Moletemike: Tales by moonlight. Judging by 90% of comments on this thread the judges definitely made the RIGHT choice. How can anyone compare Regina with Bianca? Bianca is head and shoulders more beautiful than Regina. Upon that Bianca went on to win 3 more international pageants. No fluke. Her beauty is evident! Watch it online and even look at the pictures. It was rigged and the audience were angry at it. And her victory as Miss Intercontinental was very controversial as well. |
Politics › Re: Bianca Ojukwu As The Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria In 1988 (Throwback Photos) by Ndipe(m): 10:10pm On Dec 04, 2018 |
That Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 1988 pageant that Bianca won was rigged in her favor. Regina Askia was supposed to have won the contest. She was the audience favorite, the favorite of the journalists who covered the event and even the visiting delegate from Curacao, Joan Maynard, who was the reigning Miss Intercontinental at that time (she crowned Bianca three months later) had told journalists (prior to the contest) that Regina Askia stood head and shoulders over the rest of the contestants. The audience booed and protested at the verdict of the judges when she was crowned instead of Regina. When confronted by journalists, one of the judges, Linda Ikpeazu gave a silly excuse that Bianca was crowned because of her lighskinned complexion. Look at the pictures again, you will see Regina was way finer than Bianca. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Who Is The Son Of God And The Son Of Man To The Grail Message. by Ndipe(m): 9:03pm On Dec 04, 2018 |
pilgrim1: @m_nwankwo,
Okay, I hear. Just a line or two to point out, though:
(a) the author of the Grail Message's 'In the Light of Truth' does not only "alludes" to issues delineated in the Bible, he actually draws upon them from the bible to arrive at his own interpretation. My point? Simply this - Abd-Ru-Shin would have no reference whatever for those subject the way he teaches about them if he had not got his underlying terminologies from the Bible. Let me give you an example:
~ where do you think Abd-Ru-Shin got his idea of the Ten Commandments from?
~ where do you think Abd-Ru-Shin got his idea of the Lord's Prayer from?
[img]http://www.grailmessage.com/TTCL.GIF[/img] This is a copy of the book by Abd-Ru-Shin that I have perused - without doubt, he takes every single line of the Lord's prayers as found in the Bible and arrives at his own interpretation. It is going to be difficult for anyone who has read that book to claim that he was only "alluding" to the Lord's Prayer and not drawing from the Bible on that very subject. The same could be said about The Ten Commandments - Abd-Ru-Shin has no message to offer about that if we deny that he got his ideas precisely from the decalogue in the Bible to arrive at his own teaching on that subject.
(b) What about the book itself - In The Light of Truth? Are certain chapters which draw from the Biblical terminologies giving it his own interpretations be regarded as you asserted - "authority in itself"? Just think for a minute - what other books did the Bible authors borrow spiritual terminologies in their inspiration as Abd-Ru-Shin did in consulting the Bible and actually re-interpreting Biblical subjects? Let's look at a few of them: [list][list] [li]Volume 1[/li] [li]3. The Anti-Christ[/li] [li]14. The Star of Bethlehem[/li]
[li]Volume 2[/li] [li]16. Watch and pray![/li] [li]20. The Lord's Prayer[/li] [li]45. The crucifixion of the Son of God and the Lord's Supper[/li] [li]46. Come down from the Cross![/li] [li]47. This is My body! This is My blood![/li] [li]52. I am the Resurrection and the Life, no man cometh to the Father but by me![/li] [li]63. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit[/li] [li]66. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do![/li]
[li]Volume 3[/li] [li]36. Ask, and it shall be given unto you![/li] [li]38. Let there be Light![/li][/list][/list]
No, it is not a matter of mere "allusions" or even of "reference" - the point is that Abd-Ru-Shin would have no authority at all on those subjects found in his book 'In The Light of Truth' if he had not taken his ideas from the bible directly and only given them his own interpretations.
A few examples:
Where did Mr. Abd-Ru-Shin get the idea about Golgotha from in the chapter on The Book of Life (Vol. 1) when he stated: "Even as the Darkness moved over Golgotha when Jesus, the Living Light, departed from this earth, so is it now moving over mankind. . . " No, this is not about "allusion" or "reference"; rather, this is about the question of where Abd-Ru-Shin got his idea about Golgotha from?
Again, what prophecies did Abd-Ru-Shin mean when he says in The Star of Bethlehem: "At that time only a few recognised the Star as the fulfilment of the prophecies"? What prophecies - from where - which book? Can you please point us to another book other than the Bible to which Abd-Ru-Shin was directly drawing from in that chapter?
You see, my dear m_nwankwo, when people assume that Abd-Ru-Shin had nothing to do with the Bible and his works were totally an authority in themselves, I find that quite a untenable gist to digest. Why? Because there is no authority in the quote above if Abd-Ru-Shin was not referring to prophecies in the Bible! But we know he was - and that is why I already made the case that he drew heavily from the Bible and the claim otherwise is untenable.
Cheers. Good one, Pilgrim. |
