tesppidd:I do. Thank you |
tesppidd:This government is not thinking of 30 years. They just don't want him extradited during their tenure. |
emmyN:I also believe its false. They are making something up so that the FG doesn't have to extradite him. He will be "prosecuted" here in Nigeria and the case will go on forever. |
Nedangel:She is a child. What you are thinking is only for pedophiles, so stop. Send her away. NOW I hope your newborn is not female. |
techWriter3:I also care that the media is somehow trying to put some responsibility on the poor girl by making it seem that she returned. Its also an indirect message to others who may want to escape that its so tough out there you will want to return. |
Jennyclay:1. He has to tell you why. Anything less than sexual molestation or attempt to murder for rituals is not enough to keep malice for 3 years. 2. The malice will reach your side as well. He has perfected the art. Get ready 3. The malice will reach your kids too 4. Thank you |
techWriter3:The you-tube video says the girl was traced to Turkey and brought back to Iran against her will I don't know why the news is reporting that she retuned of her own volition

Steep:Its not said who they are to teach. Lets not add 1Tim 2 talks about marriage. You are free to pretend it does not, but know this you have no authority over any woman that is not your wife. If you have no authority over any woman that is not your wife, then she cannot usurp authority from a man who never had authority over her in the first place. |
Steep:Titus 2:3-5 The older women will 1; Teach what is good and after teaching what is good 2: Urge younger women to love husbands and children. |
Steep:So take out the qualified part. meaning if there is no man to teach a congregation, there should be no church service that day? Take a look at the scripture you gave. A lot lot of words there show that this is a scripture between a man and his wife. But a suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man. the word "the" is a particular man (her husband) You do not have authority over another man's wife so there is not way Paul will advise another man's wife not to usurp your authority. You do not have authority over the daughter of another man until you marry her, there is not way Paul will advise another man's daughter not to usurp your authority .You both are not even related So that the reader is not confused Paul gives example with a married couple in the next verse. Paul goes on to talk about child-bearing which is a result of a marriage. So clearly Paul is not talking about church here but about the marriage. And yes I agree that women should listen to their husbands and not usurp authority over the man. And here Paul was inspired of God but he clearly stated that he was the one who was not permitting women to speak, he said it. Probably James or Peter may have been allowing women to speak and Paul say "Not I". That scripture is still inspired of God but that is Paul saying "I want it this way..." Go to 1 Cor 7:10, you'll see Paul say "Not I, but the Lord says this ......" "Not the Lord, but I say this...." All scripture is inspired of God, however Paul is letting us know before hand that this is his decision
|
Steep:you are wrong, there was no where Paul instruct any Christian church to follow the cultural/political law in Christian assembly. Taxes are paid externally to world government not a rule in the church. This is the scripture I found for this Matthew 22:21 Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Jesus wants his disciples to pay political taxes Please give scripture for this: But a woman is not to take leadership role except probably there is not a qualified man. |
Steep:Please let me have scriptures for all your assertions. We are here to learn. |
Richy4:We can debate without trying to be dismissive. I am quoting scripture so I am surprised (or maybe I should not be surprised) that you who is NOT quoting scripture is calling the word of God mischievous and without basis You have not quoted ONE SINGLE verse of scripture. Which scripture d you want me to read, pause and think about? Christians and Jews are totally different. While Jehovah is the same God, the covenant with the Jews is the old covenant (testament) and the covenant with gentiles is the New testament (covenant). God ended covenant with Israel Jeremiah 3:6-8 and said if she returns he would take her back if she repents Jeremiah 3: 11 -13. The church is under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus Jews are under the law of the Torah. Neither Abraham or David was a Christian. They were JEWS and they were NOT leaders IN CHURCH. The law of Christ is only for believers. Two different religions, one God. What part of 1st Timothy 3:2 do you find confusing English Standard Version Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach You need to quote scripture when you debate scripture. The moment you say you have a problem with what Paul mandated then you negate this scripture: 1st Timothy 3: 16-17 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works |
Richy4:We are all here to learn 1. In Nigeria there is separation of church and state. There is NO law in the constitution in Nigeria that dictates the type of person who should head a church/ church departments. Since there is no law of the land /constitution concerning the headship of a church/church departments in Nigeria, we are bound to the law of Christ/the church. In some countries you cannot build a church - as long as the state forbids it, as Christians no need to make a fracas, do your evangelism and stick to your house fellowships. If there is No law in a land concerning an issue, use the law of Christ If there is a law in the land negating the law of Christ, use the law of Christ eg some communities have laws about wife swapping. It negates the law of Christ. If there is a law in the land that neither negates/ nor agrees with the law of Christ use the law of the land. If the tax states to pay tax (it neither negates/agrees with Christ) pay the tax. If you are in a place where tax is not paid, why would you pay tax? 2. Can you prove that Abraham and David were Christians? I can prove that they were not. Acts 11:26 And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Can you prove that Abraham and David were leaders IN CHURCH? I can prove that they were not. Acts 2:47, Acts 11:26 And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. 3. Explain 1st Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 4. Cambridge dictionary does not show a difference between "preach" and "go and tell" (see photo). Mary was asked to go get people to accept that Jesus had resurrected and was alive. Is that not the great commission? Acts 18:25-27 When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately. Do you see Paul receiving correct ion in doctrine from a woman? Acts 18:25-27 I would like you to use bible verses for your points since we are discussing from the bible. I will also do the same.

Richy4:! Corinth 14:34 .... as the law says. Which law? The law of the Land. Paul said the women should be quiet and follow the law of Corinth. In Matt 28:5-8 and Luke 20:17 because there was no "law of Corinth" Jesus in Luke and an angel in Matt instruct Mary Magdalene (a woman) to go and teach and preach to the brethren. Jesus/ The angels did not ask Mary Magdalene to look for a male figure to tell, who can then relay the resurrection message to his brethren. He asked her to go herself. From this we see that Mary was the first human who got the message of the great commission. Was Abraham a leader in church? Was David a leader in church? These men were JEWS and not Christians. What part of 1 Tim 3:2 do you find confusing? A man can take a second wife but he cannot be a leader/ overseer of anything in church. If you have a different interpretation of 1st Timothy 3 explain it, so we can learn. Please as believers we must accept the word as it is or walk away from Christianity. There is nothing to twist in the bible. God is not an author of confusion |
Idaytesj29:Nobody can change the bible. We are 2000 years too late. These churches are in gross disobedience to God. As per faith in God - Imagine that one has so much faith in God and originally God called him to a teaching ministry, but because of second wife, you can never exercise the ministry God called you to as a child 1 Timothy 3:2 No elder should have more than one wife 1 Timothy 5:9 For a woman to be put in a church register for assistance, she must have been married only once, not twice. The bible does not state that an unmarried man or woman with kids from several people must be treated like this. This is because marriage is a sacred covenant to God [b]So those churches having elders with multiple husbands/ wives are committing grievous sin. A church or department in church is never to be headed by a person with multiple spouses.[/b] You and I have no opinion here. We either follow the New testament as believers or we depart from the Christian faith. The yoke of Christianity is very hard. Christianity is not an easy religion. A lot of people (perhaps including me) are on the wide path that leads to hell, and on that day many people will be confused saying "Lord, Lord..." and Jesus will say " Depart from me ...." Because we were living the Christian life according to our opinions and not what the bible says |
Idaytesj29:This is why christians deny this fact. The bible says a man with more than one wife should not be a leader. 1 Timothy 3:2. Even a leader of a house fellowship should have one wife. Why would a man want to know the Lord for 40 years and decide that because of "lust of the flesh"/ second wife you decide not to be a leader? At least departmental leader. That is living below the plans God has for you. No true believer should limit his walk with God by marrying a second wife. But if one has already married a second wife and became a believer then he can maintain the wives equally but he is barred from leadership roles. |
Lasunray01:Desist from community flirting. A man without self-control has reduced respect and makes you the worst spouse in the universe. It is not a simple issue like you claim. Be guided. You are about to relocate to a country where she can make or mar you. |
Righteousness2:This advice is only for practising believers. The OP has not declared that he is one. Since OP has not declared to be a practicing believer not just a churchgoers the solution is that he stops chasing women. Also he needs to know that eith the woman's current attitude she will walk out once they land in the new country. Maybe that will be God's way of pointing OP back to first wife. Please note that wife No 2 is also recognised by God as there is no where in the Bible where God expressed displeasure at the acquisition of a second wife as long as the man does not have an ambition for any kind of leadership position in church 1Timothy 3:2. |
Karmatyra:May God make your path easy. You sound very level-headed. |
“In the last few days, armed bandits/terrorists across four northern states of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Niger States have killed scores of helpless and defenceless citizens in addition to multiple kidnappings and other forms of exploitations. Regrettably, these killings, abductions, maiming and exploitations have been going on incessantly with no respite in sight." I thought IPOB was the problem. |
Curious346:No sir, I am not cheating IN my husband. I am not a female member of your family so I am not predisposed to cheating IN or OUT or ON or OF my spouse. |
Simeon88:I must agree with you. In my large extended family, a lot of the girls are married to Eastern European men and for some strange reason their marriages are much more peaceful than the ones where they married our tribe. I always advise anyone who can stomach interracial marriage to try Eastern Europe. |
Curious346:If I was being defensive I would ask her NOT to publicize the matter. Come to think of it you did not accuse all the people who asked her NOT to publicize the photos of being defensive. These people should be yiur first suspects. You decided to accuse the one person that said she would neither advise her to tag or not to tag. Asking someone to take care of her safety first is not being defensive. It's being wise. I am an elder and what an elder sees sitting down, a young person will not see standing up. |
Mineralzz:I cant tell you what to do but in case you decide to upload the video and tag her friends, go into hiding, make sure this woman has never met you before. Make sure she will not have access to your fiancé to get information about you or your siblings or parents. I recently heard of a similar case where a young wife exposed a cheating woman (who was sleeping with her husband) and the cheating woman decided that since her home was lost, she would take the life of the young wife. To cut the story short, the young wife escaped death, but her mother did not, and her younger brother lost an eye. The madam cheater relocated with her kids, but I have no idea where to. So please make arrangements for your safety and the safety of your immediate family first. |
I want to believe that you choose your friends carefully and that your friend is as decent as your are. In that case, there should be no concern that your sister is in a relationship with someone who possesses the same decent character as her brother. |
If I could generalize, the most noticeable signs of Ultra Smart People hiding their intelligence include the following – 1) They pretend to be a novice on a subject matter. You can be talking to them like a novice, explaining concepts and buttressing your points and facts until they give you a different insight about what you are talking about. From the insight, you would have known that they are probably more well versed in the subject than you are. 2) Good Problem Solvers This is not just physics or mathematics problems, I am talking about everyday real life challenges. They will seek out feasible means to solve any difficulty without whining about it since complaining without doing never solved a problem. In seeking out the best logical means to solve a challenge, they take the best course of action. If it doesn’t work, they try it differently from another perspective or angle or take it to someone who can until the problem is solved. 3) Discuss about ideas mostly or all of the time. Small minds discuss about people, average minds are more vested in events, but the ultra smart are never likely to engage in any of that except to inquire the welfare of loved ones. Every passing second is seen as fleeting and must not be arrogated to unprofitable intellectual or other human ventures. 4) Always in search of reasons as opposed to flimsy conclusions. This stems mostly from the fact that nothing just happens, there is always a reason behind things. 5) Can Easily Prioritize Knowing what’s important is usually a difficult task for a lot of people, but not for the ultra smart. Knowing the most important things is a Kickstarter embedded in their psyche. They dedicate a lot of time to research and introspection to figure what’s important so that they can be able to allocate their best resources to them – time. They don’t lurk around impossible things or fixate on imaginary fantasies based on their own shortcomings. They can easily figure out the feasibility of things. When they can’t figure it out themselves, they go seek for people that can or that will point them in the right direction. This is because, they also recognize their own shortcomings and don’t allow ego cloud their judgment. 6) They rarely disclose what they are good at to others. Invariably, they don’t showboat or boast of their abilities. Therefore, to get a cue as to their mental awareness and intellect, you will have to be assimilated into their tight familial circle’s. Most of the time though, it’s usually hard except you have showed signs of similar inclinations yourself which is agreeable to their personality. Refer to point 5 above. 7) Very optimistic set of people. This means that they are always keeping an eye on the future in all their plans. Short term plans are always amenable to the long term future plan since they’re always positive and never pessimistic in their views. Are you ultra smart? |
lorenzos1:Truth |
The number of broken marriages did not increase. There have always been broken marriages. Couples staying together just because of society, living as roommates - separate bedrooms, minimal communication. Some as enemies under the same roof. The only difference is that divorce is no longer a stigma and that is why its looking like more marriages are being broken. How many women of our mothers go to visit their children and never return to their marital homes - that was their way of saying good bye to the marriage. How many of our fathers moved to the village and left the mothers in the homes in the city - that was their way of saying good bye to the marriage. |
sageb:No, I am not. |
Philip94:Hi, I see so many people saying you should have seen the signs before getting into the marriage. Now while that is true, you have already tied and consummated the knot - you have to make it work. My spouse WAS a master malice keeper and I solved it. Most people keep malice to enjoy your reaction - asking them to talk and begging for attention When she is sane let her know that her marriage is still young and she is already trying to bury it with malice. Let her know that going forward you will not be part of that game and you will go out with friends and enjoy yourself to give her time, as long as it takes Next time she gives you the silent treatment, don't shout, don't warn, don't beg, don't react while she is in that state. ENJOY yourself. Be happy. Call your friends on the phone and laugh. Go out. Read books. No need for feeding money until she is ready to discuss. Don't look miserable. On the extreme, the last period, years ago that my spouse gave me the silent treatment, he had been keeping malice for a week: I was reading books, going to the gym, sleeping, enjoying myself. On the weekend, he barged angrily into our room, pacing up and down so I would notice him. I yawned and continued to press my phone and smile at the photos. Then he decided to talk and that was the end of malice. Don't respond to malice. Stay away from the game and enjoy yourself until she is ready to talk |
