"who says he can't step out of his house for one night? Like u said\and like the guy would say, :" he is goin to have a night out with the boys" -- now, if u know that a "night out with the "boys" is what u want, why head to a club? -- is a club used for playing poker? Is a club used for talking\watching sports? no, the main aim\use of a club is : TO MEET BABES and TO LOOK AT WOMEN! -- dispute me -- u are a guy, when u prepare to go clubbing wht is goin through your head? is it to go and dance with a guy? sit and stare at some guys? NO, u go there because it is a fun place to be in because THERE ARE WOMEN AND FINE BABES ALL OVER! Full stop!"


Now, no one is sayin he shouldn't have a "boys night out" Besides, let's face it. Calling it a boys night out is just a way of disguising wht it really is, You are not going to a "boys night out" u are going CLUBBING! Call it wht it is.  . . . boys night out my a$$, will u stay five minute in that "boys night out" if there weren't botty women walking around and shaking there asses all over?? --  Why not just go to a gay bar, if u really want to have a "boys" night out?
sometimes u men think u are talking to small children, *hiss* . . . at least a little respect for your marriage home?

@Nella
What's so horrible about looking at babes?

Yes, one of the reasons we go clubbing is to relax and ogle all those women and fine babes shaking their asses all over, maybe flirt a little and recharge our hormones.

It may also suprise you to know that serious deals get made in clubs, business networking is more easily achieved, and beneficial friendships are sometimes made.
So you see, its not all about "meeting babes".

In any way, if I return from the club with a 50million naira contract, won't the same wife call me the best husband in the whole world?

Abeg, spare me the hysterics!!

HR.hotness:
You guys always whine about the number of things the guy gives up. . .

New Flash:

Women also give up alot when they get married. . . we don't hear them whining do we

Deal with it dude!

@HR
what are those things women give up?


@sistawoman
Thank you for keeping it real.

Nella:
wht a foolish example.

Like u said : " She knows you always go to the Club at least once a month to hang out with your guys, and she never had any problem with that when you were dating."


There, "when u were dating" , But now u are married and no more a boy but a man, So 4 Christ sake put your whole boyish behaviors to the side and take on the responsibilities of being a man! u are no more 24.

Besides, using your example, how about this : "look, your wife also used to club and go partying with friends every Thursday night when u were dating, how about she continues that now in your marriage hu? After all u never had any problem with it when u were dating.

If u are married, then be married. If u want to go out and club and chat up babes with the boys, then y in the world get married??

And tell me the guy doesn't do any of those listed there!??

@Nella

How many things will a man give up for the sake of "taking on the responsibilities of a man" as you put it?

He gave up his lady friends (not lovers)
He gave up his male friends( she scared them off)
He gave up his sports(no watching supersport when she's on AfricanMagic)
His Mum needs permission to visit
She even made him give up Beer!

Now he cannot step out of his own house for one night?


"SHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR"

How come when you're dating, everything's fun, you flow beautifully with your babe, conversation's no problem, the two of you can sit for hours just chatting and laughing. You think" life cannot be better than this. At last, I found my soul mate"

But immediately the two of you are married, everything changes. Gone is the fun, the laughter, the attraction. Conversation becomes a contest where every statement you make can and will be used against you. For example:

You say: Honey, I will be going to the club tonight with my gees. Its our Boys night out.

She hears: Honey, I am fed up staying in the house with you. I'm going to the club where I will drink tons of beer, tell my friends all about you, and likely chat up a babe or two.

_{She knows you always go to the Club at least once a month to hang out with your guys, and she never had any problem with that when you were dating.}

Bastage:
The concensus amongst theologians is that the Hebrews had "olive" skin tone.
They were neither black nor white.

The Hebrews were not a race. They were a religion.

Explain pls!

zerocool:
Disagree with sign #10:

Most, if not all 'correct' babes would definitely want to flake out on you when you invite them for lunch or something. They wudn't want to look easy to ask out and some would want to know how your going to 'react' to been denied an invitation request. Geddit!

@zerocool

Flaking out once or twice is ok. But flaking out every single time you invite her out
Come on bro, wake up and smell the coffee!

cruworld:

eldee:

Na you know ooh, my mallam's uncle married 86

@eldee

86 wives? Now that is a TOP DAWG I doff my hat

detruth:
Either of the ways; agents of satan will love to justify the man Lucifer!

@detruth

when does asking simple Biblical questions translate into being agents of Satan? Why did God give you a brain?
Why do you have the ability to think? or question things?

Bastage:
Pain and misery are negative feelings and therefore associated with failure.

It is not a denial of divinity to state that Jesus experienced a sense of failure. As you've said, he was human. Therefore he would have had all of a human being's emotions. An ability to experience failure is one of the attributes of being human.

well put Bastage

As God in human form, I believe he would have had to experience the full gamut of human emotions to fully identify with us. Being without sin has nothing to do with experiencing failure. To fail is human after all.
Anyways, I'm still searching the Bible,

duny:
Guy, your 10 signs are not all true.
date some other ladies and you will know that all ladies are not the same

@duny,

which of the signs do you disagree with?

The Rock - Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery

There are literally billions of single women out there at the moment.

Go ahead, add them up. Billions. Have you ever wasted time, money and oxygen on one that you never even had a chance with? Of course you didn’t realize it at the time, but yeah, you probably have. And the really annoying thing is that all the clues were right there in front of you, but you didn’t acknowledge them because you were so focused on the prize.

Well, you never need to make that mistake again, because we’re here to spell out the top 10 signs she’s not interested in you. Sure, it’s a hard thing to accept, but you’ll be much better off if you can spot these signs early on. You’ll also need to consider that these signs may come to you at any stage of the courtship: the day you ask her out, on the first date or perhaps even a few dates in. When any one of these signs she’s not interested do creep up, it should be your cue to move along and set your sights on one of the other billion girls out there.

Here they are, the top 10 signs she’s not interested in you:

10. She declines an invitation

Even once is not OK. Maybe her story about a busy schedule is true, but unless she's going into the hospital to have a kidney transplant that evening, a girl is going to find a way to go out with a guy she’s interested in. We’re not saying that you need to give up on this girl if she turns you down once, but you may need to prepare yourself for an uphill struggle to win her affection.

9. She hasn’t introduced her friends

When it comes to dating, most girls want the approval of their friends. If, after several dates, she still hasn’t tried to exhibit you to one or more of her friends, it means she doesn’t expect any type of romantic relationship develop. She might be spending time with you because she has no better alternatives at the moment, but take her “secrecy” about you as one of her signs she’s not interested.

8. She always brings her friends

Conversely, if you can’t get this girl to come out for some one-on-one time, there’s obviously something wrong. There’s very little room for romantic maneuvering when she has her friends in tow, which is why this is one of the signs she’s not interested in you. If she never gives you the opportunity to get close, she’s probably happy with the distance between you.

7. She talks about other men

Unless it’s Brad Pitt, or someone equally famous and unattainable, her talk about other men should cause you some concern. This girl’s clearly on the lookout for someone besides you, and this is a not-so-subtle way of letting you know that. The jealousy angle should not be coming into play in the early stages of a relationship -- there’s plenty of time for that later. Furthermore, if she has the nerve to ask you for relationship advice, she has likely placed you in the “trusted male friend” category. Either that or she’s already playing mind games with you, which is a big red flag -- thankfully, you can recognize this as a sign she’s not interested.

6. She pays more attention to other men (in a group setting)

In this scenario, you begin the night as a couple and end up with a group -- at a club or something -- and she spends more time talking to another guy. Unless it’s her brother or business partner, you should be concerned. Not only is she willing to risk losing you to other girls, but she also doesn’t really care about appearing rude. Sure, she may run back to you when it’s time to collect the coats and arrange the cabs home, but it’s clear that her heart isn’t in it, and you should probably cut her loose at this point.

5. She avoids intimate settings

Where she chooses to meet you says a lot. There’s a huge difference between a quiet dinner for two and coffee at lunch. If you ask her out for a romantic dinner and she suggests a lunch date, it might mean that she doesn’t want you to get the impression that your friendship is leading anywhere, particularly the bedroom. Take this avoidance for what it’s worth: it's one of her signs she’s not interested.

4. She hasn’t come near you

Whether it’s by conscious decision or not, if she hasn’t made any sort of physical contact with you, such as a brush on the arm or a pat on the thigh, she may have already counted you out of the race. It’s said that women generally know within a few minutes of meeting a man whether they’ll go to bed with him, and if there’s no incidental contact within the first couple of meetings, the chemistry’s probably not there and she knows it.

3. She doesn't engage in body language

The body language of a woman who is attracted to you is a telltale sign of interest. Does she play with her hair, mirror your gestures, sit up straight and generally try to look her best around you? No? Then she’s sending out signs she’s not interested.

2. She plays up other girls

This clue is as blatant as they come, yet men fail to read into this correctly. Unlike men, girls are constantly trying to set up their single friends, especially if they think you’d be a good match. When the girl you think you’re seeing starts to big up a single friend and asks you what you think about her, she’s more than likely trying to shake you off.

1. She doesn’t return your calls

Please, for your sake, take this as one of the major signs she’s not interested and not as an amusing game of cat and mouse. Don’t assume that she lost your number, that she tried to call but the line was busy or any other delusional rubbish like that. There’s nothing sadder than a guy who refuses to take a hint; don’t be him. Sure, you’re thinking: Some girls like persistent men. True, but they won’t really respect these men in the end. Don’t get played like this.


So, if you are in a relationship wher the object of your desire is showing any of these signs, maybe its time you move on bro,

Remember, there are a billion other girls waiting,

Ok, before I'm torn into pieces, here's my argument:

1. We know Jesus came into the world in human form as the Bible says

2. He went thru all those things we humans go thru e.g hunger, temptations, death e.t.c

3. Failure is one of the biggest and most constant human experiences - at least I know I failed in so many endeavours

4. There was no record of Jesus experiencing failure in the Bible (so far as I can tell)


So, to you scholars, did Jesus Christ experience any instance of failure while on earth?

The word "Lucifer" in Isaiah 14:12 presents a minor problem to mainstream Christianity. It becomes a much larger problem to Bible literalists, and becomes a huge obstacle for the claims of Mormonism.
John J. Robinson in A Pilgrim's Path, pp. 47-48 explains:


"Lucifer makes his appearance in the fourteenth chapter of the Old Testament book of Isaiah, at the twelfth verse, and nowhere else: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"

The first problem is that Lucifer is a Latin name. So how did it find its way into a Hebrew manuscript, written before there was a Roman language? To find the answer, I consulted a scholar at the library of the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. What Hebrew name, I asked, was Satan given in this chapter of Isaiah, which describes the angel who fell to become the ruler of hell?


The answer was a surprise. In the original Hebrew text, the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel.
It contains no mention of Satan, either by name or reference. The Hebrew scholar could only speculate that some early Christian scribes, writing in the Latin tongue used by the Church, had decided for themselves that they wanted the story to be about a fallen angel, a creature not even mentioned in the original Hebrew text, and to whom they gave the name "Lucifer."

Why Lucifer? In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun.
The name derives from the Latin term lucem ferre, bringer, or bearer, of light." In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian king before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn."
The name evokes the golden glitter of a proud king's dress and court (much as his personal splendor earned for King Louis XIV of France the appellation, "The Sun King".

The scholars authorized by , King James I to translate the Bible into current English did not use the original Hebrew texts, but used versions translated , largely by St. Jerome in the fourth century. Jerome had mistranslated the Hebraic metaphor, "Day star, son of the Dawn," as "Lucifer," and over the centuries a metamorphosis took place. Lucifer the morning star became a disobedient angel, cast out of heaven to rule eternally in hell. Theologians, writers, and poets interwove the myth with the doctrine of the Fall, and in Christian tradition Lucifer is now the same as Satan, the Devil, and --- ironically --- the Prince of Darkness.

So "Lucifer" is nothing more than an ancient Latin name for the morning star, the bringer of light.

That can be confusing for Christians who identify Christ himself as the morning star, a term used as a central theme in many Christian sermons. Jesus refers to himself as the morning star in Revelation 22:16: "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
And so there are those who do not read beyond the King James version of the Bible, who say 'Lucifer is Satan: so says the Word of God', "

Henry Neufeld (a Christian who comments on Biblical sticky issues) went on to say,
"this passage is often related to Satan, and a similar thought is expressed in Luke 10:18 by Jesus, that was not its first meaning. It's primary meaning is given in Isaiah 14:4 which says that when Israel is restored they will "take up this taunt against the king of Babylon . . ." Verse 12 is a part of this taunt song. This passage refers first to the fall of that earthly king,

How does the confusion in translating this verse arise? The Hebrew of this passage reads: "heleyl, ben shachar" which can be literally translated "shining one, son of dawn." This phrase means, again literally, the planet Venus when it appears as a morning star. In the Septuagint, a 3rd century BC translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek, it is translated as "heosphoros" which also means Venus as a morning star.

How did the translation "lucifer" arise? This word comes from Jerome's Latin Vulgate. Was Jerome in error? Not at all. In Latin at the time, "lucifer" actually meant Venus as a morning star. Isaiah is using this metaphor for a bright light, though not the greatest light to illustrate the apparent power of the Babylonian king which then faded."

noetic:
i wonder how intelligent u are?

u choose to discredit the claims of one record (the bible), believed by over a billion people against an ancient record which we can hardly make refrence to.

@noetic
Pay attention! I never discredited anything. When does asking questions translate to discrediting?
In the olden days, billions of people believed the earth was flat. Does that make it true?

Education is all about asking questions you hear?

There comes a time in a man’s life when he should grow up and get serious about a relationship. Maybe that’s true for some, but surely that doesn’t mean you have to submit to the ways of a dominant and controlling woman, does it? You don’t have to cower in the corner with your emasculated tail between your legs. Hell no!

If you've ever wondered whether or not you’re one of the many unfortunate suckers out there who've joined the ranks of the whipped (and are probably being mocked and ridiculed for it to boot), take a look at this list of top 10 signs you’re whipped; if you recognize any of them, for God’s sake, man up and do something about it.

10. Going for a beer requires permission

It’s not just going for a beer that requires her permission, so does every other trivial excursion. In the mind of your power-hungry girlfriend, going for a beer with your friends spells out trouble and, therefore, it’s heavily frowned upon. All of a sudden, you can’t even pop into a pub for a quick one at the end of the day without facing a barrage of harassment when you return home. Subsequently, you’ve stopped doing it to avoid the hassle. And that, for the record, makes you a spineless pansy. This is a big one boys, but our signs you’re whipped doesn’t end here.

9. She makes your decisions for you

You question how you ever let it get to the point where she makes your decisions for you, but it’s true. In your protective prison/womb of a relationship you no longer really make anything more than minor life decisions for yourself. Somehow, she's managed to grant herself a seat on the UN Security Council that is your life and she’s not afraid to wield her power of veto. As mandated by No. 9 of our signs you’re whipped, you have little or no say in the affairs that directly concern you, such as holiday destinations, major purchases or even plans for the weekend.

8. You have a joint e-mail/bank account

We all have friends who’ve fallen into the insane trap of sharing an e-mail account. You know the case: Buddy meets, dates and gets married to a dominant girl and, before you know it, you’re receiving e-mails that are signed by them both, but clearly written by her. This loss of independence is one of the clearest and most seemingly innocent signs you’re whipped by a woman. Certain prerogatives must be sacrificed in any serious relationship, of course, but don’t let her combine your personalities into one and do your speaking for you.

7. You go home when she’s ready

There was a time when men would drink their fill and decide if it was time to go home or not. Things have certainly changed for you if you’re whipped -- and not in any kind of progressive and mature way either. The decision to go home during a night of socializing is no longer yours when you’re whipped; now you wait for the “I’m ready” command and then rush off to get the coats and issue apologies to your friends (who, once you’ve left, just shake their heads and talk about your pathetic transformation). Your friends clearly recognize the signs that you’re whipped and they can’t understand why you allow it to continue.

6. You have a different social group

When your friends are magically replaced with her friends, you can take it as one of the definite signs you’re whipped. It’s no longer acceptable for you to spend time with your old crew, so you find yourself looking for an acceptable substitute, which ends up being the boring boyfriend of one of her friends. You have simply lost touch with all your old friends and you can’t understand how it ever happened.

5. She commits you to events

You might think your calendar of events is pretty open for the next few months, but little did you know how wrong you are as she has committed you to other events. In actuality, you’ve already been penciled into about a dozen boring affairs that are completely unbeknownst to you. The really sad thing is that she does it without your permission because she knows she doesn’t need it -- since you display such clear signs you’re whipped.

4. You constantly worry about her reaction

It’s a definite sign that you’re whipped when you get some piece of news (good or bad) and your thoughts immediately turn to how she will respond when she hears it. You don’t even consider how it affects you anymore, which is pretty weird when you think about it. When you walk through the door at the end of a day, you automatically start running through a list of things that have potentially made her angry and you brace yourself for her accusations and complaints.

3. Your friends don’t even bother

On your average Friday afternoon you used to get several calls and even more text messages from friends wondering about your plans for the evening. Now you get nothing because everyone just assumes that you’ll be kept under lock and key all weekend, and the scary thing is they’ve given up trying to help you escape.


2. What you once took for granted is now a victory

You’re whipped if your basic God-given rights, like killing a few beers and watching the game or other things you used to do regularly, have been usurped. Now, when you gain “permission” you feel like it’s your lucky day, even if it is tainted with the bitter knowledge that you’ll probably have to do something really annoying to pay her back for her so-called generosity.

1. You’re no longer interesting, funny or desirable

Essentially, her power over you has managed to drain you of all your willpower and creativity. Often it’s the ego that gets hit hardest when a man has been whipped into submission. You know you’re acting like a puppy and you begin to accept your dismal situation in order to spare yourself the embarrassment of dealing with it publicly. Over time you’ve been forced to water yourself down so much in the name of maturity and respectability -- terms used to manipulate you -- that you can no longer pretend to be of any use to anyone but your overbearing girlfriend.

WHIPPED INTO SHAPE
So, do you recognize any of these signs? If so, we feel for you even though it’s no one’s fault but your own; you should have defended your rights and dignity from the start. The end of the whip is not a nice place to be and if you’ve somehow found yourself there, we wish you all the luck in the world in reversing it. You’ll certainly need it.

@ topic

na wah , but of course yes !

Actually, It might suprise you to know that Lucifer is not the same as Satan.

Lucifer(bringer of light, star of the morning, e.t.c) was a human being, as records have it, a king in ancient Babylonia.

I was shocked when I discovered this. I am still shocked!

detruth:
Here comes again . . . What is your point? You love to change your name?

@detruth
Christianity is not a secret cult!
Its only in cults of darkness that you are forbidden to ask questions. I asked a simple question. If you cannot enlighten me, then please don't insult my intelligence.

Is the Satan in Christianity the same as Lucifer?

madamkoko:
Exactly, and I give the same response that the bible was written by those of Jewish traditions and heritage and focused more on their side of things.

thanx madamkoko

I also noticed that in pictorial rendering of biblical scenes, all characters are usually portrayed as white. Is this not a way of saying the blackman has no place in biblical things?

chukky76:
dude its a work of fiction. i'm sure no one out there believe that there was once a great battle for a place called middle earth where a small being called a hobbit had to take a ring into a fiery mountain to unmake a powerful necromancer called sauron. so y shld u be scared that people would believe this?

@chukky
I believe u r talking about "Lord of the Rings".

@Poster
Dan Brown did hi research, and wrote his novel. however wrong you may deem his research to be, at least give him credit for a work of pure genius.

If nothing else, the book forced us to keep an open mind about some things we believe.
As somebody said, read the book, appreciate its entertainment value and move on.

Why is the black man scarcely mentioned in the Bible? Were there no black human beings then?

spikedcylinder:
That makes you one of the very few.

@spiked
why should I want to know? To me, thats giving myself unnecessary grief. I believe the past is better kept where it belongs.

Ujujoan:
Thats my point. You don't have to lie outrightly to tell a lie.

Secnario: I go out on a date with this guy I just met and like; we run into an old friend of mine who happens to be a friend of his also.
My date: Hey guy, long time no see.
Friend: What's up with u?
My date: Nothing much ( turns to make the introductions). This is . . .
Me: Dont worry, we've met, we used to work together. Hi John.
Friend: Hey girl. You look even better than I can remember. _{the conversation continues bla, bla, bla}

And we move on . . .

My Date: Nice guys.
Me: Yea, he is
My date: He had this look in his eyes when he looked at you, did you date him?
Me: Nope, but we were really close back then; but no strings attached.

There's no way you'D expect me to tell him that I had to work overnight with the guy one time and one thing led to another and . . . Please note that I did not actually date the guy, so I dint lie; but technically, I wasnt telling the truth.

So Whitelexi, tell me you'D be 'honest' enough to say . . . I didnt date hime, but I had sex with him once.

lovely post Uju

See, thats exactly what I'm talking about. My girl wants me to swear I will always tell her the absolute truth no matter what. She's quite willing to tell me evrything in her past, including her love life, but I'm not too keen on knowing.

She's translating this reluctance on my part as evidence that I am secretive, and not to be trusted since I'm not willing to tell her the truth about me.
I've told her what I think she should know, but she wants everything, especially my love life before I met her.

Is it possible/advisable to tell the absolute truth all the time, especially in a relationship?
