Ihedinobi3:
What could I mean other than that God is not bound by an election that He didn't sanction, just because the eleven were involved and because they prayed before concluding it? How on Earth can anyone read what I wrote and interpret it in the manner that you just did?

What you wrote is very clear for everyone to read Ihe, please. How do apostles give God options to pick from?

CotenantNIG:
Leave Home by 4:30-5:00am: i remember going to the Canadian embassy around 4am, believe me i saw people going to work around 4 in Lagos. the funny things is you would find buses around this time going to your work location or private cars. be careful when entering public transport by this time of the day, it can be very dangerous.

One hour be at work and get two hour sleep in the car park

Pity is, for the gain going home, you got to leave at 7pm after all the traffic has died down

eWyse:
Yes, although the secondary arm of the school was not instituted until 1865

Typical CMS! Always boasting about age!

MuttleyLaff:
I stand by my earlier comment, that, it is always the case like that and not unusual to drop the ball, then after, expect and/or leave God, to pick it up and kick the ball in goal for us.

Honestly? I think you just post plenty word thinking it would beffudle the mind and one wouldn't note you are saying nonsense when the truth is you are saying nonsense to hide the truth from yourself!

How, mutt, does the above mean, "giving the Lord Almighty a choice"?

Note Ihe sliding away from his claim that God chooses between options given to God by apostles!

Ihedinobi3:
The Lord does as He pleases. And He did in this case. He chose His Own man at the time that He intended, and a prior election was not binding upon His Own Sovereign Choice.

MuttleyLaff:
Yep, "... gave God two options ..." It is always the case like that and not unusual to then after, expect and/or leave God, to pick up and fix the pieces, lol. They say God is bad, God is wicked, God is cruel, God is inconsiderate, God is careless, when all God ever does is Good. This sentiment is perfectly encapsulated in Jeremiah 29:11, that says: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end".

Some yeye apostles are telling God Almighty to choose out of two options?

Words must blind you!

Ihedinobi3:
That is, they gave God two options and told Him to pick one. There is nothing in there that even looks like a request for counsel. What if God didn't want any of the two that they chose? What then?

Listen to yourself, ihe. "They gave God two options"!

Even if its true, that is what is written in your own Bible, don't you have enough sense to consider that you might have been reading a bad copy if you can't at least humble yourself and seek understanding?

Thegamingorca:
There is no significant offensive as well...and the fact that Schiff refuses to let even unrecognized republican congress members speak will be the democrats undoing.
Every witness deyve brought so far had 4th hand information.

This is the president of the United States and you are charging for bribery lol what happened to the extortion or quidproquo

When that came up I was just confused how, when? It wasn't until Schiff said dey will now build a new case around witness intimidation that I realized the donkeys have nothing infact dey are grasping at straws.

Look if this hearing remains like this and sondlsnd and vulkner don't squeal then I'm sorry.

This is the Potus and he ain't going nowhere

It's beautiful! We being schooled about Power.

babaearly1:
I've noticed this has been republican talking points so far

Basement
Whistleblower
Deep state
Obama
Steele Dossier
Hunter Biden
Fourth Hand
Naked Pictures of Trump

... and not even one substance to push back against the testimonies so far

What a shame non of them can actually put up a strong objective defense for trump

It might be hard, if not almost impossible to "push back" with "objective defense" that doesn't exist.

Trump, as usual, shoots with an air gun!.

fk001:
Pls I need answers.

I have never use my waec certificate because I have 2 deficiencies on it, so I have been using my NECO from different seating all this while.

NB

The Neco that I am using, I reseated it the following year after my secondary school graduation in an entirely different school. I didn't even bother to collect my WAEC original certificate from the school I graduated from.


Should I be worried?

Would they require my WAEC certificate even with the deficiency in the future?

I need answers pls

Don't collect certificate only if you failed and don't want it known.

Op, have you got a thread where you defined what devil is? Link please! While I wait, I'd find it absurd to worship God because of the devil. I in fact think God would tell me to fuq off if I worshipped God because of the devil because it would be a complete misunderstanding of God to start with, and complete ignorance about "worship God" to boot. But then, you did say "believe", and what else would believers do but tremble in fear!

Those who truly worship God don't worship God because of what they fear but because of the rewards!

Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and govern it and reign over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and all the animals that scurry along the ground, and you will be blessed.

"Be blessed" is the 'reward'.

dominique:
As much as I'm for kids taking care of parents when they're grown, I think this is a very ridiculous law. These children didn't ask to be born, you CHOSE to birth them so why compel them to take care of you in old age? The law makers should be compelling people to set up retirement account instead.

Instead of selling their cows to educate their children who if they don't educate it's a crime?

Lucasbalo:
Couldn't agree more with you. My wife and I are gun owners and very responsible at it with our FOIC ( Firearms Owner Identification Card ). Own a Glock and Wifey own Smith and Welson. Been owning one over 20 years and i go to the shooting range once in a while. The only time i shot my Glock was the day my wife gave birth to Jnr after three girls and i came from the hospital, went into my backyard and empty the fifteen rounds of bullets in celebration. The problem is people not responsible. I always have my gun in my glove compartment sometimes because I live in a Concealed and Carry State and i will be damned if I can't defend myself or my family. Sometimes, I even have my gun on me without exposing it depending on the neighborhood I go to. 2nd Amendment is in America to stay but there's need for modification which the NRA and Republicons will never support.

Wtf! Lol! Where the fuq do you live or go to that would require you to point a gun at a person and shoot!? Just the thought of owning one unless I live in the sticks where there's no one to shoot makes me shudder!

I can't imagine anywhere like that in Europe, or Naija sef!

Blakjewelry:
before i dive deep into science, study Buddhism, Hinduism and history too

As Jesus is written to have said, "one must not live by bread alone or one would be malnourished". Though not in those words exactly.

Suspectzero:
This is a very weird response. I'll just leave it at that.

buda is guilty.

Ihedinobi3:
Hello.

Why then does the Bible say the following?

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
(KJV) Ecclesiastes 3:14

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
(KJV) Revelation 14:9-11

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever...14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
(KJV) Revelation 20:10, 14-15

Damn! I am definitely not "one of them" ihe!
Imagine being "one of them" who believes the stuff you quote above and claim the Bible said when the truth is you read it in the Bible and are equating your own lack of understanding for the Word of God! Seriously, I'd quote Exodus 20:4 at you, but I am certain you'd believe images are physical!

Please know that I am going to be responding to you from now on, not for your benefit, but because it is my opinion that your own understanding must not be the only.

Blakjewelry:
no true deep thinker will remain theist, also if you have study the history of the world and you have romance science enough i doubt you can ever remain the same

Funny. And like, true. Except I introduce buda. Deep thinks, studied some history, and couldn't remain an atheist.

I'm just talking out loud here though. One never remains the same!

Suspectzero:
Just like i said before, you've never lived in a foreign land. You only imagine what it would be like. You have a theoretical idea of what its like but i can assure you it doesn't bind with the reality. No amount of loving people would necessarily 'make' them love or respect you back.

OP is making the best of China because it is still far better for him there than the shit hole that is Nigeria. What i'm telling him (and what he obviously is thinking as well) is that although things are better for him in China than Nigeria, he doesn't have to rest on his laurels and can still aim for an even better environment for himself. End.

First, you telling me where I live instead of asking where I live shows you are telling me what you can not possibly know. Second, I'm not the one who born op or told op to go to China in the first place so why would I pressume to be in the position to tell op where to go? And third, if you go through some of my recent posts, you'd see a "lazy fuq", so why would I tell already ambitious op who has been to a place I've only dreamed of visiting and read about so much, to rest on his laurels? Must I be a lazy fuq?

Please let us not fight over this, I beg you. I'm speaking much here because I love this thread, and want it on frontpage, and know people might benefit from going to China. And I want to learn about China from op myself so that maybe one day I too can be like op. My only error is that I speak, and from personal experience. They are faults of mine. And I'm respected for it wherever I go, except amongst weird people and lazy fuqs. We can very easily check though, if you wish. I, will love you. You will experience loving me back because I always reap what I sow.

Just one more thing. Nigeria is not a "shit hole", in my opinion, there's just too many lazy fuqs shi‡ing on Nigeria. If there were fewer lazy fuqs Nigeria will be heaven. But we work at it. Reducing the lazy fuqs, I mean.

digitaltrades:
Since you believe in buhari, may God handle your life and destiny the same way buhari handles nigeria's economy and security. May the lives of your children (born or unborn) represent everything Nigeria currently represents under buhari. Amen.

Learn to believe in yourself and work and you would not be there wailing bubu isn't feeding you.

digitaltrades:
Budaatum, may every difficulty bitterness, agony and pain brought upon Nigerians by buhari presidency be multiplied 100 folds upon you and your family, amen.

The evil that men do live with them.

I think your prayer should be "God, please make me digitaltrades stop being a lazy fuq so that I can stop facing the "difficulty bitterness, agony and pain" that I, digitaltrades, is currently suffering", but I see you're too much of a lazy fuq to pray and work to make you not suffer the "difficulty bitterness, agony and pain" that you suffer.

Suspectzero:
You judge acceptance by how many local women you are able to bleep? It seems you've never lived in a Western/Foreign Country that's why you think that way. It's more than dating local girls or having a job. It's the way the local people treat you and others like you. You will know if you are truly welcome by your everyday interactions with the people and the system.

No, I don't judge acceptance by how many local girls one is able to bleep, though I don't think people who don't accept you will bleep you. I judge the ops acceptance by the ops overall tone which does imply he is accepted. If he wasn't, I expect to hear it in his tone. And to confirm, I asked if he works there, which would only be possible if he was accepted. And to be honest with you, I think his acceptance is due to his own acceptance of others. He reaps only the acceptance that he himself sows, and if he was unacceptable he wouldn't be accepted, I think.

1Sharon:
God isn't all love. He also gets angry, upset, vengeful, jealous, takes rests. This is evidence in the OT.

Not true! There are reports written by people that "God gets angry, upset, vengeful, jealous, takes rests", is closer to the truth, and it is possible that they could have been wrong or not exactly understood God. After all, God's emotions would not be the only thing they wrote that is incorrect, or is it?

Suspectzero:
Dude i like your plan and your evolution as a person too. Move on to a Country whom's culture you can more easily adapt to and the language is also your native Language. You've had your time in China but they'll never truly accept you there so the time to move on will be soon. Good luck.

Seems like they do accept him there. Or how much more accepted does he have to be when women there date him?

1Sharon:
How I view it?? If God says he kills and destroys, how else am I supposed to view and interpret that??

So tell, when you read your Bible, there's bits where God wrote God killed people? Is it not the truth that someone wrote what they claim God did?

I'll give you an example so you can get your head around it.

Why is it written "And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light"? Surely if God wrote it, it ought to read "I, God, said, "Let there be light and there was light"? Or don't you know how English Language works?

Was anyone there to witness God saying whatever God said? And if not, have you ever asked yourself where the author got the narrative you read from?

1Sharon:
Christians feel that God kills people?

I do think the person I quoted in my first post on this thread believes and thinks he is a Christian, though I'd agree if you say he isn't. Would you say the person quoted does not feel, and believe, God kills people? Didn't you yourself claim and provide quotes to show you understand God kills and asks people to kill people?

1Sharon:
Why do you think they love to dismiss the old testament as irrelevant?

Can't say I know any Christians who "love to dismiss the old testament". What I do think is that you read it wrong. You can't even seem to understand how it came to be written for instance, which is fundamental to its understanding.

1Sharon:
Only 3 out of all the 10 can apply to most countries. You mean to say most countries have a law against disrespecting your parents?

So most countries have a law to keep the sabbath? Isn't the word sabbath subjective? Isnt the word holy subjective?

I'm sure most societies would rather you respect your parents. But I guess I haven't checked your neck of the woods so let me ask, does your society not teach you to respect your parents? Does your society not have a rest day too? Or is it their status as laws that you dispute?

That said, yes, "most". Respect your parents! Rest! Don't kill; don't steal; don't tell lies; don't cheat on your partner; don't be envious of what others have, be it their partner or their possession. 6 out of ten is "most" by my reckoning, and while no one would imprison you for not resting, for instance, I'm sure you'd agree that not resting and disrespecting your parents might present you with dire consequences.

By the way, those who give you the new testament alone are showing you compassion. I'm sure you'd be daunted by the size of the over a thousand page Bible, and even if you aren't daunted, you are showing a vast misunderstanding of it. "Believe", for instance, you say, and not "understand". I'm certain that if you read a Physics textbook and believe it you'd never be a Physicist. Besides, one must save cost too. There's after all no point giving you a book that is way to far above your level of comprehension to start with. It's why you are given what to believe, unfortunately, I say, though, rightly too. The hope is you'd read it and ask questions then get a copy of the rest of it and read it and ask more questions and then seek to understand. After all, it is rightly written in it that you should not live by the bread of belief alone, but by every word God wrote. Though, I must say that I don't quite think you know what the words in it might mean since you are at the trembling level of thinking it is for believing instead of understanding.

Your "trash", and "bye" and skirt reference is duly noted. Some things are beyond the level of some.

1Sharon:
So you don't think the bible Is from God?

What do you mean by "from God"?

1Sharon:
What's your religion?

You mean, "which box should you pigeonhole me in?"

The answer is, none. "One does not live by bread alone least one become malnourished", as Jesus is written to have said and as understood by me.

CTPlayer:
Whenever you say all Germans (or all Italians or all Poles blah blah blah) are this or that you lose all credibility.

Nothing screams, "I'm a dumb ass" more. Its like some claim all Nigerians are crooks until you ask about dem mama and papa.

But then, this is the thread for ignorance, I find, where sentiment trumps (no, not him!), reality and the truth.

Bratking:
stick to your telemundo bros. it's not a must to watch a show too intelligent for your dead brain. am sure you never pass jamb or waec sef. mtchew.

I was about to say!

Just finished watching Mayan M.C. Season 2. The finale was overhyped, but I feel they were setting up for S3. Anyone seen Sons of Anarchy it spun off from? Any good?

I would if I were an atheist. Why give bigots the joy of killing me?

You all should read [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silence_%28novel%29?wprov=sfla1]Silence (沈黙 Chinmoku) by Shūsaku Endō[/url], when you get the chance.

Martin Scorsese adapted it for big screen apparently.

1Sharon:
Lol tell that to Budatuum, what the hell is he/she on about?

Why do you want to japa?

I'm surprised you did not ask him why God hasn't japad him if God is responsible for his evil and his good.
