■ The time it was a holy city, it was not built by men?

Holiness is a state of being in complete compliance with God's Law(His instructions, commandments, and teachings). Whether it was an item used in the temple or a man wanting to be used by God, Holiness has to do with conformance to the Will/Law of God.

What made Jerusalem Holy was not the hands that built it but rather the God whose command and specifications the men who built it followed in doing so.

Quelme:
The wall
The Jewish Quarter is home to the Kotel, or the Western Wall, a remnant of the retaining wall of the mount on which the Holy Temple once stood.
Inside the temple was the Holy of Holies, the most sacred site in Judaism.
Jews believe that this was the location of the foundation stone from which the world was created, and where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Many Jews believe the Dome of the Rock is the site of the Holy of Holies.
Today, the Western Wall is the closest place Jews can pray to the Holy of Holies. It is managed by the Rabbi of the Western Wall and every year hosts millions of visitors. Jewish people from all over the world visit this place to pray and connect to their heritage, especially during the High Holidays.

Jerusalem, as it exists today, is not a holy city. It ceased to be a holy city well about 1900 years ago when God carried out His final judgment against the Kingdom of Israel(and Judah) in the land of Canaan. That is what was prophesied and recorded in Scripture.

What exists today is not even God's Nation of Isreal, neither is it God's Jerusalem, but rather a city built by men for men.

worshipper:
have u ever felt the presence of God mightily with physical manifestation. how was it like what did u feel. this post is not to make mockery of God. so haters please keep off. it is for blood washed believers. in my case it was in tears during worshipl

There is no such thing! God is not felt.

Nope!

2. Only those who believe in curses walk around cursed by their own thinking.

■That’s how one of my cousins just died over nothing. Heavily pregnant and a sickler…one minute she was here, the next she was no more…until today nobody knows what the hell happened.
Somebody who was supposed to be seriously monitored and possibly induced,,,so many uncles, aunties and quacks got involved but today she and the baby are gone.

Aren't you the same one who reasoned earlier that a curse may have been involved? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nigeria united! Details missing, emotions heightened. Demand explanations fest. Where did this happen? Who was the witness? Where there other witnesses? What was the circumstance of the labour? What was the cause of death? Noooo! We just say it was god and it was sad, and we move on. Until proven otherwise, someone made a mistake in the care of this patient. Either the woman and her husband or the doctors and the hospital.

Didn't you read well at all?

Pitssbull:
It's hard to be perfect

Yet many expect exactly that from others. Imagine that!

aktolly54:
stop it, we have men who are employed and marry ladies who is not. Don't let those woman in NL feel somehow.

There are women out there looking for men with the same set of qualities posted by the OP and they too experience a very difficult time finding their specs met.

Odewaleadesoye:
Why is it very difficult to find a woman who possesses all the qualities listed below? Or have you been fortunate as a Nigerian man to encounter such a woman?

The reasons are the same for why it is equally difficult for women to find men who meet the same criteria. And yes, some women seek men with the same qualities.

You see your Illiteracy. Right there in the village there are no nonsense you wrote, still Garri is still expensive. I know what I'm talking about . I j ow when I used to live I. The village.

Again, Harvesting, processing, transportation, market costs.... all are paid for with money and not stones? Or do you think people in the village don't deserve to be paid for their time and effort? This time, engage your brain when responding!

∆ Just name your state and what your Governor has similarly done or better

Just so you know, not every state is reported to have received 80,000 bags of rice from Dangote in the last 4 weeks. So let's ask sensible questions here.

Prince500:
I am happy you responded to the my statement without making personal. I wish conversations in nairaland could be like this. I hope we all see better days

Not everyone here on Nairaland is a political tout or a political sheeple!

Prince500:
Think about bro. Can a country become better by doing things like this. When a man feeds you, he buys your conscience and existence. It is a terrible precedence. Not everything you defend

A good country ought to have a good foodbank system in place abeg! I agree with you that this here is more a political show where it seems those who show up with be bought with the food but a fully functioning FoodBank system, removed from all of the politics and deceit is necessary.

■ Your problem, just like some people reading this now, is you all think the Bible is complete
Remember, people were once burned for holding books TALKLESS OF BIBLES lolzzzz Think
■ The Catholic church locks it's Vatican making it THE MOST SECURED PLACE ON THIS EARTH BUT, they decide to give you all the Bible for free
Haba!!!!! What happened. If the powers that be really want you to have 'knowledge', there would be no place with books and history of the entire corners of the world that would be under lock and keys...so much that it is known as one of the MOST SECURED PLACE ON EARTH
■ read the Bible with a pinch of salt. Whatever part of the Bible that : 1) makes you feel entitled as a Christian
2) Tries to put asunder between you and other religions in ways that promotes unnecessary disunity 3) tries to deceive you about an easy way out from your sins like the big lie that Jesus came to die for our sins( and I discussed this in my other topic titled 'THAT FLAW IN CHRISTIANITY'
just know that you are being deceived!!! And this is just the three points I can remember o. Lolzzzz
■ Just sit and ask questions. Locked Vatican containing books but free Bible...WHY? The only reason they would give you the Bible for free is because they are sure that it doesn't contain anything important that they wouldn't want to be exposed...that's why they tell you 'the Bible has many mysteries. If you pray very well, the holy spirit will reveal the secrets of the Bible to you.' lolzzzz The same Bible secrets that they themselves physically edited from the Bible lolzzzzz. Think! All of you reading this... please sit down and deeply think about this

1. Stop jumping all over the place, please! Exactly what leads you to believe that the Scripture is incomplete? Let's start there.

2. The Vatican never wrote a word of Scripture! It simply made attempts to manipulate access to the various books out there. So, let's not get things tangled up. Now the World is not only aware of that but also has access to all the books that were once withheld, so let's go back to your first claim. Why are you under the impression that Scripture is incomplete?

3. First of all, I am not a Christian so pretending you have me figured out as one is your first mistake. Second, ff you had ever in fact read Scripture for what it contains, you would have figured out long ago that Religion — Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc., — are ideas that have no place in Scripture. The God of Israel made it abundantly clear from His Prophets that those who cling to the religion of men, refusing to abide by His Law as a result, are against Him. So, leave religion where it belongs, in the trash, and focus on answering the main question which again is why do you believe that Scripture is incomplete?

4. All this, I am afraid are ramblings and nothing more. Books in today's world are mostly free. Only those afraid of paper and glue make up silly excuses for why they should choose ignorance over knowledge contained. Again, if you had ever read the words of Jesus Christ for yourself, you would have long discovered that almost 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ warned His followers not to give that which is Holy — The Truth of the Kingdom of God — to the dogs and those whom He referred to as dogs are Non-Israelites.

Your Vaticans are made up of non-Israelites for the most part, right? That means that have no part in the equation that is Jesus Christ, even though by way of their religion they assert the opposite— Lies. So, leave them in their ignorance and arrogance and focus instead on the main here which is explaining how exactly you came to conclude that Scripture is incomplete.

Mightymanna:
■ Op why do you bother yourself to tell them the truth while they are:
DEAF DUMB AND BLIND THEY WILL NOT RETURN TO THE RIGHT PATH
( holy Quran 2:18)
the message is even more clear in the book deuteronomy( 18:18) where God said he will raise a prophet like moses from among the brothers of the jews which are the arabs and he shall speak what unto them all what I command him.
■ No one I repeat no will read a single chapter from the holy Quran and still doubt that it is not from the lord of the universe unless he fall on the category of people aforementioned people.

Did you ever actually read Deuteronomy 18 vs 18 for yourself? Or did you simply swallow up someone's interpretation just so you could remain blind to the facts of what is written there?

If you pay attention, it says right there that the prophet will come from among the brethren of the People — the Israelites.

18 I will send them a prophet like you. This prophet will be one of their people. I will tell him what he must say, and he will tell the people everything I command.
19 This prophet will speak for me, and I will punish anyone who refuses to listen to my commands.’ - Deuteronomy 18 vs 18 - 19

▶ The Holy Spirit of God is NOT a Prophet: The Holy Spirit of God is a Spirit, not a brethren(a human) and not an Israelite meaning He, the Holy Spirit of God, cannot be a Prophet. God's very Law disqualifies Him, the Spirit of God, from being regarded as a Prophet.
▶ Mohammed, by the criteria contained in Deuteronomy 18 vs 18 is equally disqualified from Prophetship: Mohammed was not an Israelite, so He could never have qualified as a Prophet of the God of Israel. And as such, the God of Israel could never have sent Him.

Add to that the fact that the God of Isreal placed a seal of completion on all Prophets and visions of His Old Law of Moses at the end of HIs Last Days - Daniel 9 vs 24 - which took place during the same generation that Jesus Christ was a part of, about 500 years before Mohammed showed up claiming to be connected to the God of Israel, and you have that Mohammed's biggest was claiming a connection to the Israelites without doing his research well.

3. It's OK to keep to your Quran. But the moment you attempt to connect it to the Scripture, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — YHWH—, all the stories begin to quickly fall to pieces because none of what is contained in the Quran is supported by Scripture or the God of Israel.

IAmHim1:
■ I love the end of your comment. It speaks equality "It is the same exact set of instructions --- commandments and Teachings -- that are there in the Law/agreement for Mr. A that is equally available for everyone else. so there is nothing personal about the Salvation that is Jesus Christ" Christians believing they are the corner stone of the world is utterly wrong. But if only you knew that Jesus wasn't the only prophet that was sent by God to man. Prophet Mohammed was too.
■ All message of these prophets before it was edited by man for their selfish reasons was AND is geared towards ONE : love your neighbours as you love yourself and Love God...in truth and in spirit
■ Any other stuffs is a waste of your precious time.
■ Christians,. Muslims, Buddhist, abc and xyz are all one created by One. Religion was just made to divide us
■ Any part of your religion that gives you an easy way out of your sins( for instance Christians Believe in an imaginary blood of christ while SOME Muslims believe in 72 virgins) is bull Sheet. Whatever your do, good or bad, there are repercussions and we will all use our head to carry our rewards and punishments. No easy way out. Sorry lolzzzz I'll let that sink in..

1. There is no evidence or backing for the claim that Mohammed was sent by the God of Israel — YHWH. Why? Because the God of Israel stipulated in His Law that
▶ Israel would be His only inheritance in the Land of men meaning that Israel is His only chosen people.
▶ The God of Israel committed Himself to sending Prophets to the people of Israel in response to their direct request for prophets from among their brethren. (All prophets had to be born of the blood of Jacob.)
▶ The God of Israel committed Himself to send Prophets who would serve as emissaries on behalf of His people, Israel to the Nations.
▶ The God of Israel promised that the Davidic Covenant He made with David would herald the end and final Judgment of His against Israel(including Judah) and all the Nations that surrounded them. Through His many Prophets, including David, He announced that when He sends His Last Prophet, that would also signal the final days aka EndTime.

Mohammed was not an israelite and he arrived more than 500 years after the Endtime of God of Israel. He never qualified under the Law set by the God of Israel as a prophet and he never did embody any of that which was expected.

2. This is untrue or a self-delusion. The famous "Love your neighbor" commandment has always been a part of the Law of Moses, where it remains to this day. Jesus Christ quoted it in response to a question asked of Him by the Pharisees DOES NOT mean Jesus Christ is the one who first said it.

18 Forget about the wrong things people do to you. Don’t try to get even. Love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. - Leviticus 19 vs 18

And no, not all the prophets preached that at all, so don't make statements that you have no understanding of.

3. Then clearly, you don't care for what God of Israel has to say, do you? But do you think it is your place to assert your opinion over God's very own Law?

4. Sadly, there is absolutely no truth to this claim of yours! There are over 40,000 gods/deities out there. To suggest they are all the same is human hubris and nothing more.

If I walked into a room of 20 different people. Common sense would inform me right from the entrance not to make the mistake of assuming all 20 individuals in the room are the same — same speech patterns, same likes and dislikes, same, temperaments/dispositions, etc. — I would only make a fool of myself if I decided to see them all as the same and treat them all exactly to my very own choosing. Why then would any rational being out there think it would make sense to lump all deities together and consider them all the same?

BeatriceChide:
■ Well, I pay tithes and it has been an amazing one for me... I was instructed by God to do some kind of giving and before the end of the period, my finances tripled. Even when I didn't have enough, just ask me, I fit give my last card and God has been faithful. At some point, I gave 20% of tithes.
Am I being deceived by these "pastors"? Well, I'm old enough to be responsible for my foolishness if it is true that a pastor is somewhere cajoling me... and I'm also responsible for how I manage the finances God gave me. That being said, everyone is entitled to their valid opinions, and people mostly live their lives based on what they experienced, their backgrounds, point of views.
So no hard feelings, whatever works for you. E go be ✌

1. Jesus Christ whose Gospels — almost 2000 years old teachings and commandments — that comprise God's Law do not include any instructions instructing any of His followers to pay tithe to anyone. He said those of His followers who love Him are those of them who obey His instructions — His teachings and commandments alone. This means the following
▶ when you obey commandments or instructions that are not part of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, you do not do so out of love for Jesus Christ or His Father at all.
▶ when you use the name of Jesus Christ or His Father to obey instructions that are not part of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ you sin against God.

The only reason you pay tithe which is an instruction that comes, not from Jesus Christ but from your pastors, and you do so using the name of God and of Jesus Christ(again but of whom never asked you to do so in their name) is because you are not of Jesus Christ, and certainly not of His Father.

∆ If they come up with a way to do it in secret or decentralised it, you will complain that only a certain group of people were given. Now, they do it openly in the full glare of everybody, you complain again. We complain too much in Nigeria for a country where the Tax to GDP ratio is only 6%.

■ They do, you will complain, they don't do, you will still complain Some of the countries that you Japa to, have a social safety network like this. They call it food bank or food stamp. It's a temporary measure for those who fell on hard times.

But this isn't the way the social safety networks are designed in those countries, is it, complete with red carpets and cameras as though a political event?

If you want to compare, do so in a meaningful manner. Social programs aren't political avenues but programs designed to provide a safety net for the people which this does not look at all like.

Anyways, hopefully, over the next couple of weeks, we expect the individual state governments to help organize and ensure such programs in fact thrive and they completely do away with these seeming political shows to use the poor as though jokes.

■ You are talking nonsense as usual. Aren't you the same person who was asking me a few weeks ago if lactose intolerance is actually a medical fact? I have no time for your loopy arguments.

Abeg get away!

ElSudani:
■ Lol, wherever you is this the type of food banks they have there? And what exactly should a palliative measure look like? Do I know know what a food bank is! .

So, you can't answer the questions yet you came back to attack me in ignorance even after claiming you agreed with me?

Newsflash! A Foodbank is a "Palliative" program. There is no difference. Does that help you sort out your confusion now? Or do you still feel you need to ram blindly forward like some sort of attack dog?

BucketHat:
We go later hear say Lagos State government spend 19 trillion naira for this palliative!!!!!

I doubt it as it was reported that about 4 weeks ago Dangote donated about 80,000 bags of rice to the state.

ElSudani:
■ I agree with you but this is not exactly a food bank. This is kind of palliative the government was accused of not providing before subsidy was removed. Now, government is providing it and you are still complaining.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

First question, do you know what a food bank is? Second, do you know what a palliative program is? I need to ask because your response is all muddled up. Cause there is no way you would understand the meaning of those two things, agree with me, and still come back with the rest of the brain-dead retort.

delpee:
■ Still doing the same thing. You don't know my realities or my experience about God so you're in no position to call me out. Live your life as you please. Nice night.

Rubbish! I don't need to know your personal life history to understand God's commandments and teachings which were given by Jesus Christ almost 2000 years ago. I called you out based on just that.

■ Me o. I don't like this pity pattern. It is not what we want. We are peasant to be handed free food. I do not understand all this free food when we need to be build standard creative schools to brightens the future of the younger generation

Don't knock free food for those who cannot afford it! No one should go to bed hungry in any nation on this planet!

That said, using hungry people for what is a political show complete with red carpets and cameras is what I find ridiculous. If na food bank system dem won build, make dem just do so. This here looks so much like extending the usual political exercise that politicians are notorious for to an all-year program, ahead of the next election.

Kay25:
■ Shut the Bleep off tell us one better way to start this ...una go dey rubbish everything if dem put u there now u no go fit do anything

Be real! This isn't the first time I have read of Lagos doing something like this. Why it has to be a red carpet, obviously political event each time is what is irritating in all of this.

If na food bank dem won set up, then go for it. All these shows for the camera, using hungry people for obvious political shows and games is offensive.

udomonday:
That is Yoruba for you,beg beg people.

Stop that nonsense abeg! It is not the people's fault that their stomachs are being used to play politics by those they elected. Every sound country ought to have a working Food Bank system removed from all of the politics out there. But this one seems organized for political clout with all of the red carpets and cameras to capture the faces of the people.

azadus18:
Nice initiative

It was a nice initiative the very first time, now this is just ridiculous. If the food pantry system dem won organization then they need to stop making it a political event and start organizing it away from all the lights and red carpets.
