Have You Ever Been To The North?

I've never been to the north. But most info were gotten from the Internet and relating with northerners in the south.

If No. Give us a textual view of the north according to your own cognizance.

One thing I know is that we are all Nigerians and we all have our anomalies likewise our good side. There certainly are good people over there as much as bad people which is the same case in every region of the country. However, the main anomaly i know that is peculiar to the north is the level of illiteracy which is way beyond those in other regions. And in turn the more reason why things seem backward over there. Every other anomalies that people might point out there is also peculiar to the other regions.

What do you think about this?

If Yes. State your perception about the north before and after your pop in. (visit)

Actually I've never been there but I've had a preamble of the possible way things might seem over there. We have northern settlement here, even though their lifestyle is mixing more with those of us here and so i can't base my perception of the north on them. Even the newcomers gets mocked by those that were born and bred here — atimes you see them calling them "dan kauye" lol. However with the available info on the Internet and on daily newspaper, i think everyone can have first hand information of how the north looks and how things are being done over there.

The place make sense o!

Erhm!! Really??

Too bad some people take delight in making other people cry while they laugh. Everything was peaceful before boko haram started their madness. And no thanks to the ineptitude government of GEJ that took them with kids glove when he should've crushed them before becoming the monster they became today.

I pray we regain our sanity. may God be with the IDP and may he restore peace to the country in general.

Sarassin:
hehehe .....Oh yes, it is also the case that the most potent name of God to invoke for meditative practice or trance is of course Allah, it is the most rythmic and Gnosis inducing appellation of the supreme Divine being. But I bet you already knew that.

Yessir. However bro, I really envy your your philosophy of life. I wish i could understand as much as you do. Perhaps I will like to know you better.

The end was funny. He said 'is that my video you are taking?'. They replied 'it is audio' He said 'no no no no you better erase it [from the device]".

Rilwayne001,

[url=christianitybeliefs.org/islam-in-bible-prophecy/islam-and-roman-catholicism-similarities/]Here are some similarities between Islam and Roman Catholicism.[/url]
Read and think.

These are just similarities and nothing shows what you are saying.

Then do more research on the topic "The Catholic church created Islam".

I thought you've done the research before asking me to do? Kindly create a thread to enlighten on how they created Islam. After all when you want to preach Jesus you don't ask people to make their research.

DoctorAlien:
Rilwayne001,

Come and refute the points given in the article.

Read my reply on the other thread.

DoctorAlien:
What gullibility is more terrible than being a muslim? Who is more gullible? The Christian or the muslim who fights against the belief(in the resurrection of Christ) of the Catholic church which founded Islam in a bid to achieve their selfish and evil aims?
Have you ever wondered why Islam and Roman Catholicism have too many similarities? Have you ever paused to think?

We are not here to talk about how Catholics created islam; don't derail the purpose of the thread. We are here to analyze the crucifixion and resurrection claim as indicated in the topic of the thread. So it would do good if you can provide counter arguments to the points I've been raising so far, trust me i might change my views if they are convincing enough.

And you doctoralien, i remember this thread where you claimed to be providing absolute prove for the resurrection of Jesus, i hope you will be using those prove to disprove the points being raised on this thread.

And as per Catholics creating Islam; that's a topic that really interests me. Kindly create a thread and tell us how they actually did.

Thank you in advance .

It's saying Ozil to bleep off.
A statement of intent.
He can replace either Ozil or Cazorla.
But I doubt if Wenger will sign a 29yo. (

Who else thinks Arsenal should go for Payet? We need a skillful player like him in the midfield.

Demmzy15:
Rilwayne0.01, pity this guys na. It's harmattan o!

I pity them that's why i wanted them to see the lie they've been indoctrinated with. This thread will be a pain in their neck until they prove historically the crucifixtion and resurrection lie.

Scholars have long recognized that Luke himself wrote these speeches—they are not the speeches that these apostles really delivered at one time or another. Luke is writing decades after the events he narrates, and no one at the time was taking notes. Ancient historians as a whole made up the speeches of their main characters, as such a stalwart historian as the Greek Thucydides explicidy tells us (Peloponnesian War 1.22.1-2). They had little choice.

When Luke composed his speeches, however, it appears that he did so, in part, on the basis of earlier sources that had come down to him—just as his accounts of Jesus’s teachings in the Gospel came from earlier sources (such as Mark). But if different traditions (speeches, for example) come from different sources, there is no guarantee that they will stand in complete harmony with one another. If they do not stand in harmony, it is almost always because someone is changing the stories or making something up.

That makes Paul’s speech in Acts 13 very interesting Paul is speaking in a synagogue service in Antioch of Pisidia, and he uses the occasion to tell the congregation that the Jewish leaders in [b] Jerusalem had sinned severely against God by having Jesus killed: “Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb” (Acts 13:28-29).

This may appear to harmonize generally with what the Gospels say about Jesus’s death and burial —in that he died and was buried—but here it is not a single member of the Sanhedrin who buries Jesus, but the council as a whole. This is a different tradition. There is no word of Joseph here, any more than there is in Paul’s letters. Does this pre-Lukan tradition represent an older tradition than what is found in Mark about Joseph of Arimathea? Is the oldest surviving burial tradition one that says Jesus was buried by a group of Jews?

Rilwayne001:
But was there one? Did Joseph of Arimathea really bury Jesus?

^^
General Consideration

There are numerous reasons for doubting the tradition of Jesus’s burial by Joseph. For one thing, it is hard to make historical sense of this tradition just within the context of Mark’s narrative.

Joseph’s identification as a respected member of the Sanhedrin should immediately raise questions. Mark himself said that at Jesus’s trial, which took place the previous evening, the “whole council” of the Sanhedrin (not just some or most of them—but all of them) tried to find evidence “against Jesus to put him to death” (14:55). At the end of this trial, because of Jesus’s statement that he was the Son of God (14:62), “they all condemned him as deserving death” (14:64). In other words, according to Mark, this unknown person, Joseph, was one of the people who had called for Jesus’s death just the night before he was crucified. Why, after Jesus is dead, is he suddenly risking himself (as implied by the fact that he had to gather up his courage) and seeking to do an act of mercy by arranging for a decent burial for Jesus’s corpse? Mark gives us no clue. My hunch is that the trial narrative and the burial narrative come from different sets of traditions inherited by Mark. Or did Mark simply invent one of the two traditions himself and overlook the apparent discrepancy?

In any event, a burial by Joseph is clearly a historical problem in light of other passages just within the New Testament. I pointed out earlier that Paul shows no evidence of knowing anything about a Joseph of Arimathea or Jesus’s burial by a “respected member of the council.” This datum was not included in the very early creed that Paul quotes in 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, and if the author of that creed had known such a thing, he surely would have included it, since without naming the person who buried Jesus, as we have seen, he created an imbalance with the second portion of the creed where he does name the person to whom Jesus appeared (Cephas). Thus, this early creed knows nothing about Joseph. And Paul also betrays no knowledge of him.

Moreover, another tradition of Jesus’s burial says nothing about Joseph of Arimathea. As I pointed out earlier, the book of Acts was written by the same person who wrote the Gospel of Luke. When writing Luke, this unknown author (we obviously call him Luke, but we don’t know who he really was) used a number of earlier written and oral sources for his stories, as he himself indicates. Scholars today are convinced that one of his sources was the Gospel of Mark, and so Luke includes the story of Joseph of Arimathea in his version of Jesus’s death and resurrection. When Luke wrote his second volume, the book of Acts, he had yet other sources available to him. Acts is not about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus but about the spread of the Christian church throughout the Roman empire afterward. About one- fourth of the book of Acts consists of speeches made by its main characters, mainly Peter and Paul—speeches, for example, to convert people to believe in Jesus or to instruct those who already believe.

Good.. Very good.

Hell rufai has been put to shame.

Third, my point is Aleppo SHOULDNT just be considered as just a Muslim problem, in the Muslim thread! As humans, Aleppo is all of our business! Why cause division? Why make it a Muslim problem? Are they not humans? Oh,they are just muslims but not humans?!
.

This is what Seun has turned things to. I don't know his problem.

And the bad news continues

What's the world turning to?

tintingz:
I will start following this series.

I'm sure you going to like it.

NaijaTalkTown:
May Allah bless you abundantly for this my brother. When muslims like myself try to speak out, we are tagged as non-muslims or "indomie muslims" simply because we do not belong to any sector. We are simply muslims! Why are these people not concerned about Raqqa, Mosul, Kashmir, and even Yemen? Why were they silent all this while? Why are they praying for Muslims in Alleppo now that the region has been liberated? Are they praying for the Muslims or they terrorists who tarnish the image of other Muslims (if not all Muslims)? These hypocrites are the real terrorists and they know it!

Spot on.

Its so disheartening to see what's happening in Aleppo. I hope the good arrives very soon . My thoughts and prayers are with the affected ones.

Now killing time with this series.

Anas09:
I didn't read. Go back to the cave Seun calved out for you.

You want relevance? You are not getting any.

You didn't read because you can't comprehend. Insult is what you know best to do and nothing intelligent whatsoever.

And FYI, here is an extension of what Seun calved for us and even not you. Christians have always been claiming Christianity is not a religion, then what are you guys doing in the religion section?

annunaki2:
I am really so excited that the evils of Islam are being exposed at a phenomenal rate, thank God for the Internet, very soon there will be no more hiding place for their satanic religion.

May God cure you of your ailment

There's been more bad news these days than good ones.

Lord have mercy.

solomonbrown64:
......... Sometimes I wonder why I even get surprised at what we play during big games. Apart from the Chelsea before they became the beast they now are, how many big games have we dominated this season?

.... Psg out played and completely dominated us from beginning to end in both legs, United we all troll decimated us and if it wasn't for their inability to find the net, we wouldn't even be talking about a draw now. Mancity with a second team taught us how to play football yesterday and should we meet the current Chelsea side again, some of us might deactivate our accounts after the score line...... Yes, we are that pathetic.

... No drive, no hunger except from Sanchez and it was obvious yesterday that only him cannot do it all. Kosciency the acclaimed best is plain average without Per or Mustafi as he seems unable to organize his defense. I don't even want to talk about Cech or our awful midfield devoid of life or creativity. Coquelin has no clue on what to do with the ball, just runs all around non-stop getting cards while Xhaka seems incapable of using his legs and yet we mock Pogba who is ten times better than all of our midfielders.

...... Perez has shown time and again what he can do and instead of Wenger to form a partnership with him and Sanchez, he leaves him to rot on the bench, same thing he did to Campbell and Podoski.
...
.... The old man keeps blaming the refs like it is their fault his team keeps getting outplayed in every big match. Is it the ref's fault that he keeps failing to change tactics if the current one employed isn't working? Look at what Pep did after half time and the instant changes that occurred but Wenger would never do that, he prefers to converse with the fourth ref..

....... If the old man has any legacy left he should just leave after this season because the lady-like mentality he has installed in every player since the move to the Emirates is one of main reasons we can't dominate big games. I hear we are getting Simeone as he has been learning how to speak English for the last two years. His change this season from negative football to a more passing one says it all, he might just be heading to the Emirates. Wenger should join the board or lead the Charity club, he is no longer needed.

Wow! This is well spelt out.

Stalwert:
I think you should be ashamed of yourself sir. If you are seeking something from the op it shouldn't robbed you of decency to the extent you will repeat the same condescending insults contained in the op to me. If you have the capacity to read you will see that it is the claim of the op which is being called to question, a lie which he intends to belittle Muslims rather than get some sensible point everyone who has responded sees that but you who should know better acquiesce to such condescension.

Sorry, if my question had tickled a wrong place in you.

Stalwert:
You deserve no answer until you show where Allah was depicted and Muslims laid back.

So in aphorisms, you support killing those who depict the prophet in form of cartoon??
