Supper story tellers thread

What's supper story?Story you tell at supper?

There's nothing wrong with calling him by his name.Pastor,Revd or Bishop is enough reverence.

Onegai:
Before anyone answers this thread, please. look. at the. OP's profile. HE. IS. AN 18. YEAR OLD.

Feel free to decide whether or not you wish to dignify this with your replies or save your words, time and mb for a more mature person who has at least EARNED A SALARY, PAID RENT ONCE, HAD A MATURE. CONVERSATION WITH A WOMAN OR FATHERED A CHILD OR ADOPTED ONE to debate on something he/she knows about. The year 2000 is a loooonnnnngggģ time ago in this poster's life....

I am trying to stop us from fighting over words thrown carelessly about by people who write all sorts on things they have zero idea about. This trend is causing fatigue amongst smarter posters and keeping them away. The Family Section should not be run by people who have not entered university or had any real responsibility
Thanks.

Lol.So true Onegai.
I actually posted because I found his thread funny in an odd way.
He shouldn't be opening threads on marriage or childbearing.He should be in education section.

Jehovah na. Did he complain when Judas kissed Jesus?

I can only imagine this happening in a Nigerian church

I believe you're being cheeky.There's a difference between kissing to greet and kissing as a sexual activity.There are cultures where it is normal for men to peck other men on the cheeks.
Homosexuality is not Jehovah's way.

I think they are more mothers than 21st century mothers because they had more children on the average.
The women of this generation no dey born plenty children.Dey no get body.

The teacher should be made to sit on hot water too.
Teaching is a calling and some people have no business in the profession especially kindergarten teachers.

ifyalways:
If you check very well, the mother will be a failed model hence living her failed dream on the poor child. So so pathetic.

Where is the child's dad

Men should get more involved please. Screaming on NLD is not enough.

Probably a single mother.She's obviously a failed mother.

lordcyl3:
any of the gods

I like your answer.It has to be any of the gods.

lordcyl3:
God bless their union

Which God?

I couldn't resist this......this is end times.

Truckpusher:
Quite impressive for a man that used up almost four paragraphs just to justify a teaching that doesn't make sense.
So, pray tell , what is this particular thing that has made the laws of God so irrelevant according to your load of crap that was churned out with the target of soothing some unbelievers who have adopted a way life and an attitude to do whatever they like while believing that as long as it is their heart desire in conformity with their belief system then God is at peace with.
The bible is straightforward and God doesn't change.

You obviously do not understand the scriptures.

Psycho!
One of the dangers of the internet.

I was going to say wetin join him with sports but I remembered that he is an ex-boxer.

Truckpusher:
When you come back I want a concrete well explained answer and not some cooked up doctrine - By the way you're the one sounding vague with your interpretations here even when I showed you a quotation where Jesus himself specifically said something that is plain and simple even to the dumb yet you managed to twist it to soothe your belief system.
I'm waiting for your answer on the above mentioned subject you quoted.

I will try to summarise this but make it concise.

When God created Adam and Eve,they were without sin and no law was given to them because they were righteous.Righteous men don't need the law.
They however sinned and took on the nature of sin when they obeyed the devil.Men through their lineage carried on that sin nature.Laws and rules came because men could no longer live a life that met God's standard.When Moses came,he made those laws he received from God concise so as to have an order.Those laws were given to Jews(they were not Christians ).

When Jesus came,He came to deliver to mankind redemption and the ability to receive and carry the righteousness of God which was lost with Adam.He came to give man a new nature.That was why He said,'Except a man be born again,he cannot see the kingdom of God(John 3:3).
He said He came to fulfil the law which was part of His sacrificial giving.However,there's something better than obeying or keeping the law(which no man can ever keep perfectly - take note of that).It's receiving the nature and righteousness of God which He came to give the world(John 3:16).

In that same book of Matt 5 that you have been quoting,He said in vs 20;
'For I say to you,that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees,ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven'.
These were people who kept the law and were obeying it,yet Jesus said the righteousness of the people must be more than that letting you know the law was not perfect and no man could fulfil it.Only Jesus did!
As Christians,we have received eternal life(for as many that have) and have the nature and righteousness of God.We have something better than trying to obey laws which no man with the unregenerated nature can obey perfectly.It's not that the laws are useless but now we have a nature that pleases God without trying to score points by obeying laws.
Jesus brought a new order.There was a transition.

Truckpusher:
You must be running with some doctrine being pioneered by some churches to soothe their belief system.
In Mathew 22:37-40 when Jesus was asked about the greatest laws what was the significance of his reply ?

The problem with you guys is that you don't see beyond the literal expressions of Jesus' words.

I'll be back to expound on this.

hoobs:
hehehehe,you know nothing about Christianity!!!!,was it christ or God dat divided the bible into old and new....all these were man made!!!!.......normally there is nothing like old and new,because Jehova is not old neither is he new,so his mod of worshiping him doesn't change......I repeat Exdous 20 should be your foundation.....then you go down to numbers,levitcus nd deutronomy.

I know where you are coming from.You have limited knowledge.
You know nothing about dispensation and spiritual times.

Truckpusher:
But the same Jesus said that he didn't come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the Prophets but to fulfill them - Mathew chapter 5:17.

Yes He came to fulfil the law.Do you understand the fulfilment part?
The bible says the law is not made for the righteous but the sinner.It's the sinner who has to try to keep the law(not that he can keep it perfectly however).Jesus came to fulfil the law by offering Himself as a sacrifice that man can receive the righteousness of God.
When you have the righteousness of God,you have His nature.What law are you trying to obey when you have His nature?

porka:
'... the state of many intellects'?

Obasanjo wrote that?

Yea,intellects is correct.It's more common to use intellectuals however.

KashyBaby:
In these generation,where everything are so expensive I think being a full time housewife is not a good idea unless u are rich enough to support urself financially...remember,we women shud not only depends everything on our better half..still it's better if u can run something that could help and save for ur future children...

I was going to say this.
Op,your idea is good for the sake of the kids but times have changed and people have also changed.It could work but you might experience a lot of struggles.

This baby born talk don too much.Wetin you want women wey don born 8 children make dem talk?

hoobs:
mayb datz for you,u av different ways of worshiping ur god and it depends on time
But my own God is the I am that I am,he doesn't change his words remain now and forever until the last day......
Instead of his word to change heaven and earth will pass away....and what are those words....exodus chapter 20 has it all!!!!,dy there dy twist your agreements
Na all these useless pentecostal churches I dy blame!!!!,the same pastor that brain washes us evry sunday with crap"you shuldnt obey the law",will still go to the law and pick tithe and ask you to pay and you,yet you dnt obey the law
Shalom!!!!

Yea,the I AM that I AM but He sent Jesus for a purpose that you don't have an epignosis of.Even if you don't understand it,why does your bible have an old and a new testament?It's obvious you don't even know why.

There's nothing wrong with how you feel Op.Your needs are in order.
Many men need to realise that when they marry,certain things should change or better still give.You can't (emphasis) have all that free time you used to have hanging with friends anymore.When you decide to marry,it demands certain changes or else why marry?
Try to engage yourself more as others have said.Engage yourself with books and look for programs on Tv you can enjoy.You said your friends are a bit far off so that is your best shot.

I hate to say this but it doesn't seem your hubby is so into you.You guys were probably not buddies before you married.I also believe you should have seen this trait of him being an 'out out' person before you decided to marry him.
Be patient.He,hopefully will come around with time as your marriage is just taking off.Don't nag him but be affirmative and keep letting him know it hurts you and he should compromise.

dammytosh:
Hmmm.

I actually thought they will pull this theough together

They are both not working at it.

@Op,no-one should be denied joy.She should be happy.

heykims:
Really, humans have to deduce a name of their religion from a particular name.
In short, 'Christian' is Godmade while 'Christianity' is manmade..

English bro.You need to know the differences between verb,adjective and noun.

hoobs:
keep twisting the word of God to suit your argument,the man you claim ur copying his life said"if you love me u will keep my commandments",if u want to worship God you do so in truth and honest....and what is that truth....exodus chapter 20....shalom!

Hehehe,twisting the word indeed when you don't understand scriptures and times.
The bible says the sons of Isachaar had an understanding of the times.

Carelessness.How did they let it escape?Shooting it dead was extreme and such a colossal waste.

heykims:
..the last time I checked too, the word 'Christianity' never appeared in the Bible.

The word Christian appears(Acts 11:26).Christianity is a noun.

hoobs:
the 10 commandment and the laws of moses
The same man u claim to copy is lyf(christ-like) also said dah he has not come to destroy the law bt fulfil it yet you claim you dnt ave to obey d law bt the man your copying his life did and alsoe came to fulfil it,cnt u see dat someting is wrong somwia?

Yea,I see something is wrong somewhere and it is lack of epignosis- accurate knowledge.
Did you ever read in the bible that the law is not made for the righteous but the sinner?Do you understand that the righteous man fulfils the law and does not have to be obeying the law?
Jesus when He said He did not come to destroy the law was talking about something better than obeying the law which is having the righteousness of God.Read the book of Romans for more knowledge.
By the way,the 10 commandments were given to the Jews and not Christians.

Freemanan:
Okay...

But this new law is almost impossible for the "righteous man" to keep obviously.

You just don't get it.Which man has ever been able to keep the law perfectly?

Freemanan:
Hell no... I believe man evolved... From various explanations... Not Apes...

Okay,that's a long story anyway.

hoobs:
hmmmm,dis people self!,you dnt keep d law again?

What law?

Freemanan:
So you really believe God created one man and one woman which led to the world we have today

Wooow....

You think human beings evolved from apes?
