₦airaland Forum

WesleyanA:
I agree with you. Many Nairalanders are bigots. But of course, the Israelis are "God's Chosen" so whatever they do is justified. whether killing hundreds of palestinian civilians ("by accident" they say) or commiting violence against others. Even though there are many examples in the Bible where God himself punishes israelites for their sins that are almost unforgivable.

If the Jews are "God's chosen people", then these bigots are God's rejects

Perchance could you tell me who you are referring to

So you people think we should start callin timeouts in this bf/gf thing? I don't mind.

KB1:
yes, those who so rudely use the term Akata do refer to ALL of us as Akatas.

No now, not rudely. It's just a word used by Nigerians to describe you people.
White people we call them oyinbo oyinbo.
And we also have the chinkos, and so forth.

busybein:
if pauls opinion was not so important i don't think it should be in d bible

Lol that too. And I don't think God would be very happy with Paul's use of his name in vain.

Jesoul, it is paul's advise? Even though he clearly says "SAYS THE LORD"  

I tire for you o.

JeSoul:
Honey, "associating with" is VERY different from "yoking with". By your standard Jesus was in the wrong because he frequently 'associated' with sinners.
 You're right, it wasn't just marriage alone. But any situation where you 'join' or 'unite' yourself with an unbeliever.

My dear, "associating with" is still a notable form of "bond or unity", which is what you described earlier as "yoking".

busybein:
it wasnt,the members of d church in corinth,were getting associated wt idolaters,and that was why paul gave that scripture,marriage is not found in that context

Thanks.
Moreover, if we look more closely at 2 Corinthians 6 verses 14:17 it states

14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
17 [b]"Therefore come out from them
     and be separate, says the Lord.

Look very well at verse 17 where you are commanded to "come out from them and be separate".  Is this not in contradiction with 1 Corinthians where you are commanded not to divorce him (if you are willing to live with him)? And also in contradiction with Matthew 19:9 where fornication is the allowable grounds for divorce?

JeSoul:
Of course not, it can be in business ventures, collaborations etc . . . But marriage is the tightest yoke 2 people can ever share. If you don't consider marriage a yoke then I don't know what else qualfies.

Of course, because in your opinion marriage is the tightest yoke 2 people can have, it[yoke] should not be applied just as uniformly, and strictly, in our other dealings  

Sweetie, marriage was not under discussion in that specific context that spoke of "yoke" .  That is your own groundnut you dey throway inside, abeg; I was just hoping you can rationalize it.

JeSoul:
Because it says do not YOKE yourself. Yoke means to join, bond, unite etc. . . Duh.

Okay Jesoul, since you want to get technical, are you insinuating that joining, bonding, uniting etc only occur in marriage situations

And I don't think 1 Corinthians can be more explicit than it already is.
The passage clearly tells you that "if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her".

If you need further clarification consult your dictionary.

Verse 14:
For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband.

JeSoul:
Because it says do not YOKE yourself. Yoke means to join, bond, unite etc. . . Duh.

That's saying a lot . . . . DUHHH!

Suga4ya:
I'm not expecting a hello, I just thought we could disperse amicably. Why would you not respond to a farewell email?

We are broken up. For me, the best way to avoid tension is to avoid you at all costs.
But if it bothers you that much, go to his job, call him, bombard his mail box, go to his house and ask. Just don't be shocked if he thinks you are crazy.

I don't see why they don't generalize that passage to everday life, but then want to nitpick it when it comes to bonding and the married life.

You said it was a goodbye email, how come you are still expecting a hello?

it's as simple as i love you. but i don't be cupcaking like that though bro

earTHMama:
It's a pity Nigerian men expect Nigerian women to endure everything but they themselves will not endure anything.

stop lying to our youth.
