Haba. Republicans and Democrats have bad sides but the Democrats are far worse and more wicked. I can't put in the right perspective. If you can read the list(which I gave you) of persecutions by democrats and liberals on republican officials and their shameless, cruel and wicked scheme against Brett Kavanaugh then I am disappointed. I am surprised that you have fallen for the fake news propaganda that always fit the democratic and liberal narrative, Chai!. I repeat, the republicans and democrat are not equally or almost bad, the democrats are way way way worse and devilish. They are wickedly greedy and lustful for power no matter who is at the receiving end. SMH.

Is it vaxx, now, who is a "pussy"

I didnt even go beyond.
Just read his comment, and thought to myself,
if this guy is familiar with Mamalawo's work on Orunmila, he wouldnt be saying that Orunmila isnt a philosopher

Martinez19:
I should be the one reporting you but I am being lenient. Due to the left's hatred for Trump and their fake news propaganda, they always try to paint Trump in a bad light or discredit him. Didn't Obama say prior to Trump's inauguration that he SEES NO WAY the economy would be fixed under Trump? Didn't he? The idea that it's Obama's seed that is germinating is a leftist narrative. The leftist narrative has two goals towards Trump : 1) paint Trump in a bad light and 2) discredit Trump. Even the ObamaCare was a failure.

Didn't the left say that the economy will crash under Trump? Didn't the left say that Trump won't be able to handle the nuclear button and would start a nuclear war with North Korea? Didn't they try to paint Trump as a crazy lunatic not fit for office? Didn't you see their disgraceful circus with Kavanaugh just because he was nominated by The Donald ? Come on budaatum, I expected more from you. Didn't you see the way Trump's disapproval of the open border policy and illegal immigration was twisted to make it look like it hated non-Americans? Haba!

MuttleyLaff:
I can bet my bottom dollar you're arent familiar with Professor Sophie 'Bosede Oluwole also known as Mamalawo
I also doubt you're conversant with her works
or have read any of her books, especially the one titled "Socrates and Ọ̀rúnmìlà: Two Patron Saint of Classical Philosophy"

That is not the goal initially. The Bible expressed itself already. ( love your neighbour as yourself) i think this verse interprets itself without any form of ambiguity. Subjectivity is just simply based on human desire in this category and not the scope. I will agree that many bible apologetic have a penchant for isigesis (reading into the text) as opposed to proper exegesis (a critical explanation or interpretation of a text.

vaxx:
Once the goal of defending a particular theological position replaces that goal of objectivity, biblical interpretation becomes a matter of pitting my theological prejudice against yours and it is done to favour desire and not the scope ( this is definitely subjective ). So i belief it is this approach that is causing the biggest challengies in church today.

This is why some people called the entire theology diciplne pseudoscience just like like how social science is consider soft science because of this subjective nature.

Martinez19:
You didn't counter anything. Since Trump came in, unemployment has been at an all time low. I know you will try to credit this to Obama as a lot of deluded democrats dishonestly like to do but mind you that even Obama said that with Trump, he sees no way the economy is going to be fixed under Trump.

vaxx:
I have explain it in details. And when I say they do not always arrive at the same conclusion. It simply means there are diffrence perspective from personal interpretation or independent body.


Catholic understanding of bible is different from Anglican. .

vaxx:
This two things are objective method and that is the scientific study of the gospel. (Some say pseudoscience anyway)because they do not always arrive at the same conclusion.


Therefore exegesis is basically the same method but may arrive at different interpretation.

vaxx:
Based on my own findings , the exegesis are based on two things and that is all what interpretation of Scripture depends: which is the process of discovering what is needed to learn, and the process of presenting what have been learned.

budaatum, I tender my apology in the hope that it will be accepted... , I am sorry ......

If corruption they put food for my table I go vote corruption

The worst that happens is Buhari retires from office but keeps political power, brings a young dynamic guy to replace himself and uses his power to make him win elections.

budaatum:
Why Buhari Must Have A Second Term

Some of us think things happen randomly. Come over to the Regs section and you'd soon read 'so, did humans become by chance?'

Integrity, is one question people cast about when accessing Buhari. I read a lot about his so called corruption. Yet, I say, Buhari is the president or head of state of Nigeria, bar Murtala perhaps, with the most integrity that Nigeria has had in my lifetime! For comparison, Shagari was ineptitude that became a free for all, GEJ was, "na we de dere and na we go de dere forever so make we chop", and Abacha was, "I'm gonna live forever so let me take as much of it as possible and make it mine". Sai bubu is, "come on guys, stop this stealing". As a message, it is mighty enough for me, considering, so Sai my bubu second term, indeed!

Some of you actually believe it is God that freed the Israelites from captivity and struck down Abacha, yet you cannot fathom that God could possibly have chosen a Buhari to rule over you because he is most merciful and wise. Buhari has been around a long while so he knows the forces that stop Nigeria developing and the magnitude of the job to wrestle it out of their hands. To imagine freeing Nigeria from its Egyptian Captivity would take one single term is stupid and ignorant and shut up even, for you know absolutely nothing of that which you speak of, forgive my outburst. Ten plagues it took for the Israelites to be released from their's and you expect no pain for Nigerians emancipation?! In Yoruba we'd say, you think its oju la san; not many argue that Buhari is facing powers and principalities.

Buhari has shown how resolute he is. Little to say, not swayed by sentiment, and thoughtful before acting because he knows he can put his foot in mouth, yet, the likes who's enemies, opposed to his actions, cower fearfully at his feet. Okay, so no one is particularly fearful of Buhari, but you can't say that those who ought to be aren't threading much more carefully than they would have done! Just look at that Jagbajantist Jaguda. Would his swagger not be more if Buhari were not President? I think his swagger would be a hundred fold more and that of many like him in thousands too, so sai my bubu Buhari for me not having to continously moan about Jagaban's robbery in my face all the time. The eighties Buhari would have thrown his ass in jail for two hundred years, but I'm glad he has transformed more into a President, as opposed to a dictator, which is more his bent.

People used to say, "whether na my money or somebody else's money, God don't make me lack either". That is like saying "God, bless this thief I am about to steal"! The fact is, if you have less money power under Buhari than under GEJ, you probably hate Buhari, but as my bubu once said, you are a lazy Nigerian and should starve if you are waiting for manna from heaven! The pharaohic looting of Nigeria's wealth under GEJ is just not compatible with Nigeria's progress.

Buhari goes before that Pharaoh that stops Nigerians developing, and lacking the arrogance to assume "I, Buhari can do it alone", beside him stands Osinbajo, the wisest, most capable, most integrous (is that a word even?) Vice President Nigeria has ever had, like an Aaron besides Moses stands he beside my bubu, and you are not saying "Sai Bubu Almighty", even, oh ye of dim wit who see no further than the nose. Or will it not be that sai bubu's second term, him frail and ill, the young and energetic and full of Spirit Osinbajo would rule Nigeria like an Anointed, and doing so well as VP and for a first term, and for a second term as President Osinbajo trampling on enemies of Nigeria who will all fall by 2031!

The non-lazy Nigerians, those who want progress for our most illustrious nation, if not exactly this very day, but the not too distant future, realise that it's not only Buhari who will carry cross for Nigeria, but everyone of us. And the very beginning of the unfolding of that is, Sai my bubu, the cattle herder from Daura!

O, isn't he all so Abrahamic, my bubu!

Exegesis focus is to arrive at objectivity and any form of personal interpretation is highly discarded.

kennygee:
This doesn't sound like it's true.

KanwuliaMama:
Atiku always makes SOUND SENSE!
You will never find him associated with violence or agberoism!

OneJ:
Jesus himself approved divorce & the scriptures endorsed remarriage when your former spouse is alive.
"If the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman IS NOT BOUND IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES..." 1 Cor 7:15.
Do U grasp what Paul said? If your spouse decides to quit your marriage (in spite of your sincere efforts to make your Union succeed),let her go. "Can two walk together except they agree? " Amos 3:3. Paul said " You are NOT BOUND IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES" to your run away spouse who elopes with some one else.. U are free to remarry. Go obtain a legal divorce & set yourself free.

U are actually the one who modify the holy scriptures to mislead others.

You budaatum is attributing the biblical Jesus to Socrates and Plato . I am assuming you are joking. It is like me saying ORUNMILA had so many deep insight explanation to most of the issues related to life and hence a philosopher. I actually don't think he will qualifiy unless I am being biased.( though he is consider a sage but will not be taking as a philosopher today )

Akdegreat:
It's a pity that the true gospel of Christ have been mixed with several falsehoods, one would have a had time discerning truth with an open mind. Worthy of note, too, is the contradictory messages of Paul which cements the whole thing.
It's speaks volumes that Paul wrote majority of the New Testament gospel whereas Jesus, the center of it all, has no account to his credit.

Jesus idea was not unique, many religious leaders of his time across major tribes preaches similar idea. "" live your dammm business and follow me to go do my stuffs""

Jesus was silent on so many things. For example, he says nothing on creations, epistemology nko ? He says he is not here to change the law, so the idea that the people of his time understand God was assumed , even the idea of you can not come to daddy except me the son was not a rigourous logic. It failed flat. Permit me to say. John 3 vs 16 should have been taking from the bible. Whoever wrote it did a bad job and likewise
On meta-ethics, I doubt he says anything.

I believe he exist, the evidence is enough to convince me but there is no evidence that he was familiar with the rich body of work from earlier Greek philosophers (the famous three - Socrates, Plato and Aristotle - all lived way before Jesus)..who will have change his method or views of thinking.


Well, the bible depict him as a learned figure.

Akdegreat:
I agree with you here. I see Jesus as a freethinker! I likened him to Fela Kuti of our time in my last thread. He was vocal against oppressive authorities.

Cyriloha:
Guy after divorce instead make you fk for baba God head for nothing de annoy him any how for nothing I think is better you marry and have your Holy sez in peace simple

HappyPagan:
I agree he wasn't. He was a remarkably smart motherfucker - weirdly, I think I appreciate his messages more as an atheist, than when I was Christian.

His parables can be quite profound if given deep thought.


His story is a very powerful one, if stripped of all the divine nonsense attached to it. His aggressors were his 'family', leaders who had abused the power privileged positions grant. He stood for the poor and weak in his society, told them to believe in themselves - taught them to seek God in private, in truth.. To find their own salvation.
