emmyskies: Identifying fake pastors is very easy, Christ has already told us how: by their fruits, we shall know them.

Check the members of the church and compare their lifestyle with the word of GOD and the world. They must belong to one of these two. Others that will seem not to fall on the side of the world but are false should be further compared to this verse how JESUS CHRIST wants His church to be:

"That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:27)

Hmmm

Explain how your own argument is not cyclical.


All it comes down to is you don't believe in christianity or the bible.

No need replying this post, thanks.

I don't feel like long typing today, at least not for this particular topic, maybe someone else will oblige you.

Its not everytime one has the patience or inclination for typing long theses on the internet in order to convince somebody of something.

Its ok to let go and let God once in a while.

Can be refreshing too.

hifaif: You can't win an argument against somebody who has been programmed to defend an assertion from being challenged or questioned

Skeptic: Why do you believe in the bible?

Christian: Because it is the word of God

Skeptic. How do you know it is the word of God?

Christian: Because the Bible says so.

Why is it bad when a christian does it but good when "one of your own" does it with whatever "tome" of their choice?


Sometimes the reason is because the arrival point is still where the argument is leading to anyway, so why not just go straight to the point ie koko of the matter instead of engaging in longwinded merry go rounds.

All arguments are cyclical at one point or the other.

You may or may not pick up something useful during the trek.

If the friend is broke, its still better to buy her the clothes, not give her used ones.

Unless you people are close like that.

I thought used clothes are typically given to relatives, not friends.

I generally prefer giving new clothes, not used ones because these days everybody can afford even better clothes than what one is using sef.

Used clothes should either be sold or donated imo.

I don't know if this is a nigerian thing, but overseas people display photos of their family at their workplace, discuss the grandkids, in laws, etc.


That is why I find the thread very strange.

However, if it is not safe to discuss your husband and kids, relatives, etc then people should stop doing so.

bukatyne: Emm tpia,

I will assume I did not see your post

Thanks

I don't mean to sound harsh but sometimes you have to allow for the harsh sound of what you're saying.

Saying its abnormal for someone to talk about their family? That's very harsh.

Let's say a woman has been praying for a husband, she finally got one, maybe another has been hoping for children, and God answered her prayer. You, her friend who should have even been there for her during her pregnancy, now turning to her enemy just because you don't like her talking about her responsibilities.

How do you think that makes her feel?

Granted, the single friend also feels bad because now you both don't have so much in common anymore, but why attack her family because of that?

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I thought friendship was about showing support for each other even through life's changes. Love is not love if it alters when it alteration finds.

Whatever happened to people being patient with each other anyway?

I really don't think anyone spends 24 hours talking about their family, at some point regular gossip will kick in, but imo its harsh attacking someone's family like that. I'd just quietly find new friends if I found myself unable to relate with my old ones.
