Did you cook for her husband?
If not, I'm sure the wife is even glad you did not stress her to cook for you.

recievesense:
Just walk into a UBA branch and ask to see their Resident Auditor. Your matter will receive adult attention.

Banks don't have resident auditor sir.

AbarisFather:
And that's true.... They're into idolatry kind of stuff,
My dad is a Catholic and he does that too.

Yea.
Theres no denying that the Catholic church has mixed alot with the church.

But does that make it less than a Christian church when they still worship God and Jesus Christ. And preach the same bible?

SSIPON:
If mankind is born with sin into the world, does that mean that babies that die shortly after birth are going to hell? They didn't even have a chance to accept Jesus or something. So are they going to hell or will God "recycle"/reincarnate them when they die?

Lol simple question.

Dtruthspeaker:
In other words Anti-God's are Law Breakers, Criminals having No Respect For Law, Natural Justice, Equity and Fairness.

Exactly as Satan.

Which is why I have Always Said. that all atheists are Anti-Law (for the Law is God Also) and therefore full time Satanist and Evil souls.

Criminals, every one of them.

WHICH IS THE REASON THEY HATE GOD, EXACTLY AS ALL CRIMINALS HATE THE LAW!

Thanks for your confession of Satanist/Atheist Creed!

There you go, lacking cognitive strength as usual.

"They are not sworn to abide by any rule" does not translate to "they are lawless."

Most atheists are more lawful than most Christians.
They just don't need to be scared by religious leaders that they are going to hell if they dont follow their rules.

They actually obey established authorities cos that is verifiable and by logic we all know the law is meant to maintain order.

On the contrary, some Christians who believe in hyper grace are even the ones you should be more worried about because they believe Jesus has already paid for all their sins past present and future.
Even if they rob you or commit any act of crime, they are already forgiven.

So atheists are not your problem, your primary problem is for Christians to first and foremost agree on what the bible teaches.

wordapostle:
God bless you Sir. This grace gospel has been taken out contest by some pastors and members.

While I get the pastor's point.
It is however not madness to tap into another person's grace. In fact it is biblical.

Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Jacob enjoyed the grace of God on Abraham.
Laban enjoyed the grace of God on Jacob.
Egypt enjoyed the grace of God on Joseph.
We are all enjoying the grace of God on Jesus Christ.

The pastor's point is valid especially as a Christian. That no one owns grace except God and we all enjoy it through Jesus Christ.

So why tap from a receiver when you can tap directly from the source?

izzy4shizzy:
If you probably concentrated on what took you to the church, you probably would not have had time to notice rings at people's feet.

How I see it, Christianity is your relationship with God, not you other christians and God

This is the Christianese way of responding to this.

But you know the actual truth.

No matter how the spirit take hold you,the human brain/mind is wired to notice anything out of the ordinary and OP simply observed something out of the ordinary.

Even you will definitely notice when someone not properly dressed is around you. (Even though we tare not meant to judge them)

Are you telling me now that your pastor is not distracted by ladies who wear skimpy dresses to church?

My church actually makes sure the ushers reserve the first 2 rows for those who are properly dressed to avoid stories that touch.

Rydermaverick:
With me abeg..I support that gal comment..

Confam.
Only 3 of us.

Amotolongbo:
Everyone has his or her own reason for doing anything done.

It may not be connected to that you said.

Moreover, the fact that it is strange to you doesn’t portray evil. Stop demonising other people’s way.

Na only you and me get sense for NL.

sirp9898:
I wish my igbos brothers and sisters will be able to lgnore peoples of the type of this op never to give them atentions again

As much as I don't support the OP, even you yourself know that Igbos are worse.
The average Igbo disparages every other tribe and ethnic group in Nigeria.

So yall deserve whatever anyone dishes out on you.

KoladeChris24:
I have this girl who is the only one I love, but she said she can never attend catholic church.

I told her it's not an issue - that as my wife, she's free to attend any church she likes, but she insisted our family would have to attend the same church.

She won't marry me if i stick to my Catholic faith. Please advise me, she's the only one I love, and I can't start over anymore.

Which denomination does she attend.

Usually non-Catholics believe Catholic Church is into idolatry. So I guess that's her fear.

Iyaebe:
Truly I see atheists as people suffering from some syndromes.How many atheists own it boldly outside, most of them hides and only bold online because they don't want to be seen as mentally challenged.

There was a time Christians did not dare to mention their faith publicly out of fear of being persecuted.

Even till date in certain parts of the world, where Christianity is still a minority, Christians don't declare their faith publicly.

Don't you think those Christians are mentally challenged?

Your limited and myopic view is understandable. Hopefully one day you'll leave your village and be exposed.

Dtruthspeaker:
But you do not say this to the atheists here when they come against others who believe God and bible.

Atheists are not sworn to abide by any rules to make heaven. Christians and Muslims are.

As a Muslim or Christian, you should practise what you preach.

MaxInDHouse:
Anybody can refute anything since each person has his/her own line of thought. That is what gives room for continuous learning with no evidence of accurate knowledge {2Timothy 3:7} as each person will come up with his/her own arguments {1Timothy 6:4; Titus 3:9} that's how the churches kept doing until there emerged over 41,000 different religions all claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines! Luke 11:23

So instead of refuting what a group teaches with arguments based on letters found in the Bible why not ask for the group that got things right? The letters can be rephrased to soothe anyone's opinion but the spirit of God (that doesn't give room for confusion) will only work with the group that's doing the right thing! 2Corinthians 3:6

Please instead of going about with arguments against all the religions around why not focus on finding the group that's practicing pure worship so that you can be assured that you've found the truth?
If you call a Catholic, Anglican, Apostolic, CAC, RCCG, MFM, Winner, Chosen, Christ Embassy, Cele, C&S, Jehovah's Witnesses, ECWA, Four Square and Muslim to start arguing on letters found in the Bible each will continue to argue in support of the viewpoint of what they were taught as interpretations of those letters. But when you ask for the group in whose midst there is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS, and SELF-CONTROL, that's when most argumentators will become uncomfortable because we all know that against a group of imperfect humans exhibiting these qualities there is nothing worthwhile anybody have to say! Galatians 5:22-23

So my advice to you is find out the group of people that's practicing what God wants then compare to your own viewpoint of those letters otherwise you will always find people who will continue to argue yet there is nothing to show for their fruitless arguments!

Even God seems to have refuted "Jehovah's witness organisation".

I've never met a successful JW. Mention one except the founder.

Also when you go to a JW fellowship all you hear is how they are being persecuted. Because they are just too stubborn. And we know stubbornness is a sin as witchcraft. 1 Sam 15:23

Persecution is their pride.
Your founder obviously has brainwashed you with his misinterpretation of Persecution.
Yes true Christians experience Persecution in the name of Christ.
But it's not every Persecution that makes you a Christian. Otherwise even criminals are being persecuted, does that make them Christians?
When you disobey the laws of any land, you will be persecuted.
And we know that God instituted authorities in every Land.

The actual refuting is not that you don't preach the Bible,it is your misinsterpretation of the Bible.

For starters you have your own adulterated version of the Bible. Which you impose on your members.

You have also managed to completely blot out every part of the new testament that speaks on the works of the Holyspirit.

Jesus Christ whom you serve taught that he would pray the father to send the Holyspirit and he highlighted the works of the Holyspirit. Also the apostles. But all these you have denied as you claim that spiritual gifts have expired.

I wish I could slap you to reality but as long as you worship there you will be blinded by the brainwashing.
And the worst part is the psychological effect of not wanting to risk losing everything you have worked for. So you keep deceiving yourself even when you know the truth that most of JW teachings are wrong.

HeadNigga:
In this country, prisoners are the real leaders of tomorrow so they get "preferential" treatment.

In Nigeria apparently, it pays to be a criminal.
Most, if not all, of our politicuans are all criminals.

LordReed:
This question is for the theists who say everything has a cause and also believe they have free will. Can you explain how everything having a cause does not lead to determinism, a situation where everything is already determined by what came before it. As opposed to your belief that we have freewill. How can we have freewill if whatever we do had a cause and that cause also had a cause which also had a cause and so on?

Modifying the OP with some clarifications to help understand the question better:

So another way to put the question will be how do you know your will is not being affected by the chain of events that led to your existence?

You probably have particular foods you like eating and when faced with a choice would more likely pick them over other foods. To you you are freely making that choice however my question is asking, if your ability to choose is part of a causal chain you had no hand in bringing about how do you know you are freely choosing those foods? How do you know that your predilection for those foods is not a result of the causal chain? How do you know that your choice at any given moment was not influenced by the causal chain of events that brought about the situation in which you find yourself having to make a choice?

Do you disagree that man has freewill?
Cos that rather seems obvious.
Yes we are all products of cause and effect.
Creation happened and now we are all here.
Our parents copulated and produced us.
The choices of those who raised us (our parents or guardians) together with ours shapes us to a certain age. After which we become the masters of our own universe.
From a certain age, you certainly hold the power of your own choices and invariably your own cause.
The effect of which are often unpredictable.

Freewill does not mean you're immune from a cause. There's no ultimate immunity from cause.

Freewill simply means that you have the power and prerogative to make your own choice.

You're faced with two or more options, you have the power to decide which option to choose.
That is what I believe Freewill is.

haddeylium:
This God's name Jehovah appear originally more than 7,000 times in the bible. It's so sad that Man (not God) has removed and substituted God's name with mere titles like LORD and God (in some bible translations).
Note: Title is different from a personal Name.
Buhari is not the same as President.



Most answers claim that the reason is because “Jehovah” is not the correct pronunciation of God’s name in Old Hebrew. But that does not explain why Yahweh —or whatever the correct pronunciation is supposed to be— is not in most bibles either.
So, I’d say that that is not the reason.

Another , some considered that God’s personal name was too sacred to be pronounced out of respect for Judaism superstitious belief , of whom Jesus said: “You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition.”—Matt. 15:6
This is baseless as well.


it's impossible that we'll be in close relationship with a friend that we don't know his personal name. God is not nameless, his titles are not his name. He has a real personal name.

Ex. 3:15: “God said . . . to Moses: ‘This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, “Jehovah the God of your forefathers . . . has sent me to you.” This is my name to time indefinite, and this is the memorial of me to generation after generation

Psalm 83:18(KJV)
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

Conclusively, the central part of Jesus assignment on Earth is to make this God's name known.(Read John 7:26).
Is God's name as important to you as it is to Jesus?

Having a close relationship with God involve getting to know him by name

I guess you're Jehovah's witness.
Anyways, names are important.

Yorubas have a saying that "tori omo le daran la se sanwon loruko"
Meaning it's be cause a child can cause trouble that we give children names.

Though I believe more importantly it's because a child can be a blessing and a legend that we give the names.

The name of a person is their identity. It may be unique or not. But most importantly it identifies the person from a crowd.

This said, the matter of discourse being why the name Jehovah is not mentioned in modern versions of the bible is truly a matter of concern.
But more important is to understand why.

Jehovah is not the original God's name.
YHWH is the name God revealed to the Israelites,and Moses specifically.
YHWH which to the Jews is a name that shouldn't even be mentioned because it is too sacred, simply can be interpreted as I AM THAT I AM.

ELOHIM, YHWH, JEHOVAH, ADONAI, etc are various names the same God is identified by, within the bible.

The present day bible simply gives us the English interpretation and acceptable version of Jehovah/YHWH which is LORD.

The more pertinent question ergo is;

Does calling God by YHWH, JEHOVAH, LORD, ADONAI, etc determine ones answered prayers?

OBALOLA55:
BUT YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST BECAUSE HE DID NOT SAY YOU SHOULD WORSHIP HIM.


WORSHIP GOD ALONE AND OBEY HIS PROPHETS THAT WAS CHRIST MESSAGE WHILE ON EARTH.

Revelations 22:8-9
Now I, John, 3saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, sI fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9 Then he said to me, t“See that you do not do that. 4For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

jantman:
Myer

A blind man was taken out to feel the heat of the sun. He was asked what he thinks about the heat from the sun.

He replied with, there is nothing like the sun. The heat I currently feels is only putruding out of my body.

I compare you and your above write up to that of the blind man.

Wow. Did you come up with that all by yourself?
You need to get some rest, cos you're certainly over working your miniature brain.

First whether the blind man can see the sun or not, everyone else can.
The sun is not an ideology but a physically observable entity.

Second I never said God doesnt exist that's a deviation you made up all in your tiny little head.
Your extreme lack of comprehension is a scientific marvel that would make even an atheist believe in God.

This post only points at mistakes recorded in the bible
The least you can do is agree or disagree with your counterpoint. That's what a reasonable person would do. But then you only proved how unreasonable.you really are..

It would be remiss of me to leave you in the same primate state as you came so here's a quick advice. Next time you have nothing reasonable to contribute on a thread, just keep it moving. Capisce?

ChiefSosa:
Will smith is a fvcking moron_that deserves no pity, and I say this with all love.
Someone like Jada should be thanking God everyday that Will smith even knows she exists. This is WILL SMITH we are talking about; one of the best black actors of our lifetime. Someone that attained godlike positions, especially during his 'Men in Black' days. The reason people talk about Jada is cause of will. I'm seriously baffled that someone like Will smith will be going through this, especially in the hands of Jada. Someone like will smith should be hanging around super exclusive females. Jada is really making will smith look like a complete fool. Jada really belongs to the streets.
The only way I'll believe Will smith is taking all her nonsense is if he didn't sign a Prenup and he's afraid Jada will take all he's money and assets.

Lol. That's not love bro, that's pure and undiluted stupidity. Jada is someone that use to sell drugs and hang around guys like 2PAC. Will picked her up, helped her get her life together and even married her. Rather than being eternally grateful and behaving herself, she still went ahead to have sexual relationships that lasted for months with a guy that is old enough to be her son. Imagine! This is Will smith she's treating like this o. Or has she confused Will smith with Speed Darlington?.

Honestly jazz no be only for 9ja. Jada should be selling Kayamata cos wetin she give Will chop strong gan.

Stephen0mozzy:


The answer is simple: Curse causeless shall not stand. If the sun grows up to be a terrible, ill-mannered person, He'll receive beating too.

By our actions do we emancipate our selves from the shackles of coincidental ideologies

Our actions you say?
Is it not the curse that direct the actions of a cursed person?

SmellySperm:
Can't manage none. I'm not a manager

I think body odour is easiest to manage.
Na money for better perfume e go just chop.

Cos how do you enjoy passionate kisses with someone with mouth odour?
Even for your wedding you go dey dread the words You may Kiss your bride/groom.lol

And how can you sleep especially after stressful days when theres a heavy snoring beside you?
Snoring get levels oh.

Cheapgadget:
Because she knows how far, stupid cvnt

You should be careful how you judge others cos karma is a "beach."

She is too big to post release a sex tape to promote her music. (!But then again you can never completely trust anyone, not even yourself).

But instead of concluding that she released the sex tape, why not also consider the other possibility that she is presently a victim of blackmail? And she is facing a difficult time.
Having invested a lot to get Brandy on Somebody's son. Arguably her biggest hit till date, she is also embattled with dealing with a blackmailer??

As a lady, instead of critiquing her and invariably taking sides with the blackmailer, you should rather give her the benefit of doubt and support her while critiquing the blackmailer instead.

Leboska:
Spiritual fans! Simply put, your mama dash you money & gift.

I think BB actually makes fan clubs mandatory now (off the record obviously).
So it could really be her fans. Or actually some top politician(s) interested in her skills in the house (of course you know what i mean).

BigCowH0rn:


I love your imagination.

Those planets can live on for billions of years.
The world was not created to end itself but man's evil will end it or force God to do so.
if you look around you right now nature is already going out of control fast... but only on earth not on planet Mars or Mercury.

Make no mistake, a time will come when nature will be altered enough to wipe out all life forms on earth...'again'.
Don't be surprised. We are only beginning to discover that there was a time huge creatures roamed the earth like men do today. We call those creatures dinosaurs.
Something wiped them off the surface of the earth and it wasn't magic.

It's your confidence in spewing what you're completely clueless about, for me.

You actually typed the bolded?
Even when you have no clue about what you'll eat tomorrow but you happen to know that nature will wipe out all of life?

Just because you were brainwashed with this growing up. And your pastor keep reiterating it every sunday doesnt make it true.

You met nature here and we will all leave nature here.
Meaning nature will outlive us all.

Even Nuclear weapons will only destroy the world temporarily, after some time there will be a re-birth. Nature will do what it does best... Survive by creating life again.

I'm not an evolutionist but we can agree that while we are here, various histories have tried to explain existence and told us the times life/earth was destroyed.

The bible makes mention of the time of Noah.
Scientists make mention of the time of the dinosaurs.
Other forms of mythology have their own histories too.

But guess what, all of the speculators were not there when life/nature/earth was supposedly destroyed.
And none of them is alive today.

Nature/Earth outlives us all.
So do not speak with certainty of what you know nothing about.
You can only speak either with faith or with speculation but do not speak with authority and certainty. That alone is wrong.

peggywebbs:
I think you are wrong. I have read their satanic bible, at least some part of it and they really worship Satan. There are also Satanists who have confessed to doing certain spiritual practices. I think you need to go deeper in your research. I already did several years ago and yes they worship Satan. You won't find all of their practices on Wikipedia or the likes. You need to go deeper.

You've said it all.

After blatantly naming their organisation church of Satan, she's still doubting that they worship Satan?

Biblically Satan is the father of lies.
Was xxxxtentacion xpecting them to openly declare and air their dirty laundry publicly?
Satan is the best branding manager so you can expect him to branch his church well to attract investors and members.lol

Like you said, it's only by going to worship there that you'll know their intricacies and know truly they worship Satan.

Even in Christianity, you cant understand it's intricacies until you actually worship in a Christian church. Even at that you still wont get the full understanding.

TheGreatOne90:
Let it trend. #ImpeachTheTerroristBuhari

Yes. Let's make this trend on all our Social media platforms.

The House of Reps and Senate have all been bought with armed robber salaries and allowances so they will never raise this motion. But thanks to SM we can shake the govt.

Optimistguy1969:

You've said it all.

Those who are meant to impeach him are already in his pocket.
He has bought them all with armed robber salary and allowances.

But that's where the power of SM comes to play.

Let's make this trend all over SM.

#ImpeachBuhariNow

Why is no one talking about the impeachment of Buhari?

This is a Democratic government, we should be calling for the impeachment of this failed government of Buhari now.

Under his administration every thing has gone from bad to worse to worst.

- Cost of goods and services even basic needs have multiplied at least by 3 times before 2015.
Cos of food and foodstuff, cost of petrol, cost of cooking gas continue to increase at exponential rate without corresponding increment in the Minimum wage and salaries of citizens.

- Cost of living in Nigeria has never been this high. As long as cost of goods and services keep increasing inevitably the cost living also increases. To feed comfortably and sustain your family is not easy.

- Insecurity is at an all time high.
Most parts of the country is ravaged by terrorists, killer herdsmens, agitators, kidnappers and ritualistic.
Some terrorist allegedly even government funded .

- Citizens Are Fed Up
Never in Nigeria's history has the Nigerian spirit been so dampened and depressed. Professionals and Students alike, Youths and Elders alike, Employed and Umemployed, etc We are all frustrated and fed up.
The ENDSARS protest marked the first time the youths expressed their frustrations and held the country to stand still under Buhari's administration.
FG was compelled to make promises to act right including scrapping SARS, Fixing the Education sector,Reducing Politician's salary,etc.
Even though till date Buhari has failed to honor his promises.

- Rise In Ponzi Schemes
The high level of poverty and hopelessness has resorted to an explosion in the number of ponzi schemes in the county whose sole aim is to capitalize on the desperation of Nigerians due to poor economy and promise ridiculous ROI only to cart away subscribers monies with government doing nothing about this.

#ImpeachBuhariNow

Data Science and Data Analytics as well as Machine Learning have become the new hot cake.

Why?

We live in the information age.

Data is unprocessed information.
Information is processed Data.

One who is able to process the avalanche of Data (called Big Data) will be indispensable in this information age.

Every company needs to be able to have a data acquisition platform.
And also understand data trends.
In order to (through Machine learning) make the right decisions or forecasts.

But there is some times the force majure aka God factor.
Which could knock all your Machine Learning and Data analysis to naught.
But absent a force majure the knowledge of Data Science and Analytics is a major field.

E no easy buy it's worth it.

Choice is everything.

Some choices were made for you before you were born. You have no power over those.

Some choices you have to make.
Decision is the process of making your choice.

May we make the best choices in life.
Which is why before making choices, make enquiries from those who have been in your position before you. And whose decision was successful.
Also consider the dynamics of this ever-changimg multiverse.
You have to be sure the choices they made back then can still yield the same result now. In this age of technological advancement.

If you're spiritual and you have successfully understood your connection with God, then pray about it.
