I encountered an act in the office some days back and since then it seems things have taken an awkward turn in my office.

I work in an organization as an assistant consultant, which by implication makes my office very close to my boss who is the senior consultant in our department.

On a fateful Friday after work, I decided to stay behind in order to tide up some office works. After about two hours I started hearing some strange moans/voices coming from the office directly opposite which happens to be my oga's office. I was curious so I decided to take a look to see what's going on, when I got to the door, I didn't hear any voice so I thought maybe it was my imagination. I gently pushed the door expecting it to be locked only for the door to open and lo and behold my boss was banging our newly employed secretary on his office table. our both eyes jammed, I stood frozen for some minutes (I guess) before I heard his voice "Young man what are you looking for in my office?"

Since that event things have been very awkward between me, my boss and the secretary. ( Don't know what to do)

So someone already went to count them? It seems like someone already promised them something in advance. How did 500 of them already gathered and waiting for integration?

Seems like the amnesty plans have been concluded alr3ady.

Being a Christian is really one hell of a job.

Aside the Church-bound duties required of "true" Christians (which are often quite inconvenient and demanding), one mustn't ignore the emotional, mental and psychological War that goes on in the mind of those one who are quite knowledgable or well versed with the Bible.

Trying hard to resist the doubts they tend to encounter is the order of the day for those who read wide and do lots of research in an aim to either justify or investigate their long-held faith. I was no exception.

Ranging from the bloodstained Old Testament to Scientific ludicrosities, Blatant absurdities to historical flaws, authenticities and many many more, I couldn't help giving Doubt a chance.

About this time last year, I wrote a piece here on Nairaland: Questions That Baffle Me About God
and even though it never made frontpage, I'm glad it had the amount of audience it did.

Now I'm here with something quite troubling; something a logical mind should find really really disturbing.

I remember having a dialogue with a Pastor friend some weeks ago when he was on an outreach preaching about the Second Coming of Christ and why everyone should "mend their ways".

I can't quite remember his reaction when I asked "Don't you think this Jesus is taking too long? Are you sure he's coming at all?"

but I do remember him sarcastically replying me by saying "Uhmm.... Our Lord is warming up his whips for strongheads like you, so chill..."

Well, I chuckled. But then, I needed him to go into his Bible to see for himself why I asked such a question, so I directed him to Mark 13:30 which states:

". . .this generation will by no means pass away until these things happen. . ."
(with "these things" referring to the end time, tribulation and the Second Coming talked about in the preceding verses).

He laughed. "Cheap!" He said.

"You don't understand Greek so you wouldn't know" (hehehehe does he understand Greek? Well.... I wouldn't know either lol)

"The word 'generation' in Greek is 'genea' which Lexicons define as 'people of the same kind' so from Acts 11:26, we can tell whom these people are. They are Christians, which means Christ-like. So Christians will never pass away until the Son comes". He concluded.

That was amazing. Perfect wordplay. However, the context of this passage made it clear that it literally referred to those still alive at the time. He refused; holding still to his explanation. Then I took him to Matthew 16:28 which states:

"Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom."
(also found in Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27)

His face didn't look so bright afterwards even though he tried making me take his explanation for an answer and how I needed the Holy Spirit to understand certain passages and so on, it was obvious that he was well aware of these passages and the problems the pose and willingly ignored them for fear of doubt (I once did that too). So he never expected it to be used in a dialogue with him. He obviously didn't research on it the way he should have and that's the same thing most Christians do today. Their fear of doubt has amounted to their fear of knowledge and information and honestly, it's really unfortunate.

Now, back to the passage, we all know that everyone "standing [t]here" are now dead, buried and forgotten (that's assuming Jesus even existed)

So what does that make of the Second Coming? A Failed Prophecy or not?

Let's be honest with ourselves.

Thank you.

mad people.

you quickly pushed this thread to the front page to douse the tension the other is already generating. dont worry yourselves, the message was well received by those it was directed at.

Last week, OBJ said the people of Niger Delta will surfer for the actions or in-actions of GEJ in office, few days later, daura-dullard has said something in the same direction and someone is telling me about context.

Cowards will always be cowards no matter what cos it runs in the blood.

can you also deny that he was asking someone during that interview what an inclusive govt is

lonelydora:
Op, my one cent advice........ Stop using a KAZEEM mechanic. Routine maintenance and OEM parts are the life of any car.

Op, must have "e dey drink fuel" mentality and "as long as it's not a Toyota" mentality.

First...good to know the kidney is fine.

Most of the time...the cause of hypertension is not known. (Like 90% of the time). In the remaining ten percent...high cholesterol,diabetes, genetics,hormonal problems...might be implicated.

Your risk for hypertension goes up if you are overweight, male, and have a bad diet.

For now...

1.)Continue with the drugs. Don't stop them...even if the BP is low.They are what is keeping your BP low!

2.Avoid salt. Use a salt substitute instead.(Low sodium salt...check a supermarket).

3.On diet...more fruits and vegetables. Meat+ turkey, chicken(without the skin). No beef or goat meat.

4.Exercise.If you have never done so....start with 30 minutes of walking a day....and increase it as time goes on.(Don'tjog yet.)

Ask the doctor to have a look at your kidney. You may have some kidney issues.

And don't give up on the BP drugs. At the very least....ask for a change in drugs.
