It is only Jesus who can say all that. Because He knows all things. It is not for any other human to judge another especially when you call on the God. Jehovah.

Jesus thought you and I not to be judgmental on anyone calling on Jehovah. Wether you believe they are serving Him or not.
That was the essence of the illustration of the man praying in the temple pointing to someone else praying saying "I am not like that sinner over there. I am holy. I fast bla bla bla"

Don't be a robot. You don't have to wait for the Watchtower guys to understand the Bible. It is written in s language you can understand..
Use your brain bro.

Do that in bold abeg....

44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe? - John 5 vs 41 - 44

Listen and hear what Jesus Christ tells you.

As for what you are rambling on about judging for... Jesus Christ told you that you should judge everything according to the standard which He gave to you - God's New Covenant - meaning your very life is to be founded on the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, not on the doctrines and traditions of men and their many churches and assembly halls. So I don't know why you are having a hard time with obeying HIm.

Either me or not(of which i am part) God sha said that the people He Himself made should praise Him Isn't it??

Well, Jesus Christ also said no need for your praises.

So, do you do as Jesus Christ commands? Or do you do what God instead told the people of Israel to do? You cannot serve two masters here.... either you belong to the Kingdom of God or you belong to the Land of Israel... which one?

Rafiquie:
You identify religiously as a Jehovah's witness right?

I don't associate with any of your numerous denominations or groups, nor do I bow to any of the doctrines and traditions of men that comprises your churches and assembly halls. I am instead a follower of Jesus Christ, and of Jesus Christ alone.

sylve11:

That is the truth though!

Niklaus398:
You again? You are simply an Antichrist.
I guess God also didn't command David to sing and dance or he never appreciated the children of isreal singing and dancing on no their way out of Egypt?.
I shall wonder for you. Talking nonsense.

Even the Christ said the Angels of God are constantly Praising him. That is singing too.

God did not call you according to the same Law(and commands) He did David or any of the people of Israel. He called you instead to obey Jesus Christ. Stop this delusion of yours where you compare yourself with those who are not even of the same Kingdom or Covenant!

You talk too much. Why didn’t he invite DJ to play songs he likes instead?

Well, that is for the pastor man/businessman to decide for himself.

Papichulostunne:
You are no Christian.. sing to your jujulet us sing to our God..!! How did the wall of Jericho fall?

Well, according to Jesus Christ, those who belong to Him are those who obey His teachings and commandments, no those who reject His teachings so they can instead follow their own ideas.

EponOjuku:
Are they singing for their Pastor or singing for their God?

Jesus Christ said He does not need your or anyone praising Him, meaning that when you sing your songs, you might as well be singing to yourselves since they are of no value to Him.

GreyLaw:
Have you ever seen this scripture before?
Ephesians 5:19: Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Or you still have another hidden, esoteric meaning to it? Afterall you discovered God in some wonderful way nobody has before? Mind you, th Bible says no scripture is of private interpretation (I Peter 1:20). You have created too many private interpretations to scriptures to the point you are getting confused.

Look, is the writer of Ephesians the one who is your master or Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ said that those of you who praise Him do so in vain ...

Well, for one, Jesus Christ told you you praise Him in vain.

Emperordynasty:
You need to get a job sir...you rants and unbiblical doctrines which you spill out everyday and the way you attack fathers of faith is a disgrace to the body of Christ and does not Glorify Jesus whom you claim to now know better than every other person on the surface of the earth . This your job of dividing Christianity is getting stale,try getting a day to day job

Jesus Christ never asked you to glory Him. The reason He installed His own Spirit aka the Spirit of Truth, the one you call the Holy Spirit inside of those who are His followers - those who obey His commandments is in order that all glory is His whenever the Spirit works through His followers. So, when Jesus Christ Jesus Christ told you that He does not want your praises, He meant it.

Jehovah Witness like you don drop quote, everybody go talk tire for your matter.
You are perfect example of taking people from confusion to more confusion

I am not a Churchian nor am a Jehovah witness.

GoodIsGod:
Shut the fccck up. Deluded Watchtower Robot.
You criticize everything other christians do because you have been brainwashed by the watchtower.

You guys should learn how to mind your business.
We know all your weird unbiblical doctrines and we don't castigate you guys. But you won't seize to insult christians because of your holy than thou attitude.
21st century Pharisees.

Your delusion there is what leads you to believing that by stating that which is in scripture, I speak for your watchtower which is no different from your other Churchian delusions.

Aguiyimba:
When did he became God.

Who?

freemi:
it's nt everything u do daily that is in the scripture. It's nt everything in the scripture that u can as well do daily

It isn't everything that I do daily that I ascribe the Name of Jesus Christ to. I only do that which Jesus Christ commands in the Name of Jesus Christ since it is only that which we have been given permission by Him to do in His name that we are supposed to.

ObidientFC:
Told her about seeing a counselor. She said the man doenst listen to anyone at all. His take is final.

Well, she has crossed that T with him is what that means and since he refused. She can at least leave knowing she made an attempt but was met with resistance.

nzechu:
where will he get one

There are mental health facilities all across Nigeria where you can find mental health therapists and counselors.

bepositive11:
That's not entirely true. There are certain traits that only sociopaths, narcissists, etc have -- traits that normal people don't have. If you see those signs, even a little bit, pack your bags and leave.

Lack of empathy is a very good example of a sign to look out for. No normal human being lacks empathy. That lack of empathy is what drives people to kill or abuse or manipulate their partners.

I have friends who, after a terrible breakup decided on that route and they held it for a while too. Anyone who met them in any of those phases would have assumed them sociopaths when in fact they were just angry.

I am far from a sociopath myself but even I confess that I have appeared so to others at points in my life, and this because my mental was off somewhere else at those moments or periods.

QueenEsther1:
Am sincerely sorry brother in anyway I have offended you in the course of this discourse. My intention is genuine. May the peace of God be with us all. Amen.

You don't owe me an apology as all I am intending to do here is to help you realize how very different from Jesus Christ what you believe and practice really is.

God's standard, Jesus Christ, is an eternal standard and will never bend for anyone, no matter how much they pray.

bepositive11:
Still though, sociopaths show little little signs of their wickedness before marriage.

Many of these signs are perceived in even non sociopaths out there from time to time.

Samuelnze:
I thought the worship we do in our churches are for GOD,
Is this nigerian pastor high on fruit juice.
He should have quietly signalled her to stop and leave the stage not halting and shaming her publicly.

Where in scripture did God order this so-called worship you do in your churches?

Hunter12:
Her WhatsApp conversation with this man shows she's cheating and she was saying she's only playing along. I'm walking out of this marriage in peace and not in pieces

Alright! So, what is the plan now? Is the next step for you to go pick up the divorce papers, sign it and forward it to her then?

Fira09:
The pastor is high on weed(AZ).

That's very embarrassing and unthinkable from the pastor.

No he is not. He spoke honestly given that he is aware those songs are meaningless when all is said and done. They are not commanded by God and as such are not of God. They also serve as a way of deluding you, the followers of these men, into believing that the emotional highs you get from time to time singing those songs have something to do with God.

nooboody:
is her new husband rich.? cause there's no way he didn't display any of these sociopathic behaviour when they were dating but she probably over looked them. now she is crying to you.

Not all sociopaths turn out the same. Also, some wait till marriage to fully express those wicked urges as society does encourage in some men the idea that by getting a wife, they earn the right to afflict her as they choose as she is some sort of property designed specifically for such.

So, she married a sociopath, is she shackled for life or something? IS she meant to sit tight and wait until he knocks her brains out before she cries for help?

InfinityFabric:
Guy go face your wife or go work harder to have more choices instead waiting to tap from a used good. She chose him, now want to run from the consequences. It's called responsibility.
Just tell us when she finally marries you.

What responsibility do you mean abeg?

techWriter3:
Can you stay folks's marriages alone

What are you afraid of?

SteveDGreat:
Yesterday she sent me a chat with a strange phone Facebook that I should give her my number .
Since Yesterday, she has been pouring her emotional trauma on me. Her marriage is hell. Emotional abuse, insults, beating. As I am typing, she is still talking on phone . She is done with the marriage and wants to leave but she is scared of her son that's 1 year and 2 months old .
I really feel bad for her and don't even know how to help her .It is painful. She is my best friend

What she likely needs is a mental health therapist to help her deal with and eventually offload the garbage she is packing from what you say was a toxic marriage - emotional and physical abuse - so, advise her to engage one of those as soon as possible.

As for leaving her marriage, she and her ex-to-be should probably consider engaging the aide of a marriage counsellor on that, this is to help her confront the reality of her situation head-on and decide once and for all what is best for her and her kids. According to your story, you had stated she left the marriage 9 months earlier, yet you claim while she spoke recently to you, she spoke as one who was back in the marriage. So, it is possible she is not sure whether she is ready to leave or not. Professional marriage counselling is a good way to help her face the truth of her marriage, and do the right thing for herself. Let your friend decide her own future by herself.

My favourite... with thickly sliced onions too.

The image got me wondering if noodles are offered as part of the Ebo menu these days.

slimjohn2k5:
Some of us have gone through a lot. Sometimes feeling betrayed after confiding in someone.
Also, it is depressing you. If you have gone through this, how did you cope with it.

I am feeling betrayed, used, depressed and cannot spill details right now. What do I do? I have gone through a long list of those I know and no one to discuss it with. If you are a counsellor I dont want you to know me but I want to talk to someone that do not knw me and I dont know if I will feel better.

Please do not call me just to hear my story but because you want to help. Please is not a financial issue.

Why not do what others here do on a regular basis? Create a different account and use that to post your story, obtain feedback on the issue and respond appropriately, when you feel the issue has been resolved, you can then delete the account and get back to using your regular account.

Or you could engage the help of a professional therapist as some have already suggested and go from there.
