I wont blame Buhari in this instance but our corrupt judiciary

When the judiciary turns blind eye to executive impunity

Then the masses can only petition God and wait for the next election

emorse:
Who would you rather be? Your present self or an extended member of the Obama family? Remember all liars shall go to hell o.

treasuredkids:
You see how shallow u are in ur reasoning. You dnt even know what I look like or how I dress but you have concluded that I wear strange apparels. Biko, what do u even understand by that phrase "strange apparel" ? Its way beyond the physical wears in case u dnt know. Abeg go and read and have in depth knowledge b4 u start downloading ur ignorance for all to see. The pharisees( far to see) and saducees (sad to see),of our time.

BeeBeeOoh:
Religion might go into extinction 2day, but tradition will always remain..




Long live the King..

LONG LIVE Ooni

treasuredkids:
Hmmm!!! U are highly judgemental guy. Why dnt u let God judge my walk with him?
Gods word says the letter killeth but the spirit gives life. If going by the scripture u quote, if u read further down, u will see vs 11 that says "all the merchant people are cut down, all those who handle money are cut off"? Does it mean that every human being who trades with money are sinners and doomed to destruction? Why not explain that scripture to me. How about vs 18 that referred to " all men" no one excluded. Did u see that?
I will advise u make use of bible commentaries and studies when studying the word of God, it will enable u have a larger understanding and background of events that xterized the passage being read.
BTW, av u ever thought why it was difficult for Christ to be accepted by the custodians of the laws of moses during his time? They felt and were 100% certain they knew better than the whole lot who were not in that field. Yet Christ told them he was there to fulfill the law and not contradict it.

Smellymouth:

Sorry dear, with all your beauty

Ishilove:
My Lord, first Keshi, now Amodu.

Wasn't there a time Keshi was Amodu's assistant? I think that was in 2001, during the cup of Nations.

Is this coincidence, or something infinitely more sinister...?

#my opinion

Nnaabros:
Yes, we can be cleansed and gain forgiveness, a clean conscience and salvation through Jesus shed blood.

1 Pet. 2:24: “He himself bore our sins in his own body upon the stake, in order that we might be done with sins and live to righteousness.”

In view of all that Jehovah and his Son have done to cleanse us from sin, we should strive diligently to overcome sinful tendencies. It should be completely unthinkable for us deliberately to do anything that we know is sinful!)

Titus 2:13, 14: “Christ Jesus . . . gave himself for us that he might deliver us from every sort of lawlessness and cleanse for himself a people peculiarly his own, zealous for fine works.”

(Appreciation for this marvelous provision should move us to have a zealous share in those works that Christ assigned to his true followers.)

2 Cor. 5:14, 15: “The love the Christ has compels us, because this is what we have judged, that one man died for all; so, then, all had died; and he died for all that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised up.”

Nnaabros:
I am not free from sin

Simply believing is not enough to wash me clean. It needs to be show by works and actions


A young man may court a young lady, telling her that he loves her. But if he never asks her to marry him, is he really demonstrating that his love is thorough? Likewise, works are a means of demonstrating the genuineness of our faith and our love. If we do not obey God we do not really love him or have faith in the rightness of his ways. (1 John 5:3, 4) But we cannot earn salvation no matter what works we do. Eternal life is a gift from God through Jesus Christ, not payment for our works.—Eph. 2:8, 9.

Nnaabros:
Yes. Most people laugh at things they don't fully accept or understand yet

What beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses set them apart as different from other religions?

(1) Bible: Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, they hold to the Bible as the standard for all their beliefs.

(2) God: They worship Jehovah as the only true God and freely speak to others about him and his loving purposes toward mankind. Anyone who publicly witnesses about Jehovah is usually identified as belonging to the one group—“Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

(3) Jesus Christ: They believe, not that Jesus Christ is part of a Trinity, but that, as the Bible says, he is the Son of God, the first of God’s creations; that he had a prehuman existence and that his life was transferred from heaven to the womb of a virgin, Mary; that his perfect human life laid down in sacrifice makes possible salvation to eternal life for those who exercise faith; that Christ is actively ruling as King, with God-given authority over all the earth since 1914.

(4) God’s Kingdom: They believe that God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind; that it is a real government; that it will soon destroy the present wicked system of things, including all human governments, and that it will produce a new system in which righteousness will prevail.

(5) Heavenly life: They believe that 144,000 spirit-anointed Christians will share with Christ in his heavenly Kingdom, ruling as kings with him. They do not believe that heaven is the reward for everyone who is “good.”

(6) The earth: They believe that God’s original purpose for the earth will be fulfilled; that the earth will be completely populated by worshipers of Jehovah and that these will be able to enjoy eternal life in human perfection; that even the dead will be raised to an opportunity to share in these blessings.

(7) Death: They believe that the dead are conscious of absolutely nothing; that they are experiencing neither pain nor pleasure in some spirit realm; that they do not exist except in God’s memory, so hope for their future life lies in a resurrection from the dead.

( Last days: They believe that we are living now, since 1914, in the last days of this wicked system of things;

(9) Separate from the world: They earnestly endeavor to be no part of the world, as Jesus said would be true of his followers. They show genuine Christian love for their neighbors, but they do not share in the politics or the wars of any nation. They provide for the material needs of their families but shun the world’s avid pursuit of material things and personal fame and its excessive indulgence in pleasure.

(10) Apply Bible counsel: They believe that it is important to apply the counsel of God’s Word in everyday life now—at home, in school, in business, in their congregation. Regardless of a person’s past way of life, he may become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses if he abandons practices condemned by God’s Word and applies its godly counsel. But if anyone thereafter makes a practice of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, drug abuse, drunkenness, lying, or stealing, he will be disfellowshipped from the organization.

The above list briefly states some outstanding beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses but by no means all the points on which their beliefs are different from those of other groups.



Why the name Kingdom Hall?
Public gatherings at a Kingdom Hall focus primarily on the teachings of the Bible and its central message about “the kingdom of God,” the theme of Jesus’ ministry. (Luke 4:43) So the name Kingdom Hall, which was coined in the 1930’s, appropriately describes the purpose of these buildings—to promote true worship and serve as a hub for the preaching of the “good news of the kingdom.” (Matthew 24:14) Thus, Kingdom Halls are not used for social or commercial activities.






Yes. But there's more to that
How can a person know which religion is right?

(1) On what are its teachings based? Are they from God, or are they largely from men? (2 Tim. 3:16; Mark 7:7) Ask, for example: Where does the Bible teach that God is a Trinity? Where does it say that the human soul is immortal?

(2) Consider whether it is making known the name of God. Jesus said in prayer to God: “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.” (John 17:6) He declared: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Matt. 4:10) Has your religion taught you that ‘it is Jehovah you must worship’? Have you come to know the Person identified by that name—his purposes, his activities, his qualities—so that you feel you can confidently draw close to him?

(3) Is true faith in Jesus Christ being demonstrated? This involves appreciation of the value of the sacrifice of Jesus’ human life and of his position today as heavenly King. (John 3:36; Ps. 2:6- Such appreciation is shown by obeying Jesus—sharing personally and zealously in the work that he assigned to his followers. True religion has such faith that is accompanied by works.—Jas. 2:26.

(4) Is it largely ritualistic, a formality, or is it a way of life? God strongly disapproves of religion that is merely a formalism. (Isa. 1:15-17) True religion upholds the Bible’s standard of morality and clean speech instead of weakly going along with popular trends. (1 Cor. 5:9-13; Eph. 5:3-5) Its members reflect the fruits of God’s spirit in their lives. (Gal. 5:22, 23) So, those who adhere to true worship can be identified because they sincerely endeavor to apply Bible standards in their lives not only at their places of meeting but in their family life, at their secular work, in school, and in recreation.

(5) Do its members truly love one another? Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.

6) Is it truly separate from the world? Jesus said that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1 John 2:15-17.

(7) Are its members active witnesses concerning God’s Kingdom? Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14) What religion is really proclaiming God’s Kingdom as the hope of mankind instead of encouraging people to look to human rulership to solve their problems? Has your religion equipped you to share in this activity, and to do it from house to house as Jesus taught his apostles to do?—Matt. 10:7, 11-13; Acts 5:42; 20:20.

paulGrundy:
In addition to that, JW's believe that obeying to teachings of the governing body as showed in their literature, is what will give you salvation, as opposed to faith in Jesus' death and ressurection.

Handsomecole:
The problem with JW's is that they want to impart their own understanding of the bible without listening to yours. They believe theirs is the best. They expect you to hear their own and attend even their programs. Yet they wil never attend your own church program if you invite them. As a Catholic im ready to listen to them, what I do is to bring out my rosary for us to pray a decade before I listen to their own and if they say "NO", I also tell them "NO". case close. Respect my belief and I will respect yours. The word of God is to be shared. You tell me yours and I will tel my mine. So we can both learn from each other.

jboy73:
Christianity is as divided as Nigeria.

Nonsense.

I share the word of God with them.
