As for those saying no:

Whether Christianity is man's search for God or it's God reaching out to man,for effective relationship and communication to be established between God and man,you'll have to observe the following rituals and practices;

-Prayer and singing:For you to make your mind known to God and hear from him.You get connected to Him and He ministers unto you.

-Meditation:You have to study the bible deeply and regularly to understand the nature of God,his likes and dislikes,His promises,expectations and ultimate plan for you.

These two practices are religious in nature and christians observe them.

Jerryolumide: ok! Tnx 4 displaying the greatest stupidity known to mankind

Ode..

This is all you've got to say?

I have no such luxury of time to be trading words with a brainwashed airhead like you.

Jerryolumide: wait o. Wait o, with all this space occupying trash u just wrote, wat exactly is ur point?

Ode.

Maybe your brain is too dull to comprehend a post as simple and lucid as that.

For this kind of question,there are only two possible answers because it's not possible for black race to originate from the white one--only the whites could have evolved from we blacks;

1)Either Adam and eve weren't the first set of humans to inhabit the earth which means the biblical creation story is false or

2)Adam and Eve were created black..Mind you,this contradicts the conventional belief and claim in the christian society that Adam and Eve were Caucasians.

Choose one!

emmyskies: I pray GOD forgive you and don't hold this against you.

Since you don't agree with what I said, you can stick with your opinion then. We will live to tell the story somewhere beyond

Of course God is unquestionable..

Keep shut and make heaven or question him and roast in hell.

emmyskies: Sin is sin, whether man or woman, the wage of sin is death, the soul that sinneth shall die.

GOD is faithful, He won't let anyone face a temptation that He cannot be able to overcome if He is truely determined to live a Holy life -1st Cor. 10:13

Just as Job, we are called to be perfect. On the last day, there would be no excuse

Nonsense.

She's asking a reasonable and thought-provoking question.

Why did God give us those urges when we are to not act on them until marriage?

Isn't he omnipotent?..Why can't the urges start manifesting after marriage?..Can't he do it?

Then if he can,why is he giving us when we are suppsedly not ready?

Testing us?

So that we can "sin" and then land in hell?

My argument;if we are not supposed to act on those urges until marriage,why do we develop them in the very early stages of life?

In this context,who is really to blame?

God or man?

bbpreye: And how does this affected the price of GARRI on the market?

Who is your English teacher?

The topic should have been "the biggest and scariest creature to ever walk on earth"..

dagentility: Most older guys are more matured in reasoning. There is a lot to learn from their experience in life. My opinion shaa.

This is nothing but a mere erroneous preconception and it will always colour your judgement of maturity when relating with men in general.

Rid yourself of this preconceived notion.

Even if you meet a young matured man,I doubt you'll appreciate him.

They prefer them cos they tend to be more financially balanced and buoyant than the young ones.

They've hustled through the tough times of life and are now at the shores of career and financial stability.

They only hide under the banner of "maturity" to conceal the real reason.

Bottom line is,some guys are plain silly.

They'll be conducting themselves foolishly around girls just to get their attention.Dudes like that annoy me.

If a lady go like you,she will.

Stop being desperate around ladies at the detriment of your self-worth.

I've long since made the decision not to show ladies preferential treatment anymore.I treat them exactly how I treat my male friends.

If you need someone to lick your ass,expend his energy,resources and time on you--go get a boyfriend.

No sane man likes being an instrument of use and disuse.

The guy participated in the world cup qualifying matches but was shockingly dropped for the main event.

Only if he knows how painful that could have been to him.

He now went ahead calling up mediocre strikers like Amoebi and Nwofor while a real goal-banger like him was snubbed.

The dude's action is understandable jae.

aaronson: Most girls do what I call 'forming being nice' to a guy they really like especially if you handsome,I know what I face in class in the hands of those type of girls,for instance,one day we had class at a different lecture hall,on getting there everywhere was already filled up so this newly transferred girl to my dept just screamed out my name to come join her and she started asking me questions like I came for job interview lol, at the end of the day she told me I'm boring cus I didn't ask her back questions she was asking me in my mind I was like,your papa,I tell you say I luff you to show interest but while still with her I just smile...ladies don't force yourself on a guy if he isn't into you because to him you gonna be worthless and he might take advantage of your feelings to bed you like he love you remember we was born from a hole and always looking for a hole to enter and when we die we get buried in a hole!!!

So just because a lady acted nice to you once,she's now into you abi?..SMH..

And not even every girl that is nice to you is into you.

A girl can be naturally just nice.

You'll have to tread carefully and read between the lines to spot the difference between being just nice and showing green lights.

It's because of guys like you that ladies are always scared hitting on a guy they have feelings for.

Jennimma: I'm not trying to judge anyone. No.
I suppose we all are christains. God has said it in His word that we've to separate totally from the world. Those dancesteps glorify satan and not God.

Notwithstanding,some of these entertainers and musicians are ignorantly working,sponsoring and glorifying Satan..
Jesus requires us to be Holy in everything we do and that includes dancing. God's holiness is meant to affect and reflect in all areas of our lives because anything short of it will incur eternal damnation. You may call me churchy,i'm justsayingmymind.

What is this one saying?

Those dance steps emanated from man's God-given wisdom.

And never anywhere in the scriptures have I read that God Made prescriptions as to the way a christian should dance when worshipping Him.

The intent behind dancing in such ways is God's only and main concern.

And besides,we live in the world where some things are really subliminal and the issue of dancing is one of them.

All this religious fanaticism,I don't buy it at all

A prudent signing by Manchester United.

Hoping to see the best of him for Man. U this season.

A mere replication of his great performances at Madrid is enough to effect the needed changes the club is direly in need of.

chelseabmw: OP
Please leave the girl alone...... How will u feel when someone snatch this same girl from you?

Tallesty1: Their business. No guy in his right sense will do that. If she leaves me and go to him then she will definitely leave him for another guy. A real guy respects people's relationship.

That's just it.

There are more than enough beautiful,smart and well-mannered single girls in the world.

I don't fathom why he's hell-bent on winning over the heart of a girl already in a relationship.

@Op.

Why must you sabotage other's relationship just because of your own selfish desire?

How would you feel if you were the boyfriend of the girl in question?

That one nuthead is pestering your girl with romantic advances fully aware she's in a serious relationship with you?

It depends on the calibre of guys you roll with.There are tons of male intelligentsias around.It just takes like-mindedness and maturity to locate them.

They aren't always lousy and loud as the not-really-intelligent ones.

Smart guys tend to be calm,composed,matured and unassuming.They don't pride upon their intellectual prowess.

Maybe you should try out new guys,leave your circle/environment and strike friendship with new guys.

And sometimes in life,like attracts like.So I hope you're also intellectually sound.

Good luck in your search.

At school,twice and once in a while,thrice.

At home,I eat three square meals daily with snacks and fruits in-between them.

I like food..I don't joke with my stomach.

I don't have much negative exam experiences.

Why?..I'm always unfriendly and stern is the examination hall.

Even the best of my pals are always ignored.

Every nation is now detaching from we Africans in our trying moment.

All is well.

Nice move though.

Toyolad: hmmm,you've got to practise what you believe in with some dose of common sense.psychology fact:you easily remember things,think deeper and concentrate more when your eyes are closed.It's to make you concentrate more on your corporate worship.

Agreed,there are some ideologies we(many peepz)) subscribe to without knowing the cause but the reasons behind most them are not a mystery,only if we're willing to make researches.those who first promulgated them had their reasons(it's our obligation to search and know these reasons).

What you just gave here is still an assumption.

You're merely supposing ability to deeply concentrate is the reason we close our eyes during prayers.

Did you hear this directly from the forerunners of Christianity?

We can't negate the fact that their reason(s) could be different from our assumptions.

It still doesn't dispute the fact that we don't know the actual reason we were told to do so.

Toyolad: Hmmmmm,I think this is in relation to traditions and superstitions ALONE.reason being that,we only accept these traditional and cultural beliefs because we see people adhering to them and we think "it's fun and would be advantageous to me".

Religion on the other hand is based on one's personal belief,I mean encounter with our Godfactor..I tell you peepz,religion is not based on dogmatism or follow-the-crowd;it is a personal thing.we are only recognized with those who share the same belief with us

I beg to disagree.

This eye-opening analogy is not limited to the confines of traditions and superstitions alone..It extends across all human beliefs,religion inclusive.

There are some religious ideologies we subscribe to without knowing the cause and rationale behind them.

Take Christianity for instance,we are told to pray with our eyes closed.Everyone only makes assumption as to why we do that.No one knows the actual reason.

The proponents of Christianity only taught us to do so while we all adhere to it till today.

Lols..

It's like these guys aren't upholding the legacies Jesus left behind for them.

Not anywhere in the scriptures did Jesus shun sick people from coming near him.

And to think all these MOGs claim to have healing abilities.Jesus himself must be highly disappointed in them.

I fall under the first category but it doesn't perfectly depict my personality.

Maybe like 50% exactitude.

PrettyHausaGirl: Is 5'7 short?

You're tall for a woman.

I'm really not discriminatory with height.

Any height is okay by me so far she's not a midget or a giant.I think my preferred height range is 5"2 to 5"10.I classify anything below as too short and above as too tall.

Wow!

I just bumped into this thread while searching for something online and I must confess,it's really inspiring,motivational and expository.

I'm a freshman in the school and my course of study is a purely theoretical and hypothetical one.But I have the belief I can and will do it.

Making first class isn't a piece of cake but I'm ready to pursue it diligently and make all the necessary sacrifices needed to attain it.

It's really refreshing to know some eminent members of this forum are first class graduates.

No.

As long as His personality and Godly attributes remain same.

tranxo: though this might not be a good reason to call it quits, but he has a point. guys love feeling needed cos we are created to provide and protect. so when the lady is too independent, the guy doesn't feel he is living up to expectation.

Dude,speak for yourself..Not all guys do feel that way.

As long as we're not yet married,I don't have any reason to feel unmanly if my partner decides not to inconvenience me with her financial burden.

fijiano202: I believe this is more attributed to religion than reality cos in nigeria and the world itself culture and religion works hand in glove..Biblically the right hand is regarded as a sign of strength and honor and also sitting at the right hand side of someone means u are highly honoured..like the christains believes that Jesus sits at the right hand of God which makes him next to God,Although the bible never mentioned left handed people as lesser people but people still believe the right hand is more honored..left handed people are not much in the bible,the most popular left-handed person in the bible is Ehud Judges chapter 3 and also Judges 20:16...the bible refers to left hand as an advantage cos people with left hand are mostly warriors....the left means plenty things in diff language - in latin left means sinister which means evil ,in french left is gauche which means awkward...in Local /traditional belief Right hand is called hand of peace

Well,I don't know of other traditions but in Yorubaland the left hand is the one regarded as the hand of peace.
