Yes, you need a written law to know what is right from wrong or else it will be easy for people to oppress one another.

The written law is a guideline, without thise guidelines human being will generally destroy one another, a land without laws is a dangerous land.

For the ten commandments, i am talking about all the 10 commandments.

Thou shall not steal and the remaining 9 laws.

LordReed:
And hypocritical. Here is someone who is afraid of an unseen god throwing him into an unseen eternal torment as well as an unseen devil attempting to lure him to that eternal torment, calling other people "fear fear". Bwahahahahaha. It's just too rich. LMFAO!

HeavenlyHolines:
If you read the first time Jesus sent his disciples out to preach in Luke 9 and Luke 10,he told them not to take purse(money) with them but when he was about to leave in Luke 22, he told them to take their purse(money). There times and seasons in the spiritual realm. I can question him because I wasn't there when God told him but what I can say his that the Bible is our compass and the Holy Spirit is our guide. If you don't understand, He can guide you into all truth

To be realistic, i actually like the not using the Tv.

Tv are visual and what you watch on tv can corrupt your mind, that is why even on tv there is parental control because even the makers know that if tv use is not controlled it can damage the mind of children.

See Tv as a propaganda instrument instead of a box for watching visual content then you will understand the dangers of Tv

For example for Christians, the 10 commandments is the yardstick for creating laws in a Christian society.

For traditional worshippers, the traditional laws is been used to creates rules on law and order, creating trust in society.

This also extends to islam and other religions.

Religion is the backbone for every society.

The laws brought trust, peace and a stable society

HeavenlyHolines:
I am a deeper life member also and I really thank God for the sound foundational doctrine I received years ago. Although I was religious then, going to retreats and other activities but not until I gave my life to Christ. Knowing God experientially is more superior than any Church philosophy.

Twelfthman:
At some point I was was thinking like you too and that is true with most other people as well but not until i had a divine encounter which drew me closer to God...
When you know God all your questions will be answered. Think of it as a father & son type of relationship.

poiunt:
I am not religious but i believe in religion.

Whether you are Christian, Muslim or you worship the the African Gods, to have a sane society, religion is very important.

Actually religion have been the foundation of society and of human development.

All political, banking, economic development all came from religion.

The reason why you are revolting is because of the strict and radical rules you guys have in your church.

pocohantas:
Why do they do this? What are they hiding? It is annoying, stressful and scares clients away. Maybe I am wrong and it actually works for them. Any of them here should please explain to me the idea behind this.

franzis:
Why leaving out those who will see price boldly stated and they keep asking you how much is it , or the I will get back to you crew, its a two way thing

mimilogistics:
This is a great topic, thanks op.



But then, I have noticed on Facebook, Instagram, etc that even when the page or seller puts the price on the title or description, buyers, especially Nigerian buyers will still be asking: "How Much", " How do I Get This Product?", "Where is Your Shop?", etc even after the seller have put the price and how to order visibly on the product page.



So what do you have to say about that

Openbusiness:
Many people here are just condemning the sellers without taking a walk in the seller's shoes. Some are calling the seller CON ARTIST. Lol. Even the most legitimate business will tell you when you make a public inquiry on a social media page to DM for price. It is not a scam, it is not to defraud anybody, it is a STANDARD business operations procedure on the major social media platforms by all the big business. Even outside of social media, for certain products among legitimate service providers or sellers, they use the term CALL FOR PRICE or REQUEST A QUOTE. CNN won't display their advert rates on their pages. You have to call for price, or send an email to that effect. You can't compare that with a supermarket, a supermarket deals in basic retail for basic commodities. It is a different sales aspect. If you go to Coscharis website or any major car dealerships dealing on brand new products, you won't find price listed on their pages. You have to call for price or request for quote. Go to Innoson official website and tell me whether you will see price there. No! You have to call for price or request for quote , which is an equivalent to DM. Does it mean Innoson is a con artist, like some people are saying here? Or does mean Innoson is a scam that wants to swindle the public and sell a N2 for N300? No!
Scam or deceit etc is another aspect and it is not necessarily compulsorily dependent on DM for price. Noz that's not true. The people making this complaint have obviously never walked in the shoes of being a seller dealing with the public before through social media. There are several reasons sellers do it, I will list a few that I believe is general. DM for price or call for Price or Request a quote etc
1) to separate or filter serious buyers from unserious or window shopping buyers. Many sellers are faced with situations of having unserious buyers or time wasters knocking on your door. Maybe out of 20 coming by, only 2 are buying. That's not the problem. The problem is the resources, time, materials and manpower spent and wasted in attending to such people. Personally, you will see some buyer's making inquiries, they ask for everything as in every detail of the product, they ask for pictures, they ask for videos, they ask for review, they ask for price, location etc and THEY DISAPPEAR and walk away. That's ok if it was 1 or 2 people doing so, but when such practice is a norm among the buying public, then it's a problem to the seller for many valid reasons. So in the world of sellers, such Buyers window shoppers are called time wasters and you per seller industry, better ways had to be invented to curb this and filter the serious buyers from the unserious buyers. So to protect themselves timewasters, certain filters were introduced and DM for price is one of the filters sellers deploy. If a buyer feels bothered that a price isn't stated, so bothered and angry to the point that they stop themselves from making the inquiry by contacting the seller privately, trust me as a seller myself (and a buyer too), 90% of such people are timewasters. They don't have anything to buy in the first place. They just want to snoop around for fun or for whatever reason. It is unfair to sellers to waste their resources attending to such people. If call for price is a BIG Issue for you, most likely, price will be a big issue for you and probably don't have money to afford the product to begin with. Because, if you investigate closely, out of say every 10 people that DM the seller for price, after they are told the price, many still don't buy, maybe like only 2 for every 10 price inquiries will turn to sale, even when the price is actually very good and competitive. Why some or many buyers like and enjoy wasting seller's time and resources is a story for another day.

2) it allows the seller to keep track on sales potential. When people DM for price, it goes to show they have certain level of interest beyond the Zero interest. Every interest beyond zero interest has the potential to turn to a sale. It can go on to conclude the sale process or not, but it has a potential nonetheless. People that have zero interest or timewasters, many of them will be filtered out by the DM for price barrier or filter. That you are going the extra mile shows you have some level of interest, so a seller can actually make or compute a pattern out of that to track the sales potential performance of a particular product relative to other products he is selling. The seller can say that, Oh, for product A, 50 people made a price inquiry, but product B, 3 people made a price inquiry, so product A has more potential for sales than B. Because generally the bigger the inquiries, the bigger the sales potential.

3) It gives the seller the opportunity to convert an undecided buyer into a sale. Many buyers out there are undecided. They are confused, they are unsure, they are on the fence and need a little push to get them to buy or not buy. They are what we call "silent buyers", and just like in politics where they use the term "silent majority", youl will discover that many silent buyers are usually the majority as per potential customers. Most of them have interest, but that interest is neutral and sitting on the fence, they just require something extra to push their curiosity. And PRICE is a major something extra that provides that push. Their curiosity about what the price could be, pushing them to initiate a conversation with the seller. Otherwise, many of these silent buyers will just look and look and when that spark of initial curiosity that attracted them to your advert fades, they will just walk away. But by pushing their curiosity further to initiate a conversation with a seller, the seller has created an opportunity for himself to have a discussion that can possibly be the deciding factor that will push such silent buyers to make a purchase. By asking seller for price, he has the opportunity to talk to them about other things or it might just even be they way the seller responded and the buyer likes it and is like Oh, I think this seller is cool, let me buy, and the sale is concluded.

4) It is a basic way to limit scam. Yes you heard me, or do you want me to loud it for you? SCAMMMmmmmm . Many people or buyers think it's only buyers that get scammed, but no, sellers get scammed too. So how does price relate to this. IMPERSONATION. Many times, having all the information out there in public domain at once gives scammers a very easy access to wean all info they need without even making any contact with the seller. They just go to his page and copy everything and disappear without the seller even knowing. So sometimes, putting filters or barriers is one of the strategies sellers deploy to limit such opportunity of impersonation by scammers who pose as buyers. Whether this strategy is very effective or not, or how effective is it to combat scam is another topic.

These are some of the reasons

Please stop preaching heresy.
Are you normal? If you are gay, do your thing! But stop trying to justify it with the Bible.
Didn't the bible clearly warn that "do not sleep with mankind as you do with women"? Leviticus 18 vs 22.
Have you ever seen a male dog having sex with a male dog?
Even animals know better.

Don't allow the curse of God on you. Commit your sin and leave the bible alone.
