Cyracks: Something tells me i have one and it has been impeding on anything i intend doing. how can i solve it? please i need honest and serious replies.

Contact a serious person (not many) and never in a forum or internet

LilMizzGood: typical Nigerian, your the one that should have a open mind here. Wait are you in one of them relationship that's why you are talking Poo for FYI I'm a Nigerian ok i know the rules I'm just asking a simple question. no fex oo because your little sister got married before you, your own will come soon in Jesus Name.

Ifyalways is an educated person. I think she deserves respect.

What you quote are traditions.
There may be better than the African traditions, for example, in USA a twelve-year-old can start a promiscuous sexual life without that surprised. Also in USA at a young age can consume any kind of drug ...
Each country has its traditions ... customs.
Some may seem silly, but if you analyze why? we may have an answer. Personally, I prefer these African traditions to the U.S..
They are ways of seeing life.

It's awesome.
Each print has a message.
Possibly for my taste is a bit tragic, do not make me one of those tattoos on my body ...
But it is certainly something amazing!
Very good contribution dear friend!

Jukun performing religious ceremony.

Nice! Nice!
Is Hausa?

hrhobi1: IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE DURING AN EPILEPSY ATTACK MY BROTHER YOU WILL KNOW THAT EPILEPSY IS A DEMON THAT COMES INTO THAT PERSON FOR A WHILE, ITS SPIRITUAL AND I BELIEVE PRAYER FROM A SINCERE MAN OF GOD CAN CURE IT.

This is typical of cases generated by religious fanaticism.
irony:
My friend, if a family member suffers an epileptic fit, do not call the doctor, pray a lot ... throw the demon of the body of their relative. Call the pastor ... Do not give medicines ... God will defeat Satan
Alleluia!
After the funeral of his familiar, you will be favored with a stint in prison for failure to support ... All ewso be the work of Satan ...
But that is not important, you must fight Satan, Alleluia!
(I think there are people who lost their neurons ... fell by the ears!)
What ignorance! That blind fanaticism!

I'm not an atheist, but I see with great concern as believers, when they talk to an atheist, or someone of another religion, permanently disqualify them, calling the other "satanist", "heretic" "blasphemous". I do not think that because someone is an atheist is a heretic or a Satanist. Everyone has every right to set its theological position and defend it. Being Christians, Muslims, traditionalists, Buddhists, we do better or worse than anyone.
I do not think that the reason comes by way of disqualification of the other.
Not a good image for religion, which the faithful insult others.
Be tolerant, if we want them to be tolerant of us.

italo: Father, forgive them still...

You are forgiven.
I forgive you.
Nobody is to blame for their ignorance and bigotry.

cyrexx: i could have answered you long before now, but i ignored because i know that no reasonable explanation will make you change your mind from your bias and negative opinion. but incase u want to be reasonable, listen:

read the entire passage very well and open ur understanding instead of closing it. he was addressing his disciples about persecution that will come to them for following him. he didnt come to bring peace in the sense that everybody will not accept him. some will reject him just like you're doing here, some will kill his disciples with swords, families will be divided e.g if one of them accepts Christ and her family rejects him or her even close family ties like parent-child and inlaws may be divided over Him. Jesus was basically preparing his followers for future persecution that His coming to the world will bring them.
if anyone has ears to hear, let him hear and gain understanding.

Dear, you are NOT a elected and we are not fools.
You expose your analysis and I'll do the same.

The passages quoted by Brother grafikii be analyzed in their context, and thus not biased and capricious.
The Hebrew people were born and lived (and lives) in permanent wars.
The Jewish-Christian god forever enslave and ordered removed from the earth to whom he considered enemies of Israel.
Not surprisingly, in this context there is a passage as this (which is not the only one who calls to destroy, kill and expand)
This is not a parable, the Israelites did not interpret it as a parable, but as a preparation for the fight.
Originally, Christians were persecuted ... even after the death of Christ there were big fights between the same groups called Christians.
When Constantine marked the foundation of Christianity, the persecution of the Christians against non Christians. That persecution was by no means less cruel than the Christians endured before ...
I still insist that the great problem of Christian history has been distorted, distorting the image of Jewish-Christian god and of course, that of Jesus ...
Unable to parse these passages, assuming that God is absolute goodness, because nunnca was, and not divert the content corresponds to a parabola where there is none.
What was wrote is textual, and suggests that the so-called "chosen people" has supremacy, at whatever cost.

royal lord: listen he has prophesied for the last 10 years and all has been accurate, personal prophecies and world prophecies

You are totally misinformed, or you blind fanaticism.
You called "prophet" who announces results football games? That is unworthy of a prophet, or a serious person. Things like that we see in a circus, by clowns, for us to laugh at such nonsense. A prophet is another thing ... but seriously!
You say that all his predictions were true? As you should be informed, at least you should read this thread before you say something like that!
Again I explain here (because there are people like you who write without reading, and without even thinking!)
Mr. Joshua announced earlier this year that the President of Argentina would die if he was underwent surgery. The president underwent surgery in January, its evolution was perfect, and currently enjoys a splendid health.
Joshua's prediction was not nothing but a charade, an act worthy of a circus clown. As this example I have thousands.
But I understand, always appears a slave who has his head only to wear a hat, to defend this charlatan, and call him "prophet".
You know what it means to be "Prophet"?
Before writing, find you. Prevent you be ridiculous.

East: The devil is a liar! Never allow yourself to be used by him in anyway.

The devil knows that TB Joshua is a Man of of God and trembles.

Do not blame the devil for what unscrupulous people do. That's very simplistic, is that the way in which the immoral attempt to justify their unethical acts and lies. Blaming the devil is very easy ... Being responsible and honest is difficult and not everyone can do.

He is a bad example for everyone.

Image123: ALL THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH ARE OUT OF COURSE." (Psalm 82:5).

Dear friend:
Do not you understand my comments personally, or as a criticism.
But Your comment has made me analyze the following:
They say that God's work was perfect.
But God created Lucifer and with it the whole phalanx of demons.
You may say that the mistake was giving them free will ... ok. I accept it, but I think it was a mistake too big ... unworthy of a god, because ultimately that God created all evil on earth.
You say (to paraphrase the Bible), that everything is now off course on earth .... and I keep thinking that ultimately the "perfect work" has not really been far from perfect ... they have always been plagues that swept entire villages, flood, genetic degeneration ... It's been very bad, imperfect to man ... but also has been very bad for Satan who can not achieve all their goals (although apparently always wins) and has been very bad for this god, who watches helplessly as his "perfect work" is destroyed every day, and for thousands of years fighting to have Satan (his own creation) could not overcome it ...).
Excuse me you, but I do not see where is the perfection in all this ...
(I clarify that I am not an atheist, or blasphemous or heretical ... just use my brain to think)

Hello dear friend.
I do not think it's a white problem.
Christ was black, but who presented a picture of a white christmas and blue eyes were Christians, not whites.
Also covered in the image of Christ, which I think was a "dehumanization" of the figure, created a white Jesus, nice, did not drink, just eat bread, so I had sex with women ...
But that's not the fault of whites ...
In my humble opinion who created that image were lso Catholics.
Sufficient to go to a Catholic church and see your images.

Whymee: @cyrexx
You carefully use the word TRUE Christian, you are admitting that we have FALSE Christian, if any of the false Christian commits killing like Rev King and a Lady that was known to be a deacon sometime ago in Nairaland who killed her nephew. Should the whole Christianity be condemned.

Why condemn all Muslim and ISLAM if FALSE Muslim then commit atrocity under the umbrella of Jihad.

Ptolomeo has clearly stated the fact, that it is not religion, tribe nor culture but the people that are bad.
I really appreciate that.

If only his massage can been read by ignorant Nairalander on religious issues.

The pictures are familiar to me,
I have couples of similar picture showing otherwise. Some of this pictures cannot be authenticated.

A video , claimed to have been sent by BH showing THISDAY bombing was posted recently only to be discovered it's a hoax posted by non Muslim to link the event to TRUE MUSLIMS.

Faith is difficult to toy with and issues of religion brings different irrational behavior, some faithful will go to any length to defend their faith, how would you feel if you entered a home and discovered that the picture on their foot mat is the picture of Jesus, you will get upset and these may lead to placard similar to your pictures, in such mass protest you're bound to see different wordings on placards.

This picture relates to the story of a boy painting an image of the prophet. We have heard of Virus called Ahmad, computers games given a name closer to Muhammed with a concept negating his personality, this will definitely breach the limits of tolerance and may lead to mass protest.

I can send you series of similar pictures were mosque, Muslims were masacre, children, women and families were display from their homes.

I use an iPad and have been looking for ways to post video and photos on Nairaland, put me through if you can.

Very good contribution dear friend!

cyrexx: my dear friend, can you shed more light on this statement of yours. is it not religions and their holy books that motivate people to behave the way they do. i believe people are basically good, they only get corrupted by life experiences. do you have a contrary view.

by the way, i appreciate your insightful approach. i wish there are more of you on nairaland instead of blind arguers

Thank you very much for your consideration and affection, dear friend.
I am not an atheist, but it could be.
I believe all religions lead to God differ in how they seek to that god, differ in the way in which they want to go to that god, they differ in the way of worship that god.
I do not think any god order to impose one religion or another ... if so would not be a god. I do not think a god send kill in his name, if so, he would not be a god.
All that sort of thing, are part of human nature, of petty intentions of fanatical priests who put their interests to the word of God they claim to love.
I am not a Christian or Islamic. But respect for both (no fans). Now ... if I may I would like to leave a question for all the brothers ...
And if the Christian God was the same as Islam god? Exactly the same ... and the only difference was the Christian and Islamic interpretation given of this god? It would be worth so much hatred? It would make sense as fanaticism?.
If there exists a God (whatever it is) I think it should be furious with the actions of people, who say they profess peace and love, but end up making a cult of hatred and fanaticism.
Know you excuse my English, which is very bad.
I thank you from my heart the beautiful way that I have received here in this beautiful forum.
Thank you!

buzugee: nice scriptures

Thank you dear friend ...
A strong and warm embrace

Ejem!
I am not an atheist ...
Try to find the answer in the parable (that they love to Christians)
The serpent was really Adam's wife's mother ...
Only a mother in law can do so much damage and is as poisonous as a snake.
After that, God turned the mother in law in snake ...
That is more credible, right?

rastamouse: As one poster rightly put it, if you are ignorant about something, just don't comment on it. Do any of you guys know that speaking against the HOLY SPIRIT is one of the treasonable sins before GOD? For those calling speaking in tongues all sort of names, what will you do in judgment when you realize that it was indeed from the HOLY GHOST?

And what you do you, dear friend when you realize that Astaroth is lying?
And you worshiped as a god?

PAGAN 9JA:
STOP TWISTING MY WORDS YOU MUMUS! i said we can sacrifice the criminals who deserve death penality, OK??

and i just said this to remove all the negative stigma attached to human sacrifice. Infact, in Papua New Guinea, where unlike useless statistics, most tribesmen are educated and[b] EVERYONE[/b] knows some form of English. Even there, the tribes know the importance of sacrifice and once in a year, they have mutually cooperated and agreed to stage friendly wars in a festival, whereby the killed are usually eaten by the winners. This is the choice of their people and they are happy with it. now again, I AM NOT SAYING WE SHOULD DO THE SAME IN NIGERIA! all i am saying is that sacrifices are important and there is nothing wrong with it. The sacrifice concept is based on balancing the forces. In order to obtain something, we must give something in return, just like when you want to earn money, you sacrifice your effort, or when a mother wants to have a baby, she sacrifices 9 months of pleasure.


And finally, these sacrifices can be continued on animals. it is just a small issue. In Nigeria, we can overlook it for now. we are now at a stage of spiritual immaturity. you dont need to get so excited about this things.

Cause both wonder why the word "sacrifice"?
The Judeo-Christian God asked not permanently?
So why so much itching when it comes to that?
The Jews sacrificed human beings ... or not?


The true sacrifice in worship of the true God was reinstated at the time of the Flood (Genesis 8:20-21) and confirmed when God established a special covenant with a man of faith named Abraham.

(Hebrews 11:6-19). Abraham demonstrated his genuine faith by his radical obedience. He was willing to offer his beloved son, long awaited, as a sacrifice to God (Genesis 22:1-3).
God Himself provided a sacrifice-a ram (Genesis 22:12-13) - to die in place

(Leviticus 16) introduced the ritual of atonement in which the life of a goat was accepted by God as a symbolic substitute for the life of corrupt people who were individually and corporately worthy of death

Hebrews 10:10-14 tells us that "by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified

His creatures to sin (Luke 22:20, John 6:53, Romans 3:25, 1 Corinthians 10:16, Ephesians 2:13, Hebrews 9:14, 1 Peter 1:18-19). Jesus Christ was a human sacrifice, but not a sacrifice offered to God for fallen humanity

the Old Testament sacrifices had to be offered in a spirit of humility and repentance (Numbers 15:22-31, Isaiah 66:1-4, Amos 5:21-24).
My greetings, (I hope not call me satanic, blasphemous, heretical, and all those beautiful words that I'm getting used to)

papa giddy: You blessing will know no end, TB Joshua may God bless you the more in Jesus name.infact am challenged by you!

God forgive Joshua to say to be a prophet, and deceive with false predictions fools!.
God let the fools react, and understand that a prophet does not commit the folly of making predictions about a football game, and does not announce the death of presidents who are still alive and healthy.
Joshua is not a fugitive, pursued himself.

grafikii: I am not slandering Jesus, I only pasted is commands. Who am I to question him.

It happens that is not reason, it is impossible to use logic against irrational fanaticism.
When one of us, using logic, analyzing a situation respectfully, we risk being called "heretics", "satanic" "blasphemous" ...
They have failure analysis, have not even answered my wont on three Biblical passages, they only insult ...

Gratitude is my dear brother!

A sincere hug.

cyrexx: go and read the entire story and get full understanding of what Jesus is saying (i copied the entire passage in my earlier post, if you really want to know the truth). it sounds to me that you purposely want to believe what is not true about Jesus, even though everybody including atheists, muslims and christians know he is a good man, and none of his true followers carry out any atrocities by obeying his words that you are now purposely misunderstanding

Nobody here is saying that Jesus was not a great man.
Some have felt attacked because others consider Jesus a human being, and that is not degrading.
It is uncontested here the passages in Matthew 11.18.19 Lucas 5.39 John 8.48 7.20 it is said that "Jesus was a glutton and a drunkard," that "nobody drinks new wine after drinking old wine", they said to Christ had a demon (referring to his drinking and eating, and prostitutes who accompanied him.
That no one has denied, simply because it is in the Bible, and nobody can deny.
I add that Jesus was a common man who had sex with women like a common man of the time, and nobody here can deny it.
They have developed an image of Jesus that Jesus himself would cause repugnance!.

cyrexx: @ whymee
O.K., now i get your point, you're purposely slandering prophet Isa (according to the Quran) with full knowledge that he was a righteous man. with that i wont argue with anymore. mind you, i'm a free thinker. and i study both the Quran and the Bible, even though i dont believe everything contained therein that goes against reason.

but one question: have you seen any true christian take up arms and kill another human being claiming that he is following Jesus' instruction. i'm not in the business of abusing people's religion but when you observe what the adherents of religions are doing, you will wonder who or what motivated them to carry out such atrocities in the name of God.

Look at these pictures below and guess what will come to a non-muslim's mind about Islam.

The problem (big problem) is not on religions, not in the Koran, or Christianity, or traditionalism ... is in the people ...
When I read some people irrationally defending a belief, wanting to deny reality to deny imposibel, I wonder if there is a god that you agree with that!

My respects dear friend!
Good post!

musKeeto: (else why would there be forgiveness of sins)

Hello dear friend:
I think that yes, indeed there is forgiveness for all sins.
Abraham, David, Solomon, Noah ... adulterers were repeat offenders in the eyes of God, and Jewish-Christian God did not punish at all, on the contrary, he named Patriarchs.
I think that the Christian God forgives all sins, so I understand that life must be enjoyed to the maximum.
That is what God commands in the cases of those patriarchs.

I read that in some areas of Africa where water is scarce, the left hand is used to eat, being the least contaminated (in the case of rights, of course)
Anyone know anything about that?

There is a "standard" arguably international, although it is written, possibly protocol, in that whatever we do we give and receive with your right hand. That, whether we are right or left.

Indeed, you think that in the context of the time, Jesus never got drunk? Never ate greedily? Never had diarrhea? Never vomited? Never had sex with a woman?
Anyone really believe that?

Ayomivic: Go on, continue your blasphemy you and your colleagues. Spite on him,shit on him, mock him. In fact you are good servent of your master (satan).He shall reward you.

you blindly insult. It is very rude. You should learn to respect.
What would you say if I say that here the blasphemer, the heretic and the satanic are you? Because it is you who has distorted the image of Jesus ...
Are Christians who say that he changes the word of the biblila and who judged Jesus, is satanic ... ok, then you are a Satanist and a heretic.
And in the future be polite, as well as ridicule, shows that their religion is very rude people.
Back to school, will be good for you, Mr. fanatic.

emöfine2: The idea of an omniscient god using trials to inspect individuals appears contradictory to “his” alleged attribute. However it would at least sound more plausible if it was claimed that an omniscient god uses trials as a means to develop the individual’s character.
Using trails to “test” us makes us sound like lab rats in a sick experiment. Testing our love, testing our faith...why does an omniscient god need these confirmed if not for vanity? In addition it’s always attached to a reward or a penalty i.e. worship me and I’ll make you to surpass your enemies...if you don’t worship me then such and such plagues will be added unto you.
The irony is, the biggest way god can use to test an individual’s faith and love is to remove the intimidation of heaven and hell.

I agree with you.
It has created an image of a vengeful god, dangerous (because if you do not punish us love) that distributes rewards and punishments ... (more punishment than prizes) If we are saved from Satan, however we run the risk of god punish us.
It is impossible to end the concept of heaven and hell ... are two premises that just contributes to terror on the one hand, and conformity on the other:
If I do not love God will punish me in hell.
If I have in this life does not matter, then go to heaven ...
It is simplistic, but we do not expect a large elaboration, when the message is addressed to persons of limited scope.
Warm regards dear friend!

OLAADEGBU: What truth are you speaking about? Do you have all the information necessary to arrive at the truth? Instead of the sensationalist journalism you depend on to pass judgment why don't you wait until the courts convict him before you start to jump the gun. Proper investigative journalism will say that he was alleged to have swindled the old woman and if he is found guilty he should of cause suffer as a thief and be sentenced appropriately, but this is not an opportunity for you to attack the church of God because you have a score to make. Below is a report of how a crime should be reported without scoring cheap points. Note the words "alleged" and "if" in their report.

http://www.observer.com/2012/05/elderly-harlem-woman-swindled-out-of-multi-million-dollar-property/

Olaadegbu: Goshen360 is speaking to you with respect and providing evidence. You want to be more royalist than the king ... You live of miles of kilometers of what has happened, know the details, and the person who lives there tells you how things are ...
But you are so fanatical and blind not to recognize the truth ... His fanaticism led him to defend what is indefensible.
Why not put some common sense and logic to your life?
Stop being a fan, you will alos good nerves and cholesterol.
Grow.

Theblessed: [size=16pt][b] You see, the author of this tread is nothing but a pit of 'hell'!

Same Ol' story, isn't it?

That's what he put out here for thick heads like him to read and curse their hearts out, in order to sensationalise an Old story thus, blackmail an Anointed Man of God. Your doom is nigh and you will be disgraced, in Jesus Name, Amen!!

Did I say 5 years? Things have moved on since then, haven't it? So, why push this down our throats, now? Evil, get a life!!!!

Also, did you tell them, that despite the Cameronian Government's negative Article and warnings, about Prophet TB Joshua and the Synagogue that, it's people - the Cameronians and other parts of the world have relentlessly and continuously been pouring, flooding and queuing for months for opportunities to get into the Synagogue to see Prophet TB Joshua - did you tell them that?

Obviously, not! You didn't and hadn't yet told them, evil!!!

And, may I ask, was it Prophet TB Joshua that molested the Cameronians that came to Nigeria? No!! Was it him that set armed robber on them? No! The same kind of misfortune could have happened to Nigerians travelling to Cameron to seek help - so why blame the Prophet?

In that case, please Cameronians, could you stop coming to our beautiful country, pleeeeeaaaasssseee!

You see, your evil campaigns to destroy an Anointed man of God would not stand, as it had not stopped them pouring in and they will continue to pour in as long as God Almighty allows Prophet TB Joshua long life, and the Synagogue continues to stands there, for the word of God to be proclaimed in it, the beehive will never be empty!!

Go rot in hell, all you haters but before you do - read this; Luke Chpt. 9 v. 49-50!!! Maybe you will all learn! [/b][/size]

You are very nervous ... You write with big letters ... (you cry) and that's very rude. Joshua (who is an anointed of God) does not transfer his followers inner peace? What Joshua transmitted? False prophecies are not fulfilled?
That's a prophet?
Find you a place of peace, do not be aggressive and rude.
Joshua has what he searched.

unphilaz: this is it, thanks sir for bringing it out. Having a 'general ask your questions' helps the atheist sound 'intelligent'. But wit this premise, no scripture for em to use to defy their Creator. Atheist, over to you.

Not a single contribution to the debate, not a single input, it is enough that someone makes a comment so that these gentlemen are offended by his insults: Atheist! Blasphemer! Satan! Heretic!
It must be hard to live devoid of analysis, logic, and also prey to irrational fanaticism.
