mayor23: Ooman, pls xplain dis..a woman allighted from a car where she left her husband and 2 kids. Wen she crossed d road she saw and handed a beggar a certain amount.
Immediately she disappeared, d husband sighting wat hapend from afar, crossed d road and created a scene, some passerby startn beating d beggar. D beggar said he should be handled gently and said d woman was in front of d kidnappers that he cant do anything about it. Wen they were about taking him 2 d station, he said for she to come back, d husband must kiss him, after little commotion, he kissed d beggar and they both disappeared leaving the kids as orphans and youre saying charms and juju are not real. This happened 2 wks ago btw

Thank you my Brother, I ask him some questions but his respond was is inexplicable. The one that baffle me most he said nothing like juju because he's not an african but what about the statue that white man usually buy from black people he said unexplainable.


To ooman and his people, the formation of the universe proved by many scientist shows that our universe doesn't has origin it just popped out of nothing (prove me wrong) yet you ask how God came into an existence. If universe can come out of nothing God that created the universe can exist without being created.

These two words are homophonic in nature but the one practice most between them especially in relationship nowadays is the other one.

1. Dear: can be refers to as Loved and cherished, Greatly valued; precious, Obsolete Noble, worthy, Heartfelt, One that is greatly loved, An endearing, lovable, or kind person, With fondness; affectionately.

2. Deer: Any of various hoofed ruminant mammals of the family Cervidae, characteristically having deciduous antlers borne chiefly by the males.

Imagine a husband that has turned his wife to a punch ball is a "Deer" not "Dear" or a wife that using her mouth to turn her husband into rag is a "Deer" not "Dear".

Any form of act that did not compliment the number one above in you in your relationship is a "Deer" not "Dear".

Is your spouse a Dear or Deer? Are you a Dear or Deer to your spouse? If your answer is YES change for better and if your answer is NO please keep it up.

mazaje: The bolded are pure LIES and remain only a figment of your imagination. . .

How will you believe it. Anyway you just entered in-between. I'm not a pastor but is an authentic story.

Which one are you? If you're nonthiest read my tread this moring "Almighty God is the creator of the universe and everything no dispute" you can press follow on my profile to see it.

God will continue to bless you. One thing that baffles me most is that if anything happened scientist we have a say, unknowly for them their the one fast forwarding the endtime. God will help us!

ooman: You obviously misunderstand me. I said creation, resurrection and other miracles-that include the flood, adam and eve, Noah in fish and all others- they are all myths because they lack proofs.

Concerning God using you- we all do some extraordinary things daily. Its not Gods doing. Its our doing.

Is Jonah in fish not Noah.
Extra-waiting? Which power do I have on my own?
Is like you didn't know what I'm talking about..... A child who is almost 2years old can only craw but she has never walked that day the spirit of God moved in me and I went straight to the child I held her by hand and make her to walk (everybody was saying thank God also her mother she was very happy but I told them is God not me because I can't explain how it happened) since that day she has started walking till now. So tell me; is it my power or God? because I don't have such power.

ooman: sorry but most of what you wrote are inexplicable, but for those that are: the human body rotten because of effects of saprophytes.

For the bible stories, they truly occurred because there are many archaeological proofs. But creation, resurrection and other miracles cannot be proven, so, just like every other myths, they are just wishes and fictions.

Those inexplicable things is where the graetest widsom of God lies which makes Him superior over everybody.
Saprophytes are just organism in which they also have ENERGY yet they die. Is there any comparison between energy and LIFE?

If I may ask how do you believe universe was formed?
I created one tread this moring you can read it "Almighty God is the creator of the universe no dispute"

Thank God those stories was true, so you believe God parted RED SEA, Naoh built an ark, God created Adam & Eve Sodom & Gomarah was distroyed with fire by God e.t.c
Resurrection & miracles you mean is a formulation or what? Like I said I'm not a pastor but late last year God used me to performed a miracle. I total disagree with you on that because if I was not the one it happened to I won't have believed.

In his A Brief History of Time , he writes,"Existence [prior to the Bi.g bang] can be ignored because it would have no observational consequences. One may say that time had a beginning at the bi.g bang, in the sense that earlier times simply would not be defined...One could still imagine that God created the universe at the instant of the bi.g bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a bi.g bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. An expanding universe does not preclude a creator..." (p. 14-15) So what does it mean if the modern origin myth, unlike almost every other in the past, is not based upon the action of a Divine being? Has modern man lost all ability and desire to have faith? Must he believe things based solely upon reason, that is, what can be proved with rational thought and scientific proof? At first, it may appear so. Many people like to imagine that science and reason are incompatible with faith. In fact, many people simply like to imagine that modern man has deteriorated in his capability for irrationality and imagination. However, these modern theories, like the bi.g bang theory, are incredible works of imagination! Surely, they find their value in their correspondence to experential fact, by what science can prove, by what it can predict, but it came from one man's mind! These theories do not explain everything! In fact, some of them open up more mysteries than they solve. It is upon faith which theories like the bi.g bang rest. We have faith in the matthemtical systems which derived it; we have faith in the observations which confirmed it; we have faith in the laws of science which supported it. In the end, we have faith in ourselves, in our own capabilites of reasoning and imagining. We have faith in the human being. The bi.g bang theory, while it differs in the fact that it is a stated theory (that is, open to debate and change) rather than a myth (like ancient lores, which were accepted as truth), is very similar to ancient cosmologies of the origin of the universe. Indeed, they all appear fantastical when we reflect upon them.

Essentially, the universe was curved into itself. At such a point, the general theory of relativity breaks down, according to its own principles, and all the laws of science known to man today break down with it. Mathematicians call this type of point a singularity. The singularity at the beginning ofthe universe was in a condition for which man has no ability of prediction. Our mathematical and physical laws cease to apply, and we can neither say what will come after nor what came before.
At this point, man’s ability to describe the state of the universe is extremely limited. The laws of physics under such a condition are not known. Indeed, nothing then would be recognizable to man, or comparable to the state of the universe which heobserves today. Therefore, man cannot say why the events which happened next did so; he can only say that they happened….
For an unknown reason, the universe suddenly began to expand.
An expansion would automatically result in a decrease in temperature. Thus, the condition of the universe began to change immediately, and slowly the particles which we recognize today began to take shape and form.
10 -43 seconds after the big bang, still under very high energy, particles such as quarks, electrons, antielectrons and some possible others began to form.Their behavior of decay and collision at this time is still very much unknown, but theories such as the Grand Unification Theory attempt to describe the activity of particles at such high energy.
10 -34 seconds after the big bang, quarks and antiquarks are formed at a high rate as a result of the collisions of particles at such high energies. These particle/antiparticle pairs were produced at the same time that some were being annihilated. However, for whatever reason, they were being produced much faster or with more frequency than they were being annihilated. The universe, at this point, is now the size of an orange.
By the time 10 -10 seconds has elapsed, the antiquarks, asa result of collisions with quarks, have been completely annihilated and have disappeared. These collisions also resulted in the formation of photons. Also at this time, protons and neutrons have formed. Finally, one full second afterthe initial moment of expansion, at a temperature of approximately ten billion degrees, the universe began to take a recognizable form: there were mostly photons, electrons, and neutrinos, and their antiparitcles, along with some protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons started to bind together to form the nuclei of elements we know today as hydrogen, helium, lithium, and deuterium (heavy hydrogen).
With three minutes passed, at a dropping temperature of one billion degrees, the matter that has already formed couples together with radiation. This radiation is stilldetectable today.
Jump forward now 300,000years, and the expanding universe still does not resemble the universe in which we live. Matter and radiation begin to decouple aselectrons bind with nuclei. There is now background radiation.
Jump forward again one billion years and finally thingsbegin to take shape. Clusters of matter form quasars, protogalaxies, and stars whichburn hydrogen and helium forming heavier nuclei, and newer elements.
Finally, we stop at about 15 billion years after the big bang, possibly our present day, and what do we have? Solar systems have condensedaround stars. Atoms begin to link to form complex molecules. Some of these molecules link to form living matter.
The universe is still expanding, possibly even accelerating. The expansion ofthe universe is modeled after the expanding surface of a balloon. Galaxies, like points on the surface, would be expanding away from every other point, such that no one point is the center. (Source for previous info: Hawking, Stephen, A Brief History of Time , 1988.)
Whew…..!! The story is undoubtedly a long journey. This is the origin myth of modern man, unlike any other myth in the history of mankind. What are the implicatiosn which this theory has? What are its qualities? How is it similar toancient stories of creation, and how is it different?

CONCLUSION
As I mentioned before, the theory of the bi.g bang essentially is not dependent at all upon the existence of a supreme Deity. While it does not prove that such a Divinity does not exist, it surely makes a case for the universe in which one is not necessary. I would like to quote Stephen Hawking on the matter, a matter which he has surely considered deeply with every irreverent insight he has had over time.

Although the story is long but please try to finish it.

The Origin of the Universe
As Told by the 20th Century Peoples of North America and other industrialized lands

INTRODUCTION
The evolution of theories about the origin of the universe has surely proceeded at a rapid pace upon entering the 20th Century. New telescopic devices permitting people to see parts of the universe never before imagined, in new ways never before conceived, have advanced man's theoretical capabilites on explaining the origin of the universe, a task that has been a part of intelligent man's life for thousands of years. However, up until very recently, perhaps even this century, most of the theories of origin have been religious in nature.
When we speak of having a religious nature, we speak of faith. Religious beliefs are held upon faith; no rational explanation is required or sought after. Examples would inlcude the origin myths of the ancient Greeks, whose fiery gods battled and bore children and eventually formed the universe as we know it today, or the origin myths of the Judeo-Christian tradition, whose god spoke, and beheld a
universe before him, or even the origin stories of the Hopi Indians whose ancestors descended from a first man in a world far below the present one and who climbed up through four successive worlds
along a reed and emerged into the world we know today. As one would observe who studied the various origin myths of the world, the majority are deeply dependent upon a faith in the existence of a Divine Being, a First Creator who started it all but who cannot be seen. Such faith is not dependent upon scientific proof of such a Divine Creator. These are the stories that explain how our universe came to be, the work of Divine purpose. Zeus, god of gods, Genesis, the Old Testament, Ascension of the Hopi people.

But what about today? What about the men and women of the 20th Century, those who live in
advanced nations, whose cultural meanings are derived from rigorous scientific proof and rationality? When man can no longer have faith without reason, what is he to believe? Especially, what is he to believe about his origin, and the origin of the universe in which he lives? Can he continue to put faith
in a divinity he cannot see, in a god whose presence is not needed to explain the mechanisms and
mysteries of nature? Can he function without reasonable explanations of the world around him? I do not believe so, at least to a certain degree, and this is confirmed in 20th Century man's desperate dash to explain the world in one big swoop, with one big theory, with one unifying notion of the universe, from its largest masses to its smallest particles. And the idea of a Divine Being is nowhere to be found.
However, despite modern man's attempts to incorporate all of his knowledge under the faculty of
reason, he can never function entirely without faith, a faith in the things he can never know in his lifetime. He must always accept that his powers of reason are limited, that not everything can be explained , as close as his theories may come. Even the modern theories of the origin of the universe, the origin myths of 20th Century man, cannot explain everything in accordance with scientific proof, and therefore must rest, however, softly, upon his faith. Let us examine the modern story of the Origin of the Universe.
The story is told, by such modern-day astrophysical and mathematical prophets as Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose, and others, of a time when the universe was nothing like it is now-- galaxies had not formed, planets were not in existence, even the elements which we recognize so easily today were not even in their stages of infancy. Nothing was like it is now. The universe was unrecognizable, because essentially, it did not even exist. Let me explain how these conditions first came to appear possible in the minds of astronomers.
In 1929, Edwin Hubble made the incredible discovery that wherever one looks in the sky, one can see that distant galaxies are moving rapidly away from each other. In other words, the universe is expanding. At earlier times, it follows, all the matter in space would have been much closer together than it is now.In fact, it would have all been in the same place. But could this make sense? Since then, astronomers have hypothesized the circumstances of how the matter in the universe went from being very close together to very far apart, as it is perceived today. The predominant theory to emerge is known popularly as the Bi.g bang theory. Here is the picture of the origin of our universe that it paints…
At some point in the history of time, perhaps some ten to twenty billion years ago, all of the matter in the universe was extremely close together. In fact, it was so close together that it was all in the same place, the exact same point. This point, of infinitesimally small size, had infinite density. The curvature of space-time was infinite.

bolaino: my good man, thanks for sharing your opinion, I appreciate, I really do, BUT, when it comes to the biblical account of history, you'll discover lots of errors and deliberate misinformation, why? Cos d bible is a book written by mortal men with the intention of propagating fear and timidity, most christians seem to forget that at a pont in history when christianity had a grip over the world, and that time is refered today in our history books as the "dark ages" it beats my imagination to think that a religion that is supposed to bring light into the world, instead cast the world into darkness, we owe everything we seem to be enjoying now to science, from this nairaland to u going to church on sunday, we owe nothing to christianity, na long story, but I hope that there will come a time where free thought would be preached freely to every body in Nigeria,

Are you saying scientific theories are accurate and free of errors?
Scientist are they not humans?

I know you based most of your saying on scientist or physicist but let me ask you this and if you provide accurate answer I won't preach Christ to you again:
why other planet obey SUN?

Don't redirect me to any site or google pls.

bolaino: . The problem with creationism is in it's self, if u claim everything has a beginning and that everything was created, then something had to have created the creator, cos there's no way u'll tell me the creator had been existing without it being created, and by the way the biblical God is a God who makes mistakes (gen 6v6) and behaves like a vengeful evil spirit, sending forth mini evil spirits here and there,

I quiet knew that you formulated this story to say somthing about God again.

Nothing like freethinker I know well you are among of those following scientist & physics to use instrument to find God.

You don't believe in God but you believe in "energy which cannot be created".

I know for you to believe in God it will take God Himself to do that.

ooman: Did you read that energy cannot be created, so it doesnt need a creator. its eternal.

Energy is the simplest form of existence. I believe that such a simple form can be eternal than believing that a complex God simply popped out of nothing. If nothing comes from nothing, where did God come from?

I read it well well but it questionable too think about it then if energy is eternal why human bodies rotten? Because I know this energy present in us.

ooman: sorry but the above is inexplicable. I can't make anything out of it!

Good of you because even scientist and physics can not prove it. Then ask yourself where centrifugal and centripetal force came from or do they really exist as the way they described them?

So far is inexplicable you should know that there is higher force that beyond any proved forces.

ooman: Like am not African too. Look guy, free yourself from fears. There is nothing like charms and juju. Its just us.

Thank God yuo're not african, but the statue that white man usually buy from africans is for what?

ooman: well i can ask you the same thing. Have you written your own Bible? Have you seen God with your own eyes? Have you seen Jesus? Have you ever been to heaven?

I will answer yours even though you didn't answer mine.

I havn't wrote any and I will never write one it's God's word my own is to meditate in day and night.

I havn't but I usually feel Him within me everyday because of my sinful nature but with 100% assurance that I will see Him in heaven but you won't see and feel ENERGY after your death.

I will be there when I die.

ooman: What experiment did you perform to make you think there is a God?

Good but not experiment because that one can't find God. God is a spirit and if you want to see Him you need to engage yourself in some spiritual activities. I prayed and something supernatural happened.

ooman: Actually, most things predicted by Nostradamus and other pagans are also happening. So pls, drop your predictive prophecies and get a personal life. God worshiping is a waste of time.

It is true but you understand the one I'm talking about.

Let me ask you this please if you cannot provide the answer it is better you find a true church not just church (I mean the one that spoil christians name) to ask for forgiveness and begin to serve God.

All the stories in the Bible do they really happen or is just a fallacy?

Tell me the truth.

LADY OF RAGE: Welcome to Lagos! Since igbos fled to Cameroon for safety, yorubas will flee to Benin republic.

Your thought shall not stand. WE Yorubas say no to any Boko Spirit. Yorubaland is a free & peaciful land

@op, how true is it because I'm a Lagosian and I never hear anything like that.

[quote author=m.k.o2005]If Christianity is a scam,what do i have to loose ?
If nothing at the end of life then i will go to where other atheists or freethinkers go to !
But if Christianity is for real,God is real and there is heaven and hell,will atheist Join me in heaven ?
Ask urself that and answer for urself !
God help us all[/quote]They can never answer this question beside I often wondered where atomic particles came from to formed all the planets and the sun, and the temperature that exist during the formation. Physicist cannot prove beyond all these.

ooman: Man's goodness is enough

Alright

ooman: I never claimed nature evolved out of nothing. I never claimed evolution is a product of chances and guesses. Only fools claim such. Particle physics revealed energy is contained in baryons. Energy cannot be created. Adaption and natural selection controls nature, chance is out of question.

But you believe the universe was not created by God. If God didn't create the universe then who created it? Since you claim nothing about evolution. The major problem you atheist have is that you keep on hammering "ENERGY cannot be created" yet you don't believe God exist. How then ENERGY came into an existence?

ooman: am not sure i get that. But if its what am thinking, centripetal and centrifugal holds planets in place. THERE IS NO GRAVITY IN SPACE. ANYTHING THAT GOES UP GOES UP IN SPACE.

Thank you, so the centrifugal and centripetal forces that occured in the space that makes planets obey the sun (I use obey because they perform their duty by not leaving their orbit). Why not Earth, Jupiter or Pluto that other planet revolute? because you believe in forces, why the same force didn't make them revolute themselves or was it the sun that is producing these forces?

ooman: Sub-atomic particle are made of charges of energy. Energy cannot be created

You've not answered my question. The atom or atomic particles you're talking about where do they come from?

ooman: Nah!! charms dont work, i have experimented on them. Dont tell me they do unless you can insert your hand into your computer and shake me from your location, then i will believe.

I'm not an herbalist but I leave in village before my brother charm is real and God is real.

ooman: Sorry but it is not "terminology" or intelligence that makes people atheists. Some are just too dumb to comprehend God himself. Anyway, more people are getting educated so dont hope on people being illiterates forever.

Any time topic like this came up I usually ask you, how many experiment/research have you carried out on your own to disprove God existence, have you travelled to the moon, have you been at the depth of an ocean? I believe all your quote are people's work which you never knew the secret that behind it.

Truly some people wrote Bible but I went on to do more findings and I discover there was God. I'm not a pastor, I was born into christian home but I did personal research.
If I begin to tell you, you won't believe me but miracles happen and real.

ooman: I was once like you too!

If it's true then I advise you carry out a personal findings before it will be too late. Remember, most things Bible prophesied are happening now!

@op you are very funny. If you see the way I'm laughing here no be small thing. So you believe in Love and you don't believe in God. Who is God and what is Love? I just they pity the girl because there is no how she won't regret it unless you change total and submit yourself to God.

I know all your mind is that there is no GOD not the Bible, although Bible/Quran is the fundamental book of believing in God. If I may ask you:
>If there is no God, what do you think it will happen to the people living on earth in terms of violent and distructions?
>If nature form out of nothing, who is controlling the law of the universe? Because you can't tell me something happened by chance and be perfect.
>Why planets obey the SUN?
>The particles that formed STARS and PLANETS where did they come from?
>Do you believe in charm?

I thank God all this terminology you people are using few Nigerian christians understand it, and I pray those who understand will not turn back.

I was once like you but God is real.

Definately all the Northerland leaders know something about Boko Haram. Anyway I don't have a say since Nigeria don't have leader.

I saw one today that resemble somebody I know and it's even a female type. Guess what she resemble my ex.

CrazyMan: Call centers are very rare here in the east...infact I can't remember when last I saw one.

What exist here are just recharge card dealers, sim card sellers...etc. But you would hardly find someone here that's into phone call business.

So its almost impossible to patronize them.

My Broda, I was so surprised when I saw it. I know recharge card dealers are very common.

I saw a small banner where they wrote "GSM call is #20/min". I ask myself do people still visit this place?
When last did you make call from business centre? As for me I can't even remember.

1 I’d rather settle for him/her than be alone.
What’s wrong with being single? You’re not alone ( Hebrews 13:5). If you are settling for an unhealthy relationship just to have a warm body near, you are missing the amazing indescribable intimacy God offers you; He will continue to politely step aside as you choose to accept less.

2. I love him/her.
"It's a true saying that the person will love may not love us in return". But at least they should have above 80%. There is a difference in loving and being “in love” and fully committed to the person you KNOW you were meant to marry...for better for worse.

3. We've had s.ex.
My biggest fear was that I had to stay with him/her simply because we had s.ex. Is this how you feel? Well, it reminded me that sex outside marriage is a sin. Because you have already begun is really not an excuse to continue, STOP it now and continue your life.

4. I’m waiting until Mr/Miss. Right comes along.
I will continue to manage him/her till I will meet the right person then what will happen if unexpected thing happened? Let’s get serious! If Mr/Miss. Right crosses your path, he’ll consider your low standards unattractive and beauty. Your present relationship portrays evidence of the needy, insecure person you are choosing to be.

5. We’re engaged, already committed.
Have you agreed to marry him/her, but now you’re having doubts? If there is doubt, DON’T! Use the valuable opportunity you have now for a “time-out” to reevaluate or choose to live the rest of your life with regret! “But,” you say, “I’ve already started planning a wedding, and I’m looking forward to a honeymoon.” Get your eyes off worldly things and ask God to open your spiritual eyes.

6. I don’t want to hurt his feelings.
Has your heart left the picture, but you're still hanging around because you’d like him/her to stay happy? Maybe you feel bad leaving him/her because he/she has spent so much time and money on you. You’re not stock; this isn’t an investment game. Have you tried to walk away, but his craftiness persuaded you to stay? You’re not a puppet; pull your hearts strings from his grip.

7. He’ll change for the better!
Naturally, we think we can turn a frog or even a snake into a prince with a kiss! But, sometimes a snake is just a snake and we wind up bit.

8. Real Husband/Wife are scarce.
Actually it's true but always have the believe and faith, that your own husband/wife will surely come.

They say "fear is our number one greatest enemy, it crippled our faith and freezed our creativity".

Truth be told, you need to run the other direction. Bad relationships are poisonous.
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13

ARE YOU TEACHABLE?

"My ideas are mostly the ideas of other people who didn't develop themselve". Edison (elecric bulb inventor). You must stayed open, hungry for knowledge and teachable, and to succeed, ask yourself; whether you're teachable.

>Am I open to other people's thought and ideas?
>Am I willing to change my opinion based on new information?
>Do I listen more than I talk?
>Do I readily admit when I'm wrong?
>Do I think and observe before acting on a situation?
>Do I ask questions always
>Am I willing to ask a question that will expose my ignorance?
>Am I open to do things in a way I haven't done them before?
>Am I willing to ask for directions?
>Do I act defensively when critised or do I listen openly for the turth?
>Do I carried out self examination everyday?

During AIT 8 O'clock NEWS yesterday night one of the headline was "Women seek for Divorce law review".

According to the report "divorce law was established in 1970 to safe guard women's right in their matrimonial home".

For me I support the review and more punishment because the rate marriage are broken nowaday's is too high.

www.aitnews/women-seek-for-divorce-law-review.com

Before I open this topic I already knew it didn't happened in Nigeria because all niegria ancestor's are regreting wherever they are now.

All these saying are they true about Lagos?

>If you're selling sh.ii.t in lagos somebody will buy it.
>Lagos accomodate both lazy and thief. Is it only Lagos?
>People in Lagos they don't usually sleep. I dey sleep like tomorrow no go come
>Some people are living in Ogun state yet they tell people they are living Lagos.
>If you enter Lagos and you have never been to Mushin, you never know Lagos. Na so Mushin fine reach?
>There are three men statue at the entrance of Lagos that says Ogbo do rindin(don't act like an slowpoke); Ogbodo ya mugun(don't be a fool); Ogbodo suegbe(don't slow walk at all).
>You may not get to where you're going because "of conductor" the way they call bust-stop.
>Molue don't wait for person, you have to run.
>Bridges in Lagos are many you can't finish counting them.
>Beach usually pursue people.
>Eko akete "Ilu ogbon", (Lagos where wisdom dwell)
>It will almost take you a day to move from Abado-Ijaye to Epe.

1. Courtship is not about playing, doubt, or uncertainty. In this stage, you are about getting married. Only enter courtship when you are ready to marry.

2. A courtship doesn’t have to develop into marriage because a couple can decide theyare not for each other and simply remain friends, which is perfectly OK.

3. In courtship, you are both praying together and seeking God to lead the relationship in the right direction.

4. Courtship will not happen many times in your life, assuming you are approaching relationships from a healthy perspective. Remember, courtship is where you are exploring a deeper relationship with marriage being the goal. So, you will not be doing this often if you are approaching the dating stage with healthy boundaries.

5. Dating is a temporary place and should be a safe place for getting to know someone. Courting is for a loving and secure relationship.

6. Courtship is not for the spiritually and emotionally immature.

7. Sex is not for courtship. Sex should be a gift of marriage.

8. Courtship is for positive intentions.

9. Courtship is done with the goal of having a future spouse.

10. You should not enter into a courtship until you can be happy alone and not attempting to heal emotional wounds through a relationship.

11. Courtship is a selfless relationship. If youare a selfish person, you should not even have a serious relationship until you are mature enough to share life with someone without seeking to gain something for yourself.

12. Selfishness should not drive a marriage,nor should it be the driver of your courtship. (Philippians 2:3)

13. For the men who are reading this, your focus should be on becoming an Ephesians man. (Ephesians 5:25)

14. You should treat the man or woman you are in a courtship with as your brother or sister. (1 Timothy 5:1-2)

15. If you can’t see yourself marrying the person you are dating, delay the courtship. Only enter into courtship with someone youwould consider marrying.

16. Courtship is when you should meet and spend time with each other’s family.

17. Courtship requires the couple to be honest and transparent so both can make achoice about life together.

18. A successful courtship requires love, prayer, patience, and oneness.

19. You should avoid hiding your feelings during courtship.

20. The habits you form during your courtship will bleed over into your marriage.

21. A healthy courtship should bring the best out of you.

22. A healthy courtship has strong communication.

23. Courtship is where you can become best friends. We all know the best relationships or marriages happen when couples are best friends.

24. Pray for discernment concerning your courtship and the potential for marriage.

25. When in courtship take time to discern God’s will. No rushing…..

26. Courtship will help a couple determine if they should get married.

27. Only enter courtship with someone youwould consider marrying.

I believe in one way or the other we have different Bible whichin some are new while some have stayed long (Old Bible).

In my own case we have many old Bible at home which I may not even touch for almost a year just because I have bought new one.

Now my question is:
Is it good to burn or dispose old Bible?
