frosbel2: Who are you to twist scripture to suit your tradition.The issue here is that its diffiucult to knw wat u belief as a person, using the bible as a yardstick. Anyway i hope u see my post, or u read it comprehensivly before ur comment cos u sound as if u want to quote me before making ur comment. As i said ealier, and i repeat, man is composed of the body, soul and the spirit as taught by paul the apostle and dats not to nullify that God breath upon Adam and he became the first living soul (cos ther is yet a conjugal relationship for human reproduction hence God direct involvement in creating the 1st man). U can choose to belief wat u like, but dnt ridicle the bible as usual. |
frosbel2: Who are you to twist scripture to suit your tradition. |
ijawkid: Paul here was referring to the spirit,soul, and body of the composite christian church and not the souls,body and spirit of individuals..............Its quite amazing wen i see pple blatantly twisting the bible to promote a false doctrine frm an organization. Lets look at this scenario: i am lecturer in a university and after lecture i told my students 'may God bless u and protect u'. Frm ur analysis above, Paul was actually saying 'may God bless and protect the school' and not the students. The problem is still the scrpited response from the watchtower passed down to the publishers as a default response to certain question; and dats not good at all cos its open to acceptin evrything whether true or false without independent jugdement. To put it clearer to u, Paul was praying for the xtains and not the 'composite church' as u cunningly and technically put it. Man is composed of the spirit, soul and ur physical body (u can call it a container dat houses ur spirit and soul). Dats the major reason while u r asleep and in dreams ur body (or vessel) is lifeless while u can still engage in 'normal' activities as if u r in a phyical world (but in dreams). This is just to point out the fact the man is made of the spirit, soul and body as put right by Paul the apostle. Dnt twist or misinterprete. |
Policewoman: Cos it comes cheap. But on a more serious note, Abakiliki people are known for their Fulani like behaviour. Na the corper go look for trouble.U r 100% right. I agree. |
An excellent publicity stunt for Islam. Hope she wont visit Islamabad. |
true2god: Hi Ijawman, jesus said:. |
true2god: Hi Ijawman, jesus said:. |
ijawkid: Ahhh!!.....you guys insist the holy spirit is a person and infact a God or an equal with GOD and then I ask what is the name of the holy spirit........abi you don ever see person wey no get name??.......Hi Ijawman, jesus said: 1: i am the bread of life (dis does not make Jesus agege bread but the messgae here is dat Jesus is the word of God. 2: he is the root and offspring of david ( dis does not mean David is the biological father but with reign spiritually as a king in the stead of David) 3: he is the the lion of the tribe of Judah (dis does not make him an animal, but signified the authority he will posseses) 4: the living water (dis does not make him a spring of water) The 4 examples given above are both a metaphoric and figurative representation of Jesus just to expound of his personality and his earthly mission. The problem here is the generic interpretation of the bible according to JW. If JW accept the person of the holy spirit as a living being, they will find it hard to refute the doctrine of trinity. Even if u dnt accept the doctrine of trinity but accept a simple bible verse and the teaching of Jesus whom we say we serve. Cos if u call the Holy spirit an active force like an electricity, radar, batterry or wind, u not only give a wrong interpretation of the bible but make Jesus a liar for using a masculine and animated adjective for the holy spirit. There is nothing wrong if one chose not to believ in the person of the holy spirit, but u need not quote unsupportive verse of the scriptures to drive home a false biblical belief\teaching. The language is plain and simple, 'i will send the comforted who the world do not knw', 'i will send the messanger who the world do not knw, frm the father. Kindly note, the spirit of God can possess a million pple at a time. It is still one spirit that is at work. Lemme giv u a personal testimony, sometime in 2007 i visited a pastor friend, as a well were talkin he told me dat the spirit of God told me i will travel oversea (even tho' i neva planned or tot of travelling out of Nigeria). 2010 a different man tell me same thing (despite the fact the i didnt ask him anything or even had any plan or money for travelling). Thats hw the holy spirit works. Pple need to go back to the gospel according to John and read ALL Jesus said\teached about the holy spirit and not wat an organization made dem to accept as gospel truth. |
torres2: Abeg no vex jare, I no know say we be padi'Awon olote', meaning enemies of arsenal. God pass una. Make una dey play una europa league dey go. |
ijawkid: Ok let's begin..Hi Ijawman dis is a default and rehearse\memorized JW response to the question of the Holy Spirit. The metaphorical concept\active force concept is not biblical. When Jesus said he will send another in the person of the Holy Spirit he made it very clear HE is a person who will teach, comfort, remind, and equip d believers. Jesus said the comforter can only come after he has left. '...baptising them in the name of the father (God almighty, a living being), and of the Son (Jesus, a living being) and of the Holy Spirit (the comforter, a living being). Stop using\quoting scriptures out of context to defend falsehood. Hw's ur service yr? |
I dnt see NK making any physical provocation cos they understand the danger too well. China is a rising power, but have not yet tasted real wars agaunst the 'big boiz'. So they are not vry dependable partner in term of global conflict. The Russians are only using dem as a buffer zone in the pacific in case of any eventuality. Russian, much like the west, do not want war, tho' they hav all the means to fight any major battle on a large scale. God forbid, in the event of any confrontation bw NK and the US their likelihood of direct engagement is less dan 10% cos it will surely turn nuclear bw the super-powers. Above all, the issue will die down in a month's time or less. While fresh sanctioned might likely be rolled out against NK, the negotiation dat will follow will still be like before: DENUCLEARIZE AND RECEIVE GIFTS. |

obadiah777: YES RUSSIA IS KNOWN AS 'GOG'. AMERICA IS BABYLON. IRAN IS MEDES OR PERSIA. CHINA IS MOAB. ARABS ARE ISHMAELITES. JAPANESE ARE AMMONITES. ETHIOPIANS AND SOMALIANS AND ERRITREANS AND HAUSAS AND FULANIS ARE HAMITES. NEGROS ARE ISRAELITES. CAUCASIANS ARE EDOMITESWhat r u saying guy? Can u prove wat u have been writing since? Im a xtain but i dnt knw where u get all these frm. |
This topic/event is as interesting as dangerous. To me there is a behind-the-scene events being cautiosly played by the US and China. The chinese are using the North-koreans are as litmus test to the US commitment in the korean peninsula and the entire south east asia where china never want any foreign military presence and interference. This is particularly the unresolve issue of Taiwan which the china regarded as their pple and their territory as well. If washington can be muscle/force out of korea, the Taiwan issue wont be a problem any longer. The chinese will easily annex Taiwan fully to Beijing and the power equation in asia will quickly shift to Beijing which the American do not want and cannot not accept except for military defeat. Tho' the Chinese are vry strong militarily given the arsenal at their disposal, but they are not tested power in a major military engagement. All the parties involved are vry vry careful not no escalate the situation (aside frm harsh rhetorics frm pyongyang), non want any serios military confrontation cos they are knw the result, TOTAL DESTRUCTION of both sides of the koreas peninsula. The games here is bw Beijing and washington. The chinese are not comfortable with the strong US presence in the south east asia, while the Americans are afraid of the growing chineses military that must be contained at all cost. I dont see any hostility aside frm the rhetorics and war freenzy going on in that part of the world presently. |
slimyem: Am I the only one who thinks all these pictures are ugly?No. Mee too. |
pleep: Do you know that at the end of the war the Soviet army was larger than the American army in numbers and in tanks and artillery? The amount of casualties the Russians suffered clearly does not mean much when they were still the largest army in the world.Yes, it terms of conventional forces the Soviet army is the largest then, but not in nuclear forces, after the war. Towards the end of 1942 the tide of war turned against the German both in the atlantic and the eastern front. All by the effort of the allies. The russians were doing the bulk of the fighting no doubt (they lost more than 23 million men compare to US who lost roughly 450,000 and the British 520,000). Lets say there was no initial allies support to the Russians in terms of arms, medicine and food supply, all the population of stalingrad would have starved to death during the 400day siege and the Germans would hav easily marched to moscow. The allies did assist the Russian not cos they love them, but to ensure that Russia do not collapse paving way for the Japanese(who are active belligerent against the allies) and the German forces to to meet in far eastern russian to mongolia. If that had happend the Americans will surely be defeated as well. Josef Stalin (or the Russians), before the war, was German ally before their (German) invasion of Russia, hence the western allies were reluctant to give them full support to end the war quickly. Thats y the Russian did the bulk of the fightings themselves. But without the initial allies support at the begining of the German offensive, the Russians would hav collapse by the end of 1942. If the British had accepted Hitlers peace plan of 1941 so that the Germans would concentrate fully on the Russians, the result would hav been the opposite in the east. |
manny4life: Smoking is not good for your health, opinions or not, it's irrelevent, what matters is the QUALITY. Someone asked, SA University that participated, about fifty something spots higher than OAU in Africa's best FAILED to meet up but UNIZIK did, does that mean that SA University would have crushed them?Quit talkin as if u live in the UK. Are u not a Nigerian? Do u knw that most of the UNIZIK students dat made Nigeria proud would have all failed pricewaterhouse coopers executive trainees exams while their counterpert frm UNILAG would be sucessful (if the test is conducted by Nigerians)? Stop talking as if u live in Vatican city and be truthful to ur self for once. The country is corrupt and we need a paradign shift to move forward. |
pleep: So true, i thought i was the only one who believed this.The Russian alone wouldnt have survive the Nazi onslaught without the support of the US in the supply of food, winter cloths, arms, and transport trucks (to move soldiers frm siberia to stalingrad as fast as possible to replace all destroyed platoons). The Russian airforce was a big mess at the start of the German invasion as their airforce almost collapsed to the superior German luftwaff, but the more experienced British RAF came to the rescue. And remember, the Germans were fighting the US airforce and the British airforce in the west and at the same time facing the Russian tanks and steam rollers in the east. If the Germans do not make the mistake of fighting a war on two fronts, there is no way the Russian CAN single-handedly beat them. And for your information the Russians alone had one-third of the entire casualty during the second world war. The defeat of the Germans was a joint effort of many countries and not only the Russians. |
bestview: Because una go use politics, federal character and quota system to award marks to one amala university and another uni in the north that specilise on training boko students.I totally agree with u. If this test was conducted in Nigeria the result might come thus: first: OAU second: UNILAG third: UNILORIN fourth: UNIBEN fifth: IBADAN sixth: UNIZIK This is based on the simple response frm some nairalanders which represents the opinion of certain region in Naija. Thats the problem with the Nigerian society, CORRUPTION AND TRIBALISM. |
Tolexander: UNIZIK thank your star that OAU that use to be 2nd to none in Nigeria wasn't in the competition.So funny a guy. |
Airforce1: MumuUna nogo kill person for Nairaland. |
vosquare: 1st to reply.....@ Moderator i think u need do more in protecting the good intention of Nairaland by filtering out all this: '1st to comment', '2nd to comment',........................'7th to comment', 'dancin azonto', and all primary/secondary school users who have infiltritated Nairaland with their nansense comment: who hav no sensible contribution to make. This has to stop, u can start by hidding all these 'non-contributory' comments listed above. I think i need to hav a meeting on Seun on dis issue. Will call u later. |
ArQueBusieR: The silence of Northern elites and muslims the world over, is worse than the actual violence. Fact.No prob as long as muhammed is not insulted. This pple can continue killing but make sure their mohammed is not depicted in a wrong way else the muslim leaders/imams/emirs will break their silence. Wrong set of pple: northern/muslim leaders. |
[quote author=coal_coal]There's no where in the report that bakare described buhari as a rogue[/quote]Thank u, |
Ilaje Omuro: You must be completely deluded or perhaps out of your senses to say Lagos is not South West! Stop deceiving yourself; which part of Nigeria has not provided succour for the Igbo man? Even when the Hausa/Fulani may murder all their children today, you will still find the Igbo man in the remotest of all Hausa villages tomorrow. I don't relay blame them for the survival instinct but the truth is that they should learn to be grateful to people that clothe them and shelter them when their birth places are so inclement.'Oma yemi' (as ilaje pple call 'my broda'), i believ u understand simple english. Most Igbo pple in the south west live in Lagos. I dnt say Lagos is not south west. I mean 95% of igbos in the south west live in Lagos for business opportunities. Dnt let ur hatred becloud ur sense of reasoning or ur ability to understand a simple english. Read, comprehend, then respond. |
Ilaje Omuro: The Igbos don't want to acknowledge that they need Nigeria more than any other ethnic group. Saddled with a God foresaken landscape that they find unbearable to dwell, one would expect them to show some level of respect to their host communities wherever they live. But this pomposity and over sabi attitude will always pitch them against other groups. |

But this pomposity and over sabi attitude will always pitch them against other groups.Aside frm Lagos, bw Ibadan(south west) and onitsha (south east), abeokuta (southwest) and aba (south east), ogbomoso (south west) and enugu (south east), akure (south west) and owerri (south east), which areas are more developed. Most Igbos in the south west live in Lagos and not ogbomoso, akure, ile ife, ibadan or other yoruba towns. The reson being that Lagos, as a former capital territory, provides more job/business opportunities than all the states in naija. Note that Lagos is not south west but one of the states in the south west. I hope u get it. |
Don Tim: Just imagine α̩̩̩̩̥ Nigeria without igbos! I c peace n less arogance + respect for the rest of us.It is quite an irony that when the same Igbos wanted to leave the country all the ethnic groups (except efik/ibibio) joined together in alliance to stop them with the war slogan: 'keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be done'. If the problem of Nigeria are the Igbos y must u still force dem into the federation the dnt want to be? |
frosbel: ^^^Pls look for a more cogent reason to criticize the church (or men of God), as a regular trade-mark. You can do better dan the list you listed. Since u dnt belong to, or associate with any xtain org (or/and mention one if u do, which i think u wont as a hyper-hypocrite), do u think u hav a moral right to judge or criticize anyone/organization? Just like a student who always say: 'i have not seen a school that teaches her student very well', 'i cant go to school cos all my teachers are not qualified, i am even knw berra dan dem', 'the text books used in all the schools are out-dated, so i wont go to school', 'the school building are old'. Any student lookin for excuses here and there as a reason for not wanting to go to school end up academic failures. The same thing in spirtual matters, anybody looking for excuses here and there in order to bring the church into disrepute is a failure spiritually. No human organization/govt is perfect as long as they r not run by angels or spirit being but mortals. Or do u think u can do better as a spiritual leader? Then start a ministry and lets see hw it goes, i will personally be in support of the ministry if its to be for the edification of the body of christ. Bros stop all this criticism so that ur tongue is not broght against u in judgement. U look more intelligent than bein a mere critic in the gospel of christ. |
Joagbaje: Really and you don't know yet at all these evil report of the church to the world is doing more damage to the gospel . Instead of using Internet and resources to bring men to christ you labour to shame him. Giving evil reports of his work and his kingdom.Thanks bro. The ops also failed to mentions that: 1)Preaching the gospel via internet is bad (cos Jesus neva used the internet) 2)Riding a car is bad cos Jesus neva used one 3)Wearing a jacket and trousier is bad cos Jesus didnt wear one. 4)Preaching the gospel in english is bad cos Jesus didnt speak english 5)Using a satellite system to preach the gospel is bad cos Jesus didnt communicate to/with the whole world at a time during his earthly ministry. 6)Cooking for pple in a xtain convetion/retreat is bad cos Jesus rather used few breads and fish (multiply dem) to feed the congregation. And so on. In economics there is wat is called 'diminishing returns'. The ops is presently at his diminishing returns at church critism and dats good news for us. Cos hes obviosly running short of new 'criticism' ideas. |
