I've heard you jàre!

Oga was Jesus talking about war here or was he telling you and I how to relate with our fellow men?
Now would you ask your wife to turn the other cheek to her rapist so he can have her more? Would you teach her not to resist?

At the end, would you bless and pray for her rapist.

MaxInDHouse:
So a group that's infusing what Jesus taught @ Matthew 5:43-48 in the minds of their members globally isn't practicing what Jesus taught?
Please what do you think any group can do for the Prince of Peace? Isaiah 9:6

Matthew 5:43-48
Verse 46 and 47
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Yet you are the only Church that stops showing love to it's formal members. Clearly you guys completely misunderstood the word.

PrinceOfLagos:
it takes a daft person to identify someone who's daft

No, actually, it takes a smart person to do so

MaxInDHouse:
And i have answered you a million times that when Jesus drove away money changers in the temple he never solicited for mob action against them which could have led to a war.
So if just one person is doing what is wrong the whole society will condemn such act unlike when people support either sides to start killing innocent souls!

Jesus Christ was talking to individuals. He was talking about how we relate in our daily lives.
He says love your enemies so you should not hurt the man raping your wife. He was not talking to the entire nation but to you the individual.
Tell your wife to turn the other side for her rapist and not to resist evil.

39But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

If you do not understand that the commandments in these verses are personal you will continue to misinterpret

So stop misinterpretating the scriptures. The commandment in Matthew 5:43-48 was to individuals and not to a particular nation.
In Matthew 5:43-48 Jesus Christ did not say that you should attack your wife's rapist.

But you don't. You don't even understand the verse. I have asked and I still ask, how peaceful would you be if you find someone raping your wife?

MaxInDHouse:
Well if you call practicing what Jesus taught in the Bible book of Matthew 5:43-48 personal beliefs of a global family of peace loving worshipers then i rest my case Sir!

But you don't practice what Jesus Christ taught in Matthew 5:43-48 rather you practice your personal beliefs.

Jesus Christ taught that the gospel be preached to all the world but you are bringing up your opinion.

Parachoko:
If Iyabo Ojo supported Asiwaju

The same people praising her now would have been abusing her of been a tribalist for supporting Asiwaju.

Person wey wan vote Obi go dey wail bitterly say you wan Vote Tinubu 😂😂

Some of this Pandora Urchins no go use laugh kill me abeg

On Nairaland, there are daily threads telling Yorubas not to vote for an Igbo man. You will never find one thread preaching that Igbo's shouldn't vote for a Yoruba man.

MaxInDHouse:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm what you need is a humble heart but i'll assume you only need clarification.

When God began dealing with the Egyptians and their gods what was the reason why God never killed Pharaoh (just one man) so that everyone in Egypt could become scared to let the Israelites go?

Well the true God wanted the news to reach all the nations where the Israelites are going to inherit so that when they hear that Israelites are coming they will have no option than to evacuate the premises.

What correlation has this got to do with the topic of discussion?

Throughout the earth today people have heard of TERRORIST GROUPS and the havoc they're causing in most lands but then the Russian ruler suddenly began treating a group as EXTREMISTS in his country and the new went throughout the world that this is the most peaceful group ever whose members will not lift up weapons even against their enemies!
WHY? Because they're practicing what Jesus of Nazareth the Prince of Peace commanded them! Matthew 5:43-48
Please my friend if anyone is like Rehab in any country on this planet do you think after hearing such News he or she will not like to know this group? Joshua 2:10-13
Well Jehovah asked His worshipers to destroy all the nations standing in their way not because they're all attacking the Israelites but because they didn't act on the News they heard just as that woman did.
So if anyone in any country has heard of JWs and our activities in other countries but failed to act on what he or she heard such a person is guilty already!

The point isn't to discuss your personal beliefs but to read and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The scriptures state that the gospel will be preached to every creature. As of today, over a quarter of the world's population have never been engaged in any form of Christian preaching.

MaxInDHouse:
My guy Jesus never emphasized on percentage rather he said:

Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man: they were eating, they were drinking, men were marrying, women were being given in marriage until that day when Noah entered into the ark, and the Flood came and destroyed them all. Luke 17:26-27

So if it's just a family of 8 persons in any of those countries as it occurred in the days of Noah from Jesus' viewpoint it is OK!

You mean that as long as 1 person has access to your preaching then the work is done?
Now let's read what Jesus Christ taught.

Mark 16:15-16

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Oga, every creature must have access to the word of God.
Let's read another verse.
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

The gospel will be preached to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.
So until everyone in every country can hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, the work is far from over.

maasoap:
They are doing their best for their people and Nigeria citizens at large. It might work or might not work, posterity will be kind to them. What effort did gov of your own state make?

Oga so they fooled you? How come they did nothing to end the university strike, fuel scarcity, insecurity and even poverty.
These politicians are not thinking of you.

MaxInDHouse:
The last sign:

"And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" Matthew 24:14

It remains just three countries that our brothers haven't started preaching, teaching and reporting back to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.

So apart from these three countries there's no other nations where Jehovah's Witnesses aren't reporting back to our headquarters their activities.

Just last week we were admonished to send whatever we could give to support our brothers and sisters in Turkey (Islamic nation) due to the earthquake killing people there.
Relief materials has been sent immediately to care for our brothers and sisters in Turkey and in surrounding nations our brothers and sisters has been called upon to house JWs who suffered loss in the ongoing earthquakes in Turkey.

So you will not be told when we finally reach the remaining three countries with the message of peace that's what none JWs are missing in the sacred secrets regarding things happening in this end time.

May you have PEACE!

Let's assume the JW are teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now let me ask you a few questions.
What percentage of people in China, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and many other countries where Christianit preaching is not allowed have access to your preaching?

Dtruthspeaker:
Now you have changed post as you usually do when you do not have any thing to say, Enjoy your self deceit.

Oga, what is your problem.

Dtruthspeaker:
The word is after and not never. Even this year the next president can ban Christianity but Nigeria and Nigerians have already heard about Christ, so it is already done. So keep deceiving yourself

Oga please read Revelations 14.6
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

The gospel would be available to everyone before the end comes. So just because North Korea had Christians in 1746 does not mean that people in North Korea have the gospel preached to them today. Same goes for the Muslim world and most of Asia in general.
The gospel will be preached to every:
Nation
Kindred
Tongue
and People.

lecturerdabo:
What part of Umuahia is the Ohia beach located please?

I would like to see that!!

Someone is just making a fool out of you and you fall so easily. Can't you use your google

Goodmarlian:
The current trend in Nigerias southwest is the blame on emefiele,everywhere you go emefiele this emefiele that "omo yeebow lo balu je" all of a sudden emefiele an ika from delta man is now igbo infact i overheard a yoruba man today saying emefiele is jeopardizing his brother ( obi) chance of winning this election with this cashless policy as if emefiele is acting on his own orders.i told the man Emefiele is from delta state he said and so?

Emefiele is from ika delta state a core igbo denying anioma group for that matter, i dont even think emefiele himself accepts to be igbo i once had a friend from ika bearing the same igbo name as me but never likes to identify as igbo person,this people have forgotten that once push comes to sholve Nigerians will remind them of the blood in veins.

All this tribalistic thread that achieve nothing but foolish argument

seeyounow:
you did not go to school. they teach about oyo alafin in schools. and aare anu kankafo is for oyo. not yoruba

So anyone who did not learn about Alafin in school is an illiterate right. You boys should learn to control your frustrations.
We understand there is hunger in the land but if you are ready to go to war over a very simple discussion, I wonder what you would do on election day.

donbrowser:
Peter Obi walked and campaigned in Lagos freely because Tinubu used his thinking faculty to create RRS as governor to curb insecurity. OBI put so many security outfit and measures in place in Anambra that he had to campaign with tight security in Nnewi today

1st Pic - Lagos

2nd Pic - Nnewi

If you want Nigeria to be like Lagos or Anambra, you know who to vote.

After reading this your very important and informative news, Iyabo Ojo was convinced to vote and endorse Obi. You keep up the great work, it's changing many minds.

Dtruthspeaker:
The word is after and not never. Even this year the next president can ban Christianity but Nigeria and Nigerians have already heard about Christ, so it is already done. So keep deceiving yourself

You seen not to get it. The gospel of Jesus Christ has not been preached to at least a quarter of the human population so stop being funny.

Dtruthspeaker:
I know for a fact that Saudis have heard and your self deceit did not let you check to see that North Korea already had access to Christianity since 1794.

only became effectively cut off from the world in 2021 meaning before 2021, they already had access to the Bible and to Christianity

Oga ever Christian in 1774 north Korea is presently dead. For over 70 years, missionary work is not allowed there. Same goes for China. More than 80% of Chinese have never seen a bible.
Oga, did you say that North Korea ended religious freedom in 2021? Wow that is fake news.
Religious freedom ended in both China and North Korea in the 50s.
Even in India with a democracy, More than half the population have never seen a bible.

Talknochip:
It may look cheap.
But, it is coming with a cost for the farmers.

They bought seeds, fertilizers, pesticides etc at very high prices.

This Naira crunch is the reason why they are disposing their goods at a very low price to avoid them from perishing

Every business has its challenges.

StrongAlphMale:
Nigeria is a lawless country.

However in a sane country the CBN governor would have addressed the nation on Feb 10 and not after 4 days. Shows we're not serious in this country

I agree the CBN and indeed the government is messing up but suggesting jail is a long stretch. The truth is that none of us comman men know what is going on. We are just reacting while the big men play their games.

Doremii:
I mean it sounds and feels odd for them to embrace sodomy to the extent of joining them in the church of God. All the Abrahamic religions accept polygamy but homosexuality is a no no. This people are so weird to me right now!

So western nations are not for or against sodomy. They are only saying that it is up to the individual to make the decision. It's called freedom of choice.
For polygamy on the other hand, it's a system that can't be controled or protected by law.
It becomes very easy to trample upon the rights of a woman.
Let me give you a simple example.
A man and a woman get married, if eventually they divorce, the man moves out of the house while the woman continues to take care of the kids in their house.
Now imagine the man had 3 wives in that house, how would the law settle it ?

mmsen:
Many Nigerians don’t feel the need to eat everything that breathes.

You are right, most Nigerians will not eat their fellow human beings.

Dtruthspeaker:
As I told you in your other thread which is still the same as this one, the end is here especially with the fulfillment of the prophecy of the hardness of buying and selling and whoredom.

Then secondly, there isn't any nation which has not heard about Christ Jesus and the Bible and they do not need to convert to prove they have heard.

All the prophecy Said was that they shall hear it did not say hear and convert.

So you deceive yourself to hope that the end is not near whereas, there are less than 3 more prophecies to be fulfilled now.

First not all the prophecies have been fulfilled as clearly pointed.
Secondly even if missionary work is being carried out, it's still at a very small scale in many nations.
Less than 1% of Saudi Arabians have seen a bible. Same goes for North Korea.
So if that is your definition of the gospel being preached to all nations, I can't agree with you.

StrongAlphMale:
In a Sane country, Emefiele would have since been arrested and thrown in jail for Gross misconduct and absolutely stupidity.

How can a CBN governor be giving an official statement 4 days after the proposed deadline? Emefiele is a Mumu man.

In a sane country, you have to break the law before you are arrested.

yrhuhfy113:
pls next time do not open a thread. WHAT DID YOU OPEN THIS THREAD FOR?

you are saying OVER TO YOU.. for who? do you think we have time?
today is valentine, many of us are at work


IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TANGIBLE THAT THE LORD HAS LAID IN YOUR HEART, THEN SAY IT ELSE BE MUTE.

You drop verse.... then you say over to you, yet your topic says something YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DEFEND OR EXPLAIN.


Pls christians should have sense.... this is not a good way to communicate revelation or observation.

GO TO YOUTUBE, IF YOU REALLY ARE LOOKING FOR PROOF OF THE SIGNS OF THE END.

I wish you well but pls don't waste your time here if you would not teach or edify anyone

You claim you don't have time and yet you wrote a textbook. You are clearly not busy. Loool

Today we shall read directly from the bible.
Matthew 24
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Note, the rumours of wars is not yet the end time.

Verse 7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
There is greater production and supply of food that at any time in history. There are less famines that any century in history.
Verse 11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Everyone would agree, this is happening. So let's look out for other signs.

Verse 14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
This is a difficult one. Though one form of Christianity is being preached in basically every country, there are still many countries where most citizens are not exposed to Christianity because of restrictions. Some may be taught in secret but most remain unexposed to Christianity.

Now over to you, which signs do you think have been fulfilled so far.

Dear Nairalanders,
I’m in a dilemma and need your advice
There’s this friend of mine who out of the blue contacted me last year October asking for a favor to come stay at my place a couple of days since she had an interview in Abuja. I allowed in her without hesitation since I thought it was just going to be a few days. Fortunately, she got the job.

When she got the job in October, she asked me to pls allow her stay for two months before getting her place. My people, it’s been five months already and she’s still not making any moves to get her own place.

The problem really is I am currently jobless. She doesn’t contribute anything to the house. I am responsible for our feeding, gas, electricity, everything! And I do not have money. The little money I have is from my generous elder sister who has been my helper since I lost my job. Weekends she sleeps all through while I clean the house. I also do all the cooking. She doesn’t cook.

I am a light sleeper so I get up at any slight movement. This lady gets up between 3 to 4 times every night to use the restroom thus keeping me awake all through the night. This really has a toll on me. During the day she goes to the restroom between 14 to 16 times. She doesn’t contribute to buy foodstuff but she eats 4 times a day

What have I gotten myself into. Please how do I politely ask her to leave without hurting her feelings and savaging the relationship I use to have with her. I am tired, depressed and jobless!

She knows you do not want to hurt her feelings so she is taking advantage of you. Tell her that you sister would no longer be able to fit the bills so it's up to her to provide for the house. You would see her disappear in 2 months

Fireoflife:
Andrew tate has more than 10 million men following him across all the social media platforms, since his incarceration he has had someone posting on his socials. Of recent his tweets have deviated from the norm.

He now advocates that men should be prideful and for men to develop stone hearts.

His posts from now will be explicitly designed to deceive the sons of men into imbibing and showing virtues which God finds horrendous. Believe me. People have died for doing less than he is advocating for in the Bible.

Doubt me. Practice the opposite of his recent preachings for a week. Just a week and Your life will be changed drastically.
Thanks,and may the peace of the lord be with you. Nntr what do you think?

You worshipers of men. All you Tate fanboys with your methods.

siofra:
I wonder why a guy will not marry a girl who has a past like this. Like that's her past and you are her future and that's all that matters, dude😒😒😒

If I was a guy, I would even be happy to have a girl like this, it means she has experience and won't be a bore.

In marriage you need maturity not stupidity.
