On a particular day in my teenage years, I was in a meeting and listened to a man speak so wisely. It was an eye opening session.

After the meeting, I summoned up the courage to meet up the man, told him how impressed I was with his teaching, and I asked him to give me a ‘prescription’ for wisdom, that I wanted to be wise.

He looked at me and said, “Obviously I can’t give you my own wisdom. But feed on God’s word and you will be wise. God’s word is an embodiment of wisdom”.

In all honesty, I expected him to prescribe something totally different other than studying God’s word. But then, what he told me is the best thing he could have ever said to me.

Till this day, I can’t really tell you any other reason why I read the bible other than my quest for wisdom, and I hope God lavishes her upon me, I pray

Proverbs chapter 2 buttress that man’s point and also gives guidelines on how one can start the journey of becoming wise. But while I read that chapter, a particular verse struck me;

“Discretion will protect you; understanding will watch over you” Proverbs 2 vs 11

After thinking about this verse, I realized that the ability of discretion to protect you is dependent on the amount of wisdom that is at work in your life. This means that the more wisdom you have, the more the precision/accuracy of your discretion.


More or less, I am just a man in search of wisdom. Someday I am going to find her.


ES

You won't find it in the Bible

MaxInDHouse:
Just as you and most people like you kept coming up with lots of threads and post about JWs!

So if I come up with JW threads, that means I envy them?

Aemmyjah:
The universe and life with all the cycles and designs including your brain is a product of accident right?

1. Since you are sure the universe was created
A. Which god created it?
B. What's your evidence?

2. If your god was not created, and thus existed since the beginning , why couldn't the universe exist since beginning ?

Kobojunkie:
God answers only the prayers of the righteous. This is what is in fact written in scripture.

So christians aren't righteous?

Dtruthspeaker:
That is where you are wrong, He answered me and I am already full filled.

Yeah, fully filled with frustration, so much that you vent it on Nairalanders

MaxInDHouse:
YES! So we have to inculcate in them the love of God making them peacelovers not hopeless, worthless and useless athiests who just feel like killing and getting killed due to politics!

Lol. You keep shooting yourself in the foot in the attempt to defend your crew.
So you mean after fasting and praying to Yahweh, he answers their prayers by sending his enemies to his own people?
Max, are you sure you don't need a shrink?

Omniknowest:
Why did you resort to name calling Oga 😂😂😂
Let's be civic in our discussion pls

Bro, looks like you're kinda new here? Ok listen. This is Dtruthspeaker. Not only is he an uncouth human, but he's the daftest theist to draw breath. He's so dumb I doubt he knows the difference between day and night. He can't hold an intelligent convo. Once you start exposing his stupid post he goes all violent and abusive

Omniknowest:
Sorry for your loss bro

What loss?

chieveboy:
The number of Souls from other planets on the physical domain alone could fill up all available space on earth. I am not sure if you realize how tiny earth really is.

This is even without moving to other dimensions where most Souls who die on earth go to rest and be reborn.

How did you come about this?

Dtruthspeaker:
See Fool, does not know he is asking a very stupid questions

Lawag3

Dtruthspeaker:
Are you not a fool? It is not surprising that you require explanation.

Lawag3

Dtruthspeaker:
See yourself. That was the number of Israel alone. And the next verse after the Isreal count in Revelation said "a great multitude that no man could count".

So you see, you are talking absolute rubbish. Ye have no excuse.

Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps. And they *sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.

Omniknowest:
You are right my guy, my mom the other day was doubting if am really a believer again?😁
Cause according to her, these aren't questions a believer supposed to be asking😂😂
It leads to the point where I always avoid faith related discussion with her😂😂😂

I was once like you. That was about 20 years ago. Some stuff just didn't add up, especially in the Bible and Christianity. Asked my moms, she rebuffed me, exactly what your mum did. My dad is late. Asked some Christian friends. Blank wall. Some recommended I asked their pastors, when I did, more blank walls and stupid answers. Some even said I should wait and ask Yahweh when I die. I'm like duh, I need my answers when I'm alive not dead. Some deflected by saying the holy spirit would reveal it soon. It never came, more than 20 years. And in those years, I learned more by myself. And thanks to the internet and (maybe) Nairaland, I know much more.
Truth is, religion was a tool to control humans. And control is power, and with power comes money etc. Emperor Constantine of Rome spread christianity by the sword. Why should someone force you to take something that would benefit you by threats of killing you? Same way Islam was spread by the Arabs and Moors. Same old power.

Na when we die we go know nau. Who nor know go know. Whether God dey or e nor dey we go know. Whether na Allah oh or na Trinity we go know. Na to fess die. Only that once you die laidis na to accept your fate because e go dey too late.

Yup. Peace be to you

Omniknowest:
Its obvious dude
Imagine him saying that Father can blame his kid for getting biting by a venomous snake the Father willfully kept in the house!
Just because he's desperate to defend his belief?😂

There are many theists like him, Christians, Muslims, etc. I meet them on Nairaland and offline. They say any daft thing to defend their religions. And don't you dare challenge them. You can be worse off for it

Dtruthspeaker:
Only stupid people and people who love eternal pain and suffering will listen to him.

Dtruthspeaker:
I pray God specially punishes you such as no man has seen since the beginning of this
world.

Omniknowest:
😂 How am I supposed to think pls dear?
I believed and will always be in God, but that won't stop me from questioning some teaching of my faith.
I and every believer, believed that God is Light with no any form of darkness in Him...
Why then seat on tonnes of questions when you can asked and be enlighten?

Like I said, don't say you weren't warned. Atheism is knocking on the door. These questions you're asking would be termed heretic by some, and could earn you unwanted hate.

Dtruthspeaker:
The blame on every child who has failed is because Enoch completely beat the bastard and his armies, Noah too followed, king Abimelech, Abraham's friend also did it, which is why God Spoke to him when he was about making a mistake and why he was Abraham's friend, Job did it, Daniel did it, etc

So these people have shown that we can beat Satan and his armies exactly what God knows, so all who fail are without excuse.

And revelation shows that many many children made it, that clearly tells us that Satan is beatable.

Revelation showed 144k people made it. That's like 0.00001% of present world population. Does that sound like a lot of people to you?

Dtruthspeaker:
See how you lie! Your own words


Now, to your very bad talk


Banishment means the Father did not run away but threw out the stupid child.

And the mere fact that the banished children are not complaining that they were banished already proves that they know they fuqd up big time and therefore deserve to be banished.

So, this is just you trying to smear The Father's good Name because of your personal wish and bias.

Shebi I tell you…
More brainless posts
Tell me how this post explains the scenario

Omniknowest:
I pray I never be like that father
Imagine a father blaming his kids for falling the victim of danger he willfully exposed then too?
God banished Satan from heavens for a reason...
World governments crackdown on terrorist, criminal rings and likes is for tonnes of reason.... Which I believed you too knows.
Satan rebel against the most high, was able to influence about 1 quarter of heavenly beings, who are superior to earthlings... God banished him to earth... As dangerous as such being could be, to live among his purported children as its taught.... Isn't this wickedness on its own?

I cant Imagine you spewing this writeup

He's DTruthSpeaker. I guess you don't know him. He doesn't think stuff through before replying, and his replies are always brainless. Then when you challenge his daft replies, he either yells 'change of post' or just abuses and cusses you out

Dtruthspeaker:
And every loving father has always said any of his children who could be conscripted into crime, is worthy of not being his child.

His true children know that serial killers and terrorist are the ones who run away from them and not them who join the killers and terrorist.

That is why we all bannish our useless children who do not walk in our ways.

And besides your answer was a change of post for the topic was about the banishment of Satan and not about God disowning his children who followed Satan.

I see what you did there. Dodging questions doesn't fit you

plessis:
The divine is not supposed to make sense.

Lol.
Nice dodge.
Does everlasting life make sense?

plessis:
God gave you his son. You have no excuse to not show love to your next neighbour.

Who brought the idea of sin? Yahweh. Who do we ask for forgiveness? Yahweh
Are you seeing the facts now?

Dtruthspeaker:
When you banish your child does it mean he cannot walk around the village or go anywhere he likes?

If he his bad behavior convinces other children to follow him, do you not say "na dia fault be dat?

So it is for all of you who follows Satan's way. It is your fault and responsibility. You have no one to blame but your own selves.

So if Yahweh knew Satan would turn out to tempt his children, then why did he banish him?

Omniknowest:
The funny story is the Satan versus God story!



God banished Satan from heaven as an evil angel. Then sent him to earth to torment and test his children.... Those who fail will be sent to hell to rot with the evil angel and those who passed will be taken to heaven to rejoice with God.



I'm not atheist because I believe in God because he's pure! But some stories ain't clear!

Copied!

Verily, verily, i say unto you, keep thinking like this, and you'll end up an atheist. Dont say I didn’t warn you

adeoyekay:
If you have the revelation or knowledge of heaven you will not even bother about the things of this world

Do you pray for the goodies of life?

Kobojunkie:
1. God told you from over 1000 years ago that He does not answer the prayers of sinners — not even their petitions for forgiveness. But you chose to listen instead to pastors and mogs rather than God. You chose to have faith in your pastors and mogs instead of God and rightly your faith turned up nothing at the end of the day. So, you should go back to those men and denounce your faith in them in the midst of all of their congregation at least.

So does he answer the prayers of Christians?

adeoyekay:
if it is in this life we have hope , we are most miserable

There is no man that set his hand on the plough and look back fit for the kingdom of God

1 Peter 2:5 cast your care upon him for he cares for you

Why do you Christians keep changing the goalpost? In one post, you say Yahweh answers prayers and if you believe in him, your life would be better off. The next post you say it is in this life we have hope , we are most miserable meaning the 'enjoyment' na after death.
Don't you guys get tired?

Dtruthspeaker:
Even your own brother of the same parents would have destroyed you for saying this to him, how much more God!

Can you pray for me then?

Dtruthspeaker:
May The Lord punish you evil things with something worser than lake of Fire.

What is 'worser' than lake of fire, bro?

Dtruthspeaker:
May The Lord punish you evil things with something worser than lake of Fire.
