'Obey' 'disobey'.

your wife is not a child to demand obedience from. I have a hunch her attitude is a last ditch effort to retain some dignity since you are already treating her like a child.

Change. Engage her like an adult. Talk to her like your mate not your subordinate. I believe you will see some compromise from her.

mrk74:
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate. However on the bolded, I'm not trying to compare us with our neighbour. We are quite better off than they in many aspects (financially and health of our relationship), so there won't be any basis of comparison and we are not the type though. I got the idea of vegetables from an online health journal but decided to make it the way our neighbour did because I had previously also learnt of some health benefits of unripe plantain which however I never used to enjoy right from childhood until the one I got from our neighbour.

mrk74:
Thank you very much for this input. Even though she is not really arrogant she does have a bit of ego and seems to hold a view that apology should not be necessary. This is something I want her to change. And I'm hoping that when she see's other people's opinion on this she will be more inclined to adjust.

Well, let's leave the issue of children pulling stunts aside. I still sense you're viewing it from post-Adamic fall now. I once wrote on my blog that the best way to get these things is to unlearn what you have learnt (that is, stop viewing it with the present). If you want to understand better, you've to journey back to the beginning and try and not use our present fallen state to judge.

Now, let me explain from your last statement that "Why go into all that trouble of creating a tree whose fruit should not be eaten when he could easily have not put the tree there in the first place."
Okay, this is where unlearning comes in. That's what we've been told over and over again. Even pastors do teach it and people believed it until revelation came to me. I went back to check and check, and I searched (I stand to be corrected), I can't find where it was written that God planted that second tree (TKGE). Yea, "out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." (Gen 2:9). We have to be very spiritually sensitive to biblical language. Also, the answer may not be in that book but find it at the end of the scripture (comparing spiritual things with the spiritual). So, the Lord God allowed these to grow. In other words, He allowed them to find expression without suppressing anything.

First thing you know concerning edenic knowledge is that Eden can grow anything. Now, know that God is a planter. He planted that garden, right? Remember I told you that if you want to know more about the first Adam, check the life of the last Adam (Jesus). He knew what Adam can only know. The Last Adam answered your question in a coded way when he was giving a parable that God planted wheat, and the enemy came to sow tares among the wheats. Apart from the end of days, Jesus was also showing us the operation of the Wicked One from the beginning of days. He hasn't changed from his ways. The Lord God planted the TOL, while Satan planted TKGE just beside that of God's own. Why did God allowed it then? I perceived Satan must have pressed God to allow Adam to choose just like the angels chose. By legal right, heaven had to allow him plant his own too. This is where the battle of man versus man comes in. Adam is a type of man, Satan too is a type of man. When we mention men in the Bible, often times, think of stature (spiritual). A child cannot fight a man, it will take a prince to fight another prince in the spirit. So, what transpired in Eden was a spiritual warfare. A lot of spiritual transactions, voices and thoughts were fighting each other. Adam wasn't ignorant. Believe me, Eve might be to an extent but Adam wasn't. He knew what he was doing. In other for Adam not to fail the test, God even gave him an expo, advanced amebo for him. It was like "hey, missjo, there's a tree in the middle of the garden beside TOL, the day you chop am, you go die o." God told the first Adam beforehand what the intention of who planted the tree wanna do to him. But remember the serpent said he won't die, you will be like God. You can see someone else was trying to defend his own stake and scamming scheme. Of course, I will defend my own proposal if I want to scam you, not another's proposal. I tell you, if Satan was the one that planted TOL, he would still defend it against TKGE.

So, you see, Adam wasn't stupid, he came to a time to choose between those two trees. He shied away from TOL for a reason - he could not endure the discipline the TOL offers to attain the image and likeness of God (to become the express image). Like you told that other guy, Adam wasn't yet that image. Your were right. He was meant to come into "Christhood". But TOL will take a longer time to achieve that. Adam was looking for a shortcut to become like God. Both tree was promising things but that of TKGE was extremely colorful, promising great things. You will be like God, but one of the trees was actually lying. You know which already. Same offer was given to the last Adam on the mountain- only worship me says the devil. Submit your authority.

Like I said, the promises of TKGE and pull from that tree, its fruit was too irresistible for Adam, it's like going to buy IPhone 7 for computer village and finding fufu inside. When Adam chose that tree, he submitted his authority to govern the earth. You can asked me what is it in the garden to govern? Adam was meant not just to spread Eden across our earthly realm, he was also meant to spread the knowledge of TOL to his offsprings who are living souls from generation to generation. Only Adams can rule the earth successfully. You now see why the world is in disarray. The person ruling the earth now is an illegal occupant. What is running this earth is his knowledge and colonization. Adam was meant to colonize the earth with his knowledge which he will get from TOL.

To the other question, did God knew Adam would fail after Satan pressed God to allow Adam to be tested? Using his omniscient power, of course He knew. Angels don't know what Adam's choice would be. At least, not all knew. They were only anticipating. God too had a plan for the onset. I perceived Adam was actually a trap meant for Satan. It's like putting a cheese on a trap for a mouse. Heaven has been looking for the rightful way to destroy Satan and finish him totally. Adam was a good platform. They would use Adam to put Satan in the lake of fire (the defeat came at the cross by the hand of the last Adam). When Satan fell for it, of course, he thought he has won, God was looking for a way to come to the earth. Jesus was crucified, they thought they've won. Immediately He was nailed to the cross, Satan shed tears, he dawned on him what actually happened. Now, they are fighting for their lives. So, that's it. I hope I have done justice to a level.

Let me answer your three questions straight up. I am not in support of America policing or interfering in any country as long as America is not threatened. I am an isolationist in the sense that I believe America should worry about America as long as no nation threaten her. About China, Russia and North Korea, I couldn't care about them or their hatred for US. America is a very strong country that can take care of herself. Your last question was if I am a Nigerian and if not what am I doing on Nairaland. I was born in Nigeria as an American citizen by both Nigerian American parents but grew up with my siblings in US. I don't hate Nigeria because Nigerian blood runs through my veins. I just don't like the way the country is being run to the ground due to corruption , greed, nepotism and tribalism. I visit Nigeria at least once or twice a year to see my folks who are back to Nigeria many years ago after their retirement . In fact, will be in Lagos in December. Critiquing your leadership is the highest form of patriotism. I criticize America too because I believe she's not perfect . I criticize America for her interventionalism and police brutality and senseless killings of minorities mainly Blacks and Latinos. I hope you got your answers.

Mindfulness:
I prefer a combination of all. I believe that there is a creative source and that it all started with a thought process and it's obvious that we are constantly evolving.

Mindfulness:
Hungary is part of the EU and the EU and the US of A are partners on many levels. It is legitimate to criticise your partners.
Obama also recommended that the British do not leave the EU. While some Brits got upset, others felt he supported them. Whatever you do, there is no pleasing everyone, especially not in politics, be it domestic or international. We have to allow freedom of speech on a global scale, we live in a globalized world. As long as you do not use bombs to force your opinion on others, a respectful dialogue should not be much of a problem. We would live in a much more peaceful world if we allowed and respected the opinions of others. It's hard sometimes, I know.

I think that you have asked the right questions which can initiate an interesting discourse but your rhetorics is part of the problem. You speak of the US as one political entity when in fact the US only exists as one geographical unit. The US like any other country is diverse and divided into different political camps, which also differ in their approach to international politics.

I think that we should be careful to condemn an entire nation, which consists of diverse political, religious, ethnic and racial groups. The Iraq War was one of the biggest biggest mistakes in human history but was it the US who invaded Iraq? No, it was the Bush jr. administration and if you want you can blame his voters too but what about the rest of America who didn't vote for him and who protested against the war?

It's more important than ever that we differentiate.

Again, who is the US here? Was it Obama, was it a Republican or was it a journalist or maybe a blogger? I am commenting on US presidential campaign all the time. Do I live in the US? No! Do I have the right to speak my mind? Yes, I do. Does it mean that I want to force my opinion on people? No. Is it my business? Yes! I live in a globalized world and what happens abroad affects me to some degree.

Again, who EXACTLY detonated these nuclear weapons? It's not the cab driver in New York or the strawberry picker from California, is it? And it wasn't even Obama, was it? And does it mean that all future governments have to keep quiet because of what former governmets did?

Generalisation again. It's not that simple. Even Putin's relations with what is called the West are changing all the time, for better or for worse, like in an ordinary marriage . And like in Russia, in China alike, people support or oppose US governments and policies. You can perfectly observe how complicated these issues are in different European countries because while European governments have sanctioned Russia after the annexion of Crimea, Putin enjoys a lot of support from the opposition in some of these countries and people are divided into pro Russia or pro US. I was reading the comments under an article on the Syrian war yesterday. Europeans were fighting a cyber war and the two camps involved were either pro Russia or pro US. I was wondering if in all of this they forgot that this way of thinking is responsible for millions of casualties and children whose extremities were teared off by land mimes.

Yes, it is. My two cents. The media should be free and people should decide what they want to see and have the freedom to decide. State censorship is a very dangerous thing.

If Nollywood improves their quality, for example, more people will watch their movies. If African producers learn to sell their artists successfully, more American and European kids will listen to African pop, hip hop and maybe even traditional music, some already do.

Europe is full of sushi restaurants, Buddhist monastries, Muslim fashion and most people - despite the rise of right wing parties - do not complain but embrace cultural diversity. It's called globalization. You can embrace or oppose it but I doubt that anyone can stop it.

eyinjuege:
Never have high expectations of anyone because you can always be disappointed. Yes, that includes your siblings and your children. You obviously don't have of your wife so I won't bother to mention her.

Ranchhoddas:
Daaaahhhh. Even if I did not know it, I'd simply google it. ''Driving the economy'' cannot be attributed to any single class anyway so the question is invalid. It is even rendered more invalid by the fact that ours is a third-world hellhole that apparently does not conform to basic laws of economics. The poor constitute the majority here so I am at a loss as to the relevance of your inquiry.

seizethaBae:
Madam witch of d light lol.d book "power of d subconciuos mind" does it talk abt wavelenght frequency bla bla too?

justiz5:
Was expecting you to mention this book ''Why you behave the way you do''

**Melancholy**

afroluxpaint:
when i was quite younger i felt same way, there were many girls i decline their sex overtures then . but as igrow older i feels indifferent about this sex aspect. i believe if she were a male shes would act same way

chronique:
Witch!!! You almost perfectly described me. Only thing wrong is that,I find it hard to have sex with people I'm not emotionally attached to.

toby2:
bros/sis, can u pls send me the pdf version of this book, I'll like to read it, or maybe the link, I won't mind. Thanks in advance

AlPeter:
I have known about the frequency/wavelength stuff since I was about 8 and have always referred to it has part of the personalty vibrations or the persons air. I have always enjoy studying peoples air and have found must to be simply put annoying or irritating. Though there is a recent cause that has been bordering me since 2 days ago. There's this lady in my area that I just couldn't place her vibrations so have hardly have a conversation with her, don't even greet her. 2 days ago I saw someone walking towards me and the person was BLANK. No vibrations, no personalty, no air, nothing! She got close and I realised it was this Lady and that was the reason I have not been able to place her frequency. She had zero, sorry but this has been disturbing me and its kinda scary. Have aany Idea what it means.

deathcomestoall:
I love your comment

afroluxpaint:
you must be too good at what you do missjo. this is me you talking about
at late 30s stil having problem in my choice of woman. im following your advice straight away though ive always had at the back of my mind, i dont need love to marry eventhough there are things i would never compromise.

AlPeter:
who are you? Like I am very serious. You just describe me to a t. This is truly amazing. But you must understand if the OP is like me LOVE would be a veeeerrrrry big ISSUE. Someone of the same freqquency is her best bet. Trust me if she marries a guy she doesn't love and she later comes across the one she does love, it can became a very big issue. I am not always choosy but once I found something I like I hardly let go.

Mindfulness:
I would if I believed that the creation story was true.

Ranchhoddas:
Yeah right!

DoctorAlien:
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, 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." Gen. 1:26.

One of the prime reasons why GOD created Adam and Eve adults was that the whole of creation would be under their care. They were to look after creation. Surely babies cannot be put in charge of a house, not to talk of the whole of creation.

oneolajire:
OP. Funny you.
Where did you get your creation story?

I don't think bible guys can help you cos you quoted neither the bible nor any link.

Stop the illusion.

MrPresident1:
i dey kwum wiz ma own xflanation

twosquare:
It is funny though, I meant your question, but I will try and answer your questions only. First, God didn't create ADAM and EVE in the form of a child. If we are to determine the age of Adam according to earthly measurements, He is between the age of 26-30 when he was made. Angels too were made not born like us, same with Adam, so that should tell you He was very close to being an angel, almost an angel. The lowest of God's creation that stood in Eden was a grown man who is meant to learn full obedience. Having the nature of a child is another thing. Remember Jesus said if you're not like that, you can't enter the kingdom of God--it talks of humility and meekness (Matthew 18:3). Now, how can I guess the age of Adam while he was made? Check the life of the last Adam-(Jesus). He attained the state (full stature) of Adamhood at age 30, that was when He began full ministry and was tempted by the devil. If He hasn't become Adam, satan won't even come. So, satan came to Him like he did the first Adam.

And in my spiritual experience, those who have encountered cherubs like the archangel Michael said his look, and that of Gabriel was like age 25 and 26, and it is most likely Adam was of that age when he was made too. They are young guys who excel in strength. It is the operation of death that makes us wax old. And who told you children are obedient to their parents...we all know the stubborn stunts we pull when dad and mum aren't looking. You should know that a child can't handle the earth, it will take a man to govern it. Reason Adam isn't a teenager per say. What transpired in Eden wasn't the battle of children but a type of man versus another type of man (the deceiver). God at the end of days had to reproduce another Man to defeat that 'old' man who fell the first man in Eden. But I'm a bit inclined to age 30. Thanks.

Ranchhoddas:
The default response when they have nothing to say.

Mindfulness:
SlaughterGang,

the reasons are many.

America has a long histor of slavery with slaves taken from West Africa.

People around the world watch the police shootings targeting young Blacks.

America's reputation (not only in Nigeria) is not clean. We can't deny that America's wars have often served their best interest.

America has been trying to impose their gay laws on African cultures, it's considered neo-colonialism, not an enforcement of human rights, which most Nigerians do not even enjoy in Nigeria.

Nigerians have been brainwashed into believing that other countries are controlling their misfortune so that their leaders can fill their pockets with the development aid coming from the USA or other countries.

And too many people, not only in Nigeria, love to think in black/white or good/evil categories.

These are all the reasons which I could come up with spontanesouly. If I can think of more, I will be back.

Lucasbalo:
The garbage you posted is not for me. How did I sold you out for mirrors and bicycles ?. Go and blame your worthless leaders over the years who looted and still looting the Commonwealth. I have never taken a dime of Nigeria's money. Maybe you are sleeping when you posted the tripe.

You hav approximately 9 seconds to get the mess out of a plane if a crash is evident.

How you want wear a parachute and open the doors is something i would want to hear.

You also need to understand that you are guaranteed 99.9 to die from asphyxiation or end up inside the planes engine if you jump out.

Where are you jumping to sef? in a thick forest or open sea. Imagine hundreds of people jumping at different points and how rescue work would be extremely hard dince they are scattered around

Ranchhoddas:
No mind them. As a result of their relatively comfortable lives, they have failed to realize that the struggling familes, the ones who are really suffering, who live on less than a dollar a day and are on the brink of starvation, and whose kids are about to get thrown out of their schools constitute the majority. Anyone who was living a posh(whatever that means) lifestyle before is not going to stop living it as a result of this recession. The worst hit are those at the lowest rungs of the socio-economic ladder.

TV01:
There is simply no pleasing some people is there?? . I answered you in a way that fully met the expectations you set out; bullying, insulting and down talking - and you still aren't happy .

You opened by making unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations against me and then claim I went on the defensive . You are? Like I said, you don't have the heft.

What makes you think you have the right to pose questions or demand answers of me. If you aren't a Christian what's it to you? If you are, you should know. Orishi rishi up in here presenting an ersatz spirituality. If you have nothing cogent to say, feel free to disappear up your own fundament .

I continue to deliver
