Why do we have so Many Church Denominations in Christianity by ettaetta(m): 3:47pm On May 05, 2016 |
Last saturday while going to work i met an evangelist who invited me to their church,i told him i have my own church but he pleaded with me not to miss the program that its very important. I told him well i will try. He gave me a hand bll. I didnt walk up to a 5minute distance when a sister from a diffrent church also stopped me and invited me to her church progam too. She also said i shouldnt miss dat its very important. This time i burst into laughter and told her another brother from a diffrent church just invited me to their church too on the same date which was sunday. She smiled and still gave me a hand bill and i walk away. As i was going i started contemplating about how people open churches here and there when we only have one God. As a christian have never seen any where in the bible where Jesus said people should open diffrent churches every day before we can serve God. In my own opinion i think we are supposed to have only one church where christians are united and not diffrent church denominations and diffrent doctrines most of all this new churches are opened because the pastor just wants to make money from his members. This is not really what the bible teaches. |

Because the bible is riddled with contradictions which can support an infinite number of worldviews depending on who's doing the cherry-picking and what their biases are. 3 Likes |

mustymatic:okay bro lets start with this am using NIV 1 Chronicles 21:12 ► New International Version three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD--days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.' Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me. 2 Samuel 24:13 ► New International Version So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come on you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me." are there not saying the samething? Or which translation are you using, let me check. |
Re: Why do we have so Many Church Denominations in Christianity by mustymatic(m): 10:01am On May 06, 2016 |
ettaetta:2 Samuel 24:13 KJV:So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 1 Chronicles 21:12 KJV:Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. I think not...check King James version, they're not saying d same thing. Go further |

ettaetta:Do you know how wonderful you are? When Christ comes, be sure to tell Him 'Lord, its because there are too many denominations that's why i am not saved'. We come to you for your soul, not your money. How much money do you have? They are somany young men and women under church's scholarship. Cburches pays rent for so many, there are actually hostel like kind of accommodations for people who cant afford to pay their rents. There's Gilead Medical department where church members who are medical personnel give free services to those who need them. Every widow's child is on scholarship from primary to the university Level. Hospital and Prisons/ Orphanages outreaches, the church members volunteering to give their money and time to put smiles on people's faces. But miserable you will stand aside a badmouth the church. Wait and Pray that the Antichrist meets you alive, you will see the difference. |

[quote author=ettaetta post=45363110][/quote] I thought you said you were a christian? what kind of Christian are you? What does your Bible say about this time in the world's History? hasn't your Bible warned you already to expect these things? Soldiers do not kill their wounded, they rescue them, but you open a thread to denigrate the Church and evangelism. We are doing what Christ enjoins us to do, but instead of doing the same, you take sides with the atheistic seeds of Satan and cast aspersions on Pastors. When we go out for evangelism, we invite you to Christ, if you are saved, you shd just as well move on or better still use that track to invite someone else. it was actually the right thing they did to invite you over and over. If A missed you, let B not miss you. You must feel special, to think we abandon our jobs and business to reach out you. When we stand before Christ, for Christians we shall all line up to be rewarded according to what we did here on earth. I wonder what your reward will be. Listen, every man for himself, God for us all. If your excuse is too many denominations that's why you are not saved, then, hmmm Continue deriding Pastors, your reward is at hand. |

mustymatic:I usually wonder the double standardness of Muslim. when you want to give credence to Muhammad's prophethood and to convince yourselves that allah is God, you claim allah is Yahweh and David the Jew was an Arabic prophet, but turn around to denigrate this same God who is suppose to be allah. Do you people reason? Shifting from foot to foot, is satanic. |

ettaetta: If i persuade you to come to Christ, that's not to say, without you Christ will be less of Christ. I preach the gospel of Christ, but not from a disadvantaged point. Don't you ever think that Christ is helplessly standing out there begging for you to come to him in other for him not to lose his throne. Everything he did and is doing, is for your own good, if you choose to ignore his love, then pass on. if you dare cast aspersions on my faith, I will tell you that we are not weak. Jesus may have tight our hands, he didn't tie my mouth. |

ettaetta:what truth do you stand for? what wont you coverup? Let me ask you this; Are you saved? If yes answer this; When did you give your life to christ? (The day you were born in the flesh, you know and remember to celebrate) when were you born spirirually? What is the Testimony of your Conversion? (Everyone must have a reversal point where you get to and decides, am not going no further and turns back) if you don't have it, then you are just in church. what is your Assurance of Salvation? How do you know that you are indeed saved? As a christian, i am a watcher on the Wall. when i see my brethren in error, i don't pick a mega phone and start castigation him, i pick him up in prayer, because i know the adversary is unto him. We are all on one side, Satan and his Hordes are on the other side. The ministry of Condemnation is the ministry of satan. But the Ministry of Reconciliation is the ministry of Christ handed down to us. When you stand and say what the satanic seeds, whether they be Satanists, atheists, Muslims, gay, lesbians or any other sec. Just know You have taken a side. You can't be here and there. |

ettaetta:I see!!!! That is where he tight my hands, show me where he tied my mouth. you see, you satanist, take advantage of that very fact and do all you do to Christians, but time shall tell. Christ gave me Power to cast the demon in you out. |
