Christianity Etc › Re: Cape Town Drenched In Purple In Memory Of Archbishop Desmond Tutu by derecho(m): 10:17pm On Dec 30, 2021
Like I said, I don't know the shades of meanings you'll like to give to it But Homosexuality is A NO-NO and if The late Archbishop supported it then he wasn't speaking the Bible. Stealing and the vices you mentioned are equally wrong and should be condemned.
I hope if I condemn those vices, you'll find words like Thieving-phobe, SkullminingPhobe etc?

Well those were your labels and you are entitled to them.Israel had existed long before your Hitler Germany or Apartheid story .

One doesn't need to be intelligent to know what "threat" means. Take your time and read up a little about the Holocaust and pogrom.
By your token,Scattered refugees can't be a threat?
If Hitler's action was okay and it solely about the Jews, the other nations he fought were also Jews and landgrabbers?...No be today Antisemitism start sha.

Israelis have always stood out so hating them was normal for wicked people who are threatened.
I'm not too disturbed because everything happening to them had been written. But Israel can never be utterly destroyed no matter what.
JayFredo:
Hitler saw scattered refugees around the world as a threat, you’re funny bro. Hitler knew this is what they are land grabbers, apartheid wicked people, if he had not massacre the 6m Jews, maybe the Germans would have been like todays palestines, but thank God he saw the future
Foreign Affairs › Re: Israeli Airstrike Sets Port of Latakia Ablaze (Pics, Video) by derecho(m): 9:05pm On Dec 30, 2021
And when did Hitler's view or South Africa's choice become the touchstone for righteousness?
When was Hitler born?
Don't you know Mohammed's stance against The Jews?

Just to help you a little, Hitler saw them as a threat.
JayFredo:
Hitler was neither Muslim or Arabs, he saw the kind of pple they’re before us. Even South Africa doesn’t have a diplomatic relationship with Israel so what’s ur point

Who is brainwashed between one who believes blowing yourself up to get 72virgins and one knows there's no marriage or immorality in Heaven?
Listen, I don't talk religion I discuss experiential truth.Go online and see how aggressive Muslims are whenever you expose the lies in Islam.Trying to silence and kill anyone who refuses the brainwashing or converts.
Friend, forget...if you weren't brainwashed, Islam can never be a choice for any thinker.I dare you to shelve violence and forceful conversion...if many Muslims don't leave Islam, then know it's the way to go.
Finally, the Christian faith isn't about brainwashing. It is not churchgoing. It is a personal relationship with God through His Son. This you can never get or understand by the chants you are taught in Koranic schools or terror camps.
So continue bombing churches and kidnapping little girls with Christian names.That can NEVER stop Christians.

It's overt you don't understand who Christians are.
In case you don't know, Jesus is God!! He laid down His life for the redemption of man And He took it up again.The Jews didn't kill Him...Ask questions if you don't understand something..
Most Israelites aren't Christians but they are special.The earlier you understand it, the better for you.

It is beyond religion...Though that's what you've been taught to believe.
You should have asked yourself why the Arabs/Muslim world want them destroyed.
Lovenorth:
Christians always support the people that killed their so-called God to be terrorizing innocent civilians and they turn to demand justice when Boko boz killed them
Celebrities › Re: Victoria Inyama Tackles Pastor Funke Felix-Adejumo (Video) by derecho(m): 5:05pm On Dec 30, 2021
I'm not defending her person but what she said. It's a normal thing that doesn't require anointing to say.
My grouse with Victoria is her rudeness...what does she mean by "she's the one who wears the trousers"? If she had admitted the statement isn't wrong then went on to tell us why we shouldn't listen to her, that'd have been understandable.
Myer:
[size=8pt][/size]

I get your point.
For someone who isn't so familiar with Funke Felix, there is nothing wrong in this her statement.

But for someone familiar with her works and ministry I can get where Victoria Inyama is coming from.
Funke Felix was the same woman askind mothers and fathers to sow seeds of 500 and 1000 dollars to tap into her Grace so that their children could get married.

She's the wife of Mr Felix of Agape ministry.
She herself has continued to share how she wanted no part of ministry cos it was her husband who was called and not her.

But some where along the line she found a voice, a niche to be a voice to women even though she's not called into it.

And because if that she has continued to mislead several unsuspecting and unbridled female believers and even their men.
Celebrities › Re: Charley Boy Mocks Ooni Of Ife: 'Na For Instagram Them Divorce You’ by derecho(m): 4:41pm On Dec 30, 2021
Have you reasoned it the other way?Not an advocate of polygamy or serial marriage but what values do these women have? What were their expectations in the marriage? Is marrying the Ooni like every other normal marriage? Forget the social life of the king. Do you know the rituals, the dos and don'ts involved with his office? If not that girls of nowadays don't have value for marriage, you call yourself a prophetess and you just jumped into marriage with a divorcee.What kind of woman is that? And you expect sane people to take her serious?If you ask me,Naomi isn't a straightforward person.
ValCon888:
Let's call a spade a spade.

The office of the Ooni of Ife will always be held in high esteem and regard irrespective of who is on the throne.

However, all the Ooni's wives cannot be wrong. Just the same way all FFK's wives cannot be wrong.

If you keep breaking up with your partners for one reason or the other, the problem just might be you.
Celebrities › Re: Victoria Inyama Tackles Pastor Funke Felix-Adejumo (Video) by derecho(m): 4:28pm On Dec 30, 2021
I told you that I don't usually listen to her but what she said isn't wrong.Even wise woman should know that already.
Whenever you see someone agitated when presented with the truth, there's a wrong and destructive spirit in that person.
What is important is do your part even if your spouse hasn't started doing his.
Your submission/chaste character would melt any man NOT your love.If you are a student of the Bible, this shouldn't be strange to you.

Moreover, she has ,I guess, a ministry to the women. Just like a sister to sister talk.Most men won't listen to women.

Myer:
Good.

So why does she seem to peculiarise the fact that a woman is the one that should make the man successful when it's supposed to be both ways?
Celebrities › Re: Victoria Inyama Tackles Pastor Funke Felix-Adejumo (Video) by derecho(m): 3:39pm On Dec 30, 2021
YES
Myer:
Since you're a man, permit me to ask;
Do you believe a man's job in marriage is to make his wife successful?
Celebrities › Re: Victoria Inyama Tackles Pastor Funke Felix-Adejumo (Video) by derecho(m): 3:29pm On Dec 30, 2021
If you understand what marriage is, you'll not type the bolded.
I'm not a follower of funke but Victoria should have kept quiet.Why personalize her message? So she expects the husband to come and "preach" about her.
Every wise woman builds her home but the foolish tears it down with her hand.Victoria just showed she's bitter and disrespectful.
Myer:
Funke Felix has somehow managed to put unnecessary pressure on women.

Why should a wife's purpose be to make her man successful?
Why can't the man be successful without the woman?

That said, Victoria Inyama is right and if she happened to be the reason her husband is successful, that doesnt became a yardstick for other women to follow.

The way a man should not rely on a woman to be successful is the same way a woman should not rely on a man to be successful. Period

Josephamstrong1:
Now we're learning.
Have you also heard about the phrase: "Love isn't just enough?"
Then what's enough?

Love itself is a virtue, but one outta OTHER Virtues.
The bolded is an opinion by those who don't fully understand Love.
What I quoted was a Bible verse, I thought you know.
Love is so deep that all the commandments is summarized into one- Love.
Even the Bible says God is Love.
The more we understand Love, the more see we've not started.
For example, if you Love, submission won't be an issue.If you love, you'll want the best for your spouse.You can't love someone and want to disrespect them.Love can make you die for someone if need be.

If you want to see love as a virtue, then it's the chief of virtues AND THe ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS.

It was Love that made God give His only begotten Son, while we were yet sinners-nothing attractive about us.
Hence, love can make you give all to an undeserving person. The issue of attraction is immaterial. Love elicits Mercy...

Love is never blind, it chooses to be blind and hopes for the best.
I wish I fit continue
Family › Re: Don't risk marriage with these set of people by derecho(m): 4:54pm On Dec 28, 2021
Do you know the meaning of Love?
Ever read Love covers a multitude of sins?
My brother, love isn't those things people call love.
Josephamstrong1:
FORGIVENESS is a virtue. Some men lack it. It's a level of attainment in growth and maturity.
While they tell you Forgiveness is Divine. it's no joke.
A point in a man's life comes when his level of forgiveness is tested...lol!
Marriage is a healer to eyes blinded by love.
In marriage, every aspect of your life as a man is tested.

Opeyemiextra:
These are very valid points because we have come to understand that love is not just enough to sustain a relationship. Communication, understanding and a little compromise here and there are important for the success of marriage or any relationship at all.
When you understand what true Love is, you'll know it's more than enough.
If you love a person, why won't you communicate? Will it be hard to forgive or forgo?
Love is not an easy task...that's why it was given the husband methinks
Health › Re: Help! How Can I Save My Kid Brother In-law From Taking meth? by derecho(m): 4:25pm On Dec 28, 2021
A policeman you can bribe will give you away. Most people in Nigeria don't trust the police.
If that guy finds out that you planned his arrest, hmmn..
If all these meth stories we are hearing from Eastern Nigeria is true Then there is need for missionaries to storm the East. These lads are the future of Eastern Nigeria... If many young people are falling for drug abuse, something is missing. Many of us were emboldened by the word of God we heard from church NOT necessarily the talk at home.The kind of confidence it builds makes it hard for anyone to cajole or threaten you.
wunmi590:

Bribe some police men, to come and pick him up and let then lock him up in the cell and celebrate the new year with some hardened criminals...

Just behave as if you didn't know anything about it, let the police tell him they have been trailing him since he started taking that stupid stuff...

Believe me, he will never go there again, make him dey there for complete one week..

How do you know foolish woman, when love have blinded your eyes.
Marrying a foolish woman is not a reason for you to kill her. Why not take her back to her parents and demand for whatsoever you have spent on her head.
Did I endorse killing anyone? All I said is avoid a foolish woman. Wise men can tell who a foolish woman is.Wise men aren't blinded by Love, for them Love is a decision and responsibility not just an uncontrollable emotion.
One of what makes you wise, is the ability to see problem afar off and hide yourself.
A foolish man for example is one who knows a depraved girl and still goes on to marry her.
A fool rages on and will be destroyed.
A wise man won't marry a foolish woman and no wise girl would agree to marry a foolish man.

Summary,
A wise man will not be found in the company of fools.Apart from being spiritual, just listen in to many girls and you'll know they are vain.
You maybe able to tolerate her folly but what about the impact on your children?

If only people would understand that disrespect isn't a tribal thing.It's a human thing and stems from pride.Any proud individual can disrespect anybody.
You can't be too sure you won't/can't do worse until your heart is transformed.
Ill-informed or ignorant people would think a Yoruba boy can't do this but many unregenerated ones do and worse to non-Yorubas.
True Humility isn't cheap and it's beyond prostrating or genuflecting to greet.
Until self dies, you can't be humble. You'll just be acting it.

Summary
Before you call him omoale or say that Yorubas don't do like that, understand that any life that hasn't been transformed by Jesus can not live above pride and Self.
What he did, can come in different packages- Disdain for others,harming others for your benefit, and so on.

Training up a child in the WAY he should go doesn't stop a child from exploring other WAYS to go. I have seen parents who meticulously raised their kids but at the end they turned out to be what their parents never envisaged. Training up a child properly is very good but all I'm trying to say is that it doesn't rule out completely the possibility of him/her exploring other ways.
Brilliant but truth is what is that way they should go?
Do you know, there are children who will never explore armed robbery no matter what?
I'm not talking about moral lessons or forcing children to go to church. There's an encounter you'll have that you'll not wish for another life.
I've heard many people say Pastor's Kids(PKs) are the most corrupt but do you know that some of these Pastors focus more on the congregation than their families. Many are hypothetical hence their children want to explore other lives.
Is there a possibility to tear away? Yes..but those children with a firm spiritual grooming will ALWAYS return because they'd soon discover the emptiness in other ways.Don't forget, that godly parents are not the regular religious parents.
I agree there are forces that want them to stray But God too wants them to walk the path of righteousness.

Summary,
Moral lessons are not enough.

As much as I don't expect a man to beat his wife,I expect a wife(groomed woman) not to be a trouble maker.
Like I usually say, Never marry a foolish woman.
The first Letter in "Woman" should stand for Wisdom.
There are women married to agberos/jagudas(urchins/ruffians) but don't get beaten.Is it because the agbero is cultured?Nah
Those women know how to manage those men.

Wow!
This is not a good news.

This is wife number 3 for the Ooni of Ife. It can no longer be the wives fault. This may be a perfect moment for the HRH to take a break and do a complete self evaluation.

According to the wife#3, she tried her best, but the monarch’s public identity is at variance with her true self…I’m sorry to say that if the king truly cared he should have discovered and established a method of operation to protect his Queen and make her super comfortable.

As much as I admire this king, it’s time for him discover why these wives refused to stay. He may need to seek advice from iku yeye baba of Oyo.
Again, not a good news for the Ife people and the entire Nigerians.
Assuming this story is true..
So because she said what she said, and she's number 3, the king must be the problem?
Have you asked yourself the kind of women these women are?
I only respect the first one though I don't know her.I learnt she left because she doesn't like the fetish stuffs attached to the Kingship. The Second one looks like his former girlfriend who just wanted to be queen but doesn't know the challenges.
This one that is just quoting Bible, has a fair knowledge as a Yoruba girl of what it involves. Even a baby Christian knows that you shouldn't be unequally yoked to an unbeliever.You went on to marry him, knowing he isn't just an unbeliever but a divorcee. What were you expecting? That you'd change him? Are you the HolySpirit?
I wonder the nonsense she's giving as excuse.
Na after you born pikin, your brain come open.That's been the game all along.Just creating problem for these young children.
If you aren't ready for marriage, just stay away from it.

Remember, he was the only one who shook hands with the head of the dantata family whom even the governors present could not.
