Drifter02:
At 25 years, I've never had a proper girlfriend.. might sound like fiction but it's true

I've actively chased girls all my life.. but I've never actually met any that liked me for me..

This was particularly worse in university.. all the girls I met were dumb and were only interested in chasing good grades instead of just actively existing..




The way you look down on people's choices about how to live their lives has said all we need to know about your

But hopefully, there's still someone like you for you
Keep the hope alive
Some are even married now and their lives are still robotic and pathetic.. these days they're chasing corporate certifications and more needless difficult things instead of just calming down and living their lives

Interestingly, the only one that had a school cert I met that gave me her number later told after two years (we never had sex btw) that she feels my family won't allow us marry as I had a BSc and she doesn't.. (young girl of 22 ).. naso she break things up. Bro the reason was just weird and strange. I suspect though she has another man she's attracted to.

All the other girls I keep meeting keep using me for money.. rather than bonding emotionally, it's always send me card.. buy me ice cream.. take me out.. stupid nonsensical crap and whatnot

Bro.. I'm just tired. I earn 100k a month and all I do I just sit indoors, jerk off and hate my life.. it's almost true love died with the last century. Without a partner.. my life just feels hollow and meaningless

Going for altar call is one of the methods of identifying yourself as a sinner or backslider in need of repentance. It is not a way to bribe God or to pacify your guilty conscience, but an act for the purpose of repenting from sin.

If you have committed terrible sins & you are feeling so guilty, going for altar call is not a way of looking for how to make your conscience feel alright & then go back to sin after pacifying your conscience. Repentance is a change of lifestyle that is aided by the HolySpirit.

You should be determined to repent when going for altar call. After repentance, you are to stop your old evil ways, apologize & make peace with those you may have offended, study your bible regularly, pray always, attend a bible-believing church, serve God faithfully.

Kill the habit of ungratefulness and covetousness in you.
Think of the church without Adeboye from the begging and sincerely extrapolate what will be the status of the church now, that is even if the church is still existing.

Originalsly:
The building is the temple .... the people gathered to worship in the temple are the church. We use church to refer to the people and building ... so what? ...is it a sin? Indomie is a company .... noodles is a food made by the company. Have you ever eaten Indomie with eggs? Really?

Kennitrust:
is it this heart on my chest?

CodeTemplar:
Goat talk. The people, under right conditions, are the body of Christ and the church building is the closest thing to a 'church' because that's where the gathering of the church body takes place most.
By now this cyber fraud parading as a preacher should have had a vibrant youtube channel or website to promote his building-less church model he so much uses to hate on others .

Daejumong:
Hi Daejumong, I am a new Christian convert with 4 wives! My pastor said I need to send three of my women away except the first wife! He said it is called restitution and it’s important for my new life in Christ!

My wives have all given their lives to Christ as well and I love them and not keen on sending any of them away.
I am a 38yr old man living in the northern part of Nigeria and I used to be a Muslim .

Sir, what should I do? Can’t I keep all of them and we all serve God together?

nikky5:
Recently, I have heard a few of our fathers of faith in Nigeria preach that tithe defaulters will not make it to heaven when they die.

I will need further clarification on this because I have stopped paying my tithes for about three years now. I also believe in tithing as an old testament law. Well, I may be wrong in some ways. Can anyone throw more light on this please. I am a born again Christian.

Thanks.

do you know know that Paul was not one of the Apostles? So based on that, he could have been deceived?

Mubiola360:
the same christain society even from a pope now said Gay and Lesbianism is blessed . Continue .
So Father Abraham A proclaim Friend of The Almighty, father of the believers committed unlawful act? Prophet David, one if the most beloved prophet committed Unlawful act by marrying more than one ?
I am definitely certain non of us in this present day is more Righteous than these people.
Same 21st century men of God will preach one wife one woman and you will see them committing fornication and adultery. If God didn't expose them while alive, when they are dead, you will see their concubines show up from no where.
Polygamy is not a sin , what is a sin is not being responsible to your spouse . Even if you have one wife and you do not take care of her ,you have committed a great sin.

APOSTLECHUMA:
GOD IS INFINITE AND DOESNT ACQUIRE NEW KNOWLEDGE, NEITHER DOES HE CHANGE HIS ORDER OF DOING THINGS. WHEN HE CREATED THE FIRST MAN, HE ONLY MADE ONE WIFE FOR HIM, NOT TWO. AFTER THE FALL IN EDEN HOWEVER, EVERY THING WAS SHATTERED, WITH NOTHING REMAINING IN THE ORIGINAL ORDER IT WAS MADE, WITH MARRIAGE INCLUSIVE. POLYGAMY WAS PERMISSIVELY INTRODUCED JUST LIKE DIVORCE BUT NONE WAS GOD'S PERFECT WILL. WITH THE COMING OF CHRIST, EVERYTHING WAS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL ORDER INCLUDING MARRIAGE AND EVEN DIVORCE, WHICH WAS INTRODUCED BY MOSES OUT OF THE HARDNESS OF THE PEOPLES HEARTS, WAS ABOLISHED. THE ONLY CONDITION PERMITTED BY CHRIST UNDER WHICH A MAN CAN PUT AWAY HIS WIFE, IS FOR FORNICATION, NOT ADULTERY. WHEN JESUS PREACHED THIS IN MATTHEW 19, THE JEWS REPLIED HIM THAT IF THAT BE SO, THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A MAN TO MARRY. THE REASON WAS THAT THEY WERE NOT READY TO FORGIVE THEIR WIVES BECAUSE WHAT CHRIST PREACHED, MEANT THAT FOR ADULTERY, THEY HAD NO BIBLE RIGHT TO DIVORCE THEIR WIVES AND THAT IS TRUE UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. A MAN CAN ONLY DIVORCE HIS WIVE, BASED ON FORNICATION AND WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT IF A WOMAN HAD LIVED A NASTY LIFE BEFORE MARRIAGE AND LATER GOT MARRIED BY DECEIVING HER HUSBAND THAT SHE WAS STILL A VIRGIN, THAT THE MAN SHOULD PUT HER AWAY, AFTER DISCOVERING THAT AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE MARRIAGE WAS BASED ON FALSEHOOD AS EVERY MAN IN GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN IS SUPPOSED TO MARRY A VIRGIN. OUTSIDE THIS, FOR ADULTERY, A MAN IS EXPECTED TO FORGIVE HIS WIFE, JUST THE WAY GOD FORGIVES US OUR MANY SINS DAILY. THIS WAS WHY CHRIST PREACHED FORGIVENESS 70 TIMES 7 A DAY BEFORE PREACHING ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST TEACHINGS IN THE BIBLE AND NOT ALL WILL ACCEPT IT, JUST LIKE THOSE JEWS IN MATTHEW 19. IF ONE DIVORCES HIS WIFE FOR ADULTERY, HE HAS NO BIBLE RIGHT TO REMARRY, HE CAN ONLY STAY SINGLE OR GET RECONCILED WITH HER. EMAIL cfountainoftruth@yahoo.com FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

Lol, it's the always the fault of the readers and not the shitty authors who pack plenty ambiguities in one book

Imagine a country constitution containing this much of a contradictory ambiguity, the country will definitely be swimming in chaos

princefunm:
The Law that God gave the Israelites stipulated that Kings must have only one wife.

Even though God permitted polygamy, it was never his will. When he made a wife for Adam he made only one.

As a Christian though, the standard is one man one wife.

The Bible clearly stipulates this as a requirement for those who are overseers or leaders.

If the leader of a so-called Christian church is verifiably polygamous, then it simply means that he was unfit to lead.

Its very simple and clear.

It also makes him adulterous by bible standards.


Good evening Sir
You are very right about leaders having one wife

But doesn't it mean that someone with 2 wives can't be a Christian?
I mean, so there's no way of salvation for them?

The recommendation is one Man,one wife but polygamy was never declared sinful

Appletek:
That is the thing with idiots like this. They can never see where the Bible asks them to care for the poor, but anything that will justify their fetishes and sexual lust, they will embrace it.

komekn:
Literal speaking 🗣️ it doesn't mean a number it's a principle of marriage, every man should have his wife ,it doesn't negate wives.

Kobojunkie:
You Christians are terrible people. The God of Israel put a seal on His Prophets and visions about 1900 Years ago - Daniel 9 vs 24 - at the close of His Last Days. You lot pretend you believe all that is declared in the book yet here you are insinuating the God of Israel lied and this man's father was in fact one of His prophets. Why are your minds this broken?

Raymond84:
In the Bible, there are instances of individuals having multiple wives, particularly in the Old Testament. However, it's important to note that the Bible does not explicitly endorse or condemn polygamy. Instead, it records various accounts of individuals who engaged in polygamous relationships, such as King Solomon, who famously had many wives.

While polygamy was culturally accepted in some ancient societies, the New Testament emphasizes the importance of monogamous marriage. For example, in the New Testament, Jesus referred to the divine plan for marriage as being between one man and one woman, citing the Genesis account.

Ultimately, interpretations of biblical teachings on marriage vary among different religious traditions and individuals.


Good evening Sir
Well Said

But whatever interpretation any sect gives to the word of God, there's only one thing it means

Monogamy is recommended by Christ and being his servant, that is what I will do and teach

But what about those who are polygamous before they met Christ?

Polygamy is not sinful but monogamy is our goal and our recommendation just like Christ

yewit37486:
Don't waste your time explaining to people who already know what they want to do and are just looking for a way to justify it.

Anyone that wants to marry 100 wives should please go ahead, it wouldn't change the fact that the Bible is clear on it being One man, one wife.

oluwaseyi0:
The Bible is so volatile and contradictory that most people literally cherry pick whatever they want from it, it support everything you want

Imagine the constitution of a country been this inconsistent, volatile and contradictory; the country will always be in chaos

As terrible as the bible is the Qur'an is even way worse off

Imagine a book that allows people cherry pick to the extent that they can blow themselves up (if they can do that to themselves imagine what they can do to you and your families) kidnap kids in school (like in chibok) and so many others unspeakable atrocities

Same quran and some Muslims are just very great people, down to earth, pose no security threat and generally good people

Same book but different cherry picking, nothing else could define volatile

thesicilian:
We didn't attend the same school, I have my own school that I attended, and you have yours.
So if I say I have my own school I attended, does that mean I was the only one in the school?

If I tell my friends I can stay here, I'm going back to my own house, does that mean I'm the only one who lives in the house? Come to think of it, "my own house" doesn't even mean I own the house, it just implies that I have a legal right to use the house. So 40 people can call a house their own house as long as they're legal occupants of the house.

That's the lexical ambiguity I'm talking about.

Jesus never condemned polygamy, most of those in the bible who seemed to condemn it were the overzealous converts who were not even with jesus and tended to apply their personal beliefs in most of their teachings.

Some of the greatest icons in the Bible were polygamists, such as Abraham, Solomon, David etc

And they're all already in heaven while you are here talking about unimportant things like polygamy instead of focusing on the actual teachings of christ like repentance, forgiveness, love etc

God1000:
His father married 13 wives with 53 children, so this is not surprising coming from him.


1 Corinthians 7 and states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over

Animegirl:
So, there's a man who wants me to be his wife. Honestly, he possesses the qualities of a good husband, but I can't deny that I don't find him attractive. Despite my efforts, I can't seem to develop feelings for him. Seeing his face makes me angry, even though he treats me well and spends generously. His height and face are a deal-breaker for me. If I accept his proposal, I know it will cause pain, but no matter how rude I've been, he won't let go. I'm considering running away from my community altogether. I don't want him to know my parents; otherwise, I'm done.

ebubeson:
You may have seen ladies that will vehemently follow their Pastors instructions and opinion concerning marriage. Some may not choose a partner until confirmed by their Pastor.

To what degree is a pastors involvement in choosing a spouse for someone? A pastor can advise someone on the kind of person he or she should marry, a pastor can caution when he notices dangers and red flags, but a pastor should be very careful in saying whom the exact marriage partner is? A potential marriage about to happen can be destroyed by the false visions or wrong revelations of a pastor. Be careful!

Please kindly contribute.

Botragelad:
That's a right peculiar take, and I must say I disagree with it, mate! To say that a "genuine" Christian shouldn't have their hair in a particular style seems a bit judgy, if you don't mind me sayin' so.
As far as I can tell, there's nothin' in the Bible that says Christians can't have their hair in any particular way.

The idea that a Christian's appearance should be a certain way to "preach" or "convince" others seems a bit backwards, if ya ask me. After all, the Bible says that "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)
The focus should be on the person's character and actions, not on how they choose to look, yeah?

MrsTwrite:
It's his choice.

PapaGfad:
It is no more news that marriages have lows and high time and several events take place that makes couples feel so much pressure and feel choked in marriage. And of course, the usual line of action is to find 'solace' in some available shoulders.

However, gone are the days when these available shoulders understand boundaries and even though they may be 'providing succour' to the wife or husband, they still at least understand certain boundaries. For instance, for no reason will I keep a married woman on the phone at night(especially anything from 8.30pm) when she is under her husband's roof no matter how close we are. It is a brocode law for me.

But how come these days, you will find another married man, engaging another married woman under the roof of her husband on calls deep into the hours of the night?

Here is my thought, if a woman were to be having issues with her husband(aside from physical attack o) and she calls me at night when she should be on bed with the husband ,is it not reasonable for me to encourage the woman to put efforts into resolving the issue rather than cowardly running into my arms for solace at least for that night by simply postponing our calls till day time?


Or even if there were to be no issues, does it not look odd to be deeply engaged in cozzy calls with a married fellow in the deep of the night?

I am just wondering if I am overthinking this or perhaps it is just that people don't care anymore about these things?
