5 - Punishing those who work on the Sabbath Day

hroughout the Old Testament, the Lord is guilty of inflicting gross punishments for some seemingly petty issues. These punishments seem to be quite barbaric in nature and not on the same level as the sin committed — at least in our day.The Sabbath day is regarded as a holy day and is known as the day of the Lord. These threats are seen in Exodus 31:15 which says, “Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.” Is the Lord really vowing to kill anyone who works on the Sabbath day?

Kobojunkie:
You mean kind of like industrialization happened back in March-April when the government pumped over $1 billion into the economy, abi? Nigeria still has nothing to show for it to date.

You have never been coherent. Maybe as a consequence of hating your parents.

funshint:
Finally Bismark Rewane is getting his recognition. A very brilliant man....no matter what I still believe in this administration. Just some few changes and tweaks have to be made and there will be a complete turnaround.

Ostrich. Dream on.

Why would anyone believe in a government that has wrecked the economy so horribly in one year?

Pure sentiments. You dont love Nigeria. You love Tinubu. From sentiments.

You will believe in Tinubu even if he sells your mother into slavery.

6 - Destroying Sinners with the Sword - (by Rape and Infanticide)

The Old Testament shows the biblical Lord as one with no remorse and a quest for vengeance. The Lord depicts this in Isaiah 13:9–16 which says, ” See, the day of the Lord is coming—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. Whoever is captured will be thrust through. All who are caught will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be looted, and their wives violated.”Some interpret that the Lord is making threats here to sinners who are caught. The passage suggests that the houses of sinners will be looted, and their wives will be raped.

7 - Murdering an Interacial Couple

Another eyebrow-raising passage in the Old Testament is seen in Numbers 25:6–13 when Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron killed an inter-racial couple with a spear. Here’s what the passage says:“Just then one of the Israelites came and brought a Midianite woman into his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the Israelites. When Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he got up and left the congregation. Taking a spear in his hand, he went after the Israelite man into the tent, and pierced the two of them, the Israelite and the woman, through the belly. So, the plague was stopped among the people of Israel. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ‘Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the Israelites by manifesting such zeal among them on my behalf that in my jealousy I did not consume the Israelites. Therefore say, “I hereby grant him my covenant of peace. It shall be for him and for his descendants after him a covenant of perpetual priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the Israelites.’ '”According to the verse, the Lord rewards Phinehas for the murder with perpetual priesthood and praises him for keeping the nation pure. Now, according to the King James version, Phinehas believed he was preventing them from bringing a plague to their people that had already killed 24 thousand people.

8 - Sexual Molestation of Women

In the Old Testament, there’s a verse that could be interpreted as the Lord threatening to punish women sexually if they acted in a way that upset the Lord. In Isaiah 3:16–17 (King James Version) it reads, “Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore, the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.”Several international versions of the Bible have removed the phrase “Lord will discover their secret parts” and replaced it with less embarrassing phrases like “make their scalps bald.” Other interpretations view the phrase to mean that the Lord would reveal the secret aspects of their lives.

9 - Encouraging Human Sacrifice

Jephthah was a judge who presided over Israel for six years. He appears in the Bible in Judges 11. Jephthah came from a humble background and his mother was a prostitute. He led the Israelites in a battle against Ammon. If he won the war, he vowed to sacrifice whatever or whoever came out of his house first upon his return. Eventually, Jephthah and his troops won the war against Ammon. On returning from battle, the first thing he saw coming out of his house was his daughter. This meant that he had to sacrifice his daughter to fulfill his promise.This account remains one of the most disturbing events in the Bible amongst biblical scholars and Christian faith believers. Several scholars have been puzzled as to why God never intervenes in this human sacrifice. Previously, an angel had prevented Abraham’s sacrifice of his son, Isaac. Some say, though, that it may have been a punishment for Jephthah’s rash choice in vows. Either way, this tale of daughter sacrifice carried out by her own father is one of the most horrifying tales in the Bible.

10 - Allowing Slavery

Both the Old and New Testament recognize the existence of slavery as an institution. The Old Testament sanctions slavery and the use of slaves in several instances. People in the Old Testament became slaves in several ways. According to the Old Testament, slaves could be purchased, as seen in Genesis 37:28, which says, “Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.”Slavery could also run in the family as mentioned in Genesis 17:23 when Abraham demonstrated his faith in God by circumcising himself and every male in his household. God had appeared in front of Abraham and this was a way for him to repay God’s trust in him. The scripture says, “Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.”

Paul the Apostle never mentions slavery as an inhuman act. Instead, he mentions the duties of Christian slaves towards their masters. St. Augustine believed that slavery was a result of sin and should be tolerated. However, modern Christianity recognizes slavery as inhuman and against God’s will.

SmartPolician:
Osinbajo just pumped USD into the economy, created liquidity and that crashed the USD. That was a superficial approach. What we face today is much bigger than that. Everything is falling apart today.

What is wrong with pumping USD into the economy. And the long term solution which is industralization of course cannot happen within a few months - which was all the time he had as acting presido.

tctrills:
Lol. This boy, you never stop being you. .
Anyway,what's your point today?

I am wondering how you were able to sleep last night with your heavy conscience from your advocacy of apartheid, murder of innocent children and genocide.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

The operation kill Nigerians agenda by APC and her supporters is really working .

The mantra is,"let the poor suffer until they die".

No food.

No light.

No water.

No good hospital.

No good road.

If you talk about hunger,they will ask you to go back to farm.

What about good roads?,they will tell you to use your money and repair it.

Hospitals nko?,they will tell you that even in UK, people go to private hospitals.

Ok, fuel?, They will tell you that our rate is the cheapest in Africa.

If you talk about security,they will bring out statistics that people that died in the previous administration is less than what we are seeing in one year.


The question is,why grab power when you don't have intention to use it for good.

Honestly, this government is a curse.

God1000:
I think the bible made that clear but men should treat their wives with utmost respect

The bible (and the Quoran) are f.....ked up barbaric books.

Theoarhics:
Using problem to solve problem to bring bigger problems. If it's not Jesus na scam

Lol. Jesus sef na scam.

PerfectStranger:
Easiest way to divorce.Sharp sharp no papers

But why can't the spirit beings marry their fellow and allow us humans to rest? We already have a lot to deal with as humans.

Because you are spirit beings as well. Those you call spirit beings have merely taken off their clothes or casing (the body).

hkidola00:
the disease is man made,radioactive rays and some can foods

This is false. Even dinosaurs had cancer. Dont take my word for it, research it. Cancer therefore long predates man and his technology.

But just to show you that the point is inescapable. What about other diseases. Did man create them all?

Did man create mosquitoes?

edogu:
When I confronted him, he did as if what I was saying doesn't concern him.

I am surprised he didnt even insult you join, as is the normal way of Nigerians.

SisterRamota:
Thank God for the discovery.

Did you thank God for the disease in the first place, or is the disease the creation of "Shaitan" - also known as Lucifer or Iblis?

Why thank God for resolving a problem he created?

Saturnalia:
Guinness World Record should ban “ALL AFRICANS” from participating in any of their “Record-Breaking Achievements” before they pollute and scatter their credibility for them.

Africans generally have this inherent cheating and oversabi virus in their DNA.

Do you feel the heavy weight on your back? Yes, that one, the weight of inferiority complex and self hatred.

wirinet:
That is somebody's daddy or even granddaddy for god sake. To make matters worse, he is a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is dressing like a teenager who just hit some cash and need to showoff. The only thing missing is bling-bling and we will mistake him for a rapper.

Thank you jaare! VinnyBaba must be a teenager.

ddippset:
If we could list all the misyarns of Wike, we could make a full book.

Examples;;

1. APC is cancer party, I can never join cancer party.
2. Tinubu said he will continue from where Buhari stopped, how can anybody promote failure, I can never be associated with such.
3. Tell any INEC official coming to rig to write their will.
4. We thank God for the Supreme Court victory. It would not have been possible without Odili.
He would call me in the midnight and tell me,,, go and see this person, go and see that person. Look where we are today.
5. If I see Amaechi, I will kick him and turn him upside down.
6. I bought form for everyone of them,, did they buy form?
7. I don't have time, I was watching them and went to drink my 40 Year old whiskey.
8. I can never be a minister, I can never be second fiddle in my own court.
9. I can never be Vice President to anybody.
10. I will never leave PDP. Even if I don't get the ticket, I will support whoever is the party's choice.
11. How can Dave Umahi and Ayade leave and work against the party that made them? Some people have no integrity.
12. He abused a traditional ruler, see his cap like Usman Dan Fodio.
13. He even said thunder fire somebody while inside a Church event.

So many, So many..


Today he said go and hug transformer, he will remove a senator.

He is simply an area boy, a motor park tout.

Enemiesmasquera:
Wike sometimes talks before thinking and that's not good for a man at his age

Did you say sometimes?

tctrills:
I like your honesty. I only hope your friends know they can't depend on you.

Murderer, where have you been? Going to and fro in the world looking for what blighted people you can recommend for decimation, apartheid and oppression?

2RightHands1Coc:
Refined? pork is bad meat? I know some people forbid eating it. Forbidden fruit

Muslims and Jews are jokers on that matter of pork. How can anyone live in this world and despise pork or bacon. That is like despising cheese or butter or honey.

2RightHands1Coc:
Ram comes a distant second. Not bad too lol

Forget it bro. Look, I used to believe in pork as well. Even goat. But I have become refined.

Laotze said you must find the way.

I have found it, and I will help you find it too.

To do this, you must praise and worship ram.

ekeneokwologu:
If only you know the worth of what he’s wearing you won’t call him mechanic. Over 2k Euro

Its a silly tasteless outfit and moreso, most innapropriate for his role.

Quest7777:
Even if na designers, the dress no just fit Wike.

No be say e no just fit am. Whether na VERSACE or not, the dress just razz. Na bush man dress.

wirinet:
I must be the ignorant one here. I had thought that to create additional states in Nigeria requires constitutional amendment and not just an act of the national assembly. Can lawyers in the house please educate me.

They just started the process. After it scales the NASS it will be sent to the states where it must scale in two thirds of the states.

A seventy year old senator is a girl. If this is not misogyny I don't know what is.

Sadly, things cost money, according to the accursed murderer nairalanda1.

Denko2721987:
I know that you are too retarded to understand that this was a post 2020 election opinion and survey from the black community after measuring up the obvious difference between the Obama presidency and the then Trump presidency even with all hate and draw backs the Trump administration got from the crazy Dems and the sick dimwitted lefts like your bunch. Even with a little bit of evidence from the links I posted, your hate infested self can't just make u come to terms with this reality which is why illogical hate is a very dangerous thing. Well, you're an irredeemable dumbo and no one is coming to save but yourself.

Stop talking too much. Anyone can produce individual blacks who like Trump. That is easy.

Your claim was that MOST blacks prefer Trump. And that if we take a survey (which you called a "census" - olodo) - it will show that.

Please produce the survey which shows that most blacks prefer Trump or just crawl back to your day job as a lavatory cleaner where your fellow blue collar workers will agree with your stupidity.
