businessmind: @Pastor Kun...

What exactly is your intention.....what exactly do you want to achieve? Are you saying ALL pastors are like politicians? Can you confidently stand before God and say that what you have done here will build up the church and people or further worsen the situation?

Good people of Nigeria, let us beware of people like our dear Pastor Kun because we all know that most of those who criticize others usually have some skeletons in their own cupboards. We thought brother farouk lawan was a man of integrity but alas!!!! I hope pastor kun is not another farouk!!!!!

Remove the log in your own eyes before you remove the speck in the eyes of others!!
Now, turn around, face me, and search for even one reason why God will not continue to bless u. U see? No reason!

God is a patient God. It's somewhat disheartening to see that most of the Pentecostal Pastors now pursue self-fortune and fame as to serving their flocks. Poor pastors are now using the rich pastors as people they would love to become. They now crave for the wealth of these pastors and would do anything to get there.

You see a new pastor in a Church today, very vibrant and enthusiastic about serving God, the next time you see him he'd be thinking about having his own Church. Why? 'cause he now know how much money is coming in for the Church he's pastoring. They all want to have their own Church! What happened to being in one Church and serve forever? What happened to the thousands of Churches around whose chairs are still being filled? Must these 'pastors' start a new Church? And if they have to leave, have they thought about joining an existing Church?

Is God then so disorganize that HE would tell every one of these so-called 'pastors' to leave a Church (some leave with fight)that have nurtured them and start a new one? And they all have the same story line " When I heard the call". What 'call'? Call to service or call to making money and extorting the gullible and naive?

Christians are bunch of hypocrites especially those that attends Christ Embassy, Winners, Redeemed, Rhema and lots more. CE members even finds it a big deal to go to another Church when invited. These bunch don't even invite pastors from another denomination to their sect, always citing "they are hypocrites".

"Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm" isn't referring to the likes of the Oyedepos, Adeboyes' the Oyakhilomes and so forth. These guys have taken Christianity to a whole new level, yes, new level of corruption, distortion, brainwashing, and above all, out of context preaching.

The Bible says "judge righteous judgement",yes, not just "judge not" that so many gullible Christians are aware of, which mean criticize that which is bad and rebuke sharply that which is evil. Nathan confronted and rebuked David on his sin with Bathsheba (1 Sam. 12). So did General Joab, who confronted David on his sinful conduct after the death of his son Absalom (2 Sam. 19:5-cool. Many abusive leaders misuse that verse to say they are above criticism, but that is a misuse of that text to keep themselves accountable to no one.

Why don't we just build one big Church in each town and attend together e.g people of Ikeja will attend the Ikeja one, so also, people of Alausa their own. There will be no more this denomination thing and fraud would then be minimize.

Pastor Kun: No wonder we are not making good progress in this country.When preachers who should be the salt of the earth are neck deep in the system of the world.

U the poster is a moslem.U are part of the nairaland grand scheme of rubishing the name of geniun pastors who preach nothing evil.The fact remains that

1)Pastors do not preach evil and they don't force you to pay tithes.Any money that goes to the church is out of free will.Jesus rode on a donkey which was like a Rolce Royce today.

2)Pastors do not preach murder,terrorism and rape cos jesus did not teach that unlike that blood thirsty religion of piss

3)Pastors do not preach hatred of infidels

4)Pastors do not preach stealing from infidels

5)Pastors do not preach to christians to lie to infidels

6)Pastors do not preach to christians to molest slaves or non christians(infidels)

7)Pastors do not preach honour killing which means a muslim father should strangle his wife or daughter to death if they commit adultery or fornication

3)Pastors do not preach slave keeping

Please leave pastors alone or God will course u the way did to Abiola for sinking and burning containers of bibles.

I rather listen to pastors than Imams because ,at least there are chances of seein the light rather than the darkness of a Genocidal prophet

dis life is very complex. deep evaluation of events all over keeps convincing/confusing me on certain issues that m even scared to share. every passing day i get an extra reason to doubt the existence n credibility of some things. I think there is an exaggeration or a total non existence of one particular concept. If not why are things the way they are...why are people with least inclination to a supreme being d most successful. I just wonder.

mu2sa2: I really dont understand Nigerian Christianity. Every one of the 000s of denominations is claiming to in the right. Some even dont allow their members to marry Christians not members of their Church. Pls can anyone tell me whether these churches are preaching Christianity or self-interest. And the stupendously rich pastors(overseer, prophet or whatever title) that hav amassed vast personal fortunes - are they following the example of Jesus? Pls anybody with answer may educate me.


Let me just ask. Are you always this open-minded when Islam or your Imams are subjects of discussion?

There is no God. Man has already explained most of these things with science and without god.


The earth orbits around the sun



I guess u're up to date with the present findings in science of the so called "Higgins particle" or "God particle". A prominent scientist present in d presentation of d particle was asked if this latest finding nw nullifies the belief in God? He many scientific responses as to what d particle can help reveal about the true nature of the earth bt a fundamental question remains... Why was the "Higgins particle there?" With this he says, one cannot completely erase the notion of a God. GOD EXISTS....

My brother i think i understand your plight. You see living in this cold world should be very simple,at least that is what God our creator intended it to be from the very begining with the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. He just wanted both to follow a simple instruction he laid down for them and all of human race would have been living in peace. But no,they disobeyed Him(God) courtesy of the Devil tempting and confusing them to do the contrary.


If you look deeply you will see that same pattern is still playing out in the most basic level even till this very day. Life is meant to be simple when we keep our focus on God and get our minds off the distractions of the devil and its whims he uses to distract us like money,wealth accumulation,women etc the minute we focus our minds on these,the more our reasoning our lives become more complex by the day and thereby eluding us of the peace of mind we ordinarily should enjoy be being contented with the basic things of life God has provided us with.


We humans should strive to live a life of contentment and humility which Jesus Christ himself exemplified in his short life on earth and which God originally intended for mankind in the garden of Eden! Anything farther from this is what is causing the whole world to be in the confusion it is facing today.


But never make anyone decieve you that God does not exist for we can attest to the existence of His Supernatural existence in alot of ways even if man has disappointed Him. Look around and you will feel the existence of His Mighty works,you dont need a pastor to show that to you. Truth is God shares and wants to share a rich personal,one on one relationship with each human being as He did with Adam and Eve before the fall and dont need an intermediary in the form of a pastor,overseer or what not to do that.

NB: I am not a pastor but an ordinary man trying to discover life too just like you

the best nigerians can do is to stop going to church. what borders me the most is that no matter how hard one tries to make people see the light, some fools will still object. people should stop going to church and marry their bible. that's all they need to progress. the bible says it all and you dont need a holy spirit to translate any thing to you. if you understand simple english then you will understand whatever the bible is saying. the 10% of your earnings that is supposed to be paid as tithe should be giving to the poor and needy amongs others. Never pay your tithe to any church as you cant even tell where the money is going to. one thing you must know...if you give you tithe to the needy, You have paid your tithe in that form as you have obeyed Gods will. If God were to collect the tithe by himself, dont you think he would give it to the poor in need. think about it. If Nigerians can think and see things from this perspective, Nigeria would be a better place. The poor have to stop making the rich richer while they get poorer.
