Doctordan:Do you know why I'm tackling you? There's been too much noise about sex, such that many people forget about other sins, and tend to believe they're not doing badly if they don't commit fornication/adultery. You will see churches suspending people because of extramarital sex, but don't even notice when others tell lies, hold malice/grudges, exhibit covetousness, etc. When they brought the adulterous woman to Jesus, He said "he that has not sinned should be the first to cast stone", didn't say he that has not committed adultery. There's no big or small sin before God. But today, we're repeating what those people did - bringing the adulterous to public justice, while we forget we're equally guilty in so many ways. |
Doctordan:Name calling abi. Doctordan:Bible didn't mention condom because it wasn't existing in that time or space. There's also no related cases we can use as yardstick. So you can't make any authoritative assertions about it. So I pointed out some facts about it that may or may not indicate any covenant between the duo. The bible did not also say sex is deeper and powerful as you claim so authoritatively. This is where I fault you. Don't create doctrines out of matters that the bible did not expressly talk about. That is what Pharisees do. This is what happens when you dogmatically take what a "religious leader" said out of respect, because you think they are infallible. And that implies that you don't prove their messages against the scriptures. Which means you don't have independence of thought when it comes to your spiritual life. Wake up. |
Doctordan:How did you know that? You keep saying the same thing without reference to any scripture. No one will mark your words oga, they don't hold any weight without the Bible. |
Moswrite:Try this in UK and let your school know. You will be expelled and your student visa will be cancelled. You will be back in Naija within 60 days. |
Pious101:Thank you oo. |
DesChyko:Academic assignments are research based. It should be YOUR OWN original work. Of course you're allowed to quote other people or use captions with appropriate permissions. But for you to pay someone to do it for you (except for data entry field work), it is plagiarism that will land you an automatic expulsion in developed countries. |
spafu:Yes it is. Plagiarism - simple put. |
Wise people working in London don't live there. Apart from the high bills and expenses, it is not a place to bring up a child. Unless you're VERY rich. If you're earning £60k in London, your available income (after all bills) is the same as someone earning £30k in the Midlands. Why would you want to suffer yourself cramped in London? |
chieveboy:Now I think you're a Jedi. Lol. There's a cost for everything in this life. You give something to get back another thing. Knowledge is not exempt. And if you look well, you'll see that the happiest people are the most ignorant people. They just catch their fun without thinking. But with knowledge, you begin to measure everything. |
muyico:You are supposed to use your sense and take the message of the current reality. The fact that he laid the foundation doesn't mean we don't have problems today that must be tackled ASAP. And that is what you should be thinking. |
Doctordan:Truth according to who? Tell us where that is written in the Bible. If you can't just keep quiet. If you're indeed a Christian, you will know better than to make claims when the bible did not say so. I acknowledge the message here - no sex outside of marriage - simple. But to start "adding" things to the scriptures - God did not send you to do that. |
Doctordan:"The two shall become one flesh" - may be misinterpreted. This could just mean the zygote that is formed when the sperm meets the egg. Else if you're indeed one flesh with your wife, why don't you have malaria when she does? Why don't you feel the same pain at the same time as your partner? Using a condom means there's no exchange of body fluids or DNA. There needs to be a contact for any transaction (or covenant) to be made. What you said (bolded), the Bible didn't say that. This is not to say extramarital sex is not a sin. It is sin in every way. But we shouldn't quote bible out of context to buttress a point and create fear. We should start "dividing word of truth carefully" and not just quote Bible inaccurately, even if we're making a valid point. |
One, the Bible didn't say that. That is the absolute standard for any Christian teaching today. Two, what if he used condom and the blood didn't touch him at all? Three, what consequences? What if she's child of God with no demonic presence around her? Let's focus on teaching the gospel and leave these matters. The Holy Spirit will lead you to say and do good things. |
chieveboy:Everything you said here is based on your religious convictions, be it organised religion or a societal body. I don't know which, but you sound like Eck. Religion is just light (God) passing through a prism (man), manifesting in many colours. Either way, you've quoted me out of context. I'm not talking about running mad, or becoming spiritually imbalanced. I'm talking about the humility, self and environmental awareness that comes with deep knowledge. How you manage that is the fine line between "enlightened"and "insane". The "balancing principle" you mentioned is simply put - limiting your depth of knowledge. And if you wanna know, the things we enjoy in this life are all vanity, intangible, elusive, surreal.... None of it is real. When you come to this reality, you got two options - the blue pill or the red pill. I've never met anyone who chose red in person. Time itself is a dimension like length and width. There's always a starting point and an endpoint from the perspective of the observer. |
chieveboy:There is a price for knowledge. It's like suddenly waking up from the matrix. Everything you once loved and cherished, all the things you enjoyed will turn to nonsense and ashes in your eyes. You will never see this world the same again. It might look trivial, but the people around you will notice your disconnect from "their reality". Most people think deep knowledge will make them more successful in this world, but the more they know, the less everything in this world will mean to them. Really, just enjoy your life and look forward to the last day, when all crooked things would be made straight. I'm not suggesting the "Christianity" you know through the churches. Christ's message is almost something else entirely. I don't know how wide you've seen. But if you have, you'd agree every major religion made mention of Jesus Christ (called different names). |
Kobojunkie:Na trouble you dey find. I've got none to give you sorry. Choose another target. |
Kobojunkie:Easy put: you will abandon their teachings and start afresh with the Bible. |
chieveboy:There's a lot of knowledge in the Bible. But even as a Christian, I will tell you it is not comprehensive enough, even for deep spiritual knowledge and mysteries. But what I'd say is that, live your life with a pure heart towards people, with deep reverence to the maker of the heaven and earth, his son and spirit. At the end of everything, all the hidden knowledge will become plain sight. |
Simply put - senior demons who ruled the Persian kingdom. Today, every country has a prince ruling over it spiritually. Not just countries - states/provinces, regions, continents, etc These princes are responsible for immorality, poverty, terrorism, sexual perversion, corruption, street violence, epidemics, mass deaths, etc. - making people suffer and lose divine consciousness. This is why every country has a certain societal problem that rages on. When you sell your soul to the devil, the princes give you wealth in exchange for propagating their wishes through your music or movies. When Jesus said He has given us the authority to overcome all the powers of the enemy, He was telling us we would rise above the influence of these princes in our world. This is how it works. |
Let's also not forget it was the religious leaders of that time that insisted he must be killed. Those who "knew" the scriptures. This is equivalent to the senior pastor's and G.Os of today, who will vehemently fight anyone who questions their teachings. |
A cheque can certainly be honoured so far it is still intact, the issuer has not stopped it, and there's sufficient money in the account. |
Only those in Africa, middle east and Egypt. That being said, every human will perceive a spiritual entity based on the likeness he/she is familiar with. It's that simple. |
Most Christians don't know what they're made up of. When you start looking up to fellow goofy humans (pastors, priests, prophets), you will lose that divine touch of the Spirit. |
Likely a mixed race of people. |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Sure! There's more to these crashes that meets the eyes. Some have theorised links with those UFO sightings late last year. |
helinues:No. We just have new names for terrorism - banditry, Herdsmen attacks, kidnapping! They rebased GDP growth the same way they rebased terrorism criteria. |
immortalcrown:Anything you believe. But if you read the scriptures very carefully, with an objective mind, you'll see that our churches have totally derailed, especially in Nigeria. And if you're indeed a Christian, you will not be contributing to that derailment because you don't want to "neglect the meetings". |
immortalcrown:1. Use your judgement (as led by the Spirit). Approach it on case by case basis. 2. Nothing in the post says the poster does not join with his family members. 3. Nothing in the post says the poster will not now or later find other forms of fellowship. You speak like someone without independence of thought. Symptoms of people who never took time to understand the scriptures beyond what pastors told them. The truth of the gospel should set you free, not put you in the bondage of what we call "church" that strings you with fear and guilt. |
immortalcrown:That scripture is not a commandment but an advice. And nothing in the scriptures says it must be a weekly meeting, or Sunday, or a place called "church". As a matter of fact, it could just be a gathering of extended family and friends, or neighbours, all who are believers. |
Which kind crown be dis, wey look like England own? Culturally, I don't think this is appropriate. |
You would have been a good president though. Better than Tinubu, Atiku, Obi and the rest. |
Quick delivery, smooth communication, great price... Publication done within 24 hours! It is rare to find people like this, who will do your job straight to the point - no stories, no delays. I got his number from this very thread, and I can tell you all the positive reviews are true and very real. I totally recommend Mr Samuel! |
