tola9ja:Ok. .wow.. so I explain the other one to you and u don't say thanks, u still throw another one in ur pursuit of moral equivalence. .. Okay here is that passage and its explanation; Matthew 10:34-35 King James Version (KJV) 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. *** u quoted verse 34 without 35 because it explains the proper context. Most atheists and Muslims avoid 35. This is one of the verses Christ tells believers what to expect if we decide to follow him. And it is actually happening. Muslims kill their family members if a member decides to leave Islam and become Christians, its in their sh'aria law. You know of the case in Sudan where a man reported his own sister for being a christain and she was sentenced to death. But as God would have it she is alive and well in the USA today despite calls for her execution by her own muslim family. Even in Nigeria, in the time of the missionaries fathers disowned sons who abandoned serving their traditional deity and went to church. Even communists killed whole families for their believe in Christ. The use of the word "sword" is clearly a metaphor. Jesus spoke in timeless parables, he also used hyperbole and retheoric. And just as the verse proclaimed there is no peace on earth because the kingdom is yet to come. now u can bring another and I will explain it to u...no matter how u try u can't compare the word of God to the book of Mohammed (quran ). be smart and renounce islam.. |

tola9ja:Luke 19:11 ASV And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear. ================= You have nothing on Jesus. Jesus never mentioned killing anyone, he's not a murderer like Mohammed. |
| Re: 5 Facts About Forgiveness by Horlufemi(m): 11:07am On Feb 22, 2015 |
tola9ja:read after that verse u will notice something that indicates division in a family. Matthew 10:34-35 ASV Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: Sword here is metaphorical. the same Jesus when he was being arrested told peter to put away his sword. those who live by the sword die by the sword. Jesus is not Mohammed. Mohammed is a murderer, narcissist and possessed. I pity sane people following insane people. Islam is a lie. A lie would be destroyed by truth only. Enjoy your lies. |

generalissimo:Yeah, there's nothing bad in your kind of forgiveness. I presume you don't want to take chances in terms of being friends with him/her/them to avoid any future problem. Your own task is to forgive and you've already done it. |

FrancisTony:Thanks |

generalissimo:Unlike you I forgive and I go back trusting even more than I use to. My mum will say I trust easily. I unconsciously offended a friend last year and all through I just kept saying I don't know what I did to her. I spoke to her and even tho I still don't understand anything till today I still went begging her. I begged her for months, she will just say okey but I noticed so much difference in her. I kept trying but at a point I told myself once its Jan 1st and still the same I will let go. Indeed Jan came and I didn't get a simple HNY msg from her so I allowed her to go. I deleted all out chats and msgs with everything except her number which I kept because I night decide to holla anytime. I did not delete everything because I got tired but because I can't force or beg anybody to be my friend. I live a free live and I see life as....its...its just there and life is not as hard as we take it to be. I'm a very simple person and knowing I have ish with people makes my heart very heavy so I avoid not to so these days I keep friends no more. I think you share my friend's kind of forgiveness, you forgive them but try to be very careful thats why you act the way you do but I want to ask you this. I deleted all I have of my friend because they were making me feel worst. Each time I look at them and remember how good we use to be I became hurt so I deleted all so as to feel a bit better even Knowing the fact that I don't know what went wrong really. Now my question is this, do you feel comfortable staying away like you discribed? @francistony do you think I forgive too much? Or I'm not doing it right or something? |

I think you are right... Most times I tell myself that I have forgiven.... But when something comes up... people around me ... Especially my husband would complain that I didn't forgive. loomer: |

How do you do it? Share the secret please. Me, when someone offends me(especially when we ain't close) I see my self withdrawing. milychocs: |

Amen! FrancisTony: |
| Re: 5 Facts About Forgiveness by Nobody: 1:50pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
LaRoyalHighness:I think its who we are. I can't even keep malice, if I see the person it will be like my heart is going to burst. If I have a misunderstanding with anybody, even tho I'm not at fault or I am I beg just to let peace stay and also give my heart some rest else I will be going lean. |

FrancisTony:What's wrong with comparing holy Scriptures from different religions? It is actually very interesting and educative when you find that different religions pretty much have similar teachings. We have one God!! |

GatJokez:I know. He understands my post. We are friends actually. ![]() |

Herzumpther:I'm not quite like dat friend of urs cos I hardly get really offended let alone demanding apology. I'm always conscious of the fact that human beings arent perfect, we are not the same character-wise. I get offended only when someone deliberately hurt me thinking he/she is right doing so. I'll forgive the person but I will just be conscious and wary of his/her weakness in character and avoid getting caught up in his/her net again. But I won't stop being friend with the person. I think my inability to trust people easily even before they betray my trust is my nature. It's a policy I adopted in my subconscious due to some life experiences and philosophy. As for u, u are not doing badly forgiving and trusting people so easily like that. I think it's also nature. I just hope life doesnt teach u otherwise |
| Re: 5 Facts About Forgiveness by Nobody: 2:38pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
Herzumpther:I didn't get the alert of this mention. Just saw it now. The uptmost thing is that you have already forgiven her. ![]() |
| Re: 5 Facts About Forgiveness by Nobody: 2:40pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
generalissimo:Okey. Hmmm it has taught me otherwise yet I still can't change that part of me. Each time I try I fail so l guess this is just who I am. Unforgiveness is just not my thing and I can't change it even tho I really want to. Now I stay away from people. |

milychocs:What does "happy sunday" mean? Another typical patronising Nigerian expression. I can imagine, you said it with a "dead" smile and plate in hand expecting a penny? |
| Re: 5 Facts About Forgiveness by Nobody: 2:45pm On Feb 22, 2015 |
FrancisTony:Okey. |
