@ Alariwo

what if my religion encourages homosexuality?

Which Religion?

@cabali

And I think if there isnt a great difference, inwardly and outwardly btwn the worldly and the born again, then God can as well allow sinners into heaven. the bride of christ has to be different from the jezebel look alikes- this is what deeper life have a problem letting youths believe!

who is responsible for putting a great difference, inwardly and outwardly between the born again Christian? is it any Church's doing or God Himself.

CAN'T A MAN DO SOMETHING NICE FOR HIS GIRL

ok, fine, a man can do something nice for his girl, right.

Lets turn the table around, if it was the girl who was doing the money-leaving-behind, how would you see that

and

Honestly, me being in her shoes would tell him to put the money aside and invest it for our future children---

I like your style,  i mean your projections, but i believe Marriage first, yah? as in the children will not just be the result of da flingings

hey, what if he has a wife? would you still be projecting? i mean the children part?

@zahymaka

Seriously -- I have a thing for Asian women. If I don't get Zhang I can always ask Michelle Yeoh or Chingmy Lau out. What do you think?

give me your passport # and i can have you deported to Beijing.

you might need some karate skills especially when you go ask Zhang's parents for her hand. Before her dad decides, he'll give you a round-the-house uppercut with his right-heel. Her mom will do the same with her left-heel.
Boy, if you can still make it and stand up after those two 'ministrations', put your two hands together to your chest, as if you are praying, take a step backwards, take a bow, and say hai-tai-fukih-wah! Zhang is all yours

@baby_boy

what exactly are you thinking!!!!!!!

yup, Seun,

Here are my questions:
- What's the difference between a child, nephew, or friend's child who runs a lot of errands at home and a domestic servant? You know that in our culture children are treated as house helps anyway.
- Have they provided alternative employment for the children under 18 who are currently domestic servants?

all agreed! how about children staying with grandparents?

Worse, employment has not been provided for those above 18, and we're talking those under 18.

Kimba, well i must tell you that almost everything invented for man has its good and evil side.

true, true, true, not just almost everything, but everything. some peeps even take the Bible and preach errors out of it.

Because he/she will try hard to be nice and give a good impression.

In the trying so hard part, manners will leak. Cant you tell if someone is just a desperado at making an impression or being himself or herself, it shows, especially when a little sweat begins to form on the forhead and the top of one's nose.

-----------------------------------

and to all those who want to "authenticate everything in and out of the Bible" before you believe in Jesus, I would like to ask you how many things(not even faith/religion related) have you authenticated. Let me roll out some examples:
- Your Birth certificate, have you authenticated it?
- all the "Jargons" that lecturers spoke about from primary school to Univ level, how many of us left school because we authenticated something that Einstein did not authenticate. Have you just been taking things for granted?
- doctors say an average adult has about 206 bones in his/her body. Pls can you count all the bones in your body and see if they measure up or perhaps you got some extras? You could be the next superman, you never know,

pls post your results on NL, for the benefit of us all.

let God be true, but every man a liar

@my2cents

Finally, on my way to work this morning, these thoughts crossed my mind - Why did this news crop up during easter? Why don't we hear of other documents cropping up in other religions? It always seems like people are trying their hardest to rubbish christianity.

My bros, na true, why during easter. Abeg leave them, they'll rubbish themselves in the end!

@tamia

i tho't these things happened only in movies! so do people really give u stuff to eat n u start loving them? puh-leeze that is bogus!

You know Nigerians always excel wellu wellu in bad bad things.

theres this one i heard about, a true story, a guy that liked a girl, tried his best to win her affection and she didnt budge. He tried all the avenues he could, she said no. The guy got angry that he had been despised, went to native docs and did 'magun' on her(without her knowledge). Magun is a yoruba word, meaning 'dont climb.

At the end of the day, she finally found herself the sweetheart she wanted, cutting the long story short, she and her new guy got married, but sorry to say, her new husband died the next morning after the wedding(in his sleep). She then receives an anonymous note from the first suitor guy, that she has been cursed with magun. The mental torture, pain, despair has turned her almost to a broom-stick. Till today, shes not married.

Thats Nigeria for you!!!!

does anyone know pls,

whats the Nationality of Pastor Chris' wife?

@ desiree

(I'm talking large!!!) in hidden places in her apartment after . She feels really embarrassed about this and told him to stop since she is financially independent herself.

ONE
the part that interests me is that the guy goes all the way to place the large cash in "hidden places". I begin to think "did he expect her to find the cash and say to herself - o i forgot i left some money here" or what?,

and as your friend has informed her lovey-dovey to stop the cash droppings, and he has not stopped, what has she done about it? has she discussed it with him? whats his motive of all the cash?

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
methinks, besides all the pay-for-sex views that has been aired,
- some peeps might "just have such a nature", and should they pick an interest in you(nothing about intimacy involved), they feel that the only way to show their friendship/appreciation of your friendship is by giving you some cash, on the other hand, they totally forget that you might get embarrassed about their action, and if you show your embarrasment, they take it that you dont appreciate to have them as friends.

I have some info on such,

but as your friends case is, when the bed part is involved, we gotta take a deeper look into the matter,

advice - tell her to find out who his friends are, as in to know whether thats his normal nature.

The Resurrection

The Son of God was crucified on Calvary,
wrapped in 'clean linen', in a tomb He was laid.
So many people wept and watched afar of
as the soldiers sealed His grave with a stone.
They thought it couldn't be rolled away.

'On the first day of the week', in the early morn,
just at the rising of the Sun,
the women arose to go to His grave
taking with them 'sweet spices'
and wondering who would roll the stone away.

They had been watching the tomb,
some 'sons of Belial'.
They wanted to make sure He would not rise,
but when 'Gods Angel descended',
they became as dead men,
for 'His countenance was as lighting,
his garments, white as snow,
He came and rolled the stone away.

"He is risen, He is not here",
the Angel said, showing the women where He had lain,
the empty grave and the grave clothes,
The Son of God was not there,
for the stone had been rolled away.

He arose, the grave couldn't hold Him.
death has no power over The Divine,
the plan of Salvation, totally completed.
Jesus arose, He gave us victory
Today, that stone is till rolled away.

JESUS IS THE EASTER MESSAGE!!!

i know that 1 + 1 is not equal to 2!, that it was a problem the greatest Mathematicians could not solve, and that since they coudn't solve it, they wont be able to solve any other mathematics problem, so they just had to agree among themselves to make 1 + 1 = 2, and from there move ahead.

Kim

that the Bible says that the Wife should submit to her husband doesnt mean she should become a slave or whatever. If there is Love in a marriage, there'll be respect. The wife will respect her husband, the husband will respect his wife.

Its like two hands, washing each other clean.

Nairaland, Nairaland,

he said he 'runs sites'- like Nairaland,
he is the LandLord of Nairaland.
He never fails to be online,

just a little update, from the Landlord of Nairaland

Its the place where the Naira mind is talking,
views on this, views on that

I just decided to check if there was any new topic,
I didnt know when one hour zoomed past
I wont bother, as long as its Nairaland!

@xphanti

there are quite a lot of things you can learn from watching TV, the TV can also corrupt a child but if properly monitored there are so many harmless programmes to watch.

Agreed!!!!

but the problem part is the "proper monitoring", which the parents dont do, not because they might not have wanted to do it, but because of a simple reason as "they do not have the time", since theyve gotta make 2ends meet for the Child.

The TV is not bad itself, the internet is worse, there a 1001 bad things out there, not even related to TV. But on the control aspect, thats where the church came in, someone said: whatever you dont kill will eventually kill you!!!

funny tho,

i am disciplined person. i noticed one thing when i got to the university, quite a lot of children who ran wild were those who were not given freedom at home. smoking, drinking, partying like it is going out of fashion,having boyfriends or girlfriends, weeding

so smoking and weeding are part of fun?
How many have died as a result of such fun and will die because of lung cancer? are they having fun living on drugs?

too much fun in childhood reduces the amount of fun later in life, it might even cut the life short!!

@damygirl

on tv they did a show on how this guy came accross stuff to make him believe jesus got a human/earthly father

not only you, I once read a book about a group of people who believe they are the descendants of Jesus, and they have a complete history, who his wife was, etc, his son, his grandson etc.,

on a more serious note:

@joftech,

At times what you know may not be the truth, just accept new truths as they emerge.

Sorry brother, if you are the kind of person that accepts truth as they emerge, you are on a wrong track.

My reason why i stand where Jesus stands is because ive proved Him to be true. I'm talking "experiential", not just because someone told me.
God is my father,
Jesus is my brother
and the blessed Holy-Spirit is my guide,
the devil aint no relation,
because im a new creation
and a member of the family of the Lord!!
thats my song bro, 24/7

Ok? so maybe you could go ahead and experience Judas first, then come tell us the testimony of how Judas saved your soul, after he betrayed Jesus Christ, right.

See me here, its plain logic, If Judas played the valuable role that was described in the article for which you are a proponent, then you are telling me that Judas played a valuable role in the salvation of man. Isnt that awfully wrong?. The Bible prophesied that a man will betray Jesus. Judas's name wasnt specifically mentioned in any of the Prophesies, meaning, it could have been any man. It wasnt also mentioned in any of the prophecies that Jesus was going to pick-out the man to betray him.
Remember, it could have been any man. It could have been Peter, James, John or someone else, extra-close to Jesus if they had surrendered their heart to evil, if they had lusted after money or allowed greed to overcome their lives. The fact is, it could have been any man, and it just happened to be Judas,

If you believe in your msnbc article, saying that Jesus called Judas aside, got him interested in a death mission, gave him a Jesus only assignment(because God the Father and the Holy spirit were not in agreement, as per your article), then you are saying that all the prophets that prophesied that Jesus would be betrayed 'by someone' didnt actually get the picture right. Maybe they were liers? maybe the prophecies were not true? that Judas 'helped Jesus to die?'If those prophets did not get the prophecy regarding Jesus to be true, then we can't believe all their other prophecies then. It just means that you don't even believe in the creation - in summary that the Bible is not true. This is all you are saying?

Okay Jagunlabi heres the deal: tell me the truth- Leave the msnbc and their manuscript aside, leave the faceless author aside, leave the scholars aside, leave Judas aside, he is dead anyway(but Jesus is alive) , but please, tell me the truth, the truth that you can say you have personally proved.

If you have nothing you have proved to be true and you believe in, nothing to be your driving passion, O Boy, you aint living yet!!Whether Jesus, Satan, whoever: star, moon, stone, please tell me.

@jagunlabi, and the Judas crew (sorry, i couldnt find a better adjective)
Can you please show me a person who was righttfully named Judas?
Can you change your name to Judas, i can help you with a birth-certificate.
Why do people despise his name if Judas did something right. ?
How many times were you, or anyone encouraged to be like Judas, ? At least Bill gates has people named after him. People even bear the name Jesus, how many Judas purposeful people are there?

@jagunlabi, some peeps say http://www.thegodmovie.com/
dont you have a problem with them, at least you believe that Jesus existed but that Judas didnt actually betray Him.

Peace Bro, nothing personal, just wanting to tell you the truth!!!!

@jagunlabi

because i can see that you're one of the numerous folks who walk in darkness of ignorance and you need some enlightenment. Your reaction is expected,as it is symptomatic of the average religious person.You're on the defensive,and you will remain there,as more buried truths about the mainstream christianity continue seeping out.

Thank you sir. I prefer to be ignorant and be where Jesus is than to have all the knowledge i need, believing truths that emerge from the blues and miss-out at the end.

Do i need to do that?It is not a fault of mine if you can't accept new findings about christianity.

which new findings? that Judas did not Betray Jesus
where did the new findings emerge? @jagunlabi@nairaland <- msnbc <- some scholars  
how sure are you its the truth? since some scholars said on msnbc that they found a manuscript written by a questionable scholar, and passed down to a questionable scholar, etc
Yes, one mans meat is another mans poison, but my brother, this meat you are holding on to and about to eat is a sure poison for your soul. Reason- no man has benefitted by eating such meat.
There are a whole lot of people, (and I have too many testimonies and examples that Nairaland cannot handle) that have benefitted from the meat ive eaten and which has been keeping me fat and strong - Jesus!!!

Are you a theology scholar?Do you decipher what is true from what is false through the learned eye of a scholar,or just from the prejudiced misconception of an ordinary christian?

Nope, im not a theological scholar. I just read my Bible and Jesus promise came true, that the Holy Spirit will guide me into all truth. A theology scholar without Jesus is nothing but a scholar, not a Child of God.

Do you really see evidences of foul play,or you're just running scared that the comfortable religious boat that you have been riding is about to get rocked with the real truths that have been bubbling under the surface for a long time now?You sound really scared,but you need not be.The real Jesus must be made known to mankind,and the lies must be brought to a halt.

- Jagunlabi, who told you there is a truth in the news you read online? I wonder how people accept things at face-value. Under which surface have they been bubbling.

Yes, all the lies must be brought to a halt. The real Jesus REVEALED Himself thousands of years ago, HAS BEEN REVEALING HIMSELF since then to those who have cared to listen, and WILL STILL REVEAL HIMSELF to any God-searching soul. Yes, im riding with Jesus in His boat. I Pray He reveals Himself to you!!

Events that will do that will continue to unfold,so tighten your seat belt

Yes, even the Bible tells us that many events will still unfold, so my seatbelt is tightened and im not ready to be rocked, because i stand firm on Jesus the rock.

@jagunlabi,

o boy, on whose side are you. are you on the side of Jesus or Judas?

Why are you preaching to me,now?This is a forum and not a church.now.State you own opinion on the issue.I doneed the preaching.I get enough of that during services.

Quote from: owo on Today at 02:56:08 PM
@Jagunlabi
who ever betrayed Jesus (or not) may seem to be a big issue until you consider the other side of the same coin, which is that, Jesus actually died on the behalf of all men (including you).

What have you done with that death?
Have you benefited from the great sacrifice that he made?
Is your heart cleansed and purified by him?
Are you God's son?

Think about these things, your life here and in eternity is at stake.

Please, jagunlabi, which services are you talking about? is it a Bible-believing Christian Church setting?
You sort of confuse me, my brother.

You dont want "owo" to preach to you all-those-things-you-usually-hear-during-services and yet you come to Nairaland introducing the gospel of Judas, or maybe you meant that you were attending some judas-gospel-related services and yet, they talk about Christ?

Pls explain yourself.

@misslady,

No. Not all men cheat on their wives.
Cheating is not peculiar to nigerians

A reason I suppose why men cheat on their wives is because there are always women who would agree with a man to be a casual,

The wives of other men, secretaries and the likes of women whom married men cheat with are also to blame,
if there are no ears to listen to gossips, there'll be no mouths to talk gossips

Birds of the same feather will find themselves. Mind you, a lot of women cheat too.

I remember once, a neighbor of mine, a couple with 2kids started fighting one very early sunday morning, like 3am, thats when i started hearing arguments. I never heard such foul words from husband to wife before in my whole life. Till morning, the argument continued and about 5am, they pulled themselves outside, with the husband slapping the wife and the wife slapping the husband etc.,, all because the husband wanted to have sex with his wife the night before only to discover her tummy was just a little protuded for it to be a normal food-filled belle. Neigbors had to interfere, The man accuses the woman of sleeping with an Alhaji who gives her money, the woman accuses the husband of sleeping with prostitutes and another woman who owns a restaurant. Wonderfully, both of them had hard-evidences, twas a case of, they had been playing house,

now, in the case of the woman, who cheated? can we accuse the supposed Alhaji of cheating on his Alhaja. Did he do it with a goat or with a human being? somebody also has to blame,

and FYI, its more rampant nowadays to find married men cheating with other married women, not even with singles,

hhmmmm

potions and charms, they are the same. The one i heard of is about someone who used a charm on this guy(that she liked, but who didnt like her), and the guy did not know what he was doing until he married her.

Nigerian guys in America trying so hard to be gangsta = abeg, leave them alone, they are just wannabees,

worse, the ones here in Nigeria. You see, with the level of sunshine and heat here, imagine someone, around 2pm wearing this an oversized t-shirt, low-waste level baggy jeans which he has to hold with his hands at the front, timbaland boots, and then a half zipped-up heavy jacket(like the one worn during snow season, a headband, and a dog-chain on his neck.

they may be around two guys dressed that way, and walking as if their hips were dislocated. they might be talking together and then they are gyrating as if their hands want to break into two. worse, suppose they had their own car, we would have said, o boy, this guys are hot o, but they poor boys are still taking okada.

I just smile and wonder how the devil could be punishing some people. Their role models are hiphop starts and the european and american ganstas,and those kind of clothing are not fit for this our kind of weather, but my bobos here will still wear it regardless of the personal discomfort, as long as they wannabe
