Sister the mistake most people are making in this post is that they don't use Google or their brain well , the braham and Catherine coolman are the greatest preacher that have ever lived after the bible time , u will find history about them in God's generals , braham came first then later years around 60s and 70s Catherine came , both of them are from USA , in the case of braham the problem the congregation had was that the world was not as developed as in the time of Catherine so the made some minor mistakes. God so much used these two people that in their healing services cut off legs , amputated legs and hands , blind eyes with no balls grow back as everybody is watching , so with braham the people of his time started to like trying to (worship ) or believe in him instead of believing in his God , braham was a very good christian , why the members built their doctrine around him which is wrong was because of the wonders they saw happen when he prays , mind u it was early 19 century , somebody should not come and say it is lies what I wrote , it all happened in USA , they have records and and majority of people that recorded it are not even christians , so finally the church is not a cult but they are making some little mistake which started after the death of the man

Religion make you live a miserable life, being a liberal make you live your life to the fullest.Religion caged you and throw fear of unknow on to you, make you to experience unknow and speak about unknow..lt make you a rigid meanwhile God is not on a still material.HE does not gave them a rigid law .Even the earth is rotating..leave your brother Braham dream and live your personal dream sister!

Abeg can you describe how you picture it?

Hello, I have been with my boyfriend for over a year. We started off well, in -love as you usually do and have shared some wonderful experiences. We're both Christians and I'd never thought of asking what he believed in exactly, I just assumed he was a 'normal' Christians. I even invited him to my church which he attended a few times.

Fast forward to 9 months down the line, I asked him about his church and he said 'you might find it strange, you might think I'm an extremist. So did digged a bit further and asked him what he meant He said 'well the women wear trousers and they don't wear make-up. Now at this point, I was thinking, well I do all these things and you why is he with me if I still do these things? And why allow me to fall deeply in love if I didn't really meet the 'criteria' A few months later, I pressed to attend his church.

So it turns out he is part of The Message church, and their prophet is 'William Branham', they have very strict rules over the women in the church but I don't see anything that the men have to give up per se. What disturbed me the most is that the teachings were mainly cantered around 'Brother Branham' and what he said and what he prophesied etc.

I found this experience very strange and alarming, why wouldn't they just preach straight from the Bible and that be it? They even have a Christian and non-Christian sboed asked where in the bible it said this and he said there isn't.

BUT, apparently Brother Branham' had a dream where God showed him hell and the devil was wearing very high heeled shoes and that's why it's not allowed. I had never heard of this church before meeting him, they all live in fear, even I started to live in fear and have paranoia about hell etc, it was mentally tormenting for me. We had some arguments around it, almost to the point of breaking up.

I think he thinks I'll 'convert' deep down, but the way I'm seeing it I can't. From my perspective, I'd be fine with him going to his church and me attending mine, but if we're thinking long term that would be tricky and probably not work and he would not be happy with it.

I am torn because I really love him, he is my first boyfriend and we've shared a lot of memories together. I don't know what to do. I don't know if he is part of a cult or whether that is indeed the truth! How would I not wear any make-up on my wedding day? What if my kids want to take part in sports at school, do I tell them they have to wear dresses to run or in the gym? I never thought this would be the thing that would break us apart, I am torn and trying so hard to mentally switch off, but I don't know what to do.

We both love each other and since the arguments we've just not discussed the topic anymore, but I know it's only a matter of time. l'm scared of starting again, looking for someone all over again, What do I do? What would you do?

same too she is a Christian im a muslim, now she wants to dump me because I couldn't convert to Christianity, we have been dating for over a year now , pls advice me

Rotentina:
That church is a very good church. I grew up there as a young Christian, if you want to know Bible deeply, I will simply tell to make that church a place where to go.

They don't believe in Trinity, they believe in one God. They don't believe in women pastor. They don't believe in Bible school, they train every members to know the Bible truth etc, etc.

If you want to grow as a believer, make go to that church.

Actjulius:


Your boyfriend is either a new believer or one who hasn’t decided to follow Christ fully otherwise he won’t be following a path that can lead him to fornication and other likely sins

You owe yourself a duty to visit the church and speak to the Pastor there and then make your decision. Everything is open and everyone is easily approachable

Were you expecting her to convert to Islam or maybe raise your kids as Muslims? For me the issue of faith is a serious one.I can marry a Christian of another faith but am a bit picky about the denominations I can marry from because of doctrine issues.As for the two of you , had you discussed whether you’d worship in your different religions or one would have to convert? Also where were the children gonna go to?

kogi2010:

I wasn't expecting her to convert to Islam, let her practice her own n I will practice mine, she worried she is getting older she is 32 now , I even ask for court wedding she refused.

slowbreeze:


My dear;coming from someone who has been married for a while now;pls don't mind those who say love is the ultimate.Two cannot walk together except they agree.He never told u abt his place of worship early enuf.He is an extremist & expects u to convert & u don't believe in his beliefs/style of worship and may never.Whether u like it or not;by d time uv past d honeymoon stage and reality of marriage hits u; u are expected to do d needful & convert.;& when u don't do so & it begins to cause marital problems;d whole world will blame u.
Just end it while u can as amicably as possible.A broken engagement is better than a broken marriage.

funmisticqueen:
look, my dad is baptist, and my mum is pentecostal. religion wouldnt stop u from marrying him, but if you know you cant deal then leave, or both of you find a compromise and go to a completely different church together.

If he uses children to blackmail you, then you tell him that our xhildren will choose their path, and if he still insists, then run.
my parents tried that solution of going to a different church and that worked for a few years before they went back to their original churches and they are still together. They learnt to keep church, work and home where it belongs.

i am a Christian mystic and philosopher, my other siblings are catholic, jehovah witness and C&S respectively.

Mmmmmmh,if she changed her mind, just let go.I always say that some things can’t be forced, they must come from the heart.If her heart is no longer with you, it’s easier to just move on.It’ll hurt for a while but you’ll be glad you did.

What do u mean by Christian mystic curious.
