LOL.. Same shiii I've been wondering here

Imagine, every idea or belief system one holds turns to his or her religion. How fallacious¿

can you define religion please?

"A foolish God says in his heart, there are no other Gods" - logicboy03

The god of atheism has blinded some people that they cannot see beyond their noses.

davien:
Well...If you're a christian...that's what you're bred to believe...
But if you aren't then that statement becomes nonsensical...because the bible is riddled with foolish ideas....like how birds blood could cure leprosy and how stars can be trampled on...

you see, your are defending your belief,your faith your religion. it is nonsensical to you becos you dont belief in wat the guy said. And honestly to me wat you said is really nonsensical too because its contrary to my belief if you like my faith.

JediGrace:
Atheists are irreligious

substantiate your claim.

valmunich:
How dumb and clueless is this OP

So every ideology and religion are now synonymous in nature ¿

you have simply expressed your ignorance. present a superior argument and let people decide.

DProDG:
Why do we bother arguing about definitions when we've got dictionaries?


Role models do not equate to gods. Even if you decide to use that word, bear in mind that it has different meanings and does not always mean deity as used in the religious sense.

Also, being enthusiastic about something/someone doesn't make you religious.

you have just spoken like a sociologist of religion. religion is about being obsessed about anything.

davien:
I'm not aware of any ideology I follow nor idolize...

The fact that houses that God does not exist and you are tenaciously holding on to that belief and ready to be apologetic about it is enough

johnydon22:
Uuuuhm so atheism is a religion Eeeehn am starting to wonder when "OFF" is a tv station.

yes atheism is way of life and its a belief that some people hold religiously the way Christian holds Jesus; very religiously.

davien:
So tell us the ideologies that atheists share, I'm sure you're the usual guy who copies and pastes stuff without any knowledge....So you'll probably start listing materialism...and scientific axioms that have nothing to do with atheism.

your assumption about me is wrong to start with. I wonder if i have ever even met you.

Note that i did not say that there is a general ideology. But for clarity you share yours and i will point you to your god from it. Dare to try?

Moving from known to the unknown,:-The forbidden fruit leads to the knowledge of good and evil. The word knowledge should be noted. For it to be offered by the devil, and its name not being expressly stated in the bible shows that it is a secrete that must be guarded so that man's sanctity will be preserved before God.

therefore the "forbidden fruit" is a quest for hidden knowledge. That simply refers to esotericism . That is prying into the spirit world by demonic means. any knowledge so acquired usually bring about some realisations (eyes opened) to how you can communicate, manipulate and dominate fellow human being especially without their consent and by so doing making yourself to become their god. That is what Satan wanted to do to God.This is anti God. God wants humans to dominate nature not fellow human.

So the devil presented as snake gave them this esoteric lesson on spiritual realisation so that they (adam & eve) will join him to challenge God.

All human beings are religious without any exception. It is what they worship and how they worship that differs. For anyone to say he/she does not have a religion is not true. This is because we all hold ideologies or believes systems. For instance if you are a strong believer in Carl Max's philosophy of life, that will be the guiding principle that governs your life. So in a sense Carl Max is your god who's opinion guides your life. You have idolised him.

If you are so bound to anything or anyone then you have a god in them ad so you are religious.

Atheist take note : you have a god and a religion .

@folaski
if he exists he is a fool
he is immoral
and he is not fair
he will not judge in any way you can anticipate or in a way humans can phantom
because apparently his ways/judgement are beyond any of us
he could take your hell and me heaven and you don't have the right,power, means to question of even understand his justice
Either way you lose
you live your life on earth like a slave
and that gives you no guarantee at all even if Jesus is indeed God.
So don't be so arrogant to assume that you have understood Jesus and you can hold him ransom, that because you did his bid then he must take you to heaven.
it does not work that way
If you gamble with Christ only Christ wins, and you can only hope that you'd win too, but don't fill your self righteous head with certainty,

I pity you cos of your confusion

i cant download any of the links. who can help me out. am only getting error messages that the links are not valid. thanks

Bekeee:
Read through the lines. Have you asked yourself why the Op wouldn't welcome other contributions apart from the ones stated? Bye for now.

well then, since i am so ignorant to understand what you are asking me to do and you are not ready to say it in plain language that ignorant people like me can understand, then I think the most honourable thing for me to do is to just keep quiet so that i will not be a part of the people derailing this thread.

Like i said earlier I can SEE beyond your writing. belief it or not.
Good luck and God bless you .

Bekeee:
First, no one has said you are being restricted from posting your comments and or expressing your opinions. Clearly stated, nairaland is a public domain which neither belongs to you nor I. Therefore, unlike threads where you make your general contributions on an open topic to whomever it may concern, sensitive issues such as this (referring to this thread) should not be compromised as they require an extra ordinary knowledge to help profer solutions to different cases (just as the holy spirit directs) rather than misleading people,(especially the ignorant ones)

In other words, as a man of God that you are, rather than exchanging words/texts/messages as the case may be, courtesy demands you follow due protocols (as it concerns this thread). You should at least seek the consent of the OP, most especially, as you claim not to be here as a competitor (even tho no one is here based on that, but to fulfil that which the Lord has sent them)

Also, you can correct me if I am wrong, as the OP already stated earlier " javascript:v

well my dear friend at least i thank God that no one here has ever pointed to me as misleading people. on the other hand "what is the needful ? & how is it done?

Bekeee:
Seconded...

@folaski, do the needful!!!

my dear friend pls pardon my ignorance. kindly explain the needful & how to go about it.
thanks

Tranglatar:
@ folaski

I may not be gifted as you but my Catholic background informs me that a Priest cannot come to another Parish to celebrate Mass without the express permission of the Parish priest. That would amount to exhibition of pride and arrogance hence is same as intrusion

Our zeal to serve GOD in HIS flock should be guided by humility !!

Why am i saying this?

The mode you entered into the thread to render service was not the best. The way ebankole entered to render service maybe of interest to you. First he restrained himself till he had the express permission of the thread OP

That way the flock remained ONE in HIM !!! even with two guys rendering service. Johnwell the OP actually deserves much praise for his humility to allow the Holy Spirit increase while he himself "decrease" to the glory of GOD.

unguided zealousness can lead to another thing

it is a bit difficult for me to see your point CLEARLY without prejudice. This is nairaland. its a public domain where there is freedom of reasonable expression of opinions. i have started a number of threads and i never restrict or have to give permission to anybody before they post their comments. However if you feel aggrieved by the way I use of my gift, am so sorry i cannot help you. its your opinion. You may as well report me to the moderator if i have done anything wrong. I am not here as a competitor but here to use my gift & time freely to enhance the work the OP started & who i belief is working for God. If you feel threatened......too bad. As a priest you should see me as a co labourer in the vine yard To glorify my LORD JESUS CHRIST. Anyway they did the same to my Lord in His home town.

You have delivered the message you were sent to deliver and i have seen beyond your writing.
Have the dust.

TOCHI007:
Ebankole good morning...more grace. Pls i am always dreaming I'm falling of a balcony. Its d balcony of my fathers house(a 2-storey building). I always fall off this balcony unto d roof of a nearby bungalow. Pls interpret.

He who thinks he stands should take heed lest he falls say the word of the Lord.

Rising in life is not so much of a problem for you but sustaining your success.
pls pray against the spirit of failure and retrogression so that you will not be the least among your fathers children. pray against every ancestral boundaries that the devil or even humans might have set for your family. e.g. attempt to be more successful that your father is good but the limiting power may pull you down. Note that no matter how big a local cat might be he cannot match a goat in size. That is a generational limitation. Apply that knowledge in you prayers. Pray in Jesus name.
take note of this bible verse:

Colossians: 2. 14. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Isaiah: 49. 24. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 25. But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Iamoilprince:
Good morning pastor ebankole,

I had this dream last night.

I was in a luxurious bus with mostly student and we where going for evangelism. In that bus i had a bible customized with my name. We drove round some cities.

Again, i was at my church, the Head of workers in training called me n said a sister was 6months pregnant for me. In the dream i cant remember having sexual intercourse with her. The head of workers in training urged me to go see the girl and dat he was going to follow me. So i was wondering why a girl would pregnant for me without letting me know for six months. Later in the dream i saw the girl, she came to church and i saw her stomach large like a pregnant woman.

This is the 2nd time am dreaming abt pregnancy. Few days ago i dreamt my unmarried aunt was pregnant.

In real life, i dnt date any girl in my church, tho am admiring one girl i told people i might likely marry.

Pls help me interpret.

Thanks

pregnancy out of wedlock is not Godly. keep that at the back of your mind.
The first dream has to do with your purpose in life. You are supposed to be a preacher of the word of God. You are to carry the word in your HEART/LIFE to many places. You have a sure ministry. Do not attempt to work alone . You are supposed to be a part(vital part) of a team. so read (study)the bible as if you will die if you dont read it. meditate deeply in it EVERY DAY. You cannot afford to do otherwise.
The second dream appears to be in two forms:
1. Your aunt is supposed to be married. Her deliverance seems to be attached to your ministry. You need to minister to her. pray for God's wisdom & don't look down on yourself. With God nothing is impossible.
2. the 2nd pregnant lady is a terrible distraction. be very careful. When you are ready to make your choice of wife PLS INVOLVE A MORE EXPERIENCED MAN OF GOD. You are a Priest of God, anointed for the ministry so you cannot afford to do it like other guys would do it. Otherwise remember Samson & King Ahab.
When eventually you are engaged dont delay your marriage so that the devil will not take advantage of you.
Respect to the man of God.

funkeabosede:
dreamt I fought with a lady and beat her then went to a restaurant and while there some men came to arrest the people there and they asked me to follow to go and give a statement while we are going one of them took my son and I asked him to give him back but he refused dat until we got to the station when I wanted to carry him my son didn't want to come he preferred to stay with the man

fighting is a physical expression of anger. Angers is a very dangerous thing as it can destroy what you've being building over time , be it relationship (with your child) or career e.t.c. take note of Ephesians 4:26 Ephesians: 4. 26. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27. Neither give place to the devil.
you will understand it better if you read from the Living Bible Version.
1. anger will expose you to demonic influence if not well managed.
2. your child will grow to hate it and dislike you for it.
3. the repercussion is that the child that is supposed to take care of you when you become vulnerable(old) may be running from you. pray for deliverance from anger.

and make you specific request for that prayer so as not to derail this thread.

A stitch in time saves nine.

Did you find yourself in danger or you had a dream indicating that your life is in danger then say the following prayers:

1. Help me, O Lord my God! Save me according to Your mercy so that they may know that this is Your hand, that You, Lord, have done it! (Psalm 109:26-27)

2. Deliver me, O Lord my God, from evil men and preserve me from violent men who plan evil things in their hearts. (Psalm 140:1-2)

3. Pull me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me because You are my strength. (Psalm 31:4)

4. Do not deliver me to the will of my enemies because false witnesses have risen against me  and such as breath out violence. (Psalm 27:12)

I had this dream in the week my mother passed on(was an undergraduate then). I saw myself in chains totally helpless in what looked like a dark coven filled with fierce looking women. I was in their midst and all of a sudden my mother appeared with a bible in her hand and she started rebuking them in Jesus name. suddenly a door opened and the witches (more than one) left the 'coven' with my mother. simultaneously the chains were broken but I was kind of contemplating whether to run out thru the door or stay when somebody came in thru the door a young girl who told me my mother asked her to give me a fresh fish soup then I woke up.
coincidently, she went to buy pepper (grounded) and fresh fish on the day she passed on. please prayerfully help me with this ( recent ones will come soon)

my brother has done justice to that.

I had dis dream on 27/1/2015

I saw wen 2 men remove a poster dat are been place in a man building at the fron of the house, to replace it wit there own poster. Wen the owner of the house notice dat. He came out of the house and start to ask the 2 men, who removed who removed the poster i place on my wall? The 2 men denied. So the man was shouting to them and dat they are the one dat remove it, dat if they keep on deniying dat he will take them to swear and dat if they swear they will die. They 2 men kept quiet and become afraid and start shaking. So people around plead to the man to forgive them. Later the man forgive them and went inside his house. Wat was written on the man poster he placed on his wall that they 2 men removed was EVERGREEN.

2.

waooooo!!!!!!

Glory thieves & monitoring spirit rendered powerless by spiritual anger. I cant ignore that dream.
Your glory is being announced to the world and the devil wants to quietly still it. They are watching & waiting for the opportuned moment to strike.

However, you should pray for full restoration as that was not accomplished in that dream. The poster must be replaced through prayer or else the assailants lack of resistance could be as a result of their achieved goal.

That was a great revelation that must not be ignored.

use Isaiah 60:1-2 &

Isaiah: 54. 17. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Joel: 2. 25. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Those are God's promises for you. fight for you glory meeen, its worth it.

Dreams can also come as a result of intense activity of the day. If you have been passionately involved in an activity during the day the tendency that you will dream about those activities are very high. Such dreams could be discarded.

Ecclesiastes: 5. 3. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.


However, if after a while the dream comes back , maybe after the euphoria of the earlier involvement in the activity dreamt about, then it should be given a thought.

Don't generally ignore your dreams.
God bless you.

chival:
Thank you very much. May God continue to bless you with wisdom and knowledge.

Thank you and God bless you too.

Dreams are very powerful means or ways by which God communicates with us. If the dream is then repeated, its an indication that the matter is urgent and very important. In such situation a stitch in time without procrastination will save a lot of fasting and energy.
Actions that should follow such dreams are
1. identifying what the word of God is saying about the dream.
2. Prayerfully claim or reject the revelation according to the promise of the word of God.
3. Fasting may be necessary
4. steps of faith should follow.

chival:
What does it mean to see a sponge repeatedly in the dream? Thanks.

Repeated dreams indicate the gravity or seriousness of the matter

To your dream sponge indicates that you need to look carefully into your life for hidden or secret sins that must be dealt with asap bfore they are exposed or attract the wrath of God.

its urgent

note the following scriptures

Psalm: 90. 7. For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 8. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 9. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

Psalm: 51. 6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. -

Pray and specifically confess any sin known to you alone or to a co culprit. Admit and ask for his cleansing in the name of Jesus.
Dont pretend with God oooo. say it as it is.

May you never go beyond the mercy of God in Jesus name.

Sometimes we have dreams and we know their meanings but we don't know how to either claim the revealed blessings or to ward off the revealed evil. Are you in that situation? Post your concerns here and lets guide you in specific biblical prayers as the dreams are also interpreted.

God bless you.

thanks for that interpretation sir, may God bless you. this is
another one
I had a dream that I saw myself and my colleagues from
secondary school in a school compound. while they were busy
writing an exam, it seemed I was outside and when I realised
my state. someone whose face I didnt recall told me to run
and catch up with them, as I made to run and meet up while
following a bush path, I saw what looked like a white unicorn
(horse or goat with horn) and I became afraid and ran back
another path in the bush, only this time I saw a very black
goat, it frightened me too and it seems to be speaking words I
do not understand, it came nearer and I woke up(i had this
dream sometime in 2008/2009). thanks for your help sir.
I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling

[quote]As a child of God, you are due for promotion. Your mates are having their attempt at their promotional examinations and you were not among them( wondering & time waster spirits). An angel is pointing you in the right direction but these spirits of backwardness are blocking your ways.

note these scriptures and use them in prayers:

1. 2 Timothy: 1. 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2. Jeremiah: 29. 11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

3. 1 John: 2. 14. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

banish the spirit of fear. take up challenges that you will otherwise ant to run away from. don't look down on yourself . if their is vacancy o opportunity to climb higher take it. kill the fear and dont turn back from challenges. resist the devil and he will flee from your ways of progress

I PRAY THAT YOU WILL COME BACK TO SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY ON THIS THREAD SOON IN JESUS NAME.

Pst bankole

I had dis dream recently dat I was in a market and I ask sumone where I can buy one thing in particular which I can't remember,,, d person I ask directed me to sumwhere but on getting there I met a big and tall dog who was on chain talking and telling to sit and wait for what I want to buy but later this big dog of 4 legs started playing passing football and dis dof was playing it with all his 4 legs

I believe the Lord has used ebankole to speak to a part of this issue. However , if you are not married be very careful in choosing. Dont chose by any human standard, seek the face of God about it OR ELSE the wrong woman ( with the spirit of adultery )will play you around and mess up your life. It would have been easier if you had killed that dog in the dream. Dogs represents the spirit of sexual immorality.
THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS WARNING FROM THE LORD. BE CAREFUL.
God bless you

Eumaca:
God bless you real good sir,
Kindly explain these dreams to me.
I was walking down a street and decided to buy tatashe and tomatoes from a woman that sells by roadside. I chose the portion that I wanted, while packing it for me another woman came to buy some stuff too. She attended to that woman, when she turned to give me my own I felt she wants to cheat me so I didn't give her money. Collected what she gave me, opened it behold it was entirely different thing (dry pepper). I became very annoyed and left her without buying anything from her again.

Secondly on three occasions after the above dream. I have dreamt of buying something from a woman after paying with a higher denomination of currency she will pretend not knowing that she owes me some balance. When I eventually demanded she will give me old money(not currently in use) with smaller new currency just to confuse me. On each case I found out and returned back the old currencies and collected my due balance though she normally put up resistance. The last one I was so pissed off that I was telling someone in that dream that I won't ever buy anything from that woman again that she is fraudlent.

Thank you.

You evidently have the grace of God on your life that the devil is interested in but God is on your side for the ability to recognise and contend with a spiritual thief who is trying drain you. Start or Continue to use that grace to glorify God. E.g. if you are gifted in talking then be God's mouth piece as well. That's just for example you know your gift. (Tithe issue; don't joke with it henceforth ).

Secondly, there is someone around you in your line of business now or very soon(the street you are walking on) that will want to dupe you through your patronage (they have recognised your ability & are out to exploit it to their advantage). For example You may be used to sell adulterated or counterfeit materials ( they will lower the quality you ordered for the price of the original) be very vigilant. It is sure that you will meet these kind of people in your career. Once you discover that, don't compromise ,it may dent your image now & in the future because there will be witnesses for or against you when it matters.


I wish you a fruitful career in life.
