Hm Salah is really turning into someone else...into something else, D Messi-less!

Guys guys, since we're all out i.e. except Liverpool fans of course, can we please support of premier league brothers?

Well don't know about you but for this night I'm with Mohammed Salah and his crew.

PrimadonnaO:
You're a Catholic. I'm a Christian. But is it a big deal if the pastor comes to the trad venue to bless the marriage? Must all the white gown and train and what not be done before a pastor blesses a union?

FYI, all Catholics are Christians. Do not deceive or let any one deceive you. This is another misconception but that's a chapter for another day.

To answer your question though if you've read more thoroughly, you needn't ask. The traditional marriage and the christian marriage CANNOT be combined. We are not Jews where their culture and religion sync. We have christian marriage rites that must be done in a church or chapel. That is the christian custom.

How ignorant people are. And it's dangerous because the don't know but think they do. It's better you don't know and know you don't. But then again this can also be turned around against the speaker and it becomes a your-word-against-mine thing. Well you don't have to believe me but if you're Christian you should put this into consideration.

The traditional marriages we speak of in the Bible were all Jewish rite marriages. Now this is were the confusion is, the Jews were Jewish by culture and by religion. The religion - Judaism and the culture went hand in hand, they were one. That's why it's hard to notice. We on the other hand are Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas, etc. as our culture and Christians by religion. And as we all know, these two are far apart. Most of the Igbo practices does not correlate our Christian faith and practices.

If you are Christian, you should know that you are Christian first before you are Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc. Your Christianity supercedes your culture. This does not say you should throw away your culture to the gutter or not observe your traditional practices, NO, but anything that contradicts or does not correlate to Christianity should be indeed thrown away or avoided. The Jewish don't have a problem with this because theirs go hand in hand.

Why am I saying all this What's the damn point I'm trying to make Now this is it - as Christians we have obligation to have a Christian marriage if you're going to get married. This does not in any way throw away our traditional marriages to the gutter in fact it is necessary, for the families to come together 'formally', do the dowry ceremony and agree/consent to giving their children out.

But the Christian marriage is of paramount importance. If you're Catholic, lemme ask you this - do it make sense or rather is it right for you to receive holy communion without receiving the sacrament of first holy communion? Let that answer be between you and God. Now in the same light, it is NOT right to marry without the sacrament of holy matrimony. Same for other churches, it isn't right to get married without bringing God's blessings to it through your pastors. No one is saying you can't bless your self and your spouse but there's a reason Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple to be presented to God rather than staying at home and presenting Jesus from there.

Well this is my conclusion, most people that are against christian marriage don't want to be bound by it's rules/obligations for example prohibition of use of contraceptives, divorce, etc. And yes even though people that have done the christian marriage still break some or most of these rules but it's good that you're on the right track and fall as much times as possible but get up than on the wrong.

Nb: Christian marriage is not wedding reception.

OK.

MaziOmenuko:
Would have been nice if you quoted some scriptures to validate your claim. All you typed was based on your own personal view and nothing biblical.

Meanwhile, you may need to read up the history of what we now call 'White marriage'. It was never recorded in the bible, unless the bible is no longer the source of your faith.

Yea maybe you could also quote for me the part of the bible that says "all people of God must find everything of Truth in the Bible", while you're doing that, you can also look up the word "Bible" in the Bible. If you don't find it then we've all been deceived, ain't it?

My brother it is common for people to put off or find excuses for things that would clash with their lifestyle.
I don't know the 'white wedding', but if you know God is the one who give us this gift of marriage - the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, you believe it was through His grace that made it possible to have enough resources to put food on the table for more than just you, to join you with a wonderful partner to spend your life with, then what's all this argument about? What's wrong with Him blessing your marriage formally through His ministers in the church.

You know, some people actually justify, I mean really justify sex before marriage. So is it this one they wouldn't? This isn't new. Know the Truth and accept it, or don't. It's up to you.

davidque:
Its called traditional "MARRIAGE" not traditional carnival. Traditional marriage is simply the local version of White wedding. So once you have paid her dowry and received her parents consent to wed her, you are legally married even before God and there is no sin in knowing your wife. Ignorance is a major problem in our society. If you are a Christian, then let your traditional marriage be with prayers to and before God. If you are a muslim you pray to Allah and add your ismalic practices and if you are amadioha's or Sango's pikin pray to him. shekenan!!! QED

Yes bro of course it's "MARRIAGE". The Lady is given to the man and his family and the two are joined together as husband and wife, by "THE FAMILIES", by the families, don't you get?

Are you an atheist? If yes then fine, I understand.

But we're Christians by culture. And we should live that way.

I know a lot people here are going to bash me for this but it's okay. I'm not the right or worthy person to say this but since no one here have no plans of saying this its good people know the Truth.

First of all, the true author of Christianity is Jesus Christ himself and not the 'white people'. This has been a sad misconception for a very long time till now. If I write a book and I want you and your whole family, friends and relations to read it and know it, and live by it and I give it to you first to read it and pass on, that doesn't make you the owner or creator of the book, you where just privileged to share it to other people. The white people don't own Christianity neither did they create it. And it's not 'black' mentality, for all those that'll always like to give themselves an excuse to do wrong. Well that's by the way. And FYI it's proper name is Christian marriage and not 'white wedding'.

In order for your marriage to be truly valid, three things must check, if any one is left out, your marriage is incomplete and may suffer in future (and by then the only people you can point at is your village people):
- the hospital
- the family
- the church

- the hospital has to check in the sense that the couple has to find out their compatibility status or else they'll be doing their children, their pockets and even their self serious bad. Compatibility status like your genotype, blood group, and any other related tests in the hospital/lab.

- the family has to check in the sense that both couples families have to agree and consent to giving their children away (though this is mostly the case of the woman). In some countries there's nothing like traditional marriage. They just fix a dinner where the families come together and know themselves and agree on what's up. But here in Nigeria culture, we do ours in an amazing manner where both families come together and the ladies family gives her hand out to the other family and they come to an agreement, in a grand style. This is our culture and this is good, very good.

But my friend your marriage is not yet complete, yes you've gotten your parents blessings, fine. But you see marriage is a special gift, a sacrament from God. And if he has given us such great gift, won't it be fitting that he bless it for us through his servants, our ministers in our Church?

- the church has to check in the sense that every marriage has to be blessed and bonded by God through His ministers so no one can put asunder. Yes I know, people seize this moment to point at the broken 'Christian' homes, cheating husbands/wives and co., but if you understand God you'll know that he allows some things just to test our faith. Constant prayer is needed in every marriage, in every home. Christian marriage is not to make your marriage known to the world, but rather to make your marriage known to God, to bring God into your marriage. It can be done between you, your spouse and the priest/pastor of your church. The misconception nowadays is that you must invite the whole world before you know you've done Christian marriage. And that's why many people shy away and give lousy excuses why it's not important and unnecessary. Now I tell you, a Christian marriage can be done between you and your spouse and a few family members. You don't have to do it big. Cut your coat according to your size. Besides the Christian marriage has nothing to do with the reception. It's just additional celebration.

Sorry this had to be this long. To answer your questions if you haven't gotten it by now, NO, Christians are not allowed to have sex after Traditional marriage because the marriage ain't valid yet until the Christian marriage.

Edoblakky:
Before you quote people, ensure you read and understood what they wrote. You obviously didn't read my writeup. Read again and understand then come back and quote me. It would have been better you asked me to clarify your doubt rather than reduce what you didn't get from my writeup.

Actually I did, more than once.

If you have read mine more carefully you wouldn't have said this as well.

Okay you're not completely wrong from your previous post, I got that okay? But that is completely different from what OP meant. That your post could've been more suited for a tread with topic 'Importance of going to church' or something similar.

OP point is, some guys or girls in the bid to fulfil 'my Sunday obligation' or to answer 'yes I have gone to church', without remorse or respect for God carry out their evil activities Saturday night (maybe other days too, but let's focus on Saturday night here), then the next day dress and go to church.

God won't smite this people with thunder like zeus. God is love and mercy, through out their lives He'll keep trying to call them back through one person or thing or the other.

But let's not confuse God's Salvation, Salvation as a state is what God gave us when He died for us on the cross - opening the gate of heaven for humanity . Salvation as a Process is the effort we have to make to keep the grace God gave us, to be in a state of grace. St. Paul has already told us this grace can be lost anytime by not following God's ways and doing evil things.

If you don't show God that you hate this particular sin and put effort to stop it, he's not going to help you take care of any sin.

Cheers

Abang52:
So because I bleep make I no go visit my father again. Oga

124 likes, 125 cooking. Guess who's in the kitchen?

And God is no father of anyone who rejects His ways and follows his/her own way without any care in the world.

Edoblakky:
So what do you suggest people who indulge in sin should do? Abstain from church service ?
This is not to justify sin but the scriptures say "what can separate us from the love of God?" God hates sin but loves the dinner. I always advise people to avoid sin , but if they sin, the church is the best place to go for cleansing. Do you know that by listening to God's word, we're cleansed?
Let's not condemn one another but encourage ourselves to yield more to God and in no time, we'll realize that for the child of God, sin is not an option but a matter Christ already dealt with for us. God bless us all.

If you understood the point OP was trying to make, you won't have posted this.

From your logic, a guy can bring a babe home Saturday night to bleep knowing fully well he'll be going to church the next day?

He might as well during the bleep ask her if she brought her bible with her

Let's not insult God.

NaijaElba:
I have left church in the middle of service to bleep my Colombia gf when I first met her....I pray God should forgive me anyway. Bleeping all night and going to church in the morning is nothing....Some pastors bleep church ladies, God didn't because of that pull the church down or make the pastor die. It is only God that I knows who's serving him wholeheartedly.

Somehow, just sooomehooow something in you gives you the impression that you made some sense

Sorry.

Peterosky:
Op you sound as if you are perfect. The Bible is very clear on this, no man is perfect. No wonder it is written that our righteousness is just like a filthy rag.And Jesus said I came not for the righteous but for the sinners for he who is whole need not a physician.
The bottom line of the matter is that we don't go to church because we are perfect but to ask God for forgiveness and other blessings. David was called a man after God's own heart not because he was sinless but because any time he sin against God he will always go to him (God) seeking for his forgiveness. Do you know how many times the go against the ordinances of God? yet they are always forgiven when they seek the face of God.

I don't know whether you read what you wrote at all but you didn't make any sense bro.
1.) You don't have to be perfect before you correct someone okay? God has let us know through the Bible that if you see (or know) your brother or sister is committing sin and you do not rebuke him, you also share in that sin. I think this was referred to Jeremiah, read the book.

2.) Our righteousness is like a filthy rag if it's for the purpose of gaining admiration and fame rather than true holiness and being a reflection of the beauty of God.

3.) This is clearly a very silly comment. Jesus came for sinners because we're all sinners, He came for us all bro. Or I don't understand, are you saying you want to keep consciously committing sin to fit the category of 'sinners'? C'mon...

4.) Yes correct, we ask for His forgiveness and blessing because we didn't mean to do it and we don't want to do it anymore.

5.) David lost his son and was stopped from building God's temple for Him. He was spared because of how good and kind he was and how much he cherished God and His commandments. (Just that girl on the roof messed him up sha, because of what? Because of the issue OP is addressing and evil people want to eat her up for it)

6.) Yes, God is Love and Mercy, agreed. But he is also Justice. God can neither deceive nor be deceived.

dingbang:
you are right...


Are you without sin too?

So you must be spotless of sin before you correct something evil?
You're implying that everyone who preached against evil in the bible were sinless? The Apostles, John and the rest of them?
'A righteous man sins at least 7 times a day'
Can you count righteous people in our society today?
And don't let the devil minister to you that since a righteous man can sin up to 7 times then who are you. Though we're not perfect, We strive each day to be holy, to be perfect through conscious effort and grace.

But if you want to use your imperfection as an excuse to keep sinning then just know that the devil can't wait to have you for dinner.

Don't support evil,

I will die before I eat that thing! Tufiakwa!

Maybe the op meant "if you want to break up with a man forever, use this recipe".

otijah:
The pastor was quick to answer that question.

I asked my pastor why did God never gave his people signs that the devil was about to strike his church in calabar that led to many deaths of his children

I asked my pastor why were the survivors thanking and praising the same God that let others die. Is it that those ones are the devils themselves

Till date my pastor is still confused

And if u not ready to give me a befitting answer why God let such tragedy struck in his house then don't qoute me pls

I will.

Religion is so funny, it makes everything look like a problem, then they proffer a solution which coincidentally is their religion

Are women wearing skirts and showing their hair to everybody?

Islam: This is wrong my imaginary friend said in the book he gave us; wear this ugly looking thing that covers all your body, that's the solution

Two adults rub their genitals together?

Religion: This is wrong, it'll make our god angry with you; solution? come to our religion (whichever idiotic one the idiot saying it belongs to) and do as my caveman god commands

You dreamt of eating in the dream?

Christianity: This is evil, you should start shouting the name of a mythical son of a Jewish carpenter to rebuke the enemy of the mythical son of a Jewish carpenter; that enemy is responsible for your eating in the dream

are you gonna die sometime in the future?

Religion: if you do not live the life that pleases my imaginary friend, he'll deal with you after you die and punish you forever and ever; you can prevent this from happening to you by obeying your master in fear and trembling or wear this bomb vest and detonate it in the market place

Everything becomes a problem to them because without making it so, their charade becomes useless






Edit: I remember reading in a book (can't remember the title) how perfume was patented in the US but nobody was buying, the sellers of the perfume be like

Seller: Hey Mr Appleby, good morning sir, would you like to smell like Roses?

Mr Appleby: what? smell like Roses? why? I like my body the way it is

Seller: but you can smell like Roses if you buy our product

Mr Appleby hisses and goes back to doing whatever he was doing before the seller disturbed him

The manufacturers couldn't sell their products so they decided to start advertising in newspapers that anyone who isn't smelling of roses must be smelling bad; they ran an aggressive campaign to make not smelling like roses a very bad thing

It worked, people started buying their product so they can smell like Roses and not smell "bad" ("bad" being what they were comfortable with before seeing the adverts) a market was born, anyone who isn't smelling like roses suddenly became undesirable, unsophisticated, uncivilized and was forced to smell like roses by buying the perfume and sprinkling it on his/her body


This is akin to how religion operates, they make not thinking the way they want you to think (not smelling like roses) a problem that needs a solution, the solution which happens to be, well, thinking the way they want you to think (smelling like roses)


NB: anyone who's read a book with a similar narration about the perfume can remind me the title

In your mind you think you're wise, little do you know that you are a FOOL, A VERY BIG FOOL YOU ARE...YOU AND EVERYONE HERE THAT CLAIMS WISE.

I have a successfully installed and working GTA V installed on my Windows 10 laptop. But my problem is that I don't like playing the game with mouse and keyboard. So, I I'd like someone to assist me on how to configure a Ucom pad to work for the game on my Windows 10 pc.
If I connect the pad to the laptop, the GTA V game will not open and it'll give errors. But when I removes it and open the game it'll open, but the ucom pad won't work.
The pad is actually detected by the pc but GTA v won't just detect it.

Please help me out. Thanks.

Delete any x360ce files you have on the folder where you have the launcher file and open as administrator.

GTA V actually provided an in-built pad configuration.
Just open the game, when you get to the gameplay, you can find the pad configuration through the settings in the menu

Porn is bad for you but it is not because porn is evil or whatever negative name OP is calling it. It is not bad because religion says so. It is bad because it has a terrible effect on the brain and how we relate to sex after seeing porn. Go to: www.yourbrainonporn.com
I bet you'd never wanna see porn again.

Either you're an atheist or you've completely gone nuts. And I'm basing this on your second statement btw.
