The question is, is it proper and not deadly to inject smoke Then if injection of smoke is capable of damaging any organ in there (it can also kill slowly) - why should you deem it fit

And how does it make people behave when they inject it They sleep all day - when eaten and not smoked...

A boy after smoke small quantity ran mad!!!

Another one started calling down evil on her niece while the aunty was there, -- ran the family into trouble before they realized he was actually under influence. ...


Numerous other cases ranging from addiction, rape, and other thinkable heineous crimes.


What about the smell on those who are addicted
The Bible book of 1Korintians admonishes us to abstain from defilement of the flesh and spirit. Temple of God...is what ur body is

One vital point you raised is the one relating to, how others will perceive Christians, if they smoke. We all agree that, it is not sin to smoke it in moderation or cook and eat it. But by putting knowledge and freedom to use, we might cause another brother/sister who does not have this knowledge or level of faith to stumble and commit sin or hinder the spread of the gospel as people will tend to recoil away from is, when they perceive that odor during our attempt to evangelize them.

It become a sin to us, if our knowledge causes a brother to sin or hinders to spread of the gospel. As Paul put it, if eating meat will make my brother stumble, I will not eat meat again.

fpeter:
So God created humans and gave them sexual organs..
He also wired us to respond to the urges but then is fornication a sin....You should know the answer to your question.

I think, the OP's point is, the Bible explicitly said fornication is a sin, despite the fact that God created the organs and our natural biological chemistries that gives raise to these urges...but there is no such restriction against weed.

abbey621:
Smoking weed is not a Sin but can be dangerous to your health and doing anything which causes harm to you or any other person is a sin. Confused? Well don't be! Let me explain, as humans we have different tolerance levels. Some people are able to smoke weed and behave normal while weed can cause neurological disorders in some people. I have seen people behave very violently due to excessive weed, in fact 80% of mental patients lost their sanity due to drug related issues. Then comes the professional aspect, see in advanced countries such as the USA, before you can be employed at a professional job you have to undergo a drug test, testing positive on a urine test can and will automatically disqualify you. So all in all, you have to do what's best for you. You have to weigh the Pros and Cons in order to determine if taking weed is really worth it!

This is one of the logic Bible referenced answers so far...does that means, you agree that it is not a sin, if taken in moderation?

Though you point to sport organizations, who ban some of these stuff. I do not know, if we can use them as yardsticks for biblical precedent. There are many things they allow that are not necessarily godly.

deanoffaculty:
In mathematics,we have improper fraction when the numerator is bigger than denominator. Also in relationship, we have improper relationship when the Lady is like Goliath and the man is like David.

O boy! you wicked oh! How you go dey equate the woman as the numerator (as-in on top) and the man as the denominator (as-is bottom) as per bedmatics, that is suicidal.

As per say, today na Sunday, what keep readily to my mind is 'Unequally yoked Relationship'... somehow I felt that, when the Bible was saying 'thou shall not be equally yoked together and started giving examples like believers with unbelievers, righteousness with wickedness, light with darkest, etc...had the Bible examples continued or if you think about it logically, you will have this picture vividly at the back of your as to what the Bible is saying.

abbey621:
You are right, I just looked it up, the law was modified some years ago and U.S citizens need not maintain residency in the U.S....very good info thanks!

The caveat with that is, as a US citizen and even Green Card holder, living and working outside the US, you are required by the US law to file and pay taxes each year. These taxes might be minimal, but they will treat you as a US tax payer, then you are allow to include lots of deductions eg tax already paid to your host country, you may even qualify for foreign earned income exclusion depending on agreements between the US and your host country.

However, certain incomes (e.g. investment, lottery winnings, etc) that might not be taxable (or given tax grace period) in your host country or where the tax rates are different (lower) compare to the US', might be subject to taxes (or additional tax) when you file your US tax returns as a foreign resident.

This double taxation, is one of the major reason many US citizens residing abroad are renouncing their US citizenship.

This presents an interest problem for many Nigeria politicians that are US citizens e.g. the INEC chairman and others that are US Green Card holders. It will be interesting to know how much they filed with the US IRS as their worldwide income versus what they filed in Nigeria. Since most will want to be more transparent when filing US taxes than with Nigeria. Any Opposition Research team worth their billing in Nigeria can dig these things up and use them against current and future politicians.....And if it comes up that, they do not file US taxes, that is a huge problem...

abbey621:
I think you are mistaken. The constitution of the United States recognizes dual citizenship, so does Nigeria. In order to fully renounce your Nigerian citizenship, an affidavit must be sworn with a Nigerian court. Now keep in mind U.S citizenship requires maintaining a residence in the U.S for a certain amount of time and can be easily revoked, whereas Nigerian citizenship requires no such thing and hence people are able to manipulate the system whenever issues like these are discussed within the judicial system.

Getting US citizen requires the showing of residency in the US, but once you get your your US citizen, you are not required to maintain any US residency.

Though, you can loss your US naturalized citizenship, but it is not easy to loss it and can only be ordered by a Judge...Also, it is hard to find anyone whose US citizenship was revoked , Judges are not willing to grant that request even in extreme cases. People that have so far lost their US citizenship did so voluntarily even at that, any doubt is usually resolved in their favor.

They mofos didn't trek to protest over the erratic power the country is facing

They mofos didn't trek to show their grievances over the fuel crisis we are having.

They fools didn't even trek to protest over the killings and bombings of boko haram

The ediots didn't trek to protest against the frequent kidnappings that are happening in some parts of Nigeria


The ediots didn't trek to protest against corruption that is killing the country slowly.


And yet some silly nigerians are celebrating these shameless clowns. Anyway they always say; welcome to Nigeria, where _stupidity and mediocrity are celebrated.

And what did you do? It is far easier to condem other people's effort than to lift our own fingers.

He is greating awareness, putting Nigeria on the map, many foreign media houses are tracking them, it gives them some positive things to air about our Country where the news always about bad things in Nigeria. It is boosting the image of our country, what have you done lately or in your entire existence to boost the image of Nigeria?

I don't believe in evolution . Are you a Christian? If you are Christian , then why do you think evolution was that process God used in creation?

I am a Christian and I believe in Evolution, if you have time, watch this debate....

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/02/04/271648691/watch-the-creationism-vs-evolution-debate-bill-nye-and-ken-ham

bond77:
Let me also add that when the Bible speaks of a day it means a thousand years, if you recall 2peter 3:9b says "one day with God is a thousand years and a thousand years as one day". this means that each creative day amounts to a thousand years in God's eye going by this calculation we can conclude that God created everything for 6000 years.
And on the 7th day he rest, mind you God is still resting because the 7th day is yet to come to an end,remember a day is equal to a thousand years so the 7th day amount to a thousand years.
Research shows that when this 7th day comes to end which signals the end of God's rest, God's Kingdom will come and armageddon will strike.
presently we are living at the edge of the conclusion of the 7th day.

Not in all cases, you have to read within the context of the text to deduce that....When Joshua asked the Sun to standstill for one day in the battle of the Amorites, the Sun did not Standstill for a thousand years....also when the Bible said Jonah spend three days and three nights in the belly of a fish, that does not mean he spend three thousand years.

"beast" as in lower forms of man during the stages of evolution

I never implied that man evolved from lizards , birds

So, I guess you believe in Evolution then?

I know you never mention man evolved from lizard, bird...I never said that either and my response never indicated that you said that.

I was just making a reference about Evolution generally in that, Ape and man have a common ancestor, also lizards and birds have a common ancestor as per the Evolutionary theory of natural selection.

If you believe in the survival of the fitness, or the theory of natural selection, which the weakness are dominated by the strongest, then you inherently believe in the theory of Evolution but are distancing yourself because of how the society have defined Evolution to be contrary to the Bible, but if you ignore what you have come to learn from society about Evolution and pick up a good book on the subject, you will realize that, it did not contradict the Creationism in the Bible neither did it attempt to explain how man came to be.

Evolution is simply telling us what happens to all species genetically from point A to point B, where point B is 'now'....The Bible in Genesis tells us how we got to point A and it never told us how we changed from point A onward.

KingEbukasBlog:
....

A Christian should not accept evolution because

1.evolution says man evolved from beast , so our Lord Jesus Christ was an evolved beast or a product of evolution?
2.The bible clearly stated that we (men) are created in God's image , ET clearly denies that
3.ET also degrades God's image to a mere beast
4.It nullifies the idea of the Bible creation by God
5. It denies miracles , the supernatural and the bodily resurrection of Christ ... and I can go on and on

cc: lalasticlala

Please , You can ask me questions if need be

Evolution never said or suggested that men evolved from beast. It is men's misconception of evolution that concluded that. Pick up a good book on evolution to read up on the suggestion.

Evolution of natural selection states that, all lives are related and descended from a common ancestor. Put simply, complex creatures evolved from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time.

It never state that men evolved from apes, or birds evolved from lizards.

Even today's science of natural genetic mutation and metamorphosis shows time, over time dominant genes survives the race condition and recessive or weaker genes dies off.

Note that, Darwin's theory of evolution never answered the question of "beginning or the origin of all things". Evolution presupposes these existences, hence it does not contradict the Bible or Genesis account of creationism.

An indept student of the Bible and the Darwin's theory of Evolution's natural selection will note the difference and see one do not contradict the other.

To be on the top search engines involves lots of work, albeit daily and also time. To grasp this, you need to sit back and understand the goal of a search engine.

Search engines primary function is to present relevant, authoritative and accurate and most up to date results without too much difficulty to whoever request for that information. If you are searching something on e.g. Google, that is what you expect, so it means that, that what will boost your placement is content.

Now, there are many facets to this; one is the technical, e.g. Your meta, website load speed, robot file, sitemap, image optimization, etc. we must score 100% right here.

Goto http://seositecheckup.com, plug in your website address and their free services will analyze your site for, try to correct the issues.

Next, your need authority for your content that is third party websites referencing your content and the more worthy that thirdly party is, the more search will believe the authority of your contents and the more likely they will send to searchers. The worthiness of third party websites is call page ranking, it is from 1 to 10 with 10 been the highest. E.g nairaland has a page ranking of 3, google page rank, plug in any website to see their page ranking and build backlinks on high ranked pages back to your blog, this link building exercise is a daily job...

Turned your keywords to the content of the page...also do not fall into the trap of putting keywords all over the place on your website...the keywords, must be part of a relevant content that will be useful to searchers e.g. Instead of keywords in body of your page as: "our blog Cather to Africa authenticative news flash, events, stories" writing "This is a news flash, the Nigeria Police just Apprehended the dreaded leader of BOKOPI haram, stay turned for more events and stories" as you can see, the first one just had your keywords with no useful contents, if I am a searcher and I arrive at your page base on the first keyword, I will return immediately to the search engine and this increases your bounce rate on the search engine, highe bounce rates means you donot have relevant contents, otherwise why would someone go back immediately to search when visiting your blog from a search, high bounce rates means, the rate of your content showing next time is low...

There are lots to say about seo, but I think you get the drift.

People like him do not deserve a job and he saved the company from dealing with his seriousness.

Had he been employed, the next excuse would have been..."I miss work today because there was no light to iron my clothes'.

If he can't solve simple mundane issue like these, I will not give him a job.

No1:
This is a guessmate interview question, the goal is not to get the right answer as there are none. What the interviewer is looking for is your critical thinking and analytic skills and thought process, to get the right answer, your solution must be critical and logical.

Answer this guessmate interview questions like this:

There are about 7bil people on earth today, about 50% of these are women and about 25% of women are of child bearing age (age 18 to 45, i.e. 27yrs range), which means 1.75bil women are of child bearing age. On average each woman gives birth to 2 kids over their lifespan (aka child bearing age of 27yrs), there 1.75bil women will give birth to 3.5bil children over 22 years period.

Therefore number of children born everyday = 3.5bil/(27 * 365) = 355,000 children (approximate) worldwide.

If you google it, the estimates are around the above guessmates, and that is all the interviewer is looking for...and you do not have to get the 355,000, just demonstrate to them how to arrive at that value.

No. 3:

This is a trick question, the first details about heads up and tails up, is to throw you off....ignore that part for a second and focus on the question, which is...

"....Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”

Simply count the pile into two groups of 50 each, and each pile will contain the same number of heads. The question did not state that these heads must be face up, that is the impression the interview wants to give up, but it is the wrong impression.

No. 4:

Since all three boxes are labelled with the wrong fruit name, the key is to distinguish the box with the mixture of oranges and apples...

1. Locate the box labeled mixture, the key here is that; the content is not mixture but contain entirey Orange or Entirely Apple. Pick a fruit from this box, if the fruit is Apple, remove the Apple label from the other (2nd box) wrongly labeled box and afix it on this box.

2. Now, since the box you took the Apple label (2nd box) from and the third box were also wrongly labeled, and you have identified and fix one box in step 1 above, simple swap the labels between these two boxes to get it right. That is out of the two remaining boxes, the one that was originally labeled Orange, gets the mixture label and the one originally labeled Apple gets the Orange label.

If the fruit from step one above was Orange, you will still get the same result, where you see Apple above, replace with Orange and where you see Orange replace with Apple.

You are not yourself, you are trying to paint a picture of someone else to her. You are not comfortable with who you are and are insecure about yourself.

You want a lady to marry you based on some future promises and plans, but want them not to know the true you today.

I do not think you are ready for marriage. Until a man is confident and secure about himself, he should not seek to marry a wife and bring in someone else to share his lack of confidence and insecurity. Cut her loose and let her go, stop wasting her time.

Since, you security is tied to material things like a 'nice place', a 'new apartment'; wait until you have achieved that security by getting the nice place and the new apartment before thinking about marriage. My guess is, since no condition is permanent i.e. you may loss you nice place and nice apartment tomorrow, you are heading for some shock to your confidence and security down the road and believe me, no lady want to associate with such a person.

Don't mind people telling you that, you did the right thing...

They only have that mentality because, she is female and it is very wrong.

Many of them have and will carry their male's boss briefcase without blinking or thinking twice about it.

She is your boss irrespective of her gender and your dealings should also be gender neutral unless she is coming on to you sexually, in fact some make bosses have a thing for their fellow men, so the 'coming on to you sexually' should be applicable both ways.

I think you were wrong, and it is possible she felt that you must have done it because she was a lady.

Think for a second....if your boss was male and he gave you a ride to the office and after getting there, he asked you to help carry his briefcase to his office, I believe you will not think twice and out of respect you will take the briefcase and carry it to his office. Infact, you will be the first person to volunteer to carry it for him.

I also think, she is right to fire you, the company is not meant for you. As you indicated, she is your contemporary and she only got that position because it is her father's company. She must have been aware of this and must have been debating, if you respects her despite all of you been contemporaries and her request must have been a test.

Please, for goodness seek! you asked for and was given a free ride, it was not part of the benefits of your employment, humble yourself and try to reciprocate by carrying her handbag.

In your next job, you will definitely carry your boss' bag, be it a male or female boss. I think male Bosses make us do it very often and female Bosses do not do it as frequent, because of the 'meaning' some people might read into it or think that, there is more to it, than just bag carrying, hence I am incline to think that, she did it to test you.

The core teaching and practice of restitution is in the Old Testament. And, if you take time to study those passages, you will find out that, the main purpose of restitution is to rights wrongs or make peace with your neighbor or a fellow human being. Note the highlighted, because, they are very important. WAEC is not your neighbor and they are not bearing grudges against you. Now, this is different from stealing from the government, he have to return the stolen money, because that money belong to the citizens of the country and each day they see poor infrastructure; they lament and complain to God, who hears their cries and they bear grudges against you every single day.

The only explicit mention of restitution in the New Testament is that of Zachheus, who made that extral effort and, that guy offended and took money from a lot of people, there after Jesus told him that, by his actions; salvation has come to his house. But Jesus have also made such proclaimations to other people from the thief on the cross to the prostitution, to Saul who became Paul, beyond the proclaimation of their faith, these other people did not do restitution and they are not less saved loved by Jesus than Zachheus.

Restitution is a delicate and sensitive subject that you must allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on. Pray about it, if you have an inner peace, then let it go. If it is something that God wants you to do, his spirit will lead and prompt you. Understanding of the scripture about the subject is also important, because the Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. In your case, you cheated in an exam, you have repented and are now born again, you have publicly confessed your sins, you did not offend, injure, misappropriate anyone's property, WAEC is not bearing grudges against you before God; you simply broke man's rule, we all do that everyday....go and sin no more!

A back story, even in cases unlike yours, when restitution is advised e.g. taking someone's property; you really have to apply wisdow and in some cases, it would be better not to do the restitution...case in point-true life story...A friend stole money from a classmate in high school, he eventually repented and was advise on restitution, he then remember this thieft and wants to make it right, but on inquiry he found out that, the friend he stole the money from died very young amid some unfortunate circumstance..but Pastor abd friends still urges him on that he must still make restitution and donations to the poor or offering will not cut it. He then amass the courage and approach the father of this friend and made restitution to him. The father is an unbeliever, he was very angry and mad to be once again reminded of his son's demise and he did not take it likely and was grieved by it.

Now, the goal of restitution is to make amends and to seek peace with your neighbor, if that action will cause grief, sorry, suffering; that is where wisdow should step in and cause you to either not do the restitution or if you still want do it, then do it through other means eg like giving to the poor just like Zachheus did. In the case of my friend above, the advise to go ahead with the restitution was not the best, he would have Forgo it and would not be a lesser Christian than other Christians in the bible.

GBTYO:
Income tax rates in Canada are higher than that in the US.

Only corporate taxes are higher in the US.


https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/background/numbers/images/The-Numbers-Jan-2012-International_1.gif

I really hope you know the difference between 'Tax as a share of GDP' and income tax. They are apples and oranges. Income tax is higher in the U.S. compare to Canada and that is public knowledge. Plus, if you are US dual citizen, you are also required to pay taxes on foreign incomes, and the only way out for many is to renounce US citizenship.

GBTYO:
Most Americans are renouncing their citizens and heading across the border to Canada which has a higher tax regime than the US.

A vast majority of Americans renouncing their citizenship do it because they are sick of what America has become and not for tax reasons.

Nonse! They caught you in one fabricated lies, you dug yourself another hole.

Canada do not have higher tax rates than USA, read...

Even at that, Canada Healthcare is incorporated into their taxes since it is government provided but in the US that is an extra expense.

The graph you just shown clearly indicated that, many Americans got superb rich under Obama and in a bid to avoid paying the taxes moved to Canada, McDonald's just did that recently, just because of tax advantages in Canada, they bought a smaller company in Canada and moved their headquarters there despite the fact that the majority of their base and operations are in the US.
