Bidam: Simple, we are in love is a wordly use that leads to fornication and adultery. Bible said we should flee it.( 1 cor 6:18) our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are BOUGHT at a PRICE, so has Christians we are first and foremost married to Jesus, we should honour God first with our own bodies before any other thing.

The rate and which sex is glamourise and seen as normal these days is frightening..Even some teachers on this forum had advocated some scriptural connotation claiming premarital sex is not a sin.

Paul had made it clear that it is GOOD for a man NOT to marry( 1 cor 7:2). But that doesnt mean folks shouldnt marry. You have to discern by the Spirit what God means.. I know many people marry for the PRESSURE of sex and that is what paul is preaching against here. If you can't control your body by the Spirit of God so that you can TANK up scriptures in your heart and wait for God's right timing for marriage, which is better. Then seek to stay single and WAIT UPON THE LORD. Marriage is ordained and instituted by God.

So many has misinterpreted the 1 cor7 verses like the catholics who said rev fathers should NOT marry and many pentecostals who insist young people should rush into marriage to avoid fornications.

It is far better to wait upon the Lord concerning marriage than to marry the wrong person for flimsy reason of sexual immorality and end up in trouble. Most cases of divorce is as a result of wrong marriages..Good morning sir.

debosky: You do not understand my simple point - Ola is picking and choosing what verses he converts into 'principles' - can you give me one good reason why tithing as described in Malachi under the law is any different from wave and heave offering? Why is tithing of Malachi more 'deserving' of being a principle than wave and heave offering?

If being 'good' is the only requirement for being a principle, what is 'bad' about wearing single material fabric or staying out of the temple during monthly flow provided you're not doing it for 'justification'?

If you simply said it is good to do x and y, that is different from saying it's a principle. If you can't see that distinction then don't bother - you don't understand where I'm coming from.

debosky: Sir, I have the foundational truth which is why no amount of 'Malachi principle' can confuse me.

My point is very much established and wasn't against tithing in its basic form - 10%. However if one wants to convert a specific commandment in Malachi specific to a temple and call it a 'principle' then that is plain copying to me.

I haven't spoken about justification at all here so you should be able to deduce that it isn't the bone of contention here. No point to repeat what is not being contested.

Is wearing single fabric clothes/staying out to the temple during monthly flow also 'good works'? After all they are in the OT for our 'learning'.

Israel5: stop thinking like a poor pessimist. if it is because of 4k, drop ur account number. i see nothing wrong with this move. look through my eyes pal

kaysy: 1) You don;t have to travel to your school for mobilization after getting call up letter, you should proceed straight to camp
2) You should be able to round off clearance 1month after graduation except u'r not serious with the clearance issue
3) If your school is advanced and technologically inclined, there is no point traveling to collect statement of result, you should be able to print it online from your school portal.

Finally The N4,000 is optional for only those willing to reprint their call up letters in the case of loss/theft/damaged one.

kaysy: [size=15pt]What is this one talking about, i don't think you understand What all this is all about[/size]

WinsomeX: And I explained to you what led to the question.

So, which one is it: all or a selects few are MOG?

WinsomeX: ^^^
I can understand your referral to your Matthew 23 exegesis but should we not be increasing in knowledge rather depending on former writing that do not address present questions adequately?

The thread reads: who is a man of God? The OP asks: is everyone a man of God or a select few?
You admit in your first posts that everyone is not a man of God but you find it difficult to agree to the implication of that statement which is that if all Christians are not men of God, then only a select few are.

To shed some light on your prevarications, I ask what you understand by Christ statement in Matthew 23:8, you refer me to a stale discuss that is not relevant here.

It is either one of the two: is either we are all men of God, agreed, with varying degrees of maturity; or only a select few are: a position that stands in contrast to Jesus' statement in Matthew 23.
What exactly is your position?

Vin14: No,please read it again KJV and older accurate translations say that the hair is given the woman FOR a covering. You are saying it is given her AS a covering.Do not contradict and twist yourself.

Vin14: Yes,i said that and i never denied it.What i is said is that , i actually meant it as "for" as in the original accurate versions like KJV.So it becomes clear that you are accusing vainly by twisting my subsequent correction of "as" as "for".
So it becomes clear that you only want to accuse vainly and try to win the argument regardless of the real merit of your argument.So i say again, stop trying to twist the eternal scriptures for your selfish temporary gains.

Vin14: Shorn means to cut closely with scissors -it's akin to being shaven .That is why Apostle Paul says to "shave or shorn" as synonyms.The very purpose why God gave long hair to women, is for intimate differentiation which is the meaning of "covering".If women cut that long hair to resemble men's short hair ,then there is no need for hair on a women's head.So that is what Apostle was saying here.Women should not try to cut their hair short to resemble men,because their long hair is given as a covering over their body which project man's glory which is also the symbol of authority on womens head because it clearly differentiate between man and a woman from an angelic point of view-1 Corinthians 11:10.Now if for some reason (cancer chemo/radio therapy or other disease) a woman donot have natural long hair,then she should cover her head with a cloth/cap.

Vin14: Please think with logic/common sense/guidance of Holy Spirit of God,will Apostle Paul say this much anf in final verse say we have no such practice? It doesn't make sense.

Vin14: Now you are evading from the point.What explanation have you got to say "shorn" doesn't mean to cut all hair with scissors in this context?

WinsomeX: What did Jesus mean by this statement?

Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

Vin14: Paul ends the passage by saying-1 Corinthians 11:16-If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do the churches of God.He doesn't say "we have no such practice" but "we have no other practice" and it's not a matter of debate for it's a universal rule in all God's churches.

Please do not twist God's word and mislead people.

Vin14: This is not a ramble.You didn't see my reply.Shorn= cutting all hairs with scissors=Shaven=shaving all hair with razor.

In 1Corinthians11:5-Apostle says- But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head,it is the same as having her head shaved.In the next verse he says-For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.So it becomes clear that to be "shorn" is v.6 is synonymous with "shaven" in v.5.So the meaning of shorn in this context is to cut all hair with scissors.If the women want to twist the God given purpose of their natural long hair to cut and resemble male hair pattern,then it's better to cut off or shave off all hair on their head.

Image123: Mr suspect drumb.

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Vin14: No,it makes perfect sense.1 Corinthians 11:5,6 says 5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

Shorn means to cut closely with scissors -it's akin to being shaven .That is why Apostle Paul says to "shave or shorn" as synonyms.The very purpose why God gave long hair to women, is for sexual differentiation which is the meaning of "covering".If women cut that long hair to resemble men's short hair ,then there is no need for hair on a women's head.So that is what Apostle was saying here.Women should not try to cut their hair short to resemble men,because their long hair is given as a covering over their body which project man's glory which is also the symbol of authority on womens head because it clearly differentiate between man and a woman from an angelic point of view-1 Corinthians 11:10.Now if for some reason (cancer chemo/radio therapy or other disease) a woman donot have natural long hair,then she should cover her head with a cloth/cap.

macof: Lmao now this is still part of what the op is saying, promises promises but no delivery

The Jews set foot in Babylon, Persia, Philistia, Phoenicia etc why didn't they claim the places since Yahweh has supposedly given them at the moment they set foot in it?

And btw ur post doesn't answer my question...I asked where in the Bible did Hebrews have the lands Yahweh promised

this land is from Sinai peninsula (modern Egypt) to Halabiye in eastern Syria


Look at the maps

The link above leads to a Facebook group page called the Open Congregation. There Christians, like in nl religion section, discuss biblical doctrines, though in a less acrimonious manner.

The musician Kenny K'ore, a regular discussant on that page, raised a question, saying simply:

Who is a Man of God?

The discuss has raged on now for over three days and the points raised are really interesting

So I share it here. Friends who do we thinks is a man of God today? Are there some select few called men of God or are all Christians men of God?

While I will love to hear from everyone on this forum, I will most especially like to know the views of the following on the subject: PastorKun, Gombs, mbaemeka, SirJohn, Candour, BabaGnoni, Joagbaje, Peter007, Image123, Bidam, Goshen360, frosbel, ichuka, Tgirl4real, and others. Hope you see this on mention.

I expect a mature discussion, with the hope that we shelve past grievances if there are any.

mazaje: Why after the rapture why not now. . .So far babies born with down syndrome and amputees are yet to receive any healing from your god. .I wonder why that is. . .

debosky: To learn from - not to repeat/copy senselessly.

The Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness therefore because they did it I must go and spend 40 years in the wilderness so I can 'learn from it'.

If you follow the 'principle' of Malachi (doing what the law commands) but ignore the 'principle' of wave and heave offering, you have broken all the 'principles'. Geddit?

James 2:10 For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws.

Get it into your head.

DrummaBoy: Oyakhilomeism...

or to "Oyakhilome" him...

or he is in danger of experiencing "Oyakhilomeing"

O Lord, save us from "Oyakhiloment"

mazaje: Meaning your god can not heal children with down syndrome?. . .

macof: Pls shows us where God gave them the land he promised??
Old testament reference pls? Or any other authorised source for Jewish history

debosky: This one na your own grammar you dey blow - Ola follows the 'principle' of Malachi, therefore he is following the 'principle' of justification through ceremony laws as you cannot detach Malachi and the temple - it is no different from wave and heave offerings.

If we follow the 'principle' of Malachi why can we not follow the 'principle' of heave offering and wave offering? Abi those 'principles' are not worth following? Aren't 'ALL SCRIPTURE' useful for doctrine or you sef don dey practice pick-and-chooseism'?

Weah96: The creator is the same as the healer. After creating Ebola, and allowing its integration among people, are you telling me that he then sets out to heal the same people he inflicted with the disease?

Vin14: She should not cover over the natural long hair covering given to her by God.This natural long hair covering is given to block the man's glory her body projects,when in the presence of God. (1Corinthians11:1-16).
