Christianity EtcRe: The Most Crucial Decision Of My Life: Considering Islam. by Emusan(m): 1:26pm On Nov 05, 2015
Befitting:
Hey Nairalanders, I'm a northern girl who hails from Adamawa state. My both parents hail from adamawa, thesame local government but different villages. They're both christians. My mum died 2006 and my dad even remarried before her death. The 2nd wife is from a muslim home but converted to christainity for reasons best known to here. Since then we've been living in peace although she hasn't bore a child yet and I don't think my dad is considering marriage.
Right from childhood, I've been around muslims, I've always admired their religion ofcourse apart from the jihad and terrorism. But every other thing about them I love. Now, I'm thinking of converting, I've let my muslim friends know about my decision. But what I'm not certain about is if to let my family know about it, because I know the consequences that would come with it. I'll be disowned and thrown out of the house. But my mind is made up already. I don't know what to do. I'm the 1st daughter and we're just 2gurls.
I know somany of you will condemn me for this but I'm ready to receive all the condemnation and insults from my christian brothers and sisters.
@bold 1- especially the underlined, eternity is a personal race but it's unfortunate that you decided to choose your own on the LEVEL OF ADMIRATION.

NOTE: There are many things to admire in life but there are a great stumbling block to eternity.

This your case made it evident that throughout your Christian life you never had PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING AND ENCOUNTER OF JESUS Christ just as Christ instructed through Apostle Paul says "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is LORD, but by the Holy Ghost." 1 Corin 12:3 and as Christ Himself said "Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." John 14:23 Just as many people who profess Christianity are just Church goer like you today.

The interesting part of these two passages is that both address INDIVIDUAL NOT A RELIGIOUS GROUP OR LEADER with "No man & a man"

@bold 2- Let it be known to you that you're not the first person who convert from Christianity to another religion or no religion nor you will be the last, well I know some people will actually condemn you but the truth is they are not God and majority of them might even be dying in ocean of fear of rejection either from family, friend or work sake if they take such step because many people only claimed to be Christian but deep down their heart they have no connection with the Author of life and the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

Shalom!

The husband is not family, he is a member of the family .
The wife is not family, she is a member of that family.
The child is not family, he/she is a member of that family.
Each has a role and position that is different from the other.
They are not equal.
They are all humans, but have different authority in the family.
The family is not neccesarily made up by 3 individuals, it starts from 2 to as many as possible individuals.

How can a Jehovah witness deal with all these statements?

1. "Unlike any other human, Jesus lived in heaven as a spirit person before he was born on earth...and is therefore appropriately called God." (Good news from God, Chapter 4-who is Jesus Christ, pg cool

2. "We are...spirits living in a body of flesh...part of us survives death." (Iblis, Chapter 6-what hope is there for the dead? pg 12)

3. "The Bible states that...God created the universe in six literal 24-hour days" (Awake March, 2014 pg 5)

4. "For centuries the churches propagated the doctrine of the trinity,...the Father and the Son are part of the same entity" (Watchtower, June 2015 pg 15)

I've read it now?

Like I said the booklet has a lot to do with the issue at hand, that's why I want you to read it because by the time I start making reference to it, it won't be strange to you.

My view on Trinity is the general view held by all true Christian in the world.

There's ONLY ONE TRUE GOD which scripture reveals in the person of The Father, The Son and The Holy spirit.

So I'll reply your post when you're ready.

I just need Yes or No!

Less I forget, mention the scripture you're going to use for me I will use any of this KJV, NIV, NASB, YLT, NLT, CJB, ESV, NKJV, ERV, EXB, GW, ISV, PHILIP, TLB, NIRV, NLV, OJB

Sometimes I find it hard to understand why you are quick to jump into conclusions concerning me. I asked you simple questions concerning the promise you said I made. You did not answer on that one.

I made simple, honest remark as to the supposed promise, if its true that I made such promise, let me see it! , I will apologise for my mistakes and try to make amends. I'm not perfect .

These simple request I make and you decided to accuse me!
This is not a fight where we will be looking for a winner, dnt try to bring me down, let's use the scriptures to discuss.
Wonderful, so you think I'm accusing you!
But the point I'm raising here is cleared, it means you only type and type without key in into what you said.

Anyway I don't have time to search for that but if you're truly key in to whatever you type, you suppose to remember immediately I said it.

Bro, are we here to discuss what an organization says or our beliefs concerning trinity,
Both! Simply because it's the same organization's doctrine you're following and even using their Bible version.

using the scriptures as main guide.
So how English Bible versions do you accept their TOTAL TRANSLATION apart from NWT? And you're claiming to be using scripture as main guide.

Tell me ur view on trinity and ill tell you mine, and we will use the scripture as guide.
This is where the problem lies, how can you prove Trinity from NWT when it has corrupted the true meaning of it? According to the Greek scripture The Father is God, The Son is God and The Holyspirit is God that is the testimony of Greek scripture.

If you have issues with any organization, get in touch with them! Not me. They have an address, a location where all ur issues can be pursued by you and addressed.
Like I always say I don't have problem with any organization but with the kingdom of darkness that hold the truth in lies.
You own is to prove me wrong here that you're not following the doctrine and using their Bible.

As to the booklet, I've not read it!
I've given you the link so you can do that mind you, there's no comment by anybody against the booklet on that same page just the scan of the booklet.

But pls tell, has the authors of the book changed their views on trinity?
They haven't but an author who can lie in his/her writing and withhold vital information from his/her reader, shouldn't be taken serious and shows the source of his/her inspiration because God can't lie or inspire lie.

Why don't they publish the book any longer?
This is why you need to read the booklet and see for yourself how they lied about early Christian teachers and misinformed the readers on Trinity believe.

It was as a result of people commentary on the booklet that made them to stop the publication and the removal from their online library.

If the booklet actually speaks the mind of God, why the removal and end of publication?

I brought the issue here because this thread is about Trinity.

I know you'll reply this post but I won't reply you until you tell me you've read it, so that we can start properly.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria To Spend $25 Billion On New Infrastructure - Osinbajo by Emusan(m): 9:37am On Oct 22, 2015
SenseiX:
In one of the first concrete plans on economic direction of Africa's biggest economy, new VP says stimulating the economy, and not cut backs the key.
NIGERIA plans to create a $25 billion fund with public and private financing to modernise infrastructure and avoid a recession, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said.

The halving of oil prices since last year has forced Nigeria, Africa’s largest producer of crude, to slash its budget and contributed to a weaker currency. Standard & Poor’s downgraded its credit rating, while JPMorgan Chase & Co. removed Nigeria from its local-currency emerging market indexes.

“We think that the way out of this, what some have described as an impending recession, is actually to spend rather than to cut back in any way,” Osinbajo, 58, said in an interview on Tuesday in the capital, Abuja.

Economic growth slowed to 2.35% in the second quarter of 2015, according to Nigeria’s national statistics agency, the lowest this decade, as falling income from crude exports and foreign-exchange shortages hit businesses. The nation relies on oil for about two-thirds of government spending and 90% of its export income.
Osinbajo was a lawyer in the commercial capital, Lagos, until his surprise inclusion as the running mate of former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari on the ticket of the opposition All Progressives Congress party. They took office in May after defeating the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, and his Peoples Democratic Party in the first democratic handover of power from one party to another in Africa’s most populous nation.

The Buhari administration plans to target investment toward improving a power supply system that leaves tens of millions of households without grid electricity for hours each day, as well as modernising roads, rail transportation and agriculture, Osinbajo said.

‘Bankable projects’
Boosting agricultural output in a fertile nation that has become one of the world’s biggest importers of rice will both save foreign-exchange outlays and create jobs. The government is looking to make the West African country self-sufficient in rice production in about 24 months, he said.

“A lot of those projects will be bankable projects, because we’re looking at projects that will interest private sector investors as well, but they are strategic for us,” Osinbajo said.

In the face of declining oil revenue, central bank Governor Godwin Emefiele has resisted pressure from investors and fellow policy makers to devalue the naira. Instead, he imposed exchange-rate controls in February that Osinbajo described as “largely successful” and “inevitable in the short term” in an effort to stem the outflow of reserves.

Reserves have dropped to about $30 billion, down from almost $40 billion a year ago, while the naira has weakened about 8% against the dollar since the start of the year.

Osinbajo said he understands that portfolio investors aren’t pleased about the trading restrictions on the currency, which have led to a slowdown in capital market inflows.

The government is “mindful that we maintain foreign- exchange reserves so at least that we are able to keep investor confidence high, especially direct investment,” he said.

Christianity EtcRe: Can A Christian Or Believer Loose The Holy Spirit In Them? by Emusan(m): 12:17pm On Oct 20, 2015
Goshen360:
First, as a believer\Christian, you should know better that sleeping with another man\woman('s) spouse is a no go area for you so that is out of the point but what about other sins, little or big? There's a huge difference between the old covenant and the new.
Sin is sin, formication does not in any way different from lying.

The question we can ask ourselves is, can Holyspirit dwell in a life where sin(s) reign?

Under the old, David begged God or prayed that God should not take His Spirit from him - Psalm 51:11. In the new covenant which is a better covenant, God said, never will it happen that He will leave nor forsake us - Hebrews 13:5 and by Paul, the Apostle, God revealed to us that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit - Ephesians 1:13.
I can see how you misunderstood how God works with people in the scripture.

Things to know:
1. In the Old Testament God ONLY channels His HOLYSPIRIT to perform some specific tasks through some CHOSEN people that's why you can't see a whole congregation in the OT operating under the power of the Holy spirit.

2. In the New Testament God has freely pour out His Spirit UPON ALL FLESH which means The Spirit isn't working selectively by choosing some categories of people but ready to dwell with anybody who does His will.

Take note as this will help us in answering your questions.

So the question is,
1- Will a Christian loose the indwell of the Holy Spirit if or when they sin?
The word 'HOLY' that precedes His name denotes the main attribute of The Spirit and sin in other hand is anything that defiled the body or make it unholy. So if a Christian indulges in sin both Holy spirit and sin can't stay in the place. One must stay!

2 - Is the prayer of David in Psalm 51v11 still valid under the new covenant in the blood of Christ?
David's prayer does not bond by any covenant (but operational mode of Holy spirit defers in the two covenants) what the prayer simply means is that God since You've chosen to allow Your Spirit to work through me, please don't let me do any act contrary to Your will that'll make Him depart from me.

If you're not doing the will of the Holy spirit, He will leave you which can be said that God has taken His Spirit from you or the Spirit of God has departed from you.

But that doesn't mean the Spirit can't come back again.
Christianity EtcRe: Was Satan By Default An Angel? Prove It If You Think Jesus Never Exist As Angel by Emusan(m): 7:54pm On Oct 18, 2015
Boomark:
Please answer these questions honestly.
But you're dishonest in asking this question.

1. Do you agree that Jesus is a Messenger of God? E.g. "'Behold, I send My messenger,... And the Lord, whom you seek,... the Messenger of the covenant,... says the LORD of hosts" (full details at Malachi 3:1). Rev 1:1, God gave him a message to deliver to us of things to come(this is true no matter who finally deliver the message to us).
The messenger here is talking about John the Baptist not Jesus Christ.

Is John the Baptist an Angel?

Let me start with this:
Who is talking in this verse? It's Yahweh!
Then notice the wording "...my messenger, and he shall prepare the way BEFORE ME..."

Here the Speaker said the messenger will prepare the way for HIM not for another person.

Then who did John prepare way for? Jesus Christ! Going with this verse, Yahweh has come in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ fulfilling this promise.

2. Do you agree that Angels are messengers of God?
Yes! But being a messenger of God does not make all the messengers of God an Angel.

Some human being are also God's messengers.

3. Do you agree that in 1 and 2, Jesus and the Angels are messengers of God, doing similar work for God at different levels?
Let me answer this with this statement.

What is delusion?
Delusion is to believe that Jehovah FIRST CREATED Jesus Christ EVEN WHEN HEAVEN and ALL ITS Hosts are not yet created and Jesus Christ who enjoyed millions of years with His Father before heaven itself where ANGELS dwell was created later used to create ALL THE ANGELS (which Michael was actually included) and can still be part of what He Himself created.

Lastly, do you believe that Jesus Christ in His prehuman was created before heaven itself?

Let me give you clue so that you'll know where I'm going.
All creations by default need SPACE to occupy that's why God has to create Heaven for Angels to dwell and Earth for man and only God occupies/dwells in ETERNITY.
NYSCRe: Going Back To My Parent's After POP by Emusan(m): 12:32pm On Oct 15, 2015
apprentist:
Going back to my Father's House and Mummy's Pot after my service Year.

Sincerely, I've never stopped giving this a thought since I left home for service.
I have huge plans for my service year- Things I look forward to achieve, degrees, skills, contacts and so on. But above all, I look forward to starting life after my service year.
Now, this decision as we all know isn't one that comes on a platter. My reason for saying this goes thus:
1. To afford an apartment will require rentage and maintenance,
2. I'll have to earn to survive,
3. The Societal system doesn't trow jobs at your lap imidiately after service. Just to mention a few.

Some of you here on NL have been through this stage of life already and gracefully sufficed through.
What was your experience like and how did you finally get on your feet?
Do you subscribe to going back to my parent's after service?
Did you have to stay at your parent's while starting life outside?
What were the things you did during your service year that helped you in this area at the long run?

Opinions and Experiances would be grately appreciated.
I use my own case a point of contact to your own as I pray that you'll have a similar testimony like me.

I finished service and I stayed less than two months under my parent.

BusinessRe: Please Advice Me!!! What Business Can I Start With 50k? by Emusan(m):
TK0907:
I'm a graduate that completed my NYSC by july and at the end of my service, all the cash i could save was N50,000 and i have tried getting a job but all to no avail after the service and i have tried to keep this money in my account but i don't have an idea of any little business that i can start with this small amount and i'm tired of staying at home. I need an advice please.
I don't know maybe this have been said, so in case nobody has said anything about it, you can make use of it.

Gas business is a type of business that needs little capital to run and zero experience to achieve.

How to start?
1. Get empty 50kg cylinder I don't know your area but no matter what it can't cost more than N20k.

2. Fill the 50kg at Gas station at rate of N10-N12k (Talk to them at the station that you want to use it for business not personal use if not they will give you retail price)

With this you still have over N15k left

3. Buy the small empty cylinder of 5kg & 6kg for start.
no matter your area it can't cost more than N4k for 5kg & N5k for 6kg (NOTE: this price is with the GAS BURNER without the burner is lesser)

You can start with 2 of 5kg & 1 of 6kg

Once all these are in place, your business begins.
Simply start REFILLING people's empty cylinder and selling Gas cylinder.


The gain
Take for instance the 5kg the refilling is N1500 and if you're to sell empty and also refill it it's nothing less than N6500 if you're lucky you can sell it above this. (Don't let this gain enter your eyes) cheesy cheesy

Note: you don't need to rent a shop just start in front of your compound.

If you need any further info on this you can, let me know.

MizJanet:


Point 1 : the original sin is so baseless that it did not prevent David from making heaven , right ? You are actually mocking youselfs.

Point 2 : David achieve eternal life in heaven without Jesus dying for his sin ? Ooops ! That automatically render Jesus sacrifice useless .

Churchman , see how Your answer mock the death of jesus again .
Unchurchwoman, it's so funny how you'll raise question by yourself, answer it by yourself and still conclude it by yourself.



bible said : ' because of one man , ALL have sinned' - Romans 5:12 , it further describes it has been " SOLD under sin " says Roman 7:14 .

To release man from the grip of sin , bible further said : God " sent his son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins" - 1joh 4:10

Yet David made heaven without the sacrifice made for his sin , right ? grin
The anti-type sacrificial lamb started the very day Adam's sinned by God Himself in the Garden of Eden.
For your information, The Word of God (which came to earth as the true type and was given the name Jesus Christ) has been in action from ages even before David was born. that's why Jesus is THE way..., and THE life no ONE comes to the Father without passing through Him.

"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." Heb 10:14

I don't need to waste time on this or lengthen my word again since I've dealt with this in my previous post since you've decided to boycott it and address this. So I'm only here to refresh the key point which you and I have actually agreed with and how you keep contradict yourself.

You agree that if Adam hadn't sinned he won't have DIED (which means Adam will continue in his state of PURITY forever WITHOUT EXPERIENCE DEATH in his life NEITHER HIM COME TO EARTH)
With this in mind, we can then proceed

Repentance96:
This contains the crux of our difference. Yes, the term "original sin" means different things to different people. If it means the forgiven sin of Adam that was predestined as a pretext to have him equal to Iblis,then yes. We all are on earth because God wants to test each and one of us, and make us our own witness to our works. Adam rose above Iblis, because he repented and thus was forgiven for his sin. [size=14pt]His sin was not passed down, but the consequences were...[/size] So we the children of Adam must passed through earth and hell to Paradise. If God did not forgive Adam, then he would have destroyed Adam - but that would make it all a wasted effort. So God gave the chance for us all to prove to ourselves that we deserve everlasting life.
The emphasis is at the @bold-What are the consequence of Adam SIN that was pass down to man? This is another time I will ask this question which you keep ignoring.

NOTICE: according to the ORIGINAL SIN theory it says BOTH DEATH AND SIN ENTER MAN'S WORLD AS A RESULT OF ADAM'S SIN which means BOTH DEATH AND SIN are the consequences of Adam's sin/disobedient. This is another place you've prove theory of ORIGINAL SIN true.

But how?

By accepting God and His guidance when it comes and being in a state of submission to God. We can fall in sin, but God would purify us and forgive us. God is Most Merciful
Well what I know is this, it's not man who will tell God how to run His system it's what God wants that man will follow and God has foretold the sacrificial lamb that will take away the sin of the world by laying various anti-type of it since the very first day Adam sinned by killing an animal and used it to cover their sin TEMPORARILY and through the prophets of OLD TESTAMENT until THE SEED of the Woman will come and bruise the head of the accuser who is Satan.

This doctrine is more universal in the sense that our salvation does not hang in belief of any historical event like a crucifiction. Earth was corrupted with death and bloodshed even before Adam was created and God had to purify earth. This doctrine of salvation has remained the same throughout time, and it is not intended unfair to those who have not heard about it. God could have many earths with many intelligent creations all over the universe and not merely one earth (needing one lamb of sacrifice).
Sorry at the bold-Human sense can't direct God but God directs human senses which means we do His will not Him do our will.
How will earth corrupt, who are the people who corrupted it, does animal responsible for their action?
These are the questions that beg for answers

If animal does not responsible for their action, why will you attach CORRUPTION and BLOODSHED to animal's action?

It's true that we have inherited our DNA from our parents but where have we got our souls/spirit?

"O mankind! Be conscious of your Lord, who has created you from one soul (Adam), and out of it created its mate (Eve), and out of the two spread many men and women. And remain conscious of God, in whose name you demand [your rights] from one another, and of these ties of kinship. Verily, God is ever watchful over you!" (Quran 4:1)

Has this being tainted? No.

"When your Lord drew forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves: ‘Am I not your Lord?’. They said, ‘Yes, we do testify.’ This lest you should say on the Day of Judgement: ‘We were not aware of this.’ "
(Al A’raaf :272)

There's a hadith to make this explicitly clear:


The Prophet (PBUH) reported that Allah said, "I created my servants in the right religion but devils made them go astray". The Prophet (PBUH) also said, "Each child is born in a state of "Fitrah", then his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian, the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring. Have you noticed any that were born mutilated?"
(Bukhari and Muslim).
Where does soul/spirit reside if not the body that the DNA form?
Whether you like it or not we ALL inherited TAINTED NATURE from Adam because YOUR SOUL/SPIRIT can't function alone on earth.
You've confirmed ORIGINAL SIN again here.

Our natures are all pure and in fact comes from that of God, like an image.

"Then He fashioned him and breathed into him from His ruh; and He gave you (the faculties) of hearing, sight, and feeling. Little thanks you give." (As-Sajdah 32:9)

"When I have fashioned him and breathed into him from My ruh" (Al-Hijr 15:29)
Sorry the DNA will inherited is OUR TRUE NATURE because it's the thing that makes us HUMAN, so it's not pure.



The last part I want to address is your misuse of the word 'PREDESTINATE'
For your information PREDESTINATE does not mean God PURPOSELY created death and suffering but as a God He knew end from the beginning that's He knows how the whole things will run because I see you making this mistake that's why you thing MAN IS PURPOSELY CREATED to die.

I know because it's me who said this you won't take it but here is a support of my point from your own scholar Ibn Kathir you quoted earlier.
"Could it be said that Adam and the rest of mankind were predestined to sin and to be expelled from Paradise and sent to the earth? In fact, this fiction is as naive as the first one.
Adam complete free will, and he bore the consequences of his deed. He disobeyed by eating of the forbidden tree, so Allah dismissed him from Paradise. His disobedience does not negate his freedom. On the contrary it is a consequence of it.
The truth of the matter is that Allah knew what was going to happen, as He always know the outcome of events before they take place."


Shalom!
