My relationship with my Pastor is strictly on spiritual principles that have Biblical backings, and jumping into the lagoon just for the sake of jumping in may not suffice

@Zikkyy, apologies for the late reply but i need to answer your last comment on my comment, i have decided that i dont have to wait till spiritual things are crystal clear to me before i engage in them, i choose to follow what my Pastor says long before i understand it, for i would rather follow it and it turns out to be a lie than not follow it and it turns out to be true

emmaeno ~ my dear there are free online downloadable tutorials, but you'll have to pick a language first ~ a free downloadable tutorial, a programming language and a computer and you are ready to subdue

Mobinga:
Nice. I think this is faster though tedious

System.out.println("0/n7/n14, " 

Since it doesn't loop at all. It just prints the string.


We should be doing code-benchmarks more often

Ladies and gentlemen i believe we have ourselves a winner

Anyway for now i think i'll just stand by the side, watch the winning code and rewrite it in Python

@Enigma ~ i must say i apologize ~ my points were about giving to the Church and not specifically the 10% tithing ~ if i say so myself i have not really come to an understanding about the issue but am working on it

Dare2think please allow me to add,


The Gospel has been entrusted to human beings to preach. It is not going to be preached by Angels, it is not going to be preached by ArcAngel Michael nor any other heavenly body. We, you and me, are the ones who are supposed to. I assure you that even if Paul was to be alive today or even any of the disciples that they would themselves also use the media that we use these days to preach the Gospel, which include radio, satelite t.v. and so forth, and these cost money my dear, and as a Body of Christ we are better off if we pool our resources together and do it united than every one of us starting their own t.v stations for example ~ that is the force of Wisdom my dear

dare2think:
Miss,

How does it make sense to give to an entity that already owns all things. I thought all he wanted was your redemption and salvation. He has no need for "Gift", what will he do with it?

Fraudulent folks are the ones who demand "gifts" on his behalf.

Why don't you give those "gifts" to the unprivileged. Am sure they need it more than God.

What do you think?

@ dare2think,

that concern you have raised is the same concern Judas raised to Jesus when His feet were being washed by expensive perfume ~ therefore it is the same spirit that Judas had ~ the truth is yes we can give to the underpriviledged but that does not mean that we stop giving to God. How do we give to God? by giving to God's work, and what is God's work? God's work is the Gospel. The best gift you can ever give to someone is a word of comfort and God is the best Comforter there is. Allow me to get proverbial and equate giving the under priviledged money to giving them fish and preaching The Gospel and God's Word to them to teaching them how to fish

The opportunity to give to God is in itself a gift!! even before going to Heaven the gifts we have abundantly received from God our Father are indescribable!!

@all4naija good point, you see i am not a computer science student, but i am a mathematics student, i believe thats one of the main reason i got attracted to algorithms

Hi Guys,  My friends and I have our own algorithm competitions arena

REP S NIG:
But since you could not perceive the occultic demonic power in those images then maybe it is not meant for you. Read this urgently as I MAY also remove this post.

there is a possibility that i could not perceive any occultic power simply because there is no occultic power to be perceived. and not because its not ment for me

to dominate what please? people? circumstances? nations?

Still nothing, What is the power for? for example there is power to heal sicknesses, power to cast out demons etcetera, what is that power for?

Please forgive me but i dont see any power there, if you dont mind elaborating please

@REP what is that power for?

Thanks to enlightenment from Pastor Chis Oyakhilome my favourite name of God is Jesus

Consider a case of a man who has been stealing ever since he was young. Even if he gets caught and gets punished, immediately after his release he justs proceeds with that his theft. now would it make sense if such a man were to boycott and defend himself saying that God made him a thief? that he cannot help but steal?  that would not make sense because God has commanded us in the Bible saying "Thou shall not steal". God cannot command us not to steal and go ahead and make someone a thief, that does not make sense. Likewise God does not make people homosexuals, why, because it is written that homosexuality is as sin
Leviticus 18:22
“‘Do not have intimate relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

@IYA NGBALI seek God while He may still be found, know Him and His ways, Love Him with all your heart mind and soul and you shall live

I myself was raised a Seventh Day Adventist. it however reached a point in my life when whenever someone asked me my denomination i told them i just wanted to be known to be a Christian. Am not interested in any other name than Christian, thats the only name i want

Someone help me understand. Why in the name of God-given Life would anyone want to be a satanist? What does satan have to offer you that you have not already received abundantly from God Our Father? satan cannot be anything unless God makes him anything therefore God is the ultimate One and the only one worthy of all worship.

There seems to be a mindset among both The World and The Church that Chriatians should be poor. Others even go ahead to equate poverty with humility and true relationship with God. However this could not be further from the truth. God creates the world and all its treaures therein for His Children's enjoyment. Life is A great gift from God and not a burden of punishment. The Old Testament is full of wealthy people with whom God was pleased, I suggest we follow suite

Love is God, He is the epitome of what, how, where and when Love should be.

@pleep, funy
@bayosgirl , true, African Culture is a beauty
@9ja, imagine being penalized for your culture, i think thats where we are headed

The Bible is the revelation to humanity of who God, Our Father, is. So the next time people be crying that God is a mystry or He has abandoned us just give them The Bible to go sit in a corner and read!

There are those before us who knew God and wrote about Him e.g. King David. The words in the Bible were written by man under God's inspiration. God inspired them to write

9ja you have a point. I may not have intended it that way but come to think of it that is how it sounds. Am so embarassed, good thing my face aint on my profile so i cant be known Lol. But good point though. But be it as it may should we just leave it unpatented in the name of true love?

Very Good point Webizone. Nairaland should probably have 'Like' button for posts

Also am in agreement with Cuddlemii about men and hot babes. Dearest Men, maybe you didn't notice but that good figure and that beautiful face and those wonderful legs are not within a woman's sphere of control to attain. It is therefore pathetic to think so highly of someone over something they are not responsible for. If we could give ourselves those angelic smiles and bottle shape figures then we would all be stunningly gorgeous. So just leave us in peace abeg. Money, on the other hand, is something we can control. You can decide to take on more jobs resulting to you having more money. Therefore judging a man by his wallet does infact make sense because that is something within your control as opposed to physique

There is more to a man than just his wallet, likewise there is more to a woman than just her body. We should all as individuals strive to develop the untangible aspects of who we are to increase our capacity to make our better halves happy and experience fulfilling relations. If as a man the only thing you know about your woman is her body then you are yet to experience who a woman is and can be in your life, likewise for a woman, if your man's wallet is the only thing that determines your relationship then baby girl you are living a lie.

A most unfortunate thing happened to Kenya. Famous international designer Louis Vutton pattented the famous Maasai's traditional wear, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. This should serve as a wakeup call to Africa. If there is absolutely any cultural thing that can be pattented i suggested we hurry because one there is money in culture and two there are people outside Africa prying for rights to our heritage.

In Kenya there have been cases of buildings some newly complete and some stil under construction collapsing and in the process killing people. Constructors doing shody work using cheap materials in a bid to finish quickly and start reaping the ca$h. Its a sad state of affair that busines and money has made these building people inhumane. Please if you enter this industry just build for us good quality buildings we wil not refuse to pay you
