She used the media to pass message across. At times I wonder what is wrong with some Nigerians? If you help they complain if you don't they complain

rentAcock:
Its not my job to judge anyone because the old and new testaments seem to contradict themselves sometimes so I say just follow your heart and try to do right. But on Judgement day, i'm afraid that many people may be turned away from the gates of heaven because of these conflicting interpretations.

Gullah:
There has always been heated arguments among Christians and Christian denominations as regards the position of the Bible on wearing of trousers by women. I also had been conflicted about this at certain stages of my development as a Christian but after thorough and thoughtful examination of this matter, I came to a conclusion and I will outline my own argument on this issue with this thread.

Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV)
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

This Bible passage above is where the entire controversy over appropriateness of Christian women wearing trousers or not emanate from

1. Note that it made not specifically talking about women wearing trousers, it does not even mention the word trouser as it wasn't even in existence then. It was talking about what we call Cross-dressing today so the question is should women wearing trousers today be seen as an example of cross dressing?

Trousers were not our clothing in this part of the world, it was a dressing we borrowed from western culture so if we are to determine if it is male or female clothing or not, we need to look to those that own the culture. From my research, the earliest appearance of trousers in human history were in Asia and much later in Europe and much of what we call the western world today.

The question is did women wear trousers in Asia and the western world or was it only for men? The truth is their women wore trousers and it is not a modern thing, they had been wearing trousers long before Christianity came to Nigeria. If Among the people that invented this trousers, women wear trousers, how did Africans who borrowed the culture come to conclude that it is only a man's wear? There are lots of evidence in historical arts that women wore trousers as far back as even before Jesus came.

2. Deuteronomy 22 is a Chapter with 30 verses all giving commandments to be obeyed by the Israelites in those days. They include commandments like,

Verse 9: Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.

Verse 11: Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

Verse 12: Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear e.t.c

The chapter even advocates for the stoning to death of a woman found not to be a virgin on her wedding night. So my question is why do some Christians zero in on only verse five and try to condemn people with it? Why not advocate for the implementation of the entire commandments in that chapter of the Bible? After all, Jesus said if you fail in one, you have failed in all.

My advice to Christians is that Jesus came and became a fulfillment of the law, in other words, he fulfilled all the requirements of the law and introduced an era of grace where it is faith in Him and not observance of the law that brings salvation. It is a deception by the enemy to make us believe that after receiving salvation by grace through faith in Christ, we need to maintain that salvation by trying to observe all old testament laws and commandments.

Offpoint:
Build something of that structure in Nigeria and watch her citizen ruin it in less than a year... Don't even think about it in Lagos, one slowpoke will shít in custard rubber and dump it beside the toilet. The country should be sold to China and her citizens evacuated to Mar for scientific research purpose.
An average Nigerian was born, is born and will be born with the "I don't care attitude" "It's not my property attitude".... Try to correct them and they'll give you the "Na your papa get am" attitude.

There is actually a limit girls dress should not go shorter than according to her age.

Even the Bible supports canning

nairalee:
But I had a lovely moment when I was a baby and overheard just the voice of my mother walking from the outside of the parlour and I started carreessing our wooden door but didn't make headlines nor fp.

Why?

1) Noone captured the moment but we can all swear it happened
2) I'm not a celeb nor a celeb child
3) Even if I grew up to become someone significant in life I'd not still make nairaland front page cos it's dedicated to yoyo celebrities and politicians
4) We all know that the baby prolly always touch the screen but let's just play along
5) We need more reasonable posts on Nairaland so we can exercise our brains

That is one stupid thing about life
Our time on earth is never guaranteed
We are living to die
For every day we wake we are faced with more than a thousand way to die.
You enter plane: he fit crash, dissapear or enter big occean
You use motor: you get car crash
You dey your house: your building fit collapse
You waka with leg: trailer fit run enter you or police mistakenly shoot you
You enter ship or boat: na capsize
You enter drain: the drain go derail



Is like we were born to die
And death is only the beginning


That is why i always live my life in the fast lane
Got police chasing me, smoking weed banging the ladies and boozing
Abeg osazee give me that weed make i tie one wrap

Women always pretend to love themselves.
But deep down in their heart is jealousy and hatred. Even in public they display affection for one another but it is not genuine

Yankiss:
This is inspiring. They should not forget the Nigerian Dapchi girl in captivity. Not just award but continued campaign for her freedom this electioneering period. Women at their best are bae. We need more upcoming ladies to embrace virtue not slaying.

CityNGR:
They should have already known that even if Atiku is a direct descendant of Lucifer and a cousin to the devil himself and bestfriends with Judas, we will try him. Even if he is a paternal uncle to Cain, a distant cousin to Achan, Ananias and Saphira, an elder brother to Pharaoh, a nephew to Herod, Delilah's boyfriend or Portipher's ex-wife's boyfriend, we will still try him. If he ends up like Baba's nepotism, recession, 5% and 95% stereotyping, we will vote him out in 2023. We will keep voting out any error till we get the real deal. Aso rock is nobody's permanent inheritance. We have tried Mr Saint and seen what he stands for. For now, someone should just set to focus on raising cows in Daura.

That's actually not his palace in orodo but that's the edifice built by Rochas for the meetings of traditional rulers in imo state. It's opposite crunchies in Mbari street.

He presides over such meetings as the Eze ndi Eze(king of kings) in imo state.

So op, get your facts right
