No, not quite as I do tend to check sources and consider probability.

You better pray for the likes of Trump to rule your State. cool
No thank you. If Trump were governor of my state, with the lack of checks to curtail him, I would be eventually begging Aregbe to return! A Trump would be passing anti-muslim laws in a state that's predominantly Muslim populated and everywhere would likely be called Trumpy!

I'd like a more honest and morally upright person than that thank you.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Here's How Much Debt The US Government Added Under President Obama by budaatum: 5:22pm On Sep 16, 2018
Hanji:
Who dem borrow d money from?
As of July 31, 2018, debt held by the public was $15.6 trillion and intragovernmental holdings were $5.7 trillion, for a total or "National Debt" of $21.3 trillion. Debt held by the public was approximately 77% of GDP in 2017, ranked 43rd highest out of 207 countries. The Congressional Budget Office forecast in April 2018 that the ratio will rise to nearly 100% by 2028, perhaps higher if current policies are extended beyond their scheduled expiration date. As of December 2017, $6.3 trillion or approximately 45% of the debt held by the public was owned by foreign investors, the largest being China (about $1.18 trillion) then Japan (about $1.06 trillion).

yes Mary carried Jesus in her womb but she is not the mother of God.

This is the issue on this thread. You are free to leave you know.

If Mary is not the "Mother of God", then Jesus is not God!

johnw47, what purpose does the below writing serve, when written this way:
"When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy"

as opposed to having it written like this other way:
"When the morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy"
Point!

Please show from this thread or any other place,
where I said, anything about the constellation singing and sun & moon shouting, on a first day the earth was formed.


If you cant show where, if you are unable to produce anything,
then please, retract your false accusations
and tender public apologies accordingly

If you had asked, I would have for free, told you that
it was at the end of creation that the singing and shouting together happened
and not the first day nor fourth day you've misundertood the post and Job 38:7 to be saying
You inferred that the "sons of god" meant the stars and the moon, and since the "sons" sang, one would infer the stars and the moon sang!

Need to check that last bold though.

2/ Mary Carried the God-man in her womb does not mean she was the mother of God, 'Mary the mother of God' was not taught in the early church.
3/John 20:27-28 does prove Jesus is God but not that God had a mother.
You must be redefining the word "mother" because if Jesus was in Mary's womb, it does make Jesus the son of Mary who gave birth to him and was his mother.

The question may rest on Christ's divinity, whether he became God on 'conception' in Mary or when he was born, and all the evidence does suggest it was at conception, which certainly makes Mary the mother of God - if Jesus is indeed God. But even if Jesus became God after being born, like a person becomes a doctor or lawyer, the person who gave birth to him is still his mother just as she would be the mother of the lawyer or doctor if that had been the profession of her son.

The only way that Mary would have to not be the mother of God is if her son, Jesus, was not God!

Aaaaahhhhh, I get your point!

Back then, the chopping was reaching the common man because there was no hypocritical "war on corruption". After all, one ogogro man wisely said: "stealing is not corruption".

However, nowadays, the goats eating our yams are not doing so in public o! No more distribution to praise singers, though that doesn't mean they are not stealing, mind you.
It doesn't mean they are not stealing, but they are definitely not stealing as much or with the impunity with which they stole under GEJ if merely for the fact that there isn't so much to steal, but also because Buhari has tighter reigns on the purse.
Christianity Etc › Re: Are Morality And Ethics Holding Back Science? by budaatum: 1:21pm On Sep 16, 2018
sinequanon:
2 x 0 = 1 x 0

Group axiom: Every element of a group has an inverse. Let 0-1 be the multiplicative inverse of 0.

Multiply both sides by 0-1

(2 x 0) x 0-1 = (1 x 0) x 0-1

Use distributive axiom

2 x (0 x 0-1) = 1 x (0 x 0-1)

Use inverse axiom

2 x 1 = 1 x 1

Use identity axiom

2 = 1

but 2 is not 1 by definition

so we have statement A, i.e 2 = 1

and we have NOT statement A i.e 2 not = 1

i.e

NOT (A AND NOT(A))

CONTRADICTION as I said.

To the layman it is presented as "you can't divide by zero".

To the mathematician, it is "the rationals numbers do not form a group under multiplication"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency
See how you, sinequanon sent buda to school. Simple maths that everyone learns in primary school, you present it in such a way that buda went back to school to learn. And your educating of buda is not simply the obvious, but also the implications, philosophically, that 2 x 0 = 1 x 0, despite the wuruwuru in the proof that 2 x 1 = 1 x 1 See Zero to the power of zero.

I think that if you were less "I am so much more knowledgeable than everyone else", and were to stop committing the "vaxx fallacy" that states, "I have come to teach you less knowledgeable people so shut up and learn from me vaxx", you would be of greater benefit here. Because, as you can see, even when you might not quite be aware of it, people learn, regardless.

Guy, wake up!

Under Bubu are they not chopping?
They are not chopping like they used to under GEJ. In GEJ time, I could not get them to come work on my farm because they earned so much more than I could pay doing rankadede to the local politicians. Nowadays, they beg me to give them gari because rankadede doesn't pay anymore and they starve.

OP, you forgot to say that, Buharis govt enter when Crude price which is our main stay drop from USD110/b to as low as USD28/b, equally our healthy foreign reserve drop to USD29bn, now it is USD47bn, also tell the world that we no longer borrow to pay salaries as it was in 2014. Remind your readers also that, all Nigerian territories under Boko haram in 2014, were reclaimed by Buhari since 2015.
People want a dream country, but they dont want to change their ways of doing things. We prefer short cut, than following the normal process. Among Igbos, there are people enjoying this govt. better than the previous one. Stop spreading hatred, spread peace and peace you will enjoy.

Seriously, it's a very compelling book especially from a guy like Woodward who is a very good and respectable journalist and he happens to be a Republican too. Most of the people he spoke with in the WH are on tapes and he's ready to release the tapes. What a dysfunctional W H. Nov 6 on my mind. Maybe, one of the poor rats that supports the racist pig on Nairaland will like to borrow yours. I even tried to buy one and send to Obixcel because I know he couldn't afford to buy one.
Everyone of Trump supporters should read it. They'd at least know what to present to turn me against my Sai Bubu!

Let's not forget that the people Mr Woodward talked to in the WH are on tapes. If I have to choose betweenTrampy and Woodward, will take the words of Woodward over a pathological and sociopathic liar.

This is the sort of thinking that makes me support Sai Bubu. Those who sow not this way should starve, and Buhari sure has significantly reduced how much you destructively gobble up.

How does anything move forward if all you do is eat but contribute nothing to the cooking?

Buda does not think the mind is an organ that physically exists in the body. That's why vaxx's 'abstract' appeals to me.

did you notice where i said this memory can be subconscious or concious? Most of us are concious in dreamland. I am concious most time when dreaming
Oh good. I didn't want to sneak it past you.

So, is the conscious awareness in dreams not a sort of 'perceiving', without seeing with eyes?

what you see when dreaming is not a function of your eyes so it cant be said you can see when your eyes are closed. Rather it is a function of your memory which can be subconsciously or consciously manipulated based on your fears or desires
I am consciously aware in my dreams to the extent to which I observe myself in my dreams. Hence, 'perceive', as in "consciously aware of".

Hmm that sounds awkward. Like I'm asking you to take my word for it. True though.

of course. As i explained before, the fact that chemicals can alter your thoughts shows that the brain is centre to it all. Same way everything you have the capacity to think about is a function of what your brain processes, what you see, what you hear etc. These are the data that makes up your thoughts. Without them what would you think?

Also notice you only think in a language you know. Eg english that is because that is what you hear and your brain stores. Parts of your brain can be cut off and you wont be able to think again. Go read about lobotomy
I am multilingual. I think in two languages. And yes, "everything I have the capacity to think about is a function of what my brain processes, what I see, what I hear etc", including what I reason, and whatever I can make up in my brain".

I'm going to think about this some.
