Abeg make I hear word , u don come again , even PATIENCE no get patient

The names we give our children matters a lot.
Names have a serious part to play in our lives as an individual. So choose a good name for your children

Stop deceiving yourself.. Upbringing and environment moulds a man..The guy terrorising my neighbourhood is called Abraham.

mariodko190:
Yes I’m planning to

also plan to name ur child pharaoh methusella goliath if u give birth to a boy, u knw people have nt been naming their sons that

.....and how many 'people' have u met o jare?

mariodko190:
This question has been ringing in my head, the fact that she doesn't have a good record in the Bible, what other reasons people are afraid

That's true even the so called luminati will still use Sweet names to deceive people

I know a pretty Delilah. The last I heard of her she slept with her best friend's husband on their wedding night birthing triplets nine months later..

That said girls with other names have done worse. A neighbour called Ruth killed her husband with acid. Yet the biblical Ruth was a virtuous woman.

Delilah means delicate in both Hebrew and Arabic. Once a not very popular name because of the biblical character Delilah many parents now look pass the biblical stigma. In the US it has griown to become one of the top names starting with D.

Off record Anini wasn't named Barnabas yet the difference between him and a rat was the position of the tail.. Upbringing and environment affect people more than the names the bear. Many people called Jesus in Southern America dont know the name of the first book of the Bible..

You're the few reasonable people in Nigeria... The damage religion has done to Africans can't be repair.

I think people need to graduate at least from Secondary school before they are introduced to religion.

Ask us after you name your son goliath

grandlexuz:


Very funny. That's all you know of the meaning of delicate. My wife is a very delicate woman..
After the surgery my once hardworking wife has become delicate.
Tell me how breakable she is from those sentences

TOPCRUISE:
Delilah is a slay queen name like Jezzy Baby

The same question goes to you OP, why will you be elated and be delighted to answer if someone called a Lion but angry if they call you a goat?

grandlexuz:


Yet you labelled her Philistine despite knowing the bible didn't say where came from. If she was Philistine then the Philistine elders wouldn't need to pay her a bribe to get Samsung's secret. Afterall it would have been service to her people.

That said the bible didn't say she was Philistine so don't call her Philistine..

Yet you said she is FROM Sorek despite knowing the bible did not say that?
Did the Bible tell you that Sorek was NOT Philistine territory?


At no point did I say she was described as Philistine in the bible.

Your argument that because she was Philistine she would or should not have been paid is illogical
Why call it a "BRIBE" ? It was payment for services rendered
Was Judas not paid

I suggest you Google the word HISTORICITY you might learn something

let us get one thing straight
For me the bible is just a story /history book of the Hebrews . So me referencing the bible does not mean I accept it unquestioningly or that I even believe this story ever happened. I do not have that burden let us just assume for argument sake that it happened
Bible scholars are of the view that she was Philistine.

Yeah, there are robbers, prostitutes, killers bearing Joseph, Ruth, Mathew, Abraham and so on...

The only thing that impacts your life are your environment, family, friends, people you associate yourself and society you grew up in... Your name has ZERO impact in your life.

If you were born in Iraq you'll be slamming your head somewhere far away in the East...

Lame...

grandlexuz:


Lame...

What is your point? That she was from Sorek and she was Hebrew?

Do not generalise because there are many delilah scattered around the world

Which people.

mansakhalifa:


Well, you haven't come across any. Now, that's what you should have said.

There are hundreds of girls out there going by that name.

very true

THE NAME JACOB MEANS SUPPLANTER AND AS LONG AS JACOB THE TWIN BROTHER OF ESUA WAS JACOB, HE WAS A CROOK BECAUSE NAMES HAVE MEANINGS AND SPIRITS. CHECK THE WAY HE CHEATED HIS BRO ESAU AND THE WAY HE CHEATED HIS FATHER INLAW LABAN. BESIDES THOSE THAT OUGHT TO NAME THEIR DAUGHTERS DELILAH ARE NOT CHRISTIANS BUT MUSLIMS THE DESCENDANTS OF ISHMAEL BECAUSE THE WOMAN WAS A PALESTINIAN NOT AN ISRAELITE.

U can bell the cat with ur daughter and ur son Judas or Satan. Stupid question on Sunday morning.

That is a. Disgusting name just like Judas Iscariot, Goliath and many others, and it is not about the name sha, it is about the character and how the person control hos or her anger when he or she is face with situation.

What has synonyms got to do with names??

The Bible was not written in English

Delilah is an Anglicized form

"Delilah" the character in the Bible WAS NOT HEBREW she was a "Philistine"> We know that the Hebrews and Philistines were neighbours and they could communicate.
The Hebrew language was always under pressure from its neighbours and became extinct gradually
Jesus did not speak Hebrew. He spoke Aramaic. So we know that many Semites share a lot of manes in common but may have pronounced them differently e.g Yousef, Moshe, Abraham , Sulayman etc

The point of interest here is not anglicised names. The name Delilah has a Hebrew origin even though she is a Philistine. And there are equally a number of foreigners with Hebrew names too. It is also not clear if their was a language attributable to Philistia.

Africans don't jokes with name and it's also biblical. The meaning of our names have a lot to do with who you ll eventually become

name giving to people doesn't matter, wot of people names dat are called Joseph Peter david John an etc are armrobbers kidnapers.so it doesn't matter all dat matters is 4 us to pray an ask god to help
us to live right

Muslims are the ones that are supposed to name their daughters Delilah not christians. Delilah was a palestinian, a descendant of Ishmeal like muslims of today.

Change begins with you, you can ask APC.

How do you know it has a Hebrew Origin

If a name can be anglicized why can't it be Semitized?

aribisala0:

You said Delilah was Philistine and I asked for biblical evidence. You still have not been able to provide biblical evidence she was Philistine. I said she was from the valley of Sorek. You said Samson only met her there. True so. Yet the valley of Sorek was not philistine territory...

I said if she was Philistine the elders wouldn't need to approach her to pay 1100 pieces of shekel EACH to get Samson's secret. In Judges 14 when Samson gave a riddle to the Philistine all the needed to do to get the answers from his wife was threaten to burn their house.. A threat the followed through when Samson killed some Philistine as revenge for his wife given to another man..

You argued saying Judas also got paid for betraying Jesus. A very illogical argument. Unlike the Philistines coming up to Delilah to offer mouth watering bribe of 1100 shekels from each elder, Judas WENT to the chief priest to ask for how much he be paid if he handed up Jesus to them.

All this Ignorant Apostles..
