Christianity Etc › Re: Should Christians Celebrate Valentine? by budaatum: 11:47pm On Feb 12, 2019

asuustrike1:
Valentine celebration is demonic and shouldn't be celebrated. It has no link to the scriptures neither was he mentioned from Genesis to Revelation

My partner should not set aside a special day amongst all days to celebrate our love with me and if she does we are satanic?! No way! We can set it aside to go and work in an orphanage and feed the poor if we think it's that bad!

Our love is not defiled by what we say, but by what comes out of it.

You may be right it was angels, but the book says it was documented by inspired men.
Perhaps angels inspired the men

If they were inspired people they only need a tiny little to become angels I think, considering who their boss was and the job they had to do. Yeah, that would do for me. They were angels all along or through their inspiration they became angels.

Its not right, but that will be my belief.

Christianity Etc › Darwin Day, 6 Facts About The Evolution Debate by budaatum(op): 8:51pm On Feb 12, 2019

Tuesday is the 210th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, a day now celebrated by some as Darwin Day. Darwin is best known for his theory of evolution through natural selection. When Darwin’s work was first made public in 1859, it shocked Britain’s religious establishment. And while today it is accepted by virtually all scientists, evolutionary theory still is rejected by many Americans, often because it conflicts with their religious beliefs about divine creation.

While not an official holiday, Darwin Day has been adopted by scientific and humanist groups to promote everything from scientific literacy to secularism. This year, dozens of events have been planned worldwide, many of them anchored by scientific talks or symposiums.

To mark the occasion, here are six facts about the public’s views on evolution, as well as other aspects of the debate in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Yeah, don't take responsibility for you error, just blame buda!

In my language, we say, Olorun Tobi which directly translates God is Big, but it means "God is Great".

We overarched one big greater God over all our other gods so they became ungods leaving One Everlasting Almighty God above all.

Anyway,everything about the big book have been summarized to just only two laws.
Love God and love your neighbour.

So, its not about the bulkiness of the book

Ok. It's just that I think the people who wrote it would be way too smart to wrap only "Love God and love your neighbour" in so much paper, and ink, but I'm new to this. Forgive me.

Proverbs 5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Pitfalls of Immorality
5 My son, be attentive to my wisdom [godly wisdom learned by costly experience],
Incline your ear to my understanding;
2
That you may exercise discrimination and discretion (good judgment),
And your lips may reserve knowledge and answer wisely [to temptation].
3
For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey [like a honeycomb]
And her speech is smoother than oil;
4
But in the end she is bitter like [the extract of] wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5
Her feet go down to death;
Her steps take hold of Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
6
So that she does not think [seriously] about the path of life;
Her ways are aimless and unstable; you cannot know where her path leads.

7
Now then, my sons, listen to me
And do not depart from (forget) the words of my mouth.
8
Let your way [in life] be far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house [avoid even being near the places of temptation],
9
Or you will give your honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one,
10
And strangers will be filled with your strength
And your hard-earned wealth will go to the house of a foreigner [who does not know God];
11
And you will groan when your life is ending,
When your flesh and your body are consumed;
12
And you say, “How I hated instruction and discipline,
And my heart despised correction and reproof!
13
“I have not listened to the voice of my teachers,
Nor have I inclined my ear to those who instructed me.
14
“I was almost in total ruin
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

15
[a]Drink water from your own [b]cistern [of a pure marriage relationship]
And fresh running water from your own well.
16
Should your [c]springs (children) be dispersed,
As streams of water in the streets?
17
[Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone,
And not the children of strangers with you.
18
Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity],
And rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19
Let her be as a loving hind and graceful doe,
Let her breasts refresh and satisfy you at all times;
Always be [d]exhilarated and delight in her love.
20
Why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an immoral woman
And embrace the bosom of an outsider (pagan)?
21
For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the Lord,
And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings].
22
The iniquities done by a wicked man will trap him,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin.
23
He will die for lack of instruction (discipline),
And in the greatness of his foolishness he will go astray and be lost.

PastorAIO:
Frankly, I just suddenly became aware of the phrase and thought it was quite curious. And so I thought I’d put it to Nairalanders to see what people thought. Personally the Jury is still out for me as to what it implies.

Well tell us what the jury thought. Let's work with that.

PastorAIO:
As for the matter of Theosis, this is a subject that I think is at the heart of religion and the full realization of Human potential. I do believe that we are potentially divine and we all have to awaken the divinity within us.

[url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosis_%28Eastern_Christian_theology%29?wprov=sfla1]Theosis[/url], or deification, is a transformative process whose aim is likeness to or union with God, as taught by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches. As a process of transformation, theosis is brought about by the effects of catharsis (purification of mind and body) and theoria ('illumination' with the 'vision' of God). According to Eastern Christian teaching, theosis is very much the purpose of human life. It is considered achievable only through a synergy (or cooperation) between human activity and God's uncreated energies (or operations).

Educate us please! In which way do you think the matter of Theosis is at the heart of religion and the full realization of Human potential?

Permit me to mention this here of pitch. It's not for you PastorAIO but considering your grace its befittingly here. I got this new demon, her name is impatience.

Hi buda, the first atheist to spot me here, but has yet refused to let go of her atheistic faith, please can you help me with the translation for God is the greatest in your native tongue?

p.s. I hope I got it right with the her part, for I'd always thought I was conversing with a male, but certain recent discoveries had led me to think the otherwise. If so I hope I've not used the wrong gender in references to you in the past, because of my such previous thoughts. So please confirm to me if i'm correct or not, as mine is not hidden to you. thanks

God is the greatest in Yoruba is "Olorun lo tobi julo", but as in English, it implies a greatness that is greater than that of all other great gods, and I see an error in that thought!

Many have tried way before you to determine the gender of buda, jesus, but are yet to succeed, and you strut around with your bits on display does not mean buda has to copy you too. Perhaps we should run a sweepstake on it, winner takes all?

God did not create mosquitoes, human beings did! You throw your dirty on the street and build a house for it, then it inseminates your blood so it can procreate. Basically, it has sex with you and has your babies in the gutter!

Mosquito are a reminder that we should clean our environment. They are there to show us the errors of our ways. That is why they sing annoyingly in your ear and keep you awake at night and eat you and make you sick and die. Mosquito is the wages of the sin of ignorance.

When you make a statement which argues that socialism normalises envy, without offering further qualification or context, that amounts to clowning around to me. But in order to not to lower the tempo of this discussion needlessly, I would withdraw that remark and also tender an apology.

When you offer a quote from a centre-right PM in Denmark to invalidate my point about having "strong socialist systems", are you just trying to be as opaque as possible? I am asking because what I wrote is nothing short of a view that is commonly held by most political observers - regardless of where they stand on the political divide.

A lot of people ignorantly mention most of the countries you stated to support socialism. They are capitalist economies. Here is a quote from the prime minister of Denmark.

The Nordic model refers to the economic and social policies common to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Sweden). This includes a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of the workforce unionized while being based on the economic foundations of free market capitalism. The Nordic model began to earn attention after World War II.

If the above were introduced in America would you not call it "full blown socialism" and communist, even?

Proverbs 4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
A Father’s Instruction
4 Hear, O children, the instruction of a father,
And pay attention [and be willing to learn] so that you may gain understanding and intelligent discernment.
2
For I give you good doctrine;
Do not [a]turn away from my instruction.
3
When I was a son with my father (David),
Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother (Bathsheba),
4
He taught me and said to me,
“Let your heart hold fast my words;
Keep my commandments and live.
5
“Get [skillful and godly] wisdom! Acquire understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
6
“Do not [b]turn away from her (Wisdom) and she will guard and protect you;
Love her, and she will watch over you.
7
“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]!
And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].
8
“Prize wisdom [and exalt her], and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.
9
“She will place on your head a garland of grace;
She will present you with a crown of beauty and glory.”

10
Hear, my son, and accept my sayings,
And the years of your life will be many.
11
I have instructed you in the way of [skillful and godly] wisdom;
I have led you in upright paths.
12
When you walk, your steps will not be impeded [for your path will be clear and open];
And when you run, you will not stumble.
13
Take hold of instruction; [actively seek it, grip it firmly and] do not let go.
Guard her, for she is your life.
14
Do not enter the path of the wicked,
And do not go the way of evil men.
15
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
Turn away from it and pass on.
16
For the wicked cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And they are deprived of sleep unless they make someone stumble and fall.
17
For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
18
But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.
19
The way of the wicked is like [deep] darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.

20
My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn;
Open your ears to my sayings.
21
Do not let them escape from your sight;
Keep them in the center of your heart.
22
For they are life to those who find them,
And healing and health to all their flesh.
23
Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
24
Put away from you a deceitful (lying, misleading) mouth,
And put devious lips far from you.
25
Let your eyes look directly ahead [toward the path of moral courage]
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you [toward the path of integrity].
26
Consider well and watch carefully the path of your feet,
And all your ways will be steadfast and sure.
27
Do not turn away to the right nor to the left [where evil may lurk];
Turn your foot from [the path of] evil.

Even though queen Elizabeth is a public figure, she lives a very private life. What baffles most people about her is that she seldom speaks about herself and never grant interviews to the media. This is the reason why so little is known about her.

With over 66 years on the throne, she has become the longest reigning British monarch. Behind the stern poker face you always see screen, there are a whole lot of amazing facts you don’t know about her.

16 Amazing Facts About Queen Elizabeth

#8. She Is Rich But Not The Richest Person In The UK

Without an iota of doubt, Queen Elizabeth is very rich. But she is not among the richest people in the UK.

She gets money from taxpayers and the royal family real estate holdings. Her net worth is £340 million.

However, she has not been listed on the SUNDAY Times’ list of 300 wealthiest Brits for the past 2 years.

#9. She Pays Her Taxes Every Year

Ordinarily, queen Elizabeth II isn’t required to pay tax. But she has been paying tax voluntarily since 1993.

Isn’t she a great leader? How many leaders around the world do this?

Socialism is a political and economic (capital, ego, money, dollars) theory of social organization which advocates that the means (money, power, us) of production, distribution, and exchange (money, capital, ego, naira, dollar) should be owned or regulated by the community (we, us, ourselves) as a whole (all of us) because we are the best stewards of what's ours.

Lol. The state compels people to work for the good of the state in the hope that what ever comes out of it will be distributed equally. They are given things like health care, welfare etc. The system soon crashes as people lose incentive to innovate and work and there is no such thing as free stuff.

When I said "... I don't know...," I meant that you left me speechless.

I know I left you speechless. I got jigi yesterday and its just power!

A state that compels people to work for the good of the state in the hope that what ever comes out of it will be distributed equally is a Slave State. And the people in it are called Slavians, because they practice slavery. No state, in a socialist society, compels anybody in that society to work for the good of the state!

Socialism is a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole because we are they best stewards of what's ours.

The community owns the means of production but the leaders are in charge and oversee the means of production. These leaders/politicians are in charge of distributing wealth/generated capital.

Then it can not be socialism. In socialism, the community that owns the means of production are in charge and oversee it themselves.

Do not sleep on your watch please!

Martinez39:
They live the high life because they have exploited the absolute power socialism gave them as overseers of the means of production. They may spend all they want and leave little or nothing for the people. Imagine if equally distributing wealth will leave everyone with #10, won't you think that these politicians will be tempted to hoard some so as to have enough because ten naira is too small? So even if their intentions are good, they would be tempted to abuse their position and it might spiral down into a money laundering dictatorship.

In the society described above the community that owns the means of production (if they do own it), is not in charge and does not oversee the means of production! Socialism does not delegate its communal responsibility, everyone plays their part. A society where the above is done is not a socialist society.
