The moment Osibanjo became acting president, He quickly fix his fellow RCCG pastor in power

You're probably too lazy to read to see his resume.
Did he qualify to preside over budget by quoting scriptures?

Waste of life.Cultism doesn't pay.

hakimmiyya:
You hardly understand anything because you are very myopic. Please I would advise that you stop jumping from pillar to post. You are fond of jumping from one topic to another without you finishing one before you go to another.
Please the tread is not about Paul but about you Christian trying to force your beliefs on another person that abandoned your religion by wanting to make him believe that he is on the wrong path. You are derailing the tread please.

Imagine how you have changed the topic to Paul. I have only called your attention to the fact that using Paul as example is a misfits and yet you failed to discern what I mean.Quite unfortunate. I never said Paul never believed in the Abrahamic faith but tried to make you understand that before he claimed to accept Christ he was not a believer in the Abrahamic faith. The fact that he was a Jew does not make him a believer then. We had Jews back then who did not believe in Abrahamic faith then too.
Before he met Christ he was neither a believer in the Jewish faith nor a Christian.So get that straight into your brain.

You can believe whatever you want to. But the truth is that,it doesn't make you right.
That is why the Qur'an says

"Unto you your beliefs and unto me my beliefs "

And also"there is no compulsion in matters of beliefs"

So stop muddling up issues here.

I have given you so many bible quotes earlier to prove to you that salvation is in keeping God commandments.Which Jesus himself confirms. Which you have not been able to refute. But rather all you do is to divert the discussion.

I would rather follow what Jesus said than following you. If your bible says anything in contrary to this. It shows it is contradicting itself and is full of errors.

You accuse me of jumping from pillar to post yet you keep denying what is obvious.
You called Paul an unbeliever and judged him yet you choose to circle round that when you were the one talking about not judging.
You say Paul didn't believe in the Abrahamic faith when it's obvious you know nothing about the man except what you all have been told in the mosque.Paul was a jew who kept the Jewish laws and they were founded on the Abrahamic faith.Get your facts right.
Give me proof from scriptures that Paul was a man who didn't accept the Abrahamic faith.

hakimmiyya:
Please understand my explanation. I have not judge apostle Paul. I only called your attention to the fact that using Paul as example by you is out of place because he was not a believer in the Abrahamic faith back then before he accepted Christianity.

Let me refer you back to your quote

quoted,Acts 26:5,'.."I lived as a pharisee,the strictest sect of our religion',did you notice Apostle Paul said I lived and not I live? The reason is because he was a jew and had religion.With the coming of Christ,he no longer had religion but a relationship and a fatherhood with God.That was why he said,I 'lived' and not I still live"

So that is what I meant. I don't judge people but I try to bring facts to the forefront.
You citing Paul as example of someone having religion as a non believer back then was not proper because I was talking about Abrahamic faith and not idolatry religion. when I was trying to make you understand that God gave a religion to man in our earlier discussion,while you were de-emphasizing religion.

You are always eager to jump into conclusion about someone because of the mindset you have.

Anyway my advice to you is that you should try as much as possible to make more research about other people's beliefs.So that you can see issues from a different perspectives.
By doing that you will be very close to discovering the facts and also it will help you to stop being myopic.

Personal relationship with God and salvation depends on nothing but observing or keep the commandment of God.

Just then, a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” 17“Why do you ask Me about what is good? Jesus replied, “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” 18“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,…

Leviticus 18:5
'So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the LORD.

Nehemiah 9:29
And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, By which if a man observes them he shall live. And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.

Psalm 119:68
You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes.

Ezekiel 20:21
"But the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, nor were they careful to observe My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; they profaned My sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.

Luke 10:28
"You have answered correctly," Jesus said. "Do this and you will live."

And he said to him, Why call you me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.

Leviticus 18:5 You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if …

Ezekiel 20:11,12 And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which …

Alright,you won't admit you judged Paul but you did.It's obvious you have a bias about him and I know a lot of muslims do.It's what they teach in the mosques anyway.

You need to study the bible again and find out about the man Saul who became Paul.He HAD religion!He was a jew and like he said in that scripture,he practiced the strictest of religion.Who else knew about the Abrahamic faith more than a Jew?You see your bias about Paul wouldn't make you consider that.
I already told you Jesus brought something greater than religion.He brought salvation and the power to become heirs of God.No prophet could bring that and even Muhammed could not.It's this purpose Paul understood and believed that made him say he once had religion but now has eternal life- a relationship and a fellowship with God.
Jesus is the seed of Abraham so how is the message of Paul not Abrahamic faith?

Doc, Everything must not boil down to kpekus/ cheating matters. It could be decisions taken without due consultation.

Then that goes both ways.Women too make decisions without consulting their husbands.You must have read about women who build houses without their husband's knowledge.
Your comment made it look like there is something about men that just makes them unworthy.

Hmmmm ,wat an irony of life... n here I am wondering y my hubby also stopped kissing me 4abt 2years now. In fact d last time we kissed was when the pastor said u can now kiss d bride which was in April 2014

Why have you left it to linger?You ought to have done something about this all this while.

lovinam:
Omg! So sorry you have to face such an embarrassing situation. I don't know wha to say but I will try and put myself in your position. Knowing what I know today, don't kill yourself over a man. Don't loose your beauty sleep over a man. Even the faithful ones will hurt you one day. I will say, stay protected anytime he wants to ttouch you. Demand for a HIV test in a government hospital. If seeing him sleep hurts you then go sleep in another room. No use getting sick over it. Also you need to try forgiveness, that alone will give you s special peace of mind

How will the faithful ones hurt you?

hakimmiyya:
You are just confusing yourself the more because of your inability to move out of the box so that you can be able to think outside the box.
From what you have said it is obvious that you are claiming that other prophets of God in the bible that came before Jesus did not know God except Jesus.
If we are talking about religion ,we are talking about a creed that God himself gave to those prophets.Which is not in any way different from what was given to Jesus himself. They were all brothers in beliefs and practices.
Which is worship the one true God with all your heart and might but don't associate partner with him.
That is the reason Jesus said he came to the world to adhere to the commandment given to Moses and not to abolish them because he knew that the mission is the same for every time and age.

You talking about other religions in the world is out of place because what I had explained to you earlier was the true religion (Abrahimic faith)given to the world by God through his prophets from the time of Adam to the last of them(Muhammad p.b.o.h)
They all had a relationship with God except you are trying to play holier than thou here.
In fact God worked wonders through them he certified them to be righteous and also held them in high esteem.Therefore using Apostle Paul as example should not arise at all because he was an unbeliever and not a follower of Abrahamic faith(religion).

Talking about father or no father. The use of father in the bible is used in a metaphorical sense just for you to understand the relationship between God and his righteous and obedient servant.
Fatherhood must not be taken in the real senses but figuratively.

Islam doesn't go against the word father (Abba) in Arabic and Hebrew for God,except one tries to reduce or perceive God in the human capacity to beget. If not the concept of fatherhood is not new to Muslims. Therefore,we don't need to over emphasizes it.
So.my brother the word Religion used is just for identification of believe and faith and worship in the Abrahamic way and nothing special or a big deal but just a misinterpretation by you and your likes.ok

Anyway I think you should just allow other people be and stop judging by what you believe. You have not made heaven yet.
That is why you are told not judge anybody.

Isn't it such a contradiction that you are speaking so much about not judging and yet you say that about Apostle Paul?You judged him and yet you are the apostle of not judging?Can you see how hypocritical you are?
That tells so much why you don't understand my explanations because it's obvious you can quote bible passages but the understanding is missing.

No wonder you say I'm confused.

hakimmiyya:
It's when you people don't know what to say that you resort to claim that God is not interested in religion because you people are confused.

Let me educate you here. The meaning of religion is a belief system in terms of faith in the supernatural being(God) entitled to obedience and worship which one professes inwardly and outwardly.

Even your bible identified with religion. The truth is that,it's only when you lack the proper understanding of a particular thing you begin to exhibit illusion due to ignorance.

You are expected to believe in something first with all your heart and might (meaning of religion)before you begin to have a personal relationship with whatever you believe in passionately.

Bible Verse
James 1:27 says, "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." Visiting people is an outward thing. A stain is something someone can see. To be unstained means people don't see "the world's" stains on you.

The same word is also used in Acts 26:5, "I lived as a Pharisee, the strictest sect of our religion."

He used God standard too to discover the truth and not his personal standard.

Therefore ,judge him not with your standard.

Please try and make a enough research and stop whipping sentiments.

The bible says: Seek ye the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Let me be the one to teach you here.
Your definition of religion is true but your understanding of God and the bible Scriptures you quoted is limited.
The people who had the religion of God were the Jews because God chose them and they were the ones who worshipped God and could obey Him because He made Himself known to them and they knew Him.The rest of the world had religions but did not know God.
When it pleased God,He decided that Jesus should come into the world so that by Jesus,the rest of the world may know Him.
See this bible verse:
'All things are delivered unto me of my father: and no man knoweth the Son except the Father;neither knoweth any man the Father,save the Son and him to whom the Son will reveal Him'(Matthew 11:27)
Many believe in God(the existence of God) but do not know Him.Jesus is the One Who reveals God(The God Who sent Jesus that is).The purpose of the coming of Jesus is for the forgiveness of sins and the establishment of a relationship with God- establishing a fatherhood with God(Like a son to a father and a father to his son).

I have a question for you,do muslims have a fatherhood with God?Of course the answer is no.As Christians,we have a fatherhood and that is not called religion.In the scripture you quoted,Acts 26:5,'...I lived as a pharisee,the strictest sect of our religion',did you notice Apostle Paul said I lived and not I live? The reason is because he was a jew and had religion.With the coming of Christ,he no longer had religion but a relationship and a fatherhood with God.That was why he said,I 'lived' and not I still live.
Everyone today who believes in God by Jesus Christ has a fellowship/relationship with God and not a religion.

Many have different religions on the earth,the religions they have is not towards the God Who sent Jesus.He has no need for religion today!

How did you know he he didn't use God standards? This is what they term as ethnocentric attitude which you have just displayed.

The same way you have judge by your own standards he might as well use his own standards to judge you too.

Allah(God) said

(Truly, the religion with Allah(GOD)is Islam.) Allah states that there is no religion accepted with Him from any person, except Islam.

(And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him) ﴿3:85﴾.

In this Ayah ﴿3:19﴾, Allah (GOD)said, asserting that the only religion accepted with Him is Islam,

(Truly, the religion with Allah(GOD) is Islam.)

Allah (GOD) says:

(Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except out of rivalry, after knowledge had come to them.) meaning, some of them wronged others. Therefore, they differed over the truth, out of envy, hatred and enmity for each other. This hatred made some of them defy those whom they hated even if they were correct. Allah then said,

Allah (God) says:

(And whoever disbelieves in the message of Allah (God) meaning, whoever rejects what Allah sent down in His Book,

(then surely, Allah (God) is Swift in reckoning.) Allah (God) will punish him for his rejection, reckon him for his denial, and torment him for defying (rejecting) his scriptures.

I didn't use my standard,I used the Scriptures' standard which is God's word.

The religion with Allah is Islam.The God Who sent Jesus isn't interested in religion.There's no religion that has the power to save.That's why when muslims die,they still need prayers in the grave.

God sent Jesus with something more powerful than religion which is eternal life that brings a man into a relationship and a fellowship with God.He receives forgiveness of sin and a life that makes him meet and walk in God's standards.

Now let me ask you. Is it right for you to use your own standards to judge him because he doesn't hold the same believe with you?

Since your brother claimed that he his better informed. Rather ,i expected you to hold the view that he is in a better position to know the truth because I believed he must have made a enough research before arriving at the decision he made .Unlike you that is viewing issue from one perspective.
If you don't have taste of cookies baked by two different makers.How do you know which taste better by tasting one and leaving out the other?

Is it right to use God's standards to judge him is the more appropriate statement.

@second bolded,what makes it a better informed position?The word better is subjectively used here I hope you know?You will agree with me that joining an occult does not have good consequences at the end.Do you know there are many after doing their research and becoming 'better' informed have chosen to join a cult?
Can you see that saying 'better' doesn't necessarily mean so!

EagleEyez505:
Many thanks! She does has a fair deal of the qualities I consider important. Though there are still others we are on the opposite side of the divide. I am more "old school" and believe in modesty while she is more of the classy type, two ear-rings/ear sometime, fairly heavy make-up etc.

Marriage is about compromise.You both can always meet at the middle when it comes to issues.
I'm for modesty too.I will always have issues with a lady who wants to show off all the time.
Maybe you should date and see how it goes.

Marry her na.
Do you fancy her?Does she have qualities you desire in a woman?

But Nairaland Islamophobes said 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity every year?

Where did they get their figures from?Feel good statistics.
Some muslims convert to Christianity and some Christians also leave the faith to become muslims yearly.

It's not about figures with God,it's all about those who choose the Truth.Remember Noah and a few people were saved during the flood that destroyed the earth.God is not interested in 'big numbers'.

Diabetics can take watermelon.The key is moderate consumption.

I expected you to go through your quote but pride will not allow you discover the mistake you made in your quote. Please again compare the quote below with yours may be you will discover your blunder.

John: 3 v 18

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

. Your quote

'He that believeth on Him(Jesus) is not condemned:but he that believeth not is condemned already,because he hath believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.'(John 3:18)

Thanks for pointing it out.I thought you were saying the verse contradicted the other verse you quoted.
I've modified.

You will have to keep talking to him especially at other times of the day outside the bedroom.Be open about what you want and what satisfies you.
He has to learn the art of lovemaking.Most men that are inexperienced think it's all about penetration.
Make him read books that teach romance and sex and also watch movies.
The timing of sex coud be a factor too.If you have sex at night after a hard day's job,chances are that he wants to quickly get over it and sleep off.How about trying on a saturday morning for example.

hakimmiyya:
Please I would advise you check your quote again. It is contradicting itself.

No contradiction.The problem is a lack of understanding.

hakimmiyya:
You have confirmed what we believe as Muslims about the God almighty and Jesus(peace be upon him).

Nah you don't.You are under the illusion you do.Listen to Jesus;
'...it is my Father that honoureth me;of whom ye say,that he is your God:yet ye have not known him;but I know him'(John 8:54-55)
Again,He said,'it is written in the prophets,And they shall be all taught of God.Every man therefore that hath heard,and hath learned of the Father,cometh unto me. (John 6:45)

The question is do you believe the gospel?Everyone who believes THE GOD Who sent jesus believes the gospel and follows Jesus.

By the way,Jesus doesn't need peace to be upon Him,He is peace.

Are you judging him already?

Matthew 7:1-3King James Version (KJV)

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Do you know what it means to judge?
'He that believeth on Him(jesus) is not condemned:but he that believeth not is condemned already,because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.'(John 3:18)

The Scriptures already defined the paths.No man is judging.

hakimmiyya:
Since he is more informed about religion than you ,then I will advise you trust and respect his decision .
I guess you are already contemplating doing the same because he was better informed than you.

This is what happens to a sincere seeker of truth when they discover the truth.They become overwhelmed by it and the next thing they do is to submit to the will of the one true GOD.

) And there are, certainly, among the People of the book(Christians and Jews) those who believe in Allah, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to Allah: they will not sell the Signs of Allah for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and Allah is swift in account.

Say: “Whether you believe in it or not, it is true that those who were given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration.” [17:107

'And this is life eternal,that may know You,the Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom Thou has sent(John 17:3).'
