Africans and their way of going into conclusion without proper verification. You just sounded like a kid. I don't know your age but what you just typed shows you have seen nothing in life. You have a lot know yet

any experience you have ever encountered bad or good are products of what you know and what you don't know pertaining to the situation in question.
Nobody has ever influenced your destiny making you to experience anything more than what you know.

Or do you have any story sir?
Say it here we will discover the truth right now.
I have bad stories to tell too
God is not mocked.

chival:
Exactly. People don't realise how powerful thought and belief are. Believe a thing and it actually manifests. Say no fearlessly and you win.

that's the point!
Ignorance breeds fear.
Thanks

I'll cite an example. Many years ago, there was this idol in the middle of the road in my mum's village. The law then was that every woman must show her naakedness to that idol while passing that road. Any woman who did not do this would lose her sanity and go raving mad. So whenever women got to the idol, they would lift their skirts or wrappers.

are you sure some men who were custodian of the law were not hiding behind the idol to spy on women's unclothedness?

Now, my grandma was a staunch Christian. She was also stubborn and a renegade of sorts. She moved from a town to the village at some point and created quite a spectacle by refusing to lift her wrapper in front of the idol. Villagers would gather whenever they knew she was going down this road just to watch her defy their idol. Weeks passed and grandma remained sane.

you see?

One of the village women decided to follow in her footsteps and defy the idol. She lost her sanity the very next day. What's the lesson in this? She still had an innate belief in the so called power of the idol.

Belief brings to one only the results of one's belief - Mary Baker Eddy.

exactly!

Iceflox:
Confusing, at the same time, it's true!

yes!

That's why it takes extreme intelligence to practice Christianity.

Are you free from sin by the blood of the lamb?
Certainly not!
You are not free from sin by the blood of the lamb, you are never washed or cleansed by blood of the lamb. Hebrews 10:26

The only condition that will make you free from sin is to abstain from sin by yourself and for yourself and that will only require knowledge and understanding.
An illiterate ignorant person can never abstain from sin therefore can never be free from sin because he simply does not know.
No, not even the blood of the Lamb can cleans him.

What then does it mean to be free from sin by the blood of the Lamb?

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

The new testament comes with the new covenant which is marked by the resurrection of Christ. The remission of our sins through the resurrection of Christ is a spiritual affair and not anything physical.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

also

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

So, your salvation is in your spirit, this is what it means to be free by the blood of the lamb.
That implies, if you commit any sin in this physical life knowingly or unknowingly, you will be purnished for it. There is no amount of blood of the Lamb that can save you.

Russia is a country with responsible government.
Nigeria government is very irresponsible.

There is nothing like witchcraft or juju.
No one is responsible for anyones failures

Where are your evidence that the pastor did not rape the girl?

It's good to come out to denounce rumours, but without evidence the stigma that comes with rumours are like leech to the body.

Acidosis:
You see ^ ^ Christ is the head of the Church, so blaming the Church is like blaming the one person who already laid His life and gave up everything for our redemption. We cannot blame a Church of Christ where Jesus Christ is the head.

The problem we have today is that we have too many unconverted souls in the Church, thanks to leaders who put too much emphasis on headcount.

The Church is not meant for sinners. Christians are supposed to go out there, preach to sinners, and bring converted souls into the body of Christ for teaching, mentorship and growth.

Under the old testament, the man described in your post would have died in the temple a long time ago.

please, can i ask you a question?

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD "CONVERT " ?

donstan18:
Is your Church suppose to be blamed for your inability to change to a better person by giving your life to Christ after many attempts?





Mynd44 Lalasticlala OAM4J

so long the church keeps teaching you people that giving your life to Christ is the same thing as changing to a better person, at that point the church is to be blame

It takes extreme intelligence to see the evidence of God existence because God is extremely intelligent, unlike man. that's why some people will never see the evidence.
Intelligent people will also never force anyone to see the evidence. But the evidence still remain open to anyone who is sincerely willing to know.

I remain in religion for life.
I remain intelligent!

I'm happy and fulfilled knowing all the logical answers to every question pertaining the existence of God.

I'm very happy i didn't end up becoming an atheist during my research about God and before I eventually know the answer.

different strokes for different people

Jochabed:
Oh that was the first marriage ever conducted on earth. Read your Bible again. The king James

do you know what marriage is?
OK, let's use the word wedding to understand what we are saying.
Wedding is simply a ceremony.

There is no place recorded in the bible that there was a formal ceremony involving the parents of Adam and Eve as we do today, when we will invite our parents, friends and other family members to conduct a ceremony.
Infact Adam and Eve never had parents, family members or siblings.
Adam never paid any bride price or break kolanut for Eve

Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.

Bible verse.



Genesis 2: And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Brought her is part of the ceremony.

OK,
I hear you.
Thanks!

nairalandposter:
A marriage is conducted in the presence of witnesses.

God was the witness to the ceremony in this instance.


Sexing yourselves is not marriage since you didn't make any vows in front of third parties authorized by law.

Any other questions?

yes, there are questions.

Is there any scripture indicating that God witnessed a ceremony of Adam and Eve's marriage?

nairalandposter:
What exactly are you trying to justify, since it's obvious you're on a mission?

good!
The op says stay away from sex until you are legally married.
And I'm pointing it to him or her that bf and gf relationship are legally married so long the couple involved are :
1. +18
2. They have agreed to live together mutually and are committed to the relationship till death do them apart.
3. That marriage or no marriage what matters to a union is commitment.

nairalandposter:
You're the one displaying emotions.


Check Genesis 24, do you see the word WIFE boldly written throughout the chapter?

Is girlfriend anywhere there?

but atleast there was no marriage?

Jochabed:
Lol..the wedding was conducted in her fathers house, remember that Abraham sent his servant to go and get the wife.

where was it recorded in the bible that marriage was conducted?
Again, after God created Eve he presented her to Adam. And Adam says "This is the flesh of my flesh, and bone of my bone " and Adam took her.
There was no marriage

Jochabed:
What kind of Bible do you read? Cause the original one we read never stated such.

the original bible tells me that Isaac saw Rebecca from afar and he took her in immediately and she became his wife.
No marriage!

nairalandposter:
Are you ok?

unnecessary question!

Dispute what i have said without emotions.

eme2015:
Iit's left for you to define

exactly!

You are trurhful.

nairalandposter:
No.

lie!
It is already marriage like that.

Isaac and Rebecca in bible were bf and gf, no wedding.

eme2015:
Stay away from sex untill you are legally married

bf and gf relationship involving +18 couples is already marriage yes or no?

what's his name?
Pelumi Olajengbesi

OK, I will search this name immediately to know who is he!

Acidosis:
1. He can do that without necessarily dancing with a masquerade. Doing that is encouraging paganism.

what do you mean by encourage paganism?
So, you cannot encourage Islam?
You as a Christian cannot encourage Muslims to practice their Islam?

2. Reverend fathers believe in Witchcraft, so what are you defending? Your ignorance or your perception of the father's level of ignorance?

yes, it is true that most Reverend fathers also believe in the existence of witchcraft. But that does not necessarily mean that witchcraft truly exist in reality.

3. So why is father on a Roman Robe? Does that white garment look like your African fathers' identity? I won't even bother to bore you with Bible references because people of your faith rarely read the bible. You uphold many tenets from Vatican city far above bible verses.

you cannot bore me with bible reference simply because there is none showing Christians discouraging paganism among pagans.
How will you feel when a non Christian come to discourage you from practicing Christianity.
Contrary to what you are saying, as a matter of fact, Jesus never in anyway discourage the Pharisees and the chief priests from practicing their Judaism

Matthew 23:23 .....But you[pharisee] have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You(isrealites, Pharisees or people practicing Judaism) should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

He was councelling people practicing Judaism(not Christianity) on how to practice their religion. That means he never discouraged them of their religion

[
But overall, do not try to defend everything you do not understand just because those involved are affiliated to your tribe or faith. There is no wisdom in that. You can't be a masquerade in the morning and a Vatican father at night? It does not portray wisdom.

did you see the Reverend father putting on masquerade in the picture?
I'm not a catholic , but i have to say the truth the way it is.
Don't make a stereotype of the Reverend father, saying because he is dancing with masquerade, therefore he is masquerading.

This babalawo -like pastor and actor, na you get your opinion na.
She na you go come put the generational curse on people ni?

The message the Reverend father is passing across is clear.
1. Don't despise other people's religion or their pagan practices.
2. Don't be scared of your African traditional heritage, they are absolutely harmless. There is nothing like juju, blood money or witchcraft, be educated.
3. Africa is your origin, you must not consciously make superior European identity over your African identity for any reason or religious beliefs.
