HellVictorinho:
I don't believe someone can be resurrected or brought back to life if he or she actually died.
I don't believe someone can appear after dying because dying means he or she ceased to exist as a living thing.
Don't continue with such comparisons!

Why don't you believe someone can appear after dying? Someone saw it and said so, so why is it any different from someone telling you what occultist eat that you do believe?

I mean, don't you just lazily believe what someone told you anymore?

zendi:
But your cancellation exercise was a mindless overkill. You cancelled even the foxnews link reporting an innocent piece of science news.

No zendi. I cancelled the silly opinion you expressed because it was made out of ignorance and is not true.

The landing on the moon is a great achievement regardless.

Martian:
I got banned too. I think they are discriminating against Martians.

They must not like Martians and buda.

Martian:
That’s a big claim. What you’re implying is that people in Nigeria never had cultures that promoted and valued goodwill towards their neighbors. You’re implying that without the bible and quran, Nigerians wouldn’t know to love their neighbors. Sounds like a white supremacist view.

I never made the claim you accuse me of here, Martian. My claim is that we do not seem to teach it like it is taught in some religions. You can prove me wrong however by providing just one teaching from your tribe that teaches it.

As for all the rest. I'm going to not do a to and fro trying to convince you the Bible has done more Good than the evil you claim it did. If you know the history of the world pre-Bible, and understand how the education systems around most of the world derive from it, I would not even need to.

Perhaps consider separating an improper understanding of the book from a progressive understanding and it might make sense to you.

If you are not in charge,how can you stop Boko Haram from attacking your area with books only?

I believe that if I educate you you will find better things to do than join boko haram but I guess I can not convince everyone. Do let me know if I failed where you are concerned.

HellVictorinho:
I have heard from those that have seen.

Some people believe A Man Died, Buried, Appeared In Another Land Where Nobody Knows Him because they too heard it from those who have seen so it must be true.

Godoverevery:
You don't need to do anything to piss such women off.... seeing him in that house have already made her Angry.

You can never please someone who doesn't like you no matter how good you behave she will still have issh.

You have assumed she is "such women" instead of considering you yourself might be such man who just pisses people off.

I have just one bit of advice for you. Two, in case a picture won't do.

HellVictorinho:
Actually, I've heard of people consuming faeces as an occultic practice.
I've also heard of people using parts of themselves or other people for rituals.

You've heard? I hope you see why you should learn about it yourself instead of lazily relying on you heard. You sound like those who heard Apostle Suleiman and powered his third jet.

HellVictorinho:
I never asked what I would gain from unspecific knowledge.
I was referring to the specific knowledge of occultism.

You'd know about occultism for starts, and be able to decide to resist or embrace it.

Perhaps see it as some see the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. You can either pluck it and eat and see if it kills you, or walk by it everyday believing 'God'.

Stop mistaking his ignorance for lies. He really has not got a clue.

He is so full of arrogance in ignorance.

We can educate him. Learning, however, is entirely up to him

Stop reading minds. You're no good at it. And if you believe the crap you wrote there you'd start believing it and get worse.

[s]As this technology touches down on mars, I can read the mind of Leftists;

This whole thing is racist.
The math behind it is white supremacist.
The engineers' ancestry owned slaves.
The on-board national flag is good only for burning.
The mission control room is too white.
The entire space program be defunded.
The money be used to re-settle more alien left-wing voters;
New populations, to help suppress 'white nationalism'.

CodeTemplar:
You have a point about BH not being able to indoctrinate those who read for themselves. Just few days ago some supposedly learned Christians were applauding a pastor who barely travel or has a large ministry but with three jets. The bible is now like a constitution that's too technical for then to read and make informed judgements from. If I may ask, what is BH currently fighting for? Get the answer to that and juxtapose it with their pattern of operations and attack and funding and affiliations then see if still makes sense.

They are fighting for control kf resources and are just ignkrant crooks hiding behind religion.

MrPresident1:
You exchanged your GEJ for your PMB

Yes I did. I did not like the looting under GEJ.

Do one on the age of the universe to put it into perspective.

HellVictorinho:
If you were in charge...................
How many books can put you in charge
You need some connections,too.

Actually, no I do not need connections, nor do I need to be in charge. I just need to feel responsible, and to be honest, little me can not be responsible for solving the entire Nigeria's boko haram problem. I am however responsible for solving the boko haram problem in my tiny Orolu Kingdom, which I do not shirk from it. If you remember, you asked what you would gain from it.

I guess I'd do more with greater resources, but the internet has made physical books redundant so I share knowledge online instead now as you know I do.

shadeyinka:
I guess you assume that my take is purely from what some people fed me with in the church!LOL!! I've read a lot from several sources too and this is what makes sense without contradicting the written scriptures for me. Of course, I am still open to knowledge!

If you like, you can say I've been biased by these premises
1. My conclusions must not violate the scriptures
2. My conclusions must be in harmony with the rest of the scriptures
3. My conclusions must not be at tangent to God's nature
4. My conclusions must NOT contradict the message of REDEMPTION
5. My conclusions must NOT violate good REASON!

You keep mentioning "the Scripture" as if it is some God. Did Christ not teach you to violate Scripture, or are you going to resort to wuruwuru and claim he taught you nothing of the sort?

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Godoverevery:
So if he provoked her the next thing is to throw the boy out can she throw her sibling out

So my bro wife throw me out of is house and I will have good relationship with the family going forward

If you want to have good relationship with the family perhaps you would not do anything to piss off your brother's wife so she does not throw you out in the first place.

It is an option, don't you think?

shadeyinka:
Adam and Eve prior their fall certainly had knowledge of only Good. Eating of the fruit brought them knowledge of evil (in addition to their prior knowledge). Why then would the tree that brought them evil be known as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

No they did not only "had knowledge of good". They had no knowledge whatsoever, not even that they were naked, not until they ate of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which was desirable for gaining wisdom, which you can only have after acquiring knowledge and your eyes opening so you can see.

shadeyinka:
It seems your keywords is the phrase , "you will become like us".

This connote that God was hiding knowledge to studying the Godly way to be which involves knowing what is good and knowing what is bad so you can separate the wheat from the chaff.
[i]Why would God be angry with them for such a knowledge?

Interesting question. Shows brain use. Indeed, why would a God be angry with them for refusing to remain ignorant?

Can't say I know. But if the serpent can enter into the Garden of Eden and deceive Adam and Eve, is it implausible that the serpent can enter into the book we are discussing and distort it so we believe what we are told instead of using our brains to discover what might be the truth? I mean, look at how some are resorting to wuruwuru to convince themselves that Adam and Eve died after eating the fruit when the text states they surely lived a further 800 years or so.

Go study the Gospels. You will find that Jesus was feeding you Fruits of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil so you will be freed from those he said "woe" to. Or do you see no relationship between the Word and knowledge? Can you resist evil if you do not know what evil is?

The fact remains that Adam and Eve did not die any sort of death until they had lived a further 800 years or so after eating the fruit. Or is it no more true that the ignorant die sooner than those who learn to live?

BassReeves:
What does 'surely' means, if not, an emphasis on a certainty and of, a fact.

The understanding you need to get, is that, what you've learnt and ascribed to mean 'surely die' actually means, you will begin the process of dying.

I do think you get this from the bullpiss. It must be very difficult for you to accept that on eating the fruit their eyes did open and they surely did not die until 800 or so years later so you resort to what I call wuruwuru to the answer in order to convince yourself to go on believing what you have been ordered to believe.

You will forgive buda please. I am the wrong person to have this conversation with. I will however suggest you read the thread from the beginning. You will find we evolved past this point on page one, and that buda evolved a long time ago.

BassReeves:
What religious box are you advocating anyone to step out of?

The one thst causes you to say the following for starts:

BassReeves:
The unfortunate thing about eating of the 'Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil' that also doubles up, as, the 'Tree of Death' is that the act was premature, ill timed and a costly mistake.

Its a belief. One you got from indoctrination and not from a reading of the text.

No reading of Genesis 3 would make one conclude that eating the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil causes death or Adam and Eve would have surely died when they ate it. Instead, their eyes opened and they discovered they were naked and lived for over 800 years after eating the FotToKoG&E so I can't understand how you could claim it caused their death unless someone has told you to believe it did and you believe it.

Stay focus! This discourse is about the ESN and Criminal elements from the northwest, Boko haram existed before this Buhari administration...

So are you telling me that the families of the secondary school students and the students themselves kidnapped in Buhari neighborhood that they are lying when they sais the Government paid RANSOME to their kidnappers?

What a caring government. Paying kidnappers to free their citizens. That is so very kind of the government to care about its people so much.

nsiba:
.

So give me one precise location in the northwest that it was done and no money exchange took place

What do you mean by no money exchange took place? Was I there to see if money exchange took place anywhere? Were you?

Please stop promoting propaganda that you have no evidence for! No one said money exchange took place when boko haram shot helicopter down!

Litmus:
Even a retard wouldn’t be stupid enough to regurgitate that old Western prescription calculated to trap Africa in perpetual strife and conflict. Poverty is impossible to eradicate since poverty is relative. You'll never be able to build enough schools, hospitals, roads, jobs or amenities to satisfy those that say they are fighting the state due to poverty.

Poverty of knowledge is the problem. It is exemplified by the lack of infrastructure as no schools. People who are uneducated are impoverished and disempowered and that's why boko haram gets a hold of them.

If I were in charge, I'd flood the place with Quran and Bible in their local language then add other books on top. Boko Haram can not deceive those who learn to read for themselves.

What of kastina, Kaduna,sokoto zamfara?

nsiba:

Limit this discourse to South East and North west.

I am afraid it will be limited to wherever terrorists and bandits are killing and raping and kidnapping innocent citizens, though I hope they are not using helicopters in cities.

ImaIma1:
How do we know what the truth is? It didn't seem like it was the cooking in her kitchen and serving his friend that was the issue.

The OP was obviously economical with the whole truth. Someone who has such entitlement mentality about his brother's acquisitions.

Does he treat his brother's wife with respect or he treats her like a leech that came to take his place in his brother's house?

It is not news that some wives can be territorial especially with husband's family. Everyone should learn to respect each other's space.

All this husband's family fighting the wife is becoming old. Left to some, the won't allow their brother get married so that they can have his undivided attention.

I think you are far too intelligent for this thread. Some want to think the wife was insane and acted without provocation when the brother-in-law who opened the thread was obviously economical with the truth.

Op, please, don't marry so you and your siblings can enjoy your house and pot of soup in peace.

I watched.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vietnam_War_%28TV_series%29?wprov=sfla1]The Vietnam War (TV series)[/url] before this so you might understand how pissed off I got at the ineptitude of war especially when it involves Americans who seem to have more bullets in guns than brains in heads.

The second war was named "Operation Iraqi Freedom", but this would make you wonder if it should have been 'Lets Go Fuq Up Some Arabs'. You'd be glad its a miniseries of 7 episodes and there was no season two, but in reality it's a series of fuq ups and must piss you off and likely make you a jihadist! If you get past ep 2½ I would like to know.

Kindly accept my apologies for my foul language. And get a military dictionary. Its the only way you might get to know what [url=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=November%20Juliet]November Juice[/url] is.
