Beretta03:
Buddha realized that only a man can save himself by gaining enlightenment wisdom and knowledge.

Imagine. He wants me to not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that it is clearly written is "good for gaining wisdom", so that he who has not ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil can enlighten and lead and save me, lol.

How anyone can not see that that is the definition of slavery completely eludes and amuses me at the same time. What saddens me though is how some so love slavery that they'd promote it to others including their very own children.

Just goes to show how easy it is to fool some. I guess, and is a pity.

Dear Survivor2020

I read your story on frontpage and I thought I should share my own little experience, maybe you'll have a change of heart


My elder sister got pregnant in the year 2000, I was only 6 years old then and the last child of my parents. We were 6 children; 4 boys and 2 girls and she was the eldest in the house.

My parents were furious, she was sent out of the house and just like your story, the guy that got her pregnant was also too young to start a family.

That was how my elder sister roamed about till she gave birth under poor conditions to a beautifulbaby girl. She'll hide in the Bush neat our home while we sneak food to her and her child.
I can't forget the day my mom caught her hiding behind the tree near our house and brought them back. We all forgave each other and started life as a family again.

As if that was not enough, my other elder sister got pregnant again when she was about to write her WAEC. Hers was even more embarrassing because almost everyone in my community knew except us in the family. Well, we'd learnt from the first experience, so we let her be. She gave birth to a handsome boy.

Both got married and moved on with their lives.


From 2015 to 2018 I lost 3 siblings. One of my elder brothers and the two sisters.

The girl that my elder sister gave birth to got married last year, and honestly I don't know how my mother would have fared without her. She's the woman of the house , the first daughter and the only daughter and we wey be men of the house respect her. My mom just came back from vacation from her house last week. She's the only one my mom can have a proper girls talk with. Imagine if she'd died in that Bush then...

The boy my other elder sister gave birth to is the most intelligent boy anyone could wish for as a brother. He was born in 2007, but he's grown to be a very wise and hardworking boy. He's not very book smart, but he is very hardworking and responsible and he's the man of the house now.

Whilst me and my other elder brothers go in search of greener pastures, these two wonderful people have held the home front.

The last time I travelled home and my mom and I was having the conversation, she kept thanking God for giving us those two perfect mistakes. And God will continue to bless them.




In conclusion, I'm begging you to go take back your daughter and her child before that guy impregnate her again. At 17, she still has her life before her and can still come good.
Thank you

I feel you posted this here somewhere already but I just had to..

CraigslistAD, Thank you very much for this.

Here's the original thread
https://www.nairaland.com/7345576/hope-decision-not-bad

Dtruthspeaker:
Says the snake who uses the truth to lie.

Like the following obvious truth.

feedthenation:
---The House had passed H.R. 8873, the Presidential Election Reform Act — Reps. Cheney and Lofgren's bill to reform the Electoral Count Act — 229-203---just nine Republicans joined all Democrats to support legislation that would prevent future coups---this indicates just how bad GOPs have become they sold their souls to Trump for '30 pieces of silver'---no moral compass---

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/21/house-election-jan-6-reform/

I was listening to the debates yesterday and all I could hear in opposition was a la basilico.

They passed lots of other acts too.

TAYO124:
God never says humans should not question Him rather He expects your reverence Not playing stupid before Him.
A scripture in Isaiah says “ Come let us reason together “ there is no reasoning without questions asked SIMPLE case closed.
Jesus while praying asked a question “ My God My God why have you forsaken me?
Abraham asked a question “Will the judge of all not do right? and God answered. The issue is the intent with which you question God.
Job himself asked God questions which He responded to? Ask balanced questions without Bias.

#CaseCLOSED!!!

Now, if only people would reason instead of stating their beliefs and expecting to be believed.

Maybe one day. I hope.

Dtruthspeaker:
If I did not like the Truth I would not be here arguing about it, even sometimes participating in none-sense and foolish arguments.

You do not like the Truth, DT. All you speak of is your belief, which is not knowledge not to talk of be true.

IjeBos:
Honestly, there is a point that you have to look inward and ask yourself why you can't recognize a thief. Just google Trump University. At this point why would anyone give Trump the benefit of the doubt?

It is written that, if one's eye is dim one's entire being would be in darkness so one can not see. So how can you expect a person in darkness with dim eyes to recognise anything?

Is it not also written that, out of the abundance of the heart does one speak? Those full of what dump's heart is full of will not only give dump the benefit of the doubt they will also speak and reason like dump.

Everyone please forgive my sin of letting my conversation in other threads stray into this one.

knowingChrist:
Like I said, I can deduce that you're not widely read. Buddha is believed to have achieved nirvana and he said if we become enlightened, we'll achieve nirvana too. Isn't that the same concept that Jesus taught that we'll achieve eternal life and be as the angel of God if we become saved?

Pls kindly read wide with an open mind and a humble heart to learn. Learn to choose your words widely so as not to be controlled by emotions. I pray you find the light but seriously bye forever now

First, I am not going to be humble to you because that means I should sit at your feet like some ignorant slave. Hopefully, that does not mean I get to disrespect you.

Nirvana, for your information, is not some heaven you live in in some imaginary after life, but the peace of mind and existence you experience here on earth precisely because you are enlightened, which can only be attained by eating the fruits of trees of knowledge of good and evil. After all, you would not claim a person who does not eat fruits of knowledge could possibly be enlightened, or would you?.

It's like living in God's tent. Those who do these enlightened things will not be shaken here on earth.

knowingChrist:
With due respect sir, you really need to be saved and I wish you'll let me show you the path of Christ, I do not say this to demean you, I say this with utmost respect and love wishing that you'd accept to let me lead you to the light.

First, your judgement is irrelevant to me. You can not even affect my body so why should I be concerned that you might have any impact on my soul?

Second. You do not want to save me or lead or show me to any light. What you want is to lead me to join you in slavery and darkness in the Garden of Eden, to which I say, no thank you. For such stupidity and ignorance to allow myself to be led into slavery is way beneath my level of intelligence.

You see, you are a descendant of Adam, who was created from mud and enslaved in a Garden to tend it naked and not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for fear that you will surely die. While I am created in God's image to be fruitful and multiply and subdue and dominate the earth and the sea precisely because every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it, which includes the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, has been given unto me for food. So why, pray tell, would I want to abandon the Image of God power invested in me to be fruitful and multiply and subdue and dominate, only to become a naked slave made from mud in some tiny poxy garden and delude myself that I am saved?

It's the difference between you and I you see, or don't as the case actually is. It's like when "The LORD told Moses, “You, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 elders of Israel must come up the mountain and worship me from a distance. Then only Moses will come close to the LORD. The other men must not come close, and the rest of the people must not even come up the mountain.” You would have obeyed Moses and not come close to the Lord because Moses said, "The Lord said". While I would have said to Moses, "Fuk off! Is it not the same Lord that created me too? Did the Lord create you with two heads or something? I'm coming close to the LORD with you, and if the Lord don't like it let the Lord do it's worst!"

No way am I staying at the bottom of the mountain so Moses can lead me wandering for 40 years in some wilderness when I can come close to the Lord and hopefully reduce the wandering to like 4 years or even 4 days if I learn quickly to lead myself.

knowingChrist:
Go study history properly and you see that Buddha was believed to be like Jesus.

With one important difference, I dare add.

Buddha did not come to save you or promise you some imaginary eternal life like many Christians believe Jesus did. He came to teach you to get off your ass and bear your own cross and save yourself as Christ also taught, though that is not what you are taught in Christianity.

How did the square foot magically go from 10,000 sqft to 30,000sq ft?

Ease supply facts and not if or opinion statements.

Same way Adam died when he ate a fruit that was supposed to kill him I guess.

basilico:
Playing smart. Did Trump go through all those boxes when they were being packed.I read that GSA officials loaded up the documents

So, GSA officials took undeclassified documents to dump's house without him first checking whether they were declassified or not?

Those GSA officials must have been hired by Obama then, to stitch dump up, so I guess he has a defence. I just wonder why he hasn't said so yet, and is instead claiming he declassified them in his head.

Is it because he has not yet hired you to be his lawyer, I wonder.

knowingChrist:
Yeah, to you they remained alive but to God they died. You're carnal and God is spiritual so different dimension of vision.

They actually died bc they died in unrighteousnes and this is why Adam wanted to steal eternal and still steals today. I'll rather follow God's definition of death bc what's the reason to be living when a person can't do what's right?

If we were talking 2 + 2, you'd very likely use the same wuruwuru above to claim it's equal to 10, but I assure you that I would not accept that if you were buying something from me worth 10 Naira.

The people you claim died, went on to have children, we read, and they populated the earth. So let me say this:

O Lord God, please. You know I am going to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil if you place me in the Garden of Eden, though be assured that that is after I challenge you for demoting me from God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them to “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground” and “given me every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food" . Still, when I eat and die according to you, please reduce the 800 years I live after that to just another 100 years. Thank you Lord God in advance. And Amen.

I don't want to be too greedy and live as long as Adam and Eve, you see, because that will be a very very long time and I just might get too bored.

You are not following any "God's definition of death". You are not even following the definition of death as written in the Bible. What you are following is the definition of death that someone has told you to believe, and Jesus would very likely say "Woe" to those who gave you that definition, because they are hiding something from you. He would also likely ask why you refuse to become as a child and abandon the childish things you have been taught, because you ought to know that those who refuse to eat the fruits of the trees of knowledge of good and evil will lack knowledge and will die earlier than those who have knowledge.

basilico:
Just asking . Trump tasked Bill Barr to declass documents relating to Spygate and Clinton Email Espionage. What we dont know is whether those documents that he took away were documents that Barr gave him as already declassified.

You are the only one who does not know. Most of us know that when you declassify classified documents, the least you'd do is erase or cross out "CLASSIFIED" and replace it with DECLASSIFIED. In fact, you can very simply just add "DE" in front of the "CLASSIFIED" and say you declassified, though the actual process is more elaborate than all that as I've presented for you to read already.

Now, show us the document and let's check if the "DE" is there please.

Escalating legal troubles could be damaging Donald Trump's prospects with donors. The main super Pac affiliated with the former president, the Make America Great Again, Again! Pac, raised only $40 in August 2022, down from $351,000 in July 2022.

https://on.ft.com/3LFdLAD

---Some MAGAs have wised up---they are not funding Trump's lifestyle anymore---

The eyes of many have finally opened to the dump scam.

All that's left is the 40 who donated a dollar each.

[quote author=saxywale2 post=116894976]After watching the video, I can't help but agree with some people that are calling for the baba to be locked up in a home for mentally unwell people. Hannity was asking for the process in which he de-classified the docs, he kept on talking about how he can wave a magic wand (literally) or just simply de-classify the docs (US gov property by the way) just by thinking about it.

Then went off tangent and started chatting about NARA being leftist, then to talking about whether FBI came searching for Clinton's email at Maralago, and the spying on his campaign. Like what the hell did I just watch.

Trump: There’s a lot of speculation because of the severity of the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago, were they looking for the Hillary Clinton emails…
Hannity: Wait, you’re not saying you had it

knowingChrist:
I believe the person deceived knew she was deceived and the person who acted treacherously defended his actions but it's ok. You can put it to me, but that doesn't make it a sound argument. If Adam was deceived, he would have said so but the dog had plans to steal the eternal life. it's ok if you defend the dog, at least that's what today's Christianity does, and that's what they've fed your mind.

That's the thing, I guess. Despite reading with you very own eyes that they ate the fruit and continued to live, you choose to believe they surely died when they ate the fruit.

Thankfully. Jesus is written to have come to spit on mud and rub it in your eyes, but I guess you have not yet bathed in the Pool of Siloam so that you may see instead of believe.

knowingChrist:
I think what you're asking is not biblical bc you haven't taken time to try to know the truth.

Bible never said anyone caused Adam to fall. Bible says Eve was deceived but you and the church assume that she was deceived by someone else but the bible makes it clear that it was a self deception and the serpent was her mind.

I put it to you that according to the story in the Bible it was Adam who was deceived by being told he would die if he ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Eve on the other hand refused to be deceived and checked for herself only to find she did not die and that the fruit was good for food and for gaining wisdom, which enabled her to free her self and her deceived Adam from naked slavery in the Garden of Eden, from where the story goes on to tell us they went on to populate the earth and died 800 years after eating the fruit they'd been lied to would kill them.

And I call this, the real side of the so called STUPID lecturers we have...

Angered about strike you purposely in barked on, with the mindset you will be paid for doing absolutely nothing

I know your ASUU lecturer did not teach you this nonsenses because many have taught you already in this thread why ASUU is on strike yet you continue to refuse to learn. But still, give me the name of your ASUU lecturer so I can ask them why you have not been kicked out of class for failing to learn, because there is no way we are teaching you that you should get paid for doing no work so why would you think we your ASUU lecturers would be expecting to be paid for not working?

Please read the below, along with the posts of numerous people here who have already attempted to educate you. You might learn that we are striking because we are not paid for the work we have done and do, instead of you believing we want to be paid for doing no work.

And don't you forget to send me your lecturers name please.

HitRun:
Lol, home and where? Who for abroad go come collect that rubbish wey them call salary? Izz like head de pain you.

Anyway, one of the reason ASUU Dey on strike na because of earned allowance. You know Wetin that earned allowance be? You no know, make I tell you: ratio of students to lecturers too much. To reduce that ratio, govt need employ more lecturers. But either them no fit find qualified people to employ or them no wan employ, so them decide the pay the lecturers allowance to teach those extra students wey dem no suppose the teach. The point be say govt no fit or no wan employ. So perish any idea of say govt go sack anybody employ new people because them no go see who to employ.

HitRun, gratitude, as I seem to keep using your work. Goverment must pay for the extra stupidity of students too.

I feel this must have been posted already.

Kazakhstan has 1/10 of Nigeria's population and produces as much oil.

As of today, they even produce twice as much oil.

Try putting things in perspective before going on your "Woe is me" dirge.

Most don't understand how poor Nigeria is. They think oil will feed everyone despite the fact they are obviously starving.

I doubt Palestine would accept a two state solution that does not split Jerusalem.

This is so you Ben see how far the Fed intends to go. I think they'd have to go much further and for longer.

Ibime:
Japan have been in a deflationary cycle since the 1990s crisis. Their inflation is only 3% and they need it after 3 decades of deflation or near-zero inflation. A decent variance in interest rates between Japan and USA will bring money home to Japan to help stimulate growth as Japanese invest/save heavily in USA since the crisis.

Unfortunately, Japan must buy energy in foreign currency, and devaluing its currency makes its exports expensive and undesirable to those willing to buy it. But they probably think as you've stated here and the world is watching closely to see how it plays out. It might be that it pays off in the end, or it might not. They sure do need higher inflation it seems, or growth, but 3% inflation will hurt Japan.

Gromilla010:
you are so myopic. you claim that God does not exist and I ask you to defend your belief you started typing rubbish!!!

You can't even defend your atheist belief!!
If actually you think in your debased mindset that God doesn't exist then you should actually have proof to defend your assertion.

I don't see why I should prove a thing does not exist in a thread not related to the existence of that thing while you choose to ignore the questions you posed in your own thread. After all this thread is not about God's existence or not. I've even asked you to open a thread on that issue and invite me to it so as not to derail your own thread but you appear to have failed to do so.

Either ways, I do not hold discussions with those who fail to read what I write and insert their own beliefs in place of what I write, and nor do I see the point discussing with those who can not say what they have to say without being rude, and stupid in your case as you are being.

If you want me to prove to you that Okonkwo and Harry Potter and Gods do not exist, learn some manners and start a thread, or force me if you can. Until then, sweat, I suppose.

I admit that in the past I would sometimes give in to it's begging, but I didn't think it would turn out this way.

I knew it was wrong, but I don't know why I did it and most of the time I like spicy food, which I don't think they're healthy for the cat.

Well, you not thinking it would turn out this way, was training for the cat.

You'd hopefully learn from it because children learn bad behaviour the same way from their parents who "sometimes give in" and "didn't think it would turn out this way".

Why buy it cat food when it obviously likes what you eat?

My neighbours' cats always visit my house for food even though their owners feed them well from what I can see from their big fat bellys.

I think it's because I buy them premium food which I can afford as I'm not their main food provider.

You misstrained your cat by feeding it your food in the first place, and now you need to find a way to detrain it.

It seems more are finally seeking understanding, though the person the response below was to wasn't in the end.

The story is more like programming, as in, how some want to create you. Any person with a brain would object to a God who lies that you would die if you eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil then you eat and do not die.

And before anyone claims Adam and Eve died when they ate, just you note what they achieved after eating and how long they lived after.

budaatum:
I think it does make sense.

Evidence shows that some are created in God's image to rule and subdue and dominate and be blessed, while some are created naked from mud to slave in the Garden of Eden and not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil for fear that they will die.

Thankfully, there's also a certain unbelieving Eve who used her own senses to check if she would die if she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil only to find it good for food and for opening eyes and for gaining wisdom and for freeing from slavery in Eden from where she went in to be self employed and populated the earth with humans who are now on the way to rule over and subdue and dominate the moon and Mars.

The question then becomes, are you created in God's Image or are you descendants of stupid ignorant Adam, or at least use her own senses Eve?

Inflation will rage on and they will keep doing this

Ben, yes, they will, and must, or inflation will get much higher and then will people really cry, though borrowers, and not savers who are finally getting a return on their money.

Some will tell you interest rates need to rise higher than the inflation rate in order to stamp down on inflation. The problem is they started too late and are now playing catch up.

And for your information, the Fed Chair Jerome Powell has been in office since February 5, 2018, so your "another one by your man's Feds" is rather inaccurate, or you didn't know, or you just plain lied as usual.
