MrBrownJay1:"They were not viewed as sinners by God' how the hell do you know that. You must be a hell of a casanova to make such a strong claim.Who told you King David wasn't punished for his trangressions.I guess you think being considered by God as dear places you on a pedestal.Every sin you commit has consequences.Indirectly or directly. Do you want your offsprings to bear the brunt of your sins. Ofcourse nobody wants that. Stop deceiving yourself bros, and stop making up excuses for your transgressions.What do you think "sexual immorality" mean ?The bible says explicitly flee from sexual immorality.Dont even look on and think you are strong enough to withstand it.No No No,if you see,fly self. |

I am here to clear the air, i dont expect you to agree with my assertions though.I hail the ignorance of Nigerians.Someone said earlier on that, practices by members of celestial church are syncretic-a combination of traditional and christian doctrines. A lot of things have gone awry over the years,and thats because members of the church have departed from unique mode of worship in the church as directed by the holy spirit.Most of us youths of the church are beginning to realize that some peculiar practices during services have been changed subtly over the years.It is difficult realizing the changes,until you are told.I found that out myself by listening to people who listened to or consulted with the SBJ oschoffa,while he was alive. First of all note the basis of the establishment of the church was worship.I could sing over half of the hymns as at the age 13, but you know what i never realized the weight until i began reading. Warnings of what would happen(as ongoing) if we failed to heed to tenets(ilana in yoruba) are stated. Now this hymns were not composed by 1 learned or musically gifted persons.Most of them were sung by strange people(mad people,e.t.c).The founder himself was not educated.I am telling you categorically that, some of the changes made to our modes of worship after the demise Oscoffa, were by the so called elites in the church,all in the name of modernization.I have realized that members of other denominations criticizing the place of the church in christiandom do not understand the bible deeply. Or perhaps, we believe other interpretations of the bible are inferior to ours. First of all on the issue of syncretism, what is the the distinction between idol worshiping and traditions?Now some one would say they are the same, but they are not, while idol worshiping can be part of tradition, the reverse is not true.You can have traditions that do not directly involve you in the act of worship. the jews in the bible had their traditions, which they tried to impose on everyone, they assumed that a violation of these traditions is a sin.But jesus cautioned them in mark 7, why do you trangress the commandment of God by your traditions.So if my practise does not transgress the commandment of God, it cannot be denoted as idolatry, no matter how old that practise is. I will state categorically the bible does not speak against any of our practices.If anyone does anything that violates the commandments of God, find out the origin of that practice.It is not part of the tenets laid down. Though i am concerned myself that members are overly attached to materials-candles e.t.c during prayers, nonetheless it violates nothing. The establishment of celestial church was a covenant,just as the establishment of the people of Isreal was. Every covenant has dictates peculiar to it,thats why it is called a covenant.The coming of Jesus did not nullify the law in any way. Read romans 7 to better understand the clause 'we are no longer under the law' You are freed from the law does not mean you cannot abide by the law if you chose to.colossians 2 16: says Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.The key word is let no man.However god can judge you if he so desires.Under the the dispensation of celestial church, we were given certain ordinances.As far as you are under this covenant you are bound by this ordinances,modes of worship,services. if you want to be free, thats your choice.You are not obliged to listen only to your pastors.This book of the lord shall not depart from your mouth,meditate on it day and night.I repeat woe betides anyone who does contrary to the dictates of the word of truth knowingly.But the presence of false worshippers is just what the bible tells US.Matthew 13 vs 30 says let both the plant and the tares grow together, until the day of harvest.I used knowingly because, there so many things that members of the church are not doing right, however they are ignorant of this fact. It is the duty of the elders to socialize the youths though.Again i am not forcing you to read this long boring writing.Nonetheless, study to show thyself approved. I rest my case. |

corpersforum:So what is the purpose of your post,how does this contribute to progress or involve us in educative discussions.Talk about issues that matter or engage yourself in profitable ventures.I am surprised someone will even conceive, write and post such a discourse. |
Amberon:Bros , the factlessness of your post attests to your subjectivity-a chronic disease that has relegated us to our status quo, regarding the issue.How can you say islam is synonymous with poverty.How many countries in the world are predominantly moslem? not exceeding 50, but there are 195 countries in total.Most of the predominantly christian countries are poor too, including Nigeria.It is baseless to judge countries bounded by a religion based on that religion.So many elements factor into defining poverty.Even our innovations contribute to poverty.Meanwhile if you want to judge countries, judge them individually.Not as a group, cos they might have just a few things in common. Also irrespective of your religion we all have the tendency to be corrupt, we all have the tendency to enrich ourselves at the expense of others, indirectly or directly.I rest my case |

shadeyinka:Bros, how does your example lend credence to trinity.You compare the duality of two different forms to the trinity of the same form.Now you claimed the angels must have been referring to the spirit being of the dead.So your body at moment is at best insignificant.However the components of trinity are significant in unison.There is no point where any of these components loses its significance. |
pappy4real:oso kole woko na,won yo gunle sebute ofo,aje ko lewoko na, woyo gunle sebute ofo.But sincerely bros, we are not worshiping as directed or layed down, so there are witches are wizards worshipping with us.Satani nkiri fun itiju.Oro oluwa kosin yin lati oke orun wa, emura ke gbo ipe na, keleri ogo re. Kawa file segun emi esu(that we may overcome the spirit of darkenss) ka sise pelu ife mimo.Our love towards each other has grown wax over the years,hence the spirit of darkness is consolidatin its hold in the church.May the lord save us. |
DirewolfofStark:Obviously we differ in our idea of "unsuited","the fact that he was a polygamist makes him unsuitable for a ministerial role", what do you mean by that bros, the quoted only implies that ministers impose themselves on their congregation.Go and read 1st timothy 3 vs 1-7(its what everyone quotes in favour of 1 wife).Read between the lines, that biblical quote, began by saying, "whoever desires", so this implies some desire to be bishops or ministers,others are called to be ministers.You are dramatizing polygamy more than it actually is or perhaps you consider some sins or failings greater than others,you are wrong.Now compare polygamy to the persecution of christians as carried out by saul before he became paul, would you call his animosity towards christians a minor misdemeanour, before he was called.Or did that prevent God from calling him.No it did not.If it was within my power to call anybody, saul would not qualify at the very least,but i am not God, samuel teaches us that God sees through the soul.Now to david, king david commited adultery and murder, if we were in the law court thts 2 counts,in the best case scenarion,its life improsonment.Was he punished?,yes he was and did it change what God feels about him, no, because, if it did, then God is not omnipotent.God was aware of his failings.Now in the bible there were distinctions between royalty and priesthood.David(he was not a king then) and his people ate consecrated bread offered by priest ahimeleck, the bread was solely meant for the levites, even if they had not been with women for 3 days.Ahimeleck should have been punished for doing this, so should david and his people.Some people will argue tht they were famished,so their intentions were innocentNow look at the death of Uzzah, he attempted to hold the ark, when the oxen stumbled, but what happened to him, he was struck.Now what would say"maybe he was struck because he had bad intentions".How do you know that, his intentions might have been innocent, but regardless, he violated a principle.Moses killed an egyptian, it was not even self defence, he saw an egyptian fighting with an isrealite, and he felt the urge to kill the egyptian.I will call that premeditated murder.But he was still called by God anyways.Peter denied christ 3 times, what do i call that bad followership, if i want to judge that, he would be in hell.The temptation might have been intense, but he failed anyway.So many guys consider judas a villain, but in my opinion,peter was equally a villain.Rules were made for men to obey, God can circumvent these laws however he pleases without question.The laws apply until God says otherwise.So i beseech thee, once again "study to show thyself approved". |
DirewolfofStark:Moral qualities, i beg to differ, you dont understand what morality means, and you seem to be a reckless judge, he was a polygamist before he was called, you probably would prefer he divorce all his wives except 1.You got to open minded bro."Study to show thyself approved".The quoted clause does not oblige you to pass a judgement based on a cursory reading or biased contextual extraction |
numericalguy:You already have predetermined notion abt the church, you never thought of any other reason for which the shepherd had a premonition other than being a scam, you never even considered the possibility that, he is a true prophet.I hail your superior judgement. |
2shur:Bros take am easy now, why the unnecessary vexation, cele prophet collect your girlfriend? |
unclezuma:you are funny bro, the logo has always been, you should rather say that the LGBTQ logo looks like CCC's |
Redomi:Basic maths,total amount borrowed=amount paid back + amount still yet to be paid.So if you are yet to pay 98 back, then amount paid back =2K.Now by your question you are trying to trick your audience by playing with numbers.the 1K you retained is out of the 98K you still owed, the laptop goes for 97K, because, there is no other transaction external to this system, you should have paid back the remaining 3K to your creditors, so you owe just the amount you bought the laptop, but this time you owe an amount greater than the cost of the laptop, so you are keeping the deficit.Or perhaps, we can look at this from another perspective.If you did give your creditors back 2K,then we can conclude that, in all you borrowed 98K from them.you paid 97K for the laptop, thus you keep the remaining 1K.The latter explanation better explains how the 1K retained comes out of the 98K you owe.good morning. |
dyshow:your questions are not clear |
Pointblank09:I beg jo, no 1 is not really a criteria for measuring the quality of education offered at a uni.How do you mean by basic infrastructures.If na power, then its not really a university issue, its a national issue. With regards to basic education, there is not much ug can offer, yes they have the noguchi memorial institute which is actually thriving, but university of ghana is better known for humanities than science and technology.They began offering education in the sciences not too long ago.The faculty of Engineering buildings looks pretty nice, but it has close to no required tech talkless of advanced tech.In 2013, they overadmitted students into the faculty of Engineering,over 350 students. I guess they realized it and admitted less students in the year 2014.You can have over 10 students sharing a set of apparatus during experiments,sometimes 1 apparatus for a multitude of students.For ghana's premier university, you should expect a well planned newly developed faculty, but tht cannot be said of UG. But there is 1 advantage though, there are no strikes, which is characteristic of Nigerians uni, and if any occurs, it usually takes a short time to be addressed.I can vouch for the stability, and i know thts what most of my Nigerian folks think.But there is no reason dramatizing the quality of education unis in Ghana offer. There are not so many unis in Ghana,and there are fewer unis(about 5 major unis), so the government should be up to task to manage them,this is the reason why the admission criteria is high for public schools(the best students attend the public schools-both secondary and tertiary),there are some private schools though on par or even better than the public schools,just with less internaitonal reputation..I dont understand the high influx of Nigerian students into unis in Ghana,i can understand KNUST and Uni of Ghana, but zenith college and co,i dont know what to say.I am not condemning any skul here, i am only stating the fact of quality,Nigerians are so in love with Ghanaian schools, that they would rather get into one, even if its just an aggregate of buildings. May God help us all, but i just want to clear the air, University of ghana is not better than Nigerian federal universities, and mind you i am more wound in the Ghanaian fabric than you can think of.I attended Uni of Ghana as a domestic student(Engineering) before i left,and i resided at commonwealth hall(VANDAL CITY) so i know exactly what is happening there. Their system is as ineffective as ours these days, the system should understand the needs of the people and integrate it where and when suitable,but the system decided that no other time was better for Engineering program at ghana's premier university than the 21st century.I guess the system was sleeping through the 20th century.The tuition fee for international students is far too much for its worth in my opinion.All ghana uni hopefuls i wish you all the best. |
SonOfEl:the funds made available makes a lot of difference bros. |
Statsocial:There are different rankings , top university offers quite a good ranking system too(i wont recommend shanghai ranking, because it over relies on end results(awards)), but, when you get to the graduate level, the choice of school becomes based on department, rather than the school in its entirety.Each school has its strengths.On some rankings, harvard bests caltech for the overall ranking, likewise for some subject rankings including physics.Different rankings use different methologies, for instance top universities uses number of citations/paper and h-index as indices.Mind you the indices span the last 5 years.So the issue of whcih university predates which does not matter.Even for THE though caltech is higher overall, in the specifics:citations and research,the results are fairly similar for both top university THE, harvard bests caltech in both.I rest my case for that.The RG scores does not only consist of the quantity, but it constitutes the quality as well:the number of researchers your paper has impacted.But regarding RG scores,you might be partially right abt covenant coming in a mould, CU has a higher RG/publication than the others, but most top universities have low RG/publication as well. However UI has a better international outlook(more papers being read by foreign researchers).I guess in this regard time will tell. |
TheVictorious:But on researchgate, UI has the highest RG scores of the 3,meanwhile RG scores is in the decreasing order UI>OAU>CU |
Pointblank09:Always!! No |
judey1992:It differs from one church to another, i dont know much about c and s, but the garment and loin colours are hierarchical, also while c and s permit red coloured garments, ccc prohibits such colours.Also garments in ccc are more harmonious , majority of members of different ranks wear white garments,though the loins may vary,likewise,some garments have capes. only the topmost ranked members put on additional robes, nd they are usually sitted at the altar.The colors vary from green to yellow,to purple.Some top ranked members are usually adorned in full regalia during occasions.Usually they wear white garments, in the catholic father-like fashion,some with the cape(the very topmost) others without the cape.Nonetheless some robes are for honourables, these are members who are not full-time workers in God's vineyard, but who contribute significantly to the growth of the church, similar to honorary degrees.In a typical ccc parish, you will see the harmonious variation of garments, all members in the main auditorium are always in white, while those with extra regalia sit in the altar section.The choristers are situated on the right in a barricade closest to the altar section with their white garments and a blue cape(yellowish neck and base region) around their necks(the choir masters usually wear robes, usually of the same colour, but reaching the knees) |
Exciton:obviously, u didnt understand what i wrote,i never claimed moving force, my claim was moving charges produce electromagnetic fields, akin claims otherwise,he opines that only accelerated charges produce electromagnetic field.He implies that,an electromagnetic field implies an electromagnetic wave, and vise versal, which is not true, while an electromagnetic wave implies an electromagnetic field, the reverse is not true, or in order words an electromagnetic wave is a subset of an electromagnetic field. 2.I am not disbuting hte fact that accelerated charges radiate EM waves.Obviously you didnt read my posts in details, or you didnt understnad my point. 3.You were right about my believe in the deterministic nature of measurement in QM.Obviously i do nto believe i nthe copenhagen interpretation, which implies that by measurement(as applied to the double slit) we force nature to make a decision,informally, electrons know when we are watching.I believe that the measuring instrument interferes with the pattern to be created by electrons.My point in this regard stems from the properties of the measuring system, the question is how does the instrument measure which slit the electrons pass through,does it not produce electromagnetic radiations or Electromagnetic field in the process?thts my general opinion on that point. 4.The other thing i disagree with is the conclusion of a section of the experiment.The interference pattern created by electrons passing through the double slit, made scientists suggest that probably,the pattern could have been due to collisions between electrons(thts even very unlikely, there would be chaos, hence, we should not have the fine interference pattern created).So they setup a control-allowing the electrons through 1 after the other,believing that in this case, there should be no interference. By performing this experiment,2 strips where initially formed, which is reminiscent of the particle nature, but after a considerable period of time(1 hr), the interference pattern forms again.My misgiving concerning this is that,after a period of time, you will likely have a cloud of electrons in the set up,so you can still have an interference pattern. |
Exciton:seriously, that guy is damn condescending, but no wahala, meanwhile, you defined the existence of more than 1 possible state, as the quantum superposition of states, tht goes witht saying, i was not really commenting on tht, our friend said in a previous post in quantum physics an electron can occupy two positions at the same time. and he called it quantum tunnelling,thts incoherent, he also claims tht only accelerated electrons produce electromagnetic fields, do u believe that, he even further to stipulated tht the wave function is only position dependent, the wave function is represented by the differential equation d^2y/dx^2=(1/v^2)d^2y^2/d^t2(d is partial) which has a general solution y=f(x+-vt), where v =velocity, the differential eqn is directly derivable from analysing the dynamics of a travelling wave(e.g an oscillating rope).thts for that,bro. |
AkinPhysicist:you miscontrued the point, i used the word "both", the electron has a non-zero probability of being outside the box after time t,no argument about that , but this statement does not mean an electron can exist both in the box and out of the box at the same time, it only means the electron either exists in the box or out of the box, with each likely occurrence having its probability.In other words i mean the probability of it existing both in the box and out of the box is 0.and stop repeating the statement,"it has been proven experimentally decades ago", i am not disputing the phenomenon "quantum tunnelling",it exists, anyone can check that out on google. AkinPhysicist:you didnt understand "can" in the context, i meant "an electron is charged or has a charge", and i never suggested that accelerated electrons do not produce electromagnetic fields, they do, but you suggested in an earlier post that, only accelerated electrons produce magnetic fields which is false. you should read landau lifshitz volume 2(classical theory of fields), it probably provides the most indepth knowledge on the subject. AkinPhysicist:A charge does not have to accelerate to produce an electromagnetic field,but ur statement(bolded) only implies that.However, conversely a charge has to accelerate to be able to produce electromagnetic radiations.electromagnetic radiations are oscillating electromagnetic fields or stem from changing components of an electromagnetic field(but the resultant energy of the electromagnetic field is constant though). Refer to Landau lifshitz volume 2, page 103-105 AkinPhysicist:what do you mean by The field of a charge does not affect the charge itself but other charges around it?the word itself does not mean exerting a force on itself, it means the force is mutual, a magnetic force is exerted on an electron in the magnetic field becos it exerts the same magnitude of magnetic force.Simple. AkinPhysicist:my theory is not fully fledged, i am still developing,infact i only talked about it here because, this is an informal platform.You will agree with me that a neutron has an intrinsic magnetic moment,but is electrically neutral when stationary. an electric field can be generated by a change in magnetic field, the motion of a neutron causes a change in magnetic field, hence electric field is produced,so u see, a neutron produces an electromagnetic field when it is in motion. AkinPhysicist:oh my oh my, you dont get it bro,i didnt need B = constant qv X rhat/r^2 to prove my point,the equation F=Bqvsin(theta) is just good enough to prove my point, a magnetic field precludes a magnetic force,an electron with a velocity v, experiences a magnetic force in an external magnetic field becos it exerts the same magnitude of magnetic force, i expected u to understood,the significance of each symbol,i can always get any equation and definition of symbols by googling it,so u see, u re being condescending,my formula wasn't wrong, i only didn't define the symbols. you seem to eager to show that you know a lot of equations, nd thts fine.I am happy you brought this equation up,based on ur proposed equation B = constant qv X rhat/r^2 ,it is logical to say that an electron moving at a constant velocity produces a magnetic field ,irrespective of the state of motion of the electron. The electron produces an electric field too .what do you call a field consisting of both a magnetic and an electric field component? i would call it electromagnetic.so it is only logical to say that an electron moving at constant velocity, v produces an electromagnetic field,if you agree with this logical input, then it is not logical to say that only accelerated electrons produce electromagnetic fields like u suggested in an earlier post,but because by virtue of your equation and the gauss law, an electron moving at a constant velocity should produce an electromagnetic field, but you can suppose that an electromagnetic wave(by definition-photons). Even an electron stationary but spinning produces an electromagnetic field.Perhaps you should explain what you understand by an electromagnetic field or what you call a field that consists of both an electric component and a magnnetic component?You keep saying 101, i dont know where you studied physics, but i can only suppose phys 101 is the 1st physics, nd as far as i am concerned its newtonian mechanics. |
