Nairaland GeneralThe Reason Why True Christains Reject Christmas Celebration by Emmyginger(op):
MILLIONS worldwide are
getting ready to enjoy the 2014

Christmas season. Perhaps you
are among them. On the other
hand, it may not be your custom
to share in the religious aspects of this popular celebration.
Either way, you are not likely to
escape the influence of
Christmas. It permeates the
worlds of commerce and
entertainment, even in non- Christian lands.
What do you know about
Christmas? Is the celebration of
Christ’s birth supported in the
Bible? What is behind this
popular celebration held every December 25th?
Christmas Banned
If you take a few moments to
research this subject, you will
find that
Christmas has no roots in true Christianity. Many Bible
scholars of various religious
denominations acknowledge
this. With that in mind, it should
not surprise you that in England,
Cromwell’s Parliament decreed in 1647 that Christmas be a day
of penance and then banned it
outright in 1652. Parliament
purposely met on December 25
every year from 1644 to 1656.
According to historian Penne L. Restad, “ministers who
preached on the Nativity risked
imprisonment. Churchwardens
faced fines for decorating their
churches. By law, shops stayed
open on Christmas as if it were
any regular business day.” Why
such drastic measures? Puritan
reformers believed that the
church should not create
traditions that did not exist in the Scriptures. They actively
preached and distributed
literature denouncing
Christmas
celebrations. Was Jesus Born on
December 25? The custom: According to
tradition, Jesus’ birth took place
on December 25 and is
celebrated on that date.

Christmas,” says the Encyclopedia of Religion, means
“‘Christ’s Mass,’ that is, the mass
celebrating the feast of Christ’s
nativity,” or birth.
Its roots: “The establishment
of December 25 evolved not from biblical precedent,” says
The
Christmas Encyclopedia,
“but from pagan Roman
festivals held at year’s end,”
about the time of the winter solstice in the Northern
Hemisphere. Those festivals
included the Saturnalia, in honor
of Saturn, god of agriculture,
“and the combined festivals of
two sun gods, the Roman Sol and the Persian Mithra,” says the
same encyclopedia. Both
birthdays were celebrated on
December 25, the winter solstice
according to the Julian calendar.
Those pagan festivals began to be “Christianized” in the year
350, when Pope Julius I
declared December 25 to be
Christ’s birthday. “The Nativity
gradually absorbed or
supplanted all other solstice rites,” says the Encyclopedia of
Religion. “Solar imagery came
increasingly to be used to
portray the risen Christ (who
was also called Sol Invictus), and
the old solar disk . . . became the halo of Christian saints.”
What the Bible says: The
Bible does not give Jesus’ birth
date. But we can safely conclude
that he was not born on
December 25. How so? The Bible tells us that when Jesus was
born, shepherds were “living
out of doors” tending their
flocks at night in the vicinity of
Bethlehem. (
Luke 2:cool The cold, rainy season usually began in
October, and shepherds—
especially in the colder
highlands, such as those around
Bethlehem—brought their
sheep into protected shelters at night. The coldest weather,
sometimes accompanied by
snow, occurred in December, .
*
Significantly, the early
Christians, many of whom had accompanied Jesus in his
ministry, never celebrated his
birth on any date. Rather, in
harmony with his command,
they commemorated only his
death. (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians
11:23-26
) Still, some may say,
‘Does the pagan connection
really matter?’ The answer? It
does to God. “The true worshipers will worship the
Father with spirit and truth,”
said Jesus Christ.—
John 4:23. A Counterfeit!
When examined in the light of
the Bible, virtually every facet of Christmas is either pagan in
origin or a distortion of the
Bible accounts. Hence,
Christmas customs are Christian
in name only. How did this come
about? Centuries after the death of Christ, many false teachers
arose, just as the Bible had
foretold. (
2 Timothy 4:3, 4)
Those unprincipled men were
more interested in making Christianity fashionable to the
pagan masses than they were in
teaching truth. Hence, they
gradually adopted popular
pagan religious festivals and
labeled them “Christian.” Such “false teachers,” the
Bible warned, “will exploit you
with counterfeit words. But as
for them, the judgment from of
old is not moving slowly, and
the destruction of them is not slumbering.” (
2 Peter 2:1-3)
Jehovah’s Witnesses take those
words seriously—as they do the
entire Bible, which they view as
the written Word of God. (
2 Timothy 3:16) Hence, they
reject false religious customs or
celebrations. so if your church celebrates
christmas please think twice about that, and
do what the bible says Rev. 18:4 "GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE, IF YOU
DO NOT WANT TO SHARE WITH
HER IN HER SINS..." GOD will soon
destroy all false religions, this is the time
to stand for true worship
Nairaland GeneralSix Bizzare Facts About Saliva You Dont Know by Emmyginger(op): 3:06pm On Nov 05, 2014
1. You have six salivary
glands.
Not one, not two, but six glands in your
head that produce nearly two liters of
saliva every day. Your sublingual,
submaxillary, and parotid glands work
together to keep your mouth and throat
from turning to dust. No, seriously, have you ever seen a dried-out mucous membrane? It's like watching The Mummy all over again.

2. Saliva is 99% water.
Actually, saliva is around 99.5% water,
which is why it's so important for you
to stay hydrated. In addition to water,
enzymes and "buffers" (things that
maintain a balanced pH level) help keep
the status quo in the oral cavity.

3. Without saliva, you couldn't taste.
If you've ever had a case of dry mouth,
you'd have noticed that you weren't able
to taste things very well. A dry tongue
actually can't taste a thing! Chemicals
in food need to dissolve in saliva for
the taste buds in your tongue to detect them, and saliva constantly keeps the
receptors nice and wet.

4. Saliva acts as a warning before you vomit.
Talk about your gross headers, but there
you have it. Ever notice that your mouth
fills with saliva before you're about to
vom? It happens because your body is
trying to digest whatever is ailing it,
and since digestion begins in the mouth your salivation mechanism is revved up. Here's a helpful trick: if you ever get
that feelingand your mouth begins to
fill, don't swallow your saliva. That
actually triggers vomiting. Spit it out
and, chances are, you won't need a bucket.

5. Sometimes the sublingual
glands turn you into a human fountain.
Don't even ask. But sometimes if you
yawn, you'll briefly become a human
fountain when a small stream of saliva
erupts from under your tongue. This is
due to the contraction of a muscle that pushes against the sublingual glands,
which sends the saliva shooting out—
sometimes at great distances!

6. Saliva has healing
properties—so long as the
thing being healed is in your
mouth. When a dog gets hurt, what's the first
thing it does? It licks its wound. To
some degree, the same thing happens
with humans. Ever notice that a wound
in your mouth heals exponentially
faster than a wound anywhere else in the body and never leaves behind a scar?
This is because your saliva
contains immune cells, antimicrobial and
antifungal proteins, and growth
factors that promote wound healing. However, that only goes for wounds in
the mouth. In addition to all those
healing factors, your saliva is also
chock-full of bacteria, which could
infect a wound on your skin.

Nairaland GeneralNigerian Men Always Rush To Have Sex by Emmyginger(op): 7:13pm On Sep 04, 2014
The Nigerian man is always in a rush
when it comes to sex. They rush into it
and quickly rush out once they “come”.
Every driver that wants an accident-free
trip must drive safely, know his road
signs, have good driving skills and be a good observer. This is also true with sex because marital
sex is a journey and not to be done in a
rush. Those who want to succeed in
marriage give their sex life a lot of
attention and sex is what makes it
different and wonderful. So, for no reason must a spouse “beg” or “plead” for
sex from her partner. Rather, good sex
should be given mutually at all times”. On why she thinks Nigerian man rush
into and out of sex Even though a penis is controlled by the
nervous system, it still has a mind of its
own. Every woman loves pre-intimacy but
the African man has not much time for
those sweet touching of a woman’s body
or genital before sex, they see it as a waste of time. If men tend to rush
through pre-intimacy, if at all they want to
do it, they do it mildly and hurriedly. This is because they are ever ready the
moment they have an erection. Delaying
intercourse when they have an erection and
a willing woman nearby? That sounds
idiotic to them because they see it as a
waste of their precious time. A true Nigerian woman is not frigid. It is the
way and manner a Nigerian man, lets say
a black man, gives sex to her that makes a
black woman frigid. A Nigerian man goes out from his own
point of need and not from the woman’s
point of need. They rush into the
woman’s private part and rush out. They
see the woman as an object to release into.
They don’t care whether she has an orgasm. All they are after is about
themselves. They fail to realize that she
has her sexual Libido which should be
touched or aroused before dipping their
manhood into her. But we let them know
that they should never rush the woman. A man should ask a woman to give him
different styles and positions during
sex. She should be free to ask for sex
whenever she feels the urge. Our men should allow the women to have
sex the way they enjoy doing it too. It
shouldn’t be just the Adam and Eve style
where the man commands her to open and
raise her legs and all of a sudden he
rushes inside immediately. This means she has just been legally raped. Ask a
woman what she wants in bed or during
sex, she will tell you she wants to be
romanced, touched, kissed, she wants to
be friendly. She wants to be bounced with her partner
first and this will really make her come
easily and sweetly. She will never be
frigid if the man presses the right
buttons in her because sex to a woman is
emotion and she can trade sex for affections because he wants sex. The
moment she gets affection from her
man, she will be able to open up well for
her man to come inside her. So a woman you can easily go into her
heart is a woman you can easily get into
her legs. Before sex, a woman will want
the man to start with talk even if the
talk is not relevant but she just needs
your attention. She will want to be touched all over but not immediately at
the main point of her body so that so it
does not appear like you are only
interested in getting in-between her legs. Give her the attention, get bonded, get
connected first because she wants to feel
you.
So sex to a man is a show of love he
derives during sex or after the sex while
that of a woman is a show of emotion
she gets before sex. So if you don’t understand what a woman really needs in
sex, she will tighten her legs and lie
down like a log or dead body lying in
state because she is not feeling the man
emotionally”
Nairaland GeneralHow To Get Rid Of Pimples Naturally by Emmyginger(op): 6:56pm On Sep 04, 2014
Pimples are a normal skin condition
which affects many people. Pimples are
an inflammation of the skin in which
the sebaceous glands (oil glands) become
infected with bacteria, swell up, and
fill with pus. Pimples generally occur on the face,
neck, back and shoulders and though it is
not a critical condition, it can make a
person feel miserable due to their
appearance. There are various ways and methods to
get rid of pimples, some are natural
while others toxic (use of chemical and
medicine). The natural methods are safe
and not dangerous for the skin and are
the best and fastest way to get rid of acne. Also, there are some foods that must be
avoided for removing acne. These foods
are milk, chocolates, sweets, desserts,
cakes, fat and oil. You need to eat
vitamins and minerals rich foods to get
rid of acne. Below are natural methods of getting
rid of pimples within a very short
period. 1. Lemon Juice By applying lemon fresh juice to your
skin you can easily get rid of acne
overnight. Take 1 lemon and squeeze it in
a bowl. Dip a clean cotton swab in fresh
lemon juice and apply it to the pimples
before going to bed. In morning, wash your face with lukewarm water. 2. Orange Peel Rub the orange peel on the pimple for
2-3 minutes and leave it overnight. Wash
the face gently in the morning. 3. Aloe Vera Aloe Vera leaf will also help you in
removing acne. Take an aloe Vera leaf
(gel) and wash it with fresh water then
apply it to acne and rub it slowly like 5
minutes. Not only is the aloe soothing, it
works as an anti-inflammatory, decreasing redness and swelling. It also
has antibacterial properties.4. Applying Egg White The egg white can remove the acne
overnight. Take an egg separate the yolk
of egg and take the white of egg and
apply to the acne before going to bed
until tomorrow. In morning, wash the
face with water and you can see that your acne become dry. 5. Honey Honey is the best thing for acne. It kills
skin bacteria. Dip a clean cotton swab in
honey, put it directly on the affected
area and leave it on for half an hour.
Wash the skin well with lukewarm
water. 6. Cucumber Cucumber is a rich source of potassium
and vitamins such as A, C and E. It also
has a cooling and soothing effect on the
skin. Cut one or two fresh cucumbers into
pieces and soak them in water for about
an hour. The nutrients, such as vitamin A, potassium and chlorophyll will transfer
to the water. Strain the water and drink
it, or use the water to wash your face. You can also make a face mask by
grinding one cucumber. Apply the mask
on your face and allow it to dry for 15
minutes. Wash your skin with warm
water. 7. Banana peel Banana peels contain something called
lutein, an extremely powerful
antioxidant that reduces swelling and
inflammation, and encourages healthy
cell growth. Take the banana peel and
rub in a circular motion all over your face. When you feel as though you’ve
covered all of your face, let it sit for at
least 30 minutes before rinsing it off. 8. Garlic Garlic is an antiviral, antifungal,
antiseptic and antioxidant agent that can
help in the fast treatment of pimples.
The sulfur in garlic also promotes quick
healing of pimples. Cut a fresh garlic
clove into two pieces. Rub the garlic on the pimples and leave it for five
minutes before washing the skin with
lukewarm water. Repeat the treatment
several times a day. 9. Baking Soda It is the most powerful method to get
rid of pimple overnight. Baking soda is
a good option for all, but especially
those with sensitive skin because it will
not cause any kind of skin irritation.
Make a thick paste by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with some water
or lemon juice. Apply the paste on the
affected areas and allow it to dry for a
few minutes. Wash your face with warm
water and apply a moisturizer. Repeat
the process twice a day for quick results. 10. Steam Steaming is wonderful for your skin at
any time, but particularly when you have
pimples. The steam will open your pores
and allow your skin to breathe. This
helps get rid of oils, dirt and bacteria
trapped in the pores that can cause infection or inflammation. Fill a large container with hot water and
allow the steam to come in contact with
your face for a few minutes. Rinse your
face with lukewarm water and, after
drying, apply an oil-free moisturizer.
Lastly, don’t touch your face (more
specifically, your breakouts)
This means don’t itch, scratch, pick, peel,
pop, or rub at your skin. It will help the
healing process go smoother and more
efficiently.
