i understand that the pope need to preach to convert them to Christianity, just like Paul did.
but the world has evolved beyond all that.
it was easy for Paul to take argument into the synagogue of the Jews in those days because, in his days he was among the privileged few educated men.
but today, it is not like that.
people of this generation have become more knowledgeable, we are very happy for that change, it is beneficial to all.
but it makes mere preaching less effective.
if Christianity is truly the better religion, which i believe, then let christians shine their light for others to see and glorify God.
your general attitude towards unbelievers has the power to covert them than mere preaching, people are not fools anymore,
they want to see what Christianity offer, as compared to their local religion.
conviction don't just come by listening anymore, it comes by observation.
by the Grace of God, thousands of non christians are getting convinced on their own, without anybody telling them anything about Christ, i. know what i am talking, if you have travelled to the US, you will see a lot of things.
recent study has indicated that the world's christian population has grown up to 6.64% in the past one decade.
all though we are not here to count people.
i believe, the process of changing the world should be at God's pace, we shouldn't fight people to change, let them judge by themselves.
killings and persecution is a sign that Christianity is doing well. because, it is frustration that makes people carry arms to fight, to advance and impose their religious ideology to people.
i wount encourage any christian to do that.
rather, let our light shine, and the only way we can shine is to change our ways.
there are so much atrocities in Christianity as I'm talking to you

paxonel:

my church is not Catholic, but i have to say the truth the way it applies practically.
be not equally yoked together with unbelievers. do not imply that christians should not make friends to non christians. it says, christians should not worship other gods.
the pope didn't go to the mosque to worship God through Muhammad , he went there to signify his solidarity to Islam. and to encourage Muslims to worship their Allah, he did it by bowing.
if you still think the act of bowing is the same thing as worship, then you should have a rethink, because, right from the day christ ressurected, and in christianity, worship has gone beyond mere act. worship (also known as to worship in spirit and in truth ) simply means to live your life in a state of grace by believing in Jesus, that he is the coming Messiah. john 4:23
which the pope himself has accepted,
no amount of bowing down can change that

paxonel:

if he comes back to the church, that means, that act of bowing down to shrine was not act of worship, but just a sign to pass one message,
that he as a christian, is not in a fight with any babalawo and his religion,
that everybody in the world have the right to practice any religion in the world, be it babalawo or anything.
but if he continues with the babalawo and do not come back to the church there after, that means, he has been converted into babalawo worship, away from Christianity.
in that case, i will conclude that, that is his choice, it will not in anyway affect the usual relationship i use to have with him outside religion

Maamin:


So you believe all this hun! Later you turn around and say the bible is corrupt abii.. mohahmmed must be turning over in his grave right now in disappointment.

paxonel:

pope going into mosque does not change anything.
a Muslim going into church does not change the fact that he remains a Muslim

paxonel:


exactly, the pope is not representing anybody's opinion, but what he want is justice to all mankind, irrespective of their sexual orientation.
don't equate insurgency and hitler's atrocities to human's sexuality, it does not follow.
i mean, insurgency and killings have negative impact to other people.
if your neighbors are practising homosexuality inside their house, how does it affect you negatively?
let those who want to eat snake meat eat their snake meat as much as you want to eat cow meat.
if snake meat kills them, then it is their choice, it will not affect you

Mustiboy:
I sometimes back then use to doubt islam and i couldn't trust christianity either but a while later i made some researcher and Revealed to me the truth and some signs i discoved even made my faith stronger. A tsunami invade a country everything was destroyed except for the mosques in the country. A boy was born with quran. A tree in posture of performing solat. Allah's name appeared on a tomato. A tree that forms allah's name and so many. My advice is stick to the religion you belive in be it islam christianity or traditional it's your faith in God and your deeds that will judge you when the great day comes. The truth someone who doesn't believe in God can make it to heaven it's all by the grace of God. Period!

gay people are variation in humans, God created a variety of human sexual orientation, or are you going to fight God for his creation?
did you create any human being? or do you know what it takes to create one.
if you don't know, your position should remain neutral in that matter

SAMBARRY:
By the way my brother's wife asked me to help her buy cow leg while passing by ipaja today on my way from work and lo and behold while I was at the market buying, a man apparently the husband of one of the sellers dragged a market womanout by her cloth where she was selling her fried rice ingredients. I couldn't believe my eyes, I thought it was a joke not until he brought out cane in the broad day light beating a woman of 38 to 39 years . I was so disgusted . The irritating part of the whole show was that one woman yelled and said what's all this madness all about when you know that you are in the market. The husband acted like he didn't hear and continued beating her and then a young guy who was part of the audience watching the whole drama told the other woman who asking the man to stop being violent saying in yoruba what's your own, is it you they are beating instead of you to mind your wares you are doing gbeborun.



However the only thing that pained me was that my phone battery was dead I didn't charge it if not I for don upload am for this thread . In fact the mental picture is still playing in my head.i would have littered the whole of nl with those pictures showing their faces including the audience. I wonder why our society finds violence entertaining and thrilling.

so many sociopaths around and for those who would want to ask why I didn't interfere. The elders say a wise person doesn't interfere in husband and wife quarrell talk more of total strangers I saw in the market



repulsive

SAMBARRY:
if you are the one sewing a particular clothing for days and the owner has come to threaten fire and brimstone and raise all manner of insult on the tailors head and probably you have almost finished the job which you have been paid for then a child comes to ruin it. Won't you transfer the inbuilt anger on the child. If that child was mine I will slap him his head will hit the wall and insult whoever is coming to interfere.




I am putting myself in that tailors shoe so I understand where she is coming from. She knows the owner of the cloth will not take it easy with her and the so called old man won't be there when she's receiving insults however I don't subscribe to violence. And that is the only thing the woman did wrong but I support every form of insult the man received

Alumni and authority of OAU need to talk sense into the current & future students of that great school. This was the same treatment meted out to obasanjo BEFORE he became president in 1999 & the same thing being done to the incumbent & visitor to d university. For that singular act on OBJ, he never liked OAU throughout his reign as the visitor to the university. If GEJ does the same to u tomorrow, don't accuse him of marginalization o.
I remember how Abdul salam was celebrated when we were celebrating UIs golden jubilee. He was so celebrated that he could hardly walk into Trenchard hall. The man was so happy that he promised UI a new hall of residence which now accomodates PG students.
OAU students should know that not every federal university gets to host the president in spite of the fact that he's their visitor. Moreover, the motto of Ife says "for learning & culture". It's cultural to give honour to whom honour is due.

coogar:


i wasn't taught all that & i don't think i missed anything. i was only interested in doing what men normally do. help in installation of gadgets or heavy equipments, wash & warm the car, mow the lawn, fuel & service the generator. my sisters took care of the feminine chores. that's their job!

UnimkeAk:


No, I aint joking,
These are the banks I do business with First Bank, GTB, Zenith and I went through the same routine while opening these accounts.
Got the form, filled it, gave it back with my passport and utility bill, sat down and waited while she did her work, one hour is even too much, in less than 40 mins I was given my acct no and told to go and pay in some cash into the acct.

While I was serving, I was given Union bank, jst filled the form, gave it back still at the LGA, traveled immediately, came back after one month and met an envelop with my acct details and atm.

Even when I opened an acct in a community bank, I didn't go there more than once, I got the withdrawal booklet

About the Cashless policy isshh, you are still allowed to do your usual bank transactions only that there is a limit when it comes to withdrawal of funds, and if that limit is exceeded, charges are incurred by the customer.

Like in your case, with or without the cashless policy, whether your first allawwee was paid in cash or wired, you'll still have to go through the same strenuous process of withdrawing ur cash with subsequent payments.

avalontony:



not all batch A 2012 ex-corp members have been paid.

UnimkeAk:


Cashless policy doesn't mean you won't have physical cash in hand.

Lies, it doesn't take even up to an hour to open an account in any commercial bank once you have the required documentations.

Talkless of an NySC account that doesn't requires any documents b4 opening an account

I didn't say it was fair, it is actually wrong,
My issh was abt the fact dt sum peeps said it had to be paid in cash.
Whether paid in cash or wired, I am of the opinion that they shuld be paid b4 leaving camp.

Note# States wr the cashless policy are yet to be implemented are paid in cash at the camp.

So 4 this case who has to take the fall for this,
FG, CBN or NYSC?

brainpower:


I don't normally reply people that insult others cos it shows how frustrated they are. You can shre your idea without insulting me and I believe I not the only one that doesn't shre thesame idea with you.
Now to the topic, the military doesn't do such protests and nysc is considered technically as a paramilitary. Nysc didn't say they won't be paid their money but that they should go to their respective LG of posting first and its not the first time its happening or are the others fools?
They have laws that guide them in nysc, they have the camp court to go to in case they have grievances.
What should be noted is that their money will be given to them and its not law that cash has to be given to them in camp.
Now they have the freedom to protest but not that kin of protest. All thesame, you can see their protest as the right thing to do, I differ from that and the last time I checked I have the righht to not reason like you. But if you still have a problem with it, you can go to hell. For your information, Rivers state govt doesn't pay state allowance until after one year or more when you are no longer a corper, the question is, will they protest that too?

UnimkeAk:


Mr, it used to be cash, I collected my first allawee cash.

But since the last batch of 2013, due to the cashless policy it is no longer paid in cash.

How can someone in his/her right senses, in a strange land finish all the physical cash they have on them.

otega88:

Its just so bad. I served in khana and I know what some ex-corp member go through. I'm doing very well myself and I know what I went through before I got to this stage. Its just annoying when I see government officials hiding behind the garment of law to do evil and they always always always go free in the end. I like what these corps members did, atleast it got them the required results.

otega88:

Not all batch A 2012 bro, some were paid and many others have been left hanging with excuses from Amaechi and his likes.
