Religion / Re: Is It Biblical For Pastors To Advertise Miracles by Idahsteve: 11:10am On Aug 31, 2009 |
churches now are sophisticated and modern forms of business. if pastor chris don't advertise, he cant sell his bible rhapsody of (un)realities which is now FM CG selling and competing with recharge cards sales. like Guinness and coca cola his marketing campaign has become very aggressive especially during October 1st independence celebrations. which buttresses the fact that Christianity as a religion was adapted wholesale from the activities of pagans |
Romance / For Better For Worse. by Idahsteve: 10:36am On Aug 31, 2009 |
pls i will appreciate comments on the firness in the word 'for better for worse'. people have become enslaved and trapped in marriage because of the existence of such philosophies even when its obvious they are fed up. |

Religion / Re: The truth your pastor would not tell you about tithes by Idahsteve: 7:34pm On Jun 16, 2009 |
gentle men/ladies, in my opinion every body is right in what ways and how they have made contributions in this matter. however, i think what we refer to as religion today is a political system or systems of governance that has spanned through cultures and civilisations and has advanced to what we call democracy in modern times and America the chief evangelist because they are preaching democry through the world. when you lead a people's resources are required. what was tithing then for the Israelites to advance and fulfil what God has destined for them is modern day taxation. tithing or whatever you give don't go to God. it is actually what we give to others in love that we have given to God. it may not be in church to obey the universal law of giving. stephen idahosa |

pls know that every religion is the idea of a man like me and you. Christianity was a slogan in Anthioch. claiming or behaving as a christian does not automatically makes you a seeker of God and his ways. spirituality could be attained through sacrifice, love, giving and sharing, subduing and total control of the flesh. these things can be practised and you can be it any where. AND NOT NECESSARILY IN THE CHURCH. stephen idahosa 08055572240 |

I just hope Africans would realise that at every stage of civilisation new forms of political systems designed for slavery/colonisation emerges and which are designed to check and control freedom,dignity of fellow man, it was the roman system of enslaving the world before king James had to reduce the books into 66 books to make it suitable to govern his people. they were all political systems. In modern civilisation there are clamour for institutions that respects freedom and dignity of fellow men and which have been observed as absolutely absent from known religion as practised around, it has been abused to the extent that pastors who claimed holiness now flogs members claiming deliverance. I think these are becoming outdated as people are now waking up from their slumbers, poverty has been the major cause because they are enslaved by the promise of miraculous blessings, breakthroughs, and prosperity without hardwork and good vision for themselves. those that can't get immediate breakthroughs are told to re-enforce tithing.(blackmail) Some pastors have gone into aggressive revenue drive by inviting international stars to their church to attract more attendance leading to more offerings and tithe collections, even inviting R. Kelly of sex in the kitchen fame to their holy house of God claiming the Storm is over. I think to live a better life we should embrace true democracy as practised in the USA where a governor caught with a girl can be impeached, which demonstrate the sancrosant morals that is required for our present civilisation. A kind of democracy that respect the dignity of fellow man. and where the ten commandment is the truthful applications of the rule of law. these will lead us back to serving God in spirit and truth. With the efforts of America i see democracy as the emerging and universal religion for modern civilisation. stephen idahosa 08055572240 |
Religion / Re: Did Jesus Contradict Himself? by Idahsteve: 2:13pm On Apr 26, 2009 |
bros, trying to defend any of these ac-certions is equally fanatical. the best way you can worship God Ur creator is in spirit and in truth. which Jesus as one of the people that devoted and worship GOD asserted. he brought a revolution against Judaism as practised by the pharisee and scribes who claimed they knew the law. of moses and where fanatical about it. hence those criticism like washing outside of a cup and leaving inside or washing hands before anything. he even scatted tables in the temple. nobody has monopoly of the direct way to God cause you have a soul which is the in plant of God in you that connects you to him and he reveals himself to you just as the manner and way you have sought him and that's why God means many things to many people. the best way to God is through sacrifice and the consciousness of a sancrosant being. that's spirit and truth. |
