michaelwestern:


Read the whole chapter 9 of mark and tell me how your explanation correlates with what Jesus Christ was saying.

Ok, apparently, Mark 9 suggests that those who are beheaded in this life will show in the other life headless, and carrying their heads in their hands.

..and yes, it also suggests that such a state of handicap will be eternally permanent too
..abi?

Guy, find another verse to support hell talk. This one no work oooo

michaelwestern:


.......than the bible which is the Word of God. ......

I thought that Jesus is the Word of God?
umhh,... I learn new things everyday

I now understand why the Egyptians decided to make slaves off the Israelites
fearing that the israelite immigrants would one day out number and then over power them

i see nothing wrong with this man

yeah some say he beats his disciples, but those disciples are adults who have allowed themselves to be beaten
besides, TB is a native man, so such type of discipline style is understandable from him
what I would find strange is if an aje pastor like Pst Paul dey beat im people

Back then, Dem be dey tok say he says Emmanuel instead of Jesus
but then Jesus is not the name that Christ was known as when he was on earth either
its our modern way of addressing Him

They say he is theatric
but since when has that become a crime
after all it is said that after despoiling principalities and powers, Jesus made a SHOW of them publicly

The collapse of the building is a purely secular matter that should be treated as such, and the neccesary laws applied

Everyone cannot possibly have the same style of ministering

…...Seasons greetings TB Joshua

@ nex

where did you get the statistics of "less than 10% of Nigerians are on social media" from?

Generally, I agree with your view about the influence of the social media folks on those around them
I think you should have used the phrase "social media evangelists" to better describe them.

,..nice interview

ladymichael:
I really need advise from especially the men
My colleague is gonna be 35 in a few months and is not married or even have toasters. She has reached a point where she doesn't even think about it.
She says she sometimes asks herself on why she's still single and concludes that maybe she's not supposed to ever marry.
I really feel sorry for her but don't know how to advise her.
Please what could be the issue? Abd how to I advise her?

single men between the ages of 34 and 45 are very few oooo
and tend to be very selective especially if they have it all

Introductions could do the trick
just make sure she is not hooked up time wasters while at the same time ensuring that she doesnt com across as viciously desperate for marriage

...by the way, you shouldn't feel sorry for someone because of husband issue. Marriage is not everything

frosbel:
I have a nightmare situation , a terrible thought , a recipe for heart attack, the unthinkable ;

WHAT IF.... Buhari does not WIN ? Are we DOOMED ?

My own perception is this, if Buhari does not win, we are screwed and I mean big time.

- Corrupt politicians and elite will throw parties worth millions of dollars ( not even Naira )
- More fresh crooks will be lining up to join the government and rape the country even more.
- Boko Haram will get worse and all hell may even break lose.
- Our soldiers will continue to be insulted and ignored and under perform on the battle field.
- Our police will continue running away from armed robbers and killing civilians
- Education will get worse and our graduates may resort to desperate measures that will not be pleasant.
- Hospitals will further deteriorate
- More emigration by the best and most talented people including but not limited to doctors, engineers, IT experts etc.



Am I wrong , hallucinating or just MAD.

Help me here someone.

You could add this question
What if Buhari gets sick and cannot stand for election?

....I guess the world would end if we miss this messiah

Lol
theories don't work in practice
Mandela is said to be a great leader, but did not tick your boxes

Amaechi was being extremely dumb and running his mouth like it had diarrhoea
to complete the silliness he go soon tok say wives should not shag their husbands if they vote Jonathan
or that we should shoot all politicians and their families including himself to get rid of corruption

...nonsense

His image handlers are indeed doing a good job
the next step is for them to influence the old papas in APC that have narrow minded approaches of religion and ethnicity to politics

APC shouldn't be making statements that suggest that the North are rooting for their man to take back power

donguutti:
As a non Partisan, Fence sitter ,I have making effort to know more about our Presidential Aspirants and thus make an
Informed decision on Feb 14 2015.Since there is not much to be discovered about the SHOELESS and CLUELESS Jesus of Otuoke
(except of course his preferred Brand of Rum for the season)i decided to turn my attention to the "Peoples General".I have
read Interviews, speeches by GMB.The Latest of Which is that with Thisday Newspapers.

In that Interview , the General refers to Mohammed yusuf as "a young charismatic man" amidst other Important issues

that Hitler was charismatic doesn't mean we love him
Charismatic simply means someone whose eccentric actions plus oratory is so enchanting and compelling to attract devotees

Buhari can almost be called charismatic, save that he is not eccentric and lacks oratory. he however has a cult-like following

she is a silly shallow girl
isn't she?

so when you are in power, you must chop money.. abi?

minister2015:
GEJ has completely lost control of his administration, totally confused

Yes, there is evidence of this

and yet is hellbent on rigging and forcing himself on Nigerians. .......

Why are you so sure that Jonathan is hell bent on rigging and forcing himself on Nigerians
His antecedents does not show that he does that

Buhari on the other hand can be accused of wanting to force himself on Nigerians because he has done it before
however, you cant argue that Buhari would rig elections because there is no sign he has done this before

..choose head over emotions

So these guys will be paid allowances till death for doing nothing
what a waste

PassingShot:


It means convincing voters and making the votes count.

thanks for this clarification
I hope they are presently at work convincing voters oooo
because if the two mutually try to use other means to DELIVER
the one with federal might will clearly win except the court overturns it

..............May the choice of the people win

aurenflani:


Does that meant your religion authorised you to insult the founders of other beliefs that are different from yours?

it means your religion tends to not frown at some things.
For example if someone is perceived to have spoken ill of your Prophet, and is executed. There is a tendency for the most frontal of you to say "well deserved", and the more passive of you to say "he should not have spoken like that naw. See what he brought on himself".

While my religion frowns at some
for example the most frontal would insult your beliefs and that of others before the execution and fiercely afterwards,
while the more passive would look away while your institutions are being insulted and would insult your entire institution as being barbaric after representatives of your institution carries out the executions.

We're following different scripts and what the scripts perceive as wrong and right are not always the same

PassingShot:


I don't see any reason why GEJ will win Lagos. I agree he will perform reasonably well here but Tinubu and Fashola will deliver Lagos to Buhari.

In other SW states, Buhari will still edge him based on what we see and hear from those states.

What does deliver mean?
does it mean convince voters, or does it mean influence the results?
........please explain

johnydon22:

explain... why do u guys always see little question as a tactics to criticize ur faith... please am not hear to criticize anybody just asked a simple question and thats all...

haba

Abi no be me and you do some discussions on frosbels thread not too long ago
I love talking about the bible, but I don't enjoy wasting my energy if its 100% certain that its gonna fall on unlistening ears
the reason I ask for your former religious background is to establish if my explanations would douse some previously unanswered curiousities
I would then be of HELP in that regard
If you were never a Christian, then perhaps I'll answer some other question but not this one

Amaechi is being extremely silly and oratorically mischievous

How would he establish that an election is free and fair?
The last presidential election has been adjudged the freest and fairest election in Nigeria, but CPC and some street urchins challenged its credibility

So is it the elders of APC that would sit in a round table and say that an election is free and fair?
He should be robust and give us the criteria that determines when an election is free and fair not looking at making that pronouncement based on feelings.
For example, does he expect a certain minimum Core North and South West vote to determine the elections credibility?
....make im tok am now

Cuneddy:
Lol,bt sleepin all day is a sin also cos its at act of being lazy which is a sin. It's better to meditate on the word than sleep all day i.e if you are done with all the 'doables'.

Number 1> where in the bible is it explicitly stated that sleeping all day is a sin
Number 2> Even if we consider it a sin by inference, na only poor man dat kain sin fit affect. If Bill Gates sleeps all day can it realy be considered a sin?

starlingleanets:
Backup ur answer with the Scripture alone.

You don't need scripture for this
Yes, you can live a day without sin
Worst case to achieve this is to sleep all day

johnydon22:
1st timothy chapter 2 from verse 11 to 15
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
i do not permit any woman to teach or assume authority over a man;she must be quiet. for Adam was formed first then Eve. and Adam was not the one deceived it was the woman. it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. but women will be saved through childbearing if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety

Where you once a Christian?
if you were, then I'll explain it
if not, there would be no need for me to

aurenflani:
What baffles me is the hypocracy of Nigerian christians who always hide behind "civilization" to casigate Islam and Muslims whenever something negative happens from within the Muslim community! Mainwhile, if it happens in their christiandom, you find Muslims either ignoring the bandwagon or making passive comments.

Muslims do not blame Paul, the Pope or Jesus. Aronically, the christians would gladly go as far as insulting the Holy Prophet on whos advice the Muslims respect Jesus and his mothe Mary!

Your thread was shared to me by someone I follow on nairaland
Please permit me to respond to you and help you address your baffle

All humans are intrinsically the same
however our cultures and physical attributes shape the way we respond to our environment
In saying culture, I also include religion

What this means is that if you were a christian you would tend to do the same thing that you now accuse christians of doing
if those Christians that castigate islam were Muslims, they're also be passive and moan about insults by Christians

If you listen in on Christian arguments, you would notice that we even tackle Atheists who mock our God and his Christ to our face
you guys cant even stand it, if it is done to you.
But you notice that we don't tolerate folks talking ill about our men of god

Bottomline is that we are not hiding behind any civilization.
We just don't have such restraining rules as yours in our christian culture, whereas you guys do have in yours.

@naijasinglegirl

I spent my growing up years with lots and lots of chickens
the benefits were lots of chicken legs and eggs to eat

With regards to its business potential, you hit the nail on the head
lots of death from disease and even weather, theft by gatemen and those that scale the fence,
dogs and snakes having a field day trying to steal the chickens and the eggs

And then, middlemen pricing your chicken at ridiculous prices
If you decide to sell your chickens directly to consumers
they suddenly become pricing champions

After learning from my mums life time of chicken scandals
I think the best strategy (which I was going to try if I had dared the poultry business) is to have an eatery and confectionary that is supplied by your poultry

The trick would be to kill the chickens once you've broken even with some profits
i.e, you subtract the cost of the chicks as babies and the feeding + labour till date
from the market value of the size of the chicken

Nigerians like hard chicken a lot
so you grill them en masse till they are hard before using in your restaurant

You keep some to sell alive to consumers
the ones you keep are those you notice are fast growers

With such a strategy, you'd do quite well in your poultry business

@frosbel

try this: https://www.nairaland.com/1797193/attempt-coceptualize-differentiate-betwee-god

Its quite rough
I theorize that the father has no beginning, but that the Word does have a beginning
that the word was the first tangible conceptualization of God through which all other concepts proceed

knowledge is power

2 people open the same book
but one makes a first class, while the other barely manages a 3rd class while even spying the entire text book

we are no longer in the times when scripture was hid from congregation

if one believes he should help God receive and the other believe that he should be the one to give his all
and yet to both read the same book and both chase away those who advise some caution

wetin concern you
afterall, if God does reward them they aint gonna share with you
so why be

ooman:


Perhaps you can have a glimpse of how I feel about your god. He died in me long ago too.

You are a free agent
free to make your choices

I do not condemn anyone that chooses to step back and do some thinking
God or nature gave us brains for a reason

Better peace without the knowledge of God
than strife, bitterness and hatred with the convoluted Knowledge of a God

My own knowledge gives me more peace than I have ever had
.....bless you or something like that

frosbel:
Question for Team esere826 ;

If you believe donkeys and snakes talk as depicted in the bible and you see nothing wrong with it, why do you constantly mock Muslims who believe that king Solomon had a conversation with talking ants ?

Wrong team you placed me dude
I do not condemn muslim beliefs
it would be like me pointing four fingers at myself

The only thing I condemn is the strong tendency for a number of them I know to guard their beliefs dogmatically compared to chritians
I also condemn same attititude from christian who are dogmatic especially concerning their MOG

ooman:


Perhaps, but then, your whole life would have been based on mere assumptions. It would have been a total waste.

If I die to find out there is a god, then my work shall be used in my judgement. I will be judged fairly because I did not subscribe to any god while on earth, but open to the possibility of any god.

If you die to find out Yahweh is not the true god, its a straight to hell for you. Because you already lost the bet.

Your beliefs make you a gambler.

hell?
i am not into that line of gist when it comes to my relationship with God

But if there is indeed a God different from the one I connect with, and he feels i deserve hell
well, we go plenty naw

Jokes aside, I am not bothered about hell
that fear was long ago killed in me
maybe that's why I am able to chat with you guys like this

johnydon22:
they are many of them out there but i suppose u dont know.
you see what i mean u dont even care to know cus u choose to ignore it and go for the jewish one which doesnt even concern you...

stop being a cry baby
you're so sure you know me better than myself

....interesting

ooman:


You are still not getting it. There could be no harm done, but belief is only a belief.
Its a lie, a delusion, an abstract. Its a temporary feel-good drug that you are probably addicted to.

Believing that a god can avert the crash does not mean it will happen. Why not spend your last minute thinking about the love of your life than wasting it on a delusion called faith?

What if God exists?
What if God does not exist?

I think those two questions are relevant

Our beliefs cannot change whether God exists or does not
but it can affect how we approach our world and those around us

Weah96:


Correction: the being you think started everything is different from the beings that others worship as the creator. We know this to be true because there are different manuals which could not have all come from the SAME being. So the atheist is left with the unpleasant choice of selecting the appropriate being from a multitude of other beings. Points 0 to 10 are irrelevant if everyone is presumably facing some form of punishment from one of these beings.

Would Allah approve of your activities? Would Krishna?

When conversing with me
do not assume that I belong to the typical crew you would usually argue with
I was not talking about worship here or any particular God.

I was querying the disbelieve in miracles and saying if God exists then it is possible
as long as I believe he exists, believing in miracles is no biggie to me

As long as you believe he does not exist, then you possibly can't believe in miracles either
