Is there Any Prayer We Are Not Permited To Pray But Jesus Only?

Brothers & Sisters!I have heard from 2 MEN OF GOD preach that we have a prayer said by Jesus that we are not allowed to prayer except Jesus.'Father forgive them for they don't know what they do, even at the face of death'They recommend that Christ has died that we might live so we are not expected to keep quite while witches and wizard destroy our happiness and our future.Please I want best explanation that can come from you!Thanks

As Stephen lay dying in the book of Acts. . .what was the prayer he addressed to Jesus? The answer to this question tells you those 2 so-called "men of God" are just expressing their opinions. . . Also did Jesus not teach us to pray: "Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us"?

Which Church?

i want to change from authodise church to new generational church but am still confuse in choosing a church that will help me upgrade my spiritaul faith.please,which church is more fashionable and more accommodating? thanks for your response.

You said you want to change from orthodox church and you are considering catholic? which orthodox church were you before ? You very first step is to surrender your life to Jesus and be born again, that decision comes before joining a church, you need the church for spiritual growth. What make you a child of God is your relationship with God.

Why Do People Love 2going In The Church During Service?

I have been observing a lot of youths of nowadays disrespecting God whenever they are in the Church service. What do you think is happening to them? Your contribution, please.

Its very obvious from your post here that the time you spend in observing 2go fanatics can be equal to the time they spend on 2go...so if you ask me, I'd say you both are missing out.Therefore concentrate on the message being preached and forget about them.

What Is The Purpose Of Religion

What is really the purpose of religion since it fails to embrace complexity and also its failure for one religion to empathize with another religion In the name of Allah extremists kills n also wanna get rid of others practicing other religion; Christians heckle others about hell n incite fear on non- christians (mostly through fake stories); Atheists resolve against beliefs in a God or higher deity n would stand-up on anyone that thinks otherwiseThe interesting part is that the average religious man cannot prove of most things he chooses to speak ofThis is an open topic (to all religion), please feel free to give your opinions

First of all I believe there is a GOD, but religion is completely different from what God is. God is love but religion is hate! I think religion is a creation of some knowledgeable people that existed in the past just to cage their fellow men and restrict their thinking abilities with the aim of lording over them.

Why Is Easter Not Really Celebrated Like Christmas?

Happy Easter to all and sundry. I have been observing this from my childhood that christmas celebration has always been merrier than Easter celebration. During Chrismas, we all hear about new cloth line, new shoe lines, hampers, chrismas wishes here and there, children going for santa claus' visits, and other interesting and joyful activities. However, the Easter celebration is not as interesting as that of Chrismas, hardly do kids know what exact we are given break for at our place of work, its less celebrated and interesting in all sense of it, and im bothered on how and why this is so, because, i think Easter should be a very important holiday and festival in the lives of every christian..........so, please, educate me, why Easter is not really celebrated like Christmas. Thanks you all and happy Easter once again.

Xmas commermorates d birth of Christ, which majority of us celebrates our own birthday,how much more Chrst's birthday. While easter signifies d death n ressurection of our Lord Jesus Christ- which is nt a time 4 merriment,its a time 2 retreat back 2 Christ 4 a wonderful prize he paid 4d redemption of mankind

When Goldie Died

When Goldie died, her soul hovered above her body, she couldn't understand what is going on with her. Having not the slightest knowledge of Out-of-Body Experiences. The surroundings are familiar, her official hospital it is, but she is in anti-gravity mode. Unbelievably peaceful and exciting. But she is seeing Denrele crying and the nurses and doctor moving in frantic efforts to wake her up. She wonders, Am I dead ? But I dont look dead. Is this how dead could be ? She feels free, her thought goes to her home, and she is there in an instant, its magical that one can be anywhere at the thought of it. Her Soul is alive although the physical vehicle can not carry the soul energy no more. The soul will find its place in the Ocean of ether and in the pure spirit world. As we mourn Goldie today, let's question our faith, for true and realistic answers to death and the dimensions beyond this third. Lets know and not just believe, if you are alive today, go beyond religion to question the very reason you come to Earth and where your truth home is. I feel that Goldie successful completed her entire class of lessons here, she prolly had a crashed lecture and rounded up too soon. She needs to proceed to the next, in another body. May all Souls find true knowledge of what is and what will be. Peace Profound.

@ billySo I guess with this your metaphysical analysis, its better to die than to be alive?

A Lot Of People Say The New Testament Is Fake

i am sure you have come across people like this. they are all over the place. they say the new testament was written some 300 years after the messiah and that it is all fake and the only real bible is the old testament. agree or disagree ? ever met people like this ?

Logicboy.King David took a woman and killed her husband. Its only The Bible that can punish, and record, such moral failure of a very successful king. Such evil is routine all over the world. Are you denying Sir, that atheists Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao, et al, had no compunction in slaughtering millions of own people. Nigerian Communists of 1960s are still alive and active. Example: a senator form the South East. Sir, ATHEISM is a religion of Self worship, but of such brutal heartlessness that wickedness is justified. That's the apparent reason for claiming that there's no God, because The Word of God confirms the relentless VOICE of Conscience. The atheists don't want anyone to remind them of their wicked ways. And that's what Christianity is about, to call all mankind, you and I, to order, and convert them, if they humbly acknowledge their faults.

Is Christianity Messing With Our Mind?

Sometimes i wonder if things we read in d bible is just a form of messing with our minds.Every good and perfect gift comes from above right? God created lucifer but why isn't he a good and perfect gift?Since God knows the beginning and end, didn't he know lucifer will rebel? If he knew why did He create him?Was lucifer created just to punish us (humans)?Why can't lucifer just be destroyed? Sometimes thinking about all this messes my mind up. I get so confused as a Christian sometimes.

First things first. May God and Jesus Christ give you witness in your heart and in your mind of the truth of the Good News i.e. of the Gospel. That is more important than anything.Second: be warned that a lot of interpretations of the Bible and claims about what the Bible says, even church sermons are not (full) truths. {In a sense some church sermons can be compared to the Midrash ---- not reliable for a considerable part}Third, you may need to spend more time trying to make sense in your own way of what the Bible is saying.Finally, the questions you are asking are good questions; some of them have always baffled and will always baffle. Best wishes What are the criteria by which one may know which of the interpretations or sermons of the Bible are 'Full truths' or not?

The Inconsistences Of The Theories Of Evolution

I came across this interesting article and I thought I should share it "The theory of evolution is shot full of inconsistencies. Evolutionists have seized on many theories, within the overall theory of evolution, in an attempt to explain the origins of plants, animals, the heavens and the earth. Over and over, these atheoristsa try to explain how life evolved from inanimate material into more complex life forms until it reached the pinnacleahuman beings. Yet, as one geologist wrote, aIt must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as studentahave been debunkeda (Dr. DerekV. Ager, Dept. of Geology, Imperial College, London, The Nature of the Fossil Record, Proceedings of the Geological Assoc., Vol. 87, 1976, pp.1132-1133). Perhaps the biggest reason that so many theories within the overall theory of evolution collapse is because they contain terrible logic requiring great leaps in faith to believe. Here is one example of a adebunkeda theory: aMany evolutionists have tried to argue that humans are 99% similar chemically to apes and blood precipitation tests do indicate that the chimpanzee is peopleasclosest relative. Yet regarding this we must observe the following: aMilk chemistry indicates that the donkey is manas closest relative.a aCholesterol level tests indicate that the garter snake is manas closest relative.a aTear enzyme chemistry indicates that the chicken is manas closest relative.a aOn the basis of another type of blood chemistry test, the butter bean is manas closest relativeaa (Morris, Henry M., The Twilight of Evolution, Grand Rapids: BakerBook House, 1967).

ur mission on NL is to ensure atheism becomes popular and acceptable. true or false? No, I want there to be an understanding of what atheism is in Nigeria. My mission is focused on Nigeria only. If people are educated with the truth, they will convert themselves to skeptics. I also dont want to die because some religious fanatic thinks I'm a devil just being an atheist.

The Understanding That Destroyed God's Existence.

it is now know that SPACE and ENERGY cannot be CREATED or DESTROYED. these are the two fundamental reality in which everything else exist and are made up.If the above are TRUE, which they are, the question is : WHAT THEN DID GOD CREATE IN THE BEGINNING.the evident answer is NOTHING, CREATION WAS A LIE, GOD IS A MYTH AND RELIGION IS A FRAUD

everything matter burned returned to being heat. everything produces heat as they decompose, they also have static charges. therefore heat and charges are energy in its most fundamental form. have you witnessed heat and have you seen thunder, then you have experienced energy.if where you are going is that your god is energy, here is a food for thought : your god is believed to have consciousness, but energy does not.Actually, heat is simply how we describe molecules vibrating rapidly just as kinetic energy is how we describe a moving object, light is how we describe the fast movement of photons. So no heat is not energy. Energy is not a thing. It is simply how we describe moving matter and when matter is static, we describe energy as potential energy which is basically a speculation on how much that matter could possibly move.A description of mobile matter is all energy really is. ....and no electromagnetic charges are not in any way energy. P/s: I do not hold that energy = God however I find it amusing that you have no problem with 'uncreated and indestructible' entities and yet you have a problem with God for exactly the same reasons

Was Jesus, Or Could Jesus Have Been Married?

I open this thread with an open mind to discuss and debate one of the many enigmas of the christians gospels.For me, I am particularly interested in understanding why christians are very reluctant to consider this , even if remote,possibility.

5. Jesus was also heir to the throne of Judah, a messiah. Producing an offspring, a male offspring, would have been the first and most important task of his life.. Infact, it was considered so important that the intending bride had to be three months pregnant before the final marriage rites and ceremony .[size=14pt]Also, by tradition, the messiah, had to marry a woman from a special bread of females called marys, who were vestal virgins that served in the temple.[/size]So just like his father Joseph before him, jesus was obliged to marry a mary to produce future offsprings of the royal line.There is more. But lets dwell on these for the momentArrant nonsense.Where did you get that shi*t from and why was Paul not marriedCrazyMan: In case you didn't notice, Mary was no more than a reformed p^rostitute who became a Jesus fanatic. She was the one who was obsessed with Jesus. Her obsession grew so big that it had to make she lavish an expensive oil on him.If at all he was married Mary was a no go area since she was a [size=13pt]slut[/size]plaetton and cyrexx just contradicted each other

Is It Wrong For Christians To Question God?

As a Christian, I have been taught from Childhood that questioning God isn't good. However, I have came across verses in the bible where God was questioned (Psalms 10:1, 13:1, 22:1 & many more) even by some prophets. Sometimes, I feel like questioning Him in prayers but having the thoughts that it isn't right, it makes me skip. Do you guys think it's wrong? Biblical references would be helpful.Thanks

My problem is; what kind of question are we talkin about? The motive ange makes no sense if the type of question is spelt out.I believe all questions are asked based on confusion, what has motive got to do with confusion. U might say it depend on ur degree of confusion or on what is confusing u.One might ask: why did God allow the devil to come on earth and decieve us knowing that man will fall for the temptation and yet will throw us into hell for being decieved in the mist of hardship and confusion? The only motive I know here is to know why.It actually depends on who asks such questions.........Some persons really want to know d truth and some just want to mock God by asking.....Motives are most times involved when questions are asked.....If I flip thru d scriptures and can't find some answers to some of my questions as regards Gods dealings ,I'll relax and understand that I can't get answers to all my questions........While it mite be right to ask God some kinda question,there shuld be a limit....I forgot to say that......Job 9:32.....New Living Translation (A2007)"God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot arguewith him or take him to trial.We can ask questions,but there shuld be a limit....because we can't understand everytin.........if we are confused then we hold on to Gods inspired word(the bible) and be content with it.....

A Pastor Needs Urgent HELP! (true Life Story)

This is a true life story broacasted on OGTV. An herbalist has been using a building for years, with consistent payment of his tenament without any rancour. It got to a point that landlord decided to increase the house rent. But since he could not afford the new rate, he also decided to quit. But a week later, the landlord approached the herbalist to introduce a pastor as new proposing occupant of that particular building. The introduction went succesful without hitches. A week later as well, the herbalist packed out and pastor started his ministry. A month later, this herbalist came back seeking permition to carry what he forgot in the ceiling. The pastor objected the permition arrogantly. He told the man that the place is now a sacred church of God and he can not enter anymore. The herbalist beg and let him realise that what he forgot in the cieling must not be seen by two eyes. All pleas were to no avail and he left.Third day, this pastor climbed the ceiling to check what herbalist forgot, he saw, opened and lost his sight.For over five years, this pastor has remained blind. Later, his siblings came to tell him that, from their consultation, the solution to regain his sight is to do IFA and little ritual. Now, the pastor is blind for seven year, should he go and meet the herbalist for the ritual to regain his sight or remain blind for ever? He needs your advise. It is a true life story. They had prayed, fasted, all superior MOG had tried, oil used, holy water used, even vigil upon vigil, all the same. Should he go or not? Your advice is precious to him. Thanks

Let him meet better pastors to pray 4 him

A week later as well, the herbalist packed out and pastor started his ministry. A month later, this herbalist came back seeking permition to carry what he forgot in the ceiling. The pastor objected the permition arrogantly. He told the man that the place is now a sacred church of God and he can not enter anymore. The herbalist beg and let him realise that what he forgot in the cieling must not be seen by two eyes. All pleas were to no avail and he left.Third day, this pastor climbed the ceiling to check what herbalist forgot, he saw, opened and lost his sight.For over five years, this pastor has remained blind. Later, his siblings came to tell him that, from their consultation, the solution to regain his sight is to do IFA and little ritual. Now, the pastor is blind for seven year, should he go and meet the herbalist for the ritual to regain his sight or remain blind for ever? He needs your advise. It is a true life story. They had prayed, fasted, all superior MOG had tried, oil used, holy water used, even vigil upon vigil, all the same. Should he go or not? Your advice is precious to him. Thanks ## Assistant: ## Let him meet better pastors to pray 4 him ### END CONVERSATION ###

Rape"the Gay Away” Pastor Won’t Serve Time

Girouex, who is not longer a pastor at the Victory Fellowship Church, believed that he could rape away the gay by apraying while he had sexual contacta with the boys, all in an effort to keep them asexually purea for God. According to reports, he told police that awhen they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts intheir mind.a Girouex, a married father of four, has had a fair share of backlash since he publicly made his disturbing practices known. One of his most ardentopponents is his wife Erin, who has spoken out against both him and the reduced sentence he received after theinitial 17 years he was to serve in prison.*While the claim of raping in order tomake the victim sexually pure is novel,rapists having their sentences reducedto virtually nothing is not. Girouexas drastic sentence reduction follows closely behind the heels of the actions of a Montana judge, who sentenced a convicted rapist to serve just 30 days injail, and made comments about how his14-year-old victim was an active participant in the sexual relationship. The victim, a girl in this case, subsequently committed suicide, and the judge apologized for his remarks, but left the light sentence in place.Na wa oh!

This is rubbish! Nonsense! What have these white men turned into?!Reducing his sentence?He is a child molester for God's sake! He ought to spend a life time in prison! Idiot! Fool! Goat!

Is Using Your Phone As Bible On Sunday Service A Sin?

now that we cant decipher what is a sin or not with the invention of new and high tech stuff...using the phone to read bible on sunday service, is it a sin?

It depends. God looks at the heart. Some do it for show, to show off their gadget, or their high tech ability/disability. Some just have the 'owanbe spirit' and need help. Some do it because they're ashamed to leave home with a Bible in hand, or be seen going to church. Some were not able to get their Bible before going to church, some may have the version the preacher is using on phone not in paper. So many more reasons, so it depends. Some na just follow follow, copy cat.

Cele Members - What Does Sani Satani Mean?

I used to attend cele when I was younger and the adults use to say sani satani if they tripped, or a child fell down or for any reason. I had clearly forgotten this term until last week when something happened I now need to know what it means. I can deduce from the satani that it means Satan so with logic, does the sani mean "Go away"; "Get lost" or what? And what is it's orgin? I googled but found nothing.Thanks in advance.

I tink its means 'get behind me satan', In church literature (constitution/hmyn book/order of service) it does not appear at all so there is no official meaning to it, but with the context it is usually used its for rebuking satan and his minions. Kinda like 'Jah Micheal' too

I Married A Religious Girl And I Think I Regret It. What Should I Do?

So, i dated this pretty lady for almost 2 years. Great person to be around, very charming. Very nice and respectful. She is from an Islamic family and her father said i could not marry her. She covers up, but her assets are so big, they can still be seen with all the covering. Through out our dating time, we never had sex though i tried several times and anytime i try, we always end up quarrelling. One of the conditions her family gave was that i had to be a muslim to marry their daughter. I did what i have to do. So, We got married Last Month. Do you know that till this moment we've not been together as husband and wife (We haven't not had sxx). Why? She said Her Vagiinna has healed like a wound and she does not want me to see it. She said she has never used it before, so the opening has closed up over the years. Chai!!! My brain is turning. I told my people and we went back to her family to tell them what was going on. Her father it is the work of the devil and they will pray fot it to open. Now, i got back from work 30 minutes ago and she is gone. She normally comes back home before me but all her things are no more in the house. After all the "i love you too" and my heavy mahr. Ehh Ehhh, This people are testing me.

Lol !Man I think your wife had extreme FGM female genital mutilation. The punny is brutalised and stitched up. On the wedding night, the hubby is advised to get a sharp knife and open up his prize.Its a common practice amongst certain 'north-western' african tribes.You oughta sue both the lady and her parents.I agree with Steve, she must have problems she is so ashamed to reveal. That was why she had been avoiding you seeing her unclothedness all these while. So i advice you to calm down, take a deep breath. Go back to her family and try and get her back, then you can lovingly pry as to what her problem is. You have to be patient, caring and gentle. I am sure she would eventually open up and then you can attempt to remedy the problem.After all you signed a "for better for worse" agreement.

Is Oral Sexx a Sin Before God?

By or.al sex, I don't mean just kissing, but oral-genita.lia sex including cunni.lingus(female) and fell.atio(male). The reason for my question is that some time last year I visited a church and the Pastor shared a story of someone came to him for deliverance. The man had been having problems in his life, and so he went to see the man of God. The Pastor told the man that he was seeing something on his lips and if he wants to be delivered, he has to confess.The man then told the pastor that he has been giving or.al sex to his wife, after reading about it in a novel. The pastor told him that that was the root of his problems, because he was using the wrong body part for s.ex. Then the pastor prayed for him and he got his deliverance.In all my reading of the Bible, I have not seen any proof of this. I want to know if it is wrong for a married couple to pleasure each other the way they see fit.Please don't comment if you don't have something meaningful to contribute. I need conclusive irrefutable proofs, according to the Bible, and not doctrine or emotional gibberish.Thanks.

it is a sin and big sin at that.....the only christian approved s3x style is "missionary".....i.e where the woman lays on the bed, and the man stays on top to show he is the head and not the tail.....any other method will lead you to hell I can assure u....check (jer 45v 8. )U no well for head!

GRACE: Destiny vs Freewill: Brethren, Let Us Break Bread

_For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified._ Romans 8:29-30 For sometime now we have been arguing back and forth with atheists, agnostics, muslims e.t.c. and frankly I am quite wearied by it. Perhaps now we should look a bit into the bible and discuss about freewill and predestination. There are two major schools of thought on this; 1\\\\. The Calvinist: The Calvinist basically believes that because of the fall, man is totally depraved and unable to save himself but that God from the beginning has chosen the people who will be saved. These elect will not be able to resist God's grace even if they try. 2\\\\. The Arminian: The Arminian believes also that man is depraved because of the fall but that one can come to Christ by _rational_ faith i.e. that people exercises their freewill to get saved. The Arminian also holds that the Holy Spirit can be effectually resisted. These are just the basics of the two schools of thought. To get more information on these, you may want to look up the following: Please before anything, The bible is our final authority.

Christ The Foundation

Christ the Foundation April 30, 2012 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:11) The only sure and lasting foundation, for either a Christian institution or an individual Christian life, is the Lord Jesus Christ. No other foundation will endure in that coming day when "the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is" (v. 13).It is vital, therefore, to build on the foundation that Christ Himself has laid. This is laid in three courses, each of which is essential for its permanence. First of all, we must acknowledge with the apostle that: "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands" (Hebrews 1:10). He is the Creator of all things, and therefore Lord over all.Second, we must acknowledge with Peter that we have been "redeemed . . . with the precious blood of Christ . . . Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world" (1 Peter 1:18-20). His foreordained work of redemption thus was foundational even to the foundation of the world!Then there is the Word of God, which is foundational to everything beyond creation and redemption. "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them. . . . He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock" (Luke 6:47-48.)The Lord Jesus Christ is the true foundation, for He has Himself laid every sure foundation. He created all things, His shed blood is the price to redeem all things, and His written Word, by His Holy Spirit, reveals all things needed to build a beautiful, fruitful Christian life or ministry. No other foundation will last, and "if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3). HMMFor more . . . .

Can I Sue These Corrupt Tithe-collecting Pastors For Contravening The Scripture?

[b]The write up of ms Abimbola Adelakun of Punch newspaper "jail is too good for Nigerian pastors" reminded me of an experience we brethrens of Church of Christ had on our open-air evangelism in Okota-Lagos.My preacher publicly evangelised on the ignorance of tithing by denominations who professed to be christians warning them on the sin in ignoring the christian facts that was givienin the new testament written for christian doctrines forbids tithing,as a matter of fact 1cor 16 and 2 cor 9 confirmed that "giving is no longer out of necessity or compulsion(as against tithing which mandates 10%),it is as you purposeth in your mind",no sooner did he end the preaching that some wives of these fAKE CORRUPT pastors verbally assaulted him for 'preaching heresy'.it was that day that I knew that these pastors are using these churches to criminally enrich themselves and their families.Due to the preponderence of these fake pastors and their gullible followers,I completely took it for granted that in my church,there is no general overseer,no headquaters or central administration of command,no tithing or christmas celebrations because christ expressly stated in Luke 22 how he should be remembered only by the breaking of bread and no craze for political patronage!!! I wondered if these church business will be as lucrative as it is if we follow the new testament instruction on giving to the letterCan I sue these fake pastors on the account of the scriptural contradiction in tithing when christians have been warned against it in the new testament and established facts that tithing is meant for the Jew Levite family who were not giving a land when it was shared among the 12 tribes of Isreal?

I wondered if these church business will be as lucrative as it is if we follow the new testament instruction on giving to the letterCan I sue these fake pastors on the account of the scriptural contradiction in tithing when christians have been warned against it in the new testament and established facts that tithing is meant for the Jew Levite family who were not giving a land when it was shared among the 12 tribes of Isreal? [/b] ## Assistant: ## @OPYou can't sue them but they would definitely have God to answer to on the last day. ### END CONVERSATION ###

Nothing Changes Without Engaging The Force Of Prayer.

Nothing changes without engaging the force of prayers.Prayer is the key to every change you desire. I don't just mean any kind of prayer but the prayer of faith, not a prayer of fear or uncertainty. It is the kind of prayer you DO with the word of God in your heart expressed through your mouth. 10 minutes is just enough to get the change you desire.Prayer cannot work without faith. But faith will always work when expressed through prayers. Prayer is giving expression to what you believe. You can pray for something this morning and by the evening you will be thanking God for the testimony.Prayer is a must, it is compulsory, The Holy Ghost would not have come down without prayers, Jesus prayed and even the disciples tarried and prayed for ten days in the upper room. John 10:16, Acts 2:1-4. Jesus could not have been born without prayers. The bible says a woman named Anna prayed and fasted till He came, also a man named simeon also prayed to see His birth. Luke 2:25-40. Many people pray, but only few consciously pray the word. The word must be prayed before it will become real. Prophecies don't get fulfilled on their own, they need to be consciously prayed out. 1st Timothy 1:18.Take out 5 minutes to consciously pray that delayed prophecy about to your life in scriptures to reality. In the name of Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God, you will receive the answers. BB PIN is 21322745

. . .and yet with all the "forceful prayers", accidents happen on our roads on daily basis. With all the prayers, corruption keeps getting worse on a daily basis (we now have a perm sec who can afford to keep N2billion at home). With all the prayers, militancy still rears it's ugly head and we have progressed to suicide bombing. With all the prayers, price of petroleum products keeps soaring. With all the prayers, Nigeria still remains one of the most corrupt nations in the world.

How Would MFM General Overseer Explain These Verses?

1\\. Matt 5:44, Luke 6:27 - But i tell you: Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you.2. Mark 11:25 - And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your father which is in heaven may also forgive you.3. Romans 12:19 - Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ''vengeance is mine, i will repay,'' says the lord.my mum is a member of mfm and i have never followed her to that church, because i cant seem to find any reason (biblically) why i have to keep killing my enemies, contrary to the above verse (to mention a few) every church service. Dear beloved MFM brethens; have you ever thought within you that you could be the enemy of some one else? imagine you are the enemy of another sister in anoda branch far away..what happens if God decide to answer all prayers?

MFM people aren't really killing anybody, no matter what they say. You see prayers don't actually work. So other than wasting people's time and creating noise pollution, they are completely harmless.Let her keep praying like that if she wants. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about how much of her money the pastors have convinced her to hand over.

Bible Answers All Things??

Okay!! An idea just hit me(having an einstein moment?? ) and I'd like to share it. I hereby throw a challenge to anybody to come up with any success, survival or operational principle or tip that cannot be found in the bible. You can draw your case scenario from any field\\discipline, whether from science, sociology\\psychology, paganism\\satanism, politics, ANYTHING!!!. It is my firm belief that all knowledge, whether good or evil, is a shadow of God's spirit\\knowledge. Meaning they are all trying to imitate god's operations. I believe all principles can be found in the bible, It is a book of principles. Another word for spirit is principle\\operation\\behaviour. So let's have your thoughts, and goodluck.

The Uncertainty Principles in Certain Terms...The uncertainty principle states that you cannot have a precise measurement of the position of a particle and it's momemtum at the same time. the more you know one, the less you know the other.God's spirit is likened to the uncertainty principle: meaning that he does not exist in one condition\\circumstance exclusively, and if you isolate a particular situation(wether good or bad) thinking that is the ideal condition for god to operate, then you loose out on the rest of his operations. Ecclesiastes 11 talks about this, but I'll give you two verses:4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap(eccl 11:4).6 Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well(eccl 11:6).John 3:8 also gives an insight on this principle:The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."(John 3:8 )

Is It Wrong?

I guess those into business would be able to understand this better. Anyway, let's say an MD sent his subordinate to go buy something for him. Let's say he comes to my shop and asks for the price of the item, I tell him it's #5000; then he prices it down to #4000. But as I'm about to write the receipt he tells me to write down #5000. Would this be called something like falsifying receipt?Honestly speaking, I'm still a little bit confused as to whether it's ok or wrong. I know sometime ago I was convinced it was wrong but now I'm not sure. That's because we can look at it from different perspectives. Exhibit A: I initially gave him a price of 5k, so if he didn't do the hard work of pricing it down he would have still used up the 5k his boss gave him. Exhibit B: What if when I initially gave him the price of 5k he told me I had to give him a commission of 1k since he's buying from me, otherwise he would go somewhere else. So he pays me 5k, I give him the receipt of 5k, and give him 1k from the 5k he gave me.I'm trying to be as clear as I can. I hope you all get the point. So what are your thoughts Please honest and serious answers only. Thanks & God bless!

If He Isnt Real, Why Are You So Worked Up?

... worked up about him. him = GOD. JEHOVAH JIREH, JESUS, JEHOVAH NISSI. the everlasting father, the creator of heaven and earth. the invisible one. the father of spirits.., Holy spirit etc. you create more threads tryiing to disprove God than theists create on anything about him!!! You get so livid with emotion -- you begin cussing, if somebody says anything contrary to your opinions. You almost cant mention HIS name in the same breathe without spilling a cuss word. Y does something that is not real draw so much emotion and energy from you? Arguing about him heightens your blood pressure!! You burn with the same passion terrorists and fundamentalists display. cracked folks. All this for unreality?! You stay up all night defending and researching to score hit points. This is contrary to the way people in real life treat unreal entities: fictions of imaginations. They laff,then ignore.. if he isnt real , Y does he command so much of your attention? Like, you dont have important things to do with your time.. the last time i checked, inconsequentials were often ignored.. Y so much effort expended. so much precious time wasted. on something invented that isnt real?

I believe in God, but I don't think he is what religion had made him to be. If he is what religion has made him to be, then he is everying we say he is and everythin we say he is not. But back to topic, I think the question shuld be, if he is real why are u worked up? U see this question can b turned back to u. If he is real do u have to evangelize, preach in buses etc just to convince people he is real? If he is real everybody will b convinced he is real by a natural self awareness. U don't have to argue with anybody, no body would have doubted his existance.That being said, I think God is God for God's sake but not for our sake. We are who we are for our own sake, bringing God in our daily life is just a burden we chose to carry, it changes noting.

according to the bible,the name "jesus" was supposedly handed down to Mary from Gabriel and the bible tried to potray the name as been of immense significance and presumably unique.however,despite the fact that there's insufficient historical accounts for jesus christ,history tells us there were other men named jesus who lived at the same time jesus christ presumably lived.one of them was jesus,son of sapphias who founded a band of mariners famed for its notoriety,another was even more popular and weird.he was a monomaniac who lived out his life screaming "woe unto jerusalem" and continued for seven years till he was stoned to death.history recounts that he was beaten and bruised numerous times but offered no resistance and some have even opined that the myth of jesus christ was probably built around him.

Where Is The Dead?

I don't know about you,but i believe this is a very important topic of discussion among true Christians,perhaps even Muslims. My confusion over the abode of dead people is due to what i have read and made to believe.According to Rev.20:13-'Then the sea gave up its dead.Death and the world of the dead gave up the dead they held.And all were judged according to what they had done'. From my understanding of this passage,when people die,they don't go to Heaven or Hell straight.Evryone will be judged on the Judgement Day,which is yet to come,afta which u are sent to either Heaven or Hell. Now,i have heard and read numerous stories of Christians that were shown the reality of Hell & Heaven via visions/trance.You can read some @ www.spiritlessons.com.These ones claim to see people suffering in Hell and likewise the good ones enjoying Heaven. So,who are these dead ones? Do we disbelieve these true life confessions? Is there a different meaning to what the Bible said in Rev.20:13?...Where is the Dead? WARNING: The Wrath Of God Will Fall on Any Atheist Who Dares Comment on This Thread.

i knw.i got ur point.buh am asking if those that are dead and were buried remain in the grave with their spirit,soul and body asleep?? What if someone died in space on a moon-exploration? Or was blown to atoms? Or was melted into nothingness? or was killed and eaten? Or was burned to ashes?So, that your concept of grave cannot really work. Because there are so many ways to die - and not everyone have the luxury of being buried in graves.

hi she brought up something i was thinking, that the issue of falling away has already started and atheist are doing a great job at it, keeping themselves in that delusion of no proof of evidence of God, which is a fertile ground for his acceptance and what we should be expecting now is the happening of the man of sin, appearing, opposing anything called God, will be worshipped by them easily according to 2 thes 2I'm glad there are others who can perceive the times, my brother. It's one reason I no longer engage them in arguments. It is clear that they do not seek the Lord. They have rejected Him.

Test me in this,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and seeif I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.aa Are you faithfully obeying God by paying your full tithe? If yes, begin to praise God in faith for the abundant provision he is bringing to you. If not, ask God to forgive you. Repent today, and commit to pay your full tithe today at church.

LMAO, haba be more realisitic. Because we are discussing tithe you are implying that your knowledge of history is low.What else did the Isrealities undertake as an occupation. They were primarily farmers who had vine yards, grain fields, orchards and livestock. At the time this law was given by God, that was the major occupation of the Jews. They had to pay tithe from those things stated above cos that was the only way they got annual income from. Pls try something else. You demanded scriptures i gave u scriptures so dont twist things. God loves uWhy are you forcing your assumptions into the bible At that time there were various other professions such as fisher men, builders, soldiers, jewellry makers, black smith, servants, potters, hunters e.t.c all of whom earned income and were NEVER asked to tithe of their income. The assumption you made is the lie we were told then you justify monetary tithing from income that was used to defraud us. Thank God we know better today.

Would Our First Parents (adam And Eve) Have Lived Forever?

Assuming the answer is yes -they would have lived forever if not for the fall- and then an offspring down the line, a great grand son, ate the forbidden fruit, will his progenitors' eternal lives be cut short on account of the sin?

I hope bible will be banned from being taught in our primary schools.You cannot teach science and bible together....they conflict! True talk. Science and research shows that the first humans were born in Africa. But the Jewish bible claims they were born in Israel, near the garden of Eden, watched over by a cunning snake with evil motives. I know which story I believe!

This Bible Verse Proves That Yahweh Was Not Omnipotent.

We have all been made to believe that the bIblical god Yahweh was an omnipotent god upon whose power, the the ancient Isrealites destroyed al their enemies.Well, sorry to burst your bubble. Not me, but this obscure biblical verse that is never ever read out in church shows that Yahweh is not as omnipotent as we have been intimidated to believe.In this verse,it clearly states :And the Lord was with Judah: and he slew and drove out the inhabitants of the mountains; but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. . Judges 1:19This is a very significant bombshell. It means that the lord was with Judah to drive out the weaklings of the mountain, but when confronted with superior firepower and iron chariots of the valley dwellers, the omnipotent power of the Lord could not prevail.Any comments?

Hahahaha! That is all angles covered, eh, anony. Give up and accept that your god is a nothing, a nobody pretending to be what he is NOT and will never be. Omnishege! Mr_Anony: I am not being crafty at all. I am just trying to get you to argue properly. God did not fail. That a person did not do something doesn't mean that he cannot do it.

Why Jesus Christ And NOT Jesus Joseph & A Thousand Questions

I am very Christian by birth but I grew up to figure out that I have brains and decided that I can read and understand the Bible. Some questions stand out that faith cant seem to offer me blanket answers:1. Why is Jesus named after Christ Consciousness and not the father figure ? Why not Jesus Joseph, Jesus Jehovah and even Jesus Mary (Isah Ibn Mariam) ?2. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fertilizes egg, so does holy Spirit secrete sperm if not whats the name of the spirito-biological process that brought about his embryonic fertilization ?3. Why was water converted to wine and not to software drink ?4. Where was Jesus' whereabout between age 13 and 30 ?5. If Jesus resurrected with physical body, did he ascend to heaven with physical body ? If not, where is his corpse

Why don't you ask when next you visit the other dimensions in the spiritual plane?

Is April Fool A Sin Or Joke??

being a religious person and having a broader knowledge in my religion(christianity)am still skeptical of dis idea,is april fool a sin or not??

The Bible contains everything. both ancient & modern. The Bible's book of Proverbs already wrote something about April Fool before the first recorded history of Fools Day(research it). Hear the Bible:"Someone who tricks someone else and then claims that he was only joking is like a crazy person playing with a deadly weapon"Prov 26:18-19 NIV

A Message To All Atheist

Hello everyone. I opened this thread to clarify something.Today, i've been reading alot of post made by you i.e the atheist.Why argue and convince people and especially yourself that their is no GOD when you know their is no GOD?You are not to blame. The christians are. It is stated in the book of Revelation that the devil will be released into the world to deceive people even the very elect. Y do christians waste time arguing with you? The devil will twist the world of God and use it to deceive people. Atheist, if u know there's no God, stop arguing with people that believe there is.Some people once said that Jesus was married to mary magdelene. My bible didnt tell me that. Note that christians don't care! We love our God and HE loves us back just like HE loves you too. We believe that Jesus died for us. We believe that Jesus resurected. We believe in the rapture. STOP ALLOWING THE DEVIL TO USE YOU!Peace!

Pls don't ignore for their lives will have no purpose, besides u won't want to have someone's suicide blamed on u, would you!seriously it wouldnt sound nice to hear that macdaddy hanged himself or drank cellulose thinner because there goes his life purpose.

Muslims Are Not Terrorists Yet All Terrorists Claim To Be Muslims .

its really intriguing how many Muslims claim the message of Islam does not allow terrorism and I want to believe that yet on the other hand are people who kill women and children yet claim to be fighting for Allah . it then begs the question that how can two set of people read the same holy book and one turns peace loving and the other turns terrorists . how come the message of Islam is so easily corrupted by some people that it inspires them to shed blood . I know Muslims that are good people but we all know bokoharam who claims to be Muslims also. My curiosity tends to make me wonder if some people can understand the true meaning of a book and others misunderstands it , then maybe there is need for more explanation, a better book ,one that allows no ambiguity about its stand on relationship with unbelievers . one that can not be corrupted to make a man kill another for any reason at all. just my thought .

All thoes labeled as terrorists.. Correct your statement.All thoes people that kill innocent kids in schools or shot at people in a church or poison innocent people are labeled 'psychopath' or have one disorder because they are not muslims but as long as its a muslim his a terrorist.My brother think..

Everything God Does Is Perfect?

One day, theywent hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the slavemanaged to kill the animal butcouldn't prevent his majestylosing a finger.Furious and without showinggratitude, the King said; "if God was good, I would not havebeen attacked and lost onefinger!"The slave replied: "Despite allthese things, I can only tellyou that God is good and everything he does is perfect,he is never wrong!" Outraged bythe response, the king orderedthe arrest of his slave.Later, he left for another huntand was captured by savages who made human sacrifices. Inthe altar, the savages foundoutthat the king didn't have onefinger in place so he wasreleased because he was considered not "complete" to beoffered tothe gods... On his return to thepalace, he authorized therelease of his slave saying; "Mydear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed but forlack of a single finger I was letgo!But I have a question: if God isso good, why did He allow meput you in jail?" His reply: "My king, if I had gone with you, Iwould have been sacrificedbecause I have no missingfinger."Remember, everything God doesis perfect, He is never wrong... Often we complain about life,and the negative things thathappen to us, forgetting thatnothing is random, and thateverything has a purpose...God knows why he chose you to read this message.

But Lucifer/devil was not that perfect, was he? .He was created perfect. He had a choice to remain so or rebell. He had choice of will.Ezekiel 28:15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Love Making In Dream

I am married but dreamt of having sexx. It rarely happens but am not comfortable with it. Is it something spiritual?

I agree with gst101 on this. Read Leviticus 15:16-18. That was what ppl under the law had to do in the event of semen discharge, during intercourse or not.Christ has redeemed us from the law,Galatians3:10-13, if you are a Christian plead the blood of Jesus upon yourself with faith and you're good.

Do Old Folk Foresee Their Deaths These Days?

It marvelled me when I read the portion of the Scriptures that narrates how Isaac blessed his sons before he died. This very part shows us that Isaac had foreseen his deathday which then prompted him to praying for his children before dying. I think Abraham did something near that: he found a wife for Isaac before he died. And such similar issues occur and recur in the Bible. While growing up in the village, I used to hear such stories as well; when an old, dying parent would call their children and share a word of prayers with them because they knew they would soon die. Infact, some died just after they had finished the prayers. But nowadays, I don't think such thing still happens -- or it may be that I am only assuming it does not. Please have you witnessed or heard of such experience just of recent? Just curious to know...

My grandmother did. She said she wanted to go to churCh so she was taken and she received holy communion. Then later she told my dad that she was at peace and ready to go/depart.

Re-incarnation Vs Evolution. Part 2.

Is true that reincarnation was no new believe in Jesus time but Christ took no time to address it,this for a long time have become like a force to the Christains who had believed it,but the fact that Christ was mute about it was no reason that it was a Christain doctrine.Reincarnation is almost like d Christain angle to d theory of Human Evolution. Reincarnation agrees that the Spirit of a man can be reincarnated to the body of an animal,and viceverse.Reincarnation is the theory of Human Evolution that is less explained and more faith-ed,like what some Pastors would say 'jus believe!'With reincarnation is easier to explain the theory of Evolution- how God had created man from animals and how God created animals from plants- totally rendering the Scripture useless.If we Christains are bowing to the pressure of those who thinks they know more than God,am sorry God would be too helpless to give us a second chance. God is quiet because he had prepared us to be in control,is either we betray God or betray Devil!

God created animals from plants? you are plain d.umb.

I Need To Visit A Seer

I am not a religious or spiritually inclined person. I deal only with that which I can see and so never thought the day would come when I will desire the services of a seer. I never used to believe witches trouble anyone. But some things I have seen of recent have made me to reconsider my position.I need to visit a seer in order to make sense of a few things. Do you know any good one? He can be of any persuasion - "native doctor", white garment prophet, Indian mystic, mallam, palm reader, pentecostal pastor. Although pastor is not at the top of my list since he will want me to start attending church which I have no intention of doing. Thank you.

May kelly:Just sit down and wait a little longer more. There is no need for you to reconsider your position, but why? there is no Fire on the Mountain yet and you want to start runing.Meanwhile, Prophets of God are not seer. I would have refered to someone but there is no FIRE on the Mountain yet - until you see Fire contact me. And as I advised you, Sit down a little more.Oh dear!There is fire on the mountain! It's not this one we are saying o! Please refer me to someone.And, yes, "prophets of God" are seers in the sense the word is used here. People who see beyond the five senses are born with such abilities. If you became an imam or pastor or atheist or "native doctor" you would retain it. You don't learn it or pray for it.

Why Does The Bible And Qur'an Refer To God As He?

Why does the Bible and Qur'an refer to God as 'He'? Is there any where it's explicitly stated in the Bible or Qur'an that God revealed himself as a male being? Your contributions would be appreciated. Thanks

In god there is male and female. The male aspect of god is the creator, the father, the one who makes laws.The female aspect of god is the quiet one, because she is not the law-maker, she is not the "head" but she is the manager of the universe. She is the "mother-nature", she is in the background managing. This is why she seems not to be recognized and societies and nature has generally be modeled on this pattern, where values are determined by the masculine gender.

Why Do People Spend So Much Time In Church?

The bible makes us to understand that God answers those who genuinely believe that he exists , put their faith him and do his will. I am not sure God is moved by the number of hours you spend in church. My church starts sunday service at 9am and end by 12pm. Thereafter, one meeting or the other comes up i.e business meeting, youth meeting etc which might last for 2 hours. In this case, we leave church by 2pm. Now, the chuch wants all youth to be in church by 7am for early morning class and general cleaning before the main service which starts by 9am. So, with the usual after-service meeting, one will be spending 7hours (7am-2pm) in church. Is these reasonable?

But u can watch spartacus, desperate house wives, lost, smallville, true blood, vampires et al, even clubbing for hours and d likes without compalining!Its not a must u go to church....u can sit at home and stop nagging on NL....still, u can decide to go early and leave early.....I can see u r just being religious...no connection!Someone is up there inviting you to the world of atheism!

Can God Create A Rock That He Can Not Move? Debunking Omnipotence

Omnipotence = Ability to do all thingsCan God create a rock that he can not move? 1) Yes. -able to create the rock-unable to move the rock.................impotence. omnipotence debunked!2) No.-able to move all rocks-unable to create the unmovable rock.............impotence

approaching this from a totally different standpoint.the former question: "the question does your mother knows you are stupid" begs the latter question "are you stupid". the latter question already pre-supposes that "you are stupid". this is not a proper way of logical reasoning. the first thing is to determine the answer to this question: "are you stupid"asking the former question is meaningless until the latter question has been answered and resolved. in the same way, the question "can God create a rock that he can not move" begs these questions."who exactly is this God", is He the same thing that all religions point to or is He separate from them."What are the parameters/characteristics of omnipotence"if these question cant be answered, understood and agreed upon, we will just keep going around in circles, arguing about different concepts, thinking that we are referring to the same thing.cheers, everyone.

The Great Scandal: Christianity's Role In The Rise Of The Nazi.

In the 1920s, Hitler's German Workers' party( pre Nazi term) adopted a "Programme" with twenty-five points ( The Nazi version of a constitution. In point twenty- four, their intent clearly demonstrates, from the very beginning their stand in favour of a "positive" christianity. 24. We demand liberty for all religious demnominations in the state, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against morality and moral sense of the german race. The party , as such, stands for POSITIVE CHRISTIANITY. It combats the jewish- materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health from within only on this principle.

Confusing Atheism And Agnosticism

i have noticed a perceptional view equating atheists and agnostics in most forums. While an atheist disbelieves the existence of a supreme being, an agnostic is a person who is undecided about the existence of a supreme being....in otherwords, if a religioner is on the right and an atheist is on the left, the agnostic is midpoint......

Exactly! More so. . . an Agnostic believes WHATEVER he or she wants to believe ACCORDING to his or her comfort zones.Agnostics can change to suit his or her environment. I LOVE IT! My own God exists o.My own God is created in my own image and likeness. One of tolerance and no bull-shyting!It is MOST DEFINITELY not a CHRISTIAN one.Hallelujah!

Rev. King Sentenced To Death By Hanging

A Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos yesterday ruled that Rev King, the General Overseer of theChristian Praying Assembly who was arrested and sentenced to death six years ago for murder, must die by hanging.Reverend ChukwuemekaEzeuko aka Rev King was arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to death by hanging in January 2007for the death of one of his church members, a young girl named Ann Uzoh, who he set ablazeby pouring fuel on her along with 6 other church members after accusing them of committing fornication in his church. Ann died in hospital from injuries she sustained from the burn. Rev King has beenin prison since then awaiting his death sentence, which he appealed and failed.What's your Say about this? Think he deservesthe death sentence??

Good morning Osram,I am not a fan of the death penalty but the question of whether he deserves it is another matter. He killed someone and frankly he deserves being put to death himself.However, like I mentioned previously, I do not support of the death penalty and I wish that it be abolished. I would prefer that he be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole instead.My personal opinion not withstanding, I do understand that there are some crimes where people demand that the crime fits the punishment and without mincing words, they will be right to say that the punishment meted out is in line with the crime he committed.I pray he repents of his sin and be truly converted as he awaits his execution. May God have mercy on him.Thank you!sorry to say i tink u dnt rili knw dis man....he z worst dn d devil,he commited alot of attrocities..he killed innocent pple,defiled bed e.t.c.he sure needs to die!

NASA Finds Message From God On Mars

NASA announced today that its Curiosity Rover has found an unambiguous message from God written on tablets in a Martian cave.According to an official press release two giant stone slabs the size of small elephants were located deep inside a cavern abutting Aeolis Mons, a large mountain.Upon one tablet is a copy of the Ten Commandments and the text of John 3:16 written in 12 languages - including English, Spanish, Chinese, Basque and Hebrew. On the other tablet is a simple message in English reading "I am real."According to top scientists who have studied the discovery extensively, these findings may have definitively established Christianity as the one true religion."This is amazing," says Syms Covington, an Australian researcher working for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. "We went into the cave looking for water, and we found proof of God's existence instead."I mean how else did those tablets get there? I can tell you one thing: there's not a single atheist inside NASA's control room now. What we saw was jaw-dropping."Genesis 1:1NASA's Curiosity rover arrived on Mars in August of last year with a mission to explore the Martian climate and geology for signs for habitability.Thus far the mission has been a success, with the discovery of an ancient seabed and chemicals needed for life suggesting that Mars was once suitable for life.However the tablets, both of which are signed "Peace and Love - Yahweh," represent the rover's most significant find to date, and is perhaps the most important scientific event in history."When people find out about this, they will demand change in our society," explains a political scientist at Georgetown University. "Democracy will have to give way to theocracy. We're gonna have to build more churches and reintroduce prayer into schools. Abortion is defiantly going to be illegal within a few months."Despite its potential significance, Covington fears that the Earth-shattering discovery may not make the impact it should."Unfortunately, the mainstream media is so anti-Christian, they might not even pick up this story," he explains. "But God is real. We have proof. And everyone deserves to hear the truth."

Common Tactics Used By Invited Speaks In Church Programs

I attended a church service yesterday and the preacher was an invited prophet,he proclaimed visions to church members.I noticed that invited guest now a days urge congregations to donate money before they experience testimonies and miracles(is this their tactics to generate money for the church as a guest speakers) Another thing i observed is that,they tell people "you will travel this year" as a prophetic utterance.some people are being brainwashed because of this(maybe they believe there are trees that produces money in oversea) .I'm saying this because i'm an instrumentalist and i have been to so many church programs where guest speaks such as prophet,apostle etc are invited, majority of them engage in this tactics.I stand to be corrected if my perception is wrong.

I hav said dis b4, neva give to d church because you expect triple in return. GOD IS NOT A MONEYDOUBLER.when you donate, do it willingly,voluntarily. Expect nothing in return.

Atheist Have No Right

Constitution says right to religAn.right to belong to any religion. Atheist have no religon ,they have no right.

Good morning,The constitution also gives us the right to vote and be voted for...I am sure that there are some adults who did not utilize these rights in the last general elections but this does not mean they have no rights as regards voting.The fact that one chooses not to exercise a right provided for in the constitution does not in any way imply that the individual is stripped of those rights.Another good example is the freedom of speech. We have every right to speak our minds in line with the spirit of the constitution but a lot of us choose not to exercise this right in certain cases but this too does not mean that we have no rights in this regard.Freedom to partake in any religion also implies the right to choose not to be involved.Thank you!

The same Oritsejafor you criticise is the number one Christian representative in Nigeria (Catholic inclusive).Point of correction, many of these pastors you see get invites from different demominations, nations and even governments of nations.Oritsejafor is not the first CAN president.we have had okogie,mbang,onayekan e.t.c didn't they perform their duties even without private jets?So you think adeboye n co get more invites than the pope!!! Dat is quite a ridiculous thing to say.The fact remains that the use of private jets by pastors can never be justified in d midst of so much poverty which pervades nigeria.We saw the flood disaster how much did CAN donate to help the victims? Here we are talking about a whopping $40m on a private jet

What Happens After Death

last time in our municipal church yard we went to dig a grave to bury one of our brother of the organization(choir) but it happened when we have been digging we found bones and skull of someone had been burried several years before blunkets and some woods of cofin we wonder ourself questining each other what happens when someone dies ? not sure that we get a life in hale and scheol where we go when we die ?

What happens when someone dies is what you saw - decomposition of the body back to dust. If the dead person had gone to somewhere, you wouldn't have seen his skull and other bones.Have you consulted the giver of life for explanation? See below for what he says:"In the sweat of your face you shall eat breadTill you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken;For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.a-Genesis 3:19 (NKJV)"For the living know that they will die;But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;Nevermore will they have a shareIn anything done under the sun."-Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 (NKJV)Life after death will only be possible through resurrection by Jesus Christ. "Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forthathose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation."-John 5:28-29 (NKJV)

Minor Things Can Lead To Hell?

things we take for granted can lead to hell... no sin is small,all sin are of the same sizes. Gossiping,mockery/jesting and judging people can lead you to hell.It was revealed to me,take heed,be blessed in Jesus name

God bless you sir, i suppose this short and powerful revelation will set many free. A lot of time all we hear is the gospel of john the baptist - gospel of repentance rather than the gospel of christ - the power of the spirit in man to live above sinAmen brother. Most folks live on the wrong side of the cross. As if the finished work of calvary was not enough. Christ paid for our redemption once and for all. Heb 9:12.The gospel of john is being taught today and that's why most Christians have the performance mentality. If i am holy enough God will bless me and save me. The truth is ,the best of us is still repugnant without divine grace. But through the unmerited favor of our lord jesus,the worst of us can be justified and call God: Abba.I am so glad i dont have to impress God with my righteousness. I only depend on christ and his righteousness. Thank you so much jesus for paying the price and givin me your righteousness.

Do Nigerian Christians Lack The Word Power To Argue Logically?

I have been questioning my belief system in the last one year and this brings me regularly to the Religion section. I always check out topics that are religion-based that make front page. There is a trend I have come to see on here. The average Christian poster here cannot follow through an argument without resorting to verbal assaults. This is very evident in threads where renowned pastors come under fire or when tithing is criticized. Personally, I'm of the opinion that if a person takes to verbal assault to support an argument,the pointers are the person or the argument is weak or maybe both. I think the non-tithing Christians are more logical when making premises and sometimes the atheists too. Anyone with an analytical mindset would shift base from just reading how pathetic most Christians sound when they argue. I think Christians should change their approach when posting here if not they would keep losing to the atheists. Arguments are won by premises that leads to logical conclusions and not necessarily by the strength in number of the opposition.

@opI think its the other way round. Most atheist here can't argue logically without resorting to insults.They ask question, and after giving them an honest reply, they begin to rain insults on you.This place needs to be sanitized.

GOD Decoded; MAN Reloaded

My sojourn to the other dimensions, perplexed my understanding of the cosmos. Such a beautiful place of symphony, animated rainbows, love overwhelming, then the God factor ? felt everywhere yet not the personification concept learnt on physical planes. Heaven is boring after a while, same things happening again and again. Then I got the message; The reason we journeyed to Earth was boredom, we needed to experience sex, booze and the material pleasures, above all, we needed to create more worlds as souls, so here we are and almost always praying to go to heaven where we came from, where we need to meet God, but we are wrong. God is here,it is here, it is us, we are gods, we are a part of the entire thing we have been searching for. The easiest word that defines God is 'Everything'. Look no further, 'God' means 'Everything'. Convert 'everything' to energy, and that's the power of 'God'. We are a part of what God is.For so many, you have to die to be in heaven and know this truth, but for few who dare to fight their fears,truth shall set you free. Now I will work harder and enjoy this world better and build this planet with all the energies I can muster. Now I know I came to win, to conquer and to climb the highest echelon on God wavelength. I am going to own my planet very soon, Yes I really mean that, cos am part of what God is.

Yes, I wanted to say that you should come and help me water my flowers for a fee.No problem about that. Send me the name and location , the botanical name of the flowers to be watered so that I wear adequate protection. Then I need part upfront payment , d account details is in ur box. Today is saturday , expeditious action required

Have You Ever Read Through ALL The Curses In Deut.28:15-68?

The blessings in the first part of Deuteronomy chapter28 seems to be in popular demand compare to its second part. My attempts to read through the curses proofed abortive because the curses are directed to the reader, just like the blessings. Please, share views on this issue. If you have probably experienced thesame thing. If you haven't, you may give it a trial.

OK I WILL LIST SOME OF THE CURSES. DEUTERONOMY 28 VS 36 The Lord will bring you and the king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other godsawood and stone <<<< DURING THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IN 70 AD WE GOT KICKED FROM NORTHEAST AFRICA ( KNOWN AS ISRAEL TODAY ) INTO THE INTERIORS OF AFRICA BY THE ROMANS ( THIS IS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION CHAPTER 12. THE WOMAN RUNNING INTO THE WILDERNESS ) AND THEN AFTER A WHILE IN AFRICA WE DEVOLVED TO WORSHIPPING STONES AND WOOD AND SANGO AND OBATALA AND OYA AND AMADIOHA.You are WRONG in this interpretation. This verse must be referring to the forced movement of Africans into slavery in the Americas, Europe, and the new world. ''Serving other gods'' must refer to islam and christianity - ''gods of wood and stone'' must refer to the images of white Mary and white Jesus etc. Many Africans wear wood and stone crosses on their necks. Meanwhile, if you study the personages of the deities you listed (like Obatala, Sango etc) you will find they are actually the African names for many of those ancient Jewish/middle eastern 'gods' that Africans once worshipped in those regions. So they cannot then be 'foreign' or 'new gods' as far as this quote is concerned. In fact it is our abandoning of such traditional deities for 'Jesus' and 'Mary' - foreign, fictional characters with no evidence of their existence - that is lamented in the quoted verse.

Spirit Wife Scratched His Back During Intimacy In The Dream

I read through a thread today about people attributing spiritual wife and husband to African ignorance so I have a question for the non believers.A few years ago, a friend of mine was asleep and woke up the next day with scratches on his back. Real, painful scratches. His reason was weirded out...in his dream, he said, he was making love to a woman and she scratched his back. He woke up with the scratch marks as a testament.So is this one African ignorance or matter of spiritual importance...please advice

is that your sense of humor run amok or do u have IQ as well as name of a janded musquito?I see no reason why you should insult musketeer muskeeto. If the man mentioned could get physical scratches, then why can't he contact an std?

Is Speaking In Tongues Important And Compulsory For A Christian?

This is a topic that is been delibrated on by many christian folks but before i throw some light on it i will like you to give your opinion

Speaking in tongues is compulsory for any christian who wants to live a victorious christian life in this age. When you speak in tongues, you speak in the wisdom of the most intelligent being in the universe. There are things God wants to do in the earth and through the church that we can't fully understand yet and even if we do understand it by the revelation of the Spirit, it will be impossible to fully articulate them in prayers using man-inspired words. Speaking in tongues is most perfect way to bring down God's kingdom and birth his purposes on the earth.Secondly, life is like a maze. We don't know when to turn right or left or how far we should go in the direction we choose before we make another turn. It takes someone looking down from above on the maze to lead us out to the other side. When you speak in tongues, you pray with the wisdom of the one looking down from above on the maze of our lives. Without speaking in tongues, praying yourself out of challenges will be ten times as hard, coz you will only be praying generalized prayers like God help me.Then thirdly, praying in tongues is the purest undefiled prayer we can pray into God's ears. In tongues, our understanding is unfruitful, our emotions are sidelined and our prejudices our suspended. Under this mode, we can pray God's will for our worst enemy and even people we think are most undeserving of our prayers. In tongues we superimpose God's will over our own carnal desires; infact the best way to say, 'Not my will but thy will be done' is to pray in tongues. You CANT pray amiss in tongues.

If u have the opportunity to vote btw a leader like Moses or Joseph for Nigeria, which one will you choose and why..?

Toss of coin to decide a president or prime minister/finance minister. Hmm.Nigeria is in financial dire straits, and too late for a Joseph step-in, to prevent an economic meltdown that is already in positionSo it is a Moses that is needed to free the people from Pharaoh, to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians.Nigeria needs a Moses to take the people to the promised land, to let the people go to the land flowing with milk and honeyNigeria needs a Moses, that is, if necessary, ready and willing to temporarily give up his Zipporah and family, to effectively discharge the great work he has to do for Nigeria for the desired outcome

Should We Totally Trust The Holy Books

The Bible, and quaran are unarguably an incredible book. Itis the best- selling, most quoted, most published, most circulated, most translated, most influential book in the history of mankind.But why should anyone believe that these religious books are actuallytrue?a How can we know that the Books isn't just an ancient book of mythology* havent these books been tampered with*hasnt key words been lost during language translate*since they are written centuries ago, arent they em....old fashioned. Are they still relevant to todays world* the two books cand definiely be correct, one is or none is

Of the 27 books of the NT only 8 can be ascribed to their declared authors. The 7 undisputed letters of Paul and the revelation of John, though he does not claim to be any particular John. The deutero-Pauline documents are obviously not the work of Paul neither are the pastoral epistles, 2 Peter is an obvious forgery by a writer who has tried to pass himself off as Simon Peter. The synoptics are just as bad, they are not written by any of the named authors, worse, not one of them actually knew Jesus or even knew anyone who knew him, naturally the four gospel writers do not agree on anything other than the fact that Jesus was crucified, the devil is well and truly in the detail. The NT is riddled with forgeries and historical inconsistencies as to render it pretty useless other than as exceptional prose. Modern revised versions of the NT with their subtle redactions, omissions and re- interpretations have merely compounded the problems. Further, the Old testament is a thousand fold worse.

Even before the coming of Jesus christ and the prophet mohammed men have been anticipating the end of the world,am a christian and belives in Jesus christ though all his prophesy about the world coming to an end has all come to past...and its been happening and getting terrible by the day.War,nations against nations and fathers against children,gay marriages and amazing injustice and malpractices...so why hasn't the world come to an end since

Pastor Olu T: Simple for the lost souls to repent, like logicboy n co. Since u said u are a xtian n believe in Jesus Christ, i will not bother quoting scriptures but give reference to study. Study the whole 2Peter 3.Stay blessed n remain rapturableIf your foolish god is waiting for logicboy and co before he can act, then the world is not ending anytime soon.

You're Too Insignificant To Claim There Is No God.

No human being should reasonably say with all certainty that there is no God. While the most intelligent professor in a little field of study gives room for skepticism, you hear some young chaps with a little learning talk in absolute term on a complex subject as God. What was 'fact' in scientific circles some decades back have been debunked based on superior facts. For me to say there is no three-legged human being, I must have crisscrossed the entire world to ascertain it. So it is with saying there is no God.God is said to be omniscient and omnipotent. Have you been beneath the seas and above the heavens? Have you gone to all forests and deserts in the world? What do you know? Have you finished knowing about the physical not to talk of the supernatural? To know is to admit you know not.Please, quit saying there is no God. Only a fool does that!

@op, GBAM!There is overwhelming evidence all around us, of intelligent design (creation) by a creator.Even if there wasnt, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.To think atheists claim to be logical minds.

I "LagosShia" Will Embrace Christianity On Two Little Conditions!

if christians can do the following two things I am ready to become "christian" and adopt the denomination,sect and pastor of the NL member who gives me the answers.1.) Show me where Jesus in the bible said we should practice a religion called Christianity.2.) Show me where Jesus said we should either worship him or accept him as "a god" or "God".if you fail to provide me explicit answers to both questions,then know that you are following an invented and man-made religion that Jesus did not order for.so your beliefs are based on your misinterpretations and what you made of Jesus's teachings and not what Jesus (as) ordered you to do.and common,you missionaries on this forum waste hours attacking Islam and provoking muslims (more than you preach christianity and its different beliefs) to prick Muslims.so you can answer these two easy questions and gain me all for your own version of Jesus (as) and your church.in addition,i would give anyone who answers the questions a gift of 100,000 Naira to show appreciation.

^^Man nuff to answer the two questions. Davidy dylan has failed. maybe you can do better and not your video of arab opportunity will help you here.Incidentally, the challenge of Lagosshia is that you people should quote a verse were Jesus boldly say to his companions, worship me. that will be enough. At least it is a start.Look, Satan was bold and direct with Jesus when he told him "worship me" and I will give you the whole world that I am showing you.Satan didnt stop there. He asked Jesus to "bow down" to him and he will give him a loaf of bread to rid himself of the hunger of empty stomach. satan must have taken the position of being lord over, having power of authority over and has advantage over Jesus. Show us anything like that. I am sure if he was God, his companions would have accepted his command. Instead he commanded them to worship and pray to the God in heaven not on earth in the Lord's prayer, seeking only his aids and forgiveness, etc. Jesus didnt disappoint me because like a dutiful slave he worshiped his Lord at Gethsemane. This is the same way I worship the same Lord that Jesus worshiped.

Whose Crusade Would Gather More Crowd, T B Joshua Or E A Adeboye

If T B JOSHUA and E A Adeboye are to hold an open air crusade in the same city and both MOG starting at the same time but at different ground, whose ground would be more populated

Read your Bible and stop comparing preachers. We don't run popularity contests in Christianity. This is what the scriptures say on that1. It is not wisdom but foolishness to run comparismsWe do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise"2cor 10:122. It is spiritual babies and unbelievers that do thatYou are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?1 Cor 3:3-4Finally, be careful in this last days false prophets will even pull crowds. Crowd strenght is not a tardstick to judge impact in a miracle loving Nigeria church. Judge by changed lives
