Even God was a very bad match maker. grin Why ask God for a wife(or husband) when he failed Adam woefully? After God gave Adam his wife---Eve---look at what happened! If Adam had been left alone, all these wahala no go dey at all.

I love Jesus Christ and his tenets and I try to live by them. He was good moral teacher. But do I believe in God, miracles, the Holy Spirit, heaven, hell, etc? No, I absolutely do not.
where did Jesus come from? You don't believe in God? The Holy spirit?

M confused

Na wa Ooo...most people claim to be christain,and read the bible but I wonder the kind of bible they read...

CHRISTAIN BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND, what does that even mean? FYI bible no support boyfriend and girlfriend packages, So na to give the package a Name to make OKAY ba? That's why you name it a Christain boyfriend/girlfriend. Just like some peeps call extortion "we dey seat office".

@nl.. Wake up, NO Relationship (boyfriend/girlfriend)unless you are married( that's what the bible really says).
Christainity is Wired to encourage CONJI amongst brethren(Some dedicated brethrens Implode), that's one of the Cost of being a STANDUP Christian, so Folks DEAL with it.

OK. That's nice. You are not a hypocrite. At least, you practice what you believe in. Even though I don't agree with so many things in the Bible, I love it when people stand up for what they believe in. I thought you were a feminist Christian. I always found it to be contradictory because a person cannot be both. You are either one or the other.
I can say I am something but my action tell you something else.

I agree with the premise of your write-up; a Christian should only date someone who shares the same Christ-like beliefs, just as a non-Christian may prefer a guy/lady who is also not a Christian. Different strokes for different folks.

@omo to dun: You are spot on. Many Christians don't help out those in need when they (Christians) have the capability to do so. They essentially lack love for their neighbour(s).

It's a simple thing. I don't believe that he was conceived of the Holy Spirit. I believe he was a man like the rest of us. I simply love his teachings. His emphasis on taking care of the poor, the sick, loving your neighbor, feeding the hungry etc. These are the things that so many Christians do not even focus on. These are the things I have chosen to believe in. Where he comes from is none of my business.
ok! I want to knw where u talking from. Are talkin frm koran or philosophy

I think the source of the fountain is better known than ignored.

I agree with you about christians not doing what Jesus Christ taught them...for some its just going to church to avoid chores at home...for us its our source of life

yea, I don't get it why people are making noise for no reason. Take what you believe fits....then when you get home you realise it doesn't fit.....getting it back to the shop after buying is a hussle.

I respect your point of view. For me, the source is of no importance; what is of importance, however, are the fruits of the source.
are you saying that if I marry you, your father shouldn't bother me? His words shouldn't bother me? His rules shouldn't bother me? When he is ill I shouldn't be bothered?

Yes you can. Do you completely love all the things your mother, father, relatives and loved ones say? Of course not! But you still love them, don't you? You don't have to COMPLETELY agree with everything someone says to love them. I am a not a robot! I was raised in a Christian home and, unlike so many folks, I READ the Bible and so many things made absolutely no sense. The ones that made sense I, like feeding the hungry, loving your neighbor, etc, I agreed with; the ones that didn't make sense, like rising from the dead, raising the dead, God killing innocent people, genocide, bias, women as second class citizens, I did away with.
u see cnt love ur father and mother when u hate d most important of wht dey do and say. Dat u dnt believe in miracle is because God have nt done one thru u. Secondly God does nt kill people neithfr ar woman second class citizen.

First and foremost, my father's words and rules shouldn't bother you at all. You are married to me, not him. If he is sick, you would be bothered because I would be bothered. Your analogy get as he be. And you really don't have to worry about the typical in-law brouhaha; we are Americans! grin
I am a black african woman...

Not american. You have an issue with your origin..I rest my case

Do you love christ? will you die for him should the need arise? even your pastors dont love him that much... if they did, they will be preaching the gospel in iraq, afghan and the likes...
Re: Things To Look For In A Christian Boyfriend/Girlfriend by Nobody: 10:31pm On Mar 27, 2013
Akseph: muskeeto, i dnt even think u have any of those qualities. 4 ur qualities is mainly quantify by what comes out of u. Consider one of ur comment: Re: Adeboye Holds
Fellowship With Prisoners,
Guards At Kirikiri Maximum
Security Pri bymusKeeto(m):2:35pm On Dec 26,2012 Great move. He has to make
friends before he joins them.

Feel free to judge me by the views I hold about someone. Lol. I also like Ronaldo and hate messi.
