Ranchhoddas:
So you admit that you are gambling?

Very much unimpressive...
Read the comments that followed tis' ...
You should get your answer....

I'm sorry this might be lengthy, but please bear with my long post.. Also I'll be treating you as one who has read much on things embedded in the bible - meaning I'll be making more scriptural references.

HardMirror:

I undertook several discipleship under various pastors (I travel a lot so had lots of pastors) and many of them confirmed this too.
My definition of definite? Well all I know I had a calling not to build churches, or have denominations (I related with many denominations) my job was simple win souls and move on to the next soul to be won.
Conviction is not something I can explain to you. I have expressly stated that the Holy spirit related things to me. So knowing my calling was child's play.
Can we quit going in circles now?

Sensitive matters are at best treated with patience... I do hope you grant me patience with regards my questions..
I might sound ridiculous asking questions that look/seem I'm repeating myself, but believe me, I'm not... Please also do pardon my imprudence in advance if you feel I'm stepping on your nerves.

Still re-iterating the quote below, how are you sure things related to you by the spirit we're not things you placed as idols in your heart?

I have expressly stated that the Holy spirit related things to me.

In terms of the idols - referencing your fantasy about "Your desire was to win souls, strong attraction to evangelists and apostles".
Could this have been the little thing that you probably didn't think count but caused a massive alteration to your purpose and destiny.
Although you might want to reiterate your argument that your calling was definite, but there are chances what you thought was your calling wasn't really your calling. It could be the strange sons David talked about in Psalms 144:7 - 14. Or could be that you were answered according to what you kept as idols in your heart.
Secondly, could it have been that when you turned to Christ, you separated yourself from the world but not unto God - implying that although you were separated, you never really journeyed unto God. It might have looked like it on the physical, but never on the spiritual.

Just incase the above pissed you off, you might want to skip to the next question
You must have been prone to some bad habits before you turned to Christ, might I ask what those bad habits were?

HardMirror:

I was definite about my calling.

Considering the aforementioned or not?
Also, might I ask of your definition of definite?
I'd also appreciate if you could also give instances of this definite claim?

HardMirror:

From the time I was saved, all I desired was to win souls. I just can't be at peace with my self when I am not winning souls. I discovered I also had a strong attraction to evangelists and apostles, more than I had to teachers and pastors. [b]Most of my friends were evangelists too.
[/b]As for conviction. Those were times I communicated with the Holy Spirit so it was easy to hear the Holy Spirit expressly tell me all God wanted was for me to win souls.

I kept seeing visions of me evangelising to muslims in islamic nations. Being an evangelist in islamic nations was my vision

Might I ask sir, we're you aware of the scripture in the bible (Ezekiel 14:4) that states "Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols"

Could it have been that what really made you an evangelist was your fantasy about one and not the true call of God for you?
I do hope this dosen't anger you in anyway sir. I await your sincere reply.
If you're wondering why I'd assert this sir, the bolded in your response prompted me to inquire.

The Holy Spirit expressly tell me all God wanted was for me to win souls.

If you're in disagreement with my above stated assertion, you would quite agree with me that the winning of souls can be accomplished in any department of the five fold ministry.

HardMirror:

Ephesians 4:11. I just told you evangelism -evangelist. What else do you want. Is there another name for evangelist?

Sorry Sir, but I prefer when individuals are specific... In your previous statement, you made use of the word more of;

HardMirror:

I was an more of an evangelist though the church leadership gave me pastorial roles occasionally, but soul winning was my passion and what I enjoyed doing most.

Your use of the word made me think you're not entirely sure.

Might I ask again sir. What was the conviction of your calling and how were you called?

hopefulLandlord:


Lol

And what logic have you "dispelled"?

Those with the remaining 4999 keys are just as doomed as someone without a key at all

There's a possibility of the door being thrown wide open or there's no door at all since there's a possibility we stay dead after death so holding a key might just end up being as useless as not holding any

And even if your god is the one true God, what makes you so sure he'll throw me in hell

He just might allow atheists and Christians alone into heaven while throwing adherents of other religions into hell since he " works in mysterious ways"

Maybe you're getting it...
But there's always a door as every value we hope to possess always has a key.
And the door is always locked and opened only to those who have the key.
Just as the saying goes "If wishes we're horses, beggars would ride".
The quote goes on to dispel the fact that stated doors are thrown wide open

The key to success, the key to wealth, wisdom, long life etc.
This all shows there's always a key.
And if there's a key to all of this, there's surely a key to the life beyond life.
If we stay dead after death, this would mean we never chose to use the key.
If the key grants entry to eternal life, then there must be a deliberate action to open the door.
If my God is the one true God, he won't throw you into hell. My God never would, throw you to hell.
The journey to hell is a process one which you either chose to walk through that process or not.
By definition, hell is the final product you find yourself embracing should you chose to walk through its path. As plants would produce more plants, and animals produce more animals, so does walking the path of hell lead to hell.

As for your final assertion, God just might... Who knows just as you said "God works in mysterious ways"
But then there's another part to this...

HardMirror:

I was an more of an evangelist though the church leadership gave me pastorial roles occasionally, but soul winning was my passion and what I enjoyed doing most.

I'm sorry sir, but this is not the answer to the question...
What was your calling? Infers in what department of the "5 fold ministry" were you called into?
I'd really appreciate if you can spell this out.

MizMyColi:


If that were so, then the precept of admissibility of testimony from certain witnesses in a court of law would be completely ruled out.

So, if you cannot consider the possibility of my story and try to reach a conclusion from their, pass please.

It is not a command, it ("please" is a request.

I thought they call this hypocrisy....
You let the logic pass the test when it pertains to issues of your own construct, but let the logic fail if it doesn't appease you - especially when it has to deal with the existence of an intelligent designer.
Plus don't say I'm bugging you... You clearly stated your previous assertion was a request and not a command which I'd gladly decline...

hopefulLandlord:


You're still proving yourself expert at shooting yourself

You're saying he might be right which also leaves the possibility that he might be wrong, amirite?

So he's basically telling the guy to chose his own even though he might be wrong and have just same fate as someone who didn't chose at all

You're bad at this....
My assertion was never at your intended (was never to tell you whether he's right or wrong)
My assertion was to dispel your logic about choosing 1 of 5000

hopefulLandlord:


The point of the post is lost on you as always

There are 5000 different gods, your odd of choosing the right one is 1/5000

But never mind, only yours is right

The fact that the odd of choosing right doesn't negate the fact that the one he choose might just be right.

Take for instance 5000 persons each having a personal key.
You wish to access a door and of the 5000 persons, you can select any to try of their key.
Should you by chance choose the correct person with the correct key does not negate the fact of truth here cuz the odds states 1 in 5000.
Its not about the odds bro, its about choosing right..

HardMirror:
Simple.
Don't ask for my Name cos I am not ready to reveal my identity. Yes I am afraid of people than I am afraid of an imaginary God. I know how Nigerians hate atheists, not ready to be lynched.

Any other questions are welcomed

Here's my question... "What exactly was your calling?".

Goddys:
Otem, you are a highly ranked demon in a human flesh out to deceive the weak.. God is not slack to keep His word but I that all may come to repentance.

You still have chance to repent as the life you have can be with withdrawn by Him anytime if he wishes.

You've probably done more harm than good.
In case you've forgotten, God is the Lord of all flesh (be it sinners, believers or whatever you place into the argument). In as much as a sinner can blasphem against God, they do it in ignorance - you can reference Paul's writings about this. Although they do this, the blood of Christ still speaks for them. Just as you guessed, the blood of Christ speaks good things for them.
Its why you can't say grace without the word amazing attached to it.

CoolUsername:


I compared the Bible's claims to what we see in reality and was disappointed. I don't have a sob story.

Reality is overrated.

MizMyColi:


You don't need to confirm.

If you cannot take my word for it, pass please.

Oh! My.... And here I thought the evidence in truth for the existence for anything as you have preciously inferred in past years was factual concrete proof.
I would however pass as commanded. I do hope you get the proof you seek.

MizMyColi:
@Megawax8

This wasn't a swollen face.
It was a wound.

You know how when someone scratches you and the blood clots forming some kinda line that has black covering, that's what I'm talking about.

This is not the first time I have had such.You will agree with me that such lingers.

As I talk to you I checked my body to see marks that have healed, but if you look at my legs for example, you will notice an evidence of a mark/scar, though it has healed.

Now, if this is something I can dismiss or give an explanation to, I will not be writing here.

I know what I experienced that night.

A year later, I asked one of the people who prayed with me if she remember my sharing this experience with them and she replied in the affirmative.

And how do we confirm you're tellin' the truth 'bout tis'...

I loved math like I love my mother..... I hated Yoruba though... Didn't sit for it in WAEC... Just didn't like it one bit....

I love this Obiano guy.... thanks so much for this...
I loved Anambra when I went there....
I really love seeing development...
More grease to the elbow of those who made this work and those to follow in their footsteps....

Thank God I read somethin' positive in the news today...

coolmc:
is dat all u gat?

Mr zombie

All I got?..
Dude, I could make it much worse for you...

Op.. Whatever you're smokin'... It definitely works..

Sincerely.. The OP is right.. This act of the FG actually speaks of the highest form of hypocrisy....
I am really disappointed in this move..

So Buhari has ruled fot 2 years?

You never did pay attention to details... I never talked about the years Buhari ruled for. I'm pointing out the fact that years are zero indexed...

gurunlocker:

And you seem smart making a fool of yourself innit?.. I'll allow you to wallow in your delusion of self pity and appraisal...

EbirichBen:

gurunlocker:

Ikwokrikwo:
how is that six years? Are you educated at all?

Kenobus:

2010 to 2015 is 5 years. Go and enrole for arithmetic!

It's six years from 2010 to 2015... You all forget the first year itself counts...

Count...

2010 = 1
2011 = 2
2012 = 3
2013 = 4
2014 = 5
2016 = 6

Years are zero indexed.. The word zero itself counts...

Buhari is the litmus test for corruption crusade yardstick as he is GUILTY of incomplete asset declaration and should resign with IMMEDIATE effect if he has any atom of integrity in him.
