and thus increasing our problems by creating more confusing choices... goodluck to them

with a great investment plan on the bonus, u shouldnt be worried about loosing your employment after 2 years. you shld start saving for your own start-up. after all, some day, you will still have to be ''let-go'', as u cant work with them forever. earning N500,000 monthly net income for 2 yrs = 12,000,000... abegi.... even if they dont let u go, after 2 years, you should let yourself go as no job is really ''PERMANENT''. even permanent secretaries get retired eventually.

frankly speaking , am happy for you op.from your story, i have made some resolutions:

it is obvious from the various comments that many are in one religion or the other, yet without any tangible personal experience or revelation that should be their defence and basis for their conviction. Many are Christians, or Muslims, but dont know why.

that is why they present weak defences and expanations for their religious inclinations and can not even convince themselves that their religion is true.

others are atheist or agnostics because they want to be as clear headed as possible, since most people that try to preach their religion only resolve to mysticism thinking that that which cannot be explained must be devine. "that which is not natural must be supernatural" so the religionist preaches.

some atheists on the other hand are simply angry with rellgion.

am at that point in my life now where clear headedness is why resolve. I dont believe religion should be unreasonable, irrational or unexplainable. God should not be thought of as that incomprehensible being that floats in eternity, and manipulating everything just for His pleasure. If there is God, His existence, system of government and principes for Lordship must be rational, "empirical" and natural. if I beleive in God, but cant communicate His existence Convincingly to another human being, then I dont know Him enough. If anyone doubts the existence of God, I want to belive its because christians are not being "Properly christianed" to live the christian life. after all "you are the light of the world.... let your 'light' ( illumination, understanding and insight )so... s.h.i.n.e.... before men that they see (and not doubt) your ''good works'' (results, productive results) ... and glorify yourfather in heaven...

therefore, if there are true christians on Nairaland, then there should be commiserate acknowledgement or recognition of their convictions as genuine and evidenced by their circular and spiritual problem solving capacities culminating holistic praises and eulogies that will silence ''indefinately'' all criticisms... and ultimately, lead to more admiration and acceptance by the masses of the religionists and their religion.

in summary,... if i must be a christian, I choose to b the best of it. not creating problems, solving them. I choose to develop my mind,intellectual capacity and skills. i chose to be outstanding and skillfull, i choose to solve complex and simple local, and national; economic and politicalproblems of the world. i choose to thoroughly know the God i call my God so i can present cojent arguments in his favour. if my world celebrates me, they wont have problems accepting my religion. especially if my name resonates truth,integrity,discipline and hardwork.
i think most religionists are lazy fanatics who dont even know much about their immediate environment or whats going on in their world. if you dont know much about the food you eat, the cloth you wear, your electronic devices, etc,how can you expect me to believe your theory about wht you dont know much? this is d arguement of the skeptic.
let christians know their God very well, then relating Him to others would be easier.

Despite the projected 6 billion earth population, funny enough there are more souls willing to incarnate on earth than there are available human bodies.

yea, they are called demons

[quote author=Tloc post=47751601][/quote]if this theory was true, a lower life form would never have evolved to a higher life form without proper ''transformation''.

then it would be impossible for higher life forms to have to evolve back to a lower life form, a basic programmer would never make that error. it would be a bug in his program.
it seems this your system was designed by a human being, not by perfection.

does your system acknowledge the design of the universe as being specific and perfect to the petalionth power....
so what are you saying?

What's weird about spiritual truth? I understand that this is something entirely new to you, and you may probably be hearing it for the first time.

What questions, if any, do you have?

other religions have more plausible claims to their beliefs than this your theory. but you borrow ideas from Christianity and form this seemingly mamonic theory. give me one practical proof of your claim. what "life cycle" are you?
how many previous lifecycles have you gone to?
clearly you believe in heaven/ paradise; yes or no?

bigfrancis21:
. Everybody's situation is unique and different.

weird theory.

[quote author=bigfrancis21 post=47766720]1) There is freewill and abuse of our freewill leads to some of the bad things...[b]

Hmm. O. K. Does that mean free will is only applicable on earth, and not the after life!?
If the souls that have been promoted or that exist in other life forms have will too, why is it only earth beings that get demoted for exercising their will wrongly. Since a promoted soul can decide to come back to teach others the way, how come only Jesus Christ fits this personality? Is He the only one to be promoted and yet agree to come back?
.1.b If the promoted souls have passed through all learning cycles and have become one with the purpose of the universe, don't you think there will be more of them around to show the way?

2. Using the same example of the lady born crippled, I believe such occur either by nature or accident, man made accidents.

Would you say a child born an SS is suffering bad karma? Or simple parental mis match

If bad karma, is it of d child for being born a sickler, or the parent having to take care of a sickler for life?

Some times, some parents give birth to challenged children. E. G polio , k_leg, Mental issues, etc
Would that be karma or plain ignorance/ Negligence?
2.b based on the above, does it mean one can manipulate Karma based on available knowledge of things.
2. C can someone's karma affect another person?, how will that be justified.
3. Lastly, how do you determine whose karma is responsible for what events, seeing that one experience can relate many people together, can someone's karma be to suffer another person's bad karma? How does it work?

bigfrancis21:
Good question you threw out there. Now, remember


in every new lifetime a soul continues from where it stopped in a previous lifetime.

That's my point. If every new lifetime is a continuation of the previous, why will a soul ever develop to be a human soul only to be demoted again?

If karma is true and infallible, why was Adolf Hitler born normal in the first place, only to be demoted in the next life, that shows a disorderly arrangement that doesn't follow a set protocol.

2. Are non human Spirits included in this theory? Since we as humans get promoted to "Devine beings " after completing the circles, are Devine beings also demoted if they fail to complete their own circle? I ask this question because it appears our earth is not just home to human beings alone.

Thanks for your question, from your description

I think you are a late young-early mature soul.

Really confusing

I don't understand the plausibility of this theory.
1. If the various circles are true and re incarnation is true, then explain how, let's assume someone dies as a matured soul, will he reincarnate back as matured, or go and start again as a baby, because I have never seen a matured baby before.

2. If this theory is true, one would have to successfully "pass " level 1 to go to level 2. Then the world wouldn't have morality and criminal problems , because criminals would never have matured to adult level. Or are you suggesting that Adolf Hitler is probably back as goat Inorder to learn life?

I just can't accept this.

saw the title. Got interested.
read through the post got Confused:
Went back to the title now am overghasted and flabberwhelmed. Great write up op

Send him your address so he can ship it to you or the closest post office to you, you can pick it up from there.

Many people hate gays because they believe God hates them, God doesn't hate gays. He loves them. Although He hates their practices and tendencies. But we must see gays as people with a health defect who need healing. Its a personality disorder.


Have a confession to make. If not for God, myself would have been gay

She can't win.maybe another time

neocortex:
Are you saying that god once existed and he is now dead ?

Since he didn't claim anything , he has nothing to prove.

my broda, God isn't d reference point here, u are. Am trying 2 reason along d borders of ur psychology, based on ur idiosyncracy.
I jst dnt bliv dat a goat is a goat because i can c it. Actually, d goat that i can c makes me wonder d numerous vertebrates out there that i cant c, or cant prove thr existence.
Even in d periodic table in chemistry, thr are elements whose properties, mass and atomic nos re predicted but whch hav nt been discovered. Even our knwledge abt energy and matter is so limited, thats y our applications 2 these remain primitive,
i bliv wat i can c points me 2 wat i can not c.

HardMirror:
The real question is what is God?
That is the root question we should answer.

When you are able to define God appropriately it becomes easy to address all these questions about God.

The dictionary meaning of God does not in anyway prove God exists, it only points to the fact that Religion says God exists and this is what religion says God is.
If God is limited to the definition religion gives It, then which God is God?
Which claims about God is true?

Juju and supernatural DOES NOT prove God exists. If you see a dog on the road it does not prove God exists, it only proves dog exists.

If you see a car on the road, it does not prove Man exists. We know man exists because man can testify for himself. Man can prove for himself that he made the car.

You don't see monkey, goats, dogs fighting over who made the car.
There is order.

So which God made the supernatural? Can the God attest for itself?

This is highly worrisome. But lets take u as a case study, what prove is thr that u actualy exist now? Can u prove dat u are existing? As a human being? In 500 yrs frm nw, thr wil b literally no trace of ur xistenc archeologicaly, and in space, thr wil be no record of an event that proves ur existenc, and since al dos that knw u wil b long dead, applying d principl of relativity, E=MCsquare since ur mass is negligible to d mas of d universe and d distance u would hav traveld ur entire life would be negligible compared to d distance light travels in a year, *500yrs... Thrfore d univers records no record of any events 4 ur existence, so we may safely assume u never existed in relation 2 d universe.

Besides, I cant c u right now, how can u prove its nt an AR bot dat posted ds.
Of d entire colours in d light spectrum, d only range the human eye can decode, called visible light ranges 4rm Red to Violet... Others ar cald ultraviolet.
Wat of sound... Those we cant decode (beyond hearn range) are ultra sonic, super sonic... Etc.
Altho we knw thr ar animals wth better hearing, and can pick sounds of family packs, and mates miles away, also, thr are insects that can see infrared, invisible 2 d human eye. So, if d fact that i cant see somethn means its nt there, thn x-rays, radio waves, cosmic wave background, dark matter, dark energy, ... Micro organisms and pathogenic bacteria., etc...

Infact, nothing exists... Scientificaly speaking

[quote author=johnnydon
The things we term juju, black magic or any other ridiculous term people may curb out for it are simply a simplistic way of filling up ignorance with absurd fearful superstition, vague ideas.

A simple probe would actually reveal what really is.

I will pick your stories one after the other, show the holes in some, explain in my own understanding (since i wasn't there) some of the instances.

[b]Atheism has nothing to do with Juju/spirity.
Atheism doesn't mean disbelief in spirits, No! atheism simply means disbelief in God.

whether you believe in juju or not is blatantly independent of it ..

Juju/jazz or anything or other superstitions around them can be independent of belief in God.

One can believe such thing and be an atheist as long as such a person does not believe in any God.

One can still believe in a God and not juju/jazz stuffs... so you see?

Do not equate atheists as people who do not believe in juju that is wrong, Atheist is just a word labeled on those who don't believe in God(s)

What ever it is you believe or not believe after that is your own cup of personal tea.

there are some atheists who buy the juju beliefs only that majority of we atheists in this 21st century tend to lean towards science as the most reliable way of truthful deductions and so we tend to dismiss the juju claims.

I only want to correct this first since your questions were actually based on that wrong premise of "atheist not believing in juju.[/quote]This jst pickd my interest... ''some atheists believe in 'juju'; in oda wrds, demons, but dont believ in God. Almost sounds like they hav 'chosen what to believ in and what not 2'...

And speaking of ignorance, d fact that I chose not to believ in a reality, doesn't prove it doesn't exist, it only shows d limitation of my knowledge abt that reality; which is wat Ignorance is defined as. Am beginning 2 see d diversity of d complexity at hand... But simply stated from wat I read above, d atheists do hav a god... And atheism is a religion...
D god of atheist is science, whch obviously is a demi-god since it is still limited on many fonts.
I postulate as a free thinker (note that am nt a free thinker, i jst posses a mind that can function as one) that atheists hav a religion because of d very definitiön of religion: "a particular system of belief and al d duties &ceremonies associatd wth it''
The belief in d existenc of a God or higher power stems from d conviction of d fact that there is a personality, or system out that posseses absolute knwldge, power and ability 2 chart and direct d course of events in human life. A God, for d religionist is the higher reality that can super impose and influenc abruptly the course of events on earth. That reality, for an atheist, is science.
Let me state here categorically that a typical religionist trusts in, relies on and depends on an eternal ''higher power'' to chart d course of his life and bring him good fortune... Doesnt dat sound like an atheist's faith in science?
An atheist trusts scienc and empirical facts to bring him answers abt health, finance, career, family, entertainment and recreation, d meaning of his life, and defination of happines is as postulated. That is worrisome to me...:

an atheist says belief In God is superstition and d result of ignorance, but isnt dat typical of science, as al of d knowlege we accumulate thru scientific procedures today reveal our gross ignoranc of yestrdy. That is d reason 4 continous postulation of theories an hypothesis. What is an hypothesis, ''a scientific guess''

in oda words, we dont knw what it is but we suspect it is so...
Here is how scienc is defined: '' knowldge based on examining, testing and proving facts... I.e guessing, and then proving d guess works. Isnt dat how al scientific discoveries hav been made, and wil always be made?
Personaly i dont c d difference btw scienc and juju because both rely on experimental facts that give acurate and reproducible results. Infact, juju is a type of science because its methods and results can be reproduc regardles of individual, geographic location and time if d principles are followed acuratly.
Lastly, scienc is an offshoot of religion because it started off as philosophy which is a religion too.

But bro, please ehn, next time, no quote the whole story.
Haba!!!! E too long na.

Haha. Kk

nairayouthcom:
Please nairalanders, please come to my aid, i have been watching this in a movie until it happen to my Girlfriend (coursemate)

Fast forward, this is how the story goes

This particular girl has been living with her family peacefully until 4years ago, she was in ss3 when her parents died in a gastic motor accident

Before her parents died, they acquired alot of properties down, her dad is a medical doctor while her mum is a trader, the family of her dad has just 3brothers which her dad made the 3brother, after that horrible incident the junior to her dad which is the last born of her dad family decided to be taking care of the girl which he packed from his own House to the girl parents House, the journey was voice smoothly until this year when a call came in through her phone, it was the wife of the man taking care of her, she asked her have she seen her period for the new month and she answer not yet time, she now told her to travel down home to pick a phone she bought for her, she told her she's not coming now that she will be coming when there is not better activities in school.....

Another call canme in and at this time it was the man who she used to refer to as DADDY, as at this time the man took time to explain to her that they Want to sell one of her Dad's properties which is located at the heart of Ondo State, this land is 6plots. The next day she jet down to Ondo to confirm what she heard on phone been the first time they will mention her dad properties to her hearing, the land was bought with her name which they cant sell with out her consent

When she reached Ondo they told her that her dad collected loan from Gtbank and the bank are disturbing them to pay back, as at this time, she asked them to tell her the location and they should show her the document of the properties, the worst part of it is that they shut her up with an excuse that she's a female and what does she Want to do with properties, as at this time the lady realised that she has been scammed by the so called DADDY AND MUM

She picked her phone and called the Man elder brother and in a twinkle of an eye he arrived the scene, the so called DADDY told his elder brother that there is no money to help him sponsoring the young girl education again, the elder brother asked the girl that should they sell the land while the girl asked them with a question that she Want to know how many property remain in her dad properties and the so called DADDY told her its remain only the 6plots, she asked them again atleast her dad is a working class person, she asked them to tell her how much remain in her dad account

They told her that her dad has an account with Gtbank and her dad next on kin is her mother that They are unable to touch the account

What the so call DADDY said make the elder brother angry and picked up the 6plots of land document and zoom off

Personally have been helping this lady finacially, am a blogger which i share with her my blog little income with her, as at now she's living in my own roof now cause her landlord is on her for House rent, No food nothing nothing, i decided to post this online cause i believe She shouldnt continue like this

NOW THE LADY NEEDS ALOT OF MONEY TO PAY IN SCHOOL AND THE SO CALLED DADDY SAID HE DIDNT HAVE HANDS IN HER EDUCATION AGAIN (should the young girl sign the document so that the so called daddy turn his better side of him to her to finish her education, she's in an health school in kwara State ? Or she should just forget about her education?)



TO THE BANKERS how can she get access to her dads (ACCOUNT) money


Please my fellow nairaLander she need your Advice

Abeg dont mind my English thats not my mother tongue

Sorry bro to say this, but I think you may be hiding some vital facts. If this is a wrong notion, am sorry, it's best she gets a qualified lawyer and proceed to court. Never sign the papers unless the money goes directly to her account. But her age matters, is she above 18? If yes, proceed to court, she will definitely win, if not, she should go and beg the elder uncle for now abt her fees and be silent abt signing papers. That's my 1cent

1 Corinthians 1:31
…“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

If someone asks you, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” you would probably tell him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved,” wouldn’t you?
Well, a rich, young ruler asked Jesus the same question, but instead of telling him to believe in Him, Jesus gave him the law. (Mark 10:17–22)

Jesus saw that the young ruler lived his life taking pride in his ability to keep the law to earn salvation and the favor of God. But because of His love for the man, Jesus had to show him that those who live by the law must realize that their self-efforts cannot save them.

He therefore reminded him, “You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery…‘Do not steal...‘Honor your father and your mother.’” The young ruler showed that his trust was in his law-keeping when he replied, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.”
So Jesus had to tell him, “One thing you lack…sell whatever you have and give to the poor…and come…and follow Me.” When the young ruler heard that, he walked away sorrowful.

When we boast of having kept the law, it will always point out something we lack or have failed to obey. The law is so holy and perfect that if we don’t keep even one iota of it, it has no choice but to judge and curse us. (Galatians 3:10) That is what the law was designed to do.

God does not want us to boast in our abilities to keep the law. If we are to have confidence in anything at all, if we are to boast in anything at all, it is in the grace of God. Only His grace can completely keep, save, heal, deliver and bless us.

So let’s not boast in what we have done or are able to do, but boast in His grace for us—that He is our strength, health, favor, provision, wisdom, hope, salvation and glory. That is how we will see ourselves enjoying our inheritance of abundant life!

Thought For The Day

Only His grace, not our works, can save, keep, heal, deliver and bless us.

It's good that Ese has been reunited with her folks and the Nigerian media played a very huge role in that. Still, that removes nothing from the fact that the same media left many of us confused. How old exactly is the boy? How old exactly is the girl? When exactly was she "abducted"? ...

And when I say "lazy journalists", I am referring to the evidence that some of the reporters actually failed to do their home work well before publishing their reports - The Nation, The Punch, Premium Times have different ages for the abductor and the abductee. Which is which?

Oo I get your point. Lapses here and there. But no worries, the most important facts have been laid bare. These other factors may not be relevant to the subject matter.
