Logicboy03: Yes, how does it feel to be told that you are more likely to be intelligent if you believe in the stories surrounding christ and the bible?

How does it feel to be told that you are silly for believing creationism (if you are a creationist christian)

How does it feel to be told that your God is an imaginary creature? A figment of your imagination?



Is it butthurt or do you feel pity for the "militant" atheist?

Tell us, how do you feel?

To answer your question OP I feel compassion for the atheist. Without being judgemental: atheist are the most confused human beings I have come across. One point in time in their life or spontaneously and subconciously: they beleieve in a creator/ God. They are just trying to convince themselves to believe a lie that would seem like truth after so much belief.

Kamsy10: Normally I don't criticize churches, I just walk away from a church when I hear sermons that are hypocritical and certainly meant for selfish interests.
People that criticize the catholic church apparently dont know jack about the catholic church.
For me I am a catholic who once left the faith and joined other churches to see if there's a better church.Note I was a devoted worker in each church I went but after hearing and learning the stuff some of those pastors preach, MEHN, I quietly went back to the catholic faith. Catholic might have some shortcomings but it's unrivalled compared to the churches I've been to. I'm so happy I retraced my steps.

Here are some of the lies you'll hear from the pulpit:



1. Tithe/offering will take you to heaven since we live in the new testament now and God keeps no record of sins. Therefore tithe/offering is what really matters now.
(Meanwhile tithing was ONLY mentioned in the old testament)
2. If you need a job, car, child etc and you're not tithing, God will not bless you. (False)
(Haba. Even pro.sti.tutes get pregnant and have children.Many CEOs don't even go to church not to talk of tithe.Rom9:15 says 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,...etc. Matt 7:7 says ask and you shall receive. Check with the richest men in the world. Again pastors have to chose which one to emphasize and which ones not to. I don't blame them sha)

3. If you tithe, you cant be sick, loose your job, get into an accident or get robbed.
(So why do they run to the bank immediately after collecting tithes and offerings to avoid robbery. And they travel oversees for medical checkups, and fly jets and move around with heavy security guards)

4. God asked me to do this, God asked me to do that . Even to the point that God asked them to divorce and marry another one.
(1cor 6:9 says no adulterer shall see the kingdom of God. God has asked you to marry and divorce 2times and heading for the third one)

5. We now live in the new testament, the old testament doesn't count anymore. so dress however you like, men perm your hair if you like to church, youths can fornicate and it doesn't count, girls can come to church naked if it makes them comfortable, just do whatever you like, since Christ has died, you don't have any problem. We now live under grace.
(ok. so why is tithe the center of the sermon everyday knowing that tithe was only mentioned in the old testament. The funny part is the same pastors will say you should not add or remove from the word of God)

6. We are the true Christians, we're emulating Christ, we're Christ-like cos we're born again.
(ok. so why is this rule not applicable to the jet flying pastors. Last time I checked, Christ didn't have a private jet and he drove those who were turning the church into a money making venture but alas our pastors will be identifying with politicians so they too can get a brown envelope. Instead of preaching to them to help create employment for the jobless youths in the church, they simply shower prayers for them and collect offering. Doesn't sound like what the Christ I know will do)

7. Christ was very rich and he wore an expensive robe that is why they cast lots on his robe to decide who should have it.
(ok. Even if the robe was expensive, so your definition of a rich man is a person who has one expensive robe. Why fabricating lies such as these against Christ just to justify the acquisition of an aircraft.

8. We need jets cos we're spreading the gospel to china,japan,america etc
(How come all your pastors in those countries are not able to run the branches for you and then report to you. I guess you're the only one called by God. Nothing is wrong with visting once in a while. Why travelling there every week or month as the case may be or are you worried about them not giving you proper account of the money they're collecting.
Also I used to think they were actually converting the indigenes of those countries, but I discovered that in most of those churches,its mostly their tribal people that actually worship there. In other words,you'll only find only Africans there. Note: I've been to a few countries,and they've bn the same so far)

9.Catholics are doing confessions, blessing holy water, burning incense, worshipping images, and giving holy communion, therefore they are hell bound.
(Why do they have counseling sessions on a particular day of the week where the member tells them about his past life and and how they want God to forgive them and they want to turn a new live and They pray for him/her. Sorry that is not confession, it is called counseling. Did I mention that they carry the stickers of their pastor and his family on their cars, pictures in their homes, offices EVEN ON THEIR BIBLES. Did I mention that they now bless and give holy communion. Confirm from redeemed and winners chapel.
Also they bless handkerchiefs and carry them around like juju or otumokpor

10. God told me to start my own church that's why I started this church
( No problem but why do you become a stumbling block when one of your pastors receives the same vision and wants to start his own. Some even go as far as cursing the person. )



My point is "the last day will be full of surprises but I pray that God will have mercy on all of us" AMEN

vxtr: Nice contribution Godmouth. I was expecting you to drop hints on how we young guys who are not yet married can curtail the excesses and chill till we get married. Between thanks for ur analysis.

vxtr: I have often wondered time and over again why lots of we men place so much high value on sex. We can do a lots of things all in the name of sex, sleep with women we dont truly love,tell multiple lies just to have sex,date different women at the same time and all sorts of things. Even married men are not left out,some will buy houses,cars,etc all in the name of sex. Great men of God have had their ministries truncated all in the name of sex,presidents and national leaders have had their career cut short just because of sex. Professionals ( tiger woods) have had their career plummeted all in the name of sex. Is there then any real benefits of having sex outside wedlock, i have pondered over this lots of time. one cannot be ever satisfied with sex, why ? Because if you had sex yesterday, tomorrow you will still have the urge all over again. What then is the end points of having sex with different women in your own point of view. Intelligents contribution please. For me i think its a trap especially outside wedlock. Its a trap that leads to hell.

ekoson95: There's dis girl dat I so much like - we weren't dating but we are gud friends. After sometimes we had a querrel and later reconciled, but we don't gist much like before. Then yesterday she told me how she felt, she tinks everybody hates her, nobody wants to talk to her, and worst, dat she is feeling insecure, lonely, depressed and thinking of death. Could it be dat she's losing meaning in her life and is thinking about suicide? I know I have to do something fast, so please I need ur advice, what should I do? I don't want her to hurt herself. Thanks

Madam @ the top:
we met when everything was really tight for me in skool. no job, no money, my bf was doing masters in the uk, he couldn't support me coz he was not working nd all...I don't like disturbing my peeps for money...I don't even know how to ask for any additional money except for my monthly allowance.

I never had the intention of falling in love when I met diz guy coz I knew he wanted me cos his wife was not with him and nothing more. So I was like we should be both act like we're in love with eachoda nd enjoy the moment together. I enjoy his money nd he enjoys watever he wanna enjoy out of me. But I fell in love after checking his profile nd salary on google.

He's a footbaLer,the best guy a lady could ever wish for. He's religious, goodlooking nd caring but he's married with a kid..

He asked his wife for a divorce the 3rd month we started dating. The lady had to fly to our city to talk sensse into his brain. She did all she could to rekindle their marriage. So he asked me to come over to nigeria to come spend some weeks with my fam not knowing he was trying to avoid me.

we've not been communicating well ever since I came back to the country coz he thinks I'm dating him coz of his money. I've tried all my best to get him out of my mind but I can't despite not talking to eachother for like 2months now...This is a guy that cries on phone whenever I do little shakara for him(he only cried
Once tho).

I'm having issue with my real bf....Our relationship has neva been d same ever since we met in lagos. He's really trying his best to make it work but I believe he's doing dat coz of his selfish interest coz I believe a relationship without trust is rubbish...we don't trust eachoda....I think it's berra to stick to my married guy till I'm ready for marriage instead of jumping from one relationship to anoda.

To cut the story short, I love him so much nd I know he loves me too.I'm even planning to go see him in december....I know God is not happy with what I'm doing coz he's married...I'm this religious type of girl. His wife is a prayer warrior too...kindly advice me on what to do coz I'm confused!

eyen nyin: are you married now?

Find Out!:


What is ''muslims sha''?? He is simply trying to point out respectfully that even when many xtian threads make the front page, you will hardly ever find any muslim complaining, not to talk of throwing insults on such threads.

But if JUST ONE muslim thread makes homepage EVEN on a FRIDAY, you see xtians complaining, asking if this is an islamic forum, asking why islam is bein shoved down their throat, then several insults will follow on the Prophet & Allah.

The threads are there. Go and see for yourself and take statistics if you wish. Yet, the general 'consensus' is that muslims are intolerant & insultive. Yeahright!!!!

@Topic, not a xtian, but I dont think any real christian needs the Bible to tell him/her that kissing / hugging someone who is not your

wife/husband (& who you can marry) is a sin. May God forgive us.

What is worse than commiting a sin is proudly defending it or looking for a way to justify it or present it as d right thing.

abdulkayus: We all know how the world has become now. Intimate relationship being rampant, non virgins being hailed, virgins being look down and ridicule against. But deep down in our heart, we all know that premarital sex is wrong and very wrong. There has been many claims that someone cant have a relationship without sex. I want to let you know that they are very wrong. People are still having relationship without sex, it may not be easy and it may be easy, but its also possible. Whether you are virgin or not, you can still maintain a relationship without sex. Do you want to know how? Oya, check out this postulations.

1) Never try to be in secluded place with an opposite sex. It give room to kissin, touching and caressing which may lead to sex. And cos, it is said that when two opposite sex are alone or secluded in a place, the third of them is satan which will definately try to influence them to commit fornication. If you are to see eachother, try meet in an open place like restaurant, park or any open place that you can see people and people can see you.

2) Dont visit your boyfriend house. I know this may sound harsh to some people bt its the damn truth. 90% of intimacy usually take place when a girl visit her guy or spend the night or weekend there. But if you are to go, go with a trusted friend, relative or female siblings. With that, the chance of the guy tryin to have sex wit you will reduce greately. And also dont make it to be frequent.

3) It was said that an idle mind is the devil workshop. Try to engage your hands in something and put off the feeling of having sex in your mind. Although, the feeling do come once in a while, but you can put it down. Reading some books, non romatic novels, Holy Books, playin TV game and many other things can make you put off sexual feeling from your mind.

4) Get married on time. Its better for you to marry on time and save yourself the anger of God than to be engagin in pre marital and then invoke the anger of God on you.

5) last bt not the least, have the fear of God. You may not be able to see him, bt remember that he see you and he is present anywhere you are. You cannot have sex in front of your parent. So then, if you cant do it in their present, while do it in presence of Almighty God. When we have this in our mind, i think many sins committed will be reduce drastically.

This epistle may be long bt its worth it. Anything you can add on it? Bring it on.

andromida:


There is nothing wrong in seeking for counsel from your pastor as regards what to look out for in a spouse if you are confused and to pray along with you but there is something wrong asking your pastor to tell you who is right or wrong for you. God loves everyone and will answer if you ask him for help, you as an individual should know what you want so that when you see it you can do the needful. When people are not sure they ask their pastors when they are sure they inform their pastors.

andromida:

She is not his wife yet. He does not act like a husband either why is he expecting submission from a woman who is his friend. Heck she is not even his fiance,he has a no of check points against her. She should not act any role but that of herself if adjustments can be made to suit both parties all good if not everyone can go their separate ways.

andromida:

What has submission and orderliness in the house of God to do with a man finding a wife? Why must a man and a woman make the pastor their God, pastors are not God. Man and wife to be can pray to God as well and they need not be the holiest member of the church before God speaks to them. All it takes is a sincere heart.

bellong:

You are still not getting the point. Is there any place I have claimed there is no genuine minister of the gospel? Even the genuine ones can still be deceived when you both placed idols in your heart.... If you cannot pray to God yourself about the issue of marriage, how can you pray to God when you are confronted with storms of life in the marriage?

Read Ezekiel chapter 14 to understand what I am saying

bellong:

Your examples are not concrete enough and do not have biblical support. Yes, I do not doubt the revelations of God through his ministers but I will never agree that God will not reveal some things to you except you share it with your pastor. That to my understanding has no biblical root.

However, God may reveal stuff to your pastor when you are very insensitive or willingly suppressing information to stop you from entering a gulf but He will never withhold information about your life from you.

The lady you described already believed she cannot hear God herself by your description, hence she resorted to telling her pastor. While in your case, your dreams came because of the many emotions you already stuffed up for the lady. And who says the pastors themselves cannot be deceived? You need to read the bible well to know that we all as christians have the mind of Christ and by the spirit we know all things......

greatgod2012:





I dont agree with you on this, but seeing your username, i wont say anything, because i know that you too wont agree with me.

bellong:

Can you back the bolded up with a credible and convincing evidence?

angiemartinez: I had the opportunity of chatting with a friend yesterday and i asked about her fiance, she told me of how all the churches she visited and all the pastors she met told her he is not her husband, That she will not enjoy the marriage. so now she is tryn to quit the relationship. what ever happens to seeking the face of God yourself? I am of the opinion that there is no man made for any woman going by what the bible says that 'HE WHO FINDS'.

Preciousgirl: I am trying to give my life to christ
so i have tried to stay away from sinful acts
but i am facing very intense enmity, hatred and attack from my workplace and family.
people are fighting me without cause.
people love to hate me.
please i need your help

1Music2luv: Please, I nid your help!
Im 31yrs old
Im planning to get marry this year to a lady, i've known for some years
bt, we started dating some 6 months ago.

Im confused, because i want to know God's will on this. I want to be sure of my choice.
The pressure is much on me to get marry


Please, How do i go about it. I mean knowing Gods will.

Experience from married couples are welcome.


Thanks

obillyj:

I think you sound too harsh & biased. the point am trying to portray is that Singles should not be in a hurry to get married. we need to understand singlehood n live completely as single before we can enter marriage cos it's only then can we have d blissful marriage.
this tread is not to discourage marriage but to celebrate n live fulfilled as a single before marriage comes n not to live with d gloomy faces of defeated singles i see around all the time. it is to live above d fact " yes am not married yet but am fulfilled" & someday d spouse will show n not to be depressed or move from one prayer house to another.
