Pastor Olu T: For me the prosperity gospel stands out. But I have this to say to all;

One thing and only one thing is needful, do not be deceived by the devil into getting too much attached to the things of the world. The devil is so subtle that he get you too busy even with good things and activities of religion, but not that which is needful. You major on the minor and minor on the major, and before you know it you have spent your life on the wrong things and it is too late.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou are careful and trouble about many things. But one thing is needful: And Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:40-42

Stay blessed and remain rapturable



well said...!

No chance. They prefer to submit to their bosses, sugar daddies, patrons, pastors, and so on - rather than to their boyfriends or husbands. The concept of 'independent woman' in Nigeria means being dependent on other men in order to be independent from the legitimate man in the woman's life, for shakara purposes.

Weird but you may have a point

If you think any part of the bible has been twisted. Why not pick a bible? Pray and ask God for insight into the deep and mysterious things in His word for understanding. May the Holyspirit being our teacher open the eyes of your innerman so as to see things from God's perspective and not your pastors'. The bible is for everyone read and gain knowledge and pray for wisdom so as to rightfully apply the knowledge gained.

What you said is so very true. Problem is, many men want to have their cake and icing without any effort on their part, lol.
exactly. They forget that they are to love like Jesus who died for us even while we were yet sinners.

The part where Apostle Paul said that which he wills he does not, and that which he doesn't want to do, that he does. Some ppl erroneously take it to mean than one cannot live without sin or that Paul was still struggling with sin. Again sb once told me the Bible said heaven helps those who help themselves to justify exam malpractice. That's not even in the Bible! cheesy

Handsomeemmy: According to Apostle peter in his second letter as recorded in the book of 2 Peter 3:16

2 Peter 3:16
English Standard Version (ESV)
16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters.There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction,as they do the other Scriptures.

So the question is what part do you think has been twisted by individuals, pastors etc for their own gains?

I think you should rename this thread as: "what part of the bible do people twist for selfish again?
The title of your OP gives an errornous impression that it is the bible that is twisted.

1. PROPHESY: where your so called pastor will just tell you something that God said, and you also will just take action immediately (Rom 8:14)
2. GIVING: even though paying of tithe, offering, donations are good and biblical, but the pastor will put it as if, you will die the next minute if you dont pay them, just for their own bank account
3. DRESSING: God is only concern about your heart and not your physical appearance. So therefore anything goes. That is why nudity is well pronounced in church than any where else
4. MARRIAGE: (Prov. 18:22) It is foolishness to think that God will speak to you about your marital partner, you are the one that will see someone you like and go ahead to propose or accept proposal. So God no longer speak to his own. I dont know the version of bible these pastors are reading...................

Are you sure that you did not mean to write:

"Which part of the Bible do you think has [i]NOT [/i]been twisted by people for selfish gain?"

U are right O, Ma Sister .... In d first century, when christians 'spoke in tongues', What they are saying had meaning to people who knew those LANGUAGES. (Acts 2:4,cool Today, is it not true that 'speaking in tongues' usually involves an ecstatic outburst of unintelligible sounds?
