shocked U probably don't have enough brainpower to check the bloody history of christianity? They fried people alive in boiling oil for refusing jesus.
the choice mode of killing for jesus back in the roman empire was forcing a pole thru the rectum of a man and hammering it, until it comes out from his mouth. For a female, they place explosive in her pussy and detonate it, all in the name of evangelism for fake mythical jesus.
Till date, no religion is more atrocious, evil and dangerous than the Christian religion.
Yes you are right using an ignoramus mindset. You are right you know even by making a disastrous choice for yourself. Keep it up

The bible is a great book but it needs to be revised.
That part should be written as "he who decides to marry should get ready for anything".
Not only that Paul refused to marry (Jesus also refused to marry), he wrote in 1 Cor. 7:8 that if anyone is not married, let them remain like that.
Read Revelations 22 vs 18........... grin grin grin grin

bixton:
1Cor.7.27 - Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife .

The above simply says if you are married do not divorce her and it's both ways for the couples. If you are not yet married do not desire to be married.





1Cor.7.28 - But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you .

The above says if you desire to marry and be married it's not a sin and you have not sinned and though she may be a virgin.
The issue about having trouble in the flesh, have to do with the wife now will have to put herself subject to her husband.



Modified:
Both verses has in it's context the role the woman plays in her committed service rendered to God put into consideration.
We should note that it's same for the man as well.
from my understanding, the bible advice us not to get married to avoid the trouble of life...

1 Corinthians 7:27-28 EASY
[27] If you have a wife, do not try to send her away. If you do not have a wife, do not try to marry.

[28] But if you do marry, that is not wrong. And if a young woman marries, that is not wrong. But people who marry will have many troubles during their life together. I want to save you from problems like that.
Re: The Misconception Of Proverbs 18:22: Advice To Young Men by TOPCRUISE(m):
Depending whether the person you marry is a liability or an asset.
She is a wife if she is an asset and just a woman if she is a liability.

shocked The only one who is ignoramus is actually you. No choice i make is disastrous. Every one of them, is borne out of insight not assessable to people like you.
So, can we now return back to the destructive concocted Christian faith?
Thats the issue and not my choices

Not every translation is usable and able to pass the real intended message and that's why for Bible study people are referred to KJV/NKJV and Amplified versions.
This Easy translation especially the later part of verses 28 is more of the letter than the spiritual aspect.

The meaning of Jesus is Iesous, which is SON OF ZEUS. Since Zeus has many children, the particular one worshipped by Christians is Dionysus [lord of heaven] [only begotten]
Jesus is a Greek idol. whos father Zeus is also known as Satan.
Jesus cannot save anyone.
Christianity is the ignorance of venerating foolish Greek gods.

Proverbs 18:22 which states that "He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favours from the Lord".

It’s a huge misery how white men were able to brainwashed humans till date using religion..

It’s very unfortunate..
But white men don't believe in marriage. Stop calling it a white man religion.

Africans have traditional/cultural marriage before Christianity came.

Ur writeup is incoherent.
How is white man close to god cause he wrote bible?
In many places. the bible is a copy-copy of other ancient texts much older.
As for creation story in the bible, its a childish copy work from the Enuma Elish which predates the bible by thousands of years.
it happens that god never created anything on earth! not even man.
he came here as an alien from another planet and since then, behaved like a slave-master till he died grin

Many young men have delved into unfortunate marital union based on the common misconception attached to Proverbs 18:22 which states that "He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favours from the Lord".

Do not be deceived. There is no scientific, cultural, social, religious or economic evidence that once a man gets married to a woman, he begins to obtain favours.
You contradicted yourself unknowingly with the two paragraphs!

God's word didn't say
"when a man gets married"
but
"when a man finds a wife"
You can find a wife in any geographical location on this planet it might even be a girl living nearby but it takes the grace of God to IDENTIFY a wife because most people think it's the woman you marry that's a wife but that's the world's thinking not God's.
Try to meditate thoroughly on that phrase again:
When a man finds a wife!

Check the qualities of a wife in the Bible book of Proverbs 31:

Who can find a capable wife? Her value is far more than that of corals. Her husband trusts her from his heart, And he lacks nothing of value.  She rewards him with good, not bad, All the days of her life. She obtains wool and linen; She delights to work with her hands. She is like the ships of a merchant, Bringing her food in from afar. She also rises while it is still night, Providing food for her household And portions for her female servants. She sets her mind on a field and buys it; She plants a vineyard from her own labors. She prepares herself for hard work, And she strengthens her arms. She sees that her trading is profitable; Her lamp does not go out at night. Her hands seize the distaff, And her hands take hold of the spindle.  She extends her palm to the lowly one, And she opens her hands to the poor. She does not worry about her household because of the snow, For her whole household is clothed in warm garments. She makes her own bed covers. Her clothing is of linen and purple wool. Her husband is well-known in the city gates, Where he sits among the elders of the land. She makes and sells linen garments And supplies belts to the merchants. She is clothed with strength and splendor, And she looks to the future with confidence.  She opens her mouth in wisdom; The law of kindness is on her tongue. She watches over the activity of her household, And the bread of laziness she does not eat. Her children rise up and declare her happy; Her husband rises up and praises her. There are many capable women, But you—you surpass them all.  Charm may be false, and beauty may be fleeting, But the woman who fears Jehovah will be praised. Give her the reward for what she does, And let her works praise her in the city gates. Proverbs 31:10-31

The above is description of a WIFE MATERIAL not just a marriage mate.
God bless you and may you have PEACE!

shocked gospel is combination of god + spell. Its a spell essentially. The so-called gospel was NEVER written by Mattew, mark Luke or john. Uptil today, the Greek scripts of the gospels has no authors at their headings. The writer of 1st peter is not the writer of 2nd peter. Paul did not write more than 4 or 5 books of the NT. The Holy Spirit is a female. And LORD or YHWH is Cronus, i.e Zeus' father.
Solomon never existed, talkless of writing Proverbs. Christianity is a massive pathetic fraud. One has to really be an out-out fool, swallowing cooked-up thrash u typed above, without trying to verify the claims.

If you clearly read what I posted then you'll know what Jesus clearly means.
You can call it a pathetic fraud but then this is what the Bible says even as said by the way Apostles.....

1Cor.15.19 - If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

Matt.1.21 - And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."

The meaning of JESUS is in the text above. I hope you can find it.


Luke.1.31 - And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.
Luke.1.32 - He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.


The meaning of JESUS is also in the text above. I do hope you can find it.


You just remind me of those people Apostle Paul met in the city and in that temple where they had statutes of various idols they worshipped with their names on it and with one statute with inscription unknown god.

Many young men have delved into unfortunate marital union based on the common misconception attached to Proverbs 18:22 which states that "He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favours from the Lord".

Do not be deceived. There is no scientific, cultural, social, religious or economic evidence that once a man gets married to a woman, he begins to obtain favours. If a man begins to experience favours in his life after getting married, it clearly shows that there are some unique and profitable qualities the woman possesses. It could be that she has financial wisdom, an astute business person, a prudent and wise woman who knows how to create and sustain wealth or a supportive wife that can go out of her way to see that the family succeeds.

As a man, don't ever you think that immediately you tie the knot, favours begin to troop in through doors and windows because your wife has two large breasts and a vagina in between her legs. You have to be very intentional when getting married except you have no mental picture of the family you would like to build.

"He who finds a wife (a good, wise and prudent woman) obtains favours from the Lord". Not just any woman. If you marry the type of woman that doesn't mind using your child's WAEC fee to buy shoes, bags or asoebi, and still expecting to obtain favours from the Lord, you will soon meet your Creator.

Let us not deceive ourselves. Marriage doesn't just bring favours because you exchanged vows and you have 'kissed the bride'. If you are a hardworking and ambitious man, favours will be obtained from the marriage if your wife is someone who has substance, prudent and sees opportunities even when they are not clear.

Happy Sunday and Merry Christmas in advance!
Bible is 100% right. God has equipped women with fortunes a man need In life. U don't just marry any woman later u complain of proverb statement. But marry d bone of ur bone, d flesh of ur flesh, u can flourish in ur wealth from God!
