adeitoro;
Is a problem to Christendom, imagine some churches don't marry each other.

can you imagine that?...yet we claim to be serving same God..
..no wonder CAN can hardly speak same voice.

To put this ?? in another way; is God happy with this trend at all?...especially with so much contradictions here and there.
....
Mod, move this to fp pls....

It is not affiliated with idolatry/superstition. It is common logic; the
left hand does the disgustting things related to the body whereas the
right is treated as the decent one. The left hand is believed to be the
'bad boy' because it is responsible for co-ordinating certain tasks I
would not want to mention. Therefore, engaging that same 'filthy' hand
in 'decent' day-to-day activities is a sign of filth on the user and
also an act of gross indiscipline. People who do this are seen as
uncouth. This is logic at work. You cannot engage it in public, even the
left-handed folks are served and tongue lashed in public. This explains
why the left hand is 'silent' in gatherings. And please, do not
question it beyond this; it has been from time immemorial.

[/quote]wow!..nyc write up. you talk abt logic, reasoning and believe....pls., can you apply same logic to to a person using left hand?...what if you are lefthanded, bro?...
lefthanded pple are created by God just lyk dat..it wasnt learnt but there brain dictates it so. Are seriously telling us that something is wrong with them?
Bro., we have a culture/traditn that have discriminated, harrased, debased and insulted lefthanded pple and i'm saying itz ungodly and unbiblical and u re saying we shouldnt questn such culture and tradtn...and to even think we are raising such culture above the bible is uncall for, pls.
think well, bro.

It is not stated in the Scriptures whether to use
one's left or right hand. The problem here is moral. We believe we give
to God when we give our offerings, particularly when it requires a
basket and well conducted by the Pastor in Charge.

Here is the code: If you were to give to an elder, would you do so with
your left or right hand?

Say your pastor asked you to help him pass his Sunday school manual
during a class, would you do so with your left hand?

Our parents; imagine being sent on errand and you hand over the content
with your left, what do you think the reaction from them would be?

In summary, there is a problem when we conveniently do to God the things
we cannot do to men. Giving to God using one's left hand is an act of
disrespect.

can you please explain the rational behind what makes it a disrespect to man?...why did man frown @ that move in the first place?....my bro., if you check very well, you'll find out itz rooted in adolatary believe/superstition which the bible clearly frowns at...
should we now be elevating culture above the teachings of the bible?

hmmm...interesting topic!
most pple just trasfer there cultural beliefs into Christianity without checking it up from the bible...itz possible that 60% or more Christians might have believed this to be a sin already without questn....this is a wake up call, pals...letz be familiar with our bibles.
to me, the answer is NO NO(nt a sin) as the bible never discriminate against the left hand; it was given same power just like out right hand.

mods, pls move this to fp and let every christains on nl learn.

nwaobitex;So where are the meats.
I hate introduction.

so u be hunter?...hope u caught bush meat in ur hunting spree last nyt?

like you rightly put it, they are just myths that are largely not true...

the best will come our way this ember mths in Jesus name.

I have alot to say but time and space wont permit me.

it was recorded that when she was working with PTDF back then, she returned the money meant for her treatment after the doctor gave her a clean bill of health......that was enough pointer to OBJ that she was a trustworthy and dependable woman, hence, OBJ made her the NAFDAC MD.....we all know the rest of the story.
This is a quality that is rare to find in our country. a quality you displayed while with Nafdac and in your time as the minster. How can i forget how you stood against the 'cabals' will neither let us know the state of health of our president nor allow GEJ to be the president on acting capacity.
You've create an indellible print in my life. You lifetime will always be an inspiration to me.
May God grant your family and nigerians the fortitude to bear your loss..
rest well, ma.

paxonel;
who is this one? What is your own? he says i should check his signature for his whatsapp number i checked it i didn't see it,
anyway, I think he is intelligent, he should begin to think and understand what i talking.
we have suffered a lot in Africa. poverty and corruption is everywhere because the very tenets we derived our moral values in our Islamic and Christian teachings as a nation are in contradiction to the natural human instinct
we have become a people where other white nations are describing as black monkeys, if you have ever travelled abroad you will know what i am talking about
so what i want is change, and the only way we can get that change for Nigeria and our unborn children is to interprete the Bible accurately which no pastor in Nigeria has done yet, that is the only way that the truth can set Nigeria free
have you ever wondered inspite all the churches we have Nigeria is rated among the corrupt in world?
it's like the more church and mosque we go the more corrupt we are
so what i want is change

must it be through whatsapp?...going through his signature, there is an e-mail.
no doubt, he is an intelligent guy and it's obvious he wont go on arguing with you over this here.
@the bolded, clap for yourself......enjoy your trophy!

I didn't miss anything. if you say christianity is not religion which is true to some extent then christians should not be so mindful of church going, they should stay in their house and live a religious free lifestyle like you say Christianity is. Because whether you like it or not church going or gathering is a religious practice which makes Christianity a religion
i tried to distinguish it from this view, that there is difference between The CHURCH and church ( the church we gather ). that THE CHURCH is the body of Christ which is the kingdom of God, the totality of all churches which comprises Catholic, Anglican, winners, deeper life, rccg etc, which we should be mindful of over the church we attend or gather,and that the church we gather is religion that we should not take it seriously, you say i am confused
unfortunately, 96% of Nigerian christians still have that mindset, they got it from Nigerian pastors, all of them, nigerian pastors like reading old testament. Nigerian christians are so dedicated to their churches that it has become a tradition to go to church to work (they call it i am working for God), they so dedicated in church that they are practically unaware that there is an entity called THE CHURCH that they should be dedicated and commited to, this is why Christianity lark unity of purpose in Africa

what is your point in trying hard to derail this thread?.....the OP gave his reason why attending church gathering is very beneficial to him and decide to share that with others here bt all you've been doing is arguing over words and vocabularies.
pls., create your own thread and explain your point/s there.
btw, the OP want to chat with you privately over your questions but you refused the offer.....tell us what you really want, pls.

pimplucious;
We have so scientifically evolved we can do anything
we think, 50yrs on now we still can't find the cure for HIV now ebola
is prowling. I think some few powerful peeps are purposely sabotaging
medical science and cashing in on it

science don't have answer to all things and the few they do have answers to are from the wisdom given by God...itz God thatz Omniscience(all knowing) and anly Him have the answer to what seems mysterious to man.

I cant understand the rational behind threads that are making fp at the expense of imformative and educative once like this.

Mr. SEUN., hope all is well with nairaland?....

Omnipotent God; all powerfull.
Omniscience God; all knowing.
Omnipresent God; present everwhere.....I hail thee, my God and King.
