Christianity Etc › Pray For Your Enemies Or Destroy Your Enemies? by makedisciples(op): 11:30pm On Sep 24, 2016 |
Jesus taught love. He said give your enemies water and clothes and shelter. Pur pastors say kill them destroy them and flog them koboko I am confused about who they are serving. Jesus in Mathew 5:42-43 says we should pray FOR our enemiea and love them. "Die by fire" "destroy" and many evil words resonate in a house that ia supposed to be of love. No matter how hard we shout or cry the decision to save is by our Lord. Therefore, taking justice into our hands by proclaiming fire as opposed to love as we have been directed by the same person we pray to for his help ridicules our prayers. If you are the boss and u asked your employees to walk away from any confrontations and report to you before taking any actions come to find out that an employee has already handled matters before it got to you, would you be pleases with sucb employee? Violence encouraged in the church even against Satan should be discouraged. God has a plan for us and destroying our enemies has never been one of the duties Jesus gave us. |

You dont seem to be a Christian. Just a random rude rooster femi4: I don't expect you to agree. I have shown to you what a command look like. I repeat, it wasn't a COMMMAND.
I guess Deborah was missing in your Bible. What a bias minded fellow. I ll appreciate it if you don't quote me again.
Good day! |

Are u for real bro? No one is talking about discrimination here. Women were given a command which you read. Why do u bring in human philosophy and logic into the word of God? That is a plain command not discrimination. And Jesus did not choose a woman as an apostle. We heard of Naomi, Mary, martha and all women in the Bible none of them became heads of any congregation. Why bring philosophy to the word? femi4: I have seen them and it was misinterpreted out of context.
There is no discrimination in Christ Jesus Gal 3:26-28
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
You should be able to know when Paul was expressing his own view and when its a command from the Lord.
For example, In 1 Cor 7, compare verse 1-11 and verse 12-14
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Now, lets go back to your scripture and see if its a command or Paul's opinion:
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
The bolded shows that this was Paul's opinion, we didn't see The Lord does not permit or I command you not to allow |

Are u sure u are a Christian? U Sound more like a thug adjoviomole: He does not need counsel from anybody. The bible already states that no divorce and no remarriage except the other member died. So what advice does the leader of a church need.
I just wonder the way most of u atheist bring up irrelevant post. If you don't want to be a christian den don't be, we are not forcing you, and if you want to condemn anything, @ least have knowledge of the bible 1st before u open ur mouth to say n type thrash. |

U may check the first 2 responses/comments i got. You an i know the truth, Sinaj. We cannot play ignorant. Celestial church n others have been mocked for decades. There have been songs produced about them and on Nollywood films u n I have watched it. They are portrayed in a negative way and it is clear for every sane mind to understand the stereotype going on. My friend once refused to date a girl cos she attended a white garment church. Let's not claim to be unaware of injustices around us it does not dignify us sinaj: Op where did u get the stereotypical comments from because I haven't noticed or heard of these b4
Xo op I dunno where u got ur fact from  |

Can someone be bigger or higher than a Church? Is the church run by one person and he has the sole authority? thesicilian: They all claim to. But only God knows what goes on in the heart of man. And I sincerely believe that even if a corrupt pastor pastors a genuine young Christian, the young Christian will still go to heaven as long as he truly believes in God's word So to me your salvation depends on you, even though it tends to be influenced by some external factors sometimes. |

Did any pastor try to solve the problem between Chris and Anita oyakilhome? Would there have been anyone higher they could have taken the matter to with reference to Mathew 18:15~17. Is the law court supposed to be the first place to go for a Christian to resolve issues? |

I want to know, do all these pastors serve the same God? Apostle Paul visited and strengthen the Church. At the time there was one leadership and there was differentiation of doctrines and names of churches. Today we have different Churches that i do not know which is under which or which is together. Therefore, considering all these differences I want to ask if these pastors and bishops are in union with themselves. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It Right For A Woman To Head A Church? by makedisciples(op): 10:03am On Sep 13, 2016 |
I said after the coming of Jesus. As at the time Christianity started kolaish: CHRIST WAS NEVER AGAINST ANY WOMAN LEADING, SHE HAS NEVER REBUKED ANY WOMAN FOR PLAYING LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THE CHURCH. CHRIST MAY NOT WANT ANY CONTROVERSY TO TEAR APART HIS MINISTRY DUE TO JEWISH LAW THAT FORBIDS WOMAN TO LEAD, PROBABLY THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE REASON WHY THERE IS NO WOMAN IN HIS 12 DISCIPLES.
THE CRUCIAL POINTS ARE, HAS GOD EVER BEEN ANNOYED WITH A WOMAN BEING A PROPHET. Consider the following
1. MIRIAM
“Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them: ‘Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea’” (Exodus 15:20-21).
2. DEBORAH - was a prophetess and a judge in Israel
“At that time Deborah, a prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgment” (Judges 4:4-5).
3. Isaiah wife was a prophetess - Isaiah 8:3
4. Huldah was a prophetess - 2 Kings 22:14
5. Noadiah was a prophetess
“Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid” (Nehemiah 6:14). |
