✓ I am tired of life in general before I use to think all I need is money but I was wrong, if with money you will still feel empty and depressed,I want to die and maybe reincarnate as someone stronger emotionally in my life if reincarnation is real,I use to blame people who commit suicide but now I envy their guts,yesterday as as the rain i slipped and fell hiting my back on a block,I wish it was my head so I will just exit once and for all but I was unlucky,the day I die will be my happiest day on earth let me rest.

You, not your parents, made the decision to have you conceived and birthed into this world?

What are you insinuating here? She's very right!

Stop deceiving yourselves believing the world is defined by your tiny-brained religious delusions there.

➜Those deities didn't create or initiate marriage bro.
➜ It's not about religion now.
➜ It's about who initiated marriage idea.
➜ Unfortunately, it's non of those dieties. The source of marriage has its manual. Simple

Almost every religion/tradition out here has rules/ideas regarding relationships of the contractual kind vis-a-vis marriage. States also have their ideas regarding marriage as well. .

2. What do you think you are attempting to impose on everyone here if not religious/traditional beliefs?

3. Whoever initiated it obviously left it to men to decide for themselves what the nuances would entail, since, marriage laws, and ideas, differ almost from one mile to the other on this planet.

4. Stop bullsheet-ing already!

One of the most difficult test to run..u fit run this test for 20labs and all the results will be conflicting

Na lie! It is only difficult in Nigeria because people are not particularly interested in accuracy. There are sickle-cellers abroad as well, mostly African Americans of West African descent, and for as long as I have known, I have never read of labs getting their tests wrong in the way Nigerians labs are used to doing, nor have I read of any one of them magically having their genotypes mutating from one type to another.

➜So what is your own say, that's the question. The question is not about what I wrote. It is about what you think about the story. Pls always read texts well before you comment so you don't fall into fallacies.
➜ Question is: What is your own say about the story? Not, what is your argument against the Op. Hope you gerrit junky?

My say has nothing to do with what was intended by the original authors. They wrote the story to convey their particular message and that is that. And what I think is that rather than go around injecting private biases between every line that is written, we all learn instead to objectively parse the information as presented.

1. There was a time when the whole world spoke one language. Everyone used the same words.
2 Then people began to move from the East. They found a plain in the land of Babylonia and stayed there to live.
3 Then they said to each other, “Let’s make some bricks of clay and bake them in the fire.” Then they used these bricks as stones, and they used tar as mortar.
4 Then the people said, “Let’s build ourselves a city and a tower that will reach to the sky. Then we will be famous. This will keep us together so that we will not be scattered all over the earth.”
5 Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower.
6 The Lord said, “These people all speak the same language. And I see that they are joined together to do this work. This is only the beginning of what they can do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want.
7 Let’s go down and confuse their language. Then they will not understand each other.”
8 So people stopped building the city, and the Lord scattered them all over the earth.
9 That is the place where the Lord confused the language of the whole world. That is why it is called Babel.[a] And it was from there that the Lord caused the people to spread out to all the other places on earth. - Genesis 11 vs 1 - 9

2. Again, my say is that you dump your biases in your pocket and instead objectively parse the information contained so you sound less like the other religious folks whom you pretend you are not one of.

➜ What is your say?

Your personal biases are written all over your assessment of the particular verses you quoted. That is what jumps out at me.

1. There was a time when the whole world spoke one language. Everyone used the same words.

The passage above does not agree with all of the conclusions you reached leading me to wonder where your particular interpretations come from if not from the lips of religion which leads me to wonder if you are at all capable of objectively parsing the content of the book without needing to lead on the interpretations fed you by the religious communities.

⚉ The same way humans saw the distance between the earth and the cloud is how God also saw it. He felt that humans will achieve making a building that will get to his heaven. Therefore Genesis 11:5 to 7 came about.
The same way humans saw the distance between the earth and the cloud is how God also saw it. He felt that humans will achieve making a building that will get to his heaven. Therefore Genesis 11:5 to 7 came about.
⚉GOD PANICKED - God became restless when the people began to build the tower. He felt that they will achieve their goals of building a skyscraper that will shoot above the cloud and then he would be exposed. Then he had to confuse their language.
⚉ WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED? - God could have relocated his heaven somewhere else when he discovered that humans will become wiser and achieve the feat of reaching a higher height anytime soon. Now he has shifted his location to somewhere nobody can see. What if we try to find out where God's new location is? Will he panic again and relocate?
⚉ IS GOD A COWARD? - If God will keep changing location because of men, can we simply conclude that he is a coward running from being sighted by men. Or could we say he is ignorant of his own immense power? If humans can only see within the visible light ray, can't God make himself and his angels infraredic or x-rayish in nature so we can't see him or interfere with him instead of running helter skelter away from men, or is there something God is hiding away from men?
⚉ What is your conclusion? Some will say the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men. Should we conclude that same way as Paul concluded because of how foolish he saw God's actions? Or should we ignore Paul and do our own findings?

What did YHWH— God of Israel — send Jonah to do in Nineveh?

1. Then the Lord spoke to Jonah again and said,
2 “Go to that big city Nineveh, and say what I tell you.”
3 So Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to Nineveh. It was a very large city. A person had to walk for three days to travel through it.
4 Jonah went to the center of the city and began speaking to the people. He said, “After 40 days, Nineveh will be destroyed!”
5 The people of Nineveh believed God. They decided to stop eating for a time to think about their sins. They put on special clothes to show they were sorry. All the people in the city did this, from the most important to the least important.
6 When the king of Nineveh heard about this, he left his throne, removed his robe, put on special clothes to show that he was sorry, and sat in ashes.
7 The king wrote a special message and sent it throughout the city: A command from the king and his great rulers: For a short time no person or animal should eat anything. No herd or flock will be allowed in the fields. Nothing living in Nineveh will eat or drink water.
8 But every person and every animal must be covered with a special cloth to show they are sad. People must cry loudly to God. Everyone must change their life and stop doing bad things.
9 Who knows? Maybe God will stop being angry and change his mind, and we will not be punished.
10 God saw what the people did. He saw that they stopped doing evil. So God changed his mind and did not do what he planned. He did not punish the people. - John 3 vs 1 - 10

According to the passage above, God's intention was to destroy the city of Nineveh, if the people continued to do evil in His sight. God is recorded to have done similar in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah. There is no mention that the intention was to save the souls or judge the souls of the individual inhabitants of the city but the entire people of the city instead.

While Nineveh was spared at that time, it was eventually destroyed by YHWH—God of Israel —as prophesied through His Prophet - Nahum Chapter 1 - 3.

Stop with the ignorant religious rambling abeg!

➜So where did the Canaanite woman mention miracles as breadcrumbs oga kobo😂😂😂?

It seems to me that this is just an attempt to drag me around in circles. I will get off this bus at this point. Good luck!

Thankgod89:
➜Jesus' initial focus was on Israel, fulfilling God’s covenant with them first. However, His mission was always to bring salvation to the entire world. The story of the Canaanite woman actually demonstrates that faith in Christ is what grants access to God's grace, regardless of ethnicity.
➜ His mission was always intended to extend beyond Israel. Consider these verses:
1. John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
2. Matthew 28:19 – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...” (The Great Commission)
3. Acts 1:8 – Jesus tells His disciples they will be His witnesses “in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
4. Isaiah 49:6 (a prophecy about the Messiah) – “I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
➜ Unless you have any counterarguments against the scriptural verses above, Jesus' mission to Israel was directly tied to fulfilling God's covenant, as clearly stated in Scripture.

Stop regurgitating what is an obvious religious lie that you and many billions of you non-Israelites have been fed abeg!

2. Absolutely none of the verses you quoted support this ridiculous lie religion has traded for over 1600 years now. It is time you drop the delusion and salvage whatever is left of your life.

3. The same verses you quoted serve as an indictment against you and your religious lies though.

Jesuspistol:
➜You're super wrong. Marriage is an entity created by someone. Right? That person has the default template. God created marriage and he has the manual right in the bible. Many marriage ideologists are just putting the marriage creator's idea aside and working based on theirs which keeps failing.
In God's idea, while joking, serious, living, dying, in enjoyment, in hardship, online, offline, in little things, in big things, privately, publicly etc, the husband is to love his wife and the wife is to submit to her husband. In a home where God is regarded, things are not done without precepts. Jokes and friendliness are allowed and normal but even in that friendliness and familiarity, God's commands for marriage should be upheld.

This is all the same religious bullsheet that I complained about earlier. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

There are over 4000 different deities out there for your knowledge and people across all beliefs and outside also have their own ideas regarding marriage. Then you have individual opinions regarding marriage to contend with. Assuming you can put two and two together, you would see how utterly foolish it becomes of you to assume that your ideas regarding marriage should be an overarching framework for every other marriage out there.

Truthseeker10:
➜😂😂😂kobo kobo...if the woman said that miracles were breadcrumbs, what did Jesus say that Miracle was in Matthew 22:26?

Jesus Christ of Israel said nothing of miracles in Matthew 22 vs 26.

What is this obsession for abeg? Even Naaman, a Syrian army commander, is reported to have been to have been healed —a miracle— and he was a non-Israelite. Are we to conclude that because Naaman was caused to receive a miracle, therefore Naaman had to have been an Israelite? Or do we simply go all out and condemn YHWH as a liar since He claimed He is God only of Israel? What the heck is this fixation with attaching holiness to miracles.

thesolutions:
➜The Canaanite woman who arguments has it that she was addressed as a dog by faith received healing for her troubled daughter from Jesus which was regarded as crumbs by scholars like yourself. Was it on record that she attained the status you mentioned above to enjoy benevolence from Jesus?
➜ Again, you did not provide any references where Jesus said non Israelites who resides in Israel and keep the law shall enjoy the promised kingdom with Israel.
➜ Jesus of Israel did mention that people would no longer worship in Jerusalem again but in spirit and in truth. He mentioned that where two or three gather in his name, he would be in their midst. Does that mean the gathering must be in Israel and must they be Israelites.But Jesus did mention that non Israelites obtained what the prophets hoped for by faith.
➜Until you can explain the faith of the Canaanite woman or that of the centurion that gave them access to your imaginary crumbs, you are only assuming while hoping to be right.
➜ Graphing is what you called religious delusion. But it was same Jesus of Israel that mentioned that.

What status would that be? What benevolence?

2. But I was clear that this was not instituted by Jesus Christ of Israel but by His Father — YHWH, God of Israel — in His Law of Moses.

3. Now you have lost me completely with this one here as I don't even know if this is still a conversation with my person or someone else.

4. The explanation I gave is the one provided from that which is recorded right there in the book. If you would not accept it because it does not align with your religious delusions, that is nothing new to me.

5. Jesus Christ of Israel never said anything about grafting. It is a wholly religious delusion created by those He referred to as the dogs — non-Israelites— who according to Him are incapable of handling that which is holy.

Truthseeker10:
➜So what did Jesus say in MATTHEW 22:24 when she asked for a miracle?
➜What does the "holy things" involve?

1. You can read it for yourself, can't you?

2. According to the Canaanite woman, miracles were breadcrumbs that fell from the master's table. And we equally learned from Jesus Christ of Israel that that which is holy should not be given to the dogs — non-Israelites— as the dogs would merely trample them and then turn and tear His followers. The Canaanite woman received healing and went away joyful— no tearing or trampling. It would not be wrong to deduce what she received was not a "holy thing" since it is did not illicit in her— a dog— the behavior suggested by Jesus Christ.

Antichristian2:
➜If sins can be forgiven without blood sacrifice as in the OP why didn't YHWH just thread that path?
➜Must He kill Jesus?

Again, if you studied the Old Law of Moses, you would note that in Exodus 12, YHWH instituted the Passover Feast, an everlasting feast agreement that marked His agreement with His people, Israel. During that feast, a lamb without blemish is sacrificed, not as a sin offering but as a seal or sign of the covenant between YHWH and His people. The lamb is referred to as the Passover Lamb.

Later on, we find out that YHWH also instituted the offering of what is referred to as a Sin Offering once a year — on the 10th day of the 10th month of each year in the land of Canaan—, and this offering was meant to clear the people of their sins each year. There were other sin offerings stipulated on the individual level as well. This detail can be found in the books of the Law of Moses e.g. Leviticus 4

Given these details and the fact that all those you mentioned have had their sins forgiven them by YHWH— excluding the Ninevites who had no sins mentioned to be saved from by YHWH —, do you think your question is truly a valid one?

2. Jesus Christ of Israel clearly explained to you in John 10 that He willingly gave up His life in order that He could reap for Himself the people that were to be redeemed by Him as a result. YHWH did not kill Jesus Christ. Rather, Jesus Christ, the Eternal Life of YHWH Himself, chose to give up His temporary life on earth, to resume His place as Eternal King over the Kingdom of God which He, during His brief time on death, served as herald for the coming of.

Antichristian2:
➜The probability is close to 0! As so many things would have happenend through the ages. Famine, drought, pestilences, etc.
➜ What may actually be true is that they are many in Europe and other continents not Africa.
➜ Are there no other tribes apart from the tribes of the sons of Jacob? Where are they?

1. Ah! I see! So, all that you mentioned must have selectively targeted the bloodline of Jacob to ensure they would not have reached out as far as Nigeria at this point. Got it! 🙄😩😩😩

2. Ah! So, even though many lived, during the time in question in Ethiopia, Egypt, and the surrounding area, they all had to have headed towards Europe after their exile back in 720 BC and then the other beginning in 70 AD. They could not have migrated southwards towards places like Nigeria or even South Africa at all. Even the slaves amongst them had no choice but to head east towards Europe and Africa south of Egypt and Ethiopia was not possible. Got it! 🙄😩😩😩

3. What in the world does this mean?

Truthseeker10:
➜😂😂😂ok...so Jesus told her in Matthew 22:24 that miracles was for everyone. Thank you kobo.
➜ So what does the "Holy things" involve?

1. Is that really what Jesus Christ is recorded to have said in Matthew 22 vs 24?

2. You don't know but earlier, you seemed so certain that miracles were "holy things"?

Antichristian2:
⚉ So how many was saved with his life?
⚉ Were people not saved before he died?
⚉ Even John the baptist was beheaded as a birthday gift, he no die for anyone!

Are you and I the ones doing the tabulating for the Kingdom of God or something?

2. Saved as in?

3. I am not sure I follow at all. What has his death to do with anything?

Truthseeker10:
➜What did Jesus tell the woman in Matthew 22:24 when she asked for a miracle? Or do you want to swallow your words back now?

⚉ Did Jesus Christ of Israel tell the Canaanite woman that miracles were "Holy things"?
⚉ Are miracles that are recorded even today— miracles of science included— regarded as "holy things"?

Antichristian2:
➜You are very intelligent. Is it that you can't just calculate the probability of Jacob's line reaching Nigeria in the midst of other tribes available back them.
➜ There are over a thousand tribes in Eqypt and everywhere back then.

1. I already explained that given that the migration of Israelites out of Canaan before as far back as over 2600 years ago when the main nation of Israel was destroyed and the people exiled from the land, the chances that they have, at this point in time reached to every tribe, every language and every nation of the planet are very high. What is the probability that there are descendants of Jacob living among people of every tribe and language in Nigeria today, it is very high.

2. And this means?

Antichristian2:
➜So what does being "a ransome for many" mean?

He came to give His life in order that many may be saved.

tollyboy5:
➜What happened to women supporting women?

What is wrong with you people?

Truthseeker10:
➜That question is for you. What did Jesus tell the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:24 when she asked for a miracle?

Did Jesus Christ of Israel tell the Canaanite woman that miracles where "Holy things"?

Antichristian2:
➜What do you think about these instances compared to the Christian's vicarious atonement where God himself or his son or angel according to JW had to come and die for humans to be saved?

Contrary to the claims of religions, Jesus Christ of Israel never said He was a sin offering. Neither does the book which you quote from suggest that He was any such.

Truthseeker10:
➜You can answer the question you asked. Do you mean that miracles were not "holy things" that should not be given to dogs?

Are miracles that are recorded even today— miracles of science included— "holy things"?

Antichristian2:
➜ It is not pronouced. And the name is lost thought time.
➜ It is deciet because a name is never translated. YHWH is not even the Hebrew tetragramaton used in the hebrew scripture. It is actually Yod, He, Waw and He or something of that sort.

2. Wah! Where is it written that the name of a deity is never translated, abeg? All these rules you keep putting forward against YHWH's legitimacy as a God where are they documented?

Truthseeker10:
➜ So the Jesus Christ of Isreal also Granted Miracles to the foreigners even though he was not sent to them?

More importantly, where is it recorded that Jesus Christ of Israel should not have the ability to grant miracles to foreigners since He made clear He was sent to redeem only the Lost sheep of Israel?

Antichristian2:
➜Jesus did explained to them. They don't need explanation from Jesus if the father had already given them understanding!
➜Is there any scientific proof that the bloodline of Jacob reached Nigeria?
➜ Apart from the bloodline of Jacob, there must have been about a thousands other tribes in the mix?
➜ What's the probability that Jacob's line reached Africa and hence Nigeria?
➜ And why is YHWH concerned about the race of Jacob, someone who inherited that line with a dubious means according to the Bible?

1. The same Jesus Christ of Israel let you know that none of what He taught was His own meaning that all He explained to them came from His Father.

2. You want to carry out DNA tests on the ancestry of all over 200 million Nigerians to confirm this for yourself? Be my guest!

3. In the mix of what?

4. You do the study and tell me.

5. Israel has been YHWH's plan from the start to colonize the earth. Is there a particular reason why He cannot have that plan? And how exactly did Jacob inherit what line by dubious means?

Antichristian2:
➜Of course! Common sense dictates you to be even to pronounce the name of your God!
➜How can YHWH be the name of a God? Is it an acronym or an initials? It's not even English! It's Hebrew alphabet.
➜Why the deceit?

Religious delusions do equate to common sense. That a person does not know how to pronounce a name DOES NOT mean the person cannot then have an understanding of the entity behind the mysterious name.

2. Where is it written that YHWH cannot be the name of a deity? Please provide us with the source of this rule you want us to believe in.

3. Why is this inability to pronounce a name or know it considered deceit?

thesolutions:
➜There are arguments that the centurion was an Israelite. But your mention of non Israelites enjoying the breadcrumbs implies you are not in favour that the centurion is an Israelite. That means non Israelites can enjoy the kingdom of heaven if they keep the law of Moses and reside in Israel. Does that not break your claim of Jesus being sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.
➜You can I believe we have had arguments on grafting.

To those living in the land of Canaan at the time, faith applied equally to all— they were all required to trust and obey the Law of the land— the Law of Moses which was the National Constitution. Those of them who did enjoyed the benefits conferred on them by the Law.

From the write-up, it is not definite that the centurion was an Israelite; the passage spoke only of his faith which we also learn in the same Gospels that the Ishmaelite who was made whole after first being healed of leprosy and the Canaanite woman equally had.

Another benefit that was available to foreigners was access to food from the pantry in the land, i.e. the foods that were brought into the temple as well as the unharvested foods left on the fields by farming, were available to foreigners in the land— crumbs from the master's table as described by the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15.

2. Grafting has always been born of religious delusions and nothing else, more specifically the desire by many to usurp that which was never available to them.
