Their grouse, it was learnt, is over the non-payment of what they termed their allowances, which amounted to N1.2 billion.


The protesting workers must be sick. The era where some federal workers in some powerful ministries get illegal allowances is over. All allowances not captured in the appropriation act or recognized by extant regulations is illegal and should not be paid.

dadee007:
The reason for this article is that so many people are getting attacked nowadays as so many evil people see acid as the punishment of sorts for whatever they feel offended by. So many victims in the aftermath have had their lives changed forever because of this. The victims, mainly women, do not have the prescience to know what is about to befall them and they most definitely would probably have fared better if someone had given them information on what to do in the event of such an unfortunate and unexpected eventuality.

What is an acid?

In chemistry, an acid is defined as a substance that turns litmus red, neutralizes alkalis, and such things; but for the purpose of this article, I will define for the layman thus:

An acid, (at least the ones usually employed for these dastardly acts) is a corrosive liquid that is the equivalent of liquid fire.

Yes, it is fire and it sometimes does more damage than fire itself. So have it at the back of your mind that an acid is just fire.

Many people know that if your clothes catch fire, you should drop, roll and try to smother the fire. But people also need to know what to do if it is acid that they have on them.

What to do if acid is thrown at you.

If you see any liquid thrown at you,(even if it's water) especially at your face (because this is usually the site targeted by assailants for maximum damage), and you don't have time to duck and dodge, do all these things in quick succession:

1.Use your hand to shield your face from the liquid coming towards you at the same time close your eyes. Flee and while fleeing from the source of the attack, (because they can throw more at you) shout for help as you flee and shout as loud as you can.

Now, this is the most important part so I have to explain before I say the next steps.

Concentrated acid is highly destructive. To give you a mental picture of what it can do, if a drop is dropped on someone's hand, it will start burning or "eating" the surface where it is dropped. If nothing is done to halt its progress, it would continue till it gets to the bone and if nothing is done still, it can "eat" away the bone as well.

This is to show you the power of what you might be dealing with.

If unfortunately you are hit by the liquid, what you do, and do fast, will determine the outcome. The key word here is WATER.

You need water, and you need lots of it.

2. As you flee, either shout for people to bring water, or if you know a water source like a pool that won't take too much time to get to like a running tap, head there, if you see shops, grab water and use, you really need water and you need it badly.

If you can get to running water, get there and put the affected part under running water you need to be under continuous running water for at least 30 mins. This might sound odd but don't rush to the Hospital. It is the things you do immediately in the aftermath that would determine how severe the burns will be. You must be desperate to save yourself and reduce future disfigurement. Water, Water, Water. The mistake that people make is that they douse water quite all right, but they douse just like a cup etc and thereafter, head for hospital. The acid will continue destroying the patient's tissue all the way to the hospital and might even spread to other parts because of the little water.

To buttress this point, Two female British teenage charity workers had acid thrown at them in Zanzibar, and luckily for them, they were not too far from the sea so they dashed to the sea to wash off and today, the only way you would know anything happened to them is probably from slight skin colour difference on the site of the acid attack.

3. Don't put anything like oils, creams, ointments etc. as this might adversely affect the treatment doctors will give you later. Water is all you need before you get to the hospital.

4. Remove all the jewelry, clothing and apparel which had contact with acid.

5. When you have done all these things, head for hospital.



Prevention is better than cure though, so:

As a note of caution,

Be wary of someone coming towards you with a cup, bottle etc.

Be aware and alert of your surroundings and of people moving suspiciously around you.

Watch out for people who might bear a grudge against you. And if you see them approaching menacingly, run and alert people around as you do so.

I am so disgusted to read stories like this...

Why some peeps will ask money to the person they juz met, as if they have a joint account ...

I mean anyone that does all this shii has no shame at all!

marvelck:
Most times, when a man cheats on his wife, it doesnt mean the man no longer love or have feelings for his wife.

Most men cant do without tasting other girls. Its in their DNA.

When a man goes out to cheat, he'll still come home to his wife.

And even after several years of cheating, the man wil stil be with his wife till old age.

And even after several years of cheating, the woman wil stil be with her husband till old age.

Cheating sometimes doesnt mean absence of love, but just a selfish act of adventure by some.

hahn:
Human authority give punishment to citizens when they err. It is simply a question of keeping the citizens in check. Religion IS politics and it is nothing more than a tool in the hand of authority to control the masses. Laws vary from community to community. In the US, you can walk into several stores and buy a gun but you cannot do the same in Nigeria. The question of civil laws vary depending on the culture and people. And there are international laws that apply across borders.

The constitution doesn't claim to be all loving. The constitution doesn't claim you will be forgiven for believing in the son of the judge. The constitution doesn't permit one part to kill the other and say "oh, they are my chosen ones so what they did is for MY glory". The constitution is consistent. If you kill someone in the north, you get the same punishment(unless if you get leg of course).

The bible is inconsistent and it's god is partial, genocidal, narcissistic, confused, incompetent and non existent. All wrapped into one word. Imaginary.

Still waiting for the picture of your god though

Money paid to you can be used for you.



I thought god didn't need anything. All of a sudden, he needs tiny buildings to be worshiped in?

He needs private jets, nice cars, bodyguards, mansions etc while millions of children die of starvation? While millions of people die from diseases? Do you realize that

As a result almost 9.2 million children under-five die every year. A further 3.3 million babies are stillborn. Most of the 25,000 children under five that die each day are concentrated in the world's poorest countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Source: www.who.int/pmnch/media/press_materials/fs/fs_mdg4_childmortality/en/

and your god need places to be worshipped? Isn't something wrong here? Isn't that a corrupt god? Using money that should be diverted to better things to fulfil it's desire to have songs and praises rendered to it for eternity? Isn't this a pure case of misplaced priorities?

Sure I will. But I will not place curses on him and his generation nor burn him and his generation, even the ones unborn, in hell. That would only make me a psychopath. A loving father would spank, forgive and move on.

Jehovah claims to be all loving but still has not found it within itself to forgive the devil. That is what is referred as a bad temper.

Form light and create darkness, create peace (that is, for his exiled people) and creating calamity (for Babylon), …. Read the verses preceding and following 7 open-mindedly and get the import of Isaiah 45:7.

Isaiah 45:1-7New International Version (NIV)

45 “This is what the Lord says to his anointed,
to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of
to subdue nations before him
and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
so that gates will not be shut:
2 I will go before you
and will level the mountains[a];
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
3 I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,
of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
and bestow on you a title of honor,
though you do not acknowledge me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting
people may know there is none besides me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 I form the light and create darkness,
I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the Lord, do all these things.

I doubt you realize just how ridiculous the whole statement is. God here sounds like a pitbull in a bad mood.

hahn:
I remember when I still used to go to church to serve my imagination(god). What I hated the most, and eventually pushed me away from religion generally was the fact that you cannot ask the preacher questions while he is preaching.

Questions like:

Preacher: And John 3:16 says, that for god so loved world he gave his only begotten son. That whoever believes in him shall perish and not have ever lasting life.

Me: What is god's gain by burning people who he created? If god is all forgiving, why can't he just forgive them and move on? Who everlasting life epp?

Preacher: God told me......

Me: Do you have a record of the conversation? Do you have a picture of god?

Preacher: Do not rob god of his money. Pay your tithe.

Me: How do you intend to transfer god's money, after we have paid it to you, to him? Which bank account does he use? What does he use the money for?

Preacher: We are sinners because Eve ate the apple!

Me: If apples are that bad, why do they taste so sweet today?

Preacher: God loves you

Me: Then why is he thretening to send me to hell

Preacher: Satan is evil

Me: But god created evil. Isaiah 45:7, I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.

donigspain:
Do you want to be indispensable at work?

Okay, let's be honest, nobody is indispensable especially at work. However, there are certain tips and strategies that you can start applying today to help you build a strong brand for yourself and make you almost indispensable at work especially at this time of economic downturn in Nigeria.

1. Take ownership and do not be afraid to lead:

Companies and bosses want people who are not afraid to take ownership and lead. Since great leaders are made not born, the best way to become a leader at work is to be willing to take ownership of projects. Is the company starting a new project/scheme/ product? Do not be afraid to volunteer and lead. The good thing about this is that you will get noticed and it will be for a good reason.

2. Embrace change:

“The only constant thing, they say, is change”. How you react to the change is what will determine if it will have a positive or a negative impact on you. It is usually not advisable to swim against the tide. What then should you do? Embrace the change and wait for an opportunity to turn it into a positive one.

3. Be extraordinary by going the extra mile:

The difference between being ordinary and extra-ordinary is the 'extra' in the 'ordinary'. Always be willing to go the extra mile. Be willing to do extra work that might be assigned to you, be willing to work a little late and be willing to help make other people’s job easier. Simply put, do the extra.

4. Know what matters to the company:

No matter what your role is, your worth will be measured by how much value you can add to the company’s bottom line. This is why it is important to know what matters to the company and position your job role to help the company achieve its aim.

5. Offer solutions to problem(s) in your area:

Are the people in your department or unit struggling with a particular issue you can proffer solutions to? Do not wait to be called. Always be the problem solver and be willing to lend a helping hand.

6. Know what matters to your boss:

If your boss is passionate about a particular project or job, then it is your duty to also be passionate about the same job. If you are not getting along well with your boss, it might simply be because you both are working in opposite direction. Find out what your boss cares about and help them get it done.

7. Focus on results and not on processes:

Nobody cares how long or how much effort you have put into a work to get results. What the company and your boss care about is what results (KPI) you can show for your efforts. It is therefore important to focus more on activities that can help you get results rather than on the processes you have to go through to get it done.

8. Aim for excellence:

Need I say more about this? Aim for excellence. Excellence is a value that you should seek to achieve. Make your work stand out by paying little attention to details. Have a presentation to deliver, make it beautiful and appealing apart from filling it up with the required details.

9. Excel in a few skills:

You cannot be everything to everyone. Pursue a few set skills and become the go-to-person for that skill. I noticed a skill-gap in photography at my workplace. The company had to pay freelance photographers for any event or content requiring photography coverage. Next I enrolled in a cinematography school and within 3 months I was already the go-to-person for shoots. Even the MD/CEO had a professional photo shoot courtesy of mine new skills. I've been able to save cost and develop more contents for my company.

10. Keep your promises to the manager and colleagues:

Promises are meant to be broken? No and especially not at work. Never break promises made either to your manager, boss or colleagues. Keep your words and if there is need for any change, communicate this as early as possible.

11. Network extensively:

How far you will go in 3 - 5 years time will be determined by the quality of your network. Start building your network now so that when you need it, you will already have them in place. Luckily, technology has come to play a huge role in how we relate in the 21st century. Leverage on the social and professional media to get started and do not forget to build personal offline relationships with people.

12. Keep up with advancement in your fields:

I once heard a story of someone who submitted her CV to a recruitment firm and unfortunately was not called for interview. Nine (9) years later, she was called and was asked to bring a copy of her recent CV. Guess what? She came and submitted the same CV she submitted 9 years ago. During the interview process, she was asked why nothing changed on her CV. Her reply was that it was because nothing really had changed. This means she did not add any qualification or skill set to her person. I am sure no one will want to employ such a person.

13. Be a thought leader in your field:

One of the ways to excel at work is to become a thought leader in your field. This means you need to know everything and anything that is important in your field that can help you carry out your task easier and better. No one in your company should know more than you in your niche.

14. Ignore distractions and focus on your objectives:

What are your career objectives? How do they fit into your role and daily duties? Do you have a clear set of goals you want to achieve? Knowing all these will keep you from being distracted either with politics in the office or any other thing that can cause distraction and derail you from your set objectives.

15. Take initiatives:

Do not wait to be told what to do. If you know that there is a particular report or task that you need to do on a regular basis, then do not wait to be told to perform the task. Anticipate tasks and get it done without being told.

16. Always be willing to share knowledge:

An indispensable worker will not be he who has all the knowledge but someone who is willingly to share them as well. By sharing your knowledge, you help other appreciate what you do and what it means. When your boss understands what you know and how you do, he or she begins to understand and appreciate you better.

17. Anticipate your boss‘s needs and make yourself invaluable:

Anticipate your boss’s needs and make yourself available. Help them do their job and you will come in handy for recommendation when the need arises.

18. Seek to gain more knowledge:

Attend seminars, career fairs and lectures. Do not wait for the company to send you for a training before you attend them. This is because these trainings are ultimately for you and will only help you become a better person. Do not wait until the company is training her staff.

19. Develop good judgment and do not be afraid to stand up:

Develop a sense for good judgment and do not be afraid to speak up either for yourself or your colleagues.

20. Stay sharp mentally and have a positive attitude:

It is often said that a bad attitude is like a flat tire. It won’t take you anywhere. Develop a good attitude towards everything; the company, your boss and your work.

1 Corinthians 3:11English Standard Version (ESV)

11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

It reffered to the them individually not as a class or collective group, because the disciples didn't form a special structure that interpretes doctrine, although a special Jerisalem council was set up, but it was to reconcile differences in doctrine not to formulate new doctrine, even at that some leaders did not conform to the councils recommendations. Early christains relied ONLY on the direction of the holy-spirit.



Don't understand you.

paulGrundy:
Matthew 24:44-51King James Version (KJV)

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Take note of the bolded [size=16pt]it was in singular term not plural[/size], hence to imply that its refering to a single individual, not a group of men, as some groups imply, here is a n excerpt of a watchtower quote, similitudes of theses teaching exist in other groups, but am using the watchtower as an example, because the structure, foundation of the religion, rests on this scripture:

"That faithful slave is the channel through which Jesus is feeding his true followers in this time of the end. It is vital that we recognize the faithful slave. Our spiritual health and our relationship with God depend on this channel."

Watchtower 2013 Jul 15 p.20

"“The faithful and discreet slave” was appointed over Jesus’ domestics in 1919. That slave is the small, composite group of anointed brothers serving at world headquarters during Christ’s presence who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food. When this group work together as the Governing Body, they act as “the faithful and discreet slave.”"

jw.org 10th Nov 2012

^^^ the logic is flawed because

1. Jesus reffered to just a singular person, not a group of people.

2. This now raises a serious question: What proof do they have to prove that they were specially hand picked by Jesus in 1919? The scriptures point to Jesus as the only link between God and man jh 14:6. Even the apostles who were called by Jesus had miracles and signs to prove that they were sent by God Heb 2:4. A mere claim is not enough proof, because talk is cheap!
One has to be careful, considering the fact that Jesus warned us against imposters and anti-christ (those mocking him). Mattew 24:5, john 10: 1, 12-13.
In my opinion, if you make a grandoise claim as such without backing it with proof, you are making a mockery of Jesus.

3. Faith in Jesus is required for salvation, not loyalty to any organization. John 3:16, romans 10:9,10.
Here is a word of Jesus we need to take seriously;

John 10:9King James Version (KJV)

9 I am the door: by me [size=16pt]if any man enter in, he shall be saved[/size], and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

John 10:1King James Version (KJV)

10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

^^^ the scriptures above is very self explanatory!

who then is the faithful and wise servant?

The faithful and wise servant clearly refers to the early church foundational [size=14pt]leaders[/size], how do we know that?

2 Corinthians 4:5New International Version (NIV)

5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Romans 1:1 ESV

Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's word.

The Apostles proclaimed themselves to be the servant of Jesus apointed to look after his sheep, with the scriptures above, one calls to mind, Jesus' words to Peter telling him to feed his sheep.

Even at that, the Apostles taught only Jesus and emphasized him, and tried not to exalt themselves above Jesus, can we say so about denominations of Today who downplays the messianic role of Jesus?

They laid the foundation, with Jesus being the chief corner-stone.

Ephesians 2:19-20New International Version (NIV)

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household,

20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

^^^ simple! Full-stop!

Hence any other teaching or claims of “new light“ is apostasy. The teachings of the apostles all had their root to Jesus, can we say the same for ALL "new lights" taught?

Who then is the evil servant? The evil servant is that one who departs from the teachings of the apostles and prophets, e.g Denmas 2timothy 4:10 apostle Paul talked about handing such one to satan for the destruction of the flesh 1Corithains 5:5.

The scripture is still acting itself out today it has not been fully fulfilled. What matters to Us is our faithfulness all loyalty to the feeding of the sheep (preaching the word). But then we must highly skeptical about those who claim that our salvation depends on them.

johnw74:
There is no misleading with me, you are lying, and the confusion is definitely with you.

sounds like you probably think the Holy Spirit is "a thing" like fake jw do, perhaps you are fake jw,
with that being the case you couldn't be told anything, except perhaps that God is "a god", "a two headed god", you would believe that,
go talk with fake jw they understand confusion.

johnw74:
You will have to work out your own confusion.
perhaps start here:

Luk_3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

johnw74:
The Son isn't the Father, you should read the OP again.

And concerning the verse you allude to, you will notice that the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove,
and the Father said from heaven "this is my beloved Son"
There you have the the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit together at the same time,
the three persons in God. However this thread is about the Word being God, and not about the Son being the Father which He not,
He is God though, as the OP shows.

Beckybeky:
Please I need mature advice if possible from professionals and career persons.

Since late last year, I have been pursuing this job stuff from Shell which someone close to me who works there referred me to.
It is a contract job which will last for about 4 years. It was supposed to start late last year but due to the delay in change of govt, it couldn't.

Last month, I got another new job. The pay is a little below 100k and there is career progression and assured promotions in this new job.

Now my referrer in the Shell job has told me get ready to start on the contract job by next month. This one pays above 200k but its just for 4 years period.
So am confused and don't know what to do right now.
Am thinking that this Shell job might connect me to a permanent and bigger position if I go for it.

What's your view about this?
Nobody has been able to say "Yes or No" concerning this so far..

Here is the question *

A situation where you get waylaid in you car by armed robbers and then after the "cocking of guns,the threats and other physical assaults"

They pop up the usual question
" Where is the money ?"

Does saying you don't have money a sin ? When you really do. Can that be Categorised into a sin for lieing or not?

In other way round,you got shot nd "DIED" Where will you end up ? Heaven or hell ?

(everyone knows when such statement is said, they rather waste people who has nothing)

Most people view about this wll be that's not a sin ;God wll understand but It was made straight in the bible to speak the truth no matter the consequences..#


Genesis 3:4
Leviticus 19:11
Psalm 119:163
Proverbs 12:22
Proverbs 13:5
These are some bible verses that talked about "Falsehood"..

Avoiding Truck Accidents

The safest way to pass any truck is on a straight patch of road and as quickly as possible. Bumps in the road, heavy winds, shifting cargo and other factors can all cause a truck to move into your lane unexpectedly. This can cause an accident that is not necessarily the truck driver's fault.

Truck drivers are specially trained to handle the large vehicles they drive and do their best to avoid accidents with regular vehicles. When a truck is in an accident with another vehicle though, it is usually the other driver's fault. Many of these accidents occur because drivers don't know how to properly share the road with a truck.

To that end, here are some tips to remember when dealing with truck traffic:

1. Never drive in front of a truck and slow down or apply the brakes abruptly. Trucks require a lot more stopping distance than cars and cannot make evasive lane changes as quickly either. When you apply your brakes, make sure there isn't a truck close behind you, as most truck drivers will choose to rear-end you rather than cause a worse accident by swerving into another lane.

2. Never pass a truck on the right hand side. It is illegal to do so in most places and for a good reason. The right sides of most trucks have a large blind spot that can easily obscure a full-sized car. Should a truck driver make a right hand turn or lane change, it won't be until your car is getting crushed that the driver will realize you are there. This sort of accident is easily preventable by only passing trucks on the left.

3. Always give a truck sufficient time and space to execute a turn. The larger the truck, the more time and space it needs to complete a turn. Most trucks make wide turns and trying to make the same turn before them can easily cause an accident.

4. Always make it as easy as possible for a truck to pass you. This means moving over into another lane if a truck is coming up behind you. It is easier and safer for a car to make a lane change than a truck. If you can't or don't wish to match the truck's speed, get out of its way!

Also, when a truck wishes to change into your lane, slow down slightly and flash your high-beams twice to let the truck driver know it is okay to make the lane change. This gesture is truly appreciated by professional truck drivers. They will almost always do the same for you.

5. Do not tailgate a truck! Drivers of regular cars that rear-end a large truck can easily die if their car goes under the truck's strong bumper. This type of accident is easily avoided by not tailgating.

6. Always remember to maintain your car's visibility when near a truck. Your car should always be visible in the mirrors of the truck or the risk of an accident increases dramatically. If you are not in the scope of the truck's mirrors, then the driver cannot see you.

7. Use your common sense. The larger vehicle always has the right of way! Do not try to battle a truck for position on any road or street. You and your car will always lose. Furthermore, no one likes it when another vehicle tries to bully its way past.



8. When stopped in traffic, always maintain a distance of a few feet from the rear bumper of a truck. Most trucks have manual shift transmissions and oftentimes roll backward slightly when their brakes are released to begin accelerating. A truck may roll back significantly when starting up a hill and if the front of your car is hit by a backwards-rolling truck, you only have yourself to blame.

9. Never park directly behind a truck. Most truck drivers usually check behind their trucks before backing up but some don't. If you do not leave a truck enough room to back up and exit its parking space, well, don't be surprised if the front of your car is damaged upon your return.

By keeping these simple driving tips in mind, not only will you reduce your risk of being involved in an accident with a truck but you'll also create a safer and more courteous driving environment for all road users.

Ken4Christ:
JW are not Christians for the following reasons
1. They do not believe that Christ was raised from the dead bodily. They said God could have melted the body of Jesus with chemicals. When you point to how he appeared to his disciples and asked doubting Thomas to touch him, they said that Jesus just materialized that moment. What a lie from the pit of hell.

2. They are not born again. You can not be a believer unless you are born again. Jesus said, you must be born again. John 3:1-7

3. They deny the deity of Christ. They say Jesus is not God. But the Bible teaches otherwise. You have only three class of being higher than the animal life. You are either a human being, angel or God. We all know Jesus is not human.

He only took up our human nature to redeem us.

We also know he is not an angel.

He is God because he is the Son of God.

His father is his God.

He is only suspect to his father. The father that you have a boss in your office doesn't make your boss more human. In the same sense, the fact that the God his father is the head of Jesus doesn't make him more God. They have the same nature in essence.

That is why Jesus said, anyone who has seen me has seen my father. He is the express image of God.

John 1:1 summarizes it - In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God.

3. They deny the existence of a place of torment called hell based on preconceived opinion not based on scriptures. They present it from a logical reasoning that a God of love cannot throw people into hell. If this is true, then Sodom and Gomorrah will have a legal right to protest the destruction of their lives and the two cities with fire. My readers, hell is real. Jesus spoke about it in his teachings with no trace of ambiguity. He used different terms to describe hell and the manner of suffering. He calls it, furnace of fire, everlasting fire, fire that cannot be quenched, where the worms do not die. He also said that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth night and day.

4. They will never preach Christ to you who is the very essence of Christianity.

5. They do not believe Jesus is coming back. Rather, they teach he has already returned spiritually.

6. They deny the deity and the person of the Holy Spirit calling him a wind of force.

7. They say only 144,000 will make heaven. This is a lie from the pit of hell.

8. They preach salvation is by work. The Bible says it is by grace - Ephesians 2:8 - 9.

9. They have made many false predictions of the earth and of the world. That makes them false prophets.
10. They claim to be the only mouth piece of God. That is a weird claim. God can not have just one month piece. He told Elijah that he has 7,000 prophets reserved.
I can go on and on. I admire their commitment but they are not Christians. They are agents of darkness. They are anti Christ. Only those who are perishing listens to them. Their messages appeals to the senses but they are not scriptural.
