Divepen: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MODERN CHRISTAIN LADIES AND MODERN PROSTITUTES. ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR DRESSING AND BEHAVIOUR
EVEN HARLOTS ARE WELL BEHAVED

I find this interesting. I have friends here in America and in Nigeria who sleep with there bf and claim to be "good" Christians, when sex before marriage is clearly defined as sin. There are those who do everything except penetration, and think because they are still virgins it's okay. Is it ok in the eyes of God?

logicboy01: Be very careful with Uyi.

Why?

logicboy01: Stop being a white knight.

Leave him alone.

Iredia, don't listen to these "nay sayerz". You don't owe them any explanations. Proof Smoof! That's all they do all day is cry "prove it!" What you choose to believe or not to believe is your business. They can "park well jor!"

1miccza: My brain has simply refused to decode anything meennn

First, I have to say, "Why do I get involed in religious discussions/debates?" I hate them. I just want to believe what I believe and be left alone, but here I go again. Every time I say I will stay out of the religion section I get pulled back in by something I find interesting. SMH


The word “adoption” is used throughout the Scriptures to describe the relationship between God and His children.


Many Christians believe that they are God’s sons by adoption. But does the Bible really say that?


Where did the word “Adoption” come from? It was translated from the Greek word huiothesia. Huiothesia is a combination of two words. Those words are huios (“son, child, descendant”) and tithemi (“to place, put; to set, appoint, decided, arrange”). Huiothesia may mean "sonship" or "adoption".


To be honest, I don't care who believes what. I only care that "you/we" are strong enough to search, ponder and pray about what we believe and not just take everything we hear to be gospel without a thought.


Many words in the Bible have been translated incorrectly. Who's to say which words are correct and which are not? Which parts are allegory and which parts are to be taken literally?


One group says "this". Another group says "that". All say they have the "truth". In the end we must search, ponder and pray. Never just believe whatever is taught. I believe what I believe. You believe what you will. I'm good with that.



I was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many say Mormon. Some say LDS.

Throughout my childhood and young adulthood, I was a staunch believer in LDS teachings. I'm not sure I still believe all I was taught growing up, but there are many teaching my heart still clings to. I do know for sure that I believe this statement made by Robert L. Millet, former dean of religious education at Brigham Young University.



"Latter-day Saints do not believe that the answer to the world’s problems is ultimately to be found in more extravagant social programs or stronger legislation. Most or all of these ills have moral or spiritual roots. In the spirit of the brotherhood and sisterhood of humankind, is it not possible to lay aside theological differences long enough to address the staggering social issues in our troubled world? My recent interactions with men and women of various faiths have had a profound impact on me; they have broadened my horizons dramatically and reminded me — a sobering reminder we all need once in a while — that we are all sons and daughters of the same Eternal Father. We may never resolve our differences on the Godhead or the Trinity, on the spiritual or corporeal nature of Deity or on the sufficiency or inerrancy of the Bible, but we can agree that there is a God; that the ultimate transformation of society will come only through the application of moral and religious solutions to pressing issues; and that the regeneration of individual hearts and souls is foundational to the restoration of virtue in our communities and nations. One need not surrender cherished religious values or doctrines in order to be a better neighbor, a more caring citizen, a more involved municipal."

With this post, I'm done. I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll get drawn in again, but still, I tire O.

Have you ever left a pet at a kennel or with friends or family, and something happened to it?


The incident happened in June of this year. In September an Arizona Sheriff called for felony charges to be filed.


The dogs were "overheated and unresponsive" when the workers found them "in the portion of the house where the dogs were being boarded," Hegstrom said. They took the dogs out back and tried to cool them off by spraying them with water, but they later died.

Hegstrom said the workers called the business owners, who returned from Florida on Friday night, and started calling dog owners Saturday morning. After the dogs died, the bodies were piled up inside a shed, he said.

"Sheriff: Story "seems unreasonable"

Sheriff Arpaio said that his office is investigating and that parts of Hughes' story seems suspicious. "It seems unreasonable that dogs could be healthy at 11 p.m. at night and dead by 5:30 a.m. the next morning as the owners suggest," he said.

A veterinarian he conferred with has corroborated his doubts, Arpaio said.

Deputies arrived to find some of the dogs' owners at Green Acres. A couple cried and hugged, as deputies used a wheel barrow to cart off dogs' carcasses wrapped in cloth.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - An Arizona sheriff on Tuesday called for felony animal cruelty charges against the owners of a kennel who he said left 21 dogs to die of suffocation and overheating while they were in Florida.

"The key issue here is the failure to provide food and water, and shelter. That's what we're basing the felony charges on," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told a news conference, adding that the dogs were confined to a very small room.

He said an investigation into the incident in June had been completed, and that 21 felony charges and other misdemeanors are being sought each against kennel owners Todd and Maleisia Hughes, and caretakers Austin and Logan Flake.


More:

Maricopa County sheriff's detectives picked apart the Green Acre Boarding Kennel when they served a search warrant at the Gilbert-area facility last week, seizing parts of an air-conditioning system to determine whether its failure led to the deaths of 21 dogs, according to court documents released Wednesday.

An affidavit for a search warrant tells the story of one dog owner after another dropping off their pets in good faith and being told the animals would be cared for like a family pet, even sleeping with the owners' children.

None of the pet owners said they were told that 21 dogs would be held in a 9-by 12-foot room.

Read between the lines

all4naija: Believe it or not, I am not that a bookworm, most especially, reading novels. I think those kind of books turn me off. I enjoy science books that deal on nature and its enbodiments. I have tried my hands on some romantic novels only to end up reading half way without having idea about them.

I'm interested.

1miccza: Thanks for remembering me but what's next after the tag

The ^^^ points to the questions.

Ishilove: Errr, okay I've been tagged. What next?

The ^^^ points to the questions.

Dygeasy: He has to take charge of his home. Let her know. Yell, Scream, do whatever it takes to get it into her skull that the marriage is not about just her.

Or divorce her.

Some men dey try sha

They definitely need to have a conversation, and come to an understanding. Yelling and screaming will not work with this lady. Obviously she is in charge in this relationship. This guy brought this on himself.

At this point, the only advice I have is DON'T BRING CHILDREN INTO THIS MESS! If they end up divorced, that won't be good for any children. If they stay together and don't fix this it's not fair to bring innocent children into it too.

I've been reading the comments on this thread. I can't help but shake my head and roll my eyes at some of you. Anyone who believes what you see on TV is what real life in America is like, you are an id.iot. I'm sorry. There is no nice way to say it. Really? SMDH.

The first Nigerian I ever met thought that ALL Americans have one night stands. I set him straight right away. I'll use his favorite words...in Remi's voice, "Are you serios?" When I told him I have never in my life had a one night stand, and my ex husband was my first sex. That is what he said. Myself and many other Christians save themselves for marriage just like there. Not that there aren't just as many girls giving it up here as there.

There are people here and there who are religious hypocrites, religiously faithful, good, bad, happy, sad, violent, passive, kind, giving, mean, selfish...

I could go on and on. We are human beings, just like you. We have a myriad personalities, habits, family backgrounds and any number of emotions and intellects.

The one difference I have notice is that most Americans, at least those I've know, are much less suspicious of others than the Nigerians I've know are of everyone. Even their own family members.

dre11: I always hate biology class

So if I was serious and did attend the class regularly and was a dutiful student.....


Maybe I could have provide u with the necessary response to this thread ....

But, why do the females shake their head and sometimes hiss anytime they see a guy who just woke up from sleep early in the morning and seeing his erection from his boxer or short.......
Can the ladies in the house pls provide answer to this

I have six brothers. It's nothing new to me. Four of them were very discrete. The other two didn't care who saw them. Even if I had a female friend over, or maybe because I did.

Hey skeeter

Ubenedictus: nah...
Don't be... This isn't a preaching thread, i won't attempt to convince you. I'll simply ask questions.

. Cool. However, I am interested in what you believe. All these different takes on the same book fascinate me.
