God bless u luvmijeje, infact I luv jeje, u can imaging how our brothers from the east will rush to come defend their own, always on the wrong page.

That's politics. Believe it or not, our brothers from the East not all, are playing the role of opposition or in Ekiti, the role of the ruling party facing the might of the ruling party that is at the center.

We that are not politicians just need to differentiate between what's real and what's politics.

No, the National Assembly has no right. The loser goes to court.

They are all riggers.

He should show Nigerians the evidence. I absolutely don't trust him. Rather than for him to heat up the system unnecessarily, let him back every of his bark with a supportive evidence.

But why is Fayose sitting on the floor? Fayose and theatrics.

MuttleyLaff:
I had earlier yesterday wanted to pull you up on this, but let it until now slide
You would do well to revisit James 1:27
and then come back to clarify here, the sort of religion, you stated confidently and forcefully, as a fact, that is the problem of terrorism

Every single religion that believes there is only one way to God and every other way is evil. And you are all guilty. Your disrespect for each other. Your condescending attitude towards each other proves it(I'm also guilty too).

Hope how sure are you that the Quran is not referring to John of Patmos, the writer of the book of Revelation?

Butterflyleo:
What are the other ways to God?

cc muttleylaff

I'm happy that you copied muttleylaff. And I'm happy you're now seeing not challenging something that oppose your belief is not the best tactics.

The Muslim have their way of communicating with God. The Buddhist have their way of communicating with God. The Sango worshippers have their own way of communicating with God. The Atheists has their own way of communicating with God(I'm expecting them to debunk and I'll prove them wrong)

Just because they don't communicate to God the way you do doesn't make them evil. It doesn't make you superior than them. It doesn't make them a fool and it doesn't make them a swine.

And just because they don't communicate to God the way you do doesn't mean God is not making use of them, the way He does with you.

Oga OP, there's this misconception in the Christian world that Abraham made a mistake by marrying Hagar. Well I'm about to debunk that misconception.

There is nothing Abraham did that's not in obedience to God. Is it the circumcision. Is it leaving his home of origin. Is it getting a wife for Issac? Abraham has been working in obedience.

SO what makes you think after walking so long in obedience, that he didn't ask for God's consent before accepting Hagar as wife from Sarah,

If he indeed ask for consent and it's God's plan for him to marry Hagar, then the narrative of Abraham being the problem of terrorism has to change.

The Problem of terrorism is not Abraham Sir. It's religion. The teaching of man to think there's only one way to God. While every other way is evil.

RuthlessLeader:
Perhaps not. But know he knows his problems are not because of a devil that cannot be seen or felt, or his prayers are not answered because of one excuse or the other.

Good afternoon

But the problem still exist?

As someone has said, advise him.Let him know the impact of his behavior and tell him to be free to point out your own fault too.

Honestly, some of us that are good advisers are not free of fault either.

OkpaAkuEriEri:
wat u said is too much for ur fada's brain.
Y d insult?
U wia talking in parables.human being is not the temple of God.Christ ask peter to build the church which is his temple.
That temple is the Vatican

See someone who goes to church everyday of his life talking like an untrained person. Is this in the Bible? Did Christ not tell you to turn next chin when you're being slapped?

Church don't go through some of you. You will just be going through church.

Anyway back to the issue, sorry my post came across as insultive.Your reaction buttress my point. You have all seen going to church as ticket to heaven. And you all forget to work on your relationship with God. If your relationship with God is tight, you won't be afraid of hell.

OkpaAkuEriEri:
I don't undastand u.
Dis post hv confuse me d more

I know what I said is much for you. So let me simplify it. Just because you didn't go to church doesn't me you will go to hell as long as your heart is with God. You're the temple of God. It's wherever you're in obedience is where God is.

I know that's also much for you.

God bless you o Jare. Maybe they think that they are vying for the President of Lagos. I don't think they know how big Nigeria is and the challenges of having men at every polling units. If you're going that big then you must have political base in every state of this country and I know they don't have.

The insecurity is due to failure of leadership from every level of governance. The literacy level and the culture may play a role but what we are seeing in as a result of the greed of politicians. They are arming these guys for election purposes and when it all ends, they will turn the guns against the masses.

Now that he has stopped believing in God, has his problems decreased?

In all honesty, we are all heretic before God. Thank God for His grace.

Are you being held at gunpoint?

OP, this thread remind me of my one of favorite song.*start singing*
In your presence I'm happy. In your presence I'm so glad *end singing*

Op, I know you can't be like me but I can only advise. Being in God's presence is not going to church Sir. It's being in his presence 24/7 of your life and you can only do that by by hearing and hearkning to him every seconds of your life.

When you start doing that, what your priest says won't matter. You can be going to church and be disobedience. You will still go to hell.

They all buttress her point. God is neither male nor female. God is everything in one. The religionist are limited by what they have been taught all their lives. So when you argue contrary to their views, they will believe it's heresy. Questioning what they have been taught will be a sin because they have been programmed to believe it's a sin.

I'm out of this thread. No more argument.

Butterflyleo:
Totally

Good. Do you know that we as individuals have different purposes? And because we do, God will never ever give us the same instructions. Every single men that wrote a book in the Bible all hears from God. They all wrote down instructions God gave to them and they are all different instructions.

Butterflyleo, when will you start living your life according to the instructions God gave to you?

You know most religious people are disobedience because you will say what God's telling you is not in the Bible?

For crying out loud. God commanded Abraham to commit murder. If God commanded the modern religious people, you will ban the devil. Think on it.

Butterflyleo:
I have been using scripture to back up my responses to you and will do so again




I am also not religious but I am a son of God who lives according to the words of my Father.

When God wants to use them or finishes using them, you will see and know it.
You are not God so step out of the way and let God use them and not you.


God says HE WILL DO SO and not you.

He knows how to call them to himself.

Let me quickly ask you a question. Do you hear from God?

iStayWoke:
Atheist men also make love better than their non-Atheist counterparts, "according to a research that must not be named." A woman married to an atheist is in for a feast of örgasms.

What's the relevance of this? Some of you need help.

chemystery:
OK, when you haven't known god, atheists were convincing but when you knew god, atheists became unconvincing?

Am I speaking in French? I wasn't sure of God, so their arguments seems convincing. With what I've now know, I'll crush every single of their foolish argument.

MuttleyLaff:
What are you on about?
1/ What is the benefit of falling under His power?
2/ How many times in the bible, is there, of people drawing backward and falling to the ground under Jesus' power?
3/ What grace of Jesus, did those band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees in John 18:6 have to feel, before falling?

Oga we are talking of events that happened after the coming of the Holy Spirit. You are talking of events before the advent of the Holy Spirit. Falling under the Spirit is different from falling in reverence to Christ. You can't control the first while you are conscious of the later.

iStayWoke:
Are you religious or spiritual?

I'm Spiritual.

Butterflyleo:
For those outside Christ, their love is selfish.

THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY HIS SPIRIT

That is the only way to love your neighbour AS YOURSELF.

Without the spirit of God working out the love of God in you and through you, nobody can love to that extent.

Don't be surprised, those who love supposedly in God are more selfish than those who are not claiming it.

I've seen it all. And what I known is that God make use of the imperfect to fufill his purpose in our lives. God make use of the Atheist, the Muslims and the traditional worshippers to fufill His purpose. I refuse to put God in a box called religion.

chemystery:
How do you know you are more convincing when you have already admitted your opponent is convincing? It's like trying hard to be truer than the truth even after admitting to have been presented with the truth

I was telling you my past. It was when I've not yet known God.

MuttleyLaff:
You're right that as you'll soon see that falling doesn't mean you are not going to commit sin the next hour talkless of the next day

This remark is wrong,
as falling under His Presence DOES NOT simply means His grace
It actually maens simply falling under the power



⁴Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
⁵“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
Jesus said, “I am He.”
And Judas, His betrayer, was standing there with them.
⁶When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
⁷So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
⁸“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied...
- John 18:4-8

This is a wrong example to give of how it did happen in bible days
Notice in John 18:6 above, how under the power of the voice and utterance of Jesus, the soldier went backward and fell to the ground.
The spoken word, I AM, the mere authoritative declaration of the expressive phrase I AM, is physically strong to overpower and cause to fall

But does everyone fall under his power? For you to feel talkless of fall, it takes His grace.
