Can anybody 'Islamized' Nigeria? The answer is a big fat NO. So what's the fuss about. The Bible does not teach us to be sentimental but to seek the truth and hold on to it but these people in CAN seem not to say the truth most times they release a statement. Nigeria has been a member of this Islamic organization for God's knows how many years now and the country has not been Islamized. So one summit of the organization now will Islamize Nigeria.

I wonder when CAN became Obasanjo's 'spokesbody'. Jonathan attended this same summit in 2012, nothing was wrong with that. These same pastors will mount the pulpit today and preach against double standards. Most of us Christians are been led in the church by wrong people but we find it difficult to speak against them

See sense. 2 like for you!

Nigerians I hail thee this glorious Sunday morning. Can cannot divide us it seems, reading the comments on here. People who should be praying for our leaders are there lighting fire and pouring petrol! And I'm doubting most who commented are Muslims.

Nigeria Nkenu. I salute us! And Jesus is Lord! And Mohammed is a Prophet. And God bless the atheists and the Ogun and Sango & co worshippers too!

ablelin:
See people calling CAN ipobians up there, argumentum ad baculum (using force against facts, attacking the person carrying the truth), when instead of them to address the issues, they resorted to name-calling

What issue? I beg siddon jor!

EASY39:
What is the meaning of CAN? is that the new name for IPOB?

Lol! When people lose sense like they seem to have, statements like yours just make my day. If you'd called them boko haram I might have kissed you!

I'm still fuming so take that while your at it, from this bitch buda!

asalimpo:
u dont need to apologise,i hav no grudge. And it's been long forgottn..

Eureka, asalimpo, I found it! After working out it must have been in response to you. Here's a link
https://www.nairaland.com/5023710/thank-god-finally-don-port/13#76900019

I see now why you wouldn't post a link! Do know that it was after I "ported". And to correct your impression that I might be "sanctimonious", and so you know my opinion of you has not changed, I'll repeat it.

You asalimpo, are very very very stupid!

Now, get the fuq off my thread!

Damn! I have never been so angry on this site in my life! "Correct my ways" my ass! I can't believe I wasted my time on a waste of space like you!

And some idiot decided to ‘pleasure themself in public and attack police’ at Champions League final.

asalimpo:
"correct your ways "...

I doubt I would have had the grounds to say what I said in this thread if I went around doing exactly what I accused this person of doing.

https://www.nairaland.com/4496169/know-name-book-life/2#67526846

Do, if you can, point me to my hypocrisy.

asalimpo:
"correct your ways "... Save me d sanctimonious con. More like curiosity.
Like i said,search your replies to a thread with d title i mentioned or wait a while till i find it. It 's work searching it out

I did search. These were the threads I found https://www.nairaland.com/5056103/thank-god-dont-port-jesus#76279200

https://www.nairaland.com/5023710/thank-god-finally-don-port/1#75742308

And from the second, you'd find I was one of the "porters" so I don't see why I'd be doing what you said I did to a fellow porter.

And yes, it is curiosity. Like I said, I don't do what you alleged I did, even when I was an atheist. And while I'm tempted at the moment, I'll refrain. If you do have the bother though, be welcome. I, would be delighted to see what you alledged because just yesterday, after posting this https://www.nairaland.com/5211738/philosophical-questions-where-did-theism#78902859
A certain shame came over me that I myself might have sounded like the person I responded to sounded. And I vowed to try really hard never to sound that way again.

So if you can be bothered I would sincerely be most grateful.

Textra:
I wish to deactivate my nairaland account but I am afraid if I do, some of my wrong comment, my contact here may be online forever and may be use against me in the future.

No. You will just become a Nobody. Your posts will remain. Even if you change some you can't change where you've been quoted.

The moral of the story so to speak, is, think before you type.

MuttleyLaff:
The wise do everything in its proper time.

Take that! You are not wise!

Sounds to me like they want to see what you been saying so as to know what you think.

Screw you, America! Is what I think!


And if anyone was thinking this was fake news.
Read it on Bloomberg too!

asalimpo:

The thread though was about a former atheist "porting" (her/his words) to christianity.

Link please.
For my own benefit and correction of my ways

pressplay411:
Knowledge with Understanding is Power and Deliverance. That is what produces the Wisdom of God in Man.

Our definition/understanding of Grace determines what it can make out of us.
Grace, like every other identity of God is multifaceted.

-There's a dimension of Grace that is defined as God's Unmerited Favour. Ephesians 2:8
-There's another dimension of Grace that is defined as Access to God's unlimited provisions and supplies. 2 Corinthians 9:8
-There's another dimension of Grace which is defined as the Enablement of God to become like Christ. Titus 2:11-12

Those who only define Grace as Unmerited Favour can easily be misled to think they can continue in sin as Grace abounds. But in the words of Apostle Paul, God Forbid.

Those who define Grace as Access to God's unlimited provisions and supplies tend to be easily misled with the gospel of prosperity (financial, money)

Those who define Grace as Enablement for Christ-likeness more often than not tend to be self-righteous.

But those who define Grace in the Light of all three definitions walk in the Wholeness of the Manifestation of Grace.

Grace truly is the Unmerited Favour of God that gives us Access to the All-sufficiency of God through the blood of Jesus Christ and supplies us with the enablement to be like Christ for the establishment of God's Kingdom and Righteousness.

Grace and Understanding to us all.

Thank you.

Tosinex:
spiritual death

And physical death too as seen by observing nations who truly do God's will, which is not measured by the number praying or shouting "Jesus is Lord" but by whether they love one another and feed the poor et al.

Nations that generally do more of this live longer.

iykbethany:
What do you guys think is our problem?

Our problem is, instead of praying to God to give us the sense, and the knowledge, and the wisdom to “be fruitful and increase in number, and fill the earth and subdue it, and rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground", we Nigerians are praying for manna to fall down from the heaven.

To wit I say, pray harder Nigerian. Manna soon come!

New figures have revealed the UK has 40,300 church buildings compared to just 39,000 pubs.

That doesn’t mean more people are becoming religious, with the change being blamed on the dwindling number of boozers.

Around three pubs are closing every day, meaning more than 11,000 locals have shut down in the last decade – a fall of almost a quarter.

MuttleyLaff:
I very much would like to see the timeline and the frequency of using gifs, in contrast to posts I've uploaded, you this impossible and mean-spirited person.

As if na my money you de take buy credit!

Whatever, muttley. As I shake my head!

LordReed:
The mountain did not smoke and a voice did not trumpet.

The mountain may not smoke, a voice may not trumpet, the mountain might even be a valley and the road may not lead to Damascus even, yet, when light flashes you can't miss it.

When they say, "[url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A1-21&version=ESV]enter[/url] into your mama belle and be born again", they mean "abandon your preconceived ideas".


Here, my Lord, I prayed for you.

MuttleyLaff:
"Awọn ọta, pọ ju frenemies lọ"
Loosely translated means: "Haters seems to be more than those being friendly with one, despite their fundamental dislike"

I'm not your enemy! Stop doing jnr's paranoia.
You are smarter than that!

I'm just pissed off at you for reasons already stated!

Sounds to me like they want to see what you been saying so as to know what you think.

Screw you, America! Is what I think!


And if anyone was thinking this was fake news. Read it on Bloomberg too.

Correctscore18:
See below

No thank you. We don't see crap in this thread!

Ranchhoddas:
I ignore all Muttleylaff's posts and will continue to do so until he responds to TV or concedes defeat.

Me too. Especially when he uses that stupid juvenile gif that only seems to say to me "I am juvenile and have nothing worth reading to say"!

Pity. Such a knowledgeable person, otherwise.

LordReed:
The problem is I went my dear buda and saw nothing. The mountain did not smoke and a voice did not trumpet. Which is why I say I must be blind to the god. Please pray for me dear buda mayhap some kind stranger shall spit on mud and use it to heal my eyes.

Lol my Lord. You might have gone up the wrong mountain like I did many times, and without first visiting the jesustician to get a pair of jesusglasses, a direction to which I include this link, though couched in my own ignorance.

I assure you. In fact, no! Let me not bother to assume to assure you my Lord, since it appears that you already know that when the eye is ready the mud spitter would turn up to spit on mud and rub it in your eye, and you, my Lord, will see.

I cannot, myself, believe that buda prays for and preaches to my Lord!

usermane:
Some verses of Qur'an would be easier to understand if God is not the speaker;

It is not my understanding that Allah directly spoke to the Prophet without the intermediation of the Angel Gabriel. However, I would like to be corrected if I am wrong.

Regardless, we read what has gone through transliteration from tablets, bones, and the wide, flat ends of date palm fronds haven been recited initially by a person who did not know how to until after he had spent time meditating on the name of Allah.

LordReed:
My dearest buda, I agree that I am very blind to the god so like the blind men touching an elephant, I cast about for the god. Which is why I ask those who seem to have comprehended the nature of god so that perhaps I may know too and not believe like I used to.

I do not think any one can make you know God my Lord, and asking one is like you not studying for an exam and asking those who have to share their work with you or you not filling you jar with extra oil and asking those who do to give you some of theirs, and let me tell you my Lord, for some odd reason, I just don't see you as one of those who "worship at a distance" or one who "must not come near".

In you, my Lord, do I see one who must and would do as buda does and go up with Moses and Aaron and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel and look on the face of the Lord for yourself, at least going by your, "perhaps I may know too". You are indeed not one to ask for bread and accept stones. You, my Lord, seek and "cast about for the god", as you confess, and I can safely say that those who seek shall find. My only fear is that when you do find, you shall not be disturbed, which is why I pray for you my Lord.

Shepherd00:
I don't think there are people who do it like horses.

Not, "do it like horses" Shepherd! "Scare the horses", as in make horses afraid. It's an English saying.

Shepherd00:
Buda, except the Word of God is not true, but if it is, Homosexuals and other offenders will be Ostracized from the Presence of God forever. What will you do then, fight God in favour of them?

You know buda by now, Shepherd. If God wishes to ostracize anyone, then God would have to get off God's ass and ostracize them God's self or "What the fuq where you thinking creating them that way in the first place, and why haven't you yet turned them into pillars of salt yourself God," buda would go up the mountain and say. When I quote some Jesus Christ in God's ostracizing face, God can explain to me why Jesus did not say "love your neighbours, buda, except the gay one's!"

I think my issue is more about me concerning myself with the forest that blinds my own eyes Shepherd, and not the twig that blinds the eye of a same gender poker. For while I'm minding the twig in their eye does the forest in my own eye not blind me to seeing that my ostracizing another is not what Christ would have me do?

Shepherd00:
And, If you a Christian brethren quotes scriptures showing me that fornication is a sin, you are not being hypocritical, you are helping me.

It is for this reason alone that I'm interested. He might perchance be right and give me too the ammunition to fight those who ostracize in the name of the Lord.

Shepherd00:
That is a society that doesn't care what God thinks. By all means they try to kick God out of their lives, lol. Like i said, except the Word of God is not true.

Yet, everywhere I look I see God has blessed them, and I don't just mean infrastructure wise, for even in their hearts they love more than we Nigerians do. They even live longer than us for Christ sake! If this is what a "society that doesn't care what God thinks" looks like, then I, in all honesty, would rather live in such a society than in Nigeria that does, I tell you.

Shepherd00:
Is she gay?

No, Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London is not gay but when she was asked about LGBT people her response was, “Nobody is outside the love of God.”

One cannot be in a position of authority here if one ostracizes people because they have sex with consenting same gender people. You cannot refuse to hire gay people, and if I go on the street talking like you do I'd end up in jail!

The bit you said is irrelevant was irrelevant, I just did not wish to not give you all the information about the program I mentioned.

Abini2012:
Yes. The lady explained it to me. Also said legally, I can work for 3mths without it.
I'll read up on it especially as regards the refund . Thank you

Sneaky. I knew the "refund" would pique your interest.

Shepherd00:
Weak as in, you're tired, or weak as in you're fed up?

Lol, Shepherd. You know I never tire nor get fed up.

Weak as in, I do not have the strength.

jcross19:
now in revelation 12 vs 4 says with his tail he DRAGGED a third of the stars out of sky and THREW them down to the earth. now look at this two words dragged and threw are in past tense meaning the event have taken place in the past. now the word "his tail" mean he 'deceived' , stars in the sentence mean the host of heavens, mighty of heavenly beings.

I would think that "his tail", and "stars" in the sentence, and the "host of heavens" and the "mighty of heavenly beings", referred to the sinning angels who were "destroyed", and not in any way a destruction of the earth or the universe, which when God created them, were good, according to Genesis 1.

I guess I'm imagining the supposedly "ruined" whatever it was some claimed was ruined was not very dissimilar to the current earth and universe, at least in magnitude, and I just can't see anything to make me think God would get so furious as to slam Jupiter, Saturn and all the other planets and stars in to earth to ruin it in some silly infantile rage.

asalimpo:
though i was mistaken but i remember you being a foul mouthed atheistic b*tch . when did you catch religion?

You remember? The atheistic bit, I own, but personally speaking, " b*tch " was never my style, even when I was an atheist, and I so dislike being blasphemed against or not repenting when I have erred.

It would please me therefore, asalimpo, if you point me to where buda was a "foul mouthed b*tch" so that I can confess and repent.

Maximus69:
Jesus never requested 100% from any sinful human otherwise none of his Apostles can meet up with that. But all he is asking is that you do all within your ability to OBEY what you learnt from him! Mark 12:28-31
If you fail in any aspect, are you willing to make needed adjustment when someone remind you? Galatians 2:11-14

Like I said, "wretched failure me despite all my hard work", and Jesus telling me in his blood shed for me upon a cross. Which is why, by God's Grace, despite all my very hard work trying and failing and "people telling me", that Jesus loves me regardless just the way the I am, and for which I am so grateful.

This piece was about increasing ones ability to understand better by the way. For while one might think one is justified by God, it remains the case that one could be [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+13%3A22-30&version=NIV]told[/url], "I don’t know you or where you come from" and be left weeping and gnashing teeth.
