It's soul-lifting to be with you, brethren.

Blessings!

In other words, unity is lacking in the churches.

If I believe in the Catholic church, but a member of Christ Arsenal because I believe in them too and because we serve the same God and both churches preach the Word, am I still not eligible to receive communion in either of the churches?

If you believed in the Catholic Church, you would be an actively practising Catholic. Meaning you would live your spiritual life as taught by the Church. E.g You would go to mass every Sunday and other Holy days, you would go to confession if you committed any serious sins, also you would believe that when Christ Arsenal says that Holy Communion is only a symbol of Jesus, they are wrong etc...then you would be eligible to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church.

What the Catholic Church distributes at every mass is Jesus himself and we receive him with utmost reverence.

Giving him to people who believe that he is mere biscuit...would be sacrilegious.

I hope you can understand.

Id.iot

Times? No. There is one and only a time when you can hit your spouse. The other idiots gave examples like if she acted silly or tongue lashed them, they would hit her. I disagree because in both circumstances you can always WALK AWAY. (Check out TheSonofMa.rk post, he is the only who commented with a clear head)

Women do not hold the monopoly of acting silly. Many married MEN also do because they think themselves as gods and they are also Han therefore highly likely to also act silly. Also the fact that I have met men who would win a tongue lashing competition if they were to compete with women, gave me the right to say tongue lashing is no reason to hit a woman.

The summary of what you're saying is that it can be justified to hit a woman.

tidinat:
Its NEVER right to beat a woman.

Even if she's strangling you to death.

Justfollowit:

If a woman should hit you, hit her back. However if you hit a woman because you are husband and her provider, you should be shot to death.

How did the bold enter the discussion?

Who ever hit a woman because he is the husband?

The issue is that there are times when it can be justified to hit a woman. Period.

And you just agreed to that.

Justfollowit:
You wouldn't even dare

I don't give a fvck about Human lives not to mention that of a beast.

I would gladly end your miserable life if you dared.

So you know how to kill if you're beaten...

...but if a woman beats me I should go away and cry in bed...

This kind of reasoning is disgraceful.

Adesiji77:
Thanks for sharing this...

CC: Ishilove

You're welcome.

It is never okay for a man to beat a woman...

...except if she beats my mother...or aborts my child without telling me...or beats me...or does one of the other million things that can make it okay to beat a woman.

Then, it would be okay to panel-beat a woman.

AmINotHuman:
Thank you. Seems like she's speaking from a moral high ground rather than actual documented research. So the developed countries that legalised medical abortion don't know what they're doing abi?

mmsen:
There are millions of women who contract cancer who have never had an abortion.

Where is their peer reviewed medical paper supporting their claim?

And why are some people deadset on pushing population growth at all costs? What benefit do you derive from living in an overpopulated place?


P.S.
That link is dead.

http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/index/

In that link, you'll find scientific journals and reviews saying that abortion is linked to high rate of breast cancer. The authorities are only deliberately suppressing the truth because it is contrary to their agenda which is simply to foster a Culture of Death where Life is derided and terminated as much as possible.

Like I said, I don't talk about religion with fools

Like I said...

Of course, your kind (IsIs, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Al Qaeda, Al Nusa front etc) don't talk.

You kill and rape!

abduljabbar4:
I don't conversate with fools when it comes to religion.

Of course, your kind (IsIs, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Al Qaeda, Al Nusa front etc) don't conversate.

You kill and rape.

boladeen:
And the brainbox behind all these?

I give you a clue: "his name starts with an "M".

Mcowubaba:
Do u have idea whether any of does denominations u mentioned- support or preach Violence nd instigate terrorism (like boko haram, IsIs, taliban e.t.c)

Shows and Sunnies are equally violent.

The whole Muslim world is full of Shia and Sunnis engaging in senseless killings of each other and non muslims.

Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Somalia, Northern Nigeria, Kenya, Tunisia, etc.

abduljabbar4:
I'm already tired mehn. I am a graduate in islamic studies. Among all the subjects I didn't see anything that encourages rraping or violence. I'm just wondering why they are doing these but let them continue. We will all die one day and since it is a sin in both christianity and Islam, they will be punished in any way

You graduated in Islamic Studies and didn't see anything encouraging violence and rape?

It is either you're lying or "Islamic Studies" doesn't include reading the Quran and Hadiths.

Do you want me to show examples of Muhammad himself perpetrating those evils?

Laygos:
Thank you very much 4 ur replys. I appreciate

you're welcome

freeradical:
To answer your question op, the holy communion in the catholic church is a sacrament that signifies the actual body and blood of our lord Jesus Christ. Other christian denominations do not agree to the fact that it is rather some say it's a mere representation of it. So before anyone can receive the communion he is expected to have faith in what he is about to receive. Non Catholics have the faintest idea of what our holy communion signifies hence it's only normal asking them not to receive until they come to its full knowledge and in faith accept what it represents. Comprende

Just to emphasize what you're saying.

Holy Communion is the body and blood of Christ. Some novice might misunderstand the word "signify" to mean "representation."

Great answer still.

Change2015:
You understand this. The binis acknowledge their historical ties to lagos and the Yorubas, but they have never made any noise about lagos being a no man's land, or made any claims to it. That is a significant difference.

#change
#GMB
#APC
#oneNigeria

Yes. Perhaps the Binis left the 'noise making' to the Lagos State Govt. It was they thar said Lagos is no man's land.

quickly:
Thats wat im saying because he was a stranger all they could say was o dudu--means he was very black which also tallys with the fact that egyptians were extremly black then. he was displaced from eqypt after egypt was attacked by mohammedans in a boko haram style


according to the story

Oduduwas son (oranmiyan)went to bini as a prince and on getting their seeing his regalia they made him king. he later left bini or was chased out by the bini ppl and move backed to oyo to become the first alafin.

He left one of his sons who later became the first oba of bini which is oba eweka

Oba Eweka was one of the wealthiest kings then from being a slave merchant and also oranmiyan left him with a lot of cowries thus he was able to fund the expansion of benin empire

Egypt was invaded by Arabs in the 7th century.

Oduduwas grandson, Eweka 1, was Oba from 1200AD.

Are you telling me that Oduduwa lived more than 500years before his grandson?

Also, what happened to Oduduwas Egyptian name? He lost it on the way from Cairo?

Yoruba, your lie doesn't add up.

quickly:
O dudu --meaning the dudu means black and it sounds means he was very black in yoruba or the very black man-- i dont know if thats correct

ODuduwa was from kermit in egypt and settled in ile ife

the first oba of bini was one of oduduwas first son and he arrived in bini in regalia and in a timely manner to coincide with oracle

Oba is a yoruba word for King

Just like we have names such as

Obafemi---which means the king loves me

Obasola; the king makes wealth

and finially

Obama--translate that one

1. You have said that you dunno if you're correct about your meaning of Oduduwa.

We both know you're just trying hard to manufacture a yoruba meaning for it. 1. The intonation of "o dudu" doesn't rhyme with the way "oduduwa" is pronounced. I speak yoruba so I know. We both know. 2. There are many names in Benin that are similar to "oduduwa." adequate, omojuwa, uwagboe, uwaifo, because Uwa means wealth. You can't give ife names similar to oduduwa because he was a stranger. Give me Egyptian names like oduduwa...none.

Also tell me when oduduwa ruled, let's cross-check with history.



Oduduwas son was a Bini man who came to his homeland to assume his position as king.

dapsonlou:
This boy is mad, Benin send a trade Expeditions to Ghana by sea? From which port please? From Ondo or from Warri. Lagos was part of Ogun people Land, Ikeja was Ogun state till the 1950S AGEGE TO OSHODI WAS ogun state. Them Obanikoro your claim came from Benin to help are from Ogun state, it wasn't ogun state then they were call AraEgba meaning Egba people. Park well Jor

1. Which boy is mad? Lagos Govt?

2. You obviously know nothing about the Benin Empire at the height of its powers. The Benin Empire extended from today's Edo/Delta to Benin Republic.

You think Benin Empire was only Benin City of today...because you refuse to educate yourself.

azzima:
BIAFRANS, BIAFRANS, BIAFRANS!!!!. how many times did I call you. Leave this fight alone and be smart with picking your fights. Haven't history taught you lessons? You are again fighting a claim that is farrrrr from your region. Even BINIS that have some similarities with Yorubas are not going crazy like you guys. OBVIOUSLY you don't learn from the past. Recent elections have proven further that you don't know how to fight your fights smartly like others. When few days ago you were the loudest mocking the king of your host(thought I don't support his statement) but you made it a point to mock him LOUDLY. Remember what happened to tHe igbos that were mocking the Hausas IN THE NORTH after the IGBO coup that killed their kings and leaders. The locals started slaughtering you. How can you mock your host in the own town about their murdered leaderseven a BABY knows better. But you guys are about to repeat the same mistake soon. Your enclaves in festac and alaba is nothing compared to the whole of Lagos state with with Obas and Baales. Will you bring masons from Onitsha to fight the agberos and OPC here? A word is ENOUGH

What exactly have Biafrans done and how are they picking a fight?

It wasn't Biafra that wrote that article, but Lagos State Govt.

AgentMS:
Bini man ko, Bini god ni.

you need to read up. Read up on oduduwa, oromifaa people, cushites and aksum in ethiopia.

It is from reading and thinking that I knew that Oduduwa is from Benin.

"Od'uwa" in Bini language means "road of prosperity."

Tell us: did Oduduwa fall from heaven? Around what year did he rule? What is the meaning of Oduduwa in Yoruba?

AgentMS:
Indeed.

No wonder the word ''OBA'' sneaked into Edo's lexicon.

Guy, Oduduwa did not fall from heaven. He came from Benin. Yorubas had to resort to that childish lie because they ashamed to admit that their god was a Bini man.

Oduduwa has no meaning in Yoruba.

abdall264:
The so called he-goats sorry Igbos don't even have a history, how parthetic. They claim to be from isreal. I laugh every time I think of it. Confessed bunch always trying to claim and associate with good things they didn't plan and work for.

And what is your history?

Oduduwa fell from heaven, not so?

dapsonlou:
Am Yoruba and I don't know any yoruba that is dirty, so my friend change your environment and the Kind of Yoruba you associate with . Upgrade

A dirty person wouldn't see other dirty people as dirty.

Waspy:
So much is lost......and so much more in our history.

Funny is it, that the site purportedly for the LaSG does not know what Eko means, the site knows nothing about that the Aworis and their ethnicity. and the funniest, the site professes a lost/unknown ancestral history of the state, an history that's known even to the whites


Let history be told....The old Benin empire never won nor lost any land that farther west...the Itsekhiris would have been closer to the claim. Binis had and believed in a stronghold and fortified kingdom and a gradual expansion of their kingdom with solid sociopolitical structures ( they would have conquered neighbours like the Ishan, Ekale, Urhobo and Isokos) coupled with the constant fears of loss of sovereignty and internal conflicts( part of which made way for the inclusion of the Yorubas into their history) So much of Yoruba was rubbed into the Benin history and Kingdom that even the title "Oba" reflects till date.
The Binis won't make such funny claims, save for the coveteous lost Israelites.

The Aworis, the Fon, the Ewe....stories for other days.

You are grossly uneducated in this matter.

The Yorubas are subjects to Binis.

Tell us the Yoruba meanings of Oduduwa and Eko...if you disagree.

chowlade:
by law u r right but in Enugu & Anambra no ibo man will ever say that 4 una Land cuz una selfish die

You assume. Anyone can also make wild assumptions about your tribe.

chowlade:
i knw u r ibos one of d hated tribes around d world continue to preach dat lagos is no mans land by d time they stated killing you people and taking ur dead bodies in body bags back 2 village 4 burial u will accept reality. i spit on you

no wonder why d hausa killed more than 5000 of una in d early 80s and ur dead bodies were conveyed by 9/11 back 2 village u accepted and leave their Land alone. ibos need iron hand no be by Mouth

There is no need to vent such anger and hatred on I or Igbos. We have done nothing to you.

It was neither of us that said 'Lagos is no man's land.' it was Lagos Govt that said so.

PenSniper:
Are you so dumb ? Which lagos state govt or the work of deranged imbeciles from the Southwest. Believe this and you will believe anything. Desperate scammers. Your end is near.

The link is the website of the Lagos State Govt.

You want me to believe you know Lagos history better than Lagos Govt?

dcaliph:
Proudly an Edo man, Op shey you know also that the Obi of Onisha is also from Bini lineage. Does that make Onisha a no man's land?

It is the Lagos Govt that says Lagos is no man's land, not me.

Ask them.
