Why don't you caution him then. You know people are naturally compationate, they will help a fellow human in most cases. No Christian should beg since your god provides everything. He is not one of you? Who does he belong to, the devil?

My dear, check your posts well. You accused OP of fraud.
If OP is a fraud, he cant be a Xtian. He is not of God nd who he belongs to is left for him.
However, xtians dont worship god but God!
All Im saying is dont join OP with the Xtian God if you know OP is a fraud! I shouldnt caution him cos I dont know him. You know him cos you have helped him twice, you caution and I support.
Regardless of opposing views on other issues, if OP is a fraud, Ill support we shut him up..He shouldnt come here to defraud people as other sincere people might need this platform later to get help.
Once again Xtians aint beggars, our sufficiency is of God!

You are on point! Some people are entering into marriage to cover up their lust! But it is still there.

Thanks bro..You got the point!

just as reason is parallel to religious faith.

Reason could either be evil or good!
If parallel to religion, your guess is as good as mine!!
The reasoning is evil!!!
However, I dont celebrate religion, I celebrate Faith in Jesus and I preach it to the glory of God!!!!
I have become the headache of the devil n his cohorts.

Scam.

I have sent money to you twice I think, but you are a fraud. You should prays to your god,why bother humans. After all he never fails. What you are doing is not right, very dishonest. You keep using different accounts, why?

If OP is a fraud, he is not one of us.
Everyone claims he is of God but 'by their fruits we know them'
By his fruits, he isnt one of us..Xtians are not beggars for 'our sufficiency is of God'...
A Xtian is one that has repented, confessed his sins and accepted Jesus as Lord and Personal Saviour and for his needs he believes 'God is a rewarder of them that deligently seek him'
Once again OP isnt one of us! We are the sheep of his pasture!! He feeds us!!! As a family, we feed ourselves too as he provides for the more abundant!

Did you hear the scriptures, regardless of wealth, position, business acumen, ability to talk boldly, intelligence, it says 'only a fool says there is no God' and God is too big to answer any man that questions His greatness, power, wisdom...He is indeed God and wont answer any man in/according to his folly.
'he that hath an ear, let him ear'

Jesus loves everyone; please give him a thought!
You will surely not deny at Judgment seat that you were not told...Please I beg of you all 'give God place in your heart'

I've been studying kids these days, i wanted to know if really they believe in some sort of supernatural powers or something, then i remember as a kid, i often get scared whenever its dark— it's always like some forces are coming to carry me away, and so because of that, i remember I'm always holding on tightly to my dad whenever its dark,and in Most cases whenever there's no light, what could have warranted this fear? i don't know.

there's this niece or mine that's quite stubborn. she will be 2 by July , although she's not a coward like me as a kid, she doesn't get scared whenever its dark, but she did something that made me conclude that kids believe in some sort of higher forces in our world.

Last week, i was studying in my room, her mum was in her room sleeping, and while she was playing, she just went to the backyard, i could see her from my window, i notice she was going to play with water and so i shouted her name to desist from going there, she couldn't see me, but she knows i was the one — being a stubborn girl, instead of her to go back, she just smiled to my calling and went ahead to play with the water. I shouted at her again, this time, she was just laughing at me. Then i decided to be murmuring like a ghost, this time, she got terrified, she was so scared that she started running back inside. She started crying loudly at the same time and woke her sleeping mum. The mum asked who beat her, she couldn't talk, all she did was hug her.

This got me thinking, this is a girl that can barely talk nor understand clearly what you are saying talkless understand the Idea of a God or satan or any supernatural forces we believe in.

For the record, kids believe the idea of a supreme God and that automatically makes the claim of us being born atheists a wrong notion.

I so love this list!
But don't forgot Ruth and Mary....

I guess OP would do part 2 to that topic.
God is raising a fiery generation of women full of the Spirit!
Women that would raise godly seeds, raise children that will turn the world upside down for God, that would convert their husbands to Christ, set our churches ablaze in revival for God.
It will surely happen soon!

I leave you to your illusionary crusade.
To succeed, you will have to whirlwind into the age of inquisition.
Your anachronistic approach will greatly be embraced there.

You have got no choice. No one fights right and wins! However, to the myopic, this is illusionary! A Xtian mind resonates at my frequency and you dont have one!!! Dont forget basic geometry 'parallel lines dont meet' We are far apart!!!!!

Malachi 2:15-16 '......,he hateth putting away....'
Matthew 19: 6 'wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh, what therefore God has joined, let not man put asunder'
Divorce and Separation isnt an option for any Christian, let us pray more that God will keep our marriages and homes!
I must seriously confess that there are cases where it seems there is no other choice: Can we endure a little longer, pray a bit more, take shits and pain, go for counselling before we make that decision God isnt happy about? What about the children? To him that overcometh 'he will give a crown of life'
I cast out every demon destroying our marriages and homes in Jesus Name! May we begin to enjoy our spouses, marriages and homes! Amen!!

With increase in rape, pornography, teen sex, pre marital sex, prostitution, drunkeness, drugs, how can parents step up parental training for positive results?
Does provision of only money suffice in child training?
What do Fathers and Mothers need to do to help their children on destiny path?
Opinions will be appreciated.

For your information, statistics shows a significant decrease, (when 21st century was compared to prior centuries) in most of the criminal acts that you listed above, in this age.


And one major variable that has brought about decrease in most savagery acts, is the increasing secularity (breakaway from religious control) of human society.

Do you by chance know how many years there is in a century? If your statistics captures info by centuries, pls ild disregard it! I make comparisons in the last decade years. Im on mission for a glorious furture so I cant be im shadows of the past! We are not where we need to be and there is need for all to control emotions and appetites..Why is there rape, fraud, child molestation, increase in teen sex and abortions? Everyone knows majorly sexual perversion is on a GP rise...Lust is the cause and we must fight it!
This age is too advanced! Let us all look forward!!!

As Christian women we must pray for the spirit of wisdom and patience when the men in our lives. But as you said what if one get married wants you to go contrary to God's words hmmmmm, that's where the story of Abigail come in in 1st Sam 25

Abigail got married a rich, stingy, drunkard and wicked man then there was a day his stingyness and wickedness nearly bought death upon all his household. Thank God for Abigail who applied wisdom and the sweet mouth God has given to him to advert the death.

So be submissive but if it's contrary to God's word pray for wisdom

Thanks. This is the second thoughtful contribution.
1. Prayer 2. Wisdom.
And 'wisdom is profitable to direct' nd 'he that lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth liberally'
May the Spirit of Prayer and Wisdom fall on all our women now!!! No more divorce!!! We say no to it henceforth! I pray down the Spirit of Understanding upon our couples now. Amen.

MZLady39:
I, honestly, don't know how the men and women involved in it, do it?
I see no happiness but rather jealousy, competition, strife, diseases, emotional problems for the children....etc.

Very correct my dear!
How about parental training? How easy is it going to be? Most fruits of polygamy are actually raised by the women! The men rarely take serious responsibilities for training save to give money, if the man is rich...If not rich, the woman takes care of all!
The women have been the object of this ridicule called Polygamy! God detests it! The Bible says 'for the sake of fornication, let every man have his wife, not wives - just one'. Gods plan is always perfect, this way you can manage your home properly, train your children, love your wife and build a home that glorofies God.
We need mothers like suzzana wesley who raised 9 pastors out of 12 children, what dedication to parental training!
Let all parents seek not to have children but to train and build them up in the ways of God and become useful to the society.
May God stir our hearts all to fulfill all His Will in all things! Amen!!!

solbil:
so its no longer "insatiable desire for sex", but now "insatiable desire for multiple wives". Good you learnt something from the education i provided in the other thread. That means my effort wasn't a waste.

I am not a professional debater. I have been warned several times by those who know me not to engage in fruitless arguement. But i encourage you to seek your own truth; "seek and you shall find; knock and the door will be opened". Enjoy your sincere quest for knowledge and wisdom. I drop my pen here.

So why would a polygamist marry many wives if not to gratify his flesh and fulfil his sexual desires?
Insatiable desire for sex is why the drive to multiply women in the guise of marriage is rampant...Its a lowly thinking for any man to think many wives will satisfy his inordinate desire for sex, with multiply wives, they still chase girlfriends and concubines.
If the men wont stop, the women would!
Women would not allow themselves to be used like that anymore! One man:One woman is fair.
As for the fruits of polygamy, Gods mercy covers them and we beg in Gods name that they make not the mistake their Fathers made as Isaac did. Though Abraham at a time had few wives, he repented nd restituted, then commanded his servant to get a wife for Isaac so Isaac had one wife throughout his life.
My brother, any man in polygamy is in sin and needs to repent and restitute asap!
'He that hath an hear, let him hear'

Can we get diverse opinions pls? Marriages are breaking up as more husbands accuse their wives of rebellion?
Submission is therefore a focal point!

What other measures can a woman take in correcting an erring spouse while still in submission?

OP wetin concern you?

You are a Muslim. Sorry the thread is for Christians!

solbil:
all lies and deliberate manipulation of scripture to fulfil your own end.

Care to show me where God COMMANDED the kings not to marry many wives? I am really looking forward to it.

And when Jacob's second wife died, did he also put aside his concubines too, the ones with whom we had some of his children?

My dear, stop telling lies about the bible as if we can't go into the bible and confirm that you are lying! God did not reject Saul because he too many wives, but because he disobeyed God due to his greed, and he thought he could also bribe God and so God told him through Samuel that "Obedience is better than sacrifice". You don't talk like it is only you that have access to the bible.

David did not pay for marrying many wives, for polygamy NOT A SIN AGAINST GOD, stop the lies already! Yes, his wife was raped in public, not because he married many, but because God pronounced judgement on him when he TOOK ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE, AND NOT JUST THAT, HE HAD THE MAN PUT TO DEATH, A HUMBLE AND LOYAL MAN. stop the lies already! And yes, even in his old age, David still had sex with another concubine confirming that he is what you would call today a pedophile. Yes, you heard me right. When he was old and weak, his people told him: "why don't we bring a young girl (13 years old) so she could keep you warm?" i am going to give the quotation here later.

As for Solomon, he also didn't get punished because he many many wives. He got punished because he took wives from other nation who would eventually drag him to other gods, a thing detested by God. If he had stuck to the women of israel, he probably wouldn't have been punished.

The bible never said so much about the pesonal lives of the apostles, so there is no way for you to know that. Polygamy was not an issue all through the bible.

And when Paul talked to Timothy, polygamy was not the issue, for duty was! And paul was concerned about dedication that's why he did not encourage the men with large homes to take to church office.

Now you tell me: do you think that the kind of person Paul was, especially someone passionate about the Gospel, would see an i don't care attitude from monogamous families to ards the things of God, and if there is a polygamous family showing high level of dedication, he is not going to give them even the office of a bishop?

And no, Polygamy is not an insatiable quest for sex, sex and sex alone, for Abraham did not take another lady because he had an insatiable desire for sex. Jacob did not take another wife because he had an insatiable desire for sex. And even after marrying two wives, he still did not take the concubines offered him by his wives because he wanted sex. So stop with all the lies trying to paint Polygamy in a bad light. You should know you are hurting real people, and you are puting your man-made laws above love itself. Jesus spoke to the jews when they came up to him and questioned him why he must heal someone on a sabbath. (the law was: don't work on a sabbath). To show to you that these people valued law more than the essence of the law itself, sabbath, Jesus asked them that which one of them would his child fall into the well on a sabbath, and he won't go into it to bring out the child?

My dear, stop placing your man made laws, which have no significance in the realm of the spirit, above the core of the christianity, faith, hope and LOVE!

Gen 23:1-2 ; Sarah died
Gen 25 ; Abraham married another wife, Keturah
Gen 25:5-6 ; Abraham recognizes Isaac as his only son and sends all sons from concubines away with just gifts.
Gen 24:4 ; Abraham sends to his place to get 'Isaac' a wife, not wives...Isaac had only one wife
Deut 17:17-19 ; God commanded Kings in Israel not to marry many wives; and commanded also that this should made into Law by the 1st King by writing it in a book. Solomon failed woefully as King.
II Sam 20:3 ; David parts with all concubines
All Kings in Israel including David erred in this but thank God David restituted as shown in II Sam 20:3
Just to add to scriptures, there are several animals that practice monogamy termites, foxes, wolves, almost all the birds are monogamous.
An animal shouldn't do better that human! Monogamy is Gods instituted pattern for marriage.
Gods longsuffering shouldnt be taken for timidity, slackness...He wants everyone to repent.

@enshy ok, i take that back when i said he had sex with a 13 year old girl. I just confirmed in 1kings 1:1. But the other things i have said, stand. You are free to correct where you can prove is wrong.

You seem to have an humble part to your agression...I sincerely appreciate..Now henceforth, lets go through this with ease, unbias, understanding and respect!
I pray Ild be able to walk into the Light nd Truth of God.

so, in your mind, you can't control your appetite.

And you will need to pray to be able to do that?

I doubt if you are in town. Are you not aware of increasing cases of obesity, rape, porn, children birth in poor homes, incests, murders, hate, fights, drunkeness all over the world? Aint these pointers to the fact that people are ruled by desires n appetites?
Pls consult google on your device to be better informed as this thread isnt for that.
If you refuse to be biased, its clear enough, you will my motives nd intentions.
Thanks.

Feel free to share your challenges!
A problem shared is half solved...Why worry when you have someone who seeks to help bear your burdens and walk you out of it?

Let all sincere xtians be bold to preach it so that our ignorant brothers/sisters will no more be led astray!
Polygamy isnt Gods Will, run away from it, it will leave a bitter taste!
However, if you are already in it, repent and turn to God, restitute and stick only to the 'wife of your youth, let her breast satisfy you'...Let the strange women leave, if they had children for you, provide them accommodation and take responsibilities for all your children.
God blesses the repentant heart!
All single ladies, dont be caught in the web! Polygamy is unpopular and God detests it!

Good thread! God bless you for upholding the truth! You will surely reap at eternity!!!

alBHAGDADI:
Did you read the above comment? It was made to ridicule God. This is the mindset many atheists have. They are always quick to blame him for starvation and other problems that we humans can and ought to solve by ourselves.

Before you as an atheist blame God for starving children, think about the following.

Is it right to host an immoral show called Big Brother Naija, where the winner carts home millions while we have starving kids in IDP camps who could have been fed with that amount?

Does it make sense to sign a single footballer for millions of dollars when that money is enough to provide water in Sudan?

Why have more than 2 flashy cars when tonnes of people are homeless?

Why spend thousands on prostitutes when we have beggars out there?

When will you complain concerning the issue of Telecoms companies endorsing musicians with undeserved millions when we have people in hospitals who cant afford to pay for an operation?



Till we start doing these and more, we as humans, including atheists, have no right to speak against God. If he provides for these people, like he always does, our silly actions will still render them poor again just as it did.

You are one of the wisest men Ive seen around!
Flesh and Blood has not revealed this to you, its by the Spirit of God.
How much billions of dollars are wasted on folly?
God cannot be challenged! Let all spue gibberish!
When the time comes, all will be silent before Him and dumb before His only son at judgement, Im so waiting to see that day when enemies of gospel will seek repentance and not find it.
Before then, let us all persist in warning and educating all the best way we can, Im sure some will be saved!
Whoever you think you are or what you have achieved; God made you and left you to your choices! He didnt make robots, he made humans....
If you check the end of life of the enemies of the gospel, you will cry for them! Let them keep blabbing while we keep warning, educating, preaching, teaching nd praying.
I so much enjoy this folly called Christianity and the craze it creates...I will die in it! Amen!!

siye102:
I believe in God's existence but I want to know why he is not fair?
why does he chose to bless some and allow others to wallow in poverty and pain?

My dear, I feel your pain and I want to help you.
You see its not enough to believe in God's existence, you need to know Him by accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour, you search the word to know His Will and then pray His Will down into your life, He will surely answer!
One more thing, in the race of life, dont compare with others..Some have other sources of help, you wont wish to even have and claim it was God that helped. We have seen people commit fraud, steal and say God prospered them, not so. And we have seen the very rich die ot cancer..Everyone really seems to have his own share of lifes troubles but if you want to live in perpetual dominion, you need to give your life to Christ and atten classes on Faith, Prayers and mastery of the word with Jesus: only Jesus can teach dominion!
In conclusion, pls share your challenges with me, let me pray a prayer of faith with you. You need to see Gods signs and wonders and I know you will believe!

Dinocarex:
Hello, Nairlanders, for some times now, I have been itching to ask this question. The difference between being a Christian and a Born Again Christian.
Often times, I hear people ask me, Are you a Christian? My answer of course Yes!! , then they will proceed, are you a Born Again Christian? Sometimes, when I say Yes.. They will be like.....Are you sure??

Personally, I think Christianity is not just a religion but a way of life... Which one is now Born Again Christian?

I need explanation pls and you can as well quote the scripture.


Thanks

I

Bro In Christ you are on point and may God bless you.
Truly Xtianity is the religion of those that believe but may not live the life.
Beign a Xtian is living the life of Christ for 'the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch'.It was a nickname to those that lived and preached Christ...It means little Christs.
Now being born again is same..Therefore being a christian and being born again is same! If you claim to be a christian, you must be born again for 'let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity' BUT Xtianity defines only a xtians beliefs in Christ and isnt bothered whethered its practised or not!

Freksy:
Who is a Christian, and the thief got where?

So you havent heard that simple story before.
Even CRS at senior secondary school level covers that important story.
If you dont know who a xtian is and where the thief went and still didnt deduce it from my post, my bro I cant help u oooo. Let those who understand contribute while you wait for my other posts that would throw light into your questions!
