[quote author=Mr_Anony]Actually I know of an old illiterate woman in a church I attended when I was back in Enugu who only speaks Igbo and cannot speak a word of English but whenever she prays in tongues, she prophesies in English.

I have also heard the testimony of a muslim who came to Enugu for a conference and while the church was praying, a particular brother was praying in tongues and speaking in Hausa and this muslim (now ex-muslim) was listening to him and asking questions in his heart while the brother who was speaking in tongues was giving him direct answers to the thoughts in his heart. That is how the guy got saved from Islam and came to Christ. Mind you, the guy that was praying did not know how to speak Hausa at all.

I can tell you about the first day I spoke in tongues. I remember consciously trying not to speak but whenever I opened my mouth, the words came bubbling out. I remember going down on my knees and crying because I was a skeptic and it had only been about a few weeks since I came to the knowledge of Christ but the Holy Spirit chose to give me an experience that cleared all doubt for me.[/quote]blessed be brother.

What tha......??
Is this like a meet up zone for u and Vicky

Btw if u type a persons' name on Google, u simply get links to whatever site he's registered on.

You have a whole year to figure it out, take your time. If you still aren't sure after one year, demand more time. Don't let him push you into marrying him simply because his 'spirit' tells him u're right for him.
Take a trip down to Nigeria and meet his family, u need to get comfortable around them before u tie the knot if u eventually decide to....when you marry an igbo man, u marry his whole family.

I'm with Chronique on this.

honeric01: What exactly are you saying?

I'm saying religion like the OP suggests has nothing to do with blessing and curses in a union.
I'm saying whether the state recognises ur union as marriage or not the simple fact that you have both agreed to be together to raise children means u're as good as married.
I'm saying that being together outside wedlock does not attract blessings or curses unless you're a mismatch.

*unfollowing*

honeric01: Whatever the government does not recognize as marriage is not marriage, it's nothing but a "common union" which does not require any commitment from any of the party.

It's not different from sleeping with your numerous boyfriends/girlfriends and having babies everywhere.

these lifestyle have nothing in common with marriage.

the absence of legally binding commitment does not mean the absence of commitment. If it did then people would be free to have numerous boyfriends and fiancees would be free to sleep around with other men without their fiance getting angry since they aren't wedded yet.

You are committed when u decide to be. Legally getting married doesn't ensure that neither does it prevent people from being cheats.

Gimme enough cash to spoil myself and be transcontinental but make sure u're spending the night with me and I'm good

vivian chinaza: Nah, not me. Do I have a diary? Its between you, Vicky and DYT.

Not me either...didn't know he existed till d wooing thread.
U sure DYT has a diary? Never seen it before.
It'll be Vicky then.

Or maybe he's just tossing his net and hoping it'll catch one big fish

honeric01: Even pagan countries like China, Singapore e.t.c, they still conduct marriages and without official/government recognition, you're not married. you can decide to do it religiously or otherwise, but you must be recognized by the country before it can become legal.

The question of legality only comes to mind when/if there's a problem in the union that has to be settled by the law(esp with kids involvement) and for state record keeping. Other than that, a couple can be perfectly happy together without the involvement of the state.

[quote author=Mynd_44]Me is breathing well. Just down and this cold here ain't easing up[/quote]sorry love.

Lemme cook hot rice for all of u before ur bums freeze out.

Why is everyone attaching marriage to religion? If it's a traditional wine carrying that's done, vow before a priest, a ship captain, even between just two people promising to stay together for the rest of their live, it's all marriage.

Kick out religion and it's implications and u'll realise there's no curse or blessing attached to a union. Marriage is as good as a voluntary organisation or even a cooperative society, only it's got 2 members.

So long there's a common interest, understanding(including knowing d implications of their union), and emotional involvement between 2 people who have decided to live together and raise children, they are as good as married IMHO.

Now wonder why some marriages done the conventional way still fail?
There are basic general principles governing a union and some which are belief oriented, u break even the least one of them and ur marriage is as good as doomed.
