Ihedinobi3: Regarding your question, God sent Jesus to come and die for our sins because sin must be paid for...
For example, if someone were to rape your infant daughter to death, I am pretty sure that you would not consider forgiveness to be the right answer or response to the crime even if the rapist were to apologize for it.
Sin is disobedience to God, a violation of His Will... That abuse must be paid for or else God would not be just. An unjust God is an impossibility. A God Who is unjust is imperfect.
However, God is also merciful by nature
Since God is both loving and just, He must forgive sinners while punishing sin.
Therefore, God provided a bridge, a sacrifice in the Person of Jesus Christ Who Himself is God
As Man He could legally bear the responsibility for man's crimes against God. making it unnecessary for God to punish (Man) the rest of His brothers and sisters for said crimes
Bros, read what you wrote above and see the incongruency of it all.
God must punish sin to be just... So he takes on flesh to punishes himself so man's sins (which are now his brothers) will be given perpetual amnesty for raping a child)
I understand the confusion, as I said, so many half thought through notions were compiled to make up a religion marketable to the larger society (gentiles/ Non jews).
The Roman empire created what you know as Christianity.
God exists out of space, time, emotional attachment that besets human intellect.
There's nothing a man can do that God hasn't already seen before...
Example 1. While new parents may get exasperated at the antics of growing kids, it is not the same for grand parents or great-grand parents who would've seen it all.
Example 2. Imagine the creator of a piece of machinery eg. Daimler's Benz or Bill gates Microsoft. Can there be any operational function or malfunction that'll make the manufacturer angry or frustrated?
FirstSon01: so jesus's dieing on the cross was out of pure hardluck and not Divine to save men from sin as y'all say??
Exactly... The mission of Jesus did not include death for any sins. That is unscriptural.
Even Jesus never taught so, not him, nor his disciples.
Read through the sermon of Peter after the Pentecost carefully, no such thing was taught. But repent of your evil ways and ye will be saved.
Paul taught this heresy in order to make people remain in their evil ways.
Paul deceptively taught "believe his death has washed away your sins and you're good to go". Notice why the entire Christian religion is full of hypocrites; holy on Sunday, sinners the rest of the week.
Well, If it's a real story my advice to you is simple but solves all your problems. 1. Have s3x with your boyfriend this week. Break the barrier. At least he deserves that prize. 2. Have your romp with this new guy for as long as you'll both get tired of each other. (I'm thinking 1 or 2 weeks) 3. After it's over and your eye don clear from this new boy, fall back to your boyfriend. Now you've gained the experience
favor914: That’s a lie, a Court room to FFK is like a piece of cake, if he was to represent you in a suit and the chances were even, you have a high percentage of winning, the man is Cambridge trained, he is a master of law, it runs in his blood, it comes naturally to him from his Father.
And yet there's no record of FFKs name ever appearing in any law reporrt or practicing law in this country? Not everyone called Lawyer can actually handle litigation.
I don't know if anyone else heard the girl say with a statement of finality "There's nothing between us again, Stop It!".
The story is skewed just to bash the kneel-down-&-propose trend.
Clearly the guy messed up in the past and the girl called it off. The guy In a desperate move hastened to buy a ring and thought the stunt will work to get her back.
Ambassadors: I have worked somewhere before didn't collect contract or appointment letter and the job I did was to fetch me about 3 million. Till today I haven't been paid. I couldn't approach the court since I don't have an appointment letter that's how bad it is.
You still can. though it is tricky. Provided you can show evidence of working there: vouchers /reports you prepared, contracts you signed for on behalf of the form, and evidence of previous payment eg bank alerts etc. Don't let any greedy Shylock go with your money without putting up a fight...
PS. Don't forget to add another 5 Million for General damages and another 2 million for specific damages (this is to cover the cost of litigation).
nobone: I just resumed a job in January, and the director insists on not giving appointment letter. In her words "don't you know appointment letter is an agreement" she hires and fires at will. The pay isn't even fantastic, not up to half of what I was earning in my previous job. I just tire. The annoying thing is that within the short period I've worked, they've seen what I can do. I know the job even more than they that employed me. I am also working with my heart like say na MY father company. It is well.
That's a grave mistake you're making. Pls WORK AT A LEVEL COMMENSURATE TO WHAT YOU'RE PAID! It's a lesson I learnt the hard way.
You don't know the job better than the other staff. They just know this RULE which no one has explained to you.
If you continue, you may end up being set up and booted out unceremoniously. You may not even get paid for the work you've done.
Being from the Niger Delta but attended primary and junior secondary school in Northern Nigeria (Maiduguri/Bauchi), I can tell you for free that no two of my results bore the same name...
The teachers / Examiners just wrote whatever they deemed my name was.
Sad but true.. observe the current trend if yahoo and compare to the movies and music of ten to twenty years ago and you know why there is so much yahoo and prostitution in the society.
We promoted a movie culture of easy money and soft work.
Nigeria as it is constituted appears to be a joke. Regional governance of independent federating units will be the only solution to this false country we call Nigeria
Jeffmonti: [b][/b]Good morning, thanks for all your advices. Somehow i couldn’t modify the original post but here is an update;
I was able to reach Lola yesterday on the phone, tendered my apologies on how i reacted and how things has turned out thus far, she even agreed to meet within the week for me to see her bulging stomach. Her stance was that she took the 100k to take care of herself and the pregnancy, registered for anti-natal and other necessary health obligations if that was she’s going to get from me.
She said she was never going to bother me until she has put to birth and i didn’t show up or show interest all through the period before delivery then i would have seen real madness.
Also she said her boyfriend left as she couldn’t hide the pregnancy from him and if i think this is going to cost me my relationship then i shouldn’t tell my girlfriend about it just yet as she (Lola) has not intentions of forcing marriage on me because she’s not a desperado (in her own words; she cannot manage a man so she do not want any man to manage her out of pity of situation of things to avoid domestic violence later on) so i should go ahead and marry my girlfriend.
She said she has had many disappointments in her life and this to her is a blessing, the child is her blessing and that if everybody leaves, her child is not going to leave her and many other emotional talk... (i only happen to be the scapegoat who fulfilled her cravings) She claimed she has lost many things due to this pregnancy and disappointed a lot of people, family members included but she’s going to have the child anyway. She’s even suggesting that i should tell my gf she’s a fraud that she’s trying so hard to pin this on me until i blew her cover, that’s if i already told her before. That i would not understand why it’s important that she must have the child (apparently, pastor don tell her somethings because she like church well well)
I have agreed to show minimal timely or monthly support until she delivers and carry out a DNA test, if the child is mine I’ll pay child support to the best of my ability and be in the child’s life.
As for my girlfriend i was going to marry her in August, but i have cut that out, i already to spoke an elderly family friend of ours, one she respected very well. I will break the news to her within the coming weeks (after i have seen Lola and the extend of their pregnancy) and seek forgiveness. I will see whatever comes out of it as my fate, i probably deserve it.
For those other advises; Lola is not an option for me to marry given all that has happened, If Bae leaves of which i am having a 90% chance she will. I will spend the next couple years focusing on my career and providing for a child.
So i was thinking of informing my father, who’s my girlfriend biggest fan called him yesterday but i couldn’t even bring myself to tell him unto disappointment thing, plus i am an only son. If i tell my mom everything go just scatter, she will make trouble.
For those that think this is fictional, it isn’t. Some people make mistakes for others to learn as i have learnt from other people’s mistakes on other aspects of life. Hopefully someone will learn from mine.
Thanks again for all your words. I will keep you posted as things progresses.
This is the SCAM I'm talking about...
She has moved to stage 3 , child support... It was a mistake to have called her.
Wash your hands of her completely. Else you will pay till you die.
Marvins0009: Bro tell her the truth and if she broke up with you move on with your life it’s better to to tell her the truth than keeping that secret but come to think of it you don’t love the girl really much if you do you won’t cheat on her you don’t love someone out of pity because she is a good girl free pussy done do you now
FOR ALL OF YOU SAYING "TELL THE GIRLFRIEND THE TRUTH AND MAYBE SHE WILL FORGIVE HIM" CLEARLY DONT KNOW WOMEN.
SHE WILL WALK AWAY AND THAT'S IT!
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW SCARCE GOOD WOMEN ARE JUST GO ON INSTAGRAM AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE?
MR MAN, THAT LOLA GIRL SET YOU UP FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
NO GIRL PAST AGE 20 GETS PREGNANT UNLESS SHE WANTS TO.
EVEN WHEN MISTAKES HAPPEN, THEY ARE QUICK TO CORRECT IT.
A subject of pressing, and urgent, importance, and necessity, has presented itself. And it has to do with the systematic and instalmental, harassment, intimidation, degradation and denudation of our dear beloved Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
After this point I really really struggled to get to the end. Imagine Mr. Dele Momodu ! When did Prof. Osibanjo become dear to you. Na wa o.
Tofchen: Well, as for me a Criminologist, the pattern of Punishments is suppose to tally with the structure and social life of the society where it is applied. Death roll I the best option for Nigeria looking at the precedence of terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape amongst others. You shouldn't send a man that killed 50+ people to jail. The main purpose of Punishment in the criminal justice system of to deter other intending criminals from engaging in to that same act. The more severe the punishment, the more laws are followed.
An African who sees the picture clearly. Thank you for this
SEGLIZ: in support of what you've said the office of the Anthony General and the Justice Minister should split then this role be handed to bare, by so doing the public office holders would face governance squarely. those uncharge of dissemination of judgement do it in totality.
I agree with you. Let the minister of justice perform that task. Since he is an appointee of the executive and also a part of the justice system.
Afterall the Attorney General has the powers of Nole prosequi. (The power to decline to prosecute, which is considered the power to give life. ) So he ought to wield similar power (of death).
Darkseid: For me, I don't see death as a punishment. When you kill someone it's the family that suffers it, a dead man has no feelings. A lifetime punishment is always the best, that way the person gets to suffer till death comes.
Actually, death is the only thing the African Negro is scared of.
That's why he'll rather enter a slave ship than be slaughtered. That's why he'll rather endure bad leadership than be gunned down by anti-riot Police and Soldiers That's why he'll obediently lie down while his wife is raped by a dirty rascal.
I say again. Death will and has always been the African society's punishment for wrongful acts and it kept the society safe and sane until oyibo cams with laws that make the criminal a victim to be protected and pampered
Death by execution is the only thing Africa needs to end this trend of backwardness
Also include corrupt practices to the list of capital offences.
A quick surgical death.
Then harvest all internal organs to a bank for donation to those in need. That'll be the criminal's way of compensation for his crimes against the state.
It'll provide a better reason and for the state to be feeding them for free. With this option, the state will have very good reason to feed them better. More like fattening rooms, VIP treatment before final execution to ensure the organs will be healthy and viable.
In the context the president used the word merge, I agree with him.
As usual very few read the body.
It is only postings like the NYSC, Police, Army etc that will make a southern born kid to ever visit a place like Gereng, Gubio, Michika, potiskum, Pasham etc
If not for NYSC, what will make you an Easterner go to igboora, and live there with the people, interacting, eating their food and even bedding their women.
Please do us the honors to remind the 'marauding Fulani fool' yourself. If its too far from you, your govermnet house is also a good option.
Be reminded that the one whom you claim stole mandate won the last elections in which your mad-man-turned-activist and the cumin one participated and lost squarely.
Let me even ask you, honestly, did you vote in the last elections? Because in a country of 200 million people only about 25 million people actually came out to vote.
And you talk of stolen mandate? What were you expecting?
