"There is very little that is confusing in
the Bible.  When we understand all the
original readings and the context behind them,
the confusion virtually disappears. Of course we need
scholarship to understand everything in there, as we are
2,000 - 3,500 years and a translation removed from the original hearers."

That's a quote any honest thinker will readily agree to.

But then one must commend some fellas. It's not easy
sitting up all those nights Googling up "contradictions".

Thanks for the link: http://www.upontruth.com/categories/biblecontradictions.html

Did you watch Pigeon Street?

@nenyenwato

The problem with such questions is that
they are based on a false premise: that
everybody is the same.

Every woman is different.

Again, it's not clear what aspect of
satisfaction you are referring to.

@therationa

Permit me to say here that the issue
of rebutting your arguments is irrelevant.

Why? You ask.

Analogy: imagine trying to interpret a
Yoruba poem with Igbo, just because a few
words in Yoruba SOUND LIKE Igbo.

Let me explain:

You said: "Love, is a sentiment"

Well, you'll only have to read the Bible to
find out the Bible's OWN definition of
love. Not exactly your average
dictionary definition of love, the kind
that you are avoiding a "blanket expenditure"
of.

"Suspending critical faculties"? Let me tell you something
about suspending critical faculties.

Let's say you are sick. For you to be treated by a
doctor, you have to "suspend your critical faculties"
and trust that this fellow in white robes actually knows
a bit more than you about how your body operates.

Does that make you a fool? Does that mean you
are brainless, since you are supposed to know
enough about yourself to treat yourself?

It's only enlightened self-interest to admit that
there are some things beyond you and that
you need HELP. That is even why you read a
lot of material from folks better versed in atheism
than you.

Finally, the Bible is the Word of GOD! Granted, very bold claim.
To you, maybe very irrational claim, afterall there are
volumes of "inspired" documents out there.

Why do I want to stress this point? Because the Bible
is its own interpreter. It doesn't pander to anybody's
pet ideas about "injustice", "moral worth of man", "rational
arguments",

How would our world be if the law of gravity was so "liberal"
as to know the right time to operate and when to ease
off a bit? How comforting that some things are FIXED,
granting a certain stability and peace of mind!


P.S. Just a thought; could you really have a fruitful
negotiation/discussion without "refrain[ing] from
passing value judgment [on] other people"?

Hello

Albert Einstein said it all:

"Science without religion is lame
Religion without science is blind"

Nuff said.

Fellas

Give the guy a break;
A guy's gotta eat!

"How to Raise Capital Without Going to
the Bank Or Collateral" Not a bad idea, considering
the high level of unemployment in the
country.

Only thing I found strange was the bonus
for buying the manual: How to Choose the
Sex of Your Baby.

How about that?

Do you know of any property in Jos
available for sale/lease?

Preferable properties include: hotels,
restaurants, filling stations, mining

"Go Voltron Force!"

I played this link at the office yesterday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZv5Z2Iz_s

You need to see the positive
vibes I got from my contemporaries.
We were all reciting along the lines:
"Ready to from Voltron. Activate Interlock.
Dynafirms Connected, "

Enough reminiscing about the good
old days when comics and Voltron
were the thing. We shared the
episodes we watched, laughed over
how many classes we missed to
keep track of Voltron's latest challenge,

Believe me, Voltron Rules!

@Carlosein,

Thanx for the YouTube link.

I wonder how those guys got the
idea for such a hit cartoon.

I don't think cartoons these days can
engage young ones the way Voltron
did us back then.

", And I'll form the Head!"

Hello All,

Don't Attend Another Money Seminar Until You Read This!"


You are about to discover the secret to achieving your financial
dreams. Please read on.

A lot of people attend seminars, get filled with all the latest
money-making ideas, and then sit back and complain about
"No Capital!"

How do I know this?

I've done my private survey, and I discovered that Nigeria is
teeming with budding entrepreneurs who could move mountains
if they had capital to start their dream businesses.

Are you ready for my next statement?

These entrepreneurs do not even believe in their ideas!

Want to know how I know? Simple; I asked!

Earlier, I put up ads on this forum inviting people
with ideas to submit their plans to so my company
could see whether we could invest in them.

That was the biggest eye-opener I ever had on
Nigerian entrepreneurs.

Someone will tell you he needs N1 million for his
"sure-banker" cat-fish farm. You listen to him patiently,
then ask the acid question:"What would you do if you
were given TWICE the amount you need?"

He stares blankly at you at first; then when he
comes back to Earth, he tells you some trendy stuff
like "I'll invest the rest in shares/real estate/etc"

Do you want to know what that answer has just
proved?

The young man is not ready for the money he's asking for.

Where on Earth did people get the idea that businesses
must be started with millions of naira?

Can't you see that it's clear that most people are using
LARGE capital as an excuse to delay their financial dreams?

If you really believe in your idea, you will find a way to start
it with what you have right now.

Look at Nature. Everything big starts little. You were once
a seed yourself. Think about it.

So what's the point, you ask.

The point is "Think big and start small ". The Bible says
we should not despise the day of small beginnings.

Have you attended a money-making seminar lately
and you need N50,000 or less to launch the business?
Then talk to us. Make sure you have a detailed plan
of what you want to do.

Send your plan TODAY to winssincee@yahoo.com

GOD bless you.

Winston

More explicit?

Basically, you have an idea that is explicitly (that word again!)
expressed on paper with adequate facts and figures.

You now send us this "business plan". If we consider it worthwhile,
we invest in it.

See? There's no mystery to it actually.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Folks,

Just wondering aloud: how many real investors
(or their associates) actually view these
posts in NairaLand?

I'm asking because I'm involved in a potentially
lucrative project. Thank God, I've been able to
get the ear of  foreign investors.

What I need now is Partners. No necessarily
only financial partners, but anyone with that
entrepreneurial zeal who can think on his feet.

"But," you may ask, "what exactly is this project
I'm talking about?"

All I can say now in an open forum like this is that
it's a conglomerate kind of plan, incorporating
mainly manufacturing, telecoms, petroleum,
and real estate.

"So how exactly do you come in?"

What do you do?

Can you write tight business plans in 24 hours?

Do you have links with high networth individuals?

Do you have business/management experience (or
do you know anyone who has?)

In short, how can you be a part of this?

Please feel free to ask me any questions: being
an efficient critic is also part of being a partner!

Contact me at 0803-2219-627 (SMS ONLY PLS!)

Expecting your responses.

Winston

P.S. Please SMS Only! The other time I advertised
here, flashers nearly drove me up the wall!

Hello Folks.

The much-talked about FirstBank public offer is finally out.

As usual, a lot of “Stock Exchange gurus” are falling over themselves to
tell us how good (or bad)  it is as an investment.

First of all, let me assure you I am NOT a guru.

Anybody who knows a bit about the Stock Exchange will proudly tell you
that there’s a very thin line between investing in stocks and gambling.

The real truth is: NOBODY can guarantee that FirstBank will make you
a millionaire or not. NOBODY is sure whether they are going to multiply
the shares with another One-for-One bonus this time around.

But, you may wonder, WHY on Earth am I telling you all this?

Because I want you to make the choice YOURSELF. Investing in any
Stock, even in a blue-chip stock like FirstBank, is still a RISK.

Are you willing to take that risk? Only YOU can decide.
Whether your investment succeeds or bombs, YOU are the one
Responsible, not any guru, broker, …and certainly not your
family and friends who advised you in good faith!

“But”, you ask again, “ I thought this article was going to tell me some
Facts about the FirstBank offer”

Sure. Here we go. Let’s keep it short and simple.

1. Even though the official target is N100 billion, FirstBank is actually
Aiming for TWICE that figure (N200billion)
Translation: The shares are going to be oversubscribed.

2. The deadline of June 21, 2007 may NOT be extended (Check out the
Ominous clock counting down at the website!)

3. The official website for the offer is www.naijabigoffer.com


4. The form you print from the website can be used to purchase the shares.
Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!

5. The key reasons for this offer are: (a) Branch Network Expansion
(b) Investment in subsidiaries and (c) Increasing the number of Automated Teller Machines
(so you don’t have to sleep in the bank to get your money, as was the case in the FirstBank of yore!)

(Note: You still have to read the prospectus to further educate yourself.)

6 The price is N33 per share and you can buy a minimum of 500 units (that is N16,500)


So there are the basic facts you need to know. Now think about it squarely: think about your current financial situation. Are you satisfied with your level of investment? If so, move on. If not, go NOW to www.naijabigoffer.com, print out the form and go to the
FirstBank branch nearest to you. It's really as simple as that.

Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Winston
(08053005123 Text only please)

P.S. Just another thing, after you’ve printed out the form from www.naijabigoffer.com , be so kind and write this number at the
Top of the form: FPO2001856201
P.P.S. What the number means? FPO means FirstBank Public Offer. 18562 is my Staff Number (Yes, I’m an employee of the Elephant! Though I’ve tried to be objective enough!)
P.P.P.S. Paying into that account will mean you’ve appreciated the time I spent to tell you about this offer and that
you are helping me meet my target. I have a marketing target to meet for the Elephant. Together we can make it win-win!God bless you.
