Education › 5 Teachings Of The Jehovah Witness That Other Christians Can't Reconcile With by philfearon(op):
Jehovah Witnesses take each other as a tight knit global family united by a common cause. Although they agree with some of the core doctrines of the early church, there are divergent views on the interpretation of certain parts of the Bible by the sect.

Here are 5 Teachings of the JW that are Different from Consensus Christian Beliefs -

1) Resurrection Teachings

The Witnesses believe that there will be a resurrection. However, they differ on how it will occur. According to them, Jehovah will raise the “righteous” and “unrighteous” on the Day of Judgment but will leave the evil ones to perish forever.

2) Lack of belief in the Trinity Doctrine.

The JW don't subscribe to the Trinity Gospel as peddled by some Christian groups.

For them, there is only Jehovah.

3) Do not believe that Salvation can be earned

Salvation can only be gotten by the grace of God.

4) ) Lack of Belief in Hell

For them, a loving God can't possibly roast his children in hell forever. They believe it is unlike God.

5) Earth is Eternal Home of Man

They also don't subscribe to the popularly held notion of a kingdom in heaven. For them, earth is man's eternal home. It will be made a paradise after the final resurrection.

Christianity Etc › 5 Catholic Church Practices And Doctrines That Protestants Don’t Indulge In by philfearon(op): 8:45am On Jul 04, 2021
The Catholic Church is the largest congregation of Christians in the world. From history, they wielded huge influence in the beginning of Christendom and still continue to do so today. They also have the biggest repository of Christian related records till date. They have always given prominence to the Bible and church traditions in development of their doctrines, teachings and liturgical practices.

Some of the doctrines taught by them eventually led to some members quitting the community. Most cited that some of the practices are contradictory to the Bible itself. Some of those who left the mother church formed new communities with people who shared their views. They were later referred to as Protestants.

Celebrities › Check Out How Far Members Of Band Group ‘one Direction” Have Come Since Breakup by philfearon(op): 7:04am On Jul 03, 2021
One Direction is an Irish pop band that started their career in London around 2010 after shining in The X Factor series. But, it was the “WHERE WE ARE TOUR” that admittedly made the group a global sensation when they made history with it. The “Where We Are Tour” grossed a whopping $290.2m, the highest grossing by any vocal group at the time and probably till date.

I have to admit; One Direction was one of my favorite Rock bands. Their music was quite different and ticked the entire right button. The boyish charm, fun, entertainment and a love for the craft of music composition apparently brought together a group of friends who decided to give us some of the best musical hits.

One Direction were especially aided in their music career by the hysteria and euphoria of the early social media craze, making them very popular teen sensations with chart topping songs and albums. Sergio Ramos, former Real Madrid Captain once stated that he always likes rolling to 1D songs.

Romance › Did You Know It Will Take A Girl 6 Months To Completely Forgive You? by philfearon(op): 9:10am On Jul 02, 2021
Like Psychologists have pointed out, anger permeates deep into your subconscious where it becomes harder to let go completely until at least 6 months have passed. As you know, your subconscious mind is responsible for those involuntary thoughts that flip into your brain at random. It takes 6 – 8 months for the brain to process complete forgiveness.

Education › Psychology: It Takes The Brain 6 – 8 Months To Process Complete Forgiveness by philfearon(op): 8:54am On Jul 02, 2021
Some people find it hard to forgive others especially when they have been wronged to a great extent. As a matter of speaking, there are acts which many people will simply tell you it’s unforgivable on their end. Yeah, some peculiar acts can cause that.

As most religious doctrines teach, forgiveness has to come from the heart. It doesn’t just need to come from the inner mind, it has to be complete too for proper healing of the person from the offence that unleashed the unforgiving spirit in the individual with respect to that singular act.

Psychology tells us that it takes about 6 – 8 months before you can completely process forgiveness. In other words, you won’t totally heal from the said act until certain amount of time has passed. But, this is not a justification to stay angry.

Politics › Nnamdi Kanu’s Brother Calls On British High Commission For “immediate" Release by philfearon(op): 3:24am On Jul 01, 2021

Romance › 5 Lessons For Married Nigerian Men From The Chidinma And Osifo-ataga Murder by philfearon(op): 9:52am On Jun 30, 2021
The Nigerian cyberspace is currently filled with news and stories about a murder incident involving one Osifo-Ataga. It is worrisome that despite the continued spite at cheating partners, some people will still find a way to break their marital vows. But, in doing this they hope it stays a secret – until, it is not a secret anymore.

Nothing good ever came out from cheating. It wasn’t long ago when a video went viral about a woman who allegedly poisoned her husband for cheating and filmed the husband choking to death. Though it may be different people this time around, the story bears familiar theme.

Here are lessons we can all learn from this unfortunate incident –

1. If You Are Married, Realize that You Have Willingly made yourself Exclusive

When you tied the knot, you made a vow. It is believed that you made the dedication of your own accord. Therefore, the society and your God expects you to keep it that way. It is honorable to divorce and pursue your pleasurable dreams. But, if you are legally married, please obey the sanctity of the union and your marriage vows.

2. Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing are Always Prowling Around Looking for whom to Devour

Cheating can lead to blackmail. The person who has nothing to lose from the relationship may simply decide to blackmail the cheating partner for one reason or the other. Apart from that, you can always fall prey to wolves who may at first pretend to be sheep just to make you lower your guards. Once your guards are down, they strike. It never ends well most of the time.

Education › Mongolia: This Country’s Location Gives Them $250billion Free Defense Protection by philfearon(op): 10:47am On Jun 28, 2021
The Mongolians once ruled a vast majority of the areas surrounding modern day Mongolia. At the peak of the Mongol empire, it had up to 9 million square miles of territory.

In modern day however, the current Mongolia officially gained it’s independence on December 29, 1911 from the Qing dynasty. But, the Republic of China recognized the independence on January 5, 1946.
Mongolia is probably one of the luckiest countries as it is. Despite it’s earlier squabbles with the Chinese and Russian Government’s, it has secured peaceful diplomatic relations with both nations.

The former world power currently sits between Russia and China, giving them free $250billion protection. What this means is that any foreign invader that wants to attack them must subdue either the Chinese or Russian military before gaining access to the Mongolians.

Christianity Etc › Pastor Joseph Prophesy That A Bbnaija 2021 Housemate Will Set The House Ablaze by philfearon(op): 9:59am On Jun 27, 2021
Pastor Omotosho Tope Joseph of Word Diet International Gospel Church has released a new prophecy about the often talked about Big Brother Naija show.

The pastor said –

“I see God hijacking this year Big Brother Naija. Watch this prophecy, it will come to pass, one of them shall set the house ablaze for Jesus” he revealed.

Word Diet Church has over 73,000 followers on Facebook, a platform that the ordained minister uses to spread his message of the gospel.

According to Pastor Joseph, he is out to facilitate the reawakening of the human soul so that it could align with the dictates of God. Once the soul is reunited with it’s creator, only then can the soul be fully reconciled with God, he has been noted as saying. He has also delivered some prophecies in the past.

AfroKnight:
Don’t mind op. Smoking anything is bad. Whether it’s weed or tobacco or shisha or pawpaw leaf or Colorado or whatever. When you inhale smoke you are also inhaling carcinogens.

The medicinal component in weed does not need to be smoked for it to function. People just smoke because they want to.

I can’t marry a stoner babe or have a kid with her. I fit date her though. Why? Cos stoners don’t admit that they are addicted. Also, even if they restrain themselves in the beginning, they will eventually smoke in the presence of their little babies. And that’s a health risk for the baby.
Nice points

Someone once said that if you caught your girlfriend smoking weed and ask her to choose between you and pot – she might actually choose marijuana over you.

There are so many reasons why people smoke weed. Some may be health related, while others may just be for relaxation. Whichever be the case, marijuana is addictive and there’s a possibility that it is going to create an addicting dependence for those who abuse it.

On the one part of the equation are the people who don’t like pot. They don’t want to have anything to do with it, especially because of the bad stigmatization attached to the plant and people who smoke it.

Sports › Bayern Munich Star, Davies Uses Picture Of Messi Helping Him Up As Wallpaper by philfearon(op): 7:55am On Jun 25, 2021
Davies is a Canadian football player who was signed by Bayern Munich in 2019 after he became a sensation in America. His transfer to the Bavarian giants was one of the costliest transfers in MLS history back then.

After he settled in at his new club, Davies went on to exhibit the same excellence that landed him at Bayern. His efforts in the 2019/2020 campaign didn't go unnoticed as he was named the Bundesliga "Rookie of the Season".

His Bayern Munich team conquered Europe, taking home all trophies within their reach, including the highly coveted UEFA Champions League trophy.

On their way to becoming UCL champions, they faced FC Barcelona in the quarter finals, humbling the Catalan giants in a one sided game that saw Bayern Munich score eight [8] goals on the night. Barca's two (2) goals that day was not enough to save them from the humiliation.

However, the victory was not the only thing that Davies took home that night. He made a portrait of Messi giving him a helping hand when he was down during that match.

This is significant in so many ways. Most American football players see Messi as an inspiration. So, it is not uncommon that Davies also share the same feeling. Also, he is left footed like Messi and since his coming to Europe, everything has worked out just well.

What do you think?
