onumadu:
I have read through your posts on this issue and come to the conclusion that you and I are closer to sharing the same understanding of what Jesus Christ is about.
I have had this argument with certain people on this website, and have gone through the same pains of trying to explain the same thing.

The position you are trying to explain is that I call "enlightened Christianity" or "Jesusism" .
It emphasizes the spiritual rather than the physical.

Jesus walked and worked in AGAPE (divine love).

I keep saying that if Jesus were to come disguised today, no church would allow him to even preach!
The church today is actually manned by the scribes and pharisees of our time. Every generation and every age always had them.

I am wowed! I thought I was the only one! Just like Prophet Elijah said in 1st Kings! 18!

Very soon, God will bring everyone of us out to correct the misconceptions in Christianity.

Kobojunkie:
1. Do you know that the disciples never had your Bible in hand during their entire time on this planet? Do you know why? Because God is not in a book. His Words may be written in a book but God Himself is not in a book. Anyways...

2. What amounts to ignorance reading without comprehending what it is you read. [/b]The information you quoted from [b]Romans 6 vs 14 & Romans 8 vs 1 - 5 is simply Paul explaining the why of becoming born-again — adopting Jesus Christ over the Old Law of Moses. Paul in those passages attempts to explain what it means to be born of water(abandon the Old Law and be reborn into the New Law) AND Born of Spirit(of Eternal Life). As Jesus Christ made clear in His Gospel, " Except a man be born again — Born of water and Born of Spirit — he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. - John 3 vs 1 - 21" So, here's my question to you at this point. Are you trying to tell us here and now that you are born again — born of water and born of Spirit? If yes, what proof do you have of this?

3. None of what you described as your purpose fits in with any of that stated by Jesus Christ is why I keep insisting that you be true to yourself. You cannot emulate Jesus Christ if He is not first master over you, and Jesus Christ is God's Law, and Truth in the Kingdom of God meaning if you are not first born-again, and submitted in obedience to His teachings and commandments, you are simply not of Him, and this is what Jesus Christ said. He made clear that those who belong to Him — those who love Him — are those who submit to and obey His teachings and commandments - John 14 vs 15 - 23- implying that those who do not obey Him but proclaim His name anyways are enemies.

So which is it? Are you submitted in obedience to Jesus Christ or are you not? By the way, there are no seers in Jesus Christ(the Kingdom of God) as it is not as it was in the Old Law of Moses, as you must have at least gleaned from Paul's writeup which you quoted earlier. [/b]Jesus Christ defined the limits of what is available to those who belong to Him and being a seer is not one of them rather all visions are restricted to that which only has to do with the Kingdom of God — [b]John 14 vs 15 - 26 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 16.

4[b]. I am a follower of Jesus Christ — I live my life in submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments, God's Constitutional Law in the Kingdom of God[/b] — meaning I live and breathe Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone, and as such I know the Truth of God enough to know that which is not of Him and that which is of Him.

Why do you keep shooting yourself in the foot?
You recently claim to follow Christ in your last paragraph yet you know so little of him and his Father... this is because you have been reading the bible as an ordinary book without spiritual guidance.

Let's correct that. Before you read the Holy Scriptures, ask for the help of the Holy spirit, who is the Comforter and Teacher, open your heart and be willing to learn, you will discover something new. And please don't argue or fight with me, just do this because you have a flawed understanding of the whole issue. Unlearn and Learn.
Shalom.

Kobojunkie:
1. I am not an orthodox Jew and what I keep quoting is Jesus Christ, the Law in the Kingdom of God. If you are not under Law/agreement with Jesus Christ — again, Jesus Christ is God's Constitutional Law and Truth in the nation that is the Kingdom of God — what that means is you have no part in God of Scripture and most definitely do not have grace(Eternal Life) since the only source of Eternal life(grace) for going on 2000 years is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone.

Please abandon all the rhetoric you have fed on from the mouths of religious individuals, open your eyes and mind, as well as the book, and let it read itself to you. None of what you claim is Scriptural nor has anything to do with what is stated in Scripture.

2. Atheism? On the contrary, it is rather what is of Scripture, I am afraid. God did not write even a word found in that book, and for good reason, especially one such as this. That book is written in human language and for human consumption and so ought to be comprehended the same way you would any other book written by humans. In His Law, Jesus Christ, God even insisted that rather than to those who simply study to master what is written, it is to those who do what is written in His Law that He will give more understanding of His Word to — those who use the understanding you have and more understanding will be given to you; those who do not use the understanding they have will have even the little they had taken away from them. And understanding for humans comes by way of comprehension of the human kind. So, if you think that is atheism, then you don't know God at all.

You have your way with words... Twisting and arranging them to suit your very own context! To you, the scripture is a story book, to me, it means much more.

Your first paragraph exposed how ignorant you are of who Jesus Christ was and his finished work. The Holy Scriptures says in Romans 6vs14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

And to further clarify in Romans 8v1-5 by saying "there is therefore now, no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Having discovered myself and my purpose, it is only fair that I come across people who are still searching for the right path. I am a True Christian, I emulate Christ's life and teachings hence I am not bound by religion and her dogmas. Being a Seer, even though I have not fully utilized my potential (for now) has made my life better than ever. Its not just Prescience or what you will call Deja'vu, its bigger than human comprehension.

You're not religious, not a Christian neither a Muslim nor identify as an Atheist or a Scientist, how on this Godly Earth would you grasp whatever I ha e been explaining?

Kobojunkie:
1. I asked you questions in order that I might understand your reasoning. That is just it.

2. Please desist from speaking of that which you have no real knowledge of. In both the Old and New Laws are commandments which dictate that in order to be made Holy by the Law one must observe all of the Law. Essentially if you break one commandment, you transgress the entire Law; Each and everyone of God's Law is All-or-Nothing.

That book is written in human language and for human consumption and so ought to be comprehended the same way you would any other book written by humans. So I see no reason why you would think it should say something different from that which which original authors, all of them humans, expressed in clear text. undecided

.

You may be an orthodox Jew? You keep quoting the law and its hold. I for one am not Limited by the law because I have found grace! And like I said earlier, no one can define a path for God, he can do whatever he pleases and I will honestly make the mistake of assuming you already know this.

Your last paragraph speaks Atheism. The Scriptures inspired by God has proven itself through out the ages and not just as an ordinary book but God's Words written by selected servants and Prophets, it is not to be considered as an "ordinary book".

Kobojunkie:
1. I am really not interested in the light you have to shed as I only asked questions that ought to be simple for you to respond to given you admitted earlier that your belief has absolutely nothing to do with Scripture.

God of Scripture set up two Nations and gave to each a Law/Covenant to act as a National Constitution for the citizens of each Nation to live by. And according to God of Scripture, it is those citizens of the individual Nations who submit and obey His teachings and commandments contained in His Law that enjoy the blessings and rewards which He has prepared in each case.
■ The Old Law of Moses — YHWH— which details approximately 613 commandments and statutes all make up the Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan, a Constitutional Law handed by God to the people of Israel.
■ The New Law in the Kingdom of God — Jesus Christ — which details approximately 100 commandments and teachings all of which make up the Constitutional Law in God's special Nation of Priests, embodied in the person of Jesus Christ.

2. So, your suggestion is that OP gets himself used to the emotional upheaval rather than see ways to resolve the mental issues that might be behind it all, or even the supposed "spiritual" presence? Or are you saying he needs to figure out the "spiritual" presence... by the way, what is the name of the deity your deal was made with? I had asked earlier as this discussion might not make sense to OP is he has no relationships with said deity, right?

It is sad a thing to see that you do not seek answers to your question but a logical ground for argument, trying to make scientific sense out of spirituality.

It is true that there are hundreds of laws in both the old and new testament but you only need to obey one and everything else will fall into place. "loving God and Loving your neighbour as yourself," And I hope that your logical mind can understand much more about that than it Meets the eye.

God is a personal experience.

The majority of things and situations in this present World have no clear explanation and Spirituality tops the list. Certain things I've spoken about in all my epistles to you can only be understood by Esoterics and I have spoken too much to an Exoteric. The OP Understands my message better than you do.

A piece of advice for you concerning religion and religious texts, when you study them, study with an open heart wanting to learn and not try to look for errors and flaws because if you're on a quest to find anomalies, grammatical blunders, contradictory messages and texts, boy you'd find one too many to count and miss it all.
Shalom.

Kobojunkie:
As for what is written in Proverbs 4 vs 7, well, the same book of Proverbs tells you that Wisdom is subject to the God of Scripture and you can only access her if you obey the teachings and commandments of the God of Scripture. Since you don't subscribe to the God of Scripture, care to explain how exactly you are able to access His very own Wisdom?

3. OP described himself as being fearfully awoken from sleep several nights in a row by this phenomenon. No be anxiety that one be?

What is this commandment of the God of the Scripture you refer to? Your answer will determine how much light I shed.

The OP being '' fearfully awake from sleep is as a result of a spiritual Prescence in his room. His lack of words to describe the feeling was coined into the word "fear" as he is still Limited. When he gets used to it, he may experience joy or gloomy sadness sometimes after an encounter with messages

YangaBabe:
nope that's not the point, the point is many people have used TECNO phones and never had any reason for repairs.

Oh... You meant the Lucky few?

I for one, don't trust Transsion devices because they cut corners to deliver more cheaper devices and hence you cant compare their products with premium based like Sammy, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Gionee and Huawei.

Even the lesser know producers like Oukitel and Blackview have more durable devices compared.

Incredible128:
Do you know what u are saying? How can u say the note 12 was made to compete with the S23? Was that a typographical error on Ur part?

Acknowledged, I meant to say the Xiaomi 13 ultra

YangaBabe:
many people use tecno and have never visited carlcare so what's your point?

They have us IT technicians, and they are willing to pay for our services instead of queing at Carlcare Service centre to claim warranty on their device

Kobojunkie:
1. I am glad you at least distance yourself from the God of Scripture who says absolutely none of what you claim here. He is not some sort of talisman or ward against what these things you describe.

2. What is the name of the deity your mother made this deal with so OP at least compare to be certain it is the same deity in his case, assuming someone also made a deal of some kind in his case.

So, you experienced this sort of anxiety and believe your ability as a seer is the reason why you had the experience?

For as much as you found the time to compose your questions in three parts to appear concise and very inquiring, I chose not to answer you straight forward as I sense mockery in your writeup. Firstly I can understand you are a new born/ overtly religious Christian still spiritually blind and spoonfed by your religious leader. I implore you to read The Book of Proverbs 4vs7, you will get the message if you drop ego and pride aside.

I tell the truth by saying that God Almighty isn't bound by any religion and no matter who you are or what you think, that isn't going to change.

To call this experience a "sort of anxiety" deduces apt ignorance and spiritual immaturity on your part, you can work on that.

Kobojunkie:
Are you yourself a seer? What do you see and how has it resolved your own life?

Which God do you connect these claims to by the way?

Well, I for one experienced this but I've never for once heard my name being called clearly, that's one option, to have your name called if you have been blind to signs and messages being given to you physically and in your dreams. But before you answer as your name will be called again due to your current spiritual blindness, draw closer to God Almighty(He doesn't belong to any religion but I have full access to him through my own religion which is Christianity)

I am a Seer too, not out of my own choosing but an oath between my mother and God before my birth. And discovering myself wasn't a two day journey, but since I gained consciousness of who I am, my life has been different, positively. I occassionally lose track of who I am until I call myself to order. But I am better than ever.

Enddy50ty:
This is one of the reasons why I don’t like Samsung phones.
The screen is outrageously expensive and it always have issues of dead panels. (Motherboards)

As a technician, I can boldly say I only encounter dead panels from transsion devices more than any other, and its mostly power ic issues

Roomateneeded:
Hello everyone,

For three consecutive night 2, I have been waking up exactly two, scared and feeling like someone is watching me.

I live alone in an environment far from my state. Nobody knows me around here. The thing is, I have terrible dreams before waking up by that time and I can't even recall any of them again. Also, my business is now being affected negatively.

Please I need help.

Fact is, you're a Seer! Not a Prophet, but a Seer! Get closer to God and learn to pray, not "fall and die prayer". Learn to communicate with God and everything will be okay.

Its not an accident that you wake up 2am for 3 consecutive days, that's only 3 days you remembered, its been going on like that for your entire life but you didn't notice, the spiritual realm is very accessible from 2am to around 3:30 am.

Hearing your name clearly at that hour of the morning in a place where no one knows you is even more valid. Connect to God and it will become clearer. Please stay away from sin ooo.

Just take a bike from UI to TollGate, Oba Otudeko Avenue, visit the Security out post and tell them you would like to visit the Admin building for enquiries. Once you're allowed in, go straight to the Admin building and make enquiries. You should have learnt how to approach people and strike conversations during your stint in a Federal University like UI.

Meath:
Hello everyone.

So today, I decided to make a bold move and stop once and for all.

Any way I will be updating this daily with my progress.

Seun
Nlfpmod

Can move this to front page to encourage others like me. Thank you.

Congratulations, OP on your very wise decision, its better to kill your obvious problems before it Kills you. And I thank God you are trying to escape kidney and liver damage. God bless you on your journey.

kestolove95:
What is tramadol even use for?

Tramadol is a strong synthetic pain killer found in the family of panadol, ibuprofen, refnol, paracetamol and every other "-ol" family of analgesic but with varying strength. It was created to be administered to patients who have undergone certain painful surgery operations where mild pain killers like panadol and ibuprofen would not be of any help to mitigate the after-surgery pains. It is administered on a 1mg to 1kg body ratio every 8 hours, depending on the severity of the pain. It found its way into the Street given the fact that it also has certain side effects like drowsiness and mood alteration/enhancement, making most users feel very good and also elated for the duration of around 8 hours or more for first time users.

I read a lot about it five years ago and why it is being abused from the American Medical Journal so my explanation is based on all I remembered.

Oba gha to kpere, otenmwen no mose! Igbo boy born and bred in The Great Benin Kingdom. The way we live our lives are way more advanced and I hope other people who want to evolve will copy us and enjoy the benefits. It Pays to be a person of integrity and even though there are bad people in every tribe, B-side included, its rampant in the South West, and even if you were Yoruba, you would still be treated the same way and this I have seen happen in my current City of abode(Ibadan)

A Bini man is responsible for the progress of another Bini man as a brother, like wise an Igbo but in my almost 13 years of residence in Yoruba land, this I have not seen. But I must confess that I have encountered Yorubas who are so good to a fault that you wouldn't believe they were Yorubas after all the bad things you've heard about Yorubas.

The new nigeria is already taking shape and people who are tribalistically bigoted cannot survive in IT. We will get there. GOD BLESS EVERY TRUE NIGERIAN, AMEN.

Itidicious:
I don't like techno phones sha. I was looking at Samsung, Nokia, Xiaomi and oppo brand.

You're joking, right

Redmi uses majority of parts sourced from samsung, redmi is a good choice because samsung makes high quality parts. Dont go near the Tecno, if you get unlucky, you may have to keep visiting Carlcare for a long time. The redmi is a great cheat over the samsung a24 and this is because the redmi note 12 was made to compete with the S23.

Edit: not the ordinary note 12 but the Xiaomi 13/Ultra, just an Innocent typo but xiaomi is still better than tecno.

100mb and you guys are complaining? Na how much data una dey subscribe sef? 1gb per month? I Budget 15 gb for updates on all mú devices even my Windows 11 machine. Good thing is that once you allow all your device to fully update properly, you'd be spending very little on updates later on. But I do subscribe around 50gb monthly on my phone sha. I'm a phone and PC technician so I always need to be online.

I was also thinking something similar like the OP, adult females nowadays age 25 and above, the majority of them take pleasure in their bad character and the society doesn't hold them accountable or responsible for anything.

Truth is, men can date any available female but will only marry a woman of high value! All the females I've come across in my entire dating life only discovered I was the best for them after we broke up! Two of them were single moms. The first one claimed she was raped(I didn't even bother to verify) but she later lied about being pregnant and having a miscarriage for me, I was devastated upon hearing that news(which I found out later to be a total lie and hence broke up with her) and the last one got pregnant following her friends around to catch fun with older men, just to belong. I advised her to keep the child and I was even ready to take responsibility for the child but one thing led to another, her bad character made her fell out with my mother and that was the end. I don't want a woman who can't really respect my mother.

I arrived at a conclusion that the genesis of this relationship pandemic should be blamed on bad parenting, the Nigerian society for copying and adopting every bad attributes from the western world in the name of cultural development. Once upon a time, girls were trained and prepared to become good wives and future Mothers. Nowadays,home training for females are now left to social media and bitter feminists who believe a woman must be given total freedom to do whatever she wants as the society watches on.

Modifed

Listen up people who are quoting me

In France, in a divorce case, if any one of the parties is discovered hiding any income from the other party, the offended party can request a new divorce trial, and the party that his hiding the income better cough it up.

So, Hakimi, if he did what you are praising him for , is in a world of potential trobule.

Divorce proceedings run on people fully disclosing their money in its entirety. If any one of the parties is discovered hiding money, the proccedings can start again.


.

You're bluffing, Hakimi wasn't hiding any money, he has legally given it out already to someone who happens to be his mother and he can't take it back! It's equivalent to giving away all your wealth to charity, you will no longer be In control of it anymore but the charity organisation, you're simply now a patron or matron. What they do with the money is no longer your business.

Where the France law applies is when you are hiding wealth away somewhere and it's in your name.

So, let us quietly praise Hakimi.

One more thing...
We don't hate women, we have goddesses in form of our mothers(like Hakimi's) and our sisters. Some of us have lovely daughters too. And they are not like Hakimi's ex wife the gold digger.

princely4ever:
So you prefer long epistles to executive summaries?

I can tell your personality type from afar sir

You seem to have a very bad character and you're most probably a very bad person too if this is how you address people.

What has @princely4ever done wrong by asking you to tell the complete story or do you think Nairalanders are dim-witted people who make decisions based on half and half half-baked stories cooked up to discredit one party over the other? Get some common sense abeg.

Children becoming different from their parents isn't uncommon. According to science, despite having the DNA of both parents coupled with their traits and feature characteristics, around 200 from each parents, making 400, they also have their own unique 400 genetic framework characteristics TOTALLY unrelated to either of both parents. Talking about the uniqueness of every living being on earth? You got it.

Corona22:
I supported Peter Obi because I wanted a breathe of fresh air , because Tinubu is obviously too old and physically unfit to withstand the rigors of being president. I’m not sure he can steer us in the right path in this ever evolving world as befits a country as great as Nigeria. He obviously belongs to an older generation and he doesn’t seem to have the capabilities to “converse” ( for the lack of a befitting word )with other world leaders of the world. That is my personal opinion that I’m entitled to, my constitutional right. I did not vote Obi because I’m Igbo or because I’m a Christian.

This third paragraph is the reason why every Nigerian youth and sensible seniors voted against Tinubu and Atiku.

I'm appalled to see the tribalistic demon awakened by the senselessness of some Nigerian elders, who decided to marr the image of a united Nigeria for selfish reasons.

SugarGirl44:
Who dey bleed again?

Can't you read?

For a female leader, wearing a sleeveless shirt to the Chambers is apt stupid! If she dressed in her cultural attire, that's understandable, there are certain dresses for certain occasion.



As for the one who was bleeding during chamber meeting being sent out, she has no defense whatsoever! It's quite irresponsible of her as a leader to blurt out that it happens unexpectedly to people! She doesn't keep track of her body changes? Doesn't she have a consort No extra supplies in her car?


Why are Kenyans disgracing us like this?

derecho:
He should sweep the streets with the broom in his hands.

This is somebody who wasted 8years as governor, controlled the first 4years of Obaseki.

12years !!
Was even.APC National Chairman.


Yet he thinks Edo people are f.ools.

If you think he wasted a whooping 8 years as governor, then you must be a Gen-Z youth who didn't get facts right. Oshiomole was the best thing that happened to Edo state after the looting-spree eight year reign of Chief Lucky Nosawharu Igbinedion! Chief Lucky Igbinedion was a chronic looters who looted everything even to the Ọba's(Ọmọ N'ọba N'edo Ukwa Akpolokpolo, Oba Erediauwa) Federal allocation.

Oshiomole was the one who mapped out almost every street to be tarred completely in Benin City, from Uniben main gate to Ringroad to sapele Road to New Benin to Mission road and even aduwawa! He did all these during his first tenure, it was his second tenure he began to play the godfatherism card and started looting.

He worked before looting, that's manageable for us but not good. I have no problem with him but for him to still be shamelessly campaigning for APC and forgetting that he once stood for the salvation of the masses is my rancour. APC is not good news in Nigeria, let the duapoly of political parties crumble and give a smarter and well prepared man from another party a chance to show patriotism.


Oshiomole has forgotten.

A marriage based on a foundation of such a lie wouldn't last.

Reality wise, the brother would never be able to smile whenever he looks at his wife anymore, he'd develop short temper and go mad at every little thing she does from now on because that feeling of being cheated and taken for a fool will always come to play in his head.

One beautiful thing about "TRUTH" is that it never stay hidden for too long.

One of the primary cameras was made by Samsung though

Imagine writing "èjìká" as elbow! � � � When it means "shoulder"

The writer of the book is point daft! And I'm not sorry to say!

If he needed languages to compare similarities and trace parent language for, he should be comparing Yorụ̀bá and Itsekiri language, that would make more sense and drive home the point that fees paid for his education wasn't in vain!

Yorụ̀bá pelu Igbo lóhùn lóhùn! Haba!

Thumbs up for the nice educative video albeit, it wasn't engaging for my persona as you spent too much time beating around the Bush before caressing the point. And try to work more on presentation and time conservation, it would help your channel grow. Once again, great work, keep it up and keep improving.
