Islam doesn't allow you to keep quiet in the face of oppressions.

Which oppression exactly?

In a country of about 50% 'professing' Christians and Muslims, you guys convinced us that a Muslim - Muslim presidential ticket should be accepted based on competence.

I believe you didn't see that as oppression then? Or the pendulum is only allowed to swing in your favour?

I am not even interested in this religion politics but the nerve of you guys to complain now.

The nerve.

Stevosty:
You can't be in a team and be paid more than others when you are not a leader, and there is possibility you are doing less work, it's like one of the managers is related to you, and that is bad management and can kill the organisation.

@ your whole post especially the bold:

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

The headline made it look like she intentionally poured the food on her husband.

Propaganda

@OP:

What exactly is there to debate? Wife wanted to kiss her husband and poured food on him by mistake.

naice:
I find myself facing a difficult situation in my marriage and would greatly appreciate your insights and advice. The issue at hand revolves around my wife's unwillingness to listen to me. I'm at a loss as to why she behaves this way, and it's starting to take a toll on our relationship.

To provide some context, my wife has a strong-headed personality, which often leads to conflicts between us. No matter how gently I communicate my concerns or requests, she seems to disregard them and even does the opposite. This behavior frustrates me and leaves me questioning our compatibility.

One possible explanation I've considered is her background as an orphan. She lost her parents at a young age and had to take on the responsibility of caring for herself and her siblings. While I understand the challenges she faced, it seems like her self-reliance has translated into a resistance to accepting input or guidance from others, including me.

At this point, I have contemplated divorce, but there's a significant factor holding me back: our children. I love them deeply and cannot bear the thought of being separated from them. As much as her strong-headedness affects me, I firmly believe that domestic violence is never an option.

I'm reaching out to this community for reasonable opinions and advice on how to navigate this situation. Have any of you experienced a similar dynamic in your relationships? How did you cope with a spouse who doesn't listen? Are there effective strategies to foster better communication and understanding in such circumstances?

Thank you in advance for your support and guidance. Your insights will be invaluable in helping me make an informed decision about the future of my marriage."

Can you give very very practical examples?

And didn't you see this 'trait' before marriage?

How do you earn Naira abroad?

I tire o!

KingintheNorth:
Guys I'm asking for a friend , if you are based abroad and earn 2.5 million naira after tax, what would you invest in Nigeria??

Why do you guys living abroad convert your earnings into Naira when you spend Dollars/ Pounds or Euros?

How much is your disposable income in your currency after all your expenses? Then you can convert to Naira in the current rate to know how much you can invest in Nigeria.

Besides, why do you want to invest in Naira when everyone who can gather small change is investing outside the country?

Except you want to invest here for someone/people to manage & own in Nigeria, your funds would keep depreciating.

Awwwwwwwwww,

Thanks for the encouragement, really appreciate this.

Would think about it when next I am at a Karaoke bar.

What I do is convince/ confuse my friends to sing a song I like

Many songs to sing, no voice to sing it

The only time I sang at a karaoke the song was:

"I will never find another lover" by KC and Jojo.

Have you met madam at the time?

Solid wisdom. God bless you ma

Thanks, God bless you also.

You’re fortunate.
I don’t think busy work schedules could make it difficult for a lady to commit to a meaningful relationship. Nah. Whatever is important to you, you’ll definitely make up time for it or find ways around it.
So it’s a matter of what one prioritizes.
Another thing is, you may not get to have a supportive spouse, who’ll push you towards your ambitions after you get married. It’s difficult to achieve one’s ambitions with growing kids and an unfulfilled spouse.
My wife had always been a workaholic wanting to climb up the corporate ladder, running eight to sixes every working day…I supported her. At some point she envied me for having the luxury of working from anywhere I chose and having a good deal of time with the kids. Today she’s running her business smoothly with utmost fulfillment and time for family. I didn’t force her to change her mind. She just saw what she could be missing by my lifestyle. That was how she strategically resigned and ported.
I’ll simply advice any financially stable lady to get her priorities right and keep her heads straight. It’s either she settles with a compatible person who’ll be supportive, or refactor her ideals to suit her current realities.

😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 @ I am fortunate. I luckily met my husband while we were both in 100L and have been together since then

I gave my POV from the issues in my world (my workplace, my husbands, friends workplace and general observation). I remember a friend used to joke that if we didn't have potential husbands before getting jobs, we would not be married.

In my world, busy is 9am till mama calls (unhealthy, I know). And this is not necessarily a function of 'I want to grow or aggressively pursue my career'; it is a function of impossible workloads because your company wants to be very customer centric. People who work in the service industry (organisations that offer services instead of goods) would get me. And this busyness is not a female only thing; it is just that the way females & males approach relationships are different. It is also because the values each sex brings to the relationship is different.

Because my organisation despite the heavy workload somehow like marriage, our management encourages colleagues marrying and I tell you that about ten couples or more have married in about ten years. And they tell you that God bless the management, they couldn't build a relationship another way. I also look at my female senior colleagues and a large number of them got married at the start of their careers. Like I said, I first heard the advice of 'career before marriage for men & women' on NL. It is get a job, get married & grow. If you look at our society, that's what leaders in all spheres of our society did.

Getting a supportive spouse isn't really a function of when you marry as opposed to the spouse you married.

I agree with you that growing a career with growing kids is a tough one. That's why a lot of peeps married relatively early, had kids (if God willed) and began putting more efforts in their careers as the kids became more independent. It is easier for a junior colleague to miss a departmental meeting for a sick child than a senior colleague to miss a board meeting for a sick child.

I am happy for you that madam ported to your side The kids would enjoy you guys together.

Walamide:
We don't even know who's married and who's not because many of our married folks no longer use their wedding rings.

😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆

Why?

I did not watch the video however would lend my two cents to the topic.

Dating and finding a suitable mate becomes a real problem for working women as they grow older. And one of the major issues is the time to find a potential husband and cultivate a meaningful relationship. Another thing is that most of their mates are married and those unmarried want younger girls not working or just coming up at their jobs so they can rely on them to cover up the slack at home.

Using myself as an example, if I did not have my husband before getting a job (we got married shortly after the job), I honestly doubt I would be married today. I neither have the time nor patience to cultivate a relationship now. If I managed to find a man today, cancelled dates and infrequent calls would have chased him away. Because I do not have the time, I cannot even properly vet him (physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and financially) to know if he is the one. If I even managed to vet him, I do have the time and patience for the tweaking needed to have a smooth relationship.

Also, if we have lived in a certain way till our mid-thirties or older, it would be an herculean task to mould & fit ourselves into one another.

One might wonder how marriages are sustained with such a schedule; well you have a rhythm. After church, we can stop at Cold Stone and gist for 10mins before going home; I am not trying to vet him, I am relaxed. After work on Friday, we can branch to an eatery and grab dinner in 45mins; he is not trying to find out if I am a feminist or not so he is relaxed. WhatsApp chats or a 2mins call to check up on each other during the day. The days we have to work freaking late, we understand that it is the wicked 'capitalists' and a backrub and a peck makes the other person feel loved.

Ideally, I would often advise a lady looking at building a career or working for a long time or a demanding job to find a mate young and build a relationship on a solid foundation. When the job becomes demanding (and it would be), both of you can do the dance of adjustment without much drama (considering you are both sensible people).

The advise of 'build your career to a stage before getting married' is really pulling the cart before the horse. You have decades to build your career; like a person I admire said, it is much easier to juggle your job and childcare when you are at the bottom. When you get to the middle and top, there is a fear of missing our that you want to be present in important 'occasions'; you want to be present in the rooms where decisions are taken; which has an opportunity cost.

The manager should have punished all the girls on duty that day if there was no CCTV to confirm who did such dastardly act.

Nothing makes people's tongue loose than undeserved punishment.

Klass99:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, the last text I highlighted in bold made me laugh, but it is an aha and eye opening text for me.

@ The first bolded, that's a good practice, keep it up. Because one can discern deceptive teaching from miles away if they are well grounded in the word and truths of God.

@ The second bolded, I completely agree, reading the bible for myself and by myself, has been an enjoyable experience saving me from being bamboozled by false teachings. I have also caught myself smiling or laughing out loud in some instances, and it has shown me that God has a wonderful sense of humour too!

Thanks a lot, like someone opined, it is good we don't depend on e-Bibles and possess the hard copies that cannot be changed.

God really has a wonderful sense of humour. Even Jesus's comebacks to the Pharisees sometimes has me chuckling. When they think they have a 'got ya' moment and He asks another question

Klass99:
This is not different from what I do na! That spam bot just has it in for me, once it sees my moniker it goes into full banning mode.

I liked every part of his experience/testimony but more so when he talked about the TBN preachers and christians left behind, and the woman in his church who flipped at God. That was an awakening moment for me.

The part where a mother took the mark because of her two young kids made me think, it's a good thing you are child free and staying child free Klass, because I wouldn't want to be in that situation and parents usually tend to love/value their children more than the giver of the gift. So yep, it's a good thing for me from where I stand.

We would carry a 'free Klass99' placard

I don't understand the attraction to Christianity and using the Bible to support themselves.

I really don't.

I imagine I am against polygamy and keep dragging the Quran that endorses polygamy into it.

Hathor5:
Bukatyne

This here is for you.

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed[a] thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:9-14

There are those who are clean in their own eyes
but are not washed of their filth. Proverbs 30:12

When I say don't include the Bible in your nonsense, I seem harsh.

If you really understand the verses you quoted, you will not have made the mistake of doing so.

1. That passage talk about two people: the Pharisee who said he was not like certain sinners. Some passages say he wasn't a sinner etc. Can you point anywhere on this thread I spoke about my righteousness?

2. The Tax Collector prayed 'God be merciful to me a sinner' and he went home justified.

Buttressing on the Tax Collector, did you read that he repented of his sin in sorrow? Have the LGBTQ~ community repented of their sin & I claimed they would not be forgiven? I remember clearly stating that God would forgive them if they repent some pages back. How does the Tax Collector's actions tie in to your actions on this thread?

A. He acknowledged he was a sinner; do you and others think LGBTQ~ is a sin? If yes, why are you supporting them to carry on and talking about their 'rights' to exist publicly in the society when your concern as a Christian should be showing them they are sinners?

B. He acknowledged only God can save him: Do you believe in God? Do you believe in a God that has condemned the LGBTQ~ community? Do you believe the LGBTQ community need salvation from their evil ways from God?

C. He prayed to God for forgiveness: Has the LGBTQ~ community & their fans prayed for forgiveness? If yes, has anyone stated they would not be forgiven? Have you spotted anyone ready to repent and prayed with them or led them to Christ?

Has anyone of you the LGBTQ~ community fans on this thread taken steps A - C outlined? Or you just copied and pasted the passage without understanding to say 'got ya Bukatyne'?

Just steer clear of the Bible when supporting your shenanigans, it is not hard. Once the Bible is out of the way, you can support anything easily.

Hathor5:
Also Bukatyne

There is no resting in the feminine in the Bible but a Christian wife works from dusk till dawn.

Even God who created heaven and earth rested in the 7th day which is the Sabbath. Do you realize that actually working day in day out without rest is a curse and an undesirable state in the Bible? I am sure you don't

His act could cause accidents (fatal and non-fatal) for cars and pedestrians, can affect the cables laid underneath thereby disrupting the networks transmitted by these cables. Loss of man hours, multiple cost of repairs amongst others.

Catch him and watch blame poverty and Government on his wickedness.

cococandy:
I don’t know the meaning of what? Are you kidding me?

At this point I think it’s the need to have the last word that keeps you talking.


As far as your response. Jesus hung out with sinners to convert them but you would turn your nose down at someone you consider a sinner because you see them as lost souls and feel great pity. Because you’re better than them? 😏
I don’t think you realize your self righteousness seeps through all the nonsense you write. You call them abominations, enemies of God. Your derision and unkindness towards them is not maskable.

Just do what all the other Karens do and take it up with upper management. Demand to speak with the CEO God himself and ask him why he keeps loving and blessing them “deplorables”. Or you could borrow a leaf and sit on your judgment since he’s clearly sitting on his.

Not to mention the absolutely ridiculous audacity of you to think you’re in a position; in any way, shape or form to tell me what my religion is. I suppose I should try to justify myself to you? Or prove my faith to you? You? Who died and made you bishop of the world?

I’ve really seen it all 🙊

When you read your Bible, you would understand what the Pharisees did and how it doesn't qualify in this case.

You are just going on and on exposing yourself. Can you quote a post I condemned relating with the LGBTQ~ community with the intent to convert them? Have you in any of your posts indicated that you even think them wrong talk more of converting them?

You think God 'loving and blessing' the LGBTQ community means He approves of their lifestyle? You have not read in the Bible that God makes rain fall on the wicked (sinners) and righteous? You have not read David talking that he refused to be enticed by sinners because they were prospering till God punished them? You have not read that God loved the world that He gave us Jesus that anyone who believed in Him would not perish but have everlasting life? Did you not also read that anyone who doesn’t receive that provision of salvation is condemned? All these things are Bible 101 please.

It is God you are calling 'upper management' and 'CEO God'? Toor

I don't hate the LGBTQ community, I hate their actions/ their sin. Two totally different things.

I never asked you to justify yourself to Me or prove your faith. That would have applied if I said 'you don't pray enough'; 'you don't have enough faith' bla bla. I am telling you that you are not a Christian because you support abortion, modern feminism and the LGBTQ~ community. There is no faith yet to talk about in your case. You could be a church goer, a pastor, a worker in church or an elder sef. Doesn't make you a Christian. The Bible is clear: by their fruits you shall know them.

cococandy:
His commandment is that you don’t judge.

So keep your judgment to yourself and live your own life devoid of harassing LGBTQ people. All these things you guys are doing in the name of standing up for your faith is harassment. If someone approaches you to convert you to their side and you say no and they persist then you can rightfully claim you’re fighting whatever battle. As far as they are not asking you to become them, they just want rights in the society same as everyone else, then what you’re doing is harassment. No amount of Bible verses makes it not harassment.

Simple.

Hopefully I’m done with this conversation at this point

😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃 😀 😄 😁 @ His commandment is do not judge.

Remember that same Jesus threw the merchants out of the temple, cursed the fig tree and condemned the Pharisees. The Apostles in His footsteps 'judged' people and told us to judge one another so we would not be judged. Again stop using words you don't know. Judging the LGBTQ community and its supporters would be saying 'you are going to hell because you are irredeemable' which is different from saying 'you will go to hell if you do not repent from your ways and receive the Lord Jesus as your Lord as personal saviour'.

I am sure the Bible also saying 'wages of sin is death' is judgemental.

I should stop harassing your community members when they are the ones who keep pushing their narrative through the media? If you tell me to stop harassing you with the Bible because you are not interested in Christianity, it would make more sense than the post you put up there.

You will be done with this conversation when you leave the Biblical Jesus out of your discussions. This is not about you, it is the same way I 'discuss' with other posters who try to use the Bible to support their evil stances of adultery and other things that come to their mind.

Leave the Bible out of it and there would be no need for a 'discussion' in the first place.

Klass99:
You sure do know your bible well sha. Kudos!

''Jesus took me to the tribulation and showed me a glimpse of what's to come'' - is the title of his video. Just tell me how you post links without being banned by spam bot and I will attempt to share the link with you here.

It is by God's grace and actually reading the Bible for myself to know what it says.

I pasted the full title of the video, I have described how I post videos here in my previous post.

Klass99:
This your fastest fingers first na die🤣. I came back to modify my post to say.....I always knew at the back of my mind that the Lord wasn't joking about any of these and he doesn't joke about his words either.

But when you've heard most of your life that God is love and you also prefer to focus on that side of him only and not dwell on his other side of being an all consuming fire or the Lion of Judah not just the lamb, it is easy to compromise.

I recently learnt from another guy on Sid Roth's show that the issue with most of us believers is that we love God but we do not fear him! So it's kind of easy to compromise and be disobedient, on and off, here and there. I guess for me I was just shaken awake to my reality by Brandon and a genuine desire in my spirit to live right.

I don't know Brandon's full name o. @lastdays247 is his channel's handle or search for Last Days Brandon in YouTube's search bar.

Or as a Pastor would say, we accept Him as our personal saviour and throw away the 'Lord' part.

All these new age grace teachings is not helping matters. That's why I hammer here that peeps should read the Bible for themselves.

Christianity is not a ego massaging lifestyle; while you come as you are, you are not expected to remain as you are and several passages hammer on that fact. I listened to a sermon and a part struck me: the preacher said if God did not spare His only begotten son and crucified Him, why do we think God would care about our feelings and convenience when He expects something from us?

That message grew till I had the understanding that God has given us different roles and He doesn't care about your ego or self-perception or how 'belittling' the assignment is. That birthed my thread on modern feminism and red pill being anti-Christian.

😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃 😀 😄 at fastest fingers.

Let me use that skill and win money in a competition

Klass99:
First of all how are you able to post links to sites without getting banned? That crazy spam bot never hesitates to ban me when I try this.

Secondly, you crossed my mind today fa. I thought of what you said about the LGBTQ community being like Sodom and Gomorrah and it struck me that these people are even worse than Sodom & Gomorrah because they are trying to change genders and mutilating people's bodies in the process. At least Sodom and Gomorrah kept things to sexual immorality alone, these ones have taken sin to a whole new level with gender transition.

The text in bold made me smile and I absolutely agree with it. If you are a professing Christian or believer who means well and wants to make heaven, I urge you in the name of our creator to please watch a YouTube video by Last Days Brandon. Input exactly what I wrote in YouTube's search bar to get the video, I would have shared a link but the fear of spam bot won't let me, so I don't lose the entire post I typed.

What I do is download videos to my phone so I can watch offline at a later time without needing to use my data. I think you'd be blessed from Brandon's experience/video. My post and paragraph three in particular is not directed at or meant for everyone, so feel free to ignore and waka pass if it robs you the wrong way.

There is no place for compromising Christians/believers in God's kingdom as you'll learn from Brandon's video and more.... Do not be left behind because what is coming is not nice!

Finished the video and it was insightful. Jesus is coming son and anyone who would be caught in the great tribulation after rapture would not be funny. I like when he talked of people who suffered for the Gospel.

Really taken sin to a whole new level and some have the guts to back it up with the Bible. I don't know they are not wiling to leave the Bible out of their shenanigans.

I go to share, choose copy link and paste it here. Same for Instagram videos.

Don't mind the spambot jare, Seun should have upgraded this stuff since 1960.

Klass99:
Well said Buka and multiple blessings to you.👌👍

As a believer in Christ Jesus who just came to an awakening knowledge for myself that God is not joking about these things you've said and there is no place for compromising believers in heaven and some believers will be left behind in the tribulation.......

I stand with this, I have also repented of my own compromising attitudes/lifestyle and will continue to do so, imbibing a life long attitude of repentance (especially after hearing Brandon's testimony) because I don't want to be caught up in the tribulation. What is coming is not nice and I don't want to hear those awful words depart from me you worker of iniquity, either, I go quench finally be that na.

You are welcome dear and blessings to you also.

I had same awakening in 2017 through one of Matt Walsh's articles (I created a thread on it). I realised that one leg in (or live as you like) really as no place in Christianity.

Link to thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/4158735/christians-america-arent-closed-minded-intolerant

Apostle John also warned consistently that friendship with the world is enmity with GOD. You cannot have the world's approval and have that of God. Even Jesus said the world hated Him and would hate us too. It is a given.

P.S.: I still owe you a response to the previous post. I actually came here to check the name of the video before I saw those two posts referencing a Jesus that doesn't exist in the Bible.

Let me go back to your video and reply with my comment.

Just checked YT with Brandon and I don't think I am getting it.

What is the name of the video and/or the full Brandon name biko?

Treadway:
well said. According to madam Coco, her Jesus no mind if Mary continued her prostitution. not only that her Jesus gave Mary thumbs up and said carry dey go. Na her Jesus, not the one we know and call Jesus. Jesus of oyingbo sef dey. Plenty Jesus sef dey Mexico. Na one of those ones she dey follow and she dey talk about. Lol

Like someone said earlier, luckily Christians don't fight for their God unlike some on the other side they know damn well not to mess with else heads actually and physically roll..lol

We can't fight for God, that wasn’t the model Jesus gave us. He only fought principalities and powers with the Scriptures and power of the Holy Spirit.

Like Paul said in 2 Cor 10: 3 - 6
3: We are humans, but we do not wage war as humans do.
4: We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strong hold of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
5: We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
6: And after you have become fully obedient, we would punish anyone who remains disobedient.

There is only one Jesus in the Bible and His expectations are 💯 clear.

If you love me, obey my commandments.

cococandy:
1. Jesus would simply call you a Pharisee and deny you. We know your kind would have been sitting in the bleachers judging Jesus for hanging with so called sinners. And wondering why your holiness is not attracting him to your side.

2. Until you learn to mind your own faith and realize that no one else’s spiritual practice is your personal concern, you’ll continue being out here fuming over things that are not yours to concern yourself over

1. You keep using the word Pharisee, I honestly doubt you know the meaning or know the context they apply.

Jesus hung out with sinners to convert them; to reconcile them with God. And we read how a number of them became great in the Kingdom of God.

That was His goal for hanging out with sinners. Not to affirm them; tell them they were doing OK, or to encourage their lifestyle.

And that is His expectation of Christians; if you are hanging out with sinners, to lead them to Christ.

Jesus deny me for speaking the truth? Of course, your Jesus would. We don't speak the same language. I don't even want to know Him.


2. When I say you are not a Christian, you think it is judgemental. A glimpse (not even indepth study) of the New Testament would tell you that every Christian has the duty of sharpening His/ Her brethren's faith. The Bible echoes it over and over that we have to love one another and keepers of our brethrens' faith. Apostle Paul even went far to say that if you are doing (not wrong) would cause a more sensitive brother's faith to fail, don't do it.

Even Jude in verse 22 said: You must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.

Jesus Christ in John 17 prayed earnestly for the unity of Christians worldwide; the Apostles emphasised on the different gifts that the Holy Spirit gave believers to edify and uplift each other in the Church. Paul said the gift of prophecy is better than speaking in tongues because prophecy edifies the Church. Ephesians 4: 2 - 6 says
2: Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.

3: Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

4: For there is one body (all believers form the body of Christ aka the Church) and one Spirit, just as you (all believers) have been called for one glorious hope for the future.

5: There is one Lord, onw faith, one baptism

6: and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and through all.


P.S.: I had modified my earlier post to include Bible verses.

cococandy:
Thank you 🙏🏽

I know what Jesus would do and that’s why I’m on the side I am.
I hope you’ve been well my lady. Long long time

Jesus would what kwanu?

Encourage LGBTQ~ community? Be fine that Children under His care identify as same? Say LGBTQ is not a sin?

Please don't drag Jesus into your mess abeg.

Always remember that the God you claim to serve destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of Homosexuality; it is also written in Romans 1:24 - 31

24: So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their heart desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies.

25: They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshipped and served the things God created instead of the Creator Himself, who is worthy of eternal praise, amen.

26: That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with one another.

27: And the men, instead of having normal sex relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

28: since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

Jumping to verse 32:
32: They know God's justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them too.

Hathor5:
Coco.candy, I just logged in because of you. I salute you and bow to you my lady. I admire your patience, openness and tolerance.

I wish I had the time to type more with regards to the topic but I don`t. All I can say for now is that it`s not surprising that people condemn what they don`t understand. It`s been like that since time immemorial. However, it is sickening to read the rhetoric about hellfire and sin and pit of hell when it was their Jesus who found a totally different approach to those stigmatized, the outcast of his own time. Anyway, I can`t go into detail but I am grateful you don`t let anyone, no matter how many, silence your voice. You are my hero.

# bold:

The only concern in your post.

To the outcasts as a result of sin, Jesus Christ had only one message: Go and sin no more. Besides, these people acknowledged that they were sinners so the natural thing was a pardon for their sin. Besides, He came to reconcile man to God.

I am jumping on these two posts because it clearly paints a wrong picture of Jesus to suit your agenda.

You can believe what you will, support what you will, affirm what you will but please leave Jesus and Christianity out of it if you are not ready to align with it.

God is a loving father and a consuming fire. Hebrews warns Christians that it is a terrible thing to fall into His hands and one fast way is to twist His word and actions (the Bible) to suit a demonic agenda.

2 Pet 2:4: Later, God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and turned them into heaps of ashes. He made them an example of what would happen to ungodly people.

2 Pet 2:9 - 10: So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trails, even keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.

10: He is especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire, and who despise authority.

And finally, Revelations 20:15:

And anyone whose name was not written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

TBH, I haven't followed the news but curious:

How does someone 'forge' JAMB result? And then 'forge' the highest score?

Hmmmmm.

Are we not with 7 ribs?

I hope the women would not wail that they earn less than their male counterparts.

FYI I agree that the goal post & even play time should be reduced. Our bodies have different capacities.

This is what women should 'fight' for; unique things that concern them and not rubbish 'oh! Men have this/do this too'; 'oh! death to the patriarchy' and other nonsense.

While at it, why didn't they make the shorts red since that's even England's national colour?

The blue looks fine but it is neither their national colour & it is too bright.

I believe the women would raise further concerns if the colour still isn't working after further trial.

iamL:
Female who engages in hard physical activities rarely experience cramps because hard physical activities is a natural cure for cramps.

Nevertheless, if they do there are drugs celebrities use to stop the flow and pain at any crucial month of their schedule.

Continuous use of those drugs cannot be safe.
