nerilove: Don't start what you can't finish. I agree to what the Pope said. In as much as we have different religion, we all pray to one God. Believe it or not. In these religion, we have so many antagonists who teach people the wrong things. Each religion wasnot set up just the way it is not. Human minds are so corrupt. Lucifer (satan) really dealt with people.
Jesus said He is the only way to God
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[size=13pt] The Pope say's that Muslims, Jews & Buddhists are all Children of God. [/size] This cannot be so because "THE POWER TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS ALONE"
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
SO HOW CAN MOSLEMS, JEWS & BUDDHISTS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.
WHEN IN PARTICULAR ISLAM DENIES JESUS BEING THE SON OF GOD
koran 5:72 - "Unbelievers are those that say:'God is the Messiah, the son of Mary."
Jesus said whoever believes in him is saved. Mark 16:16a He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
AND CRUCIALLY JESUS SAID WHOEVER DENIES JESUS IS CONDEMNED ALREADY. Mark 16:16B but he that believeth not shall be damned.
SO HOW CAN THOSE WHO DENY JESUS BE CHILDREN OF GOD, THE POPE IS PREACHING ANOTHER GOSPEL.
THE BIBLE IS CLEAR IF ANYBODY PREACHES ANOTHER GOSPEL THE PERSON IS TO BE DAMNED.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
ITS SO SERIOUS THAT THEY REPEATED THEMSELVES.
Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
SO ACCORDING TO GOD THE POPE IS ACCURSED, NOT MY WORDS BUT GODS OWN WORDS.
VATICAN NEWS Revealing his prayer intention for January, Pope Francis says he is praying so that “sincere dialogue between men and women of different religions may yield fruits of peace and justice”.
For the first time the Pope’s traditional monthly prayer intention is available on video, thanks to a new initiative launched by the worldwide Apostleship of Prayer.
The video-message is in Spanish, with subtitles in 10 different languages.
It shows Pope Francis together with believers of other religions – Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist - each of whom professes his or her faith and all together declare they believe in love.
You can watch the video above.
“Most of the planet's inhabitants declare themselves believers – says Pope Francis - This should lead to dialogue among religions”.
“Sólo con el diálogo, eliminaremos la intolerancia…” “Only through dialogue – he says – will we be able to eliminate intolerance and discrimination”. Interreligious dialogue is “a necessary condition for world peace”. “We must not cease praying for it or collaborating with those who think differently”.
“Confío en vos para difundir mi petición…” “I hope that you – the Pope says – will spread my prayer request for this month: that sincere dialogue between men and women of different religions may produce the fruits of peace and justice”. There are many people – he continues – “who think and who feel differently. They search for God or meet God in different ways”. “Some declare themselves to be agnostic, they do not know whether God exists. Others say they are atheists”.
“En esta multitud, en este abanico de religiones…” “Within this multitude – Pope Francis concludes – in this wide range of religions and lack of religious, there is one certainty: we are all children of God”.
“I have confidence in your prayers”. (from Vatican Radio)
Everybody shouts "ONE NIGERIA" but what is being seen is something but One Nigeria
Early last Wednesday, Oshodi made the news again, with a bulldozer at work. On orders of governor Akinwunmi Ambode, it rumbled through the Owonifari market,Oshodi, Lagos, crushed and flattened everything on sight within the market. But cries of traders at the market, roared louder than the bulldozer which pulled down the market. “I am finished, I just arrived from China with over N20million goods, they have crushed everything. Where will I start from?”
It was a cacophony of noise, curses, abuses mixed with rage and anger. Even by-standers and onlookers did not spare the authorities, as some of them muted abuses on the Ambode-led government for destroying the market with goods worth over one billion naira. A few others said: Traders in Lagos are stubborn, they will never hear, that is good for them!
Kenneth Madu, a trader in the market told Saturday Vanguard that he had been extremely brutalised as he lost everything he had laboured for in the market.
Battling emotion, Madu stated: “I just stocked my shop with new items I brought in from China a few days before the Christmas holiday. When I heard that they have sealed up the market, I rushed down to see if I can evacuate all my goods from the shop. They denied us access into the market and chose to demolish the market with all our goods. I had more than N20million goods in my own shop. Others had more. All attempt to remove our goods failed. I even offered to give the police N200,000 just to allow me remove my goods, they refused. I have been brutalised and traumatised. This is murder, they have killed us.”
He gazed again at what used to be his small shop that contained his over N20million goods leaned back to clear his over-burdened brain of the confusion and said: “This government is wicked and inhuman.”
Asked whether there was any notice to that effect. He stated that there was no notice of the demolition, “they only came to serve a 21-day quit notice that Isopakodowo in Bolade has been provided. But the 21-day quit notice has not expired. Even where they said we should go at Bolade is uncompleted, small and cannot contain all the traders in this market let alone attract the patronage we receive here,” Madu stated.
Another trader, Mr Sunday Obi said: “I heard the government had sealed up the market while I was at home for Christmas, I quickly rushed down, but I got here on Wednesday. They have demolished and destroyed everything I had in the market. I had over N10million worth of goods. I sell wires and electronics in my shops. This morning I came to see if I could pick up a few things from the rubble, but I saw fire everywhere again. Who set fire on what was left?
“We don’t know. But, it means, there was a deliberate attempt for us not to pick up anything from here. If they (governments) don’t want the Igbos in Lagos, they should come out to tell us. How can they demolished the market without allowing us to remove our goods? It is inhuman,” he said.
Obi stated that over 2000 traders had their goods trapped in the demolished market, with huge loses that run into over a billion naira. “About 2000 traders had different goods in the market. I really can’t estimate what we have lost but a modest estimate will be over a billion naira. At a time when people have spent all what they had to re-stock preparation for business in a new year, it is wicked,” he said.
In 2009, Ambode’s predecessor, Babatunde Fashola, was praised for clearing Oshodi, ridding the areas of miscreants and easing traffic gridlock in the area. Following this development, Ambode who after inauguration said his government will govern with compassion, is perhaps set to conclude the unfinished job BFR started on Oshodi seven years ago.
NakedEve: If we cling to Hausa, we will forever be backward n they will indirectly be murdering us.
If we want to go with Igbo, they will call us Nidi-Awusa n will never see us for what we r---different! We do not feel safe with them because they have not forgiven us since after the war. Igbo find it difficult to forgive, despite sharing same faith with many of us. They will remind us of how we were willing tools in the killing of 3 million of their brethren during the war.
This knowledge is what Hausa uses to tie us down n hold us captive telling us Igbo will never accept us as friends for killing their brothers in the past when we were used by Nigeria because we were in the army. Igbo will not realize that it was Nigerian army against Biafra and not Middle belt against Biafra or North against biafra.
Sincerely we wish to go with Biafra if possible but since we might not stand with Igbo because of in forgiveness, we might finally have to stand alone as MiddleBelt.
But make NO MISTAKE we will never be willing tools again in the hands of Hausa!
Alas there is now a problem though. During this BokoHaram menace, in order to protect our lives, many of us joined the Nigerian army to fight Boko..... If a 2nd war breaks out between Nigeria and Biafra, we r tied down as the govt will still deploy us to fight them. This is so bad and many of us feel bad bout this.... in the end we always end up being tools(?willing) in one way or the other by the govt to fight Igbo.
Dont worry middle belters specially Benue & plateau states we are forgiving people, everybody knows that the biafran war was genocide.
Since the Biafran war we have lived in peace with the middle belters specially Benue & plateau states
Even a famous english authour call Fredrick Forsyth said openly that the Biafran was was genocide against Biafra
habicab: Point of correction sir... you forgot to quote in full.. Surah 46 verse 9 is as follows...
"Say (O Muhammad) I am not a new thing among the messengers (of Allah i.e I am not the first messenger) nor do I know what will be done with me or with you, I only follow that which is revealed to me and I am but a plain Warner."
Prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon Him) was a messenger of God Almighty as was Jesus Christ(Peace be upon Him) but you Christians do claim that Jesus(Peace be upon Him) was a begotten son of God... I'm sure you are not aware that the word "begotten" in the John 3:16 that you quoted was an interpolation which has eventually been thrown out of the bible. If you aren't aware of this, then you should go and make research on the religion you claim to follow. Jesus Christ was only a messenger sent to the people of Isreal but he is NOT GOD and he never claimed divinity.
Bible cannot be regarded as the word of God as a whole, though it contains some word of God despite the numerous interpolations and errors in it. the word "bible" does not even exist in the bible itself.
Jesus Christ did not preach Christianity, in fact he never heard that word. I'm sure you know how that word came to be.
If you don't have the knowledge of the Quran, dont misquote verses to back your evil thoughts. Seek for knowledge and the truth and be guided.
My guy if you notice Christians dont heap peace on Jesus because Jesus gives us peace. Unlike mohammed moslems heap peace on becos he has no peace
John 14 (KJV) 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
In fact Jesus is the Prince of Peace, that means He owns peace.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
And Jesus said that anybody that denies Him is an anti-christ, so mohammed is an anti-christ
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Now that why mohammed said he does not know what will happen to him, because he has no peace not knowing his end.
Sura 46:9 "I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS)."
as you can see Mohammed himself said he is not original, confirming that he simply heard the gosple of Jesus and changed it. MY BROTHER YOU NEED TO FOLLOW JESUS THAT GIVES PEACE INSTEAD OF MOHAMMED YOU TRY TO GIVE PEACE.

WE FEEL DIFFERENT FROM THE YORUBA MAN THAT IS SO TRIBILIST WE DONT LIKE THE HAUSAMAN WHO COMES WITH A PIECE OF PAPER TO SAY HE OWNS WHAT IS IN OUR OWN ANCESTORS LAND!
SO WE WILL WORK WITH THE IBOS THEY ARE HAPPY TO WORK WITH US
[size=14pt] Fellow Nigerians the bane of the south-south pain is the following "WE DONT LIKE THE HAUSAMAN WHO COMES WITH A PIECE OF PAPER TO SAY HE OWNS WHAT IS IN OUR OWN ANCESTORS LAND!"
oboman: Leave the little minded folks to concentrate on tribal issues because that's what they good at.
I'm talking about the grand scheme where we have an orderly and progressive Lagos for all Nigerians, and for us to actualise it, illegal structures must go!
I rather prefer private developers building legal and fit for purpose shops for traders than Lagos tolerating illegal structures.
Nobody dey say everybody is tribalist, but the majority are.
Eledan: You are not ready to leave, if you are, those people will not be presently begging LASG to provide them with another space. They should simply call the bluff of Yorubas and move completely back to their villages.
Dear Eledan it's obvious Nigeria fears us leaving thats why you abuse us like there is no tomorrow.
yet you hate us but wont let us go.
We know you are scared of us leaving.
We know that Nigeria will loose, though the truth be told the south-west will manage but you will miss the South-East & South-South.
If not why is there animonsity towards the talk of us leaving ?
omonnakoda: Eboes always sentimental. It is one Nigeria means you should export everybody to Lagos .Must all Eboes come to Lagos? We cannot deceive ourselves on that issue . Lagos cannot house everybody and maybe we shall have to issue quotas to every state
omonnakoda: It is time to tell Eboes the truth,there are too many of you in Lagos we shall issue quotas for every state in Nigeria

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
ALLAH CANNOT SAVE MOHAMMED LET ALONE MUSLIMS
Sura 46:9 "I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS)."
CHRISTIAN ARE PROMISED HEAVEN UNLIKE MUSLIMS & MOHAMMED
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.
true2god: Muslims can cook up lies to justify mohammed\islam. Muslims said that mohammed 'predicted' the shia-sunni crisis but without any quranic verse or hadith narrations to back-up the claim. As a matter of fact, how will a religion leader predict that there will be bloodsheed among his followers? Mohammed didnt simply forsee this crisis.
And in another way, the shia-sunni crisis is good for we 'kafirs' because muslims will concentrate on killing themselves instead of non-muslims.
On international level, both saudi arabia (sunni leaders) and Iran (shia leaders) are the greatest sponsor of terrorism, madrassas (terrorist breeding ground) and mosque building (allahh's baracks) worldwide. Their fight is a good thing for world peace.
How can mohammed predict anything when he can't even predict what will happen to him when he dies or to muslims either
Sura 46:9 "I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS)."
CHRISTIAN ARE PROMISED HEAVEN
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.
