frosbel:

if you call exposing frauds as insulting, you may have a point.

For example those pastors who bear the title reverend, I wonder who gave them the authority to be revered when the bible emphatically states that the greatest among us should be the least.

smiley

And you think name calling is the best way you can throw a light to whatever wrong you think they are doing? And by the way, am not also keen about the reverend thing. Now compare your teaching pattern and the pattern used in presenting here. You ll see a clear distinction. While your own is geared towards attack and mudslinging, this one is geared towards educating people. That's all am saying. Learn how to educate and when u do, accomodate disagreement because I can't accept what am not convinced about, likewise others.

Name calling, mudslinging, are you sure we're looking at the same thread?

The author presented his facts well, and I admire his delivery, I have not seen the things you mentioned in the original article or his replies, maybe you should read it again.

If you find this piece offensive, you should check yourself and make necessary adjustments.

At the author,
I love your writing, the bible is distasteful to many even in the church, they prefer the teaching of men of God even if such teachings are contrary to the bible.

Christianity is a religion. No amount of written or verbal specious distortions or sophist rationalizations would ever negate that fact. Please, quit this delusional fallacy which I've observed is far more common among deluded christians than any other religious group: amusing people with exceptionalist delusions. Stop embarrassing yourselves with all these "christianity is not a religion" drivel.

Re: Religion Vs Jesus Christ - Important by ono(m): 5:25am On Jul 04, 2013
ono: I'm reading Steve McGregor's book: The Future Fortold and I'm like many are generally ignorant about the forces we contend with in this world as humans. Like I stated in one of my entries in the religion board, humans are not warring against ''flesh and blood'' that we see with our biological eyes, equipment and the likes.

We're contending with forces whose ultimate goal is the ''destruction of mankind in this world, and in the world to come'' And, at the head of these forces is our arch-enemy, the Devil. Thank goodness even the muslims know that he is an un-welcomed guest in every home and society.

One Shymexx said he's left ''religion'' for some 4-years now. I said to myself, wow! The guy, whoever he is, is ''almost'' there. The remaining bit is Jesus, call him Isa (muslims) or whatever. That's the name that send chills down the spine of the evil one and his forces. Thank God for a way out for mankind. We're powerless without Jesus. We can't do anything against the Devil without Jesus. Our knowledge and skills and training etc is useless without the help of Christ Jesus.

We all need to come to that consciousness that religion (Islam or Christianity or whatever) will do us all no good. Deliberate efforts must be put in by every human on earth to allow Jesus become his personal Lord and saviour in this world. This is the only way out. This is not some born again gist and stuff. You have to allow Jesus into your heart and life with every sense of urgency and sincerity of heart.

When you go to any congregation where you hear the teachings of Jesus and the word of God is preached- undiluted and how you can be saved, don't get carried away by the politics and hierarchical arrangements (religion) there. Just restrict yourself to the worship of your saviour, master and deliverer - Jesus our Lord. Listen to the word of God. Fill your heart with Love for God and Christ and your fellow men and all will be well.

That was my post on something related to Frosbel's write up last year.

I am happy many people are seeing ''religion'' for what it is. God be praised. Jesus said in the last days the knowledge of God's word will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. Praise God! He's coming soon! Lets be ready.

Yeah you are right and this is also my stand. However, What frosbel usually advocate for(not in this particular thread) is that we should leave our churches and this is very wrong and different from what you are saying. If those of us who understand these issues we discuss here run away from churches like frosbel, how then can the thousands of church goers who don't have this understanding be influenced positively? How many of those members access the internet to read up things or buy books outside of the ones written by their pastors. I don't believe in jumping from one denomination to the other. I prefer influencing a positive change wherever I am. Thanks.

uhmm, I never asked anyone to leave their churches, stop misquoting me, appears you are on a rampage of slander.

I simply make the point that we cannot trust what the pastors or reverends are telling us in these last days, we MUST always test their doctrine and teaching with the word of GOD.

So far , many of their teachings have been found to be wanting and inclined more to the traditions of men than the doctrine of Jesus.
Re: Religion Vs Jesus Christ - Important by nora544: 9:42am On Jul 04, 2013
I feel that there must be people who have the power to say something against this so called great man of god.

The problem i see is, that are only few people try this here on nairaland.

I had a discussion with a very good friend about religion in nigeria he knows also about the problem but he has fear to say something against this so called great man of god. He knows that all what this pastors and bishops tell is not okay but when there is a group of people who could go on the streets to show what is right that could help that this so called gread man of god lose there power.

The next think is every person can make his own church, and i know there are so many churches in nigeria and every church tell the people i can help you i will make you rich, i will give you money, i will give you a car, i will give you a job.

The people in nigeria have to learn that a better life for them didnot come from praying and fasting a better life comes from hard work and when god see that people work hard than they will have a better life.

The problem is also that pastors preach something about driving a car with no fuel sorry that is not possible.
Pastors preach give me all you money what you have in your pocket and when you at home after church it will be 10 times more than you give to me. God is no money maker.
Pastors preach about cars and ask the people if they want such a car, and the people who say yes didnot know how this car looks.

The next is that pastors, bishops, prophets.... all make this prophecy when people pray and fast than this will not come, what will not come.

This pastors bishops...... only want that the people come to church for this and that but this keeps the people away from there work because you cannot pray the hole night and than go to work that is not possible.

Every pastor want that the people joine there programm but this pastors dont see that the people have to go to work.

I never hear that one of this so called great man of god say something against the goverment that they spend money for something what is not important, they never say something what would help the poor in this country and that is also a problem.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying.

To people saying Christianity is a RELIGION, it is not a religion, rather, its a RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. That is why we are called the CHILDREN OF GOD.

Christ came to reconcile us to God. Jesus taught no religion, instead he taught us how to live our lives right, and how to please God.

people hate and condemn what they don't understand.You remind me of the early medical discoveries.People condemned those who came up with such possibilities and even supported that they be put to death for even announcing such.There were scientists who were even condemned by their colleagues.
Whether you understand it or not,Christianity is not a religion!

Nobody is on rampage of slander just that u seem to dislike people disagreeing with you. And because you say too many things you forget what you ve said and when its mentioned you tag it slander or lies. If what am saying is not true how come many others in this forum are also confronting you on this same issue? You better change because I will always disagree with you in what am not convinced.

Wooow i am so much in Love with this post,
Reason is that if you look at most christians now they aint serving God the right way they are following what thier religious leader say, and neglecting the word of God. For instance most people dont know the reason why they go to church and sometimes i wonder what they go to church to learn, in every ceremony you will find dem there but they aint living the right way. We christians need to retrace our steps. And start living like christ.

Thanks for the sarcasm.

As a former member of a cult and religious organization in excess of 10 years, having escaped death once from the throes of Apostolic faith church, having almost lost my family because of deeper life, I have now been made free, in my freedom I can now see the lies, the bondage, the demonic possession, the hypocrisy , the fake MOG , etc and I am angry, not for me but for others.

My mission is to write up or post articles that align with my experiences and to tell God's children to come out of religion and follow JESUS, to throw away the doctrines of men and cleave to the doctrine of Christ.

Jesus did not come to start an organization or a religion, he did not come to set rules and regulations, he did not come to add burdens to our lives (Matthew 11:28) , he came to set us free, to teach us about love and how to love others even our own enemies, he came to make disciples that will reflect the true character of GOD , who will in turn reconcile MEN to GOD.

Jesus never implemented his own agenda, he always implemented the fathers agenda, yet today we have many so called MOG with conflicting agendas, rules, regulations and outright scamming of Gods children.

I will not stop this mission till the very end, I know that in the process many MOG and their itching ear MAN worshiping members will be angry with me, abuse and slander me, but I do not care, the truth has to be exposed.

The word of God said we should be angry but sin not ! If you allow anger to stay up with u for long you know rage,malice,hatred for persons will eat you up. Then where is the love. Do not be like the Egyptian army that did the right thing yesterday but the wrong way ! You can save us with ur write up yet might not make it after all. Correct people with love. Pray for the ones you see as ur enemies today(MOG'S and other religious people) You might have the message who knows but i sure care about ur soul. Love conquers all !

There is malicious anger and righteous anger, I am righteously angry just like Jesus was when he chased away the tithe thieves from the temple of GOD.

My anger is not constant or any everyday thing, it is only displayed when I see injustice and wickedness.

MOG are not my enemies, I do not consider them greater than me or lesser, we are all MOG or WOG , there is no respect of persons with GOD, Jesus warned us not to take up titles , yet MEN have acquired titles and status to themselves in direct contrast to scripture.

I dare say a great majority of these MEN are scam artists.

Indeed, weeping and gnashing of teeth in Gehenna after the great white throne judgement and not before.

Also it does not say what the cause of their weeping is, I think they will weep in regret and pain to see that those sinners and gentiles ( dogs ) they rejected and looked down on are the ones given immortal life and entrance into the kingdom of GOD , while they who are supposed to be the children of the kingdom are destined to be destroyed in the second death.
