[quote author=Mr_Anony]Sorry but I don't agree with you. I don't believe that as a Christian I should spend my life worrying over what might be "occultic" or not. Since I am a Christian, the power of God that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me. Now why should I be afraid of little demons in handkerchiefs or whatever have you? If a lady wants to wear a trouser, let her wear it there is no sin in her trousers. Men will lust after anything including a woman dressed in a niqab. Women also will lust after men in suits, should men not wear suits? The sin is lust and not the clothing.[/quote]Thank you. So that is the reason I asked him to explain further what he meant before I respond but you seems to have let the cat out of the bag now.lolz |
suggary: Sorry for bumping into your thread,I have been dreaming of playing with children in the dream,they were mine once but other the parents would drop them with me and I would be so happy and play with them most times carrying them on my arms.this dream is very very often.three times a week.Kindly narrate the dream and the settings if possible step by step. You need to explain in a clear details so we can know where the Spirit of God is pointing attention to. I believe the Spirit of God will help us out. Okay. |
God2man, I no understand this kind "Gospel" you dey preach o. First, trouser or skirt or even mini skirt, which one exposes the female more? I am of the opinion that trouser will even do a better cover up that some mini skirt. Second. Are you by any means saying, a child of God carrying the Spirit of God will be contaminated from the outside by what he/she wears? You need to clarify your statement above please. |
Joagbaje: The bible says nothing sbout trouser. if its wrong for a woman to wear trouser then its wrong for a man to wear trouaer also because neither man nor woman wore trouser in bible days. they wore gown and skirt. jesus wore gown and skirt.Trynna imagine how the Lord looks like in His robe,lolz ![]() |
nedostic: The truth remains that most of the so called men of God are too materialistic in thoughts and actions. Some of these 'MOG' are interested in creating self-styled images for themselves and nothing more.You are very RIGHT my brother. There is nothing like that in the word of God. Many times I see things like (Dr.) so so and so. I see things like Pastor(Dr); Rev. (Dr.); Pastor (Mrs) XXXX Ph.d and many more. All these are complete rubbish. I don't understand what they want to showcase, the worldly achievement or the called gift of ministry or BOTH. |
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:3 Niv This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1 Jn. 5:14 Niv I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." Luke 6:47-49 Niv I believe acting the word of God in Faith is the Key with the right motives according to God's will at a given time. "Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 Niv |
Great words and nice blog. Keep doing the good works. God is your strength. |
It is NOT a SIN. However, God sees the heart. If you dress for "immoral" purpose in your heart. That is between you and God who sees the heart. Outside of that, it is NOT a sin. |

logicboy: Logic happened to meIf these are the reasons you became Atheist, then am very sorry. You are NEVER rooted, grounded and firm in the word of God. This is what I just explained in this thread. You are following the "letter" of the word. I can explain all those verses to you if you care but I might be slow to that because I don't have much time anymore today. Okay. |
ijawkid: Good exegesis.....Thanks Padi mi, Oga mi ati brother mi. I will like to suggest few study aids if you guys don't mind. They have helped me in the past BUT they should be used with caution. That is, we should not just swallow "everything" from a study aid UNTIL proven. For the Bible says, "prove all things and hold on to that which is good". I will specify the materials we need to use with cause and the reason why. I suggest the following study materials and aids: STUDY BIBLES HCSB Study Bible NLT Study Bible Archaeological Study Bible Faith, Family and Freedom Study Bible NASB Study Bible Apologetics Study Bible (Good study bible that defends the faith and prove the text) NKJV Study Bible NKJV Chronological Study Bible ESV MacArthur Study bible NIV Study Bible ESV Study Bible Dake's Annotated Reference Study Bible (This Study bible is very expository BUT MUST be used with CAUTION because it presents JUST ONE AUTHOR'S IDEA but I must confess, it allows you to read wide and search deeper, very Good and helpful) STUDY AIDS (DICTIONARIES) Nelson's New illustrated Bible dictionary Dictionary of Bible Places and Bible names Holman's illustrated Bible dictionary Vine's Complete expository dictionary Complete Word Study Pack, 4 Volumes By Spiros Zodhiates; Warren Baker and Eugene Carpenter. Hebrew/Greek Key STUDY AIDS (CONCORDANCE) Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, The: 21st Century Edition by: James Strong, John R. Kohlenberger III and James A. Swanson OR Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Updated Edition KJV. STUDY AIDS (ONLINE NUMEROUS AND DIFFERENT BIBLE TRANSLATIONS) http://www.blueletterbible.org/index.cfm http://www.biblegateway.com/ http://biblos.com/ http://www.ccel.org/ http://www.intothyword.org/ They are ALL used for deeper study and to get the original meaning/beauty of the Hebrew and Greek text. For instance, And there went great multitudes with him: and he (Jesus) turned, and said unto them, If any [man] come to me, and [size=15pt]hate[/size] not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:25-26 Kjv Wait a minute! Is Jesus telling us to "hate" in order to follow him? You must be kidding. We need to get the meaning to that text as used in the context and then, the scriptures come alive. Hence, if we consult our study aid such as the concordance, it will tell us the meaning of that word, "hate" as used in that context. Jesus is NOT telling us to "hate" in order to be his disciples but the meaning explains itself. Anyone who can afford ALL or MOST of these study aids will do a deeper and better study. Anyone can add to my suggestions for the benefit of others. As for me, I can spend as much on the word of God even if it will take me to go hungry for a while. Man shall not live by bread (natural food) alone but by every word of God. God bless y'all. |
buzugee: i see Ijawkid has no comment on Goshens post. Alright so i guess the final answer is EUNUCH. she was all over him because her man was a dayum EUNUCH . Hey, Be careful mehn. It's not a joking matter o. |
logicboy: [size=20pt]I was a believer for 22 years!!![/size]So what happened to you? |
ijawkid: For leisure times trousers aint bad for ladies....GBAM.....E don happen be that o but whatever you can't preach everywhere, anywhere, anytime is NOT THE GOSPEL. I support modesty in dressing though. |
buzugee: brother there you go making assumptions and assertions and whatnot. who told you i was a religious person ? i am the least religious person you ever met. just cuz i like reading and discussing the bible all of a sudden i am religious ? if i enjoy reading and discussing cookery books does that make me a chef ? if i enjoy reading and discussing erotic novels does that make me a porn star ? ![]() |
logicboy: You people scare me. Do you know the meaning of "occult"?Dude, you are NOT a believer in God and Christ. You cannot be reading the bible with a veiled mind and expect anything good out of it. Get yourself life in God and stop all this your "logic" lifestyle. |
TheShopKeeper: Potiphar this name, in Egyptian, seems to mean "he who the sun god gives" He is an officer, which literally means a eunuch, however we understand that Potiphar was married (it is a known fact that some eunuchs are physically castrated and were married). He also was the captain of the bodyguard (literal meaning, ‘slaughterer’ or ‘butcher’). This position seems to be a military one, very important and influential.A very brilliant piece I must confess. I was typing my comment when you sent in yours. The highlighted are very much in line with what I shared. Keep digging deeper and unveiling the hidden truth. God bless you. |
First, I will like us to know that Joseph is a type and shadow of Christ. A type is a preordained representation wherein certain persons, events, and institutions of the OT WHEREIN A TIMELY REVELATION IS CONCEALED for corresponding persons, events, and institutions of the NT. Types are pictures or object lessons by which God has taught His redemptive plan. They are a shadow of things to come, NOT the very image of those things (Col. 2:17; Heb. 8:5; 10:1). The Mosaic system, for example, was a kind of kindergarten in which God's people were trained in divine things and taught to look forward to the REALITIES of things yet to come. To demonstrate this types and shadows, just one of the numerous aspect of how Christ fulfilled the type and shadows of Joseph; let's take a look at this: Of Joseph is it said in Gen. 45:7, And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. kjv God sent me ahead of you to make sure that you would have descendants on the earth and to save your lives in an amazing way. GWT But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. Niv God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors. NLT And of Christ it is said in Gal 4:4-5, But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem [size=15pt]those[/size] under law, that [size=15pt]we[/size] might receive the full rights of sons.(Niv) There are TWO messages in this thread. 1, Joseph as the type and shadow of Christ. 2, Joseph and Potiphar's wife itself as an event. Am not going too deep on Joseph as the type of Christ because Christ already fulfilled that as I have shared above but the event of Potiphar's wife and Joseph and use it to encourage the people of God in what the Spirit of God wants to say to the body of Christ. Like buzugee said, God ordered the steps of Joseph to the house of Potiphar so that He (God) can manifest his plan in Joseph's life. Why will God do that? There is more to Potiphar and his wife that God had to choose to send Joseph to that particular house and not another place. It is not a co-incidence. God could have sent Joseph to another man's house but the truth revealed is that, this Potiphar's house is where the most "heat of the temptation is hidden" and that is why God chose that house for Joseph. How do I mean? Potiphar's wife is one of the so called desperate house wives of the Bible desperately in need of se.x and marital benefits because she had being "deprived" of se.x and her marital benefits simply because her husband CANNOT give it to her. Goshen360, this is pure heresy and child's play! Hold on and read till the end before you crucify me. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard. Gen.37:36 kjv. One of things the Spirit of God wants me to pass across is that, WHENEVER YOU START TO READ A DESCRIPTION ABOUT A PERSON OR ANYTHING IN THE WORD OF GOD, THERE IS MORE OR HIDDEN TRUTH IN SUCH PERSON OR THING. This is true of the description and details given about Potiphar. The further description is NOT just information, it is the very "KEY" to understanding and unfolding the persistent and insistent of Potiphar's wife to have an affairs with Joseph. Potiphar name means "devoted to the sun (god)". It was a name connected with the Egyptian (a type of the world) religious system. The Bible went further to say, he was "an OFFICER of Pharoah". The word, "officer" IN THE EGYPTIAN SYSTEM is from the Hebrew word, "c[/b]ariy[b]c or s[/b]ariy[b]s" which means to castrate; an eunuch; valet of female's apartments and thus a minister of state; chamberlain. The term "eunuch" comes from the common custom and practice of placing "castrated" males in certain key government positions to ensure they would be wholly devoted to their king as they served in important positions in a king's court. In the common custom practices, many eunuchs had wives and even harems where they kept many women BUT THEY BORE NO CHILDREN. This explains the NEEDS, EMPTINESS, DESIRE FOR HUMAN SATISFACTION AND FULFILLMENT ON THE PART OF POTIPHAR'S WIFE but to Joseph, it means a test to faithfulness which he must pass the test unto God. So also in fulfilling the type and shadows of Joseph, Christ MUST pass his test and temptation unto God. And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her. And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the house there within. And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. Gen. 39:10-12. So we see clearly the deeper reason why the temptation to Joseph was very intense. Should it have been that Potiphar is NOT the type of man we just discovered him to be, I believe the temptation will NOT be so called "day by day" pressure from the wife of Potiphar. Let's pause and ask, Why will a woman be demanding se.x and marital benefits from a slave "day by day" if she at least get it from her husband once of those "day by day"? At least, if she gets it once of those "day by day", her tension will be reduced and emotion fulfilled but it is obvious something is wrong somewhere. We can spread the application of this message into 1001 ways in our lives. Many of us Christians because of NEEDS see corruptions as an "open opportunities" to get what we want in life. Yes, we are in NEED and DARE DESPERATION OF SOMETHING AND WE NEED IT NOW, (so to speak) but how do we look for it or how do we get it? This is just one of the many applications. The Second truth I believe the Spirit of God wants me to share with God's people is, the need for "Holy Spirit" and "Study Aid" in doing an intensive study of the word of God. I would probably have seen this hidden truth should the Holy Spirit not have shown me and also, if I had not used some help from study aid to reveal the meaning of the name Potiphar and his position as an "officer of Pharaoh". Hence, I encourage us to "study", not just "read" the word with the help of the Holy Spirit and also make use of many study aids to help search deeper or hidden truth of the word of God. The text comes alive when we do that for the "letter kills but the Spirit gives life" 2 Cor. 3:6. Many of us just "read" the word and we don't really get much or anything out of it. The word of God is deeper than just the text we read. That is why one of the greatest expositor of the word of God, Apostle Paul said, "Study" (not just read) to show yourself approved unto God. I have many study aids to suggest to us if we don't mind (at a request though) that had helped me over the years. I strongly believe they will be of great help. God bless y'all. |
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. Deut. 22:5 kjv "A woman must not put on men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this is detestable in the sight of the LORD your God. (NLT) For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace. Gal. 5:4 NLT Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Kjv Those of you who try to earn God's approval by obeying his laws have been cut off from Christ. You have fallen out of God's favor. (GWT) There are three groups the bible was written to namely: The Israelites. The Gentiles and The Church. (1 Cor. 10:32; Gal. 2:9). One thing we need to understand is that, the law (of Moses) was given to serve as a schoolmaster to train the "Israelites" in the way of obedience to God. They CANNOT fulfill the "whole" law, hence Christ did. The the Gentiles and the Church NEVER had the law and the law was NEVER written to the Gentiles and the Church in the first place. Why are we even trying to keep the law that Christ ALREADY fulfilled. That dispensation of law has past and I, as the body of Christ - the Church wasn't even under the law and was never given the law except the new law of Christ which is the "law of the Spirit" in Christ Jesus. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Romans 2:14 kjv (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, (Niv) So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. Gal. 3: 24-25 Niv Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal. 3:24-25 Kjv |
buzugee: BESIDES JOSEPH BEING DESCRIBED AS A RAVISHING AND HANDSOME HUNK ?You are driving the right way little by little BUT you NO dey look road where you dey drive. E be like say when you dey drive, you too dey look outside. . Anyway, you almost hit it but side look too much for you. ![]() |
ijawkid: I haven't noticed or payed much attention to that story..You and your joke, I know say you or your friend (I no mention name oo) must crack this kind joke sha,lolz . I expected this kind of joke from you or your friend. yeyekid ![]() |
@ LoJ, In response to your comment at me. You maybe right in the way you look at it because we all have different views to certain matter. I don't discredit you for that. However, you have made some important point in your comment BUT God is my witness, I act as the Spirit of God deals with me. There is something the Spirit of God wants me to use the thread by wisdom to teach and that is, to teach and encourage God's people THE IMPORTANCE OF "HOLY SPIRIT" AND USE OF WORD STUDY AID in studying the word of God. Freely I have received and NEVER will I take Glory for any revelation the Lord revealed to me. Recently, the Spirit of God said to me and I said it in one of the threads here that, THERE IS UNTAPPED HIDDEN TRUTH, REVELATION AND MESSAGES CONCEALED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT OF WHICH THE REALITY AND SUBSTANCE ARE NOW REVEALED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Furthermore, the Spirit of God said to me, "This is the secret by which I revealed to the Apostles of Old especially, Paul. To be able to do deep exposition of the word and unfold the hidden truth of ancient OT as it is fulfilled in the NT is to spend time with me (Holy Spirit) and search out the deep thing using all avenues available to you". The Spirit of God told me this long ago to develop my teaching grace/gift and I have been doing it and found it to be very true. This thread is one of them and now, the Spirit of God wants me to encourage others in the body of Christ on this religious session to begin to do same if they will be willing. |
Have you ever thought or wondered why Potiphar's wife was so insistent and persistent on having an affair with Joseph? Well, I will like the Bible teachers on this board to explore and make attempt to reveal this hidden truth even though I found the key to this timely truth and mystery. However, this thread might not be long before we unfold the mystery depending on how our Bible teachers on this board hit the point and unlock the truth. |
ajufinz: Ok!This is the Interpretation to your dream: One of the numerous applications of mountain in the word of God is great victory or accomplishment. The ark of Noah "RESTED" on the "mountain" of Ararat (Gen. 8:4). In your dream, you saw yourself on a mountain which signifies a great victory or a future accomplishment coming your way. To be on the mountain top continuously without sliding down like in this case of your dream is to stay on the mountain by FAITH because it takes Faith to get to a mountain top and it takes faith to stay there (Matt. 17:20) and also remember it is NOT your power and human effort that got you to that mountain top, that the victory or accomplishment. The "sliding down" situation that is scary means situations and events that will arise and wants to bring you down from the mountain top. Staying on the mountain top can be difficult but also, you need the FAITH of the Son of God to stay atop the mountain. You shall attain a victory or accomplishment amidst your friends that will set a kingdom for you. But remember the Lord your God for it is He that gives you power to get wealth and have faith to sustain the mountain top so you don't slide down in no time. Your dream speaks of future and also warning. Good luck. |
haibe: no! Yahweh isnt the name of the fada only but the Godhead in general, o.k if the father is the only1 bearing yahweh, what does the son and spirit bear? And ijawkid's argument is that the son is lesser than the fada and that they are different in essence. He is sayin Jesus is a lesser god and not God and i see u even tink its the fada only that bears yahweh, well just ansa my questn above. P.s Jesus only started bearing that name when he came in flesh.Now I see where all the confusion is coming from. You just said Yahweh is NOT the name of the Father only. I believe otherwise that the Father alone bears Yahweh as a personal name in the Godhead. Jesus and the Holy Spirit also has MANY NAMES aside being called Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. I can pull many names of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit each. This is where I "think" the confusion is coming from. You might need to explain yourself HOW ALL THE THREE PERSON IN THE GODHEAD INCLUDING THE HOLY SPIRIT BEARS YAHWEH. I await your explanation on that please. |
^ Ijawkid, I don't use bb o. Na htc me dey deal with here. Anyway, you can hit me on yahoo msger so we can chat. Same id on Nairaland on yahoo, goshen360@yahoo.co.uk. |
haibe: D̶̲̅σ you also believe Jesus is a god and not God?, how can Jesus be a god, that makes it two different gods and. God said he is one. Its you people that make them call christians polytheistsMany times on this thread, I have made my stand very clear. I DO NOT believe Jesus is god, I believe Jesus is God. I believe in Trinity. I "think" we have hard time here the way some of you are arguing the matter. What Ijawkid is arguing here is Jesus the same as Yahweh, I mean the father? If Jesus is same as Yahweh, then we are NOT talking about Trinity, we are talking about Twonity, Isn't it? |
OLAADEGBU: Are you aware that being divine different from Deity? Do you also agree with him that Jesus is a God?Why are you guys like coming on me. When I made that statement, Ijawkid said he agreed Jesus is divine and God. Hence, I made the statement. What we are saying here is that some people here are saying Jesus is the same person of the Trinity Yahweh. They are saying, Jesus is the same as Yahweh. Besides, I have told you times without number, I believe in Trinity. I believe Jesus is God, The Father is God and the Holy Spirit is God. I have said this times without number even on your own thread in some places in the past. What we are saying here is Is Jesus the same person in the Trinity referred to as the Father? This is what some people are interpreting the Trinity to mean. |
Kindly narrate the dream step by step in a simple language for me to understand. I believe I can help by the Spirit of God concerning the interpretation. Okay. |
Person wey wan backslide wan backslide. No controversy, Jesus is Lord! |
