It is totally wrong for him to marry his wifes sister, it is an abomination. The man deserves a sound slapp to bring him back to reality. He is wicked and has betrayed his wife.

I am certain you did not read this case, all you saw was wife's sister and you lost it.

nnewa:
Hello NLanders, please help advise me on how to counsel this brother of mine who lost his wife about 2 years ago during child birth.
Now the man wants to re marry and is considering his late wife's sister. ( whether out of true desire, wish that the sister can take better care of her late sisters baby or another reason) it's worthy to note also that the lady I question is also advancing in age and likely o settle with any available man.
Please is it morally , culturally or religiously permitted to do so, he has been asking me

Death brings about a Termination of Marriage. Thus, they are no more "related" therefore being an Exception to the Law of Degrees of Affinity! And other lawful grounds

But for further Rightness sakes the permission and consent of the Principal members of her family should also be sought and obtained.

Many pray but do they pray well? To whom do they pray? And other issues.

The Mind is the seat of your thoughts, imagination, reasoning, and mediation.

The Mind is the engine room where success and great achievement are birthed.

Everything beings from the mind, Writer.

I hope that you know that what you call "mind" refers to the "soul" as proven by the word "Psychology" which is the study of the soul, for "Psyche" means "Soul"!

For him to ask, it tells you that "he does not know what he (say) do"

This might offend most people here, and I know no one can crucify me for this, so I will just go on and express my observations over the past years...which is 'the average Nigerian citizen loves bad news a lot', but why?...I don't really know.

Just wished Nigerians can tell me why or better still, just go on to express or explain why actually he or she loves bad news, Biko!

You obviously think that the Bible was joking when it says "men love bad (evil)"!

As in financially rich?

Finance/Money is Lie and The Lord does not work with Lies!

Which is why He said
"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."

It is not money that solves problems, The Lord Jesus is The True Problem Solver and The One who has it All hence He is King Provider, Jehovah Jireh!

So, The Lord can not have any need for shitty things Most Especially as He had made A Good Law on which and for which there can be an exchange of goods and services but typical of evil men, they have disobeyed The Lord, changed His Laws and created their own means of Stealing people's goods called money.

Hahaha.

When the car arrives check its transmission fluid, (Atf+4) mine was empty when it arrived thanks to lessons learnt from my Audi's Trans Axle Damage, so I checked everything checkable.

Then I read the manual and sought out the Atf+4. One Pure Guard guy I found online in Lagos had it and supplied it.

My observation is do not think a Chrysler should be driven and abused as a Toyota, (no car for that matter) and it does not like floods.

And Chrysler's appear to be generally heavier than Toyota so no racing if you like to save fuel.

Just tips observed to my fellow potential Chryslerian.

"But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up."

Actually, there are tongues of men and there are tongues of angels. So there's speaking in tongues that are other men's languages. There's speaking in tongues that is heavenly language. There's is show off that is common today, which is a bastardization of the tongues of angels.

Wow! if you are not Chinese is possible to speak Chinese in the natural sense?

In the natural sense Is it needful to speak Chinese when you have no connections with the Chinese?

How then is it reasonable to speak the language of Angels? Then, what connection do you have with an Angel that you should speak his language?

As Paul said is it reasonable to speak Chinese in Ijebu-ode, especially when you are Nigerian?

Men, when would people "Know what they do" (works)?

I did some research and was amazed with what I discovered.

I have heard from friends, family and men of God that Hellfire is an Eternal Place of Torment for the Wicked (Evil People) and the Home of the Devil and his agents. I am not alone in this, most of us here also share this belief.

However, I came across 3 scriptures that contradicts this belief and teaching:

1. Matthew 25:31-33, 46 (Read).
My Discovery - On his Judgement Throne, Jesus will separate the Sheep from the Goat. The Sheep will be rewarded with Eternal Life while the Goat will have Everlasting Punishment.
Is this Everlasting Punishment equal to Hellfire? What does Everlasting Punishment mean? The next discovery provided clues to the answer.

Is everlasting punishment not the same as the "Lake of Fire" not (hellfire)?

ogtechinc:
2. Jeremiah 7:31 says: Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart (King James Version)
My Discovery - God was angry with the Nation of Israel burning their children in the fire. He said he never commanded anyone to do so and it has never come to his heart to do so.
Really? If God has never thought of burning people (the goatlike ones) with Fire as everlasting punishment, then how is Hellfire associated with God? Will God deceive us? Never! How else could this scripture be understood? This scripture provided the key to my 3rd discovery and a better understanding to this subject.

Is "Tophet" not the activity of the people in Israel while Lake of Fire is an Action yet to be Executed by The Lord? (That is a Future Action)

Therefore, they are not related.

ogtechinc:
3. Revelation 20:12-15 (Read).
My Discovery - If Death and Hell and all those whose names are not written in the book of life are cast into the Lake of Fire, then the Lake of Fire must be symbolic. Verse 14 says, the Lake of Fire MEANS the Second Death.

Death is the direct opposite of Life. I would then say that, the Sheep will enjoy everlasting life while the Goat will be destroyed forever - Psalms 37:9-10, 34.

The floor is now open for sound scriptural deliberation. Quote or refer to the scriptures, please.

First death, is the death you die now that you live, where when you die, you will go and live inside "Death" like a Prisoner, whom shall later deliver you to The Most High and Holy Court for Final Judgement (on the day of your case) to determine whether you are Acquitted and given Eternal Sweet Living or Condemned and given Eternal Painful living in Lake of Fire which shall be another (2nd) death unto you. Simple!

XXXXTENTACION:
go and check you bible

but let me give you one
moses a dead prophet who recorded his own death.

Even the Bible clearly shows that He did not write them all and this is still not a problem.

XXXXTENTACION:
because most things taught by religion turn out to be bullshit.

Your commenting here in nairaland is also "religious"!

Also it Is wrong for you to say it is "bullshit" for you threw all the bullshits and I answered them all until you ran out of bullshits.

It is more honorable for you to say that prefer your own religion over another type of religion.

neztar:
In Genesis 1:2, we learnt about the spirit of God as he hovered over the earth while it was formless. In John 14:16-17, we learnt of how Jesus promised the holyspirit to his disciples. Now, my question is, is the spirit of God in the old testament also the holyspirit in the new testament? Righteousness2, nutella, mynd44

God is Holy therefore His Spirit Must and is Holy!

Thus, as it was in the beginning so is it now and so shall it always be.

You also seem to forget that there is the other Law which shall hold him.

Proverbs 1:24-32
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

I went to a church....

After altar call, they took us to one tiny room and prayed for minutes, then they said we should speak in tongues to affirm that we are now born again.


I opened my mouth I still spoke English, they said it is not tongue

I eventually sneaked out and left never to come back

in the Bible on the day of Pentecost, when the spirit descended, they spoke foreign language that the foreigners around can understand not the gibberish that people speak this days

And when u call their attention to it, they attack ur intelligence. They will say they are communicating with God

True!

Since the Tower of Babel till today, tongues has always meant "languages" but deceivers have continued deceiving people with "ble bleble"

coperatee01:
i really dont understand what you wrote here.Pls this is a very serious issue like i said am dying

I really wish you would believe me! Because all men are Offenders, thus men are Cursed with every bad thing that you know. This is what Solomon and David talk about in Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.

But they also show us that way of Life and Blessings and Wealth is through the Paths of Righteousness (Rightness).

Proverbs 3:33
"The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just."

Prova 2:20
"That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

coperatee01:
i know and i have done that many times but i just need a genuine man of God that can see spiritually to tell me the offence i have commited that is causing all these things am passing through

If you know you have not committed offences, then your next problem is to know that you are not supposed to do any wrong thing and learn how not to, which is what your circumstances would be an exam to Prove whether you have learnt the lessons God is teaching.

If you have not learnt then you will remain in that place.

It is exactly as you are not promoted to the next class until you Truly learn and pass the exams at that level (No Sorting or Fixing).

There is also a risk of demotion if you still do not pass on time.

pls pls pls and pls somebody should comment na am really dieing

You can cry to The Lord directly to deliver you.

Lol. The money is complete now. Oya baptize me.

Sweet! But we have to wait for the Key Car-terial for us to have a perfect the Car-tism, sorry baptism!

The Measure Life! This is where the song "Through heavens eyes" in the movie Prince of Egypt is instructive.

A single thread in a tapestry
Though its color brightly shines
Can never see its purpose
In the pattern of the grand design

And the stone that sits on the very top
Of the mountains mighty face
Does it think it's more important
Than the stones that form the base?

So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes

A lake of gold in the desert sand
Is less than a cool fresh spring
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy
Is greater than the richest king.

If a man loses everything he owns
Has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning
Of a new and brighter birth?

So how do you measure the worth of a man
In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?

The answer will come
The answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's

livingchrist:
You are perverting God's word and that is wickedness,
What you are doing is plain demonic and dark, where is written that satan is a prince of God?
Trying to twist prince of the world to prince of God is devilish and condemnable mr man.
You are simply a wicked person

Dodging reasonable questions put forward to you is a sign that you know you can not defend your position therefore, you have no roots.

And slandering me clearly shows you have no reasonable way of rebutting my assertion.

For if that is the way of offering a valid counter, therefore, where is "rapture" which ye believe in written in?

livingchrist:
you are confused, how can the kingdoms of this world turn into God's kingdom at seventh trumpet if the kingdoms of this world is already God's own.
@ bolded you see yourself, contradicting yourself at every turn.

Your second undoing is the Lords prayer

Matthew 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

If this world is already God's kingdom why did Jesus teach his disciples to prayer for God's kingdom to come?

Your third undoing,
Matthew 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
The theif on the cross told Jesus to remember him when Jesus gets to his kingdom meaning all these while Jesus was on earth he was not his kingdom.
Luke 23:42
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Luke 23:42
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Again, it is written that sinners will not inherit God's kingdom except the saints, if this world is God's kingdom it would mean God's word is null and void.

Ephesians 5:5
For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

I see you do not appreciate the import of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation as a whole in that, you do not see that God as king, has already laid down the Rules (The Commandments) Governing this company called the "world".

But that the Rulers/Kings did not apply those Rules but have formulated their own wicked laws, whilst they did what they pleased. (Parable of the faithful servant)

Thus, Revelation clearly shows that it is Guaranteed that God is going to hold those Rulers/Kings/Presidents accountable and pluck away leadership from them to vest it in Himself.

Mathew 24:45-51
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? (I sure do hope you know this refers to the rulers of this world!)

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Is the bolded not the exact messages contained in Revelation, word for word?

It is my respectful desire not to contend long on this matter for these things are self evident and they speak for themselves.

livingchrist:
You are twisting words to your own damnation.

Satan the prince of this world not God
Satan is never the prince of God.
There is nowhere satan is called a son of God,
Job said the sons of God meaning satan is not part of the sons of God mentioned.
You just mumbling nonsense

Whose "prince" is Satan, seeing as a "prince" is always the son of King?

Is there Another King aside the Most High King, God?

Or shall you dare to day that the sons of God are not "Princes" too?

All in all having this contention is not gainfull, so I will not proceed any further with this issue.

Let us walk Rightly, blamelessly being excellent at doing good and being innocent of all not-goods, wrongs, bads, wickedness or evil.

livingchrist:
I dont think you read that verse, the kingdom of this world only became God's own at the seventh trumpet meaning it was not God's kingdom prior the seventh trumpet.

Revelation 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

You misunderstand, for though this verse is in Truth, a Take over of the Affairs of this world Not Because He Lost It Or that It Was Not His Own, For A Creator Can Not Lose Ownership Of His creations Unless He Transfers Ownership, RATHER, it is the Withdrawal and Termination of the Appointment and Administration of this world previously granted to man and other powers.

But by this verse, they shall all be Sacked!

Thus, The Lord shall be taking Direct and Absolute Management, Administration and Exclusive Control of this company called earth.

livingchrist:
Satan is the prince of this world not the prince of God, secondly there is no where satan is called God's son.
'The prince of this world' simply means satan is the only one.
The definite article 'The' means he is the only prince of this world.

Thank God you have admitted that Satan is a "prince" among the other scriptures which prove the Truth of this.

However, remember a "Prince" is always the Son of a King, therefore by the combined authority of Job 1:6 and John 14:30, it is clearly seen Whose prince Satan is.

Job 1:6 clearly shows a gathering of "Princes", Sons of The Most High King, God!

livingchrist:
Read Revelations 11 vv 15

Revelations 1 to 21 already proves that the earth is God's for it clearly shows all the Actions He intends carrying out on the earth in "Administeration" of it like Buhari sending soldiers to Orlu because Imo state is within his dominion and jurisdiction.

livingchrist:
You are blind

John 14:30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

The prince/ruler of this world is the devil.

Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

The devil is called the prince of this world, A prince own a kingdom true or false?

Satan is not the only prince, (Son of a King) remember there are other Sons of God (Princes) as shown in Job!

So every prince has power over this world.

livingchrist:
The kingdoms of this world is not yet the kingdom of God.

Wrong!

When you create a thing you Always Own it. Thus, God had never lost ownership of the world for it is not seen or reported anywhere that He had Assigned or Transferred or Sold His interest in the earth to any other.

What is going on is that God is simply watching and recording what His creations are doing in His Toy we call the world!

There are always exceptions, there are certain numbers that neither of them are zeros and yet their product will still give a zero.
I mean
A * B = 0 where A and B is not equal to 0 we call such numbers *Zero Divisors* in Ring theory abstract algebra.

I'm a Naturalist and this is where if it is not naturally occurring, then I do not think it is True.

For have you ever had cause to use A x B = 0 in life?

Meanwhile pluses ,minuses, multiplication and division are natural occuring and very well utilised and it is so utilised that I observed that mathematics is about Reasonable Thinking and Connections Applicable to and for day to day living.

Thus one can see A + B = AB there is a reasonable connection here but difficulty is encountered when considering A X B= _?

Is it A X B = AB or BA or both AB and BA?

Those are the connections I can reasonably make, hence my answer will not be Zero but AB or BA or both!

But you know all which shall kill you!
