Politics / Nupeng Commences Strike Over Inhumane Treatment Of Its Members By Shell by Indirah(m): 2:23pm On Feb 01, 2012

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG)  commenced a nationwide strike, yesterday, that could disrupt fuel distribution nationwide if not resolved quickly.

Petroleum tanker drivers yesterday stopped lifting fuel from storage in response to what Tokunbo Korodo, South-Western leader of NUPENG has termed consistent anti-union activities of Shell.

NUPENG is protesting what it describes as the inhumane treatment of its members by Shell, and according to Korodo, the aim of the strike is to draw the attention of government to the Shell’s activities.

Korodo said, “All our members nationwide, including the petroleum tanker drivers, are participating…, all branches of NUPENG have complied and they have given their support to their colleagues in Shell headquarters and have shut down since morning.

“No single drop of product was loaded at the depots across the federation. It is going to continue…, we are picketing Shell [Wednesday].”

The dispute between NUPENG and Shell centers on the expulsion of a union leader by NUPENG exco members. NUPENG is displeased that Shell continues to relate with the expelled leader.

Also NUPENG has accused Shell of making illegal deductions from members’ salaries.

Okafor's Law simply states that: 'A hole once drilled, drilled properly even when closed up can always be found and can be drilled forever.

This statement applies to guys mostly (forgive the chauvinism); if u have been involved with a girl for a period of time and did a good job in and out of the bedroom (mostly in, ), the belief is that u can always go to the girl at any given time and sleep with her again no matter what situation arises (breakups, different lover, etc, )

Pastor AIO:

In other words many have died over such Trivia. The bible might be trivia but is the lives of the people that have died over it trivial?

Of course so much of this rests on how individuals choose to interprete the bible.

Yes you have said it all when you alluded that it rests on how INDIVIDUALS choose to interprete the bible.

So we cannot take liability for what every person interpretes, abi?

Shikena.

If you are looking for essential teachings that are unaffected by scribal errors, then you are in a different boat from those that take the bible to be literal inerrant truth.

Triue that. but i think you will be very hard pressed to find ANYBODY who beliefs in that kind of inerrancy these days. what most of them will tell you is that there might be minor errores but on the matters of truth and salvaytion, the doctrine is inerrant . . . . . , . think that's what they say. for me, i dont believe in total inerrancy but what i say and i maintain is that looking for corruption in siuch trivia as whether Jesus sneezed or rather coughed before he died is justr wack and beside the point, IMHO

We will ignore the fact that those essential doctrines are derived (by interpretation) from the actual literal words in the bible.

again, u said it all pasitor. . . ."by interpretation" . . . . . .

PA1982:

Plenty people have been persecuted because they refused to believe the bible to be inerrant, you know.
Plenty of people have denied themselves medical treatment and education because they believe the bible to be inerrant.

The blame for that lies with those people doing the persecution or those people denying themselves treatment then dont you think?

Just my opinion

PA1982:

Bible not corrupt, Obalende?
Tell me.
How does the Gospel according to Mark end?
At what verse?

Passion is one thing, twisting the truth is another, MyJoe.
That OP video was a showcase of hypocrisy and I wasn't going to let its falsehoods go unchallenged.

As for the posters who have actually tackled the reality of NT inconsistencies, I for one applaud your efforts and honesty.
They made for excellent reading and reflection.


All that I will ask you is simple - let us be CLEAR on what we mean by corruption. As Enigma has asked, is a scribal error or an omission a corruption? I don't think so.

No serious person doubts that there have indceed been errors, omissions, mistranslations, etc
I think the main issue that should concern a serious (not pedantic) mind is whether such issues are of any consequence in overall biblical doctrine.

If they are not, then the critic is being trivial and pedantic

IMHO the questoion you posed about the last words of Jesus is both trivial and pedantic because his last words are of no consequence to overall bible dovctrine. what exactly does it matter if this or that writer heard or transcribed this or that words first or last? It means NADA, and shock me that u will make an argument out of biblical corruption by refering to such trivia

If you want to show corruption in the bible, what you should do is to show the OP that the bible has been so corrupted, mistranslated, added to, etc, that its ESSENTIAL TEACHINGS have become LOST AND CONTRADICTORY

and if u dont do that then harpoing on about such trivia as what was his last word is just childish IMHO

Religion / Re: Jesus Last Words Before Dying by Indirah(m): 4:06pm On Sep 05, 2011
What were Jesus' last words on the cross?
Matthew 27:46

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Mark 15:34

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Luke 23:46

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.

John 19:30

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew and Mark are readily harmonized with Luke and John by reading a little further: both Matthew 27:46-50 and Mark 15:34-37 report that Jesus drank wine vinegar and then cried out again before dying. Therefore Luke and John record Jesus' actual last words, which could have been any combination of the two phrases recorded, e.g. "It is finished, Father; into your hands I commit my spirit."

Religion / Re: Is The Bible Corrupted ? Please Help Me ! by Indirah(m): 3:04pm On Sep 05, 2011
So there we go, i have brought for you the most likely escape of an explanation u could have. Does it make sense to anybody.

Anyway the point is that is simply shows that biblical records cannot be perfect. However in truth these discrepancies are meaningless. How important are his last words really? It is neither here nor there whether he farted last or vomitted last. Is it?

So i would have expected u to argue from the point that these are trivialities and that the bible is harmonious on the core matters of doctreine.
