because the West is a major tool in the hand of the devil in his aim of subverting the human race. They've almost destroyed all family values. They attacked child disciplining (calling it child abuse). Which means generations of uncouth, untrained kids are available for any diabolic plans they'll bring. They destroyed marriage as a basis of building a family. Imagine in the West it is a crime for a 21 year old man to have sex with a 17 year old girl, but perfectly OK for that same man to have sex with his fellow man.

I mean it sounds and feels odd for them to embrace sodomy to the extent of joining them in the church of God. All the Abrahamic religions accept polygamy but homosexuality is a no no. This people are so weird to me right now!

Wow. Welcome to Africa E.viana. There is this popular event that happened years ago. When some people who want to get rich, were turned into vultures by a native doctor. The native dr died shortly after that. Those guys remained vultures. Another native dr tried to help them and ended up turning some into half vulture and half human. The legs were human legs. Although I didnt witnessed it, but many people witnessed it. Can anyone help with other stories as this?

Satan has such powers. Witches also operate through nocturnal animals like cat and owl.

Thanks. I will be happy to clear every doubt you may have. If a mod pick interest in a member, why can't he/she try to befriend that member? Are there any rules against that? No. I'm trying to be your friend and know your course of study. I have dreams of being a manufacturer of imported items (including aircraft).

As for the email stuff. I believe you can visit other members profiles and send them PM. Through that you can tell them alternative ways to contact you. If you send a PM to me I'll receive it.

One thing with this site is that if you loss your email access, you cannot change it (many members complained about this too). Pls don't compare NL with other websites. It has old look and functionalities. Maybe that is the way Seun want it. If still have doubt, feel free to express it.

Yes. I have been slandered by a trouble maker. He was having issues with some users in agric section. I tried to bring peace among them and like a rabid dog, he turned on me and heap all sort of accusations against me. It was really futile trying to defend myself because he can twist and use your own words against you. I just have to ban him.

Why did I restored your posts? This is not the first time I'm doing such a thing. Whenever I come across such I do the right thing. The mod or spambot responsible might have made a mistake. When I saw your comment on that my thread about "Chris tucker", I have to check out your profile and read some of your posts. That was when I saw those posts and restored them. I just like it when I see females (males too) that maintain godliness. At least I saw that in your posts. Keep it up.
I hope your detective mode is now satisfied?

As for sending PM, that one is beyond my power. Seun (the site owner) should be responsible. Did you lost your email login info? But I think you can still send PM to other users (are my right?). If so send to me if you wish. Don't let those slanderers make you run from good Nigerians. Like I told you, I will delete all their posts. Thanks.

Good to hear that. Very few christians come here to preach. If you don't mind sharing your course of study I will like to know. I studied mechanical engineering. But I practice farming for now. .

You can never be closer to God without a life of prayer. For prayer is an effort to lay of God..

Thanks. I didn't know that before. I was just googling.

Personally I don't think sunday/saturday worship is a big deal. The most important is to live lives that please God. Seems like you studied religion in school? All your posts are just that.

There is only one church that exist. the body of Christ

I am a member of the body of Christ, not any denomination. I will also implore you to see yourself as a member of Christ body. Those churches you see or attend physically do not exist in the spiritual realm. People insult me when I shovel spiritual reality into their face.

Be a prayerful person not a church going person.

Hello Ms. E.viana. How was your day? What do you think about this:
"So if the Passover was on the first day of the week, and the Passover is our communion, and on communion we gathered as the disciples did back then, and if on the first day we store our tithes and offerings, and if on the first day Paul preached and thus someone preaches, then all that happens in church on the first day, and thus that is why church is on Sunday."

Prayers will also bring you too many troubles that will break and almost destroy you

WHO IS ELLEN G. WHITE AND WHAT WAS HER ROLE TOWARDS THE CHURCH?



In the church's beliefs are "Spiritual Gifts/Ministry" & "The Gift of Prophecy", (both scripturally based).
Ellen G. White is the messenger of God that Seventh-day Adventists believe God chose to reveal important messages regarding prophecy & Christian living. She was one of the founding members, including her husband James White & Joseph Bates. They formed after William Miller, the originator of the Millerite movement, misinterpreted the prophetic date of 1844---thinking that would be the time of Jesus' return to earth. It was not. Something significant happened, but it was not Jesus' return. Seventh-day Adventists formed after studying the scriptures to find out where the Millerites had originally misinterpreted the prophecy.

What many people do not know is that Mrs. White was not the original person chosen to do this important, sobering work of having the gift of prophecy. There were (2) men before her who refused the call of God and who later admitted it. (Would have to read through more work to know that). So God called her and although reluctant at first, she accepted.

Mrs. White (who had a third/fourth grade education) had written over 5000 periodicals and 40 books during her lifetime. She is one of the most widely translated authors in history and covers a very wide range of subjects including prophetic events/prophecy, councils on
health/diet, dress reform, Christian living/ relationships etc.

One statement that was made by someone was that Mrs. White's books are revered more (by me) than the bible. However, his statement is false. Seventh-day Adventists get accused frequently of idolizing Mrs. White more than the bible.
While there may be some in the faith who tend to venture towards fanaticism....the official statement of the church is to hold the bible as the ultimate authority. That is what I do....the bible first. The majority of my posts and interactions have revolved around the bible.

I have also repeatedly used Isaiah 8:20 (KJV) as my reference for anyone who claims or claimed to be a "prophet/prophetess"/messenger of God...including Ellen G. White and I, personally, am convinced that she indeed was.

Out of her 40 books written, I chose to highlight (2) of her books here on N.L.
I posted (3) chapters from one of the most important books that I have ever read, "The Great Controversy"--an historical, present and future book of prophecy for the world-- and (2) chapters from another of the most important books I have ever read, "The Desire of Ages" --an account of the life & Ministry of Jesus Christ--.
Another very beautifully written book and small book is entitled, "Steps To Christ".

What I found interesting, though, is that a rather popular Nairaland member in one of the most popular sections of this site --the Romance section-(of whom I never conversed with nor do I know of his religious affiliation or his views on religion in general) even referenced one of her writings in support of a thread he created regarding relationships! How I even found that thread had to only have been through the Holy Spirit. So even the non-religious (if he is) see the God-given wisdom in her writings.

Mrs. White's books were never to take the position of being greater than the greatest book on earth--the bible. She even stated that numerous times. The messages and prophecy were to always line up with scripture....

An accusation was hurled regarding my personal stance on women NOT being called to "pastoral ministry" and yet Ellen White (a member of the SDA church) being a messenger of God.
She was a prophetess....not a pastor or elder.
As I have stated numerous times on Nairaland via multiple threads, women have been called to ministry. Women are very special in God's eyes and oftentimes are the backbone of the church.

Examples: Deborah, Esther, Miriam, and many more etc.,

Women fulfill countless roles within the church (including prophesying), however, "pastoring" is not one of them.
God has equipped and called men to head the church (pastoring) in that capacity. That has always been my conviction since giving my life to Christ.
I know that many will disagree with me and that's ok.

Part 7

A brief summary of the church's history and "founders" revolves around William Miller,  (a former Baptist minister) to whom the "Millerite" movement was named after.
Miller is best known for his belief that Christ' imminent return would be in 1844....(later termed the "Great Disappointment).
While Miller had the date right, he had the event wrong. Something did occur in 1844 concerning Christ, but it was not His second coming.
Some followers left the faith and the remaining studied what happened in 1844...and where they went wrong in their belief....hence the birth of Seventh-day Adventists.

The three prominent figures (or founders) to emerge during that time were also members of other denominations---before formally becoming "adventists".
They were James & Ellen G. White (husband/wife) and Joseph Bates.

God is greater than Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:27
For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

please I want you to contrast this two Bible portion: John 3:16; 17:3; Who deserved, the most honoure, and tell me what do you see wrong if interchanging the two personality?

wow! But between Jesus and God who is greater or who is the creator and most qualified to be the owner of the earth and everything as you said considering this two Bible portion John 14:28; Revelation 4:11... Please I'm open to more learning ma
