Mummy come to my mind first. Our mother should top the list but since mummy work is not consider a profession in our dishonest society. I give it to child care taker. Those people are just awesome but society underpay them.

Follow by farmer, teachers, engineer and lastly doctor.( either herbal or orthodox ) they both save life.

Dear Nairalanders, pardon my typos as I haven't done this before. I'd try to summarize the issue though it isn't as simple as it is. I'm doing this without his knowledge sef.
My boyfriend has been looking for a job for the past 6months now and nothing has come forward.We stay in kaduna environs. He is a 2nd class upper graduate of industrial design and is very good with graphic design.Any job will do.

You really like your boyfriend.. that is good .

If your current bible understanding is not stopping you, there is nothing wrong to befriend him.

Colour is much more of cultural influences.

A pornographic book is “yellow” in China, but “blue” in the UK. Chinese brides traditionally wear red, but in America they still usually wear white. Yellow represents courage in Japan, but cowardice in the UK and USA. White represent death in china but peace in Nigeria. So it very.partaning to diffrent culture.



Well culture may influence your spirituality......

Before we continue our lecture.

I have an opinion.....


The claim that there is a god is an explanatory claim. It is analogous to the claim that the sun revolves around the earth. It springs from events and observations, and seeks to explain those by use of the claim.

Fpr example, when we are evaluating an explanatory claim, we do so by looking at what phenomena it is by attempting to explain, then we look to see if there is further evidence to butteress our point and see if the proposed explanation is really the best possible one, or if there aren't better possible explanations. With the mechanism we observed, the movements of the objects in the sky, and considered which competing explanation made more sense: the sun revolves around the earth, or the earth revolves around the sun. By far, the heliocentric model is a superior model.

After reading numerous literature on the perspective of atheist, i realise they don't approach the question of theism as they do to other spheres of life , even though they are both antiquated explanations meant to describe phenomena.

So all what we believer is to show how it is overwhelmingly true that a heliocentric model explains all the relevant data in a more coherent, more parsimonious way. That's all we get . We get to say that the models that best explain our observations are "true" and the models that fail to be coherent, elegant and parsimonious are "false". Functionally, that's what true and false mean. Even atheist should be satisfy with this, unless he is being genuinely ignorant about the concept of truth and false.

My two cents....

"¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Do these Orwell, Achebe and Adichie or even Nairaand's own OtemA, tick all the boxes in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 above?

I remember reading "Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irunmọlẹ" and not "Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Olodumare"
Baba Fagunwa never wrote any book titled "[i]Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Olodumare[/i]"

This is evidence that Wikipedia is not gospel
and why it always, has to be taken with a pinch of salt

Wikipedia got wires crossed with another book titled "Igbo Olodumare" (i.e. Forest of God)

lol..........stop being a rugrat......budaatum is intelligent and you know that. The book tittle is an evidence he reads a lots... "" ogboju ode ninu igbo olodumare"" ko ogbuju ode ninu igbo budaatum ni....lol

this is hopefullanlord i guess

These postulation shows we 're far less certain than we think. So it is paradoxical to wait for flawless evidence of God. It certainly not realistic nor rational.. Imagine APC winning next year election, with unanimous votes.. should that ever happen ,PDP would be led to suspect a systemic bias caused by vote rigging. Even when apc won last year election, pdp stills had some votes likewise other parties.. if it happens that apc won all the votes flawlessly . Then our democracy clearly failed in that case. The take-home message is that, in a healthy democracy, when a party wins by a small margin, instead of name-calling the 'dumb' voters of the opposition, we should be celebrating the fact that the opposing voters preserved the integrity of democracy.

Mathematics

Using the Bayesian analysis, which can be understood in a simplistic way by looking at a biased coin. If a biased coin is designed to land on heads 55% of the time, then you would be able to tell after recording enough coin tosses that heads comes up more often than tails. The results would not indicate that the laws of probability for a binary system have changed, but that this particular system has failed. In a similar way, getting a large group of unanimous witnesses is so unlikely, according to the laws of probability, that it's more likely that the system is unreliable.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_probability

Philosophy

is related to the Duhem-Quine hypothesis, which states that it is not possible to test a scientific hypothesis in isolation, but rather hypotheses are always tested as a group. For instance, an experiment tests not only a certain phenomenon, but also the correction function of the experimental tools. In the paradox of unanimity, it's the methods (the "auxiliary hypotheses" that fail, and in turn reduce the confidence in the result .

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhem%E2%80%93Quine_thesis

Science..

Theory and experiment go hand in hand and must support each other. In every experiment there is always 'noise,' and we must therefore expect some error. In the history of science there are a number of famous experiments where the results were 'too good to be true.' There are many examples that have been coverd in controversy over the years, and the most famous are Millikan's oil drop experiment for determining the charge on the electron and Mendel's plant breeding experiments. If results are too clean and do not contain expected noise and outliers, then we can be led to suspect a form of confirmation bias introduced by an experimenter who cherry-picks the data.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_drop_experiment

Empiricism( which is refer to objectivism) is hold as the only source of truth by some people. They even go further that the tbe truth must be unanimously accepted.

Little they know, this is paradox on its own.

To understand this, lets move further back to ancient Jewish law, if a suspect on trial was unanimously found guilty by all judges, then the suspect was acquitted. This reasoning sounds counterintuitive, but the legislators of the time had noticed that unanimous agreement often indicates the presence of systemic error in the judicial process, even if the exact nature of the error is yet to be discovered. They intuitively reasoned that when something seems too good to be true, most likely a mistake was made

Let see how it apply to science, philosophy and mathematics .

We are still on empiricism. Some people claim not until they grap hold of the truth, they will never believe it.

Philosopher's have used the terms "analytic (statistical ) and "synthetic" (material)to distinguish between the senses in which something can be true, as we have employed here. but this is problematic for the reason that though propositional systems are mental constructs, the mind and its mental constructs are still a part of reality. It's a rather contrived, if sometimes useful, distinction. Mathematicians, for instance, deal with non-trivial "analytic truth" every day and their discoveries are just that: discoveries.

But there is one big difference: confirmation isn't applicable in building empirical knowledge. We can't just go through and check that everything conforms properly because we don't have a set of axioms or a definition for reality, so to speak; we can only guess and check. And even then, no matter how many times we check, we can never be sure it will be valid the next time we check —this is called the problem of induction.(google up).

Most medicine are originally from herbs". Authough they are some from animal and mineral sources as well.

Infact drugs such (aspirin, Morphium, Tamoxifen, Vin­cris­tin, etc.) were originally derived from botanical material.and therefore herbs. Any pastors warnning his members not to take herbs is only acting stupid ( i am not sorry for my choice of word)

Euro-gentile hybrid faith, What's that?
It sound as something not part of the jewish worship.

Is is true that yeshua did not accept both the jews and the gentiles alike?

simply they are the sets of people who are not originally jews but Europeans. They mix both Greek tradItion and jewish tradItion together. In fact they birth Christianity
.
Jesus base on the gospel. Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the house of isreal and the term "isreal " is really a reference to the house of Judah (with all 12 tribes within them. So some none jews like benjamite and the likes maybe inclusive. But as for the greeks, i doubt

paxonel:
characteristics will only change when concept changes.
But so long the evolved or new generation to come maintain the concept of the original scriptures, then there is nothing to fear. There will be systematic transfer of the character of YHWH to whatever YKPU and worship continues forever

when the name is changing so will be his attribute becaise any new name coined will be adding more definition or subtracting from the original name.That is how society work.

are you saying that the hebrew yeshua was not referring to jesus of today?

Certainly . Because when you study the language epsiistmologically, you will realise yeshua was his Hebrew name. Meaning Jesus’ is not just an innocent anglicization, it’s a deliberate mangling of his name, in an effort to co-opt his identity into the Romanized version..

Yeshua militated his whole life against Greco-Roman corruption thru out entire gospel. So when the bible reported he was executed by Romans. he was saddled with a Romanized name, as a part of a campaign to incorporate him into a Euro-gentile hybrid faith; a deliberate and awful insult to him and what he stood for.

Yes, Yeshua is absolutely the better name. And calling him jesus means another thing entirely.

Psoul:
Imagine Gov Peter Ayodele Fayose moving on the street and someone calls The Rock, do you think he will turn to answer?
Yes he will. Peter means rock. When you know so many meanings of your name or you know so many tongues.

The world needs you to have a name in order to address you. They will use your name to pelt roses as well as stones at you. If yeshua found a name offensive he will not answer even if billions called him by that name.

Yeshu was corrupted to jesus in modern day. Yeshu was the shortening term the Hebrew uses to refered to jesus. It means may your name be wipe out.
Jesus and the hebrews never have a good term in the biblical history. And therefore decided to labelled him with such a name.


Can you imagine the Father in heaven saying to his Son “Jesus? Do you know him”, Son “Er No … never heard of him”, Father “Who are they praying to then?”, Son “Dunno!”

Do a resarch before you respond.

paxonel:
not so soon.
But trust humans, someone along the line in the future will definitely change it to YKPU or something. But the person who is bearing the name will still remain the same person forever.

There will never be a time humans will not recognise that there was a creator

Words do not always fit concepts and concepts do not often fit words. Words change, concepts change; and oftentimes the underlying concept changes . So If yhwh is abrogated to something like ykpu become the daily used . Then characteristic of yhwh will change alongside. Do you agree?

You should know by now jesus is not the same thing as yeshua and hence characters can't be the same.

paxonel:
Even the hebrew language and a lot of it pronunciation have evolve over time, to what is known as today hebrew language how much more names.

Another 1 million years from now do you think that name jesus will still be in vogue?

The name will change to something else, but it will still be noted that someone was crucified a million years ago to save mankind from sin with some other name known to the people of that era.

So, i dont know what freeze is shouting?
What will be will surely be.

Do you think YHWH name will soon be abrogated.

gbigbega:
Yes he will. The name Emmanuel is called Emma, Eman, in my village they call it Manu. So no matter which of them you call, a person bearing Emmanuel will answer even in Antarctica. The only thing is that the person will know the origin, tribe or relationship of the caller.

E.g. if somebody calls Manu, in London, he will know that is village people as located him again in London.

The name "Jesus" is an Anglicized variation of "Yeshu" which is a curse to blot out the name of the Messiah.

Shortening the name may read another meaning

For example, yeshua is shortening or corrupt to Yeshu in (Hebrew) is also jesu in (Yoruba) which is a curse to "blot out" His name

In china , the Messiah is also called "Yesu" - NOT realizing it actually means "May His name be obliterated" or wiped out.

Jesus the false name

Yeshu versus Yeshua

Lets look at the history of the letter J

We know from historical records that the letter J did not exist in the Hebrew, Greek, or Latin alphabets as dady freeze point out.

It wasn't until later in the 1600s that the letter J was first used in the English language.

The King James 1611 version contains no letter J.

So therefore we know that the name Jesus did not exist prior to the 1600s.

So what was the Messiah real name ?

Yeshua

From the Ancient Aramaic texts we know that the Messiah's real name was Yeshua.

So why was this name so poorly transliterated by the Greek and Latin translators ?

Yeshua in scriptures often clashed with the scribes and pharasees.

As an insult his name of Yeshua was shortened to Yeshu.

So what does Yeshu mean ?

Yeshu is actually an acronym meaning may his name and memory be obliterated or wiped out

So in actuality the corruption of the name from yeshu to jesus in modern time is an insult or cursed

paxonel:
Seriously, names are not important what is this man saying?
Whether you choose to call him yeshua or jesus atleast you have identified that there was a saviour with whatever name?

I dont know why people keep stressing themselves putting emphases on names?

i seriously think dady freeze is right also and contrary to your opinion ""Name is very important"".

Imagine yeshua as a persom is walking along the street of oshodi, and you called him by the name Jesus. Do you think he will answer you?

What is Benin kingdom compared to when 2000 years ago , Romans where building colloseums when blacks where still struggling to use rafia nad mud to build mud houses

Do you linked development to buildings or civilization? I will like to know.

But let me tell you that some sub-saharan civilisation evolved parallel to Greece and Rome, namely the regions that eventually became the Kingdom of Aksum and later became the Ethiopian Empire and today's Ethiopia. At its peak, this empire controlled the Gulf of Aden, parts of modern-day Yemen. Great Zimbabwe., mali empire and some few others.

Seun:
Agreed. Though this was just recently discovered.

This is not even true, extensive research still maintain the intitial point of veiw. European are claming ownership of Egypt just like how some africans are claiming ownership of isreal. Some kind of low self esteem in diplay.


Ancient Egypt is indeeed African and belongs to blacks

The Archbishop of Kampala , Cyprian Kizito Lwanga , has suggested that the government of Uganda deduct tithe from workers ’ salaries .
Speaking during a mass, the Catholic Archbishop said many Christians don’t tithe and this affects church projects, reports Citizen Kenya .
“Whenever we ask for tithe , everyone gives only what they have at that time . But the Bible says a tenth of whatever you earn belongs to the church ,” said Archbishop Lwanga .
“ Give me your support as I front this proposal because it is good for us . Aren ’t you tired of putting money in the baskets all the time ?”

Archbishop Lwanga said he wanted Uganda to go the German route , where Germans , who are registered as Catholics , Protestants or Jews have a church tax ( Kirchensteuer ) of 8- 9 per cent deducted from their annual income .

“I was told Germans made agreements with their government to deduct monthly tithe from their salaries and forward it to the church and this money they use to build and renovate their churches ,” he added .
https://www.mediahelm.com.ng/2018/10/government-should-deduct-tithes-from.html

This is the reasons some says german tax system is unreasonable. At least the church tax law is one of those evidence. Not only does it forces citizens to report their beliefs to Government, it makes some “preferable” Churches richer than others. There is a strong movement in Germany to abolish this law as people are currently against it.
