OLAADEGBU:
What is 'Amen' in Hebrew? Go to this thread and educate yourself on the meaning of Shibboleth in the Bible:

https://www.nairaland.com/3307765/what-meaning-shibboleth-bible

Why bother yourself with a thread that you created to ask a question you answered yourself?

So 40000 men were slaughtered, not in battle but trying to cross a bridge, right?
That's genocide.

OLAADEGBU:
Do you end your prayers with 'Amen'? If not why not?

Yes, I do.
It's allegiance and obeisance to the unseen God,
The 4th angle in the triangle...

Amen-Ra

PS:
The triangle in this case:
The past (my ancestors) = The present (menxer) = The future (posterity)

OLAADEGBU:
If that is so, why did the OT prophets and the NT apostles use the word 'Amen' in the Bible?

Good question.

Take it one step back, where did the old testament came from?

Trace from Abraham or Jacob or Moses, if you like, you can't escape the Egyptian/Sumerian religious beliefs of the day.

Abraham was from Ur, capital of Sumer. What was the religious belief of the sumerians?

Jacob/his descendants lived for centuries in Egypt, are we saying they didn't inculcate the religious beliefs of the Egyptian?
Pharoah Aten started the worship of one God in Egypt, but was discontinued after his death. But you were told Moses started it.

Moses, raised and brought up in Egypt, as a Prince, later on lived with the Midianite Prophet, what was the religious belief of the Midianites?

Ponder on these things.

OLAADEGBU:
Thanks for the enlightenment.

orisa37:
AMEN represents IS in Heaven.. Just like Jesus is Christ in Heaven. AMEN is an Article of Covenant like ISAAC. . AMEN is Yes. AMEN is Thank You for Answered Prayers. It's the Y after A in PRAY meaning Yes after Asking. Hallelujah!!

To understand why we say Amen after prayers, you have to dig deeper than what you were told.

Amen is/was an Egyptian God. Do a little search on it.

Here is an Egyptian temple drawing of Amen, do you see any resemblance with our Bishops?

The first paragraph in my post reads, ASSUMING I AM A BLANK SLATE.........
According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, the word assuming means: used to suppose that something is true so that you can talk about what the results might be. Eg Assuming he is still alive, how old would he be now? This means he is not alive but how old would he be if he was still alive
Do you now get it
If I say 'assuming I am a blank slate....' Does that mean I am a blank slate? That was why the word ASSUMING is present in the first line of the first paragraph.
I graduated with Distinction in ND, and Upper Credit in HND and i have awards to show for it.
If you read further, i stated specifically that i had made researchs already but i need advice to make the right judgements.
A discerning mind would have interpreted my post thus:
Should I go for HND conversion to Bsc?
Should I go for a post graduate diploma?
Should I go for Masters directly.
Should I further in Nigeria or abroad.
My point being; even if my research can fill up 6 A4 papers, its nothing compared to those with experience and those that are in the system.

1) You have an ND and HND
2) You have done researches.
3) Meaning something is written on the slate based on 1 & 2
4) assuming the slate is blank negates 1 & 2
5) since 4 is true, I suggest you get a FSLC/WAEC, which will take you on a journey or process to 1.

Hawlahscho:
1 and 2. I dont have to believe that's the picture of Jesus Christ since the real person is still in existence. PEOPLE KNOW THIS.

3. I'm not an atheist, I am a Christian.

Anything with that? And I dont think I've in any way gone against the religion or the Lord Jesus himself.

Questions:

1) Do you believe that is the picture of Jesus Christ?

2) Do you believe that is not the picture of Jesus Christ?

3) Are you an atheist?

From your answers:

1) No
2) Yes
3) No

Marking scheme:
An atheist is one that "doesn't believe."
You "don't believe" that is the picture of Jesus Christ.
You are not an atheist.

Score yourself based on this marking scheme.

Hawlahscho:
I dont get

Please answer the following:

1) Do you believe that is the picture of Jesus Christ?

2) Do you believe that is not the picture of Jesus Christ?

3) Are you an atheist?

So RCCG now have 2 heads (GOs)

GO1 oversees RCCG global (including RCCG Nigeria)
GO2 oversees RCCG Nigeria

Why would RCCG Ghana not want GO3 as overseer?

Makes senses.

You are an HND graduate and still assume to be a blank slate?
Great.

Who want listen?

This can only be the work of an atheist...

Still trying to find the 4th angle of the triangle.

pareto:
Someone has just asked simple question but no answers given rather than bashing. I believe some mature people can give explicit explantion.

I didn't see your comment, I wouldn't have bothered with mine.

Renaissance2017:
Being a civilized, educated and enlightened person I expected him to capitalized the latter 'J' for Jesus. But he never did and he capitalized Matthew, David and Paul.

So Jesus is a noun and jesus is not, abi?

Swallow the elephant and strain the ant.

unmask:
but his PA said he is still GO of rccg worldwide.....so your justification of him being tired is actually false

So how many GOs of RCCG are there?

Why are we like these?

Daddyfreeze asked a simple question, so far nobody seems to have a clue to the answer but name calling.

I thought the gift and call of God is without retirement repentance?

Where does spirituality fit into your argument?

Anyways, I asked a similar question and the answer is an eye opener, if only you can answer for yourself.

if
A = B = C
can
A = C
when
A =/= B =/= C

It is finding the 4th angle of a triangle without distorting it.

Xensity:
I remember doing this when I was in primary three. I was 8 years old then. Me and my 8 year old friends would gather around with our pencils and 2A note books, and we would write down a country, state, animal and food, for every letter that we chose. This game kept our very immature, little minds busy, because we didn't have anything more productive and intellectually tasking to think about.

That is the game called life, it's still ongoing, watch this ...

Why am I reading your comment?
Because I don't have anything more productive and intellectually tasking to think about or do?

Like seriously?

Telecommunication subscribers in the country may be in for a rough year as the network operators are said to be considering another increase of their tariffs soon in order to sustain services amidst a tough operating environment.

Sources within the industry told LEADERSHIP Weekend that the major reason for the planned hike, according to the telecommunication operators, was the increasing multiple taxation by governments at different levels.

“Contrary to popular belief, telecom operators and service providers are barely sustaining existence in these times. We, therefore, suggest that an increase in value added tax (VAT), which is already included in all services of telecommunication by an increase that is not beyond one per cent, should be a good reform strategy,” he said.

The network operators had faulted the suspension of the data tariff floor by the NCC, insisting that data prices be set at realistic levels to ensure that they are able to provide first-rate quality of service to their subscribers. The suspended data tariff floor would have increased charges for data services used by consumers.

“The decision on the price floor was taken in order to protect the consumers who are at the receiving end and save the smaller operators from predatory services that are likely to suffocate them and push them into extinction. The price floor is not an increase in price but a regulatory safeguard put in place by the telecommunications regulator to check anti-competitive practices by dominant operators,”

 “We are aware that the NCC introduced the minimum price for data services to help ensure cost recovery and drive the continued investment in the telecommunications sector necessary for the provision of world-class data services for the overall benefit of the Nigerian subscriber and the Nigerian economy.”

Read only the bolded.

"A" is not equal to "B" is not equal to "C" for "A" to be equal to "C"

Where are the bigots that said change is not necessary?

if
A = B = C
can
A = C
when
A =/= B =/= C

Key:
A means "integer"
B means "integer"
C means "integer"
=/= means "not equal to"
= means " equal to"

if
A = B = C
can
A = C
when
A =/= B =/= C

Key:
A means "integer"
B means "integer"
C means "integer"
=/= means "not equal to"
= means " equal to"

This doesn't sound like NOI talking.

Besides I only see white lies rice no sauce.

okosodo:
When the time comes, they will return the money. The case is clear, you cannot prove that the money was stolen.

You are right.
All that is required is for her to proof she earned it, abi?

This is one long read.

Be ready for the name calling.

If several power plants are idle, what is the problem?

I remember sometime ago it was said that the problem is not power generation but transmission due to the old power lines not having the capacity to carry the load.

Now the solution is proffered and we are complaining about the letters of the tendering law being violated, yet it's the spirit that gives life to a project as the letter kills.

The same thing that caused the abandonment of the power supply equipment at the ports is what we want, in as much as the sanctity of the tendering process is not violated.

Thats a literary meaning and not the true meaning of the maxim.

Gold glitters
Diamond glitters
Platinum glitters
All are durable
All are desirable
All are precious
You make your choice

MonsieurCoder:
Have you tried withdrawing cash (dollars ) over the counter from your domiciliary account?

Not yet.
Charges will follow for sure.

Though I use it mostly for online transactions.

What do you mean by photocopy?

Those cars are original just looks similar to other popular brands.

If only we can copy the photocopy.

GTBank is the best, in this regard.

To open domicillary account you don't need a current account, with your regular savings account activate Internet banking, from the online bank portal request a dollar mastercard, the initial charges will be deducted from the savings account.

A dom account will be linked to the mastercard and ready for pick up in about 2 weeks later.
As easy and simple as that

That's how I got mine.
