wirinet:
Books we read shape our personalities and our outlook towards like. Authors like Carl Sagan, Vincent Norman Peale, Tai Solarin, Lobsang Rampa, Robert Greene had a profound influence on my outlook towards life. The only part of the Bible that inspire me are Jesus's own words. I believe he was a humanist and pasifist like me. I abhor violence, especially as a means of getting others to accept our beliefs or point of view.
I think you assume most people allow themselves to be influenced by books they read like you do. Fact is, a lot of people read "thou shalt not steal", "thou shalt not commit adultery", "thou shalt not bear false witness", but go on to be thieves, adulterers and liars, and I doubt you'd claim the book inspired them.

This is the main reason I decided to remain irreligious, anyone that asks questions or questions your beliefs is automatically threatened with violence, and I am not a violent person.
Do the books people base their religion on tell them to be violent or are you basing your opinion on the religious people around you?

I was modest going into the higher institution at first. I wasn't happy with my poor status so I decided to try out alabi. I wanted to live large like other campus guys.


I probably didn't yield to mumsi's advice. she didn't have enough but did not joke with school fees. she sold some wrappers to raise 45k (I inflated what was needed) for the fees.

The way I see it Genesis chapter 1 and chapter 2 are two completely different stories.
That's what research shows. It's what you'd learn for GCSE (London).

That is why I call Christianity the first socialist revolution that never was.
In certain places perhaps. In many countries, the teachings of Christ has been the social revolution it was designed to be, just that most nations need to evolve past the dark ages of belief to get to the use your senses to "ask knock seek" stage of acquiring understanding.

By the way, it is not a contradiction, but a conundrum to be understood. Its like squaring the circle, if you are familiar with the phrase. You can't after all believe both at the same time.

Viserion:
man's quest for knowledge is endless!
It should be. Unfortunately we have lots of ignorant believing Adams amongst us, as opposed to knowledge and wisdom seeking Eves.
Christianity Etc › Re: Bible Contradiction - Did God Create Man First Or Created Man And Woman Together by budaatum:
wirinet:
I am expecting people filled with descerning spirit or holy spirit to help us explain the seeming contradiction.
Sorry, but I'll only be able to respond from what I read.

First we read, or it is written in Chapter 1 that:

Then God said, “Let us make (hu)mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created (hu)mankind in his own image in the image of God he created the male and female he created them.


Then was added the second chapter creation of Adam and Eve:

Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Many assume the (hu)mankind in Genesis 1 is the Adam and Eve in Genesis 2, but lets see the instruction they were given.

Gen 1 (hu)mankind is told 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.” While Gen 2 Adam and Eve were "put him in the Garden of them to work it and take care of it", which is a significant downgrade of the task given to (hu)mankind. Basically, (hu)mankind, it is written, was created to rule over the entire earth, while Adam and Eve were naked slaves in the tiny Garden of Eden.

Now, while these are just myths and stories they have significant implications for human beings who allow themselves to be programmed. You'd find that some prefer to be stupid ignorant knowledge averse believing Adams, while some would be use her senses knowledge and wisdom seeking Eves, but some are yet (hu)mankinds who are "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”. Each of us choose which creation we are.

You might notice the difference in nations that obey the instruction given to (hu)mankind in Genesis 1, and those that obey the instruction given to Adam in Genesis 2. Even nations that do as Eve did are doing better than the Adamic nations, and the (hu)mankind nations are ruling over them all.
Christianity Etc › Re: If God Created This Universe, What's To Say He Didn't Create Another? by budaatum:
Ignorance of other universes and the need to believe what one is told, is enough to convince many other universes might not exist.

Those seeking knowledge are on the way to Jupiter and Uranus so they can set up a springboard to other galaxies so they may find out.

Not true, Gala. Intelligent people would skip the unintelligent rubbish and read only the intelligent posts. I've just been through about 6 pages and Wirinet's intelligent posts and that one from Amazon were the only one's I read more than a few lines of while skipping their rubbish.

Report their rubbish if it breaks the rules. The mods would get round to banning them in due time. We all know they need the time out.

The traditional ways of winning have always been through rallies - and it is the most trusted and demonstrable way of showing how well you cared for those you want to govern.
This must be the reason they just count numbers at rallies and call a win for president.

constancefriday:
HATE SPEECH is now on the increase amongst some unseasoned Charlatans who claim they now know everything about the scriptures and that even the very elect are ignorant liars.
They're untrained, barely experienced and reckless with their use of the scriptures to support their personal bias and prejudices.
E.g "i may be angry or bias or prejudiced towards a person, a group of people, a certain selection of professional or career persons, a gender, a social class etc and i'll find scriptures to galvanize or support my prejudice."
Eg: A Preacher may have a bias or prejudice about the have-nots of the society and would by all means use scriptures to galvanize his prejudice. Trying to scripturally VICTIM BLAME the have nots of the society. I call such things Scriptural VICTIM BLAMING. It's very wrong and unChristlike.
Such types of use of the scriptures are mis-applied and misquoted and they are Satanic.
They are representing Satan with such actions. Real Preachers of the Gospel.of Jesus Christ use the scriptures to galvanize their godly love for the Children of God, lost souls and even sinners and enemies of the Gospel.
We cannot win more souls to Jesus Christ if we use the Scriptures to butress, or support our hatred for one another. It's against the intrinsic and extrinsic nature of God.
GOD is a lover. God loves everybody.
GOD hates nobody. And real Preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are not fraudulent and lazy. Pay no attention to charlatans who will drag you to Hell Fire with their scripturally backed speeches of hate and prejudice.
1 Corinthians 13:1-end, 1 Peter 4:8, John 13:34.

Education › Re: Harvard’s New Student Denied Entry Into US Over Social Media Posts By His Friend by budaatum: 11:48pm On Sep 25, 2021
Benlight:
He should remain in his country and enjoy his sharia rights. Period
Maybe he should have, but he didn't. No way were some useless "friends" going to ruin his future.

A Palestinian student who was controversially denied entry to the US last month when he arrived to begin study at Harvard has now been admitted.

Ismail Ajjawi said he was barred entry after border agents questioned him for hours at Boston Airport over social media posts written by friends.

The 17-year-old was admitted on Monday just in time to start at Harvard.

The US state department announced in June that most visa applicants were being asked for social media details.

I don't know what's going to happen to all his endorsements.

Joshua has some tremendous endorsement deals with Under Armour, Jaguar, StubHub, EA Sports, Sky Sports, Beats by Dre, AJ Elite Series, Lynx, BXR Gym, DAZN, Audemars Piguet, Electronic Arts, Hugo Boss e.t.c
Depends on contracts. Most won't be dependent on him losing and would likely go to term. He won't stop being commercial for losing this fight if a rematch is on the cards, and if he talks a good talk going into it, his endorsements would be even bigger since he is a conduit to untapped markets. You, that is.

Yes. I thought of the pay day too but AJ doesn't seem hungry for the titles anymore. His case is that of "being there, done that".

Fingers crossed for the future.
You may be right. With good management, his big paydays are ahead of him and not in boxing, though most boxers don't seem to be able to make the most of their achievements once out of the ring.

If he learns aggression, I'll root for him.

The rematch will most likely be a draw. Most boxing fans are tired of him been a champ. Most people are supporting Usyk, even in Uk
Supporting Usyk in UK? I guess in your part of UK. Here in London they even booed Usyk's national anthem, which I don't think was in support.
