I don't doubt the possibility of the existence of other powers. However, I believe in my creator. I also believe that the things of the spirit will be more understood in the spirit. We may not have all the answers here but we certainly will in the beyond. Remember we are going to transition, so I guess the answers will be more clearer. The One who made the earth and all that is in it is what I'm interested in.


How can Tesla be concerned with Toyota.

Maybe Toyota is in charge of the aliens the whites are looking for

yankeecoder:
Have you ever wondered how HE, the one supreme God most religions worship today got all his powers ? What if there were many other gods even before the existence of time whom HE tricked to merge "some" of their powers with him for the purpose of creation thereby weakening them just so, he may have it all ? I presume this to have happened before the creation of man and the earth we live in

NB: I believe there are higher powers but I refuse to believe, only one exists

What kind of nonsense is this? Which fight? June 12 was only recognized in 2018, is Fani Kayode suggesting he fought with Buhari to change date?

Please what democracy are you all talking about. Abiola did not even get to the presidency. That's a failed fight and that's not democracy. I don't even get the fuss about the June 12, they really need to bring history back. These people are delusional.

Emi lo kan can't face intellectuals. He will seek out agberos, hungry people, fufu brained people and exploit their weakness. He's not a man for the people, Emi lo kan means a selfish person, a person who is concerned about himself. If you've been supporting Emi lo kan, retrace your steps and save your life, your family, your unborn children and your country.

You can't afford to miss it. Nigeria is in a debt trap, security is terrible and we are one step away from anarchy. 2023 is not about politics, its about saving your life. Please regardless of your political affiliations, do the right thing and make the right choice. Political parties come and go, candidates also come and go. However, the mess they leave behind remains with us. We all will benefit from a good government, a good country. If you collect egunje, it will finish for night food.

The politician you are supporting gets millions every month and even after leaving office. You will only see to collect during election, they dump you after that. Please don't sell your conscience, don't sell your vote.

Please vote to change the status quo. We need someone that will disrupt the cycle of the cabals. I don't think Nigerians are looking for a saviour. Instead, we need to get out those long standing politicians that are draining the country. Peter Obi may or may not perform, who knows? But if we don't try something very far fetched, we will never know. Besides, by now it is clear that the long standing politicians are behind the insecurity or gaining from it.

Anyway, we should vote wisely, I think you already know this, because it's obvious the two other candidates are going to make things worse.

tunjijones:
I don't even know who to support in this election.

Tinubu is too old to rule this very complex country and his party even had the audacity to pick a Muslim as a running mate (I know that's the only way they can have a chance). But his past experience and exploits in governance is really speaking for him

For Peter obi, he didn't do much in Anambra (forget all what is supporters are saying online. How wld you return money back to the state account when there are several infrastructures to be built. I think he was clueless on what to use the funds for). But he younger and agile. He is not a saint but he is a lesser thief compared to atiku and tinubu.

For Atiku, I don't even know. He is as much a thief like tinubu but at least he picked a Christian running mate and he has vast experience in governance and has as much international connections as Tinubu.

Kindly advise on who i shd vote for with strong reason. (I have my PVC and I must vote).

FYI, I will not vote a candidate cos of religion or tribe.

Me looking for the pepper in the food. I will choose the French spicy sauce version instead. let me eat my bread with my tongue burning.

You know people have different ideas of what paradise is? Do you think that will work? Some people's paradise is constant sex, while some see it as immorality. You'll still get chaos.

FreeIgboho:
I’d make it exactly how you imagine paradise to be.
(Playing devil’s advocate - I’m no atheist)

This is for you who don't believe in the existence of the creator God. Particularly those who feel if there was a God, all the evils will be wiped away.


So today I want to know, if you were given the powers of a creator, or made God over the earth, what will you do differently? How will you fix this damaged earth. What will be your impact as ruler of the whole universe?

I want to know.

P.S: Christians and Muslims, Please no insults, you're free to input and don't derail the thread thank you.

When someone says they are not into mysticism.. you people will still insist someone is. Worse you're talking about witchcraft and sorcerer.. what's my business with all that. The fact that you dabbled in it doesn't mean everyone has the same experience. Besides empath is an English word, I used it in place of emphathy. Please check your dictionary before you start preaching gibberish for me.

I have a solid foundation in Christianity and I have no interest in dabbling. Thank you.

Davoneskay:
For you to have used the word 'empath', reveals that you are being drawn towards mysticism. I used to be drawn to such until I almost became a sorcerer. Abeg, stay away from anything that exalts itself above the Knowledge of Christ. (2Cor 10:3 - 5). There are more witches, wizards, soucerers, etc than you could ever imagine. They all have one thing in common - THEY LIVE IN BONDAGE!

I just felt like sharing this with not just you but to several others who have such dreams.

Like I said I'm not into mysticism. I don't have business with that or anything related to that. Empath, I don't just feel sympathy, like I care too much, almost putting myself in someone's position.

Yes, I'm an emphath.

Blue86:
Miss Peggy, do you see yourself as someone that cares a lot for people?

No I don't do mysticism. Do White garment churches relate to mysticism? Because this cousins attend them.

Templee333:
Cats in dream are link with mysticism. Are u attracted to black magic or anything mystery? Or it might be that some of ur friends or relatives are mystics. If u aren't careful, u'll be lured into it.

I've had two dreams about cats of late and it's worrisome. I don't have any pet and if I'm getting one, it's definitely not a cat.

Anyway the first dream I was feeding a cat from my plate. While at it, my cousin came to collect it, saying it's her sister's own.

The second dream this came like 6 months after or even more. This time I was looking to buy a white cat.

I was very particular about it being white. Next I'm in a pet shop with lots of cats.. some looking stunted, old, clean dirty. Point is I was surrounded by cats, looking for a white cat. Also I forgot to add, I saw this cousin's mother in the dream. So I don't know if it's unrelated.

Now that's creepy...but on a serious note, should I be worried? Christians I need interpretation inspired by the Holy Spirit.

You people should stop misinterpreting bible. Bible doesn't condemn artificial hair. You people forget that time, seasons, tradition, play a role in the bible. There wasn't even artificial weave in the bible era. Like seriously

I know you wrote this a while ago but my search led me here. Recently I came across the word Hebrewist through dream. I'd never heard about them until today. Apparently I thought Christianity originated from Judaism. But to my surprise Hewbrewism is more of the Abrahamic doctrine than Judaism. It is the purest form of worship of the Almighty God.

I noticed that not much is said about these people instead the internet interchanges them for Jews. Reading all you've written, you made a clear distinction between the Hebrews and the Jews.

My question is what exactly happened and why are Christians not aware of this? Does it mean that the purpose of Jesus Christ was tampered by the Romans and Jews? If so, that's really messed up.

Ogamysamo:
The Hebrews And The Jews Seems To Be Same People But They Are Never One As Not All Hebrews Are Jews.

Hebrew Is A Name Which Was First Found In The Book Of Gen. 14:13 was A Name Used Specifically On Abraham the Circumcised Only, but Unfortunately Not All His Circumcised decendants where Able To Answer This Name But The Promised Descendant And So Was Given to A Nation (Israel). Israel Failed In Their Responsibility To Make The Name receive An Absolute Recognition Approval From God Hence Abandoned It For A More Willing And Obedient Tribe Which Is The Tribe Of Judah, Judaite seems To Make No Sense So They Where Regarded As Jews. Through Which Came To Promised Son Of God And Saviour Of The World

As you read this letter didn't you laugh? She has potential, if she could compose this herself in JSS 2. She has a good sense of humour but you can counsel her.

Don't vent your anger on the poor kid. Anyway I'm impressed, anyway...tell her not to start sentences with "And". Also tell her that she wrote an informal letter like to a friend. A formal letter should not have your inner thoughts.

Also take note of the corrections she pointed out. She only voiced out what others are not confident to say, please speak louder. She wasn't insulting you. She's just very outspoken and bold.

Tonnierichy:
These are the kind of students we teach in schools now. They will soo frustrate your life and there is nothing you can do about it. Beat them and land in Cell.

I sent this particular female pupil to report herself to the principal that she was mocking me in class. She went there confidently and returned with a smug face, telling me principal asked her to tell me sorry.

I looked at her unconvinced that she went to the principal. Well I later realised she actually did and the principal didn't take it seriously.

I then asked her to write an apology letter. She went and came back with this piece below.....



APOLOGY LETTER

This is to write that I'm sorry for the disturbance I made in the class. And I'm sorry for the insult if you think that is the way it looks and I'm using this to make a statement too that I disturbed Mr Anthony. But I don't see it as an insult or an offence but I'm sorry for my wrong deeds. And I will not do it again.

During class I will listen attentively.

And also please increase your voice when teaching or explaining or teaching your subject so that it will be interesting.

Sorry for the wrong deed and mistake I have done.

Yours faithfully

Jagabanofafrica:
I dont know, IPOB are useless, why shouting yoruba christians .. yorubas are one, Our language first before religion ...

You mentioned yoruba christians, dont forget that Madam Oluremi Tinubu is part of yoruba christians'


IPOB are fool

Why now? The question what benefit has Islam brought to Nigeria? You asked what has Christianity brought? I answered.

Now you're going after poor atheists? The question wasn't about individuals and you've offended atheists by tagging them as a religious organization.

So answer the question, what benefits have Islam brought to Nigeria? Just name them

AntiChristian:
Atheist too do all this as well as many foundations! Dangote foundation and Ganduje foundation have doing these for tens of years!

Talk another one!

Since you asked nicely:

Healing,
deliverance,
repentance (less crime),
love (Teach people not to kill or take revenge),
charity,
education,
wealth creation,
youth empowerment, or training
Marriages
Child bearing or fruitfulness
Hospitals and medical innovation
Mentorship
Community development
Some churches have built roads, boreholes for the community
There's more but that's all I can think of for now

AntiChristian:
You should list what Christianity has brought instead?

All those prayers, vigils, crusades, bus preaching, street preaching, revivals, mass, tract sharing, etc. Of what use has it been?

All of the above.

HarlequinLekex:
Is it one's dinner or one's state of mind or it is natural or has to do with spiritual revelation from God?

Women need a whole attitude adjustment. I will not even vote for someone like Funke Akindele who is already marred with bad boss attitude. Whether the allegations hold water is irrelevant, the fact that it has been raised is enough to tell me she will be a bad leader. So she should rest, I hate APC but unfortunately, they will still hold Lagos. PDP is not serious about occupying lagos, when they are ready, they will bring the right candidates.

Please don't take this advise I beg o. Don't put sniper near your skin. It's just as dangerous. In fact don't touch sniper. Use other methods to trap the rat or poison it.

Kobojunkie:
In the year 2022, you don't know how to get rid of rat problems?

If the rats eat your toes, then wear socks soacked and dried in sniper poison- so when the rats comes again, they eat and die.

Soul is not spirit. I repeat soul is not the same as spirit.

Now that that's established. Soul is the breath of life that God gave man. It goes back to the creator after we die. We are spirit, are body is the flesh that houses the spirit. Remember God made us in his image..which means God is spirit and so are we.

But the soul is what binds the body with the spirit, it gives the spirit license to live in the body. Once the breath of life (soul) goes out, the spirit separates from the body.

If you've been around a dying person, you will notice when they take their last breath, that's the soul leaving.

I don't know if it's attached to anything but wings? That's cool. Anyway you mentioned you were afraid? You know exactly what it means, you just have to reflect on yourself and find your way.

Or it could be you're like a new bird you're learning to fly. You probably have tough decisions to make or about to make one. It's called a leap of faith, maybe that's what you need.

Ekejoestar:
I saw myself as an angel in my dream, but from my understanding in the dream I couldn't fly as high as I used to do before and the reason is because it's been a long time I used my wings last and I was afraid of heights subconsciously. I could only fly low above low bungalows.

Someone like God told me the solution to the issue, I don't want to say it here.

Pls who can help me with the interpretation.

The whites are more more spiritual than we are. However, they are not religious that's our work.

Op I agree with you that through salvation of Jesus Christ we are saved. However, what is the salvation of Jesus Jesus Christ? And why did you think Jesus said "It is finished" on the cross? He said so because he had accomplished everything and his purpose on earth. We too have a purpose and we too will answer to it at the judgement.

Jesus Christ came for one purpose alone to reveal the truth of the Kingdom of God. There are several quotations in the bible where Jesus mentions how very difficult it is to make heaven.

One was where he mentioned "It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle but difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God"

Another one was " the way to salvation is very narrow but the road to destruction is wide".

That's Matthew 7: 13-14
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it"

He even told us whoever will follow him will need to take up their cross. Which means, we have to choose our path, face the test of righteousness and salvation. A cross is a burden not a bed of roses.

The list goes on, but I hope you get the point. It's a start to believe in Jesus Christ, it's another thing to do all that he had taught in the bible.

So please stop this doctrine of anyone who beliefs will be saved. Anyone who believes and obeys God will be saved. Jesus Christ said while on earth, he only did what he saw his father doing. He said his father is in him and he is in his father.

That is enough saying that he was obedient to God, he loved God, and he was living his life like God. When people see you, they'll probably say, you look like your father, but that doesn't mean that you bear all his traits.

However, Jesus wanted us to be like God, he made us know that we could imbibe the traits of God. So please, salvation is a very narrow road, and not everyone will find it in conclusion.

Why do I feel this attack was staged? Considering our famous liar put it out that it is not a religious matter but criminals. Looks very much like they tried to convince us it's so.

Anyway I don't believe it. People are actually being killed in the North and Christians are being targeted. Please hold your PVC and vote wisely. Vote Peter Obi.

There's one thing you should understand, nobody dispute's that the master Teacher is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's purpose on earth was to reveal the truth and the kingdom of God.

Now, he appointed messengers called disciples to teach them the truth and their mandate was to spread the truth or gospel across the world. So they fulfilled this and that's why we know the truth today. However, it doesn't change the fact that the truth and the message of the gospel is only from Jesus Christ. He is the word of God remember? So basically, we all have a mandate to spread the truth of Jesus Christ. So there's no need for back and forth.

If you don't want to praise Jesus, it's your choice. There are lots of places in the Bible that tell otherwise but I guess you have to still keep reading and do bible study with other believers. You can't study scripture and interpret it alone.

Kobojunkie:
1. Interesting!

You claim there is no hidden meaning yet rather than seek to then comprehend what is written as is it written, you insist you must interprete it implying there is a hidden meaning of sorts. You insist your interpretation is of what is written yet I directly contracts what is in fact written, care to explain why?

2a. Your gatherings were you set yourselves up as teachers to each other is instead what I made clear Jesus Christ is against. You are right that He isn't against gatherings , after all He too gathers to Himself His own Church which He built Himself.

2b. And about reading and "interpreting" scripture alone, are you implying that those who listen and obey Jesus Christ's command to have Him as their only Teacher where it concerns the Kingdom of God, these individuals are alone, even when Jesus Christ is with them?

I am not insinuating anything. That's the interpretation of those verses. There's no hidden meaning to it. Now if you don't want to praise Jesus, that's up to you but using that scripture is a complete misrepresentation of it.

Jesus Christ is not against gathering. Even Jesus Christ went to the temple to learn the scriptures. He also taught the scriptures to others in the temple. Jesus gathered people when he fed 5,000. He was always in a gathering. So when I say assemble or gathering, you can interpret it whichever way you want, but people don't just read and interpret scripture alone, it will certainly be misinterpreted like you have done in this case.

Why did Jesus Christ have need for disciples? Why did the disciples have need for apostles? And if the message had ended after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, do you think it would have reached the dark continent of Africa? Kobojunkie, repent and go back to God. Body of Christ does not mean one person. Stop debating scripture you have no understanding of and get wisdom.

Kobojunkie:
1. But your gatherings are against Jesus Christ who instead said that He alone is Teacher to each and every one who belongs to Him - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10 from Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 - , insinuating that no other is to sit as Teacher to anyone who belongs to Him. So, if you all gather together, as you claim, to teach each other, don't you all do so in sin against Jesus Christ?

2. So because within the same context, Jesus Christ condemned men who seek praise for themselves, His own declaration that He does not desire praise from any human in John 5 vs 41 should be ignored?

3. I know what you are attempting to insinuate but the statement recorded in John 5 vs 41 was not a conditional or a comparison as you pretend, but instead absolute, a declaration, made by Jesus Christ.
If you carefully digest what is written as it is written, surely you should see that you give glory in vain to one who does not accept glory from people?

4. So when Jesus Christ said, "I do not accept glory from people", He really didn't really mean all people?

What Jesus Christ instead meant to say was that He does not value praises or receive from people who seek praises from others only?

Kobo Kobo.. that is the reason why the body of Christ must assemble, to teach and understand the word of God. You will continue to misinterpret scriptures when you become an island and it makes me wonder what level of education you have.

According to John 5: 40-44 that you quoted. The scripture doesn't talk about praising Jesus.

Jesus was condemning their eye service. He said people like to praise or complement themselves. They are not concerned about what God thinks about them.

For instance, if I donate 5 million naira to someone, they will thank me and keep on doing so anytime they see me. Even though I'm bad to staff, and I don't do the right things, I would rather hear people thank me and recognise me for what I've done. But Jesus is saying none of that matters except I'm getting praise from God. Which in this case none of these people care whether they are doing good in sight of God nor even believe in God.

Jesus doesn't value their praises since they have no love for God. Chikina simple and periodt.

Kobojunkie:
Why Do you Praise the name of Jesus Christ when He said not to?

---

Jesus Christ explicitly stated that He does not seek nor desire praise from any human being. He discouraged the praising of His person by humans.
The same Jesus Christ said that those who do what He commands are those who belong to Him.
So why then do you praise Jesus Christ, against His own decree, yet believe yourself to be of Him?

I don't doubt that people tell stories. However, I'm sure that if I'm concerned about finding out the truth I'll go see for myself. Not disputing everything people say and calling them unreal. The truth is there is no competition in the morgue business, there's also no threat to their jobs, so I don't think scaring people is necessary. It's no different than joining the military, or some other kind of jobs people don't want to do.

lilvicky68:
Those mortuary like telling those stories to discourage people from applying for their job so they can enjoy the money alone without too much competition

There are some people that will always remain doubting Thomases. But tell them to go and stay in a morgue for a week, they won't. You don't believe because people are telling stories but you won't investigate yourself. Morgues are not far away, have you tried visiting one?

God1000:
this is what I'm saying, a lot of such stories from people working there, can all of them tell lie

I'm not surprised. The same set of people rotating power among themselves. They fight dirty because they have nothing to offer. While youths bag degrees, masters and PhDs only for the illiterate leaders to give them npower 30k and other worthless programs.

We youths even betray ourselves to collect crumbs from these people we are more qualified than. In developed countries, we have even Nigerian educated youths in their 30s holding senate and parliamentary positions. But here, the youths wield the guns while the illiterate grandpa's hold the power.

I wonder if INEC will remain complicit or follow the law. How can a candidate bear another name on his certificate without proof of change of name. When has affidavit become proof of change of name when there is a legal procedure for such.

Please atiku and Tinubu supporters, do you love Nigeria? Or do you only love your pockets? Do you want a better future for your generations? Do you want a better life for your family? Insecurity will get to you one day, or your family, if you don't put in right leaders. Leaders that are not only intellectually sound, but have no criminal record. Leaders without a taint in their name and have integrity. Leaders that are ready to serve you.

8 years is a long time to make another grave mistake. Choose your country over politics. Choose your country over tribal and religious differences. Please save Nigeria, and vote in the right candidate. Save your future, and save Nigeria.
