Mathematricks:
Why are you worried because she has decided to help her boyfriend? Now, if reverse were to be the case, you wouldn't be giving such advise.

Let's be guided pls.

Help him with what exactly?

Learn to process a story as presented to you and leave all meaningless assumptions where they belong....in the trash..

Tboy222:
1. Jesus is supposed to come to the world twice, first he came to die, second to establish the millienial rule, which wl then Usher in the eternal kingdom, the rapture is just an intermission, which the trumpet will sound those in heaven ans those currently alive will be caught up in the air with Christ, then after the battle of Armageddon ,those in hell and those who passed through the great tribulation but received the 666 mark will all be present at the Great white throne judgement and finally be cast into the lake of fire which is the second death.

2..You are the one with the scientific proofs that invalidates all that Jesus Christ said in HIs Gospel, right?

The problem with a lot of you religious folks is you don't ever logically process any of the lies you are fed nor do you consider reasonably the claims you make.

1. Though much of this hogwash isn't scriptural. Here is my question to you. If according to you there are already individuals in Heaven, then why did Jesus Christ suggest there would be a judgement day when He returns to reward Heaven to some and Hell to others?

What is the point of this judgment day if people can gain access without being judged righteous enough to into Heaven prior?

2. You claimed scientific evidence invalidates the lesson of the parable told by Jesus Christ of Lazarus and the rich man, which is that no one will be sent back to warn the living of impending doom. Why do you not accept that your scientific proof is evidence that Jesus Christ is a liar then?

Tboy222:
Where exactly did Jesus lie, please quote him from the scripture.

Again...It has proven that Jesus Christ, the one who said no one will be sent back from the dead to warn the living of even Heaven and Hell, is a liar... OK.

It has been scientifically proven that people have been able to gain access to Heaven and Hell, many of them without even being born-again, and all of them long before Jesus Christ returns to judge all, making Jesus Christ a liar ... OK

Tboy222:
1. He died and went to Heaven, millions of people had died and returned all over the world, it has been scientifically proven an experience known as NDE, God created man with a body and soul, the body made from dust, while the soul is eternally alive and won't be destroyed and will continue to live for eternity, once tbe body dies the soul goes to heaven or hell waiting till judgement.

Kologirl:
Thank you everyone. Honestly I don't know what's up with him, I was the one that brought up the idea of starting a farming business and he said he loved it, I'm still Saving towards it so when he said he wants to open his own farm, I was like great. I love farming and I think it's a profitable business. All of a sudden he is saying he doesn't want to do it again because of what his friends might say, I don't believe in going into criminal activities to survive, If I did I would be dating a Yahoo boy. I'm tired honestly he doesn't understand that the country is hard, a 22 year old in the UK is struggling to make end meet and u are in Nigeria complaining on why you don't have a car, iPhone and so much more.

2. I think I will keep on advising him but if he doesn't take my advise before this year runs out...I'm going to dump him. I want to live my life slowly and without regrets. Not waking up to meet EFCC at my door. I see life as an adventure and im still saving up for my farming business. If he doesn't want to do it then okay. But I'm not going to make him a partner in my business, because that's what he's saying that we should do it together. He's my boyfriend not husband, I won't even do business with my husband. I don't mix business with pleasure

1. So, he has already made his mind known to you yet you refuse to accept what he has made clear to you. Your problem isn't your boyfriend but you. You think it is your place to change someone even after that person has made his intentions clear.

2. You need to advise your own self. He does not need your advice as it is all too clear where his heart is, and it is with what his friends have.
If you don't want your savings to end up going to paying for his bail or maybe his other expenses, I suggest you begin keeping it to yourself, and allow him to live his life as he chooses. Let Life be his teacher. He is 22, and Life knows how to deal with such minds.

Tboy222:
God is not a Liar, you are actually misinterpreting the word of God, Stephen when he was stoned saw Christ beside God in Heaven, Paul ascended to Heaven in a vision, Elijah and Enoch were transported to Heaven without dying, the bible clearly says The spirit will return to the grave, while THE BODY RETURNS TO DUST so the word of God is clear, there is no concept of eternal sleep till judgment day.

You aren't making any sense here abeg!

This man claims he died - not had a vision, but died, and went to Heaven, and then returned. Either God is a liar or this man is. It is that simple.

And by the way, what in the world do you mean by the spirit will return to the grave, the body returns to dust... no concept of eternal sleep till.... are you sure you haven't been reading that book upside down?

phemy36:
It is well with you my brother

I am not your brother. According to Jesus Christ, my brothers, sisters, and mothers are instead those who do the WIll of God... those who live their lives in continuous submission to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ...

gameova:
We are supposed to preserve our culture and traditional Religion like the Europeans that gave us their religion did. They have theirs, we have ours. It's that simple.

You are supposed to preserve your culture by adhering to traditions and rules which don't benefit you in this world or the hereafter? Who gave you such a mandate and where is it written in stone for you?

Well, it is my life and hence my decision as to what cultures I adhere to, is it not? Are we somehow supposed to live as prisoners of a particular culture or something?

gameova:
Bible God

If It is His Heaven that you desire to gain enter into at the end, the rule is you must first be born-again to gain access into the kingdom of God, and you must continue to live your life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the Law in the Kingdom of God.

phemy36:
A pray it will not be too late before you know the truth about your maker. May God have mercy for you

You should keep your prayer for yourself... religion will never get you any close to God. Believe what Jesus Christ told you about that - John 8 vs 31 - 35

DessyCompton12:
what is stopping you from believing and quit bad ways

Not everyone is as gullible as you choose to be.

dontrulee:
1. Heaven is a broad term. According to the Bible, there is currently no one in heaven.

2. Perhaps what the man saw and described was paradise. Just like people on Earth have different experiences and perception, so also people in paradise will also have different experiences and perception. And that's why there are different though similar intrinsic details about the afterworld by different people who claim to have these experiences.

3. Also note that because you didn't experience what another fellow experience doesn't mean that such fellow's experience is not real even if you choose not to believe it!

1. Wrong! Heaven isn't a broad term at all. According to Christian scripture, which the one in question expected answers from, there is only one Heaven, and it exists inside of the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom ruled over by Jesus Christ - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46.

2. Wait... I thought the man claimed he saw the throne of God. Do you mean he was able to tell us of the throne of God, the height of an angel, but not able to tell precisely where it is he claimed to have visited?

If we are to claim what this man says is indeed what you call "Paradise", well, according to scripture, Paradise is considered by the Jews to be a place where the righteous among them - of the blood of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - go to sleep awaiting the resurrection which is to come. So, how would a man from Nassarawa, his dead friends, and relatives find themselves in the Jewish idea of paradise?

Different experiences you say, meaning this man went to a paradise different from the Jewish idea? Why question, in that case, would be where do I find the details of the paradise where he went to?

3. Scripture ain't personal, so also the Laws of Heaven and Hell aren't open to private interpretation.

gameova:
I'm just asking hypothetically. Christianity is practiced by millions here in Nigeria which see the religion superior to our traditional beliefs which is not meant to be so! We need reorientation desperately!

If they individually consider Christianity a superior belief system to your traditional beliefs, why do they need this reorientation you speak of? For whose benefit will this be for? Is this all so you can beat your chest and claim that your traditional beliefs are more widely adopted or something?

gameova:
God?

which God?

Preciousgirl:
1 John 5:16
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

Any sin that does not come with a consequence of death. Blasphemy can be seen as a sin that comes with a penalty of death as forgiveness is completely off the table for such a one who commits it and potentially death is the result.

GodsOwnMan:
Nigerian Christians are the most foolish people on this planet. Talking to them is like talking to a monkey and expecting logic or sense. The Jesus that you carry for head like gala what benefits has it offered Nigerians or Africans?

You are the one not making any sense here. Why do you even expect Jesus Christ to offer anything to your Nigerian and Africa abeg?

You no know how to read at all or what?

There are some things that are too mysterious to explain or comprehend
2. u don't need to wait till u die for you believe that indeed Jesus is real and do exist.

That is another way of saying, "ignorance is bliss" what we know is a lie.

2. Jesus Christ told His followers that He desires for them to KNOW the TRUTH and it would be revealed to those who seek Him in TRUTH. So, there is no reason whatsoever why that which is of Jesus Christ should remain too mysterious to explain or comprehend.

Olojuobinrin:
1. Thank you, that was why I used the word paradise first because that’s what they keep promising people, there’s this illusion or should I call it deceit actually that , if you’re not in this particular religion, you’re likely to go to hell ,

2. I’m still waiting for my late grandfather who happens to be a Muslim and all his 5 kids are pastor and no single one of the grandkids is practicing Islam, I’m still waiting for him to appear in my dream one day to tell me I’m this is how it looks like when you die , This is Heaven, this is hell, only those who believe in this and that make it to Heaven and others go to hell , the funny thing is nobody has ever came back to tell us Shit ,

3. even Jesus hasn’t came back after 2000 years , we only hear He is coming soon and when he comes, This and this will happen according to what’s written in the scriptures , by the way I’m not atheist, I grew up a Muslim and Christian home I was supposed to become a pastor at some point but I let go , I read both the Quran and The Bible, I studied both well and graduated , I just get pissed when some people try to claim self-righteous and try to condemn others .

1. Whether you call it paradise or Heaven, the basic is still it all depends on which deity or belief one refers to, doesn't it?

2. Waiting for the dead to enter your dreams to inform you... all i can think is they are dead, aren't they? Why have such expectations of the dead?

3. Yes, according to Jesus Christ, His Heaven and Hell will not be open for the admission of souls until after He returns and judges those born-again... The Kingdom of God only belongs to those who are born-again. So, it is crucial to identify precisely whose Heaven/Hell one is referring to as each deity defines it's separately/differently.

Olojuobinrin:
Maybe you should read what I wrote again , no one knows , but from what is posted here , it’s seems like you’re trying to make us think Christianity is the only ticket to Heaven without giving any evidence actually.

Which heaven? Or may be I should ask instead, whose heaven?

gameova:
What then is the sure ticket to heaven please?

Sure ticket to whose Heaven?

gameova:
So what is the essence of the death of Jesus?

You don't need to care about Him, or His death, if you are, as you claim, content with your traditional religion.

gameova:
What's the essence of the Christian Religion then?. We would have been better off practicing our traditional religion which is also very good. Why abandon our beliefs for some white man thinking theirs are superior?

There is no law against keeping your traditional religion if that is what you prefer. Just that some of us prefer what we have to that which was not "good" to us.

gameova:
Imagine Nigeria without Christianity Or Knowledge Of Anybody Called Jesus still practicing Our traditional Religion without any Colonial Interference. Will we all (now Christians) have gone to hell when we died?

No, we would all not go to Hell. Instead, scripture says that those who die as unbelievers will perish in the grave. God's Judgement for all unbelievers... all who do not believe in Him.. is as follows...... From dust, you(mind, body, and soul) were made and to dust, you(mind, body, and soul) shall return.... Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22.

How should a wife show respect in marriage as husband and mother in law always complains she is proud but she is trying to stay at her best and keep quiet mostly. However everything she does she is referred to as Proud. Thank you for commenting.

So long as she is sure she is already doing her duty as a wife and a daughter-in-law, she doesn't need to do any more than that really. You can't please everybody, even in marriage. The wife should spend her extra energy instead destressing so all that what may be mental abuse does not get her down to the point that she makes them seem right.

Also, respect is not one way in marriage. If you feel you are yourself not being respected in your marriage, then there is a problem in your relationship. It's up to you what you do but no one should be another's slave or footstool in marriage. It is meant to be a step up, not a step down in life..

OLOKOESHIN:
Ok
You called your Jesus Liar too

If that is what you think, ok then.

OLOKOESHIN:
What's your religion Kobo

I don't do religion. I am instead a follower of Jesus Christ.

bobontop:
1. You missed out some things. There is a difference between heaven and paradise. Paradise is the place of the souls of the righteous before final judgement. We Lazarus died he was taken to Abraham's bosom in paradise. The thief on the cross was told by Jesus 'today you will be with me in paradise'. There is also a difference between hell, hades and lake of fire. Hell and death shall be cast into the lake of fire and that is the second death. That is the same way those in paradise will move to heaven after resurrection of the dead. Escatology is complicated. It's is possibly paradise that the man went to.

2. The only confusion is he was not a born again Christian. But Jesus has the absolute authority of heaven. He may have allowed him a access to heaven so that he can send him back be a witness to us of the things he has seen.
Thank God he has now confessed Christ and is saved.

1. Let's assume your Paradise theory was correct for the convenience of this here discussion, according to the story of Lazarus and the rich man, those who were in Abraham's bosom were those of the blood of Jacob... those whom God gave the promise of Life after Death to in HIs Old Covenant were those who had the blood of Jacob running through their veins. So how did this man in Nasarawa, and his friends and relatives, end up in a paradise defined for Jews?

2. So, when Jesus Christ said Heaven and Earth will pass away but not a jot of the Word of God will change, Jesus lied?

And when in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Jesus Christ made clear that no one will be sent back from the dead to warn the living, you instead insist that Jesus Christ also lied.

Also, when Jesus Christ said that only those who stand faithful - living life in continuous submission to and obedience of His teachings and commandments, a life lived in faithfulness to Him - until the end will be saved - Matthew 24 vs 12 -13 & Mark 13 vs 13 - you believe instead that Jesus Christ lied instead?

Farid24224:
Okay thanks for the advice..Am really grateful!!

She ought to do it herself out of respect for your parents.

Reggaemich:
this comment is very funny, U did not even say, u will pluck the bad fruit away "Correction is the cure for bad character" (Correction) in this case, means beating, using cane. If u like if u see little children around u or from your extended family, exhibiting bad character, don't correct them Õ,

That same thing, you fail to correct today will come tomorrow to deal with u

Violence isn't an effective method of correction. You can correct a person or an issue (the tree) without needing to resort to violence...

Farid24224:
No she isn't..I have a really close bond with my sister...She tells me everything and her slightest or biggest problem is definitely mine too..

I understand the closeness you two share... but it is not your place to announce the news to your parents. She needs to be the one to tell her story to your parents and allow them to get it straight from her.

Your sister unburdened after all this while to you, great! Now, she needs to do the same with her parents.
