johnydon22:On the contrary, it is truth that reveals the worst form of blindness - ignorance. If the adherents of the multifarious religions in the world have been able to testify to the reality of the claims of their religions, I wouldn't have blamed you for doubting. Now it is clear they blindly put their faith in mere texts without verification while Christianity is the only Faith where God sets out to prove His existence by confirming His Word over and over again through the decades and centuries yet your doubt still clings to you like leech. You have no excuse, Johnny. You have only chosen to remain blind despite seeing the Light. |
johnydon22:Hahahahaha. Yes, a Book did. However, if a book told you something wouldn't it be wise for you to ascertain the truth of its claim, see the results for yourself, so that you get to the point where your confidence in the truth of that Book becomes unshakable? |
johnydon22:What is proof in this context? The egyptians really did a lot of harm when they invented this notion of afterlife because you look out and see people like you who have not finished living this life that they are SURE of, vainfully and greedily clamoring for another, the result is sad.The notion of the afterlife was not invented by and did not spring from the teachings of Egyptians. About spirit and soul ish, am guessing other animals have those tooI'm sure you do. It never goes beyond guessing. |
dalaman:For your information, buddhists have never reported what or who they were before reincarnation No Muslim has ever seen the so-called paradise whether in a vision or through death and resurrection or in dreams. None of them can testify to the 'truth' of the Quaran. Ask any Hindu to provide the proof of their belief, that is, if they have reincarnated into the next realm with the knowledge, partial or full, of their original or previous state of existence to add credibility to their teachings. Where do atheists go when they die? Theirs is even the worst case scenario. They have no scientific evidence of non-existence in death. They're merely making blind conjectures of the state of death in the hope that their 'guess' turn out to be right. Though they discredit the accounts of christians who clinically died and resurrected mysteriously with medical proofs and witnesses to back up their claims, they still find it a herculean task to prove the state of non-existence in death so they are contented to rely on their blind conviction to make themselves feel better. They cannot afford the exploration into the discovery of the unknown as such venture is fatal to their lifestyle of pleasure and their ignorant conviction of the afterlife. |
OgundeleT:The grave is not the final destination of man. It is the beginning of man's endless journey to eternity. |
johnydon22:Johnny, keep deceiving yourself. You have no proof that life ceases entirely in death. I shall believe you atheists when you're able to prove humans have no soul or spirit, otherwise that thing you said up there is = trash * balderdash. |
Otunba6, how long will you keep giving her excuses not to see her? Even if she gets the message don't you think it would even prompt her to see you face to face, to beg you or apologize? You can't avoid confrontation. As for those saying op should forgive and take her back as she 'changed' her ways when he once complained, I suggest you go and study the ways of a chameleon and understand their need to change in different environments. They don't do it for love, they do it for survival. Op, giving her the phone or keeping it is entirely up to you but hey that sister is pure sinister. |
Lol. Tabletgirl, you're really funny. Everyone knows he altered your statement by quoting and editing it. It's a very normal action in social forums, nairaland especially. Like Shalom123 said, let's forget it and move on. |
I'm so so ashamed of Nigeria. If we had stable or constant power supply: we wouldn't have any need for this foreign products to aid sub-standard living, our country wouldn't be a dumping ground for foreign products that would cripple the developing local firms and industries, we wouldn't rely on imports thereby sustaining the productive economy of foreign countries while ours keep falling below expectation, our great unemployment rate which is one of the major reasons for the increase in crime over the years would drastically reduce by more than half since electricity would enable small businesses thrive along with the larger ones, our products would vie with products from developed countries on the international scale, We will make giant strides in the field of science and technological advancement, high cost of living will fall while the standard of living, distinguishing feature of all developed countries, will improve, the value of the naira will rise against other currencies, government internal revenue to fight crime and tackle development projects will increase, a natural by-product of self-employment and the mass springing up of small-scale businesses that rely on electricity to thrive, poverty rate would dry up quickly with stable power supply. I have no time to talk about the foreign investments this would attract and the long term benefits we stand to gain, the improvement in the quality of education it will guarantee, and ultimately how it provides the essential justification of our tenacious grip to the title 'Giant of Africa'. Nigeria has been so long on the road to development but with stable power supply Nigeria will be deemed by the world to have truly arrived. |
GoTV:Mr/Mrs GoTV, it goes without saying that you're not entitled to any vote for the obvious reasons that your sentiments on the subject of discussion will always be clouded by your insatiable business drive for product promotion, consumer persuasion and business growth. On the contrary, the consumers speak from experience and their opinion have considerable weight in the preference of either services as they don't speak to promote the preferred product for financial gain or to persuade others so as to ensure profitable buiness growth. Just plain, honest opinion is what we need. Op may disagree but this is my opinion. I believe Gotv is much better than Startimes except in their Christian content. What I mean is Startimes dedicates a channel to TBN with its host of sub-programmes that are quite inspirational to Christians but I find Gotv's Faith channel extremely dull with a capital E. I try to force myself to watch it but I never succeed. Lacks inspiration. However, I hate Startimes' dedication of many channels to showing Indian movies. I hate Indian movies with every drop of blood in my body. This is why I prefer Gotv with its only Indian channel - Zeeworld. Even much better is the fact that Zeeworld only shows Indian movies or soaps produced in english, not hindi though I never spend time watching them....still Indian content. Just my opinion. You're free to disagree. |
2sex:Hahaha. U don kolo o. Lol. |
Nicklaus:Lol. Some mad people appear normal, that is, until you hear them speak....people like Ojucrook. They try very hard to make sense but can't help speaking ridiculous nonsense. ![]() |
Nicklaus:Lol. U even get time to answer Ojucrook wen get masters degree for No Future Ambition. I hail u. |
The writer proudly calls herself gay and christian, that is, gay christian. What I've learnt from this: [size=20]Never ever underestimate the Devil's power of deception. [/size] |
bdmaidul:[color=indigo]The best binary options broker for USA traders is Nadex. You might want to google that. Any other one is like donating money to the broker; lots of scam brokers. One more thing, visit the link www.nairaland.com/2273489/binary-option-alertz-strategies-season4 if you have further questions. It is the current active thread; this one was buried until you dug it out.[/color] |
2sex:Very true. Wappy has a very big heart for people. That also includes Shalom123, Accentuate, Sunwalk, and every other person who has contributed to the progress of this thread. Kudos to all. |
Apart from what Tunji2003 said, I noticed the guy does not have good understanding of the strategy which explains why he abandoned it after many losing streaks. He got that strategy from nairaland but did not acknowledge the founder - Wappy. The date of the thread shows that he must have gotten it from wappy. |
fyneboi79:We are commanded to love our fellow humans, even our enemies but there is no verse in the Bible where God commanded us to love or forgive demons. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places - Ephesians 6:12. If God called them wickedness in heavenly places, who are you to say otherwise? Jesus said His disciples will heal the sick and cast out demons. Who are you to say otherwise? Are you wiser than God, the One who created them? |
OgundeleT:God knew they would sin but being a just God He created them to give them a chance to serve Him along with those who serve Him faithfully. That's all I know about the reason for creating them. His just nature makes Him create light and darkness, saints and sinners, heaven and hell, good and evil. He does not create one and leave the other. can u prove this with a bible verse?Read Ezekiel 28:13-15 and Psalm 104:4 Why is it neccesary for God to kill b4 he forgive? Cant he forgive without killing anybody or he want to drank blood b4 he can?In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness (Hebrews 9:22). Read also Leviticus 17:11. You will know why Jesus had to sacrifice His life on the cross. what will God derive in burning satan?Angels who rebel against God have no way of atoning for their sins because that would mean regeneration or transformation. Now, as spirits if they were to be regenerated, what state would they change into? Spirits? They're already spirits. The blood of Christ can only work on spirits not in their final state, something made possible by the presence of physical flesh. Once the flesh dies, no regeneration is possible for that man especially if he died in his sins. There is no repentance in the grave. This means no man can repent after death because he is then in his final state. Once found in a state of sin where regeneration is impossible, the person is just like weed or waste that is meant only for the fire. God does not delight in punishing people by sending them to hell but that their sins make forgiveness impossible and punishment inevitable. |
God can never forgive satan or the angels that rebelled against Him. Satan and the angels who sinned against God were originally created perfect, without sin unlike man. They used to dwell in the presence of God. They saw God, knew His laws but deliberately rebelled against Him. Besides, they were created in their complete state so that any sin they committed would attract eternal punishment as there is no way the sin(s) of a spirit can be atoned for by physical blood which is the only atonement for sins. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross to shed His spotless blood for the forgiveness of the sins of man, not angels. Besides, God has already said the fate of Satan is hell fire and He honours His Word above His name. |
OgundeleT:Was expecting someone to ask this question. Will definitely do that. *edit* Done |
menesheh:That, my friend, is where the problem lies. You can never explain the existence of the infinite by using the finite. You cannot explain the concept of forever using the tools of time, space and matter. Your result will lead to more confusion. There are dimensions of reality, dimensions that are not subject to the physical procedures of verification. When they occur the world tags 'mystery' on them. The mystery behind them shows the utter inability of physical procedures to explain them. They exist outside the bounds of time, space and matter and they are still reality. It is either you are ignorant of these mysteries that surround our universe or your definition of reality needs to undergo re-examination. Whichever way, there is reality that time, space and matter cannot explain. Have you heard of the soul and the concept of forever? |
I don't know why this cursed terrorists are never satisfied with drinking the blood of innocents. However, these insurgents/terrorists are so blind to see the big picture. They think they are winning cos all they see is the small picture. Unknown to them, they are reducing their numbers so that eventually they just automatically get rid of themselves from this earth.. "The Only Thing Necessary To Defeat Evil Is That Good Men Do Nothing". This is besides the fact that they condemn themselves to eternity in hell. Double justice. The Big Picture. Eventually, we will witness Bokoharam - the shameful End. |
menesheh:You mean a scientific method to verify the reality of the spiritual realm? |
King James also known as the Wise Fool. He didn't translate the Bible; he was the first to order its translation and he made it possible for the poor to have the Bible. In his time only the rich class and the senior authority in the church were permitted to own the Bible. It was a crime punishable by death for the poor to have the Bible in their possession (I stand to be corrected here). This much I know about him. Who knows where he is today, heaven or hell. No one can judge that by mere actions. |
Yet He subjected man to a period of 'testing'. God created man but He knew that not all men would accept Him. This is why He permitted the devil to try man (James 1:12, Psalms 66:10). Why did God create man? God created man to fellowship with Him, to be close to Him, to be His heirs, to rule and have dominion like Him over everything He has created and yet to create. God created man to have an exalted position on earth and in His kingdom. If God wanted only praises He wouldn't have had any need to create man; the mountains, flowers, fishes of the sea, birds of the air, beasts, insects, clouds, sun, moon, stars, the galaxy, everything that has breath and everything that doesn't all praise Him continually (Psalm 148, Revelation 5:13). Why did God create man on earth? Why didn't He create man in heaven? He placed man on earth and permitted the devil to try man for a very good reason. Man is only on earth to decide who he will spend eternity with. God does not force Himself on anyone. It is up to you to choose Him or choose the devil. However, He lets you know where the devil will spend his eternity so that you don't make the same choice. Sadly, people still choose the devil. God knows the end way before the beginning began to begin. That does not mean He never reacts emotionally to the wrong choices we make; that does not mean He never gets angry or sad or weep since He already knew the outcome. God's nature is so so much different from ours that many people doubt His omniscient nature. It is one thing to know what will happen, it is quite another thing to see it happening which is quite heartbreaking. However, whatever happens He is always in full control. Nothing happens that takes Him by surprise because He has created the solution even before the problem exists, yet He will not force people to accept His solution to their problems. This is all I have to say as regards this issue. if you have anything to ask, feel free to ask. |
Op, your post only goes to prove how your little (our actually) mind cannot fathom the ways of God. Let me correct many wrong notions in your write-up. Angels also have free will just as man has. That's why after Lucifer rebelled along with his angels another set of angels rebelled against God by sleeping with women (Genesis 6:1-4). If angels obeyed God like machines, there wouldn't have been any history of angelic rebellion let alone sin. Bowing to man is not the reason Lucifer rebelled. He coveted the throne and influence of God. He nurtured pride which brought about his fall (Isaiah 14:12-21). God has nature. One of the aspects of His nature is love, another is wisdom, another is might and so on. Qualities of God. However, as important as these qualities of God are His just (Deuteronomy 32:4) and terrible nature (Psalm 47:2). His just nature makes Him create something or someone even when He well knows they will disobey Him and cause havoc and destruction. By creating them He gives the bad a fair chance of existence as He does the good. His terrible nature makes Him the terrible, fearful God He is when He punishes or when in judgment in the afterlife. That just nature of His made Him create Lucifer and the myriads of angels that rebelled against Him. Yes man was created much different from angels. God created angels from light but He made man in His own image, that's to have His characteristics, resemblance, dominion..to resemble Him (Genesis 1:26, Romans 8:17). That's why the Bible calls man gods, a statement confirmed by Jesus Christ in the New Testament (John 10:34, Psalm 82:6). God the Father created or 'gave birth' to His children, gods. Man is much much greater in position and authority than the angels. It's only man that God created to be a little lower than Him (Psalm 8:5). In case you don't know, man will judge the world and angels.....(1 Corinthians 6:2-3)to be contd |
So true. Works if you don't blink. |
The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. Death has a million disguises. What is important is to be ready when it comes. God have mercy on mankind. |
This story is just a headless body. Op should give the true picture (account) of the story before I award it any iota of credibility. For all we know, the husband may even be the victim while she paints him the villain. At worse, this story may be an exercise in imaginative writing. |
Can it buy salvation or ticket to heaven? Can it buy long life? Can it buy good health and peace of mind? Can it buy total cure from sicknesses such as cancer, AIDS, Leukemia, Ebola, etc Can it buy security from sudden death, assassins, armed robbers, cultists, ritualists, herbalists, witches, etc? Can it buy the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Can it buy trustworthy friends who are loyal and faithful to the end? Can it buy a good, dutiful and humble wife who stays with you through the good and the bad or a devoted, caring and faithful husband? Can it buy one of the thousands and thousands of the blessings of God? Which of these exactly can N10,000,000 x N10,000,000[size=3pt]10[/size] afford to buy? Thank you for your offer but I have Jesus who is not only so much more than N10,000,000 but also everything to me as well as the source of those things all the gold and dollars and naira in the world can never afford. ![]() |
Nonsense. Some ladies are just intolerable. Loving her is not enough; now she wants you to love her above your family as if it would sit well with her if her son should shower greater love and affection on a total stranger than her, the mother, the one who has borne all the suffering of making her son the man he is. I will tell her what she wants to hear, "Darling, I love you with all my heart and I love my family with all my heart. If that's not enough for you, there's nothing I can do, but you can either stay knowing I love you with all my heart or quit this relationship if you can't live with the knowledge that I love my family with all my heart." There's no justification in lying to a lady just to marry her. That's undiluted deception stemming from a low self-esteem. Beware of such person that can easily lie to your face to make you feel good...worse than the bite of a venomous snake. |
