nairaland22: Does d church approve d use of CONDOM? IF or not it does, as a christian can u sell CONDOM?fact is the use of condom is rational... A married couple who may not want to procreĆte but have sexual satisfaction have no penned warnin from the holy book not to use condoms...! However when youths indulge in fornication but makes use of condoms so as not to procreate..., u apparently know what has gone wrong And by the way.., d holy book does not mention the word 'condom' and neither is there a hinderance to sell condom... So if as a seller.., I happen to have condoms in stalk.., I will freely sell it to patronizers since I do not knoW for what purpose it is required..! |

My faith comes with a Manual on how I am suppose to live all phases of my life, so living any part of it for my own selfish reasons would make me a renegade (even if for that moment) to my faith and that really shows if I truelly regard or not, my religion. But in the real sense of it all, islam says no to anything Haram(illegal, immoral,things you have to start justifying to suit your selfish interest) |

NnamdiN: that's my dilemma. I can't approach a married woman to tell her about it. I'd lose my tongue. The single chicks say their bobos dey do dem well Well you don't have to walk up to a woman and do that. Set up shows that a female friend can help you manage. A married friend of mine and her husband do the same things in the states. The one I attended was started by a married Christian woman. At the party we were all women. Absolutely no men around. It was fun. We played fun games and looked through catalogs of toys. Just about everyone ordered something. Some even got something for their husbands. You just have to sit down and come up with a mature and respectable way to present it to people. People view it as something vulgar. Your goal should be to find a way to market it as a way to connect intimately with your spouse. Tell them the experience is so wonderful it takes you to heaven and back LOL. Some religious people might like that. |

NnamdiN: Ehm yeah. Like I have someone that is willing to send me adult toys from Asia I feel like I'm gonna directly/indirectly be involved in promoting immorality. I know it's a kinda immoral business line (against some religious beliefs) and I also know the se x industry is a multi billion dollar industry. I've just "graduated" and without a "job". I tried consoling myself with the fact that I'm gonna concentrate on married folks, but we all know that majority of the users of these toys are unmarried folks. (especially *u know dem na*).I am interested in this line of business. You sell them through chic fashion boutiques and saloon by word of mouth. Contact me at broskingsley@gmail.com. Ladies love them, I have a few from Germany,too expensive |

What shall it profit a man/woman if he/she shall gain the whole world, make all the millions by selling alcohol and cigarettes/igbo and pornographic materials and whatever toys, earn fat salaries from prostitution, tobacco and brewery work, betting and gambling, and loose his/her soul in the fires of hell? I ask? Remember, your religious theologies, seemingly good logic, brilliant submissions and intelligent arguments can never and will never save you. If you,re into any of these or you are contemplating such, repent of your sins, resign from those act of wickedness and return to Jesus. Only Jesus can save you. If God does not take the first place in your life, then you can be sure the devil has taken centre stage in your life. As for me it is one word; UNTHINKABLE. A verse of Scripture is enough for the Heavenly-minded. God bless you. |

I believe that God wants me to be rich and will bless me with millions and billions of naira. So anything I do in business is implicitly approved by God Almighty. So, there can be no business that goes against my faith, except for those business that will not make me money. |

zezebabyxoxo: If the answer is no, then most Nigerian artists should stop singing and shooting music videos.Who said what most of them do is ok?they should not be your standard. To the Op. No, your Faith is your Life Manual. You may start blaming yourself if somethings start going wrong. Remember, when things start going wrong in life, some people will start retracing where they got it all Wrong. That is Faith at work, you must not abandon it. |

REDs house: What about churchs that operate hotels ....what purpose is it xpected to serveThe Question is AGAINST FAITH. Hotels and Cybercafes are not against the Church. May be you do not Travel to see the need of a Hotel, or you have you own pc to make this post. Definitely anything can be put to wrong use, even the 'Holy' books. But the business that you know is against your Faith should be stopped.QED. |

Nolongthing1: This thread is a clear of why growth will take a long time, this is a good example of why our GNP is low when people can't separate their personal values from business retrogression sets in ...Please remove religious sentiments from your businessMy sentiments exactly! Nigeria is in this despicable state because most Nigerians are basically lazy & un-industrious & just hide under the cloak of religion as an excuse. Can't you see why the churches are always full? Why pastors are living in opulence,why everybody wants to become a pastor,evangelist,GO or something like that. Why churches keep springing up everywhere? Because people have come to realise that the average Nigerian does not want to work but expect a miracle of some sort where his god would bless him with bags of money! How? So these con men sell them false hope for a little fee of course & keep them in a trance like state,waiting for that big payday..sigh. I feel for my people |

Re: Can You Start A Business That Is Contrary To Your Faith? by lizlife(f): 5:29pm On Sep 10, 2013 |
Your business can not be separated from your believe. It is an extension of your life. So if a business doesn't tally with your faith then my advice is let it go no matter how profitable it may be. Life is not all about money and the things in ones possession. |
