For sometime now the activities of Bitcoin mixers and their rates in the exchange platforms have been a concern in this forum. Though the basic principles of businesses is to make gains but the percentages taken by Bitcoin mixers seem to be one sided in gains.

For sometime now , experts Believe that, Nigeria's current Economic problem are caused by that increase in the transaction and other exchange rates and charges, which  devalues the country's currency. It is on this reason that, about seven exchange platforms have been banned and their operators arrested.

Some of these platforms included Binance, Octafx,  cryptocurrency and others , this is aimed at making the Nigerian Naira gain value to reduce the current economic hardships on Nigerians but, those at the gaining end seem to be reluctant and indifferent about the impact of their charges and interest rates on the larger population of Nigerians.

Do you actually think , the current Economic Problems of Nigeria are caused by the activities of the exchange market as seen by experts and what should be done to reduce the current economic hardship. Mind you, this decisions directly affects this forum.

Let's discuss the way out for crypto lovers.

The fast rise in the cost of living among average citizens has come to be a burden to all citizens. Many attributes this inflation to the rise of dollar. But one can easily wonder how locally produced goods are directly affected by the dollar that is used at the international market.

What we lack in Nigeria is price regulation and monitoring to check mate the constant price monopoly by the marketers and producers. As federal government has failed , state governors should capitalize on indigenous production and distribution.

[1. The Social Traditional Practice]

Why traditionalists live longer in age than Christains is an argument that has bothered minds however, christainity over time has tamed the curiosity of Christains with some bible citations, such as God takes the righteous early to avoid a sinful world. Then they make reference to Christ who lived 40 years. Apart from traditionalists living longer than Christains , other questions such as why none Christains are more successful in life than Christains with all the promises of riches, good life and prosperity.

Nevertheless, the reasons as to why Traditionalists lives longer than Christains can be explained in two ways.

1. The Social Traditional Practice
The social Traditional Practice as a principle of social conduct detest civilization and science, beleivers and scholars of the traditional institution believe that, science and it's inventions are dangers to the human social security and existence. For instance, the invention of harmful preservatives and chemicals as solutions to human satisfaction or medicines to human illnesses endangers human beings core existence.

Traditionalists believe that, it is what humans take into their stomach as parts of scientific inventions that is eliminating our natural existence. In other words, Traditionalists prefer natural and unprocessed food products and consumables that lacks artificial chemical compounds.
https://www.facebook.com/RobertDavisHealthySkeptic/videos/1000321431311259/?mibextid=jtWzXIAxfKx1VBOC

Traditionalists prefers natural means of consumption, generally, they strongly holds unto the believe that , living a good live is in its natural resources so, they intend to preserve nature and it's practices.

2. Christain Principles of social living.
Their focus is more on moral grounds rather than healthy living, in fact Christains believe what man consume cannot defile him or endanger their health without poisoning. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.bibleref.com/Matthew/15/Matthew-15-11.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi_iaOPnoyEAxXcaEEAHdjcDHgQFnoECAUQAw&usg=AOvVaw0_55ob9Dq4OFom6A6ks2jT. Christains also think, the only thing that can kill a man is based on what they say with their mouth https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.biblestudytools.com/proverbs/18-21.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi_iaOPnoyEAxXcaEEAHdjcDHgQFnoECAEQDQ&usg=AOvVaw2JV8L5XQUvgUGtkMyvJMX0 . These are some of the reasons why Christains don't care about the health issues related to what they consume. Although Christains in the health profession are aware of these challenges but, they don't believe in the effectiveness of the traditional herbs , even at that, they have not totally abandoned some of the chemical foods and foods with preservatives. This is majorly the cause of most untimely deaths caused by sickness.

Unavoidably, processed foods and foods with harmful preservatives and chemicals have dominated society dues to scientific inventions of preservatives , ingredients for foods made with chemicals, the fast rise of fast foods and eateries. This has made it difficult to escape these death traps.

[Glory Reign]

In today's being the second day of the Glory Reign program, the general overseer of the Salvation Ministry Church, Pastor David Ibiyomie said, those who renders services in the church that are paid will never escape poverty.

-How True is This?

1 Timothy 5:18 , Luke 10: 7, Matthew 10:10 : The bible said a workman is worthy of his wages, the bible instructed that , the church should pay it elders and workers especially those that are teaching in the church.
https://www.dwellcc.org/essays/new-testament-principles-church-finance

Although pastors are humans therefore does not have the feature of infallibility but, they should make more researches to issues rather than putting their emotions into interpreting the bible.

The Winners Chapel in 2022 employed pastors on a payroll of 40,000 Nigerian Naira, does Ibiyomie mean his mentor , David Oyedepo is wrong or Jesus is wrong? Of course no and there is no such curse of poverty placed on church workers.

How does the church want a family man who is dedicated to the church work to survive to continue working in the church.

Do you think Ibiyomie is right?

The most abusive forum members as I have noticed are the legendary members. I noticed it in their replies to posts or contributions to posts.

Do we agree that it is a feeling of pride that they have superior knowledge on issues than others because of their ranking?

They are most times emotional and personal in their contributions to issues of public concern.

Who else is noticing this attitude as a newbie or member?

[Major Point of the Conflict]

The war between Israel and Gaza is seen as both religious and socio-Political war that has stayed for close to a century.

After the fall of the Ottoman empower in the Palestine region, Britain took control of the Palestinian region with two opposite religious settlements : the Palestinian Arab majority and the Palestinian Jews minority.

There were pockets of conflicts on land disputes was there before the British government proposed to build a National home for the Jews Palestinian minorities at the league of Nations Conference in 1922.

-Major Point of the Conflict
The Jews minority believed that , the land where the National Home of the Jews was to be built, is their ancestral inheritance while the Arab Palestinians rejected.

In 1940, there was increase in the persecution of the Jews and the Arabians in Europe, this increased the hostility against the British rule and in an attempt to leave the politics and governance of the Jews and Arabians, the British government made an attempt to split  the Jews and the Arabians but was rejected by the Arabian majority to sustain their land.

As at 1948, the Jews declared an independent state of Israel an the minority Palestinians became an extension of Jordan from the West Bank while, the Palestinian Arabs became part of the Egyptian state. This event fostered the biblically recorded conflict between Israel and Egypt.

Several peace talks have been initiated to bring to an end the war between the Jews and the Palestinians in 1990 but, all efforts have hit bricks.

- The Western Sentiment
Since the start of this land dispute between the Israelites and the Islamic Emirate city of Gaza began, America, Britain and other Christain international states have taken side against Gaza. So far the rise of a militant group( Hamas)  to carry on the war with Israel has taken the war to a new dimension since it's formation in the 1980s.

Firstly, the declaration of Hamas as a terrorist group by the UN security council favoured the Israeli forces and created international assistance.

Since after the declaration of the Hamas group as a terrorist group, the U.S, EU and other western powers have condemned the activities of Hamas and have assisted the Israeli government with over 200bn dollars to fight the war against the Muslims.

- Who Actually Owns the Palestinian Region
The Jews sacred documents have shown that, after the Jews political captivity in Egypt for four censuries , at the gain of political freedom, they occupied a land already occupied by people and forcefully laid claim to the land by belief on divine mission to take over.

The land known as Canaan was situated in the territory of the southern Levant, which today encompasses the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, and the southern portions of Syria and Lebanon. These are Arabic Islamic settlements before the coming of Israelites to settle there.
https://www.penn.museum/sites/canaan/LandandTime.html

Deuteronomy 31:1-8 showed how Joshua the leader of the exodus from Egypt led the people to take over territory they termed promised Canan land. Joshua 23 reads how Joshua shared the conquard lands among the 12 tribes of Israel as the leader of the people.
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Joshua

-The Possible Solution to the War.
So far all efforts to settle the land dispute has proved abortive , however the settlement attempts have not been fruitful because the Western allies of Israel have not been fair to Gaza because of their religious allegiance to Israel.

There are only three ways to end the Israel - Gaza war.

1. Monetary compensation to Gaza to buy off the lands occupied by the Jews.

2. It is also advisable for Gaza to resort to go the international criminal court of Justice.

3. Or relinquish the political control of the territory to Gaza and ensure the gradual relocation of the people.

[Price Regulatory Mechanisms: The Solution to the Economic Hardship in Countries]

Price Regulatory Mechanisms: The Solution to the Economic Hardship in Countries

The basic principle of businesses and productions is making of gains for the advancement of that business and life. In most cases , state economic systems determine the constant increase in the prices of goods that leaders to the hardship.

In political Economies, three factors generally leads to price increment.

1. Increase in Petroleum products, the increase in fuel , diesel prices automatically increases the price of transportation and distribution of goods across state boarders.

2. The forces of Demand,  when there excess demand for a product, an artificial scarcity is created which places value on the product. This scarcity is artificially created by two means - There could be scarcity created by shortage in the production and distribution process or short of the product in the market over a period of time.

3. Supply Chain, the supply forces are most times influenced by the increment in petroleum products and other motor body parts, the cost of transportation as the major means of distribution and supply greatly affects the price of goods , which makes it hard for individuals to easily purchase such products.

These factors are greatly affect in times of war and conflicts. For instance inflation the Russia - Ukrainian war.

 https://www.statista.com/statistics/296164/ukraine-inflation-rate/

The Nigeria civil war of 1967 -1970 ended as a result of the artificial scarcity and inflation that was caused by the Nigerian Government. Nigeria's inflation increased from 0.3% to near 10.5% inflation rate in 1967 to near 20% by 1970, the afterward effect of that war raised inflation to over 20% from 1974.

https://www.funtimesmagazine.com/2023/01/15/423779/the-nigerian-civil-war-against-biafra

What will the government do to reduce inflation and hardship among the citizens that are complaining especially countries with such unbearable inflation's.

What states and countries needs is an effective price regulation body and law on certain areas that directly affects the citizens.

1. Petroleum products Price Regulatory Board (PPPRB) is an essential component that need to improve on its effectiveness especially in the Nigerian economy for instance, component states also need the same board in regulating the price and behaviours of petroleum product marketers , like the petroleum task force of states that will be effective enough to regulate the constant increment of prices of petroleum products.

2. House Rents, in many African countries, house rents are increased by landlords at will whenever they like , thereby putting an undue pressure on tenants especially in urban areas. This pressure and hardship has also lead to decrease in population or urban - Rural Migration.

3.Electricity Price Regulation, Power supply in most African countries are privately produced and distributed , so prices of electricity tariff increases at every point for the purpose of making gains.

4. Externalities such as consumable, externalities are essential products or goods man cannot do without. Government of states and countries should create a task force to regulate the powers of monopoly on such products.

In another way, governments should be the producers of some of these products , the distributor and retailer of these products in order to drag down the monopoly of the private hands.

[ELONCOIN: An Emerging Idea of Global Virtual Currency]

ELONCOIN: An Emerging Idea of Global Virtual Currency

Globalization in political Economies simply means unifying component units into a single entity for the purpose of strengthening the currency through the market forces. currently countries over the world are introducing digital currencies to strengthen the paper currencies across the globe.

This ís because, digital or virtual currencies are the more stable than most of the paper currencies . Over time , technology and innovations are becoming more sophisticated thereby creating a world artificial intelligence.

Nigeria for instance adopted the Enaira and the Ewallet idea to strengthen the naira paper currency. Elon Musk as a global innovator may venture into the introduction of the ELONCOIN as a way of providing a two way virtual currency denominations.

Similar to this is the Zuga coin which was introduced by Arch Bishop Sam Zuga. Though the Zuga coin faced criticism because of the challenge of global acceptance like the Bitcoin, this can be handled since the ELONCOIN company is already a known brand in this global forum.

Global domination is within the armpits of economy, technology and politics, it is on these grounds individuals strife to maintain wealth and power to sustain a global standard and rating.

It is time for the launching of Eloncoin to the world economy. This will be possible through strategic global partnership with owners of Blockchains , google , Amazon, apple and other trading platforms.

We look forward to a world of Eloncoin which will stand competitively with other virtual currencies in the exchange markets and trading platforms.

What is your opinion please.

[Identification of possible investment]

There is no investment that is totally risk free, likewise there is no investment that feature only gains

Therefore, as a crypto investor, have it at the back of your mind that , there might be losses or gains.

But then there are principles to apply as investment risk management for every professional investor.

1. Identification of possible investment: Here the investmentor must think through the business and the risks that might be likely faced such as fall in prices, scam schemes or delayed disbursement and other related problems.

2. Analysing of possible investment: A professional investor must analyse the possible or suspected risks of investment in that particular business. It is a practice of trying to foresee the possible losses or gains.

3. The investor must plan down possible risk control mechanisms to prepare the groups for possible updates.

4. Then finance the business: In financing business, the capital must be within the dictates of the risks foreseen. In this way, there will be minimum losses.

Rational investment is the basis for healthy business existence.

Many investments have faced collapsed due to irrational investments. Sometimes when a business is faced with multiple investment opportunities that are juicy and enticing, investors like to grab all the available opportunities.

This singular act of wanting to get all the Business opportunities at a time, makes business owners takes the wrong decision of using the entire savings or capital of the business to grab all the available opportunities.

Wrong investment choices arising from such greed has left businesses face threats of collapse or has left to total collapse of businesses in the event of business failure.

Many juicy and enticing investment opportunities with massive reward or output are usually fake and fraudulent. Therefore a good business manager does not hope to empty business accounts to grab opportunities.

What they usually do is Rationing of investment opportunities. Many crypto traders or investors have made these wrong business plans over time , leading to the total collapse.

In crypto Trading and Rationing Principle, a crypto trader must rationalize his investment by creating an opportunity cost( which investment must be fulfilled before another. By this crypto traders will have the opportunity of hold up to something in the event of disappointment or business failure or loss of gain in most cases.

As part of the rationing Principle, a crypto trader should invest only his profit or surplus value from an investment deal.

Every crypto trader must know even as a beginner that, wealth is not made in a day and that is why rationing investments is important , the completion of one business deal leading to another on time schedules.

Feel free to state your opinion.

Since after the emergence of the BBC Documentary about some of the activities of TB. Joshua not known to the public was made public, several views have been made.

The arguments on the truth is currently dominated by pro-TB Joshua and anti-TB Joshua supporters.

Most of the narratives takes the form of paid scripts and perspectives on the nature of the man TB. Joshua. For instance, all the witnesses believe that he does not have human sympathy.

This believe seem to be a lie, not taking into account the humanitarian services he was giving when he was alive.

Though many Christain beleivers thinks a man of God should be above the human desires and realm but, they forget that, even pastors are human beings with social and emotional desires.

The knowledge on the reality of the Christain religion is what many Christains don't understand because , the church do not take proper account of the biblical history or the Abrahamic account of human social existence as contained in Genesis.

Christainity is a child of Judaic birth, it was from the same Judaism that Christainity came to be. Judaism is the traditional institution of the Jews and in this religion , all the Revelations shared by these confessionist does not sound strange, sleeping with many women and still be serving God is a normal thing among traditional religions.

It is important to know that , with knowledge from the bible schools, one could understand that, Christainity is powerless without tradition and mysticity. The source of power of christainity is the root source of christainity from which it was established.

The Jews God as a traditional God was powerful with magic , read the accounts of Moses challenging the Egyptian priests .

Jesus came with a branded perception to Judaism from the aspect of a religious philosopher like Martin Luther that made changes to the belief system. Originally, Christainity is not a religion, it is just a name tag, the original religion is Judaism.

Society has placed so much expectations on priests of God as infallible and upright examples others must copy from behaviourally. These human expectations seem to undermine the humanity in men or those priests.

For me , TB. Joshua as a pastor is also a human being with needs and feelings as a man of Judaic worship.

However, what interests many was his giving spirit and the accuracy in predictions and prophecies. Sexuality is a normal human need that is not connected on the termination of his source of power (Judaism).

As far as whatever that was alleged never got connected with blood sacrifices or the cult worship, the interest of many for the man TB Joshua remains intact.

What do you think about the BBC confessions about TB. Joshua, do you think they are true or not?

[The Islam, Christianity and the tradition, each of the domains stands on a philosophical tune of rejections and acceptances of what is termed good or bad on either moralistic grounds of society or established dictates of these religions.]

The dialectics of individual beliefs and practices are usually built on three major domains in the Nigerian context. The Islam, Christianity and the tradition, each of the domains stands on a philosophical tune of rejections and acceptances of what is termed good or bad on either moralistic grounds of society or established dictates of these religions.
 
Over the years Christian history has failed to justify the concept of belief but, the Christian history and its influence of power has somehow dominated the meaning and affiliation of belief within this purview, careful views of the concept has declared belief mostly a Christian concept due to the large number of believers. What seems to be dynamic about the concept belief is the language disparity in explaining the concept.

Belief in terms is an '' affirmation of identity, emotional commitment, belonging and authenticity within a sacred community.  In sum up, belief is  a matter of confessional affiliation, most often whether the believers were Catholic or Protestant; in others it is a matter of attitude of the Church(es) or the Clergy, in particular whether the church men were pro- 0r anti-clerical and yet others saw religion from behavioural? Criterion, in particular whether or not (or how frequently) the church men attended religious services.

Thoughts can live only on grounds which we adopt in the service of a reality to which we submit. These dynamics are further illustrated by moral somatic processes . By this, it means to explain the use of variances in the explanations and meanings of the concept "belief". In other words, belief could be adopted or accepted thoughts of morality and social ethics in what human hold as reality.

A concept of interpretive drift on the nature of belief posited that, belief is a gradual transition from the suspension of disbelief to a period of submission to a circle of thoughts, emotion, interpretation and commitment which develops the role of imagination.

He further argued that, the imagination and affirmation which causes belief enables voluntary determination to involuntary determination of individuals arising from visual and auditory experiences of individuals.

The voluntary determination is caused by a conscious effort to belief while, the involuntary determination causes an unconscious or unintended effort to belief and defend it.

For a belief to be established in an individual, there must be a conscious rejection of some issues of doubt for the acceptance of emotional and interest attachments. The human emotions and interests toward a particular religion set in sentiments that causes defense of that religion.

Despite the dividable nature of human, individual still exists at the level of social, relational or inter-subjective views. Even with the true nature of this fact, individuals are distinct in point of views and experiential.

Man, not only as a social, cultural and historic being is a thinking being that is informed with orientations about the world and engagements with that pattern of orientation.

These orientations which are either thoughts or experiences about physical and spiritual existence leads to Some physical engagements or practices of worship or rites. The engagement in human made Carlise to see belief  as a subjective Commitment to observed truth or what human hold as truth.

The observed truths are from the social-cultural ground of norms and principles of conduct that are observed within a Committee of beliefs and these physically or abstractly observed truths of human social-cultural conducts and environment creates a belief in society.

One of the contentions is the issue that is still fresh is the reality of belief In describing the reality of human belief, it will not be out of place to ask what makes man believe that, what makes up his bclief pattern is real.

The reality of mans' belief remains a belief that lacks realistic evidence but. that depends on the imagination, imagery and self conviction without realistic evidence. What makes the reality of belief are mind pictures, audio, audio-visual experiences of man causing brainwaves and visions, circumstantial experiences that are beyond human semantic comprehension.

In the Nigerian context, belief systems are uniquely distinctive among individuals in the three major religions What seems to be relative is their conceptualization of "God'" as an invisible existence and being in an abstract realm, His/Her supremacy above the human physical existence. The interpretive variances and perceptions on concepts and interest seem to be a problem as all religions carries out imaginations in accordance with self accepted and evaluated norms or ethics of practice. Commonly what forns religion in Nigeria like other third world nations starts from the gradual suspension of disbelief to a state of observation of supreme existence or super natural beings.

The answer to the topic of discussion is "YES" . Nigeria is not only under the British rule but, we are under the rule of the first and second world powers.

Neo-colonialism is a concept of governance or principle that  stipulates and promote an indirect capturing and domination of the processes of governance and economy of former colonial territories or states.

Neo-colonialism is mostly an economic domination of formerly colonized areas by their former colonial masters through modern means of economics.

Imperialism and Neo-colonialism started it's foundation in Nigeria as the former Royal Niger Company. The company had the authority of the royal seal to extract and export the natural resources of Nigeria to England for the advancement of their economy and industrial productions.

The system of governance adopted our traditional institution on two grounds 1. For language interpretation and 2. Resistance by the people. This whole adoption was for administrative convinence band elimination of resistance.

The native people became part of the exploitation process of themselves and their generations which we are seeing today. The introduction of the traditional institution into the process for the British government to rule the people through the chiefs and kings, the process provided,  An elite class that  became marchants  through incorporation into this evil of exploitation.

And after the gain of independence, the Nigerian state is still exploited through multinational corporations and companies Like Shell and Chevron, where our people are kept at the levels of artisans and administrators while , they bring their people as technical expartes.

In most cases like the days of colonialism, our people are kept as administrative heads in supporting the transfer of our resources to Europe and America for processing and reintroduction into Nigeria as finished goods.

The end tale of this arrangement is that, Nigeria becomes the source of their raw materials and their market. With this pattern, Nigerians are used to kill the idea of indigenization, production and distribution to show their loyalty to the western imperialist and to keep their administrative positions in those companies.

We must liberate ourselves through enlightenment. Your contributions please.

Rapid growth and development are two essential desires of societies within the third world countries. But corruption had become the only problem to those desires among underdeveloped countries.

Global rating shows African countries especially Nigeria as one of the top most corrupt countries among others including Zimbabwe. The peculiarity of the highest in corruption index is Zimbabwe dollars by all evidence.

In an attempt to be richest among successive governments in the country, currency changes were used to amass excessive wealth. Successive governments introduced higher denominations of currencies up to trillions which caused over 300% inflation rate and complete collapse of the economy. The country has abandoned their currency due to bloated production of the currency in excess, from the onset, in order to allow excessive looting, the monetary policy allowed an excessive inflow and outflow of cash without regular of circulation.

Corruption affects development through inflation, inflation in turn is determined by the greedy forces of production, supply . Those who owns the means of production and distribution monopolizes the price control system to get richer.

So as the low and middle classes struggle to meet the needs provided by the wealthy, they get poorer while , the rich get richer through the exploitative manipulation of the price system. This is one way the development of societies are affected because, only few could be able to get properties and develop themselves.

Corruption in Nigeria and other African countries , corruption runs in a structural pattern . The political class installs people in positions to get returns. In that way , the system is dominated by a clique of allies with one ideology to protect each other's source of wealth.

Corruption in countries are in different forms.

1. Sex for job
2. Buying of job opportunities
3. Nepotism
4. Favouritism
5. Money Laundering or siphoning
6. Bribery.

Among all the fifth item is the major cause of under elopement in Nigeria and other countries. Culture and tradition places a minor role to development in only rural communities where they resist certain development to preserve lands and other historical properties.

In the time past , several ideas have suggested solutions to the problem of underdevelopment in Nigeria. In 2014, the Nigerian Government suggested Restructuring political powers and administration.

So far all the suggestions have failed and obviously, there will not be changes until, the Chinese communist system of administration is adopted.

A public or political leader must not acquire certain properties and nut not be richer than a certain net worth, with a stipulation of death penalty ( death by hanging). This will certainly stop the excessive looting and siphoning of public funds.

What do you think?

Machiavelli like other scholars was a radical scholar that hated the conduct of the church due to its weak role in uniting Italy.

The Italian political system had an invasion of new economic order of industrialization and it's imperial powers, the constructive forces of unity were over powered for new economic forces to strive.

The economic powers decentralized the concentrated Italian monarchical authority that needed a centralized system of unity, as at the time of Machiavelli, the Italian State was divided into five large states of Milan, Naples, Venice, republic of Florence and the Papal city state at the center which symbolically was the city of power presided by the Pope.

Though the church was able to perfect a consolidated political system but, the church was more concerned about the worldly and materialistic interest of retaining the political authority of the central Italy.

The Machiavellian interest on the separation of the secular politics from morality or the church was first considered for the preservation of the sanity of the state must be without any sentiment of good or bad.

Though Machiavelli hated the Catholic Papacy as the brain behind the disunity of the Italian State, this according to Machiavelli was as a result of the materialistic and political pursuit of the Papacy.

What was preferred is the political utility of the Church in a Secular state. In a similar view, the spiritual authority of the church should be independent while using the state power for administration and adjudication of justice.

Scholarstic view on the nature of the state described the state as a political entity with no norality in politics.

The state has no relationship with the church and it should be morally isolated from any other obligation outside the religious obligation of maintaining and producing virtuously upright citizens for the state.

As it has been made clear by Machiavelli who saw the morality question in Secular politics as fowl and fowl as morally fair.

Then the questions the church of Christ need to answer from the above views of Machiavelli is whether, the church should be involved with the unfair plays of the state politics, to divide the church, to gain materialistic patronage.

Although individual conduct in social, religious and political setting are geared toward creating means of materialistic achievements, the church must not be part of this crave as an instrument of divine institution with all embodiments of holiness.

The conflicting prophecies that are somehow at variance with the majority expectations of the church, have continued to be means of division within the Christian faith.
