Christianity EtcRe: Is Purgatory In The Bible? by SamJed(m): 6:54pm On Feb 21, 2016
gemale:
So because d word Purgatory doesn't appear in d bible, it doesn't exist? SMH if dts 2 b true, dt means dt d trinity, nativity (birth of Christ), reincarnation (how God the son became man) r false because those words don't appear in d bible. Yes 1 is saved when 1 received Christ bt isn't it d same bible dt tell us 2 work out our salvation in fear & trembling? Purgatory is nt 4 d unrepentant or d sinners dt fails 2 acknowledge Jesus. It serves 2 cleanse us of minor stains caused by 4gten sins dt were unconfessed or unconscious sins (eg distraction during prayer) & is an instrument of penance 4 forgiven sins. D bible says "no sinner shall go unpunished" nt "no sinner shall go unforgiven". By merit of our sinful nature, we deserve damnation bt confession & true belief in Jesus Christ, we r spared dt. However we still need 2 undergo purging so dt we r made perfect as our heavenly Father is. Most tyms, we don't do sufficient penance in our life 2 be able 2 enter heaven unblemished so Purgatory strips us of such minor encumbrances & enables us 2 b pure enuf 2 c God's face.
Noted...but i don't think i have the strength to start arguing with u since ur mind is already made up on one area...maybe if a thread like this is opened again i will gladly argue with u...bt on the issue of minor stains the bible said in 1Cor. 13 vs 5a Examine yourself to know if you are still in the faith...the bible would have not told us to examine ourselves if there was an intermediary place where the 'small stains' would have been cleansed...also apostle Paul said in 1 Cor. 9: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. If with all the good works he did for God, Paul could say this, doesn't it tell u that he knew that if there was a stain on him, all his good works would have been forgotten and he would have gone to hellhuh For an apostle like Paul, would 'minor stains' had given him a concern since he knew that with all his righteousness and good works God would have at least put him in purgatory where he would have been cleansed from 'small sins' because someone like Paul would have not deliberately sinned against Godhuh He knew he had to live it right with God because he knew there was no other atonement after death....so my friend, there is no atonement for sin after death in form of purgatory or whatever...every atonement is here on earth...cheers

PoliticsDoes PMB Have The Final Say In Matters Of The Economy??? by SamJed(op): 2:31pm On Feb 21, 2016
I don't know how to put this question without being misinterpreted or misunderstood. The issue of devaluation of the naira has been ongoing for sometime now and each time, i normally read where PMB said he won't devalue the naira. I want to ask if he has the power in such matters. Aren't economic matters supposed to be decided by the economic teamhuh Why should he be the person that should say whether it should be devalued or not. Are such decisions not supposed to be taken by either the CBN governor or the finance minister since they are in better position to know which is better being economistshuh Just curious...please don't misinterprete me.

Christianity EtcRe: Are Religious Countries More Likely To Be Poor? by SamJed(m): 6:11am On Feb 21, 2016
The problem with most religious countries is not following the true doctrines of the bible...now the bible says faith without work is dead...this is exactly the problem with religious countries...after praying they still expect God to come down and develop their countries...btw the religiousity of nowadays is just miracles...the real worship is lacking...the whites of old were worshipping God very much afterall they introduced us to Christ and at the same time developed themselves but we here are always looking for miracles...how are we going to succeed when we are not doing it the right way
Christianity EtcRe: Is Purgatory In The Bible? by SamJed(m):
Here is what the bible says... It is appointed unto man once to die and after that judgement...Note the bolded...if you appoint someone for something you can reverse it for a reason...this explains why i believe most stories of people going to hell and heaven and coming back(not all are true though)...this also explains why one can be pronounced dead by doctors but after prayers by true children of God, the person will wake up...because it is appointed and not fixed... but for purgatory it is a pure lie...firstly there is no place in the bible where the word is mentioned...secondly the bible made it clear that if you receive Christ you will be saved and if you don't you are condemned...thirdly if the passage that says after death, judgement is anything to go by then purgatory is a pure lie...if there is supposed to be a clause like purgatory, it would have been included...the passage would have been "it is appointed unto man once to die, then a possible atonement while dead, then judgement.
Summary of everything i have said is that their is nothing like purgatory...it is not biblical...

Kini big deal?

So what does the Election Poster say exactly? that the Naira has been on a free fall from Jonathan's time. Jonathan and his minions mopped up all the Dollars that was in Circulation in Nigeria, when it became clear the PDP will lose the election. And the one that was not mopped up, was stolen by Dasuki in the Billions.

It is this artificial scarcity of the Dollars, created by ALLI BABA(Jonathan) and his 40 Thieves, that is giving us problems now. As i have repeatedly said, things in Nigeria will first get a little worse, before it gets better.

Nigeria's economic woe did not start today, it started from Goodluck Jonathan's time.
I pity ur life...keep blaming Jonathan...one thing with u people is that u find a way to deny the truth...even this one that is super glaring, u are twisting it...tufiakwa...may that spell on ur life be destroyed in Jesus name...

RomanceHere Is How To Show Love This Valentine by SamJed(op): 6:58am On Feb 14, 2016
Human beings most times tend to do thing that won't be beneficial to them just because others are doing it. This are for the youths who think spending hugely on girl(s) will make them think you love them. For married people, I so much encourage spending the day together, but you can also do the below too with your spouse. For the youths, doing any of the below gives more fulfilment of love.

how about celebrating it with the motherless and orphans

how about giving that beggar on the road a few thousands instead of the normal #50 and telling him it is for valentine

for those that love children, how about calling a few of your compound kids together then talk to them about love, obedience and other good virtues, play good cartoons for them, share cooked food, biscuits or other eatables for them.

how about giving that family suffering through hardship next door that #10,000 you want to spend on frivolities and jokingly tell the man to give to his wife to prepare valentine food for you

how about sorting the bill of the people in your row when in the bus and telling them it is for valentine with a smile

how about helping your neighbour next door with some house chores

share gifts and gift cards


Do any of these and feel the fulfilment of showing love. Happy valentine.
