BlackOnassis:
The AK is legendary but I would choose the M16 any day.

In rating AK47 and M16, AK47 still comes out better and more reliable.

http://www.military-today.com/firearms/m16_vs_ak47.htm

The M16 and AK-47 are two of the world's most iconic assault rifles. These weapons have been going up against each other for decades. So which one is better?

HISTORY

The assault rifle is essentially a hybrid of submachine gun and rifle. Assault rifles were first used in large numbers during the World War II. Before that submachine gun was a weapon of choice.
The AK-47 was developed in 1947 and was first used by Soviet forced in 1949. It is also known as 'Kalashnikov' after its designer. Since its introduction it became the standard infantry weapon in service with the Soviet armed forces. This weapon was so successful, that it displaced all other firearms except pistols, machine guns and sniper rifles.
The M16 is a more modern design. During the Vietnam War Americans faced that their M14 battle rifle could not maintain superiority over the AK-47. A replacement was needed. Subsequently a new AR-15 assault rifle, developed by Eugene Stoner was adopted in the early 1960s. It was designated the M16 and became the standard-issue infantry rifle with the US military.

CONCEPT (IDEA OF THE WEAPON)

The AK-47 is a child of the Soviet total war concept. This weapon is simple in design and technology. It is a low-tech weapon that is cheap to build in large numbers. Its production can be easily established. The AK-47 is simple to operate and to maintain. Simplicity was the key of its success. This assault rifle is perfectly suitable for poorly trained or untrained recruits.
The M16 is overall a more modern and more advanced weapon. It has superior performance to the AK-47 but works best in the hands of a well trained soldier.

CONSTRUCTION

Construction of the AK-47 and M16 reveal big differences between East and West.
The AK-47 is a very traditional weapon. It is of conventional design and uses common materials, such as steel and wood. It is made using readily available machining technology. The parts are manufactured to less precision. From an engineering standpoint it is a low-tech weapon.
At the time of its introduction the M16 was a very advanced weapon. The US Army demanded for a lightweight weapon. It forced the designer of the M16 for radical advances in weapon's construction. This assault rifle was made of lightweight materials. It used aluminum in place of steel and fiberglass in place of wood.
+ The AK-47 has and advantage of simple construction.

RANGE

The AK-47 uses 7.62 mm ammunition. This weapon is not really ment to shoot at a ranges of more than 200 meters. Its maximum effective range is 300-400 meters. Beyond that it will hardly hit anything.
Slimmer 5.56 mm bullet of the M16 weighs half as much than that of the AK-47. Also it travels faster. As a result the M16 has longer range and is more accurate. The M16 has an effective range of 400-500 meters.
+ The M16 has a decisive advantage in range.

ACCURACY

The M16 is much more accurate weapon than the AK-47. It is much smoother-operating weapon and has less recoil. The M16 is much easier to control during full-auto fire. Recoil of the M16 moves the weapon very little due to its internal design. Also its buttstock is lined up with the barrel. This feature additionally reduces the muzzle climb.
On the other hand the AK-47 is poorly balanced. Its internal mechanism that recoil are slightly of center. Furthermore internal mechanisms of the AK-47 are essentially big chunks of metal that move violently after each shot. Also this weapon has a traditional position of the buttstock. All of these features combined cause muzzle climb after each shot. It makes the AK-47 very inaccurate during full-auto fire.
+ The M16 is much more accurate both in semi-auto and full-auto modes.

PENETRATION

The AK-47 uses a 7.62 mm round with a heavier bullet. It's bullet that is slower and less accurate. But its share power is indisputable. This weapon is superior in terms of penetration and stopping power.
On the other hand the M16 uses a lighter 5.56 mm round. It has a slimmer bullet that travels faster. However punch of the M16 is not that strong.
+ The AK-47 is superior in terms of penetration.

EASE OF USE

The AK-47 assault rifle was designed to be perfectly suitable for untrained recruits. Its controls are unsophisticated and this weapon is simple to operate. Even children can easily use this weapon.
The M16 is also an easy-to use weapon. However troop training is required in order to operate and service this weapon properly.
+ The AK-47 has an advantage of being easier to use.

MAINTENANCE

Field stripping is essential if the weapon jams or gets too dirty to use.
The AK-47 can be field stripped for cleaning within seconds without using any tools. It is made of large parts that are hard to loose in trenches or at night. This weapon is simple to maintain.
On the other hand the M16 is a much more complicated weapon. It is made of smaller parts. The M16 is more prone to jamming.
+ The AK-47 is much more easy to maintain.

WEIGHT

As the US Army required a lightweight weapon, low weight of the M16 was the driving emphasis of the whole design. The M16 benefits from lightweight materials in its construction. Also it uses lighter rounds. As a result the M16 can weights around 30% less than the AK-47. It is more comfortable to carry around and the shooter can carry more of its ammunition. So lighter weapon is better, especially if you are the guy that has to carry it.
On the other hand the AK-47 uses little weight saving methods.
+ The M16 is a lighter weapon.

DURABILITY

The AK-47 is a durable weapon with robust design. It can take any abuses that soldier can throw at it. If the battle is deteriorated into hand-to-hand combat you can really smack your enemy with the AK-47s buttstock.
On the other hand a fiberglass buttstock of the M16 is not durable as wooden buttstock of the AK-47. So low overall weight of the weapon was a trade-off at this point.
+ The AK-47 is a more durable weapon.

RELIABILITY

Weapon's jamming is one of the worst things that can happen in battle.
The AK-47 has made itself a reputation for being a reliable weapon. It has a relatively simple operating system with generous clearance between its moving parts. That's bad for accuracy, but the mechanism is not that prone to jamming. The AK-47 can function with little or no maintenance. Clean or not it will fire. And this assault rifle keeps on firing, no matter how fouled, clogged or dirty it gets. Even in case of stoppage it can be easily fixed in field conditions without using any tools. The AK-47 has a malfunction rate of 1 per 1 000 rounds fired.
The M16 has a more complicated design and this weapon is more prone to jamming. In the jungles of Vietnam this weapon had a number of problems. It appeared that the first M16 assault rifles were issued to troops without cleaning kits and instructions how to look after this rifle. Also the weapon used ammunition with a different powder mixture, it was not designed for. Later many problems were fixed and reliability problems decreased greatly. The M16 has a malfunction rate of 2 per 1 000 rounds fired.
+ The AK-47 is a more reliable weapon.

ERGONOMICS

It seems that ergonomics was the last thing that bothered developer of the AK-47. This weapon is poorly balanced. Also its controls are not well thought-off and are stiff to operate. It takes more time to change the magazine on the AK-47 than on the M16.
On the other hand the M16 was designed with ergonomics in mind. All of its controls are well designed, well positioned and easily used. Also it has a built-in carrying handle. The M16 is considered one of the most ergonomic weapons in the world. In terms of ergonomics it is superior to the AK-47 in most respects.
+ The M16 is superior in terms of ergonomics.

SIGHTS

From the design of the sights it is clear that the M16 was designed to be more accurate from the very start. American assault rifle has a little 'peep' sight on the back that can be flipped for 'short' or 'long' range. The front post sight is called 'bunny ears'. Similar sights are used by Americans since the World War II.
Sights of the AK-47 are very crude. It is clearly not as good as that of the M16. It has an adjustable notch on the back that can be set to a range of up to 800 meters. However it is more of a psychological boost for untrained recruits. In reality maximum range of effective fire is limited to 300-400 meters. Beyond that it will hardly hit anything.
+ The M16 has better sights.

ACCESSORIES

Use of various accessories can improve performance of assault rifle in combat.
The AK-47 was not designed to mount any accessories, except the bayonet. Though some accessories were later developed for this weapon. The AK-47 can be fitted with a 25 mm underbarrel grenade launcher. The AK-47 has a capability to launch 22 mm rifle grenades by using adapter. However this capability is rarely used
The M16 assault rifle can be fitted with a bayonet. This weapon was designed to mount a simple clamp-type bipod. It is also compatible with a 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher. Furthermore all M16 rifles can launch 22 mm rifle grenades without the use of adapter. This assault rifle can also mount a 12 gauge shotgun under the barrel. With the advent of the Picatinny-type accessory rail the M16 has proven to be an extremely adaptable weapon.
+ The M16 has advantage in terms of accessories used.

PRODUCTION NUMBERS

Since its introduction was churned-out in millions. Soviet Union was shipping giant caches of these weapons to its allies and friendly states. Also a number of factories were established around the world to produce the AK-47, its copies or clones. So the gun has spread all over the world. It also made a significant cultural impact. Mozambique even displays this gun on its flag.
The AK-47 and its derivatives are now used by the armed forces of around 100 countries. No one knows how many of these assault rifles are in circulation, but this number might approach 75 million units.
On the other hand the M16 was more popular among countries, where the Soviet Union had less influence. United States also supplied the M16 to its allies in large numbers. Around 8 million of these assault rifles were built. This weapon was also widely cloned and copied. The M16 and its derivatives are used by more than 70 countries. Also the M16 is the most produced firearm in 5.56 mm caliber.
+ The AK-47 was produced in much larger numbers.

OVERALL

To sum it up both of these weapons have their own strengths and weaknesses. Both of these weapons continue to demonstrate their effectiveness. And both of these weapons remain in demand.
The M16 has technical superiority in 3 key areas, including range, accuracy and weight.
The AK-47 has a remarkable advantage of simple and easy to maintain construction.

krattoss:
All I see is better guns..

I wish AK47 will be banned in Nigeria..

That gun is an eye sour..

Seriously?

I encourage you to read this to help your understanding of the gun.

1. AK-47:
When it comes to the number one assault rifle, AK-47 takes over all other rifles in one aspect: reliability. A study on the rifle proved that an AK-47 can be used even after it has been driven over by tank, filled with mud and water or covered with rust. The world’s most widely used assault rifle, the AK-47s have killed more number of people than any other assault rifle that ever existed. Beside the reliability factor, another reason why AK-47 is notoriously popular is because it comes cheap and there are a lot of fakes in the illegal markets around the world.

Realhommie:
Of course I have my own Bible and i understand that passage very well..

Good to here that but you could have quoted in full not extracting just part to defend your course.

The question here is "what action would you take against an unrepentant enemy"?

Let's not try to qualify enemy. The scriptures is clear about who enemy is. Nothing like "unrepentant enemy".

If he can repent then he's no more an "enemy". He is an enemy because he isn't repenting.

So the same scriptures apply to all. Love your Enemy (the one you see as enemy).

Also remember that prayer is a weapon

I really done understand this. You will have to give me scriptures and verse that refer to prayer as a weapon.

and according to 2 cor 10:4 "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God in the pulling down of every stronghold"

2cor 10:4 was never about prayer nor about fighting you seen enemy.

All that are mentioned in that context referred to knowledge against.

- strongholds
- imagination
- high thing against the KNOWLEDGE
- thought

Not humans, not your colleague who doesn't like your face, not that man trying to jazz you

It's a stand against the gospel, the knowledge of God, the power of resurrection.

So in every spiritual warfare prayer is the weapon we use to subdue the will of the enemies, if there were no enemies, the ones of high calling, agents of satan then the bible would never have made mention of it..

You may have to do further study about who the enemy is as given in the scriptures, the one you are to stand against. Then you will realise the context of the enemy in Matt.

This will really help. Take time to go through it.

https://www.nairaland.com/3599465/enemy-praying-against-people

Besides, that verse he just used for illustration and not because he lacked understanding of the passage.

Well his or your illustrations must not contradict the stand of the scriptures, quoting out of context is a great killer of meanings and interpretation of words. It will be better to just stay with and quote all that was written than giving illustration that changes the true meaning of the context.

It's important you know
- Who is the enemy
- What the scriptures say about the enemy

A detailed explanation of WHO THE ENEMY IS has been given here. Kinda read.

Realhommie:
Lol..

Even the Jesus kinda prayer didn't come with any direction/prayer point according to my pastor last week... In Matt 5:44, Jesus asked us to love and bless and then he said "Pray for them which despitefully use you; and persecute you"... What kinda prayer na, the choice is yours... Hehehehehehehehehe.

Bro. It's quite not a good habit reading the scriptures out if context.

If he (your Pastor) didn't read in context, you have a responsibility to do so that's why you have your own Bible (well am assuming).

He quoted Matt 5:44 and left 45-48 which carries the meaning of the 44. If we continue to interpret scriptures like this we are only going to be giving room to big mess and breed unlearned Christian.

Who is the enemy?

One of the major land mines in bible teaching is how to decipher the proper interpretation of Old Testament terms in the light of the new in christ .

Jesus had to do this severally in the four gospels.
Luke 24:25-27 KJV
[25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26] Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
[27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

He had to interprete words and actions and events for and to them .The original words here means to interprete across board .

Luke 24:44-45 KJV
[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

He opened their thinking ,into properliness of bible interpretation .
The use of temple ,house of the Lord etc in the Old Testament was a building ,which was figuratively of the church today .

John 2:19,21-22 KJV
[19] Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[21] But he spake of the temple of his body.
[22] When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

His body ,the church ,the new creation is this temple
It will be crass ignorance to thus pray with David's psalm of hope

Psalm 23:6 KJV
[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

David was definetly not referring to a temple he could not and did not build .
He was looking forward to being in Christ,the new creation
We are the Temple today.

1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV
[16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Collectively .
1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV
[19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Individually .

He also spoke a psalm concerning Gods presence and praise .
Psalm 22:3 KJV
[3] But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
This isn't true today .
He now inhabits us.

Ephesians 2:22 KJV
[22] In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

The praise comes from His house .

1 Peter 2:5,9 KJV
[5] Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
[9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Virtues and Verities of deity .

That said.
The concept of enemy or enemies has also been badly interpreted by some .

Psalm 68:1 KJV
[1] Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
His enemies were seen as men .
Psalm 35:1,4-5 KJV
[1] Plead my cause , O Lord , with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
4] Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt
. [5] Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them .

Moses too
Deuteronomy 30:7 KJV
[7] And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
They were cursed .

Even the Prophets too
Micah 5:9 KJV
[9] Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
These were men without illumination .
They had little light .
John was the greatest of their breed .

Matthew 11:11,13 KJV
[11] Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
[13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
They were seeking to see and know for four thousands years .

Matthew 13:17 KJV
[17] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them ; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Such limited information and so couldn't decipher the devil .

Jesus clarified issues for us all more importantly after His resurrection ,in the epistles .
Hear him in the four gospels .

Matthew 5:43-45 KJV
[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Love your enemy !
Pray for your hater! be kind to them .
David couldn't see this ,and he hasn't / hadn't sinned treating men as such ,but it will be foolhardy for him to be leading us in his psalms .
It's like the blind leading those with sight.
Tragedy .
Jesus had to rebuke his disciples .

Luke 9:54 KJV
[54] And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Like Elisha ?
Call down fire and destroy people in your family and office .
Elisha wasn't born again and was spiritually impaired ,sight wise.

Jesus spoke in hard terms
Luke 9:55-56 KJV
[55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them . And they went to another village.

Yes,to destroy the works of the devil not men .
Sickness didn't come from a family member ,it's the devil holding two people in delusion including you if you believe such,including his agent or vessel

Acts 10:38 KJV
[38] How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

We aren't to treat men as david or any of men of old did .

Romans 12:20-21 KJV
[20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

David didn't have this ability .
It's found in eternal life ,In christ .Available only at the resurrection of christ .

Ephesians 6:12 KJV
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places .
He uses flesh and blood but we mustn't be deceived into seeing them as the enemy .
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV
[3] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
[5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

This refers to preaching the gospel .
We don't try using PR strategy ,fleshly tools.
We preach the Word.
In handling men he uses we set them free by the name of Jesus .

Acts 16:16,18 KJV
[16] And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
[18] And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

Not destroy men.
Such teachings cause divisions and strife in families and neighborhoods.
Where they choose to oppose the gospel too.

We don't seek their death .
Acts 4:29-30 KJV
[29] And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
[30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
Boldness and signs and wonders .

Romans 15:30-32 KJV
[30] Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31] That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
[32] That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

Access to preach .
2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 KJV
[1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
[2] And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

Deliverance from the evil plot
2 Timothy 4:17-18 KJV
[17] Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
[18] And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Same .
Philippians 3:18-19 KJV
[18] (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
[19] Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

False teachers ,will see judgment at the end .
Not death

We are to love men Satan uses whilst we resist him in faith .
1 Peter 5:8-9 KJV
[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
[9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Don't be found praying against some person for them to die or be harmed .
You are yielding to Satan .

Our enemies are spiritual
Ephesians 1:21-22 KJV
[21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: [
22] And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Spiritual entities .

1 Corinthians 15:25-26 KJV
[25] For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet
. [26] The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Death is spiritual .not a colleague or family member
He never put men under us,but spiritual realities ,which influence men .

We are to set such men free by the gospel,resist him ,ask to be delivered from their plots where they are obstinate .

I found out many churches don't teach the love walk hence their ignorant forays into the Old Testament to find excuses to destroy men's lives ,albeit via the devil .
Stay in the truth revealed in the epistles and walk in love towards men ,yet staying in faith ,in the spirit to put Satan and his ilk under your feet,subjection .

Romans 16:20 KJV
[20] And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Hope this is clear ?
I call you blessed
Jesus is Lord

Don't bolded by me.

Op. Its not true.

It has ceased to be "Rivers of Blood" its now "Rivers of Peace" and that is progressively being unravelled.

That's what we believe and speak.
Thats what the people stand for too.

BeastAmbition:
Wives has been in submission to their husband before christ was born. so how is wives submission related to boy jesus.

Boy jesus never preached about wives submission, it was paul that did. is boy paul now greater than boy jesus.
Really the christain folks are consfused.

Are you done?
If Yes! Thank You.
If No! Continue..

Its a forum.

Wives submit ? Culture or an in Christ reality (for The Man or husband in Christ )

We hardly know when to draw the line between culture ,tradition and the revealed scriptures .

Galatians 3:28 KJV
[28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

The key truth here is " in Christ "
Paul taught submission of wives
It's not a general instruction but for men and women with the spirit of the son
Ephesians 5:22 KJV
[22] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
To Ephesus

Also to collose
Colossians 3:18 KJV
[18] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

He so instructed Timothy too
1 Timothy 2:12 KJV
[12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Lest we forget Corinth too
1 Corinthians 11:3 KJV
[3] But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Same as peter
1 Peter 3:5 KJV
[5] For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

We can readily lift these texts to suit our culture or situate them contextually in submission to His will .
I remember haven to straighten this out for a lecturer of mine in school who wrongly adduced scriptures giving fillip to domestic abuse .
A proper reading of all the above texts will provide clarity .

As per Ephesus
Ephesians 5:23-25 KJV
[23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
[24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

The issue is Christ .
He loves,then we submit to his love .
We don't submit to be loved,
He makes us glorious ,there is more work on the Christ Like husband than the church like wife .
Jesus is the savior ,so is the husband of the marriage ,his sacrifice is his leadership ,his love ,not the ability to issue instructions .

In collose
Colossians 3:18-19 KJV
[18] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
In the Lord,be not bitter .

Nothing about issuing out orders !
Love permeates this admonition
Christ rules our hearts not decrees .
1 Timothy 2:11-12 KJV
[11] Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
[12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
He must be a teacher ,just like Christ ,she learns in silence ,his authority is used in the knowledge of Christ .

To Corinth
1 Corinthians 11:7 KJV
[7] For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
She is his glory not his slave
Christ displays the glory of the father ,the man mirrors Christ loveliness and the woman is the husbands glory
Notice it's not about issuing orders and showing your power .
1 Peter 3:5-6 KJV
[5] For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

6] Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
Sarah is in view here ,just study Genesis 12-24, you will get the drift .
For example hear this ..
Genesis 16:5-6 KJV
[5] And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.
[6] But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

And this
Genesis 21:10-12 KJV
[10] Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. [11] And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
[12] And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

You get ?
She had a very strong foot hold on issues ,as touching domestic matters not running his ministry or even business or relationship with lot .
But in her home !
So,as she submits Like Sarah ,act like a man of faith ,Abraham !

Sarah has very good faith records
Hebrews 11:11 KJV
[11] Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

It's ridiculous to use these texts to teach your culture ,bias and its likes .
If you want submission ,love and give yourself like Christ ,

In his grace ,mercy,loveliness and overwhelming glory
He doesn't demand it ,he commands it
1 John 4:19 KJV
[19] We love him, because he first loved us.

Hope this is clear enough ?
I call you blessed

judedwriter:
he was demonstrating the power of God even after sleeping with a harlot; until his grace expired with God and he ended tragicly.

Ehen hen. Grace expired?
But d writer of Hebrews (Heb 11) referred to him as a Man of Faith. A man dt pleases God (vs6). A man who obtained good report (vs2-4).
I guess thr must be more to about ds Samson than d way u portrayed above.

judedwriter:
No doubt tb joshua is a magician-but as for oyahkilome-i feel his miracles are real. But that doesn't mean he is not a backslidder-what happened to samson MAY happen to him if he is not truly repentant.

Bro. What happened to Samson nah.

North Korean president through her ambassador told Nigeria to mind her insecurity challenge facing her as a country.that a toothless bull dog can't bite
Furthermore, the president frowned at .........

More details later ..........

What will u gain from this?
Possibly nothing even if its true.

dammytosh:
Do u believe this too ?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmJFOD91QZY

Trust me, thousands who worship there also believed.

I didn't ask u for a video link. I asked a direct question from ur post and I ll appreciate if u respond to that. Its not healthy leaving ur claim to cling to another story. Kindly let me know wat miracle u have seen and believed else u ll make me feel dt ur statement wasn't true.

dammytosh:
You are advising some one to be wise meanwhile you lack wisdom.

You believe in Miracle and God yet, your first advise is that i should commit suicide.

Some one is not dead until he /she is certified dead clinically.

I believe in Miracle but not in Stage Managed Miracle.

The innocent girl might be sick and she is now fine. Not dead.

U believe in miracles? And u called ds staged managed? What kind of miracles then do u believe.
Can I know d unstage-managed miracles u have seen and believed in because u truly sounded not to ever believed one before.
