Gray Beard: Why is it nonsensical?. . . |
Re: A Question For Gray Beard by thehomer: 7:45pm On Aug 15, 2011 |
Gray Beard: This is the problem with people who are mentally deranged they find it difficult to understand basic concepts presented in English. When something is suspended, does it not imply that there is a force acting on it from below? How hard is it for you to understand that with gravity, there is no place that you refer to as below? You go further to show the sort of poor concept of context that you have by linking suspension of physical objects to suspension from school. This is something not even expected from people who have graduated from secondary school. Like I said, you may just be mentally deranged. Gray Beard: So that is what it means. It is just as I suspected, you seem to have a rectal and fecal fetish. I really hope you get some therapy for it. You could start by checking in to a facility with some electroconvulsive therapy or see a vet for your needed lobotomy. Though I'm starting to suspect that this is just an alter ego for your cleaned up self. It appears that you think you have a reputation to protect. |
Re: A Question For Gray Beard by GrayBeard: 8:42pm On Aug 15, 2011 |
your post is very silly. Think for your self. What does the word 'suspension' mean. You goofed. A body is suspended when it sits in a void without solid physical support. So sad u are so daft that sarcasm is lost on u when i talked about school suspension. Olodo. Na yab be dat one, but u are too slow to pick up on that, u chronic bed wetter? For lords sake whatever else you do, do not tell lies. You first claimed dat gravity got nothing to do with the passage until we asked u what force from the sun keeps the earth in orbit. Then u comically remembered that that is gravitational energy from the sun? Pls keep ur pretenses to erudition to urself. Ur understanding of the word 'suspension' is pathetic. U say it means support from below. That is so illiterate i will not countenance it with a response. I dey use phone or i for show u pepper. Bovine recidivist. |

I am generally disappointed when I see Christians engaging in mud-slinging. Gray Beard and thehomer quit with it ! |
Re: A Question For Gray Beard by thehomer: 9:03pm On Aug 15, 2011 |
Gray Beard: Since English seems to be a language you're not familiar with, here are relevant definitions of suspension. Dictionary.com: Please show where I said what you're claiming. My posts are still available on the thread. It is generally a bad idea to present such false hoods that can be easily confirmed. Now, I hope you understand what suspension means and why gravity doesn't suspend the earth. If you still do not, go and collect your money back from the vet who lobotomized you and pay for another electroconvulsive therapy without anaestetics or muscle relaxant. Don't forget to keep the brain he removed from your head in the fetish zone of your body. |

Re: A Question For Gray Beard by Rhino5dm: 9:41am On Aug 16, 2011 |
lemme clear some misconseption. Wallahi is arabic word which has been localised by the Hausa linqua, in that hausa language history it self, is tied around arabic so much that you will be able to 'pick' arabic by mere speaking hausa. Bayajidda the son of king of Baghdad should quickly come to any historian mind. if you are very vast in hausa. Having said so, it is a common knowledge for any person in the north to be using the word even without knowing its meaning or believing in it. Infact the word Allah,Wallahi,Tallahi is known to be use by northern christains when conversating. To them its northing more than another way of showing how serious you are just as Mazaje rightly put it. @ sweetnect why do you like forcing your religion on people? And later you claim there is no compulsion in Isalam? |

Sweetnecta: You are not a Hausa man are you? Rhino.5dm who is a Hausa man has already given you a good explanation, Non Muslims living in the north all use wallahi as a word which means "am serious" ask any body that speaks the Hausa language and he will tell you that. . .Wallahi in the context of the Hausa language is very different from wallali in the Arabic language, do you get it? Languages evolve most times seems you are too dull to comprehend that fact. . . .As for the Yoruba's descending from the Arabs, which notable historian told you that? Is Obansanjo a historian, which university did he get his History degree from? Stop your baseless bed time stories that belong to illiterates. . .If the Yoruba's descended from the Arabs, there will be DNA evidence to confirm it, no? Where is your DNA evidence to show that the Yoruba's descended for the Arabs. . . . |

Take it or leave! I can go on and on to tell you this because i understand basic arabic myself. Kaifa asubati? in arabic while hause will say Barka da asubati?

Let me use the hausa tribe to illustrate the matter since you are familiar with that tribe and you are not with my tribe. Before the first "History Textbook" about the Hausa tribe, the hausa elders must have in authentic african tradition sit their young and tell them story about the hausas; their origins, their journeys, their successes, their not to much successes, all the way until the Textbook writer came and hear it from those willing to tell him. Thats what Historians are; writers of what oral tribal person heard from previous generation said. |

@ sweetnecta I can both speak Yoruba and Hausa so please stop all that. The explanation i gave you was the best offer in one of the most civil way. You cant be argueing blindly. those things i said is absolute facts and truth. Do you know that majority of orthodox churches in the north use the word "uban giji" or "Allah" when referring to God in churchs? Or "Yesu Almacihu" when referring to Jesus Christ?

Re: A Question For Gray Beard by GrayBeard: 12:31pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
Many stories conveyed in the bible have been confirmed by archaelogical findings. We start with a few - The discovery of the Ebla archive in northern Syria in the 1970s has shown the Biblical writings concerning the Patriarchs to be viable. Documents written on clay tablets from around 2300 B.C. demonstrate that personal and place names in the Patriarchal accounts are genuine. The name “Canaan” was in use in Ebla, a name critics once said was not used at that time and was used incorrectly in the early chapters of the Bible. The word tehom (“the deep”) in Genesis 1:2 was said to be a late word demonstrating the late writing of the creation story. “Tehom” was part of the vocabulary at Ebla, in use some 800 years before Moses. Ancient customs reflected in the stories of the Patriarchs have also been found in clay tablets from Nuzi and Mari. The Hittites were once thought to be a Biblical legend, until their capital and records were discovered at Bogazkoy, Turkey. Many thought the Biblical references to Solomon's wealth were greatly exaggerated. Recovered records from the past show that wealth in antiquity was concentrated with the king and Solomon's prosperity was entirely feasible. It was once claimed there was no Assyrian king named Sargon as recorded in Isaiah 20:1, because this name was not known in any other record. Then, Sargon's palace was discovered in Khorsabad, Iraq. The very event mentioned in Isaiah 20, his capture of Ashdod, was recorded on the palace walls. What is more, fragments of a stela memorializing the victory were found at Ashdod itself. Another king who was in doubt was Belshazzar, king of Babylon, named in Daniel 5. The last king of Babylon was Nabonidus according to recorded history. Tablets were found showing that Belshazzar was Nabonidus' son who served as coregent in Babylon. Thus, Belshazzar could offer to make Daniel “third highest ruler in the kingdom” (Dan. 5:16) for reading the handwriting on the wall, the highest available position. Here we see the “eye-witness” nature of the Biblical record, as is so often brought out by the discoveries of archaeology. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Rhino.5dm: Your argument seems strange and mysterious. the bolded seem strange as are you saying there are no Christian that are Hausas, do you know hausa is a lingua franca in the north? that is why you will find Christians using Allah? do you know that arab Christians use Allah for god? it seem you have some logic mixed up as Yesu means Jesus and the Islamic equivalent for Jesus is Isa, Almcihu means messiah, the Islamic equivalent is Al masih, I do not really understand what you were trying to prove, but you simply jumbled up issues,as the word Wallahi is clearly swearing by Allah, and i spoke to a Hausa moments ago and the Hausa lady said it does not connote seriousness but actually swearing by God or Allah. You know I have heard of atheist who said " thank God that car would have hit me" will this also mean that he is saying seriously that car would have hit me? It seems the atheist can not even do with out God, No? |
