this thread has become something else!

@JeSoul: Sigh of relief  . Your third paragraph's first line explains my concern (for the benefit of transparent readers who never post anything). But as for me, you know I know you know what we believe!  

JeSoul my sister, you are highly welcome! Please let it all out I can hardly wait. Seriously!

Hmmm.

Mavenb0x:

Thus if a person pounces upon God’s principle and appropriates it in an instance, by chance or deliberately, the results will be outstanding. But the question is: why stand by the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy the scenery while washing your hands with spittle? If you can operate in accuracy, why rely on chance?

Since time began, God, the master strategist, has engaged himself in investment, real estate, training, consultancy, enterprise development, human capital development, strategy and financing. He is not religious, and he never wanted religion. Religion began because man fell into error and wickedness, and seeing his distance from God, man began trying to get back to God the same way a potted plant in a dark room will extend its tendrils in the direction of the slightest hint of an illumination, a thin ray of light piercing through a tiny slit in the window.

God considered man’s feeble attempts and decided to put an end to religion so that man could face the more important capital strategy, a joint project between God and man. Thus he reconciled us to himself in the form of Christ roughly 2000 years ago and expunged religion. For the potted plant I mentioned, that would be like illuminating the dark room with brilliant sunshine, so that the plant can focus on its photosynthesis and growth, rather than seeking out acceptance by a light source. We cannot continue to expect God to tolerate or favour religion, after he eradicated it in Christ.

Like the potted plant, we no longer have to seek a light source: the light is all around us now, and there are productive expectations that we are to live up to.

Mavenb0x, can you shed light on the above? Because it appears that there are brilliant enterprises of capital and human development in which the human agents ignore God. Some even reject him thoroughly?

Just like nuclearboy, I think you are on track  . But you need to finish up. 

m_nwankwo:

I only strive to seve God and his two sons, Jesus and the Holyspirit. Stay blessed.

JeSoul:

I could not agree more with all you have said here and as one who believes and follows the bible, I truly cannot find any point to antagonize you on. I just want to say thank you as indeed many of the points I was unable to express, you have done so. Thanks again.

Does JeSoul also believe that God has two sons: Jesus and the Ruach (Holy Spirit)?

Im really sorry, Kunbee. Please forgive.

Great Movie, IMO

Summary: A modern day retelling of the classic story The Frog Prince. The Princess and the Frog finds the lives of arrogant, carefree Prince Naveen and hardworking waitress Tiana crossing paths. Prince Naveen is transformed into a frog by a conniving voodoo magician and Tiana, following suit, upon kissing the amphibian royalty. With the help of a trumpet-playing alligator, a Cajun firefly, and an old blind lady who lives in a boat in a tree, Naveen and Tiana must race to break the spell and fulfill their dreams.

Review from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780521/#comment

Michael Eisner will forever be known as the man that attempted to totally kill Disney animation. After the disastrous efforts of Home on the Range, what was once a staple of the Walt Disney Company was becoming a thing of the past. Traditional animation was dead in Disney, and this was definitely one of the major contributors towards the shift in upper-upper management and his departure. Now with Pixar and John Lasseter on board, Disney pulls absolutely no punches in their return to tradition. There's a new princess, she happens to be black, and they happen to twist a classic story so much that you have literally no clue in which direction the writers were going. The major question is: can Disney revive its Renaissance quality that it experienced in the 90s? Can they ever duplicate such magic again? The answer is a resounding yes.

[b]Princess and the Frog is the best traditionally animated flick (from ANY company) since The Emperor's New Groov[/b]e. Princess Tiana is the most sophisticated and most mature Disney princess since Belle. The villain here is the best since Hades from Hercules. Prince Naveen is the best prince since Prince Eric (and even then, Naveen is one of the better princes out there). The music here is actually some of the best music from any Disney movie past and present. The animation here is the best since The Lion King. Basically, to sum things up, Princess and the Frog is an excellent effort from Disney and a superb return to Renaissance quality that the company sorely missed and needed.

The movie focuses on a hard-working waitress (Anika Nosi Rose) that is saving money to open up her own restaurant, which was a dream her father had always been chasing. Her father also taught her that it's not enough to just wish for something, you have to also work to accomplish what you want in life. Tiana lives her life on this lesson, much to the disdain of others. After a few twists and turns (I don't want to spoil the plot too much), she becomes a frog thanks to Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos), whom is a prince that is very different from the norm in terms of personality and even royalty status. Along the way they will meet a wide assortment of characters, ranging from a charismatic magician (Keith David, in an amazing role), a friendly firefly (Jim Cummings), a music-loving alligator (Michael-Leon Wooley), and many others. The movie clocks in at less than 100 minutes, but moves at such a fast pace, you'll get a lot more material than your average hour-and-a-half movie.

Let's just put this out there: Disney treated Tiana and her surroundings perfectly and without overdoing any boundaries whatsoever. New Orleans has an incredibly energetic look, and just enhances the themes and plot of the movie. Accompanying the Louisiana flavor is the incredible score of Randy Newman, which uses a wide variety of sounds and genres from the Deep South (and also is mixed in with a little Newman touch).

Can we praise the animation one more time? Sure, why not. The movie looks absolutely beautiful, and doesn't rely on just a simple palette of colors. Thanks to technology and an obvious overload of effort, this is one of the most (if not the most) colorful and vibrant-looking Disney animated movies of all-time. Some of the added computer effects only enhance the sophistication of the animation (I rhymed). One final note, the visual humor in Princess and the Frog is very fast-paced, to the style of the severely underrated Emperor's New Groove. You need a watchful eye on certain scenes to catch all the jokes.

If there was anyone that was going to save Disney's traditional animation, it would be Ron Clements and John Musker. These two were the most responsible for the Disney Renaissance, directing Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Hercules. They once again provide a beautiful story, and direct the movie with plenty of flair and energy. The musical sequences fit the pacing of the flick, and while there wasn't an outstanding track like "Be Our Guest," "Friend Like Me," or "Under the Sea," the repertoire of musical numbers overall was quite impressive. A key part to a great animated movie is having a villain just as complex and/or engaging as the heroes; and the "Shadow Man" not only has the best musical number, but also has the most flair of any of the supporting characters. Now we can forgive them for directing Treasure Planet.

The biggest reason for the successful quality in Princess and the Frog comes from the Pixar touch. Pixar obviously lent a hand here, as this movie contains some of the most sentimental and touching animated footage since the epic heartbreak moment in Lion King when Simba sees Mufasa motionless. While the movie never nails the emotional torture that Up succeeded (then again…few films ever will), Princess and the Frog will make you cry just as easily as it can make you laugh. Don't let that bring you down though, because this movie carries an upbeat tempo throughout the entire run.

Bottom Line: If you enjoyed the Disney Renaissance (From Little Mermaid to Tarzan, before the downfall spiral started), then it is up to you to watch this movie. This movie has all the energy, quality, sentimentality, and superb animation of the 90s Disney flicks, and is inches away from Pixar status. Pixar has saved Disney altogether, and Princess and the Frog is hopefully going to save Disney traditional animation, granted it gets the praise and success it truly deserves. Unlike what we have been seeing in the past, Disney did not half-arse this time. Blending the old-school qualities with a new-school outlook on where the status of animation and storytelling is headed, Princess and the Frog is a fun, entertaining, and fulfilling ride from start to finish.

she said dat a guy as hansome as i am can never stick to one girl,am sorry to say this, am a guy but i hv girls who want me many time to d extend of telling my friend what's wrong wit me,because of her, i still love her, but pls do think i shuold still continue with this? need your help. thanks

Looks like a cheap advertisement

@OP: I hope you have previewed your death certificate? Even if you no dey fear God, just let her husband grab your scrawny neck. You will see the wrath of a husband on a useless adulterer!

*splitting headache @OP*

@Karyola: No way! Do you know this song "O my commanding wife, she wants to destroy my life?" You want me to release the remix, baa?

Can someone please remind me why this topic is in Religion, and not Career or Culture? 

@Tudor Tudór : I'm happy for words but not for that reason! Thanks.

I complained because you omitted the N in my name. Who gives two scoobies about ID spellings anyway?

Tudór:

What are you talking about?

PS: My name is Tud[b]ó[/b] NOT Tudor.

I don't know what Tudor means.

@Tudór: So your name is Tudó?   Well how could I tell? I refer to people by their NL usernames and nothing else. I apologize for missing out on the accent aigue (hope I got that right) because I don't know how to insert such a character on the keyboard. But now I have copied and pasted. Satisfied? Tudór. Tudór. Tudór.

Tudór:

Child;Mum, what does acel know?

Mum; NOTHING!!

Tudor, I know this is getting ridiculous and I hope you realize that, too. Can we have a truce? 

P.S. And my name is Ancel. Not Acel. Acel has no meaning as far as I know.

The wise ones subscribe to a thread when Pastor AIO and Deep Sight are the discussants.

@G1: Using your reasoning above, if I travel to Gobi desert and I cannot get reception on my favourite Etisalat network, so I cannot send an SMS to my girlfriend, does it mean the Etisalat network does not exist?

Private jets? Laff no go kill me o,  I don't think so. Deep Sight, please share your own views while Mavenb0x boots we wait for Mavenb0x.

LMAO!!!

Child: Is Tudor female?

Mother: Is Michael Jackson female?

Mavenb0x, since you have been reluctant to start this thread as you promised, please can you spare us some time and tell us about

God's business enterprise project with respect to human capital development?

Other contributors (especially Viaro, expounder of mysteries ) are also VERY welcome. People, please don't keep us waiting.

Thanks!

Child: Mummy, is your friend Tudor on crack?

Mum: Don't you say I told you so, but I am telling you. 

@Zodiac61 & manmustwac: If you don't understand sarcasm, get off the turf. Can you prove that the internet exists (and is not a figment of your imagination), even though you currently enjoy its manifestation? And yet we have people going around trying to prove that God (does, or does not) exist.

MAVENB0X: Good THINKing right there! *claps*

Tudor: Mavenb0x is sort of right, I guess. I don't think she meant it that way.

Can anyone please prove to me conclusively that Atheists exist anywhere?

I think it's a delusion that some few people face: they keep thinking atheists exist, and in some cases, they think they are atheists .

You have all been fooled: Atheists do not exist! Whoever has valid proof of atheism should please step forward.

Whoever thinks agnostics may exist, or maybe they may not, but is not really sure, should also please step forward.

@OP: For reasons outlined above, I can only wish you well. You won't find atheists or agnostics in Abuja.

@Kola Oloye: No mind the guy. I no even get time to dey follow am talk. Make im dey misyarn dey go.
