HealthRe: Symptoms Of Fatty Liver: Early Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore by ttalks(m): 8:09pm On May 20
Didijiji:
whats tests can be done to discover it?
Abdominal scan is what you can go to a medical laboratory or hospital to check this.
I had non-alcoholic fatty liver years back.
But with improved diet and regular exercise (especially those targeting the core), it went from grade 2 to grade 1 to no more fatty liver.

EducationRe: Kate Henshaw Corrects JAMB After The Examination Board Made A Grammatical Error by ttalks(m): 1:31pm On Apr 29, 2025
There is also the issue of the JAMB examination and the so called processes being in the past. So why was the JAMB rep saying "I must assert that our examination is scheduled to commence at 8:00am, not 6:00 am. While verification and other clearance processes begins at 6:30am , it is imperative that candidates are afforded adequate time to settle in before the exam begins." ?
Emphasis on the words in bold.
Shouldn't they have been was, began, was, were, and began respectively?

The Cowry card has an app also. It currently has only the blue line rail terminals for booking the train tickets for trips in addition to using it for BRT bus trips.

I hope they update it very soon to have the red line terminals so one can make payments for trips on it too.

CrimeRe: LASG Traffic Cameras Detected 850,000 Violations – Commissioner by ttalks(m): 7:56am On Apr 25, 2024
It isn't the cameras working as regards the issue of vehicle paper renewal defaults as it might seem.
It's their database just reacting automatically when it does not see any renewal process in the system after expiration has taken place.

You'll notice it doesn't work on vehicles registered outside Lagos.
But the cameras probably capture other visible traffic violations and probably notify the offenders.

Christianity EtcRe: The Priesthood Of Melchisedec by ttalks(m): 9:36am On Dec 27, 2010
Heb 7:17

Anybody who understands English language properly will know that this simply means:

"For he testifies, you are a priest forever just like/similar to Melchisedec."

Christianity EtcRe: The Evidence For The Deity Of Christ. by ttalks(m): 5:56pm On Oct 15, 2010
kola oloye:
Like I said earlier in the other thread. What someone says about himself is more important than
what people say about the person.

Let us look at it from JOHN 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. . .".
God, Jehovah,is the creator of all things.Jesus is the son sent to the world for our redemption.
He shed his blood on the cross of Calvary.

John the baptist testified that he heard the voice of God telling him about the coming of Jesus.
His main objective was to prepare the way for the lamb of God.
Jesus was not the one speaking to John but God himself who was about to fulfill JOHN 3:16

In the book of Isiah
God was asking: Who shall i send ?
Jesus answered : here i am send me.

LET US HEAR FROM THE LORD HIMSELF
JOHN 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me,
and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true,
whom ye know not.


29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
The pronoun 'he' and 'him' defines Jehovah. Jesus was sent by Him.

16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him,
the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

BRB
kola oloye:
grin grin grin I laff in Germany.
The book of revelation was not written by Jesus.
John was the writer,the one that the spirit of God was ministering to.
Are you not confused or confusing yourself Kola?
You say you do not accept what others say about Jesus but what Jesus said about himself.

Please tell me/us which book Jesus personally wrote by himself in the bible.

The portions you choose to believe;quotations of Christ(which you refer to as "Let us hear from the Lord himself"wink ,were they written by Christ?
Were they not still written by some other person other than Christ?
Does that not put such quotations in the same standing as those quotations in the book of Revelation which you choose not to accept?

Why believe one part and disbelieve others?

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Some Christians Hate To Pay Their Tithes? by ttalks(m): 10:51am On Oct 06, 2010
chiteny:
NO!

Some CEO may pay the workers after paying tithe. ok let me assume this is not done.
Such CEO/CEOs would run into problems very soon as their accounting is not in order.

After i get my salary and i pay tithe out of it, does who ever i dash money need to pay tithe again assuming he is an adult and of course there was not cost incurred before getting the money/gift from me?
This is on the assumption that tithe payment of money is a requirement for Christians

Without any cost incurred, that gift is an increase/profit and should be tithed from.
It is a new situation for the beneficiary with no link to whatever has been done to the initial source.

By the way, Pukkah ought to be answering this; not me.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Some Christians Hate To Pay Their Tithes? by ttalks(m): 10:19am On Oct 06, 2010
Pukkah:
Please tell me why tithe (when you choose to pay) should be one tenth of salary. I ask, how do you determine the amount on which a trader or contractor pays his tithe, is it based on his Turnover or Profit? I bet you it is based on Profit.

For a salary earner, there is a difference between 'Profit' and 'Turnover/Sales' or 'Gross Earnings'. He needs to deduct expenses incurred (that are necessary to do the job) on food, clothing, rent, transportation, etc from his salary before subjecting the balance to tithe. It is the same way by which a trader subtracts his expenses from Sales before getting his profit on which he pays tithe.

Which trader or contractor subjects his total sales or contract sum to a tithe of 10%? In the same way, the gross salary or income on the employment letter of a salary earner is not his profit. However, if there is no profit after deducting the expenses that means he (the salary earner/trader) is not obliged to pay any tithe because it is not expected that you pay tithe on loss and it means the individual has not increased in networth.

This is another wrong notion that should be corrected but those that know and should correct it are looking the other way because they are benefiting from it. Ironically, the tithe payers need this education (which would eventually benefit the churches) in order to encourage them because a lot of find actually find it painful to pay a straight 10% of Gross Salary as tithe.

Please note that my explanation here does not mean that I am in support of tithe payment.
Pukkah:
1. You do not pay your tithe from the entire profit BEFORE paying workers. You only determine the company's profit AFTER paying the workers' salaries. In other words, salaries of workers are part of the operating expenses of the company and must be deducted from your Gross Profit before you arrive at your Net Profit.

2. Yes, your workers need to pay their tithes from their pay (salary) and this should be after they have deducted the expenses they incurred (e.g. feeding, transportation, etc) to earn the pay.

3. Pocket Money or 'dash' may be classified as Gifts and gifts (minus the expense incurred in getting/collecting them - if any) should be subjected to a straight 10% tithe payment.

However, I think all tithe payers should have come of age and should not be minors. You may want to make your opinion or religious stand known on this.

In other words, gifts (less any expense incurred in getting it - if any) to adults should attract tithe payment if the recipient or beneficiary subscribes to the doctrine of tithe payment.

I hope this satisfies your enquiries.
Very true and sweet posts.
A lot of people don't think like this cos they're reasoning faculties have been conditioned very badly by the lies of their so many pastors.

Christianity EtcRe: How Joagbaje Became God by ttalks(m): 8:20pm On Sep 15, 2010
You know what?  undecided

What is it with this claim of being gods sef?

The people who the term of "Ye are gods." was originally applied to did not have Christ did they?
So, what is this claim that once you have Christ, you become a god?

It most likely means that without Christ;  as indicated by the Psalm 82 verse, people were gods.
Therefore, even today,without Christ a lot of people are gods.

So what is this superior claim that these god-claiming people are making?
They're trying to show that they're superior to others who do not have/believe in Christ or what?

grin grin
Christianity EtcRe: How Joagbaje Became God by ttalks(m): 12:04pm On Sep 13, 2010
These are all the possibilities:-

If nuclearboy had put a small 'g' in the title, it would have turned out as capital 'G'.
That is obvious from every thread topic; the first letter of every word on a title is automatically capitalized.

But, the capital 'G' in the body of the thread has got to be a mistake, right nuclear?
'Cos I guess agbaje made mention of 'god' and not 'God'.

It also worthy to note that agbaje saying 'how I became god' is quite different from 'how I became a god'.

The former quite indicates or points to the possibility that he was referring to 'God' which is a name of just one
single personality who we all know and not a 'god'(the latter) which is not a name but a title of several personalities(real or unreal)
that could be in existence and are definitely not 'God'.

Christianity EtcRe: Top 10 Reasons Why Jesus Christ Is Not God by ttalks(m): 8:34pm On Sep 09, 2010
^^ It is very simple.
Christ used a fictional narrative based on real world scenarios to paint a situation of the result of rebelion and rejection.The king pronounced/declared judgment in verse 27 upon those who refused his reign over them.
The parable was meant to higlight that judgment would come upon those who rejected Christ,rebelled against his gospel,were unfruitful with what he bestowed upon them; . . . . .while those who were accepting of the gospel/Christ and were fruitful would be rewarded.

Luke 19:20-27 (King James Version)

20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
It seems falsehood is the way you try to advance your arguments,right?
The verses you quoted above are not complete to put the truth about the issue out properly.
You missed out these parts:

[quote author=Luke 19:11-19](11) And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
(12) He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
(13) And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
(14) But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
(15) And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
(16) Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
(17) And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
(18) And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
(19) And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.[/quote]

nopuqeater:
^^^ parables are about jesus. no? if they are not about him, all the parables that you people use to say he is a king, a judge go to zero since he wasnt a king and didnt judge anyone really.

if there is a single parable that you will claim for him, you will have to claim everyone of them, unless you have clear knowledge from jesus [where it is written from him, we will like to read it from there],then your deeper meaning is a copout.

what is clear is clear. the rest is your vain desire. and you are on your own.
You are shamelessly very dishonest, but,I guess it is due to your very limited ability in comprehending things which has been very
obvious on this forum anytime you post.


Look at this passage:

[quote author=Mark 4:2-20](2) And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
(3) Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
(4) And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
(5) And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
(6) But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
(7) And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
(8 ) And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
(9) And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
(10) And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
(11) And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
(12) That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
(13) And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
(14) The sower soweth the word.
(15) And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
(16) And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
(17) And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
(18) And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
(19) And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
(20) And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred
.[/quote]If your horrible bias would allow you, it is easy to notice that every parable had a deeper meaning than the vague meaning transpired in its telling.
This is very obvious where the disciples asked Christ to tell them the meaning of the parable he spoke above.

What a reasonable mod should have done is to change/delete the part that spoke about jackson rather than changing the title that meant to harm or broke any rule.
toba, what is a title without a body?
The body/thread throws more light on the title.
You cannot seperate the title from the body.
Therefore, the former title on this thread was in everyway refering to Michael jackson.
Your argument that it could have meant another Michael or that the title is a different entity from the body

@JeSoul: #3 on: Yesterday at 07:26:22 PM »What is in context? Is it different from what it says? If I say JeSoul is a poet, is there any other reason to say she does not like poetry?

How do you analyse and come up with other thing than Paul said he was speaking some falsehood to all, but to him it is true because it elevates Jesus?
You keep on proving that you need fresh teaching in language; specifically the English language.

Context is the surroundings, circumstances, environment, background, or settings which determine, specify, or clarify the meaning of an event.- - - wikipedia
Context (language use): the relevant constraints of the communicative situation that influence language use, language variation, and discourse. - - - wikipedia

Rom 3:7-8(AMP)
(7) But [you say] if through my falsehood God's integrity is magnified and advertised and abounds to His glory, why am I still being judged as a sinner?
(cool And why should we not do evil that good may come?--as some slanderously charge us with teaching. Such [false teaching] is justly condemned by them.

Rom 3:7-8(CEV)
(7) Since your lies bring great honor to God by showing how truthful he is, you may ask why God still says you are a sinner.
(cool You might as well say, "Let's do something evil, so that something good will come of it!" Some people even claim that we are saying this. But God is fair and will judge them as well.

and this:

Rom 5:20
(20) Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

and finally this:


Rom 6:1-2
(1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
(2) God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?


and you will see that the conclusion you arrived at initially was very misplaced.
