O...i've heard u. Try nd reread our posts nd then visit dt link by goshen360, i rest my case.

[quote author=i.chuka]We don't do the correction in public,it had to be done in private(between you and the person).[/quote]same goes for others dt r not 'men of god'...but when public correction is required, nothing stops u...paul once corrected peter publicly.

[quote author=emöfine2]The idea was that a doll like god is present and captured in some sort in every society. So I thus used the two entities as a point of comparison.



I never said that, I cited those famous quotes to actually highlight my reverse analogy.



That’s not the point. I used dolls as metaphors to examine different interpretations and what can be or is considered legitimate or not and according to whom or what.



Yep or lack of it. So in the absence of such what do we thus turn to? Explanations are not always given so we may consider other things when interpreting a subject especially that in which we’re not familiar with.



+1[/quote]there is no way one can' t be exposed, d only thing is dt exposition is in degrees...i didn't really get ur last point about interpretation.

@i.chucka, u sef, all this pple u quoted had a problem with motive nd not d act of correction. They were dealt with cos their motives was wrong not because they were not supposed to correct. Paul corrected peter nd there was no recorded consequence but miriam a prophetess corrected moses nd there was consequence. R u seeing it...if ur motive is right...to bring d person on d right way...go ahead nd give it, whether d person is bishop, etc, it shouldn't matter, just do it with wisdom. Remember my point; its ok to correct a man of god.

I think u should take a break from d job search nd get ur hubby to believe in ur ability...if a woman gets a man to believe in her, he'll let u live ur dream...u can ask our married actresses...

@op, there's no rship btw doll nd God judging from ur post. You said God made man nd man made God, Man made doll...but then doll didn't make man. Let's use a little math...if god made man=a, man made god=b, and man made doll=c. It then follows dt b=c but not a. U get? Dt means dt doll equals 'god dt is man made' BUT d true God is NOT 'man made'. Again, perception is affected by exposition so d basic thing dt affects our interpretation is EXPOSITION. @logicboy get exposed right

@op introduce her to mouth wash nd ensure she uses it, if it persists after days then take her to a doctor...but love overlooks certain things especially mouth odour...don't tell her, take action, somethings are better left unsaid

@id this one pass u bah. u dey run? @op werin u say do u? She is not single

[quote author=i.chuka]Jesus said "If your brother sins against you,go and show him his fault,JUST BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.......Matt18:13-17"
We shouldn't uncover the unclothedness of our brothers in public.by doing this,implies that the spirit of rebellious dwelleth in us.[/quote]u see, 'if ur bro sins against u', some ministers make mistake dt can make them miss d mark, nd this mistake may not be against u in particular but u sense this man is making a costly mistake. Its good dt he be called to order whether publicly or privately as long as in d end d aim of straightening him is achieved...at this point, d person should not take offence nd quote touch not blah blah. U get me. Its very very ok to correct a man of god because all ur critics may not be wrong afterall.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Goodmorning. . . [/color]

how's ur day? Hope it was as smooth as ice...

walexydon: still tryin @ crack up some riddles....plz post urs if u av!!!

in d mean tym, answer this:

I av 6 hands
2 heads
5 legs
7 ears
4 mouths
3 eyes

what am i

u r u nah...meanwhile what's d ans to d previous riddle?

@i.chuka if we should pray for them then we might as well pray for every other believer without reproving them cos its also dangerous seeing dt we r all ministers of reconciliation...

Goodmorning killz...

@i.chuka, ur interpretation of this story is wonderful. May i call ur attention to d fact dt my post concerns 'men of god' being corrected...d story u shared from d bible teaches me dt god looks at d motive more than he does d act, ham told his brothers not so they do something about it but he was mocking his dad. Get my point clear, a man of god in this our time shouldn't use touch not my anointed to shield himself from reproof/correction...dt's wrong cos he might end up destroying himself. This teaching of 'a man of god should not be corrected cos d bible says touch not my anointed' blah blah is d bane of most ministers. I believe god can use anybody to effect correction, nd our response to correction is an indication of whether we r proud or not nd most men of god nd their followers resist correction with self defence mechanism using d word nd dt's terrible. Again, as per ur post...i don't encourage public correction (though dt should be implemented when necessary) of a man of god for d sake of respect, not withstanding, a man of god should learn to take correction even from a child when necessary for his own good. When d word said d scripture is given for...reproof etc, it didn't specify except for a man of god.

Goshen360: Do NOT wish to derail your thread but same thread had been treated here: https://www.nairaland.com/866519/touch-not-anointed-taken-out

However, if you want your thread independent, then I can remove the link and/modify my comment.

tx, i didn't see d thread b4 opening, if i had, i wouldn't have opened this...i think u should leave ur post as it serves as a link, i bet pple will learn a lot. Goodmorning dear.

A lot of times, pple quote this verse of scripture in d bid to get you to stop pointing out d wrongs of a man of god. They even go as far as adding touch not; by words or by pen...thereby scaring people from saying what they want to say. I think its wrong to so do, this is because, first of all, christ d anointed one was touched, even harmed- with respect to this, who is a 'man of god' not to recieve d same treatment if not more, afterall is he not a follower of christ and shouldn't he expect anything more than what was done to his master? Again, every follower of christ recieves a 100 fold of whatever he left behind to follow plus persecution which can come in d form of touch or harm and d forerunners of d gospel of christ counted it joy when they were persecuted, for instance paul was flogged, stoned severally, yet he did not quote d 'touch not' verse, how come today's men of god do d opposite? A true man of god dt is full of love shouldn't quote dt verse cos d verse can be equated with calling fire from heaven like elijah did...let's learn from d master who said to his disciple when they threatened to bring fire from heaven...'you don't know d kind of spirit you have'...people of god ought to have sweet spirit and not breathe fire from their nostrils when 'provoked'. Moreover, if u are a man of god, its ok for people to criticise u; some of these criticism r constructive and will help you grow but if u reject them with threats of how god is going to fight for you, you may end up not improving and then be among the ones d master will say to- depart from me ye workers of iniquity. Comments r welcome.

sammirano: are you just stupid or so is everyone else blaming the pastor, even as you're replying me now if i could see u i will slap you. Be wise and watch that video closely again.

is ur emotion at play or r u led?

sammirano: the devil has deluded you into thinking irationally and you following suit into destruction beware of the wrath of God upon you. Even if what he did was wrong it shouldn't come From your rotten mouth.

did i just hear u say even if what he did was wrong, it shouldn't come out of ur mouth? Let me assume u meant something else nd not what u just said but if u meant what u meant what u just said, then i must remind u dt u r to correct one another...speaking d truth in love...nd pastors r not exempted from reproof ok?

[quote author=aybaba73@yahoo.co.uk]from a physical point of view it might look wrong 4 d bishop to slap d girl but i knw dat God ll neva allow his servant to be humilated by any judicial system. Afteral, a diciple of christ cut off an ear of a soldier dat wanted to arrest jesus. Jesus rebuked him because physicaly it was wrong 4 him to do wot he did. Oyedepo is an apostle of d living God. D God who said dat touch not my servant n do my prophet no harm is still alive. I knw he ll never allow bishop oyedepo to be humilated by any judicial system any where. Am a living witness to instances were those dat tried to humilate d late benson idahosa of blessed memory, met calamities of different degrees. Jugdes n lawyers were badly affected,afflicted n some even lost dia lives in d proccess. D petitioners had gud cases but d God who called him was wrathed n stood by him. Those who were called as witness against d archbishop together with d petitioners died under funny circumstances. Those dat re stil alive 2day re stil struggling. D struggle has caught up wit dia children. I knw many of dem in benin. I knw exactly wot am talking abt. Dis is a war b/wn d kindom of darkness n d kindom of heaven. I jst pity dat lawer dat took up d case. We wil all see wot ll happen. Am nt d bishop's member but i knw a little of how God operates. Pls mind d way u talk against d bishop because God wil nt leave him at dis time.[/quote]what do u mean god will not allow his servant to be humiliated by any judicial system? Did god tell him to slap pple? God told him to cast d demon out. D god u just described is d god u created nd not d god who is for d god who is loves d lawyer, judge, petitioners nd d witnesses alike, mind u, but d god u created will hate them for tampering with 'his' servant. Selah

walexydon: The question is ow r dose calculations possible

dt's it, those calculations seem impossible

Morning kilz, i'd responded to ur request d second time this morning nd dunno if u got it, did u?

@op good advice. @gemstone...u really r a gem stone.

[quote author=MeGaStReEt][/quote]lol...> joke section abeg

There r so many factors dt can make a marriage not to work. Some of these r pple oriented while others r culture oriented but then there's d factor dt has been neglected for a while by pple nd dt is d fact dt some pple r born to remain single. Most pple r not suppose to marry but cos of ignorance they dabble into marriage nd end up ruining their partner. D most important thing in this life is to live a fulfilled life whether single or married...to live a fulfilled life entails fulfilling one's purpose for coming into this world. Before u marry, make sure u r called to marry.

No question

crossman9: you lost the truth then because this fool does not read the bible jesus was without sin

calling someone a fool, does it show u walk in love...By this shall all men know dt u r mine. Also, whosoever shall say raka to his brother shall not enter d kingdom. Raka means fool.

@apostlepat, someone pls transcribe d message for me, i don't have access to a system nd my java phone won't download it...i must commend u apostle for making a u-turn.
