Magnoliaa:
I can never go back to seeing this word for what it actually means. 😭🤣

I was shocked for a minute seeing you and Kobo discussing politics, until I checked again.

Lool.

Well, that's a whole new take on this subject matter.

Dtruthspeaker:
Just like Israel, people are already anti-God, so people were already headed to being atheists whether people talk or not.

Dtruthspeaker:
That is where every person starts from. God is just being good to us in that He even gives us a chance to escape by listening to us.

But if you blow it, it's bye bye.

Kobojunkie:
1. There's no such a thing as self-righteousness where God is concerned. You either are - You meet God's standard -- or you are not. Your churchian ideas of self-righteousness mean absolutely nothing where it comes to God.

2. Pay attention! God said He does not answer the prayers of sinners. Job was not a sinner, and Job was certain that God has answered Him on many occasions before the trial came upon him. For what seemed over 7 months, the same God cared for Job before finally answering him and then bringing even his friends to bow before Him. According to Op, God has never answered his prayers, so how you think it reasonable to compare OP to Job is beyond me..

3. Look, I used to think as you do until I realized that the problem has never really been God but me. Somehow I didn't trust God in my beginning so I made a decision to trust Him and work towards being in compliance with His Law. Things changed after that. Since then I learned that God had in fact been waiting on me to step up to His standard - live my life in continuous submission and obedience of His teachings and commandments, just as He commands,
in order to be set free from slavery to what are my own sin debts. It has been some years now since I have been at this exercise and God answers even more of my requests as time passes.

Am I some of the most successful in the world? Far from it since success in the world is measured in terms of acquisition of wealth and status whereas success in Jesus Christ has to do with abandonment of your worldly possessions - desires, etc.. so when I mentioned the Eunuchs, I did so to express how far one may have to go in order to achieve the Will of God given that Jesus Christ equally said that God gives men permission to do so for the sake of His Kingdom, something that is not available to the married among them. All this, again, is in order to instead obtain treasures in Heaven,which clearly seems the opposite of what you seek for yourself in this.

Kobojunkie:
1. See how silly you are being there. What has being a Eunuch to do with being hellbound?

2. In Jesus Christ, you are expected to abandon everything you have--- your possessions, your family, business, career, reputation, etc., in order to be saved. If what you and OP are instead focused on is acquiring the wealth of the world for yourselves, then you are definitely hiding your frustrations behind the mentions of God.

3. Have you ever actually read and digested the book of Job for yourself? Did you know that Job was able to list all of the good works He had done in obedience to God's Law. OP has not even been able to proclaim himself sin free so why are you thinking to compare him to one righteous as Job?

Carcholce:
What does this mean? Unholy sinners.

Kobojunkie:
1. I don't follow. The 144,000 were righteous men of God in Jesus Christ, men whose prayers were answered by God. What has being most successful to do with this? Or who told you that having God answer your prayers meant you would be of the most successful?

2. Stop deceiving yourself abeg! What OP wants is clearly not God but the world. What you also seem to desire is also not God but the world. And God never promised the world to any man in Jesus Christ. So, you should probably stop hiding your frustrations behind God and focus on upping your game as the rest in the world do.

3. Job was a righteous man of Old, not Jesus Christ, and yes, God was behind His predicament.

Kobojunkie:
1. How did you arrive at your claim that OP is obedient?

2. God declared that He does not answer the prayers of the disobedient aka sinners. Jesus Christ made this abundantly clear in His Gospel as well. So, how did you arrive at this claim of yours that God is the one answering the prayers of those whom you admit live in disobedience of God aka sinners?

3. What people are having their prayers answered by God? The same ones you openly revealed are in fact sinners aka those who live in disobedience of God's commandments and teachings or what? The devil is not a sinner so let's leave Him out of this and focus, shall we? .

4. Oh, I definitely understand what OP is saying. Only you somehow think that in your confusion about God, and the things of God are concerned, you have a better grasp than anyone does. God said He only answers the prayers of those who are not sinners meaning that all the sinners out there do not have their prayers answered by God. They may work towards and achieve their desires by their own will like the unbelievers do but that doesn't mean God did it. Why? Because God said He only answers the prayers of those who are not sinners. It doesn't matter whether you think yourself worse than others or not what matters is He does not answer the prayers of sinners. Simple!

5. I am not making any excuses for God here as instead I am simply asserting what God has made clear of Himself. His Word is everlasting so why you expect that to change is beyond me. He said He does not answer the prayers of sinners but you obviously don't believe that at all since you have continued to assert that God answers even the prayers of your sinful pastors and mogs, and so should also answer the prayers of OP who does not deny being a sinner. All this while completely ignoring God's Truth which which that God does not answer the prayers of sinners.

Kobojunkie:
1. Well, he simply has to keep trying like the rest of the world if he intends to do it all by his own might. There is no way around that for those who are not of God.

2. Those who want God to answer them are expected by God to do as He commands. You sound like you have thoroughly swallowed the deceit of your pastors and mogs who lie to you that, against God, it is indeed possible to live in sin while stil having your prayers answered by God. And I am telling you that contrary to the lies your masters have fed you with, God has never changed His mind regarding His decree that the prayers of sinners -- those who live in disobedience of His commandments and teachings-- are an abomination to Him. He has not changed His mind even though your conmen pastors have filled your heads with lies to cause you to believe that He has.

3. Look, let me give you the low down. The religion of Christianity is an idolatrous system of beliefs set up by men using the name of God to deceive and delude the gullible. It has nothing to do with God or Jesus Christ. What you lot claim to have experienced isn't God or Jesus Christ but the idolatrous fumes your mental have been pumped full of. And as long as you are attached to that system of lies, you are against God aka of sin, and your measure of God is not according to the standard set by God Himself but according to the doctrines and traditions of your pastors and mogs who rule over your lives. God's mandate is a straightforward and simple one. It hasn't changed in more than 2500 years. And He will never bend His mandate and Law for any man.

Have their been those who have been able to, through submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ been able to have their prayers answered by God? Well. We have stories of the disciples along with the 144,000 to go by, and these as I already mentioned, went as far as choosing a life of celibacy in order to see this happen in their lives. So, the question here should instead be if God is really who you want.

Barims:
What do you expect when you are talking to something that only exist in your brain? What do you expect when you talk to ceiling
Start working, don't pray. It's has been shown in studies that it's make things worse as it makes you relax while you wait for nothing to happens

Kobojunkie:
1. God says, "I will only answer your prayers if you abide in me and I in you" meaning only those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience of His teachings and commandments, His Truth, will He give ear to. Those terms haven't changed in almost 2000 years.

2. Clearly, your understanding of sin differs entirely from that expressed in scripture. How can your pastors and mogs who you describe as blatantly sinning against God be described by the same you as living in obedience to God? No be crazy be that?

3. I didn't say anything about grace-- which actually refers to Eternal life--- since what I have instead insisted upon here is the message of Jesus Christ , God's Truth, which emphasizes personal responsibility. Every one who comes to Jesus Christ is responsible for stopping his bad ways, making the decision to no longer disobey/transgress God's Law, resolve his sin debt in order to become pure to then obtain eternal salvation that is Jesus Christ - Daniel 9 vs 24 & John 8 vs 31 - 36.

Mccallistas:
As I dey read this your comment tear drop my eyes.

Kobojunkie:
God never said prayer is the resolution. God stated in clear terms that obedience is the key to overcoming one's sinnee status. You can pray from the day you are born until the day you die and never once receive answers from God because what moves God is not your prayers but you obedience, which is opposite of sin.

jaephoenix:
Whoa. What an analogy. So the more a Christian fights the devil, he suffers, and keeps suffering everyday? But if he chills with the devil, he'll be enjoying?
I love Christians. They are like kids that argue with the first notion that pops up in their mind anywhere

Mccallistas:
Nnaaa... I don't know how to appreciate you.

Now this is the person that understands my plight.

Why must I find it hard? Why?

Did God create me to come here and watch others live their lives.

I'm just existing.

Is it until my parents no longer have strong teeth, will I be able to buy them meat


Why will people always tell me thank you. Why can't I tell them thank you or don't they find me worthy of favour

Chai!

jesusjnr2020:
Nothing is impossible with God.

xynerise:
People speak in tongues today because their pastor told them it is compulsory. "Just say anything that comes from your mouth and God will interpret it for you"


They really don't understand how speaking in tongues works

CaptMarvel:
when a prisoner doesn't struggle to leave his Prison he have peace with his captors and remain a captive, but when he does struggles, troubles ensue, and if he continues victory is certain. Think about it.

Jackanda1:
Your sincerity is zero.
You are just an atheist trying to discredit God.

Mccallistas:
How many times do I have to repent?

How is it my fault that God doesn't want to answer the prayer requests of a little child (His little child).

1Alex:
This I have been saying. Till you want to get married, you will know there are few wives out there.

Op, you are even lucky you are looking for a wife. What of guys who are hopeless about getting married because they have no resources to marry and manage a family.

Yet some Id!ots in their 20's will open their gutter mouth to call their elders chronic bachelors. Make dem no worry e go reach everybody.

shine12:
It's not extraordinary lol,the bird is called a pheasant and very common around villages/rural areas in the UK. I guess what we are not use to is "extraordinary" sha.

habsydiamond:
This is simply mysterious... even the bird appearance looks unique ..... don't be surprised that the same thing this bird did is what Nigerians will do to take PO to the Aso Rock come this election.... Nigeria s aren't fools.. most of us have photographic memories of what all bad politicians have done. Don't be surprised when u see the result o. Cos some people will open their mouth wide like....Ah!!!!

Amumaigwe:
Don't you know that women also abuse minors? Who should really be afraid of who?

Saintmary:
You see, most of these people have nothing going for them, they are insecure, so they need to bring people down in order to feel like humans.


You really don't want to look into their hearts and minds, it's too dark in there.


A 36 year old lady is just approaching her prime sexually and in terms of natural beauty.


The only issue here is that she is carrying way too heavy burden of 4 kids. That will make her look older than her age.


It's so unfortunate because I already sense that she will bow to pressure and add to her burdens, three more people to worry about making seven and she's not even 40 yet.


Why do Nigerian women like suffering?

BigJoe19:
Ok😞😞. It’s just like someone adding a nickname to their name. King is not in their birth certificate…….sigh

BigJoe19:
Their name are not king didn’t you understand? Churchill and Andrea that’s their names.

Saintmary:
Someone told me yesterday that wedding rings are hard to come by for ladies, I had a good laugh, because nothing can be further from the truth.


I wonder if those ladies getting married every Saturday are ghosts




I don't understand why these guys are so desperate to feel special, it's like they just need something to prop up their insecurities.



If the poster can give it a few months, she might just meet someone more suitable.

Chocoleen:
I intend going to the JABI specialist a Nairalander mentioned earlier after election for one more last attempt. I think to is time around I would just ask to be recommended to a Urologist Direct!

Thanks for taking your time to read through and I appreciate the advice and suggestions!
