keep saying that subsidy removal without making preparation for the after effects to the economy was a very bad omen.
Goodluck Jonathan had suggested subsidy removal, but was about making preparations for the after effects so that the economy will not be this damaged.
Peter Obi had suggested the same subsidy removal but with plans to implement economic policies that will check or reduce the effects to it minimal.

It takes only educated minds to think that way.
Buhari was not educated enough to rule.

Tinubu is not educacated enough to rule, infact he forged his certificate.
How then can any such uneducated person like Tinubu perform miracle?

The Yoruba people knows these problem yet they pushed the both dullards into power due to tribalism.

Yemi Osibanjo was more equipped educationally.
Even if it was Babatunde Fashiola or even Ambode that they had presented and supported to contest for presidency as educated minds from the south west, atleast the general election would have been free and fair.

But coming out to support an illiterate in mind and certificate forger ancestor called Tinubu all because he is yoruba elder statesman?
It is so absurd.
It is inconsiderate, irresponsible and unreasonable.

Someone like Prof Wole Soyinka who would have known better, is now being stupified by Tribalism.

Una go hear am too now

Nonsense

The church is universal and is not restricted to only some set of people

I have heard some Christians of certain denominations saying that it is only our church will make heaven.
Because our church has the best message of salvation.
Our pastors does not lie.
Women in our church dress modestly.
Men don't use dreadlocks, it is worldly.
We don't invite classical hip hop gospel artists to come and minister, they are of the world.
We don't fornicate
We don't lie
We don't cheat
We don't do politics because it is dirty, we only recognize the government of Jesus Christ.
Our church is the only church that engage in evangelism.
We win souls for Christ more than any other church.
We don't wear white garments and walk bare footed on streets.
We don't go to bar, we don't drink alcohol.
We don't watch television.
No sports
No Entertainment
No leisures
Everything holiness, holiness, holiness.
I must make heaven.

So, these kind of Christians, I will quickly tell them shut up, you are in perpetual bondage

The truth is, as many that has received Christ, to them he gave power to become the sons of God. So it doesn't matter your church denomination or the varieties of what you believe or practice

John 4 V 24 .. God Says he is a Spirit, Whoever that Must Worship Him Must do so in Spirit and in Truth ..


You don't know what you are Talking About by saying the below ..



Spirituality is a vague deception

The Operation of Almighty God is Non Carnal But Spiritual.

Everything About Almighty God is Spiritual ...

He does nothing without His Spirit ,He is not a Human Being ,He is not Flesh .

Man Himself is an Embodiment of Tripartite Nature

Body ,Soul and Spirits .

What Dreams is the Spirit parts of a Man.

Stop the Misinformation about Spiritual Issues..

First of all, get it straight.
When i use the word spirituality, I'm not talking about God who is a spirit or some other kind of Spirits,deities and religions or even doctrinal beliefs of the church or even that of satanism(atheism).
I am talking about ritualism.

Yes, it is true that ritualism is an aspect of spirituality, but there has never been any outcome of fortune or misfortune from any of the practices.
Ritualism generally, whether they are practiced in the church as performing miracles or some sort of group prayer in church, or in a babalawo shrine or any form of incantational practice, are all vague deception, thats what i mean.

And non of such things or practices can affect human destiny

Deepspirituals:
.

Spirituality is a vague deception. Your Own. Personal Opinion.

No!
It is reality
Moreovee, it is also biblical.

1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Currently, the era of spirituality has pass away.
What is greatest now is charity.
..
So, if anybody that is performing spirituality now in this era, whether it is miracles or whatever he is doing, he is clearly deceiving people.
.
The truth is, your destiny is in your hands.
There is nothing like destiny that is prepared in the spirit rhelm.

If you like, let God come down himself and lay hands on you, if don't work towards your goal in life you are a gonna

There is no such thing as destiny, spirituality is a vague deception.
Understand who you are, your talent and your body make up.
Choose a carrier path that corresponnds with your talent and body make up.
Get yourself educated in that aspect of the carrier and focus on it.
Then pursue the carrier as if your life depend on it.

There is nothing like destiny.
There are millions of carriers on earth to pursue, choose one and be good at it

We hardly hear anything about the former President. It is one year now after he left, It seems as if he did not exist in the first place.

Is this how Tinubu will end too?
Because he is trading towards that direction

Eriokanmi:
Did He say that? Lol. Bro, please know your God personally and stop listening to these people. Read your bible and believe in God and His son Jesus Christ. A lot of the so-called men of God will lead many astray. This man has been busy organising conferences and leadership programmes in the US, making money. He's to me more of a business man than a pastor. There are millions back home who are not yet saved, those who are dying in sin in droves. He's not seeing those ones.

mention one pastor in Nigeria who is not a business man

I do not know whether pastors are not aware that they themselves are scammers too, or they know but pretend not to know

Farming isn't meant for everyone.
There is no society in the world that have made a successful economy from having all it citizens farming.

With this, ask yourself what fallacy have i committed in my post?
It is called argumentum ad popululum: meaning, your post appeal to the populace rather than treating the main issue that causes the problem.

You are trying to divert people's mind into Agriculture, but meanwhile the main problem is poor governance.

You also commit hasten generalization when you say because pastors are teaching falsely therefore the bible itself is false

All these long talk is not necessary.

Is God a killer?
Damina said No

He is right

The Bible said Yes

where?

Damina's teachings are at variance with the Bible,

you have not proved it

he's not a pastor.

I'm not interested whether he one or not

Gen 38:7
But Er was a wicked man in the LORD’s sight, so the LORD took his life.

it has absolutely nothing to do with his message in the video.

His message is clear
Jesus christ came that we night have Life, simple

If you cannot comprehend that, it is not his fault

2 Samuel 6:6
The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God.

Gen 38:9-10
But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother’s wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother.
And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also.

This is another thing entirely and has nothing to with what the preacher is passing across

shortgun:
I think you should first listen to the sermon where he said God is not a killer for context

Mr man, the pastor is right!
God doesn't kill!
From the scripture he quoted, this implies that God was never meant to kill but to give life.

You fail to understand that statement in the context of what he preached in that video. He said that Jesus Christ came that they might life, not death.

This has nothing to do with another scripture that says whosever do not believe is condemned already.

Nonsensical fictions

If everyone on NL start saying what they have dreamt last night, you will see that your own na child's play.

Stop disturbing other people with your imaginations

Is there any scripture in the bible showing the payment of dowry?

Who are your enemies, do you really have one?

jaephoenix:
If u call the Bible stories as evidences, would you call the stories in the Quran, Vedas and other holy books evidence? Yes or no? And give reasons

Yes!

Because, the bible mentioned the roles of these religions a long time ago, and that is what they are currently doing.

Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

So both the bible and the books of other religions testify to the existence of a supreme God.

But apart from that, there is something fascinating in the bible which you must see, if you really have the interest to do so.

But if you don't have the interest, no problem.
Because i must also respect your position as an atheist just as i do to adherents of every other religions that i interact with

jaephoenix:
You still manage to shoot yourself in the foot time after time.
So basically what u r saying is anyone born as a Muslim remains Muslim. U stick with the faith u r raised with since you don't need evidence to believe anything. Blind faith is enough.
So its okay to continue in whatever religion my parents give me. So if u believe that diction, then u don't believe in people converting from one religion to another, since they have to keep up the faith they were raised in.
By the way I was raised in a Christian home. Pentecostal to be precise. Became a good Christian. Grew up and realized religion is all about faith. No evidence. None at all. And that is the problem. With faith u can believe anything. And I mean anything. Christians believe they can heal the sick and raise the dead. Muslims believe they got virgins lined up in the afterlife after they blow themselves into oblivion. All with no shred of evidence. That's where my deconversion started. I deal in evidence now, unfortunately

Evidences are boldly written in the bible.
If you had interest to search for it may be you would have been convinced by now.
But how will you start searching a book you don't believe in the first place?

jaephoenix:
Yeah, I thought as much. Instead of countering what I wrote, you totally ignored it and resorted to threats. Its a regular antics deployed by u christians. You guys don't get tired of it. Instead of facing the truth and facts, u resort to the same old stale and empty threats
Never mind I engaged u. A waste of time

you can see that it is not all Christians that do this.
Only some ignorant folks do this

Yet, the same bible, the same religion.

A knowledgeable Christian will defined his religion anyday, anytime without resorting to attacks.

Attacks are signs of weakness, ignorance, lacking what to say when questions arrives

jaephoenix:
So you are saying one should have faith whether one understands the Bible or not, init?

it is personal conviction and should not be done in compulsion.
And moreover, having faith is simple when you were brought up with the faith from childhood.
For instance, if you were brought up as a child in a Christian home there is every assurance that you will end up being a Christian.
Same with other religions
it's simple as that

Are you aware there are thousands of denominations spawning from different (mis)interpretations of the Bible, ranging from Catholism, to Jehovah Witness and Cherubim/Seraphim etc etc. Each strongly believe their own interpretation is legit while the other is wrong, and those would subsequently burn in hell. Yet they all claim to be Christians. And guess what, they all have faith

No doubt, they all have faith.
They are all Christians.
But Christians with variation of understanding one book.

The truth is, the book itself does not depend on anyone.
It came with it own teachings which everyone have to follow.

So obviously having faith isn't enough. You'll have to belong to the 'right' denomination to be deemed eligible for heaven.

you are not getting it
Heaven or Faith, the are the same thing.

That's why i brought out that scripture Matthew 4:17 to know whether you understand.

Heaven, Faith, The kingdom, whatever you want to call it, they are all the same thing.

And i told you that it does not require full understanding of the bible to have faith.
Therefore it does not require full understanding of the bible to make heaven.
It doesn't matter what denomination you belong, whether they teach ignorantly or not, so long you are in the faith you are already in heaven.
But if you are not in the faith you are doomed
.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

jaephoenix:
So in other words, your god sent a book that is not easily interpreted except by a select few, with the rest of the world poorly grasping the gist, and thus losing faith in him. Now answer these questions
1. Would you blame those humans that lost their faith due to a god sending a complex book?

Having faith does not depend on whether you fully understand the book or not

2. What is the fate of those humans that lost their faith due to God's negligence in proving an easily digestible book? Would they still roast eternally in hell?

There is nothing like negligence there.
The book is complex to understand does not stop Faith.
The most important thing is to have faith irrespective of whether you understand it or not.

3. How do u even know your own interpretation is the right one since we don't have the correct template or control to gauge its veracity?
Please answer these questions succinctly and explicitly. Thank you

It is not everyone that is having challenge to understand it.

The way you understand any book you read, you can understand the bible. Only that it requires one to follow the stories precept by precept with comprehension accuracy as if you are studying to write an examination

jaephoenix:
So Africans don't have the perfect interpretations of the Bible? Cool. So why did your god send us a book that is poorly interpreted, especially when he already knew it would be poorly interpreted and mislead folks?

Yes, poorly interpreted at this stage of human history. But it will never always remain like this.

The target of getting it right is the future, perhaps another 1000 years from now.

We all know how science also started primitively some hundreds of years ago. But today, there are advancement of knowledge, and researches for new discoveries are still going on and will continue.
So is every spheres of knowledge including religion

All of them na scam.
The only thing they preach right is Jesus, perhaps to attract people.

Every other thing else they preach after that na scam.

Nevertheless, I still dey take my family to church as usual, because it is the right of the kids to know Jesus

jaephoenix:
It says the kingdom of god is at hand, thus the world may be coming to an end.
So what's your point?

My point is, you did not get the interpretation right.
Perhaps this is how you did not get the whole bible right after reading it. Hence the book is a fairy tale to you.

But you know what?
The content of a book does not depend on anyone's perception. Rather what anyone can get from reading any book will depend on his ability to comprehend it perfectly.

Most pastors and church leaders especially in third world Africa where quality education is not prioritize or put into consideration, are yet to have a perfect comprehension of that book too.

This explains why religion especially in this part of the world, is a sham, hoax and delusive

jaephoenix:
Yup. From Genesis to Revelation, with and without the 'spirit'. All a poorly written fairy tale. Aesop's fairy tales is a better book

Good!

Can you explain this?

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

jaephoenix:
Did the Bible even talk about dinos, never mind debunking it?
The bible is just a fairy tale book

So tell me, have you read the bible before for you to conclude that it is a fairy tale?

delkuf:
Guys, as I write this piece my heart beat with fear and dissatisfaction. I gave my life to Christ on the 16 of March 2009. Oh, that day was a beautiful day. I can't describe how I felt that day. I had this peace that day makes me knew I am born again. But after a year I backslided. I took a wrong decision. Now, since then I can't really live right. I want to do what is right, but I keep failing. The best I could do is to live few weeks and I will find myself doing what I said I don't want to do. I miss that life. I miss serving God with a pure heart. I miss fasting and praying to continue growing in Christ. I miss everything. Is killing me. I don't know what to do. If Christ come again like this, I don't think I will be able to go with him. am not happy. Have tried lot of things, but is not really working. Is like something is there pulling me. Please Christ help me. I want to serve you. if there is any Christian out there, pray for me. I can't continue living like this. I don't know if I should do this here but am just confused right now. No body I can really talk to. My wife is not helping either. just confused right now. please say something reasonable

1. Your confusion has been there since March 2009,you did not give your life to Christ that day but you were made to believe so. You believed the lie that's why you were happy. It was a scam.
2. You did not point out exactly what is your problem.
Are you suffering from measles or it is money you are looking for?
Most people in Africa are always looking for money. If it is money then only you can solve your problem.
Getting money is also a thing of the mind.
It requires some level of education whether it is formal or informal.
Do you want to learn carpentry or fashion designing?
Whatever it is, please take it very seriously.
That's the only way your redemption will come.

You might be interested to know more about this...

Read...https://theskynow.com/2024/05/17/what-the-bible-says-about-dinosaurs/

the bible isn't a science book but religious book.

It was never meant to talk about science or dinosaur and therefore has never in any of it chapter debunked the possibility of dinosaur
