Ihedinobi3:
As for seeking Him first, not quite. If you believe in the Lord Jesus, then you have the Holy Spirit.

Not quite true missjo. Somehow, I do not accept that one will [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13%3A44-46&version=KJV]sell everything they have and purchase the field[/url] they believe one pearl of great price is in. But, do not take buda's word for it because "buda is not one of him".

The [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A19&version=KJV]devil also believes[/url], you see, but no one will claim satan has the Holy Spirit, because if satan had the Holy Spirit, satan would most definitely not tremble.

Those who say "Lord Lord" also believe, but it is said that they will gnash their teeth when they are told they are not known, "depart from me, ye that work iniquity" and are cast into outer darkness and into a furnace of fire.

"[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&version=KJV]Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness[/url]", saith the Word of the Almighty Lord God, "and all these things (including the Holy Spirit, understanding, salvation, eternal life, dwelling in the Lord's tabernacle and all other gifts the Lord gives etc) "shall be added unto you".

Smart people only sell all they have and purchase a field they have found one pearl of great price in is what I think, and not one in which they have not yet found the treasure but merely believe the treasure is in.

But do not take buda's word for it.
Remember, "buda is not one of him"!

missjo:
Fortunately, I will take your word for it because indeed the holy ghost is not unto some but unto all.

For the Bible told you so, and not because some pomped up teaching buda taught it.

missjo:
Lol @buda is not one of him

Lol indeed.

LordReed:
He was claiming it as one of the miracles?

You did not see? Did you not wonder what Michelle was on about?

He edited his post before you got here lol.

OLAADEGBU:
You lack the fear of God....

A truer word you have not said. I indeed do not fear God.

They say fear is the beginning of Wisdom, but I chose to understand God instead, as in seek and find favor and a good name in the sight of God and man, instead of cowering in dreaded fear like you do because of your sinful ways. Do you know who also feared God? Those who said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” And he to whom the Lord said, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?” And he of whom it is said [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A19&version=KJV]believes and trembles[/url].

While those who seek and have found are accepted and shepherded by God and fear and want for nothing even when they walk in the valley of the shadow of the dead. They abide in the Lord's tabernacle and dwell in the Lord's holy hill.

I will pray for you deg, that you fear no more and that you trust in God. Because if you do what is right you too will find favour and be accepted by God, but if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door where satan desires to have you deg, but you must rule over it in Christ's name!

LordReed:
So sad that this is what it has come to.

See how op had to change tack after being busted?

Try harder jnr. I'm certain you'd find your miracle before next year begins.

I suggest you quote him next time mich, before he has the opportunity to deactivate his delusion!

tartar9:
For example,viewing OLADEEGBU's argument is a source of suffering to my brain but joy to others.

Me too! Though the suffering is his own and I don't suffer at all myself. I pity him for suffering so much, is more accurate, and just hope and pray he finds a cure. No one deserves to suffer like he does except the devil itself, I suppose.

I'm reserving my opinion on op, as promised.

CanadaOrBust:
Lol all u want. Doesn’t change the FACT the earth IS flat

The earth is indeed flat! Do you know that if you walk far enough you'd get to its edge and fall off into the nothingness surrounding it?

CanadaOrBust:
You can’t get money u never paid

You calling me a liar, or admitting "anything" is, after all, not "possible"?

HappyPagan:
Lichess has correspondence too. And different time settings. If you explore it a little, you'd find it has a whole lot of useful features, and a mobile app too.

I play with the mobile app.

Might look into it. Set up a two or three day move game. We'd probably play much quicker but have more time to consider moves.

johnydon22:
See what I mean? Epistle.

I don't know what is wrong with me, seems like I have typing fatique. Feel so tired to continue typing especially long replies.

I still can't help but open threads that demand I type long epistles but I can't.

Sorry you feel tired converting the content of your mind to words. The loss is entirely mine as I am not yet capable of reading minds. I could try harder and go learn it from one's betters but I doubt I can afford the fees.

Of course, epistle! I got lots to say and many words to say it with. And I don't have the problem you have and of course you and your threads demand it if just as a show of the high regard you are held in. How else could I possibly show I consider and think before responding to you? You want me to post a meme like I would in response to the braindead?

Here then, though it hardly does you justice. And I can't wait till you find your cure!

HappyPagan:
let's play

Good play.

Reminds me why I never play on lichess as one can always win or lose on time pressure. I play day moves on gameknot, and some games last months at 3 days a move. But means I dont have to be stuck on same page.

Does lichess not do that? Then we can stretch it out some.

Maximus69:
Go and read the gospel accounts concerning Jesus that's similar to that, i'm sure the holy spirit will interpret it for you, if you truthfully believe in Jesus (God's only begotten son!)!

He does believe, max, and that is precisely his problem. How can there be merit in emulating the devil's trembling?

His message to a 3 minute dying person is porn! Lol! And I bet you if you asked him the 'Holy Spirit' told him that.

I think this is one Tatime would advise one not to waste time on, and for once, I'm going to ask God to help me take that advise because he is not worth the time!

HappyPagan:
Lichess is a good one. My username is HappyPagan.

You challenge me pls, I'm not so up on how there works.

Username is Orunmila

CanadaOrBust:
I know u r lying because I actually don’t exist. U r chatting with a simulation

I better go get my million dollars back from simulation you!

Simulation Canada! Give me my money or Bust!

CanadaOrBust:
U have it backwards. We’ve been lied to the earth is a globe when in fact it is FLAT. See below

Lol!

johnydon22:
I never seem to understand you at all. You have clever ways of using words that cloud them.

Drooopy tits

Drooopy tits. As in tits that extend way past my belly button and so are longer than a dik. Your's though is special, and I dare not compete, johnydon, though I think you think I do, compete with you, that is, despite my continous pdas to the contrary. I hold you in the highest regard see. Even my Lord does not question like you do as his laziness in seeking kicks in far too soon like he's to afraid to know!

Unlike most on here, you are "question! question! question!", intending to make one think. And then you hit buda who has already been thinking. Makes me feel guilty when I respond to your threads and seem to take them over. But how can I possible not respond to the most thoughtful threads on here? I should perhaps wait a bit and let them develop, so please accept my most profound apologies johnydon. I shall try to resist in future.

Its a Nigerian thing to assume understanding, is what I have found and laugh. The biggest book most have come across is the Holy Bible, but surely readers know how difficult it is to get through such huge books. And then, its not as if we read it properly at all with most having jumped around in it long before they become competent enough to read it from beginning to end without missing a single word along the way. Imagine reading Thing Fall Apart the same way most read their Bible. Could it possibly be understood what 'Things' are and how it is that they 'Fall Apart'? Then imagine someone who badly jumped around from page to page explaining it to non-readers. Then you, my Lord, and most of us argue with such ignorons! I'd likely laugh if the true ignorons were not we unbelievers. If we weren't ignorant we'd likely understand that one believes only because one does not know, and what merit is there in doing what satan does? Is it not written that one should first seek the Kingdom of God? And do you all think it means go looking for some Kingdom place or God thing? Is it not just biblespeak for "Seek to Understand"? It's meant to be within, you know, and is found through Jesus Christ, which is just another way of saying "Found in the Word" (or Logos, if you go Greek). And what else are we all on here but seekers of understanding of the many words we read? Except that words have a way of creating an [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+1%3A12&version=NIV]Apollos - Paul dichtomy[/url]. And what we get to read from Paul himself, a pinch of salt!

Yes, it's why I love here so much. We deal in words, see, that through which all things are created, and through which we exchange understandings. We might not know it now, but sometime in the future our words would have created something. Just no one be surprised when Seun becomes God, the Creator of the Nigerian Thinking Universe!

If anyone does not understand buda please ask buda questions. And if anyone feels like I'm always open to a "one on one debate". But be specific. "Explain" might not always cut it as it does not in anyway show that you are capable of understanding, though I might still oblige, and the explanation just further befuddle as this explanation likely might. Just mind the two boxes of gender and age that buda never gets into and on which I will lie! And do not ever believe a word I say! You got a brain in your own head after all, so use it to think and consider and know!

And p.s. Before anyone accuses the explanation only seems to confuse further, buda is ever so guilty as charged and as already admitted above.

HappyPagan:
With Buda, it is not where he stands that matters. It is what you understand.

People never get this it would seem. We seem to think the crap we make up in our heads and believe matters so much, when in truth, understanding is far more superior. It's why I write as I do, I suppose. You after all cannot believe what you don't understand unless you're the sort who's [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes?wprov=sfla1]emperor's new suit is woven out of invisible silk[/url].

As to where I stand, now that's a funny one. The desire to label and put people in little boxes is just laziness in my opinion. So to make you all work hard I'm not in a box, though people just can't resist trying to put one in one.

You got to wonder why Bible readers would so cherish emulating belief that the devil does and trembles. As for me and my own household, we, serve the Lord instead!

Here's one on little boxes as explained to Martinez.

And here's muttley's compilation putting buda in a box.

HappyPagan:
Registering on that site is a hassle. I've never received an activation email from them. Maybe try another platform?

My ban just got lifted!


I'm reluctant to go anywhere else for my chess since I pay to be on gameknot and have done so for years. But I do keep getting people complain they can't register.

Have you checked your junkmail folder? I hear confirmations may go there for some people. If no luck, suggest elsewhere and I'll register there just for you.

I guess while we're at it We Have Been Lied To The Earth Is Flat And Not A Globe!

budaatum:
Don't mind them! They don't know that the sun rises everyday in Japan, the Land of the rising Sun, where millions of Japanese work through the night piling wood on a fire to make it burn. America knew this was the source of ultimate world power so they dropped atomic bombs on them in an attempt to steal the sun, but they unfortunately failed.

They will try again, in Trump's second term!

CanadaOrBust:
Satire is supposed to spark the reader's critical thinking and not hamper it. Just because something is satire does not mean there are no elements of truth. Anything is possible.
But if it turns out it is true what would be your take on their marriage?

Did you get alert? I just paid an "Anything is possible" million dollars into your bank account!

Red Earth, Red Sky

Based on a true story: 70 year old Paul had a dream in London where his sister, Evelyn, asked him to take her back to Agbor, their town of birth. The next morning he received a call saying his sister had died in Lagos. Paul, a religious man, knew what he had to do.

I think the father should go get some education and pay for better lawyers. What crap defense is this that you can't even pay experts to meet your son?

Younger’s witnesses in the trial, while not having met James, were medical professionals who pointed out the dangers of a “social transition” and the “medical transition” it usually leads to.

They should take the child of him for being irresponsibly negligent if you as me, that child needs protecting, from both parents!

“You’re a boy, right?” Mr. Younger asks his son in the video.

“No,” James responds. “I’m a girl.”

As for Luna and his mother's gender dysphoria (for that's clearly what this is). Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman deceived and divorced, more like (not that that justify ruining her egg donor conceived twin or anything!).

Would someone immune to fakenews and rhetoric update come Thursday please.

Cc Michellekabod2, come see buda condemning woman now o, and let people know buda banned

And the atikulators want to obliterate NNPC and disappear it into their pockets!

I swear to God come next election me too will not sai bubu anymore, and obliterate and atikulate. When we slay the goose that lays our golden oil finish you all can enjoy the bones we drop on the floor after we suck the marrow out of them too because some pdpeople mumu never start yet!

Does anyone know what the "label, satire" means?

It means, "if you believe this, your brain went where your last poo went'!

And last time I checked, this is the Romance section and not the poo room, but please let me know if I am incorrect.

You must be in Naija! Me too look but thought it was Kano I was seeing from Lagos but now that I think of it, it must be snow that I saw but thought it was some sort of mist that covered my eye. It apparently starts in October, but since I lack the super camera op proposed I use take photo, below is one that someone prepared earlier.

jesusjnr:
Lol!

Never knew it was so much hard work to just do nothing but watch.

Maybe we should switch positions so that I get to do so much hard work while doing nothing.

Oh, my dear jnr. Alas, you do work to avoid deactivating while I just need sit and watch you work as time goes pass since I am well assured that I will be here come the assigned time unless that which you claim shall come to pass indeed comes to pass.

But let me not belabor you meanwhile. Please get on with that which concerns you least the appointed time come to pass and you accuse buda of standing in the way and not letting that which you prophesied come to pass. buda wishes you Godspeed in your belaboring in the next 2 months and a week and a few of minutes that thou has left.

Sorry everyone for doing this here. I shall stop derailing and remove further responding on this subject with jnr to some other more appropriate place.

donpedro11:
That has not answered the question above if you're u can't do justice to the verse, pls reqd and pass

I think I answered the question pretty well actually, as well as doing very good justice to your own misunderstanding of the verse and Scripture for that matter, donpedro, but if you are not pleased with my answer perhaps consider taking your own advice and "pls reqd and pass" yourself and leave it to those more capable of understanding my answer and the verse and Scripture too.

Try singing along deg.

Ihedinobi3:
It is indeed true that it is only the Lord that has all the answers, but I think it is important to caution you against the common falsehood that nobody then is qualified to teach the other, that we are all equally capable of discerning the Truth for ourselves.

Missjo, according to the quoted, I am "not one of him" so don't you take my word for it, but it is indeed true that we are all equally capable of discerning the Truth for ourselves.

For Christ the Messiah did not claim he would only "send the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost from the Father in Christ name" unto some alone.

But to all those who seek, indeed shall find and "will it teach all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever Christ has said".

So do not let some make out they can be your saviour for it is the Lord God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit that is One that is the Saviour of humankind and not some pumped up self righteous teacher who thinks he alone has God blessed!

But please, as I said, do not take my word for it, because, according to the quoted, "buda is not one of him"! The Holy Spirit will be thy guide.

Abeg, na lie! And if true, we no want am. We are atikulated and not sai bubu next level!

Abi no be so my obliterated 4+4 nl people?

Aaronsrod:
Only a Satan worshipper does not believe in Adam and Eve.

They are the Mother and Father of us all?

Who created you OP? Did you create yourself??

Don't mind op! Everybody knows op was created by Adam and Eve. Its the reason op's teeth are white like those two in your picture and op's skin is the colour of the mud op was created from.

Never knew you had to be busy doing so much work to avoid deactivation lol.

Me? I'm just avoiding being hit my a meteorite or a bus.

jesusjnr:
Thanks for your consideration Johny, but I'm sorry because i already have my hands full with my one on one "deactivate your moniker" deal with Buda, if undeniable miracles don't take place here in Nairaland before the end of this year.

So that's what I'm focusing on right about now, because should that take place by any chance, that should spice up this religious section more than any one on one debate, don't you think?

Maybe that would be my own way of bringing your wishes for this section to pass.

Thanks and God bless you bro.
