Tintinix: Jesus dined with a known and well publicizd thief, (the tax collector, He also fellowshiped with the towns harlot.. hmmmm the bible says greater works than these will we do....Pator Adeboye is doing just that!

oboshan1: This is outrageous Ђδω can an alter that is sacred , that only †ђξ anointed men of God are allowed to sit, is now been taken over by a man holding a sit in this sinful world, what should have been done is give jonathan a special recognition been †ђξ first citizen of †ђξ country,is is not a pastor, he is not anointed, S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ why would he be allowed to speak on that alter,to †ђξ extent of giving false promises  †ђξ alter of God, there is a great difference between a man of God and a man of men...

freelinks: Let me try and enlighten the some folks. In thé temple in Jerusalem,only and only the Priest gain access to the altar.

He is sick, so GEJ should be sent out or what was he insunating. Besides Jesus came for the sinners which include looters not the saints like him(Bankole).

His statement would only have made sense if robbers, kidnappers etc are not allowed into the camp ground.

It's only logical that in a gathering like that, the president must be recognised, afterall he is the PRESIDENT of Nigeria not a district pastor.

Give honor to whom honor is due.

Actually you're the one who is spiritually blind. Please read James 2: 1-7

I see, so what about give honor to whom it's due.

davidylan:

If that is the case then why didnt Jesus request that the chief priest be honored at the sermon on the mount?

See, many of you are just blind sheep who love your pastors more than the gospel you claim to follow. James 2:1-7 is a CLEAR indictment of your church, however you try so so hard to twist by misusing the bible to justify your perfidy. Yes Christ asked us to give honor to whom honor is due... by paying his taxes as at when due. Paul had a very vast ministry, i dont remember him requesting that King Aggrippa come preach at one of his gatherings.

I will love to know what your point is. Is it about GEJ addressing the gathering or siting next to the GO.

I would also love to know the church you attend.

Are you telling me that if GEJ visits he won't be given a sit in the front as a special guest and as the one in the helm of affair in which the church is situated. Also are you saying he won't be allowed to address the congregation.

For the records, I'm not a member of The Redeem Church, I'm furious at the way GEJ has handled the nation, Pastor Adeboye is not even one of my favorite, but honestly I see nothing wrong with GEJ sitting in the front pew and also addressing the congregation, He is the President of Nigeria.

Also about Jesus sermon on the mount, I can't find where he said honoring a President or King in church is a crime.
Also about James, looking at that verse critically, It's not really applicable. Honestly, GEJ is the president, even though he MIGHT be a looter and sinner, I still don't see anything wrong in Him sitting in front and addressing the congregation, though he tried to capitalise on the opportunity and made a small campaign(a typical politician), but the congregation will only demonstrate extreme stupidity by voting for him based on his presence and speech in their camp.

sulaimon99: nt only RCCG includin kicc,tb.joshua,chris oyakhilome and others dy r all d same tin collectin money all in the name of TITHE ,and you call that religion ...GOD IS WATCHING ..end tyme tinz..

davidylan:

More circular reasoning from blind, deaf and mute sheep. Did you read James 2:1-7 or are you also in the habit of IGNORING the bible as long as it conflicts with the actions of your pastoral hero?

There were chiefs, high priests and kings during the time of Christ and the apostles... where did you read them being given the chief seats and speaking opportunities?

I love the way you reason brother, and of course there's nothing wrong in GEJ addressing the congregation and there's nothing wrong in him attending the holy ghost congress.

But my bone of contention is Adeboye should have told him not to capitalize on the opportunity given him to campaign and further tell lies to Nigerians and also he Adeboye should have use this very medium to tell him about the lousy way he's been running the country and to drum it into his ears that "the wages of sin is death" not smother him the way he did....

So what's your point, that GEJ should not sit in the front or address the congregation?.

What do you suggest the G:O does the next time.

mortee: Make una no vex o, but my question be say shey na 'strictly by IV' dem dey take enter the camp? If yes, then we can blame GO for inviting GEJ. But then, some of us will still criticise GO for not 'dining with sinners' as Jesus did.
If it is not by IV and GEJ just decided to go to the 'house of God' which I supposed should take in sinners and whoever, and GO sends him back, some of us will also say he should have allowed the President stay.
About sitting on the altar, methinks it's just about giving honour to whom honour is due. Even music, comedy and film shows sell VIP tickets and these VIPs don't get to sit where every other person sits.
Have you considered the security risk in having GEJ sit in the congregation? How many SSS, MOPOL, ARMY, POLICE, CIVIL DEFENCE and their likes can stop the mob?
Let's be real, abeg.

davidylan:

Exactly what Christ and the apostles did and preached about. The president is free to attend the church and sit IN the pews as everyone else.
Even when Obama goes to church here, he is made to sit in the pews (place is determined by the secret service for security reasons only)... is not allowed to speak at the pulpit and special prayers are done in private.
