Am not apprehensive of death because I have seen him who is invincible I know what who I worship and I know what he said about death and how he will swallow up death at the last day and give us everlasting life



Yes it is truly a natural course because God said before any thing can grow it has to first die so the question is

Talk the right things to your heart instead of
Making the wrong peace to it

Let your heart be the one speaking to you listen to it to hear it say to you there is eternity after life your life can never end here because the life force that powered you to life is eternal

How can the life force that powers my life be eternal when I am going to die?

PastorM:
Nope. She was still his sister He was reminding her in case she'd forgotten

Really so omitting to tell the supervisor that someone was not at their duty post was deception but Abram omitting to say she's his wife is not deception. How do you reach that conclusion?

Bishopkingsley:
LordReed you know I said the truth

In your heart you feel it you know there is something out there that shows you inside your heart that eternity exists

Nope nothing like that. I have made my peace with the fact that when I die my eyes will never open again and my consciousness will be extinguished like a candle flame going out. The candle flame goes nowhere when it goes out, so it will be in death.

Don't be apprehensive of death, it is the natural course, the journey no one returns from. Dreaming of eternal life won't change what will happen when you die. Accept that it will be the end and be at peace, instead of worrying of what you won't even know when you are dead.

How can a Christian be talking about reasonability when the Bible full of unreasonable nonsense.

Lol

To them it is reasonable because they believe it but if you apply the same standard to something else you see them ranting. Check out how he will come and defend Jesus talking to a tree after condemning the very same behaviour. LoLz

PastorM is this:

11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”

Deception or not?

LMFAO! Whatever makes you sleep well. Bwahahahahaha!

PastorM:
Pentecostal. He believes in tithes. I don't. We have some lovely debates in our house.

Wow! You really are different! LoLz. Did you grow up in an orthodox church?

kingxsamz:
The reason why nobody comes forward is because they know deep down, they don't have anything to prove.
The juju folks would act interested, make threats and brag, but once they're given the conditions, they back out because they know there's no way they can perform their tricks under those conditions. As for the Christians, those ones are even afraid. They wouldn't dare. Nobody wants to embarrass themselves.
The only person I know who is capable of embarrassing himself is Jesusjnr2020.
That one already tried and failed.

He said he now has the magic in his bedroom. Don't worry he will soon try again. LoL

Dtruthspeaker:
You were making an unreasonable demand from your co-god-man! You could have as well be talking to plants as one mad!

Like Jesus talking to a fig tree? LMFAO!

Dtruthspeaker:
What is impossible for a man to do, he can not and should not be asked to do so.

Only a devil makes thiese unreasonable demands.

Like your god right? The same god who you say gives you laws he himself is not subject to. LMFAO!

PastorM:
He's a pastor. I don't buy into that mentality that a pastor's wife is automatically a pastor We were not ordained or called together

He's rubbed off on you then. LoL

BTW what church or denomination are you guys?

PastorM:
Lol I've another 'religious baggage' to post today

Ps. I'm not a pastor

Well you appear so, I am surprised you aren't. I would have bet a few bucks you and your husband ran a church.

PastorM:
High praise from you, sir

Like I said you are my favourite NL pastor. Even though I don't believe the things you do, you have remained cordial and graceful. That is something I cherish. Plus your content does make sense aside from the religious baggage. LoL

PastorM:
Thank you but I'm not the author. I only contributed my story.

Oh, OK.

Havilaah1:
Good day all, i want to pour my heart on what's bothering me and get people's view and possible solutions to the issue.

I've been in a relationship with my boo for a couple of years now and it's a serious relationship, we're are very close.. infact we're practically besties aside relationship. For some months now i noticed he no longer gives me attention like he used to, the vibe between us dropped and it was getting me angry. He stopped doing the things he knows i like, he knows my love language is attention/care as well as complement but he stopped doing all these. I'd send him a photo where i look so beautiful and he'd only say you look good, at a point i started preparing my mind for the worse.

Just yesterday he told me there's something he wants us to talk to me about and it's been bothering him and i asked him what it was, he said it's about us. He said 2 of his siblings asked him same question on different occasions but, he didn't see it as a big deal the first time but when it was asked the second time he got angry and that's the reason he hasn't been flowing well with me.

The question was how can you get married to someone who is not close to your siblings, when he said this i was weak. I know when we started the relationship he told me his siblings are free people i can relate with, i told him i will try. I was in contact with 2 of his sisters before this year( i sometimes chat, text or call during birthdays, new month and festivities).

This year i started chatting with the 3rd sister, her wedding was coming up and she sent me IV. I congratulated her and she asked if i will be around, i told her i will try and create time so i can travel down to attend. I really did travel down to attend the wedding, she was surprised when she saw me but i noticed my boo wasn't happy with me all through the event.
Now he's saying he's in close communication with my mum and siblings, they talk all the time but same can not be said about me. He was thinking how can he get married and his siblings will refuse coming to his house because there's no relationship between us.

I'm a very introverted person while himself and his siblings on the other hand are extroverts and ambiverts, i don't find it easy building up ties with people from a distance. I have very few friends, i can be in a place and i won't talk if I'm not used to the people or there's no serious thing to talk about (that's the reason i talk to his siblings during birthdays, new month or festivities). I don't know how to build up a strong relationship with them before marriage, it's even worse because we don't get to see often cos they're in a different state but I've visited them on a few occasions.
How do i handle this issue. I was in deep thought all through the night, i couldn't get up to 4 hours sleep.


God knows i love his family as much as i do mine, he himself said he knows i care about them 100% but his family cannot read my mind to see that i have them in mind. After our discussion last night i couldn't sleep, I've been feeling bad about the whole thing. Introversion is making me look like I'm not a good person.

I really don't know how to go about this, please i need advice from people who have been in similar situation.

Please help move to front page for wider view.

There are practical things you can do. I suggest anytime he is making a call to anybof his family members you chip in and speak to the person even if its just to exchange pleasantries.

My dear you have to make the effort, falling back on the excuse that you are an introvert is not good enough. He obviously values his family a lot and as his wife you are gonna have to be there too. Unless you don't think you are up to the task.

Their god is camera shy. That's why since cameras have been recording church services and they've been chanting "Oh lord come down and manifest your power!", the god has refused. Couldn't even be bothered to have his angels show up on camera. Even the devil went into hiding and refused to have his demons show up. LMFAO!

All the time secular scientists makes claims how science had disproved God?

Can you name these scientists who claimed so or it this another of your claims that has no support?

Yay! My charcoal grill is here! I see lots of barbecue in my future. LoL

Preston, , Akposy, everyone, I need tips for making the best bbq.

triplechoice:
May be it is my fault I have not made my self clear enough. But if you don't ignore the instances I used in my explanation, then it would be clear to you.

Here is another one. I have a Friend who smells death. Honestly, I don't feel too comfortable knowing this about him.

This is what happens. Each time someone is to die within his compound or anywhere he lives, he always not usually, perceive the smell of formaline.And from that day until some days or about a week later, someone dies. Would you describe his experience as hallucination since it connects with something real happening?. It is call olfactory hallucination but is that enough to explain it all?

Another one , I had a girlfriend in the past who had the strange ability of smelling me before she meets with me physically . I was in Warri then and she lives in Benin. Anytime I am in Benin, she would call even when I never let her know I am around. Initially, I thought someone was letting her know whenever I came to town.

But there was I time I travelled to ghana from Warri. As the vehicle I boarded got to Benin,on my way to ghana, my phone started to ring and it was her. I was in Ghana for some months. After some period of time, I stopped calling her. So for about a month plus no contact.

Then , I was returning after that period and didn't call to inform her of my movement. I got to Nigeria late at night and by morning was off to Warri. As I got to Benin by Ring road, she called. Ha . I said to myself something is going on that I need to know.

A week later I traveled to Benin. Met with her and finally found out from her, she could smell me whenever I am close just like my friend who smells death. Would you describe her experience as hallucination too?

I am not anti science. Science at the moment ,doesn't have explanation for everything. That is not to say that we should just accept any nonsense or story that anyone brings..
But using one explanation (hallucination) for everything becuase science says so would not make it possible to know exactly why some people have these kind of experiences as I have described.

There's a difference between your own experience and those I described above. It is not the same. The op experience is alao not the same as yours and I have explained that already.

I am not objecting to your explanations but to your use of the phrase "no basis in reality" because it means something else to me that's all.

I agree that it would be incorrect to call what you have described above as hallucinations but this is a different phenomenon from what the doctor describes. Primarily because his is preceded by a traumatic event while your friends' are not. This for me is a key difference. I wish a mental health expert were on NL to explain some of these things better.

Also the smelling of death might have some scientific basis to be considered a natural phenomenon. They have trained dogs that can detect the presence of cancer and some other diseases from smell alone with a surprising degree of accuracy.

Tobedated:
Are you the kind that if someone calling him/herself god come down from heaven and come and meet you you will believe or are you the type that even if someone calling him/herself god and come down from heaven you will believe it just an alien playing as a god

The kind that thinks belief is useless. If a god came down from the sky and proved they are indeed a god then there be no reason to believe since we can already see.

Congrats on the book.

Nice one.

Hallucination is defined as experiences which appears real. Appears real means it has no basis in reality.

Lordreed, what is reality ?

I am uncomfortable with the way you use the phrase "no basis in reality". Hallucinations very often are from previous experiences which are of course in reality so for me it is not that hallucinations are not connected to reality but rather that they are not reality. Experiencing something that is not real for me is not the same as "no basis in reality" For me "no basis in reality" would be a delusion not a hallucination.

I would describe reality as the experience of objective manifestations. Objective meaning not exclusively a subjective experience so for instance dreaming, the act of your brain creating scenarios within your mind, is real while the dreams themselves are not.

triplechoice:
The doctor was in a normal state of mind since he had the presence of mind to open his fridge to pick a bottle of coke to be sure he was not dreaming

And by the way a medical doctor should know better.

Now, what I actually mean about your experience having no connection to reality is this;

If at those times when you usually hear your father calling, you later get to confirm that he has been trying to reach you or was about to call you for something, then your experience is connected to reality.

In your case, have you ever experienced that? You get to confirm your dad was about to call you later?

Some persons have reported having a late parent appearing after death to inform them about something which they later verify to be true.

For instance, your late father appearing to you in what appears to be a dream or trance ,to inform you that one of his friends who owe him some money while he was still alive is coming the next day to payback the money.

Then tomorrow comes, the said friend brought the money to you. Would you then describe your experience as hallucination?

People have had such experiences and still do. I myself have had such an experience before but it is not something I feel going back to because it brings some uncomfortable memories tied to that period.

So there's a difference between what is hallucination and some "real "experiences that lots of people not understanding it mistake for hallucination as in the case of the op. That is certainly not hallucination . It is something science may be able to explain better someday.

What is a hallucination because it seems you have a different understanding of it from me.

hupernikao:
When it comes to what is written, opinion are just what they are, they count for nothing

When you are faced with defending what you query and you continue neglecting meaning of text, no one will take your personal opinion serious. This is the reason you need to start researching your defence well and not opinion because the day will surely come, when you will be held one on one to do a textual evidence of what you hold as false or claim to be false, it will be a bad display if you just keep telling them personal opinion that deviate from what is written.

I didn't ask you for meaning nor do I need to defend anything since what is written is clear. You on the other hand have what you think you need to defend.

triplechoice:
I don't think ordinary trauma could have led to that experience if not nearly everyone would be seeing ghost

As for the voice of your dad, it is hallucination because it doesn't connect to anything real in your life. That's what separates hallucination from some strange experiences that can't be rationally explained.

I

Why do you think trauma could not have led to it? And really no trauma is ordinary.

What do you mean by not connected to anything real? My name is not real or my father's voice was not real?

hupernikao:
.

Likely you are resting another Bible. If it's the same in my hands, I will believe that you can hold your personal opinion. That's the reason you write an give your own personal interpretation. But when you want to have a honest interpretation you will seek to understand what's written.

But you have right to hold your own view, even if you few Christians who wants to dwell in errors adhere to their wrong and false explanation of the scriptures, so it's not a new thing. But what opinions can not do is to change the truth.

A truth will always be a truth even among many lies, truth won't change its color to a lie, likewise a lie won't become a truth no matter how much its painted.

You can interpret the text anyway that soothes you but the text is clear your god employs deception to his own ends.
