brighter: Oga MTN, I discovered you render more apology than solution, infact your apology to solution rate is 100:2. Same applies when one calls your customer care. 99% of your customer care staff are so dump & clueless. Please advice MTN to train them on problem solving than their normal routine of 'sorry ma, we'll look into it'. It's so annoying, let them keep their 'sorry' to themselves & their employer & give customers needed solution

A typical Nigerian, would you prefer if they don't apologize. If they don't, I'm sure you will be here whining over that too.
If they are bad as you claim, why not port and save your nerves the stress.

shdemidemi: bro, why are you relating spiritual things to earthly ones

'look at rm5: says, "they that recieve the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, shall REIGN in life" we reign over sickness bro by actually NOT praying for but command healing'

How could you say this, how does gift of grace and righteousness give yo reign over sickness. Help me with where Christ could not heal because of unbelief. You adding to the word of god, its not nice to do that. If Peter had that same power, you would wonder why he didn't ask God to do something when he was about to die. You would wonder why Paul said this if he still had all the power you are talking about.

17 Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

Mark 6:5 Jesus could not work any miracles there, except to heal a few sick people by placing his hands on them.
Mark 6:6 He was surprised that the people did not have any faith. Jesus taught in all the neighboring villages.

It is true that many "preachers" have taught healing and miracles wrongly, some have totally commercialize it but that does not mean it has stopped.

Why will any man believe in taking medical treatment and get well but find it difficult to believe God for one. Who created the plants and source of the medicine?

The TRUE PROBLEM is the lack of understanding of the word of God. That is what makes the commercialization of healing and miracle thrive.

I believe in miracle, I believe in healing, I believe a Christian (pastor or member) can pray for the sick incuding himself and there will be healing. However, I do not think any "MOG" has more access to the power of God to heal than any other Spirit filled believer.
There is nothing wrong if a Christian goes to a 'pastor' to pray for him but the Christian should grow up to the point where that is no longer necessary.
Paul taught and encouraged believers to grow up. Galatians 5:1-4; Ephesians 4:11-14; Hebrew 5:12-14;

jackbauersballs: All the crap you posted was pre-christianity...that is just jewish history

Christ-ianity is a religion that is based on the life of Christ

I dare you to bring out preachings of christ advocating violence.

I'm not even a christan

Don't mind that fellow, he thinks he knows the bible.
You are so on point.

cronsberg: I challenge any Christian to come and tell me those verses which I posted here are not evil and not terrorism,
“But these enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me.” (Luke 19:27)


Hitler quickly picked up this Christian rhetoric.

Hitler addressed the world at the passion plays of Oberammergau in 1942 He said: “his blood be on us and our children....[Matthew 27:25], maybe I’m the one who must execute this curse..... I do no more than join what has been done for more than 1,500 years already. Maybe I render Christianity the best service ever! “ Hitler also said “And so I believe to-day that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In standing guard against the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord.”

I want you to know God is Alpha and Omega, and God words does not have expiry date, God of yestday is also God of today, God dont change


Deuteronomy
Chapter 2 :
33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain. ( So Moses and his army killed women and children. Moses broke the 6th commmandment, thou shall not kill ANYONE)

Deuteronomy
Chapter 7:
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 6

Deuteronomy
Chapter 13
9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God

Numbers
Chapter 31
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves ( almost all the Nigerian lady will be kill)

1Samuel 6:19-20
And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and' fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

1 Kings 20:35-36
Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of prophets to say to another man, "Strike me!" But the man refused to strike the prophet. Then the prophet told him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me." And sure enough, when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him.

What?!

Ezekiel 9:5-7
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."

Another massacare.

eremiah 51:20-26
"You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out," says the LORD.
Another massacre, same old story.

Exodus 21:20-21
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property

So you can beat the hell out of your slave as long as the slave does not die, this is straight from the Bible


You happy now? Apparentely christianity teaches voilence . You're welcome
-------------------------------

Let me educate you a bit. The verses you quoted are all Judaism! That's why they killed Jesus, because He came to preach peace, love and forgiveness as opposed to what they were used to that you quoted here. Study Matthew - Jude and you will understand what you post here had nothing to do with Christianity.

And for your information, Judaism has even evolved, they don't practice all those eye for an eye laws as was done in the old testament of the Bible any more. Islam just won't adapt to life, they MUST SUBDUE everybody to SERVE or DIE!

For CPC/ACN anti-GEJ supporters that keep saying its PDP way to frustrate "APC", you are only admitting defeat and declaring PDP are smarter and more thorough. There is no party in the world that does not try to counter and frustrate the work of opposition party! That is democracy! You guys should admit you were not smart enough! Dust yourself, get another name and move on if you are great like you say! Add to that, focus more on ideologies than just being cheap propagandists. You might have time to see things like this next time before they happen!

Paris_Love: The religion of peace seems quite unable to coexist with others everywhere they are. I hope the Pakistan govt, international community and the church does something to help these Christians they just rendered homeless.

You may need to modify your your image and add the islamic symbol to the others as well. Remeber Shiite and Shia rivalry?

This is EARSORE! Anyway, most markets in Lagos are like that, even some streets!

tonididdy: Heatwave gini?...not here in benincity.its just a normal weather like everyother year.its always being sunny and hot;you and your scientists are just seeing and assuming things...

Choi!!! I miss Benin seriously. Lagos is hot like h*ll! I sometimes wonder how an Island will be this hot.

oyunoyun: another record
Messi Equaled Alfredo di Stefano's Clasico scoring record with his 18th goal against Real Madrid

ddippset: i think you are the one consoling yourself here. ok maybe when they are writing the records they will write;
TOP CLASSICO SCORERS:

1.Lionel Messi
2.Alfred di stefano
then
(but cristiano ronaldo only played 7 matches o, everybody!)
maybe this is how they will write it in the books.
console yourself.

Why are Barcelona fans always looking for records to give to Messi?
Tell me, who holds the highest goal record for Milan derby, Liverpool vs ManU, Corinthians vs Santos, Arsenal vs Chelsea, Bayern vs Dotmund, PSG vs Lyon, Ajax vs Fen, Besiktas vs Galatasaray, Celtic vs Rangers, Eyimba vs Rangers, Tunis vs Esperance, Brazil vs Argentina?

You probably don't know cause it doesn't matter, its not a record!!

STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF, HIGHEST GOALS RECORD IN A CLASSICO IS NOT A RECORD!

For the Christians here, be reminded that the devil is not asleep, these are the last days and he would do anything to trap many souls.
Anyway, I am not surprised as the devil has many parents, teachers, medical practitioners etc, that can help get these kids possessed early.
If John the Baptist can be filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb, I don't think it is impossible for demons to take over the lives of children when their parents allow or are demon possessed as well.

At least I can remember young possessed and demonic kids in my primary school days.

Goshen360: Why are you asking me to tell people the spiritual implication of that verse? Aren't you the one who said carrying cutlass by those people is symbolic? You are the one we've waiting for to tell us how it is symbolic abi that one na 'sword of the Spirit' ni? The only sword I know is the word of God.

I really like your passion. I am presently studying again, most teachings/doctrines that we were taught back in Sunday School and in some of the Mega Churches(dont want to mention names) today. The truth is that we have been mislead -The church- for so many years. Doctrines like tithing, firstfruits, sowing/connecting to an anointing/grace, the seperiority of a minsiter, prosperity message (which is actually greed and discontentment), love for the world etc and some others like witch killing, hate for your neighbour (in the name of spiritual warfare), are wrong/false/satanic doctrines!

I have gone back to study simple doctrines like Faith, believing, prayer, the Holy Spirit, righteousness, morality, giving and helps, fruits of the spirit etc. Some I realised we have been taught wrongly.

Do you have a personal blog?

....yeah, they keep looking for attention.... isn't it a complex?

1Co 2:7 We speak of God's hidden and mysterious wisdom that God decided to use for our glory long before the world began.
1Co 2:8 The rulers of this world didn't know anything about this wisdom. If they had known about it, they would not have nailed the glorious Lord to a cross.
1Co 2:9 But it is just as the Scriptures say, "What God has planned for people who love him is more than eyes have seen or ears have heard. It has never even entered our minds!"
1Co 2:10 God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God.
1Co 2:11 You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind.
1Co 2:12 But God has given us his Spirit. That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us.
1Co 2:13 Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people.
1Co 2:14 That's why only someone who has God's Spirit can understand spiritual blessings. Anyone who doesn't have God's Spirit thinks these blessings are foolish.

2Co 4:3 If there is anything hidden about our message, it is hidden only to someone who is lost.
2Co 4:4 The god who rules this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers. They cannot see the light, which is the good news about our glorious Christ, who shows what God is like.
2Co 4:5 We are not preaching about ourselves. Our message is that Jesus Christ is Lord. He also sent us to be your servants.
2Co 4:6 The Scriptures say, "God commanded light to shine in the dark." Now God is shining in our hearts to let you know that his glory is seen in Jesus Christ.
2Co 4:7 We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us.

It's just amazing that no matter how hard atheists, unbelievers and pagans try, they just seem to fulfill the scriptures.

I encourage Believers to hold unto that which you have received, never let it slip away, the devil is out to blind many. This is a call to dig deeper into the Word of God from the bible and have a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit.
If you were an unbeliever and now saved, you probably know where these unbelievers are talking from. It shouldn't surprise you, these are the last days. Pray more for unbelievers, show them love the more, make deliberate effort to become a better Christian, that's the guarantee you will never fall!

1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1Co 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

musKeeto: Context, context, context, so life isn't in the blood? You referred to humans, don't start shifting posts...

Yes context. And how can an atheist talk about human without '"an organism" that evolved into man. That organism according to your evolution theory didn't have blood, right?

musKeeto: Have you slit your wrists...?

Leviticus 17:14 because the life of every creature is its blood....

Let me help you with this, read the whole chapter and get it into context; there was a reason God said those words, for the symbolic representation of the blood in sacrifice. If you think the way you quoted then you shouldn't eat meat at all! And have you forgotten not ALL LIVING creature have blood? You seem to miss that part.

musKeeto: Who needs science for that? Slit your wrists, and you'll know exactly where life is.. nonsense..

Is this your answer? Like, seriously?!

mkmyers45: FIRST: LIE
SCOND: LIE
THIRD: What is life?

I was raised a Christian, got saved though, 13years back, have been a diligent student of the bible since then and a preacher/evangelist since then. Point 1 and 2 are true and i can show you from the word of God. Anyway, I knew some Christians didn't even know not mentioning Atheists.

musKeeto: On the same thread, both Christians.. lol.. smh...

As a Christian (and pastor if you will) I agree the biggest challenge we have is Christians who don't know the bible!
However, our knowledge or ignorance does not validate or invalidate the words of Jehovah and His Son, Jesus Christ in the bible. It only shows man's imperfection and the tendency to cause problems- which is the reason Jesus Christ came and died.

As a Christian evangelist, the following may come as surprise to both Christians and Atheists here:

1. The account of creation in genesis was not the creation of the universe.
2. The bible shows evidence of pre Adam living creatures (Dinosaurs and man).
3. Your big b.ang theory is in the bible and clearly explained.
4. The bible is not against science.

Question for Atheists:

1. Has science, medicine and logic been able to identify life and where it is in the human body?

noble-chriss:
Seeing some of the comments here make me weep for Nigeria ŧ a nation.we seem to have more fools in this country than the sane ones.Hϕw̶̲̥̅ can u sack a coach before a game's played,pay for his return ticket Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ expect him to keep quiet Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ smile at u? He's not a fool Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ has an independent mind of his own,he's human too Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ got feelings too.Keshi's on the right path Α̲̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥d̶̲̥̅̊ has the support of the Nigerian people,its time we rid ourselves of this internal enemies called NFF that'll never allow footbal stay away from politics.the time's right,its not about the money.we are solidly begind the big boss on this one!!!

bros please remove all that auto text calamity from your BB. Its making your post too Bance!

Doctors also diagnosed him with having multiple personalities.

That says it all. The man is POSSESSED, forget all those medical terminologies.

gerald09: Wow! This are d kind of people that are ruling gutless, clueless humans. APC y allow ur party to be smeared by this kind of people, I tot ur ideology you people have is the betterment of Nigeria, bring in the same people that don't want that has defeated the whole merger plan. There not joining because the shear d same ideology with you people, they joining to stand on top of the fence. (And they call themselves MEN) it shows that you people are not trying to save Nigeria u are jt changing the name PDP to APC. Let me school you a little.
A 2 or 3 party system is where 2 or 3 parties have different view and ideology on how to run a govt example
In the US they have Democrats, Republicans (donno if they got another I am nt american) but this 2 parties have different ideologies and they stand by it with everything they have
In the UK the have the Labour, conservatives, BNP (donno if the have another I am not british) same here the all have there ideologies even the BNP that believe in white British stand by there ideology.
APC and PDP stand for the something gathering wealth for themselves so I ask again what was the reason for the creation?

You are correct. I have said this since 2009, we have no opposition. They don't have ideology, they are not different from PDP they condemn.

jemmies: It is the system and strong institution that mold people
if PDP Govs moves to APC i can asure that thier approach to leadership will change
if Amosu had been a Gov under PDP he would have done whose than Daniel

Please stop deceiving yourself, Akpabio, the late Yaradua, Goje, Saraki and Duke are/were PDP governors that did well.

What has Amosu done? Ogun is not far from where it has been. As far as I know, (excluding Fashola) Oshiomole is the only ACN governor I can say is working. It has nothing to do with being in ACN, he would have done same if he came under LP or even PDP.

Omo_Tier1: Shut it there.. You are a member of PDP. And FYI, we have always acknowledged on NL the good work Ameachi , Akpabio are doing in their respective states. Are there not PDP governors?
If anything, Nigeria need men who have visions and are people of character who want to build a name for themselves through focused leadership that will bring the best out of Nigeria and Nigerians not a drunken fisherman who's only talent is looting

Member of PDP? Hehehehehe! I can't remember the last time I voted for anyone.

Show me your posts where you commended any PDP governor before I can believe you did. I don't think any ACN goon will until now.

@Gbawe and Omo Tier, you guys are just too pathetic with your kind of blind followership. I am neither for PDP nor ACN, I am not rooting for GEJ but your bias is just too childish and pathetic. As a neutral, how do you think your comments are helping APC? The painful thing to me is that we are yet to understand the true problem of Nigeria which is 'WE' - Nigerians. CPC/ACN/PDP/ACP or whatever are all the same people with like minds. They are using you guys to pursue their course, which is seat of power and right to looting.
I feel sorry for this nation. God knows!

Omo_Tier1: Do you really think APC will welcome confirmed looters like Dickson or Uduaghn into her fold? They know the PDP governors they're referring to, and these are those that will be of good political fortune to them building a better political base in the region ahead of 2015.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ACN/CPC supporters with their deception and delusion! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You have already started the "DEFENCE MECHANISM!" Its in you instinctively, isn't it? I thought you all said PDP (the entire membership) with all their governors are theives and the problem of Nigeria, you are already beginining to eat your words. Now I know for sure who are paid laptop crew!
And before you start pewking, I DON'T BELIEVE IN PDP!

See my post sometime back in another thread:

I am a neutral person. I don't think GEJ or PDP is doing well at all, but I feel ACN/CPC are not different. They are worse if anything.

I laugh when I see people come here and call people who support GEJ/PDP 40 laptop squad etc.

Actually, from a neutral ground (as i have observed for over a year), its the CPC/ACN supporters here on nairaland that are the most gullible folks. They sound more unreasonable to me. More like what they tag people, laptop squad!


They seem not to believe or agree with anything pro-GEJ even when its good, but agree with anything anti-GEJ, true or false, good or bad. They have a 'skewed' explanation for anything ACN/CPC/Fashola/Buhari/ElRufai, good or bad!

It is because of these same folks Nigeria will remain under the rule of PDP for a long time! And I'm sad about it!

Take down pro ACN/CPC usernames and check their comments with pro-ACN policies/comments even when its obviously bad, and check their comments with on pro-PDP/GEJ policies/comment even when its obviously good.

Sincere 9gerian: And when those PDP governors or legislators cross over to the APC their sins will be forgiven and they become progressives/performers automatically.
Hypocrites!

My brother, the thing tire me. But this is what I have said for many years now, the opposition are just sour loosers, desperate for power, worse than the PDP they crucify. Lets just hope it is speculation, though from what I know, it might be true.

I thought they said PDP is a party for rog'ues and theives?! Is it the name of the party that is the roug'ue and theive or the people in the party?

If this is true, then I am vindicated when I said CPC and ACN are all about power desperation. Where are the CPC/ACN supporters, you guys should answer my questions and explain to me what I don't know.

Tolexander: one wouldn't blame them if one was following the 1996 problem the children had with the meningitis immunity drug(trovan) produced by the PFIZER DRUG COMPANY in USA, which was tested in Kano during the outbreak of meningitis. The drug caused death and various disease on the children.
http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/28/6/1860.2.full
All the same the action taken i.e killing by the people in Kano is very barbaric.

All they needed to do was REFUSE to bring their childeren out for immunization, isn't it?
