Family › Re: Who Puts Food On The Table: Does It Matter ? by thorpido(m): 11:58am On May 13, 2013
Nice story...if only things were ideal but it's not.
A man should try as much as he can to have an income that can take care of bills even if not all.
My advice to all men however is don't even forget the woman who started with you when it was small.

vivian chinaza: So you tell me! What exactly is marriage based on? What on earth is guaranteed? Are u married? If yes, would you have proposed to your spouse or accepted his proposal if you weren't convinced in your guts that you were doing the right thing? No matter how 'perfect' the spouse seems?
Think my friend, think!
without sounding condescending,u need to realise not everyone on nairaland is an adolescent.
I am married and have years of experience.I guess u are still single and quite young.
Your gut can tell u this person is ideal for you but u still need to court to know each other and find out most especially that you are compatible.That a man agrees with your gut does not mean he will be ideal for you.
I'll take your telling me to think as juvenile delinquency.

There may be issues.I learn't she was married when she got pregnant for Tuface.That marriage must be legally dissolved before she can go into another one.

successcertain: Jesus story was cooked up to cover up the evil and ding ding racist of the old testament when a man named Satan tried to liberate the soul of the Canaanite from mental slavery by preaching about freedom and offering them knowledge on how to set themselves free from the deception of the Israelite and Arab. Satan was called a race traitor and became an outcast e. ask yourself is God obsessed with evil and bloodthirsty? why would he decided to inflicted so much pain and agony on his only son and watched him surfer greatly? Wake up Africa they are stealing your resouces you are the joke of the 21st century and has always been.
Every man is free to come up with his own story of belief or unbelief.

[quote author=gbaky_floor]Yes I can. It worked in the oldies and marriage lasted longer then.

Being in a relationship is not a guarantee you know the person.[/quote]And are we in the oldies?

She's young and inexperienced as a teenager.It's usually the age of adventure when hormones are hot.
If Paul actually slept with her then he was irresponsible(not saying she doesn't take the blame too).

So Jesus was not responsible for their act.The title makes it look like they carried out the agenda of Jesus.

Lots of Gays abound in Christian Universities...

This is coming from a CU Alumnus
Not new indeed.
There are gays everywhere and finding them in church is not impossible.
The Bible never said sinners will not be found in church.

Christianity Etc › Re: Wealthy Pastors ,impoverished Members by thorpido(m): 6:41am On May 06, 2013
Have u ever given a thought to those who have prospered by the church?I'm not talking about Pastors or their families but ordinary members whose prosperity can be traced to the church.I've seen myself grow and increase through the church.
I'm not saying there are no issues with churches prospering and not caring for their members but people keep speaking as if there are not members who also prosper and that has nothing to do with benefiting from the pastor!

lanrexlan: Haha,I can feel how ignorant you are.In Islam,we respect all the prophets of ALLAH(peace be upon them all),we must know them and send blessings unto them,if you don't send blessings upon Jesus(pbuh),we muslims respect and honour him and that's why we can't do without writing PBUH at the end of the names of the prophets.No muslim is a muslim if he doesn't believe in Jesus(pbuh).
Listen to yourself.You on the earth sending blessing to those in heaven.Isn't it those on the earth who should receive blessings from heaven.Religion has a way of making people not to think.

Sending blessings to those in heaven indeed!

FOLYKAZE: Churchian in the clothing of christians.

Matthew 15:24
24 Jesus answered, “God sentme only to the lost people[a] of Israel.”


Do you know the meaning of lost? This people are scattered in the globe. And Jesus said he came for the lost sheep and not you. Are you a Jew? Huh?


JOHN 4:22
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship : for salvation is of the Jews.


The lost Jew are lost and scattered to all nations doesn't mean all nation will be save


I did a good job destroying the authenticity of Mark 16:8-20. You cant refute that cuz the truth hit your face.

#again, upgrade your brain.
I quoted Matthew and u're shouting Mark.Can't u see the difference between Matthew and Mark?It shows d kind of person u are.How do u learn in your school?
I'll let u be.
Christianity Etc › Re: Was Jesus Sent To The Jews Only Or The Entire World by thorpido(m): 1:48pm On May 03, 2013
lanrexlan: Brother,never in my post did I say Jesus(pbuh) is contradictory,I said matthew Jesus(pbuh) wasn't the the author of matthew.Imagine,the bible told us Jesus went about preaching the gospel and there's not even a single gospel according to st. Jesus all the gospels are according to st. Matthew,st. Luke,st. John and st. Mark.None of these people ever meet Jesus(pbuh).
You're showing ignorance here.You say Matthew never met Jesus?Don't you know he was one of the disciples and moved and walked with Jesus?
Are u just following what your imam taught u in error?
(pbuh) for Jesus?Why would Jesus Who is in the presence of God need peace to be upon Him?Why would anyone in the presence of God need peace to be upon him?
In God's presence is peace.U don't need to say peace be upon anybody in God's presence.
Anyway,it's what u were taught.....just religion.

FOLYKAZE: You are the greatest Zombie that cant read and reason on your own. The ALL NATIONS you are talking about only show in the book of mark 16:15.

Get a Revised standard bible and read the book of mark chapter 16:14 footnote. It says authorities that translate the bible insert additional material from there.

Ancient copies of the Gospel of Mark can have several different endings. The shortest ending is found in the oldest manuscripts, all of which stop at verse 16:8. Most later manuscripts contain some additional verses, not always the same, which were apparently added to the gospel at later points in time.
Several theories have been put forward to explain the different endings:
Theory 1. The original ending (beyond verse 16:cool was accidentally lost. Later readers noticed the abrupt cutoff in the story, and several of them tried to finish it by inventing new endings.
Theory 2. The original ending was intentionally removed by cutting the manuscript at verse 16:8. Several later readers, unaware of what had happened, created new endings.
Theory 3. The original author was interrupted or died before he could finish the gospel, and had reached verse 16:8 at the time of the interruption.
Theory 4. The original author actually did intend to stop at verse 16:8, even though the story seems unfinished to most people.
Source:http://www.gospel-mysteries.net/ending-mark.html


Verse 8 ends with the women fleeing from the empty tomb, and saying "nothing to anyone, because they were afraid." Many scholars take 16:8 as the original ending and believe the longer ending (16:9-20) was written later by someone else as a summary of Jesus' resurrection appearances and several miracles performed by Christians.
Most scholars, following the approach of the textual critic Bruce Metzger, hold the view that verses 9-20 were not part of the original text.

Study more than what your pastor told you in the church. Open your head and reason with your brain


You call me anti-christ? Yes I am. What more can you say huh? Im sick of your type. Pls upgrade your OS or format that dormant brain you got there
I won't call u names though that is what u are doing now.I got more grace than to jump into the gutter with you.You start out by showing how unintelligent you are.I quoted from Matthew and u come here shouting Mark.Can't u see u're showing your folly?
I won't exchange words with you cos u just showed the kind of person u are already.I discuss with intelligent people.

obadiah777: WHY ARE YOU DISAGREEING WITH YOURSELF ? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. HE CAME FOR THE JEWS BUT BY EXTENSION TO THE WHOLE WORLD. INCLUSIVITY VIA EXCLUSIVITY. WE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING. WHY ARE YOU DISAGREEING WITH YOURSELF ?
You're the one causing all the seeming disagreement.Your first answer was JEWS ONLy and then u later come up with INCLUSIVITY IN EXCLUSIVITY.Why don't u just simplify it.The simple answer is Yes.

obadiah777: I DID. LOOK ABOVE YOUR POST.
I disagree with your post.It makes u sound like a Jew.He came primarily for the Jews but by extension to the whole world.His ministry for the whole world started even while he was here on the earth.Look at the scriptures I quoted above and tell me why He made those statements?

lanrexlan: So why is matthew contraditing itself? Matthew said Jesus(pbuh) was sent only to the lost sheep of israel,so were his disciples(matthew 10;5-6) and the verse you quoted said Jesus(pbuh) commanded them to all nations baptizing them in the name of father,the son and the holy spirit? And the last verse of that chapter means Jesus is with them till the world ends,Which verse should we believe please? Contradictions.
Jesus is not contradicting himself.He said,'ye do err,not knowing the scriptures,nor the power of God'(Matthew 20:29).He let's us know a lack of knowledge leads to error.You cannot just pick a verse and conclude on it,you have to do a comprehensive study.You need sometimes to see the beginning and follow it to the end.Jesus started somewhere but He was going somewhere.He had to start with the Jews and spread from there.Why did He say,'and OTHER sheep I have which are not of this foldsadJohn 10:16)?
If u do a study of the bible,u'll see that even his disciples were confused sometimes and He had to teach and explain to them.There was even a time he blew on them to receive understanding.Do more studying.
Christianity Etc › Re: Was Jesus Sent To The Jews Only Or The Entire World by thorpido(m): 7:05am On May 03, 2013
FOLYKAZE: Word does not necessary mean the whole earth. From the dictionary, it also mean some part or set of people. Example, the Nigerian world, Arab world, etc. The Jesus ministry is for the jewish world. Stop lying
You're being ignorant.Didn't you see 'ALL NATIONS'in d scripture?You want to define ALL to me?
I understand the purpose of the anti-christ and how his purpose is being fulfilled even now.There's a deliberate intent to twist scriptures,omit or ignore some things or simply deny things.
Do a comprehensive study and not just conclude on one scripture.Learn to match scriptures together.The bible says,'...rightly dividing the word of truth'.

Lanrexlan and FOLYKAZE,if u have problems with Apostle Paul,have u not read in the same Matthew what He said(Matthew 28:18-20)?
Christianity Etc › Re: Was Jesus Sent To The Jews Only Or The Entire World by thorpido(m): 7:31pm On May 02, 2013
He was sent to the whole world but His primary constituency was Israel.Why did He say this if He was sent only to Israel...And Jesus came and spake unto them,saying,all power is given unto Me in heaven and on earth.Go ye therefore and teach ALL NATIONS,baptizing them in the Name of the Father,and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost,teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.and lo,I am with you alway,even unto the end of the world.Amen(Matthew 28:18-20).
Health › Re: Should Non-doctors Head health Institutions? by thorpido(m): 4:19pm On May 01, 2013
Baby mama:
There are many hospital administrators at various levels that are not doctors
But the Chief medical directors invariably must be doctors
That should be a no brainer
If u are speaking of a clinical head,there is no doubt that it should be headed by a medical doctor.However we are talking about the administration of the hospital and it shouldn't be the exclusive right of a medical doctor.The administrative head does not have to be the one doing surgeries or managing diabetes.He just has to be the one seeing to the day to day running of the hospital.
