This is why I always say that the Christian religion and the Bible is filled with confusion

How can some Christian groups believe that homosexuality is a sin while others believe that it is not and both groups use the Bible to back up their points?

I support the OP eventhough I'm not a Christian

Christians, cut off the sin of lieing, fornication, adultery, hatred, bearing false witness, malice, etc.

Stop going to work late and lieing that you came early by signing the wrong time.

Stop cheating your boss by leaving your workplace to attend church programmes during working hours.

Stop encouraging examination malpractice as a teacher or engaging in examination malpractice as a student

If you borrow money from people with a promise to return, do your best to return the borrowed money on the due date as promised. If for any reason you can't return, explain to the owner and don't pay tithes nor sow seeds until you have settled that debt

Stop using foul words to abuse people who don't share the same opinions, beliefs and thoughts like you

Stop abusing President Buhari. He is not your age mate. If you want to criticize his government, do it constructively and politely. Respect for elders also apply to politicians

Stop trying to cut corners to become rich quickly

Stop cheating your customers by lieing that you bought a product at a higher price so that you will make more profit than you ought to make

Let people be able to trust you in business transactions. If you buy goods on credit with a promise to repay later, don't wait for the owner of the business to swear for you before you pay back.

Pay your tax

Obey the government

Don't dump refuse by the roadside or in gutters

Stop doing eye service for your pastors to see you as a Christian but your life is the complete opposite when you leave the church

...the list is endless

I'm very sure that if Christians practice and do the right things, the ripple effect will be felt in Nigeria and this country will be better than this

Even if there was anything like rapture and heaven, I doubt if many Nigerian Christians will go.

We can't be corrupt like this and still expect to make heaven.

If God considers Nigerian Christians qualified for heaven in the first list, then unbelievers will also make the second list.

Christianity and confusion.

Why won't there be different Bible translations when a group of people can just wake up, interpret and write the Bible claiming to receive an inspiration from God?

frosbel2:
I often wonder if most Christians have heard directly from the mouth of Jesus. Not through a pastor or church member or parent , but directly from Jesus.

Similarly , I also wonder how many Christians have seen Jesus himself.

As a Christian for over 20 years, I never saw Jesus or heard from him directly, it was always through the bible, sometimes a bible verse that ‘jumped out’ , a pastors message, or a perceived internal voice.

Who is this Jesus that hides from the majority of his church members ? What is he hiding and why is he hiding.

When I used to pray to Jesus over many years, sometimes as long as 3 hours , he never revealed himself to me or spoke with me , I just believed by faith that he heard me.

Many times I fell sick and prayed , but he never healed me despite the quoting of dozens of bible verses to remind Jesus of his promises. He never kept his promises. I saw many brethren go through suffering and despite many prayers , few got a breakthrough.

Why is this Jesus hiding and playing games with human beings ?

OP, I completely agree with you.

Until Christians are able to prove me wrong, hearing from Jesus is all in the mind.

They condition their minds to believe that it is Jesus speaking to them (especially if it the right thing).

They have no prove whatsoever to back up their claims.

Someone will be sick and then go to the hospital to receive treatment and drugs only to go to church and testify that Jesus healed him. The drugs and treatment you received in the hospital was for what? Was it not healing?

They should keep deceiving themselves.

OP, they are not stupid for choosing to be Christians. Religion is all about beliefs and they believe that they are following the right beliefs.


Right to Freedom of Religious Beliefs is one of the Fundamental Human Rights

My only problem with them is their failure to practice what their religious manuals expects of them. That's where I see them as hypocrites, preaching one thing and doing the opposite.

Corruption should never be mentioned amongst Christians but the reverse is the case in Nigeria

As Christians, let the word of God guide your thoughts and actions.

If your lifestyle is contrary to the word of God, then you're not showing a good example to unbelievers

OP, what should we do now?

Abi is it a sin for a pastor and his children to dance to Burns Boy's song?

My question to the OP is:

Are these homosexuals and mastubators claiming to be Christians?

If Yes, then they deserve judgement from the Christian God

If No, then I don't understand why a God whom they don't believe in will punish them for living their lives.

Provided they are not breaking the law of their countries, all homosexuals and mastubators (who are not Christians) deserve to live their lives the way that makes them happy

Many people claiming to be Christians do terrible things in the secret

I always admonish Christians to be Christ-like.

Today you can't differentiate a Christian from an unbeliever because they lie, cheat, owe, live in fornication and adultery, hate, etc.

All the atrocities commuted by unbelievers are also committed by so called Christians

How do we expect corruption to stop in this country?

I can't wait for this rapture.

At least the Christians will leave for their own heaven and we'll have only the Muslims to cope with

The little resources in this country will go round the remaining people

Abeg, Christians just pray for this rapture to happen fast

From frying pan to fire

Both religions have hatred for unbelievers

BlueAngel444:
a better society is determined by those in leadership and strategic places of discussing making. When Jesus was alive on earth, society was has horrible as it was before and after him. The leaders were as selfish and foolish to their greed and wickedness as they deem fit, why then should anyone think that a follower of Jesus would influence the state of a society if God doesn't deem it so by touching or changing it's leaders.

a society that basically worships money has it's own god and followers, do you think such a society can be influenced by the kind or sacrificial.

the purpose of knowing the truth is to be set free, for a soul to be saved.

You said "why then should anyone think that a follower of Jesus would influence the state of a society if God doesn't deem it so by touching or changing it's leaders". Are you saying we should blame God for the current situation in Nigeria since He has refused to change the hearts of the leaders?

Janosky:


Rev3:5,12 did Jesus Christ tell you he is God in heaven, spiritual realm?
John 20:17, did Jesus Christ tell you he is God in earth?

Do you agree the spiritual realm is stronger than the physical realm?

If you won't accept what Jesus Christ says about himself , do you know Jesus more than he knows himself?

John 20:30:31. John 3:16-18, accurate belief about Jesus Christ is necessary for your salvation.
No be joke.

Oga, I don't care whether Jesus is God or son of God. I was not there to confirm. All I'm concerned about is that Christians should emulate the lifestyle of their Saviour and Master so that we can have a better society.

I was on strong antibiotics drugs, at my early stage, not knowing I was already pregnant. But to God be the glory, LO and mama is fine. We are hitting second trimester next week.
So have faith that nothing will go wrong medically and visit your doctor. God bless

Thanks for the assurance

sweetlady4real:
@ggirl4real Congratulations on your bfp. You are not likely to have micscarriage because of the drugs and injections. As Mama Katchycouture pointed out, you will most likely be given anti malaria drugs even in pregnancy. So, put your mind at rest. I wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Thanks Ma'am

katchycouture:


Congrats mama and may the lord make your Joy permanent.
Calm down and relax, maleria and typhoid medications don't cause miscarriage like that, even in pregnancy we still treat maleria and typhoid with drugs and sometimes injections. Be at peace and enjoy being pregnant

Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate.

Hello Everyone

I'm new to this group. Please I need help.

I became very sick on day 21 of my last cycle (which started on 6th August, 2020). I didn't want to take any medication since I've been actively trying to conceive but the sickness was too serious and unbearable.

To manage the severe fever and body aches that followed, I had to start taking paracetamol. It helped for some days but I was still very sick so I had to give in and went to Primary Health Centre on day 27 of the cycle. I told the nurses there about my reason for delaying treatment. They took my blood sample for pregnancy test, alongside other tests. The pregnancy test result came out NEGATIVE.

Other test results indicated that I had very severe Malaria/Typhoid so I was given injections before leaving the Health Centre alongside other drugs for Malaria and Typhoid which I started taking the next day. I became fine after I completed my medications.

I have irregular cycles but it has never gone beyond 38days. When my period delayed to come even till day 41 (yesterday), so I decided to conduct Home Pregnancy Test and the result was POSITIVE. I decided to proceed to the Lab for blood test which also came out POSITIVE.

My extreme worry now is the Malaria and Typhoid injections and drugs I took from day 27. I'm I likely to have miscarriage later because of this? If the drugs can affect the pregnancy, what can I do remedy the effect and avoid possible miscarriage? Please I need help because I've been trying to conceive for 3 years now and this is my first positive result.

E concern una

We go hear the end of this matter

Una don start abi

All I can see is manifestation of pride

Una don chop belleful so make una fight

Una don chop belleful so make una quarrel

Hmmmm


This is getting more interesting

Alright

This is beautiful

No matter how inconvenient, always try to do the right thing

All I can say is that couples should learn to give birth to the number of children they can cater for

Things are hard

If it's only one child you can cater for comfortably, that is enough

The era of breeding plenty children with the belief that "It is God that grooms children" is over

There's no free money anyway and no one owes you one kobo

If you can't afford to take care of a child, keep you reproductive organ in check until you are capable.
