Reading the bible requires us to understand in depth. Do not interpret it literally. The messages of the Lord through the prophets and the Saints need many days to understand them. At first, it is hard to understand, but as you read consistently and excessively and though the guidance of the holy spirit, we gradually understand. I feel the…[Read more]
@Mr Dilkington, Yes , God said, ” I am coming soon to judge the living and the dead, and I am going to judge you according to your deeds.” Meaning if you are a good citizen, good guy, having all the qualities to be called humane, therefore, you might have a better judgment; however, God said: I am your God, do not worship other gods. I am your…[Read more]
@Mr Dilkington,Well, all I can say is the Bible you read is not a bible hehehehe, bible porno,lo,.Mr.Dil, Yes, God Kills, that is why the laws on the land are also the laws of God.Death penalty therefore is not against the law of God for who are killed through death sentence are criminals, and who those God kills are criminals.

I will provide you all with a quote from the book to which you hold so precious, demonstrating that this book should not be used to gauge morality:
“Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked a…[Read more]

I read the Holy Bible when I was doing MA English in 1985 with my whole heart and try to understand it thoroughly but read the bible as you are standing before God because all he holy books ate the gift of God on earth for men and the message of God to men.
We read the bible just to read the stories and do not get the message from the biblical…[Read more]
Nemzie, but I don’t worship any god and I am not lost in the darkness. I lead a good life and I am nice to people, and yet according to your God I will still be punished for not worshiping him. That is pretty ridiculous to me. People can and do live very good lives without worshiping a God. You should not need to rely on a book to tell you what is…[Read more]

@mr. Dilkington, I wanna share what I know about why God is a jealous God.
It is said that God is jealous because He do not want his Children to worship gods and godesses. It’s because He do not want His children to be away from Him. He do not want them to be lost in the darkness.
I have a feeling that you Anitah, like many people, only read the good parts in the bible and forget about how many people God killed out of pettiness. You say that the bible teaches us patience and how to treat people nicely, however I do not need a book to tell me to be nice to people and treat them with respect. Why do you need a book to teach…[Read more]

Wow if i may respond to @ Mr Dilkington fi4st and foremost you can never get enough of the bible, the bible is there to TEACH, CORRECT and CONDEMN us. I dont know what you read that made you get so agitated about God and the bible. But i won’t judge you for we all will be judged by God himself. Back to the question yes i do read my bible everyday,…[Read more]

Cely thats quite a lot of stuff for one to go through on a sturday. Am sure you have been those friends in the same class for a while and before you may not have even thought about them being lazy because you were in uour right mond. Maybe you just need some time out and rest from all the work that you have heard. The mind also gets tired at some…[Read more]

Oh no, those subjects, math that honestly I do not like, especially calculus. Luckily I passed them, hehe.
Regarding your students, maybe ma’am Cely you are too kind and considerate to the point that your students abused it. Maybe ma’am, try to be a little bit strict.
I have read enough of the bible to know that a lot of it is God wiping out and killing many, many people, so I find it strange that you have said that God has too much tolerance for his children. God comes across as petty and jealous, which does not seem like qualities a God would/should have.

@Nemzie Bayawa ,No I won’t give up writing. I been writing articles and blogs for almost 8 years now. I love to write and I consider it my passion. To feel tired in teaching for what I am teaching are difficult subjects like Physics, algebra and calculus. These are the subjects load that I have this semester 2016-2017. That is why, I advise you…[Read more]
@siva, you are right, I was dead tired every Saturday just imagine my class stats at 9 in the morning up to 12 noon.Why call my students stupid despite deduction of 20 points every time they are caught texting,they are still doing the same.They seem passive to their studies or perhaps they just converted themselves to other things because the…[Read more]

@Shavkat hehehe, that is normal feeling my friend. After sometimes, we would just like to laugh at our own past actions…just like the song lyrics: I remember the boy, but I don’t remember the feeling anymore.
Then gradually we will forget our hatred especially if there is something we are busy at, like writing blogs hahaha.Plus, if there is…[Read more]
I am a fan of teachers. I can see how hard there work is during our field study. But as they have said,after imparting what they know to threir students, they gain joy in their heart,most especially if they saw that their students are performing what they’ve learnt.
However, teachers get very tired if most of his/her students are stupid, lazy and…[Read more]

I think you are damn tired with your teaching today. The students’ stupidity has nothing to do with it. They will be good always. Once they pick up some interest they will not do stupid things.
When I was taking up tuitions as a part-time job I was really feeling sorry for the students who do not reply when I pose a question to them. I was…[Read more]
