I don't intend to violate or offend anybody faith understanding. Although I know a lot of persons on this forum do have issue with atheism but you don't need to raise your issues here, because I am not here for that. Talking about what I am here for; my name is wale, of course working but at this state of my life I want to have good relationship, settle down and build a home. But the only issue with that is I am an Atheist!!

This is not a matter of self appraisal, I am good, responsible, righteous - because even moral has its logic, funny, understanding and open minded. But all of those seem to not enough, because any lady I opened up to sincerely about my irreligious she will withdraw from the relationship. Even though I am clear that I have no issue with her religion and I have no plan to change her Believe

My irreligious doesn't makes me less of human, so my question to all is that is it wrong for atheist to fall in love?
Or my irreligious makes me unfit for marriage?

And it will be good to know if we have atheists here both male and female.

Do you wonder why Borno ? Why not any other state? The answer is simple but only logical minds will know. Boko Haram is a billion dollar business and any governor of Borno is an automatic billioniinaire. It's unfortunate that the defenceless and foot soldiers are the culprit in this never ending terrorism business

3. They Tell You Refusal To Cooperate Will Damage Your Case

Police want suspects to believe that officers can help the accused to receive a lighter sentence if that person cooperates. This is another lie told by police because they have nothing to do with sentencing. They typically tell you refusal to cooperate will only do damage to your case. Being open with the police is not helpful because anything a suspect says will be used against him in court. So its better you get careful of the kind of statements you make.

2. Lie about the presence of an eyewitness and confession from an accomplice
Another way they use to get suspect is telling them about a mysterious eyewitness who has identified them as the culprit or an accomplice of theirs being interrogated elsewhere has confessed already. Investigators usually use this technique to extract small details, such as time of the crime and location. Police may ask the accused a question that seems harmless, such as “Tell us where you met your friend.” But an answer is a confession to the facts.. If they tell you about an accomplice or an eyewitness, please do not panic. Do not be confused if you're sure of yourself.

For thousands of years now, many have been led to believe in the doctrine of hell fire.

Biblically, this teaching has no basis.
Some invoke the expression recorded in Revelation
21:8 and Rev 19:20, I.e. the 'lake of fire' or 'lake that burns with sulfur'as evidence of hell fire.

Others point to Jesus parable about the rich man and Lazarus, recorded in Luke 16:19-31.

While these Bible verses speak of punishment in fire, they are not to be taken literally.

The language in which the Book of Revelation was written, were all symbolic. Also, the story of the Rich man and Lazarus, was an illustration directed at the proud pharisees, who believed they were favoured before God. Jesus used the illustration to let the pharisees realized that, things have changed for the ordinary Israelites, with the arrival of the messiah. God stopped using the pharisees to teach the Jews the law, with the coming of Jesus Christ .With the presence of Gods son teaching the Jews directly about God, the spiritual condition of the Jews became elevated while the Pharisees were debased. Seeing the changed condition of the jews, and the judgment message of Jesus against the Pharisees, they became enraged at Jesus.

Interestingly, Jesus Christ ended the role of the Pharisees as teachers of the law, when he established Christianity.Since the birth of the Christian congregation, the ordinary Jews and later the Gentiles, became opportuned to worship God freely.

Yet, as simple as the illustration of the rich man and pharisees were, the religions of today have latched on to it, as proof that hell fire existed. The Pharisees that Jesus directed the message to knew that Jesus was talking to them. They knew the meaning that, spiritually speaking, their position as teachers of the law had changed forever with Jesus presence. And that the common man they looked down upon is now favoured with the previlegde of been taught the way of Christ, which opens to them the direct opportunity of communicating with God.

Hence, to those who misconstrue, the parable of the rich man and Lazarus as proof of hell fire, it is good to read that account again, to get the import of the parable.

According to first John 4:8, God is Love.

Can a God of love burn his sinning creatures in fire?

What do you think?

To answer it clearly, think about yourself for a moment. Can you burn your child in fire for sinning or doing something you forbid?

Can you ?
Well, I can't.

As a human, how many of us even think about using fire as a possible means to punish criminals?

Few, if any.
How many human government burn criminals alive?

None!
If humans in General Dont do it, why do people now want God to do it?
If human government Dont burn criminals in fire, is it God that we now burn his own creature in everlasting fire?

God is love.
If humans, Dont do it, God can't do it.
We are made in God s image, remember.
If you can't do it, because it looks unjust, then, God cannot do it.

Also, there is no record in the Genesis account of creation, of how God created Hellfire and where it is located.Where is hellfire located ?Who created it? Where is evidence that God created it? The bible recorded how God created everything, including the sun, moon and stars.How come it is silent about hellfire?

Now God told Adam, that if he sins against him, he would go back to the dust.Because he created him from the dust. Now if Adam returned to the dust as God told him, how come his children go the hell fire as popularly claimed by churches of today?

God specifically told Adam in Genesis 3:19- For dust you are, and to dust, you will return.

But churches now say, for dust you are and to hellfire you will return.

Can God lie?

Who knows better, God or churches?

Where do we go at death?

Is Adam in hell fire?
Which hell fire?

According to God is statement to Adam, at death, he returned to dust, to a state of none existence.

Adam was none existent before God created him.

At death, he returned to that state signified by dust.

But churches say no. We do not die. We continue to live but in hell fire.
So a lot of people end up believing the big lie that hell fire exist .

God cannot lie.Satan is the only one that can burn sinners in hellfire, an imaginary place he has created to paint God as a wicked person who can debase his human creation by burning the sinners amongst them in hell fire.

Now, did God burn Adam in hell fire after he sinned, and became the first sinner on earth?

What's your answer?

If Adam didn't go to hell fire, as the first sinner, does it make sense to believe that his children and all sinners are in hell fire?

pastor commits suicide after his girlfriend got engaged to another man

PRESENTATION:
Those of you masturbating on this thread should have realized by now that this survey was not carried out in Africa, There is no way your tetcno infilix or itec product would be on that survey.

I understand country hard so you need to buy tetcno infilix or itec but that doesn’t give you the right to hate on Samsung, iPhone or any other brand you can’t possibly get.

Seun:
If, within five minutes after a specific prayer by a theist, the stars in the sky were rearranged to spell I AM GOD: I EXIST, and it could be seen by everybody, and it could be scientifically confirmed by every astronomer that that the stars had indeed been moved around and it wasn't just an optical illusion, then I might be convinced that there exists a great mind out there which capable of moving stars around in response to prayer.

Can any theist make this happen? (cc: winner01)

Reading such things like this on the internet breaks me up in ways only God can understand.

Friends, who are reading, anytime you see things like this anywhere on the internet, remember these 2 scriptures

Matthew 11:28 -29
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Hebrews 5:11-12
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Matthew 11:28-29 is a very common scripture that is used to preach to exhort soon-to-be converts. But there is something people miss in verse 29.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me

In other words, take a portion of my burden, my baggage, my responsibility and learn from me. I am meek - humility in the midst of power & authority - and lowly - raw, circumstantial humility - in heart and you shall find rest for your souls.

There are those who take up responsibility within local churches but learn nothing from Him, there are those who take no burden nor place nor responsibility anywhere but seek to learn from him (the first set may be filled with a certain level of understanding/knowledge but no wisdom and the second set may be filled with wisdom but lack understanding/knowledge to appropriate that wisdom. Strangely enough the second set are typically the most zealous and outspoken of the 2... )

There are those who don't subscribe to any of the 2, (either learning from Him nor taking His yoke) and insist that they are Christians and children of God......

The Bible says that the Lord knows those who are His (2Timothy 2:19) so it not my place to judge anyone.....

But I believe those who dedicate themselves to taking His yoke and learning from him, tend towards maturity and can hardly make this kind comment OP is blasting like this.....

Hebrews 5:11 uses an expression "dull of hearing". What does this connote?

When Jesus was leaving, he made a solemn promise, which some people fail to tap into. In John14:26 Jesus said

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The bible declares boldly in several instances including Revelations 2:29, " He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying......."

My question? Have you seriously considered all this comment in your post in the place of prayer. Does the Spirit of God endorse/agree with this your line of commentary.

Jesus Christ Himself said "I build my church....", there is but one church and that is the Church of Jesus Christ, the general assembly of the First born which are written in heaven (Heb 12-23). A local assembly of believers, under the banner of a ministry, lead by a man/woman with a passion which may be born out of a calling of God or a righteous desire is not the Whole church of Jesus Christ.

And as such what goes there, is not an automatic reflection of what is happening in the whole body/Church of Jesus Christ, as seen or heard (either through visions, dreams or other forms of revelation) in the realms of the Spirit.

You are not the first to make this kind of blunder.

When Jezebel sought to kill the prophet elijah, he went before the presence of God in the mountains and sought to die, since - according to him - God has abandoned all the prophets and allowed jezebel/ahab to hold sway in sin and evil, and how they have killed all the prophets and he was the last one alive (1kings 19 from verse 11).

But God corrected him and made him to understand that he was only one of 7,000 prophets who were still alive and hadn't succumbed to idol worship under Ahab/Jezebel.

I can boldly say, based on personal bible study, that Elymas in the bible represents the perfect minister for the unflogged church based on your requirements, except that he sought to pervert the way of the Lord - for he was a sorcerer.

But then again, only a man who knows the truth, knows when it is in danger of perversion.

I do not believe that a church or local assembly is under "flogging" as you call it, in the absence of miracles, soulwinning and care for the homeless because I know that William Braham was not guilty of any of what you mentioned but still suffered a flogging. Why?

Because of disobedience. Some of the things you mentioned may have nothing to do with what the Lord sent you as a ministry to do, the core focus of the ministry.

I know an NGO whose focus is to teach karate to Women above 45years of age in some communities in the southern part of Africa and in kenya, why?

Because the superstitious belief of the people is that the cure to STD's of all kind is sex with an old woman. Hence the culture of sexual harassment and rape towards old women is rampant.

Along the line, they preach the Gospel.

But what if another zealous person challenges them ( like some JW people sometimes do) and say fighting is ungodly/sinful, hence teaching old women to fight is wrong.

Whose counsel are they expected to follow?! Are they expected to abandon what God told them to do to fulfill people's requirements of a sinless church/ministry or an "unflogged" church?

Also your reference to the money changers isn't complete! Why? Because the money changers existed in the temple before the days of Jesus, when the land was very much ruled by Jewish kings.

And there was nothing wrong with their presence in the temple. But what was wrong with their presence in the temple under the rule of the roman empire is clearly seen/elaborated in Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:17 and Luke 19:46.......

Matthew21:12-13

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

They were cheating the people and that's why Jesus called them thieves.


Proverbs16:11 A just weight and balance are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

Leviticus 19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Proverbs11:1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.



He called them thieves because they had turned money changing to business and were profiting heavily from it, and God had warned the people severally against usury and unethical business practices before the arrival of Jesus, so He drove them out without hesitation.

As for adverts, in Bulletins? I grew up in a catholic home, though I eventually left the catholic church. In those days Bulletin used to be free, but at a time it was sold for 1kobo, then 50kobo, then 2 was sold for #5 - it was #2.50 as recent as 1996. I have no idea what it is right now, but I do know that church finances isnt what some people think it is.

I once walked into a mega church where a friend of mine served as accountant within, the country and was impressed with its beauty.

But by the time, me and my friend dey gist, the people that really keep that place going - financially in terms of running cost of diesel for generator, servicing AC, generator, renting chairs, decorations are not up to 8 ) in a church of over 2,000 persons.

People that pay tithe consistently are not more than 150 and that includes the staff strength of 60 - deacons, pastors, cleaners, security guard etc and majority of the people are civil servants.

So in whatever way any ministry chooses to source for revenue to maintain it operations - in my opinion oooh - is okay, as long as it doesnt contradict the purpose of which the ministry was raised nor the word of God nor bring/reduce the work of God already on ground to rubble .

The reality of the Matter is that there are ministries that have becomes big and there are those that are not there yet, so church finance is a very difficult/tricky thing to navigate.

What a ministry does in a bid to raise funds is a reflection of the attitude/kind of members they have. Thats why when I see churches laying charges on things like baptism, prayers or deliverance, I feel sorry for them, because it means that the congregation are doing their role in the house of God and that Pastor may have given in to temptation.

Nevertheless, there is a difference between between transfering cost and usury.

If as a man of God, for example you are led to anoint water and make it available to your members in their private time, it shouldn't necessarily become a business venture in my own opinion, except he is Led to use it as a way of raising money by God (the bible is replete with examples).

It could even be that a man of God or Pastor wants to make it available for all. But what happens when you cannot afford right away to make it available 100% free.

In my opinion, a wise person/administrator will have to bottle the water after it has been prayed for and transfer the cost of such to people .

A ministry may decide to buy rollers and filters and package the water through the exact same process as bottled water (which is a good practice, if you are going to encourage them to drink it) some may decide to buy already bottled water and just pray on it, some may decide to even use water from water dispensers and just create bottles and fill them up.

In the end, there is nothing wrong with selling such things in church. Its the way you go about it that matters.

Nevertheless, my advise is to pray for Pastors because, al, things are lawful but not all things may be expedient to them according to the call they have received
