They aren't Christians... Christianity is about being exactly like Christ in words and deed!

You can't be like Christ in words and deeds if you don't follow him closely and intimately.

I advised a christian to forgive

Lai lai she said she will not forgive.

I weak.. Abeg i am done.

ok

They don't have any relationship with the Holy Spirit.

. Religion has become a lucrative business.The more you deviate the more you make money! Jesus preached from door to door how many churches are doing this today? 2 Are Most Revd Most Senior Apostle ..Baba Ijo Iya Ijo etc in the Bible and in the First Century congregations established by Jesus? 3 Did Christians in post Jesus era pay tithes? 4 Did first century chritians have three wives or two wives? 5. How many churches today use the Bible in thier teachings? 6 Are the church jamborees today established by Jesus? True christianinty is about preaching about God's kingdom and living life of devotion to God. Regrettably as prophesied by Jesus there are imitation christians today

Rather follow sango, oya, ogun etc.

Because they are not Christians. They are FAKE Christians

Do you even know what is to follow Jesus.


The core teachings and techniques of Jesus are not even in the bible.

The secrets of his miracles, his growth.

I guess to you following Jesus means obeying the bible.

If that is it, everyone is following Jesus.

Christians know very well that the idiotic pacifism thought by Jesus is impossible. They can't ever follow his teachings. They just love to talk about how their Jesus talked about love. They will tell you that you are to love your enemies, love your neighbors as your self, turn the other cheek and the other nonsense Jesus said they should do that they NEVER follow. They only talk about it. Jesus went as far as saying that if a person takes your shirt you are to give him your coat. He encouraged his followers to run away when prosecuted instead of fighting back.

The new testament is filled with idiotic pasifism that no christian ever follows. They NEVER follow it. They only keep repeating it like robots. They know very well that it is all nonsense and impossible to follow any of the nonsense Jesus said.

This is because Christ did not come with a brutal force of conquest. He came with the good news. There is no force greater than love on earth! You can fight and retaliate till tomorrow and never get to live in peace if you do not let go! Any other message contrary to this is false. You know it deep down,I know it deep down. Do me I do you will never work!!!!

Because they are not Christians.

They are Pharisees

Most of them are mostly discouraged by what their so called men of God are doing, those hypocrite preach B and does C

Why should we,is he God?it's better you follow your on ancestors well than a white man..he was a prophet and not God..Jesus can never be my God,I'm done with the lies the white people brought for us..my creator is my God and he is not the one on the pictures you kneel to.

May God in His infinite mercy bring you out of darkness into His marvelous light. The hate is just too much.

If you must know, all that it takes to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ precept by precept is the “Holy Spirit”

Simple, it is absolute lunacy and fetish to follow the dead.

Dem no feature WANDECOAL ni...

No Christians follows Jesus closely. If they do they will not be singing and dancing in a Church for what they wrongly believe to be worship. Instead, they will be praying as Jesus himself did Mathew 26 v 39, that is,

"Going a little further, he (Jesus) fell on his face and prayed"

Jesus also disproved his being called good much less God. His reply was " there is only one that is good, that is God". So stop calling him God to be close to him. In fact, Jesus unequivocally said "my father is greater than I". So why do you believe > is the same as = ?
Women followers of Christ wore veil, why do your mothers, daughters and sisters wear mini skirt to church?

So no Christians of today have NOTHING to do with Jesus. Stop deceiving yourself.

This was today’s topic in the Open Heavens devotional manual. It was a moment of deep reflection for me.

You know, being indifferent will give you some peace, while hate will only consume you.

It's time to kill those thoughts before it kills you

Not only some, almost all if not all self.
They are all hypocrites, they're not following him.
They neither act or lives like him

Everything about jesus is fiction

What you interpreted as "idiotic pacifism" is the foundation of Christianity and it is meant to make a Christian to RELY on the HOLY SPIRIT and not on SELF.

The Christian love is anchored on OVERCOMING SELF(ISHNESS) and to focus on God. Read Jesus Christ response to a question:

Matthew 22:36-40 KJV
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

These are the goals of the Christian life... attaining the state of heart that loves God and man unconditionally. God bless you.

hopefulLandlord:

No. Hate is a waste of energy.

Simply Because they don't read the bible, they only listen to men of God. And many men of God are fraud, fake , and they don't study the word ..

The few real men of God who teach the good news are hard to locate.

When you meet the person that explains the bible to you in good content. You will see and now the truth , even get to see fake and fraud pastors with ease..

Not an easy task.

His teachings are hard

Jn 6:60-69

On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

61Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit e and life. 64Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”

66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

67“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.

68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
