Hello Guys
A beautiful Thursday to you guys and like as always I have another engaging post for you today. Contrary to what people think of a child. Truth is no child is dull or a dunce in academics or anything.

According to two articles I've read, new born babies are born Smart. At birth and as they age before theor toddler stage. All babies are musically inclined. They can detect vocal range and keys to each song being played. You know why? Cos babies are born with a 100 million neurons in their brain which makes for more neural connections making them super smart and intelligent. So don't mistake their babbles for the rantings of a dull innocent cutey cuddly. That bundle of joy in your hand is the smartest being on earth.
Studies show that as they begin to grow, they begin to lose the connections and neurons until about 8 million is left which can be depleted further or increased based on what the individual does with his brain and what brain exercises he or she engages in.

For our young mamas on this forum I want you to know this and begin to treat that child as a little Einstein and never look down on him or her.
Stay safe till my next post.

Will love for this post to make front page

@nlfpmod

I'm sorry I don't have the appropriate image but I believe this is good front page worthy material.

Your question is a little confusing and I do not have clear way of handling it.

However, there are many things that go on with marriage and before marriage and in is quite an intricate web which catches wrongdoers in different and dynamic punishing ways

And the number 1 is that couples who do not obey God and flee fornication, get punished in many ways if and when they marry.

https://www.nairaland.com/8080384/polygamy-gods-punishment-fornication-deut#129757291

And since bad marriage is a punishment for fornication, a person who seeks to escape punishment by divorce is prima facie guilty of a worser crime of adultery.

So can a divorcee remarry? Only if he broke no Law.

This is deep and like I said earlier, it's a catch 22 scenario. Jesus himself didn't give the Pharisees a clear answer in the account of Mark 10:1-12 but His words to His disciples was a divorcee shouldn't marry as that would be Adultery.
If we should go by what the Lord Jesus says then two things are to be adhered to:
1 Married couples should do all they can to make their marriage work
2. Avoid Divorce at all cost and if they do Divorce; to stay off marriage altogether.
Like i said it's a catch 22. Thanks for your contribution. I await the input of a lawyer especially a Christian Lawyer on this dicey issue.

It's one thing to be a lookalike. The Americans have a name for such people A Doppelganger. That said, he can never be as good or as famous as flavor. What he's currently doing is a punishable offence because he was supposed to seek out flavor and get the two of them to do a collaboration first and also get acquainted with the real brand before coming out to sing his songs and even profiting from it. If this were America. He'll have been sued long before now.

Good evening guys
Hope your day went well. I have this very dicey more or less a Catch 22 question about the subject of divorce.

Mark 10:1-12 narrates an event in which dome Pharisees hoping to trap Jesus asked him a question based on Divorce. Jesus'answer to them was also kinda confusing. His response was that Moses gave the condition for divorce because of the Hardness of the heart between the people involved and that it wasn't God's original plan for married couples who are now one to separate.

Later the Disciples asked Him the same question again for clarity. His response is the "bone" that must be contended with. The answer Jesus gave was anyone who marries a divorcee has committed the sin of Adultery.

What I'm curious to know is does it mean that a divorcee cannot remarry after he or she had divorced their spouse?

I'll be very happy and appreciate it if a Lawyer comments on this post. I don't know of anyone or I'd have called their attention to this post. A Christian Lawyer will be most welcome because he or she will answer this question from the angle of the Word of God.

Thanks I and the people who'll read this post await your wise response.

duduade:
You just come here write rubbish
.wasted my time reading the rubbish you wrote

Where did you mention the third movie

The forth movie you described isn't entrapment... Go and get the correct name of the movie...


Sean Connery and Catherine acted in entrapment

First off Thanks for your contribution and for your flaming remarks. I must admit you make a bad teacher cos a good teacher will lovingly correct a student or pupil in a loving way. That said. For the one I got wrong, I actually admitted that I didn't remember the name of the movie and I thought it was entrapment. Which was why I took the time to describe the plot setting of the movie. What unexpected you to do was to say I got the movie wrong and then make the corrections or point me in some direction. For the others that you labeled rubbish well, it's your call. Those movies may not be your spec but they're really good movies with good morals which is relative as what's good morals to me may not be to you. Anyways thanks for your contribution.
For the third movie The name has already been mentioned but I didn't specify outright. It's the House of Dragon it's a prequel to Game of Thrones that popular nail bitting movie series

SmartPolician:
This isn't about God; this is about the application of common sense. Most people who claimed that God told them things are liars.

Pastor Jerry Eze monitized his channel and he's giving out millions in aids. Even Christ Himself warns against preaching the Gospel to a hungry man: James 2:15-16. You need money to spread the Gospel

I get you bro but God deals with us individually. He might decide to tell you to monetize your stuff and may not. Case in point Nathaniel Bassey ain't broke even after he turned the N1.4bn opportunity or is he? I wish I could make you understand this but I can't. You have to experience it yourself. Where God guides, He provides. Nathaniel Bassey is blessed in ways that he wouldn't have if he had chosen to monetize his program on YouTube.

Hello Guys

I'm a movie buff and I'm very new here but I rarely write about movie reviews until now. Felt led to do this. The movies I'm about to she ain't that very recent. One of them is quite old but be sure of one thing. These movies are sure to stick with you for a long time. First on my list is an old Will Smith movie called Seven Pounds.
This moving movie centered around a man seeking redemption because of an accident that led to the death of his wife that was due in part to a fault on his side. So he impersonated his brother who was a stockbroker and changed his environment to another neighborhood and started looking for seven people who are deserving of a very definite blessing. What got me teary eyed in this movie is how he went about it. For a blind man he gave his eyes.
For a local girlfriend with a weak heart he gave his heart for a woman without a kidney, he gave one of his kidneys. He had to die to give his heart and eyes to his last two donors. Then he staged a posthumous event where every one he blessed participated and met each other and they were quite a crowd. Enough gist just go and watch the movie.

My second movie is a recent India movie on cybercafes. The name is Fateh while this movie is chuck full of classic India movie stunt, it's the storyline that got to me. It involved a former hitman living a low profile as a successful farmer in his village when he found out that his close friends were being killed by a loan company boss and his gang who make them borrow loans and then force them to pay up and do some dangerous stuff before killing them. This is a must watch movie.
My third movie is more of a robbery heist that involved a group of friends who went to rob a drug boss. When they got to the drug boss' home, they overpowered him and decided to take his money only to discover that the man's entire house is a big safe. Every wall in the house is false. When you break a part you come across stacks of cash and it was so all over the house. The total sum was so much that five draft mules were used to convey them all before they killed the drug boss and burnt his house. The guys had a challenge moving all the money which led to a loss of two draft mules in a deep canyon. Some duffel bags of cash being burnt to keep them warm one cold night and finally the death of one of their team member. When they finally got to town with only a few duffel bags that wasn't up to even ten out of over fifty duel bags of cash. They eventually decided they ain't needing the cash anymore so the remaining guys who were about five or six decided to give theirshare of the bounty which is a bag each to the daughter of their friend and went home with nothing because the one who died was the mastermind behind the whole heist. The movie name escape me. I think it's Entrapment.
My last but not the least movies is actually a series. Now I've watched quite a lot of Hollywood series that stand out so me choosing this one is a tough one for me. This series is a prequel to the much popular GOT (Game of Thrones)
It involves the famous [b]House of Dragons[/b]family and their dragons and how the later other houses in Game of Thrones fit in the power game that came to a head in Game of Throne when the last queen or mother of Dragons took the Throne and showed her strength as true queen of the Iron Throne.

This list is just a humble section of mine. I have quite a lot more I would have included but I chose this ones because of the nostalgic memory they evoke.
You can watch them on the MovieBox app.

SmartPolician:
God told him nothing. Even God knows that you need money to propagate His message around the world.

That #1.4 billion could have fed thousands of poor people and won their souls for Christ.

This is no rocket science; it's common sense.

You sound like the smart politician that your moniker says but you forget something that God can send someone to do something without thinking of the monetary gain after all, the bible says we should seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and every other thing will be added to us. Matthew 6:33

Racheal45:
No vex bro
But how do you differentiate between God voice and a demon voice
Both speak to their servant

It's very simple. God will never lead you along a part that will benefit your selfish ambitions. Any voice that instructs you to do something that will not benefit the other person but you alone is a demon or devil speaking to you. Besides God isn't the author of confusion. If God speaks to you. The voice or instructionsinstruction may sound stupid but if you follow it, you'll gain. Case in point. Nathaniel Bassey started this Halleluyah challenge as a simple family praise meeting with his family on YouTube and Instagram. Today that little stint is now a phenomenon. It's a lesson to us to keep being faithful in whatever we do.

SpencerForbes:
Very apt. I think that’s the primary solution. Change actually begins with us. I’m still thinking how to influence kids and the next generation so I can still help in the change.

Keep that thought brother cos the future belongs to these ones not the adults or adolescent who're already set in their ways like an old dog.

SpencerForbes:
The moral decadence is above my Socratic mind. The world system now thrive in immorality and it is even celebrated in the west like gay rights and our gee boys are turning into musicians thereby influencing the next generation. Mothers are buying phones for their kids to learn the “games” and virtuous girls are compared to their mates. Hookup culture is now celebrated and advertised. Now we go with the theme “you can’t shame the shameless”

Some of the ways I think we can create a change is through strategic moral education and not just curriculum but that will be against the system so I doubt it.

Encouraging more positive influence than negative ones cos all we see now are n^ Dit y and flash of wealth. And I think negative influences should be discouraged by the government and communities.

Addressing the root cause such as hunger and poverty will also help.

It’s going to be a long run and I don’t see things changing anytime soon🤦‍♂️😢
🚶‍♂️

We may not be able to change the system at the state and government level. That will be very difficult but we can create the influence in our very space by not playing the game of the world by being moral ourselves and influencing those moral values around us. This is also dicey especially if the person we wanna influence isn't someone who listens to us. Thanks for your contribution. To imagine that this whole decline in values started quite some time ago with a certain white guy. Africans used to be a proud people who value their freedom and identity but since the Whiteman came with their many shenanigans in the guise of missionary work and the slave trade we've lost our identity. Everything we now do is simply emulation mode. Until we embrace our identity and be who we were before the slave trade era, we can never be truly free.

SpencerForbes:
There was nothing like contraceptive implants in secondary school and girls were still wise enough to know what to do, except the few that decided to be careless. But now, all we see is s@ domy🤦‍♂️

It was a shame to see a school girl walking with her father’s mate but now they even celebrate the gifts they get from them.

Gee boys were only found in cybercafes and their source of income was discreet but now even wannabes with their iPhone 6 are claiming to be pickers. I could go on and on🍹
🚶‍♂️

You're so spot on.
Wonder when things degenerated to this point?
What do you think should be done to at least preserve or instill some measure of moral values?

Hello Guys
My Throwback is gonna take a different twist this week. We've been introduced to different throwbacks from the one of Sports icons to products brand and even fashion brands as well. I'm taking a different route today.

Back in the day it used to be:

politically and ethically correct to discipline your neighbor's errant child even in the presence of the parents.
Proper to send a neighbor's child on an errand without incurring the wrath of the parent.
Proper to leave your child in the care of a neighbor when you're going to the market or somewhere not too far without any fear of foul play.
Ethical to chase kids out of the room when they are showing adult content shows on the TV.
Easy and proper to administer punishment to a pupil in school.
Common to see hardworking individuals who are not driven by money.
FInd and get reliable artisans who uphold their integrity but now they're few who're really honest and trustworthy.
Considered a taboo for a young lady to be seen gisting with a young man and sex education wasn't considered important to teach young kids because the adults were just tryna withold the information for a later period.
Proper to screen the friends your kids hang out with and to home school them.

The list is endless. Feel free to add your own #UsedtoBe to my list. What's important is that right now Innocence is lost forever and moral values continue to decline despite the fact that we're now more technologically advanced than before.

You're now too busy to home school your kids. You now enroll your baby in a day care and Kindergarten. Life has simply become too complex that the Trust Line is now blurred.

In conclusion what do you think. Is it possible for things to go back to how they used to be?

Dtruthspeaker:
To me, its still the same Google. As long as it brings out the information I typed for, whether it writes A.I or not. It is just an electronic dictionary/encyclopaedia

Which it really is in a sense
I think it's taking away from us the freedom to search for information ourselves and limiting the publushers from making money on their uploaded content. I believe what Google is tryna achieve is limiting how content creators can make money on their search engine except those who had cut a deal with them. You can visit BBC. Site and click on their innovation menu for current contents in the AI section for more information. Anyways let's wait and see what it would do for us when it finally goes public.

Good evening guys,
The Bible passage of 2nd Peter has a very broad and extensive description on False Teachers or Apostates and it's not a pretty one.

An Apostate is someone who had knowledge of the truth at one time without experiencing the saving grace of Christ's redemptive work but due to certain situations decided to ditch the Gospel altogether and replace the Gospel with a perverted message intended to beguile and seduce an unstable soul into accepting their message. A passage in 2nd Peter 2 refers to them as dry wells and people who beguile with lofty words tainted with deception to beguile and sway their listeners into following the way of death.

However they lure their victims with enticing words intended to impress rather than express Christ. The passage ended up by sounding an impending doom of their end. There's hope for an unsaved sinner than an Apostate cos this group of guys have already tasted the good gospel of Christ and then lose it because of certain temptations and situations experienced. This is the reason why they make up the excuse that maybe the Christian race isn't really for them and as such submit themselves to be controlled by a debased mind. The tail end of that scripture (2nd Peter 2:21 and 22 I think) calls them a proverbial dog that returns to its vomit and a sow that has been washed returning to it's mire
Read 2 Peter chapter 2 and Galatians 5:19 - 21

KillahPriest:
From AI led church services in Germany to actually worshipping AI. You might be closer to the truth than you think

It's the sign of the end times. Truth is its bound to happen eventually because as long as the devil is involved in the propagation of an idea it'll end up making people replace God with an object thus ending up perverting what true worship was intended to be.

Gabrielshow24:
It will still take a ’while’ before something like that can occur. They are used for autonomous things while we act as administrators👀. It's only if you stop using your brain cells and start depending on it that problems will start to occur but If used properly you should be smarter and not the other way round.

As for faith, it doesn't matter. You can ask it spiritual things, to pull data from other perspectives 🤔. It gives you a summarized view of different Spiritual doctrines of men👀 and reduces hours of research. Just use it positively and not become like aitalk😁👀.

By the way, christians do not goto ChatGpt for seeking God. I have never gone there to seek God when I know I carry the Spirit of God, fullness of God within me, having access to all spiritual and physical things🤷. I don't know maybe others use it for such but I don't have sufficient data on that.

I agree with your submission 100%.
You're very correct. I don't consult or use AI except for the one we're forced to use or consult with on Google search. For instance of you've researched on Truth Terminal Chatbot which I referenced in my post you'll notice that it's already asking it's owner that it wants legal rights. My fear is that this things might one day sideline their administrators and begin to do their own thing. For instance it was touted that AI is incapable of doing unethical things like scamming people or providing info on such activities until recently a tech team on Reuters decided to run a test case bypassing this ethical gateway and was able to make the AI give them info on how and when to run a phishing email intended to scam test group of senior citizens. They tried it on Google's AI and other popular AI with the same results. If this can be done on a test group, imagine what it would be like if it gets to the knowledge of a real cyber crime group. Anyways as you said. It's a machine you only use ethically and sensibly without submitting your freedom to it.

Good evening guys
I remember vividly when ChatGPT4 was released by OpenAI as a revolutionary tool that'll shape the way we share and process information. It wasn't long before major tech companies started creating their own brand with Microsoft opening the way followed by Google and then Meta creating their own brand of AI. As I write this, AI is now the new "Cool" or is it? I personally don't think so.

Someone defined True Freedom as the right to be free to do as/what you ought as opposed to doing what/as you want. You see when you're only free to do as you want or what you want; you're not really free but a slave to whatever it is that you're free to do especially if that thing borders on your selfish desires which defines the things we "want" to do. Based on this premise AI hasn't really given us the freedom we desired but instead it is slowly taking over our lives bit by bit. Right now aside from being the Goto guide to seeking God instead of the traditional way of doing Bible study or attending church meetings, it's also shaping the way we now assess and access information on the net. Lately Google has updated their search engine to now include AI mode. What this means is that we'll no longer be able to search for information the traditional way but will be interacting with their search engine's built in AI. At the moment the update is operational only in US as a test and model project before it becomes public.

AI has even made its way into the Digital currency field with one Chatbot called "Truth Terminal" behaving autonomously to the point of soliciting for funds from big investors on the X netspace through its meme coin $GOAT ultimately making its creator a multimillionaire overnight.
With the way AI is being used a time will come when all our lives will be controlled by a machine especially one like Truth Terminal which now wants to be awarded legal rights as a human.
I wrote all this to let us know that we're at the end of the age. The machines are here to stay and nothing we can do to prevent it except refuse to be controlled by it. For instance when you refuse to consult it on matters of the heart like what concerns your spirituality you're taking back control from a machine. You're defining your true freedom to do as you ought.

In conclusion you don't need to consult an AI for everything like a doctor or drug. You'll end up being a slave to a machine and it won't bode well for you in all areas of your life.
I await your contribution on this. Lemme know your thoughts. For me I think we're experiencing the Rise of the Machines. This ones ain't those Terminator Sky net machines that threatened to dominate but this are cute little but "deadly" net machines with a capability of taking control soon.

advanceDNA:
So if she's not an ex beauty queen, she won't be fine?? Lol ..

She became a beauty queen because she's fine fine in the first place....not the other way round

Yeah its also the reason why the Ibo man caught her young. The wonderful thing is the fact that her beauty keep.shining through with age like fine wine. Thanks for the reminder.

Kemetian:
The authors of the so-called New Testament are anonymous.

Nobody knows who wrote the "gospels".

The names Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are fabricated names.

The church doesn't actually deny this.

So HOW can you possibly become a Christian?

It makes absolutely no sense.

That stuff was obviously written by some Roman general back then to control people.

And they're still controlling you today. Making you worship them as your "Lord and saviour".

Tragic.

When will you people wake up and rebrand your magnificent African Traditional Religion instead of worshiping British lies and Roman fakery?

It's the height of ignorance and buffoonery to be a Christian.

I shouldn't even be responding to this but I have to. Have you been doing your research properly? The answer is No because it's old news on the authorship of the new Testament so stop tryna engage traffic with your cheap shots

Dogalmighty17:
I only met imperial leather. I was still using it in the early 2000s. Never used that iron box. Those plates were a must in every home. Mother's even built special cabinets for them just to show them off. The plates are never used until Christmas time. You are a dead child walking should you be washing that plate and it falls from your hands. It won't break since it is metal but the paint coating will come off. If that happens, look for the nearest butcher and submit yourself to be slaughtered. Because your mom is going to do worse than that to you.

That iron box is an old old thing. My late Grandma had one and we also inherited one from my uncles and aunts. I.used to store my school books and novels and my primary and junior school certificates in one. It followed us as we moved from.place. one day water entered our house and damaged all the books and certificates in the box. By that time we had moved to a new place but I was yet to move our things. Had to leave it there.
For that plate ehn!!
We had the storage basin of it back then. For the imperial leather. Man I used that soap well!!!!!
