its a good thing jamb rescinded its decision BUT it still boils down to the school. For example,jamb say 180 is the cut off mark,but according to what the jamb bosses have said previously,the school still has the right to increase its cut off mark,especially if it has a high number off applicants. Just hope it goes well o.

pls guyz,i wanna know,what is the probability of unilag setting questions from their past questions? Cuz i asked someone who wrote last year,he said he didn't see any past question. Also, how can i pass the general paper?cuz i know the past question won't really help in passing the general paper question. They are mostly filled with government questions.

my friends and i picked unilag,and scored more than 250 while i scored more than 260. When we checked to confirm on unilag's site,if we were eligible to write the post utme,they were not but i was. While i am happy to some extent i am also sad. The choice of applicants were based on distance,location,safety,accessibilty and close communication to one's family and cost. Now,it as been ruined. But wait; based on the 180 cut off decided by jamb,it was discovered that more than 60000 jambites will be applying for unilag post utme,in the end only 7000 will be picked.why waste and put all ur hope in an uncertain institute while there are SO MANY other ones with SO MUCH vacancies? What jamb has done is necessary evil

pls note: i don't care about who rules. But come on guyz,let's wish good for the government most of us chose. Lets stop hating because the person u voted for didn't win. Goodluck,was given 6 years to prove himself,he did his best,but nigerians felt it wasn't good enough,and they voted who they felt would give them what they want. So to my people(especially igbos and co) stop praying for buhari to fail because ur man failed. Stop saying words like:'shebi una dey find change,una go see change'.stop being tribalistic because it shows ignorance to a superlative degree. If u want good for the country u have toplay ur part.because there can't be progress if we want to withdraw our selves from the progress we all have been praying for. So please stop hating and support. One love

Sports › Re: Eden Hazard And Neymar Jnr...who Is Better? by joviegghead: 11:06am On Apr 11, 2015
At first,my reaction was they're equals but looking at them closely there're definitely differences. Hazard is definitely more of a team player,while neymar is a little bit selfish unlike b4 when he was totally selfish. In terms of dribbling,both are quite good but hazard as the upper hand,cuz looking at stats,messi has always topped the dribbling chart year in year out,in the last 2 seasons hazard is the closest 2nd successful dribbler behind messi. Neymar is just more tricky than hazard just like cr7 is tricky but messi is far better in dribbles. When it comes to technique,both are on par. When it comes to passes and assists,hazard,clearly edges neymar. In terms of shots,neymar is more adventurous unlike hazard who likely makes crosses and passes. Finally,if it's about scoring goals: you can't deny neymar is better but hazard's conversion rate is superb. I guess the reason why neymar edges hazard in scoring is because his selfishness yield result and he takes more risks than hazard.. Also neymar is a young boy but a great leader performing so well at both at club as well as for his country,but hazard just turns up for chelsea. Bottom line: hazard possess qualities for the good of a team while neymar possesses qualities good for both a player and the team. So if i want a team player for the good of my team,i'll pick hazard,but if i want a game changer,with effects i'll pick neymar.

Bro listen up,judas made his choice,the bible even showed that he was display some ungodly conducts like stealing. True,judas fulfilled the scriptures,but was God really cause of judas betrayal?nope he chose to. God only gave insight to what will happen. He didn't stage judas. God is love. Any bad thing such as tempting and any other wicked act is not foundin him.

How many times will this issue of jesus been the same person with God go on? I perceive the op of this thread as something personal against JW. Countless of times in the Bible,God and jesus are ALWAYS described as SEPERATE individuals. Most interesting,is that the bible put jesus or paint jesus as been surbodinate to God(image of God not God,1st born of all Creation,Son of God,the one sent by God,etc) Countless of times Jesus himself admitted and testified that the father is greater than he is,he was sent by God,he doesn't do any of his own initiative but of His father's,hmmm,I can go on and on. Yo,op,take ma advice: admit the JW clearly have thrashed u wit the Bible,they've proved their belief from the Bible,and they are Clearly and by far 200% correct. So bingo,or watever ur name is,pls stop hating,accept the truth at least for once in ur entire freaking life.if u got a prob wit JW(whom I know are peace loving) pls sort it out and stop attacking them with stupid,baseless,annoying,unreasonable post and thread. JW's pls take ma advice: ignore this fella and focus on truth loving people of the word of God.

In terms of his certificate,all allegations are baseless because his results have been released from cambrigde and co. So what's the fuss about him not been qualified.

The same jona who reduced fuel price by. 10 when that should have been done and when we had the best oil boom all to deceive us. Who has made 8 billion dollar missing in our treasury,and made us broke.the same man is spending trillion of naira all in the name of winning. I can go on and on. Such a pity we see yet we don't understand
Christianity Etc › Re: Do God Really Know The Future? by joviegghead: 10:39pm On Mar 25, 2015
How many times do I have to explain this? God knows the future. But limits his use of it. But out of his love,he us guidance and the results of following them or not(proving dat he knows the results of what ever choice we make). If God actually knows or look into our future,it will mean 2 things: (1)that he is wicked,it's like a father who knows and see his children getting hurt when he is infact is the one who put them there. (2)and he is encroaching on the gift of free will. Simply put,if he knows our future,it's. means he's heartless because he knows what our actions and choices will be (including the bad ones) and doesn't stop us(how could this be when God himself his love?).Besides,if he were to stop us from every wrong decision we make,it would mean he is controlling us like robots and encroaching on our right to choose as humans. So to avoid these,he limits peering into how future(which is like our privacy)but still out of his love give us guidance leaving us with a choice to follow or not. As for the case of jesus and judas,so as not allow the devil thwart his plans of providing a messiah,he used his power of foresight to forsee,foretell, and protect the lineage of his son jesus,so that his purpose and plan for the world will be accomplished
Christianity Etc › Re: If God Knew Satan, Adam And Eve Would Sin, Why Did He Create Them? by joviegghead: 5:04pm On Mar 25, 2015
Misogynist2014:
This is a two-part question. The first part is “Did God know Satan would rebel and
Adam and Eve would sin?” The answer lies in what the Bible teaches about God’s
knowledge. We know from Scripture that God is omniscient, which literally means “all-
knowing.” Job 37:16 ; Psalm 139:2-4 , 147:5 ; Proverbs 5:21 ; Isaiah 46:9-10 ; and 1 John
3:19-20 leave no doubt that God’s knowledge is infinite and that He knows everything
that has happened in the past, is happening now, and will happen in the future.
Looking at some of the superlatives in these verses—“perfect in knowledge”; “his
understanding has no limit”; “he knows everything”—it is clear that God’s knowledge
is not merely greater than our own, but it is infinitely greater. He knows all things in
totality. Isaiah 46:10 declares He not only knows everything, but He controls
everything as well. How else could He “make known” to us what would happen in the
future and state unequivocally that His plans will come to pass? So, did God know
that Adam and Eve were going to sin? Did He know Lucifer would rebel against Him
and become Satan? Yes! Absolutely! Were they out of His control at any time?
Absolutely not. If God’s knowledge is not perfect, then there is a deficiency in His
nature. Any deficiency in God’s nature means He cannot be God, for God’s very
essence requires the perfection of all His attributes. Therefore, the answer to the first
question must, by necessity, be “yes.”
Moving on to the second part of the question, “Why did God create Satan and Adam
and Eve knowing ahead of time they were going to sin?” This question is a little
trickier because we are asking a “why” question to which the Bible does not usually
provide comprehensive answers. Despite that, we should be able to come to a limited
understanding if we examine some biblical passages. To begin, we have already seen
that God is omniscient and nothing can happen outside of His knowledge. So, if God
knew that Satan would rebel and fall from heaven and that Adam and Eve would sin,
yet He created them anyway, it must mean that the fall of mankind was part of God’s
sovereign plan from the beginning. No other answer makes sense given what we have
been saying thus far.
Now we must be careful to note that Adam and Eve falling into sin does not mean
that God is the author of sin, nor that he tempted Adam and Eve to sin (James 1:13 ).
The fall serves the purpose of God’s overall plan for creation and mankind. This,
again, must be the case, or else the fall of mankind would never have happened.
If we consider what some theologians call the "meta-narrative" (or overarching story
line) of Scripture, we see that biblical history can be roughly divided into three main
sections: 1) paradise (Genesis 1–2 ); 2) paradise lost (Genesis 3 – Revelation 20);
and 3) paradise regained ( Revelation 21–22 ). By far the largest part of the narrative
is devoted to moving from paradise lost to paradise regained. At the center of this
meta-narrative is the cross. The cross was planned from the very beginning ( Acts
2:23 ). It was foreknown and foreordained that Christ would go to the cross and give
His life as a ransom for many ( Matthew 20:28 )—those chosen by God’s foreknowledge
and predestined to be His people (Ephesians 1:4-5 ).
Reading Scripture very carefully and taking what has been said so far, we are led to
the following conclusions:
1. The rebellion of Satan and the fall of mankind were foreknown and foreordained by
God.
2. Those who would become the people of God, the elect, were foreknown and
foreordained by God.
3. The crucifixion of Christ, as atonement for God’s people, was foreknown and
foreordained by God.
So, we are left with the following questions: Why create mankind with the knowledge
of the fall? Why create mankind knowing that only some would be "saved?" Why send
Jesus knowingly to die for a people that knowingly fell into sin? From man’s
perspective, it does not make sense. If the meta-narrative moves from paradise, to
paradise lost, to paradise regained, why not just go straight to paradise regained and
avoid the whole paradise lost interlude?
The only conclusion we can come to, in view of the above assertions, is that God’s
purpose was to create a world in which His glory could be manifest in all its fullness.
The glory of God is the overarching goal of creation. In fact, it is the overarching goal
of everything He does. The universe was created to display God’s glory (Psalm 19:1 ),
and the wrath of God is revealed against those who fail to glorify God (Romans 1:23 ).
Our sin causes us to fall short of God’s glory ( Romans 3:23 ), and in the new heaven
and new earth, the glory of God is what will provide light (Revelation 21:23 ). The glory
of God is manifest when His attributes are on perfect display, and the story of
redemption is part of that.
The best place to see this in Scripture is Romans 9:19-24 . Wrath and mercy display
the riches of God’s glory, and you cannot get either without the fall of mankind.
Therefore, all of these actions—fall, election, redemption, atonement—serve the
purpose of glorifying God. When man fell into sin, God’s mercy was immediately
displayed in not killing him on the spot. God’s patience and forbearance were also on
display as mankind fell deeper into sin prior to the flood. God’s justice and wrath were
on display as He executed judgment during the flood, and God’s mercy and grace
were demonstrated as He saved Noah and his family. God’s wrath and justice will be
revealed in the future when He deals with Satan once and for all ( Revelation 20:7-10 ).
The ultimate exhibition of God’s glory was at the cross where His wrath, justice, and
mercy met. The righteous judgment of all sin was executed at the cross, and God’s
grace was on display in pouring His wrath for sin on His Son, Jesus, instead of on us.
God’s love and grace are on display in those whom He has saved ( John 3:16 ;
Ephesians 2:8-9 ). In the end, God will be glorified as His chosen people worship Him
for all eternity with the angels, and the wicked will also glorify God as His justice and
righteousness will finally be vindicated by the eternal punishment of all unrepentant
sinners (Philippians 2:11 ). None of this could have come to pass without the rebellion
of Satan and the fall of Adam and Eve.
The classic objection to this position is that God’s foreknowledge and foreordination
of the fall damages man’s freedom. In other words, if God created mankind with full
knowledge of the impending fall into sin, how can man be responsible for his sin? The
best answer to this question can be found in the Westminster Confession of Faith
chapter III:
“God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely,
and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so, as thereby neither is God
the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty
or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established” (WFC, III.1)
What this is saying is that God ordains future events in such a way that our freedom
and the working of secondary causes (e.g., laws of nature) are preserved.
Theologians call this “concurrence.” God’s sovereign will flows concurrently with our
free choices in such a way that our free choices always result in the carrying out of
God’s will (by “free choices” we mean that our choices are not coerced by outside
influences).
To summarize, God knew that Satan would rebel and that Adam and Eve would sin in
the Garden of Eden. With that knowledge, God still created Lucifer and Adam and Eve
because creating them and ordaining the fall was part of His sovereign plan to
manifest His glory in all its fullness. Even though the fall was foreknown and
foreordained, our freedom in making choices is not violated because our free choices
are the means by which God’s will is carried out.
With Ifeness Seun Kay17 Davien Xcapizt Cold e.t.c.
it's simple. God knows the future. That was why he told adam and eve the repercussions of eating or not eating the fruit. In addition,God gave dem the opportunity to choose. Simply put,God can look into the future,but limits his use of it because doing so will mean encroaching d gift of free will. It will also mean God is wicked.it's like a father who knows&sees his children get hurt,but does nothing when he his infact the one who put them in that situation. If God were also to interfere,it will mean he's controlling them. So,to avoid tampering with his gift of free will,he simply and lovingly gave all his creatures,like adam and eve,laws and principles along with the repercussions for following or rejecting them.so it was left for adam and eve to choose. Whatever was to be their choice in the future was never looked into by God because doing so will mean he knows their action and never stopped them-making him wicked and uncaring. And if he stopped them- it would mean God was controlling them when tHey should be the one making decisions for themselves cuz they,aren't robots but humans with the right to choose.
