist and the likes of him should never get to power to avert the hell his likes would bring into reality...bitter enemy of wealth.

why body dey sweet me like this?

alBHAGDADI:

Hello,

There's this wrong believe among Christians that the Bible supports drinking alcohol but only in moderation. They say we can drink alcohol but we shouldn't get drunk. Well, I will be using Bible verses to show that Christians are not to look at alcohol not to talk of drinking it. Also, this thread will debunk common lies told to support drinking alcohol e.g Jesus turning water to wine.

The word wine is mentioned 231 times in the Bible. But the mistake we make today is that we think the wine mentioned is just alcholic wine. Half the time wine is mentioned in the Bible, it is about fruit juice.

In the Greek and Hebrew languages in which the Bible was written in, the word translated as wine was used to refer to alcohol and also fruit juice. So when those who translated the Bible into English did so, they had to look for an English word which could mean alcoholic beverage and fruit juice. That word is wine. You might wonder why the translators didn't make things easy for us by just writing fruit juice when the verse is talking of fruit juice and write alcoholic beverage when it's about alcohol. The thing is, doing such would mean they are injecting their own idea into the Bible.

Now, in modern times, we have this believe that wine means an alcoholic drinks. That's why we think the word wine in the Bible is always referring to alcohol. Let's me show you that wine in the Bible doesn't always mean alcoholic beverage but fruit juice.



As seen above, wine is found in the cluster i.e wine still in the cluster of grapes. This is purely fruit juice and not alcoholic.

However, grapes usually have a white powdery film around it called yeast. It is that yeast that is made use of to make alcoholic wine. They crush the grapes and in the process the yeast mixed with the fruit juice that was inside grape cluster. Next fermentation takes place then the result if alcoholic wine. Most times, wine makers add more yeast to attain the desired alcohol level. So you see, wine moved from normal fruit juice before it became alcoholic wine after yeast was added.

Now, there are two types of wine as explained above: The alcoholic and fruit juice. There's a certain type of wine the Bible said we shouldn't even look at, not to talk of touching our lips with it. Read the passage below.



The verse above is talking about alcoholic wine. It even describes fermentation process. It says we shouldn't even look at that type of wine. Yet some folks say we can drink it in moderation.



It describes the feeling one gets after drinking alcohol. It's a horrible feeling.



Have you ever had alcohol such that after taking it, women whom you would never touch with a ten foot poll suddenly start looking attractive to you? The above verse describes it as the effect of alcohol. It also describes how you start saying all sorts of junks which you would not normal say.



Remember when you lie down after taking alcohol and the whole bed seems like you are swimming, and also you feel like you are floating and your eyes being dizzy. That's the feeling described.



After the whole horrible night and you wake up to hangover, what's the cure drunkards usual prescribe? They say to cure hangover, start drinking again. That's what the above passage described.

Yet, some people say we can drink alcohol in moderation and that it only becomes a sin when we get drunk. Sorry buddy, the Bible says don't even look at it.

The Bible doesn't say we should drink alcohol in moderation. It says we should be sober at all times (1 Thessalonians 5:6 Titus 2:3).

Now let's see the common verses people love to twist to try to say we can drink alcohol

The first is found in the passage where Jesus turned water into wine. They fail to realize that it was fruit juice kind of wine, not the alcoholic or fermented one. Let's examine the passage carefully.



According to some people, it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into and gave the people at the wedding to drink. However, a closer look shows that not to be the case.

Pay close attention to verse 10 where the Bible says when men have well drunk. Let's see how the New International Version (NIV) renders that verse.



If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into, then it basically means he wanted to destroy the guests at the wedding. After they have had too much to drink, Jesus decided to give them more. That means if there were cars back then, many would have accidentally on their way home. Remember the passage in Proverbs 23 which talks about the horrible effects alcohol. If we say these people were already drunk on alcohol, then Jesus just helped them double those effect in their life by giving them more. This means they would start to behold strange women and say perverse things. Now, tell me, who would want to listen to Jesus preach the next morning after the "alcoholic wine" he gave them to drink made some of the men to sleep with their housemaid to the anger of their wives? Made them to saw perverse things to their boss? Made them to sleep in the gutter? Yet you say Jesus gave people alcohol to drink.

Jesus didn't give anybody alcohol to drink. Doing so would mean he's a liar. Remember what he said in the passage below.



If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into at the wedding in Cana, then he abolished the law and the prophet which spoke against alcoholic wine in Proverbs 23:31. So clearly it wasn't alcoholic wine he turned water into but fruit juice.

Another passage people love to use for an excuse to drink alcohol is seen below.

Mathew 11:18-19
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

The above passage talks about a false accusations against Jesus who pointed out how they also falsely accused John the Baptist. Yet, some people will say because Jesus was accused of being a drunkard then it means he use to drink alcohol. Was John the Baptist possessed with a devil? No, but he was accused of such. I now wonder why you believe Jesus drank alcohol due to some false accusations. Remember, the accusation is that he was a drunkard. So if you use this verse to justify drinking alcohol, then don't get angry when some tells you that Jesus use to fall into gutter after getting drunk; he use to behold strange women and say perverse things. Can you see how wrong they are with their interpretation of the passage?

Another verse they use is seen below.




They pick the verse out context and say God is telling us that we can buy alcohol and drink it. If you read the previous verses, you will see that the context is about tithing. Those items listed alongside strong drink are to be brought to the temple for sacrifice to God. Some are eating, but it excludes the strong drink because nowhere in the above passage does it say drink the strong drink, same way it doesn't say drink the oil. Now, see what the strong drink is used for.



The strong drink or wine is poured out onto the Lord for a drink offering. It is not to be drank at all. But people have twisted the verse in Deutoronomy 14:26 to mean God is saying we can drink alcohol even when he said in Proverbs 23 that we shouldn't even look at it.

Guys, drinking alcohol is a sin and every Christian should abstain from it. Don't let anybody fool you into think moderation is the key. A little sip sends your good sense of judgment out the window. That's when another glass or bottle won't seem like a bad idea. And note, wine has tripple alcohol content that four bottles of beer. So don't think drinking a glass of wine is sophisticated. You are emore alcoholic than the beer drinker.

My brother I must say I am disappointed in what you just did here. You went through a whole lot trying to link different parts of the bible in a futile attempt to hide that which can't be hidden and giving your very own interpretation.

As a Christian who should stand for truth, why not show and tell the people the truth no matter how much it contradicts your personal opinion?

Well I could easily break down every single point and bible verse you wrote up there but I won't do that, I'll only give you a bible verse, it is a letter of st Paul to the Corinthians.

Please read 1 Corinthians 11:20-21

You find st Paul advising the rich among the early church that they should share their bread and wine with the poor among them during communion instead eating and drinking until they get drunk and the poor among them go without. (back then everyone brings their own bread and wine to church for communion).

Let's always stand for the truth of the bible no matter how highly placed the person who contradicts that truth is.

Lost over 5k USD in Forex this year. Initially, it was greed but later I fully realised that since you have no control over the market, this minute it could be in your favour and the next minute it could be against you. I lost my entire capital on three occasions just because of a news that triggered the market in d wrong direction by over 100pips.

I know most of these gurus will attribute it to lack of money management techniques but I challenge anyone to show me how his money management technique has helped him make consistent profit.

Truth is Forex was designed to make ppl lose, and therefore not for the faint hearted. Past achievements do not even guarantee future profits- I opened a pamm account under FXTM, and there was this guy who had made consistent profit for a few months prior to my registration. But a over a month after he lost 50% of his capital, incluing mine and I closed it. After two months of studying other successful PAMM accounts, I signed up again under another so called successful trader and again we lost.

Right now is not the best time to trade forex because the markets esp EUR/USD are inconsistent. If you check monthly charts, you will realise this. There was a time when all you need to do was to enter the market short and you're guaranteed profit. If it goes long, it's usually temporary and it retraces after some time.

Am definitely going to do forex again in 2019. Only this time, I will be smarter and invest only what I can lose after am sure the market movement is guaranteed.

All other crypto trading follow similar patterns.

Bro it took me a long time and a lot of pain before I realized this, successful trading has more to do with your own mind than anything else. I beg you in the name of God, don't trade again until you are able to truly understand the mind aspect of trading if not the market would always seem confusing to you. Where do you stay?

Wek

This is good because it would make the people realize they have the power to influence and change those in authority. If we can attack so viciously so called men of God in as such a religious country then the day of reckoning is upon the political class.

E be like say these Fulani mofos don çhàñge am for this maga and now he is singing a new song. Not all change is good indeed, you gotta love these politicians.

As always Senator Shehu Sani always makes sense. Tactically telling Buhari not to contest and not to allow sycophants to talk him into contesting again. I can't wait for this Senator to unseat that devil's dwarf in ladies.

Old man shut up and sit down!! You breed a fool and he would be arrested and nothing will happen.

We are currently at a cross road and everywhere seems bleak. Now it remains to see if the old political structure of the south east can assert their authority though money is no longer as powerful a force due to the emergence of the social media which the ipob is utilizing. After that there is still the battle with the northern political structure which currently controls the centre and are currently enjoying the current order and would never give up this current order unless it becomes more painful not to do so.

Now the leaders are speaking!! It was a grave mistake allowing someone of the temperament and low level of understanding like Kanu to head such agitations and I always knew he would take out the wind of his sail by himself and true to his character he has done exactly that. My only pain is that he didn't do it sooner and now the northern youths are ready to unleash mayham. I just pray they hear these words from these true and enlightened leaders of the igbos and sheathe their swords.

If that's the solution, let's forget pride and sell the assets

Money never disappears, it only moves from a great many to the very few. That's the basic meaning of a recession, so expect more of such luxurious buying from the very few.

If 1/3 = one third and 1/4 = one fourth then it is safe to say 1/2 = one half since in this case one is being halved. or simply half.

I'm already rocking it. Enjoying it too

Iseluku, Delta state Camp. Remember when I was there! Madt fun

God bless you.

Nigerians should stop comparing us and the advanced world

Thanks man. It just pains me to see people talk about all these American University drop outs without knowing the fact that they were already ahead of their lecturers. Some even go as far as saying Dangote didn't go to a university!! (he went to university of Cairo before the loan and all the other exploits we know about)

WarRLaY:
the government are not to be blamed , bit the citizen them selves, because we lack sense of thinking (thinking out of the box), people like bill gates, Steve jobs didn't goto college but yet came out successful, why? because they are not afraid of the unknown, they are people who believe they have limited time to live on earth and thought about doing something different

Stop diving into deep waters! Bill Gates had a computer at a time when computers where as expensive as an aeroplane, and he was in high school! Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates where allowed into the lab of IBM( it was a government programme that forced IBM to open up their labs to many smart kids in high school ), then it was the most advanced computer company. They both dropped out of college at different times because they were ahead of their lecturers in the field of computers.

Just wonderful! Just make sure price is reasonable
