Jesus was baptized in a river, why not say it must be a river too

Some churches insist it must be a flowing river. I am only amazed that I have not heard anyone insist it must be river jordan. That would be epic.

Chaplain in war zones sometimes don't get water to baptize soldiers about to die!

The words 'Bible believing' takes so much importance in Christianity that we often forget it is not the first thing needed to be a Christian. Nowadays, the bible and the pastors/priests that interpret them have become more important than God.

Secondly, the catholic church is not sola scriptura (by scripture alone), she teaches that the sacred scripture work hand in hand with traditions which is also part of the revelation about Jesus passed down from the time of the Apostles.

Hence some of what catholics do is part of tradition because she does not derive the certainty of all revealed truths from the holy scriptures alone.

Can we stop bashing ourselves on the contents of the Bible?

Does it not baffle you all that the bible is open to different interpretations?

It is because it contains within itself many disagreements about particular issues and it should be expected since it was written by [/b]different people[b], translated by [/b]different people[b] and compiled by [/b]different people.[b]

However, the core points, despite contradictions, remain the greatness of YAHWEH, the teachings of Jesus and the goal of saving mankind.

Please note that the catholic church uses the Bible everyday, they do not worship Mary or any idol. The images play no role in their worship, though it works the same way we put pictures in our home and erect statues, to reverence, and honour.

However, some Catholics overdo things, and the church frown at mariolatry and bibliolatry. The catholic church continues to evolve but not as some would want on different issues.

In conclusion, a proper research on Protestant Christianity will reveal that ironically, some protestant churches stay away from the claim of 'bible believing' because some churches have elevated the bible above God.

INTERMAN:
GET HIM A JOB AT SHELL

as their gateman?

what will happen? there are rich men who are unromantic.

Osirimononaye:
Am A Gay Afterall








I mean Guy.

That is 14 years





i mean okay

charijee:
Don't mind them.....you know talk is cheap and advice is easy

But if u dont take the easy advice you will just wallow in misery.

A friend once complained that her boyfriend did not call too often. He called once in two days.

I told her that the boyfriend was a good guy because I was calling mine, once in three or four days.To make it worse, I didn’t see it as a big deal and wouldn’t apologise for it.

I was an unromantic son of a…woman. But I loved her (and I still do).

So how can you have a good relationship with unromantic guys like me

CALL MORE EVEN IF HE DOES NOT

If your man does not call, the best thing that you can do is to call. He is already your man not some guy looking for a second date. It does not make you desperate (except if you call once every hour) or stupid, as your friends might say.

It is just being the good side to his bad game.

TELL HIM WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW YOU WANT IT

Just before you think otherwise, I’m not talking about sex positions.

Tell your man what you would like him to do in the romantic section. Most women assume men know what to do, which is not always true.

Most of us are not relationship smart and those who seem ‘smart’ spent a good part of their time learning new ways to hook up girls on the internet, or bad/ good ideas from their friends.

Do yourself a favour. Tell him what you want.

BE PATIENT AND WISE

Men are aggressive, some are even bullies and most of us put common sense above passions.

Understand that you are the beauty and he is the beast. If you must get the romantic part of him, you need to tame him with patience and wisdom.

Tell him what you want but don’t expect to get it immediately. Remind him about things in a jovial manner and no matter what you do, don’t play the nasty lady card. It only gets the man angry and puts the relationship at risk.

Some men can be rough like an uncut diamond but they turn out wonderfully romantic when their partners get them to open up.

What do you think?

Are there really factual signs? sometimes you get all this signals only to realize that the girl just likes you ...nothing else.

It rained lions and tigers.

I'm happy here. I feel good and I do not care abt wat people say, Naija is the best place for me.

biolabee:

Then as they say KNOW THYSELF AND BE TRUE

If it is your desire to study abroad and get some certifications abroad go for it

You can still come home after studying

A friend of mine is going for an MBA and he intends to come back
Others stay and do online masters

Just make your decisions and accept to live by the consequences

Thanks.

biolabee:

Going to further is a good thing which if it's inline with your aspiration you can do for and still come back to naija
It's your call
Hope you are not staying back on some desire to prove a point

on the contrary, am nt trying to prove any point, I av never really felt the urge to 'travel go yankee' and everyone tend to think it is weird. I just believe I will make it here

fuckluv: U r 100% sane. What's more

many Nigerians seem to have this american dream, to grab a green card, and automatically, start living fine

U knw, the normal thing, get further education, start your life and have a secured future. He thinks there is no way forward in Nigeria because the government is clueless about the future.

Am I ok? I just said 'no Dad, I don't want to travel abroad.' do you think I did well. Yes, some of my friends think I just lost a good opportunity but I think otherwise. I love Naija and believe I will succeed in my country. What do you think?

Ok, hollywood poll abi, and they deem it fit to call it THE WORLD's most beau....make I no vex, where are my pweety ladies, rollcall, my mother, my girlfriend, nairaland babes, and the akanchawa babies. Oya now lets go.!

So naija transparency no even dey transparent, what is actually transparent in this country?

It is a secular society, and i think, the ad should not have been put down. However some might still cite that the ad was anti cultural. I imagine it could be worse if such ad was made for Nigeria

However, there is a reality that many Kenyan women engage in extramarital affair and the ad was attempting to encourage safe sex among these women.

An ad about the use of condom has been put down by Kenya authorities because religious organizations complained that it encouraged infidelity among women.

The ad is about a woman discussing about her irresponsible husband and her extramarital affair with another woman. The other woman advised her to always use condom with her lover.

This did not go well with many Kenyans even though there is a research stating that 30% of married kenyan women are into extramarital affair.

I feel the ad was actually passing a necessary message.

This is so backward in terms of thinking, education is primarily about human dignity, about higher development and productivity,job is secondary. Reissue your thoughts, please.
