The good book said that only of Adam. Otherwise, what you insinuate is that Jesus Christ, along with all the other prophets, including His disciples who chose not to marry did that which is evil in the sight of God. undecided
Jesus died at the age of 33. Other prophets choose to dedicate their whole existence to God, including Christ; Reverend fathers follow this path this days. It a choice.

For regular people like you and I, a time would come in our lives when the need for companionship supersedes every other need. At this time, you either do the right thing by getting married or do it wrongly by having a boy friend or girl friend.

So wait, you think that with God, there are a different set of rules for those whom you class as prophets and those whom you consider ordinary people? undecided

Bro, if you want to marry, marry!

If you want to stay single, stay single!
It is a choice.

I was only telling the young man the essence of marriage. Which is having a companion in the right way before God and man.

You can also have your companion the wrong way. It is your choice.

so according to you, only those who married as virgins are enjoying their marriages.
STDs is for non virgins or unmarried couples.
You were unlucky bro. Don't generalize
The highlighted shows the type of god you're worshiping: Mammon the god of good luck!

Well i'm not saying nobody passed through the same potter without being harmed but it'll be wise to avoid such consequences if you've heard from those who have suffered it due to their inexperience.

Stop telling the lie in bold abeg! undecided

God who instituted marriage in Genesis 2 vs 15 - 16 cursed the same marriage in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 24 when He condemned Adam and Eve for their sins against Him. He sent Jesus Christ to remind you that your marriages have absolutely nothing to do with the Kingdom of God - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36. So, make we no dey drag God mention into these discussions. undecided

God never cursed MARRIAGE otherwise Jesus Christ God's Son won't attend a gathering where what has been cursed was celebrated! John 2:1-2
Re: What's The Essence Of Marriage?? by Kobojunkie:
Interesting assertions made regarding the person of Jesus Christ! undecided

We are speaking of the same Jesus Christ who proclaimed that He came to save those who are cursed --- condemned---- by God , and not those who are righteous meaning Jesus Christ. He not only associated with them, ate with them but also called on them to come to Him to receive salvation from the curse of Death upon them, courtesy of God, and a path to redemption. He went everywhere the cursed went, attended their parties, ate and engaged them frequently. undecided

I guess Jesus Christ did not Himself not know that He was to avoid all associations with those who were cursed by God. lipsrsealed

You misconstrued everything!

To illustrate imagine the higher institutions of today where cultism, immorality and hooliganism is rampant. If we are talking about condemnation is it the institution that we are condemning or the acts brought into it which wasn't part of the plan when varsities were instituted?

In the same manner marriage was instituted by God to start a family but rebellion against God who instituted marriage is the reason why the first couple were cursed separately.

Note that God called out each rebel before pronouncing judgment against them:
Genesis 3:14-15 judgment on Satan (Serpent)
Genesis 3:16 judgement against Eve (Woman)
Genesis 3:17-19 Judgement against Adam

Please if some students are expelled or rusticated from a higher institution does it mean the institution has been condemned? undecided

So what is your point exactly?

- people shouldn't get married but can have girl friends
- people shouldn't seek companionship
- everybody should remain single

What exactly is your point?

□ God washed His hands off marriage in Genesis 3 vs 16 rendering marriage(childbearing as well) an unholy union in which God not only has His hands in but also no amount of work man does in it can be found pleasing to God.
□ Same way no amount of work man does to feed himself can be found pleasing to God because God equally cursed the works of man's hands in Genesis 3 vs 17 -19.

This is all to say that what men do in and with marriage has absolutely nothing to do with God. Has been that way since Genesis 3 vs 16. undecided

Going by your logic, God lost interest in whatsoever man does the moment he threw him out of the garden of Eden. This is a lie from the pit of hell.

I put it to you this day that God is interested in you, in I and all of humanity.

He was with the children of Israel all through the old testament. Mathew 10:30 says the hair of head are numbered. That's how much God is interested in you, how much more life partner. In addition, my life is a testament to God's love.

It's is clear to me, your argument is coming from the perspectives of an atheist.

Whatever your believe is, I will like to remind you, God is interested in you and he loves you. John 3:16.

Shalom!

1. Nonsense! God's curse renders a thing of no value --- unholy --- and hence not of the Kingdom of God. All that is cursed becomes strictly of the world and labors of men and hence without worth when it comes to the having of a relationship with God. undecided

2. God said in Deuteronomy 32 that Israel is His only inheritance in the land of men. How did you resolve that to mean God cares about you who are not of Israel? undecided

By the way, God curse on marriage, childbearing, the works of the hands of man, and also man's life on earth, in no way means God no longer wanted to harvest for Himself those men who would abandon all of that in other to become Sons of God. Rather it means God rendered all of man's labors, and relationships of no meaning-- vanity --- meaning it is all of this world and not of Holiness aka the Kingdom of God. undecided

2. Rubbish! If you read that same passage beginning from what Jesus Christ said in John 3 vs 14 at least, you would realize that even there, the world referenced by Jesus Christ is the same world that was cursed(condemned to die) by God in the desert over which He then raised the bronze snake for. And that world consists of those condemned to die of the people of Israel. lipsrsealed

The world referred to in John 3 vs 14 - 16 is God's Israel which God Himself cursed and condemned. undecided

You are not a Christian. That I have established. Whatever you typed there, I didn't have to read all because they are purely heresy.

LOL... this from someone whose soul clings tightly to the very system created ny be Antichrists , against Jesus Christ, which Jesus Christ warned His followers they could never be a part of if God is really who they want. grin

ukaface:
huh?
Then who will help the woman be what she is supposed to be?
I am asking for my sister
The man is the head of the man and should provide for the family

The work of provision is not the woman's responsibility, but the man's responsibility, the woman is to care for the family, help in raising children and being the support the man need.

Now as for the woman, she must understand she is to submit to her husband and consider him as his king. Can two work together except they are agreed? Whatsoever would become of the woman would have to be accepted or acceptable to the man. Meaning, the man must approve of it, if the man does not approve of it, she is still to obey her husband. If her husband say, I don't want you working, that's final, but "if the husband agrees", then she can take the step she wants to take. They both must agree. Like I said, the work of providing for the house is the woman's responsibility, if the man has a shop, why is she not there helping her husband in his shop, if the husband agrees to let her open her own shop or get a job, then she can go ahead.

I served in the North and women remain indoors not to show their faces in public, they stay covered up, face, legs and hands, their kids can't seem them, but can only talk to their mother with wall🧱 forbidding them to see each other. My point is, there is wisdom in it.
