A law is useless if it does not come from the people's experience.

lunacol:


Can you explain this...

The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1 Timothy 3:2-5.

Does it mean if you are not a bishop,you can marry more than one wife?

they will never answer you. But if you want to find out more about the passage you quited, please check my response to @CJstarz on page 4 the tail end of page 4. Let me know what you think.

Padipadi:

When it get to a point, you can't perform effectively financially, physically and emotionally. It's easier to manage one person than managing 2-4 people.

When it gets to that point, the wives will ne of tremendous support!

Eyinju112:


He is God. I am not God. He said fornicators will not enter into his kingdom. Even in law, law doesn’t permit two wives, our Nigerian law says you must divorce one before you can marry the other. So if you like carry cow and dowries to 9 women houses after your legal wife na nonsense you still do. In fact you can be jailed for 5 years if your legally wife press charges against you. God is not in support of two or more wives, in his eyes you’re still fornicating. I’m not forcing you to accept what I’ve said, they are bull shit to you, you can disregard it and don’t mention me hence. T for thanks

The Nigerian law is a colonial legacy and should be abrogated.

AfonjaConehead:


You are just hollow...seek understanding and seek knowledge as well.

respond to whatbhe said rather than say this.

let me give you another one: ''Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them (Judah and samaria), saith the Lord'' Jeremiah 31:31-32

gudugudumeje:
Self-deceit.

So Jacob, Abraham, David, etc. are not made mentioned in your Bible.....

Also in the new testament as well. If Paul told Timothy that a bishop should be husband of one wife, then it is because having more than one wife was not uncommon in the congregation. and he never told anyone to put away any of his wife as a form of 'restitution' like the church and its ignorant leaders want today.

CJStarz:

The Bible is not confused. They are the ones confusing themselves.
There's no place in the Bible where God or Jesus condemned polygamy.God isn't petty! The only people admonished to marry only one wife in the Bible,and that was by Apostle Paul, were pastors,so they could concentrate on the Work of God.

And here is the bible passage to back up what you have said:

''32 Iwould like you to be free from worry. An unmarried man concerns himself with the Lord's work, because he is trying to please the Lord. 33 But a married man concerns himself with worldly matters, because he wants to please his wife; 34 and so he is pulled in two directions. An unmarried woman or a virgin concerns herself with the Lord's work, because she wants to be dedicated both in body and spirit; but a married woman concerns herself with worldly matters, because she wants to please her husband.'' 1Cor 7 vs 32-34.

So, you were right when you said Paul gave that advice so that they can concentrate on their work in the vineyard. He does not want them to be pulled in two directions, like he said in the bolded. But those, like @Dtruthspeaker and @Vdestro, who want to remain ignorant, will ignore this and instead keep believing the lies he was told by those who know nothing about the authentic christian teachings, or the mind of God concerning the matter.

For Paul, marriage comes with a lot of headache; those who are married today can confirm this as well. That's why he said in vs 28 of the same chapter that he would ''rather spare you the everyday troubles that married people will have''

Anyone who says Paul telling pastors and bishops in 1 Timothy 3:2 that they should marry only one wife means he is condemning polygamy, is a big-fat liar! We have seen from the passage I quoted, which you also alluded to in your post that I am quoting that the reason Paul said that, was because he thinks marriage has alot of challenges which could distract one from the Opeus Dei, the work of god.

Now, we all know from his letters, that Paul is someone who is fanatical about evangelism and working in the lord's vineyard which is why he decided not to get married so that he won't have any excuse or distraction. He said ''of all the apostles, I work the hardest!'' 1Cor 15:10. To underline how much he is willing to put in to save every soul on earth, he said: ''Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.'' 1 Cor 9 vs 19. In vs 22-23 he said: ''I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Now the Paul that said what I quoted above, does anyone think even after telling the bishops in Timothy 3:2 that they should marry only one wife; think that same Paul will see someone who is married to more than one wife doing the work of a family man incredibly well, and also works in the vineyard and does the job even better than the so-called singles or 1 wife-men, do you think that same Paul will object to such a man holding the position of a bishop? You think Paul cares about anything else but the work of god? was he not the one who, when he was told he is not one of the original disciple of Jesus hence cannot be regarded as an apostle, told them that but he works the hardest among all the apostles and by so doing, he became an apostle ny the grace of god? 1 Cor 15:10.

Dybala11:

There are less than 50,000 Christians in Palestine, while there are about 185,000 Christians in Israel as at 2022.

Those "185,000 christians" in Israel are Arab palestinians, not the Hebrews.

Who told you that Palestinians are the ones producing the missiles they've been firing at Israel??
Or you believe that the guns they are holding too are made by them?? 😂😂

They make drones

They make their own missiles
This is according to the NY Times

How have Gaza militants preserved or even grown their arsenal?
In the past, medium- and longer-range rockets were typically smuggled through tunnels along Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, and in some cases smuggled in parts, then assembled in Gaza. But in recent years, with Egypt making a more concerted effort to block and destroy the tunnels, smuggling whole rockets has become far more problematic. So Hamas and its affiliates in Gaza have developed their own production skills.

Michael Herzog, an Israel-based international fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy and a retired brigadier general in the Israel Defense Forces, said Israeli military and intelligence officials are now far more concerned about the abilities of the militants to produce rockets they once had to import.

“The focus of I.D.F. targeting now is on the production facilities so that when this round of fighting ends, there will not only be less rockets but also less[b] production capabilities[/b] for making them,” Mr. Herzog said.

PurestBoy:


Are the Christians the ones shouting Allahu Akbar? Why's Christians not fighting with anybody in the world except Muslims? Why must you be the only ones disturbing the world?

In the middle east, both Christians and muslims use ''allahu akbar'', ''insha allah'', ''astafigrullah'', etc just like the muslims

kettykin:
The Israeli army reminds me of what the Biafra army would have become had Britain, soviet union , Egypt and Arab world nit stepped in.

You mean like how Palestinians are being ingeniuos by producing high quality projectiles (weapons) with little to no resources in their backyards. If given their state, you can imagine what they woukd have turned their country into.

palsenator:



The haganah , irgun and lehi were all products of 1945 but please go way back to the ottoman empire and see how they legitimate acquire the land which originally belong to their forefathers.

Also, care to provide a credible source to back-up your claim that the Haganah was involved in the purchasing of lands from the Palestinians? It is your claim, so provide a credible back-up.

palsenator:



The haganah , irgun and lehi were all products of 1945 but please go way back to the ottoman empire and see how they legitimate acquire the land which originally belong to their forefathers.

Since you are challenging me to a scholarly debatebon this issue (even though I cannot remmber challenging you to a scholarly debate), lets start with the bolded and do a little fact-checking.

Haganah is established in 1920, according to Wikipeadia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haganah

According to Encyclopeadia Britanica, Haganah was founded precisely on the 15th of June 1920. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Haganah

The Jewish virtual library agrees with the other sources up there. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-haganah

So, all the sources above, which I think have some amount of authority on the topic, disagree with you that Haganah is a ''product of 1945'' as you claimed, but instead, have existed for 25 years before 1945.

If you diasgree with me, then you should present your sources and show that your sources are superior in authority to my sources when it comes to the Haganah being a product of the second world war.

Appletek:


Freedom fighters killing citizens of 4 of the most powerful countries on Earth. Killed Russians and Americans in a single day.

They are not freedom fighters, they are foolish fighters. That's why when Isreal bombed Syria which type Russia supports, Russia didn't say pim.

As horrible as it is, there are collateral damages in any armed struggle. In this case, don't blame it on Hamas, but Israel for thinking they can.do what has failed in all of human history, sit on other people's head.

I am more anti-Islam than you are, probably.
By the way, Israel's retaliation kills innocents too. So, if your definition of terrorists is killing innocents, maybe your beloved Israel is the number one terorrist in the world, and the IDF is their means of carrying out that terror!

I love and admire Israel for what they have achieved, and the immense contribution their people have given the world. But guess what, apartheid south Africa was that IMPRESSIVE as well! They were so impressive that the only Nobel Laureates in the non-Peace category in Africa, are white South Africans, apart from Wole Soyinka and Abdulrasheed Gurnak.

When it comes to the question of Palestinian independence, Israel is damn wrong on their position.

Appletek:


You call them busybodies but are silent to the fact that Hamas killed British citizens in Israel. You're talented fool.

You know where Hamas messed up?
They killed different nationalities in that single attack on the music festival. In one attack, you are killing Americans, Britons, Russians, French and Germans. 4 out of 5 Permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Iran sent you to kill Israeli citizens, you started killing Russians, Britons, Americans, Germans.
No wonder Iran sharply comot hand.

Russia is backing Syria but Israel bombed Syrian airports. Russia didn't say anything. You think it's ordinary?

Since Hamas decided to be stupid and fight without sense, Hamas will over collect from various angles.

Hamas are freedom fighters just like any other freedom fighter in the history of man.

Minjim:


They have an excuse. Their citizens were kidnapped.
Hamas really miscalculated. Jews are in every nation , you go to Israel to kidnap people you may end up kidnapping Americas , British, Africans,etc

They did not miscalculate. As horrible as it is, resistance activities take lives. The Haganah, the ANC's military arm, Umkhonto Wisizwe also took lives. The American continental army, etc.

Gotocourt:
The world has not known peace since the coming of Islam.

Hamas has called for global jihad today, let's see whether our senseless Nigerians will respond. Hamas is likened to APC(suffering,terror, hunger, poverty, insecurity)

Hamas is a political party and ruling Gaza.
Gaza wants a country of it's own using terror

Ever heard of the Haganah?

Akwamkpuruamu:

The holding father in Nigeria, called for total victory for Israel.

Minjim:
Easy there !

This is gradually becoming a WW.
Let's see the nations that'll want to support terrorist- Hamas

You mean like the Haganah was supported from abroad?

Rayban26:


Story. Terrorists are not the type that hear word. They must surrender or continue to collect.

Fvck around, find out.

You mean like Haganah was stubborn?

cjudy:

You don’t negotiate with Terrorist.
Hama bleep up big time. Nobody will like to associate with their peace talk.
They fell for a trap. Do you think those murdered by them on Saturday don’t have origin? Most of them are from US, UK, Germany, Russia, China even Iran self. Once Russia finds out that her indigene was among the murdered person, Russia too will keep mute and watch Israel destroy them.

You mean like Haganah was a terorrist organization?

AVISENNA:
I expected him to have been more diplomatic in presentation,yes Hamas initiated the chaos but isreal too has its own short comings in the scheme of things

There are victims across both sides: men , women and children and most importantly RCCG has Parishes in other Arab countries

This broadcast is a bit insensitive and worst still coming from someone who says he doesn't get involved in politics.

Also, If there is RCCG in Israel, then their members, if they are the locals, are DEFINITELY Arabs, not Hebrews!

palsenator:



But Palestinians are a force for good in your opinion nah... Even the devil is not as wicked as your people

Ever heard of the Haganah?

It is not a shame if you, like most people calling Hamas a terrorist Organization, have not heard of it, which is why you see Hamas the way you see them. But it will be a shame now, for you and all anti Hamas, to no google them and know who they were and improve your perspective on the Arab/Israeli conflict.

soccerlite:



Use your brain

Is Mandela an islamic terrorist

define a terrorist and show that your definition is fair.

soccerlite:


Why should anyone support hamas


If Muslims support hamas, then they support terrorism

You know who else was called a terror?
Rohilahlah Nelson Mandela! He was removed from the US terror watch-list just in 2005! Yes, Mandela was a terror, according to the US and Israel.

You also did not know that Israel helped the apartheid govt in SA to build their nuclear weapon?

sreamsense:
There is no big issue here even if he prays for Isreal. First, Isreal is not the cause of this war, palestine- Hamas went to wake sleeping lion when Isreal was trying to build peace Bridges with saudi-Arabia. So, if pastor Adeboye said this to condone with them, there is no issue because Isreal is not the cause of this war but palestine-Hamas.

Also, RCCG has a church branch in Isreal; he may be praying for his members sake who were affected and provoked by palestine-Hamas and even celebrated successful attack of Isreal publicly. When there is also direct provocation to RCCG members in the Palestine or else where, he will also do same thing, but in this one, palestine-looked for trouble and they are getting it.

Besides, all true Christians are spiritual Isrealites, there is always emotional attachment even though church in Isreal is very very small compare to Muslims. Why Jews don't want to embrace Christianity is well spelt out in the Bible, it is not new to christians. Besides, Christians are serving the same God of Isreal (and not Allah) that old isrealite prophets revealed to the world.

Many Muslims also celebrated attack of Isreal openly and that grand mufti of Iwo even celebrated and said nonsense things that called for support. He never knew, there would be rematch that will silence palestine-Hamas. Now, it is difficult for any world organization to save palestine-Hamas from destruction they brought on themselves because they are the ones that invited trouble to come and eat with them. So, nobody should blame pastor Adeboye, he may be consoling with their members of RCCG in Isreal that were attacked unprovoked

ISRAEL IS THE CAUSE OF THEYL WAR!
THEY ARE THE AGGRESSORS HERE FOR NOT ONLY OCCUPYING PEOPLE'S LAND, BUT ALSO BUILDING HEBREW SETTLEMENTS ON IT.

Princewell2012:


Our Daddy. Adoboye have prayed for Isreal Omokiri should also pray for the Palestine, why does he choose to attack people unnecessary.

because he is the voice of reason here, not your go

palsenator:



Cry me a river. Our prayers are witthe people of Israel. We don't pretend not sit on the fence. Baba have declared where our genuine sympathy stand with.


Obviously you have not been listening to Adeboye and I am not surprised. That's why you said he hasn't spoken against the bad governance in the country.

Good to know that you and your GO are confirming once again that christianity and religion as a whole are a forxece for evil.
Thank you very much.
