AbuTwins:
In the Bible, there are verses that condemn specific practices related to child sacrifice and idolatry.
But how will God then sacrifice his own son in vicarious atonement again?

So, where exactly is it written that the God of Israel — YHWH— sacrificed His son? Let's start with that first.

Baatunde:
■ Yes sir, you have answered the question yourself. The Bible was supposed to be inspired by God, so why he would inspire two authors to write different things about the same people. If only we all can agree that the writers were simply doing their best with the information available to them and leave out the inspiration business. Also even if his genealogy was to be traced and I agree with you it should be through his mother, curiously Mary's name is missing in any of the two account.
■ Surely people inspired by God should write what is TRUE and NOT what they think people want to hear.....

RIght there in the first few statements lies the major problem with your assessment of details contained in the book. You assume in error that the word Inspired connotes True, when in fact the dictionary gives a different idea.

in·spire
1. fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
"his passion for romantic literature inspired him to begin writing"
▶ create (a feeling, especially a positive one) in a person.
"their past record does not inspire confidence"
▶ animate someone with (such a feeling).
"he inspired his students with a vision of freedom"
▶ give rise to.

Inspire does not mean same as True.

2. That is a rubbish notion spun instead from the minds of deluded religionists who impose what are damaged ideologies fed to them by men which they refer to as interpretations in between the lines of what is instead written in Scripture.

The book contains the very words of the one who is tagged a liar from the beginning — the devil. That ought to inform anyone with a mind of his or her own that what that means is that not all that is contained in the pages of Scripture can be, or should be, considered True.

I wish to have kids at early age. I have my own business,If I decide to marry right now now I can take care of the family alone but I have important things I want to do like building my own house.. We don't have a family house in my village. Building house is not easy especially in this present economy. If I can continue with the current pace in my business right now without problem, I can build the house in next 3 to 5 years.
I know I'm still young but when I see people who started family very early I wish I could do the same but I don't want to start what I cannot finish. I know marriage is not easy and requires maturity from both parties.. For me, I'm 28 but I can say I'm more matured than average.. I'm not making mouth 😊.. Age is not a measurement for maturity. I just can't get off the thought of having my own kid before 30 😢Did you marry before 30? What was your experience ?Where you financially stable? What's your advice?
I wish this can be moved to front page 🙏

Building a house is not easy in this economy but you think raising kids is?

And many here like to hate on me for declaring Nigerian parents as some of the worst in the world.

Pussyisgud:
■ You made a lot of sense, i don't know if you have watched the movie "captain fantastic" it shows how forked up the society is.

I just read the review. It sounds like just what OP and his father need to sit down together and watch. It may help them finally realize — can't believe why it has taken many so very long — in 2024 the foolishness of that zero-emotions/zero-weaknesses bullsheet that Africans tend to pride themselves on.

It has been added to my must-see list for this weekend.

LiveWire85:
■ Watching my father daily has made me realize that the hardest thing about being a man is the fact that nobody really cares about you, because they think you ought to be man enough to handle every jab life throws at you.
■ You are allowed to show zero emotions and no weakness. you are only relevant and seen as man enough when you shoulder everything even if it kills you in silence.
■ I really pray God strengthens and comforts every good man out there. That's why we have to support them the best way we can.

That has absolutely nothing to do with being a man. There are men out there who are loved and cared for by members of their own family. It all depends on the way you position yourself. If you wish to be treated like one who does not deserve care from others, then you will do everything to get just that. What you mostly put in is what you get in return. This isn't about gender really but about the choices an individual makes. The likely reason your father isn't being cared for by those in his family probably has a lot to do with him playing man of the house as opposed to being member of the family like everyone else.

2. All that macho nonsense only matters in the heads of those who hold such delusions. Go out there and see the number of homes where women bear the bulk of the responsibilities in their homes. They don't do it with zero emotions and no weaknesses. There are men out there who are emotionally intelligent beings --- at home with their emotions, even around their family --- and are equally loved and cared for and respected by those in their homes at that. So what benefit is this zero-emotions and zero-weakness stance you claim makes one a man ? What is it based on? That there seems nothing but a quick ticket to the grave for the foolish!

3. God has nothing to do with these human delusions abeg!

kkins25:
Confront him, and hear what he has to say. If he does justify his silly actions, better start looking for plan D (divorce). Na man wey no rate you be that. He's now forming "head of house" like say na only him contribute the money.....
That's betrayal, ma. serious betrayal..

Na wa oo! Person don dey betray OP right from first property sef — all property wey dem both contribute buy for Nigeria dey only him name— but see as she dey here here dey talk love and trust. 😁

■ It's obvious you're mistaking marriage for wedding. Marriage is not an event (court wedding, traditional wedding or religion wedding.)

See this one and African fraud mentality, dribbling himself thinking he is dribbling another!

Barteze:
■ Hmm, I wonder who signed for the previous generations (forefathers) or the rural dwellers and they are in their millions or is their marriage not valid?

Um...So, it never occurred to you even till now that your ancestors who came up with what you consider your traditional marriage laws were the then government over the people? 😁😁😁😁😁

Barteze:
■ Guy pls heed my advice leave marriage mata for now. Whose law are you talking about government laws? Marriage is not a creation of the government.

See the mind of an African fraudster! Marriage was not created by the government yet when you got to marry, you took your relationship which you had to the government to sign papers to certify it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dcass:
I lost everyone and everything dearest to me I lost my husband I lost my kid I lost my phone
And am suffering too harsh the condition is going to end me too. I Don't want to die in silence that is why I said I should talk to somebody.
Am starving help me.

Where are your parents and/or your relatives?

Barteze:
■ Marriage a business? Abeg carry ur infantile argument go front when u grow can start dabbling into marriage discussions because marriage is for grown ups.

Even your very laws establish marriage as a contract/agreement between a man and a woman. Ideally, both partners in the agreement are meant to coexist as equals, but in the name of tradition(a form of religion in itself), some adopt an unequal union for reasons best known to them. That, however, does not change the fact of marriage in any way or form. Afterall, even a master/slave union is based on a contract/agreement between both partners. 😂😂😂😂

Barteze:
■ I will like to know your own thoughts or truth

There is no place for love in business. These two agreed to become business partners. For her husband to think it then OK to cheat her out of her right as a business partner means he does not value her as an individual and a business partner. Would he think to try that nonsense if he were in business with his father, sister, or even brother— all of them equally family members?

Barteze:
Once a man gets married everything he has whether gotten before the marriage or while married belongs to his wife too. But I can understand the lady's fear the level of entitlement of Nigerians these days especially family members is out of this world.

Stop telling these lies!

cococandy:
I promise you that man knows. That’s his intention

What about the woman? Why would or does she not know this too?

JB0707:
My husband and I both live in the uk and we join all our money and investments together, all the properties my husband acquired in Nigeria doesn’t have my name on it, at first I wasn’t bothered but now i am bothered because his family is chaotic. I started asking for my name to be included and i am not ok with the response am getting. I feel i am just working and I have nothing in my name. I love him but I don’t trust his family. Should i keep insisting or start my investment separately. I am just confused

Maybe your husband loves and trusts you too much and it is for that reason that he didn't see fit to include your name as part owner on any of the properties. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine this one trying to mix "love" and business as if that ever makes sense!

Ubenedictus:
∆ However, if you think anyone who talks to those who are alive with God but nolonger on earth are necromancers, then maybe you wish to accuse Jesus of necromancy since he was busy talking to Moses.

According to Jesus Christ, God --- YHWH -- is God of the living and not God of the dead. Moses is instead among those who sleep in their graves.

P.S. Not interested in holding brief for anyone here.

Sheggy13:
A 40-year with 12 children already shows an irresponsible person whose life revolves around sex only. It's only expected that such a nuisance will have to die through sex.

Sex is not the problem at all. There are people out there with body counts as large as their bank accounts who have not even one kid to show for it. An individual who has nothing to his name yet proceeds to have 12 children is just plain evil.

uuzba:
The problem with poverty is that that it also affects the mind.
If the mind is empty of ideas, then the next thing is to start frolicking with women, leading to more and more children and more and more poverty. Yes, one may run out of cash in life, but that is not poverty if one's mind is still positive and active for fresh ideas.

So many people out there frolicked without a single child resulting from it all. These people are instead wicked entities in human flesh.

DJInfluence:
How many rounds defines a romp?

LOL.... good question! Chances are the man may have dropped even before the first round.

McLizbae:
4 is much. A poor man should not have more than 1 kid.

Tell them abeg! However, way too many of them are just plain wicked!

"Every person will be resurrected in the same state he died in." He signifies individuals not they!

Again, this post here is yours, not mine!

■ It is! You were thinking he'll be raised doing the action with the same girl right? No! The girl may repent and be forgiven before she dies! Everyone will be judged On Your Own!

AbuTwins:
■ Yes, the Title God Said He Is Not A Man So When Did He Change?
■ Yeah as Muslims we believe this but subject to interpretation. The Prophet’s words, “Adam was created in His image” means that Allah created Adam in His image, for He has a face, an eye, a hand, and a foot, and Adam had a face, an eye, a hand, and a foot… but that does not mean that these things are exactly the same. There is some similarity, but it is not exactly the same. There is actually no one like Allah or comparable unto Him!

Well, like I said, your OP is wrong! Elohim is recorded to have created man in His image from the very beginning. Nothing of that fact changed even after Balaam made His very first statement regarding the person of who God is apart from man's lies and ever-changing mind.

2. Well, from this you can see that Elohim has nothing in common with the Muslim Allah!

AbuTwins:
■ That will be on Judgement day! It won't be a worldly image anymore! But that will surely happen!

Adultery in action is not a worldly image.

That makes no sense! How can a person be resurrected as an adulterer in action? The woman he bedded probably bedded many other men. So how would that "in action" happen? Or Will he have a sign on his forehead saying "Adulterer" or what? If yes, in what language?

Onyiiobi7735:
Irresponsible father of 12 gone to account for his life on earth before his Maker.Only God knows the magnitude of the shame and stigma that would be upon the unfortunate family of the man. People would be definitely mocking the children, calling them children of an ashawo man, whose father died in an ashawo house. Some men are just too stupid to know the consequences of their actions on their immediate families.

The woman who had 12 kids for the man dey more responsible?

AbuTwins:
■ My OP claims God is not a man!
■ God creating man in His image does not equal God becoming man!

Well, your OP isn't quite accurate at all given that each of the statements referenced points out particular aspects of men that are not found in God.

2. Indeed! Man(Adam) was created as an image of God and not God!

AbuTwins:
■ So i asked what Image does your own version of God have? We have thousands images of man nowadays!

LOL....You are informed that man was made in the image of Elohim and Elohim certified the original product as good by His standard. Accept that at least, and then go from there to search for answers to this other question you have. Your OP claims Elohim cannot come in the likelihood of a man, but here is a passage telling you that ain't true at all. Do you accept it or do you not? That is the issue here.

Tellmeastory:
■ You have obviously never stepped foot in a Nigerian international airport, or you would know that THOUSANDS of foreigners troop into Nigeria EVERY SINGLE DAY. Air Peace flight from Mumbai to Lagos, https://nairametrics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/20210102_124340.jpg

A plane full of men of arab/Indian descent ---all probably here to work and take back to India or wherever they came from--- is your idea of foreigners trooping into Nigeria for medical treatment? Yikes!

Nigerians! Who do una this sheet!

AbuTwins:
■ Yes! Do you not answer question based on what is asked?

One thing I have learned to be the case with religious folks, is that they rarely answer questions based on what is asked just as they seldom process information presented as-is. And you are no different I am afraid. It is almost some sort of compulsion with you religious people.

The passage in Genesis 2 indicates, in clear speak, that indeed, Elohim was able to create man in His image. But, you can't have it that way, can you? Your religious ideas won't let you accept that because it all has to be twisted in the light of the ideas you already come preprogrammed with, right?

AbuTwins:
∆I answer questions based on what is asked!
And i am a Muslim.

Based on what is asked? Ha! 😆
