The existence of the nation of Israel in itself is a proof on earth of God, of Jesus and of the fulfilment of Bible prophesies. |
Mattswaggz:There's a Great Day coming. Are you ready for the judgment day? Or will you live forever? |
geoworldedu:I know of the calendar differences, and the non of those other calendars overrides Jesus' own. Christ's is the dominant, and you can't do nothing about it. Jesus is Lord! |
geoworldedu:Excuse me please, what year are we in? AD2026 right? Use your head. Thanks. AD stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for in the year of the Lord. It's a way of counting years based on the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. BC stands for Before Christ, and it's a way of counting years before the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. AD starts with year 1 and continues to the present day. And you're literally living in the year of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega. Bow the knee! |
Africa wake up! So it will not be our turn tomorrow |
Pakistan will win. I pray for Pakistan everyday, because they've opened their heart to Christ. |
Mccullum:Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He's the Prophet Moses talked about |
Whether you believe it or yes, one day, your knees will bow and your tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord. |
It is not the will of God that any one perish(2 Peter 3:9), you and I included. So, come boldly to Him now “... come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”(Hebrews 4:16). He has promised He will not cast you out. “ All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”(John 6:37). Jesus the Son of God has all the power to save you(Matthew 28:18). Power to save you from sin, sickness, Satan, and from all evil. “... According to your faith be it unto you. ”(Matthew 9:29). Amen❤.

“ Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”(1 Corinthians 6:15-20). Amen.

The Curse of Insight: Why Genius Has Always Been Misunderstood Throughout the tapestry of human history, we have revered the products of genius—the art, the science, the technological leaps—while simultaneously casting a wary, often hostile, eye upon the geniuses themselves. From the philosophers of ancient Greece to the gifted child in a modern classroom, individuals with exceptionally high intelligence have consistently occupied a paradoxical space: celebrated in theory, yet stigmatized in practice. This is not a relic of a superstitious past, but a persistent pattern woven into the fabric of human interaction. Perhaps by examining this long and uncomfortable history, we can learn to recognize the pattern in ourselves and, finally, break it. In the ancient world, the line between genius and madness was perilously thin. The Greeks, who gave us the word enthousiasmos (divine inspiration), often viewed those of exceptional insight with deep suspicion. The philosopher Socrates was not celebrated for his probing questions; he was tried and executed for “corrupting the youth” and impiety. His relentless logic was seen not as a gift, but as a dangerous disruption to the social and religious order. This set a troubling precedent: to think differently was to be a threat. This dynamic is captured in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The one prisoner who is freed, who sees the sun (knowledge) and understands the true nature of reality, is met not with gratitude when he returns to the cave, but with ridicule and hostility. His fellow prisoners see him as a fool whose journey has ruined his eyesight. The allegory is a perfect metaphor for the fate of the high-IQ individual throughout history: they see a world of patterns, connections, and possibilities invisible to others, and their attempts to describe it are often met with fear, mockery, or outright aggression. The Renaissance, for all its celebration of human potential, was no safe haven. Galileo Galilei, whose observations of the heavens confirmed a heliocentric solar system, was not honored by the Church for his discovery. He was branded a heretic, forced to recant his scientific truths, and spent the final years of his life under house arrest. His intellect directly challenged a deeply held, comfortable worldview, and the establishment’s response was to silence and stigmatize him. He was not a hero in his own time; he was a threat. This historical pattern is rooted in a fundamental human psychology. We are social creatures, hardwired for belonging. Our tribes, whether familial, cultural, or intellectual, are built on shared norms, beliefs, and modes of communication. The exceptionally intelligent individual often operates outside these norms. Their thinking can be non-linear, their interests arcane, and their conversation peppered with references and concepts unfamiliar to the majority. This difference is easily misinterpreted: · As Arrogance: When a high-IQ person struggles to explain a concept they find obvious, it can be perceived as condescension. The gap in comprehension creates a frustrating asymmetry that is often blamed on the communicator, not the complexity of the idea. · As Eccentricity or Madness: Intense focus on abstract problems, a trait common among the highly gifted, can be socially isolating. Behaviors that are merely different are often pathologized, fitting the convenient and ancient narrative of the "mad genius." · As a Threat: As with Socrates and Galileo, a mind that can deconstruct flawed logic, predict systemic failures, or imagine radical new possibilities is inherently destabilizing to the status quo. Those who benefit from the current system—or are simply comfortable within it—have a strong incentive to discredit the thinker rather than engage with the thought. The stigmatization is not merely a matter of historical anecdote; it is a lived reality with tangible consequences. In modern educational systems, "gifted" students are often pulled from classes, which can lead to resentment from peers and a feeling of alienation for the child. They are labelled "nerds," "geeks," or "know-it-alls," social punishments for the crime of intellectual ability. In the workplace, a brilliant employee who constantly questions flawed processes can be branded "not a team player" or "difficult," their valuable insights lost to the comfort of corporate inertia. The tragedy of this perennial misunderstanding is a double loss. First, we lose the individual. The high-IQ person, constantly signaling to fit in, may suppress their own abilities, leading to underachievement, anxiety, and depression—a phenomenon known as the "imposter syndrome" turned inside out. They are forced to dim their own light to avoid casting an uncomfortable shadow. Second, and more critically, we lose their contribution. For every celebrated Einstein, there are countless brilliant minds whose potential was squelched by a world that demanded conformity. The solutions to our most complex problems—climate change, political polarization, resource scarcity—will not be found by thinking in the same old grooves. They will require the kind of radical, pattern-seeking, paradigm-shifting insight that is the hallmark of high intelligence. To learn from this history is to practice a new kind of humility. It is to recognize that when we encounter someone whose ideas seem strange, whose conversation is difficult to follow, or whose questions make us uncomfortable, we might be standing at the mouth of Plato’s cave. The appropriate response is not to reach for a rock, but to listen more carefully. It is to understand that the curse of insight is often loneliness, and the greatest gift we can offer the misunderstood genius of today is not a statue after they are gone, but a willingness to understand them while they are here. |
“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”(Hebrews 12:18-24). Amen.❤🙏

SkyBizzy:How is Kaduna? I was born there, but I live in the east now |
SkyBizzy:I pray it will be well now. Where there's life, there's hope. Opportunity comes only to the living. |
“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. — Mark 9:42-48 Amen.

“...Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you...”(MATTHEW 20:25,26).

Oizee:do you want to marry me, mr macaroni🤣 |
Benwallt:Education is very important. If I hadn't been educated, gaining emotional intelligence, etc, I could've done exactly what this boy did. Thank God I'm educated. Education is the way! |
If only all levels of education was free in this country. This boy was not carved for that type of life; he should have been studying in some university. May God provide for every kid who loves education but can't afford it. Also, parents, if you know that you can't take care of children till they can stand as adults, then don't make babies. Thanks. |

This is the word of God; and I believe the word of God: “ But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things....These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”(1John 2:20,26,27). Amen.

The world lieth in wickedness. May she find Christ. |
pkasso:I'm GenZ, and I was born during Abacha's regime. |
There's no such thing as Truth outside Christ; that which some people call ‘truth’ are full of fallacies and biases. |

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”(Hebrews 12:18-24).
