It is a real pity. I recognize this path they are walking. I have seen many people lost in it. It leads to nowhere but emptiness.

The exchange of words is highly unnecessary and unbecoming of adults, Pipbasket and Jorel1. We are all here for two things : to trade and learn. Please, you guys should settle your differences.

Trading and learning from each other will be much more easier without the noise of bickering. This is what children do, not adults.

Since when did culinary skills become a male requirement in addition to the natural duty of building a home and providing for the family?

So the daily challenge of putting food on the table is not enough; I must also learn to cook the food?

Any lady who cannot marry a bloke without cooking skills is #OnHerOwn. Not sexist, note. Rolling out my opinion on a grass of facts.

That is not to belittle the importance of men possessing cooking skills. My only grouse is when you make it a compulsory factor to the exclusion of more important factors such that it has greater influence on your selection of a future partner. That is when the sublime becomes the really real ridiculous.

Lies. The Nigerian Army reeks of so much lies that it is nauseating. Imagine the lame reasons put forward as excuse for snuffing out the lives of peaceful and armless community dwellers. Well, God is on the throne.

This is not a note written by a 9 year old.

Op, I praise God with you. Stand on a hilltop and scream it so loud that the devil will become deaf. We overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by our testimonies of the Lord's doing.

In this day and age, where the devil has intensified his tireless efforts of bombarding the earth with objects of lusts and sexual impurity from all angles it is a great testimony that one is kept from defilement by the power of God up until she got married. She is thanking God for that but you guys are telling her to keep her voice down. Haba. That's even what the devil likes - thank God for what He has done but in your privacy so that he won't be put to shame if others get to know about it.

Nwapastor, may God continue to grant your heart's desires. Amen.

According to you

To talk true don turn crime abi?

Since you speak the truth let me ask you a few questions:

When Burying Alive was practiced in the 2nd century China BC, I guess the Chinese were Christians then, right?


The man who designed the Brazen Bull in the year BC in Greece was a born again Christian, am I right?


In Rome, when early Christians were fed to the beasts in the Coliseum, Emperor Nero was the staunch Christian who ordered the deaths of his fellow believers, abi?


In the 18th century China, when Execution by Sawing was practiced, Christianity was one of the widely practiced beliefs so that Christians formed the majority in the population, isn't it, Hahn?


History records that Vlad the Impaler was well-known as a Christian who loved to kill people by impaling them. Of course, this is a fact according to you.


After being through school, your fact told you that there were practicing Christians in China in the year 900 when Death By A Thousand Cuts (Ling Chi) was developed. Please tell me there were Christians in China then so that we may guage your level of knowledge.


Since speaking the truth is not a crime, in the same way asking to know the truth is not a crime, too.

So there are xtians living under Isis? I thought they kill infidels at gunpoint.Anyway,am glad she's still a 12 year old pagan xtian kid-if not,Her killers have better chances of salvation.unlike the xtian god who would burn a new born baby in hell if not yet baptised.Thanks to the abundant mercy of Allah(SWT).

May God help your soul.

Jeez, like someone said thank God for Jesus Christ.


@Hahn, what do you have with Christians? Why is it that when you can't find sleep you suspect Christians of theft?

the moments u begin to realise that the bible stories were jst Jewish view of the creation jst like many other cultures have theirs, then u will see the reasons behind several contradictions in the bible.
If u cud believe in
1. a talking snake
(snakes use to walk in those days until they were cursed to start crawling to this day)
2. a tower to reach heaven explanation for languages
3. The universe created in six days and about 10,000 years old.
4. A ship that carried all the living creatures of the earth including snails, all varieties of ants, butterflies, cockroaches, etc
5. adam and eve populated asians, whites, blacks
sooo many other things.
If u cud believe this Jewish version, y can't u believe the yoruba or ibo version.
seek knowledge, read books, do researches, human history., science, anthropology, archeology. You were indoctrinated from birth and society to believe wat u defend today, and u chose to remain in that constraint and circle of knowledge. Many ve advanced far beyond the bible stories and discovered more truths and facts, many ve seeked knowledge creating the basis of human development, advancements, discoveries, breakthrough in sciences and technology and some still look up to the sky to pray while others are doing space explorations

The Bible is a fairytale to you but to those who 'know' their God, it is God's love letter to man, His message of comfort, hope, assurance and love for His creation. It is His power unto salvation for those who are saved. The Bible is God's map to His kingdom and His people follow it. Finally, it is much much more than you can ever understand with your finite mind and reasoning.


Stay blessed

1. The all knowing God did not see when the serpent walked to tempt Eve. If he did, why didn't he do somtin abt it? or why was he surprised wen he discovered they had sinned.

God permitted the serpent to tempt Eve. He already knew what would happen but He had to let Eve make a choice between obeying Him or disobeying Him. He did not give her freewill only to stifle it or keep her from making use of it. If He had interfered, He would have unjustly denied Eve of exercising her power of choice. God will never have that as He is fair and just in all His dealings.

2. If the all powerful God could create angels and lucifer that were capable of rebellion, then he can't control wat he created, then y wud he even wait for many years for his creatures to make more billions of humans perish befr interfering?

Every angel possesses the ability to make a choice. God created sin to give the angels choice to serve Him or rebel against Him. He never denies any of His creation the power to exercise their freewill. You've forgotten that one-third of the angels that sinned were cast out of heaven. What happened to the rest of the angels who did not sin or rebel? Were they not capable of rebellion?

God has permitted the devil and his angels to try mankind as it is necessary that man be tested so that he makes a choice between following God or following the devil.

3. Even the all knowing, perfect and all powerful God accepted he made mistake and regretted that if had known he won't ve created man. so he never knew?

Even before there was anything called Earth or angels, before time was born, God already knew Adam would fall, Eve would listen to the serpent and sin against Him so don't even go there.

ur religious mind wud find a way to defend all these things above, but ur logic, human reasonings and intelligence will ponder over the truths and facts stated above

You have to balance the use of reasoning and intelligence with faith in order to see the Truth. Over dependence on either one is detrimental to the person. Why would God give us reasoning capacity if He did not want us to use it? Again, why would God give every man on earth a measure of faith if He did not want them to exercise their God-given ability of faith?

dazzlingd:

to say everything God created is good is self contradicting, If all he created was good then why do we have evil things like the devil himself, why do we ve parasites and disease causing organisms since God created everytin.


let me ask you, who created hell? is hell good?

When the Bible said "God said let there be...." it was talking about the earth and the things in it where He put man to have dominion over the works of His hands, where He loved to fellowship with man.

Yes, God created hell. He created it for the devil and his angels. That's where they are to spend eternity.







God created man in His image, perfect, but He did not deny man the right to choose or He would have been accused of being unfair and unjust. Man would have been a robot without a soul but having life if he did not excercise his freewill to choose the path he wanted. Being given a will God did not take it back from man. He let man excercise it without interference from Him. This is why He not only placed the Tree of Life in the garden of Eden but also the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil alongside it to give man the opportunity to make a choice between two actions - to choose to obey or disobey Him.








However, God sent His Son to pay the price and suffer the consequences of the sin man committed that man may be saved. God stretched His hand of salvation towards man through Jesus Christ and His hand is stretched still even today. Sadly, it will not be stretched forever. However, you have to choose to accepr or reject His outstretched hands of salvation through the power of choice He gave you.








In effect, God did not make the choice for you to be condemned or saved - you made the choice. In other words, you made the choice to go to hell or spend eternity with God. God has given you everything you need to be saved but you choose to be condemned. If you reject help and become a victim, who will you blame for your destruction? The same God who offered help to you times without number?

MizJanet, there's a physical body and there's a spiritual body. The physical body dies and decomposes but the spiritual body lives forever.

Christ was not talking about the physical body being thrown into hell. He was talking about the soul in an unregenerated spiritual body being cast into hell.

Why do you atheists keep yammering about the fear of hell as the only motive for serving God as if the only thing the Bible talks about is hell?

What happened to eternity in heaven, sweet fellowship with the Holy Spirit, mighty gifts of the Holy Spirit, the relationship between the Father and His children who He has made kings and queens, princes and princesses in heavenly places, what about the blessings and grace of the Father, the love of Jesus Christ for His younger brothers and sisters that He came to die for them, what about unending peace and joy and hope springing eternal in the heart of the true Christian, what about the power a Christian possesses through the indwelling Spirit of God to put demons to flight, to subdue the powers of darkness? I haven't even mentioned the Christian's unlimited access to the riches, strength, wholeness of the spirit, soul and body, prosperity of the soul, supernatural help from God, provision, grace, unmerited favour, freedom from curses, and the power of evil to imprison one, spiritual growth, the power of God to save, and abundant life in Christ only possible through the death of Jesus christ. Time will fail me to list even many others.

Finally, perfect love casts out all fear. If you love a lion but fear to be close to it your love is imperfect and false. You know the lion will devour you whether you love it or not. It sees you as its meal. That is not the case with God. You can be so close to God that nothing else matters except just being in His Presence. You want to worship Him because you love Him so much. But that's not where it ends. You find out that God's love fore you is far greater than you can imagine and that He loves and cherishes you much more than you love Him.

Now, seeing there are hundreds of reasons to love God and serve Him with all your heart what has the fear of hell got to do with any of them?

I respect your decision to be an atheist. It doesn't take away anything from the Body of Christ. Rather, the Body of Christ keeps growing to completion. You can be whatever or whoever you want to be, solely your decision, not mine. But have this mind, not everyone serves God for the reason you do - the fear of hell fire. That's absurd. Live your life as you wish bro.

Peeps saying rip don't even care to determine the authenticity of this report. Pity.

No source, no report in the media, nothing. Who are you guys directing your rip comments? Someone who may well be in his mansion enjoying the view of the landscape?

Until it is confirmed I'll just ignore this. Lalasticlala, I hope you do the same.

Is this english or portugese?

No source? This is just plain rumour.

Joey150, no such thing as purgatory. It is a demon inspired teaching that is meant to make you lukewarm in your Christian walk.

Christ is coming for a Bride without spot or wrinkle. Purgatory teaches that it is okay for the Bride to have little spots or wrinkles and that Christ would accept her since they are too negligible to be considered.

If you die in sin, whether the sin be small or great, you die without Christ and except God brings you back to life to repent you're forever beyond redemption.

The situation of bokoharam and fulani herdsmen attack has created a fertile ground for the massacre of people of other faiths in which Christians make up a large number so yes Op is on point.

However, Op may have forgotten that the earth belongs to the Christians, not the Muslims, that it is the unchangeable decree of God the Almighty.

Yes, He permits the world to spill the blood of His children. He permits the death of His children through cold-blooded murder by religious extremists. In the end, Christ will return with His saints to rule the earth and usher the dawn of the new age which is endless where He rules and reigns with His children.

The script of world events has already been written even before the foundation of this world. Therefore, no matter what happens Christians come out on top in the end.

orisa37:
End time Malaise. Though started in Turkey very long time ago and Nigeria is just experiencing it now is a pointer to the fact that we don't Christ properly and don't follow His ways the way we should. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one makes Heaven without Him. The Church and/or Mosque of Nigeria is Nigeria and The God of Nigeria resides in Nigeria. The Way CAN, Roman Catholics, Anglican, The numerous Pentecostals, The Muslims, Moslems and the various Islamic Movements are going about Religion is absurd, selfish and unprogressive. Your suggested solutions are relevant but the most important solution is that we cast aside those foreign styles and build on Nigeria. Nijar is our God and Nigeria is His Sanctuary(Church or Mosque).

The bolded have me really

So in other words, God doesn't forgive ?

Yes He does. Every man on earth has access to His grace of forgiveness provided through the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your kind words. May our papa increase your love for him so that you go sidon gidigba with am.
make i invite you come our thread nah. (Seeing Demons, Fallen Angels etc). look for am. E no hard to find.
Thank you very much enh.

Haha. You're welcome. Amen to that.

For some inexplicable reason, I stay out of that thread. It is quite revealing and all that but it is not for me. Anyway, honoured to have your invite. Will stop by on my way to other threads.

Once again, you're welcome.

yea, yea. it was very warm indeed. and the warmness came from you. you know, you men are warm blooded.

Lol. Now you just hurt my feelings with your sense of humour.

sweetcocoa:
How is it fact if there is no way to verify it?

Paranormal events cannot be verified through scientific tests and observation. Their claim to fact highly depends on personal experience and other people's experiences, and personal observation. You see, its claim to fact is subjective. Nonetheless, a reality....there's still much to clarify about this but this should suffice as answer to your question.

sweetcocoa:
Fact being that ghosts exist?

They exist but they are not ghosts of people who have died. They are evil spirits, demons, diabolical creatures, fallen angels wearing the mask of someone you know in order to lead you to destruction and damnation. That is a fact but not fact as defined by the physical senses of observation.

For example, in a house haunted by these spirits it is possible that only one or two people among others can detect the presence of the so-called ghosts, and can even hold conversation with them while others think their link to rational behaviour has been broken, that the mind has snapped. Because you can't see it does not automatically resign it to unreality.

analice107:

So now i don spin you ba? I never spin any guy before oo. Anyways, don't fret am a harmless Christian gal.

Hahaha. I believe I'm dizzy from the spinning. I'm also harmless. A trait we have in common.

Oh, I forgot to add. Thanks for your very warm hug.

analice107:

hahahahahaha.
Okay, then Open your arms and let me fall inside your chest. Hmm, you are warm and strong, good, very good.

about my outspokenness, Atheists in this forum turned me into this monster oo.
Just yesterday, the Holy Spirit rebuked me for being too hash. He told me that i cant win anyone to my side if a rebuff him. everyone wants to be respected and treated special, with that you can get just any body to listen. But i was shouting down on everyone. I felled so bad. I prayed for the grace to be calm and mild, am a woman after all. Anyway oo. By experience i also know that calm and mild women are more dangerous than the outspoken ones. Which ever, i have to stop.

I love the colourful ring of your laughter.

And on the contrary, I enjoy your outspokeness. It is refreshingly beautiful and captivating. It is the emerald that lends charm and attraction to your personality. That's how I feel about it.

The only thing I see about your honest admission is that you're special. Not only that, I greatly admire your relationship with the Father. I'm cultivating a relationship with Him, too. Takes time but worth it. And please do not stop being outspoken -- it's the magnetism in your make-up that makes you attractively unique.
