In as much as i would want couples to work out differences in their relationships,i really want to hear from you guys if it involves a man beating his wife.
There's a woman on admission in the hospital where I work with a swollen face from battering by the husband.I don't know what to tell her.

That's life.It's amazing when people turn their backs on people they have known when fortunes change.

These are pictures of three young ladies.How are we sure they are the victims in question?Please verify before circulating pictures of innocent people on the net.

Geewan: He never said we should worship him

But He said I am the Way,the Truth and the Life and your way is not that way.

That means you are on the wrong path.

biolabee: No there wasnt formal education as we know it but there were apprenticeships and am sure there were trainings
Jesu studied carpentry under his father and Saul learnt tentmaking

There was no church wedding in the new testament but there were examples of how the early christians organised events.Having a church wedding is not an oyinbo thing.
The church has a procedure for weddings and you are not deemed to be married until you have satisfied the procedure.There are other ways to get married.You can have a traditional wedding and chuck the idea of having a white wedding.Listen to your question again;
Is it right to live together before white wedding?NO.
Is it right to marry in other ways and start living together?Then the answer can be yes.

biolabee: This has nothing to do with xtianity
Was ther church marriage in the bible

SMH

Una don come!
Was there going to school in the Bible?

If u are a Christian and you believe in God's words,why not wait till after your white wedding before living together?


If u are of the world system,anything goes.

biolabee: Why qualify it with the word bad

It's like putting your hand in your nose.

Her marriages have poor foundations.She will keep going on that way except she gets it right in her head first.

Rehil: Pls y do men do it?my son who is just about 2yrs old strokes his.Wats d way out pls?:|

It's normal for his age.Kids just discover their bodies.You shouldn't let him grow up that way.
The problem here is with the adults who grew up with the bad habit.

lorretta u: Nigerian men are 95 percent dogs.sometimes I pity us women for the unfairness and dirtyness we have to deal with in the name marriage.they have no family values at all.just can't wait to lay anything in skirts that passes bye.disgusting.

woman,u have been around the wrong men by virtue of your taste.I invite u to hang around new sets of people and u will see u can't have this blanket impression.

infofirst: Funny n doubtful

So many things in the world are funny and doubtful.

So so Abasi!Thank God for the life of your family.His grace and mercy shall continually shield us in Jesus' Name.

maclatunji: I laugh in Chinese, an illiterate trader who was busy with keeping accounts for his boss' caravan had time to study the Bible up to refuting many of its claims? Don't be silly.

You are allowed to laugh only in Arabic.You know u're the one who is silly.He was so busy indeed but yet had time for compiling the quran.The quran speaks severally of 'the people of the Book' and u don't expect him to know anything about the Book?That's not intelligent.

hornipipe: so lame

lame and comatose.
People should just stop this oga at the top ish.It's becoming boooooooring.

Which mind of God?So God is throwing all female paramilitary personnel in hell for wearing uniform?
Religious ignoramus.

Shollypopz: If this were to happen in the US, the NYSC officials are going to be in for trouble and media attention. Students are going to protest against such act.

She should be commended for staying true to her faith, she shouldn't be kicked out. I hope she sues them.

Madam Amelika.
There is a law that set up NYSC and there is a dress code.If u are serving,u sign a form.What suing is there?Have u seen a female American cop with a different dressing?

This country really bothers me.
There is a law that set up this NYSC.Anybody participating in it should abide by all the rules.In this country religious fanaticism really divides us.
I don't know if the government might review the dress code but i believe everyone should abide by the rules setting up an organisation.

SMH for religious people who think wearing trousers is a sin.
What of Efik men who wear wrappers?What of Scots who wear skirts.
Even Aaron in the bible wore skirts.

Patients do contribute to some of the problems.They think until they do a test,they have not been well checked out.Many are products of hearsay from neighbours.

BetaThings: The Bible is far bigger than the Qur'an. The Qur'an is easily memorised. How can somebody hide the truth in a book that I have memorised from me. Fact is that it is easier to hide things in the Bible from people




So when Christians were killing themselves, what was the right religion for people to practise. Go and study the history of Christianity
Google "War or Religion". "St Bartholomews Day Massacre"
Do you know the number of poeple killed to bring Christianity to the world - Americas, Asia etc
How did Christianity come to Nigeria. The colonialists subdued the people first and then the missionaries followed in their wake



I can tell you the history of Nigeria and include what is 60% true and 40% false. Is that a true account of Nigerian history?
Please who told you the Qyr'an fell from heaven. Anybody who told you that is a liar
Go and find out the truth and set yourself free
There are fundamental differences between the Bible and the Qur'an
In the Bible, God was said to have rested and got refreshed after creating heaven and earth
The Qur'an told us that God created the heaven and the earth and was not touched by fatigue Quran 50:38
Huge difference
Same for the stories of Joseph (Yusuf) in both books. Read chapter 12 of the Qur'an and you will see that the Qur'an accors a Prophet more honour than the Bible



We can ask Saul/Paul the same questions, Fact is that the Qur'an often contradict the Bible fundamentally





So the Qur'an which you tell us fell from heaven is now the validation of your faith?
The major problem I have with Christianity is that I cannot see myself killing my son because a third part offended me!
Yet God is merciful! Powerful enough to forgive Adam's sin unconditionally without anyone challenging him?
Did God need a Jesus to die for the sin of Adam?




Reconcile the story of Jesus in the tomb with that of Jonah




You are forgetting some essential point
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was truthful enough to clearly honour and recognise the attributes of Eesa (PBUH)
His account contradicts that of the Bible in profound ways to present elegant and dignifying slant of some common events
Look at how the conception of Jesus in the Quran differs from that of the Bible - compare the two
Look at how Jacob patiently bore the news of the loss of Joseph like a true Prophet of God. The Bible account has him tearing his clothes and wailing. A prophet wailing!
I will take my chances with Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) that all his other statements and actions are true and I will believe the Qur'an in its entirety

The Bible was written before prophet Muhammed was born.In the course of his trades,he came across Jews and early Christians and must have become familiar with the Bible because he was no doubt studious.What you have in the quran today are his own accounts.He chose to keep,change or remove whatever he wanted.
If u write a book today,I can read it and reword it.My account will be different to yours.Will u accept my account?
If u can,go to the Library of Congress in the US and consult a Bible that was published before prophet Muhammed was born as part of your research.

If there's another way to get ur blood out,u can take dat route.Seriously the test has to be done on ur blood and getting it out will only be by a needle.It's just a prick and doesn't take more than a minute to get ur blood.Just brace up to it.
The symptoms u described are a pointer.U need to seek medical attention.

MsDarkSkin: Christianity itself is the result of division.
remember christianity come from Judaism.

At one time the Jews were very xenophobic and believed
that their God, their prophets and their laws only applied to them.

Jews never believed in an after life, never believed in a devil
but rather thought themselves to be servants of God/Yahweh.

As the generations passed and more people began taking over what is now
known as Jerusalem, the ideologies between the orthodox jews and other
Jews of the younger generations began to change.

The myths of outsiders began to fuse with their beliefs. Then you had the gentiles/western european tribes and romans who ended up being thrown in the mix. Those people at one point condemned and even killed Jews. But as they began to convert, they started remixing the laws of Judaism and called it Christianity after "Jesus Christ".

And thus christianity was born. So I said all of that to say that Christianity
was formed out of scandal so to speak thus anything that came after most naturally would be the same way. First it was catholicism and then an off shoot was born...[b]Protes[/b]tants = Protesters

Get me?

You're not right.Your opinion is just borne out of a perception.
The Scriptures were handed to the Jews but they didn't have the revelation of it.
Have u heard of 'logos' and 'rhema'?Do you know the difference if u have heard?
The Jews knew a Messaih was coming but they didn't know when He came because of the circumstances of His birth.The Church today grew out of their ignorance and the revelation to Christians(Many Scriptures in the old testament backed this up).
A man's belief does not change the Truth.

She had better leave him alone.She's obviously not good enough for him.

Two very important factors.
One is the attack of the devil on the Church.The devil seeks to divide the Church by all forms of subtilty and that is partly responsible for the state of the Church today.

Second factor is knowledge.We do not all have the same level of knowledge and each denomination can only operate at their level of knowledge.The bible says,'And He gave some,apostles;and some prophets;and some evangelists;and some pastors and teachers;for the perfecting of the saints,for the edifying of the body of Christ:TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH,and of the knowledge of the Son of God,unto a perfect man,unto the measure of the STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST:that we henceforth be no more children,tossed to and fro,and carried about with every wind of doctrine,by the sleight of men,and cunning craftiness,whereby they lie in wait to deceive;'(Ephesians 4:11-14).
This scripture shows us we are divided by our level of knowledge.We do not have the same knowledge and so we would be divided along different lines.

Herbiodun09: Jesus talked in parables... Only for the wise ones to understand. All you interpret is plain English text.

The Purpose of Parables

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should[a] heal them.’[b][i][/i]

I guess you only hear and dont understand.

I laughed when I saw this.I wish u would know u fall under the category of the people Jesus addressed.The quran says He was not born of natural birth and they don't know the implication of that.

Having eyes but do not see indeed.

Throwing sense to the dogs in the name of modernisation.

ManirBK: BIBLE VERSES ABOUT PROPHET
MUHAMMAD
In the Old Testament, Genesis,
21:21 it is said: 'He (Prophet
Ismaaeel) dwelt in the Wilderness
of Paran; and his Mother took a
wife for him from the land of
Egypt.' Psalm 83: 4-6 talks about
the enemies of among others
Ishmaelites, and Hagrites (Hagar
being the mother of Prophet
Ismaaeel). Psalm 84: 4-6 "4-
Blessed are those who dwell in
your House; They will still be
praising You. 5- Blessed is the
man whose strength is in You,
whose heart is set on the
pilgrimage. 6- As they pass
through the valley of Baca. They
make it a spring; The rain also
covers it with pools."
There are several interesting
points in the above verses. The
name Baca could be Hebrew
whereas the word Mecca is
Arabic. Added to this the fact that
there is a designated House of
God built by Abraham peace be
upon him in Mecca where yearly
pilgrimage was performed from
the time of Abraham and Ismaaeel
peace be upon them both, even to
this day. The valley of Baca could
indeed be the same as the valley
of Mecca. The above verses seem
to place Hagar, Ismaaeel and their
children in the valley of Mecca
where Prophet Muhammad,
(Peace and Blessing of God be
upon him), was born.
Isaiah, 21:12-17 mentions 12...In
the forest in Arabia you will
lodge...15 For they fled from the
swords , from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow, and from the
distress of war. (Probable
connection with the enemies
mentioned in Psalm 83: 4-6
quoted above; also settlement in
Arabia is confirmed; the verse 16
which follows, also confirms these
verses are about Ismaeelites,
Kedar being the 2nd son of
Prophet Ismaaeel). 16 For thus the
Lord...all the glory of Kedar will fall;
17 and the remainder...people of
Kedar will be diminished...Isaiah
42:1-13 These are very moving
verses about 'God's elect servant'
who will bring forth justice to the
Gentiles. A point worth noting is
that Gentiles are the non Jews and
it was confirmed by Jesus peace
be upon him that he was sent to
the Jews. Moreover Muhammad
peace and blessings of God be
upon him is consistently named
by God as Mustafaa which means
'elected' and 'Abd' which means
'servant'. Prophet Muhammad
always referred to himself
consistently as the 'servant of
God'. The above verses cannot be
about Jesus peace be upon him as
many Christians believe, for at
least two reasons. Firstly, the
Christians and the Catholics
describe him as the son of God
and not the servant of God;
whereas Prophet Muhammad is
known exclusively as the Servant
and the Messenger of God.
Secondly, Jesus was sent
exclusively to the Jews whereas
Prophet Muhammad was sent
among the Gentiles.
ARE THERE ANY REFERENCES AND
CITATIOINS FROM THE BIBLE ABOUT
THE COMING OF THE PROPHET
MUHAMMAD? (Peace and Blessing
of God Be Upon Him)
Yes. There are several citations in
the Bible prophesying the coming
of prophet Muhammad, (Peace
and Blessing of God Be Upon
Him). Isaiah 42: 4 says ' He will not
fail nor be discouraged, till he has
established justice in the earth; . . .
The Ministry of Jesus peace be
upon him lasted only three years
and at the time of his departure
from this world it could not be
truthfully said that 'he established
justice in the earth'. However,
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings of God be upon him,
preached for 23 years and most
certainly 'established justice in the
earth' before he departed from
the earth. It is therefore
reasonable to conclude that
verses 1-13 refer to the coming of
Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings of God be upon him.
Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise
for them a Prophet like you
(Moses) from among their
brethren and will put My words in
his mouth, and he shall speak
unto them, all that I command
him".
Let me make some comments
about the above: Christians
believe that this is a reference to
Jesus peace be upon him. One
important word here is "Prophet".
Christians believe Jesus is the son
of God not a prophet of God.
Another important word is
"brethren". If it were Jesus the
word would have been "children"
because Jesus peace be upon him
came from the children of Isaac.
Since Ismaaeel peace be upon him
was the brother of Isaac peace be
upon him, the reference is
therefore to the children of
Prophet Ismaaeel peace be upon
him who will be brethren to the
children of Isaac peace be upon
him. Again the only Prophet from
the brethren of the Jews and the
Christians was Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings
of God be upon him. The next
important phrase is "Like you
( Moses)". Even a cursory
comparison will show us that
Jesus peace be upon him was
very unlike Prophet Moses peace
be upon him. Prophet Moses'
birth was natural whereas the
birth of Jesus was miraculous
without a father, to a virgin, peace
be upon her. Prophet Moses
married and had children, Jesus
did not marry and of course did
not have any children. The
ministry of Jesus peace be upon
him lasted three years and did not
see the laws of God establish in
his time. Prophet Moses peace be
upon him, preached the law of
God for many decades and saw in
his time, the law of God
established. Comparing Prophet
Moses peace be upon him, with
Prophet Muhammad peace and
blessings of God be upon him,
brings out an amazing similarity.
Muhammad's birth was natural,
he was married and had children;
preached the law of God for 23
years and saw in his own time
God's Law established in his land.
The phrase: "I will put My words
in his mouth", takes on great
significance because Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings
of God be upon him, was
unlettered; he did not know how
to read or write. Normally God
would put the message in the
Prophet's mind. In this case
attention is drawn towards
"words" being put into the
"mouth". Prophet Muhammad's
sayings as well as eye witness
accounts describe his receiving
the verses of the Holy Quraan, and
his tongue moving with the
words being put in his mouth.
Turning to the New Testament, let
us look at John 14: 15-16. It says:
"14-If you love Me, keep My
commandments. 16- And I will
pray the Father, and He will give
you another "comforter" (Helper
in other versions), that he may
abide with you forever". Also John
15: 26-27, John 16: 5-8 and John
16: 12-14.
Jesus peace be upon him, spoke
the Gospel in his native language
which is Aramaic. The earliest
translations were in Greek. It is
very very interesting that the
Greek word which was eventually
translated into English as
"Comforter" (Helper) is
"Parqaleeta" and the meaning of
this word is "one whom people
praise exceedingly". It does not
mean "the Holy Ghost" which is
what we are told the so called
"Comforter" means. I do not have
the slightest clue as to how this
meaning was given to the word
Parqaleeta. What is even more
fascinating is the fact that the
name Muhammad has exactly the
same meaning as Parqaleeta "one
whom people praise
exceedingly"! One of my friends
wrote very beautifully in his book
about the meaning of the word
Muhammad: 'The most praised
one. He is praised upon earth and
in the heavens, from the
beginning to the end, by men jinn
and angels, rocks and trees and
animals, by prophets before him
since Adam, by saints until
Doomsday. As all of this cannot
give him due praise, we beg God
to praise him. He is the only One
who truly knows the value and
the mystery of His Muhammad
and He is the only One who can
truly praise him'. The celestial
name of Prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings of God be
upon him is Ahmad. I will quote
from the Holy Quraan about the
connection of Prophet
Muhammad with the Bible as
follows:
Chapter 61: 5-6
"And remember Moses said to his
people: "O my people! why do ye
vex and insult me though ye
know that I am the apostle of
Allaah (sent) to you?" Then when
they went wrong Allaah let their
hearts go wrong: for Allaah
guides not those who are
rebellious transgressors.
And remember Jesus the son of
Mary said: "O Children of Israel! I
am the Prophet of Allaah (sent) to
you confirming the Law (which
came) before me and giving glad
Tidings of a Prophet to come after
me, whose name shall be Ahmad."
But when he came to them with
Clear Signs they said "This is
evident sorcery!"
Allaah is one of the 100 names of
the One and only God. Allaah is the
name of His Essence while the
other 99 are the names of His
Attributes.
As for "abide with you forever"
since Prophet Muhammad is the
final Prophet and the Holy Quraan
the final Testament and Revelation
from God, his teachings which are
more or less the same as of all the
other Prophets and Messengers of
God, Divine teachings of God, he
will abide in his teachings forever.

Keep deceiving yourself.You are free to twist the Bible the way u want it to be.My question is,if the bible is said to be false as u guys say,why then do u use it to prove Muhammed's prophet status?If the book of Isaiah spoke about him(and those Scriptures in Isaiah 12 were proverbs and not prophecies about any prophet),who was prophet Isaiah speaking of in chapter 11,40 and 61?

Please i want intelligent answers and not just blabbing.Thank you.

tintingz: ^ so also Adam...

Adam received the breath of God and he became a living soul.Jesus is however God's sent Spirit and there is a difference.Jesus said,'Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?(John14:10).Again He said,At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father(John14:20).Do you understand these Scriptures?

Show me a prophet who ever used these kinds of words.
