Marriage is not a scam. Your wife is either dressing up for someone or could be doing it as a way of filling in a void. Self control varies between individuals, how often do you see her? Try to unite your family so that you can have a better understanding of situations and be able to make an informed decision

Lmfao! Literally!

Why should you miss him. Am I not enough!?

Dear OP, you're not ready for life yet, trust me... if this is how you intend to be policing your significant other about.

These things aren't always that serious. Yes, you're overreacting! I talk to my both exes.

One is always sending pictures of us from way back whenever he stumbles on it. Just two weeks ago, I found one inbetween my books... from 4 years ago and I sent it to him. We laughed over it and all.

But trust me, there's nothing there. Perhaps, if I had a boyfriend like you and he had seen our conversations, he would have been jealous or upset. But really, there's nothing between us. I blocked him on Whatsapp but when either of us calls, we can stay on the phone talking for well over an hour.

So, just imagine how ordinary "I miss you" is getting you worked up.

But then again, I don't think I've ever told either of my exes that I miss them.

You are unconditionally stupid, no pun intended.

My brother, don't mind these farm tools, that's how most of them behave, you have done well, you don't have to tolerate any body's bullshit.

Bad boys are not marriageable, unless you want to be miserable, stuck with a manchild. They're good only for momentary fun, when you're not ready for marriage either. I don't think any sane woman can look at a bad boy & see a lifelong partner. Those are the kind of guys that we ladies also mess around with for a while, get fed up with their shìt & leave them to be someone else's headache.
They get left behind because as a person you're supposed to evolve & mature. That is part of life. It is what life does to you. So if you refuse to grow up, your shtick will. It'll get old & eventually stop being fun.

Tell me you are joking, after dem Don fvck una loose alignment

Hakeem12:
The real question here is: “does the New Covenant require tithing, or do many Christians require it?” The New Testament teaches Cheerful Giving, but, unfortunately, many Christians still insist on tithing.

The problem with Christian Biblical interpretation is that one needs to take the Biblical passages in their textual and historical context. Much of the support for tithing comes from the Old Testament and the Old Mosaic Covenant, and the New Testament and the New Covenant. Malachi 3:8, is in the Old Covenant and applies to Mosaic Covenant Israel, not the New Covenant Church. In fact, there are only two or three references in the New Testament to tithing, and those passages refer to Christ rebuking the Jewish leaders for faithful tithing, while ignoring the most important things.

Many Christians take tithing out of context in other ways. Tithing was of agricultural produce and livestock. It was not of money. Tithing was to support the tribe of Levi, which could not have land of its own. Tithing was part of the Jewish tax system to support them and Temple worship. Tithing was also supposed to help the poor, not oppress them.

In the New Covenant, there is no tithing of the land. There is no Levitical priesthood. All Christians are priests. Neither the mode or need for tithing are relevant any more.

But no all Christians are priests in the order of Melchizedek

What happens when he runs out of money, she goes back to being a cheerful giver. She was only with the guy because he probably was the only one who gave her attention, the others paid for sex, which means she's a LovePeddler. Nobody goes into a football match handicapped, wise up

30 years don reach, na to start give inspirational stories and speech

GLYCOLYSISS:
OK sir...
Looking forward to your updates.

Let me take you back a little ;
The Jews as a people had a very important place for Chronology whereby everyone was the son of someone and so on. Even Adam had a Chronology(Gen 5) but Melchizedek was neither the father of anyone or the son to anyone, he neither had a beginning nor an end, unlike Jesus whose Chronology is in the gospel of Matthew. And that's why the priesthood is that of Melchizedek and not christ but the truth is Jesus and Melchizedek are one and the same because he's the High priest of the most high God(Heb 4:14-16, Gen 14:18-20).
Back to the apostles, they were empowered by Jesus at the last supper through bread and wine just as Melchizedek to eat and drink of him, thereby laying a foundation to the continuation of the everlasting priesthood but the apostle also are dead so who takes it up from there? The Bishops.

In every church the apostles planted, they left a Bishop in charge as a representative, those Bishops in turn ordained through the laying on of hands just as Moses(Numbers 27) when he transferred his power and authority to Joshua, apostles (Acts 6:6, Acts 13:3; and 1 Timothy 4:14) and as it was consistently used throughout scripture. And that's why there's what's called "Apostolic succession" whereby those who are successors to the apostles have the same power and authority given to them by Jesus at the last supper and these are the bishops validly ordained today, maintaining that unbroken line.

So you see, pentecostal churches do not have people with such authority so do not have anything like holy communion which is simply a translation of the Eucharist from the Hebrew version of the Bible.

The common priesthood has never been sufficient and that's why there have always been people selected from among men to act as representatives in offering sacrifices and gifts and that's why a priest acts in "persona christi" when he offers the sacrifice of the Eucharist, repeating the same words of christ, not some conjured gibberish because christ gave the command when he said "Do it in remembrance of me".

Does the origin of Nigeria matter when U are frustrated and life seems unfair?

Does it matter when you don't know where your next meal is coming from?

Does it matter when U feel rejected, abandoned and uncertain about the future..?


Well, For those who wish to know.

I know someone who can give U everlasting Peace, Joy and rest of mind, his name is Jesus.. Jesus Christ is the answer..

Accept Jesus Christ, surrender to him, rededicate yourself to Him and make Him your personal Lord and Saviour. Accept Him now, for next minute may be too late..

If U want to give your life to Christ or If U have giving your life to Christ before but has taking it back.. This is the time to rededicate your life...

Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. When you don't know where you are coming from, then where do you know you are going to?

I know I wouldn't marry someone who's not

GLYCOLYSISS:
@the bolded,what actually made the pastors already disqualified & not empowered to offer holy communion ?
And what actually made the Rev,fathers already chosen & empowered to offer holy communion ?
And lastly,the qualities required for one to partake in the holy communion was explicitly stated in the Bible : one must have experienced the work of salvation ,the glorious experience of sanctifications & is actually living a life free from the depraved nature of man & in good term with God,are these not the same requirement expected of anyone that is offering communion to those receiving it ? Or is their more "depth" required for the person offering it that's not applicable to the receiver ?

And if it's only specific for a priest to carry out the process,is it the only priest recognised by the Catholic church ? Because when you're talking about priesthood,every sincerely saved & sanctified Christian is a royal priest & among a chosen generation,while Jesus is their high priest they should look up to as the author & finisher of their faith.
I will sincerely appreciate your civil responses to the questions.
Good evening..

You are right, there's the common priesthood which we all share in but it's worthy of note that the priesthood Jesus is in the order of Melchizedek, priest of the most High God, which was instituted by Christ himself during the Abrahamic time (Gen 14:18-20). At the last supper, he again offered bread and wine just as Melchizedek did for the last time as he did the first time with Abraham, thereby sealing the eternal sacrifice which he instituted right from the beginning with Abraham. There were other priesthoods such as the patriarchal, Aaronic, Levites etc but that of Melchizedek as the book of psalms (110:4) says
The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” And that's why the author of Hebrews spoke of Jesus's priesthood as that in the order of Melchizedek. This is to establish that there's a priesthood outside the common one which is an everlasting one. And if that's the case, it could be inferred that the priesthood of Melchizedek priest of the Most high God did not end with Jesus, who then took over that priesthood or are empowered to function in that order? The Apostles.

This is a very long discuss with so much to talk about , as much as I want to continue I'm tired of typing but I will update gradually here

patorial:
I'm patrick, the requirement is only that christ said we should eat the communion in memory of him, I bet you don't read much.

You might not regard me as catholic but I know a lot about catholic that you are just waiting for your Saturdays teaching to tell you, they never did

LOL.... I have a degree in Catholic Theology, I have nothing to prove to you

I just met this girl last week oo....there was something about her I liked so I decided to take it to another level. Anty bill me 5k to make her hair, I paid, I invited her over, she spent the night. No sex ooo. In the morning, Anty bill me 10k to sort herself out, I transferred 8k to her. After some days, Anty talk say she wan buy phone, but she needed 5k to complete it, I felt reluctant to give her that money, then she reduced it to 2k, my mind still didn't agree with her story. This girl is a runs girl oo, but I overlooked all that cos I developed feelings for her. Fast forward to this morning. She said she wanted to go to lagos. I already knew it was to go and do the usual thing runs girls do. I told her that it will be her last runs. She said that I should start up a business for her. I agreed ooo...I offered to pay for her tuition fees to learn Fashion design when she comes back to Enugu. I believed that if she was busy, she wont have time for runs.I asked her what she will do with the money she will make at lagos, then this happened

If your story is true, You are just foolish, no offence

Kwin1995:
I have been reading so many post here,decided to write this.


So I m a student,after my IT I went back to school for my HND,tho I lost my Dad immediately after my ND program,so things hasn’t been easy with the family,so a month after I went back to school I met this guy through a distance friend,and we started dating (serious relationship tho)I took it that ok yeah this guy is serious,I began to put effort trying to free those unserious guys I have been with,as difficult as it may be ,he helped me thru that,but one of his problems is that he has anger issues and when he is angry he doesn’t care who it’s affects,tho he only gets mad at me,but doesn’t to an outsider,,he is from a nuclear and nice family mother and sisters nice and caring,but

Now I find it hard to go see my family,not because I don’t want to buy any time I tell him about it ,his mood changes,I become disgusting to him and if I eventually go ,no words of regards from him to family,he even finds it hard to call or check on me,but if I told him I wanna go see his mum,he will b super excited and be asking when when when ? What time? Do well oo even on my way he will call me ten times b4 getting there

I appreciate his family so much,n want him to reciprocate but inner pride and insecurities won’t let him

Any time m angry and express my feelings to him abt the wrong he did he will suddenly get angry and b waiting for me to apologise


He is a sweet guy but his insecurities is too much always thinks m cheating on him,asks me to stop chatting with boys meanwhile he still have the contact of most girls he had bleeped and is currently chatting with one,tryna help her secure a job,so after chatting he delete ,den suddenly put a security code on his phone which wasn’t there b4

Went to my phone and saved all the guys number on my phone with another name monitoring my chats,n d Funny this is that they all know m engaged to me married so no one chats nor calls me no more.

Imagine leaving my hostel and moving in fully with him,I just wonder what else he wants from me.�
I need ur advice on what to do

Cos I love him so dearly
I know he may or will see tho because he is a Nairalander

But I just need an advice

This one is strong. You already know his kind of person and I advise you adjust, if this doesn't work out, I don't think any of your family members would be accommodative, call them and send money to them if needed or have them visit you instead. You don't trust him as much as he doesn't trust you, and both of you are obviously monitoring each other. Just do your best to get things going but do not isolate yourself from your family no matter what.

AwkaetitiBabe:
See how a broke lazy husband can push a woman to commit suicide. Women are simply not wired to be bread winners.

She got all the cards, why she didn't dump the lady man beats me. Could be murder

Shut the fvck up! but they are wired to eat bread. She was desperate for marriage and that was the beginning of her end, thinking he would change if they got married. He did what he did because he simply did not love her as pointed out and was highly irresponsible because if he did, he would not have behaved as he did

Lemskey:
Dear Nairalanders,sincerely,I am really tired of our babes in Nigeria.I think the economic situation of the country has made most of them loose their proper state of reasoning and dignity.

I ended a toxic relationship some months ago as it was obvious that the babe I was dating was just after my pocket but never loved me.

Just b"cos I am a nice person and was willing to provide for her,she took advantage of it and turned me to her Central Bank.

Thank God I was able to summon d courage from d advise of experienced Nairalanders to break up with her.

However,in the last two months,I ve been trying to go into another relationship but it seems all these 9ja babes are d same.

The first babe I met,whom I was still trying to get used to did not hesitate to ask for a new phone just within a week that we re started seeing each other.Not that I demanded for sex or was even in a rush to as my aim is to have a girl that we both can love each other and ve a last lasting relationship.She has a Tecno phone already but was complaining that she was tired of the phone and needed an iPhone x.I just avoided her since then.

Last Friday,I met another one that is even worse.
We went to d movies and had some refreshment at an eatery and we ve been chatting until last nite she started demanding for #200k to start clothing biz.

Though she even demanded for data on Saturday, I sent 1.8GB to her and demanded for more on Sunday, claiming that her iPhone consumes a lot of data and I sent her another 1GB b'4 she came up with the demand for capital to do biz.

There is nothing wrong in caring for a woman but I feel a man shld willingly provide and not d woman making demands just within days of meeting a man.

I as a person is ready to provide for my babe but when d babe sees d material provisions as d objective of d affair, it becomes so discouraging.

Our babes shld understand that it is not all men that just wants to sleep with them and dump them.

They are sincere guys who want a genuine lasting relationship,while other things can follow.

In fact,I am just tired.

I wish we guys could just do without them to save our time,energy and money.

They are so frustrating abeg!

My brother, you are not alone but the truth is, Nigeria as a country is fvcked up with the majority of our women having little or no ambition to do anything but sit and eat. There's nothing you can do about them but to stop being a nice guy, treat them like shit and watch them behave, don't ever go out of your way to do anything for them, they would call you stingy but they would respect you for not being a maga

You and your cousin, I no know who mumu pass

This is why men no longer respect their spouses, marriage is more or less like ticking one of those things in one's bucket list

How's this news, something is wrong upstairs with the mods

femi4:
Spiritual illiterate!
He offered it once and for all Read vs 10 again.

Communion is done in remembrance of this Sacrifice NOT the Sacrifice itself

1Cor 11:26

26
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

No priest nor repetition of Sacrifice is required. Communion brings into our consciousness Sacrifice that was perfected years ago. Calling Communion a Sacrifice offered is scriptural baseless and unfounded

The sacrifice demanded from us is shown below:

Rom 12:1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy [because of all that Jesus has done for us through the sacrifice of himself on the cross], to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship’

Foolish slowpoke..... You are geared towards fundamental ism and that's why you lack basic understanding. Did I say they are crucifying Jesus again? My argument is that the Holy Eucharist or communion is a reenactment of that sacrifice and only those who have been chosen or empowered for that task can do it which doesn't include pastors because they don't have the power to which I earlier said because I don't understand what you are arguing about. If you are saying the holy communion is not sacrifice, you will then you are saying its not the body and blood of christ cos you cannot offer blood and flesh to any God without it being sacrificed, that's common knowledge

femi4:
In all thy getting ...get understanding

Where you quote in Hebrew was explaining how sacrifices were done in old testament before Jesus laid down his life to justify his priesthood

From verse 5 of heb 5

5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,

“You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.”[a]
6 And he says in another place,

“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”



The sacrifice on the cross was done once and for all

Heb 10:1,5-10

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship


It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;

6with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.

7Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’ ” a

8First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.

9Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.

10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all

Its obvious you're in dire need of the understanding

Hebrews 5:1
[1]Every high priest is a man chosen to represent other people in their dealings with God. He presents their gifts to God and offers sacrifices for their sins.

If Jesus's priesthood is in the order of Melchizedek, and on that basis was able to offer his body and blood, and once and for all and then gave his disciples the instructions of offering that same body and blood in line with that sacrifice, what then are you arguing about?

Is the Holy communion not Jesus's body and blood? Did he not offer it up as a sacrifice while acting as a priest in the order of Melchizedek? And as God, did he not give his disciples the same power to offer that sacrifice by asking them to do it in his remembrance? Did he give that power and instructions to everybody or just the disciples? Is it not written that the apostles through laying on of hands passed Down this mantle to those who succeded them? Which only points to my earliest statement, there's nothing like Holy communion in pentecostal churches, they neither have apostolic succession or the power to function as priests and cannot offer sacrifices for sins which is what Jesus's sacrifice on the cross is where he offered his body and blood.

I have nothing else to say to you don't quote me again

femi4:
you are quoting old testament. You lack depth. Jesus is the Sacrifice, partaking in the communion is remembering the sacrifice and its importance.

1Cor 11:26

This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Is Hebrews old testament?

ArticleBeast:
Anybody offers sacrifice as long as you worship the gods. Hope I have answered your stupidity. By the way you can at least offer a New testament scripture. Jesus is our new high priest. By the way, you didn't answer my question, have you read in the scripture that somebody entered heaven because he was a catholic or because he was a born again christian?

Your foolishness knows no bounds. You are asking me for new testament scriptures as though Hebrews is in the old testament. What has being a catholic and going to heaven got to do with topic?
