I dont oftn like to be dragged into arguments of this sort since it doesnt move my life forward. However let me make a few points

harakiri:
Okay. . .

(1)According to the history of the bible (from Adam till the present day), the world is not older than 5000 years and yet, there are archaeological findings dating back to millions and even billions of years back.There is no mention of ancient civilizations, dinosaurs or prehistoric plant life.All that was mentioned are what we see around us today.Could you explain this discrepancy?

The age of the Earth is not a major concern. God created the Earth no matter how long the Earth has existed.

harakiri:
Okay. . .
(2)In the book of Genesis, Cain killed Abel out of jealousy.He was exiled from Eden and he went to the land of Nod and married there.Can you explain who those people were coz from my recollection, at that time it was just Adam,Eve and two kids.So who are these people that were "omitted" in the story and who is this mysterious woman Cain married? Was it his sister? Or did he get married to animals?

Since the bible doesnt give s any clue, i dont know what to say.  

harakiri:
(3)In the same bible, the lord was angry with the world he created and was determined to destroy his creation (how ironic ).He instructed Noah to build an arc and put pairs of all living things in that ark.To the best of my knowledge, botanists spend their entire lives collecting and identifying species of a particular organism/animal/plant.Even if he lived 2,000 years on earth, there was no way he could have been able to achieve such a feat coz there were no airplanes,buses or ships to travel across the globe to get all pairs of organisms.Are we trying to say he came down to Africa to get the African elephant and then trekked back to India to get the Indian elephant? Think about it and you'll see how ridiculous it sounds.No roads.No buses.No planes.No ships.No rockets.No internet and yet. . .

What is impossible with man is possible with God.

harakiri:
(4)The current bible used in Christianity today has two parts. . .the old and new testament.Now there are practices in the old testament that most churches especially Pentecostals have discontinued e.g eye for an eye, sacrificial offerings and so on.When you ask them, they tell you that Christ came and all things are washed away rendering the old testament null and void.If this is true, why then do they still revert to Malachi 3:10 when it comes to psyching up the congregation to give more offerings and tithes? Weren't all things of old washed away? The same people will tell you that no part of the bible is irrelevant and the same people choose the parts that suit them.Are they confused about who and what they are worshiping?Do they even have an idea of what they are doing?

Too bad for the bad guys in christianity. Full stop

harakiri:
(5)The god in the bible is referred to as the all knowing god. . .the omni potent, omni present and all that. If he is all these, then he should have known that Eve would be tempted by the serpent and she would fall.He should have known how his creation would go till this present day.Why then did he create man when he knew that failure was imminent? The bible says he destroyed the world once and will do it again (some call it rapture, others call it Armageddon, a few think it's both ways). Why create something and condemn it? Is the bible implying that god is confused? That he makes errors? Isn't he supposed to be the all knowing god? Explain this please.

I wont answer that for God. I think He has to answer that for you. Its a matter of time. So No comment

harakiri:
(6)The people who brought us Christianity also brought guns,liquor and slave trade (i don't know about you but that doesn't sound "holy-like" to me).They superimposed their religion on the black folks as a means of control.The same people who brought us their religion don't take it as serious as we do.I might be wrong but Nigeria to the best of my knowledge is the most prayerful/religious country in the world (there is hardly any street in Lagos without at least 2 churches or fellowships) and yet, with all the abundance of religion, we are the most cold hearted people to our fellow human beings! Christianity as we know it today originated from the Catholic church whose practices are chiefly unorthodox or in plain English. . .idol worship (how else can you explain worshiping a graven image of Mary, praying to saints,kissing the rings and feet of priests and the rosary. . .all of which aren't mentioned in the bible). Christians all claim to be worshiping one god. . .why then can't a Christ Embassy worshiper spend a few Sundays at Celestial Church of Christ? Why can't a C.A.C Pastor minister in Assemblies of God? Why can't Winners Chapel members worship in K&S? Or are there different gods? Are the so called Christians confused? Please explain these few questions satisfactorily and i'll hold my peace.

The British did not bring us Christianity. They brought us Christian Religion just to get at us. Religion is about gods. Christianity is a way of life.

harakiri:
NB : Please, don't give me the usual "god works in mysterious ways" or " the ways of the lord cannot be understood" or " do not question the lord" crap.I've heard it one time too many.

Thanks.

I know you still have a lot of confusions. Pity


Cheers!

Great work.

Its a pity that obama is helping fulfil prophecis that willl lead to the fall of America

harakiri:
Which god? Do you know anything about what you are worshiping? If not for promises of miracles,blessings and divine intervention. . .would you be going to church? Is it not because of your personal up-liftment you go to church? When i was still a naive "Christian", i read a lot about the torture the apostles went through for the sake of the gospel.How many of you so called "Christians" can face giving up your life for Christianity? How many of you will chose Christianity if given the option of denouncing Christ or die an agonizing death of being fried alive in a gigantic pot of hot oil! How many of you can physically carry a heavy cross to be crucified for your faith? How many of you have the guts to face death bravely like Stephen? How many of you can withstand the trials and tribulations of Paul and Silas (imprisoned for the rest of your natural life for your faith).The answer is NIL!

In churches today (especially the pentecostal ministries), if you're going through trials, they either tell you it's because you don't have faith or you aren't giving enough to the lord or in most cases, the worshipers defect to another church where the "spirit of god" really is!

lol. . .i laugh in Osewanese

Let me start this way. I go to Church because I need intervention and help in my life. Is that okay now?

Next - many of us are still prepared to die if the opportunity presents itself. The apostles did not go about looking for who will kill them. The situation came and they had no choice. It was a dispensation.

Finally, you do not have any point. Pls give your life to God man. Its not late

Bros easy. ppl here get sense small. This one na yahoo yahoo we dey call am. E fit work for uruguay not Nairaland. Sorry.

I get peoples emails through optins - like one here - www.dandollars.com. Not like ur own

thumbs up

I just bumped into this. Let me do some findings and come up with something.

It is quite easy. You can do that at the widget section. Go to themes - widgets - text/html - paste your affiliate code.

If you dont get it send me a mssg at www.wazohost.com. If I have the time I might paste it for u.

Also you can download some useful plugins and use the clickbank plugins which in my opinion is better

You are targetting a good niche. But the fact that you are using free blogger means you will be limited in so many ways. secondly the theme yiou are using is not the best for the niche you are working on.

My advise, get a domain and a hosting account and use wordpress for your blog and niche. This is so you can be taken seriously from the beggining. See www.wazohost.com

Man, i think you shld listen to DC and save ur domain names. Most of the football stars today were not encouraged by their parents wen they were getting started as kids

Our life naturally tries to revolve around get a good education and then get a job. But thats a poor way to live.

Even if u don't have time to manage ur site just park d domain somewhere and retain it. My instinct tells me that u will still come back to this in the future.

I have learnt from experience that the best time not to sell is wen u need money. My two cents

I have not dealt with them. Maybe you should contact them to get them to answer your questions.

All the same, I can be of help. I have developed two domain registration and web hosting companies. One for the outsie world - www.zaski.com and then one the immediate enviroment. - www.wazohost.com


You might want to give us a try.

Did u see us at www.wazohost.com. Many many feautures for you. Check it out

We can be of help to you ate www.wazohost.com. Take a look and send me a mssg on d site.

How many members does your forum ngnmedia have. I mean real members, not spam members

Average monthly income. Ok let me guess. Some times I do 3 or 4 sites a month. It depends on the size and nature of the job. But the ones I am doing now, is N25K. I charge more than 40k sometimes. For PHP, database driven sites, like ones for schools, I could charge 250-500k. Though they dont come often, maybe once in a quarter, its about marketing. I need to do more selling. I've not been serious with my website design marketing

So if you ask me, I'd say its not fixed like DC said. But if your marketing is good, then u shld be getting anywhere near 80k - 100k.

So if you're considering going into it, i'd say you shld give it a push. Its about how good u are with selling

We wedded on April 3rd this year. We started the relationship in 1999. You do the calsulation. Thats 11 years.

Rastamann:
Many of you are here saying bla bla bla. How many of you people can even play football? All you do is to sit and critize those who play. These guys did their best. Do you think that any of the SE players want to lose the match? The SE did all they can to win. In everything we do in life there is always some shortcomings and possible room for improvement. So learn to give kudos where and when necessary.

This is a stupid statement. I am not paid or promised IM$$$$ to play soccer. One must be good at what he does. This team simply disappointed me. Thank God my heart did not fail during the match.

Messi this messi that= rats. We are all men and should stand to what we are doing. Someone sholud call that oyibo man and warn him he did not all that money from us for nothing. i  dont care how good you played. We care about results

I use to be like that. I would bow down my face while talking to a lady even while in school. Maybe because of my beein churcheous or  coming from a disadvataged background.

But then one day it happend. This girl - my JAMB student in one of the extra mural classes- sent me a note. Guess what was in it

" I like you. You're a good teacher, godly and very knowledgeable"

That was it. As they say the rest is history. We became friends and today we are married. This happened about 8  years ago and I'm 32 today while she's 27 doing her final year in medical school.

The point - Some really good guys can ggrow up very shy due to many reasons. If you cannot be as bold as my student, now my wife did, you just have to create a meeting point and stylishly make your true feelings known

But let me warn you, this guy will need to read a  lot of motivational books and hear many teachings on self confidence. So you really have a great job to do in him. Why not invite him to ur church to get started

Let me get this clear. Do you need a site like that designed or you need to learn how to do it yourself.

If you need one, we can handle that at wazohost.com


If you need to learn it then it is definitely not a lesson one can post here. To do a church website you simply need to know how to use Fireworks, Switch or Flash and then bond them in dreamweaver. Not that difficult but could be if you are just starting out.

If you are in Lagos or can come to Lagos I can arrange a one or two weeks class for you on that or get you videos if you chose. Maybe you should contact me at wazohost.com for more

Thanks

Sorry if this is an interruption. But if you give us a try at www.wazohost.com or www.zaski.com, you wont be disappointed

Omo na waooh. Anyway, maybe u shld help me shek out this site - www.zaski.com. Its not opening on my end. Dont know why

Dual Core:
And I will stay here and watch someone come up with a good domain and watch for one week until its registered abi?
No hating but if any body spits out any domain that lights a bulb in my head and is available, e don go. Just telling u my mind and the mind of many others wey no wan talk.

U know i thought about this too but I think guys here will respect intellectual work and help us run the competition. Pls guys lets play it cool

Ok everyone, this is how it goes. I am a fan of having good business names. I wont tell you how many domain names I own and have hosted but they are quite a number.

In the other thread I talked about the fact that I feel very disgusted with with nigerian netpreneurs loading the internet with naiia this, naira this , naija that. I think nairaland is enough for us

C'mon guys where is our creativity. The net is www, meaning world wide. Lets start doing good braistorming with our business names.

Now this is my challenge. If you can come up with a decent and attractive domain name that all posters here will adjude as the winner I will register it for you free. So this is how it goes. Simply state a name and purpose. And at the end of one week if those who posted says your name is the winner, I register it free for you

Example

Domain name: goal.com

Can be used for: a football website

Tip. Name must still be available. The shorter the better. I know my 10$ is small but let me be the first to get us thinking. what do you say?

All foreign. Well see wazohost.com. Best
