Separate but don't sleep with no man, respect your marital vows, divorce if he won't repent after a set time, forget the marriage and move on. Leave, I repeat, leave before you carry another belle. Seeing their wives pregnant is the joy of poor man.

Merry100:
Even though I had to follow certain doctrines when I was younger, I have come to question some of them as they cannot be proven through the Bible. I am particularly curious about where the Bible specifically forbids wearing earrings. My parents are devout Christians, and they did not even pierce my ears, let alone allow me to wear earrings. However, one day I felt like wearing an earring, so I put on a magnetic earring and went out. Later in that day, I attended a Church program a friend invited me but when I got to the Church, I was asked to remove my earring or leave.

I am not trying to shade Christianity, not all Churches treat visitors that way, I was even surprised at the way I was treated that day. I am just specifically curious about where God condemned earring in the Bible? I accept that all Churches have their own doctrines but some of these Churches still use there doctrines to rate Christians from other Churches. Is wearing earring a sin or just some Church doctrines? I can't find any verse in the Bible that condemns earring. If you know any please indicate.

Did you ever ask your parents why they did not pierce your ears. I as a person believe that if it was needful, God would have make the holes for it like he did for the mouth (for food and to talk), for the nose (to breathe and smell), for the anus (to pass waste) and the private parts for procreation. Why are will busy drilling, panel-beating, and boring holes that are not necessary on our sisters and daughters.

in Genesis 35, Jacob had to remove the things that were "unclean" to God from his family before appearing before God at Bethel.

35 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.

4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

The question is. if God calls something unclean, who am I to call it clean. Can our ladies do without ornaments and still look beautiful? If the answer is yes, so remove all the "god" from off your body, God's holy temple as you are constantly in the presence of God so long as you have breath in you.

Genesis 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

Take off every potential god of any sort: rings, chains, bracelets, money, phone, spouse, fame, possessions, from your off you before God Himself grinds it and give you to drink.

The kind of shameless and heartless people who crave for power at all cost has been why this country is on autopilot. I am from Akwa Ibom state but this is one man I can never be proud of. These evils are devils.

Trust the government at your peril. There might other hidden agenda. In as much as I don't support the destruction, I also blame the govt cos something's might be fishy. Alaye fit want scam us and pocket the money o.

I'm sure guys are getting wiser even now that even girlfriends are in the ripping business too, referring to Israel Adesanya

As a man, the saga of Hakimi and his estrange wife keeps me pondering over issues bordering around marriages. In as much as many, mostly men, have been taking sides with the man, many women are at the bashing end in solidarity with his wife. I, for one, with the opinion that the marriage was not meant to be in the first place owing to the fact that the union lacked trust and openness. And I asked those on either sides why they got married in the first place. Having read through the reactions of both men and women with respect to the gains and losses of a failed relationship, I dare say that many of us marry for the wrong reasons. I've just read a story online, https://l.kphx.net/s?d=4665008736165099635&extra=Q1RSWT1ORyZMTkc9ZW4=. After reading this story amongst many others, I want to ask a crucial question. Why are women hell-bent on hastily milking the sacred cow of an ex instead of trying to fix their failed relationship? For women, do they engage a man for love or for financial exploit?

Jennyclay:
The most funny thing about this Hakimi saga is that broke, poor and wretched men that don't even have single property are the ones putting this matter on their head like gele . #1 they don't have, they can't even send common 5k to their girlfriend/wife to buy common body cream.

Shame!! Shame!! Shame!!!!!!

if the wife/girlfriend get shame, she should buy her things herself and not be a leech. "I love you" is not a criminal phrase. The poor men are borrowing cues from what they thought was not possible cos some of them were levelled by jezebels in the forms of wives and girlfriends

virginprincess:
A man that is stingy is a big No for me and also a man that talks too much is a bigger No for me,how i hate men that talks too much,i actually turn down a guy's proposal because he was a talktative that loves sitting in the mist of women not even his fellow men.

Please, can you explain what you mean by stingy? It's seems to me that ladies have a definition for stingy that guys are yet to understand

Then let the states totally manage their resources and not the FG managing and giving peanuts to the states all in the name of monthly allocation. Iranu

Jezebel, she is an example of what a good wife is, she supported her husband and was interested in his happiness.

VTJN:
Lol

All politicians are obviously the same only their foolish followers painting some good after bread and butter

Since they are the same, what do we do now that 2023 is just here?

Exodus 20:10
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

For me, this is the most misinterpreted scripture as the whole world has desecrated God's seventh day sabbath, saying the first day of the week is the sabbath. May God have mercy on us.

ibechris:
U cant buy property in your baby mama's name now...but I have purchased property on two occasions with my wife's name without any need to regret it. But u dare not with your baby mama or girl friend
I have kept all my life savings in my wife's personal accounts which many of u dare not do with your baby mama's out there.

On the day of my wedding I got a jeep from my brother but u can't get it from impregnating a baby mama.

Guy,I still maintain my stand,that marriage is good. I and my wife have made 6.6million naira in three months just for working together as partners in our side hustle. But u can never achieve that with your baby mama's.

Please, can I know the nature of the business you went into? A plea from a wannabi wealthy man. Thank you in anticipation.

Sammerboi:
In the entire SW every youth wanna be yahoo boy. Most start from school and after graduation they move to Lagos because of fame. The big boys in fraud either establish a record label, open a night club or start selling cars to cover for their I’ll gotten wealth.

it is called self employment since the government has decided to be useless.

So long as there a high rate of unemployment, illiteracy, and hunger, terrorism cannot end and they know it but they will rather keep us hungry and control us with hunger and poverty. African leaders are the most useless people on earth that have no business with reality. By the way, how successful was UN in the middle east. If there is an enemy to look out for, don't look no further with the UN in sight.

neyobills:
I do not support internet fraud in any guise whatsoever but I used to respect the Ogun state governor as a younger enlightened man more than this yarns,In economics there is something called comparative advantage,so they even organized an award night for best hacker,shouldn’t this be some good news to his ears,why not use the comparative advantage of this menace to turn around the fortunes of the state,this same yahoo guys can be turned into white hat hackers working for the government,hope he heard the news of what Russian hackers did to Ukraine’s foreign ministry website,In Physics there is scaler and vector quantities,yahoo guys are the scaler quantities,they have magnitude with no direction,the government should turn them to vector quantities by giving them direction,turn ogun state to the Silicon Valley of Africa,place them on a salary and teach them coding or programming,they will still be bad eggs tho but I believe many could be more useful this way,empower this guys in a positive direction,I hope these leaders know the Third World War would most likely be fought online,how is Nigeria preparing for this,hacking a country central bank database would be cheaper and more effective than buying submarines.

the idiots will never think of what will benefit the masses. You know why? They are controlling us with poverty and religion. They encourage us to pray so that God will turn the devil into a good man.

The useless government are the real yahoo boys cos they steal and lavish our commonwealth. I don't like what I hate and this nonsense he is saying will not help anybody if they will not tackle the real cause of crime. However, I am in no way supporting this Good for nothing urchins but the shameless government should take a larger part of the blame. If only by God's grace that we are not yahoo yahoo or yahoo plus gees. Can you imagine the number of graduates that leave school every year with no hope of getting jobs, no environment for business to thrive. The people in government only look to our side during election campaigns and offering a bowl of rice, slippers, umbrella, and #1000. And now they are condemning us for striving to survive by hook or by crook. They build prisons to jail "criminals" instead to solving the root cause of why people commit crime. We are frustrated, hungry, and endangered by the same government that should cater for and secure us. You can jail a supposed "criminal" for a while but God will jail you for a lifetime. The number is not high yet, you people should keep playing godforsaken politics until they take over the whole of Nigeria. Awon oniranu.

HarunaWest:
America and other nations keep poaching our best and we are happy about it. For someone that was trained from the cradle in Nigeria. The black man has a fundamental problem...

When will African countries, state governor's start giving her people indigenous scholarship? Imagine it was Rwanda offering this or Abia state government. We are just sick in the head and will always export raw materials only to get a fraction of finished products. A scholarship to the US is not an achievement if you ask me but its better of than staying in this shit hole. Nothing but retardation works here.

AntiMCU:
Seems like marriages these days is synonymous with sexual starvation.

At least, our forefathers had polygamy (options) for issues like this.

if not for sex, for what other reason should a person get married?

I have a lasting solution though it is a bit expensive. DM me asap.

ExudeLoveToAll:
You only look at her expenses without looking at the guy's expenses, this is ridiculous. The guy has the major chunk of the expenses when compared to hers, she is expected to bring just 12.5% of her monthly income for child care trust fund amounting to 10 0000k while the guy brings in 13.33% of his monthly income for child care trust fund. Looking at that list the young man will incur more than 70% per cent of the cost to run the family.

I really don't understand why a lady will attend an institution of higher learning, pay school fees just like their male counterparts, shout gender equality and equal career opportunity between both genders. Then she gets the career boost and then expects one party to foot her bills single-handedly, it's better she resigns and files for a housewife position, to whom much is given much is expected.

The same scenario happened with my friend's elder sis, she decided to quit because she does not want to be financially responsible for her would be family, she wants to be an adult baby 'my money is my money and yours is our money'. If not the mum who educated her on how she should build her family with her husband both financially and otherwise she would have quit the relationship because she thought she found a MUGU WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF HER AS AN ADULT BABY.

The better you folks accept financial responsibility the better, if you don't get married won't you pay your house rent, buy a car for your self and take care of all your expenses.

These are issues that needed to be discussed before marriage.

Op should thank God he didn't marry her when she was out of job (this type of issue no for dey and ) op would have been a beast of donkeys. Then, she got a job after marriage and this discussion came, are you thinking what is in my head? DiVORCE is not an oversight.

dingbang:
you are definitely right. 300k looks like big money but when bills start piling up, it will finish even before a month.

And where problem will start is when you collect personal loan against salary.


Bros you need to look for a woman earning higher, that is your best bet. You dont need to be chasing the wrong things this year else you will enter into debt even with your 300k.


Your cap should be a lady with salary of 150k least upwards.

I'm sure op's plan is subject to amendments? He does not necessarily need a woman but a woman who is ready to make sacrifices for the family irrespective of how much she earn. That she called him a stingy man is laughable. I think ladies have a different definition for stingy and will use it for any man who cannot provide what they cannot offer themselves.

Calebility:
Chairman why not ask her to suggest her own way of supporting the family first.
That will help you to tell the kind of person you're dealing with.

Your money is her money, her money is hers and hers alone.

Bros, the lady just wanted who she will milk dry. Op only brought a proposal that if she had the intension to contribute she would have discussed with him and make adjustments where necessary. Rather, she was looking for a simp and a sacred cow to feast on. You can only ask a person wey want talk questions, no be don run away.

phemmyfour:
You're quoting the old testament when you have improved instructions as given by Jesus in the new testament. No day is meant for work or rest anymore as declared by the Lord of the Sabbath Jesus Christ

The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” [Jesus] answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:24-28

The Sabbath was given to ENFORCE worshipping of God at least a day in a week for Israelites. As a Christian, who has a better understanding and relationship with God, you don't need LAW/ENFORCEMENT or a Dedicated day to know that you need to worship your God

I'm sure you the sabbath law was not a stand alone law. So, if you're saying we don't need any law to know the day of worship then stealing, murder, fornication, having other gods should not be a sin.

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:24-28

By that statement, Jesus was only trying to let them know that they bothering people with traditions and rituals on the Sabbath that God did not send them. The Sabbath was made for man to enjoy and not to be a burden to man.

Raymondfayowole:
Okay. Let's get some things clear

First you are saying the disciples came together for a ordinary meeting and not for worship. That's false bro

Disciples came together on the first day of the week to "break bread". "Breaking bread" is likely a reference to the Lord's Supper in 1Co 10:16-17.

The church at Corinth was coming together to eat the Lord's Supper, though they were abusing it in 1Cor 11:17-22.

Instructions concerning the collection suggest their coming together was on the first day of the week - cf. 1Co 16:1-2

Secondly, Paul utilized the Sabbath during his evangelistic efforts - Ac 13:14,42,44; 16:13; 18:4. It was his custom whenever he came to a new city - Ac 17:1-3
He knew the Jews would be there, and he sought to teach them about Jesus Just like he went to the market place to reach others - Ac 17:17

Same Acts 13 you quoted, if you read vs.45, the Jews were filled with envy because of the crowd Paul and Barnabas were able to pull because of thier teaching. The Jews spake against the teaching of Paul saying it was contradicting and blasphemy. Just read the entire chapter for better understanding.

Paul taught that the Law of Moses, including the Sabbath, had come to an end. That Jews died to the Law when they became Christians - Ro 7:4-7

That Jesus ended the Law with its ordinances through His death - Ep 2:13-16; Col 2:14. That the Law and ordinances like the Sabbath and circumcision should not be bound on others, especially Gentiles - Col 2:16-17; Ga 5:1-4 That a new, superior covenant had replaced the old - 2Co 3:6-11; cf. He 8:6-13; 9:15



We read same bible right? Lets focus on the bible first before we talk about history and personal opinion.

1. Breaking bread has nothing to do with the Lord's supper. Please show me their biblical relationship. As acts 2:46 explains that breaking bread means eating ordinary food with no extra connotation and in acts 20:7 states that preached while they are their food.
2. 1Cor 11:17-22. was particular about abusing the Lord' supper and not the bread they break daily (food)
3. That Paul told them in 1Co 16:1-2 to gather what they had on the first day of the week does not in anyway mean he instructed them to worship on that way as that was not their custom. Besides, I want to be believe he must have made that statement in the church on the sabbath that they should gather and keep what they had on the the first day of the week. He couldnt have said that during service on sunday morning.
4. Secondly, Paul utilized the Sabbath during his evangelistic efforts - Ac 13:14,42,44; 16:13; 18:4. It was his custom whenever he came to a new city - Ac 17:1-3. Bros. please don't bring human wisdom here. The bible never told us that worshipping on the sabbath as his custom in new cities. Are you trying to say that even Jesus only kept the sabbath as a custom in new cities? I fault you on this big time.
5. He knew the Jews would be there, and he sought to teach them about Jesus Just like he went to the market place to reach others - Ac 17:17. You made this seem like they were only going to the synagogue just to argue with the Jews on the sabbath and not to worship and teach what was the truth, right? This is so wrong.
6. Same Acts 13 you quoted, if you read vs.45, the Jews were filled with envy because of the crowd Paul and Barnabas were able to pull because of their teaching. The Jews spake against the teaching of Paul saying it was contradicting and blasphemy. Just read the entire chapter for a better understanding. Yes, they were angry because Paul's teachings exposed their infamous lies and gimmicks .
7. Paul taught that the Law of Moses, including the Sabbath, had come to an end. That Jews died to the Law when they became Christians - Ro 7:4-7. This is a lie from the pit of Hell. If it is not, why is killing, adultery, idolatry, stealing, dishonor, covetousness regarded as sins today even in our societal laws? He invariably told us that without law there will be no sin so if the law point to sin in our lives, then by believing in the power of Christ's resurrection from death, that sin should die in our lives so that we can bear good fruits. Please, read those verses again with different versions of the bible if possible. He even asked "is the law sin?" and his response was God forbid.
8. That Jesus ended the Law with its ordinances through His death - Ep 2:13-16; Col 2:14. That the Law and ordinances like the Sabbath and circumcision should not be bound on others, especially Gentiles - Col 2:16-17; Ga 5:1-4 That a new, superior covenant had replaced the old - 2Co 3:6-11; cf. He 8:6-13; 9:15
Are you circumcised? What are the ordinances? They do not refer to disobedience to God's law but the rituals (animal sacrifice) and practices of men (Col 2:22) that the teaching and the death of Christ had abolished (Col 2:17). Paul never condemned the circumcision of the skin but he rather said the circumcision (the cleansing through the blood of Christ) of the heart was more important to the Gentiles who did not believe in the circumcision of the foreskin nor the sabbath, nor did they regard what was clean and unclean. Mind you, these people were just evangelized to as such Paul cautioned that as born again or newly born babes in the Lord, they should not be bothered with the Jewish laws as they will learn and grow with time. Ga 5:1-4, here he told us that fleshly circumcision is not a ticket to heaven nor salvation. Not a bad thing in itself but one can still go to hell after the circumcision of the flesh.
9. He 8:6-13; 9:15. Can you please clearly differentiate between the old and the new covenant? the next in Hebrew says the old law was written on stones and since our father disregarded it out of ignorance, making excuses since the table of stones were not in their hands as at when they broke the laws of God, and God did not overlook and killed them (for the wages of sin is death). Now he said in the new covenant (those same was that were written on stones) will now be living in our hearts (correct me if i am wrong) so that we cannot claim ignorance as God will not overlook them.

Reno has said the correct thing.
