Hmmm I wonder why they're all black men . . .

bawomolo:
bob sanders out indefinitely. what a shocker.

this dude is getting paid to do nothing

I wonder how I can get in on such a deal.

  I nor even talk anything about the Colts getting downed good by the rubbish Texans. I hope it is a sign of things to come for the rest of the season 

MyJoe no problem. Sorry if I sounded irritated yday. I've been running the same all-day experiment for 2 weeks and the darn thing is not working. Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve an acid-enhanced Protein A ELISA assay?

Banned for life? Isn't that rather harsh for a 17 year old?

If he's old enough to drink and type, then he's old enough for the consequences.

I've seen a total of 10mins of Gangs on NY.

However, I have seen The Departed, Devil's Advocate (freaky movie), Heat and Sherlock. I don't remember if I've seen Ronin or not. Anyways, any of the above is foine with moi. Obinna, Vesc, Vjnr, JK, Ijaw make una pick.

davidif:

^how much are you paying me? 

1 Pet 5: 1-6 "To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
   "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

  I think more than anything, submission is a two-way street. And I think also think that its not so much submitting to the person but rather the word of God that the person speaks or the godly wisdom they demonstrate.

Ahn ahn Kobi, wetin Peter Parker do you (or no do you) now? lol.

Okay suggest a movie, I'm not overly keen on Spidey anyways. We're trying to find something everyone has watched.

Golden? hmm . . . depends on the context.

Can someone send out smoke signals to try to get JK's attention?

Omofat and OLA, e don do now

On second read through my last posts, I can see how I may have come off as saying "no submission to church leadership whatsoever". So MyJoe no vex, I was writing from a point of view I understood but may not have translated across efficiently. So my apologies on that. Cheers.

KunleOshob:
@enigma
I would have expected you to address the issues raised by deepsight instead of raining insults on the poor chap.

DS is hardly a "poor chap" Kunle, hardly

. . . all these Conspiracy theories. When you have some solid facts come back to the market place of information and I'm more than certain more people (whether blacks or "whites in disguise") will be willing to buy from you. Until then, all this speculation or "could have been" is just fodder.

Obinna, abeg let him hold his peace jare

Next, back to the Spiderman Trilogy?

MyJoe:
@nuclearboy, alatheia, InesQor
I share your view on this matter of submission. I only set out to point out that JeSoul’s initial position, namely that the Bible did not mandate submission to pastors and church leaders, was not an accurate echo of the Bible’s position on the matter and was, therefore, thoroughly misguided. The Bible mandates submission. Unfortunately the verses hardly qualify this submission, but then one should not be a literalist and conclude that the writers of those verses had unqualified loyalty to “MOGs”, even when they derail, in mind; since Paul warned the Galatian Christians not to become slaves of men or let anyone rule their religious lives.

The problem is that the making of fine distinctions is highly subjective and can be way too much trouble. That is why the vast majority of Christians will stick to these verses and submit all the way.

Oh dear. Perhaps MyJoe if you had taken my entire post you would not have made that incorrect conclusion.

JeSoul:
Few things tick me off more than this.

  When I'd go to different churches to do music/poetry, I'd get asked all the time by mostly elderly folks (Godbless them) "who's your pastor?" "who's spiritual headship are you under?". The question always annoys me. It insinuated 2 things:
  1- that if a christian is not "under the authority" of some pastor somewhere they are somehow illegitimate christians. And
  2- that I must've acquired the scriptural knowledge that I displayed from a pastor. As if it were impossible to learn by studying the bible for oneself.

Please where is the scriptural directive that demands the submission of christians to pastors?

in light of the preceeding points 1 & 2 - I proceeded to ask the question - where is the scriptural directive for submission in the context of the points 1 & 2. You then posted verses, to which I said no they don't speak of submission in regards to points 1 & 2. Perhaps if I had articulated myself better (or you hadn't plucked out just the last question out of context) this would've been avoided.

ROTFLOL!!!!! "21 nights of Total Elimination" LOL . . . oh gosh . . . I can't stop laughing

rikkyjen:
Comrade Jesoul, you didn't tell me you were a closet commie!

And give away all my secrets? My name is Salt Pepper, and I'm a Russian spy. You wanna try?  

Seriously now, Chairman Fidel said " The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore". Duh, he is admitting the failure of communist economics!!

Before nko? So what is Cuba ? a mixed-market economy? Is Cuba not a communist state? Cuba is a communist haven and its communist model is not working anymore and you know it babes.

Cuba that employs 98% of his its citizems in a state controlled bureacuracy and rations food and ciggareets for its senior citizens. . .So why do you think that won't lead to a failure of "communist economics"?

Now that Fidel has had his utopian dreams fulfilled for the last 60 years, he is now whining? Seems padre has seen the light! Just as Gorbachev did!!!

Oga, there is no "duh" here at all at all. The dude simply said "the Cuban model doesn't work for us anymore" . . .  after adding plenty of flour, sugar, spice, nutmeg and yeast, then thoroughly baked at 350 degrees for an hour, then it can be stretched and interpreted as "Castro admits communist economics a failure. It is sensationalist journalism jare.

BTW, JeSoul, I got a new sizzling Federal Job in Boston. . . . U mind if your Proletarian-Red Army-castro loving self show me around and have dinner with me?
And yo(going ghetto on ya) I aint paying shyte!!!. Cos your proletariat backside finna split the bill with me cos youse a practicing communist!!!!

Dinner with a commie? you're going to throw all your democratic convictions right out the window? common now Rikkygenerator. And oh, me I don't split checks oh, I pay the whole thing . By the ways, you need to let me in on this federal cake . . . I'm trying to break into that market. Those guys retire at 45 on two pensions. The private sector is so over-rated.

Oh dear . . . .

Anyways, omofat, I appreciate the time you took to write that response. You may good points, and it is thinking like that that indeed makes the world a better place . . . unfortunately at the same time, it is thinking like that that also enables the less than noble to take advantage of the noble.

Perhaps we should be "better" than the terrorists . . . but I have given up on that a long time ago.

We have gone past ordinary recession, waka thru double recession, now we don dey talk double-dip recession. Man, we're moving up levels.

doyin13:
Okay. . .so how long before Andy Reid realise Vick should be starter.

One more INT or 1 more failed 3rd down conversion from Kolb or rioting from Philly fans. Andy Reid is stubborn. They'll all be crying for McNabb come mid-season.

Bawo stop dissing Tebow. La diva Cutler will be begging to tie his laces as a 3rd stringer behind him in a few years all that lazer-arm technology talk, we never see anyting yet

rikkyjen:
