Paschal007:

'Moslem' is sometimes considered offensive to islam. Is that a deliberate attempt to offend their fragile sensitivity?

How is it offensive?

segmond: I have a question for all those who knows the BIble.
Adam and Eve were the only people on the earth, so how come Cain and his brother had wives? Did they marry their sisters?

Which sisters?

You forgot MacLatunji.

op, now that you have healed your soul, can we get to business and investments?

What is the nature of your business in washington and investments in the UK?

He got a job.

obadiah777: YOU CANT GET NO SALVATION FROM BOWING DOWN TO NO BLACK ROCK IN THE MIDDLE EAST OR FROM EATING CABIN BISCUIT AND DRINKING RIBENA AND SWINGING INCENSE IN THE CHURCH. YALL NEED TO QUIT ALL THIS FOLLY AND CRAZINESS. YALL DONE HAD YOUR FUN WITH THE CABIN BISCUIT AND THE RIBENA AND THE BLACK ROCK, NOW ITS TIME TO GET SERIOUS. COME TO THE REAL SIDE, THIS SIDE.

Which side exactly are you talking about?

striktlymi: Good morning mk,

Do you think it is possible for one to 'create' without considering the design of what is to be created?

Yes. When I "create" poo in the morning, I never consider the design.

[quote author=From_Guiriga]This is very interesting...because when they asked John if he was Elijah, he denied it.
(John 1:21) So they asked him, "Well then, are you Elijah?" John said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

I have reasoned over this myself...Elijah lived hundreds of years before so the people standing in front of Jesus would not have recognized him anyway. Even if one of them standing there there lived in Elijah's time and met him. They would still not recognized him anyway because if Elijah, himself did not know he was Elijah (assuming he did not lied when he denied it) then they would have no recollection of their past life neither.

What's your take on that?

Thanks in advance.[/quote]Well the answer is simple. John did not know he was Elijah simply because people do not have memory of their past lives. It is other gifted people that can tell who reincarneted as whom.

In the case of John, there are other signs that support his reicarnation as Elijah. Check out these to verses about the two men.

Matthew 3:4

4 John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

2 Kings 1:8

8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair and had a leather belt around his waist.”

The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”

See that reincarneted people unconsciously tend to behave in a similar way to their past lives, though they have no conscious memory of those lives.

But note another similarity to support Obadia's arguments. What happened to John the Baptist? His head was cut off with a sword! Why? Because it was the judgement for what he did in his past life as Elijah. So what did Elijah do?

1 Kings 18:40

40 Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!” They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.

1 Kings 19:1

19 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

Yes he killed others with the sword, and was killed with the sword when he came back, as Jesus already said, those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Reincarnation permits the fulfilling of prophecies.

obadiah777: VERY EASY. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS READ YOUR BIBLE DILIGENTLY. THATS ALL. EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN NATURALLY

Yes, I agree with this. Read the bible and you will realise the truth.

Christians don't know their Bible, nor the god they worship.
Let us hear from Jesus himself talking about John, his cousin, the baptist.

Matthew 11:13-14

13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.

If like his disciples, you didn't understand first time, look at this:

Matthew 17:10-13

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.


Your god believes in reincarnation and you are here doubting. Yeye.

I am yet to see a christian use the bible to disprove the op. Instead they are using....SCIENTIFIC TEACHING!

op, show us the image of your brain.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Can't you minority Igbo people find someone/any group you can get along with? I say minority Igbo people because Igbos with your mind set are in the minority.

You have no love for our offe mmanu brothers from the SW, lead by the snake himself, the great Ojuyobo(I'm beginning to like that guy), no love for Ijaws, you are now wishing that the middlebelters had been annihilated, you have no love for Hausa/Fulani people, you even hate progressives who are full blooded Igbos!!

Why don't you all just move out of Nigeria and those of you who are already out, stay the heck out of our business. Nonsense!!

P.S. All nicknames in my posts taken in context, are 100% terms of endearment, so let nobody get it twisted.[/quote]Is it asking too much asking to be left alone? We even fought a war so as to be left alone. But NO!

Now you want us to find an enemy group to get along with? You think we reason like you people?

Dede1: I am not worried about the lapper who seemed to have too much drink but Ndigbo who are bent on delusional drunkenness that blinded Igbo soldiers in Nigerian armed forces of 1960. If Lt Col Jam Pam, a Tiv, did not mind annihilating his people on the orders of Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa, why should Maj C Anuforo mind?

I have said it before. Igbo kindness is the worst enemy of Igbos. We must learn wickeness if we are to survive in this world.

QreatifDave: These soldiers you listed were not fighting against Igbos. They were fighting for Nigeria - against Biafra. Make that distinction, sir.

You are too naive.

Non-evaporating water man is back again with another stupid question.

Bestman Nnamdi: What advise would you like him to give,m is it because he is not as good as Rochas?

The best advice is to tell igbos to organise themselves, get weapons and defend themselves. Also to retaliate for every killing whatever the cost. That is the only way for nama rearers to know they can't mess with us. Running away will only encourage them.

Talking about running back home whenever aboki starts violence, we did that in 1966/67. How did that work out for us?

Paul onminyi: dis ur drama cnt help u wen bomb is been drop in d north. Ur analysis is vry out-dated nd vry far away 4rm d topic of discusion,may b u shud ask ur landlord or ur co-tenant 2 intepret wat Oji means..

Orji wants igbos to act like cowards. To run home to mummy instead of fighting. Remind me which people in the world history acted thus when confronted?

confusion247: And you also believe in the One Nigeria that kills the IGBOS like chicken in the spirit of ONE NIGERIA.

What is stopping Igbos from retaliating?

Sam xiu lee: oga one Nigeria I beg oti to,e don do,spare us that one Nigeria thing,I am from lagos,a yoruba man a southern Nigerian before being a Nigerian!the reason why is simple,northerners don't get killed in the south here,their women here wears whatever they want to wear,they drink whatever they want,but if we should try that up there,they blow us up?I see my igbo southern brother as one don't mind us on how much we abuse each other,it doesn't mean we don't love eachother,or av u not seen where an egba man abuse an ijebu man?,truly our igbo brother are more enterprising but please they need to come back home,let's leave the north for them,please biko.

I believe in one Nigeria in so far as it hurts all those that fought for it. Now you know where I stand.

Please don't listen to the above advice. Only a mad man continues doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result.
Forget god or any human being for that matter. You are own your own. You need to cultivate meaness and wickedness. You need to eat or be prepared to be eaten.
What job can you do? Find it first, then go and make the person in charge give you that job. There are many ways to do that.: booty blackmail, setting up the person already in the position, etc. Use your head.

Deep Sight: Really, what on earth is wrong with you sir?

He reads the bible.

JeSoul: See the word in bold - that I can tell you is already an antagonistic begining almost certain to provoke insults. These are inherently very sensitive issues so the way you phrase/word makes all the difference. And by the way, all sexual/sexuality topics are to be moved to the sexuality section so you wouldn't be able to discuss that here anyways.

Cheers brother.

Ok. thanks. Point taken. I will open a thread on the competence of the Nazareth guy soon.

I hope sexuality section admin don't send my god sex thread to this section where you delete it and ban again thus defeating the purpose.

onye ego: How is he a fool? The man gave an honest advice to igbos in the north

Or do you prefer the daily massacres of Ndi-Igbo in d North?
He said the truth,if u are not wanted by your host to the point of been killed, the only available option is to leave.

He, like other mumus commenting here are trying to paint the Igbo victims of northern islamist madness as being responsible for their own misfortune by staying in a part of their own country.

Only south african apartheid regime had a system of internal segregation based on ethnicity, and even them made it official and supplied documents telling everyone where they can go or not go. There at least you may blame victims, foolishly, if they get maltreated in banned territory.

But this is one nigeria, where northerners own oil wells in the south, where northerners don't need visa to rear their cows in the south, where they roam free, and you want our own people to be quarantined in the east?

Coming from a supposedly Igbo leader makes it a highly foolish statement.

orji is big fool then if he said that.

Nigeria is breaking up.

Chino, you are in danger of a ban. You dare say the truth about some poeple on nairaland?!

OK JeSoul. Good. Let's try again.
Can you please answer me simply the following:
I want to open one or two threads discussing the incompetence and sexuality of Jesus. Can I?

It won't work with a gang.

Well, you know very well who I am. (not Somalia,...gods forbid)

If you know that, then you should know that I would be doing a disservice to my Master if my posts stops being offensive to the worshippers of the hanged one. I know you hate it but that is not the point.
The point is: am I as a holder of the opposite views of christians allowed to air my opposing views here and ask disturbing questions?
You say I am, but your actions say otherwise.

You talked about my language and delivery. I made very sure not to mention any god when I posted that. Even Jesus didn't hang alone but were with two other men on their crosses. My picture could have been either of them or another person altogether but somehow you convinced yourself I was talking about Jesus your Lord.

I reiterate, whatever you think, I was not talking about Jesus Christ, your Lord that died to save you. You just think I do and that is what bothers me. That you liken your omnipotent god to an incompetence on a tree. I am wondering which of us should be banned.

I know that manner of delivery is very important and I have been trying to change my ways since my Logic Mind days but christian hatred cannot let me be.
