Nothing like hell or heaven... Be kind to humanity.

Yet, you when your wife slept with your neighbour you cried and wailed for months.

The new born baby just came from heaven, it is hell he does not know until you people start wishing him evil, and we all see that he responds to such people by moving away from them

Krismas:
Trauma based amnesia can be counted by reverse trauma treatment. This is why people become more psychic when they fast or use hard drugs.

Does this make sense? Now you are talking Off Point

Krismas:
No one has a right to judge you unless you commit yourself into their hands. This why they ask you to give your life to Christ. You selling yourself away

If it is so, then why have people being judged since Adam till tomorrow like the woman who killed her baby https://www.nairaland.com/8761843/abuja-woman-kills-newborn-baby#140850299

And when did anyone commit their lives to the judge who sent them to prison?

Our lives are already in the Hands of Christ and we are already judged and going to be judged by Him, so that is not the meaning of give your life to Christ

zinaunreal:
What's the difference between this and licking a white man's feet before you leave this world. I don't know why some of you Christians no dey even fit know one plus one. Why don't you embrace your traditional religion before you go??

The same paganism and tradition people ran out of their homes for. Yu wiked. How person go see life choose death?

Krismas:
A lot of surprises await you as soon as your memory start coming back! Thats all you need. You don't need nobody educating you with bunch of lies like religion is doing.

What a delu
If your memory has been wiped clean where are you going to get it back? Who is going to give you? 🤣🤣🤣

Opinedecandid:
... I’d invite reflection rather than fear: the divine isn’t something to be bargained with, but something we already belong to....

The real eyeity is that if you are a drug carrier, you must FEAR police, NDLEA, customs etc.

zenburster:
What's the worst that could happen?

Can hellfire be worse than Tinubu's present day Nigeria?

Abeg don't threaten me with a good time.

Tinubu still no reach when your wife slept with your father. And hell fire is still worse than that

Opinedecandid:
How certain are you that judgement comes after death?
It were better it came shortly before death. It would have been more believable.
All of those afterlife claims are a ruse, my brother. Read between the lines.

Judgement and Revenge is best served cold plus you do not have all the life on earth to serve your sentence. So after life on earth guarantees that you can serve all your judgements without limitation

Krismas:
Thats the real problem. Humans have no memory. They are zombies infact.
You for instance, you are more dan 2billion yrs old but your memory has been wiped clean just like everyone of us.

See delu
If your memory has been wiped clean then how did you know that you are 2billion yrs old? 🤣🤣🤣

erad:
I know where I'll spend my eternity... In the ground being food for worms and insects, and that's how every other person will as well except for some that will choose to be cremated.

Where was I before coming here? Nothing.
What will I be after departing? Nothing.

So you would be lying down and looking while worms and insects are eating you? Wow that's a torture

Nearly the same thing God did for me save that in my case God opened my eyes to see many things that 1) fornicators don't prosper 2) if the boy was fine and young he becomes old and washed off (same thing for girls too that's why they hide it under make up) 3) if the boy was blessed and prospering before he becomes cursd and loses his job or his business dies.

And then i saw the opposite happen to the woman who fornicated him in that where she was dry and ugly, after sex she starts shinning and looking fine, while the boy gets her dry and ugliness.

And where before she did not prosper after fornication with that blessed boy, she starts to prosper while the boy starts to go down.

Omo, i truly did not want to fornicate again and nd i noticed that it's like the women knew and they avoided me and nobody said any shiii...

But like you said e get the day you no won hear again and what God did for me was that on such days no woman would be around and it is when it had passed that 1 or 2 would start fulin themselves as i called it, but I was not moved.

Then when my wife was to come the dev came with what Beowulf called a beautiful woman with big promises....

chatinent:
Didn't read that. The topic made it so hard to pass two lines.

Na lie just say it pained you so much that a guy said no to fornication even when the dev was willing and naked

merrymike47:
You could have posted a Bible story on a Sunday, but no you chose this, maybe because sex related matters are things that sells in this generation.
Well, I read it and I can't judge you. I just hope that you've stopped to care about what people think or have to say about you.

Sex is what killed mankind

meobizy:
Anyone who read the whole story needs to do better in life.

Ehn! Because this is the guy who conquers you daughters of dev.

fattprince:
You are part of people that don't know insects are animals too. I was doing I call on game one day when I was very young, probably over 20 years ago. Someone called A and I wrote Ants under animal and this guy wanted to mark it wrong for me, telling me ant is an insect and not an animal. I had to start with biology for him just as I'm going to teach you now. In biology, we have living and non living things. Under living things we have Plants and animals, so under want will ants and other insects fall. We all know they are living things and not plants too. So my bro insects are animals too.

Beautiful! Very beautiful
👏🏾

FayaBall:
Truly the word "Feudal lord" acknowledges that the person in charge is a bandit agbero who has been given rule and power by his more powerful king of bandits.

The feudal lord is always a violent person and a person who is ready to do violence because he always has arms and has armed men who work for him ready to carry out his violent will exactly like the agbero system where Tinubu is the king and mc oluomo and co are the feudal lords in Lagos

True.
Since they did not take/get the consent of the people of the area to govern them then it means that they are bandits terrorists who took power by through the barrel of the gun. Therefore, these people are invaders, trespassers and no different from Isis and Houthis.

And since they are the ones who formed countries and borders and government, they are illegal as it is The Law- "anything founded on illegality cannot stand"

AI Overview
A transaction, contract, or action founded on an illegality is void ab initio (invalid from the very beginning) and unenforceable in a court of law

ex turpi causa non oritur actio, - "no action arises from a dishonourable cause".

And this is why many governments and countries are illegal and unlawful and the original settlers are always opposing government and trying to break the country so that they could lawfully rule themselves

Roycemadeit:
Dtruthspeaker, saying "who cares?" tells us that you don't consider the questions important. It doesn't tell us whether the questions are valid. You may consider the details about Eden unnecessary, but that is different from explaining the narrative...

The fact no reasonable person ever thought to ask it and that the question has no good or benefit to be derived from it renders it invalid.

AI Overview
An unusable question is, by definition, invalid. In survey design, data analysis, and legal proceedings, a question must be capable of yielding reliable, actionable information to be considered valid.

Roycemadeit:
Dtruthspeaker and Vdestro, I think we're confusing commentary with a question that demands an answer.

Dtruthspeaker, I understand your mannequin analogy. You're saying that just as a mannequin cannot determine that its creator must be made of plastic, humans cannot assume that God shares human physical characteristics. Vdestro, your examples of Faraday, Hippocrates and women being called fathers demonstrate that the term can be metaphorical. I'm not unaware of these interpretations.

But my commentary was about the combined language and imagery used in Christian theology: God as Father, Jesus as Son, God consistently referred to as He, the Ancient of Days portrayed with white beards in Daniel 7, and humanity supposedly created in God's image. I also highlighted the peculiar arrangement of a divine Father and Son, but no divine mother.

You are free to interpret these descriptions as metaphors, accommodations to human understanding or representations of a God beyond biological sex. My observation concerns the language and imagery themselves, and the distinction between what is presented literally and what is subsequently explained symbolically.

When you say you've answered me, remember that I was making commentary. You chose to engage with it, and I am commenting on your responses in turn. Explaining your interpretation doesn't automatically make my original observation disappear.

You may disagree with my commentary, but please don't confuse offering an interpretation with establishing that the issue I highlighted no longer exists.

Since you get what I am saying then and you have highlighted the issue you are focusing on which is on "language and imagery used", then remember i told you that "a good teacher uses words a child can understand and relate to is why the Bible uses words we understand and relate to."

The idea of communication is that a message delivered is properly received by the target recipient. Same purposes the use of imageries is meant to achieve.

imagery
/ˈɪmɪdʒ(ə)ri/
Imagery is a literary and descriptive device that uses vivid, sensory language to build mental pictures and evoke physical or emotional experiences in the reader's imagination

And every reasonable person gets the message hence why no one has any question here

Roycemadeit:
[color=#990000][b]That one religious tradition conquered the cultural imagination of the world does not prove that its deity created that world.

The owner and creator of a house will always conquer and quash tenants and dwellers in his house

Always!

So it is here.

If there was anyone who wanted to contest ownership of this world nothing stops them from challenging God.

God even asked for them challenge Him.

But they are all silent staying quietly not trying to look for God's trouble.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, no one can save you from oncoming God judgements and puni. even if you run under the sea🤣🤣🤣🤣

Roycemadeit:
THE DEITY YOU INHERITED: CULTURE, CONQUEST AND THE CLAIM OF UNIVERSALITY

In a typical Nigerian Christian home, a child hears the names of the Christian deity, Jesus, and Amen before he learns his parents names. Through morning prayers, evening prayers, church services, and constant repetition, these names become part of his world before he is old enough to question them. He learns to acknowledge a deity before he understands the history behind that deity.

By the time he begins to think independently, he has already been taught that this deity created him, loves him, and is the Creator of every human being on earth. What began as an inherited belief is presented to him as a universal truth...

Why are you disturbing us repeating questions that have been answered tirelessly?

Nothing new here and our answers have still not changed.

No child grew independently and every child grew up questioning and verifying everything he has seen and known.

Every child even checked whether their parents and siblings are their parents and siblings and you know the outcome.

So, there is no need repeating questions that have already been overflogged with answers.

Children born in Christian homes have turned Muslims and children born in Muslim homes have turned Christians. It is all an exercise of choice and preference

Roycemadeit:
THE PROBLEM WITH EDEN, ADAM AND THE ANIMALS

Genesis says God brought the animals to Adam, and Adam named them. Every creature got a name. Adam was basically the first man with a clipboard.

“Gajdn.”

“Elont.”

“Giopfe

Let us assume Adam spoke Hebrew. Fine. But the Bible never gives us Adam’s full animal list. Somewhere in heaven, there may be a missing document called: “Adam’s Original Names...

Who cares? Did we not come and meet this animals with names already?

Abeg, find something profitable to use my brain for.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Roycemadeit:
[
Then there is Eden. Adam lived among the animals, but Genesis never tells us how many animals were there, where the garden ended, there should have been a border right? or whether animals could leave. Personally, I think that's where we'll find unicorn, griffin and other animals in Harry Potter.work.
Adam gets expelled. But what about the animals? Did the Elont say, “I’m staying. The rent is free”?

Again, who cares?
When a person is evicted and ejected does he care whether the rats and wall geckos are also evicted? No.

Another waste of brain use.🤣🤣🤣

Roycemadeit:
[
Then Noah’s Canoe arrives. Suddenly animals from everywhere must gather for the flood. But Genesis never explains how the Eden animals connected to the Ark animals, or how they later spread across the world. Personally, I think God confused their looks instead, that's why we have Leopards in Africa and Cougars in America.

That is a lot of travel for creatures that learn to build and paddle a submarine.😂works...

Again who cares?
Do animals not migrate abi dem need passport and visa?

Another waste.🤣🤣🤣

Roycemadeit:
Then the flood covers the mountains. The waters remain for a long time and then evaporated within two winks. Noah sends out a raven, then a dove. The dove returns with a fresh olive leaf.

That is the real miracle.

Not just surviving the flood, finding a living olive tree afterward. Vegetation doing well after Forty days underwater? That tree needed nothing more than faith even chlorophyll and photosynthesis was subsidized.

And the dove is not the problem. Doves eat seeds, insects too but I think it lost knowledge of what to eat because he ignored insects in the ark but went after a leaf. a leaf from a tree, how did the tree survive? Who photosynthesied it?

[b][color=#990000] Don't read this funny, these stories are a complete history of humanity and animal life, they explain how the biology actually works.

Yet again who cares?
As long as mosquito still dey bite us and if we go outside we go get better goat chop and fresh water leaf to take follow the goat, e no concern anybody. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did na anoda cowu thread 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dtruthspeaker, this one no follow. 😂 You said an immoral parent cannot raise a moral child, then you brought up Abraham, David, Solomon and Moses to show that children can turn out differently from their parents or learn from people who aren't their biological parents.

You have already contradicted your own argument. A child can learn good behaviour from people, observe the consequences of bad behaviour, or simply reject what a parent teaches. Children are not photocopies of their parents o.

And this claim that a child who differs from their parents must have chosen to be different is another assumption. Children don't choose their parents, upbringing or every circumstance that shapes them. People develop through a combination of influences and personal choices.

Your examples actually support my point. Try to comprehend first

See, how you keep missing and shifting post?🤣
You have departed from the point to talk about the child training himself whereas your statement is about that "an immoral parent can train a child to be moral" which I say, it cannot happen

Roycemadeit:
Vdestro, Dtruthspeaker, una dey complicate a simple matter. 😂 How do you have a Father and a Son but no mother? Now you're telling me God is not gendered, yet the Bible consistently refers to him as He, calls him Father, and even describes him with white hair and a beard in Daniel 7:9. Does a woman grow a beard like that?

Genesis 1:27 says God created man in his image. If we're taking that literally, does God have a penis too? 😂 Or is it only the parts that suit the argument that resemble God?

And remember Genesis 2. God created Adam first, then decided it wasn't good for him to be alone, so he made a woman from his rib. The woman comes later as a solution to Adam's loneliness, remember God is the ancient of days, and must have experienced extreme loneliness.

Help yourself understand this family arrangement. God is Father, Jesus is Son, Mary is the human mother, but there is no divine mother. God should have got Joseph pregnant, that would be more divine... God is supposedly beyond gender, yet the language and imagery used to describe him are overwhelmingly male.

If all these are metaphors, then say they're metaphors. But you can't insist that the language is literal when it supports your theology and suddenly symbolic when somebody starts asking questions. Una theology get exemption for everything. 🤣

You are just repeating yourself and committing the fallacy of argument in a circle.

I have answered you that because you are made of plastic and rubber like a mannequin you fallaciously think your Creator must be made of plastic and rubber..

This is the fallacy of non sequitur (or a faulty generalization /hasty generalization),

As an obiter, On women with beards, this thread already answers you.
https://www.nairaland.com/6227264/ladies-beards-harsh-wicked#95642096

All in all, this just proves how Fallty and flawfull your reasoning and argument is, hence why you are repeating yourself. You don't have any reasonable or valid argument to make 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

vdestro:
Even Google has answered you saying

"No, "father" is not a gender; it is a familial title and parental role"

For even women have referred to themselves as the father of their children as Tonto dikeh first did with her son.

Whether male, female or even thing, father is usually used to refer to the one from whom a thing or person issues or issued or one who played a parental role .

Now I know you know this but because you are the author of corn fusion you come trying to murk things up.

For is Michael Faraday not referred to as the Father of Electricity? Meaning Electricity is the son? Does anyone go asking where is the wife na? Since there is father and there is son, there must be wife na?

Or Hippocrates the father of medicine, so where is the wife na? Since according to you where there is a father and a son, there must be a wife?

Or the Egyptian female Pharaoh Hatshepsut who referred to herself as King and as a Father to her people so where is the wife na? Since she is father and the people her children, so there must be wife?

Or the tree that produces children which we call fruits, why are you not looking for its wife?

Or that question in our exam papers that has children and grandchildren so we should also look for the wife that birthed them na?

See how ridiculous this is? That's how you look.

For all of these things show instances where there are father and son yet no wife and no body is making an issue out of them.

But when it comes to God, you all throw your sense away and start reasoning in a very ridiculous manner.

Hmmm! This is beautiful. Better oil dey your engine

It is how mothers show their daughters what would they would do to them if the girls dare to disobey them.

This is how and when they take full control of the girl. They also use this to make the girl accustomed to pain so that instead of her to see pain and run, the girl will think that she can endure it

Also the pain makes the girl wicked so that she too will be used to dishing out pain

HappyPagan:
Still not back. Still the greatest lie ever told.

He does not need to hurry. That is what eternity means. This is exactly like Elias having the earth make e soak well well let people over drown in their ways and make your moves till they are tired, then God can begin doing His Own, so you people won't be able say that you did not have enough time to do your own.

So enjoy your time because when it's time for God to do as He likes, there is no space and time for you to do your own

As we say life is turn by turn. Who laughs last na him winl

Blue86:
What do these children know? After the Lord has cleared the spiritual atmosphere for them, they are know squaring up shoulder blades. Pregnant women could not look at the king, they miscarry. A king could just point at a woman, and that was it. Ogbanje and emere were rampant. People were birthing children for evil spirits and marrying mammy water left and right. The ancestral deities that couldn’t save them from slavery but enabled people to be sold to slavery by providing powers that erases the memory and make people docile so that they could be captured. What do they know?

Oh brother you remember well well.

And this thread is even to point out that God also saved humanity physically. A fact that Christians also need to point out and emphasize that God saved mankind physically too in addition to the over emphasized spiritual salvation.

People never knew that.

Blue86:
Much of the people clamoring for ancestral worship and whatever could have been the sacrificial lambs to buried along side noble men and chiefs alive, if the faith of our Lord didn’t happen.

Let’s talk about the ban of eating eggs in some places because the proverbial tradition says children who eat eggs will become thieves.

India, pawpaw was forbidden by the law of the gods of the land one time, till they found out by scientific observations that many got blind for lack of eating it.

Yes ooo. Ah! I have not remembered the bold since 80 something. Also, how nights were greatly dreaded as bad things always happened at night. It was at night a person would sleep and not wake up. Even to visit your friend at night was very scary then and all the juju rituals of murdering peop0le were done at night like Oro.

Today because of God and Christianity people can even travel from Ibadan to Lagos at 11pm. In those days it was only newspaper's pick ups who did and the drivers and passengers were always thoroughly afraid even though they were using juju to do it.

Yet some people were asking why did God not help humanity?

vdestro:
And yet some be8s^ts would come and say God has done nothing for them.

They even say nothing for humanity when in fact the present free lives they now have all came from what God has done

Insurance companies in Nigeria started 419 in the 70s
They always look for one flimsy excuse not to pay their depositors.
That is the evolution of 419 in Nigeria.

Up to the 90's sef. And they too caused disasters. Can't forget how they stole my neighbour's brand new beatle in front of his office at Apapa 2 weeks after he bought it like juju and it was never found.

And if you remember, throughout that time it was only brand new cars that were stolen. People now tried parking the new cars at home so armed robbers followed them home and told them to give them the keys and vroom moto don go never to be seen again.Even Anini stole brand new cars. People

When strange things happen somebody is making then happen. Insurance company is a robbery business and they are create insecurity to get business

vicoloni:
Not true. I had a car accident in dec 28 2024 and by Jan 17 2025 my insurance company paid me and I was able to get a better car. Insurance is good not just in Nigeria!

First you must be talking about about not here in Nigeria and, if here, then you are just a person they want to use to deceive your neighbours.

Common warranties, companies do not find it easy to keep is it now to replace your car.

And anyway, if you could pay premiums for your car, it means you could have bought the better car they gave you if you really wanted it after all the premium for the better car is definitely going to be better. So, already you are rich and so you can be careless and dash insurance companies your monies for them to cover your carelessness.

Stephen0mozzy:
All of you up there are citing the PROBLEMS. What solutions are you proposing?

Nor be everytime complaining about institutions, how do you think we can change the narratives?

People all over the world enjoy a working insurance industry. Dem nor swear for us.

Insurance is a scam. It does not satisfy reason why I should pay someone to pay for my personal liabilities if those liabilities occur naturally..

And by nature, disasters do not easily fall on a person, so it is very suspicious that a person would go into insurance business. Na im dey cause the disasters
