A woman who knows how to support her man's dreams, adds real value to his life rather than the old tale "her body" does not even need to ask the question. Any sensible man knows how to treat this kind of a woman.

When you are nothing in a guy's life, a scenario like this is inevitable.

FOREXMARTS: Good morning house. Wish you all a pipfull month.

Long time..


@Topic:

I lost my last trade (Buy) on gold, just watching to see if gold is likely going to continue her move down to 1250 or 1260 is the short term bustop.

Seems we now have 1260 and 1295 to play with.

What would have been the positions of those against this Australian man if he had named Buhari, Tinubu, Rochas and co as the sponsors of Boko Haram?

Do we still have sincere people in this utterly religious country?

On fridays and sundays, does it mean aliens transform into Nigerians, go to mosques and churches, then disappear around 11:59pm on these days?

Using American fund to kill American citizens

nnatom: make use of the holy spirit, ask and also read wide, not just within your catholic box, read outside your catholic box, you just might find out the deeper truth.
the deeper truth dat Mary should not be hornored or that Catholics don't worship christ.
my brother what's ur point.

The deeper truth about not worshipping or bowing down for graven image, mortal or a dead person.

That God is a jealous God

that Mary already got her reward on earth for being the path the Saviour came through

That God does not share his glory with mere mortal, if he had issues sharing his glory with Lucifer, who then is mary?

Lastly, that the images catholics worship are that of pagan gods and can be termed idol worshipping..

find out the truth about these images, who they really are and why they were shipped into catholism.

That you should not just sit and swallow what you are told when it comes to spiritual things, go out there, explore, read wide, compare and contrast, pray real prayers, ask God through his Son Jesus and not mary to show you the truth, invite the holy spirit into your heart for interpretation.

These are my points.

may God show us all the way and lead us right.

Shalom

Outta here.

dlex21: I thought of red hammer and was shocked to see that's the answer

Same here

But then Red being my fave color and hammer being the latest tool I bought, so I wasn't surprised picking these two things, but then seeing them in the list? hmmm

btoks: My good bros, this is not new teaching.this has been taught since the early days of Christianity. I gave you St Ireanaeus letter as an example -this whole concept is called the proto evangelium. Obviously some people don't believe it but it doesn't change its truth.
In fact Jesus called Mary 'woman' at Cana and Calvary which no Jewish child will call his mother.was Jesus revealing something here?

I do bible study in conjunction with the church's teaching as it is the pillar and foundation of truth. The personal interpretation of Scripture is guarded against (2peter1.20). What do you really think has happened with everyone thinking they can interpret the scriptures -DRUM ROLLLLLLL!!- A lot confusion and denominations not in communion.

Bros these issues have been debated for centuries and aren't knew.the CC teaching is clear all over the world, I need not reinvent the wheel. What church are you a member of?

So the Berom christians that always went home to compare and contrast Paul's teachings were doing wrong by studying the bible personally? hehehe, brother being spoonfed in Christianity is the lowest low in spiritual growth. this is why it's hard for you to actually discern the truth from the untruth.

When you say personal interpretation is wrong, then I shiver at your understanding of the word of God.. it's the spirit of God that gives understanding and there is a difference between carnal understanding and the one given by the Holy Spirit.

deeper truth comes when you study the word of God with the help of the holy spirit.

what exactly do you think the holy spirit is there for? those you line behind, where did their interpretation come from? was it not also through personal studies?

Bro, seek the truth so you shall know the truth.

Lastly, Jesus used woman multiple times to address Mary not because of Gen 3:15, he also used son of man multiple times for himself, was Jesus also son of man when SCRIPTURES says he came into Mary's womb via the holy spirit and not through any man.

The word of God should not be interpreted carnally bro, it has deeper meaning, make use of the holy spirit, ask and also read wide, not just within your catholic box, read outside your catholic box, you just might find out the deeper truth.

May God show you the light and understanding

btoks: .This does not require my personal interpretation(as guarded against by Peter - 2peter1:20), it causes confusion leading to countless denominations. the church has already done the hard work and I profess to believe in the Catholic Church's teaching.the church is the pillar and foundation of truth-1tim3:15.

So your church interpretation is that the woman in gen 3:15 is mary and the seed is Jesus? God have mercy, what about the quote that says "study yourself approved.... "? how do you grow in the world of God and faith if you rely solely on others to interpret the bible for you? are you still a baby Christian or what? do you do personal studies at all?

maestroferddi: So in your warped imagination, the government should allow violence and insecurity fester out of control?

I am sure it escaped your consciousness that our democracy is still too formative to relax security arrangements.

My problem is that you guys are displaying a dangerous propensity for confusion.


I hope you could see the pointlessness of the hue and cry on security deployment in the by-election conducted in Niger State days ago?

Was the election not cancelled because of election related violence?

So what exactly are you talking about?

LOL, you are very smart.. what is the job of the police men and the civil defence corp? to pick unripe mangoes?
What is too formative in our democracy that you are babbling about? how old is democracy in SA?
Are we just conducting election in Nigeria? have we not conducted election in Nigeria without the use of the military men?

Niger state is close to a volatile area in Nigeria where we have issues with security, but was there anything like insecurity in Ekiti and Osun?
What about Anambra? be, quit exposing your folly, it's becoming glaring now!

Atmmachine: I hate Nigerians..
Ask me why ?


They are so foolish & disgusting .

90% of American girls are fat.
They eat popeye,wendy,Mcdonald,subway,chesse & all those stuffs that will make you fat yet Nigerian guys will kill themselves to get them..


Some people need to grow up

1: Stop pulling stats from the thin air.
2: Learn to speak for yourself and yourself only!

btoks: Re. Gen 3.15 -Don Stewart's?? interpretation vs St Ireanaeus, st Augustine, pope Pius IX and centuries of Christian history.I know which I'll choose. Please read Ireanaeus' letter in the previous post well.this was from the 2nd century.

So what is your own interpretation? what interpretation did the holy spirit reveal to you or you just rely on other's interpretations?

I gave you mine even before including that of the quoted and other people within the 2 links provided.

maestroferddi: Tell how you expect me to take you serious when you are displaying grievous subjectivity?

You might need to do a little research on press freedom and civil liberties indices to ascertain where we and where we are coming from.

Opposition parties spokesmen arrested and jailed? Can you provide specific examples of such arbitrary repression?

You must be living in Isle of man lol..

The elections that took place in Ekiti and osun state, did you not hear about the arrest and detentions or you truly live in the Isle of man?

What about the usage of military men in a democratic election, where in the world is this done? is this also a democratic practise?

maestroferddi: How is the ruling party operating?

When presently you have the degree of press freedom and freedom of speech unprecedented in the history of Nigeria.

Stop insulting our sensitivity, press freedom where spokemen of opposition parties are being arrested and jailed?

Was there no freedom of speech during yaradua, Shagari, Shonekan and co's era?

What do you expect from a supposed democratic government? is freedom of speech even suppose to be a gift in a democracy?

Please stop insulting people with sane mind!

maestroferddi: I blame you?

Hehe, i hope you know what Pol 106 is?

maestroferddi: Some working. Oh, I see...

Hope you read your Pol 106 sha?

Teespice: team chubby or should I say fat

and I am so loving the way I am.


gone are the days when I whine about my size.

But you ain't fat na, you are just meaty (Clifford Orji's fave)

maestroferddi: Go read your books ojare.

You should be one reading your books especially of logic, government and morals, i am working

maestroferddi: I have successfully made my points sha.

And i have successfully faulted your faulty points

maestroferddi: I still insist you burnish your O Level government, anyways.

And i insist you brush up your knowledge on government and the word "opposition"

1250 is so close now.. can we see her today?

caseless: op, u need education!
The only time the speaker of the congress of the united state agreed with obama was when he(obama) attempted to invade syria and the refusal of the speaker to host russian delegation that visited US then. The republican-dominated congress never agree with the senate or obama on any issue eg obamacare.
I saw MPs in the uk shouting david cameron down yrstrday when he went there to brief them on the measures/policy adopted to restrict their citizens that joined isis and are fighting in syria frm coming back to the UK.
Houthi shiit are on the neck of yemeni gov't right now.
Imran khan and al-qadri are on the streets in islamabad asking for the resignation of nawaz sharif.
Your shallow analysis makes me angry.
Go and read!

You dey mind the op? he doesn't even know the meaning of opposition..

He should also go and read about the opposition in SA, Zimbabwe, Thailand, Russia of all places, Ukraine e.t.c

maestroferddi: Then you must have helped yourself with microchips.

Which student of government or political science have not heard the aphorism that the opposition is the watchdog of government.

Oga go and review the basics of government and stop drawing me back...

There was no microchip in my time... if you need a watchdog for your ineptitude govt, contact the civil right group, the pressure group, the activist and co.

The opposition must continue to play its role which is "SERVING AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE RULING PARTY". that is the number one reason for being an opposition.

maestroferddi: What did you score in O Level Government?

A1, now what did you score?

btoks: Mary is not worshiped or elevated higher than Jesus this has been mentioned too many times - why force something that isn’t true down our throats!!! Mary is venerated due to her special status as the one who gave birth to our saviour – She’s the Theotokus (Council of Ephesus 431 AD). Whatever happened to Free Will if you think “God would have still used her even if she was not ready to yield” These issues are more complicated than a Nairaland exchange - People have studied years of Theology to still not fully comprehend issues like this and you think your statement is accurate. I'll leave the issue with what we do know happened.

OK, if the Gen 3:15 quote is way outta line please tell us what the line is. I’ll take the CC teaching over yours as it teaches that the passagse is a foreshadowing of Mary and Jesus. Please check out St Ireanaeus in the 2nd century:

Christ completely renewed all things, both taking up the battle against our enemy and crushing him who at the beginning had led us captive in Adam, trampling on his head, as you find in Genesis that God said to the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and the seed of the woman. He will be on the watch for your head, and you will be on the watch for his heel.” From then on it was proclaimed that he who was to be born of a virgin, after the likeness of Adam, would be on the watch for the serpent’s head. This is the seed of which the apostle says in the letter to the Galatians, “The law of works was established until the seed should come to whom the promise was made.” He shows this still more clearly in the same epistle when he says, “But when the fullness of time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman.” – Gal 4:4 The enemy would not have been justly conquered unless it had been a man made of woman who conquered him. For it was by a woman that he had power over man from the beginning, setting himself up in opposition to man. Because of this the Lord also declares himself to be the Son of Man, so renewing in himself that primal man from whom the formation of man by woman began, that as our race went down to death by a man who overcame, and as death won the palm of victory over us by a man, so we might by a man receive the palm of victory over death. AGAINST HERESIES 5.21.1.

To repeat, Mary is not worshipped, she is given honour due to her special status. Your responses as I've mentioned before show a sort of disdain for Mary rather than honour which she deserves.

I have no personal grudge with Mary, i am only responding according to how you guys try to make her look. you have given her the stature of a god which is a disdain to me.

You talk about free-will, forgetting the case of Jonah, what happened to free-will in the case of Jonah?

As for Gen 3:15, go and do your own research on the meaning. it has more to do with the children of damnation and the saved.

http://biblehub.com/genesis/3-15.htm

https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/don_stewart/don_stewart_756.cfm

I repeat again, Mary did the job God wanted her to do just like every other people in the past and presence God uses to accomplish his will/mission.

maestroferddi: You are getting it twisted. If you go back to the essay you would see where it was stated that opposition should be the watchdog of government.

Nobody is averse to opposition:all we are asking is that the opposition should conduct itself in such a manner that it doesn't become a nuisance and sabotage the common good.

Every Nigerian is not a politician. The moment a party gets the national/state mandate to lead, we expect that such party should be allowed to delivered the dividends of democracy.

In a situation where the opposition chooses to create unnecessary bottlenecks that stifle national growth, it then becomes completely objectionable.

Opposition should not translate to an outright/wholesale demonisation of the ruling party.

That is the point that is being made.

LOL, so the opposition should serve as the watchdog? do you know the meaning of the word "WATCHDOG"?

What is the job of the Judiciary, pressure group, activist and the Legislators if the opposition to you should be the watchdog?

maestroferddi: You can avail us with your understanding what an opposition party entails?


Was this how our heroes past like Awo and Azikiwe played opposition that made them national icons?

And was this how the ruling party operated during their era?

What about Sony Xperia Z1 and Z2?

Sick people.

Obviously, this OP does not understand the meaning of "opposition party"

If you have PM, WMZ and Egopay to sell, kindly contact me, we buy in bulk and pay same day.

italo: God used your mother as a tool to bear you...and we must honour her.

God came into the womb of Mary, she bore him, suckled him, bathed him, nurtured him etc...

And you want us and the apostles to join you in dishonouring her.

Penterascal! You have lost your mind.

Yes, you have to respect those who gave birth to you, respect which everyone worthy of it deserve but not when you worship the person. Only God can and should be worshipped. worshipping a fellow mortal in the name of 'HONOUR" is where the line is crossed.

Do you build the stature of your mother in your room, house or any where else to bow and worship her in the name of honour?

No one told you not to respect your mother, but worshipping the image or stature of your mother is nothing but idolatry. if you do that, you have turned your mother to a god and an idol which God the jealous God is against.

Quit the "sentimental" sucked, birthed, nurtured yadayada.. with or without Mary, Jesus would still have been on earth for his ministry, this fact you cant change!

BTW, i think you have anger issues and very crude too with your use of words, why not learn to be civilized or maybe pretend to be by toning down on your "degrading" name calling?

What makes you think i am even "pentecostal"?
