God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night.◄Genesis 1:16 ►
But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHTMark 13:24

Good news

Impossible

Good for them

Pr0ton:
We are derailing.

If it is, so be it. One thing leads to another. Let me ask you my question and we'll revert back to the original. How can I prove Heliocentrism to a geography student? If you don't know, we can continue with the topic.

Rxpetite:
those commandments sound easy enough to follow. just wait until a naija christian interpretes it for you. it will become unrecognizable. i have no problem with christianity or the bible. my problem is with all these over sabi christians and pastors in Nigeria

If it is on that, we are on the same page.

Pr0ton:
The same Bible of course.

Buy the truth, and sell it not;also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Proverbs 23:23
All the things man has used to explore space was gotten fron conquering the earth. If you can conquer yourself, your mind, you have conquered everything. For either Good or Bad, Sweet or Sour is determined by yourself and self alone.
A question has been puzzling my mind, can I ask you?

Rxpetite:
The bible is strict but apparently not strict enough for Nigerians. Seems like God forgot to add a lot rules in the bible so Nigerian christians have decided to add them for him. Every passage in the bible has to be interpreted in such a way that it binds our hands, legs and suppresses us until we can't breathe.

Just go to the religion section of nairaland. Apparently christians are not allowed to have tattoos, wear earrings, must not listen to secula music, fix your hair, in fact the more scraggly and unattractive you look, the better christian you are.

Then explain how the Songs of Solomon made it into the Bible?
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? ◄Micah 6:8 ►
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22

Pr0ton:
I see no way of God here. He never intended us to get to space, did He? All His own is heaven ( for superhumans) and earth (for humans)

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.Job 32:8
And God said, Let us make man in our [size=20]image[/size] , after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
God made man to be as creative and innovative as HE is.
Which Bible are you talking about?

Rxpetite:
Christianity came to us directly from them. The vice you mentioned are nothing compared to what we have here. The few christians left there know how to balance their spiritual lives with cold reality. Nigerians believe that the more you suffer, the better Christian you become.

You mean they are better morally than us? Wonderful! No Nigerian believes the more you suffer, the more Christian you become. It is just a fact that the better the conditions you live in, the more you tend to forget about God. But a man of knowledge knows that in cries and in happiness, in health and in sickness, the fear of God is wisdom and to depart from evil, understanding. Embracing God can't reduce you as a man, neither can it blind you from the harsh realities of life (except you want to hide you laziness under HIM), it can only give you hope.

The ways of God

Rxpetite:

Is that why they dumped their religions on you, discarded them entirely while you are all fattening your pastors and impovershing yourselves? Is religion also dynamic?

Christianity spread from Israel. Did you say dump? You might be right afterall, but are they better off than then? The skyrocketting rate of divorce, porn, domestic killings, abortiöns and drugs are surely positive. The last time I checked, they still had a sizable number of christians.

DuchessLily:
Wonders will never end! there must be more to this

Occult and blackmail!!

You mean she couldn't have acted out of selfishness and sheer stùpidity? You must be very wise

The motive of people then was normal, which is at variance with the motive behind the dressing of a lot of women (who adjust their clothes in public as if it was forced on them).

I AM A YORUBA BUT THIS IS INSULTING TO OTHERS TRIBE AND IT IS NOT BEFITTING FOR FRONT PAGE

We need to expose those that are giving and have given us bad names in the comity of nations.

Rxpetite:


This is so funny. But they are just kids. Before then adults in some places also walked around unclad.

It just strikes me as ironic any time Nigerians condemn women for indescent dressing considering the fact that just years ago people walked around unclad.

Its funny that the Europeans who brought clothes to us now dress indescently but Nigerians who just discovered fabrics not too long ago are quick to condemn indescent dressing. Classic case of our always trying to be more catholic than the pope.

Culture is dynamic

Seriously?? According to oral history, western style clothes only came into the present day Delta state as recently as the 1930s, but even at that it is surprising that two decades after, kids went to school butt naked. In a bid for the European imperialists to sell their manufactured products, foreign textile materials and sewing machines were imported into the country, and the presence of these products made it possible for people in Delta, Ukwuaniland for example, to take up tailoring as an occupation. Before then, the Onicha-Ukwuani people were weavers of the local cloth called 'nchichi or 'ukor ogbolu,' a kind of cover cloth. This cloth is small in size, made of cotton and tied around the body. This was their mode of dressing before the influx of western style fashion which stifled the local industry.

At the risk of anachronism (judging past events using contemporary standards), I am seriously wondering why these children were not covered with nchichi before being shipped off to school. I can see one little boy at the extreme right who is the only one not in his birthday suit.

All so note that majority of the kids in the photo are male, unlike now when the opposite is the case. How times have truly changed.

lol Dunno why its hard for ladies to dress well

malvisguy212:
you claimed you read the thread dint you come across this;

To explain why, we need to go back to
Augustine who puzzled over the following
argument:
1. God created all things.
2. Evil is a thing.
3. Therefore, God created evil.

Then what kind of trick you want to play?

Evil is not evil when it is used to counter evil.

Should I laugh or cry? All my investments in this old man.

This pig-faced woman is plunging us into more and more debt. #neveragain shall a woman take our nation for a ride.
