Your Emotions or God's Principles in Choosing a Partner?



The God of the Israelites made it very clear to the Children of Israel that they should not get married to anyone outside of the tribe of Israel. Reading from Deuteronomy 7:3 & 4, “Nor shall you make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to their son, nor take their daughter for your son. For they will turn your sons away from following Me, to serve other gods; so the anger of the Lord will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly.” This is as simple and clear as possible. The reason why God does not want them to marry anyone outside of the nation of Israel is in verse 4 of Deuteronomy 7. Read it again to really understand why. Mind you, this was during the Old Testament times before the time of Jesus Christ. The same scenario also applies to us today in this Modern Day and Age that we’re living in. As Christians (specifically Seventh Day Adventist since I’m a Seventh Day Adventist), we as in youths who are not married yet, must marry someone within the context of our faith within Christianity and not an unbeliever or Non-Christian (someone outside of our faith). Marrying someone outside of our faith within Christianity can lead to us not following Christ considering Deuteronomy 7:3 & 4. Marrying someone within our faith as Christians will help us to follow Jesus Christ and The Holy Bible since both individuals will be of one mind and faith valuing the same thing, which is follow Jesus Christ the same Way in John 14:6 Who is the only Way. When we follow the Way in John 14:6, we are “BLESSED!” For more information about blessing, click the following link; https://peterjnrbebi.blogspot.com/2018/01/blessing.html?m=1



As an example of the difficulties we young people face in doing the right thing, I’ll share a personal testimony. I normally do an analysis similar to the recruitment process how HR do in any organization. Photos below this paragraph are some examples of what I do to the woman I’m in a relationship with for analysis before “sealing the deal” or “signing the contract” metaphorically speaking. For more information into why I do this, click the following link;  https://peterjnrbebi.blogspot.com/2019/05/finding-your-other-half-finding-right.html?m=1
  I previous had a girlfriend by the name of Teinei Arofa from Tikopia Polynesia island in the Solomon Islands in which I broke up with her sometimes around December 5th to 6th 2019 days before our company Christmas party (my Christmas gift πŸ˜‚). Everything about her was so pleasing and so good. She’s a netball representative of the Solomon Islands netball team (she came in the previous South Pacific Games in PNG), she seems to love Papua New Guinea but taking precaution due to our violent way of life, she’s 34 years old which is 6 years older than me, has soft black hair, light skin, willing and talked about venturing into marriage, desires having only 1 or two kids, really rooted in her conviction, and finally from the Kingdom Harvest Church. Everything was fine, accept the fact that she doesn’t wanna “BOW” (what she said) to me and my denomination as an SDA (which was the only thing I asked of her to do for me to be really happy). I really liked her but because of this reason, I had to break up my relationship with her around December 2019 due to the fact that I believe that things won’t work out in the future (I might be tempted to go to her church as a reason to play soccer on Sabbath)-even she agreed that our relationship won’t work. Anyways, I really thought I could help assist to convert her into an SDA with the help of The Holy Spirit due to the fact that I liked her but I guess I was wrong… My point is that it is better to end the relationship than to continue out of selfish reasons without True Love in It.

Secondly on the other hand, what about those of us who really are so called fall in love with someone outside of our faith in Christianity? Let’ go back to The Holy Bible to help us answer this question. 1 Corinthians 7:1 & 2 reads, “Now concerning the things you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.” Here we clearly see that we do have a choice as a human being to either get married or not-to get married to someone who is of the same faith as we are or not! All in all, let’s not forget what instructions God would want of us to choose in Deuteronomy 7:3 & 4.


Thirdly, what about those of us who are already married to someone who is not of the same faith within Christianity as we are? Well our answer to that question is found with 1 Corinthians 7:10-16. I will not spoon feed you, please open your Holy Bible to the above verses to find the answer…


Finally, we must come to understand that we are blessed when we follow Christ and cursed when we choose not to follow him. The end deliverable of choosing to follow Christ is the eternal life in John 3:16 while the end deliverable of choosing not to follow Christ is the Wages of sin in Romans 6:23! Choose at your own will since only you yourself will reap the consequences to your own choices-eternal life or the wages of sin for you is determined by your own personal choice! Choose God’s Principles within The Holy Bible and not your emotions!

Parenting A Huge Responsibility



We are all God's children! God created the first man in Genesis 2:7 from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life and man became a living soul. Or in other words,  the first man's DNA is actually the dust of this earth and God's breath of life. Life here is none other than the Life in John 14:6-Jesus Christ Himself! So we in the state of a living human being (our DNA), are part of this earth and part of Christ. Thus explaining the fact that even though this earth did not commit any sin,  it was cursed because of mankind's disobedience clearly stated in Genesis 3:17-19-even though Jesus Christ never commited any sin,  he had to take on the wages of mankind's sin on our behalf all because we are part of Him: He even told the first man and woman in metaphor in Genesis 3:15! This clearly explains why Christ had to come,  show us the right way (when He is the Way in John 14:6) to eternal life as our perfect example and role model,  and died for us all because we are part of Him, His family,  and His responsibility (created in His Image in Genesis 1:27)!

All children are a blessing from God considering Psalms 127:3! Apart from the fact that all children are a gift and blessing from God to their parents whether biological or adopted,  children are also a responsibility to their parents and guardians! Parents and guardians not only have to take care and raise their children but train them up in the way they should grow considering Proverbs 22:6! Or in other words,  children are a dangerous tool called "Human Resource!" You can train them,  mold them and teach them to become soccer stars,  guitarists, etc... Within this responsibility of parenting,  the middle core of it all is "Disciple making!"

The core responsibility of parenting is disciple making! It is important for parents and guardians to understand that they are not responsible of some tangible or intangible asset,  they are responsible of human beings/ living souls. Therefore, what they input into the child's development is important in determining the child's future in terms of eternal life in John 3:16 or the wages of sin in Romans 6:23! This means that the core or most important part of the parents and guardians responsibility over the child is molding them to become disciples and followers of Jesus Christ! Parents and guardians are to train up and teach their children God's Word to us The Holy Bible!

Therefore,  it is important for us (especially young people who are not married yet and do not have kids yet) to really think critically about the responsibility of parenting before venturing into parenting! Parenting is a huge responsibility and within it,  is the disciple making aspect of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The parents and guardians are not responsible of a tangible or intangible asset but are responsible of another living soul/ living human being. Their responsibility plays a huge role in determining the child's (soul's) salvation from the wages of sin in Romans 6:23!


Finding Your Other Half: Finding The Right Partner



Let's start with a personal testimony of mine. When it comes to romantic relationships,  I totally suck. Back in high school there was this girl from a mix parentage of Madang and Aroma in which I kind of really like or fell in love with the idea of her,  in which I frozed,  panic all inward-outward,  and never got to ask her out,  in which my best friend Nevil John asked her out and ventured into a relationship with,  in which got me heart broken silently while never wanting to fall in love with someone again. This was my weakness which is sort of a disease! Every girl that I really really like,  I always froze up and panic to ask them out. Never really had a girl friend for more than one year. Every girl that I became friends with are basically from those random chemistry reaction in getting to know someone first before being in a relationship with them ever since 2010 upwards... Or basically just passing time with someone so that my friends won't consider me a looser,  in which I felt nothing anchor ed inside. My first friend was from small Buka and is cousin to a senior of mine in Lae City Mission Hostel. I dumped her after months of calling,  texting and passing time,  in which afterwards,  I never really felt anything inside my heart-even up until today,  I still think this was the right thing to do! Furthermore,  I've being doing that to the so called friends I come accross in life simply because I do not feel anything within. I always end up being friends to woman I don't like while finding it hard to be with the ones I really really like from within and outwards. This is the story of my life. Furthermore,  I still am searching for this right partner in which God created her to be my other half,  however if its according to God's perfect will for me to be alone than so be it.



Finding the right partner in a romantic relationship is very important compared to how HR managers initiate the recruitment process of hiring the right new employees for the job vacancies. See,  these job applicants in a recruitment process must have the qualifications and experience meeting the job requirments and specification,  you cannot just hire someone randomly off the streets-the success of your organization in terms of profit or loss will be determined by the people you hire. Metaphorically speaking,  this is similar to finding the right partner for a life time.


What insights into this issue will we find within The Holy Bible? Well firstly lets take a closer look at Genesis 2:21-24 to draw some important lessons out of;
- the woman was created out of the man's rib indicating that she is part of the man,
- Adam upon seeing her concluded that she was created or meant to be with him in verse 23,
-Adam named her woman.
-God Who is Love in 1 John 4:8 is the bridge or connection between the woman and the man since God brought the woman to the man,

On the other hand,  we see Paul's advice in 1 Corinthians 7! According to Paul,  it is better for a man not to get married,  however,  if filled with the desire than so be it. Here Paul is trying to stress the responsibility within the boundage of marriage in which we all must consider very carfully before veturing into it.

To conclude,  not all man and woman are meant to get married according to God's perfect will. People like Paul and even Jesus Christ never got married because the responsibility of their purpose of being in this earth according to God's perfect will was greater than the responsibility of venturing into a romantic relationship and getting married. I mean just imagine what the world would be like if Jesus Christ chose to get married to someone avoiding the cross and His Mission here on earth or if Paul chose to get married avoiding the gospel? See? That's how important God's perfect will is! Even Jesus Christ and Paul had the power of choice back then but chose God's purpose for them or His Perfect will rather than their own.

Like you all,  I do have the power of choice. If its according to God's perfect will,  I don't want to be with anyone else randomly but to be with that woman who God created to be with me. πŸ‘ŒPhone numbers don't mean anything or don't make me anything-I don't need anyone, I only need the right one who is meant to be created to be! πŸ’— Furthermore,  like in a HR recruitment process all I could do is scan all the possible friends that pop up my way but would really love to finally come across that someone who is meant for me: someone who loves me not for what I have but for who I am,  someone who is comfortable and can handle my worse but happy in my best,  someone who loves me and faithful to me and no one else apart from God,  etc..,  than I will gladly do the same in loving that person regardless if she is not a good cook,  very lazy,  bossy,  or is a little bit older or younger than me,  etc... On the other hand,  If its not according to God's perfect will for me to be with someone in a romantic relationship than so be it,  because God's perfect will is always the best. I hope you would do the same in choosing God's perfect will rather than your own when it comes to such matters!


Guys,  remember,  "SEX IS MEANT FOR MARRIAGE! FIND THE RIGHT PARTNER FIRST,  GET MARRIED AND HAVE SEX! THE POWER OF CHOICE IS YOURS!"

Does God exist? Answering an atheist!

#Answering_an_atheists_unbelief!


This will be one of the simplest and shortest straight-to-the-point answer you will ever find! This question is one of the most asked questions by the atheist community throughout the world with unbelief to the existance of God.


Quoting from Ethics Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy, British Pilosopher David Hume argued that "moral assessments involve our emotions, and not our reasons." Furthermore, "Ethics applies asmuch to behavior of the atheist as to that of devouted religious person." Oh, mind you, the founders of philosophy were not devoted Christians... So why do human beings both devoted Christians and atheist "FEEL" deep down within their hearts that it is unethical, immoral and wrong to kill, rape, etc...? Why does morality and immorality exist? How can we explain their existence?


Firstly, The Holy Bible clearly states the existance of a God. This God is the Creator of the entire universe-especially planet earth considering Genesis 1:1. This God is a God of Love according to 1 John 4:8-His principality and character. His Law in Exodus 20 is based on His Principality and Character.

So why believe The Holy Bible? Well, The Holy Bible is God's Word to us, mankind or humanity. Meaning, the Word inspired certain human beings according to His Will in the past-the message from the Word to the people during that time of these certain inspired individuals, what actually happened, etc.., is all written down in The Holy Bible. The Word according to John 1:1-5 created everything that was created in the beginning in Genesis 1 & 2-this Word is the only Truth according to John 14:6, and His Name is Jesus Christ. This Word even made it clear that only those who believe in Him (The Word, furthermore, what The Word clearly states in The Holy Bible) should not perish but have eternal life, according to John 3:16!

Face it, if you're an atheist who doesn't believe in the existance of God, I would like you to ponder upon the following questions... If God or Love (1 John 4:8) does not exist, then why do you as a human being desire to be loved by someone else or to love  someone else in general? Why do you feel that you love your parents, your kids, your wife, or your husband? If Love does not exist, why is it wrong to kill someone, steal, etc...? What makes you feel its wrong to kill someone, steal, etc...? What did you thing happen to the minds of the individuals who made our societies laws to think that its wrong to murder, steal, etc...? Why do we (globally speaking) have laws that is like a line that seperates morality from immorality or from right from wrong? Why do you feel morality and immorality or right and wrong exists at the first place?

See my friends, because God (Love in 1 John 4:8) exists you feel its wrong to murder, etc.., considering the fact that we (mankind) were created in the Image of God in Genesis 1:27, Who is Love in 1 John 4:8! Morality and immorality eixsts due to The Great Controversy which started in heaven considering Revelation 12:7-this Great Controversy is is now faught in this earth in which mankind fell according Genesis 3... Right and Wrong, Morality and Immorality exists because God exists, and so is the devil. Anyways, every choice has a consequence-eternal life or death will depend entirely on your personal choice: "believe at your own choice!"
