This board is getting more irritating with self righteous members,what are these children of God doing reading about romance and sexuality?

@topic,

Its very important to know if your sexually compatable with your future life long spouse,as a man I have had different experiences,some fantastic and others I don't want to remember.
I have met women who do it for me i.e I want to do it over and over again but a few women I have come across,the experience was so bad that I'll had to get counselling to get over the experience.

What we look like when fully clothed is different when we get our kit off,you can see this hot Honey/Babe and when she takes of her clothes,you'll see cellulite and droopy boobs, disgusting.

I wonder how a newly married woman would feel when she sees that her husband got a 1 inch abuna!

I would like to introduce you to a birthday mate but she is only ONE YEAR OLD!!! sorry

Theifofhearts,

You are already getting to know the place,thats good.I say you get to make friends and enemies in equal measure.

If you want to delete a thread,I'll suggest you report to administrator aka General Seun,he take care of your problem,  remember to be nice when you write him.

Cheers

ThiefofHearts,

Welcome to Nairaland and have fun,so you like speaking your mind no matter what! be prepared to get your a$$ banned  . I love controversial people

BTW,

Strange name for a fine woman.

Ndipe,

I've read the link you posted,it makes a good case why Allah and Jehovah are not the same.Please apply the same logic to the myriad of names the Christian God has in African languages.

In translated African language bibles,Jehovah or Yahweh are substituted with an African equivalent,the question is did the translators of these African bibles use a local substitute for convenience sake or is Tamuno,Chukwu,Chineke the same as  Yahweh.

There is no need trying to rubbish Sista or calling her names,you have the right to hold your views as everyone else.

Drusilla My Dear,

When people are down and out,they look for answers in most unusual places.What better way to deal with your problem than believe that you have would get seven virgins,no pains and Jah would make everyone be high,if you pray very hard and fast twice a day!and would recieve ethernal peace from an unseen benevolent creator

The progress of the western world is devoid of Divine Intervention,the United States wealth is built on exploitation of the weak and powerless.From the Native Americans who were almost wiped out to African Slaves.The modern day America has profited from the manipulation of other countries and stealing of their resources.

Japanese and Chinese development is not based on the worship of either Blue eye Jesus or a Black Jesus born in a cave,neither is their progress based of fasting and shouting 1000 praise thy lord or a million alakubas.It is in fact based on Science and Technolgy,the use of both human and material resources for the benefit of the society.

Its not suprising to see that the most religious people are the least educated,poorest and powerless.

BTW,
The only thing I missed from my absence from Nairaland is YOU,the one and only DRUSILLA.

Nigeria and stupid laws,what are the so called women leaders in the House and Senate doing about this anyway?

I think its not really a problem,any man can stand and sign as the Almighty Husband

To All,

Its very important to understand the functions of institutions of the state and that we are all subject to the rule of law.I've lived in Ireland for a few years now and this is how Churches are rated in Ireland.

1.Registered Charities.When a church is registered as a charity,it doesn't pay tax but must submit its Audited Accounts to Revenue Commision every year,if the government finds any strange deals going on,they would loose their Tax exempt status and someone would be going to jail.

2.Register as a Business,This the category where the Made In Nigeria Churches fall into,they still have submit Accounts and the end of the year to Revenue Commision every year.they get Tax relief for their trouble.

I will leave the answer to the Preachers in the house

Nferyn,

My apologies for using the word Controlled,what I mean is Europe has in most sense of the word abandoned the idea of a benevolent God solving the problems of society.Technology has given humans the ability to control the world they live in according to their desires,you can predict natural disasters and prepare for it.

Does religion stifle dabate and free speech?Look no futher,holier-than thou-members here are a stack reminder

IBEXY,

I noticed the same thing when I first moved to the UK a few years ago,when I inquired the reason for this phenomenon I got similar reasons given by members on this forum.
After a few years of living in the European system and a staunchly Catholic country Ireland,I have come to a simple conclusion.This Is The Age Of Reason.

You see that the western would is controlled by Reason and Technology.You don't need to fast for 7 days to get a loan from your bank or pray for good grades in college and definitely no need to pray for success in farming,business.

If you watch Sky TV you would notice that the channels you see black people is the religious channels,you would see loads of black people sitting down and their pastor telling how successful they would be if the pray hard,fast and pay their tithes.

Drusilla,

Drusilla:
African Americans attend church more.
African Americans believe in the bible more i.e. the Creation story.
African Americans are less likely to support abortion or gays.
African Americans give more to help churches and poor people.

"Religion is Opium of the People" Karl Marx.

This is true of Poor People,what better way to deal with their miserable condition than to believe that there is life after death and all the bad white people would burn in hell

Ibexy,

Welcome to nairaland,just have fun.
my regards to Blair and Lizzy.

Hi Mizieya,

Welcome to Nairaland,be prepared for hard knocks from the righteous people of the blog when they get to know you are a Paganist!You can be an Atheist but not a paganist
Be ready to defend your believes,I'm looking forward reading your posts,its high time we get other views apart from the the usual,Christian,Muslim,atheist views.

The blog is fun most of the time be ready when it gets rough,enjoy yourself,make friends and have a great laugh

Ugwumba,

Ugwumba:
The two Hebrew words used here are: 'taphas' - to lay hold & 'shakab' - to lie down with, which have been erroneously translated to 'rape' in some English translations of the OT.

Its interesting to hear that a passage has been mis-translated to give the wrong meaning to the writers original intention,what else has been mis-translated or misinterpreted?
I would be happy if you could be kind enough to give more examples of these errors.

Cheers

All,

Afeni was right when he said"No Unity Based On Race"I have met many people from the East Africa,especially Ethiopians and Somalians and the fact is they don't consider themselves to be black and Africans,they are unfortunate to be on the African continent.For people who have friends from these two countries my guess is they are only tolerating you,yes you can be at their parties and clubs but when you are not looking their disgust shows.

A "friend" use to call me everytime there was a bad news a Nigeria on tv just to remind me that am Nigerian,I returned the favour whenever Ethiopia is on tv with images of starving,war torn,aids infected people,no need to say we are friends no more.
I also called him to tell how our very own Obasanjo was working hard to get complete debt relieve from western countries,which his country benefited from

@Brownsuga,

I was surprised when you declared you dated a Nigerian,its a bit unusual to see an/a Ethiopian/Eritrean dating a Nigerian,I bet its wrong to paint everyone with the same brush

Havila and Davidylan,

If these laws in the Old Testament are meant for the Jewish Nation as you guys have stated,why then do Christians insist on Paying Tithes or do you choose what part of the Bible to accept?

No hating please,just asking a question.

Cheers

BobbieMae:
Mr Mayor, you seem to know too much, Abi na you?
I don put my Inspector Gadget sunglasses, so you berraa watchout!

I live Ireland and the lady in question is in Lagos,if I was her "Nairaland friend" then I must have done her a favour telling her story to the world.On this forum a member Davidlann has posted a supposed private chat on msn which a made a big issue about people who log on to yahoo or msn asking ASL and everyone had a good laugh.

Other members have also posted their private chat here and no one cried foul.

Chxta:
Make I yarn?

Seun go ban you bifor you fit say alacrity!

Memunah:
i can't that will be down grading yourself,getting married to a non graduate?no i can't

Can you work for a non-graduate like Bill Gates or Richard Branson?Would it be too down grading?

Can you provide any archaeological evidence to support that Chukwu,Chineke and Obasi are the same as the Jewish Jehovah or Christian Jehovah?

Havila,

Faith requires believe or acceptance of an event outside a known fact,your believe that Olorun and Jehovah is not supported by either archaeological or written evidence,you just choose to accept it as such.
White men came to Africa and sold them the idea of a Supreme who created the world as we know and the Africans said we have a name for this God,whom they reverence so much that they do not say his name,hence the myriad of African names for the Christian God.

How can the Jews and Christians be serving the same Jehovah if the Jews don't believe that Jehovah has a son called Jesus?

Question:

What is the derivation of the word "Allah"? Some scholars say it derives from al+ illah ("the God", but many Muslim Ulema and translators of the Qur'an (such as Maulana Muhammad Ali) disagree with this, and say that "Allah" is whole in itself, as a proper name for the Supreme Creator. But is there any philological relationship between Allah and other Semitic terms for "God" such as Eloah (Hebrew) and Alaha (Aramaic/Syriac)?

Thank you.

Peace and blessings of Allah be with you.



Answer:

Although a lot has been said about the philology of the word 'Allah', however, in my opinion, the former of the two opinions noted by you seems to be closer to the correct one. A detailed discussion compiling the opinions of various scholars of the Arabic language regarding the origin of the word can be seen in "Lisaan al-Arab" under the word "Aaliha" (a-l-h). In my opinion, 'Allah' is an Arabic word meaning 'the God'. According to the general principle of making proper nouns from common nouns in the Arabic language, the word "ilah" (common noun) has been converted to "al-ilah", which became "Allah" due to the turgidity and the slight difficulty of pronouncing the word "al-ilah".

The Qur'an, because its prime and first addressees were the Arabs, used the word "Allah" for the Supreme Being, as that had traditionally been the word used for the Supreme Being in that language. The same had been the case in the older scriptures. Those scriptures, like the Qur'an, used the particular words for the Supreme Being, which were already in vogue in those languages, to refer to the Supreme Being.

However, there have been scholars of the Arabic language who ascribe to the opinion that "Allah" is the actual name of the Supreme Being. It is indeed important to analyze the evidence that they have provided to support their opinion. Nevertheless, I feel that to give God a name is a requirement of us, humans. God, being the absolute being is in no need for a name.

Please note that the writer states that the word Allah is the word used in describing a Monolithic Supreme God,my question is this
Whats the difference between the Arabs and Africans describing the Supreme God in their own languages?maybe they are speaking in tongues

Allāh is the Arabic language word referring to "God", "the Lord" and, literally according to the Qur'an, to the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" in the Abrahamic religions. It does not mean "a god", but rather "the Only God", the Supreme Creator of the universe, and it is the main term for the deity in Islam.

Most Arabic-speaking Muslims, Christians and Jews (including the Yemenite Jews, several Mizraḥi communities and some Sephardim) use "Allāh" as the proper noun for "God". Allāh is found in the Qur'an and in Arabic translations of both the Tanakh and the Gospels and even in the Indonesian translations of the Bible.

Outside the Arab world, the use of "Allāh" is associated with Islam, and is used to refer specifically to the Islamic concept of God. It is the same as the Jewish conception of a single God[1][2], but differs from the Trinitarian Christian conception of God.

Islamic scholars often translate "Allāh" directly into English as "God", especially Qur'an Alone Muslims. Other scholars feel that "Allāh" should not be translated arguing that "Allāh" is the term for "the Only God" in a glorified pronunciation. This is a significant issue when translating the Qur'an

I'm no Crusader or Jihadist,you guys can fight yourselves for all  I care

Africans, talking rubbish as usual,my logic is this,

1.5000 years ago,Abraham became the patriarch of the Jewish nation and he served a God called Jehovah/Yahweh.

2.2000 years ago,followers of Jesus started a new religion based on claim that their leader Jesus is the Son of the God Jehovah.

3.The Jews being the original worshipers of Jehovah,say that he has no SON and the maintain that believe to this day

4.Are the Jews or Christains worshipping the same God?Is it the same Jehovah or Jehovah 2.0

5.1500 years ago Muhammad starts a new religion with a God called Allah,he says Allah sent,Ibrahim(Abraham),Daudo(David),Moses(Musa),Jesus(Issa,Isa) to the world before Himself as the final prophet.he says Allah(Jehovah) has no son.

6.Jews and Muslims agree that God aka Jehovah,Yahweh,Allah has no son.which means GOD 1.0,Christains have an improved Jehovah who has a son.GOD 2.0

7.Fast forward 2006,Africans give this new Christan God many local names e.g Chukwu,Chineke,Tamuno,Obasi,Ogene etc,is this the same God ?

Read it in S.L.O.W   M.O.T.I.O.N maybe you would understand it better. Bush is a SHI*T brain,he mistook three Brazilli[b]ans [/b] for Brall[b]ion[/b] ions as in Billions.
