MaxInDHouse: Guy i don't argue rather i TEACH so that when you refuse to agree with my teaching i will ask you to present a practical application of what you're saying after all whatever we're saying supposed to be applicable among believers. So can you present any discussion you had with me that you actually proved to be a better Bible student by presenting where what you're saying is practiced among true believers? For instance our last discussion on this forum is about prophecies failure on the February presidential election in Nigeria
https://www.nairaland.com/7787399/may-29-2023-why-did
I boldly told you that the gift is no more but you're insulting that that's not true yet you're complaining why all the prophecies of your church people failed.  See someone who is incapable of any iota of independent thought, yapping about "teaching". Wonders shall never end! Here's a typical example: how can a liveing thinking person possibly believe that the gift of prophesy no longer exists?? Even after you were shown several early church prophets, you mumuishly stuck to JW talking points! |

MaxInDHouse: OLÓDO! 
So what's paining you is the authority shey? Well i'm imitating my Master, Lord and King {Matthew 7:28-29} who taught me to speak boldly of the truth whether you like it or not! Matthew 10:27  Notice how Lord Jesus nor any of his disciples never said who Caine married? Or do you think we're the only ones to think of it? They say authoritatively what they can biblically support, not say something like you then try to lie and fudge to support it! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Question Of The Day!!! by PoliteActivist: 1:28pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: Now you're behaving like the Judaists in the first century! 
They always argue over anything that's not clear to them whereas they have no better answer than what Jesus and his disciples provided.
God created just Adam and Eve: two humans
Adam and Eve had children who got married to themselves: the beginning of mankind
Cain ran away from home and later had a wife.
So where did Cain got a female to marry?
Me: since God created only one couple in the beginning and instructed them to multiply then Cain must have taken one of his sisters to where he ran to.
You: no definite answer God's word is mystery so nobody should say anything on that since it was written.
Now what is the work of God's Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to teach us other things?
“I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come". John 16:12-13
If believers in Christ can't give a definite answer as to where Cain got a wife then what confidence do they have in the first chapter of the Bible where it's documented that God only created a pair of humans: Adam and Eve?
Ọmọ just humble yourself and learn the Bible is complete word of God there's no mystery in that unless you're contemplating Agnosticm that says nobody knows the truth about God!  My friend, there are mysteries we have no definitive answers to. You don't lie or fudge the Bible so as to give a "definite answer". Either keep shut or do as the other guy did and say "APPARENTLY"! Example, Genesis has two clearly different creation stories. We don’t know why. You don't lie and say it doesn’t, then lie to prove it, or try to manipulate and twist words! See below, the EXACT words of the Bible concerning Caine. Notice it says "thou has driven me out from the the earth." You don't know why he said that and you don't lie and say he never said that. Maybe (see how I use MAYBE) there is earth (where his family lives), then there is the outer capital Earth!

MaxInDHouse: According to the above commentator since the Bible never stated that Cain married his sister you have lied!  The poster said "Caine APPARENTLY married his sister" In your case, you authoritatively and with some arrogance: "Caine married his sister" The authoritativeness of cause lead to you being challenged which then led to you lying and fudging the Bible.

MaxInDHouse: Ọmọ that's not a lie but the work of God's Holy Spirit {John 16:12-13} that you can't refute since God never created any other human elsewhere apart from Adam and Eve!  Just don't lie or fudge the Bible. Example, don't quote the Bible as saying Caine took his sister to Nod when the Bible never said nor implied any such thing. God works in mysteries, if you don't know or understand something, say so. Don't answer authoritatively then try to lie or fudge to justify the answer. If you notice, I've only HONESTLY discussed circumstances provided by the Bible, without saying that now proves anything, because in actuality it doesn't! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Question Of The Day!!! by PoliteActivist: 4:51pm On Aug 07, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: It's you who is feeling inferior simply because you lack wisdom regarding God's word, the highlighted is your own assumption because God's word said "Cain slept with his wife" this means that he was with just one woman {Genesis 4:17} the same way his father (Adam) started the family with only one woman! Genesis 4:1
I am a disciple of Christ so like my Master, Lord and King i speak with authority when Bible topics are raised {Matthew 7:28-29} we are not like those who can't speak convincingly when handling scriptural topics. 2Timothy 2:15
So once again God's word made us understand that only a couple started the reproduction process that led to a global human race but if you disagree with that just come out plainly nobody is going to flog you for what you don't know!  Exactly what I said about putting yourself in a position where you have to lie. No where in the Bible is it stated or even implied that one of Cain's sisters or even brothers for that matter, followed him into exile. Neither was it implied that he was in any way married when he left - hence God put a mark on him and him alone, to protect him in his wanderings so outside people would not kill him (HIM, nobody else!). Lord Jesus or St. Paul commented on biblical matters authoritatively because they could back them up biblically. Don’t assume their authoritativeness when you have to back yours up by lying or forging what the Bible says! Like I said, it is not by force, you don't have to comment on every biblical topic raised! |
Family › Re: What If Marriage Were Temporary by PoliteActivist: 4:32pm On Aug 07, 2023 |
Exceed15: Don't be deceived. There's no marriage that couple haven't felt like splitting at one point or the other. A lot of couples are still in the marriage just for the children. Forget those paparazzi on social media. At home it is either hell or just managing the situation. To answer your question most people will not renew it? You are right, but not in the sense you think. Marriage certificate is only a very small part of what forces people to stay in a marriage [and most people are "forced"] A better question would be "If you had it to do over again would you marry exactly as you did?" |
Family › Re: What If Marriage Were Temporary by PoliteActivist: 4:24pm On Aug 07, 2023 |
Dtruthspeaker: Driver's license is not even supposed to expire but nigerians do not know their rights.
Secondly, the certificate is not the one fueling a marriage as there are marriages with no certificates and there are separations with marriage certificate. So it has no value. Certificate may mean nothing to you but it is everything to the law. Without that piece of paper you can walk away anytime you wish. But with it, you have to go file papers, hire a lawyer, have a court case with several adjournments, etc before people who don't know you will decide if you can walk away or not, and under what conditions! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Question Of The Day!!! by PoliteActivist: 4:00pm On Aug 07, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: Because he is one of the disciples of the young first century Jewish teacher who prayed:
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: John 17:22
Note your first response to the OP:
Any disciple of Christ supposed to tell the OP directly what has been concluded upon by the BODY of Christ {Ephesians 5:23} on the subject so that the BODY could speak regarding the book they believe with one voice! Ephesians 4:12-13 But since it has ever been inconclusive among you people claiming BORN AGAIN Christians that's why you can't find anyone to agree with you because God's word specifically told us that Adam and Eve are the only two humans created on this planet. So my guy CHRISTIANITY isn't about what each person feels regarding such serious topic because interested ones (like the OP) may ask questions and disparities among so called believers will mean disunity. We aren't atheists who can't come to terms on what is written if the Bible is God's word it should be used to set matters straight among believers {2Timothy 3:16} that's what Jesus prayed for! John 17:17  So you avoid intellectual discussions on biblical matters. Don't give a categorical answer you're then unable to defend or have to defend by lying or forging things not in the Bible (eg: Cain left with people). It is not a must to comment on every biblical topic. Or if you must comment, preface your answer NOT arrogantly state it with absolute certainty and authority, and then when biblically challenged, run to "all Christians must have one voice"! |

MaxInDHouse: What exactly is your problem?
Are sure you believe still the Bible? 
Well according to that book God created only two humans a couple and they are the people that brought about all the humans on this planet. So whether you like it or not Cain took one of his sisters when leaving home God did not create any other human apart the first couple!  The question is, why is a human being that God created and gave a brain INCAPABLE of any type of independent thought or any type of questioning of what he is taught or reads??!!

Christianity Etc › Re: Question Of The Day!!! by PoliteActivist: 10:42am On Aug 07, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: I don't wish to argue with you but the fact that Cain married one of his sisters is indisputable what you should have asked is:
How can someone follow Cain knowing fully well that he has killed his brother who happens to be her own brother too?
But today we all know how women follow men despite knowing their criminal records so it's definitely one of his own sisters who is also cunning that followed him. Moreover remember that there are just few humans back then and to enjoy s€x one must get hooked to a partner and Cain is a prospective husband for that matter.
Thanks for asking, may you have PEACE!  😅 Spoken just like an unthinking automaton fed some info. Where in the Bible does it say anyone followed Cain into banishment? Also, how many children could one woman, Eve, have had. Sooo, Cain had to go to the land of Nod to meet his sister, who mysteriously, without any explanation or logical reason, was already there waiting for him to be banished and come and marry her!🤣 |
Christianity Etc › Re: Question Of The Day!!! by PoliteActivist: 9:48am On Aug 07, 2023 |
MaxInDHouse: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. Genesis 5:4-5
Adam actually had daughters simultaneously but the Bible's Author doesn't mention names of females unless the female did something noteworthy. You can verify by reading and trying to figure out the names of wives of all the men mention from Genesis chapter 1-11 the first time females were mentioned by name after the first woman is the wives of Lamech {Genesis 4:19} even the most historical figure in the Bible Jesus had sisters but their number or names weren't mentioned! Matthew 13:55-56
So Cain married one of his own sisters born by his parents Adam and Eve! Well, let's really THINK through this popular notion that Cain married his sister. After Cain was banished for killing his brother, he settled in the land of Nod. Since no other person had been banished before Cain, we can assume no other person went to the land of Nod before him, and no person went with him. The Bible tells us that upon his banishment, Cain was afraid that in his wanderings “anyone who meets me may kill me”. Remember, no one left before him and no one was going with him. Sooo, where would the "anyone" come from?? The Bible then says Cain marries in the land of Nod - says it in the manner of someone marrying from a foreign land... Well, you know where this is headed. His mother could only have had so many children, it would be a very important detail indeed to leave out - that Cain was sleeping with his sister! Now, try to THINK FOR YOURSELF for a change instead of regurgitating things fed into you, do you still think Cain married his sister that he met in the land of Nod??😆 |

AntiChristian: Anyways, I have never read any report that Eve slept with any of his son or Adam with his daughters!
What I read is that Eve had twins many times and it was always a male and a female!
A male is required to marry the female of another pregnancy! Cain didn't like this arrangement as his own partner was prettier than Abel's.
So they had to make a sacrifice and Abel's was accepted! Don't know where you read all this - definitely not in the Bible. The first set of twins in the Bible were Esau and Jacob. |

Good PM N'Landers. I hope this message finds you all in good health. My name is Jumoke, and I find myself in a situation where I must humbly reach out to seek your support during these challenging times. I am a widow who recently lost my beloved husband in a tragic car crash. Coping with this loss has been overwhelming, especially as I am now solely responsible for providing for my precious baby and myself.
The impact of the ongoing economic difficulties, exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidies, has further compounded my struggles. The ripple effects of this decision have resulted in a sharp rise in living costs, and I have found myself without a stable source of income. As a result, I am facing the heartbreaking challenge of being unable to afford basic necessities, particularly nutritious food for my baby and myself.
I understand that everyone is facing their own set of challenges, and I am truly grateful for any support, no matter how small, that you might be able to offer. Your generosity would alleviate the burden I am currently bearing and provide us with the sustenance we desperately need.
For your convenience, I have provided my Opay account details below:
OPAY Account Name: Jumoke 80 233 48 658
I want to assure you that any contribution you make will be used solely for the purpose of providing nourishment and care for my baby and me. If you are unable to contribute financially, your words of encouragement and support are equally valuable and deeply appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I am hopeful that your kindness and empathy will help us through this difficult period.
With heartfelt gratitude, Jumoke Jumoke you write very well. I hope someone reads this and offers you a job as an editor or content creator - something you can do from home, from your phone. Just curious, how do people send money to OPAY? Oh, RIP to the poor girl. 21 years old at that! |
