CrazyMan: Which one is frosbela again? Is frosbel now married? frosbel's wife or twin sista! @ frosbela: Your protests are borne in mind! It's just hilarious to see someone lay claim to our beloved frosbel on NL with a user ID! |
If your friend were wise, they would remember the first time they neglected your advice. The more reason to give it to them straight this time. If it helps, just add that you do not mean to interfere. You'll feel even worse if they do not take your non-direct advice and come to harm again this time. They might be the one turning around to ask why you didn't tell them what exactly you saw. |
In the Bible, the man Jacob, was mostly referred to as Jacob - even after he was renamed Israel by God, right up till his death. You will find that on most occassions where he was referred to as Israel there was some reference to his sons/family. Israel was mostly used to refer to Jacob's descendants collectively, while Jacob mostly reffered to the individual. 'The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob' ,therefore, follows as particular reference is being made to the God that these individuals served. 'God of Israel' is usually used to refer to the God of the descendants of Jacob collectively. |
Warn the person like you did the first time. Give it to them straight. |
nxanadu: if ur wife had serious problem wit u & u beat her up b4 going to ur biz. in d morning, she now went to meet her x-guy who always treat her right to sleep with her. after like 2 months, u guys came back at right. her conscience could not allow her. she could not pray well any more to God. she's always angry with herself for sleeping wit another man after marriage. she couldn't hold it no more that she woke u up one night to confess to u. what would u do?You cheated on her first by beating her up. You are to honour and love your wife like Christ loved the Church, you cheated her out of her portion of honour and love. Whether you can forgive her? Why not? She has forgiven you for cheating on her too(if she hasn't she won't be confessing her adultery to you). Remember part of the Lord's prayer ' forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us'. Next time, don't cheat her out of the honour and love she is due from you, and she will not feel so disrepected, dishonoured and vulnerable enough to foolishly seek solace in the arms of another man. A godly man keeps his own house, not tear it down with his own hands. |
Mecca in Saudi Arabia .. that's why millions of people go there every year to stone him! ![]() |
preshuzpearl: you know, it's not such a bad idea to tell God to choose what kind of car to buy. take for instance now, u r single or just got married and u plan to have just 2 kids. definitely, u wouldn't think of a car bus. but then, if u had asked God, he might tell you to not to get a small car cos he has seen the end and knows that you will finally have six kids or that families might turn up to stay, or that u may need to change the use of the vehicle from personal to business,etc .Absolutely! ![]() |
atbu1983: . I am referring to marriage proposals. How many women God spoke to first before the man in the bible in terms of marriage proposal? SELFWORTH: None. I agree. Men sought out their prospective wives . Men are destined to be hunters. This is biblical. Chasing after a man on the excuse of dream, revelation or prayer is ungodly .While I know of no explicit records of a woman being spoken to before the man in the Bible, I would like to point out the story of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth, being led by her godly mother-in-law, made the first move on Boaz, albeit subtly at first. She made sure he came in contact with her, and then she indicated she wanted to be 'covered' by him (of all the eligible kinsmen). Then Boaz got the message then went on to carry out the procedures required to marry her as prescribed in Jewish law (Ruth being the widow of a near kinsman and the possibility of other eligible kinsmen wanting to take the responsibility)! There is no record of Boaz hearing from God before Ruth in this case, and ruth had followed the leading of a godly mother-in-law. Ruth singled out 'the choice', made herself 'findable' and then 'made the first move'. Jesus came from this lineage. |
belabela: @ preshuzpearl,Well said ... but you can still ask God to choose for you. Nothing stops a child of God from saying 'Daddy, you know me inside and out and even more than I know myself. You know what I love in a partner, the kind of person I love to be with. I would love to honour you in my marriage and want my family to be a cause for praise to you. Please choose for me, Father! I believe asking God to choose is the best option where there you find there are two or more to choose from (this is usually the case if you are identifying potential partners from a number of brothers and sisters who are in the Lord) or where it is a case of re-marrying (and the first one ended in divorce). This way you are placing that freewill God gave you back in his hands ... and he will order your steps to the person he has chosen for you (because you asked him to choose for you). God will choose for you if you ask him to. Ask him for a sign to know that person and he will give you the sign too. It helps if you are someone who regularly asks God for direction in all matters. |
belabela: @ PosterWonderful! ![]() kitty kat: I remember ealry this year, a youngman said I was his wife. He said he had fasted and prayed and was ending that morning and told God that anyone that pinGs him forst that morninG is his wife. As fate would have it "rebekah -me" pinged "Iscaac" first. Bros no gree hear anything else o. I told him that his revelation was flawed for reasons I won't disclose here. It obviously meant that his GOd wasn't Omniscience. God speaks but most of us are sufferinG from emotionalism and manipulative tendencies. Lots of weak-minded sisters have been 419ed by 'God-said' brothers! ![]() |
Logicboy03, How is it fair to take out your frustrations on those who do not share your dis-belief? If you are very confident in your atheism, you should have peace in it and as such should have no frustrations in the matter of faith to take out on believers. |
I would say, the guy in question just caused unnecessary confusion for you. All he head to do was ask you out, tell you he has honourable intentions and ask you to pray about it. Lots of undiscerning women get this kind of lie told to them and taken advantage of. He may be telling the truth but he hasn't applied wisdom. He may just be looking for s-e/x, he may just be looking to mess with your mind. My advise: Pray about it. Ask God to show you if this person is using his name in vain. Find out more about him before you commit to anything. Is he truly a 'child of God' as he claims? If possible, test him (don't put yourself in any danger while doing this). The Bible tells us to test all spirits. |
It's still a Bra, a 'wear only once in a blue moon' Bra! ![]() |
Logicboy03: I am not Yoruba. However, it is surprising that most Yorubas would abuse you for claiming that slavery was with them before the Whites came. Could you expand on how people from Ijebu were selling people to people in Ijesha? Slaves were never a comodity before the europeans came. The worst you could point to in Yoruba land was the Benin obas who buried their servants with them when they died. Which my tribe and some other Obas did not do.Remember one thing: Don't blame the Bible for a lifestyle that pre-dated its compilation. Find somebody else to blame for your confusion! ![]() You are now tired and have no more sound arguments to put forward in defence of your original flawed argument! Have a Pepsi on me ... and a meatpie from Mr Biggs! End of discussion! |
Logicboy03: Let me enumerate your epic fails, dude!Slavery existed before Mosaic Law. It was acceptable in that era. War and capturing slaves was the norm. Slavery definitely existed in Yorubaland before the white men came. Go back and read History. Hiding under the guise of 'no slavery in teh south-south where I came from' does not negate the fact that slavery was in existence before the white men came to Africa for slaves. Why you refuse to acknowledge that no Christian will back up slavery today with the Bible beats me. Slavery is illegal in this day and age. You deliberately refuse to acknowledge that wicked greedy people interpreted scriptures to suit them to enslave others and YOUR PEOPLE WHO DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE BIBLE MADE IT POSSIBLE BY KIDNAPPING THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS AND SELLING THEM OFF AS SLAVES. The Bible does not support slavery. The Bible regulated slavery as it was already in existence! |
davidylan: Actually i believe you deliberately ignored a salient part of his post to focus on the trivial issue he did not even pursue.That is exactly what he has done with every answer that has been given in countering his flawed argument. He started with asking why Naija xtians don't copy British ones and has now come to 'evolution being science'. ![]() @Logicboy03 On the matter of the slavery that you failed to further your weak arguments in response to my counter-arguments, I have the following to add (and emphasise where already previously posted). Yes, slavery is regulated in the Old Testament but it is unfortunate that people in the past pulled the wool over your eyes to support slavery and commit barbaric acts. Were those slaves treated as prescribed in the Bible? No, they were not. Did you read the Old Testament rules that apply to freeing slaves? No, you obviously haven't. Do you know the Old Testament differentiates between 'slavery' and 'kidnap'? No, you obviously don't. The Old Testament does not prescribe the maltreatment of slaves. Greedy Africans who did not have the gospel or the love of God in their hearts kidnapped their fellow countrymen and sold them as slaves. Greedy Slave buyers who had the gospel but did not have the love of God in their hearts treated the 'kidnapped people' inhumanely! Slavery was already being practised before Mosaic Law. Israel was reminded not to maltreat strangers and remember how they were strangers in the land of Egypt. We should recall that they themselves were enslaved in Egypt where they were strangers, and if they were to be buying strangers as slaves, they were not allowed to treat them unfairly. Today slavery is illegal in most countries and christians will be going against the word of God should they enslave others given that they are required to submit to authority. No man who loves Christ will enslave another. The era of one community attcaking another and taking slaves has gone! It is however unfortunate that human trafficking (modern slavery), although illegal, still exists but it is not surprising as given the nature of man, give him a yard and he'll take a mile. A wicked man will always commit wickedness no matter the laws telling him not to do so. Logicboy03: How does a christian teach biology- evolution that says that man evolved from a common ancestor with monkeys?Evolution is A THEORY! The biological nature of man IS NOT! If you did not know this by now, you need to make a claim for you primary and secondary school fees! ![]() Back to the matter of Naija Xtians and Brits Xtians, You confessed your motive for this thread here: Logicboy03: FailI have some assurance for you on the matter. You do not need to worry about Christians being a threat to you: The majority of Christians are not Christian. They wolf in sheep's clothing! They actually belong to your side of the divide. You believe there is no God and behave likewise; They have no fear of God and behave likewise! Six and half a dozen, I say! Remember, Practice what you preach by keeping your Atheism private; don't even breath a word about it to anyone else. Lead by example! ![]() |
Ezeufi: If one version has 73 books and another version has 66 books, surely the message has not only changed but also purposefully distorted.Has either the '73 book version' or the '66 book version' declared that the death and resurrection of Jesus and the salvation available by repentance and believing to be invalid? |

Umartins1: The question is:No, the above is not the question! The premise of this thread is that 'Heaven exists'! The question is whether death-bed repentance will take them that heaven! Whether heaven and exists is on/for another thread, not this one! ![]() |
Logicboy03: WrongFollowing your atheist reasoning, you can be an atheist and keep your 'atheism' private and separate from aspects of life! Following my christian reasoning, you cannot ask someone to give you their head without any part of the neck. A christian is a spirit-filled person of faith who believes in God. To ask them live the way you subscribe is to ask them to live without breathing oxygen! Religion cannot be kept personal ... it is infectious! What you believe affects how you relate to your enviroment and the society. You are spreading atheism by not keeping it private ... why are you asking christians not to spread Xtianity! PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, BROTHER! I am tempted to open a counter thread in your honour titled 'THE IRRATIONALITY OF LOGICBOY03 BEING MORE ATHEIST THAN A TV REMOTE CONTROL' ... but I shall lie down and let the feeling pass! ![]() |
jagun007: Logicboy,You talk true jare! The only reason for de-christianisation all over the world is to freely pursue ungodliness without the constant reminder of their departure from God and sound reasoning! Many so called unbelievers do not realise this is the sole reason for the propaganda. They are all being recruited into the anti-christ army and taking up 'arms' for the cause! The Atheist Jihad, I call it! ![]() Logicboy03: Dont worry, bro.What are you going to evolve into in the years to come? Homo Atheist (from Homo Sapien) specie with wings for flight, extendable arms and legs and an anus under ur foot? ![]() As for you guessing on eternal sleep, that's all you can do. Just Guess! I prefer faith to 'guess' aka uncertainty! @Logicboy03 : Coming back to you on the slavery matter ... my bed calls! |
Gladly subscribing ... ![]() |
If their death-bed repentance is genuine, it could work ... but consider the parable in Luke 12:16 -20 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2012:%2016%20-%2020&version=NASB [size=14pt]Luke 12:16-20[/size] New American Standard Bible (NASB) 16 And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17 And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night [a]your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’ Looking at this parable, it is likely that they will not get a 'literal death-bed'. Their life may be taken in a second not leaving room for the repentance they had deliberately avoided all their life. Not everyone get's the chance to know they are going to be dead in the next minute. Nevertheless, God is ever merciful. |
@OP, That was a lovely testimony up there! Very funny though. I can imgaine how you felt! ![]() |

The message has not changed, regardless of the various translations. Many modern people will not find the KJV language attractive at all or even comprehend most of it. The availability of other versions in plainer English Language has helped people understand the message more. It has allowed for comparison where texts are not clear to the reader. also encouraged research into the word and the customs of the era in which the Testaments were written. It is a great advantage to the Gospel to have the Bible in so many translations. The next translation may be a 'text speak' one, for those who can't write or read english properly. ![]() |
@ Logicboy03: I countered your misgivings about slavery in the Bible some 7 posts back. Please, check. Off to bed now. Sleep tight. Nice thread! ![]() |
SHOPPERS: @OP. One mistake you're making here is "generalisation". The fact that "most" British people are not attending churches does not mean that "All of Britain Don't"! It's not as if all Africans attend Churches too, or you no be African? Abi you dey attend church?@ Logicboy03: Is that a 'facepalm' of you giving up in defeat? SHOPPERS got your right there! ! Especially with your confession as below:Logicboy03: |
![]() Logicboy03: Sharia courts, you say? What power and jurisdiction do they have? Hmm? Can they overrule British courts and their secular laws? They are mostly arbirary and can only be used when both parties agree.Where are the 85 Christian Courts of limited jurisdiction to match in an 'equality preaching society' since you argued that religious morality was problematic? Yes, slavery is regulated in the Old Testament but it is unfortunate that people in the past pulled the wool over your eyes to support slavery and commit barbaric acts. Were those slaves treated as prescribed in the Bible? No, they were not. Did you read the Old Testament rules that apply to freeing slaves? No, you obviously haven't. Do you know the Old Testament differentiates between 'slavery' and 'kidnap'? No, you obviously don't. The Old Testament does not prescribe the maltreatment of slaves. Greedy Africans who did not have the gospel or the love of God in their hearts kidnapped their fellow countrymen and sold them as slaves. Greedy Slave buyers who had the gospel but did not have the love of God in their hearts treated the 'kidnapped people' inhumanely! Christ commands all me to come to him as they are (includes ga.y.s, thieves, robbers, rapists, murders). When they come to him, they will know to love and obey him. Those who love God and obey his commandments do not practice sod.o/my, theft, fornication, adultery, lying, murder etc. You well know Christ commands to love God and all neighbours. Watching my neighbour go down a path of ruin is not any part of loving him. Loving him is pointing out his error and helping him change. Christ gives us freewill and that is why you are free to choose not to follow him. Decency is issuing contraceptives to 11 and 12 year olds? Innit? Decency is upholding the human rights of the offender and at the expense of justice to the victim, and his own human rights? This world has gone to the dogs. Following God's commandments in spirit and in truth is the only hope we have! Logicboy03: FailJust found this confession of yours! Your problem is Christianity! Or is it Christ? You prefer man who believes he is not accountable to God (secularism) to be your Lord, rather than Christ. You shouldn't have brought Britain into it in the first place. You should have approached it like this: Nigerian Christians, why don't you forsake Christ to become atheists? |
Logicboy03: Oh you have finally decided to answer the question and stopped accusing me of being a "follow-follow" of Britain?Are you aware that the UK has at least 85 Sharia Courts(with limited jusridiction at this point in time)? Your argument that they realised that laws based on 'religious morality are problematic' holds no water. The de-christianising of this country has nothing to do with regrets on slavery, in fact, christian missionaries fought against slavery. The majority just do not want to be accountable to an almighty God who gives guidance on how to best live life. While this rebellion is open in the UK, it is not so in Nigeria. How many Nigerian leaderrs can boldly stand up to say there is no God or they do not belive in God. All that said, many Britons are returning to Christ, and those who never knew him before are discovering him. Christ is not holding Nigeria back from taking it's place among the world's most advanced countries; Give Nigeria transparency, accountability to the electorate and a working justice system, and it's citizens hearts that love their neighbours (as prescribed by God), and you will have a very healthy, balanced advanced country on your hands. |
