jodeer: which 1 b gnostic gospel again, i tink say na only 4 gospels we get. So bible neva do u don de bring wetin we no know wan konfuse us ba.... END TYM TINZZZ OOO

There are many other Gospels than the 4 in the bible. they were rejected and banned by the early church because they were written from a different perspective eg - Christ did not die to save you but he came to point the way to the Father ; there was a female apostle/disciple, Mary Magdalene who was a bit more intelligent than the other 12 male disciples; that the God of the Old Testament is different from the true God of the NT whom Christ came to reveal. While the God of the OT created the physical imperfect universe the father of Christ is the true God who created the visible and the invisible realms including the God of the OT. YWH of the OT is full of tendency to anger, jealousy, meting out heavy punishment to sinners and who emphases survival of the fittest. Mind you he is not evil or the devil but too dictatorial. In contrast to the Father who is peaceful, forgiving, believes in the equality of all humankind, encouraging free will, non punitive, nameless, incorruptible, limitless and gives freely and encourages self learning.

onoja12: it appears u are not married and may never be,secondly u are the one trying to turn the bible around to suit ur stupidity,infact women who have been foolish enough to believe people like u,have leaved to regret it.for the fact u cant keep a man don't justify it with feminism,the bible is very clear on the role and position of a woman,no manipulation can change it

The same bible was written by men for their own ego

hotwax: Its not about ego. Its natural. Men are born to rule women.

Mens domination is natural and there is nothing somebody like you can do it.

Have you seen the way Male Lions swags around female Lions.

Cocks superiority over hens.

Animals dont read the bible, yet, they act the way Men act.

Its God's work. You can't come here and reverse-quote bible to convince us.

You cannot walk with your head. you work with your legs. these are basic principles of life. You need no bible to tell you to walk with your abdomen.

Oh I see! So you proposing men should behave like animals? Do you know that the lion kills all the cubs from a previous relationship of a lioness so he can bring the female to heat again?

trolling: and what if i told you it was all in the plan now let me show you nairalanders some mysteries Adam was appointed to "death" so that second Adam will redeem man from death,it wasnt because he was weak or nothing,if he was weak he would have obeyed and been influenced by Satan,like Solomon said no man has the power to retain the spirit , neither those given to death.....YHWH is Boss, He does whatever He likes with his vessels

But Adam being a divine creature can make a choice to seek knowledge, and this displeased YHWH. He prefers man intellectually blind and naked. And Adam and Eve said No. They have a right to knowledge. This was why the snake helped mankind by telling the truth to Eve. Remember the snake is the symbol of wisdom and medical practice.

Show me where in genesis was it written that snake was satan?

Bia! This guy,amarodim na i ma Akwukwo-Nso etua! This is a perfect bull's eye to that devil-inspired op. Yes o! That's the kind of deception that satan used to deceive eve. And that's why the Holy Ghost through Apostle Paul gave those express commands. He even put a disclaimer in Gal 1:8,that if any man or angel preaches any gospel other than what he handed down,let that person be accursed. I hear some folks,bandying gnostic gospel here and I smh. Gnostic are cults,naw. Anyway,kudos for your response. You've earned a LARGE slice of my respect.

It is a sign of weakness to claim superiority over your mate who was created to complement your efforts. You also may claim superiority over your mother as well. The only basis for men claiming superiority over women is simply bigger and more physical strength and an inferiority complex. when you base your superiority on the physical you denounce divinity in you. Finish. Paul was an unmarried Jew who knew little more than the Jewish attitude towards women. That is why church talks about father, son, Holy Spirit . Where is the mother? But Gnostics say father, mother and and the child of humankind. The divine mind does not say women are less than men.

esbjay@gmail.co:
honestly, u are the biggest fool I ever come across in life. go back to ur Bible and read it well, and check What God told Eve after she ate n also persuade her husband to eat the forbidden fruit. God told her that she will look up to her husband for everything. go n continue the remaining story in ur Bible.

God lost his temper because Eve helped Adam out of ignorance and immaturity. Without Eve encouraging adam to eat the fruit mankind would have remained a naked ape for ever!

carr101: Thanks for this

You may read more about the truth about women's position in the eyes of true Christians like the gnostics by reading the gospel of Mary. Pistis Sophia and the Gospel of Thomas. They are all free in the Internet. Indeed Sophia which means wisdom is the mother of the physical universe as she gave birth to the demiurge who created the physical world with the power he derived from his mother. Sophia is a close associate of Christ.

Indeed more than enough evidence in the bible to support the fact that mainstream Christianity underrate women. However gnostic Christianity has revealed that men and women equally have the divine spark of God and are mates that the creation of eve helped to awake Adam from the daze of ignorance and forgetfulness.

In gnostic writings eg Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary and the secret book of John. In them Peter representing mainstream Christianity has always put Mary down. The gnostics revealed Mary was one of the disciples of Christ ie Mary Magdalene, she received some inner spiritual information the other disciples did not get. Her responses to questions and comments in teaching sessions with christ were superior to the other disciples and that's why christ loved her more. Just like some ladies did better than some men in university classes.

Furthermore Eve helped Adam to receive the power of knowing good and evil by accepting the snake's advice in genesis. Without eating this fruit man would have remained a Unclad ape with no technology as intended by The Lord.. Even the Lord god knew his game was up when he said ''behold man has become like one of us knowing good and evil'. In anger he cursed the couple, the snake and the earth and prevented man from reaching the tree of life. But thanks to wisdom, man had coped well over the centuries and getting more knowledge of good and evil ie science, democracy, justice and good will.

Okija_juju: Whats a lie about this?!

According to Apostle Paul..


I Cor. 11 – 8 “A Man is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ is God.”

_Refer...








And whats a Lie about this?!

Titus 2:5
English Standard Version (ESV)

5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.




Okay... So are you calling brother Timothy a Lair?!

1 Timothy 2:12 ESV
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.





1 Cor. 11:7-10

"For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9 for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake. 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."


1 Corinthians 11:3
3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.





Ephesians 5:23

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.






5 For this reason I left you in aCrete, that you would set in order what remains and bappoint celders in every city as I directed you,

6 namely, aif any man is above reproach, the bhusband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of cdissipation or drebellion.

7 For the 1aoverseer must be above reproach as bGod’s steward, not cself-willed, not quick-tempered, not daddicted to wine, not pugnacious, enot fond of sordid gain,

Acts 2:17

17 ‘aAnd it shall be in the last days,’ God says,

‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all 1mankind;

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

And your young men shall see visions,

And your old men shall dream dreams;








1 Tim. 2:12-14

"But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression."






2 Corinthians 11:3

3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.









Erm... DUH!!

Shey na the strong Leadership qualities of Jezebel make her go barb Samsom head from Dada to mohawk!




Summary:: The Bible has nothing to do with new millenium or Y2k compliance.. You either obey the word of God or you become an unbeliever.. You women should simply obey the bible and be submissive.. Its this type of behavior that landed Mankind in the problems we are suffering today. You women have started again. Why wouldnt you learn from your ancestors Eve & Jezebel..

Any Woman who isnt submissive to a Man would go to hell.. #Period

eldoradoxx: It is very unsavoury of you to have made such irritating comment on people who are sick. It is wicked and insensitive of you to do this. Atleast 1 or two persons reading your comments must have lost or nursing a cancer patient and its unfair for you to write that. Moderator pls remove this rubbish.

Supported. He had shown the animal nature that is in him. No empathy and completely insensitive and immature. He derails the thread to express his sarcasm for the sick. The issue is about a young breast cancer survivor who had mastectomy to save herself from death. Otherwise healthy. The question was would u accept her for marriage despite the mastectom?. An implant as a breast prosthesis had been provided for her.

I think if the relationship was strong before the disease came up, , i would stand by her and be so overwhelmed by the fact that she survived the cancer with just mastectomy. I would still marry her if she made a full recovery. The girl had been saved from death.

Would you abandon a good friend or sibling in a similar situation?

I am not the emotional type but i know that from my experience, Love is a manifestation of a higher level of friendship.

canalily: then y is it that there is no love when the money is nt there?

...because love is like butter, it goes well with bread.

James Blunt - Good bye my Lover

Lyrics are so heart -touching. Here they are:

Good bye my lover, good bye my friend
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

KDULAR: Kings are appointed by God , let us cut the crap, there's a Spiritual reason we have languages people kingdoms and kings and we need to respect and regard that what these kings do is immaterial God is God and he rules over the affairs of men. Seek of God the reason(s )and you'll there and then realize the insubordination and sin we've committed against God and His works in the name of religion. To me the Pope being spiritual understands more and only him could best say the reason he did that and this is somethong we all I mean all need to learn from. Mind you I Am not Of Catholic religion.

Christ the king of kings washed the disciples feet. Give ceasar things to ceasar!

taiocol: but why will a man. Pope in that matter bow 2 a woman

Because she is a queen equivalent of a king, oba, Alafin, igwe emir or what you call it. In fact if a king and queen meet, royal courtesy demand that the king bows to the queen.

Now you know!!

Palm oil, rubber, groundnuts, cocoa, pepper

A-town:
You got jokes. During my days, no one scored anything close to 300. I wrote jamb twice. Once in ss2 and once in ss3. Jamb didn't show me. My score wasn't super high but was enough to gain admission for medicine/engr without connections. The kid may be smart but then again SAT only tests your verbal and quantitative reasoning. There are a bunch of African kids that will score close to what this kid had in SAT. Unless he took the subject test SAT, I won't give it much weight. I aint trying to shit on the child, i'm just saying. The kid is smart, YES, I just needed to point out that SAT does not measure nada

SAT sounds more like an intelligence test rather than test of your knowledge of subjects which jamb does. I think an SAT -like test is better since you still need NECO for your subjects needed for your course in the Uni.

koladebrainiac: am sure its not his dad thats pushing hard . another bad side is his ability to handle reality . people like him end up turning a sadistic and making society wish he never exist. another is having brain tumor and later in life develop amnesia . please,don't hate me,am only exploring the negative side of this good news. its good thing ,but sometimes,guy be grateful that you are retarded,you may pass 102 years un noticed rather than 45 years and scandalized . sarcasm.lol

Why the bad belle? The post was about a brilliant young boy, a genius, and you believe he may die young. How old was Albert Einstein when he passed on?

$pecial:
Err1 kips sayn d eyes, v U thought of breathing?? Or U intend to use ur eyes wyl U r on life support or probably breathe wif ur mouth for d whole years U wud spend on earth . anyways personally I'd go for ma nose. Jus finkin outsyd d box

Pls breathing is not a sensory function. Remember your biology classes? There are five senses. Viz:

- sight
- hearing
-taste
- touch/pain
-smell.

I think the question posed by the OP is a hard one indeed. You cannot survive with one sense only. Rather ask apart from smell, what other two senses can you afford to lose? I would say taste and touch.

What say you?

Baybe: Why do people like reading stupid meanings into something very simple? The Pope is not in any way saying that homosexuality is right or something. He only said that he can't judge them, that is what the Bible says anyway. He said he is willing to accept them if they repent and seek the goodwill of God. Nobody is free of sin. Only he that is free of sin should jugde people and IMO that person is God and not all these Nairaland hypocrites that'll sleep with all the love peddlers around and still be the first to condemn gays like homosexuality is now a bigger sin than fornication. Sleeping with your boyfriend/girlfriend not your husband/wife is a sin as homosexuality is a sin. No sin is bigger than the other. Remember Mary Magdalene? She was a prostitute! She is chilling in heaven now. Remember the adulterous woman? Remember what Jesus said? 'Let he that is without sin cast the first stone'. Remember what Jesus said to the Pharisees when they said He was dining with sinners? Jesus came for the sinners. Condemn the sin not the sinner! that is what the Pope said!

He ought to have made it clear that the catholic church does bot see homosexuality as a grievous sin anymore and that gays may even become priests.

By saying gays should not be discriminated against, does Pope Francis mean that he would ordain a gay to be a priest? Would he officiate gay marriage?

What greater role can women play in the catholic church;? Pope Francis talks with tongue in cheek like any bloody politician. Who is fooling who?

Recently -23 July 2013, minister of power, prof Nebo stated nigerians now enjoy 16 hours of electricity per day.

Please let us know if you are enjoying this level of power supply

-state the town/city and State you live
-how many hours of electricity do you get per day on the average for the past 4 weeks?
- has a transformer being stolen recently in your area, in the last three months?
- what alternative power source do you use?

Try some nicotine patches and gradually reduce the strength of the patches

Ugly looking dishes!! Some taste good though.

Van snickers: Then such a person serves god out of fear of Hell. Is that what your god wants? For humans to fear him and serve him just because we don't want to go to hell.

Because the God of the Old Testament is a jealous God, prone to anger and irrational behaviours, mass murder and unable to prevent man from gaming knowledge of good and evil and independent clear thinking. He is also anxious to prevent man from finding the tree of life and live for ever.

Read the first two chapters of genesis well. Were it not for the snake man would have remained a naked ape-like creature till date.

coastal queen: And how dO you know that everyone in NASA is an Atheist? Quit assuming there's no God,You need to apply at least Pascal's theory to ur life, what do u get in the end if you live like there's no God and later realize there's God? Great loss,which is ofcourse hell. Albeit if you live like there's God and in the end find out there isn't God what do you lose? Nothing.

God is not bothered about how you live your life. If you believe life is a gift, then why bother how the person uses the gift? The material world was made to reward efficient energy seekers and punish the inefficient energy seekers on earth. We lose sight of the greater life principles because we measure the creator of the universe in human terms. Do we ever bother about what happens to the ants in the world, how they steal food from each other. It's just survival strategies. If you are inefficient you get punished by the beings, circumstances, natural or artificial disasters. The God of the material universe cannot change these rules as he is unable to do so, being an imperfect universe.

kj_hova: This images from Saturn sends ideas raging in my cranium.
Regular inter planetary travel is very likely within the next 50 to 100 years. The 3 main challenges to surmount are;
Fuel - Nuclear fission has already been used to more than half the time required for Curiosity to travel to Mars. further development in this area or maybe a whole new discovery could considerably reduce travel time across our solar system.
Toxic atmosphere of space - Following the example of a permanently inhabited International Space Station orbiting around Earth, it is technically possible to install inhabited stations or bases on every planet in our system. We only need to solve the small matter of oxygen supply, artificial gravity, communication with Earth and a bit more.
Cost/benefits: - Vast deposits of oils, minerals, metals, rocks & gases exists in many parts of our solar system. Soon very soon, a new space age set of explorers in the order of Mungo park, Marco Polo, Cecil Rhodes et al will march into these frontiers to create commercial activity around these resources. Then shall man become an inter-planetary being at least, if not yet inter-stellar!

Great! Lets start with lunar(moon) tourism first. This is less than four days journey before we think of interplanetary tourism.

gbadexy: What strike ♍ƺ is the white luminous color of the earth and slightly duller color of the moon both reflecting the sun.
So how planet would look like a dot of star amongst countless stars when looked from just another planet.
Who really knows how many of the dots are stars and how many are huge not so far planets.

A telescope and a star atlas will help you know which dot is a star or planet. Planets also change position in the sky as they revolve round the sun, while stars are more relatively fixed.

ehizo25: Pics like this make me think of how insignificant man is in God's eyes. Indeed what is man that God should think of him. Yet no matter how tiny all mankind put together is, God still loves us and takes care of us. I am indeed humbled when I think of God's greatness.

Yes! And do you know that the God that created the material universe and us and all matter is a subordinate deity to the Father of Jesus Christ, who is unnameable, immeasurable, incorruptible who manifested the greater spiritual worlds and the deity who created the material universe?

Heatblast: reminds me of this pic taken by the voyager 1

Amazing!!
