goodguy:

Babyosisi, just relax and watch.  Seems to me that some peeps dey use style dey do "Holy toasting" for Nairaland.

I beg, I am not among them. 

Is just that speaking in tongues(yoruba, don't get me wrong oh! ) is great with the communcations made here, sorry(pele) babyosisi cause you virtually don't understand what we are talking about. But don't worry, the Holy Spirit will open your eyes soon enough.

[center]I am happy to tell you the name of this new station. [/center]

[center][size=15pt]"Link 65"[/size][/center]

This early morning while trying to dress up for work, I put on the T.V. and tuned it to UHF 65, and I saw then doing a matrix cartoon, I was suprised cause I thought they would be doing a movie, immediately they finished they brought out there name "Link 65".

I know this guy will be the best competing will STV in entertainment.

PE6 reminds me of the Legend PE4. The game is the bomb. PE6 is like a clone of PE4 totally compared to PE5 . I played it yesterday and I was like, damn my game is back to life.

PE6 is simply cool

shahan:

The good thing is that almost everyone is a winner in one way or another. But as is said in the golden rule, the first shall be the last, abi? So, shall we say that your own gift be given to ope_emi who just joined in here!

Eyan Gidi, thank you ojare.

I know say my God no dey let me down ke, beni.

goodguy:

Leave Ope and I to sort ourselves out. He's my boy. Our houses are just less than a 5 minute walk apart, so you can still send the gifts to my own house . I will give him his own share that I feel he deserves. . . and that's even if the gift is shareable in the first place.

I'm a goodguy, remember?

Look at this boy, calling me his boy. You know say Elijah called upon God for Fire from heaven, na thunder I go call to strike that little butts of yours(calling me his boy, tufiaka ). Na every thing we go share equally, Lagbara Olorun.

Lets be frank here sha, you are everly my boy.

mrpataki:

If the Muslim doctor does not acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ, there is no other way to salvation. You of all people should even know better.

Did you take time to let him know this?, but instead all you took note of was how nice and understanding he was. For such a person, why did you let him treat you?

mrpataki:

Maybe he thinks being nice is one of the fruit of the spirit! Even the devil can be nice!

Or have you forgotten what you said?

mrpataki:

Even though I might have an extensive knowledge as to the subject matter.

My! My!! My!!!
I am amazed at the extensive knowledge you claim to have.

mrpataki:
As to your case, I guess you are better left to your ways of thinking!

Would Jesus do the same as this?

Please! Lets try to reason together, and correct our mistakes. If you think anything is wrong, try to prove which is wrong instead of castigating the post and the poster. I believe that peace can be restored, but this can only happened when all work as one. As for me, I believe in One Supreme God, Creator of Heaven and Earth. I don't know much of Quran and the rest, but the people around me who are Muslims have so much faith in God, and live peaceful lives.

Let peace reign.

davidylan:

I just have one answer, read the story of Jesus and Nicodemus. I doubt if Jesus was clappiing nicodemus on the back for having qualified for heaven on the basis of being a "nice" pharisee!

Just has Jesus preached to Nicodemus in the Bible even due to the fact that he was a "nice" pharisee. Why can't a Christian Brethen also do the same, do you think it's fair to just see people live nice, noble lives in vain and yet end up in hell.

mrpataki, saw a very nice and understanding man and yet he watched a "life lived in vanity"(according to your points), is this right?
Take for example what you said Jesus did, he still went ahead to preach to Nicodemus, why can't mrpataki?

mrpataki:

I only hate that religion!

I guess this was his reason.

davidylan:

mr. important, it beggars the mind to read some of what emanates from the minds of so-called "christians". I would be seriously ashamed to associate myself with a "christian" who still has no clue what it takes to enjoy eternall life.

I can see you are full of clues David, why can't you share them instead of feeling ashamed or don't you want us have what it takes to enjoy eternal life?

davidylan:
If being nice is enough to take me to heaven, i might as well close shop as a christian, marry as many wives and concubines, get drunken, steal, so long as i am nice to everyone i meet!

Quite a strange definition of nice in your context. You should be a lexicographer.

davidylan:
As for goodguy, ii would advice you let him enjoy his ignorant fantasyland where christians and muslims worship the same "god".

A good Christian Brother like you is giving an advice to others to let him be in his fantasyland, instead of laying your facts down to resolve the questions at hand.

I was shocked when I saw this topic again. But in a different way.

I thought I saw transgendered, A Female(Optical illusions). 

No mind me O.

I don miss

But we go share the gift goodguy O!

mrpataki:

Also, I don't hate any muslim brother or sister, infact, I was at the hospital today and I was attended to by an Alfa, who is a doctor! very nice and understanding a human being.
I only hate that religion!

I just have 'one question', do you think God will condemn that doctor to hell for being a Muslim?

mrpataki:

Really am sick of people of your type, that is goodguy, ope_emi. Your inputs here goes to show a long way, how much you apply yourself to the study of Gods word. Again it is people of your type that go again to label certain people as church goers, and not christians, label certain peeps as "christians"

I am sorry that you are sick at the truth, I really don't blame you because you have never taken the time to put yourself in peoples shoes.

mrpataki:
yet to exchange insults, is your delight.

What should I call this?, I can say this is a typo. Give me or should I say pin point any area in my post that I exchanged insult with you or anybody in this forum(that would be a delight )

mrpataki:
How shameful of you both to equate the Holy One of Isreal to the Idol of Islam!

And again, where did you see my equate the Holy One of Isreal to an Idol(Is this not a shame? ).

mrpataki:
@ ope_emi,
Asking you a verse in the bible and you cannot give a response to it, shows how fibble and weak you are in Gods word! Yet you can open your mouth to say you are giving an erudite answer. You should have sought for Imam goodguy to explain the verse to you. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is the king of all! Keep tagging along oh.

And you are the only one feeling shameful of someone, how can you suddenly deviate from the topic and go out of context using bible quotes. And yet you castigate me by saying I am fibble and weak in Gods words when you've not corrected my error(as you put).

As for the verse, Matthew 11:12 -And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Another Version(NIV)
Matthew 11:12 -From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.

Here, Jesus Christ talked about John the baptist, the importance of his coming and what he meant. When the Lord said the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and violent take it by force. He meant people are trying to get into the Kingdom of heaven, does that have existed before John and now. If you think am wrong you can always correct me in your next post.

mrpataki:
Sorry, but do you believe also Christians and Muslims serve the same God ?

I can't see any sense in your post anymore mrpataki, you said I equate God with Idols, and you are just asking me the question "if I believe we serve the same God" after scolding me earlier. Now, this is a shame!

My Answer: Yes. I believe there is One Supreme God which everyone knows, just different ideologies. But Christianity is the true religion because it talked about Jesus and the Holy Trinity which is the main argument between both religion.

mrpataki:
NB. I don't shy away from been corrected here, it has happened before and I gladly accepted the correction from all.

@ All,
Beware of wolves in sheep clothings!

I pray God increases you wisdom, and unclothe the wolves.

mrpataki:

Sometimes I forget that I am not talking to people of great minds, the other time goodguy was misquoting me when I said "great Nairaland users", he was quick to cook up the theory that there were non-great Nairaland users. When you are looking for cheap scores, you begin to go offpoint. My "off-mark inputs" was a coinage for the term "offpoints", in my own world.

I guess in your world, people think the same ways as you do, you should be called the Great Sect of Christians then.

mrpataki:
I have addressed you where I saw the error, your question is better posed to davidylan, whom you want to show off your erudite training to.

My error!, if I indeed I ascribed the glory of answers to my intellect, then why not correct me instead of laying flimsy excuses.

mrpataki:
I agree best with davidylan here as he has adequately adressed this input of yours. Just to add that, I will want you to shed more light on this scripture for me, the erudite one!:

Oh! , you mean the holier-than-thou attitude which davidylan posted. I guess you do think the same way.

mrpataki:
Matthew 11:12 -And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

I don't see this giving answers to the questions being asked.

mrpataki:
God Bless and Happy Sunday to you.

My Sunday was Great, Thanks.

davidylan:

It is disgusting the way "christians" try to put up a holier-than-thou attitude on these boards.

It only shows the level of there maturity on the board as long as there is abusive words being spilled out.

davidylan:
Matt 23: 33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Well if I saw, "Ye moronic species, ye generation of fools, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?". It would have being a different case. 

davidylan:
Would you accuse Jesus of being "unchristian" here for using "Derogatory" words?

Jesus was never a Christian because Jesus is Christ(Messiah). Jesus brought Christianity. Who art thou to accuse the lord.

But as for you;
Matt 7:1, 2; ¹"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. ²For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

mrpataki:

@ ope_emi,
Sorry to interject here, just because you feel you should side your very good friend (goodguy), you may begin to make off-mark inputs.

Will you try explaining what you meant by "off-mark inputs".

mrpataki:

This is the epitome of it all. Never ascribe the glory of answers to Gods words here to your intellect!

If you think I was ascribing the glory of answers to my intellect as you put it, then will you try explaining to me what the verse quoted by davidylan meant.

mrpataki:

Pray tell me the erudite one!

I guess this was a typo.

mrpataki:

Where do I place a friend of mine whose parents sent him out of the house for converting to a christian from am Imam family, or where do I place another of my friend whose Alhaji father is telling him he cannot marry a christian lady or else, he will curse him to his death!
Or myself that I am daily persecuted by friends for being a bible bashing bigot even here on nairaland by Reverend and his moronic species?

Like we all know this common proverbs that says, "Fingers are not equal". There will be people who will do anything to keep there family into there religion. While there are some who believes the world would be a better place regardless of there religion.

You see, there will always be people like Reverend, and you can't force them of there beliefs. All we can do is to advice and tell them the truth. It is now left to them to make a choice. And whatever they say against you shouldn't be of any importance as long as you have your faith rooted in God.

And I believe as a Christian by faith such derogatory words like "moronic species" should be used, right?

mrpataki:

If and only if it is only in the aftermath (rapture) that christians are going to be persecuted

They word Christian is very easy to say. If you are a Christian by mouth, so shall it be(as above). But if you are a Christian by faith, the Kingdom of Heaven awaits your arrival.

davidylan:

It is the very same kind of question the serpent used to decieve Eve in the garden. What would have been your response to this saying:

Mathew 10: 34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household

Please ask Jesus that your earlier "contradicting" question.

Looking at the way you posted this specific verses in the bible. You are trying to say that Christians should condemn Muslims because they wage wars on us, considering the posts you are trying to back up. And that the lord does not forgive any Muslims.

These same verse you are trying to explain has already been expounded upon in the thread, "Why Christianity Is Wrong" in which babs787 asked this same question and I gave him an erudite answer of want Jesus was trying to pass across.


But your explanation is quite off the track.

davidylan:

no, the main thing Jesus was trying to point out to His disciples there was simple.
The Jewish mentality of a Messiah was a glorious king coming in the mould of David to defeat their Roman enemies and become a great king.
They did not reckon with a mere baby born out of wedlock and in a manger claiming to be God Himself!

I don't see this explaining the verses you quoted above, though you are trying to prove a point about the birth of Christ.

davidylan:
When Christ made the earlier statement, it was like a prophecy to foretell what being Christian would be in this present world. Being a true Christian sets u apart from others, men will hate you, ridicule you even family will be against you for your faith.
He was not talking about a realistic sword there but a hypothetical one.

It was a warning the early apostles learned very early: being christian is not a bed of roses. Paul and co went through horrors for their faith, it was not a peaceful ride, neither was it going to be a straight ticket to fame.

Let me correct this, it wasn't a prophesy that foretell what Christians would be in this present world as you said, but was talking about the aftermath of the Rapture.
The verse was a warning alright, and a clarification of what will happen in His(Jesus) second coming.

I hope you get my point.

Nice Jokes, I have heard the first affair before but everything cracked my ribs.

You choose my man there(not that he is my superhero). 

I have created a topic("Who's Your Favourite Animated Character?" similar to this in which I posted some movies characters portraying the cartoons.

I couldn't have elaborated better.

Is this a typo?

I guess not.

Look here again.

Nigerians dey try.

goodguy:

Lol. Copy copy.

Take your time O, na only you know am.

I'm glad someone finally sharapped the noisy chic. I couldn't believe it could be done in such a humiliating manner. Welldone Serena! What a way to announce ur return!

I didn't want to make any statement on this thread about muslims and the rest, but since I see that most of us in this thread are christians, I might as well spit it out.

I am quite ashamed or disgusted at the way christians react to some muslims on this forum mostly in the religion section. You are only disproving your God the more you lay abusive and derogatory words. Please lets take thing easy and calm on the this forum.

I Hope Serena Williams makes me proud. I am really happy that she qualified after beating Vaidisova. Both Serena and Sharapova will play the finals. It would be the battle of Stamina vs Noise.

@ toptho

You again, ehn?. you hand is always on the reply button.

Don't worry, I will beat you to it next time.

My boy(Roger Federer) is on fire right now.

What a surprising finish by T.Haas, I thought Davydenko was going to win the game. They both played a wonderful game. Let see what Nadal can do against Gonzalez. I know it would be tough for him.

Nice Joke, I first thought he wanted to put down his will which he was going to leave behind.

toptho:

Nadal had better not be a party-pooper

As long as the court is neither Hard or Clay, he(Federer) ought to win.
