striktlymi:

If we go by that logic then it would be wrong to be Christians. Afterall we accept the saying:

God of Abraham
God of Isaac
God of Jacob
Etc.

alexleo:

We can accept these ones you mentioned because they are in the bible. The scripture testifies about their covenant and relationship with God. Now how sure are you about the relationship of your pastor, whose name you re using, with God considering the prevalent greed and wickedness in the present day christianity even among pastors? They can continue to risk their lives with the so called god of chosen and god of their pastor. For us, the name above all names - JESUS, is the name we know.

striktlymi:

If people claim the right to condemn the 'good' pastor why can't the members of his church claim the right to come to his defence

luluosas:
This is where you people in chosen church got all wrong.

striktlymi:

Those men were not perfect they had their flaws. What matters is what the individual knows to be true. If I and my dad worship the same God, there is absolutely nothing wrong in saying that I worship the God of my father, as long as I know for sure which God I refer to.

alexleo:

You are still not getting it. Nobody is saying whether Abraham was perfect or not but the fact that God accepted himself to be called their God in the scriptures we accept it too. Its completely different from a present day pastor who out of greed can engage in occultic practices or other voodoo things in other to attract more members to his church. And of course we know that more members means more money for them. Can you vouch for the credibility of such men? Do you go with them everywhere to be sure they aint putting hands into evil? One thing is for you to pray the God of your father like you said, but another thing is for God to accept that your father is truly his. As holy as my own dad appears to me, I don't pray to the God of my father and I ve never taught my children to pray to the God of their father. The name of Jesus is the name above all names and that makes it the best name to pray with. As a father, I love my children and always try to give them the best. I ve given them the best name to pray withand that's JESUS.

striktlymi:

Why not settle this by quoting the part of sacred scriptures that forbids people from using phrases like: "The God of chosen" or "The God of striktlymi"?

alexleo:

Ok can you also tell me the part of the scripture that says people should pray with god of Chosen or god of my pastor?
Also tell me where Jesus said we should pray in the name of our pastor or church.

amara.lizzy%40y:
For d fact dat GOD has chosen us, so is nt wrong to pray wit God of chosen. You cn go to 1peter 2v9.

striktlymi:

Is this not pretty?

Oga you are the one condemning an act, not I surely. As a result, you are supposed to provide the scriptural backing for your condemnation, given that you use only the scriptures.

#Note that none of your scriptural quotes condemns what you condemn.

alexleo:

The scriptures that I quoted for you are very clear and that's why you have nothing to fault me on that.

striktlymi:

Why not show us the part you quoted that stated that it is wrong to say "God of Chosen"?

alexleo:

You have no point. Its just like asking somebody to show you the scriptures that says that smoking indian hemp or cocaine is sin or asking me to show you where it is written in the scriptures that Nigerian politicians should stop diverting public fund into their pockets because its a sin. I don't engage in such waste of time.

alexleo:

striktlymi:

This is pretty!!! I guess you also did not make the following comment?



How is the above different from what I asked you to do

alexleo:

And because Jesus did not mention specifically that using god of chosen to pray is not bad means its right to use it to pray? NO. And may be because the bible did not mention indian hemp and cocaine specifically that means they are not bad to smoke? NO.
And because the scriptures did not mention Nigerian politicians specifically that means they can't be wrong in the fund diversion they are doing? NO.
Only you knows what you are defending. Continue with what pleases you. I can't bring myself so low to pray to God thru my pastor even after Jesus has instructed me to pray in his own name. I go for the best and that is Jesus, not my pastor's God. No bros. Thanks.

alexleo:

[size=15pt]You have no point.[/size]

striktlymi:

alexleo:

Yeah you can carry on with your god of chosen and god of my pastor bondage.

striktlymi:


Why not stop given us this your man made doctrines and show us where in the scriptures it is said that saying "God of chosen" and "God of my pastor" are signs that someone is in bondage?

alexleo:

Ok. So using god of chosen and god of my pastor to pray is God-made doctrine? You dey try. And may be, using the name of Jesus which we are COMMANDED to use is man made. Clap for yourself.

alexleo:

[size=15pt]You have no point.[/size]

gazilion: I feel bad when people begin to argue on things of eternal values. I'm not a Chosen member, but I've attended Lord's Chosen while in Nigeria few times and also attended their night virgils at their HQ's. I'm happy with the zeal of so many innocent members of the church. Something happened that made me leave with my family. I prayed fervently and the revelations I got were not exciting. I can say with cautious trepidation - knowing the eternal consequence of the deceived that those who are there, should pray fervently and ask God for the truth of the situation. IF YOU DO THIS WITH ALL SINCERITY, GOD WILL SHOW YOU!

Leave him alone my friend, he and every single member in that church are delusional. May the Almighty God deliver them from the grip of god of chosen in Jesus name amen. I cover all of us here with the blood of Jesus.

fluxbush: Do you mind sharing your revelation for the benefit of those who are still 'trapped' there?

striktlymi:

C'mon shift if you can't provide scriptural backing for your condemnation.

luluosas:
god of chosen promoter here on nairaland, are sure you read, understand and digest what @gazilion posted before you termed it Best post so far? Oh! I see. You stopped reading where he said he attended your services and vigil for sometime but, you failed to hear him when he said "I'm happy with the zeal of so many innocent members of the church. Something happened that made me leave with my family. I prayed fervently and the revelations I got were not exciting. I can say with cautious trepidation - knowing the eternal consequence of the deceived that those who are there, should pray fervently and ask God for the truth of the situation".
I quoted him here for your understanding.
