Dragonking:

Am still waiting for the part were jesus hired armed men and commandoes to protect him from the mob...All am seeing here was that he fled when the mob was angry...

Running away and hiring deadly combatants are two different things.

Joagbaje:

Why did he flee? Where's God protection.

Joagbaje:

It's not just for them. Others are watching let's lay the facts side by side. The rest is the work of the Holy Spirit .

Joagbaje:

Read this story and study Paul's intention here

Acts 23:17
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.

Joagbaje:

Why did he flee? Where's God protection.

Dragonking:

Its a shame that you dont even know and understand your bible stories.

John 8:59
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but
Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple,
going through the midst of them, and so passed
by.

Now if you open your mind to the bolded, you will observe that jesus went out of the temple by going through the mist of the angry mob that wanted to kill him and passed by their midst without the angry mob even knowing.

In lame mans language, jesus passed through the angry mob without the mob seeing him or knowing according to this your previous quoted scripture..

That is the protection i expect all these MOG to display not by hiring commandoes and deadly squads.

Dragonking:

1. Was paul walking freely here with armed men or was he already a prisoner?

2. Someone came to give him info of the alleged plot to kill him while in prison.. right? this means that paul never had a bodyguard or protection before then?

3. Literally, paul didnt have a body guard rather someone came to give him info about an allege plot to get him killed..There is nothing that shows that paul moved around with commandoes or NPF.

Always try to read to understand and not just accept what was told to you by a selfish preacher.

Joagbaje:

He hid himself. Let's not twist anything. Why hid why escape?



Hiding is hiding . But don't say he disappeared supernaturally .



The deciples carried swords for your information . Either is gun or hiding , protection is protection, it's common sense.

Gombs: Dragon king, a quiz quiz

2. Why was Peter with a sword? Was he a butcher or a gangster?

Joagbaje:

Paul sent information to the authorities for his protection, and hundreds of soldiers were mobilized .he didn't call angel.

WinsomeX: ^^^

Those videos are simply old magician tricks. They convince no one but the gullible.

I have said it before I am saying it again, we need to address Christ Embassy bc of the myriads of young people they are deceiving.

A friend of mine said he found Rhapsody of Reality in the hands of his younger sister. He just started to weep, silently. Only his wife noticed.

We have a tragedy in the making in our hands. A man is caught pants down and these people are still idolizing him? Sure: End time thinz!

Eeiyah!
Your foolishness is of the highest order!
Tell that your friend to weep louder 'cus that young lady has been made for life!

Joagbaje:

Luke 22:36-39
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

The sword were for suya... or they must have borrowed it to cut grasses and wanted to return it the owners!

I trust Judas Iscarriot must've been a "Ikilishi expert"

Joagbaje:

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Dragonking:

Where was paul when he sent information to the authorities? was he roaming freely or already in prison when he got the tip off?

Gombs:

Did he get protection? Yes or No

Dragonking:

Protection as a free man? The answer is NO. he didt get protection.

Joagbaje:

Luke 22:36-39

Gombs:

Is pastor chris a free man?

Dragonking:

Is pastor chris in prison?

Gombs: Dragon king, a quiz quiz

1. Why were Peter, James and John always with Jesus... was it because they prayed berra? Or smarter than the rest?

2. Why was Peter with a sword? Was he a butcher or a gangster?

Gombs:

You said :
Protection as a free man? The answer is NO. he didt get protection.

From your logic, free men don't get protection.

Besides, you never answer why Peter was holding a sword! Was he a gangster? Or butcher?

WinsomeX: @mbaemeka
Thank you for the response. I will respond to it when I grab the opportunity. I want to believe this was an oversight: you forgot to respond to why no one is called a man of God in the NT. Jesus himself was simply Son of Man. Your bid to convert Son of Man to Man of God is ingenious indeed. But we will stick to the text: Son of Man. The question again:
Why is there not one person referred to as a Man of God in the New Testament?
Following your answer, I will provide my response later.

Dragonking:

I think you find it difficult to understand english. Letme help you again.

Now i asked a question, protection as a free man? And concluded it will an answer , No...Meaning, did paul get armed men to protect him when he was free and wasnt in prison? ANSWER: No.

Pastor chris is roaming freely without any threat but for a supposedly MOG to start carrying armed men and commandoes about is not only pitiful but also a mockery to the religion called Christianity.

What happened to God's power? Abi e don finish?

As for your other question, i have answered it..although the question was a bit childish but i answered it all the same.

mbaemeka:
The youth that you are concerned about are doing great exploits for God. Many of them are teaching the word with power in their respective places of assignment, be it schools, homes or in their neighborhoods.

mbaemeka:
They are graduating as the best students, they are receiving laurels for administering help to the poor and sick, they are the one's who stand out as well-behaved in the universities and they are growing up to be employers of labor, captains of industry, inventors as well as Doctors and Engineers with a difference. I can tell you because I am one of them.

mbaemeka:
Scandals followed Jesus every where he went. No matter how much good he did many still found those willing to bear false witness on him. Some even said he was a "charlatan" and deceiving the public while others who had at one time or the other received healings, bread and fish from him still asked that he be crucified. Jesus said "it is sufficient for a servant to be like his master; if they criticize me, they will criticize you". So the controversies are expected after all "woe unto you if all men speak well of you for so will they treat the false prophets"

mbaemeka:
I listened to the same video and in no way did he say or insinuate to the emboldened. He simply said he was not a preacher but a Man of God; that Men of God cannot do anything against God or to disobey him, and I believe him because it is clearly written in scripture.

mbaemeka:
Whereas a preacher could just believe the word of God so strongly that he goes about teaching and preaching to people a Man of God is one who has gotten a direct call from God himself and only does that which God has asked him to do. He lives for God, hears the voice of God and when he speaks it is as though God was speaking. As a result such a one does not live an ordinary life and the evidence of his calling is usually clear to see. For example, Elijah was a Man of God in spite of being a prophet (which other prophets within then Israel were). Paul, was a Man of God as well.

mbaemeka:
These men could not afford to be careless. The anointing upon them that causes miracles to happen through them could in an instant kill them if they misbehave.

mbaemeka:
Jesus "was" a man of God (even though he was the son of God). The phrase "son of Man" as he was called means that he was man's representative to God but as a man of God he was sent from God; heard from God; and functioned only in what he was called to do. So when other men were allowed to get married and have children he wasn't allowed to. God gives these men of God very specific instructions that may appear crazy to the fleshly man.

mbaemeka:
John the Baptist was another man of God and Jesus said so in words that would appear nebulous to the uninitiated. And just like other men of God he had a specific function that he followed to the letter. Timothy was called of God but not in the way that Paul was- he was called to follow Paul. Same way Christians are

mbaemeka:
The PFN should take cue from CE by first dropping the "scriptureless" pentecostal word from their appellation, as well as some of their wrong teachings and maybe they would learn to respect constituted authority within their midst. It is in so doing that all the internal wranglings for power and money. . .even those for political offices will cease. And then maybe they would be able to come together in putting forward their first successful christian outreach programme as they are yet to have one.

mbaemeka:
As per your reference to desperation and hurt, it is unsurprising that you make would such an assertion given how well-known you are on NL as one who would not recognize truth even if HE slapped you on the face with a bible. CE have gone through greater persecutions than the present and we came out unhurt- in fact, more prosperous and influential than ever before. It is those who prophe[i]lied[/i] by letting themselves to be used by demons that, time and the word have proven to be desperate, hurt, misled and liars.

mbaemeka:
It is important to note that while some of them have repented, some others have fostered on (though unsuccessfully) and are now broke of the anointing they once had even as their destruction awaits them, while a few others have gone to chase political offices, failed blogs and even relevance on NL as they are trying to get by themselves what God has refused to give them.

mbaemeka:

You are making daft references and suppositions. Pastor Chris has held conferences of over a million people seated including armed robbers and cultists. He stood there for hours preaching and ministering and there was no police officer or armed men around him and nothing happened.

In that picture you uploaded he was going to Edo state to hand over an auditorium that he built for his alma mater and the armed men you saw there were provided by Governor Oshiomole. Even at that he didn't ask for Body guards or what not but the Authorities of the church provided them for him and there is nothing wrong with that.

Why not ask him why he uses a vehicle to travel when Elijah and Phillip teleported at some point or the other to change locations? Hiss

mbaemeka:

You flatter yourself too much. A Son of Man was not translated to mean Man of God and I made no allusions to that regardless of how ingenious they may appear to you. There has been only 2 Son of men in scripture- Adam and Jesus. But there have been many Men of God and Jesus was a Man of God even as he was the Son of Man.


1 Timothy 6:11New King James Version (NKJV)

11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

Here Paul is referring to his protege, Timothy as a Man of God because Paul himself was a Man of God. Even Peter testified of this, calling Paul's writings scripture already because he knew Paul heard from God and we know not just "any" Christian can claim so:
