solite3:
So, we know that the Christian will have a heavenly body like Jesus’ “glorious body” (Philippians 3:21).
No we don't know anything of the sort! We simply read am for book, and some would wonder if those who reported it to those who wrote it were on cheap weed.

What next after flatearth? The sun is inside the earth... Huh?
Yes. Everyone knows the sun is inside the dome of the earth, fueled by Japanese people from the Land of the Rising Sun who work diligently to make it burn and warm the earth.

budaatum:
Don't mind them! They don't know that the sun rises everyday in Japan, the Land of the rising Sun, where millions of Japanese work through the night piling wood on a fire to make it burn. America knew this was the source of ultimate world power so they dropped atomic bombs on them in an attempt to steal the sun, but they unfortunately failed.

They will try again, in Trump's second term!

Christianity Etc › Re: Did God Want Adam And Eve To Eat The Forbidden Fruit? The Answer Is Yes by budaatum: 5:12pm On Jan 01, 2020

gross ignorance is all I see here
Then consider reducing the ignorance or just leave the thread please.
Christianity Etc › Re: Did God Want Adam And Eve To Eat The Forbidden Fruit? The Answer Is Yes by budaatum:
I agree the answer is yes. God can not possibly have wanted Adam and Eve to remain dumb so we need a new interpretation of this narrative.

2kaybiel:
Yes. He knew they will and they did. He tempted them and they failed, God still cursed them.
This doesn't sound right though. Why curse them for what you intended they should do? I know the text says "curse" but might it not have been a blessing?

Just think. If satan can meddle in the Garden of Eden, can he not have meddled with the text of the Bible, or our understanding of it?

tpiar:
Your question should be why was it important they leave the garden permanently?
Your question is very important too. Hopefully we shall find answers in this thread.

These trains should be built in Nigeria to create jobs for Nigerians instead of being bought from across "high seas"! Government should invest in Innosson or somewhere in Aba and have them made! (No tribalism intended, just that "Made in Aba" of the 70s and 80s must have improved in quality by now, or would have if........).

Op, edit that title please! This is one where we all should be writing to our reps and senators to tell them what they ought to be doing since it seems they have not got a clue.

lol...let him come back but this time changed
I miss him already and feel very sad that he committed suicide. He was repeatedly warned to repent and accept Christ into his life and live but he must have thought he was God and didn't need Christ. We should not be too swift to write him off though. Remember what happend to Christ after we supposedly crucified him? Don't know if the same happens to suicides, but we should still wait three days to see if it happens to jnr (though it would have to be under none of his previous monikers!).

Foreign Affairs › Is Trump Losing The Trade War? by budaatum(op): 5:14am On Jan 01, 2020
Talk to anyone in Trumpland, and you’ll hear that America is winning the trade war. “The economic burden is falling vastly more on them than on us,” proclaimed the President’s chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow in early August as the conflict escalated. But if you look past the rhetoric and crunch the numbers, a strikingly different picture emerges. The more Trump ratchets up tensions, the more he hurts the U.S. economy. By forcing U.S. companies and consumers to pay far more for everything from sneakers to steel, Trump is inflicting a heavy price that could plunge the country into recession.

There are two issues: First, the way the President has structured his tariffs is creating what economists refer to as “deadweight” losses that threaten GDP growth (more on that later). Second, China has cannily avoided such pitfalls by being far more judicious in its tariff strategy.

Take Trump’s latest round of tariffs, slated to take effect at the start of September. Those new duties target for the first time a wide swath of consumer goods, some $300 billion in toys, footwear, apparel, and some tech gear (Trump has delayed some levies till December). The new categories will be hit with tariffs just in time for holiday shopping.

According to a ­recent study from researchers at the New York Federal Reserve, Columbia, and Prince­ton, in 2018, U.S. domestic prices rose “one-to-one with tariffs levied in that year.” And contrary to what some Trump economists have claimed, “Chinese exporters did not reduce their prices.”

That’s leading to what Stephen Redding, the Princeton economist who coauthored the study, calls “deadweight” losses. Those are the extra costs that producers incur—and customers pay—for goods they used to purchase from China but now buy from third countries, where the U.S. gets no tariff revenue.

sonmvayina:
I can't make or or tail of this your post...
At least you are honest. The following is an aside.

One problem I find most people have is we see through lenses. We think we see what is before us, but we actually look through the lenses of our (mis)conceptions and prejudices which distort how we see, so instead of seeing what's before us, we actually make what is before us look as we expect things to be. Religion is very faulty in doing this. Its like tinted glasses collouring reality.

Most of us have heard quite a lot about religion before we read the book of the religion, so instead of approaching it with a clean mind, we approach it primed and therefore see what we expect to see or what we've been told is there. Just imagine if you'd read a Bible without first being told about it, I bet 'believe' would not be your first response, nor your first concern. First, you'd want to understand what you are reading, and if you were interested, you'd want to find out more about the book, and if anyone told you to believe what you read you'd likely say they were mad and ask if they believed every book they read. Try virgin birth, for instance, or that a book was written by God and published in a printing press in heaven; why would that not sound absurd to you?

Unfortunately, many of us do not have this priviledge, having been born into religious families who feed us with it with our first meals, which unfortunately stops us being objective, and is why I think you "can't make head or tail of this your post". It isn't what you are used to hearing in these type of discussions, and does not fit in with your prepared arguments.

The solution is what Christ meant when he said 'unless one becomes as a child, one shall not enter the Kingdom of God'. It simply means one should get rid of one's preconceived ideas and see (as in seek to understand) things for what they are. Its very difficult, but possible for those who have the desire to not be blinded by their own subjectivity.

I, fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you see it), was not primed into religion. The first gods I ever heard of were Greek and Egyptian gods, and any lessons on them were taught objectively. Imagine my shock when I found gods were things people believed in! The thought of believing Homer's Oddyseus (a bible of the early Greeks) and stories about Osiris and Horus et al were just absurd to me, and Yahweh even more so, especially when told to me by people who believed rats actually talk because they'd seen Tom talk to Jerry on telly.

We do Christianity and Islam, which are both religions and primitive modes of education, because our forefathers who adopted them saw they were superior to our own ways of educating. Unfortunately for us, rather than see them as methods of education, we think the doctrines are the education itself, which they sort of are but there's much more to it than that. In my lifetime alone, I've seen us evolve from believing what we are told, to reading the book ourselves and then questioning what we read in order to understand.

I assure you that a time is coming when we would stop believing and understand instead, and then shall we take Yahweh to the bottom of the river and bash its head in just as many have done to Sango, Ogun, Odysseus, Osiris and Horus who are now dead gods. That's what education does to gods. It kills them and frees us from their tyranny, as taught in the lesson of the eyes of Adam and Eve opening when they ate the fruit of knowledge of good and evil and did not die but opened their eyes and became their own gods.

Come to UK today and you'd see what I mean. You'd see lots of ancient churches, but with very few locals worshipping in them. We do yoga and town meetings in them instead, and that's in the ones not yet converted to pubs and residences, but go out on the streets and you'd think you are amongst angels.

Note how atheism, a rare thing just 30 years ago, is increasing in Nigeria. I can assure you that in time, Nigeria too would go the same way, though its unbelievable that we would ever abandon God, or rather, bring God down from faraway heaven and let God reside in our hearts and minds, and be understood for what its meant to make us become, which is godly, as in full of love, regard and respect for one another.

Forgive me if I've not made myself any clearer. As Christ showed, its not easy to make some things understood.

This same people complaining are the same already complaining about VAT increase.


Tax is the major source of revenue for any developed nation.
Tax on profit, which is related to productivity. You can't tax an income that you don't generate. If I make ₦0, I'd pay ₦0 tax.

Sad, very sad. UK budget is almost 30 times that of Nigeria and Nigeria's population is almost thrice that of the UK.
Brazil's Budget was $780 Billion.last year. More than 22 times Nigeria's budget and Nigeria has more population than Brazil. Australia with population slightly above 25 million spent $485 Billion last year. That's 13 times the 2020 budget of Nigeria.
We really need to find alternative source of generating income as Nigeria is set to replace the US as the world's third most populous country in the next 30 years. How are we going to provide jobs and infrastructure for the 405million Nigerians by 2050?
You should check the revenue of those countries to see how much more productive they are, then ask why our revenue is so little.
