Islamist like LeoDeking went wild with celebration on hearing the SE and poverty story, but he never grasped the content of the story.
It takes some education so don't blame some one who thinks western education is a sin (Book Haram)

tsdarkside:
go and google who this statisense people are....
I never said the stat is wrong, I only said you don't understand the stat. The stat is very accurate but it is only relating poverty to land size.
On the other hand, when you relate poverty to population size, the SE is the least poor.
Do you now understand?

tsdarkside:
i dont bother with south easterners....
It doesn't matter just get your stats right.
So the data used to make the calculations shows the NW has a population of 45 million and the SE a population of 22 million.
Meanwhile, Kaduna alone is almost 2x the SE. Do you see why the stats does not reflect actual poverty?

tsdarkside:
after you consider that the north has much more population than south east,then it realy doesnt matter....

south east is poorer than north....
No actually it does.
So the south is about 2 time smaller than the NW in population but it is over 8 times smaller in land size.
Just take your time to do the calculations.

Lol.
If d statistics had praised lgb0s, u will accept it.
Oga clearly you read the headline but you have no idea of stats.
Did you notice that the 3 zones in the north did better that the 3 zones in the south?
Now let me teach you some stats hoping you will comprehend.
Poor people per area is basically poor people per land size.
The SE had the smallest land size by far so it would always lead in such stat
This is simply calculated as poor people divided by land size.
Hope you now understand?

Same region, will want to leave NIGERIA, with their Poverty, same NIGERIANs will say NEVER!..

IGBOs know your real Enemies....
Bro it's one thing to read the headline and another to understand how to interpret stats.
In that same stat, the 3 zones of the north had the least amount of poor people per Capital area while the 3 zones of the south had the highest.
If you understand how to interpret stats you would see why this is not so bad for the south east.

LIAR!
If you truly have a life outside social media and you don't want to get involved in what is happening here you wouldn't be here always questioning the faith and the Bible!

So the definition of insanity is doing the same thing that doesn't work. Look at you for example, you spend each day laboring here for your white slave masters but with little or no results. I can't be like you. I believe in efficiency.
Nairaland is not the platform. Its only my platform for fun.


Why is it that you don't answer questions but keep asking if truly you believe in God's word? cheesy But I just answered your question on the 144k servants spoken about in Revelations

If someone should help you answer the above highlighted question you will still argue but do you think Adam existed before God created him out of the dust?

Ọmọ you're an atheist. All creatures are products of reproductive system after the first pair created directly by God! Genesis 1:20-28
Yes I don't think so. The bible teaches so.
Jeremiah 1.5, Ephesians 1.4
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is Being Born Again? by tctrills: 4:49pm On Apr 21, 2023
[quote author=MaxInDHouse post=122660310]LIAR!
If you know the truth why not help in answering instead of asking questions on a forum that's full of athiests, agnostics, Judaists, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Traditionalists and many more?
Oga I know you can't understand but honestly, I have a life outside social media and clearly Nairaland is not a smart way of sharing my beliefs.

Ọmọ you're a disguised athiest that's why you are always questioning the faith instead of answering questions regarding faith so stop deceiving yourself! cheesy Lol, If asking questions is a sin in JW, its not a sin to me. I am not a slave to your white man boss. I am able to ask even difficult questions.


The blessings aren't the same otherwise Jesus won't say something special is for the Jews {Matthew 10:6; 15:24} and the book of Revelation chapters 7 & 14 clearly revealed that there is a special number 144,000 and say that number is limited to Israelites only! Revelations 7:5-8; 14:1
So I gave you a verse that says the blessings are the very same but then you bring up your 144k false doctrine. Please mention just one verse that teaches that these 144k servants of God would reap a bigger reward. Not one single verse says they would receive more or less than other children of God. You don't need to guess that the 144k would receive more or less of a reward because the bible never said so.
So why not explain what happens in those verses if you truly believe in God's word and not some useless athiest looking for cheap arguments?
Now let me teach you about the 144k servants.
Read verse 9
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
So you see, it was not only 144k in the kingdom of God but a multitude no man could number.
Now let's go on
Verse 3
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
So these men were sealed for a specific job. They were called to serve in a special role. Now what was their job? what were they chosen to do?
Let's go on.
Rev 14
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

Here we see one of their duties was to sing.

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Here we see that they were chosen to be a part of the Saviour's entourage. They were chosen to travel with the Savior wherever he went.

We also learned that they were all men. Is it now clear to you?



Perhaps after teaching JWs our GB also give us a powerful charm to remember quoting verses to answer worthless atheists like you? Any idiot can quote a verse but then all the verses you quote never reflect on the topic. For example, you are yet to quote a single verse that teaches that only Jews can be born again. I would easily bet a million naira that you can't show any such verse.
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is Being Born Again? by tctrills: 1:59pm On Apr 21, 2023
Always asking questions about the Bible and Christ without directing anyone to the BORN AGAIN Christian church where they can get answers shey?
Oga I am not a nairaland pastor like you. I am not here for marketing



According to Jesus Christ his Jewish disciples are the first set of teachers who must go out teaching others {Matthew 28:20} they are the BORN AGAIN that Christ will come into their midst anytime they're two or three in number so Christ can guide their thinking to the right answers when searching the scriptures {Matthew 18:20} so gentiles must rely on what this Jews teaches even though they need to verify by correlating what the Jewish Christians told them with what the prophets penned down about the Christ {Act 17:11} that's how Jesus Christ commissioned Christianity.
No where in the bible did Christ call any of his followers a born again. It's a personal thing. And yes the Gentiles got converted from the words of the Jewish apostles but the rewards are the same for both Jews and Gentiles. Now let me write it again please read.

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Do you see? The blessings are the same for both the Jews and Gentiles. No difference. Please show this to your American teachers and ask them to explain.

So if you can't direct anyone to the church in which the BORN AGAIN Christians are teaching the truth about faith in Christ {Hebrews 13:7, 17} then you're a liar deceiving yourself.
No really, I am not here to preach but to have fun. The bible is not against having fun.
According to Christianity there are teachers who are BORN AGAIN Christians {Ephesians 4:11} it's the BORN AGAIN Christians that must teach others to handle these responsibilities. Please read before you quote. The word born again was not used or referred to in the entire book of Ephesians. You are not an illiterate don't just quote without even knowing what the verse you quote is talking about.

Ọmọ if you don't know all these but always questioning what the scriptures say on a forum not in a church where BORN AGAIN Christians are present to enlighten you then you're simply making mockery of God's word! : I understand your spiritual slave masters teach you that it is evil to ask questions but the bible does not say so. These guys want you to remain under their chains. Bro learn to ask questions[/quote]

Wrong again.
Going by my threads I have great faith in the bible and I don't depend on guesswork but the revealed words.
And like every child of God, I am not afraid to ask questions.
Unlike you, you have no faith in the bible but in the words of old American men.
Unlike you, I read and learn before I argue a point but you just feed on what a white man tells you.
Now tell me, who among us is faithless.
You believe in some white men while I believe in God.

So as I was saying Christ sent his Apostles to all creatures not just the Jews. Let's read from Mark
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
To those that believe, he gave the very same blessing not minding if they are Jews.

Yes the gospel came to the Jews first but the blessings are the same.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

So let's stop this guesswork. For you to be saved, you need to be born again. Jew or gentile

Also I love the fact that I live rent free in your head.
You even keep the record of all my activities on Nairaland.
You are the best fan I will ever have
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is Being Born Again? by tctrills: 11:46am On Apr 21, 2023
[quote author=MaxInDHouse O yeah but he surely said he primarily came for Jews only {Matthew 10:6; 15:24} and the prophecy said people of the nations has to rely on Jews to gain salvation! Zechariah 8:23
No he came to save the whole world. He came to bring salvation to both Jews and gentiles. He died for all. Its foolish of you to think he came only for the Jews and you are still a Christian? Please read this verses below to understand.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:


Its exactly the same blessing for those who believe through the words of the Apostles (The bible) no difference in their blessings. Do you get it now.

So if you can't present a church where all members are BORN AGAIN continue deceiving yourself! cheesy
This again is a foolish idea. Churches are not born again, people are. Jesus Christ never spoke of a born again church.
Let me quote his very words.
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
He did not say except a church is born again so that shows the weakness in your question.[/quote]

So in a nutshell you don't know any RELIGION that's filled with BORN AGAIN so that we can verify from observing them what makes your so called BORN AGAIN differs from false religions shey?

Continue deceiving yourself! cheesy
In a nutshell, religions are not born again Individuals are.
Christ did not say your church needs to be born again. He said you must be born again. It is the person that is born again not the church.
So please stop the guess work.
There are millions of individuals who are born again not the church.
Do you now understand.
Again Christ never said only Jews are to be born again. Please stop the lies.
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is Being Born Again? by tctrills:
MaxInDHouse:
Jesus is referring to the Jews who are his primary assignment {Matthew 10:6; 15:24} not all, he primary assignment is to gather Jews who are going to rule with him it's this Jews that will go preaching and teaching what Jesus taught them so that other nations may be saved through them {Zechariah 8:23} that's the promise God made to Abraham {Genesis 12:1-3} the Jews are supposed to be the first set of people before any other race {Act 2:39} this promise is what makes them feel proud and special to the extent they look down on the rest of Israelites that's why they call those ones "Samaritans" and will not like to have anything to do with them! John 4:9

So if any Jew should come in contact directly with Jesus of Nazareth he must be BORN AGAIN to be in God's Kingdom because that's his primary assignment so Jesus could tell those Jews "You people must be born again" any Jew who never had direct dealing with Jesus could be part of the other sheep {John 10:16} this ones will be subjects in God's Kingdom not the first set of ruling class! Luke 12:32

It was their rejection of Jesus Christ that opened the way for people of other nations to be called into the first set {John 1:11-12 compare to Matthew 22:8-10} that's the import of 144,000 who follows the lamb anywhere he goes! Revelations 14:4

Abeg don't change the subject present the church of BORN AGAIN Christians all through let's see how organized they are because that is the one and only evidence Jesus promised as sign to know his real group! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

Failure to present that means you are saying the spirit of God is a failure.

So i'm waiting! smiley
No you are wrong. Jesus Christ never said only the Jews could be born again. No single verse declared that only the Jews could be born again.

Your religion is just guesswork. So you guessed he was referring to Jews when instead he said all must be born again.

No verse in the entire bible teaches that only the Jews would be saved or would enter the kingdom of God.
The apostles of Christ did not have two different messages. It was the same message for both the Jews and gentiles.
Read the words of the Savior
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

In the early church, all, both Jews and gentiles were the same before God. Cornelius was not a jew.

Yes the gospel was first preached to the Jews but the same message was preached to the gentiles.

Now to you question. Again you asked a very foolish question and I would tell you why.
Only God can tell if or when someone is born again.
Being born again is not a title. You do not see it on someones forehead. So asking for a born again church shows you are confused.
Now let's read the scriptures to understand what it means to be born again.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Do you see why your question is foolish? Being born again is beyond the church you attend. Its those who will overcome.

He cannot enter into the womb of his mother a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water+ and spirit,+ he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. 7 Do not be amazed because I told you: You people must be born again.

Your argument continues to be childish. Don't you see how foolish your set up is? Your ogas at the top tell you that they are born again but you can never be born again. You can never enter the kingdom of God only your Ogas would be allowed. Only your white American bosses.
At least the other churches you condemn are better. They did not create an exclusive club for those who would be saved.
Now you are right, born again don't contradict themselves and also, they don't contradict the words of Christ.
How come 8 million people are being fooled by their few American so called born again.
So you would never be part of the Kingdom of God, you know it but you are excited about it because 😜 your bosses tell you to be.

MaxInDHouse:
Many things Jesus said were taken out of context by misinformed churchgoers. The verse most people quotes regarding born again is not talking to all Christians but as usual some impostors who have been misled by their cravings for material possessions {Philippians 3:18-19} these people are the ones misleading others {2Timothy 3:13} saying everyone must be born again.

Nicodemus was the one and only person Jesus directly talked to about being born again it was never mentioned again so what happened?

The first century Jews had a high court and all members of this court serve as the religious rulers among the Jews {John 3:1 compare to Luke 18:18} this ruling class strongly believe that they've prepared themselves ready for the Kingdom of the promised Messiah (Christ) as they're seeing to the affairs of the Jewish nation and teaching their people God's word.
The group was made up of two fractions:
Pharisees ~ Religious ruling class based on the reformation of the temple and edited laws of Moses, they have added their own meaning to the laws and this was affected by what they learned from pagan customs like Babylon and Greece, they felt the God of Abraham is higher than all others so they forbid their people from mentioning His name this is a misinterpretation of what was written in the Mosaic laws. Exodus 20:7
Sadducees ~ Religious ruling class arranged by Herod Antipas the Judea King. This group only sit in the court to protect the interest of King Herod so they also add their own opinion which often leads to arguments between the two groups {Act 23:6-7} however the Roman government colonizing them decreed that if they want to be recognized by Roman empire they must agree as one (this was used as a snare to make them disagree so that both will be cancelled) but the two groups agreed.
The Roman government also forced them to agree that any of the two groups can produce the High Priest of the Jews even though this is in total contrast to what was written in God's law both groups agreed as they're desperately interested in being part of the political movement.
Their major concern is that the Messiah (Christ) will come and lead them into conquest first against Rome and all other powerful nations of the earth {Daniel 2:44} so that they will rule forever with the Christ as written in the prophecies! Isaiah 9:6-7

So when Jesus of Nazareth began performing up to expectation just as it was written in the scriptures many of them realized that at last the Messiah (Christ) has arrived but instead of coming into their midst and planning with them on how to proceed with the things written Jesus was going to poor and sinful Jews who only manage to pick few things from the teachings of their religious rulers so it was like what they expected totally differs from what the young man (Jesus) is doing! huh

This is why some of them like Nicodemus went to seek Jesus' approval secretly {John 3:2} and trust Jesus who is highly intelligent he quickly hit the nail on the head by telling Nicodemus that what that group is expecting none of them can have it unless they humble become part of his disciples and forgo all their political ambitions {Luke 18:18-23} so they must be baptized as disciples of Christ and await the baptism by the spirit which only belongs to those who will be fully prepared to work for the Christ {John 3:3-6 compare to Matthew 20:20-23} many Jews surely got baptized in water and became Jesus' disciples but before long most of them deserted Jesus when he used an illustration to emphasize what they needed to do before they can be part of his ruling team! John 6:48-66

However twelve of all his disciples stood firm knowing fully well that there's no other place or group they can be to gain salvation {John 6:67-69} but despite all their suffering with Jesus one out of the twelve also lost in the race! John 6:70-71

By the time God will baptize the first set of Christ's co-rulers among the Jews 120 loyal disciples of Christ were together faithfully praying to God in Jesus name in anticipation of the promises of God and what Jesus told them, that was the day they were baptized as the first set of Christ's co-rulers to become BORN AGAIN Christians! Act 2:1-4

The spirit of God would have chosen all the co-rulers among the Jews only while all other nations will have to gain salvation through them {Zechariah 8:23} but most Jews weren't ready {Matthew 22:4-5} in fact they were criticizing the faith in Christ Jesus {Matthew 22:6 compare to Act 5:28, 40} that's why the invitation to become part of Christ's co-rulers was extended to people of other nations! Matthew 22:7-10 compare to John 1:11-12

From the beginning Jerusalem supposed to be the government house of God's Kingdom {Isaiah 2:3} but the Jews has brought a big curse on that city {Matthew 23:37-38} that's why Jesus told his disciples bad bad things that will happen to their city {Matthew 24:1-2} they became devastated because if Jerusalem is destroyed again after Christ has come then where are they going to stay as Christ's co-rulers? That's why Jesus said:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Exercise faith in God; exercise faith also in me. In the house of my Father are many dwelling places. Otherwise, I would have told you, for I am going my way to prepare a place for you. Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you home to myself, so that where I am you also may be." John 14:1-3

So it's not all Christians that needed to become BORN AGAIN rather it's only those that will rule with Christ and it's not by effort or ability because it's God Himself who selects them Jesus have no say in the selection of those going to rule with him {Matthew 20:23} he can only teach them if they act on what he taught God Himself does the selection!

May you have PEACE! smiley
Wrong again. Yes Jesus Christ was addressing Nicodemus but his statement is same for everyone.
Let's read his words.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

No man would enter God's Kingdom without being born again not only Nicodemus but everyone. That's what Jesus Christ said.

Children are to do what in heaven?
In your Bible, which assignment did your own God promise to give children if they go to heaven?
grin
Ask Jesus who declared that they would inherit heaven.

Ọmọ you're the one worrying yourself over what is simple. When Stephen Leth said "babies are God's enemies" he never meant that adults are innocent.
So it's the attributes found in little children we need to emulate as for all of us we are all sinners as in God's enemies {Romans 3:23} that's why we're doing all we can to become His friends through learning from His only begotten Son! Matthew 17:5 compare to John 1:11-12

The problem you people have is that you're thinking babies haven't committed any crime like adults so they can't be enemies of God but then God destroyed babies along with their evil parents in time past, He never spared them so what David said about fetus in it's mother's as God's enemies became clear! Psalms 51:5 smiley
When Jesus Christ said Children would inherit heaven he meant your Stephen Leth is a lair.
And now you guys need more lies to cover his ass

The funny thing about you is that you don't even see how you are making a fool of God's word.
All your religious claims are based on the guesswork of another man.
Everyone can guess but some of us choose to depend on God's words

Jesus used so many illustrations when talking about adults who have humbled themselves to learn. Sheep, Children, Traveler, Maidens and many more.
He emphasized on the attribute we need to emulate in each of these so we are not literal children, sheep, travelers or maidens! wink
We know he used so much illustrations but clearly you don't understand an illustration if You claim God asks you to emulate his enemies

Did God inspire any other race so that they can teach their children God's word? grin

Lot was Abraham's nephew but because he's not part of God's plan the angels reporting to God didn't take note of him not until Jesus led them to investigate the city and Abraham began negotiating for righteous people who could be found in Sodom. When the angels got there Lot's hospitality saved him! Hebrews 13:2
So God only made a covenant with Abraham that's why only his lineage were inspired by God to pass God's decrees to their children!

Do you still have further questions? grin
Is it written that others could not teach their kids or is this guesswork.
