I used to wonder why we were born in the first place. Because the end of it all is that we will still die. Any help on this

You were born because your mother and father had sex..they knew all of this you say yet they chose to have you anyways.

∆ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You
give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the
law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

Jesus Christ pronounced curses on the religious elements who would come using His name; they focus on those aspects of His teachings and commandments they find easy to comply with while ignoring all others, particularly those that have to do with justice, mercy , and faithfulness to Him, Jesus Christ in all things.

∆ i asked this question is dat the bible says 'keep the sabbath day holy' & when i look around me i see pple going to church on saturdays like 7th day Adventist church while i go 2 church on sundays.i do'nt want to be dissapointed @ the end of the world.

The Bible never said you should keep the Sabbath. Rather, what Scripture reveals is that the God of Israel commanded the people of Israel whom He gave the Nation of Israel to in the land of Canaan commandment to keep the Sabbath. The people failed to keep His Law and commandments and were eventually cursed and scattered by the God of Israel beginning in 720BC when the country of Israel which belonged to God wss destroyed. God later destroyed, cursed and scattered the sister nation of Judah around 1900 years ago, placing a seal on Prophets and visions at that time as well.

Any people of group pretending today to abide by that Law heaps curses on themselves by their many dubious doctrines and rituals do so in vain.

∆ As mentioned in the bible, ie times when many will be religious but few will be saved.

The time of the falling away mentioned by Jesus Christ in Scripture happened in the same generation that was His disciples and that was about 1900 years ago.

∆ Firstly, you can trace the history of holy state of Israel back to the days of king Solomon who was a powerful king. But suddenly the state collapsed after his death. They yearned God to restore their former glory so that's why God promised them a Messiah.
Secondly u can go and do your research about the attribute of messiah according to the scriptures.
Thirdly u still didn't quote a single verse from your Bible where Jesus ask u Christians to worship him.

1. If by "collapse" you mean division of the state into two, well, that happened because of Solomon. So, again when was this golden age?!

2. It seems to me you have never in fact read the history for yourself as the clams you make aren't contained anywhere in the history of the people of Israel. Since the time of Adam, everyone born into this one is born via God's curse on mankind - Genesis 3 vs 16 - 24 - and into a cursed existence. Jesus Christ, from the moment He was conceived became a part of that curse. For Him to the be burdened with yet another of God's curse was big deal.

Your idea of the Messiah seems to come from a warped narrative fed you by people equally ignorant of the information contained in Scripture.

3. Again, I am not a Christian. And I already explained to you how and why I worship In Jesus Christ. If you look in the Gospels you will find that Jesus Christ explained that those who love Him are those who trust and obey Him. So read the book and find wisdom for yourself.

Ahmadusmanu:
■ Regarding your first question God promised the Jews a Messiah who will come and restore them back to their golden age.
■ and God also told them the qualities and attributes of the Messiah to come.so your argument that a Messiah been be born by way of a curse or die bearing a curse is nonsensical .
■ Secondly u said you worship Jesus, can you show me in your Bible where Jesus ask you Christians to worship him or you in particular?

1. The israelites never really did achieve the golden age before they were eventually destroyed by God of Israel so why the interesting choice of word — Restore?

2. You didn't answer the question. Where are these qualities and attributes of the Messiah that mandate that He could not be born of God's curse or die carrying God's curse stipulated? WHERE?

3. Well, in Scripture, as opposed to your other religions, to Worship God means to Trust and Obey God's Law — His teachings and commandments. Of course, In Scripture, cursed are those who put their trust in men so it makes no sense to come back at me with statements like "Well, you obey your mother so that means you worship her." That won't work in this case at all. Anyways, I worship Jesus Christ means I live my life in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments which constitute God's Law. Jesus Christ is God's Law and Truth in the Kingdom of God, and God's Law is God. Pretty much the same way YHWH is God's Law in the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan

Ahmadusmanu:
∆ Regarding your first question. God promised the Jews a Messiah who will come and restore them back to their golden age.

∆ Interesting word choice there -- restore -- which supposes the Israelites at one point in time actually enjoyed this golden age you speak of. I would have loved to take a deep dive into that claim but I think it best to enquire as to the source of your information on the Messiah instead.

Ahmadusmanu:
∆ Have u ever asked yourselves why the historical death of Jesus and the Biblical death of Jesus different?.the Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah and call him a bastard.they could have killed Jesus anywhere like they did to some of their PROPHETs. but insisted they insisted that the emperor should crusify Jesus so as to prove that he is not the Messiah because according to the Jewish law in the Bible, those who are hang on the tree are cursed by God. so hanging Jesus is the only way to disprove him as the Messiah which they think they did.but according to the Bible, Jesus was depicted as saviour who came to die for our sins,the Bible over the centuries developed and depicted Jesus as a son of God and later on was transformed into a God and worshipped,by modern Christians.
∆ but the thing is, even during the life time of Jesus,those who believe in him never worshipped him or call him God, the earliest Christians like the Ibianites never worshipped Jesus as God, so how comes modern Christians are now worshipping Jesus and his MOTHER?. or do the modern Christians know Jesus more than his diciples knew him?. this is a Very big deception in Christianity which only people with reasoning can see through it.

1. What aspect of the Law and the Prophets led you to believing the Messiah could not be born by way of a curse or die bearing a curse though? Does this "historical" narrative you claim access to include information on this as it is vital to making your case. Source please!

2. Not here to hold brief for the Christians seeing as I am not one of them, but I happen to be a follower of Jesus Christ and I don't worship his mother since she was just a human as I am..I worship Jesus Christ because He is King and judge(Judy and executioner too) over my soul in the Kingdom of God -- basically, He is God over my life which is eternal in the Kingdom of God. He decides whether I will be damned for eternity at the end based on choices I make here on earth or whether I spend eternity in reward. So?

There is Bi o şe, bi ko ni şe, adura san ju eepe lo. There are 3 generations I have seen where their Dads were dead beat fathers One person will eventually break the jinx if he or she does the exact opposite of what the forebears did. Success, like failure, always leave a trail.

That is all nonsense. There are equally many other stories of people who were themselves abandoned by their fathers turning out great fathers to their own kids without burdening themselves with the stranger from their past. .

FreeStuffsNG:
Take care of them o so you can break the curse and jinx

Nonsense! There are no curses or jinxes on anyone in this! These mischievous lies are used to keep the gullible among you controlled and subdued so that those who prey on you can continue to, generation after generation.

Good pm nairalanders and a happy sunday to y'all..i have been hearing people using the term ''worldly hairstyle'' for long,and am just curious if there's any such.some believe cutting your hair punk,gallas,roundcut etc is carnal and barbing carpet & aborimakpa are godly.am just curious,because i don't view it that way..so nairalanders what's your take??

That is all nothing but religious bullsheet. There is no such thing as worldly hair or hair style.

■ it is not wrong. Premarital sex is not only a sin but wrong. If you know the numbers of women that has become a single mother as a result of premarital sex then you'd realized the consequences. How many average Nigerian men and women understand and know how to play safe sex today?
■ And for the fact that women will be at the recieving end, it is the best decision to take as a woman by saying NO to premarital sex

What you described clearly indicate that what is wrong isn't premarital sex but ignorance on the part of those women of the birhcontrol methods that could easily help them sure against those pregnancies while engaging in premarital sex like their men folk. If many of these people are educated from childhood on safe sex practices, you wouldn't be here confusing on issue with the other.

2. She is only at at receving end if she refuses to practice safesex and/or is ignorant of birth control methods available, some even for free, to even her.

Do Fulanis pasteurize the milk they drink?

zhike:
■ Lol, lactose intolerance. I thought Nigerians have cows and goats in their homes like south Africans. In Limpopo province in south africa almost every has goats and cattles not for business.

Which kain yeye thought be that? Most Nigerians can't even afford more than a couple of chickens a year let alone a whole goat or cow.

lilyheaven:
■ In my three decades on earth, I have never seen fresh cow milk, let alone of drinking it.
I only see it on tv.

Yet we are told that you have been diagnosed lactose intolerant, how come?

In this case, the home was already broken by the man who took on a concubine/side chick.

If true, this is more than good news!

Lumarstone:
It's only the real christians will believe that Jesus is the way. I left..!

Christians actually don't believe in Jesus Christ. His name is thrown around a lot by them but they don't believe any word He says. Rather, they assert in His stead the doctrines and traditions of their particular denominations/cults/sects against Him. Even the OP is no different in this.

seiyefajohn:
■ You pretty know how to turn and twist a simple issues into one big complicated thing. Now hear me, 'by the other instructions i mean THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.'
■ What is blemish? What is blemish free? I no de hear to argue. Make you de understand wetin you wan understand. Me i dom share my thought. Mr Religious guru.

1. So, am I to take it that when God of Israel — YHWH— declared in Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 that the Law(which includes the 10 commandments)through Moses to the children of Israel benefited only those of them in the Land of Canaan, He was mistaken?

11 The command that I am giving you today is not too difficult for you. It is not too far away from you.
12 God does not keep it in heaven. So you do not have to ask, ‘Who will go up to heaven to find it and bring it down to us? Who will explain it to us so that we can obey it?’
13 It is not far away across the sea. So you do not have to ask, ‘Who will go across the sea to fetch it for us? Who will explain it to us so that we can obey it?’
14 No! God's message is very near to you. It is in your mouth and in your mind. So you must do what it teaches you to do.
15 Look! You must choose between the things that I am offering you today. You may choose to have life and many good things. Or you may choose to have death and many troubles.
16 I am commanding you today to love the Lord your God. Live in a way that pleases him. Obey his commands, his rules and his laws. If you do that, you will live. You will become a nation of many people. The Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are going into as your new home.
17 But you will have trouble if you turn away from God and you do not obey him. If you decide to serve other gods and to worship them, 18 you will certainly come to an end. After you go across the Jordan River, you will not live very long in that land. That is what I am telling you today.
19 Today, I want the sky and the earth to hear what I have said to you. I have told you what you may choose. You may choose life or death. You may choose the Lord to bless you or to curse you. Choose life today, so that you and your descendants will live!
20 Yes, love the Lord your God. Obey him and serve him faithfully. He is the one who gives you life. He will let you live for a long time in the land that he is giving to you. That is the land that he promised to your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20

YHWH had no notion that His Law had to equally apply to Nigerians living in Nigeria. YHWH chose to wrong words when sealing His agreement with the descendants of Israel in the Land of Canaan. Is that it?

2. You didn't come to argue but rather to assert an idea that makes no sense. I am not a religious guru... religion repulses me given it thrives on ambiguity and I loathe that the most.

■ The whole world has only been destroyed once. Which was in Noah's day No body in Jesus time is alive today He was referring to the future time period

Stop rambling for Pete's sake!

These tales you lot spew make absolutely no sense when put up against that which is written in scripture and for good reason since Jesus Christ said they never could.

....33 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that the time[d] is very near, already present.
34 I assure you that all these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living.
35 The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever. - Matthew 24 vs 26 - 35

I get it! You, folks, believe only in the lies you spin, so try to stay away from me since I believe the Words of Jesus Christ are True and Eternal! I don't subscribe to any of the tales by moonlight spun by GBs, Popes, Pastors, and Mogs. So give it a rest already!

Aemmyjah:
Lol Enjoy  First of all know this, that in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation’s beginning.” 5 For they deliberately ignore this fact, that long ago there were heavens and an earth standing firmly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was flooded with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for fire and are being kept until the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly people. 8 However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 9 Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 10 But Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be exposed.

Stop with the incessant rambling and deviations!

■ The Fulanis obviously does not constitute 1/3 of the Nigerian population much less the nomadic ones.

The Fulanis sell their milk, and possibly other dairy derivatives, to mostly the northern population, do they not?

Aemmyjah:
■ What is Revelation or Unveiling Past or future?

You don't seem interested at all in Jesus Christ since you wish to assert your assumptions regarding what John wrote against Jesus Christ. I already told you to avoid me.

ElSudani:
■ Where is your data saying 2/3 of Nigerians never had milk?

You confirmed it yourself that the drinking of milk is specific to those in the northern states particularly the Fulani nomadic tribes, leaving almost 2/3rd of the country without access to the same resource.

Aemmyjah:
NONSENSE The ones that John wrote that corroborate Jesus sign nkor? The revelations were referring to the past?

Duh! John's account of events in the Book of Revelation lines up with what Jesus Christ said.

ElSudani:
■ You are trying to split hairs with this one. I was basically trying to let you know that you will mostly find white folks in the dairy isle and that is the truth.

I don't know about that since many of the black folks I know do not shy away from good cheddar cheese, ice cream, or even yogurt. These, again, are all milk products.

ElSudani:
■ I agree that fresh milk is not readily available to most Nigerians. But you only have to react to it once to know whether you are tolerant or not.

If about 2/3rd have not even had the substance, how were the statisticians in your writeups able to get them to react even once to milk? Ice cream? Yoghurt? Cheese(wara)?

ElSudani:
■ Did I say all blacks are lactose intolerant?

You said you don't see black people carrying milk in the grocery store. What else did you mean by that ludicrous statement?

ElSudani:
■ Perhaps you are tolerant of it, that doesn't mean everyone is. You started by saying it is not a medical fact, I showed you that it is. Now what else? You still argue blindly the same way you did several years ago. A leopard truly never shed its spots.

It is indeed not a medical fact that most Nigerians are lactose intolerant given that the majority haven't had the chance to drink milk in most of their lives(about 2/3rd of the country). So, come back when milk becomes a common product in the same country. Arguing blindly is concluding that lack of access to the product equates to lactose intolerance.

ElSudani:
■ It is, there's a reason why northerners especially the nomadic Fulani on average are more lactose tolerant. I am not making things up. There are tons of materials on the subject.
Madam Kobo, you don't have to go that low. This is my personal observation. Most white folks can digest lactose therefore it's not a problem for them as far as I know.

Are Nomadic Fulanis white then?

Do these same black people say NO to chees when purchasing a burger? Abeg, stop!

ElSudani:
■ I challenge you to take a pint of fresh milk, gobble it down and wait for about 2 hours.
My only advice, don't do it outside of your own home. I eat all these things you mentioned without any problems but I don't deceive myself by going overboard with it.

What in the world is this? I drank two bowls of cereal this morning with 2% milk. And this after I had hot oats with milk last night. I am not any part of your statistics abeg, neither is anyone in my family since we eat milk products regularly without abandon. Yorubas and other tribes eat ice cream, and yogurt, so I see no sense in claiming these same people are to be written off as lactose intolerant.
