I kno sabi wetin cause dem divorce but assuming itz infidelity.Do you think Divorce is the only way out?Secondly,how has she helped her husband by this action?Can she claim she is anyway different from ladies who never read the bible, whose inspiration is what read online or Nairaland Romance Section?A Christian's Mirror is the Word of God not what the world thinks.We live for Christ and not ourselves.

Assuming it is infidelity then there is aa more fundamental problem because the person is posturing as a person of God and raking in a lot of money on false pretenses so there is a matter of fraudulence deception lying and so on. Basically everything is built on LIES and one person decided not to continue living a lie

Why do you think it's not God's word?

omonnakoda:
How do we know they are the word of God. The Quran too makes the same claim why should I believe any of them? They are just claims made by men. God has never come to confirm any of this.

My question remains unanswered Who was it that authorized or sanctioned the 27 books of the New Testament as scripture and when
DO YOU KNOW? yes or no

derecho:

I do not know whether it is God's word.I do not know that God has any word. When people claim that it is I ask how they know that is what my brain is for ..............
I really want to know all I know is people say it was written by men inspired by God but when I try to follow that up I meet a dead end and a lot of abuse.Very Strange.
Another man Muhammad also came with his own and said God sent him,very odd!!
How do I know this is true.In this case one can even be killed for asking but the question remains unanswered. So I see no evidence of God's word but if I must accept anything I better accept the stories of my ancestors that has some resonance and meaning to me not imported stories like Jonah sleeping in the belly of a fish or Jesus feed 5000 with 2 loaves. We have our own stories too......

You have been operating under some misconceptions about the Bible,and i want to open the way open the books and provide facts and help you process them.
The 27 books of the New testaments were sanctioned by God in a naturally occuring manner. You may be wondering when and how this came to be. But be mindful of the fact that God is not human and as such din't expect Him to act the way human do. He operates in mysterious ways beyond human comprehension.
There are certain things you can't just elucidate on becos they are supernatural.

Do you know the difference between a person who doesn't know yet wants to argue and a person who sincerely wants to know?

OK where did this happen was there a date ? do you know yes or no simple question stop beating about the bush
Place ,date yes /no don't know Simples?

If you don't know I can tell you God did not do it was done by men in Europe to be precise
in the year 325 AD.

Knowledge comes through debate . Sound knowledge always welcomes scrutiny and debate

This was done between 50 to 62 AD in the first century

The New Testament as you know it was not inspired by God Rather it was edited and approved by a Roman Emperor and by what was the predecessor of the Catholic Church. God had very little to do with it

Great,but what will be your basis?

Xbox222:

No it was done precisely in 325 AD and that is the problem . long after Jesus and his companions had died by a political body sort of like our National Conference of 2014

Ferya:


Well said, God bless your marriage!

Thanks dear.

Where is your source?

If heaven and hell are real and where you go depends on believing the new testament then you owe yourself a duty to research thoroughly where it came from

There is fundamental problem with the authorship of the new testament. Many of its alleged authors were illiterate. Illiterate in their native tongue and yet we are asked to believe they wrote in GREEK> WHY? why Greek.When did they learn it

Xbox222:
Where is your source?

You are the "Christian" and do not know this? What then is your belief based on ,hearsay? Is that what you will tell your God?

derecho:

If there is no basis there is no knowledge and we are at the point of no knowledge. You cannot just manufacture "facts". Better to admit ignorance and continue searching

My friend you can't argue about what you can't grasp.

derecho:

I do not believe it or disbelieve it particularly. My view is it is irrelevant to me as an African from the perspective of seeking truth. I believe we have more relevant stories and oral traditions.
The old testament does not make any claims to "Being the Word of God"

My sister Forgiveness is a Command,for those interested in going to heaven.Our Forgivess should not have limit.Remember,the 70*7 times?No man or woman can serve God acceptably without Grace.
There are people with worse situations yet they came out better.
If we faint in the days of adversity,our strength is small.
Do you know God will never allow a temptation greater than us come our way?However,we may choose to fail God.Check 1 Cor.10:13.

I think u misunderstand me, her forgiven been overuse j might to say he's misusing it, now divorcing him doesn't mean she has not forgiven him.

Even the Bible doesn't condemn divorce if the basis is adultery.

I am sure this makes a lot of sense to you

omonnakoda:

Friend,I prefer to discus than argue.I learnt that only fools argue.Why I posed those questions is I want to know if there is a basis to even discus.
For me,it's unnecessary/futile to discus with a person who just want to argue on what he doesn't know

I chase the real substance and not shadows. Having a knowledge of the sanctioned date of the new testament is not the nitty-gritty of christianity; obeying injunctions of the Bible.
Is high time we all focuse on the essential premise of christianity and other areas of our endeavour and stop majoring on the minor.
By the way i wanted you to back up your claims with viable evidence and proves as i have always done

omonnakoda:
You are the "Christian" and do not know this? What then is your belief based on ,hearsay? Is that what you will tell your God?

Truth can be like realizing at 40 the person you have always called father is not really your father. So it is with religious indoctrination. People are fed a diet of doctrines about things they never witness or experience to the extent that they will kill or die for their beliefs

Pentecostal Christianity vs Islam
Both believe in Judgment and then heaven or hell after death

The doctrines of both of them are such that . In the Christian teaching Muslims are hell bound both of them cannot be right though they both could be wrong .

The Muslim belief system is based simply on the idea that God gave Muhammad the Quran and the Quran is perfect. Now you either believe Muhammad or not.
The Christians on the other hand do not even know who wrote their books and just accept what they have heard few have ever done even the most basic research but would gladly condemn their own priceless African legacy as idolatry. People fail to realize that religion too is an instrument of political control and colonization. You cannot understand Christianity or Islam without study the politics of the countries they were born in from contemporaneous records.
These days government use the likes of CNN to do those tasks because people have woken up. We in Africa are still sleeping

That is a different matter entirely. How did we start? you continue jumping about like a butterfly and fail to focus. We started with your claim that the bible New Testament was written by men inspired by God and I asked you where this claim was . That is how we got here . The point is they were NOT inspired by God and the authors never claimed that .Peter or the author of Peter 2 Never said his letter was scripture and almost certainly that book was not written by Peter the companion of Jesus
My point is simple the 27 books were written at different times and places and remained separated until 325 AD when the Roman Emperor brought them together in one volume and so the New testament was born. Was he inspired by God>

It is very easy use Google I will not do your work for you.You can easily search out my claim as i am sure others will

My sis,i perfectly understand you.That was why i reminded you of 70*7 times in a day to debunk the limit for forgiveness.A child of God knows God frowns at Divorce.Even in the case of adultery,we still hv the choice of forgiveness.
For me it is difficult to understand that you have forgiven a person you didnt reconcile with.Maybe you can help me

Is your assertion and as such you should be the one to spice it up, unless you are not sure of your purported claims.
If we were in the court of Law will you tell the judge to dig out the evidence on his own?
