Only two girls in the romance section. But still not very sure if they're like that in real life.

KINGwax: this word has another hand inside...oro yi ni owo imi ninu

Lolz. Let no one blame the wife. she probably discovered that her husband is not a human. She might have also seen a shrine or some frozen human heads in her new husband house, who know.

Ymodulus: first time i wwill be agreeing with you.

Really? That is nice.

[quote author=Atheist:-D]I agree. The base instinct of religion is good. It has been abused by men to meet their selfish, greedy, carnal demands.[/quote]Exactly sir.

[quote author=Atheist:-D]Yes but what good is hope if you have to sacrifice too much to attain it. If the religion had few negative connotations and religious leaders were not enslaving ppl it might have been worthwhile.

Also hope can be negative too. Too much belief in hope and miracles can make ppl lethargic and this why some never question the status quo. Never question their pastors ripping them off, politicians ripping them off, foreign companies ripping them off etc.[/quote]Here I'm not talking about foolish hopes or hope of paying with your entire money to attain that common among some christians these days. I'm talking about the following hopes;

* hope that gives one's a feeling of self worth as a human.

* hope that gives one's a sense of belonging as a haman.

* hopes that gives peace of mind,eg love, humility and hapiness.

@op, actually you made some good points that I really admire. It's quite true that many christians of today Nigeria are intellectually lazy and therefore allows some dubious pastors to perpetuate their exploitation of the their congregation/followers.

But on a more serious note, religions give hope and peace of mind in every individual. For instance,we have many realists who are still attending churches,not because they're bounded to religion dogmatism but because of necessary peace of mind derived from it.

Another reason why Nigerians are too much obsessed with religions is POVERTY. Despite being lazy or without survival skills or jobs,some people still think that by going to church and pray like mad,their lives would suddenly change over night from poverty to richness.

I love religions because it gives one's hopes and peace of mind.

This is in no doubt a false statistic/percentage. So Somalia, Niger R, Chad,Mali,Equados,Cuba, Sudan are free of poliomyelitis decease?

Even in the notable northern part of Nigeria,the percentage from the recent has drastically reduced due to incessant giving of anti-poliomyelitis drug to the children.

@op, prophecies, prayer or advices? Does it look like prophecies to you?


Sigh!!!!

@Frosbel,thank for the elaboration.

415volt: Very simple
The body is made of dust molded in the image of God(does not necessarily mean God looks exactly like man).This body houses the soul which is the real YOU.The soul is being programmed by God(the creator) with mind and free will to do whatever it pleases .The spirit is Gods breath that makes the body alive to be able to carry the soul around and interpret what ever the soul instructs.When a man dies,it means the spirit is taken away from the body and it returns back to God.The body becomes dust and the concious soul moves out of the body and wait for judgment(giving account of all its activity on earth). The soul either goes to heaven or hell after judgement.

The above didn't gives a clear difference. Read Gen 2:7 and Gen 1:2 to know the clear differences.

Besides, is it your body that've returned to dust or your invisible soul that would go to heaven/hell?

Soul is breath from God and it goes back to God at the extermination/dead of the body.

Ymodulus: gbam u ave said it all.

anyything you dream is what u ave concieved in your mind

Sir, he didn't said it all. At times we dream about what we've never conceive in mind.

Billyonaire: Sometimes I wonder what is really you Christians problem. You ask an intelligent question and you give conditional statement as to where the answers should come from. DO you really think the Bible covers all aspects of life and esoteric topics like Soul and Spirit ? Let me know if you need the true answers or you wanna stay within the confines of Bible which contains little more than nothing about truth.

Yes Billyonaire, the topic is quite esoteric by nature but since the op insisted we used bible references to back up our claims,we don't have any option but to comply.

@op, I think you should re-direct your prefer source of expected answers so that we have more scientific explanation and contributions.

truthislight: the concept of dream can be :

1. Stored info in our mind being relayed due to our unconsciouse/consciouse imaginations based on our concerns and fears.

2. Infusions of information from spirit forces into our minds.

The mind is part of the brain, having to do with our stored experiences and knowledge.

This ^^^ directly determined our likely cause of actions in life.

If spirits infused info into your mind that is what you may play out by action

You try but that's not good enough to get you more that 40% marks. To understand the concept of dream, one need some scientific facts to back it up.

truthislight: the breath from hebrew "ruach" or from greek "pneuma" or spirit is from God.

The breath/force that sustain the life/soul is from God.

The same breath sustain animal and man.

The spirit of God is use for many other things that God does.

This animating force/spirit belongs to Yahweh.

The spirit of Yahweh does whatever Yahweh wants it to do.

That force belong to God and as such it is said that it goes back to its owner God.
It goes back to God in that the hope of life of that person ever again can only be determined by the giver of the spirit, God.

Exactly what I was trying to say. That's the meaning of 'independent' I was saying.

I had my first kiss when I was in SS 2.it was on saturday after the weekend lesson organised by some teachers then. We went to a silent corner behind the school lab with the hope to solved together the mathematics assignment giving to us. On getting there, we started doing something funny and started kissing,squeezing her breast. In less than 3munites into the act,my boxer was soaked with s*pam. Soooo sweet!

@op, since you're not a male, you cannot know how the men feel when they meet a lady they really love especially beautiful one. It's natural my dear.

Men are not to be blame but those women that often demanded materials things with the aim of paying back by sex.

Let them continue fighting over notting. Except GEJ deliver before 2015, Nigerians are ready to vote them out.

pastormustwacc: Very interesting. Maybe we should bring in soul travel, because some claim the soul can travel outside the body, or is it the spirit now? And what happens when we dream - is it that our soul travel or we just immagine things?
For people in occult, when they go for meetings, is it their soul or spirit that travel? I don confuse even, bows out. . .

That was why I asked "Ymodulus" some few questions about dream, but he run. I'm still waiting for him anyway.

Truthislight and Reyginus who later refused to accept the immortality of soul should also come out to explain the concept of dream.

Note; please, my own immortality of soul does not tantamount to rising of dead in the heaven or hell.

@truthislight, did you even read my previous posts at all? I gave two different bible verses (Gen 2:7 and Gen 1:2) respectively to back my assumption.

Like I said earlier, what we're saying here is just an assumption. Nobody,not even Socrates,Plato,Aristotle,St Augustine or Hegel can give right answers to the question of soul and the spirit.

I'm happy you agree with me that SPIRIT is forces while the SOUL is life. Besides, the bible verse you gave does not invalidate the immortality of the soul. If I may ask according to your referred bible verse, where does his breath goes to?

Kamanda: You don't need a revolution.Shun tribalism,Religious and Ethnic sentiments.

These are not really the solution to our problem. Have you forgot the power of elites? In my own view, Nigeria need to re-structure her political institutions. Nigeria is not a country but the composition of different nations. I think nigeria should go back to regionalism.

@op, Nigerians are not fools but gullible.

@Ymodulus, why jump into conclusion that I was strong? Get your fact right,no one on earth can give precise answer to what poster was asking.

Back to your subsequent posts. What you were trying to say is that, the soul actually died and cannot live independent of the body.

Gen 2:7. And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth,breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

This shows that soul is external and therefore exist independent of the body.

Spirit is universal causation and it's upon it that everything exist were based.

Gen 1:2. And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the SPIRIT of God was moving on the face of the waters.

This also shows that spirit is external forces and totally different from the soul.

Besides, will you please explain the concept of dream? That's, what is dream? why do we dream? What do we call our reflection in the dream? What actually cause the dream?

@op, may God bless you for starting this thread. I've learned my lesson looooong time ago,show Nigeria girls what's called love and see yourself being taking for fool.

SOUL and SPIRIT are not the same.

Soul is an invisible equipment that enable humans and other living creatures to function. Without the soul,the body cannot function. Unlike spirit, every individual possessed the soul and the extermination of the soul resulted to death of the physical existence. Soul is life and could be exist independence of the body. Our soul is our ideal world which is partly remain with us when sleeping and finally goes off at death.

Spirit is external forces,guiding or influence our existence. Unlike soul, spirit manifested or working in many forms/ways. Emotions, Love, sorrow,anger, phobia etc are all spirit. Spirit is universal causation.

I may be wrong though.

What for? Marry someone who will never have time for me and our children. Seeing my wife kissing and finger by Emeka Ike.

k2039: You see, that's what I'm saying, you noticed me and that makes me a celebrity Stardom is good.

On the job issue, it's due to the state of the nation.

But honestly,you got some talents and i believe with focus,you will surely reach that greater high in the nearest future.
