Does everything in Nigeria revolve around prophecy? Its pathetic and sickening the rate at which they r dished out.
Its as if prophecy is the foundation of everything.Good Lord people need to refuse these lies cz theres too much deception in the name of prophecy.
Much of what they call prophecy is nothing but pure witchcraft cz they threaten you with curse or death.
That is not even the spirit of God but doom. God speaks life,prosperity,joy not death.
Its no wonder the pastors are stinking rich cz they found gullible people.
I cant stand one.
I prophecy good health,joy,success,peace and all things good to myself every morning.
I don't need some crazy fellow in robe to do that.

A young man was walking along along one of Southern California's sandy beaches with his surf board. He suddenly spots this bottle which has recently washed up on the beach. It's obvious it's been tossed around for a long time. He picks up the bottle and notices that it still has the cork intact. So, being curious as to what may be inside, he manages to get the cork out and out pops a Genie.

After expressing profound appreciation for having been let out of the bottle, the Genie grants his benefactor the classic, "one wish" and it will be yours. Being an avid surfer, it doesn't take him long to say, "I've always wanted to surf Hawaii, but I get seasick on ships and I'm afraid to fly. Would you build me a bridge to Hawaii?"

The Genie replies: "Do you know what your asking? Do you know how long the bridge would have to be? Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. And the maintenance of that bridge! No, think of another wish.

The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women , know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment , know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say nothing , know how to make them truly happy , I really want to understand women and how they think!"

The Genie responds: "Would you like that bridge with two lanes or four?"

please dont bother.even solomon couldnt.

pillows,cover,mattress 3 in one.

Gone to puke.

yeah I read this in one ugandan daily online.
Pathetic

Nayah:
lol Habari sister am I wrong,?

Poa kabisa.
Nope you are not.Its the last 2 parts that got me laughing.

Routine then death

I am wondering whether you meant physical death or death of love

still funny

Nayah:
El Guapo, love is gradual and different along years
First Passion
Second Marriage
Third cohabitation and family life
Fourth routine

End Death

Nayah nini sasa.

C'mmon people, you hide first and think Later.That's how the body responds first.Flight.
Am sure the hubby dint hear the words 'my husband'.He only heard 'hide, hide' First instinct is hide.
So the woman is guilty cz dreams come as a result of the day's activities.

Pls, houz help me,

I have told this girl countless times, that we can't get married, yet she says no,
AM not ready yet, dont wait for me, she says noooo,
[b]
I have cheated so may times so that she can run [/b]and leave me to no avail,

Am left with no option, not that I dnt love her, but am not just READY NOW,
shes far from understanding, telling me I must marry her b4 December,

I neva see this kin thin B4 oooooo,

How old are you? are you? Geez arent you man enough to say NO?
See your small games of trying to make her leave you.What if you contracted some disease in the process?
Marriage is not by force so stop running,sit her down,look her in the face and tell her you are not ready to settle.
Stop acting like a teenage boy.

Beautiful ladies on the scene,

Can you approach a guy you seem to admire so much and make him to fall in love with you? If yes, how can you do it? What are the methods that you can use to achieve your aim.

He either falls for my natural self or leave me in perfect peace.
I don't like sweating to make a guy fall for me cz I will need a lot of effort to maintain the same image that made him fall for me in the first place.
Ah ah I got no time for all that.

Again, history is my proof.

The world would better off without it[b]( my opinion).[/b]

AMEN.

The beauty of choices just do what you love doing.no big deal

This your marriage has cancer.Its just too advanced
You know its risky giving 2 cents worth of advise to a married couple till one hears from both sides

[quote author=Mrs.Chima link=topic=748945.msg9056741#msg9056741 date=1314893288]That's all Lax75 and I was saying.  Let him come SEE HER FIRST and if it work out then go visit him at his stomping ground wherever that is.   

Why is she helping a grown man get a visa to come see her?  Nevertheless, you said the key phrase. If you are not patient enough then feel free.[/quote]You are right.let him be man enough and come down.

If he loves me that much as he claims he would do it. But if I did it I would look desperate.

Let the man take the lead.

@OP

I am into interracial relationship! What it takes to make it worthwhile  is to have great understanding and patient if you really know the partner is for real. I take time to educate my girl about my father traditions and my people. Well, we are into the relationship for some months now and it turns out to be interesting. Let respect also be the watchword !

I love that part.

I think if I were in the op shoes I would let the dude fly down to canada first. work out the visa and let him come.That will make me feel safer than going to meet him in a far land.
If money is the issue, then all4naija said it well,It takes patience and understanding.
And if he is not patient enough with me,then theres nothing that I can do.

Cuddlemii:
How is it like to kiss an Atheist? What does it feel like. Is it the normal way. Do they touch too? Do they frown or slap in place of caressing? Do they like it rough or bruises while in it. I mean educate me about the romance side of Atheist. What did they teach about relationship & romantic gestures. Are you allowed to massage, use ice cream, candles & candle lite dinners. Kiss on the forehead. Can you be intense with your lover? Or its a sign of weakness. Can your wife make the first move or its disrespectful. Can you experiment other intimate positions with your spouse or just missionary. What message does your religion teach about sex? I might write on this. "The influence of religion on romance & intimacy"

Please if you are not going to be liberal enough to do justice to my question, go sort your temper else where. I am a learner here & I am not one way street, need to know everything.

Theres a lot happening on this thread am trying to pick out what is sensible.

Listen cuddle. RELIGION IS just A BRAND. Infact I have just realised that in this debate.
Now brand can change names but the product may remain the same. So to answer you. I don't think kissing a muslim,christian or a witch is any different from kissing the aethist as far as physical contact is concerned.
For heavens sake,an aethist could love you more than a christian,I have dated a christian and regreted.
That doesnt disqualify all christians or make me look down upon the other religions.
My worry would come when you marry.Unless you agree and are mature enough it would be pretty difficult to make decisions.
Remember that marriage is not just about intimacy or kissing. Sex with and aethist could be better than with a christian or muslim.
But what about the other aspects of marriage?

@pendo89

Nobody is saying you should regret been deceived!Why being so defensive when you really see what is faith about?Come on, educate me more on that faith! .

If you read well am not trying to be defensive.People have been brainwashed by 'fake preachers ' to the extent that now God seems fake.
What you need to know is that they stand to be judged by God himself.Its for you to be wise and avoid being misled by anybody.
Am a believer but you cannot deceive me at all.I will not give tithe to you or my money in exchange for prayers or other nonsense.And you cannot threaten me with silly curses either cz I know what the Bible says.
There's a lot of witchcraft taking place in majority of those churches under the disguise of religion and that's why I hate the word religion.
Your life should be the testimony.Not your preaching or your wealth,That's all rubbish.

Now start loving God

all4naija:
If you could define faith you would see how you have been deceived!

Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.If my faith is deception oh am lucky to posess it. No regret.

globexl:
I'm sorry to be negative, but what u just wrote is quite meaningless. God is a spirit so we cannot understand him and his ways? Then what is the purpose of religon? Why have humans built a huge edifice called religion trying to tell us that god is this and god is that and he likes this and he likes that?
If god created us imperfect, then why are we worshipping god?
If you beliueve whgat you just said, then religion is a fraud or at best, irrelevant,  If we cannot understand things of the spirit , then why bother at all? Why dont we spend more time to understand the things we can see and observe?

This is the bible>> spiritual things are spirtually discerned.God is nt a carnal being but spiritual.Trying to understand Him with your carnal mind is difficult. That is why even the most learned cant comprehend a thing about God.Hes not in our level.And never will be.
It takes faith in him and some revelation to fully understand the word.You wonder why people get deceived by 'fake pastors' ?
They misinterpret the word,twist it and give it to you as deception on silver platter cz you dnt understand the context at all.
A fake pastor tells you that since Zaccheous gave all his wealth to Jesus then you must do the same.You proceed to do that.
Whom do you blame? yourself not the pastor.He just fulfilling a prophecy regarding end times
No wonder you have all these jet buying pastors cz some even preach witchcraft and guys are gullible enough to swallow everything.
People will be free when they learn how to understand and interpret the bible.

God never created any imperfect being. Lucifer was perfect till he sinned. Adam and Eve were perfect till they sinned.God is without sin.
Its sin that makes us imperfect but hey the good news is we have Jesus who was made sacrifice and so there's no condemnation for those who blve.

Religion is not faith. Faith in God is not about wars.But we fight religious wars dont we? we discriminate because we are religious but God loves all.
Man made religion not God. I dont recall God saying 'let there be muslims and they were there,or 'let there be christians.
So these religions will end here cz we created them to serve our own selfish purposes. God is above religion is what you should know.
Those walls you talk bout are man made.God had no wall.He has laws to be obeyed.

[quote author=Mrs.Chima link=topic=749074.msg9055802#msg9055802 date=1314887323]Believers debating religion and spirituality with Nonbelievers is like comparing apples with oranges.  

It is not your war people.[/quote]

Sagamite:
Can you prove that? Or is that mere dogmatic conjecture?

Do u believe in God? NO
Do you believe in the Bible? NO

So how on God's great and beautiful earth do u expect me to supply you with proof?

All I have is Faith.Can you handle that? It cant be seen rem.

Sagamite:
And for the record, I am not an Atheist!

Well stop giving us headache then.Am not religious either,I do not subscribe to any religion cz its just a shell.
Am a believer with faith.

harakiri:
It never fails to baffle me.

I am not nigerian and nver bn there,but its not soo much a nigerian issue.I will tell you the reason though.

Religion is a man-made tool to try and reach out to God. Faith on the other hand is God's attempt to reach out to man. See the difference?
No wonder you see all these conflicts you talk about cz they are man-made.Still the reason you call them religious wars.
So you are right but you now know, that the reason behind it is cz religion is about Man, while Faith is about God.

Since you do not believe in Bible or God, I cannot even begin to tell you the reason for those biblical wars. you already have your own interpretation.
What you must know is that to fully understand/Interpret the Bible you need Revelation and Faith.Not only human knowledge.
Why? cz God is a spirit and spiritual things are spiritually discerned.The bible is also inspired by God(spirit) so how do u even attempt to interpret it with your own small mind?Its a total waste of time trying to understand and interpret scriptures using your carnal mind cz its too limited to comprehend anything.
What you end up doing is pass wrong judgements and conclusions.

These societal problems are man-made not God made. For heavens sake we cant make wrong policies elect wrong leaders make foolish decisions then sry foul at God's feet? He gave you a mind to think not to act silly. Lets not scatter him everywhere.

Sagamite:
You want to prove the highlighted?

How did you know? You know God? How do you know God and what he wants?

Sagamite.Listen and listen good.

I know because I know. I know what He wants cz He lives in me.
If you cant take that.please rest your mind cz I avoid debates about God's existence.
If its suits you just believe He doesnt exist ok. Am very much at peace with that and prefer being called foolish.
I am fool for believing He exists.Happy?

harakiri:
And how do you know this? Let me guess : You read about it in a book whose teaching you've been indoctrinated with from childhood. Anything else to back up your claim?

It very simple.I know how aethists argue. You and I cannot argue at all. All tell u why.

>>>I believe in Bible.And I base my arguments there.You do not believe in it. So? no basis no argument therefore its disqualified

>>>You do not believe in religion.Well Neither do I.But am not aethist.I just dont believe any religion will take anybody to heaven.
 Faith  in God is not about religion. Infact Faith is not religious at all. Religion is created by man.Faith is God's

>>>I have that 'Faith'.You do not believe in it.So tell me how do we expect to understand each other? its impossible.
 
 Faith is a substance of things not seen the evidence of things 'to come'. Aethists believe in facts,and things seen with the natural eye.
 
So imagine a marriage to an aethist! we shall argue day in day out cz we wont agree on so many things.
See,Nothing convicts you the aethist at all cz u got no reference.To you anything goes and everything is acceptable.
You are not accountable to any higher being or power because you are your own 'small god' dictating how you should do stuff.
I have a God who expects me to do things accordingly.So? conflict will be there.And how do we even resolve it? Its difficult.

Its a world of choices.Let everybody exercise what they want.At death we are all equal. And our destiny lies with one person then.

Anything formed is a creature. Am one.
An aethist is simply a creature who denies his creator.
Its like preparing a report then it rejects you as the author.
Until one recognises His creator anything they do and say doesn't make much sense.
They are lost in their own human wisdom which is nothing but foolishness to God the creator.
Aetheists are good people yeah, they contribute a lot to nation building, amazing discoveries etc etc.
But that's where it ends. They just cant understand the most simple of all things called Faith.
Anyway .Its a world of choices.

I must marry one who acknolewdges his creator and gives Him due respect. its as simple as that.

mmh .so religion is the root of all evil in the world. If all religions were banned then the world would be one peaceful place to live in?
Is man only a spiritual being ?
Thank God am not religious.
Am redeemed.

Long One:
^^^ true, but it also depends on the context in which the word/phrase is used.

So is mswati the hubby, or an oracle?

Ok applies on the below

1.Boardroom during a biz meeting
2.Marriage btwn 2
3.Politics
4.War.

Lol yeah hubby.

Well whatever breakthrough that was, God is to be praised always.
He never fails or forsake those who trust in Him
So yeah He's Awsome indeed.
