3 Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 4They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”
5They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. 6 Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. 7And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
8But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. 9The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. 10But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief.

I get you.

You can still achieve that by introducing the scripture you want to quote with few words of your own, then allow the particular verse(s) to do the rest.. Its more effective that way.

Imagine when the point you want to make is found in verse 21 but you paste the whole chapter. Now a person will start reading from verse 1 in a forum like NL... I can assure you that before he reach verse 4 him go just scroll pass say this guy no serious. Meanwhile the message is in verse 21.

I understand your point very well.

I try not to put any of my word or my thought in any of the post so that it doesn't look like I am making an argument. I just post them so that the reader can read it and not see my thoughts, but have his own thoughts from the message the verses will reveal.

Trust me, I don't even like that I am having to post all that because I understand very well our nature as humans (including me). A post will always seem very long to read if it is does not have to do with something that we like or something that we are interested in knowing more about.

For instance, I did not read most of the articles about coronavirus that were posted here, because 1001% sure that I will never get the virus, so there is no need for me to read on the prevention and cure (although I may share to friends and family that their faith is not as strong). This is same for some of the political debates, especially American.
In the same way, I will read almost every article that has to do with Eden Hazard, because of the likeness I have for him and his football, and I know that there will be many people like me who will also only read what they love or have interest in.

All the same, thank you for the advice.
Maybe, what I will be doing then is to quote the particular quote that passes the strongest message and then provide link for those that will like to read more.

@greatihex

Please see if you can cut short your comments sometimes.

Copying and pasting such long quotes most times leaves your comment meaningless. I see that it's the Bible you quote like this. Why not target the particular verse(s) you want to make your point from and post instead of posting an entire chapter or multiple chapters at once?

Making your post short, simple and straight forward will help convince your readers more.

Just a friendly advice sha.... Thank you.

I understand you totally. But there is a reason for that.

It is always good to understand the context of some scriptures and where they are coming from so that you can properly get the message it is trying to pass.

It is the improper quoting of scriptures and twisting of the words that a lot of "men of God" have used to be able to deceive their members and also justify many of the satanic doctrines that they teach.

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears . 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Concerning the prophets:
My heart is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.
10 The land is full of adulterers;
because of the curse[b] the land lies parched
and the pastures in the wilderness are withered.
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;
even in my temple I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal
and led my people Israel astray.
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:
They commit adultery and live a lie.
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.
They are all like Sodom to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds,
not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They keep saying to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’
And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,
they would have proclaimed my words to my people
and would have turned them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.
23 “Am I only a God nearby,”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”
declares the Lord.
25 “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their ancestors forgot my name through Baal worship. 28 Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
30 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’ 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ I will punish them and their household. 35 This is what each of you keeps saying to your friends and other Israelites: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”

In yorubaland, some see the death of a below 70yrs old, as 'untimely'. Hence, it's lowkey ceremony. Maybe that's what he meant.

Yekini is in the conversation for 2nd or 3rd 11

Kanu is not in the conversation for the 11th 11. Not where Patrick Mboma, Bwalya, Hossam Hassan, Titi Camara and Drogba etc are yet to be accounted for.

Drogba is well behind Yekini in AFCON pecking order. This is someone who couldn't win AFCON with a stacked Ivory Coast team and even missed a penalty to deny his team the win. Soon as he retired, they then won.

It annoys me to see this kind of thing when you guys analyse a player's career.

So it was Drogba holding them back from winning all those years he played for them?

The only thing I care about is that they won 3 champions league titles in a row and 4 in 5 years . Some clubs for example Chelsea don't have up to 2 in their entire history.

You can say the bolded and no one will argue with you.

A team that could only win 1 league title in the 4 years of winning the ucl. That tells how strong they were as a team. Very individualistic.
The league is what you can use to know how strong and consistent a team is, not the 13 matches ucl that can be won even if you win less than half of the 13 matches.

Skimpledawg:
Lmao. Bros Ibime.

I don't preach tithe in my church because I know how that concept has been bastardized in Christianity.

I teach people that giving in whatever forms stems from a heart that loves. And giving isnt all about finances. So, why not package that 'tithe' and help a young boy/girl who has no hope of school fees, feeding money or use the cash and buy foodstuffs and share amongst the needy in church, environment and office.

So, if one must give his tithe to a pastor it should not be because he/she is under duress or obligated to because a pastor said so. It should be because of love and not a mindset that feels the pastor gets richer from it. Nature itself has proven time and time again that tithe giving doesn't make anyone rich or wealthy just like Dayo posited few comments ago. God himself blesses the work of our hands and not a mindset that believes giving of tithe makes rich yet still, some believe tithe paying would make them rich.

Everyone has what works for him/her. Let's learn to respect peoples beliefs.

Anyone who thinks that tithing is like mmm, has simply not understood giving, instead, the person is planning to use God as a means to an end. Instead of tithing, let me use giving.

You cannot say you love and yet you can't give. You can't say you love God and you find it difficult to give for his work. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son". Now, why some Christians find it difficult to give is because they have not totally given their life to Christ. If you have not totally submitted everything about yourself to Christ, you will find it difficult to give the possession he has blessed you with to him for the furtherance of his work here on earth.

Now, tithe was given as a law to the israelites so that there will be enough food and money in the house of God to take care of the priests. Also, because of the human nature, and hard heart of the israelites, it was given to them as a law. If israelites were to understand God the way David did, maybe they would have just been told to just bring food into the house of God, without giving them a percentage measurement. But, if they were told like that, you would have seen that hunger would kill the priests working in the house of God, because many people will be thinking like oga Ibime (who wants to even give coins in the church grin

), I wonder how the priests will survive. But, we no longer live by the law, we now have the holy spirit in us as Christians, so we no longer need some one to tell us when to give and how to give. The Holy spirit in you will tell you how to give depending on how it is needed. In fact, if the Holy spirit is in you, giving will never become an issue for you. You will even feel like always giving everything and not just 10%.

Now, the Bible says, "Give, it shall be given unto you, good measure, shaking together and running over shall men give unto your bosom".

Now, look at the word in bold there, "men". When it is said that you receive blessing by giving, it does not mean that if you give 100 naira you go human expecting 1000 naira to be thrown from heaven to you, or someone will come and give you 1000 naira (although, it can still happen), but, no, it doesn't work like that. God blesses you from your handwork or what you do to earn money. That is why he said, "No food for a lazy man." One the of the things God does not like is, Unproductivity. In any way, God hates Unproductive people. Many scriptures are there to back it up: the parable of the servants and their master who gave them talents, the parable of the young men that were not doing anything at the evening time that were called to come and work, the parable of the 10 virgins (this has to do with smartness). God blessed Abraham from his farming work, same with isaac, job, Jacob, etc. Money never fell from heaven for them, but instead God Favoured them that, even where people were not getting profit from, they got profit from there. Where there was closed door for others, God opened a door for them. Lot took the portion of land that was more fertile and good looking than that of Abraham, but God still made Abraham to prosper more. That is how it works.

This is John D Rockerfeller, one of the richest ever Americans. He never joked with giving.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller

You don't need a law to tell you how much of the possession God has blessed you with that you should give for his work or to the needy.
This is one of the three places tithe was mentioned in the new testament, and the only mention of tithe by Jesus in the bible.

The account of luke and Mark.

Here's the text of Luke 11:42:

“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” (ESV)

And Matthew 23:23:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” (ESV).

Although, my denomination preach on tithe, but I believe a true Christian should not be given a percentage of how much he should give for God's work, but he should know that by giving his life 100%, the spirit of God in him will always tell him how to give for God's work which in use should be for, evangelism, welfare of the men of God and for social welfare of the needy in the society and church.
So, I give as the Holy spirit leads me on how the church needs it.
I also sow seed into the life of the men of God.

As a note.

Wisdom is profitable to direct

@Greatihex I read u post up there and this part caught my attention;

But, instead of going ahead to insult these men of God that have deviated, we should instead pray for them that they should return to the truth. The devil always target the head (pastors), because he knows that when he gives the pastor a false message and he begins to preach it, many believer (especially those not rooted in the word) will be deceived.

Please what opinion do you hold of Odumeje (The lion himself) in relation to Ur post up there? I believe u should know him and have seen his videos on the internet.

if you observe, what I mentioned is the men of God who deviated.

We should pray that his followers be liberated from demonic shackles, because they don't do those things with clear eyes after they are laid hand upon.

His practices are clearly from the pit of hell and have no relation with the light.

The Bible says "test all spirit".
