Some Scriptures People Use Wrongly To Justify Themselves by Nobody: 10:19pm On Oct 10, 2015
Scriptures people use wrongly to justify themselves

Thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for His mercy.
Many at times, we use these Scriptures as we joke around or out of ignorance but God isn't too mad at us, I pray cheesy

If you grew up in a church environment like me, you will definitely hear most of these;



1. By the Grace of God

These days, that phrase has lost his meaning. See:
A: Are you coming today?
B: By His grace.
A: Oh boy, try come abeg! Money dey wait for you.
B: ohhh! When make I come? I dey come now sef!
A: The money na by the Grace you go take collect am.

So many, insulting the Grace of God anyhow sha.
It's like saying, No! Is the Grace not enough again?


2. Silver and gold have I none, such as I have... Or My Widow's mite

Somebody go come your party or house, make him give Big. He'll say, "Let's give our widow's mite". Oga, you ain't a widow, c'mon! A widower gives Big! Unless your widow's mite beat my expectation o!


3. Paul told Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach

Hmm! I'm sure you've either heard or used that. Besides, Timo had a stomach ish as a teenager. Do you have a stomach problem?


4. Man shall not live by bread alone...you can add beans or rice.

When they want do all manner of food combination and misappropriation! Wetin I dey speak gan?


5. God rested after making man and other animals BUT after making woman, He hasn't rested till now!

Haha! This one sha! E get as e get! lipsrsealed


6. Solomon had many wives; 700 housewives, 300 side chicks.

No please, 700 wives, 300 concubines. Besides, he was a king. In those days, kings do it as we even see today. Side chicks aren't allowed in marriage.



7. I love fair ladies because Abraham loved fair women, Isaac the same, Jacob served 14 years for one and even David too...Who am I? Hope na there e end?


Hope your affection is only towards the fairness and not on the other sides?


8. Seeing a heavily endowed girl and saying, "Sister, you are Wonderfully and Fearfully made" God, took 6 days to make only you!

Okay, toasting lines in a coded format. The message is passed.


9. It is well, even in the well

Yea, I use this but with an understanding. Some use it just to end their statements or dodge a very vital question: Who took this money? He says, it's well. It is not o...after you pay back, it will be well.


Christianity is fun joor FROM Atlanta to Ajegunle...
Hope to see you in church tomorrow...Happy Sunday Y'all cheesy

Live, Love and Laugh grin


You can add more...

A) The 'Judge not, so you wont be judged' crew. I smh@ them cos they hide very comfortably behind this verse. Need i remind that Paul commanded blindness on that elymas? The 'judge' this crew claim however is that you should mind your own business.

'abi na you holy pass?' is the phrase they use to win their case.


B) old things have passed away, all things become new.


The 'new testament' crew use this passage to so much prove that the old testament is 'highly' irrelevant. Their Pastors are usually the source for this stance, i've observed. Its so viral that to read about the endtime in Daniel's account or why God hates sin (the prophets are proof). But e sweet them to use Elijah's Mt Carmel duel to spark 'Holy exhilaration' amongst members. Devil dey writhe in pains of mockery!


C) Peter's vision at Simon the Tanner's Rooftop. 'what God has cleansed, let no man call unclean'. Many use it to justify why they must eat any thing that has flesh. From lizard to bats... Smh. Peter explained this vision in the presence of Cornelius, but as usual, the 'a' part of a verse, scripture is taken for misuse, and the 'b' part is cut out. Babylon(confusion)!! grin

bible DON make some people kolo.

imagine some justifying alcohol cos David played "Harp "to Solomon when he's possessed by the evil spirit.
Re: Some Scriptures People Use Wrongly To Justify Themselves by Nobody: 7:39am On Oct 11, 2015
I find the post Burgess on Religion fanatism.

The OP in one way mentioned God resting day.The truth we fail to understand is God rested the seventh day not repeatedly but once. He continues his work after the days of recreation and that is why Christ said my Father is still working. If you work seven days nothing do you it's for the better day.

Well I have much to say,but since this thread is mean't to entertain people there is no need of me imparting knowledge here.
