Besides having billions doesn't mean the project wasn't spoilt. It had to get several attempts at redemption, especially that time he destroyed the entire planet. Those are not the actions of someone who thinks things are not spoilt.
i seem to be observing the project as a whole, you seem to be observing it in phases. The Bible is FIRST to say all have sinned and there is NONE good. The story doesn't finish there, thankfully.
LordReed: I don't believe people have any kind of supernatural power to cause these things you mention but if someone who says he does evil things comes to marry my daughter then of course I would have an objection. I suspect you knew this already, that's why you were reticent in providing a definition of wizard, you wanted it to be a gotcha question.
Objection sustained. Every Nigerian in Nigeria knows the definition of witch/wizard.
PastorM: The one who went home to sleep was paid a full night's wage. Even if the site was covered, no manager/supervisor would allow that over here. It would be an instant dismissal.
The OP video said the supervisor was aware, abi? If it is against management or company policy, that's different. But it doesn't seem like a moral issue or deception.
PastorM: It's a common occurrence in Nigeria so one has forgotten what is right and wrong. However, this happened over here in the UK amongst African security men, where it is deemed dishonest to be paid for a job you did not do.
So were the guys who did the extra shift paid? BTW, i know of places outside Africa where they do internal arrangements without any problems. A covers for B today or this week and vice versa. Well, what do i know.
i'm not sure i got the temptation properly here? The slot is covered up by an agreed internal arrangement. The duty is done, not abandoned. Maybe i didn't get the scene properly though.
elated177: To the women, if your husbands are experts in burying their faces between your legs, it is more than likely that they are also experts in giving other men MouthAction. Unnatural sexual practices.
This hasty generalization spoilt the thing. They are not connected, neither is this found anywhere in the Word of God. Only things like witches confessing make all these unfounded additions. A witch's confession or a tale of someone who died and came again don't count as the Word or mind of God.
alphaNomega: my parents are not omnipresent or omniscient. You claim your imaginary god is, so in this fairy tale, why did he choose not to stop his creation from downfall?
Because people don't pass exams by having parents/guardians do them or interrupt.
LordReed: Yet we flush them away because we don't want them around. Do you flush away your valuables everyday? I repeat, frequency is not synonymous with value. I talk every damn day about fairytales because I enjoy it, doesn't mean I place some great value on the tales.
i insist that they are not mere, it's up to you to make them invaluable. Some people would kill you if you tried touching or taking their feaces. You certainly don't talk about fairytales every day. When last did you discuss Snowwhite with anyone or Pinocchio? Can you talk about Peppapig for years unending on nairaland.com? Even religions would bore you silly, but your waking thoughts remain about what next to read about Jehovah and how next to pretend He is unreal and guilty.
There is no point making a wild gambled guess when there are established results of the project. God sowed a seed or two, and He reaps uncountable billions of saints. That's good success. Why would i argue about throw ins and dribbles in a game that has a clear score line?
alphaNomega: So why did God supervise Adam and Eve taking the fruit?
Because He is omnipresent and omniscient, duh. Was He supposed to hide or run away? Did your parents run into the exam hall to write your jamb for you?
LordReed: You said a wizard and I gave you the definition you asked me to go find. Wizard has multiple means so to say it is naivety or dishonesty to point it out can only be some sort of projection. Again I ask you what is this evil since I don't believe in such things, can you detail what evil this sorcerer you want to marry to my daughter does.
Okay good, main point made and established. Now to the evils of witchcraft. Witchcraft practice is diabolic as they themselves lay claims to committing all sorts of atrocities like destroying lives, marriages, families, causing retrogression, accidents, killings, and worshipping devils and all sorts of things. These are some of the things people in that class claim to do. Again, we both established your unbelief and allowance of your family to participate despite billions of other people cringing. In a similar way, you and some are cringing over what is nothing to God.
LordReed: How many percent of all the people who have been alive so far do you think will be harvested? Can you hazard a guess?
It will be a wild guess as we both don't know. What we both know is that one man or two (Eve included) as a seed produce an innumerable number of saints. It's a thumbs up investment for me.
alphaNomega: The fact Eve already ate the fruit and was alive to tell Adam was enough evidence for him to try for himself.
I don't know why you keep blaming the victims (Adam and Eve ) in this story and absolve the real villain, the omnipresent god, for masterminding their sufferings.
If you take it a step further, god could have even been the one that sent the serpent to deceive them. You know, like how it happened in the story of Job, but let me not deviate from the story as it is written. After all, it is a fairy tale.
If you attempt to study, you would see that Adam was not deceived and that you are on a pointless ramble.
LordReed: It was you that said all have sinned, abi sinned doesn't mean spoilt again? If it doesn't then why do you need a salvation or harvest, why not take everything.
i refer to God's project of the human race, you seem to refer to the human race. The human race is spoilt whatever you and the Bible mean, God's project for the human race is in full gear and yielding quality harvest/result.
The meaning I showed has nothing to do with evilnor with religion. You should have given your own religious definition. If they accuse my family of witchcraft I would have the same attitude, witchcraft with supernatural powers doesn't exist.
The so called logic is hinged on God and belief in Him so let's put in the proper and complete perspectives. A sorcerer has everything to do with evil and religion, it is either naivety or dishonesty to say otherwise. You still prove the point though, you know which witchcraft is referred to. You don't consider it terrible enough to stop your daughter from going into it, a huge multitude of billion others would cringe. In the other hand now, you are cringing about God watching Adam fail his test, He did not consider it the end of the world like you seem to.
LordReed: Adam is not real neither is your god so I don't know what reality you refer to. These question we are discussing are merely academic except that you believe in them.
This guy keeps getting more foolish ni sha, what is all this now? When are you Bintas going to actually do something worthwhile instead of gnashing teeth like blackface about how some people stole your jesus?
Nigeria is made up of many unfortunate people. See what people are celebrating and asking to become president. So building government house is a criterion for the presidency. SMH
LordReed: With the god concept it is necessary to point out the faulty logic within the concept. You guys present something and I use your presentation to show where the logic breaks down. It is you fellows who are invested in the mythos who can be cognitively dissonant about it, I have no investment in it so cannot be. It is baked into the meaning of cognitive dissonance.
You conveniently forget that it is not sustained by logic but by reality. Why do you eternally attempt to nail a fictional god without the faintest attempt to nail a fictional Adam? Quite funny.
LordReed: The question was what you personally would do, not what a fictional character would.
I asked you for a definition of wizard you refused, I brought one that has nothing to do with evil or abominable practices suddenly you now have a definition of wizard that suits your own narrative. You should have defined wizard instead of waiting to sneak in your own definition.
You are asking to nail and null God and belief in God, yes or yes? So, let's put in all the proper adjoinings and perspectives na.
i subscribe to your 1st definition na. That's the main definition of witch and wizard that we know and in context with religion section. Which one is my own definition, if they accuse your family members of witchcraft, se you will be asking for definition or talking about sneaking definition?
