Goodlady:
...
Now to the topic: Bible didn't say polygamy is bad. Many Christians do polygamy. But if you have deep reasoning, you ll know that you can't satisfy all the wives.
Also what shall it profit you to not be buoyant and have more than one wife?
That's a crime.

If you say this then these threads prove you have never read the Bible

Now, as an atheist, I not only see no reason to believe in the existence of gods, I have sufficient knowledge to know its like believing you have a million pounds in your bank account at this very moment. But I am not that concerned, since you are not telling me to believe what you believe.

Reasoning, would have told you that you don't even need a reason to believe or not believe.

For example, like your example "I now believe that cars don't exist". Oya, prove me wrong!

Belief is free to the point that you don't even need a reason to believe exactly how Nigerians even vote politicians they don't even know

Oga wait oh. Your entire point here is that because civil servants can sue the government and you believe soldiers cannot, hence God is against the army and in support of the civil service?
It's not a very logical point.
Anyway, we had many soldiers sue the Biden administration for enforcing them to take the covid vaccine. So is the US Army acceptable to God?p

Do you forget that I am a lawyer? Surely you have never read books on soldiers suing nor watched movies showing the history of soldiers and suing eg "A few good men", Rules of Engagement, High Crimes.

And all these are just recent developments.

And Obama {gay)/Trump (abuse of rights)have already proven that they can never be chosen by God!

Again, if you decide to read your Bible, you will learn that it is Gid that makes kings.

Again if you have read the Bible you would have seen that God told the unholy people He plucked out from all the unholy nations to clean up and make holy that they should do like the people from where He plucked them from.

. Na your type go talk say washing machine is for lazy people. No be only manual na Emmanuel .
Maybe you never drive both ,if not how can anyone chose manual over Auto . Must you be suffering ?

You correct small! When washing machine first come out I no gbadun am. However, me I don play finish and now na my turn to shoit for my children back make dem go wash their clothes.

But washing machine is winning because children no dey play again and field no dey, so dem turn oyibo and dem no get "house" cloth again. So like automatic, the children no strong

But we wey use hand wash clothes for 23 yrs dash you slap, you go no say God is Real!

Anyway read my post, you would see that I said I have automatic cars. But as a traveler I must nearly "must" change to manual. And that is where I won buy the manual Prado. And after that e go be 80% must Manual for Travel. Make me and those Hiaces dey change gear dey fire engine!

free2ryhme:
Suffer no dey tire una for una lineage? In this age and time this type of thinking stems from poverty

So as Torreto and co dey drive Charger, im be poor man ehn? Shey you don see say na you dey think like poor man?

Make we talk true, difference no dey between automatic and my BMX bicycle wey I been get, even 2 yr olds dey drive am.

But when you won know say you don learn how to drive and you Sabi drive, na manual be d koko. And all small small pikin must siddon for the other chairs make dem leave Moto for driver wey Sabi!

You no dey see how all those 2020 Hiace wey GUO and co dey do fire for road? You no dey hear the sound of the engine when dem change gear overtake you like say you dey on top 80kph meanwhile you dey 120kph?

Men, forget, manual na the very driving!

tctrills:
Can a civil servant have 2 kings? Should we also assume that Christians can't work in the civil service? In fact, if we extend your argument, the only place Christians can work will be under church employment.

This is where you see the difference between A civil servant and a soldier. The president (king) and governors (the king's ministers) and cronies of the king have already shown you that the soldiers and armed men exclusively belongs to them. Hence the statement "the chief security officer". Which is why soldiers always obey the order of the king and is under a separate law (armed forces act)

But civil servants, even though they work for the king in his offices are still like regular people and these ones can challenge the king. Which is why you see that there are a lot of cases of civil servants suing and challenging their kings.

But soldiers almost cannot.

Thus a Christian knows that the first Law of God is to recognise that He Truly is the King and He is The Owner and Ruler of this world, and all others are either low lords appointed by him or bandits and coupists (like jack sparrow did to Blackbeard) who have stolen power.

Meanwhile King God either gives us work or gives us the freedom to work and earn anywhere PROVIDED that, that sich work is not in breach of his Rules and Laws.

So working, in the civil service is not exactly wrong. However, civil servants must bear in mind that civil service is a creation of the bandits and coupists as proven by the fact that if I want to tar a road, the bandits ruling will become like agberos saying "it is their land" meanwhile the land and earth and belongs to God Who gave all of us to use it and enjoy it together. And my tarring the road is for all of us to use,so how is it wrong and why do the bandit king's men (FG, SG and LG) stop me?

Clearly because they are trying to take God's Position and be like God (Idolatry) exactly the crime Sa.. told Eve that she could do.

Steep:
The Roman catholic church is right in some things and wrong in others. In other to sieve the right ones from the wrong ones all you need is the Bible.
For example the Roman catholic church is right in teaching the commandment but wrong in ommiting one of them which is the commandment against idols.
They are are right about the trinity but wrong in veneration of Mary and other saints and also some of their teachings concerning Mary.
So you are disingenuous by trying to condemn the trinity doctrine because the Roman catholic church teaches it not because the scripture itself supports the doctrine of the trinity.

This is a very precise estimation and Truth.

It is not exactly that men want to like the fair women but the fact that which paper would you natural see First between white A4 paper and brown envelope?

I know people who bragged more than him but their marriage is no more today. From his comments he didn't mingle with ladies before marriage, Na this lover boy kind of guy and he's lucky to have a good wife so far which he can't predict her character tomorrow


We know their type.
When they finally wake up in their 33+, they'll be running helter skelter looking for an innocent man for marriage without dating after spending more than a decade piping her father's mates and elders

Exactly oo.

ediko5:
😂 😂
Did you say 'agreed to marry'?
Me wey ladies dey flock around me older,younger and richer ready to embrace marriage proposal from me? Dey play

Jokes apart, you ladies especially the ones from the streets labels men with principles and defined boundaries as toxic men.

I've said this numerous times, I'm never against 'well meaning ladies' my RedPill teachings focus is to expose the manipulative strategies women uses to manipulate innocent men.

A lady will start from 18 years to run the streets dating men older than her father, married men, Yahoo boys and the likes, during this period she will refer to her male age mates as small broke boys and when she has been over-used, shattered and dumped at 33+, she'll then try to manipulate her age mate or a younger man to marry her.

A female relationship therapist once said, she hope all these girls shouting I don't need a man for marriage will keep to their promise tomorrow and will not jump from one church to another looking for husband when they are 33+.

See Truth! Preach preacher

ediko5:
I hope NL bot will allow this one to be

Why do you people say "date their father's mate" Instead of "gbenshing their father's mate"?

Dating sounds like they did not have sex whereas, they always have sex with their father's mate.

Honestly I feel sorry for the unfortunate women who agreed to marry you

Only for you to try to snatch him when you see him!

Nonexisting1:
Brother, you may be right to an extent about girls below 26yrs but being married for just 6yrs does not give you enough marital experience to brag about knowing women and marriage. Age plays little role in the maturity of women. At 22, some of them are more mature in thinking and in behavior than some in late 30s. A bad woman is a bad woman and age has little to no influence in her bad character. As soon as she becomes comfortable in the marriage and believes she has achieved all what humbled her, her true character will come back in play. A woman who is humbled by not having husband like her mates will definitely be very understanding and show serious commitment to a relationship until she is married. After wedding, she will now be humbled by childbirth. When she continues giving birth to girls, she goes into another stage of humility until she has a boy child that's when most of them start going back to default setting. There are other factors too like number of children, some of them are humbled over that as well especially when their co-wives in the family have more kids than them. Brother, you will never be certain about women, be calming down sometimes. Even men with 40yrs old marriage experience will tell you this.

Hmmm!
See knowledge. Men, it is difficult to marry.

franchasofficia:
You are completely wrong my brother.

Age comes with wisdom.

The things I desired when I was 24yrs, when I look back and remember them, I just laugh because they are ridiculous. Those are some of the things age brings....it makes you wiser, calmer, more coordinated, more calculated and more valuable in all ramifications, except some few who never grow up as they grow older; they are the few exceptions.


The best age range to marry a Nigerian lady (emphasis on Nigerian) is 28yrs - 43yrs. At this age, most of them have become more reasonable in their thinking and they have also become more realistic with life based on either their own life experiences in relationships or from watching and reading about other people's relationships. Not all of them have been exhausted like you think.

From 30yrs and above, most Nigerian ladies become more financially responsible, reasonable and valuable to their men in relationship and marriage....unlike the ones below 26yrs. There are also exception of ladies below 26yrs who are wonderful in character, wisdom and understanding, but they are not always many.....and its due to how men chase them around during those age range.


If you like go and marry a girl of 22 years, we will be here to read your marital ordeals and also offer you valuable advice.


Remember, I am talking as a happily married man of over 6 years.....so learn from me....I also have too many friends with similar experiences who also attest to the fact that older ladies are better for life commitment and marriage.

Remember, I am not encouraging boys of 25yrs to go and marry ladies of 35 or 40yrs...I am talking about the best age range to wife a Nigerian lady; 28 - 43yrs based on my own personal findings and opinion anyway

Uncle, because you are one of the lucky/blessed men who have what you would call a good wife, you are therefore speaking from the goodness of the eyes of your wife.

But you have not seen/experienced real eyeity.

The op is in the real eyeity the business so his view is the correct one

ediko5:
😂 😂 Old cargo

I'm a real OG and confirm RedPiller, woman no fit do me strong thing rather the reserve. You expected me to encourage innocent young men to marry used, re-used, over-used and discarded old cargos ?

Correct guy. The woman no know say some guys dey too sharp and dem dey dia to dey show road wey small small innocent men no suppose waka enter no matter what.

ediko5:
Growing up in my late 20s, I dated few older ladies in their 30s and I said to myself that I can marry an older lady provided she has 'good characters' like the few I came across until I grew older to understand what 'good characters' are all about.

Now whenever I see young men talk about older ladies being the best option for marriage because of 'good characters' like :

She comes to my house to cook and carryout other house chores.
She dresses modestly.
She's a very religious person.
She's very humble and obedient.
She doesn't have many men chasing her.

I just laugh 😂😂😂 very hard at 'em.

Now let you ask you brother, if you're are the one that has reached the desperate age and you are aware that menopause is drawing close, won't you be humble? Especially when you are also looking for someone for your survival, won't you be humble?

You don't know the heat you are buying into your house, by the time you marry her, that's when you'll know that the gentle stride of a lion doesn't signify his weakness rather careful calculation of steps to be taken

Hmm! See experience talking.
Very powerful exposẹ́.

Thank God I no fall for the sweetness and humility of Evelyn oo.

And I felt she was bad news but now you have confirmed the bad future I was feeling from faar. God I thank you ooo

I prefer manual. This is the real driving.

However, traffic, ah traffic kills the legs so automatic has to be the go to option.

But if I was traveling ehen that is when the manual car is very very sweet and takes over. Very rich engine notes.

"While it's true However, this doesn't necessarily mean matching every criticism with a rebuttal. Instead, we should focus on sharing the Gospel and affirming our faith in a way that's respectful and loving.

This is where I disagree for we all see that it does not take much to convince people to do an anti God thing. But when it comes to God followership, then you see people with a thousand questions both reasonable and unreasonable.

And thus, I believe it is necessary to address every reasonable issue or criticism because

This will not work to cool the interior of the car during the rainy season here, during the rainy season it is usually very humid and this system will only work when the air has very little or no humidity.

Hmm! During rainy season. Let me think and research about it

Sangoamadioha1:
My argument is that even if you think anyone is against your faith, it should not affect your faith.
You should be confident in your religion without looking for external validation. A million topics on Nairaland against your faith should not be a source of concern to you because the truth will always stand.
Christianity is not for the simple minded who can be swayed by bad mouthing on Nairaland.
You can preach all you like to people but it is their personal experience with God that will sway people not your preaching.

And my rebuttal is that we all know that words are powerful and if unchallenged can cause a change of belief of people, even if I will not change. But we know that it affects the gullible.

So, a million topics against Christianity should be met with 2 million rebuttals and a million re-affirmation.

And confidence means that we should come out always, boastful even as we stand upholding and defending our faith both in words and with our lives.

If you have nothing to quote, it's to end the debate. I don't like people saying things they can't defend.

You are the one who saying things you cannot defend. It is sufficient that I have quoted the bible verses which you or anyone can look up to verify and then you can take me up on it, if indeed you truly have something valid to say. Instead of all these clanging.

How is it possible?

Sangoamadioha1:
Is Christianity for show or what. Christianity is a personal relationship with God.
What your neighbor thinks about your religion should not bother you but how you practice your religion truthfully and sincerely. That should be your goal not trying to please people, that is called eye service.

From your above comment your own Christianity na to do eye service. Keep it up.

What else does talking and preaching mean if it is not to show others?

Why else are you saying this if you yourself are not showing something?

What my neighbour thinks remains his thinking if and only when it stays in his mind. But the second he airs it then opposing neighbours too have a right to air their own thinking in rebuttal.

For we all know why he is saying what he is saying and bad things he say must be answered lest the simple and innocent thinks it good and valid whereas it is a poison given by bad people to people like him..

And you know all these, yet you are pretending like you don't know.

Sangoamadioha1:
How would Nairaland policy affect the practice of Christianity.
Does Nairaland putting negative things about Christianity shake your faith.
Some things are not just necessary because one way or the other, it affects nothing.

This is where you show that you are a very bad person as you know that it affects Christianity because this is an act of portraying Christianity in a bad and untrue light.

So here you are Lying in proof that you are a very bad person

But what all these people had in common is the fact that all of them immediately fell on the day/time/period they went a fornicating, even if it was the first time.

Now, we have all experienced that a lot of times the first time we did a bad thing, nothing happened and we did not get punished.

I know we all noticed this phenomenon and so many of us capitalise on this grace and even burn it out by always doing those things which we already know not to do and we have been told not to do. But because we know that there is a grace of the first time, we continue.

However, this is where I see that this grace is not available for people who do fornication.

For this is where we remember the stories of people who even told us what they observed the first time they had first sex/lost their virginity. And this is where we observe most of the stories are those confessed by men.

But when Ehis got to university, things changed

Roommates laughed at the idea of purity...Soon, Ehis began following- party, drinking and womening and the whole stuff.

And we all know how it ends.

However, one fact that I see that people pretend not to see is that none of these people are ever the same again.

Where these people were sweet and clean and young and innocent before, now they look the very opposite of who they were.

Eg where before they were fresh, "fat", fine and lively but after they eat the forbidden fruit, they start looking dry and old and even ugly.

Apart from reading story like this

John was a gifted young man, passionate about music and deeply committed to serving in his church’s youth choir...

Her smile was magnetic, and her friendliness caught John off guard...blablabla

One weekend, his choir was invited to minister at a youth conference in Jos. There, he met Linda, a beautiful... blablabla

One evening, Linda invited him... blablabla

That Friday, he boarded a bus... he arrived, Linda welcomed him warmly. She had prepared his favorite food, (now you know that there are 2 foods here and one of them is not one that is cooked in pots and plates) and they spent the evening talking and laughing...
