What am learning from the Bible...

I have come to discover that a lot of practical, everyday tit-bits of wisdom is in the Bible.
Love and Romance
Investment and Finance
Leadership: communication, strategy
Love and Romance
Song of Songs has this: 6:2,3 Beloved, "My lover has gone DOWN to his GARDEN... to browse and to gather lilies... I am my lover's and my lover is mine; he browses among the lillies."
8:2 "I will lead you and bring you...I would give you the nectar of my pomegranates"
Si hii ni maneno na airports na ukulima, to paraphrase @atalaku and @swenani. Difference is the use of poetry and allusion, rather than direct labels. And am discovering that in romance, the lights should be dim...you know the general direction but you never move directly in that direction. Hapana weka 100 watts hapo.
Nitajaribu na mpenzi nigundue hii pomegranate ni matunda gani ;)
More to come as we discover

More to come as we discover First, lemme see if I get you right... you're saying that the Bible talks about giving head? Pomegranates are known locally as kukumanga or at least that's what people call them back in my shags estate. The fruits are very beautiful when they split open while still on the shrub. It makes a good ornamental plant.

To my understanding, that is not what am talking about: 100 watt bulb in the bedroom, where everything is just laid bare as if one is in the butchery: "nataka hiyo nyama ya pande ingine...". I am talking about romance, not porn.

The Bible is all encompassing. It covers ALL aspects of life. Take a Bible study coarse and you'll be amazed. Ordained sex between husband and wife is a form of Worship.

Ordained sex between husband and wife is a form of Worship. Is that why they keep saying 'Oh My God! Oh my God!Oh My God! Oh my God!? I solemn hear this during church services

When I read the Bible, the time I was doing soul search, several years ago, I discovered so many other things Bible teaches, which are never READ in church! Some are abomination to read in church. If I listed down all those lessons you can get from the Bible, it can easily hurt some people here!

John 5:30 "By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me" How can the man who said this be God??  Mark 12:29
Deuteronomy 4:16

1. GOD has billions of sons!!! He has several firstborns, and many others like the sand.
(a) "...Israel is MY SON even my FIRSTBORN." EXODUS 4:22
(b) "...and Abraham is my FIRSTBORN." JEREMIAH 31:9
(c) "...Thou (O David) ART MY SON; this day have I (God) BEGOTTEN thee." PSALMS 2:7 ("BEGOTTEN" how can God sire David at age 40?)
(d) Sons of God saw the daugthers of God GENESIS 6:2 and 4
(e) Adam was the SON OF GOD LUKE 3:38
2. Jesus is a racist. He only came for the Jews!
(a). Jesus sent his 12 disciples "and commanded them saying, GO NOT into the way of the Gentiles, or any city of the Samaritans ENTER YE NOT... only to the lost sheep of THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL (to the Jews only)." Matthew 10:5-6
(b) A Canaanite woman begged Jesus, saying Lord, help me (to cure my daughter). But Jesus answered and said, it is not good take children's food and CAST IT TO DOGS (the non-Jews)." MATTHEW 15:24-26
3. I will continue....

The Bible is too subtle for the profane mind. But what's a profane mind? It's one that's afraid of darkness and evil.

Patience. You cannot have a baby in one month by impregnating nine women....

That's why Im so glad we Muslims accept Jesus as the Christ and our Messiah who is the son just like Adam in Luke 3:38! The real truth... So the liars must be the Jews who called him a bastard and the Christians who said he was God Almighty  Mark 12:29

3. I will continue.... @Alph how dare you call the Messiah a racist?? The Qur'an and Bible say his first coming was only to the children of Israel but that does not make him a racist! Besides we all know on his 2nd coming he will rule the whole earth under the law of Muhammad! Mark 12:29
