Politics › Re: Yoruba Elders In Diaspora Write Gutierrez, UN Over Insecurity by dexmond: 12:00pm On Jul 22, 2019
The YCEEA have done their best in sensitising the world of an impending genocide by a group that is fully armed and ready to unleash terror on their fellow country men who will be like lame ducks for target practice. unfortunately, the UN and EU are complicit in all these. reason, UN never condemned the killing of the Yazidis in Syria, the protesting Shites, the unarmed Ipobs and other people been oppressed by the Sunnis. instead, UN will tacitly give the oppressors consultancy advice like they did in central Africa republic. carry out your research you will know this is pure truth.

It was something like this that started the war in the CAR. The Selekas were Fulani militia, funded by there federal government, when the killings became much, the Christians formed the Antibalaka. War broke out, the Fulani later sought for their own country in the North. The UN refused the request for a new country, not because they want the country to be one, but because they know the Fulanis will not survive in the new country. Let the President not underestimate the survival instinct in man in the face of this type of threat.

Romans 1:26

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. (NIV)

Christianity Etc › Re: Share Your Salvation Experience, What Led You To Christ? by dexmond:
The road to my be salvation started after I read a book titled "Life—How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or by Creation?". After reading the book, I was convinced that man was actually created by God. What I took away from the book especially was from the part that talks about the complexity of the human brain and eyes. A section on who invented it first? or something that sounds like that. So, I concluded that the bible is true and the things written therein including a literal hell is true. I did not surrender my life to Jesus immediately, but I said when I get to certain age, after enjoying life, I will then serve God. This did not happen as I surrender my Life at the age of 22 following an incident. One day, while crossing the road, a bus almost hit me. Something in me kept saying if I had died in the accident. I would have gone to hell. So, when I got to work, I prayed by asking God to forgive all my sins and that I will serve him. Little did I know that the prayer will change the course of my life forever. Soon after, I discovered that those things which I loved doing were no longer attractive to me- the power of Sin was broken!!! People around noticed a remarkable change in me, I did do anything to change myself except that I just couldn't do things that displease God. It has been 16 years since that time. I have been tempted several times and I have failed several time. But each time, I find strength in the scripture which the Lord gave me then - it says "A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth". I have not been the best of Christians, but I rest on His Grace and Love. I pray that He will find me worthy at His coming or at death if he tarries in coming back.
Christianity Etc › Dying Testimonies Of Saved And Unsaved By Solomon Benjamin Shaw by dexmond(op): 7:38pm On Nov 26, 2017
DEATH-BED SCENE OF DAVID HUME, THE DEIST

David Hume, the deistical philosopher and historian, was born at Edinburgh in 1711. In 1762 he published his work, Natural Religion. Much of his time was spent in France, where he found many kindred spirits, as vile and depraved as himself. He died in Edinburgh in 1776, aged sixty-five years. Rev. E. P. Goodwin, in his work on Christianity and Infidelity, shows Hume to be dishonest, indecent and a teacher of immorality. Rev. Robert Hall, in his Modern Infidelity, says:

"Infidelity is the joint offspring of an irreligious temper and unholy speculation, employed, not in examining the evidences of Christianity, but in detecting the vices and imperfections of confessing Christians. It has passed through various stages, each distinguished by higher gradations of impiety; for when men arrogantly abandon their guide, and willfully shut their eyes on the light of heaven, it is wisely ordained that their errors shall multiply at every step, until their extravagance confutes itself, and the mischief of their principles works its own antidote.

"Hume, the most subtle, if not the most philosophical, of the deists; who, by perplexing the relations of cause and effect, boldly aimed to introduce a universal skepticism and to pour a more than Egyptian darkness into the whole region of morals."

Again in McIlvaine's Evidences:

"The nature and majesty of God are denied by Hume's argument against the miracles. It is Atheism. There is no stopping place for consistency between the first principle of the essay of Hume, and the last step in the denial of God with the abyss of darkness forever. Hume, accordingly, had no belief in the being of God. If he did not positively deny it, he could not assert that he believed it. He was a poor, blind, groping compound of contradictions. He was literally 'without God and without hope,' 'doting about questions and strifes of words,' and rejecting life and immortality out of deference to a paltry quibble, of which common-sense is ashamed.

"There is reason to believe that however unconcerned Hume may have seemed in the presence of his infidel friends, there were times when, being diverted neither by companions, nor cards, nor his works, nor books of amusements, but left to himself, and the contemplation of eternity, he was anything but composed and satisfied.

"The following account was published many years ago in Edinburgh, where he died. It is not known to have been ever contradicted. About the end of 1776, a few months after the historian's death, a respectable-looking woman, dressed in black, came into the Haddington stage-coach while passing through Edinburgh. The conversation among the passengers, which had been interrupted for a few minutes, was speedily resumed, which the lady soon found to be regarding the state of mind persons were in at the prospect of death. An appeal was made, in defense of infidelity, to the death of Hume as not only happy and tranquil, but mingled even with gaiety and humor. To this the lady said, 'Sir, you know nothing about it; I could tell you another tale.' 'Madam,' replied the gentleman, 'I presume I have as good information as you can have on this subject, and I believe what I have asserted regarding Mr. Hume has never been called in question.' The lady continued, 'Sir, I was Mr. Hume's housekeeper for many years, I was with him in his last moments; and the mourning I now wear is a present from his relatives for my attention to him on his death bed; and happy would I have been if I could have borne my testimony to the mistaken opinion that has gone abroad of his peaceful and composed end. I have, sir, never till this hour opened my mouth on this subject, but I think it a pity the world should be kept in the dark on so interesting a topic. It is true, sir, that when Mr. Hume's friends were with him he was cheerful and seemed quite unconcerned about his approaching fate; nay, frequently spoke of it to them in a jocular and playful way; but when he was alone, the scene was very different; he was anything but composed, his mental agitation was so great at times as to occasion his whole bed to shake. And he would not allow the candles to be put out during the night, nor would he be left alone for a minute, as I had always to ring the bell for one of the servants to be in the room before he would allow me to leave it. He struggled hard to appear composed, even before me. But to one who attended his bedside for so many days and nights and witnessed his disturbed sleeps and still more disturbed wakings who frequently heard his involuntary breathings of remorse and frightful startings, it was no difficult matter to determine that all was not right within. This continued and increased until he became insensible.

I hope to God I shall never witness a similar scene.

LAST HOURS ON EARTH OF THE NOTED FRENCH INFIDEL, VOLTAIRE

When Voltaire felt the stroke that he realized must terminate in death, he was overpowered with remorse. He at once sent for the priest, and wanted to be "reconciled with the church." His infidel flatterers hastened to his chamber to prevent his recantation; but it was only to witness his ignominy and their own. He cursed them to their faces; and, as his distress was increased by their presence, he repeatedly and loudly exclaimed:

"Begone! It is you that have brought me to my present condition. Leave me, I say; begone! What a wretched glory is this which you have produced to me!"

Hoping to allay his anguish by a written recantation, he had it prepared, signed it, and saw it witnessed. But it was all unavailing. For two months he was tortured with such an agony as led him at times to gnash his teeth in impotent rage against God and man. At other times, in plaintive accents, he would plead, "O Christ! O Lord Jesus!" Then, turning his face, he would cry out, "I must die abandoned of God and of men!"

As his end drew near, his condition became so frightful that his infidel associates were afraid to approach his bedside. Still they guarded the door, that others may not know how awfully an infidel was compelled to die. Even his nurse repeatedly said, "For all the wealth of Europe she would never see another infidel die." It was a scene of horror that lies beyond all exaggeration. Such is the well-attested end of the one who had a natural sovereignty of intellect, excellent education, great wealth, and much earthly honor. We may all well exclaim with Balsam, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his. The Contrast Between Infidelity and Christianity

THE ADVICE OF ETHAN ALLEN, THE NOTED INFIDEL, TO HIS DYING DAUGHTER

Though the following biographic note may be familiar to some, it may yet be useful to many. Ethan Allen was a professed infidel. He wrote a book against the divinity of our blessed Lord. His wife was a Christian, earnest, cheerful and devoted. She died early, leaving an only daughter behind, who became the idol of her father. She was a fragile, sensitive child, and entwined herself about the rugged nature of her sire, as the vine entwines itself about the knotty and gnarled limbs of the oak. Consumption marked this fair girl for its own; and she wasted away day by day, until even the grasshopper became a burden.

One day her father came into her room and sat down by her bedside. He took her wan, ethereal hand in his. Looking her father squarely in the face, she said:

"My dear father, I'm going to die." "Oh! no, my child! Oh! no. The spring is coming and with the birds and breezes and the bloom, your pale cheeks will blush with health." "No; the doctor was here today. I felt I was nearing the grave, and I asked him to tell me plainly what I had to expect. I told him that it was a great thing to exchange worlds; that I did not wish to be deceived about myself, and if I was going to die I had some preparations I wanted to make. He told me my disease was beyond human skill; that a few more suns would rise and set, and then I would be borne to my burial. You will bury me, father, by the side of my mother, for that was her dying request. But father, you and mother did not agree on religion. Mother often spoke to me of the blessed Savior who died for us all. She used to pray for both you and me, that the Savior might be our friend, and that we might all see Him as our Savior, when He sits enthroned in His glory. I don't feel that Z can go alone through the dark valley of the shadow of death. Now, tell me, father, whom shall I follow, you or mother? Shall I reject Christ, as you have taught me, or shall I accept Him, as He was my mother's friend in the hour of her great sorrow?"

There was an honest heart beneath that rough exterior. Though tears nearly choked his utterance, the old soldier said:

"My child, cling to your mother's Savior; she was right. I'll try to follow you to that blessed abode."

A serene smile over-spread the face of the dying girl, and who can doubt there is an unbroken family in heaven.

Shekau observes the 5 Pillars of Islam and even went further to follow the perfect Sunnah (teachings, acts, sayings, permissions and disapprovals) of the noble prophet. He quoted copiously from the text to back his actions, and even challenged the westernized Muslims to a debate. Is there any action of Shekau that is not recorded in the hadiths? PMB was on the list based on his legendary support for spreading Shariah through out Nigeria. More so, his foreign policy is looking towards the Middle-east.

I went further to say that it was the Paganism that neutralized the violent tendency that is inherent in Islam. Now, this Isese, Badoo and others have shown clearly that Paganism is deeply rooted among the Yorubas.

The existence of Jesus is a historical fact.

Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian (Jews are against christians) mentioned him in his writing.

Tacitus and Seutonius, Roman historians mentioned him in their writings.

Others like Thallus, Phlegon and Lucian of Samosate did mention him in their writings.

Then, most importantly, Jesus' dicisples who saw and lived with Him.

Do you believe that a man called Julius Ceaser ever existed? If yes, are their writings mentioning him around the period he lived or say 100 years after his death?
