mercyway:
are you able to withdraw in hard currency?

Preciate it chief. I already made the transaction hopefully it'll reflect by Wednesday

GMBuhari:
Its 3 days if it's not weekend

Quick question pls. Who's got an idea on how long it takes a wire transfer from the United states to reflect in a Skye Bank Dom acct?

Watched all of the episodes last Saturday, I like Mike Colter but his acting wasn't that intriguing for a superhero. The back story was ridiculous and the most interesting character " cotton mouth" died too early, in a rather stupid way. Watch it if you have nothing else to watch. I warn you though, you'll get bored easily

lepasharon:
Clean from what?

Good question...

So, yesterday I rode the red line from Wilson to Howard in Chicago.. The car i rode in was near packed and quiet as usual, two stops along, these two men joined the ride on Argyle. Instinctively i knew they were Nigerians, before I could blink one blurted out the famous "Good afternoon my bothers and sisters".....

Subconsciously, I said to myself this isn't happening.

Then he continued, " I'm happy to be on this ride with you, I bring to you to today the message of life, the message of Jesus Christ ". Before he could form the next word, the white lady beside me cursed the hell out of them and the whole car followed suit.

The attempted Evangelism was cut short before it began, on the preachers' faces the amount of shock and embarrassment registered was hilarious.. They thought what passed in Lagos or where ever they came from passed all over the world.

They quickly got off on the next stop.

That Niqqa Asari swole....

pweetixandy:
looking good

Thanks, you ain't looking bad either...

Feeling myself...lol

It's too much stress keeping an afro, maintenance and all. But hairstyles shouldn't define people, I let my hair grow once a while, hell I can spot any hairstyle and still look really good.

It's her parents that puzzle me. They don't usually allow this

They are a very liberal family, the whole of them. Even her twin married a christian.

wiegraf:
How u take marry muslima?

Hey bros, I met her in college. My parents didn't even question my decision.

My dad is a pastor incharge of a Rccg parish, my mom and siblings all hold respective posts in the church. I am the "black sheep" and I have never hidden it. My dad has come to terms with it, my mom doesn't care. My siblings even join me in mocking religion sometimes. I know two of them who will eventually break free. My wife is a Muslim she doesn't even bother me, at least I buy ram for her sallah celebrations annually. That one don reach.

Bidam: And yet here you are asking silly questions. If the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable.The bible as the manual for life has already stated the purpose.It might do you good to open your heart and search from genesis to revelation with a hrt void of criticism and doubts.peradventure God might have mercy on you and show you your purpose.

Jesus found His purpose.

Paul found His purpose.

Everyone who came to God found their purpose.

God is no respecter of persons.

If it sounds silly to you that's your Mug of beer...
Since the Bible has stated the purpose why didn't you reiterate it here?
Please tend to your daily business if you have nothing to say...Thanks

OLAADEGBU: Permit me to answer you with a quote from Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke' Official Page:

It can be tough. Being a woman or man is demanding and was meant to be. We were made to be shaped. It is the price for being flesh and blood. We are the most privileged species of all the ranks of beings He ever made. Being human is a compliment and honour. Planted in each of us is a vast, significant, mysterious secret of the eternal purpose of God. Each bears a unique personality to reflect some aspect of His infinite glory. Being human as God sees us means sinfulness, ignorance, folly, weakness, all of us pretty much the same, but we are still His specials, more than any seraph or mighty spirit patrolling unknown worlds. The Son of God took human nature, not the nature of angels. He is the Son of Mary not the son of Gabriel. God invested in us everything He had even handing over His Son to be one us, to ransom us. This should encourage you. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE

@ OP I am afraid you haven't addressed the question.
There are a myriad of questions I'd love to bring out from that which will ultimately address the OP. Christianity has tried to make us believe our existence was all about accepting Jesus so as to escape damnation,to please God,but was that why this your God created us? Did his Ego suffer from been alone? The Jesus part was a Plan B what was the Master plan? And again why should we be grateful for being created,did we suffer any inconvenience from Non existence?

It wouldn't Hurt to say " I don't know"
But I'll expect the typical " who are we to question God" answer

Ranchhoddas: this is very thoughtful.i suggest you open a thread for this.@op.over to you

I'd Love to,however I get easily bored with debates..

@OP Can I ask you a honest question?According to your scripture Let us assume Man did not Fall...what was the purpose for Adam and Eve's Existence? To run around Nake.d in a Garden aimlessly? Eat Fruits and count Animals? Was that the Grand purpose?I want to Know exactly what God planned for them before they Fell. Thank you

Sorry if its off topic

Funny tho

How is it "sacred to be held"? Did you think it fell from your heaven? Have you thought of it that a printing press "manufactured" it? Are their machines holy and sacred too? It is this type of mindset that shows if the development of mankind had rested on the shoulders of the black man then we'll still be striking stones to make fire.
Would you have been comfortable carrying Moses' Stone Tablets or those Long scrolls to your church? Don't ever be satisfied with the status quo,challenge yourself!

This is gon be fun.....following

philip0906: Stop playing hide and seek with your self. . .read my posts above before you jump into a lagoon

I'm not even sweating.... Your religion is a one size fits all...you can just sit in the corner of your room and concoct theories for what you know nothing about.

It's funny when christians decide on the part of their bible they want to believe in...Please you should tear this Parts out if you think it is false and don't even try to provide baseless rationalizations for it. If the god of the bible exists then he's a tyrannical, diabolical, genocidal, jealous, narcissistic being.

Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."  (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
 
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house.  Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.  (Deuteronomy  22:20-21 NAB)
 
Kill Followers of Other Religions.
1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.  Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.  You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.  And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst.  (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
 
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden.  When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.  (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
 
Death for Blasphemy
One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.  During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name.  So the man was brought to Moses for judgment.  His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.  They put the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear.  Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head.  Then let the entire community stone him to death.  Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished.  Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel.  Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die.  (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)
 
Kill False Prophets
1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles,  and the predicted signs or miracles take place.  If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them.  The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul.  Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone.  Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.  The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt.  Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you.  (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)
 
2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from another god or who falsely claims to speak for me must die.'  You may wonder, 'How will we know whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?'  If the prophet predicts something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD did not give the message.  That prophet has spoken on his own and need not be feared.  (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT)
 
Infidels and Gays Should Die
So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.  As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies.  Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies.  So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever.  Amen.  That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires.  Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.  And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other.  Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.  When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.  Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.  They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful.  They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents.  They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.  They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway.  And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.  (Romans 1:24-32 NLT)
 
Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle
For the LORD had said to Moses, 'Exempt the tribe of Levi from the census; do not include them when you count the rest of the Israelites.  You must put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with its furnishings and equipment.  They must carry the Tabernacle and its equipment as you travel, and they must care for it and camp around it.  Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it down and set it up again.  Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.'  (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)
 
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath
The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever.  It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.  Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy.  Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community.  Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest.  I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.'  (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)

Samson killed 1000 philistines with the jawbone of a donkey, now it'll take on the average 1 minute to kill 1 person since its not like they lined up and submitted their heads willingly...Hence it'll take 16-17hours to kill 1000 men, I sure most of y'all have watched Jet li's "The one" or "The Matrix" and screamed "film trick"lol

Where does one get the strength to fight for 17 hours? Fast forward to this millennium,he could have represented a country during the world war 2 all alone....Lmao

@ op Your god is a disgusting narcissistic being, even if he existed I'll rather rot in hell than submit to his tyranny..*spits on the Fvcktard*

[quote author=lana_Vello]its not your problem how the animals got into the ark!

as a matter of fact,the bible didn't say noah went after d animals,on d contrary,dey came 2d ark![/quote]Sir,Let us assume the flood really did happen and the ark rested on Mt. Ararat..how did the Lions of the serengeti make there way to tanzania? Or the kangaroos of Australia? Did they swim through the large body of water that separates their present habitat and mt.ararat? I'm sure the bible didn't make provisions for these discrepancies.
you'd realize the earth is not a piece of neatly connected land mass.

I don't understand the gramatical expression of this present generation any more.

I'm sure you understood what he meant..and you can correct in a subtle manner devoid of condescension. English language isn't native,a mastery of it is not compulsory.

Some even go ahead to place that dubious ancient document underneath their pillows... It is one of the ingredients of stupidity...!

God doesn't exist period...even if you successfully come up with some rationalization as to why bad things happen to people,how do you explain stillborns? What faith is been tested on their part?

@ OP please let your family know what you are going through..don't bear this burden alone.
