MrPresident1:
1Thessalonians 4:13
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

The people or them which are asleep is not talking about the literal dead or literal asleep, it is a reference to genuinely righteous people anywhere they may be found all around the wold. The are the second or latter fruit because Christ is the firstfruit.

1Thessalonians 4:14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Jesus Christ is the firstfruits from the dead meaning that Jesus Christ and indeed all the holy disciples and apostles will be the first to wake up mentally. This verse is saying that all the righteous people who are still mentally dead will come to life when Jesus returns. They will resurrect from their mental graves at the return of Christ.

1Thessalonians 4:15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

What Paul is saying here is that at the time of the return of Jesus, he will have reincarnated and will be on earth. He will also be mentally alive because he is part of the firstfruit

1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Paul is telling us that the Lord will descend from heaven to earth with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the trump of God. The meaning of all these is that Christ will return in a mighty clap of thunder. Thunder is the voice of the archangel, it is the shout of the lord, it is he trump of God. At this mighty clap of thunder, the mentally dead will come back to life suddenly! They will rejoice and their inheritance will be glorious forever.

1Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The firstfruit that are mentally alive and the latter fruit that will come alive only at the coming of Jesus will both reign over all the earth

1 Thessalonians 4:18
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

let us comfort ourselves with all these glorious promises.

Praise the LORD forever!

I disagree with your interpretations on a few things but mostly accurate

MrPresident1:
Psalms 124:7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

So scared man. I took the first dose of the astra Zeneca vaccine

I will not take the 2nd dose.

And I will draw near to God.

I never believed end time prophecies cos i never understood them

This is now clear as day

God bless

MrPresident1:
Along the banks of the River Niger where thy came to hibernate after the LORD had chased them out of his land in the middle east/Asia, Esau still came to find them there. He showed them pepper.

But his time has ended. The LORD will avenge his people with great vengeance, from the lords on his throne to the dogs on Nairaland, they will all know his great wrath for their great unceasing and unending wickedness to his dearly beloved and apple of his eyes.

What effrontery!

I love you bro

We think alike

Only few are chosen

May The one and only mighty Yah our creator give you more strength

Great post OP.

Amen to all.

Amen !

Bro, why not MAKE her the kind of woman BY FEEDING HER BETA FOOD... with GOAT MEAT

Giving her lots of milky snacks and oily treats.

Then she can take fattening pills if she is toooooo skinnyyyy

then wear skimpy skirts to reveal her ELEPHANT LAPS o while maintaining a shapy waist...

BOTTOM LINE:
TRUE LOVE CAN BE GROWN, it doesn't happen overnight

You made me laugh with that! Alot of wisdom there too!

She doesn’t live with me yet so the fattening process has not yet begun

But we shall embark on it once we marry and she moves in with me, including exercise

I agree with you, it’s better to build your woman to your own taste rather than going for ready made. You will appreciate it more.

jimmyjackz:
hi do u guys think the moors were similar to one of those secret societies both with their wealth of knowledge and motives. were they traitors?
Why was Morocco the first nation to recognize America's independence?

or were they the reason Europeans couldn't penetrate sub Saharan Africa? because after the fall of grenada the in 1492 the first slaves to arrive as part of a labour force in the New World reached the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) in 1502.

excuse me for reviving this thread

There was an ancient link between the moors and America

Columbus got the knowledge of the compass and the directions to America from the moors apparently.

There was a mutual respect for some time, even a treaty.

greatnaija01:


You do not LOVE any woman. You just want all them for wrong reasons. LUST? you want to LUST? then you are lost.... LOVE contains physical attraction. If you love character, you will find how to LOVE the body.


I love your sincerity... But I need you to look into yourself and find LOVE. You just want good character and badass sex. But you need to LOVE her 100% o.... LOVE DISTRACTS FROM LUST.

There is no lie in your post

I do love my current woman.

I was reflecting on my original question and confusion

And I resolved to go ahead and marry my fiancé, but I will have a sit down with her so she can work on being all that I want body wise. She already has the blueprint, I just need her to bulk up in the right places, it’s also gonna involve exercise/toning and I will walk down that road with her

She gives me peace.

One thing that gave me joy is that I have never cheated on her, not Even once. I feel proud of myself

Thx for your wisdom

I think most African men prefer BBW women

A less significant proportion like slim women

But a lot of men marry women that are not their spec

Cos of character/godliness

And they might cheat a lot with their true types later on

Sex vs love
Sexy woman vs cute

My current fiancé is someone I genuinely care about.
I just fucking care about her. However ..

My previous two exes were like the bbw type women, and honestly that’s the peak body type that brings out the animal in me. Currently fighting strong desires to bang one of them once more

My question to the sages here is

Is it possible to find lust in your partner after finding love ? Cos I love my woman. But I don’t lust her. On the other hand I never truly loved my last two exes, but I did lust after them a lot

I pray I find lust in my woman. If I don’t find it soon, I might come clean be honest with her and break it off.. but that could be a risk cos finding someone who truly gives a f.uck about me might be impossible again

I just pre-ordered mine, 512gb in graphite

wealthyhenry:


Congratulations sir. And a very big one at that. But please if I may ask, Have you had sex within this past 1 year? Is this a celebration of both abstinence from masturbation and sex?

Please I'd really like to know, cos I'm also on the same journey as you.

Thank you sir.

Yes that’s a good question

You’re asking him if he’s practicing semen retention

Semen retention is the real deal

A lot of benefits

Congrats!

That thing can be a lifelong challenge to quit

It Ruins relationships/marriages !

It’s not real sexuality

Wish someone could hack all pornsites and bring them down for good!

No

Salah is a descendant of invader Arabs

Egypt was known as kemet “land of the blacks”

Big yansh is a fetish

Most men want to settle down with the classical looking female(slender, slim) but fantasize about banging big booties

kingbee90:
PEACE OF MIND is what every Nigga is looking for. And peace of mind is what TONTO couldn't give this Nigga so he found it in another bîtch.
It also seems this Churchill guy likes bad bitches too. But he settled for a bîtch who gives him peace of mind.

“Bitch” and “peace of mind” in the same sentence is oxymoronic

Great discussions

It's possible the holy spirit chastise you for going to Islam because you may not need to convert to Islam based on your life and destiny also the spirit of the church you attend may also not want to let go, many people will see different thing if they pray from home because churches have their individualistic peculiar spirit which will lead members based on church doctrines and it may not be the general leading if the holy spirit. For example a deeper life member can receive visions of hell for wearing makeup whereas Paula White and Joyce Meyer are also ministers if God wearing makeup and trouser. The qur'an says one if the tenets of Islam is to believe the best of testament, new testament, Psalms and Quran, it say God sent all those books and if you don't believe them you are not a muslim

Wow I think you just gave me a new insight on things

Respect

Good luck on your spiritual journey in Islam

CXLVII:


After effect of cannabis. You probably could have been mentally distorted when you did cannabis and still hearing voice in your head. It’s normal! Smokers call “INSPIRATION”. Not God talking to you.

Hmm. But I haven’t touched cannabis in years

Also the voices aren’t spewing random thrash. I get guidance and predictions of things no one else can know but a supreme being

But I haven’t heard anything since February tho

Amiteye:
maybe you are confused. Just maybe

No that was in the past

I’ve since settled for Christianity since 2019 now

I had an experience where only Jesus came to my rescue. All the other systems I was in failed me until I just tried the last resort. Since then I have known he is the superior spiritual force

Eriokanmi:
Yes. If you hear from God, you'd not be dragging any spirituality with pagans bro. They're so much here on nairaland. Many of them soil their hands into lots of bizarre stuffd, as is of old. I pray God opens their eyes to see the truth. If you had never tasted honey, you can't relate how it tastes...that's what I can liken pagans who have never tested God to. Their life is in serious danger. Shalom!

I’m currently not on the right path tho.. but I say a word to Jesus from time to time

But I had to clarify those naysayers cos my personal experiences cannot be taken away from me.

The thing is, God will only get closer to you if you make the effort. And most of them don’t even believe he exists, and he doesn’t need to prove himself to anyone

I wish you nothing but good things bro

Peace

vannessa7:


I was led to Islam by the holy spirit and I fought the revelation a long time before converting. Allah and Yahweh are the same even if nigerian christian differ, it's just the covenant that differs, I guess you haven't read the Quran because if you have you will see it's like a commentary on the Bible. I confirmed all these questions in prayers before reverting to Islam. Islam is best likened to the old testament while grace in christianity through Christ make it seem like God is soft and if you are dealing with satanic forces like I have been unfortunate to christianity can only help to some extent. The evil powers are also covered by grace and they keep coming back whereas Islam exterminate them everytime.

That’s weird

From my own personal experience both religions were spawned by different Gods

I know because when I was in islam, the holy spirit chastised me for it. And when I was in Islam and my parents did not support, I know what I heard from Allah/Islam and it wasn’t favorable

CXLVII:



God spoke to you?

Do you smoke marijuana?

Yes the Holy Spirit spoke to me.

I have experimented with cannabis yes.. but that was a long time ago

dboo442:
you are fool to think I don't know,next time read my text carefully before quoting me, hypocrite to plenty for this nairaland haba

No need to insult or be angry.

Stay cool. Didn’t mean to offend.

I apologize I didn’t read it correctly

Peace

vannessa7:


Believe me people actually hear from God. The fact is the holy spirit will deal with you based on your personal need and if getting to the church on time is Adeboyes need the holy spirit will guide him to avoid traffic. When I was doing my masters program the holy spirit revealed all the questions that came out in the exams to me. I didn't see anything but I just knew exactly what will come out and what to read and it came out exactly like that. I used to be a church minister and I would see visions of what is going on in the life of my members and I would guide them according to what God revealed to me and it will be confirmed. As for nigeria's problems I know a solution to it that will make nigeria a developed nation but I don't know anyone in the seat of power to tell, this is not a joke

Why did you go to a different God (Allah) when you were being guided aright by the Christian God ?

I also practiced both Islam and Christianity and I will tell you Allah and Yahweh are different spiritual personalities.

dboo442:
This man words always touch me even though I don't attend his church, he once heal me from terrible itching and painful eye through the power of GOD he carries.

It was God who healed you brother not pastor adeboye

Eriokanmi:
It amazes me from what I've read so far how pagans thrive out of ignorance. They don't believe God actually talks to His own. Many are in serious bondage I must tell

Facts

They are ignorant my guy

God speaks and God also heals

I have experienced both so we all cannot be lying

Emaprince:
ok ma


"That she has some issues doesn’t mean she has no good part. It is your type that forgets all the good someone did for you and announce the bad with loudspeaker. You would probably be worse than Tonto when aggrieved."

Wrong!! I am one of the few people with good heart on this earth. ..You can take that to the bank.

Bro please don’t type in that font style

I thought it was righteousness

simplepee:
She still won't learn. Maybe na kpokpogarri be the next one. Love kee her there, we women should all learn how to love with our heads.

Jumping upandan like some teenage village girl over a man. Mumu woman. Serves her right till she do some growing up.

Facts. All you women should learn to love with your “heads” for real

The sickest head game will lock down any man!

Remember to swallow

phemmyfour:
how many Wcup have you watched? Indomie generation

I don’t know what you gain by being rude online

I stated my opinion

People so angry these days for no reason

Some towns in the niger delta/SS have the best road networks in the country apart from Abuja

The NDDC input is felt in those states

I was shocked when I went to sapele town in delta state

They have very decent road networks in that town

South west, our problem is we think lagos only. We all relocate here and forget our towns

I know many Yoruba families who have no properties in their state of origin, but have a lot of investments in lagos

GeneralPula:


Generally accepted? Is there Minister of polygamy somewhere? Or you’ve subjected yourself to man made laws? People been practicing polygamy since the beginning of time and up till date..

It’s your world bruh. Is someone or something holding you from doing whatever you want?

See bruh, you better do whatever you want cuz eventually, the only thing we’re likely to regret are the step we didn’t take..

You are right.

I need to rethink my current engagement cos even tho I’ve been faithful so far, with my current rate of fantasies and looking up women on Instagram

It’s a ticking time bomb

And I do not want to hurt my woman

So I probably need to rethink my coming marriage
