Pr0ton:
[size=20]Jesus Is God - The Bible both proves and disproves this notion, contradiction.

See why we have many denominations? Beliefs have to contradict because their anchor (the Bible) does to itself.[/size]
Give us scriptures to support your position and not just make a blank statement.
Christianity Etc › Re: Did Jesus Really Say I Am God? by thorpido(m):
mustymatic:
Jesus clearly said that the Father is the only God, and that He is his God, and that he doesn’t know the hour,
…... Christians say that he clearly declared his deity through lots of scriptures, I say actually he didn’t say it clearly, but all these are conclusions made, and by
examining them, we find that they are not real. The jews were never true followers of jesus. Many prophets sent bfr him they disbelieved
So let’s answer the Question: Did Jesus really say I am God?
@bolded,there were prophecies that the jews and others will not believe him when He comes and that prophecy was fulfilled so jews are not followers because they walk in disobedience to God in fulfilment of prophecy.

Only God has the power to forgive sins(1 Kings 8:39) yet Jesus said the Son of man(Jesus Himself) has power to forgive sins(Mark 2:1-12).Why would Jesus say He had such power to do what exclusively God could do?

The Jews who listened to Jesus knew He called Himself God when He said,...' before Abraham was,I am.He could have said before Abraham was,I was which would have been correct grammatically but He wanted to express something different and He said I am.The Jews knew what He meant and that was why they wanted to stone Him.

In John 8:23,Jesus said,' ye are from below,I am from above,ye are of this world,I am not of this world'.Can you explain to me what He meant by this statement?

LightIndarkness:
Ok the answer is this :

Because ....

Matthew 26:59

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death

Jesus Answered :

John 10:34

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Check John 10:32 33 34
You didn't understand Jesus' response.He called Himself God and they wanted to stone Him for calling Himself God.He then quoted their scriptures(the prophets)to convict them.If you go further to verse 36,He said God set Him apart and called Himself the Son of God.
Christianity Etc › Re: Did Jesus Really Say I Am God? by thorpido(m): 10:52pm On May 05, 2015
The problem with muslims who read the bible and come up with arguments like this is that they always choose to ignore further study but stick with one part.

The bible says that after Jesus spoke those words,the Jews picked up stones to stone him because they said He was making Himself equal to God(john 5:18).They understood the meaning of what He said!They knew He meant I AM God,just as God said I AM when He spoke to Moses.

So Op,tell me why they claimed he blasphemed?

I have my life but I feel I don't belong to the same world with my husband n im not suppose to be his wife.
You've been advised severally on the need to quit and get a new life but for reasons that you can't even rationalise,you have stayed put.
You have laid your bed and you have to lie on it.Many years to come,you will wish it had been different.You will probably be one of 3 or 4 wives.

What makes you fall out with the friends you have had?Even when distance separates you,you can still keep in touch by phones or mail.
It seems the choice you have is to either not have a bridal train or you could get some event planners to organise some girls for you.

babyosisi:
Couldn't say it louder
People should look for character first
An upright man with a good character and a drive to succeed is priceless even if he had nothing at the time you meet him
Money can come later
Those who go chasing money forgetting everything else or thinking they will change his character after marriage end up with major regrets

It feels good to know that whatever we acquired we acquired it together as a team
I often hear young ladies say if you start with a man and build with him,later he will abandon you and follow a younger lady.I think it's what they hear and see with their mums and aunts.
There are indeed cases of such but the bolded is the key.Make sure the man has good character and is well grounded.See that he is stable and of a balanced family.He should also be involved in church and social activities.
It will be very rare that such a man can turn back.
Also be prayerful.

^^^^It's not a Christian thing,it's a Nigerian thing.Who says muslims don't spend a lot of money too.They have the 7th day and 40th day ceremonies where they can spend as much as they want.

I didn't understand the financial implications of this until i had to bury my dad.You lose a loved one and you still have to 'lose' your money. Part of your expenses sometimes include buying equipments for the church that will conduct the service.

Wisdom
Very essential
From day one

But I have heard stories o
There was a story of a wife that the husband will beat up mercilessly and while she is balled up at a corner crying, in pain from all the bruises he will bring out his preek and urinate on her.
That is the worst abuse story I ever heard
This is the height of it..............................and the woman stayed in the marriage?
That man doesn't deserve a wife and should even be prosecuted.

Nope..... Dated him for 2 years. And it was not like this during dating. The bond was stronger and we use to do stuff together. Just not happening anymore. He is only interested in me visiting his family with him so they don't ask him y he is coming alone.
You don't have kids yet?Could that be a source of frustration?

I'm sorry but I think you just wanted marriage and jumped into this.

Faisal Adamu is a strategist, free thinker, constantly in a state of perturbedness, aspiring satirist and he’s profoundly ignorant. he tweets from @notfaizzy.

Stereotypical ignorance.I hope the Op was being satirical.

A lot of people who shout Calabar Calabar don't even know the difference between Akwa Ibom and Cross River not to talk of Anang,Ibibio,Efik etc

You just got married so they should let you settle into your marriage.If you stay in the same town,try to see them at least once in three weeks.I think that is good enough.
However,call them weekly.

People like d Igbinedion.Are d reason dat state is d only state in d s.South that doesn't pay her indigenes bursary or scholarship, mayb Oshobaba's monthly rent 2 BHTinubu n co. leaves nothing left 4 bursary either. Cos they always complained then wen ordinary Bayelsa was paying Almost 36K
Lucky Igbinedion is one the people that really messed up that state.He didn't do much to make Edo state grow during his tenure.
Health › Re: Making A Baby: Questions by thorpido(m): 6:43pm On Apr 30, 2015
If they decide to have a baby,they should sleep with each other(I don't mean sleep beside o).

Op,are you and your wife trying for a baby without success?
Start by calculating your wife's ovulation period and start making love everyday from the 11th day till the 17th of her period.If you can't do it everyday,do it on alternate days.
Try for three months and if there is still no success,then you need to go for further investigations.
Also,your wife can start taking folic acids.

Dr, am a ftm,in my 21st week. I have serious sore throat, pls what medication van u prescribe. Thanks
It's not right to prescribe drugs online especially for someone pregnant so I'll ask that you see your doctor.
However you can try gaggling with warm water and salt or lemon mixed with honey.

That's really sad.

Some news are hard to believe on NL hence my comment.
I have seen some women cry when the doctor tells them it will have to be a C/S.I know for some it's the cost they think about but for the others,i wonder what goes through their minds-maybe fear.
