^^ not joining in the debate, but I,m not sure of this logic.
Its like saying that if executing a man or man slaughtervis not a sin, then murdering is no sin.
In all cases, one takes another's life.

Don't be quick to say that the bible refers to murder. Although translators try to distinguish this and it can actually be inferred from reading the bible, however, from my studies, the actual original word used doesnt have that much of a distinction

Bolaadu:
Tinbu is a politician with wisdom foreknowledge and experience, Ribadu can not win d election dat year.

and so, it was right that Ribadu be sold for money instead of being built for the next election abi?
Money that came from where? ...probably same FG security votes that is now upsetting everyone

And now, Tinibu is a saint and has wisdom abi? ....lol in order words the end justifies the means

And some pro APC tribal zombies mock Ribadu who was disgraced and betrayed by Tinibu for moving to the PDP abi?

...we can't continue supporting and encouraging the same actions that brought us to were we are and expect a different and glorious result in the future

There is a man called VP Osibanjo that is presently only a heartbeat from the presidency
Much like Jonathan, Osibanjo has not been tested in the crucible of leadership.
He is a lackey of the man that sold Ribadu for a princely sum ...the man Tinubu

Apart from safety reasons, such an infrastructure can actually be tied to direct job creation. So it is not necessarily a waste of money, especially if all materials are manufactured in Nigeria.

However, with regards to vandalism, the government could probably be more innovative. For example, creating a mini moat that separates the train tracks from pedestrians, or maybe laying sharp edged stones on each side of the track to discourage pedestrians from crossing.

All they need do is contact me for ideas

are also quick to redefine it when it comes to things like tithes and their pastors

It's obvious you know the English language but you are not well versed in the art of interpretation or suggestive criticism! When someone issues a statement like this:

It shows the person has a preformed idea about his or her audience and this preformed sentiment allowed him to write in a condescending tone. If only he knew that the person he was replying was not only abroad but doing quite well, I'm absolutely sure he would have revised the statement!

uhmmm English is quite dynamic sha.. and probably subjective.

Billygee2u:
you are being logical.
have you traveled to abroad before?
my humble advice to you and others in Africa who are nursing the idea to leave leave your wives to go abroad for greener pasture is ,better forget the idea and use the money to engage in one legitimate business and God who says he that findeth a wife findeth good thing and obtain favor from the Lord,will surely bless your hustle.
God made them to be one and not two by separation.
what God join together,let no one put asunder.

and then you went ahead to respond with a fight like this:

abbey621:
I've been living in Atlanta since 2010 so spare me the lecture! My father came to the USA in the 1980s living behind my mom and 2 children. Before he left 9ja, we were all living in a face me and face you house struggling to survive, he just lost his job with NEPA and things were very difficult, imagine what would have happened if he had refused to use his Oluwole visa and chose to stay back in Nigeria? Yes, he suffered a great deal abroad including marrying an obese woman just to get his papers but it all worked out in the end. It took 6 to 7 years for him to fully get himself and in the 10th year he brought my mom to the USA. Looking at their net worth today, I would say they are valued at over 1/2 a billion naira collectively and all was through hard work. My brother and I had to live without both parents for some time but in the end, we are all successful living life to the fullest. What would have happened if dad chose comfort instead of hustling? Be careful how you to talk to people on the internet, some people have been through more than you can ever imagine!

umhhhh
maybe i dont understand English anymore
but if someone asks me if I've been to Japan before, the answer is NO, i've not been, but i've watched some japanese movies

Christianity Etc › Re: What Does This Scripture Say Really? by esere826: 1:22am On Jan 05, 2016

ATMC:
Hebrews 10:26

KJV:For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Does this mean that God will not forgive wilful sin? If yes then why are we told that Christ paid for the sins we will commit in future? without specifying if it be wilfully or not.

let's try this:

If after yo've accepted /believed that Christ has taken away our sins once and for all, yet you come back insisting that you have sinned outside this purview of forgiveness /grace. What then can be used to blot this sin that you've chosen to place outside the the framework of christ's forgiveness?
.....all that will be left is you living with a crippling fear and expectation of damnation

Interestingly there also seems to be at least a slight similarity with the start of Genseis -
Eve ate the fruit wilfully, nothing happened
Adam ate the fruit wilfully, both eyes became opened
Yet God didnt seem to know what happened
Only when Adam wilfuly confessed that he was out of grace/favour/Sync that God noticed ...and 'rained curses'

Christianity Etc › Re: Was Jesus Being Rude To Mary When He Referred To Her As "Woman" In John 2:4? by esere826: 11:00am On Dec 27, 2015

OLAADEGBU:
You have not answered the question, sir.

Yes I did.
Let me try again..
If Jesus and the woman were westerners living today in a western society, then Jesus was indeed rude.
In some Nigerian cultures, that would also be rude, while in some this would be acceptable and even considered endearing depending on the age of Jesus

So, except you fully understand the Jewish culture of that time, and the relationship between Jesus and his mum, you really can't say it is so and so.

...always remember this: context is everything

OLAADEGBU:
Yes. What is above all things there?

First, It is my understanding that that verse was written by John, and not Paul hence my confusion.

Next,
"above all things" seem to suggest "my earnest desire"

Using only english translations of the bible and not the original language texts
prosper suggests material/physical growth
Now, taking all three wishes together
he was saying to Gaius, that its his wish/hope (not prayer)
that Gaius grows materially(including financially) and spiritually while sustaining good health

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth"

OLAADEGBU:

Paul had many wishes for you and I. Which one are you referring to?

And by the way, if we are not to stray too far from the OP which is this "Is the Word of Faith movement biblical? Is it God's will for all Christians to be physically healthy and financially prosperous?"

....then the answer is quite simple, albeit contextual.

It's Gods' will that we dominate our environment.
the tool for domination is not set in stone.

A man washed unto an island would have no need for money. What he would require is good health, smart brains, hope, other people loking for him, perseverance, faith etc
