Why be a musician, was Jesus a musician?

Jesus Christ did not forbid marriage, forbidding marriage is satanic and a sign of perilous times. If you plan to live longer than 33years old, it is good for you to marry. Marriage i said, not girlfriend and boyfriend jokes.
Also if you want to follow Jesus, why not follow Him well like perform miracles, heal the sick, raise the dead, preach in all the cities and villages, live a holy and blameless life, feed the hungry etc. Don't just choose what is convenient for you and claim to be following Jesus Christ.

Marrying is a personal decision. Stop using the bible to outlaw it.

Besides, I am yet to see a gospel artist who doesn't sing for personal gains.

Wrong!

Jesus said:

"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15 (KJV)

@Iamdbull you have a valid point.

Many of the top prophets and apostles never married, for instance, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, John the Baptist, John and James, Paul etc.

Even some that married had to leave marriage and their family behind for a greater cause like Moses and Peter.

Jesus Himself who didn't marry also said that there are those have left marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of God. Matthew 19:12

Apostle Paul also gave this advice to those who were yet single, but unfortunately it's the part of his writings that many so-called Christians choose to turn a blind eye to.

So your thoughts are not out of place. Just pray for God to lead you to make the right decisions, because it's important you make decisions in line with His plans for you.

By the way, nice mission you've got right there.

God bless.

Marriage is a choice and not a law

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

What do you mean by forbidding marriage or are you trying to use that phrase to justify your the inclinations of your flesh?

Did Jesus forbid marriage by not marrying and advising men that could leave marriage for the sake of God's kingdom not to marry?

Matthew 19:12 (KJV)

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Did Paul forbid marriage by not marrying and advising the unmarried not to marry?

1 Corinthians 7:8 (KJV)

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

Or are you saying that their advise to believers was satanic and a sign of the perilous times?

Later you'd claim knowledge and want to teach someone else.

Even from Paul you haven't learnt, but just follow his teachings that appeal to your flesh.

Mat 19:10 KJV His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

1Co 7:6 KJV But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
1Co 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
1Co 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

You will receive sense even if it is slightly in Jesus mighty name.

Receive sense from nonsense?

You've not made any sense but just confirmed what I said.

Jesus advised those who could, not to marry. Paul did same, but here you're going all over the place in the name of your flesh, condemning those who are considering taking their advice that it is satanic, and yet quoting their saying that it's okay in contradiction.

Nobody is against marriage but you seem to have something personal against not marrying, but using one "forbidding marriage' idea you got from one place to push it.

Iamdbull:
Why marry when Jesus is my role model, am I on the right path?

In Matthew 19 , Jesus Christ, the one who say is your role model, explained to us that God made marriage a choice for individuals to make so there is no right path or wrong path as far as marriage is concerned.

8 Jesus answered, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God’s teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning. 9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, and marries another woman is guilty of adultery.”

10 The followers said to Jesus, “If that is the only reason a man can divorce his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 He answered, “This statement is true for some, but not for everyone—only for those who have been given this gift.
12 There are different reasons why some men don’t marry. Some were born without the ability to produce children. Others were made that way later in life. And others have given up marriage because of God’s kingdom. This is for anyone who is able to accept it.” - Mattthew 19 vs 8 - 12

These things are not set in stone for all. And you have your entire life to decide what you want to do.

Iamdbull:

Why marry when Jesus is my role model, am I on the right path?

Getting married or not is strictly a personal choice.

And no, you can't use Jesus as a role model in this regard because He is not against marriage. In fact, He was the One who established the marriage institution as the "Word" (Genesis 2:22-25, John 1:1). Perhaps it may interest you to know that Jesus was once married and that marriage ended in divorce (Jeremiah 3:8 ). And as we speak, Jesus has another bride waiting for His arrival (Revelation 19:7, Hosea 2:16).

There's nothing wrong if you choose to remained unmarried, that's if you can bear it (Matthew 19:12). But of course, it is advisable for you to get married if you lack the necessary self-control. It is better to marry than to burn with lust (1 Corinthians 7:9).

The choice is yours.

i quoted Bible verses which you referred to as nonsense, unsurprisingly. BTW, 1Timothy 4v3 is not "one place", it is the Bible.
A young boy is asking "Why marry when Jesus is my role model". i showed him clearly that being a follower of Jesus does not stop you from marriage. You came up and started teaching that he has a valid point and that top prophets and apostles never married. Evidently, the Bible teaches that those are very rare and personal decisions, not general like you are validating. Learn to rightly divide the Word of truth. What am i even saying, i'm going right over your syllabus already. Go back to Calvary, you need an urgent dip, you are blind and full of your self and don't have anyone to tell you.

You quoted the Bible but made nonsense of it just like the Pharisees and also devil does, so do not think that you can hide your errors behind quoting of the Bible.

Even the "forbidding marriage" is not in the context you're making it to be, because it doesn't mean not wanting to marry for a good cause as Jesus and Paul had advised but for the wrong reasons like having sex outside of marriage.

The question the young man asked is a very good and selfless one which shows someone who has God's interest at heart. It's the same kind of question some of Jesus' disciples like Paul who were very passionate about God asked before making the decision to leave marriage for His Kingdom sake.

It's a very good thing to desire to follow Jesus' example or at least to see why He would do the things He did, to see if they were worthy of emulation.

Unfortunately someone like you who reasons like your self-driven mentors wouldn't be able see the beauty and quality in his question, but want to make him feel bad as though it was a bad thing to try to emulate Jesus because of what you call "forbidding marriage". Would you have any issue if he wanted to emulate Oyedepo by marrying?

The Bible doesn't teach that those are wrong decisions, but that they are advisable and worthy of emulation as Jesus and Paul proved. It's only rare because it is sacrificial and most men are not willing to make such sacrificial decisions for God. They are inclined to do things for there own self and marriage is mostly a self-centred decision. People hardly marry for God.

Most of the disciples of Jesus never married. Even those who married as Peter had to forsake their marriage. When it gets hot in the things of God, things like marriage become very secondary.

It's only people like you who have little or no love for God, that would consider someone who encourages and challenges people to give God quality just as He did when He gave His Son, and not settle for spiritual mediocrity, to be full of himself, so I'd take that as a compliment. Thank you very much.

You don't divide God's Word from a selfish, sentimental, egoistic point of view, otherwise you're bound to misinterpret it as you're doing.

Is your plan to also end your hell if your pastor ends up there too?

Jesus Christ said if your right hand causes you to sin , cut it off ... - Matthew 5 vs 28 - 32. if marriage will cause you to sin against God or dishonor Him by your living in submission to God's judgment against man from beginning - Genesis 3 vs 16 - 19 - isn't it better not to marry at all than to deceive yourself in vain believing you will one day grace the presence of the Almighty?

P.S. Only those who live above the curse God placed man under from the time of Adam - Genesis 3 vs 16 - 19 - will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

You sound like the Antichrist and sexist oppressors of women, the Pharisees, so you can say whatever but do not expect me to dignify you with a response.

Someone wants to follow Jesus' example and advise but you want to discourage him because you're obviously not of God but just a lip server.

Maybe he should have said he wanted to follow the example of your own role model and marry so you should have supported him.

Lol, is it not comical to watch your open hypocrisy? Can you imagine what you are saying? So telling someone who calls himself Bull to go and marry is to sound like the Antichrist and oppressor of women? Jesus BTW has a Bride which is the church. And marriage is likened to the relationship between Jesus Christ and the Church. You may want to brush up on Revelations 19 and 21 . Jesus Christ clearly said being a Eunuch was for few that it was given, not for people dying with lust and trying to focus. An eunuch will not come here and be asking whether to marry, he knows what he has been given. Stop being a false teacher, hypocrite. Were you not the one having wet dream the other day about a certain "Lordreed" moniker? Are you married? Are you planning to get married? Watch him scamper for safety and shame out of pride. His marriage plans is what is holy or mysteries of the kingdom that we might not understand. Clown.

Keep laughing but the jokes on you because you didn't tell him to go and marry, but called his passion for Christ which is likened to that of many disciples of Christ, including Paul, satanic and a sign of the end times, to confirm that your intentions are Antichrist and not of God.

Here you go confusing a "spiritual bride" and "physical bride" to confirm how bereft you were of true knowledge. Jesus was a mortal man but didn't have a physical bride so stop trying to use Him to justify the inclinations of your own flesh. He's one of those that was made eunuch for the sake of the Kingdom of God just as John the baptist and many others. Moreover, those of the church which are called His bride also marry physically but He didn't so you have no case.

Jesus never said there were few, but that not all men could receive that saying, so don't lie by saying what Jesus never said to save yourself from falling into the pit you dug for yourself. Moreover, many are called but few chosen, so even if they were few, the chosen are also few, but the majority of the few chosen ones who walked with Jesus became eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of God as Jesus had advised them to do if they could.

"He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." Matthew 19:12

Not surprised that's what you could make of that dream which i emerged victorious over the temptations of the devil which I shared here, because your heart is filled with so much filth, hence out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

When I first had a conversation with you here on NL, with my previous jesusjnr moniker, where you spoke of Eve having sex with the serpent, I thought it was an aberration, but now it's been confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt, that your mind is sexually polluted and you're nothing but a full blown sexist that has little or no regard for women.

You're no different from the sexists, hypocrites and Antichrists, the Pharisees, against whom Jesus severally defended the woman, so do not be surprised that I'm doing same to you.
