Are which people? I'm not from the South East, but sensible enough to call out your nonsense churned out of ignorance and tribalism. Your people are suffering. Misplaced priority.

My people of suffering from what.
Economic wise we are the best.
Political wise we are indispensible.
Population wise we are highly ranked.
Behavioral wise our culture is impeccable.

Analyze all areas of life and you will always see us at the top.

Ever green without water?

How ?

Abi it's those who came to hustle that seize the water?

So, what do we drink after meals?
Palm oil or sand?
We don't run community boreholes in SW, at least it is not common like in Ezza North where I served, because here in SW, each house has it own well, pumping machine or personal boreholes. And for few houses that do not have, others who do do supply them water.
SW is not a desert nor near a desert. How would you think such an environment will experience drought or lack of water.
Open you brains na.

BondRiv:
Came to hustle ke. Keep living in denial. The truth is that a significant number of people in this country are living in poverty. Most of those people are the indigenes. Last time a UK rapper referenced the begging at the Island.

Are you people not coming to the West on a daily basis to seek for greener pasture?
It's like Nigerians saying that UK is the worst country but they can't stop seeking greener pasture there. I hope you can connect the dots between the East and the West in that analogy. West is this and that but all statistics and una hustle to come here on a daily prove otherwise.

I don’t blame you,most of us who have traveled to different parts of the country know that aside From North East the next place you will see people living in abject poverty is South West,when I say abject poverty I mean the kind that doesn’t have hope.
No kind of sugar coasting or self deceit can fix that

Is just like Nigerians saying that America is the worst country in the world and they can't stop going there to seek greener pasture. Is that not Ironic?
I hope you can connect that analogy between the South East and the South West. South West is worst they say but can't stop coming in droves to seek greener pasture they can't get in their region.

Arda1000:
tell that to people who have never left Ogbomosho ;.
Look around you?
Go to your stinking ghettos then enter motor and tour around South East and you will see how you shamelessly lie to yourself

Its just like telling an American to come to Nigeria to witness another kind of good life. Is that not ironic?
How will someone live Ogbomosho and go to Afikpo. Why? When people from all over the East are coming to Ogbomosho to seek greener pasture.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

Arda1000:
why do you guys like to lie to yourselves.
South West minus lagos is on par with North East on poverty rate if not more.

Na me do the post?
Na me put south east for the worst poverty ravaged zone in the south?

Ondo state has the least poverty rate in Nigeria. Go and VERIFY.
Is Ondo also Lagos? Abi no Be South West again?

No Be Juju Juju Be Dat?

South West is evergreen.
Note:.
The larger part of the 12% poverty are people who came to hustle in the south West.

God's holy spirit don't teach individuals what should be concluded upon by His organized worshipers otherwise each person will claim it's holy spirit that's directing him or her and confusion will take over. 1Corinthans 14:33, 40

God's holy spirit is a force that moves all believers towards the same direction in the face of no written document that's why Paul said:

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. ‭2Corinthians 3:6 NIV‬

God's holy spirit unite worshipers for the work of salvation so if they decided to forbid gambling among them and you choose to be a gambler it means you are not in the same SPIRIT with the body of Christ! Ephesians 5:23

That's what God promised His worshipers saying in our time He will write His laws in our hearts {Jeremiah 31:33} so if all the churches in the world speaks in agreement regarding gambling but you choose to be a gambler ọmọ Ọ̀yọ́ lo wà!🙂


Smoking, hard drugs, age at which girls should get married.
All these are not written anywhere in the Bible but you can allow your daughter or son to smoke and use hard drugs even let your daughter marry if she chooses to follow a man at the age of fifteen because she has grown big.
After all there are no word for word instructions on these things!

If I decide to marry an 11 year old girl. It is not a sin bro. Show me that it is. But it becomes criminal because the law of THE NATION, not of God does not permit it. If the Nigerian law permitted it, then it is not a sin neither a crime. Australian just became the first country to ban people under the age of 16 from having social media. It has become a crime in that nation but not in Nigeria. Does that mean that Australian teenagers have committed sin against God of the use social media? But it has now become a national crime.
It only becomes a crime because the nation's law did not permit it and not that because God is against it.
The is a difference between the NATIONS CONSTITUTION AND GOD'S WORD.

DID THE BIBLE STATE ANY PARTICULAR AGE FOR MARRIAGE? I CAN EVEN MARRY SOMEONE BORN TODAY THROUGH BETROTHAL AND MARRY HER OFFICIALLY AT THE AGE CONSENTED TO BY HER FATHER OR FATHER FIGURE (IF THE CONSTITUTION PERMITS)

MARRIAGE IS A CULTURAL THING, NOT A SPIRITUAL THING. 100% CULTURAL.

After all there are no word for word instructions on these things!

Bringing smoking and hard drugs into the discussion is a very shallow thinking. You know why?
The scriptures do not condemn smoking and hard drugs. Jesus said "What goes into a man does not condemn a man, but what comes out of him (either words or thoughts). Matthew 15:11.
Do you know why the scriptures do not condemn smoking and hard drugs?
Because the elements that made up hard drugs are also available in our medications. Most of our medications contains cocaine, marijuana etc because of their medical benefits. If the Bible condemns it, it shows that we will have to run away from medication because ones the Bible condemns something, it doesn't matter the quantity, it stands condemned. The writers of the scriptures are not as myopic as you.
Now to Hard drugs.
Taking of hard drugs without Doctors' or experts' prescription (dosages involved) carries health consequences and not spiritual consequences. Now here is the spiritual consequences. If you take hard drugs just like taking TOO MUCH of ALCOHOL and it influenced our thoughts and actions to commit sin stated in scriptures, then it carried a spiritual consequence. Do you understand now.
A medical expert may tell me to stop taking Garri or that I should caution its intake. It doesn't mean that Garri intake is generally bad but if I disobey, it may carry health consequences.
VERDICT
The taking of HARD DRUGS is not a sin because we are taken it in medications for health benefits.
But
1. Taking such drugs without prescription or overdose will have health consequences.
2. Taking such drugs MAY have spiritual consequences IF it influences our thoughts or actions to commit SIN clearly STATED IN SCRIPTURES.

Look at this one. Quoting 2 Corinthians 3:6 out of context. Lol. What was the meaning of 'the letter' according to the passage. You think say na handwritten messages or scriptures? Funny.
Guy, it means 'the law of Moses' kills but the New covenant which is the spirit of life gives life. Go and sit down and read 2 Corinthians and Hebrews and understand what 'the letter' means."
Let me quote the next two verses from your 2 Corinthians 3:6 for you:
2 Corinthians 3:6-9
[6]He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.
[7]The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away.
[8]Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life?
[9]If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God!

Also quoting Jeremiah 31:33 out of context.
The Holy Spirit is the New law written in our hearts as evident by 2 Corinthians and Hebrews. The job of the holy Spirit is not to teach us 'new things' but to bring the teachings of Jesus to our 'remembrance.'
Do you understand the meaning of remembrance? It mean for you to remember something, it must have first been communicated to your either through spoken words or written words.
The Holy Spirit brings the scriptures to our remembrance, he doesn't cook up new things outside the confines of the scriptures which is our constitution.

GO AND LEARN OGA. AND STOP QUOTING SCRIPTURES OUT OF CONTEXT. GO AND SIT AND READ THE WHOLE BOOK TO UNDERSTAND THE USAGE OF EACH VERSE AND WORD.

MaxInDHouse:
There has always been and there will always be additional instructions when a new challenge comes up against God's people that's why Jesus said holy spirit will teach his Apostles what to do since they are taking the lead. John 16:12-13

God's word is like a double edged sword {Hebrews 4:12} so i know why you keep saying it's juju as it's biting really hard into your conscience you can't let go yet you feel i must not talk about the matter again.

I have the holy Spirit, not conscience. Conscience is influenced by environmental factors, holy Spirit is influenced by the word of God, not outside the word.
There must be no addition to the word. The word of God is enough and complete.
Tell me one thing you will like to add that the scriptures has not addressed? Tell me the new development that the scriptures did not envisage. Oya give examples.

Am I a mod?
Does the Bible teaches us false allegation? Please wat does the Bible say about false allegation?

MaxInDHouse:
Whoever doesn't submit to any school of thought is regarded as a worker of lawlessness before Christ {Matthew 7:21-23} that's what you are claiming right now self righteousness. Isaiah 64:6
It would have been better if you don't come here to speak against the churches whatever judgement you pass across to them is the same God will use for you! Matthew 7:1-5🙂

Lol...see you.
School of thought? That is heresy.
There is not other school of thought order than what is clearly written in the scriptures. Any school of thought that negates that is heresy.
The Bible never said anything against gambling and that is the thoughts of the writers of the scriptures, any addition is a school of thought that can be classified as heretic.
Simplito.

MaxInDHouse:
Join any church where gambling is approved nah!

I need you to tell me before.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

MaxInDHouse:
If you refuse to accept what the church concluded upon regarding gambling today surely you won't accept either Jesus or his Apostles because they taught so many things that's not written word for word in the Old Testament.
So listen and learn the workers of iniquity Jesus is talking about @ Matthew 7:21-23 means individuals who will not welcome rules agreed upon by the church of Christ {3John :9} yet claiming they are his disciples.
For instance many like you chose to be disobedient to those taking the lead in the first century the Apostles and Elders of the church called them sons of disobedience {Ephesians 5:6} Paul told all members of the church to stop talking to such individuals {Romans 16:17} Apostle John said we shouldn't even greet them {2John 10-11} and Jude called them animals! Jude 19
So if you wish to stay alone without associating with any church that's your own problem {Hebrews 10:24-25} but know that all those kicking against God's prophets in Bible times and today have just one reason:

"They must show us where it is written in the scriptures"

Even though they can see that there is no organized group of worshipers that's approving what they choose to do they will stubbornly continue deceiving themselves with false reasoning. James 1:22

You will continue to be tormented if you are still quoting me on this matter because i won't stop responding with powerful scriptures whether you like it or not the church of Christ forbids gambling!🙂

Which church agreed to that? When and where was the sitting and agreement made?
Anything not in the scriptures is just an opinion. The scriptures is the constitution of the believer and it is rigid that it cannot be amended again.
DO YOU WANT TO ADD OR SUBTRACT FROM THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH OR THE WRITERS ARE NOT WISE ENOUGH TO LEAVE SOMETHINGS OUT.
Simplito.

With your repeatings, it is clear that the cuss of m@)dness has fallen on top of you for the thread shows that about 4 times I proved that gambling is stealing and stealing is a sin, yet you repeat everything you have said before whenever you cannot counter. Men, you are cussd

You proved? Are you the Bible?
Use Bible to prove that gambling is stealing na.
Why e difficult for you to use the Bible.

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus said to those who will take the lead in his group:

“I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come." John 16:12-13

So if all elders in the church of Christ has agreed upon a matter and sent words to all congregations {Act 15:22-29} whoever fails to hid the counsel by the spirit is no longer a member of Christ's family, they have bound it both in heaven and on earth that gambling is disapproved among God's people therefore go and attend any church that approves gambling for you. As for keeping quiet you can't decide for anyone here as you are not the one who asked the question it's a person who wishes to know what the Bible says on the matter and i have told him that gamblers are worshipers of Fortuna goddess of good luck.

Ọmọ you can worship anywhere you like if they approve gambling there but if not know today that the heavens has removed your name in the book of life for kicking against the spirit of the church! Matthew 12:31-32 compare to Matthew 18:15-17

So, gambling is one of the many things? Shey u dey play ni. Na only Jesus talk for new testament? Did Paul, Peter, John, James etc also have many things to say and all of them forgot to mention gambling as rampant as it was then as a sin?
Go chill abegi

MaxInDHouse:
Why are you so restless nah?🙂

You said it's not written in the Bible word for word and i showed you that it's not everything Jesus taught that was in the Old Testament word for word yet his disciples believe him because they saw the result of his teachings.

You said your church approved gambling i told you it's OK so continue attending the church where gambling is approved.

What else do you want?

Obviously you are worried as you lied to cover your shame but i decided to take you for your word.

Now answer this one question:

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and my church forbids gambling.

Oya what is the name of your church where gambling is approved?🙂

And I have pointed it out to you that the scriptures is our grand norm and anything outside it is just your opinion. Simplito.
Not a single verse has been quoted by you from the scriptures regarding gambling.
If you can't prove anything from the scriptures, then keep quiet. Simplito.

MaxInDHouse:
Good!
So continue attending since the elders in your church approves gambling as for those whose church elders disapproved it they should not go against the spirit of the church {Revelation 3:14} it's better to change the church than kicking against the spirit of the church of God! Matthew 12:31-32

Oga all these talk na talk.
Quote a single verse where the Bible called gambling a sin. Simplito.
Why is that difficult to answer.

Dtruthspeaker:
Digging into shame won't get you out of it. The thread already shows that since the very beginning you never could deny the stealing both you and the gambling organisers do when you both try to steal each others' money despite all the times you kept moving post and repeated yourself. And I told you since then you had nothing to valid to say. And now, after all your lies and twistings, you still find that you are still guilty of stealing when you gamble. Olē. Everyday for the thief one day for God!

Did you read the topic of the post? It say:
What does the Bible say about Gambling?

Show us from the Bible where Gambling is regarded as a sin. Simplito.

Ọmọ it's simple just find any church where the elders approve gambling and start attending if truly you believe in Jesus who arranged for Apostles and elders to govern the affairs of his disciples. Act 2:42🙂

I do not attend a church that add to wat the scriptures has stipulated.
Maybe ur own organization do some addition and subtraction as time and generation changes.
Gambling is not stated in the scriptures, so my church do not have any reason to speak for or against it.

MaxInDHouse:
This is about what elders of the church of Christ concluded upon {Matthew 18:17} that gambling is not for the children of God so if you now insist on seeing a scripture where it's written word for word when no church support it then you are like the Jewish nation that rejected Christ and his Apostles because they can't see what they said written word for word in the Old Testament!🙂

Lol.
You are already cornered.
