This is not the 100 percent truth, read your bibles and ask The Holy Spirit to show you the truth in understanding. I will do the same.

I am prone to errors too.


okay, then there is no issue yes, i could err and go my own way so its good to correct me, praise God.

I dont feel condemned. And if i am wrong please God forgive me and help to correct myself.

What i was saying is, Adam and Eve were naked and they were not ashamed, now i have heard someone say, the glory of God was their clothing, not sure about that, but everything God has made is good, Men plaiting their hair is not wrong, if the people do not see it as wrong and if it does not lead them to sin. This is where human corrupted perception can corrupt what is good. And if its a weakness then they should not do such things. I say this based on the regulations of eating meat and how Paul explained human weaknesses.

I have seen people with tattoos become the best Christians or more Christlike than those who like to present an outward form of godliness, now is presentation wrong, no, what i mean is, its the inward part that counts and its from the mind that sin originates and takes form. So it is not the tattoo or no tattoo that sanctifies, its not the plaiting or non plaiting of hair that counts, its the understanding and the light of the mind. Which Christ is the light of our mind and we are renewed daily. I dont know if i correctly stated it

So if we are bothered by all this regulations, we may be falling back to the laws and may become trapped by the power of Sin


That is why you see people who are religious pretend to be godly, they go around Judging others, except they dont take the wood from their eyes, and then they want to impress others, and then they go around judging other's without showing mercy. They always fight and cause quarrels.

They forget what counts, love God with your whole being and be like your Father in heaven, and believe in the one he sent.

IF we love God, then we will love our brothers and sisters and every human being.

Are you without sin, if you are then you are right to condemn, even what you do not know.

What did i say exactly to warrant such condemnation.



Remember the story of the servant with a great debt, he was forgiven, yet he will not forgive his fellow servant of his own debt. Remember what happened to that unforgiving servant. I hope you will understand.

A man Plaiting his hair is not wrong Biblically. Samson plaited his hair into seven locks. Other Nazerites left their hair to grow long and so it is reasonable to assume they plaited their hair, at least periodically. Some nazerites in the Bible includes
Samuel the prophet and
John the baptist.
Some others made a vow and a requires demands that you leave your hair uncut until

Waltiro:
Even the Bible has been edited so many times with lots of things shredded as it's being translated from centuries back.

I doubt if Jesus was on low cut, and his disciples. Although catholic popes don't keep hair….could be because they’re old men. I'm not looking to argue with anyone, it's just a simple reasoning.

There's time for everything, when we’re all going bald, no one will advise to keep a clean shave. Just as nature takes place.

Judging others could be a sin, no one is perfect except God.

Move on with life, and work together in love with our various flaws to achieving a greater good.

How is plaiting hair effeminate?

And if you consider plaiting hair by black men to be effeminate, then it means growing of long hair by white men is also effeminate, yet those same white men grew long hair in the Bible, including Jesus.

Stop trying to twist Bible scriptures just so they can suit your own scenario.. What you're doing is demonizing the black race, which is what the white race wanted from the beginning when they introduced Christianity to Africans.

Freeko4:
The question of whether a genuine Christian guy should plait his hair is a matter of personal interpretation and cultural context. Different Christian denominations and individuals may have varying beliefs and practices regarding appearance and grooming.

In many Christian communities, appearance is seen as a matter of personal conviction and not a strict religious requirement. Some may argue that one's hairstyle does not define their faith or ability to preach the Gospel, while others may hold conservative views on grooming.

Ultimately, the decision to plait one's hair or choose a particular hairstyle should be based on individual beliefs, personal conviction, and the cultural norms of their specific Christian community. It's important to remember that Christianity encompasses a wide range of interpretations and practices, and there is no universally correct answer to this question.

African Men plaiting their hair in the past was not seen as effeminate, so it was not a sin, but now that the people see it as effeminate, then it could or has now become sin. Out of the mind comes sin, not what is on the outside.

Adam and eve were naked and were okay, but when they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, they were ashamed of their unclothedness.

I dont see it as sin, but since the people in my culture see it as sin, then i should not do it. Especially if i claim to be a Christian, but if i was in the west i could plait my hair provided the people and my mind do not see it as a sin.

If any action or lifestyle will cause us to sin, or is our weakness then we should not do it.

Samantha124:
Where in the Bible does it states that plaiting hair is a sin?

I salute the maturity of the OPM pastor. Now I'm beginning to fear for these boys. I hope they won't get distracted and end-up engaging in criminal activities to survive coz they're beginning to sound unserious. Last thing I want to hear is any of them getting arrested and deported for committing a crime. I wish them all the best regardless.

I want to believe this the cause because one day the woman approached me and said I should make the cream I'm using for her saying she wants her color to come out. I was shocked cos I felt she's dark and don't know which color she wants to come out again. Or is it because the man is always jokingly calling me girlfriend... I don't know but I suspected she was feeling less attractive or what? Hmmm....

The same office of the first lady was occupied by our previous First Ladies.

So, what's so different about Remi Tinubu and the same First Lady's office?


What?

Is she supposed to sit someplace else or do they need to build another office for her?
