PoliticsRe: Nigerians Were Not Attacked In By Rebels In Libya - Minister by PA1982(f): 8:50am On Sep 04, 2011
Basics007:
['m so mad at the minister right now. With so much glaring evidence the silly man can still go ahead and spew this rubbish. No wonder he allowed a fool on this thread to make fun of the Yoruba race. And GEJ rushed to endorse the Libyan rebels without even examining the situation at hand. Even South Africa whose citizens are not being killed this way is not rushing to recognise the NTC.

@ poster.
What did you watch on CNN? Did you see Nigerian being attacked or killed?
Those you watch on CNN where they not released?
Do you have any evidence of  a Nigerian being attacked again?
Show it, so that minister can be sacked, otherwise just keep quiet.
Hope you've seen all the evidence you want now Mr Evidence?
Richintak was quite right to question the evidence presenting in the beginning of the thread- it was clear the atrocities were committed by the pro gov't forces.
The situation of the immigrants caught in that camp is quite another story.
I have to ask what foreigner stays in a country in civil war, especially when their own gov't offers to fly them back home.

But having asked that, I feel a full investigation has to be done about this situation.
And justice to these victims served.

* There will still be another Bomb Blast in Lagos. This Bomb Blast will create fear in Nigerians

* The Lord also said, because of the High level of Corruptions in Nigeria, He will strike Nigeria with another Violent Bloody Clash. The Earth shall drink Blood, the air shall blackened and the rivers shall change it colour so that ye shall know I am the Lord your God. I changeth not!

* The Lord said, before this Year runs out, Nigeria shall sign BIG International Contract that will profit HER if SHE change HER sinful ways

* A top Nigerian Figure will DIE from now to December 30th. Tributes will be made and that day will be a Sorrowful Day for most Nigerians

* In the Future, a Popular Nigerian Celebrity will be EXPOSED of being a man-lover

* Thus says the Lord God of Host, More Natural Disasters shall strike NIGERIA if SHE refuse to change HER sinful ways

how exactly does it cure malaria? sucked in through the pores? better look for other promotion angle for your soap and stop deceiving people.
I agree. There are plenty of reasons to use soap, but claiming a particular soap cures malaria is just a fraud.

For guaranteed laughs, I reccommend the site.

bright007:
*one question dat has appeared more dan any other one on dis thread is “where did dinosaurs come from”.But I think d question should be“where did human come from”.Once dis question is answered,ťĥĕ dinosaur question will not be difficult.
Well, you can always start a thread about the origins of humans, can't you, bright007.
This one's about dinosaurs.
Still, on the subject of the origins of humans, again, back to wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human

Anatomically modern humans evolved from archaic Homo sapiens in Africa in the Middle Paleolithic, about 200,000 years ago. By the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period (50,000 BP [Before Present]), full behavioral modernity, including language, music and other cultural universals had developed.
There is, however an alternative view on this wink

Christianity EtcRe: Did God Create Dinosaurs? by PA1982(f): 8:54pm On Sep 03, 2011
OLAADEGBU, have you forgotten your own posts?

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs, Dr. David Norman, 1985, p. 186.

"The question of the origin of dinosaurs is one that has puzzled paleontologists for many years."

Dr Norman is a lecturer in Zoology

This is a quote from an authoritative book:

"Where did dinosaurs come from?  That apparently simple question has been the subject of intense debate amongst scientists for over 150 years, . . ."

The Natural History Museum Book of Dinosaurs, 1998, p.12
These are your out of date sources.
Please, educate yourself.
I've posted up an excellent source for you to peruse and learn from.
Why not take advantage of it?

The evolution of dinosaurs occupies a good part of the article I linked to.

I notice my point wasn't addressed, either.
Christianity EtcRe: Live To Give - Pastor Anita by PA1982(f): 7:35am On Sep 03, 2011
Repeated twice in two different Gospels is not an emphasis?
Saying a rich should give to the poor before following him is not an emphasis?

Jesus says NOTHING about tithing. Or gives his approval of such a practise.
In fact, his reaction to the Temple money-changers rather gives an idea of what he thinks about charging for services rendered by religious figures.

It's Paul, who, of course never knew Jesus, who goes on about giving generously (to his church), isn't it?

My question goes unanswered.
Why are people quoting from a known forgery in the NT canon to back up their belief the Earth is 6,000 years old?
I refer to 2 Peter, of course.

Doesn't anyone realise the foolishness of this?

And as a curiosity, Jericho has been dated to over 9,000 BC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho

That makes Jericho older than the Earth, doesn't it?
And guess what?
No evidence of a flood there!

FamilyRe: Pain & Mercy! My Husband Had Vasectomy Because Of Me by PA1982(f): 6:59am On Sep 03, 2011

Re: Pain & Mercy! My Husband Had Vasectomy Because Of Me
« #83 on: Yesterday at 10:52:23 AM »
No vasectomy does'nt stop Fluid production. It only stops its transpotation from the testis to the urethra (the tube thru which urine passes out). Young Spermatozoa are produced in the testes (seminiferous tubules) about 2billion Spermatozoa every month.  they are stored and mature in the epididymis.  When expulsion is going to happen Spermatozoa travel thru a tube called the VAS DEFERENS to the urethra. This vas deferens is the tube that is cut and tied to prevent Fluid from coming into urethra and this procedure is called vasectomy.  The Spermatozoa in their jouney down the urinary tube are mixed with other liquids - seminal fluid and prostatic fluid to improve certain things.
Fluid production continues even after vasectomy, but the Spermatozoa stagnate and die and they are reabsorbed into the body.No problem although complications can occcur some times. No problem for IVF but fluid has to be obtained by aspiration - that is sucking out with a needle.
Did't people understand this?
That husband is still able to father children.

Now.
About these opinions about altering God's plan.
Please get serious.
Is having a tooth filled altering God's plan?
How about circumcism?
How about blood donations?
How about using a condom?


Why is a vascectomy altering God's plan, since the man's capacity to father children is not taken away after the operation?
Christianity EtcRe: Live To Give - Pastor Anita by PA1982(f): 8:19am On Sep 02, 2011
The bible story I've quoted is told twice in the gospels and the versions are in agreement, something which can't be said of the last words Jesus spoke before dying.
So I'd say, yes, it's important.
Jesus himself says it is the first step, doesn't he.

So that makes it much more important than Paul's wheedling to get money out of his 'churches', doesn't it?

macayub-
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep;
The Sun precedes the Earth by a long, long time, so this 'darkness' is a human construct, not factual.

Every religion has their own particular creation myth and the OT is neither more nor less mythical than any other.
In fact, the OT creation myths differ among themselves, depending on which OT book you read.


Surely, in the 21st century, we have moved on from this sort of mythos, as we have moved on from believing the Sun circles the Earth.
Or that the Earth is flat.
Or that the stars 'hang' in the sky.

Who needs to believe such stories are literally true?

Christianity EtcRe: Live To Give - Pastor Anita by PA1982(f): 8:15am On Sep 01, 2011
Sorry about the mistype in your username, Image123, it was quite unintentional.
The post in question was this one:

An interesting point, Image123.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_and_the_rich_young_man

Jesus and the rich young man (also called Jesus and the rich young ruler) is an episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament.[1][2] It appears in the Gospel of Matthew 19:16–30, the Gospel of Mark 10:17–31 and the Gospel of Luke 18:18–30.

In the Gospel of Matthew, a rich young man asks Jesus what actions bring eternal life. First Jesus advises the man to obey the commandments. When the man responds that he already observes them, Jesus adds:

If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.[3]

The Gospel of Luke has a similar episode and states that:

When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."[4]

The disciples then ask Jesus who then can be saved, and Jesus replies: "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
In any case, there is no talk of Jesus saying- give to the pastors of your church, is there.
In both Gospels, the advice is to give to the poor.
I've always wondered how those ostentatiously rich pastors cope with 'the eye of the needle' reference.

Later, you answer dare2think's point by writing
You insist that Jesus' emphasis is giving to the poor. I said Jesus sympathizes with the poor but that's not/never his emphasis.
.

It looks very much as though that's not the case, Image123, at least according to Matthew and Luke's account.
"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

PAGAN 9JA, please try not argue with insults- it looks as though you're trying to show off all you know. wink

About the age of the Earth:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Earth

Here's a good place to start to learn facts, not myths.
Every religion has its creation myths, so while it IS always surprising to see them defended in the light of what we know, it's not unexpected.
What IS unexpected is to find tectonic plates treated as an urban legend because they aren't mentioned in the bible.
Or the Flood treated as a provable, historical event., when we know it is not.

This is why I mentioned the fact that the Earth circles the Sun, not the other way around.
Christians in Europe persecuted people for showing this from the Renaissance onward, as we know.
It's a shame to see this happening once again in the 21st century.
Christianity EtcRe: Did God Create Dinosaurs? by PA1982(f): 7:07pm On Aug 31, 2011

Do people really get through secondary schooling and yet believe the earth is 6,000 years old?

Here's the latest update on Libya
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14726292

Notice this:
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said that growing humanitarian shortages in Libya demand urgent action and appealed to the security council to be "responsive" to requests from the transitional authority for funding.

Though stockpiles of medical supplies and food stashed away by the government were found over the weekend, water supplies are short.

"An estimated 60% of Tripoli's population is without water and sanitation," he said. The EU's humanitarian office says that pro-Gaddafi forces are responsible for cutting supplies.

honeric-
Don't stoop to insults, please.
The video is very very clear.
The killings were done by the gov't forces. The reporter is explicit.


tpia-
I saw that bbc report, too.
The United Nations has called on all sides in the Libyan conflict to prevent acts of revenge.

It follows reports both of killings by pro-Gaddafi forces and of attacks on African troops who fought on the government side.
You notice there is nothing confirmed, as yet, nor does it relate to the video honeric mentions.

That video makes it clear that massacre in the shed or warehouse was by gov't (proGaddafi) troops before they fled.

Unless things have changed, the standard for translating for the UN is very high.
