Debbime: I dont have to deceive myself dear, from what Christians do to each other I will rather be a pagan than to attend all these churches, and for your info and clarification, it only means that birthdays have pagan origins and not that other religions are pagans.
Meanwhile, I am not a witness YET!!!
Is there any day that is free of pagan worship e.g
Monday: Moon day
Thursday: Sacrifice day
Sunday: Sun day
So, any day you choose to worship, a particular god is being worship.
The day the three Hebrews refused to bow to Baal and King Nebuchadnezzar saw God in action.
In his words, he said from today "We shall be worshpping the God of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego
degemstone: Jehovah witness are the best form of Christianity to me. i love the way they approach people and the way they talk about the kingdom of God.
Really, a group of people that doesnt mingle with others yet tried to force their believe on you.
They don't marry outsider
They don't celebrate their achievements e.g birthdays
They don't believe in the word "Church"
They ascribe only "Jehovah" to God's name as if the rest of His names are weak
eezeribe: op,everything you have written up there is your own interpretation and based on your understanding of the Bible.Another person can come out and contradict every point you have stated,using the same Bible references.
alwelldinho: Don't we play Ghanaians songs in our shows too? sarkodie has a large fan base in Nigeria, Fuse ODG, VIP and Shattawale has a considerable fan base too. I think if his song was the rave of the moment it would have been played.
When makossa songs were in vogue, it was played in Nigeria more than our local songs. He should go back to the studio and cook a dope song and Ghana and world beyond will celebrate him. Same advice goes to other Ghanaian artists.
TreasuredLeidy: So I read a comment in one of the front page topics dis morning concerning Christmas.. The person was like December 25th is not d birthday of Jesus buh d feast day of Illuminaty people. Is dis true? Come to think of it, there is no biblical reference that Christ was born on December 25th so so so year or is there? Am a Christian actually n I do celebrate Christmas buh dah comment gat me thinking hard..
Was Christ truly born on December 25th or the Early Christians just choose the day to celebrate his Birth?
Please if anyone know where d birth date of Jesus is Stated in d Bible or Why we celebrate His Birth every December 25th, He/She should point it out. Tnx #IJustWannaBeEducated
At times some Christians do ask foolish question. I doubt your Christianity anyway. You are probably a wolf in sheep clothings.
The date 25th of Dec was adopted. You can choose any day of your choice if so desire. He was born....that's the fact and the celebration of his birth is inevitable
mooremoney: Amokachi and Stephen keshi use to collect bribe, he should not deny it. I know a player that gave him money just to play for the national team. Nonsense
harmbhrosz: really? I don't own my body so who does? Lol
Before you reply God, it's the spirit/soul that belongs to God as the body is of this earth and shall remain here(that's why the body becomes useless after death)
Even science has find numerous ways of refilling the body parts.
Then, we can't continue this conversation since you can't back your claims with scriptures.
"He is the Lord of the body"
1Cor 6:12-13
“I have the right to do anything,” you say — but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything” — but I will not be mastered by anything. You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
harmbhrosz: don't just go about it hurting when it's moderately done, we both know that's a lie brother...
One only start having the side effects when one becomes an addict (as too much of everything is bad)
Don't you get it? You don't own the body You can't justify the hurt to your body by your feelings.
Your opinion doesn't count. You hurt your body by the act.....irrespective about how you feel.
18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies
You defined GLUTTONY to be Excessive desire for for(it's actually think it's suppose to be excessive consumption of food).... That's by the way...
The word excessiveness there is the real sin as it is said that too much of everything is bad so that does not justify a moderate self-service (since it's not excess) or does it?
You knew what I had in mind. Excessive consumption of food. And you are missing the point.
Consumption of food is a good thing.
You need to justify masturbation first as a good act before talking about it being excessive or not
It was easy for them to quote verse 18 but the next verse said:
19Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
chrisav: Sin is anything against Love. there are sins against God,Jesus or Holy spirit( mark 3), the soul and body. masturbation is NOT a sin against God but a SIn against YOUR BODY.
harmbhrosz: yea I know what SENSUALITY means.... But what made you think a monopolized pleasure that doesn't hurt another party is a sin as the verses above clearly did not states that, other important point above goes below
idolatry which cannot involve just you alone, someone else has to be involve, socery: also cannot involve you alone. enmity: means being an enemy I think, so you have to be enemy of someone else, thus not involving you alone strife: means conflict of violence, so it's not a monopolized act, thus involving someone else. jealousy and envy: we both know what that means fits of anger: you have to be angry with someone else rivalries: you have to be a rival to someone else, you can't rival yourself dissensions: means expression (spoken) or strong disagreement, so it has to involve another party divisions: we both know what means drunkenness: one ends up hurting others by use of abuse words or by a physical combat act.
So my question is... How are your highlighted points monopolized that made you think it's a sin sice self-service will not hurt another person?
And about the division, it's just my reason behind disliking religions....I know it off topic tho.
The first thing I mentioned was that this sin is a SIN AGAINST YOUR OWN BODY.
Your body has many desires: E.g
1. Hunger for food
2. Thirst for Water
3. Desire for sexual pleasure
For instance, GLUTTONY is a sin
What is GLUTTONY: Excessive desire for food
You can see that it doesn't necessarily means other party has to be involve. You can sin against your own BODY
harmbhrosz: you highlighted the above which could simply mean desiring of someone's else flesh like lusting after another person. And the words clearly did not state mono-pleasure as ome will have to desire another person's flesh(pre-marital affairs).....
I'm more concern about the divisions you didn't highlight tho.
Check the definition of SENSUALITY. It does not necessarily has to do with lust.
There are times the urge just come naturally even without thinking about naked woman or lusting after someone.
About Division not being highlighted, It has no link with the topic at hand
ILoveToFuCcK: In the early hours of yesterday we were greeted with the news that The department of Criminology in unilorin has been scrapped and the students of the department were left "hanging"
It is a well known fact that Unilorin is a glorified secondary school and the students can't protest otherwise.. *coughs*
Unilorin students took to twitter to complain about the series of profane events going on in the school 1)We queue in the morning for hours to get busses ..even after lectures.. The queues are always very long and we get incessant harassment from the "Power intoxicated Cadets"
2)We paid for a Tab for over 1year the tab has not been released...yet the school didn't deem it fit to release an official explanation to explain the reason behind the delay
3)Our permanent ID card is yet to be released to us as at this time yet no explanation from the school
4)A whole department was scrapped too and they were told they'll be moved to sociology or other departments
5)Students were mandated to pay a compulsory 5,000 for bandwidth even before you can pay your school fee... yet it's mid semester no bandwidth yet... the available one are as slow as anything you can think of
6)The school portal keeps getting hacked into freely and students can't even access their portal
#UnilorinEnoughIsEnough You can't keep putting fear in students mind... what kind of future leaders are we grooming
KingSango: But being a gay isnt? Marrying gays is isnt? Desire to mate is normal its the perversions which are the sins. gay Christians run the church and are preaching purity.
Yes, the desire is normal...but giving in to such desire is a SIN.
Marrying a gay is against the definition of marriage according to the Bible
redon12: Tis been a wild practice for me .. though ashamed of it ... But
you guys got to answer me cause am really getting confused here...
Pls IS MASTURBATION A SIN??.
Its a SIN. The Bible called it a Sin of the flesh
Galatians 5:16-18New International Version (NIV)
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Gal 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Now, what is
Sensuality: The enjoyment, expression, or pursuit of physical, especially sexual, pleasure
