As usual you are twisting the scripture to suit your false doctrine that Bible verse is not about honouring those men you mentioned  but is given  to us as an  example of people who had faith in God and overcame their challenges.besides None of those men were perfect or without sin as you people claim  Mary is without Sin.
Moses:disobeyed God
Abraham lied several times.
David was a muderer and adulterer.
Jacob stole his brothers birthright.
Sarah.  lied
Mary: am sure her sins are many.
The list of great servants of God who fell one time or  the other is endless. Only Jesus  lived a Holy and perfect life no one else could have done that  including Mary.

Clap clap clap

Road construction is what Nigerians see as development

How about planning a whole new city with skyscraper, then we can have something like Johannesburg, Dubai, New York in every major cities in Nigeria

If the incoming governor get sworn in , he will continue this same road construction again, tell me how can we develop by this??

Thank you ojare.

God bless you

I thought he was jubrin from Sudan. Now his parents aren't from Nigeria.

This is just stupid!

In 2012 the APC championed against the removal of fuel subsidy and Jonathan had to step back

Now that the APC is in power, they are reminded they are hypocrites when ever they try and raise the pump price and it stings!

Now, PDP is suggesting a rise in the minimum wage to 30000 which they know is not even affordable is a scam.

Tomorrow were they to assume power, the NLC will paint them as hypocrites when they refuse to increase wages of a bloated and inefficient civil service

All I see is history repeating itself

APC was founded in 2013.

Buhari is just stealing money left right and center

darkcaesar03360:
people will say anything to bring this noble man down, no matter what happens history still gon' remember him as the voice of the oppressed and deluded

Hahahaha at voice of the deluded. The deluded don't want voice o. They want to be deluded

MossLuv:
I think some preachers are misquoting what the scriprure mean by "men should not wear what belong to women and women should not wear what belong to men" To my own understanding, the bible did not mean trousers or any design of wears but any of the wears that have been used by women men should not wear and one that have been used by men, women should not use again. EVEN Our tradition forbade it.

So God will roast a godly woman in hell who had served God diligently her whole life because she wore trouser of a man.

Had similar experience then. And with Jumia, bought BB curve and it started having issues after 6 months. Only to find out it was refurbished. So sad.

We're fighting corruption my foot

Corruption is a cultural thing. And everyone is an hypocrite. If there's a nationwide clamp down on corruption I'm very sure you'll protests.

Nigeria cultural corruption is a hopeless situation because everyone is corrupt but not the individual.

Horlufemi: Someone may be thinking “I thought God INVENTED RELIGION!” Sorry, but God INVENTED Man and Man INVENTED RELIGION.

I feel the key to the discussion lies in this statement of yours captured in your OPENING SALVO......I think its possible and not a bad thing to say that God detest RELIGION INVENTED by MAN and NOT God hate RELIGION as you the OP Posit.


What is "religion".......according to Merriam Webster

1. the belief in a god or in a group of gods: 

2. an organized SYSTEM of BELIEFS,CEREMONIES, and RULES used to WORSHIP a god or a group of GODS: 

4. an interest, a belief,

5. or an activity that is very important to a person or group


Going by DEFINITION number 2..........


Jesus said:
“It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach COMMANDS of MEN as DOCTRINES.’”” (Mt 15:9)


ACCORDING to this, any system of WORSHIP crafted on the basis of the RULES of MEN, leads to GODS disapproval. Since all religions are based on the RULES and INTERPRETATIONS of MEN, we can simplify this statement to say, “ALL RELIGION is CONDEMNED by GOD.” Why? Because it replaces the rule of GOD with the rule of MEN, and we know from Ecclesiastes 8:9 that ‘MAN dominates Man to his INJURY.’


James 1:27, KJV: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

For an individual to take to James words here, you don't need to be attached to INSTRUCTIONS from SMALL or SUPERSTRUCTURES EMBOLDEN in all RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS today to follow through. This is where I feel the RELATIONSHIP with GOD ASPECTS of the OP discussion comes in as the later part of the scripture states about KEEPING SELF spotless from the WORLD. To do this likewise you don't need small or SUPERSTRUCTURES in RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS to do so.

In summary, I don't want to believe that what you are trying to pass across is GOD HATE RELIGION rather you are trying to EMPHASIZE that GOD HATE MAN- MADE RELIGION.

You get it perfectly.

Thank you

ayo0147:
Question I keep asking the public,why do they hate police? These are the same people that fight for you,respond to distress calls,did u think its easy to respond to distress calls? Can you even confront any armed men that is fully loaded who doesn't care about your life?assuming the said man is your dad or brother how will u feel? There is something the public need to know,the policemen have family just like you,they have brothers,sisters,uncles,dad,mum and friends just like you do,please let's encourage them,its not easy to fight against crime,if not for them,you won't be able to have a free night rest,but one thing i know you can't pleased everyone......,.... Born to defend.....

If you think of all the unnecessary deaths these kind of men have caused. You'll have no pity for them.

Rate of death of civilians at the hands of these devilish men is almost like that of Armed Robbers.

It's almost safe to say police are armed robbers with operating license.

I don't pray you have any encounter with them.

Horlufemi:


I get your point. You need some daring title to make people question and read the article. Like "How can God hate Religion?" Its deliberate

MuttleyLaff:
and you must have grown a very long nose after typing this

What points are you waiting to see, is it the one after I typed "you are my padi, so let's get things in the proper perspective, if Yes, God hates religion and truly that religion is the problem, please can you paste here for all to see and read, all the James 1:27 bible translations you possibly can find" or what?

You obliged and from that revealed that you lied that God hates religion, because James 1:27 clearly and specifically narrated the sort of religion God likes and/or approves of. The verse left no one one in doubt that God loves this particular sort of religion.

You dug yourself a hole further in the ditch by saying:"God want relationship not religion." sic which is another misleading bullshit. Then you went on a rant and rave about competing and arguing with yourself, deluding yourself that you are learning. Need I go on, need I say more points, huh?

?

MuttleyLaff:
This is because lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons

You free to compete with yourself, no one is stopping you arguing with yourself. No you arent learning, you are incorrigble.

You cant handle the truth

You are kinda boastful and you haven't said anything.

Awaiting your points let's see.

MuttleyLaff:
"Yes, God hates religion…
I will give you Biblical support for that statement in a moment.
Someone may be thinking “I thought God invented religion!” Sorry, but God invented Man and Man invented religion."

This is exactly what empty barrels say and do, making loud noise. "Lu pangolo and se ariwo kọ ni music", loosely translated means "Making noise upandan the place, isnt necessarily making good music"

Bobo no energy to discuss anymore. Just can't deal right now.

This isn't a competition. I'm not for arguments either. We are all learning.

Drop your points we go dey alright las las

Amuocha:
It is our money. No need for this foolish thanksgiving

After 2015 the track was "GEJ Project"
2019 the track has changed to "It's our money, no need for foolish thanks"

When you don't like someone nothing they do is right.

MuttleyLaff:
God requires both, He requires a horizontal and vertical relationship. The horizontal relationship needs religion, that is true, pure and faultless to be effective and valid. Man have created many false religions that God doesnt approve of nor necessarily requires

There's nothing I will explain that you'll understand. Sometimes we need to unlearn and relearn. Everything is self explanatory. Just try to meditate you'll get it. You'll get it in your own time. Shalom bro.

MuttleyLaff:
It's apparent the religion that God our Father doesnt accept as pure and faultless is false religion.
Yes, God loves religion

God want relationship not religion.

You need to understand

Religion requires you to do to be righteous (ability) set rules to follow.

Relationship allows you to do because it's who you are.

Man created religion.

What to do with your opinion.

Let them do their thing

Who made the tornado

Not who, what.

Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient (1) instability and (2) wind shear present in the lower atmosphere. Instability refers to unusually warm and humid conditions in the lower atmosphere, and possibly cooler than usual conditions in the upper atmosphere.

Horlufemi, you are my padi, so let's get things in the proper perspective, if Yes, God hates religion and truly that religion is the problem, please can you paste here for all to see and read, all the James 1:27 bible translations you possibly can find

James 1:27 Parallel Verses
James 1:27, NIV: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

James 1:27, ESV: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

James 1:27, KJV: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

James 1:27, NASB: "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."

James 1:27, NLT: "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."

James 1:27, CSB: "Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

What does James 1:27 mean?
In the previous verse, James called out anyone who labels themselves as religious, but doesn't control their tongues—their words. Such people are lying to themselves. What this implies is that it is not enough to participate in religious ceremonies, keep a few commands, or refer to ourselves as a religious followers. So far as Christianity is concerned, obedience to God is meant to be followed down to the level of every word we speak.

James lived in a very religious time in history. He was born into the religion of Judaism, a political-religious system instituted by God Himself. It had been corrupted over time by its human leadership, leading to great misunderstanding about who God was and what He wanted from His people. In addition, the culture of that era was packed with religions that included the worship of all kinds of idols and false gods. All of them had specific rules and practices. All of them gave people a false sense of security in exchange for money or loyalty or ritualistic obedience. None of them was pure or undefiled religion.

Now, though, James writes that there is a form of religious expression that is still pure and undefiled before God. It is simple, though not easy: show up with the widows and orphans in their suffering. Help them. And don't let yourself be polluted or stained by the world.

As with other verses, we need to carefully understand the point at hand. James is not restricting "right religion" to only literal care for literal widows and orphans. At the time James wrote, these represented society's most helpless members. Widows, in that culture, were women who had lost their husbands prior to bearing children. This left them destitute. Children without parents, and women without husbands, were among that culture's most needy. According to this verse, "pure" religion is defined as caring for those who are in need, and avoiding the sins of the world.

When the New Testament speaks of "the world," it usually means the "world system." This is the fallen, sin-soaked attitude of humanity, which rejects God and opposes His wisdom. Later in this letter, James will describe worldly wisdom as bitter envy and selfish ambition. To be unstained by the world means that we refuse to be driven by our own appetites and desires and selfish goals. It means not compromising with a system that hates God. Just as James pointed out in James 1:5–8, the world's wisdom is not like God's.

With this, James is also implying that it's very difficult to practice pure and undefiled religion before God…unless we see some serious changes inside of us. Merely planning to follow the right list of regulations is not enough.

Context Summary
James 1:19–27 emphasizes that those who truly trust God don't settle for merely appearing religious. They give up trying to control the world with their words and their anger. They humbly receive the Word God has planted in them, listen to it, and proceed to do what it says. Part of what the Word says to us is that we should keep control over our words, to care for those who are weak and suffering, and to keep ourselves from being polluted by the world around us.

Satan66:

"They a survived"
God is good!
"23 people died including 4 children but 1 prayer closet survived "
It's not God's work!
HYPOCRITE

You don't get.

23 people wouldn't have died if God's hand was there.

Please God's hands is not here. God's work is perfect. He would rather let the house stand cos of that room. He'll let the town be safe for the sake of that room.

God's hand isn't here period.

Just pay tithe you'll be alright.

In the world. In The world.

Denominations arise because of opinions.

Opinions means what I feel. Opinions could be wrong. Opinion leads to religion and denominations. I'm right you're wrong.

Cain had an opinion on how he could give sacrifices and he was rejected because he didn't do what God wants.

My personal self have refused to belong to any denomination.

You have done yours for God you should be happy.

Ratello:


Thank you my brother I don't think many even voted in the first place because if they do no one will be confused as per the results gotten from each polling units and centres nationwide are all stored directly in INEC's server the essence of manual presentation of papers is to show proof of voting, updates on what transpired at the polling units, number of votes cancelled, those who finger prints could not be read by the card reader and other attendants issues. This is top notch strategy from Atiku's legal team.

Card reader is to verify voters. It's not electronic voting.
