PastorMIsBack: That’s the end of my BA course in ‘Kingdom Theology’. It’s been a long road but well worth it. I submitted 34 (2,000-word essays) and an 8,000-word dissertation.
I can now concentrate on my 1-year ‘Contemporary Chaplaincy’ course with Waverley Abbey (ends in November). It has 6 modules, and the end of every module has an essay. No dissertation, thank God.
After this, I will try to hang up my studying boots and leave the rest to the children. I am tired!!
I will need to find a hobby to fill the space. Any ideas?
Maybe I should tell my kids to give me a grandchild. That’ll keep me busy. Or I should have another baby? Perish the thought!! It’ll be easier to enrol on a Masters Course. Lol.
Jakumo: A couple of videos have surfaced showing Mad Vlad Putin afflicted with a very serious tremor that causes his hands to shake and quake uncontrollably. The lunatic tyrant does his desperate best to try and conceal the violent shaking of his hands by holding on to his jacket or to his infamous 50-foot long table where he welcomes guests are seated at the far end of the ridiculously long table.
In this first video clip, the demented tyrant Putin is welcoming fellow Lithuanian dictator Luthechenko. Watch the first few seconds of the 30-second clip, and note how Putin's right hand flutters in the air like the wingbeats of a headless chicken, before he hurriedly grips his jacket to conceal the prominent tremor. Notice also the way Putin walks with a very uncoordinated gait that reminds one of the way stroke sufferers walk. These are both telltale signs of a man who is SERIOUSLY ill, and therefore EXTREMELY dangerous in that he has little to lose if he takes the insane option of ending the world in a series of nuclear blasts so as to preempt his own impending death.
In the second video clip evidently filmed during the same meeting with fellow tyrant Luthechenko, note how Putin's legs dance about uncontrollably as he sits in his chair. Contrast that unnatural fidgety look with the steady and still posture of Putin's visitor in his chair, and it doe not take a neurologist to see clearly that Putin is suffering from some sort of degenerative disease, or possibly even from a neurotoxic poison that has been administered to him in a bid to assist him on the journey to join his ancestors before he gets a chance to start WW3.
So then, pellow kwantirimans, what is your opinion? Does Putin have Parkinson's Disease or Alzheimer's Disease, or has the man been poisoned by those close to him who have become worried about Putin's escalating insanity as evidenced by his senseless genocide in Ukraine?
I'm not seeing it. It just looks like nervous ticks or at the most some kind of discomfort.
Dtruthspeaker: And I have said that "THERE IS ALMOST NO THOUGHT WITHOUT ITS IMMEDIATE ACCOMPANYING ACT." which can render you prodecutable if it is evil an evil one.
Oga we are talking about thoughts not acts. You cannot be prosecuted for your thoughts alone.
PastorMIsBack: Omo, my dissertation is due today at 5p.m. I've submitted my first draft to turnitin just in case, but I still need to add to it. I can resubmit 3 times before they say, "no more"
One of my modules was 'Contemporary Religion' which I enjoyed - Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age, etc. I even visited a synagogue as part of it and worshipped with them one Saturday. So no. I just don't have time now to do Islam research until my dissertation is done and dusted.
British television viewers have been left astonished after watching a television documentary entitled The Man With a Penis on His Arm about a man who was forced to live for six years with a penis grafted to his limb.
Malcolm MacDonald’s original penis fell off and he threw it in the trash after it became infected due to sepsis, caused by an attempt to burst a blister, when he was homeless, leaving only a stump.
“I went to the toilet and it fell off,” MacDonald said in the show.
Doctors built a new penis for him out of skin grafts.
He requested that his new penis be 6 inches, which was 2 inches longer than his original one. But the operation to reattach it was not completed for several years, delayed in part by the pandemic, so in the intervening period, the new penis was grafted to his arm to maintain a blood supply.
In the Channel 4 documentary, MacDonald described how the penis once fell out of his sleeve while shopping and had even hit family members in the face while hugging them.
“I fucking slap myself in the eye with it, it’s a dead weight, when you cuddle your nan at Christmas you hit her in the eye,” he said. He also explained that if he tried to use the back burners on his stove while the front ones were on, the penis could get burned.
On the plus side, Malcolm, a keen darts player, showed how he used the penis to hold his arrows while playing, sandwiching them between the organ and the arm.
In a previous video he made for the Sun newspaper, MacDonald said he “had to” try and see the funny side of his situation and had named the penis Jimmy.
PastorMIsBack: Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by 'validate'.
I think it means prove it's accuracy which is why I told you to ask on the Moslem forum but if you have, and they believe it does, then no wahala. I can't be doing an Islam research
I don't expect you to (which is another problem) but I don't expect you to choose things that are neither unique nor restricted to your favoured religion. Religious persecution is a staple of human existence since the advent of religion itself, it cannot be an indicator of truth or else every religion that has faced persecution is true.
"Etymology Originated in 1576, borrowed from Latin crēdulus, from crēdō ("to believe) Excessively ready to believe things; gullible. ▼ (obsolete) Believed too readily."
I never said just believe without using your brain -that can led anyone into believeing a lie . God is against foolishness and that's foolishness.
That is not what I meant .
In your own words you wrote "That is not a recipe for OBTAINING truth."
the bold word "OBTAINING" agrees with my notion that every truth is a product of inspiration and can not be created or formulated by one's independent self .
You could remember I talked about exercising your senses . Exercising your senses is your own act but that which you put into exercise comes from somewhere else .
For example you spoke about placebo before .I believe you were not born directly with the knowledge of placebo in your head but learnt it from somewhere or some persons or at school or wherever . But the point is you had to be taught before you knew it . your choice of using it (placebo) as a basis for argument is an act of your own exercise .
The information was a product of inspiration But the grasping , of it content came by the exercise of you faculties .
You see! Every point of argument you've made were all inspired subject and never a 100 percent product of your own mind . These help to see that man is a receptive and Dependant being that needs inspiration to make a meaning in life .
You might be the one who farmed the food products that you ate today but you weren't the one who produced the seed . Somebody did and you took that persons product and then put it to work to get a desired result .
There are two major realms of inspiration were men tap from. 1. The natural (or physical )realm 2. The supernatural (or spiritual) realm
To understand the things of the natural realm all you need is to exercise your senses eg. Mind ,and intellect . Then reason with your brain to understand them .
But to graps spiritual things it is different.
You have to open your mind (turn your consciousness towards ) the holy spirit and let him fill it with inspiration then you exercise your senses eh. intellect ,mind ,emotion or intuition to discern what the inspiration you've got means .
Only the holy spirit can teach you spiritual truth ,that's why he is called the spirit of truth As it is written . John 16:12-13 [12]“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. [13]However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
You see! You have to yield your mind to him to get inspiration but the discernment of that inspiration is your own business by exercising you ( soul) senses to discern.
As it is written Job 32:8 [8]But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
your arguments or points you've made earlier were all also products of inspiration and you exercise you senses to discern them . The differences is were the inspiration comes from . Inspiration comes form etheir the flesh (natural realm ) Or the spirit (Spiritual realm)
And you have been influenced and even received inspiration from these two realms without knowing. You a man And man is like a cup that needs to be filled with water from another source before it can dispense to the mouth of those who thirst.
Your mind is are actually being influenced and inspired from by either what you can see (because they are physical )
Or what you can't see (because they are spiritual ) As it is written
Romans 8:5 [5]Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants.
You see !
You are actually being influenced and inspired . You can't create a single thing without the inputs of inspiration or influence from another source other than yourself .
But the decision to yield is a product of your own will (exercise) at the beginning .
Truth is a product of facts. You are asking me to believe things that have no accompanying facts, that is the definition of credulity. The words in your bible are not the accompanying facts that would indicate the truth of whatever inspiration you are relying on. Let me assure you I have been very much inspired by the words of the Bible, believing myself to be spoken to by the Holy spirit or Jesus or the god, these are not new things to me. What has not been established is that these inspirations are supernatural or spiritual. Even now as an atheist I continue to be inspired not only by the Bible but many other things but I don't go around saying my thoughts are truth until I can gather facts that establish them as such. Inspiration my dear fellow is not truth.
Dtruthspeaker: This was the question you asked which is why I have shown you The Laws of Thoughts (Animus) and the type of people prosecuted for their evil intentions, for nlot crying out loud.
And that is the catch! Even in thoughts, THERE ARE ACTS AND ACTIONS OF GUILT THERE THAT THE POLICE CAN USE TO PROSECUTE AND SEEK CONVICTION.
THERE IS ALMOST NO THOUGHT WITHOUT ITS IMMEDIATE ACCOMPANYING ACT.
Hence the brother of Section 316 comes in
Section 320 of the Criminal Code,
"Any person who: (a.) Attempts unlawfully to kill another; or (b) With intent unlawfully to kill another...,
Wrong. You can think all the bad thoughts you want and never follow it up with action. Nobody can be prosecuted for merely having bad thoughts. It is until you take action can a prosecutable case be made against you. An attempt to kill is a prosecutable action, mere thought cannot be prosecuted.
Dtruthspeaker: I have already shown you the types of people who as soon as it is seen that they have such evil thoughts, they would be brought to rest.
Truvelisback: Good day, fellas. As for those guys who thinks Church is a Cool business. I laugh Go and give a try. Na that time u go know say, no be Bobo.
No business is easy to start and grow. You think Mark Zuckerberg just woke up and made Facebook the success it is?
DoveXlover: Why Did They Give The Hair Of A Woman That Died In 1962 To Kim Kardashian?
Looking at everything that Went on at the just concluded met gala awards in USA. One thing brought out my curiosity, it was Kim Kardashian putting on the dress Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 when she went to sing happy birthday to president F Kennedy. So it's obvious they have kept the dress she wore ever since then because after she sang the happy birthday song, she died three months later.
Kim had to lose weight in other to put on the dress but what caught my attention was that Marilyn Monroe's hair was giving to Kim Kardashian as a gift.
I find it kind of strange that they kept the hair of a woman that died in 1962 which is 60 years ago.
Why did they keep the hair? For what purpose did they keep the hair for and why give a lock to Kim Kardashian?
I don't know if it's only me that find this Very disturbing.
After Kim Kardashian was presented with the lock of the hair, what she said got my attention, she said and i quote: Oh my god I’m literally going to do some crazy voodoo shiiit and channel her
I don't know if it was a joke or not but everything just seems very strange to me.
The question is that i understand if they kept the dress Marilyn Monroe wore 60 years ago but why did they keep her hair?
Dtruthspeaker: You are a spectacularly stupid fool, who thinks because you can read, you can know.
"TERRORIST, BANDITS, YAHOO-YAHOO BOYS, DRUG DEALERS, ETC WILL NEVER BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTABLE IF THE NATION HAS TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COMMIT THE CRIMES FIRST!
if not that this was very important for the public to know, I would not have responded to you. You are too Stupid for any reasonable engagement.
Show us the ones that were arrested because they were merely thinking of it.
Intention to kill. "Animus necandi" Section 316 (1) (2) and (4). Criminal Code.
Intention to steal "Animus furandi" Section 383 (2) Criminal Code.
LoLz! Where in those does it say you can prosecute someone for his thoughts. For Andromeda's sake the crime has already been physically committed!
Section 316 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Definition of murder
Except as hereinafter set forth, a person who unlawfully kills another under any of the following circumstances, that is to say‐ (1) if the offender intends to cause the death of the person killed, or that of some other person; (2) if the offender intends to do to the person killed or to some other person some grievous harm; (3) if death is caused by means of an act done in the prosecution of an unlawful purpose, which act is of such a nature as to be likely to endanger human life; (4) if the offender intends to do grievous harm to some person for the purpose of facilitating the commission of an offence which is such that the offender may be arrested without warrant, or for the purpose of facilitating the flight of an offender who has committed or attempted to commit any such offence;
Section 383 of the Criminal Code Act in Nigeria. Definition of stealing
(2) A person who takes or converts anything capable of being stolen IS deemed to do so fraudulently If he does so with any of the following intents‐
For crying out loud the person has already killed someone/stolen something! Bwahahahahaha! SMH.
Image123: i see. No one is in doubt of the bold, in fact the Bible teaches it. Also, the post that you were responding to didn't talk about bad thoughts in general but about lusting after your neighbour's wife. On evaluation, you cannot really know the thoughts of a person talk less of evaluate. Only God knows the thoughts, intents and motives of every man and will give proper judgement in due season.
Wizzy13: 7th of this month is her birthday, so we went to a photo studio only for her to tell me that she's not gonna do that with me. I felt bad and i left immediately, guys pls what is the reason for her action
Most likely she has someone else that will cause her problems if seen with another guy. Free her o, no carry headache for person wey no get your time.
Image123: i responded to your saying it is impossible(There is no way to avoid such thoughts) not to "look at your neighbour's wife lustfully". This my friend is very possible by God's grace. i have not looked/thought at my neighbor's wife/wives lustfully in years. But i went on to explain more clearly about different types of thoughts. It will be wrong to group all thoughts together in the context.
My aim was not to imply that all thoughts are the same but to assert that bad thoughts in general cannot be completely exorcised from the mind and that it is not thoughts that we evaluate in a person but their actions.
"You have asked a good question but the answer can not be gotten by merely exercising your intellect (though that's part of it ) but the truth can only be revealed or let's say "UNVEILED "
You see ! I said " can not be gotten by merely exercising your intellect (though that's part of it )"
In fact the bible says in Hebrews 5:13-14 [13]For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
[14]But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
It commends those who exercise their senses to discern both good and evil .
So what am I trying to say ? What I meant to say is "though it is important to exercise your senses to discern the things of God or concerning God yet your senses are limited and lacks the full capacity to decipher the things of God because they are spiritual ."
as it is written 1 Corinthians 2:14 [14]But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
It says " the things of God's spirit are to be spiritual discern even though you have the faculty for discernment which is your mind and intellect but yet you still need to open your mind for inspiration and yield your intellect for reasoning and your heart for meditation through the spirit of God ."
simply put: allow the spirit of god to gain acces into your heart and let him teach you and inspire you with thoughts and imaginations that can not be created by the carnal capability of your mind unless that of the holy spirit .
In other words: recieve Spiritual inspirations from the holy spirit then exercise your intellect to read in between and also ecercise your faculty of discernment to know what it means ,to gain understanding and to separate what is truth from what is falsehood.
You didn't really dispel what I wrote, you are still saying one should be credulous. That is not a recipe for obtaining truth.
Image123: i have answered your question comprehensively. When you say "so", it implies that you think i said otherwise. The Bible doesn't teach that anyone has never sinned or had bad thoughts. So the word "never" should not be in question. ALL have sinned. If you are asking if i have bad thoughts like i explained, NO. i have made a covenant not to think bad thoughts. If you are asking if bad thoughts cross my mind. YES, bad thoughts cross everyone(including the man Jesus)'s mind but in differing frequencies. Bad thoughts are temptations from the devil usually due to things we encounter/experience. In this case, we cast down and bring into captivity every imagination and thought to the obedience of Christ.
Do you recall that your first response was that by the grace of your god it was possible to never have bad thoughts so do you now agree that there is no way to avoid having bad thoughts because that is what you just admitted.
