I just read the KJV version to you.
That's not KJV version.
Any version that tells you that it's sexual immorality, burn the version. A woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive and if she remarried while her husband is dead, she shall not be called an adulteress but if he is alive, she is an adulteress. So which immorality is your version talking about?

Leviticus 20:10 - And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

This is also kjv.

sooperrescue:
Thou shalt not put away your wife except for fornication and whosoever that marries the woman that is put away commits adultery against her husband. Is not difficult to understand?

You just limit you argument on kjv, give me specific Bible quote where it's written that " Fornication" and not adultery should be reason for divorce?

Failure to do that do not quote me again?

What's fornication?
What's adultery?

Define them separately pls.

Thou shalt not put away your wife except for fornication and whosoever that marries the woman that is put away commits adultery against her husband. Is not difficult to understand?

pls I need a quote from the Bible where it's stated clearly that "fornication" and not adultery should be the ground for divorce?
Bible quote pls?

Adultery was never the reason for divorce. It is fornication. Matt 5.32 and 19.9. We have been led astray thinking that a cheating wife must be sent away. When you sleep with your wife before you married her, you have cancelled all ground for divorce

And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.Mathew 19.9

sooperrescue:
You are right but read KJV version of Matt 5.32 and Matt 19.9 and he said that whoever marries a woman that is put away commits adultery against the husband. So how can a woman put away for adultery according to you, still commit adultery against her husband if she remarried. The Bible says that a woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive and if while being alive, she marries another man, she shall be called an adulteress. The Bible says that any woman who is not a virgin on the day of marriage should be stoned to death in front of her father's house for playing the harlot while living there

the Bible says if the woman is send away by a man for any other reason aside adultery he made her adulteress.
The Bible even says if she's send away she shd remain unmarried.

you are confusing your self bro, all this stone here, stone there... Jesus came and put away all this laws by amending them with grace. If not for grace you would have been dead by now.
Now you said the op slept with his wife before marriage and even knew that she was not a verging yet married her?
If at all he knew as u are claimed and absconded after sleeping with her, what will u make of him?
I can see, when you are ready to. Marry you will go on testing sprees?
And according to you all non virgins should not be married?
Then while should you even get married?

sooperrescue:
Please read KJV bible. What is sexual immorality? It is used to deceive people. The only ground for divorce is fornication. Can a married woman commit fornication? The Op problem would have never come up if he had married a virgin. Virgins don't know what is ex, but because he slept with his wife while they were dating, and knew she was not a virgin and still married her, no excuse for divorce. The Bible even gave us a lifeline that whoever sleeps with a virgin must marry her. Mary, the mother of Jesus went through the problem when she was still a virgin and found to be pregnant. It took an angel to come and pacify Joseph.

oga stop all this blind argument, sex before marriage is called fornication while sex in marriage is call adultery... and the Bible is clear about it except you want to change the Bible.
And there's no where in the Bible where it's stated that one must marry a virgin.


How can a married woman commit fornication in marriage?
Pls stop already.

The first biblical ground for divorce is adultery. When Jesus was asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”. Jesus reiterated the idea of one man and one woman in a personal, purposeful, and permanent relationship.
Therefore if a woman decide to break the biblical culture of one man one wife, and 1+1=1, to 2+1= 2,then she's on her own.



Do not accept a proud cheating wife....

In the first, Matthew quotes Jesus as saying: “It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of porneia (sexual immorality), makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32).

Afodot0022:
Good day naira landers and happy holiday. I am writing this base on the challenge am having in my marriage. Some of you might have known little about the issue i had previously cos i brought it to the forum.

It happened that my wife was having emotional affairs with another man which i knew through her chat.

Though family and pastor were involved and have tried everything to resolve the issue between us. I have decided to forgive and forget and also give her a second chance even though it was a difficult situation for me, I decided to let go cos of my two daughters and don't want them to share from a broken home.

Now the issue am still having is that my wife has promise to change and be a better person and also promise to cut any emotional tile with the man. But I wasn't confident with that, so i told her to block this guy on all social media and also delete his number so there wont be any communication between them cos i sense if they both keep in touch, they might go back to what they were doing before. She got angry when i told her this and she said she can't block the guy cos they have been friends for many years even before she got married to me.

She started dating the guy last year under my roof and her reason was that i pushed her to do such act cos i wasn't giving her enough attention and love which is totally a lie.

So house, pls just let me know if i did wrong by telling her to block the guy or i over did it. I just felt blocking him will be best for us cos i noticed my wife is not fully detached from this guy emotionally.

Pls if you are in my shoes, what will you do house. If you want to get more insight about what transpired, you can go to my details nairaland.

Pls mod, help me by doing the needful.

I said this before and I will repeat again today, a woman that is confident enough to cheat and if accused you of pushing her to do it will cheat again... When she promised to change, yes she will change but not from sleeping around but to change strategies.

I can never forgive a cheating who're..

Enemyofpeace:
1. No nation can survive without saving for tomorrow.

2. The reason why we are talking about massive borrowing today is because we didn’t save yesterday

3. Nigeria is not a producing country. The cumulative effect of what we are suffering today is bad leadership.

4. Nigerians remain hopeful for a national rebirth, which implies returning Nigeria to Nigerians; farmers, teachers and students, lecturers, artisans, workers, pensioners and over a hundred million poor Nigerians who are not sure where their next meal will come from.

5. We have to move from sharing formula to production formula. All our young people in their productive age are not doing anything, so we are going to have a crisis.

6. Those who steal, if they come to church they will give them front seats, so, why would they not steal? They are the ones who are given chieftaincy titles, they are the ones who get titles in the world. So, we need to change all that.

7. In the battle to retake Nigerian, the odds are great and seemingly insurmountable, but with our commitment, patriotism and understanding that we are doing, what we are supposed to do for our country, lest she shall die, we shall move on discontent with what is and focused on enthroning what ought to be. In doing this, our battle cry shall remain: get your PVC and become part of this great liberation!

8. Such a noble task [of restoring Nigeria to Nigerians] brooks no conscientious objectors. I hardly use war metaphors for political analysis due to my belief that politics is not adversarial and not war.

9. The issue of tackling corruption and reducing the cost of governance is simple as it will start with me and my family members.

10. There is no need creating an office of the first lady to pacify women, when I can make them handle critical positions in Nigeria.

11. If a man has not created wealth, he cannot manage wealth

12. I remember Ngozi Okonjo Iweala crying everyday, begging us to save this monies for the rainy day. Most governors disagreed. They said let us share it. Now we are borrowing to feed.

13. I don’t have any single property in this country outside Onitsha. If you see any property outside Onitsha and they say it belongs to Mr. Peter Obi, burn it!

14. When you are borrowing for consumption, it gets to a stage when you cannot control it.

15. I beg you to participate more in politics, the society we help them abuse today will take its revenge tomorrow

16. If I sleep in a hotel and have to pay N250,000 a night, I will be awake all night feeling like I was robbed.

17. The only way out of recession is to spend for growth. You can only spend for growth either from savings or from borrowing. The question is: what are you borrowing for? Are you borrowing for consumption or for production? When you borrow for consumption, you are heading for disaster.

18. I have never travelled abroad for medical checkup, even as a Governor. I won’t start now

19. We shall use percentages to share the Nigerian budget to the critical sectors like hunger, health, education, security, etc., before talking of the office of the president.

20. Unemployment is worsening. Our unemployment ratio moved from 14.8% in 2017 to 18.8% this year. This means that more people have lost their jobs. We can’t survive like this.

21. To you young people, take back your country. It is your future they are toying with.

22. We cannot aim for skyscrapers when we cannot maintain simple toilets.

23. I am not desperate to be President, I am desperate to see Nigeria work

24. I am a Nigerian running to serve every Nigerian. I urge a show of respect for every candidate, tribe, religion, and person.

25. Whenever I hear of no structure, my answer to it is simple; the 100 million Nigerians that live in poverty will be the structure. The 35 million Nigerians who don’t know where their next meal will come from will be the structure.

26. Every Nigerian child must be prepared for leadership, and every Nigerian leader must work for all Nigerian children.

27. The common goal is to make Nigeria better. Elections are a democratic contest and need not be adversarial.

28. The society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. No country survives by recklessness and extravagance. Unless the present dangerous trend of governmental failure is reversed, the Nigerian child remains disadvantaged.

29. Nothing can be achieved with festering insecurity. Diametric security remains the bedrock of peaceful nations and thriving democracies. As we advance, proactive security will be crucial in regaining control of our communities. Government, for its part, must meet its responsibility to protect its citizens

30. But for bad governance, Nigeria has no business with poverty and unemployment.

31. Every part of Nigeria has the potential to grow and compete, but we are not doing that

32. As a nation, we cannot be insensitive to the ongoing bloodletting and targeting of the most vulnerable and helpless in our society. Security measures must be proactive and holistic, more so in areas close to ungoverned rural and urban communities.

33. No country grows economically with a 35 per cent unemployment rate, which, when combined with under-employment, will be 55 per cent. That’s a figure of 60 per cent of unemployed Nigerians being youths—the greatest asset of any nation.

34. We must begin to look at the history of people who vie for any political positions in our country. Where was the person 25 years ago? What was he/she doing? How has he/she managed wealth and other leadership positions?

35. It is time we shunned ethnic and religious sentiments and vote a Nigerian leader who will unite every section of the country and ensure the integrated development of the nation.

36. Nigerian women are assets that need to be put to good use. Let’s take a cue from Bangladesh, where the current and longest-serving Prime Minister is a woman. Their opposition leader is also a woman.

37. I have always sued for the support of small businesses. They are the engine of economic growth. With well articulated fiscal and monetary policies, our small business sector will boom and catalyze the economy for more growth and development.

38. A father must leave a better place for the children. That’s why he sacrifices to make life better for them. That is what leadership should be.

39. We need the type of growth that will educate our children, and provide primary health care for all the communities. We don’t need development based on speculations that government officials are celebrating all over the place.

40. Nobody is talking about production. The country is not productive; that is why we are preoccupied with sharing. If we are productive, it will be very easy for Nigeria to grow and create jobs and do what others are doing.

Final Thoughts
Peter Obi is a good definition of an inspirational leader. His leadership style during his tenure as the Governor of Anambra State is a subject of leadership discussion, he has contributed immensely to the growth and development of Anambra State, Nigeria and Africa.

My PVC is ready for #OBIDATTI

Their candidate is only fighting for the position of Nigeria Twitter President

If you observe majority of his followers on nairaland are not campaigning for him but to abuse and curse other candidates.

Mind you they are doing so with their alternative moniker because they are afraid to come out publicly and after their candidate failed as projected they will go back to their normal BIAFRA or DEATH or calling Nigeria a zoo.

Just as your chimp of a human is fighting to become president of landlords association of Lagos State.

How many countries had Russia invaded in its history?
Edit: updated to bring this list up to date for 2022. This is not an answer I want to ever have to update again.

One complicating factor is that 'countries' is, to a certain degree, a modern notion that doesn't apply to well once you go back far enough in history, especially outside of Europe.

Also, since 'invasion' is a charged term, and one person's invasion is another's support (especially in modern wars), any list would have disputable inclusions. In particular, Russia has participated in one side of a foreign civil war numerous times, usually at the invitation (or 'invitation') of one side. For completeness, I'll put things that, in my reading of the history I don't consider 'invasions' in brackets, although it's not hard to find people who would disagree with my interpretation.

Finally, it's likely to be an incomplete list because I'll miss certain incidents, or that particular areas were controlled by such-and-such a country at a given point. Also, Russia invaded the same country repeatedly for long stretches of history (looking at you, Ottoman Empire), and I'm not going to mention every separate war.

For 'Russia," I'm including the Russian Federation, Soviet Union, Soviet Russia, Russian Empire/Tsardom, and Duchy of Moscow. Kievan Rus and the other city states of Dark Age Russia/Ukraine/East Slavic Lands I leave aside, since their connection to the modern nation of Russia is slightly more tenuous.

Russian Federation

Ukraine (2022)
[Syria]
Ukraine/Crimea (2014)
Georgia (allegedly on behalf of Abkhazia and South Ossetian govts, which Russia now recognizes as countries)
[Chechnya] - Chechnya declared independence from Russia, but that was largely not recognized
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Afghanistan
Czechoslovakia
[China] - border conflict over an island in the Amur river
Hungary
WW2:
[Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Finland, Norway, Korea, Japan, China] - Soviet forces fought their way into these countries from 1944-45, driving back occupying Axis troops and the local Axis-allied forces. After the war, the Soviet Union took territory from Germany, Japan Poland, Romania, and Hungary into the USSR's borders, and moved other borders around (some of the once-German, Polish, and Japanese territory is within Russia’s modern borders). Also invaded were the Baltic States and Moldova, which the Soviet Union considered its own territory at this point, whether or not the locals did; there was also fighting with anti-Soviet partisans within USSR borders, especially in Ukraine.
[Yugoslavia] - Soviet troops crossed this country as part of the war, but the local partisans, who had largely liberated the country, didn't let them stay and occupy.
Iran - invaded to provide a link to British forces in southern Iran
Finland 1940 - Winter War
Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania/Moldova - the territories the Soviet Union incorporated it into itself as a result of the Secret Protocols of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
Poland 1939 - also invaded under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
Poland 1919 - Polish-Soviet War
Soviet Russia

Transcaucasian Republic - a communist state that was temporarily independent of Moscow/Petrograd
[Various independent Ukrainian states/governments, none of which had been around long]
Russian Civil War
[various governments claiming to be 'White,' 'Monarchist' etc. Russia]
[Finland, the Baltic States, the Central Asian and Caucasus states, Tuva], all of which had varying strength independence movements to break out of the Russian Empire, which they had been part of before. Finland and the Baltic States managed to win independence.
Russian Empire

First World War
Germany - Russia launched the initial invasion of East Prussia, which ended in disaster at the Battle of Tannenberg. For the rest of the war, most of the German-Russian fighting would be on Russian territory
Austro-Hungary, Turkey - most of the war on these fronts was fought in Austro-Hungarian and Turkish territory
China
Several Central Asian states, including but not limited to Bukhara, Khiva, Kokand, Tuva
Persia
Various Caucasus territories, which never really reached the level of 'countries.' Chechnya and Dagestan are the most famous in the West, because of the writings of Tolstoy, Pushkin and Lermontov, but the deportation of the Circassians from the West Caucasus could be considered an early form of ethnic cleansing.
Ottoman Empire, many times (the wars are just identified by number or dates). Almost all the fighting took place in Ottoman territory in the Caucasus and Balkans.
[Hungary] - Russian troops attempted to assist Austrians in putting down a Hungarian uprising during the Spring of Nations in 1848
Napoleonic Wars
Over the course of the war, Russian forced invaded French-controlled territory in Italy, many German states, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France itself.
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (three times, the Partitions of Poland). Also, several times Russian troops crushed Polish-independence movements.
Alaska and California, at the time only held by Native American tribes
Siberia, at the time held by a variety of Tatar, Mongolic, Finno-Ugric and other groups/tribes/states.
(interestingly, there was an attempt to colonize Madagascar. Peter the Great died shortly after the expedition sailed, and the commander decided to return home to Russia rather than continue)
Sweden (particularly Swedish-held territory in modern Finland and Estonia and around St. Petersburg, as well as Polish territories as far south as modern Ukraine)
[Crimea] Catherine the Great's forces were invited in by local Crimean rulers, preferring St. Petersburg's rule to the Ottoman Porte.
[Georgia] the ruling house of Georgia voluntarily joined the Russian Empire. What other Georgians thought/think about it is a different issue
Duchy of Moscow

several successor states to the Golden (Mongol) Horde, including Kazan and Astrakhan
Other Russian duchies; the most powerful of these was Novgorod

Dvdpity:
How many countries have USA and her NATO vessels invaded? Barawo. Keep lying to your self.

Did you and yours have any idea how many countries Russia invaded?
