Speaking in tongue without charity is just like a sounding cymbal. And trust me it is very disturbing to the ears and will make you complain endlessly if it won't stop. Now that's hell fire on earth (wailing and gnashing of teeth).

I wasn't wrong. I am not also judging you. I only said the truth (light). So you can use it to see where you are at.

Christians or believers are often prosecuted by the law which can not be kept, thereby condemning them to death. This is when they are tempted to seek alternative help.
Isn't that right?

CAPSLOCKED:


ASK THEM.. THAT'S THE NEW TREND.

WORST PART IS THEY SECRETLY GO TO HERBALISTS.. BUT CRITICIZE OTHERS WHO GO TO HERBALISTS.

HYPOCRISY EVERYWHERE!

Yoshy:


As much as live without the law will die without it.

To be clear, I'm not a Christian. However, I'm guided by the 613 codified law of God which most be kept. Will I fail some of them sometimes? Yes. However, the scripture made it clear a righteous man fails many times but rises again. In Jewish lithurgy it's called Teshuva (The process of return).

Why do people go other places like herbalists and palm readers; even after praying in church?
Is it lack of faith?

These are the things that cause religious resentment or silent /hidden beef even amongst Christians. You will see Methodist beefing Anglican, cac resenting 4square,7day Adventist thinking they're better than winners, winners thinking they're better than celestial church of Christ

Speaking of which before I met some celestial friends my home church planted some bias and seed of discord about Cele. Our pastor claimed they're diabolical, fetish, superstitious and mix bible with fetish practices till I met a Cele landlord who treated me like a daughter instead of a tenant. When I told the man our tap water has spoilt this man fixed a borehole and tank for us free without collecting 5 naira. Whenever he is around he doesn't carry an air of arrogance or makes us feel uncomfortable around him and even when he invited me to his church and I didn't go he didn't use that to react negatively to me. He just said if you don't want to come to our church for now it's no problem but whenever you think you're ready, our doors are opened, we will accept you with open arms but pray about it and let God direct you aright. I couldn't believe my ears. I said so there are still open minded religious people in this world. Mind you he is a Cele pastor and his church is in front of the house I rented but even though I have not stopped into that church before, I listen to their sermons from home and I haven't seen anything weird from them
The bottom line is pastors create seed of silent enmity or bias amongst Christians on denominational lines instead of preaching on God working in us and through us. And by the way the reasons we have more churches and still more wickedness is because pastors subtly preach church loyalty and kindness. For instance if I didn't leave home and live with other denominations I will believe my pastor that Cele's are fetish
Nigerians will rather be kind to you because you are from their village or you attend the same church and not because you are a human being and you deserve to be loved because you are Gods creation

hisgrace090:



Hmm! You nailed it, today church lack so many things.

Bible says in a church some will be this or that as in gift manifestation for the edification of the church but taday a man with just a gift will open a church without allowing those with other gift to manifest in His church so that they will not overshadow him.

What an irony caused by mans selfishness?

newguy1:

Willl see their apprentice in . Complete red searching for odd things like lizard asking ffor local egg aand the rumours of the human spare part they use yah also sometiiimes we hear them speaking arab wordds once a while

Why do you have NEPA, generator and even solar inverter?

brodalokie:


Are you telling me?
I know nau
What I am pointing at is that sometimes the law will stretch people and shoot them to the other side. I am seen cases were the law renders even the grace of Jesus (who has the key of hell and death) powerless. Why? People who are pagans now running the show and Christianity is alien to our indigenous tradition, so they try to give it a fitting that suites the tradition. This is why it looks like there is no way out unless one tries the other side.

Yoshy:


Paganism is a mirage, JuJu is a mirage too. Life is in demensions and the perspective you see from determines what becomes real or true to you. Don't take this literal "Darkness is the absence of Light".

There is ONE infinity source of energy, different entities may tap into from it and manifest, however it all depends on who is observing these manifestations.

The saying ONE with God is majority summarises all.

Whatever entity you tap from has its rules which must be kept, however it's ideal not to disturb the way The Almighty made things by trying to manipulate, but to tap from HIM direct.

When you start keeping these laws, then you will know that it's not that hard to keep, and as many mitzvot (law) you were able to keep, the much you will draw near to God who will reveal Himself more to you (removing more distortions from your perspective).

Kenneth4u205:
Because the church today is not functioning in it fullness.some church focus only on the word.while some focus only on holiness.while some focus only on prophecy .while some focus only on prosperity.while some focus only on healing .while others only on miracles.Another on deliverance.That was never the plan of God for the church.God want his church to flow on all this at the same time .don't just focus on one area and neglect the other.preach the word of holiness and prosperity,then go ahead to heal the sick ,cast out demons and give prophecy to those that need directions.

uuzba:


Enough of break away churches. There are over 46,000 broken away churches. Trace your root back to the original church. It requires much humility and acceptance . That church is very much here in Nigeria and worldwide.

Why do people visit Alfas and mosques and most times leave without their heads on their shoulders?

It's only on Sundays that you'll see posts ridiculing Christianity fly to FP without delay.

Well no matter what, God's kingdom Will prevail

AfDapone:
People dey para o chei!











The points in the quote below is part of the sermon in an Anglican church, St. john Ang. Igbein, Abeokuta.



What i keep telling pple is if God is that wicked, u, a Christian and a Muslim hater, or u, a Muslim and Christian hater, since when has your God failed to make it rain on a Muslim farmer's crops or a Christian farmer's crops in order to prove that He is the God of Christians or God of Muslims?

brodalokie:


You have a good point. But in Christianity, those laws have no effect. It has all been summarized to the law of grace.

Tunagee:


Guy, naija church na show off, people dey go find solutions to their problems like money, husbands, wives and after they get answer dem do waka. Secondly, most Nigerian Christians are hypocrites!

MistadeRegal:


You set the question and answered it yourself. Lack of faith coupled with spiritual laziness of being unable to pray over that issue.
