Lol.. Guy dont be gullible. If ur story is true, den ur just lucky. Have u ever witnessed were an amputated limb was miraculously restored? In situations were luck or coincidence cant work, miracles also seize to work.

This is where your prejudices begin to show. Are you really in a position to judge whether miracles are real or coincidence? On what basis do you makes such conclusive and final statements as you did above? Do you really expect the rest of humanity to bow to your reasoning simply because you have made a closed minded remark?

Your rationale can only be based on one of two things
1. Your personal or first hand observed experiences OR
2. The shared experiences of others

Neither of these two make you an expert on the subject.

Does it make sense for you to judge me as gullible simply because you haven't experienced what I have experienced?

Does it make sense for lion to declare conclusively to a salamander it is impossible for a limb or a tail to regrow because it does it experience it? (FYI Salamanders regrow limbs and tails when amputated).

Your reasoning is flawed, my friend, and speaks of arrogance.

And please don't make science your refuge in this matter.

What a lot of people who share your opinion typically do is to run to the scientific method as a ntuary for your opinions.

You forget however a basic fundamental truth: science is a mode of enquiry and not a doctrine.


Seek first to understand (especially with areas with which you are unfamiliar) before criticizing.

P.S.
I am a trained medical doctor and did my due diligence by repeating and confirming my test result with the an internationally certified lab here in Nigeria ( there are currently only 3 in the country) so don't insult my intelligence by calling me gullible

grodt999:
nonsense, only a brainless monkey thinks life is a miracle!

It is simply a matter of biology, health and safety!

it just shows most Nigerians are illiterates!

Permission to object. Science is a study not an explanation. In the process of study you can surmise an explanation. It doesn't make the study the explanation as your theory might be wrong.

Think of the thousands of wrong cientofic theories on the nature and cause of disease before the germ theory which wasn't accepted as fact for decades.

Besides, the science you seem to espouse as the all in all answer and because of which, you have labeled Nigerians illiterates, is yet to explain LIFE.

Chrisrare:
Miracles happen all d time.. But its definitely not d work of a God or a supernatural being but just shear luck, hardwork or coincidence.

Sheer luck hard work or coincidence doesn't explain my cancer healing. By healing I mean it was there. I prayed to God. Received revelation on scriptural healing. Believed the Word of God. Ran the tests again and it was gone.

One doesn't need to have an opinion on every subject. Especially one which you have not had any experience with.

Don't castigate what you don't know. Instead seek knowledge before forming an opinion.

Ladies is up to you, what do you feel, do you agree?

Opening a can of worms.

I suspect a lot of people who have issues with this are either unmarried or have issues in their marriage.

Every woman that's making her marriage work understands and agrees with what the op has put up.

Does that mean the man doesn't have a role to play ? Of course not. There is a similar list out there for men.

But when you, as a woman, look at this list and see subjugation and male dominance stead of the recipe for a happy marriage it is , you reveal that you either are not ready for the reality of marriage.

P.S.
I've been proudly married for 10 years and my wife, a successful career woman who is by no means a slave in my house, practices most of these

ifdaeg:
@OP am led by the spirit of the Lord to congratulate you for counting yourself out of the number that are believing God to be with Him in his kingdom forevermore. Welcome to HELL. Your eternal home of torment. You think your tiny brain that can cease from existence in the next 30seconds can judge GOD and HIS standards set for humanity. The last time I checked animals don't battle with sin, except Man because a fruit was eaten in a garden. That fruit like a virus breeds sin, and only the cleansing antivirus (the blood of Jesus Christ) can set you free from Sin. With people like you heaven is impossible but with God nothing shall be impossible. Once more, since you rejected heaven you can't reject hell. Thank God you won't come back to counter this thread when you die and find yourself before the God you just insulted. Once more welcome to hell Mr walking dead.

No need for insults here. Remember that the (human) spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet so don't blame your outburst on the Sporot of God

NinjaX:
Nope. You guys are just being dishonest. But deep down you know what I'm saying is nothing but the gospel truth. You may not feel inclined to agree to that simply because you don't wanna lose face in front of your brothers.

Are you a theist now? I've stumbled on some of your posts in the past. Thought you were an atheist. Why is that?

I disagree. What you are saying is nowhere near the gospel truth. You base your conclusions on fallible assumptions which, if you were to study scripture properly, you would find were false.

From your op and subsequent comments, you seem to think that it is the act of sinning that gets me into hell, therefore if one live a holy life but sins at the last minute he goes to hell.

That is not Jesus' position at all. The sin the whole world is guilty of and will be judged on is the sin of not accepting Jesus as Lord and not lying, usual adultery or even murder. See John 16:8-9.

When this sin is forgiven I.e. When an individual becomes born again, then he becomes the righteousness of God IN Christ. See 2 Cor. 5:21. This is what Naijadeyhia was alluding to. Jesus' death paid for all our sins so that we now have a rightstanding I.e. Righteousness with God.
Jesus has forgiven the world of sin. When we refuse his forgiveness, that is the sin that sends people to hell. Considering what it cost God to accomplish this, refusing Jesus' sacrifice is like a slap in the face.

Now what happens when a Christina, who is already the righteousness of God sins? He is forgiven. Not on the basis of his good works but on the basis of the blood sacrifice of Jesus. In 1 John 1 which was written to Christians and discusses the subject, there is a fair level of acceptance that believers sin but it is also clear that all that need happen is an immediate confessions and such sins is already forgiven.

I hope this makes sense to you. I believe it should if you read it with an open mind. I would hate to think your op was just an excuse for needless debate rather than a true quest for sound bible teaching

NinjaX:
@Naijadeyhia

You didn't do justice to the question I posed in the slightest. Your response is far below the belt, far far below what I was expecting.

You only went about gathering the harvested wheats together with the tares in the process of aiming to counter my assertions, lumping everything together in a violent conflagaration and ended up destroying everything, losing out woefully on both sides.

Most of what you wrote up there are not new to me.

Still it does not change the fact that God acts in random ways thus even if you are righteous till death, entering heaven is not yet certain. And also, you cannot abstain from sin completely. To hell with all that crap about discipline.

No individual is a saint. We are all tainted with bad thoughts - the more effort you exert to overcome the urge, the more you are given to it. While some are consumed with it - and those are the ones sent to prison/sanctioned because they backed their thoughts with actions.

You are walking your reason through a one-sided tunnel. At least be open-minded a little. That would help.

And when I made mention of confessing sins, I was actually alluding to the fact that sins can be confessed anywhere, anytime.

I'm not a catholic, I'm an anglican, but that's not relevant to the discourse.

Actually he answered your question fully! Your response to his further convinced me of what I suspected when I read your original post, which is you really don't understand righteousness. righteousness is better defined as a rightstanding wth God and not the absence of sin. Naijadeyhia has already done justice to the subject. I would suggest you read the book of Romans with an open mind and non preconceived definitions of what you are reading.

It reiterates the gullibility of Christians in This country.

Their supposed Men of God keep showing they'r not of God. But this won't stop our fellow country people from following them.

Okotie once claimed God told him he was Nigeria's next president. He was wrong and still, he has followers.

Coza pastor is wearing Gucci despite a sex scandal, courtesy of these people.

Oyedepo is the slapping, cursing, ruthless leader of the livingsfaith church and he has supposedly educated Nigerians kneeling before him for prayers.

I can go on and on..

Point of correction sir. TB Joshua is not a Christian but a cultist. He has never been accepted as a Christian by either PFN or CAN. Those who know his history have always found him questionable.

Omeny:
Why are u replying that unrepentant mumu?

Him never know where this Buhari is taking Nigeria to.

Him eye go soon clear maybe when they sack am from work if he has any.

Again I say, insult is the preserve of the unintelligent. But I doubt if you truly understand what that means

honfnj:
Fight which corruption.. His chief of staff took N500m bribe from MTN he did nothing yet you are here telling me he is fighting corruption.. My brother wake up Na.. Try wake up if not u go die for sleep o

I don't get you guys.

I am not defending Buhari and I don't think he is Nigeria's Saviour.

But must we blind ourselves to the disaster of a president GEJ was?

A man who goes on an international speaking tour (which is normal by the way and not a reflection of any regard in which he is held) and says he doesn't think anyone can steal 2.2 billion despite evidence to the contrary.

This is not a competition between GMB and GEJ.

All some of us are saying is let's not deceive ourselves that Jonny was good.

Please keep Mugabe there till such a time we are able to round up all the zombies in Nigeria, especially the very stupid and brainwashed ones on nairaland, lock them into one big expanse of land, give it a name (maybe Zombieria) then you can give them Mugabe to buffet them

A good test of unintelligence is how quickly it takes refuge in insult.

i want to ask three questions!


(1) how often do you fast?


(2) do you pray at least 10times a day?


(3) do you distance yourself from sin?


you don't do all these things and you expect GOD to show itself to you! - scientists have tried their best to find where GOD is really is but all to no avail so they conclude that there's no GOD!


just because people Don't see GOD Face to face so they have a mere intuition that GOD Doesn't exist - but funny enough you people have never seen devil in person yet you believe he exist, every bad thing that happen to you, you believe its always the handiwork of devil.

try to do all those 3 aforementioned list up there, and i asure you that GOD will see you in spirit and he will make you understand everything.

i am a living testimony

I am sorry o. I am a bible believing Christian with a vibrant relationship with God. I however fail to see how these questions old have made the OP solve his problem? It's relationship with God that defines Christianity not fixed legalism.

Your system helped you get closer to God. Expecting it to get he OP closer to God as well is ritualistic and not a formula for successful Christianity

Can Bubu make a coherent speech in international fora without people dozing off. Can Bubu command an articulate speech that will make people sit up, I dont think so.

At least he doesn't make speeches filled with lies making Nigeia a laughing stock of the international community.

Keep shining GEJ, the best,most intelligent,most forward thinking,most patriotic and most honest president Nigeria has ever had

I cannot believe this!

You guys are like the Jews who shouted cricify the Christ while praising and advocating the release of a criminal.

Former president Goodluck Jonathan today spoke at the Oxford Union of the University of Oxford on the subject of promoting youth entrepreneurship. His speech ended with a rousing ovation as whites gave him a 'thunderous clap' at the end of his speech.

Trust Nigerians na,they have stormed his page,congratulating him and even placing him ahead of Buhari in all ramifications.

Reading the comments is truly saddening.

If we as a people are so incapable of lucid memories of the direction the country was going under this GEJ, then we truly deserve our country as it is.

I am not speaking In GMB's defense and I don't consider him Nigeria's Saviour but we are truly a sorry set of people if we are this shortsighted.

Our last election was like choosing between Trump and Clinton. Clinton isn't perfect but the alternative is a disaster waiting to happen.

I will probably catck flake for this as I see there are so many non-thinking entities here but you cannot substitute facts with sentiment.

i am decent and hardworking. i don't wear provocative outfits although i stay classy. this my father's agemate has been on my neck for some time now just to go down with me. i keep telling him NO and all but he won't bulge a bit. he's got a wife and kids.. i don't wanna ruin his home neither do i want to put my own future in jeopardy by sleeping with him..

however, jobs are very scarce in this country and i don't wanna lose this 6-figure paying job cos he keeps threatening to lay me off if i don't do his bidding.. what do i do?? please advice!!


mods.. i will appreciate if you can push this to fp... i am so confused right now... i need people's opinion.

Get evidence against him. Record one of e conversations secretly. You can use your phone voice recorder on your laptop, a simple spy recorder (check Jumia or Konga) etc. Get your evidence. Keep it. If he fires you get a lawyer and sue him for unjust dismissal and present our evidence.

If you work for a multinational, better still. Once you have your evidence, go to HR.

The critical factor is for you to get your evidence secretly and quietly without him knowing about it.

Once you have that, the game is yours to play however you want it. You could even threaten him with exposure if you are bold enough but that might back fire cos as your boss all he has to do is stop harassing you and then give your abysmal performance reviews till the company drops you.

I would personally go the HR route after getting a video or audio evidence

Call it what you will but I've seen it happen with both parties pleased with it.

Again an error on your part. It's not what I call it neither is it my personal opinion but what both the law and rules guiding professional conduct state.

LordHiffy:
Nothing like un professionalism here. So a guy can't like a girl again just because she's a customer?? Haven't you see a doctor dating his patient or a lecturer dating his student before?? Plus the guy's approach wasn't irresponsible.

Dude! A doctor dating his patient CAN lose not only his job but his license. Same for lawyers. Same for Lecturers. It's called professional misconduct. That's what you guys don't get

Have you ever had a customer care agent call you outside official reasons? This Kenyan lady took to Twitter ribed as a 'breach of privacy'.

The social media user tweeted directly at the official handle of mobile telecom company, Orange, to report a staff member who contacted her on WhatsApp after rendering official service to her.

She also tweeted details of their chat as she called for appropriate measures to be taken.

However, Twitter users are divided on her move, saying the lady went too far in reporting the guy to his employers since he wasn't rude.

Continue below to see their chat. Do you think the lady went too far in reporting the customer care agent?

http://www.lailasblog.com/2016/10/lady-exposes-customer-care-agent-who.html

I read a lot of people's comments and just shook my head.
We have just shown how hypocritical we are in this part of the world.
It seems we do not realize the gravity of what the guy did.
[b][/b]THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF INVASION OF PRIVACY AND IS A CRIMINAL ACT THAT CAN GET BOTH HIM AND HIS EMPLOYER SUED

To help make it clearer, remember that it means the guy not only has confirmed to the girl that he has access to her personal details (think home address, birthday, mothers maiden name and all those other things you fill out on those forms) he has also demonstrated to her that he is willing to use it for a personal issue.

Theoretically, he can stalk her, kidnap her, rape her, impersonate her at a banks etc.

Put yourself in her shoes befor you judge what she did harshly.

This was gross professional misconduct.

Another example to help all you critics think a bit. What would you say If your male doctor is examining your vagina (ladies) or anus (guys) and he now says "I like the way you feel inside"?

That look on your face right now is exactly the way the woman felt.

And you are all putting her down for reporting him.

We are just a bunch of hypocrites.

Small time we will be blaming Buhari

Guy! I don't support the hypocrites but I beg you for your own safety, sanity and your eternal soul, never mock what you don't understand. The picture you put up is highly disrespectful of Jesus. God however doesn't need me to fight His battles. And it is for this reason I fear for you. God in His mercy is giving humanity time and space to repent. This does not mean that we should take His reticence for non-existence; calling Jesus a parasite.

Judging by the audacity with which you posted this, I am almost certain you will mock this also. I leave you to God but pray for your forgiveness
