[size=13pt]4.Wearing an attachment and covering of the head[/size] The same scriptures for jewelry wearings also applies here Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. (1 Peter 3:3-5) As I quoted in the scripture above, there is no sin at all if you decorate yourself from head to toe with gold but the Bible made us understand that we should not just be concerned about this act but also make sure we enmesh ourselves with GODLY virtues so enjoy wearing your jewelries while keeping in mind the need to uphold GODLY virtues I always marvel at the taught that wearing an attachment will take you to hell and I honestly have not found one verse in the scripture suggesting this so I don’t really need to waste time on this issue. You can beautify your hair anyway you like and that has got nothing to do with been saved or making heaven. Concerning the covering of head in church or when praying, many churches are so myopic about this because the very passage in the bible they usually quote stated clearly that the long hair of a woman is a covering to her head and this simply means that if you are a lady with a low cut,it is expedient to cover your head but if you have long hairs i guess that itself is a covering to your head. Lets read this together. 13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, [size=16pt]15but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering[/size]. 16But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God. 1 Corinthians 11:13-16

[size=13pt]3.Wearing of jewelries[/size]: There are two separate verses in the New Testament that, at first glance, appear to teach against wearing jewelry. The first is 1 Pet 3:3 which reads, “Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel…” The second and very similar verse is 1 Tim 2:9 that says, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array…” But are these scriptures forbidding the use of jewelry by Christians? A number of holiness-based Christian groups have come to that conclusion, but doing so fails to consider the numerous other passages in the Bible that actually appear to endorse the use of jewelry. In fact, many places in the Bible show that God uses jewelry as a blessing to his children. One of the first passages in the Bible to deal with jewelry is Gen 24:47, 48 which reads, “And I asked her, and said, whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands. And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.” Here we have a rather tender story of Abraham's servant giving jewelry to Rebekah, who was the woman God had specially chosen for Isaac. The servant then bows his head and worships God. If jewelry were sinful, his offering it as a gift to Rebekah, and then subsequently worshipping God, would be irreverent and inappropriate. We find another such example in Gen 41:42, which says, “And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck...” Joseph was one of the greatest men of the Old Testament, and God blessed him greatly because of his faithfulness. In this verse, we find Joseph accepting jewelry as a gift from Pharaoh. If God forbade jewelry, undoubtedly, Joseph would have rejected this gift. David, the man said to be after God’s own heart,1 writes in Ps 25:12, “As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.” David compares gold earrings to the way an obedient ear accepts wise instruction. Surely if jewelry were a sin, David would never have made a comparison between wise behavior and something that is sinful. The prophet Isaiah wrote in Isa 61:10, “I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” Isaiah compares righteousness and salvation to a bride and bridegroom who adorn themselves with jewelry. Would Isaiah compare a sinful activity to the salvation and righteousness of God? God, through Jeremiah, speaks of jewelry in this way: “Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number.” (Jer 2:32) God compares forgetting about him to a maid who forgets her jewelry. Again, if jewelry were sinful, God would never have made such a comparison. In Ezek 16:11-13, God says that he has blessed his children with bracelets, necklaces, earrings, jewels and crowns, “I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.” God would not offer his children something sinful as a gift or reward. Some may argue that God once gave and blessed the use of jewelry, but because of the vanity and disobedience of Israel, he no longer does, which is why it is forbidden in the New Testament. The problem with such an assertion is that it is not taught in the scriptures. In fact, the scriptures contradict such an idea. Luke 15:22 says, “But the father said to his servants, bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand…” This verse is from the parable of the Prodigal Son, given by Jesus. Surely, Jesus would not have used a sinful practice as part of his parable. Considering the overwhelming body of evidence that God not only doesn’t condemn the use of jewelry but has actually given it as a gift to his faithful children, it cannot reasonably be stated that jewelry is a sin. In light of this, let's take another look at the verses used to support the belief that the use of jewelry is forbidden:

[size=13pt]2.Alcohol intake [/size] Alcohol intake is not a sin at all but drunkenness is a sin. Some people can take two bottles of beer without getting stupid while some people will take just a glass and get tipsy. The problem is that how many people can draw the line between moderate intake of alcohol and excessive intake? This is why I will advice you desist from the act totally so that you will not cross the line and end up messing up yourself and allowing the alcohol control you which may lead you to sin. Although the Bible never says that alcohol itself is sinful, it does say many times that drunkenness is a sin. God says, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." (Ephesians 5:6) In fact, there are many verses in the Bible which speak out against drunkenness.

[size=13pt]1.Smoking [/size] Smoking is not a sin but the question is what do you smoke into your body? If there is something else that is not harmful to your body which is the temple of GOD,if only there is something else to smoke that will not damage your organs then you can smoke your way into the Kingdom of GOD but as long as you smoke in harmful substances that damage your organs or brain then this is regarded as a sinful habit and must be stoped before it takes you to hell.

[size=13pt]HERESY[/size] Have you ever been in a bus where some preachers come so hard by saying "If you perm your hair you will go to hell,if you are a woman wearing trousers,you will go to hell,if you wear earrings,you will end up in hell,if you keep boyfriends and girlfriends.hell awaits you,if you smoke or drink alcohol,hell straight,if you..." Some times i tend to almost voice out and tell them to preach salvation rather than confuse intending believers thereby driving them away from salvation. Do you know that many people are in hell today because they were so uncomfortable with giving their life to Christ because they can't imagine themselves not taking alcohol? Do you know that many ladies are in hell today because they felt that it is not just possible for them to stop wearing earrings and since they have been told that earrings wearers are not believers, they simply gave up the zeal to be born again and end up in hell. this article shall address many issues and many people will discover what exactly translate to sins and what we have as bad habits which are not sinful to GOD if done the right way. Please if you have a contrary opinion be ar liberty to share but only with vivid quotes from the scriptures and not by mare logic. So i ask; Is it a sin to smoke,to drink alcohol,to wear jewelries? Is it a sin to self service? for ladies to wear trousers? for women to perm their hairs,use hair attachments or draw tattoos? I will address these one after the other but whatever i will write on,i would like you all to read this passage from the bible. "When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:9-21)

God sends no one to hell because he has provided a way out. Hell was made for Satan and his angels but its totally up to you to decide if you want to go there or not. |

You don't need a pretty face or a curvy body to make a cute responsible man fall in love with you. Any man whether responsible or irresponsible,good or bad can get attracted to a curvy pretty chic at instant glance but that is where the danger lies because even when most men are only willing to have a taste of your curves,most outwardly pretty ladies tend to fool themselves with the fact that they are getting attention from many men because indeed that is where it mostly ends.ATTENTION. Have you ever bothered to ask why the not too outwardly beautiful chics are getting married quickly and also getting hooked to super cute responsible men while most sweet looking chics keep jumping from one man to another? Have you wondered why many ladies with costly Brazilian hair and sophisticated looks keep losing their men to ladies on low cut with simple looks? Here are some reasons and i hope it makes sense to you all. 1.Arrogance: The supposed not too beautiful ones with simple looks are humble.submissive,non abusive and level headed while the supposed outwardly beautiful ones can't just seem to pipe down and be serene with the men in their lives because they always have the subconscious believe that men will always come for them just to realize too late that most of the men that come for them do not actually come for them but for their body and of-course after having their way with them will likely dump them and move on to the next available sweet chic around. 2.Highest bidder: Many ladies with hot bodies tend to have this subliminal feelings that they are too hot for just any man with little cash to have so they tend to hope for a rich dude to buy them and they unfortunately realize too late that a rich man has enough money to buy as many hot chics as he can afford and once the guy has spent a ample sum on her if she is lucky to find one, she will be relegated and a new chic will definitely come on board. 3.Excessive body flaunting: When you flaunt your body as a hot girl,you are simply acting like a decoy and we all know how people treat sample products,they are showcased for people to see,touch and test and when its time to buy the actual product, we tend to demand for the ones sealed in the carton so the more you flaunt that sexy curve the more you are passing an indecent message to the guys. 4.Attention lovers: Yes its quite fascinating to be admired and wanted by many men and this feeling can keep many hot chics unmarried for a very long time because the admiration they enjoy from men is so overwhelming that they can't just imagine giving that up to be with a man. 5.Being too picky: I will not blame any hot chic for this but then many of them just don't know when to back down as they wil be bent on having a dude to compliment their hotness but unfortunately it does not work this way in the real world and they tend to realize too late and just pick any available one and this is why you see many hot chics ending up with guys that do not match up at all and this is because they have given up sweet guys hoping to get drop dead gorgeous ones. My advice to ladies generally whether hot or not is Just to keep a level head and be humble and trust me, even the most handsome and responsible men will come begging to have you for keeps. Its never about outward beauty but its all about the beauty of the mind and even a man who have sworn to date or marry a super curvy chic will melt if he comes across a humble,submissive,non abusive straight shaped lady with a quality of a real virtuous wife. Guys are wiser now and a reasonable man will not mind to marry a humble respectful ugly lady rather than have a manner-less and sharp tongued sex symbol as a wife but would rather bleep and dump such. Hope this helps |
emusmith:Self servicing is a rather complex matter. The Bible is totally silent about this matter but then I always ask; when you masturbate, what do you think about? This is where the complexity sets in. I really don’t think a single man or woman wil be thinking about a football game or a tractor when self servicing but probably about someone who he or she is not really married to which makes it lusting which translates to sin.. Married people who self service thinking about their hubby or wives may really be practicing a sinless act but I believe it will be unwholesome to self service thinking about an illicit sexual act. Nevertheless, this subject remains one with strong debate where some believe that as long as actual sexual intercourse is not involved, it is sinless and harmless but this is my take on the matter. |

YourMain:In as much as i agree with your standview i will also advice th lady to look deeply into that not so rich guy personal perspective of life so that she wont just love a poor man without a zeal to survive. There are many jackass guys these days who will not mind living on the lady in their lives. Furthermore i belong to the school of taught which believes that my lady has no role in financial contribution to the home front. I care less if she makes millions a month,its my responsibility to take care of her and the home and she should save her money or do watever she likes with it. |
Bonita101n2:Yourr case is pathetic. You and your brother needs serious re oriieentation and i must say you are not ready for a purposeeful affair. What defiines riches? is it money at hand or the potentials in us? A man of great potential is a million times better than a circunstantial rich man. A rich man can lose his riches and will nver rise again but take eveerything from a man of vision and great drive and he will bouncee back Anyways this type of thread can only be seen on a Nigerian forum and posted by a typical money monger lady. Iranu |
Seunaj05:It usually sstarts from cigerette then to weed and on and on |

Vikky014:lol! please do |
Rotimi47:No no they are not demons but simply aqua beings just like we have land human beings like you and i. Remember that GOD also created living things in the sea and they are probably one of those.

Kulas:While in Nigeria we often attribute spiritsm to having sex in the dream but in my school of taught its mostly a figment of our subliminal mind activities at work. A sex starved man is prone to dream sex likewise an hungry man is likely to dream about eating in the dream. "Occasionally, women and men may dream about someone they love or can't stand and are definitely not attracted to in real life. "Sexual feelings can be sparked by a range of emotions—including rage, which is a type of passion." And a passionate dream could signal feelings of anger—in real life—toward the subject of your dream. "It could mean you're angry at that person, and expressing your anger in your dream." But both say the bottom line is this: A dream is a dream. Don't get too hung up on it. "What's important is that women are able to separate their waking desires from their dreaming desires and know that their dreams don't have to dictate or suggest anything about their sex life so Shrug it off and move on. If you decide to ask spiritualists then you should probably be ready to get reaped off when they ask you to start bringing this or that for deliverance. Be as it may, if it keeps repeating itself then go for a spiritual counsel but for now just let it pass and pray to GOD against it. |
