Is the car insured?

Now I understand why muslim men insist that women should wear black bin bags. It is because they are like dogs with no self control over their sexual perversion.

Would it be wrong of them to at least mention the fertility treatment that they received?

Good question.
I don't understand how growing rich off charity can offer any satisfaction

One word explains why people of the same mindset as the op feel blessed when they give their meagre all to fund their pastor's lordly life style, and it is called idolatory.

As a god, their pastor is not expected to look like them, or be concerned with the same mundane issues (such as food, shelter, clothing and health) they are forced to grapple with everyday. Their man of god should be above it all, awesome and seperate from them.
It is his awesomeness that gives them hope that perhaps someday, if they are lucky, one of his many blessinngs and prophecy might take hold in their lives and open the door for them to have a little share of their god's kingdom.

Phew. Where are my deeper life/redeem/salvation ministry/christ embassy//chosen brothers? Forsaken not a brother in despair.:/

They are in the church you felloship with, go to them for the help you need. Out here you we are all strangers to each other.

johnydon22:
Yes i used the word "Believe" because am not sure just my own speculation of what he might mean..

He should be able to clear us well on that

I thought my explanation was pretty clear, didn't realise that it left so much room for doubt as to how a sudden decceleration or acceleration of the earth would be bad for it.
The effect of a force is unchanged . Whether you are brought to a stand still in an instant from a speed of 250km/ hr by a concrete wall or an invisible hand, the effect on you and your car will remain the same.

Reyginus:
You believe? Okay. Let me wait for him to say so. Sudden halt? Collide? Shatter ? Okay.

I said the effect of sudden acceleration or decceleration of that magnitude is like being hot by a high speed train or crating into a concrete barrier at high speed.
I used the simile like. I never said that anything was crashing into earth.

Reyginus:
That means my question is not out of order. You wrote about a collision and shattering by higher force. My question still is, where is the collision force in your definition of tidal locking? I don't know if you get me now.

I honestly don't know if you are serious or trolling, either way I can't help you to see more than I have tried.

Reyginus:
Tidally locked to a star? Does it occur to only STARS or by STARS you mean every bright sphere? That's an aside. Tell me what is Tidal Locking then.

I explained tidal locking in this post.

dorox:
A Planet is said to be tidally locked to its parent star if the amount of time it takes for it to make a full rotation on it's axis is exactly equal to the time it takes to revolve around the star.
The earth revolves around the sun in 365.25 days and rotates on it's axis in one day. So to be tidally locked to the sun, the earth would either slow its axial rotation such that a day becomes 365.25 days, or increase its orbital speed such that a year becomes one day. And either of this would require the application of tremendous force.

An object can only be tidally locked to the body it orbits, which in the case of the earth that body is the sun.
The earth does no orbit the stars, so it cannot be tidally locked to any of them.

Reyginus:
I don't understand your analogy. In rotating on axis to align with the rotation of whatever of the other planetary body, how does collision force come into?

I think the problem you are having is that you do not fully understand what it means for a planet in orbit to be tidally locked to the star it is orbiting.

Reyginus:
Exactly. My question is, how would this result in these cataclysmic effects like earthwake and the rest?

As mentioned before, either of the two conditions necessary for the earth to be tidally locked to the sun requires a tremendous increase in the orbital speed or a remarkable decrease in the axial speed of rotation.

The first is like being hit from a stationary position by a high speed train, while the second is like ramming your car into a concrete wall at 250km/hr.
The same way you will use to explain how bad it will be for the car and its occupant in either case is how you can explain the cataclysm that will befall the earth should it be subjected to a force of such magnitude.

Reyginus:
In simple terms, it's a situation whereby a planetary body maintains a similar posture as a result of forces acting between it and another planetary body. Gravitational.

A Planet is said to be tidally locked to its parent star if the amount of time it takes for it to make a full rotation on it's axis is exactly equal to the time it takes to revolve around the star.
The earth revolves around the sun in 365.25 days and rotates on it's axis in one day. So to be tidally locked to the sun, the earth would either slow its axial rotation such that a day becomes 365.25 days, or increase its orbital speed such that a year becomes one day. And either of this would require the application of tremendous force.

Reyginus:
I mean do we really need a pushing force. A force that splits and shatters. What's wrong with a force that draws atoms closer resulting in a tidal locking?

Can you tell me what you mean by tidal locking? I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same thing.

Reyginus:
Why do you think a repelling force and not an attractive force is possible?

I did not get your question

Reyginus:
I was simply prescribing another option that may open the room for the effects we'd get if earth is stooped. Let me explain.

You are of the opinion that that which may stop the earth's rotation is a collision with higher energy capable of breaking apart the fragile earth. I'm simply asking if necessarily we need any higher force stronger than the earth if already we know that tidal locking will do it without splitting the earth's materials? Do you get me now?

For the earth to become tidally locked to the sun, its period of revolution will have to decrease from 365.25 days to 24 hours. I have not done the maths yet, but it is safe to say that the force that would be required to accelerate the earth to achieve that kind of orbital velocity in such a such time will completely shatter the earth into smithereens.

Reyginus:
What about tidal locking as a result of forces, gravitational pull, between a star and the earth?

I don't fully understand your question, but if you are asking about the gravitational force exacted on the earth by any celestial body other than the sun and moon, then it is so insignificant that it is safe to ignor.

Reyginus:
Of course I know. I mean how? How will the things happen?

Stopping the earth from rotating would require a tremendous amount of force to overcome the earths kinetic energy. The problem is is that the materials that the earth is made of cannot withstand that kind of force before ripping apart down to its core.

Reyginus:
Cataclysmic events? How? Explain the above.

I listed some of the events that would result from a sudden decceleration of the earth's angular velocity in the second paragraph of the post you quoted.

In a civilised country he would have been made to pay a fine and his licence endorsed with some penalty points for his irresponsible action. But this is naija, he wi go for thanks giving service and we shall all help him to thank god that they only suffered a few bruises.

After all said and done,a private owned refinery is a nice way to go for the FG. But I still have my reservations due to the fact that being a private business, the refinery will be looking to make profit,so where does that leave the masses. We will still buy fuel at high rate. And Dangote we all know being a capitalist that he is will not bring the price down,instead he'll be looking to monopolize the oil sector like he did to the cement sector,then we'll practically start feeding out of his hands.And who's that dude talking about him being on the Top 10 in Forbes list,he's going to be number 1 in the world in the next 10 years or so!

Some people had a similar reservation with regards to allowing private participation in the telecoms sector. They argued that telecoms services will be out of the reach of the common man (as if the rich man talkless of common man had phones) if government refuse to come to the aid of Nitel.
Today Nitel is dead, and virtually every body have phones.

It is the same thing I see happening to NNPC refinery arm, it won't be able to compete and government would have no more need nor the desire to keep it from going under when the nation is no longer reliant on it for products .

dorox,
Which of these wishes will materialize?

The first has already happened to me, and trust me when I tell you that it is a thing of beauty that every human should hope to experience.
What she sees as a calamity in the second is just the effect of her brothers detachment from the family. You see, you becoma man when you no longer belong to a family, but have a family of your own.

yakflowz:
Lol, He is not even married to her and he is already packing his properties to her shop Love indeed....i pray you fall in love the way he did

People have risked their lives for the person they love and here you are talking about property.

Your brother is not jazzed, he is just madly in love with the young woman. If anything, you should be happy for him.

johnydon22:
Oh yes you said it but it still doesn't change the fact that it had mundane effects.

supernatural event that made the natural earth (sun) stand still for natural men who are engaging in a mundane activity of warfare

It still doesn't change the fact that our earth stopped rotating on it's axis.. whether you paint it supernatural in order to make yourself feel good believing it still won't change the effects such phenomenon would have if it ever happened.

I am in agreement with you that if the earth had stopped rotating on its axis as implied by some people understanding of that text, it would have resulted in a series of cataclysmic events that the earth might not have survived.

The earthquakes would have been so powerful that mountains would have seized to exist in an instant and red hot molten magma from the earths core would have forced its way out in a super massive pyrotechnic display of volcanic eruptions. All the oceans would have poured out their contents in an instant, creating a tsunami that would have encycled the globe.

However, there are other ways to make the sun appear to stay in one place without having to stop the earths axial rotation. One simple method is by using reflectors to illuminate Joshua's position with sun light from outer space.

The fasting and prayer that was done the previous year was of no benefit to the country, yet you want more people to continue this idiocy. How will people pull themselves out of the quagmire they are in today if they voluntary starve their brain cells of the needed fuel to think their way of their problems?
Oh.... I forgot. They are not supposed to think, that way it the G.O find it easier taking their money than stealing sweet from a baby.

Best teaching on tithe that I have seen so far. In nine short simple lines you were able to explain what takes my pastor hours of 'sermonisation' to explain.Think of the wasted hours that could be saved for productive activities if pastors should nail this your brilliant teaching to the entrance of their church for all to see.

jolamos01:
Thanks Gbemmie

What is the pin for, and how much is it?

haywhy911:
Well,have your say...

The illustration is wrong, it will be more correct if the roles are reversed. I don't know of other parts of the world but in the west the media is always protecting islamic beliefs and practices from criticism while attacking anyone they brand as islamophobic.
It is islam that is figuratively and literally attacking western press and value. They are ever so quick to declare fatwah on members of the media with actual death sentence carried out in some cases.

haywhy911:
interesting.. So what have I been doing since? Haven't I been condemning those acts. Like it or not,ISIS and the rest are unislamic sects......because they go against basic teachings of Islam...

As for the 911,lol,things are way too trivial and narrow for you..... 911 is also an emergency helpline... People say I'm an emergency guy . That's the inspiration behind the 911.

Quite true that every now and then you hear muslims condemning islamic inspired acts of terrorism, but what I find lacking is the passion, and anger and hurt that is so easily expressed when it is something like a cartoon they are condemning.
If action speaks louder than voice, then you can see how absurd it is that in the same week when over two hundred girls were kidnapped by boko haram in the name of islam and when hundreds of girls were raped and sold into slavery by the so called Islamic state, muslims all over the world chose to protest a shoddy satire video of Mohammed.

haywhy911:
bro,I don't think you've got a point. I mean,how does it rhyme with what we're discussing... Besides,there should be COINCIDENCE in ur dictionary.

The fact that you can't see my point is exactly the problem I am talking about. Perhaps a little illustration will help.
Imagine that your father is a king with so many children that it is impossible for you to know all of them. Would you and your real brothers be more angry if a total stranger should say something silly about your father or if someone who claims to be your brother does some despicable things in your fathers name?

Mislims rightly do not protest the barbaric punishment done under Sharia law because it is very islamic. They protested the Danish cartoon and the Mohammed video because it is unislamic. The celeberated the downing of the World Trade Centre becaus it was seen as a victory for the Mujahadeen. They stayed silent when ISIS raped and sold Yazidi girls into slavery because those actions can be justified from the Hadith.

Until muslims start getting visibly angry and embarrassed when atrocities are committed in the name of their religion by people who share their faith instead of getting worked up over cartoons, it will be impossible for them claim that muslims do not at least have some sympathy for the jihadist.
Even your handle has 911, does it have something to do with the 911 event?

haywhy911:
bro,do you understand that cartoon....? When did ISIS et al become ISLAMIC organizations? Maybe I am a lunatic,but you are worse. Sorry

Let us for the sake of this discussion agree that ISIS et al are not islimic organisation ( though they certainly are). Don't you think it is absurd that on the same week that over two hundred girls were kidnapped by boko haram and hundreds of Yazidi girls in Syria were raped in the name of Islam and its prophet that muslims in their millions came out to protest a shoddy movie of Mohammad?

analice107:
What's your point? Should the pastor send them away from the church? Have you not heard that the church is a house of God? Is the pastor God?

What do you think a pastor should do if an armed robber should come to his church for deliverance?
