Kokoboss: wow thanks so much brother. I don't miss prayers. I wake up every morning 3am
Yet you insult your neighbours from 6am till 11pm every day. Kontinu.
I hope you're atleast yoruba muslim and not the hausa muslims who pray just before taking the lives of innocent people just for not sharing your slave beliefs.
But if you are a type of person that don't like eating at that time of the day, you can take little water or Little fruits like date, pepper fruit etc as your suhur.
But not taking anything before the commencement of the day's fasting. I haven't seen an Hadith about it.
Can't you people think for yourselves?
I celebrate the day I was delivered from religious bondage.

High Chief Raymond Dokpesi though grateful to God for his recovery from Covid-19 but questions why malaria patients are taken as Covid-19 patients, to him it's food for thought for another day
Apparently Covid-19 is updated Malaria 2.0. No wonder it's not much of a pandemic in Africa.

BlackBuhari: GOVERNOR OBIANO VISITS BRIDGE HEAD ONISTHA EXPRESSES DISSATISFACTION AT COMPLIANCE
Governor Willie Obiano has expressed dissatisfaction at the low level of compliance at Anambra Bridgehead boundary, Onitsha.
Governor Obiano made the expression when he paid a surprise visit to the bridge.
On arrival, there was a long queue of human and vehicular movement, most people, without face masks and unmindful of the social distance protocol.
The Governor who was visibly angry, directed the Police Commissioner to block the two ends, to reduce human and vehicular traffic.
The State Police Commissioner, Mr John Abang, Commissioner for Transport, Dr Christian Madubuko, and other members of the COVID-19 Committee, were also present.
Recall that during his last broadcast, Governor Obiano announced a shutdown of all boundaries in the State, with exception of essential service providers.

MizJanet: why dont pastors preach this verse ? lol , the average churchman has been brainwashed to belive he gat a duplicate life , a soul form that goes to either heaven or hell after he died, ask such ones , what happen to their body after death ? they tell you it decompose . but the below is something that uv never been told or never given a second thought
Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
YOUR WHOLE BODY go to hellfire ? not just a made up soul
the question is: how many human body have you seen disappearing to hellfire?
This single verse has plagued Christians since the beginning of AD (death of Christ.) Different bible scholars have shared various exegesis and eisegesis on the intention of Christ when he stated this very high and obviously impossible standard of righteousness in what is today known as the Sermon on the Mount.
Mention this verse to any Christian and they will be quick to tell you their pastor's explanation which of course they hold as the only divine interpretation.lol That said, most pastors will tell you it is a figurative expression to ridicule the Jewish audience who pride themselves in their acts of self-righteousness. Christ apparently knowing that no one could ever live up to this standard of righteousness, yet declaring it to be the only standard of righteousness that is admissible in heaven. This supposedly is to make one rely on the provision of Grace which is accessible only through Christ. Grace making one assume the Righteousness of God through Christ.
However, it is ironic that they do not consider the other portions of the same chapter figurative. How convenient. I believe it is as straight forward as it is. Christ was not being figurative but as literal as it is.
Now to answer the question if the bible was referring to the human body and not the soul. I believe this is apparent. This verse refers to the human physical body. But while considering this as a high standard expected of the body, don't forget to also put into consideration the expectation of the soul and the spirit.lol The bible does make it clear, that a person has to be perfect in body, spirit and soul.
"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23
The irony once again is that the same bible that says you are the Righteousness of God through the Grace of Christ, still expects you to be perfect in body, soul and spirit before the coming of Christ. Which is why I say the bible is self-contradictory in so many ways.
I rest my case hoping to learn from the opinions of others.
(1) You are a confirmed CLOWN for saying a book is complicated yet at the same time picking those who don't understand what is complicated claiming some are going on well with the complications!
(2) This discussion is based on the so called complicated book but your friend whom you said got the understanding of the complicated book is pointing accusing finger at fellow admirers of a complicated book!
But for your information Sir there are over 8.7 million people from different race on this planet who have formed one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers due to the study of this same complicated book, and the other book that you claimed is NOT complicated have failed to produce something of that nature!
Like i said early, you either have a low IQ or a compulsive lying disorder. Never have I said the bible is complicated. It is quite an easy book to understand, once you are able to devote your time to study it.
On the contrary, I have continuously emphasised on it's inconsistensies and contradictions which notable bible scholars have also affirmed.
You need to be more "Christian" in the fruits you're bearing becausei don't recall lying being a fruit of the spirit. But then again maybe lying is a fruit in JW.
Localemperor: Its is no longer news that I have been declared insolvent. After all effort to maintain my liquidity level to no avail I decide to let her go.
Just as organization retrenched worker during periods of economic downturn in order to cut cost of operations, I sent her a massage expressing my regret and reasons.
I feed her I pay money for hair dressing I buy clothes I take her out every weekend I buy shoes I do everything thinkable
She works and earns but I still wonder why she would want me to do everything for her. I compiled my income statement and statement of financial position for the first quarter and found out that expenditures have exceeded income and debt is on the rise.
So I wholeheartedly declared my self insolvent yesterday and decided to cut cost in order to protect my goodwill.
Sirnuel: I don't think its right to tag everyone with a different political opinion than yours as Enemy of the state. If this country beta, na all of us go enjoy am. Every serious president & vice the world over are doing everything in their power to reassure their citizens that they have things under control. but here, Both the president and his vice are no where to be found, A new COS was appointed and rumours were already spreading even before official confirmation.
Now be truthful to yourself, is this how a country is supposed to be??
You sound like a newby in politics. Opposition is opposition because of it's responsibility to fault the incumbent. Whether it is productive or counterproductive is not the issue here.
So labelling opposition as Enemy of State is just stating the political obvious, nothing else.
Maximus69: Janosky my brother, Myer is the funniest clown of them all!
He declared the Bible is full of contradictions and complicated, yet he wants to define the people accurately reflecting what is complicating!
Am I funny for stating the obvious? Do I amuse you because I'm at liberty to say what you don't have the effrontry to say because of your religious affiliation?
If the bible is not full of contradictions and inconsistencies why are we even having this discussions on this thread? Why are there innumerable denominations and factions in the Christian fold when all claim to believe in the same God, Jesus Christ and the same bible.
No sir, if anyone is funny here, it should be you and other Christians who can't even exhibit the liberty the same bible has given you to acknowledge the discrepancies, contradictions and inconsistencies in the bible all because it is supposedly a sacred and holy book. Ironically you don;t have a problem faulting the Torah and the Koran.
Janosky: John 17:22, the same glory Jesus gave his disciples... So his disciples are Deity.. ALL of them share am.... Freshboi know NOTHING !!!! Jesus Christ done confirm Say Freshboi know NOTHING !!!!
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."
The glory Yahweh gave Jesus, he gave to his disciples, according to Freshboi GIBBERISH , therefore "Jesus disciples are Deity.
I understand the scriptures you have quoted. What I don't understand is how you are the glory of God. You who have no likeness of God or Christ for that matter. Fruit of the spirit, you're lacking. Healing power, you're lacking. Even wisdom, you're lacking.
Maybe your conversion is questionable or somebody lied.
Omooba77: Centurion built Synagogue. Cornelius was a devouted man.. Acts 10: 2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. Dorcas was a giver
You should hide your ignorance some more, it's becoming embarrassing. You simply quote what your prosperity pastors swindle you with.
They managed to brainwash you to believe that Good healed the centurion's servant because he built the synagogue right? When Christ himself said it was simply his exceptiona faith that healed him. And that's why you're also sowing seed into your pastor's life and every building project of the church right? Kontinu
With Cornelius and Dorcas, was it their tithes or good deeds? Don't twist the bible sir.
Nodogragra4me: You don't deserve a response ... Go and read your book and Bible or better still read the comments and rejoinders here , it may help you even better .,you abolished something without saying something...are you are not as good as been called a mad man .. Read Matt 23:23 aloud in basic English version
Let me entertain your ignorance some more. What do yo think is the difference between the old testament and the new testament?
So you can now determine which of the groups has been consistent when the book in itself is filled with so many inconsistencies and contradictions which has led to the explosion in different translations eisegesis and denominations!
You're welcome!
Do you know that JW is more likely to be considered a Jewish organisation than a Christian organisation? Because you hold the old testament laws more rigidly than the liberty promised in the new testament. Even the Holy Spirit that differentiates the New testament from the Old, is just a force to you and not a manifestation of God.
You are not even allowed to drink the holy communion which Christ commanded everyone to partake in rememberamce of him.
You're either very low in IQ or you have just been brainwashed. I really wamt to believe it's the latter.
Nodogragra4me: Show us where it is written in the new testament that tithe was abolished ... Just a single verse to support your statement
It's rather ignorance that would make you expect a verbatim verse that says tithe is abolished. I could as well ask you to show me a single verse in the new testament that says tithe is not abolished? But that would make us both ignorant.
Wisdom would make you understand that it was abolished with the laws of old testament. Hebrews 7 especially sheds more light on the abolishment of the law of tithes.
LegalIcon: Mine was on August 1, 2015. I was traveling from Ilorin to Oyo town to see the parents of my ex then. I was driving and I had a friend also seated beside me on the front seat beside the driver. I wanted to stylishly convey my serious intention to her parents, so I bought different kinds of fruits and wrapped them like engagement items and kept them inside the boot.
Mind you I was supposed to attend a vigil on the eve of that day (Friday, 31st July), but I chose not too, because I would be traveling the following morning.
So, on getting to Alata area, before Deeper Life Camp (on the Ilorin-Ogbomosho expressway), I was not really overspeeding, but my car suddenly started swerving. By that time, I had lost control of the wheels, so, the car was just swerving on the road while on speed. My friend kept calling me and asking me about what was going on, and suddenly, the car hit one of these road dividers made of concrete and then summersaulted thrice and then faced the direction I was coming from (Ilorin). Now, the last thing I still remember was that when the car hit the road divider. I was GONE! It was as if there was a total blackout.
This was around 12pm. I remember seeing myself in a place where I met an old man. The old man asked me what I was doing there, I didn't utter a word. So, he told me to go back to where I was coming from, that I had not even done the work he gave me. At that time, I started hearing faintly the cry of people, and then after about 3 to 4 hours, I opened my eyes and I saw about four Doctors and Nurses doing suitures on my head and ear. I had memory loss and was just looking at everyone in the Theater. After some time, I asked where I was and I was told Lautech Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso. I then began to ask them what had happened. They tried to ask me information about my family but I remembered none until after about an hour again.
I then saw my friend who by God's grace didn't sustain any serious injury. He then narrated the story: After my car (Honda bulldog) summersaulted thrice and stopped, the car bonnet flew to the other devide of the expressway. The car became a write off and to bring me out was a task. While my friend was brought out through the side window, the people who rushed to the scene had to use Cutlass and some metals to further break the car into pieces and then brought out my dead body. People were already wailing when a Pastor driving in his church bus offered to carry my body and my friend to the Teaching Hospital. As the man was driving, he was crying and praying that God should prove himself. That was on Saturday.
On Monday, my elder sister was returning from Lagos and when she got to the spot where the accident occurred, the driver of the commercial bus she boarded was showing the passengers that that was where a serious accident occurred on Saturday and a young guy died. Then, my sister told the guy that the guy came back to life, but the guy disbelieved. When it became an argument, my elder sister called me and I spoke to her while in the commercial bus. Could you believe that nothing happened to the fruits in the booth, including the wine I bought? Funningly too, myself and the girl didn't eventually marry.
WHAT CAN GOD NOT Do? Pls, share your own experience of God's Miracles and wonderful Acts. PLEASE, Let this testimony make the from page (to the glory of God) abeg!
What would have been a miracle is that the car and the fruits were totalld while you and your friends escaped unscathed. Having to be rushed to hospital to be treated and spend months on medications before you could be healed is normal. Your testimony has happened to several unbelievers too bro.
A Miracle is a what defies natural laws. When you have a proof of what defies natural laws and medicine, you can call it a testimony.
Omooba77: Church do not physically open for now; I want to ask Do you still pay your Tithes and Offerings?
To begin with, the new testament abolished tithes. Now you give willingly and as you deem fit.
Second, why do feel feel obligated to pay tithes? Is your church charity oriented? If yes, you can continue to give however you feel necessary. If not, you can direct your giving to the less privileged within your reach.
Pastors will tell you God doesn't recognise your giving outside the church but if you study your bible God recognised the gifts of the Centurion, as well the good deeds of Cornelius and Dorcas. But most pastors won't tell you that because then that would reduce their income.
Maximus69: OK do you now believe that Christianity can be well organized as in having the same line of thought?
Aren't you the same person who has been saying Christianity is complicated and we should accept it that way?
So now you're ready to take sides with some kind of teaching against another in the same Christianity you once said is full of complications!
OK now!
@ bolded either you have me mistaken for someone else, or you have a compulsive lying disorder. What I've always told you is that the bible has so many inconsistencies and contradictions which has led to the explosion in different translations, eisegesis and denominations.
So stop misleading people. Your own case is even pathetic because your JW organization has conveniently managed to brainwash you that miracles ended in the bible and no longer practical in reality since they were only for signs and not needed anymore. So I believe you need more help than a clinically diagnosed mental case.
GamalNasser: Stop lying most of the cities where mortality is high have restrictions on the use of chloroquine .. Even Bauchi State behind you here is using chloroquine and till date they have zero death and 100 percent recovery including the governor yet you want to argue .
I can't confirm other countries but I know FDA approved Hydroxylchloroquin for emergency cases. Meaning they must have administered it for the terminal patients. Yet it isn't working. Like I said, it's just common sense. When there is a cure, we will all know because the death tolls would start decreasing in the epicenters.
Maximus69: It's not difficult and there is no need for unnecessary arguments, Jesus asked his followers to go out for preaching and teaching in their neighbourhood, so go out there and start preaching and teaching those in your neighbourhood what you know about Jesus. No wahala!
Is that what you do? Mislead people? Jesus said you should be witnesses of him. Not rumor mongers. Meaning whatever you have not experienced you should not be preaching.
He simply pointed out a flaw in the scriptures and instead of you to acknowledge you don't have the explanation , you just went ahead to prove you're simply preaching what you don;t understand.
If you don't have an answer, keep quiet and learn from others who do.
GamalNasser: One Kobojunkie and his fellow CNN puppets will not like this ,... Chloroquine and Artemisinin have consistently delivered a 99% cure rate and just yesterday an study showed chloroquine could even act as a very reliable prophylaxy by preventing infections in the first place especially for those at the Frontline but yet Satanic agents with an agenda and dull people are waiting for a hurry put together RNA vaccine that will not go through proper trial and is expected to kill 15% of it's users ....is this world not mad so?
Where did you get these statistics from?
Common logic proves your statistics are false. The Covid-19 epicentres have been administering Hydroxychloroquine and Remidisir to their patients yet they still death tolls are increasing in these countries- US, UK, Italy, Spain, etc.
Until the death tolls start decreasing clearly we can't claim there's any cure.
The bible itself is a book of Theology. It is written to explain, unveil and manifest God to man, so you shouldnt be surprised at my theology as we are discussing the scriptures.
The reason my response focused on John was because your first assertion of John the baptist/Jesus portrayed as strangers was premised on John's writing.
John 1:31 - And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest...
That is the central scriptures to our discussion which i have made clear now.
This is same with all the bible writers as i have mentioned earlier, that the verses/passages of the scriptures are summations of events, actions and discussions hence only key elements are written. Also remember as i mentioned that the scriptures has a singular focus and any thing not necessary or add value towards such focus is most times left behind.
Matthew, Mark, Luke all have their style of writing as other writers too. For example if you observe well Gospel of Luke and Book of Acts you will find similarities in literature and style but this is not necessary here. Matthew has its own trademark of using money "talents" etc to explain most parables, this is synonymous to someone with a good knowledge of trade/tax or a tax collector (Matthew was one) in his days.
We can go on and on, but like i said, the focus here is the facts that John baptism is very primary to the scriptures and Jesus and it was mentioned over and over again in the bible (outside the Gospels) for you to know its importance Acts 1:5, Acts 1:22, Acts 10:37, Acts 13:24, Acts 18:25, Acts 19:4, Acts 19:3). So, even if Jesus had ate with John, visited John's house to play scrabble when young or swim together with John growing together, it is of no relevant to the scripture. It can only be relevant if it focuses on Christ redemptive work.
Lol @new one for you.
Firstly, it is abusive to say Apostle Suleiman is ranting, maybe because he expressed his opinion or whatever. I dont know his twitter page nor follow him, but i believe your words on him are out of place.
Secondly, the verses you quoted arent saying anything contradictory, infact it is two statements that fully explain how to handle foolishness.
No contradiction at all.
You're a good bible scholar. You know how to explain scriptures I give you that. But my simple sissue with you is you are not honest in defending the errors in the bible.
I mean for you not to even still defend the glaring contradiction in Proverbs 26:4-5 shows it's pointless.
And it's not entirely your fault. You're simply being religious. The same way a Muslim or a Hindu would be. The thought of there being an error in the "divinely inspired words of God" is unfathomable and unacceptable to you especially having placed your faith and hinged your life on it. So I understand.
At least unlike a Muslim, you're not trying to kill me for pointing out the contradictions and inconsistencies in the holy book. Hallelujah!
