Romance / Re: Sexual Purity. by TheElated177: 6:33pm On Jan 10, 2022
Rosement, I am glad you acknowledged the sinful nature of fornication and that it is neither an unforgivable sin nor an unpardonable one. On this issue, you, Rosement, are on one side. There are people on the other side who do not see anything wrong with premarital sex. This group of people don't see premarital sex as something sinful and, therefore, see no need for repentance.

No one is saying that those who have committed fornication should go and commit suicide! Nope! People who have committed fornication and believe that it is sinful have opportunity to repent. They can repent and abstain from it. This is the sexual purity that we are talking about. Even the woman caught in adultery was told by the Messiah to go and sin no more.

Yahushua the Messiah came to save sinners. Mary Magdalene never continued with prostitution after her encounter with Yahushua the Messiah.

Here are what this message is saying?

1. Virginity is very important.
2. It is very important for the females to preserve their virginity.
3. Those who are virgins should do all that is their power to maintain their virginity. The Father in heaven will always help.
4. Those who have lost their virginity should know that premarital sex is sinful and should repent and abstain from it. This is also sexual purity.

Attempt at emotional blackmail will not be successful.

MrBrownJay1:


i know you religious people are daft, and trying up and down to shove your garbage mindset down people's throat.... so let me say it again:
A) only religious people care about your religion and its rules.... people with a brain dont give a damn about your outdated holybook and its teaching.
B) if you believe that virginity is important, then DONT HAVE SEX... and basta, and let others (who dont give a damn about your bible) fukc as much as they want. why would you even want to change them?! they've already fukced!
C) educate yourself on KIng Solomon, KIng David, Abraham etc, who ALL had sex with single women they werent married to, and were never seen as sinner by your god.....the only one that was ever punished by your god, was because he had sex with a MARRIED woman! so your outdated holybook is very clear on that, you can have sex with as many single women as you desire, just dont fukc another man's wife!

thank me later for educating you!

Calm your nerves, MrBrownJay1, you are allowing the truth to irritate you too much.

MrBrownJay1, if you were deft, you would have seen and understood the assertion below:

"We, the saints, servants and messengers of Yahushua the Messiah, will do what our Father in heaven, Daddy in the sky, says. The others can go ahead and do what their own master and father says".

I have said that twice before. Anyone with even the least brain could have seen and understood that clearly, MrBrownJay1. There wouldn't have been any need for the rant and outrage.

On your "C" above, you need to go educate yourself very on lifestyles of those men that you mentioned.

Rosement:
It is not a sin or an abomination to marry a non-virgin, God even instructed Haggai to marry a prostitute, though it was for a purpose but if it was a sin or an abomination God would have never permitted it, talkless of ordering him to do it. Most people keep their virginity to honour God not to honour man. A lady can be a virgin and still have bad characters.

Why is it even about ladies? Are all guys virgins? Just marry someone you love and you can trust.

I didn't say that it was a sin or an abomination to marry a woman who is not a virgin.

I am glad you said he told Hosea to do that for a purpose --- for a purpose, Rosement. No one expects a prostitute to be a virgin. Nor does anyone expect virtuousness from a prostitute. Didn't he instruct the Israelites to stone women whose virginity could not be ascertained on the night of the first sexual relationship after marriage?

Very interesting. Any woman who keeps her virginity just to honour her Maker is a treasure. Do you think it is a minor thing? She will honour her husband. In fact, you have to fear, honor and respect your Maker in order to obey him. It means such woman knows what it means to follow her Maker. Such woman falls into the category of the virtuous women old Sarah, Rebecca, etc. Such women can't have bad character in their matrimonial homes.

As for those who preserve their virginity for the sake of their local deities, I can't say whether they will have good or bad character in their matrimonial homes.


From what you said above, I believe you read the same Scriptures that I read. Can you mention anywhere in the Scriptures where man's virginity was stated? How do you ascertain if a male is a virgin or not? Is there any kind of seal? But, the Creator made a woman with a seal on vagina. If it was not important, he wouldn't have created women with seal on the vagina. It is that simple.

I don't think any woman who has slept with multiple men can be trusted o. My opinion.

MrBrownJay1:


sadly, people WILL ALWAYS do what they want, regardless of what you religious hypocrites believe.... you think men/women today dont have sex because of what your holybook says?! you think a man will turn down the love of his life because she aint a virgin?! look around you!! women and men dont really care about "your" views on premarital sex etc....do you know why? because men/women today understand that if they been fukcing plenty plenty toto/dikc before marriage, they will fully understand that the women/men they will settle with may not be a virgin (and thats ok).


It is like I said above: "we, the saints, servants and messengers of Yahushua the Messiah, will do what our Father in heaven, Daddy in the sky, says. The others can go ahead and do what their own master and father says". That is not difficult to understand.

And yes, many - the saints, servants and messengers of Yahushua the Messiah - abstain from premarital sex and adultery because of what our Scriptures say.

You mean the same men and women who see nothing wrong with adultery. Heck, there is nothing like adultery in their dictionary. Even those men you referred to would pick a virgin for marriage if given options and this is after they have slept with so many women o.

Let me reiterate: given options, there is no man that would not choose a virgin for marriage. It is that simple.

MrBrownJay1:

you religious people are the ones putting value on virginty, and so be it....go look for virgins and be merry with your own life!

It wasn't man who put value on virginity. It was He who made humans that put value on virginity. He even recommended that a woman be stoned for being promiscuous while still in her father's house. But that law is no longer practised now, anyway. Those who fear and honor their Messiah and Master will raise up children who know the importance of abstinence from premarital sex.

Somebody said somewhere that if virginity was not important, the Creator wouldn't have put a seal on the vagina of a woman. I agree with him/her completely.

There is value on sexual purity. Even the kingdom of wickedness knows this very well.

MrBrownJay1 post= 109220852:

BTW i suggest you read your holybook properly... as to understand that many highly respected men of thats said book had concubines/mistresses and babymamas, and there was nothing wrong with the act!

Can you mention some of them? Give scriptural references also.

I think the context of that verse shows Elisha prayed before doing those actions!

Yeah, he prayed before doing that.

2 Kings 4: . 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to YHVH.

Yap! Obviously, he did that to bring the boy back to life.

I think EliYah made the prayer here:


1 Kings 18: 36-37 36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet EliYah stepped forward and prayed: “YHVH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37 Answer me, YHVH, answer me, so these people will know that you, YHVH, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”

The promiscuity is too much. Sexual purity for unmarried people is now like an abomination in the sight of many out there.

The issue of the female folks keeping their virginity can be likened to two equations, A and B, where the solution to equation B depends wholly on the result of equation A.

The male folks will have no other choice than to abstain from sexual immorality the moment the female folks start preserving their virginity till marriage and for their husbands.

So what "way of life" do you subscribe to?

This way of life.

Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: YHVH our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love YHVH your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Deut 8: 6 Observe the commands of YHVH your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him.

Deut 10: 12 And now, Israel, what does YHVH your God ask of you but to fear YHVH your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve YHVH your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe YHVH’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

Deut 11: 1 Love YHVH your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.

Matthew 11: 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

John 1: 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of YHVH— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of YHVH.

John 14: 6 Yahushua answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 23 Yahushua replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

Education / Multi-sector, Multilayered And Multipronged! by TheElated177: 11:54pm On Jan 07, 2022
The Nigerian government has announced a ‘big plan’ for some beneficiaries of the social intervention programme dubbed: N-Power.

The federal government in a communique released on Thursday revealed that it is set for an enhancement programme for the 2016 N-power programme beneficiaries.

“The 2016 beneficiaries will proceed into an enhancement programme as you continue to give your service and earn your monthly stipend,” the statement reads.

The federal government noted that “the details of the N-Power Enhance will gladden” the hearts of the beneficiaries.


Although, the statement did not indicate when the enhancement programme will start, it however, hinted that the enhancement plan is a “multi-sector, multilayered and multi-pronged” one.

“The programme will be expanded, enriched, made bigger and better and we will improve the welfare of those in the programme,”


It is currently in operation in the 36 states of Nigeria. The main thrust of the N-Power scheme is to harness Nigeria’s young demography through appropriate skill development, providing a structure for large scale and relevant work skills acquisition and development, and linking outcomes to fixing inadequate public services and stimulating the larger economy.

Beneficiaries are engaged on different areas of public service, including education (N-Teach), health (N-Health), agriculture (N-Agro), building/construction (N-Build). Beneficiaries are paid a monthly stipend of N30,000 during their period of engagement.

I agree Max, "you need wisdom to discern what happened is written in the Bible", but I guess some people need to lie to themselves so they can continue to believe what they want to believe but they can't or should not expect everyone to believe their lies.

We read in the Holy Book of Truths that when Adam had lived one hundred thirty (130) years, which was after he was supposedly meant to have died in the Garden of Eden, he became the father of a son in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty (930) years; and he died". [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen+5%3A3-5&version=KJV]Gen 5:3&5[/url]

So effectively, at least 800 years after eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil which was supposed to kill him if he ate, Adam finally died. Isn't it sort of odd for you to claim the eating of the fruit at least 800 years ago killed him? I mean, does that not seem like a very ineffective poison to you or that at least the person who forbade them eating the fruit lied to Adam for some reason?

Instead we read that Adam's eyes opened and he saw that he was naked. And he and his wife stopped being slaves and got their own farm instead of working for the owner of the Garden of Eden whom some think is their God!

If we teach this to the Adams and Eves in the North of Nigeria would alimanjeri not be eliminated through education and be freed from the slavery they are kept under?

Is it not the truth that the entire teachings of Christ is "Eat fully of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil so thy days may be as long as Adam's?

In fact, can it not be said that for Christians at least, the closest we have to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Word in the Holy Bible, which we are advised to imbibe daily so that we may acquire understanding and live?

Yeah, I know it's not what they teach you but I know some are capable of wisely discerning. So, did the so called serpent lie?

Religion / Re: The Real Explanation Of John 1:1-3 by TheElated177: 9:28pm On Dec 06, 2020
Theboss100:
Let me analyze that John 1:1-3. This text does not in any way support the fraud trinity. Three person does not make one God. Let me prove it to you people. In the beginning was the WORD which is the same as LOGOS. Which we all know is Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:15-20. He was the first thing created by God. God then used him to create everything both visible and invisible.
2. The WORD ( Jesus Christ ) was with God his Father.
3. And the WORD ( Jesus Christ ) was God. That's true. Pls read the following
1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

All things were created by Jesus Christ and without him, nothing would have be created.

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Falsehood of Trinity

Many people including this brother I am qouting believe in trinity which they say three persons make one God i.e God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
This is false as the Bible texts I stated earlier disproves it.
Let's go further. Bible texts
God said in the book of Isaiah

Isaiah 40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
Isaiah 46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

2. Jesus Christ collaborated with the above when he said his father is greater than he himself.

John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. John 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Conclusion
The final self explanatory text of the Book of books.
This is an even that happened during the baptism of Jesus Christ.
Only the wise will understand

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

The Holy Spirit is not a person but the active force of Jehovah. It's simply His Power. That's is why sin against the holy spirit is not forgiven. It's penalty is death.

And to tell you that devil has used his falsehood through his fake prophets, pastors etc to blind many. How can you believe in trinity when Jesus Christ himself always pray directly to his father when he was here on earth during his first advent Anything he does, he always acknowledge his Father. That's to show that God is greater than him.
May Jehovah have mercy upon His lost sheep. Amen


Never equat the Holy Spirit as a person as this text in John 17:3 will make you look stupid

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Jesus Christ was a rich man in Heaven but he has to be made a little lower than the angels just for your sake and mine. God made it happen and yet people equat the both of them. God have mercy.

Religion / Re: After Jesus’ Resurrection, Was His Body Flesh Or Spirit? by TheElated177: 12:11am On Dec 04, 2020
DappaD:
The Bible’s answer

The Bible says that Jesus “was put to death in the flesh but made alive [resurrected] in the spirit.”​—1 Peter 3:​18; Acts 13:34; 1 Corinthians 15:45; 2 Corinthians 5:​16.

Jesus’ own words showed that he would not be resurrected with his flesh-and-blood body. He said that he would give his “flesh in behalf of the life of the world,” as a ransom for mankind. (John 6:​51; Matthew 20:28) If he had taken back his flesh when he was resurrected, he would have canceled that ransom sacrifice. This could not have happened, though, for the Bible says that he sacrificed his flesh and blood “once for all time.”—Hebrews 9:​11, 12.

If Jesus was raised up with a spirit body, how could his disciples see him?

• Spirit creatures can take on human form. For example, angels who did this in the past even ate and drank with humans. (Genesis 18:​1-8; 19:​1-3) However, they still were spirit creatures and could leave the physical realm.​—Judges 13:15-​21.

• After his resurrection, Jesus also assumed human form temporarily, just as angels had previously done. As a spirit creature, though, he was able to appear and disappear suddenly. (Luke 24:31; John 20:19, 26) The fleshly bodies that he materialized were not identical from one appearance to the next. Thus, even Jesus’ close friends recognized him only by what he said or did.​—Luke 24:30, 31, 35; John 20:14-​16; 21:​6, 7.

• When Jesus appeared to the apostle Thomas, he took on a body with wound marks. He did this to bolster Thomas’ faith, since Thomas doubted that Jesus had been raised up.​—John 20:24-​29.
