Did you read and comprehend what you quoted before saying I am mistaken?

Did I say Jesus taught that to the Pharisees?

If you do not understand English it is not my role to help you

What you have said is completely off point and tangential.


The point is that in those days there was a practice of calling Pharisees and other religious leaders; "Rabbi" which when translated could mean My Master ,My Teacher or Father

This is what was in contention here. The idea was to bring an end to that practice
So what has changed between the pharisees and today's Christian leaders who are still called Farher? If Jesus forbade the practice of the pharisees, then why are Christians imbibing thesame practice?

What I really do not understand is why you do not send Adeboye or Oyedepo an email and instead decide I am the best person to answer that

To bring to an end a practice that is even today very much alive among those of the Old Covenant Law of Moses and now thrives among those in Jesus Christ, the New Covenant Law. undecided

The good news is you at least do not reject the Truth of Jesus Christ in this unlike many of this very thread. undecided

Which truth of Christ ?

Is your head hurting you?

I am a confirmed Ogun Lakaaye Adherent . I have not sold out my heritage to Hebrew Tales.

I just find the Bible stories to be quite entertaining though like the one about Manna falling from the sky and Lot's wife turning into a pillar or salt.
Nice bedtime reads especially when I can't sleep
Interesting how many black people people that there actually was a Garden of Eden and Noah herded mae and female of all the animals into an Ark
Don't you ask how and why Jehovah never sent anyone to black people

No doubt there is an obsessive, intolerant and potentially fanatical dimension to this "truth" of yours.
That would explain your insistence that I know your truth
