What is the business of CAN in the matter?

Beautiful! But these are toys. Vanities without salvation in Jesus Christ.

VirginFinder:
The truth is that gays and lesbians will go to hell if they don't repent.
Same goes for every other sinner.
The only difference is that homosexuals are recalcitrant, adamant and impervious to correction and clearly stated biblical instructions. They have refused to accept that they are wrong or what they do is sin. They want to be accepted and loved for who they are while making no attempt to change by way of seeking help.
Worse still, they want to enjoy get married like normal people, adopt kids and corrupt them. They want heterosexuals to be like them.

No amount of Catholic/papal window dressing(I pity unsuspecting catholics) and worldly approval will save them.

There is a growing trend of humanism around the world. It preaches that whatever you do is right as far as you don't hurt anybody.
This doctrine is satanic and hell inspired.

Unfortunately, humanism(satanism) may continue to thrive in these end times. The Bible has said it. But it will never happen until the rapture has taken place.

I am not claiming to be a saint. I keep confessing my sins daily, trying my best to avoid sin and working towards perfection. I pray that I will not be found wanting when it matters most.
I do not claim to be right while continuing in sin.

Romans 1: 19-28
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I AM BOTHERED ABOUT YOU.

YOU DON'T YET KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SAVED ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE.

SALVATION:
1) IS A PRESENT POSSESSION.
2) IT COMES BY BEING BORN AGAIN = BORN OF GOD = BORN OF THE SPIRIT.
3) THIS AUTOMATICALLY MAKES GOD YOUR FATHER AND YOU HIS CHILD.

ALSO, AUTOMATICALLY,
4) THE HOLY SPIRIT STARTS TO DWELL IN YOU IN A MEASURE.
5) YOU BEGIN TO HAVE SPIRITUAL LIFE.
6) YOU ARE MOVED FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT. FROM SATAN'S DOMINION INTO GOD'S KINGDOM.
7) YOU'RE NO LONGER A SINNER BUT A SAINT
YOU'RE A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN.
9) WHEN YOU DIE YOU GO TO HEAVEN STRAIGHT.

DO THESE MEAN THAT YOU ARE PERFECT OR INCAPABLE TO SIN?

NO! BUT BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU BEGIN TO GROW IN CHRIST EACH DAY TO BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM. SINNING BECOMES A RARITY RATHER THAN THE NORM OR RULE IN YOUR LIFE.

It is no longer news that the 30th Convocation Ceremony of the prestigious University of Calaber, Calaber held yesterday being 11th of March, 2017 for the graduating set of 2014/2015 Academic Session and some 2015/2016 Set.
The glamorous ceremony took place at the University Stadium with many notable dignitaries in attendance.
A total of 22 graduating Students bagged
First Class honors (Highest in the history of the University, established in 1975), 2,408 graduated with Second Class Upper, 5,890, Second Class lower (Which my humble self graduated with), 2,900
will go home with Third Class while 1,000
graduands will take home a Pass certificate (I for no collect). From various department.
Many where shocked when the 'award price' of N10,000 (Ten Thousand Naira) for the Overall Best Graduating Student was announced. Mr. Agala Egbe topped his mates with an outstanding CGPA of 4.89 (over 5.00) no be beans oooo if u know Unical. He bagged his first class certificate from the Department of Medical Laboratory Science (MLS). He is from Abi LGA in Cross River State.
For me, this is indeed a slap to hard work coming from the University Management.

That's how much we value education here! If it was Entertainment he would be rewarded more.

Categories of pastors:
1) Pastor who are not born again but sincerely 'serving' God.
2) Similar to 1 above but not sincere
3) Born again pastor sincere not making merchandise of members.
4) Born again pastor fleecing members.

All collect tithes and offerings routinely. Tithes are not for Christians but Jews. Also there's no need for ROUTINE offering collection if we had followed the pattern laid down for us in the Acts of the Apostles i. e. home (based) church system. However, since we have opted for the congregational system and made it the norm then money became a necessity. Tithe therefore became justified so was routine collection of offerings and when money comes mammon follows.

The result of climate change and poor city development in a costal area.

It is good to be rich, but it's vanity when Jesus is missing there.
I hope he has Jesus to make it worthwhile.

What a beauty!

But will it drive its owner to heaven?

It's essentially about materialism and the 'pride of life' because the worth of the life of a man is not about his possessions.

Be sure it's about who gets there to loot the common wealth. It's not about who to serve the people.

May it not be mere show and deceptive political correctness.

S,e,X between man and woman has lost its moral value and divine purpose. It can only get worse.

On the other hand virginity preservation without salvation and life in Christ is of little value.

i dont know why somebody will not allow somebody to grow up before getting married to somebody

MY HEART WEEPS FOR THIS UNFORTUNATE CHILD AND ALL CHILDREN TRAPPED IN THIS SYSTEM.

IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING THAT WE HUMANS CAN DO THIS TO OURSELVES BECAUSE THIS NEVER HAPPENS EVEN IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. YOU WILL NEVER SEE A COCK RUN AFTER A CHICKEN TO HAVE S..E..X.. WITH BUT WITH A HEN BECAUSE OF NATURAL INSTINCT.

LORD JESUS, PLEASE COME QUICKLY TO SAVE THE LITTLE CHILDREN THAT YOU LOVE SO DEARLY.

Firstcitizen:
Waiting to see how this unfolds. The fact that she has approached Festus Keyamo for legal representation shows there is more than meets the eye in this story.

I am beginning to have doubts about Christianity in Nigeria. Seems it is better to worship God on your own than attend church. Most are run by scammers.

Stories like this will continue to surface, true or fake. It's end times scenario. Such stories will continue to give Christians, the church and Christianity a bad name. But the truth remains unshaken and unshakeable because of Jesus.

The Bible says, 'Let all men be liars, God remains true'. Furthermore, it says even when we're unfaithful, He remains faithful because He can't deny Himself. By nature He is faithful, holy, righteous and true.

The commonplace Christianity is largely not the Christianity Jesus intended. We've turned it into religion. Biblical, new testament Christianity IS NOT a religion or one of the religions. It is a FAMILY, FAMILY RELATIONSHIP that is home based by default as we find in the Acts of the Apostles. Congregational church then was the exception, the occassional rather than the rule. Within 2 centuries of Pentecost, the reverse became the norm till this day with damaging consequences.

Modern Evangelical Pentecostalism with its Americanisation has further created serious dented image. Money is worshipped. Materialism and fashion have become the order of the day, etc. Because of us the name of God is being blasphemed.

Please, let's just hold on to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. He will soon return to restore all things.

TIME AND / OR ETERNITY WILL TELL!

Dear NLs, I believe we share information n experiences here- I have benefited from many n wud like ppl to learn from mine.

Im not writing this to gain likes, fp, or popularity. My religious brethren will call ds a testimony others may call this motivational. I jus call this my experience. Pardon my grammar, typo, opinions etc

INTRODUCTION
I did my nysc program in a medical center of an FG college of education in plateau state (FCE pankshin) as a doctor. I finished last year November with 2015 Batch B stream 2. My PPA had not paid me august n September 2016 as at feb 2017.

THE PAYMENT
I was still around there because I was doing my own thing on the low n as a hustler. I had faith dt my money wud be paid n I jus had to exercise patience (recession dey ground)
Fast foward to 1/3/17, I went to the institution to discuss with some officials and one top one told me that my financial issues had been sorted out. As a black yoruba boy, I was already' declaring'non- alcoholic drinks for some of dem at work because I was happy. When the alert finally came, I saw an excess of N180 , 000.

THE TEMPTATION
Ghen Ghen.....On getting to my room, I sat down n pondered. The voices in my head were of 2 kinds.
1. Evil voice- This voice gave me reasons not to return this money eg. I was gonna leave the state till further notice, I had been owed for too long n here is my blessing for being patient, some of the staff' shit for my church' n I cud use this for damages, nobody knows I was overpaid- and wat they dont know wont hurt them etc.

2. Righteous voice- This voice told me not to listen becos' that is not the kind of person I am' .

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I did not sleep all thru the night these 2 yeye voices chose to use my body as a battle field and guess who was winning? Evil.
I picked up my phone and started discussion with my other half (my lady). We argued for hours via phone calls and chats. And the winner again was Evil (that guy na badt guy, he will give u a thousand reasons not to do the right thing- wetin I no like be say, mr righteous no sabi argue). I finally told her I was not paying back and we ended the discussion.

JUDGEMENT DAY
The next morning I was trying to make myself happy because' I don get alert, na God win' but the battle continued and so I sat down telling myself to use my pen /paper smack down- this is how I personally weigh my actions and consequences. Lo and behold, I actually had more reasons to pay that money back eg 1. In the future this issue may be discovered and it will tarnish my reputation dt I spent nights and days of years to build.
2.180k no go make me millionare- na by hand work with brain and God's power.
3. I know that this money aint really mine.
4.Somebody else will suffer because I chose to keep it.
5. Its going to help alot of households that have less than i do.
6. Will I be able to say this to my family n my unborn kids? And alot more reasons came up.

And instantly I felt the sudden urge to return the money. I took an' express' bath and headed straight for the bursary department with mr righteous motivating and 'whyning' me :"Do quick drop this money before the story change, delay is dangerous etc

THE PAYMENT
On getting to the department and explaining to them -the provost gave me 50 k and told me to pay 130k....

I felt immediate bliss and still didnt regret paying back. Now for my mind I have bragging rights .hehe

The end.

END TIME SPIRIT.

doctokwus:
Was in church today and d priest was condemning those who "sag" and females or males that wear torn jeans. He claimed they are immoral acts,amongts others practiced by the youths of today. Though he didnt categorically say they are sins,but his trend of speech wit strong condemnation was heading in that direction.
In my mind I didnt quite see it that way.

My question is: are unusual fashion trends really immoral or sinful acts?

I ask because i av seen pics and videos of Europeans or Americans that go to church half unclad and priests over there dont dwell on it as immoral. Are our priests now more knowledgeable in the bible than those in d western world?

NOT SINFUL.
BUT INAPPROPRIATE, DISRESPECTFUL, FOOLISH, CHILDISH AND UNSIGHTLY.
IT'S SHAMEFUL

jaymejate:
Please, i need a Godly, Moral advice on this.

I'm still a student and i am willing to give to God but my allowance is very small.
After removing money for handouts, textbooks and assignments, the left over is little that it might not last 5 days. Should i still go ahead and give the tithe?

A christian is not supposed to be paying tithe. Jews under the old covenant were.

lalasticlala:
I got this mail. Kindly read and share your views and advice. The person in question is reading. Thanks. See the unedited mail after the cut.

YOUR ADVICE IS NEEDED: I AM BEEN PRESSURED TO GET MARRIED AND ALSO CHANGING MY RELIGION


"I wonder why she should be pressuring me to change my religion before getting married to her. I sorted an advice from a pastor, and I was told that she was not the woman for me. That i will have problems along the marriage. After I few consideration, I decided to also sort for advice from Nairalanders.

I am a muslim and my woman is a christian. She is forcing me to change my religion which i have been practicing since childhood. Taking such a decision is not that easy you know. To change my religion because of a woman? I don't think it is right. She has also refuse to change to my religion. Now, her family are pressuring and want me to change my religion. I am writing this to seek advice from Nairalanders to give me direction to follow... I know many will yab, insult or in-sugar me... I just need a candid advice."

With due respect, the fact is none of you know who a Christian is nor what Christianity means. Christianity is NOT a religion.

End times.

Modenzy:
Happy sunday to all nairalanders.

There is a serious question that i always want to ask but today iam realeasing it out from the substructure of my mind.

It is Biblically and doctrinically mandatory for christ-likes in 97% churches to marry one (1) wife. Good.
Assuming a man is having two wives and he gave his life to christ as his personal LORD and SAVIOUR, should the man still stick and maintain the two wives

Please, matured answers, bible quotes are welcomed. Phylosophical reasonings are welcome too.

If these two wives were married by, at least, the custom of the land i. e. the marriages were in accordance with the law of the land or religious requirements, THEY ARE INDEED his wives. He should not divorce any EXCEPT any wants to go because of his new found faith.

He will NOT HOWEVER not be able to work as an overseer or deacon in the church but can do NON SPIRITUAL OVERSIGHT functions.

If not properly married he can divorce any or both. If both were not properly married he may decide to properly marry one of them. Which one, first or second, is his choice.

Tough. Tough. Tough choices.

Hurlstarling:
I remember so vivid then how ecstatic I was in God's presence. Full of life and joy, in fact led praises in youth gatherings. So it becomes quite unbelievable how vast things have changed over the course of three years, and how well I personally have changed.

The beginning of this I cannot pinpoint. However, the causes I can suggest. Over the years I have become an active thinker with logic dominating most of my reasonings. These registered quite a lot of dissonance in what I used to belief and what reality presents as same it has helped in understanding the universe and God purpose for humanity, and what he is doing to achieve this despite the human race being unappreciative. Also, my not so interested in many things and zero emotional level could have also contributed to the lack of Joy in God's presence, since Joy is positively heightened emotion. This then stands not the problem: "My inability to make use of my gift."

As a thinker I do so well in the line of writing, so the gift of writing which is intellectual I exhibit without restraint despite my personality, in fact it favours it. My other gift which propels this piece is the gift of worship: I am a songwriter and singer.

Unable, is the verb that relates to this gift. Of course I try my best going to church despite my so restrained spectrum of interest. That wouldn't be a problem, the problem is the joy is not so much there: the need to be part of what they do. I see choristers sing and every time I wish I can be part of that, sing with them to the God of my fathers. The gift is there, I have written hundreds of songs, taught couples in the past, still write, just I can't exhibit the will to sing or teach them any longer. I am approaching zero level of interest in spiritual activities. Conflicting is I still love God having understand his plan for humanity. So the author is not an, and can never be an atheist. This is evident in my coming novel "A Loveline" (I will like you read it).


So, if anyone knows how, and how and well, well and good, efficient practical not spiritually placed steps to exercise this music skills of mine in God's presence as I expressly do here with my writing skills, I will be glad to see it shared.

I don't want it wasted.

Religion is bad news. Jesus did not bring any religion. Satan created religion to give humanity wrong hope. So called Christian Religion is an aberration. Christianity is FAMILY RELATIONSHIP where God is Father and we are children according to the New Testament.
