How was he unlucky? Na me spin am twice like DJ? When Leclerc's engine packed up in Bahrain was it down to Ham's brilliance?

Anybody arguing Hamilton has not been beneficiary of good fortune is not being objective. This is not an indictment on his skills but don't tell me he's not had some good fortune on the way. Not hearing that

I am excited that Jesus is coming to put an and to all evil doers

JeromeBlack:
Buda, truth be told, a lot of your posts give me headache. You write as if you learnt English from a non English speaking country.

You write well but in a very weird way.

LordReed:
What does this one mean?

true2god:
Bro, what you wrote did not make sense. Don't try to make sense out of a nonsense. What you wrote up there is 100% nonsense and your ummah will accept the fact that your wrote nonsense.

Next time when you write, proofread your work and ensure that your audience are well communicated. You write for people to read and understand and not for your personal 'consumption'. I know you are intelligent but learn when people try to point out your limitations: don't be arrogant.

A big triumphant trump

British Parliamentary Democracy

Theresa May went to Queen Elizabeth to tender her resignation.

Queen accepted and asked her who would take over as PM.

Theresa May informed the Queen that her party (conservative party) has elected a new party leader (an MP) who would become the PM. His name is Boris Johnson.

Queen thanked her and sent for Boris Johnson.

Boris Johnson came, Queen asked him to go and form a government. Boris Johnson accepted and instantly became the Prime minister of Great Britain. Subsequently, Boris Johnson announced his cabinet.

The whole process happened under 2 hours. No budget, no expenditure, No swearing-in ceremony. No dancing, no merriment.

Compare the above to the swearing-in ceremony of a Nigerian president.

Swearing-in ceremony in Nigeria takes months to organise. Millions of dollars will be budgeted and pocketed by government officials.

Britain is the fifth richest country in the world, they chose to spend nothing during change of government.

Nigeria has one of the poorest people in the world, they chose to spend millions of dollars during change of government.

Someone said to me that there's something wrong with black Africans. I said NO, after all there's Rwanda.

The problem with Nigeria is that hooligans are in power.

I've been good boss, hope u good also.
Yes , u are right, the book of Corinthians or any other book of the bible for that matter is not simple by any standard. But while we humbly grapple with the Bible's complexity, we are not to loose sight of the fundamentals.
The fundamentals of the scriptures(atleast to the best of my understanding) is God created a good world and made humanity the crown jewel of His creation but through the actions of one man, evil entered into creation and with it came death and corruption. God in His mercy promised that evil won't get the last word and that he would redeem His creation from the power of sin and death. In keeping with this promise, God took on the corrupted flesh, lived a perfect life, showed humanity what it means to be truly human by the way he lived, allowed the weight of sin and death to crush him and by His resurrection, rendered both sin and death powerless. By these acts, God kept his part of the bargain and humanity is now given the choice of either accepting God's grace of redemption or rejecting it and going his own way.

1 Corinthians 15 deals with that last act of the promise. Apparently some factions in the Corinthian church did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. The Greeks did have different views of the afterlife, some believed the soul lived on in Hades, some believed there's nothing after death while others supported the pantheistic believe and did not support the idea of personal immortality. One thing all these beliefs share in common was that they didn't believe in the resurrection of the body.

Paul begins his message by iterating one of the first things he passed on to them: " Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, he was buried and was raised up on the third day according to the scriptures"1 cor 3-4(paraphrase). He made them understand that they didn't just have to take his word that Christ arose from the dead, the risen Christ appeared to over 500 people including the apostles, many of whom were still alive, so it was something they could fact check.
The second part of the chapter deals with the implications of the rejecting the resurrection of the dead. Basically Paul's argument was, if there's no resurrection of the dead, then Christ himself couldn't have been resurrected and if Christ was not risen from the dead then our faith is useless and we are still in our sins.
The last part deals with how the dead are resurrected and what type of body will they come with. This part has sparked debates amongst christains as Paul used imagery and theological language here but one thing most sides of the divide agree on is that the risen body would be incorruptible and immortal. I'm sure there are alot of people here who are more qualified than I am that can break down this section better.

I know I barely scratched the surface here but I hope you can see why the bodily resurrection of Christ was so important to the apostles and the early church. Luke 24:36-42 is just one of the verses that showed Jesus was bodily alive after death on the cross, and u can look up many other instances of this in the gospels and letters. The early church fathers also made sure this teaching was passed down uncorrupted by repeating it in their writings and writing against those who believed otherwise.

Just as an aside if I may: Christianity is one of those religions that cannot be mixed with other worldviews or philosophies, no matter how harmless or noble they seem at face value. Though I applaud your thirst for knowledge and understanding, one has to be careful in one's quest for knowledge because not all knowledge is from God and we have to be careful of the kind of knowledge we consume 1timothy 6:20 is one of such admonitions of many. Christianity is an all-in worldview, it impossible to be a Christian and follower of any other religion.
Right from the time of the apostles, Christianity has always stood against any form of syncretism. We are called to be all-in followers of Christ while respectfully(all humans deserve to be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their beliefs and position) rejecting other worldviews.

I pray your eyes get better speedily..

The Frustration Of The Spirit Of God

But today it's an entirely different story, because the Spirit of God has being moving upon the same Earth, but more or less without the Word of God which was with Him in the beginning for Him to be able to do His job.

So that's the same Spirit of God that's fully present here on Earth which is in a very bad state, similar in a sense to what it was in the beginning while He was here, yet He can't do much about it.

But He is not able to help much and serve His purpose on Earth because He is not given the tools He needs to enable Him do His job.

For the Holy Spirit in spite of all the power at His disposal cannot work alone, but always works with the Word of God, for He needs It to be able to do His job.
