Christianity EtcIs Hell Fire Doctrine A Deterrent To Sinning? by BENARI(op): 8:41am On Mar 30, 2018
Yesterday when the news of the Pope denying the teaching of the hell fire broke, lots of persons here expressed there disappointment in the news although it was later said to be fake news.
Many who where disappointed expressed fear that the alleged denial by the Pope of the existence of hell fire would encourage people to sin.
But the question is, is hell fire really a deterrent to SINNING?

Well some historians and scholars have it that hell fire doctrine has as one of its major goals, deterring people from committing sin for fear of eternal torment. But has this fear really prevented people from SINNING? Far from it.

It would Interest you to note that the hell fire doctrine is a doctrine held by not just Christians, but even Muslims, and many other religions around the World, but rather than this popular doctrine and belief making the world sin free, the world as we all can attest has become a more dangerous place; sin abounds world over. In fact as 2Timothy 3:13 says, "wicked men and impostors have advanced from bad to worse". Suffice to say this wicked men and women are persons belonging to one of the many religions who believe in hell fire reward for evil committed.

Worthy of note and indeed amazingly, Jehovah's witnesses do not believe this doctrine. There reason? You can find out on your own from there members or there publications, but what Interests me is that in spite of not having this fear of eternal torment, they strive to live as much as possible by Bible principles. Off Course they are not perfect, but they closely follow in the footsteps of Christ and his teachings. Many around the world have even said about them that if everybody on earth where Jehovah's witnesses, there would be no need for as many policemen as we have today, that the world would be a more peaceful place to live.

It's also worth noting that many who do not believe in the existence of God let alone any eternal place of torment, have shown themselves to be fair in there dealings with fellow man and even nature. They have recognised the value of Charity rather than taking away from the poor as seen in many religious organizations.
They believe in no God, fear no eternal torment after death, yet they do good.

In conclusion, there are many who believe the hell fire doctrine and yet they they fear God and do what is Good, yes! As there are many who believe in the hell fire doctrine and yet by there way of life, they show a lack of the fear of God in there lives or even the fear of any hell fire.

Therefore, it is clear that, what motivates a person to do what is good and hate what is bad is love for God and not the fear of some eternal punishment in a fiery hell.

PoliticsRe: Lagosians Line Up To Welcome Buhari In Lagos Today (Photos) by BENARI: 12:27am On Mar 30, 2018
The idea of jumping out to the street has not been the norm in southern Nigeria, except off course during campaigns.

This whole crowd gathering to welcome the dullard is all a white wash.
A president popularity should not be measured by such displays. Anybody can rent a crowd.
This whole noise about and display of crowd is indicative of a serious doubt about his popularity.

His true popularity will be measured in the ballot, not on some rented crowd who may not even have voter cards.

They tell bakwomi even when they plan to kill you the next minute.

PhonesRe: With True Caller, Is Our Privacy Really Secure? by BENARI: 8:12am On Mar 27, 2018
henrygale:
Good info.
However, all these apps has a way of being a step ahead of them.
For truecaller, if you don't want anyone to be able to trace your identity using truecaller, just register on true caller with a name that is anonymous.......simple.
I did it and it worked for me.
When I realised that true caller was divulging my identity, I just registered on true caller with a strange name with my number, and that stopped my real name popping up whenever it is searched on true caller or people with true caller apps on their phones calls my line.
Try this and thank me.later.
Depending on what you do for a living, a lot of potential customers this day will have no business dealings with you if true Caller says your name is "X" and it turns out your true name is "Y". I have seen it happen countless times.

I for feel more comfortable when I speak with a stranger whose name matches his true Caller identity, else I'm usually very sceptical.

The technology has its downside though just like most manmade this I know, but it's the new normal(technology), embraces it with its folly or get left behind.

I'm really amazed by how foolish and blind people can be.
Excuse me!!!! Do you really need Freeze to tell you those men are nothing but scammers.

They tell you for example that everything in life is Destiny, you believe them, yet you bolt your door like a maximum security prison before going to sleep for fear of attack at night?
If its been destined that you'll be robbed or not be robbed, why lock the door anyway if your life is ruled by Destiny? It won't change a thing will it?

Yet this men of God preach this and other falsehood to you, you believe them without questions, and yet you say you re not blind?

The man who chooses to use his God given brain questions there teachings and you attack him for daring to use his brain? Even young people?

Satan truly has blinded the minds of people so that truth will not shine through.

PoliticsRe: Reno Omokri Visits Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s Home, Says She Should Be President by BENARI: 4:17pm On Mar 17, 2018
Truth is when the time comes for Igbo Presidency, nothing will stop it. The worst mistake Nigeria can ever make is to deny Igbos the opportunity when the time comes.

At that time the only possible reason and alternative will be that Igbos are not accepted in Nigeria and should therefore go there way.

The question is, will Nigeria choose that option? Your guess is as good as mine.

But then again, the only real reason Nigeria is still one and the Presidency is highly sought after is because of oil.
Unfortunately, it's crumbling soon, and when that happens, Nigerians will begin to look for credible people who can create wealth to lead the country. This looters and power mongers will give away because they are not prepared to govern without free money from oil.

As far am concerned, Igbos should adopt sitdown dey look approach.
We need not fight for the Presidency, after all we live far better than those with the power. Let them have the power and let us have our brains; that they can never take away.

Igbo mma mma nu!!!!!!!

Jehovah's witnesses are the only ones doing that.

I don't see any other organisation(s) ever being able to do so.

The witnesses don't just do it, they enjoy doing it, it seems.

Somebody must work very hard to convince me, they do not practice the only true religion, because for all I see, they are the only ones practising the teaching of Christ.
