I have always remixed this question in my mind, so i later came into conclusion that, God want don't to feel bias, so he wants us to witness our handy work, so that on the judgement day, it won't be like, "but God, i can't do or can never such a thing why would you have to send me to damnation?" Since we are now on earth and after death and when God is placing man to the right place he belongs, at least you will know by yourself that you really belong to the position assigned to you with any challenging or questioning...

When we won against Athleti did you see me join in on the we will win Champions league or we are now world beaters campaign?

I am cautious with my support and expectations.I know very well what to expect from this team this season and its nothing similar to last season.

Conte already preached humility after the Athleti game and i thought to myself, if only Chelsea NL fans would see things in the same light.

Days like this happen, Conte was cornered tactically, he had nothing new up his sleeves, Pep on the other hand had mesmerized our coach with the fluidity of his set up and we had nothing to counter that. So yes, City are clear winners and it would take only luck to beat them today, they were that good. Anything can still happen when they get their first Bleep and we dey wait that time.

Nothing much to say, hope Alvaro is not out for much long. International break will shave 2 weeks off return date.

Cahill I can agree with,but David Luiz is a very good defender who has occasional brain power save mode effects.

MsNgo40:
Uh...ok.
Not sure why you "needed to confirm", but all's well & you are welcome.

MsNgo40:
Don't know if you are joking or not my brother, but I know it seems odd that I'm unfamiliar with "die by fire". But anyhow, I disagree with whatever it is...with all due respect.
I was not born & raised in Nigeria...but have direct descent through my dad.

superhumanist:
Despite not being an atheist myself, I have always said it that atheists should keep on being outspoken. They do not know who they can touch. It was an atheist that saved me from being a crazy christian fundamentalist. I am now a deist.

Samsimple:
just observing

MsNgo40:
You are correct my brother.
See that's what I can't seem to understand.
The Biblical Christianity that I've been raised in doesn't promote that "die by fire" thing.
Never heard of that concept in my life until I came to NL.
That must be a Nigerian brand of Christianity....
We can never, ever win souls to Christ by being self-righteous & dogmatic all under the guise of being an alleged "warrior for Christ" (meanwhile completely excluding/omitting the Fruit of the Spirit--which is Christ' character) which I see repeatedly in this section of NL. Unfortunately, all I see is a predominate amount of folks who just.....umm...well let me stop and quiet down.
Anyhow, to those who can't see Christ (The Son of God-Christ) in us "followers of Christ"....I apologize. Please don't let that turn you away from attempting to know Who He is and can do in your life.

missyadorable:
Sharp Naija guy has duped you!

He promised to do introduction soon and marry you next year,so that you will feel relaxed and secured to give him such amount of money.

You are lucky you didn't transfer N1million.

Dude might just be using your money to marry another lady!

Relationship is scam!

Either woman scam man or man scam woman

Use your head.How can you give such money to a lover?

Well,hope you learn your lessons.

Next time,Dont show a man that you have money,not such amount of money.
Else same will repeat itself..

bobowaja:
Hmmmmm....... The quote above only shows a small fraction of lies and deceit, they are more and more from whence it came (Bible).

LoJ:
no. I have not yet said who I believe satan is. What I have done is to deconstruct preconceived ideas about satan, and show that even in primitve judeo christian beliefs, satan is no adversary of God. Lucifer is something else, I have not yet spoken about him.

Give me time we will get there. I felt the need to go slowly and sequentially, I dont know why, perhaps for someone out there that needs it.

LoJ:
Shall we continue from whence we stopped.



Indeed, throughout the hebrew bible, the existence of an "emperor" of dark forces is hardly if at all present. It is strongly believed that God is the center of both evil and good, light and darkness.

"I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things." Isaiah 45:7
"shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?" Amos 3:6

The wise Solomon states this in very clear terms:

"Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness." 2 Chronicles 6:1

According to this verse, and numerous others, God's very place of abode is made of thick darkness.

It is only much later, with hellenized christianity, that the idea of a Satan, as the antithesis of God, will be suggested, then imposed. In my personal opinion, the doctrine of "satan" king of Darkness prevailed first and foremost, because it presented a poison, for which the church could easily provide an antidote. Think about the good cop bad cop philosophy.

Come to think of it, satan seems to have almost all the characteristics attributed to God. He seems omnipresent, and quite omnipotent. Whenever a non christian will perform a very powerful feat/miracle, christian will quickly dismiss it as being "from the devil". The matter is so grave, that even christian miracle workers are regularly accused of working with "the devil", or satanic powers. This only translates the fact that in the mind of many, Satan is as powerful, sometimes even more powerful than god. And many are more afraid of him than of god.

The existence of churches that specializes in "delivrance ministry", "spiritual warfare", whereby people are required to fast for tens of days to solve a single simple problem, tells us, how in the mind of most, satan is the real powerful one.

But hey, the invention of satan was a necessary evil for the church. If there was no one to be feared, no attack to run away from, who would be going to church? Who will be paying tithes and offerings, if there was no destroyer? The church exist because of the devil. Do not count on those who benefit from a cause, to suppress that cause for you.

Enough of that. This certainly tells us what satan is not, but does not tell much about what satan is. We will have to look into it in our next installment.
