Many times people have the wrong idea of God. They think he is some Santa Claus in the sky who grants the wish of every "little kid"out there.

Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Their mata don tire me Imagine 9 straight losses against Liverpool no draw self This one na club

E go kukuma be ten today because them no serious.

Jonasbadoo2:
Make dem no win this match I go swear for them
Go relegation una no go gree
Always bonus for big teams useless club

Guy, talk to me. Why you con dey para para for them?

Brighton has found goal scoring a serious problem this season.

Liverpool know how to grind out results regardless of their performance — stuff of champions if you ask me.

Brighton have a very poor record against Liverpool. I don't expect anything less than a win for Klopp's men.

kingxsamz:


Oga, you're just blowing unnecessary grammar.
You said one shouldn't judge the life of someone based on people's perspective but by this person's autobiography. And I'm asking you, WHERE IS THE AUTO BIOGRAPHY OF THIS god?

I'm surprised how you don't understand the illustration. You really want me to spell it out for you?

kingxsamz:


Lol, and where is the auto-biography of this god?

I really think you have to be really be informed about something before you pass disparaging comments about it.

Then you have to scrutinize how objective you are about your stance.

Amatarasha:
then forget it
And forget me telling u about who the Satan( Yahweh ) is !

I really don't think you have an informed and concrete idea who He Yahweh is.

Ehis Do it in the above thread Fearlessly

I'm really sorry but that thread is just a pandemonium. I can't even make sense out of the cacophony.

Amatarasha:
yes love , also stance on development of the earth

So, what's your stance on the development of the Earth? ( If you don't mind telling me)

Amatarasha:
hellyeah

So let me guess, you are antagonistic towards Christianity because of its stance on homosexuality?

Amatarasha:
shut up biko
Dumbson

Are you Lesbian? This one wey you take the matter personal.

Amatarasha:
you are lucky you aren't in that demonic thread
LESBIANISM isn't against nature or humans
But falsehood ( christianity ) is

Kiss the truth oone!!!

Going by your conjecture, I could make a case for bestiality.

I also find adultery and fornication wrong, JSYK.

What other thread is that?

eviana3:

You are welcome.
I know it's a lot, but I got a scripture passage the other day that reminded me of why I serve the Lord.....

Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee


Not because of "fear" of hellfire destruction or because of the joy of an eternal home, BUT because I love the Lord and what He did for me.
His love for me to endure this what I am quoting in this thread....enduring all of this for "little old me?" Loving me with an everlasting love, desiring to be reunited with me in perfection?
This is where sincere Christians need to dwell on...Christ' love for humanity....
Be blessed

Wait, are you sure you are not me?

The love and peace of God is unparalleled; I don't know how to explain it.

I am just in such a place where I want to walk in His fear and love not from eternal damnation.

I'm happy I know someone who can relate, really.

eviana3:
This is why the separation of church and state was so paramount.

I've learned to "never say never" about what a person will or won't do when backed into a corner or pressured by the majority...especially in the highest and most powerful position in the world.

It is very possible that those measures could be taken....implemented....or imposed. Religious liberty would then be under "assault".

So that would leave the Christian colleges and universities with a decision to make of two
choices:
1). Change the statement and overthrow their Christian conviction and religious liberty

2). Do not accept the change (due to religious conviction) and thereby lose accreditation...which affects the universities and students.

Sounds like a "3 Hebrew boys" (in Daniel 3) or "Daniel" moment could be possible for Christian universities...very serious.
It definitely gives one food for thought.

Sooner or later this will happen. As the time draws near persecution deepens and worsens and holding on to the faith becomes difficult.

It is getting difficult to be a true Christian in these times. But God is refining the faith of the elect and we have to let these trials have its full effect (easier said than done, though).

This is so overwhelming and eye-opening. Gracias, Eviana.

BeLookingIDIOT:

Two can play the game :
There is an invisible four legged blue eyed monster currently contemplating knocking your head.
Provide evidence to disprove my claims, sir?

On what premise have you made this claim?

It has to be logical and consistent to be considered true.

If it is on mine then it is still a fallacy.

kingxsamz:


When a group of people make up a character and attribute certain traits or personalities to it, is it illogical to examine/criticize this supposed character based on the claims made by these same group of people that made it up?

And also, let us know which god you're talking about, as every god worshipper claims that their god is perfect.

Would you rather judge the character and life of a man by reading his autobiography or by comments of people who claim to have read it?

Again, I'm saying if a perfect God exists, how do you think he would answer prayers.

kingxsamz:


Yes, I base my opinions based on what the worshippers of this god says it is, because the god itself isn't the one doing the talking, neither is it doing the explanations...


Which of the gods then?

You prejudice seems to have preceded their statements.

Seeing how crucial and relevant the question of his (non) existence is, does it not seem illogical to base the conclusions of the worshippers of this God as absolute with first checking the veracity of their claims with its constituted authority?

Secondly, I was asking about any God. Like a perfect God.

kingxsamz:


If a god like the Christian god exists, with all its characteristics and abilities ( as described by the Christians), then one wouldn't need to pray to it, and it'll work in order to fulfill the needs of people, since it knows their heart desires.
If you're omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent, there's no need telling you or begging you on what to do.

So you base your opinions of the Christian God solely on what they say he is and not what he is?

And my question wasn't really about Yahweh.

kingxsamz:

If you believe that your god wants you to be patient, it sees your heart and that it has a plan for you, then stop praying. It's as simple as that.
These are the same clowns praying for Trump's reelection.

Hypothetically speaking, if a God exists how else should he respond to prayers ?

Bacteriologist:


Damn it Christians are y'all really that dumb? Re read my last reply to you.

I do not have any obligation to provide evidence for your nonsensical claims. The onus is on you. Read this as many times as you need to.

I asked you to provide evidence against it. Or did you not understand my response?

It should be a walk in the park for you.

Oh, and I would be really disappointed if you fall short.

Bacteriologist:


That's not how any of this works bud. YOU provide evidence for claims YOU make.

Grow up and stop expecting me to babysit you. Own it.

Surely, you can indulge me by providing me sufficient evidence to disprove my "superstitious nonsense". That shouldn't be too hard now, should it?

Since you have concluded with all the evidence at your disposal that I have been indoctrinated with it.

Bacteriologist:


You did nothing to prove the authenticity of your claims.

You only just regurgitated some superstitious nonsense you have been indoctrinated with. Provide the evidence for your ridiculous claims and I might take you a tad more seriously.

Provide evidence to disprove my claims, sir.

As for the stereotype, you are absolutely wrong.

Bacteriologist:


The funny thing is; I could be praying to a stone or a dog and the possibile answers would be exactly the same three (Yes, No or Wait).

It doesn't still nullify the statement. God created the Earth and he does what he pleases and sees fit.

He's the God of all the Earth not just Christians but he's a Father to all who are in Christ.

So you did nothing to negate what was written.

flyingpig:
go and tell buhari to learn how to read first.

I guess, ad hominem arguments only seem logical on Nairaland. Besides, reading is different from comprehension, anyways. Fly Pi..

flyingpig:
So why weren't Diasporan Muslims subjected to likewise restrictions during Islamic festivities in Nigeria since inception of COBIK-1-9 ?

Na only for Christians hand una deey flex muscle with skewed claims of doing the right thing

All I'm asking is for you to read the article. Do you have a comprehension problem or are you just a troll?

flyingpig:
Anti-Christian Government

Why weren't diasporan Muslims subjected to similar bureucracies when they travelled down to Nigeria to celebrate Islamic festivities with family and friends?

Did you read the post at all? Or did you just read the headline and rush to display ignorance all over the thread?

It's a simple advice to curtail the spread of Covid-19 especially to Nigerians in badly hit countries.

Lalasticla.la, your headline is a bit misleading especially to prejudiced and ignorant minds.

Davash222:
Nonsense post as usual!

The only way to avoid SARS is to join the protest so we can end them completely.

Didn't you see that he included the police? It's not just about SARS but the military and para-milatary units in Nigeria.

A taste of power and they become drunken, lawless and reckless.

I try to comment as sparingly as possible on this protest because I know it would lead to nothing other than Ending SARS and mitigation in police brutality.

The protest is getting mixed up; there is no clear path or direction: many are even there to vent, for clout, idleness, for the fun of it, joblessness and worse still for political reasons.

To others who have been seriously dealt a huge blow by SARS, no words can console you and you have every right to protest and I support you a 100% but let's be patient and see what the outcome will be. SARS have been disbanded, let's see how the government responds.

Trust me, these protests won't last very long.

Nigeria problem is her people, not exclusively her leadership.

helinues:
You people will trespass so tey Buhari would have no choice than to send army on our streets..

Can't we wait for the outcome of the dissolution of SARS before any other protest?

This is getting stale

Guy, you dey even try dey reason people matter. Many are there for the thrill or the fun of it. The Nigerian government has even paid more attention to them than Donald Trump did to the BLM.

It's not even sensible to be protesting against a group that has been ended. Do you want the government to end the police or all tactical units in the force?

Anyways, Nigerians have had enough of police brutality, let them have their fill; they'd settle in a few days. SARS really had it coming.
