It's not. There's no where in the bible that actually shuns Christians from drinking alcohol. It does how ever, talks specifically against getting intoxicated which is understandable. Furthermore we know Jesus Christ observed as a Jew observed the Passover, which as a tradition involved drinking wine and afaik wines then were all alcoholic, so we can assume Jesus Christ drank alcohol at least once a year.
It's been a while but time flies when one is busy. There were Jews in pre-colonial Sub-Saharan Africa. I don't know how earliest they arrived, but It's known that they were Shephardic jews in the Region. They migrated from Spain and Portugal to the middle Niger. We have sources of this from Arab scholars who talked about jews in the Bilad Al Sudan. And we know they were in the Mali and Songhai empire because they were also mentioned in the Tarikh Al Sudan and Tarikh Al fattash. These jews were not black. Stop with your stupid delusions,
So god's way of rapturing people is infecting them with a respiratory virus -- making it difficult for them to breathe -- so they eventually die from it? A disease which also a group of people (old and people with weak immunity) are susceptible to despite their beliefs. why not just take them? I'm sure he could do some god magic and make everyone disappear.
RighteousI: Testimony of the first chamber of hell describes how the souls of newly dead people arrive in hell and how they are judged by the demons based on the major sin that brought them to hell. The demons then send the souls to the particular section of hell that is befitting of the sin committed.
dannybee: Touch not mine anointed..... you think God was joking when he said this?
Sure, leave them be to say and do as they please because god has ordained them. This excuse has been used by people from different religions all over the world mask their own actions and words behind a false divinity.
donnie: You will also tell me Egyptians were white ba? you need deliverance. You claim to know history and you do not now that Egypt was dominated at certain times by Jews? I mean true black jews.
You go read European 21st or even 20th century material and say you want to argue with me. Look, I can cure you of that witchcraft.
The so-called "Nubians" is one of the terms used by children of Esau (Caucasians) to cover the identity of the real Jews. Another term is negro or niger. That was Simeon's nickname (Acts 13:1). Even Nigeria is actually Niger-area.
Just look at you, waiting for your slave masters (white man) to tell you who you are and you think you know something. Defending fake Jews.
Go and read The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler or From Babylon to Timbuktu by Rudolph Windsor; these are just a few well-researched materials. Perhaps they will help cleanse your mind from white man's witchcraft.
The people of the book are not white! Deal with it. In fact, these fake Jews are known to have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world because they can't stand the heat of the sun. Living in a land that YAH didn't design for them. Nonsense.
Never said Egyptians were white, and yes i know that Kush, led by Piye, once conquered Egypt,forming it's 25th dynasty. There is no significant evidence anywhere to show that Israelites were black, those books you mentioned are popular afrocentrist sources they like to quote which offers no conclusive argument for it's claims, just conjectures and leaps of logic. Plus the fact that it (Babylon to Timbuktu) holds the bible as a sources for completely accurate historic events, is telling of it's flaws You call me a slave , yet you are the real slave, subscribing to an ideology born from people suppressed by the mentality that Sub-Saharan Africans have nothing worthy of note, so they have to go and try to steal someone else's history. I study true African history and i'm content and proud enough in it to not go steal someone else's.
On the left, looking at the attire, you can see he is a Nubian. There are alot of Nubians depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphs and ornamental paintings/images because Nubia (entire region including Kush ) had a long relationship with them. On the right is a deptiction of a priest from the tibe of the Levites, the designated tribe for priesthood. Pls stop propagating this nonsence, it's wrong and frankly pathetic when you try to claim someone elses history. Go and actually look for real africa history.
Kay25: isolation is not the reason for that it's u calling h's servant a bastard what has he said that is against you ?if not whether u isolate or not u get judged by the words of ur mouth
Yes it's against me because it's against basic human decency. It's saying that the thousands that have and are going to die are fated/deserve to die. Those that die will die because they're supposed to. That's utter bullshit. You people giving these so called servants of God the precedence to say nonsense like this are also part of the problem. People need to be called out on the rubbish they say. And who will judge me? And if that person is judging me, let him also Judge Adeboye.
Daroldigits: Hmmmm...your mouth has put you into trouble that no one can safe you. Even if is true must you talk? Parents still need to pass moral lessons to their children when they are young.
Even if is true must you talk?
This statement just sums up the religious mentality. Keep your mind closed and turn a blind eye.
I am not in any trouble, nothing will happen to me.
Angelfrost: When have innocent people not died??! Tsunamis, earthquakes, Ebola, Syrian and Libyan crisis, Rohygian genocide, etc... How many did we lose??!
Is death something so strange that you had to insult an elder??!...
This forum is rank with moronic individuals!!!
And because of all that it is OK to say does who have died, their time has come? That they are fated to die? It's a clever trick if you think about it. If you die then you are destined to die. If you didn't die then Jesus is on your boat. Using the unfortunate deaths of people as an opportunity to give legitimacy to his beliefs. This is just a way to dodge the fact that Christian or not, you will die if you're susceptible to this.
Hisincrease: For the fact that you have Airtel 1.5G data do not buy you the right to call the man a bastard. Its fine not to agree with him but insult is wrong.
Correction, i actually use an unlimited plan. And yes i can. The church and pastors are given unnecessary precedence especially in Nigeria when they do nothing except take people's money. They are not above accountability and scrutiny. If they say something as stupid as this then they deserve ridicule just like anyone else.
I read this with a grain of salt, because people are using the epidemic to make sensational news for views. But if he did truly say this then he is truly a bastard. Several innocent people are dying around the world and these Nigerian charlatans have are here making stupid statements.
The world has almost ended many times, and for worst things. The Spanish flu was much worse than this and some Christians then too thought the world was ending. That was 102 years ago.
knowhowk: Daddy Bishop Oyedepo ,At the lockdown period ,People need food at home to eat, Contribute your quota sir ,Just some food Sharing can go a long way .Waiting for Dire Hard Worshipers for Insults and Bible quotings.
He should also do his bit. He takes millions from these people, the least he can do is feed some for a while.
