Christianity Etc › Neojudaism And Pseudochristainity by pressplay411(op): 6:40pm On Dec 03, 2017
NeoJudaism or PseudoChristainity

The church has been subjected to a plethora of attacks in recent times. More Christians are losing their faith in God due to activities and malpractice in the church contravening the word of God.
Let's embark on a journey of time travel as we together unravel and identify the problem, because only then can we administer the antidote and solution to this malady and pollution.

God called Abraham to establish with him a new Covenant to depart from his father's land to a land He would provide, a land flowing with milk and honey where He would make him Father of many nations. This nation would become Israel, God's chosen people.
Through Moses, Israel beheld the Glory of God with a Supernatural Deliverance from the Egyptian bondage and Salvation from their Burdens. God, in this process established through Moses the Law of the10 Commandments. Other laws followed, then more laws followed.

But the temples soon became a business venture. The laws became a bondage for Israelites. The burden of living by the laws became so great, even greater than the Egyptian bondage. They lamented and cried to God.
God heard the cries of the Israelites and through his Prophets he promised them a Messiah.

Jesus Christ was born. He came to free the Israelites from the burden of the Temples, from the Pharisees and Sadducees, from the endless sacrifices of sin, tithes, thanksgiving, offerings, etc. He preached the Salvation of Love.
He preached against Salvation in the law. According to Jesus, no one could ever attain salvation under the law. He therefore abolished living by the old laws. (Romans 3:20-24, Luke 20:46-47)

This was unacceptable to the establishment of the Temple, the Pharisees and Sadducees. They were enraged. Who is this man preaching Love and posing a threat to their source of Livelihood? He must be eliminated. To make matters worse, Jesus rode into Jerusalem (the headquarter of Judaism) like a King, as the Messiah. To bury them completely, he disrupted the temple for Turning His Father's house to a place of business. (John 2:16)

Long story short, the establishment of the Temple got him charged for Treason, tried and crucified. All to fulfill the prophecy. (Isaiah 53:1-12) But they did not stop there, they continued to persecute the apostles but unfortunately for them the Body of Christ continued to grow as the Kingdom of heaven is today established all over the earth.

Now let's time travel back to the Body of Christ today. Jesus Christ opposed the laws of the Jews which had become a burden on God's people, and for that he sacrificed his life, was afflicted for our sins and was crucified that we may find Salvation, Live in Love and be Glorified on Judgement Day.

Today many Christians are enslaved and enburdened with those same Laws of the Jews. Churches have become like the Temples of old and have been turned to business places, robbers den. Love of God, Self and Neighbour is secondary. What takes centre stage is Offerings and Tithe, Finance and Business.

Let's retrace our steps as Christians. Let's ask ourselves why there are more churches, yet less godliness, less love, less progress.
God's WORD is always the solution.
The devil has penetrated and adulterated the church with misinterpretations of the WORD. Jewish laws are being indoctrinated into Christianity.
If the word is not properly taught where you fellowship, find a better local assembly where it is taught right. Let's live by the WORD and guidance of the Holy Spirit that the Body of Christ will be glorified and edified, then all our needs will be met. (Matthew 6:31-33)

Why would you think I have a beef with him?


Stating ones opinion without mixing it up with sentiments shouldn't be seen as taking it personal or "beefing".

I think he's a great musician, but I had to correct your statement about him "dominating" ( which you've corrected of course) the "international market".
Point of correction. You only corrected your own misconstrusion. Once again I clearly said he penetrated you saw dominated.

Whether or not you agree, Wiz is hotter internationally even Davido couldn't deny the fact.
He's achieved international acclaim.
About One Dance, while you were hating on him he was busy packing accolades. You clearly missed the part where he got ASCAP award for being the songwriter.
Moral of the story, You can be a Davido fan and still be a Wizkid fan, it's allowed.

One dance was not done by wizkid, though he was featured his impact In the song wasn't felt either.


Wizkid dominates the international market? how if I may ask? how many of his songs have topped the billboard hot 100s, how many gramys has he won? Nigerians are the ones that regard him as international, but in reality You can't even compare him to Dej Loof, in the international scene.
Ddn't say he dominated, I said he penetrated.
If you have friends abroad esp US, ask them.
But wait, this ur beef with Wiz is becoming personal, he snatch ur bae??

peacesamuel94:
Yea, one actually deserved his, at least we can pin point the song that got him the award , no other artist in his category produced a song that could beat it, so his winning best African act, is quite understandable.


But for the other, how he got to win his, is quite mysterious, there's no tangible song to point to, even "come closer" is not big enough a song to compare to those produced by Drake and Jay Z, whose songs on YouTube record hundreds of millions in views, unlike come closer with even lesser views than IF.

So the question is how did he win? did he merit it? on what basis is the best "international act" selected, is Wizkid an artist with a greater international impact than Drake and JAYZ.

I guess you know the answer to the above questions, you don't need above average IQ to know that his win was based on sentiment, not merit. peace#

Note: I'm a Fan of neither, just trying to be Objective.
It's pretty obvious Wizkid's sound is influencing international music. Kinda like what Eazi did to Nigerian sound this year.
We're not feeling his impact like they are over there. From One Dance to Come Closer among other big features. Even Joe Budden had to call out American artists biting Wizkid s sound without giving him his due credit.
Yrs Davido dominates Africa, but Wizkid penetrated international markets better.

It doesn't change the fact that one went there to perform for the other,while he won the biggest award of the night!! Take it or live it,if Wiz had not won anything that night I swear Nigeria no go let am stay.. U won MTV Ema and u think that's where life ends? God no dey sleep
You're clearly a Davido fan. They both doing well for themselves bro.
Christianity Etc › Re: Lanre Teriba Blasts Daddy Freeze, Backs Pastor Ashimolowo On Tithing by pressplay411(m):
Narldon:


If u thoroughly read this post;

You will understand and give a deep thought into this matter, you will have no option than to agree that the issue is similar to what might have happened or occurred or even a resemblance of something that will definitely elude a mere human prowess and finally come to the conclusion that I have nothing to say.

I want a refund! For my wasted time. cheesy

On the issue of Freeze VS Nigerian pastor, well all I have to say is if the sheeple don't want to be freed biko leave them.
Freeze has consistently challenged the pastors to justify tithing which unfortunately no pastor has been able, instead they direct curses and personal rhetorics which bears similitude to the defense strategy adopted by guilty suspects in court.

Tithing is not a Christian practice, it's Jewish as it is Only obtainable in old testament.
But there's no where in the new testament where it is forbidden to pay tithe so if anyone's faith is in Tithing, by all means let them tithe.
If yours isn't, give cheerfully.

Fact. We've created a compendium of illicit, illegal and illegitimately raised citizenry. It all starts from the home, when the honest sibling is mocked for his honesty while the "sharp" one is commented as being the better.
Now the chicken is come to roost, of course the society bears the brunt.
Pick 10 at random and I assure you that only 1 has integrity. How will Nigeria ever progress??

It's been a great year for Nigeria musically. From major international collaborations to ground breaking management deals and recently unprecedented award recognitions. Two of our greatest exports Wizkid and Davido are without a doubt flying the green flag across borders and making international brands want a taste of Nigeria.

MOBO awards is a stamp to the fact with Wizkid out shining Jay Z, Drake, Kendrock among other big acts to pick up Best International Act. Davido recording the first stage performance by an African act. It was indeed a night that would keep reverberating for years to come.

One thing strikes the attention in all these. The long standing beef between these two has been a driving force spurring their competitive spirits to outdo, outsing, outpreform and outclass each other.
It propelled them to dominate the Nigerian music scene. It propelled them to take over Africa and now it has propelled them into the International markets. Even though fans want them to squash their beef, support each other and even give us a monster collabo, the efficacy of their beef cannot be denied.
Who knows, Perhaps, it might even win them a Grammy some day.

Most feminists are from only girls families or raised by single mothers.
Raise a girl right and she would never consider herself equal to a man but only sue for equal rights and opportunities.
Imagine complimenting a girl that she drives so good like a man. Biko is this not a good compliment? A freaking feminist finds this offensive.
But don't worry, we understand your problem, Feminism is all these single girls explanation of why they're not yet married.
You'll never see a married girl shouting I'm a feminist.
When reality dawns on you that all your friends are married, you will become a masculinist by force. Oshi.

Before we point fingers at companies for laying off staff, let's judge our staff character and attitude.
Most of these online retails suffer huge losses simply on the lack of integrity of the average Nigerians.
From merchants to quality control to inventory managers to despatchers, they level of malpractice is alarming.
The average Nigerian mistakes being a thief as being sharp. And that's how we keep killing our businesses and ultimately ourselves.

That Jakande gate is something else. A lot of demolishings need to be done there.
The death toll on that iyana Ejigbo - Oke Afa Axis between last month and this month alone is alarming.
The road is a death trap not because it's bad but because of reckless driving and indiscriminate flouting of traffic laws. Bikes, Napep and Cars all tow one-way driving against traffic without fear even at the full sight of clueless traffic wardens and officers.
I wonder how many have to die before Govt decides its time to take deliberate steps to protect the lives of its commuters.
It's a daily scare and testimony plying that road.
LASG needs to be strict on its traffic laws across the state to help minimise traffic gridlock and most especially to secure safe roads for commuters.

slight difference

I'm not sure there's a creator

even if there's a creator, it is definitely not Yahweh

let me use an analogy

I'm not sure if you have a bank account or not

but if you have, I'm sure you don't have up to £1tr
That there's a creator goes without saying. Nothing comes out of nothing. But that the one true God is the Christian God is still an acceptable and valid argument. Only through witnessing can you experience Him.

This requires a very simple yet so great step. Humility. Shed your pride, cast down your crown and drop the chip over your shoulder. This goes against everything you presently believe in. It's irreconcilable to your human intellect but that's normal. Spiritual matters are beyond scientific comprehension.
All you need do is find a good worship centre or local assembly where his word is taught by an anointed teacher. It's a rousing experience.

From an ex; atheist, anti-god, anti-christ just like you and several Nairalanders. Good luck. Jesus Loves You Still, Unconditionally.

Career › Here's The Problem With Speaking Local Dialect In The Office by pressplay411(op): 4:09pm On Nov 13, 2017
For starters speaking any other language within a professional environment is unprofessional.
Have you ever worked in an organisation that boasts of graduate employees only for your co-staff to be speaking yoruba or igbo indiscriminately only correcting themselves when internal control is around?

Here are few reasons why you should stop it today.

-It reduces the organisation's brand.
-It reduces the value of your services especially of your services are targeted at high networth clients.
-It creates diversity within the office environment.
-Ethic barriers are created leading to hostile office environment and reducing interaction among staff.
-While it helps clients feel at home, over-indulgemce with clients should be avoided.
-You're a graduate, your should sound like one and be able to express yourself fluently in English.

Of course occasional speaking in local dialect is inevitable especially when there's a hot gist to serve, but it should be curtailed and reduced.
