[quote author=Natasha,,]Peter shocked There was no single question from either of the books, so what are you talking about? Even in type yellow it wasn't there, abi you write your own exam for shrine?
I wasn't happy at first that questions weren't drawn from The Potters Wheel, ''like looking forward to 25 free marks'' grin At least the book was worth reading as for The Successors, I couldn't even read the book to the end, it was so uninteresting I just placed it in my locker when I got to page 60, I was tired of the book. Don't know if its just me but the comprehensions they gave this time was simple,so I guess it made up for that.

Christianity Etc › Re: Moses Wrote The Book Of Deuteronomy. But Did He Also Write Chapter 34? by Youngsage(op): 12:28am On May 04, 2012
flourishG: What exactly is your point here?
My point is clear enough. To challenge our reasoning to provide a reasonable answer to the above question(s).
I know and suppose that most people know, that Moses wrote the first five books of the bible namely: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
But did he write the Whole of Deuteronomy, or just some part of it? Or did Joshua write the last chapter? What y'all thinking?
Christianity Etc › Re: ISLAM Section Becomes A No Go For Christians And Atheists , WHY ? by Youngsage: 4:43pm On May 03, 2012
On a serious note, i've also been considering this issue and was about to create a post on it.
Why do muslims have a seperate section where non -muslims are not allowed? And christians don't av one? Whereas the muslims are not restricted from other religion sections?
Or are they feeling insecure? Or they probably don't want someone to arise and prove them all wrong? Well i dunno, but let me stop here b4..... No hardfeelins tho, just dat i feel we al should av equal rights in here. We should be able 2 converse freely, argue, xchange ideas, and knowledge among ourselves.

2good: You don't even know me and you're telling me not to fall prey of poverty. I know your type. You read so much books and think success is as theoretical as it is stated in books. FYI, I am way out of the poverty class and have nothing else to tell you. Also I dont believe in your bible and your god, so if you want to converse with me, be realistic and not quote from what someone else wrote but instead tell me what you have done and achieve with all your theories and the circumstances you used in achieving them. Enough with all these quotes because I know people that have fallen victim and spoilt their life because they believed in the success story as written by religious authors.
Wow! So tell me where u previously saw my post or where i quoted from? I don't have to know you bro, i can tell a lot from the way u're so quick to argue in defence of poverty from your very myopic point of view- Number one symptom of poverty. Now look at you saying you know my type? Haha funny. Well, u say i read so much books, fine. But i do know you dont read books from ur level of understanding. You can't even comprehend my post to see that nothing is theoretical about it. They are simple facts! I was looking at poverty from a general perspective, didn't even cite biblical examples. Well good u made us know how dumb you are though.
You say you are way out of poverty, but you are so dumb to understand that poverty is not only measured in financial terms. You are really a poor dude! Pity.
I can understand your situation 4rm ur last paragraph. So u mean there are no success books written by 'non religious' authors? What stopped them from believing in them then?
Poverty is more than being 'broke'. Some people are poor from the mind. Chronic pessimists

2good: All your post are based on theory and make no sense in modern day Nigeria. Some people work very hard than you can think of, but things dont turn out the way they expect. Its a matter of planning and opportunity. If one is missing, the other is useless
you are still getting it wrong bro. Dont fall prey to poverty, stop exhibiting symptoms of the deadly disease! Poverty is a wicked monster/master, he wants pple to keep defending him/taking sides with him. This is where the issue of choice comes in.
Like i said before, getting rid of poverty starts from THE MIND, then the TONGUE/WHAT U PROFESS.
It all boys down to IGNORANCE, another killer disease. When you have the right KNOWLEDGE, you will be able to LOCATE exactly where your opportunities are and you will be able to track them down, then you will also use them to favour you, i.e after you must have done your homework very well.
But when you are still ignorant(poor in the mind), you will work yourself out searching here and there for opportunity to no avail.
Note- if u work very hard alone, in this country, u may hardly make it.
But: Hardwork+SMARTwork+ theGfactor=Success.
Cheers.

fizzyshoes: if you take your time and discover your potentials than you will know that poverty is a choice. Many people are wasting there time beating around the bush instead of looking means by which the can unfold there hidden potentials. Believe me or not what you need in life to succeed is in you, any battle you can not win in your heart you will never win it fiscal.
thank you jare my brother!

cyrexx: you are not being realistic, you can sit down in your comfortable house and say anything sweet to the ears, but if you have been in a situation where you tried everything you know to do and you dont have the favourable circumstance and opportunities to actualise what you know, then maybe you'll understand life better. i work among some remote villagers who are farmers, so i understand the situation i'm talking about. if its easy to make one's way prosperous, then why are so many religious people still poor in Nigeria. cant they simply apply the knowledge and make themselves prosperous. its more than knowledge, my dear brother, it has more to do with opportunities, without which little can be done, no matter the knowledge you acquire. so one should just thank God for his opportunities and stop saying its because of his knowledge and efforts that he's not poor. i'm not jusifying poverty; i'm just strongly against the prosperity pastors that says poverty is a poor man's choice, ITS A BIG LIE.

they just want to blame the victim for his predicament and make people feel like they can control everything as if they are God.
Cyrexx, i'm afraid you're the one who's not being realistic. From my first post, i didn't mention anywhere that i was in support of 'prosperity preaching' neither did i try to make my post sweet to the ears.
I stated facts, you just probably misunderstood me, and i'll state them again.
Poverty stems from ignorance, a deadly disease. Now note that not academic ignorance, but ignorance of the knowledge to create wealth, potential wealth.
It all arises from the mindset, the mentality. As a man thinketh, so he is. If you think poor, in short term, you will definitely remain poor.
Do you no that wealth surrounds both the rich and the poor? But who gets it first- the rich man. Because the poor man is blinded, by his thoughts, by his friends(other poor men probably), and he probably believes his poverty is a curse, a generational curse, he thinks maybe its my destiny.
The truth is, Poverty is a curse, a wicked master, poor people are his slaves. You may not also know that poverty is a thing of the mind. If you believe you are rich, before you know it, you'll begin confessing it positively. I can go on and on, but a person who is poor mentally and financially, is very ill he needs injection. What injection? The first one will flush the poverty mentality and replace it with wealth mentality.

Summary: get rid of ignorance. A major barrier. Be alert. Knowledge to your geniune wealth may come anywhere, in any format. But its not easy though, pple are just in wrong places at wrong times. Mind you, you dont know where i am or what circumstances i may be /might have been, but like i said b4, it begins 4rm d mindset/thinking.
Do you know the reason why those poor farmers/villagers you mentioned are still poor?
Ignorance it is.
Cheers bro.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Religion Are Most Nigerians? by Youngsage:
@Poster, NO RELIGION can save you or get you to heaven, ONLY JESUS CHRIST can, he is the ONLY WAY.
But to answer your question, i would say muslims coz the majority of the hausa tribe that occupy a very great percentage of the northern part of Nigeria which also contains a larger part of the country in land area, happen to be muslims.

Yield: It depends on the situation. Some people're born into it. And when they're not given the proper aid or don't encounter opportunities to help them get out, the cycle will continue.
yes, u may be born into it, but to remain in it is a choice. Even the bible says ...and u shall make your way prosperous. Joshua 1. If u sit down there, saying i'm waiting for proper aid and opportunities without striving, seeking knowlege to develop urself, then sorry.
Someone jokingly, once said, when u die and angels ask u why u didnt live life to their xpectation and u answer because i was poor, and they ask u why, u say because my parents were poor, right then u'll receive a knock on ur head!
You may be born poor, dats okay. But if u die poor, dats not okay!
Christianity Etc › Re: I Have An Addiction. Please Help!!!!! by Youngsage: 9:40am On Apr 30, 2012
Hii logicboy.
From the look of things here one can tell that you don't want the help you were initially clamouring for. Help is around you, but you have so foolishly hardened your heart to the things of God. You claim to be an atheist. Well, i pray for you and your cohorts that is if what you say is true and not a stupid joke, i pray God softens your heart to see the light b4 it is too late. Apostle Paul was once a hater of Christ. But when there is life there is still hope for you. I pray u dont die without having Christ.
A question for you: what will be your reaction if u realise dat hell and heaven is real in eternity? Regret? May that not b anyones portion.
Christianity Etc › Re: Am Beginning To Lose Faith In Islam: Boko-haram Caused It by Youngsage: 8:26am On Apr 23, 2012
JESUS SAYS: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME. John14:6. He said that with the authority bestowed on him by God. No one else can say that, even Muhammed couldn't say that, he was a man like you and I. Jesus was God in Human nature.
The truth is that, NO ONE can have eternity in heaven without having Jesus. You have your own life to live, your parents as well. So your eternity depends on the decisions YOU make while still alive.
Get a bible, if u don't have one. Read and seek understanding. Give your life to Christ now before it is too late, and put ur mind at rest.
This is not the time to argue about religion. Even some 'christians' are not born again
