Now everybody is agreeing with OP even those who enjoy being worshipped, begged for love and affection.

SMH

Glad I have never been in such a relationship because I always spot it from the outset and stand down. when a lady, for instance, plays hard to get longer than necessary, that's what you get.

Most times ladies forget that wooing does not last forever, expecting the guy to still be wooing with vigor when the relationship is in cruise control may lead to emotional stress or disappointment.

You are guilty as well.

The igbo language is dieing that is why you wrote this article in English, abi?

Thanks anyways, at lest I understood what you have to say.

So that although religious people may be spiritual some 'religious' people may NOT be so spiritual. Being religious does not automatically mean being spiritual. Religious beliefs are irrelevant to having higher vibrations. It is not what we believe but what we DO on this planet earth that will definitively determine what is going to happen to us when we inevitably cross over.

if this is preached in every church and mosque, the world would be a better place.

that law of attraction syncs with what the Zohar teaches, you go to the "place" that matches your vibration.

the child's attachment is certain but will be effective in the future but I need to know about the present

Personally, I don't believe that spiritual attachment exist beyond the moment of sex, all the talk about being spiritually attached permanently to a person because of sex is just to create fear in the minds of people so as to have control over them.

Just for instance, so far you have had sex with say 50 ladies and those ladies have had sex with say 10 men each previously, and those men have had sex with say 70 ladies each and on and on and on... Can you imagine the number of spiritual entanglements involved?

Do you know why I choose that stance?
1 Samuel 21:5

so you think because you wedded in church or court there is a spiritual attachment?
the only attachment is the child.

They are coming for your head.

We know it is called preemptive statement ... APDA calleth thee.

Meaning Markafi has lost already.

ayam not understanding...

i thought CRK was for Christian school and IRK was for Muslim schools, what are they saying?
they should force CRK on Muslim schools?

Thread derailed

that is because the predestination which this thread sets out to discuss predestinated the derailment.

ichuka:
Hmmm,
Just found you aren't a believer.because it will be a bit difficult for you to grasp these things.
Because the bible is the word of God,and His Words are spirit.nean to understand it one must be in the spirit.
Wanted to discuss Galatians 3:15-22 with you. but since you aren't "in" it will result to arguments.

@underlined, yes that is true, it is "a bit difficult for believers to grasp these things"
@bolded, i don't think the tone of my comments is that of anger to warrant you saying that.

Galatians 3:15-22 New International Version (NIV)

15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”[a] meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.

21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

from the passage the promise was made to Abraham and his seed no doubt about that, but was Jesus a descendant of Abraham to be counted his seed, since his father was God and not any man descended from Abraham?
or are we tracing his lineage to Abraham through the maternal side of the family tree?

I know you are convinced that Jesus was conceived by the union of God and Mary, is God a descendant of Abraham?
The above scripture can only hold true if Jesus was conceived by the union of Joseph and Mary, which would open another controversy.

Thank you Jesus

Look at you, praising God after contravening his sixth commandment: thou shalt not kill.

I didn't answer that because I have already. He didn't continue to live on earth after His death.

Well you don't believe the Bible that's why you keep wondering why things are not the way you think they should be.
But how would we have known being born into this world made sense if we weren't born in the first place.

@underlined, you just made that up. I don't wonder why things are not the way I think, as you opined, I seek to know and understand the Truth for myself and that entails studying, asking questions and reasoning.

@bolded, it does not answer that question and neither did you at any point.

I have the same issue too.im an introvert and sometimes I wish I was an extrovert.i ve been seeking for a job since 2015.i ve always been invited for interviews but I don't scale through successfully at the interview stage,i always mess up.it doesn't mean I'm dullard,i ve done aptitude tests in the past which I passed, but wen it comes to the interview stage,i become very nervous,and i simply forget what to say or how to say it even if know what to say.i dnt no how to keep a conversation going.i m really confused,i dnt no if I will ever get a job.

I would say I share some attributes of this to some extent. I was always mixing up what I want to say, not that I didn't know what to say but saying them in the right order. The trick I used is thinking and talking a little slowly.


As for getting a job, you would but keeping it and growing in it should be a worry.

As for office politics, I still don't know how to play it as It entails a lot of gossiping, flattery and eye service, things I still can't bring myself to do, Making it difficult Climbing the corporate ladder.

An2elect2:
Do you believe the Bible?

Is that why you avoided answering this:

The will or testament comes to effect at the death of the testator, that is if the testator dies and remains dead. In this case Jesus is said to have come back to life, does the will still come to effect since the testator in this case is still alive?

OK, he died to activate the testament then comes back to life, meaning divine law can be circumvented?

I don't believe the Bible but I believe the Truth wherever I find it.

An2elect2:
Lol you are asking me why God ordained means to accomplish all His purposes.

No that is not my question.

Those that recieved the law did not know grace will replace it, we that are in grace now do not know what will replace it.

The end is not known, because there is no end but Infinity.

People often say that it is not written in the bible. Proverbs 20:1. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived by it is not wise. To take it is foolishness.

how is foolishness a sin?

that is the illusion of life, nothing is real until you focus on it.

the dots only become white if you focus on it.

Call airtel contact center and explain it to them. They should be able to transfer the airtime back to you. Hope it was an airtel line you credited?

I doubt they will transfer it back. I had a similar experience with an etisalat subscriber, I was told to contact the person.

I guess it is illegal to transfer someone's credit from the back-office without the person's consent.

Call it accidental discharge, the damage is always hard to undo.

Besides, count it as a Seed sown, though it may not germinate.

ichuka:
The law was not given for it to be upheld,no it was given in full knowledge for it to be BROKEN!!by so doing,He's finished work on Calvary would be accepted.that is Grace.which is the Gospel.

It's the same thing.

If the law was given to be "broken" at calvary, grace is equally given to be "broken" at a certain point in time.

When the law was given was it stated it was for a period of time?

Now that Grace is given is it stated if it is for a period of time?

If God knew that the law would be broken at calvary and still gave it, where is wisdom in that?

How many centuries was the law in effect before being broken?
How many centuries would grace be in effect before it is "broken" by the next paradigm shift?

Besides, I guess you followed the arguments before commenting.

It takes more than big ass to keep a man

An2elect2:
Yes!!!!!

Who gave the law?
God

Who gave the grace?
God

Yet it's said God knows the end from the beginning, but didn't know law would not do the work of grace.
Makes sense right?

There is Mother's day and there is Mothering day celebrated on different days in different countries.

I won't say I know the difference nor bothered Google with it.

Well, if you understand that there cannot be a testament without the testator dying (just like your will cannot be read except you die) you will understand why the gospel of free grace had to be preached(revealed) after Christ's death.

Jesus made mention of faith and grace and taught about them mostly in parables (difficult for men to understand) but they were not enforced until after His death.

Hebrews 9:15-17
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.



Yes! Read Romans 9 so you understand why. At the end, they would be brought in. God would through the mercy of the gentiles have mercy upon them. Romans 11.

God's people are not natural Jews but Spiritual Israelites. Read Romans 9:23-25.
That's why the promise made to Abraham was not through the law but the righteousness of faith

Romans 4:13-16
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all

[i] God knew/loved His people before the world began. And these people are scattered all over the world.
Earthly Israelites were the symbolic representation of the true Israelites (who may or may not be from Israel but are the elect chosen from the foundation of the world)

God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

The will or testament comes to effect at the death of the testator, that is if the testator dies and remains dead. In this case Jesus is said to have come back to life, does the will still come to effect since the testator in this case is still alive?

OK, he died to activate the testament then come back to life, meaning divine law can be circumvented.

The law was given to the earthly Israelites but Grace to the spiritual Israelites, right?

The question is, the flood that destroyed the world in the days of Noah, did it spare the Garden of Eden?

How many meters of mud did the flood cover the land?

Eden like other ancient cities was destroyed by the flood. Or are we looking for the fossil remains?

OK let's imagine her cooking in a typical African kitchen with the baby in that position.

[i] That's the gospel Paul preached. It's not from Paul but Jesus himself.

When Jesus was on earth he ministered only to those of the circumcision, teaching them the Law and the Kingdom of God. The law as a school master that leads us to Christ and the Kingdom of God as a reality after His death. These He commanded His disciples to do too. They were not to leave Jerusalem. (Even when they faced persecution, they still remained there.)

But after his ascension, He called and separated Paul to minister to the gentiles the gospel of free grace These gentiles would not be justified by the law but by faith. This, to prove that the righteousness of the law can only be obtained by faith and not by works of the law. So those of the circumcision (to whom Christ preached to) would come to see that those without the Law have the righteousness of the law which they themselves cannot obtain by works.

So Jesus could not preach grace & faith to his own people but directed it be preached to the gentiles? Is that not deception?

So God is no author of confusion. The disciples with Jesus were not to go to the gentiles with their gospel of the Kingdom so they don't lay another foundation different from God's plan for the gentiles and the remnant of jews. God's plan for us all is for us to be justified by faith in Christ alone apart from the law. Both Jews and gentiles.

When you study Romans, you will see that God blinded the Israelites to not believe the gospel Paul preached and be saved (Only few believed) and God provoked them to jealousy by going after the Gentiles that were not seeking Him and granted them true repentance through Paul's gospel.

Are you understanding this, God blinded the Isrealites not to believe though Jesus came to them and was among them?
God provoked Isrealites to jealous and granted gentiles true repentance?
Are you serious?

If God could do that to his own chosen people, can you imagine what he would do to the gentiles?

So the gentiles have supplanted the Isrealites in the divine scheme of things?

Very funny.

They say God doesn't change yet by this your comment he appears to be very fickle.

An2elect2:
Lol not true. Paul's gospel is the gospel of God. And no Jew or gentile can be saved without it. Paul called it his gospel because that's the gospel God gave him to preach to the gentiles which is distinct from the one given to the 12.



Romans 15:15-19
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Romans 2:16
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Galatians 2:7-8
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles.

We are to preach Paul's gospel or rather God's gospel

what happens to the Gospel of Jesus?

An2elect2:
I won't bother countering the falsehood up there cos I perceive you are hardhearted and of course hate the truth. You seek not the truth but a reinforcement of the lies you adore but God will judge all men by the gospel I have preached here, which is Paul's gospel. God bearing me witness I have said all that needs to be said to you. May the Lord have mercy.

Isn't that a little egoistic?
So you are a Paulian not a Christian?

This thread has made me to re-watch the movie "Predestination," though presented as science fiction, the concept is well illustrated.
