Yield: JeSoul, your egusi soup and spaghetti squash dish looks great!

adaobi123: seconded, i want to eat the screen

Aww thank you sisters you are invited to jesouls kitchen any day .

redsun: Could george bush have been this patient with north korea in the face of all these rascally rants? Is Obama doing the right ignoring the hitler type leader and not striking firt?

...but why should America "strike first"? America will strike if there is a real, present threat - not just the blabbings of a boy on a power rush.

alfaman2: Ok. thanks. Point taken. I will open a thread on the competence of the Nazareth guy soon.

I hope sexuality section admin don't send my god sex thread to this section where you delete it and ban again thus defeating the purpose.

Cool sir. You welcomes. Open your threads, long as they pass the smell test, both here & in sexuality, no wahala dude. Cheerios.

okeyxyz: @Goshen has been saying that you can have sexx with anybody you have agreed to marry, this is true and allowed as that is as far as his conscience allows him to, but i take further that you don't need marriage or a promise of marriage to have s.ex with anybody, as long as you are both single, "adult", and consenting.

I'm going to break with my usual spectatorial mode and inject here...also throwing diplomacy to the wind to match the gravity of the quote above. And for whatever my thoughts are worth...I could not in stronger, firmer, and more emphatic terms condemn the above assertion (without condemning bro Okeyxyz) as a serious manipulation of scripture to fit a very twisted ideology on christian virtue and sexuality.

I won't go into scriptures because anyone can use the bible to back up anything - if you twist scripture hard enough it will fit whatever you say. You don't need a bible to tell you sleeping around and "having s.ex with anybody" is ungodly, sharply inconsistent & thoroughly incompatible with Christ-like values. And the very notion of attempting to justify this with scripture is just honestly ridiculous or worse, a deliberate seduction away from basic christian values that is symptomatic of the depraved times we are in.

Professing christians, Ya'll berra shine your collective eyes. And don't use the freedom from Christ, as a license for immorality.

---

Okeyxyz, please don't construe that^ as an attack. You laid out your beliefs. And in the interest of younger christians reading, witness & balance had to be provided. So that when we all stand before God, there will be no excuse for us all. Especially those of us who added, substracted or performed extrapolations of His otherwise very simple word. Godbless.

[quote author=smartg ]@ moderator, if you ban someone in a particular section will it affect the person in other section.[/quote]Nope it won't. Unless you're banned sitewide by the admin - and you would've had to have been very very bad to earn that.

alfaman2: OK JeSoul. Good. Let's try again.
Can you please answer me simply the following:
I want to open one or two threads discussing the incompetence and sexuality of Jesus. Can I?

See the word in bold - that I can tell you is already an antagonistic begining almost certain to provoke insults. These are inherently very sensitive issues so the way you phrase/word makes all the difference. And by the way, all sexual/sexuality topics are to be moved to the sexuality section so you wouldn't be able to discuss that here anyways.

Cheers brother.

alfaman2: Well, you know very well who I am. (not Somalia,...gods forbid)

Ah! it is you. Issues aside, glad you are live & well dude .

If you know that, then you should know that I would be doing a disservice to my Master if my posts stops being offensive to the worshippers of the hanged one. I know you hate it but that is not the point.
The point is: am I as a holder of the opposite views of christians allowed to air my opposing views here and ask disturbing questions?
You say I am, but your actions say otherwise.

You absolutely are sir. And if you say my actions prove otherwise, then I would've also banned & hidden posts from other non-christians, en masse.

You talked about my language and delivery. I made very sure not to mention any god when I posted that. Even Jesus didn't hang alone but were with two other men on their crosses. My picture could have been either of them or another person altogether but somehow you convinced yourself I was talking about Jesus your Lord.

I reiterate, whatever you think, I was not talking about Jesus Christ, your Lord that died to save you. You just think I do and that is what bothers me. That you liken your omnipotent god to an incompetence on a tree. I am wondering which of us should be banned.

now you're truly patronizing me (and everyone else who may be reading), this is a two-step dance of high quality lol. You know (and even acknowledged it in your opening paragraph) when you're being offensive - and you do it on purpose.

I know that manner of delivery is very important and I have been trying to change my ways since my Logic Mind days but christian hatred cannot let me be.

I know and I have mentioned it before that I truly appreciate your efforts. Do not let the occasional fanatic christian bait you into a mud-throwing contest. I believe we can all get along here, respectfully. And I hold you and everyone else to the basic rules of conversation - respect!

Cheers brother.

[quote author=Joel.]the wise men are the persian king who are well know of ocult' they are the magi or magos. which means magician. that is where the english borrow the word magic from. the star they saw was not in the physical body but spiritual. the star stood ontop of the child jesus and only them can sees it.
the persian is known of predicting the destinies, or see future invent. i will explain more some other day. i have to go now.[/quote]Interesting take. I was discussing this with hubby the other day. Infact my exact question was how did the magi know exactly which 'house' to go if the star was "in the sky"?

There are a few theories out there. One including that the "star" was actually a rare planetary allignment that "pointed" the way. Others postulate a supernova. A key point, is the fact that Herod (and others) probably couldn't see it - hence asking them to report back when they find the King instead of simply trying to find the King themselves. But maybe "see" not necessarily mean physical sight or, seeing in this context may mean physically seeing it and also being able to understand & 'interpret' what they were seeing.

Here's a link to several interesting theories: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/3077385/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/astronomers-still-wondering-about-star-wonder/

When you have more time, pls do share some more thoughts. Cheers.

chukkynwob: Thanks dearie. We thank God its been peace since then,but then we now sleep with one eye open, got three rottweilers too...*we are our own FG now*.

...and I quietly hope you're packing a piece a two underneath your mattress. Make we see the next lunatic that will try and inflict harm on innocent people minding their own business in their own houses. Gosh, I despise evil doers.

Enigma: ^^^ But there have been worse --- and there still will be worse! Even I pointed to one example recently: https://www.nairaland.com/1206607/surprised-no-one-posted

Which makes faithers like yourself & Ihe even more amazing ...naija needs people like you not me!

Meanwhile, such foolishness occurs in 'developed' countries too; only that if/when discovered, there will be apparent remorse and the public outcry will probably be bigger.

oooohhh...commot dia jor such 'foolishness' occurs everywhere human beings are...but the naija brand is in-disputably one of a kind.

alfaman2: ^^^ I can see that divergent views and opinions are not tolerated on this forum. At least mine aren't.

Au contraire my friend. Or else more than 90% of posters here would be banned. Lemme try to address your points:

alfaman2: No, babe. I didn't know that a drawing of a crucifix is now considered offensive here. Good to know.

Except there are some other threads with crucifix drawings that didn't get the same treatment that I did.
Anyway, I'm not surprised. You are afterall a christian.

Actually it isn't - which is why similar threads did not get deleted.

The big big difference between yours and theirs is language & delivery. Yours sir, clearly clearly was worded and phrased in a deliberate attempt to offend - and you know you cannot deny it sir. Others were done in the spirit of Easter and respectfully hence left.

alfaman2: If I remember well, when I commented in christian threads, you hid my comments and banned me, and you JeSoul, told me that I can open my own threads and air my own views there and nobody would disturb me. How come you ban me for doing exactly what you adviced?

Would you rather I asked questions about Jesus' sexuality in christian threads or is it a completely taboo discussion on Nairaland?

And I mean/meant every single word sir (pls remind me who you are since this is a new ID, perhaps my dude advocate666?). But what you have been doing on your own threads is insulting/offending others faiths. I know you can make your opinions well known without using obviously caustic, inciting language & images. There are many non-christians here who do so everyday.

Thanks for your questions and your anticipated co-operation sir.
Cheers. or if you're like Somalia9 no cheers.

Nice topic!

@Joel, what materials do you have in support?

I think we will find out on that glorious day, that God has people in every tribe, nation, and yes even 'religion'. Didn't Jesus say that He had sheep of other flock and He would bring us all together.

Enigma: As far as I can see, the piece basically repeats what perceptive people have known for decades and basically says the same things 'every one' says: "there is a serious problem". Of course every one knows that.

The bone of contention on this thread has been: is that serious problem insoluble and, not only that, is it eternally insoluble?

...with Nigeria replaying like a broken record with stories like these everyday: https://www.nairaland.com/1225198/akpabio-defends-wedding-gifts-tuface

and nothing ever happens after the dust and initial shouting quiets down.

chukkynwob: Bro, couldn't it have been primarily for economic reasons that they chose Lekki? On the average a heist in Lekki should yield more rewards than same operation in Ajegunle .

Honestly if deepsight didn't show up another person would have showed up or they would have switched to plan B.

I am personally grieved by Deepsight's story because about that same time last year,we were virtually woken by armed robbers.

They meticulously cut the barbed wire on our fence,cut the burglarly proof bars on the windows without making a sound till they were in the house at that point,I could initiate any evasive or counter-attacking plans.

Anyway we were robbed,laptops,jewellery ,phones,the whole 9yards.

Thankfully there was no rape incidence and all

We went to the police station to lodge an incidence report,just for official documentation purposes the police insisted they will visit the crime scene(we had to pick up their transportation bill), let me not bore you with the whole details.

My main point is THE VICTIM IS JUST A VICTIM.

Sorry about what happened to you brother...hope no such occurence since then and hopefully in the future.

manmustwac: @Alfamann
I had to look for it but I eventually found it. JeSoul closed it & put it in the recycle bin. That picture of Jesus nailed to the cross looks to offensive

He won't be able to reply. I just banned him...he's been a bit of a troublemaker for a while now and the latest thread he opened is the last straw...check his log.

@my brothers Strikly & Richie...wetin pesin go do? lol... some days patience comes easier than others, yday must've been an easy day .

Alfamann: Dear moderators,

Can someone please explain to me why my thread about the pallid incompetence on a tree was deleted? That post did not mention anybody or any god.

It was just a photo, in fact, a drawing by a friend about how an incompetent man could be hanged and worshipped. It didn't break any rule nor insult anybody.

Please why was it banned?

It was offensive - and you know it.

somalia9: JeSoul the negroattitude you have shown me, you shall regret one day, i promise you black one.

#I'mconfused. #apologies.
and here I was thinking I was courteous the whole time. Silly me rabbit.

[quote author=Table Leg ]Aint nothing mama.... Just outhere to holla [/quote]and a holla is always appreciated sir! muchos gracias hombre

somalia9: cheers. wtf u so happy about?

hmmm... saying "cheers" at the end of a sentence doesn't connote "happiness"...it is simply a salutation, much like "regards" "all the best" "sincerely" etc etc...

but lemme fix it:

^True. Another option is to post in the Nairaland section here: https://www.nairaland.com/nairaland

If you have a comment/complaint you can reach the admin there. Cheers .

[quote author=Table Leg ]Hey Jesoul .... [/quote]Was cracking homeboy?

somalia9: i cant post cause am banned....it only gives me an option to follow

^True. Another option is to post in the Nairaland section here: https://www.nairaland.com/nairaland

If you have a comment/complaint you can reach the admin there. Cheers.

somalia9: dude how was i offensive....i just strayed away from the topic, am muslim dude are you kidding me


i could easily create a new username, but am offended that you think am offending islam when am a muslim

Young sir, calm down sir.

I am simply explaining it to you. The mods here are not in charge of the Islam section - there are muslim mods in charge of their section and they are the ones who decide what is offensive/not offensive for themselves/muslims. You can reach the muslim mods here: https://www.nairaland.com/288134/lodge-complaints-here

somalia9: i was discussing islam, and because i changed topics i got banned, why?

Is it because I am Somali,


All i asked was why west africans dont cover their hair? wtf

I'm sure you must've seen the warning before posting in the Islam section? "to avoid being banned, ensure your post is not offensive to Islam"? margin for error in the muslim section is different from other sections and those who want to post there have to adjust. The mods there are in charge of the section.

It has nothing to do with your nationality as NL has many many non-nigerians posting regularly here. Cheers.

This is the general religion section somalia9. To reach the mods there go here: https://www.nairaland.com/288134/lodge-complaints-here
