gensteejay:
As a former Muslim, I understand your view quite well. I even have the literature you made that quote from here.

By the time you learn the history of older religions that predate Christianity and Islam, you will realize your religion isn't the origin of virtually every concept in it.

Almost every aspect of your religion has its roots in old paganistic beliefs.

Both Qur'an and the Bible were plagiarized from older religious texts. So both religions have many paganistic practices.

Christians are celebrating Easter now. But most of them don't know it's a festival with roots in paganism.

Who was Easter (Ishtar)? There are many resources online about the ancient goddess.

Science didn't just start today, even from the books on histories of religions I read, older (extinct) civilizations were more technologically advanced than us.

When Allah tells you in the Qur'an that he created man, he didn't use magic. He used science (biogenetics).

Yahweh also makes the same (creation) claim in the Bible. If you study texts of old Egyptian religions, you will see how their gods and goddesses designed a vessel (body) and put a soul in it.

In ancient Egypt, it was a common practice among the gods and goddesses there to capture a soul in a container.

All these technologies the gods and goddesses used are lost/hidden and are very advanced, much more than today's science.

Comparing ancient sciences with modern ones is like comparing a 10,000-year old institution to another one that's less than a thousand years old.

Science and technology isn't new, as most tend to believe.

In conclusion, it's important to read wide and learn history.

When you do that, you'll realize most of the things in your religion didn't originate from it, but from much older religions, who are now dead.

Just as people die, religions, languages also do. And today's religions will face the same fate (death) of the older religions.

abeg o, no vex. I would like to know how the big bang model made humans to speak different languages?

Was it caused by different waves that were present in the places they travelled to? Were the waves the technology of the Egyptian gods and goddesses?

gensteejay is obviously an agnostic

ibime is someone who believe in christ i guess but doesn't believe in certain doctrine ( he hates Pentecostal e.g them adeboye, t.b joshua, chris , oyedepo etc )

BlueRayDick issues is with some pastors

iamoyindamola is probably a muslim but doesnt believe in certain doctrine in islam too ( but favours islam in all his conversation )

digzz izzou airmark odizeey Greatihex ( this one is probably a pastor ) and co full blown christian who believe in tithes and will pay tithes till they die

bro dayo doesn't like modern day christian

the rest i didnt mention probably fall in any of the listed categories

I am not a pastor, prophet, apostle, teacher or evangelist, but I will not refuse to answer if I am called to be one.

Having said that, just like my denomination believe, I believe in the priesthood of all believers. Christ was not referring to pastors alone when he said this,

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

So, "you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you," is not for pastors alone.

Although, one might require a specially anointed man of God/another person as a key to the answer to some of his requests, but in general the power to has been given to all believers.

What you see happening to some people here is that there are now many false prophets and true men of God that have deviated from the truth, this has in turn caused the love of many for the things of God to grow cold. We now have atheist etc as a result.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBw2xcV_H4o

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA5f66lAHrw

Do not be ignorant of the devices of the devil. The devil can sometimes masquerade as the angel of light to deceive, even the elect. That is why the days will be shortened.

The life we are living here on earth is not our own, if it was our own we would have to choose when to die, which if judging by the nature of humans, we would choose never to die. But because it is not our life, we don't have a choice whatsoever on when the will be gone.

We all want to live eternal life, but eternal live can never be achieved with this corrupted flesh that we have. Until we lose our lives to christ, we will not have it.
"He who wants to keep his life will lose it (eternal lose), but he who loses his live will have it (eternal life).

The devil is not interested on what we have here on earth, no. The devil is only interested in your soul, which he wants to be eternally condemned the way he has already been condemned. He wants to use us to mock Jesus Christ, that the death he died on the cross will be in vain. That is why the devil can give you riches and every pleasures of the world, while leaving you with the spirit of, fornication, adultery, idolatry, lies, so that in the end when he is tired of using you to draw other people to his kingdom, he can then kill the person, who will then be eternally condemned, but a lot of people don't know this.

This dominion over the earth which was given to man by God in Eden was stolen from man when Adam disobeyed, but we can return to that dominion when we return to God through Christ.

So, whatever we do, we should know that we will SURELY give account of how we lived our life here on earth. A lot of people will be shocked to discover the truth when they die, but then it will be too late to repent. So, repent now and have a relationship with Christ your saviour, so that you will be able to rise with him on the last days and not die the second death.

The message of Christ is not to scare you, but to give you hope.
Amen.

Morrocans like to showboat a lot in the midfield. I played with some of them when i was in Dubai. They were annoying with the ball. They actually told me Okocha was their best Nigerian player, because of his bag of tricks.

My style of play is like Martins', but i will say i could dribble more than him as i started as a right winger.

Before i leave nairaland, i will drop one gif of one of my goals. ; D

when would that be? Because it seems to me like infinito.

The summary of mine is that you ONLY get rich by economic means not by spiritual means

If you have evidence of spiritual riches lets put it to test and isolate it or switch it with other scenarios to know the impact of that spiritual riches not by using economic means to get money and claiming its spiritual

Pastors getting rich is by economic means because when many people contribute to one person he will be rich even if he's an atheist

Why are the pastors not ignoring the economic factors and using spiritual means to get rich

Its like claiming I can use jazz to travel yet I still enter plane when I am going to America and claim its my jazz that's aiding the plane to move me to America

Isolate your jazz from planes and move with the jazz alone

Or put your jazz on a snail or tortoise and use it to get to America

Izzou airmark that is my point

someone that thinks he knows too much and always wants to see physical evidence to everything can never walk with God, even other spirits.

You are just simply being ignorant.

Maybe you are thinking that if someone says God blessed him with riches what it means is that God threw money from heaven for that person to be spending here on earth. No, it doesn't work like that. Despite the fact that God can break protocol/principles to answer some prayers, but
It is humans that God still uses to answer the prayers of men.

Sometimes I am confused on what you believe in.

Now can you answer me this, do you claim to be a Christian or do you just believe that there is an Almighty God and that is it?

If you just believe that there is a God and that is it, what do you think that God is there for?

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:
2
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
3
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5
But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.
7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy
10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Oga, my wife and Children attend Church of England and I join them at times. We don't pay any tax. I've never heard any preaching about offering or tithe. If we put £5 inside collection plate make them take am like that. Na wetin most people dey put inside. If not for shame, na coins I go put inside sef.

Do you know any Catholic that pays a fixed percentage of their income?

Na only Pentecostals go dey talk tithe, some even carry first fruit add. I'm not talking just Naija, but Pentecostals everywhere, although our Naija ones take it to another level.

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful unclothedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b] and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11 Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.

The Resurrection of the Dead
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? 31 I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,

“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”[d]

33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”[e] 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

The Resurrection Body
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[f]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[g] bear the image of the heavenly man.

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[i]

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

He has risen. Hallelujah!!!!

Once again, you are hand picking favourable parts that suit you.

However, I still can't tell if you have actually read the Bible whole and if you have, I can't understand the rationale behind you worshipping such a jealous, genocidal, wicked, inhumane character and mass murderer. I mean, if you had such a character today who did half of what the god of the Bible did, you will definitely call for his death much less think of worshipping the character.
Indeed this is what the Boko Haram extremists are doing. They are also following the instructions of that same God to the letter but you do condemn them don't you?
But if your daddy G.O. today called upon you today to pick up arms today and convert "souls" for Christ, wouldn't you be the first in line to do so??
I'll pick some verses of the Bible for you to prove my points.

Hosea 16;3
The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be smashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.”

In that verse above, because a group of people rebelled against him, he commanded a genocide against them, not sparing even innocent children, he further instructed that pregnant womens stomach be ripped apart and their unborn children be slain.

I want to reason deeply about this particular verse and tell me you are not offended that someone would be this inhumane, in today's term they are ruthless dictators. If you are not offended by this, then know that you possess the trait of a serial killer.

I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race, 4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. 5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

God’s Sovereign Choice
6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring. 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses,

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— 24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? 25 As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”

26 and,

“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”

27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,
only the remnant will be saved.
28 For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”

29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:

“Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.”

Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

Of course you would quote a part of the Bible that suits your narrative at this point, the same bible that enabled and justifies slavery. The same bible that justifies genocide and mass murders.
I find it hypocritical when Christians criticize Boko Haram activities when the two religions share almost same ideologies.

The owner/CEO of this site once gave a nice summary of this bible and ideology you share.

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Of course you would quote a part of the Bible that suits your narrative at this point, the same bible that enabled and justifies slavery. The same bible that justifies genocide and mass murders.
I find it hypocritical when Christians criticize Boko Haram activities when the two religions share almost same ideologies.

The owner/CEO of this site once gave a nice summary of this bible and ideology you share.

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Rather than address the point I raised, you said you will pray for me, why haven't you prayed for the suffering innocent children with terminal diseases at hospitals? Why does your "god" let them die? Let me guess, her ways are mysterious and she should never be questioned, right?

You have to acknowledge that when you pray, you are just talking to yourself, at that very moment, there is very little difference between you and a patient in an asylum who soliloquises constantly. Get yourself to ask some important questions.

Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.

“Come and see,” said Philip.

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”

50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

Continue to allow yourself to be brainwashed, he prayed for the Holy Ghost fire to burn those who wish you bad, what happened to gods unbridled love for his creation?
My friend, start thinking for yourself! I know the path to questioning all you have known all your life is very difficult, but you have to start questioning what you believe else you are not much different from the Boko Haram extremists. Unbridled faith without evidence is a very dangerous disease.

I pray for you today, that you will have an encounter with the Lord Jesus that you may be saved, in Jesus name. Amen.

I asked because I'm starting to think phone processor speed will have a role to play, especially for those complaining that it gets slower with longer text.

I'm just speculating sha.

it's possible.

Two questions.
1. Did it get slower as you continued editing?
2. What's the processor and RAM size of your phone?

it got faster along the line.
My RAM is 4gb with Qualcomm snapdragon 632

Working with the snippets buttons is the worst, imagine then changing from being buttons to being words in your transcript.
And as an advice, do not ever ever try reloading your work.

I never experienced any of these.

I reloaded an 11 minutes square call 3 times today and nothing happened to my work.

I mistakenly added a speaker label that I didn't want to added, all I did was to touch the label and it went back to join with the other one that was same with it.

I don't know how you guys are having problems with it. Maybe, it is because I remove all snippet before I start working.

Arlen really outdid herself on this one

being slow on phone is when working on a long minute call, otherwise, no problem at all.
