Shelumiel, do you even know what logic means lol? You're hands down the most unintelligent individual I've ever had the displeasure of meeting on Nairaland. You don't engage in debates, the only thing you know how to do is spam threads with your trolling comments. Even if I was a christian, I'd be ashamed that you share the same beliefs with me; You're as braindead as braindead can be lol grin grin. 4 out of 5 flies prefer your mouth over sh!t. If autism speaks, Shelumiel you are actually shouting.
Please leave this thread while you still can before the full package of your stupidity is exposed to the public. Useless garbage of a human being lol.

- by MuttleyLaff: 10:22am On Dec 29, 2018

I am not trying to make light of the ordeal or commonize it nor being insensitive to the pain and wound that's still very much fresh but honestly, c'est la vie. It is sad, we don't all take personal responsibility for ourselves and it is doubly sad when we are taken advantage of

Sexual assault, as we all know it, is unwanted and unlawful sexual intercourse period. In the case of adults, it is any sexual contact with someone, when a person, male or female, touches another person sexually without their consent, and touching can be done with any part of the body or with an object. It essentially is, when a person is coerced or physically forced to engage in sex against their will. I remember on Dec 29, 2018, as clear as day, saying, I see you as a strong woman that you are and that's was from knowing that you are a beautiful, fearless, feisty, tough and strong survivor.

"Listen! I am sending you out just like sheep to a pack of wolves.
You must be as cautious as snakes and as gentle as doves.
"
- Matthew 10:16

Most people, really aren't who they say they are and that's why I wish people look like their true personalities because, take for example, the "born again married boss" that is a wolf among sheep. He didn't appear as a wolf in wolf's clothing but came as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now blaming the wolf isnt going to help the sheep much. The sheep taking cognizance of Matthew 10:16 above, must learn not to fall into the clutches of the wolf

"Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people.
But God keeps his promise, and He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm;
at the time you are put to the test, He will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.
"
- 1 Corinthians 10:13

Is this a rhetorical question?

If we are to ask, "why me?" about bad things, then we equally, should also ask, "why me?" about the good things that's happened over, in our lives, so if to counter "WHY ME?" with WHY NOT YOU?, then obviously, it's purely because as in 1 Corinthians 10:13 above, you could handle it.

MuttleyLaff:
Intriguingly asked, what chronic illness since birth that scientifically has no cure is this?

Michellekabod1 certain things are usually done in tandem. Also one doesnt go to the baker asking for a block of brick instead of a loaf of bread

https://www.catholicireland.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/mustard-seed.jpg
"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them.
"I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed,
you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move.
Nothing would be impossible."

- Matthew 17:20

It isnt "...faith more than a mountain..." but correctly, it is faith the size of a mustard seed.

Have you ever at all, seen a mustard seed before? There above is a picture of one and the correct reading is "... if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move..." Now, are you familiar with hyperbole(s) and understand them?. Well Michellekabod1, that statement by Jesus is constructed as a hyperbole, it used extreme exaggeration to make a point and show emphasis. If I say, I am so hungry, I can eat a whole horse. You dont really believe, I can eat a whole horse, do you but you do get from statement, my point of how ravenously hungry I am

"18Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
19It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden.
It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”…
"
- Luke 13:18-19

"30Jesus said, "How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it?
31It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground. It is the smallest of all seeds,
32but it becomes the largest of all garden plants; it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade."
"
- Mark 4:30-32

31The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
32Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants
and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.

- Matthew 13:31-32

Jesus, also used mustard seeds as a hyperbole elsewhere, and that's in a parable. Luke 13:18-19, Mark 4:30-32 and Matthew 13:31-32, above, is where and how He used mustard seeds in a parable. Now, there's that certain knowledgeability by Mark, who knows, birds cant possibly build nests on mustard plant branches but do nest in its shade, however the extreme exaggeration in Luke 13:18-19 and Matthew 13:31-32 were not only used to make a point but also were used, to accentuate the point, that faith is powerful and faith grows from small beginnings to beyond the realm of reason unimaginable great happenings.

Who says you wasnt and/or havent being healed? Who says your healing hasnt been sanctioned?
Michellekabod1, it is with a heavy heart I am reading and responding to your post. I see a lot of familiarity of the knowledge of the bible in your comments and worrisomely see your vast swathes of lack of understanding the information in and/or knowledge of the bible.

Michellekabod1, do you know the potential of an acorn oaknut seed?
In that acorn oaknut seed, are furnitures for a home, like beds to sleep in, chairs or settees to sit and relax in, dinning tables to eat on, is the scaffolding planks for building a home, is a tree that birds will build nests in, is wood to make coffins with, you get the drift as the list goes on

Everything needed on earth is in a seed. Keep this in mind, because I am going to refer back to it and talk more about it, when responding to you next and immediately below

How and in what circumstances, did your health hinder you from studying abroad, when as you stated, you secured two admissions to study in Europe?

Aside you wondering, why what you saw on TV never occurred to those you know personally, have you also ever considered that, you might be the cause behind that, that it is you, withholding that healing?
Do you know what you would have learnt, if you had gone on that course, to study medicine?

Remember you secured two admissions to study medicine, two admissions to study in Europe?. Do you know the symbolic meaning of that number two in the context of your narrative? The two "admissions to study in Europe", the repetition is a guidance, advice or information aimed at telling you, to pay attention. That is why it is repeated twice. The repetition was encouraging you to build on faith and trust wholeheartedly in a latent supernatural ability you already have and residing in you, as a seed, that requires growing from and by going to medical school. Somehow you didnt figure this out, so did not follow on and follow through on it, now the miracle and healing is still inside that "seed". Its possibly you, from not going on to study medicine after securing two admissions in Europe, that's kept and still is keeping the world waiting on and waiting for this miracle and healing to happen.

The world has rules it obeys and abides by, and so everything happens within the rules, even miracles that Ranchhoddas is fascinated over it too is no exception, as it as well, happens within the rules. Checkmark that rules are obeyed and abide by, then Walla! Miracle happens

Now, you should appreciate and be getting to understand the reason why Jesus often uses hyperboles and especially with faith inconjunction with the mustard seed. My intention is not to set you off on a guilt trip, so I apologise in advance, if I have come across, being hard on you, direct, honest and brutal with the truth to you, especially moreso in what can be construed to be, revealing unpalatable facts to you.
The arrogance of christianity. Are atheists miserable and frustrated people? Yes. It's because of trash and arrogance like this.

Michellekabod1:
Healing
I have battled with a chronic illness since birth that scientifically have no cure. I have been prayed for the umpteenth time by men of God,prayer warriors, infact i even had the handkerchief blessed by a VERY POPULAR MAN OF GOD in Nigeria placed on me. My health got no better at all. Saying i had faith more than a mountain is an understatement,so why wasnt i healed? My health hindered me from studying medicine abroad when i secured two admissions to study in Europe.
Also, i realised i never knew anybody personally that got healed of any ailment. Nah! It nevers exceeds the television. I have known people with ailments that are christians and born agains despite a devotion to God. I often wondered why what i saw in the TV never occured to those i knew personally

I got what your saying but I think .....

It's either your friend and you are broke dudes for you to lament about 8k or that you don't place much valve on your ex- girlfriend, 8k only. Next time tell the friend to bet #50k -#100k if he meant business.


Now listen, any friend that can go to the extent of sleeping with your girlfriend in the name of bet is best tagged enemy. He can do same with your wife, sister, daughter, aunt, mother, mother -in- law or even your she-goat.


There is a limit to every thing. What stopped him from getting chat or text evidence of her willingness to sleep with him? But he actually did the do. To me that is gross. You are better off without that friend.




But above all things the babe is not worth keeping except on friends with benefit basis no mutual commitment where every party knows what is on the table for him or her.

Christianity EtcRe: The Origin Of Madness : The Three Smart Crooks by Martinez19(op): 8:20am On Jan 10, 2019
I rushed this chapter so don't mind the errors and typographical inconsistencies. I have to get busy for the day. I shall do the needful when I return. wink
Christianity EtcRe: The Origin Of Madness : The Three Smart Crooks by Martinez19(op):
NB: this is fiction and it's under no obligation to conform with reality.

CHAPTER SIX : meeting the people.

After few weeks of preparation and rehearsal, they were ready to handle the most critical moment of their lives. Two options were available: succeed and be wealthy leaders of crowds or fail to convince the people and be killed for fraud and blasphemy. To them, it was one of those moments where they dare not mess things up. While they could have saved themselves the trouble, they knew that the greater the suffering and risk, the sweeter and greater the glory. The day had finally come and they hid themselves in a bush beneath a tree with Zadok on top of the tree to alert them when the people were done and descending the mountain. Finally, with an alert from Zadok, they suddenly became lionesses ready to pounce on their prey.

ZADOK : (sees the people descending from the mountain and alerts his friends by whistling).

MATTAN : (in all seriousness). Achim, look at the sheeples coming. At the perfect timing, we shall run towards them and stand on that rock while acting like there is an emergency and their attention is desperately needed. At this point I need not remind you what to do for we've rehearsed more than I can count.

ACHIM : you can count on me not to miss.

MATTAN : (pauses for a minute) Now! Move it, no delay no nervousness.

MATTAN & ACHIM : (running towards the people as if they are frightened and there is a urgent matter that needs the people's attention. They were screaming at the top of their voices). wait! Wait everyone! You have to listen! Listen!

THE PEOPLE : (initially alerted and hysterical but finally calm and a bit concerned on recognising Mattan as one of their own).

MATTAN (dramatically fakes panting, climbs a rock and faces the people with more fake panting and fake tiredness).

Katem, the strong and fierce labourer serving as one of the people's main guards, steps forward and speaks.

KATEM : what brings you here with such sense of urgency? What could that be? Speak up!

MATTAN : (being dramatic with a faked sense of urgency and seriousness, he screams at the people). haven't you heard?! Haven't you heard?!

KATEM : (alert and curious) heard what exactly?

MATTAN : haven't we heard about where we all originated from? Why is there something rather than nothing? My fellow men and women, it is now known, the answers which we and our ancestors desperately searched for are now known.

THE PEOPLE : (suddenly silent and curious).

Manasa, Anakim's main apprentice who happened to be in charge of the people, speaks up. For all objects of worship, the main priests went to the highest mountain leaving their apprentices with the lower class.

MANASA : what are these answers? Tell us, tell us!

KATEM : tell us!

THE PEOPLE : (curious and hysterical, screaming in unison). tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!

MATTAN : calm down everyone. Take a look at our huts, our boats and our cave paintings, did they just come to be without being designed by intelligent beings which are our kind?

THE PEOPLE : No! Not at all!

MATTAN : If these things, which are obviously intelligently designed, were created by us, how much more something more complicated such as our kind, other living beings and our world? Just like our huts, boats and cave paintings, everything that exists must have been caused to exist by an intelligent mind far more greater than it's creation hence their is no chance that we and our world have always been and will ever be. Since the creation cannot be greater than the creator, our kind and our world were created by someone mightier than us and he revealed himself to me in all his glory and wanted me to tell you people about him, his will, his answers to life questions, solutions to life problems, and good tidings.

THE PEOPLE : (curious, carried away by the theatrics of Mattan and Achim and excited) tell us more! Tell us more! Tell us more! Tell us more! Tell us more!

MATTAN : I am going to tell you. In fact, I am happy to tell you but you shall promise that as I speak, there shall be no interruptions and I shall have fifty minutes of your time to speak. Promise?

THE PEOPLE : (exceedingly excited, hysterical and curious) tell us! We promise! Tell us!

MATTAN : (goes on for fifty minutes to perfectly dish out his system of beliefs covering all what he had planned and discussed with his friends).

THE PEOPLE : (stunned by Mattan's words and the apparent coherence of his belief system)

Someone, not easily identified, in the midst of the crowd shouts at loud.

SOMEONE : (shouts) only the true creator could know this!

KATEM : this makes a lot of sense and explains a lot. Indeed only the true creator could have known these things.

THE PEOPLE : (growing noisier, amazed and supportive of Mattan) tell us more! Lead and we shall follow! Long live the creator! Long live the creator! Long live the creator! Long live the creator!

Alas, the three friends have made it. They are now, for the moment at least, leaders of crowds. They had even won over some of Manasa's fellow apprentices but to the displeasure of the three friends, there was a weak resistance, a resistance too weak for Mattan's cunning brain.

MANASA : this is blasphemy and untrue. If it's true that those who don't believe in the creator would go to the place of eternal torment, what about our good and innocent ancestors who didn't know the creator because he wasn't revealed to them? Will he unjustly punish them?

MATTAN : (very angry and choosing his words carefully) shut your mouth you unrighteous one. For that time of unbelief, our creator winked at and overlooked but he has now called for everyone to repent, believe in him and follow him. Besides, how do you know I am lying? Why are you selfish? The creator has been merciful to the people to help them but you want to draw them back with your backward beliefs? Do you want to stain the land by the sin of disobedience and doubt and bring the wrath of the creator upon the people? Do you know that if one person deliberately sins, the blessings of the creator departs from the people? Shall you betray the people because of your future position as the sun chief priest? Shall the people permit such?

THE PEOPLE : (uneasy, hysterical and supportive of Mattan). long live the creator! Long live the creator! His will we shall do! His prophets we shall follow!

MATTAN : (ego trips the people and turns them against the king and priests of objects of worship). who is really the enemy of the people? The king who looks down on us, exploit us and doesn't care about us or the creator who valued us so much that he created us in his own image and is ready to pay attention to us? The king and chief priests of various objects of worships who look down on us and would only attend to important men or the creator who is willing to permit us into his abode when we die and bless us if only we simply believe in him? No gold, no silver or free labour to appease him, all you need do is simply believe. I ask again, who is really the enemy of the people? The king and chief priests or the creator?

THE PEOPLE : (filled with resentment towards the royal family, elites and chief priests). the creator! The creator! The creator! The creator! Down with the king and chief priests?

THE THREE FRIENDS : (smile to each other and deeply satisfied).

MANASA : this is outrageous! The king and the chief priests must hear this, this is sacrilege.

MATTAN : (angry at the risk Manasa is trying to him and hi not only are we exceedingly disregarded and looked down upon by the king, elites and chief priests, Manasa has the guts to persist to destroy us by turning us away from the creator and staining our community with his unrighteousness. Has he no regards for us too? Why seek to turn away the earthly and eternal reward that the creator has for the people? Shall the people tolerate this? I ask, shall the people tolerate this?

THE PEOPLE : (agitated and hysterical) no! No! No! No! No! Down with the traitors!

MATTAN : (acts as if he is receiving a revelation from the creator) oh yes, I can hear him. Speak my creator for your servant listens, what shall I tell your people?

THE PEOPLE : (suddenly silent and amazed).

MATTAN : thus says the greatest creator, everything that stains the people shall be cut off lest it discourages the people and brings the wrath of the creator upon the people. The creator is a consuming fire and he punishes iniquity down to the fourth generation. Take every soul that rebels against the creator kill them so that their sin and stench shall be wiped away from the land and the great blessings, not wrath, of the creator shall be unhindered. By doing this, the creator shall see that you people are indeed ready for his blessings.

THE PEOPLE : (more agitated and aggressive. They violently grab Manasa and other three apprentices. They beat Manama and his fellow apprentices to death and scream at the top of their voices). down with the traitors! Down with the traitors! Long live the creator! Long live the creator! Long live the Creator! tell us more! Tell us more! Tell us more!

So it was that the friends had finally succeeded in winning the people over. The people were ever willing to listen and obey Mattan's directives but there was something worth worrying about and that was the king, the elites, chief priests and soldiers. To Mattan's advantage, the people were way more numerous than the upper class and soldiers combined and it would be best if he wins the king and upper class over too. If the upper class believed him, he would undoubtedly be the undisputed king of crowds but if not, his life would be in danger for fraud and blasphemy. To his advantage, he prepared the people for a possible revolution.

MATTAN : we shall go to the upper class and tell them about our creator. This time, they must listen to us or else we revolt and soak the earth with their blood. The creator shall give us total victory. Do not fear the soldiers. Though our creator could strike them dead at instantly but he wants to give us total and sweet victory by our own hands. He shall be with us, none of us shall be fearful or intimidated by the soldiers for the creator is with us. Who is with me? I say who is with me?

THE PEOPLE : (chanting aggressively at the top of their voices) we are! We are! We are! We are! We are! We are! We are! We are!

THE THREE FRIENDS : [ (raise their hands in triumph and smiling at each other for a job well done.

KATEM : when do we meet the king and the upper class o ye prophets of the almighty creator.

MATTAN : tomorrow morning. Everyone must go back to their homes to meditate on what I have said and pray to the creator. Give him the honour he deserves and pledge your devotion to him for he is all powerful and cares for you. Early tomorrow morning, I shall alert you all and you shall match to the palace with our weapons. Nobody, I repeat nobody, shall stay behind lest the creator's wrath descends on the people. Who is with me?

THE PEOPLE : we are! We are! We are! We are!

MATTAN : the creator has a message for the people. He says that you people have not been reaping steadily from the soil but he has a solution that will work if only you shall listen. He revealed that message to Achim. Achim, please tell them what the creator has for them.

ACHIM : (climbs the rock) my people, the time of steady harvests has come. The creator is ready to bless the people with a steady and consistent harvest if only you shall obey the following when it comes to sowing your seeds in the soil. Are you ready to listen?

THE PEOPLE : (very excited and curious) tell us! Tell us! Tell us!

ACHIM : (goes on to tell them the right season to sow certain seeds as supposedly revealed to him by the creator. He also tells them about the weather patterns)

(an old man, aided by his able-bodied sons, speaks up).

OLD MAN : I think what you say is true concerning the whether pattern for I have observed them but for the planting seasons, I am not sure. I believe the creator is right and we shall see for ourselves and reap good harvest. Long live the creator! (coughs)

ACHIM : you shall see by the end of the harvest if the true creator speaks through us or not. If we don't reap good harvests after following the creators directives, behead me and my fellow prophets.

MATTAN : We have said enough for today. Before we disperse, I shall say that no one should doubt the creator for doubt is a terrible sin and separates the creator from the people. Tomorrow morning, we shall head to the palace. Go eat and do what I have told you people to do.

THE PEOPLE : (cheerfully going back home and screaming at the top of their voices) long live the creator! Long live the creator! Long live the creator!

(the deed was done and it was a success. The three friends still had more work to do but that didn't stop them from celebrating their victory as they walked back home alone since they took a different route).

ZADOK : (mockingly mimicking one of the people) "only the creator could know this."

ALL THREE : (burst into loud laughter).

MATTAN : there are many things to laugh about but let's focus on tomorrow's preparations for the big confrontation. Besides, we are in the open and we don't want anyone hearing us. Let's hurry home.

ALL THREE : (all head home).

Africans are they laziest set of people intellectually, they hardly make research, they just love to follow the crowd and all they're concerned about is how to make money with their empty heads and zero innovative skills . You wonder why ritual killings and religion thrives in Africa. We are the cum of this earth , removing Africa from the map of the world would be a very nice thing for the rest of the world .
Our youths would sell this country and it's citizens to vile beasts just for an iPhone and money to live large and show off on social media rather than sacrifice to build it. It all money, money, money and money. There is no true friendship anymore since if you have nothing, everyone(friends, girlfriend, relatives and family) deserts you, look down on you with insult and no longer have your time. It's all money, money, money, money. No one is your friend in this country, everyone after the cash and ready to use people to get it. What a poor way to live.

You're just a kid, I knew you were going to resort to insults, won't you go to sleep, you may wake up late tomorrow morning and your teacher may flog you.
Why so much hate? Save yourself the stress and just let her be. If she is not lucky, life will slap reality into her skull. No need stressing yourself except if you are indeed broke and she stroke a nerve?

It seems poverty is both mental and physical. Poor people with poverty mentality give birth to plenty children that they can't take care of, can't prioritise (it's always their feelings and vanity first before reasoning), spend money foolishly and on the wrong things.

Must you have a girlfriend? Must you marry and born? Why don't you be wise and respect yourself and cut your coat according to your size? Well, I don't really know him, perhaps he just made a huge amount of money and his house is still under construction.
