HumbledbYGrace: Phew! M sure his ears r itchy.So m supposed to like ur annoying sense of humour?

Come on,this is suppossed to be a christian chatroom not fireworks of xenophobia.

Guitarlife: get a sense of humour joor. If I open such a thread 'em G-unit would invade am die.
But for real I don't use a BB. What's keep you up so late or is it so early now? Exams I guess.

Guitarlife: Now that's exactly what Jesus taught us. You don't have to like me only when I appeal to you. As your neighbor even if I hurt you deeply you must love me enough to even pray for me. Annoying sense of humour is the least you should be ready to tolerate. Don't you get it ?

Tgirl4real:

This is where u are hiding, huh?

HumbledbYGrace: u laughed @ me da last tym I prayed for u

Guitarlife: how many times did the bible say we should forgive heh ? Just tell me and I know it's more than 7 thousand times anyway.

HumbledbYGrace: friends hu fight a lot understand each other a lot

Guitarlife: do you mean you now understand me ? Well it'd be a welcome development 'cos you'll need loads of understanding going forward.*winks*
How was your day and please get me bella I kinda missed her. Huh ? No as in holy miss, the brotherly kinda miss.

HumbledbYGrace: My day was kinda boring,as for Bella we r not friends so I don't know wr she is,m sorry

Guitarlife: you mean with all this troubles I gave you it was still boring ? I kinda knew it. I knew I was not doing enough. No problem tommorow is another day.
I give you some hour's off, I'll make sure tomorrow ceases to be boring.

musKeeto:
Classic 'something bad will happen to you' threat. Doesn't your Christ call people to freedom? What do you mean by 'crack in the wall'?
On a more general note, when the verse "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers ", does this also extend to Business associates, friends, housemates, classmates? Where in that verse does it suggest 'marriage and marriage only'?

Please no 'childish' responses..

seyibrown:

I am sure that all over the world, there are lots of people who regret not having listened to the 'classic something bad will happen to you threat', like kids who were advised to wait for marriage before sex, kids warned not to dabble in drugs etc ... and the consequences of not taking the forewarning gets to be their teacher about how right the 'threat' was.

Your spouse has more influence over how your life goes than business associates, friends, housemates etc. You have a physical and spiritual bond/covenant with your spouse that is different from the bond you have with others. You can easily walk away from outsiders but not your spouse.

Of course, we have to deal with others who are not believers and do not share the same spiritual values as ourselves but we can to a greater extent control how much 'outsiders' influence our lives than we can control how our spouse does. Your spouse is that one person you have become one with, your other half and you will never being yourself a greater disservice in life than chooosing someone who has different values to be your other half! The body can never be whole when one half of it is wrong!

musKeeto: What's amazing is how y'all think that it's only Xtians that remain celibate till marriage... That's a complete fallacy. Xtians are just better at pretending.. So if u're going into a relationship cos u want to remain virtuous, I wonder what would happen after all 'the knowing'...

Guitarlife: stop rationalizing and please give biblical references. I already did to back up my own claim. You may not realise but what you are teaching without sound biblical references is called heresy.
God's ways are far from our ways just like the earth is far from the earth. I'm sure if you were prophet hosea, you would have rejected God's instruction to go marry an harlot abi ?
It's not about how you feel, it's about whatever God tell's you. He can ask you to marry an unbeliever just to prove a point. Bible says while we were yet sinners christ died for us, and the same bible compares the relationship between God and the church to that of husband and wife. So do the maths.

I do NOT think that ONLY xtians remain celibate till marriage ... and I never said so in any of my posts here. It would be a very silly and untrue thing to say.

musKeeto:
I never said you did, did I?

I do NOT think that ONLY xtians remain celibate till marriage ... and I never said so in any of my posts here. It would be a very silly and untrue thing to say. For some people, keeping themselves until marriage comes natural to them, some apply a little restraint and others have to apply lots of restraint, while for others lots of restraints (physical, emotional, psychological, religious) are put on them by others to ensure they remain virgins whether they be xtian or not!

Not being unequally yoked with unbelievers is a position that should be applied across all areas of our lives. For example, Why would I as a xtian want to invest in a PppORN video production business? Why would I want to allow my Married friend bring his GF to my home for Extra-marital runs? As Xtians we are 'in this world' but are called 'not to be part of this world'.



If God calls you to marry an unbeliever, fine! Hosea was called, he knew his calling, and stayed in his calling. Hosea did not have a fantastic marriage while his wife was awhoring but he knew what he was suffering for. Oh yes, he did! He knew God had a plan. God was demonstrating his love a 'whoring' Israel. While on the matter of what God instructs people to do; Do not forget that some people claim God instructed them to have sex with church members who come to them for deliverance! Some people claim God tells them to beat the witchcraft out of vulnerable women and children. Some people even claim God tells them to love children in a sxxxxual way or have sxxxxx with people of the same gender! Just be sure you are hearing God correctly if you are being called to marry an unbeliever.

If you feel you are not able to connect my position to biblical/spiritual positions, yhy not do some digging yourself? I don't need people to give me bible passages in support of what they are saying, that is where spiritual discernment comes into play. If I do not agree entirely/completely agree with their position or just curious to know more for future reference, I go search the Bible/ ask the Holy Spirit.

seyibrown:

Have you been doing other people's thinking for them cos you say " y'all think"? Your thinking that I (as part of "y'all" )was thinking that only xtians remain pure till marriage was incorrect!

Guitarlife: So you conceede that it is ok as long as it's God directing the person right ? That's exactly my drift.

musKeeto: wey Bella?

Guitarlife: do you mean you now understand me ? Well it'd be a welcome development 'cos you'll need loads of understanding going forward.*winks*
How was your day and please get me bella I kinda missed her. Huh ? No as in holy miss, the brotherly kinda miss.

HumbledbYGrace: My day was kinda boring,as for Bella we r not friends so I don't know wr she is,m sorry

Bélla3: so you don dey miss me already? I don show! My phone fell into hot soup! Hehe nobody should laugh

HumbledbYGrace: If you are one of the many Christian singles dating an unbeliever, save yourself additional troubles by getting out of the dating relationship as soon as possible.

musKeeto:
The miss no be small o... u no see as i leave d thread.. welcome back... hope say d soup no spoil...

Omo Alata: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

plappville:

Why should a Christian date? And what happen during date? They look at each other? A christian should Marry at once not dating.
