Great thread!

EccentricJ, this is not new . . . i'd advice you leave your present girl now . . . even if u don't marry your first love u wont fully appreciate her enough and u will continue to make unfair comparisons forever.
BUT before you take a huge leap with your old flame please be cautious, 10yrs is not the same as 10mins . . . the girl u once knew may have changed and u may end up realising u were hankering after a past that had long since morphed into a new personality.

_{But what is it with folks talking about committed relationships today? I just heard the last of my friends is now engaged too!}

I recognise this verse in the psalms.

How? Are the psalms now incorporated in the qu'ran or you have finally found al'lah's lost sarbur? Have you ever wondered why mooslims spend too much time reading the bible while NO christian gives a hoot about the qu'ran?

Frizy:
The reason why Mus'lims don't dance and play music in the mosque is because the prophet warned us against it.

Now this is even more confirmation that this "prophet" of yours was a false one. Now just look at the antecedents of those you falsely claim to be your "prophets" too:

Moses - Exodus 15: 1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

David - 2 Samuel 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod

1 Chronicles 13:8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

Solomon - 1 Chronicles 6:32 And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of the congregation with singing, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem: and then they waited on their office according to their order.

Now dear . . . the men of the bible and moohammad could not have been right at the same time . . . either you believe ONE MAN or you accept the witnesses of several men who understood the power of praises.

But wait . . . if indeed the "prophet" warned u against music why are there i'slamic records today?

Frizy:
music is very appealing to demons -believe it or not. It only makes you rebellious to your Lord though it please you.

Yet more clues that we can't be serving the same God no matter how loudly you proclaim such lies . . . here is what my own God says -

Ps 148: 14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

Frizy:
As for the church music, some people soley go to church because to the music- not the word.

The miracle of 5 loaves and 2 fishes was what brought some people to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Frizy:
You're free to dance evn with the opposite sex.

Maybe this happens in your grandfather's church. you really don't have to introduce insiduous lies to back up your point.

Frizy:
Isl'am condemns this and Mu'slims believe Jesus was a Mus'lims so he cannot be in support of what his Lord prohibits in worship.

Weak . . . as usual circular reasoning. Jesus was a mooslim (not minding the fact that this has no substantive proof), so he can't be in support of singing and dancing . . . really? The same Christ attended the synagogues were such took place on a daily basis . . . do u have a reference where he specifically prohibited such?

Why does al'lah "prohibit praises"? What is he afraid of?

Frizy:
As for David, then played the harp which can't be compared to this electric drums and co.

1 Chronicles 13:8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

Those are far louder than a harp which is essentially like an acoustic guitar.

Frizy:
and if you want me to educate you, it was after the Solomons' incidence that shows that jinns loved it- that may not be understood but I talked about Solomon in a thread("The Great Book: The only . . .science and history)I don't have to name the older generation christain did that are no more in practise. On the otherhand, every sunnah of Mohamme'd and Great Religious tradition is not left untouched.
How do you talk of your Creator like this?Did Jesus even create a fly. I wish I could make you see but I can I do if All'ah's intention is to keep you straying. I pray you know the truth and I pray that the veil covering your sight will disappear soon. When you realize the truth I'll be like your friend and not your enemy as it appears to be with you.

straw man alert! When they can't find anything to defend themselves they resort to the irrelevant.

Frizy:
Your song is 60% of your activity on the sunday service. Not to consider those services during the week. In Nigeria, christains hold services from Monday-Saturday, now tell me can't this impair your hearing? eh?! With drums and all your ascoutic equipment. Frankly, I think there should be restriction if there isn't if the church wants to use public address systems. It can be dangerous if in case there is crime(robbery) or anything. THIS NOISE WONT MAKE ANYONE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENS, DAVID PLEASE UNDERSTAND. The call to prayer will last for the maximum of 2 minutes. Fives a day equals 10 minutes.

Noise pollution is a serious offence in developed countries . . . i think  this is up to the government to enforce.
There should be strict limits on where churches can be located, certainly not in residential areas and ditto for mosques.
Yes the call to prayer lasts for only 2 mins but its 2 mins of disturbing my sweet sleep at 5am in the morning every freaking day.

There is a time for everything under the sun, a time to live and a time to leave the past in the dustbin of history.

Reminiscing is good only if u and the other individual is single . . . if you both think you still have deep feelings for each other then you can always work something out.
If one or the other has moved on then dont bother wasting your time.

yeah get her folic acid and some vitamins . . . you may as well take good care of the pregnancy now that its pharmaceutically impossible to remove it.

Next time be smart.

donchichi:
let me try. There are 100 seniors each with three opportunities. that makes a total of 300 opportunities. same goes for the sophomores and juniors bring it to a total of 800 opportunities. So, probablity that a senior will be chosen is number of senior opportunities diviided by total number of opportunities. which is 300/800 or 3/8

Your answer is the correct one.

kobe:
Of the 6 courses offered by the music department at her college, Kay must choose exactly 2 of them. How many different combinations of 2 courses are possible for Kay if there are no restrictions on which 2 courses she can choose?

i think this is 6 P 2 = 30

kobe:
A special lottery is to be held to select the student who will live in the only deluxe room in a dormitory. There are 100 seniors, 150 juniors, and 200 sophomores who applied. Each senior's name is placed in the lottery 3 times; each junior's name, 2 times; and each sophomore's name, 1 time. What is the probability that a senior's name will be chosen?

this is tough . . . dont have a good background in statistics but i think the answer is 5/18

Anyone solved it yet?

Frizy:

Very funny. You don't have to dodge the question

Remove ur isl'amic scales of gargantuan proportions and see my answer in my subsequent posts here including the reference to Psalm 149 where it is clearly indicated that dancing and singing as a form of worship is as old as 3000yrs.

Frizy:
My question is did Jesus dance? Was dancing and singing part of his ministry? .

Since Jesus Christ Himself is God . . . ur questions is similar to me asking you if Al'lah bows down in worship.

Frizy:
How important is this innovative practice in the modern christainity compared to what Jesus your master wanted?

For the sake of this hypocrite i will repeat - Psalm 149 :1Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

Innovative? Modern christianity? Worship is as old as the book of psalms.

Frizy:
Did he say dance and sing "Ma bere mo le ma gbe ga ma gbe jesu mi gen gen ma . . ." . I swear your religion is halarious. If all men thought this way, I mean the believe will be that we came to play.

Did al'lah run around the kaaba? Did he come down and stone the devil?

It seems the camp of the enemy is stirred to anger whenever the children of God praise Him. Hallelujah!

MC Usman:
That explains why Christan massively react in their masses any attempt to question or criticized their singing & awilo dancing style of worship. But on the contrary, tend to be less responsive & style when any of the basic dogma & tenants of Christianity is question.

- Christians massively react? How many responses have you recieved on this thread?
But for the few of us trying to set things right so u people stop getting away with lies very few christians are actually interested in ur bawling.

MC Usman:
SALAT or the method of worship is the main media through which a human can establish a relationship with his Creator and it is one of the main doors which leads to his complete submission to All'ah's will. There is no ordained priesthood in Is'lam. Every Mus'lim can be Imam (who leads congregational prayer) and can deliver a sermon. The members of the congregation may select, and for this purpose, they should choose one from among themselves who knows the Holy Qur'an better than the others. No vestment is prescribed for the Imam nor any special dress for the congregation. All that needed is the body and the head should be decently and cleanly covered.

This is not in the qu'ran. What has it got to do with christian worship?

My point is, why do they sit at the back of the bus?? C'mon, that cld be avoided now. Segregation is over so why do they now want to enslave themselves and later say that 'whites are not the cause of their problems but they do cause a lot'??

You can wash a slave, give him new clothes and sit him next to George Bush but you can't wash away the slave mentality.
I have also noticed that on public buses . . . whites sit very close to the driver while the blacks head straight for the very rare (most often times to make a ruckus!).

There are several spin-off questions from this one too . . .
- why do blacks have hoods and whites don't?
- Why do blacks revel in speaking ebonics (a by-product of slavery)?
- why do blacks think using the term "nigga" is cool? The next time Jesse Jackson comes to ask another Imus off the air i'll scream.
- what does it mean to "act white"? Is education, good manners, proper command of english language an exclusive preserve of whites?

Teehehehe, really?? Oh well,i don't know what to say.

sorry, i just had to make that correction.
To a certain extent girl22 is right, a lot of the upheaval the world experiences today is as a direct result of European interference.

Isnt it funny that NO SINGLE European nation is skewed like much of Africa and the middle east? In most European nations, they have ONE majority language, ONE majority ethnic group . . . however in Africa you have nations with more than 3-4 major ethnic groups and over 150 separate languages . . . these are already recipes for disaster.

While the Europeans are busy developing we are still struggling with how to co-exist among ourselves. Why is Iraq imploding today? Because the Brits in all their wisdom foistered 3 completely separate groups of people and forced them into one nation . . .
While fairly stable Iran is mainly Shia and Saudi Arabia is mainly Sunni, Iraq is both Shia, sunni AND kurds who dont even regard themselves as Arabs!!

Can you imagine what a nation with 30% Jews, 25% Germans, 9% arabs, 16% English would look like?

The one European nation similar to us is Belgium which is half Dutch and half French . . . even they are already talking of secession.

chiogo:
No, honey. I may not live in Nigeria but i know that what u wrote above is totally wrong!!!!! The british did not give the name Nigeria to us. They formerly named it
'Niger area' or somethin' and when Nigeria got its independence, it was changed to 'Nigeria' by Nigerians not Britons.

Flora Shaw (Lord Lugard's girlfriend) coined the name "Nigeria" in 1922.

Solve this equation:

Solve: sqrt(x-4) + 10 = sqrt(x+4)

I expected the answer would be a round figure. Arrived at the same answer as Huxley . . .

kobe:
A boy is three years younger than his sister. If his age three years ago was two-thirds her age at that time, what are their present ages?

Let sisters age now = a
boy's age now = a - 3

3 yrs ago

Sisters age = a - 3
boy's age = (a - 3) - 3 = a - 6

therefore (a - 6) = 2/3(a - 3)

Solving equations for a . . . sister's age now = 12, brother's age now = 9.

Excellent answer Huxley . . . i just couldnt figure out how to work with the "two digit number" information.

Na wa o . . . what a horrible set of fathers. I desire to have daughters . . . sleeping with them is unfathomable. God help us.

If needs be, I can die for Nigeria and no other country. Our men are becoming slimy and spineless these days. Where are the valliant Nigerian men I used to know? Our ancestors will surely be fuming over this new breed of cowards with peewee.

No, they are simply becoming smarter. They are suddenly realising that all their fathers who supposedly gave their lives for Nigeria did so in vain. Abiola, Kudirat, Rewane, Dikibo all paid the price of democracy with their blood for the likes of Obasanjo, Babangida, Atiku, Anenih to reap where they did not sow?

Look at Kingibe today? The same man who claimed to be "fighting for June 12" opted to serve in the regime that killed his presidential aspirant . . .

Why waste a drop of my blood on behalf of those who could care less?

Go and die if you want, we'll fly our tattered flags at half-mast for you and promptly carry on looting the nation.

@4him

theres no point going on with you,seems you are jewish and i don't think you can see reason

What a load of tosh. Tear their wishy washy propaganda dressed up as arguments to shreds and they call you a jew. Should we also call you an arab?
Dishonesty is the hallmark of most of you supporters of "palestine" . . . you cry so hard to kick out the Jews while the Saudis ruling over Jordan are allowed to get away with theft of more than 85% of this mandate you claim for the arabs.

Just where were u all when Jordan was in control of the WestBank for 19yrs? Didnt the Palestinian arabs deserve a state then?

dying for Nigeria is an exercise in futility.

@ damola
Anyway religion might pose as one of those silly issues to you but I do not consider my faith as silly. Don't know if you are familiar with Joshua but he says as for me and my house we will serve the lord. Those words are of tantamount importance and I do not treat it as a trivial issue. You might have a different understanding of what the christian faith is all about but as for me I do not find myself losing out, all because I broke a relationship based on differences in what I believe in. I would like to train my children without confusion and thinking that all religions pray to one God, which I undeniably know is a very big lie.

May God bless you.
