Religion / The Holy Spirit : Questions And Answers - Part 1. by Infomaz(m): 9:05am On May 02, 2019
QUESTION 1. WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT? BEING OR FORCE?

ANS: The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Godhead. He is as much a person as the Father and Son. He was actively involved with the Father and Son, in the creation, incarnation of Jesus and is actively involved in the redemption of mankind.

The Holy Spirit is a being. He feels love and empathy and therefore can COMFORT us. Our actions can make Him sad - grieve Him. As God knowing all, He's omniscient. (See Gen 1:2, Is 66:1, Luke 1:35, Jn 14:16-18, 1Jn 1:5-7)

QUESTION 2. WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OR FUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

ANS:
1. He convict (reprove) us of sin, righteousness and judgement. That is He tells us what we've done is bad, that it is good to do the right thing, and that God will judge us. (Jn 16:cool

2. He testify of Jesus and glorify Him in our lives. (Jn 15:26, 16:14)

3. He teaches us, lead us into all truth and helps us to remember things. (Jn 16:13)

4. He comforts us (Jn 14:16, 26. 16:14)

5. He helps us to keep God's law. (Rom 8:4)

6. He reproduces the character of God in us... Through Him we become partaker of the divine nature (Rom 8:5-6 and 9)

7. He makes us bold and fearless and give us what to say before our persecutors (Mark 13:9-11)
8. He enables us to bear fruits of righteousness. (fruits of the Spirit - Gal 5:22)

9. He blesses us with spiritual gifts (1 Cor 12:4)
10. He guarantees or seal our salvation. (Eph 1:13-14)
11. He reveals secrets to us. (Jn 16:13)

12. He fills us with POWER for witnessing (Acts 1:cool

QUESTION 3. WHAT IS BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT OR THE UNPARDONABLE SIN?

ANS:

1. When we deny the power of the Holy Spirit but instead attribute the workings of the Holy Spirit to a devilish power, we're in danger of this sin (Mark 3:28-29)

2. The perpetual, constant resisting of the drawing love of God’s Spirit, so much so that you lose the capacity to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice. The conscience becomes seared (1 Timothy 4:2). This deadly blasphemy is also called “grieving away” the Holy Spirit. Paul refers to “Grieve not the Holy Spirit, wherewith you are sealed,” meaning we can permanently grieve away the Spirit.

Eventually, a person loses the capacity to repent, and therefore cannot be saved. It is for this sin that a person cannot be forgiven, because they have rejected the Spirit that convicts of sin (John 16:cool. So if we still feel convicted of sin and have the desire to repent, then we have probably not committed the unpardonable sin. (See also Hosea 4:6, Rev 22:11)

QUESTION 4: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FRUIT AND THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

ANS:

The fruit of the Spirit are character traits that manifest in a believer's life as a result of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the person. There are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (self control). Matt 7:16, 20. Jn 15:4,5 and 8. Gal 5:22-23.

The gifts of the Spirit on the other hand, are special endowments given to the believer to help establish him or her in faith and for the edification of the Church. They include: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, different kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Rom 1:11, 1 Cor 12:4-11, 28-31.

So while fruit are character or behavioural changes in the life of the believer, gifts are spiritual endowment given to the believer to be established in the faith and to edify the church.

Part 2 continues tomorrow.

God bless.
Religion / The Forgotten Truth About The Death And Resurrection Of Jesus Christ by Infomaz(m): 5:10am On Apr 20, 2019
COPIED.
#IF_YOU_CAN_BE_HONEST_AND_SINCERE...
Pastor Michael Onyedikachi Akpa, PhD
©March 23, 2019

If you are Christians and believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (celebrated during the Easter weekend), then you should be sincere enough to appreciate the sequence of events and days involved in Luke 23:46--24:9.

(1) Christ was crucified and died on the #Preparation_Day (Luke 23:46-55, especially v. 54).

We celebrate this on #Good_Friday.

(2) Jesus resurrected from the grave on the #First_Day_of_the_Week (Luke 24:1-9, especially v. 1).

We celebrate this on #Easter_Sunday.

(3) The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is #Saturday.

This is called the #Sabbath_Day in the storyline (Luke 23:56).

#SPECIAL_NOTES:

(a) When they buried Christ in the tomb on the *Preparation Day* #Friday (Luke 23:53), the *Sabbath* #Saturday was approaching (Luke 23:54).

(b) On the *Sabbath day,* #Saturday the disciples and the women #RESTED in obedience to the Commandment (Luke 23:56).

The #Commandment here clearly refers to the one in Exodus 20:8-11; Leviticus 23:3; Deuteronomy 5:12-15.

(c) Early in the *First Day of the week* #Sunday, they resumed work according to God's commandment (Exodus 20:9-11; Genesis 1:1--2:4) and came to the tomb to complete the process they abandoned on Friday at sunset because the Sabbath had set in (Luke 24:1).

(d) Observe that even the disciples did not rationalize the burial of our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead, they obeyed God and rested on the Sabbath day (Saturday) from what many of us today would have called #sacred_duty - burying our Lord.

The #Seventh_day_Sabbath of the Lord was changed from Saturday to Sunday by man, not by God (Daniel 7:25).

God has made Himself clear enough in the Bible that no one has any excuse (Roman's 1:20).

As God told John SEVEN TIMES, #whoever_has_an_ear, let him hear (Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22).

Religion / Who Do You Look Up To? by Infomaz(m): 4:17pm On Nov 18, 2018
"Satan is constantly endeavoring to attract attention to man in place of God. He leads the people to look to Bishops, to Pastors, to Professors of theology as their guides, instead of searching the scriptures to learn their duty for themselves.

Then by controlling the minds of these leaders, he can influence the multitudes according to his will. " G. C. Page 595
Religion / Re: ''Jesus Death'' Ended The Law, Nailing It To His Cross... Including Tithe by Infomaz(m): 11:19am On Nov 11, 2018
What exactly do you mean? Are you saying that since Jesus death 'abolished ' the law, it is now okay to steal, lie, commit adultery, but down to graven images, disobey our parents, etc?
Religion / The Test Of Loyalty by Infomaz(m): 10:42am On Nov 11, 2018
Shadrach: “Mishael! Aazariah!, glad to meet you both at home” said Hananiah to his two friends now called Meshach and Abednego by the Babylonians. “Tomorrow is the D day”.

Meshach: “Any latest development?”

Shadrach: “How do you mean?”

Abednego: “He wants to know if there is any hope for us. Will the king overlook or pardon us if we fail to bow down to His golden image tomorrow?”
Shadrach: “You know that’s not possible. Dignitaries from all over the world are in town already and the stage is set. We are all going to die.”
Meshach: “Yeah…it’s not necessarily the death that’s on my mind, but death by fire?”
Shadrach: Now, let’s not be sad. Better to die than to worship an idol. Besides, Jehovah is very capable of saving us.

Abednego: “Thou shall have no other gods before me”

Shadrach: “You shall not make for yourself a graven image. You shall not bow down to them nor serve them.”

Meshach: What if the lord decides not to save us?

Shadrach: Then we shall not bow down. Agreed?

Abednego: Agree

Shadrach: Meshach?

Meshach: “Agree. But I’m thinking of my parents back at home. Did they survive the war? Are they alive? I guess I’ll never know or see them again.” Guess what? One of the priest back home advised me to just bow to the image, while worshipping God in my heart, that He will understands”

Shadrach: So what did you tell him?

Meshach: I simply recited the first and second commandments to him and he walked away shaking his head.”

Abednego: “Sad. But some of our people will do anything abominable to stay alive. I had hope to round up my studies and then settle down. But I’d rather obey Jehovah than anything else.”

Shadrach: “That is the spirit. Remember how Jehovah delivered our parents from Pharaoh? How they crossed River Jordan, the fall of Jericho and how the sun stood still? And how He have been protecting us?”
Meshach: Thanks. I am encouraged. Jehovah will see us through. So what’s our plans for tomorrow?
Shadrach: We shall stand together, but refuse to bow down at the trumpet sound. God help us.
Abednego: Amen. Let us pray. Shadrach, please lead us.

Shadrach: Ok. “Father Jehovah, the ancient of days and the God of our fathers, we worship and adore you, for you are the only true God. Forgive O lord our sins and that of your children. Tomorrow, we stand up for you, feeble and fearful we are. Hide our fears in your love, grant us your courage, and strengthen our resolve that we might be true to your commandments. Protects and care for our love ones wherever they me be. Save us from the burning fiery furnace if it be according to your will. Let your name be glorify in our lives, O lord we pray”.

History, the Bible says would repeat itself. As the battle between God and Satan approaches its climax, the issue of worship will once again assume centre stage. Earthly powers will “…cause the earth and those who dwells in it to WORSHIP the first beast…As many as would not WORSHIP the image of the beast should be killed.” “All who dwell on earth will WORSHIP him, (The beast) whose names have not been written in the book of Life” Revelation 13: 8, 12 & 15
On the other hand, God calls us to fear and give glory to Him because we are in judgement hour and to “WORSHIP Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters” Revelation 14:7. He warns us that “If any man WORSHIP the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God. Revelation 14:9, 10.

Satan desires above every other thing to be worshipped as God. Recall that not content with his exalted position as the first among the covering cherub, he corrupted his wisdom by reason of his beauty. His heart was lifted up with pride and thus desired the worship due only to God as creator. “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north…I will be like the most high” Isaiah 14:13-14. And in the wilderness, after showcasing the kingdoms of this world and all its glory before Jesus, he said “All these will I give You, if You will fall down and WORSHIP me.” Matthew 4:9

But over and over again, the Bible tells us that the reason God alone is worthy of our worship is because He is our Creator. As the psalmist tells us, “O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our maker.” – Ps 95:6. Jeremiah tells us “Jehovah is the true God, he is the living God…God made the earth by his power, and he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding” Paul introduced this “unknown God” whom the Athenians ignorantly worshipped as the Creator of the world, (Acts 17:23-24) and Revelation 4:11, the basis for the popular song, “Thou art worthy” says “Thou art worthy, o Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure and they are and were created. ”The point is, God is primarily worthy of our worship because he is our Creator. All other gods are not God because they did not create. - “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”Jer. 10:11
.
To commemorate (mark, remember) the fact that he is our CREATOR, and thus worthy of our worship, Jehovah instituted the Sabbath at the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, before the entrance of sin. “By the Seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the Seventh day, he rested from all his work. And God blessed the Seventh day and made it holy…” Divine providence foresaw the possibility of man forgetting and wandering after other gods, and rationalizing his actions by diverse theories of origin. Therefore, God commanded in the clearest possible language to “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy” Why? “For in six days Jehovah made heavens and the earth…therefore he blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” Exodus 20: 8 & 11. In other words, God says do not forget to keep the Sabbath day, so that you will always know that I am God, your Creator. To argue that the Sabbath day have been abolished therefore is to insinuate that God is no longer the creator!

Q. Are you saying that the Sabbath and worship are connected?

A. Of course they are. God says we should keep the Sabbath because He is our Creator, and He alone is worthy of worship because He created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. (Exodus 20:8, 11. Rev 4:1, Psalm 95:6). “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers of God will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24.

Q. But the Sabbath was made for the Jews alone, isn’t it?
A. No it was not. The Sabbath was made for man. God established the Sabbath at the close of creation – more than two thousand years before the Jewish nation came into existence. “Genesis 2:1, 3. “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. ... And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it He rested from all his work which God created and made”. Besides, the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Mark 2:27

Q. Ok, which day is the Sabbath day?
A. The seventh day of the week. “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy…but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
Q. That is Sunday, right?
A. No, wrong. Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday the seventh day. Saturday is therefore the Sabbath day.

Q. How can you be so sure? After all, I don’t think the Bible mentioned Sunday or Saturday by name.
A. Right from creation, God called the days of the week; First day, second day….seventh day. Genesis 1. The Romans were the ones that gave names to our week days. Being pagans, the days were named after their gods. The first day in the Bible was named after their sun god – Sunday, Monday was their moon god, Tuesday for the god of Tyr…to Saturday for their Saturn god. Even our months were named after one Roman deity or personality.

Q. Hasn't the Calendar Been Changed?
A. The calendar was changed once in October 1582, but it did not alter the weekly cycle. Ten dates were omitted from the calendar following October 4, 1582. What would have been Friday, October 5, became Friday, October 15. The diagram below will help you to visualize the change. You will see that it did not change the order of the days of the week. OCTOBER 1582

Sun. Mon. Tue. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat.
1 2 3. 4 15 16
17. 18 19 20. 21 22 23
24 25 26. 27 28 29 30
31

Q. What is wrong if I choose any of the days as my Sabbath day? Can’t I worship God on any day?
A. Do you remember the story of how God rained down manna from heaven for the Israelites for forty years?
Q. Yes, I do, but what has that got to do with my question?
A. A lot. God says He was going to use the opportunity of giving them manna to see if they would obey His law. The manna he said would fall from the first day of the week to the sixth day. And that they should take only the portion for the day, warning that they should be no leftover for the next day. He however said on the sixth day, they should take double portion as He would not rained down manna on the seventh day being the Sabbath.
Guess what happened?

Some persons took more than one portion only to find their leftovers filled with worms and stinking. While others failed to take double portion on the sixth day and went out on the seventh day, but found no manna. God was not happy and said to Moses “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and My laws? So yes, while we can worship God every day, we must not forget to keep the seventh day Sabbath holy.

Assuming you were there and decided to make the third day as your seventh, would it be the same with God's own? And would He be happy with you?

Q. Hmmnn…of course not. The issue is crystal clear.,
Did Jesus even keep the Sabbath?
A. Of course he did. “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as HIS custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. - Luke 4:16. It was the habit of Jesus to worship on the seventh day (Saturday)

Q. Can we be certain that the present seventh day of the week (Saturday) is the same Sabbath day that Jesus kept holy?
A. Yes we can. And that day was the preparation [Friday], and the Sabbath drew on. ... And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning they and certain other women came to the tomb. Luke 23:54-24:1.

Q. Ok, but didn’t the death of Jesus nailed the Sabbath law to the cross?

A. No it did not. If it did, the women who rested in obedience of the Sabbath law a day after He died, wouldn’t have done so. (Luke 23:56)

Acts 18:4 tells us that like Jesus, it was the habit of Paul to worship on the Sabbath. Moreover, the disciples wouldn’t have continued worshipping and keeping the Sabbath as recorded in the book of Acts. (Acts 13:27 & 42, 17:2, 18:4, etc.) In addition, James 2:10-12 says ““For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery” also said “Do not murder”. Now if you commit adultery, but you do not murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.”

Q. Wow! Seems very clear to me. But did the Bible not say in Colossians 2:16-17 that “So let no one judge you in food or drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ?”

A. Yes, it says so. But the “Sabbaths” referred to here are the ceremonial Sabbaths and not the fourth commandment. Apart from the Seventh day Sabbath, Leviticus 23, mentioned at least five Sabbaths namely
1. The first day of the seventh month of the year (verse 24)
2. The tenth day of the seventh month (verse 27, 28 and 32)
3. Starting from the fifteen day of the seventh month, the Israelites shall celebrate the feast of tabernacles for seven days. The first day of the feast shall be a Sabbath.
4. The eight day, after the seven days have ended shall be a Sabbath too. (Verse 39)
5. Seventh year Sabbath after farming the land for six years. (Leviticus 25:2-4)

These Sabbaths and the ceremonial laws “handwriting of ordinances” requiring animal sacrifices for sin were what was nailed to the cross. – Colossians 2:14 “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances (requirements) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross” why? Because they all pointed to Jesus as it was not really possible for the blood of bulls, rams or goats to save us from sin. Hebrew 10:3-4 “But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take sin away”

NOTE:
When you see the shadow of a person, you know it belongs to someone who is near. And when the person comes, there is no need to keep looking or talking to the shadow because the person (substance) is around. Similarly, for centuries, the killing of lambs as sacrifice for sin by the Israelites were a shadow (pointed to Jesus) of Jesus – the real lamb who was to come. His coming therefore render the continued sacrifice of lamb for sin, after his death, useless and unnecessary. It therefore made perfect sense to the Jews, when John on seeing Jesus, pointed out and said “Behold the lamb that takes away the sins of the world” for indeed, He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Q. Thank you very much for clarifying this. Will all of the saved in heaven keep the Sabbath?
A. You are welcome. Yes, they will. Isaiah 66:22, 23 says “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your descendants and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says the LORD”.
Q. When does the Sabbath begin and end?
A. Leviticus 23:32. From evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath.” The Sabbath begins from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. Unlike the Romans and our present day, God count the days from evening to evening. See Genesis 1:5, 8, 13 etc.

It is my prayer that the Lord shall help you to not forget but “REMEMBER” to keep the Sabbath day holy. That together with your household, you would be among those that will worship Him in the earth made new forever, in Jesus name.

Religion / Re: 7 Reasons Why Every Believer Should Speak In Tongues - Kenneth E Hagin by Infomaz(m): 2:31pm On May 06, 2018
To start with Jesus never spoke in tongues. You know why? There was no need to. His ministry was around Galilee and neighbouring towns, so the need to communicate in another language was not there.

Speaking in tongues, simple means speaking in another language. The main reason is to communicate, to overcome language barrier. It's simply the gift of speaking in another language (e.g Yoruba, French, Dutch) without a prior knowledge.

Acts 2:4-11 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languages. The Holy Spirit was giving them the power to do this.

5 There were some godly Jews in Jerusalem at this time. They were from every country in the world. 6 A large crowd came together because they heard the noise. They were surprised because, as the apostles were speaking, everyone heard in their own language.

7 They were all amazed at this. They did not understand how the apostles could do this. They said, “Look! These men we hear speaking are all from Galilee.[a] 8 But we hear them in our own languages. How is this possible? We are from all these different places:

9 Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, 10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the areas of Libya near the city of Cyrene, Rome, 11 Crete, and Arabia. Some of us were born Jews, and others have changed their religion to worship God like Jews. We are from these different countries, but we can hear these men in our own languages! We can all understand the great things they are saying about God.”


In addition, 1 Cor 12 tells us that :

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues

The truth is that what goes on as speaking in tongues now is pure gibberish and of the devil. It has its root in pagan rites, chants and invocations.

Romance / Re: Does Age Really Matter When It Comes To Marriage? by Infomaz(m): 6:07am On Apr 01, 2018
Of course it does!

1. Ideally and generally, the man should be between 3-15 years older than the woman. Women are generally more mature than men of the same age, especially at adolescence and youth age Thus women tend to naturally prefer those 3 years and above their age.

2. For better communication and shared values : it'll be difficult for a woman or man to get mental companionship from one that is far older or younger than him/her. Imagine a 20 years old girl with a 40 or 50 years old man and vice versa.

3. Physical and Sexual Compatibility : Men generally and culturally prefer to marry younger women. This will help avoid the situation where the woman looks like the elder sister or mother of the man, after 2 or more children. On the other hand, sexual performance for men declines with men overtime... especially from 50 years upwards. This could create sexual frustration and other problems for a very young wife.

I'll stop here because of time constraints.

4. Love is subject to reason, but Lust is blind and unreasonable

6. Love is right and moral. Lust is wrong and immoral

7. Love is comfortable with God, for God is Love. Lust is not.

Any one conversant with Nigeria's socio-economic and political environment as well as international politics can give these so-called prophecies.

I gave mine (See "My Prophecies For 2018") and surprisingly (or rather amusingly) about 70 percent of my intelligent guess work are captured in their prophecies.

Wow.. ...this is so true.. ..Butvhow do we stop it. I mean social deception

By stopping it the "outrage stage " using legislation to ban, fine and imprison those promoting it, including the media.

A firm, unequivocal response will stop such evil as homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, pedophylia , etc.

Accepting any one of these aberrations is like opening a Pandora box for many more to come. People now advocate for these abominations as human rights.

*The Six Stages of Social Deception*

Social Deception very often is a process by which wrong becomes right, and right becomes wrong. It’s a complete paradigm shift of opinions, standards and morals that is achieved softly, subtly and often takes a generation to entrench into society. Those who engineer it are very deliberate and structured in their approach.

If you want to know what I am talking about, find out your mother’s views on things like sexuality and marriage and compare them with yours. The contrast in opinions does not necessarily prove that she is old and antiquated; it may instead prove that you have been deceived.

There are six stages of Social Deception.
The SHOCKER stage
The OUTRAGE stage
The DISCUSSION stage
The TOLERANCE stage
The ACCEPTANCE stage
The VENERATION stage

If I wanted to popularize the most unimaginable thing in our society, say like bestiality (the practice of having sex with animals). I would follow these steps. I would select a forerunner to drop the SHOCKING message on an unsuspecting public. “It is okay and we shouldn't have problems having sex with animals,” he would announce on radio, TV or in a newspaper. That is the SHOCKER; the bombshell, so to speak.

It would inevitably be followed by OUTRAGE. The forerunner is abused and demonized by the bewildered public. Every respected leader in society comes out to slam the lamentable reprobate who dared suggest something so obnoxious. The forerunner defiantly defends the practice. His critics come out even more scathing. But the forerunner knows exactly what he is doing. He is setting an agenda. Many people don’t understand the effect of continuous exposure on the human mind.

I will give an example most of you will understand. If you ask a girl out and she is not interested in you, the best thing she can do for herself is stay away from you or your words. If she continues listening to you, what was initially unthinkable becomes worth a consideration, then acceptable. Many ladies have fallen for guys they swore never to date just because they didn’t understand the law of continuous exposure.

Once the bestiality message reaches the third stage; DISCUSSION, the forerunner has done his job. At this stage there is a big debate over bestiality; with most people still slamming it, not knowing that they are falling into a trap.
It is a known fact that homosexual groups abroad were giving money to people fighting homosexuality in Uganda. Then they would also fund those pushing for it. Initially it didn’t make sense. Until understanding came about how deception works. What they wanted was to keep the subject of homosexuality in public debate. They know exactly what they were doing. The more people are exposed to it through discussion, the more it becomes less obnoxious in their minds.

That leads to the next stage: TOLERANCE. At this stage people say: “I am not going to have sex with animals, but if someone chooses to do it, shauri yake (that’s his problem). Others will say: “Who cares what people do behind closed doors?”
I have heard these statements being made by people who clearly don’t understand what they are up against.

This is the stage at which science kicks in to ‘prove’ that some people are born with an inherent attraction "natural orientation" towards animals and they cannot help themselves. Consequently, bestiality will be included in the UN Human Rights Charter and activists are given a new pursuit. Economic and travel sanctions will be used to twist the arms of nations that still forbid it.
Then we start hearing phrases like: “We cannot tell people whom they should love.”
The main purpose of this stage is to ensure that bestiality is legally accepted.

The next two steps are aimed at entrenching it at a social level.
The penultimate stage is ACCEPTANCE. At this stage bestiality becomes a conventional alternative way of living. All the outrage has since dissipated. This is the stage at which those still opposed to it are called BESTIAPHOBIC (the word will be coined) and they are considered antiquated, old-fashioned, intolerant, dogmatic, religious zealots, bigots…. you’ve heard all those words.
This is the stage at which there are bestiality rights parades in major cities.

Then we are reminded that the same book in the Bible that forbids bestiality also forbids eating pork. Then ‘intellectuals’ use that to rubbish the Word of God, and make it look ridiculous.

The final step is VENERATION. This is the stage at which the people who practice bestiality are praised. The liberalist media (which includes almost all international channels) subtly promotes them as ‘cool’, intelligent, exposed. That’s the stage at which celebrities ‘come out’ to reveal that they are ‘proud bestialists’.

Then bestiality begins to win fresh ‘converts’ everyday because many young people will do anything to be seen as ‘cool’ or to be associated with some Hollywood or football star. That is how you corrupt a whole society.
That’s how previously unthinkable things like atheism and homosexuality and all other forms of sexual perversion have taken root in our society. Unfortunately, in Uganda, homosexuality has reached Stage four (Tolerance). But in the West, it has gotten to the veneration stage.

You have probably heard of the black homosexual American footballer who “made history by becoming the first footballer to come out”. What’s historical about someone proclaiming their perversion? So many other people are being lauded in the media for no other reason other than their homosexuality.

Your mother may not be outdated after all. You may be deceived.

If you found this enlightening, share it with as many people as possible. It might just save them from the ever-widening canyon of SOCIAL DECEPTION...

Religion / Re: Daddy Freeze: "Speaking In Tongues In Nigerian Churches Is Fake” by Infomaz(m): 1:45pm On Dec 09, 2017
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues (languages) , as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:5

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?


The so-called Unknown language that goes for speaking in tongues today is gibberish and sheer babbling. The apostles where blessed with the gift of speaking other languages because of the need to break the communication barrier and spread the gospel.

What happened was that the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa man that went to Jerusalem heard the gospel in their OWN MOTHER TONGUE!

The meaningless gibberish that goes for tongues in most of our churches has its root in pagan chanting and invocations.

DLondonboiy:
Did Jesus collect tithe? Did the Apostles collect tithe? So why is daddy GO collecting tithe?

Even if we wanna go back under the law...
Under the law, tithes were paid yearly. Under the law, in the first year, you eat your tithe, same thing in the second year, eat your tithe in the 3rd year, your tithe should be used to feed widows, orphans and strangers...

But we are not under the law...Jesus has fulfilled the law.

Anybody who pays tithe is a goat!


How Christlike!

Romance / Re: Is Break Up Sex Okay? by Infomaz(m): 1:30pm On Nov 01, 2017
Breakup sex is a contradiction ... absolute nonsense.

Sex naturally an ideally is an expression of care and love. It shouldn't happen in a vacuum but rather in an atmosphere of mutual respect, admiration, emotional security and care. That's what separate love -making from sex.

If a relationship has so degenerated that it must come to an end, then it's better to walk away from it with your dignity (especially for the lady)

For the man, it's amount to disrespect to want to celebrate ending a relationship with 'bonking' the same lady you're leaving.

Breakup sex will distort reality, create emotional confusion, weaken your resolve to do the right thing and expose yourself to last STDs, pregnancy as well as possible wicked plans of the one you're separating from.
