I'm reading to see how many assume, "associate with me" means "sleep with him" like the headline has programmed you to think.

jflower06:
Soliciting for gay is now a true christian message

Not persecuting your neighbours is a Christian message, especially if you yourself are a convicted felon and a pussy grabber.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7

helinues:
That's too personal

They can be sued for defamation

LGBTQ tone all over the headline

Actually, its "The only English-language socialist daily newspaper in the world, published six days a week". But they've not posted this on their website, yet.

Of Course Donald Trump Didn’t Enjoy Hearing a Truly Christian Message

I told him that I don't deal with land, my business is a grains business.....

This is what showed your character.
Please don't let crooks spoil it for you.

See yourself If preemptive pardons are OK what's to prevent Trump from sending someone to break every bone in Joe Bidens body then issue him a pardon?
A knife cuts both ways.

Dump shouldn't bother sending someone and should just send himself.

It would be a test of his presidential immunity and Scotus.

Imagine if they could just say "let there be uninterrupted electricity", and there was uninterrupted electricity, the wonders we might do.

I guess we need to be productive to create uninterrupted electricity in the first place, but one day go be the day.

learn to read and digest information

You are too hotheaded and you react before you think and I don't think I want to marry you anymore.

Imagine I kidnap someone and need the family to pay me 170m before I release the kidnapped. So, I contact you, my old ungreedy trustworthy customer that I've done business with in the past to receive the money on my behalf.

Do you get the picture?

You called off the wedding rites?

I guess you hadn't invested so much in your relationship then, or are taking advantage of the disunity in the family. Because if I were the woman you were intending to marry, I'd call off the wedding due to what I'd perceive as your lack of respect for me.

But I'm certain I'm not taking your culture into consideration and I'm missing out a lot not being in your shoes.

So people, good advice only please. And make sure its much better than mine.

An engineer does not accept anything at face value in life , you always leave room for doubt at the back of your mind.

You definitely are not an engineer, because you always place the maga perspective undoubtedly in front of your mind.

basilico:
President Trump has all the right to go after Joe Biden. JB didn't pardon himself.

He didn't have to pardon himself, because whatever he did was done in his presidential capacity, which the supreme court has ruled has immunity.

Damn! I knew this would come handy.

Gandollar:
Wow! I love your dad already. Can I meet him?

I doubt you can since he's dead and we don't plan to dig him up.

We promised to test life after death though, and have agreed on a few places to meet each year if its possible. One is Janta-Jamodo junction in the Orolu Kingdom on 27 December, if you can make it. An alternative is our favorite Watkins Books on 19-21 Cecil Court, London WC2N 4EZ, first Monday in May.

Just tell him buda sent you, if I'm not there myself that is. It would be great to have an independent third party's view on the issue.

You can only truly understand the Bible if you have faith to believe what you comprehend.

James will respond to the above with "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?"

GreatAchiever1:
The human heart (including the mind) has been completely depraved since the fall.

You read that in a book that was written by humans, and I am informing you that what you call a fall was Eve freeing the stupid ignorant enslaved Adam from slavery. I am delighted however that you do not believe me, because if you believe me, you have not used your own heart and soul and mind and being to seek the truth for yourself.

I hope you would wonder how humans that it is written were created in God's image to rule and multiply and subdue the entire earth and eat every seed bearing fruit, fell to the point that they should not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and work naked in a tiny garden.

If I want to create ignorant almanjeris, I will make them believe they will die if they nourish themselves with knowledge. That way, I wouldn't even need to police them not eating knowledge because they will police themselves and be ignorant and more easily controlled by me who will then send my own children to Oxford and Cambridge and Harvard and Yale to gouge on fruits of knowledge and return to rule over you.

Note below what is written kills in the Bible. It is not knowledge. Then go check the life expectancy in Nigeria and compare it to that of non-god believing Japan.

GreatAchiever1:
Ha! It’s funny that you think some Christians are not well-read simply because they believe in the Bible as the authoritative word of God.

Stop making crap up about me please. I have Christians in my very own family who are so well read to PhD level and are pastors, so it would be very stupid of me to believe Christians don't read when I know otherwise.

GreatAchiever1:
Salvation means understanding that we are inherently sinful creatures.

Talk about yourself please. Some are not inherently sinful creatures, so do not need to wallow in stupid self pity.

GreatAchiever1:
To believe in Christ and the entire bible is not ignorant blind faith.

For me, it is very ignorant to believe anything without bothering to check if what you believe is true or not. And having lived amongst the British who brought you the Bible and don't believe it anymore, it is my opinion that those who do believe without seeking understanding are ignorant.

Better is to understand the Bible and God and Jesus, for only then will you be able to do greater things than have been done.

Merry100:
Brother Bernard, try to use your brain more often. Personal conviction refers to a deeply held belief or opinion that is unique to an individual.

Or a group of people, Sister Bernard.

Merry100:
The Bible is the guide; if Christianity is not practiced in the way it should be, it must be questioned. My belief is in God and His words, not in Nigerian pastors or unnecessary doctrines. Christianity is not practiced only in Nigeria, and it did not start in Nigeria.

Your belief is more like in your understanding of the Bible, and you'd not argue that is 100% correct, I hope.

Those who brought you this Bible have evolved from literally believing it to understanding it, and you will too in due time.

GreatAchiever1:
So what's your point? You clearly believe in Evolution which isn't in the bible......

Evolution is not a thing to believe in or not, as that's like claiming to believe in oxygen or not But you obviously know nothing about evolution and should educate yourself.

GreatAchiever1:
correct me if I'm wrong but you think there are other ways one can attain salvation and connect to God asides from faith in Christ.

Yes! Though I must ask, salvation from what exactly?

Understanding Jesus Christ and the entire Bible is much more beneficial than ignorant blind faith.

As for connecting with God, in as much as I do unto those I see before me God is connecting with me, according to Jesus Christ.



Besides, I don't claim anyone should believe me, but rather believe what the bible says, and if whatever I say correspond with what the Bible teaches. I just don't like when the bible is bring twisted to suite modern ideologies like what the OP's currently doing.

And yes, the smarts and the wise seek the kingdom of God as written in the holy scriptures because there is no other truth asides from the Holy Bible and in it is the word of God.[/quote]

GreatAchiever1:
Since we don't believe in the same truth, there is no need to explain further.

Only the ignorant believe. The smart and the wise seek the Kingdom of the Gods with all their heart and soul and mind and being so they may know and understand and be able to explain further instead of asking others to ignorantly stupidly believe them just like Adam did in Eden and became a naked ignorant slave until sensible Eve freed him.

Merry100:
I am a Christian and hold my own personal convictions.

I am a book reader who has a brain and a mind, and care not for convictions if the book you says supports them don't.

If you respected personal convictions, you might not gave said the following "Most of the aspects of Nigerian marriage culture that are taught and embraced in Churches do not align with Biblical principles", which shows you have no respect for false personal convictions, and which I admire in you.

GreatAchiever1:
Interesting that you added equally in that input. Yes, I agree you can say Male and female are in God's image because of them being humans but equally, nope.

Read the instruction they were given to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth", and please tell me it was not equally given to them.

GreatAchiever1:
Except their eternal values then yes. Now tell me, man created directly from dust to be God's image bearers and then woman made directly from man to be the glory of man, how would you then add equality to it?

Just a simple use of ones human senses shows it is the man that is created from inside the woman, but that aside.

Explain to me why you would accept being created from dust when you can easily choose to believe you are created in God's Image.

Is it that you'd rather be a naked ignorant slave in a tiny garden instead of Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth, or do you just not see the difference?

GreatAchiever1:
How you brought the theory of evolution into God's created order in Genesis clearly proves we are not talking about the same thing.

We are obviously not talking about the same thing since I obviously disagree with you who can't seem to understand that even God evolved from angry brimstone and fire, to gentle meek forgiving Jesus.

It is a very big book, you see. And most don't start at Bereshit and work themselves page by page to "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen"

The false assumption here is that a behaviour is innate, when behaviours are actually things you learn by repeatedly behaving.

If an introvert decides to stop behaving introvertishly, and instead learns and starts practicing the behaviours of an extrovert, that person will stop being an introvert and become extrovertish.

As for how long, that depends on the individual and how much work you put in to changing your behaviour. And for conflict, a wise person would know when it pays to be an introvert or an extrovert, and will see them more as tools or weapons in their armour to be used when circumstances require.

Softmirror:
Of course I do. It's also a lie that foreigners are totally exempted from the NHS. There are certain eligibility that qualifies foreigners.

So?! Mumu

The eligibility is, we will not leave foreigners dying in an emergency!

The person being talked about here was not an emergency case, and unless she was a citizen, would have been charged for a bed in a hospital and any care she received.

NHS wouldn't even ask you for your migration status before caring for you, but they will once your data enters the system and shows you are not eligible for free health care.

Softmirror you do not understand what you read.

He's too dense to understand the obvious. The liar was told multiple times its illegal to buy organs in the UK. Then he proceeds to make up new lies when cornered.

He's so dense that he can't see he is the mumu here.

Listen to him claim he knows a fact that is not true.

Softmirror:
Mumu. Does that change the fact that you can get it for free? You only stated that there might be challenges. And of course it's a lie. This I know for a fact.

Foreigners don't get anything free on the UK National Health Service!
