While moderation may not be a sin as it even reduces inhibitions at low rate(medically), a lot of people have been turned to drunks and rendered useless from starting with just some sips of it. At this high consumption rate it can cause cancer to our vital internal organs: liver, kidney, gullet and stomach. Therefore it's better to avoid spirits in all its forms so we won't get addicted to it. The Bible says a wise man foresees evil and hides himself but a fool goes instead and he's punished. Prov. 22:3
Too much of anything.....just name it, is bad and causes health problem.

Taking too much water causes water intoxication also known as hyponatremia which can lead to health problems like seizures, coma and even death, I guess it’s better to avoid water.

Taking too much food leads to Heath complications, overweight, obesity, increased risk of cancer and addiction to food, I guess it’s better to avoid food.

Sorry I drifted a bit, that comment was not meant for you.

I'll get back to you with the verse.

I'm actually trying to give support to your argument, but i haven't read the previous comments, so gaps in my understanding of where the argument has shifted to.

My views are more complex but I can't type long epistles, cause i would have to delve deeper into some aspects of Christianity and history.
Great!

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support abortion and understands that, it involves innocent defend-less souls....

my point truly is, if you look at it purely from God’s anger and the Bible with no emotions, it is the same thing as capital punishment...the underlying act that the Bible forbids is killing of another human being.

“Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”

“No, Lord,” she said.

And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”


I won't pick an argument with you though grin, i can smell brainwashed from miles away.
So, where in that verse did Jesus say...’He love those who sins no more’? Can you highlight it please?

You are substituting your own words for what the Bible did not say, Jesus only said go and sin no more.

You are the one brain washed, having substituted man made up morality for that of God.

Deductive reasoning, you can't lump religion with politics oga.

The pastor isn't trump.

As for the Bible, Jesus said he loves sinners who sin no more, he didn't say continue sinning.

You guys are clowns grin
Chapter and verse, where Jesus said he loves sinners who sin no more? I bet, there is no such quote from the Bible.

Yes, he said we should not continue in sins...but that does not age very well with our humility.

My point is, he should deny communion also to those who advocate for capital punishment.

Moses support capital purnishment. So what's your point here. The soul that sinneth Shall die and wages of sin is death. And God will eventually throw all evil doers to fire. What does that make God?. Incapable of communing with men.?


Their are questions that borders on true moralities that you clearly avoiding. Killing people has strong justification.many who were killed were themselves murderers. It's is justified enough. They were not innocent.

Babies on the other hands are. They have not committed any act of sin to warrant death. You are not being honest here if you can.


No one is rightouse but there are basic moral truth that should be adhere to. Irrespective of you right or left.

Trump is no saint. Am quick to admitte But I have watch him closely and so are his accusers. He is better than them. That's my submission.

Let Hilary show her mails for starters.
Moses is not a Christian standard, Jesus is our standard....Moses also supported animal sacrifices, I guess it means we should also do the same.

Yes, the Bible said...the soul that sinneth shall die, where did Jesus commands us to carry out the punishment, even the woman caught in adultery and was ready to be stoned to death because of her sins, was spared by Jesus. He said, the only person justified to carry out that punishment is the person that has committed no sin, which means no one except God can kill the soul that sinneth.

Even Jesus himself instructed them to leave the weeds and the crops to flourish grow together until the harvest day, when the crops shall be harvested and put in the barn and weeds harvested and thrown into the file.

All lives is sacred young, middle, youth, adult, it does not matter. The Bible said, thou shall not kill period!

You are for abortion yet you want holy Communion.

You want to fellowship with Christ but you are for murder. Go and find Christ yourslef first. No amount of communion can redeem him.

If the priest give him he is hipping more curse on him.
The priest stands has nothing to do with the Bible, he is just playing politics having replace God’s morality and righteousness with his own crafted sense of morality.

He will hypocritically give the same communion to an adulterer, murderer, a rapist and someone that grabs them by the pvsy.

Trump supports the death penalty, Biden opposes it...fundamentally the Bible say thy shall not kill, what makes Trump the better killer and disqualifies Biden?

Please, if you care to response and propose that, one is more righteous than the other, stay within the Bible and make your responses backs the Bible 100%.

He's totally correct! As an ex seminarian, I'm aware that there are strong theological teachings against abortion, same sex relations and these liberal attempts at 'liberalizing and normalizing promiscuity"... It's what priests spends ages to learn, to oppose , to stamp out and to eradicate. These are evils that one Joe Biden carries on his funny skull like gala. The way he's going, it's starting to look like his presidency revolves almost totally on these issues... For all his good natured politics and policies towards minorities and on immigration and foreign relations with developing countries, his liberal views on issues like abortion and same sex are simply terrifying..

Every real practicing catholic is supposed to be overwhelmingly scandalized. Since Biden is a catholic and touts this Irish heritage of his quite proudly, he should atleast respect these values as a very prominent public officer. Where he glaringly fails or become quite irritatingly audacious in propagating weird beliefs, the much a humble priest can do is to ensure that he's dutifully starved of the holy communion, untill he starts yelling like an ewe... You can't be a member of a group, while at the same time working hard to torpedo all the group stands for.. That's some exotic politics right there..
This is not personal... The priest is doing his job as a catholic priest.
Bunch of hypocrites!

He will give it serial adulterous and grabbing them by the pvsy Trump & his ardent QAnon Catholic followers..... I guess that is not terrifying or disqualifying according to you guys version of the Bible.

Can a human be this dumb? sad Definitely not all deaths can come up on the news.
You see how your self-claimed wise-ass has been illogically dump-fuvcked!

You indicated that not all deaths can come up in the news, which is factually accurate, but still support the OP that....Famous People Always Die horrible.

My contribution was to point out that, the OP is factually wrong and that, unpopular people also dies horribly just like the famous people and the difference is that, we hear more and talk more about the famous people horrible deaths compare to the unpopular people, hence the wrongly perceived notion that, horrible deaths is the exclusive preserve for the famous.

If you truly believe that, not all deaths can come up in the news as you have postulated, you will be in the camp with me in opposing the OP's conclusion that, famous people always die horrible...because his conclusion is sorely based on what is in the news; but your self-righteous wise-ass wouldn't allow you to see beyond your nose-line.

Same rubbish analogy many of u use.
A rent in the abroad is at least $1k=₦450,000 per month.Thats d yearly average in Nigeria.
Electriciity bill sets you back least ₦45k.
Don't just compare dollar exchange rates.Look at comparative earnings and comparative cost of goods and services.
The person earning $3000 per month abroad,yes has a higher standard of living,but comparatively spends the same average percentage of his salary on bills and living cost with the ₦100-₦150k salary earner here.
The major difference is the vastly improved standard of living,services and life over there,not necessarily the earnings per person.
Cost of say gala abroad is about $0.5= ₦250-₦300/one.Here it is ₦50!
I get your analysis, but your comparisons are way off.

If one take the top range of your salary range of a Lagos earn and assume the same rent analysis, it means for a salary of N150,000.00, their comparable rent in Lagos will be N50k/PA, which tally with one third of the rent you stipulated for a US earned of $3000/monthly.

Bros, if dem show a house that rents for N50k/PA in Lagos, you will not even allow your enemies to live there, face-me-I-face is more expensive than that in Lagos and on average those who live there earn less than N100k/month.

My point is, apart of the higher standard and quality of living obtainable abroad; on average Nigerians spend more on living expenses as a ratio of their income compare to those living abroad.

What do you mean missing? You mean your sponsor has misplaced the AOS ? If that’s what you mean, you don’t have any issue, since you’ve already submitted it on the nvc and got DQ. You’ll not be needing it on your interview. However if the AOS you submitted has expired, tell your sponsor to download the current one and fill it out. Then they will scan it to you, you’ll need it on your interview. (You only bring current AOS form to interview if and only if the previous one you fill has expired; if it has not, there’s no need for it )
How accurate is this information?

I know that, in most cases they do not ask or look at the documents that you bring with you to the interview, but it clearly stated on CEAC to bring the originals of all documents uploaded to CEAC to the interview, it is better safe than sorry.

I will suggest that, if the document has been uploaded to CEAC but lost on their local PC, login to CEAC and download the copy you previously submitted and take it along with you to the interview.

Hey guys please my Aunty and her family needs you guys help.
Their application was under administrative proceedings and now change to this below message.

U.S. Department of State
IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION


Expiring Soon

Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that your registration be canceled and any petition approved on your behalf canceled, if you do not apply for your immigrant visa within one year of being advised to do so.

You were advised of this requirement over 1 year ago, but we have not received a response from you since then. As a result, your application for a visa has been canceled and any petition approved on your behalf has also been canceled.

Your application may be reinstated and any petition revalidated if, within one year, you can establish that your failure to pursue your immigrant visa application was due to circumstances beyond your control. Please provide a written statement to the Embassy or Consulate outlining the circumstances beyond your control and noting that you still wish to pursue this visa petition.
You were caught in the one year no contact clause of the US immigration Act.

Once your papers hit NVC, you are required to do something or simply contact NVC, embassy, etc at most once a year, when you do not do that the Secretary of State will deem your application abandon and start the process of canceling it. If it is canceled you will have to start all over again.

Since, the pandemic was what made you not to contact NVC, you can write them and state that reason, but I will advise you ask your petitioner to see an immigration lawyer, so they will know the right wordings and you should not sit on this, else your application will be out-rightly canceled.

Also check to ensure that, they were not waiting for a response from you.

For others, you can keep your application active, even if nothing is going on by contacting NVC periodically....A contact does not only means, you have to mail them something....calling their number and giving your receipt number for them to check on your status is a contact and that action alone resets your one year no-contact timeline from the date you made that call.

Also, accessing NVC website and loging with your case number and receipt also resets your no contact timeline even if you did not do anything....this is how many people whose paper were at the NVC stage preserved it when Trump placed the ban, since they do not want their application to be processed to the interview stage only to be denied and put in administrative process....by doing this you can hold your application at the NVC stage forever or until you are ready to proceed without triggering the 1 year no-contact clause.

Let them continue to deceive themselves. Na their families go suffer.

If Nigerians abroad truelly send 29 billion dollars, we wont be in any dollars crises even if the price of oil falls.

In 2019, Nigeria oil revenue was $64.9 billion, so this people abroad are telling us that they send almost half of the country's oil revenue. What a joke.

Infact oil and agriculture are the bulk of Nigeria's revenue, not diaspora remittance.
Majority of the foreign remittance goes to fund projects in Nigeria like buildings, farming, etc....these projects in turn provide steady employment for millions of Nigerians and putting food on their tables.

So they don’t need to stop remittance to their families, just pulse those projects and Nigeria economy will feel the impact.

And don’t under estimate the importance of these remittance to the Nigeria economy. Even CBN recognizes these importance hence they launched their Naira-for-Dollar program to attract more foreign remittance by giving N5 for every $1 remitted.

Walahi, we don't need your type in Nigeria again, enough of wicked people everywhere.
What stops the Mr Richard from giving him the job without making a greedy demand? Let's learn to call a spade a spade. It is corruption and gross wickedness on his part. I'm sure he has been doing it to many people. No any act of kindness again.
Nigeria is the most religious country in Africa if not even in the entire world but our wicked cannot be compared to the sin of the devil. The white people that some people see as godless people have the fear of God and working conscience in them. For instance, my first job outside Nigeria was gotten for me by a white man without demanding for a dime. And when I need to move on, I got another lucrative job through a white man that is a recruiter. He did not say that I am going to tip him before he will give me the job. And most religious people in Nigeria think they are serving God better than these white people. Smh
It is not corruption if the job is genuine, but you might question the morality of Mr. Richard, but on that point, you might be right or wrong.

Great you mentioned your first job outside Nigeria and Jobs through recruiters. In the western countries e.g. US and UK, this is how recruiters and independent contractors work...they look for a job of e.g. $25.00/hr and pay you $15.00/hr...the rest is their profit and it is legal. The recruitment business works on this model and many individuals who want to run recruitment independent business on the side do it.......Mr. Richard gave the full disclosure and most likely this is his legitimate job i.e. connecting people with jobs, you do not expect him to do it for free.

I think the problem here is the average Nigerian mindset, which beliefs that we can get connections for free....you have to pay monthly fees to sign up on some job sites and you are not even guaranteed a job, you pay to get linkedin premium service to get access to connections and network of people that may link you to your next opportunity.

The bitter truth is, it cost money to make money.....now that the OP has rejected the offer, he has gone from making 50% to 0% monthly, I do not know anyone who will tell you that, that was a wise decision given the fact that he did not have any alternative job at hand.

If you love someone, the number of times he or she eats will not influence your proportion of contributions towards the up keep of the house, as long as you can avoid it.

He does not trust you that, you are pulling your weight financially, hence he is asking to see receipts. Despite the fact that, you don’t ask to see receipts, you don’t trust him to be pulling his weight financially either, no marriage last in the atmosphere of lack of love.
