Lol, as if the man wouldn't have the same expression because he was caught. Don't people get lynched for being accused of blasphemy up to this day? Lmao. Does their so called psychological expression save them from being wasted?
The bible says she must be stoned because she didn't shout, and you're here talking about physiological expression. Maybe Yahweh should have thought of that before commanding people to be stoned.
Like I said, rapists would always try to subdue their victim. Don't forget young girls in today's world face the same thing but are too scared to open up to anyone about it. You're only making silly excuses to defend a very unintelligent law when reality states otherwise.

You're surely the unintelligent one.

Tell me how a woman would not be able to shout when her mouth is not covered?

Tell me how people would see a knife or a gun on the crime scene and would not know that the woman was forced against her will?

kingxsamz:
You think in every rape case the victim was able to shout for help?
And how would it be clear? The verse clearly says she didn't shout for help. So her fate is sealed already. Find another excuse abeg.

Everyone would still know she was unwilling. It's not hard to see even from the psychological expression of the victim.

Moreso, there's no way a victim wouldn't be able to shout. A rapist cannot rape you and cover your mouth at the same time.

If she was silenced with a dangerous weapon, the rapist still appears more guilty, and the raped, innocent.

kingxsamz:
So what happens if she was unable to shout for help due to how subdued she was?

How would she not be able to should for help?

Even if she was unable, it would still be very clear to everyone that she was forced and she couldn't help herself. She won't be stoned.

kingxsamz:
Lol, this one saw "rape" and "violated" in one verse and concluded that it's fornication. How convenient. 😂

The verse you claimed is meant to punish rapist is even worse because if the woman is raped in the city and then discovered, she'll be stoned if nobody hears her crying for help. Which means, if the rapist subdues her and prevents her from screaming and then they're discovered, the woman would be stoned for not being able to cry out even though she was actually raped.

And you people claim that your Yahweh guy is wise. 😂

Both the man and the woman would be stoned. If the woman shouted for help, then, she'll be spared, and the rapist alone would be stoned.

Michael547:
So the snake used its brain to deceive Eve?
So an Animal actually made man to sin against his creator?

The snake was just a symbol. The actual personality is Satan.

Look for a proper translation...you will get the gist...not the contraption by King James . Those it makes sense to you now?

Now I see where the confusion is coming from. The Jews are deliberating altering the verse because it doesn't resonate with their expectations.

Look at the screenshot below for the word for word transaction of the verses:

Emm4:
We all know that animals including serpents can not speak the human language. But it is amazing that the writer of Genesis wrote that a Serpent spoke to Eve.

In this article, the author examines if animals had the natural ability to speak the human language in Eden and what actually happened that made them stop speaking. This article is worth reading and sharing:
https://theskynow.com/2024/04/24/did-serpents-have-the-ability-to-speak-before-the-fall-in-eden/

Do animals communicate among themselves? Yes!

Is it possible in the beginning that Man and Animals could understand one another before the line of communication was broken? Yes!

Was the whole world not speaking the same language before the line of communication was broken? Men may not understand each other's dialects as of today but they did millennials ago.

Man and Animals may not understand one another today but they did millennials ago. Even today, trained dogs do understand human communication.

Animals don't necessarily need to have the ability to speak the human language before commotion can occur. It's high probability that man used to understand the language of animals.

The book below.

Thanks very much.

Make I downloaded am sharp sharp.

nairalanda1:
And I am afraid, I don;t believe you. I may be wrong, but then again...I can't ask you to bring proof, because confidentiality

Good afternoon.

The child herself is proof of what I'm saying.

My father named her Surprise because of the circumstances surrounding her birth. I'm over 30yrs older than her.

nairalanda1:
I believe she was probably still ovulating , and also seeing her period as well....

Anyway.....

I told you she stopped seeing her periods 10 years prior.

nairalanda1:
Well, ye don't have to be vehement.



It's likely IVF...still doesn't make it a bad thing.


Menopause can last till 55 years maximum. It does not start until 12 months past the last period. If momma was seeing her period till 55 , she could have gotten preggers at 54..



And that's great .



Well, IVF is not that easy. People go through several cycles before they get successful. Being able to have a succesful IVF , with all the wahala...is something to give thanks to God for, along with thanks for creating the brains, ideas and people who made it possible.

My mum's menopause started very early while she was 40+. She didn't do menses again for more 10yrs before the conception.

chopnaira:
You would have to go and download Basden's book yourself 😂

Alright. Thank you.

What's the book title please?

nairalanda1:
IVF and hormones makes it so.

Here is how it probably went...she probably got some of her eggs stored years ago, and every now and then tried IVF with her hubby, and it worked after several rounds.

The world record is 69 years old , by one indian woman. (Yes, she was severely criticised for doing so).

(Just checked, she was 73.)

Lies.

If it was IVF, the woman would have said it!

My mum had 3 boys and 2 girls. She stopped giving birth in 1988. I am the firstborn but long after she had already passed menopause, at the age of 54, she got pregnant again at a time when I was already preparing for marriage in 2010. Me, her first born was well passed 30yrs at the time.

She wasn't looking for a child, so there was no IVF involved but she got pregnant anyway and delivered a bouncing baby girl who is now growing rapidly.

You guys should give glory to God whenever He does the unthinkable and stop attributing every conception miracle to IVF.

chopnaira:
I don't know about calabar but Ibos were far from being neat according to historical articles. In the old days, Ijaws make fun ibos not being clean.

Abeg try screenshot the Yoruba part of that book too make I feed my eyes.

"The Yoruba are thought to be nationalistic or even chauvinistic..."

22jumpstreet:
It is your fake understanding of scriptures that is the problem with you lot....

Isaiah was talking about future king Hezekiah that was already born and around 6 years old. You are mistranslating it as a prophetic verse for the jman.
God is not a man or the son of man , it is clearly stated in numbers 23:19 and in Hosea..but you won't accept it..

God is the creator of heaven and Earth, he can't be part of earth...it is not just possible..He can only be outside of the universe or the universe itself...

God is the universal divine spirit...

Not a Jewish man up in the sky...

So that 6yr old child was called the Mighty God, Everlasting Father.. isn't it?

AnambraPikinSel:
Do you know what Abia mean in Yoruba language?

In Yoruba, it is Abiya. Abijah has its counterpart in Yoruba as Abija. Yorùbá words never have a 'h' ending.

Should we say Yoruba is Jewish too?

DOptical:
See wailing at the face of facts. Ode.

Ooni is the central head! That's a fact. Facts remain unchanged

Dullard. Who says he's not?

Olu317:
Lol. Alaafin is disrespectful like oba bini in a way butn in a different way.

Alaafin is a maternal descent of Oranmiyan historically. And from 1839, that the title Alaafin was created after Oluewu/ Olukuewu was betrayed by warriors and Atiba who connived with Olu Ilorin /Emir Ilorin and killed /beheaded him at Ilorin.

Olufe Ooni Lajamisan was a direct biological son of Oranmiyan andcontinue even which Olufe Ooni Ojaja Ogunwusi is a direct male descent .

Alaafin is not disrespectful. The Ooni knows. Traditionally, the Alaafin does not bow to the Ooni because the ife stool was first occupied by a king who left ìfẹ for a war expedition that later led to him founding Oyo ilé.

The Ooni was a chief priest of ife who was authorized to administer the throne in the absence of the Oba. Since the Oba never returned, the chief priest eventually became the oba while the self exiled oba became Alaafin in Oyo. The Alaafin therefore can't bow to the Ooni but must respect the stool the Ooni sits on as the original seat of his forefathers.

If the Alaafin was a son of the Ooni, he would definitely bow. He can't disrespect his father.

DOptical:
Who told you he doesn't know his home? Ode. His crown is from Ife as a matter of fact.

Can't you see the picture where Ooni is at the central or you dey craze?

You're really stupid.

Who says the Ooni is not the traditional ruler of Yoruba land?

Dullard!

DOptical:
will you keep quiet with your constant gibberish? Ode.

The picture below should give you a brain. And yes, Ooni is the central head!

You're daft.

Why is it that the Alaafin does not bow to the Ooni? If only you have sense, that question would enlighten you. You can't know better than me.

DOptical:
Will you shut up with your constant gibberish?

I would leave you with this picture. Ooni is the central father figure!

Arrogant ignoramus! Who says Oni is not? He sits on the highest stool in Yoruba land abjugated to him by the king as I earlier stated. Go and ask why the Alaafin does not bow to the Ooni.

DOptical:
See tears and wailing at the face of facts. You started the insult by misrepresenting facts while saying gibberish! I deal in fact, not stupidity. If you weren't stupid you would know Oranmiyan was the first ruler of Oyo and his son continued the reign, just like his other sons ruled Bini and Ife. Oranmiyan is the Link while Ooni of Ife is the head and is under no empire. Ooni is the father, even as Oba of Bini always referred to the Ooni as his father.

As I said, Ooni dresses like Obatala who's the first king of Ife and his descendants continued to reign before another Yoruba named man, Oduduwa of Oke ora was also picked by Ifa to become the king thereby signifying the creation of the universe where both Obatala and Oduduwa formed the equal halves of a sphere which created the universe.

I am an Oyo Prince. If you don't understand what I wrote, shut up and get out of my mentions.

DOptical:
Ode. Have you seen the letter of the Oba of Bini to Ife where he called him Oghene, father?

If you had a brain, you would know Obatala and Oduduwa were both the king of Ife. And no, the Ooni dresses like Obatala which means purity & enlightenment. Ife is the home of the Yoruba hence has no empire because it controls both the east and west of the Yoruba. The great great grandchild of Oduduwa, Oranmiyan left for igodomido (a Yoruba named camp) to put order in the place while civilizing it. He left his child as the king of Bini and returned to Ife to become the king. He later left another of his child in Ife and Left for Oyo where he also became the king. Thus Oranmiyan was the link. His son at the central of Ife controls the affair of the central, East and West of the Yoruba while he was under no empire. However the West was controlled by another Oranmiyan's son in Oyo who controls the affair of the West which was under the affair of the Oyo empire. While the East of Yoruba was controlled by another of Oranmiyan's son in Bini. Hence why the Oba of Bini back then was allowed to act anyhow he liked in every Yoruba land. So, Oranmiyan was the link however Ife was the central head of everything and was under no empire hence why he was called Oghene, the father by Oba of Bini. He's the head of everything.

I don't discuss with brainless kids. I only stated facts according as it is written in books. Abusing me and insulting me in order to state your points shows how brainless and untrained you are. Children that lack home training should get off my mentions. I don't reply nonentities.

Danand1:
You better don't let this get to ooni of ife's palace😀😀

He knows it for real. This is true history. Not bear parlour gist.

Danand1:
Infact check the whole oba in Yoruba land, ooni dresses differently from other Yoruba kings, which could literally means there is kinda influence from outside culture, and the closest is Benin.
If the not other kings in Yoruba land should have been dressing as the ooni

The Ooni was not a king but an ifa priest. The original king of ife went on a war against popular advice. Before he left he installed the priest of ife as administrattor in his absence. The king was stopped by the river Niger on his war expedition. Due to shame, he couldn't return back to ife. He turned aside and founded Oyo ilé which now metamorphosed into Oyo Empire. The ife king never returned to ife till he died but he ruled as Alaafin of Oyo in his self exile. Meanwhile the ife priest who was installed as administrator became king and was referred to as Ooni of ife. The Ooni dresses like an ifa priest till today because he is indeed an ifa priest.

This also explains why the Ooni gives up his stool to the king of Benin on a visitation. The king of Benin is Omo n' ọba which means Omo Oba (Prince) in Yoruba land. With the understanding that the Oba of Benin is an ife Prince, the Ifa Priest must honour the prince whenever he visits.

Weretuntun:
I WANT PASTORS AND RELIGIOUS PROFESSORS,TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS ISSUE.
CAN A PERSON THAT SOLD HIS/HER SOUL TO DEVIL INEXCHANGE OF RICHES,MONEY,FAME AND POWER,BE REDEEM BY JESUS CHRIST?...

With Jesus, all souls are redeemable.

That's why Jesus paid the price with His costly blood that is more pricey than any payment hell must have made on a soul.

1 Corinthians 6:20
"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

The price at which Jesus buys is more than the price at which any soul can be sold. Hence, all souls of man are redeemable.

This is why Jesus shed His blood to cover for all scenarios regarding the dilemma faced by the human soul in the hands of Satan. While other religions in their myopic views of the soul's travail only talk of forgiveness. Christ talks of redemption. God does not only forgive, He also redeems, and He redeems everyone by the blood of Jesus.

1 Peter 1:18-20
"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake."

Omu aràn is his hometown. So, attending any burial event in his own town is not out of place. He could attend that of a Muslim cleric too. You don't know the family ties that exist between their extended families.

PeterObi4Presid:
Please, this call for opinion/advise is strictly directed to people in the Lord who have been in my shoes, and who are genuinely on fire for God , not to some random nominal Christians who aren't sure of their standing with God or some argumentator who only get validation from likes. Thanks for understanding.


Now, since I gave my life to God, a lot has changed about my life...tangible radical changes.
One of those changes is in that most times or when I go on fasting spree, I find it hard to combine spiritual exercise and my secular interest that are also important

We all know we have to work to feed. And we also have to explore our interests, but in my case, my fervency for spiritual things almost always takes my mind off other things in such that I can't concentrate on them as I would wish, as spiritual matters takes up my mind the more.
Many times I feel guilty that it sort of makes me procrastinate on personal interest I am working on as I spend my concentration on reading Bible, trying to memorize verses, fasting and praying...And as we also know, fasting takes away strength and inclines one more to spiritual things more than secular personal matters...

How do I strike a balance and still continue to burn for God?
Sincerely, my love for God increases and being fervent brings inner joy and more revelation, but anytime I occupy my mind with my secular pursuit for maybe a week, i notice i feel less connected to God and lose my peace and physical touches of the spirit.....I dont know what i am missing, i truly desire wisdom in this matter....cos i do also have career interest that needs deep attention and full cognition....
I will appreciate sincere reply by true men or sons of God On how to switch between both world and operate effectively in both sides and still maintain concentration

The Lord will continue to strengthen you brother.

First and foremost, always remember that "It is not by power, nor by might, but my Spirit, says the Lord." Always ask for help from the strong Helper before embarking on spiritual exercises. He is your Helper for this reason too. Discuss your weaknesses with Him. You'll be surprised how greatly helped you will be. Do not lean on your own understanding.

Secondly, you need to understand the very purpose of fasting. The major work fasting does in your life is to sharpen your spirit and further enhance your spiritual antenna for receptivity. Your spirit man enjoys strong spiritual signal, always refreshed by fasting. This opens you up to revelations, deeper spiritual understanding and unhindered connectivity with the Heavenlies.

Do not think that fasting forces God to answer prayers or gives you some super powers like many religious folks think. You could enjoy increased power flow and higher spiritual authority as an aftermath of fasting but the very purpose is to gain more spiritual connectivity. Knowing the purpose of fasting can help us set our priorities aright and give us the means to plan our fasting times appropriately.

I have learnt from experience that the best fasting is the one done in absolute seclusion. The Lord Jesus separated Himself to a mountain for 40 days for this reason. While it isn't necessary for anyone to go to a mountain before embarking on a fast, the same principle of individual seclusion still holds true. You might want to lock up yourself in your room to be alone with God without interaction with any human. This means, it's much better and appropriate to plan your fasting for your free days. Personally, I chose Saturdays and Sundays. I can still decide to fast on any other day in seclusion as well since I do not have any human boss who entangles me. While in seclusion, my entire focus is on the fast as I shut the world behind me. I do not bother myself about anything else until I come out from seclusion.

Seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit for the planning of your fast. God deals with us individually. You might decide to plan your lengthy fasts for your holidays or leave periods. This would allow you to concentrate on your spiritual obligations during the fast without being disturbed by secular affairs. Let your wife know your fasting rules - no disturbance or interruption during my seclusion period.

Please, I do not infer that fasting without seclusion does not do any good. Fasting without seclusion delivers its profits as well but fasting in seclusion delivers more benefits.

If you're to fast without seclusion, ask the Holy Ghost to help you in your weaknesses. Tell Him the things you want to do. "Holy Spirit, I want to fast today but I still have many secular affairs to attend to. Help me to maximize this period of my waiting on the Lord without affecting my secular life. I do not want to be negligent of the secular activities that are expected of me." Just talk to Him, and He'll help.

"You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you."

More excuses for FORGERY and LIES.

How do you know that Jesus is okay with you worshiping a WHITE MAN in his place?

Especially after you have been shown he was a BLACK MAN?

IF HE LIVED HERE AS A BLACK MAN, WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE THAT HE IS HAPPY WITH YOU FEELING HIS COLOUR IS INFERIOR AND THUS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH THAT OF A WHITE MAN?

And then you start to worship the white image? Calling it 'Jesus'?

IT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD YOU SAYING THAT ''the colour doesn't matter, but the essence of what he said'' etc etc.

What if HE doesn't see it that way?

AFTER ALL the Bible God is really big on not worshiping 'false images' etc.

He does care about the physical.. It's not all airy-fairy 'spiritual essence', as you claim.

So if you were really a CHRISTIAN, you would respect the way your ''LORD'' looked in real life, and insist he be portrayed as he was, not as your white racist colonisers lied and brainwashed you to believed he looked.

Did you really read that we do not worship Jesus as a human? We do not worship Him as a Black or White. We are not idolaters. If you do not understand, then remain without understanding. I have nothing to discuss with you. You can keep arguing with yourself even after I gave you supportive Scriptures.

If it's a matter of whether a white or black Jesus was the One who came into the world, you may be understood. But when it comes to who we worship, we worship no colour because we do not worship a human being but God.

Expanse2020:
Hypocrite pro max😂😂🤣🤣
Skin color didn't matter after they lied to you

There's no true believer who worships Jesus as a human. That's where the Catholics miss it. You Muslims are very ignorant.

Reflect7:
You are talking absolute RUBBISH.

Why does the POPE pray to the Black Jesus in secret?

Are you more Christian than him?

Why doesn’t he reason like you?

MUMU.

Just admit that you are content to be a white worshiping slave.

You are even ANGRY to learn that Jesus was a black man.

Take your excuses and Stuff em up your slave butthole.

White man worshiper claiming to be worshiping God.

GOD HAS REVEALED TO YOU HOW HE LOOKED. AND YOU ARE REJECTING HIM.

Because you worship the WHITE MAN.

You don’t worship GOD.

We don't worship Jesus by colour. We worship Him in the Spirit. His human colour is immaterial. We do not worship Him as a man but as God, and God is neither black nor white.

If you're worshipping a black or white Jesus, you're not a Christian. You're an idolater just like those Popes who worship images.

2Cor. 5:15
"So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!"

Our acknowledgement of Jesus is not from the human point of view but from the Spirit point of view. A spirit has no colour.

May God give you understanding.

AbuTwins:
Yeah I agree! The Psalms is not God-breathed! Church fathers admitted Psalms with unknown writers into the Bible!

Authors don't have to be known in order for psalms to be God breathed. It isn't a criteria at all. You're ignorant.

I will hand you over to the mods! I no get time!

Tell the mods that you're busy discussing whether or not David wrote psalm 138 on your ka'aba thread but you're afraid of discussing the origin of the ka'aba on your kaaba thread. I understand, the lies regarding the ka'aba are too difficult to defend.

Again. How come Abraham is credited with the building of the ka'aba when he never visited Mecca?
