Another paid APC propaganda ...
just one look ate the guy you know he is acting an APC script ..
27 dollars per barrel indeed ....
Well God will shock Zombies soon shall I can say

budaatum:
I hope you know how to read charts.
Here is one for oil. Note the low point in 2016. What price was that please?

You're too quick to respond to his post

FarahAideed:
Keep buttress my point Zombie ...27 dollars indeed ..Naij wehdone

budaatum:
What price did you see on the chart? Abi your eye no work?

I meet people like you often. Even in light of clear evidence, they claim their ignorance is knowledge!
What I often wonder is whether such people don't mind others seeing how foolish they are,
or whether they don't actually know how foolish they are being.

Thankfully, such people de show themselves and those with eyes see.

Bud, FarahAideed isnt disputing the price.
The point FarahAideed is making is that the interviewee is an APC sympathiser
and that the slipped in $27/barrel comment was the dead giveaway

Butterflyle0:
This was an interview on the streets conducted by Naij TV
and I just had to duff my hat at this street guys response and I was shocked at his level of political, economic and social awareness.

I encourage everyone to watch the video (if you can) and understand what the streets are saying especially in the political climate we are now.

The streets' consciousnesses have not been collectively raised enough for them
to say "Take it back, cos we can't take it no more"
and do what is necessary to put an end to recycling spiritual, political, economic and social misfits

When Buhari talk am say our youth dem lazy, lack discipline and no get sense, people de do Fela say Nigerian government na im talk am. Hear am now for street o!

The whole brouhaha wouldnt have seen the light of the day, if goverment
believed that social infrastructure and amenities e.g. power (electricity) healthcare (hospitals), education (schools and universities), public facilities (community housing and prisons) and transportation (railways and roads) are foundational services and structures that support the quality of life of a nation, region, city or neighborhood

Our economic growth, especially with the western region, in the 60s and early 70s was phenomenal and promising
but after we allowed, as a nation, the rot to set in, we since then have been battling with an uphill struggle trying to repair or fix the rot.

We need visionary and charismatic leadership

Don't mind people.
I spent two years back home farming and struggled to find staff despite paying more than the local rate.
My people preferred to go and do rankadede to the local politicians than work for a living.
Annoyingly, when rankadede paid, politician will drop 20k or more,
and they would laughed at the poor sod who's been working all day and whom I paid only a thousand a day.
"Who no get sense", they would tell me.
Then Buhari entered and turned off the tap and now they are begging for gari say "Buhari no good!"

Yes! Buhari is no good for lazy people, and I like it that way.
Rankadede no be job! Person wey no work must to starve!

Government, please, create an enabling environment and a level playing field
and in no time, be ready to be awed, at seeing how positively energetic, hard-working and productive my people are

ednut1:
I love religion

1/ What is religion that God approves and that is true, pure and faultless?
2/ What exactly, is it in this religion that you do love?

Ubenedictus:
taking a jab at Catholics can be a good past time
but at least one shouldn't do it until after fully considering the issue

Concerning the exaltation of Mary to "godlike" status blueAgent criticism,
let's look forward to the detail blueAgent will go into that explains what he means with that "godlike" status stamp
and thereafter see what you Ubenedictus and all make of his so-called stated "godlike" status of Mary

Ubenedictus:
Your username is pretty confusing, I'll try and correct myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFAQ2-L5JrY
Seems you didnt, as a kid, grow up, watch Dick Dastardly and his sidekick, Muttley, known best for his mischievous wheezing laughs.
If you did Ubenedictus, you would find the username, MuttleyLaff, not at all pretty confusing.

MuttleyLaff:
"Mary, was the mother of incarnate Jesus only,
that is the son of God manifested in human flesh
and not the son, in His pre-incarneted form which is a spirit."
- blueAgent ©

Gggg102, is there anything incorrect in the above inverted commas blueAgent quote?
If not then, you see, we all agree with each other and are saying the same thing
Mary, is the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, however God as Spirit, has no mother

Gggg102:
the fact that he is seeing and admitting to the truth and at the same time denying it.
is the son of God no longer God?

no Catholic has and will ever say Mary is the mother of pre incarnate God.
so he is fighting a strawman.
God existed without a mother but choose to have a mother to accomplish his mission on earth.

he thinks being born by a person = that person created you or you never existed before the person gave birth to you

blueAgent:
The fact is there is no biblical prove to support your argument that Mary should be called mother of God,
why not maintain the accepted mother of Jesus.
Your Church is known for Blasphemy go and lookup sites that talks about your Church Satanic and pagan roots.

There must be a reason(s) for your strong opposition to Mary and obvious dislike of her being called the mother of God.
Is it because to your understanding Jesus isnt God?

Ubenedictus:
why not stick to one argument at a time.

I know you don't like the Catholic church and whatever she teaches but don't use your bias to judge every topic.

Jesus is God, whoever gave birth to him gave birth to God in human flesh.
she is the mother of God Incarnate.

Mary is a mere creature, created by Jesus yet he chose her to give birth to him.

Mary gave birth to her creator, her savior, her lord and her God, yes she did....she is the mother of God.

if you don't like Catholics saying it then maybe you can discuss it with a non Catholic like mutteylaff,
but whether you agree or not it is true,
to deny this is to DENY that Jesus is God

blueAgent:
Why not you and your Church stick to calling Mary mother of Jesus alone, if that is even relevant?

blueAgent:
The funny thing is all through the Bible Jesus never called Mary Mother
rather he used the expression Woman to address Mary.
exaltation of Mary to celebrity & godlike status was invented by your Church it is not scriptural.

Are you sure of the emboldened that the bible never called Mary Jesus' mother?

Exaltation of Mary to "celebrity" status was not invented by the church
Exaltation of Mary to "celebrity" status, is 110% scriptural

In fact, the exaltation of Mary to "celebrity" status isnt a church invention.
The "celebrity" status originated from angel Gabriel's Day 1 visitation.
Not just that, Mary, even, with her song, in Luke 1:48, predicted the "celebrity" status

Concerning the exaltation of Mary to "godlike" status, you will have to go into detail what you mean by this
and thereafter let's see what Ubenedictus and all make of it

And it came to pass, as he spoke these things,
a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him,
Blessed is the womb that bore you,
and the breasts which you have sucked.
(i.e. woman, in effect, is saying to Jesus, blessed is your mother)
- Luke 11:27

Jesus would have witnessed this "celebrity" status too, so many times, all over
and that's why, for posterity sake,
one of Jesus' firsthand experiences of the exaltation of Mary to "celebrity & godlike" status is historically recorded, as read in Luke 11:27 above

Ubenedictus:
that is pretty simple, we call her mother of Jesus because that is who she is,
we also call her mother of our savior because that is who she is,
we call her mother of our Lord and God because that is who she is
but we actually particularly use the later title because it is an implicit declaration that we believe in the divinity of Jesus,
it means clearly that I believe Jesus is God.

Lastly you ask about the relevance, I suggest you Read up on the nestorian heresy AKA Nestorianism,
that particular phrase means the church believes in the hypostatic union, the true identity of Jesus....
Those who deny is are the nestorians who divide the nature of Christ.

blueAgent:
Same false reference, show me Bible verses not worthless books written by men without evil motives.

Ubenedictus:
I didn't show you any books written by men, please don't accuse me of what I haven't done.
Jesus is God John 1:1
some one gave birth to him Luke 2

that person gave birth to God.

the fact that you disagree doesn't make is untrue.

blueAgent:
Then show me where it is written that Mary is mother of God.

blueAgent, will:
1/ Showing you, where, in the bible, Mary is called mother of Jesus
2/ and show you, with scripture again, that, if same Jesus, is God, then, Mary is mother of God, appease you?

nigeriapenmedia:
Nollywood actress, Tonto Wigo Charity Dikeh, popularly known as Tonto Dikeh, has dazzled some of her fans again with recent photos as she took to her verified Instagram page to share almost unclad photos of herself.

The Ikwerre-born Rivers State pretty mother-of-one revealed that she went for a spa treatment in Abuja, courtesy of her best friend as she shared photos of the experience on social media.

Tonto who was seen in the photos in a semi-unclad state as she posed in a bathtub, also used the opportunity to applaud her best friend in the caption because according to her, what her friend did for her is something she cannot do for herself

Thanks once again,...but I could be very wrong too.
That's why the earth is too big that everybody can do his / her findings
But one thing I know for sure is that GOD exist !

frank317:
if God exists so? how does this fact change the price of garri in the market

God does not stop to exist because someone ignores He exist
so it is good to read you acknowleging it is a fact that God exists.

Seun:
If, within five minutes after a specific prayer by a theist, the stars in the sky were rearranged to spell I AM GOD: I EXIST,
and it could be seen by everybody, and it could be scientifically confirmed by every astronomer that that the stars had indeed been moved around and it wasn't just an optical illusion,
then I might be convinced that there exists a great mind out there which is capable of moving stars around in response to prayer.

Can any theist make this happen? (cc: winner01)

Evangkatsoulis:
What language would the "I AM GOD: I EXIST" be arranged in?

Seun:
English, of course.

Evangkatsoulis:
And how do you know if the everyday arrangement of stars spells "I AM GOD: I EXIST" in ancient languages long forgotten
and that it's english equivalent is not a possible arrangement?
Shebi the light we see from stars are from thousands or millions of years ago?
Wouldn't that mean that God would be answering the prayers of someone millions of years ago?
And if I may ask, how does star arrangement prove that a transcendental being created the universe?

Seun:
Because God would know to communicate with us in a language we understand.
He could even arrange stars in every language ever spoken.

Evangkatsoulis:
Again, why 5 minutes?

Seun:
We have to set a time limit so we can conclude the challenge has failed if nothing happens within that time. Jesus promised to come soon and 2000 years later, people still believe he will come like a thief in the night. If he had given a definite time, we’d have been able to move on.

Evangkatsoulis:
Shebi the light we see from stars are from thousands or millions of years ago?
Wouldn't that mean that God would be answering the prayers of someone millions of years ago?

Seun:
We have been told that God exists “outside time ” and knows the future so millions of years ago he knew you’d pray and already answered it.

Evangkatsoulis:
And if I may ask, how does star arrangement prove that a transcendental being created the universe?

Seun:
It’s a good first step.
Arranging the stars through time is so difficult that I can concede that a person who could do that might be the creator

Everyone except you, knows this is a dead on arrival request DOA

Four requests, at least, similar to this had already been made and none were granted
God, on each of those occassions, didnt go along nor give in, to make the request(s) happen

I am sorry, you're on a very looooooooooooonnnnng thing, if you're waiting, to be convinced with that pony trick star arrangement thing.

Please my good friends help me out before I die

Please our good friend, explain:
1/ How this death is going to come about
2/ Is this death going to be by suicide or murder?

Princessmkpafi:
I am very bitter now.
I have a finance since 2010 till date, he's done with school, he stayed with his parent without a job for good 4yrs without a job,
I do sent him money, bought him clothes, shoes etc.
He wanted to die in the village, i told him to come over where I am,
for good 9 months I too cared of him with money,
I gave him a federal government job, they paid him 100+,
now with are cat and dog, abusing me everyday, calling me names, compared me with people,
this night he told me that he is done with me, that he will report me to his parent,
that he will kill me, he went to see my parents oooo promised them that he will marry me.
Look at now am noting before me.
Please my good friends i need help, words of wisdom thinks all.

You dont have to cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time, energy and money making it.

Now, is the time, to cut your losses, with this fiancé business.
It will be one of best decisions you ever made in your life
as it seems the fiancé business has turned out to be a poor investment.

Concerning the way in which two people are connected, here are words of wisdom and solution.
Look at and study the lives of:

1/ Abraham, the chief steward his household Eliezer, Isaac and Rebekah
2/ Jacob and Rachel
3/ David and Abigail
4/ Ruth and Boaz

God ceased being matchmaker after He got accused of finding and/or giving a wife for Adam
From then on, the onus shifted on to man, to find himself a wife.

#1, above, should make you think a lot about this issue concerning the way in which two people are connected:

Princessmkpafi, your husband will find you,
if not, you'll be directed to who is your husband, in the style or manner of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz

johnw47:
Father is God:
Rom 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Son is God:
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Holy Ghost is God:
Act 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

God is one God, He is the Father, He is the Word who became Jesus Christ, He is the Holy Spirit

Hallelujah!

When the God become Father, at what time?
When did God become Son, at what time?
How did God become Father?
How did God become Son?
What really, is the Holy Spirit apart from being God's?

johnw47:
God can do and be whatever He wills

but i will stick with what God's word tells us about Himself
and not with what else might be

Glad you know and accept that God has the freedom to do and be whatever He wills.

Glad you know that God has a blanket cheque to be whatever He wills to be.

What God's word tells us about Himself, is that, God is I AM.

That essentially means:
I will become whatsoever I may become.

That expressive phrase speaks volumes,
revealing that, God is someone without any limit or bound
That God, is someone bigger and larger than any specified number of person, even three or trinity.

olumite2014:
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God:
for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:2 KJV

Hope that answer your question?

No it doesnt actually
and that is because, you've misunderstood that verse and its context

Just like Small Doctor sang, you using 1 Corinthians 14:2, for an answer, ended up "kicking a penalty shot, in to throw in"

PS: out of curiosity, olumite2014 how many languages do you speak?
List them for me please
Its not a trick question, I plan to use your answer to explain 1 Corinthians 14:2

johnw47:
we know from the Bible that the Father of Jesus Christ is God
we know from the Bible that the Word is God

show us from the Bible which other persons God is

I am glad we know from the Bible that the Father of Jesus Christ is God

Glad we know from the Bible that the Word is God
but are you disagreeing that, God is someone without any limit or bound?
That God, is not, someone bigger and larger than any specified number of person, even three or trinity?

johnw47:
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

johnw47:
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

No one is doubting whether or not God is: Spirit, and/or the Word, Jesus Christ

The fact and truth, that I know is difficult for many, to understand, is that, God, as well, is: I AM

''I AM that I AM'', ''I SHALL BE THAT I SHALL'' or ''I WILL BE THAT I BE'' are expressive phrase
God will be what God needs to be. We find out what God was yesterday, we keep knowing Him every moment and day
He is new every morning, He is new tomorrow

Thats why, God in Exodus 3:14, said to Moses:
"I AM WHO I AM.
This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you."

Essentially means, I will become whatsoever I may become.

God therefore, is, "not-known-number" of person
God, then, is, x-person
and God, in effect is, ∞-persons, as in, infinite or infinity.

God is someone without any bound.
God is someone bigger and larger than any specified number, even three or trinity.

budaatum:
The following is close:

94. Paternalism:
A serious fallacy of ethos, arbitrarily tut-tutting, dismissing or ignoring another's arguments or concerns as "childish" or "immature;"
taking a condescending attitude of superiority toward opposing standpoints or toward opponents themselves.
E.g., "Your argument against the war is so infantile.
Try approaching the issue like an adult for a change," "I don't argue with children,"
or "Somebody has to be the grownup in the room, and it might as well be me. Here's why you're wrong..."

Also refers to the sexist fallacy of dismissing a woman's argument because she is a woman, e.g., "Oh, it must be that time of the month, eh?"

THE SEDUCING SPIRITS.
----------------------------
Brethren beware of seducing spirits who appear in beautiful and pretty forms of womanhood.
They are out there in you schools, shopping complex, campuses, offices, clubs, mosques and even churches.
Be watchful and prayerful lest you fall into the hands of these pretty monsters.

Seun:
MrTunjiBanjo: They are not seducing spirits. They are just beautiful women. Don't be silly.

⁴Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and call understanding your kinsman,
⁵that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words.

that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Perfectbeing:
You obviously know what I meant
when I said God doesn't require human sacrifices and he never asked for one.
Yes, God asked Abraham for his son but it is obvious he needed to show Abraham something.
He really didn't needed a human sacrifice hence he stopped Abraham from killing Isaac..

[img]https://s1/images/stirringMuttleylaff.gif[/img]
It's not about me
the matter has nothing to do about me knowing what you meant.
What of others, reading your misspeak?

You, before all these, with hindsight, attempts to clarify,
made a strongly incorrect and blatantly not true statement,
when you, without worrying about what others think you mean, said:
"Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible."

Perfectbeing:
Wait I don't get. Did God ask for humans to be sacrificed?
And please don't say Isaac.
Isaac was not sacrificed.

"Then God said,
"Take your son, your only son, whom you love--Isaac--and go to the region of Moriah.
Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."
- Genesis 22:2

I already
You saying, Isaac was not sacrificed, is jumping away from the point

The point, truth and fact is that, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, as a burnt offering
so why did you then say:
"Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible."

Perfectbeing:
Timemachine said God requires a lot of human sacrifices.

Timemachine says a lot things.
It doesnt mean that what he says is right

Perfectbeing:
How is Jesus' sacrifice on the cross a lot of human sacrifices?

You know what a strawman is, dont you Perfectbeing?
Give it a rest, as one of my biggest pet peeves is strawman

That's is what is called speaking in tongue

Perfectbeing:
My quote was a reaction to the statement of 'Timemachine',
where he said that "God requires a lot a human sacrifices".
God required only one human sacrifice and not a lot of them.

"... But Jehovah was an enigma in the Abrahamic days,
he demanded lots of human sacrifices and wage wars against the Philistines through Israel"
- Timemachine © 2018

"And also someone said God requires human sacrifice.
Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible..."
- Perfectbeing © 2018

Perfectbeing, Perfectbeing, Perfectbeing.
How many times did I call you?

Never mind,
as what's important is agreeing that God needed only one perfect human sacrifice and not a lot of them

I know Isaac skipped your memory, that's why you said:
"Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible."

Perfectbeing:
Some people keep uttering words they clearly don't know. "Even Jesus is not a Christian". Does that make any sense at all. Does Jesus need to be a Christian before he should be worshipped. What exactly is the meaning of "Christian" or "Christianity". It's just like saying "God did not serve God, so we shouldn't serve God"
And also someone said God requires human sacrifice. Nowhere did God ask for a human to be sacrificed in the whole Bible...

God required the perfect human sacrifice.

The challenge is how can anyone possibly get hold of the perfect human sacrifice.

Have you heard of the saying, that,
if you want something done well,
if you want something done perfectly well,
if you want it done to your taste or perfect standard,
you do it yourself.

Guess what happened Perfectbeing, concerning that issue of perfect human sacrifice
