But to be fair, those unauthorised publishers are not doing it for the reason of sharing the gospel but for money-making reasons hence RCCG is right about this.

RCCG should then deregister as a Non Profit Organisation And reregister as a limited liability company or better as a PLC, since it must always make profit.

easy oooo jeje...take it slowly

Our pastorpreneurs will never ever quote these bible verses. Infact, if they had their way, the verses would have been removed a long time ago because it is not good for their church businesses.

The word used is unauthorised. There should not be any unauthorised publication of the book. It is a criminal and legal offence. It can lead to plagiatism. And the integrity of the content would be lost.

The only publication that may be allowed must agree with "fair use"


Kindly research on copyright before you quote me

Freeze will continue to win You say?

Win on Social Media or REALITY?

Today, there are people that kick against every step Mark Zuckerberg takes. There are folks who malign Bill Gates and Dangote. Their reasons are just and true.

BUT HOW HAS THAT CHANGED ANYTHING. THEY ARE STILL MAKING PROGRESS more than those crirists.

Unless you won't be great some day but if you will be, you will get your fair share of criticism.

That's why truly GREAT MEN don't go to social media to cast down other GREAT MEN. It won't be long before they got their blows.

Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo got born again by reading a discarded christian tract when he was in a drunken state.

Why can't they let it circulate since it contain God's words. If people are blessed by it, they will sow back into the church.

That is still not an excuse. If they give it out for free, no hawker will sell it because nobody will buy. Now that it is being hoarded, it will be an even bigger Avenue for individuals to reproduce and sell at a higher price.

Read my post again, the subject of my post is neither Freeze nor RCCG. Let me repeat for you..."Without Love, there is no Christianity". Any activity or action of the church that is not borne out of love further hurts Christianity. Infact in the presence of love, the argument on tithing would not come up in the first place.....go figure

Xda59:


Sales and revenue over salvation and winning souls to God? Let the truth be told, this is not christianity.

adapted copies?? What happened to freely ye receive, freely give."The word of God? Or is ur gods different?...mammon.com ...shame on ole pastors

Daddy Freeze known for this freetTheSheeple movement, just posted this on his Instagram page.

What is calling for attention is the information on the third paragraph of the memo, below.

So, He is asking if the memo is actually from Redeemed Christian Church Of God.

If they draw inspiration and ideas from the bible then I guess what goes around comes around. These books allegedly contain words powerful enough to heal the sick, lead people to Christ, mend the broken, etc so I don't think it should be treated like any other book. I can understand misquotations but did you read the circular? Sharing it is supposed to help its purpose but they felt this is the best way to handle it, like any other commercial book. They can as well apply the 'like any other' clause to paying tax for church collections.

Now this is the crux of the matter, There is no Christianity without love. Infact, the bible clearly stated that the greatest of all the commandment is love. Gideons international share free bible, Jehovah witness issue monthly publications free of charge, churches all over the west contribute immensely towards free outreach in Africa.

The problem the Nigerian churches face today is the absence of love in the practice of Christianity. Jesus died because of love, almost all the miracles by Jesus in the bible were borne out of love.

The early missionaries who brought Christianity went through untold hardship and death in the hand of malaria, many diseases and boat mishaps.... yet they were determined to bring us the gospel with the accompanying free schools, medical care, technology etc.

Unfortunately, what we have in Nigerian churches is greed, envy, hate and gross materialism. How can churches sit back and watch the multi-suffering of its members and yet seek to take away their money in the name of offering, tithe, first fruit etc? Tithing in the old testament was borne out of love "so that there will be meat in the house".... for everyone. In the absence of love, any teaching on giving is useless.

Infact, the state of our society is the reflection of the state of the church. The alarming lack of love is the major difference between the western and African society. That nature of our politics, economy, security etc is lack of love. If the church which should be the biblical lamp is hiding its love under the bushel...... how exactly do they intend to project Christ. Unfortunately, the Nigerian church spends more time defending its unloving practices than draw men to Christ.

Freeze will continue to win until the Church retraces its step back to Love because Love is the greatest. Without Love, Christianity cannot survive. Without Love, our fore fathers would never have left their traditional practices for Christianity.
