LordReed: Facts may seem like jokes to you but it's allowed. However the dissonance of believing a god created you naked but wants you to wear clothes of a particular sort is funny as heck. [s]Especially for you folk who claim that unnatural things are against your god, I am yet to see a tree that has clothes as fruit or where you dig it up from[/s]. LoLz.
You missed the vital part, the same Bible emphatically says to dress up.
LordReed: Abi o! It's funny how those who believe a god created us naked are so stuck up on dressing.
Because the same Bible emphatically says to dress up. What's funny about that? Isn't it funnier relating humans to chimpanzees and saying all the earth formation jokes?
LordReed: It means you are harbouring sexual attraction for your mother. It is somewhat natural for young boys to be sexually attracted to their mothers but most grow out of it once they start interacting with their female peers. If you are older than 16 and still having sexual attraction for your mum then you need to do something quick to help yourself out of that.
Ehinjuola: Hello NLanders, I got caught up with something on my neck in my neighboood recently.
There's this woman (A) who bought a sewing machine from one woman (B) 9 years ago, suddenly woman B just came from nowhere to come and claim the sewing machine that she sold years back that she only use the machine as a collateral from woman A that she didn't sell it for her.
Now the issue is Woman A has sold the sewing Machine and also insisted that if truly woman's (B) use it as collateral for how many years now she would wish if Woman B paid her back with the interest on the money which the money is way much more than money for 100 sewing machines.
Now questions is, how will I go abt it cause I happened to be one of the landlords in my area( I guess I am the youngest) and we are called to come and judge over the matter. 1. Woman's A doesn't posses the receipt of the sewing machine and as already sold the sewing machine 2. Woman's B want the machine at any cost claiming she has the receipt with her and she will use it against woman's A in court ( If the judgement didn't suite her taste in landlord meeting)
Note: They've gone to police station around early February which they've told woman's A abt the important of receipt and also let it known to woman's B that collateral shouldn't be more than a year and after that the person you borrow something from might as well claim the ownership what you use as collateral (Don't know maybe there's any law backing it though)
Abeg let it gain more audience by pushing it to front page thanks.
Na poverty cause all these one. Fighting and going to court because of sewing machine of 9years ago for that matter. Can she even competently prove that she gave out sewing machine as collateral? Any written documents or they are both just frustrated and looking for ways to vent.
NoToPile: Well 52k with 2 kids - feeding, paying houserent, school fees and all other things is not a joke, it's not enough simple. She will barely get by.
Just food stuff for the kids will gulp a substantial amount of that money. Food is astronomically expensive now. So what should she cut down, food for the family, house rent or school fees?
Just saying anyway, I hope OP gets help.
Anyway OP it's expected your MIL will think you are the one not allowing their son to live up to his responsibilities to them, if you ask me that's least of your worries, that's how some I laws are. if you explain to her and she doesn't listen just ignore her when she starts.
Your major aim now is to ensure you and your children get by and a bit comfortable at least till your husband's feet is stable enough to send chop money.
The minimum wage in Nigeria is 30,000. There are many private organisations that pay much less. There are many families being owed salaries for months both by government and private companies. Some of these families are more than 3 in number and they have not died. OF COURSE i know and agree that it is not enough but it is the reality of the condition. You should not spend or borrow above your limits. This is financial wisdom 101. Even people who earn more don't have debts of 700k, this is definitely trying to live above your means. She can cut down house rent and school fees by changing accomodation and school. No one's destiny is tied to a particular house or school. Tough times don't last but tough people do. She has to be tough and disciplined on feeding too. Unfortunately, they can't eat the same things they were eating before. Either find cheaper or less for the mean time.
LordReed: I was a Christian longer than you have been alive. LoLz.
Lol, that one no really work for Christianity. You can be young in the faith like Paul and be more useful for God and to God than older eldest believers.
You're obviously spending beyond your means, that's the chief pressure here. Cut down on spendings. Live and survive on 52k per month, it is possible. Live joyfully and take that weight off your shoulders.
LordReed: Have you not pursued me to Business section to talk about your Jewish mythology? I am not the only one who commented but you picked my comment because of your stalking. My comment has nothing to do with your Jewish mythology but you forced it into the conversation because that is your goal for stalking me. LoLz.
i don't need to pursue you my dear Reed, your posts simply appear on my Following. It's the beauty of technology. What is more "beautiful" is that God doesn't have to pursue anybody to hell fire, they go there of their own accord. Are you not awestruck by Musk's wealth?
LordReed: Tomorrow you will say you are not stalking me. Wetin consign your Jewish mythology inside this matter now? LoLz.
i have attached a screenshot for the meaning of stalking that you feigned knowing. Which one of them describes responding to a post? Every member of the forum is free to respond/reply to posts on the forum as he so desires. You are wowed by money and you're reminded that it doesn't pass one life.
Krak: This is crude and shallow thinking devoid of any wisdom. How then do you expect me to accept this kind of religion? No wonder Christians and Muslims like to dominate other religion by force, they even go as far as labeling normal natural things as evil. Crude!
Ken4Christ: It is still called disruption. It does not matter if he is the main sponsor. This is what he should have insisted before tha wedding reception began. He just spoiled her daughter's day.
Besides, playing Christian music will not make those present to become Christians. There are better ways to communicate the gospel.
If he has truly raised his daughter the Christian way, she should have known that her father does not tolerate secular music. And her husband should have also known the kind of in-law he has.
Even our Lord Jesus converted water to wine in a wedding feast.
I believe this man will also insist there must not be any alcoholic drink in the reception.
I don't subscribe to Christians playing secular music or dancing to it as a norm. But I believe that there are decent secular music that may not sound immoral or vulgar for a Christian to dance to on such occasion.
i think rather that the newly wed spoilt the event. The day belongs to no one but God, it is not daughter or father or son's day. Playing devilish music does not communicate the gospel either or add any blessings or joy to the marriage, so why play it? Why should the parents be subjected to hearing craziness by force because they are in their own children's reception? Jesus' miracle at Cana has nothing to do with this, it glorified God, this does not.
NNTR: I am sure you know Apostle Peter, the author of the quoted 1 Peter 4:16 and other early believers, never called, addressed or greeted any believer as Christian
Were they christians? YES. i don't know if they NEVER called, addressed or greeted any believer as Christian. i do know that Peter was addressing christians in the passage quoted.
The point isnt about hell fire, so stop deviating. It is about the pejorative Christian nickname invented by the blasphemous people of Antioch
Grammar is pointless if that is your point.
Being addressed as nigga and being addressed as the derogatory and rude N word, are too different things (i.e. chalk and cheese, like comparing apples with oranges)
There must be a reason why you arent comfortable with using the derogatory and rude N word, proper, for yourself
In this case, i do not know the N word you refer to then.
Of course, its childish things to be incorrigible and ignorant. The people of Antioch didnt invent the Christian nickname out of the goodness of their heart, nor did so, to the glory of God, the same way, the derogatory and rude N word wasnt used and coined out of the kindness and goodness of the white supremacists hearts
Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.
i am not ashamed to be a Christian or to be called or addressed as one. You are free to like or dislike being called anything but no need "correcting" others from calling themselves so.
Beetunez44: There is no reference in the Bible where Love is called a Gift (if there is any please tell me).
The chapter you quoted too said nothing about love being a gift.
Kindly explain
It is the best gift that we are told to covet earnestly in 1Corinthians 12. Like i said, i understand your point that it is not one of what we commonly call the 9 gifts of the Spirit but among the Fruit of the Spirit. The Fruit of the the Spirit are themselves gifts from God.
Xtfield: The father does not have to be at the reception. As a Christian, marriage ceremony ends at the church or registry.
Wonderful. The couple's parents should not be at the reception of their children's wedding. This is preposterous. Where did Christian number 1 Jesus turn water into wine?
okoroemeka: i think he Is called stupid because he belittled the couple by displaying such childish action,as a father he should have discussed such premeditated action with his in-law before not take them by surprise,he is dumb because he even thought about something like that,thank God I didn't grow up under an obvious sadistic and superstitious father.
Or the couple belittled their parents. Did they not know that the most important guests of the event did not like such music? How much did the girls in red and the DJ contribute to the reception or wedding ceremony?
The entrance of newlyweds into their reception party in Umuahia, Abia State, on Saturday, was disrupted after the father of the groom demanded that only Christian music must be played.
The MC, Freedom MC, shared video from the event on his Instagram page.
The disruption is from the DJ. He/she is the stranger in the party. Who knows maybe it's the groom's father that bankrolled the wedding and the reception, you are now saying he disrupted as if he's a total stranger. Do you know how many of his influential friends are in the reception and how much they will give the groom and his bride? Abi you think it's those girls in red following the couple that rented the reception venue or bought cow?
vikinatius: We keep complaining of bad leaders. At the same time, we complain if a pastor involve in politics. I think clerics should be welcomed into top political positions because through them, God will be pleased to save our nation.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS MATTER?
A "called" pastor to pick another call? No. An administrative pastor can be a politician, though any Christian in politics is likely to get his hands soiled. It's the way it is. There are true Christians in government all over the world though.

Agugbadin: How do you identify them, all the Christian church in Nigeria are Bible believing church but bad things still happens, jealous,gossip, repraoch, mockery, power tussle, hatred to mention but a few. Even COZA and Cele are Bivle believing.
Nope, saying something is different from being something. Does the church believe all the books of the Bible as God's Word? Do they believe that believers should be saints/perfect like the Bible says? Do they believe in how the Bible says to live, dress, work, pray, worship etc? That's the meaning of Bible believing.
1Pe 4:16 KJV Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Nobody goes to hell fire for being a Christian or calling herself a Christian. BTW, i am a black nigga Nigerian Christian. Let's leave all these childish things of my name is Peace, Love, Glory, Jesus, OluwaABC and still the worst people ever.
