In the case of the guy, this is the very height of wickedness, callousness, selfishness, and inhumanity to have ever taken residence in the souless soul of a sub-human. He slept with the girl for eight years, derived every benefit from her like a husband should derive from a wife, and heartlessly tossed her aside like an overused rag. Satan is this guy's coach and mentor in the art of destruction. In the case of the girl, I have never stumbled upon universe-size, hopeless idiocy and stupidity of her calibre in all my existence such that I tremble to imagine the possibility of a greater. She may protest all she wants against the end of a fruitless relationship, but my concern is where she dropped her brain eight years ago before she entered the relationship. I hope she can find it and use it to make better decisions going forward. |
You will see them singing Tinubu's praises on his meagre and incomplete achievements while forming deaf and dumb when the administration of Tinubu is exposed for its romantic affair with gross corruption. |
Suicideboy:Bitter comment over someone else's achievement. |
This is what happened when the robot's job application was rejected. |
yinkus6750:If it is not by the roadside where else should it be? |
Dshocker:You talk as if marriage is a binding contract that is without the option of separation. |
The Chinese may be racists but what will you call the hateful, inciteful statements made by the Yorubas, their rulers and politicians against the Igbo people? Suddenly, the Chinese are racists towards blacks as if the blacks even tolerate each other. Nothing new here. |
Holluwhakemmy:As in seriously |
Tickles001:Lies. "To be a man nawa o," "men have shorter lives than women because of work hazards," "men carry the weight of the family on their shoulders," "a lot of men commit suicide over their inability to provide for their families..." etcetera. Do these statements ring a bell? That doesn't mean we shouldn't point out the ills in the system that is increasingly making it impossible to keep up.Granted, however, that does not mean the ills in the system are the sole reason for the quotes above depicting the burden of men. Everything that can be done to make childbirth easier for women has been done and more are being developed. Provision has not received such attention to ease the burden on men.Does that make childbearing any less dangerous? Haven't you read or heard women dying during childbirth even in reputable hospitals surrounded by well-qualified doctors? But how are men particularly designed for it that women are not?Do women possess strong frame like the men? The natural strength of men helps them to undertake physically demanding work. This is why God made the man the head of the house. He is much stronger by nature. |
While recovering from the pain of childbirth some men still want sexual gratification from their wives. They don't care whether she is in the mood for it or not. They love themselves more than they love their wives. All they want is their satisfaction. The best a woman can do for herself to mitigate most of the challenges she will face in her marriage is to marry the right person, or marry someone who loves her more than himself. |
Tickles001:The same way men are designed to put food on the table. Why then cry about hardship? |
Host78:Shows you know nothing about marital unions that were made from God's direction. A lot of christians, including pastors, make the same mistake of choosing their partner without seeking God's opinion on the issue. When that marital union hits the rocks people like you assume that it broke down despite God's hand in it. You are WRONG. I am not saying that any marriage that has God's hand in it is immune from the challenges marital unions face. They may face challenges, but the Lord, who has seen the end from the beginning, knows that they are the perfect pair to weather the storms of life without sinking or breaking apart. Marriage goes beyond verifying one's sexual compatibility with a person, goes beyond physical beauty, or material possessions. It is a covenant that should be honoured as long as one of them still breathes. Yes, marriage is spiritual. Two people become one—in body and spirit. How is it not spiritual? The Word of God says that whoever sleeps with a prostitute has become one body with her...and whoever is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:16 and 17). Who do you think gives life to the embryo in the womb? Science? Your perception of marriage colours your expectations and your approach to it. This is what separates marital unions that are thriving from those that are barely surviving or on the brink of collapse. |
I concur with the op. In fact, this has been my opinion for a long time now. The husband to a woman who abuses a child should be arrested and made to face the same punishment as the wife provided that he was well-aware of the on-going abuse, and let the child constantly go through the harrowing trauma of the physical abuse. He is complicit in the crime and should be made to face the same music as the wife at the court of law. |
Host78:You may know such a thing as being led by the Spirit of God. True Christians do not gamble on their compatibility with the opposite sex. They let God lead them to that person who is actually their heart's desire. That is what I meant by gold being compatible with gold, not bronze or aluminum.... You may declare yourself gold and I have no issue with that, but in this context it is highly debatable. |
Host78:You may have highlighted the experience of a few girls, however, your observations cannot represent the majority. You paint them bad just to get your message across, but it is a misrepresentation of the truth. A true believer is gold, and she will only go after gold—a true believer of the opposite gender, and she won't make any apologies about it. |
franchasofficia:Well-spoken. Problem is only a handful of men understand the plight of ladies in relationships. |
Before you come for her head, understand that women, while not enjoying the aging advantage of men, are expected to gamble away their time sticking to a relationship that may never yield any fruit. It is unfair to them. In the end, after being through failed relationships and going into their 30s the same men label them 'evening newspaper'. A man could still be sexually active in his 60s and 70s, but not so for women. |
It is not only the fact that South Africans have no shame being lazy and unproductive—they even see it as their right...something to kill for. |
KanwuliaExtra:I knew this name rang a bell. Good old nairaland days. |
Pitiable. Many years ago, this used to be the best bank in my opinion. Today, they have crashed from that position. |
A deep dive into one of the many accomplishments of the Lord Jesus Christ which focuses on our redemption rights through the prism of power (reigning and transferred). This breakdown of the Word of God is timeless and impactful. Sin has always been a dictator ruling with absolute control over the body, subjecting mankind to slavery towards death. However, Christ has broken its dictatorship, and under His government we have been redeemed. The roles are reversed now. Through Christ's government we have become kings and queens so that we are masters over sin that it should no longer have any claim to power over our mortal bodies. Thanks for this fresh perspective of the Word of God. |
Lovely read. A true friend may also make mistakes, but their mistakes do not define them because they turn their mistakes into wisdom as students in the school of life. |
FuglyGurl:The puppeteer has spoken, the puppet shall do accordingly. |
Truthseeker10:I'm sorry, but do you need specific address like 12, Starry Avenue, Andromeda galaxy? |
MaxInDHouse:Misinformation is the primary reason the scriptures in plain english appear like calculus to you. If you keep holding on to this erroneous view of yours you have a date with rude awakening. |
MaxInDHouse:My previous replies already answered your questions. |
MaxInDHouse:You want to read your own interpretation into the scriptures. Adam died because he lost the nature God gave him and donned the sinful nature. That does not mean Adam made up for his sin by death. No human can actually redeem himself or herself from the consequences of sin. It was only the second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ who could do that. |
MaxInDHouse:Romans 6:23 talks about spiritual death which is eternal separation from God in hell. It also says that the gift of God is eternal life. Take note of the word in bold format. It simply contrasts eternal life with eternal death. The death, however, referred to in the book of Hebrews 9:27 is the physical death all men must experience, a doorway to a new reality—the spiritual reality. This scripture made physical death or decomposition of matter an unalterable physical law of God that applies to the living. |
MaxInDHouse:Christ, the second Adam, who knew no sin tasted physical death as well. What then was the purpose of His physical death if it accomplished nothing? Any person who has shed the corruptible to be clothed with the incorruptible will not experience the judgment that separates the sinner from the the righteous. Physical death is the consequence of the fall of man. There is no choice in the matter. Everyone after Adam must return to the dust. Spiritual death, on the other hand, is a factor of choice. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, offers eternal life. This is contingent on accepting Him as one's personal Lord and Saviour. This indicates the exercise of choice. |
MaxInDHouse:Max, to begin with, the 'death' you referenced is spiritual in nature —eternal separation from God. The death you seem to imply is the physical death which all men must experience whether righteous or unrighteous. It has nothing to do with judgment. Remember the second death mentioned in the book of Revelation chapter 20? According to your logic, people who have paid for their sins with physical death must experience a second physical death, right? In retrospect, you said people pay for their sins with death. What in the world does that even mean? What demonic doctrine is that? If people could actually pay for their sins with death then the sacrifice of Christ on the cross was irrelevant. It would also mean that the accountability required of man in judgment would become redundant as both evil and righteous men die. When it is said that the Lord Jesus brought someone back to life the exact location of the resurrected person is technically unknown. However, one can speculate that the righeous souls went to a spiritual place of rest called Abraham's Bosom (see Luke 16:22). I say it is technically unknown because time does not work in eternity the way it works here. A person may die and may be awaiting their judgment when, through the fervent prayers of someone else or a group of people, they are resurrected. There is no cookie-cutter approach to the spiritual experiences of people who experienced clinical death and were resurrected. |
Truthseeker10:I said when a person dies the next thing is judgment. What is the meaning of judgment to you? Does it mean heaven or hell to you? Are you trying to play ignorant to the meaning of judgment? Where were they when Jesus brought them back to life? That is not the subject of this discussion. |
My heart goes out to those in captivity, especially the children. They don't deserve this cruelty meted out to them. This exemplifies the harsh reality of being a Nigerian. I pray they are rescued. |
