..... Question, a man with a clean heart that helps people, don't do evil but doesn't go to church and a pastor who claims to be born again but his church members are not getting anything from him in terms of financial or material assistance..... Between these too, who will heaven accept on the last day??

NIV:At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment.
2
NIV:He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.
3
NIV:One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
4
NIV:Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.
5
NIV:Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. Act 10:1-5

If you read the story further ,you will understand that the basis for making heaven is to accept Jesus christ into one's life not by given to the poor or by having a high moral life. Cornelius wouldn't have made heaven if he didn't accept christ into his life. If the clean heart and no evil doing is outside of Christ he cannot make heaven. And believe me no true Christian will also run away from church. Pastor is just a title, anyone who is not living by scriptural standard can not make heaven

Tokskob2008:

While I don't like teachers flogging their students for anything, you can't conclude it was because of the beating the boy died. It may be something else entirely and the beating just happened to be a coincidence of some sort...

In a school I worked last year, the proprietress specifically told the students that no teacher was allowed to use cane or any other form of punishment on them as a result of these the students became "over spoilt" to the extent of them placing a bet to see who could fumble a female teacher's breast in class and they did it. So tell me why you send kids to school if not to get disciplined and educated

I'm a Christian as well as a teacher and I have passion for the work and also the best in what I do. I once teach in a private school that made such rule, I can tell you I called the proprietress in a one on one meeting, I can't spare the rod, I can't allow spoil children to take over my class and I can't fail God but I'll give an account to him. You won't believe I was given the permission to caned with special caution though.

nairaman66:


Spare the rod, spoil the child!

Sparing the rod has led to high rate of moral decadence in our society, imagine that one that say they shouldn't beat his child. I wonder where our generation is heading to

Typicool8:
Too many senseless people on Nairaland.
Anyway from my point of view I think the boy died from something else not flogging because the whole class was flogged and so why is his own case different.
Meanwhile the hospital should conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death

Thank you my brother, I'm a teacher by profession and it's so terrible to link the death of that boy to the beating the class receives. It's sad we live in a world where Indiscipline rule our society, imagine so many comments on nairaland about teachers as if we too didn't passed through the same school. Anyway, by experience I've learnt to be given more of punishment than beating. But at the same time, may God protect one from the evil one

generalwo:
.... So if you don't help the poor and needy, how will you get your name written in the book of life

Helping the poor and the needy comes aftermath of salvation and can never be the basis of being saved or having your name written in the book of life.
Act 16

NIV:He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31

NIV:They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”


Ephesians 2:8-10

NIV:For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9
NIV:not by works(working in church, giving caring, morally good) , so that no one can boast.
10
NIV:For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Romans 10 :9-10

NIV:If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10
NIV:For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

In what way is beaten related to vomiting and sleeping. The parents are lying, they just want to implicate the teacher.

generalwo:
This pastor... Even if e dey do jazz... I sure say God go bless am and allow am enter heaven.... Because other men of God are busy buying fine shoes and building schools that the children of their congregation can't afford to attend....

Moral uprightness, giving etc can never ever take anybody to Heaven but only whose name is written in the book of life, those who have wash their hearts with the precious blood of Jesus and who have confess him and following him daily will make heaven

NIV:“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2
NIV:“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
3
NIV:But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4
NIV:so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Mathew 6:1-4

For the sake of next time brother, it's a wrong thing to start a relationship with money. It always end badly. Add value to yourself and you will find a woman who will appreciate you.

Polchiz:


I taught with my B.SC Biochemistry (2.1) for 3 years in a private secondary school. Salary was between 18, 000 - 20,000.

I had to do home lessons to push my earning to 30,000 naira/month.

I was determined to succeed in Biochemistry that no amount of negative stories and testimonies would deter me.
When I completed my M.SC, I continued teaching and was about to commence my PhD when this opportunity came.

I am working in Nigeria.

My point is that, diligence and the determination to succeed is what makes the difference.

Many great men did not study your so-called professional courses.

The former CBN of Russia studied Nuclear Physics.

Yea I comprehend everything you said

vikgreen01:


Fingers are not equal so they say. Two set of medical doctors, one is working in the federal/state hospital while the other in a private hospital. U can imagine the frustration of the one working in the private sector.
You’re doing well i believe the sky is the limit.

Well received, thank you

Polchiz:


You have to be careful. This is your destiny and nobody can advise you better than yourself.

Are you passionate about Biochemistry or you just want a discipline that can guarantee you a job?

Why did you study Biochemistry? What is your class of degree?

There are many opportunities for a Biochemistry graduate. However, nepotism in Nigeria MUST affect your chances:

If you graduated with at least a 2:1 and you are 25 years or below then you can easily secure a job in the following organizations if you are good enough to pass Aptitude test & interview:

i. Audit firms: KPMG, ERNST & YOUNG, DELLOITE, PWC
ii. Banks
iii. Food Industries: Nigerian Breweries (M.SC required), Nestle, International Breweries, Coca Cola, Guiness Nigeria
iv. Pharmaceutical Industries as Sales Rep

Alternatively, if you are connected and know a big man in government:
i. Research Institutes (We have more than 30 in Nigeria & Biochemists are well positioned. You start as Research Officer II and grow and become a director)
ii. Monotechnic/Polytechnics as lecturer
iii. Federal Universities as lecturer (M.SC, PhD required)
iv. Government Agencies: DPR (as environmentalist), NSE (Graduate Trainee), NARICT, NILEST, NABDA, NAFDAC etc as Research officers
v. Teacher (PGDE required)

In Nigeria today, no discipline guarantees you a job, Medicine inclusive.

A yoruba graduate may secure a better paying job than a doctor.

I am a passionate Biochemist (B.SC, M.SC). Secured a job 8 months after my M.SC and today, I earn more than a professor of Medicine. Even a Matron cannot come close.

If you are a fresh graduate, it is time to ponder and tell yourself the truth.

You need to be patient, prayerful, diligent, and determined to succeed.

No profession be it Engineering, Nursing, Medicine will guarantee you success.

But are you in Nigeria? I'm a master degree holder in biochemistry too @unilorin 2019(first degree with second class upper at Futminna). I end up being a teacher in secondary school. You can imagine the frustration

Religion, poverty and illiteracy is the problem of the north

BOKO HARAM AND ISWAP WILL RECRUIT HIM ASAP

Newcastle played as if they were paid to beat arsenal.

No more pity and sympathy whenever bandits or boko haram killed them. If this is their punishment so be it

They overwhelmed the police who are holding gun or they released her to them to be killed

seankafor:
I watched this yesterday
So heartless of the Putin boys
But what do you expect in war? Not a pat in the back I guess

There are rules in war. Russia soldiers violate that rule

zeedof:
werey ni e.... did you understand the Quran that supported killing... idiot.... and did you in person condemn the harrassment that occure to Palestinian inside Mosque by Israelite force? Did you? You are more wicked than those idiot that kill the deborah....

Israel practice Judaism not Christianity

So why should we pity them when boko haram and Bandits start killing them. The truth is, you will reap what you sow.

John 16:1-4
AMP:I have told you all these things, so that you should not be offended (taken unawares and falter, or be caused to stumble and fall away). [I told you to keep you from being scandalized and repelled.]

2

AMP:They will put you out of (expel you from) the synagogues; but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think and claim that he has offered service to God.

3

AMP:And they will do this because they have not known the Father or Me.

4

AMP:But I have told you these things now, so that when they occur you will remember that I told you of them. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

President for life. The truth is, if you are not voted out of office, death will vote you out. Nothing last forever

For those clamoring for world War 3,those beauties will become a pile of sands in minutes

What about the part that says Ataga's hands was tied up?

I fully understand what you passed through, one thing that saved me was that the mother of the little girl was with us when the event happened. I was on duty that day as a teacher ,had to carry bags and children from parents right at the school gate...the n there was a drainage ,fearing the little girl should not fall there ,I carry her across...the next thing she said was that stop touching me ! I stood with wonder,thank God the mother was around who shouted on her ,was he touching you? since that day onward when that girl is coming to my side I will quickly change my route.Because no one will believe you with the things that is happening right now in this world

Simp it's none of your business,na she get body so make she wear wetin she want.

Many unregenerated souls are here commenting on things they know nothing about

OBALOLA55:
PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS, THATS WHAT YOUR HOLY BOOKS SAID

You are a big hypocrites. I'm 100% sure you are not a Christian but an obedient slave to this tyrants we have as leaders. Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, John tye Baptist, Jesus Christ etc spoke against and criticize atrocities being done in their generation.

OBALOLA55:
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE HOLY BIBLE COMMAND US TO CRITICIZE OUR LEADERS

Should they be commended for bad leadership? Any leader who refuse to be questioned will do questionable things

He has no business there in the first place
