I think the Nigerian software development will evolve like NollyWood movies. The good ones will thrive, the bad ones will dies a natural death. However, there will be some kind reward for hardwork and innovation (either financial or verbal recognition).

The bible has made us to understand that prophets are equally addressed as spirits

1 John 4:1
New International Version
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Please the Bible doesnt call Prophets Spirits. Stop misinterpretation. It is written in PLAIN ENGLISH.
That scripture means test the Spirit behind the Prophet.

It should have said:
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets spirits have gone out into the world.

So why use Prophet and Spirit together?

But lets assume your argument is true, so Imams and Pastors of today should also be called Spirits.
So we have, Spirit Chris Oyakhilome, Spirit E. Adeboye, Spirit Muhammed and Spirit Isa. How can I forget our own Vice President Elect, Spirit Osinbanjo. Oh Please!

Sorry dude, I didn't really mean to call you personally dumb. I was referring to the very dumb prelediction of Africans, late comers, late victims of religious social engineering, to wax eloquent about myths that had been sold to them as part of a social engineering scheme that ensured their slavery and mental subjugation .
I am also referring to how dumb it is to latch onto myths for which the witnesses and originators have since relegated to the realms of myths.

Apology accepted.

Religion, Corporate policy, National Constitution, Law and Order does have a way of putting citizens or followers under control.
For instance, a lot of folks take a lot of ill treatment on their job because of fear of loss. or Just like an woman suffering abuse from a man in the name of love.
My point: There are other stuff (as mentioned above) that can be use to put a man under mental slavery. Does this make them obsolete or clueless?

As for Christians, it is this mental slavery that some Pastors today ride on to deceive followers. If Christians would read their bible! There are a lot of widely held Christian beliefs or doctrines I (personally) do not adhere to. Why? Cos they are not biblical.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" - Hosea 4:6 or My people are ruined because they are ignorant.

I have never seen Jews, the real witnesses to the events of first century Palestine, argue about whether the bible said this crap or said that crap.
How come?
Are they the dumb ones, or African bible thumpers like you the dumb ones?
If Jews are not into this Jesus bullshyte, then why are you? Do you know something that they don't know?
Think about it.

First off:
Refering to the bolded: Don't call me dumb cos you surely aren't smarter than I am. I never insulted you. I relate with mature minds (unfortunately I was wrong). There is something called Decorum.

Secondly:
There are Christian Jews... so yes, some Jews do believe in Jesus.

MizJanet:
Eeyah, sorry

Its okay. I forgive ya.

plaetton:
How many Christians actually read the bible?

I dont know but I can say I do for myself.

plaetton:
This funny.
When it suites them, they say you should study the bible , and not just read it.
Then when it suites them they say you should not study the bible like you study books like Shakespeare. That must invoke holy spiri mumbo wumbo jumbo first, in order to let it guide your understanding.
Bottom line?
The bible is nothing but meaningless mumbo jumbo.
The[b] black man's[/b] addiction to this mumbo jumbo is what really portends big trouble for the future.

Ok. Thanks for your personal analysis. Doesnt really change much in the real World now does it?

Finally, the black man has nothing to do with it. The Bible is a global book and is available in many languages. Your PERSONAL point should apply to all races.

MizJanet:
U min the edited book , coz ur brother above me confess that they actually mistranslate, the original wording itself is greek not english.

So, Who is ignorant btw me and ur edited version dat says body is put in hell ?

Ordinary commonsense should tell u that a dead BODY is put in the grave, isnt it?

Anyway , thanks for commentin , ur comment displays how cluless religiotards can be

Oh, these religious dropouts who complain about a God they once worshiped fervently. If Christianity didn't work out for you, try Islam or Hindu or better yet Confusion.

Secondly, when it comes to intellect, dont even bother.
My comment was more on English comprehension which is O' Level than Religion but you have decided to put me in the boat of religion (even calling someone there my religious Bro). This shows me how SMART you are. Genius! SMH

misreal:
If a witch goes to her coven by 12am and stays till 3am soaking herself in blood,confronts a pastor who wakes up around 5am and prays till 6am.abeg who go win

Have you seen a witch before cos I havent. You know why? They flee when I pass by. All I need is Psalm 23.

TUNEX89:
Pls my fellow christian in the house i have some question to ask. 1, is it writen in the bible that while praying you must remove your cap as a male ? 2 is it mandatory for someone to close his or her eyes while praying ?

What does it matter?
Have you heard of anyone whom God rejected their prayers for not covering head or closing eyes?
Take a comfortable position to pray. Some pray lying flat or sitting or standing or on top of the mountain. Pray with cap on or off, what does it matter? God is everywhere.

Stuff like this is the focusing on outward appearance that Jesus talked about. So if your eyes are closed and your brain is on something else what is the point. God sees your heart. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

MizJanet:
Strollin along some of the threads , I saw someone quote this bible verse . Pls lets use our brain here .
______________

" fear him who can destroy both soul and BODY in hell' matt 10:28 .

The question that arise is : do BODY go to hell ? , BODY go to where ? Hell or grave . I thought body is placed in the grave or religion is clueless ?

Common sense (not so common anyway) dictates that you read the whole chapter to get the CONTEXT of the scripture rather that exposing your ignorance.

tola9ja:
ok
lastly
help me with this


1 Samuel 15:3Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.

Yeah, there is always a LASTLY. Well here is my lastly.
What help do you need? It is written in English Language. If you don't understand it, check a Bible in your Local Language. I am NOT an English teacher.

plaetton:
Lol
Pls read your quotation again .
Where did he mention holy spirit?
Did you just pull that from your behind, as is customary with you folks?

Since it seems like I have to explain bits and pieces of the Bible to you, I suggest you go read it yourself. I dont have that time.
Also for English, go look up the meaning of SYNONYMS in the dictionary. I cant help you with that.

Then see the scriptures below:
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" - Acts 1:8

Also see:
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" - Acts 2:4

Let me guess, you will now say Jesus said Holy Ghost not Holy Spirit then you expect me to explain that again. A simple understanding of SYNONYMS will help in that regard. Comprehende?

FortresOfChrist:
If Melchizedek is God according to you. How is the same God still priest of the most high God? God is priest of most high God? How does that sound please?

Why is it strange to you?
Is the Holy Spirit not the Spirit of the Most High God. Why is it hard to comprehend. God offered His son Jesus for us. Who can make an offering if not a Priest? Or was there another Priest?

Disregard the false concept of Trinity. You will see it better. As long as you believe there is only God the Father, Son and Spirit, God the Priest will sound strange to you.

plaetton:
What?
Jesus sent the holy spirit?

I am hearing this for the very first time.
This must be a brand new revelation.
I had been told that god sent his son Jesus to comfort and save mankind.
Now I am hearing from this dude that Jesus then delegated his saviouship to the invisible holy spirit.
Na wa ya o.
This story keeps getting stranger and stranger.

New to you ONLY. If you read your bible, you would have heard it since.

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. - John 16:7"

Comprehende?

i am not waiting with them, i am not a jew..yaweh promised them a messiah that will liberate them from their enemies...that has not happened, so they are still waiting..the romans invented the story of jesus to make people behave properly as the cost of war was too much on the economy..chriatainity was created solely for one purpose, to make human governable....

the jews dont believe in jesus because there is no record of him existing in there history..

i will rather pay more attention to my village deity than a made up foreign one..

There is NO record of Jesus in Jewish History? Really?
Look, if you want to put up falsefied facts, I do not converse with such. The works of Jesus are well documented. Go do your research.
The Jews acknowledge Jesus but NOT as the Son of God just as in Islam.

... but Really?
The Romans created christianity, and then KILLED (the founding fathers) early Christians and Apostles (by beheading and crucifiction) to make human's governable? I laugh.
If the above statement makes sense to you, you may as well worship a piece of carved wood (called your village deity).

frosbel:
it is not about me , it is about others.

Besides, what does my good works have to do with rape, ritual murder, sexual deviance, corruption, natural disasters, fratricide , matricide, genocide , prolicide , hate, slander etc

Do people suffer just for the sake of it or is there a final goal ?

And when we add your hell fire into the equation you have a monstrous plan for 99% of humanity .

So why didn't you add suicide to the list? Who is responsible for that? God? Devil? Drugs?

Until you and mankind generally realize that change comes internally, planet Earth will continue to suffer.
Jesus knew this and sent the Comforter (Holy Spirit) to dwell IN US. Change comes from WITHIN. Look in the mirror and start changing from there.

sonmvayina:
christains actually think the old testament is a christain document..well, it is not. it is jewish...and only them can explain who melchezedek is..and according to them he is shem, Noah son, who is the first high priest..

Yeah, Shem that lived over 1,000 years right? I laugh. Paul was also a Jew (and a Christian inspired by the Holy Spirit whom the current Jews do not believe) so he also knew what he was talking about. Paul spoke of Melchizedek in the NEW Tesatament.

The Jews are still waiting for Christ, are you waiting with them?

smallrincowis16:
god's words with so much differences!!!!

No, not God's words but man's interpretation of God's word. English itself doesn't help with tenses but he who seeks the TRUTH will always find it and so so for he who seeks CONFUSION. Do you research, get ORIGINAL texts if possible. The truth is out there.

Imams lie, so do Pastors. They are humans. Seek the truth for yourself. You can read and write cant you. Why must you wait for someone to explain crap to you?
Remember primary school english with Past tense, present tense, future tense, past participle bla bla bla.

tola9ja:
i need explanation on this


2 Chronicles 15:13Amplified Bible (AMP)

13 And that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.

Dude, did you read verse 9 to see the people (and context) involved or its not part of your Bible?

And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him - 2 Chron 15:9

olushowunm:
... Everything stated here is not back by any research, just bogus statements that is mpracticable..

Why dont you pick one and do your research or do you expect folks to publish their research for you FREE?
If you doubt the value of the Nigerian food market (especially during festive periods like Christmas and Easter), ask any 3 people you know including yourself how much they spend on food per day, per month or per year. Now thats some raw STATS for you.

johnydon22:
Of course... so tell me.. Have you?

Nah I will not cos you surely will not believe.
If you do not believe in Jesus, how will you believe that someone has seen him?

OP Nothing is wrong with it. However, if it bugs you so much, try to reach out to old friends you see in the dreams and find out how they are doing.

who will solve the riddle?
Tempts?
"And it came to pass after these things, that God
did tempt Abraham." (GEN 22:1)
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am
tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with
evil, neither tempteth he any man." (JAS 1:13)
* Does God tempt people? If yes,
*explain James 1:13...
And if no
*explain Genesis 22:1

Here is your answer:
Meaning of Tempt from Google: entice or attempt to entice (someone) to do or acquire something that they find attractive but know to be wrong or not beneficial.

Thank God for technology, KJV doesnt do justice to most bible passages. I will show you those scriptures from the Amplified Bible (AMP).

Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. - James 1:13 (AMP)

After these events, God tested and proved Abraham and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here I am. - Genesis 22:1 (AMP)

See any difference or do you still need further explanation?

OP, You eat in the dream when you are hungry. Eat WELL before you sleep.

johnydon22:
so which is it, black or brown?

so have u seen Jesus?

...If I have will you believe me?

johnydon22:
Yeah i have oo.. Was thinking if spiderman existed in real life, the people of new york would have chased his azs out of new york... Who wants to walk around the city with giant cob webs flying around

But seriously was hoping your god could say "hi" in the movies too, kinda imaginning if it will have long white beards.. Wouldnt it be great !!!

Nah. No white beards, probably black or brown.
Jesus said, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father. So I guess He would be like Jesus.

FortresOfChrist:
Which Melchizedek is God?

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; - Heb:7:1

...You can read the Whole chapter

Rilwayne001:
Re-read my post, I'm not just talking about the bolded, the underlined are not exempted…

My religious Brother, dont allow your Imams confuse you. Jesus called him the Spirit of Truth. Is Muhammed as Spirit? Have you seen a spirit?
I see a lot of Muslims pedal this falsehood. Trying to integrate the Koran into the Bible. It is false. If you take time so study both Books like I have, you will see there is no connection and even if there is, they do NOT agree.

The bible says Jesus (Isa) is the Son of God. You say he was just a prophet. This is the begining of the confusion.
If you read the book of Acts in the bible especially Chapter 1 and 2 (they are not long). You will see how the Holy Spirit came. He is truely a Spirit as NO ONE has seen him. Surely Jesus did not talk of 2 Spirits.

It couldnt have been Muhammed. Muhammed was NOT a spirit.
Ask your Imam to explain how a Spirit of Truth can have wives and children?

johnydon22:
Lmoa.. Spiderman said a lot of "hi" in the comic books...

Yeah, even SuperMan has more. Have you seen the movie? Way better than the comic ;-)

POPdecorator:
y cann't u help am ask god

Even if I did, he will not believe. You can help him or try asking the Darkness. Atleast we all have access to it and its free.

Rilwayne001:
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:..... When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Please ponder on the embolded and the underlined part of the above verse(s) and tell me your observation(s)

...because Jesus said HE? God is refered to as HE and so is the DEVIL, even angels and demons. Are the ALL Muhammed?

Yes, Human nature. I am sure if your Ancestors were told of Mobile phone and internet of today they would say the same.
