Well, it's my choice.
And I wish you a prosperous new year bro.

sure. Wish you same

See As INEC is glorifying/justifying incompetency

they are not. They are right on this. If the NPC cannot step up how is INEC supposed to get data on people dead or alive? It is not their job to certify people dead.

Lol like i say, we don't all have to share the same beliefs.
We can however choose to respect everyone's belief system.

I dont agree that we have to respect peoples believes. What you typed up there makes no sense and you need to know

Myer:
Please it serves a lot.
And I have 3 points.

1. Yes there are those that can get to a place of repentance from their home.
But there are those that need the atmosphere the church provides and the testimony of others to get to that place of repentance.

The last day of the year is significant for every human being.

You might not attend service throughout the year but some how the last day of the year makes you want to have some form of new year resolution or change of heart and the cross over can provide the right atmosphere for that.

2. Cross-over service had become a religious activity for already converted believers. So it is simply fullfiness of righteousness.

-Your parents expect you to go for cross over service.
-Your friends are all going so you dont want to be the odd one out so you also attend.
-Youre a worker in the church so you're actually expected to be there. Whether or not you want to be.

3. Cross over prayers.
While many are of the opinion that every day is the same. I believe astronomers, astrologers, agriculturists, and those who pay attention to times and seasons j understand that no 2 days are alike.
In fact zodiac signs are a proof that your birthday goes a long way to determine your personality as different from others.
Also the very fact that we have different significant seasons of rainfall,harmattan,dry season,etc shows that different days have different significance.
So clearly those who developed the calendar, having put the different seasons into considerations determined that the new year is significant.

Hence for those who determine to pray into the new year, it is a well acceptable and good religious ritual, psychological and therapeutic exercise.

That said, no matter the category you find yourself whether you recognise the cross over or not, just understand that days have different significance and the praying into the new year is not a bad idea.
Some times the prayers are answered, some times they are not. Supposedly also determined by God's pre determination for everyone

jeez. #facepalm

A Can of CANkerworms.

Only a simpleton will believe these guys represent Christians. They are (mostly) band of rogues.

By the way, if you are a criminal and you run into a church or mosque, we will chase you in and arrest you. God doesn't dwell in buildings made by the hands of filthy men.

Your body is His temple. Even CAN CAN't remember that.

well I agree with you, but I think the arrest of Nwosu in the church was unnecessary for many reasons. Lots of people where there, the even was also a sensitive one, there were many more options of arresting him a available it was not like that was an only available option...

Especially those that use water instead of tissue

KNOWMORE56:
Good! very good! For the fact that all these many religions agree with Hell fire - summary of rewards and retribution... that's the more reason you can't write it off.

*. Deuteronomy 19:15 " KJV:One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be ESTABLISHED ."

what are u saying? Totally off point

KNOWMORE56:
Hmm! As you cannot deny day and night, rewards and retribution, commendation and condemnation... so you cannot deny Heaven and Hell fire!

Take the picture below for example.
When you plant a tree and nurture it, it will mature and start to yield fruits.

Remember it's only one fruit/seed you planted, but during harvest time, you'll have millions of fruits/seed each year.

After this life each person enters harvest season.

*. Galatians 6:7 " KJV:Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap ."
8
KJV:For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption ; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap LIFE EVERLASTING ."

lot of fallacies here.
I cannot deny day and night because it is apparent, it is observable, it is real...
Heaven and hell, nothing but stories did not even originate from your religion .

Quoting bible means nothing. Is it supposed to be an authority? What about the hindu sanskrit? The Quran? Greek mythological texts? Odu Ifa?

InSenze1:
Bingo! Just as I thought! You have not been reading through - and yet you lazily comment without knowing what you are commenting on. I have not said a single word about the story of the boy with the purported NDE. Not a word.

I dont care.

incogni2o:
Still thinking about the bolded.

Any reasonable answer? Or I'll start stereotyping ladies with long nail fixes as Baboons.

makes sense to just stereotype them. Cos I honestly dont know how they would be able to wipe their asses

InSenze1:
Both.

lol.

InSenze1:
Summarize the contention, lets see that you understand it.

you are instructing me as my dad or my school teacher?

You really think this is an intellectual topic? Hehehehe
Keep waiting, I will come and help you dissect the cock and bull tale of the boy who died for 20 minutes. What a joke

Blessedofchrist:
I dn't engage people who do not believe in GOD.,do not transfer the demons that have captured your soul to me

lol. Ok

InSenze1:
Easy escapist route, simply congratulate others for their "patience" etc in order to disguise your own incapacity to articulate a meaningful point on the subject under discussion.

escape from what?

Blessedofchrist:
Dn't quote me again in ur life...pls

do you know this is a public forum. If you dont want to be quoted, dont post

LordReed:
The argument might work against a hard determinist not necessarily a materialist. I am not a hard determinist so I dunno why you think it works against me. Your conclusion is fallacious because you are extending one property of the individual components to the whole. A human being even though is made of chemicals is however more than the chemicals they are made of. A human being has agency that chemicals don't so to say that because chemicals don't have agency therefore the human has no agency is false.

This also works against your first faulty conclusion in reverse. That a human has agency doesn't sudden imbue his cells with agency.

Look up fallacy of composition.

u dey try I swear. I wish I can be patient like u

Blessedofchrist:
I also once passed out everything was gross darkness for three hours...doctors worked on me till i came back to life,years later when i gave my life to Christ,i can tell you i know what it feels like for someone to die,i was in ikeja going back home instantly it seems as if everything around me has vanished,the peace of Christ was in my heart..it literally seems as if i was walking a golden path to heaven,...so i understand that some people will go to hell and some heaven...some weaks ago,devils came into my room but night and where pulling my spirit out of my body...i was seeing my physical body until a bigger hand pushed me back into my body before i now woke up..

when I was a christian I used to have these types of experiences. It is all in your head, they are not real

Witches don't exist.

KNOWMORE56:
Yes heaven and Hell are real just as the Holy God and Satan are real, heaven and hell fire are as real as day and night...

1st I read it in the Bible but now it's even more clearly as we see the world coming to an end.

Outside the Bible I now know that the consequences of any action is going to be eternal..

na wa o

KNOWMORE56:
What is evidence? Please I need to KNOWMORE about the word...

We read and heard almost everything... we choose the ones to believe and disbelieve the other....

like we read and heard that somebody traveled to the moon, what was the evidence that makes you accept it to be true?

similarities between species is self evident for one, mutations are also self evident. It is beyond belief it is fact and observable

Went to the zoo yesterday. Was quite surprised to learn that human beings share 50% of our DNA with...

BANANAS .

No jokes!

sure

MaxInDHouse:
Hilarious!

You're not doubting God's word yet you're always talking about Christianity and what the Bible says, shey?

No wonder Jesus said you people are spiritually blind, deaf and dumb. If you're not doubting something why have you raised over 60 different threads on this section RELIGION?

Eeyaa! If only you can humble yourself i'm sure you'll be cured from this spiritual disability!

exactly I am always talking about christianity because people need to speak up about this fraud of a religion

IMAliyu:
An analogy would be like being asked to show a baby turn into a full grown man.
If you've lived with children you'd know that their growth is gradual and slight that you really can't tell any difference from day to day, but travel out for a few months and come back and notice a world of difference. With modern tech it's possible to take a picture of someone from birth to death and create a montage showing their growth changes to answer such a request.
In evolutionary biology I'm guessing the equivalent of those pictures are fossil records, and DNA. To actively show an animal evolve we'd need to conduct a multi-generational observation or experiment, or do such an observation/experiment on microbs, because they reproduce at a really fast rate, which has already been done.

at last some one who understands the subject and knows exactly what he or she is saying. Because bacteria reproduce very quickly, this has been more observable with microbes

MaxInDHouse:
My friend, no let am pain you!

That's the truth!

The only reason why those guys declared themselves ATHEISTS is simply because they are doubting God's word, so stop deceiving yourself!

I can speak for myself. I am not doubting Gods word. Where is God's word? I have not even seen the gods word talkless of doubting it. Have you seen gods word?

lol. Ok sir

Myer:
Exactly.
This is why I could no longer defend the evolutionist theory.

Now eventhough i am sceptical about the creationist theory, I'm also just as sceptical about the evolutionist theory.

Which is why I have assumed the position of the agnostic. I understand that it's not everything we can have an answer to.
Cos concerning the existence of life, we may never have the answer.

None has been able to prove with concrete evidence how life and the universe came to be.

I used to be like this until I started listening to a lot of biologists. I realize it makes sense because there are indeed proofs for evolution and the questions we ask such as the one you asked are actually ridiculous. How can we expect to see an animal evolve? It is so gradual you cannot notice until you compare over a period of time enough that the changes are observable.

Myer:
I intentionally ignore your mentions and posts because you're painfully predictable.

Every engagement with you starts and ends with promoting your organisation which imakes you sound mechanical.

Just decided to address the bolded.

Who am I shy of? You??

If I was an atheist I would gladly declare it.
But I'm not.
So stop constituting public nuisance on people's threads.

you dey answer that guy. He quotes you and ensures he adds subtle accusations to make sure you reply him. He is just doing that because he likes it when you reply him even when he is making no sense

Myer:
Ok agreed.
Can you mention any known animal that has evolved to your knowledge?

this question is ridiculous because if you truly understand how much DNA has to change for you to say a specie evolved into another, you wont expect we should have seen animals that have fully gone through the process. But take a look at the genome of most animals and see how transcendent they are, all animals share so much of their genome with many others of different species many animals can even be said to be transitional such as the platypus, there are fishes with lung like structures, mammals laying eggs, snakes with limb like growths etc. Many species are actively changing but don't expect any major change any time soon as these genetic changes are so gradual, but still 100% evident and most changes are not beneficial and eventually die off, this makes it a time demanding process if only u can take time to learn a bit more about how it works

Exactly why i asked you if you are algae. i am not an expert on algae but that algae is developed doesn't mean humans are not created. They are not the same are they?

what created humans and why do you think humans must have been created
