ValentineMary:
Johnydon22, u always make me proud. Nice work.

i wouldn't really call solomon wise cus most of the little details about the character as found in the bible are actually below average to me and sometimes pretty silly.

Gibeon was really a smart one by the way

annunaki2:
This thread is the reason why our deranged atheists lunatics should spend more time on bashing Islam that wants to kill them instead they waste their time bashing Christianity that preaches unconditional love towards them.

perhaps you have a point but try this little experiment - go out into any street of Nigeria especially here in the south dominated by Christians and start shouting 'there is no god' or 'insult jesus' lets see if christians wont ill you.

always loved these litanies and solemn songs in the church, i particularly love the litany of the saints though you hardly find an african on the list which is rather curious.

MrMontella:
the baba wan vanish like dat oo..

Johnydon22 sire...are you now married ??

4kings:
Oga, you are very rare this days ooo, not even Science and Technology section.
Happy new year!

Lol i rarely have time to argue these days, money got my time now.

And the religious board has degraded to a level too low in terms of intellectual discussions..

Take a look up there, sassy remarks and silly memes are not arguments - i no get that energy again.

But i am still there, if you guys need me anytime just mention me (not the usual group mention thingy)

detiosa:
Rubbish post

Immorttal:
but can one see venus or mercury with the naked eye. I heard they are similar to the sun

Not similar but bright in the night sky - anyway venus is visible to us this time of the year.. Look up the night sky for the brightest star at night.

Sun

Wearing a cloth sewn from two different materials is against biblical codecs but you do it anyway..

Using a phone is unbiblical

Maybe soon you will ask "is breathing biblical? "

Cant you figure out the things you want to do yourself?

Talk2bryant:
John I don know how you sit down and string these words but you're awesome. I'm alone in the house listening to all sort of music and amplified amen from all directions. Phcn don do their work, make them pray for stable power supply in the new year, na lie, the church go on gen, we're deceiving ourselves in this country

i saw a new year crusade church advert bill board today, i couldnt help but sigh.. "here we go again!"

Right here from my little room I can hear the fire works cracking, the bells tolling and the speaker banging with the sure prophetic utterances from that energetic pastor and the over ever shouty hopeful amen booming down in a deafening degree of decibels.

Its new year’s eve, its once again a night of many hopes, a night of an incessant repetition of resolutions that never make it past the 2nd week of January and most importantly the night that the booming churchprenuership of Nigerian Pentecostal movement pulls their largest con job.
The weeks of December are always marked by the sequence of prophetic revelation being released officially by Nigerian pastors to the ever gullible masses who are ready to swallow anything hook line and sinker no matter how vague and shallow it is.

This new culture of yearly predictions by self acclaimed prophets and MOGs never cease to amaze me, more so by the fact that the people swallow the same old boring tired line yearly, there is no room for scrutiny, no pause for rational evaluation of these so called “god revealed prophecies” watered down with a smack soup of “new year’s eve cross over prayers” all met with a rather sheepish hopeful shouts of ‘amen’.

This new tradition by con men in roman collars is overly puerile and feeble and it baffles me why people cannot simply see through these cheap predictions sold to them in the name of prophecy to advertise an ever growing business that relies on such pious fraud to grow.

The very intellect of the average Nigerian is being insulted by these very nonsensical cheap utterances, as vague as shapes in a smoke.

Reasons for these
I once said ‘’if you want the people to believe something, rope it around their ignorance [as a mystery], around their fear [as a threat] and around their hope [as a promise]”

This is the sole reason for this new practice that has gone deep into the fabrics of our societal events.

There is a very dangerous form of spiritual reliance as exercised by the average Nigerian and this makes us simple preys for con men to exploit with such a simple and vague trick.

Just like the conventional business enterprise rely on adverts to garner potential customers for the growth and profit of the business man, the churchprenuership as much as much as every other business rely on the ‘Advert strategy’ to garner members for the ever growing pocket of the pastorprenuer.

So there is a increasing demand to out perform each other, a need to stand out, a need to create awareness and advertise the pastor’s ability to see into the future which is like an Opium integrated into the very fabrics of our spiritual demands.

In our desperation we have resorted to seeking knowledge of tomorrow, prophecies of how our life should or will play out and this spiritual desperation has created a very lucrative niche ready to be explored to the fullest.

These so called prophecies and revelations are not in anyway factual or correct since human events are a mesh of willful interactions reacting in the most random web, a random system can be predicted but a random system that comprises of “willful actions” such as the human societal output cannot be accurately predicted but rather guessed by sticking with the likeliest output of a given causality.

So these men are not telling you what is true but rather feast on your emotional vulnerability to tell you what you want and need to hear, utilize your insecurities to tell you what they want you to hear.

cheapness of this practices
Nothing wows me more than this cheap tricks than their success. The successful acceptance of these cheap guesses in the name of prophecies reveals a neck deep crass gullibility, a sad reality that shows the very low form of rational thinking we operate from, an epileptic analytical ability and a humongous gullibility that compounds our vulnerability to fall prey to these cheap tricks.

It baffles me how people cannot simply see through the cheap guess work fed to them as an authentic divine revelation from a supposedly incredibly all knowing source because the vagueness of these guesses brings the ‘authenticity’ of the source into question.

The method is simple – with series of past events these men take a pick of a the likeliest of the possible outcomes and voila prophecy is born.

Adeboye predicted a new kind of disease [ sexually transmitted] making wave in 2016, its no news that we get to find out new kinds of diseases almost on daily basis but from the weight of the prophecy it seemed that this one was supposed to become very popular which of course we didn’t get to know of such, now 2016 is about to end.

What is so special about someone coming to make such guess, anyone can wake up and do that – the vagueness of the prophecy goes thus; the source of this prophecy which supposedly is all knowing somehow didn’t tell adeboye the name this disease would be called [since it is revealing future events], no date, no precise symptoms but somehow a lot of people find this impressive.

Take another example; some forces will poison Buhari’s wife – Aisha Buhari clapping out against her husband’s administrations is one of the most unforgettable events of 2016, Buhari’s epic reply further amplifying the issue followed by series of reproaching reactions from some politicians against Aisha’s utterances.

Its no news that Aisha’s public presence seemed to have diminished very noticeably after the saga pointing towards a very possible reproach within the family circle and then with a chain of these interconnected events someone comes out and places a wild guess ‘some nameless forces will poison the wife of the president” I’ve got to give it to him, it’s a nice try, a good guess.

there is nothing impressive in stating Nigeria will loose some important persons within the year, for goodness sake people die in their thousands every day and important people are no more immortal than others.

And this is being fed to the public as some divinely inspired revelation – our conception upon the divine is so puerile.

It’s a new year’s eve, they are going to play the same song again, tell us another story again, another ‘amen’ again, another “this is your year” again, another “your year of divine providence, you will drive a car this year” same old cheap words aimed at fully tapping into the hope of the people.

You have shouted “amen” to “you will drive a car this new” for more than 10 new years yet still going back to repeat the same movie, drop your offering and seed to bulldoze a divine passage of progress in 2017.

Ooh are we to continue being stupid till when?

This a new year, tomorrow is no different from all days that were once tomorrow but are now yesterday, the present is the most important time since it shapes your tomorrow and paints your yesterday.

The miracle you seek do not need so many amens but the one you resolve within you, there is no such a thing as I will make it in 2017, your foundations towards achieving your dreams starts immediately do not wait for a new year or cross over night prophecies.

You are all the miracles you seek.

The undeserved attention and importance we give to these clowns In roman collars has always proven to be one of our numerous banes as they all for their own interests use our vulnerability for profits end up selling to us divine remedies for earthly problems relegating the ability of our own self to achieve our own desires through work and consistency for a platter of a more comforting lazy divine promise that needs renewal every year.

Never trust people who know so well what GOD(S) wants or the mind of GOD(S). you will notice it is always in coincide with their own mind.
