nairaland is a business that makes profit through traffic. I observe that whenever educative threads made by smart people that's thought provoking hits FP it hardly gets past page 2. on the other hand, a thread about Tonto Dikeh breathing would have so many views and posts. Since this is a business that relies on traffic the mods are then encouraged to push threads about Tonto Dikeh, some unknown actress having curves etc since that's what 97% of accounts and guests click on. I've resigned to this fate so I tend to go to different sections to find educative threads.

Something happened this season during the Real Madrid Vs Barcelona laliga match. that match thread didn't make FP even though it's actually the biggest match in club football. on that very day a thread on a match between Liverpool youth team and Aston Villa made FP. that's because there are a lot more EPL fans on nairaland compared to Laliga ones so they catered to the majority.

It's a catch 22 for nairaland and I understand her conundrum. If nairaland pushes more educative threads to FP they seek not getting many clicks which might lead to the "death" of the site so they need to keep what works and stick to it. I don't know if you'd do differently if you were handed the reins but I know I'd maintain status quo if I were there.

In other words, they are sacrificing quality for clicks.

Yawns, this is totally unnecessary.

Look very well. The answer is there. Just say you have a preset expected answers. No body can do that except God. For, that relax, it's just a matter of time, if He doesn't tell you and the OP on this side of eternity, then wait till you meet Him one on one , that will be fine.

Then why have you been disturbing the whole nairaland, if all we have to do is wait.

Ontoog:
Correct me if i am wrong,but wasn't Satan jealous about the humans that God created and decided to rebel,thinking he was powerful enough but lost and was thrown down because he never knew how powerful God was.
i would say God isn't all-knowing but is powerful,but doesn't care enough to kill Satan because he benefits from it

God isn't powerful shít, he never fought any other God or Supreme being, except an angel more concern about his beauty and vocal range.

God isn't Omnipotent, cos' when you're Omnipotent you're automatically "all knowing"

jamesid29:
Hmmm, ok.

Now that you brought it up... personally, I don't think the subject of hell as ever really held any central point in my Christain life. I can't even remember the last time I thought about it, or if I ever really did think about it... I guess on a subconscious level John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." has held more of a central point for me in my Christain faith.

Anyway,it is well. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Eternal life, you want to live for ever, even if that means believing in talking snake and pink unicorn, shame on you.

Are you an Atheist?

No I believe in a virgin giving birth.

CAPSLOCKED:
BECAUSE ONLY ARMSTRONG IS "THE FIRST MEN TO LAND ON THE MOON". HONESTLY MANY OF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SINGLE SENSE.

Don't generalize when there are exception, it's like saying those men are dead and I pointed out that there's a man alive among them.
This does not only cancels what you said but also makes you stu.pid.

Next time you reply me, think long and hard, I'm not your average human.

CAPSLOCKED:
THERE ARE IRRELIGIOUS PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW ABOUT GALAXIES AND PLANETS.

THERE ARE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE THAT KNOW ALL THOSE THINGS. THE FIRST MEN TO LAND ON THE MOON WERE CHRISTIANS.

DON'T BLAME RELIGION FOR PEOPLE NOT KNOWING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE.

Armstrong wasn't Christian you dumb. fucc go get you self educated.

Its either you miss the point intentionally, or you're just that dumb

Hmmmmmm

Anyone thinking this World is Gonna Get Better should have a Rethink!

This World cannot get better until we come back with JESUS CHRIST for the Millienium reign

Where was Jesus when the man was beheaded.

When you buy a car, say Toyota Hilux, and you discover immediately that it has faults, what do you do?

More like who do you blame, the car (human) or the manufacturer (God)

BackllGodNaija:
Hmmm....

From what you said, I just hope there was no ulterior motive...

You said she should have deleted the porn movies before giving to you...I think you have a point there since such could lead to devastating consequences...

I just hope that wasn't deliberate...

However credit to you that regardless you weren't moved.

Whatever her true intentions were, don't judge her...but just have a word with her concerning it.

However I would advise, that you be very careful around her since you're not sure of what her true motives were.

I'll advice the shameless man to keep quite, the moment he talks with her about sex and his wife finds out, he's already complicating his marriage.

You're a Christian go to God in prayers

Aplaudez:
You're a married claimed, it's very essential you learn to mind your business, the problem you have is trusting people and look at it, it failed you! Just let the mature girl be!

very shameless man.

Vision202:
I would like to seek opinion of others on what to do about this issue.

It happened some weeks ago when my wife's sister (younger sister) came to me that she just downloaded a movie (The train) that it will be nice for us to watch it.

So she gave me her phone which I connected to my laptop so as to copy and transfer to my flash drive and later to connect to the TV to have a bigger screen view.

She told me the title of the movie which I searched for and I told her I didn't see it.

Immediately she wasn't feeling comfortable and she came and stood behind me as we searched for the movie together.

So I asked where she downloaded the movie from she told me vidmate so I went to download files under vidmate.
When it opened there were a lot of movies there as a looked for the move I saw some porn movies along the files. I had to focused on the movie we were looking for and pretended as if I didn't see anything, I copied the said movie and pasted it on the desktop. After, she quickly removed the USB cord and took her phone.

What baffled me was that I never expected such thing from her, because I knew her to be a good girl and a lover of Christ. I was disappointed and embarrassed, she felt embarrassed too and she wasn't feeling comfortable throughout that night.

She should have at least deleted those porns before handling over her phone to me.

Why do ladies watch porn? What will she gain watching it because I don't think she engages in sex.

I never mentioned it to anyone and we relates as if nothing happened. We even watched the movie together with my wife the following day.

My concern now is hope I have done the right thing? Or I should have advised her that watching porn is not good?

The bible says anyone who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

Also there is this quote I saw somewhere the world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people.

Note: She is an adult, just graduated from the university.

Thanks as I await your response.

She is trying to be free and open with you, if someone doesn't want you to know they watch porn, there's no way you'll find out.

Righteousness89:
Brother you have Answered your Question !

To Him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is Sin..

She is a young lady under your care.

Talk to her about it and caution her on the effect, Spirtually and Physically!

You may not Neccessarily tell your wife. But Ensure you Caution her.

Your keeping quiet could mean a whole lot

Take your stupidity away from this thread, you think someone from the university is still a child.

You call your self righteousness, but all your thinking is towards the left.

If not for education, this person you're saying watching porn would have been married with children.

Is it because she's in your house eating your food that you feel you have the right to tell an adult what to watch? smh

pablobellins:
u seem to know much; i doubt u garner this knowledge by mere reading of the bible

The dude is in self denial, he twist things till it fits his perspective. I'm his medicine.

MuttleyLaff:
"And Jesus said to them,
“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
And they were amazed at Him"
- Mark 12:17

Render unto physical things that are physical, and to conceptual things, render that are conceptual

We don't need render our morals to this God, when this God has killed more people than corona virus.

bright007:
Both beliefs are hallucinations!


They were invented because of the inherent human fear of the unknown.

And psychopaths who want to believe everyone is a sinner, even babies.

No, the Gods in both religion are different. How?

1. The requirements for entering heaven (Paradise) and hell are different.

2. The reward in after life are different, one promise milk and honey, the other 72 virgins.

MuttleyLaff:
Some people have lost that ability to know bad from good. It's similar to losing sense of taste, smell, sight, hearing, feeling pain or not et cetera

Do not mistake physical things with conceptual things.

One can physical touch all his/her sense organs, but can't physically touch their morals, get it.

petra1:
It’s true, then they are going to hell.

at this point, if God does not take people to hell, the Christians will drag them there themselves, buhahahaha.

The white being scared that black will become more than them in population is useless, they shouldn't fight it.

Many years from now, the whole world will be filled with only black and brown skin, and there is nothing no one can do about.

Because a white woman marrying a black man will still give birth to a black child, even if you reverse the case, black wins

Enoch07:
where was Jesus born? who gave birth to Jesus? was the person an African? I know the holy spirit just entered Mary, but talk true do u really think Jesus is black? that will also answer the question if God himself is black. omo I no dey like discuss this kind of issues sha I'm just saying

The Bible said his black, not like I care.

BackllGodNaija:
Not everything real can be proven by humans to be true, because humans have limitations.

That something cannot be proven to exist doesn't in any way mean that it is not real.

Even jugdes would not always wait to have proof before they sentence a murder suspect to jail...they might hinge their judgement on the evidence presented before them, even just human witnesses.

An innocent woman was giving a life sentence by a judge who pronounced her guilty of murdering her own child.

It was only after she had already spent twenty years in jail, that it was proven that it wasn't her but a wild animal that killed her child.

So she spent a whole twenty years because she didn't have proof of her innocence to present before the judge, even though the truth was that she was innocent.

That illustrates the limitations of humans...both the woman and judge.

By the way, this is a true story.

Of course your story is true, now for a land flowing with milk and honey, buhahahaha.

BackllGodNaija:
Well...then...truth is trash to you.

What truth?

I'm not one to reject anything just like that.

Mermaid may exist, considering we humans have only explored 5% of the ocean.

Also an intelligent creatures like Mermaid should successfully be able to hide from human.

As for Mermaid being Angel is too much, Angel already have wings, giving them fish legs on that is trying too hard.

sonmvayina:
I want to suggest something... Let us take out Satan from the equation..the narrative becomes clearer. I don't really know how he affect the equation.. If God says yes, the final outcome will be Yes, if God says No the final out come will be No.. ALL power belongs to God..so says Peter in his epistle.

I wonder where Christians get the power they give to Satan..

So since Satan has no effect on the final outcome.. Why introduce it into the equation, for all I care Satan =0...

If you do good God blesses you, if you do evil he punishes you.. He expects you to learn from your mistake, pick yourself up and keep moving. Confess your evil, forsake it and he will forgive and remember your sin NO MORE..

There was never any need for Jesus or Satan in the equation.. NEVER.

The removal of Satan contradict the creation story, the removal of Jesus contradict the salvation story.

A religion shouldn't be built on contradiction.

Primesky:
[s]

Just because things are not the way you think they should be, shouldn't make you begin to question God's omniscience. His ways are far higher than ours, and we can NEVER know all of it and understand all if it. It remains the exclusive reserve of God. Give him that respect.

I can not say that I know why things happened the way they did. One thing I've come to know is that our reasoning, no matter how smart and sensible it might be, stands no chance against God's wisdom. Job had that experience when after his postulations which made sense, he become silent when God began questioning him.

However, I do know that before anything happens, God already knows about it from the very beginning, for as far as God is concerned, everything that shall play out in this world is like a recorded movie for him, no surprises whatsoever, but dealing with rational, conscious humans and angels, we have to choose. God knows that if you go this way or that, you will perish or be saved. He tells you about the danger. I know you will say why doesn't he stop you from the danger, I can't tell. It's like asking a father, since you know that fire can burn your child's hand, why do you light it in the first place, the father or mother understands the fire and what it can do, and warns the child not to go near it. If the child sturbornly goes after the fire, would you say to the parents why do you have fire in your house in the first place, assuming they didn't keep it carelessly?. There are many examples one can give about it. But I know God can never be wrong, neither can his omnifisciency be denied, the devils don't deny it, why should we then question it, because we don't know it?.

Take this. The things we now know or think we know are nothing compared to the things we're yet to know. Neither does any creature, angels inclusive, know everything and every reason behind the works of God. If he's God to you, then trust what he says, the moment you understand everything about him, which of cause is impossible, will he still be God?.

Take a look at these two passages of scripture

1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.

The things which were made manifest at this time where already ordained even before the foundation of the world. Can someone who has no idea of the future do this, how did he know their will be need for it?.


Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.


In the eyes of men Jesus died a little over two thousand years ago, but it was a settled matter even before God created the world, how?. It means he knew of the sin problem, and quickly arranged a solution for it. No angel knew about this until the moment came, and even after he made the promise in the garden of Eden, Satan had no idea how it will be done. Avoiding a path because theirs a challenge is some worth a sign of powerlessness against that challenge. What I understand in all of it is that, God doesn't back down because he sees a problem ahead, He goes on and defeats that problem.

This is my understanding of it. God is omnipotent, and omniscient. He is not threatened by no body, Satan the arch enemy had to take permission from him to test Job to prove a point. God doesn't fight the devil, he intervains for man's sake. Where have you heard or read that God was in battle with Satan?, it's angels, men and servants of God that use God's power to deal with him. A 6 year old child can cast out the devil by simple faith and trust in God's name.

God will destroy Satan in His own time and choosing, the devils also know this. So the sovereignty of God over time and space is not questionable at all. [/s]

God is a failure, an omnipotent that a little Satan spoiled the creation he intended to create.

He should be called Omni Impotent, dude being failing since creation.
