kunleoshob's lunatic post had me laughing. I love sleep, and there is nothing more annoying than someone blaring into a megaphone on the streets, I don't care how well-intentioned.I bet they've precious few converts to show for something so thoughtless. There's nothing charitable or loving about disturbing other people's rest, which they'd realise if they were thinking of other people in the first place. When I do take the bus and someone's preaching, I generally don't mind and sometimes give money, if it's well-conducted. If it's annoying I read a book or stare out the window. If the person engages me in any way and ignores my not-so-subtle hints to be left alone,I'll more likely than not sock im.

Molues are generally very noisy anyway. So it wont matter too much that someone is preaching the word. You either listen to it or switch your mind to the general noise.

@ all, i'm really shocked that admin will let madamkoko diss people for what they believe in like this. just read through and i'm appalled. that's just not right. we should be able to disagree without resorting to insults and direspectful comments.

Learn to tell both sides of the story.

So if I stand up to preach on a bus, you take that to mean that you should give me money simply because it's your money? what a thought system!
No wonder we are the way we are. . . we constantly think that money is all that anyone and everyone thinks about  Cry

Well it is the purpose of God that all men be saved.It is therefore a commission from christ for those that are saved to go and reach the world which includes ones locality-Mathew 28:19-20.
Christianity actually is all about relationship which most people don't consider in reaching out to others.If truely they can be very brief and concise in their message,i believe they could make impact while preaching the world.After all every message should center on salvation.People are eager to here the word that will make impact in their life's and it is the word of God alone that can do this.
Freinds,if we can do it the right way, let's do it and make a difference.

I sort of assumed someone wouldn't ask for donations if it wasn't needed. And he's not holding a gun to my head, so I'm under no compulsion to accede to his request and give. If I do so, it's willingly, because the preacher's impressed me with his sincerity, and isn't shoving stuff down people's throats. A love for God is very hard to fake. What's your point?

What's your own point? why do you assume that you have to give someone money just because he preaches? Do you think that people preach because they need money?

I dont see anything wrong in preaching the gospel in the bus, bush or whereva. If you dont want to listen then block your ears or alight from the bus.

There is no law against this in Nigeria.

That is just the summary.
If the bus operators let preachers preach in buses,
maybe before individuals get on and pay their money, they should ask the driver if he allows preaching and if they say yes, you get off and find another bus.
It's not illegal to preach.
It is a way of life in Nigeria
Folks deal with it or buy a car and stop jumping molue Wink

This is getting silly. Just respond to the post,okay? I'm not interested in a dispute over whether I should give donations to bus preachers if I felt like it.

Just because there's no law for them yet don't mean that the practise should be bastardized. We are not born with all the laws, laws are made as the case arise. I'm not against preaching in the bus, I'm only against the method of delivery or approach

yes. It's getting silly.
Why should you assume that preaching on a bus means that the person needs your money? So if I stand up to preach on a bus, that means I want people to give me money? I met a wealthy man who preaches on buses some years ago. So you think he needs your money is the reason he's on the bus preaching.

who can not lie? jesus/god?

let me show you and example of where he lied in the bible

According to Jer. 42:17, Jews who choose to live in Egypt will all die and leave no remnant. But history shows that Jews continued to live there for centuries, later establishing a cultural center at Alexandria.

According to Isa. 17:1, Damascus will be destroyed, but in fact Damascus is one of the few ancient cities that has never been destroyed

This are just two of the lies there are so many others.

But all concerning the world is not said and done; or is it, in your mind?
