Religion / Re: The Rapture: Determining Which Position Is Right!! by paxonel(m): 12:32am On Mar 28 |
Scriptures never suggest that there is going to be rapture or any tribulation for Christians. Post -tribulation, pre-tribulation or whatever, are all fictional ideas and doctrines of the human minds and fears |
Religion / Re: "Dressing Like Deeper Life Is Not A Criteria For Heaven" - Pastor W.F. Kumuyi by paxonel(m): 6:03am On Mar 26 |

Religion / Re: Pastor Abel Damina Blasts Pastor E. A Adeboye For Clamming He Drank Tea With God by paxonel(m): 5:35am On Mar 26 |
He drank tea with God years ago, does not necessarily mean he drank tea with God in the real sense . It may mean that was the year he became born again and they took communion in his Lodge, then some hungry fellow came to steal the last communion without them knowing it, and became born again too But will his congregation understand that?

Religion / Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 8:01am On Mar 25 |
MiddleDimension:You are not getting what I'm saying I do not argue that all these do not happen in monogamy. I'm telling you that the high number of out of school children in Africa which translate to societal irresponsibility is directly proportional to the high number of polygamous family. Remember, the family is a unit of the society. That means, whatever happens in the family in terms of increase population and child upbringing has it direct impact to the society. I gave you an instance, Northern part of Nigeria where I'm living. It is no news that for every 10 families in that religion, atleast 7 or 8 of them are polygamous. Polygamy is their religious and traditional value. Yet, it is also no news that the highest rate of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, high way robbery, etc happens in that part of the country, compared to what is happening in southern Nigeria where most families currently are monogamous You are not living in Nigeria, so you should listen |
Religion / Re: Can You Answer This Question? by paxonel(m): 10:07am On Mar 24 |
Techobeys:It does! Now, imagine a student for example, who fails to read, and when he fails his exam he blame it to a devil. Does that tell you that a devil truly exist? like what kind of compelling force? I just want to see one practical example you see this type of African fictional beliefs? It is truly not from God. It certainly has no biblical reference. And it is never applicable to reality. It is the key reason why Africans are lagging behind in everything.
Please let's look at the scripture again for confirmation. 2 Corinthians 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. You see now that the scripture specifically mentioned forgiveness? Meaning, if we learn to forgive one another, then there is no devil. Conversely, if we read our books and prepare for our exams, then there is no devil. In general, if we know the right thing to do and we do it, then there is no devil. It's not as if devil is one spirit or person that manipulate people. It is in our doing that determines devil. So devil do not exist in the real sense |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Third Class Graduates: How Do You Feel When Denied A Job Due To Class Of Degree by paxonel(m): 5:56am On Mar 24 |
shortgun:Well,if your case was such that you were given a course you never prepared for in the first place, in addition to that, you had little financial support in school, you will not say this. I had a room mate in my final year back then in school. He applied for medicine in Jamb but he was given wildlife to study. He had decided to continue with the curse since he could not afford to re-write jamb. As at the time we met, he had splilled over twice in final year. We all felt what the guy was going through and had encouraged him. so when he finally graduated with a third class infact we were so happy for him that atleast he graduated. Today, this guy is doing very well. 2 Likes |
Religion / Re: Can You Answer This Question? by paxonel(m): 12:20am On Mar 24 |
Techobeys:in this case, all human experiences have indicated that whether Devil exist or not, it's of no significance to humans alive, therefore it do not really exist. Unlike God who has a huge impact such as creating the air we breath, the clouds, the water and even humans exhibiting his image and likeness through intelligence but there are evidence that it has gravitational pool therefore it is a real matter even though it does not transmit light ? It therefore follows that the existence of black matter or whatever abstract entity, do not really apply to any analogy aiming at the existence of an insignificant devil or Satan. |
Religion / Re: Can You Answer This Question? by paxonel(m): 3:30pm On Mar 23 |
Techobeys:I know that you know this. I'm only saying that my opinion is based on this fact and scripture that you already know, and also that i have never seen Satan before |
Religion / Re: Can You Answer This Question? by paxonel(m): 11:41am On Mar 23 |
Techobeys:well, the only Satan that exist is the one Jesus described as a thief John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. No physical Satan anywhere, we are the architects of our misfortunes, not any Satan. Europeans have understood this a long time ago, that's why they took time to build their world, so that no one will have excuse. But we Africans are always giving excuses that it is one Satan or witchcraft or juju |

Techobeys:So tell me, Have you ever seen devil or Satan in the real sense before? Tell me your experience |
Religion / Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 6:45pm On Mar 22 |
MiddleDimension:dont hype yourself, you can't possibly be right Obviously, you are a foreigner who knows nothing about Africa or 9ja,what can you possibly argue? that's why i smiled and decline responding when i noticed this. The Joyce Mayer case you mentioned is just one out a million. Meanwhile, thousands of polygamous brought-up children especially in Africa are continually faced with lack of fortune and opportunities some of which are depressed,confined and conceded into a perpetual substandard living due to competition for parental attention they had experienced while growing up as children in a polygamous setting. So, polygamy is nothing to write home about, compared to one man one wife blessed unions that have ensured a better upbringing of children and a better society at the long run |

Religion / Re: Baptism Of Fire (should Christians Desire This Kind Of Baptism?) by paxonel(m): 1:01am On Mar 21 |
BAPTISM OF FIRE WHICH IS THE SAME AS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM IN REALITY IS SIMPLY INITIATING ONLY NON CHRISTIANS(eg MUSLIMS) WHO DESIRE TO JOIN CHRISTIANITY. IT WAS NEVER MEANT FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE ALREADY CHRISTIANS AS ALL THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN IT AT THE UPPER ROOM IN THE BOOK OF ACTS OF THE APOSTLES, STARTED BEING CHRISTIANS FROM THE POINT OF THEIR HOLY GHOST BAPTISM AT THE UPPER ROOM, NOT FROM THE TIME THEY HAD WALKED WITH JESUS BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED. YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO WELCOME PARTY FOR OLD MEMBERS. YOU ONLY DO PARTY TO WELCOME NEW COMERS. ALL CHRISTIANS IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR DENOMINATIONS ARE OLD MEMBERS AND DOES NOT NEED ANY BAPTISM WHEN THEY SWITCH CHURCH |

Religion / Re: Why Do Most People Fear Death, Yet It's The Way To Heaven? by paxonel(m): 2:28pm On Mar 17 |
Omooba77:because they were wrongly thought that heaven is a Spiritual place that is beyond this life. They are afraid of death because they are not sure of any other life that is beyond this life inspite the wrong teachings that there is life beyond here. In otherwords, the teachings that there is life in the spirit rhelm beyond this life we are living is false because it does not conform to reality which is life here |

Religion / Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 12:47pm On Mar 17 |
MiddleDimension:sorry to say it was Absolom that raped his step sister It was Ammon that actually raped Tamar, Absolom's sister. Now the question is, if Tamar was Ammon's sister of the same mother, will Ammon rape her? The answer is no! Do you see that polygamy can also cause hatred among siblings, one reason that always makes polygamy to be inferior than monogamy. Because in monogamy, hatred or competition of some sort among siblings are minimal take it or leave it, polygamy has fuelled instability in the society than anything else. If you have ever travelled to northern Nigeria before you will know what I'm talking about. Most people engaging into terrorism, kidnapping and banditry in that part of the country are products of lack of education due to failed family system caused by indiscriminate traditional polygamous policy |
Religion / Re: The Nation Of Israel Was Founded On Polygamy. by paxonel(m): 7:49am On Mar 17 |
MiddleDimension:Happy and well brought up children like Absolom who raped his step sister and wanted to overthrow his father, or Joseph that was sold by his step brothers? Which happy children from polygamous home in the bible are you talking about? Polygamy may guarantee a happy family and well brought up children, but in a very rare case(1 out of 50) especially in Africa where ignorance is revailent. |

When you say you drove 90km with an empty tank what are you trying to portray? That you are special to God than another person who stopped by the way seeking for assistance because his fuel has run out? You must be joking and deceiving yourself, you don't have any testimony.

KnownUnknown:Ok Let's leave the Sahara. How about sub-arctic region that comprises parts of Europe and North America, is the nomenclature "sub-arctic" also demeaning? |
Religion / Re: The Greatest Evil Done To Africa Is Introduction Of Bible God. by paxonel(m): 2:11pm On Mar 12 |
KnownUnknown:you can Google it and see it for yourself Europe can never be precious to me than Africa, it's not possible. And that's why i seek correction of fundamental beliefs and errors originated from both traditional and religious institutions in Africa towards a better society for our posterity. I do not seek to correct ancient European excesses that mostly does not apply anymore in their today modern societies have you taken time to Google the meaning of sub-sahara Africa, what did you see? I never disputed the fact that slavery was, and is still part of Christianity. I only debunked your assertion that Christianity brought the evil experienced today in Africa by saying that the evil was already there before the introduction of Christianity
I can also list unnecessary ritualistic behavior of theists too. Some of them went to drink alcohol to stupor and start having public sex in the name of celebrating their freedom from a god, can you imagine that? no it does! The palestinians and Israelis are both struggling for space and resources. That has nothing to do with religion |
Religion / Re: The Greatest Evil Done To Africa Is Introduction Of Bible God. by paxonel(m): 11:21pm On Mar 11 |
KnownUnknown:the tribe isn't obscure, only that it is one of minority tribe. The Yorubas were known for using fellow humans as sacrifice, killing them to apease orunmila, obatala and sango until they were caught up with modernization just recently. The hausas were known for invading communities and slaughtering their defenseless citizens only to establish centralized caliphates that was used to rule the region as championed by utman Dan fodio of the 15th century. This same mindless killing strategy was later adopted for the spread of Islam in the religion. Though the strategy was traditionally motivated initially. So, you see, religion is never the cause of Africa's problems. The problems have been there long before the introduction of foreign religions |
Religion / Re: The Greatest Evil Done To Africa Is Introduction Of Bible God. by paxonel(m): 10:50pm On Mar 11 |
KnownUnknown:atleast it was excess of a known African culture and was never a culture that was imported from Europe including African cultures too, even long before Sub-Saharan Africans had encountered Europeans. So, it was never a thing imported by the early Christian missionaries mindless rituals like what? Prayer isn't mindless Communion isn't mindless Periodic processions aren't mindless. Do you know what it means to say a ritual is mindless? Most of such rituals involves unjudicious killing or distorting from fellow humans which were a thing of African religious rites And is individualistic, not a function of any religion. There are atheists that lack common sense too… So lack of common sense is not something that can be generalized hastily sources of the same idea are optional. One may choose to get the idea from traditional institutions, another person will maintain his absolute liberty to get it from other means order than traditional institutions, it's a free world. do you have your data? Upload it here what about survival of the fitest, is it inspired by god? |

Religion / Re: At A Time Like This: Do We Have To Increase What We Offer In Church? by paxonel(m): 12:52pm On Mar 10 |
Paying tithe and offering is like paying school fees without getting knowledge of the faith we practice. If pastors are willing to research scriptures and update their doctrines according to how the bible teaches about faith, then we don't have problem giving any amount to the church, it's simple |
