E-Hi-5

I could do with those cooks in your life

But, hey, fast food.

merahki:
He cracks me up too! Honestly

We have had some exchange in the past
I think he is funny, lol
He once posted some stuff about adding cummin to ofe akwu and I went on a preaching spree
Anyway, I looove all the food here

From someone who has never eaten noodles and hates pasta too, who haaates cooking, but finds this thread a guilty pleasure

Lol.

He's not as bad as the reactions he gets.

I'm with you on the hating cooking. Only cook when it's convenient. About pasta, it's an annoying food, but with enough oil and veggies/sauce it can get good.

Totally agree, the thread is for secret food desires. Especially the dishes from Jagugli88.

9jajoseph:
Help me ask them ooo...... As I dey read their comment, I come dey ask myself if na me dey wrong

Lol.

9jajoseph:
F99, if you are putting on White or black dress(in this case hat) would you know the difference with ur shadow reflection?

Imagine shadows telling colors. And what is shocking is the twenty or so other people who reason that way, too.

*sigh*

So much ado about nothing. The child is 3, for God's sakes. Smart and mouthy, and obviously has a good relationship with Mary. As she gets older it is left for her parents to mould her properly so that the mouthiness doesn't cross into the arena of tactlessness and rudeness. Shikena

Why is it that Nigerians think sassy, "mouthy" little humans are "intelligent"?

A child watching television and mimicking stuff off the screen does not make them intelligent.

For a start, every child is born intelligent. The only difference is the environment. And as such Nigerians ought to teach their children to be polite.

What you see nowadays is a reluctance to beat or discipline them, because everybody wants their children to think they're Bill Gates kids. You guys learned it wrong from the Westerners. They beat their kids and shut them up if they're talking crap at people. All this "I don't want to beat my little goats" is a shallow perspective from majority of the Nigerians when parenting.

You have kids who make rude remarks and their parents think, "oh, that's so cute, x/y is so intelligent, gosh!"

Well, no. Your kids are just rude and mouthy. That's all.

A funny origin if at all true.

But how did Nigerians develop a taste for it. Normally, it has been snakes. Soon, it might be roasted scorpions.

Always on the same slab

People will kill and eat newts and call them "giant monitor" lizards.

Garri eating monsters.

That's all.

All the starch in that stuff can work out the sturdiness of several clothes made of limp material.

Resilient guy, but unfortunately for Takam, his eyes were deceiving him.

This guy is funny. Why does everybody act nasty to him?

blackbriar:
YES THEY DID worship that god of fertility....and God asked them to sacrifice animals(calfs) in defiance to that same God.
the idea of worship is all forms of worship goes to God the creator of heaven and earth.
thats why the ark of the covenant(an image also) was so sacred because it represents the presence of God among the Israelites and also all forms of venerations before it brought worship to God.
Remember why micah was cursed?
God also instructed his temple to be adorned with images of palms.and he accepted all offerings from that temple(Solomons offerings).
putting up paintings of the history of christian salvation can be traced back to the early church and fathers.
WHICH WAS WHY I SAID READ UP ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SACRED ARTS.

Your first line is the end of this.

Bye.

blackbriar:
READ HISTORY OF SACRED ARTS....NNNA ISNT THAT ENOUGH ANSWER

Who commanded you to?

When the children of Israel had fallen into the worship of the golden calves, when they were asked, at least they had the integrity to point at who told them to. They didn't begin to talk about refining gold.

Who commanded you to make images of Mary and adore and worship them?

Art has been alive and well for millennia. But who told you to do that?

You point out that God commanded the Israelites to make an ark. Yet you can't back your idol worship up with Divinity.

blackbriar:
shake which foundations

is it form the fish symbol for christ or the chi-rho.
please read up the history of sacred arts.

You cannot answer the question. Simple.

All your diversions are pointless.

Who commanded you to do the sacred arts?

blackbriar:
ohhh na mary own dey bug you, the images of the apostles and saints no bug you.
please read about the history of sacred arts

You brought it up.

If you can't answer it because it will shake the foundations of your faith, don't try and divert it.

You said that the Israelites were told by God to make an ark. It's well recorded. But who commanded you to do the sacred arts and make images of Mary?

Remember the golden calf? And Jeroboam? Nobody told them to, and you can read for yourself the end results.

Sacred arts indeed.

How sacred it is for you to imagine what Jesus and Mary looked like, and fashion them in your own image and then​ adore and worship them, when you were not given the divine commandment to.

blackbriar:
you asking catholics who commanded them to adorn the church with paintings and images of the christian faith from the painting of the creation to the ressurection or the paintings of the holy family or the last supper?

Yes. Christians of old didn't do that religious display.

You live Christianity, not display it


Plus, the main issue which you've not responded to, though you brought it up, is:

As the Israelites of old were told to build an ark for God, who told the Catholics to make images of Mary?

I

blackbriar:
but same God asked for the ark of the convenant to be made and for images of palm trees to adorned the temple

Good you've observed that God himself asked them to. But who commanded the Catholics to?

DeYoungJoe:
When D israelites were dying of snake bite, God instructed Moses to make an image of snake, dat who ever looks at dat snake will no longer die of snake bite. So, u shud ask God why he ordered 4 image of snake instead of calling D name of D Lord.

But were the Catholics instructed to make images of Mary and Jesus by God as Moses was?

That was a symbolic commandment from God. Study your Bible more to see the link with That and the New testament.

chisupport:
I want to ask a question.
Most pentecostal churches are less than 200 years.
Yet the bible they claim to know too much about, is well over 1000 years and has been in use in the catholic church ever since.

My question is, who handed the bible to the penticostal churches?

Catholics say they had it longest, why then have they not read and understood everything about it? Catholics simply used their religion for politics. That's why we still hear of Eastern mysticism such as purgatory and the adoration of Mary and kissing of saints feet from them.

Where is their biblical back up, on the issue of undue worship of Mary, except one grossly misunderstood verse about Mary being called blessed among all nations? If so why do only Catholics do it? Are they the "all nations"?

Neminc:
All this your beating about the bush is not the crux of the matter. Where did the Bible tell us we should supplicate to Mary? And where did the Bible tell you she was assumed into heaven and given a throne beside his son and that we are to go to her if we want to get to her son?

You will find enlightening Catholics very difficult.

They will get aggressive and, like the account of the Ephesians in the Bible, rather than reason past their indoctrination will prefer to shout "Great is Diana of Ephesus! Great is Diana of Ephesus! Alla Akbar!"

His criminal activities are interesting because they occurred during his incarceration.

Well, if the West can't get that one right, this one will be no exception. His technique was remarkably simple, hence his success. Until he got caught. Again.

sukkot:
man is a compound word. any gender can fall under it

Not in todays world. We even want to give God a gender.

sukkot:
you rght tho. its a damn shame. not like i respect caucasians too but in the hierarchy of things a caucasian is above a lebanese and an indian. however the most superior being on this planet is a civilized polished royal spiritual dignified handsome black man

Include the black woman too or they will skin you.

sukkot:
everybody is white smh

To Nigerians even a San Bushman is " see this white..."

No wonder Indians and Lebanese punish them with bondage in the name of work, because they can see that they worship them. And they aren't even Caucasian.

bolamp:
I will not attempt to outrightly criticitize some flaws in your write up. However I will pose a question to you.
Do you honestly believe that the call to win souls for God was given to just one man that he will require a private Jet to meet the enormous task?

We wonder.

How can they believe that anybody uses a private jet to meet the needs of all the Christians worldwide? Only one person?

A private jet is simply a status symbol, because how many times have you seen these people preaching all over the world in the manner their followers profess them to? You always see a programme of a few days, just like a person vacations for a week. Why then do they need a private jet? How many of such engagements can they possibly get on a daily basis?

Before, as small time preachers, don't these individuals used to get on commercial flights and still preach?

Anybody supporting a person who has a main church they preach at, claiming to travel the world more than businessmen or delegates, when in reality they preach mostly from their own pulpit is simply a worshipper of man.

There's nothing wrong with a private jet, but not these lousy stories from their followers.

DozieInc:
He deserves one, for the purpose of a global outreach.

How many times does he preach from outside Nigeria? It's not like every pastor relinquishes their stage for him everyday such that he travels every 3 hours to a new destination. How many places could he possibly preach? All over the world?

No pastor really makes use of a private jet the way you people claim they do.

EMEKA1MILLION:
don't criticize what you don't understand. Can your offering of one year buy a bag of rice? If No! Den I have nothing to tell you.

He has never been the central figure of the church! God uses him to do his work so he deserves the plaudits coming his way.

Don't the tithes come from hundreds if not thousands of followers? Who said it's from one person?The grants received? Why do you make it seem like it's all the man's personal money.

What are his business investments and holdings which he began with his own earned money (not the flocks tithes and donations)?


You don't want people to judge the man, but you're judging this guy that his salary isn't enough to buy a bag of rice. How do you know this?

Hypocrisy and human worship.

DozieInc:
Following.
Emeka1million am with you on this.

1.) David Ibiyeomie has given over 200million in scholarships.

2.) Trained more than 3,000 people in various skill acquisitions through the DIF ( David Ibiyeomie Foundation )

3.)The WF ( Widows Forum) carters for the needs of widows through cash gifts, distribution of foodstuffs, sponsoring their children in various fields of training etc
4.)Donation of medical equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the UPTH.

5.)Building of schools and renovation of existing ones e.g In Plateau state and renovation of schools in Rivers state and neighbouring states

6.)Donation of relief materials to victims of natural disaster e.g The Benue flood victims, Bayelsa flood victims etc.

7.) Construction of community roads in Rivers state

8.) Donation of materials to inmates of the Port Harcourt prisons and ensuring the release of some.

Was it his private money he used in all these? You've seen his bank statements?

Because of the above you enumerated, he deserves a private jet? Just say he has one because he can afford one and stop all the lists.

Vivere:
You are right. The same way they do not allow moderate Muslims to breathe and hold their own opinions. I remember my cousin's school called St. Paul's College. One day the Muslim students woke up and decided they wanted to be wearing hijab, on top of their school uniforms. The principal just wrote to their parents to find another school for them.

I've seen them steal items and place them under those things.

They always want to cause problems by forcing themselves to be the exception. When in Rome do as the Romans do, or go back to an Egyptian sarcophagus. That way they can stay as wrapped up as they please.

Omofunaab2:
The issue is not about the Niqab being banned or not. But the fact that it was tagged lousy and immoral.

It's an insult to all those mothers wearing Niqob because an institution regard Niqob as indecent dressing

Wearing of Niqob is not immoral but should not be permitted in school.. muslim sisters should wait till they leave the school... I personally don't like the idea of wearing Niqob in school, it will be better if they stick with Hijab

It would have been better had it been the school management used the word " Not permitted"

If they put up a billboard saying the nuqab was "not permitted" these same people will say that the school board is against their religion. The same way they go to a Christian school and cause national uproar when they are told to dress like the Christians in the school.

It happens all over the world. You people are not tolerant. Once given rules, you will expect to be the exception and breathe through your eyes.
