Hello,
I need your help in identifying a fruit. These are its characteristics:
- It is found in Southern Nigeria;
- It's ovoid in shape - about 10mm by 8mm by 5mm;
- It has an outer thin shell which is very dark brown and somewhat velvety;
- When this shell is broken, it reveals a dry interior which has a seed
covered with a light-orange 'dusty' layer;
- When the seed is sucked, the light-orange layer dissloves away, revealing
a sweet and slightly sour taste and explosing the seed beneath (this is
light brown;
- The fruit usually occurs in bunches.
Thanks in advance,
Akin

If I saw nothing there which revealed a Divinity, I
would come to a negative conclusion; if I saw everywhere the signs of a
Creator, I would remain peacefully in faith. But, seeing too much to deny
and too little to be sure, I am in a state to be pitied; wherefore I have a
hundred times wished that if a God maintains Nature, she should testify to
Him unequivocally, and that, if the signs she gives are deceptive, she
should suppress them altogether; that she should say everything or nothing,
that I might see which cause I ought to follow. Whereas in my present state,
ignorant of what I am or of what I ought to do, I know neither my condition
nor my duty. My heart inclines wholly to know where is the true good, in
order to follow it; nothing would be too dear to me for eternity.
I envy those whom I see living in the faith with such carelessness and who
make such a bad use of a gift of which it seems to me I would make such a
different use.
230. It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is
incomprehensible that He should not exist; that the soul should be joined to
the body, and that we should have no soul; that the world should be created,
and that it should not be created, etc.; that original sin should be, and
that it should not be.
231. Do you believe it to be impossible that God is infinite, without parts?
Yes. I wish therefore to show you an infinite and indivisible thing. It is a
point moving everywhere with an infinite velocity; for it is one in all
places and is all totality in every place.
Let this eff |

Church corrupt, that they may be saints.
899. Against those who misuse passages of Scripture, and who pride
themselves in finding one which seems to favour their error.--The chapter
for Vespers, Passion Sunday, the prayer for the king.
Explanation of these words: "He that is not with me is against me." And of
these others: "He that is not against you is for you." A person who says: "I
am neither for nor against"; we ought to reply to him...
900. He who will give the meaning of Scripture, and does not take it from
Scripture, is an enemy of Scripture. (St. Augustine, Of Christian Doctrine.)
901. Humilibus dat gratiam;223 an ideo non dedit humilitatem?224
Sui eum non receperunt; quotquot autem non receperunt,225 an non erant
sui?226
902. "It must indeed be," says Feuillant, "that this is not so certain; for
controversy indicates uncertainty (Saint Athanasius, Saint Chrysostom,
morals, unbelievers)."
The Jesuits have not made the truth uncertain, but they have made their own
ungodliness certain.
Contradiction has always been permitted, in order to blind the wicked; for
all that offends truth or love is evil. This is the true principle.
903. All religions a |

the inquirer; and perhaps
would make no other answer but that they see Him to be true. But a
person might soon be satisfied, by a particular conversation with them,
that what they mean by such an answer is, that they have intuitively
beheld, and immediately felt, most illustrious and powerful evidence of
divinity in them.
Some are thus convinced of the truth of the gospel in general, and that
the Scriptures are the word of God: others have their minds more
especially fixed on some particular great doctrine of the gospel, some
particular truths that they are meditating on, or reading of, in some
portion of Scripture. Some have such conviction in a much more
remarkable manner than others: and there are some who never had such a
special sense of the certainty of divine things impressed upon them,
with such inward evidence and strength, but who yet have very clear
exercises of grace; i.e. of love to God, repentance, and holiness. And
if they be more particularly examined, they appear plainly to have an
inward firm persuasion of the reality |
