I agree with you The word brethren could be used corporately for a whole congregation and also unsed for biological brothers . But If you read it in context . The meaning is very simple.

Matthew 17:1
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother. . . .

Many passages refers to James as the brother of john . It's very obvious that they were biological brothers even though they were both apostles
.

John 7:5 (AMPC)
For [even] His brothers did not believe in or adhere to or trust in or rely on Him either.

Who was the verse above addressing as his brothers ?

Those were his kinsmen comprising cousins, in addition to close and distant relatives... And which is exactly the same way most languages refer to their relatives

Another example that gladly shows that Mary had no other child other than Jesus is, the search for Jesus in the temple after the feast of the pasch as related in Luke 2:42-50... From that scenario we observed that Jesus was 12 years old and that his parents came to the temple with him alone and searched for him after they discovered he was dead... If truly he had other blood siblings, they should have joined in coming to the temple as well as searching for him...

Secondly all through the scriptures no one is referred to as the son or daughter of Joseph/Mary as we see in the scriptures...E.g James and John Sons of Zebedee, Son of Alphesus etc.. as well as so many other signs...

you people hv just saved my money from Abuja to Lagos, first good thing NL HS DONE FIR ME apart from making me laugh.

You can bring any kind of evidence you wish to bring of Fulani herdsmen activities in your region, I mean anything. Look here my friend, I spend about 6 good hours of my time understanding the demography of the southeast and the grazing fields of Fulani herdsmen in southern Nigeria. All I ever wanted was for any of you to debunk my findings but unfortunately you guys are not doing that, instead you all have resorted to name callings.

Insults is not my thing please and I detest it, you lots can have a nice day since you can't debunk my findings

are you telling me that you can tell what type of grass that grows in the south east(enugu) from the internet? or by using any any environmental softwares? it's very sad. I am presently in Katsina doing my nysc and I will educate you that even in the desert/arid lands of Katsina you see cattles grazing(eating shrubs and dried stalks of guinea corn/millet from the previous planting session. if cattles can still graze in the north with very little rainfall how much more in the sourheast with much rainfall?more grass etc? pls this research of urs is highly faulty and erroneous....

I have been checking if anyone would pencil down sports betting company biz, imagine the amount of greedy youths and even old folks who engage in sports betting? and the companies re increasing day by day...

You know why i love Nairaland guys ?? They're very hard working.

As for the female nairalanders, all they do is sit their lazy ass at home and expect the guys to spend on them as if to say them dey work for us, so therefore we go dey pay them salary or create a thread on how to notice a stingy boyfriend.

I wanted to employ 10 female nairalanders last year, i ended up employing girls from my city, i learned a secret about Nairaland girls, they're not serious in life

stop that, stop generalizing its not the proper... on what basis did you come to draw this conclusion? when did you conduct ur research ? where's ur data ?

icewarmer:
now you have gotten my attention loser what do u want?? A job?,,money??

it's sad that people just get joy in dishing out insults and abuses as frequent as they breath, if that's what Mk you grown up,then it's ah pity.. ur indiscriminate rendering of abuses to people who you don't know and who hv done nothing wrong to you tells much of ur family back ground...#badhomes

I can't believe you would believe the man's story. So you think a 12 years old child would call a mature man that is old to be her that she is ready for sex. The way some of you guys reason baffles me. Anyways, having sex with a minor is rape. It doesn't matter if she consent or not

t's left for the police officers to investigate who's speaking the truth, I am currently serving in Katsina and teaching in one of their sec schools, the girls in my jss one are very small, below 12 years but they all discuss about marriage, sex, etc some even marry at this age. and the girls re not exposed @ all like those we have down south.... so the girls @ such age can even do more than just calling the man, children of this days re corrupt.. but let the police confirm if his lying or not.
lastly if there is mutual consent btw both sides then it's not rape but pedophiles . I have seen marriages btw adults and 11 year old in Katsina, the girl accepted it and even invited me to her marriage ceremony this march. you cant term that rape ..

color]wasteful in what sense. The jet comfortably carried the car and bike to it's destination with ease so what's wasteful about it? That same ride might be bullet proof tested an he/she feels safer in it than bin driven on a ride she knows nothing of.[/quote]that jumbo jet is not meant for that purpose... if he must take the cars and bike there then he should take them by road.... it's because it's @ his disposal...that's abuse of office and advise of the jumbo jet...

castroevans:
Y are u sounding this way, ur comment is more or less like this : u are travelling to the east with ur toyota hiace bus which gat enough space to take ur bike too, would u decide someone else ride ur bike to the east when ur bus can conveniently take it.

it's most likely that the cars and bike ws airlifted to & fro to bauchi for the function. Wich is wasteful in the first place. there re other vehicles & bikes he could use in Bauchi without taking his own. but anyways I never knew Nigeria air force had such jumbo jets among its fleets...

DIKEnaWAR:
Like Ibori, like Saraki. Who the gods want to destroy; they first make haughty and mad.

Saraki is still lying about the truth of his travails. His problem started the day he felt he was bigger than the President of Nigeria(GEJ) and would not be seen deferring to him. He gathered the likes of Amaechi and Danjuma Goje around him and they were constituting nuisance. They disrespected everyone and felt comfortable with it. His new party members saw the trouble he and his crew gave GEJ and decided to cut him to size before he wrecks them. His fight with Asiwaju Tinubu; a dogged fighter and strategist, is nothing but "the best form of defence, being attack". He cut Tinubu to size barely 5 months in his party and Tinubu has decided to deal with him too.

We know his trial is flawed from day one, but he must relinquish that Senate Presidency cos that is the prize at stake. Tinubu has tasted power now and is baying for his blood. He wants Saraki's political career terminated so as to humble him like Alams, forever.

When the gods want to punish a man; they set his own dog after him.

Danjuma Goje, Amaechi and Co shall soon reap their own reward fast. They should have known that no man rises to power quickly in Nigeria by scheming and blackmail. You can only do this by 'appearing' moronic, stupid and loyal to the kingmakers. That was what propelled GEJ to power and places. Buhari too had to learn this in his last outing and it landed the Presidency that eluded him for long in his laps.

The absence of this moronic and stupid disposition and too much scheming destroyed the likes of Ibori, Alams, Timipre Sylva and will eventually add Saraki to the list.

Dogara? He is an establishment man who knows how to 'appear' moronic and stupid for his masters to shine and take the glory. He is the only Speaker of the HoR that was elected with the support of all past Speakers(living or dead ) This is why he is more successful than Saraki and this is why Gbajabiamila(with all his arrogance and scheming) could not win the office.

you have sspoken like a political statesman wwho knows the dynamics of politics in Nigeria and even beyond. my people Say that the goat that must suck its mother's breast must kneel down... Saraki there is no fair pplay in Nigerian politics....if you have erred in any way... then face the consequences

Orikinla:
They look like Igbo girls. The most beautuful girls and women in Africa are Igbo. I saw one young Igbo beauty at a Catholic church in Festac Town in Lagos, I was speechless. Natural Igbo Blonde like my ex girlfriend Chinwe in Shomolu. Her beauty stops traffic whenever she is crossing the street. Queen of Nollywood, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde will not come near her beauty. I saw one post on Shuwa beauties on Nairaland showing young Shuwa damsels with make up. Only one of them with very tempting full boobs impressed me and she looked like an Igbo beauty. When it comes to beauty, Igbo babes are the real #GidiBlues 24/7. Ask FFK. Even Yorubas say any fine Yoruba girl "jo omo Igbo", looks like an Igbo girl. Our mothers have em all.

best compliment ever from an oduduwa...

ireneony:
I'm better looking than them

you cant be the judge to decide who's better looking than each other. allow people to blow ur trumpet....

ireneony :
They are average looking... Nothing special

una don finish this girl, but ireneony even if you are beautiful does that prevent you from sying the truth even when its obvious and visible to the blind too? as they sy beauty is in the eyes of the beholder....

Your lady cant intercede on behalf of anybody. All the same, we are saddened by the soldier's death

Our lady does intercede for her children and the whole mankind just as she interceded @ the wedding @ cana in Galilee. and she does so till now. # heretic

May our Lady, the Queen of all SOULS intercede for him to her Son to grant the dead soul eternal rest, Amin.[/quote]eternal rest grant him oh Lord and let thy perpetual light shine upon him.

everyone is shouting pedophiles as if it's new in Nigeria, I am a corper serving in Katsina and for just 6 months of teaching in one of the sec schools, I have witnessed 3 girls marry and drop out of school,it's normal thing, the latest happened on 6th March when an 11 yrs old student in jss one married,she invited me for the marriage ceremony. I told the principal about it but he couldn't do anything,he told me it's their custom,and religion too permits it though not the best. I ws told that parents give out their children to trusted men when they re still young,to be certain that they re virgins. that if they grow up they re most likely to have lost their virginity..... the girls too like it, they tell me when they re most likely to marry.

Raiders:
you are very ignorant to say the little girl was enjoying being rape. I can't believe a woman will make this statement. The rapist might have threaten the little girls life if she tells anyone that she is being rape.

and the girl would call the man that she's ready? is that forceful penetration? ( assumming the man's account is true.)

why you come dey insult am now? it's unfair,everyone is catching fun and you begin to insult the guy. even if you think your richer than him remember that no one knows tomorrow. he careful and apologize to him.

Quakertellicus1:
Nice....but let my people marry before they offload.....

Before you jump on me, kudos to the guy and the girl for standing by each other. But the reason why we have marriage is because some people are not trustworthy at all.

Also, I wonder if the guy would be just as accepting when some guy gets his daughter pregnant in the future...

And then, who was funding the upkeep of the baby when they were students? Something tells me the parents are wealthy enough to do that...because no student, sans salary can look after any child. At least I know I won't be able to look after a child with my monthly upkeep money as a student. (To say nothing of the long hours I spent studying).

And sorry.....but if you cannot control yourself before marriage.....you may not be able to control yourself after marriage. All this no sex before marriage is to give you the backbone to resist temptation from outside both before...and crucially after you marry. Because...you will be tempted after marriage.

So...please....this couple is no good example. Am sorry, but if you want to have kids....get married first. Sort your finaces first. Don't let your parents be looking after kids in their young old age.

Let's stop glorifying this pregnancy before marriage. It is not right.

Modified: I have been critiqued for my above comments....so I would like to add the following.

The reason why marriage was created, or evolved as an institution was not because someone wanted to act judgemental, but because human beings are not trustworthy people. Human beings need something to realize that the act of agreeing to spend the rest of your life with someone is not something to be taken lightly.

Also, let's be frank. NYSC allawees are not enough to look after a baby. I suspect strongly that the parents of the couple were involved in helping finance the child's upkeep. When you get married....you are indicating that you are prepared for the financial implications. That is why all them babymamas on show....if they were the son of a poor person, they won't be able to manage at all.Please don't have a baby when you are not ready for it...finance wise or otherwise. Because...if your parents are still helping out moneywise with your baby...perhaps you should have not gotten pregnant in the first place.

Lastly, yes, I think that sex before marriage is wrong. Not because I am a prude, or I wish to tell people how to live their lives(I can;t anyway, I am just some random single guy in his thirties who likes typing about aimless things)....but because, as I said earlier..if you can get through without sex before marriage...you can get through with sex after marriage....and you would have experience to handle the temptations that come. Because...all them sweet abuna that you saw before the d-day....will still be there waiting for you after you come back from the honeymoon.If you can resist them now...you can resist them after.

And peace to all them that disagreed with me. I am not condemning the copule to eternal whatever. I am not God. But...at the same time,let us not pretend that it is okay.

your comment is too long.....try to be brief

l am currently doing my nysc in katsina and in one remote LG called ingawa, there is nothing you won't see in the north,I Was surprised when I saw a newly constructed MATCH VIEWING center. fitted with t.v. and satellite tv.Boldly written on the building was constructed by SURE P.
