Religion / Re: Is God Really Against Taking Alcohol Or Just Against Excess Of It? by Tobechuckwu(m): 11:23am On Mar 28, 2021
tonyson010:


So u all claim born again.....but down deep in Urself......many of u are BITTERED HYPOCRITE. Constantly judging and segregating...... committing atrocities behind.

If I drink once or twice or more in a month but very moderate, then go home and sleep or play with my family before sleeping..... How is it a sin.

If I have to drive a car, I mustn't drink or I will drink

small......it is moderation.
If I have to go preaching, I shouldn't drink.

The whole Bible got summarised by Jesus Christ into 2 sentences. It doesn't mean that other things in the Bible are not good,but understanding the whole whole of it makes a complete meaning.

It's still bcuz u drink alcohol,so u must find scripture to back up Ur claim.

I have been drinking alcohol since I was a child-- palmwine, wine.... and I have never been drunk in my life!

Never been drunk once!

Are you saying Jesus didn't drink alcohol?
Or you never read your Bible reach that side.

You people will just carry additional weight and hang around your neck.

Like I said earlier, people supporting d subject matter are those people drinking alcohol.
They must find a way to support it nd look for scripture to support their stand.
Religion / Re: Is God Really Against Taking Alcohol Or Just Against Excess Of It? by Tobechuckwu(m): 9:45am On Mar 28, 2021
Almost every Christian in support of the subject drink alcohol nd so in order justify it , they hide behind drink responsibly.
If u don't drink, u can't get drunk. There's a spirit behind drinking that people don't know, it's always a little here , a little there, before u know it u've turned to something else.
For a Born again Christian , alcohol is a no go area. If u want to serve God, choose to serve God nd stop serving God with alcohol.
For Timothy, it was a personal message from Paul to him.

Yes it is possible.
The same way it was hard to find a Joseph during his time nd find a Righteous politician like Daniel during his time is d same way it's hard to find, but that doesn't mean there are not.
There are very good Christian doing business righteously nd there are some also in government.

Kobojunkie:
The answer to that is No. Regardless of what you read of in the Old Testament, in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ declared it a sin for any follower of His to occupy a position of power/ leadership over the others, in much the same way as is obtained in the World we live in. undecided

So, you will not find a born again Christian occupying position of leadership or authority over people( other followers of Jesus Christ included) because it is against God to do so. undecided

It's like u have to read Ur Bible all over again!
The Bible says d people rejoice when a Righteous man is in power.
A Christian can be a Nigerian politician , nd can still serve God nd still be righteous. That it's hard to find doesn't mean it can't be

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: 10-Man FC Porto Knock-out Juventus From The Champions League by Tobechuckwu(m): 8:12am On Mar 10, 2021
Juventus problem isn't Ronaldo, but the problem is Ronaldo can't play with a striker in a team. He must outshine d striker either u like it or not.
When Juve started signing free transfer players , I knew back then that there will be problem in d future. Most of their midfielder are either loan or free transfer nd there is one that's an exchange or so, u can't win Champion league with that set of players.
Inter Milan knew what they wanted, nd they payed for such players.

Religion / Re: Must Every Believer Speak In Tongues As An Evidence Of Having The Holy Spirit? by Tobechuckwu(m): 5:53am On Mar 08, 2021
shadeyinka:

Scriptures on the gift of tongues: interestingly, the bible speaks about DIVERSITIES of tongues (Not just the glossa you all speak in churches). Glossa is just ONE out of the several means by which the GIFT of tongues operate.

1Cor 12:7-11:
"But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."


1Cor 12:28-30:
"And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?"



Didn't I give you at least four Scriptures where tongues is NOT associated with being filled with the Holy Spirit?

Act4:8, Act4:31, Act9:17 and Act13:9

When you speak in tongues (glossa)
1. You edify yourself (not the church)
2. Your spirit prays (Not the Holy Spirit)

Do you know just ONE other spiritual gift that is for self edification?



Every Christian can speak in tongues if they are willing to exercise the required Faith
However,
Not every Christian has the GIFT of tongues.


I have tried to explain the several manifestations of this gift in my other writeup and mention to you.


The gift of tongues is most useful in evangelism where language barrier is a factor.

Let me copy and past a section of it here.


Everything u mentioned there are d gift of the holy ghost.
The holy ghost determine who nd what gift to give a believer, it isn't in our capacity to determine which one we need , but the holy ghost gives it himself.
But one can also desire a gift of the holy ghost.

Acts 20 Vs 32 shows us how d word of God also edifice. The word of God builds one up which is for edification.
Religion / Re: Must Every Believer Speak In Tongues As An Evidence Of Having The Holy Spirit? by Tobechuckwu(m): 5:31pm On Mar 07, 2021
shadeyinka:

Correct.
We are sealed with the Holy Spirit as He confers on us the sonship of God!



Here you mix up two different things. Yes, we are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit!

How?

Acts 2:4:
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."

Shows what happened AFTER they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

To be FILLED with the Holy Spirit is being CONTROLLED by the Holy Spirit. This leads to a joy from our hearts to the Lord

Eph 5:18-19:
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"

How does a person get filled with wine? Simple!
By drinking more wine!

How does a person get filled with the Holy Spirit? Simple!
By obeying more of the Holy Spirit!

The effect is Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"
AND
Getting full Controlled by the Holy Spirit.

Here are examples of being filled with the Holy Spirit having nothing to do with tongues

Acts 4:8:
"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them , You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,"

Acts 4:31:
"And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness."

Acts 9:17:
"And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared to you in the way as you came, has sent me, that you might receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost."

Acts 13:9:
"Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him."

In all the above, being filled is different from tongues



It's obvious you have a mixup with what Spiritual gifts are:

Spiritual Gifts are supernatural abilities given by the Holy Spirit at His discretion to Every Child of God for the Edification of the Body of Christ.

There are two kinds of tongues
1. The Acts of Speaking/Praying in tongues
2. The gift of Tongues


Let me make the distinction for you:
1. The Act of Speaking/Praying in tongues

You will agree with me that All Christians are expected to Act in ALL aspects of spiritual gifts not necessarily because the have the gifts. Examples: All Christians are expected to Prophesy, Teach, Evangelize not necessarily because they have been called as prophets or teachers or evangelists. Similarly for the "Tool" gifts like Healing, Faith, Discernment of spirits, Tongues and interpretation ALL the the level of our faith and grace.

The fact that I haved been used to heal doesn't mean I have the gift of healing
The fact that I have faith doesn't mean that I have the gift of faith
The fact that I speak in tongues doesn't mean that I have the gift of tongues


2. The Gift of Tongues:


There are diverse kinds of the Gift of tongues

a. Acts of tongues (glossa) interpreted into the language of the listeners in their ears
b. A known spoken language (Edo) translated into Berom language in the ears of the listeners
c. The speaker (Hausa) speaking spontaneously (an unlearned) (Japanese) language
d. Ability to learn and be proficient in a new real language within a very short time.

There is no spiritual gift that is for personal Edification!

The Acts of Praying in tongues is for personal Edification


Eph 4:11-12:
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"

Can u kindly show me in d Bible where d gift of tongue is mentioned?
Eph4 vs11-12, u talked about is mainly for the work of the ministry which is basically d call of God upon pple. These are pple that are called by God specifically for a purpose in the ministry.

I think I've told how to be filled with the holy spirit already, when u pray in the holy ghost he takes over u nd the holy ghost takes charge that is being filled with the holy ghost. Filled with the holy spirit means for him to have control over u than ur normal sense. He's in charge nd control. When speak in tongues, u give d holy spirit more access over ur life to be incharge. Eph 5 Vs 18-19 added to ways of being filled.

Speaking in tongues is for every Christian , he gave every Christian the holy ghost while will he now allow only few to speak in tongues?

shadeyinka:

Can you give me a scriptural basis for your conclusion?

And can you please explain the difference between
1. Having the Holy Spirit
2. Being Filled with the Holy Spirit
3. Having the gift of Tongues

1. Having d holy spirit : Acts 1 Vs 8 , John 16 Vs 13.
Jesus talked about another comforter before he left. In the book of acts, it talks about recieving power after having d holy spirit. It is only born again Christian that are entitled to having d holy spirit in them. U have to receive him, he doesn't jump on Christian . It's a conscious effort to receive him bcuz He's a person.

2. Being filled with the holy spirit : It is what u have that u can be filled with. This is also a conscious effort on our part to be filled. Jude 1 Vs 21 nd 1 cor 14 Vs 2 & 4
which says he that speak in tongues edifice himself ( builds himself up) already told u how to be filled, but there are other ways which are also essential like speaking to urself in psalms, singing nd making melody in Ur heart to d Lord Eph 5 Vs 18-19. These are all efforts u put in urself nd letting d holy spirit having His way. In acts 20 Vs 32 also tell us d word of God also build up.

3. The gift of tongue : it is given to every believer once u are born again. The Bible says we are sealed with the holy spirit of promise. If u are ignorant of it, u might not speak in tongues bcuz knowledge is d key in d kingdom of God. Bible say my pple perished bcuz they lack knowledge. When d disciples were at d upper room, they were all filled with the holy ghost nd they all spoke in tongues, àcts 2 Vs 1-...

The answer is capital no!

You are mixing up three different things
1. Having the Holy Spirit
2. Being Filled with the Holy Spirit
3. Having the gift of Tongues


I still stand by what I said earlier!
Ur salvation is questionable when u start having issues with should a born again speak in tongues?
Everything starts with being born again, u can't have d holy spirit without salvation.
One of the visible evidence of having d holy spirit is speaking in tongues nd Being filled with the holy spirit is an exercise that u put in place urself. Jude 1 Vs 21 ... Building up urself on Ur most holy faith praying in d holy ghost, if u don't speak in tongues how do u get filled?
The Bible says he that speak in other tongues speak to God for no man understand him except God nd that he speaks mystery.
Being filled with the holy spirit is our responsibility which we exercise mostly by speaking in tongues .
The word of God builds one up , d same way speaking in tongues build one up bcuz it's not a one way thing .
About d having d gift of tongue, it is for every believer nd it's a gift of the holy ghost that is for all born again Christian. It's not for special Christian.

Speaking in tongues is for every born again Christian.
If u are having issues with believing or accepting it , then check ur salvation if u are truly saved.
A natural man can't understand d things of God bcuz they are spirituality decoded.
The tendency that u are not saved is high, check out ur salvation once u start questioning spiritual things

charles009:
Good people of nairaland,
Everything you are about to read is not fiction but certain reality.

At the heat of this DNA wahala, a married Ex called me on 6th of Jan to notify me that her son is mine and not her husbands. I remember vividly a certain Saturday in 2015, when we argued intensely over the paternity of the child during her pregnancy. She insisted it was her boyfriends, make una fear women. She swore she was single. Our calculations showed she was ovulating while we had some encounters. She proceeded to block me on all social media platforms and 2 months later, her friend informed me of her wedding.


The issue here is that I am married with two kids and expecting another, she told me her husband lost his job early 2018 and it has been a very rough patch for her family. she says she wants a divorce.

I asked for the boys pictures and it put instant tears to my eyes. Showed a few friends and the resemblance is striking so they said. The most painful of all, he looks not properly looked after.

I am doing fairly OK now, I wouldn't wanna to see my blood suffer, if you were in my shoes how would you handle this. My wife would not want to hear of another child...

Mature advise please...
Please don't tell Ur wife now since she's expecting a baby bcuz she by mistake have a miscarriage along the process,Ur marriage is as good as gone.
Do d DNA test nd keep it as a secret or tell ur mature pastor nd ur parents , nd explain to them d reason u want to keep it from Ur wife for now.

Trayceey:
I Need Your Opinion On This Issue That's Threatening My Relationship

My fiance wanted to come to the house to see my mum but I told him I won't be around because I'm about heading out to somewhere, so he asked me if my mum would be around, then I said yes and he said he would still go to see her and it doesn't matter if I'm not around.

When I later got home that night, my mum complained that he came empty handed. He didn't bring anything for her and she was the one who offered him her drink.

Although initially, I didn't see anything wrong with that but when my mum expressed her displeasure, I later called him to ask why he came to the house empty handed then I let him know I wasn't happy with him, that it would have been better if he didn't come. He tried arguing with me but I hung up.

Since then, we haven't spoken to each other nor visited each other. Was I wrong?

Personally,I think it's wrong for d guy to come without getting something. Even if it's not d first time,it was d guy's freewill to come, so getting something small nomatter what is necessary, even if it's just fruits.
We are Nigerians nd we have our culture here ,we were trained to do d right thing. Train up a child in d way he should go so as not to depart from it.
Don't ever compare our culture with that of British nd American bcuz they were trained not to respect pple nd they can easily tell their parents Bleep u nd arrest them ,but we weren't trained that way.
Since they are in-laws to be,it is very important to buy something when visiting bcuz whenever u visit ur own parents u will definitely buy something.
Come to think of it,if d lady visits ur own parents without buying a gift along ,how will d guy feels?

Where most of you got it wrong is thinking you just call a name and that's all.

Know today that it's only when you know how to call someone that he will respond and do something everyone can see in your life, the same thing goes with God's Holy Spirit. It only manifest itself in the gathering of those who knows how to call it. That's why none of you guys claiming God's Holy Spirit is a person can't point to any positive effect of Mr Holy Spirit anywhere! smiley

The one and only group of people who knew the Holy Spirit inside out are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, that's why they're the only group producing the FRUIT of what they know VERY WELL! Galatians 5:22-23 compared to Matthew 7:16-18 smiley

The Lord Jesus Christ is in heaven at d right hand of God the father. The Holy Spirit is d third person of the Godhead that's on earth now. What Jesus Christ would have been doing assuming he was on earth is what the Holy Spirit is doing now ,but remember Jesus Christ could only be at one place at a time when He walked the earth,but the Holy Spirit can be at many places at a time now.
Talking about visible work of d Holy Spirit,in Acts 16 Vs 6-7 ,Paul wanted to go nd preached d gospel,but The Holy Spirit stopped them from going .
After d resurrection of Jesus Christ,d Bible says " now the Lord is dat Spirit ñd where d Spirit of d Lord is there is Liberty". Anytime d name of Jesus is call upon,d Holy Spirit goes into action.

Jesus said Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

If Holy Spirit doesn't have a name, then Jesus would have wrong to baptize in THE NAME of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28 Vs 19 was before d death nd resurrection of Jesus Christ. People were baptized in the name of the Father nd of d Son nd of d Holy Spirit
But after d resurrection of Jesus Christ,He was given a name which is above every name in heaven nd on earth nd underneath the earth that at d name of Jesus Christ every knee should bow of things in heaven,on earth nd underneath the earth nd every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
So the name of Jesus is d name above all names now even in heaven. The name of the Father nd of the Son nd of the Holy Spirit is name Jesus Christ now.
If demons attack u ,u can't be calling on Jehovah or God ,but d name of Jesus covers everything.

Jesusjnr, I do believe all these are mere titles. I can call you "The comforter", or personalize it and call you "my comforter", that is not your name, it's just a title or role tied to your person.
The holy spirit is called the wine because His operation can be intoxicating.

The holy spirit is called the spirit of truth because it functions as a spirit that manifest truth wherever it abides.
And so on and so forth.

Since the holy spirit is generally regarded as a person, I want to know his name. Just like I know my Lord's name is Yahshua, Immanuel and co. I know my God's name is Yahweh. I want to know the holy spirit's name.
The name of Jesus is d name of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was a comforter when he walked d earth nd He said he will send us another comforter which was d Holy Spirit. In John 14 Vs 26, the Holy Spirit was sent in the name of Jesus,so that is His name nd that's d name He answers to.
So the name of the Holy Spirit is the name of Jesus.

10th of November 2020 is a day I still felt As if I was dreaming, the unimaginable happened to me at exactly 8:01 pm.

So there I was seated in My lovely cushioned chair about to devour my already made semo with egusi soup when I heard an alert from my phone, my initial thoughts was that all this MTN people don come again with their unserious messages, so I got hold of it then realized it was from my bank sterlingbank.

I grinned a little thinking if it was a credit alert not until when I opened it and found out it was a debit alert, immediately the food became an hindrance to what my eyes just bekoned, I was all teary and sweaty!!!

32,000 naira was just debited from my akannnt..
abi I'm seeing vision ni? I kept asking my self so many rhetorical questions.

1. I checked my wallet immediately to be sure if I didn't lose my ATM card... it was there.

2. I'm always with my phone 24/7.

3. have never used that account with any online platform only ATM withdrawals and pos.

4. how on earth were they able to know the exact money I have in that account.

5 so how on earth was my money transferred to this individual called chrispin ilaye

6. this doesn't even sound like a name o

immediately I lodged a complaint to sterlingbank customer service on twitter, Facebook etc

I was later replied back at exactly 12;06pm

4 hours later, giving the beneficiary account enough time to withdraw my money, they later called asking for my account number which I gave them.

day 2 I went to the bank the following day, met the customer service they told me they already blocked my atm, bla bla gave me all sought bull shit, "we've sent a message bro the recipient bank so we await the reply" nothing else we could do!

note this word o recipient bank!

notice: they didn't reveal to me immediately that the beneficiary account was a sterlingbank account also, I later found out through the vigorous questions I asked the customer care

I was mad, angry, frustrated .

My money was transferred using one-pay as it shows on the debit alert which also corresponds with what I saw at the entrance of their door front, I was just vexed anyhow so it triggered me to Google it then I realized it was a sterlingbank platform for online payment and transfer I literally didn't know this before hand.

if my money was transferred through your medium which I don't use how is that possible?

She said they only need your ATM card?
but it was with me I responded in my wallet allthrough the day!

The pin at the front of your ATM card is all they need ! ...my atm card was with me oooooooo in side my wallet not possible at all I barked, I was losing it already so just started giving me attitude by attending to other customers, I flared up.

ok so do I have any chance of getting my money back ? I asked

we can't tell she said, the look of things the account as withdrawn the 32,000

but we've sent a message to the bank.

So I became more suspicious that led to questions I asked the customer care representative before revealing it to me that it was a sterlingbank account but the branch was in bayelsa, while I'm in Lagos so they can only notify the account owner about the said fund to be returned and wait till the account is funded, so they'll removed it .

I just don't know why the banking sector is doing nothing about cases like this clearly they are aiding and abetting fraudsters.
or even banks sef na scam I murmured dey fit don borrow my 32k like that com return am I thought.


days passed...

the thoughts of how my money was transferred without me giving out any otp, my ATM card, my phone, just scares me like who do I trust again in this country, how the hell is this possible without my details.

they kept saying they used my ATM card....I told them my ATM card was with me not possible.

then they switched to my phone, I told them I don't give anyone my phone like my phone is always with my 24/7.

days passed, I checked back

the money as been withdrawn from the account ooo don't let me lie to you one of the best customer care representative that attended to me nicely a guy said, infact the money left in that account is 143naira!

me: definitely he knew what he did now and he won't fund the account!

I kept on chatting with their customer care service on social media the same bullshit replies.

one month later still nothing
today makes it one month and eleven days.

my assertion to them today is that since we are both sterlingbank customers can't they take this to the police or effce to settle it ?

another customer care said they must protect there customers since this my case is an alleged case I won mad!...like are you kidding me ni??

protect fraudster ok ooo! I murmured

all we can do is notify the branch in bayelsa, call the beneficiary about the transaction to refund the money and wait. he said again

over a month now haba ...you people should fear God !!

if it was a million naira will you say this ni

if I was an influential person will you guys do this, so many people lost there money in this circumstance yet nothing is done.


I wanna know if I have any chance of getting my money refunded by sterlingbank plc


note the debit alert date says 11/11/2020
I asked why? they said the transfer sometimes bring the following day date bla bla bla.

I need this to get to the front page for greater insight !! gracias
The same thing happened to me years back,but it was GTbank, 14500 was debited from my account in fact I was at d ATM about to collect cash when I got d alert. I went back to d bank nd explained, all they were saying was I did online transaction,but I took my ground. I traveled d next day,went to another branch. When I started saying I will report nd close my account with them, I told them I wanted to see their boss when my being tough was too much, their worker gave me one number that I should call nd lodged d complain . Immediately I called nd lodged d complain nd told them my next step of action,my money was reversed immediately.
U need to be tough on them , customer care representative cannot solve,ask for their boss. Stand ur ground, see all those customer care representative have boss nd they know who to call to solve it immediately,but they won't. Maybe they wanna know if you are serious about it.

Properties / Re: Why Don't Builders Use Steel In Nigeria? by Tobechuckwu(m): 6:10am On Dec 21, 2020
Aconomist:
We all know how common building collapse is in Nigeria, and this occurs because of our bad habit of building multi-storey buildings with concrete. In other parts of the world they are using steel, which is a far superior building material because it is lighter (doesn't put as much strain on the foundation) cheaper than Dangote cement, and requires less maintenance.

While steel needs to be imported, healthy demand would create a market incentive for domestic production. We need to start using creativity to solve our problem in Africa.
Point of correction, in Nigeria we use reinforced concrete instead of the concrete u said.
Reinforced concrete is what we all in column which pple call pillars.
Steel is too expensive for it to be used for building in Nigeria.
U have to consider d environment u are before thinking of what to use, nd steel is good for detachable houses which are not common over here.
Considering our environment, reinforced concrete is still d best option nd it's not d reason why building collapse in Nigeria. There are so many factors to consider for that

Religion / Re: The Difference Between Abel's And Cain's Sacrifice by Tobechuckwu(m): 1:09pm On Oct 11, 2020
Moblux:


You don't give gift to God. You give sacrifice
Not everything u give to God is a sacrifice.
There is a free will offering which is not a sacrifice,Ur Sunday offering isn't a sacrifice nd so many others.
But a sacrifice is a specified offering which must cost u something special. If it doesn't cost u then it's not a sacrifice.
A gift is something that's free will, something that's giving out of Ur own will, nobody enforce it on u.
So u see now that u can also give gift to God.

I repeat, it was the condition of his heart. What was alluded to in Hebrews lend credence to this,"...by faith Abel offered a better sacrifice ". What makes it better is not spilling of blood. When David poured water that was fetch him by his men, was that not a sacrifice?

As a farmer that he was, would you have expected him to give what does not belong to him? If Abel were to be Cain, his sacrifice would still be acceptable cos of his heart.
It's like u still don't understand d difference between a sacrifice nd a gift.
Cain knew wat he offered won't be accepted in the first place nd he knew wat he needed to offer as a sacrifice.
Even if he was a farmer,trade by barter has been since ages he could have exchanged some of his products for a worthy sacrifice.
A sacrifice must cost u something for it to be accepted in the first place.
The questions God asked him showed Cain knew wat he offered was wrong nd him getting angry is also a sign that he knew wat he needed to offer.
