@joel3, you just have to use different version of the Bible to get the point there. That part was referring to ministers who bring in strange and false doctrines into Christendom.

New International Version
They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.


New Living Translation
They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth.


English Standard Version


who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

She is just feeling insecure no one is competing with her i dont even have a problem with her so why is she using her reggae to spoil my blues?

because she feels you will be loved, pampered more than her in the family. You need not to be bothered about her, just be weary of her. You can as well remember her in your prayers if you are still worried.

Who are you marrying exactly? Your Hubby's elder brother wife? or your Hubby? because seems to me you want to marry your Hubby's elder brother's wife. If she doesn't love you, what is your business? must she love you? both of you are married to different men of the same family, why the competition? women and their wahala sha smh

sonOfLucifer:

It's called common sense which you clearly lack. Your God is a consuming fire? That explains how your brains got fried. Keep your dead Jew stories to yourself.

there can be several gods but there is only one True GOD the I AM that I AM the God that said let there be light and there was light, the God that gave you the Air you breath in, the God that formed you in your mothers womb, The God that created the Heavens and the very earth you live in, the God that knows the end from the beginning, the ancient of days, the God that divided the Red sea for the children of Israel. That is the only God I know, all other gods are the creation of men. And those that created them, those that worship them are like unto them. They shall soon be cut off completely, all the days of their lives, they will languish in darkness, their ways will be dark and slippery.

sonOfLucifer:

I

you should have quoted my exact words, why quoting only my name Are you scared? The God I serve is a consuming fire. What about the god you serve?

sonOfLucifer:

Effect of studying CRK from kindergarten to University. There are over a 1000 religions in the world, with their own Gods and philosophy. The world isn't divided into Christianity and Islam. Get some sense. I know it's a difficult task especially when your mind is trapped between Genesis and Revelations.

I don't like posting on threads MRBROWNJAY have posted on. He has answered the question here

Mindfulness:


An atheist is someone who does not believe that God exists so I can't be an atheist, right?

you are neither here nor there. You believe God exist, you are still considering whether Jesus is the son of God, you are not a Muslim. Do you believe in eternity?

Mindfulness:

Nope.

what a you then? Atheist

Mindfulness:

No, I am not!

a Muslim

SAMBARRY:
now you're talking like a real man

All these firm protocols In same UK RCCG?

C.A.C or Deeper life/MFM , I can relate but RCCG?? WHAT YEYE DILEMMA ?

Please ..


He wants a clean slate (fresh born again virgin)? yes = He's done with her. End of.

But he will definitely reap what he sowed in that young girls life. Because he owed it to her his true intent. Otherwise , his born again charade is just baloney.

everybody in life will reap whatever they sow in people's life. It is very dangerous to promise a woman marriage all because you want to sleep with her, it is even more dangerous if the woman aborts or terminates a pregnancy that might have resulted from the illicit affair.

When the bible said, "a man will leave is father's house and mother and cleave unto his wife and they shall become one flesh" what do you think it meant? It meant Sex. The Bible is against formication aka premarital sex because during the process of sex especially in the climax stages, half of the woman comes out, half of the man comes out and at that point the half's becomes one. The whole process of sexual intercourse is like a deep spiritual blood covenant.

Now dumping AnnaOyibo because he is now born again would only make him a liar and a deceiver hiding under the guise of being born-again. He would have caused her so much pains that even if she doesn't say a thing to him. The curse of hurting people deeply would have been triggered.

The only excuse he can give to leave the relationship is if AnnaOyibo is not ready to tow the line of rededicating her life to Jesus. Then he can claim "The Bible says be unequally yoke with an unbeliever"

But what of if Annaoyibo pretends to be born again? and after marriage, goes back to her old self? there are so many questions that only God can answer.

But like I wrote earlier, the process of being born-again is very long, you have to stop some things, you need to drop things that would remind you of your old self. That was why I told her that, Mr.A needs to see her from another angle of being a true christian especially when he told her that they can be best friends.

Sorry to butt in,

Happiness is a gift you should first give yourself and if you wait for anyone to do that for you, then you're on a long thing.
That's why you should have a life, and love yourself first. Do things that would make you a better person, because your family and others around you will enjoy the better improved you.

I actually came back to read this part of your post. And I think, this is the missing ingredient most people lack in relationships. If you don't love yourself, you can't love others, if you don't have it, you can't give it. if you are not happy, you can't radiate happiness. cheers

@op, your friend wants to eat omelettes but she does not want to break eggs. Very interesting. She wants the product of a marriage but she doesn't want marriage. That is what I call, being selfish.

Getting pregnant is very easy for her, she should try a one night stand. Because no responsible Nigerian man out there will do what she is asking for except for the silly ones who would come back in future to claim their offsprings. And you know the thing with one night stand? the child becomes a bastard right from conception that's even when she is lucky not to contract STIs or STDs

Mindfulness:


Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I will have to think it through.

really? thinking it through? you are not a christian?

Mindfulness:


Life.

What about you? Do you believe?

Psalm 14:1 it is only a fool that will say in his heart that there is no God.

Have had encounters, i've seen things, I've experienced things.

Do you believe that Jesus Christ came to the world to die for the sins of mankind to reconcile us back to God?

Mindfulness:

YES! I am convinced that there is a God.
What about you?

who convinced you?

Mindfulness:


If there was a destiny, I would not have to fulfill it as it would fulfill itself. I don't believe in the concept of a destiny.

Do you believe that there is a God?

laughing @ the word castrate is your friend a dog? vasectomy should have been the right word. Also laughing at him absconding from the hospital when his wife wants to put to bed. I mean what kind of a man runs away like that

"I keep my impression for her to see that there is no heart in me she can steal. a kind of heartless feeling one will start wondering on how to please such a person" --- this part of your post @joel3 got me laughing. Are you Pharaoh?

Mindfulness:


Different people find fulfillment in different things and an unmarried woman can feel happier than a married woman and vice versa.
It is very individual.

life is hinged on destiny. Fulfilling your destiny is very tantamount

Mindfulness:


I am sure they confided in you and told you how money does not buy happiness and how lonely all of them feel.

I am also sure a relationship / marriage is a guarantee to happiness.

the only thing that guarantees happiness in life is "fulfilment". If you are not fulfilled in marriage, career, education, how can you be happy? fulfilment is like that thirst you need satisfy.

Mindfulness:


Does this article say "Women value your careers more than your family"?



This way of thinking is the reason why we need more articles like this. People like you think that all unmarried ladies who have flourishing careers cry themselves to sleep at night while all married ladies sparkle happiness.

There are career women who enjoy their lives very much without crying themselves to sleep. They take pride in their achievements. They travel the world. They buy expensive designer clothes and the best cosmetics the market has to offer. They get the best facial treatments, manicure and pedicure and a massage twice a week. They have fancy houses and people who clean their houses. They look healthy and younger than they actually are. They dine in the best restaurants where waiters are eager to please them and fulfill their wishes.


But yeah, they will definitely change their position with a mother of five whose husband can barely feed them just for the sake of having a man.

buhahahahaha @ bolded. If only money could buy true happiness. Don't be deceived by their glittering appearances and lifestyles, if some utter or confess their innermost thoughts with you, then you will know that the rich also cry. Yes the article says, girls should act like kings not queens

Miami11:


You don't seem to understand poster,

He said women should value stuff like career, money studies first,

Marriage shouldn't be a do or die affair

and you don't seem to get my point. Women that value their careers should get married to their careers. If you have chosen to value your career more than any man you will get married to, spare the man the headaches and explain to him from the onset that you value your career, money more than him and the children you both are going to bring into the world, let's see if he will decide to proceed with the marriage that as failed from the beginning.

The article posted above is probably written by a woman who as gotten it all wrong in her life in terms of relationships with men and the only thing she as going on for herself is her career but every night, she cries herself to sleep when she knows
she is a failure from a marital point of view thus, she is looking for students to join her school of thought.

kelvinclint:

LOL. Even the so called feminist would at some point need a man

are you minding them, let them keep deceiving themselves

Miami11:
Nigerian girls, not all African girls, where I come from marriage is last on the list for girls, and am from Africa too
I doubt that will change though, it is part of Nigerian culture, culture hardly change in people.

marriage shouldn't even be on the list of the African you come from. I mean girls in your country should not even Marry at all, what the heck, you don't need husbands. Leave men alone and achieve whatever you want to achieve.


Back to topic. This article above was surely written by a feminist, the moment women equate themselves with or strive to be more than men is the day this world would turn upside down. Do you know why? women don't think about repercussions.

@oyind17, he is your brother and when you see things are going wrong in his marriage, you have every right to intervene indirectly. But the kind of intervene you will do is through intercessory prayers. Keep praying for your brother and if possible ask some pastors to pray for him too. His wife might be the one financing the home at the moment and maybe she calls the shots. You have to find out his financial status first, if he has no money, intercede through prayers for financial breakthrough. If he is financially capable and he is turned into a houseboy in his own home, then the prayers will have to be serious.

@op, the only answer I will give you is that, our God who is in heaven is unquestionable. He sits in heaven, his throne and made the earth is footstool, he does that which pleases him. Only Pharisees, pagans question his ways.

The word "Mallam" is also a palindrome that was the first I knew
