No need for him to off his mic. God respects our value of time and encourages us to take stock and number our days. Some of you think God has to come down or write how you should drink garri before He shows approval or pleasure.

be tracking my comments on nairaland up and down.

treatise:
I thought the calendar was invented by Saint Gregory in the 15th century and why are we celebrating today as new year as if it is a day set by God?

lol. Comrade off the mic.

Myer:


I hope not.

hehehe.

Baba say 11 gb no much.

I never reach that level yet o. I no De even connect my laptop unless wetin I wan do I no fit do am with phone

I understand you sha. Unlimited data is very popular now and even if you cannot afford it, you will have a neighbour or office close by that has wifi you can share. Gone are the days when we download compressed movies, music etc. These days it is easy to download and access high quality media. But it depends on your needs anyway

Myer:
One thing about religion is simple.

Know how to chew the meat and throw away the bone.

I hope you get.

well, I understand you, but you are still chewing a lot of bones.

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

sure. Wish you same

helinues:


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.

Myer:
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

CANcerous CAN.
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...

shantti:
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

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

....wait for it.....






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?

CR77:
I go repent when APC fulfill the promise way dem promise nigeria
