The United States is very funny. They do not want Mexican immigrants, yet they want their fuel at a cheaper rate. They reject thousands of other migrants but accept Ukrainians. Make this make sense!

Are you saying they should rush in more immigrants because some Americans fill their tank in Mexico? What's the relationship between immigrants and petrol?

diplomat058:
Lol. For me, he has flopped as a GOAT, not as a regular good player. That his current foam doesn't befit his GOAT status is the point here. He is still highest assister in Ligue 1 by my last reading. That is not ordinary albeit ordinary for MESSI.

Now to you, has Ronaldo flopped?

cut the long talk we both agree.

diplomat058:
Did Ibra score 91 season goals when he was 24? Did he achieve 7 Ballon doors at 33? Just pointing out the illogicality of your argument.

Even if Messi flops at this time, the law of physics supports it, considering the preponderance of accumulated energies he had deployed to the game so far

So shhhhhh

Let's just agree that Messi has flopped and move on.

yrex01:
mumu man. 3 goals and 10 assists in 19 games when he doesn't play 9 are very good stats but since it's messi they want him to have scored like 30 goals in 10 matches base on say he's doesn't bleed or sweat.

yestersay today n tomorrow he's no one mate in the game of football

If we are looking for a player to score 3 goals and 10 assists, we wouldn't call Messi. PSG did not buy Messi to score 3 goals in a league like the french league. We all expected much more from him, not 10 assists and 3 goals.

headboyprince:
no david and solomon were not prophets(pastors). they were kings and kings were allowed to marry multiple wives back then.

in the bible prophets were not allowed to marry but remain holy except God says otherwise like in the case of Hosea.

mind you, David was punished severely for commiting adultery even when he wasnt a prophet. while Solomon was punished too by God

David wrote the Psalms Solomon wrote Proverbs and Ecclesiastic. These were clearly men of God who even prophesied the coming of Jesus Christ. Solomon was one of the few men to be called a son of God in the entire bible. 2 Samuel 7:12-16.

I never said they were not punished for their sins but the idea that a man of God can't sin isnt true.

I believe Musk wants to take over the company. He knows the power of social media

I do not rejoice because this does not change anything for the Nigerian market. The price of fertilizer is about 10k this year. It's more expensive than last year when we had no fertilizer production.

This story is not well written. You claim that they had marathon sex and later you say they paid for short rest and the woman came running down minutes after. Marathon sex means they had sex for hours.

lexy2014:
Why not? Even me, I envy him. Pastors are limited to just wife so na wahala for them. Am sure Solomon had special herbs to revitalize himself or he was a fitness freak. Omo...700 wives& then 300 side chicks. The dude was an MVP.

The real OG.

lexy2014:
Solomon was the real don. He lived a FULFILLED sexual life. I guess the word "full-filled" was made for him

I guess many modern pastors would envy him. I sometimes imagine his energy level.

Saviourk:
Real men of God can't indulge in such vile practices

Were David and Solomon not real men of God? Devid slept with another man's wife and got the man killed while his son slept with almost every woman in his country.

YeyeGbami:
Bring in the wagner group. Be ready to pay dearly.

We already budget billions for security. Don't forget that it was private armies that defeated the pirates in the Somalian ocean. I would rather fund a private army that depend on our military.

1Sharon:
Okay so where are the miracles for incurable diseases?

I am not sure that even in the time of Jesus, everyone was miraculously healed. I guess only a few people received such healing. do we have people that have been healed through miracles in our time? I would say yes. Should we have a list for everyone that had been healed? It's not necessary.

1Sharon:
You do know there are.incurable diseases right? Where is God to heal them?

My point is that man today needs fewer miracles than in the time of old. I never said miracles are useless today. They still have their place and purpose but altogether, man is becoming more and more capable.

If you seek wealth, now you know where to go.

A study was carried out in the US to know How income varies among religious groups. From the study, we can see that the church you attend can affect your income. I would post the list below. It could be a guide for those who seek money and want to know the best religion to align with.

englishmart:
America is not 1/10th as powerful as they've made us believe. People who couldn't defeat ordinary Talibans in over 20-years.

The Taliban's are not ordinary, They chased the Russians away even before the Americans.

God relates with man according to time and place. Each dispensation has a special relationship with God. The primitive man needed God to heal leprosy, today leprosy as a disease is fading off the earth thanks to science.
The modern man has solved many of the problems we looked to God for miracles. Its just like a child, the more mature he gets, the less he would depend on his parents.

Revolution2022:
He scored only 2 goals in his 8years career in Chelsea.He likes passing the ball back to his defender to avoid being taken back by the opponent.

yet he is Nigeria's most successful player in the last 15. if God wants to bless you, no excuse, or weakness or even haters can stop it.

PressMyButton:
Tinubu initiated independent power plant as a Governor while Atiku was sole importer & distributor of Mikano generators after plunging the country in darkness to the tune of $16 billion.

Please tell us, how much power does Tinubu's plant produce? Or was it just another excuse to loot? The Lagos-owned power plant was built by Fashola. It's less than 9MW, making it a glorified generator. Please let's be honest, Tinubu never added 1MW to Lagos

You wanna sell your soul to the devil because you wanna leave your country.
You lack knowledge bro.
What will it Profit you to gain the whole Earth and lose your soul in Hell forever and ever

All of you trying to be more righteous than God

In the midst of Wars, Pestilences and Calamities ravaging the earth, these ones are busy approving nonsense.

If Mystery Babylon is not Destroyed, GOD ALMIGHTY will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah and those in the days of Noah ....



If Nomerica Survives God's Wrath I will throw my bible ..
America is Dead and Gone.. Nothing can save her.
The righteous in her will be Saved but America as a Nation is Gone.

The war is in Ukraine, no war is ravaging the earth. Most nations are at peace.

Well, Jesus drank vinegar and wine in the Bible. He is the wonderful counsellor and he knows more than anybody in the world.

Alcohol dependence is a form of alcohol addiction.

Imperfect humans get addicted to many things today.

The Bible is the best guide on that.

2000 years ago, it was believed that alcohol was bad only when you get drunk. Today, you and I know better. Is it wisdom to live by the health code of 2000 years ago or by the present knowledge on ground? If we claim that we would stick to the 2000 years old facts then clearly, we should use the bible as the guide when it comes to tobacco, cocaine, heroin, and other drugs. Remember, with the exception of tobacco, alcohol kills more people than all these other drugs combined.

Actually, the bible is not the best health guide. In the days of Jesus, the science on alcohol was very little. For example, the bible taught, don't get drunk but now we know that alcohol is dangerous even if we don't get drunk.
Yes, alcohol dependence is alcohol addiction, it's a disease but if we never take alcohol in the first place, we would be free from that disease. Why tempt god and expose ourselves to the disease. Anyway I guess we have both exshusted our points on the subject or do you have any new light to shed?

cornelboy:
Your small post here can't stop factories from producing alcohol and people from consuming.
The Bible only teaches that drunkenness is sin.
I like palmwine and no one can stope from drinking it.
Not everyone is a glutton and a drunkard.

You are right about my post, we really can't change the world we can only change ourselves.
And yes again I can't stop you from drinking, I can only make you aware of the damage alcohol does to your body. And if you value your body as a gift from God, it's up to you to make the hard decisions. Palmwine is more alcoholic than beer.
You don't need to be a drunk to have alcohol-induced health issues. As long as you drink, your health is at risk.
Alcohol is an irritant to all body tissue, from where it comes in to where it goes out. Alcohol does kill brain cells. Some of those cells can be regenerated over time. In the meantime, the existing nerve cells branch out to compensate for the lost functions.
Finally, you can live a happy life without alcohol. You don't need to drink to find happiness.

cornelboy:
From the Bible point of view, moderate consumption is not bad. It's not a sin.

People are addicted to many things not just alcohol.
What's your personal conclusion?

Do you drink?

The bible teaches that drunkenness is wrong, what about those that can take much alcohol without getting drunk does that make it right? It's wrong to take in poison no matter how little since we can't tell how much is exactly too much. Don't tempt the Lord your God.
From the bible's point of view, we should take good care of our bodies. if we knowingly destroy our bodies, it is a big sin. The body is not your own. So now you know that even moderate drinking can harm your body, would it be right to continue your moderate drinking?
Now to conclude... Alcoholism itself is not a sin but a disease. But then the only sure way to escape alcoholism is by never drinking in the first place so the body does not create a dependence on it.
Now drinking in itself is another thing. To anyone who knows the truth and refuses to obey, to him, it is sin. After learning that alcohol is dangerous to the body, it would be wrong to continue drinking.
Alcohol kills more people than heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl combined. It's a subtle killer.
You said people are addicted to many things; true but some drugs are known for their addictive properties. Alcohol is one such drug.
Finally, you asked if I drink. personally, I don't like discussing my personal life in public forums so forgive me if I do not answer your question. And it doesnt only kill addicts or drunks.

cornelboy:
1. Is alcoholism different from alcohol addiction?
2. What are the causes of alcoholism disease?
3. What are the symptoms?
4. Do you know the meaning of naïve? Are doctors naïve? Why do they still drink?
5. Is moderate intake of palmwine harmful to the liver?

6. What is your motive for creating this thread?
Do you wanna prove that alcoholism is a disease not sin or you wanna enlighten people to quit drinking or your catching fun as usual?

I'll give you a well balanced post about alcohol from the JW library, Enjoy Life Forever.

Too many questions here let me start from the last. You are right, I am always about fun and education. so I enlighten and have fun at the same time.
To the next question, can you define moderate drinking? Did you know that a bottle of palm wine has a higher alcoholic content than beer?
To the next question, I wasn't talking about doctors being naive. Drinking does not make one naive. Rather I was referring to the belive that because doctors drink then it must be great for their health. If you see a doctor smoking, would you conclude that smoking is great? Because I have a few doctor friends who smoke.
If you see a doctor always eating junk food would that be the excuse for eating junk? You can't be that naive to think that anything doctors do must be correct.
Now to your questions about alcoholism, I would live you with a link or two so you can read from those with more authority than myself.

About moderate drinking, let me quote from the CDC. The CDC is the biggest drug and health administrator in the US

The Guidelines note, “Emerging evidence suggests that even drinking within the recommended limits may increase the overall risk of death from various causes, such as from several types of cancer and some forms of cardiovascular disease. Alcohol has been found to increase risk for cancer, and for some types of cancer, the risk increases even at low levels of alcohol consumption (less than 1 drink in a day).”4
Although past studies have indicated that moderate alcohol consumption has protective health benefits (e.g., reducing risk of heart disease), recent studies show this may not be true.

cornelboy:
If that's it, then everyone should quit drinking.

You don't need to drink 5 bottles na like unwise people do today.

You do have to drink it everyday as well.

Doctors themselves drink alcohol.

A cup won't stress the kidney or liver.

Bro, we can't afford to be naive... We have seen many doctors commit suicide, we have seen doctors engage in unprotected sex. We know doctors who are overweight yet they refuse to excises and eat right. We know doctors who died from drug overdose. Just because your doctor does it does not make it right.
These days, you don't need to be a doctor to access the best health journals and to have the latest knowledge about alcohol.
And you are wrong, a cup would stress your liver. It most likely would not kill you but the overtime accumulation has an effect.
Also, if you have tendencies for alcoholism, a cup or two would finally get you hooked on drinking.
Alcohol is a poison. It kills 1 in every 20 people. It is more potent than war.
True I would not kill every user, but you can never say because you can't see inside your body. It's just like the game of Russian roulette. You can never tell the effect of the next bottle.

Nonexisting:
Back in the day, women around me were not harder to get but I was. Women sought me out, not just because I was fine but because I was a very faithful simp. You know when you are faithful to your girlfriend, that's when other girls will be flocking around you. I don't know how and why they do it. There were nights my babe's girlfriends passed the night at my place and did everything for me to fucck them but as simp, I didn't betray my loyalty to my girlfriend. All my faithfulness later ended in premium tears. This my story is for today's simps to learn.

Did you read the post before commenting? I think this is out of the scope of the topic.

cornelboy:
Anything we do that is harmful to us is a sin.
But consuming alcohol on a moderate level is not harmful and not a sin.
People are different from each other. Just a little intake of alcohol could cause some people health problems. It's better for them to stop.

I don't drink myself. I occasionally drink palmwine though because I like the taste.

But consuming alcohol on a moderate level is not harmful and not a sin.
Sir, you are wrong and I would give you reasons why.
1. What is your definition of moderation? How much alcohol is too much. No doctor or scientist has ever defined what moderate alcohol means.
2. Alcohol's effect is long-term so even if you drink little, it has a cumulative effect.
3. As you said, people are different and a little alcohol can cause health problems for some people; the danger is, no one knows the amount of alcohol that can cause harm to themselves. There is no instrument for measuring. So each time you take alcohol, you put your body is an unnecessary risk.
4. The health problems from alcohol have little to do with drunkenness.
