You sound so intelligent. But you seem to forget that countries like Nigeria with more churches per square meters than banking halls have not fallen their government one day. How about really Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia and Co? Communism has not been fair to China in any way possible in this modern age. Isn't it same China that bans Google, and the YouTube, is Twitter and the likes? Why restrict their people from absolute freedom? It's really a sign of rulership of weakness

Laughs.

So you think because you use Facebook and Google you are enjoying absolute freedom?

If you Check, China have equivalents of whatever you can mention, they are not like us who take pride in using other people's creation without being able to create for ourselves.

I guess that is to avoid indoctrinations and division along religious lines which is common in countries where Islam and Christianity hold sway, Nigeria is a case study.

The Child can later decide which religion to follow when old enough to make decisions for itself.

In the voice of..., "Nnamdi John cannot thank PMB for anything, fake news"

Happy Sallah, to all who celebrates and all invited guests of celebrants.

Laughs.

The church is stuck in the cycle of faith and belief because the door to experiencing the awareness of being is shut and forgotten.

The human brain (uber computer) comes preinstalled, like a custom made super computer, with all kinds of utility, connectivity, entertainment and productivity apps; and a googolplex number of contents, samples and templates.

If Whatsapp is the only software you know about and use on your super computer, as it meets all your needs and serves all your purposes in life, does not mean that someone else will not or is not using a Tor, 3/4/5D modeling, stock market, bitcoin mining, or NASA software on his/her super computer to meet and serve his/her needs and purposes in life.

How would you regard me if I say that "the only way" to read this article is if and only if you use the Netscape browser in your custom-made super computer, which must be, connected to the 9mobile network?

Remember, this super computer though having and running a googolplex number of processors fits perfectly in the minuscule size of your pineal gland, with enough room to work in, walk around or install more sets of googolplex super computers.

Now who would you say is making the best utilisation of his/her uber computer?

ifegadinma:
Can there ever be a "Good Trip" to Hell?

Yes, because you are Consciousness and create good and evil and everything in between for your "good pleasure".

If heaven is the highest conception of a good place to live and hell the worst, that makes earth a middle ground.

See yourself as a swinging pendulum, the highest point you can reach on the right hand (good) swing is heaven and the highest point you can reach on the left hand (evil) swing is hell, and earth is anywhere in between.

You are Consciousness and lives for eternity, you will certainly visit all those places, for you create them for your good pleasure.

People that saw and prophesy about hell only had a "bad trip."

johnw74:
ha ha, once again show me the spiritual enlightement you have posted
give a link to it

you sure are duh, the Bible was written by inspired men of God:

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

@underline, you are still copy catting, parroting what i said, but in lies

duh, you are not Jesus, He didn't wrongly use the scriptures as the pharisees and you do

What's your definition of "inspired men of God?"

Yes, "Jesus" didn't interpret the scriptures wrongly but differently from what the pharisees and sadducees were used to and comfortable with, which is exactly the same scenario here.

Asking for a link to my post on spiritual enlightenment, when you are already on it, is telling of how closed minded you have chosen to be.

DeeTus:
We are talking about international standard currency like pound, dollar, euro and so forth. Naira is of course not among.

Please try to learn. You ought to have paid for the lecture I'm giving you here.

Guy leave Martha for Mattias.

Who was talking about international standard currency?

This thread is talking about "koboless" as used in grammar in Nigeria.

I don't know why that is hard for you to understand.

You make it sound as though you are looking for where to vent pent up emotions.
Anyways, thanks for the lesson in patience.

DeeTus:
Penny is hard currency. If you have a lot of it can be changed to naira and is valuable.

Just illustrated an example here. But unfortunately, you couldn't understand that.

Your English is totally awful!

That makes the Kobo a soft currency and valueless that can't be converted to other currencies if you have a lot of it?

Your English is excellent.

Bentheta:
on the contrary koboless and bankruptcy can't be compared. cos you can have lots of money and still be declared bankrupt. That's so if your income CAN'T payoff your debt. so money can be coming in on regular basis but can't pay your "gbese" while koboless is a slang in Nigeria we when one has no money at that instant without reference to his/her gbese

Why should "koboless" be a slang, meaning "penniless" is equally a slang, since the Penny was officially replaced with the Kobo in Nigeria?

DeeTus:
LOL! The big question here is, have you personally used kobo to purchase any item in Nigeria lately?

Is this thread discussing the purchasing power of any currency?
If yes, do you use penny to purchase any item in Nigeria?

DeeTus:
Just say you are broke. Period!

Do you still use "Kobo" in Nigeria now? Obviously not!

It is like you are not a Nigerian.

I just confirmed from CBN website, The lowest unit of currency in Nigeria still remains the Kobo not the Penny.

DeeTus:
Hey "koboless" is not a good word. "Penniless" is a perfect word. Try to learn standard English, not Nigerian English.

I disagree, there are certain things in our culture we talk about, in the Nigerian context, that the English don't or won't have a word for, in such situations, should we use an English word or phrase that doesn't convey the sense of what is intended or shouldn't we create a word or phrase that serves the purpose?

After all, it is all about an acceptable way of communicating.

We don't use penny in Nigeria, anymore, so why should it reflect in my communications with a fellow Nigerian?

Koboless is very apt.

That's great.

The world of cars as we know it is passing away.

harrwix:
why place exorbitant charges on importation when you have done nothing practically to increase local production.....

it is obvious.....they don't care about the plight of the poor masses

From your point of view, what should be done by government to show care about the plight of the "poor masses?"

Local production of tomatoes will create first and foremost employment: for farmers and workers in the processing plants.

Based on the published, approximate active Internet users ranking:
Mtn: 54.5%
Airtel: 58.8%
9mobile: 64.2%
Glo: 72.9%

This can also give a clue to the quality of data services they provide.

johnw74:
please tell us a little of your spiritual enlightenment,
so far you have shown no spirituality, or enlightenment

how about showing us some of that vibrant spiritual enlightenment
and knowledge from your third eye
come on menxer, tell us things we don't know, tell us the things you see

The things of the spirit are discerned spiritually.
if having read my threads you discern no enlightenment, that only proves your lack of spiritual discernment.

johnw74:
glad to see that you menexer are not christian and don't believe the Bible and yet you use it, such are the blinded and hypocrites

The Bible was not written by "Christians," at least most of it.

And the Bible is just a piece of a giant puzzle.

Who can be more blinded and hypocritical than you, who denies the role of the pineal gland in spiritual enlightenment?

johnw74:
because you have nothing you continue to talk lies

the pharisees and other, knew the Bible about as well as you do
they even though that the spirit in Jesus was the spirit of satan

@bolded, And how is that different from what you are saying about me?

Be and/or Do unto yourself what you want others to be and/or do unto you.

If you want others to be honest with you, embody honesty at all times.

If you want others to respect you, embody respect at all times.

If you want others to hate you, embody hate at all times.

If you want others to fear you, embody fear at all times.

If you want others to praise you, embody praise-worthiness at all times.

If you want others to befriend you, embody friendliness at all times.

If you want others to be selfish with you, embody selfishness at all times.

If you want others to love you, embody love at all times.

If you want to be poor, embody poverty at all times.

If you want to be successful, embody success at all times.

If you want to be wealthy, embody wealth at all times.

Mujtahida:
Don't mind those opposing you. The truth is that all spiritual experiences so called are really brain works. Scientists have been able to induce spiritual experiences by activating certain parts of the brain.

And why do you bother with the Bible. It's a book full of light and darkness and much darkness. That's why Christianity lacks spiritual vibe

Glad you understand me.

richardbrandy:
majority of the pastorpreneurs around you has a well opened and functioning pineal gland wat they do you too can do just be open minded

That is the secret that has been hidden for ages but now is revealed. Though many are finding it difficult to accept or believe they have and the ability to commune with "God" independent of outside influence.

richardbrandy:
bro never conclude that what you have known all your life is the truth be open minded and willing to learn and i belive you have a brain to reason and think but be open minded

What is the definition of being brain washed?

johnw74:
try to follow what's going on here, for the third time, i don't care about your
pineal gland, third eye theory

when you wrongly use the Bible to support your un Bibical belief i will show you up
for as long as i'm watching this thread that is

That sounds like you have taken over the work of the pharisees and sadducees.

For your info, the world as you know it is passing away.

As for pineal gland, it won't bloom if you don't or won't do anything about it, though it is in you, your hope of glory.

Besides We, with the help of science, have identified that the physical door way to the kingdom of God within you, which Jesus spoke about, is the pineal gland, yet you are showing us that you are the incarnation of the sadducees?
It is a tedious job, but it must do done, thank you for fitting that mould and making yourself available.

johnw74:
no, but you are falsely accusing-lying more and more as time goes on
luke warmers or so called christians, soon show their colors

ha, a spirit-mind is either conscious or asleep

referring to those spirits-minds asleep in Christ;

1Th_4:13  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

No.

The problem is you are bent on defending the status quo of what you believe with no room for new knowledge of transformation.

Christ is the man whose pineal gland has attained full bloom.

Now that is a parable, "asleep" as in how?
is it asleep as in physical death, or asleep as in the calcified pineal gland?

johnw74:
stop with the bull if possible


the mind is the spirit, you didn't know that
it's what returns to God when our flesh bodies die

God's spirit-mind joins a Christians human spirit-mind
and resides with him

spirit-mind can also have a spirit body

just a little because you don't know, i would post scriptures
but i'm sure you can look them up yourself

That's what your pastor fed you.

Let me help you, God's spirit-mind and human spirit - mind, as you term, is Consciousness.

johnw74:
all of those ha ha's seem a bit hysterical

@bold, you accuse of things i never said,


just referring to Jesus alone:

Joh_21:25  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

If that is true why are you so opposed to the discovery of the pineal gland as a source of spiritual enlightenment?

johnw74:
@bold, what we have here is yet another copy cat
parroting back in lies to me, what i said in truth to you

your saying it twice in a very short post is telling, don't you think, sorry ha

Have you noticed you are tilting more towards trivialities.

There is no point exchanging insults, sit tight in your comfort zone but remember the parable of the prodigal with emphasis on the stay-at-home son.

Thanks for you time.

johnw74:
so you say the eye, vision, sight, is referring to a spiritual vision,
then you are referring to the mind and not a mystical third eye

a vision is something that one sees in the mind

So where or what is the mind? if I may ask.

Mystical according to Merriam-Webster, is:

1a : having a spiritual meaning or reality that is neither apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence the mystical food of the sacramentb : involving or having the nature of an individual's direct subjective communion with God or ultimate reality the mystical experience of the Inner Light.

@ bolded, I sincerely want to believe that is not your reason for being a Christian.

johnw74:
the Bible certinally is one of my comfort zones,
the holy spirit is another, i understand how the Bible is not a comfort zone of yours

haha, there is no better spiritual reality than God's word
most of what you say is just mere words from your own mind

And you are so certain about that?

Hahahahahahahahaha
HahaHahahahahahahaha

So in your mind, the whole of what God is is contained in the Bible?

Yes, you can sleep in you comfort zone, but others are awake to explore and experience the worlds.
I am one.

johnw74:
the only thing i am defending here is the Bible,
you said stop defending what you don't know

perhaps your words are sometimes confused, i can believe that

You are truly confused, sorry.

What I meant is, you don't know the parables of the Bible as it relates to the functioning of the pineal gland.

i can also believe that the Bible does not make plain sense to you

Check the meaning of parables.
It must be interpreted to get the meaning, else it is not a plain saying with plain sense.

You are truly confused, just stick to believing, it is better than trying to wrap your mind around certain truths, just to know.
