Christianity Etc › Re: God’s Presence Does Not Guarantee Success by budaatum: 2:05am On Dec 30, 2020

I think the lesson is not to mistake Arks of the Lord for God. Afterall, God is written to have said:

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."

It's like people take the Word of God as the God without realising that focusing on arks blinds them to the God the Words describe and teach us about. Mistaking the finger for the moon is how the Chinese described it. Hardly pleasing to a vengeful jealous God.

By their fruits, they say, shall we know them. The Lord is with those who produce godly fruit is what I think.

I dont know how to go about it. Whether to address it based on the topic or your write up that follows.

I will try to unify or sychronise it.
I grew up with this notion that " readers are leaders" so i try as much as possible to read whatever i can lay my hands on. You cant possibly decode how that went..trying to jorgle studying for a degree in chemical engineering and at the same time trying to find answers to life pressing questions.

You see buda,the real hell is a closed minded human being. Self improvement is a continuous process.

The only advice i have for you is to define your terms and new words as you encounter them. Happy reading.

Son, do you know that there is an advancement from "new words" to new ways of thinking, reasoning and seeing?

Yes, hell is ignorance. That's why it is written that people die of it. The irony of your above though, considering over half a century of daily reading, amuses me.

I got to say, buda is not reading any of these yet, in case anyone assumes. First, I go blind after an hour or 2 of reading, and I got to get through:

A credulous law student believed that “in addition to all his professional reading, Mr. Herndon read every year more new books in history, pedagogy, medicine, theology, and general literature, than all the teachers, doctors, and ministers in Springfield put together.” On his shelves were authors almost unknown in the Mississippi Valley—Kant, Renan, Fichte, Buckle, Froude. Perhaps he did not always understand what he read, but he learned enough to become a kind of frontier evangelist for transcendentalism, that Emersonian faith that the questioning heart could, without mediation of religion or authority, discern truth. He prided himself on his “mud instinct,” his “dog sagacity,” which enabled him to see “to the gizzard” of questions. What he saw encouraged him to believe in illimitable progress, and he greeted the unseen with a cheer: “The Struggles of this age and succeeding ages for God and man—Religion—Humanity and Liberty ... may they triumph and Conquer forever, is my ardent wish and most fervent soul-prayer.”

Timiofak:
59 cases were throw out due to technicalities!!!!!

Doesn't that show you the quality of lawyers representing your cause?

For example,

If I was suing anyone or any business and my case gets dropped out of court due to technicalities just 5 times!!! Not too talk of 58 times!!!! I'll definitely take my business away from the present law firm to another law firm and ill definitely report the law firm to the bar, because they are jokers not lawyers Or in fact reevaluate my case if it has any legal standing.

You get sense. Unfortunately you think everyone else got sense too so you undervalue the sense you got by not understanding, you get sense.

Well, not exactly going to hell except perhaps in the minds of those Stockholm drones who condemn Eve for opening eyes to bondage. Just my reading, or to be accurate, my book buying, rather still to be exact, my book ordering addiction is back.

I used to walk down streets with bookshops so I could go in knowing I could not walk out without buying a book. Then I began walking down streets with like 10 bookshops and go in every one and buy books. But now I'm on lockdown I don't even need to leave my home to find a bookshop and I think I seriously need help!

I will list the books as they arrive. You will understand better when you see what I ordered.

Now you get it. We complain instead of understanding we are the ones who make our Nigeria what it is and what we want it to be.

I thank the Gods that time is on our side. We can continue moaning if we prefer or get off our lazy asses and start being the change we want to see. One day for sure the date will be somewhere in the year 2030, and 2040, and 2050, and 2060, and even if we are dead we will leave offspring who will hopefully not abandon our graves because they suffer too much from our wailing and inaction.

Exactly and these are part of the reasons we voted him out but the Nigeria is much more worse under Buhari. Human right and rule of law have no standing here and we have a careless government

You saying we voted out Ebele for bubu who is now worse and you want to blame bubu or buda, for our choice?

You see, this is what most fail to get. We, the Nigerian electorate, elected bubu, and instead of accepting we might have made a mistake and figure out a way to not make the same mistake next time, we are here insulting one another while the bubu is enjoying life like we can only dream of living.

Election soon come again. The way we are going however I expect us to elect some other incompetent person as president. Remember this. If you think it is bad under bubu, you have not seen bad yet, because it will most definitely get worse than it is today, sadly, before it starts getting better someday.

So in all things you can proudly say buhari is better than Jonathan?

No, I can't say that "in all things" because it will not be true. In most things though.

One is there is definitely less free money for lazy fuqs under bubu, and for that I'm glad because hailing politicians for pay has become less lucrative and people must find something to do for their dinner that literally fell like manna under Ebele.

If you listen carefully, you'll hear the hungry lazy fuqs moaning.

HellVictorinho:
Can perfection be taught?

Can one be perfect? Is perfect not a state of becoming, as in, what one can only aspire towards and the closer one gets the further it is from one?

One can learn to strive to become "perfect" but there really aren't enough years in one lifetime to achieve it is what I think, not if living actually matters to one at least. Just playing the piano semi-perfectly takes hours of daily practise, so imagine if one wants to be a perfect human being if such a thing can exist, that is.

Imagine the teacher. Are they perfect humans and teachers who perfectly know and understand what they teach or do they assume to be perfect according to their own scale? Then imagine the student. Are they perfect at studenting?

Diligence is one thing that is taught as a proxy for perfection or near enough to it. Humans who recognise their falibility and strive to overcome it get better. But perfect? Hmmmm.

Read the perfection of buda. You might understand buda's imperfection.

You have no evidence Buhari is stealing public funds, and to be honest with you, I too would be corruptly nepotic if I were President. You Nigerians can scream all you want but my Yoruba tribe will insist I give them more jobs than I give Fulanis, Hausas, Igbos and all other tribes put together and my village people would do much worse if I don't.

It depends on the superiority of a performance.
In other words,if there is a specific activity that is carried out by people and a person performs that activity in a way that cannot be matched,then he or she is perfect as a doer of such activity.
So,let's specify the activity before we talk about perfection.
I have used rap as an example before.

Do you want us to start an argument on what is perfect, especially after I said it's like beauty, in the eye of the beholder, lol? You do understand that I mean that my 'perfect' might be just 'good' on your perfection scale, or so 'bad' or 'superior' that your scale might need adjusting?

It's not a competition hell. I'm just exchanging opinion with you and not asking you to believe me. That's what reasoning is about afterall. The exchange of opinion and ideas so one learns.

Some places are worse now and some other places were worse under Jonathan, and if I remember correctly, money meant to fight terrorist under GEJ ended up in some foreign bank account.
