'21st Century Christians' A Poem

It baffles me how God created the earth with us humans residing in it till date.It baffles mea lot of things baffle mebut here's a few for you to see.It baffles mehow the last people to come to churchare the first to leave looking at their watch.It baffles me how fans go to watch a football match 30mins earlyyet they do so to church very rarely.It baffles me How when a football match goes into extra time the fans watch eagerlyYet when a sermon goes into extra time they complain bitterly.It baffles me how some students can memorize notes upon notes Yet they cannot recite 5 simple Bible quotes. It baffles me how some students buy textbooks of N5,000 or more when toldYet their Bible has the inscription 'NOT TO BE SOLD'.It baffles mehow some people spend thousands of naira to buy phones and gadgetsYet a thousand Naira has never travelled to the offering box via their pockets .It baffles me how some ladies ask whether some modes of dressing are wrong Yet they don't ask whether standing in front of a moving trailer is wrong.These things baffle meThey really baffle me.

D poets are around. Make i sit don look.

Pastor Chris- Preach The Gospel

Mark 16:15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature ().It may surprise you to know how many of your next- door neighbours are yet to hear about Jesus. This thought motivated me back then, and still does today, to go all out, preaching the Gospel to everyone.Growing up as a Christian, I went from street to street, and from house to house, telling people about Jesus. I felt the onus was on me to tell the untold, and reach the unreached; to let the whole world know that Jesus came into the world to die for our sins, and was buried, and raised back to life for our justification. This is the greatest news on planet earth!To receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and be born again, is the best thing that could happen to anyone. As a Christian, you have a divine mandate to preach the Gospel to those in your world and the regions beyond. God has committed to you the ministry of reconciling men back to Him (2 Corinthians 5:18).The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for sustainable progress and development for any nation or a people. It holds Godas answer to all of the predicaments of humanity. In Romans 1:16, Paul said, aFor I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.a The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation; in it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith (Romans 1:16-17).For the influence, impact and effect of righteousness to increase in every nation, we must keep preaching the Gospel. The realization that Jesus, the Son of God, died for the salvation of the world and yet some still havenat heard about Him should motivate you to preach and tell everyone you meet about Jesus.

Good day Mr Agbaje,I am still struggling to understand how this has anything to do with Pastor Chris.

Correlation Between Corruption/lack Of Societal Development And Theism/atheism.

I saw this note on Facebook and decided to share it here, I think there is an element of truth in it.THOUGHT FOR FOOD: Something struck me yesterday when I look at Tranparency International's corruption perception index - again: - Denmark, Finland, New Zealand tied in 1st place for least corrupt nations. They also happen to have the highest population of atheists in the world! Hehehe. That got me thinking a little bit.Questions:1. Is excessive 'religion' a by-product of ...excessive 'moral corruption'?2. Does this mean that believers are hypocrites and unbelievers are not?3. Does belief in a God make people very self-involved that feel invincible?4. Does Atheism force a person to be accountable for their actions & does belief in good/dark forces exempt religious types from this?5. Poor countries = high theism. Rich countries = high atheism. What therefore is the relationship between theism/atheism & the economy?Culled from Kathleen Ndongmo (Facebook, 2012)

No. America is indeed unique.We have to give all credit to the founding fathers.America was founded and populated by people who were escaping the deep religous shisms and persecution of their European homelands.Although the early settlers were themselves religious, the founding father were Freemasons, men who understood religion and its overwhelming negative influence to the human psyche. Although they loathed religion, they also understood that religion cannot be banned away. So they subtly and cleverly emasculated religion by keeping religion separated from the Powers of the State. They made religion a personal affair rather than a state affair. They also, I suppose, knew and hoped that over time,no matter how long,that reason would triumph over faith. This separation of state and religion allowed people unfetted access to new ideas and world view. This, in turn, attracted immigrants of every culture and talent to the melting pot of America, where they all contributed their talents, unmolested by any religious dogma, in creating the wealthiest and most dynamic nation in the world.America has continued to progress because, at all levels of government, religiously inspired laws, have over time, been replaced by ethical secular laws that accommodate all.

The Least Read Book Of The Bible?

I've been listening to preachers teach, i've been following lots of daily devotionals both online and in hard copy.But i've never heard any man of God quote the book of Nahum.Is it that there is hardly any reasonable stuff to teach from this book?

No? But that's where the oft-quoted "Afflictions shall not rise a second time" comes from.Nahum was basically a prophet that fore told of the destruction of the city of Nineveh.

"The Greatest Mistake Made By Most Men Of God"

I came to realise that most men of God do make this mistake that their pastoral work is a sure ticket to heaven where it is not as it is just a gift of the Holy Spirit by they will be judge by the works of their hand. Image that a great and well known man of God in Osun State seems to be bleaching. How will he preach against that if he founds any member of his congregation with such act? **Note:Being able to do the works of God is not a ticket to heaven by just a GIFT** What is your own view about this as well?

Most of them are nothing but modern days pharisees and sadducees . The scripture says, to inherit the Kingdom of God you must be better than them (pharisees and sadducees) because they are bunch of hypocrites! Matthew 5:20.

Would You Remain An Atheist In The Face Of Death?

I'd like the atheists on this forum to honestly and sincerely answer the above question.Do u hv so much convictn in ur positn that the thought of reconciling with "any god",be it Allah,Buddha,Jesus etc. will not cross ur mind at death?.Would u remain unflinching even in d face of death?(ps-the topic of this thread is not intended 4 critism)

i didn't mean it dat way.what i was asking is if u'd renounce atheism n embrace a belief in god when u know death is near.I doubt it, I've been an atheist for too long to have any reasonable doubts.But I would not look down on an atheist/agnostic who decided to "embrace God" at the last moment. Death must be a very hard thing to face, and it's not my place to quarrel with a dying person's choice of how to cope with it. Let's not forget that atheism is not a religion!

Bishop David Oyedepo Goes Abroad To Celebrate 30 Years Marriage Anniversary

A few hours ago at the winners chapel, it was announced that the controversial pastor, bishop david oyedepo has travelled abroad with his wife to celebrate their 30 years marriage anniversary. The bishop hardly misses the sunday services in the terbanacle for anything, also considering that he could just have celebrated it with the congregation to share in their joy.But anyway, we all know its much more pleasurable to be in some tropical island or somewhere in europe, sipping some expensive champayne in some 5 stars hotel. Keep it upchurches are businesses,pastors are enterpreneurs,enterpreneurs have fun8)

If somebody like me with such a low/meagre income can afford/decides and actually celebrated my 1st wedding anniversary outside Nigeria -even though its in another African country, why should Oyedepo be stoned for taking out time to celebrate outside Nigeria?Bad belle dey worry some people!

Assisting A Friend Or Pay Tithe.

A friend of mine came to me for an advice that his friend is in the hospital seriously ill and begged him to assist him with some money so that an operation would be carried out on him.He came to me and said the only money with him at home is his tithe that i should advice him on what to do.i told him to give the money to the person in the hospital,he now gave me a shocker that he was also in his pastor"s place too,that his pastor told him to pay his tithe that God will take care of the man in the hospital. I began to wonder what kind of pastors do we have?

Where is the link of this story? Now everyboby is posting without asking cos is against a pastor. If it was something positive about a pastor people will start asking questions. Christians are amazing.Has your friend or you ever payed tithe before? What is tithe to you? Whats your personal revelation about tithe? You just dey find people mouth. For me, i will pay tithe and save live together. If it means borrowing to save the person but i will leave no one undone.

Men & Women Of God In The House Should Please Help Me Interpret My Dream

Good morning to everyone in the house, I greet you all in jesus name.I had a dream in the early hours of today, in that dream I went to Redeemed church and Pastor Adeboye was ministering, as he was about wrapping the service up, he called I and my friend to come to the altar, my friend had allready gone to the altar but as i stood up and was heading to the altar, in between two chairs I couldn't move, I tried going but there was a force that stopped me, the force was very strong, so pastor adeboye came over to where I was and I told him what was happening, he moved round around that region and later discovered where the evil force was coming from within the church premises, he thanked me and then he laid his hand on me and I fell down shaking heavily. Now that I am awake I would want to know what the dream means, I would love people of God with great mindset to help me with this dream. Thank you.

The interpretation is in the dream itself. There are powers that are against yr accomplishing yr destiny in God...(the pastor u saw in yr dream is not really pastor adeboye but the spirit of God). Now it so happens that the powers have the ability to stop u from accomplishing some things which ought to be easy for others. The strangest part of yr dream is that the powers reside in where u are supposed to find comfort. (my personal opinion points to yr "homes" (ancestoral home AND yr place of residence) ). The powers as it were are not strangers to u.The solution is also in yr dream. Take authority via prayer. The "pastor" came to u (showing yr importance) and u "told him" the issue which he took care of. Fight yr battle not as a person that is confused but as a giant that woke up from a long sleep only to realise someone had messed up with his stuff.

Tithe Is Illegal

Dont be startled by this subject cos its the truth.i remember i used to be a tither even as a student cos my then pastor of a branch of rccg told me that as long as money enters ur pocket 10percent of it was God's.i did what i thought was "God's" will to the detriment of my health cos i had typhoid and couldnt pay for medication as my monthly pocket money from my uncle(parents dead)couldnt cater for my feeding alone cos tithe had taken most of it.i struggled with that burden until i started asking questions and luckily for me my brother gave me a samsung multimedia;that kept me surfing the internet where i came across several articles that clearly shows that tithing is not a christian doctrine and practice.google search for "THE TITHE IS ILLEGAL" written by gary amirault.devote your time to reading it and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free from the babylonian catholic and protestant churches that need to be protested against.read it before you comment otherwise you will still be on the my pastor said...my pastor said side.thank you.

I've gone through this article before now. it's quite revealing. The modern day Church has so much financial needs and use Malachi 3 as a leverage. The tithe is actually a scam and a good number of tithe supporters do not know the truth. That notwithstanding, a real Christian should give liberally to support the work of God but the idea of a strict percentage is dubious.

Creation Of Man

The bible says God used the rib of man to Form woman. Why would a God who created the whole universes out of nothing needs the rib of man to create woman and why is man's rib not missing?

Well, the Christians will defend this and tell you all sorts of symbolic meanings attributed to this gesture.I will simply say; this shows the misogynistic nature of the ancient people that came up with religion and how they intended to subdue women by concocting a story like this to show that even god made a woman "less" than a man.

Shocker! – Newspaper Reports False Death Of “Our Daily Manna” Publisher

[img][/img] A prominent national daily newspaper, (Daily Champion) in Nigeria reported that the publisher of Our Daily Manna, Rev. Dr Chris Kwakpowe, was assassinated at his home by unknown gun men. His full name was printed in the controversial publication! Even the CORRECTIONAL VERSION RE-PUBLISHED, STILL CARRIED HIS FULL NAMES! This has caused panic and tears across the Nigeria nation, especially among ardent readers and beneficiaries of Our Daily Manna devotional worldwide. Findings however have shown that Dr Chris is alive and well. Though the false publication has caused him to be very angry, reliable sources say he is calm but has been asking his close associates questions such as: aIs it a sin to be used by God, sleep just 2 hours a day and to succeed by the grace of God?" This is so, especially with various enemy blogs and lies against him recently. Earlier on, it was uncovered that Dr. Chris received a text message threatening that he would be blackmailed on the internet if he fails to part with 250million Naira! He was also advised to get in touch and not inform the police. This is coupled with the burglary at their national headquarters and OVER 9 FAKE FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS IMPERSONATING HIM and defrauding innocent people! He is said to be focused, but is quietly considering the next line of action and wondered who would want him dead! Stay connected for further unfolding chapters of this death -scare!

This is what Nigerian journalists has become. Peddlers of lies and fake news. Mtcheew.

Is God Satan?

I came across an article today talking about God and satan being opposite sides of the same being; with God being the light and satan being the darkness. The article also touched on how the world would have no purpose if there were only light & no darkness, how being/doing good would mean nothing if there was no evil. So the whole point of the article was that God & satan are the same being only that God represents light while satan is the darkness. he/she/they used these verses as basis for the claim:>>1 Chronicles 21 : 1 - 4 and 2 Samuel 24 : 1 - 4.If you read the verses, you'll see the similarity in both of them. Could this be true? Is God satan?

The creator did not create Satan we created him. No one is causing havoc on earth but ourselves. we are only just shifting the blame. btw not everything in the bible you should believe. He created lucifer who later became satan. This your own theory of no satan is a bit too hard to swallow & why should I not believe everything in the Bible?

Lent: Countdown To 40 Days Fasting.

Today, Wednesday marked the beginning of the fasting period. This is a thread for all participants to share their experiences, temptations, prayer pattern and everything related to Lent. As for me, I prepared for this period by eating a very healthy and highly nutritious meal yesterday. However, last night at 2am I had serious symptoms of Malaria so I started my first dose of Lonart DS, took second dose at 9am with food. So, my fasting period was between 9am to 6 pm with prayers at intervals. Let's hear yours. We'll come by each day to share our experiences and encourage each other. Thank you!

You guys are just suffering yourself.free yourself, eat and drink with your families. it is a waste of time to fast, there is no god to answer.Did you say "There is no god to answer?"Well, my dear..."The fool has said in his heart there is no God".I have felt the very existence of God in my life, even as a child I had experiences too. If you seek Him you will definitely find Him. Let me share one experience with you. I went through financial constraint while in post secondary school. I resumed school after paying my school fees with the money I had been saving since I graduated from high school. I resumed with a bag, a bucket and just #60 Naira. Several weeks after that, I didn't have kerosene in my stove to cook and I couldn't go on begging from neighbors. I had always had Faith in God's ability so I was forced to put it to work. For complete 10 days I cooked on a stove without kerosene. i just refuse to open it or acknowledge that it was dry, I just lit it and cook the little I had. Until, my brother sent me some money, I went to the market and bought kerosene. I lit the stove and it died within few seconds. My dear, I don't believe in God based on what I was told or what I have heard but What I know. Though I'm not a Catholic, I remember as a child the encounter I had with the Rosary and I may tell you if you want to hear it. Just ask God to reveal Himself to You, He will. Seek Him and you shall find Him.

Should Your Pastor Disturb You For Tithe

I attend a pentcoastal church And I know the benefit of paying tithe So I don't default.But have not been able to pay my tithe this month due to my financial committement this month. To my surprise I received text message from my pastor reminding that I have not paid my tithe this month.This saddens my hearth and I keeP wondering why pastor is bothering me for my tithe.Should I reply pastor's message or I should ignore the text.

Good morning Ken,I believe firmly that financial stability is very important for everyone and every establishment. We really can't do much in this modern world without finances.Like us, the 'Church' has bills to pay, projects to embark on and very many other obligations that need financing. It is praise- worthy for every member who is capable to support the Church in order to meet up with these obligations.However, financial support for the church MUST be voluntary and MUST be strictly between the individual and God. I am not a fan of tithe given but if the individual in good conscience decides to give tithe for the love of God, then I don't have a problem with it.PS: No one has the right to minitor how and when you give this financial support and I am of the opinion that 'believers' should discern the difference between a "Man of God" (MoG) and a "Man of Business" (MoB).Thank you!

From Atheism To Christianity

Todd WhiteTodd White was a drug addict and atheist for 22 years when in 2004 He was radically set free! Redemption and righteousness are the foundation and the keys to the new creation reality that we are to live in and from. God has simply opened Todd's eyes to this truth and that Holy Spirit wants to flow through every believer everywhere we go, at work, school, grocery stores, malls, gas stations, everywhere.His true joy is being able to reproduce in people the simplicity of this reality, in a 24/7 kingdom lifestyle! This is for every believer! No one is excluded!Todd's testimony has been re-enacted on the Sid Roth show. He has appeared on the 700 club and also has been featured on the XP media with Patricia King. His heart is activating people into the simplicity of who they really are and destroying lies that hold people back from being who God created them to be.

You really do not understand Atheism.You dont become an atheist by choice, it is what you naturally, normally are.Todd needed help, he never had his life from the beginning, he was a drug addict as you noted, he lost consciousness of his person. That is not who atheists are, we are people with full awareness of the world around us, we are not addicts, we are people who, no matter what is happening to us or around us, remain strong in all situations and strife to find solution to all things.Todd does not qualify as a strong human. He is not fit for survival, therefore, he gave his life to silliness, he became a christian. That is the property of weak people - Religion.The religious are the weak, the weak are the religions.The strong are the atheists, the atheists are the strong.Its about survival of the fittest, so if you are not fit, you look onto a God for answers, if you are fit, you become/remain an atheist and look into yourself and the world around you for answers. So Todd does not matter to the atheist community. He is weak and such is not found among those who identify as ATHEISTS.I REMAIN A PROUD ATHEIST

Fact : Our Minds Can Run Miles In A Minute. How?

Imagine that awkward moment when you are in the church and your pastor thinks you are paying attention meanwhile, your mind is far away from where you are. It happens everyday and everytime - just yesterday in church my pastor thought I was paying attention to his sermon not knowing that I my mind has gone to Ekiti state where I met that fine girl. May God forgive me, if you have also been in my shoes before pls share.

I am not trying to be holier than thou for it happens to us all, but why open a thread concerning it for surely your mind is constantly derailing. We can always control our minds, though left alone can be disastrous which is why the bible enjoin us to always renew our minds with the word.

Religion Enslaves Us All: Life Is For Living

LIFE IS FOR LIVINGSo I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Ecclesiastes 8.15Religion holds people in bondage, but faith sets people free. Religion promotes suffering, faith promotes enjoyment. Religion promotes piety and self exultation. Faith promotes God. Religion tells you what to do to get to heaven, faith brings heaven to you. Religion separates, faith unites. Religion kills, faith gives life. Religion ostracises, faith brings back home. Religion brings fear, doubt, anxiety and condemnation, but faith brings freedom, boldness, courage, and justification.Religion pleases man, faith pleases God. When Jesus came on earth, he was too different for religious people. He was eating and drinking, and healing people. He was restoring hope and bringing joy to everyone that he met. So religious people conspired and killed him and started a religion upon his death. Jesus did not come with a religion, he came with life from heaven. He came with faith from God. He came with a relationship. He said in Mark 9:23, that ato him that believes all things are possiblea. He said believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1. Jesus brought life, healing, deliverance, joy peace, favour, blessing, laughter, goodness and health. But religion tries to postpone all these in the guise that you will have them when you get to heaven. What do you want child of God? Religion or Faith. Life or death. Suffering or enjoyment. Sin or righteousness. The bible says in 1 Timothy 6:17 that God gives us all things richly to enjoy. 3 John 2 says I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health. If you suffer one more day, itas your fault. God has given you life. Choose life and live. The bible says in Deuteronomy 30:19, behold I set before you life and death. Choose life and live. Life is for living and not for enduring.

You are right religion enslaves us all , but Jesus came to set us free.Surprisingly , it was the religious of his day that rejected and killed him, looks like we are in the same position as we were 2000 years ago.

What's Wrong With Female Pastors?

I'm Starting this thread because of my Mom.She's a Pastor in one of the known Penticostal Churches. However last night we had a discussion where I realised that she was having problems with the Regional Coordinator.He has refused to give her a Branch, and keeps promoting her Juniors to the Position of head Pastors with Branches.Even those without the necessary ministerial experience.I think its because she's a Woman.My Mom started her ministry when I was still a young Boy. Attended all 'schools' and done everything.I feel so sad that there could be Politics like this in the house of God.Is anything wrong with being a Female Pastor? Why don't they just make it a law barring females from the pulpit?Omo I dey vex!

This Gospel of DISCRIMINATION against women in the body of Christ MUST come to an END! You guys need to understand what Apostle Paul was saying before coming out here to talk. Thank you!My brother they can only discriminate here on earth......The chief speaker will deal with them when the time comes.... Comment Aa va mon frA re bien aimA en Christ?

Beware NOT Everyone Posting Here Are Human Beings

Every one need to be aware of the truth that a lot of evil spirits ,demons and human agents of darkness are on social networks assigned from the pit of hell to mis-led and drag souls to hell fire . These agents of the devil on mission poise as atheists ,pagans and other ungodly faiths to deceive and lure souls to satan .The bible states be watchful and vigilant for your adversary the devil walketh about like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour.

Speaking out of ignorance is all i can say to you.But let me go a bit further to enlighten you, spiritual facts aint tangible enough to be proven, they are immaterial, just like you feel and see the impact of breeze and waves yet you dont see them neither can you tell where they are coming or going to. It takes those who are of the spirit to detect and fathom the things of the spirit, but as it is, you cannot excercise what you've rejected and labelled false!@OP God bless you, it shows there are still people left in this world who are sensitive enough to see beyond.What you said is the actual truth, but who would believe our message if they could actually reject that of christ.Bless you!i find it amazing that a bunch of apparently educated and intelligent folks will believe a dude was born in a small jewish town 2000 years ago and that the dude was the son of the god who created man and who man disobeyed by eating from a freaking tree that the god planted and told them not to eat from.suffice to say that the tree was actually the tree of good and evil which begs the question,who needed the fruit from that tree?who needed to constantly eat the fruit of good and evil?if nobody,then why the heck did god create the damn tree?lets also not forget that there was a tree of life which the god told his angels to quickly go and guard before man eats from it.if you believe that story,give yourself a big slap for been such a slowpoke

These agents of the devil on mission poise as atheists ,pagans and other ungodly faiths to deceive and lure souls to satan .The bible states be watchful and vigilant for your adversary the devil walketh about like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. ## Assistant: ## Speaking out of ignorance is all i can say to you.But let me go a bit further to enlighten you, spiritual facts aint tangible enough to be proven, they are immaterial, just like you feel and see the impact of breeze and waves yet you dont see them neither can you tell where they are coming or going to. It takes those who are of the spirit to detect and fathom the things of the spirit, but as it is, you cannot excercise what you've rejected and labelled false!@OP God bless you, it shows there are still people left in this world who are sensitive enough to see beyond.What you said is the actual truth, but who would believe our message if they could actually reject that of christ.Bless you!i find it amazing that a bunch of apparently educated and intelligent folks will believe a dude was born in a small jewish town 2000 years ago and that the dude was the son of the god who created man and who man disobeyed by eating from a freaking tree that the god planted and told them not to eat from.suffice to say that the tree was actually the tree of good and evil which begs the question,who needed the fruit from that tree?who needed to constantly eat the fruit of good and evil?if nobody,then why the heck did god create the damn tree?lets also not forget that there was a tree of life which the god told his angels to quickly go and guard before man eats from it.if you believe that story,give yourself a big slap for been such a slowpoke ### END CONVERSATION ###

Prophet TB Joshua's Prophecy & It's Manifestation On The AFCON Glory.

I guess the topic is self explanatory; last week, I read on this forum about his positive prophecy that the super eagles will be crowned champions of Africa, I doubted that alittle, but when I heard that the super eagles eventually triumphed, I was forced to give it a second thought. What's your take on that fellas? NB: I am not a fan of his. No bashing pls...

Do you know what it means to sacrifice? Read this statement by a young African pastor.Found among his papers in Zimbabwe after he was martyredI'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.My past is redeemed. ...My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power.My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary. I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.I am a disciple of Jesus. I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!

Why MAGIC In "Nigerian's Got TALENT"?

Please can somebody tell me the difference between "talent" and "Magic"? I watched "Nigerians Got Talent" show on telly today. When I heard the Title of the show I thought it was suppose to showcase the talent of Nigerians but I saw a guy playing with fire and chewing broken bottles what I used to see magicians do. I am surprised the guy got to the semi final so I began wondering whether magic was also a talentAnyway, I voted Toke a little albino gal for the simple reason that she brings God's presence with her talent and innocence. In a world where many loose their faith, abandon the church and play for the world all because of popularity and fame. That's my choice you are entitled to yours .

Magic is just tricks. What has religion got to do with this? Even on Britains got talent, there was a guy doing magic tricks.

Why Don't Christians Fight When Jesus Is Insulted?

Please some one tell me, why is it that Christians dont fight and go around burning things when Jesus is insulted?

Don't be fooled - racist undertones and a history of US leaders and friends attacking and bombing other countries has led to the general responses worldwide to the hate-filled film.Just imagine a white person making a movie calling Martin Luthor King (not even Jesus yet) a love-vendor who taught African-Americans to be violent drug-taking gangsters then someone showing it on TV in a place like Harlem.

A Sick Gay Pastor Needs Your Help

Good morning everyone,I can't take it anymore, in as much as i agree that the 'act' of homosexuality is not acceptable to God,I must admit that i am so much in need of your help.I have prayed,fasted done all i could, but none of it seem to have averted my unhealthy desire for men.i do agree that i am sick. I have used this forum as a platform to spread false doctrines and staged fake claims of healings, please find a place in your heart to forgive me. My apologies to all whom i have offended particularly striktlymi. All i need is prayers of restoration and healing for my sick soulThank you!

I advice you to seek deliverance from homosexuality. The first step is to agree that you've got issues so good job in confessing that. Next, feed your spirit with the word of God, pray continually, work towards self-deliverance or look for a deliverance ministry (Be careful. This is a serious matter). I pray that God helps you.

I Dreamt I Saw My Sef In Old Secondary School..

I dreamt i saw my sef in my old secondary school with my old secondary school classmates..wat does dis mean..

Some people have said that when U dream and see yourself in a place you used to be, that it is a sure sign of retrogression. Meaning that the spirit of backwardness is trailing the person. You need to seek God in prayers(like fasting and prayers) and seek for the help of your spiritual leaders.good luck.Hmmm. Some people. I have dreamt about my secondary school like 2 or 3 times climbing up the stairs or talking to a teacher. I finished from the school more than 10yrs ago.After dreaming about the school like twice, there was a need to help my sister go to the school to collect her Waec certificate. And guess what, I climbed up the stairs and spoke to couple of my former teachers.

Picking And Chosing The Scriptures? God Is Watching Uuuuu

Even if our pastors are not teaching us the truth,we have the bible as our guide. When it comes to trousers for women Deut 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man....They'll say we're no more under the lawWhen it comes to divorce Malachi 2:16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away...They'll say we're no more under the lawWhen u condemn indecent dressing prov 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot.....They'll say we're no more under the lawI can go on and onI love beautiful dressing especially when it's not revealing yet very sexy. I went to a church few weeks ago and couldnt pray cos of the kind of irritating things the ladies wore to church in the name of fashion,the ugly mgbeke make-ups and the dance steps,more like a night club.But on the other hand some scriptures are compulsory and if u dont do them,u're not a serious member:You must pay tithe Malachi 3:10 bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse.(old testament)You must not come to church without money Exodus 34:19 And none shall come before me empty (old testament)I can also go on and onWhy is it that commands in the bible about giving are still valid whether in the new or old testament while the rest have bn abolished?.Even the pastors have dropped all the scriptures that talk about suffering in the name of Christ like the apostles did. Churches are being planted everywhere in Abuja,Lagos and the likes.And they're picking up their private jets one after the other. And the question is, if the churches are clustered in the cities,one minute from each other, who will preach to the poor people in the villages?. The bible is the bible. You cant pick and chose."God is watching all of us"

That is why our religious leaders are not that different from politicians that always sight or quote the part of our constitution that favour them

Proper Method Of Calculating Your Tithe

To every bible believing Christain, tithe is an injunction of the Almighty God. Tithe is similar to Moslem's Zakkat. In Malachai 3, God's words equates a man who does not pay his tithe as a man robbing God and therefore cursed by God with licking basket. Devourers are from God consumes his earnings. Some believe that tithe is an Old Testament injunction and therefore no applicable to New Testament days. However same people would agree that the ten commandments given to Moses in Old testament have not been abrogated by reason of the introduction the New Testament. But for those who believe in the principle of tithing, how do you arrive at the actual amount to pay. Is it 10% of your gross earnings or net earnings. A salary earners salary should be 10% of his total earning since tax would have be deducted and not 10 % of amount remaining after deduction of expenses. A businessman's tithe is 10 % of entire profit arrived by deducting the cost of production/invested fund. So guys how do you arrive at your calculation if you pay your tithe?

Dangote is a tither! In Islam, Tithe is in form of Zakat and it is mandatory for every muslim to pay it as commanded by Allah. Besides, tithe does not only add to ur wealth but ur total well being. The bible injunction that instituted tithe said that if u pay ur tithe God will remove every devourer from u. Devourer is not necessarily poverty, but things that bring unhappiness to u or make u waste ur wealth. It could be that strange illness that defiles cure that one labours with secretly and sheds secret tears, it could be people cheating and stealing from u, it could be a lot of things. in that case Islamic tithe must be the deal since Dangote is 107 times richer than Oyedepo(from Forbes figures).you better come and lets drop our bibles pick up the koran and jet to mecca to stone the devil.Men, erroneous doctrines have really taken root.so so sad

What Is God Called In The Arabic Translation Of The Bible?

Hello my dear friends. Would you be kind enough to answer me question?

I was joking, "pulling your legs". I appreciate the effort made not to upset me though. #LOLFrom the Islamic perspective, God does not compromise on his unity or if you like uniqueness and unquestionable authority. Hence, Allah is his favourite name because it defines just that.I like your opening phrase - from the Islamic perspective- cause it helps define your meaning and line of thought. Now,do you think its an aberration for Arab non-Muslims to use the term Allah? As they (Arab Non-Muslims)see it its root is from pre-Islamic Arab and is generically meant to describe "the supreme deity"? Do you think that since Islam uses it to denote God (from the Islamic perspective), its meaning is unique to Islam and therefore not proper to be used to denote God from another religious perspective?Whats your take. In fact, let me come clean; I am itching to find out, why did you ask the question in the first place?

What Kind Of HOPE Does Your Pastor Preach?

What's the name of your church?What kind of hope does he/she preach?Financial satisfaction? Heavenly grace? 'A new car each year, for paying your tithes', or hell for your enemies, unless dem free youHolla!

And the congregation cried,"Amen!""And if I had all the wine in the world, I'dtake it and throw it in the river". And thecongregation cried, "Amen!""And if I had all the whiskey and rum in theworld, I'd take it all and throw it in the river".Again the congregation cried,"Amen!"After the sermon, the preacher sat down. The deaconthen stood up & said: "For our closing hymn,let's turn to page 126 of our hymn booksand sing, 'We shall drink from thatriver'".THE CONGREGATION SCREAMEDHALLELUJAH!!!! and i was like WTF

To Preach Tithing is to Preach Fraud

Tithing has been abolished. We are now under a better covenant with Jesus Christ as our high priest.If you want to practise the tithe by volition , good for you , but do not formulate a doctrine out of this ancient rite.To preach that believers MUST tithe is akin to FRAUD."and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you." - 1 Thessalonians 4:6Here we see that to defraud a brother is a transgression and the Lord will punish all those who practise this wickedness, yet many today who parade themselves as bible teachers defraud their members off billions of dollars on a worldwide and annual basis.Any believer who continues to insist on the tithe is either naive and ignorant of the bible or a willing participant in this fraud .If you are a pastor or a preacher, get a JOB , work with your hands and earn your income. If the church decides to support you in addition to your income, good, if not , do not depend on it.Apostle Paul worked making tents, who are these thieving so called MOG who depend on 'GOD's' Money to live big and build corporate organisations and business empires ?With all the billions of tithe money, the poor in the church are getting poorer, the widows are neglected and the orphans are the last people on the minds of these thieves.Tithing is the 21st century replacement for the other FRAUD called the Indulgences.

Halleluyah!Here is one sermon I can agree with.I second that. Halleluyah indeed!@Frosbel:You see,well all have some common decency in us.Our souls burn with rage at the sight of Deceit and Fraud.We atheists realize that everyone is entitled to or even needs to believe in something. Whichever belief system makes one better citizen is welcome and encouraged.Our sometimes militant outspokenness against religion, most especially evangelical chritianity, has to do with glaring nature of fear mongering, deceit, abuse and fraud that is deeply embedded in the evangelical version of christianity. It gladdens me that even Christians realize, and express shock and outrage at the level of fraud and exploitation perpetuated by this mercantilistic approach to christian fellowship and salvation.

Did You Put The Last Church Sermon In To Practice?

It is saddens my heart when i see people going to church without putting the previous sermon or any of the pass church sermons into practice. Why is that Godlinism only last less than 24hrs in this part of the world? Whe are only Godly from 6am-5pm (sunday school inclusive), our bibles are shelved immediately after this period. I often try to figure out the essence of warming benches in our various churches when it is quite obvious that all the preachings will be highlighted and discarded immediately that bible is shelved and ours church shoes,tie and shirts were hung in our wardrobes, is this not first class hypocrisy? We shouldn't treat God like Nigerian police and think we can bribe him with that #50 and #20 on sundays. My dearest christian, stop seeing tithe and offerings as direct spear head that will automatically pave way for us into paradise, let match what we hear with actions. I wish ya all happy SUNDAY.

Should Science Be The Only Legitimate Guiding Force?

Science is a fundamental aspect in human life and so is spirituality for some. Both can open up (and also close) the way an individual thinks and perceives.However science strives to maintain objectivity whilst spirituality is subjective thus is it important to balance the two? And what happens when science is in conflict with ones belief?Whilst anotheras beliefs should not be imposed on anyone, science should at least be held as a universal basic but akin to some peopleas individual beliefs some parts of science still remains theoretical.Although beliefs should not be used to legislate a country, life is more abstract and science cannot or has yet to decisively measure certain important principles such as morality (albeit morality can be subjective).But just because spirituality may be optional (and personal) for some unlike science which is largely compulsory and universal does that make spirituality less significant? "Science without Religion Is Lame, Religion without Science Is Blind" a Albert Einstein: Agree or Disagree?

What I understood as Spirituality from E-engineer was that it was Curiousity, which of course drives the search for knowledge.Boith Science and Religion are man's attempt to find knowledge. Religion often is the social realm that holds explanations for reality, man's existence, the nature of his curiousity, society etc. Its kind of an ancient attempt at philosophy as we know it.

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## User: ## Science is a fundamental aspect in human life and so is spirituality for some. Both can open up (and also close) the way an individual thinks and perceives.However science strives to maintain objectivity whilst spirituality is subjective thus is it important to balance the two? And what happens when science is in conflict with ones belief?Whilst anotheras beliefs should not be imposed on anyone, science should at least be held as a universal basic but akin to some peopleas individual beliefs some parts of science still remains theoretical.Although beliefs should not be used to legislate a country, life is more abstract and science cannot or has yet to decisively measure certain important principles such as morality (albeit morality can be subjective).But just because spirituality may be optional (and personal) for some unlike science which is largely compulsory and universal does that make spirituality less significant? "Science without Religion Is Lame, Religion without Science Is Blind" a Albert Einstein: Agree or Disagree? ## Assistant: ## What I understood as Spirituality from E-engineer was that it was Curiousity, which of course drives the search for knowledge.Boith Science and Religion are man's attempt to find knowledge. Religion often is the social realm that holds explanations for reality, man's existence, the nature of his curiousity, society etc. Its kind of an ancient attempt at philosophy as we know it. Also has a role of preserving societal order , status quo OR vent for social change.For example, Sumerian priests could accurately predict eclipses, yet placed a mystical shroud over such knowledge and exercised immense power which influenced social behaviour, gave authority a legitimacy and other social rites.Same with the Egyptians, the priests were the intelligentsia.

The Widow's Offering....

Believers should seek God, and not a legalistic rule, about how much to give. The value of our offering is not determined by how much we give, but how we give.Mark 12:41-44 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury.Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth,this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everythingaall she had to live on." 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. The way God values our offerings is different than how men do.

The fact that there is not one piece of evidence for god?The fact that the bible supports slavery instead of condemning it?The fact that the major churches once supported slavery and have apologised for such?The fact that christianity is just a foriegn religion brough to us by Europeans? The fact that creationism is a lie? Ok. I see. So i believe since you are not a christian any more, just avoid us that are christians; stop peeping into christian threads na so u no go get these reminders/nightmares every time.

Can Someone Explain This For Me?

I was just reading this portion of the bible and suddenly got shocked at the below passage. Please explain if you have a better explanation. Thanks.1 Corinthians 14:33-36For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 34, Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. 35, And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for women to speak in church. 36, Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?

Smartie gurl: If that is the case, what right have we to chose what portion of the bible should be changed, because i know of many portions of the bible people will never fell to respect and speak of always. K2039 be serious please.I don't agree that any portion of the bible to be changed.Critically looking at that same chapter, Paul also instructed men to keep silent at certain points too. It had more to do with orderliness in the church in those days, besides the church was just growing then and most women were uneducated in the Scriptures, so Paul suggested if any woman had any question, she should ask her husband when they leave the church and if the husband can't answer her, he can in turn ask someone who can.

Perception Management: Pope Francis, A Breath Of Fresh Air

Barely a week into his papacy Pope Francis is doing miracles in the area of perception management. What is so unique and refreshing about this is the fact that it is not being managed or run by professional public relations firms or spin doctors. No. The man is simply being himself.For me, it rekindles my hitherto dwindling optimism about human nature. It gladdens my heart that a good man can make bring so much sunshine to a dark environment in a very short time.Although the numerous tasks before him are yet to be tackled, he has done a remarkable job, first, in evoking what is perhaps the most important ingredient of all: Passion and Hope.Many People, including yours truly, an atheist, might finally get a chance to see and perhaps understand what it means to be a christian.Pope Francis says" He wants to see a poorer church". Now please compare that statement the noisy rants of the the packs of pentecostal hayenas, fraudsters and clowns around you, who are just too eager to tell you that Jesus was a billionaire.Pope Francis might just be the fresh air that the body of christianity has badly needed for many millenia.I wish him long reign and plenty of luck as he seeks to reassert the humble teachings of Jesus, and to purge a descrepit religious institution of corruption and perversion.

'I haf die today'...ooman for president!!! You "haf die" because I love people irrespective of their religions? Are you sure the devil is not using you?

Chips; WORD Chips

I am compelled to start this topic. I and everyone interested can share a 'word chip' and elaborate.Its time we preached around here, don't you think so?-Here's my first word chip, culled from INTRODUCTIONGALATIANS in the message by Eugene Peterson:When men and women get their hands on religion, one of the first things they often do is turn it into an instrument for controlling others, either putting or keeping them "in their place." The history of such religious manipulation and coercion is long and tedious. It is little wonder that people who have only known religion on such terms experience release or escape from it as freedom. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FREEDOM TURNS OUT TO BE SHORT-LIVED....(Emphasis mine)Yeah. The bondage of religion. People deceived into believing that they're okay with God, people decieved into following a set of rules to attain righteousness. Here's what Jesus said:Matthew 11:28-30; the message"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with meawatch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill- fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Can We Say Working In A Brewery Is A Sin?

A friend of mine who have been searching for job for a long time eventually found one in the nigeria brewery located at ibadan,but he insisted that he is going to turn the offer down because brewery is a sinner doom.....he said beer production is an evil act and he is not going to be a partaker in any evil....I was very amazed at this reaction because it has been long he is jobless

The simple question here should be: Why on Earth did he apply knowing fully well that he is going to turn down the offer? He didn't only apply, he prepared and went for God knows how many aptitude tests and interviews, prayed to God that he gets the job etc and now that he has been offered the job, he finally came to terms with the fact that he won't accept it because he believes it is sinful?This is really sad. Why didn't he just stay at home and not apply instead of blocking the slot of some body else? Anyways, your friend should realise that Sacred scriptures is not against taken alcohol but getting drunk. What he wants to do is similar to saying that since gluttony is a sin then working in a food manufacturing company is sinful.

Nigerian Men Dont Serve God Like Their Women: Why?

I know women are more naturally emotional.Yet,their certain step that women take and sacrifice to serve God. Like' when i am at church it is majority women who sing along ,and get involved.Hardly do i see their husbands there with them doing the same thing. I only see the women and children there.Also it's rare for me to hear of my Nigerian brothers fasting ,and if they do it will be a short fast with little prayers.They are also not faithful to what they say ,they often see no harm in dishonesty ,and don't see no harm in adultery.They rather work work all the time,eat, and sleep,but do not give at least an hour of their day to pray.I tend to come across Nigerian men who claim to be christian but behave like an atheist.They play God by, requesting for an abortion ,when they get a girl outside of marriage pregnant.They take demand into their own hands instead of following the word of God.And sing praise Jesus ,even if they got their money illegally or with sin ,example (D'banj).You see you may yell at me or insult me pastor sexsinners ,but it's the truth.Repent now and start following God.

Noise Pollution: Nigerian Pastors Are Deafening Christians

Jesus Christ, his Apostles and even Paul didnat use any form of voice amplifier, yet we still hear their message today. Two Sundays ago, I honoured an invitation and worship at a church at Ajah, Lagos. After 3 hours of worship the only thing I went home with was the song the choir ministered and a pain in my ears- the speakers were too loud. The pastor didnat help matters at all because his preaching style was athe voice in the wildernessa- he was shouting. Imagine covering your ears while praying. It wasnat a funny feeling, as I still experience little pain in my ears whenever I encounter ant form of noise. Technical unit of churches should endeavour to reduce the noise and fine tune the output. The effectiveness of a message is not in its loudness, but it its ability to permeate the heart of the listener. Please brethren, are you a church worker, technical unit member or pastor, please let the auditory health of your members be your concern-reduce the noise! Jesus is still lord even without 4 concert-size speakers!

Lol..I remember when I used to work for the technical unit of one of the major churches. I'd reduce the volume of the microphones and get set for service only for the preacher to mount the microphone then complain he could,kt hear himself. This was despite the face that there were two monitor speakers close to him, just beside the pulpit.Like the prophets of Baal, I think most nigerian chrisitians gete excited by raucous prayers and preaching.. That's the right 'atmosphere' to be slain by the spirit...

Praying For The Dead

I want us to discuss this and make it clear, as Christians are wesuppose to pray for the dead ?

@ HerexG and Frosbel,You are being deliberately dishonest.When they debunk you on 'praying for the dead', you start to talk about 'praying TO the dead'.When we pray for the dead, we pray for the souls who are destined for heaven but are still being purified.When we pray TO those who you say are "dead", we are actually asking the Saints who have made it to heaven to intercede for us. And we know that they are not dead, but alive.You see, this Catholic family is one big family that even death cannot break. The Saints in heaven pray for us, we on earth pray for the souls in purgatory.

Perfection Must Be Attained To Get To Heaven

People say,human being cannot be perfect but God says be ye perfect(mat. 5:48).There is no choice in this matter,the standard of God remaineth sure(2Tim 2:19).So you either live holy and perfect to be rapturable or continue in your sin and go to hell.But I tell you hell is not a palatable place.Please surrender your life to Jesus be totally free from sin so that we can all rejoice in heaven.Be ye holy!

I disagree with the OP. While the scriptures he used are indisputably true, they are taken out of context.The bible makes it abundantly clear that there is a righteousness of God that comes to Christians when we place faith in Jesus. This is gospel perfection. Romans 1:16-17 this righteousness is from faith to faith; every step of our walk with God demands that we cast our hope of perfection on his righteousness, alone. That is gospel perfection. To do otherwise is foolishness , Galatians 3:1.Every tendency to make Christians think that they can attain some perfection here on earth by some self effort, outside Christ, is to preach a legalistic gospel that undermines the very power of sin that Christ came to destroy. It is because we do not know what sin is that we talk glibly about perfection. The Spirit that claims that he is perfect or is seeking perfection by human effort is a self righteous spirit and that in itself is SIN.Nonetheless, upon Christ perfection which we trust, we are enjoined to live holy and walk in love; that is all the duty expected of believers.I repeat if anyone thinks his righteousness or perfection will earn him heaven that person is trusting in self and will be damned at the end.

Thoughts And Questions (Bible Scholars Pls Need You Here)

As a young christian I remember having favorite preachers. For quite a number of years the interpretation I gave to certain scriptures was the same my "Favorite preachers" gave to them. Back then whatever my "favorite preachers" said was right and at some point I even preached whatever they said word for word (without referring back to the Word).As the years passed by I started questioning some of these interpretations and I Iearnt to wait on the Holy spirit to reveal the right interpretations. I'm still doing study around some of these questions though but I just thot to share them.I believe revelational knowledge is progressive and I think its very important for believers to always check the word for themselves regardless (doesn't matter who said it).I didn't put this up to discredit anyone or ministry, this is js an avenue for a honest discussion, where we can all learn the truth.These are some of the questions I asked myselfIsaiah 53:4-5 and 1pet. 2:24 really talking about physical healing?Did Jesus have to suffer in hell or was the work finished at the cross?What are the blessings of Abraham referred to in Gal. 3:13-14?Is 2Corinthians 8:9 talking about physical riches or something else?Is Romans 8:19-24 talking about some future manifestations of saints on earth or the rapture?What does Romans 8:32 rily mean: "He that spared not his son....also give us all things"Mark 11:23, will a believer truly have whatever he says?Thanks

I'm a student, not a scholar.

Least in the kingdom,greater than John simply means the least person(born again,born of the spirit and of water,washed by the blood of Jesus,rapturable n raptured saints) on earth or in heaven(kingdom of God) is greater than the greatest man that is born of a woman,born of flesh and blood,John the baptist.

Is It A Sin To Be Proud Of Our History?

Let's face it, virtually all the ancient achievements recorded by us as Africans were made by non-christian Africans who kneweth not the Lord. The pyramids of Egypt, the pyramids of Sudan, the Benin empire, Ghana empire, Mali empire, Great Zimbabwe, Kush, Ethiopia, the Zulu kingdom, the Ife bronzes, the Benin bronzes, etc etc were all achieved by heathens and pagans who kneweth not the Christ. And kneweth not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.Surely we should have nothing to do with these people owing to their heathen ways and barbaric beliefs?Surely it must be a sin to associate ourselves with them??Are we destined for a fiery, burning hell if we show pride in our ancestors' achievements??

@ Rossike, sorry I watched Django and I was on a hype. @ Topic;Religion is one thing that has destoryed our knowledge of history. Christianity and Islam tells us that we descended from Jewish/Hebrew people called Adam and Eve. However, our history is far older than that of the Jews or Hebrew language.Our ancestors were pagans, but now, due to religion we call paganism "withcraft"

Flood Relief, Where Are The Mega-churches And The Mogs?

Over the past several weeks, many millions of people in many communities across our country have been ravaged by catastrophic floods. These floods have taken thousands of lives and have created a humanitarian crisis all across our nation.The federal government,led by the the president, the various state governments and governors have stepped up to their responsibilities by doing as much as they could to offer rescue, and immediate relief to the victims of the flood disasters.We have also seen many well-meaning individuals and organizations step in to offer assistance, notably the Catholic Churches. Traditionally, offering a helping hand in times of crisis is an area where the modern Catholic Church excel well beyond expectations.However, correct me if I am wrong, conspicously absent in this most important time of need and assistance are the Mega-Churches and their bigger-than-god MOGs(or MOFs).In this time of great need, where the children of god are desperately crying out for help, Where are the likes of Adeboye,Oyaks, Okotie, Okonkwo, Mathew Oshomo-whatever and ofcourse Oyedepo?(The tyranny of Os).Where are these jet- setting evnagelical Church Barons?.As regents of Jesus, what better time would there be to give back to the followers and the communities, the love, bounties and benevolence of the body of Jesus?In what better way would jesus manifest his redeeming power if not through the unconditional largese from these overfed cats? servants?This form of cold insensitivity to the genuine needs of the community are the kind of things that validate my personal opinion that pentecostal christianity is the most insidious, the most pernicous, the most evil form of institutional slavery ever spawned from the stable of Christendom.

''thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Image'' And The Church

It is a clear commandment of God that graven images should not be made but all over i see images,crucifix and stuff being sold,worn and adored in Churches all over the world by Pentecostals,Orthodox and what have you? I maybe wrong but do they have a different scriptural interpretation for that.....All views are welcomed.....

If we are to agree the verse is from the old testament and shouldn't be taken serious, then emphasis should not be laid on tithes payment cos it's found in the old testament

Rapture Would Ve Happened Few Weeks Ago. (pls Read Only, Comments Not Necessary)

I got this from a friend and i think itas worth sharing: A man and his wife were travelling when an old man standing by the road side beckoned on them to carry him. They didnat initially, but after a few meters, the car suddenly stopped. The man came out of the car and went to call the old man. The man entered the car, the car took off. The old man then said: The ARCH ANGEL was told to blow the trumpet last few weeksa sunday (15/7/12), but JESUS pleaded for more time and went to cover the trumpet from sounding, and the old man disappeared. This is a true life story that happened at Emure Ekiti. Are you prepared? We canat afford to miss the rapture. JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!SHALOM...

I wanna hear ur take on this matter.This is the clear reason why "some" Christians are deeply deceived.......BECAUSE THEY DON'T STUDY OUR MASTER/LORD'S WORD.
