Foreign AffairsRe: BRICS Full Members And Their GDP As Of (2025) by Bishopsgate(m): 8:16pm On Nov 17, 2025
coolcharm:
All of the BRICS GDP is slightly bigger than that of the USA @ $30 Trillion

You see why the US flexes
but you forgot to mention that they achieved that GDP without the type of humongous debt the USA has.

net-net, substance over form, they're bigger in GDP than the US

CrimeRe: Nigerian Gets Arrested Abroad For Calling Medication "Drugs" by Bishopsgate(m): 11:30am On Feb 04, 2025
Rebuker:
Summary:
A Nigerian woman in the UK was arrested due to a misunderstanding caused by Nigerian English. After buying medication for her husband, she called him and said, "I got the drugs," which nearby people misinterpreted as illegal substances. The police detained and questioned her, even searching her home before realizing it was a mistake. She later warned others to be mindful of language differences to avoid similar trouble.
I very seriously would have fought this type of harassment. The us of the word "Drugs" is not wrong and is not "Nigerian English".

There TOTALLY NOTHING WRONG with calling your medication "DRUGS" and nobody can prove me wrong. In fact, I would have sued the police for harassment, seeking punitive damages too. Did the woman say "hard drugs"? NO!

She simply said "DRUGS" which is a term broadly used to classify many things ingested or applied to the human body to treat or manage ailments/conditions or their symptoms. There are many types and classification of drugs, so on what basis did this police officers conclude that the one she was referring to were of the illicit/hard kind?

Oxford defines a DRUG as follows:

"a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body".

an example of its use is: "a new drug aimed at sufferers from Parkinson's disease"


So on what basis was she "detained" and harassed? Is Paracetamol no longer a drug? Is Chloroquine no longer a drug?

The Police erred

Christianity EtcRe: Wealthy Pastors Flying Private Jets Will Find It Difficult Making Heaven! by Bishopsgate(m): 8:23pm On May 26, 2024
damosky12:
That portion of scripture you quoted doesn't prove that God has a persona vendetta with wealthy people. Through scriptures, God had wealthy men.

Abraham, His friend, was wealthy.
Jacob was wealthy.
Joseph was wealthy.
David was wealthy.
Solomon was wealthy.
Job was wealthy.
Many many of God's people in the Old Testament were wealthy.

In the new testament, Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy.
Erastus was wealthy.
Barnabas was wealthy.
Many in the early church were rich!


Abusing a Bible verse to push a silly narrative would not suffice.

You can't build a doctrine on just one single passage, more so one single phrase which is misunderstood...



Mark 10:17-25
[17]And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
[18]And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
[19]Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
[20]And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
[21]Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
[22]And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
[23]And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that TRUST IN RICHES to enter into the kingdom of God!
[25]It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.



Apparently, the clarification here is what Mark supplies us. Jesus wasn't talking about the average rich man anywhere, but a rich man that trusts in His riches instead of trusting in God.

And that is a no-brainer. To trust in riches is to not trust in God. The Epistles also echo the same thought to rich Christians.

1 Timothy 6:17-18
[17]Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
[18]That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;


God is not against wealth. Wealth is a useful tool for His work on earth OBVIOUSLY. What is against God is to allow money to take God's place. That's what Jesus and His Apostles addressed.

shelve the OP's Bible confusion
Which one of those wealthy people you mentioned were confirmed to be in heaven in the same bible you've been copiously quoting?

Christianity EtcRe: Is It True The Forbidden Fruit In The Garden Was Sex? (Photo) by Bishopsgate(m): 10:19am On Apr 21, 2024
jesusjnr2020:
Is It True The Forbidden Fruit In The Garden Was Sex?

You may have also heard the claims being made by some so-called Christians that the forbidden fruit in the garden was sex, and that Eve had sex with the serpent, also that Cain was the seed of the serpent.

As weird and irritating as that idea sounds, could they be right?

The best way to find out is to go back to the beginning to see what the Bible says about that.

Genesis 2:9 (KJV)

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

So first of all, it was made perfectly clear that the trees God planted in the garden were not in the figurative but literal sense just as we see them up to this very day.

Trees that produce edible fruits which could serve as food to man.

God planted different kinds of such trees which produce edible fruits in the garden, among which was the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:15-17 (KJV)

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


So it was after God had planted those trees which produce fruits that could serve as food to man in the garden, that He gave man the right to eat of the fruits of every one of them, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

That's actually where the term "forbidden fruit" stemmed from.

It was because God had forbidden man from eating of the edible fruit produced by that particular tree out of all the trees He had planted in that garden.

So where could they have possibly gotten the idea that the forbidden fruit was sex?

According to the Bible so far, we can all see it definitely wasn't from God.

God bless.
I have read all that you wrote on this thread.

You write the question and answered it yourself, definitively concluding that it wasn't sex, so why ask the question again, when you believe your answer/cum interpretation to be "fact"?

I would have loved to dive into this topic with you, but clearly, your question was rhetorical and not one from an individual who truly wants to "listen so as to be heard"

So I would say to each man his truth.

Peace brother!
