■ That's why the religious sector will continue to prosper... because they're very good at "customer service"
If the pastor was to be a politician or a CEO like that strong head CEO of Erisco foods...they will rather die than admit that they were wrong, shelve their ego and listen to verdicts of public opinion

Good at customer service my butt! They are good manipulators is instead what this is. If this issue had been the other way around, would the same man not have sued that woman for her last kidney by now?

If people's first and best love was their spouses, and if the first love of their spouses was them, and if their first ever sex experiences was between them and their spouse in marriage; and the first ever sex experience of their spouses was with them in marriage. And if husbands are hardworking, loving teachable and kind, and wives are submissive, teachable and respectful, maybe marriage will be better...

Huh?

■ How do you expect most marriages to work, when some marriages these days, has become transactional? Most folks are now getting married to strangers instead of to their friends. Some just want to get married cos all their friends are already married, and they seem like the odd one out.
If you ask me, marriage is beautiful. Pray to get it right with the right person, and who knows, you might have your happily ever after here on earth.

Mariage has always been transactional; even your forefathers were aware of this and established their traditional laws based on this knowledge. Marriage remains transactional to this day only now people don't consider it worth their investment.

Saying marriage is beautiful means absolutely nothing. And prayer has more than proven ineffective in securing one's investments in marriage, so stop prescribing the same old failed ideas abeg! Come up with new more beneficial ways to innovate marriage and people would consider it of worth again.

Case closed, isn't it?

The issue here is Jesus Christ — His teachings and commandments, God's Law — seems more of an afterthought to you than anything else. You seem to be under some idea that everything Jesus Christ said must be interpreted based on your ideas of what is presented in the rest of the New Testament— Ideas mostly culled from that which you have gleaned from your religious leaders. This is as opposed to validating everything else presented in the rest of the New Testament against that which was first spoken by Jesus Christ. Why?

Hanndye:
■ I had told you: give me an instant, where it was recorded, in the Bible where a non-Israelite was rejected and prevented from being baptized, hence becoming a Christian an you couldn't do that. Why!?

I more than gave you an instant! I gave you Jesus Christ Himself telling His followers not to give that which is Holy — The Gospel of Jesus Christ — to the dogs(non-Israelites) - Matthew 7 vs 6 - in addition to Jesus Christ establishing the fact that His Gospel belongs only to the Lost Sheep of Israel who His Father sent Him to - John 3 vs 14 - 18 & Matthew 15 vs 24. His disciples never took His Gospel to the dogs(non-Israelites) in following the example given to them along with that commanded of them by their Master, Jesus Christ. So, why do you reject Jesus Christ and His commandments is what the issue here at this point?

I think seeing all the measures Dr Paul Enenche of the Dunamis church has taken concerning the situation that happened with Ms Ayim Vera is enough apology. I advise we let the matter die since she has declared her loyalty and love for the pastor.

Nonsense! She suppose sue him instead or at least pay for damages to her image as a lawyer. That way not only restore her image as an individual but also establish herself as a no-nonsense lawyer. But then, do Nigerians want a no-nonsense lawyer or just someone who is on good terms with their gods of men?

■ Tell me how they fast according to the Old testament.
■This is what the Holy Spirit says in the Book of Revelation (22:17): The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
■On Jesus part He had said: 'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,' Matthew 28:19.
■If you like to know this is what had transpired :
Genesis 22:15-18
15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring[a] all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” You still want to say something?

Why are these desperate attempts to deviate from the main issue here which is that Jesus Christ did establish that His Father sent Him ONLY to the Lost Sheep of Israel?

2. This is instead what is written in the context you quoted from the book of Revelations. Notice that the context of what is written is the same Jesus Christ whose teachings and commandments are recorded in the Gospels.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.[d] Amen. - Revelations 22 vs 16 - 21

The Holy Spirit whom you pretend spoke a different thing did not change anything of what Jesus Christ said in His Gospels. He upholds Jesus Christ, the one who told you in Matthew 15 vs 24 that He was sent by His Father — the God of Israel — only to the Lost sheep of Israel. Why you go all the way to the Book of Revelations for information to try to make a liar of Him is beyond me.

3. Here's the message that Jesus Christ gave to His followers in that same passage you quoted from. Note that the instruction was that His followers teach to those whom they are sent to all that which He, Jesus Christ previously taught to them, and this would include....

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28 vs 16 - 20

... the fact that dogs(Non-Israelites) were not to be given that which is Holy, and redemption as offered by Jesus Christ via the Davidic covenant does not belong to the dogs (Non-Israelites).

The World Jesus Christ sent His followers into is the same world that He made clear was previously cursed by God in the desert after which He then raised the Bronze snake - John 3 vs 14 - 18. That world consisted only of the children of Israel— the Lost sheep of Israel described in Matthew 20 vs 22-24—, and that is the same world that He sent His disciples into. There are today Israelites in pretty much all nations of the world, and the work He sent His disciples out to do is to gather them all back from every tribe, every tongue, and every nation of the world, just as described in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 33.

4. That passage has nothing to do with this here issue abeg!

■ You will always quote out of context Bidam thank you for putting it in the correct context
You did not answer yes or no to paul being a judaizer. but I will still respond to your post to point out your error
1. you are a gentile hence you are to recive salvation not directly but through another race (why would any christlike person confess to be a gentile?)
2. you belive that my telling you to obey the law is a heavy burden but this is only true because first you are a gentile an unbeliver
If you had been a jew it would not be a burden it would have been to you for reproof and for instructions in rightouseness
God is HOLY first, Rightousness is just an extension OF HIS DIVINE CHARACTER. Without the LAW there would be no concept of [/b]RIGHTOUSNESS[/b]

I don't follow. I got the impression that you held the words of Jesus Christ above the words of Paul but it seems you don't do that either, or am I wrong?

▶ How did you conclude that the other whom you responded to was a gentile(a non-Jewish Israelite) and not a dog(one of those whom Jesus Christ warned His followers not to give that which is Holy to)? In Matthew 7 vs 6 & Matthew 15 vs 20 - 28, Jesus Christ clearly expressed how His teachings — Redemption from the curse of the Old Law that came through God's covenant with David — was not to be handed to the dogs — Non-Israelites. So, How were you able to ascertain that the commenter you responded to was in fact of the blood of Jacob/Isreal, to begin with?

▶ But the Law was given by God for a National Constitution in the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. That Nation was eventually judged and destroyed by God first in 720BC with the destruction of the Israel half by the Assyrians whom God used to punish the Nation and second by the Romans beginning in 70 AD when the sister nation, Judah, was Judged and decimated. Out of curiosity, If the physical nation to which the Law belonged no longer exists — thanks to God's judgment and destruction—, what value is there to be had in living under that National Constitution? If Nigeria were today destroyed and colonized by foreigners who then abandoned the original Constitutional Law, adopting an entirely different Law or system in its place, is there value to be had in choosing to live under the Old system and Law at that time?

PastorKun:
Acts 15:5-11...
5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

This one na ridiculous response naw! It answers absolutely none of the questions posed nor does it address the issues raised by the OP.

We all hear that on that day,the Lord will show us all what we have been doin from the second we were. I wanna ask our bible scholars,pastors etc. will anyone beside you also watch the video of your life or only you will be shown the 'video'

niceface:
■ Naturally as human, your instinct will tempt you to relate one or two events and draw conclusions. This is often wrong especially when we limit our judgements to surface analysis rather than subjecting such cases to critical in-depth analysis.
This has always been the case when you label a town/village/community as being ‘bad’ due to some few bad heads in such communities. Recent happenings in Nasarawa State do not make everyone from the State an Ombatse worshipper. Also, the security challenges in the North do not make every Northerner a Boko Haram.
Over the years, some communities have been labeled as adulterous/ violent/ fetish people due to few incidents of such acts in those communities. However, that does not make everyone from those communities guilty as charged. It is therefore highly imperative for us to change our orientation and mind-set and learn to give people rooms to prove themselves.
Just like the adage “You cannot from a distance feel the taste of a soup”, you cannot because you encountered one or two bald-headed persons as you arrive a village, labeled it as bald-headed society. It is not uncommon for people to punish innocent ones because of their origin.
Man is an irrational being and each individual you come across is a unique being. Therefore, you cannot predict correctly what an individual is capable of at first encounter.
I therefore urge you to try to overcome the natural instinct and give people rooms to prove their worth before you crucify them. Remember in court, a suspect is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. Let us be fair in our dealings with others and be good to all. Together we can make the world a better place.

Interesting opinion expressed over a decade ago. I wonder if OP holds the very same to this day.

■ This post is addressed to Goshen Shidedemi and drummaboy.I will make it short and simple.You have all been quite evasive over the issue of paul observing all jewish traditions and cultures as witnessed by scripture
Not one of you have been able to defend your position when asked this question. Shidedemi tried by propsing the vows taken by paul were from a different lifetime and that after his conversion he was compelled to complete it.
I have kindly shown him his errors by stating acts 18:18 happend after his conversion.
My question is..
1. Can you tell me why you are quoting pauls words and only pauls words to fight against yashua AND NOT DOING AS PAUL DID?
2. And even after you have seen paul as a JUDAIZER as you put it why are you still raging and imagining a vain thing?
AWAITING RESPONSES

OP, it has been over a decade since you asked these questions. What I would very much like to know is whether since that time you have had a change of mind and maybe joined the bandwagon of those who cast Jesus Christ aside to raise in HIs place their twists(interpretations of the words of Paul)?

segzytemi:
■ If God were to inspire me to write a book, the words in my book would still be my words. They would not be the word of God.
Ask a Christian a question about Jesus, and he might answer with a quotation from Paul. But who tells us Paul speaks for Jesus? Why do weneed Paul to speak for Jesus when Jesus speaks for himself? Why do we need Paul to speak for Jesus when Jesus himself warns us: “Be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time?” (Mark 13:23). If Jesus has toldus all we need to know, why do we need someone else to add to, or subtract from, whathe said?
Limitations of scripture
The word of God is, and will forever be, with God. (John 1:1). God created all things with hisword. He spoke his word to the patriarchs andthe prophets of Israel. Then he sent his word to the world in the person of Jesus, his Son. The word of God now sits at the right hand of God from where he speaks into the hearts andminds of sons of God and judges all things. There is no scriptural basis whatsoever for concluding that this word of God is the same as the word of Paul.

I very much hope you hold these same views to this day.

Going by the market trends, marriage/relationship advisers and others profiting from related fields might be going out of business in the coming years. If you are making money from that industry, your days might be numbered, and this is not a threat. This is because people’s disposition towards marriage is changing globally. The United States for example has witnessed a 60% drop in the rate of marriage since the 1970s according to a CNBC report. The numbers also remain disturbing in China, Japan, the United Kingdom and other notable countries across the world. The data from Africa is not reliable, but the continent might be sticking to its guns for cultural and religious reasons, I suppose. At a certain age, a young adult is coerced to get married by his/her parents or the community. The pressure might be subtle and low, but it is sustained.
Marriage appears to be losing its essence gradually. A recent research organized in the United States by Yale Sociologist - Hannah Tessler and colleagues, showed single women were not open to long-term and committed romantic relationships anymore. Only men were interested but sadly, the research did not reveal the motivating factor behind the interest of the male participants. Sexual factors and nothing futuristic or concrete might have driven it.

The business of marriage is in jeopardy because it is no longer as competitive as it used to be. The benefits that used to separate the married from the competition are no longer apparent — or even of value— and as such the attraction continues to diminish.

She has been setting people up for so long. She is the only staff that has stayed for more than 5 years. Don't underate a threat from a self acclaimed evil person.

From what you have said so far, she does not seem evil at all even though the general talk around the office may be why she finally decided to settle with calling herself an evil person. She sounds a lot like one of those confident types who don't like to be bothered by the mistakes of others while doing her job. Most companies would pick someone like her to work with than the many out there who instead think it is OK for them to make mistakes and not get reprimanded for it.

■ the ongoing israel palestine war didnt start today and wont end tommorow,but it would linger till israel's confidence in the flesh (US,UK and its other allies) fails it;
then a false messiah would show up who is actualy the antichrist. he would pretend to bring peace for a short time; and then eventualy desecrate the jewish temple,stop the offerings and declare himself as God.
He would then persecute the jews .
the palestinian people will take over israel and trample jerusalem under foot. then the jews would realize the true messiah is jesus christ whom they had rejected ; then israel will begin to call upon jesus to come save them . jesus will then remember the convenant he had with their fathers and then descend on the valey and defeat the antichrist and its army and then the jews will be saved.
■ ALL THE REGION & ITS PEOPLE WILL BECOME CHRISTIANITY,and christ will reign as king from jerusalem in the millenium.

Nothing of the claims made here are Scriptural. Not a single religion out there is of Jesus Christ including your religion of Christianity.

On Sunday 14th April in Abuja, Apostle Emmanuel Iren of Celebration Church International, has donated 4 vehicles to dedicated members, for their consistency and dedication.7
Iren, in a statement yesterday, noted that he was moved to this act of generosity to show how appreciative he is of their dedication to the service.
"This is just my little way of encouraging our members who have stood with us in good and difficult times. It could be your turn another time, he said.”

What job or company does this pastor man do or run that he is able to afford the 4 cars? Or is pastor Iren just another pastorpreneur looking to up his scam through giving of gifts in order to encourage his gullible followers to open their pockets to him even more. That scam is not new and did not start with your pastors sef.

Hanndye:
■ You are very ignorant of this things. Jesus Himself lived under the old testament rules and regulations. His followers were also under the old testament laws. It was after His death and resurrection that Christianity began right on the Pentecost day with the Apostle Peter opening the door of the Kingdom (preaching the first sermon) as fortold. Thereafter, every one is welcome.
■ The Book of Revelation reportedly says the Holy Spirit says 'Come' to everyone.

I am afraid the ignorant one here is you. From the moment they met Jesus Christ, His followers ceased to live under the Old Law embracing the new Law instead. Jesus Christ prepared them to endure the same suffering that He did as their master. He called them students/sheep proclaiming He was their Teacher. Even the Pharisees asked Jesus Christ why His followers did not fast as they who were under the Old Law of Moses did, and if you recall Jesus Christ's response to them, you would not that even then He pronounced a rule that was different from that contained in the Old Law in response to their query. It is for this reason that the actions of the disciples continued to bring fear to the religious establishment of the time even after Jesus Christ was taken away from the picture.

These ideas you spew, all of which contradict the very Gospel according to Jesus Christ, in an attempt to distract from the main which is that Jesus Christ indeed warned His followers not to give that which is Holy—redemption by way of the Gospel —to the Non-Israelites(the dogs in even Matthew 7 vs 6) are taken from lies fed you by religious leaders who reject Jesus Christ and assert their ideas in His place.

2. The Book of Revelation never told you that lie. Rather, your pastors and ignorant gods of men did.

∆ May we not see evil or cross path with evil as we seek our daily bread.
My fellow female colleague told me that "She is evil and she will give me pains". The only mistakes I do occasionally that I am aware of is typo. Because am a typist and editor. I have never had any issue with her on the job from what I know. She reported a mistake another colleague of ours made few minutes later.
Claiming I made that mistake. Well, I have prove to show I didn't type that document scheduled to be submitted outside our office.
And every morning she dey on Youtube prayers very loud on her phone
NB: I wonder why Nigerian work environment is normally hostile. How productive can we...

If she is evil, then you can always choose to be the power for good, and make sure to stand up against all evil she perpetrates in the office against you or others by using appropriate channels.

She isn't necessarily the problem with the work environment. The disproportionate ratio of evil to good workers is. If we had more "good" workers in an office than evil ones, then office life would be a saner one.

Hanndye:
∆ Just an instant where a non-Israelite was refused to become a Christian right from the Bible will be enough for me to agree with you.

Matthew 15 vs 20 - 28. The Canaanite woman asked for God's mercy available through the Covenant of David --- redemption that is only available to the Lost sheep of Israel; Jesus Christ refused her it on the basis that she was a dog - a Non-israelite. He instead allowed her have what are crumbs that fall from the table off the children of the master.

The Canaanite woman was most likely not the first Non-israelite healed by Jesus Christ and she must not have been the first to have faith in the land given that all foreigners living in the land were required to live according to the Law of Moses -- faith. However, she had asked for that which belonged only to the children of the master and the children of the master are the Lost sheep of Israel.

∆ When you are in the household of God, the loving God regards you as his children. Outside are dogs and what have you.
As for the way Jesus treated the woman, it shows that salvation is of the Jews and not of any other nation, not of Arabs or what have you.

Later, after accomplishing His mission He would say:

15“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15,16.

I am afraid you have it all twisted on all sides. Jesus Christ never changed His mind regarding those whom His father gave to Him given that at the same end which you reference He also proclaimed that His Words would never change. So when He sent His followers into the world...the world He sent them into was the same world He said His father sent Him, the world that was of the Lost sheep of Israel and not the dogs -- non-israelites.
