Romance / Re: How do i Approach Girls Without Rejection? by zuluman(m): 8:30pm On Jun 29, 2007
@ luckynzo

Don't be scared of anything. Fear is not good. When you find a girl you like, just tell what's on your mind.

Are you a christian? here is a passage from the book of Proverbs 29:25

", The fear of man brings a snare, but as I lean on, trust in, and put my confidence in You, Lord, I am safe and set on high"

Don't be afraid.

Religion / Re: Can You Attend A Church Led By A Woman? by zuluman(m): 9:01pm On Jun 24, 2007
@ Poster,

Yes! I can attend a church which is lead by a woman.

Actually, the church I attend is led by a woman. The senior pastor of my church is a woman. There is nothing wrong in it. It is good to have personal communication with God, through the Holy Spirit, so that you wouldn't have to stick with "hard-fast" rules composed by people.
Romance / Re: She Loves Me But She's So Ugly by zuluman(m): 8:11pm On Jun 21, 2007
@ all people who insist on branding people as 'ugly'

You people should take it easy. All these words about people being ugly can lead some people to do crazy things, such as attempting to take their own life, It might seem funny to use some grammars to describe ugliness but God wouldn't take it lightly with you if you keep abusing what he has created.

There is a passage in the bible that says that you should ensure that all the words that proceed out of your mouth are good!

Look at the society today. You have so many young girls trying to be slim. Some become successful in trying to be slim and some just lose control of themselves, thereby developing anorexia - which is an eating disorder.
On the other hand, I have heard of a case whereby a young ambitious boy took his own life because he had been bullied for being too thin, In the UK, there was a news article highlighting what some young men do, They take steriods just to have big chests and muscles, Why is this occuring?,  sad

Nowadays people are abusing others, mentioning that they are ugly. So some people who are often abused, end up going for plastic surgery to adjust their facial features or other parts of their body.

Each person God created on earth, in their original form is beautiful.[color=#990000][/color]

To all you people that are branding people as being 'ugly', do you know that people are actually dying because of your cause. You people need to repent! The kingdom of God is at hand!

When everyone finishes their time on earth, everyone would stand before God and give account as to what we have all done during our life time. You wouldn't like to tell God that you spent most of your life mocking His creation.

I have a hint for everyone! , If you have nothing good to say, you can just keep quiet. The bible even mentions that a fool seems wise if he/she could shut his/her mouth.

We can all make this world a better place people, Let every word that comes out of our mouth be words that encourage people.

God bless you all .  wink

@ Joey82

If you call a person ugly, you are actually dissing God, because God said he created we human beings in the likeness of His image. So if you see the likeness of God's image and brand the person as ugly, that means you are indirectly branding God as ugly!

If you don't love her, God would provide a man that would love her.
Properties / Re: Real Estate: The Problem Of 'Omo Onile' by zuluman(m): 8:31pm On Jun 16, 2007
@ hbrednic

Of course God has other things to attend to, as well as renewing the so called 'omo oniles'. If we don't take the 'omo-onile' problem to God, who then shall we take it to?

Of course God created us with brains but we still need to pray to God for our brains to be used wisely, lest we fall to the temptations of the devil.

@ All

Pray that God renews the people you call 'omo-oniles'. Nothing is too difficult for God to do. Complaining cannot solve anything. I pray God renews them. Amen.

Where Is Saddam? Heaven Or Hell?
Heaven, hell or is he still alive?

Only God can judge him!

@ Seun
Heaven, of course. Mass murderers like King David and Joshua are always close to God's heart!

Religion / Re: Contradictions In The Bible by zuluman(m): 7:00pm On May 10, 2007
@ Rhea

The bible is not read like a poem. You don't isolate/extract quotes and make conclusions with them just like most warehouse pastors do. Read the whole quotation or better still the adjoining story in its fullness to understand where the author is coming from. Let me demonstrate with the first line of what you found. Quotes in red are from your thread.


God is satisfied with his works (Gen 1:31)

Gen 1:31: God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Gen 6:6 God is dissatisfied with his works

Gen 6:5-6 says: The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.

I could go on and on. Do not be misled by non-believers. The bible is as clear as the interpretation you give it.

Thank you for your comments. cool God bless you! People should know that the bible is different from any magazine. It is one thing to read the bible, and it is another thing entirely to understand the Words of the bible. Also, it is God that gives people the privilege to understand the Words in the bible.
Religion / Re: What Is Faith? by zuluman(m): 4:51pm On May 10, 2007
What is FAITH?

Can u decribe it
Faith = being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrew 11:1

and how do u put it to work?
When you ask God for something, have confidence that you would get what you have asked God for.


Hebrew 11:8
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going

Hebrew 11:8 is an example of faith exercised by Abraham.

I suggest you read the whole of Hebrew chapter 11.

God bless you.

@ nferyn

Believe that God would renew everyone and our World. Whatever hardship you or anyone is going through, believe that God would remove that hardship. Amen. I pray for God's glory to be revealed in your life. Amen.

Don't forget to tell me when God's glory is revealed in your life. I've heard many testimonies about people who don't believe in God because of one thing or the other, but God, through his mercy, revealed his glory on them and people began to testify to God's glory.

So nferyn, I'd be expecting your testimony too. grin

You mentioned earlier that you have read the bible, what prompted you to read the bible?

Why do you assume that something is wrong with me?
I'm not making assumptions on anyone. I was just asking questions.  wink

@ nferyn

Why did you stop believing in God's existence? Did someone do something bad to you? Or is it what you are seeing going on in the World today? Or is it any bad situation you are in?
Religion / Re: A Beautiful Analogy For Atheist by zuluman(m): 11:11am On May 10, 2007
OK, I have read the Bible completely (although it's been a while) and I have hardly ever read such a hermetic contradictory piece of literature. I'm really not into badly written fiction. What exactly do you plan to tutor?
Sadly, you don't seem to understand the bible yet. Remember I said that it is God that gives people the priviledge to UNDERSTAND his Word in the bible. I really don't blame you for doubting God's existence - Even Thomas (a disciple of Jesus Christ) doubted, but Jesus revealed himself in full. My prayer for you, is that God should reveal himself to you. Then you would be challenging anyone that says God doesn't exist, just like I am challenging you and praying for you. In the bible, it is mentioned that "it is not by power or by might, but by the spirit sayeth the Lord" Using your power to read the bible doesn't guarantee that you would understand the bible. When I say "power" here, I mean the power you have, relating to your ability to speak English or any other language fluently and your ability to understand a piece of information. You may be a graduate of Havard University or any other reputable institution BUT that doesn't give you the edge to understand God's Word. In the bible, it is mentioned that God's Word sounds like the word of a mad man to the children of perdition.


You mean all the babies and young children that suffer really are the choice of God? What a wicked character that God must be to make newborn babies suffer such horrible faiths.
In the bible, Genesis 25:23, Exodus 9:16, Romans 9:12-23, God said that he choses whom he would have mercy on. (For those of you with bible please refer to the bible). The text I bolded, should answer your question!


Obviously clay has got free will that enables it to choose another path in life as to avoid a horrible faith or hasn't it? But that would defeat your argument now, wouldn't it? Or maybe humans don't have any free will at all.
Can you tell me the other part in life that a clay has? I am not arguing with you. I am telling you the truth.


I'm going to decompose after the doctors have harvested all still useful organs from my body. Basically, I'm not going anywhere, as I, as an entity, will have ceased to exist.
Of course you are going somewhere, don't decieve yourself. I don't know which of the two you would end up. There is no free zone. You either end up in Heaven or Hell. What you need to do to get to Heaven is to believe in Jesus Christ. John 3:16.

Fear, the ultimate weapon in the apologetic's arsenal. Your mental abuse doesn't stick to us well grounded adults. Unfortunately, hardly anybody stops you people to strike fear in the hearts of the innocent children. If the same tactics were used for anything else but religious indoctrination, we would label it child abuse. Sadly enough few people see religious indoctrination for what it really is.
I'm happy you have no fear. I like people that do not fear anything BUT God (I pray you fear God). I'm not trying to scare you by describing hell. The description of Hell is a warning. Assume you have a child, and that child is walking towards a pit filled with snakes. What would you do? Would you keep quiet and let the child walk towards the pit and eventually fall into the pit BECAUSE you don't want to tell the child to stop walking in the path of total destruction.
Would you also keep quiet because, if you tell the child not to walk towards the pit, he/she may demand a reason, and because you don't want to "mentally abuse" the kid, you just remain silent, insisting that the kid doesnt need to know that the pit is filled with snakes. Of course, there are some anxious kids that if you don't tell them the consequences of their actions they may end up doing it.

Why do governments mention the consequences of committing murder? Why do they tell the world what they do to murderers. If you have a bank account, why does your bank tell you what they would do if you overdraw money than you have, from your bank account (You may be a comfortable billionaire, I don't know your status). Even if you are Bill Gates, If you open a bank account, some banks would still give you some documents showing what they would do, if you overdraw money. Why do you think banks mention this It is to warn you because they love you as their customer and they don't want you to suffer! You may as well campaign against this "mental abuse" that our banks are doing to us eh, You may as well campaign against governments for telling us about the punishment if we do certain things! Isn't that "mental abuse" according to what you have said. It is just a warning for those over anxious humans. Are you in the United Kingdom? In the United Kingdom, at car parks, there are notice boards which warns drivers about the consequences of not buying a parking permit! There may be some in Nigeria too.


Has anyone ever detected that famous hell? Any evidence for it's existence?
Those who have personal communication with God knows there is a Hell and Heaven. Pray for God to bless you with the Holy Spirit.


Would I even want to worship such an unpleasant, mysogenic, capricious and cruel character? Maybe you could, I definitely wouldn't
In the bible, God hardened pharaoh's heart so that he wouldn't listen to what Moses was saying. At the end pharaoh perished. And Yes it was God that hardened pharaoh's heart!


Can you explain to me the concept of sin? I just don't understand
Sin = Not believing in Jesus Christ.
Religion / Theologists, Pastors & Apostles Of Christ by zuluman(m): 3:42pm On May 09, 2007
Apostles of Christ,

We all have much work to do. We have to make sure that our brothers and sisters in Christ do not lose their faith in Christ. I have been reading some threads on this forum which I found some disturbing in the sense that some people who used to believe in God claim not to believe in God anymore. One of such person is Seun - the owner of this forum. Everyone should pray to God to reveal himself and his glory to the lives of such people, so that they would testify to the glory of our Lord.
Religion / Re: A Beautiful Analogy For Atheist by zuluman(m): 12:52pm On May 09, 2007
@ All who doubt the existence of God or assert that there is no God

First off, please read & UNDERSTAND the bible from the first page to the last page before you make conclusions. If you have read the bible completely, and you still assert that there is no God - then I am willing to help in explaining the bible to you so that you can UNDERSTAND that God truly exists and he is on the throne. Because I know from experience that some people need good tuition from a good tutor before they can understand - BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND it's only GOD that gives people the priviledge to understand his word in the bible.

Secondly, many people claim that there is no God because of the pains of this world, such as sickness, suicides etc,
BUT I want you to understand one thing I'm about to point out:
In the bible, Genesis 25:23, Exodus 9:16, Romans 9:12-23, God said that he choses whom he would have mercy on. (For those of you with bible please refer to the bible). It is just like the case of a potter who molds clay pots. The potter can CHOSE to make one clay pot to be very good and he can CHOSE to make another pot scrappy. The clay pot has no power to protest its design against its creator! That is the analogy for humans versus God. Likewise, we humans are like clay pots and God is like the potter! This analogy was pointed out by Malachi who is a prophet of God. This settles those who claim God's non-existence becuase of irregularites in life.

Thirdly, God has the power to destroy the body and the soul. All you that say God doesn't exist, when you have finished your time on earth, where do you think you are going? I would love to hear your reply please. You should really be scared o. After your time on earth where do you think you are going? Please ask yourself! Isn't it scary? You better believe in God. there is a heaven for those who believe in God and there is a hell for the children of perdition. Hell is not a place I would like anyone from this forum to be. Hell is nasty. In the book of Mark (New testament) it was mentioned that in hell, the fire never burns out and the worms there never die. Isn't that scary enough to make you believe in God? Please change your life by accepting God's existence and ask for forgiveness.

Finally, God is perfect! No arguments please. If you are questioning the perfection of God based on the fact that people are born with illness and all deformations then read my second paragraph. Also bear in mind that God also mentioned that he punishes the sins of people up until the 3rd and 4th generations of the actual sinner! God said that he is the "I am" - God choses whom to have mercy on. A person that choses to do something cannot be labelled as imperfect can they?

I know life may be crazy but God sees everything. If there is something you are going through, you can email me on stongzulu@yahoo.com, I would join you in prayer for a divine miracle in your life. God is able to do much more than you can ever ask for, please bear this in mind.

Say this prayer:

God, I have come to you today, please forgive me of my sins. Let your glory shine in my life. Amen.


God bless you.

@DJNiyi,

No I'm not an estate agent but interested in that field. I asked if you are an estate agent because I was reading your posts, the one mentioning about the reason why estate agents don't post pictures of properties on the website. So I noticed that the reasons you listed were true. And I just thought you may be an estate agent, for having such knowledge.

Romance / Re: Would You Marry A Househelp? by zuluman(m): 9:14pm On May 08, 2007
@ Poster,

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong in marrying a "househelp". The "househelp" is a person, who worked as a househelp so there is nothing wrong. You may need to re-structure your sentence and ask if your friend could marry a person who is an employee. Please encourage your friend to carry on with the marriage. A househelp is also an employee. In Nigeria people view some certain words as abominable. In london, some nigerians are doing househelp jobs and they are even happy that they have such a job. So tell your friend to go ahead.
