■ Yes, they are gentle, some are introverts. They are kind, nice and mostly what they call simp.

So, in your mind, all the men and women out there who fit this outward description you gave here are good people?

Westerhoffe:
■ .... The Devil also quoted the Scriptures to JESUS CHRIST.

Wrong! He quoted scripture out of context much the same way you religious lot do. He lifted bits and pieces of scripture from here and there in an attempt to provide backing for his lies. That isn't the same as quoting scripture. Jesus Christ warned against doing that, but it is something you religious kind seem all too comfortable doing anyway as revealed in your earlier assertion regarding that written in Psalm 50.

So, this woman, formerly Mrs. Obayan, abandoned her former husband and father of her 4 kids to marry Mr. Prince Abua Obi, who has now adopted her 4 kids? Na wa ooo!!

■ Korkor.. I no get mind. If I say I'll never every interfere in her matter again, once she calls like this, my mind will melt again. No mama, no papa, we only have each other. That's why.

You can lend her your ear but you don't need to interfere. She created the mess for herself and continues to enable it, so nagging sounds more like you bleating. You need to let her mature from her experiences on her own.

■ Yes it’s your duty to search out the truth if you truly seek it. You are to be like the Berean Christians in Acts 17 and use your Bible to know the genuine faith. Jesus himself told the disciples that false prophets and teachers would arise in his name and they also confirmed it!
■ When you see copies of something you must acknowledge the existence of the original! Salvation is in the person of Christ and his church is the one that faithfully obeys his word.

Religion has its foundations cemented in the doctrines and traditions of men, which Jesus Christ warned were nothing but antiChrist lies with the purpose of deceiving many away from God. So, most definitely, your church religious churches have nothing to do with what Jesus Christ said or taught.

As for searching for truth, it is one thing to truly search and another to adopt the ways of other men pretending that means you have truly searched. All the likes of Ajayi Crowther and others did was copy the religion of those who were masters over them, and nothing more. You can tell this from the fact that they too copied the ways of the other religious men

The Christian
missionary school in Nigeria was without any doubt an adjunct of the Church. It was a replica of a similar development in Britain during the
Dark Ages. The missionaries were generally strong disciplinarians and they had abiding faith in manual labor and the rod as the cure to all ills —idleness, laziness, slow learning, truancy, disobedience, and irregularity of attendance. In the 17th century, the Roman Catholic missionaries found their way to Nigeria.

The statement in bold is exactly what Jesus Christ condemned of the Pharisees, the adoption of an outward appearance of godliness while their insides were filthy and empty.

Kevineleven:
They say women are attracted to bad guys, this is what happens when you marry a bad guy.
Marry better man, una go talk say him dey boring.
Advice: leave his ass, help your sister raise the kids.

How does a woman identify these "better man" you lot keep babbling about? How does a man identify this "better woman" your ilk keeps yapping about? Do they have a particular mark on their foreheads are into a particular profession or do they have a particular smell or expression about them?

Why are you carrying this your sister's issue for head abeg? Don't you have a life of your own to attend fully to? Let her stew in her own porridge until she is ready to engage her brain naw!

Westerhoffe:
My friend swipe left!
You contort the Scriptures to suit the desires of your ignorance and you think you can shove those false doctrines of yours down my throat? Who the heck do you even think you are?

The very Words and commandments of God as in fact presented in scriptural context amounts to false doctrines whereas the tales spun for you from the mouths of your gods of men are truth to you. That at least explains a lot about whose you are.

■ How can one recover his/her stolen destiny. Sometimes ago I had a thing with a slut in a brothel. And since then on things haven't been the same

Destiny? I laugh!

Sometimes I wonder if people are intentionally resistant to progress and commonsense.

Westerhoffe:
■ And thus the devil also quote the Bible…
Who are you deceiving?

Of course, to you, the devil wrote all those parts of Scripture you reject, and anyone who shoves them in your face to reveal the falsehood of your claims is of the devil. I get it!

Tohsynetita1:
Please, where can I sell thousands of the leaf as export in USA or Lagos?

Wouldn't it make more sense to farm, harvest, and maybe even sell the plant itself to customers in the USA rather than trying to "export" the leaves to the USA?

holymike47:
These things I will keep telling people.
1. God knows those who are His;
2. You cannot deceive God; you cannot outsmart God; Whatsoever a man sows, that is what he will reap;
3. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6 v 8
4. Your relationship with God is personal!

1. God never said He answers people just because He knows who they are. He said He only answers those who are holy and righteous in His sight. So, telling people God knows who they are should not be construed as meaning God answers or pays attention to what they do in their unrighteousness.

2. Neither can you force God to lower His standard or bend His Law to accommodate any jargon that you offer to Him. God said He does not accept the prayers of the unrighteous are an abomination to Him, and as such any offering which is not in keeping with His Law and stipulations is equally an abomination to God.

3. Your religious acts mean nothing to do. The only way to become righteous/just is to submit one's life — entire mind, body, and soul— to living in continuous submission and obedience to God's Law and teachings, in our times in Jesus Christ. There is no other way. Acting just/right is akin to adopting the ways of the Pharisees and Jesus Christ made it abundantly clear that unless one exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees — which amounts to nothing where God is concerned— one will never benefit from the promises of God.

4. The relationship may be personal but the fruits one bears reveal whether that relationship is real or just all mouth action. No one who belongs to Jesus Christ uses His name to spread lies.

holymike47:
■ Bro, I believe we are all saying the same thing here. I am also frustrated with those who pretend to love God, and yet practice sin. In fact, 2 Timothy 2: 19 clearly says: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
Also, I would advise you to read the full article. The very first paragraph says:
If a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. (Ezekiel 18:21-22).

■ The truth is, for a sincere Christian, praise invites and overwhelmed you with the presence of God, where no enemy can stand.
2 Chronicles 20: 20 – 22
Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

1. Let's stop dribbling ourselves here. You and I know quite well that your Christian idea of praise does not in anyway conform with the Scriptural idea of Praise as put forth by God Himself in His Law. And you and I know clearly well, that when you create these threads to inform people that God is moved by their praise, you are not speaking specifically to those who are RIghteous — those who keep all my decrees and do what is just and right —, but rather to all those who fill your church seats service after service. Your Christian idea of praising God is to shout noisily and sing you many so-called Christian songs, ideas which have nothing to do with that which God has in fact commanded of His followers.

2. Imagine you continuing to quote from the context of the Old Law of Moses while pretending to have links to the name of Jesus Christ. That is another lie you Christians feed yourselves using the name of God. God made clear that His Old Law of Moses applies as the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan, a Law under which no man can today be justified or saved as all born under it has been condemned by God from over 1900 years ago. But here you are more than 1900 years later pretending that somehow by spreading that which is of Old — a Law which you clearly do not even begin to abide by to the letter — you are somehow honoring God. Are you people for real?

■ Dear Kobojunkiee

Thanks for your time. You see, the Lord Jesus was anointed when the Holy Ghost lighted upon him after he was baptized by John. In Matthew 3:16 the Bible teaches that "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him."

■ The Bible teaches in Hebrews 11:6 that without faith it is impossible to please God. So, if it takes faith to please God, then it takes faith to activate God's anointing. Thanks again. I'd like to send you a copy of my new book "Breakthrough Corporate anointing."

1. You didn't answer the question. According to the Scripture, and this from all 4 Gospels which you claim as your witnesses, Jesus Christ already had, as a part of His being, the Spirit of Life(grace) and Spirit of Truth --- the Holy Spirit of the Old Law and the New Covenant since He was even in the womb. But here you are waiting us to believe instead that what happened at His Baptism was that He acquired the same Holy Spirits or at least one of them ? Are you for real?

Westerhoffe:
It is written: “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.”
— Psalms 50:23 (KJV)
Nice one OP.

One ought to be really careful of all those who trade religious lies in the name or God without regard or respect for God's Truth.

16 But God says to the wicked, “Stop quoting my laws! Stop talking about my agreement!
17 You hate for me to tell you what to do. You ignore what I say.
18 You see a thief and run to join him. You jump into bed with those who commit adultery.
19 You say evil things and tell lies.
20 You sit around talking about people, finding fault with your own brothers.
21 When you did these things, I said nothing. So you thought that I was just like you. But I will not be quiet any longer. I will correct you and make clear what I have against you.
22 You people who have forgotten God, understand what I am telling you, or I will tear you apart, and no one will be able to save you!
23 Whoever gives a thank offering shows me honor. And whoever decides to live right will see my power to save.” - Psalm 50 vs 16 - 23

As for the thanksgiving offering that God Himself required of His people, the instructions of what is required by God are written in the Old Law of Moses.

11 ‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the Lord:
12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil.
13 Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering.
14 And from it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
15 ‘The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice; but on the next day the remainder of it also may be eaten;
17 the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire.
18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him; it shall be an abomination to him who offers it, and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt. - Leviticus 7 vs 11 - 18

Note how what is required by God even of His Old Law of Moses where you lot pretend your call to worship God comes from as far as thanksgiving, peace, voluntary and even vow offerings differs completely from your many religious rituals which you pretend are of God.

Oloki:
Is this not flying termite? If yes, it is called esusu in Yoruba and very proteinous.

Yep, those are termites and they are delicious!

Op, there is actually no truth to this claim as God's promises only apply to those who are first Holy and then righteous. So, no amount of your religious praise rituals could cause God to wiggle a finger.

Les:
and I asked, which part of the op's post convinces you that the boy in question doesn't desire a change?

OP never said anything about the boy asking for help or making any attempts to change at all. According to OP's story, he remains a nuisance to his family and they are fed up with it. SO?

HRHQueenPhil:
Looks jobless to me
Wont dare it
Besides with the Holy Spirit, I can make the money before December..am begging u, enter into a deep relationship with HIM, HE will direct u to your wealthy place

Which holy spirit?

Les:
■ and what makes u think he doesn't desire change? Don't be a gent if darkness my dear.

You folks are usually disconnected from reality itself. What aspect of OP's post convinces you that the boy in question desires change or your shoving of Jesus Christ at him?

Draslo:
■ Most are forced there. You will hardly find anyone in rehab tat checked themselves into the facility. I have a friend that his folks took him to rehab because of rophynol addiction. Today he's a coke addict living the best life because he met a rich kid in rehab. They linked up outside and took their drug fueled lifestyles to the highest notch. No two Instagram posts are in the same country. Like, they are highly chilling on drugs kpa!

For those who are forced there, chances are high that they will relapse not long after leaving rehab too. So, rehab for many na revolving door! Many there have even accepted this. So, in rehab, they make friends with whom they exchange tips with each other on how to stay out longer the next time all while getting high without getting caught.

Loveglow:
■ Their is nothing too hard for God to do sir

God said He only answers the prayers of those who are first Holy, and then righteous. There is nothing too difficult for God provided you are first Holy. So, how many of the 1000s of drug-addicted, some even sex-addicted, youths wey full una churches una don heal finish?

edward1106:
■ Sit him down and ask him now that he may not be able to go to school again, what does he want to do? Let him take his time to give you an answer and of you guys have money, support him and supervise him. Let him run the business but let the finance be monitored by your guys so he can be serious and also accountable.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Loveglow:
Please put him in prayers no matter what

How many of the thousands wey una don dey pray for una church don change since?

yomiracles:
Arrange for a dedicated clergyman to provide continuous spiritual guidance to him. I recommend Apostle Arome Osayi, if you can get across to him.

Nonsense...you people always looking to take advantage of those who are weak. Awon ole!

Artist002:
ohh no, I haven’t

Is there a particular reason why you haven't? Do you not like that kind of work at all or something?

BigBashiru:
■ The Bible lied does not mean its God lied....they are two different things......many things the apostles did or wrote are ancient practices and are outdated so they hv become lies by virtue of being outdated...it doesn't mean God lied. It simply means outdated portions of the Bible inadvertently turned to lies....

Your confusion is not of Scripture but of your own making rather. The apostles did not tell you anything but their experiences and views from almost 2,000 when they lived on this earth. However, what they each were to adhere to was God's very own Law which equally applies to any man who would choose God. And so, if according to God does not lie then that same Law persists even to this day, since not a jot of God's Law will pass away even after Heaven and earth have passed away.

Jatosolo23:
Bro my kindly advise is for you people to check if de problem is not spiritual den take drastic action physically action like fight den seek God intervention

There is nothing spiritual about addiction. Stop using the mentions of God to cover ignorance.

Les:
Only Jesus can change him. I wish I would have an opportunity to just talk to Him about Jesus and make him experience the life-changing love of the son of God.....casting our cares upon him because he cares for us

Jesus Christ changes those who wish to be changed. Stop shoving Him at people who are not at all interested in what He has to offer.

There are drug rehab centers that do an effective job of rehabilitating drug users who are sincerely looking for an out from the habit.

Emma09:
■ This is a clear issue of bad parenting. Ur brother wasn't brought up properly by ur parents. All the same, with prayers and maybe taking him to a good church for deliverance, he would change. Bad influence and peer pressure could also be a contributing factor to his misbehavior.

Not necessarily bad parenting since in the end, kids will do what they will do.

BRATISLAVA:
■ Surprising that he hasn't been kicked out yet at 18. If he's old enough to do drugs, he's old enough to live alone.

It's not even the 18 but the if-you-are-old-enough-to-do-drugs for me. If he needs help, I can understand that but since his goal seems to be to make life miserable for everyone else, I wouldn't put up with that at all.

BigBashiru:
■ This thread is not a christian bashing thread. "Come now let us reason together saith the LORD" - Isaiah says. It is okay to ask questions and its okay to feel deceived. I was born muslim and grew up as a muslim before converting to christianity. So here are the lies I was told by the Bible. Silly christians who dont know the answer to questions or dont want to lose confidence in their religion resort to bullshit such as "His ways are not our ways"
1. Bible lie: A woman is a helpmeet.
The truth: women are self serving creatures just like their male counterpart. Many women are looking for rich men to depend on in which case the rich man is the helpmeet of the woman not the other way round. Many women refuse to bring money at home and are looking for financial security from men....
2. Bible lie: marriage is Gods institution.
The truth: marriage is a societal contract from ancient times. Today the vast majority of women see marriage as a cage which is why the vast majority postpone it for as long as possibe until when they no longer have much to lose. Its not Gods institution. The truth is today both men and women prefer relationships to marriage and marriage is primarily done for kids....
3. Bible lie: human sexuality is a sin
The truth: human beings just like all mammals love sex and have sex with who they find attractive. Christian men who wait till marriage will not have the best sex cos kids soon come in, the "wife" has already had her fun with some body count before getting married etc. So christianity is a religion of sexual frustration - thats the truth! Everything sexual and pleasurable is a sin in christianity and christians are encouraged to "mortify the desires of the flesh", "subject their members to Holy Spirit etc" - so most christians arent even comfortable with sex.... Please note that there is no woman in heaven or hell and there is no sexual pleasure in heaven or hell.....so if you a man, you only hv this earth to indulge in woman matters...

None of these claims of yours are actually of Scripture so what lied to you wasn't Scripture. Rather it was from the mouths of the many gods of men, pastors, so-called religious authorities that you gave your ear that these lies that deceived you came from.

If you had in fact read the book for your own self you would have instead come away realizing that the God of Scripture cursed marriage right after the fall of man rendering it of the world of men --- unholy -- and not of the Kingdom of God - Genesis 3 vs 16 & Luke 20 vs 34 - 36. What this means is that God stopped making helpmeets for men after He made Eve for Adam; He washed His hands off the institution, allowing men to choose for themselves. As for God's Law which defines sex outside of marriage as sin, even that was given only to the children of Israel in the Land of Canaan and not to all of mankind. ( The Law is different in Jesus Christ of course, and even Jesus Christ applies only as far as the Lost sheep of Israel.)
