If we don't tackle toxic masculinity, it will continue to rip Nigeria apart. #timetoholdmalesaccountable

I heard a while ago a guy matcheted another guy on the back over a girl.

Please is Skye Bank still suspended? What happens to shares owned by current shareholders?

- How long does it take to build an expressway - forever.
- No concept of hardwork (in general) - all they plot is all manner of evil - kidnapping, assassination etc. Always want easy money.
- Leaders have no shame in going for medical treatment abroad.
- Even if every road in Nigeria was smooth these egotistical savages will still be driving like mad men and causing accidents e.g. one way driving.

Are Nigerians the cursed descendants of Ham cursed by Noah. If not wats going on??

Look at Lagos Ambode had great ambitions for the state yet they have brought in someone else. Ambode is clearly a well MOTIVATED candidate motivated by selfless service but let's hope Sanwo Olu will have the same passion.

Naija sha oh.

Pls could you share passenger safety tips for taking uber or taxify at 4am in Lagos.

Nigerian drivers are cursed savages
Nigerians are cursed (those that haven't accepted Christ). This we see from comments blaming the deceased.

Pls what has been your recent experience travelling with this company? Recent meaning 2018.

No it's men that lose - if it weren't men that lose, whoever typed this won't be typing this.

Marriage is a partriarchal institution that has outlived its usefulness.

A woman's youth belongs to her boyfriend or husband; she chooses her style. The women over 30 you clamour are happy.

The Bible says the LORD is a husband to the widows. Even if the "women over 30" you mention in ur opinion have reduced options, they still have God which is better than any male option. But bear in mind there are guys who don't care about age.

Enough of this age sexist nonsense. Man no be God. African men are some of the most vile ego driven idiots on the face of the earth; see how their countries are but their egos won't let them admit this and they keep wasting their time chasing women left right and center and writing nonsense such as this..

You Believe or You Font Believe, Hell Fire is Real... Those who will Die Without JESUS CHRIST today will confirm it...

Let's not wait to confirm it.... Let's Repent and Accept JESUS CHRIST

Yes indeed!!! Heaven is available to all. All it takes to avoid hell is confess with ur mouth and believe in thine heart that Jesus Christ who has come in the flesh is the Son of God.

Fifthwave:
You see, a lot of people are quick to cast aspersions on the existence of God, Heaven, Hell, etc.
Now I ask, why not live your life as though these things do exist? When you die, you stand to lose nothing if eventually they actually don't exist.
.
But, woe betide you that in the end, these things actually did exist. Then it would be "had I known".
.
Give Jesus Christ a chance.
.
The atheists of today are actually Christians who find holiness a daunting task. Hence, they resort to atheism not because they do not believe in God, but because they are too lazy to live a Christian life of holiness.

The Bible predicted majority going to hell. Not too many years ago a pastor saw a vision where born again christians were seen in hell.

My question is since our odds are so low why are they bothering us and claiming its our fault. I tot its Adam that sinned?

Pls note I'm not trying to discourage ppl from repenting and accepting Christ. It's just that I for one don't want to live in terror and horror of hell.... It's just not a way to live. I believe he'll is for d glory of God....

Also only pentecostalism has all these visions of hell. Why are Anglicans not emphasizing that?

....

Ladyhippolyta88:
Thanks for the compliment.

And get lost u Judeo Christian fool and ur Hitler religion that never brings any good news and delights in terrorizing ppl. The same religion that would burn 3/4 of God's creation forever and yet claims it loves them? No more radical Christianity IJN.

Ladyhippolyta88:
It still means you are attacking the church and who told you there are no radical beliefs in the bible.

You are a terrorist.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Nobody is forcing you to attend MFM everybody is free to do what they like.MFM is not the only church that does this or has errors it is virtually in almost every church,so please don't point a finger at one point a finger at all.

I said "MFM style" not MFM. Basically ANY church with radical beliefs inconsistent wiv d bible.

No one talks about this. The truth is absolute / radical MFM style Christianity is harmful because:

1. It rejects the grace of God.
2. It oversteps boundaries. Jesus said: "Go in my name" but they don't want this. They want to command the East wind, draw maps of the earth and identify which spirit is occupying where and identify marine spirits by name etc instead of just praying as Jesus commanded.
3. It portrays God as Hitler who is always looking for who to punish.
4. It leads to inferiority complexes due to feelings of constant inadequacy.
5. It leads to idolatry.

No more absolute Christianity. No more radial Christianity in Jesus name. Amen!

inspite of the fact that Saul had sin and God had rejected him, David did not use that as an advantage to usurp his authority even while had the opportunity.
Michael when having a dispute with the devil did not start to rail accusations against him

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.


You don't go against God because of man or woman, the church is for God and he has total control over her.

Any woman who subject herself to God will enjoy her marriage because God would fight her battles. Through her chaste character coupled with Godly fear she can win her unbelieving husband's heart.

Both men and women are sinners before God.
When a woman is not subject to her husband how can he correct her? Note some women hate to be corrected by a man they see it as oppression.
The whole society has been taken over by sin. Feminism is nothing but a call to reject what God has set down and accept so called freedom or liberation.
Jesus came to reconcile both men and women to God. This world is not our own neither are we the owner of ourselves we must appreciate God for creating we must abide by his rules and not rub it on his face. The enemy is not man or woman or God but the devil who destroyed the relationship God had with man by deceiving eve.

And when a man is not subject to the wife, how can the wife correct him?

Partriarchy is flattering!

This belief that just for being born a man then all power to you.

stallionng:
the op is right,Christ practiced this too,the 12 disciples never had a woman. women can prophesy not pastoring. how can a woman lay hand on a man to anoint him while she may be unclean during her period?
women are not to pastor church.

So men are not unclean when they have erections at the sight of women?

...

Rajosh:
if God prohibits women from teaching in church, why did he empower women like Kathryn Khulman, Amiee Semple McPherson? I believe Paul wrote that letter based on his own understanding.

Exactly. And secondly go to most churches today. The churches are filled with women and very few men. God uses whoever is available.

Also note most men want to stand on the pulpit not becos they want to be faithful followers of Christ but due to the prestige.

2ScrewsLoose:
Was any of his disciples a woman,,, the op is correct you know

Did a man not betray Christ? And was it not woman that birthed Christ physically. Christ chose 12 disciples then because partriarchy was the order of the day then not now.

Feminism is a divinely inspired movement to correct the gender imbalance that male disappointment of God has caused.

Read punch vanguard and guardian then look in ur local community check all the evil men do including sexual assault by pastors. Then check against women.

Then look at the prideful hearts of most African men. See how they denigrate women on this thread based on their supposed eternal privilege.

Then tell me who should lead churches men or women.

By the time most men realize the male privilege they are so quick to quote from the bible is gone, the better for them.

2ScrewsLoose:
Was any of his disciples a woman,,, the op is correct you know

God had power to birth Son of God anyhow He wanted but chose through woman to show female superiority of men in spiritual matters.

Question: "What roles can women fill in ministry?"

Answer: Women in ministry is an issue upon which Bible-believing Christians can and do disagree. The point of separation centers on the passages of Scripture that forbid women to speak in church or "assume authority over a man" (1 Timothy 2:12; cf. 1 Corinthians 14:34). The disagreement is whether or not those passages were relevant only to the era in which they were penned. Some contend that, since there is neither “Jew nor Greek . . . male nor female . . . but you are all one in Christ” (Galatians 3:28), women are free to pursue any field of ministry open to men. Others hold that 1 Timothy 2:12 still applies today, since the basis for the command is not cultural but universal, being rooted in the order of creation (1 Timothy 2:13-14).

First Peter 5:1-4 details the qualifications for an elder. Presbuteros is the Greek word used sixty-six times in the New Testament to indicate “seasoned male overseer.” It is the masculine form of the word. The feminine form, presbutera, is never used in reference to elders or shepherds. Based on the qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, the role of an elder is interchangeable with the bishop/pastor/overseer (Titus 1:6-9; 1 Peter 5:1-3). And since, according to 1 Timothy 2:12, a woman should not “teach or exercise authority over a man,” it seems clear that the position of elders and pastors—who must be equipped to teach, lead the congregation, and oversee their spiritual growth (1 Timothy 3:2)—should be reserved for men only.

However, elder/bishop/pastor appears to be the only office reserved for men. Women have always played a significant role in the growth of the church, even being among the few who witnessed the crucifixion of Christ when most of the disciples had run away (Matthew 27:55; John 19:25). The apostle Paul held women in high regard, and in many of his letters to the churches he greeted specific women by name (Romans 16:6, 12; Colossians 4:15; Philippians 4:2-3; Philemon 1:2). Paul addresses these women as "co-workers," and they clearly served the Lord to the benefit of the whole church (Philippians 4:3; Colossians 4:15).

Offices were created in the early church to fit the needs of the body. Although many modern churches interchange the positions of elder and deacon, they were not the same office. Deacons were appointed to serve in a physical capacity as the need arose (Acts 6:2-3). There is no clear prohibition against women serving in this way. In fact, Romans 16:1 may indicate that a woman named Phoebe was a respected deaconess in the church at Rome.

There is no scriptural precedent that forbids women from also serving as worship leaders, youth ministers, or children’s directors. The only restriction is that they do not assume a role of spiritual authority over adult men. Since the concern in Scripture appears to be the issue of spiritual authority rather than function, any role that does not bestow such spiritual authority over adult men is permissible.

And what makes the men folk so special? It was said in Leviticus that the unclothedness of each woman belongs to her husband yet today women walk around half naked and get away with it. So that scripture is no longer effective because marriage is no longer as relevant as it once was.

Same goes for male privilege. It was once the case that women should not do watever ober men this was predicated on the assumption that men would be responsible.

But today look at wat men do: 419, looting government funds, kidnapping, murder, one chance, idolatry (treating woman as god).

It's hard for men to swallow and hurts the pride bit today a woman can authority over man in church.

TechGod:
Another fool who thinks he is making sense not knowing he is just fooling himself, who told you God was the one that said women should not be pastors, show me where in the bible God or Jesus Christ said anything like that in the new testament ? Is Apostle Paul God, how can you say what a man said is what God said?... You're a fool and you will die of ignorance and stupidity. How can you In this generation of light open your dirty mouth to talk about things you know clearly nothing about ? mumu thunder will strike you dead for claiming this nonsense as the word of God

Very well said.

Proudgorgeousga:
like bible like Qur'an misogynistic as hell

The Bible is not misogynistic. Today men have bleeped up and I believe God has taken away the male privilege men once had. As a woman u can be anything u want to be. Partriarchy was the order of the day during biblical times.

Men are largely unfit for Ministry in modern times and should accept that male privilege has now gone to the women folk.

Geeklady:

The controversial question of whether or not it’s right for women to pastor churches or co-pastor with their husbands has come up again. This time, in one of my circles. My view has been that God prohibits this practice. So I did another study to be sure if my view aligned with God’s.

What prompted this study was when a prominent, well-loved and respected pastor by me and many others came out and said that he supported the practice of women pastors. After launching his new ministry page on Facebook, it featured him and his wife as pastors of their church.

His announcement, through a public video on Facebook, drew almost 300 comments. Half of which included the pastor and those that agreed with the practice, and the rest that didn’t.

It was that argument with both sides bringing up scriptures to justify their position. In those 300-plus comments, all I saw was a back-and-forth about what the Bible says. But no one talked about the dangers of this practice and the end effect on the human soul. And so, this is the reason behind this article.

First off, I’m not against women teaching other women or children. I do believe women can prophesy, and share the gospel. However, I do believe God prohibits women from leading his flock.

So, I will present to you the real reason why women are not allowed to lead and teach men in the Church, I’ll submit scripture to back it up, and then I’ll talk about the adverse outcome of this disorderly practice.

The real reason

The real reason women aren’t allowed to pastor is not because they’re easily manipulated, or too emotional for the pulpit, no, it’s simply because it’s not in their assigned roles as women.

God assigned roles to men and women from the beginning of creation. He expects those roles to be played out in his church as well—there are no exceptions. When the roles are switched, God is angry, and Satan has an entry point.

Let’s see what the Bible explicitly says (this is the apostle Paul speaking):

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer [tolerate] not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (1 Timothy 2:11-14)

You are still drunken with male privilege not realizing times have changed/passed. You hail toxic masculinity that the world is trying to get rid of as the virtue of male preachers.

Men fall too easily into sex scandals that is enough reason why women should lead/preach/be presidents etc

MissWrite:



. The first thing I thought after reading your post: she/he is just young and a bit misguided. But if you registered this moniker over ten years ago, you cannot be as young as your post suggests. So......I really don't know what's happened to you.

You seem to imply that women should be treated like human beings because they are better human beings than men (or have a more positive social impact?). Women do not have to be better than men at anything to justify their equal treatment; they only have to be members of the species. Anyone, either male or female, can be bad at their job, given to violence, stupidly in love, jaywalk or drive badly. The emancipation and inclusion of women in the work place is not a silver bullet to eradicate substandard practice or the mediocrity of the human race. Women should not be saddled with that kind of responsibility. What special debt do we owe to society, that we are required to work off our oppression by being excellent? We are all humans, every one of us surely but uniquely flawed; and still, we all deserve to be seen as equally human. Women don't deserve equal regard because they are excellent; they deserve it because they are human.

To your question: self love and personal integrity won't let me accept this oppression. I cannot not react to it or stand up for myself. And if you're wondering what oppression I'm referring to, please read my post on this from my topics.

I did not say women are excellent. I am saying that men commit most ills in society and they clearly need help from the women folk to curb these. Women helping men also falls under my umbrella of feminism; this is why most advanced countries are advocating for equal male/ female representation in all fields. The statistics do not lie. Men have inherent toxic masculinity.

It's all up to the readers anyway. You brother or sister could be next on the ritual, kidnap or robbery list or accident list.

The choice is all yours!

Back to topic:

1. No more assigning house chores to women because they are the "men of the house". If you are the man get ready to start mopping the floor then cook for your wife immediately after that.

2. No more undue strain on men to be the "man of the house". As a man u should encourage ur woman to work and earn no matter how little.

3. Split bill after date; man pays half woman pats half.

SmartyPants:


Lol.

Men don't commit crimes against women exclusively, in fact men commit crimes against men probably in higher proportions, and obviously, the kidnapper has no regards for anyone's rights whether male or female so claiming that men commit crimes against women has nothing to do with equal rights. SO BEING A FEMINIST, HOW DOES IT SOLVE THE PROBLEMS YOU BELIEVE EXIST?


But don't bother...from your previous answers i can tell you won't be able to answer. Good luck.

I did not say men commit exclusively against women.

It's obvious you are just arguing to preserve your pride and ego when the truth is glaring obvious.

There are numerous stories of male robbers who specialize in robbing women.

Cursed descendant of Ham, get lost!

May thine ego be continually bruised now and forever more. Amen.
