A Man got tired of watching so much bad news, and decided to start his own TV station to show only positive news.

He called it Sunshine news, to only show good news around the world. The News channel died in just 6months.

Sex and bad news sell.

That is why I understand human nature, they say one thing and do something else.


May the souls of those dieing unnecessarily rest in peace.

peteregwu:
You are not also a Christian. Why do you guys keep troubling yourself. Even the devil was an angel of God before whikenin heaven and he got tired of the rules and regulations in heaven, he rebelled and was sent out of heaven into the earth. Its not by force to believe in what Jesus or the Bible says.

If you want to marry 20 or divorce your wife and marry another, no one is holding you. After all we have other religions that is lawful for them to marry 4 wives. Go ahead and join them. Haba! No be force to believe the bible or Jesus. Na waoo... Waiting Peter no go see for nairaland.

HedwigesMaduro:
The question the Pharisees asked what very clear:
Matt 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

What remotely indicates polygamy in that question?

Your "smoker" analogy goes up in smoke here when you realise many righteous men in the old testament (including David, a man after God's heart) were polygamous, and God for once never complained about their polygamy (except if I'm missing something). I as a person don't like polygamy, but I don't read my "righteousness" into the Bible like you guys love doing.

A very cynical and disgusting plan spearheaded by one of the most greedy and corrupt fellows. I was happy my beloved Manchester City didn't join buh eventually they did. I'm gutted!
It should be boycotted by all means, this isn't football anymore. And if it eventually goes through, then it's time to become a Leeds United fan. I kuku fucking love them tele tele

Kobojunkiee:
I am afraid it is not that simple either. Jesus Christ did not state a lly of things..... I mean He only gave us about 50-something commandments but from even those He said a lot.

For example, consider the issue of sexual sins. There are those out there who believe that so long as they do not act on their sexual fantasies/lust, no sin has been committed. Some of those who belong in this group are all too ready to lampoon others who they label fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, all according to old covenant ideas. However, what many do not realize is that Jesus Christ declared that instead of the old laws that define sexual sins, His Law decrees instead that Lust, that desire that burns in one's heart, long before the act is committed , is instead what is sin, and what the sinner will be judged for. Pointing out that sin, disobedience, is committed not when one acts out one's intention, but instead when that intention is first birther in one's heart.

I don't know if you get what I am trying to say which is that it is not that Jesus Christ must specifically state that polygamy is a sin,before we understand it a sin, the intentions behind the act, if born of disobedience, is sin, regardless of the act itself.

Ammishaddai:
You just love blind arguments oga. The scripture is super clear on this matter, and I will quote the words of Jesus for you to read so you can end your online foolishness :

This passage from Mark 10 is at the heart of all Christian teaching on marriage and divorce:

1He left that place and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan. And crowds again gathered around him; and, as was his custom, he again taught them. 2 Some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 3 He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" 4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her." 5 But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. 6 But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female.' 7 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." 10 Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Points to note :

1. Jesus said the two shall become one flesh (v7-. Not three or more.


2. Once a man is married to one wife, he cannot marry another because that overrules point one and goes against Jesus command in verses 11&12.


Conclusion : You can choose to continue your blind argument but only a fool will engage you in it. Since it is obvious that Jesus has told us what he thinks about marrying more than one wife.

Janosky:
Matthew 19
New Living Translation
Discussion about Divorce and Marriage
19 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went down to the region of Judea east of the Jordan River. 2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed their sick.

3 Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’[a]” 5 And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’[b] 6 Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together"

God joined one man and one woman as husband and wife.
NOT one man two wives, or one woman four husbands. Etc

peteregwu:
When you marry more than one wife or husband, its polygamy and that is what Jesus described as adultery. Yes it is sin!

peteregwu:
Jesus never condemned tithes. Man established polygamy and God wouldn't allow the false doctrine to continue. That was one of the reason Jesus came to correct things. If you read properly what lead to Jesus condemning polygamy, it was the same Jews that were asking after the same issue. He simply replied them it was because of the hardness of their heart that moses filed a letter of divorce for couples but from the beginning it was not so.

Matthew 19:7 "They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so."

Me I Don talk my own. You people should hid the warning now before it is too late.

Ammishaddai:
You're just a lying preacher. You never made mention of your reference being from King James version of the bible. Kindly check your initial post. And even if it were KJV, do all other translation not carry the same meaning as the verse I quote to you earlier? Just tell us you want to argue blindly so we can give room for fools to contend with you

Ammishaddai:
Oga, so you've shifted grounds to King James? Hahaha... Why didnt you take up other texts? Or are they not the same in translation? Mtchww...hypocrite

SpecialAdviser:
Why won't they succeed when a whole minister of information is their member.

Ammishaddai:
This is not expansion ; this is the literal meaning of the text. And except you just want to argue blindly, then you just have to accept what Jesus says in that text. Period

Ammishaddai:
Mark 10:11-12
New International Version
11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.(A) 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”


From this scripture there is no room of a second or third wife. Because once you're married, having an affair with another violates this scripture automatically. So you can't have a second wife.

Ammishaddai:
Read my first post sir.

peteregwu:
I am talking about christianity and not Judaism or any other religion. According to the bible jesus says any man or woman that marry another wife side from the first wife has committed adultery.

And the same Bible says an adulterer shall not inherit the kingdom of God. I have posted the bible verses above. My stand is on the bible and what Jesus says. You don't alter what God established and go scot free. Thanks!

Ammishaddai:
According to the sayings of Jesus, it's impossible to be married to two women.

peteregwu:
In Christianity its a lie. It's one wife and one husband.

AngelicDamsel:
No where. While the new testament said "one man, one wife" it doesn't condemn polygamy.

Polygamy sounds archaic in this modern times.

Ammishaddai:
You will never see any place it is stated, but Jesus Himself gave a law regarding marriage. He said if you are married and you have sexual intercourse with another who is not your wife or husband, you have committed adultery. Automatically, that tells you that once you are married, any person you have an affair is tagged as an act of adultery. And that is sin. So having one wife is the only way to avoid sinning in the act of adultery

NoSentiment:
Dr you don't have to respond to this well oiled attacks by vested interests bent on profiting at the expense of Nigeria.

The Mobile telecommunications companies that sponsor these campaigns of columny against you can continue to waste their money for all they care.

The gullible people who believe their lies can also bark all they want for as long as they fancy at the moon. Nothing bad shall come your way.

You have the mandate of the president to do this job, Sir. And you have the backing of all responsible Nigerians who have heads for independent thinking.

Carry go sir, the Lagos/Ibadan press is hungry and angry as social media have rendered them useless. They are ready to sell their services to wicked people to assassinate the character of innocent men and women like you who work tirelessly to sanitize our insane system.

The tag of terrorist that they label at you is alredy gone stale. Let them try sth else as you still remain the minister of communication whether they like it or not. And the NIN-SIM project must be successfully seen through.

Those who dislike you can go and hang themselves for all they care.

You are not the first cleric to hold a political position. The VC is a Pastor in a church whose GO has made comments worse than those they attribute to you.

For those who want quote me, make sure you have your parent's DNA certificate at hand to confirm you are legitimately born of married couples. I am fed up engaging with bast+rds here on this platform.

ALISMILE:
I'm not talking about all Nigerian youths but those in politics so far are disaster
However, most Nigerian youths lack integrity, this is the reason almost nothing is working in Nigeria
The old goons are not the only problem

scait:

ALISMILE:
The old men were terrible but the youths were worse
We lack qualified presidency material in Nigeria politics

lymelyte:

ALISMILE:
Sincerely bro, I didn't see any.
All I saw were people putting up facades to give themselves responsible outlook
Most were just fake

PissfulProtester:
YOUTH dominated by cultists, thieves, yahooboys, rapists, ritualists, violent sessecionists, and what have you? Or the youth dominated by advocates of fraud, ethnic and religious bigotry and every other ill in the society?

It is surely going to be worse
