Giordano Bruno in 1592 makes the claim that the Earth revolves around and the sun, the Holy Father then sees his claim as satanic. So they pray to God who told them the wicked man must die. The clamp his tongue to the roof of his mouth and burn him alive. Today, what do we teach our children about the Earth and the Sun?

So you can blame this man till tomorrow and his actions may seems new just look at history. Then you will have much questions than answer

ONE: promises you fame, and Money to help you overcome shame ,ridicule in today's society and poverty in your family ... ANOTHER will tell you what shall it profit you to gain the world and lose your soul. In summary, while one exploit our Desires to be successful in this world. Another exploit your fear of death and promises eternity. Just to quote Lucky Dube Lyrics puppet master: " somewhere between Heaven and earth that's where you will find real freedom"

I'm sorry if someone feel I offended God with this comment. I'm just a curious guy who uses reason to guid my faith and verse Vesa. My point is, something may befall a man that's beyond the power of that man: never argue with a blind man who says he had a dream during the day after all his eyes is always closed.

We can talk talk and talk, lie Mohammed will continue to lie, lie and lie Cus is who we are. Do an average Nigerian ever sees his wrongs? But waiting...oooh, In a general sense do humans ever see their own fault? Not when is easier to blame someone else short comings so you can feel good about yours. Adam who eat the Apple? Papa God, Na Eve.... Eve how about you? Na Snake.....so God must ask snake right?

Why did the youth decided to loot follow citizen property when the real intentions was police brutality? This will continue to be Mr Mohammed headline.....why we talk about Toll gate.... So who go shift ground?

Buhari.... Lie lie Mohammed, Dansuki.... They are the symptoms......we are the disease. Every election you cure the symptoms yet you want the disease to go away.... How funny..... In Lucky Dube's voice one Monster die another one comes alive.

I heard some section are clamoring for Good luck Johnathan returned...... Hmmm, that's interesting, my question is why does it take Buhari for you to know Johnathan was good or what you needed? what does that say about us? And how sure are you that he will not come for revage or become worse? I mean, Things has changed also experience never leave you the same way it found you......funny generation.

grandlexuz:
Wow you really do amaze me with your writings. Insightful, proverbial but most interestingly well rounded. Your response to most issues feels like I wrote them. I am going through everyone of your post. Something I have only done once despite being on nairaland for over 13years.

I did go through Nwamaikpe posts once. Crazy dude. I wonder what happened to him. Some say he died and resurected into righteousness89. Hahaha

I appreciate your kind words believe me, Cus is far easier to criticize or condem than appreciate & praise: is human nature, especially in a generation where rationality is in short supply.

I have been in NairaLand since 2013, not really been active, just reading comments.

ThatFairGuy:
So why is this a news?
Is there anything bad in correcting the child from the way of lost she's threading

Solving teenager emotional need with physical abuse and we are civilized people, right? let's see how far the method will work.

The moment Republican chooses Trump as a Presidential candidate in 2016, that was when i realized, America has lost her way. Trump: that was the Best they could offer? even Nigerian official joked about Trump 2016 victory as a mockery, they want to tell me they are surprised with this Adult -child tantrum in White House with all their intelligence? Wow...... The moment Trump was indicted but not impeach that was The Republican saving their face

Democrats foolishly offer Hilary Clinton, I mean Obama victory was a breath of fresh air from Bush/Clinton domination and suddenly they returned to the past: Clinton. So their not excepted from this shame.
Many Americans did not vote in 2016 cus the two candidate was between very Bad and Worst.

And to some of us so called Christian supporting Twitter President, I mean, have you been following him this past 4years ? What does that say about you Christianity...ahh he talk & call God every time how gullible.

Obama is anti-christ....Kamalla is evil..... Biden is that.. I mean, if God want to end or save this world do you really thing whoever is in power matter? Sometimes Christians forget about the case of Judas and Saul(Paul): one sit , eat, walk and talk with Christ, the other did not even see him, persecute Christian, yet today, we benefit from many of his writings and what do we benefit from Judas? Sometimes we forget that the heart of a King is in the hand of God he turned as he see fit. Talking about God or things of God in social media every 2mnt does not make you child of God nor righteousness. Just a snowman.

Some women fail to get it... Not every misunderstanding must lead to quarrel. A soft answer take away anger or take a step back and discuss the issue letter.

For the fact that someone is married for 10years does not necessarily mean he/she has Ten years marriage experience.....sometimes is just 1year experience for 10years.

The Winner takes it all...... Well, in this case take her all...........

sirjamesjnr:
My fiancee is a known Nairaland. DrFunmisticGlow.

Is that a reason to get Married?

sirjamesjnr:
So I have this conversation with some group of like minds and these are what I could get from our discussion:
On the negative side;
1.Abuse and manipulation
2.Disrespect and devaluation
3.Constant complaints and criticism
4.Feelings of perpetual inadequacy and failure to meet unrealistic expectations (I deal with that enough at work; I don’t want it at home)
5.Being ignored
6.Being cheated on
7.Being lied to about her level of sexual involvement with others (not in the sense of cheating, but potential exposure to STDs)
8.Being unloved, uncared about, and taken for granted
9.Not being allowed to make mistakes
10.Not being allowed to have my hobbies
11. Being treated like a piece of meat
12. Being expected to put up with his/her endless bullshit (which is usually deal-breaker stuff) while simultaneously not being allowed to be human myself
13. Being subjected to skewed perceptions of reality and overreacting to stupid shit
14.constantly wondering when he/she’s going to dump me for reasons that are unknown to me
15. Trying to change or “fix” me
On the positive side:
1.Career- To achieve stability most people opt for an academic path with lasts till the mid-20s sometimes even till the late 20s. Post that, once they get that lucrative job/onsite opportunity they aspired for, they delay marriage. Marriage is considered a potential hindrance to professional success by many people.
2.Space- Everyone seeks independence, especially millennials. Long term relationship requires sharing of this space which people don't like
People are warier and warier of :

3.Compromises- Marriage, by definition, is living with another person. This is bound to require adjustment which isn't easy

4.Commitment - This freaks youngsters today. When you're dating in college, commitment comes easy. But marriage brings along a different set of responsibilities which need a commitment of the highest order

5.The process of arranged marriage- This is a makes to the list purely because it shrouds the sanctity of marriage. Girls seeking millionaires and guys seeking miss universes just disturbs the definition and sanctity of the institution

6.With the advent of feminism, women are more self-reliant than they have ever been. Therefore they too don't seek a partner for financial independence and postpone relationships.

Mine: Career and schooling. My girl still has her masters to deal with.
So ladies and gentlemen, why you are single?
How can we close the circle?

Why are you Married?


Or intends to get Married?

TOPCRUISE:
Nonsense. I never did all these but she still thinks I want to fvck her

And what does that tell you?

People always want to use their personal experiences or principle as a constitution for everyone

Macrofrancis:
Are you confused about if what you are getting is true love or is he just after your body?

Women are beautiful and trust me, their physical appearance is the first feature that attracts an admirer. But what if this admirer is just interested in this outer look and doesn't care about other features, read to find out.

1. His best topic when talking with you is 'your body'
To a large extent, this is the most noticeable sign that he is only interested in your body, but people ignore this. When all he talks about is your enticing shape, how big your boobs and booty are, watch out, he is after your body.

2. He touches you inordinately
If you man is the kind of man that touches your private parts carelessly for fun, sometimes even in public, it is a sign of no respect for those parts (your body) and it sure shows he is after your body.

3. He never talks of marriage.
Has he ever spoken of marriage to you or does wave off any topic relating to marriage?
A guy who desires more than your sexual gifts show a mild intention of making your relationship lead to somewhere lasting. It doesn't matter what number marriage is on his to-do list.
He will always chip in talks of marriage if he wants the relationship to lead somewhere.

Honestly some of you Mr/Mrs 50ways of this or 1000 ways of that do mess things up without even knowing, especially for those who don't know who they are or what they want ... Humans are mystery you can't deduce everything about them by numbers or rules, that's why new numbers are set and rules broken.
You want to know what you want or who is good for you, simple : know your fucking self, constantly examine yourself. people that their marriage end, do you think their partner didn't meet their list? The universe is not in the business of respecting your myopic list. if it was in today's world Jesus Christ wouldn't have been born cus Mary would have been Stone to death cus it was against the rule, the king, her relatives were not informed only her. Not to mention Joseph that guy for don run far far. Am curious how many of this rules and list and numbers were given to our grandparents

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/08/nigerias-problem-not-restructuring-osinbajo/

Mr Osinbajo I disagree, we need restructuring just not land and property but Nigerian brain especially the Youth. Today's youth are the type that can disturb an important ceremony because of one bottle of beer, is that the type you send to Aso Rock? To entertain international dignitaries They can't tackle issues in NL without abusing & causing each other or Their tribe, is that the kind of people you take seriously? Or can unite this Nation if the get a chance? Look at the ENDSARS..... I understand the burning of police station, they were angry. Looting of palliative is OK, it was meant to be shared but looting private citizens like you and Bank? I mean was ENDSARS a pretends.

This country need reorientation and factory reset.

missdivineprove:
Maybe its because most people believed marriage ought to be stressful/difficult on the man side, so that he can value the woman.

and how far has such mentality help the woman & the marriage? How many times do we need to learn the same lesson?

lets just say we have Africanize Suffering & greed, do u know what i have been tru? do u know how i suffer to get this or that......to us Africa, suffering seems more like a badge of honor so when we are in position of Authority instead of seeing it as an opportunity to make things less challenging we see it as an avenue to make it more difficult we the lame excuss that u have seen worse....is shamefull. So having two traditional wedding & giving it different name is not something we adopt. Is slavery mentality & we need factory reset

tgmservice:
he is trying to safe your life but blockheads lik u still end up dead

If he is really interested in saving lives how about he start using tax payers money for something sensiblel other than status building. What's the price of food now? Just because a politician is using free media (paid for by the suffering masses) at his disposal to say something worth listening to doesn't mean he actually cares about the people.

buygala:
If one can't stand the heat, then he should stay away from the kitchen


Or is playing soccer the only means of sustenance in Nigeria? ....Resign and go join the Nigerian Army as a recruit and get sent to face Boko Haram bullets for a paltry stipend of basically 48k .....

Whether they get paid or not, playing in those teams gives those players the much needed exposure to other more developed and better paying teams in the world... No real soccer gem stays long in the gutter that's the present NFL because foreign teams are snapping them up speedily


Be exceptional, and exceptional blessing will find you

with this kind of thinking do you still wonder why this country is a mess?. Just for a second imagine if every football club or country have this same thinking, do u think we will come here to debate about pep & Mourinho or Chelsea vs Arsenal?

We are our own problem.......not the Government.

LesbianBoy:
Man United didn't back him like city backed guardiola. Remember he wanted to buy perisic a winger but man united to drop money

how about Chelsea? Did chelsea Bord back him even after winning League, not to mention players that were sold for two seasons. Mourinho's problem is that he has refuse to adapt, under two season Conte has alter the way chelsea play can you say the same about Mourinho?

alBHAGDADI:
She is right with her statement. But is she willing to do that? Will her Quran allow her do that? Doing such is going against Allah's commandment that says you are to do the exact same evil that has been done to you.

In her post, she preached love to those who hurt you and caused you pain. Is that what Allah told Muslims to do?

Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain

you and our so called Pastors that the Bible has allowed to do.......have they done it?

onuhabel1:
that's right!
Anyone that struggles with the payment of tithes either does not know God or has not surrendered themselves totally to God

if an ordinary individual can use sweet mouth to defraud another individual & still get away how much more when an individuals use "God say". The eyes can only see what the mind is prepared to receive. So if u want to wait till gray hair before u see what's in front of u, please by all means

one thing is to Understand the Bible another thing is understanding the context of a particular scripture.

Just curious, did the pastor say something new to u or he just confirm what u have already accepted?

dingbang:
I dey tell you.. Adesua is completely totally madly in love with him... Na why banky change mind do elaborate wedding

isn't it interesting how we use social Media as a parameter for "madly in love"?

generaliy:
Gullible sheep?

You need to calm down and seek God yourself, I won't argue with you.

Edited: I wonder why y'all are tagging this post to tithing as if that's the only thing freeze has condemned the church on, I can see lots of unbelievers jumping on a post that seeks to address issues affecting Christianity, it's not surprising because it's an age where attacks against the church has been made popular.

The attacks on this post however does not stop the lessons from being learnt by those primarily concerned, the church.

The Church is built already, a million gates of hell can NEVER prevail against it!

bros, change this your Heading is very myopic & misleading how does Daddy Freeze the problem of Nigerian Christianity? For expressing his opinion on what he Observed? Which he is entitle to, you said it yourself "The church has departed from systematic study of the scriptures" so how is Freeze the problem? Read your Write up again. Look around you bro, do you (including yourself) see Christians? Or bunch of individuals going to "church" every sunday for the psychological satisfaction of calling themselves Christians. When last do u hear testimonies like , Praise God i used to have anger problem, Selfishness, Greed God has save me.....when last, did u see the complete fruits of the holy spirit in action. These are just the primary aspect of christianity.

Well, it's write up like yours which critizise those who bear out their true feelings about some aspect of christianity that is the real problem of Nigerian Christianity

[quote author=wth28 post=62408796]I am not disputing those facts you listed but people saying he stole tithe and offering to enrich himself is totally wrong and that is what i am trying to correct.[/quote

and u are making this correction as the church financial secretary, Treasurer or His Book management Team? Just curious

Women and their Dubious ways of insulting u, the 6hrs, is it with pre-intimacy or without? while she is enjoying the process how can she be time keeper, beside since when did we Africans become time Keepers if not When we have ulterior Motive?

The Fact is that her Hubby is Jobless, she is working & she is not confortable giving pussy to a Jobless man irrespective of that Beautiful Title "Husband". Talk about the matter & Stop the exaggeration, 6hrs make sense if u add a Jobless man. How many do prostitute have a day.

Abeg shift make i pass

Just to understand, person go log in Nairaland, out of 100 topics 90% is about sex, 5% is pre-wedding pics & the other 5? I have no idea. An Institution people keep reducing it to be about sex. So when u pay Bride price what u are essentially paying for is the Hole? Not her Brain or her Home Management skill? And u are wondering why divorce is on the Rise.

i'm yet to meet a lady with no hole but i have met ladies with no brain. In the world of Technologies, invention & new idea all we discuss from Monday to Sunday is Dick & Pussy.

The funny part of this is that we still ask our fake pastors to tell us why we are were we are. Africa need Factory Reset

misterawo:
Same old sh#it of "hope for the black race" is getting boring. Frankly. . .

Thank you bro, honestly is realy borring, i wanted to ignore this Lamentation but u got my attention. Same old soup but just different hand.
Aren't we tired? Black race always blaming the white for their shortcomming, greed & inadequacy.

What is funny is that even when white were actively exploiting us, they gave us quality structure & quality education:Chinua Achebe Generation which is known as the Lucky Generation.

Now that we claim to be incharge of our affairs please what can we boast off? The bitter truth is that even when we work so hard to paint them as the devil we are depends on them for almost everything, we sent our children over there to learn & you say they are bad abeg what do u what ur children to learn? With our land & other resources we are still importing almost everything from them. To top it, all this is comming from Our Leaders who will sell the right of 3generation just for a cup of coffee in that white man land.

The only good thing that came out of African Nation is Nelson Mandela, in Music is Fela, Lucky Dube and few others the rest are just self-serving Narcissist.... Somewhere in Africa a man Rule his Country for 37years still counting, yet He still Travel Outside for his Medical Care, please what does that say about us?
Yesterday it was Asari, Then Ateke, just dangle a white man cup of coffee infront of us & we will sell this Nation for it, that is how cheap we are. now we hear another one on a white man cheap drugs just a sound of Knock out, him don run. This is who we called Leader? Mandela must be weeping in the grave, atleat Ojuku had a plan, he was organise gather Brillian minds of that time(including Chinua Achebe) to believed in his Struggle, he has a plan & the heart, abeg What does this one have? if not mouth. It is only the Rat in the house that tell the rat in the bush that there is Food in the house.

Even our so call Church Leaders are exploiting us with our chicken heart

We need another Mandela but i'm afraid we may never get it with the generation that see Sex as an achievement especally if you win her through cat fish.

Enugupikin:

alexistaiwo:
Am I first to comment?
Anyways
Rip to the dead.
How I wish the plane was carrying our corrupt politicians.

even if it does, the Plane will end up replacing Devil advocate with the Devil himself. Nigeria ran out of Good citizens since 1970

juman:
nigerians are good people, what we lack is sensible leaders.

APC is a curse.

if Nigerians are Good people where does Bad Leaders come from?
If the citizens are realy sensible where does insensible leaders come from?

Johncuppa:
2 Cor. 8:9
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
2 Cor.9:11
11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God

Though am tempted to coment on these verses but i prefer to learnt from your own explanation... So please

Johncuppa:
God bless you.
This has been my sleepless thought all the while.
I was in a Sunday school preparatory class where being rich was discouraged and the same set of people will lead the prayer against poverty for themselves and church members.
I don't just understand. I wish I could address the whole church and differentiate between "the love of money" and "being rich or wealthy" with scriptural references.
The fact that some are misusing money does not mean we should endorse poverty. Tired!

bros abeg take a moment and lets think, why do you think Jesus said in mark 10:25, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God" why will christ choose to use such metaphore? Also remember the rich man that ask Jesus what will i do to enter the kingdom of God, Jesus told him, go help the needy, help the ophans & widow, he reply that he has done all that, Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go,
sell your possessions and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven. Then come,
follow me."...he couldn't do that. Why? That tell you the level of attachent that money brings.

That is why when Paul wrote to the philipian when material wealth was like bringing problem to the church he told them. I know what is like to be hungry, i know what is like to be wellfeed, i know what is like to have needs i know what is like to have all my needs met, i know what is like to be poor i know what is like to be rich but i have learnt that i can do all things true christ who Strenthens me.

To be hungry & to eat is by Gods grace cus u may be hungry & eat all the food in the world yet can't be satisfy without Christ.

God said if no one will serve him he will raise stone to worship...is it the same God that will not be about to meet the need of the church? Leave human selfishness & greed, remember God said i will provide all your need not all your want.

Money is not bad but the level of attachement it brings is the problem
