Don't get your hopes up about their yeye Lagos o. I laughed my head off at that part. Left a few minutes later. Will see the thing again, if it's good.

bee22:
Seen Wolverine and its not bad at all.
And the LAgos,Nigeria scene, absolute crap.Didn't show Lagos at all.But they went to the east and spoke some igbo in the earlier part of the movie.They came to get some rare metal from Naija.

So that was Ibo? I thought they were faking it, since someone on Wolverine's team spoke the language.

Where's the part 2 na?

spikedcylinder:
A lot of people (myself included) don't get the "hotness" of Brad. I know he can look hot in some pictures, but whats the big deal? I don't get Depp's too. Bite me iice.

Brad and Depp are beautiful men. Like Dicaprio, Djimon Housou,Colin Farell, Terence Howard, etc. Which actors are hot on the Spi-ke-meter?

vescucci:
Spike, prepare to be more than bitten. You're gonna have a one way blood transfission. I hear about the Lagos thingie in Wolverine and I admit it's got me curious.
@Max. It sounds like you saved me 2hrs. Since The Rock, Nic Cage has gone down hill. Even National treasure didn't save his ass. Ford Coppola will turn in his grave

Knowing isn't bad, if you like slight fare and formula and bad child acting. Check it out. You might not mind too much.
Time was all a movie had to have was Cage on it, and I'd go see it or buy DVDs. Not anymore. But he did make some great action movies. The Rock, oh yeah! Con Air.Whoo!

Er, the 'Lagos' part of Wolverine? Hm.

mazaje:
when you tell christians that you do not believe in their god the disparage, ridicule and treat you badly, i have had so many experiences so why not ridicule and show them how inconsistent their arguments and beliefs are. . . .

Ah. Now I understand you a little better. Okay.

mazaje:
personal experience again. there are million of muslims out there that read the koran and cry bitterly because when the read the koran what they see is who they really are, to them there is no truth and reality that does not exist in the koran every thing the see happening in the world and life in general they see it in the koran. . . i have seen many people read the koran and cry some publicly. . . . because of the "truth" and "reality" they see in it. . .how is your own experience better than theirs?

Well, you can't take the spirit to the lab for empirical testing. Personal experience is all there is,all there can be. You want some sort of 'communal experience' where we relate to God as a group or tribe or country? You'll find that more convincing? I can't answer for muslims that cry on reading the Koran! Though I might be able to relate if I knew which part of the koran made them  cry.How is my own experience 'better' than theirs? I'm not sure there's a basis for comparison or 'rating' of spiritual experiences on some Good, Better,Best scale. I think what you're saying is, which is the genuine experience, since we hold different beliefs?How can I possibly know that? 

As for the Bible you have to remember human beings wrote it. And it was revised and edited many times,all sorts of stuff were added to it.Unintended translation errors also abound. The teaching about hell I find a bit confusing.'Gehenna' or hell is a place where the wicked are punished in fires that burn day and night and never ends. But Gehenna also happens to be an actual place on the outskirts of Israel at the time, a huge refuse dump where fires were kept burning day and night, where refuse and the bodies of animals and dead criminals were thrown,where the 'worm quencheth not'. Until one actually gets something close to the original,untainted material I see no point in arguing scripture I didn't write, and verses that might be the true work of the original author, or something a translator or editor added because it conformed to his ideas of right and wrong and justice and punishment.

They say God is a God of the Jews only?Jews wrote most of the bible, and their ideas'll naturally be influenced by their environment and history and culture, and the prevalent attitudes of their day. I don't think God focused on the Jews and ignored the rest of humanity. Perhaps if one were to compare the religious histories of most tribes some picture might emerge.  I find the story of Akhnenaten fascinating. I first came across him in a book on Moses by Freud and read up on him . He was an Egyptian pharaoh in antiquity who encountered a 'being of great brightness', so bright he named him 'Aten' So profound was their encounter that he changed his own name to reflect this god's. He built a new capital, and named the city after the 'Bright Being'. He was consumed with zeal for this being and wrote verse upon verse about him, which read exactly like old testament psalms and hymms. At first he tried to reconcile Aten with the other Egyptian gods, but he soon earned the enmity of the priests of other Egyptian gods by declaring Aten the 'supreme being' and 'only true god', and insisting other gods in Egypt must go. Sound familiar?

Perhaps he was partial to them but I don't think God was a 'God of the Jews only'.

Funny thread. Why was Brad getting bashed? Is it bhis fault he's beautiful? So Jolie has a knack for choosing the worst scripts she can lay her hands on. She's not overrated. I have a problem with her wanting to be a sex goddess in every darn movie, and trying too hard to prove she's an alpha female in all her roles, but that's it. I like her jor.

Ehen, because you heard 'Lagos' was inside, abi?
Post a review so we know what the whole movie's like. I so don't want to sit through it unless I know it's good.

Yeah. But I only saw about 20 minutes or so.Liev Shreiber's in it .You might be happy to know Wolverine's first assignment was in Lagos, Nigeria.
If anyone's seen the full thang, reviews please!

Perhaps.
Perhaps an illusory 'God' takes the credit for answered prayer, and we fabricate excuses when there's no response.
Maybe it's all in the mind.
And maybe there's a real God who does answer prayer.

That everyone's prayer cannot be answered isn't surprising; there are millions of people on the planet with their own agendas. And one man's answered prayer might translate into another's request-refusal. Couple that with the fact that most of us are self-centred, with most of our praying focusing on ourselves and our needs virtually ALL the time. We might quickly mumble some insincere prayer for others, to feel more Christian. But within moments we're happy to be back on familiar ground,praying for ourselves.If God chooses to not take part in our self-adulation, who's to blame him? I don't know how prayer works but I have experienced some things in the past few months and know for a fact that God exists. Two incidents I still find incredible,but won't mention them.Men may have added to the Bible but they didn't add everything. And the Bible does say God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. If you seek him, you will find.

I don't care about who answers the prayers of muslims and Hindis. I think God loves ALL his creation and has abandoned none.That's not for me to worry about. He will save many,not just some narrow, self-righteous fraction of humanity. He is more than able to save, and he's not bound to act according to our standards of justice and our interpretations of the Bible. Who he saves, how he saves, who he judges, how he judges are, who he answers,how he answers are entirely up to him. Go and ask him yourself if you have questions about those.

I'm surprised at how presumptious many atheists are. You don't believe in God but have somehow come to believe Christians owe you explanations for everything. They owe you no such thing. I find it interesting that, on a Christian forum, there are few threads where they can unite and fellowship in peace. Naw, their energies are taken up fighting and debating and explaining and defending and apologising for their beliefs.
Interesting.

You know something? I read a passage in John and was moved to tears at how compassionate Christ is. The guy is too cool for this world. After a while I read the same passage,as if I were an atheist. The same passage I'd cried over seemed unconvincing,because I was looking for a lie. I spent a long time wondering about that, and had to conclude that, when you read the Bible, what you see is who you are.

vescucci:
Ha. I didn't know The Knowing was about all that doomsday stuff. My brothers told me there was a creepy boy who could see d future by interpreting numbers. They say he could see 419 and say four crooks and one politician will be indicted on d 9th. What's all this earth falling into its star business? And how the hell can a story like that have a good ending. I expect everybody to fry. Or did everyone move to Mars?

Lol! Your brothers sound as wacky as you.
Schoolchildren were told to draw pictures the school would seal in a time capsule and bury for 50 years.A creepy gal wrote tons of numbers instead. Present day, 50 years later: Nicolas Cage is an unconvincing astrophysics professor in a class full of dumb MIT students.Cage's no-talent pickin attends the same school the numbers gal did. The time capsule is unsealed and Cage's son naturally get the numbers the creepy gal had scribbled madly 50 years ago. Cage deciphers it. It accurately predicts every major disaster of the past 50 years, giving dates, locations and casualty figures. It predicts the end of the world. On the day before 'solar flares' incinerate the world, aliens arrive and take Cage's underserving son aboard, with another little girl. Cage they leave behind to bite the dust with the rest of humanity. The sun turns earth to toast. Boy and girl are set down in a lovely new earth-like planet to 'be fruitful and multiply' more Hollywood crap. Boy runs around cheerfully so you know he didn't give a rat's ass about Nicolas Cage.
Complete spoiler. You asked for it

Most of them are crude, illiterate, ganja-crazed animals drunk on the 'power' of holding a rifle. What a horrible story. Horrible horrible horrible horrible. And to beat the parents and lock them up after murdering the child? What the hell's that? Why did he shoot at them, were they firing at him from the car? Was he in danger?And all they can say is that the guy has been dismissed from the force?

Evil will never depart from his life;he and all those that beat up that couple. They will never know another happy moment in their lives.

pekmide:
Now guys, after all is being said and done, let me share my experiences with the deeper life church with you.
I was once a vice - president of a deeper life fellowship in my secondary school and until recent times I was very comfortable around "the Deepers". In 2004, God led me to this beautiful sister, who happened to be a member of my fellowship in school as well as a member of deeper life church at home, Since her parents attend deeper life church and all the children are compelled to do the same.

I believe in Obedience to parents, so I saw nothing wrong with children attending their parents churches until they can take their own mature decisions, Well, I also attended my father's church till God had to show my dad himself that I ought to be in another denomination 'cause of my kind of assignment in life.

Well, I have courted a "a deeper" for five years in all purity, She's born again and I'm born again and it's now time to get married. , and the church is threatening to sanction my fiancee's parents, I don't want to start my relationship on a wrong note, It is not good that one's mother in - law be sanctioned because her daughter is getting married to a "non - deeper",

My questions to "the deepers" on this forum are as follows

1. Should I let go of the will of God for my life because of denominational differences
2. Are those of us raised in places like CAC, TAC, Latter Rain, RCCG etc not heaven bound? Please answer using the scriptures inductively, saying only what it said not adding to it nor subtracting from it?
3. Should my mother in law be "sanctioned and punished" for allowing the will of God in her daughter's life?
4. What really is our offense, (Me and my fiancee)? Because, we have not slept with each other, the relationship is over five years, we are ready psychologically, financially and spiritually to get married. We know our purpose and we have prepared ourselves to fulfill it.
I need an answer, I will not even mind if Bro. Kumuyi himself will answer, I've been trying to get across to him but I've been obstructed by so many obstacles. I really want to take my case to him.

Wow. You need the church's permission to get married? What does 'sanction' her parents mean? They're obviously afraid you'll take the lady away from the church, which is tantamount to 'missing heaven'. It's natural to be zealous over their spiritual charge, i.e, the girl, but I thought Church leaders prayed and sought God on such issues, not play Deputy God in people's lives. I don't know much about the church. Never been there. But their ideas on choosing your marriage mate seems to be antediluvian and sometimes outright absurd. I once overheard a member recounting how a lowly,unemployed 'brother' saw his future wife in a vision. The lady in question was a single, well-to-do member. He told the Church elders, who told the lady. She refused, that she didn't know him and didn't like him; but they assured her the 'will of God' has nothing to do with 'worldly' feelings like 'love'; that God knew best and most of them didn't like their mates at first but later appreciated them after years of marriage! Good grief! Of course the lady bowed to pressure and married the vision-seeing ass.
One appreciates their high standards, but you can be holy and grounded in the real world,can't you?

Kim Kadarshian is utter crap. Shitty wannabe actress makes the others on your list look like Meryl Streep. She's in a whole other category with horrors like Paris Hilton.

Saw Knowing:
The boy who portrays Cage's kid is a bad actor. Okay movie, but unlikely scenario. Yes, the earth moves closer and closer to the sun every year as orbits it, but it won't fall into the sun for a very very very very long time. And people would've long died or moved underground before the planet gets close enough to be incinerated. Anyway, na film no be documentary. Liked the ending, the new beginning. And how they didn't allow 'agbaya' Cage to come with them.

vescucci:
I'm very surprisedattebayo. U mean u watch this anime MAX sama? Nani?

Hai, Vescucci-san. Naruto is the best. Honto. Ninjitsu moves are explained while you're half-dead laughing. I love the hopeless loudmouth Naruto himself and sensei Kakachi. And the fights are great. I watch it ooooo

tpia:
the weird thing is some women will snub a guy because of his ugly looks. But as soon as they see a wedding ring on his finger and know he's with someone, they'll suddenly get the hots for him and find the man so attractive. (not referring to the OP )

Yeah. There are lots of people who don't know what they want. They want only what other people want; if a thing's wanted by someone else it suddenly has value and they want it too.

@post
Man if you notice the guy is ugly you certainly don't love him. Groom him if you want. As your friendship grows, if he's a good person you'll like him very much and you'll be surprised how suddenly attractive you'll find him.

Seconded and multi-nominated nominations will be added. They can't make up their minds, is why many categories overfloweth.

Saw:
Wolverine: Their Lagos,Nigeria made me guffaw. Didn't finish

The Spirit: It looks like Sin City, it talks like Sin City, but is it Sin City? NO.

Majaze get thine jaded, cynical ass outta here. You don't think there's God, fine. It's mass self-deception, fine. Leave it alone. Abi ki lo de?

The bicycle thing's, um,er,well, funny.

The Number One at Surprising People Ninja.

They can't make up their freakin' minds. I think it's overall.

spikedcylinder:
Wait a minute, have you guys talked about TRAITOR on this thread? I went to see it last night and fell asleep around the time they escaped the prison. Should I go back and watch?
[/quoteJ

JS's seen it and reviewed it in the previous page.

The nominations, so far, are in the box above.
Categories are incomplete cos they can't make up their minds. See them fighting like children here.
Vesc, submit your nominations. Worst Television series? Creepiest Child actors? The voting starts after nominations are complete.

vescucci:
@Max. Must all the eligible films be those from the 1st quarter of this year or you were only talking about best picture. Reason is a lot of films came out middle of december last year. It just wouldn't be fair. How about we make the eligible films be those that were not nominated at the Academy Awards?

Well, my entire clan is spending the holidays with me, so it's a mad house right now. They're nominating while I keep score. Thought you guys might want to vote too. So I pasted it here where they can all keep track when they leave. OK the movies rule is revised. Movies from the last quarter 08 till present, and yes, not oscar-nominated. Some categories are filled, most not. I'm filling those out now. You don't have to submit for every category. Just the ones you want.

Saw BOLT- Good fun.
Rachel Getting Married- Anne Hathaway was simply stupendous.

Nollywood is getting better in what way? It gets worse. No passion for their art, and worse, no knowledge, talent or training is considered necessary. They can't master subtle acting and plot, and the technical aspects are hopeless. They churn out senseless crude plot ripoffs and think they have arrived. The movies at Nollywood's inception, Glamour Girls and the rest, were far better. The farther you go back in time, the better the filmmaking.

Oh, before y'all lose your way, I changed the thread title as requested.

What is the will of God?

Man, some people with degrees aren't as qualified as you. Where are you? If you're in NG, there are universities that will accept you via Direct Entry. You need to have GCE qualifications. I'm surprised you have the smarts to get all the IT stuff and yet haven't settled the O level issue. Take GCE. You can apply to universities while awaiting the results. Use your qualifications to work and support yourself while you get a degree.
You may also take SAT if you're interested in an American education and think your scores may be good enough to qualify you for scholarship. Get a degree, but don't let your life be all about that. You can rack up more professional qualifications and start consulting. You may start your own business, and get a part-time or online degree.

'Cause miost of them are lazy and their work is mostly, er, crap.
Na only una get flag? Why isn't the internet full of Union Jacky and Star-spangled themed sites?
Lazy!

Who knows?
But you can see it's grossly abused. You come across books and teachings that issue formulas for 'manipulating' God into giving what you want. Like God doesn't want to give you these stuff and you have to work hard to overcome his resistance.

Prayer seems to work, though. There was something I badly wanted for five years. I can't overstate how much I wanted this 'thing'. One morning in February I was overcome with profound despair and cried. Well, you know how only God is supposed to be able to read your thoughts? I thought a prayer. I don't even know if it qualifies as one. I just thought:

You know how badly I want this. Don't make wait. Don't draw this out. If you're really there and you really care, let me have this TODAY.

That was all. I went about my day, terribly unhappy .
By 3 PM  that afternoon I HAD THAT VERY THING.

I was devastated, of course. Why, of the two thousand days I'd been longing for this, did I get get it on the day I asked? Why not the next day, or the next month or the next year?

Prayer seems to work, as long as we're not being silly about it. I get what you mean about people sitting pretty and waiting for what they want to be handed to them, though. You're supposed to work and strive for what you want.

Yeah, the adverts then were the best. I just loved the Thermocool ad. Tina Turner's Pepsi advert and that first Close Up ad! I remember Winds Against My Soul and Behind the Clouds, and how we all cried when the dude that played Nosa died. Where is Dangermouse,Fragglerock,Voltron and Muppet show in ya list? Those were the best!

I get what you're saying about Traitor. I'll check it out. It might be flawed but I'm yet to see a Cheadle performance that is.  The guy is uber-talented.

Vesc, is your friend on his way to getting his wings? How's he doing?
Yeah. Cheadle looks Ibo or middle belt.

[color=#9900ff]Nope, the movie aint working for me. The end was the best part I would have done what she did since the first guy. . .actually i would have knifed him in the kahunas [/color]

Trust you to like only Dogville'S ending. Try The Last House on the Left. The uncut Wes Craven original. That's the most horrific movie ever. Even you wouldn't be able to take it.

Didn't you feel sorry for Tom? He was no better than the rest and pretended he was.
