You fools should take your nonsensical vow from my profile. I am not one of you killers and I will never be, even afterlife. I'm not islam, I don't know any paedophilic MuhamMAD.

Take your vow out of my profile. You can't force your demonic religion on everybody even on social still? That's a shame.

Take it away!

They didn't force you to accept their T&C.
Your stubbornness did that.

AntiChristian:
Very informative. We need to learn before practice and not just following our desires.

You can't just name a kid without knowing what the name means or where it's from.

Wetin be Hadiza?

Since the day I realised that the Quran actually gives more details than the Bible, I became less rigid to it.

Imagine as important as the Queen of Sheba was to Solomon, her name was never mentioned in the Bible. Only the Quran gives her name as Balikis.

Likewise so many important characters in the Bible whose names were not mentioned.

When you realise that the Talmond, Bible and,Quran are actually from the same origin, you'll be less religious.

Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. Luke 23:46

One of the most profound and transforming prayers we could ever pray is given to us today as the response to our Psalm: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” These words were, of course, spoken by our Lord as He hung upon the Cross and prepared to breathe His last. But they are also words that echoed throughout the earthly life of Jesus, and they continue to echo from the divine heart of our Lord in Heaven for all eternity. “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

This prayer is a prayer of surrender to the perfect will of the Father in Heaven, which was the one and only mission of Jesus as He lived upon earth. His only goal was to fulfill the Father’s will, and this was done by His continual surrender of His life to the Father. But Jesus’ surrender to the Father in Heaven did not end as He died upon the Cross. His surrender to the Father is an eternal reality. He continually gives Himself to the Father with perfect love. This is Heaven. Heaven is an eternal unity of the Most Holy Trinity. It’s an eternal giving of the Father to the Son and the Son to the Father. This perfect giving and receiving of love between the Father and the Son spirates the Holy Spirit Who proceeds from them both.

Imagine the response that the Father gave to the Son as He prayed this prayer from the Cross. Though the Father’s response is not recorded in Scripture, we can be certain that the Father’s response was one of complete receptivity and reciprocity. The Father received His eternal Son through that prayer and accepted the ultimate sacrifice of His earthly life for the salvation of the world. And the Father then responded in a reciprocal way by bestowing upon the Son in His human nature the full gift of His very self. Though the Father and the Son were always perfectly united as one, this prayer from the Cross became an earthly manifestation of this holy union.

Though this eternal reality of the Love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a deep mystery of our faith, it is also a mystery that we must seek to penetrate and participate in. Heaven will be our eternal participation in this perfect love. Jesus’ prayer on the Cross is the perfect prayer for us to pray throughout our lives so as to begin to enter into that eternal reality, here and now, and to prepare ourselves to share in this eternal union forever.

On this Good Friday, as you gaze upon the crucifixion of Jesus and reflect upon His brutal agony and His earthly death, try to look beyond His human suffering to His perfect surrender. Try to see that His physical death was nothing other than an act of perfect love for the Father and an act into which we are invited to participate. Prayerfully ponder this beautiful prayer of Jesus today: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Say it over and over. Pray it slowly and meditatively. Savor each and every word. Make it your own prayer. Let it come forth from the depths of your spirit. Let it be your act of love of God so that the Holy Spirit will become manifest in your life. Use this prayer to show your love for the Father, making Him more fully your Father. Use this prayer as a way of uniting yourself with the eternal Son. Say it with Him, in Him and through Him. Strive to become one with our Lord as He manifests His oneness with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Share in Their divine life. If you do so from the depths of your being, you can be sure that our Father in Heaven will receive you just as He did His Son and They, together with the Holy Spirit, will bestow upon you the gift of their Triune life.

Father in Heaven, into Your hands I commend my spirit. As I gaze upon the crucifix and see Your eternal Son looking to You in Heaven, I unite myself with His eternal surrender to You. My Lord, Jesus, draw me into Your surrender and help me to make Your perfect prayer my own. I love You, Most Holy Trinity, and pray that I may share in the eternal reality of Your love. Jesus, I trust in You.

There are so many "perfect prayers" in the Bible.

The Lord's prayer being the most important one.

The only reason Jesus prayed and committed his spirit to God was simply because according to scriptures he knew he'd die and have to battle in hell.

Brimstone77:
seriously I wanted to reply you but then I remembered that today is good Friday.

You no dey shame.
Your so called leaders are busy embarrassing your ancestors upandan.

Frontail:
. Mumu talk ! If that Ogun power fit strike ! Why not simply send Ogun to Strike those Terrorist Fulani Herdsmen ? Nonsense

Do you then support that Amotekun should harass and brutalise innocent citizens?

Whether Ogun is effective or not is not the point, the point here is that they don't abuse their uniform and mission.

BassReeves:
You're going beside the point, that people genuinely and truly follow Jesus for their respective and different reason.

In John 6:26, when a certain crowd were barefaced told they followed Jesus because of the chance to fill their stomach, no one denied this. They couldn't deny what Jesus said about them, because they were true followers of Jesus albeit for the wrong reasons, wrong motivations, wrong sense of purpose etc.

In Mark 1:16, when Jesus saw Simon (i.e. Peter) and his brother, Andrew, He told them to follow Him and that, He'll teach them how to be fishers of men. You do know what it takes to be a fisherman or angler, dont you. If you do, then go figure the rest and all.

Being a Fisher of men is synonymous to being an evangelist.

So you're a follower of Christ if you're an evangelist?
And you're not a follower of Christ if you're not an evangelist?

BassReeves:
I have already given three verses, namely, Matthew 4:19, John 6:2 and John 6:26, that each, gives an indication, not only what it means to be a follower of Jesus but also gives how to identify, who in their respective and different way, is a follower of Jesus

Point of correction.
Your quoted verses below only showed that not all who claim to follow Christ are truly followers.
The question is how then do you identify true followers of Christ?

Matthew 4:19
'“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”'

John 6:2
'A large crowd was following Him because they had seen the signs (attesting miracles) which He continually performed on those who were sick.'

John 6:26
'Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you have been searching for Me, (i.e. follow Me)
not because you saw the signs (attesting miracles), but because you ate the loaves and were filled.'

bsalawu:
Star man... God will grant Nigeria favor to be ruled by you...

But he's only one man surrounded by politicians.
What Nigeria needs is not another APC or PDP president or governor. But a complete overhauling of the system.

We need a new crop of professionals to run this country.
Not politicians as usual.

BassReeves:
I reiterate, not all the followers of Jesus Christ are disciples, saints and/or believers. People, multitude, persons etc followed Jesus for respective and different reasons.

True.
But what does it mean to be a follower of Christ?
How can you identify one?

BassReeves:
Matthew 4:19
'“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”'

John 6:2
'A large crowd was following Him because they had seen the signs (attesting miracles) which He continually performed on those who were sick.'

John 6:26
'Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you have been searching for Me, (i.e. follow Me)
not because you saw the signs (attesting miracles), but because you ate the loaves and were filled.'

Not all who follow or followed Jesus are disciples. People, multitude, persons etc followed Jesus for respective and different reasons

So it's by church gatherings that you identify someone following Christ?

What happened to your other thread?

hoopernikao:
Are you reading what you write at all.
The Apostles gathered at their own discretion and decision? You are coming home gradually.

The apostles are doing what their master and savior did. That is what is called a follower. Not someone who pick only part that he wants and still hide behind God's name.

Secondly, you dont have any freedom in Christ to act outside Christ. That is not freedom, it is disobedience. And you can't be walking in disobedience and act as obedient child. The only truth here now is that you keep away that your freedom which is not in Christ and embrace Christ way of living and practices. That is the way out for you on this unchristian doctrine you fashioned for yourself.

You obviously don't believe the Bible.
A person says he's a follower of Christ yet you're not satisfied until he's a follower of hoopernikao right?

If you believe the Bible you will leave him for the Holyspirit to convict. Or can you do the work of the holyspirit more than the holyspirit?

But we both know your intention is not to minister but to always prove you're right and everyone else is wrong.

Always JESUS will WIN.

FORVER : JESUS ISSA WINNER!

Shame to devilhimself and his children


Gospel Joke of the Weekend.....

After countless years of Jesus being in the spotlight,
The Devil had had enough.
He issued a challenge to Jesus; whoever writes the longest story on Microsoft Word wins.
Jesus accepts, and they get to it.
After hours and hours of frantic typing, there is suddenly a power cut.
The Devil is furious, whilst Jesus remains calm.
As soon as the power comes back, he boots up his computer and has lost all his work,
before seeing Jesus calmly typing from where he left off. Lucifer is not happy at all,
He was calling Jesus a cheat,
before God intervenes, proclaiming Jesus the winner.

The moral of the story?
JESUS SAVES!!


(Only the wise will understand )[/quote]The moral of the story, Christians lie.

TheUndercover:
Power Imbalances:

In most relationships, the power dynamic is governed by dependency; whichever party needs the other less is the party that wields power.

If you need them more than they need you, they wield power over you. If they need you more than you need them, you wield power over them. If you both need each other intensely, or you both have little or no need for each other, your power levels are equal.

The power dynamic being governed by dependency is true of almost all types of relationships; business, romantic, even friendship. Do what you can to minimize the degree to which you are dependent on others, and maximize the degree to which they are dependent on you.

All time classic.

Any one can tell you why you need to buy their product even if it's fake.

What it means to be a witness of Christ is to give people true and practical reasons through your own experience why they need a relationship with God.

If we really wanna see a Beautiful world, Just as it was in the beginning in the Garden of Eden, let us do all we should do to Ensure we surrender to JESUS and live for Him.

Let's live Prepared So we will be Qualified for the rapture when He Comes and return with Him for the Millienium reign on Earth.

It is at the Millienium reign on Earth that we will see that Beautiful and Wonderful World.

Mumu.
Clearly you don't read and understand the Bible.
The supposed new world is nothing like the Garden of Eden.
Cos even from biblical point of view the Garden of Eden no longer exists.

The Garden of Eden was on Earth not on another planet or heaven. And guess what? God was said to destroy the whole earth with a flood including the garden of Eden.

Atkeast read your Bible before coming to spill trash on here.

maasoap:
Lol. You still don't get the point. It is not about earning mega buck, it is about get value for your money. It is not about buying expensive gadgets and all, it is about paying far above the real value of items and that's these yahoo boys are known for and what the writer was talking about.
Yahoo boys would pay 15k for a 7k worth wrist watch. They would gladly pay 20m naira for a piece of land not worth 10m naira. Don't tell me that you haven't seen or heard this kind habit about them.
Freelancers work for their money, it's hard earned. Yahoo boys steal.

The more important question is what happened after she romanced your beards?

I'm just surprised APC and PDP are still confidently preparing to win the next 2023 elections.

After the EDNSARS movement I'm surprised the youths have suddenly become quiet and tamed.

By now no politician should publicly be able to associate with both APC and PDP parties concerning 2023 elections.

Interestingly, the champions of the Endsars movement are already divided.
We youths don't need to wait for any champion before we make our voices known. After all Endsars flourished because it had no leader, it was simply a movement necessitated by our collective grievances and frustration both against police brutality and bad governance!

I believe by now we should be ostracizing APC and PDP.
We should even be ostracizing every politician that has associated with both APC and PDP.

We should be pining for and galvanising a formidable party and the candidates with track records of excellence in their industry that we want to both run for presidency, governorship and legislative positions in the next 2023 elections.

As it is now, the whole Endsars movement will only have amounted to a waste and the lives lost in vain if APC or PDP wins the next 2023 elections.

Liberalism is the biggest problem of the Yoruba's.

You just may have a point there.

He's too tribalistic, with the likes of Umar Nigeria Can Never be One

Every Nigerian is tribalistic.
Being tribalistic, violent and harmful is the problem.

Hausas and Igbos are the worst at this.
That's why I love my yoruba tribe.
As tribalistic as yorubas are, we don't believe in causing harm on other tribes except in self defense.

Janosky:
According to your Bible, Revelation 12:7-9,How can sin exist in heaven when Satan and the rebellious angels have driven out?

How can England be in the 2018 World Cup final when they were driven out of the semifinal by Croatia?

Even though your Bible says Satan is the original serpent misleading the world and he started misleading the world, first with Eve, you still dey yarn GIBBERISH

Basic comprehension. How did you graduate from secondary school?

Where was Satan and where were the rebellious angels when they became "rebellious"?

They were in heaven.

I decided to answer the question myself cos I'm sure you still won't understand.

Janosky:
See this Bros DECEIVING himself !
Why do you misquote Genesis 3:1,14-15?
Does a mere snake speak any language understood by Adam and Eve?
The cartoon characters wey you dey see for your television Screen, na them dey speak to you?
Bros, grow up !!

This LIENUS FALSELY claims JWs turn Bible upside down while he dey here telling Nairalanders that sin is still going on in heaven.
Your deity can allow sinners to dwell with him & continue sinning like himself,no wahala.

Your deity who loves sin is NOT the true God of the Bible, Jehovah.

Lol a serpent can speak but a snake can't speak?
Your confusion is not only the Bible but clearly basic English.

Serpent simply means snake.

About sin being possible in heaven.
Your idea of sin once again is what's confusing you.

Sin is not just fornication or drunkenness or killing, etc.
Sin is simply disobedience and offense to God.

The angels warring against God in heaven was clearly a sin. Do the math, sin can still exist in heaven.

Just saying.

JohnNgene:
The problem with Islamization is its voilent Jihad strategy.

How many times do Muslims preach to non-Muslims trying to win them "peacefully" into Islam? Is Islam not mostly propagated through socio-political and economic conquest, marriage and by birth?

Christ has never encouraged voilence. Christ teaches love even to one's enemies. Christ lived and died loving and blessing those who hated and eventually killed him. I daresay that Christianity is what has made Christians weak against the voilence of Islam.

Imagine if Christians believed in an eye for eye. But Christ says if your enemy slaps you, you should turn the other cheek for him to dash you another slap. Chai!

Furthermore, please don't confuse a secular radio station owned or run by a Christian with a 100% Christian radio station. I don't think there is any Christian radio-station (not online o) in Nigeria at the moment. I may be wrong though.

That's where you should have started, researching the number of Christian radio stations already in existence in Nigeria both online and through FM.

There are several 100% Christian stations in Nigeria.
Even in the North there are Christian radio stations.

The problem is you still do not see that your issue is not whether there are Christian stations but you won't be satisfied as long as there are Islam stations and everyone hasn't converted to your religion.

Thats the problem with slam and Christianity.

Kobojunkie:
I am afraid this isn't about tarea and wheat. You are not "visually" examining plants here.
And this is not about Paul's so called gifts of the spirits here either. This is about judging by the teaching of Jesus Christ.

According to Jesus Christ, those who are His are not slaves to sin but through acceptance(trust) and obedience of His commandments/teachings, have instead become Sons of God -they know the Truth( Jesus Christ) and the Truth(Jesus Christ) has set them free. These are those who abide in Jesus Chirst and He, Jesus Christ, abides in them.
So, someone struggling with sin has no business teaching anyone that which he has yet to grasp the truth of.

Those who are false are those who are still laden with sin, struggling to accept and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ( the Truth), and so live in disobedience of the commandments/teachings of Jesus Christ, as I have said times before now.

But even the Apostles were still struggling with sins even when they became Apostles. Paul for example, 2 Cor 12:7.

Kobojunkie:
I don't deny the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, whose teachings are contained in the 4 Gospels. As Jesus commands, I accept(trust) and obey His teachings/commandments which is the Truth of God.

As for the views(words of men) expressed in the letters attributed to the Apostles, I agree with those views that line up with the teachings of Jesus Christ and reject those views which do not line up with the teachings of Jesus Christ. That is it !

The problem with dwelling on the views expressed by the servant rather than the very teachings of the Master Himself is that one invests trust in the wrong source. Jesus Christ is the Truth of God and His teachings are Spirit , the standard we are meant to live by - Paul's words are meant to be validated against the Truth of God, Jesus Christ, not imbibed as is.

As I said in my previous post, Jesus Christ declared that those who love Him are those who keep His commandments. So, the false teachers and prophets are then those who do not obey His commandments.

I'm sure even you can't identify them by their fruits. Why?
The tares and the wheat are very similar in nature.

A wheat (true pastor) could easily be struggling with some sin that easily besets him and you conclude that he's a tare.
While a tare (false pastor) can easily pretend to manifest some of the gifts and fruit of the spirit and you will erroneously assume he's a wheat.

So while it's easy to quote the scripture and say you will identify them by their fruits, reality has proven that this is sometimes not even easy to discern.

If that is the case then Ifeanyi is formally back to where he rightly belongs.

This igbo tradition is just stupid.
It defies sense and biology.

If ever any father decides to take yall to court, you'll know that the legal system supercedes your stupid traditions.

Even Ifeanyi will gladly reject his hungry igbo family to follow his successful dad, Davido.

JohnNgene:
I want you to close your eyes and imagine a Nigeria without Christians or Christianity. Imagine Sharia being enforced in all of Nigeria. Imagine an Islamic Republic of Nigeria. Does it look like a country you'd like to be a citizen of?

Why do you preach against islamization of Nigeria when you yourself have confirmed here that Christians have the agenda of Christianization of Nigeria?

Religions that don't try to dominate others have peaceful coexistence with other religions but Christianity and Islam have a global agenda that makes them the real problem of the world.

A Muslim is tasked with islamization of the world just as a Christian is tasked with Christianization of the world.
Both religions trumping desperately to establish their own idea of God's kingdom on earth.

Interestingly Judaism that birthed Christianity and Islam does not impose it's religion on others (in recent times).

Point being, Christians have no moral or religious obligation to cast aspersions at Islam's agenda to Islamic Nigeria when the agenda of Christianity is likewise to Christianize Nigeria.

In both religions, there's no room for Live and Let Live.
You're either one of us or an enemy of our God.

Imagine the ignorance behind this post, with all the Christian radio stations in Nigeria, OP is still unsatisfied until Christian stations are created to snuff out Islamic stations.
There's no room for live and let live.

When yall realise what religion has turned you into, I hope it won't be too late.

Kobojunkie:
Look out for those who do not keep the commandments/teachings of Jesus Christ.

For example, those who teach doctrines and traditions of men, what declared are lies, are false teachers and prophets.

Those who deviate from the Gospel as taught by Jesus Christ in any way or form are not of Him.

Those of them who preach the Old covenant and not the New Covenant, are not of Him.
The list goes on.

Lol but I've read you denying even the new testament.

From my observation, your idea of new testament is only the 4 synoptic gospels about Jesus Christ. While the rest of the new testament can't be trusted since they were "words of men."

Cos most of the pastors we call false today are not those who dwell on the old testament teachings only but those who dwell on the teachings of Apostle Paul, especially the Hyper Grace pastors.

Since you're the botanist, maybe you can help the rest of us identify and differentiate the true from the false prophets by their fruits.
