This simulation is really doing my head in

igbo lolo

In Ephesians 6:1 The Bible says"Children,obey your parents in the Lord;for this is right." The pertinent question i wish to ask is, who are the parents in the Lord Paul was talking about?what gave them the status of parenthood? well without beating about the bush,parents in the Lord are simply people God has placed over others in the church or campus fellowship to see to their spiritual and material welfare.If you are thinking the way i am thinking now, you will agree with me that parents in the Lord are Pastors,Bishops,ELders,Deacon and Deaconesses and of course campus fellowship presidents and leaders are parents as it were, as far as the campus community is concerned. Hence, i don't see any big deal if the subjects call them Daddy or mummy or papa or mama.All these nomenclatures shouldn't border us as they are mere mark of respect.
In addition, it doesn't lie in our mouth to judge who is fake or real among the parents in the Lord as that will amount to work no pay.God has the sole prerogative to judge and give punishment.Lets not incur divine wrath by saying things bigger than our mouth and what we don't have revelation about, we should keep our moth shut.Thanks.

Well said sir, also can i add "Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel." 1 Cor.4:15,

MrBible:
Yes

Because he dared to refer to his converts in Galatia as "children"? Or because he questioned Peter's reluctance to accept that the new testament church was not an exclusive group for the Jews alone but that the gentiles aho paul believed he was commissioned to reach should benefit from this grace as well?

MrBible:
You continue to quote Paul, it is very easy for born again rascals to deceive others with quotes from Paul. If we only quote Jesus we can never go wrong.
[b]Peter and Jesus' brother James openly disagreed with Paul and admonished him strongly, as written in Acts.[/b]Peter was left in charge and knew Jesus and James grew up with him. Saul of Tarsus (Paul) never knew him.
Matthew 23:9-12
9. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10. Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ.
11. The greatest among you will be your servant.
12. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

So in essence you are questioning the credibility of paul on the basis that peter and james disagreed with him?

Coolabbie:
^ thanks 4 dat. The thing is everyone around me refers 2 dem as daddy & mummy. Since im yet to catch up wit the trend, I am made to feel out of place as if by calling dem pastors I am uttering a disrespectful word. So I wuld lyk to kno if dere is a bible verse supporting dis so I know im not sinning.

I refer you to Galatians 4:19 "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you" where paul referred to his disciples as his children, and as such they can refer to him as their spiritual father. The bottom line is everyone is entitled to do whatever he/she feels comfy with as long as it does not contradict the word of God. if people choose to call their pastor "daddy" or "mummy" so be it, I don't see what the big deal is about that

Coolabbie:
Alright I need to get this off my chest. Im a christian and a proud one at dat. There are sum things about the church dat I find puzzling but the one that really gets to me is this manner of calling pastors 'Daddy'. Im a member of the Redeemed Church but I have neva understood why our General Overseer should be called 'Daddy' & his wife 'Mummy' or 'Mother-in-Israel ( I particularly find dis funny). I always dismiss dis as a trend common & peculiar to our churches only. Of recent I got admission into the university & started attending campus fellowships. I was surprised to learn that the leaders, who are all fellow students, are called Papa and Mama by oda students. I wuld luv to know if dis is a biblical doctrine, fad or just a Nigerian thingy. Do u call your pastors daddy? If so why?

U no get work!! berra to expend your energy on how to get good grades in university than on this type of non-issues

yes

Just checking, do you put up topics to get people to comment or you put them up to get advice.

aren't you the same chic that put up a topic asking if you could ask your father for brideprice?saying your fiance lost his job so no money, you going for masters and bla bla bla,
so where have you been saving up for your summer wedding?

kai, you are a character!!![/quote]Yawa don happen!

tired

Truth is the poster is one very confused lass, the guy made it clear he is relocating to naija, but reassured her that he still loves her and wants the relationship to continue. She then demands that as a sign of his committment he shoud impregnate her, I'll be surprised if the guy ends up marrying her afterall he is naija probably humping girls left right and centre leaving Miss London to fend for herself supported by the benevolent social services.

hahaha. . . . . . . 10yr old kid gets pregnant this days

basically what i am saying is if she is over 25 then its allowed

What is allowed? so the parents should sit back fold their hands and watch their daughter as she decides to be sisi London, mba nu

dayokanu:
Why not do some court/registry stuff, Something that ties you legally to your bf, Else you might be on the path to being a Baby momma.

I dont know about you but its somehow shameful for a Nigerian to have a kid outside of wedlock and thats what you are about doing.

It doesnt look well on your upbringing

ooops dont let naija girls living abroad see that comment

IfeLuvely:
We have already started saving for a summer wedding nxt year, and because of the way we are, we wanted to pay for the wedding ourselves, with no help at all from any of our parents, we only just reached half our target for the budget,

Me personally, I will like to wait till next begfore we get married, so we can still reach our target, but i know both parents will now say that they will contribute if we decide to get married before the baby comes, I hope this makes more sense now,

at T-J of course I am Nigerian, but like jay bee sed its frowned on to get pregnant before getting married because of what "people will say" not cos of anything else

I think for what its worth you guys should try and reach a compromise, the good thing is that marriage is in the offing, so all the parents are asking is that you bring it forward, let them know what your reasons are for wanting to do it next year and if they still insist they would rather have it sooner then they are free to bear the financial burden and you guys can keep your savings for the real issue of bringing up a child in the uk.  I wont l

poster,
the sulky man is just stressed out that he is carrying the financial burden of the family all by himself. Once you get out of the house he won't have much to bleat about, infact you sef wont have time for his whinging not after an 8hr shift and another torturous journey courtesy of Transport For London. In the mean time speak to him and let him know how you feel and if that dont work tell him you'd be closing the "shop" till his attitude changes, that should make him sit up

jay bee:
^^^
She doesn't live in Nigeria so less obligation to follow the crowd.
Do you even know why most parents frown at the idea? They probably do cos of what people will say not because it's a tradition or what not

But she is a nigerian. Look I'm trying to see the arguement from both sides, while trying to be sympathetic to her plight; just because she is living abroad does not mean she should abandon the tradition her family subscribes to in its entirety especially when it comes to issues like marriage where families tend to see it as a very big deal. I know a couple who actually live in UK are were in the same boat as the poster at the end of the day the parents flew over from naija and insisted they got married before the pikin arrives. I guess for what it's worth the poster should consider the parent's "way" afterall shebi na to get married ni

jay bee:
How about our way?
Is he OK with the idea of having the wedding after you give birth?
At the end of the day it's you guys wedding not your folks so do whatever u guys r comfortable with.

Not so, at least in the nigerian context where the wedding is an occassion where the family(father) give the daughter away in marriage, the reality of this case is that the family are looking at damage limitation, they don't quite like the idea of their daughter having a child outside wedlock and would rather do a hush hush marriage before the baby comes than after. The poster should have considered all angles before deliberately getting pregnant on the premise that it would keep the couple together. What if the guy decides against marriage? Anyway my advice is discuss with your parents and rather than hold on to your "way" see how you can reach a compromise on this

^^^I pray i make her a mum, imagine how cute our twins would look like

doing what your way? Do you mean having seeex your way(style) or your parents's way?

kapitan:
Tee Jay, yes Siasia did his own bit and it cost him an automatic shirt (the birth of an Amokachi) in the super eagles, So if he is doin his best to prevent Osaze from going down same lane, carry go, flog all of them, till they come out straight for the Nation.

^^^ I agree, my beef is that the boy has apologised, now we need to move on no point punishing him by refusing to pick him.

yomola:
Dude! Osaze did not apologize to Siasia. He just tried to explain why he did what he did. What would it have cost him to do a written apology that the papers will carry for free?

Written apology for what Whilst it is an honour to play for your country; asking a player to make a written public apology to his manager who is not entirely blameless in the whole episode is a bit demeaning in my own book. Is this not the same siasia who refused to play for nigeria in the 1990 cup of nations because the FA didnt give him and the bonus he asked for?

[quote author=prof.femi link=topic=671144.msg8358264#msg8358264 date=1305887820]@Tee_Jay
You're not making much sense. The point is not about Siasia's playing days. The point is: a talented player messed up big time and to make it worse, he didn't even man up and apologize to the coach. Yet people like you want the coach to just overlook that. Hmmm.

And you complain about indiscipline in Nigeria, abi??
Sorry, you're in a minority here (which gives me hope for Nigeria) and you're most assuredly wrong.[/quote]If you read my post well, i never alluded that osaze isnt in the wrong here, all i'm saying is that the guy has apologised and siasia should move on from the issue. I referred to siasia's indiscipline during his playing days and the fact that the manager still managed to accomodate him and not hang him out to dry.

Have you ever had the opportunity of being a leader of a group of Adults no matter how little?

and your point is?

jp philips:
The question is " where are you from?"

Because it is only in the Animal Kingdom that you slap your father and still sit with the family for breakfast

I repeat "where are you from?"

Did siasia ever apologise to westerhoff? Besides osaze has already made public his remorse regarding the whole affair, what else does siasia want? For him to prostrate in the middle of Abuja stadium?

jp philips:

How do you mean? That siasia was a very difficult player to manage in his days? Still the likes of westerhoff didnt malign him by dropping him for games
