project8: bros u beta repent cos u jus declare a war with God.I dnt care wat u said abt the bible cos u wil account for ur statement sumday bt to conclude that God almighty teams with satan is outrageous blasphemy and indeed an open declaration to rebellion with ur creator.I rest my case

You don't care what I said about the Bible because you've chosen to shut out the truth and believe what you want to believe is the truth.And this is exactly how a lot of religious people feel about their beliefs.They choose to believe what they're told and not what they know is right.
Blasphemy is victimless crime anyways.

iamswizz: cold

Eh @topic,not bad.Will score her 8 out of 10.There's always room for improvement

In my private moments,when I choose to get off Nairaland and other social media and networking sites.I continue my research into the Bible,the Qur'an,God and scrupulosity.And often times one can't help but wonder if God is actually the bad guy and Satan is just the fall guy.The guy that got framed!I'm not a Satan worshiper neither am I holding brief for him.I believe he can plead his own case if need be.I'm just stating the issues as dispassionately as I can

Let us start with the name 'Jehovah'.“The LORD is a man of war: the JEHOVAH is his name.” ~ Bible, Exodus 15:3
In Hebrew, Je or Jeh or Jah means Lord or God [ref].
The suffix “hovah” has the meaning of “ruin, mischief.” (No. 1943 in Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary)
It is another form of ‘havvah’, which is translated “calamity, iniquity, mischief, mischievous (thing), naughtiness, naughty, noisome, perverse thing, substance, very wickedness.” (No. 1942)
Put the two (Je + hovah) together and you get “God of ruin, mischief, calamity, perversion, and wickedness”. And don’t forget ‘noisome‘ – which means it stinks! From the foregoing,one is bound to ask; is Jehovah The God of Evil or Good?

The Wrathful God

“Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.” (Psalms 18:7-11)
Let us consider that these verses describe an angry (wroth) being, spouting smoke and fire, whose secret place consisted of darkness. This devilish entity sounds like a description of Satan, but believe it or not, actually comes from the Bible as describing God.

God rejoices over death
“And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.” (Deuteronomy 28:63)

If the religious mind believes that God represents a loving God, then one must wonder about God, as described in the Bible, who would rejoice to destroy.God appears completely devoid of any wit or humor; a mental state that psychologists have observed in many schizophrenics.

I'm always befuddled at how many times this God orders the killing of innocent people even after the Ten Commandments said “Thou shall not kill”. For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21). God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6). In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-Gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.

The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16)Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. (& Psalms 137:9)Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Wow!Even reading this now makes my blood curdle.Believe me,this is God speaking.
You can add the story of Job here for good measure.

In conclusion,it is safe to assume reading through the Old Testament appears to affirm the observation that God and Satan, if not one and the same, at least work as a team.

But erm..Sir Agbaje,you left out these verses;

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Exodus 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who has made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee....
Numbers 11:33 And while the meat was yet between their teeth,ere it was chewed,the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people,and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague
Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation....

Deutronomy 28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish

Una don come again this new year with una shenanigans. Orisirisi questions wey una dey ask.@op,you do realise your God works in mysterious ways right? Some things are inexplicable to mere mortals like us. For instance why does a loving God let his people suffer? Why does an omnipotent God sit idly by & watch his loved ones blown to pieces whilst praying to him & singing his praises? Why does a Perfect God make imperfect beings & blame them for his mistakes?
These things are beyond the scope of human understanding. So when God says 'do not cross your legs' who exactly are you to question his judgement? Just do it jare & stop asking trivial questions

Moral of the story; Politicians are not above the law. Fix the roads & stick to road signs.

Good move. Dana might just rise above that tragic disaster to become the best airline in the country & beyond

The op talks about mind control & goes on to talk about Christianity. Are you kidding me? The worst (or best form) of mind control ever created. The same White masters you refer to,gave you Christianity to enslave your mind & keep you in a state of permanent trance whilst they looted,plundered & exploited our resources. Told us the African gods were fetish,made us despise them & they eventually stole them & displayed them in their museums. While we kill ourselves in Nigeria & elsewhere in Africa in a bid to determine who has the better imaginary friend.
Meanwhile,your colonial masters & slave drivers have since moved on to more serious matters. So @op,if you want to talk about mind or spiritual control. Start with Christianity & Islam,then we'll take it from there.

Why're they shying away from taking photos in their bikinis? Na Naija way be that

Oh oh! Here we go again. Another one has run amock. Is it not possible for these so called men of God or prophets as they'd want to be known going forward. Come together at the start of the year with their different visions,refine,embellish & polish them. Then publish a uniform list of catastrophes that would befall the nation rather than going in different directions.
I can't even begin to fathom how people take these con men seriously. Is there a year people did not die? Besides,why are these Christians always scared of death when they have made it abundantly clear that this world is not their home & they're only passing through. I've never seen a more scary bunch like these folks.
So what exactly is awesome about your God if we're expecting all these calamities this year alone. With a God who visits the iniquities of the fathers on generations yet unborn who needs the Devil

Imprida: let us wait for the year to end before calling him fake.

No need for that.Read the so called prophecies from 2012 & make your deductions.It's not rocket science,just common sense.Apparently,common sense isn't common around these parts

Sundahjoe: It is u guys that are dumbs or brainwashed. I rechecked his prosphecies for 2012. They came to pass. Check for nigeria, a lot of prominents nigerians died during the year e.g governor. Wat bout natural disaster, flood misplaced people, properties and houses. For international, tell me if civil unrest in some countries did nt end. Wat bout the power that changed hand e.g zambia won the Afcon, chelsea won the champions league, mancity won epl. U guys are fools not the pastor. Mtchew

Oh ma dayz!What did just read Gawd!Laff wan kill me

Billyonaire: Whats the bad belle rant about. I prolly love Lagos and am more Lagosian than you cos I own stakes in Lagos and will love Lagos to advance. If Lagos advances, my stakes rake in profit than presently. Point of correction, I am being unbiased, the OP was.

Lighten up bro,na joke abeg...chill

This is the year of A New Thing
Prophecies for 2012

For Individuals:

1. He said many considered to be absolutely barren will be fruitful.Good

2. He said family histories will be rewritten, including an end to premature death.
[/b]Wow!God has spoken
3.[b] He said desperate prayers will get quick reply this year.Millions are still waiting for answers to their prayers in spite of being faithful with their tithes,seed sowing,financial covenants & breakthrough whatever

4. He said some will experience massive transfer of wealth from the wicked to the just.(Really?)

For Nigeria:

1. God says He has surprises both for His own and for the enemies of the church.(Didn't happen)

2. He said before this year ends, it will be said of Nigeria; all is well that ends well.(Did not happen)

3, He said we are to pray more for prominent Nigerians, so that those who see this year may see the next.(Azazi,Yakowa,Professor Sam Aluko,DIG Haruna John,Levi Ajunouma alongside 162 others,Mathew Mbu...feel free to insert yours here)

International:

1. Daddy says there will be a lot of power transfer .From who to whom?From where to where?

3. He said we are to pray against earth quakes of record magnitude, tsunamis of record proportion and massive hurricanes. if we pray they will be subdued.I hear you

4. The civil unrest that started last year, will begin to end this year.Yeah right,cool story

Can someone please tell me which of these prophecies from last year came to pass?These men simply take Nigerians for a ride because they know they can.

Someone would soon come here to advise everyone to pray harder and fast longer for the Governor's quick recovery.When his absence has continued to be shrouded in secrecy and all this talk about vacation abi na sabbatical sef

martcrown: Its so unfortunate that nairaland is full of insolent, supercilious nincompoop, with empty brain babbling... I wonder where the moderators...
For crying out loud, must you react rudely to post on nairaland?
Its hightime Seun Osewa deleted the virus on this forum....Respect an anointed and God will have mercy on you.
Gracias...

So because we refuse to believe some ambiguous,equivocal & dodgy predictions from a con man you're screaming for mods & admin? You probably think we're all brainwashed zombies like you and your ilk.In which world is 'this year will be better than last year'anything remotely called a prophecy? Maybe in your dream 'Daddy Land' where Daddy GO is God supreme.

You guys should wait for the 'Jesus Crew'to arrive and tell you how this is Ungodly and unbiblical. Accept Christ or forever perish in hell. If they haven't arrived already whilst i was typing

donofdons: Hear me oh mankind .Verily i say unto you, On the 666 or 6666 or 66666 or 666666 or 6666666 night of exhumation, the children of lucifer the bright star shall rise with great powers and the the sons of men shall be attacked enmasse with powers never seen since the time of nimrod.....the queen of the coast shall attack with all the powers...baphomet the goat headed demon together with beelzebul the damned one,shall rise from the dark pits where he lies whispering into the heart of mankind and flooding the children of men with terror. One that day, man will understand the greatness of his lord and on the 12th day, the reign of light would be over and mankind will for ever be in chains untill the second coming of the son of man. This is my revolation to you all. Prepare for the lesser desent of the first horseman from the bible on the 21st december. He would unlease disease but the world would not end yet

Eziokwu Do you realise how r3tarded you sound?

Sam Milla: I wonder why he played for them in the under 20s

And what could possibly be wrong with that? On another note,we all want to be patriotic but the leadership in the country make it really difficult

oyb: rossike 2013

I swear down. But truly Mr President's goofs,gaffes & faux pas can test even the hardiest of men.

maclatunji: ^From what you understand? The rubbish you understand is very different from Islam. Thank you for confidently exposing your ignorance and unwillingness to learn.

Ustaz,why was my pix hidden? You keep acting like an ostrich,burying your head in the sand whilst the rest of your body is sticking out. You detest constructive criticism,you can't stand the truth & from your posturing it is so easy to deduce your kind of person. But no surprises there,very typical. Go ahead & do the needful

ROSSIKE: This Jonathan just talks anyhow. He needs to understand he's the president of a country, and thus should not be publicly uttering religious gibberish about ''end times''.

Wow!I never thought i'd see this day. When Rossike summons enough courage to criticise the president. Then it is truly a sign of the end times

The ethnic bigots have smelt blood.They're moving in.It's open season

Well as for me.The start of the year is when I set my targets (not resolutions o! ehen).I take stock of the preceding year to determine if i'm making any progress,stagnating or just oscillating without making any movement. After a thorough analysis,I may decide to restrategise or stay the course.My 2 Naira

What else is new? Isn't this the religion of thieves,crooks & con men? . Mtcheew!

Very typical. Always reacting after the fact. Anyways,better late than never

Alhamdulilah! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar. Vigorously smh for the black race

Emusan: If a building is not structurally sound any more, pulling down is not the best option for a competent builder.

Are you serious?Even to the detriment of the occupants?Or you haven't seen where occupants of a building have been instructed to leave their homes because it has been it has been damaged beyond repairs and has to be demolished.I see you're trying really hard to make an argument of saving a marriage but sometimes a union may have been damaged beyond repair,the only solution would be to pull the plug and go your separate ways before things degenerate any further

Nuzo':
Fashola was trying to pull off a joke with his elite friends in a private ceremony, and that was what the poster was trying to tell us.
But a typical bigoted Nigerian would want to slit his wrist cos he would not stand any comment or joke against Fashola; the demi gos.

Seriously,i've been reading through the comments and wondering what the heck exactly is the back and forth all about?No sense of humour in these parts,everyone's so uptight it's exasperating
