This is very good. Abnormal things shud be seen as abnormal. If u leave abnormal people alone, they will soon say that same sex marriage is OK and shud be legalise. Someone may ask me the connection between same sex marriage and dressing, and I'll answer "sin beget sin". Immodest dresses lead to lust, lust leads to fornication and from there, all sort of evil will spring up. When the right demons possess u, u will find homo and lesbianism interesting. Sin is a reproach to any nation. |

Myer: I can't completely agree with you just because Paul was not speaking to unbelievers but to believers and mostly new converts.
It is easy to know Paul's stand on the Law. Galatians 3 makes it very clear.
Galatians 3:1-14 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing?
Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard? Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. . Consider this portion u wrote: "Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort" . Salvation is by faith alone. u can't attend it by human nature. But after God have given u salvation, u MUST yield fruits of good works. God WILL NOT do it for u. Christ WILL NOT do it for u. He can only help and empower u thru the Holy Spirit. But human effort is still needed. That is why the bible will tell us to try persevere endure carry our cross etc. . I repeat what Paul said: ROM 3:31 . ["Does it mean that by faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all, instead, we uphold the Law"] . If u are truely a christian, u will obey the law naturally, out of love for God. Even Jesus Christ stressed the need to obey God's commandments. . And note, I'm not talking about Jewish ceremonial laws like circumcision, festivals etc. Rather, God's moral laws. I guess this is what confuses many when they read Paul's epistles |

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Did Christ Teachings Emphasize Works Of Righteousness And Not Grace? by FarmTech(m): 10:21am On May 30, 2021 |
Myer: Good question. Finally. This is one of the major contradictions in the bible.
Jesus preached Works. But Jesus also preached Grace. In fact the issue the Pharisees often had with Jesus was that while they tried to correct him for violating the works of the law, he proved to them that Grace was more important. When they tried to stone the adultress woman, he forgave her and prove to them that even they were equally guilty of sins which God forgave. When they were defending the laws and challenged him for working (miracles) on sabbath, he defended himself that He was Lord over Sabath.
Also, Peter and the other apostles preached works over Grace (Faith). James 2:14-17 Paul preached Grace over works. Roman's 11:6
Which was why Peter/James and Paul disagreed over Works and Grace. While Peter and James preached that Faith is justified by works. And without the works Faith is dead. Paul preached that Faith is not justified by works. In fact that mixing Faith and works means it is no longer Faith.
So if you were to conclude, what really is the bible's stand on Grace and Works? . There are 2 types of works u need to understand: 1. The work people do to get salvation. This is wrong. Because we are saved by grace alone, thru faith in Christ so that no one will boast. This is what Paul is emphasizing, that u can't mix work and faith to gain salvation. . 2. The work we do after accepting Christ. This is a must for every child of God. This is what Peter/James were saying, that if u really have faith in Christ, u must show it by the way u live ur live. Even apostle Paul said it in ROM 3:31 . ["Does it mean that by faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all, instead, we uphold the Law"] . More verses that shows that Paul agree with Peter/James: . Romans 6:12-23 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. Slaves to Righteousness What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. . Romans 6:1, KJV: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" . There are many more if you read Paul's epistles. Anyone who is telling u that u can remain in sin and still be a Christian by faith is a liar. Christians like that are the ones that call Christ Lord, but Christ will reject them and call them workers of iniquity. It is a pity that one homosexual supporter is still here arguing with us. That is one of the effect of false grace teachings. |

Romance › Re: When You Want A Woman And She Doesn't Want You by FarmTech(m): 9:50pm On May 11, 2021 |
KingsleyOnwuka1: Someone gisted me about how he has been struggling and begging “to do something” with a girl that comes to his house. The girl has been so tough for him, and he almost forced her the last time.
I simply advised him to disallow the girl from coming to his house anymore. When a girl comes so close to you, spends time comfortably with you in the privacy of your room, eats your food and collects money or receives other forms of favour from you, but she’s not interested in getting intimate with you, the best thing for you to do is to quickly cut off from her and just let her be. Don’t even allow such a situation to linger for long. Don’t allow interaction between you and a girl to get to the point where you’ll be struggling with her or begging her for sexual attention.
Gone are those days when one could be begging or pestering a girl for any kind of attention, gone are those days. It doesn’t make sense to me for a girl to behave as if giving a man sexual attention means doing him a favour, it doesn’t make sense to me at all.
In the course of relating with a girl for instance, I will be nice to you, I will spend on you, and even when we get the act I will also endeavour to pleasure and satisfy you. So if it comes to counting gains and losses, who actually gains and who loses in the whole thing? So how is it a favour you’re doing me? It’s just like in a business relationship, I hate it when a customer takes advantage of my humility to behave as if he/she is doing me a favour by patronizing me. A business relationship thrives on the basis of mutual need, I give you what you want (goods or services) and you give me what I want (money). So if there’s any favour in the business relationship, it is mutual favour, we did other a favour.
I heard on one radio show, that a guy has been begging a particular girl for relationship for more than one year and the girl is still saying no. it sounded like a joke to me. When a man seeks to relate closely with a girl, the primary end in mind is sex (although he might later find the girl worthy of something more meaningful perhaps after the sex, but the primary aim at first is sex, it doesn’t matter how much or how long there is pretence about it).
And because of the way most men seek sexual attention from women, women in this part of the world tend to perceive themselves as the oxygen that men need to survive. There is nothing wrong in seeking to relate closely with a girl. It might even go beyond sex and lead to something more meaningful. And by the way, in the textbook THE SUBSATNCE OF PLOITICS by Appadorai, sex is listed as one of the primary needs of man (human beings in general), alongside food, drink, clothing and shelter. Craving for such pleasures is natural and one of what make us human.
But self-control is very much necessary, necessary in the sense that when you want a woman and she doesn’t want you, you leave her and respect yourself. If she cooperates and gives you the attention you desire, fine, go ahead and relate well with her. But if not, just free her and move on.
You might want to think she’s just playing hard-to-get. It might be true, but I don’t subscribe to the idea of a woman being hard-to-get. I belong to a facebook group where a lady posted something which I screenshot sometime ago, it reads: “Women are not hard-to-get. She is hard-to-get because she doesn’t like you. If a woman likes you she will be soft like today’s bread.”
It was a lady that made the post, the post resonated with me and I screenshot and saved it. When I like a girl and I make the slightest attempt to relate with her, and she shows me an attitude of not being interested, I will simply quickly free her and move on.
The point of this write-up is a message against rape. I’m writing this to discourage those men who have the tendency of raping women.
My heart was saddened by the news about the guy that raped and killed a young lady who went to see him in search of job in Uyo. I felt and still feel so sad about it. Perhaps the guy killed her just to prevent her from exposing his illicit act if rape against her. That’s the height of evil and wickedness! RAPE IS BAD! Rape is absolutely not necessary.
I belong to the school of thought that believes there is a substitute for everything. So u don’t have to be fixated on a particular woman. If any particular woman refuses to do anything with you, there are many other women out there, who are even more beautiful than she is.
So to my fellow men in the world: when you want a woman and she doesn’t want you – leave her and respect yourself and move on.
