The conflicting and contradictory accounts all boil down to the fact that hell is a myth. . . . .Read Joy Maher's account of her visit to hell and compare it to the fiction that OLAADEGBU posted above and you will see that these people only peddle these stories because they want to scare people and force them to believe their baseless and ridiculous lies. . . .Their accounts are completely different and contradictory, yet the same people all claimed that Jesus or some angels took them to heaven and hell. . . .

Abeg, I agree with you completely, totally and absolutely.  There is no difference between religion and science.

If anyone wants to come and state otherwise let them come

Cheap Propaganda,why is Abuja not on the list? Eko oni baje jo!!

The best cities in the world are centuries/hundreds of years old with billions of dollars to work with in terms of annual budget. Also, most of them are not burdened with 18 million people

Very well said bruv,when will these i.diots stop writing reports from the comfort of their bedrooms about places they've NEVER visited in their lives
The so-called report is not worth the paper it was written on,WHAT A WASTE OF INK AND PAPER

Dodgur:
Blackcypha- I am by no way saying that God is a different God than the Old Testament they are one and the same. Jesus is God he was there the whole time just as the Holy Spirit was, things were different back then for different reasons.

Dodgur:
What does this all mean?

OT Even the best of us are not good enough.

NT Even the worst of us are good enough as long as we recognize Jesus, are forgiven (ie become Christian) and try. He loves ya dude and everyone else reading this He loves you too. The only thing he asks us to do is acknowledge Him for who He is, ask forgiveness, and try and live the way He showed us too. I know we don’t understand everything about God and we won’t, none of us, until we are with Him. But He is a loving God

Please read JOHN 3:16 and get back to me.
Jesus never claimed to be God.

its interesting to observe how what is essentially the same process can provide opposingly different experiences
if you want to imagine how close it is then you can picture a wall clock that has clocked the ultimate hour already

many people's minds are too shallow to understand some very deep things such as the forms and the essence that drives us but if u truely believe in powerful spiritual experiences, and your mind is very alert then
don't you see the glaring signs all over the place?

you can welcome the enlargement of your awareness as an opportunity of becoming deeply conscious of it gradually and you can integrate it to urself

every human rises and falls just as your chest is doing right now as you breathe in and out and that is why you have to be absolutely deeply excitedly aware of these great mystical and extremely dreadful extra terrestial events that will take over your world sooooon.
we won't be around forever but we will live forever
think not?

THE TIME IS HERE NOW!!
OH YEAH JUST LIKE THE EARLY XTIANS OF THE 1ST CENTURY BELIEVED THAT THEY WER CLOSE TO THE HOUR OF THE RAPTURE,
WHEN WILL XTIANS REALISE THAT ALL THESE BIBLE PARABLES WER MEANT TO EXPLAIN
YHE EMOTIONS THE JEWS WER FEELIN FROM THE OPPRESSION OF THE ROMANS , ?
ALL THOSE BEAST MARK 666 AND ETC WER SYMBOLS USED TO REPRESENT THE ROMAN GOVMENT SO DAT
THE XTAINS WILL NOT BE KILLED WHEN THOSE LETTERS R SEEN BY THE ROMANS ,
IS IT OT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

How many of us really know the reasons for tithing? Or we are stone-facedly following the practice like the successive tying of the ashram cat? Why is it not found in the New Testament if it is so important? Are we slaves to God, or sons in his kingdom? Who are we meant to give our tithe to, then?

God is more interested in your heart that gives, and not in any percentage. e.g. the widow's tiny mite was far greater than any billions dropped by a business mogul. THAT is God's heart, and that's how things work spiritually.

Deu 26:12  Every third year, the year of the tithe, give a tenth of your produce to the Levite, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow so that they may eat their fill in your cities.

If tithing must indeed be done compulsorily, then this aspect always misses people's ears. The foreigner with no inheritance / the stranded one / the one who cannot afford to go to school, the orphan / widowed / from a broken home who has nothing to call their own, the Levite who also has no inheritance and has nothing to call their own IS the one that you pay this particular tenth to. But, no, people will lay up their 10% and bandy it to to the church, passing over half-dead and hungry neighbours, leaving the good Samaritan to attend to those ones.

There are people dying in Jos, Nigeria; and in Haiti. People have been rendered homeless and hungry. Send them help, let God use you! THAT is how to give to God!!

Tithe Origins: Please take note of all the emphasized words
Deu 14:22  Make an offering of ten percent, a tithe, of all the produce which grows in your fields year after year.
Deu 14:23  Bring this into the Presence of GOD, your God, at the place he designates for worship and there eat the tithe from your grain, wine, and oil and the firstborn from your herds and flocks. In this way you will learn to live in deep reverence before GOD, your God, as long as you live.
Deu 14:24  But[b] if the place GOD, your God, designates for worship is too far away and you can't carry your tithe that far[/b], [size=13pt]GOD, your God, will still bless you[/size]:
Deu 14:25  exchange your tithe for money and take the money to the place GOD, your God, has chosen to be worshiped.
Deu 14:26  Use the money to buy anything you want: cattle, sheep, wine, or beer--anything that looks good to you. You and your family can then feast in the Presence of GOD, your God, and have a good time.
Deu 14:27  [size=13pt]Meanwhile[/size], don't forget to take good care of the Levites who live in your towns; they won't get any property or inheritance of their own as you will.

The last words in green is where tithes apply to the pastor, but people have overshadowed this to cover ALL the aspects of tithing, which was a Jewish RITUAL custom! Many people are doing what they have NO understanding of, and they do it out of fear.

I am not against sending a prophet's offering to your church / pastor, or to give bountifully and reap bountifully, but there is no compulsory tithing in the New Testament.

I have searched throughout the Bible and I cant find where Christians are asked to tithe, eat the tithe (or even give it to the church, like they do today) and all that. Whoever can show this to me from the Scriptures will educate my long-lasting ignorance.

The word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Amen and amen.

Dodgur:
The logic in what I said came from a British author from the early 20th century, as I stated in my post, therefore you comment is meaningless and does not have an argument beyond simple contradiction for the point of contradiction
