No, unless they repent

ShackWes:
I just wonder if the whites would follow worship Jesus if he was black

blacks change your mentality and stop thinking of a Jew character in a story book as your savior

Ignorance!
Jews ain't white
Israel isn't even in western Europe

AntiChristian:
Where did Jesus pray with the Bible in the Bible?

He uses the scriptures

dyera:
What's the difference between obeying God and serving God?

Same.

Obedience = Service

AntiChristian:
I don't need to abide in Christ. Christ never mentioned anyone abiding in him.

I believe he existed as a man sent to the Israelites as their savior just as Moses was sent to save his people from Pharaoh and Noah was to save the believers from the flood.

Jn 15:7

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Holla,

Having been on Nairaland for almost 7yrs+, I think it's fair I let Nairalanders know even though I'm a very private person.

The wedding is on the 16th January, here in Abuja.

Simplicity

branhampaul:
I disagree with your list for several reasons which I have written below.

FIRSTLY, the English language as it is, is not a prescriptive language, but rather it is DESCRIPTIVE - in usage and essence. In simple terms, this means that English dictionaries reflect the way the language or words are used and not the other way (telling users how to use a language as if it is mechanical).

The way a language or word is currently being used is what is taught in schools and stored in dictionaries. Such is the beauty of English. English is not a mechanical language or a language with serious penalties for new usages.

Nevertheless the above, I accept that there are few rules, simple, to aid comprehension when speaking English, and these rules are usually related to concords; hardly are they adjectives or nouns.

If a particular region starts the use of a particular word (especially an adjective) in describing, it is very much welcomed and English language will update itself to reflect such speaking.

For the "barb" word you talked being wrong which Nigerians use daily, it has been taken by English dictionaries to reflect the way Nigerians use it. See the screenshot I attached below.

Further, for the word "trafficator" which you condemned, is obviously in one of the world most popular dictionary (i.e the English Android dictionary). See the further screenshot I attached below to this post.

I hope I have been able to educate.
For emphasis, let me repeat some of the key points I have made:

i. English language is DESCRIPTIVE, not prescriptive. And such is the best way for the language to be and progress, if not it would be static and might die off. Above all, such is its' beauty.

ii. New adjectives are created everyday, so you do not condemn an adjective a particular region or people speaking English have adopted. English should and will update itself to reflect such usages.

That is it.

Try and speak with class woman. Beauty within reflects in beauty outwardly even in speech and manners

The headline of this write-up was the base-line of a text messge I got yesterday from an HR. A very strong thing happened to me yesterday and I felt like sharing it with fellow Nairalanders to see where I stand in this and if it were you what you'd do. So, I applied for this online job late November last year [2020] and few days after I was called for interview which I honoured. After the interview I was told they'll get back to me. I didn't hear from them till around 5:00 p.m. January 7th, 2021. It was a phone call, the HR reminded me of the interview and said I was successful but that I would have to come over for the final stage of the interview on the 8th. I showed my appreciation and said that I would honour the invitation.
After the phone call, I was happy and immediately started preparation for the invite. I did most of those activities outside my room while my phone was inside till around 7:00 p.m. When I was through, I started my freelancing job online using my PC and didn't use my phone throughout the night. When it was 5 a.m. on the 8th, I pressed my clothes, bath and was getting ready for the interview then I check my phone for time, I saw a message icon and opened it, it has the following message; Hello, Mr ****, this is **** from ****. Kindly note that your invitation for the final stage of the interview has been put on hold. Thank you. My gash. My mind ran 360 degree instantly, non-stop. I called the HR, the phone rang but didn't pick. I felt since the relationship was a former one, one phone call was okay and I texted but no reply too. The interval between the HR call to inform me of the interview and the time of the cancellation messge sent was an hour and a half. Now, is this HR or organisation fair at all? What should I do next and if it were you, what would you do? I should have hold it to myself alone but the harder I try to kick it behind the stronger the pain and frustration it brings. So, I felt I should share it with expert minds here on Nairaland. This is note a joke so I'll appreciate meaningfull concerns, suggestions, and if it has happened to you before or if it's normal. I didn't mention the name of the organisation and the HR for official reasons. Thanks.

Why not make a physical appearance to get more details whether you ll be reschedule or its been cancelled permanently

IntersexSherry:
In my own case, the time i lived as a man. No one could tell if i was a man or a woman lol. They were all confused so when i switched over, no one even complained or was surprised. I looked both masculine and feminine at the same time..
When i tell them ''i am a man'' they will be like ''are you sure??'' Lmao.
Some wil be dragging with me, ''you are a girl na'' lol.
I never took off my shirt or stayed with any boy or any girl and i always cover my body when i come out.
Some go say ''this one no be human being oh'' everyone was confused and scared. Them ask me questions tire. Always have to educate them, still educating..
It was hard still hard but am still surviving.
Am a woman, am strong, am beautiful, am sexy am intersex and i keep educating and creating awareness on this field so people learn we exist...
Most people don't believe we are real.
A woman is a woman....
I am SPECIAL.
The serpent herself . Always proud�

You were never a man...no masculinity in you from your actions

GodWrites:
Number 4 of my predictions for 2021 state and I quote,

"4. Trump wouldn't stop tweeting. His addiction is going to cause a riffle in his own life, that it will cause a buzz in the media."

Just recently, The current president of America, Donald Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter.

But this is nothing compared to what is coming, for I see woes and woes.

I weep for the common man!

Your no1 invalidate the rest of your prophesy.
