No, I'm just explaining the sad truth behind having crush. Most ladies have been hurt before due to this. They fail to realise the meaning of love, they take crush to be love and they fell into the trap. Later they cry and say a man broke their heart. The same thing will happen to this lady.

Oh, K, she should just break communication with the guy, he is married and her cousin, what kind of selfishness is that one. If everybody makes moves on their crush, this world will be upside down......that applies to the man too. #nonsense.

sexybbstar:
This is CRUSH not LOVE. She" fell in love"with him the first time he saw him? No, she fell for his looks and for the fact that he's abroad - based. Crush don't last, the moment they have the real sex, the scales will fall off her eyes. She's not in love but she's in LUST.

are you suggesting she sleeps with him so as to get over him?

Junia:
No. Jesus preached the law to those under the law.
And He preached grace too.
When reading the bible, consider these things so that you do not confuse yourself.
Concerning divorce, didn't you realise Jesus preached grace instead of law ? Didn't you see him setting aside the law of Moses and establishing a new message concerning divorce ?


Please read and understand the word of God

Who did He preach grace to?

smoy:
on medical benefit i totally agreed with you and on the spiritual level it was a command to Abraham the father of faith to circumcise and a warning that if don't you shall be cut away from God and the affirmation of this by Jesus was that Jesus was circumcised, but the problem was that self apostle of Jesus called Paul he preaches contrary to the teaching of the mater, Jesus. circumcision is a must.

Sir, did you read the scriptures (Acts 10 & 15) I referenced? Paul had no say there. In fact, the said Paul you say is against circumcision, circumcised Timothy ( Acts 16:3).

ponziponzi:
My point is, there are many things in the Old Testament that we as Christians don’t do. The fact that Jesus did something is not a prescription for the Christians to do.

I never said that it should. What I meant is where there arise a conflict between the Old and New Testaments concerning any issue, the New Testament supercedes the Old. Hence my reference to Jesus and the disciples. For example Jesus treated the issue of divorce differently from the mosaic law and we now adhere to His teaching instead of that of the law. Jesus did not teach on circumcision, but the disciples deliberated on it, hence my stand on circumcision. So out with the Old in with the New.

ponziponzi:
So? Jesus attended passover too, do you attend Passover? You should understand that the description of something doesn’t make it is a prescription.

Did Jesus treat the passover in a different light from the old testament sir? Your reference is like a basket sir, it holds no water.

shadeyinka:
No. Timothy was probably moy circumcised
His Father was greek

Paul actually circumcised Timothy. (Acts 16:3).

smoy This issue is of circumcision is not even an issue. I believe that any issue that pertains to the old testament that has been treated in a different light in the new testament by Jesus or His disciples, the old should be discarded. In Acts 10, we see the Holy Ghost falling on gentiles for the first time to the bemusement of the jews. If God Himself does not regard circumcision or not before pouring out His Spirit, who are we to enforce it on anyone. Apostle Peter called circumcision a yoke (Acts 15:7-11) when there was a dispute on circumcision. In that same chapter (vs 29) they told the new christians what to abstain from or do, and circumcision was no where on the list. Am I saying it should be done away with? no. I agree children should be circumsised if not for anything for the medical benefits. But being circumcised or not does not change your standing with God, therefore it is not a must for a christian (Acts 15).

Junia:
They were still under the law at that time
Christians are not under the law
Tithing was not money but agricultural products
Jesus didnt pay tithe neither did His disciples because they had no agricultural products
The tithe was for the levites .. priests .. widows etc
Now we Christians are the royal priesthood
Who are we paying tithes to ??

Anything Jesus said is final, anything He upheld, applies to us now. For example, when Jesus spoke on divorce, what were they under? Is His teaching on divorce relevant till now? So since Jesus, said "you should tithe, yes" (Matt 23: 23 NLT) it is expected of us to tithe. The tithe originally was for God, not priests. The bible said, the Levites paid tithe to Melchizedek (Heb 7:9). Your tithes are for God, if any pastor is eating the tithe, he/she is stealing from God.

smoy:
if you believe you are Christ-like not Paul-like you must be circumcised.

Any Biblical Proofs Sir?

I seriously have questions oh. Who took all these pictures and taped all these footage, they should be the first to be investigated and to lead security forces to the location and end this irritating nonsense. This is not time for talk or protest, the governments are not to wait for protests before they act and act swiftly. This is also an indictment to the government of Libya (if any exists), how can something as massive as this be going on at your shores and you're not aware. This is just sad, humanity is losing its whole essence. Dogs now care for each other, more than humans for themselves.

Lightening:
Very poor comparison. Pastor Chris happens to be a custodian of peoples' charity givings and donations. Is the writer also receiving donations for charity?

I did not compare anybody, I only asked someone a series of question. Why will you give charity to Christ Embassy? Is it a charity organisation? The writer is a custodian of his own money, from his little what has he done?

Gryffindor:
Really funny how u left the points he made and turned ur attention to his personality,tell me those points of his doesn't intrigue u,why dont u counter him based on those points he has made made than counter the good he could nor couldn't hv done,if u ask me sounds cowardly of you

Those points are not proof of anything. If anything, he did not prove it impossible that the jet was bought as a gift, expensive and difficult, yes but impossible, NO. His points also included using the money for the poor. So I asked what he has done for the poor in his own small capacity.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
I swear you just made my day with this wonderful writeup. God bless you.
Pastor Chris started preaching the gospel when he was 15 years old in Benin, and today Pastor Chris is over 50 years and somepeople still expect him to be in one level.

Amen Sir, Bless You Too.

victorioushands From your answer sir, i think you are a christian, so i will answer you appropriately. First, prosperity is my right as a christian, your right too and every believer's right. We The God Who "...giveth...power to get wealth" (Deut 8:18), The God "....which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant" (Psalm 35:27). The God Who ..."became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich." (2Cor 8:9). Prosperity is our portion who do you expect to ride private jets? Unbelievers alone? Nope, we too ought to, if you can afford it, why not? Do you know the charitable work they do? Secondly, there is no doubt that there are Men of God eating people's money and God's money. But it is not your job to judge any one of them (Rom 14:4), let alone allow an unbeliever change your opinion on one. Finally sir, never look up to any man, these pastors are men too like you. Look up to Jesus, that way you will never be ashamed of anybody. Shalom victorioushands.

Mysselff2:
In essence,who the guy epp ?
What business is he into ? Hope he is not into fraud or drugs because body dey quick pepper hypocrites like him
So Mr OP who you epp?

Lol

rectitude:
Profound! Couldn't have said it better. You have blessed my day.
They know not, neither will they understand.

Thank You, I'm glad to be a blessing.

Nwakerendu:
I sense thus boy is christ embassier or whatever you call yoursleves.

No, I'm not sir, just a believer

vertueptime:
U are askin what has he done? He has exposed the pastor for the fraud he is, it will save many potential gullible people from been scammed, poor people if i myt add. So he has helped alot of people by helping them avoid been duped and scammed

what has he done with his own money? his problem is that the money should have been used for the needy

I admire your knowledge base, and I can see that your issue is not the jet but that the money should have been used for the needy. You seem to be a good researcher, have you researched on Pastor Chris & Christ Embassy's efforts to reach out to the needy? Let's leave that aside, you said the money should be used to meet the needy ones, let me ask you how many needy ones have you met their needs? With your little income, how many people's lives have you touched? How many people can point at you and say "this guy has been a blessing to my life" not because of the relationship that exists between you guys but because of your impact. It is easy to point fingers at people, but you, what have you done with the little you have? which needy have you helped? Your moaning reminds me of one of Jesus' disciple who was against a gift given to Jesus. His reason; the gift should have been sold and given to the poor. Sounds familiar? I earnestly desire that you do not end like he did.

Colossians 2:8:
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

OKAY

plainbibletruth:
1. What did Jesus say that the Pharisees were tithing from your above Bible passage quoted?
They were tithing plants from their gardens. This does not amount today's gimmick of tithing money.

2. PLEASE! Where is the "New Testament Proof" for ALL those points you listed?
You've only succeeded in showing us that you're as gullible as others. You're given a few Bible verses laced with human viewpoint and you immediately accept it as PROOF!.

as much as I will love to answer you, you've drawn up your conclusions so no thanks.

....Contd.... 6. Tithing was approved, confirmed and commended by the master Jesus in the New Testament. Jesus speaking in Matthew 23:23 (TLB/NLT) "Yes, woe unto you, Pharisees, and you other religious teachers - hypocrites! For you tithe down to the last mint leaf in your garden, but ignore the important things - justice and mercy and faith. YES, YOU SHOULD TITHE, but you shouldn't leave the more important things undone." 7. Tithe was also validated by Apostle Paul Hebrews 7:1-8. If He liveth, He receiveth. 8. The New Testament believers exist beyond the tithe realm. Our realm is the realm of sacrifice, where we give our all to God and not just ten percent. Prov 23:26 Rom 12:1-2 2Cor 8:1-5. FACTS ABOUT THE TITHE 1. The tithe belongs to God, not the pastor; no true man of God looks to tithe for survival. 2. Tithe is paid at the place of one's spiritual covering. 3. The tithe is to be paid of ALL income. 4. The tithe is to be paid in whole. 5. Everybody should pay tithe, no pastor is too big to pay tithe."

Dr Paul Enenche's teaching on the tithe at Kingdom Power & Glory World Conference 2017 On Tithe. (summarised). " Beware of being pastored by social media. One reason why tithing is controversial is because of the grip money has on people Luke 16:13. What Is The Tithe? 1. Tithe is one-tenth of a person's income. 2. Tithe existed before the law Gen 14:18-20. If the tithe did not come with the law, it can't go with the law. 3. The tithe did not begin as a commandment, it began as a kingdom principle delivered to Abraham by revelation. Abraham was the first to pay tithe, he did not read it from anywhere, he got it by revelation. 4. Kingdom principles and revelations are universal in application. Mark 13:37. Time does not change principles or divine revelations. 5. Believers are the seed of Abraham and are commanded to walk in his steps Galatians 3:16-17 Romans 4:12 (including tithing). Abraham was paying tithe when no one else was paying tithe, why should you now look at who is paying or not?... [continues below]

There is a saying that evidence ends argument. Tithe was before the law, in the law and after the law. Abraham and Jacob paid tithe before the law, the Israelites paid in the law and Jesus (Who is said to come and abolish the law) urged us to tithe. How do I know? Matthew 23:23 (TLB) Jesus speaking "Yes, woe upon you, Pharisees and you other religious teachers - hypocrites! For you tithe down to the last mint leaf in your garden, but ignore the important things - justice and mercy and faith. YES, YOU SHOULD TITHE, but you shouldn't leave the more important things undone." This Is Jesus speaking in the New Testament, I personally believe that The Lord's Words is final. YOU SHOULD TITHE.

nice piece, God's blessings bro

Nothing can happen to a child of God without the permission of God, since God said don't touch his life, the devil couldn't touch, he could only touch at God's permission. Hence Job said God takes because he knew the devil could not take except God permits.

correctguy101:
Aye, he saw there were three men approaching him, now as they were eating one of the men was talking and was from that very moment referred to as the Lord even till the first two left and that was even when the other two were then referred to as angels in the next verse. ...

How do you guys manage with all these?
I'll pass this on my JW sisters when next I visit them let me even hear what a JW will say on this.

I'll make their reply known here.

you are absolutely correct, what you need to understand is that, Abraham did not see God's face as your thread topic suggests, but the face of a man.
