if that one is deleted then hopefully all the bad belles who were shouting and trying to derail it with insults, will have spent all their energy and wont disturb the new one.

geez, na wa for sensitivity.

if its a thread saying yorubas are dirty, or come and see gutter, nobody will complain.

dont hear much complaining about this thread either:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-751439.0.html

if that topic gets deleted i'm opening another one.

i dont see anything to get heated about.

if you disagree with my opinion, feel free to open your own thread like johndoe did.

as per why the topic is on the front page, i have no idea but it could due to the volume of views and replies there.

besides, any thread can make the front page so what's the big deal.

for me, anger management classes will settle it better.

you dont just go around beating people up when you're not a roadside agbero or armed robber.

i think a better option would be the guy should give lifts to well endowed ladies.

at the liftee's stop one day [assuming they didnt immediately head for a brothel], two or more hefty looking men pounce on mr alaanu ara samaria, beat the bejeezes out of his sorry azz, and make away with his valuables and/or the car.

that's the only method by which some people can learn sense.


that oba who's being charged for r.ape now- didnt he get himself into these problems by giving rides to "helpless" ladies?

one chance- moreso since its on nairaland that someone wants to try bamboozling others by opening d.aft threads.

na today?

the yoruba one got more attention, i wonder why.

even with jonathan at the helm?

puzzling.

jayriginal:
He may or may not have been created immortal. We aren't expressly told, but lets look at the implication. He was told that if he ate from the forbidden fruit he would surely die. We are told that through Adam, death came, and it came as a consequence of disobedience. In other words, no disobedience, no death. Correct me if I am wrong.

Just a thought here, if I was the serpent, I'd ask that the tree of life be eaten from first (assuming Adam wasn't already immortal) so that he need not fear the death that would result as a consequence of eating the forbidden fruit. That way, man gains eternal life (again, assuming he didn't already have it) and gains knowledge (the tree of good and evil). Doesn't it seem like man was immortal, hence there was no need to ask him not to eat from the tree (what good would that do) but god asked him to refrain from the tree containing the things he didn't already have (knowledge) ?

As Adam disobeyed, and death was pronounced on him, there was now a need to protect the tree of life (where there was previously no need).

Sorry for going off topic, just thinking aloud.

i think a problem adam had here was the sequence of events.

he probably didnt eat from the tree of life [which wasnt forbidden], but instead went straight for the forbidden fruit.

showing the issue might have started even before the actual eating.

besides, he was tending the garden and probably there was no fruit on either tree initially until later, which was when the serpent decided to tempt them.

just theorizing here.

yeah, good thing it was nigeria.

he'll just get a slap on the wrist.

if it was a wife or girlfriend battered like that, nothing would happen either.

such lifts usually end up in the brothel.

people werent born yesterday and i think everyone knows that's a good way to bust a guy for soliciting.

lord have mercy on all these men sha.

make dem no use dem two legs waka enter gutter.

Hitch hiking?

Would you be ok with your sister or daughter doing it?

^That may work in libya but not in nigeria.

And what's new about anti-nigerians being in govt?

^How does real man enter this matter.

@ topic

what a question.

links?

Why was there a tree of life in Eden. There was no need for it since we are meant to believe that god intended man to live forever

And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;

17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

1. i'm not sure adam was actually created immortal.

2. he wasnt forbidden from eating of the tree of life.


still thinking about the rest.

i fear for the future girlfriend actually [if there is one].

unless he does something about this anger problem.

he isn't married at forty-sumthing??

why is that, given the number of eligible young girls who are looking for husbands?


[s]
though his anger management skills need some work.[/s]

^^ok then.

hope the op is still around?
