GOD is not a superman, He is God.

So your God is not even a badass? Thor is both a God and a superhero.
Tell your God to step his game up!

Oga, Pray for the understanding and the knowledge of the WORD

That's all I have to say..
Have a nice day

You are mistaken, knowledge is acquired. God will not going to come down to give you knowledge. Better go and pick up your textbooks and learn about the whole around you. Travel and go speak to people who don't share the same views as you, challenge your own beliefs and learn new school of thoughts.

tot:
People are entitled to their views even if you consider it nonsense propaganda. Let's stop being rude in conveying our points.

Where was the rudeness? i merely pointed out that forgiveness should be for yourself and not because a deity asks you to do it. Where was i being rude?
Y'all will refuse to listen to the key point and just focus on how it makes you feel. nawa oooo

COURTING!!! Not dating!!! Why are you people so hardened-hearted like this?!

There are no difference between the two ogbeni.

Forgiveness is the bridge to your future. It's impossible to live in this world and not have the opportunity to be offended. After offence what will your response be?
If you don't forgive it shows you have not benefited from God's forgiveness.

Ogbeni stop spreading nonsense propaganda. Forgiveness is for YOU and YOU only. Your peace of mind is the most important thing which is why you need to practice forgiveness, not because a divine being told you to.
If someone wrongs you, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, you should forgive because you only have two options.

1. Harbor those feelings and let it rot you inside.

Choosing option 1. will have a long term effect on your physical and mental health. This will do more damage to you than the person who wronged you because they will continue to live their life whether you forgive them or not.

2. Accept that the situation has happened and there is no going back to change the past.

Choosing option 2. will teach you to leave the past in the past, the only thing you can do is learn, forgive and move on. By choosing to learn you can avoid such a situation next time. By forgiving and moving on, you save yourself the hassle of holding grudges that will turn you ugly over time.

I am a staunch introvert, the kind that stays at home all day I really hate small talks and I can't talk to people for more than 5minutes.

When I call a lady hardly can we talk for a minute. Infact I hate calling. Now I had this experience when I visited my aunty and an ex of mine happen to stay in the same compound.

I noticed her boo calls her for like 2hours and she's always laughing with him. This was when I started realising my mistake when I was with her I hardly call and communicate and this has been happening with most of the ladies I meet and things are not working out.

Is there anyone with similar experience?

Guy don't even stress, at the end of the day, you want a woman who loves you for who you are. Not one that loves you for the things your prepared to do for her. Being an introvert doesn't mean you cannot make friends, it just means you need to build a relationship with people first before you come out of your shell. Try not giving a Bleep once in a while, say the outlandish things, think out loud, play the devil's advocate in discussions, let people think your weird. Weird is the norm since normal doesn't exist!!
As for calls and communicating, its a two-way street. Your mother didn't give birth to you to be a court jester or an entertainer for women. If you find a girl that puts in just as much effort as you do then it reliefs the pressure on you. Just be yourself and the right one will gravitate towards you eventually.

This is EXTREMELY stupid. This is how people will now get into a marriage without ever having experience of dealing with the opposite gender. There are all sorts of reasons why we date, educate yourself on them first before spewing out nonsense. We are social creatures, it's what we do.

1. Dating can be fun!
2. Dating is a big part in the socialization process.
3. Dating helps with personality development.
4. Dating allows people to try out gender roles.
5. Dating involves learning about intimacy and serves as an opportunity to establish a unique, meaningful relationship with a person of the opposite sex.
6. Dating can provide companionship through interaction and shared activities with the opposite sex.
7. Dating helps you find the right mate.
8. Dating can help prepare for marriage.

OP
we only need one way to please God and this is LOVE

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

That's a lie if you don't know there are 613 commandments in the bible. Your expected to do all of them to please YAWYEH.

Where in the bible is written that we shouldn't eat pork and crayfish?

Leviticus 11:7-8 ESV
And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.

Leviticus 11:9, 12
These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat…. Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you.

Or have you not read your bible?

And a man isn't created to pay a woman's bills

Where you go find babe that you wouldn't have to spend time or money on? everything is a transaction jare. If your goal is to have sex or have children you will have to sacrifice time and money.

you shouldn't just be paying for just any woman's bills, if she is worth it and she needs help with her situation she will rely on you because your her co-partner.

Every original has a counterfeit, but in the end, there is only one original.

FYI Christianity is not a religion. The name Christianity was something that started during the days of the first church. Christianity is a relationship with God.

All other religions are fabrications of the devil. Even in Christianity he has been able to gain influence and produce all sorts of corrupt practices.

If you want people to question something's authenticity, all you have to do is create many counterfeit ones with similar characteristics to the original, and people will suddenly be confused as to which is true.

You believe diseases are natural, but I can tell you that they are not. All evil proceeds from one source, the devil. The very fact that you believe they are natural is because he has blinded you to the truth. Just because something can be explained naturally doesn't means its not from a spiritual source.

FYI God protects everyone, even those that don't ask for it. You woke up this morning because God preserved you. All day every day 24/7 365 days every year the devil and his angels are constantly working to cut your life short, but God protects you.

Christianity is the only belief system in this world that offers salvation from a loving God who lovingly allowed His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for the world's sins. This God is seeking to be known and desires to walk with everyone of us.

All religion offers is a way to appease an angry god who is pissed at you and so far away and so elusive, that you spend your whole life seeking him and finding nothing.

All these so-called gods in all the religions of the world are the devil and his demons.

You don't seem to understand anything, you cannot make claims about entities without evidence.

1. Your seriously indoctrinated and you have no idea. Christianity is not even in the top 10 oldest religions in the world. Christianity cannot possibly be the right religion because it's an addition to Judaism. Christianity is a counterfeit from Judaism, which is also a counterfeit of several older religion myths. Original ko, original ni.
2. Provide evidence of this spiritual nonsense you seem to know so much about? otherwise your a babbling mad man.
3. I don't BELIEVE diseases are natural, they ARE natural. It's a fact. Our cells are prone to cancer because we're exposed to a cancerous environment. An example is skin cancer which is from large exposure to the sun, this is why we Africans are dark-skinned with a lot of melanin that protects our skin. This has nothing to do with God, research the origin of life on earth and early human migration. You'll notice the further people migrated away from Africa the fairer their skin became because they had to adapt to a different environment so they didn't need as much melanin anymore.
4. The God of the Bible is NOT a loving God if you have honestly read your bible cover to cover you'll know this because of all the horrible acts he committed like the flooding, Gambling on Job's life and killing his family.
5. Your God clearly doesn't want to be bothered if the world is full of different religions.
6. Like I've already said there are religions much older than Christianity but you think they are wrong because yours is right? Check your bias.
7. You're a Christian because you're born into it, if you're from India chances are you would be Hindu. As long as you hold your bias close to your chest then you're being ignorant.

Remove your bias and ignorance, soon you'll find out you dismiss other people's religion for the same reason they dismiss yours. Your an atheist when it comes to the other 1000s of Gods that have ever existed.

Man this place is a mess as if some of you are defending a pastor having "Protocol" (Call a spade a spade- bodyguards).
Will it be until a needle pokes you in the eye before you know its a needle?
Will it be until a thief removes all your furniture before you know he's a thief?
No wonder these pastors have the audacity to be so bold, they have brainless people to defend them. They haven't finished with you people yet. Whilst they are accumulating church funds and buying land with the donation monies, you do not realize they are ruining the future of Nigeria. Whilst they are telling you to wait for God's blessing they are creating their own blessings (wealth) through YOU the people. Their children attend the best schools in the world because they want the best for their children and not Nigeria. Even if they donate money for a good cause you people will be jubilation, not knowing they are only donating the money they accumulated through the people.

WAKE UP PEOPLE
THE GENERATIONAL CURSE ARE YOUR PASTORS.

They are the devils that don't want people to succeed and be self-sufficient because it means fewer donations for them. When they preach on the generational curses haunting us they are speaking about themselves. The same sermons are being preached from the same book from the same people. Have you not all got the message yet? Can you not read your bible yourself and understand it?
Nigerian pastors are what's holding back our nation. Ignorance is what they preach, Education is what we need.
It's not a coincidence that the most religious countries are the most impoverished.
Stop paying money to stupid "men of God", if you want to do good then go out and do good for people who need it.
The Pastors of the nation are old fools who know nothing but to demand unearned respect.

Hismasterpiece:
At least you got one thing right. Yes we are all spirits, have souls and live in bodies.

But you're wrong to think that when the spirit leaves the body it continues evolution in other worlds.

When the spirit leaves the body it is either headed to one of the two places, heaven or hell, depending on whether or not that person believed in Jesus the Messiah.

Again you speak with a lot of conviction for something you have never experienced.

Did Jesus tell you this himself or did he email you?

Believing what your reading from the bible is naive. It's like believing spiderman is real because its set in new york and it mentions the Washington post.

Hismasterpiece:
The reason for this is the fall of man. When Adam sinned against God, he yielded his God-given authority to Satan, who then became the god of this world.

All through the world his attributes are clearly seen: immorality, wickedness, evil, etc. Why do you think bad things are more popular than good things? Why do you thing someone will rather kill someone to make money than work for it?

According to God's Word, there is an evil spirit at work in all unbelievers. And that makes sense, because when man fell he lost his godly nature and assumed the devil's nature.

God made us to live forever in this world and in heaven, but ever since man's fall, man's life span has been reducing consistently, from about 930 years to currently 70 - 90 years.

Everything around us is trying to kill us because the god of this world (Satan) has made it so. All these diseases and bad stuff are a part of his influence over this world.

Unless you have evidence to demonstrate the following then your talking nonsense. You speak with such a conviction for something you have never experienced.
You do know religions existed 1000s of years before yours?
You do know different religions have different heavens and hells?
You do know they also have heroes and villains?
You do know there's no documentation of humans ever living up to 930 years except in your storybook?
In fact human life span is longer in modern times but 1000s of years ago it was 20-30 years because of decreased safety and lack of developed medicine.

don't be so selfish to think an imaginary creature is trying to kill us all. People die for all sorts of reasons, diseases is natural, disasters are natural, accidents are natural. If you put yourself in situations that decrease your safety then your more likely to get harmed, its simple probabilities.

When you drive a car on the road your putting your trust into strangers to have the same understanding of the road laws as you do. If you drive frequently then your probability of having an accident goes up compared to someone who doesn't drive but prefers to walks. Praying to a God to protect you from a car crash is not going to protect you from a car crash. You're better of increasing your SAFETY by taking precautions.

Atheists would tell you some magical force was responsible for their own creation. Ask them for proof of this magical force, and see how ridiculous they get by posting stupid links upandan. SMH

These things aren't magical force, they are an observational phenomenon that we can be either demonstrated or explain and verify mathematically. Science is not an easy thing to understand but its essentially an archive of things we have found out about our observable universe. The same forces which are responsible for how our galaxy operates are the same one which we use to calculate the trajectory and escape velocity for space shuttles and satellites. These forces are what send men to space and back.

We can all verify gravity exists now by conducting independent experiments, is it still a magical force? No because we understand it. The universe is just like that on a bigger scale. Even the big bang theory only describes how we got the observable universe, we're still yet to figure out what happened before.
I find it very silly how we can so naive as humans. We have never lived a life before and we're so self-centered we automatically conclude all of this must have been made for us?
EVERYTHING AROUND US IS TRYING TO KILL US, WE JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE SUCH A SHORT LIFESPAN SO IT DOESNT EVEN MATTER TO THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A BLINK OF AN EYE TO THE UNIVERSE.

Hismasterpiece:
Bro, God is an everlasting being. He never had a beginning and will never have an end. He is the I Am. The truth is, God's history is a mystery that will be revealed to all believers when we are taken up to heaven.

Nobody is smart enough to figure out where God came from and nobody is so smart that they can't see that everything in existence was created by a Creator.

LOOL seriously? please don't insult your own intelligence. You sound like your insane.
1. These are all concepts that have been taught to us over time hence why most people see no other choice but to believe.
2. The people around you reinforce your beliefs making you feel more certain.
3. Your arguing from ignorance when you give God characters such as "everlasting, no beginning and no ending", do you have any evidence of such existing? Have we ever observed such a thing?. The only thing which fits these criteria is the universe and we simply have no current explanation of the origin.
4. Labelling things you cannot exist as God's "Mystery" is playing Gods of the gaps.
5. If nobody is smart enough to figure God out then why bother? He clearly doesn't care or want to be bothered.



I'll address your designer argument separately because it's lazy and suggests you haven't even looked at the rebuttal for your own argument.

-We recognise things by design so unless you've ever observed a universe being created by an agent you CANNNOT insert an agent.
-There are plenty of features in the living world that are anything but "perfect", we get diseases, our eyesights get worse over time, we have fragile bones and we need a lot of rest for these heavy brains we carry around. We are not the fastest, biggest, smartest in nature but we work better as a larger group. This is why we're on top of the food chain.
-By fitting God into the gaps on things we don't understand, your playing the God of the gaps. This will keep you ignorant till you die because we will never know it all, there is too much to know!
-If you insist on an agent creating the universe then by the SAME logic we have to question who created this agent and so on. That's an infinite regress and its useless.

I would advise you to seriously look up the rebuttal to your own argument, it will save you a lot of time.
