StrongAlphMale: This is exactly why Nigeria urgently needs Peter obi to rescue this country from these criminals who are hell bent in collapsing Nigeria.
All these rubbish will end as soon as Obi is sworn in as the president of Nigeria next year!
Peter Obi cannot stop the very process he was allied with. Peter Obi was once a PDP and ate from the same plate that thieves ate from. Peter Obi cannot stop corruption and besides he is just one man. One man cannot do shit. Do you think it will cost Tinubu or Atiku anything to cast Peter Obi? The elections will most definitely be rigged and all you Zombidients cannot rig on behalf of Peter Obi, na to jux dey make noise and matching nomadically.
Nigerians are consumerist. Slowing down demand will help with addressing inflation a bit but greater emphasis must be placed on the supply side issues we are facing. Nigeria is not producing but it is consuming, thus leaving us dependent on imports and forex cover.
All these kinda ladies should direct their curses to politicians. If men aren't stable they won't wanna marry. The simple truth
Add one more clause to that...if men aren't stable and they don't find a supportive woman they won't want to get married. Men have not always been rich before they get married. Many men get married when they find a woman who is willing to understand and provide support. Unfortunately many men are traitors who will forget their supportive wives when they become rich and many ladies want to reap where they did not sow...hence more and more men remain single.
constancefriday: Nigeria at 62: Nigerians are now fully awake and ready to change Nigeria. - says Apostle Constance C. Friday
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria turns 62 today.
Nigerians are now fully awake and aware of the power they have to transform their Nation, from a grassroot level and upwards.
By God's Grace, our various protests, civil rights campaigns and public awareness and enlightenment campaigns are yielding fruits. For years, it felt as though we were shouting at the wind, but by God's Grace, now the sleeping masses have fully woken up. There are barely any substantial amount of sleepers left for them to use. Their eyes now see the truth, and the truth that they see shall set them free.
Happy Independence Day; From Real Life Missions International.
Apostle Constance C. Friday Ani (Lead Pastor of RLGC)
Which Nigeria is awake? Coming from a so called Apostle shaming the church. Nigerians are still in deep sleep. Nigerians are divided along ethnic, religious and political lines. Nigerians are consistently committing great evil even when there are hundreds of churches and mosques all preaching morality. Nigerians are still asleep. Righteousness exalted a nation but sin is a reproach to any people. Nigeria stinks with reproach. It's sons and daughters are abandoning the country in droves. It's fathers and mothers are corrupt and have left a legacy of avarice, lies, materialism and immorality. It's men are deceitful, so are it's women. Paternity fraud is a norm exposed by social media. If not for social media who would have know the extent of evil committed by immoral men and women? In business they cheat, steal, harass, demean, degrade and even murder just to be able to flaunt Ill gotten wealth. It's leaders are bereft of any of desire to lead but crave power to oppress, to control and to enslave. Is it this Nigeria you claim have woken up? Apostle sir, even you, you are asleep. In that your church one can easily pull out 30% of your congregants that are neck deep in immorality, deception, lies and materialism.
"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven...and heal their land"
You live with your wife and the maid. One Saturday morning, your wife goes to the market. A while later, you go to take a bath to go out. The maid also takes the opportunity to go and bath in her own bathroom.
Whilst you two were in your bathrooms, madam comes back home to pick her phone she forgot. Then the doorbell rings. Remember, you are bathing, but didn't know your maid is also taking her bath, so you continue with no worries and your wife was all along on the bell.
Not understanding why the maid is yet to get to the door, you tie your towel, your curved tool making a bulge in the towel, you rush out of the bath and head to the door.
Getting to the living room, you find the maid already opening the door with wrapper tied to her chest, sumptuous bossom popping through the lightly wet wrapper tied to her chest, curvaceous buttocks seeming bare in the very light ankara.
Madam enters and sees the maid wet with wrapper tied around her chest, and you, oga, also wet with towel tied around your loins...
Madam looks at you weirdly and asks what was going on, and why it took so long for both of you to show up, in that compromising state, and together. Now, your wife doesn't know what we know and willing to listen to explanations.

Bradford111: There is this my guy that my current girlfriend always hug whenever they see, I knew her in my previous neighborhood she and the guy still stays in the neighborhood this as been a norm even before I dated her I knew she hugs him…,
But I’m starting to get jealous and thinking of telling her to stop with the hugs
Is it a right thing to do
Oga getting jealous is useless. You had better be a man and define the terms and conditions of the relationship. If you don't like guys hugging your woman tell her now and let her know it is a deal breaker. If she obeys and resists from such, fine. But if she refuses know that are in a relationship with a public toilet.

Clergymen need to start joining only certified virgins in holy matrimony. Imagine all the experimentation on a single lady's body. Her husband is somewhere working like a donkey preparing for marriage while the foolish girl is busy distributing her hole generously.
Its true violence against women is a crime but when a woman is so addictive to insulting, causing provocation, emotional imbalance, how do you manage it without unleashing your anger or make mistake?
is there law against women insulting or causing provocation.
Mature minds please
That's toxic femininity for you bro. They run their mouth and expect you to internalise it. In the end they make you lose your sanity and when you act they deem you a beast. My advice to you is to tell her that you cannot take her toxicity. Next, if she will not repent, report her to her family. If she still doesn't repent, report her to respected persons. If after all this she still runs her mouth I will advice you to stay away for sometime for the sake of your sanity. Nevertheless bro, be sure you are not the one provoking her oh.
Story! As long as Tinubu is contending against Atiku there will be violence. The same way criminal elements were recruited to violently disrupt the EndSars protests and to delegitimize peaceful protesters so also will both parties deploy their underground army to do their bidding ahead of the elections. Peace is the last thing that will characterize the 2023 elections. I pity the fools going out to vote. They will practically be sacrificial lambs in 2023.
So,there you have it! Those of you who insisted this man (Obi) was bringing anything new to the table.I'm waiting for you to defend this.
I have said this,he and his supporters will score many own goals prelude to the election. This is just one of many to come.
The fools in this political game are those taking sides. These politicians are all the same and they are not on anyone's side. They are all making empty promises and lying through their teeth. None of them has the strength of character and will to dare the enemies of Nigeria and bring about change. None. This is why I am boycotting the elections. I will sit at home with my juice and watch politifools kill each other over polithieves who will immediately become yes men or tyrants as soon as they get into power.
ManofgodJnr3: Lawyers Or Pastors In The House, Come And Defend This Case
Morenikeji, a 42 year old woman who comes from a wealthy family got married to Dotun 12 years ago. But unfortunately the marriage was childless. Apart from coming from a wealthy home, Morenikeji also has a very good job, while Dotun is just a civil servant.
About 8 years ago, Morenikeji decided to buy a land and informed Dotun about it. Dotun suggested that they should buy the land in the name of the child they hope to have one day. They agreed on a name and bought the land with the name, and Morenikeji built a very beautiful house on it.
That was how Dotun encouraged Morenikeji to buy many other properties in the name of the unborn child.
Dotun died in a car accident 2 weeks ago, and Morenikeji got the shock of her life when a woman came for the burial with 2 children that belongs to Dotun.
The first child is almost 9 years old, and he bears the name Dotun gave Morenikeji's unborn child. The same name on all the properties which Dotun encouraged Morenikeji to buy. Dotun's family are now trying to claim all the properties from Morenikeji.
You are consulted by Morenikeji. What are her chances in this situation?
This is a true life Story. In KETU Mile 12 Lagos
This is why I am always paranoid around people! There is no evil under the sun that mankind is not capable of.
Johnnyjohnnyman: Good day all. I have posted exactly 2 months ago concerning my fourth child I went ahead with the DNA test unfortunately I am not her father.
Right now a lot of things have been going through my head i am shattered and depressed.
I don't know yet what is going to happen in my marriage I just don't know if the marriage will work or not.
I just wanted to keep you updated about the DNA.
Previous thread:
If her legs can open for a colleague in a two month period, you can be rest assured that her legs will keep opening henceforth. Sorry bro. Take heart. Reveal the matter to your wife and ask her to inform the real father of the child about his responsibility. Involve your family and her family so that they are aware of the development and can work towards resolving the matter. Sorry. This is the kind of disaster that some of us pray never to encounter in marriage.
Wittyglam: Hi everybody, thank you so much for always coming through. Most of you really give amazing advice in here. (2mins read).
Someone reached out to me for help. She has been married for 6years now and blessed with 3kids, two boys and a girl. Here is the issue, her husband needs more kids and she has told him No on several occasions. You might be wondering why she said No…
They’re not finding it easy to feed, they’re having an hard time sending their kids to a proper school, she is working to also settle bills but her husband doesn’t care he just wants more kids. They have debt and she is trying to make him understand her reasons.
They have had meetings with families but he refused. He reported her to the church and she gave her reasons, she doesn’t want to bring more kids they can’t afford to take care of now. If things get better they can have more but he refused.
Now, the man is asking for a divorce if she doesn’t want more kids and he can’t take care of the three kids he has already. She is confused at this point because she can’t afford for the kids by herself and it’s a risk for them to have more kids.
She has begged him to understand by he doesn’t want to and if she agrees to have more kids with their situation it will affect her a lot. She sometimes has to beg relatives to feed.
If she was your sister what will you advice her to do? Forgive any typography errors you come across.
Report the matter to a respected clergyman. Report the matter to his family. Report the matter to GOD. If symptoms persist after 1 week, run ohh...he could rape you and force to commit murder in the name of abortion. Sorry madam, you succeeded in marrying your enemy.
A lot of hypocrites on this platform are forming mature. If a person who used to communicate with you regularly cuts you off for 9 weeks that person obviously no longer needs you in his or her space. So it is natural to grant that person the space he or she needs. Some of the funny commenters here will even file for divorce sharp sharp!
SerendipityHIGH: I travelled for a few weeks and have been in the East since then.
I intentionally stopped calling or chatting all my girls.
I wanted to rate their level of interest in whatever relationship/ situationships we have.
Note: I left them to initiate the chats or calls themselves.
MY FINDINGS
80% of relationships/ friendships with women will die once the guy stops calling.
Many called in the first week.
One called till 4th week and hasn't called for 16 days now. She used to visit me weekly before.
Only one still kept in touch till date.
She billed me too but I avoided it to access her reaction. She kept her cool.
I have planned to reward her upon my return.
ASIDE: This reminds me of a girl I met at BRT going to Ikeja. She works at Computer villa.
I took her number. We chatted once in a while and I have sent her data and airtime on few occasions.
I intentionally stopped contacting her and she never did. I deleted her number 2 months after.
I suspect this might be happening because I don't reveal my identity to them because I always want things to flow organically and also to avoid raising high expectations of me.
Sorry, were you expecting them to keep kowtowing to you forever? You are not married to any one of them and you clearly do not have any intentions of doing so and those ladies are very much aware of that thus making them your bed mates and as soon as you are nowhere near them to share a bed they move to the next available bed mate. Hire purchase and downright payment are two different things bro!
Sunnyshinylight: I have come across so many sisters and I have tried to interview them about how they take care of their private parts, many don't get that a woman is supposed to take care of her private part always, at least two times every day, washing it and cleaning out everything that will cause bad odour coming out from Inbetween their legs.
I have had big aunty separated from their husbands and I asked them what happened, they tell me, they always have to force their husbands to sleep with them, and it's always completely impossible task, because he will be covering his nose, he will be asking them for them to use their hands and insert his dick, on so many occasions he prefers using condoms, which to them is very insulting and they wonder if he trusts them or is suspecting them.
But you know I have asked them this all important question for women, " how do you take care of your private part"? And they are like, how? Is there any special way of taking care of what every man is dying to have?
I said to them aunty, do you realize the amount of bad aromatic discharges that's oozing out of your vagina if it's not properly washed and clean, they are like, I should get out, whether are they going for beauty pageant?
Many marriages are like this, they force their man to be enduring what he's supposed to enjoy.
Dear sister please take care of your private part, it's not only a place for sex and attractions, it's your temple of HOLINESS, remember girls if you abuse your private part not just by not washing it, by fucking around, you will surely regret it for ever, I mean ever more, let no one deceive you, life works by principles not by miracles.
Den go hear word? Na to jux dey spread leg at the slightest stimulus. If ladies preserve their virginity more and more men will be forced to into being faithful but ladies will always spread their legs once they see small change, drink one bottle of malt or eat one plate of rice. Some will spread legs based on very stupid promises.
Kobojunkie: 1. According to Jesus Christ, Citizenship in the Kingdom of God belongs only to those who are born-again. The Thief on the cross was not of Jesus Christ's Kingdom of God but of the Old Covenant. And according to the Old Covenant, the unrighteous dead are to perish in their graves whereas the righteous dead are instead to sleep in their graves until the time of the resurrection when God will rule as King over the Land - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20.
* As Jesus Christ described in the parable/story he told in Luke 16, Paradise, the idea is not of the Kingdom of God but of the Old Law of Moses. And as such cannot be in the Kingdom of God where only those who are, again, born-again, can enter into.
* Also, Jesus Christ did not baptize any one of His disciples. He instead washed their feet, and the meaning of what He did is clearly explained in the context of the passage from which you lifted this idea from. So, if you believe Jesus Christ magically baptized the thief on the cross with magic water and then got Him born of Spirit, this without His eating the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, then I see you trying yet again to rewrite even Jesus Christ as well.
* Again, according to the story/Parable told by Jesus Christ of Paradise, it is a place of Death where the righteous and unrighteous dead of the Old Covenant Law of Moses go to await final processing. There is no direct or indirect link from this to the Kingdom of God(Eternal Reward(Heaven) and Eternal Damnation(Hell/Hellfire)) provided in the story/parable for anyone to assume a link between the two, and there is no mention of the New Jerusalem spoken by the prophets to be of the place of Death.
2. a. John the Baptist himself explained the purpose of Baptisms in Matthew 3 vs 7 - 11 and Jesus Christ added that it was necessary in order to enter into the Kingdom of God where Heaven(Eternal Reward) and Hell/Hellfire(Eternal damnation) are both domains in - John 3 vs 1 - 8 b. John spoke of what Jesus Christ would do which is baptize His followers in the Holy Spirit and fire, not water.
c. Baptism of water simply marks one for being born-again, however, all those who will end up in Eternal damnation(Hell/Hellfire) in the Kingdom of God are all of them also born-again.
You quoted Luke 16. I read the two parables in that verse and still do not see how Paradise was a construct of the old covenant. Lol. You really need to meditate over the scriptures and not merely read it like another textbook. The location, Abraham's bosom, which was referenced in the verse Luke 16, is a waiting place in Hell for the saints and that was the location Jesus went to to preach good tiding to the saints, free them and offer them to the Father as a first fruit offering. I do not intend to convince you oh. I am not the Holy Spirit but I trust He will reveal all truth.
Kobojunkie: 1. If? Look, in order to understand what comes next, you must first accept the truth of what is stated. That is how comprehension/understanding typically works, right? You are told that Jesus Christ was in the grave for 3 days counting from the day that He spoke to the thief on the cross, meaning that Jesus Christ was most definitely not in Heaven on the day that He promised the thief that He would be in paradise. Hence Heaven is not the same as Paradise... simple!
2. Your understanding of the law is definitely faulty here, this since the New Jerusalem is not in the place of Death, the grave where Jesus Christ was in for 3 days before His resurrection. I suggest you please scrap all that you have there and start over learning these things. This time allowing that which is written to in fact speak for itself.
Lol. Your body is not you. Your body is just an operating system that allows you interact with the natural world. Jesus existed before He was born na. Jesus left His body in the tomb and went to the lower parts of the earth, Hell, the preach good tidings to the saints (Ephesians 4:9, 1 Peter 3:19) and this was witnessed as the resurrection of the saints which many saw with their own eyes (Matthew 27:52-53). Jesus was at work even when His body was in the tomb, lol. The thief was admitted to new Jerusalem after death, the very same location Jesus said He was preparing for His disciples (John 14:2-3). I am not rewriting the bible. The mysteries of God will not be written plainly in the scriptures and that is why you must search the scriptures for the treasures of truth and knowledge buried in it (John 5:39).
Kobojunkie: 1. Who was it that Moses is written to have seen? Don't be in a rush to add your ideas or explain away that which is written. That is a terrible way to approach comprehension. Instead, let that which is written speak to you instead. 2. You do so by twisting that which is written into what is not. 3. Who are you told in scripture that Abraham encountered? 4. I am not trying to prove anything to you but simply pointing out that rather than twist scripture, and rewriting the story told, you should pay more attention and heed to what is written as is written. God does not need anyone to lie on His behalf, so don't be in a rush to explain it all away as though you defend God by there what are lies.
Lol. I am not twisting the scripture and I am not forcing you to accept my exegesis. I am merely stating my belief and why I hold those beliefs. If you are given to prayer you will investigate just as I will also investigate. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter while it is the glory of kings to reveal it. God concealed many mysteries in the scriptures and it is the responsibility of God's noble children to reveal the mysteries of scripture and this means we have to keep challenging what we think we know or believe in the place of meditation and prayer. So I am not stating my beliefs to convince you rather I am merely stating what I found in the place of meditation. I could be wrong so I keep pressing to know more.
Kobojunkie: For the umpteenth time, to the thief on the cross, Jesus Christ spoke of Paradise, an idea which is of God's Old Covenant Law of Moses - Luke 16 vs 19 - 31 and Deuteronomy 30 vs 15- 20 - and not the Kingdom of God nor Heaven which one cannot enter into except one is first born-again. You are conflating a location with dominion. Paradise is a location. The Kingdom of God is a citizenship status. Just as you can be an American resident in Nigeria so also you can be a member of the Kingdom of God and not be in Heaven or Paradise. Can you reference anywhere in the so called "old covenant law" where "paradise" is mentioned or an idea? I believe that at the promise of Jesus, to the thief, Jesus baptised him in the HolyGhost right there on the cross before he died just as He did His disciples (John 20:22) before Pentecost. So if you think the thief did not go to Heaven (where Paradise is located) then where did he go? And tell me what qualifies a person to go to Paradise and not Heaven? And tell me, how is Paradise different from new Jerusalem? And also tell, what qualifies a person to go to Heaven, Paradise or New Jerusalem?
You can easily figure this out for your own self by considering the fact that Jesus Christ died that day but didn't ascend to Heaven until about a week or two afterwards.
So unless you consider Jesus Christ a man who lies sometimes, you will for sure accept His every word as God's Truth, Words which He even said will Last forever.
Also, it does not matter either you immerse yourself in water or you sprinkle it, as John the Baptist instead made clear, the importance of the ritual is instead the marking of a one to signify change from following of the Old Way to instead following the New Way - Jesus Christ. Can you then explain the purpose of the baptisms by Jesus? Why did John confess that Jesus will baptise in the HolyGhost and Fire? Why was the baptism of water not enough for the Ephesian Christians as Paul seemed to suggest? (Acts 19:3-6)? Can you answer these questions?
Kobojunkie: 1. So if no one has seen the Father we should instead believe that the one who gave Moses the Law was Christ? Are you for real? If no man has seen the Father then who gave the Law to Moses and who appeared to Abraham? Perhaps you know, share!
2. Wait a second... do you realize that by believing Jesus Christ is the one whom these men spoke to, you are attempting to rewrite the book of the Law itself? How am I rewriting the law?
3. Now "No man has seen the Father" is also twisted to mean " No man has encountered the Father"?
Abraham did not just encounter someone who judged Sodom and Gomorah, he saw Him? Who else can judge a nation but God? Who did Abraham see?
4. Jesus cannot be YHWH because Jesus Christ is a different and separate Law from YHWH.
You still haven't proven your point by reference to scripture or inspiration. You are just stating your belief. I would even entertain you proving your point by sharing an inspiration that is not necessarily directly deducible from scripture. But then if this is your belief, I respect it as is.
Kobojunkie: For the umpteenth time, to the thief on the cross, Jesus Christ spoke of Paradise, an idea which is of God's Old Covenant Law of Moses - Luke 16 vs 19 - 31 and Deuteronomy 30 vs 15- 20 - and not the Kingdom of God nor Heaven which one cannot enter into except one is first born-again. You can easily figure this out for your own self by considering the fact that Jesus Christ died that day but didn't ascend to Heaven until about a week or two afterwards.

Also, it does not matter either you immerse yourself in water or you sprinkle it, as John the Baptist instead made clear, the importance of the ritual is instead the marking of a one to signify change from following of the Old Way to instead following the New Way - Jesus Christ. - Matthew 3 vs 7 - 11
If the bolded statement is true then where did Jesus go when he told Mary Magdalene not to touch him? Jesus told her not to touch Him because He is yet to see the Father? But this same Jesus allowed Thomas touch His hand and side? Jesus indeed went to Heaven to offer the feast of first fruits before the Father which was according to the law 3 days after the passover sacrifice. Although the scriptures did not explicitly state the time table of events but I believe, from an understanding of the law and prophets and from the accounts of the apostles that immediately Jesus said it is finished, He took the thief to paradise (new Jerusalem), next He went to the depths of Hell to get the keys to death and hell and to free the saints waiting for the sacrifice of the LORD Jesus and next He showed Himself to the Father with the souls He set free (first fruits) and returned to earth to show Himself before men to prove that He is arisen and that He is the second Adam (fully man yet fully God).
Kobojunkie: ▪︎Jesus Christ did not give the Law to Moses. Instead God, gave the Law to promise. ▪︎ Jesus Christ was bound to the Law because He was also born of the seed of Jacob/Israel and so was obligated to live by the Law much the same way everyone born of Israel is ▪︎ ...
Jesus said no man has seen the Father. So who did Moses see on mount Sinai when he went to receive the commandments written by the finger of God? Who did Abraham entreat about Sodom and Gomorah's destruction? If no man has seen or encountered the Father in anyway save the Son and the Spirit of God remained unseen throughout the law and the prophets then the only part of the God head manifested to man is Jesus and this is also evident in the verse: Isaiah 48:16
Dtruthspeaker: You did not answer the question let me put it in another way, the question is "DID CHRIST FOLLOW THE LAW When you say "Our passover sacrifice is the LORD Jesus Christ/we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink His blood"?
I believe that the answers would be either "Yes He Did" or "No. He did not"!
Yes He did na. Did you read my posts at all? It can be inferred from all that I typed. The law was given by the LORD Jesus to Moses and He, Jesus, is bound by His word to fulfill it. So yes, Jesus fulfilled the law.
Dtruthspeaker: When you say "Our passover sacrifice is the LORD Jesus Christ/we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink His blood", is that not us not still following The Law which God gave Moses, to be A Law Forever?
No jot or tittle will pass from the law and prophets without it being fulfilled (Matthew 5:18). Those were the words of Jesus Himself. Now if the law and prophets are to be FULFILLED then it means the law and prophets will at any point in time be in two states. The first state is the state of PROPHECY and the second state is the state of FULFILMENT. Now on the passover, the PROPHECY was the act of killing lambs and eating their meat as a sin offering but the FULFILMENT is the sacrifice of the LORD Jesus Christ and the eating of His flesh and drinking of His blood as a sin offering. So the question is would you live in the light of the PROPHECY or in the light of the FULFILMENT? If like the Jews, you don't believe in Jesus then you are living in the prophecy but if you believe in Jesus then you live in the fulfilment of prophecy. So yes, the law of the Passover is forever but in two states, the prophecy and the fulfilment. It's up to you to decide in which of the two states you want to live in.
marvelck: Imagine you are married to a man whose sidechic is this sexy and beautiful, what would you do?
Sidechics are known to have this edge over married ladies ..and it has to do with their appearance. That's why they spend a lot of money to look good and sexy all the time. Like the girl in the pictures below, some are naturally sexy, while others go for plastic surgery to enhance their backside and curves. And they do all this, just to catch and keep another woman's husband....
That's why married women need to up their game as well. They should endeavor to maintain their looks and shape even after having kids. Cos majority of married naija men have longer throat for fine sexy ladies
If you like expand your yansh and blow up your boobs if your husband is a cheat he will find a side chic. You cannot be sexy enough for a serial cheat. Ladies stop marrying men that cheat una nor go hear word. Una go dey cry "I love him, I love him" until the guy beat sense commot for una head.
MaxInDHouse: It is very very necessary (if you're opportuned) you must get baptized as in water immersion in the presence of multiple witnesses who will attest to it that you've dedicated your life to God through Christ's teachings and symbolized it by water immersion (baptism) Matthew 28:19
All must take in the accurate knowledge of God first. Both thieves executed beside Jesus knew him very well that's why they attested to the fact that Jesus is a miracle worker but only one of them is prepared to obey Jesus as King!
But the thief was not baptised. It was armed robbery that took him to the cross. If baptism was necessary and the theives were baptised they won't be on the cross for armed robbery unless you want to say that after baptism na to begin rob immediately. The thief was not baptised but he was granted entry into paradise. If baptism by immersion was that important so many Christians today would be Christians indeed...but we all see how folks who claim to be baptised are still perpetrating horrible acts of the flesh. Like one of my teachers used to say, if you go into the baptismal pool as a sinner you will come out as a wet sinner. The water does nothing. Who would you follow? John the Baptist or Jesus Christ? John baptises with water unto repentance but Jesus will baptise you with the HolyGhost and with Fire. If you like get soaked in water 1000 times if you are not baptised in the HolyGhost you will weigh as much as a tipper of sand when the trumpet sounds.
SanctifiedSista: The Bible says u shall know the truth and it will set u free Therefore if u are yet to do adult baptism,run to any living Faith church winners chapel near you and make enquiries A word is not enough for the wise Think am lying? Go and buy the book Newness of Life by bishop Oyedepo and learn U won't be denied entry to heaven cause of ignorance, if u read this post, it means u know and allowed d devil deceive u that it's not important like Eve
Adult baptism, if by this you mean baptism by immersion, will not take you to heaven. The thief on the side of Christ did not do water baptism but Jesus promised him paradise. When Jesus said you have to believe and be baptised to be saved (Mark 16:16) He wasn't referring to water baptism necessarily.
You see, water baptism is the last doctrine of the law and the prophets because it was initiated by John the Baptist, the last prophet of the long line of prophets from Enoch. Jesus submitted Himself to be baptised because onus was on the LORD Jesus to fulfill the law and the prophets to prove He is the sinless lamb that takes away the sins of the world (as confessed by John himself).
Now we know that the doctrines of the law and prophets are types and shadows (Colossians 2:16-17) of things to come. So the natural question is, what was the baptism of John shadowing? What are those things to come at the time of John, that John's baptism preceded. Just as John was a herald of the LORD Jesus, so also was water baptism a herald of the something far far greater.
John the Baptist himself confessed:
Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Just as the passover sacrifice with lambs preceeded or heralded the sacrifice of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, the baptism of the HolyGhost and the baptism of Fire are the two baptisms that the baptism of water heralds or preceeds.
Now do we, as the Jews still following Moses, offer a lamb during the passover? No. Our passover sacrifice is the LORD Jesus Christ. Do we eat the roasted flesh of a passover lamb with bitter herbs as the Jews do? No, we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink His blood when we celebrate the passover (what some call "holy communion" ). Jesus Himself said concerning this, "my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed" (John 6:55).
In this same manner are we to judge the baptisms in the HolyGhost and Fire which are the fulfilment of the baptism by immersion in water. But these are just two baptisms but Jesus referenced three baptisms (Matthew 28:19). Well baptism in the name of Jesus is the washing by the water of the word of God (Ephesians 5:26). The baptism in the name of the HolyGhost is the total takeover of your consciousness by the HolyGhost (Acts 1:8 ) and the baptism in the name of the Father is the baptism that completely transforms one's essence/nature into the essence/nature of the LORD Jesus and the Father (Hebrew 12:29, Revelations 1:11-16). The baptisms in the word (Jesus Christ) and in the HolyGhost are easily attained before the rapture but many will not attain the third baptism, the baptism by fire, until the rapture (1 John 3:2) but a few will walk with God and attain it even before the rapture. Even now I believe there are people among us who are inching closer to the baptism of fire or have already attained it but are yet to manifest it on the orders of the LORD. I also believe that those who have attained the baptism of fire will not taste the corruption of death for they will be like Enoch and Elijah taken up by God straight to heaven.
So, don't get stuck on the baptism by immersion in water which is a shadow. You must be baptised in the Word, in the HolyGhost and in the Fire of the Father, if you must be pure enough to stand in the presence of the Father, the Son and the HolyGhost. Blessed are the pure for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8 )
AntiChristian: Sometimes, people are indeed honest enough to admit that the Bible really does not prohibit polygamy (polygyny). However, as a hedge against that admission, such ones may then resort to saying one of the following assertions:
"Yes, but God never condoned polygamy." "Yes, God allowed it, but He was against polygamy." "Polygamy was only man's idea, not God's". "Yes, but God never approved of polygamy."
The passage involving 2 Samuel 12:8 rather clearly reveals otherwise. "And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things." 2 Samuel 12:8.
The context of the verse is that of God, speaking through a prophet (Nathan), calling out David for David's sin of taking another man's wife (Bathsheba, wife of Uriah the Hittite), which is adultery indeed, and for setting up the death of Uriah the Hittite to try to hide David's sin.
Also, at the point in time of this situation, David had already been married to at least seven known-named wives. (1 Samuel 18:27, 25:42-43, 2 Samuel 3:2-5.)
But, in this verse 12 (above), God was not condemning David for all his wives! In fact, this verse 12 shows God Himself actually saying that HE was the One Who had GIVEN David His wives.
If God was against David's polygamy, He certainly would not have said that He had GIVEN David his wives.
But the LORD did not stop there. That verse 12 shows that the Lord took it even one step further than that! The LORD God even went on further to say that if David had wanted more wives, the Lord Himself said that He would have given David even more!
It was only because David had sinned, in committing adultery by taking another man's wife, and then causing that man's death to try to hide David's sin, that the Lord was calling him out through the prophet Nathan. There was no sin in the polygamy at all.
This is later confirmed that this was the only matter by 1 Kings 15:5, which says the following:
"Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. " 1 Kings 15:5.
Two verses before that, in 1 Kings 15:3, the Bible says that David's heart was perfect with the LORD God.
Very clearly, therefore, what all this shows is that God is the One Who gives wives, even when more than one wife.
This is, of course, confirmed by 1_Corinthians 7:17.
"But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches." 1 Corinthians 7:17.
Be it NO wife, ONE wife, or MORE THAN ONE wife, it is only has God calls and gives.
As such, it is clear that the Bible does, in fact, explicitly show
"Yes, God did condone polygamy." "Yes, God allowed it, and He was not against polygamy." "Polygamy is not a man's idea, but God's". "Yes, God did approve of polygamy." In 2 Samuel 12:8, He Himself said so!
When den wan lie den go post one million verses. God allowed Judah sleep with the very same woman (disguised as a LovePeddler) that Judah's first and second sons slept with. Read Genesis 38. So can we also say God allows you to sleep with the same woman your sons have passed among themselves after dying? Can we also say God condone you patronising prostitutes (afterall Judah did it but God didn't complain or punish him). Can you also sleep with your brother's wife after your brother passes on with no heirs. Can you do that particularly when you are already married? God condoned that too you know. God condoned Jacob marrying two sisters. Can you marry two sisters? God condoned that too, you know. Would you like to know some other things God condoned? Did you know God made Isaiah walk the streets of Jerusalem completely naked for 3 years? Can we say God condones nudity? Did you also know God condoned the mass extermination of the Amalekites? Everything including animals were to be slaughtered in Amalek. Can you go about slaughtering whole communities because God condoned it.
You are just depraved and seeking validation for evil and ofcourse you will easily find that validation (seek and ye shall find).
The just shall live by faith for there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding...for as many as are led by spirit of God, they are the sons of God...sons of God do not live by what God condoned or not in the past but by the inspiration of God on any matter, at any point in time and at any given place.
famozine1: Am really confused about this what part of human will born in hell the body, soul or spirit
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
At the white judgment throne, every dead soul will be resurrected to be judged in the flesh. The sea will give up their dead and hell will give up their dead. All will be resurrected to be judged and whosoever does not have his or her name in the book of life will be thrown into lake of fire. Spirit, soul and body dumped in the eternal lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
True! Moses did not see the face of the LORD Jesus Christ rather he saw his back and his glory. Yet Moses spoke with the LORD out of the Shekinah glory that shone above the tabernacle and above the mercy seat of the ark of covenant in the holiest part of the tabernacle.
funkmrflexx: Me and my wife had an argument this morning. God is all knowing and before creating Adam and even, He know what they would do. He knew they would be Tempted and they would eat the fruit and bring Sin to the world and He also knows that His son would have to die in order to save us from the sin caused by the fruit Why didn't He just make the fruit inaccessible to them so they don't eat it. But instead He Allowed them to get access to the fruit, eat and bring sin to the world.
Mind you, He's all knowing and He knows all this would happen before they did. He knew Satan would tempt them and they will fall, He also knew that He would have to curse them when they eat the fruit.
Why not just prevent this by making the fruit inaccessible to them. That's the logical thing to do
This is my belief. The tree of knowledge was planted as a wager between God and satan. God defended the obedience of his creation but satan threw his bet on man seeking independence from God so the tree was a test and man failed. And since that failure man has sought to do what is right in their own eyes and not the will of God. God knows all things hence He sees all the possible timelines of any entity. Hence it is just for God to allow free moral agents to choose which timeline they would like to live and face the consequences. So if you are arguing within the Judeao-Christian worldview it is perfectly logical for God to be all knowing and yet watch Adam and Eve sin. A righteous judge does not advocate for whoever is to be judged. So even if God sees all possible timelines, He as a judge must allow you to choose the timeline you would like to live and in the case of Adam, he chose to fall and he suffered the consequence.
