MC Usman:
Yah boy i am begining to enjoy the show.

Is that a mask for your confusion and shame of face?

Nwando, there is no guarantee o jare.
When is the conference?

morenike09:
the italicized one sure describes you jare

I humbly agree.

Fig Tree (Sensibility)
Very strong minded, a bit self-willed, honest, loyal, independent, hates contradiction or arguments, hard worker when wants to be, loves life and friends, enjoys children and animals, sexually oriented, great sense of humour, has artistic talent and great intelligence.

I'm a fig tree . . . boy every single trait there describes my personality to the T. Wow!
I highlight the ones that stuck out to me the most.

Smile4ken, makes 2 of us jare. Lets console each other.
All my uncles and aunts plus my mum gather and start speaking igbo while we look on in envy. All my mum says is "well i tried to teach you" . . . does the occassional nmirri oku qualify as teaching igbo?

@4him
Just because you don’t understand the kind of relationship I have with God doesn’t mean I ain’t got one.

Dont get me wrong . . . i'm only trying to point out the truth as i know it is in the bible not to criticise u.
Jesus Christ was specific when He said . . . I am the way, the truth and the life, NO MAN cometh to the Father but BY ME.

You cant have it any clearer than that. Any other "kind of relationship" is a waste of time outside of Christ.
And if i may declare from the bible, a "relationship" with God outside the bible is a waste of ur precious time.

Gamine:
No, not You Mr 4Him.

I just wundered about the word, you wrote it twice
thats all.

oh ok. Yeah i just checked it, my mistake. Thanks.

My mom: You see, normal children . . . _{that was the signal to start yawning}
. . . that is what we are saying.
. . . a normal child.
. . . if you like break your head on the wall.
. . . When we were your age.
. . . If i catch you ehn

My dad: When your friends see the scratches on your body they will know a lion lives in this house.
. . . quickly, quickly.
. . . You'll see what i'll do for you this night.

Gamine:
Deciet?
a new word?


The Audacity of Foolishness, i can't comprehend

I want to very very seriously believe that last line was not refering to me in any way possible.
That above was a typo . . .

blkmum . . . na wa.
The bible was not written in English language . . . so shld we throw KJV into the sea and buy a hebrew bible?
the songs of praise we sing were not the ones written in the bible . . . what do u suggest we do?
We attend church on sunday, there were no gregorian calendars in the days of Christ.

There are so many things the bible did not write down that we do today which is not a sin. On the last day you wont be judged on whether or not u killed a fowl for easter.

tRoOE:
@4him
There is nothing absorb in what I wrote, and who are you to judge me in the way am worshipping God.

What you wrote is absurd from the viewpoint of the bible not mine. Funny how anytime you point out the hypocrisy of others they quickly jumpp on the "who are you to judge" bandwagon. I'm not judging you at all, merely exposing the hypocrisy and deciet in ur earlier post.
You cant worship Him you know not.

tRoOE:
If I decided not to read the bible, it's my business not yours.

Your personal decisions are not my businesss but it becomes my business when you come up here to post something so misleading.

tRoOE:
If you read your bible like you claimed, then you won't condemn me in the way am praising my God almighty

If you read ur bible u'll see where it clearly states that not all those who cry "Lord Lord . . ." will enter into the kingdom of God.
The pharisees praised more than you, Christ called them whitened sepulchres.

tRoOE:
People have all kind of way of crying to God, and my own way is through singing, and surely answers my request

Stop decieving urself. There is ONLY one way of crying out to God and that is through Jesus Christ. The devil has used this "everyone has their way . . ." to blind the eyes of those seeking every excuse to claim God without the responsibilities attached to it.
Singing without a personall relationship with Christ is nothing but voice training.

The bible says the rain falls on both the just and the unjust . . . the wheat and the tares are both left to grow until the harvest . . . dont be decieved into thinking a God u do not acknowledge is answering ur requests.

tRoOE:
My dad was right, majority of your Christians are hypocrites and these are one of the examples

Your dad was only mouthing the tired old excuse of those who need something to justify their godlessness.

first off - yariyan means young woman in hausa.

Second - phew! Miracleomo is a knockout herself! Cute.

blkmum700 is perhaps a mus'lim. Only they ask these kind of questions that are more like veiled accusations than a genuine desire to learn.

Tobaaro, yes we can blame the admin forever . . . but its not really his fault that children and adults who erroneously think age is a factor of maturity have decided to swamp this forum eh.

blkmum700:
that doesnt answer what am asking because easter is not measure that place?while does jehova withness don't celebrate it?are they not christian ?

I will also ask you a question, why do you celebrate your birthday? Is it required by law?

JayFK:
"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" , won't you say that's a form of discrimination?

depends on how you view it. Its "discrimination" as long as that is what YOU want it to read.
That statement is very simple to understand . . . a medical student wont go get a yoruba professor and surround himself with physics students . . . he wont learn anything.

The bible is simply stating, if you are serious about your walk with God and growing in the faith then those around you, those whose lives revolve most around you (ur immediate family i.e. spouse) must be they who are of like minds with you. The bible asks a question - can 2 walk together except they be agreed?
Can you grow in faith married to an atheist who believes God is a figment of man's imagination?

Delta . . . u did miss out one point though.
You ask fellow to apply to the Canadian consulate in Buffalo . . . he will need to cross US border security on the way, he wont be allowed into the US without a valid US visa.

Gamine:
Well then again, Nairaland lacks decent people

you talk true.

JayFK:
You make no sense whatsoever, matter of fact the reasons you stated above are profoundly stupid. I don't think you fully understand Nigeria's problems or the reasons for splitting. Nigeria has over 300 different ethnic groups, most of them having no linguistic ties to the other, most of them considering themselves a nation within Nigeria. Look at all the countries through history that have split from each other, it is always because of ETHNICITY, why is Kosovo splitting from Serbia? 90percent of Kosovo is ethnic Albanian, Czechoslovakia, The Basques from Spain, Ambazonia, Quebec from Canada all of these are based on Ethnicity and Language. If you don't want Nigeria to split give a valid reason instead of doling out stupid analogies that bear no resemblance to Nigeria's situation.

You waste time trying to explain plain issues to those who cant comprehend.

tRoOE:
@McUsman

Well i won't sit here and pretend some of the things you said aren't true. You are right about how an average Christian does not know the bible, which is actual 100% true. LOL i can't even remember the last time I stepped into a church, or read my bible but that doesn't stop me from praising God.

But one thing you don't know is, Praise and worship songs has done so much marvelous things in peoples life.Thanking God and giving him praises is something , people get all emotional especially when they realize how much good things God has done in their life.

this is most absurd. A real christian takes the bible and church very seriously . . . to come here and assume that because you sing a couple of songs that contain the words "God" makes u a christian is a monumental error that requires pity.

Dear, the bible is God's instructional manual . . . without a personal relationship with Him all ur praise and worship is useless . . . maybe if u'd read the bible u'd have seen where Isaiah talks of our works of righteousness being like filthy rags.
Perhaps if u bothered to open that bible u'd realise that Judas Iscariot followed Christ for 3yrs and ended up as the son of perdition . . .

Christianity is not a religion of emotions . . . it is a personal relationship.

The key here - You cant claim to be worshipping Him you do not know . . . its deciet. There is only one way to know God, to read His word. Chikena.

Just couldnt let this grievous error pass.

babs787:
That goes a long way to show you Israel and Arabs worship the same God unlike you people that worship three in one god.

No sir, infact it goes a long way to show that the God of Israel has no part with your arab infidels.
The title - God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob appears multitudes of times in the bible . . . NOT ONCE does it include Ishmael in that group.

The title "Lord God of Israel" appears multitudes of times in the bible . . . NOT ONCE does it include Ishmael.

Now which "god" do you think you worship with the jews? The very same jews that you all, al'lah and moham'med have a pathological hatred for?
The very same jews you want to drive out of jerusalem?
The same jews your very qu'ran refers to as apes and pigs?

Dear . . . arabs and jews dont serve the same God at all! dont come here lying thru ur teeth . . . where have arabs celebrated the hannukah, passover, feast of purim? These are 3000yr old traditions passed down from the days of Moses . . .

babs787:
@4Him

Have you been able to provide rebuttal to the source?

what source? the nonsense you put up earlier and called a "source"?

babs787:
If your mind is not befogged, you would have read that it was referring to Ishmael despite the fact that it didnt mention his name but reading through the verses, you would see that Isaac was mentioned just to show Ishmael was really the son

Isnt it a shame, something as important as a covenant with Abraham is now a subject of ASSUMPTION?
Why would the ko'ran mention Isaac "just to show Ishmael was really the son"? What would have been so hard to mention Ishmael JUST ONCE?

babs787:
Keep asking stupid question. You should have provided rebuttal or another source to refute the source I gave to you and not making noise over what you couldnt defend afterall I gave you a source different from my own religion and from Encyclopaedia Judaica!!!. So you may tender your own source apart from your own book and we discuss.

What a fraud. You gave me a source different from your religion NOT as proof that u're not biased but because YOUR OWN RELIGION HAS NO SOURCE TO SUPPORT YOUR LIES!
You tried using the bible as proof, where is the confirmation in the ko'ran?

poke:
@all
Am just eyeing one Nigeria lady over there at u s a
I just hope it will click

Be careful so nothing pokes u in the eye.

MC Usman, does it hurt so much that for once the mus'lims have NO answer to this?
You accuse us of not being there to defend the bible:
1. Not everyone has the patience to endure ur dishonesty
2. How many mus'lims come around to defend their own ko'ran without bleating threats?

Is'lam has always been predicated on simply copying christianity . . . unfortunately its impossible to copy the most important aspect of the christian faith - praise and worship.

MC Usman:
But when it comes to the thing they know best ♫ ♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ ♫♫♫ ♫ ♫♫♫♫ sing sing sing sing sing from mouring till night you will see them rushing with their big mouth wide open with different hip – up and rock & row lyrics all in the name of glorifying God. On average a church congregation spend 50% singing , 30 % dwelling on Political events 20 % soliciting for tittles

Here's the good news . . . the most important gift a man can give God is praise. David wrote 150 praise psalms and more . . . we know what place he held in God's heart.

Sorry bro, go on a pilgrimage, maybe all'ah will be happy.

bawomolo:
so where bejamin franklin, monroe, thomas jefferson etc devout christians??

we've been through this before. Say something else.

Chris Rice: Come to Jesus

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall, so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

Michael W. Smith: Ancient words

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
They resound with god's own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Words of life, words of hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home.

Chorus:
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age.
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of christ.

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world.
They resound with god's own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Chorus x4

We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart

Uche2nna:
Wetin u expect? A night out @ Sheraton ?

nwando:
Preachers on TV now ask for donations on credit card.

this is the height of wickedness and greed. Telling ur flock to mortgage their financial future just to "give"?

babycool:
Ol' boy
I agree with you oh! They don't even know how to do a proper outing, if no be Mr Biggs na Tantalizer after that na 'do me i do u'

poor you. Look for real men around u.

the white films dont run any deeper. Its all a manipulation of your emotions built around sex.
Are white relationships any stronger than ours . . . they have more cases of divorce than we have.

The difference is blacks dont have time to decieve each other with flowers, guilt trips, chocolate and all . . .
