The WORD became active due to creation, it's in respect of God's creation that the WORD was introduced, in the absence of creation the WORD is useless. So when talking about things related to the creation as in what belongs to God the WORD is LIMITED untill the father orders him! Psalms 110:1-2
In the beginning was this Word! Its the Word who became Flesh as the SON!
If it's Archangel Michael (Jesus) he himself said:
Therefore, in response Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, the Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son does also in like manner. John 5:19
Even though Michael (Jesus) was employed during creation {Proverbs 8:22-31} he can't make any decision on his own except his father authorize him to do so. That's why Michael (Jesus) could say to Satan "Jehovah will deal with you" Jude 9
You can continue deceiving yourselves, at least Governing Body of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are not here now while i'm answering all of you with scriptural backings. I wonder which of you can answer adequately if i should decide to throw questions to you as you're doing to me now! Luke 12:11-12
EMILO2STAY: the arv is a slow killer and if she does not stop it, it will eventually kill her. you can have immune deficiency but it is not caused by a virus but rather it is caused by unhealthy life style and lack of proper diet. the whole situation can be reversed by taking healthy diet nutrition. it is just ignorance that fuel this manipulation. this arv was a cancer drug back in the 60s but was taken of the shelf because it was too toxic to use in treating cancer it is poison. but later brought back as a treatment for HIV.
I hear you. AIDS is real o! Go visit our teaching hospital and you'll be amazed.
So if you truly believe we are demonized can you PRESENT the a holinized group?
They are the sons of God redeemed by the Blood of Christ the saviour. They have their names written in the Book of Christ. Jesus calls them "His Church". They are everywhere in the world! They are not defined by denomination or buildings. These ones have come to Christ for a new life Luke 11:18 37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
John 10:14 14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
EMILO2STAY: aids is a big hoax and I am not joking. the arv he took killed him not aids. and will kill his wife too if she does not stop that drug . do you think their is a gold standard of detecting aids? no! why , because the whole thing is a big scam just like covid19 . you can be positive in Nigeria but negative in America. why do you think it's like that, because they want reduce your population in the african continent and that is why they give out the drug freely. If HIV was real more than 50% of the entire world population would be dead buy now. think.
Once a person gets AIDS, it is too late.
It is the wife on ARV drugs. She's been on it for up to 7 years now. The Husband is dead if AIDS.
Well Satan proceeded to enter into the midst of God's Sons in heaven because though he may be a rebel but he is still one of them!
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 1:6
It was later in 1914 that Michael (Jesus) was given the authority to cast Satan and his demons out of heaven! Revelations 12:7-12 compare with Psalms 110:1-2
Well Jesus said oneness in thought will only be made possible by his father to whom he knelt down and prayed {John 17:20-23} Satan can't do such because it's only through God's Holy Spirit that such can be possible of course only Jehovah and Jesus are in possession of the Holy Spirit!
Nothing strange here Luke 11:18 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
Of course it doesn't make any sense claiming you're worshiping one God in the absence of oneness in thought! John 17:20-23; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3; Philippians 2:2
Remember we are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES not ECWA Church!
One of the foremost sons of God! That doesn't exclude him from being one of them nah! He can only serve his father as the firstborn of all creation! Colossians 1:15
Dont play on words: Like I am also one of the sons of God. LOL!
THe creator of satan cannot be in the same league with satan.
The system is what you need to understand. In the spirit world their existence is caused by supernatural means not like ours that everyone can explain (birth) so after God created Michael and taught him so many things, Michael was given the wisdom to create all other things but that doesn't mean he himself is no more one of God's creation. It only makes him the firstborn! Colossians 1:15
Today we have the foremost of humans who have lived above 50 years, most of them caused the birth of the next generation. But if any of them should kill a toddler even if it's his/her own child that makes him/her a criminal not so? But remember he/she is one of the FOREMOST and could even be the cause of the toddler's existence (father or mother) yet he can't take the life of what he brought. Do you now understand?
But Michael is just ONE of the Princes Daniel 10:13 NWT 13 But the prince of the royal realm of Persia stood in opposition to me for 21 days. But then Miʹcha·el, one of the foremost princes, came to help me; and I remained there beside the kings of Persia.
Only their governing body is permitted to interpret the Bible for them they are not permitted to read it and interpret it
But why they not just be like the Berean Christians who wouldn't even believe what the Apostles have said with their own mouths unless if it agrees with the scriptures. This is my major problem with them. Scriptures and its comprehension doesn't make sense to them except it passes through the old men at the headquarters for the sake of uniformism. These men are not infallible!
Jesus surely created (all other things) but he was also created by Jehovah {Proverbs 8:22} as the first and foremost creature he has learnt so much about justice and wisdom from his father {John 8:28} therefore as the eldest of God's creation he has no right to deal with any creature unless he is given the go ahead to do so! Psalms 110:1-2
Yes through Jesus (archangel Michael) every other thing were created and all are his property because whatever belongs to his father also belongs to him! Thanks and may you have PEACE!
To you it makes perfect sense that Michael created satan but doesn't have authority over his creation again!
Isn't Michael just one of the chief princes/foremost princes? Daniel 10:13 NWT 13 But the prince of the royal realm of Persia stood in opposition to me for 21 days. But then Miʹcha·el, one of the foremost princes, came to help me; and I remained there beside the kings of Persia.
If Michael created the angels, how could he just be ONE of the foremost of them?
1000Capacity: Different religious group nurse and preach the idea that'll go to heaven one day. A place of eternal enjoyment which is a reward to doing/pleasing a supreme being.
Why would anyone want to live forever, either on Earth or somewhere else, a place which cannot be proven to exist. To top it all up, people who believe in this "heaven" are even more elated that some people will not be qualified to be in heaven and enjoy it with them. Isn't that selfishness.
The longer you live, the more you miss the past because humans are animal that are psychologically connected to the past; the feed, grow and develop on the past.
Apart from that, the longer you live, the more you regret about things "that could have been" and changes you could have made. I wouldn't want to be in a heaven where my family isn't found in, I will live in the heaven with heartaches and pain. Heaven is a selfish idea
Even God will not force you to live with Him in a place where time is INEXISTENT. Since you've chosen where you want to spend your eternity, so be it. ( I pray that you will still receive mercy before its too late)
No he's just a presumptuous child! Surely he doesn't know what he's doing, that's why Jesus asked us to pray for suchlike ones {Matthew 5:44 compare to Luke 23:34} how can someone who is jubilating over the result of promiscuity wake up the next day only to think of judging people for not believing what he believes? Matthew 7:1-4
Certainly he's just a presumptuous Churchgoer!
Jesus created all other things including Satan yet He didn't have the authority to discipline his creature! Jude1:9 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Please refer to Col 1:16-17 NWT 16 because by means of him all [other]* things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities . All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
But Our darling daddy is NOT even AWARE that the citizens of this country are groaning. As long as free vultures are available to be grilled, why should it concern the chairman of the BMC!?
Mr and Miss NLPoliceWoman, don't you see that the the BMC should call their daddy to order?
For once I agree with Femi. Without infrastructure no nation can move forward. All this Health, Power, IT its also infrastructure you'll use to The machines and equipments are also infrastructures
About the loans, you can actually use loan to build an economy provided it has a reasonable return.
That's why people take loan to fund a project you can't have the capitals In fact a reasonable business man won't use his capital and personal Money to fund a long term business, instead he obtains a loan.
Infrastructure isn't what drives the economy. What drives the economy is a sound socio-technological organisation. Roads, Railways, Electric Power etc just like money are simply tools in the hands of good planners and implementors for economic growth.
Poor leadership with no destination will borrow money and spend the monies with nothing to show for it
Our darling daddy is making life comfortable for every Nigerians and since grilling vultures need charcoal and not vehicle number plates, the BMC are happy.
Mr and Miss NLPoliceWoman, don't you see that the the BMC should call their daddy to order?
MakotoShishio: CAGED: 20 Days Captive In Nigeria - Rudy Rochman
"They Treated Us Like Animals"
The We Were Never Lost team journeyed to Nigeria to film an episode of their documentary series exploring the stories, struggles, and aspirations of the Igbo Jews, but while there the team got abducted by the Nigerian government and were held in cages for weeks.
Here is the full account of what actually happened.
“Our experience has only given us even more drive to uncover and share the stories of disconnected communities of Jews around the world.”
“We experienced weeks of what Igbo Jews face every day and if our suffering has led to mainstream Jews waking up to the reality of their Igbo family, then we our proud of the sacrifice we had to pay.”
SultanOfPuna: Between the white man and black man Who is more religious? The black man
If the black man is more religious Yet has NOTHING to offer the world. No technology No invention No Science
The only way Africans will be liberated is when they break free from the chains of religion.
This new generation of Nigerians are rebels. They are the ones that will dedtory Christianity. In 20 years to come, Christianity will decrease drastically in Nigeria. It's only our parents generation that took church to their head. They will all die out and be replaced by a new generation that is fully aware of the evils of organised religion. I love the new generation of youths They are rebelling against their parents old ways of thinking. Parents that are still stuck in 1970's
Its a while I've seen such a myopic level of thinking.
Since money has been found to be the leading motivation for crime, lets stop the CBN from issuing out money and we shall all live in bliss!
Nope, is not just based on import and export man. Ghana is a very good example.
The law of demand and supply. whatever is in short supply will become expensive. Dollar (for Nigerians) is in short supply, hence will be more expensive to buy
Unlettered: The thing is whether we like it or not, we re mostly to blame for the devaluation of the naira. As stated in the thread, alot of people will now hoard the dollar so as to gain something later in the year. So basically we re making the scarcity even hard on ourseves based on our selfish interest.
Alot of the BDC people use their license to go into business with yahoo boys who send them money that can be collected in later times.
The case of naira to dollar is similar to that of PMS sellers. We believe that it can not controlled but as we re now, we have forgotten the last time we had fuel scarcity in the nation. What needs to be worked on is how the govt can actually make the naira appreciate with this new development by stopping the BDC. I believe it will work someday.
God bless nigeria.
Our exchange rate is not based on the BDC activities. It is actually based on the fact that we import most of our consumables. This puts a very high demand on the dollar. Since the CBN cannot give everyone who need dollar the money, people go to BDC even if they have to buy it at twice the price.
Nigerians DONT have alternatives to sourcing Pencils, Rulers, Papers, Pens, Clothings, Phones, Laptops, Cars, Tires, Engine Oil etc Naira will continue to devalue.
What a pity! But the dumb government doesn't seem to know what to do about it.
ursullalinda: For me the CBN should maintain their stand......no selling of forex to BDC's.......whatever we are going through now will be a short term headache but on the long run dollar will come down......BDC operators are damn too greedy and don't care about the economy of the country......but since they are mostly northerners can this administration maintain their stand?

HardMirror: is that your definition of faith? Faith, derived from Latin fides and Old French feid, is confidence or trust in a person, thing, or concept. In the context of religion, one can define faith as "belief in a god or in the doctrines or teachings of religion"
.. fine so whose personality integrity do atheists trust in?
You reject the Personality of the Source of Existence (aka God) If such a personality is rejected, His integrity is also rejected.
The Question is: WHY such a position for a Rejection? Same way for Theists, WHY such a position for a Rejection?
Answer:In ether case, there exist NO direct PHYSICAL proof of FACT of both position
You have simply exchanged one kind of FAITH for another. 1. Christian-Faith in Accepting the Creator 2. Atheist- Faith in Rejecting the Creator
In ether case, there exist NO direct PHYSICAL proof of FACT of both position
Of a truth, an atheist has FAITH in Himself (that he is right about his judgement while the notion of the existence of the Creator is wrong) with no objective EVIDENCE!
If you have an objective evidence about your stance of atheism, lets see!
Drabeey: I propose the word/name Olorun be disregarded as God's nomenclature.
My reasons
Olorun, Ad'eda... Which is same as saying God or Allah in other languages is not a suitable way of regarding the Supreme being in our Yoruba language.
How do i mean?
Olorun simply means 'who own heavens' but is that so suitable? My answer is NO, he owns more than heavens...
Ad'eda.. I still prefer Adeda to Olorun. Ad'eda means who create beings. But wait a minute...
I propose ELEHUN / OLOHUN. You can choose to ignore the letter 'H' as Yoruba alphabets doesn't have H. Elehun or Olohun means the Fabricator or what Fabricated...
If you believe there is God, you should believe he fabricated everything we can still see and feel including heavenly bodies and many other planets in a universe, maybe more. Interestingly, they all work concurrently as one force triggers another.
Who is this great Fabricator na? Olohun. (Greatest Engineer)
Caveat: I don't have any problem with other Languages, but I hope the word describing God in Yoruba language give credence to "Ele'un" for his great works.
I also believe we all have our own different ways of reference to God, i'm more concerned about Olorun
Olorun means literarily Olu (Chief, Ruler) Orun (Heaven)
Olorun isn't the name of God BUT one of the titles as the "God/Deity of Heaven". The Yoruba has no name for the Creator: we call Him by His titles: just like we dont usually call the names of our kings (except for this modern times) we call them by their titles
Adeda (Creator of Humans) is even more limited than Olorun (Owner of the Heavens) Truthfully the Earth is a tiny subset of the Heavens
Hmm. Demons, like most words in this field, are broad in meaning. They could be our thoughts, the one's we are tormented by; they could be that which causes us mental illness; they could be our fellow human beings, the one's that plot evil against us; they could even be ourselves tormenting ourselves. And in context of the verse quoted, they could be beliefs we claim to have but that we do not really have.
Take a Christian, for instance, who claims to be protected by Christ but who wails against perceived or imaginary enemies. Such a person would 'tremble' in fear because, despite their belief of protection, they still fear all evils. As I type this, a certain David comes to mind. If you read the Psalms, you might recognised the trembling of a tormented person despite all his believing.
The point is that belief is not so advantage as that which many claim it is. You would not build a bridge on mere belief but on actual knowledge if bridge building gained through learning. Nor would all the beliefs on earth put food on one's table and in one's belly less one bolsters such believing with some work which requires knowledge. You may imagine a baker, and consider how many loafs his believing may bake in order to hopefully further understand.
But please know that I am not exactly answering your question, for I trust that with some thought on your own behalf, you may be able to answer your own question with greater satisfaction.
But we fight wars based on our BELIEFs and not KNOWING
Secondly, demons are real but only misunderstood
Did Adolf Hitler start the Second world war knowing that he will WIN or LOSE? Did Britain choose to fight Germany despite the odds against them by knowing that they will win the war of by believing?
