I've been humbled this past week. As Jesus's body laid still, even dead for three days. I know that I can also rise again as he did. Jesus's resurrection was for all of us. A free gift, the word gift doesn't even begin to describe it. His suffering was to take away all my sins. The healing power of pure love. A man lays down his Life for another, and then rises as an example of how we will live through him. Happy Easter y'all! 


Thanks for this, vleroybrown
HE represents the passover lamb, a perfect sacrifice for all mankind.
Let's HIS blood wash away all sins and keep us blameless till we join HIM in Paradise. Amen



And HE arose on the third day. Today marks that day, a day that also symbolizes hope of resurrection from dead for mankind. It also symbolize the death of the sinful body and the resurrection of new you by CHRIST, like the baptism of water, to receive Holy Spirit and begin to live with CHRIST in holiness and righteousness. 
Happy Resurrection day.

The strength of the dollar or other currency for that matter should be proportional to the quantity and quality of products of the economies that depend on the Currencies. Higher amount of high quality products and high quality services = strongest currencies.

Taking big risk (aka gambling) is entertainment to fools. It should not be seen as entertainment because it's evil and can lead to serious problems.
By the way, don't be entertained by evil things, it's as bad gambling for money... you are likely going to keep spending more on the source of your entertainment to remain happy. It's like depending on cocaine for fun or entertainment.
Only bet for the right reasons, the monetary reward is secondary. It's like becoming a doctor to save lives rather than to make money. The reward from the job becomes secondary
5  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can divorced couple reunite?? - please share experience on: March 21, 2024, 06:14:26 PM
This days There are diverse news of broken marriages all over the world, with little news of reunion. Lately my friends uncle just resurrected an old relationship after 1 year in divorced zone. but on every disagreement with his new fiancee, He keeps reminding us about the positive side of his ex wife. This leaves me with the thought that he will still take her in if there is a chance, but such incidence is rare in our society, But I wonder if it is forbidden. I need more idea on this



Not a good idea to divorce. The best alternative to divorce is to live seperatetly without getting married to another, and they can later comeback together when the issues that caused the seperation are sorted out. You can actually seperate without divorce, and to seperate in this case is to live apart from each other without saying you are nolonger husband and wife.
A couple may only divorce due to infidelity(sexual affair outside of marriage) otherwise there was never a divorce in the first place even if a court granted it... it's illegal annulment. So they can still come together if non has slept with another man/woman after the "divorce".

Better to get the best VAR than use AI since it's not capable of making very complicated decisions without human guides. Besides it would cost more to equip AI.
Take a look at driverless cars powered by AI, non has been able to replace humans so far because of the complicated nature of driving cars in complicated and unpredictable environments. AI can do it faster but humans would do it with wisdom.

Considering it's the main global and reserve currency of the world, what needs to be done to make sure it's not abuse by those with the privilege to control it? How do we prevent a situation where the dollar reserves of other nations are seized by the privileged few for whatever reason since they are owned by nations rather than individuals? How do we prevent them from weakening its value through over printing or printing more than is needed? There are other abuses that need to be prevented, and one of the most effective ways to do this is to encourage nations with reserves in dollars to check and balance the activities of those who control the currency.  They shouldn't print more currency without the consent of other nations and without being very transparent otherwise they will lose their positions and be replaced with responsible people. There is a point in time when stakeholders in businesses should determine how the businesses are run and the right rules that govern them otherwise why allow the stakeholders in the first place? Don't allow other nations to have dollar reserve if you don't need their consent in managing the currency.  This is particularly important since it's a national currency majority of nations rely on to shield them from weakening local currencies which are typically used for local transactions unlike dollars, it's tied to numerous assets globally and is better regulated than other currencies. If it fails the nations that heavily rely on it will crumble more easily. It should remain dominant currency for now until we find a better replacement.

To be continued...

Well, this won't work since America's true President is not in Power. And the only few people with the authority and power to change things do not support your position.  Many in Ukraine will lkely not survive to enjoy the Russian assets if Russia withdraws its Troops  and considering it's covetousness, as it's written "thy shall not covet your neighbor goods."

Very important to note that things are no longer what they used to be...There is an Alien entity from outerspace that want get into this world(I known this sound unbelievable or like sci-fi but it's true). The time is short and the sole agenda of the entity who is currently in control of the forces in Ukraine is to quickly take full control of Earth. Russia is currently being used to buy time and prevent this from happening now until every inhabitant of the Earth has been given the opportunity to know the truth and choose either the entity or the CREATOR of the World.

I hope those who are emotionally attached to the issue in Ukraine understand this. As a captain it's a bit difficult to convince those who don't see what we see from the front.  I was actually pro Ukraine during the time of Obama but that was mostly due to ignorance. I believed the media and didn't investigate further(or didn't know how) to know the whole truth. And it's my nature is to support the weak against the strong. I hope you understand that Russia has a different Spirit guiding her and it's actually not the enemy if you like what is right. I'm sure Putin would want this to end today but his hands are tied and he is more concerned about what will befall Russia if he withdraws. You can't please the zombies who are completely programmed to only move forward, breech the Shield and destroy Russia.. Their satisfaction is in the fall of Russia


I stand with those on the right side, be it Russia or Ukraine or both

It's a gamble. Something can easily go wrong with $30billion worth of National bitcoins (that can't be reversed if stolen) hidden somewhere unlike $30billion worth of gold.
Better to backup with natural, tangible, physical & long-lasting resources that nations can control without the internet .
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Boycott of Chinese products and economic relations - when ? on: February 23, 2024, 09:06:20 AM
Chinese products could become cheaper and other nations will buy and sell them in rebranded forms at higher prices to the Arabs. This actually depends on whether a boycott is justified otherwise China wouldn't be affected that much.

11  Economy / Economics / Re: The increase of dollar affecting underdeveloped countries economy on: February 23, 2024, 08:45:28 AM
Actually have come to understand the fact that when ever dollar increases it may likely cause the depreciation of other currencies in underdeveloped countries. Particularly this might make this underdeveloped countries to be very poor. It can also make them not to engage in the global market of trading, because their currencies can not meet up to this increase in dollar. I think it’s really a global issue that needs to be addressed in order to help this underdeveloped countries.



Less developed or third-world countries shouldn't be affected by dollar increase because they were particularly taken into consideration when it was adviced that nations should trade more with China when dollar begins to increase massively in the future. Ofcourse, the rebellious ones likely ignored the advice or/and did the opposite. Also important to point out that this is not the best time for the weakest nations to mingle or ally with most western countries against themselves, their interest, or their neighbors  It will greatly backfire and put them in misery. Goats are too vulnerable to be mingling with lions in the time of anger and hunger.  The weak and vulnerable ought to be helping themselves rather than working with those who hate them against each other.
12  Other / Off-topic / Re: The end of money erea on: February 22, 2024, 09:02:49 AM
Hi community...

Some still prefer using cash, perhaps because they are more inclined towards the tangible nature of physical currency or because it provides confidentiality in transactions. In contrast, digital payments, which occur by swiping a card or a few taps on a mobile phone, are becoming more common.
Maybe  this is the end of money  erea .

So , will we soon dispense with money and replace it with digital currencies?



The likely reason people want tangible currency is to have a sense of ownership, control and proof of existence.

It's actually better to have currency like physical US dollar than Bitcoin without fullnode due to privacy and other benefits. Bitcoin would have been better if non-fullnode users are able to easily exchange the physical version of it.
 The problem with using currency with zero to little privacy is that the users are exposed to risk from criminals who could abuse their privacy. Infact without sufficient privacy of currency like the physical US dollar, tyrants or criminals will know you own bitcoins, will come to your home and take them from you if you are not protected.
Digital coins could easily be frozen, seized or stolen.

Other benefits of physical currency:
 * You can always use it physically as long as it can't be easily redesigned or rejected as a proper legal tender, which is part of the reasons I chose USD, which is by far better than what most cryptocurrencies offer. And if you want to use dollar safely in virtual form, you could use or create a USD Stablecoin you fully control with full node.
* It's more privacy-friendly
*It's more censorship resistant
* it increases your purchasing power when used in countries with weak currencies.
Etc

13  Economy / Economics / Re: Carbon markets and climate change mitigation, Are we in the right direction? on: February 21, 2024, 09:31:47 AM
The synthetic solutions adopted by certain nations which tend to cost more and are less affordable to others will have greater negative effect than nations avoiding issues that actually cause the so called climate change.
Simple obedience to the Words of the CREATOR of this World and the whole Universe will cost little to nothing and will help mankind live naturally and respect nature and fellow man. Once this is done, the Shield that covers Earth will become strong and the world will heal.

Synthetic solutions actually contribute to problems because they are made by people or things with narrow view of things. It's like giving a blind man a contract to get couple of pigs cleaned, he rubs them powder and sprays perfume to mask their strong odor. And Ofcourse, the other blind men were so impressed by the pigs nice smell that they adopted the solution for the rest of the society
14  Other / Off-topic / Re: I saved a bird's leg and now it is free to walk better again on: February 20, 2024, 09:16:39 AM
Ofcourse it's good to help animals in need. And it's unfortunate that alot of issues that affect them negatively are often created or caused by humans. The human space and handwork is just too chaotic and harmful to them. Civilized people ought to take animals into consideration while doing their things. Afterall, we own and share the space together.

Anyway, it's good not to ignore when we find them. It's actually part of human role to take good care of them when they are in need. Those that can't be handled by you should be handled by qualified hands.
 And it's important to note that it's not by accident that they are found by people... they are shown by the ONE who made them. If you end up helping them, HE is pleased, and could bring more and reward you.
15  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are we gona see one day normal presented and normal talking leaders? on: February 19, 2024, 09:41:03 AM
People get the leaders they deserve. If you want that to change then most of you or the majority need to desire the kind of leader they want and it will be given.
But I will advice you to focus more on the leader's message and less on the attitude. The "nicest" ones could be saying the most vile and evil things in soft tone while the harshest ones could be saying the right things in harsh tone. If you can't handle the tone of the voice or attitude then read it in text form.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Not easy times in the world but how the goverment will improve? on: February 16, 2024, 10:00:50 AM
Laziness tends to increase inflation because many aren't productive or contributing enough for the needs of others but are consuming the little that is left, and that naturally creates more demand and price increase as other consumers are willing to pay more for the little that's left. If money stops flowing easily, consumption will decrease and price will stabilize. If you start giving out easy money again to consumers, price will increase. The sensible thing to do in time of scarcity or inflation is to reduce consumption and increase productivity. The economy naturally fix inflation with price increase which tends to reduce consumption, unfortunately, easy money keeps going to people who aren't producing enough and they continue to create the inflation.
To produce enough is to sufficiently use your GOD-given abilities to solve problems in your specific area of strength, for your country, community etc. Everyone needs to do this otherwise there will be lack or inflation in abandoned areas of strength, or areas not sufficiently done by certain talents, and that could affect the whole society due to people not producing enough/atall. Others try to solve the inflation issue with robots/machines or by increasing production of the scarce products but in low quality, at the detriment of creativity and people's health/safety.

Another important thing to do when low productivity and too much consumption is creating inflation is to focus on good quality local alternative that are abundant in supply, which are typically less attractive. That should lessen the demands on the scarce attractive ones especially the imported. Unfortunately, most people are too dumb and prideful to use things that are too common and less attractive, so the inflation continues.
17  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are most scammers from Nigeria? on: February 16, 2024, 09:00:41 AM
Ofcourse, any Nation so obsessed with money and don't care how it's earned will have lots of scammers. Money seems to be the god of such nation. It is easy to detect the money lovers here as their posts is so focused on coming out of poverty, money making, inheritance, and stuff like that. The more you focus on these, the more you need them.
People need to begin to learn to live without money and start living for the good of people/society. A time of great scarcity is coming. A time when money won't be needed. Those who rely on the CREATOR of the Universe will gain lots of good knowledge and wisdom to survive.

19  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are children born out of wedlock is still a blessing from God? on: February 15, 2024, 09:06:27 AM
In our World, it's actually unlawful(a sin) to procreate outside of marriage but that doesn't mean the children should be hated or not cared for.
If you conceive and give birth in sin, the child will mostly be contaminated by that sin, become unstable and owned by an evil entity that cannot be seen. But only True Baptism of our LORD  can save or deliver the child.

In regards to inheritance, that will depend on a child's gender. The female inherits the husband properties while the male inherits the fathers'. A child who is considered illegitimate may still be entitled to inheritance if he is more attached to the father and loves him and his family. Besides he bears his father's surname name and he should atleast be entitled to the rights of an adopted son. All these will become easy if the child is changed for good through the Word of the CREATOR otherwise you should be mindful of his/her instability. Such children becoming successful, maybe financially, doesn't really matter much especially if the success isn't clean. What matters most is good characters or behaviors of the children.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: saving vs investing - minimalism vs frugality on: February 14, 2024, 10:03:50 AM
In our world, it's expected you multiply whatever seed or gift you got rather than dump it somewhere where it doesn't grow. If you are fond of hiding your seeds than using them for profitable businesses you might end up not getting more and the one you hid would be taken from you and given to a productive person to multiply.

If you must put money in physical piggybank, better to do that with a physical currency that will appreciate in value in the future. If you have done your homework and believe the dollar will appreciated in few months time then sell the currency that will likely depreciate in value  and get yourself some physical US dollar . But the best remains investing whatever money you have in profitable problem solving investments.

I remember discouraging someone from saving with no experience, and I gave this example: if she was saving for 3 to 4 months for a product that was worth #20 (when she started saving) and in the 4th months the price of the product increase by let say 30%, did she gain or lose? her answer was lose. I told her putting money in piggy isn't for the rich... She has alot to learn.
