ngoziliz: Leviticus 19:26-28

for guys who shave, how can i explain verse 27


26 ‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.
27 You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard.
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.

People quote scriptures without fully understanding.Don't they see where it says'FOR THE DEAD'?Are all tattoo marks for the dead?And what about shaving in verse 27?People just follow others teaching ignorantly.
Tattoos are not sin except is done for initiation into a cult,some idol worship or for worship related to the dead.
I dnt av tattoos and dnt like it but I study Scriptures and dnt just follow ignorance.

carmelion: 3weeks pregnancy result?from a hospital?That's kinda rare.There are rare cases sha.I have never been pregnant before o,but......

Well,you have to man up and tell your mum.she would be the one to present it to the big wig your dad.

please keep the baby.You will remember this story in the future and smile.

you can get a positive pregnancy result in just about 2 weeks from a blood test.

Anyway,u said u've never been pregnant before.

obitee69: My GF just broke the news to me dat she's preggy after some valentine loving. I love her but not ready for a baby now o. I'm 24+ n I just got a job wif a new gen bank. N my babe is 23+ n in school. The prob is how do I tell my folks..I can imagine d look on my dads face. Pls advice friends. Shud I move outta my parents house b4 I break d news or shud I do it asap? Also I'm still on probabtion in dis bank still earnin trainee money

When you know u are still with your parents,your girl is still in school and u are still earning trainee money,didn't u ever hear of protection?
Now tell your parents and whatever arrangement u can make,go ahead with it.
You're going to be a father.

[quote author=fresh_dude]I agree with you up till the oftentimes, handbag bit. What could she possibly be carrying in a handbag that would be too heavy for her?[/quote]Baby things.

blank: I know the boy as well. It happened in December?

It must be a different child.It happened a couple of years ago.

Na albino jor.

How old are u op?If ur wife is carrying d baby,u won't carry her bag?Marriage is about helping each other.I iron her clothes,carry bag and do whatever is necessary.

Read Mark 4:1-32.Something in that passage aptly describes your situation.
Also in John6:66-69,some of the disciples of Jesus turned back and chose not to follow Him again.He turned to the twelve disciples and asked if they also will go away,Simon Peter said,'Lord to whom shall we go?Thou hast the words of eternal life'.
If a man turns from God and His Christ,to whom or what shall they go.They become like wanderers in the desert,looking for what they will never find.A thirst in their souls that will never be quenched.
Jesus has words of eternal life.No prophet or philosopher ever did.

I once had a neighbour whose 3yr old son also fell from the last floor of a 2-story building.The boy had a fracture on one leg and a few bruises.
God has a way of keeping children.

The same heart of unbelief and the one to believe existed then even as it does now.
There were those who followed the books of the prophets and when they saw Jesus,heard His words and saw His works believed.Examples include the woman by the well,Jairus and his family,the Centurion and his family,the woman whose daughter had a demon,the woman with the issue of blood etc.

If u were alive then and saw these works and heard His words,will you believe?Many saw and still rejected.Two significant groups were those who said He cast out demons with the spirit of Belzeebub and those who saw the blind man beside the temple receive sight.

The question is are u alive to God?The bible says all men shall be taught of the Lord.If u are alive to God and your heart open to Him,you will believe.

Taeewo: I dont know why christians dont ask their pastor(s) question during sermon..check NEHIMAIH 8 VERSE 6 and ask ur pastor the meaning..

Stop deceiving yourself.They bowed their faces to the ground does not mean they also placed their foreheads on the ground.Moreover they did not do it as a daily routine.
It's common knowledge that the books of the Jews and the Bible was where prophet Muhammed got many ideas.

Segeggs: @thorpido.
you just showed me u r not a christian.when judas complained about the expensive perfume dat it should have been given to d poor,jesus told him dat d poor u will always have but d messiah-NO!so he wanted to be cherished while around and after he leaves,the poor should be cherished .but christians like u and anita prefer lavishing d money on birthdays,inviting expensively dressed people thereby chasing away poor people cos their dress would be shabby and below standards.
check out d calibre of people at anita's celebrate;were they any poor man there?were u even invited?
concerning christmas,u got it all wrong.read ur bible and make researches

I'll let you be young man.I understand it's a mindset.

jechona: - yes the health state of most Nigerians is bad but i believe appropriate attention rather than nagging can help their situation.

-yes the hospital is not a charity organisation but that is not enough reason for the exploitation most hospitals do.

-how cases when go to the hospital (what happened to me, spending a whole monday in a state hospital in osogbo and can't be attended to, reasons being that there is no light, and the hospital can't put on a generator that is not faulty) is it part of the investigation for proper diagnosis too?

- for the word 'most', perhaps I don't have a dictionary, you can help me with one.


- for me being misinformed, I will appreaciate it if you get me properly informed. So we can seize the bull by the horn when we have the opportunity to make Nigeria better.
Thank you.

Doctors are not trained to put on generators.You will have to face the government.

ngoziliz: she also runs you...

I allow her run sometimes.You know women enjoy feeling wanted.

deols: na lie. women do it quietly.

Have u ever played a game with a child and u let the child win?

ngoziliz: who runs the world?...u know the rest

Men rule,women can run.Na my wife dey run our kitchen.

ngoziliz: I have always known that women are kindof stronger than men

Men rule nevertheless.

Segeggs: going to school or not doesnt stop u from beign a christian.paul and some of the apostles had some form of education but they ensured that they remained in line with the practices of jesus.birthday celebration leads to extravagant lifestyles with money dat could have been used for charity spent lavishly indulging people in excessive drinking,dancing provocatively,sex etc.dont tell me dat christians celebrate their birthday in a different manner cos its thesame excuse u guys give for christianizing d pagan christmas.

answer this question:which adds to the gospel-birthday or education?

I understand where u are coming from.I'll remind you of the story of when a woman came to pour an expensive perfume on Jesus and some criticised it and said it was a waste and it could have been sold and the money given to the poor.You belong to that school of thought that 'it could have been sold and the money given to the poor instead of wasting it'.It's a mindset that comes with indoctrination.
No one is ruling out the fact that there could be excesses but I guess u have never been at a classy wedding before where class and moderation were shown.
You speak about pagan Christmas?Learn more...pagans don't celebrate Christmas.It's the same ignorance when people talk about pentecostal Christians.The people who celebrated pentecost were not Christians.Get knowledge rather than just indoctrination.

Larrybillz: Barely hear of dia kids...sure they av one« Just askin (n pls dnt tel me to google it)

They have two daughters who are in the UK with their mother.

Uwakuwak: i'm angry, i want to know why my post always disappear after typing?

na the Sagem phone wey u dey use.

Physically,it might have to do with the pressure a man is subjected to.He has to take care of a family and has to work harder than the average woman.Often he takes up physically demanding jobs.All these take their toll on a man's health.

Physiologically,a woman is actually stronger than a man,though a man is physically stronger.A male spermatozoon lives for a few days while the females outlive the males when released for example.

Segeggs: wedding is ordained by God that was why christ went but when herod celebrated his birthday jesus never went.the only righteous man at the event was john the baptist who got beheaded thesame way pharaoh beheaded one of his staffs on his birthday.

you are the pharisee or sadducee that wants to continue with the TRADITIONS OF MEN thereby neglecting christ and his ways

Jesus never went to school.It must therefore be a sin to go to school.
Did you ever read in the bible that it is better to keep quiet than to talk and expose folly?Stop showing further ignorance and keep quiet.

This is worth emulating.I wish all the stone-age nairaland tribalists can learn.

'And this is life eternal,that they may know You the ONLY TRUE GOD and Jesus Christ Whom Thou has sent'(John17:3).

She should go for physiotherapy in OAU.The scope of physiotherapy as a course is wider,the salary is better,the position in service is higher.In Nigeria,lab scientists will get jobs easier because there are more spaces available for them to work than for physiotherapists but all in all,physiotherapy is better.

[quote author=SELFWORTH]thorpido: I think you have an issue with your selfworth.
How many people's birthdays have been celebrated on Nairaland?Why is this one an issue for you?

I have a problem with these kind of useless posts sending birthday congratulations to people who don't know you exist on a public forum. Really everyone should come on here and be sending birthday congrats to every Sue and Harry in their family including the family goats, chicken, dogs, lizards etc

Please explain to me the purpose of this post to NL members so I can understand . Becos right now, I don't see the point. A forum is a place to share views not post birthday messages to people publicly who don't know you exist.Okay I get your drift.You just don't like the messages being posted here.
Don't rule out Rev Anita being a member of Nairaland.

[quote author=baby_123]Abeg madam self righteous. Dont call me into this. People need to stop attacking others and insulting like village tarts on an anonymous forum where no one gives a rats ass about you. It is only psychologically imbalanced people that do such. So i put them in their place. Know the difference. Ignore a fo*ol and he will keep pushing it. Direct your talk to the mosquito who ran out of aro to insult her mother this morning.[/quote]Well I'm a man and definitely has a different perception.I'm nt claiming self righteousness either.I just feel it's nt everytime one should engage in an e-fight.Sometimes u can just ignore some things especially on an anonymous forum.

It always amazes me why women easily attack each other.The female brain makes me wonder.@baby_123 and ijeoma okeke100

Moukafoam: How is wedding related to birthday?

Just celebrate and dont try to justify it because you just made a mess of it

You mean you can't find a connection between a wedding reception and a birthday party?Hmmmm...na wa.
Are u a JW?

We need to be more security conscious.I read he was with a Toyota Highlander and drove out at 5.30am.
There nothing wrong with cruising the kind of car you want but a car like that at such hours on a lonely road puts you at risk.
Be prayerful always and before you step out of the house.Listen to your inner man.

SELFWORTH: Strange post!

Why is this news? Why is this a front page post in religion section?

Why don't people send their congratulations to her personally. Why come on NL to do that publicly?

She doesn't know you exist and hardly going to respond here is she?

I think you have an issue with your selfworth.
How many people's birthdays have been celebrated on Nairaland?Why is this one an issue for you?

sweetrita: One Pastor said Celebrating of Birthday is a Sin. And any Pastor that Celebrates Birthday is a Pharo. Because Pharo is the only person that celebrates his birthday in the bible. is this true?

The same ignorance expressed when it comes to the issue of wearing earings or not.That they used gold to make a graven image means using gold is a sin.

Ye err not knowing the Scriptures....
