I don't see any reason for this debate. God is omnipotent. He can do absolutely all things, but he chooses not to do some things. If it can be coceived, then it can be done by him, but will he be willing to do it? That's the question. He can do all things, but he chooses not to do some things. |
Baawahala:After he gets the party ticket from the primary, he will start wooing the masses. Everything is step by step. |
Baawahala:At this meeting he was wooing delegates. He was talking to politicians. |
lexy2014:He will revolutionize Nigeria. |
omowumi9:He was trying to woo delegates here. He was addressing politicians. |
offorjide:When he was acting president he overrode the cabal by sacking Buhari's coursin. Besides it is a president that costitutes his cabal ( also called kitchen cabinet). So, I expect his cabal to be mostly Southerners that he can trust. |
plaindealer:I never for once say they are now paying in rubble. I laid the facts of the case and ended the discussion with you. It was you who made it seem that I did not comprehend the article. I decided to take a minute to show you that I did. From your stance, it is clear to me you are only interested in winning an argument. Let's just agree to disagree. Good night. |
plaindealer:The article tells us what their challenges and assumptions are. It does not tell us that they have overcome the challenges. But from their assumptions, we can gather that they plan to open a rubble account and they plan to pay in either euro or dollar. There is no where in the article where it says they are now paying in euro, dollars or rubble. All the article tells us is their challenges, their assumptions and their intentions. |
plaindealer:If you have comprehended the article, you will see that: 1. EU is struggling to find a way to meet Putin's demand without breaking the rules of the sanction. They are actually struggling to do that according to the article. 2 . EU believes that opening a rubble account in the Russian bank does not break the sanction rule. 3. EU believes depositing Euro or Dollar at the appropriate exchange rate should be satisfactory enough for Putin. 4. Putin is yet to respond to their assumptions. |
plaindealer:All that matters to you is that EU is handling over only euro and dollar to a Russian bank. It doesn't matter to you if Rubble is getting stronger. Well, that's o.k. As for me, I am satisfied that Putin's goal is achieved. Good night. |
plaindealer:Clearly you don't understand forex trading. You are just trying to win an argument. The purpose of this new mechanism is to strengthen the rubble and that purpose has been achieved. Instead of collecting euro or dollar from EU and giving them rubble, then collecting the rubble back from them and then crediting their rubble account, why not just collect euro and dollar from them and crediting their rubble account appropriately. The two process amount to the same thing. At the end of the day demand for rubble increases sharply. The value of rubble increases. Goal achieved. |
plaindealer:Yes they are still paying in euro and dollar, the big deal is that they now have a rubble account. If you understand forex trading, you will realize that this is the same as paying euro or dollar to buy rubble. The big question is this: are they opening in rubble account? If yes, then no matter what currency to they are paying, they are actually buying rubble and paying in rubble in effect. |
plaindealer:In this new arrangement, the EU will open a rubble account in a Russian bank and pay Euro or dollar to buy rubble from a Russian bank an the appropriate exchange rate. Then pay into their Rubble account. To make things faster, the bank will accept Euro and dollar from them and credit their Rubble account with the appropriate Rubble amount at the appropriate exchange rate. It is the same effect as is they bought rubble with Euro and dollar and paid into their Rubble account. This means the demand for rubble will rise sharply. It means the bank will work behind the seen to source for rubble for them. Rubble will rise sharply. It is true they are still paying in euro and dollar, but the mechanism for the payment has changed. The new mechanism will increase demand for rubble thereby increasing t the value or rubble. |
Uprightness100:Sorry.I had modified the post after I saw a post with good explanation. INTERSEX are the amaphrodites while TRANSGENDER are those who surgically changed their sex from male to female or female to male. But really there are people who are actually born with both sex organ. Please Google INTERSEX to learn about them. They are born amaphrodites. |

Faithful007:What?!!! Coal is an essential and unavoidable raw material in the production of iron and steel in a blast furnace. One doesn't even need to have a degree in chemistry to know this. Please see the links below. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/coking-coal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace |
Maxymilliano:One doesn't have to be necessarily called before he can become a pastor. It is very scriptural to disire the office of a pastor. It is very scriptural to be appointed into the office of a pastor. 1 Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. The word translated bishop there is from the Greek word "episkopos" which means "overseer" which in the context is the same as pastor. |

@1Sharon the below may help you understand why Christians are children of Abraham. Galatians 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Romans 4:11 And he (Abraham) received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. Being a child of Abraham has nothing to do with physical birth. Christians are Abraham's children not in the Biological sense but in the spiritual sense.Only the Jews are Abraham's children in the Biological sense. The scriptures above tell us that those who have (saving) faith in Jesus Christ are Abraham's children ( but not in the biological sense). I hope the above does help you in understanding it. |

1Sharon: Yes it does detract from the validity, you said this:No, it does not detract from the validity of my submissions. The purpose of statement is to counter the claim that Jews do not believe Abraham is their father. The percentage of people people practising Judaism does not negate the fact that the children of Abraham know they they are children of Abraham. It is not a matter of religion, it is a matter of knowing one's root. A great many do not practise Judaism in the way you think. They follow the Talmud(a book that mocks and derides your jesus) in addition to the Torah.This is not relevant to this discussion. They never accepted Jesus during his earthly days. In fact they they were responsible for his death. Israel is dear to God?Tell me one reason I should believe you rather than my Bible. The bible says it, I believe it , and that settles it. Please[b] stop being a follow follow sheep, you can still practise religion with sense abeg[/b]. If Israel is dear to God, why is he not dear to the Israelis ? Perhaps they see something you don't. Remember that the Bible is about the Jewish customs, traditions and cultures. You are an Africa in Africa, you cannot claim to know better than the Jewish people and their tribal god-yahweh.I will appreciate it if you refrain from insult in any discussion with me. The bolded is not appropriate.Why are you asking me questions that I have answered in earlier post? Israel is dear to God because of his covenant with Abraham.And no the Bible is not all about Jewish customs and tradition. Only a percentage of it has to do with custom and tradition. The bible is a book about the creation of man, the fall of man, and about how Good executed his plan to save man Stop the Jewish veneration. They aren't your friends. They don't like Christians the way you like them.Well Bible says they are dear to God. You might want to work towards edition the bible e to exclude parts that talks of God's love for Israel. One thing is certain about you: you don't understand Christianity. I suggest that you start reading the new testament so that you can understand Christianity. Go and read why the derogatory word for them "kike" is related to their christophobia.Why do you asking questions that I have answered? The Jews never accepted Christ even in bibt days. The even got him crucified. That does stop God from valueing them because they are children of Abraham with whom God made an everlasting covenant. I thought you need to accept Jesus into your heart to be his child?I don't understand the purpose of this. In summary, I think you should read the Bible, especially the new testament so that you understand Christianity. Your questions all poit out to one thing: you don't understand stand Christianity. Jesus once told the Saduccees," You err because you know not the scriptures nor the power of God." I am telling you the same thing now. |
1Sharon: The Bible is not a history book.You may have to tell this to archeologist who have been working tirelessly down the ages to locate the site of events that occured in the Bible. You are not a CHILD OF ABRAHAM. Abraham comes from YOU.Tell me one good reason why I should believe you rather than my Bilbe. You know what I think you should do? Read the Bible. The Bible has answer to your questions. Colonization was a success!You have a right to your opinion, but that doesn't change the truth. Truth is truth. |

I wish you the best |
1Sharon:All right thanks. I'll find time to double check the validity of your chart. For now I accept it. If I find it not to be valid I will let you know . I couldn't even find the name "Judaism" on the chart. Is it that the percentage is lower than that of Christianity or there is another name for it there like the " traditional" religion? I have always believed that there are more Judaist in Israel than christians. I believe it important to state here that this chart does not detract from the validity of my submissions on this thread . Like I said Christian's believe that Israel is dear to God and his plans because they are children of Abraham not that they believe that it is a Christian country. Yes, indeed Israel are God's people because of the Covenant God had with Abraham which is an everlasting Covenant . Right now Israel is in the falling away state which is incidentally also a Gentile dispensation. This means his focus right now is saving the gentiles that is why Christianity is spreading and more active in the Gentiles world . After the dispensation of the Gentiles , God will execute his plans to save Isreal . So, every thing is on course as far as the nation of Israel concerned. So, all Isreal shall be saved. Romans 11:26 And [b]so all Israel shall be saved: [/b]as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. @1Sharon Ignore the scriptures above if you don't like them. They are more for others following the thread . |
1Sharon:Sorry, I don't really understand the purpose of this mention. Do you mind telling me? |
Ladyhippolyta88:Of course I do believe it. There are scriptural references for everything I said. I did not quote them because I didn't want the post to be too long. By the way, the fact that a great many Isrealis practice Judaism means they believe Abraham is their father. Judaism is based on the old testament. The old old testament contains accounts of the dealings of God with Abraham,Isaac and Jacob and his dealings with their ancestors who came out of Egypt to the promise Land. I'll tell you what I find difficult to believe: it is that there are Isrealites who do not believe that Abraham is their father. It would have been nice if you had quoted a reputable source to support that your claim. Since, I cannot refute the claim, hence my explanation above. I'll tell you one more thing I find difficult to believe, that there were Europeans who followed them to start a new nation of Israel in 1948. It really would have been nice if you had quoted a credible source on that. Well, since I cannot refute that, hence my explanation above. I do know for certain that before the new state of Israel was formed, their were Jews in almost every nation of Europe. There were German Jews, French Jews, English Jews, Polish Jews etc. There were even American Jews. I wish you a pleasant evening. |
Ladyhippolyta88:Sorry this is coming a little bit late. If we go by Biblical prophecies we have every reason to believe that the people presently occupying the Isrealites"s territory are the the Isrealites of the Bible. It is possible that some people of European came along with them in 1948 there is nothing wrong with that. When they were leaving Egypt for the promise Land , there went with them a mixed multitude of people of other nations who were not Hebrews. If you are familiar with the old testament you will know that God permits foreigners, willho are willing to worship Jehovah according to the laws and ordinances that Moses gave them, to dwell among them. God in fact gave laws and ordinances for the protection of foreigners who choose to live among them. During the old testament days, there were people living with the Isrealites who were not Hebrews because they tricked Joshua and the leaders of Isreal to make a covenant with them not to kill them. Saul during his days tried to eliminate these people but God became angry with Isreal because of it and israel was plagued. During the new testament period, there were a particular people living in the land of Isreal who were not Jews. These people were called Samaritans. Jews do not interact with them, because they were not Jews; yet they called Abraham there father. If you are familiar with the Gospels you will remember the account of how Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well who he asked water of and who he eventually preached to along with her Samaritan Community. What I am trying to drive at is this: non-jews living with the Jews in Isreal as citizens is not a new occurrence. It has been happening since Bible days. If you have taken time to study the Bible you will realise that God fulfils his words( or prophecies) through innocent circumstances. At the time Mary was heavily pregnant with Jesus, there was a decree from the Roman Government that every Isrealites should return to their native town for a census. Joseph and Mary who were not residents of Bethlehem, their native town, had to travel to Bethlehem for the Census. Well, she and her husband got stuck there until she had to deliver her baby in Bethlehem fulfilling the prophecy that the Christ will be born in Bethlehem. Time will not permit me, if not I would have given you instances upon instances were Good fulfilled prophecies through innocent circumstances. The point is I am trying to drive home is that creating the nation of Isreal in 1948 may look like an innocent circumstance, yet it is Good working to fulfil prophecies. The same explanation holds for naming the new state Isreal instead of Zion. You said there Isrealis who believe they are not descendants of Abraham. This is quite possible, because not every Isreali is a descendant of Abraham as explained above. This has nothing to do with Bible or religion, it is a matter of knowing one's root. For instance, there is a group in the Niger Delta who speaks Igbo language , but maintains they are not Igbos. My own people speak Yoruba language but we are not Yorubas. All children of Abraham know their root. While Christians are children of Abraham by faith, Isrealites are children of Abraham according to the flesh. The reason why Isreal has a special place in the heart and plan of God is because of the Covenant that God made with Abraham. Bible tells us that it is an everlasting Covenant. Because Abraham obeyed the voice of God and kept his end of the Covenant, God is under bound to keep his own end of the Covenant. He is a covenant keeping God. That is why no matter how much Israel as a nation strays from God, God will never abandon them. |
1Sharon:They are God's own people because they are offspring of Abraham. God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham. Since you don't appreciate reference to the Bible, just take my words for it. |
Ladyhippolyta88:I don't understand this your post. Do you mind clarifying it? What is delusion here? Isrealites are the offspring of Abraham. If you have read the Bible you would realise that the Isrealites have done worse than the attrocities mention here ever since the old testament periods. Many times they stopped believing in God and worshipped idols. They even started emulating other nations around them by offering their children to molech. The practised homosexuslity. What God did each time their attrocities reached Astronomical dimensions was to evict them from the land of Isreal through defeal war and scatter them into the different nations of the world through captivity. Each time they repent and call on him he returns them back to their land. What is happening in Isreal now is nothing new. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the people in Isreal now are not the offspring of Abraham. Even if none of them believe in Jehovah, that I'd still not enough proof . I am quite aware that many Isrealites are Muslims, many are atheists, and many practice Judaism. That still means nothing. Bible has clearly stated that Isreal is currently in the period of falling away until the dispensation of the Gentiles is over. This means that God is at the moment focusing on the Salvation of Gentiles while they wallow in attrocities. |
