Christianity EtcRe: 50 Days 50 Reasons Why God Does Not Exist by thorpido(m): 8:22am On Sep 06, 2018
The atheist spends so much of his time trying to proove 'what does not exist'.
Isn't that madness?

Christianity EtcRe: Your Final Decision On Whether To Die As A Christian Or As A Muslim by thorpido(m):
Abdulgaffar22,your fictional narration and imagination of God's judgement day is interesting.
However,you do not know God and you assume.

Your Quran says Jesus was not crucified but another person was put in his place who was crucified.Don't you think that narrative is a foolish alibi.The people knew Jesus well,he was very popular then.If he wasn't the one crucified,won't the people have known?

Again the bible says,'very soul that sinneth will die'(Ezekiel 18:20)
The bible says speaking through the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 53:10 that,' Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand'.
Who was the prophet of God saying that he will be made an 'offering for sin'?

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. Isaiah 53:8.

Who had to be cut off(killed) for the transgression of the people that the prophet spoke about?

Yea cursed is every one that hanged on the tree the bible says.Ye the bible says the sin was laid on him.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.Isaiah 53:6
He was cursed because he carried the sin of mankind and at that moment,sin made him cursed.

You Muslims will start to quote the bible but will not see the things you are supposed to see!
The bible says that they having eyes should not see and having ears should not hear.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.Isaiah 6:10

House please is it okay as I see his Mum tomorrow to narrate every single thing to her even though it’s the past. My dad said there was no need to move on and just try to fix things but I’m worried about the damage about me. Even if it wouldn’t change anything as long as blood is thicker than water, can I just for the sake of my sanity?
You can meet the mom but you don't have to talk too much or get on the defensive.Just narrate what happened,tempers were flared and it happened and you are sorry about it.
You are human so don't 'hang yourself'.
FamilyRe: How Akwa Ibom Makes Their Daughters Unmarried Via Marriage List by thorpido(m):
Op,Akwa Ibom and Calabar are not the same.Calabar is Efik while most of Akwa Ibom is Ibibio.Their marriage lists are not the same.
NoToPile:
I salute my calabar people.

My cousin married one, this was around 2002-3, the list ehn shocked shocked


My akwaibom nysc friend that married around 2011/12 said her bride price alone was 400k as at then oo when 400k was quite valuable.


I think the way forward is that parents alone should be the one who determine what the groom bring. All these village association, elders, community, good mother's requirement is what makes it more cumbersome. This will be difficult to do in some cultures as they are very communual
Akwa Ibom and Calabar are not the same.The Calabar(Efik) marriage list is still manageable. It's the Akwa Ibom list work dey.

Sadgirl1281:
Yeah but that’s going to be the very hard part not just him coming home. It is not just going to be easy recovering and being amongst his people. Remember I am the woman here, married into his own family in which all of them are even located here so any family function or activities, I would have to be or mostly there so I can’t really escape. Would I be frowning when I get there or what? It’s hard.

Also I’m not an introvert, the difference is just I’m not in my comfort zone. I just moved here after getting married, family isn’t here, have t started working so a whole lot to settle in here.

We spoke again today and he said he’s now convinced that I am truly remorseful and all that.. that it is now his own part to get past the hurt, that aside the pushing, the fact I insulted him back by saying at his old age, he didn’t marry early or that’s why he didn’t marry early which was a response to the hurtful words he said he said to me.He said that even though he said hurtful words to me, should I have responded?

The only part I may need help or let me not say help but God should help me is just the after,ath. Facing everyone.
See talk!
I hope you reconcile and he comes back but the bolded says a lot.
Your husband is emotionally abusive and wants to have his way.It's something you will have to disallow going forward.

That’s what I’ve been trying to do, he left about 3 days ago though we have been speaking... I couldn’t even tell my dad he wasn’t back home. Presently he’s even at his brother’s place with the whole family... [b]Imagine my thoughts and how I’m feeling... while I am alone here no single family or so, he’s in a full house and only God knows what is being said about me[/b..
Stop worrying so much about what they are saying or thinking of you.You have to develop a thick skin.There is more to come in marriage or else you will have them walk all over you.

Sadgirl1281:
According to him, if he didn’t love me, he would have walked out and ended it as violence is the limit.

I want to move on from that but how when he isn’t back home. My parents, family are in Nigeria... his whole world are right here in this country... So whatever the case before anything I have to bring him back home.

The painful part though I am not condoning any violence or pushing or whatsoever but this his family too both brother and sister that are married for years, are they also saying that they haven’t had any quarrel or such in their own marriage? My only pain is mine came open, the whole world just after few months of marriage
How did you meet and marry?Was it a long distance thing or match-making?I feel he really doesn't respect you or love you.

You have only one choice now.Get busy with yourself.Get into your works and take up hobbies to keep you busy.You will have to call his bluff and make yourself happy.Start to act like you really got things to do.It will cause him to wake up.
If he still doesn't seem to be forthcoming,one thing you will gain from this is to not having your husband treat you like a slave (guess he brought you abroad).
FamilyRe: Very Sad Woman - Marital Woes by thorpido(m): 3:43pm On Sep 01, 2018
Sadgirl1281:
That’s the pain I’m on here sharing. The way it is seen even from my own side(parents) is I pushed him, that’s violence so no matter what he said or did or when he even pushed me back, all that is by the way... Everyone around me is all on me to have to make him come back home because he is my husband, I pushed him and wouldn’t want a broken marriage, blah blah etc

He came once to visit for us to talk physically and he said he felt better now us talking but he won’t just easily come home after just one talk that I have to prove to him and show him and make him want to come back. So meeting somewhere else wouldn’t really be an option, it has to be more like him coming to the house again to talk and all or if all things maybe return.
You DID it.It was DONE but you need to move from that.You have apologised to him and probably did to his family members too.Can't he(and them) move on from that?
It is not like you've done some unheard of thing in marriage,some have done worse(not supporting violence) but have resolved it and reconciled.
The question again is,does he really love you?
FamilyRe: Very Sad Woman - Marital Woes by thorpido(m):
Sadgirl1281:
We do talk on the phone even him saying he’s worried I’m alone in the house etc it for him to want to come back, I should prove to him and show him.
Ask to meet him somewhere,doesn't have to be where he stays presently.
He's dragging this too long and I think he's unnecessarily being manipulative.He keeps saying you should 'prove to him',yet he is absent.How do you do that? Through Skype? undecided
Does he really love you?
FamilyRe: Very Sad Woman - Marital Woes by thorpido(m):
Did you have a long distance relationship before tying the knot?
Seems to me you both didn't understand or spend time enough to check out each other's temperament. That said,you both can't raise your voices at each other when there is an issue,One person has to learn to cool it when the other is raging.

You have apologised,continue to.Ask that you both meet somewhere neutral and have a talk.

He needs to forgive and let go.I wonder why he has to tell everybody what happened between you both.Immaturity!He needs to be a man and handle his issues.
He must want the marriage too so he has to try to make it work.

You can't continue this way,Op.You need to plan for yourself.
As others have said,put money in an asset savings account that you can't reach.From the remaining money,keep some for yourself.
Send a fixed amount to your people to manage.

From time to time,look for job opportunities for them so they can start to earn an income too.

A lot of suicidal people have wiped out their families before killing themselves. So we really can’t tell if his state of mind was better to have him around kid. Plus a psychologically unbalanced parent affects kids quite negatively.
Well,it would be better not to have him around if he had potentials to kill his wife and kids.However, his death could have created a potential candidate for depression .......his wife(and maybe the kids later).
