■ Well... Since the Bible commands it, it's compulsory. For me personally, if you can't find someone you're happy with, don't go into it because you'll still jump out or end up being miserable. It's not a do or die affair. I'm single and very happy with peace of mind that most married people don't have as a result of the kind of marriage they find themselves.

1. That is a bloody lie and you know it. In Matthew 19 vs 12, Jesus Christ clearly pronounced God's blessings, not on the married, but on those who would choose to remain single, particularly for the sake of God's Kingdom. Make una no dey take God name spread these una deluded abeg!

Tears of joy and jubilation filled the air after a 70-Year-Old woman allegedly gave birth to a bouncing baby boy as her first child in Alegbo, Warri Delta state.

If true, this is wickedness.

■ But this is the question, is it possible to get married without involving them like will the lady I want to get married to and her family accept me without my own family when it's time for me to get married?.

1. Simple! Do court marriage and save yourself money and stress!

■ From Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's accounts, you could see they don't individually capture all His commandments. What about the commandments in the lost gospels? How about the commandments you don't know Jesus gave? DOESN'T THAT MEAN YOU WILL NEVER BE RIGHTEOUS?
■ You said David was first righteous before he committed sin. So God forgave me when he prayed for it. What about a Christian that was first righteous before committing sin? Won't God forgive them too when they pray for it? What's the difference? - and don't say Christians were never righteous because you don't know all of them. You're generalising.
■ He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30). What you're trying to achieve yourself, is it not hard for you to do? Is the weight of unrighteousness not heavy on you - that guilt you feel everyday? Is that truly Jesus's yoke you're bearing? Why do you still labour when you're with Jesus? Don't you see something is wrong?
■ For the 100th time, I am telling you that I don't go disobeying Jesus's commandments. I'm sure if we compare notes, I likely do more because I am baptised and take Holy communion, both of which you've not said you do. What part of that is unclear? What makes you think you're more righteous? It's total nonsense to even think you're more righteous than someone else, are you God?
■ What commandments of Jesus do you obey that makes your righteous? state them.
■ Jesus also said a man must be born again. Are you born again? How? Even a mad man hears audible voices from another being within, convincingly. How is that different from you saying "He is instead a possession of your being by another being of intelligence"? Since you refer to the "religious experience" as mere psychosis similar to highness on dope?
■ When you're possessed by another being, you can describe what you experienced when it happened, and your life thereafter (with the being) as an experience.
■ The Holy Spirit also talks to you, and through you. However you want to describe it, the presence of the Holy Ghost in you glorifies God, and makes you to stop struggling with sin. You stop committing sin, NOT because you're fighting off temptations of doing bad things, but because doing good things become so attractive to you such that you have no space/time for bad things/thoughts again! Doing good brings you inner joy and peace. And this is true righteousness (holy), not the self-righteousness (filthy rags) you force on yourself by your own efforts. THIS IS WHAT PAUL MEANS BY BEING DEAD TO SIN. This is the new life in Christ.
■ Yes, Jesus did not direct anyone to be ordained clergy or pastor or bishop. In fact Matthew 23 - Jesus commanded the direct opposite - "don't call anyone father, master or teacher". He also commanded "whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant (Matthew 20:26-27). It's one of major things I don't agree with churches, and that is why I said my beliefs cannot allow me to take such position. The pharisees, sadducees and even the chief priest constantly questioned and rejected the Spirit that spoke through Jesus. They even killed Him at the first clear opportunity, despite disagreement from Pilate (a Gentile). Those were the people who knew everything about God's commandments and the prophets, yet they were blinded by the same knowledge. It's your choice to accept the truth or not.
■ Has it ever occurred to you that you're the one twisting the scriptures to assert your beliefs? Why do you think you're not getting it all wrong?

1. And as I already explained so long as you have God as your teacher — Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 — you will not miss out on anything. So, you don't need to worry about what is contained in a lost book somewhere that you don't know of.

2. It is impossible to obtain righteousness by way of God's standard through the following of the doctrines and traditions of men — lies that are against God — on which your religion of Christianity is founded. Process what that means before you ask your next question, please.

3. When I was a child, I did all within me to obey my mother and my father. Now that I am old, why would it be harder for me to obey my God with all my heart, mind, body, and soul? That is all God is asking that His followers do — the labor that Jesus Christ commands of His followers. Why is that so hard for you to do?

4. Again, "by their fruits you shall know them...". You confess that it is unnecessary to labor(walk in obedience) when you are with Jesus Christ yet you expect me to believe that does not then mean you live in disobedience of the same Jesus Christ? Please, take time to process the meaning of the question asked before you respond. Jesus Christ gave His followers about 100 teachings and commandments to live by. That you only obeyed one or two does not mean you are then justified in your disobedience of the other 98.

5. Again, there are about 100 teachings and commandments given in the Law and Truth of God, Jesus Christ, which His followers are commanded to obey — live in continuous compliance of — in order to be made righteous by Him — John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 25. If you are looking for one-off laws to obey and then tick off, then Jesus Christ is not for you.

6. According to Jesus Christ, to be born again, one must be born of water and born of the spirit(literally possessed by a spirit being) - John 3 vs 1 - 8. (Do not make the mistake of assuming the possession is with the one called the Holy Spirit because contrary to the doctrines of the religion of Christianity, He, the Holy Spirit, is not made mentioned in the entire context of John 3.) So, those who are born again, at least baptized, have eaten communion, and have been possessed by a literal spirit that wields control over their body, and being, 24/7 of their existence from that point on. Hearing voices in one's head does not make one born-again.

7. Being born-again means you are eternally possessed by another being. There is no life thereafter and no break from the possession.

8. In order to stop committing sin, you first have to have a knowledge of what constitutes sin, and that is where the Knowing of the Truth that Jesus Christ spoke of comes in, and how it is through that knowing that you are then set free from slavery to sin. The Holy Spirit had nothing to do with that process, nor is He mentioned as being a part of that process.

9. If Jesus Christ did not command it then those who do it are not of Him. It is really that simple. Only false prophets and false teachers do that which Jesus Christ has not commanded using His name, and they have nothing to do with Him.

10. Then you should have no problems whatsoever pointing out at least one of the scriptures which I have twisted in this, right?

Enskynelson:
■ Of cos, no salvation without genuine repentance. The thief's heart was all visible to Him who is able to see beyond those words spoken by the thief on the right hand side. The time however was short for the theif to bear the fruits of genuine repentance such as him not stealing any more, restitution etc. Matt 3:8... Fruits are generally a product of a tree. It's a product of a process that after repentance we begin to see changes.
The strategy on how he spoke and all that all matters less because Jesus' could see his heart and intentions even if he he had no means of expressing himself in such terms.

1. This is you stretching what was instead written abeg!
Also, in the context of the passage that is Matthew 3 vs 7 - 11, John the Baptist, more importantly, explained that the baptism by water was a sign to mark the repentance that had already previously taken place.

7 Many Pharisees and Sadducees came to where John was baptizing people. When John saw them, he said, “You are all snakes! Who warned you to run from God’s judgment that is coming?
8 Change your hearts! And show by the way you live that you have changed.
9 I know what you are thinking. You want to say, ‘but Abraham is our father!’ That means nothing. I tell you, God could make children for Abraham from these rocks.
10 The ax is now ready to cut down the trees. Every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “I baptize you with water to show that you have changed your hearts and lives. But there is someone coming later who is able to do more than I can. I am not good enough to be the slave who takes off his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. - Matthew 3 vs 11

Repentance of the kind expected is not a moment's decision but a change in lifestyle that takes place over an extended period.

■ The thief on the cross got saved for the following;
1. He realised and admitted he was a sinner
Luke 23:41 [41]And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”
2. He believed Jesus' could save - Luke 23:42 [42]Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
3. He asked Jesus' to save him - That is exactly what we need to get saved even today!
Acknowledge that we are sinners, believer that Jesus' can save and ask him to save us
Glory!!!

1. But Jesus Christ said except a man is a born-again, He can't enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8 and in order to be born-again, one has to be born of water and born of the spirit — these processes aren't automagical in any way or form. What this means is the thief was not saved by the standard of God's New Law in the Kingdom of God but instead by another standard and that is the Old Law of Moses. In Ezekiel 33 vs 10 - 20 is where we find the standard by which the thief on the cross was instead justified. This is the same standard by which many, such as Zaccheus, were also justified.

By the way, when Jesus Christ promised the thief on the cross that He would be with Him in paradise that same day, Jesus Christ meant that the man would die that same day. Paradise is a euphemism for the grave.

■ hahahahaha you are truly and highly ignorant. You make me laugh. This is why i keep telling you that you can never get it. From athiest to christianity and then isreal. You have have read bible and books about isreal and now you are forming woke.
■ Afrika is the land of creation. Many evidence abound even in your bible but you can't get it. I can't waste my time explaining to a blind man. Isreal of 1948 is a creation of men to hide the true identity of the true hebrews. It is a desert. Land of the hebrew flow with milk and honey - abundant natural resources. All nation had been milking them dry but they are still strong. These alone have destroyed all your lies. Isreal was first in africa. There are lands in africa with the names in your bible before it was recreated in !948. Even the so called isreal is in north east africa. Still africa.
■ Kobo you are a kid who only know the stories of yesterday. I can't be wasting my time with a brainwashed, ignorant fool

1. Last I checked, the woke culture of the World does not embrace the God of Israel in any way or form. So, are you really this desperate or something?

2. It really doesn't matter that
■ scientists claim that Africa is the cradle of creation since the concern here is with the Land of the Hebrews aka the Land of Canaan which is historically established as a land that is not in Africa at all
■ Africa continues to be pillaged to this day thanks to the people as Africa has nothing to do with this here
■ the current nation of Israel(of 1948) was created by men

All these are meaningless distractions by your person. We are speaking here instead of the Land of Canaan, the land that was promised by the God of Israel to the people of Israel. That land has no connection with Africa, so I am not certain why you think at this point in the conversation that dragging the many disconnected mentions of Africa into this will change the conversation.

3. The funny thing here is this kid seems to know the stories of yesterday upon which today's stories are founded better than you do pointing to the fact that the brainwashed, ignorant one here happens to be your person. You need to deliver yourself from these delusions you continue to cling to for your own mental health's sake.

■ God works only with those who understand his mindset. The message of Good Friday tells us that we need not conform to thoughts generated by our sinful nature, but we should seek transformational alternative from it, by the renewing of our minds: to enable us live the mentality of the sinless life. Romans 14:22.A.i asks "Do you have faith? Romans 14:22.A.ii answers immediately: "Have it unto your God". Then Romans 14:22B reveals the will of God for man concerning "a free conscience" by saying "Happy is the man who condemns not himself in the things he allows". In some versions the passage says "Blessed" is the man who condemns not himself..." Even God is not interested in condemning us, no man can too. Jesus said it (John 3:17-19). Only you can condemn yourself before God by rejecting his condescension and intervention.
■ The Good Friday message therefore frowns at the man in Christ who traditionally asks God to forgive his sins on a daily basis. This means he is still leading a sinful life in his mindset after he has believed that God has cleansed him from all his unrighteousness. ....That experience is what the message of Good Friday brings backs to us today. That God, by himself, saw the injustice of one man who enjoyed the privilege meant for his race but locked the path against others who should also enjoy such life. By one man, sin entered the world and by one man salvation came to all men. Rather than ask God to forgive me for my sins, I would rather accept what he has accomplished for me concerming my sins, and pray the prayer of thanksgiving for the grace he has provided for me to sin no more. You are what you say you are. As a man thinks, so he is.
■ I am not a sinner, so I cannot sin. I live by the grace of God without any law imposing itself on me. I live by the most superior law on the universe: the law of love. The easiest law in all existence says "Love covers all sin". We need to move from the mindset of sinners to the mindset of the children of God. No Child of God can sin. Abraham lived exemplary, so were Isaac, Jacob and the Partiarchs. Their lives were never without their own errors but they all lived in peace with God until their offsprings became stiffnecked. Scriptures say "Blessed is the man on whom God imputes no sin". Lets all strive for that measure of faith with God: we do no longer need to pray for the forvieness of sìn becsuse there is no sin in divine nature, with which we are clothed.

I couldn't make heads or tails of the entire write-up as it seems you copied stuff over without bothering to edit it afterward. I was however able to get from it an obsession with the mindset.

1. Where in scripture did God ever inform you that He is interested in the mindset of men towards Him and all this stuff you attempt here to spew?

2. Good Friday ritual is a farce since Scripture has it instead that Jesus Christ died on the Thursday after the Passover, but was not buried until the day after since the Thursday was a Holy day - Leviticus 23 vs 4 - 8. Since Good Friday is a farce, doesn't it then mean that your so-called Good Friday message is equally a farce?

3. Move from the mindset of sinners to the mindset of Children of God? Interesting, and how do you propose people do this? According to God, He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous — their sins render their prayers and petitions filthy, and abomination, to God—, even their many prayers for forgiveness of sins go unanswered because of their many sins. So, definitely, you cannot transition from being a sinner to a Child of God simply by asking God to forgive you your sins. So, how?

■ I m a Christian cos I see the religion as having more freedom for life, empathy, love and meekness. The reforms came during the era if Jesus unlike the old testament times. So I m a Christian cos the religion is straight forward in what's good and what's bad. Gaskiya!
■ I would v converted to Christianity if I was born in a Muslim home. I studied the tenets of Islam but found what I ll call personal defects.

1. What you just spewed makes no sense. Jesus Christ lived His life according to the Old Law of Moses — the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan. And He made it known that He did not come to reform the Law of Moses in any way or form. And the fact that Jesus Christ railed against the religious establishments that taught the doctrines and traditions of men in place of God's Law also speaks volumes about where Jesus Christ placed religion. What you call the Christian religion in fact has nothing to do with Jesus Christ and His New Law which He instead came to give to the sinners of Israel.

2. Religion is religion really. It is designed and powered by men.

Jimmythewise:
■To what degree of certainty can you boldly say that you would have been a Christian or Muslim if you weren't born into a family of that religion? If you are being truthful to your conscience you'd know that you are only Christian or Muslim because your parents belong to such religion.Do you now say that your parents decided your eternal home just by being born in their house?

1. Indeed, the religions of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. are all systems, tools designed by men with which to rule over the minds and lives of their fellow men.

GreatAchiever1:
■ Well some sources say Wednesday, some say Friday, some say Thursday, I really can't say which is the correct day he died,
■ but I wouldn't call good Friday "a complete farce".

1. We are talking Scripture here. All sources that contradict scripture are lies.

2. Good Friday is a complete farce, a lie since it directly contradicts Scripture's own record of events which point to Jesus Christ's death taking place on the day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, a Thursday which happens to have been a Holy day - Leviticus 23 vs 4 - 8. This is in addition to the fact that Jesus Christ never gave men permission to use His name for such rituals. The only ritual Jesus Christ endorsed was the eating of His body and drinking of His blood in remembrance of Him. All other rituals are not of Him.

OLULAW:
■You're not far ftom the truth given that Buddhism existed 600 years before Jesus, and Jesus taught his folloers to follow the Golden Rule ("treat others how you wish to be treated" plagiarised, verbatim, from the Tipitaka (the Buddhist sacred Scriptures). Many Nigerian Christians are ignorant about other World Religions and the History of Religions, preventing them from being introspective.

Or the rule Jesus Christ taught to His followers may have simply been a rewording of the old commandment, Love thy neighbor as you love your own self, found in Leviticus 19 vs 18, considered the second greatest commandment in the Old Law.

ProjectItoM:
On this good day, a Good man made a perfect sacrifice and took on death. Wishing you a reflective and meaningful Good Friday, filled with gratitude for the sacrifices made on this day.

Stop allowing men fill your head with lies which they then proceed to control you with abeg! The claim that Jesus Christ lied is not scriptural, nor is the Good Friday ritual of Jesus Christ who never gave permission to any of His followers to celebrate His death using His name.

According to the 4 Gospels, Jesus Christ was instead arrested on the day of Passover and crucified the next day which happened to fall on the First day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread(a Holy day - Leviticus 23 vs 4 - 8 ) explaining why Pilate(a non-Israelite) had to do the killing in place of the Jewish establishment because it is against God's Law to put a man to death on a Holy day. So, Pilate had Jesus Christ tried and crucified on Thursday and Jesus Christ is recorded to have died by 3 pm that same day. Jesus Christ's body had to hang on the cross until the next day because it is against God's Law to handle a dead body on a Holy day. The next day, Friday, just before sundown, His followers came with supplies and processed His body, and had it buried before the beginning of the Sabbath— Saturday.

So, what this means is that the Good Friday ritual is of lies.

ndan:
During the feast of the Passover when Christ was preparing for His death and resurrection see Luke 22:19 He commanded His disciple to always do same in His remembrance.In all of this, my concern is, how is it possible for Christ to die on Friday and resurrect on a Sunday? If this my concern is true, then these passages of the Bible are lies. First see Matthew 12:40 Christ prophesied that He(bodily flesh) will be in the heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 night. Again, see John 2:19 'Jesus answered and said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up'. His death and resurrection was the only sign this wicked world needs just as Jonas was in the bell of fish for 72hrs so also was Christ. Now, a full day is 23:59:59hrs. AM is 12hrs(day) while PM is 12hrs(night). So if Christ said it with mouth that it 3 x 12hrs(AM) =36hrs and 3 x 12hrs(PM) =36hrs. Together is 72hrs. Now do the math from Friday to Sunday in the 24hrs time system if it will add up that Christ resurrected on Sunday morning.

From Friday 6am to 6pm is one day
From Friday 6pm to Saturday 6am is one night
From Saturday 6am to 6pm is two days
From Saturday 6pm to Sunday 6am is two nights

So the people that are celebrating good Friday as the day Christ paid the ultimate price for the remission of man's sins are liars and their father is the serpent.

According to scripture, Jesus Christ did not die on Friday. He died instead on Thursday afternoon. When compiled together, the 4 Gospels actually state that Jesus Christ was
■ arrested on Passover night(Wednesday)
■ tried, and crucified during the festival of unleavened bread(Thursday), and died that same afternoon at about 3 pm, but
■ not buried on that Thursday because It was against God's Law to bury anyone on a Holy day(the First day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread is a Holy day).

So rather, Jesus Christ hung dead on the cross until the next evening when He was finally buried by his followers. This all means that Good Friday is a complete farce!

GreatAchiever1:
■The 3 days is counted because of the Jewish counting system at that time, so when you say 3 days, you start from the very day. Which is Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Hope you get now?

1. This is a lie! There is no such thing as a Jewish counting system that turns 2 days into 3 days. So letting men delude you with what are lies abeg!.

According to scripture, Jesus Christ did not die on Friday. He died Thursday afternoon, and when compiled together, the 4 Gospels actually stated that Jesus Christ was arrested on Passover night(Wednesday), tried, and crucified during the festival of unleavened bread(Thursday), and died that same afternoon at about 3 pm, but was not buried on that day because It was against God's Law to bury anyone on a Holy day(the First day of the Festival of Unleavened bread is a Holy-day). So rather, Jesus Christ hung dead on the cross until the next evening when He was finally buried by his followers.

Your good Friday is a complete farce!

Emeka71:
I'm even on fasting programme now.

God never commanded your starvation-diet fasting rituals either - Isaiah 58 & Zechariah 7 - is where God clearly tells you this. What this means is your starvation-diet fasting and prayer rituals have absolutely nothing to do with God meaning it is all in vain that you do it — well, maybe except for the weight loss benefits you reap, I guess.

Whoknow:
■ First are you a Christian or who are you to begin with, if yes you are a Christian what kind of faith do practice.

1. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and not of the religion of Christianity. I live my life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Law, and the National Constitution in God's special Nation of Priests - Exodus 19 vs 1-6 - aka the Kingdom of God which God constituted only of the sinners of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 22 - 24 & Matthew 10 vs 5 - 6 & Matthew 7 vs 6.

Kwinity:
He died on the cross because of me, he shed his blood just because me... He died on the cross because of me, he shed his blood just because me...

He died on the cross for the Lost sheep of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 22-24 & Matthew 10 vs 5 - 6 & Matthew 7 vs 6 . Are you of the Lost sheep of Israel?

candidbabe:
■Good Friday is a farce.I am beginning to doubt some stories being written in the Bible.
■ How can they tell us that Christ stayed 3 days in the tomb . Whereas Friday night when they said Christ died to Sunday morning when he resurrected is not up to 3 days. Mehn the story is not adding up

1. First of all, there is nothing like good Friday written off in Scripture.

Second, Jesus Christ did not die on a Friday. Scripture has it instead that He died the day after Passover, which happens to be the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, a Holy day - Leviticus 23 vs 4 - 8 -, and a Thursday. Jesus Christ's body was, however, left hanging on the cross until the next day because it was against God to bury anyone on a Holy day. So, Good Friday is a farce in all senses of it.

Read the book for yourself so you can clearly grasp the clear different between what is written and what the religion of Christianity would rather you believe instead.

bobestman:
■ so you know all these things written about isreal but you allowed yourself to be brainwashed by christianity. They only believe he is coming for them. They even call themselves spiritual isreal and many lies.
■ Let me focus on the 2 issues you have with me. Ancient scripture was written by the hebrews and only them have the true interpretations. Bible was plagiarised from ancient scripts. When isreal was raided they stole some scripts. Know that those scripts were coded so difficult to interpret. They came with their own interpretations in a book called bible.
■ The errors are glaring. Contradictions, allegories etc where did they mention the hebrews of africa or any of their lands. The true hebrew script has no corruption. Yahweh or jehovah are fabrications of those who interpreted with their knowledge. Only the gullible will fall for that. Even the hebrews of africa have their knowledge of who God is which is far better. They are corruptions not God's name. It would be very hard for you to grab

1. From where I sit, you are no different from those of the religion of Christianity who believe in ideas that are different from that put forward by God. God gave to His people — Israel — Laws/agreements/contracts which He mandated they abide by in other to reap the benefits of a relationship with Him. However, as expected, men chose differently but hide their abomination behind the many mentions of the name of God. In His Old Law God railed against the religious establishment of the time, who taught His people lies using His name — the religion known today as Judaism— the same way Jesus Christ railed against and laid down curses on those who would use His name to spread lies that are against God — the religion of Christianity. So those of you who adopt any of these religions are of the same breed.

2. What you spew has no bearing on what is spoken by God through His prophets. If God wanted perfect writing He would have, with His own hands, written scripture Himself in a perfect language. But God didn't do that and this was for good reason. Scripture was written by human hands in human language and passed through human hands from one human generation to another intended to be read and comprehended by human minds in various human languages— as a result of the human factors involved, the errors and contradictions are of design. Scripture was never intended by God to be some sort of epitome of perfection. So, I am not certain what you think you achieve by telling these useless tales.

3. Hebrews of Africa? Are you high? Hebrews were those who inhabited the Land of the Hebrew aka the Land of Canaan at the time. So how did the Land of Canaan take enter Africa, abeg? True Hebrew script has no corruption? It is perfect? Do you mean like they say the Quran is perfect?... ...That alone means it has absolutely nothing to do with the God of Israel who instead used men and sent men to speak to other men in the language of men then. Your obsession with consonants and vowels, both constructs of human language, and leap to conclude that they matter where God is concerned indicates you are just a religious rambler with no real relationship with the God of Isreal.

I'm not trying to blackmail anyone sir, I'm sorry if I make you feel that way

These issues are things you announce to your family members as they are in the best place to help you find the support you need. Strangers also have their own problems to tackle and so it it unreasonable to come demanding help from them in this way when they don't even know you from Adam..

I've difficulties sleeping due to over thinking, finding what to eat is near impossible I can't bear living in this poor condition, I hope those that refuses to help me when I needed them won't share fake tears when I'm dead.

Go back home to your mother and father. They are the ones you should be telling all this to.

First, ensure it isn't guilt you confuse with love. Be the bigger person by apologizing to him. Life is too short for you to let your ego rule over you particular when you are aware of its influence.

Second, if you are not able to properly reason the feelings you supposedly have for him, do not ask him out. Since you have already dated him only to break up with him, take time out to do a deep dive into who you are as a person to find out if he would even come close to being a good fit as far as the kind of person you intend to become. It could be that you both could work but since he is also hesitating it most likely means he is also not sure if you are what he needs or not. So take your time to make certain you even need a person like that in your life again.

I would not recommend dating others but rather suggest you mingle with people outside of your normal circle in the meantime.

I guess you are finding it hard to forgive him, well I don’t what it’s like to be cheated on. Just try find a place in your heart to forgive him, but if you can’t forgive him it’s better you dissolve the marriage to ease yourself the daily pain of seeing him cheat on you.

This here is balanced ... making sure Op is aware that she doesn't have to sit with it if she can't handle it.

■ But they will cajol you as if no big deal in it, bills will be shared, they will be of help

1. Are Nigerian men imbe_ciles that they would believe the mere words of another human being without evidence to go on? If while dating a woman who is not herself financially stable and taking care of her own bills and life, she tells you that after marriage she will pay bills with you, why in the world would you believe her just like that? No be craze be that?

If you had a friend who has never held a job in his life tell you that if were to allow him move in with you, he would get a job then and pay you rent, would you also agree to it.

All these excuses are nothing but signs or serious mental denial and refusal by these men to take responsibility for their own mistakes in life.

What's your advice for the unlucky brothers who marry wrong fits? You know how these things can be. Majority of married men are having it rough.

First, they didn't marry "wrong fits" as the women did not put guns to their heads. So, let's correct that notion abeg!

Second, majority of those men chose the curse of hypogamy as their lot in marriage in order that they could sit as gods over their women in marriage. So, the first step is to admit to their decision being the reason for their circumstance. Denial will never cut it or they will only repeat the same mistake it they had the chance to try again.

Lastly, turning things around would involve working with their spouse towards giving up their godhood in marriage and embracing a format that allows for sharing of responsibilities. Of course in some cases, their spouses would rather opt for divorce.

I believe you are a christian. The Bible says to heir is man ......, Please find it in your heart to do forgive him if you see that he is genuinely remorseful.

In the same Bible, it is written that God will not hold it against OP if she forgives him and then leaves him to marry another in his stead.

Make una dey leave Bible out of these and other things abeg!

■ Can you expantiate more on that "fought with GOD". Because if we are to view it in context, there's no way a person can fight with God. And if there's a deeper meaning to that, can you share?

1. This is why I said it is important to pay attention to context in all situations. Unlike his father Issac who grew up following God's way, Jacob was not reported to have grown up as one who sought after God, this before the encounter with the man/angel. So, "fought with God" could be in reference to Jacob resisting God until then. Or it could be in reference to Jacob stealing his brother's birthright. I am not certain at this time as I have yet to investigate that for myself.

Was the person bluffing?? Kobojunkie

Genesis 32 vs 24 - 32 explains that Jacob wrestled and defeated a man who then gave Him the name israel the meaning of which had Jacob convinced he had seen God face to face.

MaDaRa01:
■ Because they are not on the Lord's side or they bow down to a golden calf(gods)?

1. God used that as a test to choose for the Levites as His Law enforcement troop/army in the Nation of Israel - Exodus 32 vs 28 - 30.
