A guy that plaits his hair and still pray to Jesus, is that one a Christian?

Yes

[quote author=Andyibest post=67509247]A man once told me that the reason why the blacks are completely different from the whites is because we have not yet evolved to the level they are... We are at the point they were in the 1880s and we are still evolving...

Nigeria is a country in ruins and not because of the government, but because of the people.. Remember, Nigeria is not a place, but a people.

The political system of Nigeria is still a do or die affair just as the same way Emperors were being murdered anyhow in China (in the olden days), we are still not evolved to understand things and that is why we praise our politicians and kiss their feet.

look at it this way... We are the ones who employ (elect) politicians e.g Buhari to work in their office and we can take them out if we don't want him after 4 years.

Now, look at it this way, when a boss employs a worker he gives the worker the list of his duties and expects the worker to do them without fail because he is getting paid.. That is the same way Buhari was employed to do certain duties without fail because he is getting paid...

Now, this worker does his job and the company moves forward. There is no boss in this world that praises the worker for doing his job. Bosses only praise workers for adding more to their job, for doing it perfectly, for helping them reduce costs, for doing it faster and they are given promotion.

Now when I look at Nigeria, when Buhari builds roads, gives electricity, water, build schools or provide jobs, people keep praising him, why do they do that? Buhari was employed to do these things and he does them accordingly so we should not be surprised. There is no boss in Nigeria that is surprised that his worker does things just as he wanted them to do it.

Bosses are only surprised that workers do more to it and bring a perfect job... Now let's say Buhari provides 3m jobs in 3months. Now that is something we praise him for because we employed him to provide jobs, but the speed at which he does it makes him deserve praise... Between a fast and slow typist who receives praises. The fast one, and not because his work is better or cleaner, but because he saves time...

Nigerians need to understand this that we are not begging these people, these people depend on us and we are their bosses, but Nigerians prefer to be lied to and praise them when they build roads as if we employed Buhari for nothing...

When we keep praising these politicians for doing what they are supposed to do we keep reducing our expectations for them and they keep doing the little things we praise them for, this cycle continues till they leave office and even after they leave office.. And that is why for over 18 years of democracy no politician has been able to solve the problem of the people... Because the people who vote them are comfortable with the little things they do...

They build roads we hail, they build bridges, we hail, they build street lights we hail and I wonder why we employed them in the first place

Will you keep praising Buhari, Okowa, Wike, Ambode etc or any politician from any part for building roads, for providing jobs, for providing quality healthcare... Isn't that why we employed him in the first place

Ask yourself these questions and stop accepting little things from these politicians, because this cycle will continue even after the death of Buhari and Obasanjo... don't say that Nigerians will never listen, because you are a Nigerian, if you listen and implement it, that means others will too...

I am just trying to look at things differently, because you can't expect a blind man to lead blind men, you can expect a politician that thinks just like you to change a whole country.[/quote

Excellent

abdelrahman:
ok those versions are wrong?

From my limited set of knowledge as everyone else, yes i world say they are wrong, because compared to the old KJV some original contents have been lifted in the new versions to suit someone else's ideology. They've been uttered by the world propaganda of a few for indoctrination, similar to the divide in shia and suni Muslims. Diversity in thought is not peculiar to one religion, society or politics. Its everywhere, please let's drop our prejudice, reject gospels of division, seeking to promote the general support for humanity. That also answers your question why the Whites are refining their belief system and I add moving away from the bigotry of the west and mental slavery killing the African race.

abdelrahman:
like this?

Then there was another battle with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan son of Jaareoregim, the Bethlehemite, killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. [2 Samuel 21:19 (NRSV)]

The NIV says Elhanan killed Goliath.
"In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod" (II Sam 21:19).
The NASV says Elhanan killed Goliath.
"And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam" (II Sam 21:19).
The ESV says Elhanan killed Goliath.
"And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam" (II Sam 21:19).

Please read from the KJV the version yet to be uttered for the propaganda of the world today.

Please my friend note that the sling fell Goliath the sword was then drawn to finish him off. Take note of the word 'then' a clear indication of the two steps David employed to kill Goliath.

abdelrahman:
how far

Please read with an open mind, and you will find that David was the killer of Goliath and Elhanan the killer of Goliath's brother. It was recorded that Gob and the land of Philistines had a family of giants.

Now 28, Bro as you grow older you will realize they are better things to keep you busy and worried than a
forgotten birthday.

Please excuse my Bible analogy, Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.

Exactly the point I made a few weeks back here on nairaland...the tithing issue isn’t what freeze and his ilk are really after...that is just a decoy, their main aim is the church and everything the church represents..which is holiness, freedom, joy, peace, wealth and LOVE...

My friend what is a church? 'A place of worship' yes Deuteronomy 12:5. Is it necessarily a building every Christian must visit? No. Alternative location?, yes the mind/heart of you and i( infact its the first choice) John 4:20-23. What is Daddy freeze attacking?. Possibly the mind of those been brainwashed within the walls of a building.
What did Jesus say about the physical structure or worship centres? Same John 4:20-23 could help us. Then what is the relevance of these structures? A place where we can visit at will to reason together Isaiah 1:18.

Further more the gathering can possibly take place at any property Deuteronomy 16:16, Luke 24:52-53, Matthew 18:20. The disciples were known for gathering at an upper room mentioned in Acts 1, the Shavrout also known as the Pentecost occurred in Acts 2; at oikos Greek word for house; which could have been the upper room or other rooms in the temple at Jerusalem or some other location. The central argument here is the bible hasn't commanded that the meeting place must be the property labeled as church. In conclusion i believe the heart is where the spirit and presence of God comes to dwell. The physical structures are centres we can go and reason together or fellowship promoting all you mentioned as what the church represents.

If many Christians can find time to do personal research on what is a church; I think it will come to us naturally that tithing, first fruits and animal sacrifices for atonement are rooted in Abrahamic/mosaic law/Judaism of the old testament outdated to Christians and modified by Jesus in the new testament. He emphasised on free will giving instead Matthew 19:21, Matthew 25:42, Mark 12:41-44. As further explained by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13; the offerings, seed of faith, the miracles and biblical orientation that church brings are insignificant to the love towards one another that God requires from us. This love shouldn't be mistaken for the eye-service and charity displays in the media, it ought to come from the heart/mind where God wrote the new commandments in Deuteronomy 6:6 and in relation to Davids prayer in psalms 51. If that love which is in us is genuine we will be slow to judge and abuse another human as an agent of the devil because of his views against our faith/doctrine.

While i will encourage fellowship with others in our spare times, i stand on the point that God is spirit and as John 4-23 illustrates not church goers but true worshippers to worship him in spirit and in truth; may the Holy spirit our comforter and teacher continue to pass the grace of sound mind and courage to be free from mental slavery.

Thank you.

Please can someone advise on how to obtain the Nigerian epassport?. Thank you

So I could have just said "Yes, but I'm not active"?

Yes please

I suppose you meant 'frequency in facebook visits '. You could either be 'active' or 'not active'. The former explains that you come online often as notification is received while the latter mean you only log in when time permits.

N.B: i am not a grammar expert.

@yush thank you for the encouragement I appreciate.
