kristen12:
Where they engaged in Nigeria politics?

anywhere in the world, politics is generally corrupt princess, Nigeria is not an exception. these people mentioned were involved in leadership positions in the government of their days

kennygee:
Pastor Kumuyi did not lie now.

I don't see how an anointed man of God can engage in Nigerian Politics without soiling his hands.

you do not see because you are blind dear





lemme help you: go look up the story of Nehemiah, mordecai, esther, joseph, daniel and the three hebrew boys

davien:
He's the "if I don't believe it, it's not true" category...

MY BELIEF IS MY REALITY.......hope this helps

I can see clearly now

johnydon22:
a simple google search would have helped you but no you prefer blind belief of jewish mythology..

Wikipedia encyclopedia [b] Origins
See also: Panbabylonism
The Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, composed about 2500 BC, contains
a flood story almost exactly the same as the Noah story in the Pentateuch,
with a few variations such as the number of days of the deluge, the order
of the birds, and the name of the mountain on which the ark rests. The
flood story in Genesis 6–8 matches the Gilgamesh flood myth so closely
that "few doubt that [it] derives from a Mesopotamian account." [10] What
is particularly noticeable is the way the Genesis flood story follows the
Gilgamesh flood tale "point by point and in the same order", even when the
story permits other alternatives. [11]
The earliest written flood myth is found in the Mesopotamian Epic of
Atrahasis and Epic of Gilgamesh texts. "These mythologies are the source
of such features of the biblical Flood story as the building and provisioning
of the ark, its flotation, and the subsidence of the waters, as well as the
part played by the human protagonist." [12] The Encyclopedia Judaica
adds that there is a strong suggestion that[/b]

try and research more...

and below is a picture of the explanation as given by the New Community Bible ..

mr oga! whet my appetite first before I do my own research ok. I am not impressed at what u put up already. give me links to the Gilgamesh original account of flooding so I can objectively read and get back to you. not some wikipedia write up (I fit edit article on wikipedia sef).




I cant do your wirk fir u sir

davien:
You don't speak for everyone and I get what you're doing with the term "believe"..
You're basically using tautology as an escape tactic to meander around topics...
And to that I'll simply point out(once again) that reality is not contingent on belief(that-is things don't become true because you believe it, they are independent of your belief)...
So either tell me what's "confusing" you instead of replying with an empty response like "try to get your facts right"

I am just trying to be objective really cos this is the first time I am hearing of gilgamesh and the rest. i wanted you to convince me and you have not sir(u can try again) and from your comments I tried to understand your believe system because we all have wat we believe in like u cited geology.



so lemme ask again. what do u believe in?

davien:
For starters I don't have to believe either because the reality of the past is not contingent on my belief....
And geology does not support such wild tales..
You can't have a worldwide flood and have unique geographic structures and their respective animals living in distinct habitats with no identical fossil were it shouldn't be...

you do believe in geology.....I see.......do u believe in the geologic time scale too?


try to get ur facts right before u post here next time, you only got people more confused on your take on the gigamesh saga.

johnydon22:
He is saying that the gilgemesh fable is a myth from whence the bible's account was copied and reworked ...

substantiate ur claims sir

davien:

What is particularly noticeable is the way the Genesis flood story follows the Gilgamesh flood tale "point by point and in the same order", even when the story permits other alternatives.

In a 2001 Torah commentary released on behalf of the Conservative Movement of Judaism, rabbinic scholar Robert Wexler stated:

"The most likely assumption we can make is that both Genesis and Gilgamesh drew their material from a common tradition about the flood that existed in Mesopotamia. These stories then diverged in the retelling."

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh

when u say 'follow' wat exactly do u mean? are you sayin gilgamesh (or watever u call it) flood event happened before the bible's.
which account do u believe in gilgamesh or genesis(bible)

davien:
Evidence sites they were inspired by previous incarnation of myths....like the epic of gilgamesh and ancient pre-judaic legends like the coming of immanuel....

can you site a specific example to support your 'evidence'

davien:
The numerous authors of the bible are long dead...

reason comes to play here again.....kudos.....look at it this way. the people who wrote the bible were inspired to do so(u just have to agree to this fact), my question is; do you know who/what inspired them?

puntersmind:
Lol. If your email deserves a reply, you would have gotten one.

I sent you a mail too. I hope it delivered *confused*

davien:
It's funny that you'd think I wouldn't know that you were highlighting a verse in the "bible"..
And I think if you'd like to draw out your "bible", then do so instead of putting your tongue in your cheek and missing one verse after the other...

ur knowledge of the bible is impressive....do you or use to have a relationship with the author of the bible?

"A foolish God says in his heart, there are no other Gods" - logicboy03

better luck next time

davien:
Well...If you're a christian...that's what you're bro believe...
But if you aren't then that statement becomes nonsensical...because the bible is riddled with foolish ideas....like how birds blood could cure leprosy and how stars can be trampled on...

hmmm....... I didnt mention the bible in my initial post cos I wanted people like u to figure it out.lemme now quote another powerful one to answer you. 'the message of the cross is foolishness to them that are perishing but to usward is the power of God'.

I still would v preferred u had not mentioned the bible but now that u have. maybe we should talk about the book small na

a fool says in his heart 'there's no God'. does this mean atheist are fools?

johnwell:
I hereby point out that your interpretation is misleading, they are wrong, you are not permitted to interpret here, I saw you advertising your thread on dreams, why can't you go there and concentrate? Anyone that accept your interpretation is on his/her own risk..... they are wrong, I called you yesterday you refused answering the call, neither did you return the call until this moment. Please leave this thread alone.

Thanks

I beg to disagree, @folaski has not misled me so far. if you want him to leave fine, he should leave but know this. 'faithful is he that has called'

I had this dream in the week my mother passed on(was an undergraduate then). I saw myself in chains totally helpless in what looked like a dark coven filled with fierce looking women. I was in their midst and all of a sudden my mother appeared with a bible in her hand and she started rebuking them in Jesus name. suddenly a door opened and the witches (more than one) left the 'coven' with my mother. simultaneously the chains were broken but I was kind of contemplating whether to run out thru the door or stay when somebody came in thru the door a young girl who told me my mother asked her to give me a fresh fish soup then I woke up.
coincidently, she went to buy pepper (grounded) and fresh fish on the day she passed on. please prayerfully help me with this ( recent ones will come soon)

ebankole:
Well,according to you' 2007'
It's means; being led astrayed from the path of righteousness, deliverance or holiness.
As water signifies 'holiness or the spirit of the living water(jesus). At this time? This was purged out of you and you left God for the world, and I hope you are back to him(jesus)NOW!....?

Glory be to jesus.
Bless u
And happy sunday to you ALL!!!

thanks for that interpretation sir, may God bless you. this is another one

I had a dream that I saw myself and my colleagues from secondary school in a school compound. while they were busy writing an exam, it seemed I was outside and when I realised my state. someone whose face I didnt recall told me to run and catch up with them, as I made to run and meet up while following a bush path, I saw what looked like a white unicorn (horse or goat with horn) and I became afraid and ran back another path in the bush, only this time I saw a very black goat, it frightened me too and it seems to be speaking words I do not understand, it came nearer and I woke up(i had this dream sometime in 2008/2009). thanks for your help sir.



I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling
