Celestialsword:
modern day religion is not all about going to heaven.

From whose point of view is this? The religious leaders who are merely scammers(thieves) or the gullible individuals who follow these scammers in hopes that through their much devotion, they could be touched by the divine and hence assure themselves they have been chosen for heaven by that?

Celestialsword:
lie,on the contrary, Nigerians mostly follow what add value to their lives

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Celestialsword:
Do you have evidence,if the followers are not getting value they wouldn't be following them

LOL... value in terms of? Nigerians are known to follow anything for the sake of it, eg. their politicians whom they gain absolutely nothing from. So why assert in this case that a different pattern is to be expected from the same?

■ Redeemed by christ so they can continue following old testament laws? What is the point of grace?

Jesus Christ is a separate Nation/Covenant from the Old Covenant Kingdom of Israel in the Land of Canaan. As Jesus Christ said, one cannot have one leg in Jesus Christ and one leg in the Old Law — do not mix old wine and new wine today as the result is disastrous.

As for grace, well that simply means Eternal Life; Even demons/devils, equally spirits, have eternal life.

■ You are so wrong, I understand that tithing is not compulsory and cannot take from me or give me salvation, but if I'm been blessed in my local church and I know my pastor is into the ministry full time, why shouldn't I pay my tithe? After all giving is an integral part of our faith.

Your churchian tithings have absolutely nothing to do with the God of Israel — YHWH— and His Son, Jesus Christ. You are instead under a system that is run solely by your religious leaders, your gods of men, who scam you daily using the name of God they know nothing of or care for.

The clergyman said the devil had a rough idea of the revival that was about to take over the state, hence why he (the devil) kept him away from Jos for a long period.
“The devil has a rough idea of the revival that is about to take place in Jos. He has kept me away from Jos for seven years, but I said no more. The fire that God is lightning in Jos will not go down,” he said.
In his sermon, titled, ‘Promoted for a Purpose,’ with a Bible passage taken from Revelation 4:10–11, Adeboye averred that God has the absolute power to lift any person from one level to another, adding that when God decides to promote, He can raise a person from a dunghill to the position of authority.

Wickedness! So, devil na him cause Plateau to lose its glory fa? These religious scammers are very wicked!

■ I expect my wife to be a good business woman, which clearly that's something that you're not :-You want a solution? ...
I'll give you a few ...
1. Start by appreciating what your husband is doing
2. Improve upon your business skills and try to expand your business so you you can pay off you're debt slowly.
3. Stop reporting your husband to people.
4. Be very open with your husband about finances and let him know how far.
Do this and let's see how far.

The mistake most Nigerian men make, OP's husband one of them, is to assume that every woman is a good businesswoman. Every man out there, even those who claim to own businesses, is not good at business so why in the world would anyone assume that all women, those with businesses on hand, are good businesswomen? I fault OP's husband in that case. Before a sensible individual chooses to invest in a business, he or she ought to carefully investigate the business to realize if it is indeed successful and profitable or simply held up with bandages and loans.

■ Are u trying to say that the Bible contradicts itself?

The Bible is not the problem here. You are instead the one trading contradictions.

Almunjid:
■ Lol, u write full everywhere, yet u no even understand wetin u dey write. Where u learn ur own Christianity from?
■ Na contradictions wey dey ur comment make me dey qoute u. U said: Jesus Christ himself lived according to the old Law. He then called his followers to follow a different law. Does this make any sense to u? You're wrong anyways. Matthew 5:17 says: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

I am not a Christian nor am I religious in any way so I don't even belong in the same Caliber as your kind.

Second, if you don't understand the meaning of the term Contradiction, don't bother using it. As for Jesus Christ calling His followers to follow a different Law, the God of Israel Himself said He would make a new agreement/Covenant with the House of Jacob in Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34. Do you mean what He said does not make sense to you?

2. Jesus Christ was an Israelite who was born under the jurisdiction of the Old Law of Moses in the Land of Canaan and as such was required to fulfill the Law the same as every other Israelite in the land was. That is simply what Jesus Christ tells you in that verse of what He came to do then. He couldn't abolish the law because God's Law, an eternal Covenant, cannot be abolished.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
■ The Jews are pretending and have been cursed right? May I know in what way the curse is manifesting sir?

Pretending? All Israelites across the world who are yet to accept Jesus Christ exist under the curses of the Old Law of God. The details of how the curse manifests can be found in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. They remain God's chosen people, but living under the curse, they cannot be redeemed by any other but Jesus Christ.

Martinez39s:
What’s the author's conclusion?

Read what is written as it is written!

CorperKola:
■ Are u saying the levites were not allowed to own property

Huh? The history of the levitic system that was used by God of Israel —YHWH — in His Nation of Israel which He set up in the Land of Canaan, is contained in Scripture for all who have eyes to read. Please make an effort to read the book for yourself so you would not continue to have your brain screwed over by the lies of religious mongrels whose only goal is to steal, kill and destroy by using the name of a God who does not know them as His.

Martinez39s:
What’s your conclusion?

What other conclusion should there be except for that which mirrors the idea presented in the book by the author who clearly didn't contradict himself? Tagging that which is not a contradiction as such is rubbish!

Reginaoyah:
1. Did you expect me to reject the proposal when it came?
2. I had reported him to his mother. His brother,and my brother who all happen to be family at different intervals.
3. He only supported the business when I opened it. This business is more than 6yrs. So you give your wife 100k to add to a small business 6yrs ago and expect her to turn it to billions with kids she feeds and same shop you collect small things like toothpaste from? You are just judgemental, no solution.

I will be honest with you, @OP, I think you are the one who first needs to change here. Six years ago in Nigeria, 100k was a considerable sum, even big money. My guess is your husband wanted you not only to have for yourself something to do but also something to bring in some money into the family with. He didn't want you living as a dependent on him. I can see that because what other reason would exist for him to have invested 100k into your business six years ago?

If the reason the business has not been doing well in all that time, is probably due to low or lack of sales or mismanagement, that is something else. And needs to be addressed as just that. I mean for one, you admitting to taking things from the business to use in the home screams mismanagement to me, and by none other than the business owner too. And you taking out loans to help your business only for nothing to come of the infusion afterward is equally on you. If it is that you don't know how to run a business at all then please let your husband know and make sure he knows how bad things have gotten so you can both decide whether the business should be shut down completely.

If you wish to keep the business then look for ways to learn to do better as a business owner. Look for additional ways to earn money on the side to help pay off your loans, read books to run a successful business, etc. You said your husband is a plumber meaning his take-home even now is probably not close to that 100K he gave you 6 years ago. If something bad were to happen tomorrow, there would probably be no big savings stored away somewhere for you and your child to live on, so it is up to you to decide whether you will change for the better or continue as is.

Martinez39s:
Omo! You are right o. It doesn't surprise me given that the bible is a book of contradictions.

Rubbish conclusion!

■Malachi 3:10
■You are not even sure if there is judgement after death. Change your thinking and accept the truth

You religionists, like those of the Pharisaic religion your religion of Christianity is modeled after, are indeed very shameless! You dare to quote Malachi 3 at me, a message that YHWH— God of Israel— made perfectly clear was to only the House of Jacob, the Levites in particular who were in charge of His then Temple, in the Land of Judah and Jerusalem at the time before the arrival of Jesus Christ?

1. The Lord All-Powerful says, “I am sending my messenger to prepare the way for me. Then suddenly, the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple. Yes, the messenger you are waiting for, the one who will tell you about my agreement, is coming!
2 “No one can prepare for that time or stand against him when he comes. He will be like a burning fire. He will be like the strong soap people use to make things clean.
3 He will make the Levites clean. He will make them pure like silver is made pure with fire! He will make them pure like gold and silver. Then they will bring gifts to the Lord, and they will do things the right way.
4 Then the Lord will accept the gifts from Judah and Jerusalem. It will be as it was in the past—as the time long ago.
5 Then I will bring you to justice. I will be an expert witness and testify about the evil things people do. I will speak out against those who do evil magic or commit adultery. I will speak out against those who make false promises and cheat their workers and don’t pay them the money they promised. I will testify against those who don’t help strangers, or widows and orphans. And I will testify against those who don’t respect me.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.
6 “I am the Lord, and I don’t change. You are Jacob’s children, and you have not been completely destroyed.
7 But you never obeyed my laws. Even your ancestors stopped following me. Come back to me, and I will come back to you.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said. “You say, ‘How can we come back?’
8 “People should not steal things from God, but you stole things from me. “You say, ‘What did we steal from you?’ “You should have given me one-tenth of your things. You should have given me special gifts.
9 In this way your whole nation has stolen things from me, so bad things are happening to you.”
10 The Lord All-Powerful says, “Try this test. Bring one-tenth of your things to me. Put them in the treasury. Bring food to my house. Test me! If you do these things, I will surely bless you. Good things will come to you like rain falling from the sky. You will have more than enough of everything.
11 I will not let pests destroy your crops. All your grapevines will produce grapes.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.
12 “People from other nations will be good to you. You will have a wonderful country.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said. - Malachi 3 vs 1 - 12

It is sheer wickedness to read the above and suggest it applies to any other people or place or time apart from the one that God Himself meant it for....absolute wickedness!

2. So, you are implying Jesus Christ, who said judgment of the sheep and goats in HIs Kingdom will only take place after He returns lied?

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
■ Oga, about every verse you have to quote on tithing is sure to come from the old testament meaning it is just a carryover of the law of Moses into the dispensation of grace. Did you know that the Jews themselves who are the custodians of the law do not tithe? Reason is simple, there are no Levites! No one can claim to be descendants of Aaron! You can't be more Catholic than the pope!

You haven't read my signature, have you? Anyone Israelite who pretend still according to the customs of the Old Law only compounds the effects of God's curse on himself - Leviticus 26 & Deuteronomy 28 vs 15-57. God activated that curse across every one of the bloodlines of Jacob about 1900 years ago at the time of the end-time. Redemption from the curse can only be obtained in Jesus Christ who explained in His Parable of Wheat and Tares that the Harvest of the Kingdom of God began at that very same time— the end time.

∆ She used my phone to enter Facebook and forgot to logout for over a month I have been viewing her messages secretly.
Yesterday I came back and she wasn't around.
I asked my sis what happened.
She said that the girl went for church program
The thing sounded somehow for my ear
I quickly enter room, go her Facebook
I come see her chat with a guy that has already booked hotel for both of them that night.
I was mad!!!
Thus girl that is always carrying church for head.
She just came back this morning
I just dey look am like say she no know say her matter don cast
I used to be friendly with her when she first came.
Sometimes she ask for my phone to watch TikTok but i stopped due to over familiarity

She is a house help and you happen to find out she went to see a man in a hotel. So, what do you intend to do about it? Kick her out because she had no right to sleep with someone else but you or something?

She didn't steal the phone. You gave her the phone and she forgot to log off after checking her Facebook which you then opened and freely perused it seems. How is that against her?

Please what does this mean?
At about 1am, I woke up to switch off my Gen. Having done so, I glanced over the fence, I saw three white dogs strolling at about this time. I was stunned, didn’t even react. Just kept mute and said nothing.
Please what does this mean? That’s 1am!!
Does it have any religious significance?
I couldn’t have imagined if those dogs saw someone. !!!!

3 white dogs--- could have been born in the same litter-- walking by your home, and you think there has to be religion to that? Wow!

[20] For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.4.20.NKJV

Wait a second... are you somehow insinuating that Jesus Christ who said the following....

21 “Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants.
22 On that last Day many will call me Lord. [color=#990099]They will say, ‘Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God[/color]. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles.’
23 Then I will tell those people clearly, ‘Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.’ - Matthew 7 vs 21 - 23

... was wrong?

■ getting into argument with you is tiring. Go check on his page and see testimonies from people all over the world that God has reached. Yeah it is not all about Pastor Jerry but the works of Jesus Christ and that he gets to mention that he isn't the one doing the works but Jesus Christ

It doesn't matter what the people say though as the one whose opinion matters here is Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ clearly said that those who belong to Him are those who do as He commands. So, why not just come out and declare that Jesus Christ was nothing but a liar and deceiver so your Jerry Eze can be lifted as the savior of you instead?

It would be great to advocate the kingdom of God as a place to finding to cure to cancer and that's what the pastor is doing in his own capacity. You could ask the govt to key into it if you can as many persons have gotten their healings there and with evidences.

The Kingdom of God was not advertized by Jesus Christ as a place to find any such though! Most of those whom He healed weren't even part of the KIngdom of God.

optm:
What wrong has pastor Jerry done. Give me a fault you are finding. Is it that he gave certain people cars or that through his ministry, God healed a certain person of cancer? What is his fault?

God did no such thing through his so-called ministry. God does not need any of that to do what He said He would do for all, including the wicked and the ungrateful!

NiRfreak:
■ Who was an eye witness to the event? Name one.since the whole of Israel was aware..
■ The law of Moses states that there has to be 2 or 3 witnesses before a case can be established

1. Where exactly is it written that there were no eyewitnesses or that no one knew of David committing adultery with the woman? Be specific!

2. We know what the Law says but where is it written that if no witnesses show up it means that no one saw?

AbuTwins:
The difference is actually less than 300 years! The Books of the bible were written and had to be canonised aka fixed for you as New testament in the 4th century! If it was established it won't need a debate and votes to be canonised! The Qur'an was ready before the death of the Prophet in 632AD. So < 250 years not 600!
■ I didn't relate it to the time of Moses! It shows you were wrong about your YHWH. Manslaughter is not same as murder!
So the prophets of YHWH are not supposed to be above board at least? David had the holy spirit yet still committed murder and adultery! Samson too was just empowered with the Holy spirit to kill and kill...

1. I said nothing of your canonized bible of today though. I instead meant Scripture had existed in the region for at least 1000 years before Mohammed showed up. The teachings of Jesus Christ were already available to those in the region, thanks to the disciples who were sent out among the Nations in the land of Canaan — what was Arab world as well— for almost 600 years before Mohammed showed up on the scene with his ideas.

2. Moses was a murderer who was made a Prophet and Lawgiver by YHWH. (Moses did the attacking; this we know from what is recorded.) YHWH made no efforts to polish up Moses's image as He sent him right back to the very people who knew very well of his past. He wasn't a role model but a servant sent from God to deliver a message and that is the role that Moses played.

NiRfreak:
■ Kobo junkie the Atheist or Agnostic..... whatever u are...why do you hide under the barner of a believer to attack scripture... come out straight for once...don't be a coward

I never attack Scripture! I instead attack the silly interpretations you lot attempt to attach to Scripture. Like the cowardly claim, you made earlier about an entire nation being unaware of David bedding a woman whose husband just so happened to have died on the battlefield, an attempt at whitewashing of David's image no different from that presented by Mohammed in his Quran book.
