Pentecostalism has become a cancer in our society.

We have one of the highest rate of road fatalities in the world today even though we probably pray more than any other country when embarking on a journey.
So my point is that given the data available it is safe to conclude that relying on prayer is ineffective and appears to have absolutely no correlation to road safety. Therefore, it would be the height of stùpidity on our part to think that prayers which does not work on road can somehow be effective on planes.

There is a very rear condition called chimerism which I think the father of the girl might have.
Basically, the man has two different dna and depending on the organ or part of his body that is tested, the result can be totally different.
You can google chimerism for a detailed explanation.

He could keep the statues by telling the authorities that the shrine is an expression of his faith which is protected by law from discrimination.

eaglechild:
Class for God who made him.

Class my foot, I hope you are being sarcastic.

So he is too big to kneel in God's presence.

He should focus on the task ahead we will not eat charisma.

Perhaps we are talking about two different pictures. The one I saw has President Jonathan kneeling in front of Pastor Adeboye and no one else, unless of course Pastor Adeboye has now become God.

mbulela:
All the prayers fired on a kneeling GEJ proved otherwise.

My friend, just play along and stop using facts to get in the way of our make belief.

.

If it was Jonathan that was being prayed for he would have knelt down before the so called man of God without any sense of dignity for himself and his office.
The guy has no class. As president, his demeanour and charisma was like that of a village idìot who through good fortune alone became lord of a masion.

kelvine:
Not again...spiritual things
Pray before you move. The enemies of Nigeria are on the highway now.

This has absolutely nothing to do with prayer and spiritual stuff but every thing to do with our cavalier attitude towards road and industrial safety.
The truth is that the widely held superstitious beliefs like yours among Nigerians is a major contributing factor why we as a society elevate prayer over safety.

I do not believe that the process is as easy or as viable as the article portrayed it to be otherwise Audi would have exited the car business to make tones of money as an energy company.

Audi has created a so-called 'green' diesel fuel made using a combination of water and carbon dioxide.

The car manufacturer described its breakthrough as the 'fuel of the future' and claims it could provide a carbon neutral way of powering vehicles.

Experts used renewable energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into a form of crude oil known as 'blue crude', which was then refined into diesel.

And this was how the synthetic fuel was made

Audi's fuel was developed with Sunfire, a Dresden-based energy technology company.

To make the fuel, water is first heated to form steam which is then broken down into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen using high-temperature electrolysis.

By performing this process at temperatures above 800°C (1,472°F), the water breaks down with greater efficiency than at room temperature.

The hydrogen is then pumped into a reactor with carbon dioxide at high pressure and high temperatures. This causes them to react to produce long-chained liquid hydrocarbons.

Hydrocarbons are the basic building block of all fossil fuels, but the compounds produced in the reactor are known as 'blue crude'.

Audi claims the whole process can be powered using renewable energy and can be achieved with an efficiency of around 70%. The blue crude can then be refined in a similar way to standard crude oil to produce e-diesel.

I don't know the month.. but the day is 18...

If it was 18, then Bernard would have known straight away that the month is june since 18 was listed once. so it cannot be the 18th.

Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates.
May 15 May 16 May 19
June 17 June 18
July 14 July 16
August 14 August 15 August 17
Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.
Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.
Bernard: At first I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now.
Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl’s birthday is.
So when is Cheryl’s birthday?

Nice progress. The next hurdle is how to distinguish between a run away greenhouse oven like venus, or a dry desolate low pressure frozen waste land like mars from our lovely blue planet earth since all three lie in the habitable zone.

EverestdeBliu:
I don't know y I still don't totally believe that other planets apart from earth exists.

The fact that you still have doubt about the existence of of other planets within our solar system says a lot about the quality of education we have in nigeria.

@adexmuhyi
It is for topics like this that the muslim only section was created.

@Daninya11.
The letter J is not present in Hebrew the language spoken by the Israelites of old and present day Jews. Jesus in Israel is Yehoshua or Yeshua; Juada is Yehuda; Jacob is Ya'akov; Jerusalem is Yerushalaim.
As you can see none of the names starts with a J as was pronounced by the israelites. The J is a greco latin corruption of the superior letter Y.

A picture is worth more than a thousand words.

brocab:
I tithed once because I was a sucker in believing in the lie.

So glad to know that you are no longer under the bondage of tithe. Did this forum help you in anyway to come to the understanding that christians are neither required nor obligated to pay tithe?

jdilight:
First you need to understand the need for tithing. Abraham tithed because God gave him victory, Jacob did the same because God took him to Laban and brought him back with more than he went with. They both gave tithe in appreciation of what God did for them not as obligation.

Now lets assume there was no levi and no law for tithing, will you appreciate God with your substance. If God has done something for you and you don't want to appreciate him no one punishes you for that.

I hear people say the law of tithe is not bidding on christian as if there is a law of tithe in the first place.

Explain please how one is to appreciate God with his substance. And show with examples from the bible how the early christians abided by this principle.
Would giving my money to the needy as Jesus asked someone to do count as appreciating God with my substance, or must someone go to the G.O for it to count?

Where is Joagbaje when he is needed by Benny Hinn? I wonder what their excuse will be when Pastor Chris' Hospital patronage becomes public.

I bet it won't be long now before a highly edited video of T B Joshua predicting this disaster will surface.

There is not one person among Benny Hinn house hold and core staff member that doesn't have a proper health insurance, is that not ironic coming from one of the worlds foremost miracle merchant?

wordcat:
Most of the popular pastors we know today are all Atheists. By their actions u will know them but because of what they are benefiting from the gullible ones they refused to publicly admit that there's NO god.

Weah96:
True talk. I've said it here before. Every faith healing church is run by an atheist pastor. I'm willing to bet my left foot.

If we look at the way these men hold on to this life and their insatiable desire for amassing ever more earthly possessions in the midst of poverty, one is forced to conclude that they may actually not believe in the message they sell to the poor masses.

jdilight:
Yes, because Jesus fulfilled that law. So where did Jesus fulfill the law of tithing?

My point is that you cannot use the argument that tithing predates the law as a justification for tithing as you did in the last paragraph of you previous post.
Abraham tithed just once, so are you saying that christians should tithe only once like Abraham?
While it is true that some servants of God paid tithe before the Law was established, it was usually a one off payment like that of Abraham. The regular payment of tithe came with the establishment of the Law. So don't you think that it will make more sense that regular tithing would no longer be applicable to christians if the law that made tithing regular is annulled for christians?

jdilight:
First of all l want to let you know that am not a pastor and has never claim to be one as you.

With the aforementioned, I have no benefit from your tithing except like Jesus to see the gospel of my Father spread to the ends of the world.

What my pastor does with mine tithe is not my business but Gods business. From this l will let you no that am not as envious of people as you are. Your comment unvails your envy of pastors whom you see live large and your small mind tells you its a product of your tithe. Be released from the bandage of envy.

Lastly, before there was the law of tithe as put up by you. Abraham and Jacob has given tithe. Its a tradition of gratitude to God.

From Abel onwards before the law was established it was common practice for servant of God to give burnt offering to God, but I gues you don't do that anymore even though animal sacrifice predates the law.

okies

Do you know that Benny Hinn ministries had to pay a large amount of money as settlement to a deaf and dumb man in Brazil to stop him from pressing charges after he was severly beaten up by Benny Hinn's son during a crusade?
All he wanted was to get close to the pastor for some healing anointing. But the pasto's son and two body guards pounced on the deaf man.
You can read the full story here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2280403/Evangelist-Benny-Hinns-son-arrested-Brazil-beating-deaf-dumb-man-fathers-events.html

JayTeeA:
its really not about benny hinn for me.. one thing I'm always grateful for is that God allows every1 access to the bible n a personal rltnshp with Him.. Know God for yourself and not what Benny hinn or any man of God tells you.. if Benny hinn is a false teacher den let God b his judge.. bt my point is even if you're ready to go to heaven you dont have to suffer sickness.. that has already been paid for.. You can die peacefully I tink God prefers it that way..

My dear, open your eyes and become wise. None of us came to our present understanding of christianity just by reading the bible on our own. Whatever you may think you know from the bible is just a product of the angle you were fed by the pastors that caught your attention.
That is why you have believers of every shades and creed all supporting their various and often divergent belief from the bible.
What action did our almighty Pastor Oyedepo The gate keeper of Hell take when his wife was seriously ill?
He took his wife to one of the best hospital in America for treatment.
The late Bishop Benson Idahosa was known to be receiving regular medical treatment while claiming to have healing superpowers.
The bible says that sin brought death into the world, so as long as we all shall surely die, then we must all fall sick and age as we approach death.

The religion of peace has a lot of wickedly evil laws.

JayTeeA:
den I hope when the knowledge of doctors fails u won't b part of those idiots who will run to pastors for prayers..

people just dont get it.. the knowledge of science was given by God Himself to help us.. but that doesn't mean it was meant to take His place as an ultimate solution.. dnt wait fr d doctors to say its a dead end bfr u turn to God..

prayer shud still b d number one action den d doctor.. and even wen u'r at d doctor- Pray!
God bless you

Is heaven such a bad place that one would want to postpone crossing over by any means possible, or is it that those selling you false teaching are already enjoying their heaven here on earth by means of the sweat of your labour?
The fact that Pastor Benny was promptly taken to the hospital at the first sign of trouble should be an indication to you that the guy does not believe in the crap he sells to people like you.

wordcat:
If mugu no fall, how u wan make guy-man wack?

I am sure that when this guy gets discharged from the hospital there will be more than a few dozen idiots at the ready, jostling among themselves for the distinct honour and privilege of being the one to pay for his treatment as a form of thanksgiving to Almighty Hinn. Not that he can't afford to pay it himself.

So pastor Benny does not have as much faith as the foòls who come to him for healing.
