Stupidity is when you don’t have a bicycle and you give your last kobo to your pastor to buy a jet…….Mumu is when you can’t pay your children’s school fees and yet have money to contribute to your church to build expensive schools which your children will never attend…Ignorance is when you believe it when your pastor tells you not to live a worldly life, and yet he enjoys all the best things in the world, the fine houses, cars, jets, etc, while you are waiting till you get to heaven to enjoy yours….Idiocy is when you refuse to take your very sick child to the hospital because your pastor said you should not do so, yet that same pastor secretly runs to USA for medical attention any time he has a headache…Kolo mental is when you see a starving poor woman with kids on the road and you refuse to give her 50 Naira out of the 5000 Naira in your pocket because it is your tithe….You are a zombie when you trek, dance and gallivant for 30 kilometers under the hot sun sweating and smelling like shit during your revival program, while your pastor is inside a full factory fitted air-conditioned state of the art SUV with his delectable wife slowly driving along the road. Matthew 28:19-21 Jesus gave command to all Christians to be preacher of God's word no one, I said no one is called a pastor in the BIBLE, even apostle Paul was a tent maker that was why he could tell people that the work of his hand is enough to feed him.THIS IS THE END TIME.ALOT OF ATROCITIES WILL BE EXPOSED.OUR GOD SHALL NEVER BE MOCKED.

Do you agree that Folly is when someone says there is no God? Isnt it abnormal when the creature says there is no creator?
Pls dont spread falsehood.. Yes we may accept some of your points are ok but you overbloated them. That killed your good intention!
When we talk about financial prudence, its personal and let no one drag church into it. How much do people spend on weddings, birthday parties, personal comfort @ the expense of children's school fees, latest designer clothings, brazilian hair, phones all to look big..Sincerely how many conservatives do we have out there, people want to appear big everywhere including Church cos of respect, ego, pride, fame...Preach Truth without bias.
Its important to note that people like Seun Osewa have been able to manage fame with dignity though he doesnt believe in God. Some of us here if we had 10% of nairaland, the world is in trouble. See its the people not church..They are crazy for fame, pride, honour, respect, title e.t.c
Yet if any man sows sparingly, gives sheepishly from his heart with joy, he has his reward of God..Those in this class should keep giving, God commanded tithe, lets remain faithful! What church does with my money isnt my business, everyone has his reward of God.
Im strictly a God pleaser! Ill do what He says at the expense of all! We cant be weary in well doing!!
To correct your last point : Preachers aint necessarily Pastors...Every one is called to be preacher but not everyone is called a Pastor. A Pastoral call is a specially ordained call by God- Eph 4:11

thesicilian:

He changes both His ways and principles depending on the situation. The soul that sinneth does not always die, as evidenced by:
1. David murdered a man and stole his wife. Did he die? God forgave him after he repented. Though God took the child resulting from the illicit union, he still forgave David and we all know today David is in Heaven.
2. The two thieves crucified on the cross with Jesus were being punished for essentially the same thing. One ended up in Heaven, the other in hell. Why? God had a change of heart at the last minute because one of them showed repentance.

Truth be told, I find the idea of a rigid unchangageable God inconsistent with that of a loving, merciful, forgiving Father.

Dear,
Pls be aware that repentance is a fundamental principle to the Christian Faith..If you repent, you have Gods mercy and get forgiveness for 'any man that calleth upon the name of God shall be saved
Regardless of your past or what you have done, when you call to God for repentance you get it even at the point of death...Thats Principle!
You have only validated Gods unchageable nature in His Principles!
When we read the word as xtians, its not to search out stories, we need to depend on the Spirit for revelation and God help us all...Amen!

Is like ur brain is paining u...what sort of question is this?

I know it hurts! That kind of question, one would doubt the sincerity of the OP.

ACKCITY:
Dear friend, let me tell you this, no one is above temptation.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13 says, "If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure" (NLT)

Don’t say I have overcome this or I am above that; rather say by God’s grace I overcome temptations.


If Jesus Christ can be tempted no one is above temptation.

Matthew 4:12 says, “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil.”

So devil can tempt anyone, in fact he tempts the righteous people more because he needs more followers. By the way why would he tempt someone who is already is follower? So the devil tempts the righteous people.

He tempted Job who was said to be one of the most righteous people during his time.

Our God alone be praised!

newnature:


Cafeteria Christianity, each group placing on their plate the portion, or portions of Scripture that appeal most to them. “We want this, but we will ignore that.” “We will take one of these, but we will leave the others off our plate.” But we can not pick and choose whatever doctrine suits our appetites as though it’s left up to us to serve ourselves. We have to allow God to tell us in the Word the portions of that Word that are specifically written about and directly apply to us. If you read the words “ye men of Israel” or “ye men of Judaea” don’t take from the table of that nation and put that instruction on your plate. You are not the nation Israel. You are not under the law, they were. You are under Grace. Allow God to tell you in his Word the identity of those he is instructing and discover the distinctions he’s defined in the economies that he’s designed and then get on board with what God is doing today and join him in it.

The reality of reconciliation is the good news that Satan would gladly give up his pitchfork to keep people from believing today. And he’s been very successful through what Paul calls ministers of righteousness in doing that very thing. If he can keep that glorious truth hidden by blinding people’s eyes to it through a message that keeps sin on the table of God’s justice where that sin has already been put away by Jesus according to 2 Corinthians 5:18-21, the other components of Paul’s good news message will have no bearing whatsoever for individuals. To keep those sins on the table of God’s justice. That turns Paul’s glorious good news message into a not so glorious good news message after all. It turns salvation into probation. And many people are living in their minds today with probation rather than salvation. Has Satan not been busy usurping the glory that belongs to God? And there is no shortage of ministers of righteousness who are doing his bidding, deceiving as they are being deceived Paul tells us.

Man Ive been reading your posts for sometime now and sincerely you are sound in doctrine!
May God reward all your labour...Amen

Splinz:


Thanks bro. Yes, it is indeed true that a curse is placed on those who pervert the gospel of Christ (Galatians 1:. But saddening enough, people wouldn't stop peddling every wind of inconsistent doctrines.

The Bible is our ultimate authority (though to some, it isn't), and in it, we've seen that salvation is not automatic, that one can lost it!

Thanks and God bless!
Let them peddle while God pulls them down through us (as instruments) by Grace and Power! Amen!!

thesicilian:
Yeah, God is dynamic. Some say "He never changeth" but I do not believe that. If we as human beings can change, and we are made after His image, then that is proof that He can also change.

Hey Bro, God does change but what?
He changes patterns not principles! He changes ways not words!!
On principle, he is rigid and very static, he changeth not. The soul that sinneth shall die - that wont change
On ways, he is very dynamic, see Jesus miracles in NT.
Let every soul know that our God changes ways and not principles!

MZLady39:



Hi Bro. Enshy,
Just for clarification purposes, (and not to be rude), but please address Bro. Splinz' post separately from mine cause the way you addressed us made it seem like we are the same person.
We are not. I am a female...he is a male.
I use only 1 activated moniker on this site.
Okay..now back to the post. Brother, you know I love you...but there's a way to address situations. This is where the balance comes in. We have to be careful not to err on the side of fanaticism...nor be too nonchalant. Examples: The Pharisees and Saducees.
I answered the OP's question believing that he was sincere and I still feel that way.
Now who decides to post on the thread...I can't control that. We have to truly use discernment on who's being deliberately false (to only cause confusion) and who's sincerely searching but is in error. We have to be very careful "dismissing" people as lost hopes.
Some brethren use more scriptures (which is the way to go) than others...but it's okay to have a decent discussion (without name-calling, ridicule and ignorant remarks) to get a point across. Lots of information is put out. People have to pray fervently so that the Holy Spirit will convict and guide into all truth. I'm not ready to give up on folks completely...cause there are some sincere and searching folks out there.
Now if discussions start getting messy and vile, I move on. I'm not for the argumentation.

Well said sis!
I like your conclusion on the really hungry souls there are...Two things quickly:
1. Spreading the Truth
2. Pulling down Falsehood
Every successful servant of Christ engages in at least one of both.
The logic is therefore if you spread the truth and allow falsehood to spread also, how will the searching soul help himself? Isnt there some confusion?
It seems the Holy Ghost now carries the burden to get the Word to the searching soul that we could have also helped with!
In conclusion, every xtian in whatever state he chooses to please His Lord should do so in purity, diligence and service to God nd Humanity with eternity in view! Amen!!

[quote author=OLAADEGBU post=54551669][/quote] Welldone Bro! God is Holy and His eyes cant behold sin/iniquity!

Sinkills:
A gynaecologist is a medical doctor who specialises in treating women especially on sexual reproduction. As part of his/her job, he/she has to look at the unclothedness of women repeatedly and occasionally fumble with (sensitive) parts of their bodies. A born again Christian who hopes to make it to heaven and see God must be pure in heart (Matthew 5: and holy in conduct (Hebrews 12:14). Should a born again Christian who is a boy/man study or practise gynaecology as a profession?

The Bible says 'know ye not as Christ be in you except ye be reprobates?
A xtian should know when to draw the line and if he cant, he pulls out.
Its better to enter eternity maimed than to with two legs&hands, go to hell.
For his own life and eternity, a xtian should be ready to bear his cross and follow His Lord!
****Sometimes back I resigned from a lucrative job when I noticed some persons in management were against me for the wrong reasons****

MZLady39:
Yes...a Christian can lose his/her salvation.
It's popoularly preached, "once saved, always saved".
That is lie from the enemy...and is deceiving many Christians.
The price of salvation has been paid through Jesus' blood on the cross. He has redeemed mankind and that cannot be reversed.
However, if one decides to continue deliberately living a sinful life, then he/she should not expect to enter the eternal Kingdom (Romans 6:1, Gal. 6:7, 1 Cor 6:9).
If it were as simple as accepting Christ with no conditions, then why did He die? We have to be obedient to His standards.

Sister In Christ/Splinz, remember we have been warned in scriptures not to give heed to every wind of doctrine.
My dears, you have the truth, dont give thoughts to false preachers!
The Bible commands that we confront and shut them up!
If any man or an angel from heaven teaches any other gospel other than these you have both posted, let him be accursed! Amen!!

MZLady39:
The happiness and prosperity of the married life depend upon the unity of both parties.
How can the carnal mind harmonize with the mind that is assimilated to the mind of Christ?
One is sowing to the flesh, thinking and acting in accordance with the promptings of his own heart;
the other is sowing to the Spirit, seeking to repress selfishness, to overcome inclination and to live in obedience to the Master, whose servant
he professes to be.
Thus there is a perpetual difference of taste, inclination and of purpose.

Unless the believer shall, through his/her steadfast adherence to principle, "win" the impenitent, he/she will, as is much more common, become discouraged and "sell" his religious principles for the poor companionship of one who has no connection with Heaven.

AH p.g 84

Good piece!
If we must have responsible children, more attention should be on marriage and not parental training.
Faulty marriage will produce bad parental training just as you described!
God help us all! Amen!!

MZLady39:


Yes...very true. I've got one of my sisters who doesn't believe that any heterosexual man can be faithful ever. But she's also not spiritual..
I was just looking at your definition of "meek" because I know the meaning to be, "knowing when to be strong & when to surrender".
I was talking about balance cause it's like you were trying to convince yourself that it's inward beauty...inward beauty alone..without any sort of outer attraction. But you clarified it a little better.

Meek simply put - all the qualities of a good disciple is found in that four letter word..Its loaded!
To be candid, Im blind to outward beauty, I choose not to see it as a discipline measure..Inward beauty is the MAIN.
However, A Pretty and Pious woman is my Pride!!

Xtians hear this: Its easier to marry right than patch up your failing marriage for 'if the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do?'
No Xtian can get the best from God except on God's terms..You want best marriage, then find out His terms from scriptures and pray your way through!
People are no more ready to marry right cos they see divorce as an easy way out.
God isnt the cause of failed marriage, man/woman is!
All the failed marriages Ive seen shows marriage is ruined before consummation! I hear their stories, dissect them and tell them where they failed before comsummation!
If you would enjoy marriage, seek God and get it right!!

MZLady39:


Oh my brother! You are quite a character. I can't help but be tickled by how you end all your statements in excitement. I have to admire your fortitude. You press on regardless....

So you get physical attraction is in all man as natural towards women...To be physically attracted to one Ild marry cant be in question but I wont base my choice on that.
Even after marriage, men are still physically attracted to other women, for some us only Christ has made the difference!
Thanks dear for your concern.

Lex11:
Indeed...

"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." - Proverbs 31:30

Yes Bro In Christ!
Beauty has no value outside Christ!!

MZLady39:


Hi Bro. Enshy,
May God grant you that...but define for me "meek" please.
Also there is nothing wrong with be attracted to the one you marry. God is not saying that you are not to be physically attracted to a possible spouse.
I love that you are a soldier for Christ( & I'm not trying to discourage you)...but remember to be balanced.

Good intention dear!
Meek means gentle, easily intreated/persuaded. A meek woman acts like a woman! She respects not only her husband but all - inlaws, friends, coworker...She is courteous, its a major quality of a virtuous woman!
A man will always be physically attracted to the opposite sex not only the woman he wants to marry. Even after marriage physical attraction to women is still there, God put it there...Thats where the spiritual man puts his body under!
You see if I base my choice on physical attraction, Ild be wrong and so wrong cos there are several ladies there to be physically attracted to, thats why some of us put limit to our friendship with the opposite sex..If on a strong feeling of love, love without reason, it just comes, Ild pray about it..The rest is God and I.
My dear, marriage is to serious to engage in without intense preparation, spiritual being major...I cant and wont fail in marriage...A marriage where the man is the Head, Pastor, Father, Priest, Bread Winner! Amen!!

obinna58:
I'm only asking for a prove based on the thread u created, people need prove no beliefs

I didnt create the thread..Pls confirm.
You give me proof of your existence and Ild give you mine..

obinna58:

U avoided a straight answer lol
OK
What about prove about hellfire existence

You should give me proofs of your own existence first!

obinna58:


Meaning all other religion are going straight to hellfire
Am I ryt?
What prove do u have about hellfire

You are an atheist!
Are you so much concerned about the destiny of other religion as you should be with yours?
Anyone who dies in sin, without Christ is damned in eternity!

obinna58:

If we want a better world education is needed, it cant be archived through threats of hellfire
Their are no punishments waiting for them, they only need enlightenment not religious threats

Better World is no priority as much as Eternity!
You dont know anything about eternity, you have always said after death, science has come up with nothing.
I know there is life after death! There two choices : Hell and Heaven.
Whether you accept or not, judgment is imminent!

God give me that woman who is meek and quiet! Whose adorning is inward only and not outward!!

For christian dressing, moderation is key!

A pretty woman is a praying woman! Show me a praying woman and Ild show you a virtuous woman!! God bless and keep all virtuous woman...Amen.

obinna58:
What of someone that kills because of his God
Religion triggered all this dis

Hell awaits him my friend.
Same with a fornicator, adulterer, porn addict, masturbator, smoker, drunkard, rapist, liar, thief, homosexualist, haters of God and calls himself xtian, believer, pastor, posting religious threads in defence of God and still commits sin privately e.t.c
God is no respecter of persons.
If they dont repent and accept Jesus, they shall all likewise perish!

geoworldedu:


What are you saying? Do you like the way things are going right now? This uncertainty is a burden. Didn't you see how Elijah successfully cleared the air in the bible by calling on one of the gods and he answered by fire?
First of all, let me ask, which of the gods is your own? I'm suspecting you're worshipping Baal, that's why you are scared that Yahweh will overcome him again as he did in the bible. You see, you don't have confidence in Baal your god.

I aint discussing with anybody.
I was mentioned and I responded!
Im storming out of the thread as I aint part of this ridicule!!
***Pls expect no more response from me as per this thread*** Thank you.

kenny1313:
When I see someone saying "Don't judge, leave it for Jesus. Jesus won't judge as you are doing now, He will correct with love. "
I laugh.
You don't know your Jesus.
You don't know your Gospels.
What would Jesus do?
Jesus that entered church one day, saw how they were exploiting people, saw how they have turned His father's house into a 'den of thieves ' and got so mad he scattered the church. He took a whip and flogged the charlatans out. He scattered their tables and chairs, scattered their offering baskets.
Who does that? Most of you would see something wrong in the church and keep quiet in the name of maintaining order but Jesus would walk in, take one look at the charade, roll up his sleeves and say, Church is over, everybody out!
You are asking what Jesus would do?
You think Jesus will stand by and watch people get exploited in his name? Do you know why the religious leaders of his day hated him? Because he was always abusing them. Yes. Cussing them out. He called them snakes. He called them hypocrites to their faces. He called them thieves. He called them wicked people. He didn't go in one corner and type it on Facebook. He went to their churches and said it to their faces. He met them on the streets and said it to their faces.
He said "woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees! "
Do you know what "Woe unto you" means in pidgin?
It means, E NO GO BETTER FOR UNA.
Jesus said that to the pastors of his day. Please note he didn't say they are fake pastors. He acknowledged they are pastors then proceeded to say, E no go better for you, Pastor.
Jesus is not one to chill when it comes to his church.
Because Jesus understands those people will scatter his flock if they are not checked.
Jesus said, In that day, many shall come to him and say Lord , Lord, have we not performed miracles in your name and done many mighty works? Then he will say, I don't know you, depart from me you workers of wickedness.
Jesus didn't deny their works, he denied their characters. He didn't deny they are Christians, he calls them wicked christians who call him Lord, Lord and do not what he says.
And what did Jesus say? The Master said Love. Love. Love. Love.
How is it love if you exploit people?
If you like turn water into dry gin, Jesus is looking at your heart not the works of your hands.
You that is going from wall to wall, shouting, Judge not, Touch not, Woe unto you!
You that is quick to jump to the defence of a pastor instead of sticking to the defence of the word of God, Woe unto you!
You that have stubbornly refused to learn the word of God for yourself and grow in it, thereby taking everything pastor so and so says as rhema, Woe unto you!
You that is adding to the disgrace of the body of Christ by being a supporter of ungodliness and unrighteousness, Woe unto you!
You that don't care if the name of Jesus is slandered just because you want to defend your pastor, Woe unto you!
You that will look the other way when Christians are being unChristlike then still say, leave them to Christ, dont judge. Did God not give us His spirit to discern between good and evil, right from wrong? Woe unto you! You will be queueing up with them on the last day when God puts them in the pen meant for goats.
#Dontbefooled.

We keep warning through all means possible!

My Brother Friend,
Be it known today that my God whom I serve in Spirit and Truth and Ive commited my life to forever cannot be mocked for 'evil communication corrupts good manners'
We dont take the name of our God in vain. We respect and honour Him out of deep love. I wont reduce my God to dishonour and disrepute!
He doesnt perform magic but Miracles! He alone is God!!
