Christianity Etc › Re: Child Water Baptism: Is It Right Or Wrong? by Zionmdde:
immortalcrown:
In Pentecostal churches, baptism qualifies one to start receiving the holy communion. But in Catholic, baptism does not qualify one to start receiving the holy communion. This is why the arguement often takes place.

Baptism is a ritual performed to cleanse original sin and demonstrate Christian identity. Baptizing an infant is a way that parents give the baby Christian identity. The parents, by doing so, are saying, "We are laying a Christian foundation for our baby".

What makes the difference is confirmation which is done by only those who have become cognisant enough to differentiate sin from good and have promised to abstain from sin. Only the confirmed members of the Catholic Church receive the holy communion. It is called confirmation because the person does it to show that he or she has examined, understood and chosen the Christian foundation laid for him or her. The person by doing so is saying "I have confirmed that the Christian foundation laid for me or I laid for myself is right for me and I am dedicated to it".

Let me use something non-spiritual to explain it further. A medical or nursing student starts wearing a white clothe. The white clothe does not make the student a qualified nurse or doctor. It only shows that the student has chosen the profession and is willing to develop himself or herself in that field. The student is using the clothe to say, "This is who I want to be". This illustrates baptism. Graduation is what will make the student a qualified nurse or doctor. The graduation can be used to illustrate the purpose of confirmation in the Catholic Church.

In the Catholic Church, members who become adults before getting baptised may not go through a separate formation for confirmation before receiving the holy communion. They can receive the holy communion the same day they get baptised. This is similar to Pentecostal members who start receiving communion immediately after being baptised because they had become old enough to differentiate sin from good before they went for the baptism. Members of the Catholic Church who did infant baptism are the ones that must go through confirmation when they become adults before they start receiving the holy communion. Biblically, there is no contradiction between the way the Catholic does it and the way the Pentecostal Churches do it. It is human sentiment that created the arguement.
What is you described is not baptism, baptism signifies death to sin, burial and resurrection in Christ. That's why you immerse the person in water (death) and raise him up (resurrection)

Now that process can only be valid with Roman's 10:9
And a baby cannot believe in Jesus nor confess his Lordship and therefore not qualified for salvation
Politics › Re: Price Of Rice From 2015 - 2025 by Zionmdde: 10:29am On Dec 21, 2025
Ttalk:
Price of rice was above 60k in 2023 when Tinubu became president, today the average price is 50k, you can even get quality foreign rice in some part of Lagos at 47k but you are here painting a different picture.

If your idea is for Nigerians to suffer so people can consider your Peter Obi, I assure you that God will reject it
What brand of rice is 50k? That's not a tough question is it?

But tinubu has repeatedly mentioned Nigerians are suffering and are in pains because of his policies. So do we believe tinubu or do we believe his asslickers?

Point of correction, I owe no loyalty to any politician and am not very passionate about who becomes the president, I guess that's the difference between and you tinubu worshippers

Oops! It’s no longer about the average price of rice that ordinary Nigerians can afford but about Mango, Apple, and Pineapple rice, right? Dude, just listen to yourself. Must you be sad over everything?

A bag of rice was N50 averagely in 2023 when Tinubu took over. Minimum wage was N30,000 at that time. Today, a bag of rice is averagely N55k irrespective of Mango, Apple and Peanut rice despite minimum wage going up to N70,000. You should commend the government and not be sad. Stop getting sad over positive news, it won’t make Peter Obi president in 2027.
Answer the first question, what brand of rice is 55k?

So according to you standard of living is better today than when tinubu took over?
But the tinubu in his speeches acknowledges thar Nigerians are going through pains and hard times because of his policies.
So who should we believe, tinubu or his asslickers.

Point of correction, am not very passionate about who is the president, and not loyal to any politician the way you guys asslick your political gods
Romance › Re: Guys, Can You Marry A Lady Who Lives Alone? If Yes, Why? If No, Why Not? by Zionmdde: 8:37am On Dec 21, 2025
essentialone:
Most ladies who live alone fall into 2 categories.

Either they turn their apartment into a hosting place for different random man who just want to have sex with them for a fee.

Or they go out every night to hustle for men at clubs and hotels and return at 5AM every day.
You have a long way to go on working on yourself, your perception and your mentality

Yes ,it's for people that feel it's all rosey over there.
You just have to do your thing and chase your dreams disregarding the obstacles that comes with it.
Also you can't compare tribalism to racism as a racist can go all length you can't imagine.
Oga its rather less painful to collect insults from a stranger than from your fellow country men

Nigerians should never complain about racism, when tribalism is the order of the day here. They just call you black monkey, some people call their fellow country men pigs and worse derogatory names

Except you’re buying at an expensive elite market, there is no N80k rice again. A bag of rice is generally at an average cost of N55k today.
And this is how they go about lying to defend rubbish
Which brand of rice is 55k? Big bull? Mango? Caprice? Mama africa? Which one exactly

Those saying things have come down are either ignorant or evil

Tinubu took rice to over 100k from 50k and now 85k. What exactly is the cumulative effect of his policy on food affordability?

nedekid:
Oga this has nothing to do with tribe or southerner doing it whereever, it has more to do with solidarity withing the drivers. For all you know if you go and check part of those lorries blocking the road may be driven by southerners. Just last week at Ore, police shot the tyre of a luxury bus for not paying bribe, the road was blocked, the police oga had to come there and pay for the replacement of the tyre before the road was opened, this was a South Eastern owned bus at Ore. I assure you same thing happens up north and drivers show comrade no matter where the driver is from. Abi do battery thieves, police doing extorting, area boys harassing, local government official extorting chose tribe or zone before they carry out nefarious acts against transporters?
And how many times have southerners done a thing like this in the north? Just be speaking long grammar

Sure that's loyalty speaking

Tinubu sure rides on the loyalty of agberos and cultists. You can hardly see a honest Person whose livelihood is not connected to politics supporting tinubu

Lest I forget, see the millions milked from hardworking lagosians who have to pay through their nose for transportation, thanks to this agbero and his activities

Bonny in rivers state is example of localized inflation

You are just ignorant

Economics as a subject should be made compulsory .... 50k would cause inflation and make the poor poorer

Many road are being constructed in bayelsa... Have you visited bayelsa?
Lol
The inflation part was a trap to know the level of your reasoning
I said bayelsa indigenes, not all Nigerians
Or will fuel prices rice in bayelsa only?

People like you that don't know much will rush and be yarning rubbish with the little they think they know

Oga, road construction in a 2m by 2m state is what you call project. Since you ve been there I guess you didn't see that roads cannot be constructed on a major fraction of the state, so what are they doing with allocations bigger than some.states that are triple their size??

And what would be the results of giving everyone 50k a month ? ... U no do economics?

Not defending bayelsa leaders but cost of doing any project in bayelsa is over 10 times higher because it's terrain
So which project has been done in the last 5 years?
Yes 50k will go a long way in helping the indigenes who are majorly struggling (I don't want to say poor)

Why did he collapse na
Bayelsa, small state, very high oil revenue and allocation
Absolutely nothing to show for it
Unless there is something we don't know, else all bayelsa indigenes cam be conveniently placed on at least 50k monthly salary

All their political leaders need more collapsing

They want sharia, but they don't want their own country where they can fully practice what they want.

They always use phrases like "provoke the Muslims to violence " as if they are the only ones that can run mad. You can never see them gather like this to condemn banditry and terrorism

If not because of the Judas we have in the south, we really have no business with these people. Everybody should go their own way and do what they like

You can't make your region insecure just to pressure government. The damage ipob and their breakaway criminal groups have done in the east can hardly be undone

I pray for one day east will be the safe haven it has always been known for
