The Bible does not mention the Americas or Australia or do you think it does?

When the bible use the word "GENTILES" it refers to other nations. Spiritualy ,There are three races in the bible . The Jews the Gentiles and the new creation.

Barbing of hair subtracts from Gods original creation. It is therefore carnal and worldly and sinful

Hmmm, Oh The bondage of man made laws! . Thank God we have scriptures. We won't bath again nor wear shoe.

ogajim:
Any Christian that can't live with the "ORIGINAL" parts God gave him/her is being WORLDLY if you ask me. If you hate your grey hairs so much then shave your head instead of "afri hair dye" which looks ridiculous to say the least because everyone ought to know you're living a LIE anyway.

Hair dye is carnal, weavon must be carnal too, likewise make ups and combing of hair!.

SirJohn:
Does that include false prophets ? ? ?

The world loves it's own.

John 15:17-18
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before[ it hated] you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world.

otokx:
A lot of Nigerians are in deception and that is why the country is developing backwards.

Because the people that God would have used to develop the nation are always being persecuted.

Luke 4:24
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

this is your first sensible post as far as I'm concerned Take high five . Either you like it or not

ogajim:
Freewill giving is not even restricted to the "Church" or to Christians, you can give whom ever you please or as your spirit/heart leads you not the kind of nonsense one hears on the pulpit these days about " will a man rob God, " Malachi wasn't even written for the Gentile or Christian, you guys know this and deliberately steal or don't know it and don't care to know it due to PROFIT motive.

As much as I agree with you that no one should be threatened with the issue of tithe. And Malachi was not written for gentilel. But the issue of tithing gies beyond the law . And God has never at any time condemned it. He condemned many activities under the law. And threes is no single scripture where God spoke against tithe. It continues , as long as there is a high priest .

Ymodulus:
@JOAGBAJE your bible quotation has no relation to whats on ground

Bobo , my quotation explains Adeboye's position. Even though the bible predicted rumours of war, God wants us to pray for peace. And that's Adeboyes position and that's what the verse I quoted stated.

1 Timothy 2:1-3
1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone– 2 for kings and all those in authority,that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

@kunleoshob ,
You said this year will be insult free, now you're calling us deranged, lunatics etc.

Pastor chris does not use Facebook . Twitter was for a special purpose , to pray . He is not into popularity contest. He wants us to pray and do intercession.period. Anybody can open Facebook account in anybodys name.

SirJohn:
Oyaks is from Edo state, a south south state in Nigeria and as many of you would know, from years back its always been a common and almost normal thing to see men straighten their hair or wear earrings in the then Bendel region. It did'nt start from Oyaks, Ayo Oritsejafor wore jerry curls in the early nineties (hes from Bendel/Delta state), Chris Okotie also had jerry curls (hes also from Bendel/Delta state) and some others I don't have their names.

I remember in the 80s pastor ayo oritshejafor used to wear a big Afro curl like the Jackson 5. In the days when men wear Afro with side burns, arch bishop had some side burns too. Fashion is a personal thing.

sometimes I wonder how he feels sitting down under a hairdryer or having stuffs put on his hair all the time

You don't have to be under dryer , that's womens affair, just get a soft relaxer,wash it off and you are like any other man, Except that your hair is softer to comb now. No need of messy oil dripping on chair like "COMING TO AMERICA" technology has improved .

fyneguy:
^^^^ Stop being a nuissance. I experienced what Mabel said. I could not follow Pastor Chris. The problem actually was that because of the prayer sessions, many people tríed to log on at the same time and that affected Twitter's server. You can have a database capacity of 20 million but concurrent user capacity of 1 million.

@Donnie ,
I don't think the problem was the following but the signing up. They've not had such huge signing up at once , Pastor christ gave meaning to Twitter. I remembered when I first sign up for Twitter by invitation and some people began to follow me, I didn't know where i dey go sef. Where are they following me to? I will just receive notification." So and so is following you". I tried to follow someone but What do you see on Twitter. "I'm sad today" "I feel dull today" or things lime "I'm brushing my teeth" etc. but when pastor came on twitter , he called for prayers and intercession at different hours of the day. "by 1200hrs we will be praying together for so and so" everybody got excited . The traffic was high. Peopke were signing up round the clock world wide. So it got twitter attention when the website crashed for two days . Nobody coukd log in or sign up. They had to write us officially demanding to know what was happening.

So we are not in competition to have highest followership, we are only using technology for jesus. But thank God we have our own platform now. I just signed on YOOKOS yesterday through my facebook.

PRINCE4CHRIST:
Is it not wrong to dye hair and when i was born i think my hair was curled as a little born child. I think i have answered your question.

U remembered what i said, that am not against curling of hair but for a big pastor like him to do so is not wise.

Thats your religious mind and That's not the point, the question is simply if its right or wrong.

1) Is he curling hair to look handsome or what?

Same reason you cream and comb yours

2)what message is he sending by curling his hair?

The message he is sending is that he like Gods creation and he is maintaining it nicely.

3)Does he wants to tell God that he dont like the way He created his hair?
4)Is he not comfortable the way God created his hair?

He is actualy appreciating God for creating his hair curly by maintaining it that way. You yourself admitted your hair was created curly.or are you now contradicting yourself?

hen i was born i think my hair was curled as a little born child. I think i have answered your question.

5)Is he trying to tell Christian Nigerians to curl hair?.
Now answer me.

it is every mans business how well you take care of your hair . There's no biblical creams revoke ded. Why fo you cut your own hair which God created? Because it's your choice . So it's hypocritical to point finger at another person that make himself look good the way he feels.

thehomer:
Of course this does not excuse the absence of such large landmasses, but then it seems like according to you, God has changed his mind about Israel yet again. And is determined to keep doing this until he damns a lot of them along with the majority of humans that ever lived.

That's not what the scriptures say. Why don't you study the bible and stop assuming

@PRINCE4CHRIST
I will ask you 2 questions and I want an honest answer.
1.Is it wrong to dye your hair black if it's losing color ?
2. when you were born, was your hair curly or coarse?

Jenwitemi:
I am not asking any question because there is none to ask. The whole second coming of hippie jesus is just plain absurd, just like your post. Who is going to come again for the nation of nigeria or the continent of africa? Where is our own messiah? Have you ever asked yourself that question? I mean, who gives a rat's behind about Israel? To each nation, her own, no?

thehomer:
Not this again. Did the Bible writers know anything about the Americas, Australia or Antarctica?

This is the time for the nations . We are in what the bible call THE AGE OF THE GENTILES. That is why you guys needs to get saved fast now. The attention of God is not on israel at the moment because they are experiencing blindness. God attention is on Nigeria, America, africa, Australia etc. And all the nations you are advocating for. But after the rapture , the attention of God will shift to Israel again. 

Romans 11:25-26
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

You can be part of the numbers of the gentile nations today.

Help:is it rite 4 a boy to marry a girl of the same age with him,after seeing all he wanted in her?if yes or no waz your advice

Marriage is not for boys and girls.

Several ladies have their insecurities and fear, they are afraid of being stuck into a wrong relationship . Especially if they came from broken home or witness their father beat up or maltreat their mother. Some also have such troubles because of a bad relationship they had. So to hold her fear against her. She needs help. She needs help. Of course some ladies may behave like that if they don't want commitment . But for her to come back shows she is serious, she was only dealing with fear and insecurity. You are the one that can heal her with a good understanding. And assuring her over and over of you love for her. She will come out of the insecurity. Seeing a pastor won't be a bad idea because some cases like this can be spiritual or demonic. But you've not married a wrong wife . She needs help

frankkky:
Does one have to be in love with his wife to have a happy marriage?i wonder about this thing everyday because truth be said in my case i was never in love with my wife when i married her,she was pregrant and right from childhood i had sworn never to have a child outside wedlock so i married her and i belive i did the right thing i didnt care what anyone said then,there are certain things that are important in marriage than the so called love,i belive in honour and responsilibity,to me those are the ingreidents that survives a marriage,i may not love my wife passionately today but i make myself a trustworthy husband to her,anyone out there in my type of situation?lets be honest here

Love is not a criteria for marriage.This falling in love idea is only a chemical reaction based on feelings. It is not stable and it can burn off. That's what has destroyed many homes. A man sends his wife parking, you ask him why , he says nothing , "I just don't love her any more and I don't want to deceive myself" because the relationship was based on the feeling of love.

You don't have to fall in love to marry. There are different kinds of love. The "feeling" is only a part .the real love is a commitment, A duty and a responsibility.It is pure and it is not based on feeling . The bible didn't say that a man should marry who he loved but a man should love who he had married. The real love develop by commitment . It is a choice .

So the feeling will come along the way with the real love. It is a choice. As you focus on the good qualities and virtue of the partner, the love will only get stronger. So the fact that you are not madly in love now doesn't mean anything is wrong.

@Blueeyes02
Are you guys Christians ? If you are Christians  meet your pastor. The church knows what to doin such cases . Besides  your man has to be a man. He should not put you under the pressure of trying to please them for approval. He is a man and he should act like one. They should not dictate his life for him. He marries for himself and not for them. He ought to make his stand clear , and persuade them . If they seem to be unreasonable , the church has power to join two of you without their consent . That is if their stand is unreasonable and unscriptural. But before such stand is taken , the church must have done the best to persuade them. So go through the church.

So many people are waiting for a new year to bring a new chsnge. They are stylishly tsking the responsibility off their lives and dumping it on the year. Nothing special about the year but what we do with the year and in the year. That's what count. In the 90s several people were waiting for year 2000 a year of magic . I remember I old some folks. Don't think year 2000 will change yoursystus. You will still be thesame person under the same condition if you don't change your way if thinking .

Ymodulus:
Lol. I cant stop laughing, funny myths and legend. People will just be disappearing in a twinkle of an eye. Your God must be a magician

Several prophecies or the bible have been fulfilled. The bible still contains prophecies which are yet to be fulfilled. Its not an ordinary book . It's more current than tommorows newspaper.

@jenwitemi
Are asking a question or making a mockery?

Don't you belong to a church? Because churches have fellowship for women . Except of course if you prefer the online friends

@Kay

Kay 17:
My conclusion is this; since u have being unable to make a reasonable defence, the bible is not suitable to our times, it dictates to primitive and uncivilized ppls. It ought to be abandoned and forgotten.
It sets contradictory theme on the immutable will of god. An unchanging god can not have two wills!

The bible is not a text book. The word of God is for sons of God. You can't understand nor interpret the bible until you get born again and recieve the spirit of God. You are looking at spiritual things from natural perspective.

1 Corinthians 2:14. (KJV)
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know[ them], because they are spiritually discerned.

 1 Corinthians 2:14 (AMPLIFIFED)
14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly( meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them[ of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. 

I guess what you are making reference to the Rapture of the church.  The rapture of the church is not thesame as the The second coming of christ . The rapture is the next immediate experience for the church. It is a disappearance of Christians from the earth which will take place within split of second (twilking of an eye)

But the second coming of christ is the visitation and deliverance and salvation of Israel. When christ will deliver them from the enemy at the battle of armagedon. The whole of Israel shall be saved as a nation.they rejected their messiah once but this time they will recieve him. This will take place 7 years after the rapture .

I traveled 7hrs to night of bliss canada just to see the amazing miracles we see on tv, and especially the TAKE IT!!!!
moment when 200 peope fall and all of the white chairs fly all over, None of this took place, i was disappointed can someone tell me why?  but then that very next week pastor chis went to USA and said TAKE IT!!! about 5 times and everybody was slain! please help me understand,

Its called impartation of the spirit. Its only done to impart abilities to certain people or as the spirit leads. It is done by the laying on of hands on people , but when they are many  and there's no time to lay hands on each person, a minister may blow breeze or  speak words such as "RECIEVE" or TAKE IT "  and the impartation still take place. Some fall ,some don't.The purpose is not the falling down but what individusls recieve in their spirit. After all it's not every body that falls, and the fact that someone did not fall doesn't mean he didn't recieve.

But miracles took place in canada even if he didn't say "take it" , or didn't  he not minister to the sick while you were there?. Because I saw some white folks testifying of the miracle they received .

waoo I didn't think of that. Happy new decade!

I will like to say a happy new year to Seun of Nairaland and to all the moderators, and to all our Nairaland members.
I pray that the knowledge of the glory of God will fill our lives more this year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

^^^ Hmmmmmm yes that is the right word- Gradualism

I got that word from one of my studies on the Bildergerg group and other Cabals ruling the world economy and politicaly secretly. So gradually they seem to be setting the stage for the end time.
