BluntTheApostle:
My opinion? You are free to research. I am very busy and should not even be replying. If I had the time, I could get materials from the Early Christians. You can do that.

And for your information, I am a theologian and a former pastor who pastored for five solid years. I already had a certificate in Church History long before I went to Bible institute and there are some truths I could tell you that would shake your faith.

Wonderful.
I think because you are a bible scholar and a former pastor, you should actually include your sources. That's what most scholars of your caliber do.

Your inputs are highly welcome here (speaking of myself) because hungry souls like myself love to learn and grow in this faith walk from the enlightenment we receive from extremely educated expositors like you.

Also, if what Paul presented in his teachings (however controversial it may have been from the view point of the original apostles) was not heretical or fake, then I have no problem accepting it.

is it possible that the case of Paul is a testimony of God's grace to former renegades like myself and an encouragement that men (the original apostles) can despise you but you should hold your head up because God shows no favoritism?

BluntTheApostle:
Yes, there were groups that followed the Apostles and the ones that followed Paul (the Pauline Christians).

The ones that followed the Apostles, especially, the Ebonites, were the earliest Christians. "Ebonites" means "the poor" and one could think of them as the Jerusalem Church.

For your second question, the Apostles merely tolerated Paul. They never endorsed his writings. At least, no evidence in the Bible. Or in church history.

In other words the epistles to the Romans, Corinthians,Galatians,Ephesians,Philippians,Colossians,Thessalonians, Timothy,Titus, Philemon are satanic writtings. and also the gospels according to Marc and Luke and the book of acts should be destroyed from the bible.
Only the letters of James, John, Matthew,1 Peter, Jude and Revelation should be kept.

The Ebionites (Not Ebonites as you called them), second century heretics and ancestors of modern day jehovah's witnesses who rejected the divinty of Christ should be recognized as authentic disciples of Christ.

Are you an Ebionite?

BluntTheApostle:
Read my post again. Paul founded Christianity as we know it.

You think today's Christianity can be compared to the Church that Paul persecuted?

Why do you even think they were called Christians in the first instance?

Do you think today's churches are worthy of being called Christians?

Compare the teachings of Jesus with that of Paul and see which one is the bedrock of today's churches.

I am having a hard time understanding you Sir.
Are you saying that there are 2 groups of disciples. The ones who followed Christ and the ones who follow Paul?
Paul being the founder of what you call "Today's christian" (whatever that means).

Please break it down for me.
Did the original apostles of Christ like Peter, endorse the writings of Paul?

BluntTheApostle:
Paul founded Christianity as we know it.

If you must know, Paul's doctrine even caused a rift between him and the Apostles.

Were there disciples of Christ before Paul?
Before he became a disciple of the Lord, did he persecute the church?

Jesus Christ established a group of followers called "Disciples". the people of Antioch (Syria), nicknamed the disciples "Christians" ( those who are Christ-like). Acts 11:26.
The Jews and the Romans tried their best to annihilate the Disciples, but ended up becoming disciples themselves.

Who founded Christianity?
#Jesus Christ.

zionmede:
OP if u are a Christian then I feel very sorry for u
Its dangerous to play politics in matters concerning the house of God. if you find LFC as a place where God is worshipped in spirit and in truth why don't u just keep worshipping God and stop dabbling into succession politics. Bishop Oyedepo was alone wen God gave him the mandate, He doesn't need and man's opinion to hand it over to anyone he says God wants him to handover to

Wow!!!
Thus saith the slave

all night?
what for?

Nope. she can keep her god of mammon to herself

M0ron:
Spirit wives nd husbands are a figment if your hallucinations. Your hormones are raging.

Very true.
there are no such things as spiritual spouses. if there were any, logic would stipulate that there are also spiritual dads and moms and cousins and sons in law and spiritual uber drivers and spiritual united states of america, spiritual bathrooms and bla bla bla.

This is why Christianity in Africa has become a joke.

jared007:
Keep speaking ill of Men of God and be smiling. Tomorrow when an incurable sickness or accident hit u[b][/b], u would start seeking pity parties to sorry for u not knowing the law of cause and effect is in action.

Wow!
this is how bad the brainwashing has become.
Turning people into slaves of bloodsucking pastors.
This is no different than what slave masters did 400 years ago.

Nobody.
especially Pastor and Bae, those two can go screw themselves.

lenghtinny:
Never

As long as a fùcked p*ssy can never be unfùcked,[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] I'll never go near such babe.

as long as the aunt is clean, has fresh breath, natural set of teeth,shaved below her equator,

LotusFan:
I once had a friend who confessed to me that he slept with his cousin. She got pregnant and her mum found out, needless to say, it was a big issue in their family. They aborted the pregnancy and kept them away from each other as much as they could. Well along the line, she got pregnant again, this time there were complications and she bled to death.

Very sad. should have kept the baby.

kullozone:
Lol... I'm fvcking serious sir. She's just scared there may be some kinda curse or whatever, that might follow us that's why we always try not to fvck properly

As for me, there's nothing wrong with that kinda relationship sha.

Bro
I feel you. I also have a cousin like yours. what saved us is when she traveled abroad. i bet you, i would have banged her properly

kullozone:
I love my cousin and she loves me even more. We also kiss and go oral on each other, but just scared to penetrate. We might do that soon sha [color=#990000][/color]

This is when i knew that your story is a fabricated one.

JikanBaura:
The list is incomplete without the inclusion of Igbo tribe of Nigeria... Where husband first wife has the right to get married to another [b]women [/b]even without the husband consent.

you mean same sex marriage?

Church brainwashed me thoroughly.
Once i left African churches behind, my life became better

paxonel:
Yes,
Let me quickly add that there is nothing like rapture in the scriptures.
Don't mind pastors and churches.
They make christians believe rubbish which indirectly affect their present lives negatively.
The believe of rapture has the potential of making the christian become a mediocre in his attitude towards the general event happening in his environment hoping in frustration that someday everything will collapse

Big Amen

It's called annhilism. Those who hold to this view have a hard time believing that a loving God would punish people in a customized torture chamber for all eternity.

Mariangeles:
Enough with this obsession!
Give it up already!

I hope you realize that the OP has to right to hang on to his "obsession", and post it on Nairaland as many times as He/ She chooses...

live4dgospel:
I think Seun was wise to divide Nairaland into sections. Kindly go to Science/Technology and other related sections to get your required information.

Did I say something wrong?
Science and technology are gifts from God.

If Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were constantly monitoring Israel to prepare for the rapture, we wouldn't have had ipads and android phones today.
Instead of preaching us about industry and technology and healthcare and scientific breakthroughs, you are wasting our precious time talking about some half baked theological non sense.

Africans, let's put our thinking caps on. We have suspended our brains way too long with these nonsensical subjects about end times and crap. It's time to bring the kingdom of God to our brains.

The rapture is a man made heresy to distract christian from expanding the kingdom of God in the earth.

Don't pay attention to all these self appointed dream interpreters.
Dreams for the most part mean absolutely nothing.

Unbiblical half baked theology.

Wow

self-servicer

Ridiculous.
