There would be no point answering your question if you don't believe the story is true.

LoLz. Telling me the year it purportedly happened has no bearing on whether I believe it or not. We are trying to establish the material facts of this event. If it occurred in earth's history then you have an idea of when, it's that simple.

The conventional K-Ar dating method was applied to the 1986 dacite flow from the new lava dome at Mount St. Helens, Washington. The whole-rock age was 0.35 +/- 0.05 million years (Mya). Ages for component minerals varied from 0.34 +/- 0.06 Mya to 2.8 +/- 0.6 Mya. These ages show that the K-Ar method is invalid.

Response:
Austin sent his samples to a laboratory that clearly states that their equipment cannot accurately measure samples less than two million years old. All of the measured ages but one fall well under the stated limit of accuracy, so the method applied to them is obviously inapplicable. Since Austin misused the measurement technique, he should expect inaccurate results, but the fault is his, not the technique's. Experimental error is a possible explanation for the older date.

Austin's samples were not homogeneous, as he himself admitted. Any xenocrysts in the samples would make the samples appear older (because the xenocrysts themselves would be old). A K-Ar analysis of impure fractions of the sample, as Austin's were, is meaningless.

This something that has long been dispelled. I wonder why you are rehashing long debunked claims.

Do you now believe the Noah's Flood is true?

We've been over this before, don't answer questions with another question, answer mine first then you get a turn.

Bwahahahaha, lordreed come and see something

Fossilised Dinosaur Embryos Are Found All Over The World

The only way this is even possible, is if the oxygen was cut off from the outside, allowing the embryo and the shell to fossilize. It had to be buried quickly. Global dinosaur fossils and global dinosaur eggs means we had a major flood sometime in the Earth's past. The Bible mentions it as Noah's flood! The evidence is overwhelming.

In what year did the purported Noah's flood take place?

I enjoin all forum members to actively contribute
my budget is 4.5M
the choices I am looking at are these :

1. Toyota Rav 4, (2011) Nigerian used. A friend is actually convinced this is the car I should buy as it fits nicely in terms of prestige and functionality. However, I'm not fully convinced as per buying a Nigerian used car and also because I'm not really taken to the RAV4 as I see it as not a masculine car.

2. Toyota Camry 2011 or 2012 (muscle) : I like this car and if it falls within my budget I'd happily buy it. The only negative here is I've been wanting an SUV to be my first car considering Lagos roads etc so I'm not totally sold on the idea of getting this car.

3. Toyota Highlander full option (2007) Direct Belgium or Nigerian used: Now this is the car I I'm most taken to. However, Friends are of the opinion that it is an old car (being 2007) and is gradually being phased out. Also the fact the car does not exactly convey much in terms of prestige etc.

So that's it. I'd appreciate if forum members advice correctly on any of these three car models or recommend something else. Kindly highlight the merits/demerits of buying the foreign used or Nigerian used version of any car you'd recommend.

The attributes I'm looking out for are Functionality, ease of Maintenance, prestige/aesthetics of the car.

I appreciate you all.

For your budget and living area I'd say go for foreign used SUVs. The options I would recommend are Acura MDX, Ford Edge, Toyota RAV 4, Honda CRV or Crosstour, all in the 2010-2013 range.

While discussing with some buddies yesterday, we touched on the topic “moving back to Nigeria”. I argued that Nigeria is not safe. Sure, there are places that are pretty “safe”. However, my notion of safety is when other people elsewhere can go about their normal activities without fear. For instance, I don’t consider a place safe if one part of the area keeps suffering repeated attacks from Fulani herdsmen (like Southern Kaduna and Plateau). I don’t have to be the affected party, but others who go about their normal activities should feel safe doing them. The other guy countered that, with money, one could enjoy Nigeria. “Live in Maitama, run Lister generator and live quietly.” Also, you get to be in a place where almost everyone looks like you.

Upon hearing “…with money, one can enjoy Nigeria”, I asked him to list five things/ways one can enjoy Nigeria as long as the person has money. Surprisingly, he could not mention one thing/way. I thought it wise to throw it to the house, especially for those who are anti-Japa or those who have stayed abroad for a long time and currently reside in Nigeria.

As someone with money, what exactly does the person enjoy in Nigeria? What are the differences compared to his/her counterpart in say, Namibia or Canada/UK that also has money? How do you enjoy Nigeria provided the money is available?

P.S. I understand that the notion of “enjoyment” is largely subjective. Some enjoy going to parties, while others enjoy travelling around or even reading a book while in a park. But I believe there are some universal notions of enjoyment.

The only thing one enjoys as a rich person in Nigeria is relativity. What I mean by that is relative to others you can ease your way. Take a look at power for example, you are not going to enjoy better services from the power distribution companies because you are rich, in fact richer areas suffer more power outages from my experience in Abuja. So the rich just have standby gens or large inverter/solar systems to cushion it. Is it roads, fuel scarcity, poor water supply, poor medical services and on and on. Nothing except you can cushion it relatively better than the average man on the street.

Like I always say, religion fvcks up a human mind. Just do any crime and label it 'Thus sayeth the Lord' and you're good
No one would touch you. If Oyedepo and Adeboye carry guns and rob CBN vault, and are caught red handed, some followers would still exonerate them, and worship the same Sunday in their churches. So chill

For real.

Leiylau:
Dtruthspeaker he is talking about you . You made a mess dropping that on my mention , NNTR and I didn't approve that and I know you shall call us demon worshippers.

A nairaland lady I respect so much in quote said "


"I was 12 and I question the bible and all sorts , my mother brought a pastor( A former armed robbery who claimed to give his life to Christ ) who claimed I am possessed . During prayers he fumbled my breast and I slapped him .
He then claimed i slapped him for trying to reveal the secret of the marine world .
He went on to claim I am the queen of the marine , That to avoid death in my family that I shud be locked in chains in a dark room which should be an exorcism room. He said that I am a marine queen who lies like Satan her father that I will accuse him of rape
He went on to rape me during exorcism and nothing was done about it because my mother wanted me dead."

This is her account , 90% of what you narrated has their victims as females.

What a low down dirty shame. And this story is happening to females all over the world, someone somewhere is using religious veneer to subjugate a woman.

Leiylau:
A mentor here Sisterfire after universal codes , Marine business( You Africans know) and spiritism once said In quote

" Male Pastors, Fathers and preachers prefer carrying out exorcism on a demon possessed female rather than males .

When I was 12 a pastor refused to cast out a possessed boy with 10,000 demons but chooses me with lesser demons for his exorcism " The Pastors and clergies has a agreement all over the world to let demons in males be and let the demons in females run Helter skelter

My question is " whY is this so In Africa presently and outside centuries back ?
Again is this stereotyped hate on females not understood perfectly or wo is it?
Are they telling us the females are just the demonic ones and the males aren't .
Why will they allow a possessed male go Scott free and the female tortured .


Merry Xmas folks I remain your girl lei-lau g-yen

Demon possesion is just another of those veneer of spiritual fairytale used to describe things people didn't know how to handle or what was the cause. Typical example is epilepsy, people used to think it was spirits but now we know its not any yeye spirit.

It's very easy to use any sort of religious fairytale to perpetuate any sort of bigotry you want. And adding in some sort of seemingly divine approval insures that it receives little challenge or change. You don't want female empowerment? Tell people female subjugation is a divine order and you have people ready to kill to prevent that from changing.

KnownUnknown:
Yes sir!! That’s how we get all these soul saving cults, their gods, and convoluted dogmas. It’s been a cosmic problem since the Epoch of the Gargantuans.

My favourite epoch!

kkins25:
More like "kill." So much for "turning the left cheek."

Right? LoLz.

KnownUnknown:
. The only prohibition is soul sacrifice but luckily no one can figure that out.

And thus was the black market for soul sacrifice born, for every prohibition births a counter culture. LoLz.

They obviously don't believe the Bible.

Noted.

Image123:
Of course, the Bible taught you.

Taught me that all men must die? No it wasn't the Bible that taught me that.

CodeTemplar:
Same way you may not see or hear a king but read and obey his decree.

All human Kings can be or were seen when making their decrees. And in the age of video have been recorded. Your god has no such thing going for it.

budaatum:
I wonder which of the characters. Guess might find out when I watch.

Lemme see if you can guess. LoLz

CodeTemplar:
When a king makes a pronouncement or decree, he doesn't have to be the one penning it in written form. This is what is happening here.
For those foolishly switching accounts to say Jesus' words are different from the Father's, the spirit of the father was the compiler of a combination of the words of Jesus as written by Holy Spirit inspired men, the written words of Holy Spirit inspired men and Gods words spoken directly to prophets and written by Holy Spirit inspired men(2 Peter 1:20). All three categories of words have the vouching of The Holy Spirit in common, written by men also and tested by the revealing fire of God.

Even Jesus in human form was saying "it is written, man shall not live by bread alone..." at some point. He didt say"a wiseman once said don't argue with fools". If the words of God written by men was being quoted verbatim by Jesus to escape the devil and his wiles, how can those words now be attributed as the words of men and not that of God?

Words are formed in the spirit realm whether we like it or not. Your words are not a product of the food you eat or the positions you sleep in or even the grade of water you drink but your spirit is the birth place of words. The heart part of your spirit.

It would have been very strange for God to appear in human form with a pen just to write His words with His own hands.
The King of kings needn't do that.

While I acknowledge you are trying to make an analogy, you fail to account for the fact that no one sees when the god is making any pronouncements and even now when we can virtually eternally memorialise an event, the god still fails to show up in person so we can capture the event on video.

Image123:
Yes they are not according to the Bible, they are all resolvable. Separation is allowed, never divorce.

Well I guess Chris Oyakhilome is not a Christian or Paula White or any of the other divorced Christian ministers.

Image123:
Good for you, we know that already though. It's appointed to man once to die, after this the judgment.

I said reminds.

Image123:
They don't believe the Bible then and are covenant breakers. It is what it is.

So threat to life or abuse or even adultery is not sufficient reason to end a marriage according to Christian or bible beliefs?

Image123:
Okay oh, you almost always acknowledge death on the FP. fascinating.

Yes. It reminds me that no matter what I get in this life I will die one day. Same with every other person.

Righteousness2:
Having a big wedding is good but it cannot keep a Home.

Having a Wealthy home filled with all the goodies of life is wonderful but it is not what will keep a home.

Marrying an American, European, Indian or White or Black spouse is good but it is not what will keep your marriage.

Marrying a Beautiful wife with the biggest behind and attack or a Handsome 6packs husband is fine but it's not what will keep a Marriage.

Marriage is an union Instituted, Invented, and Sustained by GOD ALMIGHTY. HE owns the Trademark of Marriage.

There must be a Concious action by a Husband and Wife to involve GOD and live by HIS Marriage act written in HIS Word the Bible.

Once GOD , His Word or His Commandments is relegated to the background, it does not Matter what you do, it's a matter of time, the Marriage will Crash.

May GOD have Mercy and Heal their Lives and restore their Homes in JESUS Name.. Amen

As if Bible believers don't get divorced. LoLz!

Are you an undertaker?

No but I don't need to be an undertaker to acknowledge that someone has died.

Valar Morghulis. Rest in peace.

alfarouq:
First golden ring or necklace is only forbidden for men not women.

Secondly, golden ring is different from golden colored ring.

In summary, muslim men can use silver rings, watches etc and GL rings even if the colour is golden color. Use of Gold is what is forbidding for men.

Women on the other hand can use Gold or Silver.

And Allah knows best.

LoLz. Sometimes you people make your god sound silly. How can the same god that you claim made both gold and silver is now telling men to wear silver but not gold but women can wear both. What is in gold that makes it bad for men to wear it? And not only that you say men can wear gold coloured jewelry. What a joke.

2. Very chilled Coke or Beer especially Stout mixed with yogurt.

I need to try this concoction.

My favourite is Irish cream, chocolate milk or milo, banana, yoghurt, all blended with ice cubes. That sends me straight to heaven. LoLz.

HardMirror:
keep waiting. You really think i care that u know more?

I already told you it's not my concern if you don't care but I care that the information you are presenting to me is factual.

budaatum:
Vaguely remember the '73 film. Will make the 2016 series my Christmas watch.

Oh please do. I was imagining you as one of the characters. LMAO!

HardMirror:
i almost did not bother because it was obvious you were just echoing what the left wing media want you to know

Dude it's not that hard, just produce the counter information.

HardMirror:
you are laughing as if i did not prove the first one. I have long realized there is no point discussing this topic with you. Only reason i keep replying is to keep the thread going.

And did I argue any further when you showed me? It's not that hard bro. LoLz
