4everGod:
Well said. However the sinful nature created a vacuum and a need in us for answers even when we feel we do not need them. The feeling of completeness is gone and many now embarks on a self search for a meaning to life and what makes him complete and this search stops at the feet of Jesus.

Adam had it all so did not need to search for answers as all he needed was to fellowship. The sinful nature ends once we come to the place of fellowship in Christ. We then receive an ability to resist and live above Sin and the world unlike when we could not tell the difference. So every one born into this world is now born with a need to be complete and to seek it which is where we come in as believers as we preach the gospel to them. Its a prefect arrangement!

Meaning the human being God created and the ones alive today are not the same?

When, who or what introduced emptiness or incompleteness into the perfect creation of God that up till now he can't correct, warranting man to seek completeness at the feet of Jesus?

Your argument admits that God makes mistake (incompleteness) or is incapable of correcting a mistake, assuming someone else "introduced" a mistake into his divine equation.

CHRISTIAN: Christian view is of our perception of self is based on the Biblical principle that God made us exactly as He intended, but inherent in our humanness is a sinful nature. Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross so that our sins would be forgiven. If we accept Him as our Savior and Lord, we shed our sinful self and become a renewed being...a Christian.

Does it make sense that God created us exactly as he intended but inherent in our humanness is a sinful nature?

That being the case our efforts at overcoming sin, through Jesus or not, is against the intended purpose of God for creating us.

Fruit bearing is a naturally normal thing to any fruit bearing tree.

A mango tree does not fast and pray to bear fruit, it does so in due season. Why does a man need to fast and pray to bear fruit?

If man is a spiritual being, bearing spiritual fruits should be a normal part of his spiritual life.

See this one, if you trust Yahweh that much why are you obsessed with MMM closing?
Meanwhile MMM is a window opened by Yahweh to some people.

Umana, governors and governors to be are great liars, umana must have been shocked stiffed for judge okoro to refuse to play the bribery game. Pastor, this is acid test for you, so lets see if you can afford to dent your image, thats if you have intergrity as a pastor. Please don't cover umana and destroy the respect you worked hard to earn over the years.

Hahahahaha

Let's prepare our minds for the shocker the Pastor will deliver.

Is it a surprise Nwoko, the attorney general of Akwa ibom state, was sacked by PDP controlled state government barely days after he castigated PMB over the arrest of the justices on live broadcast?

OK, accepted they "tried" to bribe him, who are those that actually bribed him?

As a judge he knows the law; and it's a known fact that Senator Akpabio as Governor influenced his (Okoro's) rise to the Supreme Court, if Umanah had "tried" to bribe him wouldn't it had made front pages and be used to rubbish him (Umanah) when the case was on?

Why are we feigning ignorant amnesia?

It's possible to love two people at the same time but not equally, because they can't have the same character traits and all that.

Even God does not love equally, case in point: Esau & Jacob, Cain & Abel, Israel & Gentile

It's clear from this where the problem lies.
That last paragraph though.

OP, Why are you calling us to the reasoning table knowing fully well "ignorance is bliss"?

The Bible was not meant to be interpreted the way we do, I got that understanding after reading the Zohar.

There are other ancient literature that explains creation story in more details than the Bible; the Earth chronicles, the lost book of Enki, is a good place to start.

Nigerians, always hiding under the cloak of negative supernatural so as not to look at issues and think through logically.

It beats my mind that evil is more powerful than the God /Allah we all claim to worship, to thwart our national efforts to progress.

How many times had men of God not gathered in Aso Villa, yet couldn't dispel the veil of evil?

The only evil is lack of sincerity of purpose in our dealings with ourselves.

Well this is the first time I have heard someone changing surname to her maternal surname. It makes no sense.

To me it's just coincidence that the surnames rhymes.

Hahahahahahahaha
No, it is the hotel owner, for providing a conducive environment for both of you. Else one would have made use of a school field and the other the school farm.

Smell of vagina?
aaaaaaah, what a turn on!

Thou shalt not reason, thus says the...

(1) It may be true, God created Man on the sixth day. Lets not forget a thousand years is a day before God, so it took 6000 years to create man.

6000 years? Yes.
If you are building a house, painting is the last thing done but it was in the plan from start.

(6) artificial insemination is still a possibility. Come to think of it, we have hens that lay eggs by feeding them a certain Kind of food with no contact with a Cockerel.

It is good you know we are Nigerians and we like and prefer any thing imported.

But Europeans can be funny, if invited to a lunch or dinner, do one need to come prepared to take or compare notes?

It is break/lunch time give yourself a break.

Wealthy in what sense?
Poor in what sense?

He may be wealthy in material things but poor in spiritual things or vice versa.

It depends on what you want, do you want Spiritual things or material things?

How come Moses that wrote many books was not adjudged a wise man?

Maybe it was a nickname.

Waiting for the "contrarians"

The Presidential bedroom aka inner cabinet.

Lo and behold, it is no longer news that whatsapp is no more supported (time up already?) on some devices including BlackBerry, it's time to upgrade to a new supported device

SIM= subscriber identification module

I now understand why, when it was reported that Aisha was not to grant interviews.

No matter the valid points she raised, she has proofed her "loyalty", the issue of 2019 shouldn't have been raised, because that sounds like blackmail.

PMB missed out "cabinet" in his kitchen statement, which makes it a gaffe.
At least all past Presidents had a "kitchen cabinet"

They both let us down by those comments of theirs.

.... That is a man's hand writing. Why do I think that?

We say China is big on copying and imitating, yet our own imitation refineries are being destroyed. How are we to progress this way?

The suggestion is very apt, FG should regulate and not destroy the imitation refineries.

Some thing must kill a man.

If love is blind and God is love
Is it safe to say God is blind?

If love is a feeling we create and God is love
Is it safe to say God is a creation of our feelings?

Hhhhhmmmmm

How so ironic.

I guess taking care of the poor doesn't apply to pastors, else if they are truly committed to doing that, they wouldn't have enough left overs to buy private jets.

Or is it because of the poor they are taking care of that accounts for the luxurious life they (pastors) live?

And don't tell me you take care of the poor by just preaching to them.

Nonsense,
when there are drugs to treat, prevent and even cure that.

“Mr. President, my respected colleagues, how does bribery and corruption become an issue of internal security? How does bribing judges or official misconduct in their official capacity become a threat to internal security?

The words of a Senator?
Smh

Sibrah:
What's embarrasing there. The Debt in question is much and hard to put a specific value on its outstanding amount.

Check the moniker and the source.
