...to brighten my mood. Though its made worse sometimes (when i'm nddyrized)..but its all good.

wich one be gen and brb...dis nor be shart rooom o


....(he contnued)...i watched as u were engolfed in that deep thought of yours. i knew something was amiss. My brother...there is no problem that is too much for Jesus to handle. He'll give u all u want if only u accept him into your life.
I didnt allow him to go further before I.....

Thats cool. Since u've met the mum, my mind is at rest cos i know a man wont show his to his parents if he aint serious. I've also heard cases where Nigerians scam their 'lucrative' wives abroad and relocate back here. That aint ur case. I see love in yours and wish u the best.
Nigeria is a lovely place to be. Dont believe everything u hear in d media. We'r hospitable.

con·science (knshns)
n.
The part of the superego that judges the ethical nature of one's actions and thoughts and then transmits such determinations to the ego for consideration.

@nferyn
I do not think utilitarianism leads to conscience. Conscience is individualistic while utilarianism is the accepted norm by d majority. People conscience oppose at times. You strongly believe there is no God but i also passionately believe there is GOD. We cant both be right. I wouldnt think conscience is strong enough to determine what is wrong or right.

I'm thinkin picnics, asun(barbecue), fanti carnival, xmas jamboree(kuramo), father xmas grotto, amusement park, street lightings, knockouts , fashion statements, fried rice-chicken-drinks. In fact i'm thinkin christmas already

Foolish and idiot? Just to say there is ONE GOD. I'm really amazed at the kind of humans we r breedin down here. The fact that this is an online forum does not mean u should hide behind a PC and throw tantrums and stupid remarks at people who are obviously trying to have an intellectual discourse.
I've noticed only Nferyn has been able to do this without personal attacks and I doff my hats for him. We've over the years called christians fanatics and apologetics but its obvious the non-christians r more brutal verbally and physically.

Pouring water into a basket had never been my thing so I might have to stop posting here. Its becoming a useless/painful venture.

Ajisafe:
@Layi, you're definitely not making sense in your foolish delineation of the "tripartite" nature of God. May God help you and other idiots that subscribe to this your blasphemy! Shun trinity, God is one!

I'm sure u know u have a soul and a body. Does that make you 2? Why don't people think deeply before fooling themselves in the public? I thot u knew better. Who's d idiot anyway?

I'm thinkin why is the xmas season 'dry' this yr. Its Novemeber already and no sign.

I love it.

Thank You.

@allonym
The Holy Spirit is not partitioned amongst christians. He's one supernatural beign. He is the Spirit of GOD. He is 100% in me and 100% in U. He's not a discrete particle that can be shared. He is GOD - omnipresent.
GOD himself is not partioned. The trinity is just the 3 manifestations of the GOD head. He was revealed first to the world as GOD the father, He then came as GOD the Son and now He lives amongst us as GOD the Holy Spirit.
The father however never leaves his throne...the spirit proceeds from HIM (while still conplete in Him) and brings his presence to us.

Outward displays of spirituality is not a yardstick for measuring ones growth in the spirit. Such visionary displays can be faked.
Like i said earlier. The Spirit is a beign..not a force or phenomenon. Every human is a Spirit that lives in a Human body. We are connected to God(who is also a spiirt) via the spirit realm. We actually grow into our sensitivity to THE SPIRIT of God. We do not grow the spirit of God in us.
The issue of quantification really depends on what/who we understand the spirit to be. Dictionary definition howevers calls Spirit a BEIGN. Can u quantify a beign?

U should know the second quote wasnt for you. So don't get confused.
Sincerely U make me enjoy this discourse. I'm actually learning how to debate from you but some would just come into it ignorantly makin harsh remarks (..nothing wrong though if it was an informed remark)

allonym:
well, have fun on the forum! Ignore nddy and layi for now.

Dont ignore me o. allonym only said that cos s/he new as well. Active/Old NL members knows Nddy to create scenes. i.m still tryin to ignore him like a lot are doing (but its not easy).


I know Jilliane loves it in here. the good, the bad and the ugly- makes NL looks more like the real world.
Anyway We got lots of peace-loving in here and its actually fun.

I wish....

Spirituality is of course a phenomenon but Spirit (by which u experience spirituality) is actually a BEIGN. I wonder how u believe in spirituality when u deny the supernatural. I do not preach the bible. I preach christ who i have come to know -through the Bible. A christain is not one who castigates other religions rather he's one who helps u achieve the initial purpose of religion -connection wit the creator.
There is absolutely no way to proove GOD to anyone...neither is there a shortcut to JESUS. We all have to find him out individually.
If the purpose of the discourse is to proove wit our 'rationality' the existence or not of a suprenatural reality, then i'll say we'll go nowhere. Humans are limited and our thinkin subject to a lot of factors...so we r prone to err. Life itself is complicated cos 2 people of opposing factions can both be (look) right. I do not think that spirituality, God, supernatural is what i FEEL it should be. I'll rather pray for a leading to know what it is not what it should be...cos I know that there is a GOD somewhere.  Every human knows this. We just want to go the lucifer way - make our throne like HIS and claim mastery over a universe we met here.

allonym:
if we cannot use a written book to disprove a written book, then we cannot use the bible to prove anything and everything you have just posted and your previous posts based on the bible become meaningless.


It must be possible to quantify the spirit. Christians talk all the time of being "more" in Christ or trying to get "more" into the word. So, there must be some quantity of Christ they possess, and some quantity they still need.

Ur posts actually is meaninless cos it's out of ignorance. If u can disproove the bible with another book. Why cant u disproove the written book with the Bible as well. I only implied that u let the books stand on the same pedestal and we see which 'carries power and livin nuggets'. Put them to test and see which would carry u far above the fiery winds of the world.
U dont just say 1 is wrong cos the other says so.

Thats the problem. U argue from the outside. Christians talk about growing into the Spirit and becoming more sensitive to him not growing the spirit. Theye are the one imroving in the things of the spirit. Its very obvious if only u were a christian or at least have a lil knowledge of what goes on in the christian circuit. i explained just so u'll understand..No need ignoring.

nferyn:
Layi,

I praise you for your spirituality. I actually envy you. It would make my life way easier if I could believe.

The only thing I want to point out is that The Bible as it stands is not the only reference for spirituality. It is not even the only source for Christianity. Read some of the Gnostic gospels and writings (unfortunately most of them were destroyed, but some still remain, such as the dead sea scrolls) and you will know and[b] understand that there is far more spirit in these than in the canonized gospels. [/b] It's such a shame that some of the more charismatic churches do not reach back to the roots of where their spirituality comes from.

Even though I cannot connect intellectually, emotionally I feel for the Gnostic tradition. It is in line with my pantheistic spirituality

I'll also like you to know that a spirit is a beign that cannot be quantified. U don't have more or less of HIM. U either have him or U don't. His purpose is to give us life and make us alive unto our creator.

I also know that the one with the spirit is far better than the one with the history or mere knowlege of the origin of the spirituality- the end justifies the means. I can't have money and bother myself wit how it was minted. I have it and i know it was minted-thats all i need.

Mo gbe!

We have to start a thread to investigate vexxy. She learning at d speed of light. In fact Methinks she is nigerian

Have u met his parents or at least seen pictures?

I wish adesodgi knew Vexxy is Mrs not Miss.

Huh...U r married already?


Wazup wes. Bawo ni?

Imo aint peaceful o. Its as dangerous as any other part. Thats the region where we had Okija shrine(the worst ritual case in Nigeria). Anyway just be careful and don't walk alone in dark, bushy areas. I am a nigerian and I live here.


@nddy. Try do a power hr and think bout your life. If u can be a torn in d flesh online...how woule u be in the real world. I try not to get issues wit u but u always make mad. U keep sayin rubbish because you're behind a PC but its ok.keep hidin your face...but remember if theres any fight on nairaland, nddy is always involved. Proove me wrong if u can. Think about where you're headed and make a change fast. its for your good. I'll try no to reply any rubbish after this because its expected

nferyn:
Actually, layi, that's because you want [/b]to find harmony and completeness. The language used in the Bible is far from being precise an because of it's sheer size, you can always contextualize until you find harmony and completeness.

If you know a little about how the Bible was compiled, you will understand that only a small part of what was early Christian thought is retained in the Bible. Only the texts that fit the Orthodox Roman Catholic interpretation were withheld for the Bible.
......

How do u know how the Bible was compiled If not for written 'history' (since u werent there). How can u use a written book (ur references) to disproove a written book (Bible)...Its because u too want to disproove the Bible. Simple!!

Like I always say: 2 Corinthians 3:6 - Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: [b]for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.


I have the spirit that created the world, the one the bible preach...residing in me. This aint no placebo effect...cos He's as real as life itself.

nddy:
@layi don't try to be smart, you lil bama, go look for you playmates

you modifying your post wouldnt help issues dumb fool

U are like the proverbial dog returning to its vomit. I thot u had changed. Kids would always be kids even if dressed in suit.

I posted wrongly and changed even before your comment but because u aint patient u flared up. Moreover did i say anything against U? U r still an a$$, Idiot.
U think I'll be scared of ur response enough to modify my post. As long as i'm concerned u r d least of my worries.

Dont u wanna grow up nddy. Was I talking to u?

Sweet lady, don't give a fxuk what people'll say. Follow your heart..as long as you're doing the right thing. Ur friends wont live wit this guy..U will. So whats their problem? Ur friends aint all gona be wit u for ever, so quit making decisions to suit them.

As regards the guy, don't rush. Remain good friends. I'll rather u allow the chemistry to flow. Dont tell him u love him else he might unconsciously take u for granted. Its naturally expected of the 'toaster' to make d relationship work. A lot will be expected of you if u do so. As a lady, u should be his ruby and jewel of inestimable value to be pampered and cared for... not d other way round.

The best u can do is to show him u got special feelings for him by d special things u do. Let him conclude himself. DONT TELL HIM. If after seeing all that, he doesnt come after you..then he's not your man. U'll meet someone else.

Yes, this was the soundtrack in the movie titled Thunderbolt (Magun)...so touching.

U r right..but Luralph version is a remix he did recently. He added english verses. His version is even more touchin. I'm feelin that guy like isht. I'm particular into lyrics. I don't listen to rhythmical jargons. Some of of the lines that caught me in that song:

...Like a thief in the night/ girl u came into my life/ and stole my heart away
...Like an angel in my life/ u take me to the greatest heights/watchin under the moonlight.....
...I don't beef the mirror because it praises your beauty more than "belief"
...Girl U are like a STUNT lady / no doubt about it/nothing compares to your love.

I did before u replied...u'r too fast.

Not too late. Unscramble that as well.

I doubt if conscience should be authoritative in deciding whats wrong or right. I know what is right to someone might be wrong to another if conscience is followed. Moreover our conscience is a by product of the ideals we've learnt overtime as a result of our upbringing.
Except we would like to believe that this matter is a relative one, otherwise i believe what is right should be right to everyone therefore the yardstick should be outside our body. Something we can all use.
