Threedoorsdown:Off the top of my head these are some of the benefits of being in a cult : 1. Gives you a sense of belonging and purpose 2. Protection from other criminals and sometimes the law 3. "Connections" both in the university and outside world, which can be a fast track to huge financial success 4. Social benefits, you're always surrounded by friends who are willing to die for you, literally and figuratively. However none of these reasons are enough to account for the lives lost, robberies, and mental illness that come along with it. I STRONGLY CONDEMN CULTISM IN ALL ITS RAMIFICATIONS 5 Likes 1 Share |

In Edo State since 1999 Adams Oshiomole is hands down the best. But overall I think the best has been Ambrose Alli (Back when the state was still joined to Delta as Bendel State. 1 Like 1 Share |

jossymekoos:That's my point. And according to the Bible, sin is a transgression of the law. It therefore means that where there's no law against something, there's also no sin as well. |

God1000:It's the same story bro. The Bible does not condemn polygamy. Polygamy is the teaching of man. If it was that important, Jesus would have taught about it. A lot of the disciples taught what they thought was right, not what Jesus taught them. At a point (Acts 10) God had to personally come down from heaven and correct Peter about the issue of unclean meat and refusing to preach to the gentiles. What makes polygamy a sin? That a man pays the bride price of 2 or 3 women according to tradition, before taking her home with the consent of her parents, why should there be any law against that? Is that not what we were practising before the white man came? Are you saying all our ancestors who practised polygamy will go to hell? But that David, Abraham, Jacob etc will all be in heaven? What kind of logic is that? If you're going to convince me that polygamy is a sin, you'll have to show me where it was expressly condemned. 144 Likes 16 Shares |

God1000:We didn't attend the same school, I have my own school that I attended, and you have yours. So if I say I have my own school I attended, does that mean I was the only one in the school? If I tell my friends I can't stay here, I'm going back to my own house, does that mean I'm the only one who lives in the house? Come to think of it, "my own house" doesn't even mean I own the house, it just implies that I have a legal right to use the house. So 40 people can call a house their own house as long as they're legal occupants of the house. That's the lexical ambiguity I'm talking about. Jesus never condemned polygamy, most of those in the bible who seemed to condemn it were the overzealous converts who were not even with jesus and tended to apply their personal beliefs in most of their teachings. Some of the greatest icons in the Bible were polygamists, such as Abraham, Solomon, David etc And they're all already in heaven while you are here talking about unimportant things like polygamy instead of focusing on the actual teachings of christ like repentance, forgiveness, love etc 202 Likes 23 Shares |

God1000:There is no where in the whole of 1 Corinthians 7 that it is mentioned one man is to have one wife. I think the issue is that you are either deliberately or ignorantly misinterpreting the lexical ambiguity in 1 Corinthians 7:2 [KJV] which states that:

So the "great" chief awolowo couldn't have the presence of mind and decency to cover up these children before the photoshoot? We tend to blame the foreigners for slavery but sometimes when I think of it, the actions of our own leaders then (and even now) deserves as much, if not more, blame and criticism. |

Once you pay and move into the house forget about the outstanding electricity bill, they'll never pay it. The best way to deal with them is by paying them back in their own coin. Involve the Nepa officials, police and lawyer. So everything will be on record. Then clear the bills and enjoy your light. If there's no refund before you leave accumulate your own debt in any way you deem fit. It will be difficult for the landlady to throw you out if you've involved the officials ab initio. |
