[/quote]Women are the only cause of confusion OR ADAM IS JUST A PLAIN MUMU!!!?? @ BABE I must say your understanding of the Bible needs to go beyond the literary meaning you assign to it presently, as the spiritual aspect is more important. Do you think God didn't know the where abouts of Adam? So calling Adam a fool or MUMU was disrespectful. Do not forget that we all came through him and therefore must be given absolute respect. Temptation mostly comes from the DEVIL who almost overturn the heavenly kingdom. For your information, no man is safe from the DEVIL except through the grace of the ALMIGHTY GOD. You should understand that it was GOD HIMSELF that saved even JESUS CHRIST from the biblical temptation orchestrated by the DEVIL. Babe I think your understanding of the issue posted needs to go far beyond what you synthesize at the moment. I pray that none of us ever fall into any form of temptation. In God Almighty's name I pray. Amen. |

I looked at the so called list of failed great men as posted and am like, I cant see any "great" man in the true sense of "great" in this list. What makes Strauss-Kahn great? I hardly knew this individual until he was caught under the skirts of a hotel bar maid. He could have been doing it all along but refused to pay this time? How dare you include him in the list? What is great about Arnie, the terminator baring his bum in the films? Dont get me wrong, I love those terminator movies. But how would I explain to a visiting alien that our great man is this fellow who starts a movie by baring his buttocks and then vows "I'll be back"-- for what? To show us more of his crack? With all respect for Mike Tyson and Terminator etc as posted, these men have only achieved "personal" goals that brought them to the forefront and lined their personal pockets with cash. My idea of "great" would have been men who accomplished selfless feats that has brought freedom and benefit to other people in one form or the other. Talk about people who gave up their lives in the fight for freedom, scientist who found the cure for diseases etc. I agree some of them may have had immoral tendencies too but their contributions to makind far outweighs any short coming that may have existed in their lives. What has Iron Mike contributed to mankind? He even chewed off a bit of it from Holyfield's ear. Tiger Woods? Ah that one gave us a different image in the tabloids and was a real devouring tiger to the babes away from the camera. Does that make him great? I agree he achieved loads of personal goals in his sporting career though. Dont take this post too serious. If you crack a smile or LOL then its achieved it aim. |

@ Ibexy You are right in what you say. Those you refer to,are some of the real great men.Its true you cannot compare Mandela to Tiger woods Mother Theresa to Tyson . I am sure we all know who the real great men are.Some are in our villages .No media attention. But this is just an example. Infact its nt only the great who fall all of us do. This post is just a topic open for disucssion.I wanted to know why a 'great man' risks everything hes taken years to build for 10 min of pleasure.Then he looses it all at once or he nevr rises to his former position again. They are just termed 'GREAT ' cz of their high profiles and positions. That doesnt mean they saved the world or anything.Infact you are free to call them loosers. its just one general term thet includes everybody else. |

The Sly:What you do for me, simple, create a complete episode of what happened at the garden of Eden and tell us because you sound like you were there. lastpage:I don't think the women are behind when the great men fall, they are so in front like a driver. BABE!:Don't you think his brain was actually developing, afterall he was just newly created. omo_to_dun:, that we should blame God for creating you and I? I don't blame you, its because you have mouth. |

I really don't understand why the example of Adam and Eve running through the whole thread. Are you guys trying to say that The Fruit as given to Adam by Eve was Sex? I don't seem to understand this reasoning because God created them and told them to increase and multiply. Is there other means of increasing and multiplying if not through sex which to me was already sanctioned before the eating of the fruit. Perhaps somebody should enlighten me on this. |
Re: Mystery: Great Men Fall-Outs. Is It So Hard To Run? by upendo98(f): 2:12pm On Jun 24, 2011 |
^^^ I dont wnat to derail this thread again cz it stopped being romantic and became religious but just to give u a background One NL said, the reason why men fall is due to Adam's foolishness. Adam was under attack!!! So this caused some pple to come to his defense and in the process we ended up properly and thouroughly derailing the thread till smbody else got pissed off!! So Adam isnt the issue here. He just happend to be blamed for man's fall!! |

Adam was a great man, actually the first great man to fall, you can't blame him, except you are saying two couples in love should not share a participatory relationship, he is not willing to go against Gods' commandment but then he loved his [i]helpmate[/i and he allowed her to participate in decision making, is that not what Beijing conference was all about. |

The answer to this great mystery is to be found in Prov 30: 18-19 - well, not so much the answer sha, reinforcing that it is indeed a mystery and perhaps one that we would never be able to figure out: 18 “There are three things that are too amazing [/b]for me, four that I [b]do not understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman. |

@upendo_98 Sorry for replying late to your comment---I just woke up. You called the Bible the word of God; I say that is [i]b[/i]ullshit. The Bible was written by MEN, bigoted MEN. The Bible is riddled with contradictions and almost anyone can justify his or her action by quoting some isolated verse therein. God cannot inspire confusion! Wasn't it the white man who came and gave us Christianity and since we West Africans accept and believe anything the white man gives and tells us, we instantly abandoned our own beliefs and subscribed to theirs. As much as Nigerians believe in God, what positive changes have come to Nigeria? None. The Muslims also call their book the word of God(Allah). Whom should we believe? If you were born into a Muslim family, guess what, you'd be a Muslim who thinks that your beliefs are superior to others. Imagine this scenario: I write a book based on a new contrived religion. Buried in this book are tons of claims. Someone then asks me, "omo_to_dun, what evidence do you have for the existence of the God that you mentioned in your book?" I then reply that the evidence is in the book. Does that make sense? You cannot proof that the Bible is the word of God by resorting to what the Bible says. This is why Nigeria will never improve. We always accept everything without question, even if it doesn't make sense. Of course, if it doesn't make sense, someone like you will simply say, "The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisest of men." Don't get me wrong, the Bible is, in fact, an interesting read, but if we were to implement some of the laws that were enacted therein, my dear, yawa go gas. Remember, even brother Paul said that women should not speak in the Church. Is that the word of God too? |

EfeEkarume:Abeg shut up. Do you actually believe this fairy tale? How is Adam's brain developing? Adam, as we know, was created as a perfect man---he had no flaws. If his brain were developing, why would God put a man-child in a garden with a tree that would potentially doom him? Even the Bible says that God regretted creating man.

Re: Mystery: Great Men Fall-Outs. Is It So Hard To Run? by BABE3: 6:47pm On Jun 24, 2011 |
feyisan: Errrmmm, do you know how I parolzs in real-life? Of course I know the bible goes beyond it's literary meaning, and yES THE SPIRITUAL aspect is more important, No doubt. But when I read books like Genesis, Exodus, Samuel and co (Books that I know are written from the stories man has heard over thousands of generations,) I can't help but question it's accuracy and what really "went down". But hey, I still get the big picture. Do you know how many "remixes" of those stories have been heard? It's like playing "Chinese Whisper", (If you don't know what that is, find out). Unfortunately, We/I have to work with the "copies" we have now, and trust me ADam was portrayed as a mumu. He probably wasn't---who knows. feyisan: Of course God knew where he was. I never said he didn't know. Respect? HA, Respect is reciprocal! He didn't have respect for me by not thinking about what could have happened to the coming generations if he ate the fruit, so therefore me no give am respect.(lol) Ok, jokes apart, Adam is my homie. What happened to him could have happened to anyone of us. So, hey, you're right. I'll quit calling him a mumu. feyisan: Yes o Oga. I know all of these. Thanks for the talk though. @EfeEkarume: Omo to dun is not blaming God. Pls read abeg. He said if we were to blame anybody atall, we should blame him. chei--Nigerians! EfeEkarume: **smh** |
Re: Mystery: Great Men Fall-Outs. Is It So Hard To Run? by upendo98(f): 7:29pm On Jun 24, 2011 |
@ omo I heard you. And as I said before, I cannot try to defend God.Its not my job. He knows how to do it Himself. You are actually free to exercise what you believe in. I love that cz God doenst force Himself on people.What you are trying to explain I have heard it over and over again and over again. I am not suprised No. Dont stress yourself pliz. Just hold on to that belief you have and live.Its easier that way. God is just too complex. Let the 'fools'( me being chief fool) believe in God. I wouldnt like to be in your shoes for real. |

If you were born into a Muslim family, guess what, you'd be a Muslim who thinks that your beliefs are superior to others.Nice try! One thing l will never even attempt, is to discuss the Bible or Christian religion with anyone who professes that the Bible is FAKE! No disrespect but there is just no "congruency or basis" for such discussion! I just have to point out that you cannot allude Nigeria's problems to our belief in God/Bible! Why? Nigeria is not the only country with "management" problems that also believe in the Bible/God Again, There are numerous countries who believe in the Bible (like us) and are yet, PROSPEROUS! America, Germany, Britain, e.t.c are examples! Point is, believing in or not, in the Bible, has noting to do with where Nigeria is, today! Our own problems stems from unbridled corruption! Finito!! BTW: That "men" fall for the temptation of women, is only natural! Men were created to "love and adore" a woman so that the command that we should go and populate the world, could be fulfilled! Imagine if "women" where just an "object" that was designed not to catch the fancy of men? The attraction to Reproduce will be lost and procreation would even be unthinkable! Even Male chickens are know to "fight over their own babes" , how much more we men, that were created IN THE IMAGE OF GOD? Another reason why all the "homos and lesbies" need tohave a re-think of their "unnatural ways"! Of-course, like you, they dont believe in any of God's purpose, as long as they satisfy their own selfish and depraved Urge! Oouch!1 Now, l am looking for trouble with the last part! |

It is a very simple aritimertic.For as long as man is RICH,weather you are married or single women will always come after you[even if u no one do].Some men are very WEAK in spirit,the moment they see a woman with very large round buttocks[their long john starts nodding its head].SHAME.Some it could be legs,bosom etc.Men should be very careful.Most men fall into TEMPTATION because of GREED,SHINO is in their blood ETC.We all should leave GOD out of these things.God wont ask u to commit adultry OR to fornicate around. A woman can either make you or BREAK you for life,so men be careful of the word OBIRIN. It is not everything u see u eat,thier are some things u EAT,it will HOOK ur throat.B kyrefool o |

omo_to_dun:What happened to your sense of humour? Don't you know when someone is seriously joking. Of course I know he was made perfect and as for your source, fine he regretted creating us, but he never lost faith in us that's why you are in nairaland today, remember the rainbow, his promises,, Hope you understand now. |

For every "great" man who falls into temptation there are hundreds of thousands of "poor men" who fell into the same "trouble" and nobody cares. Great man fall into temptation , poor man is this use.less man who has no respect for himself. |

It's kinda hard to run. First there's the case of the lady's gait. She could be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine like Latina and that's tempting. According to my research, ladies from low to middle income class are damn sexy. They've got shapes that can make your mouth drop. Ladies from the upper income class just got beauty with crazy ass shape. They don't try so hard to attract men. They believe their wealth would make any man want them. While on the other divide, the ladies try nay aspire to be notice by men from all divides hence, they develop such curvetous bodies that could make the soldier salute. Why do American men always have flings with Mexican or latina women from across the border? Same with all Countries. If you doubt me, go and analyze. Your rich girl friend is just simply pretty but not with a good shape. The average middle to lower girls are drop dead gorgeous. |

Man should learn not to give in to the advances most women because at the end of the day, they will come and blame you. Some women even boast and call it bottom power while they should be ashamed because the devil is using them to accomplish his 3 fold ministry- to kill, steal and destroy. infobox: I'm not sure about your research, but I think Latino women are the hotest in the world in terms of shape. Caucasians are not just shapely |

If men weren't suckers for feminine wiles the world would be a very difficult place for the female species. If u're a woman, beautiful or not men are usually ready to grant you a variety of favours that they would never bestow on their fellow men, whom they see as rivals etc. Imagine if men held women to the standards they expected of their fellow in areas like physical strength, no considerations during pregnancy, if your daughter misbehaves thrash her like u'll beat your son etc. If the survival of the fitest mentality prevailed regardless of gender what would happen. If the pull women had on men were any less intense, the world would be a very tough place for females and indeed everyone. |

Maybe if they prayed for thdmselves they would be empowered to RESIST. Even Jesus told His (sleeping) disciples, "Get up and pray so that you will fall into temptation." It helps when both women & men pray for one another. The fervent, effectual prayers, avails much. But we all are mandated to communicate with God personally. |
