They do but they don't practice it. There's a big difference between lighthouse churches and those other churches

What are some things that the Christians in lighthouse church does that others don't do? Are there differences in the biblical doctrines of lighthouse church and other churches?

Padipadi:
They do. I could v mentioned many churches but you ll relate scandals to them. I m aware of your wittiness so I had to give you a church name I can recall that's of little or no scandal cos that's what you ll capitalize upon.
Nevertheless, in truth, the body of Christ that preaches and practice in truth ll be known by their individual members.

Ok then....but if you last statement is true, it therefore means that all church leads to christ. Because is there any church that does not have an individual member that is a good Christian?

Padipadi:
Churches, Christians that try as much to stay out of scandal. Have you heard about Daystar Christian Fellowship? Headed by Pastor Sam Adeyemi.
You sef know say a good Christian is a definition of good life.

I love the fact that you mentioned a church name. So what about all other churches around, Do they not produce good Christians too?

Rostikol:
Their soul or consciousness or whatever you want to call it.

We are all immortal souls temporarily occupying a human body. Your body is not you. It’s a spacesuit. Literally. What we call death is just a shedding of the spacesuit to return home. Your Consciousness and awareness remain very much active after you ‘die’.

You do not lose consciousness!

This is a natural process that applies to everyone irrespective of their religious beliefs.

So are you saying that the bible says that the soul does not die?

Watinhapen:
This is why I don’t like one man’s church. A pastor can’t try this sought if thing in big churches like Winners. Most one man’s churches are simply business centers.

is winners church not a one man church? For what reasons do you conclude so? Who is the founder of winners church?

Saig:
Bro Locate the Church of Christ nearest you for worship. No tithes, no manipulation, no compulsion in giving. You give as you purport in your heart to give. That's what the Bible says.
Get baptized for forgiveness of your sins (Acts 2:37-38; 22:16). Live a Christian life. That's all.

Find the Church of Christ

So do you mean that all other church that does the things you listed above are not the true church?

The Bible came into existence through inspiration, revelation, illumination, audible voice, angels, prophets, visions, dreams and still small voice from God Almighty and nature..

About 40 different authors wrote the Bible of 66 books in different locations over a period of more than one thousand years.

Some of these authors never saw the writings of one another yet there is a wonderful unity, agreement and conformity with their writings.

How can you preserve a book for more than 1,000 years?
It can only be God.
God has hands in it.
Till tomorrow, the Bible is still under attacks, scrutiny, twisting, misapplication and misinterpreted.
They sought in vain to destroy the Bible but it stood like an unmovable Rock

The Bible is good for the soul. It nourishes, encourages, heals, transforms and fits the soul as key to a lock.

The Bible has power. The power to destroy the deception of the wicked old man, the devil.
Quote the Bible and see how the wicked will flee.

The Bible is a spirit. It gives life to people.

A world without Bible is like a Sodom and Gomorrah, ready for destruction.

( To be continued)

So when I die on earth, what part of my body will leave the earth?

Maobichek:
Orthodox Churches like Anglican, Methodist etc are not one-man Church.

Ok....if these churches are not a one man church, do they teach the same biblical doctrines? If no, why?

HoneySwag:
I'll advise you locate a lighthouse church around you, though there are very few in the country. You could also google search the summit lighthouse and follow their teachings.
Lighthouse churches will help you discover the true reality of God's existence.
Like my commander in our temple will always say "God doesn't need your money". He also tells us that there's no seed you can sow that will shake heaven as these false preachers use such statement to deceive people. Heaven cannot be moved by material things.
Ever since I joined this church, I've come to believe that truly there is God.

What about other churches around, don't they teach the truth about God?

Jokerman:
The New Testament (Brit Hadasha) speaks often about this being the last days. If the Apostles lived in the last days and we claim to still be living in the last days, then what in the world are the last days, and how long does the "last days" last?

God did His creating of this world and all that is within it in 6 days. On the 7th day He rested from all of His creative works. In Hebrew eschatology there are 6 days of man and the 7th day is the final day of Messiah and His Kingdom.

The Scriptures record that "a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day".

(2 Peter 3:8, Psalm 90:4) With this in mind there will be 6000 days of man and then 1000 years of a Messianic Kingdom.

Messiah was born and lived during the 4th day, or during the 4000 year period after creation. The 5th and 6th days, 5000 and 6000 years after creation, represent the 5th and the 6th day, or the "last days". After this will come the 7th and final day of this age, or 7000 years after creation, in which Messiah will return and usher in His utopian Kingdom.We know that there have been over 2000 years since the birth of Messiah. There has not been quite 2000 years since His ministry/crucifixion and resurrection. While we don't know exactly when He will return, we should be able to see that we are living in the 11th hour.

The last days are definitely drawing to a close.

Where does the bible teach that the world and everything in it was created within six 24-hour days?

MightySparrow:
Heb.12.23 - To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
I belong to every church that is part of general assembly.

Matt.13.30 - Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
I am no better farmer than Jesus who will do the separation àt the end of time.

Who made you a judge over the church of Christ which He purchased by his blood?

So are you saying all churches now are good and that we have to wait to the judgement day before we know the right or the bad one?

MrPresident1:
There is no such thing as a disappearing rapture

The rapture is the rapturous joy that we all shall experience at the coming of Jesus Christ

If all good people rapture from the earth, wh t becomes of the earth?

Plus1234:
Please don’t go hell, your soul is too precious to burn forever.

If the soul goes to hell, what about the spirit?

ayomidefavour:
Nigeria will be Alright;

Please let us have some hope even if it might not be easy

What about people in other countries.....should Christians not be worried about them too?

Padipadi:
He was never a real pastor. No use dz one wash churches. There are millions of good Churches.

Examples of good churches please...

Templee333:
i'm not for argument, you are free to explain your God anyhow you know.

Oh ok....now I get....God is anything we can imagine. You should have made it clear that you were just imagining.

MightySparrow:
Which of these churches didn't start as a one - man church? Someone's vision developed over years. Who knows what any of the small churches in an open field can become tomorrow: RCCG, Deeper Life, Winners, JWs, AG, Foursquare....

Ok....So How do you think one can know the truth about the bible? What church do you even attend?

franktolk:
Yes, you have the Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, ECWA, Catholic, Apostolic faith, CAC, Foursquare, Presbyterian, and many more.

Not al these business ventures littering every nook and cranny.

Mind you, I'm not saying all "one man churches" are business ventures but you just have to be extra careful, rightly dividing the word of truth when dealing with them as they are good at manipulating people's minds.

Now do all these churches teach the same doctrines from the bible? If No, why?

Focus: Certainty of Life

The word for today
Many things in life will remain uncertain but in everything we do or achieve in life we must never forget that we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1Timothy 6:7 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though it is not certain what you will get out of life and no one actually promised us tomorrow; the fact remains that death is certain and when it comes we will take nothing out of the world in the manner we came naked.

We have seen men who had several lands and estates but were not even given a small portion of land for burial. Some children resolved not to bury their dead mother or father in the premises of the house he/she built because it would devalue the value of the house either for rent or sale.

When a man dies, he becomes a liability. All that he has will be shared among people who know or feel nothing about his labour. Hence, be mindful of the words of Christ which says: do not worry about life but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness(Matt 6:25-33). Serve God with whatever you have, lay your treasure in heaven, and make an impact on the lives of men. This is the best way to live.

What are you labouring for?

Lord! Help me to live a purposeful life in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
It is only the treasure you can transfer to heaven that is truly your own!

Have a Purposeful Week Ahead!

When a man dies, what part of him goes to heaven?

bobestman:
Only spiritual ppl/spirit exists in the place they tell you is heaven. The heaven we mortals seek is the one on earth. It is a paradise restored. This our world will be purged off evil by fire to get a brand new earth which is the heaven. It is a world without evil. The heaven you described is the daily life of the spirits that exists there. Many their will take up bodies to come to earth for as we can't go to heaven with our bodies they too can't descend without a body. As spirits can't live here we too can't live there. God will bring his presence to earth. The bible say that the tabernacle of God shall be with men. Many of them will come here with a body. You are not flying to anywhere. Even as we speak many angels are here in a body. To qualify you must be of the Wheats not the Tares. Christians don't know what they are teaching. We will live as we are living today in the restored earth/heaven but in a righteous way

Does the tabernacle of God been with men suggest that angels will come to earth to live? If yes, please show me where in the bible.

Rostikol:
This is because your idea of heaven comes from the bible.

Heaven is filled with multiple enjoyment, activities, and trillions and trillions of happy people.

This is straight from those who have been to the Other Side, ie near-death experiencers.

They say that there are NO HUMAN WORDS to describe the level of enjoyment in heaven.

In heaven you can imagine an entire city made of gold, with you as the king. And it materialises before you.

With your THOUGHT, you can create anything.

When you get to heaven, you will wonder how you managed to survive a life on Earth with all the troubles here.

You will understand why it is foolish to focus solely on material wealth as a human.

You will see that material wealth means nothing. The most expensive house in Beverley Hills is like a mud hut compared to what you can create for yourself in heaven, simply by thinking about it.

In heaven there are vast cities filled with palaces of all kinds, and of huge size, small, medium, etc built by people simply by the power of THOUGHT.

PERFECT CITIES filled with TRILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN EACH CITY.

The Earth's population is 7 billion.

Can you imagine a city with 5 trillion people, everyone living in total happiness?

THAT'S HEAVEN FOR YOU.

There are MANY COLOURS that exist in heaven that are unknown to us on Earth.

Communication with others is by telepathy.

No need to talk.

No need to get in a car or plane to travel. You wish to speak to a friend, and he appears before you.

You want to dim the light in your room, think about it and it dims.

Is your room too small? Think how much bigger you want it to be, and it increases in size immediately.

If you miss your human life, you can create a replica earth scene with other souls there, BY THOUGHT. An environment complete with your SUVs racing on a road to some city to party or do some clubbing.

Time as we know it is very different in heaven.

There, you can go forwards and backwards in time.

You can even stand still in time.

YOU control time as it relates to you. There is no general 'time' that applies to everyone.

It's a very different place from Earth.

The laws of physics are totally different there.

YOU get to decide how the laws apply to you. For instance if you want to be subject to gravity and walk on the ground, you can do that.

If you don't want to be subject to gravity and prefer to fly around instead, you can do that.

If you don't wish to appear physically, you can transform into a small ball of Light, travelling around as you wish.

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE IN HEAVEN.

On what basis in the bible, do you believe the testimony of some people who said they experienced heaven and came back? What part of their body went to heaven to experience it?

Wujio:
I pity you. Pray this prayer, say Father give me personal supernatural visions of hell. Go there for three minutes and if you dont almost run mad, call me a fool.

What exactly goes to hell when a person dies?

franktolk:
If it's one of the "one man churches", it's now time for you to make a decision to stay or to look for another church to worship. The Bible says ". ..by their fruits you shall know them"

Do you know any church that is not a one man church?

Donkogbe:
Something happened in my church yesterday and its so strange to me.

Yesterday was the youth anniversary so the youth president has been soliciting for funds and yes people complied and myself also. it was time for thanksgiving and all youth danced to the altar then the pastor openly reject the money contributed by the youth to the amount of 50k in the sense that its too small and also making reference to 2years ago when the youth as at that time bought the church drum set to the amount of 250k. he rejected the money and prayed for us.

This is has been disturbing my mind since yesterday and i am just wondering how a pastor will openly reject amount contributed by people.

note this is not mandatory donations and a man of God reject 50k in this economy of Tinubu? i am just having a mix feelings and its disturbing. what your view on this

It's clearly means that your pastor does not have a balanced view of money. He is clearly displaying greed even though he may know that God appreciates whatever contributions a Christian donate as far as it is coming from the heart( Mark 12:42-44). The bible says that Christians should donate willingly and not under compulsion.(2 corinthians 9:7). Please compare the teachings of the bible and his character and be resolved to make a decision.
