I wonder why the"holy Bibles" wouldn't be a yardstick to define this religion.
I am amazed as to why the Christendom happened to be a multifaceted religion with different notions beyond required.

Roman Catholic bible has number of 73 books and the Protestant has 66, which one is reduced and which has increased?

Let this church of England better fold if it is only this kind of nonsense it will be talking every now and then. It seems they can never preach Christ.

LGBT . .these people are the worst set of people in the world.

The "LGB" part has the potential to cause trouble but guys, it's the "T" part that you should fear, they will tear the world apart.

Just read up on transgender ideology and you will understand

This same people imposed their religion on us,kept us in captivity,made us to abandon our traditional beliefs and carted away our artifacts and mineral resources till date!
Yet,we still carry their religion on to our heads like gala and look down on ours.
Thank God I no longer go to church or believe in any stupid religion!
I’m a proud and fulfilled traditionalist!

God is Love.

The Bible Reckons This.

Truly; God has No Gender.
so Jesus that called God our Father, he is stupid, right? This homo thing is the 666 the Bible warned us about.We have seen people who lost their means of livelihood because they rejected the homo nonsense.

Righteousness2:


As it was in days of Noah and Lot, so it is right now.
I weep for our Generation....
I weep for the ungodly and reprobates of this generation.
I weep for Humanity!

If we only we understood the times and Seasons that we are in..
If only we understood the Destruction, calamity and Disaster that is about to sweep this our generation .

My admonishment to those who want to Hear is to COME OUT From among them and be separate.
Make your ways right with JESUS CHRIST.

Do not Directly or indirectly support or advance this Wickedness and abominations sweeping through the earth.

Live ready! Live in tge conciousness of your Eternity.

The Coming of JESUS Christ is Imminent! WATCH and PRAY so that you will be counted Worthy to Escape what is coming on this Earth
.


Christ is Here Already:

They are right though.

I've always thought it's misogynistic to refer to God as HE.

God should be THEY. God doesn't have a gender.

Umm . .you are a fool of the highest order

You Africans are too Emotional People....

What Do You Know about Yahweh(Jews of Name God) ... You don't know more than those people that Marketed God to You .. The British ....

Don't Worry, Your Future Generations would refer to God as English Call Am if You are Stubborn enough not to Change ...



God is not Your Father ... God is God and God doesn't Have Gender ..... Neither a Man nor a Woman .... So God is a "IT" to Me not a "He or She"....

That's Doesn't Mean I'm Disrespectful to God ...But Acknowledging the Truest Nature of God as Non-Gender !


Man I have read about different religions and their creation stories be it mythological or real
What they point out is the use of a gender based pronouns apart from the sub gods. Why it is so it is because of the way these beings showed themselves to their worshippers, you can’t tell me a traditionalists refer to their spirit gods or ancestors who transcended to gods as “it” except they are collectively referred. You go with the point of the religion sold to us and you use their language in addressing same thing, brother to each it’s own and what they believe, mind you this is Church of England and not church of Africa nor Nigeria, the bible spoke about the controversies that will surround the church and how different people will come with their narratives of what they feel like the church of God should be. Even if the bible is written by men doesn’t it amazes you that things that has happened and still happening now correlate with the scripture? Even the Muslim quaran highlighted things that has happened so y’all with the narrative of all these religion jumbo talks are only virtue signaling and consoling your self because deep within you there’s a conflict.

Church is about collapsing on its own weight. Obviously, there's nothing like Supreme being as it has been church teachings for centuries.

Even as someone who doesn't believe this makes no sense. The Bible clearly uses he, him and father to address the god. Maybe it's time they admit it's all just a fairytale.

Roman Catholic bible has number of 73 books and the Protestant has 66, which one is reduced and which has increased?

This is as the result of Protestant church which argues that the added number of books isn’t necessary as they are just stories which was written as extra, it was considered a myth. They are the canonical books though the passages are insightful and inspirational.

Their madness is now beyond repair. I will not be suprise if Africa follows their pattern. Satan will always place his men/women in top positions in churches before he takes over. To every Christian know this: Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. Put your trust on Christ alone, not your pastor. Hebrews 12:2.

African Anglicans have been regularly breaking ranks with the Church of England and the western Anglicans. Did you not see a recent viral video of Nigerian Anglicans in the US chasing away a gay priest
