I asked him a question but he has ran away. Rwanda isn't Nigeria where he can just do anyhow he likes, that's why Nigerians prefer Uganda and Kenya for Rwanda. In those two other countries u cud do any how and just bribe ur way out if u are caught, but dare that in Rwanda and u will be sorry. I had encountered their police when I was there and I deliberately acted very unruly just to see for myself how they would react and to my surprise, they acted in the way that can only be better compared, or even better than their counterparts in the western world. I wasn't into business when I was there but most Nigerians I met there that were in business never complain of any of those things that fellow said here. Rwanda, or Kigali is the type of city I would like to live in if I choose to settle in any other African country apart from Nigeria. I like a country that is well organized, in fact living in Rwanda is like living in a house or compound where the landlord and his family also resides, every tenant in that compound would be forced on their own to behave because of the presence of the landlord, unlike when u live in a compound where it is only the tenants and no landlord, everybody will behave as they pleases, no one to correct another. I love Kigali and how disciplined the people are and whoever that is not comfortable with that can go to where he or she will be allowed to break the laws of the land and do watever they pleases with impunity. Do any how in Rwanda and u will see anyhow, period.

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

What does the Bible say that helps us to understand what the soul is?Gen. 2:7: “God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.) (The part of the Hebrew word here rendered “soul” is neʹphesh. KJ, AS, and Dy agree with that rendering. RS, JB, NAB read “being.” NE says “creature.” Kx reads “person.”)1 Cor. 15:45: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” (So the Christian Greek Scriptures agree with the Hebrew Scriptures as to what the soul is.) (The Greek word here translated “soul” is the accusative case of psy·kheʹ. KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, and Kx also read “soul.” RS, NE, and TEV say “being.”)1 Pet. 3:20: “In Noah’s days . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (The Greek word here translated “souls” is psy·khaiʹ, the plural form of psy·kheʹ. KJ, AS, Dy, and Kx also read “souls.” JB and TEV say “people”; RS, NE, and NAB use “persons.”)Gen. 9:5: “Besides that, your blood of your souls [or, “lives”; Hebrew, from neʹphesh] shall I ask back.” (Here the soul is said to have blood.)Josh. 11:11: “They went striking every soul [Hebrew, neʹphesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword.” (The soul is here shown to be something that can be touched by the sword, so these souls could not have been spirits.)
Can the human soul die?Ezek. 18:4: “Look! All the souls—to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son—to me they belong.

Ken4Christ:


Burning an object that is physical is not the same thing as burning an object that is spiritual or none tangible as far as this physical world is concerned.

So, the physical body can be burnt up but not the soul of a man.

The soul is simply tormented in the flame but it is not burnt up.

I responded because you mentioned me earlier. After my response, you went all accusative. Any way Sha...

Is BetterChurch your alternate moniker?

nairamaniac:


Okay. You are right about me making conclusions about how the op and husband approached the other family about the issue.

I only got picture based in step by step narrative put in here by the OP.

Maybe the Op should be nice enough to tell us on how they approached the other family as regards the issue.
Were they more of accusative than interrogative?

ibkayee:

You don’t know the details of the discussion they had. You don’t know the manner in which they asked, or whether or not they outright accused them. All we know is that it was addressed and then there was a fallout after discussion. You don’t know anything about who or how anyone was aggressive during that discussion. We just know that the dad turned his back AFTERWARDS.


Nothing about this quote tells us how the message was relayed, worded or the details of the engagement except that he was angry when he brought it their attention.

Like I said, all we know is that whichever response he got from them caused him to turn his back and ‘shut’ his father up. So I still don’t know how you know they ‘compromised’ anything since the only thing we’re aware of is that they addressed it with their family, there was some sort of engagement that we know absolutely nothing about, the family denied it and then the dad turned his back on them and his shut dad up in response.

Were they not meant to be angry or address it? You aren’t actually privy to the details of the engagement that occurred between the families.


‘Breaking down’ could have manifested in multiple different ways, she did not actually detail what actions they took except addressing it with the family.


I didn’t say you said they were innocent, just that the assumptions you made were conveniently in favour of the family despite your ‘neutrality’ stance.

A truly neutral person would not be filling in gaps he thinks may have happened in the story in favour of anyone at all. E.g. your assumptions on the mum and dad ‘compromising’ the situation despite not having any details on the interactions

In case you are unable to follow the link I gave you above, the following should help you.


Just as we have the nominative(subject) case and objective(object) case in English and the form of a word(usually pronouns) changes with cases.For instancd, He is used for the nominative case while 'him' is used for the objective case. Both refers to singular male person. Another example is the word 'they' . They is used In the nominative case while 'them' is used in the objective case. They both refer to plural male person.

Similarly, in Greek, a noun has up to eight cases. Theos is used in one case and theon is used in another case. They bother refer to the noun God.

haekymbahdx:
sorry for quoting you do you mean just like God and god are different forms of the same noun (GOD) but has different meanings and interpretation.

I was only wondering why the author of John 1:1 didn't use the same words either Theon or Theos in the same sentence.

I pity you if you step your foot into that place. Many girls will have their destiny stolen. The super natural is real, it's not a matter of superstition. There are so many things out there without logical reasoning. Be careful.

Bishopkingsley:


The apparent differences in spelling between the word ‘God’ in the phrase ‘and the Word was God’ (‘theos’) and in other places, (even in the previous phrase, ‘and the Word was with God’ (‘theon’)) is due to inflection in the Greek language.

Each Greek noun normally has 8 or 9 forms (cases & number) in which it can appear. (). In the first instance in John 1:1 it is the object of preposition and thus is in the accusative case. In the phrase in question,

it is in the nominative case (indicating the subject or predicate nominative - equal to the subject). But it is the same word for ‘God’, and in both phrases here indicates the One and Only True God.

So the apparent difference is spelling is not because ‘theos’ is a different word than ‘theon’, but is a different form of the identical word.

Janosky:


Greek lexicon 1513 2316 = was a god.
Proof : Acts 28:6 & John 1:1.
Greek 2316 theos ,2nd meaning is "a god".
In John 1:1, first theos - 'ho theos' the Father.
In John 1:1 "the word,2nd theos means "a god"
IYKYK.

People also ask
What does the verse John 1 1 mean?
[It] is clear that in the translation "the Word was God", the term God is being used to denote his nature or essence, and not his person. ... This verse is echoed in the Nicene Creed: "God (qualitative or derivative) from God (personal, the Father), Light from Light, True God from True God… homoousion with the Father."

John 1:1 "the word was divine/a god.

The word is Not ho theos -the God, his Father.

JLM:
I am glad you said the "couple". Op only holds his sister in-law as the guilty one. Whereas two people had sex there. He didn't say one accusative word at all against his brother. Please every statement he has made depicts only hatred for that lady. It's so obvious.

A new bedsheet is therefore not the solution to this at all.

bukatyne:
Very very funny thread

The couple was wrong to have sex in the room the OP is staying in and doubly wrong for not cleaning up after themselves.

I can not process having sex with my husband in a room not mine and not cleaning up.

I can't imagine sleeping on a bed people had sex in and not cleaned up.

We all know what is right by decorum and courtesy.

Let's not let our 'disagreement' with the OP's outlook towards life change that.

He also stated somewhere that he expects his brother's wife to wash the sheets because she is the stranger to him and would require same from his sister's husband. (Well!)

The OP is obviously one who believes in traditional spirituality and has OCD hence his disgust for women (fluids, periods, pregnancy, childbirth etc) and rigidity. Some do not share a bed with their wives when during her periods. Some don't eat her food then and other crazy stuff. Some do not even share bedrooms or bathrooms with their wives. Such men are also very 'traditional' to the point of misogyny.

If the OP sieves through the thread, he has been given enough counsel. He should also ensure he marries a lady who has same outlook towards life like him.

Janosky:

I should ask you:
Does Almighty God have wife in heaven?
Which chapter/verse did you read in your Bible that Jesus have a mother in heaven?


* Servant
Παῖδα (Paida)
Noun - accusative Masculine Singular
Strong's Greek 3816: Perhaps from paio; a boy, or, a girl, and a child; specially, a slave or servant."

Bros, what is mesmerizing about the meaning of Strong's Greek 3816 at Acts 3:13 ?


How does that info I gave you to research, now translate to "inability to think"?

Bros, please quote Matthew 12:15-18 on this thread.. use your church mind do the needful....

Oh, you later edited this. Who passed it to you na? i understand the reputation for inability to think as an individual. What is all this theatrics and drama. The person that dictated this to you should be aware of the several verses where Jesus is called and known as the Son of God, even the evil spirits know it. The same book of Acts clearly call Him the Son of God. So this futile attempt to mesmerize me instead of answer my question is for the gullible. Answer the question clearly and directly. [/b]Explain, don't give me jokes. At least, you pride yourselves as the only ones that know God and His Word.
Who's His mother in Heaven then? [b]How is He Son and servant together? Is your son or daughter your servant? Na question i ask oh, no come with insult or joke

Janosky:

Jesus is not Almighty God.. in your opinion, wrong.
Jesus is son of God, right.
God Almighty is son of God... Contradiction..

The contradiction occurred because you gave an interpretation of what I did not say

And I do not think I did a typo error.

Your argument is Jesus is not God.

To emphasize your point you said Jesus is not the Almighty God.

Such is used for our understanding since the original language needed to be interpreted into english.

The names of God:

YHWH.
El.
Eloah.
Elohim.
Elohai.
El Shaddai.
Tzevaot.
Jah.

It is from this Hebrew words that we get our translation into english.



God is God. The God Almighty. The LORD GOD Almighty. The LORD GOD. The Alpha and Omega.
The I AM. The Lord of hosts.



Acts 3:13.. the same Greek word means "son/servant". Yes a word can have 2 meaning but depending on the context of the sentence it finds itself. It cannot never be interchanged in the same sentence.

servant
Παῖδα (Paida)
Noun - accusative Masculine Singular
Strong's Greek 3816: Perhaps from paio; a boy, or, a girl, and a child; specially, a slave or servant

Matthew 12:15-18. Isaiah 42:1.. Jesus Christ is Jehovah's Servant.

bixton:





Please point to where the contradiction lies......

God Almighty....noted.
The opinion that gets entitled is that which corresponds to the word of God.

A son cannot be a servant of his father except he is illegitimate.

Matt.3.17 - And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

If the Father referred to Jesus as His son and not his servant who am I to say differently.

We should try to understand the context of words as used in the Scripture.

Thanks.
God's blessing.
