I don't believe this yet until it is official.

@OP.

U need to remember that those who carried the message of Christ to the rest of the world after His ascension were still the Jews.

So Jews are not total disconnected from the Gospel.

Infact, many of them are now giving their lives to Christ and becoming powerful tools in the hand of God. I.e. Pst Benny Hin etc.

Though many of them rejected Jesus bcs the were looking forward to a military commander as their messiah, who would lead them against the Roman soldiers to liberate them and restore the kingdom to Israel, the character into which Christ did not fit in atall................... Hence (to them) He could not be their awaiting Messiah.

U will to understand this more if u read the book of Acts 1:6, where the Disciples themselves who were all Jews asked Jesus the question about the restoration of the kingdom to Israeli . Pls READ.

So this had been their expectation of the coming Messiah, but unfortunately for them Jesus was not sent to conquer the physical Roman forces but the spiritual forces by His death, burial and resurrection and save the whole world not the Jews only. John 3:16. John 1:29 etc.

But I saw a thread hours ago here that suggested that the insurgents are surrendering themselves..
What kind of inhumanity is this? Since when did this country become like this?
Why can't they see the other brighter side of life? They sleep peacefully not knowing that they don't have their lives in their hands.
But truly if our fellow citizens in politics are really involved in this madness, then untimely and premature death shall never depart from their generations.

Babe, true journalism is dead from inspection in Nigeria.

So our media houses can stay in the comfort their homes and report any junk that comes their ways without proper investigation.

So tell me why won't they report that Bokoharam are surrendering while they are actually feasting on their prey freely everyday without any hindrance ?

The next thing Mr Buhari will come out to tell is " we are winning the war."

Id!ot, jonathan is the main sponsor of boko haram. But very soon God will catch him. Dakiki jaki kawai dan shegiya. Akuya

U deserve an award for the most imbecilic, ediotic, and stewpid fellow on nairaland.

One thing seun fails to understand is that, majority of those who parade this forum are Christians, and i know a quite of number of people who have left this forum bcs of bias treatment being given out to the Christians by the mods, even the ower ( Seun) who is supposed to be neutral has decided to be one sided by not only giving Islam it own section but also restricted none-muslims from participating while the Muslims move from one thread to another to cause their usual confusion.

This complaint has been made time and time again but seun has clearly shown us that we Christians are irrelevant here by ignoring us.

Instead for him to address the injustice he ( seun) decided to open a thread titled " LET US BE MORE TOLERANT OF EACH OTHER " why can he tell that to the Muslims when they agitated for theirs, cause if there is any religious followers that need more of the Sermon of tolerance, it's the Adherents of Islam, Muslims.

Don't be surprised if this topic is removed soon or all the commenters here get banned before noone, that's nairaland for u!!!

At least 150 pilgrims were killed in a crush at
Mina, outside the Muslim holy city of Mecca,
where some two million people are performing
the annual Hajj pilgrimage, Saudi Arabia's al-
Ekhbariya television reported.


The incident took place in Mina as people were
participating in the symbolic stoning of Satan.

More update coming soon.

The incident took place in Mina as the people were participating in the symbolic stoning of Satan?

And 150 died, over 400 injured

Hmm



Satan have been stoned by Muslims for over 1400yrs and yet the opposite keeps happening.

What an irony !!!

May the souls of the dead rest in peace and the injured recover quick.

God have mercy.

Hmm, it is well !!!!

@OP beware of BH gals ooo

ddippset:
lets respond to what we have from the post and stop being speculative and silly. The post says obasanjo deliberately built it close to his bedroom so that he could enjoy the service from the comfort of his bedroom. Was obasanjo's thinking he was going to be a life president? Did obasanjo forget that Nigeria is a secular state? Is obasanjo telling us that there was no extra land where he could have built a chapel far away from the residente of the villa? No president should even build a mosque or a church infact any where within 100 metres of the residential part of the villa. Maybe you think the villa is just about the same size as your compound. The problem is obasanjo who was expecting to prolly be a life president and then you, who should use your brain more.

I don't have time for someone like u who can only reason like a kid.

Good day!

ddippset:
Let's stop being hypocrites abeg. Iam a Christian too. If the chapel is actually too close to his bedroom and he's not comfortable with it, he is free to relocate it asap.

Hello Mr righteous, is Mr Buhari the first President or Muslim President to live in the villa?

Pls think b4 u type or better keep quiet

Sorry o!
It is well. RIP to the dead and quick recovery to the injured.

@OP. God bless u and more and more in Jesus name.
More grace to u sir.
I like that your composition.
Bless u sir!!!

Well in the case of ministerial appointments Mr Buhari has no choice bcs his hands are tied constitutionally, which states that all the states of the federation must have at least a slot.

If not for that, i can assure people that the president would have continued with his own agenda and lopsidedness that has characterised his style of appointments so far.

winner01:
Yawns... wake me up when you find the pastor and the church. Muslims shaa...

Sheh you never hear about AL-LIAR before ni

Nobody is more stewpid/ foolish than a self-deceiving Man.


Besides, na this number of people the OP call 480 ?

Hmm, @OP. Self-deceit therapy no dey market o

parisbookaddict:
Mister muslim it is not only muslims who touch their fore head on the ground in thanks..
The pope does a similar thing when every he arrives a new country, he even kisses the ground.. does that make him a muslim?? If bolt starts waging jihad we will review the topic

Check wikipedia and newpapers on google, usian bolt is a christian. Now dont u feel ignorant for ur statement.

That's what we always tell our muslim brothers that prostration and bowing one's head in prayer is not peculiar to them and is also not absolute as far as worshiping God is concerned but they won't agree.

That's why whenever they see anybody bowing down with his head touching the ground they take him for a Muslim, and this is the more reason they argue till tomorrow that Jesus & CO who prayed with their faces on the ground were Muslims.


One thing they fail to understand is that majority of Christians do it more than them in their privacy when observing there quite time prayers than most Muslims ( though not religiously as it is in Islam ) .
But Christians will not just go about make noises bcs prostration/bowing down in prayer is not what Christian worship all about.

For the south east is expected, GMB is obviously out for a revenge. For the Yorubas, I say a big 'ntoooooo! Betrayal runs in your blood, you are receiving what you deserve.

And who have they betrayed?

greysuit:
I like you already you dey make sense!

Tanx !!!

I think there should be a law banning the use of meggaphone ( external loud speakers) bcs shutting churches and getting them to pay fine may lead to chaos in the state considering our level of religiousity in naija.

However, i wouldn't want my fellow Christians to see this as an attack on the church but rather as a way to put our excesses in check as God's people who are commanded to be moderate in and peaceful in all things.

Follow peace with all men...

You are the light of the world, peace ambassadors!!!

Shallom !!!

Heartless Islamist, shekau cousin, why not go and execute them by yourself so that sharia won't become a joke

Generation of CAIN the murderer worshiping a blood sucking demon as god !!!

And those gullible people pleaded guilty




No religion that's more barbaric than Islam

Medicis:
Muslims can be so dull... They actually think when we say Jesus is the Son of God, that God had s*x with Mary and begat Jesus. The Sonship of Jesus is a physical manifestation of the father in flesh. JOHN1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2  He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3  All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
 
John uses the Greek word logos to describe Jesus "in the beginning," or before creation and time began. Logos means word, but specifically it means the spoken word or a statement. Jesus is God's spoken word,
John then explains that the Word (Jesus) was "with" God and "was" God. This statement yields two important conclusions regarding Jesus and the Trinity: Jesus is God and existed from the beginning as God, yet Jesus' existence is somehow distinct from God the Father. Jesus was "with" God and "was" God at the same time. This is the mystery of the Trinity: all three Persons in the Godhead are One God and yet all are distinct from one another.

Moving to verse 3, John says that it was the Word (Him) that created all things. From this statement, we begin to see why Jesus is called the "Word" by John. Consider these facts we learn from John's Gospel and elsewhere in Scripture:

First, we know from scripture that God the Father is Spirit (John 4:24), meaning He doesn't exist in physical form. So, there is no physical substance to God the Father. The Creation cannot experience the Father as He truly is, since we are bound to a physical dimension yet He is not physical.

Secondly, we know that God's Spirit is likewise invisible (John 3:6-. He can only be known by observing His work in the Creation.

On the other hand, Jesus is the member of the Godhead responsible for all physical matter. As John said, all things were made by and through Jesus. Paul says the same thing in Col 1:15-17. 

More over, Paul teaches in Colossians that Jesus is the "image of the invisible God." Therefore, He is the only Person in the Godhead Who has entered into and become a part of the physical creation. Jesus can be seen in a physical sense, because He is the One Who entered into the Creation and become a part of it (i.e., became incarnate).

Therefore, Jesus is the One within the Trinity Who is associated with Creation, both as its source and as an ambassador of the Godhead to that creation.

Next, consider how the Creation itself was established in Genesis 1. Genesis 1 teaches that the world was created by the spoken word of God (note the repeating phrase in Genesis 1, "Then God said...". So when God the Father determined to created the universe and everything in it, He "spoke" it into existence. But as John said in verse 3, Jesus was the One who made all things, therefore we can say that Jesus was God's logos, or spoken Word.

We can begin to understand this partnership (at least to some degree) by drawing an analogy to how our own thoughts and words reach into the physical word. When we desire to command something to happen in the world around us, we must first conceive the idea in our minds. No one can see our thoughts. They are invisible, yet they certainly exist. Without our thoughts, we could purpose to do nothing at all.

If our thoughts are to become visible in some way, they must move from the invisible realm of our mind and into the physical world. The progression from invisible to visible requires we transfer our invisible thoughts into a spoken command. The brain communicates our thoughts to our mouth where it becomes logos: spoken words.

Once the spoken word leaves our mouth, it enters the physical world and yields its intended effect. This simple analogy helps explain how God the Father worked with God the Son (i.e., the Word) to establish Creation.

This is John's meaning when he says that Jesus is the Word. He meant that Jesus is the physical manifestation of God the Father, just as a spoken word is the physical manifestation of our inner thoughts. Until Jesus took action and created the universe, there was no physical reality to God's presence. But when God "spoke" (i.e., when Jesus took action), the Creation came into existence.

Later, Jesus arrived in Person to meet with His creation, and as Jesus spoke His words to His disciples, He fulfilled the Father's purpose by providing a physical representation of the Godhead to His creation.  Hebrews says it this way:

 
Heb. 1:1  God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
Heb. 1:2  in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.
Heb. 1:3  And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power...
 

Paul reiterates this same thought in Colossians when he says:

 
Col. 1:15  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Col. 1:16  For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him.
 

Jesus is the Word because He was the means through which the Father brought all physical reality into existence and because He is the One Who represents the Father's invisible nature and character to that creation. Just as your spoken word is the physical manifestation of your thoughts and personality, Jesus is the "Word" of the invisible God to His creation. This is why Jesus said, "before Abraham was born, I AM!"(John 8: 58) because he existed as the WORD but that same WORD now became Jesus(the WORD became flesh)

May the Lord blessed bless u richly for this good work u did here.

BLESS U SIR.
