Then you have not been reading what I have been writing. Last stroke and i'll leave you since we are typing and not physically shring ideas. He is God. As you said, from the realm of the incomprehensible. You will recall that even though non-christian authors and historians have made mention of Jesus Christ, Herod, etc...there are no photos of them. Now, I assume that a writer in the 14th century may not even know how to ask for photos because it is alien to him, likewise the issue of taking photos of the words you say while saying or the "air" in telecommunications. God is not a man and because He is not a man it would be out of place to expect Him to be subject to laws of men. But if you need His photos, give your life to Jesus Christ, for Christ is the express image of the Father. Shalom(quote author=hahn post=74588884]

Share pictures of the encounters please[/quote]

I answered your sister-friend. It is in the context you know from the gold. As for God, I have had encounters with Him. No pressure about that

LordReed:
You still haven't answered the question? How do you know the gold is a metaphor but heaven and the god are not?

By context. When the Bible says that if all the deeds of Jesus Christ were to be written down, I reckon the whole world won't contain them, the writer was using metaphors. When Isaiah's lips were touched with the burning coal, it was not physical was it? The way to grasp a thing is to read about what it says and juxtapose with what is being said and what you think. Have you read the Bible today?

XxSabrinaxX:
How do you determine if a statement is a metaphor or not, then?

Like you said, he is within the realm of incomprehensibility. That is why we worship Him by faith. In Hebrews 11:1 - Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen". If my God, Jehovah, is comprehensible then He is no more than a mere being. He is God all by Himself. An infinite-God being comprehended by mortal-beings should NOT be served, don't you think?

LordReed:
I don't say that because I know what a human being and a house are so when that human being uses a metaphor I can distinguish between reality and metaphor. Your god being on the other hand has been domiciled in a realm of incomprehensibility so I cannot distinguish between what is supposed to be real and what is supposed to be a metaphor. Which is why I ask you how do we distinguish between your god and the gold being metaphors?

If someone says "I am going through a storm in my house" does it mean there is a literal storm in his/her house? If we agree the storm is a metaphor, will you also say the speaker and the house is a metaphor?

LordReed:
So what stops us from also assuming the heaven and the god are metaphors as well?

XxSabrinaxX come see your metaphor loving friend. LMFAO!

Good morning everyone,

Since January 1st 2019, the song i have being listening to and on repeat mode is Aje by Jaywon. This song lyrics really got me and I cant just help to take my mind off the lyrics. I really need someone to connect me with a job or any legit online job that pays. Almost Through out 2018 I was without a job and it was really difficult living life. Computer Science HND graduate, I am not a fresh graduate and i have years of working experience. I Just need somebody's help Please.

Thank you.

Heaven is not a part of the universe. Gold, in this context, is a metaphor. It represents something close to what human knowledge can grasp and imperfect language can transmit. Indeed, anything so precious is often called gold to "communicate" the writer's sense-perception in mortal understanding.

Animals give birth in pain. Since they can't speak and I have not found a verse for that I cannot say why. However, at the time Eve was cursed she hadn't had a baby. So, we can infer that the curse of pain in childbirth was for her to give birth and feel pains like animals. Remember, a donkey spoke once and a King, Nebuchadnezzar, was made to eat grass and live in the Wild like an animal for years. Shalom

Belthazor:
God apparently punished women through Eve with painful childbirth because of sin.


Why then do animals feel pain while giving birth? What sin did they commit against God?

Niger is bigger than Nigeria in land mass yet check its population size

solihu:
Because you have people living in clusters In the south due to size of the region Compared to the northern part which has a very large land mass.

How come as sparsely populated as the north is, they always record a higher number of voters or people? Scam

Otuocha! Akukor!

Brother, find better thing to do with your time and leave those ones.

First, how can a gender equality bill be for (Nigerian) women? Is gender equality not supposed to be for all gender (male and female)?
Second, you called yourself a feminist by collusion. That is the crux of the matter.
Third, why can't feminism frown at favourable matriarchal bestowments on women? Why are they all out to squeeze men of their testicle and make it a tug of war?

frenzyduchess:
And that is where you people miss it, who said it was a supremacy tussle?.May I ask who and who set those cultural patterns ,what gender makeup ?,maybe then we can begin to know the root of the issue.

I can't help what you perceive.You cited some tribes and assumed I had no idea of what I was talking about and was plucking ideas from the Internet,so now who has the misguided assumption?. The gender equality bill is for Nigerian women not certain tribes ,so I dont even see the need why because certain tribes are not gender biased others don't get the right to be liberated.

And by the way you sound educated,don't you think its rather stereotyped to call me a feminist?why does a person have to be tagged a name just because the choose to have a conversation on a topic?.

Honestly,you really didnt have to start shaking your head,what For?Its a conversation,is this how you go around shaking your head when having conversations? Weird shalom to you too bro.

There goes my problem with your view. You are picking and choosing and not taking my opinion word-for-word. Was the Internet the only place I said you pluck your ideas from? Did I not give instance(s) of matriarchal cultures? Biko, i'm letting you to your resolve.m I sell property, marine vessels, cars, agro products, etc. Let's talk that one, ejoor ma

You feminists live by misguided assumptions. I listed a lot of things to show you that how people are treated depended largely on cultural patterns and not necessarily a gender supremacy tussle, you picked the one you thought best for your argument, presumed what that choice should be and lashed out. Then confirmed that your environment is what influences your approach to life. Smh. When you are willing to learn or come up with better cosmology about life, I'm always data-ready. Shalom

frenzyduchess:
And I am not from any of this tribes yet I am not entitled to an inheritance and you say I am plucking ideas from the internet?. . By the way I am still trying to figure out what the bolded means ,what is certain terms? Why not equally? I guess certain terms involves when they will be sold into marriage . Go and read the equal rights bill and have a perfect understanding.

Stop plucking ideas off the Internet or your environment. We have tonnes of cultures doing even worse than that to the boychild and men. Do you know the Efik people practice a system of matriarchal heritage and even the Hausa/Fulani value their girl child in certain terms than their boy child? Even the yorubas are divided in their opinions about how to treat the girl child and the Ijaws give an equal share until recently. It is the Igbos who still stick to patriarchy and it's understood that cultures differ

frenzyduchess:
Its being treated fairly .some cultures see the girl child as subhuman to the sons,things like inheritance,things like right to education (some cultures still believe educating the girl child is a taboo),things like equal rights for widows, etc.

And his name is Christian (which means "Christ-like". These are the ones y'all let yourselves emulate

Well...looks like he's left to dream bigger now





R.I.P.

Mbok, what does it stand for?

frenzyduchess:
y'all have it wrong about what feminism stands for or maybe the people that interpreted it did a terrible job .

No. I think it's a mocking word

Donelli:
Wawa is like an equivalent of calling someone an ijebu man or an Igbira man. Has to do with dialect (if I'm not mistaken)

. So the criminal rascals have not even agreed among themselves they're busy coveting other non-igbo states and even giving them names? IPOB is dead on arrival. Albino boy, chop their money, disappear as Bear-bear man do dem. Iberibe

I heard of wawa again today. First time was about 5 years ago
