Thanks for the write-up. Absorb the insults. It goes with the spirit of the age. Concerning worship, many are yet to understand anything about it. Where is the reverence, the awe that made angels cover their faces and men removed their footwares? Grace abused is at the root of all the confusion. |

Barywhyte:Amen bro. A poor opinion of scriptures has birthed all this Pentecostal madness you see in Nigeria. A pastor wakes up and commands his congregation to have MouthAction with him and nobody questions because 'Spirit' is speaking. God has exalted His word above His name, holding the Word any lower than this is blasphemy, extremely foolish and is the foundation for deception 1 Like |

faustinalove:Paul was equally loveless and antiChrist when he called Galatians foolish right? You don't diminish scriptures and replace them with your own imagination which you then call 'Spirit'. How do you test 'Spirit' apart form the Word of God? This is a dangerous heresy here bro, that all you need is 'Spirit' not scriptures 1 Like |

babafemi1000:I don't know scriptures more than him and nor have I claimed thus. When you correct a Christian practice, you should do it with scriptures because this is God's yardstick for correcting, reproving us. You can't just say, 'this is wrong!' Say instead, ' this is wrong because the Word of God......' When Jesus was confronted by Satan, He said 'It is WRITTEN.....' A Christian ought to follow his master 2 Likes |

faustinalove:There has been misplaced emphasis after the demise of the Apostles. Instead of resting on the Spirit we are resting on the word like the word give the understanding and power. The Apostle spoke explicitly on various things not written in the OT yet the believers understand what they are saying without a Scripture to justify it from the OT because the Spirit is alive in them and they depend on him. There was no Bible in the early church yet they understand all. However, the time has come to restore the emphasis on The Spirit rather than the written word. Time to live by the Spirit instead of Living by the written word. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Barywhyte:If you read patiently, I said, the Spirit will imprint the understanding on the heart of whoever reads it. While you read the post, scriptures pop up in your mind justifying the Truth in it. That's the faith I have in God and which have never failed. |

Highcuerayte: (Forgive my typos for I write from my phone) Though you sound knonledgebale, I see u have zero knowledge pertaining to faith, If you will humble your self and read perharps your level of understanding will increase. Faith IS SUBSTANCE of what YOU HOPE for........EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN, in other words faith is Accepting something as true even when your eyes and other senses can't see, feel or touch them. In other words before you can receive something from God...you have to have it within you AS AN ALREADY DONE deed. But not visible to your eyes, that's why Jesus said whosevr shall say.... And shall not DOUBT In his HEART......therefore whatsoever things ye desire BELIEVE,YE RECEIVE(urs eyes can't see at this stage) and ye shall have(u eyes will see, cos it becomes physical). Don't be religious in your thinking...you don't need to kneel before any man, what you need is the word of God(bible) and look for what it says concerning your desire and if God says he's done it for then stand on that word by faith. Why did you think Jesus marveled at the centurian that said master speak only the words and my servant will be healed...? Because others including his disciples peter who had a sick mother at home, ete didn't understnad that its according to its individuals faith( heart faith) (faith that believes with out seeing) so they and you thought jesus, pastors etc have to come and do some magic, no the word concerning all our needs are in the bible, just believe it. God doesn't respond to tears or please, he responds to your faith... And you have a part to play, by beleieving that your request is granted, even when your physical senses tell you other wise. Stop kneeling infront of people thinkin that's what will get you result. Don't be religious... Even Jesus said when ye STAND praying...check ya bible(not saying there's anything wrong in kneeling tho). Faith with out works is dead, so if u think a man will pray for the sick and the sick man goes back to bed and keeps compliang about symtons etc, such sick man will not be healed...even when such a person is healed, he will loose it, cos faith is evidence of things not seen, and its unto you according to your faith. If still want to argue,pls don't quote me, for I can't help you any further, ask the holy ghost to ipen the eyes of your understanding. Lest I forget there's a LAW of faith, hence faith doesn't fail, for its a law like gravity |

Highcuerayte: And while those ideas were being 'imprinted' in your mind, did any scriptures not 'pop up' in your mind as a confirmation of what the spirit is giving you? |
Re: Misconceptions You Should Clear Of Your Mind As Saints Of God by Highcuerayte: 11:13am On Nov 29, 2015 |
Barywhyte:We are saying the same thing bro. I didn't put those Scriptures but the Scriptures were brought up to support what you are reading. Seeing that those Scriptures will be brought up I thought it unnecessary to include them again. |

Barywhyte: [b]FOR BELIEVING AND ACCEPTING THE AUTHORITY OF A BOOK THAT WAS FRAUDULENTLY PUT TOGETHER AND INTERSPERSED WITH ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIAN FOLKLORE, YOU ARE, IN DEED, THE GREATEST FOOL ON THIS PLANET. GO AND EDUCATE YOURSELF AND FREE YOURSELF FROM THE NONSENSE CALLED RELIGION. THE PSALM YOU WERE REFERRING TO WAS ALLEGEDLY WRITTEN BY DAVID WHO WAS A BAD RULER/KING, A TREACHEROUS MAN, A CHEAT, AN ADULTERER, A WOMANISER, A HEARTLESS MURDERER, AND A BAD FATHER WHOSE SON, AMMON, NOT ONLY DEFLOWERED HER OWN SISTER, TAMAR, BUT ALSO KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER ABSALOM. LIKE FATHER. LIKE SON. NOW, IS THAT A GODLY MAN OR GODLY FAMILY? AND WHY SHOULD I ATTACH ANY SERIOUSNESS TO ANYTHING SAID BY THIS IDIOT CALLED DAVID? AND WHY SHOULD ANYONE TAKE SERIOUS A GOD WHO DESCRIBES THIS IDIOT AS A MAN AFTER HIS (GOD'S) OWN HEART? WHO ON THIS THREAD WOULD CALL AN ADULTERER, A MURDERER, A CHEAT AND A TREACHEROUS PERSON A MAN OR WOMAN AFTER THEIR OWN HEART? NIGERIANS NEED TO WISE UP AND STOP BEING SILLY/FOOLS?[/b] 1 Like |

cescky:We are saying the same thing. From what I see the use of "Kneeling" sparks the confusion. I used kneeling because that's the mindset of Nigerians. I myself don't do religion,i don't have one. If you read my post on Faith I said it simply means "trusting God" which also is the summation of what you wrote there |

Highcuerayte:This is the most infantile statement I've heard from an obviously educated person. You are a black African and nothing can make you a Jew. A bible telling you accepting Jesus makes you a Jew mocks God. If God created everything and saw it as good, I wonder what makes a Jew different from other people. It's ideas like this that has made people look the other way when Israel commit war crimes. Religion is a scam. |

oglalasioux: Mr man,the bible is a spiritual book and can't be comprehended by the mind...its a coded book which only spiritual people unlock every now and then. Yes he's a black man physically, but a jew spiritually, God isn't intrested in the physical look of things but the spiritual, hence he seeks those who will worship him in SPIRIT and in truth(character).because he's not a physical being but a spiritual being. And man has a a spirit (which is the true man) and its mans spirit that controls his body,)which is a container for his spirit) Stop condeming what u understand not |

Barywhyte: I WAS A CHRISTIAN AND I KNOW THE BIBLE INSIDE OUT. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE CHURCH BECAUSE I WAS BORN AND BRED WITHIN IT. BUT SORRY TO SAY, THERE IS NOTHING HOLY ABOUT THE CHURCH. LIKE OTHER RELIGIOUS (JEWISH, ISLAMIC, HINDU, SIKH, BUDDHIST) BODIES, IT IS FULL OF PEOPLE LIKE KING DAVID WITH ALL THEIR APPURTENANCES. RELIGION IS A FRAUD. PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY AFRICANS NEED TO WAKE UP AND REJECT IT. EUROPE DID SO DURING THE ENLIGHTENMENT CULMINATING IN THE VANTAGE POSITION THEY OCCUPY IN THE WORLD TODAY. AFRICA NEED TO IMBIBE REASON AND REJECT BELIEF. OTHERWISE IT WOULD REMAIN BEHIND FOREVER. 1 Like 1 Share |

Highcuerayte:Can you give one thing the apostles taught that was never taught in the OT? And further, why would you EQUATE yourself with apostles, men who Jesus entrusted with His Word? And I asked this question. How could you learn of anything outside scriptures? How do you know those impressions in your mind are of God or Satan? You can only do this by defaulting to scriptures my broda. Islam was started when somebody started catching visions without caring whether they conformed to scriptures. Same case with Mormons. Private and personal revelation can only be tested by scriptures else anything goes. See this wonderful verse teaching you the benefits of scriptures

EreluY: That's where you have it wrong..its not, I don't know that guy from adam..but I stand by what he says for so many reasons...eg many of the things I hear preachers about, I've heard similar things in my quite times in the secrecy of my bedroom with God...whose telling me these things? Its God expling the bible to me and what these annointed men preach is the same with the unxderstanding I've received in secret.. See through wisdom,people like you refused to beleiev in God, so God did something foolish, ( to the mind thoug not to the spsirit)and said if they will only BELIEVe the foolish message of the cross, they will be saved...yet people still are rejecting him. Take a look around where you are, the phone, laptop etc furnisure wre all gotten from the soil..you see that the soil provides humanity with all its needs and never quits...think madam think, who or what do you think is the power behind that soil, yet people don't want to accept or acknowlege Him and even to the regular human mind that's easily being wicked... Think Just for a second..if what the bible says is actually true and u stand before God on the last day..what next? You'll claim ignorance? Or what really will u say? Its better to be foolish in this world and gain the one to come, than be wise and loose. Besides the bible is the most inspiritaional book ever written, all books borrwed from the bible and it only teaches higher values to give u a better life. Do you know the democracy we practice as a concept was borrowed from the bible? |

cescky:Thanks for the observation. But are you saying God made a mistake of giving us black spirits and wants to change it to Jewish spirit through Jesus? If your answer will be that it is the devil that gave us black spirit I'll ask you; why was the devil allowed such power and why has he has it for millennia and counting? If you ponder these two questions you'll see religions do nothing but mock God. They make Him helpless and gasping. Once you emancipate yourself from the religions, you'll begin to appreciate God and His works. |
