God is not concerned about how married people are enjoying their sex. If you want to say a particular sex pattern is bad, then give a tangible reason why, and stop bringing God into it
If oyibo never showed all these to you, you never would have done it.
AntiChristian: Which verse forbids anal sex in the Bible and promotes regular VG sex? What about MouthAction, intimacy gadgets, fingering etc?
Which sex style is promoted by Jesus (or Songs of Solomon) in the Bible?
Romans 2:14. If sayt's children did not show people that they have done abominations and made it look nice, no one would have gone anal most especially as it is even naturally blocked and locked

Janosky: In the 3rd century CE, The expression "I AM" that the Egyptians attached to their deity was carried over by Greeks to give a faulty interpretation to Hebrew "Enyeh" ( which correctly means "I will be". The KJV dictionary proves that Ehyeh (G1961) means " I will be", Exodus 3:12,14 & Zechariah 2:25 is very solid evidence. See the screenshots

SIRTee15: ..THE WAY YHWH IS WRITTEN IN HEBREW IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY THE PAGAN IDOL yhwh is written.
The meaning is different and the way they are worshipped is different.
No ancient text ever mentioned any group of people apart from Israelites worshipped YHWH. There's no inscription on any ancient idol that states Yhwh. No ancient manuscript of cuneiform or tablet mentioned yhwh as a Canaanite god. All ancient evidence that we have mentioned yhwh as God of Israel not God of any other people.
The only evidence scholars use to back their hypothesis is from the bible itself. They used secular reasoning to denounce the bible as false and then deduce their own argument from the same source.
The writings are not the same and the pronunciation is not the same. So I wonder what made u conclude yhwh is a No ancient text ever mentioned any group of people apart from Israelites worshipped YHWH
I will advise u to do more study on historicity of YHWH b4 jumping to wrong conclusion and sink into heresy.
U can start with this link which is shorter, then proceed to the longer video.
I understand that everyone agrees that YHWH was mostly used by Isreal however they keep attaching it's basis to Canaan and pantheon and all the pagan things. And then Isreal went frolicking with Canaan.
The whole transaction just makes me cut away that part of Israel's idolatries with Canaan and just stick to clear non contentious English parts.
SmartPolician: No, you don't need a yellow card. You can travel with NIN if you are traveling in commercial bus. However, the delays are higher when you travel with your NIN and faster when you have your Nigerian passport.
Xpgroove, note that your Nigerian MTN will stop working the moment you get to Cotonou. You should buy a Ghanian SIM card once you get to Aflao. I think it's about 70 Ghana Cedis. That will enable you roam your Nigerian MTN line and stay active on WhatsApp while in Ghana.
Please note that things are by far cheaper in Nigeria than in Ghana. The Cedis just have numerical strength but economically useless. So, get ready to change tons of naira into Cedis at the Seme border or at Chisco terminal at Circle.
Please use an organised transport company like GUO, Chisco or GIG. Their fare covers everything you will need to tip border control and policemen. Enjoy your visit!
No need to buy some when he can pay for roaming with MTN
SIRTee15: Once again u are making the error of believing the personal name of God is the word YHWH. I already made it clear his personal name isn't the word YHWH.
Since you agree that yhwh is not His Name whether personal or otherwise, then it stands to reason that it can belong to Canaanite god or any god or thing.
And therefore, it is right for Christians to completely discard and reject it especially as it even claimed by a Canaanite god, the same Canaan and their gods, The Supreme God wanted to annihilate.
SIRTee15: HIS PERSONAL NAME IS DEFINED AS I AM THAT I AM. That should be your focus. Is there any other deity whose name is I AM THAT I AM. The answer is no. No other God in this world has a non causative bearing name. None.
No issue here
SIRTee15: Besides if u reject YHWH because it's associated with a Canaanite god, u would have to reject the name Elohim also. because El is equally regarded as a Canaanite god. Infact ancient canaanites and semitic people worship El as the most senior god of the Canaanite pantheon.
"El" is actually not confined to Canaan alone as we have "el" in Igbo for elochukwu and eloka, in Edo we have Elo and Eluwe and in Urhobo we have Elohor. Also in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Uganda, they also have el.
Even Isaac got Isreal has the "el" as given directly by God.
So "el" is universal and cannot be claimed to belong to a specific society.
But no one claims owners of the word Yahweh.
SIRTee15: Moreso, u have to reject prophets sent by God who has YHWH in their names including Isaiah, Elisha, Elijah, Zechariah, Jeremiah, John the baptist.
Isaiah “YHWH is salvation” Jeremiah. “YHWH exalts” or “YHWH appoints” Obadiah ‘ “Servant of YHWH” Zephaniah “YHWH has hidden” or “YHWH protects” Zechariah “YHWH remembers” Elijah “My God is YHWH” John YHWH is gracious
Elijah means my God is YHWH. A prophet of Almighty God goes by the name my God is YHWH.
Nothing there says yhwh. All say the Holy exclusive Name we call "God"!
I am very certain that if any one should call God, Sango, every Christian will never agree.
SIRTee15: A claim is not the Truth. Pls don't confuse both. ...Truth is an objective evidence.
I never said a claim is Truth. I clearly said a fact not rebutted, is deemed True.
SIRTee15: Scholars have yet to explain to us where the name I AM THAT I AM comes from outside of the bible. They can only speculate ancient Israelites invented it but can't produce any evidence for this.
Scholars are yet to provide evidence linking both YHWH as one.
I find no reason or cause to seek where I Am comes from because it is very clear on its own nor care about yhwh since he is a Canaanite god
SIRTee15: Name means nothing. Almighty God was once called Baal, that doesn't mean he's the Canaanite idol also called Baal.
“And it shall be at that day,” saith the LORD, “that thou shalt call me my husband and shalt call me no more Baal. For I will take away the names of the Baal out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name — Hosea 2:16–17 (KJV)
The Name of God is everything. For in His Name alone, the earth shakes, doors open, evil flees.
And Hosea 2:6 shows that she was serving Baal and God responded against her even though He draws her back.
A one-time gift vs. a recurring obligation: Abraham gave a tithe of the spoils of war to Melchizedek on a single, specific occasion to honor God after a military victory. The Bible does not mention him doing so again. In contrast, a monthly tithe is a regular, recurring financial requirement.
If the bible records that he had the wisdom of giving tithe one time, does common sense not tell you that he will try to maintain the wisdom he had by doing it again?
forhire: Spoils of war vs. personal income: Abraham's gift was from the plunder taken in battle, not his personal flocks, herds, or general income. He then returned the remaining spoils to the king of Sodom, taking nothing for himself. This is markedly different from demanding a tenth of a believer's regular salary.
As the kings said, was it not in the exercise of his rights to keep the gains of war or to give them away? In fact,, is the giving away not a proof of his right of ownership and claim of the spoils of war?
Did anyone demand him to give the 10th?
Stop twisting the scriptures.
forhire: Voluntary act vs. a legal command: Abraham's giving was a voluntary, spontaneous act of worship and gratitude, performed centuries before the Mosaic Law was established. The practice of tithing was later instituted as a mandatory tax under the law given to Moses to support the Levites and the temple system. This legalistic system was fulfilled and abolished by Jesus. Principles of interpretation
Yet, the disciples kept the Sabbath. Adultery and same sexissm are still prohibited and Christ even commanded "keep the commandments". So you are very very wrong.
forhire: Doctrine from example vs. command: Interpreting a narrative or a single descriptive event as a binding universal rule is a flawed method of biblical interpretation. While Abraham's act offers a beautiful example of faithful generosity, it was not presented as a command for all believers to follow. For example, Christians do not practice animal sacrifices just because they are described in the Old Testament.
How many times does it take for Joseph run away from adultery for it to be a Law?
And did God not clearly Say obey my commandments, statutes, ordinances?
forhire: New Testament emphasis on generous giving: The New Testament encourages generous, freewill giving, but it does not mandate a specific percentage like the tithe. The focus is on the state of the giver's heart—that giving should be cheerful, not reluctant or under compulsion. In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul says, "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
And in Exodus, a gun was placed to everyone's head before they gave? Or Exodus 25:2: does not exist in your bible?
As I said, you are very very wrong.
forhire: Typology and Christ's priesthood: The book of Hebrews actually uses Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek to make a theological point about Christ's superior priesthood, not to command tithing. It argues that since Abraham (and by extension his descendant Levi) gave a tithe to Melchizedek, Melchizedek's priesthood was superior to the Levitical one. This ultimately points to Jesus, who is a priest in the order of Melchizedek, and the new covenant he established is superior to the old.
Therefore, to construct a rigid, mandatory monthly tithing doctrine for the modern church primarily from Abraham's one-time, voluntary tithe of spoils is to misinterpret the biblical context and purpose of the event.
Was the point of Hebrew not to establish the superiority and betterness of Christ? And even at that, did Paul say that Christ cannot receive tithes?
Clearly, your jealousy and hatred for thieves on the pulpit has made you now bend The Law of The Lord upto the point of teaching wrong things
I will also strongly advise u to be very cautious what u accept as true from Scholars. Most of their claim are theory in practice and very few has empirical or objective evidence to back it.
There may have been a Canaanite god called yhwh but the definition of his name is different from Almighty God. This idol is referred to as the god of thunder and war, it's defined as a god creating and sustaining the life of a newborn child. And he's believed to be a lesser god compared to El. The etymology of his name is non-causative, it's worshippers believed this idol is caused.
Scholars have admitted this idol called yhwh is definitely not the biblical YHWH- they are uniquely different, but what they have done is deny the evidence of the unique YHWH in the bible as forgery or possible later inventions, then speculated that ancient Israelites changed the yhwh idol to a supreme deity.
However, what the scholars will not tell u is that the worship of this lesser idol yhwh persisted even after Israel made YHWH their national God. If YHWH and this lesser yhwh are the same deity, one will expect a synchronization of it's worship when he was elevated to a supreme being. Instead what we see is persistent difference in their respective mode of worship.
For example In 1 Kings 12, Jeroboam I (northern Israel) sets up golden bulls ( representative of yhwh) at Dan and Bethel, saying: “Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt!”
That shows that yhwh was still being worshiped in an image-form — something the prophets condemned as idolatry.
Moreover, canaanites regard Asherah as yhwh consort. Something the Lord God condemned when he said 'Here O Israel, the Lord your God is One'. He also made it clear that
' There is no God beside me'....'Beside me, there's no other GOD'
And he clearly told them to destroy any Asherah idols or poles when they enter Canaan land. He also ordered Asherah poles to be moved from the temple.
2 Kings 23:6
“Josiah brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD outside Jerusalem to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron and beat it to dust and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.”
All these points to the clear distinction btw any canaanites idol that may have misnamed yhwh and the Almighty God. They obviously have separate identities.
It is not that I accept the claim but the fact i find that people cannot validly deny and rebut it.
Which means that it stands as True because this is usually how all Truths stand (Law of a fact not rebutted, is deemed True)
And you know basically this is how the bible successfully stands as True despite all the attacks.
So, righteousness dictates that what happens to the right hand must happen to the left.
Then, my next objection is that seeing that the word Yahweh is corrupted by being a name shared by a Canaanite god, then knowing God is Holy and His Name must be Holy, there is no way that He would accept sharing a name with a Canaanite god.
Absolutely impossible! Most especially seeing all the other Holy Names He has.
So this leads me to believe and conclude that Yahweh cannot be the referring to The Holy One of Isreal.
SIRTee15: I'm not sure I fully understand your argument here. I initially thought u wanted to know why the name YHWH is associated with other canaanites gods.
because the secular argument has always been El, Asherah and YHWH are all canaanites gods. That Israelites were the ones who adopted YHWH and elevated him to a only True God status.
I thought u were looking for contra evidence to above secular and Scholastic claim.
Once again, the knowledge of YHWH goes beyond Canaan. There is evidence people of Egypt and Assyrian- Babylonian era knew YHWH and worshipped him in ways best known to them.
Ancient people were polytheist in practice, unfortunately the deity of YHWH doesn't thrive in the midst of polytheism. Reason why He called Abraham out away from his people, Abraham seem to be the first person to understand YHWH is a jealous God who wants his worshippers to adhere to strict monotheism.
I think another mistake u making is believing the actual personal name of God is the word YHWH.
THE NAME OF GOD IS 'I AM THAT I AM' IN ANY LANGUAGE U SPEAK. THAT'S GOD' NAME. The etymology of the name is rooted in I will be what I will be, a way to let us know we can't define God with anything in existence because he's the source of all existence.
In Hebrew I AM THAT I AM is ehyeh Asher ehyeh. The shortened form is I AM and this sounds like YHWH in the Hebrew language.
If Moses was a Yoruba man, the angel of the Lord would have told him to call God Emi ni ti n je EMI ni and the whole world would have known God as EMI ni for his personal name.
All Semitic proto Canaanite language are very similar, so I AM THAT I AM would equally sound similar to YHWH.
Possibly because of the Abrahamic covenant and the link to the land of Canaan, YHWH as a deity was very much understood and worshipped in the canaanite region and then exported to other regions, this the reason name YHWH stuck with the deity.
Abraham would have called God I AM THAT I AM in whatever Mesopotamian language he speaks. Abraham definitely knew the personal name of God, he just didn't fully comprehend the meaning of that name.
I don't believe we will call God Almighty YHWH in heaven. YHWH is a derived name from the Hebrew language which is invented. We will call God I AM THAT I AM in the heavenly language or communication when we get to paradise.
There's nothing quintessential about the word YHWH. It's just a derived word for the personal name of God in Hebrew.
We as Christians shouldn't attach too much importance to it. It's the meaning of that name that matters because it tells us who God is. No deity, I repeat no deity anywhere in this world ever gave that unique meaning to his name. All deities are always described using nominal things...god of iron, God of thunder, God of moon, fire or water.
Almighty God made it clear u can't use all these things to define me because they existed through me, HE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL EXISTENCE.
atheist and academic scholars don't understand this, that's why they go gaga when they see one Canaanite idol being called yhwh
The issue is did the idol ever claimed to be the source of all things, did the idol ever claim nothing exist outside of him. That's what matters and not just the name.
My argument here is that, every nation knows and recognises that The Supreme God Rules even though they have their own lesser gods which they hold in preference while pretending like the Supreme God is not there. (Polytheism)
And every nation has a Name by which they use for recognising and identifying the Supreme God from their normal gods of preference.
My dispute here is that yhwh is said to be a Canaanite god. And we all know that The Supreme God revealed to Moses that He wanted Canaan and all their gods wiped out, so God Who Spoke to Moses and Isreal cannot be referring to Himself when He says all the gods of Canaan should be wiped out.
So, since yhwh is a Canaanite god, it cannot be the same as The Supreme God, for all these Names man uses to identify God solely depend on if He accepts them. And it is not possible that He would accept the name shared by a Canaanite god. It is just not possible.
So, thus, it is us, little men who are trying to give God a befitting Name, but yhwh is certainly not one of them any reasonable person will use to identify God since it is also the name of a Canaanite god.
Unlike the other Names clearly recorded in the bible which have no contention following them.
So, I am saying and arguing that people stretch the word "Yahweh" to The God Who Spoke to Moses but The Holiness and Purity of God burns kicks it out as an abomination and burns it.
FreeSpirited: Oga, I do not know if Yahwey was once worshipped in Canaan. My Bible dint tell me that, and as much as I am very keen on bible and religious history, I've also not stumbled on that claim. I have no idea if canaan tonce worshipped Yahwey or how they worshipped him. If you say so, well maybe historically it was so, however we should be able to piece out the truth from figments or resemblances of truth. That was why I said since I do not know, perhaps you should share the historical work, or thesis or research that points to that fact. But u never did.
I admit I dint know prior, so if u have such knowledge why not share with me and give me link so I can study it, and research about it because it's a very important and big claim since Yahweh is the God I serve and is the God that sent Christ and is the God of the universe. You told me to go Google, how? You made a claim, then provide proofs, research work, and all. I can't just go to Google over a claim I haven't seen the need to research... I might end up in wrong source. Since you know, isn't it a good start for me if you point me to a source or link? Google is like a universe , u have to know where u are going first
Now, you are saying the whole Truth as you recognise that both you and I and all of us here today were not there when all these things took place, so we all rely on testimonies and past records and any extraneous evidence that gives us information for us to deduce and obtain the Truth of a matter.
And this is where history books rule. And here, we all know that Google is merely a report of the summary compilation of the contents of records and evidence and materials contained in books.
And we all know that because of the Laws of libel and defamation and other laws, information contained in books and records are "presumed" to be True.
Thus, unless there is valid information challenging the contents of a record, such information stands as True. Exactly like the records said Isreal used to be 2 that is Isreal and Judah.
So, unfortunately, the records state that Yahweh is a Canaanite god and there is no valid evidence challenging this fact. And that is all I can say.
You can check Google and dive into all the sources Google would give you to do your thing but it may be an ad hominem as you would be attacking the messenger instead of the message which is not a valid proof of the Truth of a matter.
Which kain brain wo is this? Since when did "she was never married before and doesn’t have kids of her own mean that she was a virgin?
How come no one asked that?
"Pastor Kumuyi’s wife, Esther is a selfless and perfect partner and friend! She married Kumuyi 14 yrs ago at the age of 65. She was never married before then and doesn’t have kids of her own
FreeSpirited: The guy is already far gone. And it's sad that people like him will just waste years chasing the lies and fables of the devil, that's even if they survive it and receive mercy where divine encounters now clears their doubt, otherwise , they may be lost forever till it's too late to turn back. Imagine saying Google said... Like who makes reasonable argument from saying Google says.. lol. It's so childish and ignorant or perhaps utterly deceived like a child
Yet, you here you are completely failing to prove that Google is not correct, even when you have been asked repeatedly to do so.
Clearly you are the one speaking like a child in talking babbles. All talk, no proof, no evidence, NO THING.
SIRTee15: The mistake u making here is to think that the name YHWH should be linked only to Israel. YHWH is a well known deity amongst the Canaanite and even beyond.
First I will give u internal evidence b4 moving to external evidence to back my claim.
Abraham wasn't a Canaanite but he and his grandfather knew YHWH. Abraham ancestors were from Mesopotamian region but there's evidence they knew the deity called YHWH.
Laban the Aramean and uncle to Jacob confirmed his ancestors worshipped YHWH
Genesis 31 Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is this heap, and here is this pillar I have set up between you and me. 52 This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap and pillar to my side to harm me. 53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.”
There's also evidence within the scriptures that non Israelites actually worshipped and acknowledged YHWH as a deity independent of Israelites link with YHWH.
Jethro the Midianite was a Priest of YHWH, Balaam possibly of Aram was a well known prophet of YHWH in the Canaanite region
All these confirms that the worship of YHWH was beyond the nation of Israel. However, it's only the nation of Israel that made YHWH their national God.
It's possible other nations might have associated YHWH with false deity or idols- a practice common in ancient near East. When people interact with foreign nations, they embrace some of their practice such as given their personal gods foreign names. At one time, the Israelites started calling God by the name Baal, the name of the Canaanite deity. This practice continued until prophet Bosea warned them to desist from such practice.
There's nothing stopping the canaanites ascribing the name of God to a false god in their quest to redefine and elevate the status of their own deity- a very common practice in ancient near East.
Thanks for the in sight but I respectfully disagree.
So first, with an open mind, it is said that "YHWH" is from the Isreal language Hebrew.
And Google says that "Hebrew language originated from the Canaanite language group, a branch of the Semitic family, around the late second millennium BCE".
And Isreal was in Canaan and in disobedience to God, they frolicked with the Canaanites and served their gods.
So now, we have the yhwh looking like it belongs too much to Canaan land.
And your argument about Abraham being not a Canaanite definitely means that he spoke a different language exactly how a A Yoruba man speaks a different language from the urhobo, hence Oluwa/Olorun in yoruba is technically and linguistically not the same Oghene in urhobo.
Ehen, this case is exactly as when the Edos and Deltas most commonly and other tribes say "Sango ki... or thunder faya...", People would think that Sango too is their god cos dey say it a lot. But Sango is a Yoruba god. And not
I believe this is what happened to the word yhwh as the language of the Canaanites was taken up by the Abraham's children exactly how Nigerians living in Germany now speak German and may in some cases their native languages. Which is what must happen to Laban.
Then the remainder of your argument does not stand as no where is yhwh stated in those passages.
What those passages clearly reveal is that the peoples recognise that The Greatest and Mightiest God, Whoever He is truly Rules and that when He shows up, the world knows and bows down, even when they have their own gods.
Thus, those passages only prove what we already know to be true that in every place The All Ruling God is recognised and recognisable as shown even here where Yoruba, Edo, urhobo, ibibio all have the Name they call The All Mighty and Ruling God, even when they have lesser gods.
