The Love Of God Is Without Measure

we need a new direction

Our perfect omnipotent god created the first man in his image, though the man he created in his image is imperfect.The omniscient god put the first human in a garden of Eden and plant a tree of temptation for them just to test their loyalty. Though being omniscient he should have known that they would eat that fruit.The trustworthy god who said repeatedly that the sins of father shall not be visited on the child did not only visit the sins of adam and eve on their children but he passed it to mankind forever. My word for the above story is "ancient fictions" If such a God exists, then he/she must be the most evil and capricious deity ever; but since we are relieved to know that such a deity does not exist, then he is still the most evil and capricious deity in all of ancient and modern fiction. A deity who creates human beings weak, and commands them to be strong; convicts his followers of thought-crime; fanatically concerned about who we have s-ex with, and the positions we choose when we have s-ex; commands his followers to love their neighbour like themselves (an impossible proposition), and finally, a celestial dictator who forces compulsory love down the throat of his adherents.

Any Difference Between Sunday Dressing And Week Days'?

I've always wondered,people do have their selection of dresses to church. There are some cloth you see christians put on during workdays and you'll never see them putting it on on a sunday and vice versa,i remember when i was young,when i put on a particular clothe on a week day,my mum will say its a sunday clothe and that i should change it,i've been wondering are there really any differences?..... Your opinion NLers....Thanks

[size=13pt] When I was a kid I put on my best clothes on Sunday, but when I became a man I put away childish clothing.Actually, I wear my best clothes on daily basis as long as I'm not indoors, life is to short to keep my best in the wardrobe for a particular day, by the way Sunday is just like every other day of the week and I'm not going to church to impress anyone except myself.[/size]

The Doom Of Atheists!!

Atheists.. This is for you, you can take this as your devotion, but my intention is not to condemn u people, but to cause you see the light, you destiny, if you dont repent..''For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness of men, who suppree the truth in unrighteousness. Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without EXCUSE. Because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor where thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened, professing to be wise, they became fools,..''Rom 1:18-22''The Word of the Living God had said it all. But why would someone decide to bite the hand the feds such a one?, why would you turn around to insult and trample the grace of God underfoot?, no wonder the bible says 'a Fool says in his heart there' s no God'. A loving Father sent His son to come and die inorder to reconcile you to Him, you didn't deserved it, but He did it because He loves you, this is the greatest truth in the universe, better believe it before you shall say 'had I known when it must had been too late.' I weap for you, pls give Christ a chance.

Many of the religionists do not even know whom the are serving. Majority are serving men, and for those that claim to be serving God (there seem to be many versions of God - and it makes one wonder).

Sorry Pastor Kun, i am Just Asking

Pastor kun don't die in silence let members help you if you be sincere to answer this question YOUR FRUSTR ATION IN LIFE, ARE THEY CAUSED BY OYEDEPO and PASTOR CHRIS ? This question becomes important because i can sense that your bitter hatred for pastors especially bishop oyedepo and pastor chris are weighing you down seriousely. Initially when i found out the meaning of pastor kun i was wondering what could have made you to assume that user name pastor kun which true meanin is ANTI PASTOR.May be you have suffered greatly through the ministry of Bishop Oyedepo or Pastor Chris that you vowed to bring down any pastor that comes your way. Or do i say that a pastor prayed and delivered a poerson wanted to dupe. I am asking this questions because your hatred for Oyedepo and Pastor Chris is great.Members will agree with me that the level of attack Bishop Oyedepo and Pastor Chris by pastor kun shows that something is behind it. So pastor kun be bold and open up. Members can see example of what i am saying by on going thread originated by pastor kun on Oyedepo in which he described Oyedepo as a Rouge, and that shows that there is something he knew about the two MOG that we don't know.Last time he (pastor kun) posted the picture of a hotel with vechles of people having a gwt toghter there and said it is a mansion belonging to pastor Chris. All these thing is a sign of transfered frustration and aggretion. Do open uo pastor kun.

Biblical warning against the likes of oyedepo and oyakhilome2 Peter 2:1-3New International Version (NIV)False Teachers and Their Destruction2 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies {prsoperity gospel for instance}, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought themabringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories {tithes,seed sowing, partnership e.t.c}. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

Is There Disunity Among Christians?

Among christians, it seems there are disunity and quest for power. Catholics, Anglicans, Pentecostals make up the christians and history had made it clear that catholicism is the foundation of the christian church. The 3 churches believed in Jesus christ, Holy spirit and God(holy trinity one God) but yet preaches almost different things as a result of their different doctrines and culture. Fights against christians had directed towards catholics which can be a clear evidence of its reality. Which christian church are you in,what do you think is the reason for christian disunity? Is catholicism really the foundation of the christian church?

I worship God...I don't follow church doctrines.

T.b. Joshua And Amodu Shuaibu!

Just heard it on Metro Fm sports news that Amodu Shuaibu, the Super Eagles coach, said it was T.B. Joshua who performed the miracles that made his team qualify for the World Cup. And like the presenters said, I'll also like the man of God to give the prediction for the Super Eagles performance during the World Cup. It will at least put the minds of football loving Nigerians at ease.They said the story is in the Champions newspaper.

Thank God for this testimony.It was obvious to me that there was a higher hand involved in the matches.It is good that the chief coach has come out to testify to the world what God has did for him and his team, through Prophet TB Joshua.

Sexuality

If the dog has ever taken the missionary's style, then anal is permissible. If the cock had left back mounting to take 69 position, then you can do oral. Take heed, nature has given every being its own. Anything contrary is heavenly prohibited. Q.E.D

SATAN BELONGS TO GOD. GOD USES SATAN AS HIS WHIPPING STICK ON EARTH WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS WHIPPING (PROVERBS 16 VS 4). SATAN IS A SPIRIT. SATAN IS A COMPONENT IN EVERY SPIRIT MADE BY GOD. EVERY SPIRIT IS MADE WITH A GOOD AND A BAD SIDE. THE BAD (EVIL SIDE) IS SATAN. EVERYTHING GOD CREATES HAS A PRO AND AN ANTI SIDE. THIS IS HOW THE LORD WORKS (SIRACH 33 VS 15). AND SINCE THE SPIRIT BELONGS TO GOD (ECCLESIASTES 12 VS 7 ), SATAN BELONGS TO GOD.SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.LUCIFER IS A MAN WREAKING HAVOC ON EARTH (AMERICA) (CAUCASIAN) AND SATAN IS ONE HALF OF THE SPIRIT IN EVERY HUMAN CREATED ON EARTH (which is why you do all the evil things you do. it is the satan in you )

Who Did Cain Marry? Was It His Sister And If So Was It Incest?

17 Says Cain met his wife and beget Enoch. Who was his wife and who were the parents of the wife since Adam and Eve were the first people created by God on this earth according to the Bible.Its a question that has been bugging my mind

My guy, the question is not about "knew", it is if Cain "knew" his wife what is his wife's name. Was it Eve his mother?. And if it was Seth's daughter. Then, who did Seth "know" in order to give birth to the wife Cain married.Cain was already married to his wife by the time he 'knew' her. He must have married his sister or a niece since God commanded their parents to be fruitful and multiply. He had to marry one his relatives to fulfil this mission.onmakpo:Am also oblivious of your question also and it is valid my brother. How many children did Adam have? Is it possible he gave birth to a daughter that was not recorded in the Bible? That question was meant for Joagbaje who implied that Adam and Eve only had 3 kids. I personally don't know how many children he sired but to the best of my knowledge it is recorded that Adam gave birth to sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4).In Genesis 5:4 we read a statement that sums up the life of Adam and Eve: "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters."

Dearest Aunty Ngo, How are you? My problem is very simple. I used to belong to a witchesa society but now Iave been delivered, praise be to God, but my former witch colleagues still want me back. Things have not been easy for me since I left my witchesa society. I am finding it more difficult to meet nice men who would look after me etc. My rent is also due and till now no man has offered to pay it. For all these reasons the temptation to go back to being a witch is very strong. Please advise me on what you will do if you were in my shoes becasue i'm having two minds.

A Question For Atheists

I want to know from anyone who is an atheist why they believe the way they do. I'll admit that I am a christian, but my purpose in asking this question is not to judge or argue. Rather I just want to understand why it is you believe the way you do. If there is no god than what is the purpose of life? Is there any? Is there a point to being good or bad? Is it merely knowing the truth or something more? Do you believe that we simply live and die? If so, what is the purpose of success, advancement, gain, and discovery if we just simply die anyway? Our sun will not last forever and then it too will be gone. When that happens, what will it all have been for? What is the point of loving, giving, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness if we all die and are erased from existence forever and eventually forgotten? There must be something that makes you want to believe in this. There are some that would say that atheists only believe the way they do because they've given up on other religions and have nothing to believe in anymore. I've heard so many atheists be defensive about what they believe, but what I've never really heard is why. Maybe it's because people don't tend to ask. So I need to ask. Why? Like I said, I'm not here to judge. I'm just simply here to listen and to understand without judgement. For anyone who is religious, I truly respect you and your devotion to your faith. However, this is not a place to debate whether atheism is true or not. So I would greatly appreciate it if you kept those thoughts to yourself. This is a topic for understanding, not debate. So for now, I'm listening.

Please, don't try to understand us! We don't want to understand you weirdos either.

The Bible Is Not Like Any Other Book

The bible has been in existence for thousands of years and surprisingly it hasnt become outdated. Many scholars not just christians still use it as a guide to success. It contains so many teachings on finances, marriage, love, wisdom, women, men, crimes, e.t.c read d book of proverbs, psalms, ecclesiastes, etc The bible is so rich that its a guide towards a perfect life. Unlike any other book you read and dump,the bible is so unique that every day you read it, you have more knowledge of the existence of life. My point is can the bible ever become obsolete? Many of what is happening now has already been written in the bible. Is this not a sign that there is an "alpha and omega" somewhere? Take it or leave it, the bible (God's words) can never pass away without being fulfilled.Because of its relevance,it has so many translation, and nothing has been added to it or removed from it and nothing of such will ever be. I'm not trying to preach here.i'm just looking at it from a logical point of view. Let me have your say

so you registered today to post this? Who give a fu..ck about that!

Many of what is happening now has already been written in the bible. Is this not a sign that there is an "alpha and omega" somewhere? Take it or leave it, the bible (God's words) can never pass away without being fulfilled.Because of its relevance,it has so many translation, and nothing has been added to it or removed from it and nothing of such will ever be. I'm not trying to preach here.i'm just looking at it from a logical point of view. Let me have your say ## Assistant: ## so you registered today to post this?

Spiritual Attack Is Real. How To Protect Yourself

Repent of your sins (wrongdoings)Confess them all to God. Do not hide anythingAsk God for forgivenessResolve not to further break Gods commandments Live a Godly lifeAvoid any appearance of evilPray and fast without ceasingYou may want to go for deliverance if you have evil entities residing in you. Its wise to check it out.Sins give devils and demons spiritual legal entry into people for a life of torment.Their mission is to steal your joy, kill people and destroy people and property.I wish you a joyful Godly life.

@ VALIDATORLet me give you some illustration1. Why does a soldier undergo training in warfare despite not experiencing war.2. Why is a child taught to be independent for adulthood despite not yet reaching adulthood.3. Why do Students need to undergo education that will prepare them for life outside school.Spiritual attack can come in different ways. Can be physical or emotional. Have you looked at a mad person on the street and ask yourself , why?Some may be due to depression, stress related, drugs or SPIRITUAL ATTACK.I know of a friend who went to bed in good health and was found dead with blood coming out of his ears.I have seen a boy put a ring on his finger, slam it on a goat and the second day the goat's skin started to decay.I have seen a Nepa man who wanted to disconnect a herbalist power supply and got stung by bees.I have seen someone's name called in his absence and he answered to his unfortunate demise.One of my tenants was pregnant for 4 years.We thank God that we have been taken out of darkness and brought into the light.So when u say spiritual attack do not exist, Because you have not experienced ityou make me wanna halla., just thank your lucky star that God has shown u his grace and mercy.Anyway who no know, no go know.

Moses Wrote The Book Of Deuteronomy. But Did He Also Write Chapter 34?

If no, then who did ?If yes, do explain.So let us discuss, bible scholars.

Moses did not write any of the 5 books in the bible. Tradition is what ascribes the authorship to him. . .The first 5 books of the bible were written by some many different authors, the book of genesis alone has more than one author. . .No where in any of the books did moses claim authorship, even moses was addressed in third person narrative. . . the different writing styles and wordings show that the books were written by so many different authors. . . .

Adam The First Man Was A Blackman(evidence)

God moulded man from the earth( .now what is the colour of earth??adam was a blackman!

That the first humans on earth were Africans has been known and accepted as facts for a very long time. Infact, this is primary school knowledge all over the world.There is absolutely no controversy about this. What I find shocking, laughable and at the same time very sad, is that Africans, no, perhaps only Nigerians, are the most resistant to this piecee of factual knowledge.Can Anyone care to speculate on why this is so?.They, whoever they were, really really messed up our brians.Pity.

Do Your Pastor Support Dating?

well according to a dictionary meaning, Dating: to have a romantic relationship with somebody.. i.e boyfriend/girlfriend affair. Well my opinion is; any Pastor that support such is FAKE, Satanic and Wicked..! Do You Agree??

i do notsupport dating, neither does God. It's complete walking by sight. Mary was espoused, in courtship with Joseph, not having some frivolous dating fun.

Why Did Jesus Come?

Hey guys its Christmas again, a time we all celebrate the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ into the world, the word that became flesh and dwelt amongst us. We eat, drink and make merriments with different intents. I would like to know from your point of view why Jesus came. Guess if we know this, we'll celebrate this unique season with a focus. So the question is open for answers, Why did Jesus come?

@Iysaa,Jesus came as a second Adam . We died through the first Adam , but life and immortality has been brought to knowledge through the second Adam . He has made us partakers of divine verities by Union with God. He also gave us opportunity to demonstrate our Love for him by bringing many others into thesame knowledge of truth. The best way to celebrate Christmas is to reach out to the lost, the sick, the hungry. Telling them about the love of God and bringing in into their inheritance in christ. Let's prove to the world and cohort of hell that Jesus was not a failure. By showing forth the reason he came.

Can Anything Come Out Of Nothing?

Where did our Universe come from?This is a question that many people ponder about increasingly in our time. Of course, it does not have to be worrisome to some others (especially where questions of this nature do not put food on anyone's table. . . or does it.) Religious folk, philosophers, scientists, deists and even atheists have all tried to give it a thought or two between times; and as expected, the answers are as varied as the faces we all carry.How does such an enquiry affect you as a person?No matter who you are, and perhaps might have given it a thought or two at some point, can you fathom something coming out of nothing? Is such an idea theoretically possible to be conceptualized? Some deny its possibility; others hold that it is the core of their worldview(s) - I shall not fail to acknowledge also those who have no hard opinions on the question.If it is possible to fathom the possibility that something could come out of nothing, how would that bear upon your idea of the universe - that it began to exist and has not always existed on its own; or, that it has always existed on its own and did not begin to exist?This is one of those questions I had thought about and proposed for discussion as mentioned sometime recently. Others of such kind would follow; but for now - 'something', 'anything', 'out of nothing'. . or??Welcome.

From my experience nothing has come out of nothing, and even when things are created, something is used to create them. So I think all that exists has always existed and always will. parts may combine or interact differently to spawn new entities, but nothing that wasn't already there will ever be there, and nothing will ever be removed.The Mystery of this existence is what I can call God. The sum total of all existence. I don't know all that exists, so i don't try to conceptualize or even dwell on it. It's a waste of time and energy. But I know existence to be a creative force because that is what i can see and experience. I know nothing else.

Why Don't Women Cover Their Heads In Church Anymore?

I'm aware that in some places women do still cover their heads, but looking at my bible it clearly says in 1 Corinthians 11:5-7 that women should cover their heads while in prayer. Is their some later verse that nullifies this? And if there is then why is this passage included at all? I was taught at my Christian school that the bible is 100% literal, but if that is so then every time a woman prays with her head uncovered then isn't she knowingly sinning? And why is it "dishonorable" for a man to cover his head in prayer?

Grace now does the covering na, LOL.But seriously, it's unfortunate the situation we find ourselves today. There's no more simple faith in God and His Word. There's so much twisted belief, aeropagus class faith, and mass buck passing. When the Son of God comes, should He come this year, will He find faith?

What's Your Take On Judging Others?

Matthew 7:1-2: Judge not, or you too will be judged; for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the same measure you used, it will be measured to you!1 Corinthians 4:5; Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time, each will receive his praise from God. -----------------------------------------------------------The two verses above restricts judging others, while the one below agrees that a spiritual man can judge, I want to know your take on this! Thanks in advance. ----------------------------------------------------------------1 Corinthians 2:15 : The spiritual man make judgement about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgement! (NIV)

Evil certainly has to be condemned. Not to judge doesn't mean you won't condemn evil. Rom2;1 Do you, my friend, pass judgment on others? You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and do the same thing they do, you condemn yourself." In another place Jesus said first remove the peck in your eyes before you see the log of wood in others. He never said don't remove that peck. What the bible is preaching against is hypocrisy. You cannot condemn when you do the same thing. Some peeps just don't get.

We worship one TRUE GOD not a TRINITY - A Provocative discussion

There have been accusations that Christians worship 3 gods, however after careful study we find out that this accusation is unfounded.For indeed God is ONE.I want this thread to be used as a place for discussion about the nature of God as is clearly defined in the bible, since the word Trinity is never used once in the Bible, but by implication we confirm that indeed God is recognised as Holy Spirit , Son and Father.Not one of us will dare question the above fact.However , I read a book called If the Bible Taught the Trinity, I'd Believe It by Michael Holcomb , only a few pages, and he clearly explained why God is 1 and not 3 persons.At the end, I came to agree and believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost not as 3 distinct persons but 1 GOD.This is not a conclusive matter, I sincerely want some serious bible scholars to help talk about this and explain better to the benefit of all and sundry.Thank You.[Col 1:26,27] Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Whilst I believe in God the father almighty, Jesus christ his son and the holy spirit their representative, I have never and would never subscribe to the unbiblical concept of trinity which suggests the three make up one God or they are co-equal. Jesus made it clear several times that the Father is greater than him and he is subject to the will of his father hence I find the concept of trinity blasphemous and full of loop holes. I know a lot of my christian brethen subscribe to this man derived doctrine but I would still make bold to say it is not right.Ps: having made my point, I would refrain from further comments on this topic as the subject matter often gets unnecessarily emotionally charged.

Jesus made it clear several times that the Father is greater than him and he is subject to the will of his father hence I find the concept of trinity blasphemous and full of loop holes. I know a lot of my christian brethen subscribe to this man derived doctrine but I would still make bold to say it is not right.Ps: having made my point, I would refrain from further comments on this topic as the subject matter often gets unnecessarily emotionally charged. ### END CONVERSATION ###

The Eckankar Religion

What's Up With Eckankar Religion?Please, is the 'Eckankar' we sing of in our Christian songs the one that exists today? Because they are growing in their numbrs and they are very proud of it. In fact, the Eckankar Student Fellowship members in my school (UNN) are one of the boldest.

you shouldn't expect eckankar to have reference in the bible, or any other religious book. it is a totally new thing and has no connections with Christianity. it have more connection with hindu as most of their terminology stem from yoga doctrines. to me religion is like a university, after u graduate, u need to come out and practice your what you ve studied and drop all your encyclopedia and text book back in the library. there are so many religions in the world today with different ideologies and doctrine and there are still many more coming out and you can not do anything about it. people seek what they miss, if u are satisfied where you are just stay and enjoy it don't judge others but wish them luck and send them lots of love.

I think it would be better renders as follows:23 aWoe to you, teachers of the law and PASTORS, you hypocrites! You are collecting tithes. But you have neglected the more important matters of the lawajustice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.Actually, it would be best if it read:23 aWoe to you, teachers of the law and PASTORS, you hypocrites! You are collecting tithes.

He Was In The World, And The World Knew Him Not

My fellow christian brothers what this verse is pointing out many paster and christian brothers don't know what it meant yet, so they assumed that Jesus Christ is the suprime God. Before i explain the deep meaning of this verse can anybody guess what it meant?John 1:10, say: He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. (Nkjv)Firstly to make it clear for your understanding read (john 1:1) in the begining was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. (Nkjv)and Genesis 1:1-3in the beginning when God created the universe,2, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water. 3, Then God commanded, ''let there be light'' - and light appeared. (Good News Bible)

Jesus was like adam when he was born. But After the bathism of jesus. The bible says the heaven open and the full Holy Spirit of God decend upon Him. From that moment God take charge of him as it own mouth piace. It was done and leed by the Holy Spirit as He speak it was God who speaks. He became God because the Word was God not from His own. If God send me a message to lagos and was lead by the Holy Spirit as i convey the Word of God then i represent God because He is the Word.

In Whose Name Do Atheist Swear In Court?

When atheist have anything to do in law court be it marriage or legal case.In whose name do they swear to the oath of truth?

It is not mandatory that a person must swear an oath with bible,quran,iron or whatever.the most important thing is for a witness to take an oath to tell the truth before giving evidence in court.this oath taking can either be in form of swearing in the name of God or you can choose to affirm.being a xtian or muslim does not mean it is mandatory for you to swear by God.you can decide to affirm and your oath goes thus:'i ......do solemnly affirm dt anything i shall say in this matter b4 ds court shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,so i affirm'.you affirm by raising up your right hand.With due respect , some of the contributors are either ignorant of rights to freedom of conscience,association and religion as entrenched by the constitution or that they dont see anything good in whatever that is outside their beliefs.i dont see a reason why ,somebody, because of his belief refuses to swear by God's name should be attacked.what is the purpose of swearing in God's name when we know that we are going to lie.TAFA BALOGUN Swore with quran but lied,JAMES IBORI swore with bible and denied all the allegations levelled against him in court.criminals either swear wt the bible or quran but they will proceed to say 'not guilty'.does swearing in God's and lie make a criminal a saint or not swearing in God's name make an atheist a criminal?.we trivialise God and bring him into everything even though we are not Godly .we criticise people that are not of our belief even though we are not saint.we dont want to see reason in others'bco we are not in the same camp.to my mind,religious belief should be a personal issue,once we start seing ourselves as superior then that is the begining of an end!one of such trend is boko haram.indeed there are many more boko haram in thought than the real boko haram.in fact,there is no place where bible or quran is mentioned in the constitution but rather it sees us as citizens of this country.one love regardless of our belief

The Experience: Sheer Waste Of Money

THE EXPERIENCE music festival is coming up tonight.It's amazing how people can spend such a huge amount of money on matters that have no eternal consequence.This shouldn't be our concentration as believers. I don't get how the concert will improve anyone's life or how it will save anyone.It's pretty sad

I don't have a single kobo in House On The Rock so I can't possibly dictate to them how to spend their money.

What Should We Do To A Demon Possessed Person

If a person is possessed by a demon. What exactly should be done.Should we cast the demon out/ negotiate with the demon to leave the person/ allow the demon remain there/ flog the demon out/ disgrace the person publicly and watch the demon go/ make sacrifices to god or maybe dialogue. Have we actually consider if the person wants to be delivered,or if the demon actually wants to leave the person. Or if the demon is for good or for bad. Also what gives us the impression that a person is possessed? Did we see it through a microscope or did we hear a voice from heaven telling us that a person is possessed. Also why can't we just leave it to God to handle. why do it our self.

if you see such a person, you either have him checked by a psychiatrist or have yourself checked by a psychiatrist.

Why Do People Become Atheist.

Well it's simple they are idiots

A great philosopher once said and I quote "I DISTRUST PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD BECAUSE THAT "VOICE" ALWAYS COINCIDES WITH THEIR HEART'S DESIRES". Anybody can do any sort of wicked act and justify it as the "will of god" or say "that's what god ministered to them". Keep decieving yourselves. The most wicked and dishonest people I have ever come across are the ones who can't utter three sentences without calling god,god,god. I might not be religious but I have the common sense to decipher right from wrong. There's a "christian broda" who lives opposite me, he started attending service in one of the pentecostal churches within the axis and between june and august (three months), he has slept with at least eight ladies (which I know of) from THE SAME CHURCH! This is the same person that dresses "corporately",carries a big bible and talks as if he's a messenger from heaven. He even tried having a religious debate with me at one time but I shut him up with a few verses from that same bible. Tell me something. . . The Atheist who gives to charity because he/she feels its the right thing to do or the "Born again" christian who gives because the bible says so/they want abundant blessings in return. . .who is the better person? Who has the moral high ground? And you have the nerve to utter nonsensities. Hypocrites!

Why Do Married Women Respect Their Pastors More Than Their Husbands

i dont mean to start another controversy but to simply air my views on a very important aspect of marriage. wether you believe it or not, most married xtian women, fear or respect their pastors more than their husband. i have been married for a while now, and my observation is over a long period of time. im not just forming things. i dont know why this is the case. but its true however, although thats not my practical experience (my wife doesnt disrespect me). women shd share with us what they think about this.

Another matter is that these pastors and their first ladies wear a mask when they are in church. They pretend like all is rosy and sweet. so these xtain women look at them thinking: 'Wooow!!!, pastor and his wife, oooh what a couple,they love and respect each other, they dont fight, pastor respects and flourishes her, I wish I had a husband like pastor,wooow!'. Not knowing that they are each others throat at home, but have to put on a mask at church. Like some said in an earlier post: If they lived with their pastor 24/7, like they do their husband, they certainly wouldn't like him

Donate To The Poor And Needy Not Pastors tithe

Hello folksDonate to the poor and needy out thereA lot of children are dying out there.

Another thread that will go down the drain of oblivion---You see, what the proponents of 'donate to the needy and not to pastors' fail to realize is that most Nigerians are self-centered and they've been suckered into believing that by giving to the pastors, they would receive a hundred fold in return. They don't give because they love the pastor or they hate the needy, they give because of the 'blessings' attached to the act itself. In most churches, if you give to the needy, you're just being charitable, no blessings attached.Excellent point.What we see ,especially in Nigeria, is the total perversion of the message of the humble Nazerene. Giving to to needy is a selfless act wheareas giving to the pastor is a selfish act, an intended bribe.So with all the thousands of churches all around us, deep down, we are still the same: selfish and wicked.

How Did 'Jesus' Ascend 'Up To Heaven' With A Physical Body?

I've been thinking about this story of the Jesus character ascending up 'into heaven' before onlookers.Think about that carefully. It's the most crazy idea isn't it?For starters, the implication is that heaven is an actual physical location 'up there', like on some distant planet. But everything we know about the afterlife or spirit world indicates that it's a different spiritual dimension, as opposed to a different physical location. Thus one can only go to heaven by shedding one's physical body via death, and assuming the spiritual or ethereal one that allows one to dwell in heaven. One cannot enter heaven with a physical body. Surely! Thus the idea of 'Jesus' ascending up into heaven before onlookers is most absurd, even by the crazy standards of the Jewish book of fairytales called the bible, isn't it?

Just imagine what you're saying. . .If ordinary object like plane created by people that cannot manufacture a single human eye, as useless and empty as is it could fly why won't he (the son of God the most high) fly/ascend with whatever body he decide to use?. . .physical body; spirit body or whatever 'atheistic' language you may wish to use.

Why Do Women Cry?

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?""Because I'm a woman,"she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say. The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he asked God. He said, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said: " When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed." "You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

i have the powerpoint thingy for this nice, really.

A Queen In Heaven?

i once read from the Light of Truth some years back about a queen in heaven called Elizabeth. Is there any grail member that can expantiate on that? Is there any relationship between this reasoning and the Holy Mary Mother of God in Heaven?

@Ricadelide,Thanks for your reply. I have read your very lengthy post. I could easily address all the concerns you raised. However I will not do so because while asking questions you have already arrived at your conclusions on the Grail Message. There is no point in offering answers to people who believe that they already have the right belief. It is irrelevant to me what others believe or do not believe, whether the accept or reject the Grail Message. The experiences of each individaul will convince him or her either here on earth or when he has departed this life whether or not his path is leading him to God or damnation. Best wishes.

Chicken Found With Id Card

it all happened yesterday along the mile2 rd in lagos when a lady waiting at the b/stop suddenly turned into a chicken.report has it that a lady identified as chioma was waiting to get a bus to her destination when she was touched slightly by a man, only for her to turn into a chicken.as the man was about to pick up the chicken other passers-by and pple at the b/s noticed that the chicken had an id card around its neck with the name chioma ezeugo and that was what implicated the man. trust lagos pple the man was caught and beaten to a pulp and he would have been burnt but for the intervention of some policemen who interrogated and took him to their stationit was also said that the man confessed, telling the police why and for whom he was carrying out the act.when the police learnt that the act was carried out on behalf of one alhaji, they brushed the whole issue aside, they probably knew the alhaji in question and may have been collecting somepips from him the pathetic thing now is that the chicken died while all this was going on its so sad really what some folks do and will do just to get wealth and affluence so watch ur back peeps

Demons are products of the evil volitions of men. They only afflict those who are evil or individuals whose faith in the omnscience of God is not firm. Any man who lives according to laws of God stands protected from demons. Both the origin of a chicken and that of a human being are so different that it is impossible to exchange the two. Sure, the spiritual shape the physical but even in the shaping it has to manifest within the laws of God. That is why it is impossible to convert stone to a human being, abolish sin by a fiat etc.

Define Faith *with An Example*

As we all know, faith is the evidence of things that are yet to be visible. Now defining faith with an example: Faith is when you believe in God & the 2nd coming of his son Jesus. we are yet to see God, yet we believe in him - that is the greatest faith!Do you have any other definition??

Faith is when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were about to be thrown into the fire, yet they said that they know that God is able to save them from the fire and even if God accepts that they perish in that fire, they will still not go against God.That is Faith!

Thou Shall Not KILL!!! A Question For Muslim And Christain

I understand its bondly written in the bible,quran and the book of moses that '' thou shall not kill'' its a great sin if u do that but theres a big question have been pondering abt and i havent found a suitable answer to quench my Urge and sense of reasoning.I understand we have different interpretation and understanding of the holy books but i would like a straightforward and honest answer to this.In an instance Where armed robbers payed u a visit and u were later tortured due to the fact that they couldnt get enough from u and due to their lapses you saw an opening and ran for the door but on ur way out u forcefully pushed 1 of them just for u to escape.After some hours u came back to ur house to meet a large crowd sorrounding a dead body and u recognize him as the guy u pushed,he died cos he broke his neck after the pushPls does that count as u killing Someone and committing a great sin?

Self defence is not anywhere close to killing in my book.Infact if you had shot any of them as a form of self defence I see nothing wrong.Beside OP,your case is straight forward,your's was not even intentional,it was an accident(to me no sin committed).

It is a normal occurrence that men and women prefer to marry from within their religion circle. Will a marriage work if it happen by natural occurrence that the partners are from different religion groups i.e. Christianity and Islam. Waiting to have your wise counsels here.

will the marriage work? NO unless one partner compromises his/her faith. The man is the head of the home in any religion or tribe in Nigeria. based on this the woman has to join the man in his belief. e.g mariam babangida(she was a christian). lets not deceive ourselves love will not be enough cos the other partner(mostly the man) will insist on his children been raised in his faith.i ve a friend who fell for a man from the north. she is a christian and the man a moslem. he agreed that their children will be brought up neutral and will choose whom to serve God thru. well after 4years of marriage, he enrolled his toddlers into moslem schools and rite now my friend is a practising moslim(if you can't beat them join them).

Jehovah's Witnesses; The Ideal Christian!

# for christians who believe in the bibleI was just reading the bible passage of mathew 28 v 19 that talks about the preaching of the goodnews in all the inhabited earth and i couldnt help but wonder which other denomination does this in the manner Jesus and the early disciples did by visiting one home after another and on such a grandscale, why dont other churches do the same? At every home you almost always notice an awake or a watchtower magazine, and this makes for an advantage because people have their multifarious spiritual issues which the pastor cannot address in the pulpit, if Jesus stepped out to evangelize at people's home why shouldnt our big reverred stylish pastors leave their comfort zones in emulation of our lord and saviour christ or are witnesses the only adherents to this command to preach! Your comments pls

What Is Stigmata In Xtainship?

does anyone know if stigmata is real in the christaindom, i dont beleive

Stigmata do occure. Many of the cases are minor and can be brought about by religious ecstacy involving suggestion, autosuggestion or self hypnosis. These minor cases do not last and quickly disappear. However their are real major cases in which the sufferer bears all the wound marks on the body of Jesus, the son of God. Such real cases are especially aggravated during easter time. The wound marks cannot be alleviated or healed by medical intervention. Those real cases are a physical reminder to humankind that the love and justice of God cannot be mocked. Those who bear genuine stigmata are paying a price for their personal attack and participation in the murder of Jesus, the son of God approximately 2000 years ago. It is a reciprocal action arising from there personal attacks on the person of Jesus, the son of God. At that time, these souls mocked, enjoyed, laughed at the cruxcifiction and participated outwardly or inwardly in the murder of the son of God. They taught themselves to be clever and smart. Now and in their former earthlifes these souls bear the wound marks and will continue to do so until the recognition of what they have done comes to them. If these souls ask the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness, their stigmata will disappear. The increase in the occurence of genuine stigmata and the disappearance of the affliction from sufferers who come to the recognition of their deeds will be one of the signs of the spiritual purification of the earth and its non visible prototype .

'Live and let's live!'. Obviously you don't get the message. I don't care whether or not you believed in what I experienced. I mentioned seeing the photo of Jesus in 2 Asian countries with a typical Asian face. That doesn't not imply that I think Jesus was Asian. And posting such pictures doesn't mean that he was Asian while he lived on earth. The place of birth and nationality of Jesus Christ are clear enough in the Bible. The talk here is about the pictures we see around, and I decided to mention what I saw too. I will not post any picture here for people to download and circulate with their different meanings and interpretations. I will not take responsibility for such! Get the me right!

It may not have been a church, it could have been anything at all, the good thing about it is that it comes from Nigeria.It was said in the Bible, "Can anything come out of Jerusalem?" But Jesus came out of it. So also something good has come out of Nigeria, let us celebrate it.

It has made it difficult for me to accept the Genesis creation account as literal.It seems more symbolic that a factual blow by blow account of human creation as it actually happened.Read Genesis 4: 1 - 17 from here, i am not clear of the land of Nod and it's founder and how Cain's wife came to be. Was there more than one creation? or were there another group of people on earth before Adam and Eve were created?Your honest answers to these questions are most welcome to help throw more light on the creation account.

See someone talking of mutation and gene pool as if he didn't read it in some revised textbook.How can you draw conclusions from such probability?I stated my views on the topic and you are welcome to dispute them. Labelling my submission as what I read from "some revised textbook" is not a counter argument. Provide counter genetic argument to my submission and then we will debate. Cheers

Profiling Yahweh,the God Of The Jews

After having read the bible OT thoroughly and with open-mind,describe what will be in your profiling of the jewish deity called yahweh, if you are asked to make a list of his charater traits?I am really curious to know what people will write down,especially atheists.

God is all of man's bad and good qualities into one. he/she/it could be nice if he wants to and evil when he wants too. He/she/it always finds a way to justify his actions while everyone else is to blame for evil (man, satan, demons, serpents etc) .Huge ego and always looking for attention like a baby.He/she/it can also be mr.nice guy who protects you from a huge middle- eastern army, leads you to the promise land, bless with free heavenly garri and if you are lucky enough, he shows you his backside by a burning bush.In short, God is the ultimate schizophrenic. he gets more sane in the new testament though.

Seventh Day Adventist-any Idea?

please can someone give me an insight into Adventicism(seventh day adventist)?I need to know what they are really about.

Yes, we believe in hell as well as heaven. We believe that hell will not carry on indefinitely, and that eventually Satan, sinners, and sin will be finally destroyed. We also believe that the redeemed will only spend 1000 years in heaven after which the New Jerusalem containing all God's children will descend and suspend over the mount of Olives.After God would have judged the wicked prior to their ultimate destruction, He will create a new heaven and earth. The New Jerusalem or City of God will rest on the earth forever. We will live in this glorious city. God the Father and His Son and the un-fallen angels will dwell with us. In other words heaven will be on earth. The earth will become the capital of the universe. Make sure you get there!

Did Jesus & His Apostles Ever Speak About Tithe Like Today's Pastors Do?

Hi peep, this tithe issue has been bodering me so much. From all the Bible I have read, I have never came across where Jesus Christ spoke about tithe neither did his disciples or the Apostles. They majorly spoke about them sharing what they have with the needy. But we all know the way todays pastors hammer on tithe issue.Does it mean that Jesus Christ only came to save us and does not care about God opening upon us the windows of heaven for blessings?Does it mean that God is waiting for you not to pay tithe and then cease ur security and blessings?Does paying tithe make u rich or vise versa?Pls am a born again Christian and I need other born again christian view on this. Your comment wld be highly appreciated as it wld set me on the right path again on this ish.Thanks.

Whom Did Our Forefathers Worship Prior To The Spread Of Christianity?

Just curious, does anybody know? Was the belief in the Supreme God central in the beliefs of our people? The reason why I am asking this question is a discussion that I read in "Things Fall Apart". One of the narrators in the novel was of the belief that the idols and gods that the people served in the land were 'representatives' of The Supreme God. While the foreigner disputed those beliefs. Not that I believe in idols or gods, mine point to the Supremacy of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, but I do wonder sometimes, did our forefathers believe in the existence of the Supreme Being? If so, why was it not pronounced in our culture, but rather the worship and proliferation of idols were the order of the day during ancient times.

This thread is educative

Is It A Sin To Work On The Sabbath?

Is it a sin to work on sunday. I need some advice.

@topic,Let me add a few more lines:"Is It A Sin To Work On The Sabbath?" NO.It all depends on several things:(a) The sabbath law was made for Jews - that law was not binding on Gentiles (that is people who are not Jews)(b) The sabbath law was ratified by the blood of animals - it was binding on all who were Jews under the law of Moses(c) Christians are not under a covenant ratified by the blood of animals - we are believers from every nation of the world(d) the New Testament sabbath is more a Person than a day - it is Christ Himself! Christ is our blessed rest, and we are the beneficiaries of the better things through the covenant of HIS Blood.Blessings.The last time I checked, the law of the sabbath was still part of the 10 commandments. If the law of the sabbath is not binding on non-Jews, are the other 9 commandments equally not binding on non-Jews?How is one to know which laws are binding and which are not?

Is Lust Wrong Even In Marriage?

I know lust outside of marriage is a sin but what about lust in a marriage, is that a sin too?

@4HimMy dear you are very wrong. With marriage God did not give you the right to become an animal or to reduce yourself to an animal. Your wife is to be honored and respected, not your sex instrument. Sex is a gift from God that should be enjoyed within the confines of harmonious and God pleasing relationship. The food that you worked for is also a gift from God that should be enjoyed, however not like an animal. You cannot put your food into your nose or your eyes just because you earned it. You can not live all your life thinking only of food and putting everything else behind, in this case even though the food is yours, it is a sin! You cannot overfeed yourself which is like harming your self just because the food is yours. You should not entice your neighbors with your food just because it's yours. You should not become a glutton just because the food is yours.Apply the same with sex. You should not put sex first in your marriage. And you should degrade yourself to an animal-- IE sodomy, sexual torture, and all sorts of perversion just because she is your wife. your wife should not represent sex to you, she is an individual that deserves to be respected. There is noting wrong with sex in a real marriage but as soon as lust gets into it, it becomes a sin. purity is a prerequisite to enter the kingdom of God, purity is the opposite of lust. Lust for anything is wrong and unGodly.Most marriages today are like the one I mentioned in my earlier story, statics of divorce and domestic violence proves my point.

PTH obviously doesn't memorise the bible. no sir, memorising the bible is a futile exercise. Reading with the aim of understanding what is there is the key. The bible says - for the letter killeth but the spirit it giverth life.

Cool. Calm And Peaceful Prayers Vs Noisy And Fire Brand Prayers

Its no longer news that some people/churches believe in saying their prayers cool, calm and gently while some shout and even scream while praying "talking" to God.Looking at the nature of God himself whom we all know is forever cool, calm and peaceful{also not deaf} i don,t think we need to shout nor scream before he hears/answers our prayers that is my own opinion anyway, what is your own stake on this issue?where do you belong?

5aAnd when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7[b][size=16pt]And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words[/size][/b]. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.God knows even before you ask apparently. They could have fooled me, from the way they go on I'd have thought not only doesn't he know, but he's kinda hard of hearing too.

But just that beki was choosed in Ghana, more 800 souls has been wasted.Secondly, the pedestrian bridge at cele bus stop in lagos, which use to be an avenue for petty traders, people moving on it in mass from morning till night, vehicles passing under. But the faithfull day it collapsed, there was nobody on it, no vehicle was damaged, no life was lost.Our God is a good God.

God is very merciful to us Nigerians. Were it not for His Love, our country would have descended into a warzone, since the annulment of June 12.

Why Are Christians Afraid Of The Comet Elenin?

[b]Some Christians believe that the world will end this year as a result of the comet Elenin. There were false reports that the comet would collide with earth in October. Many of the May 21 doomsday people believed this would be the end of earth and the return of Jesus. However, the comet has lost its power and will not hit the earth. However, those who wrote the bible did not even know of comets. Why would Christians believe in such nonsense that this is the way the earth would end and Jesus would return? Here is the updated story: Comet Elenin has sparked more than its fair share of doomsday talk over the past few months, but it looks as if the only chance of impending doom is for the comet itself: It is disintegrating and quickly fading away. Australian amateur astronomer Michael Mattiazzo has been monitoring this cometas trip toward perihelion (closest point in its orbit to the sun), which occurred on Sept. 10, and he says Comet Elenin has likely has not survived. It's barely visible as a disintegrating smudge in an image taken by Mattiazzo on Wednesday. Comet Elenin a the comet that has created a hoopla of completely nonsensical, non-scientific doomsday predictions a faded dramatically after being hit by a solar flare on Aug. 20, as we reported earlier. Subsequent images revealed a spreading, diffuse coma. It will likely continue to fade and become more diffuse. [/b]

A Wise Man Is Not Cowed By Knowledge But Uses It To Guide Him

Unfortunately, most religious people or theists will reject scientific knowledge with fear of losing their faith.-Fear of evolution-Fear of cosmological theories-Fear of logic and non-christian philosophy.

This Ghost Paid My Transport Fare

Sometime in late 2000, i went to Jamb office to collect my sister's result. While I was sitting waiting to be called, a beautiful girl walked towards me. I really didn't see where she came from. She asked to sit with me and I agreed.So we started talking and at a point she was stroking my thigh. There was this funny feeling I had so I just started muttering a prayer ( still don't know why i did that). We talked and talked and talked. We ended up exchanging addresses.She however insisted on doing the visiting. We later left there together and she paid my transport fare to Obalende from Ikoyi. I returned to school that weekend. As God would have it, my roomate was going to see a friend of his on the same street the girl told me she lived. He promised to check her out.I was shocked when my roomate came back to tell me that the girl in question had been dead for like 2 - 3 yrs. Her family still lived on that street. I eventually met 2 other peole who knew her when she was alive. I was really scared but I prayed about it. I told my sisters but I didn't tell my parents. Sounds like "nollywood stuff" but it happened to me. What do you peple think

@ Bobbyaf ,It is good knowing that there is someone with a sound biblical background here. Nice to have you here bro!!!@leketoye ,It is a fact that you had your experience but the truth is that there is nothing like a ghost (just the wayBobbyaf expositorily pointed out above) .The bible clearly states[i] " it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment." Hebrews 9: 27[/i]

Understanding Religion

I don't think religion should be a problematic problem in Nigeria.Religion is a way of life,it's inborn,it is not some thing you acquire,it is every second activity,how you communicate with your inner being,how you relate with every thing in life including solving problems.Man is the image of God,so you are never far away from him,'we can only exhibit God's attributes if we understand the way he works. You should be able to see,feel and explain it yourself, it causes problem because people don't understand what it's all about,just like so many other things in Africa.

Separating God from religion is the next step up in the spiritual evolution of man.

How Can One Truly Know The True Religion

Religion here means the way by which individuals or group interact, worship, communicate, serve, etc a supreme being(s), God, gods, who is thought to be all powerful or a channel to him thereof.Now there are many religion(christianity, islam, hinduism, ATR etc ). All these religion have some things in common, while in most cases some things are pleasing to the god of one religion is obnoxious to the god of the other.Now, my question is: is these one true religion or several. How do we recognise the true one or the several true ones.Do these god(s) really want us to worship them. If yes are they being worshipped the way they really pleased.Minimise sentiment and apply more of logic with proof in your response.

The true religion is FOOTBALL. Enuff saidThe rules are the same from country to countrywin or loose, u still had a great day at the stadium (except finals lol)you only get small scale fights with hooligans ( not all out war and try to wipe a whole race of people off the planet)you can switch sides easily and not be judged.you can question your managers action and not tagged blasphemousAlthough you still spend money, but in this case you stand the chance of winning season tickets (other religions i think not)if you loose, you're not condemned to burn in hell for eternity. but only condemned to your local pub for a few somber pints =(Although there is a dictator (sepp blater) in this too, but we all agree he is a fcking bender and not perfect in anywaySo much more.....

i will only take them serious when they do a similar thing with islam. I don't respect the views of cowards and hypocrites. Its easy to write a book to slander christianity especially when you will get paid well for it, live the rest of your life a celebrity and not have to worry about fatwahs.Precisely.

Indigenous Religion

Can any of you name one advantage of the foreign religions we adopetd in Africa over our indiginous religions. Ex: What did we gain by adopting a Jewish god or the Arabian prophet that we wouldn't gain in traditional african religions?

What then will you call all those tadatadatada they speak to conjure the spirits? Nigerian language? What is speaking in tongues?I don't know much about tadatadatada but I know that Ifa uses a lot of incantations. Yoruba is a very deep and ancient language and there are many words in the Ifa corpus that are not in common usage today. Also Ifa makes a deal of phonetics. Yet it is yoruba. The deepest yoruba that you will ever hear. Compared to common contemporary yoruba the difference is like the difference between shakespeare (or wordsworth) and nursery rhymes. It is not for nothing that Orunmila is called the master Gbedegbeyo of yoruba. In fact all babalawos are sometimes called gbedegbeyo. I couldn't tell you what speaking in tongues is. I've heard tell that it is speaking the language of angels etc. I couldn't corroborate this for you. But I've heard pentecostal speak in tongues and it sounds nothing like the igedes and ofos that the babalawos incant. These are in yoruba and though you might find one or two words that are ancient or of vague meaning any yoruba speaker will get the jist of what is being said.
