anyone who uses RELIGION to value their marriage is either highly brainwashed OR very stoopid.

It's a good thing that being a Christian - a Christ-like way of life - is different from being religious!

MrBrownJay1:
a xtian/muslim or any other brainwashed religious person, is someone whose life is driven by religion (aka a life no better than that same deluded religion itself)

MrBrownJay1:
a xtian is someone who uses their holy book to dictate their actions in life...aka brainwashed by that said religious book. your whole life depends on that religious book.

Your point being?
Most Nigerian Christians actually are not in that category as their actions and activities are not necessarily dictated by the bible.

most Nigerian are not Xtians, they are just deluded people who uses what fit their selfish agenda from that bible, while disregarding the rest....and foolishly calling themselves xtians. you either take the bible as a whole or nothing. you cant be going to church and sing allelujah on sundays and lie/steal/cheat/defraud and kill on tuesdays. thats not being a xtian, thats being deluded.



religion only cares about people abiding by that same RELIGION's rules and regulations, and certainly does not care about the wellbeing of people being married. so.....
- if your spouse is an abusive person, suddenly becomes a deranged/mad person, start to misbehave or do anything against the sanity of marriage, that said holy book would want you to stay married to that demon, even though COMMON SENSE will have any "normal sane" person leave that demon.... and even if that holybook allows you to divorce, it will refrain you from being happy again and getting married again.

- if the key reason for getting married is RELIGION; instead of care/affection/bond/family/love/commitment/understanding/trust/honesty etc... then your marriage is about to fail OR you will live a very miserable life (like many xtians do).

- the main reason for getting married should be care/affection/bond/family/love/commitment/understanding/trust/honesty etc... and sadly, the minute you put RELIGION into the equation, you greatly reduce the %age of opportunity to find such partner.

- RELIGION is black and white, while we all know that life aint (especially with the technology of today) so using an outdated holybook to dictate how married people should live their lives is not only archaic but also very stoopid.

- the reality is that marriage should have NOTHING to do with religion... 1) as a married couple (aka a "family" you guys should be ONE, while religion puts a man as the head of the family and looks down on women. 2) which law would you follow if the country law is the opposite of your bible laws?! 3) religion brings harmony to a couple, NOT satisfaction... because they are forced into doing what the bible teaches them (and NOT what they really want to do).

1. There's a difference between Church goers and Christians, even the devil goes to[s][/s] preaches in Church.

2. Yes, you are right about the fact that religion is about laws. However, Christianity is about love - love for one's self, his/her neighbours and for God.

3. In Christianity, marriage is not compulsory...as long as you can cope with remaining single and it won't cause you to sin.

4. The main reason for marriage is COMPANIONSHIP!

5. No one is forced to remain in or die in a toxic marriage or relationship. We counsel people to stay away if their lives are at risk until it is safe to return.

6. God created man with a free will - as a free moral agent! No one is forced to serve God or to obey His leading.

7. Christianity does not look down on women or anyone! For instance in Joel 2, God says that He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh - both men and women!

FIXED



clap for yourself, bwaaaaaa! love for whoever that bible dictates you "can" love.... what about if that love is from a woman to another woman? what about if your neighbor is an atheist? is your christianity still that ok with it?!?!?!?!



meaning if you can follow the laws of your bible (aka religion), right?



at least we can agree on something.... now tell us all if your "xtianity" allows you to marry a muslim person for that same companionship?!



stay away?! shouldnt you say DIVORCE?! by all means, what do you tell a woman whose husband is a drunk who emotionally physically abuses her everyday, because the bible says he is the head of the home?! to stay away or divorce that demon?!



come on bro, if that was the case then that same "god" of yours wouldnt bring laws that he wants men to follow...aka the 10commandment, does he?!



come on!!!!! the teachings of xtianity looks down on women and believe they are BELOW MEN... . isnt it that same bible of yours that teaches the following:

Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

1 Timothy 2:11-14
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.quote]God bless you

e316:
Disdain and scorn are some of the words that describe the phrase "look down on". True Christian men don't disdain women neither do we scorn them!

There will be no further response from me on this issue.

Thanks for engaging.

God bless!
