Maynman:
You are a BELIEVER indeed.
“Hell” is an English word, did jesus speak English?
Was New Testament originally written in English?

Is the story of the virgins with lamps a parable or not?

The parable of the ten virgins is not under contest. I insist the rich man and Lazarus story is not a parable because in parable, you don't mention actual names.

Tell me any parable in the Bible where Jesus mentioned names.

Besides, Jesus used different words to describe the place of torment. He did not just use the word hell.

In a place, he called it a fire that shall never be quenched.

In another place, he used the word furnace of fire.

Yet in another parable, he called it outer darkness.

In addition, he described the kind of pains they will go through.

He said, they will weep and gnash their teeth.

In another place, he said they will wail and gnash their teeth.

And it is the lost souls that goes there.

If you don't want to believe it, you will when you get there. But it will be too late to repent.

They are trying in vain to cause chaos as the losers that they are. But no one is interested in bringing disturbance when there is enough problem in the land. Make una give up, chop big Eba and sleep off the pain.

If I steal your phone under your nose, will you let me go with it? Please, be honest with your answer.

Dear Nairalanders, What was the greatest lesson for you in this election ?

1. Most of our leaders are shameless thieves.
2. Most followers are endorsing criminals.
3. INEC compromised.
4. Some of our Governors are shameless criminals.
5. Some of our security personnel compromised.
6. People love money more than they love their soul. Those who sold their votes are selling their future.
7. The facts of who won the election is not hidden.
8. The rules of the electoral laws were not followed.

Above all, hope is not lost for Peter Obi. There are too many evidences to reclaim his mandate.

Kobonaire4:
Here is a thought. 13.1 million people did not vote for APC, out of the 21 m who did vote.

If those 13.1 million people had voted for one party, APC would have been voted out. But because they voted for 3 different parties, the votes got divided, and APC won the election.

The truth is, APC lost this election. Most Nigerians did not vote for them, nor do they like them. But they won because Atiku and Peter Obi and Kwankwaso and Wike could not at the very least compromise with each other.

That is the sad cold truth. A disunited opposition loses the election.

Like I said, APC did not win this election, the opposition lost it.

Useless analysis. You will see the real results very soon. Peter Obi's vote is more than the total votes of all the other parties put together.

Kobojunkie:
Again....Wow.....a parable told by Jesus Christ is meant to be read literally? Do we also take it that you believe the parable of the 10 virgins literally took place then.. the bridegroom already came for them and the 5 foolish virgins who were left behind are us?

There was nothing probable about that contained in the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus. If you know the teachings of Jesus Christ well, you would know this.

I see religion has all but screwed you up to the point that you go around casting Jesus Christ as a liar even as you continue to claim you believe in Him.

The rich man and Lazarus story is not a parable. Besides, the story is consistent with other parts of the Scripture that reveals the reality of hell.

You don’t make parables with something that cannot happen in reality. All the parable Jesus made are events that could actually happen in reality.

So don't use the word parable to sweep the truth under carper.

Our Lord Jesus is not a drunkard to imagine something that is not real. He did not have high fever when he said it.

But in actual sense, the story of the rich man and Lazarus is not a parable. In parable, you don't mention specific names or character.

Show me any other parable in the Bible where specific names or characters were mentioned. There is none.

Jesus knew what happened in the past by the gift of the word of knowledge just like he knew that the Samaritan woman had five husbands in the past.

ImoleNaija:
May Tinubu's reign favour us all.

He will not smell that seat. Peter Obi is our next president. Please, save this post.

How To Use God's Word As A Weapon In Spiritual Warfare - 1.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom RESIST STEADFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world." (1st Peter 8-9).

Yesterday, we introduced the first weapon of our warfare which is God's word. Apostle Paul calls it the sword of the Spirit. Every fighter who uses a sword to fight must be well trained on how to handle it if he wants to stand the chance of winning.

In the same sense, you must know how to use the word of God to engage in spiritual battles. The first way to use God's word is to RESIST THE DEVIL with it. The devil usually comes with suggestions primarily to weaken your faith or influence you to take the wrong decision that could ruin your life.

When our Lord Jesus was tempted after his forty day fast, the devil said to him; "...If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread." (Matthew 4:3). But our Lord Jesus responded; "...It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4).

This is how to resist the devil. But the devil doesn't give up so easily. He came again with other suggestions. But each time he did that, the response of our Lord was still the same. He quoted what the word of God says concerning the situation. And the devil eventually left him for a season. There were other temptations our Lord Jesus faced that were not recorded but in all, he overcame.

So, whenever you receive suggestions that is not consistent with God's word, know that it's coming from the devil. Immediately counter it with what the word of God says. Bring it under subjection to the obedience of Christ. It's important to mention here that the devil knows the word of God too. He even quoted God's word when he tempted our Lord Jesus. But he did it out of context as it was not in harmony with other parts of the Scripture.

So, if the devil for instance tells you that you are going to die, tell him that it is written, 'I shall live and not die'. Resist him with the word of God at all times. This is why it's imperative you study God's word voraciously so you will be well acquainted with your rights in Christ. Ignorance of your rights in Christ puts you in a disadvantage position when you engage in spiritual battles.

Be so full of God's word that it will beg for expression through your lips. Thus, the scripture says; "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Colossians 3:16). And as you speak it in faith to resist the devil, he will certainly flee from you.

Prayer: Holy God, I thank you for watching over me through the night. And I am glad for the opportunity to witness a brand new day. I resist every evil suggestions from the wicked one in the mighty name of Jesus. I commit my day into your mighty hands and I trust that you will deliver me from the evil one. I also declare that my needs are met according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Further Study: Luke 4:1-13, 2nd Corinthians 10:3-5, James 4:7.

firefox4th:
✝ 2 Chronicles 20:23

"For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another."

Up 🖕is the summary of what transpired in 2023 Nigeria's Presidential Election. We had a situation whereby three big political figures( from same parents) ,in PDP, NNPP and LP came against APC inorder to utterly destroy it but alas, they ended up destroying themselves, while their target emerged victorious !! Is this not wonderful ??

You are a criminal. You dine with criminals and you are defending criminals. You will receive the punishment that is due to criminals. Pathetic liar.

Kobojunkie:
According to Jesus Christ, no one wakes up in Hell after death. Hell will not be open for business until Jesus Christ returns and judges the sheep and goats among His flock. So, my friend, you should abandon all the tales your head is currently chuck full of right now, go back to that book, and read it for yourself as though your life depended on it so you learn the Truth from all the lies you have previously been indoctrinated with before this point in time.

The rich man went to hell immediately after death. He did not wait for the return of Jesus.

Jonah was also in hell for the three days his body was in the belly of the fish.

Doveheart:
Men of God in the house, what's your take on this. Is it only when a couple is joined together by a cleric or a servant of God that a man and a woman can become husband and wife

To a large extent, he is correct.

Your Pastor has a measure of spiritual authority over your life and you are expected to submit to authorities placed over you.

In just the way you can't get married without the approval of your biological father, no responsible member of a church would get married without the involvement and blessing of his Pastor.

Doing so is acting like a sheep without a shepherd.

This thread made my day. I am sure Tinubu and his gangs of criminals will be sweating now inside AC. God will expose them all in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

He can't force himself on us.

David160:
Tinubu will not be sworn in 😂😂

Results were not transmitted from. Polling unit.. A clear violation of electoral act.

No 25% in THE FCT

Clear rigging in Rivers .

Over rigging. This people should be in jail if it was a sane country.

princeade86:
Rerun must happen. Atiku vs Tinubu

For your mind. When the votes of both of them put together is not up to Peter Obi vote. We will prove it in court.

Criminalality must end in Nigeria.

ekolobaba:
Ewu Gambia. I don’t think you understand the post.

It’s slavery to your white god not democrats. You don’t know who Soros is, anuofia.

If Obi win, you go suffer for another 50 yrs, anu mpama

I think it's the other way around. Your brain needs to be refixed. You are thinking upside down.

ImoleNaija:
Those who had such info before the election & still kept it away from the public are the ones to blame. It's like crying over a spilt milk.

Those who had them are those who rigged the election. So, how could they have exposed themselves. But thank God that they were later exposed through investigation.

This is the way you should see it.

mikelopez:
This is pure open daylight robbery

They can NEVER escape this rigging

The youths are coming for them

It will happen so fast that they will not be able to escape

Massive Nationwide riots loading

Just wait for INEC to announce the results

220,000,000 people and how many soldiers do we have in the arm forces less than 5,000,000.

The security forces can NEVER crush over 220,000,000 Nigerians

Let that sink

I know it's hurting but we should avoid violence. There are enough evidences to make a case.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
I hope he would also ask the court to force inec to declare him without him making 25% in Abuja after all the rigging

This is where they got hooked. They didn't see it coming. May God's blessings rest mightily upon the INEC chairman of FCT. He refused to compromise the result.

ManirBK:
I think this is best election so far and the collation process was free fair and credible. The out come of the results has not go against any candidate but fair to them. Imerging Peter Obi won Lagos state, if that should be the case tinubu would have proceed to react over compromise. Inec should proceed and announce Jagaban as the winner period

You know too well that you are lying to your teeth. The court will expose you all. You think this is 2015. Someone who was beaten in a state he claimed to be his strongholds.

INEC was afraid to give Lagos to Tinubu because they know the crises that will erupt.

So, they just added to his vote so that he will not feel the pain of defeat too much.

BlessedOne01:
Sweet Victory!

Wike na man you be!

Congratulations to our incoming Jagaban!

Congratulations to our President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima!

GOD bless Nigeria!

Renewed Hope 2023!

BATified 2023!

The number of likes on this post reveals part of the numbers of criminals we have on Nairaland. Celebrating criminals.

PresidentAtiku:
Hahahahahahaha

The funniest occurrence in 2023

APC, Tinubu, INEC and Wike are all Stupid

Expect the mother of protests in PH

They are criminals parading themselves as leaders. With these kind of people, there is no hope for Nigeria. But they will all be retired very soon.

Evidences that Peter Obi won Rivers state by a very wide margin is available.

BentizilL:
Don't cry yet pls, bucket will be provided at designated area tomorrow...

Asiwaju is coming.

Never. Mark my word. Never

HenryThegreat1:
Medicine after dead. The deal had been done.
Let's move on. If Buhari couldn't conduct free, fair and credible elections will Tinubu do? Only God can save Nigerians from Tinubu...

Which deal has been done?

jchioma:
I hope INEC will not be unfortunate to declare a winner unless the people's will and choices are respected and reflected in these results. Most people are just waiting before taking steps to do the needful. You cannot impose upon the people what they have rejected wholeheartedly.

It will not happen in Jesus name. They are tasking the people's patient. Plus the fuel and naira scarcity.

Offpoint1:
Let's us be calm until the winner is announced.

If dem refuse make God use dem we go let devil use us...

Make the arm forces order for more ammunitions because "dem go kill us tire"


He lose his home, lose his adopted home and lose the FCT una wan make us believe sey na him win election... Where in the history of Nigeria has that ever happened?

Never. This points to the fact that most of the states results were manipulated.

We want to see the results in the server. Period. Anything short of this will not be accepted.

You can't rule people who don't want you.

DMerciful:
APC got less than 25%. Rerun

What are the rules for a rerun? Maybe, they forgot to up his figure to 25%. This is where God caught them.

toyflare:
If you read the article you will know the OP cannot read and comprehend.

He explained that while the collation of results would “essentially” be done manually, where there was a dispute regarding a collated result or the result from any polling unit, the collation or returning officer would use the original of the disputed collated result, accreditation data from the BVAS device and the results transmitted directly from the polling unit to determine the correctness of the result.

Results can be collected manually but the BVAS data must be uploaded directly from the polling units and available to Nigerians to see in real time, meaning people can see the results on INECs portal immediately voting is completed. This is where they failed, results were not uploaded at the polling units but were taken to where ever they wanted and manipulated before being uploaded. Some are not yet uploaded even till now.

The electoral act states that such results be cancelled.

I don’t think they actually read it before signing it into law

This time, it won't be business as usual. They will all be disgraced and hide their heads in shame. Generation of leaders teaching the younger generation how to cheat. No wonder some of them forged their certificates.

ogologoamu:
Pls bring your calculator and calculate the circled figures.

INEC na fraud.

Maybe it was calculated in base 5. Wonders shall never end.

Fut9ure:
Inec think they are smart..same thing is supposed to happen in all south south state and south east state..we rejected him here in Edo state...


Tinubu will never be our president

South west got no reason to claim anymore that they are the most educated...this election open their yansh well.

The four major contestants were from the three major tribe
So it means we the South South are the one to choose the most suitable for Nigeria without biased because they are not our brothers
And we chose choose obi but due to tribalism the South west refused and supported a man who is sick mentally and physically...national anthem was going on he wasn't Aware

If you can't handover your daughter or sister for Marriage to a sick old man with dementia not physically and mentally fit. Some one not aware of his environment but still you want to support same man to head 220 million Nigeria at this point of our critical situation then may you and your family know no peace


If you are emotionally attached to your tribe, religion and political leaning to the point that the truth and justice becomes secondary consideration then your education is useless, your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments. You are liability to man kind

Everyone should retweet and save this so that our future kids will know that at some point in the history of Nigeria we were caught in between the Devil( tinubu, atiku) and redemption( obi)
But the South west spoilt dragged us back because of tribalism

Every sane Nigeria should look at this and read a meaning to it
1) Tinubu political party and administration is ruling but he was unable to win Abuja where them sit down put
2) his own state of origin osun. Even a twelve year old will win thier own state yet he was unable to win

3) all development in lagos is attributed to Tinubu and he is regarded as the father of lagos yet he was unable to win

Nigerians should put on thier conscience and see that tinubu was rejected completely by Nigerians

Half truth is no truth. They want to use a few states to show that Labour Party also won. Nonesense.

#cancelthepresidentialelection

wealthcome111:
Exactly. That is why he has been declared the winner. Beer parlour comment.

The evidences are there. It will be proven beyond reasonable doubts. Terrible things will happen to all who want to steal the mandate of Peter Obi. God is not sleeping.

1Alex:
Broad daylight robbery

What are they teaching the new generation of leaders?

How to steal?

Shameless leaders.

No wonder we are tagged 'third world nation'

Corrupt and evil minds.

TruthsFM:
rubbish talk, there will never be interim government in Nigeria politics. Atiku Abubakar wins February 25th presidential poll and he will be swear in on May 29th by the special Grace of Almighty God

Which Atiku? Tinubu plus Atiku Vote put together is not up to that of Peter Obi.
