Wrong,. Say average modernised pastors or imams or religious leaders.
chirstain are those living a chirst life and genuine ones are not fraudulent. Don't say what you don't know.

Still not correct......say an average Nigerian is fraudulent. It takes a very conscious effort and decision to not be fraudulent in Nigeria. It has absolutely nothing to do with being a Pastor!

In more cases than not, the average Nigerian you see who hasn't been found committing fraud is the one who has not found himself in the opportunity to commit. This is why what goes on in the mind of the average poor Nigerian, including most of the masses that are being oppressed is "let God bless me and put me in a position where I can chop(loot)". This is why a politician like Tinubu or Ganduje comes out today and millions of followers are hailing them. This is why our culture celebrates ill-gotten wealth and even give chieftaincy titles to people who stole to get rich. So stop blaming pastors because those pastors are still Nigerians.

The pastor you see committing fraud today was already a fraudster before he took upon himself the title of "Pastor". Martin Luther King Jr said "people should be judged by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin(You can modify this to also include their titles as well)" .

No pastor can fool me at this stage of my life because I only need to listen to your message and watch your lifestyle for a short while to discern if you are real or fake. It is very simple.....Jesus said by their fruits you shall know them. But most people won't go and study the bible to know God's standards and they then come and depend on daddy freeze to tell them who is a real or fake pastor.

Except a man experiences genuine conversion and decides to repent, he will certainly perpetuate fraud someday if the prize is right and he sees he can get away with it. Me that is talking, the only reason I will rather die of hunger than defraud another man if the opportunity arises is simply because I understand there is a God watching all i do, and I will give account of my life when I die. Anybody who doesn't understand this simple fact will commit fraud someday and it doesn't matter if they are pastor or not.

You are not too far from Salvation and being saved since you already know that Jesus indeed Died for the sins of mankind on the Cross.

Obviously, your emotions move faster than your reasoning.

How dare them!

Nobody has the right to touch a man of God!

"Touch not my anointed ones and do my prophets no harm"

Even if he kills your mother, who are you to touch a man of God?

unfortunately for you.. your brain is so primitive to wrap around the fact that not all that claim to be something are what they claim to be.. so if anyone wakes up and calls himself a man of God, he automatically becomes a man of God and u must try to slander God for what that person does.. mtchew

mediaNGR:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), Benin Zonal Office has arrested a Bishop and suspected fraudster, Giniko Obi, for allegedly defrauding thousands of people of various sums of money running into millions of naira, in the guise of helping them “fight poverty”.

A statement released by the acting spokesperson of the antigraft agency, Tony Orilade, says Obi who is the founder of Beloved
Gideon Foundation, based in Agbor, Delta State, with outreaches in Bayelsa, Onitsha, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Benin City, denied any involvement in fraud claiming that he was only “doing the will of God by trying to help the people fight poverty”.

According to Obi, it was his desire and God’s will to see people prosper that led him into operating what appears to be a Ponzi Scheme. Obi who claim to be a consecrated Bishop, possessing a diploma in theology explains thus:



According to him, when he left Agbor for Lagos, his desire was to expand his subscription base but his subscribers were impatient.



One of them, Janet Amaka Okafor, said the Bishop sold a dummy to them by claiming that he was from the famous Gideons International, based in the United States.

According to her



On how she became a victim of the scheme, Okafor, 35, who claims she has never participated in any ponzi scheme in the past said she fell for his tricks because the “Bishop” swore with the bible.
