Christianity Etc › Re: Pastor And His Wife In Court For Beating Co-tenant With Plank by eleojo23:
With the increase in the number of pastors, people need to be careful who they follow and listen to.
Many of these so called pastors have not had the touch of God on their lives. It is possible for a child of God to make mistakes but there are certain things he will do that would show you that he has not surrendered himself for God to work upon him. He is still raw.
He is like a cake not turned - he has only experienced a little touch of divine grace. If such a person yields to the full touch of grace, his life will be like a well turned cake which everyone will want to eat of. People will be blessed when they come in contact with him.

Christianity Etc › Re: General Overseer & Wife Fight Dirty Over Church Ownership, Wife Floors Hubby by eleojo23:
My own concern in this whole thing is not even the fighting couple rather it is the fact that their members were so immature that they carried the matter on their head and took sides.

The name of the Lord is ridiculed among the gentiles because of churches(and Christians) like this.

Christianity Etc › Re: Fr Mbaka Shuts Adoration Ground Over Alleged Threat To Life by eleojo23:
If his claims are true, then all those who have been strong critics of GEJ would have been killed by now.

Also, if the threat is real, he should have made a report to the police.

He is most likely experiencing self-inflicted paranoia that comes from talking too much.

That boy does not know what is in front of him. I won't be surprised if he picks up those notes the next minute and begin to tear them apart.

But those notes are dirty though. I wonder how many hands they must have passed through and how much bacteria they have collected over time.

TV/Movies › Re: Gay Content In Hollywood Movies And Its Effect On Nigeria by eleojo23:
The hypocrisy in all of this is that most(if not all) of the people who promote homosexuality will not want to see their children turn out to be gays.

It will therefore be foolishness for anyone to buy an idea that even the sellers do not agree with deep down in their heart.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is It A Sin To Bet? by eleojo23: 9:18am On Mar 22, 2015
babyfaceafrica:
maybe the OP is satisfied I am not.Am not clear what you mean? Is gambling a sin or not? I will like a straigt forward answer,u said it leads to adiction wich is a sin, so if am addicted to eating chocolates does that mean that eating chocolates is wrong? Addiction is wrong and bad,but what makes you conclude that everybody that bets o gamble will be adictted,I believe that's a wrong generalization,its just like drinking and smoking,not every one is addicted to this things.If you say gambling is a sin , I ave no issues with it,but saying ones adiction to it makes it a sin is what I don concurr with,not everyboy is adicted to it.nice post though
Note that the OP specifically mentioned betting and I focused on his statement" I don't want to displease God''
That was why I used that example.

One can't categorically tag the word 'gambling' as sin.
We do a lot of gambling in life (making decisions and choosing lines of action)

Some things (such as betting) may not be outrightly bad but they can affect us negatively.

It is true that not everyone gets addicted to things but those who get addicted did not plan to get addicted when they started out and some addictions have more negative impact than others.

I consider it safe for him not to start (betting) because I've heard of more negative outcomes than positive ones.

haibe:
Mr man gambling is a very broad term, sport betting is only an area of gambling. Gambling is addictive when you are getting the right benefit, this is not just a case of sport betting, it applies to investment too.

The focal point is that greed and deceit should not be involved in our gambling as they are bad. But saying gambling in itself is a sin is pure ignorance as everyone gambles
The OP specifically asked about betting and I answered him based on that.
Look at the topic again (not the one on the front page). The supermod made the topic broader by changing it to 'gambling'.

I agree that life involves gambles but the case here involves putting one's money on the line repeatedly.
If someone looses all his money in betting (like the man in the example I gave), I'm sure even his fellow men will be displeased with him.

Politics › Re: APC Plans To Announce Fake Presidential Election Result – PDP by eleojo23:
If it is true that they are thinking of something like that, it goes to show that their interest is not to serve Nigeria. Rather it is for their own selfish gains.

Why would someone insist on rendering services that are not wanted?

If the people decide that they don't want your services by voting against you, honourably accept their choice.

To serve Nigeria is not by force.

okay smiley but it might be moved eventually.

Anyways the concept of it is never too late and don't be deceived that you got the whole time in the world sound contradictory?

if it is never too late to do anything, doesn't it mean you still have time on your hands to do what u wanna do?
I said that to avoid going to the extreme because tomorrow is not guaranteed.
The point being made is that no
matter the stage you are now, change
is still possible.
Right now you can choose differently and make something new happen. The future is immediate.
It's a call to forget all that has been lost and focus on the possibilities of the moment.
Is it still contradictory?

Politics › Re: Negative Campaigning In Nigeria. by eleojo23:
Do you know why they don't bother about intelligent manifestos? It's because we (as a people) like to fight dirty. Who cares about issue-based campaign? Just tarnish the opponent's image by all means and afterwards, go around town sharing indomie, money and bags of rice and the people will vote for you (after all, the masses are easily bought over by cheap stuff).

We really have a long way to go in this country.

The masses (electorate) must learn to look beyond negative propaganda and cheap gifts handed out by politicians.

That's the only way real and positive change will come, if not, we will keep dancing around in circles.
