The Bible is wrong about 6,000 creation myth. You can say that we shouldn't take the passage literally but thats what the Bible implies, that earth and everything in it cannot be older than 6000years. That's wrong

A lot of young ladies go about with their hair uncovered and body parts exposed due to scanty dressing.

If it were true they can be possessed by that, then we would have been seeing lots of them displaying the same sort of behavior as the lady in the op.

The concept of spirit wife and spirit husband is gotten from traditional African religion. It is a false belief which our primitive forbears used in the past as explanation for certain strange phenomenon they could not explain.

The whites dont have this sort of experience (spirit husband or wife)
simply because it was never part of anything that they believed in the past or even now.

The human mind is extremely powerful. It is capable of creating effect from whatever it is made to accept as truth. Most people are ignorant of this fact ,hence , they are easily taking advantage of.

The sad thing is that some ignorant people posing as men of God, in this part of the world, are still promoting the false idea of spirit husband or wife and conducting fake deliverance sessions which does not work.

This fake deliverance has left most of these desperate ladies
seeking for husbands disconsolate and depressed because after everything they were made to go through during such sessions and the money taken away from them in the form of sowing dangerous seed to God, nothing has changed.

And another unfortunate thing, is that after a time, due to the fact that they have completely accepted this lie, some of them start acting irrationally because they are now certain that they are possessed by a demon which is simply not true.



The lady in the op, I believe, is a victim of this. She may have been exposed to this idea either in the church or from people around her and the result is what is described.


Pastors who use this to scam their members , begin by preaching on the pulpit that any lady who is finding it difficult to get married has a spirit husband . Some of them even go to the extent of conducting fake deliverance session to cast out imaginary spirit husband right in front of their congregation and sadly enough, sometimes kids or very young persons of impressionable age are also part of those watching.

Then the members , after watching the fake deliverance nonsense, go home beleiving that there is something like spirit husband or spirit wife or that people can easily be possessed by demons.

And later , when some of the ladies or young persons who have been indoctrinated by the fake display find it difficult to get married or are having other strange experiences they can't understand and explain , which may be normal, they wrongly think it is caused by spirit husband or a demon. The immediate reaction is to run with fear in their hearts back to the same person who has indoctrinated them with this false idea in order to get delivered .

But after deliverance ,nothing changes because it is a scam.There's no invisible man stopping them from getting married.

The concept of spirit husband is not in the Bible or part of Christianity and so why are Christians made to believe in something that is not true?
Christians are not the only ones in this part
to believe this. Everyone else seems to and it is for this reason most find it difficult to shake themselves of it.

The solution is to know that there's nothing like spirit husband or wife preventing you from getting married and also to avoid persons who believe in it or places where such nonsense is believed or preached, if not, one can be dragged into it unconsciously and you start having strange experiences which would then make you think it is real.

A House of Representatives member, Ibrahim Obanikoro, representing Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, Lagos State, has called on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to close all domiciliary accounts for the next 12 months.

Ibrahim B Obanikoro wrote:

"I am not the CBN Governor but at this moment, I'm of the opinion that CBN should mandate that all dorm accounts be closed for the next 12 months. Let's see the effect on the Naira. After all you can't go to any of the Western world and open a foreign currency account. Your opinion."

Your likeness or dislike for GEJ has nothing to do with my question.

If the person before you spent every kobo and was borrowing to pay salaries when you took over, what will you do after taking over?

Will you borrow to pay millions of workers around Nigeria or tell them to waka because the previous admin spent all the money or just magically make the money from the sky?


It's a simple question.

The question I asked you was simple and elementary, but because you ipobs and BiafraNISTANs are not smart or intelligent, you couldn't answer the elementary question.

Let me help you, when the people before you emptied the treasury, left a crippled economy and totally bankrupt that they had to borrow hundreds of billions to pay workers salaries until handover day to the next president, it means the next president is starting from ZERO and must also borrow to make sure that workers are paid and the country keeps functioning.

Basically, it means the borrowing decision was never yours, it was made by the people before you since they left nothing for you to continue with.

This is the simple answer you are too lazy and incompetent to come up with.

Who still believes Sahara reporters with all these fabricated, obvious lies and their useless anonymous source.

Investigative journalism with no pictorial proof or video evidence, but toying with the emotions of people who would believe anything as long as it is against the government.

Logical Fallacies Employed in Trinitarian Theology By Biblical Unitarian

Preface
"Logic," from the Greek word logos, is the science of correct reasoning, and provides tools for analyzing the form and content of arguments. Logic addresses the relationship of premises (or evidence) to conclusions, and helps us determine whether our reasoning is straight or crooked. That is, does our conclusion necessarily follow from the premises, or have we "jumped" to conclusions. The disciplines of logical reasoning are fast becoming a thing of the past, an artifact of a classical education. Feelings, emotions and rhetoric (persuasive speech) are most often the basis of what passes for "reasoning" today. But, if we are ever to "correctly handle the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15), we are going to have to learn to think correctly.

One of the best ways to understand and apply the basics of logic is by becoming familiar with logical fallacies, that is, examples of faulty reasoning. What follows are the main types of fallacious reasoning that we have encountered in the course of researching our book, One God & One Lord. Though the systems of classifying fallacies vary from author to author, we find that there is general agreement among teachers of logic that fallacies come in two general forms: formal and informal. The "formal" fallacies revolve around the syllogism form, which involves a major premise, a minor premise and a conclusion. "Formally" fallacious logic involves some transgression of the proper form of syllogistic reasoning. "Informal" fallacies are those employed in everyday speech, and for the most part involve different ways of slanting or avoiding evidence en route to a conclusion.

Accent
The fallacy of accent is employed whenever an emphasis is placed on a written or spoken communication in a way that materially alters its original or intended meaning. To interpret any piece of literature logically, one must be sensitive to the context and original meaning intended by the author and not alter that meaning by misplaced emphasis. This misplaced emphasis can occur quite subtly. Without changing a word, a piece of written material can be made to say something entirely different from what was intended by the author. A common form of this fallacy is the altering of punctuation, which is particularly significant for biblical research because the original text of Scripture contained no punctuation marks.
For instance, the addition of a comma can dramatically alter the simple sentence, "God made man," (as in God created man) to "God, made man" (as in God became man). What a big difference!

Likewise, "Woman without her man would be lost" is a seemingly straightforward sentence, but watch how the meaning can be dramatically changed by the addition of a period and a comma: "Woman. Without her, man would be lost."

Luke 23:43 (NASB) says, "And he said to him, 'Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in Paradise,'" indicating that Jesus will be with the malefactor in Paradise later that same day. But if the comma is moved to the other side of "today," an entirely different emphasis results: "Truly I say to you today, you shall (in the future) be with me in Paradise." This is, in fact the correct rendering.

"Proof texting" is a common way that the fallacy of accent is employed. By isolating verses that appear to support a particular theological or doctrinal position, but by weighting them too heavily, contradictions are created with other verses on the same subject. For instance, with the exception of a few "proof texts," the idea that "Jesus is God" is not consistent with the New Testament when considered as a whole. Not a Christian theologian, but a professor of logic, made the following astute statement regarding what is required for the logical interpretation of the Bible:
Selecting texts to give a one-sided presentation of the truth is a widespread method of propagating erroneous views. Out of the Bible can be drawn phrases or verses that justify everything under the sun, including contradictories. Read in context, the Bible may be a liberal document, but it is not that liberal. What we need to know is if the Bible as a whole [emphasis ours] supports a given position.[1]

It is a well-established hermeneutical principle among biblical interpreters that the difficult verse or passage must be interpreted in light of the clear and simple parallel verses or passages. The difficult or unusual must not be elevated and established as an altogether higher and better view than the rest of Scripture, as has been done with the Gospel of John, for example. Because it apparently presents a Jesus most compatible with Trinitarian orthodoxy, the Gospel of John is the one that is translated and distributed to potential converts more than any other. But has this been done honestly and logically, or by employing the fallacy of accent?
