I beg you in the name of Jesus. Can you recommend this thread to the homepage. https://www.nairaland.com/2184390/11-signs-monster-pastor

To know the true christians>>>
Galatians 5:22-23(NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-
control. Against such things there is no
law.

Nicknames for monster pastors include:
dictator, authoritarian and control freak.
Biblically speaking, they may be false
teachers, greedy for selfish gain,
deceitful workmen and ravenous wolves.

They specialize in hijacking
congregations and then abusing their
power.
Monster pastors have little regard for the
sheep (or the Chief Shepherd for that
matter). Instead, their first priority is self,
masked by other agendas. Such pastors
may use pressure tactics, political
maneuvering, and/or persuasive speech
in order to manipulate a congregation
into acting on their behalf.

When they don't get their way, monster
pastors usually 1) move on to another
church, 2) cause a stir in their current
church and/or 3) blame the congregation for not following their lead. Simply put, monster pastors are building their own kingdom rather than Christ's kingdom.

THIS ARE THE 11 SIGN TO KNOW A MONSTER PASTOR>>>>

1. Are always right and never wrong.
2. Cannot accept criticism without
becoming defensive.
3. Are not willing to share the pulpit.
4. Do not support other ministries.
5. Overly use the personal pronoun, "I."
6. Resist accountability.
7. Feels threatened by former pastors.
8. Surround themselves with "yes men"
rather than edifying leaders.
9. Do not entrust ministry to other
leaders.
10. Undermine programs that they
cannot control.
11. Insist that everything in the church
run through them.

I tell you the truth,if your pastor are amoung this category,you should be very careful. Peace.

Binb:
so what exactly is the verse talking about since you claimed it is not talking about rape
Second question, what is the moral of the verses in the bible talking about inces.t (and they are many)

why don't you guys understand simple explanation? The verse was not talking about war, the context of that chapter is The Song of Deborah and Barak

oneda:
Malvisguy thanks for this beautiful explanation. I have nearly received blows trying to explain this same subject to grace only practitioners who say that Jesus cancelled the law therefore it is no longer applicable today.

I'll humbly request that we share ideas and grow more and more in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have PM you.

God bless you my brother.

No.. I do think I've a personal relationship with God. Obviously when I speak to him he doesn't reply but my relationship with God is based on my faith. I may not see him but I know in my heart and in my soul he's there.

In that Isaiah quote maybe he wasn't speaking of religion as a whole. Cause I know Muslims and Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists that has God in their heart 24/7. Their whole Aura screams God. I think that refers to hypocrites, who claim to love God with their mouths and otherwise... Dont really.

No I think, every religion is man reaching out to God. And God reaches back. Because that's what it should be. Even in Christianity. If youre sick or you need help, you will call on God to help you. And God will help you.

religion help to determined man holiness but not the holiness God required from us(which is to be perfect as him) ,we need the holiness of God to be perfect,religion can't help to reach the perfection God want in us, that is why we keep on sining,as woman claimed to have a relationship with God, the God will have to revealed himself to you.

Look at the life of adam and eve, they did not practice religion,they only had a relationship with God,but when adam sinned he lost everything, the bible God hate sin,just like a father will punished his children for wrong doing that how God punished adam and eve.

But to have this relationship back, you need to love God ,religion can't teach you how to love God.

Pr0ton:
Haha.. But infant salvation was included in the op, number 1 question for that matter.

ok. What is the different between infant salvation and thoes who have not herd the gospel? I believe there are similarities between them the ONLY difference is the age of reasoning which I explained in my earlier post. So I did not contradicts myself.

Pr0ton:
You contradicted yourself there. You said God will judge them (infants) based on their works, and later say God will not judge children that can't reason.

You forgot Rev 20:11-15 where the young and old receives judgement.

And if God should judge base on their works, then they are still going to hell because we are all sinners right from the time we were conceived.

no, you are not listening.
This is my post.
" your question was NOT about INFANT salvation .BUT the same thing apply to them, as long as they have not herd the gospel,God will judge them base on there work", this post is different from the op.the op is talking about thoes who died before they herd the gospel

DProDG:
Just wanna know...how old would an aborted fetus be in heaven? Will it remain a bunch of cells(which for some reasons pro-lifers call 'baby'), a toddler, a teen, an adult or an elderly man/woman.

deutoronumy29:29.the secrets thing belongs to God and the rest are reveal to us.....

The bible never adress this,but it gives us some important information about this;

Jeremiah wrote,
“I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart, I
appointed you as a prophet to the
nations” (Jer 1:5). David understood this
well as the Psalms declare, “You created
my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book” (Psalm 139:13-16).

Here is evidence that God sees us as a
human being before birth, that He knows us even as we are “woven together” in our mother’s womb, and that even prior to our being formed (unformed body), He considered us a viable human being.because God the God of justice,that's is nature, He will do justice to the aborted fetuses.God will continue to form them in heaven.

Pr0ton:
So consequently, and as you averred in your other posts, God will continue to show justice and therefore send little kids, those who didn't hear the gospel and the unable ones to hell, right?

your question was not about infant salvation.but the same thing apply to them, as long as they have not herd the gospel,God will judge them base on there work, and all the Children which have not enter the age of reasoning will not be judge.

Proton if you herd the gospel and rejected it but live a good life (which is impossible) you cannot be saved.

Pr0ton:
Funny enough, malvisguy212 didn't answer my question

But wait, you mean if I don't believe but live a good life I'm gonna be saved?

God will do justice because it is one of his nature,infacte hundreds of year before Jesus preach the gospel to is, this is what God say;

Deuteronomy 30:19
This day I call the heavens and the earth
as witnesses against you that I have set
before you LIFE and DEATH, blessings and
curses. Now choose life, so that you and
your children may live

Here,many years before christ come,God advice us to choose life,this indicate that man will have the knowledge of Good and evil, God will judge him according to his deed.

Note:this are my opinion,remembers I quote Deuteronomy 29:29:
The secret things belong to the Lord
our God, but the things revealed
belong to us and to our children
forever, that we may follow all the
words of this law.

Pr0ton:
Ok. Most Christians say that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of God", and it is "through this faith that one is saved by grace". In short, Paul explictly told a man in Act 16 that the only thing he needed to do in order to be saved was to "believe in the Lord Jesus", and that's the "gospel of salvation" they preach 1 Cor 15:1-4.

So since one "has to hear" this gospel, and then "have faith in it" to be saved, what will happen to:

- Kids that died before the age their brain could develop to comprehend the problem of sin and death and the way out. (Remember the Bible condemns all as sinners, even right from when we were zygote in our mother's womb, for "we were conceived in sin"

- The deaf, dumb and blind who didn't have d chance to hear or read the gospel.

- Those who were grown ups and healthy, but who the gospel didn't get to (our fore fathers, for examples) ?

"whosoever that don't BELIEVE has the wrath of God abiding on him"

Will your loving 'unrepentable' God send them to hell?

Deuteronomy 29:29:
The secret things belong to the Lord
our God, but the things revealed
belong to us and to our children
forever, that we may follow all the
words of this law.

This underlines the fact that there are
'secret things', that we do not know
everything we would like to, but it also
places squarely on our shoulders the
responsibility for acting according to the
knowledge that we do possess.

The Justice of God;
Amoung the nature of God is justice,God will do justice accordingly.Isaiah tells
us that 'the Lord is a God of justice'.
He is also 'the compassionate and
gracious God, slow to anger, abounding
in love and faithfulness'.God will do justice to every situation.

“He that believeth on him is not
condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned
ALREADY, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18,

You go to heaven because you believe in Jesus but you do not go to hell because you do not just believe but you are a sinner. Even if you did not herd the gospel but you have the knowledge of Good and evil, and you choose evil, it mean you are a sinner and you are going to hell.thank you.

YourMain:
No Dont worry I'm listening.

I think within every reglion lies guidelines to this life in a way. If there wasn't any religon then I can just kill someone in the hope that it will please God.

Religion, in a way, is God's rules to enter salvation. They mightn't make sense at times I think but some rules just don't

as a religious lady, have you ever had a personal relationship with God? Has God revealed himself to you? The reason so many people have not encounter God is because they show more emphasis on religion then to give God there heart.” In
fact that is exactly what He expresses
here in Isaiah 29:13, “ Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their HEART far from
me …”(Jesus quoted this passage in Matt. 15:8-9 adding “…in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men .”)
The word" commandment of men" mean religion men invented

Religion is man reachout for God but Christianity is the other way round, Abraham was a sherperd when God reachout for him, Moses was in the wilderness when God called him infacte when Samuel came to anoint David, David father even forgot he has a son named David cause David was in the wilderness when God reachout for him, and when Jesus come he say "they kingdom come" he bring the kingdom to us, all you have to do is accepts him.

When the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray, Jesus say when you want to pray say "OUR FATHER".... when you say" our father" it mean God is your father and you are his daughter, I am your brother and we are family, God is our father. That is how God will reveal himself to you(his daughter)

YourMain:
I Dont agree. God sets basic guidelines through all his Prophets. He asks us to love and obey and not to kill and not to lie. I think everything afterwards is about us and God.

Why do you think God didn't invent religion?

why will God created me and ask me to belong to a religion cult before I will be saved? Think my sister, this doesent make sense,

But relationship with God cannot be
found through religion. In fact, religion is the biggest roadblock to seeking a
relationship with God.

Religion is simply Man trying to reach out to God by doing something that he thinks will please God.
“If I can do enough, say enough, pray
enough, give enough, sacrifice enough
perhaps God will show me favor”. Every
religion is based upon this “works
theology”. Neither ceremony, liturgy,
creeds, sacraments nor money have ever brought one soul into a reconciled
relationship to God,do you think you can bribe God with your good deed? Bible say obedient is better than sacrifice, religion performed sacrifice but someone who has a relationship with God obey his father. I wish I can say more but I fear you may not read all my coment.
