RB007:

I don't agree. Hoes go to church and they're even a part of the choir

they will stop in due time if Jesus tarries. It is better not to be in church at all.

assembly of saint are very important in Christiandom

oyedepo is not a saint.

So all the people that were in church that day are still alive? That was just her destined way to die. What then can you say about those that died in the church as a result of suicide bombings? Going or not going to church doesn't play a single role in how long people live on earth. So your point doesn't hold water

Which destined way? God's will is for us to live to well old age. God never designed man to die young or prematurely. It is the thief Devil that steals people's life.

A woman had a terrible fatal accident, lost a lot of blood but she was just declaring I shall live and not die. She was rushed to hospital, even in a coma state, as she was being operated she was subconsciously making the declaration. She survived. Later her doctor nicknamed her I shall live and not die.


When you understand that as a believer that you have a covenant of long life and you believe and stand on it. Nothing will kill you. You will have what you believe. But if you are ignorant, devil the thief will steal you blind. That's why it is dangerous to serve Satan or be an unbeliever. That person is a minced meat for the devil. But if you know whom you are, death will see you and run away.

omojeesu:


Church IS NOT, HAS NEVER BEEN & WILL NEVER BE a building, an organisation or location as we have redefined it. Church is family of God anywhere and everywhere. Jesus has simplified "church" as where and when 2 or 3 are gathered in His name be it some home, building, in prison, desert, bush, etc.

We don't go to church. We don't join a church. We are Church!

Jesus is Saviour of the Church = the assembly of God's people. The Church does not nor can save anyone.

Twist it the way it suits you. What the original post said is church as a church. Let me highlite the opening paragraph for you incase you missed it.

In 49 years since I was saved I have not missed Church on sunday up to 7 times.

In our early days, Emmanuel, one of our members was absent for 3 weeks. When he resurfaced, I said ‘Emmanuel, you are gone

Care to twist it more?

"Being in your church is a must," so you can extort money and steal from people who cannot think for themselves?

POOR NIGERIANS SHOULD STOP GIVING MONEY TO THEIR PASTORS. THE MONEY YOU GIVE DOES NOT GO TO GOD. THE PASTOR EATS IT, BY BUYING A CAR WITH IT AND BUILDING A NICE HOUSE FOR HIMSELF.

STOP BEING A FOOL TO OYEDEPO AND OTHER THIEVING PASTORS

OBAGADAFFI:
He is correct.

Hebrews 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

The assembly does not have to be in a building/gathering called church.
It can be a virtual discussion group online as well e.g. nairaland.
Exhortations is not limited to happening in a church building or gathering.

You mustn't be a Christian or Muslim to make heaven, you just have to live right..

To live right, you must FIRST learn to speak and act right.. You can't feign righteousness and outrightly condemn other people. It doesn't work like that.

Plus, living Faith no be church, na business enterprise. Church weh na youths plenty pass that one na church? Brothers and sisters meeting to discuss how to fvck. Example ""Winners Corpers Fellowship""

See wetin person wey de talk about "living right", open mouth de pour

Hypocrisy much?

The key word is gathering of believers. It can be in church, house fellowship, prayer group and Sunday church service is the primary way believers gather.

Where believers gather, there is a corporate anointing. More or God's power is generated. That's why in big gospel crusades where there are mammoth crowd divers kinds of miracles happen because the more there is a presence of believers the huge the power of God.

Likewise where the ungodly gather like in clubs, demonic power is also generated. That's why you hear in clubs fire break out or fighting or gangs shooting.

See God's presence generates positive powers of healing of salvation while devil generate fights, killings, erc

Is God’s presence no longer everywhere?
Is He no longer Omnipresent?
What did Jesus Christ say about the place to worship God in John 4?
Please let us know what passage of the Bible talks about corporate anointing

badmrkt:
They have come again. Shey you be spokesman for heaven matters.? There is no where in the Bible where it is written that you must be in church to guarantee your salvation. I like church ooo, but I'm not sure its a straight up ticket for salvation...

He didn't say it is a straight up ticket for salvation, he said to secure your salvation. Look at the illustration he gave. you can be easily trap by the devil if you are not in Church. what will be doing better than going to church. I don't know why some think with their nose

God's presence is everywhere but it is we humans that makes that presence tangible. The gathering of believers has been so right from early church. Our going to church on Sunday was started by them. They gathered in the first day of the week.

Then in Ephesians 4, it was talking about the five fold ministry in the church. When Jesus ascended he gave gifts to men; some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Whtn

For the perfecting of the Saints
For the work of the ministry.

Our bodies are still the temple of the Holy Spirit but it still doesn't stop gathering of the Saints. Let's learn to rightfully divide the word of truth. Amen


Also God's presence is everywhere but evil is still around because men give themselves to evil.

Anywhere two or more believers are gathering it is a church.

It can be physical or virtual.

He gave you the Bible passage that backed what bishop was saying. You change topic.
Coming to church has its benefits.

When I was growing up, back in the east. during one service, our pastor was asking about one sister. But she was not in service. This sister was a big time business hustler. Doing supply business, always on the road. She had money.

Not two days after that Sunday, that sister went for business. She was in a vehicle with her supply driver. The bus was packed. A big truck failed brake and crushed that lady and her driver. It was very sad. That ladies death and one other friend s death are two death that I still mourn up till today.
Coming to church God's presence is highly made manifest because many believers are in one place. There is a corporate anointing present.

Another lady who was ss genotype got her genotype changed to AA in a corporate service. The funny thing was that the lady was even cursing God tin the service, she was bitter because of her condition, always sick God healed her. She didn't know. She just went to her personal hospital and her personal doctor noticed it via test. Confusion broke out because the hospital knew her SS case. It was shocking. That was how that lady till today is a seasoned believer

I sure say Na salvation ministries. Na only for salvation ministries genotype dey change.

So Oyedepo should stop telling lies in a failed attempt to make people go to his own church.
The love of filthy lucre is intoxicating the man into saying nonsense and blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

please there is no need trying to convince people that are bent on being, blind, ignorant and stupid. anybody with a problem with what Bishop Oyedepo said should go and arrest him na, or better still jump inside a lagoon. ignorance will no longer be an excuse

so you believe genotype was changed from AS or SS to AA. No wonder these pastorprenuers will keep smiling to the bank with gullibles like you. As Karl Marx said religion is the opium of the masses. nuff said

Why are you so confused?
Did Jesus Christ say anything that you have quoted above?
Go and read the four Gospels, especially the conversation in John 4 to redeem yourself from your confusion.

Agberos (touts) do a similar thing in the motor park, telling you why you must board the vehicle

Well he is not really telling lies, if you understand how denominations work.

Every denominations Catholics, Orthodox, Protestant s, and co. All have different meetings and worship patterns.

Maybe you are the one living in unbelief. There is no healer like God. I have seen God' heal cases that even medical science has given up on.

If your only trust is in medical science then I am sorry for you because many people who relied on medical science while neglecting God's healing power has lost their life. I have seen billionaires worth billions killed by a medical condition even there money or best medical services could not save them.

Medicine can fail but God has never failed. Even me I am a proof of God's healing power. No be say them talk. I have experienced it in my body. So my dear unbelief is a terrible thing.

And Jesus told us in John that he had many to tell his disciples but he couldn't but when the comforter, the Holy Spirit will come. He will reveal all truth to us.

That was how from the acts of the apostles and other epistles was handed down to us by the disciples. Apostle Paul, the apostle to the gentiles writing most of them

The Lord told us in John that he will ask the father and he will give us the comforter, the Holy Spirit, and he will be with us forever.

The Holy Spirit is our director here on earth till we leave this earth
