Krismas:
U miss my meaning! Jesus has no link with scripture. Human beings like u and I started it. Not scripture.
The scriptural link is that there was never Jesus in the Bible until he was smuggled in.
Or how did the name Yehoshua become Jesus?

AntiChristian:
Only an incompetent teacher answers what he's not asked!

Jesus was asked about divorce as the Pharisees usually tests him.

And he answered them well!

He wasn't asked about polygamy not marriage! Stop reading meaning into the texts according to what you want!

Krismas:
If that is true, then, u would have considered shifting ur Christmas and Easter away from days celts celebrate their fertility deities like Ishitar and stop using their symbols like Christmas trees and flip flop lightings and Easter eggs. When will u people stop deceiving yourselfs?

Krismas:
Here u are condemning the Celtic Samhain while u accept the Celtic deity Esus or Hesus or Aesus. What is the difference between Jesus and Hesus?

... Commits adultery because the woman is no longer in marriage and that is the adultery.

You guys go to church on Sunday not the sabbath and celebrate the birthday of Jesus on the day of the pagan Winter Solstice Festival. Pls rest.

LordReed:
Halloween IS A CHRISTIAN holiday. That's what you ignorant people don't know.

AntiChristian:
The question was about what? Divorce! That's all!

Was Jesus asked about polygamy or marriage?

No!

🇺🇸 Donald Trump pledged on Saturday to punish and make it too costly for countries to shift away from using the US dollar, adding a new pillar to his tariff platform.

“You leave the dollar and you’re not doing business with the United States because we are going to put a 100% tariff on your goods,” the Republican presidential nominee said at a rally in the battleground state of Wisconsin.

The statement follows months of discussions between Trump and his economic advisers on ways to penalize allies or adversaries who seek active ways to engage in bilateral trade in currencies other than the dollar.

Options have included export controls, currency manipulation charges and tariffs, people familiar with the matter have previously told Bloomberg News.

Trump, who has long embraced protectionist trade policies, said the dollar has been “under major siege” for eight years. China, India, Brazil, Russia and South Africa discussed de-dollarization at a summit last year. By contrast, Trump wants the dollar to remain the world’s reserve currency, a pledge he renewed at Saturday’s rally.

Her education is a waste. Leaving your marriage because your husband took a second wife in Nigeria? She should continue living in delusion. This is Africa not Europe or America.
The same way we reject same sex union is the same way the West reject polygamy.

MrAmbrose:
I watched that interview on fb. That woman is indeed intelligent, she speaks eloquently, she's indeed a woman of substance. God bless her.

AntiChristian:
He never said anything about marriage but divorce!

In Matthew 19:3-9, Jesus was not speaking about polygamy. Rather, He is only answering a question about divorce. Indeed, the entire passage is about divorce, not polygamy.

"Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Matthew 19:3-9.

Indeed, in Matthew 19:8-9, Jesus simply repeats the Deuteronomy 24:1 "as it had been in the beginning", that God has always been against divorce of what He joined together. In Matthew 19:3, the Pharisees were asking about "every" reason for divorcing, but Jesus returned back with the only one allowed reason (the woman's "fornication / uncleanness", as per Deuteronomy 24:1.

Polygamy is about marriage, whereas divorce is about breaking up marriage. Accordingly, Jesus was not speaking against pro-marriage polygamy in Matthew 19. He was instead addressing marriage-destruction of divorce. It was about divorce, not polygamy.

AntiChristian:
Which principal did Jesus practice for you as regards marriage? He taught you Lord's prayer ! He also told the rich ruler to follow him!

Did he tell him to follow laid down principles?

HeadNigga:
Kids get married up north...but does that make them adults?...

AntiChristian:
Jesus didn't marry!
So also Paul and many disciples!

Model your life and don't marry!
Leave the babes for us!

Our life is modelled after him as we believe he ran the last lap of Prophethood after Jesus!

Follow Jesus and don't get married!

God2man2again:
Luke 18:16-17 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

In my own opinion and in consent with the above scriptural verses, children or infants should be allowed to know Christ at any age.

What do you think?

How Christians Should Dress Up Their Kids For Halloween

Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Halloween is a wile of the devil deviced to lure many Christians and their kids into worshipping him and to gain an early grip in their lives.

So Christians should not continue being ignorant of the devil's devices and keep dressing up their kids in demonic costumes in the name of Halloween.

Instead they should dress them up in the full armour of God, with the Helmet Of Salvation, Breastplate Of Righteousness, Belt of Truth, Shield of Faith, Shoes of Peace, and The Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, so they will learn to withstand the wiles of the devil early right from their childhood.

God bless.

Did you and the pastor tell him about Deuteronomy 21:15-23

15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Tell him. NO. READ TO HIM Deuteronomy 21:15-23

AntiChristian:


What did David do with all his wives?

What about Solomon?

Abeg o! Send the number of those your ex wives maybe I fit take them out of Christianity!

Cain's son Lamech and Moses had 2 wives. David had 8 wives! Solomon 300 wives and 700 concubines! Gideon had many wives!
Deuteronomy 21:1-17 suggest marriage of multiple wives including captured prisoners gotten from conquests.

Elkanah a godly man and father of Samuel had 2 wives. Abraham, the father of faith had two wives!

In 2 Samuel 12 when the prophet Nathan confronts David over his sin with Bathsheba, we read: "This is what the Lord God of Israel says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I have given you your master's house and your master's wives into your bosom … and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and as if this wasn't enough, I would have given you even more."

Is it that all of these men of God were not guided (by the Holy spirit) in their marriages?

And lastly Yahweh prescribed law to protect first wife in Polygamy- Exo 21:10 "If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights."

Daejumong:
Hi Daejumong, I am a new Christian convert with 4 wives! My pastor said I need to send three of my women away except the first wife! He said it is called restitution and it’s important for my new life in Christ!

My wives have all given their lives to Christ as well and I love them and not keen on sending any of them away.
I am a 38yr old man living in the northern part of Nigeria and I used to be a Muslim .

Sir, what should I do? Can’t I keep all of them and we all serve God together?

The Brit is a citizen of the UK. Nigerians seek to work/study there. They must do as the natives demand.

It is that simple.

MrPresident1:
No, you are completely wrong. God did not destroy S&G because of sexual immorality, this is just the symptom of debasement, the real disease was unending evil and wickedness, it was because of evil, wickedness, and cruelty that God destroyed S&G.

Any nation that mouths platitudes eg freedom, democracy, peace etc yet it uses its powers to enforce LGBTQWJDH at home, and export by force to the world is an evil nation of unending wickedness, the reason is that people can hide their character but there are telltale dead giveaway signs which tell who a person really is, so also it is with nations.

A nations that legislates for and spreads LGBTQYHALHDSG is dead drunk in Satanism. A whitewashed sepulchre but inside it is full of the dirtiest uncleanness
