Too Many Rogue Pastors - With A Taste Of Luxury And Material Things by thameamead(f): 12:32pm On Sep 10, 2009
what is happening with christianity, why are their hundreds and thousands of churches these days, why are the so called pastors fighting each other these days, why are the pastors getting greedy, i thought religion was about helping the poor people out but these days, it seems to me christianity is on sale, all what the pastors seem to be doing these days is linning their pockets with millions of pounds, dollars and naira, the pastors send their kids to private schools abroad, buy luxury cars and buy houses abroad, am sick to death of the so called churches, everyone wants a taste of the pie these days, everyone wants to start a church, pls do not get me wrong, their are good churches out dia but what most care about these days is big donations from whoever has money, sometimes, u see the pastors hanging out with politians and celebrities, they want a branch of their church in every continent of the world, u see them buying private jets, holidaying in Dubai and Miami, if u disagree with them they want u out of the church. they try to run people's life and family but they do not care about the education of the poor or accommodation, all they care about these days are material things, am thinking KICC, i remember the church bn investigated for over £2M by the charity commission here in london few years ago, i also remember a CCC was raided by the police few years ago and 1M worth of drugs was found in the church, Baba Ageboye holds a holy ghost cruise thingy in summer in miami, how many nigerian's can afford that, i remember seeing picutures of it in ovation, redeeme, winner chapels et cel need to focus on the needy not material things, its as if JESUS IS FOR SALE, these is my opinion, discuss

Those are the false prophets the bible warnded us about.  cool

2 Peter 2:1-3:

2 Peter 2
The Danger of False Teachers
1 But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. 3 In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.
Titus 1:14-16:
14 They must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.
   15 Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16[b] Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live.[/b] They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.

Jude 1:16:
16 These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want.

Ah-ha! It does and it matters to me . . .

The reason is for doing the cross referencing

"Ona kan o wo oja" Yes but which "ona" did you take to the market

Literally "Many roads lead to the market. Yes but which road did you take to the market"

Thanks all the same

, and you use your natural wisdom to know that, in a country where there's a church every corner, most of its citizenry live in abject poverty even tho prosperity preaching is the norm of the day and the richest people are politicians, church leaders and fraudsters, there's something wrong somewhere, yea heed your own advice n try n use atleast your natural wisdom plz

smh at summer holy ghost cruise thingy in miami splashed on the covers of ovation(according to the OP), a magazine that displays the oppulence of the Abachas, Ajuduas, and now pastors, all ill gotten wealth at the expence of the impoverished masses (in the case of the pastors, church mugus members who actually pay for the lifestyle of these rogues in the guise of tithes, seed faith n countless offerings
