Gabrielshow24:
🧐 what's your own? Na my God talk am🙃. Go dwell on something else.

So your god doesn't know how snow and hail are made? LoLz. Exactly the way an Iron age writer wouldn't know. But for a 21st century person to continue to hold on to Iron age ignorance is a sight to behold.

Gabrielshow24:
Yes, when God made man, male and female. He made us all! Genesis 1:27

Also, from God's conversation with Job, the Lord has storehouses for things so it's imperative to also deduce that he has a storehouse for men. "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail?" Job38:22

It might not be accurate to use "storehouse" but a temporary dwelling place for human spirits will be in order.

How can a 21st century CE human being with all the knowledge of weather systems available to us claim that there is a storhouse for snow and hail? What kind of regressive thinking is this?

DeepSight:
Probably works for the embassy.

I won't be surprised if we find out it was so.

WriteerNg:
They've always used older tanks. Right from day one of the war.

Research before embarrassing yourself.

Yet you were disputing the claim so obviously it's you who is embarrassing theirself.

DeepSight:
Alright.

Pls don't bother with the Russian Tanks thing.

There are better things to think about.

WriteerNG is such a Russian propaganda hog it's bewildering.

DeepSight:
Reed, are you half Russian?

Nope.

WriteerNg:
Lol. So if you were Russia you'll use your newer tanks while the older ones sit in storage right?

You're a Russian weapon inspector that have seen newer tanks run out from their inventory right?

What have they been using up to this point where they are bringing out the older tanks?

WriteerNg:
You said the tanks are immobile, motionless. That is they don't move.

What I'm reading in the article is that they miss their target while they move. Which is quite normal for older tanks.

Russia has far newer tanks used on the battlefield that don't have that issue (T-90, T-80).

That is not what I said. I said they can't fire while moving. They have to be immobile to fire.

They have practically run of the newer tanks to throw at the war.

U.S. Abrams Tanks Fail to Deliver Expected Impact in Ukraine - Close Aide to President Biden

Read up on it,it wasn't Russian tanks that was besting them. It was drones, antitank weapons and targeted artillery that took them out and that was because they were been used exactly the way a tank SHOULDN'T be used in modern warfare, as a stationary unit.

Meanwhile it still doesn't change the fact that Russia is bringing out old tanks to use.

Deeprooted:
I am the type that buys whatever I come across deemed good for the family, especially while on road trip.

I noticed each time I tell my wife the actual price of the items I bought, she always complain I was cheated by the seller.

These are items you hardly can get within the city center.

The issue now is that, I'm now scared of telling her the true worth of the items I recently got while returning from South South. It was a road trip so I bought plenty cheap food stuff.

Madam say I no Sabi price. I just tire.
These are stuff I considered very very cheap.

Who the experience the same thing abeg ?

Forget about what she says or don't tell her. She is probably the type that thinks she's the best at haggling so anything you say she'll say she could have made a better deal. Save yourself the headache and relax knowing you did your best for the family.

WriteerNg:
Show us one Russian tank that exhibited that rubbish you just described up there.

Secondly you said Russian tanks are mothballed and outdated. Well those outdated tanks are currently obliterating the so called sophisticated US tanks in Ukraine.

If they aren't, how do you explain Ukraine losing more and more territories every day and also retreating.

Shouldn't they be advancing and winning over Russia with such powerful tanks?

See an excerpt in the screenshot.

I didn't ask you to repeat your propaganda assertion. Show me where you saw that Russian tanks are besting US/European tanks in Ukraine.

If they are besting them as you said why are they bringing out 1970s tanks to put in the war?

WriteerNg:
Are you high?

Show me one instance where Russia has used immobile tanks.

You don't understand English in the morning? If a tank cannot fire while moving then it has to stop to fire, making it immobile.

You show me one instance Russian tanks outclassed US/European tanks in Ukraine.

Kaliningrad:
Show us the ones Ukraine is using. Let's see if they're any different. What does stabilizers have to do with armored tanks.

Let's assume you're right. Isn't it shameful that Russia is using "mothballed tanks" to defeat Ukraine and demilitarize NATO?

These "mothballed tanks" are outclassing so called "sophisticated" US/NATO tanks in Ukraine. Isn't that shameful?

You're living in a bubble. You think Hollywood is the same as reality right? You'll learn a bitter lesson.

Israel has nukes but Iran without nukes decimated them left and right and destroyed their cities.

Only one country have ever used Nukes to win a war. The United States. They nuked Japan and without that Japan wouldn't have surrendered.

Did Russia use Nukes to defeat Nazi Germany?

Before Nukes were invented, was the West afraid of Russia? Yes or No?

Shows what you know. Without stabilisers a tank cannot fire while in motion. In modern warfare an immobile tank is a sitting duck.

Outclassed which tanks? LoLz. Guy you are dreaming.

You are obviously the one living in a Russian propaganda bubble since you don't know a simple thing about how much losses Russia has suffered that they had to bring in outdated tanks to the war front.

Chubhie:
Trump belongs to the theatre. Putin has learnt not to be deceived again. Russia position remains unchanged. If Europe and America continue to play hardball, it will eventually be decided at the battlefield.

Russia is scavenging mothballed tanks that have no stabilisers from Siberia. You guys should stop being such propaganda hogs. A war is costly for all involved especially if your territory is invaded so there are many reasons not go to war but it is not because Russia has some mythical military might. The biggest deterance is their nuclear arsenal. If Ukraine still had theirs Russia would not have invaded them.

PulaPower:
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that in the ecosystem..

There are things lions, tigers can do that sheep’s, antelopes dare not try..

You wanna enjoy life? Strive hard to become a lion/tiger/hyena..

The predators are always at the top of the ecosystem!

That is because in the jungle there are no laws or civilization. If we want a society that works then some things must be corrected.

budaatum:
No! I'm not a Christian. I do go to church sometimes though. Got this wonderful old woman who walks very slow, the journey from her 5 minutes away house takes an hour. I love walking with her.

Wow even in your condition bro?

Nnamdipapa:
This happened to my dad, not me, and he told us the story afterwards.

There was a day when one of his friends decided to visit him at our home. Then my dad was newly married and had three kids, our eldest sister and the twins, all girls at the time. This guy came into our home, settled down, and after exchanging greetings, my dad sent Mom to the kitchen to prepare a special meal to welcome his friend. When the friend saw my three sisters, he remarked to my dad, " So your wife just gave birth to earings full house for you"? In my language, " In my native Anambra tongue, he said, "O soso iyeri nti kan nwanyi a mu ju ri gi uno?.

Meaning, it was only girls that my mom bore for my dad? My dad had to call my mom from the kitchen, ask her to stop cooking the meal. He looked at his friend and said, "It's time for you to go home". That man was never welcomed again in our home and I was not born yet when this happened.

I like your dad. No time for disrespectful lil shìts.

frugal:
No! It’s bad manners. As a guest, you don’t live here, you don’t know the condition of my appliances. You can’t just go switching on things without asking.
If I go to anyone’s home or office, I’ll always ask before turning on anything. What are you saying? Is this even an argument?
If you’re hot, ask for the ac to be turned on or if you can turn it on. Very simple request: “can I turn on the ac?” Or “is the ac functional?”

Please Don’t use this overzealousness to go and burn somebody’s home o or even finish the little unit of electricity they’re managing. Always ask. It will not kill you to ask first.

Abi o. Will it kill you to ask?

budaatum:
No, not sickle cell. Got hit by a parasite that crippled my spine and ruined my plumbing after almost killing me.

Cousin was diabetic. He's buried 6 feet deep.

Holy Andromeda. Didn't know the extent of your condition my dear buda.

SeraphicWind:
I help the less privileged more than you know.

Many of you are missing the point of the thread.

Helping the least advantaged in the society is not my problem. I do that.

I am talking about the very fact that Winners Chapel I criticised a lot for collecting tithes from people now takes my own tithe.

That is the mystery.

It is not a mystery. We can clearly see you've bought into the prosperity gospel. What is a mystery is why you think this is mysterious. Are you unable to discern your own motivations?

SeraphicWind:
I said "God's blessings has been more than enough for me." to counter your initial opinion that I am only giving to access "some hidden "blessing" that accrues to you for donating your money."

This implies that God has blessed me even before giving. Therefore my giving is not tied to any material expectations. Even though I will gladly accept if it comes.

So if I am not giving to be blessed, why am I now giving money to someone I criticised heavily in the past for "taking people's money"?

That is the point of the thread in which the best answer will be rewarded.

It doesn't matter if you did it with that expectation, you have bought into the whole caboodle.

Answer this question

DeepSight:
Ask him whether he considers giving directly to a beggar, an orphanage, a cripple etc as sufficient.

And why do you not do this instead of donating your money to some already rich guy?

SeraphicWind:
But in all honesty, I am not looking for "some hidden "blessing" that accrues to you for donating your money."

There lies the mystery.

You may not believe it but God's blessings has been more than enough for me.

I am not a greedy Soul. I am contented with what I have.

So why do I now give same man of God my money? Something I vehemently opposed in the past?

You may not believe it but 15 years ago or so, I won't give him 1 naira.

Dude you already gave the game away with this statement:

You may not believe it but God's blessings has been more than enough for me.

Very clear you've bought into it hook, line and sinker.

SeraphicWind:
Growing up many many years ago in Nigeria, I insulted the hell out of Oyedepo. I will not lie. I was quite young and naive then.

My favourite name for him back then was OLE-DEPO (GOD Forgive me though)

There was even some tribalism to it because I was worried as why a YORUBA MAN will be making that much money in Igboland through DECEPTION.

I will go online back then and query why normal human beings will give a percentage of their salary to someone who was doing far better than most of them.

I saw them as mad or mentally unstable people.

I was very young and naive. Quite understandably.

But here is the mystery.

I have grown up, travelled out of the country and settled down to a very good life.

Every month though, I change a part of my small salary and send to the Church of David Oyedepo. A sizeable amount of my small money for his mission works. Without him asking me for a dime.

Same thing I fought against vehemently both online and offline.

I have not met him before. I have not attended his church before.

I am not under any mental, spiritual or emotional manipulation. Trust me on this.

Who can explain this?

What happened to me?

Very simple. You've bought into the mental gymnastics and are now operating under the same illusion that there is some hidden "blessing" that accrues to you for donating your money.

DeepSight:
Also remind me the religion of those who fought to retain slavery again?

To add: both the Old and New Testaments contain presciptions for maintaining slavery.

RealityKings1 is acting deliberately obtuse because it is indefensible. Christians defended slavery to the death.

RealityKings1:
It was Lordreed that made the claim that Christianity abolished slavery after 1700 years.
I just used his point to key my response in.

So it's between you and him to determine who's ascribing the credit

So you are going to act obtuse to the fact that until the abolitionists, Christians had no problem with owning slaves? LoLz. Na wa o.

DeepSight:
It is ridiculous to give anyone credit for abolishing and abomination that they themselves practiced.

Serial Killer: I have stopped serial killing, now a round of applause for me!

RealityKings1:
Slavery came before Christianity, so if Christianity was able to abolish it after 1700 years just like you admitted ... then Christianity wield a strong positive influence not just spiritually but socially, economically.

its good to know the Great Britain saved you from slavery when they abolished slavery in 1855

Japan abolished slavery 500years before the British abolishionists arose. Christianity is not what was necessary to abolish slavery. Left to Christians at the time you would have been enslaved.
