So a reasonable person . One needs to analyse your post for a better clearance so as to not swallow ignorance.

You, unfortunately, do not quite qualify.

Ranchhoddas:
Lol.

I had to Google that word to be sure I was not the one mixing things up.
You don't know the meaning of that word. In fact, I am not sure you opened a page of that book.

Just running your mouth all over the place.

As he usually does, lolx2

LoJ:
What is there to read, which I have not yet/or wrongly read. Tell Me.

The title of the book!

The fact the author himself said don't bother reading it if you don't want to!

Calling for references without even knowing what you need references for!

LoJ:
Back to the topic, when you present a book about the hidden years of Jesus, everybody takes it immediately for a historical account. It would have been simpler and easier in response to Vaxx to indicate that this account is not historical but mere legend and as such does not require evidence. Instead of talking about progression and regression which is mostly used by spiritual sophists.

Who presented a book about the "hidden years of Jesus"?

Those who wish to progress should learn to read accurately!

Ranchhoddas:
The book does not claim to be "factual" and these concerns are addressed in the introduction.
Even with the references given (Mainly Rosicrucian, archives) the author still tells the reader to disregard the information therein if he/she is dissatisfied with what is found in the book.
What else do you want?

Do you imagine that someone would author a book on the mystical life of Jesus without expecting to be questioned of the source of his information?

I am very grateful to you for saving me the hassle of further responding to their nonsense.

Vaxx I can perfectly understand. Lately, if I post that the sun is in the sky, he would argue it's under the sea, but you LoJ!? I don't know you for making spurious claims so you surprise me!

Bolowolowo:
Those are people who are proud of their heritage and will not succumb to Western slavery. If an African leader had done this, a war would break loose. Africans will continue to worship their Christ as they wallow in poverty.

How sad.

Besides, they wouldn't be the first as every translation promotes the ideology of the translator as a study of the KJV shows. Even Paul put his own spin on Christ.

LoJ:
I believe you are not answering the question of vaxx.

Do you want people to stop believing one book kthe Bible) in order to start believing another one (this one)? Or to stop believing their pastors dogmatic' view in order to follow this other equally unfounded view? How is that progress?

Vaxx's question is one he can answer himself if he wants to. He should mind not to be under any obligation on my part.

And I have not asked anyone to believe anything, be it the Bible or a pastor. If you've ever read a single word I've written, you'd know I never have. 'Belief' is not a thing I hold in high esteem so I'd hardly be peddling it to others.

As to progress, that's up to the individual, surely. Progress for ganders may be regression for gooses.

vaxx:
Thanks for recommending this book for us.

But how are you so sure this book is not full of baloney?

Can you check the index and the bibliography of this book? What about the credentials of the historian?

I think it will be worth downloading when all this evidence are provided. So as to not download a worthless book.

No wonder you need a pastor! Why don't you just let me read it for you and tell you. Smh

To those who in orthodox sincerity will reject much that is presented in this book, I can say only: “Hold fast to that which is good!” If your faith, your knowledge, and your conviction in regard to Christian matters serves you well, and there is no inner urge to look beyond the veil, then do not do so. Permit nothing to weaken or lessen your adoration and worship of him who is your Savior and your Lord.

The Mystical Life Of Jesus
By Harvey Spencer Lewis

Harvey Spencer Lewis F.R.C., S:::I:::I::, 33° 66° 95°, PhD, a noted Rosicrucian author, occultist, and mystic, was the founder in the USA and the first Imperator of the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, from 1915 until 1939.

This fascinating, non-sectarian treatment of the unknown life of Jesus is based on records preserved in the archives of ancient monasteries of the Essenes and the Rosicrucian Order.

It is a full account of the birth, youth, early manhood, and later periods of Jesus' life, containing the story of his activities in the times not mentioned in the Gospel accounts. The facts relating to the immaculate conception, the birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension will astound and inspire you. The book contains many mystical symbols, fully explained, original photographs, and an unusual portrait of Jesus.

Compare today with when fuel price was N85, Dollar was N180 and food prices were more friendly. Then judge for yourself which is "good days".

Compare today when crude oil is $80 (and sub 45 for many years) with days it was $150. Then judge for yourself which is "good days".

Arch1:
Any one who still wants Gej should have his/her head checked. Gej has been the president of Nigeria for the past six years yet:

unemployment
insecurity
corruption
various union strike
ethno-religious division
infrastructural decadence
keeps thriving; our foreign policy is appaling; national intergrity- under threat; Security- nothing to write home about. Boko haram now controls more than 10 local govt out of the 774 local govts in Nigeria.

Not forgetting the 19 unemployed nigerian youths that died in the sham immigration recrutiment disaster

A reminder of whom Atiku is a continuation of!

Why We Cannot Take Action Against Ganduje Yet - APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress has said it cannot take any action on a video of Governor Umar Ganduje in circulation which appeared to show him taking bribes from contractors, because the matter had been taken to court.

The party said Mr Ganduje had sued Daily Nigerian, the platform responsible for the two clips of the scandalous footage released between Sunday and Monday.

"The matter is in court, the governor has taken the medium to court," party spokesperson, Lanre Issa-Onilu, told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Monday afternoon. "We cannot comment on a matter that is already before a law court."

Mr Issa-Onilu's comments come a day after Daily Nigerian released the initial video to the Nigerian public on Sunday hours after a second batch was released.

The first video seemed to show the governor receiving up to $230,000 from Kano State public works contractors for the construction and allocation of stalls in a new market.

The governor has denied the allegations contained in the video, first saying it was 'cloned' and later threatening a lawsuit against the publisher of Daily Nigerian.

Calls have mounted for Mr Ganduje, 68, to step, but he appears defiant so far. Critics argue that the governor has, at best, violated money laundering laws by handling at least $230,000 (over N82 million) in cash.

Both the police and the anti-graft EFCC separately told PREMIUM TIMES on Monday they could not immediately commence investigation into the videos.

The Kano State House of Assembly had earlier on Monday raised a seven-man committee to probe the video, Daily Nigerian reported

ithink7:
Oga a governor cannot commit crime in broad day light and still be claiming immunity.

You, your entire family and the BMC must be the mumu.

You are the mumu. And a simple read of the Nigerian Constitution will demumuise you.

Yusman316:
And there lies the problem of an average Nigerian, (ignorance). They see a thread online and they just have to comment on the issue. Even without proper or full information. Obanikoro was taken to court over the same issue a long time ago, and agreed to pay back what he took after a settlement agreement was reached with the court. He is still paying back his share

That's why intelligent people like you exist to tell them. Please never tire.

Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria covers his immunity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this constitution but subject to subsection (2) of this section-

No civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office;

A person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and

No process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued; Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of this period of office.

The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party.

This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy Governor; and the reference in this section to “period of office” is a reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office.

From the language constitution, there is a clear reference to “period of office” as well as the President, Vice-President, Governor and deputy Governor (elected officials, if I may add) are immune from prosecution. It is absolute and covers all criminal and civil claims during tenure in office.

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has appointed the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as Director – General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council.

The National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, made the announcement through his Twitter handle on Tuesday.

Saraki Appointed DG Of Atiku Presidential Campaign Council

if u cannot forgive and hv to leave, you are not permitted to Remarry except st the death of the other spouse

So, we married at 20. He cheated before my 21st birthday and actually ran off with the other person. Hope you don't mind if I sleep with someone too just so I can have kids. I am 35 now and he's never returned.

Matthew 19:4-9

Seems you can divorce if one party commits "sexual immorality" , and knowing human beings , "partner looked at another" would do.

Liked, shared and thank you.

thelastPope:
Buhari did nothing in 20 months apart from harras journalists like Dele Giwa and critics like Tai Solarin. Buhari was petroleum minister under OBJ's military rule and presided over major theft in our petroleum industry. He still cannot account for about 5 years of PTF chairmanship with over 200 billion naira squandered! Except you want to count soldiers flogging people on the streets like we are in the barracks as an achievement.

Fake news like the above. Those alive in those days know how bad Nigeria was under Shagari and how different it became under Head of State Buhari.

Decree No.4, 1984 was an archaic attempt to curb fake news, albeit the use of a nuclear bomb to kill a suspect ant.

With the explosion of fake news today however, and the unfortunatecy of its virility and propensity to be believed, I wonder if there should not be some draconian law against anyone who believes fake news instead. It might make people check what they claim, at least.

mikovo2002:
A bad man need change himself. Ask Gmb if he had change?

Yes he has. He now allows himself to be challenged in court.


Section. 3. (i) Any Person who alleges that his rights have been, are being or are likely to be contravened by any of the provision of this Executive Order may apply to a competent Court in his jurisdiction for redress.


Meanwhile, I'm after the text of Decree No. 2 State Security (Detention of Persons) of 1984. If anyone comes across it, please.

GOD never says marry more than one wife! Infact he warned against it

Where? When?

solite3:
you should know about something before taking a position.

if you don't believe the bible or the existence of God your contribution is irrelevant.
if you know nothing about biology, would it be wise to make uninformed points?

"Knowing about something" does not mean "believing in something". People believe all sorts of stupid things just because they actually know nothing.

All the same, the majority of people opposing you on this thread are believers like you, but unlike you, they don't seem incapable of challenging their beliefs. That's how people learn dude, challenging what they cooked up and believe in their heads. Only the wilfully ignorant refuse to abandon their beliefs when opposed by factual evidence.

As to the relevancy of my contribution. Who jumped up and made you god!?

Yari abi wetin be the name of that their governor and Oshiomole don finish APC in Zamfara.
Later, if PDP wins presidential election he will decamp.

Decamp? I will personally chop off his priq!

Or maybe you are just giving them 2-0 advantage seeing as they so crap anyway? Now that would be confidence. But incompetence if you lose by 2, my bubu.

Me, I don't trust these my people. They are already shouting "Athiefu! Athiefu!" so they can enter and steal, so stop messing about and wipe their nose in it, please!

This stupid nonsense will allow those pdp people to gloat! Bubu, how can they mess up like this

I am in pain!

LordReed:
Yes, I must rethink my approach, engaging in this manner is suboptimal, I see it now.

I remind myself that it is written that their Lord Jesus Christ looked down at them while nailed to a cross and cried, "Father, Forgive them, for they haven't got a clue".

They didn't have a clue then, and they still don't now so deserve even much more pity, considering they think they know. They are poor and would most likely remain poor until they open their own eyes and look.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, has no governorship candidate in Zamfara state ahead of the 2019 general elections. The party premised its position on the failure of the party to beat the deadline for party primaries stipulated by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan stated this yesterday while addressing newsman at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

The publicity scribe said: “Our position has not changed. Since Zamfara state APC did not meet the October 7 deadline, then it means that they have no candidate for 2019 general elections.

“You remembered after our national convention, we alerted the nation that the closing date for primary and congresses was October 7th and since that day, the Zamfara state chapter of the APC has not held a singular congress to elect candidate into various position that will be contested in 2019 general elections.

“We warned INEC because we are aware of underarm measures and moves by the leadership of the APC who summoned the INEC chairman and the governor of Zamfara state to a meeting.

“We raised the alarm because we are democratic party, and we have respect for the 1999 constitution as amended. And all the the electoral law guiding our elections.

“As such, we warned INEC not to allow itself to be subdued by the APC. For once they must not allow any form of collusion with the APC.

APC has no governorship candidate in Zamfara – PDP

Also mess up in Rivers State!

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State yesterday told the party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole that the state would not like the declaration of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Zamfara for the State. The party members stated this at the National Secretariat where they had protested in support of Senator Magnus Abe governorship candidature.

According to them, if something was not done fast about the Rivers State APC, it would face the same pronouncement INEC gave to Zamfara State. INEC on Tuesday wrote to APC, stating that the party would not field candidates in Zamfara State since the party failed to conduct primaries in the state.

Rivers APC to Oshiomhole: We don’t want to be like Zamfara

FFK you and ATIKU will not run to anywhere with our money.

ATIKU is a Big THIEF -- PDP

Don't Trust Atiku. He does not wish Nigeria well --- OBJ
