The confused witnesses. I wonder what they witnessed, kingdom hall tales.

TATIME:
There are people you just ignore since their comments doesn't warrant any response.
Jesus sent his followers out to make disciples of people and to baptise them, if they don't know the disciples face to face how are they going to teach them by examples what Jesus commanded?

TATIME:
Are they also going to be baptized online?

TATIME:
Baptism is the public declaration that helps believers identify themselves, so if you're not baptized in the presence of fellow believers how will they recommend you as a true Christian?

TATIME:
Please some just feel like talking so there is no need responding to them, it's like attending to every barking dog on your way to work, surely you'll never get to work in time!

hoopernikao:
Are you advocating for online pastoring and teaching without haven't a physical ministry on ground by the same person?

hoopernikao:
And mind you. All Paul's letters are follow up letters on work that has been done earlier and still ongoing. They are likewise not written to strangers.

Lizzyangel: I'm a Christian who fellowship always,but congregation helping members depends on the status of such church...we ain't living in lekki or overseas where we can easily mingle with rich folks we are somewhere in Ore...nobody wishes to beg but I pray you don't encounter the problem that will make you loose your ego...more so, I prefer to beg here rather than going one on one with neighbors and church...I don't have the confidence to do such.

Achorladey: The message is clear enough as highlighted above. The person that post was meant for simply can't comprehend it. The fact he could say YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN SAYS IT ALL and should give you the mindset of the PERSONALITY you are dealing with.

25But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

More on that account in 1Kings 17: 9,10. One will wonder why a GENTILE will be used to take care of GOD'S PROPHET. The prophet even had to go the the land of GENTILE as directed by GOD.




Thanks very much for the quote,I decided not to reply him/her as soon as I discovered where he/she was driving at to avoid further arguments...he was repeating "You're not a Christian" and also trying to exalt Jehovah witness church than other congregations...I just decided to shush ,I don't have the strength I'm online majorly to check updates on Doctors upcoming strike, they're just scaring us with the strike Pa lava here, I can't afford to go back home same way I came nor visit a private hospital cos of the expenses...I pray they don't go on strike

Of course, Father is different from the Son, likewise the Holy Spirit. But this doesn't mean Jesus is not part of the office called God. There just liked hierarchy in it.

As for preaching, do you expect everyone to beat their chest like you? Moreover, do you think it's the gospel of Jesus you guys are preaching? Where is it stated that Jesus was an angel? Even the commission Jesus gave, you guys aren't doing it the way he said it.

Mathew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

As seen above, Jesus said we should do two things: Go and teach all Nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and of the Holy Spirit. You guys haven't even done the first one totally, yet you are boasting. Have you gone to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Afghanistan etc? Yet we have missionaries in those harsh places.

Secondly, Jesus said we should baptize those we get saved in the name of the Father, the So and of the Holy Spirit. To show that it is not what Jesus Christ sent us you guys are doing, when you baptize, why do t you mention the name of the Father, the son and of the Holy Spirit? You can't because you do not believe Jesus has the authority to be mentioned alongside his Father because you deny the Trinity. So clearly, it is not Jesus work you are doing well g but your own work of blinding people from seeing the truth. Yet you boast about it as if it is actually the work Jesus gave you are doing.

I'm done arguing with a false witness and a GB puppet

Though all the good angels are angels of God, or angels of the Lord, there is one special angel who is distinct and unique from all the other angels, he is called the "angel of the LORD."

I don't want to reply you on folykaze's post so as not to derail the thread.

I'm a Christian who fellowship always,but congregation helping members depends on the status of such church...we ain't living in lekki or overseas where we can easily mingle with rich folks we are somewhere in Ore...nobody wishes to beg but I pray you don't encounter the problem that will make you loose your ego...more so, I prefer to beg here rather than going one on one with neighbors and church...I don't have the confidence to do such.

Thanks for your comment all the way...I'm a Christian,I believe there is nothing impossible for God, kindly add my family to your prayer request and I pray he answers every of our request through Christ our Lord.Amen

Sorry about your present ordeals , I pray God give you strength to wither the storm. Its not an easy situation to be in. Good Morning, @Bold , Surely .

I am not one to advocate for anything. Jesus Christ's follower are being led by the Spirit of God to do that which Jesus Christ wants. If Jesus Christ commanded that we not remotely communicate His gospel to anyone, then what Jesus Christ says is what I advocate we do. Who are we to say no to the Almighty Everlasting God of Heaven and Earth?

Now we know that Jesus Christ, our Master, and Lord, never insisted that all preaching was to be done face-2-face. So why in the world is this even a thing worth debating?
Paul's letter to the Romans was not a follow-up. It preceded his visit to Rome. Also, not everyone who read the actual letters that were sent by the apostles met the writers face-2-face.
I have read the letters written by the Apostles, and at least I have never seen any of their actual faces. Those letters preach to us to this day... yet we have never met them.

Maximus69:
There is just one single group that belongs to Jesus, Jesus himself called this group a "tree", he also emphasized that so many trees may appear just like his own but none of those other trees will be able to produce the desired fruit! Matthew 7:15-20
Each tree with it's own fruit, Apostle Paul also said the tree belonging to Jesus had many GIFTS {Ephesians 4:11} but just one FRUIT! Galatians 5:22-23
In his letter to the Christians in Galatia Paul explained that the FRUIT (not fruits) of God's holy spirit has 9 qualities, so you must taste it before you can feel those qualities!
Though other trees (religions) may have similar GIFTS when some amongst their members will be serving as Apostles, prophets, preachers and teachers. There is no religion that doesn't have something similar to this but what will help an honest hearted observer to IDENTIFY Jesus' tree?

"FRUIT" Matthew 7:20

Various trees may have similar GIFTS like tick branches and roots, big leave that's bushy so people can hide under such trees during the scourging heat from the sun, but each tree will have it's unique FRUIT!

This GIFTS in different religions are similar when you find nice individuals, fine singers, actors and actresses, huge edifices, organized system of worship and kind gesture like charitable donations for poor people.

When we consider this, then no religion will be viewed as the Truth, arguments to unravel the blemish in any of these religions will become futile. That's why you will hear some people saying "even a Babalawo will make heaven!"

The problem such individuals have is how to distinguish between GIFTS and FRUIT of God's holy spirit, Jesus and Paul never said the GIFTS of pure worship will not be found elsewhere, but they were both emphatic on the significance of the FRUIT that can't be found elsewhere except in the tree planted by God himself! John 15:1

TATIME:


I have heard many people utter the highlighted countless times, surely they don't know the difference between GIFTS and FRUIT of God's holy spirit!

Thanks Maximus!

hoopernikao:
You will need to start reading patiently when a post is made. I have told you earlier, trying to make a distinction especially when it has no basis is a dangerous path.
Secondly. State in clear terms, that I may know you and your conviction.
Can a minister be an online minister without having a physical ministry work to point to. Should a minister be a perpetual e-discipler without a taking physical ministry seriously.
That is what the OP approached. Hence approach that.

hoopernikao:
Secondly, I have noticed how you have been reading Paul's letter or intent wrongly. You will need to properly study and understand the church work established in the scriptures.

hoopernikao:
Your queries aren't reflective of even Christ teachings. I once told you about importance of understanding language and grammar but you said it isn't necessary. But note this will always affect your view and understanding of the scriptures.

For example: All you write up there simply show that you don't actually understand what a disciple is. When Jesus said "make disciples of all nations".

The fact use of the word disciple in Greek should inform you that it requires learning by precept and by examples. A disciple must see and do.

Paul wrote in many of his letters about such examples.

hoopernikao:
You read Paul's letters today because there were eye witnesses attesting to his examples. Those who met and saw him never wrote bad about his examples, the apostles commended him. He wrote about his good examples too. So you not meeting him but follow him is premised on such testimony.

hoopernikao:
His testimony was not hidden behind keyboards or giving by online warriors but men on ground who related with him physically.
Lastly, note, any spirit that leads, speaks or acts contrary to this is not the spirit of God, and don't forget there are many spirits these days. We may not know how close one is
