That's some families for you. Evil and wicked and entitled, their desire is to reap where they have not sown.

How can you compare UK to Nigeria?
Installation of optic fibre has been difficult because of lack of appropriate plan by Nigerian government.

"And people, us!"

budaatum:
Lack of infrastructure, really. UK, for instance, built fibre on telephone in every house, while Nigeria, I hear, never had up to 100k landlines.

Below is what 12k buys, unlimited.

kkins25:
I justbread the damn thread again. Didnt realize many years agi that dear budaatum was also a reader..

Since age 4. I'd have died if I didn't.

Then we have the 'Real Republicans', who are not happy with how Trump came from nowhere had taken over the party will not be voting for him too. These people are the real moneybags.

And greedy Trump is not sharing with them but even disrupting relations through which they made money. They can't be happy!

garetz:
Senate Republicans need to start issuing subpoenas and holding hearings.

Millions of Americans worked to give them power. Outside of approving judges, what have they achieved?

Massive debt, handouts for big companies, and insider trading?

TIME FOR REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT!

You are asking satan to fight devil, lol.

Darn! Almost!

They must really like Singapore.

I wonder if their child went to school there?

Greatzeus:
Bros,I believe they use 4g in London right? We have 4g in Nigeria too,so how come they got this kind of speed there when we get 2-6Mps here in Nigeria on 4g?
Are there different 4g or what? Or did our ISP intentionally reduce the speed or something?
I don't get it at all.

There must be different 4g, though what I posted was broadband/Wi-Fi and not 4g which is often slower.

I've posted my 4g speed and some available WiFi speeds. The large market and fierce competition keeps price down and there's lots of price comparison sites to help customers.

markt:
@budaatum I am officially jealous of that speed, all that for 12k? Na wa o! Naija which way?

I feel you, but do not despair. When we do what nations with that speed has done, we too shall have speeds even faster than they have.

In case he don't understand it in English!

Why should God forgive the most guilty and sinful? If a human judge forgives every convicted criminal would you say the judge is a good and judge?

God is not a human judge!

If God was a human judge he would have burnt or flooded or turned all humans to salt a long time ago, but because God is loving and merciful, despite humans continued sinful nature, God sent his only begotten Son to teach us Godly ways, and though humans crucified him, God has not forsaken us because God is indeed infinitely loving, merciful and wise.

Perhaps its because no one has reported them.

OLAADEGBU:
God is infinitely more just and holy, and He warns that He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.

Yet, God is loving and merciful and constantly forgiving of even the most guilty and sinful.

You should try loving God with all your heart and mind and soul and being, then God will comfort you and you too will fear no more.

Kobojunkie:
This virus was likely a result of man's carelessness. [s]The dead are dead because God appointed for them to die during this time.[/s] Whatever sins they committed, well their own. I don't see what Satan has to do with any of this.

God has nothing to do with this neither, is precisely the point.

If we humans had done that which is Godly, as in, right and proper, this virus would not have killed so many or even none at all, and when this is over we will see the "godly nations", as in, those who did the right and proper things, have fewer deaths per 1000 than those who didn't, and amazingly, the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A21-23&version=KJV]Lord Lord[/url] nations will be at the bottom of the list.

OLAADEGBU:
Time does not forgive sins. If a human judge would not forgive crimes because it was committed in the past how much more a just God?

God is not a "human judge". A human judge does not forgive 70 times 7 times before throwing your guilty ass in jail.

God is a lot more forgiving than humans.

HarunaWest:
But come to think of it, English isnt our problem. Our mindset is. The black man likes to blame everyone except himself for his misfortune.

And English seems to be our new scapegoat!

Maybe we expect foreigners to write books in our langauges or they'd drop down from the sky, because we sure aren't writing in our langauge and its us who don't teach our own children our languages too which I am sure we would do if we valued our languages, but obviously don't enough.

OLAADEGBU:
By your own admission, you have sinned. My question to you is; What does your loving God require of you to do with your sin?

Have sinned. Past tense. God has lovingly shown me the errors of my ways and lovingly taught me to go and sin no more. [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A12-14&version=NIV]God is so loving and merciful[/url] like that.

I'm beginning to think this man is ill.

newdawn2017:
if he keeps allowing her back into his life, na him Sabi. Cutting her off completely is 1 of d fruits she has sown naa lol. Cos he can't keep allowing her to effect further damage on his emotional, & mental well-being.

I hope he finds a way to deal with any damage she may cause because she will keep coming back into his life some way or the other.

OLAADEGBU:
If you say He loves you despite your sins, what does He expect you to do with those sins?

You must have it in your head that I go about committing sin when I don't. That's why I don't fear God like constantly sinful you.

newdawn2017:
Don't Kid urself! retie which knot?? Narcissists can never give closure, they can never validate d pains they caused caused emotionally, mentally & psychologically. They will rather claim d victim. Do u know what it is to loose urself esteem & feel small all d time, do u know what it is to not Know what love & respect re?? Nurturing instincts form a mother is as old as time, every mother has it in them to love unconditionally & consistently carter to, protect & validate d feelings of their child. Except such a parent is a narcissist. D boy owes his toxic b**ch of a mother nothing, it was her choice to be dsexthat made him, it was her choice to keep d pregnancy, it was her responsibility she was doing when nursing him at infancy. What she is sowing with dis boy,she must surely reap. Toxic is toxic. It's even very damaging cos it comes from a trusted loved one as she.

Its precisely that narcissism that would make her keep returning to his life, is my point. And its not his duty to make her reap what she sows.

OLAADEGBU:
Again I ask. Does this love God has for you tolerate your sin?

God does not tolerate any sin. God just loves his creations despite their sins.

Kobojunkie:
Jeremiah whined and panicked too but he clearly understood God's every command to Him.

Manna fell from Heaven in the OT for a period, by the way, but Jesus never said my "daily bread" would fall from Heaven. I am not being vague as I am refering to that which Jesus commanded His followers do as below

You might notice I referred to the same verse.

You said in a response to someone else, "no matter how much I "believed" or "exercised" my faith, nothing changed. Not until, I went back to read about and Obey what Jesus Himself said we ought to do as His followers", and "After I began doing what He commanded, not only did God show REVEAL himself to me, I started to change even without thinking to change myself".

Basically, the Lord was working on you even though you were not conscious of it, so yes, I can see how it seems like manna. However, you appear to disregard the immense work you did in "reading about and obey" and "doing what He commanded", basically, accepting Christ into your life, which you now reap the reward of.

God reveals messages and instructions at an individual level, is what I find. As is written, "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them", each receiving as is required, which does depend on Grace and one's effort too. It is after all a big book, and not many can read from the beginning to the end and seek understanding too.

OLAADEGBU:
Are you saying you have no sin?

Of course I have sin. And yes, God must love me.

Kobojunkie:
You don't have to wail like Jeremiah, but if you do wail, He does not ignore you either!

There's all sorts I guess. I make sure my seeds are good before I sow them. By golly, I even put in effort preparing the soil I sow them in, so I'm unlikely to hinder my requests to God with whining and panicking like the faithless.

Kobojunkie:
Even when He burnt a bush in the Bible, His message was clearly received by those who were willing to hear it. He does not expect to be understood -- those who want to hear Him do so, but those who do not, don't.

I'd say it was heard by those who had done the work that enabled them to hear, and if they had been whining and panicking they would not have understood the message.

Kobojunkie:
I know exactly what daily bread means and I mean exactly what I said. Nope, I no longer work for those things. Something similar to what the disciples, and Christ lived back when He was here on earth.

I'm afraid you are too vague, though it's none of my business so forgive my prying.

Does your manna fall from heaven or is it the result of work you do or have at some time done in the past or that someone does on your behalf?

Kobojunkie:
Ever read up about the life of the "Wailing" Prophet i.e Jeremiah?

Yes I have. I call him the Faithless Prophet Jeremiah. He and the author of the wailing Psalms were my most 'do not be like' people. They sound like the mentally ill. No where does it say one must wail like Jeremiah, so why not have faith like Christ, instead?

Kobojunkie:
Sure, sometimes He may give you instructions but not all the time, in the way you suggest. And His instructions are not necessarily as vague either. When God tells you to do something, You know He did!

I think it depends on the complexity of what one asks God for and how well one is able to comprehend. Sometimes, God burns a bush and expects to be understood, and sometimes our requests are so complex God instructs us bit by bit over many years.

Kobojunkie:
I don't work for my daily bread. Haven't done that in many years now. I do work, now, but still not for my daily bread. At least not yet. I am waiting on Him to tell me what to do next.

You do know that "daily bread" means that which sustains you, as in, roof over your head, food in your belly, clothes on your back, etc. Do you not work for these?

Kobojunkie:
You think our whining and our anxieties stop God from answering prayers? Is that what Jesus said? That God is hindered by our worries and your frustrations?
So what happens in the case of those who suffer from mental illness, yes... those who are adiagnosed as clinically depressed, and/or those who are diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder or Generlized Panic attacks. Yes, I am talking of those some like to call "mad people", Are they doomed to never having their prayers answer because they worry and panic alot?

Yes, "our whining and our anxieties stop God from answering prayers". Whining and anxiety is a symptom of faithlessness. If I were to personify I'd call it the chatter of the devil. It deafens one to the voice of God so one misses God's answer to one's prayers.

If they reason right (you may read that as, accept Christ into their lifes which begins with a reading of the Word, then seeking understanding of the Word followed by an incarnation of the Word within their self so it becomes their flesh), they might stop worrying and panicking and learn to live with their condition, after all, its not cancer nor are they brain damaged, and even that!

Those who have faith know worrying can not add [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A26-34&version=NKJV]one cubit to their stature[/url] so do not whine nor get anxious, because the Lord comforts them already.
