Foreign Affairs / Re: Same-Sex Couples Can Now Opt For Surrogacy In Israel by Pristane: 1:07pm On Jan 05, 2022
You are right, sir, Mr. Righteousness. Don't expect any uncircumcised individual on the internet to support you. Their support is empty and carry no weight. Such individual actually needs help; some knows and some refuse to agree with their situations that need God.

The happening in Israel is not strange. They are a lineage of Jezebel, Belial and Jeroboam.

Remember the word of God

Rom.1.27 - And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.

Rom.1.28 - When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.

Rom.1.29 - Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.

Rom.1.30 - They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents.

Rom.1.31 - They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.

Rom.1.32 - They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

It has been in Israel for a long time. The mixed Cannanite among them will always bring pollution.

Righteousness2:
These are of sons and Daughters of Belai in Israel.
The Sons and Daughters of Perdition in Israel.
The Generation of the likes of Jeroboam, Jezebel, Ahab and others who caused the wrath of GOD to Destroy the people

GOD is not a respecter of Persons, these Evil, abominable and Wicked ones will taste the Wrath of GOD.
Education / Re: She Was Expelled After Confessing Of Using Fake O'level Result by Pristane: 10:07am On Nov 03, 2021
Righteousness2:
There is nothing wrong with the Decision to Expel her.

It is Better to be Punished and Expelled from school here on Earth than to Expelled from Heaven.

Your Degree and Earthly accomplishments will not give you access to Eternal life.

Making Peace with GOD ALMIGHTY is the Ultimate. That is what gives access to Eternal life.

Thank you, sir, for always saying the truth.

The way of the cross is foolishness to them that are perishing, but life to them that are saved.

What benefit do you have if your life is built on falsehood? Nothing. Except secret shame, fear and suffering, yet the devil will keep making you to smile outside and deceive others.

What she did is the right thing. She can't keep building her life on "fake" foundation. God will not change fake to original. He is not a magician. He will remove the fake, old and give you original, new.

If you are still living your life on falsehood, no matter how far you think you have gone, you haven't gone too far. Repent today. Hell is the only Tooooo faaar.

Jesus loves you and His arms are wide open waiting for you to stop and return to Him.

Politics / Re: Elumelu Demands Pantami’s Resignation, Gbajabiamila Blocks Motion by Pristane: 2:47pm On Apr 21, 2021
I am concerned with your words that you are a Christian. You didn't sound like one. What you wrote is terribly biased. Is it only Christian that is asking for his resignation? Even if it is, is it not also right for people from other religion allow proper check on what could become national security if found to be true? If the story is just the past issue and that he had repented then we let him be.

Are you saying President Buhari is a perfect man who could not have employed him in error?


Everybody has past, yes. Let the right people do the necessary investigation on Pantami, if he is found wanting let him go and if he is clean let him stay. Don't just discard the complain of the public. If we continue with this bias attitude Nigeria will never grow.


But we all know that many Nigerian are selfish and self centered. When an issue is affecting the public and one Nigerian alone is benefitting from the issue, he or she won't like investigation and truth. Such will not want it to be checked.



GOTVee:
sad As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, I'm ashamed of the level of hypocrisy displayed by we southerners especially we Christians in this incessant calls for Pantami's resignation. What has pantami done wrong for God's sake? How many of us don't have some misdeeds in the past? Why can't we practice the teachings of our lord Jesus christ who admonished us to love our neighbors as ourselves? When Nnamdi Kanu formed IPOB that later metamorphosed into a terrorist group we southerners were supporting him. Kanu was tried and convicted and became a fugitive yet we kept supporting him. Pantami has never been convicted nor tried in any court yet we are calling for his head. Are we not meant to be our brothers keeper? What proof do we Christians have to call him an extremist just because he mandated us to register for NIN. Why this sudden media trial and blackmail? Why can't we emulate northerners who always stand by themselves no matter what? Are we not ashamed that our country's name is been dragged in the mud by this baseless accusations? Pantami is going no where. We have terrible people amongst we Christians too but we shield them rather than call them out. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a Christian. Honestly sad
Career / Re: Lecturing In State University Vs Federal Polytechnic by Pristane: 4:43pm On Mar 07, 2021
ejimatic:
. Your choice and interest will determine what you will take.However let me say this as a guide too.1 Federal institutions are better than state institutions 2 Federal institutions pay better than state schools 3. Salary packages of the federal polys are almost the same with federal universities or one is slightly more than the other.That is why many lecturers don't want to leave polytechnics even if they are PhD holders. 4 Federal polys salary is more than that of a state university. 5 If you are a professor in a federal university your salary is a little different from that of a Chief Lecturer in a polytechnic owned by the federal government. 6 The enjoyment in federal polytechnics is more than even in a federal university in some areas.7 Do not be deceived by the title Professor there is nothing in it .What have many professors in Nigeria achieved apart from travelling out with TETFUND grants which federal polys have access to too? 8 In polytechnics you can go for your PhD and get more opportunities in many places including academics. 9 Nigeria today is about money not title 10 Think about comfort and satisfaction in your life which goes beyond academic titles any where. 11 Finally if you don't want any regret in your life run away from any state institution even university. From a federal polytechnic you can still go to a federal university if it is your dream to be a professor. 12 May God bless any decision you take on this matter.

It appears MONEY is the only reason for this write-up which is very misleading. I left a Private University that's pays 25% above federal to a State. Let me tell you in clear term that there is no difference between State and Federal University salary. We use the same salary scale.

How can you be a serious lecturer, academician and researchers be comparing State University with Federal Polytechnic. That it is a Federal polytechnic do not give it any ground of comparison. Not all people will work I State University and not all we work in Federal polytechnic.

Qualifications, vision, and capacity will seriously determine your choice. What money are you talking about in Federal Polytechnic. Is it salary you are calling money.? Sorry.

Many State University lecturer are enjoying more than the Federal. Some of the Governor's behavior is not a reason to start think state University is less. Depending on your field there are opportunities of travelling, collaboration, grant that you can ever enjoy in the polytechnic. Couple with the fact that only few lecturers in polytechnic are motivated to do research and improve themselves academically and this keeps them behind. If you leave Polytechnic today as a Chief Lecturer, the highest position you will get in the university where politics or bribery is not involve is Senior Lecturer and that is even if you have PhD otherwise you will be place in Lecturer I.

Someone says that there's nothing in being a Professor. That is a very poor knowledge of academic career. Prof is the peak of your carrier. As a serious researchers, you won't need any political appointment to have money because you already have more than what you can cope with in collaborations that brings real money.

The reasons why many Professor in Nigeria run after political office is because majority of them were accidental and political academician. It is so because our laboratories have nothing to write about because monies allocated for equipment were never used but shared and spent. I can seriously tell you that some of the government effort of equipping University were squandered and rendered those lab empty or with equipment that never works.

So, I don't see ground for comparing State University with Polytechnic at all.

Education / Re: Kwara CAN: Hijab Use Will Expose Christian Pupils To Terrorist Attacks by Pristane: 10:23am On Feb 27, 2021
SafexxUnlimited:


https://punchng.com/hijab-usell-expose-christian-pupils-to-terrorist-attacks-kwara-can/

The Hijab thing is not actually the drive of people behind this because Hijab makes no one holy or righteous before God, infact if you check majority of the people clamouring for hijab, they don't really care much about God. Love of God is actually absent in their mind or heart.

The zeal and convetousness in many of these is like fire that never says it is enough or grave that can never be satisfied.

I am a Christian and want to tell my brothers and sisters, that whenever we abandon God to pursue our interest or start seeking help from unbelievers God's purpose will be hindered. Why was the school released to the Government in the first place? Why? Was it because God can no longer provide for the church need then? Many churches today still run around giving envelope to unbelievers to support God's work. Which God's work. Many steal Government properties and money to do God's work. Which God's work? Our unrighteousness can never bring or work righteousness.

In other religions, lies is never a problem for them in as much it favours them and their religion. It is a good lie. And many church goers today are also following suits.

Here God speaks:

Rev.21.8 - But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars-[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]-their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."


Some muslims are used to taking control of what is not there own and not because they want to make it great no. Just to dominate. Go to University of Ilorin and all their secondary schools that are public school to confirm what I am saying. Infact they want to instill some religious rule over Christian owned private schools but many stood their ground despite many persecution from top offices in the state.

So as a Christian Kwaran, we will continue to pray not against Muslim because they are our brother but for them to see and experience genuine God's love. We also pray for our church goers Christian in authority who has sold the birth right because of a plate of porridge. They are so many. They do not have any stand. They stands for nothing but their stomach. They are the type the other religions commonly used to get at Christian. God in His mercy will expose them and remove them from those positions if they refused to repent. We will also continue to pray and act towards the unity of the church.

If you are a Muslim or unbeliever reading this article, I love you. Real and true Christian loves you because our Master Lord Jesus Christ loves you and die for you, either you believe it or not, agreed or not. For Bible says When we are yet sinners, Christ died for us ( all mankind not Only Christian). No man is a Christian indeed by birth. We only use it most time for classification of people that goes to church or bear Bible names. A Christian is actually someone that is like Jesus. And you can never be like Jesus Christ until you are sincerely born again ( renounce your sins, repent from them, accept Christ died for you and rose the third day, accept Him as your Lord and Personal saviour, and finally begin to follow Him without going back- the day you go back and stop following, you are on your own).

Please let seek God to help us love one another and make Nigeria great. Peace.
Politics / Re: Hijab Crisis: Kwara Is Muslim State, Take Your Mission Schools To Rivers - MURIC by Pristane: 10:46am On Feb 23, 2021
Tranquility4u:
The female Muslim students are the ones to wear the Hijab on their body, not their Christian schoolmates.

So why striping and denying them their fundamental and constitutional rights?

Afterall, Britain and the United States of America and many other countries more developed than this nation, allow the use of Hijab in their schools.

But the Christian extremists want to control even the way Muslims dress, so that Muslim students will be half-naked like them.

That will never happen!

Enough is enough!


You guys can never understand. No matter how one explain to you because your DOMINEERING spirit, HYPOCRISY and INSECURED MIND will not let you.

Were you forced to come to that school. Mission school is basically meant to propagate the gospel of Christ and as well offer developmental assistance in term of education. You Muslim knows this very well but until some of you cause trouble, you are not always at rest. stop it, please

Get it clear in your mind. We Christian don't have any outward appearance as a symbol of being a Christian. It is simply moderate and morally right dressing. If your inside is right with God, your outside will reflect not by the type of cloth but by not exposing your body to tempt others. My wife and children dressed modestly i.e not exposing their breasts, thighs or any parts that could lead to lust or temptation.

So the issue of allowing Hijab should please be limited to Muslim schools. There are many Government sponsored Muslim schools. Stay there and stop causing unrest.

".

She has equal right with her husband except that courtesy demands she allows her husband to do it.

Many of us don't know the meaning of marriage, and that is why many of the problems like this emanate from. We always think it is our culture and tradition that institute marriage or it is man's idea. NO.

God instituted marriage right before any culture or tradition arrives in the garden of Eden.

Gen.2.24 - Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

So any attempt to handle in man's way will always bring confusion, troubles and pain. Take it or leave it. If you know, you know.

Sir, I am close to 40years, and since I was 14 years I have been hearing Fulanis/Bororo herdsmen attacking people's farm. In our farm in the 90s, you don't stay in farm till evening, the herdsman may attack you.

Today in the 20s it has become like a wild fire. I couldn't go to my cocoa farm in Osun State because of this kidnapping as well which has been traced to them. Though I believe they can't be the i only one in that regard. The farm is dead now.

Many of us cannot plant crops because of fear of having cow to destroy them.

chatinent:
We as Jehovah’s Witnesses adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. This article summarizes our basic beliefs.
.
1. God. We worship the one true and Almighty God, the Creator 'who has a name', and whose name is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:​ 11) He is the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.​—Exodus 3:6; 32:11; John 20:17.
.
2. Bible. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired message to humans. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:​16) We base our beliefs on all 66 of its books, which include both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament.” Professor Jason D. BeDuhn aptly described it when he wrote that Jehovah’s Witnesses built “their system of belief and practice from the raw material of the Bible without predetermining what was to be found there.” * While we accept the entire Bible, we are not fundamentalists. We recognize that parts of the Bible are written in figurative or symbolic language and are not to be understood literally.​ —Revelation 1:1.
.
3. Jesus. We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:​31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26) However, we have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.​—John 14:28.
.
4. The Kingdom of God. This is a real government in heaven, not a condition in the hearts of Christians. It will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. (Daniel 2:​44; Matthew 6:​9, 10) It will take these actions soon, for Bible prophecy indicates that we are living in “ the last days.”​—2 Timothy 3:​1-5; Matthew 24:​3-​14. Jesus is the King of God’s Kingdom in heaven. He began ruling in 1914.​—Revelation 11:15.
.
5. Salvation. Deliverance from sin and death is possible through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 4:​12) To benefit from that sacrifice, people must not only exercise faith in Jesus but also change their course of life and get baptized. (Matthew 28:19, 20; John 3:​16; Acts 3:​19, 20) A person’s works prove that his faith is alive. (James 2:​24, 26) However, salvation cannot be earned​—it comes through “the undeserved kindness of God.”​—Galatians 2:​16, 21.
.
6. Heaven. Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the faithful angels reside in the spirit realm. * (Psalm 103:19-​21; Acts 7:​55) A relatively small number of people​—144,000​—will be resurrected to life in heaven to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom.​—Daniel 7:​27; 2 Timothy 2:​12; Revelation 5:​9, 10; 14:​1, 3.
.
7. Earth. God created the earth to be mankind’s eternal home. (Psalm 104:5; 115:16; Ecclesiastes 1:4) God will bless obedient people with perfect health and everlasting life in an earthly paradise. Of course, it was his original purpose while creating man.​—Psalm 37:11, 34.
.
8. Evil and suffering. These began when one of God’s angels rebelled. (John 8:​44) This angel, who after his rebellion was called “Satan” and “Devil,” persuaded the first human couple to join him, and the consequences have been disastrous for their descendants. ( Genesis 3:​1-6; Romans 5:​12) In order to settle the moral issues raised by Satan, God has 'allowed' evil and suffering, but He will not permit them to continue forever.
.
9. Death. People who die pass out of existence. (Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:​5, 10) They do not suffer in a fiery hell of torment. God will bring billions back from death by means of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15) However, those who refuse to learn God’s ways after being raised to life will be destroyed forever with no hope of a resurrection.​— Revelation 20:14, 15.
.
10. Family. We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the only valid basis for divorce. (Matthew 19:​4-9) We are convinced that the wisdom found in the Bible helps families to succeed.​—Ephesians 5:22–​6:1.
.
11. Our worship. We do not venerate the cross or any other images. (Deuteronomy 4:​15-​19; 1 John 5:​21) Key aspects of our worship include the following: Praying to God.​—Philippians 4:6. Reading and studying the Bible.​—Psalm 1:​1-3. Meditating on what we learn from the Bible.​—Psalm 77:12. Meeting together to pray, study the Bible, sing, express our faith, and encourage fellow Witnesses and others.​— Colossians 3:​16; Hebrews 10:23-​25. Preaching the “good news of the Kingdom.”​—Matthew 24:14. Helping those in need.​—James 2:​14-​17. Constructing and maintaining Kingdom Halls and other facilities used to further our worldwide Bible educational work.​— Psalm 127:1. Sharing in disaster relief.​—Acts 11:27-​30.
.
12. Our organization. We are organized into congregations, each of which is overseen by a body of elders. However, the elders do not form a clergy class, and they are unsalaried. (Matthew 10:8; 23:cool We do not practice tithing, and no collections are ever taken at our meetings. (2 Corinthians 9:7) All our activities are supported by anonymous donations. The Governing Body, a small group of mature Christians who serve at our world headquarters, provides direction for Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.​— Matthew 24:45.
.

You have sincerely listed your believes like many other churches we have today. Many of which their doctrines, teaching and practices are different from the early church as enumerated in Acts of the Apostles.

Let me also state that God will not assess you now and during judgement base on group belief, church belief, amily belief etc but as individual. Your believe and your way of life.

So please when you read and consume general saying, go to your secret place in prayer for God to reveal himself to you. Mind you, do not always go before God with pre-thoughts, pre-knowledge or past experience. Seek Him with open mind.

This my personal understanding.

Yes, God is Jehovah different from Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. Please I am not trying to prove Trinity. I can't proof anything than what I know and have experienced and not what someone told me to believe.

I have never seen God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit before but I have experienced them.

One I believe God created the universe.
Jesus Christ sacrifice Himself for my sin.
Holy Spirit leads, convince, and convict me daily in my heart with the knowledge of the word of God only.

When I get to heaven, I will ask God about other believes such as Trinity.

Let us check Bible very well both the version of Jehovah witness and Christian.

Almost all the pages of the Bible spoke about salvation right from the fall of man in the garden of Eden in Genesis to Revelation. Please read it with open mind asking God to illuminate your mind.

That Salvation came through JESUS CHRIST.

Rom.5.6 - When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.

Rom.5.7 - Now, no one is likely to die for a good person, though someone might be willing to die for a person who is especially good.

Rom.5.8 - But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Rom.5.9 - And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's judgment.

Rom.5.10 - For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by his life.

God Chose Him (Jesus Christ for this purpose). The main reason why He was not born the natural way of sex. He is not just any man. There's no man like Him. It is for a purpose. My salvation.

God personally approves Him. Jesus also confirms it personally.

So when you are claiming you love Jehovah God and be little His provision for you. You make God's provision of Jesus Christ as a part of your source of salvation and deliverance. No. Jesus is not a part. He is a whole, complete and total. You can't add any other thing to Him.

This is like neglecting President's minister or ambassador and claim to respect, love and serving the President. A right President will not give you any audience because you have not respect him through his minister.

Jesus is the real Matter. If you miss Him, you missed Jehovah.

Check Jehovah or God's verdict on Him below.

Matt.3.17 - And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matt.17.5 - But even as he said it, a bright cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with him. Listen to him."

Mark.1.11 - And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Luke.3.22 - And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Jehovah or God says LISTEN TO JESUS CHRIST.


See Jesus Verdict below

John.14.6 - Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

John.14.7 - If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. From now on you know him and have seen him!"

John.14.9 - Jesus replied, "Philip, don't you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him?

John.14.10 - Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.

John.14.12 - "The truth is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.

Jesus says you cannot get to Jehovah or God except through Him. Jehovah says Listen to Him. You better listen now and seek God sincerely in Christ only way.

See Peter's Testimony. The first disciple and the most senior Apostle of Jesus.

2Pet.1.17 - For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

No church today knows better than Peter.

Jesus loves you all. Let us release ourself to Him and enjoy the total and complete provisions of God Jehovah for us.

Shalom

Education / Re: Matawalle Donates N100m To JIBWIS For Construction Of Islamic University by Pristane: 4:19pm On Jul 17, 2020
The honest truth is that if University depends on Tax payer money as reflected here, such University can never be sustained. Why? Some will be reasonable tomorrow and stop this poor attitude of using Tax payer money to finance a private project. And when that stops, even to pay salary let alone installing facilities will be difficult.

Running University is not cheap. You must have a very strong financial backup not that type of donation.

Count your cost.....
