Show me where God forbids Gambling in the Bible? Why are you not a Gambler? If God has no Problem with it then who are you to decide it is wrong?

And what stops you from celebrating other pagan festivals like Halloween, Yam Festival, Egungun festival, Amadioha festival, etc?

I actually celebrate new yam festival. Why shouldn't I thank God for the harvest. And in Igbo land the new year festival is the beginning of the year. I don't celebrate Anadioha festival because I don't worship Anadioha. And I think Halloween is super fun.
When it comes to gambling, the bible warns against covetousness. Gambling is basically coveting other people's money and taking people's money that you did not work for.
Also, about gambling, the bible clearly condemns it.
Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
Gambling is a get rich quick scheme and nothing more.
Are you cleared now?

how does being a programmed robot or not being a programmed robot answer the following questions?

1. how does the responses you provided answer the questions I repeated?

2. where here am I supposed to see the answer to my questions?

3. if you understand my questions, what Netanyahu not being God and Biden and tinubu not being able to stop crime got to do with my questions?

4 why did this Bibi not prevent the attack despite getting information of the pending attack?

5. if Netanyahu messes with Israel, will he face the consequences?

6. what is the answer that I dont understand?

Programed robots can't understand answers beyond their programing

AntiChristian:
I agree with you that Angels singing and the showing of Stars are Christmas celebration on every December 25th in the Bible. The Angels did celebrate the birthday every year till Jesus died. Even till today their fireworks star can still be heard!

An Angelic gathering is a social gathering which can also be enjoyable! Biblical Angels can drink wine!

Ok now your point is that the angels did not do it every year so those celebrating it every year are sinners right? Well it's clear that you are only looking for faults.
The bible clearly defines what is sin and what God hates. Trust me when I say that the yearly celebration of Christmas isn't one of those things. If God has no problem with it, who are you to decide it is wrong?

4. are you sure you understand the questions asked?

If you can't see the answer to your question here then I can't help you. I understand your question but you don't even understand your question or the answer.

You don't get it do you. Why have Biden, Tinubu, and all the world leaders failed to stop all the crime in their country. Do you see how foolish your question is?

AntiChristian:
So celebration is singing and showing of stars?

Alright!

I've had enough!

You can get enough when ever you want. But if you claim that the angels did not celebrate the birth of Christ, it's either you honestly don't know the meaning of celebration or you are just trying to be dishonest for the sake of argument.
But In case you are truly honest and you don't know the meaning of celebration, here is a copy and paste from the dictionary.

acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity.

You don't have shoe but you choose terrorism.

AntiChristian:
Days to mark idols are not holy! Sunday is to worship the sun! Monday is for the moon! So when you mark Christmas or new year you're following the pagan script. It is clear there was no precedence from God or any Prophet!
My God did not create any day to worship idol. Everyday is to worship him and celebrate him.

This is either Ignorance or falsehood. 1. Paul allegedly said in Romans 6:16:
[b]Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?[/b
Again you don't understand the words you read. The facts that we are servants of God actually liberates us and frees us. The verse you quoted has nothing to do with the argument.


But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
I don't know the version of the bible you use. Mine says servants to God. Very big difference. You need to state the version of your Bible.

Luke also said in Acts 3:13
[b]The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.
Here we see Jesus relegated to being a servant of God by Luke.

(Many Bible translations including NKJV used "Servant Jesus" in the above verse but KJV, Catholic and Aramaic Bible translation used "son Jesus". Amplified Bible decided to used "Servant and son Jesus" showing amplification of course. Young's Literal translation used "His Child Jesus".)
[/b]
You don't really have a point here. The bible states that we are Gods sons as well as his servants. It's super simple. As his sons, we serve him and work in his vineyard.


Did they blast fireworks, greet one another merry Christmas or kill chicken or brandish their houses with pagan Xmas trees?

Actually yes. There was a new star. A star is basically fireworks. And there was singing. Is that not celebration enough.?

AntiChristian:
It's not a personal opinion! The origin is idolatrous! Even moreso you still follow what lack evidence from your so-called scripture!

Anyways, no so Christianity be. You just follow others' whims and desires!

Again you are wrong. The origin of every day is Holy. God made the days so no day belongs to the devil or to idolatry. Just because some idol worshiper chose a particular day doesn't make that day evil. Remember Psalm 118: 24 This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. No day was made by or for the devil.

The beauty of Christianity is our freedom. We are not slaves. We keep God's commandments as stated in the scriptures; beyond that, we can decide what we celebrate or don't. For Christians as long as an action isn't against God's will as stated in the scriptures and taught by his spirit, we would not be condemned for it. Anyway, I don't blame you. I completely understand why this will be difficult for a Muslim to comprehend. Do you get it now?

If for example, I choose to celebrate Jesus Christ's walking on water every Eid al-Fitr day, as long as I am not breaking any commandment and I am observing the word of God, it will not be counted as a sin unto me.

God created us to be different and he understands that we will worship him in our different ways. That's why we don't have a central time for prayer.

One more thing. Now this is my opinion. Remember that the angels in heaven celebrated the birth of Christ? So it's not a very crazy idea for humans to do the same. Or what do you think?

AntiChristian:
Christmas Is Idolatrous And Unscriptural - Pastor Kumuyi

Christmas is demonic - Pastor Olukoya

So why are Christians still celebrating it?

That is his personal opinion. No day of the year is demonic. And celebrating the birth of our Saviour is the opposite of idolatry.
If the argument is that it is not scriptural then we all can agree. No one will go to heaven for celebrating it or for not celebrating it. Christianity is not as difficult as we sometimes make it.

AntiChristian:
How many of the governing body dey among the richest Pastors in the world?

No be all Una Pentecostals dey dere?

I actually agree with you here. I have no problem with the JW being a wealthy organization as long as the wealth is visible in the lives of its members.

Some religious groups in the United States have higher rates of poverty than others, including:
Historically Black Protestant: 53% of members have incomes under $30,000
Jehovah's Witness: 48% of members have incomes under $30,000
National Baptist Convention: 9% of members live in households with incomes of at least $100,000
Church of God in Christ: 9% of members live in households with incomes of at least $100,000

Those kids would have have been alive if there wasn't any event organised by Ex Olori

Millions would not have died if cars had not been invented. You clearly don't understand life. She is not responsible for their deaths unless you can prove negligence on her part.
Just like you and I, she is human and can't predict the future. No one would organize an event if they knew it would lead to death and their ultimate disgrace.

Sharpsharp00123:
In Igbo land everyone is a billionaire, just build one house, buy 3 cars, collect chieftaincy title n pay some hungry social media influencers then u become a billionaire

In Nigeria, to be a billionaire is very easy. All it takes is to be worth a billion naira. Most importers have many times that. But if you are talking about dollar billionaires that's a different thing.

Watianoengineer:
The way they abuse the word billionaire in that part of the country will make one think poverty doesn't exist amongst them. Build pig pens and post it online, you're automatically an anambra billionaire. Mtcheeew


Real billionaires don't make noise.

You are not a billionaire stop telling us how real billionaires behave because you will never know. But then, you could mention your village and tell us your contribution to your people.

There is common ground among most religions. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are "Abrahamic religions" So yes they have a lot in common. But that means little or nothing because each believes the other is false.

Namaster:
We'll NEVER know.

But ONE thing is certain:
He'd have performed BETTER than Harris did.

The Democrats put too much trust in American people. They believed that they were better people than they actually are.

Harris had to FIGHT against 2 MAJOR rot in the American society:
1. Racism.
2. Sexism.

Outside of those 2, there is NO metric in which Donald could outperform Harris.

They called her dumb until she completely DECIMATED Trump in the debate.
She destroyed him so much, Trump RAN from a second debate.


But Americans, including the Dems who abstained from voting, would rather have a RAPIST PEDOPHILE with 34 FELONY convictions than vote for a black woman.

Trump is ALREADY shitting on his voters by changing his stance on immigration.

His voters say they DON'T want Indians on H1B visas taking their tech jobs so Trump should BAN it.

Elon Musk says H1B visa is good and Trump should EXPAND it.

They attacked Musk. But Trump weighed in to say Elon Musk is RIGHT.



Consequences are coming.

You seem to be not a very smart person.
In 2016, more Americans voted for a woman (Clinton) than a man (Trump) then, there was no sexism.
In 2008 and 2012, more Americans voted for a Black man over white men, then there was no racism.
Abeg it's not a sin to use your brain.

[quote author=AntiChristian post=133497035]Many too killed in the name of Yahweh. Only Joshua was busy killing in:
Joshua 1:2
Joshua 6:20
Joshua 10:28
Joshua 10:42
Joshua 11:16-17
Again, you are off point. My point was that I would not judge all Muslims as murderers just because most terrorists are Muslims so when you say " I've seen many Christians telling God what to do" That doesn't make it a Christian standard. hope you understand my point now




Jesus didn't have all knowledge o! He was hungry and had to move closer to a fig tree to know it had no fruit.
And secondly he didn't know the hour!
And he didn't overcome anything at all!
You again are wrong. Remember we are judging by what was written in the bible not what was written in the Quran.
The bible makes us understand that all powers were given to him after his death and resurrection.
Matt. 28 Verses 18
[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
It also clearly taught that he overcame all things.
John 16:33
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Revelation 3:21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father on his throne.
I understand that you don't believe that, but that's what the bible taught, and we can't force you to believe. We can only teach you and allow you to make a choice.
Does this answer your question?

Captain4Jehovah:
A bastard will deny his father's name even at a point of death. A bastard will say he does not want his father's name. A bastard does not have any inheritance with his father.
Even the Quran states it clearly he is God. They know the truth but they want to acknowledge it.

Don't mind them my brother.

AntiChristian:
Allah says in Qur'an Surah Luqman 34: "Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs".

So only Allah knows the hour. Even Jesus needs to get info from Allah for him to know.

Same as Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam and other Prophets.

And I've seen many Christians telling God what to do. Jesus said he will request the holy spirit to show you the truth.

So help us as as we need to know the truth about the hour.

As for Christians telling God what to do, it's not biblical so those you saw are on their own. In our religion, we receive instructions from God and not the other way round.
I know some Muslims who kill in the name of their God, do we now take murder to be the right way of Islam?
If you want to have all knowledge just like Jesus Christ did, he has already told you what to do. Overcome all things just like he did. Then you will know the date of his second coming.

Also you refused to answer my question. Please attempt it.

Bandirao:
lol there problem arise from eating the wrong type of food due to lack of education e.g only cassava, yams, and maize with no protein.

There is actually no food shortage in the village

You really don't get it.
Most households in the villages are only able to grow one or two crops. It's not easy and it's much less profitable for them to engage in multi crops. These people cannot afford a decent life. That's why people are living the villages.
People are not living the villages to go and suffer in the cities. They live the village because of poverty. Imagine a cassava farmer who can't afford to buy meat. And who can't afford treatment when his kid is sick.

EmperorCaesar:
Theres this saying that "Its better to be a Lion in the village, than to be a dog in the city"

You're a king,bro

Forget about thousands of people living in Abuja and Lagos hoping to become the next Elon Musk after paying for everything with their blood



Happy for you

You are the real MVP. Farmers are Kings

If you are looking for real poverty, go to the villages. It is funny that they produce all the food yet you will find more malnourished kids in the villages. This is coming from someone who has traveled to almost all states in Nigeria. I do bulk buying of farm crops just so you know.

AntiChristian:
Let him share it with you! And you should inform us here!

In your religion, do you tell your God what to do or do you take instruction from him? You seem so keen on teaching your God how and what to do. We are really so different. If God chooses to reveal the day of his coming to man, he will. If not, why ask what is of no need to you?
An assignment for you. Please ask your God to reveal the day you are going to die and share it with us here on Nairaland. What do you think about this

AntiChristian:
That proves that up till now the father still refuses to share the date with the son and the spirit.

Now you are talking like a child. It only proves that he has refused to share it with you. I gave you verses that should enlighting you please read them and all your concerns will be resolved

AcadaWriter0:
Jesus is the son of God and serves as the mediator between God and humanity.

If he is the Son of God, then he is clearly God or don't you think?

AntiChristian:
Help me ask the holy spirit to get the date of the hour from Jesus now?

But you know that's not how God works. He doesn't waste his revelations. He gives them only when needed. Even if you are not a Christian, you should know this. You shouldn't be talking like someone who doesn't believe in God.
