Those Ijaw youth leaders (who probably are also kidnappers) who were bleating that the perpetrators of criminal activities in Lagos are not Ijaws should be ashamed of themselves. As a matter of fact, these so called Ijaw youth leaders should be placed under surveillance by SSS and other security agents.

The kidnappers of Iba monach in Lagos have been arrested and they confessed and still talking... from their look and names, it's indisputable that these guys are Ijaws.

I just hating talking about biblical matters without quoting any scripture to back yourself up! I preach Jesus, that's why I would always back it up with his word. So learn it!

I am misleading people? Prove this with scripture, even if a single verse that contradicts what I have talked about so far.

Restitution, a MUST? Then the criminal at the cross was NEVER saved, the adulterer was never saved and so on. The paralysed man that Jesus forgave his sins in the synagogue, why did jesus forgive the man, even without telling him to restitute?

RESTITUTION IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR GETTING SAVED.

PROOFS:
Romans 11:6;6 And IF by grace, then is it NO
MORE OF WORKS(including restitution):
OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE. But if it
be of works, then is it NO MORE GRACE: otherwise
work is no more work.

Eph 2:8-9;"8 For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF
GOD:
9 NOT OF WORKS(including restitution), lest any
man should boast."

Romans 3:24 "Being justified(made righteous,
saved) FREELY(not demanding your goodness/
good works including restitution) by his grace through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus:"

Titus 3:5;"He saved us, NOT BECAUSE of any works
of righteousness(like restitution) that we had done,
BUT BECAUSE OF HIS OWN PITY AND MERCY, by [the] cleansing [bath](finished work) of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit," AMPC

Roman 4:5;"But to one who, NOT WORKING[by the
Law;(e.g; restitution), trusts (believes fully) in Him
Who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited to him as righteousness (the STANDING ACCEPTABLE to God)."

There a
re just many proofs, but I will stop here. If you have ANY(even if 1) verse contradicting all these proof then post it here publicly.


You gave an example and in that example you sounded so hypocritical!

Let's look at it this way:

Let's say that you are 45yrs at
this moment. So when you were 10, you worked as an ice-cream seller under a ice-cream business owner. Now, back to 35yrs ago, you stole #5 ONLY just to buy a sweet. And you cover it from your master and he didn't know up till now. Now that you are now born again, sincerely answer this question. Assuming you remember that #5 you stole from your master 35yrs ago, WILL YOU RESTITUTE IT?

Hypocrisy is devilish and can be dangerous!

Blockhead! So the ultimate goal of a woman must be to get married nd give birth... did she cry to u that she feels lonely?? you dat u have married nd have a dozen of children.. wat else have u accomplished in life

Lifestone:
Seems you not getting my point here, you cannot practically restitute on all issues. In some cases you cannot even if you want.E.g an armed robber that killed a person can't bring the life back. He can only confess and seek for peace and forgiveness.
On the other issues we are in agreement

Lifestone:
Your example above isn't restitution in the context of the OP. What you illustrated is seeking peace with whom you've offended of which I don't have a problem , even that have to be done with lots of wisdom not to cause more offense. For instance how do you restitute with a man you committed adultery with his wife?
Restitution should lead to you restoring the other party to the state of the original if not better, like zack the tax man, in some instances it's simply impossible, so restitution cannot be a condition for salvation

Thanks so much for opening up this thread on this issue! God bless you!

This issue of restitution is something that is getting out of hand. Restitution is GOOD. But the problem is ON WHAT GROUND are you doing the restitution.

My problem with restitution arises each time some ignorant people make it look like a requirement for salvation. And they would always use zacheus(sorry, if not spelt well) to preach it to look like a requirement for salvation, not knowing that zacheus did it FOR A REASON. And they would mischievously shy away from the criminal at the cross, woman with issue of blood, woman of samaria(the prostitute), woman of adulterer who never restituted. This is shameful!

RESTITUTION IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR GETTING SAVED!

If I am saved because I restituted, then I AM THE SAVIOUR and not jesus christ because it is MY OWN GOODNESS. But if I am saved because Jesus died ON MY BEHALF, took the punishment of my sins ON MY BEHALF and FREELY declare HIS PERSONAL righteousness on me, then there is no doubt that he TOTALLY SAVES! We have to agree on one thing, which is that restitution is a GOOD WORK.

The bible makes it clear that salvation/eternal life/righteousness of God is NOT by grace + good works, rather it is evident in the scriptures that it is all about 100% grace OR 100% perfect good works.

Romans 11:6;6 And IF by grace, then is it NO MORE OF WORKS(including restitution): OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE. But if it be of works, then is it NO MORE GRACE: otherwise work is no more work.

In the above verse, paul was not saying that we should not do good works(including restitution), rather he was saying that if we receive salvation/eternal life/God's righteousness by relying on 100% God's grace, it is NO MORE by relying on our 100% perfect good works(even though no man can attain this). And that if we try to add good works to grace; as a means of getting saved, then GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE.

Why did paul say "...OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE."? To answer this you have to know that the grace of God, only through which we were saved is a gift, not a reward for good work.

Eph 2:8-9;"8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD:
9 NOT OF WORKS(including restitution), lest any man should boast."

Misinformed christian may say that I am preaching hyper-grace, but they don't know that God's grace on it's own is hyper. That's why it passes all understanding and imaginations, it makes one imagine. How can God...?

The grace of God which is a gift is NOT a cheap gift(which means you offered something little to EARN it), but a FREE GIFT!

Romans 5:15;"15 But not as the offence, so also is the FREE GIFT. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the FREE GIFT BY GRACE, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many."

So, in roms 11:6, paul was saying that if a FREE GIFT(grace) should demand your goodness, then the free gift is NO MORE a free gift.

So, if salvation/eternal life/God's righteousness/justification is given to us a FREE GIFT(grace), then it is NO MORE because of how good you are(even if you restitute). Your goodness adds NOTHING to your salvation.

I will leave you with this:
Romans 3:24 "Being justified(made righteous, saved) FREELY(not demanding your goodness/good works) by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"

THE REASON FOR RESTITUTION:
The only reason why one should restitute if HE WILLS, is for the reason of self-satisfaction and not as a means of getting saved. Because salvation of the lord is a free gift. Jesus NEVER told zacheus to restitute. Zacheus did it for the reason of self-satisfaction, to prove his salvation before men. And him proving his salvation before men through restitution adds NOTHING to his salvation, because Jesus gives it out FREELY.

Suprnov3r:
It may be hard.... but it would be better you separate (not divorce)

Give him time to explain, but also keep a reasonable distance until you have figured out his actual state of mind now and the reasons for his actions. You also need to find out if he wants to continue his relationahip with you or her... it cannot be both. You need to find out to what extent he depends on her and how much of his presence or absence could impact on your son. All these will help you re access the relationship on whether to proceed for a divorce or to get back together depending on his answers to you


If he married the lady, you have to go for an annulment or divorce. You need to prayerfully consider all your options



She doesn't deserve this blame you are dumping on her. Even 8f she kbew him well, he would have likely done the same. Even of they dated for 10 years.

I got married in 2011,I dated my husband briefly before we Traditionally got married and shortly after that he traveled out.I was already pregnant and it was tough for me to be alone throughout the period the period of my pregnancy.He was assisting me financially sending money monthly but shortly after i gave birth he started complaining that he was having problem with his business that it was tough for him over there.
