Nairaland GeneralYour Shoe Size Can Tell Your Age. Try This ! by Emylexray(op): 6:15pm On Feb 04, 2013
This is amazing! Please try it. Your shoe size can tell your age. Grab a calculator and try these steps:


1. Take your shoe size.

2. Multiply it by 5

3. Add 50

4. Multiply it by 20

5. Add 1013

6. Minus the year you were born. You will get four (4) digits, the first two (2) is your shoe size while the other two (2) digits is your age.


Let me know if it's correct.

mscheeeew!! (* Shuts down system*).
true yarn my brother. If not for the drastic decline in our football, who are the elephants of ivorycoast when the eagles are flying? We are incommeasurable to any african country back then when it comes to the round leather game. Ordinary Ethiopia we managed to beat via two penalties in our final group game, we celebrated as if we had won the trophy. This victory of ours, though sweet, is overcelebrated. What a shame!

RomanceRe: At What Age Does A Boy Become A Man? by Emylexray(m): 1:05pm On Jan 31, 2013
To be a "real man" has less to do with "age". Forget the standard age for measuring adulthood which is 18years. To be a real man has to do with the ability and gut to handle challenges and the tough times one will encounter in the course of life, and still remain unscathed or unwavering. It entails being able to take responsibility for yourself. It only takes "men", i mean real men to scale through the hurdles of frustration, disappointment, sorrow induced as a result of losing a dear one, hardship caused by a bad economy in Nigeria. Maturity is a function of the mind. One can be 25, 30, 35 years and still wallowing in infancy. To be a man my brother is not a tea party.

FXKing2012: This is obviously a lie to tarnish the church and Christianity.

I knew this topic would make front page; atheists such as seun are always so quick and eager to move such stories to the front page even without any proof whatsoever.
I agree bro, this story is just to ridicule the pastors, the church and christianity at large. The story is too shallow to be true. The one that affirmed my doubts was when he said the pastor will issue him a receipt, that's ridiculous and preposterous. And the mods spiced it by putting it in front page. Their rewards await them!

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Pentecostal Christians Shake Their Heads Vigorously While Praying? by Emylexray(m): 8:09pm On Jan 13, 2013
Goshen360: First, DO NOT look unto me as a man, look unto Christ and If I teach what aligns with scriptures, follow it but if I err, follow Christ. In all, study the word for yourself to learn the truth for yourself.

Second, being Spiritual doesn't make you loose your mind especially when it comes to things of God. Like I said earlier, one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit is SELF control. You control yourSELF which includes your body and parts of your body. The Nigerian version of Christianity, actually its churchianity not Christianity because the early Christians prayed and got extra ordinary result and we're told shaking their heads were part of their prayer exercise.



When you say Jacod 'wrestled' with a man, what was it? Physical or invisible man? Today, our warfare is NOT physical but spiritual (Eph. 6:12). How do you wrestle with invisible forces if it is physical? Jacobs' case is a type of the NT spiritual warfare. In Jacob's case, it was physical but in the NT, it's spiritual and the Apostle say, our warfare is NOT with FLESH AND BLOOD but against SPIRITUAL wickedness....

You said, ""Wrestled" in that context connotes "violence". So what are we saying? Shaking the head while praying indicates violence or "holy anger" as some may term it".

I can't believe this! Well, you said it all as you rightly said..."as some may term it", NOT what scripture says neither did scriptures term it so. wrestled doesn't = violence and shaking head while praying is just a religious add up to the things of the Spirit, it does not indicate violence. Jesus cast out demons BY HIS WORDS, not shaking his heads and screaming and sweating. Well, you may not buy into my teaching but study the scriptures for yourself and in the mirror of the word, let God show you how Spiritual things are done. Things of the Spirit are done in the ways of the Spirit not in Nigerian way.
bro, i've observed most of your posts and teachings carefully and i can say you base your explanations solely on the NEW TESTAMENT thereby undermining the teachings and doctrines of the OLD TESTAMENT. I can remember vividly when you said "tithing" had been abolished in the old testament, are you implying that the doctrines of the OLD TESTAMENT are no longer valid in the mordern day christainity? That aside

you said spiritual battles can only be fought spiritually, how do you mean? Are you implying that the physical man must turn to a spirit before he can tackle spiritual things? I believe the physical controls the spiritual. When we pray in the physical, it affects the spiritual.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Pentecostal Christians Shake Their Heads Vigorously While Praying? by Emylexray(m): 1:11pm On Jan 13, 2013
Goshen360: ...because they are being religious. I don't understand when 'some' Christians turned themselves to lizard shaking their head nonstop. That isn't a requirement or assurance to answered prayers.
haaa! Oga goshen! You too!

I have always respected you for your sound knowledge of the Bible and your unbiased way of addressing religious matters, but this comment of yours depicts how "unspiritual" you are bro. What happened to warfare prayers?

Genesis 32 vs 24 : and jacob was left alone and there "wrestled" a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25. And when he saw that he pravailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh. . .AS HE WRESTLED WITH HIM.

In the above bible verses, Jacob wrestled with an angel in prayers. "Wrestled" in that context connotes "violence". So what are we saying? Shaking the head while praying indicates violence or "holy anger" as some may term it. Na wa o!

Pangea: I get more amazed daily at the ignorance of many dumb cret.ins posing as Mr. Know All on nairaland
Many just use their good for nothing hands to type rubbish, inviting more sorrow into their lives, what makes me mad is the fact that many of these people are professing that they are christians or from such homes. Its rare to find a muslim attacking any facet of their mode of worship but these omo ale will always find something rotten to write about their faith!
To the topic,
Prayer is an expression of the soul trying to contact its maker, its a way of communicating with the spiritual, its a cry for help from above.
There are many instances and inferences in the bible where passionate prayers were demonstrated and which you may call getting physical with prayers:

Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane for the cup to go over him and the bible recorded that his sweat was as thick as blood,such prayers are not ordinary, it must have been physical for him to be sweating like that in an open and cold garden before dawn.

Another example is Elijah, after the bloody power play with the prophets of Baal on mount carmel,
He wanted to pray for rain and the bible recorded that he sat on the ground and put his head between his laps to pray!
I'm sure many on Nairaland seeing such prayers would have called him mad, but Elijah prayed such acrobatic prayers and got results.

No wonders unusual things are no longer working with prayers again, because many new generation christians always attack what they don't understand.
I rest my case!
God bless you a million times sir,

"the carnal man can never understand the things of the spirit!

For me, i will say before anyone choses a course to study in the university, he or she should consider his natural ability. What can you do with flair and less struggle? Chose a course that will complement your natural ability, by so doing, you will be an indispensable graduate when you are through.
