May God protect our daughters and Son

It is the job of parents and society as a whole to protect the vulnerable including the children. 🥱

AntiChristian:
You only read one Genesis 1:26, why don't you read the next verse and understand your scripture. You always read verses in isolation and use your Trinitarian bias to misinterpreted them. The use of "us" is not plural as the next verse showed God is one by the use of "he"! The plural is for respect!
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in [b]his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.[/b]
So was man created in the father's image or in the son's image or in the spirit's image?

Genesis 1 vs 26 answers your question. It literally tells you that the image of the Father encompasses the image of the us/our in verse 6. I mean this is literally implied in verse 27 where you are informed that both male and female images are according to the image of the Father(the Our/Us in verse 26). 😒

✓ What sense can we make from your response

A simple one actually! There are no measured benefits to virginity, only imagined ones. And this likely appears to both men and women. 🥱🥱

sonmvayina:
1. Please read Ecclesiastes 12:7 and psalm 104!29-31
2. That is enough reason to believe that he is a fictional character. Isn't it mush like Perseus of clash of the titans.

1. What is stated in those passages directly correlate with what is written in Genesis chapter 1 through 3. Any private delusions/interpretations you wish to give them... I do not care to attend to.🥱

2. He is fictional yet a moment ago, you were certain he was no different from you. What a ridiculous delusion, yours must indeed be. 🥱🥱

sonmvayina:
➜It might interest you to know that we are that God spirit having a human experience.
➜ So if Jesus actually existed,he is no different from us.

I am not interested in your private delusions but what is stated in the Books of the Israelites Scripture. According to the books, the Spirit of God is not man or any part of man. Rather, it is the breath that animates man; the same breath leaves man and returns to God once man dies. It holds nothing of the essence of man, as it is rather fully of God. Genesis Chapter 1 - 3 attests to this.

2. Again, I am not here to trade private delusions with you but engage in discourse regarding that which is, in fact, written down in the book. No other man is said to have been born exactly as Jesus Christ of Israel was; no man is born directly from the infusion of the Spirit of God with the essence of the human being. So, this claim of yours that Jesus Christ of Israel is no different from other men is fallacious. 😒

IreMide999:
Remaining chaste is a beautiful choice for unmarried ladies.
It helps preserve purity and self-respect.
It builds confidence and self-control.
It allows you to stay focused on your goals and future.
It reduces the risk of infections and unwanted pregnancy.
It also helps you avoid emotional burdens and unnecessary pressure.
There are many benefits to living a disciplined life.
Why place yourself under a burden that can be avoided?

Fortunately, women have finally realized that many of these are mere religious delusions/traditions meant to keep them subdued and subjugated rather than offer them real-world benefits. I suggest you realize this and begin moving away from these same delusions for your own sake. 😒

Please can you provide proper referencing, so I can read the context While at it, do well to check Isaiah 45:5
Isaiah 45:5
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,
Thanks

YHWH is right to state that outside of Him, even His own Spirit does not exist. He is YWHW, and out of Him His very own Spirit emanates. YHWH and the Spirit of YHWH are one, though distinct beings. 😒

➜Good afternoon house, I will like to be brief here. I am about to take my wife home to their parents even though her both parents are dead, I married this lady 2019 with two kids, fast forward to 2020, immediately this lady delivered her first child, she changed, started misbehaving, talking back at me, with insult, nagging and all sort of aggressiveness towards me, I call some few members of my family to come and talk to her, after talking it didn't yield useful result, in many cases, this girl doesn't want me to touch her sexually, I have to manage her like that for seven years now, but now I have fed up with her character and I have decided to take her home to her parents house. As of now nobody in her mother's room now, the room is under lock and key, and only their step mother that is in the compound for now, my worries is my children, are I not exposing them to some danger of any kind? As for my wife she doesn't fill remorse at all, she have already started preparing her belongings to travel maybe because she knew my children are so glue to me, she thinks I can send them home. What did you advice me to do in this case. Thanks you all..

If your wife is not financially independent at this time, would you let your kids go anywhere with her? I hope not!😒

Go file for an official divorce from your wife in the courts. If you are not an abusive father, you should be able to care for your children while requiring that the courts require your wife to pay child support to you at least until she gets her foot on the ground and can care for the children about half of the time, too. 😒

DanOkonkwo:
Why is it that most African parents find it difficult to apologise to their kids,most especially their teenage children.
They believe that their children would disrespect them the more if they try to tell them sorry, some of them try to tell sorry but through some other ways but not directly. But this form of attitude is not seen amongst parents in the western world. I think it's about ego and pride on the part of African parents finding it difficult to stoop low to apologise to their kids when they as parents are the ones that are wrong.
What are your opinions? Have you apologised to your adolescent or teenage kids before when you did wrong or hurt them?
Happy New Week

. It is cultural, and we all know and see daily how bad our general culture is. It is a weapon fashioned against progress in many ways including at the family level. 😒😒

Nonsensical reasoning!😒😒

naniawini:
➜Then I picked my daughter about a week ago and when we got home I wanted bathing her, I observed if I try to wash her down there she'll cry then I knew my fears has been confirmed. I decided to question my baby girl because I've always taught her that no one should touch her down there. My little girl told me the aunt's husband used to ask him to suck his tongue and vice versa... I believe my little girl. Now! I told the dad but he's not believing me... I plan on taking her to the hospital tomorrow for check up. What kind of a father won't believe his little girl rather he's saying I'm the one lying. I don't know what to do honestly.
Please I need your opinions. Pardon my typo error please.

The kind of father the mother of the child picked for her.😒

I suggest you focus your mind on getting your girl medically checked. If abuse is confirmed, you report the situation to the right authorities, ensuring to charge the father of the child for negligence. 😒

jaephoenix:
➜There's no dissociative symptoms. Besides he has insight, which is a good symptom

. I think one would need to probe him to know that for certain. 😒

He at least learned his lesson. Hopefully, others will do the same. No human being should center another human being. 😒

➜Olowo kan larin otoshi mefa What is 36% of 100%

? Go back through my comments to you thus far, and when you are ready to answer my questions, let me know. 😒

SirCloudControl:
➜Say no more

The information you posted says that about 36% of those living in Nigeria are not poor and can hence save money from work or jobs. This also means that upward mobility for those living in abject poverty today is not impossible. So, why are you against me suggesting that women wait until they are financially independent to get married? What has A to do with B?

SirCloudControl:
➜Nigeria is a poor country but we try to project it as a rich country due to ego. If you are in Nigeria, Talk a walk in the evening and look around the people you see. Then you'll understand.
➜ You can't be financially independent because, you have to keep spending and unable to save. Not even able to save enough money for health. Talk less of being financially independent to help yourself and family

1. This makes no sense! It is a poor country, yet people earn money from jobs and businesses. Is it only the rich who can do all of that? 😒

2. So, the people saving up to build their own homes, purchase land, etc., are not Nigerians but rich aliens? 😒

SirCloudControl:
➜Just so you know the Torah, Talmud, septuagint were complied by scholars over time.
➜ Perhaps the term biblical scholars got you confused

. That much is evident from the content of the books. We know all those books are of history compiled over a period of almost 2500 years. 😒

2. The confusion here isn't mine. 😒

This is what happens when women do not ensure they are financially independent before marriage. 😒

SirCloudControl:
➜That is because you have refused to read and do your research.
➜ Even biblical scholars teach JEPD in schools

. Refused to read what? I read the Books of Israelite scriptures. 😒

2. I don't really give a flying fck about the opinions of your so-called biblical scholars, hence their bullsheet theories do not matter to me. 😒

Arda1000:
Because every religion and its doctrines are made up by men while claiming to be from a deity

Religions are manmade ideologies, no different from the many other ideologies out there, all of them with numerous interpretations.😒

oarowosola:
➜What do you think? Be nice please

You did good. I hate dirty environments as well. And yes, there is no reason why you have to live your life cleaning up after a grown-arsed adult.

I wish women could read this and realize that they, too, do not need to live their lives cleaning up after adult men.😒

SirCloudControl:
➜Genesis was complied from different sources. You can do some study on JEPD sources.
➜Also angels are not the same as spirit of God. Or maybe they are the same.

1. I don't subscribe to theories that do not conform with history and available evidence. 😒

2. I never said that Angels are the same as the spirit of God. 😒

AntiChristian:
➜Both can acts as God's messengers to carry out His will. And yes in Islam, the Spirit of God is a creation from Him and is not part of Him.
➜ Where does it say that the spirit was from God's essence or one with Him?
➜ Do they understand it as God in three persons but one God?
When Moses said "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. in Deuteronomy 6:4 - Was he talking about one essence in three persons? Bring proofs!

1. Wrong! For the umpteenth time, to dissect what is contained in the Israelite Scripture, you have to concede that it is totally removed from what your religion of Islam holds to. What Islam has is totally different from what is made clear in the Books of the Israelite Scripture. Attempting to pretend they are the same is an example of theological false equivocation. 😒

In Israelite Scripture, the Holy Spirit is not regarded as a messenger of YHWH in the Israelite Scripture. He is instead regarded as being one with YHWH's very essence. Angels are created by YHWH, but the Spirit of YHWH is uncreated. Angels are messengers, but the Spirit of YHWH is instead YHWH's very own essence, carrying out YHWH's will. 😒

When you are told in the first chapters of Genesis that the Spirit of YHWH hovered over the earth, and that the breath/Spirit of YHWH would not always be with men, it was in regards to the essence of YHWH, not YHWH Himself. His Spirit carries out His Will. 😒

2. We are told that man was created in the image of YHWH, and then later the Spirit of YHWH was breathed by YHWH(from His essence) into man when YHWH created man. Later on, we are told that the same Spirit would not stay eternally with man because of man's sin. 😒

3. Are you insinuating that the Prophets did not know their YHWH well? They certainly knew that the Spirit of YHWH is one with YHWH... So? 😒

When David, in the book of Samuel, prayed for a forever King to ascend the throne of his bloodline, David was very much aware of the nature of YHWH. This he made clear in His Psalms. And when Isaiah announced in Isaiah 54 onwards of the coming of the Messiah, he, Isaiah, certainly understood well what was to come. Even Daniel knew this well when he committed the details of the vision of the 70 weeks of 7s in writing. 😒

AntiChristian:
➜God send many messengers to work! He sent Angels to give messages, some to destroy! Are they also Gods like the one who sent them?
➜ Where is three in one God before Jesus?
➜ Show us the Prophets who preached the trinitarian dogma from the old testament?

1. Are angels the same as the Spirit of God or something? 😒

2. We know the Spirit of God was considered separate from YHWH right from the Book of Genesis, do we not? Is he, the Spirit of God, not one of the three? 😒

3. Genesis was written by one of the Prophets, was it not? And all the prophets accepted that which was stated in Genesis, or did they not?😒

AntiChristian:
➜Where was he told to specifically write what he saw? And did he saw Joseph's story too and Pharaoh as the head of Egypt? Also, show us where Moses was permitted to use his own input!
➜ So who commited the error now? Moses, YHWH or an unknown Scribe?

1. In Exodus 17:14, Exodus 34:27, Numbers 3:40, Numbers 17:2, Deuteronomy 31:9... Moses was commanded by YHWH to write what he saw, what he was told, what was happening, names of the people, etc., and he did exactly as he was commanded. Let's not attempt to minimize it in any way. 😒

2. You created this error of your own by your insistence on judging the writing based on details of a time before the writing. Moses grew up in the house of Pharaoh when the term was in common use to refer to the King. So, it made sense that he would regard the King as the Pharaoh. Suggesting that he was in error for referring to the King by the common term of his time is ludicrous.😒

AntiChristian:
➜Most Christians accept the proposed authors of the other books unlike Hebrews! Ask any average Christian and they'll tell the authors of all other books but Hebrew. Some would even ascribe Hebrew to Paul.
➜ No one says it's important. At least, an average Christain knows the dispute exists.

1. I don't give a flying fck what most Christians claim or say. Other than the fact that the books of the Israelite Scripture, including the letters contained in the Bible, were written by Israelites before the end of the 1st century, the identity of the authors is unknown for the most part. That is a fact! 😒

2. You literally created a thread to argue the importance of the identity of the author of the book of Hebrew here. Are you saying you were not being serious after all? 😒

jaephoenix:
➜Its not DID. There would have been dissociative symptoms and many of them dont have insight like him

I wouldn't be so sure it isn't. It is possible that there were dissociative symptoms, but he did not pay mind to them, as many people don't.😒

AntiChristian:
➜Your mumbo jumbo is too much! Jesus is said to be 100% God while also 100% human; creating an hermaphroditic combo that never existed before! The father was never human as well as the spirit. Why would a God pray to another God? Why would a God have another God?
➜ It is beleived that the persons of your Godhood are co-equal and co-eternal. If Jesus can pray to the father then it can be vice versa. So can you answer the question now?
➜ The phone company depends on me as well as their other customers to make profit and to still be relevant in business.

1. It is mumbo jumbo to you because of your particular obsession with making him according to your ideas and not what is stated. He was born a human being... flesh and blood Israelite, making him subject to the same terms and conditions that are the Law of Moses over all Israelites. So, yes, every Israelite was required to pray to YHWH, and Jesus Christ of Israel was not different. 😒

2. Answer the question that was asked, please! Is the Holy Spirit of YHWH under(a subject of) the Covenant that YHWH made with the bloodline of Jacob, aka Israel? Basically, is the Holy Spirit of YHWH an Israelite?😒

3. Answer the question asked. When you enter into a service agreement with, say, your phone company, does your phone company depend on you to solve its problems, or do you depend on the phone company to solve your concerns, complaints, etc? 😒

AntiChristian:
➜At least they were able to propose authors for them which fits in somehow and were acceptable by most! And of course there's no evidence on who is truly the author of most of the books as you said. It's mostly about faith!
➜ Hebrews has always being a stand out dispute!

1. Nonsense! Proposing authors centuries later does not change the fact that the identity of the author remains unknown. My question remains: What is your particular obsession with the identity of the author of that particular book when the authors of the other books are not really known? 😒

2. Stand out dispute? The book uses a tremendous amount of figurative speech to confuse a whole load of people. Is that why you insist then that it is a standout dispute, suggesting then that the identity of the writer becomes important by that? Is that what you are attempting to claim here? 😒

AntiChristian:
➜But it is agreed that the Torah was revealed to Moses and not written by him of his own accord!
➜ Did Moses write "Pharaoh" while YHWH revealed "King"?

1. Agreed by whom? Not written by him of his own accord? Moses was commanded by YHWW, time and time again, to write all he saw and was told in the book of the Law. So, who agreed that he disobeyed the commandment from YHWH? 😒

2. You would need to ask Moses that question. The commandment to write the stories of the Israelites came at the time of Moses, not at the time of Joseph, which was about 300 -400 years later. 😒

AntiChristian:
➜No, God has three persons according to the trinitarian dogma! The father, son and the Holy Spirit. How many of the Prophets before Jesus preached God as being three distinct persons but one?

In the Old Covenant, we read repeatedly of the Spirit of YHWH supposedly coming down to dwell with men even as YHWH Himself remained in His domain above. The Spirit did the Will of YHWH yet was able to remain and animate humans even as YHWH remained far from them. Was this not the case? From Genesis Chapter 1- 3, this much we are informed of. Yes? 😒

mysticwarrior:
He explained it in an understandable terms that should be clearly understood and you are still asking him How

My asking questions suggests that I don't believe what he wrote is not clearly understood by me. 🥱🥱🥱
