LordReed:


Those using God to call women and by extension marriage cursed are liars. God in this passage rebukes Peter thrice for calling what He has blessed, unclean.



Yet we have here this fellow calling women cursed and telling us marriage is no longer sanctioned by God or whatever nonsense meanwhile



Judge for yourself by the scriptures if what this fellow is spewing here matches up with the Word of God.

jadelyn007:
Op you are a very lazy fellow!!!

So you want to run away from marriage so that you can be as dirty as you want to be

ColinAdua:


Thank you so much for becoming a little bit mature in not using abusive words. It seems your senses are coming back bit by bit.

Meanwhile, go and read your Bible. Women were cursed by God in Genesis 3:16 and since then check the number of men they brought sorrows in the Bible.

Then turn to real life, look around your neighborhood and at marriages.

If you can tell yourself the truth, tell yourself the truth. If can't that's your business.

I have made a choice never to share in the sorrows God said He will multiply for them.

Well, that curse is lifted up from anyone of them that sincerely turns to Jesus Christ(like my angelic Mum) and give her life totally and truthfully to Him.

Is anyone of you willing today, to give her life to Jesus and be delivered from the cursed way of life including near unclothedness?

Lizabeth25:
LOL.....dream on...being single means, one remain childless and when he/she dies, nobody will bother him/herself to give him/her a proper burial.

pcguru1:


The dead cannot say thank you, they care less how they were buried because it doesn't matter, nothing matters.

Lizabeth25:
Nothing matters to the dead...but to the living, it does matters how that person was buried!!!

pcguru1:


The living always attach to much meaning to futile things. Burial wake, burial anniversary. It's just things we do to make ourselves comfortable or finding meaning in things. But we have to do them

ColinAdua:


The way you quote Bible which you don't even understand makes me wonder whether you delight in deceiving yourself or you read your own Bible upside down.

See people who want to get married and happy in marriage they can't even tell themselves the truth.

Hebrew 13:4 marriage is honorable in all......

Is that the only thing you see there, Bible teacher?

Bros, there's a condition attached to that marriage being honorable. Please look again and stop taking Bible out of context to support your obsessions.

You don't even understand English and you're arguing with me if "consider" mean "forbid" to you. Mr. Bible teacher.

Moreover, read Matthew 19:10 to 12 very well.
Take note of "he who is able to accept it(celibacy), let him accept it" Jesus Christ said this with His own mouth.

Read 1 Corinthians 7 very well especially verse 8, 26, 28, 29, 32, 35, 37, 38(NKJV).

Take note of;-
"it is GOOD for them if they remain even as I am"(v8).

"It is GOOD for a man to remain as he is"(v26).

"Nevertheless SUCH will have trouble in the flesh, but I want spare you(v28) "SUCH here means married people"

That unnecessary trouble is what Apostle Paul is preaching that we should avoid. And it's the same thing that am preaching to you guys to consider avoiding too. Because we are now in the last days and in a terrible " present distress"(v26).

Present feminism, present selfishness, present worldliness, present last days etc.

IF YOU HAVE EARS, HEAR. DON'T LET YOUR EMOTIONS RULE YOU.

Now you have proven how dull you are. Let me help since your brain cannot function properly to find the meaning of forbidding in a dictionary:



Read through this and educate your dull brain.

Jorussia:
OP i quite understand your frustrations about marriage, but i don't think its a enough reason not to get marry.I have strong reservations about how females ( esp Nigerians)carry the issue of marriage on their heads.I don't see anything that is very "special" about marriage.Nigeria ladies just feel that marriage is perhaps now the most important in life.I am somebody who have big ambitions that i beg God day and night to help me fulfil. At 25,i have Nv had a girlfriend, because apart from the fact that i don't want to sin against God,most ladies i have met(esp when i was still d higher institution) nv fitted to my ambition. Most Nigerian ladies are dull and generally promiscuous. I want to be a scientist celebrated the world over, so marriage can nv come to my mind now.I hate ladies who are dull,unfortunately, they are the most we see every day.I thank God,who have giving me d grace not to be acting like a Nigeria guy,who thinks mainly about having sex.I have told my parents,that i will start thinking about marriage 10years from now.

ColinAdua:



Bro, please am not frustrated about marriage because I have not been there before. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED! So how can I be frustrated with something I don't even want to try?

Please take note and rephrase your thesis.

But why would you like to marry people you think are dull?

ColinAdua:



I read through your long unnecessary post, but I couldn't see where FORBID was defined as CONSIDER.

My thread says; Reasons why you should "CONSIDER" o o. It didn't say reasons why marriage is forbidden.

Please look again.

pcguru1:
Personally I think this points are crap, sadly I process things by logic and logically it does make a lot of sense in terms of population control, resources management, and control of finances lets not kid ourselves . Marriage costs a lot personal sacrifices, heavy costs (bills, fees, alimony, family events) and also emotional costs like cheating. Marriage is a personal thing I don't believe its compulsory. Truth is I like that lifestyle am neither married nor even have a girlfriend at 29. But to be frank I don't think I can live my life like that anymore. Why ? Because I will end up killing myself. Quoting marina and the diamonds immortal, I want to be significant to someone else, I want to be loved and remembered by people when I go. Because if not what are we living for ? We might as well be dead. Anyway which PS3 games u get

Jorussia:
I didn't say all girls are dull.

ColinAdua:
It seems, I have been very critical to the womenfolk.

Please, I don't hate women. Women are very beautiful, sweet and attractive to behold, but I don't want to have any emotional relationship with anyone of them, at all, marriage or otherwise.

The issues are; the selfishness, the attitudes, the pride, the arrogance, the foolishness, which leads to distractions, stress, clutters, clusters, arguments, wastefulness, anger, hate, malice, bitterness, bickerings, disorganizations etc.

Hence, I prefer singlehood for life and encourage it.

If you feel offended as a result of my stance, believes, writings and beckonings to my fellow guys.

Please I sincerely apologize; SORRY. Kindly forgive me, but I have to present the truth as I see and understand it. And I have freedom to express myself.

God bless you all.

When you're dead, you're dead burial or no burial, you don't know any more.

Someone who's in hell will even be crying "go and tell those people to stop that rubbish burial and repent"

LOLS!!

ColinAdua:
I am 36+, single, loving it and will love to be single for life, forever. Infact, I have decided to be single forever. Today, I just looked back and I feel so happy, taking this decision 10 years ago during my NYSC.

My life is so clutter free and stress less when compared with those of my married peers. I said this is definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Because my life is so peaceful and predicted. I work only on my business and starting post graduate studies.

I feel I need to celebrate my 10 years taking this decision to stay unmarried and single(MIND YOU I DON'T DO BOYFRIEND - GIRLFRIEND RUBBISH. I BELIEVE ITS A SIN).

In celebrating, I think it good to encourage more young men to embrace this way. Just like Bible says; "He that is able to receive it(singleness), let him receive it"(Matthew 19:12). You can read from verse 10 for better understanding.
