■ the bible says honour your mother and father long and you live long she honoured her parents even to the extent of sending her mother abroad for holidays three times looking after her mother in illness and just honouring her parents generally yet she died young of cancer? my pain is that my mother suffered to raise her kids but before she could reap fruits of her labour, she died what is all this

What the "Bible", or better yet, God of Israel said, to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan as part of the National Constitution of the Nation of Isreal which He constituted of them, is that they should honor their father and their mother so that their days may be long in the land of Canaan which He gave to their fathers. God of Israel did not give that same commandment to Nigerians living in Nigeria, nor did He give that commandment to even Israelites outside of that territory. To top it off, God of Israel, not only destroyed His Nation of Israel around the year 720BC, but He also destroyed the sister nation, Judah, beginning around 70 AD, after He had judged and scattered all of the people of Israel abroad. That meant that under the Law all of Israel were cursed and nothing good could come to them from remaining under the Law.

So, whatever happened to this person you speak of has absolutely nothing to do with the God of Israel or His commandments of the Old. And no, God does not have mercy on those who ignorantly bow to lies in His name.

Please Nairalander I need help o, is there a way for somebody to start learning how to have patience. it seems I'm the impatient type of person and I don't like it because it's making me loose a lot of things, your advice and help will be appreciated.
Tell me what to do when the impatientness starts coming in. Any good points of how to learn how to be patient will be appreciated. And being impatient is making me lazy, depressed and frustrating.

If impatience is the problem then you need to learn to slow down and train yourself to act only at the right time. The same way you train yourself to do anything else — self-discipline— is the very same way you overcome almost any behavioral problem you may have. Slow yourself down as much as is necessary to catch your movements before the problem sets in and change the course of your thinking at that moment in a direction different from what you would regularly do.

■it is basically the aim of Christianity to become a one world religion by 'making disciples of all nations'. ■ heaven also is like a one-world religion. only one form of worship and no divisions nor contradictions.
■ are Christians declaring that they can't and won't ever succeed in carrying out the great commission?

Christianity as it exists today is comprised of over 47,000 sects/cults/denominations, all of which lay claim to their version of doctrines and traditions, and equally claim that their version/idol of Jesus Christ is the right one. Of course, none of the over 47,000 idols come anywhere close to the true picture of the person of Jesus Christ recorded in the Gospels. So, how can such a predicament called Christianity seek or become a one-world religion? Which of the over 47,000 denominations would benefit at that point?

2. Heaven, as explained by Jesus Christ in Scripture, is far from what anyone would call a one-world religion. There is only one Law in Heaven and the same Law is Jesus Christ — He is absolute.

3. When you view Christianity for the political system that it is after all, you would immediately understand why religion will never succeed with such a goal.

LordIsaac:
■ Even if it were, Jesus Christ Himself said we would do greater works than Him. That’s besides the point. The point is, stop picking Peter and Paul from the Bible- you are falling into a dangerous trap! The Bible is one…read it and believe in it like a little child…it’s all you need to see God’s Kingdom.

You are told there are faults with the claims contained in the letters of Peter and Paul that potentially attempt to override the Law of God Himself. Rather than approach the supposed faults, your advice is that people continue to turn a blind eye to them. Are you people sane at all?

aariwa:
why don’t you guys vilify Regina daniels like you doing to Judy austen? Are they both not second wives? The only offense Yul committed and Nigerian women kept attacking him is because he is not as rich as Ned Nwoko

The man just confessed Judy is not a second wife at all but a baby mama/joke. Wetin you dey argue again?

Metrofox:
■ Solomon is also not standard right?

Just curious, are you referring to Solomon who ended up an idol worshipper and died never doing what God commanded of Him, or another one? Where exactly did God stipulate that men be standards for other men, aside from His Law, that is?

Neptunium:
■ Ahh ahnn, wetin na? I'm allowed to respond to threads the same way you are. It's called freedom of speech, auntie. You're always hot-headed on threads, policing people's comments like say people's matters concern you. All i did was ask a question. She ain't gotta do nothing she don't want to.

I am just concerned that OP, already depressed by it all, may find herself obsessing over things that she should not even concern herself with at all.

Nothing good comes from a woman obsessing over the woman her husband is cheating on her with— absolutely nothing — particularly in Nigeria where the law provides the woman not much say in these cases. I have seen how that bug causes Nigerian women to turn into monsters, some shadows of their former selves, all to defend or try to save what is a failed marriage. (Once a partner resorts to cheating over extended periods without even a pause for air, that marriage, is failed since marriage is meant to be built, every moment of it, on the agreement between a man and a woman.) Enter any one church in Nigeria and you will find it is filled with women, blinded by what is no longer love but obsessive behavior, all praying and fasting, in bitterness, for their failed marriages to be resurrected. OP's focus should be on one thing and one thing only and that is coming up with enough money to escape the side-show of a marriage she has been enduring for over 6 years now.

■ Going by your assertion, can we say that the bible isnt worthy to be called the word of God? Are you saying the bible is a story book with make up? Or its just overrated?

None of those who lived during the time of the writing of Scripture, until the end of the first century ever referred to Scripture as the Word of God. The one is instead referred to as the Word of God in Scripture is Jesus Christ, this is what is contained within the pages of the books of Scripture. However, ever since the end of the Last days of God's judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah) in the land of Canaan, the religion of Christianity, a religion removed from Jesus Christ's actual teachings and commandments has been desperately trying to take the title away from Jesus Christ and giving it instead to their particular collection of books of Scripture.

Neptunium:
■ Where did i say it matters ? If he fathered kids outside her marriage, it's an important information she should know as it would let her know how best to move foward with her n her kids. It wouldn't excuse or justify him cheating or committing adultery

What has A to do with B? Why are you desperate to cause this woman to go chasing after shadows she need not concern herself with? What else? Should she also conduct DNA tests on all kids had by his many baby mamas abi wetin? Abeg, make una release OP so she can focus on her own life and wellbeing o'jare! Those women, and their children, no be her concern at all.

BareFacedLies:
If handle this lady in bed that nonsense spirit of lesbianism will leave her body immediately

You no shame! This lady will likely do you and your girlfriends together. Nonsense!

Neptunium:
What is his obsession with her? How many kids does she have? Could it be that he fathered her kids?

Why should any of that matter to her?

Uzorbaby, run thousands of miles from those who tell you to pray about any of this.

This person you call your spouse has continuously cheated on you for 6 straight years because he has intended to cheat on you for 6 years straight. There are no magical powers or spirits behind his cheating. He is a cheater and no one, not even his father or his mother, can be blamed for his cheating. You need to honestly accept this fact so that you never again fall prey to such individuals in a relationship or marriage. At this point in your emotional growth, your mind is trying to reconcile your mind and your reality.

The best you can do for yourself is proceed honestly and that means accepting the facts as they present themself to you. Don't try to minimize or justify any of what your husband has done or continues to do. Simply accept it as his honest contribution to the marriage between you so you can honestly decide for yourself what you deserve and need to do next.

Babinski:
∆ When you are cohabiting with a woman, did customary marriage with her evidenced by pictures from the event, start performing husband and wife duties and even having babies together, then it has clearly gone beyond skit. Don't think the Court is managed by fools and gullible people.

The man talk say no be second wife him get. No court can force marriage when there is no agreement.

This is why religion is nothing but a pain in the arse. Imagine grown men reasoning worse than tadpoles about what is plainly written and communicated.

Uzorbaby:
∆ Good evening house, I opened a new account for this issues. This is my ninth years in marriage with 3 kids and since the third year till now the problem I keep having with my husband is infidelity, when ever I catch him he apologises but still continues. Recently I found out he is into a single mother who claim to be a deconess and he opened a business for her and doesn't feel apologetic about it, this same lady when I had not discovered their affairs he sends her his last card and begs me for money. He calls her everyday , video calls her and sends her money frequently.right now I feel faustrated and depressed. I will really love to leave him and rent a house close to my shop but the amount to do that will greatly affect my business if I do that because I just started it 3 months ago. I just need someone I can talk to, gist about normal stuff of life so that my mind can move away from him pending when I will be able to rent a house. I just want to be happy

Whatever you do, do not concern yourself with the women because they aren't the ones who broke your trust. Your husband is the retard who not only disrespected you but also reduced your marriage agreement to nothing but a sideshow. Since you already endured for over 6 years, why not endure a bit longer so you can save up the money you need to help you continue life outside of this disrespectful union you call a marriage that you have been living with?

Orinechi:
∆ What punishment does adultery attract according to Nigerian law?

Don't just assume these things. Check the law to realize why the rich, in Nigeria, backed by their good lawyers are able to use that code against spouses they wish to get rid of.

Beautifulday:
Who knows the answer?

There are no prophets. Jesus Christ told you in His Gospel that He was the last of all the Prophets sent from God, the Father.

Alphanancy:
She is not suing for bigamy. She is filing for a divorce and pressing charges against Judy for adultery. She is a smart woman.

And the dufus just gave her what to use against him.

I came cross 1cor 11::5 which left me short of words this morning and juxterposing it with the old testament leaves my short of words on the fact most pentecostal church including mine. It's there another angle to this?

This happens to be another one of the claims in Paul's letters that directly contravenes Jesus Christ who instead said in His Gospel that all men and women are equal and that He alone is Head/Master over those who belong to Him - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10.

1 Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ. Being Under Authority
2 I praise you because you remember me in all things. You follow closely the teachings I gave you.
3 But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Christ. And the head of a woman is the man.[a] And the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man who prophesies or prays with his head covered brings shame to his head.
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies should have her head covered. If her head is not covered, she brings shame to her head. Then she is the same as a woman who has her head shaved.
6 If a woman does not cover her head, it is the same as cutting off all her hair. But it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or to shave her head. So she should cover her head.
7 But a man should not cover his head, because he is made like God and is God’s glory. But woman is man’s glory.
8 Man did not come from woman. Woman came from man.
9 And man was not made for woman. Woman was made for man.
10 So that is why a woman should have her head covered with something that shows she is under authority. Also, she should do this because of the angels.
11 But in the Lord the woman needs the man, and the man needs the woman.
12 This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman. Really, everything comes from God.
13 Decide this for yourselves: Is it right for a woman to pray to God without something on her head?
14 Even nature itself teaches you that wearing long hair is shameful for a man.
15 But wearing long hair is a woman’s honor. Long hair is given to the woman to cover her head.
16 Some people may still want to argue about this. But we and the churches of God don’t accept what those people are doing. - 1 Corinthians 11 vs 1 - 16

Counter to that laid down in the Gospels by the one whom Paul claims here is the authority over him, Paul seems to declare that he, Paul, opposes the ideas set down by Jesus Christ in regards to
● Jesus Christ's ruling that He alone is the only authority over even the women in His flock
● Jesus Christ's ruling that all men and women are governed by the same rules in the Kingdom of God.

8 “But you must not be called ‘Teacher.’ You are all equal as brothers and sisters. You have only one Teacher.
9 And don’t call anyone on earth ‘Father.’ You have one Father. He is in heaven.
10 And you should not be called ‘Master.’ You have only one Master, the Messiah.
11 Whoever serves you like a servant is the greatest among you.
12 People who think they are better than others will be made humble. But people who humble themselves will be made great. - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 12

● Jesus Christ's ruling that marriages are of the world of men and not of the Kingdom of God

34 Jesus said to the Sadducees, “On earth, people marry each other.
35 Some people will be worthy to be raised from death and live again after this life. In that life they will not marry.
[b]36 In that life people are like angels and cannot die. They are children of God, because they have been raised from death. - Luke 20 vs 34 - 35

● Jesus Christ's ruling that honor comes to both men and women in His flock only through their continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments.

23 Jesus answered, “All who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. My Father and I will come to them and live with them.
24 But anyone who does not love me does not obey my teaching. This teaching that you hear is not mine. It is from my Father who sent me. - John 14 vs 23 - 24

Whoever wrote this portion of the letter — Paul is assumed the writer of course—, did not agree with much of what Jesus Christ taught in His Gospel regarding these things. To add to it, the writer even went as far as to add his own rules to suggest that he has authority given him to add or change God's very own Law as he sees fit.

■ This verse has been misinterpreted to mean that any woman who bears a child is automatically saved by........Find answers. www.beforegodanswer.com

This is another one of Paul's many opinions that directly contradicts the Truth of Jesus Christ. Below is what is supposedly written in Paul's letter to Timothy during the last days of God's final judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah) in the Land of Canaan.

8 I want the men everywhere to pray. Men who lift their hands in prayer must be devoted to God and pleasing to him. They must be men who keep themselves from getting angry and having arguments.
9 And I want the women to make themselves attractive in the right way. Their clothes should be sensible and appropriate. They should not draw attention to themselves with fancy hairstyles or gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothes.
10 But they should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. That is more appropriate for women who say they are devoted to God.
11 A woman should learn while listening quietly and being completely willing to obey.
12 I don’t allow a woman to teach a man or tell him what to do. She must listen quietly,
13 because Adam was made first. Eve was made later.
14 Also, Adam was not the one who was tricked. It was the woman who was tricked and became a sinner.
15 But women will be saved in their work of having children. They will be saved if they continue to live in faith, love, and holiness with sensible behavior. - 1 Timothy 2 vs 8 - 15

And this is what Jesus Christ said of women in Jerusalem during in the same period.

27 A large crowd followed Jesus. Some of the women were sad and crying. They felt sorry for him.
28 But Jesus turned and said to the women, “Women of Jerusalem, don’t cry for me. Cry for yourselves and for your children too.
29 The time is coming when people will say, ‘The women who cannot have babies are the ones God has blessed. It’s really a blessing that they have no children to care for.’
30 Then the people will say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us!’ They will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 If this can happen to someone who is good, what will happen to those who are guilty?” - Luke 23 vs 27 - 31

As you can see, clearly, something amiss as far as some of the claims contained in the letters attributed to the person of Paul.

Barcanlsta:
Yul in an Igbo man and has the right to marry more than one wife according to their traditions. So what's the fuse about him marrying Judy?

The man told you he doesn't have a second wife but a mere baby mama whom he is busy committing adultery with. Which part of your brain is struggling with comprehending this?

politicoNG:
Citing Yul’s filing, May’s lawyer detailed how the actor denied his marriage to Judy. He said Yul wrote, “That since the news of the birth of Star in June 2021, Gistlover, as a negative blog that thrives in fake and manipulated information for financial gains, has been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring me and Judy and generating social media traffic for financial gains.”
He said May’s initial petition highlighted an alleged traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State, as reported by Gistlover. In response, Yul categorically denied the claim, attributing it to Gistlover blog’s promotion of false information for financial benefit.
Yul and Judy deny the traditional marriage ceremony mentioned in May’s petition, insisting that it was a fabricated story fuelled by the blog’s penchant for fake news. However, May’s lawyer noted that what was described as a skit-making relationship has produced two children and is about to get the third one.

So, Judy is a baby mama, and May's husband is busy committing adultery in his marriage to her after all? That makes it even easier for May's lawyer then.

Your views.

Christian women, may not wear hijabs like women of another religion out there but they are most definitely also shackled by the many doctrines and traditions of the religion designed to control them.

tolexy007:
∆ A man in Israel , David Shoshan, who said he doesn’t want God to answer his prayers, file a restraining order against the Almighty.
In a report by the Times of Israel, Shoshan told the court, Tuesday, in Haifa, that over the last three years, God had been very negative towards him, demanding that He should stop interfering in his life.
Court documents noted that God did not present himself at the hearing, NRG, an Israeli news website reports. Shoshan said he has tried numerous times to obtain the restraining order through the police department, but failed. The reason he decided to go to court. According to the report, the presiding judge, Ahsan Canaan, threw out Shoshan’s request and called it absurd. Canaan asked that Shoshan should get help from someone besides local law enforcement.

Wait, a second! The man instead did not want God to answer his prayers? At least he used the whole to learn more about the workings of the legal system in his country. I wish Nigerians would take a leaf and maybe sue their god of their gods of men for failing them as well.

newstrafficker:
A man in Israel , David Shoshan, who said he doesn’t want God to answer his prayers, file a restraining order against the Almighty. Strange but real.

Maybe I should go sue sango for not answering me each and every time I called out for him to strike down evil doers.

▶ Zephaniah's warning and message were directed at the people of Judah, particularly those in Jerusalem who were to shepherd His people. The warning highlights not just what would happen to them in the case that God judged them but also what God's plan is after that.

1. Jerusalem, your people fought against God. They hurt other people, and you have been stained with sin.
2 They didn’t listen to me or accept my teachings. Jerusalem didn’t trust the Lord. Jerusalem didn’t go to her God.
3 Jerusalem’s leaders are like roaring lions. Her judges are like hungry wolves that come in the evening to attack the sheep—and in the morning nothing is left.
4 Her prophets are always making secret plans to get more and more. Her priests have treated holy things as if they were not holy. They have done bad things to God’s teachings.
5 But the Lord is still in that city, and he continues to be good. He does not do anything wrong. He continues to help his people. Morning after morning he makes good decisions for them. Not a day passes without his justice. He never gives a decision that is crooked or is something to be ashamed of.
6 The Lord says, “I have destroyed whole nations and their defense towers. I destroyed their streets and now no one goes there anymore. Their cities are empty—no one lives there anymore.
7 I tell you this so that you will learn a lesson. I want you to fear and respect me. If you do this, your home will not be destroyed, and I will not have to punish you the way I planned.” But those evil people only wanted to do more of the same evil things they had already done!
8 The Lord said, “So just wait! Wait for me to stand and judge you. I have the right to bring people from many nations and use them to punish you. I will use them to show my anger against you. I will use them to show how upset I am—and the whole country will be destroyed.
9 Then I will change people from other nations so that they can speak the language clearly and call out the name of the Lord. They will all worship me together, shoulder to shoulder, as one people.
10 People will come all the way from the other side of the river in Ethiopia. My scattered people will come to me. My worshipers will come and bring their gifts to me.
11 “Then, Jerusalem, you will no longer be ashamed of the wrong things your people do against me. That is because I will remove all the bad people from Jerusalem. I will take away all the proud people. There will not be any of them on my holy mountain.
12 I will let only meek and humble people stay in my city, and they will trust the Lord’s name.
13 The survivors of Israel will not do bad things or tell lies. They will not try to trick people with lies. They will be like sheep that eat and lie down in peace—and no one will bother them.” - Zephaniah 3 vs 1 - 13

As God proclaimed even from the time of Isaiah, after the judgment, He will gather back His Scattered people, all of them sons and daughters of Israel back to His Jerusalem - Isaiah 66 vs 18 - 21 - and at that time, not only will Jerusalem be holy again but the people will no longer do evil against their God.

▶ This prophesy spoken by Micah reiterates the earlier prophecy spoken by Isaiah of the very same Last Days of God's judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah) in the Land of Canaan.

1. In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s Temple will be on the highest of all mountains. It will be raised higher than the hills. There will be a steady stream of people going there.
2 People from many nations will go there and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. Then God will teach us his way of living, and we will follow him.” His teaching, the Lord’s message, will begin in Jerusalem on Mount Zion and will go out to all the world.
3 Then God will act as a judge to end arguments between people in many places. He will decide what is right for great nations far and near. They will stop using their weapons for war. They will hammer their swords into plows and use their spears to make tools for harvesting. All fighting between nations will end. They will never again train for war.
4 They will sit under their own grapevine and fig tree. No one will make them afraid. That is because the Lord All-Powerful said it would happen like that.
5 All the people from other nations follow their gods, but we will follow the Lord our God forever and ever! - Micah 4 vs 1 - 5

This judgment came upon the people of Judah and spread through to all the nations in the land of Canaan at the time, as well as the occupying forces - the nations were destroyed. History tells us that one of the last of the nations that occupied the region at the time of to fall was the Roman Empire. It too fell nonetheless, as prophesied.

▶ God's message in Isaiah 2 concerns the Family of Jacob, particularly towards the Nation of Judah which is known as Zion and the city of Jerusalem was located in at the time.

1 Isaiah son of Amoz received this message about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s Temple will be the highest of all mountains. It will be raised higher than the hills. There will be a steady stream of people from all nations going there.
3 People from many places will go there and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. Then God will teach us his way of living, and we will follow him.” His teaching, the Lord’s message, will begin in Jerusalem on Mount Zion and will go out to all the world.
4 Then God will act as judge to end arguments between nations. He will decide what is right for people from many lands. They will stop using their weapons for war. They will hammer their swords into plows and use their spears to make tools for harvesting. All fighting between nations will end. They will never again train for war.
5 Family of Jacob, let us follow the Lord.
6 Family of Jacob, you have abandoned your people. This is clear because they have been filled with bad influences from the East,[a] and now your people try to tell the future like the Philistines. They have completely accepted those strange ideas.
7 Jacob’s land has been filled with silver and gold from other places. There are many treasures there. His land has been filled with horses and many chariots.
8 His land is full of gods that the people bow down to worship. They made those idols themselves.
9 The people have become worse and worse. They have become very low, and you leaders did nothing to lift them up! - Isaiah 2 vs 1 - 9

The above prophecy was brought to a close about 1900 years ago. Jerusalem which was previously destroyed when the Nation of Judah was taken into captivity about 500 years before, was rebuilt and people from all over the nations, including those scattered out after the Nation of Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians, went back to worship in Jerusalem again. During that time, Jesus Christ, God's Message arrived in the country and was spread across the Nations. In that very same generation, just as Jesus Christ said, God judged the people of Israel(including Judah) and all the nations that surrounded them according to His decree in the Law of Moses - Deuteronomy 28 vs 15 - 57 and Leviticus 26 vs 12 - 45. Many nations were destroyed and left incapable of warring or making weapons of war since then — they ceased to exist, thanks to God's judgment against them and their soldiers turned to slaves and farmers.

■ You are going crazy bro

Why not attempt a rebuttal instead of displaying what is the typical religious response exhibited even by Islamics?

Religion is indeed a mission in blindness as Jesus Christ said.

JobZoneNews:
■ Did God tell you Oyedepo is a false teacher. If God has not told you that and you reached a conclusion then you just acted falsely!!!
■ Have you watched the video? Watch and come back to counter the truth he preached in that sermon.

Yes, Jesus Christ told His followers right in His Gospel that He is the last of those sent from God. Jesus Christ sounded the warning that He alone is Teach and Shepherd in His Kingdom; Everyone else who comes after Him in His name to you is a false teachers and a false prophet.

2. So, it does not matter to you that Jesus Christ already declared that all you come to you as Teachers in His name are False teachers, scammers. You think that should be determined only after listening to one or two sermons spoken by the said false teachers?.
