Hey Muslim, take your mouth outa here. When people are having a conversation, Muslims keep quiet.
I knew you were going to come at me. I am not a Muslim, never have been and will never be. Why you so insecure and rude. Can't you pretend as a Christian to be civil. So much for Christianity

Mujtahida:
Jesus (if he existed) at least the one in the bible has been so misconstrued by the churches and it seems to me that their work basically is to destroy his work.

All true spiritual leaders avoid making people dependent on them. They elevate you, they show you your God, they point out your path to you, they make you 'democratise' the voice of God. I find it disturbing that Adeboye and other 'men of God' stands to minister to thousands upon thousands of God's children. Is that how a father communicates with his children? No. This is what I think is happening: Adeboye has found his God, has recognised the voice of his God but instead of him to point others to their own God, to make them hear and obey their own God so that church becomes a place for fellowship not preaching, he keeps people dependent on his own God. And in this way the churches have centralised God. The churches have become the powers Jesus fought to free men from because for Christ the dignity of every man as a man stands above law, above institutions, above governments, above regulations and ceremonies, above the authority of other men. That is why jesus could stand on his authority and say 'you have heard it said to you an eye for an eye BUT I SAY TO YOU...

We too must stand on our own authority and speak,
we must rely on the power of our own words.
Only this way will men find freedom
28Then Peter called to him,
"Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water."
29“Yes, come,” Jesus said.

- Matthew 14:28-29

Everything else you wrote is a reality check,
the last sentence is a blemish on an otherwise beautiful soul-wrenching write up

No one has authority just on its own
The sooner, we consider and realise we are all accountable to something else, the better it is

It is pointless to rely on the power of your words alone
because words not underpinned by the Word is useless
Without the Word, the last sentence makes out like a real house of cards to me!
It lulls one into a false sense of freedom

Dont have to be a Christian, to be tolerated
If God can tolerate each and every religion man can devise up
what is me, a mere human, who is much much more lesser than God.

Oh i forgot that a Christian is everybody else's opposition. You are not a muslim but you are found everywhere attacking Christians in support of Islam.

1st and foremost, i'd not see you as an outcast dear. I'd rather see you as a "searcher for the truth". I like the fact that you acknowledged hitches,uncertainty when tryna use your fleshly strengths to keep up a spiritual life.

The concept of God to these men that had no bible was personal and oral. Oral tradition is what made Abram know that God hated idols and he destroyed his father's idols. Many of them just lived their lives out daily without caring about dedication to God, and that's why He kept doing the approach till he was known on a personal basis like in Noah times. it's why their shortcomings were excused. lemme not bore you with the 7 dispensations part. I'l pray for you to get that personal encounter. You aren't alone in this state, search. Even millions of self acclaimed christians have never had an encounter. Thus the value isnt sacrificial yet.


See king solomon, the wisest(highest attainment of human endeavors) when he forsook God. What life became to him when he forsook the Truth.
