ORLU BLEEDS (The True Story)
...
Stay tuned.

Create a thread for this please, it will be easier to "stay tuned" that way.

boxer022:
I understand your points but must point out the following:
1) For Adam, the Bible recorded that God saw that Adam had no companion or helper which made Him create Eve from his missing rib as a helper or companion for Adam.

Nowhere did God ordain Eve as Adam's wife. All God did was to make Eve and bring her before Adam. If Adam had said - No, I don't want her; so would it have been.

2) Solomon made his choice of marriage and where did it lead him, after marrying all those women it led him to worship other gods apart from GOD.

David also made HIS choice. Like I said before, you make that choice and live with whatever comes out of it.
The good thing is - You can also make God your counsellor.

3) Samson was also warned not to marry outside his tribe but due to beauty and love, it cost him his life.
God specifically warned the Israelites in the bible against marrying outside their nation.

His choice, His cross. Bring out others that made nice choices, did God compel anyone of them to marry a particular person?

Now, there was this prophet who God said He should take a prostitute for wife (Take note - He was a prophet). Guess what? He still picked the prostitute of His choice.

Following the topic of discussion you will read that he prayed and fasted for God to show him his wife and the lady God showed him was not the lady he loves. Since he put his trust in God and asks for His direction, which he got response then why is he going against what God showed him in the dream?

He is wrong or mistaken! Concerning who you wife, God can counsel you, but He will not compel you.

God will never give you who you don't like. At the end, the OP will commit Adultery, or worse, take a divorce.
Then I will ask him - Who do you think was the architect of this mess you are in?

boxer022:
I have this belief which is that everyone has destined person to spend the rest of their life with.

Let us deal with facts here and not mere opinions or fantasies - Show me 3 bible Characters God specifically picked a wife for.
Let's start with Adam. God made Eve, but nowhere did he (God) mandate it to Adam and said - Take Eve, She must be your wife. 'Twas Adam himself who picked Eve by confirming her to be bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. If Adam had said He doesn't want Eve, so would it be!
Cain picked a wife of HIS choice.
Abraham picked a wife of HIS choice.
Isaac was given one, but she was HIS choice.
Jacob chose a wife of HIS choice. (He got double in the process though).
Moses picked a wife of His Choice.
Samson chose a wife of HIS choice (even if she was instrumental in his destruction, God respected Samson's choice)
David Chose whom he Wanted.
Solomon married whoever he wanted.
Need I say more?
God can definitely give you a range, something like - Hey, don't marry anyone not born again.
But, He won't say - Take this one, she's you destiny partner. If you don't marry her, you won't ever marry anyone.

So, am I proposing that choosing a spouse doesn't require God at all? God forbid!
Learn from David, the best person that can be your counsellor is God himself.
When you see someone you love (the first step) and she loves you in return, ask the LORD - Shall I go further?
If he says NO, then trust Him, He has his reasons.
But you know what is certain? There are 10,000+ girls out there God will tell you "My son, carry on" if you happen to meet them.
When you know this, you then realize that there is no destined soulmate. A man MAKES HIS OWN soulmate and God stamps his seal on their union.

The issue of marriage is not a child's play and if you make mistake in it, you will regret for the rest of your life.

I can show you many marriages the spouse will tell you - God confirmed them. But guess what? Those marriages are nothing to write home about.
Even Atheists marry happily. Muslims marry happily.
If your marriage is a mistake, it's your fault, not God's nor anyone else's fault.

boxer022:
How do you mean?

God will not compel you to marry someone you don't love.

iLegendd:
When you mingle or listen to happy and success people like Jimmy (MrBeas), PewDiePie, Jeff Bezoz, Elon, read books, etc. you have no choice than to catch up at a point in your life knowingly or unknowingly.

When you mingle with angry, wicked, and poor people, you'll think life is not worth living. A man's association matters.

True. Relationship (or say, association) is a currency, it can get you anything money can (even more).

iLegendd:
I'm the adviser/chairman of Beggars Association of Nigeria (BAN).

Before you're allowed to beg, request, or ask for anything anywhere on the Internet, even if it's toothpick, you need to register with 20k. You can pay it twice.

After the 20k registration, you can request for as much as you want in a year, but your total requests (in financial worth) shouldn't be more than 21k. Another year, you renew with the current registration fee.

I handle the registration. Only 2 people from Nairaland have registered and these are the only 2 people I listen to their requests as a BAN adviser/chairman.

You can join us by registering with just 20k. If you don't have, borrow. If you don't have where to borrow, wait till you have.

After registration, your request will be approved. This is how we do things now. We follow rules and regulations.
You can pay with Bitcoin.

I just messaged your oga @JoeClef, and he said I have the privilege to request for a max. amount of #23,000. I think it's a nice association, how do I pay the registration fee (Bitcoin is not an option)?

iLegendd:
Since God brought me in a country like this, I'll not. I'll use it to help, but if I'm bent on setting a Guinness World Record, I'll secretly buy the company, secretly own the company, or buy 80% shares and then go there to purchase an ice cream of 1 billion dollars.

Damn! Thie might be Mr. Beast's strategy also. I just finished a video by another YouTuber who analyzed how Mr. beast could afford such extravagant spending, if true (added with what you just said now), then I believe Mr. Beast will pull an Elon-Musk-cosmic-rise-to-the-top on other Youtubers.

At the end, there will be 3 benefits

1. I have set a Guinness World Record
2. I have promoted the company/eatery
3. My money is back or at least, 60% will be back after taxes — luckily, Nigerian system isn't working, so I won't pay tax

At the end, the money will still come back to me.

Kai, you get sense.

iLegendd:
Damn! The video was lit! The first person to watch the video and tell me all he bought in dollar, add all the dollars together and multiply it by 480 will get 1k card from me and 200MB (Airtel only).

The reason for the 200MB is because I can't transfer more than that at once.

The young man probably spent more than 100 million naira in those restaurants. Only one restaurant was $100,000 ice cream (48 million Naira).

Now, you got me addicted to him. However, even if i'm twice as rich as Mr.Beast, I don't think I will lavish so much on food. In my world, $20 cake and $2,000 cake no too different, cake na cake.
iLegendd, when you are twice as rich as Mr Beast, will/can you spend lavishly like he does?

wahoom:
Folks, please i need your help here.

Hence, this question, CAN GOD LEAD YOU TO MARRY SOMEONE YOU DON'T LOVE OR ATTEACTED TO?

If you are talking about YHWH, the God of Isreal, then the answer is NO.

haddeylium:
In Nigeria, Buhari is the only true president based on authority. He's the same in nature with every other.
Likewise, Jehovah is the only true God (The Almighty) in authority. He has the same nature with every other spirit Being. He's a spirit.He's without flesh and blood.

Happy New year!

Your last 2 sentences are funny. Janosky, your brother, believes all Spirits are not the same, just as all flesh are not the same.

jasonclement:
lost my phone, send your number to my mail

My phone is heading to the repairer's shop tomorrow. I can only access my mail from that phone due to security reasons.

iLegendd:
No time. Even if there is time, no energy or interest on my part for such.

If I'll get paid for it, I'll still decline — boring.

Okay, ko si problem.

iLegendd:
I can write a book in a day — all true stories. Formatting and proofreading is what takes time.

In your free time, please create a thread for this. We all (those you inspired into KDP) badly need this.

Good day. Saw your mail bro, what's up?

Griffelspawn:
The idea of omnipotence is dumb. As shown by this simple question can God create a stone so heavy he can lift it it? If he can then he isnt omnipotent as he cant lift the stone he just created. If he can't, he still isnt omnipotent because he then he cant create everything. You are welcome to answer, but please dont respond with "he works in mysterious ways". Because as John Adam's , one of the founding fathers of the USA put it"mystery is a convenient excuse for absurdity".

Q1: Is God omnipotent?
Yes. But that is only within the confines/boundary of his nature.
You went too far, there are so many simple things God cannot do.
1. He cannot lie.
2. He cannot fornicate.
Etc.
What shall we then say? Is God not omnipotent? God forbid! He is omnipotent, but that is only within the confines of the nature. In his nature, lies and fornication are nonexistent options, he simply cannot do them even if he wanted to.

The God you speak of is called the MOST HIGH. You know what that means? It means - after him, na still him. In other words, there is nothing above him, and that's the nature of God - The Highest.

If He creates a stone so heavy he cannot lift, he has created something higher than him. While he loses the omnipotent status, what you don't know is he also no longer abide as God. Why? We now have a new highest, the stone!

Fortunately, God's omnipotence does not exceed His nature. He is the highest, therefore anything that is higher than him CANNOT BE CALLED INTO EXISTENCE, EVEN BY HIM! WHY? SUCH CREATURE EXCEEDS HIS NATURE.

There you have it, God cannot create a stone too strong for him to lift.
Why? God's omnipotence does not exceed his nature.

iLegendd:
All platforms do it — including Nairaland.

Nairaland's system at least, allows your hater trend your threads for you. As long as they keep gnashing, your threads stay at the top. I thought steemit too had something like this in place, I for don follow you for back go open steemit account.

iLegendd:
Taking action is key. Based on what I wrote above, I just created a Steemit account and I'll repost this entire thread with people's comment on Steemit today or tomorrow and make money with it, then delete this thread.

The content will be restructured fit my new audience.

In summary, I'll make money with it while I sleep.

Laziness causes brokenness while action causes happiness.

Opera news do something like this. Unfortunately, it profiteth more to write books with that time than write posts for Opera. Why? Opera burn posts out in 2 or 3 days and allow fresh posts trend. So, no matter the engagement on your post, it dies and it remains dead. Does Steemit also do the same with posts?

SilverNorGold:
My brother, again, learn to read and comprehend! If you don't have anything to say, move on! You demanded to know why more users criticize Buhari and his government here and I have replied that so well that you couldn't even object to that!

Again, learn to read and understand and stop making baseless assumptions!

LMAO! The only point you raised is that Northerners who are the only patriotic citizens and supporters of Buhari are not on Nairaland for one reason or the other.
You've tried.

SilverNorGold:
My brother, you should ask Nairaland @the emboldened. How many people support this government to begin with - from inception? Didn't you see the number that voted Atiku on nairaland? Lol!

That aside, most of the Northerners and others from other region that supported this government have either been banned or they simply stopped participating. How many Northerners are on this Forum to start with? Most of the commenters here are either IPOB supporters or Anarchists.

Those that voted for Atiku were the same people that voted for Buhari in 2015.

Now I get you, only northerners are the true patriotic citizens. Why? They support and appreciate Buhari.

We all Jubilated when he won in 2015. But any average Nigerian [well, one with his brains intact] knows Buhari's govt is a calamity. After that illness that had him away from the country for months, Nigeria went on autopilot and premium backwardness.

SilverNorGold:
My brother, learn to read and understand! MAJORITY of the CRITICS, not majority of the people.. Majority of the people are happy.

This thread is on page 3 or 4 already. Count how many people are happy with Buhari and his cluelessness with the service chief.
How come you are the only patriotic Nigerian among us?

The minority of the people who are not can be divided into 2 groups of critics.. Those, the majority, who criticize blindingly and out of hatred VS the minority, who criticize, not out of hatred, but genuineness. Zulum belongs here. They criticize the government but still admit they've tried.

Spare me all these puh-leaaaaze.

However, the majority of the people know they have done well and therefore in support.

Maybe you think I live in China. I'm in Nigeria whose FCT is Abuja, and a Buhari is the president.
If this is the same Nigeria you say the majority of the people are happy and in support of Buhari, then it means I'm engaging a clown.

SilverNorGold:
Good...



Of course, majority of them cannot see! How can they see when they are blinded by hatred, bigotry and envy?

How can they see when everything Buhari does is bad to them? Even if Buhari lay down his life for them, they'd still condemn him for it!

How can they see when wailing is their calling?

How can they see when they're not happy that peace is being restored? How can they be happy?

The few genuine critics that actually mean well for Nigeria expected MORE... They acknowledge that Buhari has done better, eg Zulum.

A wise pidgin proverb states - If e dey do you like say na everybody dey mad, check am well, na you gan gan dey mad.

That loosely translates as - If it looks as if everyone around has /is running mad, do check again, you are actually the mad one.

Look at your life. Majority cannot see, but few good ones like you, Helinues and Zulum.
Everyone on nairaland is a wailer and no patriotic citizens, except those of you on the 30k payroll.

When sowore protest, una dey insult him.. una eyes go open Las las

In the absence of a better alternative, I expected the youths to rally behind sowore.
Unfortunately, all I see is suffering and smiling fools that will still vote APC or PDP, and then wail till 2027.

I said it a few weeks ago when I saw his plans on space exploration, Artificial Intelligence, and his Tesla brand.

He would go on to become the first Trillionaire in Dollars. Watch out!

I predicted it years ago, when he was not among the top 10 richest at all.

Masterpiece.

MuttleyLaff:
God chose "I AM that I AM" obviously from YHWH (i.e. the Hebrew four-letter name, lmso) that is vocalised as Yahweh

Yahweh, means "to be", "to exist", "to become" and literally "I AM ...'' while "I AM that I AM" revealed to Moshe aka Moses, is an expression of praise and statement about the outstanding merit about God that He said He wants to used as for an admiration of Him, an encomium and tribute for Him.

"Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it."
- Ecclesiastes 12:7

"Then Jesus called out in a loud voice,
"Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit."
And when He had said this, He breathed His last."
- Luke 23:46

Your spirit man, if dead to God (i.e. spiritually dead, meaning you aren't "born again" as in, born from on high) will not know about the important things of God because of its disconnect with the Spirit of God (i.e.person isnt "born again'')

I am sure you know that upon physical death, the body (i.e. flesh aka carnal man) goes back to the ground (i.e. as dust), the spirit aka spirit man, goes back God who first gave it and the soul, goes to either of two "holding" places shown in the above pasted picture, to await resurrection that will be followed by judgment.

To start with, can you tell me leaving no stone unturned, the differences between your Soul and your Spirit?

livingchrist:
It doesnt make Jesus a liar, Jesus was only speaking in the context of persons that his disciples were familiar with and in that context only the father knew.
Yes the holy spirit knew.

Contextually speaking, the Holy spirit can ONLY know if He/she/it is not a person independent of the person of God the father.
Who can know the things of man except the spirit of man?
My spirit knows everything about me because it is what it is, My Spirit! Not another independent entity, it is my spirit!

If the Holy spirit is an independent entity of the father, then He is part of the "NO ONE KNOWS" category.

Whether you like it or not, that's the scriptural and logical truth.

iLegendd:
Any man who can discipline himself to do this can never be poor because he'll have enough money to invest. This three months of hunger will give him room to write a great business plan. Hunger brings the best in you.

So, I'm starving myself financially for 3 f*cking months.

I'm summary, I'm a motherf*cking broke ass.

You are cheating.
Your fridge and freezer is stocked up with foods that can last you months.

Your kitchens is stocked up with different raw foods that can last you all through the year.

You want to feel broke again? Empty your freezer and your kitchen

Nice write up by the way, learnt 2 new tips there.

shadeyinka:
The Father is NOT the Word
The Word is NOT the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is NOT the Father

However

God is the Father
God is the Word
God is the Holy Spirit.


For proper comprehension:

My Soul is NOT my Body
My Body is NOT my Spirit
My Spirit is NOT my Soul

However
I am my Body
I am my Soul
I am my Spirit

The same me but three identities

Shalom

Your spirit, body and soul analogy looks sweet on the surface until it is properly scrutinized.

Your body, your spirit and your soul are not independent of your person!

Imagine me raping you and then tell whoever cares to listen - I didn't rape his soul, I raped the body. The body isn't complaining, only the busybody soul. In fact, since the body didn't complain and reacted beautifully to my ministration, it was a consensual sex.

Now, you see how foolish the above is? That is exactly how foolish the trinity brouhaha is.

Trinitarians: The word became man
Me: Okay, I hear. Where is the word before it became man?
Trinitarians: In the father.
Me: Is the word a person (before it became flesh)?
Me: After the word became flesh, was there still any WORD in the father?

Me:
1. God is spirit.
2. The Holy spirit is the spirit of God
Q: Is the holy spirit then the Spirit or the Spirit's spirit

If you say the holy spirit is the spirit, then you have a Bi-nity. Just God and Jesus alone. Why? If that assertion were true, the term "holy Spirit" will just be another word for referring to The father.

If you say the holy spirit is the s
Spirit's spirit, that is another kasala. Just as your spirit is not an independent person of its own, the Spirit's spirit is also not an independent person of its own.

Nuttella:
It means that father, Son and Holy spirit are one with different functions.

Hope you know I and Yhwh are one? John 17:21.
From my perspective, it's like it's a quad-nity, not a tri-nity any longer.

bingbagbo:
Good questions

Q1: Yes, the Holy Spirit is same as the Lord Jesus Christ

Q2: He is Spirit/God (John 4:24)[/quote]Q3: Did Jesus then ressurect as a spirit (the holy spirit), or as a man?

Nuttella:
Have you not heard of *holy trinity=One God.

Nuttella, what's it about? The "*holy trinity = One God"
