No child is a bastard! They were given birth to the way every other child was given birth to!

Only we humans with warped ideology tells ourselves when a man and wife comes to get to swear an oath and give birth is a legal child!

What makes a child legal? Your warp minds says when a man and woman are bonded in oath with a ring to produce a child its an holy sex but when they have sex together with no laws or oath its an unholy sex!

One or two ways every family have a child out of wedlock! Every child was given birth to same procedure "sex"

I don't think there is a holy or legal sex! Sex is sex!

Hypocrites! Premarital sex is sin, but married sex is not! Is there a different method they arrived at end result (child) at end of the day? No!

The only difference in any form of child "wedlock or not " is the style the parent used during sex!

What will you do if your daughter brings home a child for you before she gets married?
Immorality is immorality!
Sex outside marriage is fornication!
That's God's standard whether you like it or not.
If the whole world and people like you like let them twist the truth till it becomes like normal thing and gets everybody's approval, it won't still change it in the sight of God.
Perversed and adulterous generation!!!

Dunno what to do with this news though,nairaland front page gradually turning to city people magazine!

Am telling you, it's so nauseating, useless and irrelevant topics all over the front page, more like a gossip blog right now.

Mr Seun, what does pushing this immoral and wayward lifestyle of our celebrities to the front page add to our lives? It's your site but for things like this to be constantly pushed to the front page as soon as they happen is really bad. They can remain in the sections they were created but not on the front page.
Well that's the world we live in now, and this young man is what so many youths are aspiring to become. We exalt immorality with impunity these days.
Well.... issorite..... God is watching.

I have never seen a president who travels like this. Can't he delegate someone for all these travels?

If your friend actually knows that his worth and value in comparism to what he earns is nothing to write home about, then he shouldn't settle for less. Let him sit down and talk with his boss or even notify them that he wants to leave on grounds that he is facing challenges from the current job, I can bet you that they will do everything possible to make him stay either by increasing his salary or otherwise. But first, let him be sure that he adds value to the company.
You will only settle for less if you ain't sure of yourself and who is backing you.

Like it is unexpected? Right?

When The buffoon called Jonathan spent all the nation's finances to fund his failed second term aspirations

Nigeria is a mono economy and the oil we depend on is currently almost valueless, so what are the options?

Borrow and use the money judiciously

God bless Buhari

Just listen to yourself, borrow and use the money the money judiciously on what exactly?
Smh

Big bang theory... so people still actually believe in that stuff, that the whole universe came out of nothing?
Dumb to the power of two

OLAJADON:
my questions
1. the word holy spirit is it written in the hebrew bible boldly there i mean not the transcrption.....dont stress yourself it not there.....then how did the word holy spirit come to play.....and dont tell me holy spirit means dis or dar.....if holy spirit is the spirit of god dont you thinl it should be written in the hebrew bible
2. if i remove the front and back cover of ur bible where it is written there can you tell me any other verse or chapter that the word bible is found in the bible
PLEASR DONT BE BIASED

Lol... I can see your level of reasoning.
Your logic in both points is funny to say the least.
Have you ever seen the Hebrew version of the bible in its original scroll and where it didn't mention the holy spirit? What's even the your point about the holy spirit and the Hebrew bible?
The bible is a connotative word used to describe the word of God.

johnydon22:
Hahahahaha so God is begging for our love too? Chai... God is such a tiny cute entity

If you beg someone to love you, will that person really love you back the way you love him or her?

Thanksgiving..... a grateful heart is the medicine to even the worst storms of life. We abound in faith through thanksgiving. The devil understands a Christian who kneels down to pray and brings up his petitions and storms and trials before God in prayer, but the devil is yet to figure out a Christian who despite his predicaments and storms and hopeless situation still gets down on his or her knees, lifts up his or her hands and worships God with a grateful heart in thanksgiving, with the knowledge that God knows all his troubles even before he knelt down to pray, so no need of grappling over them rather he spends those few moments worshiping God for who he is and not for anything else.
Mind you, it dosent come easy, you have discipline yourself to do it but I tell you, the peace and confidence after such prayer is simply awesome.
Happy Sunday.

johnydon22:
Do you think if there is such a thing as an all powerful, all knowing, all good, all perfect entity, it will need your worship or anybody's?

Do you believe that someone who loves you requires to be loved back also?

Ymodulus:
King James was even a Gay. Yet the same Church rejects Gays. Why the pioneer scripture translation is written by a Gay

Sir, King James was never a gay, that accusation was made on him by Weldon almost 25 years after he has died, he wasn't eben alive to defend himself.
Well even if he was, he is not the author of the bible, rather he translated it during his own time from the various languages which it was found then ie Greek, Romans, Hebrew etc into a uniformed language ie English.
Happy Sunday.

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on how many animals?

One - a colt (Mark 11:7; cf Luke 19:3 5). And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
Two - a colt and an ass (Matthew 21:7). They brought the ass and the colt and put their garments on them and he sat thereon.


How did Simon Peter find out that Jesus was the Christ?

By a revelation from heaven (Matthew 16:17)
His brother Andrew told him (John 1:41)


Where did Jesus first meet Simon Peter and Andrew?

By the sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18-22)
On the banks of river Jordan (John 1:42). After that, Jesus decided to go to Galilee (John 1:43)


When Jesus met Jairus was Jairus daughter already dead?

Yes. Matthew 9:18 quotes him as saying, My daughter has just died.
No. Mark 5:23 quotes him as saying, My little daughter is at the point of death.


Did Jesus allow his disciples to keep a staff on their journey?

Yes (Mark 6:
No (Matthew 10:9; Luke 9:3)


Did Herod think that Jesus was John the Baptist?

Yes (Matthew 14:2; Mark 6:16)
No (Luke 9:9)


Did John the Baptist recognize Jesus before his baptism?

Yes (Matthew 3:13-14)
No (John 1:32,33)


Did John the Baptist recognize Jesus after his baptism?

Yes (John 1:32, 33)
No (Matthew 11:2)

What you are doing is really funny, haven't you heard of first person and second person report on the same event?
If you and I went to watch an event or had an experience together, are we going to report it exactly the same way?
The bible dosent have any form of mistake, for it is inspired by God. Any form of perceived mistake or contradiction is simply because you are yet to understand the it, contextually or otherwise, and you don't read the bible just like any other book, without the understanding that the holy spirit gives, it will seem dead to you and confusing.
Happy Sunday

Nice write up Op, I believe we ought to inventive in our ways of telling people about Jesus. People usually put up their defence mechanism once someone comes and starts preaching about repentance and sin to them only, which is good of course but outrightly condemns such a person. We can innovate and still preach the gospel daily as we live. You can print powerful simple gospel quotes about Jesus on the tops you wear for instance and everyone you come across that day will be ministered to even without you opening your mouth, plus many other ways.
God bless us all as we continue to propagate the gospel of Christ here on earth.

Zoharariel:
Grace indeed! Grace to loot our National Treasury aground. We wouldn't be in this economic mess if not for this lunatic & kleptomaniac.

The way some of you reason makes me wonder at times if all is really well with you guys. Which administration in Nigeria since independence have done what GEJ have managed to do in various sectors of the economy?
Which administration has not looted money before??
The whole blame makes it look as if the previous administration was the only corrupt one while others where simply perfect.
Singling out a devil to prosecute in the midst of demons dosent make sense to me and that's exactly what Buhari and his cohorts are doing. Fight against Corruption my foot.
And don't call me a GEJ apologetic, because neither he nor any of our politicians is worth me sticking out my neck for, am just looking at things from a neutral point of view.

Good for him, I wonder if he can also mention God when goes about his wayward and anything goes lifestyle.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked.......

Alikote:
evil doers are not spiritual but a creation of modern society as human evolutionary trends deepen by capitalist society .no woman want to be a prostitute but the capital society make u vulnerable to solicit money (capital)in exchange for sex ...is not witches in village that make u change from a nice baby child to grown up prostitute example people in Germany don't pray to god for jobs as in fast ,pray hold night vigils no what they do is they know how many citizen are graduating and which skill is needed in the german economy and industries for the next decade the universities suit their curriculum in line with this hence there a match of output by the university and the labour market requirement so only a few percentage wouldn't get jobs which will be manage by the state thru unemployment benefits. but in Nigeria no records engineer as cashiers in bank or chemist as admin officers but we must pray pastor must feed on the misery .....must Nigerian pastor will be unemployed in Germany if they used Nigerian preaching formant to preach ....example a Nigeria pastor can preach that u will prosper this year u will own a tokunbo car but he cant use this format in Germany or Holland where jobs are almost guaranteed after school,car loan I available to everyone. so no need of his prayers or fasting

Intelligent analogy but if you think everything that happens in this world is just physical and nothing else happens beyond what the eyes can see, then you are living in Lalaland. Germany has its own kinda problems too, ranging from psychological and emotional problems to health related issues and so on that even the best technologies dosent have an answer to. It's unfortunate that 'some people' have exploited what we are lacking in our society, disguising as 'Men of God' to deceive shallow Christians, but their are still genuine ones. We ain't alone here.

myners007:
They have started again with their white elephant project that will not impact the lives of the masses. What are his plan to earn billions as revenue from local poultry when most food consumed in Nigeria are imported.Governors in Nigeria are the worst managers on e can ever imagine, thats why most of them can not pay the meagre sum of N18,000 as minimum wage. When we were receiving huge revenue from the sales of oil some years back couple with the excess crude revenue, these so called state administrator could not save or even save ahead for the rainy day. Let some body advise this man about the cost implication and opportunity cost of this project before he subjects Anambra indigenes to extreme poverty

I was pushed to ask if you actually read the post before typing this. There is no cost implication from it because the state government only provided the land while the a private investor handles the construction and other logistics. And for your info also, the state is one of the few states that not only paid staff salaries on their own during the financial bailout of other states by the federal government but increased the salaries of civil servants during that same period too. Please be sure of what you put up for others to consume.

So because of fear of being accused by the police, people left a new born baby to cry to death? What a world we are living in. This excuse is the height of cowardice and callousness. How will now change our policemen if we live under the fear of the evil they do? This is exactly the problem we have in this nation, people are willing to keep mute in the face of evil to protect their head!!! Nobody cares about the next person.

born2reign001:
Who is the greatest enemy of a born again
child of God.?
A. Devil
B. Flesh

None..... both work hand in hand. A born again ain't suppose to be thinking about who his enemy is or not, the thought pattern ought to change to how do I live after Christ in his fullness.

Einstein never said such. He became an atheist at the age of 12.

Albert Einstein was never an atheist. I gat my facts, gat yours?

daveP:
you are really doing great. Thumbs up. But just like the father of evolution that was saved on his deathbed(it was hidden cos it would ruin the works and profits the theory would eventually bring), his case might not be diff. We should jst pray it should be years before that.

The funny thing is that most of these atheists know the truth but won't own up to it. I've read their history a lot and that's when I deciphered that it's actually not their fault and all they need is people that will constantly dialogue with them until God reveals himself to them.

frank317:
A lot people have gone through worst, so? Ya they came out good, so? I am good too. Time heals everything,what do u expect?

Not say I'm God killed them. But what exactly is the function of knowing this God? He is absolutely useless and his incompetence in handling the world he created is worrisome, that's if he exists.

Oga, yes you have nothing to say. I have gone through what I have gone through and I have learnt a lot. One thing is sure, there is nothing gainful in believing in a creator... Its just wishful thinking for you guys and its quite worrisome too. How can one live all his life in wish and delusion.

Think about it.... Giving excuse for the creator? Pls stop making him sound dumb.

The function of knowing God is to have a personal relationship with him. God didn't start all the evil in the world today, we did! He warned Adam and Eve but they choose to disobey. The presence of evil is simply the absence of God in anything man does, but he didn't create evil. The issue is that your mind is already with a wrong impression about God sir, and anything that anyone tells you is not just gonna go along with your prejudice. There are so many things about God that I know that if you be open minded, you will see the revelation.
And the idea of you saying that we ought not to defend God and that he should do that, when you see someone abusing your earthly father whom you love so much for instance, will you fold ya hand and say let daddy come and defend himself?

An atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand:

‘You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?’

‘Yes sir,’ the student says.

‘So you believe in God?’

‘Absolutely. ’

‘Is God good?’

‘Sure! God’s good.’

‘Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?’

‘Yes.’

‘Are you good or evil?’

‘The Bible says I’m evil.’

The professor grins knowingly. ‘Aha! The Bible! He considers for a moment. ‘Here’s one for you. Let’s say there’s a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?’

‘Yes sir, I would.’
‘So you’re good…!’
‘I wouldn’t say that.’
‘But why not say that? You’d help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn’t.’
The student does not answer, so the professor continues. ‘He doesn’t, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Can you answer that one?’
The student remains silent. ‘No, you can’t, can you?’ the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax ‘Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?’

‘Er…yes,’ the student says.
‘Is Satan good?’
The student doesn’t hesitate on this one. ‘No.’
‘Then where does Satan come from?’
The student falters. ‘From God’
‘That’s right. God made Satan, didn’t he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?’

‘Yes, sir…’

‘Evil’s everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything, correct?’
‘Yes.’
‘So who created evil?’ The professor continued, ‘If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.’

Again, the student has no answer. ‘Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?’
The student squirms on his feet. ‘Yes.’
‘So who created them?’
The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. ‘Who created them?’ There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. ‘Tell me,’ he continues onto another student. ‘Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?’

The student’s voice betrays him and cracks. ‘Yes, professor, I do.’

The old man stops pacing. ‘Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?’

‘No sir. I’ve never seen Him.’

‘Then tell us if you’ve ever heard your Jesus?’
‘No, sir, I have not…’

‘Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?’

‘No, sir, I’m afraid I haven’t.’

‘Yet you still believe in him?’

‘Yes.’

‘According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn’t exist… What do you say to that, son?’
‘Nothing,’ the student replies… ‘I only have my faith.’
‘Yes, faith,’ the professor repeats. ‘And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence…only faith.’
The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. ‘Professor, is there such thing as heat? ’

‘Yes.’

‘And is there such a thing as cold?’

‘Yes, son, there’s cold too.’

‘No sir, there isn’t.’

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. ‘You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don’t have anything called ‘cold’. We can hit d own to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest –458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, ‘cold’ is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.’

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

‘What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?’

‘Yes,’ the professor replies without hesitation… ‘What is night if it isn’t darkness?’

‘You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? That’s the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?’

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. ‘So what point are you making, young man?’

‘Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.’

The professor’s face cannot hide his surprise this time. ‘Flawed? Can you explain how?’

‘You are working on the premise of duality,’ the student explains… ‘You argue that there is life and then there’s death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but it has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.’

‘Now tell me, professor… Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?’

‘If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.’

‘Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?’

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

‘Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?’

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided. ‘To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.’ The student looks around the room. ‘Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor’s brain?’ The class breaks out into laughter.

‘Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor’s brain, felt the professor’s brain, touched or smelt the professor’s brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir.’ ‘So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?’

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. ‘I guess you’ll have to take them on faith.’

‘Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,’ the student continues. ‘Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?’ Now uncertain, the professor responds, ‘Of course, there is. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.’

To this the student replied, ‘Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.

God did not create evil Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.’

The professor sat down.

The student was Albert Einstein.

One day I will be like debbie
