And also relocate 15 states in Nigeria to Mars!

Peter should know he cannot fool the brilliant and enlightened class.

If talk was cheap, I can still make better and feasible campaigns promises than the gibberish he is spewing.

He wants to repaint the moon and same time connect Nigeria to Pluto! I don’t blame him a bit, that’s what his illiterate support base want to hear.

You and I both know that Obi's supporters are the most educated and enlightened in the country. In fact the other candidates and hoping to cash in on an illiterate population.

They have made the world a better place with weapons everywhere so that Russians and Ukrainians are brotherly settling their disparity with weapons. Matthew 5:43-48; 26:52
Ọmọ the world is now a better place jàre! Isaiah 5:20

I am sure you don't know this, despite the war going on, Russia and Ukraine still have a higher life expectancy than in the days of Christ. It's your fellow men that made this happen. Jesus Christ was right when he told his followers, greater things shall ye do than these. We see the works of the true followers bearing fruit and making the world a better place for you.

It's funny that you keep quoting an actor of all people. Clearly most knowledgeable people don't hold you view so I can imagine your join that one actor is on your side.

Oga the world is far better than your grand father met it. It is many times better than Jesus met it. So clearly, the people you call evil are the ones making progress and change while you do nothing but blame and criticize.

MaxInDHouse:
You always turn to this each time you're trying to cover up your disobedient heart!

So Russians and Ukrainians are killing one another over who is raping or who should be in control of territories?

Oga please answer the question. Forget Russia and Ukraine. You claim others are devils so forget them. What would you do to your wife's rapist. Option 1. Give him the latest copy of Awake.
Option 2. Invite him to the kingdom hall.
Option 3. Attackkkkkk

MaxInDHouse:
Among JWs there is LOVE JOY and PEACE that's why we will never ever raise weapons against anyone talkless raising weapons against our own brothers due to politics and racism.
This is what all your so called religions have failed to achieve yet you can't see it because you're a hypocrite hiding behind a finger!


Stay on one side and stop jumping from pillar to post. If they're all worshiping the same God then how come they can't form one body so that it's the same leaders like the first century Christian Congregation that will be overseeing them all? Act 2:42
But if you say they're not worshiping the same God then to who do members of different sects pray when they want to make supplications?

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES believe that our own God totally differs from their God that's why we can do everything with them except sacred activities because our God won't accept it!

If you see someone raping your wife what would you do. If you would attack the person then you are a vile hypocrite.
I need you to tell me that JW members don't react even when their wives are being raped.
Or maybe you would preach to your wife's rapist about the 144,000 in heaven

MaxInDHouse:
Common ground with who?
How do i find common ground when weapons are involved?
Ọmọ you don't know what common ground means, people who can't resolve to destroy all weapons and sit down to reason on how to do things without using weapons to kill one another haven't found a common ground o!

You are all over the place. You criticize others for not being united but when the unite, you still criticize then. With you, there is no satisfying.
Thanks to the Christian the world has become safer and better than ever. Thanks to the effort and labour of other Christians, JW can now preach their doctrine in the civilized world without fear of their lives.
Christians have made your lives better and given your religion a chance to grow but you don't see all that. How has your religion impacted the world for good.
Jesus said, by their fruits we shall know them. The Christians you hate gave the world freedom of worship, freedom of speech, they ended slavery. They made your life very comfortable. They gave you a better world. The only thing you guys have to offer is criticism of people who have and are doing better then you.
The inferior religion is always going after the superior group.

MaxInDHouse:
Among Catholics has their own doctrines.
Adventists has theirs, Latter days have theirs, Presbyterian has theirs yet when members of these different sects meet they pray together.

Please since you've confirmed that they're not worshiping the same God, to which of the Gods are they praying?

please do you want to point to my very words where I confirmed that they're not worshiping the same God?
I feel you are trying to be manipulative but I hope I am mistaking. Please just point out my words where I spoke about people worshiping the same or different God's

achorladey:
Na style to manipulate your words into advancing his agenda of better performing performance group.

Despite the tendency to always want to look different they share the same characteristics like every other Christian denomination out there.

We know him well na

MaxInDHouse:
Please are you saying they're worshiping the same God yet contradicting themselves over doctrines and teachings?

What are you saying, I am saying that you are equally as disunited as the groups you preach unity to.

MaxInDHouse:

What are you talking about? You say I confirmed that they are not worshiping the same God? How? When?
I only confirmed that they unlike you don't allow there disagreement to tear them apart.

MaxInDHouse:
If you say your father something and another person claim his own father disagree with what your father said does it make sense if the both of you now decides to petition one of the fathers knowing fully well that he will not be happy with the child of another person who takes his words as nonsense?

If truthfully Catholics and Methodists disagree on what God said should members of this different groups meet as one for prayer? Proverbs 28:9; Jeremiah 11:14; 14:11; John 17:8-9

Yes, even people who disagree should unite for common good.
Again, someone who refuses to even find any common ground should not be preaching unity to those who are better than him

MaxInDHouse:
Worshipers of the true God are never divided in their line of thought regarding sacred service to our God. So whenever you find sects having contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines yet praying together then know that they're not praying to the God of the Bible but to Satan the god of confusion!

You need to understand that the point you are making is hypocritical.
When a Catholic does not agree with a Methodist, it's bad but when a JW does not agree with the same Methodist, it's a good thing. How does that even make sense?

MaxInDHouse:

Yes but everyone claim to be worshipers of the true God.
Again, no sect has conflicting doctrines.
The Catholics don't, the Adventist don't, the Latter days don't. The presbyterian don't so you are not making any point here.
You keep talking of confusion yet you don't agree with others. How are you not a part of this confusion.

MaxInDHouse:
Exactly what i expect you to say!

But do you notice that members of these rival sects do pray together?
It's like worshipers of different idols like ògún, ṣàngó, ọbàtálá, ọ̀ṣẹ̀rẹ̀màgbò, èṣù, ọ̀ṣun, ọya and many others whose doctrines contradicts but when it comes to prayers they all pray together yet each God has its do and donts that conflicts the other.

JWs will never ever pray with anyone unless you're one of us, if you're not OK with the terms and conditions set by our God we can't pray with you {John 17:8-9} because our God will get angry at such stupid yoking! 2 Corinthians 6:14 compare to Jeremiah 14:11 & Proverbs 28:9

So you are boasting in your disunity yet questioning or condemning others who are even more united than you. You are even more hypocritic than I thought. At least others are better.

MaxInDHouse:
Because we believe they're not worshiping our God. If anyone is worshiping our God he or she must be one of us.
That's what made the Jews in the first century criticized Jesus he said only his group will gain everlasting life that all Jews had been praying for! John 14:6
So now answer me are all these numerous sects practicing what Jesus taught when they're not united as ONE body?

You are not different from everyone criticizing each other. Those criticizing you also believe you are not worshiping God. So you all keep criticizing and accusing others of doing
exactly what you are doing. It's so funny. The hypocrisy.
Many churches believe that only their group with gain eternal life so you all are the same.

I love your last question but you forget that you are one of the numerous sect that are not united as one so clearly, you are not practicing what Jesus taught.

MaxInDHouse:
If you can't present a single group that has a better teaching yielding positivity then you're lying to your own soul.
The critics in Jesus' days never agreed that Jesus has the truth yet he was able to present a group that's practicing what he taught as the Christ when other groups are contradicting themselves yet claiming they're following what is found in the Mosaic laws.
So if you're saying you know 100 different sects doing what Jesus taught why are they not united as one group? so that the world can see what Jesus taught by observing one group not countless sects with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines yet you're saying they are practicing what one single man taught!

Only JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORGANIZATION is the Christian group because Jesus said that no matter how well organized and orderly they're doing things critics like you will never agree with them instead you will be criticizing them whereas you can't present any group that is performing better than them!

Oga, you call me a critic but I have seen you and your boys criticize others and call people names including me here on Nairaland so stop the hypocrisy.

You also ask a funny question about why other sects are not united as one group. But also, why are you and also not united with Methodist or other groups. You are part of the division. So stop blaming others because the various Christian sects including yours would never unite.

MaxInDHouse:
No single human can adequately practice what Christ taught it's as a group that Jesus' teachings could be effective so stop deceiving yourself. I'm not saying i singularly practice what Jesus taught but i discovered a group of people practicing it as a BODY that's why i joined them, before then i had my own religion which after cross examination i found out that even though i love doing what pleases God the imperfection in me will hinder me so i need a body of worshipers in whose midst i will continue to see how imperfect humans like me are fighting really hard to put on the new personality.

So i'm not a Christian if i don't have a body of worshipers with whom i should join to practice what Jesus commissioned! Matthew 28:19-20

But a group with false teaches can't be the right group.

[quote author=MaxInDHouse post=120290517]It's liars that always claim their witnesses are far away!

Only JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORGANIZATION is practicing what Jesus taught that's why i joined them and i've given you practical applications of what Jesus laid down so that everyone can IDENTIFY his group even when thousands of different sects are claiming they believe in Jesus.
So present just one and back it up with Bible references let everyone learn from what Jesus established before people in Antioch began calling them "CHRISTIANS" Act 11:26
We all know that the man called Jesus Christ is just one person and everything he said about how to recognize his disciples are found written in the Bible. So stop beating around the bush Mr and don't waste my precious time!

[/quote
I understand you claim to practice what Christ taught but the more I discuss with you, the more I see that you are so far from the teachings of Christ.
But it's ok, not everyone must follow Christ.

Looky:
Netflix have been trying to push their subltle nudity agenda into the Nigerian psyche through the movie industry.A time will come when everyone will see a naked actress in a movie as a normal thing.
Look at Anikulapo and the recent one starring Nancy Isime.Actresses can go to any length to get a lead role in a movie which includes going naked on set.What is happening to our high moral standard I Nigeria.
Is Netflix gradually eroding our culture.

You never had a high moral standard. Stop blaming Netflix.

My lady neighbour brought a guy last year November to live with her, introduce him to me as her boyfriend, we were even looking for a way to get this guy a job, but anytime this lady is on night shift the guy brings in another lady, this has becomes often, and it irritate me.

Pls how do I tell the lady what the guy he introduce to me as her boyfriend is doing.

Keep getting irritated by other people's business. Worse part is that you are a man.

MaxInDHouse:
Name one NOT two and let's see the practical application of what the Bible say in their midst nah

I've given you a group JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES and all what Jesus said we should watch out for in their gathering!

This is where you are wrong again. You can't choose your owe terms or beliefs to judge other churches. We do not create your own definition of what Jesus Christ said we should watch out for.
So if you are ready, I would give you a list of churches that adhere more to the bible than you guys
Many of you churches are basically the same, you pull out 2 or 3 things from the bible, give it your interpretation and claim that's all God wants from us.

yashau:
In term of ability to acquired and stockpiling of sophisticated weapons into our military arsenal President Buhari should be rated 8/10😒😒

In terms of the ability to bomb innocent Nigerian in the name of terrorist from the sky, Buhari is a 10/10

MaxInDHouse:
Can you present a better performing group having the doctrine of God?

Because Jesus didn't tell us that the truth will make each person form his or her own opinion on doctrines rather people worshiping God will agree on terms and conditions of worship {John 17:22} and there will be love among them {John 13:34-35} they will never support using weapons to settle issues {Matthew 26:52} they will be known globally for the works Jesus commissioned {Matthew 7:16-18} while others will be confused about it they won't agree on how to carry out the work {Luke 11:23} so throughout the earth everyone will see that this is the one and only group of people practicing what Jesus taught! Matthew 5:14-16

Do you know any group of people practicing what you know as doctrine of God and please give scriptural backing not just quoting scriptures without practical applications!

I can present 100 better performing groups. A good church is a church that is led by the revelations of God and not guesswork.
Jesus did not tell us that some guys in America are able to form a group and create their own teachings.
The same way your American guys created your church is the same way thousands of churches are created.
So stop the crap about better performing church. We all know 5he churches making a difference out there and making the world a better place for all.

Jogs1900:
What you fail to understand because of your pettiness is that slums are normal in cities.. Most people that live in slums are those that can't afford the expensive housing in the city yet want to live in the city... Can you Mention any major city in Nigeria or in Europe without a slum?

We are saying the same thing, we need bigger slums to meet up with Europe and America.
Slums are great measure of a city's development.

MaxInDHouse:
True!
So if you and i aren't meant to agree on terms and conditions of worship simply because the Bible never specifically say certain things then there's no need arguing leave those who like to agree on terms and conditions of worship alone.

Christianity isn't about perfection but reasons why we must agree on the same line of thought therefore if you want to bank on seeing everything written in white and black then stay on your lane don't disturb others who believe in oneness in thought! 1Corinthians 1:10

I am not against imperfect people, I am only against dubious people teaching the doctrines of men and claiming it is the word of God.
Again, there are no lanes in Nairaland, it's food for all.

Jogs1900:
And so what? There are slums in USA too fyi.

Abi na. This is a wonderful thing. We even need more slims in Lagos so we can become more like America. Correct guy.

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted is not true we talk to different kinds of people but once we discover that our discussions with a particular person always lead to endless and fruitless arguments we cut such a person off {1Timothy 6:4; Titus 3:9} our purpose of chatting with others is to come to agreement not just to argue for fun! 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3
Heart to heart talks on sacred matters should build up a body (congregation) of worshipers not always leading to disarray where each person just form his or her own personal opinion without coming to an agreement! 1Corinthians 14:33

Loooool. I understand you but then you need to learn that this is a public forum ok. Except the Muslim section the rest of Nairaland is open to everyone This is not a place for private discussion.

Maynman:
Understand what you posted

What’s almah?
Where was mary called prophetess.


And also the full verse is : Isaiah 7:14b. 1QIsa1/Great Isaiah Scroll from Qumran]
almah
[right to left: "...ha'almah harah veyoledet ben veqara shmo immanuel"]

Modern Jewish commentators point out that the verb harah ("be with child"wink is in the perfect tense and should be rendered "she has conceived" or "is with child" — not "will conceive."

Secondly, the verb qara't ("call"wink is also perfect (lit. "she has called"wink. Thus, they say, Isaiah's message concerns his wife and her son, not some future messianic figure, such as Yeshua of Nazareth.”

Oga go and sleep. Even your link testifies of Jesus Christ

Maynman:
You are the one confused.
read to understand.
The link also said.
“ Modern Jewish commentators point out that the verb harah ("be with child" is in the perfect tense and should be rendered "she has conceived" or "is with child" — not "will conceive."

Secondly, the verb qara't ("call" is also perfect (lit. "she has called". Thus, they say, Isaiah's message concerns his wife and her son, not some future messianic figure, such as Yeshua of Nazareth.”

Are you going to explain the part I posted or are you just wasting my precious time?

Maynman:
What does almah mean?
When was mary referred to as propehetess?

Oga this was your own link, stop acting confused.

Maynman:
I don’t have to be pro, it just a language.

Oga when would you explain the link you sent? I am pasting it again below.
Like Isaiah's wife, Yeshua's mother was a prophetess as well, in the sense that she too declared God's message. Luke 1:46-55 contains Miryam's soaring words of praise for God's loyalty to his covenant promises to Abraham and his children, to her fellow Jews.

Since Miryam was a prophetess (like Isaiah's wife), her Son was also a prophetic sign to Israel.

Neither she nor anyone else in the NT ever called him Immanu El ("with us is God". His angel-given name was Yeshua ("the LORD saves" — a symbolic name describing what his presence on earth entailed for God's people: "he will save his people from their sins" (Matt 1:21). (See Shem Yeshua Mashiach: Hebrew Roots of "Jesus Christ".)

We need to remember the obvious point about Miryam's story (Matthew 1, Luke 1).

She was literally an Almah — an unmarried young woman — within whom God created, by his Spirit, the male embryo who grew to become her baby named Yeshua. She was an unmarried Hebrew virgin who became pregnant, not by her husband-to-be, Joseph.

When the angel told Miryam she would give birth to "the Son of the Most High" and son of "his father David" (Luke 1:32), her response proves she knew what the announcement meant: "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" (v. 34).

In other words, she fulfilled both the prophetic Hebrew word that an almah would bear a son, as well as the Greek Bible prophecy about a boy who would be birthed by a parthenos.

Representatively, Yeshua's mother would be Virgin Israel, the faithful, unsullied bride of God, who would bear a son for her Lord. (See the links between Israel and Miryam: Betulat Yisrael: Virgin Mother of Messiah.)
