AntiChristian: Let's say their subscription to the Holy spirit is limited! Different packages exist when it comes to subscription to the holy spirit. Like i said earlier somewhere, put 20 Prophets with the full holy spirit subscription in separate rooms and collate their prophecies. Therein the scam is found!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hogD72qmG0k According to this cleric, Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia, saw people praying and didn't like it. That is why he released the virus called Coronavirus. I guess AntiChristian or Empiree don't know about what this blind leading blind told his audience/listeners in Northern Nigeria.
Moral of the scoop, when living in a glass house, dont throw stones, lol.
MuttleyLaff: "And your prophets cover up for them by announcing false visions and making lying predictions. They say, ‘My message is from the Sovereign LORD,’ when the LORD hasn’t spoken a single word to them." - Ezekiel 22:28
"These foolish prophets see false visions, and their predictions don't come true. They say, "The LORD said this." But the LORD hasn't sent them. Then they hope that their message will come true" - Ezekiel 13:6
"Thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!" - Ezekiel 13:3
frosbel2: The god of your European idol mythical Jesus? The god that your ancestors did not know? The god of your slave masters and those who oppressed your people in times gone by?
Nope, none of any of these, none in the list, not among what you've have here mentioned. Sorry.
frosbel2: I know my God and it is probable that he is not the god you know, lol.
You got that 10000% absolutely right, he is not the god I know, lol. I dont know this your God pretender god, so I've set out to find out from you, with questions, more about your god and what you really do know about this your god, you claim you know and/or have knowledge of, lol.
1/ What's his name? 2/ What does he look like? 3/ What 3-6 good things is he famous and/or positively known for? 4/ Is there anything impossible for him to do? Yes or No? 5/ If Yes to #4 above then, what is the thing(s) impossible for him to do and why is it impossible for him to do? 6/ If No to #4 above then, what is the impossible thing(s) he was able to do or achieve and how did he do or achieve the seemingly impossible thing(s), lol? 7/ If you know your god as much as you claim you do, lol. What does and/or has your god told you about sin? 8/ Coming from insights given you by your god, where did sin come from and how did sin come about? 9/ Why was and/or is sin permitted to run?. Why was sin allowed to run amok, lol? 10/ To what end, does your god, tell you frosbel2, is all this subjection, to the spell of sin, lol?
Of course, I have other 99 questions more and still counting to ask and grill you with, but I know, you're already sweating under the collar, from just mere looking at nothing more than 10 innocent questions. Reading them, no doubt, right now is making you queasy, dizzy and uncomfortable, lol. Nothing to fear about, this is an opportunity for you to shine. I am providing you with a platform to sell your god, show the watching and reading world who your god is, his capabilities, the method in the seemingly madness of it all, lol
Mark my words, you are going to unashamefully avoid committing yourself to answering any of the above easy, simple, straightforward and direct questions. You'll do a very deliberate shameful best of refusing and/or delaying giving honest, sincere and truthful answers to any of those 10 harmless questions asked you.
Dantedasz: @LordReed, Do you see what I mean when I say conversating with a religionist is like slamming your head against a concrete slab. They will turn logic upside down, drag you to their level and then beat you up with their experience. I am done here. Going back to sit down look.
Who you labelling a religionist, huh, mister skeptic? Smh.
You are so bang on the money so very predictable lol. I told myself, saying, watch this, before this paint on the wall dries, Dantedasz is going to scurryingly dart back into the dark and abominable sewer he crawled out from.
You didn't fail in not doing just exactly that. Hope sha, you didn't bang your empty head against the walls and door, while on your exiting way out, lol.
[img]https://s5/images/tenor0b4752fb68e75f6e.gif[/img] Hmm. You my customer mi daada ni, hiatus regular customer, fairweather long lost customer mi, still dont get it. You dont get it that it is religion that is not pure, that isnt true, that isnt one that God finds no fault in, that is a scam, lol
Dantedasz: It is just an agenda to control your mind and instill fear of being burnt in an everlasting incinerator machine.
[img]https://s3/images/MuttleyManicalHilarious.gif[/img] Who controlled your mind to be compassionate to your fellow human being, to a vulnerable or helpless animal, to the environment etcetera, hmm? You're hilarious, you surely have no idea
Dantedasz: The pastors and leaders of religion don't really believe in all the bullsh1t they spew every day but as long as their mindless followers gobble it up they are okay because it means more money in their pocket.
Dantedasz: A manual that contains talking snakes and talking donkeys.
[img]https://s1/images/stirringMuttleylaff.gif[/img] Why not at least get your facts right nah. One talking serpent and one, never to be repeated again, one-off talking donkey. Are you done?
Dantedasz: A manual that contains a virgin being impregnated by a holy spirit.
Dantedasz: None of it makes sense yet people live their lives to conform to this manual. In any other situation the manual word be regarded as a fairy tale book.
[img]https://s5/images/giphy5e6f1b81ace033ab.gif[/img] It is possible to make sense out of no sense and/or nonsense, lol. What is regarded as a fairy tale book to some, is a Holy Grail book for other some, lol
Dantedasz: The coroner virus has exposed all these miracle selling spellbinding pastors and religious leaders as peddlers of false hood, because this is a test to prove that they can perform miracles by curing the thousands of people suffering from the virus but no they can't cure anything and rather have chosen to preach self isolation. T.B Joshua has a channel on DSTV where he performs all kinds of stage managed miracles but the true test is here. Cure any of the numerous people suffering from Corona virus disease then people like me will start to believe.
[img]https://s4/images/MuttleyInfoConfusedOverload.gif[/img] Dont be confused. Coronavirus (i.e. COVID-19) is not the first, nor is it going to be last virus. Prior to COVID-19, we've had the Spanish flu, the Russian flu etcetera with higher mortality rate than what COVID-19 currently has inflicted and we survived it. We will survive COVID-19 too, already vaccines, which I wouldnt personally recommend any smart person take, are coming up. Today the POTUS announced that chloroquinne, an anti-malaria drugs, apparently cures COVID-19
You're missing the lesson to learn and bigger picture of COVID-19, which is the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, lol. There really isnt anything sacrosanct in the cathedrals, in the megabowl church physical buildings, the amphitheatres, the etcetera lol.
Maximus69: Regards to everyone here FOLYKAZE, triplechoice, LordReed, MuttleyLaff, and every other follower of the thread.
Thanks for the lies, chat, fun, jokes, insults, abuses, curses and everything that made the thread interesting to underG observers.
Without any of these threads won't be interesting in any way, that's check and balances!
But most importantly my brother Tatime, thank you and every other JWs out there for the spiritual insight and support to hold fast onto the truth!
Farewell!
Farewell brother neighbour. You were a good sport, you took every heavy and deadly blows landing right on the chin and still stood standing, lol.
Bossman Sgt Major TATIME, no doubt, secretly and openly sure would be proud of you. Dont you worry about that, however, if I were you though I'll be more worried about how to break free and escape from the shackle hold, lol, because aside TATIME, another person diabolically was proud of you too, lol. Remember in the back of your mind that TATIME loves listening to Abami ẹda, RIP, Fẹla's Zombie tune, lol.
triplechoice: An adult should take responsibility for his actions. You not willing to do this. I wonder how any sensible young man can look up to you when you continue to behave the way you have behaving on this thread.
Tatime seem to be your protege and your influence on him is very obvious
Other way round. TATIME nah big man for JW ooo, lol.
TATIME is Maximus69 bossman, when TATIME tells Maximus69 to bark, Maximum69 goes woof-woof. When TATIME tells Maximum69 to jump, Maximum69 asks how high, lol.
No no, no. No. TATIME is no protégé to Maximum69, but rather Maximum69 is TATIME's protégé. Maximum69 submits to, seek approval(s) and/or favor(s) from TATIME.
Maximus69: I don't know why you're so upset over this issue. I've dealt with the person i wanted to deal with, now it's over.
Please it's OK let the OP and every other follower continue with OP's mission the historicity and justification thing, after all it wasn't about Maximus or JWs in the first place.
Why is everyone (Churchgoer, Atheist, Babalawo and perhaps freethinker) so worried about Maximus when i'm not the topic of the thread?
[img]https://s1/images/MuttAmin.gif[/img] He doesn't miss a trick, does he. Smh Kolewerk. White flag or olive branch things, lol Everyone is so worried about Maximus69 because your sins and lies have found you out. You're a liar unashamed even after being caught red-handedly lying
triplechoice: He does not know anything about Google translate and yet he claims to be a former military intelligence officer
My brother, abeggy leave the intelligence mata for LAWMA nah. This guy cant even manage to tie up his shoe laces and/or wipe his bum, all by himself, without help coming from his good ol' bossman TATIME, gallantly always running down for the rescue, lol
Nobi una dem kind sabi like to shoot "innocent, defensely and minding their own business law abiding pipul" ni. He's just showed what a shady and unintelligent person he is by just there, going and gunning for your sister nah.
Maximus69: So far your JW sister is not a clown it's OK. We all have different gifts!
MuttleyLaff: Some JW Naijas are smart nah. There are some of JW with real intelligence, who know how to hide food for mouth and thereafter pretend they arent eating nor have nothing like food in their mouth, lol.
Its just like Yoruba muslims, not being into that Boko Haram (i.e. Western education is bad, not good for you) nonsense. Yoruba muslims are socially liberal, socially accomodating, socially embracing, socially etcetera more than their Northern counterparts. Of course, the unzombie-fied JW clever ones with real intelligence will cherry pick, keep it on the low and flout the higher education ban/restriction. You do know LordReed that, they get penalised if found out they aspired and went for higher education beyond secondary school level education. Hmm?
These two guys TATIME and Maximus69 are cut from the same cloth. "Bi enia dara, ti koni iwa, o padanu ohun ribiribi ni, nitoripe, iwa rere, lẹsọ enia" loosely translated means "If a person seems OK and fine but doesn’t have character, such person is missing something very valuable indeed because good character, is a person's soldier/bodyguard" These two guys lack good character, integrity, honour, sincerety and truthfulness. When they say goodnight, dont take their word for it, go to the window, pull the curtain/blind aside to check outside thats its really night time. I wont trust either of them as far as I can throw them.
Look at both of them patting each others' back over an empty and/or hollow victory, that is, forcibly and falsely tagging an Edo man to be Yoruba. Smh.
LordReed: Funny enough I knew at least 1 JW in University back in the day. I wonder how he escaped that particular stricture.
Some JW Naijas are smart nah. There are some of JW with real intelligence, who know how to hide food for mouth and thereafter pretend they arent eating nor have nothing like food in their mouth, lol.

Maximus69: I thought you often say you believe in evidence!
There is no evidence of your search engine in the translation of OMOLÚWÀBÍ and the story that leads to the adage in all of these my guy so stop deceiving your own soul!
If you really had any iota of intelligence through you, you would have found out that the first Google search will bring up a Wikipedia page as a first choice result, which is from where LordReed copied all that he posted here about "omoluabi".
Smh. Continue smirking in blissful ignorance. You think you're doing me, not knowing you're doing yourself, lol. That JW frown and/or embargo on furthering education beyound secondary level surely isnt imho a good and/or wise idea. Chai, you guys have been scammed, lol. No wonder dumbness prevails
TATIME: I use to think that Maximus was bragging whenever he's talking about intelligence, but now i'm giving my brother a kudos for proving himself! Maximus actually said an intelligent person will never tell you that you're lying but with thought provoking questions you'll loose your balance before everyone and you'll not know when or where the lies are protruding from! Maximus69 always say "Frustration comes when you're battling to refute what is obvious or when you're struggling to establish what is not true". He said you (LordReed) is a Yoruba man, you denied and Maximus never said you lied instead he kept discussing with you until you forgetfully typed in Yoruba, he reminded you and you said it's Google magic still Maximus never said you lied, now after some time you forgetfully typed another phrase in Yoruba, and again this wizard called Maximus never said you lied but tactfully asked you a question about what you typed whether it's another Google magic as usual. Then you began saying "dumb him, dumb her"! Please Professor give my brother Maximus a standing ovation in honour of a higher intellect, he just proved his worth to you. I hope you still remember what Yorubas do call the child who disown his heritage? Well judge that for yourself or ask Google as usual to tell you what Yorubas do call a fugitive who shamelessly disown his heritage publicly!
TATIME, you and Maximus69 suit each other. You, good at barking jump orders and him, good at asking how high, when to à la zombie, start and stop jumping through hoops, lol.
Maximus69, is that so dishonest and untrustworthy that after him saying good morning and shaking my hand, I'll have to count all my fingers at end of it, to make sure they all are still intact there, lol.
What is wrong is telling your lackey off that he was wrong in advancing that his grandma's child given version tale of what "omoluabi" means erhn? Smh.
Now talking of LordReed's heritage, that was how this same Maximus69 was ascribing a female status to a certain Lawani, who is male and even pasted on his Profile Page his passport showing every details picture, sex and all about you, but oh no, Mr Maximus69 till tomorrow still insists Lawani is female.
Anyone long enough on Nairaland and with an iota of intelligence knows this much about LordReed that he is not Yoruba, but is Edo, somewhat like cousin to Yoruba, lol. C'mon now. What's the matter with you two guys playing clowns. This isn't funny anymore ojaare.
FOLYKAZE: Sigidi se'tan ati te, oni kiwon gbe oun re odo lo re we. Muttleylaff, we would need your service in translating those words for Max. At a time like this, when revisionists take it upon themselves to rewrite history and distort facts, the rightful son of the soil must be there to iron out the facts, and separate truth from lies.
Maximus69 churned out wrong translation of the word Omoluwabi to Omo ti Luwa bi. The wrong translation, either it is what he cooked up or truly heard from his Granny, has not only misled him but left him more confounded, whereby he carved out from his imagination a person called Luwa who lived in the distance past among the Yoruba people.
It is important for people to know that there is no one either in the past or present that bears the name Luwa. That is only the figment of Imagination of Mr Max. Secondly, that Yoruba language personifies almost every thing, 'omo' in Omoluwabi doesn't mean Luwa is a person.
The rightful translation of the word 'Omoluwabi' is rightly provided by Lordreed as "the baby begotten by the chief of iwa". With the rightful translation, one can then identify who and what is Iwa and the chief of Iwa.
Iwa is character, and according to Ifa, Iwa is a young beautiful lady, daughter of Suuru (Patience), granddaughter of Eledumare. The general understanding of the Yoruba people is Suuru ni baba Iwa (Patience is the father of character). Iwa is married to Orunmila, the divinity of wisdom. And according to tradition, the husband, oko olowo ori iyawo, is the olu/olori or lord of the wife. In view of this, Orunmila (wisdom) is the Lord/chief of Iwa (character). Omoluwabi simply mean a person who embodies wisdom, the chief of character.
According to Ifa, Orunmila separated from Iwa. And Iwa returned to Eledumare in Orun. After she left, life became unbearable and chaotic to Orunmila.
bi Iwa ba nu eeyan eyin o mo pe ayee re lo nu un
since Iwa left Orunmila and life became unbearable for him, he sort to get his wife back, and he found her in Eledumare house. Unfortunately, Iwa insisted she won't return to Orunmila house. She told Orunmila, 'lo fi owo ara re tun iwa re se'. Ifa added;
ibinu ko da nnkan kan fun ni. Suuru ni baba iwa Agba t'o ni suuru. Ohun gbogbo lo ko ja A difa fun Orunmila Ifa n sawoo lo Iwo Ate Iya ti Ifa je n'Iwo Lo bako, lo babo
Ifa here informed us again that Suuru is Iwa's father, and Orunmila is her husband. Ifa also inform us that Orunmila and Iwa settled in Iwo, and he suffered during the course of their marriage. This is why wives are called Iyawo (Iya iwo meaning the suffering in Iwo). In the marriage, they bore two children, a boy and a girl (Iwa rere and Iwa buburu).
Iwa rere represent truth, honesty, compassion and unconditional love. Ifa says thus;
O le gbe ni juka o Mo l'o le gbe ni juka Otito, mo l'o le gbeni juka
Ifa is saying here that in standing firm in truth, one may face challenges and overwhelming difficulties.
Iwa buburu bores Gossip, stealing, betrayer and wickedness.
Ifa went thus saying;
Ofofo ni i peru Epe, won a si pole Iledida ni i pore Alajobi ni i payekan t'o sebi A jo g'bori ile a jeku A jo g'bori ile, a jeja A jo g'bori ile, a je koko igbin Ase d'owo ile, a jo mu.
Ifa explicitly explain that both Iwa rere and buburu would coexist, and it takes only wisdom to keep harmony between the two sides. There are repercussions for choosing Iwa rere or buburu. Iwa buburu attracts the wrathful punishment from Orisa; Iwa rere attracts difficulties too but must be endured with persistent patience for the world to become a better place. Most important Ifa emphasize on Iwa Pele (peaceful disposition) and wisdom to keep harmony and averting chaos. This is why Iwa is described as a woman who should be religiously cared for.
Ifa wrapped it up with this verse; Ba a lowo Ba a niwa Owo olowo ni. Iwa, Iwa la n wa Iwa Omo l'a bi, ta a niwa Omo olomo ni Iwa, Iwa la n wa.
Meaning, if one own all the riches and bore many children, without good character, all the person have is vanity. And the only way of attaining good character is wisdom of balance both forced.
Bible corroborate; Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 New International Version (NIV) 11. Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun. Wisdom is a shelter 12 as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.
The word Omoluwabi is deeper than anyone thought. it is philosophical. There is no one that bears Luwa as Maximus69 posited. Iwa is simply Character, daughter of Suuru (Patience) and wife of Orunmila (wisdom). These three characters are not human. Omoluwabi is the person who embodies Iwa. Yoruba people would say, bibire ko se fi owo ra loja. Iwa is divine, and can be attracted with wisdom (the lord/chief of Iwa)
Baba, Abọru, Aboye, Abọsise ooo.
"Plenty plenty, Alfa, ti onirugbọ. Woli, ti o mọ Ọlọrun, is like the case of Maximus69's lacking intelligence, wuruwuru to the answer gimmick. O fẹ fiyẹn kowa jẹ.

What's your opinion Nairalanders
Lalasticala please move this up thanks.
Wow, virtually almost everything he said is true, but what threw me was, the word "illuminati" rolling off the pastor's lips, lol. First time, I'll hear a pastor, not just intentionally, seriously and publicly mention "illuminati" but does so because he believes in it, lol
TATIME: Back then in the late 80s and early 90s when we do visit the Shrine, that track was the hit that almost everyone love Abami eda to sing for us. Surprisingly even military personnels also visiting the shrine love it's lyrics. So if soldiers serving under unrighteous human commanders are loyally dancing to songs meant to downgrade them with joy, how do you suggest a soldier serving under a righteous commander should respond knowing fully well that you're saying it truthfully after observing his loyal submission to our righteous King?
Wow, you this TATIME guy, you're really good at this JW public relations practition spinning thing sha. Just watching you scramble to continually do damage limitation/control when your sheeple/zombie ordering about hold, are unfolded with that zombie tune is quiet very entertaining to read
TATIME, remember that Fela, Abami ẹda, RIP, is making a distinction between zombie soldier and the regular honours decorated soldier. The difference is obvious and clear. Please dont pull wool over people's eyes
TATIME: May God bless you MuttleyLaff for reminding me that i'm one of the LOYAL soldiers of Christ! 2 Corinthians 11:23; Matthew 5:11-12
And thanks to my brother Maximus who enlighten me on how soldiers (ever loyal) do feel!
[img]https://s1/images/MuttAmin.gif[/img] Oops, whats the matter? TATIME, you like as if it's suddenly turned into a hot potato dropped the CHRISTIANS label, lol. Why now TATIME? Arent you anymore proud of being a CHRISTIAN ni, lol? Whats yours type TATIME, lol, is it Antioch or Constantine Christian, lol?
donnie: Exactly. The Most High will bring down all who hate the truth of a black Christ and have exalted themselves above his laws and as idols before his people Israel
@Your comments... I'm touched... Thank you bro.
You have no choice, than to be touched. Why? It is because there are few and far in between any like you. Just like you, when I see a good thing, I just have to say it out, often wouldnt be able to keep it within myself. I am still unravelling and unwrapping you, to see what else I can see and/or find out about how woke you are, lol. I am just pleased and impressed
Good on you that you love the tune. Shows you have good taste in thought provoking and conscious music that frees the mind, uplifts and elevates the spirit.
The lyrical message in that tune though, sings about the sheeple mentality, creating awareness and imparting knowledge about the wrong of being at someone's beck and call, taking orders, just as if like being a zombie. I am sure you know that, lol.
TATIME: because it reminds me each time i listen to it that we are CHRISTIANS SOLDIERS !
If I should hask you where from in the Bible anyone is reminded that they are CHRISTIANS, I am 1000% sure you would begin getting raising a sweat, start chopping teeth, began to fidget and swear under your breath and still not able to show any ounce of proof of this. Of course, I'll give you the fact that we are advised to be like a soldier(s).
TATIME: Thanks MuttleyLaff may God bless you again and again for reminding me about my duty as a SOLDIER of the man from Nazareth!
I'll accept the blessings, thank you, however I'll be lying to you if you think I am taken in by your false appreciation, which merely and totally is nothing more than an attempt at damage control and/or damage limitation, just as others like FOLYKAZE too have noticed is what you're playing at.
Like, you've been suspected by another interlocutor on this thread, only God knows what else you are behind closed doors, up to and/or what other secular socially conscious music you listen to, lol, that the sheeple like Maximus69 are unaware of you listen to, lol
Notice that the person who knows that tune fits and describes him to a tee, has kept mute, lol because of the home truth lyrical content of the tune, lol
Maximus69: Our friend (FOLYKAZE) said JW's publication 'MANKIND SEARCH FOR GOD' said "there were myths throughout the earth about a global deluge" and it sounds preposterous to him, but let me tell you today that that's the very statement i read in the same Publication that ever touched my heart most!
You asked for a fairytale my friend, now here comes one Sir just for your pleasure!
After reading the Jehovah's Witnesses Publication 'MANKIND SEARCH FOR GOD' i became disturbed about the authenticity of that Bible account, initially i wanted to dismiss it as just another fairytale but 'MANKIND SEARCH FOR GOD' truly moved me!
They said "there are myths throughout the earth about a global deluge" i once asked my grandma the meaning of the Yoruba word or title "Omolúwàbí", she simply told me back then (as i was just twelve) that there was a virtuous man named Luwa, his children were the most virtuous during that time, so it became an adage whenever people find a virtuous person they'll say in Yoruba
"Dájúdàjú omo tí Lúwà bí gangan ni eléyìí"
Meaning:-
"Certainly this must be a descendants of Luwa"
Till today Yoruba people keep calling virtuous individuals "Omo' Lúwà bí"
It was almost 20 years later when i read that statement in the Publication 'MANKIND SEARCH FOR GOD' i couldn't hold my tears as to the authenticity of Noah's story!
Jesus also spoke concerning that same story and i'm 100% sure that my friend (FOLYKAZE) must have read it several times in his copy of the Bible.
So if FOLYKAZE doesn't believe the book, i Maximus believe it completely from the bottom of my heart because i can't find any better explanation to the reason why Yoruba people keep referring to individuals living a virtuous lifestyle as OMOLÚWÀBÍ !
Hope you enjoy my story today Sir, Thanks!
LordReed: Bwahahahahaha! Luwa is Noah? OMFD! Max you don't disappoint when it comes to storytelling. Bwahahahahaha!
The Omoluabi is a Yoruba philosophical and cultural concept to describe a person of good character. The omoluabi concept signifies courage, hard work, humility and respect. An omoluabi is a person of honor who believes in hard work, respects the rights of others, and gives to the community in deeds and in action. Above all, an Omoluabi is a person of integrity.
The concept Omoluabi is an adjectival Yoruba phrase, which has the words - "Omo + ti + Olu-iwa + bi" as its components. Literally translated and separately, omo means 'child', ti means 'that or which', Olu-iwa means the chief or master of Iwa (character), bi means 'born'. When combined, Omoluabi translates as "the baby begotten by the chief of iwa". Such a child is thought of as a paragon of excellence in character
So that means you (Professor LordReed) who is NOT a Yoruba man, who often use Google to translate English to Yoruba can also use Google to translate Yoruba fairytales, indigenous adages and concepts to English!
Well congratulations Sir, you're welcome to the club of story tellers, you successfully fabricated your own version of the story!
For your information Sir, the ancient Yorùbá people often use L to pronounce names and other things that's transliterated from N, you can check your Yorùbá Bible to confirm this.
Nimrod in the Bible is known as Lámurúdu in Yorùbá, he was a great hunter according to the Bible who forcefully made himself a king amongst the first people that lived after Noah.
And perhaps what a coincidence that Odùduwà was said to have been a direct descendant of Lámurúdu (Nimrod)?
All the descendants of Odùduwà were allowed to continue ruling as Kings everywhere they stepped their feet, he gave birth to Òkànbí, Òkànbí had seven sons and these seven were the authentic Kings in all the land of Yorúbá.
Perhaps that's also a coincidence Sir, remember the adage that says "kò ní tán lára omo oba kó má ku dáñ sákì" meaning "the royal lineage must be maintained".
Well it's the fear Lámurúdu (Nimrod) infused in the minds of the people of that time that led to initiating some as royalty in all the earth, take it or leave it!
donnie: You people haven't seen anything yet. All what you have as Christianity is abomination before YAHUAH. From your pagan holidays/ festivals to Idolatory, idolizing pastors who taken the place of YAH in your life, to mammon worship, to pridefully breaking YAHUAH's commandments, including his Shabbats.
Israel has provoked YAH to anger with her pride and rebellion. YAH will not only humble Israel. He will judge and punish Israel. REPENT and let this be a wake up call because there are more judgements underway.
You're richly blessed. Wow, I am just beginning to discover how much you've woke and moved into the know more.
I love you man. Someone asked you. "Where do you assemble?" Your response, with a grin, was "At my home" I too lol as well reading your reply and of course, it is because I remembered John 4:23-24.
Now let's come close home and/or the present. Hm-hm, I am talking of COVID-19. Ghen-ghen, lol. You see one of the many lessons to learn in and/or from it, huh, lol, what the lockdown will cause, lol, hmm?. Er-oo, forced to worship in truth and spirit, lol.
I would like to break, share and eat bread with you sometime some day brother, lol.
I'll believe you do, when I see signs that you really no more want to indiscriminately be in season, lol.
LawBreaker: @muttley you know it is not easy to change the user name on nairaland. But in reality, i am no longer answering that name.
It is easy to change the user name on Nairaland, by simply inventing a new one and altogether stop using the old one, lol
LawBreaker: From the bottom of my heart, I really wanna turn a new leaf. But anytime I try and try, I keep falling. The worst part is that I have the girls number on my head. Even when I delete it and insist I won't call them, I keep going back.
It seems you dont get the significance of the need to really have a name change, so let me break this matter a bit further down for you, OK, lol.
Abram was renamed Abraham. Sarai was renamed Sarah. Jacob was renamed Israel. Benoni was renamed Benjamin. Simon was renamed Peter. James and John's last name changed to Boanerges. Apostle Paul dropped his Hebrew name, Saul, to start using his Roman name, Paul, only, this signifying his commission to reaching out to the Gentile. This is no joke nor something to take or look at, as of little value or no importance.
I deliberately didnt discuss or go into giving eye opening meaning of each of the names: Abram & Abraham, Sarai & Sarah, Jacob & Israel, Benoni & Benjamin, Simon & Peter, Saul & Paul, why Jesus gave James and John, the Boanerges name, lol because I feel its something you're capable of looking into, to find out all by yourself and unaided, lol. The most important thing to know and recognise, is that a name change and/or name drop is a decisive and/or critical thing to do, especially when it's spiritually linked with the success or failure of shaking off the monkey on one's back, lol.
Can I be frank and honest with you, hmm? To get this psychological and physical inability monkey off your back, you must have a name change and/or name drop, to start the journey of shrugging off and kicking to ground the addiction and all. I know you've prolly thought of something in the line of, which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet and so want to rationalise that names by themselves do not hold worth nor meaning, lol and so assume, there's no harm in continuing to bear the "mystical" self-indicting LawBreaker username, lol.
Fyi, reformed LawBreaker, lol, in local parlance, its said "orukọ, ma nro niyan" loosely translated means "name propels and/or reveals a lot about the person and/or their personality" You seem to, before even starting anything, miserably fall, at the first small step and hurdle.
I am itching to give you biblical references, dimensions and examples in the Bible of the importance of the right name, name giving and name having, but you arent ready for any of those yet. Anyway, cutting to the chase, dont be like Naomi, going over the top, giving yourself an unfavourable rename and one with a negative connotation to it, like she did, when she asked to be no more called Naomi, but be henceforth called, Mara lol
AntiChristian: Faceless social media doesn't mean we should do away with our conscience. Telling lies and deceit isn't a good character even here.
AntiChristian: See the way you exhibit your Islamophobia and even calling lawani a woman? Do you think by denigrating Islam with lies people will accept Jehovah withness?
Maximus69: You don't know FACELESS social media, so you're still a learner!
What's faceless about this? Why are you so this incorrigible?
The man's face and passport details are displayed pasted on his Profile Page and you still have the guts to be arguing this out with AntiChristian that he is a she, smh.
LawBreaker: I have so much urge to have Bleep with two different girls I have broken up with. I can't control it. I have tried controlling but I can't. I deleted their numbers from my phone. But I can't control it. It is making my heart very heavy. Yesternight I couldn't control myself and I drove to their house but she wasn't around.
Guys, help me. How can I completely take this off my mind. I have prayed, fasted and there is nothing I have not done. The thing is that once I tell these girls that I want to Bleep, they don't hesitate. I am tired of that kind of life. I don't want to engage in premarital Bleep anymore. I need help before this completely destroys my life and I have done so many abortions. I am contemplating suicide
I apologise in advance for not first checking when you registered "LawBreaker" as a moniker to use and to identify you with. You will appreciate and understand why I tendered the apology after what I am about to proffer you, lol.
The first thing in your quest for deliverance and/or complete transformation is that you need to sharpishily get rid of the "LawBreaker". You first need to no longer be associated with that moniker because that isn't who you are anymore. That isn't who you want to be anymore That isn't who you ever anymore want to be That isn't who you anymore need to be, lol. You are feeling me, right. Hmm? Are you following me? Are you yet catching the drift, lol, hmm?
Well, first step. Jettison the moniker, lol. Disown the moniker. Refuse being associated and identified with the moniker. Develop a passionate hatred and disgust of the moniker.
Next step, get a new and transformed, lol, moniker. Get a moniker, with a prophetic sound to it and/or that has a positive declaration ring about it, lol. Get a "born again" moniker that states not your present situation but that declares your expected, hopeful and anticipated destination. Abba Father God with the help of the Holy Spirit will give you inspiration in choosing the appropriate and suitable moniker suited. This ordained moniker has been waiting for such a time as this and for you making this move, lol.
Hmm, lol, next is a biggie. To whom much is given, much is required and/or expected, lol. Yes! The big C. Uh huh, we are talking of commitment here baby, lol. Notice that what has been glaringly absent in all your escapades and exploits is you being committed. You've been busy freely sowing your wild oats without any care, responsibility and commitment in the whole worldwide world. Anything in skirt and with a kpekus is game to you. Not condemning you about the kpekus, but just stating the obvious, lol. Sorry, all that will have to come to an end, if you are serious, honest, truthful and sincere that you really and truly have a need to change. Now, is the time, to be loyal, lol. Hmm-hmm, lol, now is the time to become a faithful, dependable, truthful, selfless, caring and above all committed to one person at a time person, lol.
Notice, no bible verses at all. Notice, no psychiatric-like probing questions asked. Notice, no what brought this sudden want to have myself changed question(s). Notice, no condemnation or waving the book at you. It all is deliberate.
Please stop me from lol. Do you really think committing suicide, especially in this circumstances, is the answer, hmm? Smh, how would you possibly successfully defend do that, erhn, lol, hmm?
What do need is a paradigm shift. Re-calibrating and re-orientation yourself. Detoxifying yourself from bad habits, wrong ventures and not positively helpful leisures, lol.
You come across as a smart, clever and intelligent person, able to hear a word or two and thereafter capable of making out three, four and possibly even more out of the one or two words, lol. I'll pause here, so give you chance to take these in and in before it turns into information overload that it already looks like it actually is now, lol.
