VAR messed up yesterday and I was thoroughly disappointed
Adrian Liverpool goalie's both feet were off the line as against the new rule and VAR "failed" to spot it

And the dive that had a penalty awarded was also conveniently ignored by VAR

How does this help Nigeria economy

In so many ways than 1. Show business is Nigeria's biggest export potential. If tapped well, we can earn over 4 times the pittance we get from Oil.

The best hack to protect yourself from these vultures still remains having multiple accounts (savings/savings or savings/current).

Make sure there is never any material amount of money in the account tied to your ATM/MasterCard/VisaCard/VerveCard.

Only move money from the other account when you want to do any transaction with the Card.

Never link your main account with the card under any circumstance.

IT IS FINISHED!

Please urgently remove the picture of his body! It is better to remember him as he was alive. Please use discretion in such matters.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ALCOHOLIC CONSUMPTION?



Rev Fr Justin Chinaka Mbaeri





Many religious people believe that God has forbidden any use of alcoholic beverages — that any use of alcohol is wrong and sinful. They claim that the Bible supports this prohibition, just like you claim too. Wine/alcoholic drinks are frequently mentioned in the Bible. If something sinful or beneficial exists about these beverages, then the Bible will show it. What does the Bible really say about wine and alcohol?



WINE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT



One of the first mentions of wine in Scripture is by Melchizedek, priest of the Most High God at Salem (Jerusalem) during the time of Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham. Melchizedek “brought forth bread and wine” for Abram and his companions (Genesis 14:18).



Since the scriptures was born out of the Jewish context, it is better we consider the “sitz im leben” (life setting or cultural context) of the words of the scriptures in relation to the Jewish culture in order to aid better understanding. In this vein, language comes into play.



From the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), the Hebrew word for wine in Genesis 14:18 is “yayin”. This word is used over 130 times in the Hebrew Bible to mean “FERMENTED WINE”, not grape juice as you may think. This same beverage (yayin or alcoholic wine), when used excessively, causes drunkenness. Genesis 9:21 says that Noah drank too much yayin and became drunk. Lot also became drunk on this beverage (Genesis 19:30-36), and so did Nabal (1 Samuel 25:36).



Nevertheless, God told his people to enjoy yayin at the yearly festivals (Deuteronomy 14:26). In addition to using wine as a beverage, God also commanded the Levitical priests to include in the sacrifices a portion of wine (yayin) as a drink offering (Exodus 29:40). These scriptural passages make it clear that there can be a right and a wrong use of wine.



Naturally fermented wine is between 10 percent and 14 percent alcohol. Higher alcoholic wines are fortified wines. On special occasions, God even allowed use of what is translated as “strong drink.” This term comes from a different Hebrew word — “shekar” — which is used 22 times in the Old Testament, and refers to alcoholic drinks made from dates and other fruit.



The Bible says that God gave wine to make men glad (Psalm 104:15). Why have some people turned this blessing of God into a curse? The answer is that many people do not follow God’s instructions. A blessing of wine was prophesied as a heritage to the chosen people in Genesis 27:28: “May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness — an abundance of grain and new wine (tirosh).”



The Hebrew word tirosh, meaning “new wine”. People sometimes conclude that this word means grape juice, or fresh-pressed juice of the vine. However, Hosea 4:11 states: “Old wine (yayin) and new wine (tirosh) take away their understanding.” Grape-juice do not possess this effect. Put differently, Tirosh is an intoxicating wine if used in excess.

Having journeyed through the Old Testament, let us take a look at the new Testament.



WINE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT



While the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the New Testament on the other hand was entirely written in Greek. Hence, we shall focus our mind on the Greek language in which the New testament was written. John the Baptist did not drink wine (oinos in the Greek) or any other form of alcohol because it was prophesied that he wouldn’t (Luke 1:15).



However, Jesus Christ drank oinos (wine) (cf. Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:34). Jesus did not preach against the use of wine; instead he drank like most other Jews of his day. He drank wine in moderation. In ancient times it was normally diluted with water for drinking, and was one of the principal beverages at that time — as it is today.



According to the Greek Bible, Jesus’ first miracle was to change water into wine (oinos) NOT grape juice. Some people who preach total abstinence claim that this miracle was to turn water into grape juice. LOL… This is because, they tend to interpret the Scriptures based on their “myopic understanding”. Can you imagine a Jewish wedding banquet where everyone drank only grape juice?! (which is very difficult to imagine). The ancients did not have refrigeration or any other method of preventing grape juice from fermenting.



On this occasion, Christ turned six jars of 20 or 30 gallons each into wine (oinos). This was no small miracle. This wine was of the finest quality — “You have saved the best wine till now” (John 2:10). At wedding feasts, the hosts normally started with the best wine, and they would bring out lesser-quality wines later.



Jesus gave a parable involving the fermenting process of oinos (alcoholic wine) in Matthew 9:17. At that time, instead of having metal or glass bottles to enclose wine, the skins of animals were used. The fermentation of the wine could burst an old skin, but it would not break a new stretchable skin.



Another proof that oinos is fermented wine is the fact that the apostle Paul said, “Do not get drunk on wine (oinos)” (Ephesians 5:18). Paul did not mean to avoid getting drunk on grape juice! Paul instructed Timothy, “Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine (oinos) because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses” (1 Timothy 5:23). He said to use only a little wine, not a whole lot. The purpose of this wine was Timothy’s frequent stomach ailments; small amounts of wine can help some stomach problems.



Some of the Corinthian Christians were getting drunk at the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:21). They were using fermented wine, following the example that Christ had set for them. Paul did not tell them that they were using the wrong kind of wine. He simply told them to eat and drink at home, and to participate in the Lord’s Supper in a respectful way.



In Romans 14:21, Paul says that it is good not to drink wine or eat meat if it offends a weak brother. He is referring to fermented wine; grape juice wouldn’t offend anyone. The implication is that there’s nothing wrong with the wine in itself, except when it is abused. Therefore, Scripture does not necessarily forbid a Christian from drinking beer, wine, or any other drink containing alcohol.



Alcohol, consumed in moderation, is neither harmful nor addictive. In fact, some doctors advocate drinking small amounts of red wine for its health benefits, especially for the heart. Consumption of alcohol in moderation is a matter of CHRISTIAN FREEDOM.



If you’re weak, then do not consider drinking it. Drunkenness and addiction are sinful; and this is exactly what the Bible condemns.

Above all, I am not proposing that alcohol must be consumed by all; if you maintain that intake of alcohol is bad for you, ok! That is simply your opinion; as pointed out, It is a matter of “Christian Freedom”, hence, do not look with disdain on someone who consumes alcohol in moderation or consider him/her a sinner.



Besides, not only excessive intake of alcohol is a sin, the bible also condemns gluttony (such as excessive intake of food etc.) Hence, if you consume an excessive amount of soft drinks or other foods, it is also a sin!



So, my dear friends in Christ, do not be scandalized when a fellow Christian, consumes alcoholic drinks.



Shalom!

It is now obvious mbaka is bigger than the whole Catholic church in Nigeria

He said all these things as a catholic priest and he wasn't deroped or made to apologize to obi

He says things without minding what his superiors would do

Every other Catholic priest gets transferred but mbaka has never been transferred. Maybe cos of the amount of money he rakes in for the Catholic church.

NOT TRUE. He was transferred by his Bishop following the 2015 election meddling controversy.

Russia is the current top producer of wheat in the world, NOT China.

I'm still looking for the Nigeria man in that picture :-

Billionaire with a cheap shoe

That's how they got rich in the first instance.

Poor people struggle so hard to impress the Jonses!

Wealthy people do not swallow their profits, but reinvest it all.

Your sensational topic is misleading.

Apple cannot be accused of stealing what was readily shared with them by Qualcomm.

The law suit is on the premise that Apple shared Qualcomm's intellectual property with Intel, NOT that they stole.

Please conduct more research before you rush in looking for likes and clicks.

This advice here is worth way more than its weight in Gold.

I will like to share my experience in economic recession with you all.
In 2008,i invested part of my first salary(110000) in ecobank transnational incorporation Public offer in $. Then it was N50, 000 at N111. 00/$ totalling $450 and got 1500 units of the moribund Eti shares.
I equally invested my 2nd month salary of N50, 000 naira in the shares of the defunct intercontinental bank that was politically and religiously ruined by the greediness of Erasmus akingbola, i equally opened a Dom account, Coz I had a dream of working abroad. Thereafter, I saved 50,000@$ monthly I. e Average of 400$ monthly in my Dom account.
Fast and forward the American recession came ad a result of easy credit facility n access granted to the American.
The 1st financial calamity by 2012/13was the so called ETI the stock was no longer being traded at $ price.
The 2nd was the demise of international Bank after the take over by political back up access bank, the 7500 units was valued at 250 units I. e 30 to 1
My Savings grace was the $ savings I built up in my first Dom account at m$ at ximum value of 138\$ and was able to build up 20,000 before I left for UK in 2012
Now,the worth of intercontinental bank N50,000 is less than N2000, at today value of access bank of 250 units while the N50, 000 of ETI worth less than 25,000 today.
The moral of the story., my $ investment which I invested less than N2. 7M now worth over N7M.
I am not taking the warning on the next depression lightly, no one knows what will happen to the naira +or- bubu, cos for any human being to grow Nigeria economy, the naira must be devalued or floated, any attempt to practice the present Buharinomics economy might not be good for Nigeria economy. Pls n pls convert your gains n profits into $\€/£ before the expected recession happens.
Message, i am trying to pass to you is that we should all embrace investment diversity.

Most milk brands in the market now spend so much money advertising "Filled Milk".

There is no mention on the packaging that it contains ONLY vegetable fat; and NO DAIRY FAT.

Deception at best.

Please continue to buy only "FULL CREAM MILK".

By the time nobody buys "Filled Milk", they will flush them all down the toilet.

Since Steve Jobs died, Apple has unveiled the following new product categories:

Apple Watch (Best selling Watch in the world - not just for smartphones categories, and highest grossing too)
Airpods
HomePod

Add those to new silicon (A5x - A12 Bionic), Neural Engine and Watch SOC (S1-s4); Apple is the new Intel(R) of Smartphones. Their lead is unassailable.

Steve sure is not replaceable, but please state facts only please.

With his absence, Apple have
just been going round in circles.

Nothing new,
Nothing creative.

Fake news spotted. It is a well known technical fact that iphoneX is IP67 Water-Resistant .

Thank you for sharing. I have always believed that to understand the character/behaviour of people, it is best If you know their story. A lot of the scars of abuse manifest in the behaviour of the victims.

A Lot of men/boys who are gay today are like that because they were molested when young by evil people.

daveP:
What else would inspire a group of women, married and unmarried to just sight a boy of less than 10yrs old and then take turns with much joy at him and sexually abused him if not demons inside of them? Serious demonic possession!!!


The feminists are absent as well. There's a blank part of the psyche they have, that these kinds of revelation needs to full up, but they block it out and refuse to address it cos it doesn't appeal to the parasympathetic part of their brains, which would defy the pure impure logic that only ladies are suffering unimaginable things. I'm disappointed at y'all. Y'all are a bunch of hypocrites!!! Identity Unveiled!!!!


Funny enough, this very issue was raised two years ago on Nairaland, and one popular nairalander that i had respect for then opined that if a guy cums when raped by a lady, then it's no longer rape. All the respect I had for him from my guestmode era to my being a member of 6yrs went down the drain. Men also are part of the problem/reason why men that experience this don't come out. Men will vilify and mock and insult such men as weaklings, vegetables, etc cos they are "supposed to man up" and brush such off and "enjoy" life. Now that's the first issue.


In Ibadan almost a decade ago, a young boy in ss3 that was always acting like a girl opened up to me(A Levels) cos he saw I was "the only reasonable person around"


He was molested by an aunt that later won a beauty pageant in Abj. I was observant to notice he was all defensive and locked up when around girls, Pretty girls that likes him flocked to him, but he hated them with cruel hatred. If only a girl and him are about to be left in a class that seats 70 students, he gets all red alert and leaves. This was before he confessed. And ladies like boys that are handsome, but W doesn't give an eff. He was ready to stay single till he does, but I had to encourage him that it's not a good choice.


Everyday he got bullied by his fellow guys cos he was always looking and acting girly or not doing stuff guys were supposed to do. Yet when it's time for Physics and Further maths, they'll all flock round him to teach them.


What a world!!


All these Anties that would just be acting strange with their nephews and young boys.


It respects no age or class or women. Alhaja o, pastor Mrs o, principal o, headmistress o, teacher o, banker, etc all do such evil to young boys, but society expects these guys to man up. But we don't hear the word "woman up" anywhere.

Judgement Day will really be a very scary event.

Finance 101 - NEVER co-sign a loan for ANYBODY.

Even the scriptures say as much: Proverbs 6:1-5


My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, have given a pledge for a stranger
If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, have been caught with the words of your mouth
Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor; go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.
Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Alcohol is a NATURAL derivative of fermented carbohydrate, just like yogurt from fermented milk.

There is NOTHING WRONG with alcohol consumption for humans.

Moderation is the watch word.

That is why words like "gluttony" exist.

In some people, "Auto-brewery syndrome", also known as "gut fermentation syndrome", occurs where their stomach produces alcohol naturally from the food that they have ingested.

You should not be under any illusion that there was a marriage. THERE WAS NO MARRIAGE.

Of all the sacraments of the church, its only the sacrament of marriage that is not conferred by a priest, but it is conferred on each other by the couple.

If there is any form of deception that is material before a marriage AND this is hidden from a party of the marriage, that in itself renders the marriage NULL AND VOID.

If any of the parties is forced into the Union (absence of free will); this also renders the marriage NULL AND VOID.

My friend, walk away, nothing is tying you to the marriage, NOT IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH. They are destiny killers.

I will be more impressed with the Electric version. ICE's are going the way of the dinosaur.
