➜Not every nation is a kingdom. Nationhood can exist conceptually even without borders. For an example in modern times see the Kurdish people. They are a nation of people who don't have a country of their own
➜ So answer the question I asked or are you a Coward in addition to having a low IQ? .WHO IS SOLOMON PRAYING FOR HERE? WHO ARE THESE FOREIGNERS?
1 Kings 8:41-43 (Solomon’s Dedication Prayer)
"As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name—for they will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name."

1. What in the world is this for now? The original Nation of Israel began as a nation without a formal(human) king hence it was not a Kingdom. The monarchy was requested and arrived with the announcement of Saul as the first king of Israel.

Did this United Kingdom of Israel — the people had not even reached the land of Canaan which was their promised land/nation at the time in question and the Law was to be ratified much later on — officially exist at the time that YHWH — God of Israel — gave the prophecy in Deuteronomy 28 -30?

BlackViper:
➜ Did the 12 tribes of Israel exist as a nation before they had a kingdom? You probably don't know the answer to that question so I'll answer it for you: YES
➜ So answer the question and stop playing hide and seek. WHO ARE THE FOREIGNERS IN[b]1 Kings 8:41-43 (Solomon’s Dedication Prayer)?

WHO ARE THE FOREIGNERS THAT SOLOMON WAS PRAYING FOR?

1. A country without a land border of its very own? Interesting assertion!

➜Easy put: you will abandon their teachings and start afresh with the Bible.

Have you abandoned their teachings when the bulk of what you still hold on to comes from the tales fed to you by them?

➜At the time of 1 Kings 8:41-43 (Solomon’s Dedication Prayer) "As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name—for they will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place.

Did we have a United Kingdom of Israel or had they been scattered at the time Solomon said this prayer?
Take your time....

➜If you're objective or sensible, you would reason that the basic quality of sentience and rationality is the capacity to belief and disbelief. In other words: Any human is capable of believing anything. So where does "dogs" and whatnots fall in if at all you are requested to debunk that assertion?

What in the world is this drivel meant for?

BlackViper:
➜Good! You fell into my trap like the clueless buffoon I know you are!
So now that we agree that the Northern Kingdom arose LATER in time, who was King Solomon referring to here:
1 Kings 8:41-43 (Solomon’s Dedication Prayer)
"As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name—for they will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name."
This was during King Solomon's dedication of the Temple to the Lord.
➜ So who are the foreigners that King Solomon was praying forin 1st Kings 8: 41 to 43 and asking God to hear their prayers when they come to the Temple to pray? Let me grab my 🍿 🍿 🍿 popcorn and wait for the latest entertainment from you😁

You have never read the Book of the Law of Moses have you where YHWH — God of Israel, have you? You have never read of YHWH's curses which were eventually carried out against both the Nations of Israel

Read the books of the Laws and you might just realize that Solomon merely restated the information that YHWH — God of Israel — had previously stated in His Law of Moses to the people of Israel, information that was to take place. And it did no thanks to the antics of the same Solomon.

63 “The Lord was happy to be good to you and to make your nation grow. In the same way, the Lord will be happy to ruin and destroy you. You are going to take that land to be yours. But people will take you out of that land!
64 The Lord will scatter you among all the people in the world. He will scatter you from one end of the earth to the other. There you will serve false gods made of wood and stone. They are false gods that you or your ancestors never worshiped.
65 “You will not have any peace among these nations. You will have no place to rest. The Lord will fill your mind with worry. Your eyes will feel tired. You will be very upset.
66 You will live with danger and always be afraid. You will be afraid night and day. You will never feel sure about your life.
67 In the morning you will say, ‘I wish it were evening!’ In the evening you will say, ‘I wish it were morning!’ This will happen because of the fear in your heart and the terrible things you will see.
68 The Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships. I said you would never have to go to that place again, but he will send you there. In Egypt you will try to sell yourselves as slaves to your enemies, but no one will buy you.” - Deuteronomy 28 vs 63 - 68

Continued in Deuteronomy 29 -30.

➜Most Christians don't know what they're made up of. When you start looking up to fellow goofy humans (pastors, priests, prophets), you will lose that divine touch of the Spirit.

Divine touch of which spirit? Would that be the very spirits those same fellow goofy humans fed you ideas of or some other spirits?

➜.. that whatever he does, they can do more. After his demise, a believe system was founded around him. Why today's believers not accept that they can consciously visit the heavens just as teachings like Bhudism, Sufism, Eckankar, Sikhism and even Science (Remote Viewing) claims is possible?

A belief system founded by those whom Jesus Christ of Israel said were dogs and could not have that which is Holy— of Him and His Father? What makes those belief systems anything about Him if He, while alive, disavowed every such system? Are you OK?

➜For me, I know my wife. She's a very good Nigerian wife. She's perfect for me. I give her no stress, but I'm certain she has the traits of not being so nice if we move to a country like UK where a woman was in charge as a Queen (bless her lovely soul) for several decades. I rather visit and come back than risk my marriage and our happiness going to the UK. Most of my friends have relocated, but I won't relocate. I want to stay happy with her forever in this country. UK is not for us. Mek my wife no go become wetin she no know. I know my wife and I know myself. We will visit on holidays and come back. FULLSTOP.

What you saying is that you are certain that your marriage cannot stand the test of relocation because Nigeria— and the chaotic system it contains — is the only reason why you have it. That one na marriage abi na managed circumstance?

➜ So you don't even know that Samaria was the Capital City of the 10 Northern tribes which they created after they broke away from the 2 Southern tribes of Benjamin and Judah?😂 Mogbe! So this is the kind of ignorant fool that Nairaland produces?
➜ Also, Jesus NEVER referred to Gentiles as dogs my dear abomination in human form. You're obviously talking about Matthew 15:26. "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs" .....

1. That fact that Samaria was the capital city of the nation of Israel that was created after the death of Solomon(a fact I pointed out in a previous post to you...

Kobojunkie:
I am not into deciphering Scriptures. Rather, I try to help you realize the original message intended by the authors.
Here are some facts to help you comprehend the message in that passage, not just that verse you lifted there.
⚉ In 1 Kings 12, we learn that the original nation of Israel was later on divided into two different nations by YHWH— God of Israel— with 10 of the 12 tribes of former Israel forming the main of Israel while the nation of Judah was formed by the leftover tribes— Judah & Benjamin. The capital city of the created Israel was Samaria while that of Judah was Jerusalem.

...— DOES NOT give meaning to the expression the 10 Northern Tribes of Samaria which you included in your last post, in the same way, that the expression Jerusalem tribes of the Southern nation would also have no real meaning.

2. You seem to be having a terrible time comprehending the statements relayed to you so far. Jesus Christ of Israel indeed never referred to the Gentiles as dogs because the Gentiles are not the dogs. Gentiles are Israelites whereas dogs are non-Israelites. This is the basis of this entire argument but you remain confused for reasons unknown to me. If you have yet to grasp this simple fact, then I wonder what in the world your arguing has all this while been for.

BlackViper:
➜Firstly, of course you're not into deciphering Scripture because you lack knowledge since you are condemned. The Church refers to people like you and your MOOSLIME friends as perditissimi
➜I'm not going to explain the meaning of that word to you. LOOK IT UP😁 Secondly, if the word Gentile means dispersed members of the 10 Northern Tribes of Samaria,
➜ explain the meaning of this Scripture: Why did the Holy Spirit do this? Take your time and read carefully because this one will give you a brain aneurysm😂

1. Jesus Christ of Israel referred to non-Israelites as dogs and warned that they had absolutely no capacity to handle that which is Holy(of YHWH, God of Israel). Your religion as well as that of the Muslims was established by the dogs, so it is no wonder that your ideas regarding even that plainly contained in the book cannot be reasonably of YHWH.

2. Northern tribes of Samaria, ke?

3. The clue you seek is contained in the passage which tells you that the man had gone to Jerusalem to worship... meaning the man must have been an Israelite. Israelites(of the 12 tribes)— both exiled and none— were the only ones who went to Jerusalem and were allowed into the Temple to worship.

➜I'm loving this! This type of supreme stupidity is rare and should be appreciated😂😂😂
Let me goad you into further displays of ignorance. What does this Scripture mean:😁
Acts 13:46
"Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: 'We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.'"
Paul explicitly states that because the Jews rejected the message, he and Barnabas would preach to the Gentiles instead.

I am not into deciphering Scriptures. Rather, I try to help you realize the original message intended by the authors.

Here are some facts to help you comprehend the message in that passage, not just that verse you lifted there.
⚉ In 1 Kings 12, we learn that the original nation of Israel was later on divided into two different nations by YHWH— God of Israel— with 10 of the 12 tribes of former Israel forming the main of Israel while the nation of Judah was formed by the leftover tribes— Judah & Benjamin. The capital city of the created Israel was Samaria while that of Judah was Jerusalem.
⚉ In 1 Kings 12 vs 31, because Jeroboam, King of the new Israel did not honor God's agreement, the tribe of Levi eventually moved to their sister nation of Judah— the nation is the nation known in Scripture as the Jewish nation.
⚉ The nation of Isreal was later destroyed by YHWH — God of Israel —, the people sent into exile rendering them Gentiles(they no longer lived in their homeland). This took place around 720 BC as prophesied by Prophet Isaiah, Amos, etc.
⚉ By the time that Jesus Christ of Isreal was born into the nation of Judah — a Jew of the Jewish nation called Judah— the population of Judah boasted of persons from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Levi, and also Samaritans(exiles from the nation of Israel i.e. some from the other 9 tribes of Israel).

---

Paul was a Benjamite, while Barnabas was a Levite, both of them citizens of the Jewish nation of Judah. When Paul and Barnabas told you they would then turn their preaching to the Gentiles, what they meant was that they would go to the people of the other 9 tribes of Israel — also of the family of Isreal.

Which heaven? You are all headed into the heaven created by your pastors. All that money you donate to them is to build their kingdoms here on earth for their entire congregation, I would hope. So, be sure to get your iron-clad entry ticket from them for when your time comes to not be left outside of your church's version of heaven when the time comes.

➜Some believe that once saved, always saved, while others argue that a believer can fall away. Hebrews 6:4-6 warns about those who “were once enlightened” but later fall away. Yet, John 10:28 says no one can snatch believers from Christ’s hand. So, is salvation permanent, or can it be lost through sin and unbelief?
The Bible also speaks of enduring in faith until the end (Matthew 24:13) and warns against backsliding (2 Peter 2:20-22). Some say these verses refer to those who were never truly saved, while others argue they prove a believer can turn away and forfeit salvation. If salvation is eternal, why do scriptures warn about falling away? But if it can be lost, does that mean salvation depends on human effort? What do you think?

What proof/evidence does this Christian have that he/she indeed has or had this salvation element, to begin with? Let's start there. You can only lose/or not lose what you are certain you first had. What tangible proof — beyond mental delusions— is there of this salvation in the life of this Christian?

➜I'd advice you go back and study your biology well before you come here to show your ignorance.
1. Why are men generally bigger than women
2. Why are the stronger and more muscular
3. Why are men biologically created to be active year round but there are times women aren't like during pregnancy?
4 why do men have broader voice for dominance?
Everything in a mans body exudes dominance even their beards and Adams apple, while everything in a woman shows feminine energy.
Even ppl in fashion knew (before wokeness came) that that's why men wear freer cloths like free trousers, shirts, no makeups flat shoes etc every cloth was designed so that men can be free and keep going. while women wear high heels, skirts, tighter jeans, blouse, make ups etc.
People on NL are known to be ignorant and loud at the same time but this one is a stretch

So, in your own biology, the bigger an animal is, the more dominance it ought to have? Why then do gorillas, cows, elephants, and even whales not dominate you? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

➜So who is being referenced here in Isaiah 9:6? Who is this prophecy referring to?
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

But this prophecy does not concern you, a Nigeria, with no blood ties or relations with the people it was given to?

1. But there will be an end to the gloom those people suffered. In the past, people thought the land of Zebulun and Naphtali was not important. But later, that land will be honored—the land along the sea, the land east of the Jordan River, and Galilee where people from other nations live.
2 Those people lived in darkness, but they will see a great light. They lived in a place as dark as death, but a great light will shine on them.
3 God, you will make the nation grow, and you will make the people happy. They will rejoice in your presence as they do at harvest time. It will be like the joy when people take their share of things they have won in war.
4 That will happen because you will lift the heavy yoke off their shoulders and take away their heavy burden. You will take away the rod that the enemy used to punish your people, as you did when you defeated Midian.
5 Every boot that marched in battle and every uniform stained with blood will be destroyed and thrown into the fire.
6 This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be “Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.”
7 His power will continue to grow, and there will be peace without end. This will establish him as the king sitting on David’s throne and ruling his kingdom. He will rule with goodness and justice forever and ever. The strong love[b] that the Lord All-Powerful has for his people will make this happen! - Isaiah 9 vs 1 - 7

You are not one of the people or the "us" referred to in the passage, so why do you care? Why not equally busy yourself quoting the prophecies given by the priestesses of Delphi and other deities as though they pertain to you?

➜Sometimes I wonder how these guys become rich over night.I really want to know the secret behind this. I have a neighbor back then. I have a course mate we did ND together. Within few years after 3 to 4 years. I heard this guy don blow.
Bought cars and houses over Nigeria. I went to his social Media and I can fathom his source of his income. Sometimes I begin to wonder how people become rich over night. Some people will say work hard. Which work hard. A civil servant that earn 100k a month , It will take him 15 to 20 years of his salary to build a house and people will say work hard. No rich men on earth made his money through legit ways. Let us stop deceiving ourself here

You only need to do some investigating of your own to learn the truth behind his newfound wealth. And yes, in Nigeria, it is most likely not from a reputable source.

➜Anything wey make she accept to date you, bro you have automatically adopt an orphan. My advice for you is to date a working class lady at Least you won’t have to shoulder all her responsibilities.

Is the lady the problem here or is OP's savior complex which seems to trigger serious panic attacks in him at this point? Op is clearly not in need of a woman, but some serious mental health therapy to help him realize that he is not meant to be a savior for any woman. Once that is resolved, he will be better able to go about choosing the right woman, and yes, a woman with work of her own who would not need to depend on him sounds like a better option.

ucheagu:
OK I know you people will come out to attack me acting all holy and complete but I will take the few advice that I find informative.. OK the problem here is I find that at first when am with a lady it is all fun and interesting but when I get to know who you are and maybe feel like am developing feelings for you it become scaring...the thought of solving her problems become intense and then I break... I run away and it kind of scary not now but in the future because I feel like nothing will change if I don't try to change it now
So how can I balance this, so that in the future I will be ready... Because last last man need woman to trust and love

Solving her proving? What do you think you are.... some sort of savior to women? This delusion of sorts seems to be the cause of your relationship anxiety. First, you will need to work on yourself. Make an appointment with a professional mental health therapist as soon as you can, and stick to prescribed treatment to ensure you can either get over the problem or learn how to better cope with your core issues.
