A mother and a virgin. She was conceived by the holy spirit

I agree the bible said she conceived by the Holy spirit. But having given birth to Jesus, can she be rightly referred to as a virgin?

I was born and baptised as a Catholic. I was at the same time privileged to observe other religious practices and analyse the contradictions in all.

There are so many religious practices in the Catholic Church that do not seem to align with certain biblical injunctions. Particularly the part of image-worship (IDOLATRY).

Also, the use of Ash, palm, candle, water, biscuits etc to perform some rituals is something nobody has been able to explain the significance. Particularly why those items were selected.

The African traditional religion make use of all the above including other natural items like kolanut, egg, leaves etc to perform their rituals as well. Yet the catholics believe they are ungodly.

The ATR recognise, make the statutes and pray through their known ancestors such as their forefathers.

The Catholics on the one side, reference ancestors like Jesus, Mary, St. Paul, St Peter, St, John etc and pray to the molded statutes of Mary and Jesus. They don't even reference Moses and Abraham as much neitherdo they make their statutes. At least I haven't seen the statute of Moses in any Church.

All the above are worrisome but what I find somewhat difficult to understand is the reason catholics refer to the mother of Jesus as "Blessed Virgin Mary"

Can a mother still be called a virgin?

My brother HK bad

Please educate me. What is HK?

Nobody is exactly sure whether or not there are spiritual consequences for adultery. It is all about superstition and assumptions. Bad things happen to good and bad people.

Even from the Christian bible, the remarkable stories of David and Solomon shows that God loves adulterers. Imagine God making the adulterous David the man after his heart.

The product of King David's most publicised adulterous act was Solomon. Solomon was born out of wedlock (a bastard) but he went on to become the greatest King ever.

Don't also forget that King Solomon was a serial adulterer. Bible said he married 300 wives and had 700 concubines. By all standards, he was immoral just like his father, King David.

My personal opinion about adultery is that it is bad. It creates distractions that could affect the commitment of the cheating partner to building the marriage. It is the single most dangerous cause of disaffection amongst couples.

He wont feel the pain...

He will probably make the money by next week Friday

Yes, he will certainly make the money but he will continue to waste it until he becomes broke.

Wealth isn't ultimately a function of how much you earn. You can't be and remain wealthy if you have a habit of waste and extravagance.

Polygamy has nothing to do with this boy
Let nature take it's effect Nigerians please
Allow the family to grieve in peace

It may be too hasty to draw such or any conclusion howsoever. The entrance of the strange woman may be accompanied with all kinds of unimaginable evils.

Every happy family should be prayerful. It takes just one silly involvement with a carrier of evil to destroy your family. And these things are spiritual and not physical.

They want to subject his mother to another torturous experience of watching her son being butchered during autopsy.

This is too much for a mother.

You think it is easy to cook, clean, take care of the children, watch your husband perambulate with his male appendage to and fro, take condescending insults from male staff and people around, keep the house steady, and after all that still keep your sanity.

You should try be a woman for a week, and see if you wouldn't want to lock someone in a dog cage too.

Maybe this was her defence before the court.

Jack500:
Nobody is holding you from Biafra, you guys can create Biafra by withdrawing from other part of Nigeria and concentrate on your region, no one can stop you from doing that.

You are all deceiving yourself, you never ready

This is not how to disintegrate. Will you also be asking the government of Nigeria to withdraw its police, army, Navy and any other federal government establishments from their region?

Personally I think this country does not necessarily need to disintegrate, but restructured.

It should be expected that nigerians will resort to cash hoarding after the useless and heartless stunt CBN pulled on them a couple of weeks back

Exactly! That is usually the effect of such obnoxious policies. They have created more panic than there was.

FEAR has gripped Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) that low deposits from their customers could limit their ability to lend and offer credit to boost production and investments.

A Bankers’ Committee member confirmed that the banks have been threatened by what he described as lack of interest to “return difficult-to-get cash into the banking system.”

The cash crunch triggered by the implementation of the naira redesign policy encouraged many Nigerians to abandon the banking culture.

The banker said: “It is not really desirable if cash is not deposited in the banks, either across the counter or through electronic transfers. It means money supply will be reviewed beyond what is optimal and that can affect lending.

“The ability of the commercial banks to create money, lend money for production purposes, for investment purposes, even for consumption; people borrow money to buy personal goods and services; all that will be affected.”

The senior banker attributed the weak desire to return cash to banks to the loss of confidence in the system, saying it was “as a result of a decline in confidence in the system, the fear that cash shortage will continue.”

He added: “Those who are not traditional hoarders are also keeping the cash at home, but at some point, when more money is in circulation, normalcy will return to the banking system”, he said.

The banker, who pleaded anonymity, said the lack of interest in depositing cash is part of the uncertainty arising from the scarcity of cash in banks, following the introduction of the cashless policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

However, he expressed optimism that confidence was gradually being restored in the banks and commercial sector.

Proffering a solution, the banker urged the CBN to “sustain its tempo of releasing more notes, both new and old into the system, saying definitely, customers will gradually regain confidence in the banking system”.

The Managing Director/CEO SD& Capital Management Limited, Mr. Gbolade Idakolo, said: “The deposit is expected to decline due to the experience of depositors in the past few months.

“Bank customers went through hell to make withdrawals from their deposits so it is natural for there to be resentment as regards depositing their funds back to the banks.

“This trend will be on for some months before depositors will adjust accordingly. The economy will gradually bounce back with the infusion of cash back into the system,”

The staff of some commercial banks in Abuja told The Nation ”that deposits are coming in trickles, most come only to withdraw”.

Another scenario playing out daily in the banking halls is the crowd of bank customers who besiege the customer care unit of the banks. Most of the angry customers visit the Customer Care unit to complain about one failed transaction or the other.

Olasimbo Akinsiku was at her bank to demand for the reversal of several debits allegedly posted against her account for failed airtime purchases amounting to N8, 000. She left the bank with assurances that the payment would be reversed.

Another customer whose N13, 100 had been stuck between her bank and a gas retail station, said she’s being lodging complaints at her bank since February 11 to have her money returned, but she said nothing has been done so far.

At the last Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, apologised to Nigerians for the glitches they experience in the course of using alternative payment channels.

Since his apology, many Nigerians have been weary of engaging in electronic transactions and some banks’ Automated Teller Machines (ATM) cards are notorious for their failures.

Was that the case here?

No.

The caption read, SUCCESSFUL!

The person whose comment you responded to, raised concerns about the state of the theatre and not the outcome of the surgery.

Richbillal:
Me i will like to have a Doctor as wife 🙄

Be ready also for a life of loneliness and boredom.

diggindeep:
While being skeptical, was the surgery successful or not?

You should accept that the setting is messy and unorganised.

Haven't you seen patients return for corrective surgery or to remove a forgotten object inside the body?

Kobonaire4:
Not the original poster, but if you are looking for a spouse that would be home by 6 pm for supper, it isn't a medical doctor

Depending on the specialty, your spouse can be called to the hospital at 2pm in the morning for an emergency.

And yes, he or she comes home and is tired, and upset, and stressed.

I think this applies to Nurses too.

Banhammy717:
This is fallacy and irritating.
Satan is not a leader in any part of the world.
Almighty God is the Leader and Sole Ruler of the heavens and the earths. He doesn't share His kingdom with anyone.
Satan is just a mere jinn, he doesn't have any authority over you and I

This would have been inspiring except that even the bible acknowledged that Satan has powers. In fact one that is capable of gargantuan destruction.

Again, Christians of almost all the various denominations are still casting away Satan and conducting deliverance sessions to free worshippers from the grip of Satan.

Could they be all wrong?

Kobojunkie:
1. How did you ascertain that Satan killed them though?

Or are you of the thought that Satan is to blame for all bad things that take place in our plain?

2. Satan is blamed by whom for using whom? Where do you get the idea that Satan takes the blame for the evils men perpetrate against their fellow men? When did evil seize to be a choice that men make?

3. Newsflash! Christianity is a man-made religion which has absolutely nothing to do with God much like every other religion out there. God never gave men religion so when men use create and use religion as yet another tool of manipulation against their fellow man, it has nothing to do with God who already prewarned His followers never to put their trust in flesh and blood nor in the doctrines and traditions of human beings.

4. Scripture instead states that the devil is the enemy who is against those that belong to God in the Kingdom of God. So it is not safe at all to also assume that the devil is also against those of the religion of Christianity, those who don't even belong to God at all.

I am inclined to agree with your point 3 in its entirety. In fact, it has been my position for quite a long time now. It is also, in my opinion, the only position that would remove the needless involvement or the association of events by human beings with God. Whenever somebody mentions "it happened because it's GOD'S WILL", I marvel at such manifestly self-delusion.

For example, a group of men, gets guns and kills worshippers and somebody concludes it was God's will.

On point 4, I would really appreciate if you could provide further clarification.

Recall that I previously expressed my confusion with the concept of shared authority between God and Satan (the devil) against which you argued. But from your conclusion hereinabove, you seem to give credence to the presumption of shared authority.

You implied that there are some people who do not belong to God. By that, it appears a person can be forgiven if they assume that such people belong to the Devil. If that conclusion holds true, does it not suggest that on earth, you either belong to God or the Devil?

Lagos should be divided into two states.

Kobojunkie:
1. Christianity is a religion that is founded upon doctrines and traditions of men — AntiChrist ideas — which Jesus Christ warned would deceive and delude the masses away from following the Truth of God as contained in His very teachings - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13.

2. There is no such thing as shared authority between God and Satan this since the power Satan has comes from God, and he, Satan, is only able to do that which God allows him to do in the Kingdom of God where he, satan, is set up as the enemy — he is a handler over those who choose to reject the teachings of Jesus Christ in order to assert instead the ways of man in the Kingdom of God.

Your second point is where I have some sort of difficulty with.

If Satan's powers came from God and he is only able to exercise if allowed by God, then I wonder if it is alright to assume that God ALLOWED Satan to kill Christians worshipping inside the church in large numbers.

I wonder why God would allow some persons to perpetrate so much evil under the guise of worshipping God until they are caught, and then Satan is blamed for using them.

On daily basis Christian worshippers are subjected to all kinds of evil by their leaders. Evils even as grievous as adultery, rape and murder are visited upon innocent worshippers of God right inside the church.

Is it safe to conclude that God ALLOWED the devil to carry out all of that on Christians? I doubt.

N3TRAL:
Apart from my political bias, I love and admire Mr. Emefiele's commitment to a cashless economy.

It will benefit Nigeria in the long run. Let's cooperate for the sake of our future.

A cashless society will check embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds. It will reduce terrorism financing drastically.

Focus should be on improving e-banking infrastructure and enlightening computer illiterates on the need to evolve.

I agree with you. The thinking is good but as a nation, we aren't ripe for a full blown cashless society. The infrastructure and technology are not in place yet.

IyaebeTheGreat:
Mtcheww I hate to read anything about this Ahmed Musa anymore , he went and marry a second wife and Jamila left him. Wife of his youth ooo, the woman who loved him when he was a nobody, he begged her with his life but Jamila never agreed to come back. Build with him in the mud. I’ve never believed in that “build with him” bullshit, you are just wasting your time, they’ll hurt you and cause you pain at the right time. Go and make that money before we can have any meaningful conversation, else find your square root.

This is the lowest manifestation of intelligence I have read in a very long time. What a day!

Please where is the link to sign the petition? I need it urgently.

I once employed an employee…


With similar character. The dude ended up interviewing us the interviewers (I and my manager)

He got the job ( manager convinced me to employ him. I didn’t want wahala ) and we needed someone urgently at the time.

But funny thing is dude went on to be one of the best staffs we ever had.

Great guy Ralph… even though his over sabi might have cost him getting the job initially!

Staff, not STAFFS.

Stephenmoka4:
Looks like a teenager. However in some countries their U13 is comparable with Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The report clearly stated that he is 18 years old.
Why are you still saying he "looks like a teenager" when the report already said so?

Tinubu (sorry Amuda Ogunlere) and his people.

But don't also feel entitled to the pussy especially when you never pay bride price

You make pussy look like a commodity. Sex in a relationship is not given or taken, both adults enjoy it. The pleasure is mutual.

virginprincess:
Cheating, dishonesty and poverty.

The first two I understand but poverty is something that is most often, beyond the control of the poor.

By this, it is safe to assume that you would run away once your partner is hit with one of those harsh realities of life that immediately changes the fortune of a man.

Banhammy717:

This is the only perspective that would make sense when reconciled with the fact that God ALONE created the heaven and earth.

But I wonder why Christians pray against Satan always. They seem to believe that Satan is ruling the entire world or at best, a section of it.

Christian leaders are also constantly casting away Satan and conducting deliverance sessions to free people from the grip of Satan. Even the bible admonished adherents to FLEE from Satan.

I just don't understand this concept of shared authority between God and Satan in the same world God created all by himself.
