You do not know that God (the God the pastor says he serve) has a “mouthpiece”? The Christian God has a very detailed and exhaustive letter he wrote us that covers this type of issue.

You might want to point out any of his writings you feel is contradictory and I will show you that it’s perfectly in-line with the whole of bible deem. When you do not understand somethings in the Bible, it may be that your foundational knowledge is faulty. You may be measuring some of Paul’s teachings on things you think are biblical but that are actually wrong themselves 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Botragelad:It might be arrogance on your part to tell me I do not know you.. By Gods grace I am very sound and versed in Gods words. As you can see that almost in all my responses I put up bible verses. I am not in anyway shackled down by the tradition of men or even traditions of our churches today. I will address your points: (1) I notice with accomplishment that you are somehow starting to agree with me. I never told you that and I quote you, *appearance is the decisive or primary factor in determining one’s faithfulness to God* , I only told you as you have shrewdly admitted that it matters. [b] you are wrong to say Moses was address by those people that found him after he escaped because of his exploits in Egypt. Those people didn’t know his story as at then, but they took him as an Egyptian because of the way he came across to them. (I will leave the Bible verses to show your errors out). Exodus 2:15-19; 15 Then Pharʹaoh heard about it, and he attempted to kill Moses; but Moses ran away from Pharʹaoh and went to dwell in the land of Midʹi·an, and he sat down by a well. 16 Now the priest of Midʹi·an had seven daughters, and these came to draw water and to fill the troughs to water their father’s flock. 17 But as usual, the shepherds came and drove them away. At this Moses got up and helped the women and watered their flock. 18 When they came home to their father Reuʹel, he exclaimed: “How is it that you have come home so quickly today?” 19 They replied: “A certain Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds, and he even drew water for us and watered the flock.” I will also point out your error in the incident about the King of Judah. He erred by allying himself to the sinful king of Israel, however he was spotted out for assassination because of the way he was dressed. 1Kings 22:30-32; The king of Israel now said to Je·hoshʹa·phat: *“I will disguise myself and will go into the battle, but you should put on your royal attire.”* So the king of Israel disguised himself and entered the battle. Now the king of Syria had ordered his chariot commanders: “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.” (2) This examples emphasizes the power of appearance. They confirm the old wise sayings that you are addressed the way you are dressed. (3) and (4) You are right here and it’s the same thing I have been telling you. The New Testament fulfilled the Old Testament and together they are the complete revelation and guidance of God for us. (4)You can’t live and conduct yourself in a way that glorifies God if your life and appearance do not glorify God. Your appearance does matter. Christianity and the way of pleasing God involve the whole of the person; your physical and spiritual person must conform to the way that distinguishes you as a set apart person. You balance and moderate your appearance. You be careful like I said in my penultimate response about the impression people get not in a negative way or a way you get intimidated (I used caged), but knowing fully well that you are owned by God, hence your life must tell about God. I advice that if you are somebody of authority, maybe a pastor with influence on people, you should get the necessary humility to really see the Bible and get the meaning of things, not to suit your sentiments but to really point to God. My point again (and you have in a way agreed) , is that appearance though not being the whole requirement in pleasing God, does MATTER. |

Botragelad:I was eating when I typed my last response. Still, I understand you, you are the one that seems not to really understand me. I point out a lesson from the incident that surrounded Moses escape. I do not blame him for how he was before then or do I accuse you of blaming him. The lesson (please this is my point) is that appearance matters. Moses was ADDRESSED based on how he was DRESSED (regardless if he dressed that way intentionally or not. Regardless if the situation was forced on him or not). Thankfully, Moses left the way of life of the Egyptian, though a very hard decision. He left and adapted to the ways of the chosen of God. A kind of conversion. He like many people that do not know how to dress or behave was born into a culture and a lifestyle, but in a bid to please God, he left the culture and lifestyle. This is my point. In matters of dressing and like in our other behaviors, the Bible’s take as can be deduced from a lot of examples and incidents in the Bible is that we should dress in a way that we do not appear to conform to the world. You might be scratching your head and wonder what other incidents are there in the Bible that one can deduce bible stand from? There was this king of Judah that was nearly killed because soldiers were looking for the king of Israel in battle to kill him. But then, the king of Israel was wise and he had disguised himself while the allied king of Judah foolishly went into the thick of battle with a regalia that pointed him out as a king. Now like the case of Moses, I do not in anyway fault that king really, still, a lesson can be deduced from the incident and the lesson is that the way you appear or the way society relate your appearance with matters. Second, it’s obvious that you are knowledgeable. I still should emphasize it to you that while the Old Testament laws were given to Israelites in a specific context, God in his wisdom fashioned out the laws in a way that they mostly still do apply now. Besides, Christians are the inheritor of the promise to the then Israelites. If Christians as the modern Israel of God are the inheritor of the promise, they are then consequently the inheritor of the laws. I am flexible and I make necessary adjustments when I see were I make mistakes. I want you to have the same attitude. You are right that the witnesses are Israel forebears and champions of faith that had lived exemplary lifestyle, still you can’t leave by faith if you do not consciously strife to show loyalty to God and knowledge and obedience to his word by walking and living in a way that glorifies God even among the people. 1 Peter 2:11,12 Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents to keep abstaining from fleshly desires, which wage war against you. Maintain your conduct fine among the nations. 1 Timothy 3:7 Moreover, he should also have a fine testimony from outsiders so that he does not fall into reproach and a snare of the Devil. The two following bible portions I will leave should show you that you must be careful even about peoples opinion, not in a negative way or in a way that will cage you, but the care should be that it will always make you conscious of living a life that glorifies God and evangelize to people. If they can’t hear the word from you let them at least see the word (of God) in your attitude and modest appearance. Acts 22:12 “Then a man named An·a·niʹas, a devout man according to the Law, well-reported-on by all the Jews living there. [note the well reported]. 1 Thessalonians 4:11, 12 Make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we instructed you, so that you may walk decently in the eyes of people outside and not need anything. [note ‘walk decently in the eyes of people OUTSIDE]. |

Botragelad:I disagree with you on many of your takes. You do not really understand fully my Bible (sorry) or basis for my argument I will show you. Moses is not to be blamed for how or where he is born. The lesson we can get at that incident with the people that encountered him (which I actually stressed) is that they identify him with some people because of the way he appeared. And that is actually my point. It’s totally false when you say Old Testament commands do not bear on us today. Granted many of them have served their purpose especially those that have to do with the temple and those that in a way foreshadowed the redemption work of Christ like sacrificing of animals. All those and the temple obligations have come to fulfillment with Christ. Still other commandment and teachings on morals, love of God and how we should live a peculiar life is still very valid. The only scriptures Jesus and the early Christians actually had and that they lived by and that guide their teachings and inspiration is the Old Testament. And that portion in the Bible that talked about the witnesses around us ACTUALLY point out that “cloud of witnesses “ for us so we can be careful and live our lives in a way it will show as a sacrifice acceptable to God. Sacrifices you must agree with me entails doing away with some things just to please God. Christianity unlike what people today what to paint it as is not a life of doing what’s just good for yourself, it’s a life of consideration to others. That’s why the Bible said in Romans 14:21; 21 It is best not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything over which your brother stumbles. People always watch people. You can’t give glory to God when you appear in a way that make people associate you with Yahoo yahoo people or some other set of people that society link with vices. That’s Christian life. |

Botragelad:Ok thanks. The Bible do not give direction on every issues we have in the world today but the Bible also teaches us by stories, inferences, parables and other subtle ways. We have a precedent in Egypt many thousands of years ago that can teach us how God wants us to fashion ourselves. Moses escaped from pharaoh and when he was in the desert of Midea, the people that first saw him took him for an Egyptian. What made them come to this conclusion you may wonder? It’s certainly because of the way he appeared (and talked). God was careful in the many commandments he gave the Israelites. He discouraged tattoos, some form of beards and cloth fashions because he really wanted them to look distinct from the ungodly people around them. So any dressing that makes you look more like Marlian than a Matthew may be unpleasant to God. You see how police profile one by dressing? God really want us to identify ourselves even by our dressing and fashion. This also depends on the prevailing culture, sentiments and local society. The point is made clear when we consider this Bible verse , Romans 12:1 So, then, because we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also throw off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us,a and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. We have to be careful really how others view us. And we have to consider what is acceptable in the society we are in and measure it against the Bible. And stop being molded by this system of things.

😂 😂 😂 So on the bus today, someone brought out a real iPhone 14 pro max and was offering to sell it to my friend for 75k last. He said his mother was in the hospital and they needed 75k for the surgery which was why he needed the exact amount. Since he mentioned 75k, My friend started pricing it for 50k. To buy was hungrying him. I collected it and checked. Everything is working fine. The screen of the phone had the seller's picture as Screen saver. I told my friend that the phone could be stolen. He said even though it is, he would flash it and change the casing or resell it immediately. That is how my friend paid o. Through transfer. Despite my warning. I was just holding the phone and looking at it in shock. At a point I wished it was me that bought it. But kai. 50k for iPhone? No na. No amount of desperation would make me sell for 50k. We alighted from the bus and waved at the man who said he was rushing to the hospital to begin the process of the surgery with the money. and thought to share. My friend and I sat down under a tree to look at the phone he had bought again. While #pressing the phone, it turned off. The screen could not turn on again. We felt it was battery so we decided to find a place to charge it. Suddenly, the screen turned on again. We started seeing the screen showing. "Searching..." The search icon stayed for like 2 minutes rotating like planet Earth. Then it switched to. "Tracking... Tracking... Tracking..." I was the one holding the phone at that moment. I quickly gave my friend his phone to hold first. He didn't collect it again. He said I should hold it. I didn't understand anymore. So I shouted at him. "Bros collect your phone na." "Shey you dey hold am. Just dey hold am de go na. Make e track finish." "Track who?" "The thing e dey track?""Which thing? Oga hold your phone." "Calm down na. We no know wetin e the track. Shey I dey here na. Hold am. Maybe e dey track network?" "Hiaaann... Let it continue tracking network in your hand abeg. Hold your phone biko." I shoved the phone in his pocket and continued began to walk home. Suddenly from behind my friend shouted and ran past me. I joined him to run. While running I was asking him. "Kelechi? Why are you running?" Kelechi shouted back. "The phone show location found." "Which location?""I no know o. Maybe na our location." I was still running right with Kelechi when I saw that he was running with the phone in his hand. I turned back silently and started running left. Left was a bush. I didn't mind. I kept following it and running for my life. Only for me to turn back and see Kelechi following me behind with the phone still in his hand.

My God! You know I have been listening to many of MOHBAD’s songs for the past few days, the boy is was a talent. He has a rich voice and lyrics with deep messages. He conveyed his message effortlessly through very harmonious renditions. I noticed he didn’t talk about women or sensual things much yet his songs are impactful. I suspect from information about him that I have analyzed that he suffered from depression that bordered psychosis. This condition was worsened by his possible exposure to DRUGS🚭. In his private communications and some public utterances, he was many at times agitated and felt like DEATH⚰️ was closing in on him. That being so, I may know who is complicit in his death☠️. TINUBU👹 has been building a culture and society that poisons the body and minds of youth through drugs🚬. The factory for these poisons are everywhere in Lagos from FESTAC and Mushin through to the Islands of Lagos. Many of you continue to support Tinubu🧛🏿♂️ and this his culture.

Politics / The North Unfairly Dictates Nigeria Destiny by thinkmoney(m): 8:08am On Sep 07, 2023 |
To God, I endeavor in my life both online and offline to be a realist, to limit emotions and properly and in an informed way analyze things. I have been telling even supporters of Obi that ludicrously claim nobody voted for Tinubu that Tinubu actually got votes, howbeit with a caveat; Its the North that made him President! -If Nigeria voters demographics were to be divided into North and South, Obi won roundly Tinubu in the south. -Young people that are well read and informed supports Obi far more than they support Tinubu. If elections were only limited to people that can read and write, and consequently get correct information about candidates, Obi would most likely trump Tinubu. MY TAKE ON THIS IS THAT THE NORTH AS ALWAYS BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REGION THAT FOR SOME REASONS MANAGE TO PROVIDE US WITH QUESTIONABLE LEADERS. IN FACT, NIGERIA AS IT IS TODAY WITH ITS MANY CHALLENGES IS THE DIRECT PRODUCT OF THE NORTH BECAUSE THEY HAVE PROVIDED MORE THAN 80PERCENT OF THE PRESIDENT AND HEAD OF STATES WE HAVE HAD. IRONICALLY IT IS ACTUALLY THE NORTH THAT SHOULD HAVE A LESSER INFLUENCE ON THE CHOICE OF LEADERS WHEN THE RATE OF IGNORANCE AND ILLITERACY THERE IS CONSIDERED. *THE NORTH ALSO FRUSTRATED AND PREVENTED THE SMART, VERY PROGRESSIVE AND LIBERAL AWOLOWO FROM BECOMING THE PRESIDENT. AGAIN I POSTULATE THAT DEMOCRACY IS THE TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE INFORMED OR NOT. 1 Like
