planetx:This is what happens when you think you know too much, but you really have no clue what you're talking about......The same founding fathers were the ones who thought it that slavery should be abolished even though some people who were profitting from it resisted the move to end slavery. Go and study, and stop showing your ignorance here. Do you know what caused the American civil war? Do you know why the confederates went to war against the unionists? It was because of the issue of slavery! The founding fathers fought a civil war with their own white brothers just because they were hell-bent on enforcing the end of slavery, but the confederates would not agree to it. Go and study your history before you come to talk out of point all in the name of fighting God or christianity! Secondly, are you not aware that slavery has always been a practice that dates back to as far as human history? Was it christians that invented slavery? Was slavery not already in existence before the time of Abraham? Stop deceiving yourself by trying to blame slavery on christianity! As a matter of fact, it was the God of the bible that even first gave rules to human beings on how to treat slaves if you ever had one. Go and study the bible in Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy and see where God gave the israelites rules on how to treat their slaves. God told them that nobody should maltreat their slaves, he also told them that they were not supposed to keep a slave for more than 7years. If you had a slave, you must let him go free by the 7th year, with the only exception being a situation where the slave loves his master so much that he doesn't want to leave his master, and in which case that slave is permitted to remain a slave. These laws concerning treatment of slaves are clearly written in the bible, but you won't go and study to find them out by yourself. THE ONLY REASON WHY SLAVERY ENDED WAS BECAUSE SOME CHRISTIANS DECIDED IT WAS NOT FAIR TO TREAT A FELLOW HUMAN BEING AS A SLAVE, AND AS SUCH THE PRACTICE SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, AND GUESS WHAT? THEY WERE WILLING TO FIGHT A WAR AND GIVE THEIR LIVES DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR FOR SLAVERY TO END! You would have probably been a slave today, working in some American sugar plantation if not for Christians who believed in fairness, equity and justice and fought in the American civil war for slavery to end! You are a hypocrite if you don't agree to say the truth, which is that you owe your freedom that you enjoy today to christianity! Imagine if Saudi Arabia or Iran was the super power of this world instead of a Christian nation like America? Maybe by now, you would never have even had the freedom to open that your mouth to criticize the injustices in this world. |
Lirqur:Do you know why I'm 100% sure you've been deceived? It's because the God that the founding Fathers of America followed and built American constitution/values on is the God that gave the 10 commandments! Please, how many gods do you know that gave out 10 commandments? Is there another god who gave 10 commandments? Like it or not, America is a country whose prosperity was built on the foundation of the right values and culture that came from what their founding fathers copied from the bible. Britain became great because of the same principles, until the 2nd half of the 20th century when liberals started destroying their values, and today, the tiny Britain that once ruled more than 25% of the entire earth is now in crisis and even begging ordinary China to sign trade deals with them. Britain today is no where close to America that she once colonized. The GDP of America alone is far more than the GDP of the entire 28 European Union countries combined - That is what a prosperous country looks like! And guess what, America is still a christian country, and their President says that all the time, and most of the people who voted for Trump are christians who believe in those core values that the founding fathers bequeathed to the nation. Those who voted against Trump are mostly liberals like Obama and Oprah and Clinton, who do not believe in the God of the bible or support his ways. No wonder they are the ones pushing for legalization of marijuana, abortion, homosexuality and transgenderism. |
Zoharariel:No wonder in Psalms 14:1 , God said "THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THAT THERE IS NO GOD" The most developed nation on earth is America, and America was founded by strong Christians who believed in God and used the 10 commandments as a basis for drawing up their constitution. They so believed in God to extent that even on their currency called the dollar, they inscribed the words "In God we trust". So stop lying to yourself that when you remove God from a society, development comes in. America is one of the countries with the highest number of christian population in the world, and they are most powerful and developed. They are far more developed than all of the countries of the European Union combined! Liberalism started creeping into America from the 2nd half of the last century, and a lot of things started going wrong, the liberals decided to push Government to remove prayer and bible reading from the school curriculum, and not long after, mass shootings in schools became a normal thing. The problem with self-deceiving liberals like you is the fact that you are too blind to see that the freedom and development you enjoy in advanced societies today are as a result of the moral values and culture set in place by the founding fathers of these great countries. And guess what? most of these values came from the bible. The problem with Nigeria is that there are too many professing christians who have not decided to imbibe the values and principles of God, that is why it's easy to find christians who don't see anything wrong in doing business with people and cheating their partners to make more money for themselves. THE PROBLEM IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN WITH JESUS, THE PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW PRINCIPLES. THE PRINCIPLES TO MAKE ANY SOCIETY GREAT AND PROSPEROUS ARE ALREADY THERE IN THE BIBLE, SO STOP TAKING OUT YOUR LIFE FRUSTRATIONS ON GOD! As a rule, any society that decides to follow the 10 commandments alone will automatically end up a great and prosperous nation. Why? because in the 10 commandments, you find laws that encourage equity, fairness and justice, where the stronger species of the society cannot oppress the weaker. In the 10 commandments, you find laws that ensure integrity - that in itself is one of the greatest capitals for doing business, which most Nigerians lack! In the 10 commandments, you find laws that uphold the defence of truth! In fact, any human being who says they have problems with the 10 commandments must either be an enemy of progress himself or an incarnate of the devil! Europe is falling apart today because most of them have managed to remove God from their system. Great Britain of yesteryears is no longer great , and today Theresa May has to beg China to do business with them. |
Gentle034:Why do people like you always wait for God to come and judge what he has already judged in his written word? Did Jesus not clearly say "you cannot serve two masters "? Did God not say in the 10 commandments that you should not serve any other god except him? If you agree to condemn such idolatrous practice of a pastor going to join native doctors or secret societies, how does that make you "judgemental "? Anyone who goes against what is clearly written in scriptures has already judged himself by his actions. stop feeling like it is a sin to call a sin a sin |
adem30:God of Adeboye or God of Oyedepo is no different from saying "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" as used in the bible several times. As long as Adeboye or Oyedepo serves the true God. |
PAGAN9JA:He is the owner of your life, before whom you will stand for judgement the moment your life on earth is over for Him to decide if you spend eternity in heaven or hell based on your relationship with him while you were alive on earth. Secondly, He is not your mate, but you don't know it now. Stephen Hawking didn't believe a week ago, but now he is screaming in torment and wishing Jesus would give him just 1 minute to come back to earth and repent, then die again so he can go to heaven . |
ameri9ja:If this were the times when Jesus walked the face of the planet, you would have made a very good pharisee or sadducee. It's religious and critical people like you who crucified Jesus. It's people like you who would want to stone Jesus for healing on a Sabbath day. Your heart is void of love and that is why instead of rejoicing for the good that was done for those 3 orphans, you are more interested in crucifying the pastor for helping the poor in public. You need to repent, accept the love of Jesus into your heart, stop being a hypocrite and love your neighbour as yourself. without that, you can't see the kingdom of God. this hatred and jealousy in your heart towards men of God will not let you enter heaven if you don't repent. You cannot claim to be a Christian and be interested in destroying the servants of God. Control your jealousy! |
ameri9ja:Were you there? did you witness the even to be able to talk with so much authority about what happened in a place you never were? The people who were there have told you what happened and you want to dispute it just because of jealousy and hatred for Pastors. Do you even ask yourself serious questions at all? So if Mrs Oritsejafor was looking for a place to get money or influence, you really think it would be in a local market like this? If all those market women and crowd there contribute all their money to give to her, would the money they raised be up to one-tenth of the cost of her husbands private jet? Why don't you reason things well and control your jealousy? For the umpteenth time, Jesus fed multitudes in public when it was necessary and Mrs Oritsejafor taking care of these orphans in the middle of the crusade is no different from what Jesus did when he fed 5000 men |
ameri9ja:Why are human beings like this? No wonder the bible says that 'the heart of man is deceitful, and desperately wicked!' If a pastor gives to the needy in secret, people like you will come out to complain and blame all the failures of your government on pastors, and accuse all pastors of being scammers who only take from the poor and give nothing to help the poor. Then when pastors give to the poor and you see them doing the giving, you begin to complain that they should not give in public. Excuse me, do you know Jesus never said it is a sin to give in public? He only said that if your giving publicly is primarily to get people to see you and shower you with praises, then you have already received your reward from men when they praise you. it doesn't mean you can't give publicly. So if you are in public now and a somebody is about to die of hunger, and you have money to give the person so they won't faint and die, you will then tell the person no? Will you say no and allow the person to faint and die just because you are both not in a secret location where people can't see you saving the person from imminent death due to hunger? Please my friend, be using your sense for positive things rather than for hating and jealousing pastors and men of God. DID JESUS FEED THE FIVE THOUSAND MEN WITH 5LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES IN SECRET? DID HE NOT DO IT IN PUBLIC BEFORE THE EYES OF ALL MEN WHILE THEY LOOKED? |
etugba:No! They should have used non-members' money or gone to borrow money from Lucifer to build the church. Enemies of progress everywhere these days, and all venting their frustrations on the church. |
ladiesreject:Oga calm down there and stop your Oversabi. There is no argument on the matter, the point is Jesus clearly said the two will become one, and you are not wiser than Jesus. If the God who created you says a thing, then you better believe it. If you had more wisdom and understanding than Jesus, then why didn't you create the universe with your wisdom? I REPEAT AGAIN - WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD! You cannot contain or understand God with your brain. Your common sense cannot help you understand or obey God. If it could, then explain how Jesus dying over 2000years ago gave you salvation. Explain how it makes sense to love your enemies. The fact that you don't understand some things in scriptures does not mean they are not truths. When we were in primary school, 2 minus 3 did not make sense to us, we were told it's "impossible". But when we got into secondary school, we understood that 2 minus 3 = -1 That you don't understand a truth today does not mean it is not true. You will understand many things when you grow spiritually. |
ladiesreject:To be on the safe side, just call yourself a church-goer, YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN. A Christian is one only because they believe everything Jesus says, a Christian is someone who is Christ-like. A Christian CANNOT OPEN THEIR MOUTH TO SAY THEY DISAGREE WITH THE WORDS OF JESUS. They may not understand some of the things Jesus has said, but they cannot disagree with it. That is why the bible clearly said that WITHOUT FAITH, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD! |
NwaAmaikpe:When agents of darkness speak, it's not too hard to identify the demons speaking through them. Pls control your jealousy and those other demons speaking through you. Otobo accused man of God and you believed her, the same Otobo confessed to her blackmail and you claim you don't believe her because "the man of God must be pulled down". No! Your problem is not pastors, rather, your problem is the demons who have possessed your soul and have a noose around your neck and are dragging you to hell while fulfilling your Apostolic calling to the kingdom of darkness. And if I ever hear you again claim that Billy Graham and KC Price led you to Christ, I will smack that feeding bottle out of your mouth! |
Austinoiz:Austinoiz control your jealousy! We know you're an enemy of progress and it's paining you that the man of God keeps succeeding despite the efforts of your colleagues from the kingdom of darkness to pull him down, but you don't have to make your jealousy too obvious. Control it! |
sigiyaya:Whoever tied your destiny from the village must be a very powerful jazz man for their jazz to make you have this mentality. I haven't met you before, but from your statement alone, I can tell with 100% certainty that a lot of demons are working tirelessly to ensure your destiny is used as tissue paper in the covens of witches, and of course there will be no freedom from you, because you are already at war with the church of God and God's servants who are supposed to be the solutions to your spiritual problems. Don't worry, keep on patronising native doctors and let's see how far you will get with your solutions! |
dalaman:unfortunately, the Almighty God does not need your approval, vote or validation for him to remain God. Your disdain for him CANNOT CHANGE WHO HE IS, OR THE FACT THAT HE CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH AND HELL. You can feign ignorance of his existence now, but that's called SELF-DECEPTION, it won't stop hell from existing. WHETHER YOU WORSHIP GOD OR NOT, GOD WILL STILL REMAIN ON HIS THRONE, AND SINNERS WHO REFUSE TO REPENT WILL STILL KEEP GOING TO HELL. You are man. You cannot understand God fully or his ways. The day you fully understand God and why/how he does every single thing he does, that day he stops being God because you have figured him out. YOUNG MAN, STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AN INFINITE GOD WITH YOUR 3-DIMENSIONAL BRAIN THAT IS CONSTRAINED BY TIME, SPACE AND MATTER! GOD EXISTS OUTSIDE OF THOSE PARAMETERS, SO HE IS NOT CONSTRAINED BY THEM. IF HE WERE, THEN HE IS NOT ALMIGHTY AND WORTH WORSHIPPING. HIS WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS! |
frosbel2:Bros, please try and control your jealousy. We all know that Some (not all) of these men of God you are always fighting and wasting your effort to pull down have achieved what 100 frosbel2s put together cannot achieve in a hundred lifetimes, and we know it pains you to your soul when out of jealousy you realise that you pale in comparison to them, but at least you can still control your jealousy. You don't have to make it obvious all the time, it makes you look bad and hurts your cause of spreading your false religious beliefs. Take a clue from Lucifer's condition today; what kept him where he is today was his jealousy of God, and him wanting to be like God. I say it again; please try and control your jealousy of genuine men of God. |
oderemo:Guy if you want to be unreasonable please just park! So they shouldn't use wisdom just because they are pastors? Are they wiser or more powerful than Jesus who went about with armed security? Why is it that when most people want to judge men of God, they keep their common sense on a coconut tree and only bring it down when they finish judging |
smithoo:If you were a Christian you would have known that Jesus' disciples were carrying swords when moving with Jesus and that was why Peter drew his sword to cut off the ear of one of the servants of the high priest that came to arrest Jesus before Jesus told Peter to put back his sword. If Jesus needed armed people around him, then why not Apostle Suleiman or other men of God? |
removetheturban:Intelligence tells you to examine things first before you decide on them! Intelligence tells you to question the status quo and seek answers to things you don't know or understand, and not to wish them away because you don't understand them. Intelligence tells you that when people put up a video with such compelling evidence as I just did, you should first take the facts they presented and investigate before coming to a conclusion. But you did none of those before you jumped to conclude everyone of those people were lying. Those were very different people in different countries who didn't know each other. They all died and went to the same place and saw the same things that concur with the Bible's description of hell. They are not saying anything new. what they are describing are things that we already know as written in the bible about hell. So oga, Take up the information in those videos, especially the one about Dan Eke that happened here in Nigeria, go and ask questions from the places where he said everything happened, starting from Umezurike hospital to the mortuary he was kept for 3 days. when you have done all that and the people you asked in those places tell you no such thing happened in 2001, then come back and tell us I was lying. Besides, I have also personally met 2 different people in Nigeria who died and came back to life and what they saw was not different from what these people in the videos also saw. One of the two people I am talking about died in a car accident on his was from Owerri to Uyo in 2012, and he was prayed for and came back to life after 2 days. One of the ways you know they were dead is that they all saw themselves leaving their bodies and they could tell you what was happening around them at the time they left their bodies before they started descending to hell. They could tell you who and who were around them and what each person around them was saying at the time they came out of their bodies and were standing and seeing their motionless bodies lying down. |
frosbel2:For your information, I don't worship God "because he will torture me for all eternity if I don't ", I worship him because HE IS GOD AND THE ONLY REASON WHY WE HUMANS WERE CREATED IS TO WORSHIP HIM. I worship him because he has shown me too much love and compassion through Christ even when I was born and living in sin. I worship him because it is the height of foolishness to not acknowledge and worship my maker who created me for that reason. Your question sounds very intelligible to you, but I can't see any iota of brilliance in it cos it's just like a 2 year-old asking me if the reason I haven't killed my parents and all family members is because I don't want to go to jail and suffer there. Even if there was no prison, I would still love my family because they are where I came from. Even if there was no law against murder, I still would not kill my parents simply because I love them and they are where I came from. Even if there was no hell, I would still worship God. But just as there is a prison for people who break the laws here on earth, there is also a "prison" called hell for people who decide to willingly break God's laws. The difference is when you get into prison here on earth, there is hope you may come out someday after some years, but when you get into God's prison called hell, there is no hope for eternity. Lastly, GOD DOESN'T THROW PEOPLE INTO HELL. IT IS PEOPLE'S DECISION TO REJECT GOD'S SOLUTION TO SIN (Which is Christ) THAT CONDEMNS THEM TO HELL. John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. " It is the same way judges do not throw people into prison, but rather people's crimes are what sends them to prison because justice must have its way. God is a God of love and mercy, but also a God of justice. Justice means REWARD "RIGHTEOUSNESS " AND PUNISH "EVIL". If God decides not to allow sinners go to hell, then he has contradicted his nature of justice. The Good news we preach is that THE DEMANDS OF JUSTICE HAVE BEEN MET FOR ANY WHO IS IN CHRIST, BECAUSE JESUS HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR SIN OF EVERYONE WHO COMES TO HIM! |
removetheturban:Are you intelligent at all? Do you not know how to prove or disprove things when facts and evidence are provided to you? Have you not seen the names of all the places and times when the events happened? Is Umezurike hospital in Owerri not still in existence? Have you gone there to ask questions and they told you it was a lie? Have you gone to the mortuary where he was kept for 3 days and they said it was not true? You just want to just sit in your house and know what happened or didn't? |
Guestlander:I agree with you on that except that when you mistakingly judge a genuine man of God and call him names, the same God would have also struck you dead immediately if not for his mercy and slowness to anger. That of course doesn't mean that there are no fake Prophets everywhere you go, but the major issue is that most people don't even study the word of God to know the ways of God before they come out to start condemning pastors generally in their ignorance. If most christians understood the bible, you will not have one Christian following fools like daddy Freeze who believe there are different ways to God and that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, yet he is the one trying to teach christians what to follow in the bible. |
ycat:Yeah. .........many idiots like you who have never met either Stephanie or Apostle Suleiman but they believed Stephanie's initial blackmail, and when the same blackmailer comes out to confess that she lied, you will say it's not true BECAUSE YOU WERE ACTUALLY IN THE SAME HOTEL ROOM WITH THE TWO OF THEM WATCHING THEM HAVE SEX! You better grow up and stop letting foolishness and stupidity blind you. This same stubbornness and foolishness is the exact reason why you haven't given your life to Christ even with all the evidence of Christ's love, heaven and hell staring you in the face. You want to know why God did not immediately destroy Stephanie Otobo last year when she came to lie against an innocent man? It's simply because of love. God the all powerful is slow to anger and judgement and he gives the wicked a long time for them to repent. but when people take God's love and patience for granted, they end up in destruction after God's patience runs out on them. This is the only reason why atheists are still alive on this planet and wasting God's free oxygen while denying the existence of God whose oxygen they consume |
hopefulLandlord:Eyaaaaaaaaaa.............truth is so hurtful to evil men. See how it's paining you deep into your marrows that God's servant was vindicated. Pls find Ibuprofen and take 5 tablets to ease the pain you're going through. Kpele! But this pain you feel is nothing compared to the pain, hopelessness and untold terror of hell. You can laugh and scorn now as you and some of your cult members did when Stephanie initially came up with her blackmail last year, until the truth suddenly hit you guys so hard now that you don't even know what to say again other than changing topic to tithe of 30%. But the thing you should be afraid of is you discovering the truth about Christ, heaven and hell when you're dead and there is no opportunity for repentance anymore. |
gypsey:Do you know how I know you're a very unserious human being? It's because you have all the facts you could choose to verify or investigate right in the videos, especially the last one involving Dan Eke who happens to be a Nigerian and died in a Nigerian hospital and was kept in a Nigerian mortuary for 3days before he was taken to a crusade in Onitsha where he came back to life. The name of the hospital where he was confirmed dead is mentioned, the address of the hospital is still in the same place in Owerri, the records will be there. The time he died was mentioned there. If you were interested in truth, you could easily investigate for yourself, but no, You have refused to do your homework to search if those facts are truth or not. You would rather sit in the comfort of your sofa in your parlour and decide by yourself what happened in 2001 or not. Your type are the ones who are so full of themselves that they will never listen to truth if it conflicts with their mindset. Keep on calling all the evidence rubbish. You will use the same mouth to plead for mercy when you stand before God and he reminds you of all the people who preached to you on earth but you chose not to listen or even do yourself a basic favour of investigating claims brought before you before tagging them as rubbish. No wonder God said "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" and "because you have rejected knowledge, i have also rejected you". |
The last clip was a pastor who died in 2001. He was in the mortuary for 3 days before he was taken by his wife to Reinhard Bonnke's crusade in Onitsha where he came back to life during the crusade while he was being prayed for. If you doubt, the records are there. He was confirmed dead at Umezuruike Hospital in Owerri. You can lunch your own investigation, trace the hospital where he was confirmed dead, trace the mortuary where he was kept for 3days and trace the people who worked in that mortuary to confirm if the story is true or false, then afterwards come here with your proofs to dispute the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYuY7Cm4KuQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vj0qKthCgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzx4nyZKc2U |
Emmytes:You sound so proud of your intelligence. But let me say a few things and leave you with a few video clips of people who have been in your shoes but died and miraculously came back to life after having a little glimpse of life after death. All of these people were either atheists like you or unbelievers. The moment they came back from death, they all changed and became born-again. You may want to keep digging up 1000 reasons why God does not exist or why Jesus is not the way, but i can assure you that the moment you step out of your body in death, everything changes. You will suddenly realise the vanity of human philosophy when it comes to the salvation of humans after Jesus Christ has already made a way and showed us the way in the word of God.

pannyman:That's not the main point. The main issue is that I wasn't there, and you weren't there as well. The issue i have with folks above who have been almost swearing with their lives that such a thing cannot happen in this world where we live is the fact that they are either too naive or outrightly blind. Whoever tells me that witchcraft, demons, angels, God do not exist must be a big blind idiot. Who are they even trying to fool with their stupid delusion? Things most of us see happening every now and then, and they want to tell us such things don't exist. Do you know how many witches and occult men we've seen who confessed with their own mouth about the evil things they've done? Do you know how many yahoo+ guys who have undergone several human sacrifice rituals to acquire power to make money that we have seen? Let me ask you; You think politicians and yahoo+ people who use human beings to make rituals are very daft for them to keep killing human beings if they are not seeing the result of those sacrifices? You think people are joining Ogboni and other cults where human sacrifices are done every day if the people who belong are not seeing things happen? I can't shout. Whoever does not believe the supernatural exists is just a sitting duck for cheap death the day they mistakingly offend the powers that be. |
jonbellion:Another definition of stupidity is believing that hundreds of people who witnessed an event while it was happening and even recorded it in video are all FOO.L.S , and you who was never anywhere within the vicinity of the event is the very wise man for disproving the possibility of such event happening. It is people like you who will never believe there is a place called hell for you to avoid it through salvation in Christ until you die and see with your eyes when it's already too late to repent. In your mind, you think this world revolves around your myopic philosophy of life, not knowing this world is deeper than the way your tiny mind views things. |
with members money
and moreover why couldn't the dude disappear with the goat after he was done. Yet we wonder why Africa is a 3rd world continent. Abeg dont bother quoting me I won't eveb reply you
