The same Bible you are using to claim he was "super poor in material things" and couldn't "afford" a slave is the exact same text that shows him possessing infinite capital. Look at how he recruited his first disciples. He supernaturally filled their nets to the breaking point after they had caught absolutely nothing all night. If it were anyone else, they would have looked at that massive haul and said, "Let's start a monopoly. I have the labor, you have the magic, we're going to be rich." Instead, Jesus walks away from the biggest catch of their lives and says, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." After he fed the 5,000, the crowds relentlessly tracked him down because they wanted him to do it again. He held the ultimate economic monopoly: conjuring food out of thin air. The masses were in such a frenzy that they literally tried to seize him and install him as an earthly ruler. John 6:15 explicitly records this: "Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself." How completely deranged is it to look at a man who could command nature, bypass human economics, and actively reject a forced coronation, and conclude he just didn't have the cash for a slave? 😂 His poverty wasn't a bank account issue, it was a sovereign, deliberate rejection of the greed and subjugation that defines ordinary men.

Jesus lived 600 years earlier in a far more unrefined era, yet He never owned a single slave. What is most startling about Christ is how He entirely bypassed the cultural traps of antiquity. He easily could have engaged in the socially permissible norms of His day that age horribly now; like marrying a minor, or owning and sexually exploiting slaves. But He didn’t. He lived with absolute moral perfection in a time when the ethical bar was on the floor, and His standard remains flawless today. He is God.

I can’t particularly think of any gender role that is inherently gendered Except maybe in procreation

It’s pidgin English. I’m saying “Look what I’m doing to Brighton. I’m not even that good yet”

so let me get this straight, you were broke and hungry you were expecting your roommate to help you without ASKING because he’s a “student pastor” you took offense when he didn’t This thing na ragebait??

Be a Submissive wife with common sense Be a submissive wife with your eyes wide open A difficult and abusive partner always leave a clue but we are always too in love to notice. Work on that I was a victim at some point too BUT the main difference was I didn't sit in the pity zone for longer than necessary and God bless my Parents for supporting me through the ordeal. Once it happens, No room for sentiments, wake up, Heal and FIGHT for you, You will let them win if you continue to stay in pity zone. Be Angry, Be Ruthless, Use that anger to Build yourself and ensure you WIN big with GOD. Leave the Kids with those who can help you and Go work as Hard and as Smart, Don't let anyone deceive You , You will need a lot of Money to get back on track My Kids were in Nija for 6 qnd Half solid years, I was doing 13 long days at a stretch, one day off and we go again! But Supplements and food Na water Sha and I was using my Gym at break time , 20minutes of rowing every single day. Yes it was Painfully Hard. I was coming to Nija every 3 to 4 months to see my Kids, Emotionally it was critical and I used anti depressants and therapy. The Kids were aged 5, 1 and 9months when I left them. You will cry , you will pray like Lunatic, You will work harder than most women around you BUT If you stay resolute you will Win with God . Divorce is not the End, Many women will make jest of You , will even call you a failure to your face and it might even be those in same religious and social circle, So you will weed out the bad ones and you will almost become Lonely! Guess what you can see through most fakes going forward if you pay attention. Finally You will Win with God and if you like punish your abuser, That's for you to decide, My Punishment for my ex was I remarried a Much younger man and sent Him the Pictures, Yes Why not! I am petty like that, I won't stop my life because one person choose not to see my worth. My last child will be 15 in January by Gods grace, He was a month old when we left, So time really do heal a lot if you give yourself the chance and believe it or Not HE is still single and unmarried 15 years later, but ofcourse Na Him Wahala be that. So remind yourself every time , I am very worthy , You are very worthy! Never allow anyone diminish you. NEVER So don't let anyone gaslight you at all. Go Heal, GO make money, lots of it, Pray every day as crazily as you can, Do counselling and therapy , its very useful, Use the anger and grief well and above all, NEVER Allow any loser that level of CONTROL over your life again. Life will never be fair for some , Get your fairness out of life, learn easy or Hard, its up to you. I wish us all well ultimately

Putting it lightly, that thought has crossed her mind multiple times

Being a hijabi is really not easy My bathroom tap had an issue, so a plumber came to fix it. I had to keep my hijab on till he was done, and this man spent over an hour! The heat almost finished me The way I kept tapping my feet, saying “Oh God” I got angry for no reason!

Regardless of gender? False! Yoruba culture is patriarchal. Ancestral property are inherited via first born males (Olori Ebi)! Where women partake in inheritance is in the PERSONAL property of the deceased. Yoruba women dont inherit ancestral property. No different from Igbos!
