Christianity EtcRe: Six Churches That Don't Celebrate Christmas by drakeli:
Sunnycliff:
Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

You can see when he resurrected
I still have not seen where Jesus now said Saturday sabbath should now be changed to Sunday because I resurrected on Sunday. Jesus resurrection on Sunday and God’s command of worship on Saturday are two different things. Sunday worship is men’s tradition and not commanded in the Bible.

According to Catholic encyclopedia, the early Christians started meeting on Sunday to remember the resurrection of Jesus and not to replace Saturday with it. With passage of time, the Catholic Church now enforced Sunday to completely replace Saturday. Now you can see it’s the Catholic Church making to completely eradicate sabbath. All of the changes were just man made.

The reason for meeting on Sunday can be applied to Friday that because Jesus was crucified on Friday or Monday because he asked us to gather and meet him in Galilee. That’s is actually a command from Jesus asking his disciples to meet him on Monday before he went into heaven. He did not even command us to meet on Sunday because he resurrected. Don’t you think worshiping on Monday is even more in line as a command than Sunday? That’s to tell you people just decided to choose Sunday. Not commanded by the scripture . In fact Monday was commanded
Christianity EtcRe: Six Churches That Don't Celebrate Christmas by drakeli:
Sunnycliff:
We worship on Sunday because it is the day our Lord Jesus Christ broke the bounds of death and resurrected. His resurrection is the reason we have power over all religions and can conquer sin nd the devil.

His resurrection is of more significance than hi birth
Lie!!! We worship on Sunday because Roman emperor Constantine made it so. Jesus did not resurrect on Sunday. He resurrected on Monday. The Bible says Jesus would spend three days and three nights in the grave. Jesus was buried Friday evening. By your calculation, how did that end on Sunday morning . You won’t see that one because probably you don’t study yourself and you are one of the people that only believe in “our pastor says.

Obstruction? What Justice did he obstruct? See those democrats don't like Trump. From the get go when he became President, they have sworn to impeach him. Just negodu the stupid allegations they are using that Trump called Ukraine head of state and pressured him to investigate Joe biden when even the Ukraine president said such didn't happen that he wasn't pressurized. Abraham Lincoln will be turning in his grave. The whole world saw this farce put up by the democrats. Some people are saying this is a stain on Trump but I beg to differ, this will come back to bite democrats in the area where d sun don't shine. American people will vote based on results not based on some 'I don't like u' stunt the democrats doing. Tueeh. angry
Trump made effort to stop witnesses that would have testify against him. That’s obstruction of justice made against him.

Champagnemami thanks for this thread, I have learnt alot, pls don't get discouraged, come & continue biko...
One way or the other,we are all learning from the supposed arguments here to make an informed decision..


From what I found out this morning in an international (99% Americans)travel group I belong to on Facebook, it seems Americans also travel to middle east for greener pastures

The screenshot attached says it all

Promzy555 , someone suggested Qatar to you, look at the second pics & the response from an American citizen in Qatar, I went through her profile(lol i don even send her friend request) she's balling o, with a lot of degree...

So yea, most contributors to this thread are right, UAE & Qatar favors professionals..
You can make more money as a professional in the middle east compared to .....
About Americans traveling to Middle East for greener pasture. One thing you need to understand is that Americans especially are “worshipped” in the Middle East more than in America.

Who won’t leave their country and go to where they would be treated like kings. You can’t put yourself in the same shoes with Americans in UAE. Even with you having the same qualifications. Your Nigerian passport is a disadvantage to you in that regard. Many job openings in the UAE clearly indicate native English speakers or Americans are the qualifications for those jobs. Stop comparing yourself with Americans going to the Middle East. You don’t have the same white privilege.

I personally know an American that left her teaching job in a non profit organization school for children with special needs that paid her $25 per hour for another teaching job in the Middle East. So you want to tell me she moved to the Middle East because she was suffering in America like most Nigerians moving to the same Middle East. If you take the chats on that your Facebook group on face value alone, you will be mislead. Since you said they are Americans in the group.
TravelRe: My Experience Living And Working In The UAE by drakeli:
Going to hustle in Dubai comes with a lot of challenges. Be careful about where you house yourself. UAE is a land of bedbugs cheesy grin

After three months of unsuccessful frantic effort to land a job in UAE, I returned to Nigeria with a load of bed bugs and their eggs hiding in every sewing edges of my suitcase without me knowing. Can you imagine bringing bedbugs on a plane with you? I declared a total war on my bedbug infested suitcase the very day I landed. The room where I stayed for the whole three months was an overcrowded room with a lot of double decker beds like a hostel with all their mattresses laden with bed bugs hiding in them.

Although my visit to Dubai was never a waste because it eventually served as a travel experience for me in getting my US visa.

Good to hear you expose yourself that you live in a shanty town paying $400 as rent. When I was in Texas I paid $1100 for a one bedroom apartment. I am really happy to know you share a room with four other guys. Young man you are a learner, most immigrants work over 60hrs. Go New York and Chicago go see people average 12hrs a day. Na back of America you dey stay. You want to school me on somewhere I stayed for over five years.What happened to federal withholding, state tax, social security, medicare, auto insurance, car notes, health insurance premiums, etc? Na all the listed them commot $500 as tax? Very laughable. How many Americans make $3840 monthly? Guy abeg make we behave and respect ourselves. You saved $2,000 monthly? You are a clown! Most people struggle to save $5,000 annually. I know say u dey wait for tax season so u can get a refund of $2500. Thats the only time immigrants manage to smile in that hellhole called America

Christianity EtcRe: Zambia To Warn US Over Remarks About Jailing Of Gay Couple by drakeli:
MrBrownJay1:
bwaaaaaah, see rubbish?! YES as a human being i am your brotha and you are my brotha!!!!
i call you guys my xtian brothas because you guys are xtians, just like i call my muslim brothas because they are muslim, and certainly not because i am a brainwashed religious donkey like you guys, lol! now since you deluded donkeys believe that we aint brothas (therefore you guys are clearly clueless about what YOUR holybook teaches), let me do the honor of EDUCATING YOU:

Luke 6:27-28
“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you"

1 John 3:15
"Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him."

John 15:12
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."

1 John 4:20
"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen."

Romans 12:10
"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."

Ephesians 4:32
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."


... now read the above VERY CAREFULLY and stop trying to take from your holybook only what fits your selfish deluded agenda. whether i am an atheist brotha or enemy of xtians/christians, you deluded brainwashed donkeys should LOVE me as your brotha regardless.

Your ignorance is high to the roof. You think you are wise in your own eyes. But your foolishness is over the top.

Am I your brother? Yes as we are humans like you said . Do I hate you? Of course I don’t.

But am I your brother in “X”? Hell no! I am not. X is not definition of Christ that I know. X is a variable factor that can assume any meaning. You believe in X hence you are Xtian. I don’t believe that with you. Xtian has its root in atheism. If you are an atheist, I understand. So no point arguing with you. Atheists have been replacing the name of Christ with X anywhere they can. This is not unconnected with their trying to not acknowledge His existence. So they named ignorant people like you Xtian instead of Christian. Of course you are too foolish to know. This is not about sanctimonious attitude. It’s about knowledge and knowing the truth.

You might be an atheist fine. If not fine. However I’m not your brother in X. The same way I will never be your brother in an occult.

To satanists, X means Satan. If you have a good knowledge of western voodoo especially as practiced in Haiti and Brazil or the practice of satanism in the US, you will understand that letter “X” is very symbolic in their circle. But are you knowledgeable enough to know? NO! Of course. Go and look for your brother in Xtian. Your fellow atheists. I’m not one of them mr.

Hosea 4:6: My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Christianity EtcRe: Zambia To Warn US Over Remarks About Jailing Of Gay Couple by drakeli:
MrBrownJay1:
lol ok sir... but i prefer xtian and since i am always ready to debunk the gibberish stuff you write on NL, its easier to write xtian. now as you holybook commands you to love thy neighbor and brothas, dont forget to send me some brotherly love too (whether i believe in your holybook or not), lol!
You are not our brother in Christ. Go and look for your own brothers in X so you can all be Xtians together. As for us, we are Christians because we do not deny the power in the name of Christ by replacing it with “X” a variable which can take the meaning of anything. Members of the church of Satan would conveniently refer to themselves as Xtian since to them X has a different mean (Satan) and they would tell you that they too attend church. So they are Xtians.

Now you know there is a great difference between the word *CHRISTIAN* and the word *XTIAN*?



CHRIST in Hebrew means *The Anointed One* or *The Chosen One*



It is believed that Atheists and Antichrists decided to change anything about Christ in order to deny His existence by removing the name Christ for an *X* to mean that there is no Christ and that Christians are following an “X” which denote non existence of Christ. Also, because atheists love to celebrate Christmas just as an holiday and they don’t want to acknowledge the name Christ as the reason for Christmas, because celebrating the birth of someone they don’t believe exist would make them look stupid, so they had to replace Christ with X which stands for something different to them. Unfortunately, so many ignorant Christians have fallen for this manipulation.

All this is to pass a message that there is no Christ.


X is often used 2 designate a person,thing, factor, whose true name or identity is unknown/withheld.
It's used to take out, excise,cancel words.
"X" has nothing to do with "Christ" "The Anointed One," Don't replace Christ with "X if you know who you are serving if truly you love Christ and you are a Christian.

For the Op. The fact that you found yourself in a state of total darkness during your near death experience is a pointer to the fact that you were already doom. All believers that had near death experience like you, narrate how what they saw was a bright light and not darkness before they were brought back to life. For the fact that what you saw in your coma was darkness says a lot about where you could have ended up. Change your ways and believe in Jesus today.

9. The USA is a mordern day empire which was forged with sweat, tears and blood, the USA became a force to be reckoned with after the second world war, this empire can boast of having a formidable economy and very strong military, believe me it is an empire ready to do anything to preserve its might, and the bitter truth remains that it will surely collapse as no empire lasts forever.
This world is an empire on its own. This world will fall and its end is imminent:

The last single empire would be America. In the last days, other empires shall rise up (Russia and China). They shall all be at war(the battle of Armageddon). This battle would bring an end to all of these empires as there shall be total destruction and afterwards the end shall come.

So don’t think after America, there shall be another singular empire whereby America would now become a toothless dog and has no more relevance. The rise of all these empires you listed had been prophecized.

Anyway that's story for another day
Nigerians and mediocrity. Did you read in the news article that the ship is run by a Swiss based Mediterranean Shipping Company and not JPMorgan. And that JPMorgan does not control the operation of the ship. JPMorgan as a financial institution financed the purchase of the ship. That makes the ship property of JPMorgan until the shipping company are able to fully pay back JPMorgan for the ship it helped them to finance its purchase.

You don’t understand how property purchase is undergone in the US. JPMorgan can finance your morgage. The house is a property of JPMorgan or the bank that finance it until you are through with reimbursing them back. That’s how people buy properties in the US. That’s what JPMorgan does. You don’t even know what JPMorgan does in the first place .

The ship belongs to the Swiss company. But in the eyes of the US law, the ship is JPMorgan property since the Swiss co is still owing for its purchase. JPMorgan can repossess the ship if payment is not made in full.

You are just saying what you have no knowledge of

A typical Nigerian way of reasoning. In America, when you are accused of wrongdoing, you step down to safe the reputation of your company and to send a message that you and your actions are separate from the business entity. A CEO and owner of just a pizza company (Papa Johns pizza) stepped down when he was accused of using racial slur against black people. Even when he was not proven guilty. He did that to save his business.

But in my beloved country Nigeria, a public officer would be accused of corruption and refuse to resign.

The actress that was jailed for bribing her daughter’s way into college is Lori Loughlin. She’s one of the 50 people charged. She paid $500,000

You only show that a ship with cocaine load belong to JPMorgan. Why can’t you show us proof that the cocaine belong to JPMorgan. Do you know more than the authorities that did not find him guilty of drug trafficking? If JPMorgan ship is hired to ship one thing only for the the people that hire it to use it for another motive. How does that make the owner of the ship guilty? So because I have a fleet of cars for hire has made me responsible for whatever the cars are made to transport?
The same news says JPMorgan does not control the operation of the ship.
