aruzuoke: I'm not trying to generalize here. This is just a subjective opinion but I've noticed that people tend to be more spiritual and religious when they are experiencing financial difficulty.

222Martins: What if God decides to give you a chance to live in the biblical times of old? Who would you choose to be and tell us why?
For me, i would love to be King Solomon........Money, Power, Women, Respect, Wisdom. But i don't want to end up like him oooo.

misreal: which kind shoe be dis na.dis shoe reminds me of queen elizabeth de 50th

irecruit: this is suicide. How will an intelligent and normal person wear such a thing? I really pity them cos they are suffering their self. Sorry to all those wearing high hill shoes.

alienvirus: I always pity women that put on such high heels. They sincerely suffer in silence. How on earth will someone with right senses put any of these on?

Women! Over to you...

james1: Most women are moved first by what they see,the world over.just that the reasoning of gals outside Nigeria is very different.
90% of Nigerian gals are egoistic and madly materialistic,true love is very hard to find here,we can't blame them much cos the reasons are not farfetched;they want to change the statuse quo.

Mynd_44: Why can't there be a name for something that does not exist? What are goblins, trolls and other creatures? They are mythical stories told around camp fires and so they have names deal with ti and stop trying to rate something with your mind

T_Bademosi: I just wanna know if some of us have experiences with astrological predictions. Were they accurate?

I stumbled on one some days ago and I received like pages of my perceived life history.

I want to believe that some people are obsessed with this thing or that they are already chained by this unimaginable force, in that,what the astrologers had predicted would happen to that person is what he or she will be using to guide his or her life. Its like chains I want to believe.

Imagine like telling you "if you are not in a particular location next week you may miss out on an important social relationship and it may have a negative effect on your financial life forever", but eventually unforeseen phenomenon materialized and you were unable to be there, what kind of mindset would such a person start having if he or she is not strong/ grounded in faith or a person who is visionary and has drive.

Please share your views about your experience with astrology.

NB: Those that have workable knowledge of how it works can contribute too.

Ramon_Baba: Hi everyone,

I would like to hear people's opinion on Marrying Outside One's Religion.

I happen to know a friend who’s dating someone he loves and vice-versa. They seem to enjoy each other’s company and find true happiness together. In short, they both have what the other desire. The only problem is that my friend is a Muslim and his Girl is a Catholic Christian.

He isn’t really worried about the early years of their marriage but 5-7yrs into the marriage when kids are grown. He would want his children to practice Islam, but the Girl want the children to practice both and decide latter when they are matured. It is important to also note that, the girl doesn’t mind getting married to him as a Muslim and her as a Christian..

Should he just fashy they girl regardless of the love he has for her or Can they really work out their religious differences.

They both seem happy right now even though they practice different religion, but the problem lies with marriage.

mazaje: Religion also can, and very much does, inhibit a person's moral growth and development. The religion based ethics that people advocate always boils down to a variation on the "might makes right" theme, or other similarly flawed foundations (e.g., since the god created us we are obligated to obey it). Religious based ethics or moral is always based on the "us versus them" idea, "We versus the world". The moral or ethics is always predicated on this shaky platform. . . . By giving people false ideas about ethics, religion is actually stunting their ability to fully understand real ethics. Aside from those kinds of meta-ethical issues, religion also gives people horrible normative ethical principles on issues ranging from freedom of speech, women's rights, child indoctrination and abuse, gay rights, etc. Our world would be far better off ethically if religion did not play such an influential role IMO. Secular ethics remain the best because it is comprehensive and tries to involve every body. . . .

binger: Yeah! Human behaviour can be that weird.Letting a movie scene get the better of your emotions. I remember when i was watching the last season of 24, jack bauer and his team despite all their efforts to save President Hassan,failed to do so.You cant imagine how furious i was seeing Hassan's throat had been slit.I later realised i was dissipating energy over a movie.of course i laughed at my 'stupidity'. So,tell us how emotional u've gotten over a film. Even if you've cried as a guy while watching a film,abeg share...Hey! i forgot to mention this...i really cried the day i watched "Passion Of The Christ" and i am proud i did.infact,whoever did not cry after watching that movie tara isi mbe(ate a tortoise head)lol

iykofias: this is one question that always ponders my mind.

why should a parent after giving birth to children will finger just one out of the rest as his/her favourite.

The need of this so called 'favourite' is met rapidly even if it has to be at the expense of others.

my question is: as a parent should the idea of having a favourite even pop up at all?

destinedtee: It all depends on the motive of the parents.If they dress their kids merely for competition,then its pathetic because they will be inculcating wrong values into them.On the other hand,if it is to make them look good and cute,then its okay.However,it should be done moderately.The term 'moderately' is relative anyway.

binger: By saying accessories,i mean necklace,bangles,rings,watches etc...

i happen to live in the Federal Capital Territory,and i see a lot of mothers dress the kids(especially girls) in the most expensive way.there is this sense of competition over whose kid dresses better.yeah,this is common among the elite and am sure you've noticed this trend if you stay in a city.

So,my question-is right to do so?doesn't that expose the kid to early want of material things? I remember a birthday party i attended.one of the invitees came with her lil girl who was literally sophisticated in dressing like her mum.she(lil girl) went home without her adorable necklace.

i guess she innocently gave it to a random guy. So,what's your take on this?

Mckybarf: what is your beef with tithe paying. If according to you it is not neccesary, fine, but leave the rest of us who find it necessary be. After all, it isnt your money. People waste money on phones, ipads, cars, private jets, drinks, women, sex and nobody has a problem with that. Why bother those who wanna trust God with their substance by investing in his kingdom?

dekung: Well, I wont agree that the world would be more peaceful once religion is abolished, however we will have one less thing to kill ourselves over and tithe paying christians would have more money in their pockets.

frosbel: sorry dear bro but may I say Fail !!

frosbel: You totally miss the whole point of the death of Christ, he came to save us from SIN and it's consequence which is DEATH not eternal torment.

If our punishment was eternal torment then Jesus did not take this punishment for us. Our punishment is death and this is why Jesus came to defeat death , sin and the power behind these vices.

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil - Hebrews 2:14

berem: So wetin make we do now? After writing this long sermon,the OP couldn't profer solution? Mtscheeew!

frosbel: Thank You.

frosbel: Can you show me in the bible where literally MAN is said to be an immortal soul.

Kindly let us have bible verses to back up your claims and not church traditional arguments.

frosbel: Thank You.

frosbel: If immortal souls have bodies -- fingers, toes, eyes, etc.. - based upon Luke 16 and the parable of Lazarus and the rich man... then what use is there for a resurrected body? If the soul has a physical appearance, with human appendages, then the body rotting in the grave is of no further use, and reuniting the immortal soul with its resurrected body at a future date would be useless.

William Tyndale, who first translated the Bible into English made the point:
"And ye, in putting them (the dead) in heaven, hell and purgatory, destroy the arguments wherewith Christ and Paul prove the resurrection....if the souls be in heaven, tell me why they be not in as good a case as the angels be? And then what cause is there of a resurrection.... The true faith puteth forth the resurrection, which we be warned to look for every hour. The heathen philosophers, denying that, did put that the souls did ever live. And the pope joineth the spiritual doctrine of Christ and the fleshy doctrine of philosophers together: things so contrary that they cannot agree....And because the fleshy-minded pope consenteth unto heathen doctrine, therefore he corrupteth the Scripture to establish it."

William Tyndale was able to see what most in our day cannot. A resurrection of those who are still alive (in heaven or hell) is no resurrection at all but an empty show.

Consider what the Apostle Paul had to say concerning the necessity of the resurrection:
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 1 Cor 15:13-18

The belief that the righteous and wicked go to their reward in heaven or hell not only destroys the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, but it destroys the core doctrine of the necessity of Jesus' death. If Abraham and Lazarus and all the ancient faithful were rewarded for their lives of righteousness BEFORE Jesus was even born and died, then why did Jesus have to die in the first place? Obviously Abraham got to "paradise" without Jesus, so why does one need Jesus in the first place?

Mckybarf: need i remind you that christians dont need ishmaelites to interpret CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE FOR US?! our religion is based on faith in JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD ALMIGHTY OF Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who through his eternal sacrifice offered himself once to God for the world that those who believe in him, his vicarious death and triumphant resurrection might become heirs of Abraham and co-heirs with Christ. Christian doctrine is not based on islamic teaching. We have nothing in common, absolutely nothing, but for being human beings. As far as i am concerned christians and moslems dont have the same God. The islamic God has muhammed as messanger, the christian GOD has Jesus as his only begotten SON who died and that the world might be saved through Him. The islamic God is one who has his headquarters in mecca, and the christian GOD is one with three personalities( FATHER, SON, AND SPIRIT) and operating in three dimensions: dwells in Heaven of the heavens.....should i go on....... Please, your prejudiced comments will only be needed elsewhere.

Sweetnecta: @Truthman2012: you dont have to die before can be forgiven. to say someone died for your sin is fool.hearty. While there is no acceptance of repentance of death bed, the Bibles agrees with the muslims that the sinner shall have his rewards of what is reward of sin is, unless hs repentance is accepted and be forgiven by God, no Jesus.

I am sure you are aware that Jesus will reject almost all of you christians because he said will reject the "miracle workers by his name" among you. You are a miracle worker here and now trying to cajole us to accepting fallacy we dont want.

Forgiveness is without human blood being spilled. Thats what we see in Quran where forgiveness is made easiest; made directly to Yahweh sincerely from the heart.

Most of you have never seen an ex muslims, before. You only read about them, true or false ex-muslims on the web. I have seen ex-christians and ex-jews with my own very eyes. I even have some in my life; my mother, my spouse, a whole bunch of my friends and associates. i am working on many "christian" families both in chicago and beltsville maryland. I pray that God soften their hearts to know 3 is not 1 and 1 can never be 3. God does not accept human to be sacrificed to him and if Jesus was sacrificed as you claim, he was not sacrificed to God and God will not sacrifice Jesus to satan.

Forgiveness does not have to be a blood sport. Not with God. maybe with you people and satan.
