John 5,30>Today is another Sunday of history & geography teaching & fashion sermons,stories upon stories that don't empower humanbeigns spiritually by comedy, story telling pastors&prophets for spiritually blind Bornagain followers & church goers?bornagains & church goers enjoy it & continue to shout go deeper, prophesy, pastor ride on & after all the razzmatazz, you still remain in evil family&occult wickedness & evil marine bondages&can't sleep at night& witches & wizards feast on them without mercy and evil neighbors and landlords and evil people can't fear you because you have no power& pastors &prophets &apostles continue to use bornagains& church goers to make merchandise of their bellies without giving them empowerment & liberation&most importantly give followers PEACE that ,Jesus Christ promised to give to those who come to him?Again see Jeremiah 5.21,22 Jeremiah 12 10 you must help yourself &Seek for unbelievable power and receive it, which is LIGHT,MANTLE & THE POWER THAT BE &this is available only if you believe there is >many just claim Bornagain without spiritual wisdom &spiritual eyes & unbelievable power & they hate change &new truth&revelation of real JESUSCHRIST even when they read that God will do a new Thing in the Bible but they still question the same God why he is doing a new Thing? What a disaster humanbeings of the world.BEHOLD kingdom of God of Jesus Christ is not for everyone,neither is heaven for everyone, devil has his own children always &devils children hate change,especially the ones masquerading as BORNAGAINS who hate truth&good change with passion& pretend, they are those we call human CHAMELEONS,we have spoken again & those who have ear let them hear &investigate from JESUS CHRIST if indeed they know JESUSCHRIST #who can battle with God of justice & the power that be?remember this is authority & truth&revelation& power that is unbelievable to humanbeigns so it's not compulsory that you must embrace&believe us but only time will tell who is telling the truth or not as this is not like conventional bornagain &bornagain in vogue #NO & NEVER, Our own is accept the truth or perish,we dont beg human beigns to accept our truth&revelation,hence almost everyone claims to be bornagain,the same way many people claimed to know GOD more than JESUSCHRIST when Christ came before and do the forget the fact that Power talks and not empty critics and the confidence of a wise person is look before you leap Mathew 13,13-14

Foxyn:The same common sense rules we apply to everything in life that makes our lives liveable are suspended when it comes to the God matter. If you judge the christian God by his own words, Bro, he fails. For example he says love your enemies and do good to those who treat you ill but him nko what does he do or proposes to do? Cast them his enemies into hell. Yeah so much for loving your enemies. 3 Likes |

bizme: Moving from one class to another is constant. You stopped going to church because you have successfully desolved that illusion of it as the only way accepted to serve God. That is the thing about Illusions, they serve you until you see the need to get rid of them. The rest of your church members are not in anyway silly....no they ain't , it's just that the wind of reality hasn't hit them yet. I personally think the church is a good thing, a good learning curve for a young soul to grow. They must realise themselves that that is not the ideal way to grow mentally,spiritually,intellectually etc Now that you have passed that stage, what next? Big question! You must continue to find yourself. You must solve the question of "God". What really is God? Reevaluate what you have been taught in the church about what and who God is. Only you can find this question just the way you noticed that there is more to life than what the church as got to offer. The answer you will eventually get will change your life. There is nothing to fear. The best way to knowledge is you being your own teacher, making mistakes and learning from them. Listen to no one as they are students themselves. 7 Likes |

Foxyn: He wasn't the one that wrote those bullshit in the Bible, it was a religion fanatic illiterate that wrote everything base on their opinions,religion were created by humans and those magic performed in churches are from extra terrestrial beings on those that have encountered them luckily, some get it from herbalist through spiritual beings with enough and concrete agreements ,let me say only 5% of magic performed in this world are real but the rest are scam, but most of them can predict correctly,but they can't solve the problem, it's only left for u to use ur brain and solve ur problems... Although am not an atheist, but I believe that there is God who created everything but leaves our destiny in our hands to solve our own problems and help each other , besides everything on this earth or outside of it represents this GOD,so, I don't worship any god for the past 3 years, I worship myself because am also a God, who is powerful than fake aliens like jesus, jehovah, Allah etc..

Religion or even Christianity is s shitty business. You believe in God despite all the challenges around you. Hold him by his words and promises and patiently wait for him to make this crazy world sane for you. But everything just keeps on staring u in the face. The silence, the hope, the anticipation, time... Yet life is passing by. Weeks turn to months and to years. At the end you get up set. The life of management hoping praying and waiting can be frustrating. You show u are not happy... But what happens... You become the oppressor and God becomes the victim. Don't complain just wait till u die for God is always faithfull. Is there any other word for ZOMBIE? That's what Religious folks are. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Bizme, you sound as if it is either we pray, pray, pray for all the goodies we want...or work, work, work for them. How about pray, work, pray, work? That is what Catholicism teaches: Faith + Work. Secondly, if you think Christianity is about following God to get all the goodies you want, you are mistaken. You probably have been deceived by the prosperity gospel crooners. Jesus wanted the cup to pass over him, but submitted to God's will, which was the cross. This same cross, he asked us to take up and follow him, if we are to be his disciples. Chistianity is having a love affair with God and his Church. Love is sacrificial. Go to the Catholic Church. 2 Likes |

Kylekent59: Thanks kylekent59 for your encouragement...My girl has once referred me to the story of Job, but she's not likely to make that mistake again. . The story of Job fails to portray God as loving and holy righteousness as a way of life. Job was perfect but God made him an object of sport between Himself and the devil. God boasted about Job to the devil and yet went ahead to allow the devil kill all Job had...Reward for righteousness?? In the end Job lost everything. Make no mistake about it. He lost grown up children, God gave him little babies. How was he to account for the lost years? In summary, the story of Job should give us the chills and not the comfort many have sought in it. |

onyenze123: I wouldn't exactly call my evolving philosophical view deism. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit... What I no longer subscribe to is organized religion that makes promises on behalf of God, promises God doesn't appear to be keen on keeping. What I no longer subscribe to is the bandwagon of feverish supplications and emotional songs that seek to deaden one's senses to accurately appreciate the way the world works. What I no subscribe to is the recognition of the physical and social principles that govern our existence, and that God appears to have given the reigns to these principles to dictate man's experiences. For all that keep attacking me on my change of mindset, I have nothing but pity to offer you. At least I am humble enough to acknowledge the impracticality of my philosophical points of view... I recognized the Christian call and call to Christ followership as a covenant, in other words, an agreement binding on both parties. If God called you into that agreement He must be willing to honor His part of the bargain, as long as you're keeping your parts up. Otherwise, we should simply reduce Christianity to a call to misery, to pains, to despair... I do not include the entertainer MOGs driving flashing cars and jets in my description: such individuals are not even Christians to start with. They are conmen and slaves of their own bellies, to be pitied above men because even in repulsive opulence all they seek after is to take the little that you have to further enrich their purses. I have come to believe that the form of the gospel preached to us is probably strange to God Himself. God created the world, sent His Son, sent His Spirit, gave His grace. And that's where it ends. All that is left for me is to determine my own fate, the outcome of my life by manipulating physical and social principles to my advantage... Yes with me your demons and doctrines die, 'cos they fail to scare me now. |

bizme: Thanks for your honesty. You're always FREE to choose your worldview. GOD didn't create us as robots. Remember the Berean Christians who were commended for their personal study of the Scriptures? It's always better to find out things for yourself, rather than hanging on the words of any demagogue. Sadly, much of what is being peddled today as the Gospel of Christ is falsehood. Even Christ Himself warned about times like this. Your dreams are an important part of you; avoid any "gospel" that tries to turn you into an "approved" Christian, mindlessly blabbing phrases that have no meaning to you. I recommend you read the Bible YOURSELF with an open mind, asking GOD to reveal the truth to you. GOD loves you, just as you are. 2 Likes |

doyinbaby: Leaving the Church is not the same as going to God. The Church has just one function and purpose these days- to enrich the big man/woman holding the microphone at my expense. Membership of associations and clubs have their benefits, but membership of Church has no privileges. My experience at least. Staying put is tantamount to madness; doing the same thing the same way repeatedly and expecting to get a different response. Thank you doyinbaby, I too have said the same words to different individuals in the past in my bid to comfort them and provide them with some encouragement. |
