He is just being honest

Ndata: Immediately i saw the caption,i knew what part of Nigeria the culprit will hail from.And reading through and seeing the name my thoughts were confirmed.Disgusting incest!

Must you bring tribalism into every issue? Geeez!

[quote author=Joe.]funny thread you said ? morality now a funny issue. I'm sure you dont even know what is causing your laughter. well, surpose you just have got noting in you head to say hence laughing at your empty skull ...............muhemuhemuhe in turkish[/quote]Hehehe... Just a lil push and your pack of morality cards falls down flat
Its bad manners to call a fellow human empty headed. Didn't your momma teach you that?

I didnt take your thread seriously cos its ridiculous. Morality cannot be separated from our everyday lifestyle. So you can easily post your 'morality' threads in RELIGION, FAMILY, CULTURE, EDUCATION or any fitting section.

I can see you wanna be a mod.

*edited*
@shollypopz thanks.

Xynerise you be correct guy. Skydeep congrats.

xynerise: I was talking about her interview with skydeep

The story in ijebabe's gossip thread, abi?

This post has been hidden.

xynerise: . When did she tell you all that? That story is fake jor . That picture might be fake too . Women! .

hmmm... Unless you guys are not in Naija, the pic is fake. But then, why did you say the story IS fake, but the pic MIGHT BE fake?

Strange use of words.

A fool would always justify his folly. Some people do not deserve having children. Let the eediot rot in jail.

Who come be the scholar wey you dey find? We are all learning. Shows meekness though.
From the quoted verse, it is clear... "Do not say the same words over and over again".

Jesus was talking about meaningless repetition in a particular prayer. Note that it is not the same as praying about the same thing at another time.
An example is saying 'die by fire' several times in a repetitive manner in the same prayer. It might sound right to many 'prayer warriors', but it actually falls into this category of prayers Jesus condemned.

Prayer ought to be meaningful communication with God, as we would a father, and not some sort of incantation.
The fact that professed Men of God do it does not make it right. The Bible is the authority not pastors.

My two cents.

Lmao. *walks away*

(5mins later) *returns*
Wait o... Is it right or wrong to simply laugh at a funny thread and walk away?

Ramtzy: Not only the Muslim... Yoruba culture disagree with him also.."Ayanma latorun wa"

Even professed christians. Have you have not heard pastors and other 'christian' church leaders tell bereaved people that "God gives and God takes", or that "it is the will of God"?

Lmao. I hope they try the cat in court and sentence her (yes she is female. Don't ask how)

Hi incurable romantics. I am new here

Eze Promoe: [color=olive]Ijebabe, I hereby crave your indulgence to break the gist.

Oahray and ID were doing their dirty things before during the miss NL, Ray started crushing on Florena. Suddenly Florena was missing in action for some days. Oahray has been just an e-single ready to e-mingle, while his ID was now an e-****** . A certain guy came from nowhere bearing the moniker 'Glorified_Tunde' and started flirting with ID.

This circle is the most weird on NL. Can someone give me more gist on what's going on between these people, or is it a mind game?[/color]

hehehehehe... *falls from pinocchio's nose*
You try, the gist sweet small. Just the Florena part. Its actually 'love' and not simply crush. *dreamy sigh*

I don suscribe for gist2. Make sure it includes your crush on Ogugua sha. If it gets aired, she would finally notice you. Your time starts now
*waiting*

ijebabe: Answer jor!

I didnt see any question ma'am

Eze Promoe: [color=olive]Ijebabe, go and renew your gossips, these current ones are getting outdated and the thread is dying. Tell us what is happening between these people[/color]

huh?

Image123: and where did i say or imply that others or myself do not need the fruits of the spirit? If she displayed those fruits, we won't be having this thread from her . i gave out my food today if that counts for selflessness, so what of you mr.judge? Go and read 1John3:16 and cure your brazen ignorance.

why harp on her needing it when you know we all need it? Why call me a judge when you just judged the op with the bolded statement?

So the op asking a question about something she doesnt understand means she lacks the fruit of the spirit?
Mehn... I am done talking to you and your likes.
The hypocrisy in some christians is sickening. Smh.

Lmao. Where dem na?

Gentle Naaz: Yes, female r mor generous dan dia male counterpart. View it 4m ds perspectv, men has mor needs 2 atnd dan women. A man takes gud care of his girl(s) fnancially n oda wise, he spends mor on his carreer,family n all social activities in hs relationshp, wants 2 buy car, build houses; thereby hvn less dan 20% of his income allocatd 2 his parents n siblings
women hv dia financial needs 85% if nt 99% solvd by ds great men of our society, dy spnd less, get mor n dont spnd on any oda pesn dan dia parents n siblings
secondly, women r mor emotional in family n society dan men

Generosity isnt dependent on how much you have bro. Its a measure of your willingness to give.
Look at it this way:
A man has to provide for himself, then the needs of his wife (who in most cases may be working but expects the husband to pay for everything anyway), his children. At times he is looked up to by his younger ones and at times, his wives relatives.
However, in the midst of this daily pressure, many men remember to care for their surviving parent(s) sometimes even building them houses.
If that isnt generosity, what is? That of the woman who does not have nearly as many responsibilities? Generousity isnt entirely dependent on gender and it is not restricted to providing for parents either.

Image123: its not limited to just Nigeria. i think JeSoul mentioned how a white man talked against it while she was in France or so. Anyway even if it's a Nigerian or African thing, nothing spoil. Each people have their etiquette and culture, Paul talked of being all things to all men. I strongly say it was cases like this that he alluded to. I'm not talking of compromise to sin, its not an issue of sin but of what's right or appropriate. The Yoruba have their traditional way of greeting elders and rulers. The same goes for other tribes. They have cultures and traditions in marriage, wedding, burial etc that are harmless and not ungodly.

something reasonable and truthful at last. Its simply the tradition of that church.
The op asked if it was wrong. This is not a bad answer, although it doesnt explain why crossing legs is wrong. Its way better than self-righteously condemning her as rebellious or lacking the fruits of the spirit, as you guys have been doing.

Image123: you ought to lay down your life for your brethren, that's Scripture. So it is scriptural to displease yourself to please your church members, who are indeed your brethren. also, like I stated, the op needs love, meekness and temperance, all basic fruits of been born of the Spirit.

"the op needs..." and you don't? Another self righteous pretender. When was the last time you were selfless for others? You don't have to answer, you'd likely lie anyway.

The bible never said YOU HAVE TO lay your life for others. It simply says you should love others enough to lay your life for them. Its not the same thing.

Stop trying to paint a human tradition as something from God. Just say that is what the pastor or religious leader wants, and because he is a demi-god, he should be obeyed without any objection.
That is closer to the truth than these piles of unscriptural trash you guys are disguising as support.

[quote author=tpia@]When in rome, do as the romans, which is what obama did here?[/quote]If you read the post I posted that pic as a reply to, you wouldnt have posted this.
I simply corrected his statement about "every human being with good upbringing". Is Obama not a human being?
If I got you right, I'd wish to correct you. Obama didnt 'do as the Romans'. He is the Caesar of that 'Rome'! Looks like you dnt know what it means to be the American President. Any wrong action doesnt excape public scrutiny and criticism.

Literacy shouldnt be restricted to the ability to read only.
Smh4u

ignis: Bro, we all know that the western culture is bastardized and highly indecent.
imagine this scenario, when you go to most official and social gathering in America, most of the ladies dress almost nude exposing their private parts. Thr religious gathering is not even an exception. The fact remains that what might be decent in their culture might not be decent in ours. Am not saying that we should incoporate culture into religion. The fact is we all have concience and know when we are doing what is right and what is wrong. Though often times, we tend to justify our wrong actions either by comparison or excuses. These does not make the wrong action right in anyway.
Heavenly race is a personal race and not a collective race, so let's not compare our actions with that of others.

crap! I knew you would come up with some silly explanation. In your prevoius post, you said

And I believe that every human being with a good upbringing knows that crossing of leg in the public is highly undecent and unethical.

that was why I put up the pic. Instead of you to admit, you are twisting words. At least you just agreed that ethics is subjective.

Tell me, if comparison is wrong, why did you start it in the first place with the unguarded fallacy about ethics and common sense, by saying decent peeps do not cross their legs?
Over righteousness, that's the problem with many people, and blind fanaticism too.

You must think africans are more decent than the white counterparts, don't you? I wonder how u'd explain the near nud.ity or females in the Calabar carnival, or the traditional zulu dressing for women in their festivals, or the many other African examples I wouldnt mind listing if you so wish.

When you do not know something, keep quiet about it. Crossing legs is not unethical or indecent. Stop trying to set standards for God!

ignis: Sure, its scriptural, the scripure says in the book of 1 Corinthians 14:40 and I quote
'Let all things be done decently and in order'
Common sense will tell us what is descent and orderly.
And I believe that every human being with a good upbringing knows that crossing of leg in the public is highly undecent and unethical.
I stand to be corrected.

A picture is better than a thousand words

(1) These are human beings.
(2) One of these 'indecent' people doing something as 'unethical' as crossing legs is the President of America.
(3) This pic wasnt taken in private. Infact this encounter was televised.
Is that correction enough?

Reference: Every place and peoples I know have one rule or the other that describe their culture including all those who post on this thread including the poster herself. Some require you to remove your shoes before stepping into their living room, some have furniture in their living room but if you want their audience you may have to sit on the mat with them. All sorts. When I was growing up and stayed at my Uncle's one summer, touching of the walls was a taboo, making loud noises, etc, etc. Every one has rules including churches. Now for me to question the rules in every bank, gas station, airline, restaurant and church I go will simply be madness. I may chase every reason but I have better things to do with my time. And that's why the bible gives us several passages that paints the picture like this:

Go to places you are comfortable with as led by your conscience. If you can bear it stay, if you can't leave but by any means as long as what you don't find uncomfortable with is not a sin (according to your conscience) do not oppose it for you will offend others which is not right in the sight of God. Period.

First of all, you do not seem to realize that questioning something isnt the same as disregarding it altogether. It simply means wanting to understand why something should be done that way.

If you truly read what the op wrote, you'd have seen that crossing her legs is something reflex and she obeys when the usher asks her to change her posture. Still, she wants to know why. That is what a reasonable person does. How does that relate to the bank, restaurant, or shoes in people's home examples you cited? Infact, understanding a rule makes it easier to obey.

The fact that you obey does not mean you shouldnt seek understanding. That is why we are intelligent creatures. That's what differentiates us from animals, our ability to reason.

Bon garçon

binger: hahaha,gbaguan...Tu és maladé

Lol... Just say you do not truly understand french jor. Yours is the gbagaun.

Mightyodi: young lady what is wrong is that the bible say honor your father and mother so that your days will be long. If your mom say keep ur leg straight, then do like wise. Remember wat an elder sees sit the young one cant see it climbing a tree. Obey is better than curiousity. Gbam.

Our people say that he who asks questions would never lose his way.
Curiosity is better than blind obedience any day. You guys should stop discouraging sincere questions. Its not christlike. Jesus did not condemn anyone for asking questions.

CFCfan: Oops. I meant to doff my hat to Seun.

hehehe... Cool dude.
