Did you read that 1cor 11 very well. I'll advise you read it again and if possible in different versions of the bible .
It wasn't a directive but and advice so that they don't look different from other churches then.
Verse 5 clearly shows that it was a Jewish custom (tradition)

porka:
Pastor Kumuyi has been trying lately to unfetter the members of his church from unnecessary dogma and traditions of men, which had made his congregation shrink and unappealing to the younger generation and therefore not having any future sustainability.

He is trying to untie them from dangerous beliefs that they had previously assumed are the manifestations of holiness, but which are mere human standards.

But in doing this, baba has sometimes got more people confused than before. In this case of women covering their head in the church, it is clearly written in the scripture he quoted (1 Corinthians 11:5). So one wonders what exactly is the trouble if an usher demands that a woman should cover her head at the entrance of the church.

Maybe prophecy is not general, giving that prophecy is a gift for a select few, which makes it exclusive, but can anyone enter the church and not pray? The rest of the verses in the chapter explained the whole issue clearly (from 1 Corinthians 11:6).

Pastor Kumuyi should be careful in throwing his church into confusion. The younger generation that he is trying to attract are even the ones that need biblical guidance from their entitlement tendencies. They should not be indulged to create their own rules.

Baba should know that it is not everyone that will be comfortable coming to the church. There is nothing wrong in women covering their head in the church. Christianity is accepted by faith.

tishbite42:

Man stop lying
I was born and bred in DLBC
TV was called the devil's box
He started deviating when he started live transmission.

Yes he called TV devil's box.
But do you know what TV was called at that time - outside the church?

It was called "idiot box" (just type the word on Google and see what it brings out).

Now, does it mean that people who watch TV then are idiots, because it's called idiot's box?

We still have the message at home.

You will understand the whole context better when you watch the full message.

safesurfer:

Kumuyi never said watching TV is a sin.

Why then were deeper life members not having tv in their homes?

safesurfer:

"do not watch television" - he never said that at any time but it's a long story. One that either exposes the ignorance or malice of his haters at that time (the 1980's)

For instance, have you ever wondered why something like "television has done more harm than good to Nigerian srudents" debates always feature in secondary schools and even SSCE questions in the past (pre 2003) but rarely ever does these days?

Modified: and even as a deeper life member, I don't believe that wearing trouser, as a woman, is a sin. BUT church rules are church rules.

But do you think deeperlifers will wear trousers on the future?

Kai, dose gals wan use hair odour wound baba. Damn!!

Karleb:


They will get there. They will even start wearing bum shorts but at home for their husbands sha.

Guy u made my day. My laugh here no be small. Nairalanders una funny die

reservd:
Was he also referring to first timers when he said women no longer look attractive to their husbands or young ladies not presentable? Is he just noticing how his members and followers dress?

Oga he preaches this exact message from time to time when marriage based topics come up. It's not a new message to lifers.

Jflex07:
But do you think deeperlifers will wear trousers on the future?

I think so. I pray so.

Righthussle:
Yesterday: Every woman must cover her head very well before entering the house of God.

Today: Story don change

Yesterday: Television belongs to the devil,don't watch it.

Today: Television is good for the Gospel.


Confused scammers.

You steal from the poor to build schools that their children and grand children can not attend.

Pulpit bandit. Old liar. You made my grandmother give you 10 percent of her farm produce for nearly 20 years only for you to use the money to build expensive secondary schools and university and buy exotic cars.

STOP GIVING THESE THIEVES YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. WHOEVER MADE THIS UNIVERSE CANNOT AND WILL NEVER NEED MONEY FOR ANY!!!! THING.

I've been giving them money for 22years and my life has become better now so how can I listen to the heresy ure saying

Oga Kumuyi has gone nuts again.Baba God pls help Nigeria and this generation.

Oga, stop deceiving yourself
Now, it's now Jesus or holiness box abi
Kumuyi should apologise to those whose lives he derailed because they foolishly followed his doctrines

Righteousness2:
The day you misinterpret dressing shabbily as covering up yourself properly , or not dressing shabbily as dressing Seductively or dressing naked, just know that the devil has sealed and signed you for Destruction and Hell.

Be properly dressed. Be neat. Cover up yourself properly.

As a woman don't put on men clothing.
As a man don't put on women's clothings.
Doing such is abomination. That is the word of God.

You MOGs always know how to judge vita issues to confuse God's followers, oga is covering or opening of female hair right or not in the house of God? You couldn't place it well in your comment sir. Tell us what it is please.

All a business strategy. The older generation that used to pay tithes are now dead or retirees now. Baba wan appeal to the younger generation. Bunch of scammers

Finally, Pastor Kumuyi has taken courage to address this issue. You can't be a Bible student and not find out the truth with time.

The church is gradually coming to the unity of faith. Very soon, he will address the issue of putting on trousers.

Covering of head is not even supposed to be a doctrine to start with. For anything to be a doctrine, it must have at least two witnesses. But this issue was only addressed in one passage of the Bible.

Even Apostle Paul who introduced it concluded that it is not binding on the church.

And you think it is the money that has made your life better ?

CheapHomes1:


Why then did were deeper life members not having tv in their homes?

Because it was ignorance on their part.
We were, and still are, deeper life members.
We had television in our house. Many of our members that I know had TV in their houses too.

He referred to TV as devil's box.
TV was referred to as idiot box in those days. Confirm from Google.

He only took the idiom to a religious extent, warning members that uncontrolled use of the 'box' will make it a tool in the hand of Satan to derail believers from God's purpose for their lives.
And if they couldn't control the use of it, then they better do away with it.

That's the summarised context of that message.

We still have the radio cassette in our house. Unfortunately, we don't have radio that uses cassette anymore.

Kumuyi is not responsible for your frustration.
Stop venting your rage on him.
Why do you give political thieves in government your taxes?
What has Nigeria done with your taxes?
You're not serious.
We will continue to give our money to God.
You give yours to alcoholism, womanizing, partying and gambling
Leave us to spend our own money anyhow we choose.
Shalom.

Thank you Sir.

It is sign of maturity to see the fault or mistake in the system and you take responsibility to correct it.

I agree that the hair needs fresh air.

No, na Mosque. You unrepentant serial sinner. Because dem no dey allow your prostituting female friends to be nakked in Church like they do in Oyakhilome and Okotie's business centres.

What are men clothing please?
Please also lead me to bible text that specifically mention which are men or women clothing.

Why are asked the above questions, is because where you live determine the specific clothe men or women wear.
There are some cultures that their men wear rappers and there are some cultures that their women put on trousers because of the peculiarity of their weather. Please more clarification.

Finally, in your submission you did not place in perspective the issue Pst. Kumuyi raised about covering of head. Was Pst. Kumuyi right or wrong? If he is right or wrong, give biblical direction.

It was never a Bible doctrine. Just a church rule which can change over time.
Why do people make it look like its a bad thing?

Did you even read thru what was written there?
