Heaven is not democracy or by popular demand. psalm 15

You're right, Heaven is not for hypocrites who lay burden of human doctrines and dogmas on others and would never lift a finger to help them in carrying the burden Matt 23vs 23.

Jesus said that what defiles comes from the heart, it's the heart of the fashionable gal or guy that defiles and not the simple, easy-fitting trousers.

Paul says that you could also forgo doing certain things you enjoy because of your brothers that are weak in faith. If what I do makes my neighbor to fall, I'd stop doing it, not because it's bad but because I would not allow what I do to destroy the faith of my brother (because he/she is weak in faith).

Bless those who understand.

nopuqueater,
so if you give birth to children are you saying that it will be wrong for them to call you their father or daddy simply because you already have a father that gave birth to you? Pls dont confuse issues here, Jesus is not our equal. He is the son of God and our Lord just like you are the son of your father and the father of your children.

A carnal, bigoted mind will never understand the things of the Spirit. You have made a good point, let him that has an ear hear!

No, thank you! Been there, done it, and left it. There is nothing in it. No open-mindedness(are you kidding me), no vision, peace(can't have that when you live in fear and guilt), love, or anything joyful.

Oh I see what the problem has been. You were with the Christian sect that gave the Muslims the dogmas they hold so dearly. You're still in bondage. If you don't know that Muhammad himself was a member of that Christian sect, then you don't know anything about Islam. To be free you have to become a Christian and not a bead counter and the Prince of Peace will make you a new person. You need peace and love in your life now after passing through the emotional strain of hanging with 1 group that can't separate their right from their left, and then moving to another that copied the doctrine of the first.
Jesus will give you peace my brother.

There is no need for hypocrisy in the church. If a lady can wear trousers outside the church, then she should be ale to wear it inside the church too. The problem with wearing of trousers is that, most ladies wear trousers that are not decent enough which calls for criticism. I will advice that ladies should be decent in their collection of trousers.

Meaning that you approve trousers but insist that it must be decent. Very well then.

@Precap2: « #23 on: Today at 11:17:18 AM »  I know the Name of my Maker.  When I write "Eloi" I am making fun of the ignorance of Christianity, because Jesus said his Lord is Eloi. The christians say that Jesus is Eloi, but rather yahweh or Jehovah is his proper name. So who is the liar between the two camps?

No, you're making fool of yourself. Read what you wrote here:
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-480015.0.html

You see to enjoy parading empty knowledge. You almost deceived me into believing you know something but now you botched it.

nopuqeater:
@^^^^^: Your Islamic classes was taught by a muslim, am sure. Liar.

Did Moses kill people who were not created by God? Yes or no?

Did David kill anyone not created by God? Does that make him less than an elect of God, with the Psalm which was revealed to him? How about Solomon?

So this is what it's all about? You're reading out Muhammad's equals? I see! Then Jesus is not any equal of your Muhammad because these men only bore witness to the TRUTH which is Jesus.

nopuqeater:
They (The Arabs) were naturally a viotent people. But Islam calmed them down.

If suicide bombers are calm in your estimation, then I don't wish any human being to come near you.

nopuqeater:
The Bible said that Jesus instructed his followers to purchase swords, if the individua do not have a "Bag". Whats the value of the things in that "bag" whereby it is equal to sword? When you ask somebody to do something, you are assumed to be the one doing it yourself. Thats the reality that you are now denying.

You are only parading ignorance of the Holy Scripture , but you've been good at quoting, give me a quote please.

nopuqeater:
Talking to so many of you people is like talking to a mere boulder.

Impatience is the deadliest sin that all Muslims without exception have to fight against, but it remains elusive.
Make a decision for Jesus while there is still time.

@nopuqeater, you're a Muslim and can't say any reasonable thing about Christianity. The nature of faith forbids that. If you read well in this and any other forum I don't criticize any religion (because faith is mutually exclusive, naturally), I only ask to know more.
The nature of your criticism is making you obnoxious everywhere

Holla!

Scholars everywhere, that's interesting.
nopuqeater <------ tell me why you can't make up your mind about which name belongs to your maker? Is it because the Aramaic Peshita thing is getting you mixed up? I perceive that most of the language you use are that of the Aramaic Peshita pushers.

I don't know how to say this without attracting a lot of hate language from "vedaxcool", but was Arabians naturally a violent people or did it start from the days of Muhammad? Why so much terror and suicide bombing with little regard for ones life? And why don't the Islamic teachers tell these bombers that a religion of Peace (as you always say) should not espouse so much violence as to value their own lives?
I need only reasonable answers.

Of course there is poverty in North Africa there is  no doubt about that. Having said that though this study covered 26 African (poorest) countries. So when you consider countries like DRC, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eriteria, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Uganda, etc plus the poor countries of West Africa are located in Sub-Saharan Africa, you can see how one could have come to that conclusion.

Brilliant, but there was no % to tell us which country contributed how many poor. It's possible that 1 country contributed over 20% of the entire number. Like I mentioned earlier Egypt. Egypt has behind it's glittering facade more % of poor people than many nations labeled sub saharan Africa. But I'll try to get you the report I'm referring to. After all we're all learning at the same time.

Those figures are from the past, in a currency that does not exist anymore (more later).

Tsvangirai has nothing to do with Zimbabwe's economic figures, the "miracle" decision that has seen Zim's economy rapidly transform was taken before he was bought for a slice of govt action.
The Zim Dollar was being depressed and pressured by Western countries, so Zim decided to use the Western countries main currency instead, because they cannot attack their own currency, US Dollar. Really smart move! Since then, its been up and up! It is possible to face down colonial powers.

About comparing Zimbabwe and Nigeria, you'll be shocked to find that the Zimbabwean govt actually provides services that would shame us. Have you ever had a vehicle breakdown and called an emergency number in Nigeria and have someone (not criminals) turn up to fix it? In Zim you would. Have you seen Zims road network compared to ours? Or how much electricity they generate per capita compared to us? Please lets avoid comparing ourselves until we get our act together, I love my country and it gets really embarrassing the deeper you dig.

As I be wafarian, "Hala!"

Abacha refused IMF and pegged $ at N82 and they couldn't devalue our currency. How then did Mugabe fail to peg his currency? If I understand international finance at all IMF and World bank can't devalue your currency for you, they can only suggest that you devalue to some extent accommodate your products or produce in the market. You take the final decision. And Mugabe who rejected them had inflation running into 9-digits. Interesting.
And about changing currency, is he going into modern day slavery?

He was Thomas Anderson before i.e ( the first name Thomas derived from the biblical doubting Thomas, because he did not believe at first) and last name Anderson transalated as "son of man"

That is what one becomes when one mingles too much with folks who subscribe to the myopic, stereotyping, sentimental and ridiculous christian doctrines. Perhaps i need to keep them at arms length for a while. I don catch their disease.

One day you'll become a Christian and you'll begin to experience a life of open-mindedness, vision, peace, love, and joyful. Embrace that life today while you can still be redeemed.

I wouldn't say that if I were you. There had always been a distinction of dresses no matter how similar looking. You may want to write down. Men wore breeches and women wore skirts. These are not associated to the opposite gender even in scriptures, pls do check it up. After it's all said and done, your leviticine excuse for deuteronomy doesn't hold. It was an abomination to God, not a question of menses. I'll tell you why. Wearing cloth pertaining to opposite gender was an heathen practice. The heathen did it usually when they had their festivals. You should read up on that. House, Has anyone read on cross-dressing yet? What a sigh.
Blimey! You may not need to read to far. Such practices are still done today. One would imagine that the Indian clothes are so similar, would deut 22v5 apply. Check out what devil is making them do at the Kottankulangara Sridevi temple festival. It's Kottankulangara, you don't want to bite your tongue here.

You pick a sentence out of context.
The Jews (male and female) wore gowns or robes, the distinguishing element was that while men tie theirs on the right side, women tie on the left. Likewise I know that the Igbos culturally tie wrappers (male and female) with the difference in how they tie them. Scottish men and women wear skirt, English men and women wear trousers.
If I decide to adopt the Jewish robes and wear gown today, how would you see me?
If my wife adopt English trousers and wear it, how does it look?
You might say that both are unacceptable (in your views), but if you want to adopt a people's culture, then don't discriminate. Even the English have men trousers zipper on the right and ladies on the left.
Wearing trouser is English culture and both men and women wear it there, just as men and women Jews wear gowns. Simple.

Beginning of armed conflict
Following the emigration, the Meccans seized the properties of the Muslim emigrants in Mecca.[103] Economically uprooted and with no available profession, the Muslim migrants turned to raiding Meccan caravans as an act of war, deliberately initiating armed conflict between the Muslims and Mecca.[104][105] Muhammad delivered Qur'anic verses permitting the Muslims to fight the Meccans (see Qur'an 22:39–40).[106] These attacks pressured Mecca by interfering with trade, and allowed the Muslims to acquire wealth, power and prestige while working towards their ultimate goal of inducing Mecca's submission to the new faith.[107][108] In March of 624, Muhammad led some three hundred warriors in a raid on a Meccan merchant caravan. The Muslims set an ambush for them at Badr.

I didn't bother to look at your Wiki post because there is something a few moslems know and the ones that don't know it wallow in laughable ignorance.
Mohammad was a terrorist hired by the Roman Catholic cusaders to deliver Israel into their (Catholic) hands, because they have tried many unsuccessful times to take over Jerusalem and build the biggest cathedral there. The story is very long but at bottom Mohammad rebelled after some misunderstanding and on decided to keep away from the Roman Catholics, but he could not completely relinquish the catholic way of life.
May I also let you know wonderful moslem bros that Mohammad's mother could not bear child for her husband until something happened. . . . If you can complete the story, I'll give you the biggest surprise of the millennium.

But to put a conclusion, Mohammad introduced terror into the heart of his followers and the catholics erred in hiring him and bringing him to eminence.

That's more a question of a seductive pose than a seductive trouser. If the woman in pix 1 stands that way, one may argue for seduction, yes. Oh wait till she puts on a shorter blouse and sit in danfo going to Yaba, hahahaha. Precap cool down, i dey come your side. Patience is a virtue, and btw when last did you read the whole best seller Leviticus book. Don't put a grievous burden on me if you wouldn't move it with moi

You reply to the pics posted above is only one of rhetoric and not of substance. A person dressing in the manner of pix1 most likely would not pose like the person in pix2. But the question is not about pose but about how sinful is the dressing in pix1.
Talking about virtue, the only thing I remember about it is that it's easily turned to vice especially the virtue of patience.
As for reading Leviticus, may I say with all humility and truthfulness that I read the entire Bible every six months and that means I do it twice a year, not adding other minor readings in church and for personal lessons on scriptural exposition. It's no big deal to ask you to read Leviticus my bro.

Tonye-t:
Pls what is seductive about the trousers in Pix 1 , yet it is a form of clothline called TROUSERS the same clothline as that of the Pix2. so you see form aint the issue but the mode in which it is sewn to be worn.

It's evident that some have classified themselves as agents of heaven and would stand at the gate of the Hall of Glory on that day to select those that would enter therein.
It's also very interesting to note that the post I made above was summarily dismissed with a wave of the hand as invocation of Heavenly charge. (Read the entire Leviticus is the only task I asked of all)
One important question is: What does God wear that makes you believe He's so interested in trousers and pants made for men and women? Wears are culturally determined and I've been to a culture where both male and female wear exactly the same thing (as is also the Jewish case) with the difference being that the males use up more clothes than the female.

@Precap2: it must be important that you are up this early. The people of Wilshire Boulevard are still 3.08 am.

If you believe the Whole Bible, then please tell me Where is Yahweh, or Jehovah in Eloi lu yah? You see Eloi in there?

Then which is correct: "I and my father are one" or Jesus Your servant who You send"?

You seem to have a lot of knowledge including that of Wilshire Boulevard, but I think your clock was damaged or misread.
Please you did not reply to my comment and question above but, rather you were very tangential and diversionary and then capped it with another question of yours. Is that a way to discuss?

All doctrines are wrong-headed. That man is born with original sin means something the originators didn't intend - That sin is transmissible through blood and serum. No human is born with sin. As for children tending towards wrongdoings than the other way around, the answer is simple: Everything in nature goes wild naturally, your hair outgrows you if you fail to cut it, a beautiful flower would cease to be attractive if unattended to, your house becomes dirty and dusty if uncared for, children won't be different, they'll rot up if none takes care of their interest during the years of unreasoning.

Holla!

I didn't join this thread early but I can still say a few things that one might find useful.
Have you asked yourself " What was the dressing of the people to whom God was handing the law?". They were all wearing gown - male and female, all. (Consult Josephus History or some books on Jewish culture 3000 years ago).
Read the Leviticus very well and it won't be difficult to see why God said men and women should not exchange dressing. During the Levitical era women who were in their monthly discharge were by law not allowed into the temple (God Himself commanded thus), and after the period there would be some cleansing for them to be considered "ritually" clean to enter the temple. Have you seen this in scripture before?
Now if any man or woman by some error touch clothes worn by a woman in her monthly period, he or she is considered unclean and must be purified before he/she can enter the temple again. (This is also clearly written in Levitical ritual ordinances, just read your Bible well). At a stage men will touch their wives clothes when she's in her menses( but without the man knowing so) and still enter the temple, and to God unclean was unclean whether you knew about it or not. Then it became necessary for God to hand down the next rule in Deut 22:5. (Whether this makes sense to you or not I'm not telling cock and bull story but scriptural recordings, I'm working in the office or I would have gone to Leviticus to extract all quotes for you). In the ten commandment and all it's 613 articles of law God was developing a people for future glory.
Coming to trousers, how did we get to start wearing trousers in Africa and the people that brought it to us "do they have trousers for women?" Because if God was giving the law to them and meant that a man should not wear what is "designed" for a woman, then design should be the principle WORD there that all must beware. I want to be understood so I wont add more until this is read and I see reaction to it.

Holla!
