CzarChris:What does Olaedo mean? Sounds like Yoruba. |
omenziate:Edi, Asasi Maybe the parents should have translated to their native languages first. |
Ishilove:This is the internet age: there are plenty solutions to whatever sexual problems they might have. Nobody drops out of school or resigns from work because it is stressful, boring or routine: We find ways to make it enjoyable. Sex is a duty in marriage. |
Ishilove:Unfortunately, none are reasons enough to deny him sex. |

solite3:Deborah led the whole nation of Isreal which is bigger than any Church. @Female Apostles: Jesus was a single male, I don't know how feasible a female apostle would have been. There were however women close to him. My understanding: God calls whomever He wills. If He does not require a woman to lead His people, she should stay put and function where she was called. Unlike the worldly system, even the person sweeping the floor would get a befitting reward in Christ which is not geared to the quantity of work but quality. |
truespeak:This is very key. My people perish for lack of knowledge: Hosea 4:6 |
solite3:Not support per say. According to him (with biblical references) 1. Divorce: a wife can only divorce for lack of provision from her husband and sexual denial. She cannot divorce for adultery while a husband can only divorce for adultery. He supports polygamy so a man is expected to marry another wife and not divorce his first wife because she denies him sex. 2. Adultery: a man only commits adultery when he sleeps with a married woman. He is a whoremonger when he sleeps with a single lady. And it is against God and not the wife. Any sex outside marriage for the wife is adultery. Husband can divorce wife, wife cannot divorce husband for adultery. 3. A husband can correct and discipline his wife by spanking also called Christian Domestic Discipline, seizing her credit cards, etc etc. A wife cannot correct talk less of disciplining the husband. If he is doing something wrong, she pleads, prays etc. 4. Masturbation: not a sin because it is with yourself. Going to strip clubs, phone intimacy etc are however wrong. @ Number 3: While I think the marriage atmosphere in the West is too gynocentric pandering to the wives without recourse to the husbands, I was very happy to note that he cautioned his followers to be mindful of the law when pursuing Christian Domestic Discipline. I was truly happy for the Western marriage atmosphere for once. Every bad dog truly has its day. |
Pattypatt:Can you guys stop making women look dumb? ![]() An ex contacts you via what'sapp AND you don't want it? You can't delete his number? Block him or ignore? If you reply to know what he has to say, THEN you are interested in the discussion/attention/what ever he is offering you. Take responsibility for your actions. |
yvelchstores:You are welcome. @20: He believes women should not be pastors, have any leadership position in the church or exercise any authority over men. An example would be to lead prayers, tell the men to do anything, preach to men, teach men etc. We have the likes of Deborah who he treated as an exception. |
LewsTherin:1. Get used to it.2. True, some of the guy's stance on divorce, adultery, husband/wife relationship, masturbation etc amongst others is..... different. 3. I have come to realize same too. That's why I don't fancy the religious section. I read some thesis with people juxtaposing with Greek and Hebrew Bible and I go 'o Lord! '. 4. |
Unnerve:Even the owner of the blog is scared for his life and runs the blog anonymously. ![]() I want intelligent discussions: If you don't agree with point 2, tell me/the author I don't because of XYZ. |
Lazycyndy:Don't quote everything naw for this small comment, jeez! Anyways, this is one person's interpretation of the scriptures he has chosen. |

Good evening peeps, As always, I stumbled on this site a while back and visited again yesterday. The site/blog is marriage/ gender role based owned by an anonymous American who talks about gender roles in line with his interpretation of the Bible. He has a summary of twenty points on gender roles which I would like to share here. I would like Christians to identify the one they agree/ disagree with. Disclaimer: This thread is for Christians ONLY. 20 Doctrines Regarding Biblical Gender Roles 1. In Genesis 9:6 we read that man, as in mankind, men and women, are made “in the image of God.” However, the Bible tells us that male human beings are not just made in the image of God, but it tells us in I Corinthians 11:7 of the male human being that “he IS THE image and glory of God“. What this means is that while men and women equally reflect God’s nature in their common human traits they diverge in equally reflecting God in their distinct male and feminine traits. In other words, God’s nature is most accurately reflected by the masculine human nature, not the feminine human nature. This is why God is always referenced in the masculine sense as a Father, a Son or a Husband in the Bible and should always be referenced by us in the masculine sense and not in the feminine sense. 2. For man to fully exercise the image of God in him as a husband and a father he needed another being that was similar to man but also very different than man. So God made woman as a subordinate companion and helper suitable for man because she would share a common human nature with him (Genesis 2:18-24, Genesis 3:16, I Corinthians 11:7-9, Ephesians 5:22-24). 3. God created woman and by extension marriage to model the relationship between himself and his people. This is why God is referred to as Israel’s husband in the Old Testament(Ezekiel 16:8, Jeremiah 31:31-33) and why Christ is referred to as the husband of the Church in the New Testament (2 Corinthians 11:2). 4. In marriage God has placed the husband as the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church so that man can exercise the leadership and authority attributes of God’s image in him(Ephesians 5:23). 5. In marriage God has not only placed husbands in authority over their wives, but he also given them ownership of their wives. The Hebrew word for marriage in the Old Testament is literally “to be owned” as in a woman coming to be owned by a man. When a man married a woman he became her “owner” and she became “owned by” him (Deuteronomy 22:22, Deuteronomy 24:1, Proverbs 12:4, Proverbs 31:10-11). In the New Testament we read that Christ “purchased” his bride, the Church as men had purchased their wives since the beginning of creation (Acts 20:28). 6. The husband/wife relationship is the only human authority relationship where God commands the one under authority to submit to the other as “unto the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). Wives are commanded to submit to their husbands “in everything” (Ephesians 5:24) and in spiritual matters “…if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home…” (1 Corinthians 14:35). The only exception to a woman submitting to her husband in everything is if he asks her to disobey God’s law (Acts 5:29). 7. In marriage God has given the husband the responsibility to be the provider for his wife so that he can exercise God’s attribute of being a provider for his people(Exodus 21:10-11, Ephesians 5:29). 8. In marriage God has given the husband the responsibility to be the protector of his wife so that he can exercise God’s attribute of being a protector for his people(Nehemiah 4:14, Luke 11:21, Ephesians 5:29). 9. In marriage God has called on men to love their wives not only by leading them, providing for them and protecting them but he has also called men to give themselves up to sacrificially love their wife by washing her spiritual and spots and wrinkles to make her the glorious wife God intends her to be (Ephesians 5:25-27). This means if a husband is loving his wife as Christ loves the Church he will do as Christ does to his Churches and “rebuke and chasten” (Revelation 3:19) his wife. In other words he will discipline his wife. 10. God made woman as “the weaker vessel”(I Peter 3:7) or weaker human so that woman would need man’s leadership, protection and provision as God’s people need his leadership, protection and provision. When a woman desires a man to lead her, protect her and provide for her these desires are part of her God given design. 11. God made woman to bear man’s children and be the keeper of the home (Proverbs 31:27, 1 Timothy 5:14, Titus 2:4-5). When a woman strongly desires to bear children this desire is part of her God given design. When a woman desires to make her home beautiful and wants to organize it this is also part of her God given design. 12. God made woman beautiful and he designed man to desire the beauty of woman because God desires the beauty of his people (Psalm 45:11). When a woman desires to make herself beautiful this is because God has placed this strong desire in her so that she will make herself beautiful for man. 13. God made woman to desire and receive sexual pleasure from her husband to bring him pleasure (Song of Solomon 2:3-13). But God also designed her as the gatekeeper of sex so that she would only desire sex within the confines of marriage (Deuteronomy 22:13-29). 14. God made woman to bring man pleasure because God desires pleasure (Proverbs 5:18-19, Revelation 4:11). 15. God made man to strongly desire pleasure, especially sexual pleasure to image God’s own desire for pleasure (Revelation 4:11). 16. God compares a man’s desire for sex to our human desire for water (Proverbs 5:15). To this end God commands that men drink their fill of and satisfy themselves “at all times” with the sexual well that is their wife’s body and he commands them to be ravished (intoxicated) with her love (Proverbs 18:19). 17. God says that husbands and wives have the responsibility to render their bodies to one another for their sexual pleasure in marriage (I Corinthians 7:3). God also states that husbands and wives have the power to take sexual pleasure in their spouse’s body in marriage (I Corinthians 7:3). There is no requirement that both the husband and wife must mutually desire sex to have sex. In fact, the only time there must be mutual consent regarding sex in marriage is for the couple to mutually agree to stop having sex for a short time (I Corinthians 7:5). 18. Man and woman were designed to come together as one flesh in marriage (Genesis 2:24) to help man fully image God. This is why God’s first command to mankind was to “Be fruitful, and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). To fulfill this command, men and women must marry, have sex and thereby have children. 19. Celibacy is God’s exception to his rule that he wants men and women to marry and be fruitful and multiply. But we should only choose the celibate life if we truly have the “gift” (I Corinthians 7:7) for as the Scriptures say it “it is better to marry than to burn” (I Corinthians 7:9) with desire for marriage than to remain celibate with this God given desire for marriage. 20. Because man is God’s image bearer it is God’s design that men should rule over women in all areas of life including the home (Ephesians 5:22-24, I Peter 3:1-6), the church (1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 14:34) and in society (Isaiah 3:12, I Corinthians 11:3). In other words, Patriarchy is not just a cultural tradition of ages past, but it is in fact God’s design for society. This is why God only allowed male priests(Leviticus 21) in Israel and he only allows male pastors in the Church (1 Timothy 3:1-4). This is why all twelve of Christ’s Apostles were male and even his replacement for Judas was male. Female prophets were God’s exception to his rule that women should never occupy any position of authority spiritual or otherwise over men. https://biblicalgenderroles.com/biblical-gender-roles/ LewsTherin, TV01 (Is he still here?), serubawon, Bellong, Thorpido, Ishilove Mbok tag other Bible/Christian scholars. |
You were engaged to a lady for 8 years? What age did you guys get engaged ?Na wa. |
Kobojunkie:Are you sure ![]() |
Gabriel99:This is another angle. |
Exodora: ![]() E shock am! |
othenok:Hmmmmmm. |
truthsayer009:It would only help her financial reasoning if she manages the whole finance of the home else she is seeing things in silos and spending money that is 'not there'. I don't think jobs are designed to bring that kind of fulfillment in the long term; carrying out your purpose/reason for creation does. However, I very well agree that a job (if decent) would add to her self-worth. I don't see any reason why you can't be financially open with your wife irrespective of her earnings. I think you should be more concerned about a resourceful wife instead. Please note I am not saying she should not work even if the income is negative; I am just laying all the cards on the table. And like you said, if she works at it, the income can grow into a positive balance and add meaningfully to the home. |
NiCurious:I don't know where they get women should not work. There is a difference between reviewing your family needs and agreeing that the wife should not work versus using the Bible to 'mandate' a wife does not work. |
angelfallz:If I am not working or never had working wives around me, I would have concluded that working is the antitode to all marital issues a wife can face when I joined NL. |
Nuttella:To think you have based about five posts from facts you pulled out of your head. Save your admonishment for women who really need them. Again, I tell you that if all a woman's husband has to respect is the fact that she is 'working', it is a pity. |
jornwhite:What assertion? My first post was lifting some points from the OP. |
Nuttella:Dear, That is the problem. When all you have is a hammer, you see every problem as a nail. I sympathize with your friend however don't project their issues and your insecurities on me. Read my posts, understand them and ask intelligent questions if you need to. Stop reading my posts through your biased lenses. |
Acidosis:GBAM! GBAMMER!! GBAMMEST!!! |
deliveryboy:Thank you |
