Everything in all that writ are mere unfounded allegations. For all you know, the lady pointing accusing fingers may be complicit and just trying to divert attention from herself.

Reno fighting dirty in his characteristic way. Aisha and her daughter could have chosen to support their husband and father to the moon and back since they are for the most part shielded from the negative effects of bad governance, but they chose the noble option and sided with the truth at personal expense and true Nigerians praying and working for good governance are pleased. But the likes of Omokri who are still bewailing loss of access to the corridors of power will Aisha and her daughter appear foolish for their acts of nationalism. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Religion / The Greatness Of Our God-(midweek Meditation) by traeces(m): 8:29am On Jan 10, 2018 |
This morning as I meditated upon the greatness of our God, my heart wondered to a sentence in Genesis 1:16, “…He made the stars also” and I wondered how the bible can summarize something so unfathomably profound and so infinitely vast into one small sentence of 5 letters. Let’s gain perspective, our earth which is the only known habitable planet is home to over 7 billion people scattered across 195 countries. The earth surface is about 70% water and life form is sustained upon the earth by energy from the sun. The sun is a star and it is in fact an average sized star. That is to say there are plenty other stars that are many times bigger than the sun. This average sized star which is our sun however is so big it can contain 1,300,000 earths. That is to say the sun is a whooping 1,300,000 times bigger than the earth. A galaxy is a collection of star systems and there are more than 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Now underline the word observable universe as science can only observe objects that are a certain distance from the earth because in the 13.8 billion years since the universe came into being, light from farther objects have not had time to reach us. Our galaxy which is named the Milky Way galaxy contains 300 billion stars. Astronomers put current estimates of the total star population at roughly 70 billion trillion (7 x 10^22). That is 1 trillion stars for every single person living upon the earth were the stars to be shared among the 7 billion people on earth. Yet the word of God sums all these up in that one sentence; “…He made the stars also” This calls my heart to worship in the humble realization that; 1. God is not my mate in spite of the infinity of how much he cares for me. 2. God is not infinite, I think he is infinity-You can’t describe him, you can’t explain him, you can’t understand him and you definitely can’t measure him. 3. If he made the stars also, there is truly nothing he cannot do 4. If the story of all the stars can be told in five words, then John was truly right when he asserted under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost that, "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."( John 21:25) NIV 5. The Psalmist actually had a point when he declared by inspiration of the Holy Ghost that “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Ps 8:3-4) KJV |

Hotshawarma: You just misquoted me. I did not say God does not value life. |

Hotshawarma: My dear, this animal life of being born, eating, sleeping, marrying, giving birth to children and dying is a cycle that God does not value the same way you do. He let his son Jesus die remember? Paul said, "for to me, to die is GAIN". If you are so afraid of dying, it is either because you have not made peace with your maker or you have no idea what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Like |

Partnerbiz3: You have made very important points that I cannot ignore. I will respond in line with two scriptures; Psalm 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. ROM 8:19-24 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? In the light of these scriptures, note: 1) God who created both the heavens and the earth gave the earth to man who in turn gave it to the devil when he fell in the garden 2) The devil thereafter became an important player in what happens in the earth through the instrumentality of man. 3)Even creation was not spared the pains of the bondage of decay. 4) There is the hope that both we and creation will be liberated when the sons of God are revealed 5) Even now, God gives his own victories through all the tribulations and difficulties we face. 2 Likes |
Religion / Re: Parable Of The Rich Man And Lazarus: What Was The Sin Of The Rich Man? by traeces(m): 12:02pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
Apina: According to your submission, "The sin of the rich man wasn't that he didn't love Lazarus but was that "He Was INSENSITIVE to the plight of the beggar ". " but I am saying the sin of that rich man and indeed every unbeliever is the sin of unbelief. To back up my position, I quoted John 3:18 which says, "He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.]" Amp |

Apina:Your assertion is great but I am convinced you missed an important point as your assertion is not rooted enough in scripture. Condemnation which lands people in hell is first and foremost due to the sin of unbelief. John 3:18 What you do or do not do is immaterial as long as faith in God is not in place. You can give your body to be burnt for the poor if you want but unless you first believe that God is and a rewarder of those who diligently seek him, you cannot please God. This thought is evident in verses 28-30 of the Luke scripture OP posted. God calls everyone to put their faith in Christ Jesus and come to him in repentance. 1 Like |

irynterri: Look at verse 28-30 and it will be clear that; 1) The rich man was not remotely confused as per what his sin was. 2) He knew he did not repent and knew also that if his brothers do not repent, they will join him in hell. 3) God requirement for all who will escape that fate is one and the same: Faith in the lord Jesus. 2 Likes |

hopefulLandlord: You should probably either review Pascal's wager or my view as there is nothing similar in the 2. I am not guessing the reality of God neither am I partially certain that Jesus is the way to God. My theology is not just so that I don't lose out in eternity should I hold that there is no God and get to eternity only to find that there actually is God. I am FULLY PERSUADED that God is and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I am pretty sure that you are not half as intellectually dexterous or scientifically literate as Pascal was but he knew enough to know that science does not and cannot answer the God question so he posed his wager which should actually makes sense. On a final note, God is a spirit and because science only measures what can be seen, heard or sensed physically, science CANNOT measure, prove or disprove the existence of God. You can only believe or disbelieve! Note however that not even God seeks to rob you of your right to choose what you want and note also that whatever choice you make in this matter is an important determinant of the eternal destiny of your soul. The staunchest atheist won't spend 1 day in hell before realizing the utter foolishness of his acclaimed intellectual dexterity. My only prayer for you is that you discover your foolishness long before you face your maker in eternity in Jesus name, amen |

Mariinee: My dear mariinee, the simple fact that the prophet did not know what was going to become of the eternal destiny of his spirit or of his followers is one of the many reasons why he cannot command my following. Secondly, the death and resurrection of Jesus was not meant to take away man's freedom to choose. It was meant to make it possible for man to return to God his home following the fall which is why the bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever BELIEVES in him will not perish but have everlasting life" Jn 3:16 What that means is, if in spite of his death, one chooses not to believe, heavens will not fall but he or she misses out on the eternal life God made possible through Jesus and perishes in hell which has always been the intent of Satan. |

hopefulLandlord:I find it very funny when I encounter free thinkers who bandy the assertion that faith in God amounts to intellectual laziness. Where has your intellectual dexterity led you? Think about it, even in the physical world, Newtonian mechanic laws are very valid for as long as speeds are not approaching the speeds of light and masses not approaching subatomic orders. Newton's erstwhile valid laws do not hold in those realms! How then can you hope to explain God who is spirit and require those who worship him to worship in truth and in spirit with your eyes, hands, ears, mouth? For the sake of the eternal destiny of your spirit, I advice you to repent before God and beg him to give you faith to believe that he is and he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him (Heb 11:6) Faith that he exists comes before evidence of hia existence |

hopefulLandlord: The bible was written on 3 different continents by 40+ others under divine inspiration of the Holy Ghost over a period of over 1500 years. That puts the bible in a class all its own as it is a book of books. It is one of histories most reliable reference material so if you think I should not use the bible to explain the bible, what will you suggest? archeology, science or metaphysics? |

walepackage: Not really, if we realise how that God's thoughts and ways are indescribably higher than our thoughts ways (Isaiah 55:9), we will be content with what he has revealed. Just imagine a one year old child asking his mother what is in her womb and how it got there? No matter the explanation the mom gives, he is never going to understand. At least until another decade. Make peace with the fact that God is not your mate. |

hopefulLandlord: Smith actually obtained testimonies from 11 men who said they had seen the golden plates not 8 as you quoted above. But I ask, how does that in the least compare with the lord Jesus whom God began to speak about right from Genesis 3:15 many 1000s of years before he was born and all through the ages by the mouth of prophets of all ages who received inspiration to prophecy what they did not fully grasp at the time? Notice also that just before Jesus came, John had been testifying about him without knowing his identity until he saw the sign. Don't forget, John's had encountered an angel before John's birth so much so that even the people of his day could not take his testimony for granted. Once Jesus arrived, he began to declare that he is the son of God but many including his brothers did not believe him until his death when even a soldier standing declared that "truly, this was the son of God" when he saw all the signs that followed his death. Finally, when he resurrected, he revealed himself to Peter, the twelve, and to more than 500 brothers at the same time most of whom were still living at the time. If you can believe that you are your father's child on the testimony of your mother but can't believing the fact of Jesus resurrection in the face of all the historical evidences, then I clearly can't help you. |

hopefulLandlord: Neither you or me were born 2000 years ago so we must make do with the testimony of those who were and saw him. His disciples notable amongst whom was Thomas, Acts 1:2-4 the empty tomb, the calendar year are sufficient evidences of the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. |
