Ochhie: Hmm! Na wa o!!!
No doubt d bible is a guide and also the word of God. If it isn't then whose word is it?

It's an account of things that happened. it isn't anyone's words per se.

I read a story about a woman who was at the point of death. God restored her and promised her more years. she then had a face uplift, liposuction, tummy tuck and other adjustment. she died after all these by an ambulance. she got to heaven and told God about his promise. God told her it's probably because He didn't recognize her.
It is just a story though, I doubt if anyone can see all these. but is it a sin to have a plastic surgery?

iamSi: Deuteronomy 24:1-4 _ Please read that aloud and let me know what you think

you seem like a Jew to me. Don't you know you have to back up whatever doctrine of the old testament with the new. Jesus said Moses said that because of the hardness of the hearts of the people. GOD HATES DIVORCE.

Donpoker9: lol im d 4 bible na

I don't understand still....

iamSi: Then you should know its never a sin _ you need not to be told

it is. read your bible well. In Malachi, God said He hates divorce, Jesus said do not divorce expect for fornication (between two unmarried people read the story of Joseph and Mary), Paul said don't do it.

ednut1: Christianity nd confusion dey go hand in hand

it's confusion to those who lack knowledge.

iamSi: Have you completed reading the whole bible yet?

yeah yeah.... what's your point?

Patience - love passive (no hurry; suffers long vs.4,7)
Kindness - love in action (never acts rashly or insolently; not inconsistent, puffed up or proud vs. 4)
Generosity - love in competition (not envious or jealous v. 4)

Unselfishness - love in essence (never selfish, sour, or bitter; does not retaliate or seek revenge v. 5)
Good temper - love in disposition (never irritated; never resentful v. 5)
Righteousness - love in conduct (hates sin; never glad when others go wrong; slow to expose; eager to believe the best; gladdened by goodness to others; always hopeful and enduring v. 6-7)
Sincerity - love in profession (never boastful; and conceited; leaves no impression but what is strictly true; never self-assertive; does not blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs; always just, joyful, and truthful; knows how to be silent; full of trust; always present.)
curled from I cor. 13 4-7

Jesus said it's wrong, Paul said it too, God also said that he hates divorce. Christians should not do it but some pastors and denomination encourage it and even remarry some of the divorcees.

People say Sabbath should be the Christian day of worship, Sunday. but Sabbath is majorly used among the Jews.

where you get that one from now? so precise, 7 times a day. Tell me abeg.

If He gets paid it isn't bad. Pastors get paid na. His condition deserves attention, your church should pay you so you don't starve jare. what you're doing is good though but your church needs to help you. speak to them.

It's the truth, take it or leave it. No where in the Bible did Jesus or the apostle say the scriptures is the Word of God, it's just an account. JESUS IS THE WORD.

that's what you believe. I believe in Jesus and obey him, i'll make heaven.

What! We all were born sinners and through Christ we are redeemed. homosexuality is a sin just as fornication is and what makes us quit doing those things is our knowledge of Christ and the Holy Spirit in us. Gay peeps are just looking for an excuse to dwell in sin. Why don't I say I was born a fornicator and so I can't stop? We've got to die to self bro. For all have sinned and come short............but shall we continue in sin for grace to abound? no!!!!!!!!!! Homosexuality ain't different.

^You fail to understand. The Bible is a guide and shouldn't be altered. you must study it, meditate on it so you don't miss your path. Jesus is the Word of God, nothing or no one is. You simply lack understanding.

You quoted majorly from your catholic indoctrinated Bible. Purgatory is an excuse to sin and not a biblical doctrine. What nonsense! Mention the place in the Bible where Jesus or anyone said when one dies you go to one place where you'll be punished. AFTER DEATH IS JUDGEMENT. take it or leave it don't twist it.

The Book of John 1:1 say Jesus is the Word and Rev. 19:13 says that too. The Apostles referred to it as the scriptures and not the word of God. I believe the Bible is a guide and a guide must be studied thoroughly so you don't miss the way. the bible must be studied so that Christians won't miss the narrow path but it's not the Word of God. the bible is also said to be Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

Ukuts gp: i dnt know why u are dancing back and forth.

I said I failed to include it. so it wasn't only a jewish custom. and you also fail to tell me what you understand by vs. 16 of that chapter

Ukuts gp: u dnt know what u are saying. U really hv the nerves to say d bible is nt the word of God? U really amaze me.

You failed to read my explanation. The Bible is a guide, the Apostles referred to it as the scriptures not the word of God. Jesus is the Word of God, read Rev. 19:13, John 1:1. The Bible is a guide which must be studied and understood by Christians cause if you fail to read a guide, you'll miss your route. So our route as Christians is the narrow path to heaven, if you do not study your guide, you'll find your self in the broad way.....

NeoTesla: No offense, but you're wrong. The book of Corinthians was written to the church in Corinth, a Gentile region. This has nothing to do with Jews. If it did, Paul would be a hypocrite by asking them to ignore calls for circumcision, and at the same time telling them to obey some other Jewish custom (head covering as you claim). Head covering is a statement about authority, which we all know is in conflict with feminist thought.

it was also a custom among the Greeks, Romans, the Eastern nations and some other nations. sorry I failed to include that.
Did you fail to read vs. 16?

Idowuogbo: October, baby!!!

yeah yeah, #teamOctober

beckkyjackky: I wonder y ladies would nt respect God

don't you pray in your car or place of work or before writing a crucial test or exam, do you always cover your hair? not covering your head doesn't mean you don't respect God, We disrespect him in actions and deeds.

Iceman296: No matter the Point we Both View this, One thing is Certain between us.

We Both Don't Support it.

yeah.

Iceman296: Christains Who accept do that On their own Accord. Who are these Homosexuals? Are they Not Christians too? Dont they go to Church like Every other Human? The Only thing is that their Choice of Partner are Different. Like i said, Religion Does not Have a Say in Homosexuality. Society Does!

religion has a say in it also. we shouldn't drag this cause we aren't viewing this from the same point and it's quite too early to derail the thread.

Iceman296: Okay. I Guess you are Christian that's why. Homosexuality don't have any Business with Religion, Its a Psychological Disorder that's Caused by Ones Environment. It has to with Culture and Societal Acceptance. Will you say USA ain't a Christian or Multi Religious Country? No But Its Accepted There. In Nigeria, Its Rejected Because of Our Culture. High Moral Culture!!

if you say so. I'm not against it. guess I should be more proud of my continent. but the Bible serves as a check for Christians who accept it.

ravgach: I now know where your loyalty lies. End of discussion. Thank you.

don't misunderstand me. it's a guide and you must follow and study a guide so as not to miss the way. it is also known as basic instructions before leaving earth.

[quote author=ravgach]

ravgach: That is exactly the challenge of the 'worldly' Christian. The Word of God does NOT change with circumstance. God said He honors His words above his Name. God does not change. He has advised us not to middle with those that a given to change. Proverbs 24:21

Don't forget that covering is a doctrine not a direct command so it can change depending on the people invovled. And the Bible isn't the Word of God, Jesus is. Bible to me is only a guide which contains some things God said.

Iceman296: I don't Need to, Because No religion would Accept Homosexuals. They Can Only Thrive in Climes Morally Inept. So Don't Single Out Christianity!

the reason, I singled out Christianity is because we all could relate to the bible. and there is no solid base for morality in an heterogeneous country like Nigeria.

ravgach: You only misinterpreted one of the clearest scriptures I have ever read! We should always cross-check what we hold on to especially if that is a command of God so we do not think we are in the race when we have been disqualified from the start.

Did you read I cor. 11:16? that's where i'm coming from. I did not misinterpret, I only read and understood what you couldn't.
