they wondered how I could stand so firmly no matter what. Think about that. They came and asked not I went to cajole or beg them. Compare with the Apostles!

Compare with the apostles indeed! Stop bragging. Pride is not a fruit of the Spirit.

he's not a Christ- follower and does not even know what it means.

Ohoh, tell me i didn't predict this please Lord.

lives evidenced by boasts, talking without thinking, lies, self-righteousness, pride and folly upon folly. Next port of call is anger

You've not been using the mirror I asked you to get the other time, have you? Your computer screen, i dare repeat, will not suffice.
Even at post 118, you're still on with this image called you girl thing. Talk about straining at a gnat, hypocrite. And at the end, you started it with your GAL talk, followed by your friend aletheia, before me. MANIPULATE is the word to be bolded. Check out lying wonders in post 126. By their fruits, . . .
I predict an 'emotional outburst'.

Then your friend/shadow came up in post 98 with

She probably didn't expect you to accept her offer of a laptop.

And stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Image did it, image did it, did what? You keep mentioning my nairaland id in almost every post, is it a part of some incantation you must utter? Talk about obsessed, and you're dreaming of me following you everywhere and knowing your current location everywhere? Common, stand up; I myself also am a man, not the LORD.

Check my profile for my age, dude!

Here you come again with this boasts, like that qualifies you for Mr rock of AGES. You think you're the oldest person on nl. 40 is not an age to misbehave papa. It's a critical marking point. All these boasts of they call me out, I can feed you, i belong to GANG is unbecoming sire.

do you know how many people read this thread and waited to see what would happen?

Oh, how many? The whole nigeria/world must be gazing with heart in throat. Nobody is watching you, stop all this ego, the world isn't built around you.

Maybe aletheia needs to know the meaning of the word 'blackmail', and no one is crying about it, at least not me.

She said asked if I can't afford it now - I can afford many things but not this not now; but she can so I'm
waiting for it She said I sleep in the cybercafe. Thats the truth (HER truth so its acceptable to HER and ok by me) I can afford the bundles. I'll use Visafone 24/7 or Starcomms. 9,500 monthly for 24/7, I believe. So whats your next design/web-of-lies to try to get out of a promise and can you see how ridiculous you've become with your lying?

So you use cybercafe for all those trash you post .? Does it mean that you can't afford laptop or PC? , please contact me let me buy one for you. So that you can stop sleeping in the cybercafe.But that is if you can afford buying bundles from MTN or other network.

Comprehension is a part of english exams.

You said I am folly indeed for calling you female - sorry but you were talking to Image123. He it was who said you were a "girl" and if its not that you want to be a liar, you can go through the thread and see who corrected me and said you were female.

Either you're deliberately lying here, or you're foolishly hasty of words. If you may recall, you first hinted in post 95

The guy/GAL promised me a laptop. I want one.

Touche!
I'd be waiting for a good reply to this comment above.
But I must add this: Neither was the law for Christians. Maybe we should revisit Romans and Galatians.

Holla!

Which of the Romans? Is it the same one that says 'the doers of the law shall be justified', or that says 'yea, we ESTABLISH the law' or that 'the law is holy and good', or that says 'that the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the law might be fulfilled in US', or is it the romans Hadley Chase wrote?
Abi is it the Galatians that asks he the law is against God's promises, and answers GOD FORBID. Try another one abeg. Isaiah 8v20. All scripture is God-breathed and profitable. Matthew 5v19

Joagbaje:
The law was never for the gentile.
And why emphasis on one aspect even though it's being misapplied. If you really want to keep the law why choose a verse. What of Verse 11

Deuteronomy 22:11
11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,[ as] of woollen and linen together.

Isaiah 8v20. To THE LAW and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Obviously, you didn't read my posts or the subjects i encouraged you all to read up on. There's been no reply on them btw. You just keep harping on the same thing. I've answered you. Do you accept Deuteronomy 28v1-13? Our dear passage is a paragraph on its own, and speaks of ABOMINATION TO THE LORD. I wont repeat myself fully.
The Bible is written for us all. The early church read and freely quoted both OT and NT. Paul commended the brethren to this same Word and claimed that it was able to build up and give an inheritance. Do not remove from God's Word to us.

Thanks yommyuk for the reply to Jenwitemi. Hope He can see it though. Obviously Jesus is Lord and deserves our worship. And yes again, ALL have sinned and come short of God's glory.

God is not found in church ko. How this guys just mistalk is ridiculous. What's more ludicrous is when they're welcomed with an embrace by 'those who ought to know better', simply because they don't support tithe.
Life is more than tithe, gangs and cliques against pro.tithers will not change God's Word/standard. Though hand join in hand, . . .
FYI, the church is the body of Christ, it's absurd to say that God is not found in it(both local and universal). He's supposed to be omnipresent btw.
Also, the matthew scripture quoted refers to BRETHREN(the body of Christ), not some bunch of almangris(no hard feelings meant to them).

None of the apostles or prophets practiced such things. It's a common practice with the occult and our unpopular babalawos. Love not the world, for friendship with the world is enmity with God.

@nuclearBOY,

When a man is found arguing with a smallBOY on the street , people will think that the man has lost his mind. That is what replying you is like.Since you are still a smallBOY the forum is for men not for BOYS like you.

So you use cybercafe for all those trash you post .?Does it mean that you can't afford laptop or PC? , please contact me let me buy one for you. So that you can stop sleeping in the cybercafe .But that is if you can afford buying bundles from MTN or other network .

Typically of your wof mentors, you didn't bother to examine the conditions attached to the promise, but you're here shameless claiming and grabbing, and sounding your bell like that hypocrite pharisee in Luke 18v11,12 with your bolded 'I'm not proud, I'm not self-righteous'. Your story dejustifies you. hahahaha

Yorubas say 'e gba mi'. Done for ke? This sect can be real funny then annoying, then pitiful.

You're threatening her with her faith in question, that's blackmail. So you actually 'rebuked', cute grammar. Anyway, that's your 1st real funny post. Got me laughing. Hope you do your laptop. Now is the time to 'exercise your faith'. Show your wof mentors that you're now a pro.

Did you add robes? Don't worry, i'll add cloak and vestment. You go back and read again also. It seems you've not read my posts. Where do you get this idea that trousers originated in britain, or belong to the english? Have you tried to google up this info, or you heard it long time ago in . . . As far back as INSIDE your Bible, men were tagged with breeches/trousers and women with skirts. You check it up.
Christian common sense and reason is that the Bible is written to us all. Our lamp, our light and our guide. Dodge-sense is that the Bible is talking to Jews, then to pharisees, then to corinthians, then to people before the cross, and all whatnot excuses.

This is cheap blackmail, a christian is not supposed to do this. You'll probably only make the girl feel guilty and condemned, a work of the devil. Stop this coveteousness. And He'll come and start accusing others of fleecing, always looking for loop-holes and making big deals out of gnats.

Jenwit may explain that one better, so we'll wait, but nonetheless. Jesus Christ deserves our worship and praise for He is God.

It's not a tradition of trousers but a 'pertaining' of trousers. And its not been brought in, you are trying to take it out AND the same time bring in 'feminine trousers'. And there's no reason for you to falsely accuse me, thereby commiting sin. Deuteronomy 22v5 was written to US all, just like 28v1-13, and there's no where in the authorized version Bible we've all been quoting from page 1 of this thread that states that men and women wore gowns. Don't add to the Word brother.

Alexleo
Thanks and God bless you too.

Yes i saw status, but you talked about 'worship of the status of the image'. That's a tad blind to me, and i'm like maybe you meant to say statue(like some christains worship statues). But Jesus is worthy of our worship. He never rejected worship while here on earth, nor does He reject our worship now. He is God, unlike angels or men like Paul and Peter who rejected worship, and are not to be worshipped.

Sure and agreed, but you can't erase Deuteronomy 22v5 even if you made it your life goal. No tittle or jot of the Word will be eroded.

Oh! But now, we're born and there's no running away from it. We must be born again. Jesus's image or statue is not to be worshipped. Jesus is the Lord to be worshipped for He is Lord, Master, Way, Life, Friend, King, Saviour and God. Quite unique.

Na wa o! I don't recall stealing from the pot, even before i gave my life to God. Stealing was never one of my dear sins, and i was thoroughly home-trained not to steal btw. It's quite amazing that it's so normal to some. Thank God sha.

1Thessalonians 5v12. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

Must there be a reply? Question left unanswered after more than 10 sentences.

Heaven is not democracy or by popular demand. psalm 15

It's not of God but a misuse of the Word of God. It's a dishonour to God and will attract God's wrath.

There's nothing more worth hearing than being saved. And Jesus is the ultimate Saviour. You may not realise that you need to be saved until you've spent and wasted, and found out there's no satisfaction.
There's no true satisfaction outside the Saviour Christ Jesus.

Must there be a reply?

Have you not read John 13v13? Ye call me master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
Jesus is Lord. It's not so difficult. Don't you know for instance, that your father can still refer to another as 'sir'. Does that absolve you from calling him(your father) 'sir'? Be careful.

They say "No, I have no right, no part that i play will be acceptable to God, I'm filthy and useless, God will do it all". But not a man truly after God's heart. "I am purposed that my mouth will not transgress ". There goes personal discipline and diligence. It is what made Job say "My righteousness I hold fast". It was what prompted Daniel and his friends to purpose in their hearts not to defile themselves. It is what helped Paul to put his body under, by himself. You've got your part to play.
Surely, God gives us our robes of righteousness, and only Him can wash it white, we can't. But we do have our parts to play by not walking in the gutter, being careful that we don't sit on dust, or using our robes as duster, or using it to carry palm-oil kegs. We can purpose not to transgress with our mouths or any parts of our body. May God give us grace and understanding.

July 17 Psalm 17v3
3. Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.


Oh for a person after God's heart like the psalmist was. He could confidently say, "God, you've tried my heart, and visited me even suddenly, you've tried me, AND WILL FIND NOTHING". What confidence! By the way, it was a confidence laid/founded on God, not a self-righteous stance. If you'll read further, he says "hold up my goings in your paths that my footsteps may not slip".
Above is the teamwork God loves. Here is true fellowship. God doesn't just want only you talking. He's not satisfied either by only Him talking. He seeks a communion. He wants to play His part AND for you to play yours. Many people are too 'humble ' to play their part.

Moved to jokes section by fire.

Jenwitemi:
While this thread is not about jesus and what his purpose is, you are free to give us your own interpretation on that issue as long as you do not forget that it is only your own view, your own version. I have my own version too, concerning the same issue. So, go ahead, let's hear it. Not that i am going to hear something different, new and fresh from you, though.

Thanks for the prompt. I always love to speak about my Jesus, no other subject interests me more for He's all to me.
Isaiah 35v4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Such a promise is what Jesus fulfilled when He came on earth. He came to save us from sin and its power. Everything seemed against us, the judgement was on our race. None seemed a suitable sacrifice, not Moses, no not David, not Samuel, not even Noah, or Enoch. Only Jesus, He came to set us free. Saved us by dying on the cross. Gave us another chance to choose the tree of calvary, in the stead of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We all have our choice to make. Come AND He will give you rest. There's so much to say of Him. He'll come and save you.

Wheez, thought i'll meet a page.

Coming to trousers, how did we get to start wearing trousers in Africa and the people that brought it to us "do they have trousers for women?" Because if God was giving the law to them and meant that a man should not wear what is "designed" for a woman, then design should be the principle WORD there that all must beware.

Firstly, nigeria is not africa but is in africa. And permit me to state that I'm not sure we just start wearing trousers when the british came. I doubt if all our ancestors were that 'local' as to be walking about in birthday suits or its designs. Be that as it may, God's Word tells us that we change when we accept Christ. 1Peter 1 puts it with the best pun.
14. As obedient children, not FASHIONING yourselves according to THE FORMER lusts in your ignorance.
15. But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation.
I've to leave for now, i'll come back. Do be patient this time. I just read about that tongue twistin, hell loosin festival above today. Evidently, i'm learning new things. I point all through the thread has being that excuses against deut 22 aren't new, i've given them before. But looking closely and kinda unbiasedly, i'm seeing something new, maybe not embraceable or clapworthy but seems true.2CORINTHIANS 13v8.
