If you do not believe in JESUS and accept HIM as your LORD & SAVIOR... and be baptized, you remain slave of satan... <This is the absolute truth. Have you not accepted HIM and be baptized yet?
The pharisees lied and are called hypocrites by our LORD!
Do you think I'm a liar and a hypocrite? If yes, why?

I do not know if you are lying or not. What I do know is satan can only control those who do not have Christ in their life, and blaming satan instead of the person is an abrogation of responsibility. Those who have accepted Christ can never be satan's slave.

As to my own personal status, God is my judge so I can't quite understand why you'd tempt me to behave like a certain Pharisee to whom Christ said:

My response to you is, do not tempt buda to commit sin!

I'm not engaging you again.

Don't worry. I'll be engaging you whenever I want to.

How badly Nigeria counts deaths, ogbeni e get anywhere you hear massive death counts being reported across Nigeria? We may not have efficient medical facilities in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, but literally every one now has smartphone and free 10mb from mtn to upload new occurrences on their whatsapp status or nairaland.

So there is absolutely no way such may have occurred without due reportage.

You're very welcome to believe this is true.

illicit:
Well. the way you have been sounding condescending and patronising makes me to conclude that while you may not have any problem with reading, you may have delusions of grandeur

Stick your superior opinion up your nostrils.

Whatever you think about any book is your business, stop quoting me with your deluded rejoinders.

You know you came on here to argue because of my response to you on your inability to see the benefit in learning to write properly, and you have only managed to show the defects in your reading abilities which you never bothered to hone and perfect.

When you've had enough, you'd take your own advice, I'm certain. buda is going nowhere.

flyingpig:
We lack adequate ventilators yet heaven ain't falling. In almost 7months now our death toll hovers around 1,000 which is even an exaggeration. Countries you are thinking of some have hundreds of thousands of deaths and buried thousands in a day at a point.

Perhaps it might make sense to you if you factor in how badly Nigeria counts deaths.

To me it is a discussion but to you it is an argument as u want me to swap my understanding for yours because like u said its inferior to yours.
( Telling me to use my brain and mind the same way u used yours so that I can get the same opinion u got is ridiculous)


I don't speak for the christains as most of them will disagree with some points I mentioned.

I am speaking as someone who has read the Bible as it was written in black and white like any other book.

I never presume my points to be superior to yours and I won't want u to change ur opinion.

My opinion is the opinion of people who will read what was written without any sentiment.

Its your opinion that this is an argument and you are trying to impose that opinion on me who sees this as a discussion. Do know that I do consider my opinion to be superior to your's, which is why I hold on to it instead of abandoning it for your inferior opinion.

There is nothing like "any other book". Books have different levels of complexity and are read and understood or not understood within ones intellectual level, which may be up to the task of actually understanding what is read or not. To claim a religious book with sentiment towards God is written without sentiment just shows you don't really understand its sentiment.

Here is one you may try to test your understanding level.

fabjo:
Thank you,... The interviewer said the question is base on emotional intelligence

The question was based on pure ignorance!

fabjo:
Sales executive oh

Your answer should be whatever your answer was, if they do not like it they should employ the person who gives them the answer they prefer. But if you are desperate for the job, next time say you would follow the directive and advise given by your more experienced boss since you've never been in that position before.

illicit:
So u are d only one using ur brain and mind now.

This is becoming an argument, very uninteresting and provocative.

I think it's time u keep you keep ur opinions to yourself.

Typical proselytizer.

I have read the Bible and my interpretation is mine.

This is a discussion, and we are only having it because you choose to respond to my posts. When you've had enough you will assert your freedom to stop instead of assuming you can tell me what to do with my opinions! Your interpretation is after all your's as you say, though one must wonder why you keep insisting to interpret for Christians.

flyingpig:
How is a global problem our problem Please we are talking about Nigeria here, don't digress to the rest of the world. Nobody included UK in the early part of this discourse.

Nigeria is facing the same pandemic the entire world is facing and is dealing with it the same way the rest of the world is dealing with it, and blaming Northerners is as ignorant as blaming the same action in say UK on Northerners.

flyingpig:
This one is disconnected with Nigeria. Who is chairman of PTF, the team set up by president buhari to navigate the country through this murky waters of covid-19? The chairman of PTF is a northerner and he behaved like a true northerner. He approved the resumption of electioneering processes(it was never even paused in the first place), he also approved resumption of religious activities in mosques and churches, he approved resumption of civil service duties, market activities, transportation activities, et cetera but has continued to shy away from the resumption of academic activities. The mandate of the PTF that makes decisions for our society and polity will end in December, according to President Buhari.

Think home, Mr.

You fail to understand this is a worldwide problem and what the government does affects everyone.

For your information, schools in UK opened this week, but markets and people demonstrating on the streets have been going on all through the lockdown despite government disapproval.

illicit:
understanding is relative.

It's not rocket science. this is a matter of something written so plainly in black and white.

How u chose to understand it is personal to u, and no authority mandates me to abide to your own understanding.

you are beginning to sound like a proselytizer now

Understanding is not relative, illicit. Relative understanding is when you read a simple statement like "thou shalt not kill", and understand it to mean thou shalt kill, and the proper word for such an understanding is ignorance! Those who read their Bible would have learnt of the unrelative understanding when [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+4%3A1-13&version=KJV]Jesus was tempted with a relative understanding on the mountain[/url].

And yes, I am proselytizing that you use your brain and mind but please know that your understanding is entirely up to you. Be responsible for it instead of blaming it on the Bible or on God or buda.

I would say no to the client since I believe I am being interviewed to work for a company that holds its staff to a very high level of intergrity. Unless sleeping with clients is part of the contract I signed up to of course.

Op, were you applying for the ashewo position?

illicit:
I have read the Bible from back to back severally.

Sorry illicit, but I can not believe this to be true. Your level of understanding is not of one who has invested so much effort and time in reading such a huge complex book.

Maximus69:
God created both male and female in his image but the first creature made having the attributes of God is the male, [s]it was later that God formed the female out of the male. Genesis 2:18-25
That's why angels relate better with males than with females! 1Corinthians 11:2-10
So the nature is Masculine though both were still in God's image! [/s]

Not true, Max. The quote above is from Genesis 1:27, and is emphatically clear. The logical conclussion is to wonder if God has a different idea of "both male and female" instead of abandoning what is clearly obvious.

And that bit about "angels relate better with males than with females" is simply because the book you read was written by archaic egocentric men.

illicit:
God doesn't talk to me

He talks to the christains and the Jews of old.

It's all there in their bible

God may have talked to Christians of old but not many Christians can nit claim to have heard God talking to them today. And any Christian who is told to kill would need to question why God would ask them to disobey God's own commandment.

In the quote above is thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not commit adultery, and thou shalt not lie. Would you like to argue that Christians obey these commandments too?

Be honest illicit, you have not read the Bible from 'In the beginning' to the end, and even if you have, you have not questioned your understanding of what you've read and are simply creating beliefs in your head without considering the evidence in front of you.

illicit:
That's going against the Bible.

Did Abraham, , Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David questioned God when told to kill


No

U must obey at least before any complain.

Did God tell you God told Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David to kill?

Obey God is not the same as obeying the Bible.

finnacle2020:
A creation is created in the image of the creator

Which as we read is both male and female.

illicit:
Good christains must not question God.

That's what their bible said

Good Christians will always question their understanding of God or they'll find themselves obeying satan thinking they are obeying God.

illicit:
Any Christan that don't believe that God can tell him to kill like the Israelites were told is an heretic

According to you!

Most sensible people would first require evidence that whatever is telling them to kill is truly God.

flyingpig:
A Northerner is in power, naturally they revere politics but detest education.

Poor Edo State where a Northerner is in power!

Critical evaluation!

Well, its something we can easily determine on a 64 square board.

Chachess6:
Maga is different from MAGA


I think you need to check the meaning of
homophones.

What I need to check is the evidence before me and it is rather obvious to me that trump is a scammer and his followers are being scammed without realising it.

By the way, do you play chess same way as you reason here? I bet you'd get beat very easily with how you reason. https://gameknot.com/#budaatum

illicit:
well, most christians believe it, I don't

I like talking about the forest in my own eyes instead of the twigs in the eyes of others, and I limit my discussions to the forest in the eye of those I'm conversing with instead of the twigs they claim is in the eyes of others. That way, we are both talking about what we ought to know.

Most Christians do not believe God tells them to kill, illicit. You'd find many disagreeing with that point on here and would in fact have difficulty pointing out one Christian who agrees.

You may try though.

OpenYourEyes1:
You are slave of satan if you are sinner and don't have GOD in you. So your master satan, will use you to do his evil works. Saying "away from me satan" in hypocrisy and sin, and without GOD in you, won't save you. You have to be baptized to have power over the evil one.

I'd love a quick reply to this because I have lot of time today.

Only those who have Christ in them say "away with me satan".

And those who claim others are slaves of satan are like the [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+18%3A9-14&version=KJV]Pharisee who thought he was righteous and not like the tax collector[/url].

illicit:
lol talking about books

u don't seem to understand that we are on the same page

I very much doubt we are in the same page in such a big book. In fact, I'm wondering if we are in the same book.

I would never claim God told ancestors to kill anyone even if I read it in the Bible.

AmazonTopaz:
LOL.

An American went to google to search for the meaning of MAGA and got the Nigerian definition for Trump supporters LOL.

They finally worked it out. lol.

budaatum:
They are magas. Very easily fooled.

Xavfra:
Lmaoooooooooo

Somethings are best kept within.....

As you can see, I love intelligent discourse.

Do let me know when you are willing to share what is within.

illicit:
Well God told them


It is written in their book.


So any xtian that claims God told him to kill someone today is not lying.

The same God told their ancestors the same thing

So, you read it in a book and you believe God done it? Do you believe God wrote the Bible too and printed it on a printing press in heaven?

You should kindly stop accusing Christians of the ignorance that you seem to be guilty of!

OLUROCKS:
didn't the same God get angry at Saul for not breaking the 5th commandment

Ignorant people writing what they want ignorant people to believe and here you are just believing like the want you to believe!

I find it amazing that though you might not believe in God you believe what is written in a book.

I'm posting this for a laugh since you got me investigating blenders. Make sure you check out links in the pulldown to see why.
