luluosas: Bros please, can you help us verify if the Glo BB plans can now work on non BB devices, as this thread www.nairaland.com/1251948/hurray-glo-3gb-bis-now is spreading the rumours around without any concrete proof to support claims. Thank you.

Lol i've seen the thread. I dunno if bb plans work on non bb phone. But i know glo doesn't give any data for browsing when you subscribe their 1200 plan. You'll just be allowed to ping, email and other stuff like that. 1200 for 3gig while 1400 is 1gig? I don't think their madness have reached that level.

Am just waiting for this 1gig blackberry subscription to exhaust before i dump this network. Silly promo, silly network!

Deep Sight: But is being divine the same thing as being God?

What does it even mean to be divine, can you define and specifically qualify that?

.

When i say divine i mean Christ having the same nature and essence God have. Things that may qualify as divine from a trinatarian point view are grace, resurrection, salvation, immortality and everything good. There are other beings too that may not necessary referred as divine cus they work contrary to the will of God. So divine here is like being godlike or possessing attributes of God.

Let us say that God is living. Let us also say that we are children of God, and as such, we are living. Does this mean that we are God? Under Christian worldview, we are not God. However under some pantheistic views, everything is God and God is everything, and as such we ourselves are microcosms of God and part of the infinite God.

In what way is Jesus a different type of "child" of God, than you and me are. I have an elder brother who is the first son of my father, but he's a man just like myself, i think?

No he's not just a man like you. Jesus is different because of his divinely unique nature. Christ bearing the nature or form of God and being the very exact representation of God’s being means that he is fully God in essence, that he has every essential attribute of God (heb1:3).

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (ton huion ton monogenee),

The term monogenes literally means of sole descent, only one of its kind, unique. Thus, Jesus is the only Son of his kind, God’s Son in a unique manner, Son in a sense that no one else is.

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation… For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him," Colossians 1:15, 19

"For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form," Colossians 2:9

For brevity sake i'll leave it at here. But how about us? The Scripture is constantly referring to us as sons and daughters of God too…adopted by faith.

In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:4-5)

John 1:11-14
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

frosbel: 3 persons = 3 persons - correct

3 persons = 1 person - wrong


What do you take us for , fools

No not at all.

Just that bible said Jesus is the Son of God (Matt16:16) and there's no way he could be that unless he's divine...

Yes it is. The belief in one eternal God existing in three distinct, yet inseparable Persons. It doesn't have to make sense to you that's why its called faith. Even the bible agrees with me...

Hebrews11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

BetaThings: 1. Did you notice that he exonerated Christianity? If he had concentrated his comments on Islam, I would not have mistaken him for a Christian. He started by saying he had never heard of Christians being attacked. So he drageed Christianity into the fray
2. I lie with a straight face? How? I said I did not know he was an atheist? How is that a lie? On my computer, I don't see people's religious belief appended to their name
3. Please can you show where I called him names
4. Now I remember, sometime ago, you were the one quoting my post and editing it! Were you not, Sir?

ok he was ignorant Christians relations with Buddhists in that side of the world so what? How about pointing out his error without silly generalization that Christians are full of lies? It's not that am surprised that such bigoted statement came from you but the fact that the person you were addressing is not even a Christian. You didn't even bother to take correction or apologize for your silliness but rather choose to justify it with bogus claims of 'modus operandi' or whatever you mind comes up with. You were quick to chastise for pluralizing a crime committed by muslim while you've done the same thing?

Look at this thread. Christians don't make innocent mistakes. You guys commit deliberate and wicked falsehood
https://www.nairaland.com/1177010/hoaxes-fabrications

another one of your ignorant rants? Maybe i should make a thread were you muslims deliberately terrorize others because of religious difference?

[quote]So when a muslim makes a mistake, should we now use that to justify an attack on the whole Muslim community? That is the logic. I don't expect people to start attacking ALL Christians because ONE of them molested a woman. But you TWISTED the case to "they started molesting" as if it was a premeditated concerted action

Hypocrisy much? I didn't expect you to generalize that Christians are liars because of an atheist statement. Your so called logic seemed to have deserted you when Christians mentioned abi you dey suffer from selective amnesia?

These things are in black and white!
Read it again. You spoke of logic. So what does pluralising an incident by one person mean?

what's your problem? Lying or plain ignorance?

What's behind the unrest?

Overnight curfews in several towns and villages across the region have been in place since May, when the arrest of three Muslim men suspected of raping and killing a Buddhist woman sparked deadly clashes between the Rohingya and Rakhine Buddhists.

. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/26/world/asia/myanmar-rohingya-violence-explainer

No that is not what you did. You implied that the "ever-peaceful" Budhists were provoked into defending the honour of their women.
You never pointed out that what should have happened was for the "peaceful" people to have brought that lone attacker to justice!

It wasn't a lone attacker after all. And yes the fightings began after molestation began. After brazen show of ignorance here, who knows how much of it you spewed on that hoax and fabrication thread?

Now you are the one expanding the scope of the discussion to Palestinian crisis. You have not proved that anyone is not being helped. You have only assumed? BTW Palestine is supposed to be a country with right to it own territory, law enforcement and security complement. This is how that poster dragged Christianity into the matter

That was my initial question on the thread. What has Been done by islamic countries to help this people like they've been doing to the Palestinians? The burden of proof is not on me. Ha!

Rants? Did we mention the West? Did anyone speak of infidels before you did?
Sir, people can read writing on this thread from the beginning
Whenever we say Christians lie, you deny vigorously, but evidence abound

If you can't understand the reason i mentioned west before you brought up conspiracy theories that Obama went to myanmar to approve the killings of rohingya muslims (another lie you can't prove) then am sorry, your case is irredeemable.

BahPulo: if on only people understood the reason muslim women wear the hijab they would stop giving themselves high blood pressure. I have been on both sides of the discussion. for years I went out without the hijab while I dressed modestly all the time my hair was displayed looking back I wish I had the courage to take my hijab early. it liberates me, it keeps men with ignorant comments away from me when I am outside on my personal errands(any woman who has live in ny will appreciate what I am trying to get @ especially around prospect park) but most of all it is a constant reminder of what matter which is (Allah). So next time anyone wants to make it his /her personal mission to liberate me from my hijab he/she should have the courtesy to ask me first. I choose to wear my hijab, I don't pretend to be super religious or holly all I am trying to do is to practice my faith and the hijab is a tool that I have realised help me do just that

Gee you need a new hairdresser. If you had a nice hairstyle am sure they would be complimenting instead of making ignorant comments. That's if they were talking about u in the 1st place.

gracefams: wHy re many okoro women always find it difficult 2 conceive,go 2 luth nd other private hospitals u get 2 see plenty of aged igbo women who re barrens...majority of 'em re actually wombless due 2 mny abortions all in d sake dey dont wanna ve kids out of wedlock eish!what a worthless life smh.

You know this not really necessary. Mocking those so called barren women according to you.

Smh.

Oh so that's Peter of psquare? I've always thought this 1 is Paul. Well that's a positive to take away from this gay thread.

#yawns hola at me when Christians are allowed to build Churches in Saudi arabia.

Lol when did islam team sign Toba? Abi Christian team decided to loan him out after atheist team accused him of rigging last year's best player election?

Lol nice one. This just funny. Just surprised you left out one of the best if not the best dribbler, mr Ànony out of the team line up.

LOl @obadiah seems like you've got a new fan.

But what would Jesus do? I think he'd be like 'let him without sin cast the 1st stone. *everyoNe sneaks away* then he'll turn to the op 'is there no one left to condemn you? Neither do i. Now go home and sin No more'.

Right?

Lots of reasons not to vote former military dictator.

1) He's a serial loser He is not someone to Look up to by those who wants to succeed. He is not fit to be a role model let alone democratically elected president. I find it funny when some he should be a mentor to the likes of Ribadu, fashola etc. How can a Loser be a mentor to potential winners?

2) He's anti democracy This man overthrew a democratically elected government. In a sane society he would be cooling his head in jail fOr treason. But this Nigeria where mediocrity is celebrated by fucktards.

3) He's a pathetic tribalist. He didn't even bother to campaign in particular region during his presidential campaigns. Politics is about interest. Why would anybody vote for someone that doesn't have him and his region in his plans? And after losing the election rightly so, his bloodthirsty supporters went on killing rampage killing youth Corpers from the very region he despised and neglected.

4) A religioUs bigot and fanatic. Buhari made the infamous statement that Christians should vote for Christians and muslims vote fOr muslims. Sorry but we don't a religious fanatic as president. But thanks all the same. We'll take your bigoted statement under advisement.

alfaman2: How is it offensive?

Hmm, i dunno. Dictionary definition says it's offensive.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moslem

Lmao, this the 2nd or so thread that have been opened for the former alter boy since he went AWOL. Y'all really miss him excluding yours faithfully.

obadiah777: NO SIR. I THOUGHT THEY WERE CALLED 'MOSLEMS'. NOTHING DEROGATORY. AHH I SEE WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. ITS 'MUSLIM' NOT 'MOSLEM'. ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS 'MOSLEM'

Aha, now you know. Lol

'Moslem' is sometimes considered offensive to islam. Is that a deliberate attempt to offend their fragile sensitivity?

A slideshow presentation shown to US Army Reserve recruits classifies Christians, including both evangelicals and Roman Catholics, as religious extremists, placing them in the same category as skinheads, the Ku Klux Klan, Hamas and Al Qaeda.

The presentation also warned that members of the military are prohibited from taking leadership roles in any organization the Pentagon considers 'extremist,' and from distributing the organization's literature, whether on or off a military installation.

The opening slide warns that 'the rise in hate crimes and extremism outside the military may be an indication of internal issues all [armed] services will have to face.'

Citing a Southern Poverty Law Center report as evidence that extremism is on the rise, the Army Reserve presentation blames 'the superheated fears generated by economic dislocation, a proliferation of demonizing conspiracy theories,the changing racial make-up of America and the prospect of 4 more years under a black president who many on the far right view as an enemy to their country.'

EXTREMIST ORGANIZATIONS: The presentation described groups like the religious organizations as advocating force, violence or extremist causes

---

Later in the slideshow is a list of groups that exemplify 'religious extremism.'

Included are 'evangelical Christianity,' 'Catholicism,' 'Ultra-Orthodox' Judaism, and 'Islamophobia.'

Most of the list is populated by more widely accepted examples of religious extremist groups, including Al Qaeda, Sunni Muslims, Hamas, and the Ku Klux Klan.

'Men and women of faith who have served the Army faithfully for centuries shouldn't be likened to those who have regularly threatened the peace and security of the United States,' retired Col. Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, said in a statement.

'It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of wrongheaded characterization.

Our Yansh: Abeg park your face joor!!!

So she shouldn't express her opinion again...abi??

Why not comment on the issue raised by the OP or shut your putrid foul smelling disfigured mouth up!!

She expressed her opinion albeit how silly it was, i expressed mine and so did you.

That's the beauty of freedom of expression init?

So please don't take out the anger of your life failures on me. Idíot.

I dunno why my post was hidden. These mods sef.

Vanneni: Smile4ken has been banned till 2015 that's why he hasn't been commenting but I guess he'd soon use his alt acc to comment.

seriously?

smile4kenn: I feel so honored to be the first comment. All of my hard work and dedication has paid off. Getting the top comment has been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost I would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity. Next, I would like to thank my girlfriend. She had been patience with me while I attempt to make the top comment. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next I would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that I need to get through the day to make the top comment. This is a special moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that I will never forget. I just remembered a few other people I will like to thank; Facebook, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on nairaland, my house because without it I would be homeless, and last but not least I would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the first comment on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I would say, you can achieve anything u set your mind on. To all the nairalanders out there reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the first comment is amazing, thank you everyone.
