LilChamp:
Hello peeps, am really confused as I'm typing this.
Recently I subscribed to Mtn 'Do Not Disturb' Me package. It wasn't long I noticed I can't receive third party sms i.e bulk sms.
Immediately I noticed this I quickly proceeded in deactivating it.
The problem now is that I still can't receive third party messages. No job interview invites is coming in anymore. Just last week I met someone helping in securing a contract, he told me a bulk sms was sent to all the applicants. I told him I didn't receive any but he thought I was lieing.
Pls what can I do to start receiving third party messages back. I have made several calls to mtn customer care and I have texted ALLOW to 2442 several time but still no solution.
Am worried pls anyone affected too and how were you able to resolve this?
simply port your number.simple.

Christianity EtcRe: Garden Of Eden by twosquare(m): 9:31pm On Jan 05, 2017
SweetJoystick:
Genesis chapter 2 vs 15; The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. 16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden - 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat it's fruit, you are sure to die."


Genesis chapter 3 vs 1; The Serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, "Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?" 2 "Of Course we way eat fruit from the trees in the garden, the woman replied. 3 It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, "you must not eat it or even touch it, if you do, you will die" 4. You won't die! The serpent replied to the woman. 5 God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.


Genesis chapter 3 vs 22 Then the Lord God said, "Look the human beings have become like us, knowing both good and evil. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life, and eat it? Then they will live forever! 23 So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. 24 After sending them out, the Lord God stationed might cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden, and he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.


I was reading the bible this morning when I got confused with these verses above. What did God really mean when he asked man not to eat from that particular tree (knowledge of good and evil)?

Did he really mean death as recorded in the bible? Or that man will be vulnerable to death? If vulnerable to death, why the tree of life which would have given man ability to live forever if Eve/Adam had eaten from it?

If he meant death did he lie? I refuse to believe he lied though because he isn't man that should lie, was that verse wrongly interpreted?

Was the serpent telling the plain truth about what would happen if Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

Was it God's plan for his creation (man) to die? If it wasn't why then did he create the tree of life which Adam or Eve would have eaten from just like from the other tree and therefore would be immortal.
What did God really mean when he asked man not to eat from that particular tree (knowledge of good and evil)?


I saw your mention but I have been so busy to even respond to comments. I will try and give you a background to your questions. What God meant? Well, that is what He meant but there is one thing you should know: when God speaks, don't think you have known it all...His words are actually deep; the same thing I've discovered with spirits. What God is saying is that if Man eats out of TKGE (Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), he will die. That dying (death) is beyond the normal death whereby people leave their vessel (body) behind. It just occurred to me now as I write this that God was not just speaking of the present to Adam, He was also speaking into the future of what will happen to the race of Adam. In what way? The death is not just leaving the body but to bring men to a state where they die in their spirit, soul and body.. Satan has been looking for a way to kill what God called Man for ages but it takes time for men to respond to death even after the fall but the Spirit showed John the future that the death that was spoken of in Eden via TKGE shall be achieved when a man has acquired the full-blown nature/stature of death (which is 666). That death spoken of in Eden which its programme shall be achieved at this end of the age is a state where you can no longer respond to God like evil spirits. Dying in our body is still far away in the camps of this DEATH spoken of in Eden. When God warned man not to eat TKGE- He was also saying what stood in the middle of the garden are two civilisations. Adam chose the civilisation of the fallen Cherub (TKGE) and it has bred disaster since.


Did he really mean death as recorded in the bible? Or that man will be vulnerable to death? If vulnerable to death, why the tree of life which would have given man ability to live forever if Eve/Adam had eaten from it?

I think my answers above expatiated on it more for this question. However, Man would have immortalised sin in his race like the evil spirits having no opening window for repentance programme. Out of love, God drove him out of the garden lest he commits another costly mistake. It takes time to inherit the ability of the TOL (Tree of Life) as described in Rev.22:2. Man became vunerable to everything the program of death have for our race (I mean everything). However, during those days, the programme of death was young and could not easily penetrate the covering of some men to a pedigree but found a way via Cain. Knowing Abel was an "enemy of progress" to its evil agenda. Abel must have been doing something to keep the influence of death at bay. But you should know that even when men were vulnerable to death, some escaped it literally e.g Enoch, Melchizedek, Elijah and some the Scripture never mentioned their names I believe.


Was the serpent telling the plain truth about what would happen if Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?


No, he wasn't telling the whole truth. Like every evil spirit, one thing you should know about the dark world is that they will not tell you the whole truth and always love to mix little truths with lies. It is all a camouflage to deceive. You should know the best lies are the ones with little truths in it. Now, the two tress offered the same thing- you should know this. But out of the two offers, one was actually lying. Just check the offers: You will not die (what the tree of life does); You will be like God (Jesus learnt the TOL and was confirmed in Heb.1:8; Heb 1:1-3). So, the true destiny of Adam was to be like God true true but it is like going to computer village to buy Iphone and discovering you just bought the one with fufu inside. The serpent (satan) scammed Eve but Adam chose to disobey because he was looking for a shorcut but was scammed also.

Was it God's plan for his creation (man) to die? If it wasn't why then did he create the tree of life which Adam or Eve would have eaten from just like from the other tree and therefore would be immortal.

No, Adam was meant to learn an higher light of the TOL via the tutelage of Jehovah...reason He normally visits Adam at the cool of the day to teach Him stuff. Reason He created TOL was to make sure Adam inherit His nature and become the lord of Angels, the express image of the triune God. I believe God allowed TKGE to grow with TOL (as reported in Genesis 2:9. He made to grow...in other words, He allowed them to find expression in Eden without hindrance. Satan must have pressed God to test Adam just as he tested Jesus. Jesus told the parable of wheat and tares to show us that the enemy always love to plant his things just beside God's. Same thing played out in Eden). I hope I've tried to answer your questions. Gracias.

Christianity EtcRe: Book Of Life by twosquare(m):
SweetJoystick:
I'm lost kind of about the book of life.

What does the book of life contain? Does it contain the record of life of each person who once lived on earth? Or does it contain the name of persons who will enter/made it to Heaven? If it's a record of ones life, when you face God/Jesus that means judgement will be meted for one to make heaven or hell once your life history is played or read out.

If it does contain names of persons who made it to heaven, at what point are their names written in the book of life? Is it at the point of being born again? Or at the point/just before death?

If it's at the point of being born again, what happens when one back slides? Is the name removed and re registered again when re dedicates his life to Christ?

If it's at the point of death, does it mean your way of life before death will determine if one will make it to heaven or not? Or if you don't have Christ in you just before you die, you won't make heaven still?

Or if you accept Christ just before you die, you would make heaven. If you make heaven by accepting Christ just before you die.......
Although I do not have much strength to type at this hour, but let me just add one or two things.

Is the name removed and re registered again when re dedicates his life to Christ?

Although it is not direct but it is similar: Can names be erased from “the book of life”? Yes. God said regarding disobedient people in ancient Israel: “Whoever has sinned against me, I shall wipe him out of my book.” (Exodus 32:33) But if we prove faithful, we will remain in “the scroll of life.”—Revelation 20:12.

What does the book of life contain? Does it contain the record of life of each person who once lived on earth? Or does it contain the name of persons who will enter/made it to Heaven?

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. (Rev. 20: 12) I think the bolded answered your question automatically.

If it's a record of ones life, when you face God/Jesus that means judgement will be meted for one to make heaven or hell once your life history is played or read out.

I don't know if the above is a question or commentary to preceding questions you asked. Well, I've answered the deeds part (according to what they have done). Now, is this judgement being passed out meant to decide who will enter/remain in Heaven or Hell? Answer is capital NO. This is the judgement to decide who shall be a partaker of the world to come (The New Heaven and New Earth). Even Scriptures says the present Heaven believers are running to will pass away (Heb. 1: 10-11; Rev. 21: 1). Same with Hell/Hades you mentioned, Hell too will be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire. "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." (Rev. 20: 14). Can you see now...this judgement you are asking about is not a judgement into hell/hades but Lake of Fire (they are two different things entirely). What you should know is that what some men are experiencing right now is Hell; Lake is yet to come. Let me describe it like this: Hell is just for torture; Lake is for annihilation. That is God's own punishment gangan. Hell is run by devils but when the time of Lake comes, they themselves will be tormented and burned. Anyone whose name is not found in the book of life will be thrown into the lake...no shortcut. Why? I will answer it in the next question.

When is the name written in the book of life, erased, rewritten..etc,?

Now, I promised to answer the why question. However, you should know that there is more to the book of life, and i can't say all here.It is deep but let me summarise just like the bible did. The 'why' question i said is that anyone whose name is not in the book of life only means one thing: such a person is a lake material. Now, to become a lake material is not because you were once a robber (though everything has its reward); but someone who has fallen into the state of the second death. When a guy falls into a state of the second death; such a one cannot and cannever repent even when God appears to Him....they have reached a state of no return (death), they have died twice in their soul and spirit. They are now like satan who can never repent, that is why they cannot be saved- what next is to throw them into Lake prepared for satan and his angels. This is why atheists don't know what they are doing to themselves gradually- they're killling something via wrong knowledge, and such knowedge is not here to make you feel 'more intelligent' but to first steal from you, kill you and then destroy you- those are the stages of satanic programme to kill a man's soul. Killing a man's soul is not by throwing him to hell (people still remember Jesus in hell and plead) but for one's soul to die is to be cut off totally from the Life of God and become one with satan. Second death folks will hate God for who he is; even God will try and save them by melting out punishment to get them to a state of repentance and seek mercy but they will curse him as those punishment is landing (as evident in Rev. 16:9)

Only God knows when it is written whether at the beginning or end...the Keeper of those books know...but one thing you should know is that there is something with judgement and the opening of books.....and books were opened...and books were opened...Daniel mentioned it n Dan. 7:10, same with John in Rev. 20:12.

Christianity EtcSri Lankan Church Service Prints Tupac Rap Lyrics By Accident by twosquare(op):
Christmas carols aren't supposed to have lyrics like "revenge is like the sweetest joy, next to getting p***y."

But that's exactly what churchgoers in Sri Lanka saw in booklets at a carol service on December 11.


What they expected was the words to the Hail Mary, a common Christian prayer. What they got instead was the profanity-laced lyrics to rap legend Tupac Shakur's Hail Mary.

Andrew Choksy, who attended the Joy to the World service where the lyrics were distributed, said he recognized the Tupac song straight away.

"A lot of people were in shock as whether it was a joke or someone would actually rap the song," he told CNN. "A few of the older ladies in front of us could not stop looking at the printed booklet."

The rap version of Hail Mary contains lyrics about explicit violence, references to female Instruments and the N-word.
Instead of the traditional "Hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with thee," Tupac's version asks Mary, "Do you want to ride or die?"
The event was advertised as "a festival of music for peace and harmony."

Priest apologizes for mistake

The Sri Lanka event, which was held in the capital Colombo, was organized by the Archdiocese of Colombo and the Joseph Vaz Trust.
Father Da Silva, from the archdiocese, told CNN once organizers realized the mistake they asked for the books back.
"The page was in the middle of the booklet. When people looked at this page, they saw it before the start of the show. Two people saw it and alerted us to it," he said.

Father Da Silva said the printer had been a "young boy" who had simply downloaded the wrong version of the song.
"We are very sorry to say that this happened," he said.

I wont even lecture you on the nitty-gritty of not becoming unequally yoke which you should know as a Christian. However, can you vouch that 15 years to this time, his love wey still dey do you both grahgrah will be there...won't he marry another wife on top of you later since it is "meh". Even Christian to Christian marriages pass through fire and divorce do happen...when all those feelings dissipates and it's all gone, will you be able to take the heat? I will advise you to listen to your parents and stop that discussion for your own good because you don't know yet what you really want. Shut down those emotions and ask yourself if you really want this? Before you can enter into a marital relationship with someone...look through into the future with the eyes of foresight if God grants you (without bias), and don't look at Now...if you can stay with such a fellow through perils and family recession and if such a person can stay with you through same. If you meditate on these things, then we will likely have less problems in marriages. It is beyond those feelings o...it is a commitment of oath and "swearing" unto whatever comes. Feelings will go, love may dwindle, and sexual appeal may evaporate but being True (truth) and Faithful will keep us going.

As the saying goes in Yoruba: Eni bi ti eda wa...eeyan bi Eledumare ni o si (there is always someone like the other people in the world, but no one like God). Meaning he is nice, but there are better people out there in being nice and also nice like him. Above all, I know how you feel...ire oo
