Oscar pistorios state of mind shey? you know where it landed him shey.... 5 yrs

liljboy:
She looked around and
saw a big hammer, took it and hit Matthew on his
head. Matthew fell off Nkechi... Nkechi got up, took
Matthew's gun and shot him dead...

liljboy:
God is the ultimate judge. But, Nkechi could have ran
out after hitting him with the hammer. She shot him
while he was helpless, no longer a threatening figure.
Just like shooting to kill someone who is fleeing. Or
shooting someone at the back. Or shooting someone
who is tied hands and feet. . . Now, if you had said:
'he fell off, stood up in shock and then rushed at her
with fury, she quickly picked up the gun and fired' ,
Ehen! I would hail her and fight anyone who says she
didn't try. I know he's evil and we think he needs to
die, but at least let Nkechi's own soul be intact
because i don't think it's easy to live after taking a
life. Nightmares and loss of meaning in life, etc. So,
never be killed when you could have defended
yourself. But if there's a way out, run instead!

Question01:
Seriously, i do not expect any meaningful contribution from those countries when all they they could do during the Palestinian plight was to curse US or Isreal.
Besides, do they even have an army? Six of them banded against Isreal in 1948 and lost.
Jack, do you expect oppressors like Saudi, Kuwait, Iran or Pakistan government or Mullahs to liberate the oppressed in another domain? You mean Saudi and Kuwait that indoctrinate those fanatics and turn a blind eye to private donors to Islamist insurgencies, Iran that just hanged a 26 years old for possibly defending herself against a rapist or Pakistan that is about to hang a Mother after 3 years of incarceration for alledged blasphemy?
ISIS cannot be compared with some rebel groups in the West, easily wiped out by the government. ISIS is the product of the quest for a sharia state, an ideology that when you look beyond the battlefield, appeal to a vast fraction of mainstream muslims.

Empiree:
When I was growing up, we were thought to cover our private before shower. Jinn at that moment are capable of seeing you. It's recommended that anyone (male or female) at age of puberty should cover his(her) private in shower. In Hinduism, they believe that as well. In their theology, it's believe that water is life and must be respected while taking shower by covering your private. That's correct as far as I am concern.

Empiree:
JackBizzle, what is really being conveyed with respect to 'Akudaya' is that when someone dies, he is dead. Period. The idea that people see such person in another city etc, is that Jinn, most of them are bad, take the form. They are capable of taking form of your long dead grandfather and speaking to you. And you would recognize he's your grandfather. That is the illusion mentioned in above essay. The reality is the man talking to you is not your grandfather. He's Jinn. I learn that this thing is common in Hinduism as well. You just have to watch out.

I've been following for a while now and I'll like to say thank you to everyone that has contributed one way or the other.

There are many issues that the Bible isn't very clear about and I think this should be one of them. The problem usually with issues like this is that we would keep debating about them because we already have deep-seated ideologies formed by cultural upbringing and childhood training.

It's only natural because the Bible is written in words and letters, we could interprete and apply these words a thousand ways to agree with our individual opinions. BUT we aren't ambassadors of the letter because the "letter kills"!.

I think the issue of ornaments in general should be a personal doctrine. The questions that we must ask ourselves as we pursue body beautification are as follows. Is this really necessary? Does this edify my spirit? Does this glorify God? Am I doing this in accordance to the dictations of my flesh?

Christianity shouldn't be legalistic, it should be a relationship with the Holy Spirit. I know a lot of good Christians that have tattoos (eg Lecrae) but then it's between their spirit and the Holy Spirit.

Finally, I WILL not use tattoos because God is yet to lead me to see how a tattoo has glorified God in Nigeria (I'm not saying it doesn't happen).People naturally abhor it over here.So, there.....we could argue forever, we'll just keep going in circles.
GOD BLESS.

vickyO:
No, his having it doesn't justify it.

He isn't perfect neither is he God.



Also sinners were able to relate with Christ because he didn't put the holier than thou attitude the religious folk of his days had on.

This is my opinion: If ex junkies and those life has taken to its dark corners come across this pastor, they'll be apt to listen to him...

To this opinion I recommend the movie: the Machine Gun Preacher...

Empiree:
You don't get it.

tbaba1234:
It is a chapter that addresses actions taken by the jinn including examples relating to exactly what the op meant.

Validating a person's story is not its' role. It is to show that these things do happen and they take different forms. What is addressed here is just one example.

If you put think about it, just a little, you might just get it

tbaba1234:
I can not validate the examples given by others, that is not my place.

If you read the 'long winded' essay, some of these things be clearer.

Empiree:
tbaba1234:

A dead person is dead.

tbaba1234:
It is not off topic or long winded, it addresses the issue and others related to it, giving examples.

First of all, the person is dead. There is no reincarnation.

However, there are creatures known as Jinn, that can create an illusion of life, for people. By taking the form or the voice.

tbaba1234:
This phenomenon is not as a result of reincarnation.

A dead person is dead.

Read the essay above.

rinrin23:
The unfortunate truth is that we are still colonized- mentally and spiritually. Nigerians are so pre-occupied with the present that they do not look back into their history. If we really look back our forefathers adopted these religions for strategic purposes (access to education, better lives, trade, etc), most were forced, other strong-wiled ones where killed for not adopting/converting.

Adolf Hitler- 'The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes'

Question01:
The only group worth considering is the Army of Mujahidin(AM), formed primarily to resist ISIS but even then, it remain to be known if AM oppose ISIS out of disapproval of ISIS methodology and teachings or out of suspicion that ISIS is a secret wing of Asaad wrestling back regions already liberated from Asaad 's grip.

There is need for you to group ISIS opposition in two.
A. Groups fighting ISIS as a means to an end.
B. Groups fighting ISIS as an end in itself.

The second group is what i seek. None of your examples so far falls here. They fall within the first group. Some of which like Al qaeda are just as vicious as ISIS and others like Kurds would undoubtly disarm once ISIS move out of their region.

Dux01:
pastor kun pray more about this matter of tithe.i can assure you that you are wrong.am telln u.

lanrexlan:
Peace brother.

lanrexlan:
The same way I don't believe that the tag 'extremist' is a compliment.Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) came to reform the people and he doesn't reform them by calling them extremists and venerating himself .
Question01(usermane) always find faults in everything muslims do and exempt himself as the only person doing the right thing.

Yes,he is trying to destroy his Islam with his ideologies.I know what I wrote,he is a deformist.For example,Islam says consuming pig is haram only for 'our reformer' to turn around and say only the meat is forbidden,the fat is halal(allowed).I don't know where the fat comes from if not from the flesh(Just the Jews that made halal what Allah(swt) made haram by twisting the name).Is this reforming right?

This is one among many of his and his folks twisted ideologies,clear facts from Qu'ran but trying to give it 'a modern meaning'.Just like Brother Empiree rightly said,you don't know what's on ground,you don't know usermane nor his folks but you are trying to be a gentleman who wants fairness.But you don't know who are defending,so dear brother just watch and don't jump into what you really don't know about.

PAGAN9JA:
1) True. However it was too late by then. millions of slaves had already been transported by then. Britain turned on a better leaf towards its later stage but the rough treatment in its former colonies continued. Britain conquered the americas as well, destroying many Native tribes. by the time they left, the damage had already been done. Britain was the cause of a lot of damage in the world. and then made attempts to wash its hands off it. E.g., creation of israel, etc.

Look I am not denying African slavery by Arabs.

but if you compare the household treatment of Arab slaves to White slaves, you will know what I am talking about.

One of the only serious bad treatment of Arab slaves was the eunuch system and the horrible ordeals they had to go through to lose their manhood. but later on , they were most highly priced and owned by rich classes as harem guards. THey would normally rise to the highest positions of Governor, etc., since they were most trustworthy.

the other bad things was religious conversion, transportation conditions, etc. and slavery itself ofcourse.

Empiree:
JackBizzle, you just registered few days ago and then jumped to conclusion. Maybe you should be quiet and keep your eyes open. Fair enough?

lanrexlan:
Mister,you don't have to jump into conclusion if you don't know what's going on.Moreover,I am only stating the obvious about him,calling a spade a spade.And please point out the insult in my post or give us a new definition of insult.

lanrexlan:
Sorry bro,you aren't a reformist but a 'deformist'.No one can stood by you because your ideology is wack.You keep tagging people as orthodox muslims,extremists,rejecting you are a 'muslim' and at the same time,trying to portrait yourself as person that is an Islamic 'reformer'.
The only person that share your views is an hatetheist,he's your pen pal.

Question01:
To be a muslim reformist require guts because the extremists won't hesistate to flatline you.
Yet the reformists have no pillar of support, there is not a single state pursuing Islamic reform.
