Being spiritual does not mean that you should suspend your brain"

Pastor Sam Adeyemi just hit the nail on the head with this statement... Most Christians now are so engrossed with this spiritual thing that they forget that they are humans. Can you just imagine, a lady who caught her fiance having sex with his blood sister and still went ahead to marry Him claiming God will change him later. After the wedding, he was caught on several cases with the maid and other ladies. Now the lady wants a divorce. It's just not making sense...

Bishop Oyedepo once said "The reason why God gave us brain is for us to disturb Him less..."

My fellow Christians, let's stop disturbing God with prayers over silly things that common sense can solve... God has better things to deal with rather than dwell on your stupidity...

I won't want to talk too much. On this note, I rest my case! I'm sorry if I'm too harsh with my words.
Happy Sunday guys!

Yes religion has done more harm than good to Nigeria. But whoever​ told you that Jesus is white did something more harmful to you

Thanks

Are u sure

Sense fall on Christians

All I can say is,

God's ways are different from Man's ways,

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day".
2Peter 3:8


Having said this; no man should act like they know what's in the mind of God.
God is not man.
Read your bible yourself,
Get the conviction yourself and don't let any pastor tell you what the Lord said.

Great words.

Yes, we must use our God given brain to think and solve problems. God must however be involved in every bit and detail. This is not disturbing God. He said in His word:

"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full"- John 16:24

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight"-Prov3:5-6

This is not "Spiritualising" everything and is not the same as marrying a sinner saying God will change him after marriage.

Thanks, OP

My folks have started calling me names for making them see the scam in religion.

all religions must be truthful. the essences of religions is to give its followers the truth raw, unbiased, unprocessed. but religious beliefs in Nigeria today makes it looks as if that if you don't follow thier beliefs , you are a sinner. that's the greatest blasphemy of them all. if you are not part of any religious body you are not a sinner. infact you are holier than most of them all. factionalism and politics are what we have in religious bodies today. and that is the major cause of world problems.

was Jesus a negro?

it takes suspending your brain to believe:

talking snakes

talking donkeys

stationary sun standing still

virgin birth

a Jew turned water to wine

feeding 5,000 men, not counting women and children, which might have placed the number at 10,000, maybe more with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes........then having 12 basketfuls of uneaten leftovers

red sea parting and people walked through it - on dry land

a man with plenty hair killing a thousand soldiers with the jaw of a donkey then getting outwitted by a girl who gave her plans away four different times but he was too dumb

believing a valley containing lots of dry bones that's been there for years was given flesh and blood and they all rose (where did those raised bodies go from there?)

Jacob getting his plain skinned cattle to look at stripped trees when copulating so they can give birth to stripped cattle and it worked!

3 boys walking comfortably in an oven that's so hot that it's smoke killed the soldiers that escorted them there

it takes suspending your brain to believe An all-knowing rational God magically made a pair of fully grown Adam/Eve and then with the prior knowledge that the novice fresh-out-of-oven Adam/Eve have had no childhood, no education, no interaction with others, and no used-car salesman experience, the rational God decided to slap a sin on them by setting them up to be outwitted by a talking snake to disobey his almighty self, causing his mighty self to pout and huff like a child storming off only to come back disguised as his son to torture and sacrifice his mighty self to forgive the petty fruit eating mishap he had irrationally caused to begin with and educate us with a moral book that teaches how to buy slaves, how to beat slaves, how to enslave children, how to sell daughters, how to downgrade woman by telling them to keep quiet, and how to slaughtering an entire nearby nations including their infants. LOL. Religion has got the duped gullible naive by the balls.

Here na free entrance bt if na muslem nw...

But it's sad that common sense has been thrown out the window in this part of the world.

The major mistakes most Christians make is believing that when you say amen to a post or comments on facebook or elsewhere, then all is answered. They forget to work out their salvation (deliverance) with fear and trembling. There is no magical route to success. It is only in the dictionary that success comes before work. They seldom pray and even in prayer, it's clear they don't even know who or what their God is.

Is it not written, "They that know their god shall be strong and they shall do exploits.,"?

Religion has ravaged and impeded the African mindset

This is not only applicable to Christianity, I see Religion as an issue here.

Thier main mistake is that they deviate from the real teaching of Jesus

1. Jesus taught that there is only One God and Only God
should be worshipped as taught in Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29.
Muslims also believe this as taught in the Qur’an verse
4:171.

2. Jesus didn’t eat pork as taught in Leviticus 11:7 , and neither do Muslims as taught in the Qur’an verse 6:145.

3. Jesus greeted with the words “as salaamualaikum” (Peace be with you) in John 20:21. Muslims also
greet each other this way.

4. Jesus always said “God Willing” (inshallah), Muslims say this too before doing anything as taught in the Qur’an verses 18:23-24.

5. Jesus washed his face, hands, and feet before praying.
The Muslims do the same.

6. Jesus and other prophets of the Bible prayed with their head to the ground (see Matthew 26:39). Muslims do too as
taught in the Qur’an verse 3:43.

7. Jesus had a beard and wore a throbe. It is Sunnah for Muslim men to do the same.

8. Jesus followed the law and believed in all the prophets, (see Matthew 5:17). Muslims do too as taught in the Qur’an
verses 3:84, and 2:285.

9. Jesus’ mother Maryam dressed modestly by fully
covering her body and wearing a headscarf (hijab) as found in 1 Timothy 2:9, Genesis 24:64-65, and Corinthians 11:6.
Muslim women modestly dress the same as taught in the Qur’an verse 33:59.

10. Jesus and other prophets of the Bible fasted up to 40 days (see Exodus 34:28, Daniel 10:2-6. 1Kings 19:8, and Matthew 4:1-Muslims do so also during the month of Ramadan. Muslims are required to fast the full obligatory 30 days (see Qur’an 2:183), and others take it a step further
by fasting an additional 6 days to increase their rewards.

11. Jesus taught to say “Peace to this house” when
entering it (see Luke 10:5), and to also greet the people in the house with “peace be unto you”. Muslims do exactly what Jesus did and taught. When we enter our homes and the homes of others we say “Bismillah” and also greet with
“as salaamu alaikum” (peace be upon you) as taught in the
Qur’an verse 24:61.

12. Jesus was circumcised. Circumcision is 1 of the 5 fitrah in Islam, so Muslim men are required to be circumcised.
According to the Bible in Luke 2:21, Jesus was eight days old when he was circumcised. In the Torah, Allah/God stated to the Prophet Abraham that it is an “Everlasting covenant” (see Genesis 17:13). In the Qur’an verse 16:123
Muslims are required to follow the religion of Abraham. The Prophet Muhammad said, “The Prophet Abraham
circumcised himself when he was eighty years old.”

13. Jesus spoke aramaic and called God”Elah”, which is pronounced the same as “Allah”. Aramaic is an ancient, Biblical language. It is one of the Semitic languages that also include Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic and the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian language of Akkadian.
The Aramaic”Elah” and the Arabic “Allah” are the same.
The Aramaic “Elah” is derived from the Arabic “Allah”, and it
means “GOD”. “Allah” in Arabic also means”GOD”, the Supreme GOD Almighty. You can easily see the similarity in their pronunciation so this concludes that the God of Jesus is also the God of the Muslims, of all mankind, and all that exist.

Seek the truth and it will set you free
