Aunty Mary, I'm a hundred percent sure you understand English better than Dangote but if you do get a job a in Dang's companies, you'll probably give a testimony in church. English isn't directly proportional to exposure o.

BornAgainMay:


With your level of exposure, you dont even kniw idioms? #Ispit#Tufiakwa

Your road be rough doesnt mean, what you think, now carry your exposure and check what it means when somebody tells you *May your road be rough*

Oh! Yes, because Allah is a baby that needs to be fed prayers by Moslem nannies at stipulated times huh?

sojikul:
Thank God I'm a Muslim

Because the match can never distop us from praying at is proper time

Hehe! White House, Airport.

I don't know about hell or no hell but you're correct about the Septuagint. It was the translation of the Hebrew Bible to Greek for the Jews in Alexandria who had forgotten their Hebrew well before the birth of Christ.

DavidEsq:

Hell doesn't exist pls. Even the original bible texts "The septuagint or some name like that", which is the original Greek scriptures (new testament) uses the word "gehenna" and that was a word used for a furnace for burning refuse and other unwanted things, such as the bodies of condemned criminals, diseased corpses, etc. No living thing was ever put there. This furnace was located on the outskirts of Jerusalem at a place called the valley of sinon. Further more Jeremiah 32:35 says ".......in order to make their sons and daughters pass thru the fire.....something that I had not commanded them and that has never come into my heart to do such a detestable thing.....".
This scripture reveals that it has never crossed the mind of God to burn anyone alive, with the intention that such a person survives such burning, as the word "pass thru the fire" suggests.

I knew you would definitely say this which is very much understandable. A non violent Moslem would say the same thing. As I heard from a Moslem cleric sometime ago,"don't judge the religion by the people, judge the people by the religion", he also gave Koranic explanations as to why Islam is a religion if peace. You guys elucidated the same points though expressed in different forms but I want you to know that the time and age at which the crusades happened are no excuse. Right from time has man known the difference between good and bad in his cognition.
FYI, Yat Sun Yen university, China, 2015 successfully modified the DNA of a human embryo despite the fact that we only understand 5% of the information in our DNA yet.
Bonobo, à specie of apes, the chimpanzees and humans have 98.8% DNA similarities. I tolerate every religion and I don't want this to sound blasphemous but in truth, if the Hebrew god did create man in his own image, isn't it just ideal to say that he also is 98.8% similar in DNA structure to some sort of extraordinary or so to speak, heavenly ape?
Religious people around the world believe that the earth is about 6000 years old but scientists have found fossils that dated back to millions of years.
Asides that fact, we know there are skulls and skeletal structures of earlier genuses of Homo.
The kind of spirituality religious people observe is known as the spirituality of the God of the gaps. In ancient Greece, it was believed that the movement of the tides was due to Poseidon's mood, lightening and thunder were affirmation of Zeus's might. It was easy to represent the phenomenon that they didn't understand with gods thus, the God of the gaps.
Christianity has always believed that God placed mankind at the center of the universe, I laugh when I hear this. Really? Ha! He didn't even place man at the center of man's own solar system. The church persecuted Nicolaus Copernicus and killed Galileo Galilee for these discoveries, causing the history of the Illuminati (not the demonic flesh eating and occultic group that the unholy Roman church had portrayed it to be).
The fossils in the Grand Canyon are in layers, if the biblical flood during the time of Noah really happened, the fossils should be mixed due to the fact that drowning animals would try to swim up. Shouldn't they?
If we go to California, we would find the bristlecone pine trees that are 6800 years old, old Tjikko tree is the oldest living tree, 9560 years old. It's in Sweden. If the flood happened, and it did destroy every form of life, why are these trees still living? Besides, how could they be older than creation itself? Or was the earth not dark and void before God said, "let there be light?"
I'm tired of typing sef. I've learnt too much to believe these religious stories and I've left them as what they are, myths.
To be fair, not all scientists don't believe in the existence of God or gods because most people have compartmentalize scientists as atheists.
It doesn't cost me anything to believe in a god but I don't have proof to believing. Like my Moslem friend said, "maybe we should all believe in a God, so that if we die and we eventually discovered that there's no God, we have nothing to lose but if reverse is the case, then we have everything to gain". Well, I would say I'd like to take that risk.

Jonra:
Don't bundle capitalism with missionary work.
The middle ages happened, the crusades happened, and even slave trading. But were these abuses a logical outworking of the Judeo-Christian worldview?

NO! So we can say the perpetrators of those crimes were acting in their own selfish capacity while abusing their belief system (it's still happening today) but I'm not a judge of anybody. I've read Ngugi Thiongos work 'Weep not Child' and it mentions exemplary missionaries in Kenya who spoke an entirely different language from the capitalists and colonial administrators; making assertions like 'All men are equal before God' in agreement with the gospel.

I recommend you read the work of British atheist and journalist Mathew Parris who writes for the times UK

(https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/as-an-atheist-i-truly-believe-africa-needs-god-3xj9bm80h8m)

Do not CARRY God's name in vain is one of the ten commandments. This refers to those who do evil in the name of God. They do more damage to Christianity than the most eloquent atheists. These people will receive their due punishment if unrepentant.

God seeks the hearts you know how, He spoke about the transformation several hundreds of years before Jesus came in Jeremiah 31:33 - "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

Who are these people to be transformed?

"Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham." - Galatians 3:7

"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

And in the new testament... Hebrew 8:10

"This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

God is real. Nietzsche told you he's dead but He's not.
Even objective science reveals his glory and excellence, would you like to hear it?

Or if you want to meet and have your questions answered in Lagos, let me know. Or maybe a Skype session?

Theodore Roosevelt, haha! My best US President. He used Rockefeller, Morgan and all capitalists eyes see pepper but you know how it rolls now.

I concur bro.
I think life existed on other planets and solar systems even before it did on earth. I came across how life was discovered although at its molecular level from a meteorite that fell to earth from space by scientists ob the ancient aliens show. I haven't confirmed it though.

Avedonn:


I just gave you few instances of scientific discoveries that proved that the whole order in our solar system, milky way, galaxy and the entire cosmos evolved not created.

Do you know that the sun is made up of helium and hydrogen gas? This is not just an assumption but a fact.

Do you know the scientists have accurately predicted the impact of asteroid on Jupiter in 1993? This include the hour and minutes of impact and it happens exactly as predicted.

Do you know in 1987 a sun outside our solar system exploded and destroyed all the planets on it's orbit? The explosion was visible to the naked eye for two weeks from the earth.

Do you know Mars once had living things before it's atmosphere was stripped away by solar wind thereby evaporating all the water on it's surface?

Do you know there's probability of life in one of the Saturn's moon called Europa due to the presence of water?

All those things are recent discovery by scientists. But we were told in the bible that trumpet would be blown making the end of the earth.

So my question is, does it mean trumpet was blown in those millions of sun's that underwent nuclear fusion turning into red giants or the planet that its core collapsed turning into a pulsar?

How did the scientists able to predict all this happenings and discoveries?

Take Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune for instance, they were made up of entirely ball of gas without any solid surface. So what's the purpose of creating such giants planets without anything inside? And based on the data the Voyager one sent when it had its first flyby to those planets, the were made up of hydrogen and methane which are the most common elements in space.

Michelangelo Buenarotti (the image of God is the Sistine chapel, the image of God and Adam), Leonardo Da Vinci (the painting of the last supper), Voltaire etc.

Emmahunk:

We're worshipping the gods of the gaps.

ollah2:



The world is full of hypocrites and most of them are the so called religious people based on one faith or another.

Lol. It's quite funny that the same set of people whom Yahweh used to propagate Christianity to our lands were the same people who ripped us of our identities and sold our forefathers as slaves.
Anyway, that's not where I'm going. If you think the gods of my forefathers lost the battle against the Hebrew god, then why are their so many people perpetrating evil in Yahweh's name?
Are you saying Yahweh is only concerned about converting heads, not hearts? Cause I'm very sure the percentage of the devout, not the humanistic "devout", the devout, as the Bible portrays it is very little compared to what we and Yahweh see. Not that I believe there's a Yahweh anyway, that's just an illustration.

Jonra:
Have you at least tried to understand?

What happened with the gods of your forefathers, why didn't they win their fight against God?

If you believe in the idea of moral progress, there are reasons to ask questions of your forefathers.

"Come near to God and He'll come near to you..." - James 4:8

I'm not sure Solomon consummated with children but hell yeah, he was a badass polygamist and there we go, religious people are always trying to justify the loopholes in their religions by blaming others'. It's just like Christians screaming Boko Haram this, Boko Haram that but are secretly smiling when they read of the Isreali-Gaza attacks. They call Osama Bin Laden several names and say their god brought him to justice but refuse to talk about the Ku Klux Khan or the havoc caused by the Holy crusaders and the church.

ollah2:



It's all fictitious. Men before Muhammed did exact same thing e.g. Solomon. But it's all scripted

Brilliant. For me, I think if I would believe in a god, it should be the gods of my fore fathers. The traditional gods of my culture, not these Asian, Middle Eastern gods and religions that I don't even understand fully.

alabo1:


Well said bro. Religion never ceases to amuse me. I find it funny that adherents of one religion take their myths as reality and are perplexed that non-believers do not. All religions are constructs of man and none of the myths of any religion are superior to the other. For me the tales in the bible are no different from my traditional mythology. Peace

Jubayr ibn Mut'im was the man who Abu Bakr initially gave Aisha's hands to in marriage before Mohammed came along. Both Jubayr ibn Mut'im and Abu Bakr were Islamic converts but this, alongside Aisha's unsuccessful war; the battle of the camel which was in revenge of Uthman's assassination; doesn't justify the fact that Mohammed's marriage with young Aisha was a paedeophilic act. Well, one would say child marriage was a common thing during the old world but then it struck me that someone as supposedly, spiritually connected with a higher power as Mohammed should know better. It was either Allah supported paedeophilia or Mohammed didn't have a spiritual encounter after all and most of all these spiritual brouhaha are just fictitious.

She was ready engaged to a pagan before his father Abubaker called off the engagement when he converted to Islam and gave her Muhammed her daughter. She also went to war. When you write, ensure you don't write half truth

Césare Borgia, thé son of pope Alexandria VI, the Spaniard? No, I think the image of Christ had existed before the council of nicea. I'm not sure of Leonardo Da Vinci's but there were other artists,renowed or not that had drawn or probably sculpted the image of Christ even before Rodrigo Borgia was born in the 1400s.

stefanbanach:
empty head, the Catholic created the fictional character called jesus Christ in the council of nicea.... Using the image of cesare borgia as the image of Christ....

Go to Google and type "the nicean creed" OR "cesare borgia".. ..

He did bro. The majority of traditional Hadith sources state that Ai'sha bint Abu Bakr got married to Muhammad at the age of six or seven, but she stayed in her parents' home until the age of nine, or ten according to Ibn Hisham. She was born in Mecca, Hejaz, Arabia in 613/614 CE and got married and consumated with Mohammed who was 53 years old then in 620 CE. She was married to Mohammed for 12 years before he died in 632 CE.

Almunjid:

Muhammad did not sleep with a six years old girl

Well, I would say you just make your point. Swear words aren't really necessary. I agree with you though, we are only either serving the gods of our parents or the gods of our environment. Religion is the greatest brainwash and it starts from childhood, engineered by those closest to us; our family. If all of us commenting on this thread were born in Nepal, I bet most of us would be practice Hinduism.

lol before nko? I could call God whatever I want and still get away with it... yeah screw that sky motherfvcker,,,, yea I said it... and I would probably woo and fvcck that sexy biitch virgin mary to give Jesus Christ a younger brother if I ever met her.
I think Myths should be taught as myths.. Miracle should be taught as Poetry and reality should be taught as reality...
but teaching myths and miracle as reality to a child?? that child would learn to believe, put their hope and trust in them instead of facing the actual reality.. and in the end he would be shattered into pieces when he finally realize everything he had believed in all his life was just a made up story and a big lie...

Of course we were created in God's own image, that's why humans, bonobos, a specie of apes and chimpanzees have 98.8% DNA resemblance.
Wait sef, I thought only the Hebrew God could create beings, well, in 2015, at Yat sun yen university, China, scientists have been able to modify the DNA of an embryo. This is the awakening of designer babies bro. Only 5% of the human DNA has been deciphered and look at what we humans have achieved. The only God is in our minds, there's no evidence of the god or gods of the gaps.
I might be non theist but at least I have tolerance for all world's religions. At least the Philippines president wasn't hypocritical, he gave out a piece of his mind. He didn't cower in iniquity like most of y'all do yet come to announce how godly he is just so the public could see him as that. (

femipraiz:
It only shows how shallow he is in his reasoning.

Don't forget the fact that we are created in the image of God, which gives us the grace to choose between right and wrong.

God won't impose anything on us... He has given us the grace to choose between life and death but he ADVISED us to choose Life...

God is principled and won't break his word..At the garden of Eden, He gave man the grace to choose between life and death which stands has the tree of life which Adam and Eve were instructed not to eat from...

Don't forget the prodigal Son in the bible that despite all the great resources he had with his Father, he still decided to go the other way by demanding for his inheritance and with that he went totally astray...

You should report them to the NSE.

Draone:
What is wrong with unity bank? If you write to them demanding for release of your share certificate that you purchased with your hard earned money, they will keep on twisting you. There are not fair to shareholders. typical example is me. I am warming up to drag them to court for damages. How can some one write an application for over 3 months with remainders and there is no response. Is that a bank or a ministry? I seriouly regreted buying their shares.Thanks

Thanks for the info, OP. I checked on the NSE website earlier today and says the same thing. BTW, do you know of any leading Nigerian stockbrokers that allow a minimum of #100 to start stock investment you could recommend? I came across some earlier but I wasn't satisfied. It was either I didn't have enough capital to invest with them or I wasn't satisfied with their services.
