Teenage pregnancy is not necessarily the same as unwanted pregancy neither.

These are one of many MEDALS Northern Nigeria bring to Nigeria.
Remove your blinding lenses and see that teenage pregnancy is not confined to Northern Nigeria. Osun State has a lot of underage pregnant girls, as do UK and USA

The rate of teenage pregnancy in the United Kingdom is relatively high, when compared with other developed countries; the only other Western countries with higher teenage pregnancy rates are the United States and New Zealand. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_pregnancy_in_the_United_Kingdom

I don't know Ctorch, but it's a monika that should be banned just for proposing banning others.

I'm just delighted Ctorch's opinion matters equally as little as mine does.

Where did you get the idea each country in the Eurozone doesn't have a central bank?

The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) consists of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks (NCBs) of all 28 member states of the European Union (EU).

Here is a list of central banks of Europe.

And so fvck what?

I'm not a fan of child marriage or whatever, but I hate how this stupid imperialists always want to impose their way of life on us.

Centuries back, the hausas/fulanis have been marrying young girls and the culture lived on. It wasn't a danger to their religion rather it gave less room for being promiscuous

To them, Child bride is bad but they think Gay/lesbian is a normal way of life?
How much of these neo-colonialism do we have to suffer all in the name of "modernization"
It actually is a great danger to them and the entire nation!

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Religion Important? by budaatum:
Religion is the process by which God made humans from dirt. The alchemists would call it making gold from dross, the education of humans so they are better placed to fulfil potential, and the textbook is usually some ancient text.

Religion is important because it is how we teach you to live together on earth instead of ripping each other apart. It is how we ensure you evolve from baboons into human beings.

You just imagine there were no religion or text and let me know if you would not sell your neighbours.

Crime › Re: Man Begs UK Police In God's Name After Being Caught With Expired Car Insurance by budaatum: 2:30pm On Nov 09, 2019
ajl:
Normally police won't stop you on the road to ask for insurance except if you have done something wrong, like jump red light or stop sign, have non-functioning light, overspending, etc. First they ask for your driver's license and then your insurance paper. Don't believe that everyone you see on the road has insurance, white or black. There are a lot of them here in the US. When accident occur such drivers simply abscond.
Not true, not in UK at least where we can tell by data recognising you registration number to tell if you have insurance. Young guys in powerful cars is also a red flag.

Not long after borrowing the money, the "prophet" died after consuming poisoned lamb meat. In other words, he died indebted to a Jew which is ironic considering how much he hated Jews.
Did the Prophet hate Jews? You do know the debt could have been paid by those he left behind, right?

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Was The Book Of Enoch Removed From The Bible? by budaatum: 5:06pm On Nov 08, 2019
Oh, you do not some, Ihe. No doubt from your extensive study, but it is a shame to call insanity that which you do not understand.

I do not have to believe the White House has 300 rooms if I can go inside the White House and count the rooms, after which I should know the number of rooms in the White House since I would bother to seek to know. Bit if I couldn't be bothered to go count, it would be rather odd of me to emphatically claim there are 300 rooms in the White House, unless I have no confidence in my counting abilities of course. Same with God. If I am not quite sure of God I might be inclined to believe what I'm told about God, but once I go and count the rooms, so to speak, why would I merely believe what I know? Wouldn't it be odd to merely believe one has "seen God in the world around you"?

"Seek, and you shall find", is it written, and not "Believe you have found". And yes, Ihe, I have found, so I know that Jesus is indeed Lord.


Ihedinobi3:
There is that insanity that I mentioned.

You are exactly right that ignorance is a choice. Sometimes, it is a passive one, that is a choice to not seek at all. That too has a reward from the Lord.

As for believing, that is proof of the insanity too. Belief is not a pretence to knowledge, by definition. It is merely a state of confidence that something is true or that someone is trustworthy. For example, I may not know how many rooms there are in the White House, but when a brochure or a news company tells me that there are, say, 300, I may believe, that is, take it to be true that there are 300 if I consider the brochure or news company to be trustworthy. The only question would be how the brochure or news company has proved itself to be reliable. If they are then, for all intents and purposes, I know that there are 300 rooms in the White House, even if I have never been in the White House. It is not a pretence any more than it is one to believe that math works how your teacher tells you it does in school.

Because we have seen the world around us, we know that a God exists and we know what He is like. The Gospel only proves what we expect of such a God. The Bible is consistent too with the Gospel and the Witness of Creation. That is why we believe it about things that we cannot see. This is just normal human reasoning. It is how logic works. It is not a false pretence to knowledge when we accept the testimony of someone we consider reliable and act as if that testimony is certain knowledge. It is just a reasonable thing to do.

So, those who believe the Bible can act with confidence that what they believe is entirely true. It is not false pretence. What they actually believe is true. So, they do know the Truth, since they know that the Witness is reliable. They may not have seen the things that they are told for themselves, but they don't need to. They have seen proof of reliability in the Witness and that is enough for them.

I understand that that is not enough for you, Buda. That is alright. It is the difference between you and us. We believe that God does not lie and that the Bible is His Reliable Testimony, so we know that what we learn from the Bible is wholly true. You don't. You can wait until you see the King Himself in order to believe. That too is fine with me. But, of course, until then, you will just do your best to make the walk of Faith a test for all of us who believe and encounter you.

Wisdom is a value description for something that we do. If we believe what we have come to learn is true, then we are wise. If we do not, then we are foolish. That's it. Understanding comes from applying careful thought to the things that we are told by reliable witnesses. When we understand, we make a choice what to do with what we have learned. That choice can be a wise one or a foolish one, as I have described above. So "wisdom" and "understanding" are not the magic words you wish to make them out to be.

As for seeing demons everywhere, I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps that is a bit more of the insanity. The "tremble" part certainly is, since I don't believe I have communicated any such thing anywhere on this platform.

As for leaving the kindergarten classes, it is certainly interesting that you are saying that after previously trying to flatter me for being a "knower" rather than a believer. I'm sure you change as it suits you to try to make the truth a lie and the lie a truth. By all means, stick with your own version of wisdom and understanding, I want no part of it. It is obviously insanity from where I stand.

Sounds like you missed science class in school or you'd have the fundamental "scientific jargons or terminologies" already.

If that's the case, I'll suggest you start at O'Levels and progress to "scientific researches, articles". Or at least research "scientific jargons or terminologies" you come across. Doing that in itself is science, as in 'using your senses to acquire knowledge'.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Was The Book Of Enoch Removed From The Bible? by budaatum:
Ihedinobi3:
What results then from understanding? A decision to believe or not. It is really that simple. You cannot quite escape the choice to believe or not. Understanding what you have to make a choice about does not eliminate the choice itself.

According to you, we ought not to believe. We ought to know for sure.
Understanding is not for believing or not. Not knowing is also an option. The believer however, has to make a show of knowledge they do not and can not have. That, Ihe, is arrogance and leading astray; the humble say when they don't know.

The heart of the discerning acquire knowledge, the ears of the wise seek it out. Proverbs 18:15.
Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. Proverbs 20:15
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—Isaiah 11:2
For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6


Wisdom is what comes from understanding, Ihe. Both are gifts from God. While 'believe' is a thing you chose to do of your own free will, mostly, in the very little you assume to know. No wonder it makes you see demons everywhere and why it makes you tremble.

I'd suggest you leave the kindergarten classes and choose the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+12&version=NIV]greater gifts of God[/url] Wisdom and Understanding. Look around at the fruits produced by God through humans and claim it was not built on these and not on mere belief.

Ihedinobi3:
I'm not sure what consideration is for, if it is not to decide whether to believe something or not. But then, your way of thinking tells me to not expect much in the way of sanity in what you say, so I'll just move on.
One may consider to understand, Ihe, even if not believed. Take you, for instance. Your belief that buda is insane just shows you lack understanding of buda. But I bet you'd claim an understanding of buda is unnecessary, though you would not see that as arrogance.

The Bible is a book, and no one has an inalienable right to it. As to whether I "make life as hard as you can for believers in Jesus Christ" as you falsely claim, "by thy fruits shall ye be judged, Ihe".

You will be ill-advised to believe, I'd say, as it's meant for consideration only. I did after all ask you to invest in a book.

I've checked https://ichthys.com/ numerous times. I find it to be a believers website, as in a website for those who dig no further than surfaces. Seems the section pertaining to History of the Bible is however a work in progress.

"In the Basics series, currently in the process of production, part 7, "Bibliology", will be devoted to this and related issues."

Do let me know when its written.
