frosbel:Sorry, Sir: which Ishaq are you quoting? From the Bible - so let us not confuse liberal movement with christainity or christian values "Say to the Israelites, 'If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his inheritance over to his daughter, '" Numbers 27:8 let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law, and if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for woman to speak in the church." 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 "When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening. anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. Whoever touches anything she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, he will be unclean till evening." Leviticus 15:19-23 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24) "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14) "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9) "Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman." (Eccles. 25:13) "A shameless [/b]woman shall be counted as a [b]dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord." (Eccles.26:25) "Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die." (Eccles. 25:22) |

Nothing is wrong with your fiancee. Moreover the bible is just a story book. Quite interesting book but becomes boring and repetitive multiple chapters talk about the same thing in contradictory manner. I read it inside out twice. Not a bad read. And I still study some of the mythology till today. Its fascinating |

Our people can be so shallow minded. A lot of them (including a cavalry of posters here) have already labelled the poor guy as an "evil satanist". When will we grow up from this "it's a must that we must all serve something" mentality? Like they say, people fear what they cannot understand and hate what they cannot conquer. @Poster I know that this post isn't fresh but i'll still drop a few pointers. This guy of yours sounds very much like me both in character and physique (i almost thought it was my woman that posted this when i started reading. . .lol). The only person i feel sorry for is the guy coz i can relate to what he's going through especially in our ever backward minded society where religion is rated before ethics and morals. Being religious doesn't make anyone a better person. It all boils down to the choices we make. After all, the armed robbers, kidnappers and ritualists are all "religious people" and always blame the devil after they have killed innocent people.Same with our corrupt leaders who loot the treasury with careless abandon and ask us to pray for the nation. That being said, you have a choice to make. You can either go against your parents wishes and marry this man or break up the relationship and live the rest of your life in regrets. Trust me, open minded/honest men like that are rare to find and you will definitely NOT find a religious man which such morals (mark my words). The choice is yours! |

Its a pity that the black race and Nigerians especially have been deluded by religion that they forget about morals and other positive attributes of people. I happen to be in a multinational group where out of about 20 people, you can identify atleast 5 different religious groups and they all live in peace because people dont give priority to religion in relating with others in their daily activities. Infact of my 2 best friends, one is an Atheist and the other is Hindu. The origin of religion can be traced back so it baffles me that people dont read history outside the bible, quaran, etc and believe their god is the all and all about existence where as it all farce. How do U know without opening your mind and reading wide? The black man never progresses because they believe that without god, they cannot achieve and refuse to plan. But the white man that doesnt believe in god, put all the right things in place because he knows that his tomorrow depends on how well he plans and not the love of god in his life. |

i agree, the bible is a good read with lots of nice tales that will captivate the african mind. jehovah the jewish deity parted the red sea so his people could walk on dry land then he clossed the sea on their enemies as they pursued jehovah destroyed all mankind save noah and his family who cruised around in their ship jehovah rained manna and quails down from heaven for his people for forty years and gave them water from the rocks but we have some of our own too oduduwa came down from heaven with a long chain which incidentally is available for inspection at ile-ife. what is the difference they wrote theirs down and called it the word of god and our own?paganism. as long as we believe that we will remain slaves for ever some indians believe one of their gods had a massive ejaculation(WOW) and that was how it all started and then there is the bit in the bible about menstruation being a sin requiring two pigeons each time for forgiveness. at 10-12 periods a yr dat is 20 pigeons a year x the 300000 women dat came out of egypt and only the sons of aaron moses' brother could sell pigeons. of course men could not touch their wives until they had paid up so guess what. they paid up fast. no wonder jesus was so angry when he got to the temple and flogged them all. now all that pigeon selling is over but they had a good run. maybe there is a is a god maybe there is not who knows but why import this jehovah dude he seems quite blood thirsty to me, there are many good african gods and i dont think they are as greedy as this jehovah |

Mmh, are you really a christian, cos i don't think you are,"be ye unequally yoked with unbelievers " listen i don't care if he is d best man in the world, without Christ his life is like a sheet of paper, my advice is dat you should'nt marry him,cos if you do i can lay a bet dat in the nxt 5 yrs you would reject God, and to ur church members, if they are nt strong in d scriptures and filled with d HOLY GHOST, they should nt go and preach to an unbeliever,cos they will make you doubt the existence of GOD, And remember "a carnal man cannot understand the things of the spiritual" |

I have seen some dumb posts here, but I am not going to make that the focus of my reply, stupid people don't anger me( I lied). I have been on nairaland for more than 6 months now and this would be the first post with my comment on it. I am an atheist, it means I don't believe in what I cannot see, that would include god, the devil, angels, demons, fairies and father christmas. I have a xtian girlfriend who loves me dearly, and I would do anything for her, she is not so christian anymore, she never really believed in the xtian myth and I guess falling in love with me was the tipping point on that one. So I guess that's where we are a bit different. When I met her parents I lied about my religion, am not about to walk the path of the guy who first claimed the earth was round. I think the ball is entirely in your court, I am sure he would not mind acting the part for the time being. If he does, well, I don't know then. |

3 years after, I'm wondering what became of this happy couple after the Nairaland fiasco. I read through the thread in parts and got the gist (even when the fiance came on board) but I wasn't hooked. I chanced it again while surfing old threads and began to read it in detail. A story well worth learning from. To summarize what I learnt: the need for communication, longsuffering and commitment.

You are in a very simple but difficult situation.... Most of the problem we have today is caused by ignorance of People towards what true relligion is all about and therefore caused Division in human mind. There is nothing like relligion except intelligence, which is spontaneous perception of things as they are.. We have been conditioned over time with a belief system which has crippled human intelligence.. Theist and atheist are thesame thing.. their differences is only of polarity... Love is the only cosmic energy that unites all wihtout any Division... As far as i'm concern regarding this issue, i will advise u to follow your heart.. Dont succumb to any pressure.. many of those Who talk about relligion dont really know what Relligion is all about... True relligion is for the Individual Who is curageous and intelligent not for the vegitable masses Who are deeply unconcious of their divinity. |
