@evaberry easier said to walk away. Men are humans with blood running thru their veins and can get physical when pushed to the wall. They are known to have ego. Woe betide the person who tries to tarnish that image. Bottom line, it only takes the grace of God.

Your sincerity is one in a million.

CzarChris:
I have a few simple questions.

When studying Christian eschatology, somethings just doesn't add up and I just need clarification from those in the know.

1)When you talk about "rapture" where Christians are taken up for the marriage supper of the lamb, will they be brought down again for the millennium reign and taken up again after the millennium reign for judgment? How many times would they be taken up and down?


ANSWER TO QUESTION 1
The millennium reign of Christ on earth is the period where satan and death (the last enemy) will be dealt with. After that, the memories of this current world will be wiped off from everyone. The people that made it through will pioneer the new earth that is to come where subject like Satan, sin and death will not pop up. New world as we have in Genesis Chapter 1.



2)The 3 and half years of trial would it be before or after the rapture?



ANSWER TO QUESTION 2
Don't be surprised that there is no such period as 3and half years pre rapture and post rapture period! Daniel 9:24-27 was talking about lifetime of Jesus Christ and what he will achieve without any link with rapture or antichrist. Daniel's 70 years' prophecy has been fulfilled with the apostles confirming I.e witnessing the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ did not leave us to wonder about the event that is associated with rapture. Matt 24:29-30 disqualifies any post rapture theory. Notice in vs 29 Jesus told us what will happen IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION .... Rapture.... and at rapture, God will withdraw the world of His power that is maintaining and sustaining the earth from operation. The sun, the moon, the constellation will fail, the ground will faill and the supposed remnant of the earth will perish and that is the end.

That is why Jesus Christ referred us to the days of Noah in vs 37-38.... After Noah entered into the ark everyone left behind perished. So also in the day Lot ran out of Sodom and Gomorrah, every left over perished. That is the pertern and can not be changed. There can't be other chance after rapture.




3) Why do Christians talk about going to heaven, when the Bible specifically talked about a new heaven and a new earth, and the glory of the Lord coming to abide with men in the new earth. So why the going to heaven rapture stuff?

I have answered the 3rd question in the first answer.
Thanks.

micra no get craze for head reach lagos danfo

infact,lagos keke drivers sef get better craze pass micra drivers

Did you hear the news of what transpired between SARS operatives and Micra drivers around Felele junction and Olomi b/stop and Iwo Road on Thursday? Those SARS guys had to run away from them but not without one the lying critically I'll in the hospital.

Lagos has an active road laws with dire consequence for the offender but same cannot be said of Oyo state ant her Micra.

Ordinary walking down the road, Micra will unexpectedly park ryt infront of u. screaming ***Sango Sango Sango****

Na pesin go dey dodge Micra for pedestrian walk way.

Na wah for dem. ...

Sango (Iyana poly / Total filling station) is most terrible of all places when it comes to reckless Micra drivers.

Micra is also a super tool (official car) in the hand of Police instead of patrol vans. you can verify this by mere standing in front of Iyaganku police station between 6:30am & 8.00am.

But all the same, Nigeria Government and Nigeria Army are grossly mismanaging this Ipob situation. we are in a wrong warfare and nobody wins in this kind of war.......

Corruption cuts across every sector in Nigeria. From the local government to the federal, to the private sector, to our religious organisations and all agencies! We need a re-orientation!

With this level of impunity, I'm losing hope gradually in this country. On several occasions I have tried to do things right but alleged of forming holier than thou'

Its not easy to survive in this country with right mentality.

I traveled out my state of residence to do a transaction on behalf of a client. Things went relatively well until I needed to take out an affidavit in court as one of the final stages of the transaction.

So I walked into this court, a federal high court, to do the affidavit. I had in mind that a day earlier , someone had told me in my office how she spent #4 000 to do an affidavit in court. I was furious . I know that only #100 of that #4 000 will go to government purse , the rest will go to some thieves who pose as government workers.

So I stepped into this court wishing that the thieves would try to play pranks on me. I file affidavit regularly in court but I have never experienced such extortion. May be it is because the court workers in my town of residence know me to be a lawyer. May be now that I am out of jurisdiction and dressed casually, the ones here will try to play a fast one on me. Just May be.

So In the court, I was directed to a certain lady. It Seems she is always the first contact person in this web of extortion. I entered the room. She asked me to sit. She was attending to someone, a captive I should say . The man was begging that he did not come with 4k, but the lady would have none of that. She asked the guy to go and come back complete. I was eavesdropping. The guy had just lost his certificate and wanted to make an affidavit to that effect. This is what is supposed to cost him N100. The guy even begged to pay N1000. But she refused. She insisted on the "full price".. In the end, the guy left to use Atm and come back. I was next in line!

I hold the belief that even if one should extort me, it should not be in court. The very thought of being extorted by a non- Lawyer in court is annoying to me. It is like a civilian slapping a Soldier in the barracks! If you must slap a soldier, must you do it in the barracks ?

So I took my turn in front of her. 'What do you want to do, sir? She asked.' Affidavit, of course, I replied. She asked what type of affidavit , bringing out a plain sheet of paper and pen, with an air of fake seriousness. She said she needed to know the type of affidavit because they will help me to type it.

At that point, I brought out a copy of the affidavit as typed by my secretary a day before I traveled. I told her that all I needed was to make the oath before a Commissioner for that purpose. Seems she was taken aback. Seems see didn't expect me to come with my affidavit already written and typed out. She excused me and left with the document. I guess she went to consult with her superiors.

She did not stay too long.

'sir, are you a Barrister'?
'Yes, does it matter'?
'I mean a real Barrister '?
Silence.
' sir are you based here in town '?
Silence.
' Sir'?

I think she wondered if I was really a lawyer as they have not seen me in their court before . May be her superior had suggested that I just claimed to be a lawyer in the affidavit just to evade their extortion.

I told her to go straight to the point. That I still needed to travel back. I told her to show me where to pay and get the oath Commissioner's stamp. At that point, she cut a piece of paper and wrote on it. She signed a complicated signature. She made the stealing to seem official. Unlike how she handled the guy before me, she didn't say a word about the amount I was to pay. She could not speak to me about it . She wrote it down and signed and then showed me where to take it to.

So I took it to whom I was directed. The man took the piece of paper from me and studied it as if it was a graph or some complicated map . Then,as if he had suddenly deciphered a hidden code, he said out loud : 'two thousand'. I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

After the Commissioner had put his stamp on the affidavit, I went straight back to the guy who took 2k from me and demanded a receipt. He looked lost when he saw me again.

He said they don't give receipts. I said its not possible for the federal government of Nigeria to take #2000 from me and not give any evidence of payment. He then said their receipt has finished. I told him to use his red pen and write 2000 on the affidavit. He Shrunk his shoulders, as if to say 'God forbid'.

I told him, Point blank, that he has trouble on his hands. That he should not think that I will leave without evidence of payment. That if he can not handle it he should bring in his superior. I threatened to go to the court Registrar if he continues to waste my time. It Seems the mention of the Registrar was frightening to him. He said to me 'please sit down' and stepped out, running.

He returned with a woman I presume is his unit head, a woman in her late forties by my estimation. She asked what was the problem. I told her there was no problem. That I am surprised the guy brought her. That all I want is receipt or some evidence of payment.

She said that their receipt has finished. She brought out a big book and said they enter all the payment entries made by everyone and at the end of the day, they issue one receipt!

Hear lie. One receipt to whom? She did not even seem like an intelligent thief to me. Seeing that her explanation meant nothing to me, she collected the affidavit from me and looked. The next thing I heard was :

'who typed it? Who asked you to type it?'
She said they will give me my money back and take 'their affidavit'. That I should go elsewhere and make the oath.

At this point, I lost my patience and temper. It became clear to me that I was dealing with an ignorant crook. Who told her that she had the power to stop me from doing the affidavit? Who told her that private affidavits must be typed by the Court. I mean she made it so clear with her actions that she is fantastically corrupt.

I stepped out of their office and headed to the Registrar's office. They started pleading. The guy who took the money started running helter skelter.

He took me to the office of another oga. The oga was polite. Cool office. He took the affidavit document from me and read. He screamed : 'did they not even read this thing to see that this man is a lawyer'? He stormed out and left me alone in the office.

It became clear to me that the oga was not necessarily angry at what they did. He was angry that they did it to a lawyer. He felt they were daft to do so to a lawyer. They should have done it only to other members of the public. They should have known that a lawyer is "bad market".

The oga returned with the woman and asked her to apologise for saying I should get my #2000 and go elsewhere to do the oath. She did. And I accepted the apology.

The oga thought that was all. He looked happy, as if everything has been settled. As if he had just resolved a conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. I brought him back to reality by saying that I am still waiting for receipt. You can't extort me and apologise and bid me farewell, without a refund.

At that point, he asked the lady to excuse us. As soon as the room had only Me and him, he removed the masquerade. He said :"BUT BARRISTER, YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS THING IS HUNDRED NAIRA. How do we give receipt for 2 thousand "?

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.

I walked out of the court feeling sorry for the country. I mean this is a court of law! A place you would expect to see the strictest adherence to probity. Yet people openly engage in extortion. Government charges #100 for something, but corrupt government workers make it #4000 (I believe I was charged #2000 cos I had mine typed already).

People no longer do subtle corruption in this country. Corruption is the norm. The make you look stupid if you don't join in. Every sector is involved, not just the political class. The civil service stinks.

Last week Tuesday, I went to get my renewed drivers licence. The lady who is employed to hand it over to me, after doing so, stretched out her open palm, as of right. I put #200 in her hand for "Your coke" , and she was not happy. All she did was to remove my licence and give to me and she did it within a minute. Yet she named her bribe. She wanted #2000!! She said she will come to get it in the car in case I don't have it on me. I asked if she will give me a receipt for it and her face dropped.

Next day, I went to another ministry where I made an application needing the Commissioner's approval. I found that the application had not even reached the Commissioner's table . They kept giving excuses. As I made to leave, one of them followed me to the car and asked if I have "seen" them. She said she is helping me by telling me that if I don't "cooperate", I would be coming and going for 3 months without my file moving to nowhere.

You would think she was talking of between 3k to 10 k, but she named their price in the region of 70 k before I could get the ministry's approval! She kept saying "we are many o" and that 40k out of the money is for their ogas.

As I reached the office, I met a client whose tenant locked out of her own compound. She had to take refuge elsewhere for days. I mean this tenant destroyed glass windows in the compound, threatened to kill the landlady and, you won’t believe this, used a security padlock to lock the house owner out of her compound!

I immediately put a call the the DPO within jurisdiction. In fact, I drove down to the Police station to see him. He assigned the case to an IPO and directed an immediate arrest of the tenant.

As I made to leave, the IPO met me outside and said that they needed to be mobilized. He said 'oga you know na'. He asked for the number of the complainant saying he needs to call her to get the direction to her compound.

I did not even get back to the office when the woman called to say the Police called her to come to the station with #10, 000.

That is, the life of a citizen is threatened. She is sent away from her own house for days. The windows in Her home are destroyed, including the tank and borehole in the compound.

And the Police want a N10, 000 bribe before they can take any action!

And someone wants me to believe that Nigeria is not fantastically corrupt.

No way!

This is an undercover operation sponsored by Nigeria Police.

I may be wrong but sometimes, police can be unimaginably and incredibly funny at unravelling mysteries surrounding some crime happening in our environment.

Thanks for this comment.

I think we should all speak up on this issue. We know it may be difficult for government to help, but through social media platforms we can make our request known through public enlightenment posts.

These people are robbing us blind by clearing off our unused data after some time.

Is it like that in more advanced countries?

Kingebukasblog he does it again!

Dalaman your case has been struck out already by your own hands.

If Christianity is faith based and you denounced it, how did you do this as well since you say you cannot provide empirical evidence? Is it also not via faith that you deny God or gods existence?

I need you to critically look at what I just wrote and tell me if I am wrong. Your very words show I am right because you rejected a faith based idea which you already assumed had no evidence yet you claimed God is a man made idea.

You are only digging the proverbial dagger deeper into your own heart with your own hands.

From prosecutor you became defence and now you have become a judge and jury.

Only you?

Ignore the swine and she will behave herself!

They are looking an unsuspecting person that will enter into the gutter with them just like satan their father always seeking whom to devour.

Just live them alone, God has lost hope on them already.

One confused one with the moniker catfishbilly while trying to defend his atheistic opinion on another thread had to quote from the Bible. He quoted from Mathew 7:6

"Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw pearls before swine ...."

I had to remind him that the swine there was actually referring to people like him (an atheist) and atheists do not run to the Bible for defence. Same thing they reject he ran to for assertion!

Hahahaha..... Hihihi.... Hahahaha.....

So atheist has a new nomenclature now.... The Swine.....

You really got me..... Laughing hard.

Atheists are simply ignoramus with limited mental capabilities.

They hate to be identified with God and find it difficult to live without HIM. Please do yourself a favour by steering clear from everything that has to do with God and His people.

Shameless set of deluded ignoramus.

Pigs delighted at seeing a sectional part of the SW region share part of their generational trademark of erosion.

I'm glad to inform you that the picture attached with the post does not reflect any portion of the SouthWestern region...I don't know why a media outlet can be so mischievous.

Fortunately,The Government is ready to combat this ugly and despicable issue of erosion..The call for FG intervention is an attestation to that.It's not even a full-blown erosion,It's PRONE...This is just a call for forestalling the occurrence.

Now,I expect these Pigs to wholly direct their focus at how to savage their erosion-ravaged land other than masturbate over an issue that will be resolved soon.

The topic said "areas PRONE to erosion" and some people are rejoicing. I wonder what grade they have in WAEC!

It helps us to wash our dirty linen outside.

You've manufactured the emboldened. Where did you get 'best' from? Looks more like a list of key cities in each countries .

You still don't get it.

Many people can not see logic in what they read.

140 best cities were selected and Lagos was ranked 139th which is not bad at all.

Therefore, Lagos is one of the best place to live on earth.

Simple logic.

A better governor than one president like that.
