Actually, what has happened is that the whole world is out of order. The earth was without form and void and God came and made everything good. But sin brought a curse and withdrew God's preservation. Now all things are in chaos, but we look for a new heaven and new earth. Till then, let God guide you daily.

I've seen nephews that have to be called uncles, what's the big deal or mystery about that. So they must be 28 to 30 before they can correlate as same generation. Also, don't you know that your mother's husband is your father one way or the other? The Jews knew Jesus from nazareth, son of the carpenter. They were told that the carpenter himself is of royal lineage.
You've got free will to get that in your head.lol

Merry Christmas in arrears to you too, and have the best year of your life next year.In the name of Jesus

Egbon mi kunle, lol. I like that name small. King Solomon brought ALL the tithe into the store house. You can be sure he was obedient to the laws of the land, just like Jesus. BTW, hope you sowed that SEED?

It's the sign of the end na. Heaven is not by force. Let him that is unjust be unjust still. But also, let him that is righteous be righteous still. I'm on my way to Heaven, no turning back, no turning back. I'll rather go with the foolishness of the cross. It is more secure/steadfast than the great searchings of men. Everything remains news for them, I know the results already. Glory to God.

Bla bla bla Blai, Are you born again?

'let somebody make some holy ghost crazy noise'.
I'm suprised that there is 'spiritual quality' explanation for that one too. Perilous times

Mazaje, you're still yet to comprehend simple statements. Well, it no longer baffles me. It's like my gmum trying to communicate with my forma 'oyinbo' boss. Even if she used those amplified 'bonnke crusade speakers', he still may not hear, though he heard. A pity. That which is of flesh is flesh, you must be born.again

Great exercise of the mind thus far. But I must say, it's all vanity in the end. Just like the exercise of the body, it leads no where exactly in the end. It has its benefits and fun though, but never lasts. They say experience is a great teacher. Nothing satisfies like serving God in spirit and in truth. God is a Spirit and those that worship Him must do so in spirit, not with great searchings of the mind. The spiritual is above the natural,supernatural

Eheh, atheist and their companions are sharing testimonies of their belief. Omo, this xmas na bomb o! Man is truly a social animal. Dey go still do atheist watchnight service and crusade go follow.

i believe you're expecting this response, so I'll give it anyway. God still has need of you, that's why you're spared in this accident. I'm praying that you'll still serve God to full capacity. Only Jesus can save

Fake Jesus can never save. Only the real Jesus can save

No, lol. I'm the first to say women have not lived up to 1Timothy 2, not you. I see/saw your point though. It's great to hear that you're seeing mine.

No Kunle, you really should relax. 'Give' your tithes, and even outdo yourself by sowing a big seed in one of your anti.churches. You'll bet it will do you a lot of good. Reduce the bile you know.

Sorry ma sister, I'm not giving a further response than I gave. Read through on my little talk with biina. I'll stop there, at least for now.

Kunle, please 'give' your tithes this xmas, make we rest. U no dey tire of moving in circles?

So na mavenbox dey rep her school for quiz. little wonder. Analytical, na your mouth I hear am o! I'll be surprised if mazaje and co take advantage of the 'expo'. Well, my xmas wishes for them though, lol

Wetin be this one mavenbox. You don spoil small of my christmas fun jo. Where is mazaje and co sef?

I say we should present our bodies as a living sacrifice and RENEW our minds by the Word of God, not drawing back because of the misplaced focus of others.
I still believe we should be fair in our judgements and look at every part, not just one part. May God's Spirit glorify Christ.

One of God's plans for you is that you proper and be in health even as your soul prospers(3John 2). So first thing you need to be sure of is if your soul is prospering. Have you gained your soul/ possessed your soul. In other words, is your life safe in God's hands or still in your hands, or someone elses' perhaps devil.
If your soul is prospering, then you're good for step number 2.

Fine biina, so we agree on the literal meaning of the passage. What a relief. But what stops us from obeying, seeing that the doers of the Word are the Blessed from James 1v 25. I believe we can actually obey without making it a focus or sort of dedication.

Now biina, why have I asked for the meanings of shamefacedness and sobriety. I do have a dico, I know the meaning. But my point is that our generation has lost the meaning. The verse itself v9 is lost. We think on other things.
Normally, people would adorn i.e decorate themselves with broided hair, gold, pearls and costly array. It's evident in the world, in society, even amongst us. But v9 clearly says christians should NOT decorate themselves with these things but decorate/adorn themselves with the EXACT opposite shamefacedness(EXTREMELY modest, shy, embarrassed, bashful) and sobriety(serious, plain, NOT bright). Sorry I rarely see this qualities 2day. I do not say 'hey you're going to hell wearing what'. I'm saying we're found wanting in these verses.
The boldness of costly array, gold and pearls has being embraced ahead of sobriety and shamefacedness that are expected to decorate us.

I'll still maintain that I've seen some appearance more spiritual than some carnal praying. Visible obedience to God's Word doesn't necessarily translate to preoccupation of outside, or a growth from outside to inside. I've not suggested that. As important as it is that our hearts/inside be right with God, I still hold that our outside can also be right with God. It doesn't need be a preoccupation. It just takes simple obedience, a work perfected inside and demonstrated outside.

I'm tempted to ask where are the others JeSoul and co. Its funny though. She'd earlier asked. I wouldn't want us going back and forth. I asked JeSoul similar questions. You look into your dictionary, some of these things are explained. i.e shamefacedness and sobriety as opposed to gold, pearls and costly array. The only place where I expect issues is in the area of modesty. Modesty might be argued to be relative, just as giving may be argued to be relative. The arguements are strong, but it should be relative to God's Word as well. It doesn't call for rocket science to know stingy and generous even though giving is relative. You'll know modesty when you see it however relative.
But gold, pearls, shamefacedness, sobriety aren't relative. People just disobey because they want to. Who says praying is spiritual while clothing is physical. The Word of God is spirit and life. I've seen some appearance more spiritual than some carnal praying. God considers the inside and outside.Who am I to fiddle with the outside?

Why come up with the excuse of what our obedience to God's Word doesn't guarantee. Does going to church, or even praying guarantee our living right or getting to heaven? Do we then say, since it doesn't guarantee, then no more prayer no more going to church. I think we obey God's Words because we love Him, not because it makes us look better before God.
