SweetBuns:1. Make una dey use una head abeg! If your Chris's Healing stream even worked 1%, don't you think that the world have been aware of that by now and even documented and put it up against science itself? Stop deceiving yourselves with these silly claims. The man himself frequents the hospital when he is sick, so what does that tell you? 2. Even unbelievers who have never prayed a day in their lives equally experience some of the very same miracles you attribute to men like Chris, why? Because it is not Chris but God that pours out the same exact mercies daily on even the wicked and the ungrateful that he pours out on you churchians. Convincing yourselves that "Chris did it" is where you shoot yourselves in the foot, and head. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Churches are not useless,it's the followers and the pastors that are practicing it wrongly especially in the African continent. There is this wrong notion that it Is the pastor that will heal you and solve your spiritual problems,no,the church is to build your faith and beliefs,and when is done every other thing Will fall in place. Many pastors has noticed this and they have taken great advantage of it to swindle guilible adherents. Church is not useless. 1 Like |

godliman:God also heals people who don't believe in God including those who claim to hate Him; His healings are not in anyway attached to churches because instead God pours out His mercy/kindness daily on mankind, even on the wicked and the ungrateful. Your churches are simply fraud houses where people are taken advantage of by men who use the name of God to do so. 1 Like 1 Share |

I agree that there are many scam pastors now, infact listening to radio is enough to know The ones that are not selling oil and water are doing marketing for travel agents to carry people to Israel and Jordan But you must understand that God only heals not any pastor Jesus Christ told the blind man He heal, not to go back to sin else worst thing would happen Do you know some things are punishment from a misdeed and sin Everyone is going to die, and the utmost is that you reach heaven Many of the apostles were killed in gruesome ways, but they already saw where they were going Either in pain or not, the utmost is to serve God and be holy |

Your uncle went to a man in this case with a title (Pastor) and not God. He should have gone to God and going to God doesn't necessarily mean stepping out to anywhere. Afterall,Jesus indicated that the best prayer are said on our knees,alone, behind closed doors. The pertinent issue is did he have a personal relationship with God. It is better to have that relationship with God and go to him in terms of crisis than to allow crisis compel us to rush to God for a miracle. Even at that even with a relationship with him anything can happen! Remember,he said he'll have mercy on whom he chooses! A relationship with him increases your chances of victory over troubles. See,God is complete! He doesn't need you,it is you that needs him! So,you can decide to give up on God, he won't stop you for the same reason he hasn't compelled you to serve him!

Re: Why Churches Are Very Useless by coputa(m): 10:56am On Apr 28, 2023 |
1Sharon:Is mostly when you are doing the right thing that God's grace normally got activated.As a student you must study hard to pass your exams first before praying for grace, ditto a sick person who is sick should see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment first before backing it with prayers and maybe healing from a pastor. The pastor is not a doctor to consult when you are sick,the pastor is not your books to consult when you want to pass your exam.Grace always visits at the place of your works,Works in all ramifications.Grace doesn't come when you are doing the wrong thing. |

Kobojunkie:How does God pour blessing on the wicked,is it temporary blessings of the wicked that you termed God's blessings.Some wealthy people who got their wealth from the devil,some decades ago,are now the poorest in their locality.God's blessings endureth forever., the devil's is for a while. |

coputa:Jesus that healed randim people on the spot. Did Jesus ask them for doctors report first before healing This man went to many hospitals and was they found tumor. They told him he does not have much time left. The medical field already told him he has 50/50 chance of survival. They still told him to try chemotherapy which was expensive. So as a religious man he is He did chemotherapy and after that he came back to Nigeria and meet his pastor and his pastor told him to if ore what doctor said that Jesus will heal him completely. 1 Like 1 Share |

IamANigerianMan: God is not a magician but your Bible says "IT" parted the Red Sea? Not a magician yet Moses' rod turned into a snake, and the snake went on to swallow three other snakes which belonged to other magicians and afterwards returned to a snake. Not a magician the rivers turned into a pool of blood in Egypt? Not a magician yet Elia's(Elijah) called down fire from heaven and killed the first 2 50s of the soldiers who were sent to arrest him Not a magician yet Elisha poured in a handful of salt into the river and the water became healed instantly. Elisha my guy even used Elijah's mantle, smote the sea and it came in two whence Elisha walked back on dry land Not a magician, Jesus healed the person with a withered hand and the hand reinvigorated instantly at the presence of the Pharisees, Sadducees, High Priests, Teachers, Scholars, Tax collectors, Soldiers and even commoners. Not a magician yet Jesus laid hand on the woman who had the spirit of infirmity and she was healed while he yet speak Not a Magician yet Oral Roberts only held hands with people and they were said to be cured of all kinda disease. Not a Magician yet when Reinhard Bonnke came to Nigeria in 2006 , more than 100 thousands of people were said to have been cured of all kinds of sicknesses and diseases, even blindness and paralysis. Not a magician yet Benny Hinn, Oyakhilome, Peter Popoff and many more always hold open "staged" healing services. In one of Benny Hinn crusades , about 10 people were recorded to be Now tell me since you are the spokeperson and the P.A of this God, What is the difference between miracles and magic(I'm not saying an illusion). I mean a real Magic. When God does something ,He is a miracle worker, but when he does not, He is not a Magician. Walahi Talahi, ẹ̀ń ṣi èrè 1 Like |

northbird:Lazarus wey die wey Jesus wake up which faith him get? The mad man from whom Jesus sent out a legion of spirits which faith him get? When Jesus told Peter and Andrew to re-cast their net into the waters; they even ensued in an argument with Jesus to show the highest level of unbelief, yet they still caught much fishes despite their level of unbelief In Mark 9:20-26 lemme post just verse 24, 'The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”' And at the end it the day, that man's child was healed despite his unbelief. We can see several places in the Bible where many people who never had faith received bountiful miracles. You always find excuse for your God whenever he fails to live up to his hype. Now it was the man's faith; someone who refused going oversea for some random church didn't have faith? Do you guys think with your shoes, what took him to church in the first place if not his faith in Jesus . Why didn't he go to the mosque. 2 Likes |

coputa:Are you doing banters seriously, or are you for real? Huh! This is 21st century bro. What temporary blessings are there on your politicians? Just dey there dey whine yourself. Are you saying even people who made their money in a legit way don't go broke as well? What about Donald Trump who was a billionaire, bursted all his money to zero dollar and became a billionaire again? What of Napoleon Hills? A man who was so rich but later died a broke man. What of John Law? The richest man on Earth about 300 years ago, as a matter of fact he was the father of paper money yet he died pennyless; and many more , I can mention many on a roll. Okay, those ones are white. What of Anabor? A Nigerian billionaire who built his fortune thru hard labour and sweat, yet, ended up a taxi driver. What of Chief Francis a very rich man in Oyo Town in the 90s and early 2000 who also built his wealth thru hard labour but ended up broke. Nonetheless we've seen many people who got their wealth illegally and are still enjoying it since more then 50 years back to back. I would have been tempted to mention names but this is a faceless forum. Bro no dey whine yourself, God no dey give anybody blessings. 1 Like 1 Share |
