correctguy101:
Face the scriptures?
Without acknowledgement, there's no scripture, or title or anything for that matter.
You mean you don't acknowledge the scriptures i posted as scriptures?

correctguy101:
It could be scripture to you but not to others. Every religious person has their own chosen book, one they term as scripture don't you think?
But isn't this thread about my God tho? I thought this Op accuses us the Christians and our God of judging others?

Pls how many of these other religions you guys keep bringing up, talks of judgement on the last day?

I quoted scriptures here because this thread is abt the Christian God, not abt your other religions.
correctguy101:
And I wasn't aware I was facing your 'person" and not your "chosen scripture "
T:was your scripture that you quoted earlier that admonished you to condemn all who has contrary views to hell and you even said this
or wonder why you now complain that I was facing you....
Yes, you faced me, but let that lie. We and all these your other religions will not wait too long to find out who indeed is an infidel, shall we? In one hundred years from today, most of us living in this generation wld have found out if the scriptures i quoted were true or i'm just being bigotry. Don't worry sir.

As a matter of fact, Some will find out before tomorrow breaks, for some of us shall not wake from our sleep tomorrow.

correctguy101:
point is, the way you "see/view" others who are not part of your "little family of believers", is likely the way they "see/view" you too. As you "curse" others with contrary views, ain't they free to do same to you since your own view is different from theirs? Hope you understand now?
Of course i do. But you see, a Curse causeless shall not stand. If the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is wrong, let me be wrong, but if they are wrong, it's left for us to die and find out. But, i stand or sink with Jesus. When i die and discover He was not what He said He was, then, i will gladly be were He'll be. I'd rather be with Him, that without Him.

I know who i was without Him in the past, and i know who i am right now that i am with Him. I do not regret knowing Him now
So let the heathens curse me all they like.

correctguy101:
Even with same book, people of your own faith are still segregated and divided, with each little group claiming "truth" and blah blah blah.
Yes. It's understandable for the head to feel it is better than hand, and the leg to feel it's better than the buttocks, but they'll understand better when they all meet their master.

The Church is the Body of Christ, and the body is divided into soooo many parts. We are actually not divided, we just don't know it yet.

Every one of us believes God created the Universe, we all believe Abraham and his descendants are the Israelites. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, that Jesus was born of a virgin, and that He was the Son of God. We all believe He died for the Sins of Man, and on the third day He was raised back to Life. He ascended into Heaven, We are all expecting Him to come back.

Anyone who does not believe this, is a pagan, not a Christian.

correctguy101:
You see, I don't lay claim to having "the only universal truth" (for after all i have experienced, i know its all part of the game called life. Nature's humors are splendid,ly terrifying grin) but I know I have my own beliefs and surprisingly, there's no holy book whatsoever but I only "study myself and my environment" nothing more. Mastering, resonating and transcending it all is all I seek in life.
That's just me telling you and any who cares to listen my "chosen path" "wink
Yeah. But, yet again, it won't be too long before you find out.

You study yourself and your environment, interesting. Maybe you shd study how you choose your gender, race, parentage, siblings. How you choose the day and were you were born. Study what js causing you to age. Why you can't stop time, Why poeple die. Why no matter what you do, you'd soon die.

You were not consulted before you came here, or, were you?

You won't be consulted when you be taken out in death. Oh wait!!!!. You are Life itself. You gave yourself life, you can also sustain it.

I wish i knew your birth name so i'd look for you when we both die. It'll be interesting to have this discussion on the other side.

Christianity EtcRe: Pre Marital Sex Or Masturbation? by Emmanystone: 10:48am On Feb 18, 2019
paxonel:
so what is the difference between sexual immorality used in this version with fornication used in king james?
unfaithful?
This will be the last i will respond to this, so whatever you believe is right, do. When you stand before your God this scripture shall come alive.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15
And the quality of each person's work will be seen when the Day of Christ exposes it.

For on that Day fire will reveal everyone's work; the fire will test it and show its real quality. If what was built on the foundation survives the fire, the builder will receive a reward.

But if your work is burnt up, then you will lose it; but you yourself will be saved, as if you had escaped through the fire.


That said. Fornication and adultery are sexual immortalities committed by different categories of people. One inside marriage, one outside. But since you believe you can have sex with a woman you are not married to and it's not fornication, then, by all means enjoy.

paxonel:
Ok, check 1 corithnians 5:1,is the word unfaithful used in place of fornication in this version?
this version is saying terrible sexual sin.
Believe it or not. If you are not married and you have sex, you have committed fornication. If you are married and have sex with someone outside of your marriage, you've committed adultery, no more, no less.
paxonel:
What is the terrible sexual sin?
The translator didnt know. Yet when you quote 1 corithians 5:1 of that CEV, terrible sexual sin was not used in place of fornication seen in king james version
No, you are the one who doesn't know, because you don't even accept the sin of fornication as sin.

Fornication or adultery is seen by the Lord as a terrible sin becos you sin double sins when you commit them. You sin against yourself and against God. Do you even understand what that means? Do you know what the DIVINE DESIGN is? And do you know how you violate it?

paxonel:
1corithian 5:1(CEV)have heard terrible things about some of you. In fact, you are behaving worse than the Gentiles. A man is even sleeping with his own stepmother.

I think some of these translators are confused grin.
Yes, some of the translations are confused becos you are right. Hahahahahahahaha. LWkm.

paxonel:
1hey have done good job by translating the old english order of king james to what modern day people can understand, at the same time they have uttered the intended picture and understanding of original writters such as king james.

Dont depend on their translations totally, that is all i will say grin
My dear, i am an evangelical, that means, i read KJV almost only. But recently, i discovered that if i read King James alone, i will not get a deeper understand of what the Holy Spirit is saying to me, so began checking other translations to see how the interprete a verse, and i saw that i misunderstood certain verses in King James. It was there all along, but, i saw it differently.

Let's take this commonly quoted verse for example.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew:11:12

What does this verse seems to be saying? Who are the violent meant here?

Can Jesus teach us to turn the other cheek, yet tell us to take things violently by force?

Are we misunderstanding that scripture?

Now, lets look at other translations maybe we can see.

Good News Translation Matthew 11:12 From the time John preached his message until this very day the Kingdom of heaven has suffered violent attacks, and violent men try to seize it.

Matthew 11:12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize


The readeres of King Janes alone have totally misunderstood this scripture and has taught error. Christians have believed that they are the violent in that scripture and instead of leaving vengeance to the Lord as He said, has taken to fight one anothere instead of loving each other.

Bros, until i read another version, i prayed violent prayers, i believed i was right because the Bible said so, but, the violent in that scripture refers to those who want to take down the pillars of the Church. They are the ones Jesus said, will not prevail against the Church.


The uninformed so-called deliverance ministers have used this scripture wrongly and turned peaceful Christians to hateful, bitter vengeful murderers in their intentions, as opposed to what Jesus taught, all becos a scripture was misunderstood.

READ OTHER TRANSLATIONS TOO.

you said you were busy for over a week. Dont pull de i have a life crap, you chose to debate.
And again your response to the initial post still doesnt make any sense. Jesus gave no law regarding whatever happened at the time. the men only followed the law of the land that had ruled them for ages. the same law he Jesus siad he had come to fufil not to change.
I choose to debate? Well, this makes sense. You want to win so you refuse to see sense in anything i say. Sorry, i don't do that. If that's why you are doing this, then i give up, you win.

When you stand before the Lord at death, arm your with enough points to win Him.

You mean, there are people who can see beyond this physical existence?
How did they come to this ultimate conclusion that God do not exist or there are no spirit God?

How did theists come to the conclusion that a spirit God exist?
It's simple!
They saw it in their holy books and believe that he exist.

Do atheists have some kind of record or book to depend on, in order to acertain their position that there is no spirit God?
Its so frustrating that there is no such record among atheists,they depend on their instinct which is not reliable.

And you know how important a record of what has happened in the past is necessary to sustain an idea or belief.

For instance, lets look at the record christians have to show as an evidence that a spirit God exist which is the Bible.

Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago predicted in one of his parables that christianity is going to be the largest religion on earth matthew 13:31-32

Now google today
Which religion is the largest religion on earth, no doubt it is christianity.

Can a mere man make a prediction 2000 years ago and we see the prediction happening today when we google it?
It takes only a spirit God to do that!!

Therefore God exist.

Atheists, what are your proves or evidence that a spirit God do not exist?

A sincere question grin
Atheists don't believe in the spiritual.

my friend stop commiting fallacies here, focus on the issue first
is this how to explain a simple scripture? What is fornication(not adultery) doing in that scripture involving married people, Explain ?
You know what? Let's do this, lets see what other translation says about that verse maybe you'll be cleared.

New International Version
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.


But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman also commits adultery.

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Berean Study Bible
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, brings adultery upon her. And he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Berean Literal Bible
But I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

New American Standard Bible
but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Contemporary English Version
But I tell you not to divorce your wife unless she has committed some terrible sexual sin. If you divorce her, you will cause her to be unfaithful, just as any man who marries her is guilty of taking another man's wife.

Good News Translation
But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

International Standard Version
But I say to you, any man who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Oga, a married woman does not commit fornication, she commits adultery.

Again, as for the last paragraph....


Condemning all who has contrary views/opinions(could be scriptures) from your "chosen truth". You're always right and all others are wrong. Only you has the "truth " all others are "liars"

You forget one thing too many times. .. To many others, you're also an infidel, a heathen, a liar whose only reward should be hell since you too always tries to tell them something contrary to the "truth they've accepted "

Sounds familiar? "wink

Like some madman once said... - "Only the wise know they know nothing, as for the foolish, hahahaha "

Christianity EtcRe: Pre Marital Sex Or Masturbation? by Emmanystone: 3:09pm On Feb 16, 2019

ok,
Read what Jesus christ himself says

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (except it be for her sleeping with her husbands son as described in 1cor5:1), and shall marry another, committeth adultery:

Now, take note of the embolded.
A married woman commit fornication.

Explain that grin
You well?

So if she sleep with another man who is not related to her or her husband she hasn't committed adultery?

What is this?
Christianity EtcRe: Pre Marital Sex Or Masturbation? by Emmanystone:
kimco:
Took you long enough. Also, This makes no sense whatsoever. What's your point?
I happen to have a life.
And, go back and read what you responded to. I don't have time for rhetorics.


kimco:
This is true. But the focus was on the man hence my initial definition. The woman is always at fault irrespective.
To men, not to God.

kimco:
Wrong, he is only taking up a concubine which is allowed. She on the other hand is commiting fornication...Because the laws of Israel were not fair to women and children. they were as low as slaves if not lower
This is your postulation or it's according to Scriptures? So Jesus approved concubines for men and that is not a sin? I need a scripture here pls.

kimco:
There was only twice that Adultery was mentioned for men.
It should ve been mentioned how many times before it becomes a sin?
kimco:
Lusting after a married woman(because she is another's property, how sexist) and DIVORCING your wife when she hasn't commit fornication for another.
What the hell are you on abt here? A woman belongs to her husband and a man belongs tto his wife.

Divorce and fornication in one sentence? She can't be divorce except she marries first. And it's fornication if she's single. Get your mind here.
kimco:
this time the adultery charge affects the woman and her new man as well because again, she is still another's property. Pls know about the times you speak of...its not today's world, it was a heavily influenced MAN'S WORLD.
No, it wasn't, by God's standpoint which never changes. That humans decided to falsify Gods ideals didn't mean the Divine Design was altered.

No human was created to rule or subjugate another. If you understand LOVE, you'd understand it. The reason the Master came is to correct all that, and it began with the Stoning of the Adulterous woman.
Man being the Head of the woman is not for subjugation, but for hyrachy's sake.

If you argue, then you'd have to explain why the subjugation is only between a man and his wife, but not Christ to the man.

Christ is the head of the man, yet He does not control and subjugate the man, why then does the man subjugate the one put under him?

See a pattern? The devil in the details.


kimco:
Where is this in the bible? the bible was clear on this, A MAN is only cleared to divorce his wife if she commits fornication
Marriage can only be terminated on the condition that there was proven adultry by one partner.

What i say to One, I say to all Says Jesus. No exception.

quote author=kimco post=75790452]
A woman had no authority to even talk back at her husband let alone to question him on his infidelity, and even if he does, so what? he is allowed to. She had no authority to take Divorce him. No court would allow that. Hell, women were not allowed to testify in court cos they were seen as less intelligent creatures, how was she going to get a court of men to side with her when they didn't respect her? This is Israel[/quote]According to man or God? Going through the Bible, i never read or perceive women considered less. Pls direct me there.

Maybe the Bible which Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Esther, Bathsheba, Ruth, Deborah, and Mary Magdalene are in is a different one from yours.

All the great men of old were ruled a d influenced by women, yet women were inferior and considered less than human. By you i guess.

Do you know that women claim their Father's properties in Isreal?

kimco:
a patriarchal society. Before you think of the spiritual please acknowledge the physical. A woman in those times had no such power. and i heard no rebuttal from Jesus. in the harlot's case he simply implied forgiveness. he didn't condemn the status quo.
Who made the society patriarchal? God or Man? And, shouldn't it be 'Before you think of the physical, think of the spiritual? Which came first? Or, which emanated from which? You belong to this kworld, so will look only on the physical, i am spiritual, i look at the spiritual to understand the physical. (I didn't even go into what Adultery and fornication means spiritually).

The Last i checked, He created them male and female and said TO 'THEM', NOT TO HIM, 'Dominate and subdue the earth.

The Fall put the man over the woman but that was handled and restored by Jesus. He gave his life both for males and females. He gave His Holy Spirit, both to males and females and said to all of them, 'Go into the world and make dsiciples of men'.
'Occupy till i come'. When He will sit to judge us, He will nor demand the sins of women from men. Stupid.

Only Men out of their selfishness remain unrepentant to what Christ has restructured.

kimco:
closing remark: Its amazing how silly christians can be. they find convenient twists to everything which only they can see. they acknowledge the bible yet only pick and choose the new testament when it fits them.They call it the new days or watever.
Thanks for your kind words. But, you are an unbeliever, yet believe you can tell us how to live our lives. Who is more silly here? You have tried to twist the Word to make you feel justified in your sexual proclivity. It won't change the Word in the least.

And, if you are sincere with yourself, this your remark (which i find very laughable), does not include me. Becos, i didn't take sides with a particular section of the Word. I embrace all of it, because my Lord says i shd. So, you may want to redirect yojr remark to someone else.

I do not pick and choose, if i did, point me out and stop trying to muffle your voice at me.


kimco:
Very confused group of people
You really wish you have made sense here right? You can't even tell the difference between adultery and fornication, yet we are the confused ones? Hahahahahahaha.
For ya mind.
kimco:
Now we should be reading in between the lines. next time we will read on top of it. confused as hell.
Try to read first, before you can understand whar is 'inbetween the lines'.

Black Hebrew Israelites
by Ryan Turner
edited by Matt Slick


Founder: Various leaders for different sects. There is no primary leader today. First started in the United States before the Civil War.

Headquarters: Various major cities across the United States with state chapters. There does not appear to be a central headquarter of leadership for the movement.

Membership: Approximately 200,000 among the dozens of offshoot branches.

Approximately 50,000 Black Hebrews, while the number who follow some form of Judaism (broadly defined) could be up to 200,000. There is a vast amount of diversity amongst various groups who claim to be descendants of the ancient Israelites. It is difficult to distinguish between all the various offshoots and movements within the broad movement of "Black Jewish Identity." Therefore, the range of possible adherents could be between 40,000-200,000.

Origins: One sect originated before the Civil War. There was another sect founded later in 1896, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, by William Crowdy. In the 1980s other sects began to appear, such as those lead by Yahweh Ben Yahweh (1935 - 2007), or Hulon Mitchell, Jr. There are a number of other sects of this broad Hebrew Israelite movement known as the Commandment Keepers, The Law Keepers, House of Judah, and the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem, just to name a few.1

To be continued...

Total madness. Reading things like this shows that we don't take God who is Jesus seriously.

People are full of hate for each oher forgetting everything Jesus taught and stood for. It's all abt who is superior and who is not.

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Matthew:18:1

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:


Matthew 20 26-27atthew:20:26

Jesus who died for the whole world seek not to control men and be superior over them, He calls us His friends and brethren. But look ar what satan has turn us into.

No one is interested in what the Head of his Hohsehold says.

They believe in God but don't believe in Heaven or hell lolzzzzz.

I can understand that you need to hide your ignorance. Not everyone shd be a teacher of the Word.

Stop it.

paxonel:
point of correction, not just many men.a woman sleeping with her husbands close relation.
So, a woman sleeping with her HUSBAND'S close relations is fornication not adultery?
What breed of Christian are you?

paxonel:
fathers wife is a close relation. In otherwords, fornication can be committed by both married men and women. It is sex with a close relation. 1 cor 5:1.
Again, what breed of Christian are you?

Is it so difficult for you to understand that the man mentioned by Paul in 1Cor 5;1 is single? His stepmom commits adultery, while he commits fornication.

I'm not doing this for you, for your brain is backwards. Let others be corrected.

quote author=paxonel post=75526656]
in that case, you have just committed great sin against the holy spirit for not doing your personal research before quoting me[/quote]Isn't it obvious that you shd be one here needing research before talking abt stuff you have no clue about? You can't even say what fornication is. Falsifier of the gospel.

Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. can a single woman be put away by a husband?
I want straight answer yes or no

Do you see how foolish you people are? grin
What has this got to do with Pre-marital Sex of the Op?

Adultery can only be comitted by two married couples. If the married does it with a single, the married commits adultery, while the single commits formication.

STOP TALKING ABT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW.

kimco:
They didnt because their conviction was destroyed just by their hypocrisy being brought to bear in the most aggressive yet very potent way.
So, the issue is with the Jews, not Jesus who gave the law.

Adultery is a sexual immorality based on lusting or sleeping with another married woman. Now that we have that out of the way,[/quote]Or married man. It goes both ways. If a woman is married and sleeps with a man who is not her husband, she has committed adultery and vise versa.

kimco:
Now that we have that out of the way, lets address your quote. if you as much as look at a married woman lustfully, you have commit adultery. if the woman isnt married you cant commit adultery
If the man is married, but the woman is not, he is committing adultery while she is committing fornication.

kimco:
that's why it says a divorced woman (for no reason) cannot remarry because according to the law she is still married.
Let's state what the Divine Design says.

Both male and females belongs to God equally.

Both souls answers to God individually (Not the man for the woman or the woman for the man)

Everyone receives the same level of Grace and atonement for sins.

Jesus died for both male and female.

His laws are binding on both males and females.

This said. The Lord Jesus says the only reason they must be a divorce, or what can free both parties from the string or bond that ties them, is if one of them commits adultery.

So, if it's the man who commited adultery, the woman is free to divorce him and remarry if she wills. So also the man. The law is not binding only on her.

Rightly said. Repent while you still can. People drop dead like flies everyday. If your sins remain while you drop, you'll be an outcast.

Again, it's just symbolism, they don't need it to 'see road'. And I can only speak about the Catholic Church. We only use white candles.
Symbolism of what?

What attracted me is your correct illustration of why candles were used by the early brethren, 'which was to enable them see in caves', but we are out of caves, why do we still use them?

If you say it's symbolic, then, it'll mean it's a ritual with a spiritual undertone.

Why does the Church need Candles when she has the Light of the World, the light that shines brighter than the earth's sun as her bridegroom?

If it's his pic on his dp, I perfectly understand his position.

Why would I let my mind worry about his sanity?

I know he's "saner" than even my very self. But he's just an intellectual being who has chosen to be "convicted " to a book and its almost no one's biz.

I suspect you're Christian and I'll advice you ignore me and listen to him more else you'll end up an infidel(of the Christian faith) if you listen to me.


The guy's a legit Christian but only few would take him serious and become infidels as yours truly

. Of course, I'm talking about being infidels to the Christian fairh
Rest your mind sir, listening to people and becoming like them is not my area of strength. My mind is made up long ago as to who Jesus is.

And for him being a legit Christian, lol.


If Christian Science is now legit, then, he can be. But the last i checked Christian Science is a branch of Eastern Mystic. Maybe you shd follow him more closely and read what he types. Christianity has her body of teachings restricted to the Word of God. Anything outside of that, is coming from satan.

His Verbosity and long winded ramblings which he uses to quote a tone of scriptures out of context doesn't make him a Christian.

There use to be a guy here who busts him everytime he begins this his madness.

In Christianity, we don't do Astral projections. We don't reincarnate, we don't do what the Eastern mystical religions do. And this i know he does and teaches.

I am a Christian and whatever is not in the Word of God, i am admonished to curse
Not only it, but who teaches it.

I just read this thread https://www.nairaland.com/5014024/why-pray-candle and I'm in awe of Nigerians. Seems to me that we don't even understand this religion thing we're always carrying on our heads in this country. See 'Christians' castigating the doctrines of the church due to ignorance. If you do not know something, why not Google it? Or at least stfu and chill for a learned person to educate you? This attitude of "I must comment on a topic, even if I don't understand any of it" is plain sad and pathetic.

On the matter at hand. The early Christians were persecuted by the Jews, and the Roman government at some point in time. They therefore conducted services whilst hiding in dark caves, with the aid of candle light for illumination.

This practice is what today's Churches try to commemorate. It is not diabolical, it is not juju. Educate yourself. Thank you
Thanks for the info. But why do some Christians in well lit Churches who are neither in caves or holes use candles for services?

And why black and red candles?

They didnt because their conviction was destroyed just by their hypocrisy being brought to bear in the most aggressive yet very potent way.

Adultery is a sexual immorality based on lusting or sleeping with another married woman. Now that we have that out of the way, lets address your quote. if you as much as look at a married woman lustfully, you have commit adultery. if the woman isnt married you cant commit adultery.. that's why it says a divorced woman (for no reason) cannot remarry because according to the law she is still married.
you seem not have the definitions down how can you argue out your case?
Will get back to this. Busy now.

thou shall not judge that's what Jesus said if truly you know what the bible says you won't concluded in saying to me but I hand you over to God . on the judgement day we shall see. even on the day you breath your last you will know where you belong to. I teach my people the Love of God and the Fear of God . after life we shall see who is who.
The way you are evading this issue, i'm beginning to think that you are involved in this act. Pls repent.

The Message Bible. 1 Corinthians 6:16-20
There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never "become one." There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
