not knowing that she was using style to steal the money and put it in her bag

[/s]


Please, is this a formal statement?

nwachivis:


How about the one that has had an abortion for another man?

Like I said before, if you aren't ready to be proud of the woman you married when her secret is out in the open, you might as well not bother.

Or if you feel she lied by omission and its extremely important to you maybe fertility-wise, the result is the same. Just don't get married.

Why base your marriage on lies and secrets?

nwachivis:

I thought the generally accepted assumption is that the ego of the husband is boosted knowing that he was the first man to sexually penetrate his wife.

Do you understand the scam of taking your friends for your traditional wedding only to be subjected to all forms of extortion and prostration for a lady that has been shagged with reckless abandon by different men?

First of all, if your ego is that fragile, there is no hope even if she's a virgin lol.

Scam ke? Because she slept with different guys? If she didn't let you know before hand, there's no point getting married. Might as well end it there. Why will I be held hostage because of someone else's promiscuity? If you know you are too ashamed to have her "dirty laundry" exposed, might as well end it there.

nwachivis:

How do you mean?

I can tell you first hand, sensible and successful men don't go around checking their future wives hymen. All these stupid fallacies have been left behind by progressive people. Because you marry a girl as a virgin doesn't mean she can't become a hoe and because a girl has had sex before doesn't make her "tainted". It's lazy assumptions made by people who can't be socially insightful enough to look at the personality of the person they plan to marry and make critical decisions based on real life

jeffjoker:
Ok

It's so hilarious that seun the owner of the site is pretty much atheist. Yet people keep pushing stereotypes of atheism which completely fly in the face of his reality. We live in a world of believimg whatever you want and not what is true..

The Bible does not contradict itself.
Over the centuries past, Numerous Agnostic and even some atheist professors who have thoroughly studied the entire bible have on many occasions, come to that conclusion, even despite admitting they dont believe it. Although many came to later believe after a complete study of it.

I would like to first define what a contradiction is according to the Oxford English dictionary;

A combination of statements, ideas, or features which are opposed to one another:


A good example will be thus:
"John went to school "

To contradict or oppose this statement,
I will have to say;
"John never went to school"

In the light of the aforementioned definition;
"John went to market"
would not even by any means, be a contradiction to
"John went to school"

Why? You may ask.
The answer is simple;

John may have gone to both school and the market, but at different times.


Both statements can be correct, and so will not be qualified to be regarded as opposed to each other. Hence not contradicting nor inconsistent with each other.

Another example would be:
1. "John met a girl called Mary at school"
2. "John met many girls at school"

These two statements coming from 2 different authors can be correct.

How?
The answer is simple;

John could have met Mary at 8am and subsequently met Patricia, Rose, Bolanle and Rukky at 9am, 10am, 11am and12noon respectively.

So it would obviously have been foolish to call both statements contradictions of each other, or to say both statements are not consistent with each other.

It would have been a different scenario if the original statement was;

"John met only Mary at school"

In this case,
"John met many girls at school"
would be a contradiction.

The word "only" would clearly be the changing factor.

And Still on this example, It will even be more foolish to ask,
"how many girls were at John's school?"

Why is it foolish to ask so?
The answer is easy too.

The subject of the statements was not the total population of girls at John's school.
The subject was rather based on the fact that John met girl/girls at school.

A last example would be;

"John said we could come"
and
"They said we could come"

These 2 statements coming from 2 different authors are not by any means contradictions, neither are they inconsistent, as there are numerous possible ways both could happen and still be true as follows;

1. John could be the spokesman of "they"

OR

2. John and "they" could have said so at different times.

OR

3. John and "they" could have also said so at the same
time in unison

4. And so on and so forth

The only way I could have contradicted

"John said we could come"
Is to have said
"John never said we could come"..


Thats that for buttressing the explanation of what contradictions are.

Coming Back to the bible and the issue of young internet users who claim to be atheists today, its quite unfortunate that many seem to throw around the word "contradiction" all in an attempt to discredit the bible for their personal fleshly gain.
They usually use the internet for this by posting falsely titled articles that make them appear like well researched bible skeptic sholars.

The Parts of the bible where they usually do this, are where different authors give accounts of the same biography or events.
For example, the gospels, 1st and 2nd Kings, Chronicles, Samuel etc.

I will, for the sake of this article, pick one from the popular ones they throw around.

Luke 24:4-5
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

AND

Mark 16:5-6
 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6.And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

Firstly, Take note, Luke says what happened
"as they were perplexed"

Mark says what happened
"as they entered"

As we can see, Two different points in time
Just take note.

Secondly, also take note
The subject topic of both scriptures is NOT the total population count of men or angel messengers that were inside the tomb.
As a matter of fact, if you observe, carefully, none of those two parts of scriptures mentions the total number of angels that were at the tomb.

The subject of both scriptures was what transpired at different points in time while the women entered and also while they were within the tomb.
Just take note.


But guess what

These two portions of the bible are boldly and wrongly pointed as contradictions to each other on an anti-christian bible quiz  website that was featured on one article written by Seun above
You can check it here:

http://exchristian.net/3 (link also above)

To tell you the extent of their insincerity and utter dishonesty,
They did it by asking the question

" How many men were in Jesus' tomb when the women arrived?"

A careful look at this question would show you that the subject of this question is based on the total population count seen by the women on arrival.
Hence the phrase "How many men"

Moreso, the quiz question also specified subject time; "on arrival"

However and contrarily, none of those bible verses highlighted above had the subject of total population counts.

And also, Mark was the only one who decribed in detail what happened as "they entered" which is synonymous with "on arrival"


They intentionally used a question with a different subject and subject time to arrive at the conclusion that both portions of the bible contradicted each other.

When in actual truth, their question (based on "arrival" was generated from a momentary description from Mark.

They devilishly picked another momentary description for another point in time, from Luke and arrived at the false claim of "contradiction".

Just As illustrated in our earlier example,

"John met a girl at school"
Vs.
"John met many girls at school"

Also, For clarity sake, no portion of the bible talks about the total number of angels that were at the tomb.

Unfortunately, This is not the only portion of the bible they have dishonestly represented as contradiction before.
They have done so on many other verses, as I said before.

For example, the bible never mentioned the number of wise men who came to present gifts to baby Jesus.
But what we find commonly today even among Christians is "three wise men".
This is Wrong!

Another example; the bible never mentions the age of the earth despite the fact that many people go around saying the bible says the earth is 6000 years old

Thank God for bible explanation websites today that can easily be found using search engines like google.
As a result, These verses can now easily be researched.
A good one is www.biblestudytools.com
Such websites are free for everyone to use.

And most importantly, thank God for the Holy Spirit Who reveals these things to us.

Whenever a sincere truth-seeking person is in doubts, he should pray for understanding and the Holy Ghost would open his eyes to understand God's word.

You could also search bible verse explanations on google and youtube.
There are many other free resources online.
Bible explanation is not meant for only theologians and seminarians.

It is sad that many of these young folks who have not read the bible completely before, fall for this "bible contradiction" gimmick and begin to call themselves atheists.
When u Ask them "why?" they would scream "bible contradiction".

The "bible contradiction" gimmick is a plot by the devil directed towards young people of today, to discourage them from approaching what he fears the most, which is the Sword of the Word of God.


He makes them to Forget what the term "contradiction" means in the first place. Giving them a false sense of protection for their sins.
As a result, they never get to ask God for forgiveness.

The devil also makes them forget the fact that being skeptic doesnt necessarily make you an atheist.


My prayer is that, may the Lord Open their eyes to the truth and deliver them from this grand deception.

Amen.

Dude, I love the way you think

I want to hire you.

Your mental gymnastics can be of very good use in my company

For example, I can tell you I am paying you while simultaneously having the account officer tell you you have no pay..

Please just use your mental gymnastics to have faith you are paid in Jesus name.

Hilarious comments..

Just goes to show.. Logic doesn't work for some people

felixomor:


Now u are manifesting chameleon behavior.

Maybe you misread or misunderstood my statement

4everGod:


You are so wrong!

Who attaches atheism or atheists here on nairaland to zuckerberg? They are the ones always identifying with him when it comes to listing atheist achievements like on this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/3403438/notable-atheists-achievements-undiluted

They are the ones who need to get their head checked and their low self esteem fixed.

That's what I said.. Being an atheist and being a tech billionaire are mutually exclusive. You can be an idol worshiper and still be successful. Anybody who thinks being a tech billionaire is some sort of religious or non-religious achievement is stupid

felixomor:


U just made baseless claims.
Some people here were even disowned by their parents because of Christianity.

Try again.
I can feel ur pain.

Okay. I don't understand how your statement negates any claim I have just made.. Are you trying to say the number of Christians in Nigeria today who of their own volition and free thought became Christians are more than those born into the religion? You cannot even compare.

hopefulLandlord:


I don't know any Nairalander that became atheist because of Zuckerberg

Neither do I.. I'm just saying, if there are any, they are stupid. But any Christian who was born into their religion and has never questioned it is equally stupid

I'm trying to understand the type of weapons these boko haram people have that you need fighter jets to combat.. Do they have surface to air missiles or what?

Lol. I see people showing their idiocy..

I agree with anyone who says an atheist is stupid if he only claimed to be an atheist because mark Zuckerberg is an atheist. That's stupid..

The backbone of atheism should be skepticism. In fact, I only consider myself an atheist in the realm of religion. As to the question of whether there is a creator or not, I am totally agnostic.

But it's ironic that lots of religious folks here are insulting atheists who they believe are only atheists because people like Mark Zuckerberg have been portrayed that way.. You know, most of you are only Christian because ur parents are Christians. And most of your great grand parents or parents only became Christians because of the white man and his technology which they revered. So basically, if you claim people are stupid for following tech billionaires they believe are of a certain religion, you inadvertently claim your ancestors are also stupid

Temmywalex:
Why is Jesus called "the Lion of Judah"?

Answer
Jesus is called "the Lion of Judah" as a reference to his family lineage and power. The Tribe of Judah is often symbolized by the lion.

The first reference between the Tribe of Judah and a lion occurs in Genesis, when Jacob offers a prophesy related to Judah. The prophesy points to the everlasting kingdom of Jesus. In the book of Revelation, Christ is called the Lion of Judah and the Root of David as reference to both his family line and his triumph. Another interpretation of the connection to the lion comes from medieval literature, which suggests that the lion represents resurrection.

The literature goes on to suggest that a lion cub is brought to life on the third day after its birth by its father.

That's Joseph's ancestors right? Not Mary

The international human rights how be how is it called won't see this inhumane act being melted out on this dude, but if it were to be a black man perpetuating such act by now they would have called for an immediate investigation... Africans needs to arise from the shackles of the white man.

Oh please. Spare me your outrage.. If intl human rights group were to prosecute everyone who took the law into their hands, every motor park in Nigeria would be closed down.. This guy is even a bonafide robber.. Isn't it Nigeria where they can burn you to death with tyre for stealing mango?. Abegi.. I even like this punishment lol.. It looks funny to me. No racism here in my opinion..

Just when I was about to buy one..


The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a super machine that I have used now for many years. I was waiting for this Note 7 to finally change my phone only for it to flop.

Pfft!

Same here man.. When the next note comes out I'll wait a few months and buy it provided samsung can give a valid reason for these exploding phones

Sad, the phone was pretty great except for that flaw.. I can't get the idea out of my head that someone might have sabotaged Samsung.. How can it be so hard to find the root cause of this problem unless something alien to the manufacturing process was introduced by the competition to take them down..

Can't believe some people are praising this rubbish.. Are you fools blind? This is exactly the nonsense that created the Nigeria Delta Avengers crew. And some people have mouth to call this a success. I go soon do my own militancy ooo

When her husband was passing through difficulty

You mean passing through Monica lewinskys panties? For which hillary attacked her and every other female she suspected of sleeping with him

Her continuous advocacy for peace

The woman who voted for the Iraq war? An unauthorised, unprovoked war? The woman who accepted donations from Saudi Arabia and then immediately signed off on selling them weapons which they are using to bomb Yemen. Peace? Really? She also

More pastors reeling in desperate people. Una well done o.. How much did you pay to have this posted on nairaland? Mods, how much was your cut?

Why?? Why did you have to disgrace yourself Dr Omalu

shuggah:

the smell of faeces does not allow a dog perceive d smell of death.. we shall see, God doesn't need prove himself to u but may his words ge fulfilled.

. this your proverb sha... wetin faeces and death get in common. in fact the smell of faeces is evidence youre alive

shuggah:

like I told one of ur atheist brothers ND he ran away ND has nt replied, would u accept this,"that if there is God and that the Bible and the holy spirit and everything contained in the Bible are true then let the remaining days of ur life be synonymous with the name jabez, except u become a christian.

@ Hahn no mind this joker, I think he is still battling with his own belief lol. He wants to convince himself that atheists believe so he can be secure in his own belief..

@ shuggah please emancipate yourself from this torture.. You can be good without God. In fact you can be better.
