Ogbuefi2020: The fulani terrorists are powerless cowards. They can only kill unarmed people unawares. When you arm up and face them they flee like chickens and call Nigerian Army
You are very correct. If not for federal government back up, Fulani would no dare host communities
Ihedinobi3: 1.0 Introduction: The Excellence of the Gospel You believe that Jesus Christ -- God Who put on humanity to become one of us -- died for your sins. Hallelujah! You're a Christian, a child of God entitled to a share in His Eternal Wealth. This is the most important thing in the world.
If you managed to build an empire like Alexander’s Greek wonder or acquire wealth the size of Jeff Bezos's or gain the strength of Samson or the beauty of a lily or attain the wisdom of Solomon, it would amount to exactly nothing if you are not one of God's children. Everything in this world fades or crumbles to dust eventually. Even we who work so hard to acquire those things inevitably die. So the best we can have without God's adoption of us as His children is a few short years of reckless pleasure and then death.
It is rather easy to be glib about death when anyone makes the choice to devote their earthly lives to the pursuit of sensual pleasure, but the reality of death is always remote until we are right on the brink of it. It is in that moment when we know that we will actually die that the reality of the meaninglessness of such a pursuit weighs on us like a leaden anchor.
Those who have chosen to believe in Jesus Christ have by definition dismissed the standards of this world and chosen to pursue the wealth and pleasures of the world to come. Of course, this is not always how it plays out practically. In fact, most Christians refuse to make a clean break with this world's cares and pleasures. Nor is there ever a perfect Christian who has not or will not occasionally fall prey to this world's seductions and threats (James 3:2). Regardless of this, a Christian is at core a person who has rejected this world in favor of the one that God promises.
As such, Christians are also by definition people who do not fear death. Death is for them just a transition from this world of pain to a better state of existence. So the choice to be a Christian is actually the whole point of human existence here on earth. That you made it means that you have justified your own existence on this planet. Good for you.
That choice to be a Christian, however, is only the beginning of a journey. It is because of that journey that this choice is so important. When we fail to pursue that journey, the choice to be a Christian becomes almost a mockery even if it is still an infinitely better choice than the one to remain opposed to God.
Janosky: Who is the Moderator of Religion Section of Nairaland? Why would the Moderator sit back and watch shady, fraudulent, dubious individuals on this forum REMOVE and DUBIOUSLY USE Janosky moniker or other monikers to post FALSE claims?
The Moderator,Mr OAM4J,or whatever moniker you bear on this forum, do you approve of your moniker (or Janosky moniker in screenshot ) to being used by someone else,Mr Courz to post their FALSE claims on this forum? Since 11th June,@11:31pm, and thereafter,Mr Courz have been carrying out his fraudulent activities on other moniker's post. I demand an explanation for your tacit approval or permissiveness of the shenanigans of Mr Courz moniker on this forum.
In addition,I demand an explanation why evidences of proven medical research are REMOVED by the Moderator of Religion Section? Why is the Moderator of Nairaland against proven screenshot evidences of medical research ?
Competent and very professional medical personnel respect JWs beliefs (proven in the screenshot),Mr Moderator, why do you disrespect JW beliefs by REMOVING my posts with proven evidences? [/b]
.
" Who is the Moderator of Religion Section of Nairaland?
Janosky don dey ask for moderator to come and help im
Nigerian court are more interested in your money, so if you have the money, nobody will be considering this thing. Oga check very well, you'll see that what are written in papers ( the rules) are completely different from what is being practice....
"and my people love to have it so"
*. Jeremiah 5:31 " KJV:The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"
AntiChristian: Number 1 God rested from work! Genesis 2:2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
Note: Resting is a function of fatigue/tiredness! And i think God is above such!
Number 2- God Regrets making Man Gen 6:6 And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
1 Samuel 15:11 " I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions." And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all that night.
Note: Regretting is a human action caused by him not knowing the future. God knows all things so why would He regret!
Number 3- God Repents Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
VS Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
God repents but God can not repent! What a contradiction!
Other Poor descriptions of God in the Bible
1. Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine. Psalm 78:65 2. Wake up, O Lord!Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever. Psalm 44:23 3. Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form. Psalm 73:20 4. The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a warrior. He shouts; yes, He roars in triumph over His enemies: Isaiah 42:13 5. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon? Isaiah 51:9
All these are unbefitting to be ascribed to God as He suffers no fatigue, does not sleep, eat or drink.
You can't understand many things in the Bible.... but we'll try to put it straight ( not for you probably)
It says God finished what He intended to do... No other words for the action that follows work done than the word rest...
If rest is not the right word to be used after work is finished, then you can do well to tell us the right word to be used...
You have to understand that all the things said about God is according to human understanding...
For example, I believe your religion also agree that God created all things, right.
When you talk about create/produce/made human mind will go to workshop/factory/company... spanner, screw driver, etcetera..
When we talk about God producing any thing, we don't think about workshop/factory/company... spanner, screw driver, etcetera..
God is truly " the greater than what people say". That is what we call Him!
This kind of your mind that when we say God has a son, then you start to feel like He must also have a wife, have intercourse, it's wrong, ok.
If not that I have somewhat understanding of how the Holy Spirit works, I would have said you had read the legendary " the Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan...
But I know it's possible you might not have read it or even heard of it.
Janosky: Sifia pains and tantrums. SERVE is not Worship, contrary to the false claim of your 3 deities devotees comrade. Continue WAILING.
Your KNOWMORE56 friend FALSE claim: "SERVE means WORSHIP @ John 12:26. Una dey the same boat- Any where belle face.
*. Matthew 4:10 "KJV:Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve ."
"him (God) only shalt thou serve ." or "him only shalt thou minister to"
*. John 12:26 "KJV:If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man SERVE ME, him will my Father honour " let's analyse the two statements below:
AntiChristian: What does begotten mean in your dictionary?
Begotten in his watch tower dictionary means "privilege" " only begotten" means special privilege!
Janosky:
That expression "Only begotten" refers to special privilege of Favor given to only Isaac among all Abraham's offspring. Jesus Christ is given the special, unique favor of sitting at God's right hand in heaven and sit on his Father's throne, Revelation 3:21 & Acts 2:32-36.
Janosky: John 7:16, Jesus Christ is his Father's Messenger. When you receive the Messenger you have seen his God who sent him.
Shebi John 5:37 dey your Bible?
But if you worship the messager you are not worshipping his God who sent him kwo?
John 12:26 "KJV:If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour."
Why your intelligence be like this. We know the Bible translations produced by your religious leaders are not based on preconceived thoughts. The reason you go about telling us that Matthew 24:45-47 is about your religious leaders
MaxInDHouse: Jesus said there's just one only true God {Mark 12:29} and that's the person who sent him to us {John 17:3} Stephen saw only two persons {Act 7:56} and those are the only two persons David saw in vision! Psalms 110:1 So i don't know anything called TRINITY in my own copy of the Bible!
Are you saying the below is not in your own copy of the Bible? Check again:
The Word is life... The Spirit is life... The Word is the Spirit... The Spirit is God.... God is the Spirit...:
*. John 1: 4 " KJV:In him (the Word) was LIFE ; and the life was the light of men."
*. John 6:63 "KJV:It is the spirit that quickeneth (gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit , and they are life ."
*. Acts 17:25 "KJV:Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he (God) giveth to all LIFE, and breath, and all things;"
*. John 4: 24 " KJV: God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
*. 2 Corinthians 3: 6 " KJV:Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth LIFE ."
*. Colossians 3:4 " KJV:When Christ, who is our LIFE, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."
*. 1 John 1:2 " KJV: (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal LIFE, which was with the Father , and was manifested unto uswink"
*. 1 John 5:20 " KJV:And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal LIFE
Janosky: Everyone is begotten by God through Creation. God is the Father to whom everyone owes the name they bear, Ephesians 3:14-15. Trinitarians confused the meaning of begotten by falsely claiming "Jesus is not created but generated" Whereas, "Generated is synonymous with "Created" How ever, "Only begotten" is applied to Isaac & Jesus Christ @ John 3:16 & Hebrew 11:17-19. That expression "Only begotten" refers to special privilege of Favor given to only Isaac among all Abraham's offspring. Jesus Christ is given the special, unique favor of sitting at God's right hand in heaven and sit on his Father's throne, Revelation 3:21 & Acts 2:32-36.
Oga, no be so. God begotted man by Creation not reproduction. Psalm 90:2," God born the mountains". God was never pregnant.Shey you understand?
"...That expression "Only begotten" refers to special privilege of Favor..."
Hmmm, watch tower don come and again oo!
So begotten no longer mean created/ generated ba ?
Janosky: Jesus is a Creature before his ONLY begotten status. Only a Creature can be "only begotten"
True!... In as much as you know that "only begotten" means "only created/made/produced" in other words "no other created son of God" when we're talking about redemption!
In regards to creation, Jesus is the ONLY Creator while human beings are created (begotten) by Him... But in regards to redemption, Jesus is the only begotten son...
This Half baked knowledge na wa oooo! Genesis 1:27 & Matthew 19:4-5 dey your Bible? Mankind is begotten by the Creator,Yahweh.
We're talking about ONLY BEGOTTEN not just begotten ;
Every begotten son is a Creature given Preeminence & Favor not given to other Creatures.
I said We're talking about ONLY BEGOTTEN not just begotten. .
ONLY begotten can not exist without begotten.
For example, Isaac and Jesus Christ.
Job 2:1,Angels are sons of God in heaven. The Adoption of righteous humans as sons of God and dwell in heaven as co-rulers with Christ.
Once you agree that Adoption is the opposite of begotten, the problem is solved!
*. Romans 8:23 "KJV:And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the ADOPTION , to wit, the redemption of our body ."
*. Galatians 4:5 "KJV: To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the ADOPTION of sons ,"
Jesus Christ says himself no be the Creator, Matthew 19:4-5 na correct science? Hebrew 1:2 na rocket science? Colossians 1:15-16 na rocket science?
Ok nauw, the writer of John 1:3 have told us lies nauw...
*. John 1:3 " KJV: [b] ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
Oga say Jesus their 2nd Person na Almighty God. Trinity shege [/b]
Romans 11:35-36,Col 1:15God made Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is only begotten just as Isaac is only begotten. Isaac and Jesus Christ are Creatures. You understand?
You are definitely confused. Trinity na scam.
Yes, according to Watch tower, one mighty God (Jesus) and another almighty God [the Father)...
*. Isaiah 9 6 "KJV:For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God , The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
*. Titus 2:13 "KJV:Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ; "
*. Genesis 17:1 " KJV:And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God ; walk before me, and be thou perfect."
*. John 1: 1 "KJV:In the beginning was the Word, and the Wordwas with God , and the Word was God. "
AntiChristian: The first definition of begotten is siring i.e. (especially of a man) bring (a child) into existence by the process of reproduction. "they hoped that the King might beget an heir by his new queen".
Reproduction means to produce again, that's why I used the word produced - to bring something into existence...
If you are using the second meaning of "cause; bring about"
They're the same
then Adam, Eve and even all humans were begotten.
Yes, you are correct... Human beings lost the position through Adamic sin... That's why they're some people now called "children of the devil" "children of perdition or children of wrath"
*. 1 John 3:10 "KJV:In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
*. John 8:44 " KJV: ,Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
*. Ephesians 2:3 " KJV:Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the CHILDREN OF WRATH, even as others ."
So Jesus is never the only begotten son anywhere!
It's either no one is begotten or everyone is begotten!
Mind you, i think your translators are now wise thrashing the word " begotten" away from the more recent Bibles translations.
To beget is an animalistic character. Just like sons of God having sex with daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4 to beget giants!
Please take note of the following: 1. God owns us by creation, this is for all people...
2. God owns us by redemption, this is for believers in Christ only...
In regards to creation, Jesus is the ONLY Creator while human beings are created (begotten) by Him...
But in regards to redemption, Jesus is the only begotten son...
Emusan: They believe Jesus is "A GOD", you should have asked him if Jesus is A TRUE GOD or A FALSE GOD?
Yes, "one mighty God and another almighty God"...
*. Isaiah 9 6 "KJV:For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God , The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
*. Titus 2:13 "KJV:Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; "
The mighty God the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; " This is Jesus!
The Angels worship Him! And what all this also say about your NWT in Colossians 1:16-18? Just as your organization dubiously inserted OTHER @Col 1:16-18
That doesn't mean THEY WILL NOT SERVE JESUS which you supported by Matt 4:10
It's not! because his not the translator
Rather say it can also means MINISTER.
Provide the screenshot of that verse from Biblehub as you always do, let's see if it means SERVE or not
When it's evident that you're the one lying.
So Russell and his pagan team disobeyed Jesus Christ yet they are still part of the 144,000
"You didn't address his point"
He's looking for a way to get to his usual comfort zone...

This is why I included children of the devil in the post. It is to give you clue how the word father is used in the Bible...
Jesus said they are of their father, the devil. This doesn't mean that the devil impregnated their mothers. They were doing his biddings:
*. 1 John 3:10 "KJV:In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil : whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
*. John 8:42 " KJV:Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 44 KJV: [b]Ye are of your father the devil,[/b,] and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
AntiChristian: He is the uncreated Creator who is one (indivisible), who begets not nor is He begotten and who has none comparable or coequal to Him. (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks)
Ok, Jesus Christ is the uncreated Creator who is one indivisible with the Father... although He has begotten us to Himself through redemption.
When your Bible says Honor your father and mother (Exo 20:12, Ephesians 6:2, etc; the "father" referred to was definitely not God. So "Father" therefore has more than one meaning in the Bible.
God is included in that commandment of honour your father...
*. Malachi 1:6 " KJV:A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour ? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?"
From the above, God is simply demanding the application of that comment to Himself!
Elohim can be used for Angel, Satan, Idols, humans,
Elohim as God aka Yahweh Take note that in Gen 1:1 In the Beginning God (Elohim) created the heaven and earth.
Used as gods Now I know that the LORD (Yahweh) is greater than all other gods (Elohim), for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” Exo 18:11
“Whoever sacrifices to any god (Elohim) other than the LORD (Yahweh) must be destroyed. Exo 22:20
As an Angel (Cos i don't think Jacob can fight God.) “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.” Gen 32:28
Humans are God (Elohim) Then the LORD (Yahweh) said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God (Elohim) to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. Exo 7:1
“I said, ‘You are “gods" (Elohim); you are all sons of the Most High.’ Psalm 82:6
Your religion books still have English version.... My religion book call God my father and Jesus is the everlasting Father:
*. Isaiah 9:6 'KJV:For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father , The Prince of Peace."
This can be true.
My religion does not agree at all.
Ok, God did not create Himself out of nothing?
We don't use father for our God! Father is father! Mother is Mother! God is different entirely!
Janosky: Psalm 45:6-7 is the original copy of Hebrew 1:8. Psalm 45:6 ,Masoretic Text "the throne given of God" Psalms 45:6, Catholic Church New Jerusalem Bible/The Message Bible, the Catholic Pope knows that your quote of Trinitarian Hebrew 1:8 is a FRAUD.
Bring out "the original copy of " Luke 1:74 and Matthew 4:10 which I used below, then will Watch tower lies be cleared from your eyes You'll quickly discover that quotations are not verbatim
Na your Trinity mentors /3 deities slaves dubiously add "Worshippers" @ 1 Peter 3:22.
Matthew 20:28 Jesus SERVE others. Oga, your quote of John 12:26 is deceptive. The Word "SERVE" is "minister" @ John 12:26 & Matthew 20:28. I have no problem with you LYING in your house. But, STOP LYING repeatedly to the public.
Oga,Why do you love to prove your disobedience to Jesus Christ instructions @ Mark 12:29-30 & Matthew 4:10? "Worship only his Father and God." .
" The Word "SERVE" is "minister" "
Let's see if you are correct as we check other verses where the word SERVE is used:
*. Matthew 4:10 "KJV:Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve ."
"him (God) only shalt thou serve ." or "him only shalt thou minister to ."
*. John 12:26 "KJV:If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man SERVE ME, him will my Father honour " let's analyse the two statements below:
"him only shalt thou SERVE ."
if any man SERVE ME,...
What are your explanations of these statements...
My own explanations: Since I have ONLY one Being to serve... and the Lord Jesus Christ said if I serve Him the Father will bless me.... Definitely He is one of the Persons in the One God!
*. Matthew 6:24 " KJV:No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon ."
Ye cannot SERVE God and mammon or Ye cannot MINISTER TO God and mammon
*. Luke 1:74 " KJV:That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might SERVE him without fear ,"
"might SERVE him without fear" or "might MINISTER TO him without fear[/b] "
