Php 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Na you dey die na, christians don't die in the Bible sense, we sleep. You know say i like trouble well.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

OMFD! All those Christians corpses that have rotted to nothing are sleeping. I didn't know you rot into nothing while sleeping.

Thanks for the new comedy skit bruv. I need the laughter. LMFAO!

See the mirror
Rom_1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Not convenient like saying Wait patiently I'll come suddenly when you've been dead for thousands of years. Dude the 4 fingers are pointing back at you bruv. LMAO!

Be objective and reasonable, please. We are discussing Bible, not your resume. So at least, respect those that understand it, or you could just go off to the beer parlour to have a laugh at your understanding. What sounds silly is you giving the Bible your own idea of a timeframe when prophecy must be fulfilled. This is why i pointed you to the fact that the prophecy of the 1st coming took 4000years to be fulfilled. No plot hole anywhere except what you have assumed for yourself. Enoch lived since Genesis 5, and he was said to prophecy about the coming judgement which is still after Christ's second coming. According to the Bible for those that understand it, the prophecy of Enoch is still at least 1000 years away from today.
Jud 1:14  And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 

It is not news but a common thing for Bible prophecies to take "long" to be fulfilled. It's long to you, but not to God, before whom 1000 years is said to be as one day. Of course, you don't want to understand these things and i understand that, but don't make a fit of yourself in the process.
The same Bible says to wait patiently for His coming. What is the need to wait patiently if He's coming in your estimation of 'quickly'? i say it again, it's your right and choice to pick that word of all the different meanings it can have. Many church people pick the same 'quickly' and it's fine. But don't come to whine and force laughs when you have no intention to reason. If you are not ready to wait and would rather insist Jesus must come 'quickly', you are free to petition the UN or Supreme Court if you please. i only showed the confusion you have.

LoLz. How does any of this answer the question: where does it say he was coming quickly/soon/suddenly the first time around?

Instead, all you just did was bolster the notion that it is incredibly silly to interpret this as "Wait patiently I'll come suddenly when you've been dead for thousands of years", which is what you are saying. It makes not a lick of sense. Bwahahahahahahaha!

I mean you even push it to another 1000 years from now. I already said it before that people should expect Christians to do that because the 2000 year mark is approaching and that prophecy will fail as it has always and will always.

Image123:
Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come suddenly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

BTW which version of the Bible uses suddenly? No KJV version (KJ21, AKJV, KJV, NKJV) I checked uses suddenly so tell me where you got yours from.

DeepSight:
Dont you feel ashamed?

Why would he? His god approves of his self deceit. At least that's what he tells himself.

Image123:
Eerrmmm, He came 4000years after the first promise in Genesis 3, nothing new. Na you dey rush.

LoLz. You know it sounds silly to put it that way so you try to pivot in an effort to cover up the glaring plot hole.

BTW where does it say he was coming quickly/soon/suddenly the first time around?

Dey dribble your shadow dey go. Bwahahahahahaha!

I dunno how people are going to learn that AI chatbots are not sentient intelligences. Talking to chatbots if they are will lead you to issues.

Image123:
i feel your emptiness, like i said, we've been there.
Like i said, from the Greek language, the word in which the original book was written "tachu" (ταχύ) has different words to interprete it to. It goes more consistently with suddenly/without warning which other verses(which i have shown) support. But again, for the umpteenth time, like i have stated, if you want to choose quickly/soon, no problem. It's not my headache that you are confused. i am not, and those that say Jesus is coming soon are not complaining. If you choose to believe that as dribbling, great. Feel dribbled.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come ταχύ: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come soon: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:7 KJV Behold, I come suddenly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.


On the second matter, i will not further comment as you seem not to have an idea what the kingdom of God means. Enjoy the confusion, like i said earlier, it's common knowledge. You would have been taught in Winners when you were serious, perhaps you were absent or sleeping in church then. i have been discussing the Bible for some decades, and it's only ignorant people that ask questions or are confused on this, the clarification is pretty, usually straightforward and staring you in the face.

Wait patiently I will come suddenly thousands of years after you are dead. Bwahahahahahaha!

Guy na you talk say kingdom of god na light show so any confusion is yours. LMAO!

Comedy gold my dude. LMFAO!

Image123:
No, the Greek word used can be translated in different words, like quickly, or soon, or suddenly. Nothing comic about it, be objective. You have Google and AI to assist you confirm.
i showed you other scriptures that said to patiently wait. Let's pretend you didn't see it at first as it doesn't agend your agenda.

i am not telling us what the kingdom of God means, the Bible is telling us. It's funny because you seem to have some definition of yours different from Peter's or mine. When Christians seek first the kingdom of God as commanded, do they first get your definition, and then other things are added?

Guy if you like dribble your shadow from morning till night it will not translate to greater than 2000years. How do you patiently wait for something that will not happen even after you are dead for thousands of years? Why deceive yourself like this?

So when Christians are waiting for the Jesus to come in his kingdom its a light show they are waiting to see? Please guy this your comedy wan burst my chest with laughter. Bwahahahahahaha!

DeepSight:
Stop being disingenous. The Son of Man coming in his kingdom is well known to refer to the second coming of Christ.

The transfiguation did not show a "coming" (he was right there) and also did not show a "kingdom"

Me, I am just enjoying the mental gymnastics on display. LoLz.

Image123:
1. The Bible is not written in English, in the English translations, we have the word "quickly", not soon. The same Greek word can read "suddenly" which is more contextual. But like i already said, we that are waiting for Hima are patiently doing so. So bear with us, that's our style over here.

Rom_8:25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Heb_12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Jas_5:7  Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

The same Bible that says "quickly" also says we should be patient for it. Anyways, agenda must agend, no other source of joy for you but to lolz curiously. i understand, we were there before we found Jesus.

2. What is the kingdom of God since you know it more than Peter or me. You seem to have a totally different idea, so kindly share.

So now quickly means greater than 2000years in Greek? LMAO. Bros this your comedy suppose win award.

You are the one telling us kingdom of God means a light show na. Bwahahahahahaha!

Image123:
You refer to these verse(s)
Rev 22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 
Rev 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 
Rev 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 

The original Greek word you used there can be rendered as quickly like most versions do, or soon, like you said. It may also be rendered as by surprise, or suddenly. Jesus is going to come by surprise or suddenly, like a thief in the night(some other passage says). But if we want to stick with soon, like many of us christians also do, it is no problem. It is our wait, not yours. Exercise patience like we do. The first coming took over 4000 years, why are you in a rush to label the second a failure when you have just spent some few decades on earth? Lol. You are so eager to see Him come yet you don't believe, it's hilarious.
As to your second question, here is what the scriptures said. It's usually the ignorant asking this, i thought you'd already been taught this in church. It must have been taught in Winners when you were serious, maybe you skipped church or came late that day. The transfiguration happened about a week after, what are you still looking for, lolz?
Luk 9:27  But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. 

Luk 9:28  And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Luk 9:31  Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 
Luk 9:32  But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 

2Pe 1:16  For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 
2Pe 1:17  For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

More comedy. What is written in your Bible is soon but I am the one in a rush. Bwahahahahahaha!

You are the people shouting upandan that Jesus is coming soon and making predictions on what day yet I am the one in a rush. Comedy upon comedy. LMAO.

And some more comedy, it says "till they see the kingdom of God" but yeah sure some magic lights is the kingdom. Bwahahahahahaha!

DeepSight:
For sure. They would quote the verse saying people in hell have unquenchable thirst.

LMAO!

DeepSight:
Even if the statement "I am in flames" were true, that is more suggestive of being in physical pain or a fever from his illness at the moment and certainly not hellfire - which would be illogical because one could not go to the alleged hell fire while still on Earth.

Yep. Even if he had said "Give me water" they would have twisted it to something else, that's how much mental gymnastics they do.

DeepSight:
Typically, he who asserts must prove. I only warned you that the genrality of claims such as yours are false.
Of course we understand that you are hesitant to provide your source and we already know why.

Nonetheless, I extract the following for you:

-----------------
It is widely reported that David Hume's last words were "I am in flames!" However, there is some debate about the accuracy of this account, and it has been suggested that the quote may be a later invention, particularly from works of Christian proselytizing.

According to a letter from his friend Adam Smith, who visited him shortly before his death, Hume died in a "happy composure of mind" and "with a steady cheerfulness." Another account from diarist James Boswell, who saw Hume a few weeks before his death from abdominal cancer, states that Hume was "placid and even cheerful" and said that it was a "most unreasonable fancy" that there might be life after death. Hume also stated that he was not perturbed by the idea of ceasing to exist, any more than he was by the idea that he had not existed before he was born.

In his brief autobiography, "My Own Life," which he wrote as he was dying, Hume stated, "I have done every thing of consequence which I ever meant to do; and I could at no time expect to leave my relations and friends in a better situation than that in which I am now likely to leave them. I therefore have all reason to die contented."
-----------------------------

*Culled

I want to see the mental gymnastic he uses to respond to this. LoLz.

Image123:
Eerm, it took Jesus about 4000 years from Adam after He was promised to come bruise the head of the serpent. Roughly 700 years from Isaiah's popular prophecy. Na you dey in a rush to see who you no believe.

Was the word soon purportedly used by anyone other than Jesus? No. Did anyone other than Jesus purportedly say some people currently seeing him will not die before they see him come again in glory? No.

So 1990+years later you are still waiting for an obviously failed prophecy and you are saying I am rushing. LoLz. Nice comedy skit bro. Bwahahahahahahahaha!

DeepSight:
I hope you know that claims that famous atheists (or other non religious people) made X or Y or Z statement at the point of their death are a common falsehood?

You have to wonder why their religions require falsehoods to keep them in fear.

DeepSight:
This is because you are fearful that we will find that you have been deceived by a common scam.

LoLz. Dude probably heard it from some preacher and goes around with it stuck to his craw, afraid of his own shadow now.

Jashub:
I will not do that for you . Just go down the rabbit hole like every other person who seeks knowledge does .

Bwahahahahahaha! The believers kryptonite, ask them to produce evidence. So transparently dishonest, I dunno why I expected any difference.

Jashub:
So you do not believe in recorded memoirs abi? Can you see how lost you are ? Lol...so what about other like Voltaire, Thomas Payne etc...

What recorded memoir said Hume was repentant at his deathbed? State the author's name and the title of the memoir.

Jashub:
You do not have up to 1% of the knowledge in the universe, so you are in no position to tell us what is real and what is fake .

Was David Hume's death in the 99% you don't know? If it is then why offer it up as any kind of argument for your belief? If it isn't then we can know if it was real or not. Do you have any evidence of his deathbed confession? No you don't, only a fake story like you like to believe. And I submit to you it was fake because someone who saw him before he died recorded it and there was nothing like that.

DeepSight:
It usually takes some really dyed in the wool fundamentalist of the kind that is able to die for a cause to do such. In short, it is more likely that the type of person who can be a suicide bomber can do such. Make no mistake, 99.99999% of Nigerian religionists have no such attributes. They are, by contrast, very ready to twist, deny and even tear apart their scripture for personal gain.

LoLz.

DeepSight:
The funny thing is that he would not. He would say it is the voice of demons.

LoLz. Maybe but I wouldn't put it past some of these folks. It has happened for real one too many times.

Jashub:
No problem. Keep laughing. One day , you will end up saying the same words that David Hume said on his deathbed

Another fake story. That's what y'all do, believe fake stories. LoLz.

gohf:
There are those who believe that those who believe in God throw reason and logic away, and follow God "blindly" and I know some who believe may say, we live by faith not by sight 2 Corinthians 5:7.

But you do! You believe your god commanded someone to sacrifice his only son and the person obeyed. If your so called god commands you to do the same you would!

Jashub:
Why do you keep joking with your salvation ? Anyway, if it does not happens this year, nothing will stop me from still waiting for His return. Because I know that one day, it will surely happen!

LoLz. I am joking because it is a joke. 1990+ years and you still think he is coming soon. 1990 is soon to you?

Till you grow old and die nothing will happen. Your generations till the universe ends will not see anything like it.

Jashub:
...but what if it happens ? What will you do ?

It won't but if does I'll eat my boxers. If it doesn't happen what will you do?

Jashub:
I believe the answer to this can found in the book of 2 Thessalonians 2 where Paul warns of the falling away of the church which then gives rise to the revelation of the man of lawlessness .

But it may also be that Satan is using this tactic to wear out believers and make the church of Jesus a joke to the world. But I would like you to watch a video i saw online some days ago. It speaks of this South African pastor (Joshua) who said Jesus appeared to him physically and gave 23-24th of September 2025 as the day of rapture. He justified this revelation by saying that Jesus told him that when He stated that No one knows the day or hour... he was referring to a Jewish audience and when I checked that statement online, it meant the Jewish feast of Trumpets , which happens to be on the 23rd and 24th of this month. But what do you make of it?

I can bet you anything that this will not happen. Neither a dead and gone Jesus will come back, nor will any "anti-Christ" be revealed. It will be the same as all the other times for the last 1990+years anybody has come out and said the same thing and they all failed including Jesus himself according to what he purportedly said.

I just stumbled on the Super Mario Bros game that was first released in 1985. Fond memories. I used my saved pocket money to buy the Terminator Game Console that we used in playing Super Mario and other games like Contra, Duck Hunt and Mortal Kombat.

I literally trekked to school for a long time just to save N850 which I used to purchase the game. This was in 1996. My house became a theatre, always filled with friends until Popsy seized the game and asked me to concentrate on my books. If you get this game console that year, you be sabi pikin.

How many of you saw the princess at the end in Super Mario?

I had one that allowed you to level skip to the last boss fight before the Princess. Those were the days.

Should I prepare for shortages?


Nigeria's 650,000 bpd Dangote Refinery faces a prolonged gasoline outage after reports that repairs to its catalytic cracking unit could take two to three months, far longer than the earlier two-week estimate. The refinery's Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (RFCCU), the key gasoline-making unit, has been offline since August 29 following catalyst leaks, with Reuters citing IIR Energy analysis as saying that major equipment replacement is required, extending downtime into November.

Haba, new refinery already having these kind of extended maintenance? WTH.

Truthseeker10:
😂😂😂in other words your idea of "doing good to yourself and everyone around you to find the meaning of life in your opinion" does not stop survival. We don't need it as much as your animal forefathers didn't need it. You're simply just preaching morality like religious people.

LoLz. Suit yourself man.
