This write up, how is it gonna change the current situation we are facing in this country? How are we going to be like the white man who took our tradition and gave us Christianity? Have you ever asked yourself why is China, Japan and others who are not Christians are far better than us who claim to read the bible and know God? My friend once told me that, the church has failed us. I never doubted him.
Please, the ealier you start praying so that God will answer our prayers and change the situation at hand, the better. At least, let your name be referenced as the Prophet of our time. It will not be better for the people who introduced Religion that has divided my beloved country.

It had nothing to do with Onan spilling his seed, and the verse in question had nothing to do with masturbation (and no, I am not excusing masturbation...especially as I have never engaged in it, because quite frankly it does not make sense).

Onan was supposed to marry his late brother's wife, and under the customs of that time, the first child he had with his wife would be counted as his brother's child (strange to us, but in a society with high child mortality, and a concern over keeping lineages alive...).

Onan refused to do that because (as the verses imply)...he hated his brother Er. So, out of bitterness, he denied Er THE RIGHT TO KEEP his lineage alive.

Essentially, what Onan also was doing was

1. Denying Tamar the right to have a child...in a society where barreness was a BIG STIGMA. (See how Jacob, Onan's grandpa, wife Rachel felt about having no kids...and later on Hannah. And even Sarah, Onan's great-great grandmother).

2. Essentially telling his father that he wanted both his and Er's inheritance...ie greed. If he had done what he was supposed to do, then when Judah died, his firstborn son would have gotten Er's portion of the inheritance. By having no kids, he gets a dobule portion.

3. Essentially commiting an injustice to his late brother and dishonoring his memory.

Thus..as the bible put it in Genesis 38 vs 8-10

8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also

So, nothing to do with seed or with masturbation as the OP thinks it does.

At its base it is a story about how harmful greed and resentment can be. And how wickedness also can provoke resentment (Er is described as a wicked man, so it is obvious that he was wicked to his two younger brothers, breeding anger and resentment).

Very detailed and comprehensive. Thanks so much.

There is an igbo adage that says: Meta onye di nma enyi, maka olulu! If translated it simply means; Get a good girlfriend incase it turns out to marriage. That's all I can say for now.

Congratulations my Sister! May God Almighty protect you and bless your diligence! A role model worthy of emulation! God bless you and safeguard you!

This is the highest form of unprofessionalism from the teacher. If it's here in my State, the Civil Service rule is very clear... LETTER OF DISMISAL AWAITS YOU.

This is a clear indication of what the evening will look like when it's still morning. My brother, run oooo!

Oga eat normal foods, reduce meat, poultry if you must, eat the chicken breast. Generally food that with create less creatinine. Healthy protein could be gotten from Eg beans ie plant protein, not the one from red meat. If possible, don't put salt on your food, at best very little. Eg I do not season my eggs with salt, rather garlic powder, pepper, curry. Salt is a major destroyer. Next thing is sugar. Avoid carbonated drinks aka minerals. That one na major killer of kidneys, beers, spirits etc all contain lots of sugar.
I stopped alcohol 1.8 years ago, guess what, I use to be 117kg, today I am 94kg, just by eating and drinking changes. No exercise!
Drink plenty of water, me I drink atleast 6 bottles daily minimum.
The only challenge I have is cigarettes. Once I overcome that I will be a lot better.
Nb: guys also check for uti ie urinary tract infections. That one too na kidney killer.

You really said it all. God bless you immeasurably. Lessons learnt.

Please, kindly tell us Nigerian foods one can eat for the good of the kidney. Thanks

I am so ashamed of myself.

All is vanity.

Jay Jay, you made my youthful days memorable! Happy birthday Sir and I wish you many more fruitful years, Amen.

It's so unfortunate.

Kogi State government paid me 3k per month in bulk. A whooping 36k. Around year 2009, Governor Ibrahim Idris Ibrahim, God will surely bless you.

NYSC is not a place of luxury but a place to train yourself for the hard times. That's the essence of the training. It really helped me alot.

Mr IT haven't you heard of chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis even with your IT?

Mr. Know all, have you not heard of Prevention is better than cure? You have not heard?

We already have a lot of things to think about rather than this.
Try and send in something that is more reasonable than this.

This your model cannot work.

I am so impressed. There is a Ray of hope in Nigeria.

So sad

Biko, close your mouth and let us hear word .

It will definitely look like a skit to you because it’s a man that is being accused here, but if it were to be a woman you would have believed it.

By now this thread would have been on page 99 full of derogatory words about women

All men are serial cheat!! Men can never be faithful!!

Bunch of nonsense randy men!! Shior!

You are very saucy and insolent. Your words are acidic. Tell me why your husband won't cheat with this type of display in public. Who knows what happens at home. Now let me inform you that when Character is Lost, all is lost. Most men have Character. Your character as a lady is a mess.

Chai... This harsh situation has affected the Lion ooo! But wait ooo! The University management has sent a delegation to the widow and children of the deceased, imploring them to take solace in God who gives life and also has the power to take life.”
What has God gat to do with this? Africa and religion ehhh Lol!

Marriage has a lot to do with fear of God, self control, respect and fidelity.

Mennn! It's an experience you will live to appreciate women for the rest of your life. During the birth of my 1st son and my twins, you appreciate the Almighty God. The greatest of the greatest!
I vividly remember crying and asking God to forgive my sins and remember his promises for me. Chai! You need to see how the nurses gave birth to my twins. To God Almighty be the glory, Amen. Appreciate your wife.

What you gave as remedies are far from solving the menace!

May Almighty God continue to bless and grant you all your heart felt desires. May your love continue to glow and may your children be a blessing to you and all mankind, Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!

The appearance looks sumptuous!
I rate you 7/10.
