Perhaps the leaders of the party never gave it a thought. That can greatly militate against its success, if not corrected. |

World leaders meeting for the final day of the G20 summit in Russia remain divided over military action in Syria. Italian PM Enrico Letta said the splits in opinion were confirmed at Thursday's working dinner in St Petersburg. A spokesman for the Russian presidency said a US military strike on Syria would "drive another nail into the coffin of international law". At the UN, the US ambassador accused Russia of holding the Security Council hostage by blocking resolutions. Samantha Power said the Security Council was no longer a "viable path" for holding Syria accountable for war crimes. The US government accuses President Bashar al-Assad's forces of killing 1,429 people in a poison- gas attack in the Damascus suburbs on 21 August. The UK says scientists at the Porton Down research laboratories have found traces of sarin gas on cloth and soil samples. But Mr Assad has blamed rebels for the attack. China and Russia, which have refused to agree to a Security Council resolution against Syria, insist any action without the UN would be illegal. The US and France are the only nations at the G20 summit to commit to using force in Syria. The United Nations says it needs another $3.3bn (£2bn) to deal with the Syrian refugee crisis up to the end of this year. 'Divisions confirmed' Ms Power told a news conference in New York: "Even in the wake of the flagrant shattering of the international norm against chemical weapons use, Russia continues to hold the council hostage and shirk its international responsibilities. "What we have learned, what the Syrian people have learned, is that the Security Council the world needs to deal with this crisis is not the Security Council we have." US President Barack Obama is thought to be trying at the G20 summit to build an international coalition to back strikes against military targets in Syria. But differences of opinion became obvious when world leaders - including Mr Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin - discussed Syria over dinner on Thursday evening. The Italian prime minister said in a tweet that "the G20 has just now finished the dinner session, at which the divisions about Syria were confirmed". President Putin's press spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said after the dinner that the G20 was split down the middle, with some countries seeking hasty action and others wanting the US to go through the UN Security Council. British sources say the leaders of France, Turkey, Canada and the UK gave strong backing to President Obama's call for military action. The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said the Turks put a "very strong argument about how the world must respond to the use of chemical weapons". But correspondents in St Petersburg say opponents of US military intervention appear to far outnumber supporters within the G20. And the BBC's Bridget Kendall says the views of the G20 leaders on any US action could be the least of Mr Obama's worries, as his real difficulties might lie back in the US. President Obama was nearly an hour late for Thursday's G20 dinner. His aides said he had been trying to find time during the summit to call US members of Congress, who are due to vote next week on whether to back Mr Obama's call for a military strike. Mr Obama also cancelled a trip to California on Monday in order to lobby Congress, as a poll commissioned by the BBC and ABC News suggested more than one-third of Congress members were undecided whether or not to back military action. A majority of those who had made a decision said they would vote against the president. Syria's parliamentary speaker has written to the speaker of the House of Representatives urging members not to rush into an "irresponsible, reckless action". Aid for Syria The United Nations is appealing for more aid for the estimated two million Syrians who have fled their country. Another 4.25 million are internally displaced. The UN humanitarian chief, Valerie Amos, told the BBC that donor countries should "look again" at their contributions and be "as generous as they can". UK Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Friday that the UK would give an additional £52m ($ 80m) in aid for Syria - much of which will go towards medical training and equipment to help civilians targeted by chemical attacks. Some analysts say Mr Cameron has been sidelined at the summit because the UK parliament has already voted against military strikes. A senior Russian aide reportedly dismissed Britain as "just a small island: no-one pays any attention to them" - comments later denied by Mr Peskov. Meanwhile, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev told the BBC that Mr Obama and Mr Putin should meet in order to find a solution to the Syrian conflict. "They must strike up a conversation that will lead to the improvement of relations and stop the things which are happening now," he said. The Assad regime has been accused of using chemical weapons against Syrian civilians on several occasions during the 30- month conflict. Some 100,000 people have died in the two-and-a-half- year-old conflict, according to the UN. |

[quote author=frank3.16]^^^^ What killed the man of God? Sickness or accident? How i wish he could have prayed to save his life. Pls how do u feel knowing the man who healed u from a simpler tin as eye problem, couldnt save himself from a bigger tin as death? And pls dont give me that God took him crap, because last time i checked God does nt kill people or does he?[/quote]Death is inevitable 2 all. Mind u, I never said d MoG healed me. He only prayed 4 me and God did d perfection of His work. The fact dat one is bn used by God 2 wrought miracles does not immune dat fellow from death. by d way, hav u ever heard of Joseph Ayo Babalola and Prophet T. O. Obadare? They were great and true men of God and He really used them. 2day, they are no more. Dont 4get, it will come knocking on ur door one day. D big question is: WHERE WILL U SPEND UR ETERNITY? just a food 4 thought. |
This issue of Miracle Healing has been bastardly abused by many socalled "miracle workers" for one selfish reason or the other. This been said though, it still hasn't reduce the efficacy of God's genuine miracle healings. Some years back, I used to experience serious eyes pains which impeded me from seeing clearly, though My Dad took me to several Hospitals then, but all effort was to no avail. so I was given some herbals which were meant to mollify the pains i was experiencing alongside. There's this Town in Edo State called Okpella where they observe an annual Christian program (Okpella for Christ) which I attended in 1996. it was held at Ogute-Oke Secondary School that year. During one of the ministerations, one of the ministers made reference to my case. The description he gave was as if he was aware of my condition. He specifically said these words: "This alter-call is for just one person". Even at that, about six of us came out for the prayers. When he got to me, as he placed his hands on my face and screemed "In Jesus' Name", it was as if a mask was been forcefully pilled of my face. I struggled to open my eyes but couldn't. I couldn't even listen to the rest of the prayer but once he shouted "In Jesus name I pray" and was removing his hands, it was as if some particles droped off my eyes. That was it. I can tell you that after that inccidence, I have never experienced any form of eyes problem again. Some years later, I heard the Man of God is late. So I am using this oportunity to say these words: "Rest in Peace, Pastor Peter Igbadumeh". |
dplomaticVal: potential terroristRead d post again. He's Edolite, not a Northerner. |
it baffles me how islam makes some people to reason. must u 'pray' in d middle of d road to prove a point? what den happens to ur mosques, pray grounds or homes? As far as I am concerned, it is an act of insubordination and provocation and as such, should be decisively treated before they turn dat country to Somalia or Egypt. btw, who told u Majority of Ethiopians are muslims? 'Ogbeni' go back to secondary schools Geography. |
Dreal1247: Pray for God to open your eyes and also to help you effect the change if necessary. I learnt from one of the confessions that when Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola stopped earrings, that was the year that many people made heaven. If God does not want it, why not let go of it. After all, whatsoever one cannot forgo for God's sake is considered idol or another god. The Lord God will surely see us through.Hebrews 12:2 "Looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God". Pls point to me anywhere in The Holy Bible to support ur claim. Personally I am not against visions. but know it dat some visions are for individuals. God could giv it for specific reason for such individual. It doesn't mean others will be judge base on it. it is therefore wrong to weigh othets by d standard of such visions and keeping aside the main yardstick (The Holy Bible) which God is going to assess us all. By d way, what do u make of these: Proverbs 25:12 "As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear". ? |
Where in d Holy Bible were we taught anything dat is against earrings? Job was said to be a perfect and upright man before God. JOB1:1 Yet when God was.to restore him, EARRING OF GOLD was among the presents he was given. Job 42:11 Did u ever wonder what he did with them? ask me and I.will tell u. Are we supposed to kno The Bible.more than The Almighty God that gave it? Well this is my opinion: moderation is what the Holy Bible asked us to apply in everything we do. |

THE strange powers of a full moon have been proved by scientists. By: Tom Morgan They say it ruins a good night’s sleep – cutting the time we are slumbering by 20 minutes and reducing deep sleep by nearly a third. Many people claim a full moon makes them restless. It has been linked to higher crime rates owing to its gravitational pull, causing a rush of blood to the head. Now scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland have connected lunar cycles and sleep behaviour in a study of 30 people. This is the first reliable evidence that lunar rhythm can modulate sleep structure Professor Christian Cajochen The findings, in the journal Current Biology, suggested that around a full moon, volunteers took five minutes longer to drop off, felt their sleep was poorer and dozed for 20 minutes less. Their blood had less melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles. The university’s Professor Christian Cajochen said: “This is the first reliable evidence that lunar rhythm can modulate sleep structure.” http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/417557/Slept-badly-Blame-it-on-the-full-moon |

Iruolycious: Now, we all know the Bible didn't say women shouldn't wear trousers. You might want to ask if the Bible mentioned that smoking or exam malpractice or masturbation or watching porn is a sin but the truth is, they are completely different things. As per trousers, just like jerseys and shirts and polo's and face caps, they are unisex. It is however pertinent to note that trousers 4 men and those for women are not exactaly thesame. We all know that a guy cannot wear the kind of trousers ladies wear. A guy was once mocked 4 wearing ladies' trousers. Both men and women wear gowns and nobdy makes a noise abt it. Some pastors even wear gowns in church but nobody condemns them. Don't defend! A gown is a gown. Now, abt smoking, we all agree that it is bad 4 d health and whatever does more harm than good to d body should be avoided. As per exam-mal practice, it is a shameful thng and not only that, it is irresponsible. Masturbation, furthers lust. Now, these things were not mentioned in the Bible but the Holyspirit helps us to know good from bad. Anythng that was not called sinful or that was not mentioned in the Bible is now left to d Holyspirit to tell us whether it is sin or not. So many pple do not even give the Holyspirit a chance. They just go right ahead and create their own idea of righteousness. The Bible doesn't condemn wearing trousers and if the Holyspirit in you doesn't condemn you, do not let any man judge you for they don't even know what the righteousness of God is about. Somebdy asked if Mary wore trousers but then, did mary also wear jean skirts and jackets? The Bible said a time will come when the law will b in our hearts and then nobdy will need to tell us what is or isnt sin anymore. The time is now. The Holyspirit is there 4 every born again christian and it is the Holyspirit in u that will guide you not to abuse wearing of trousers. I am personally sick of people trying to add to the Bible. It is sin. Don't quote Deut. 22.5 out of contex and include trousers, please. Sayin smthng isnt decent is diffrnt frm sayin d Bible says such a thng is sin. Let the Holyspirit in you lead and not ignorant modern day pharisees. Lets learn to read the Bible with understanding. A woman shouldnt wear what partaineth to a man doesn't mean she shouldn't wear trousers. Trousers don't partain to men. The Bible even sais "What partaineth unto a man" and not "what partaineth unto men". It means different thngs. If u must follow Deut. 22.5 then u must not wear anythng that blongs to a boy. Don't wear ur brothers thngs. Face cap, wrist watch, sweaters, slippers e.t.c. Don't wear what a male bought personally for himself. Your trouser doesnt partain to any man. Sorry abt the length. Let d holyspirit tell u wat is sin and not any1 else.It cann't be said better than this. God will increase u in wisdom and understanding. SHALOM. |
Emperor4God: D'Banj goes to church and denied to his pastor that he is a member, giving the impression he is a Christian.This allegation is only raising dust because he's a celebrity. There are countless piple who claim to be christians, yet dere r skeletons in their cupboard. My point is dis: christianity shud not be dragged in d mud simply because 1 Churchgoer has erred. |
oglipaul: unlike other scripture which has so many contradictions and descrepancirs,error,absurdity,alhamdullilah.the quran is free from errors etc.the most purest and preserved book on earth is the quranI kno u laughed at urself after typing dis. do u mean u do not understand what contradictions and "descrepancirs" are? if u do, then u will understand that u r swimming in it right now; and the need for u to run for safety. PEACE. |

These verses of The Holy Bible will help: Ecclesiastes 12:13 This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. Deuteronomy 32:29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! John 14:5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we know the way?" John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Hebrews 12:2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. |
so what has his alleged action got to do wit Christianity? |

sarutobie: Came across that chapter sometime last year..but in verse 19,what did the bible mean by saying 'it ranked first among the works of God'? Any idea?Perhaps it means the said crature was one of the first set of aniimals that went into extintion. who knows? One of d things i know abt the Holy Bible is that it will not mention a name or and occurence when there is no reason for it. Another is that most of the stories sorrounding dinossaurs (except that they truly existed at a point in time), are all based on assmptions which any new discovery tommorrow could alter, but the Holy Scripture says: " Psalms 119:89 Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever" . Yet another thing I know is dat there are more questions in dis life dan answers. These answers can only be revealed by God thru His Word. Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. SHALOM |
He also made some negative comments on the personality of our Lord Jesus ChristWhat negative comment will an idol worshipper make about Our Lord Jesus that will be rellevant? One thing I hav come to understand is that muslims tend to place Islam on the ladder of Christianity in order to attain rellevance. Come to think of it, most things they do are copied from Christian, yet a socalled scholar wil open his mouth and say negative tins abt the Prophet they claim their quran respects. |
