CultureRe: African Hair Was Not Designed For The Comb by DeSepiero(m): 6:57pm On Feb 11, 2019
YAHREIGNS:
I seriously doubt we should be combing our natural hair.

What happens with frequently combing natural African hair (this is not for the mixed races and racially ambiguous Africans undecided)

- Breakage
_ Thinning
_ Dwindling edges
- Dryness
- Expenses

I am buying a wig just to minimise my natural hair destruction by this civilization. And to look "official" for my boss
embarassed

We need to rethink this combing hair thing angry

(Just using my hands to disentangle and moisten minimizes the destruction)
Correct.
The African hair doesn't need relaxer too, because that's what necessitates the frequent combing.

Really you guys should try to get the story straight!

Christians believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that one snake spoke. We believe that one donkey spoke. But we believe in Jesus Christ.

But making up stories is something you lot can't help. You need to fill the void you create by rejecting the Truth so you make believe all sorts of things to try to prevent your insanity from consuming you completely.
Yes. You, NOT atheists, believe in Jesus Christ, along with a compendium of other ridiculous stories found in your book (bible).
While you're so attached to fiction (e.g talking snake / donkey), atheists are concerned with reality.

Okay. I hear you. Atheists obviously have a thing for made-up stories like the one you're telling here too.
...says the theist who believes in talking snakes and donkeys.

Ihedinobi3:
You just said what it is. What was I answering before? The Bible testifies that Jesus Christ a Man from Nazareth in Israel was really God Who came in a human body to die for human sins so that we won't need to face God's Condemnation when we die.

What other evidence do you want? You want Him diced and sliced up in a lab before you believe it?
Just like Anubis and ancient Egyptian religion, in due time, Jesus and Christianity will be widely accepted as myths and folklore.
Marvel may even add his character to the 'avengers' along side with Thor and co.

PoliticsRe: Opinion:Nnamdi Kanu Is Right;Atiku’s Adamawa Was In Northern Cameroon- The Cable by DeSepiero(m): 7:45am On Feb 04, 2019
jlinkd78:
Your hate for Kanu has made u call him several derogatory names but u ended up agreeing with him that the Cameroon original nativity of Atiku has some merit. Nnamdi Kanu with this revelation has once proven wrong his enemies and confirmed he is truly a scholar of contemporary history. While I as a person prefers Atiku over Buhari and would wish him to win in d forthcoming elections, it must be emphasized that people should give Kanu d respect he deserves for furnishing us with information that appears hidden.
So Kanu deserves respect because he dug up some history that favors his dubious propaganda?

Let me first say that this is going to be a work in public. The thread title might change, even this very post may be continously revised. The beauty is the version you quote will be uniquely stamped with your name on it, hint!

Saturday, I bought the book in the first picture. I already got one, but found this in a charity shop for £3 and couldn't resist and started reading the introduction when I got it home. it excludes 1 and 2 Esdras (3 and 4) and the Prayer of Manasseh, which irked me, so I went looking and found the book in the third picture. It was recommended to Dylan by the Door to door salesman. Dylan read it in January 2009 and said this:

"This book was terrible. The characters are two dimensional, the plot is all over the place and the author can't keep his story straight. Then halfway through they just introduce a new protagonist out of nowhere who dies within 4 chapters and they spend the rest of the book trying to work out what his deal was.

Genesis and Numbers are a huge yawn fest, I'm not even sure what the lengthy genealogies and census information had to do with the fisherman because everybody dies in the end anyway.

This book is huge. Oh my god, it's soo long. I thought Lord of the Rings was big. The only consolation is that it's so big and heavy my wife sometimes uses it to press flowers, which is fine by me because I wouldn't lend this book to anyone.

Christianity EtcRe: Is God Really Omniscient?? by DeSepiero(m): 7:55pm On Jan 18, 2019
The nature of the biblical God contradicts itself. Putting all its exploits into consideration, it's difficult to attribute benevolence, omniscience and omnipotence to it.
Christianity EtcRe: Your Opinion Is Needed. by DeSepiero(m): 7:50pm On Jan 18, 2019
Ihedinobi3:
Okay, "wilful obtuseness" is your go-to defense here. Noted.

My point is that you change words without quite answering the question.

If our component parts deteriorate and thus die, then you only mean that it is because we are dying that we die. Deteriorate only means to decline in quality. If our component parts are declining in quality, we are dying. So, it is no answer to why we die. That question, in the sense that the OP appears to me to ask it, is asking something more fundamental. That is, why do our component parts deteriorate at all so that we die?

That is what you failed to answer.

In short, would death be possible if our component parts did not deteriorate at all? The very definition of death is, after all, as you so eloquently put it, "maximum deterioration".
What's your own answer?

Yes..it's quite easy.
Answer: I won't find "Anubis"...a mythical character.
I will already have been judged..
I will find Jesus..my Lord and Savior.
Well, that answer is not applicable and eventually wrong in this context.
Nobody asked you if you'll see Anubis or Jesus.
So I'll blame your English or your dogma or both. Say no more.

Mobilia:
Sir, you asked a question.
My apologies that you didn't truly want an honest answer.
Hypothetically, still means a "what if", and in this case, I was saying that it "hypothetically" would not be true.
By the way, I am a woman....
Be blessed
It's this easy:

After death, what if you don't find Jesus but instead you find Anubis waiting to judge you?

Actually, cats have superior sense of hearing to humans and even dogs. So maybe the cat heard some high pitched stuff which the op didn't hear.

Good for you bro. It works for me. It works for others that have called me with their testimonies. It doesn’t work for you because you believe it is fake. Like I said before, faith is a choice, it can’t be forced on anyone. All the best, and have a wonderful year ahead!
Don't bring me in the picture. You have no idea what works for me. I was talking about those faithful Christians dying everyday in hospitals from diseases and health complications despite their prayers for healing. Here you are talking about testimonies.
Christianity EtcRe: I Challenge Pastordavidawuj To Answer My Questions On His Claims by DeSepiero(m): 9:05am On Jan 01, 2019
PastorDavidAwuj:
You can never benefit from what you don’t believe in. I teach what the Bible teaches and it works for anyone that believes. And I thank God that many have been calling to share their testimonies.

If you say divine healing is fake, then I can easily see why you cannot benefit from it and that leaves no more argument with you. Faith is a choice not a gift/by force.

Happy new year again!
It doesn't work for everyone that believes. Every Christian that has died of chronic diseases believed in the healing power of God. They died in their belief.
