oyeludef: Read the history of creation, he initially made a man and a woman right? Those days there were not enough resources, so let men ask you something, is it a sin to marry your sister? You will said yes, but why God permitted those people to marry there sisters like Abraham and the rest? All your acesstor marry more than two woman for your information, go read the life of jacob, he work for good seven years just to marry the love of his life but the man give him the first daughter, he now have to rework for another seven years, Back to your statement, he was talking about divorce. http://bible.com/1/mat.19.4-8.kjv And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Read the last statement: " because of the hardness of your heart suffer you to put away your" wives" Notice say he put the wives plural ;d Boy, you cant tell me nonsense, dont just quote half scripture and said this is it. The scripture is not meant to quote half way, I have did methodology, in the bible, even want to extend of studying Greek, So boy, go and study your Bible well |

I bet your pastor would make you realise that even the pharisees your brother askes jesus the same question and jesus told them that God made them one during creation and dat God creates Adam and eve and not Adam and eves. |

EggovinMma: See the thing about this divorce according to the bible The person that initiated this divorce is the one that shouldnt marry again According to the op The christian man should find out if the lady was thw one that initiated the divorce before going on with his plans The same thing applies to christian women too If a divorcee is coming your way find out who initiated the divorce in his previous marriage before agreeing to marry him This is only for people that believein God and his holybooks. |

STEVENcrack: Mind you, I dont have pastor and I am not a Shallow minded people like you, you have the right to question your believe. Back to your topic, http://bible.com/1/mat.19.4-8.kjv And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Why cant you just understand this simple statement. He heheheh talking about divorce not marriage. Read the last statement "moses because of the hardness of your heart suffer you to put away your" wives" That wives is plural. Yes he made man and human initially and said let them go and multiple. But he didn't put do not married more that one wife. I believe the ten commandment which is the building in block of your believe didn't even mentioned do not marry more that one wife, Guy backup your prove, even God itself tell David that if you ask for more wives I will give you, Menn, there is no good schooler in the bible here in Nigeria, Keep on deceiving yourself in church, your pastor is your good |

liquidmetall: So a divorced man shouldn't remarry if he initiates divorce to his ex wife who is a threat to his life? So if a man divorces a wife who on several occasions becomes a threat to his life, he shouldn't initiate divorce and remarry but wait for the moment when she commits adultery? *clapping slowly* This bible wey una dey read, I got my own understanding of it o.Make we just dey understand am differently. |

7. THE CHILDBIRTH AVOIDER: Do not marry a woman who is not willing to have children of her own. In the Christian worldview, there is absolutely no room for two married, biologically capable, human beings to remain intentionally child-less. If you are adverse towards having children, then there’s a simple remedy for that: single-hood. However, if God has called you to marriage, then He actually expects children. Both the New and Old Testaments are very clear on this teaching: “Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking ? Godly offspring” (Malachi 2:15). “Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control” (1 Timothy 2:15). So couples who decides not to have children will go to hell? Damn it, is being a christian this controversial. THIS IS SERIOUS! So Christians who are never readyfor kids are unbelievers? Hmmm |

EggovinMma: We all know adultery is the only ground on which you can divorce and remarry irrespective of who initiated it But the other ones that I mentioned the bible is against it whether "threat to his life or not" so far she didnt commit adultery and he divorces her then he won't remarry again but the lady is free to remarry and it also applies to women Please the understanding is there in the bible and clear for all to see. |

[b]4. THE FEMINIST: There’s no room within Christendom for the “Christian feminist.” Though women and men have equal value in the eyes of God (Gal 3:28), they certainly have different God- given roles. Any woman who tries to usurp her husband’s authority or even claims to be a co- leader with her man is gravely dishonoring the God who created her to be subject and obedient to her husband (Eph 5:22, Col 3:18, 1 Pet 3:1). Eve was distinctly created “for” man, a point that the apostle Paul makes abundantly clear in 1 Corinthians 11 when he writes, “For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” (1 Corinthians 11:8-9). Men, your wife is to be your “helper” (Gen 2:18)–not your leader and certainly not your equal in terms of authority. Look for a woman who agrees with you in this very vital God-ordained relational dynamic. 5. THE IMMODEST-DRESSER : Sexy might inadvertently catch your eyeballs, but it shouldn’t catch your heart. The way that a woman is willing to expose herself says much about her heart: “And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart” (Proverbs 7:10). The text in Proverbs explains that a woman will dress in a certain way to catch a certain type of man. Don’t be that man. Don’t be the fool who’s led by his hormones instead of the Holy Spirit. Remember: you want godly, not gaudy. 6. THE GOSSIPER/SLANDERER: Women may love to talk, but there’s wisdom in looking for a woman who speaks with wisdom. Gossip and slander are not good things to have in your marriage. Desperate housewives make for desperate husbands. “Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.” (1 Timothy 5:13)[/b] Well, I agree here. |
Re: 10 Women A Christian Man Should Avoid When Considering Marriage by Nobody: 6:20pm On May 31, 2015 |
[b] 9. THE CARIEER-FIRST WOMAN: Now, I want to clarify something here. There is nothing wrong with a woman who works (Acts 16:14), what’s wrong is a woman who puts her career ahead of her family. Modern society might hate to hear this, but God made men to be the providers and women to be the nurturers of the home (in most instances). It’s okay for a woman to be a doctor, attorney, or any other professional. However, if her career is coming at the expense of her home, then something is wrong. If day-care is raising her young children while she’s working, then something is wrong. I understand that there might be a season of life where the wife might have to be the main bread- winner due to her husband’s unemployment, but it should not be the desired norm. The woman ought to be willing (and even desirous–to some extent) to give up her job for the sake of raising her kids in the Lord. “So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander” (1 Tim 5:14). 10. THE DEVOTION-LESS WOMAN : Is the woman having a regular, daily devotional time with her God? If she doesn’t love the Lord now, chances are, she won’t love the Lord after marriage. (Don’t delude yourself–you’re not going to change her.) You want to marry a girl who has an intimate relationship with Jesus. Jesus (not you) has to be the first man in her life. Here are some good questions to ask: Does she have an active prayer life? Does she have a heart for evangelism? Is she hungry for God’s Word? What does her pastor think about her? Do you remember this account from Scripture: Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. [39] And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. [40] But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” [41] But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, [42] but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42 ESV) Marry the Mary (no pun intended). Such women have picked “…the good portion, which will not be taken away” from them. God be with you men. Strong families start with strong wives. Choose wisely and choose in the Lord[/b] I agree with number 9. |

lezz: 'As the husband is the head of his home, so is Christ the head of the church.' Husband will always be head regardless of the age difference. I'm still waiting for the biblical reference about the age issue. OP only posted lies. God could have created Eve before Adam. Adam came to life because God wanted someone (with strength) in his own image. Further, God said it is not good for a man to be alone (loneliness) and he gave him EVE. He didn't give him a younger sister to boost his ego. Until OP comes up with a relevant passage (not a useless research; that will later give you 10 reasons a man should not marry a virgin or a short woman). We all have our soft spots. Personally, I cannot marry a taller woman (but some can and the bible isn't against it). As far as I'm cool with my most wanted attributes, age has nothing to do with the relationship. |

liquidmetall: Ok. You bible requires knowledge to understand it and the holy spirit. The Bible also requires us not to act foolishly.The Bible isnt there to make us feel insecured, infact it gives us several choices where we can serve God in whatever situation and be hahappy.The world of God shouldn't make one sad, else it's purpose in our christian lives won't be full filled. |

lezz:Lol, I'm single but an 'older' woman (or age mate) would make a perfect match in so far as I get the most relevant attributes. Now to your question, God wanted someone who can effectively watch over the garden. A woman is often times called a weaker vessel so how can God commit such an assignment in the hands of a woman given the presence of dangerous preys (Serpent)? A woman will always be a woman whether she's younger, mate, or slightly older in age (not necessarily appearance or stature). A younger wife who earns more than her husband would still stylishly insult her husband. A younger wife who is more educated and brilliant would still condemn her husband at slightest provocation. The fact that she's slightly older in age doesn't mean she's bigger (in size), more intelligent or earns more. Ohhh sweet heavens!!!! Please try and date a slightly older babe (e.g. 26 vs. 27 or 28) and come back to share your testimony. Make sure you love her sincerely and watch the outcome. |
