When To Keep Mute by Julivas(op): 8:25am On Nov 20, 2017

Greetings to every member of this noble family�

I found this somewhere and it made me think,
I'm still learning...��about it.

IT'S ABOUT WHEN TO BE SILENT.

The Bible says:-

1. Be silent In the heat of anger - (Prov 14:17)

2. Be silent When you don't have all the facts - (Prov.18:13)

3. Be silent When you haven't verified the story -
(Deut.17:6)

4. Be silent If your words will offend a weaker person -
(1 Cor 8:11)

5. Be silent When it is time to listen - (Prov 13:1)

6. Be silent When you are tempted to make light of holy things - (Eccl 5:2)

7. Be silent When you are tempted to joke about sin -
(Prov 14:9)

8. Be silent If you would be ashamed of your words later - (Prov 8: cool

9. Be silent If your words would convey the wrong impression -
(Prov 17:27)

10. Be silent If the issue is none of your business -
(Prov 14:10)

11. Be silent When you are tempted to tell an outright lie - (Prov 4:24)

12. Be silent If your words will damage someone else's reputation -
(Pro.16:27)

13. Be silent If your words will damage a friendship
- (Prov 16:28)

14. Be silent When you are feeling critical -
(James 3:9)

15. Be silent If you can't say it without screaming it -
(Prov 25:28)

16. Be silent If your words will be a poor reflection of the Lord or your friends and family -
(1 Pt. 2:21-23)

17. Be silent If you may have to eat your words later -
(Prov 18:21)

18. Be silent If you have already said it more than one time - (Prov.19:13)

19. Be silent When you are tempted to flatter a wicked person -
(Prov.24:24)

20. Be silent When you are supposed to be working instead - (Prov 14:23)

"WHOEVER GUARDS HIS MOUTH AND TONGUE KEEPS HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLES" -
(Prov 21:23).

May the grace of the Lord grant you & yours understanding. Shalom ��
�MARANATHA�

"If a man offends not in words he is a perfect man and able to bridle the body". That's what the book of James says.
Truly anyone who observes the mentioned will live above board

Honestly,
I was gonna keep mute myself....but Julivas you have been very deceptive.
I know people won't understand....but God knows...
Anybody who has read my posts on NL know that I have been brutally honest about who I am, my struggles with character flaws and my desire to serve Christ.
But as I am sincere and honest with people, I expect the same.
I despise fraud....
I hate hypocrisy.
I hate liars.
And that is what i have experienced with u.
Who you portray yourself to be on NL is NOT who u have been portraying to me on Whatsapp.
U are a "staunch" Christian yet never once have u invited me to any Christian group on Whatsapp.
U get gospel songs but lie to me each chance u get....please don't let me go there.
U kept claiming "I love u...." blah blah blah.
U wanted me to get u a laptop....and when i didn't u were through with me.
You looked me up online..and even called out a name you believed to be my blood sister.
I have asked for a pic for over 1 month now...and u claimed u couldn't put one up...yet u kept begging me for more pics (some of which would be inappropriate)...
Hence the reason I created some posts about character....
Was trying to be discreet.
Now I am not....i'm being blunt.
And the guys over in the travel section wonder why i am triple cautious.....
This is not Christlike.....but trying to speak to u privately has not worked.
I know i may be banned...and alienated because of this....
I reallt don't want to leave NL cauae I keep getting "yahoo" or "sakawa" boys....
I know folks will consider me "crazy"...and I apologize to those who are following or have held me in high regard. Perhaps you folks can pray for me....
Because what, folks, u are seeing now is a human being who has once again been deceived...and it hurts.
It's never okay to deceive or mistreat someone deliberately. I come from a different culture..but ad Christians....things should be done so much differently.
Hence the reason so many people become atheists.

Sir, you need to be honest....cause even if people don't know and will never know...
God does....

P.S. For your info sir,
This is why i will NEVER embarass him (u know who)...he's not totally false. I may disagree with him a whole lot, but he is who he is and not phony.
I saw what u did....very sneaky move...but God always brings things to light.

Laughing out loud. ....
Good morning and God bless.
I can understand you ma.

My sister, I'm praying for you that your Faith won't fail. Amen!

Julivas, this is not funny o. You need to put up a rebuttal to this. I know you to be a Christian. You have taken over The Christian Chat Box sticky and closed it down with Daily Open Heavens devotional. If the allegations NG is laying here are true, then it's not pleasant at all.

Did you do what she wrote?

Brother,
Thanks a whole lot and yes He is.
Blessings to you as well!
By the way, I totally agree with what you wrote back in your older thread.

Oh I'm sorry brother. Not trying to get you upset.

I'm not upset though (I don't get upset online) I'm rather lost but I've taken time to read your first post on this thread and I'm not as confused as before

I know brother. That's one thing about you...you have handled yourself pretty well.. most times.
I must give you credit on that... (religion aside).
I need to learn a few things from you on that point...

U know what amazes me though? Some of these NL guys talk with me offline...but act as if I'm non-existent online.
They don't know me on NL...but they "blow up" my phone off-line.
Oh well...will never have an answer for that.

Oh please don't let me distract you from your usual posts...

Re: When To Keep Mute by analize701: 9:14pm On Nov 24, 2017

MsNgo40:
Yes he did what I wrote and much more.

I had an issue with a man several months ago...and the only thing that I did wrong in that case (in terms of allegations)was NOT having proof that the man had a family (which I thought he had).
I humbled myself and publicly apologized (for that one thing...cause all else was true)...
He and I just spoke on the phone two weeks ago...so no hard feelings.

I don't expect support...but I will keep saying this: God knows.

Anybody can say or do anything in a faceless forum...and not be held accountable.
I expect that above mentioned behavior from those who do not carry the name of Christ.

Sis, is Julivas a male? The moniker reads Female.

I'm sorry for the pain this is causing you. My dear coining into this forum you ought to have settled down and observe your brethren back home. Nigerians take pride is stealing from those who trust them. It's very risky trusting a Nigerian.

Pls don't make that mistake again.

Oh I hope he isn't a female....I have never seen an "F" by the name. Yikes...
I've been speaking with a male on the phone.....
As much as I may want to "paint" all people under 1 umbrella...I simply can't.
Nigerians have a terrible reputation here in the U.S...and honestly it's hard NOT to have suspicions because of that.
My brick wall will remain high...but I will take down maybe "1" brick......

But I know that not every Nigerian carries wrong motives.....
However, it is wrong to assume...(which I have been guilty of many times).
I give people a chance.. the maybe another chance...then see what will happen next.
I have to exercise my Christianity here in this instance and truly forgive, forget, and accept any blame for what I did wrong and could have done differently.
Humility (in my life) is a powerful thing....and it's very important.
I refuse to hold any grudge against anyone...it's not representative of Christ.

Sorry about this. I just went back to check where i have seen the Julivas's moniker and it's not indicated if it's male of female. I general thought it was a female moniker.
