only 2 cow legs? A guy is worth at least 2 cows.

lol i know that these days the idea of bride price is merely symbolic. I got intrigued when watching a tribal programme on the travel channel and a father was insisting on calling off a wedding because the prospective son in law was offering only one pig instead of 10 for his daughter.

R-Dynamite:
4Him, seems you'll make a good husband.

Even i know. I humbly take a bow. 
Thanks though . . . u'd make a great wife too.

These amputees will ultimately become liabilities to the state, This is madness at its finest.

liabilities to Lagos state u mean.

therationa:
I give up. I have seen far better christian apologetical defenses to this than I have seen from you. checkout http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/595, you might learn a few.

My intention was not to put up a defence but to expose you for your inability to think outside your preconcieved notions of the bible being riddled with confusion and errors.

Gamine:
The topic is misleading

if it was about Bride Price, one matter
if it was about A Womans Worth, another matter

They are not equal

maybe, maybe not. But isnt bride price a reflection of what the girl's family thinks she's worth?

therationa:
So which version is wrong? Matt's?

and set Him on them. While it does not say he rode both, He was set on both(THEM). If you do not accept the version of events as narrated in Matt as plausible, the Matt is wrong. PERIOD.

its not about Matthew being wrong but about you two hypocrites struggling desperately to read errors into his gospel.
that Matthew mentioned "them" does not mean he wanted to say that Christ rode on both animals at ONCE.
you can think rationally, excercise ur brain.

A colt is much smaller than an Ass . . . it would take a feat of genius for a man to ride 2 animals of different sizes at once.

Wordsmith:
Dude, seriously there's no need answering these two. . .it's a waste of time. . .heck, cooking a pot of beans ala ewa goin is more beneficial. . .

i know . . . this two dudes like to make a lot of inconsequential noise. For once i decided to waste a bit of time pushing their own "questions" up their noses.

skyone:
Thanks for answering my question; so what's disqualifying Detruth and Pastor Oyedepo from giving glory to God regarding that magnificient terbanacle in Nigeria? for sure material things is meaningless to God but does that mean churches are now material things? Detruth must be deceiving himself if that's the case but i hope not. One soul that repent that's true though but what about having a large auditorium where thousands can be saved and hear the word of God comfortably,' what do you think about that?

I certainly am not saying Pastor Oyedepo shld not give God the glory for the building . . . i'm only asking of what purpose is that building? The propagation of the gospel or a source of pride as this thread has turned out to be?

Jesus Christ didnt build auditoriums . . . many times He kept Himself away from the crowd (many of whom were more interested in more fishes and loaves - John 6) . . . but He made an impact that we still feel 2000yrs after.
What is the impact of Canaanland beyond its real estate investments? Are we any better spiritually?

skyone:
If Peter, James, and John were to be alive today they will surely give to God on behalf Faith Tabernacle no doubt about that. yes that's true about Paul but what has that got to do with building a cathedral and giving the glory to God!

Peter, James and John would be more interested in the word than the temple.

skyone:
No, you are wrong, you are only resisting to admit the fact that you mis-understand Detruth thread in the first place. I don't think the building faith tabernacle is a commodity necessity for Pastor Oyedepo, i'm sure he base that building as road map for salvation and God'sMinistry. Christian may have posted threads concerning great healing and you not knowing about that, however you and i can start with one

Detruth's thread is all about pride and nothing more.

The roadmap of salvation has nothing to do with massive physical buildings . . . Christ shed His blood that MEN may be saved not for you to go around getting in the guiness book of records.

R-Dynamite:
4Him, ain't u a crook?

i'm simply looking for the easier way out

R-Dynamite:
So, you saying that those who rape their wives don't do all these things?

i cant technically call it rape. Women love to exagerate . . . soon husbands will be accused of robbing wives at gun point.
Unless she's tired, or sick or on her period a husband shld know his wife well enough to know what he can do to get her excited enough for sex without "raping" her.

women like to say no when all they want is for u to try harder.

Dominion, go right ahead cursing.

bawomolo:
but isn't it possible that a man with infinite powers such as jesus rode both at once?? what makesu think the gospel of mark and john are exact

Dont you think such a feat would have warranted special mention? It takes a miracle to ride an ass and a much smaller colt AT THE SAME TIME dont you think?

therationa:
It says in the bible (Matt) that He rode on THEM

They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them

I expect you to not just be able to ask questions but to be able to think things through urself. Can you ride an ass and a smaller colt at the same time?

almondjoy:
Africa never had a strong cultural identity

false.

almondjoy:
It gets weaker by it's inability to unite and speak with one voice. Or by the increasing inability to take care if its citizens without being handicapply dependent on the west. For example, Nigeria has crude oil it cannot refine but employs westerners to import refined oil in 2008. The Chinese can never allow that. That is why they have the US by the balls now. China has a strong cultural autonomy richly embedded in National pride and a competitive spirit.

this is as funny as it is disjointed. What has cultural identity got to do with natural resources?
China wants to become a world power . . . it has nothing to do with having a rich culture.

what do you mean by cultural autonomy? I'm puzzled.

almondjoy:
As a result, stronger nations are going to keep eating "Africa" up till it exists in name only! I think it cannot be helped sadly enough.

You cant eat Africa up . . . its virtually impossible . . . where would the billions of Africans go? To the already over-stretched Europe or America?

Besides . . are these countries "strong" because of their cultures? Egypt has a strong culture and is still only a developing nation.

almondjoy:
If you can't beat them, join them or get beaten to a shameful pulp! I am joining them for sure because the have more to offer me than Africa does. Now or in the future.

what has this got to do with cultural identity?

almondjoy:
You problems ma dear, are greater than CNN and FoxNews. Infact, they are doing you a favour of letting you know what the world thinks of you and your fellow Africans.

No wonder Africa never develops.

dominions:
* 1 Corinthians 5:5 , I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan: PAUL
* 1 Timothy 1:18-20 , Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

are those curses?

bawomolo:
and how do u know this.

because neither of the gospel writers indicated that he rode BOTH AT ONCE.

bawomolo:
why put a cloak on both of them for jesus to ride??

That they put a cloak on both of them does not mean he rode both at once.

R-Dynamite:
But seriously, what should the man do?

if he has to beg he shld do so . . . if he has to touch some buttons to get her in the mood then by all means. There are always ways to get a reluctant horse to drink.

R-Dynamite:
_{runs to Mami's arms}

she'll be only too glad to hand you over to go give up ur milk.

bawomolo:
please enlighten me, how do u know a colt is a young ass??

if you looked at a dictionary u wouldnt be asking such a question.

skyone:

Jesus commanded them And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes

the colt and ass are differentiated here.

an ass is different from a colt/young ass. the bible writers knew what they meant.

almondjoy:
There is no honor amongst thieves!

Excellent

bawomolo:
no jesus rode both the colt and the ass like a medieval love-vendor

Mark 11:7
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

John 12:14
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon.

so which one is it??

a colt is defined as a young male horse under the age of 4 . . . you're begining to sound desperate.

@ busta, you've sure had some not so good experiences eh.

yemivictor:
Let him jack-off to quench the fire!

Or better still, she (wifey) could do the jacking-off for him sef!!

After all, half a loaf is better than puff puff!!!

that is no solution at all. What is the point licking ur lips when the milk is right there beside you?

R-Dynamite:
LMAO! I was sure that will hit u guys. Deal with it!

I am sure you were just joking when you told us to lie there quietly. Impossicant.

bawomolo:
then y insert it into the bible then. was Matthew inspired by the devil??

u're confused. If i ask that you get me two cars, does that mean i am driving both at once?

bawomolo:
isn't that what was written in the bible

there is nothing to suggest that Christ rode BOTH the ass and the colt AT THE SAME TIME.

emmyray:
finally,let no man joke with the anointing upon a man, scripture says, touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm,
practical bible story for those of us that are christians, david, having a chance to kill saul said,how can i touch the head of him whom the lord has anointed,
we all have freedom of expression but please be careful, remain blessed folks.

1. the passage about "touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm" is not applicable here and has been shown over and over again to be an oft abused passage of the bible being used by men of Gawd as a smokescreen for their deciet.

2. If David had killed Saul he would simply have become King . . . nothing would have happened to him. I believe at that moment God moved on Him not to kill Saul. . .

3. We have freedom of expression . . . we dont however have the power to curse our enemies.

bawomolo:
why don't u just admit, u are a blind sheep and have nothing to counter the opening post.

the opening post is not particularly sane . . . i mean you have to prove to me that it is possible to ride an ass and a colt AT THE SAME TIME before i even decide to counter it.
What say you?

aisha2:
The bride price is my Place is between N20 and N50, in addition, the woman parents buy her furniture, electronics, Pots, a bed and a wadrope

Aisha2 will you marry me?

dominique:
End of an era indeed! Maybe its mugabe thats going to take his last breath in office afterall. someone needs to give him an hint.

Mugabe would rather die than resign from office.

R-Dynamite:
He should quietly sleep next to her.

how does one "quietly sleep" when a fire is still raging?

therationa:
Don't know about horses. Donkeys are rather milder tempered than horses. So with some luck I think I can pull it off with two donkeys (one of which has got to be a colt - less bad tempered than his mother). Not even Jesus could have done it on horses.

grab an ass and a colt and give it a shot.

skyone:
When he meant 2 or 3 poeple He didn't say 2 or 3 only but as many as possible, there's no limit to it. However you still haven't answered my question " Who do you give glory to when you passed your exams or bought a new house"!

skyone, when he said 2 or 3 . . . he meant just that. Even if its just you and ur wife, in Saudi Arabia where u are not allowed to fellowship with the body of Christ . . . as long as you are gathered together IN HIS NAME . . . He is there in your midst.

when i passed my exams i gave glory to God . . . when i buy a new house i will do the same . . . but i more than understand that material things like cars and houses are not what matters to God. Unlike religious hypocrites like detruth, i know that what is more important to Christ is 1 soul that repents (there is joy in heaven over that 1 soul) and not the presence of my church in the guiness book of records.

skyone:
You didn't understand me here at all. Now as a child or servant of God you are meant to enjoy the abundant blessing, , prosperity, health, salvation, anoiting, long-life etc and i'm sure you will agree with me that this blessing is there for us to enjoy. Therefore i believe Pastor Oyedepo is no exceptional. Yes, 'not inferoir because i belief christians should not live a substandard life, you can be wealthy and still live your life 30years behind, so inferiority is not narrowed down to being poor or wealthy. Apostle Paul was a great educationist and through his academic standard he was able to impact the poeple at a larger scale.

lol mr. skyone . . . you pple need to study ur scriptures more. Peter, James and John were illiterate fishermen . . . yet their shadows raised the dead.

Look at what Paul himself had to say about his "great education" and "academic standard" . . . Phil 3: 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ

skyone:
You sound rudiculous here, You should have asked who empowered you to have a sound education or to performing well at work! was is it by your might?

My dear . . . u dont get my point. You people keep desperately twisting anything to justify ur ridiculous views. God gives you the grace to build skyscrapers . . . where it becomes a problem is when that building becomes a symbol of your own covetousness.

How many "christians" come on these boards to celebrate a healing or a miracle or a soul that they led to Christ? Rather all we see are noise makers shouting about the size of their churches.

teejay119:
My goodness wetin be all this scripture Mr 4Him.

this alone is sufficient reason not to read the rest of ur twaddle. When we begin to relegate the scriptures to the background in favor of a man of Gawd then we know better than to engage you in a discussion.

detruth:
Do'nt mind the guy, he has no respect for anointing nor for the anointed.

Open your bible and show me were "respect for the anointing" was a hindrance to criticism. Paul sharply reprimanded Peter for calling the gentiles unclean . . . i didnt hear Peter's followers grumbling about disrespecting the "anointing" . . . afterall when Peter was busy following Jesus Christ, Paul was sitting at the feet of the scribes.

I dont respect any anointing . . . I respect Christ.

detruth:
If you have no fear of God for such His servant, we can't be decieve that he fears God that he can't see.

Open ur bible and show me where we are told to "fear" the servant of God. Are you not a servant of God also? Do you need a microphone to obtain that status?

detruth:
Success will always attracts biters. They are free to be hitting the floor, while we advance in their front!

I shake my head in sorrow . . . "success" is now measured by the size of ur church.
Keep "advancing" in terms of the guiness book of records.

therationalist . . . why dont you try riding two horses at once then come tell us how nice the experience was.
