That's why I like them. You are trained in military combat after high school. Not this nonsense NYSC we do here
There's nothing glamorous in forcing people to join the military. Some countries only do it because of their population and conflicts they are involved in. Israel has always had military conflicts. You cannot expect Nigeria with a high population and relatively peaceful except for internal conflict to be forcing people to take military training even usa doesn't do that.

not every thing you don't understand has to be demonic.
it happens to almost every one, it's just deja vu
I don't know why everyone is saying 'its just deja vu', like that explains it.

Is there a scientific explanation for deja vu?

Seeing the future regularly is not a normal thing, so you people should be trying to explain why and how it happens and not telling her the name they call it.

bennyann:
If the op should add another prophet to his, that would also make it two and I'm sure the prophecy would agree with the initial one. Which means the op's prophets would repel the prophecy of the mother's prophets.

It's not about numbers dear, neither is it about how many people are saying the same thing but it's about the truth. The best way to get the truth is to be our own prophet or to have a discerning spirit.

We really have to work on knowing God's will for ourselves. It's very very important especially in this era where there are lots of wolves disguised as shepherds. We must learn how to utilize the gift of the Holy Spirit and not let it be in vain.
You don't get my point. Am not talking about the right or wrong prophet. I just want to know how you can explain two separate prophets, who don't know each other, saying the same thing about the issue.
Christianity EtcRe: I Have Told Her To Go: Pls, I Am Guilty? by michaelwestern(m): 4:13pm On Sep 08, 2017
bennyann:
The truth is most of us who are Christians are not in the level we should be spiritually so we mostly need others like priests of old, to see and hear from God for us. Most of us are just too busy with unnecessary things so I wouldn't blame those who depend a lot on "prophets".

The solid foundation of my relationship with God is not dependent on going to church but on intentionally spending time with God when I'm alone and when no one's looking. Thanks to my mum who sparked up the fire from my babyhood grin
But how do you explain the fact that two different prophets saw the same thing?

Google is your friend, there are miracles like this in usa. Andrew wommack, an American preacher always gives testimony of his son being raised from the dead in a mortuary just like this.

I don't know where you people got the idea that miracles only happen in Africa. Kenneth Hagin, Andrew Wommack, John G Lake, Kathryn Kulman, Billy Graham are Americans that have numerous documented miracles performed in their ministries. Like I said earlier Google is your friend.
Christianity EtcRe: Do People Who Speak In Tongues Fake It Or Understand It? by michaelwestern(m): 8:55pm On Aug 21, 2017
NPComplete:
Bullfuckingshit. Obviously u have been reading your bible upsidedown. People who spoke in tongues in the bible were understood by other people speaking the language. It was a physical language. Keep speaking your rubbish shekeroboroboshikishaka and be calling it tongues. You can only deceive yourself. Clowns called modern Christians.
1Co 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

1Co 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself;

1Co 14:14 For if I pray in anunknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

There are times when speaking in tongues is just personal prayers to God through the Holy Spirit.

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holyfaith, praying in the Holy Ghost.

Vs 14! No man should leave his hair long like a woman's but should have it shaved. The covering is long hair or woman type of hair. It's shameful for a man to rock such grin
Please I will appreciate it if you can state in clear terms whether you believe a man should always shave his hair to skin before going to church.
Christianity EtcRe: 5 Reasons Why Having Faith Is So Important by michaelwestern(m): 7:42pm On Aug 21, 2017
Sermwell:
We are talking about the repients of the miracle! cool
Are you saying it is okay for one party to have faith and the other doesn't neccessarily need to have??
The most important thing is for faith to be involved, which ever party has the faith. But faith is most effective in healing when both parties have faith.
Christianity EtcRe: God is great by michaelwestern(op): 7:25pm On Aug 21, 2017
Topgainer:
Uncovered head is a shaved one, to skin most likely, for the woman it signifies humiliation, dishonour and maybe revolt over something. In the Igbo culture, women are subjected to that during mourning for late husbands.
Paul assertion is that the head should be covered and God made provision for that with the hair. Vs 15 of I Corin 11 answers your question. American Pentecostals gave the interpretation to that long time ago, away from the position of Orthodox/ Catholic That's right
and there shouldn't be debate about that because it is simple and plain.
When you see a woman inside the Church building shaved to skin without a covering or a man with his cap on his head except he has a long hair which is his dishonour, then you can make a simple case out of it. Whatever you chose make out of it, it is not part of the Hell requirements. That's no one goes to Hell because of it because it is just a tradition, among the very few recommended in the new testament.
But sir with this your explanation does it mean that every man has to shave to skin before going to church, because verse 4 says

"Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his own head."
Christianity EtcRe: God is great by michaelwestern(op): 7:14pm On Aug 21, 2017
An2elect2:
If she has long hair or a weave on, what's the need wearing a veil or head tie again. Isn't the hair already covering her head undecided
I just quoted that verse to show that paul was talking about physical hair.

How do you explain verse 5&6

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6  For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered."

Palado:
The word of God states clearly that women should respect and hear from their own husbands not any pastor.

A man marrying only one wife is a man who aspire for the office of a bishop and not the woman.

wrong teaching in the church..... may GOD have mercy on us all
Dude, if the pastor is preaching the word of God then she has to rate it above that of her husband. The word of God is supreme over the word of anybody.

hackwi:
when you read in context you will realize that spiritual authority was the discussion... a woman is to cover the authority over her. there is nothing like covering hair, it is covering head(authority)...
Thanks sir, but in verse 15 it mentions physical hair.

  "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering"
Christianity EtcRe: The Grace Message by michaelwestern(m): 6:46pm On Aug 21, 2017
Hmmm, you just managed to talk about a very controversial issue without clarifying your own stand. Am sure you know that there are many versions of the "grace message", so please let us know your own.

Then about balancing, I believe it is very important because some people do take the grace message as a licence to sin. So it is very important to always condemn sin even while preaching the grace message.

Then please, its off topic but if it applies to you, please comment on my thread

Believe you me that's exactly what Adeboye meant when he made that statement. It actually means that no woman comes close to his wife in any ramification. Bros truth is bitter but we need to chew it.
Why is your own interpretation of his statement right and other's own wrong?

oyewolestephen:
I think he had really made an unsentimental point here so you are the one that needs forgiveness from God for your irrelevant sentiment
An unsentimental person wont call daddy Adeboye a predator.

Calling him a predator already shows that he has a bias against him.

About the statement, daddy Adeboye didn't say that no woman is better than his wife. The person you're supporting made a personal interpretation of the statement but is refusing to accept the conclusion anybody else draws from the statement, that is sentiment.

You are also very stupid
I pray ur sister or daughter pass thru wat d girl is passing
goat
I reject it in the name of Jesus.

If you are a Christian then I wonder who you think will enforce this curses you are laying. Do you think God will punish my children because I offended you, only the devil can do that.

So that means you're sending the devil on errand and indirectly entering into partnership with him. The problem with this is that the devil will also use the opportunity to afflict you with the same curse.

So please be careful when placing curses on people, most times you end up short changing yourself. Peace.

Sorry for insulting you btw, I just had to.

If you are trying to support women, is his daughter not going to be a lady?

Why will you be cursing an innocent girl before she's born because of her father?

The father wants to use the walking stick on the other side, probably thinks there's life after dead in the other realm.

This is very shallow and shows that you have inferiority complex.

So only black people believe that there is life after deathhuh

Incase you don't know, there are billions of white Christians, Muslims and others who believe in life after death. And there are also Nigerians who don't believe in it.

Christianity EtcRe: The Catholic Faith: What You Need To Know by michaelwestern(m): 11:34pm On May 25, 2017
Werehkpe:
We need to stop abusing others who do not share our views. If you dont agree with Op's views, then just say so and support your view with Scriptural backing.

What I know is there is a reason why Catholics when praying say "Mary INTERCEDE for us" and "God have MERCY on us" From these two its quite evident who is being worshiped as a Supreme God and who is being respected.

Again we need to understand that the prayer said to d Virgin Mary is TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE BIBLE.

Lastly, I dont see y all these argument exists. Protestants pray directly to Jesus and He answers them. Catholics pray THROUGH MARY to Jesus and HE also answers them. So what is all the trouble about
Tell me how this is not praying directly to mary and show me which Scripture it was taken.

I can't count the number of times I've seen Catholics kneeling before an inage of mary and praying directly to her.

Is she omniscient like God to hear all those request made to her from all over the world?

Christianity EtcRe: Christian Life Is Very Difficult by michaelwestern(m): 4:05pm On May 24, 2017
Zither:
Lol. Like seriously? I believe agape love is a more accurate description of her expression.

Never listen to those who tell you tithing is not for Christians. They tell you that it was commanded in the Law but that we are no longer under the Law but Grace as a result of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross.

What they refuse to tell you is that it was in practice long before the Law was ever given. Melchizedek practiced it and guess what, Christ is a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

They don't tell you that the Ten Commandments - thou shalt not lie, kill, fight, covet thy neighbour's property, love your neighbour as yourself, etc are part of the Law but none will tell you they have been done away with through Grace. If that is so why did they do away with tithing - a universal command - but still observe the Ten Commandments? Because it was also included in the Law?

They will not tell you that even Christ Himself said "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God. So how does this apply to tithing? God said in His Word "The earth is Mine and the fullness thereof" "The gold and silver are Mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are Mine." Everything belongs to God. He commands we return ten percent of our earnings to Him because it belongs to Him. Not doing so is tantamount to robbing Him of what is rightfully His. Stealing is a crime that attracts punishment. However, obeying the command attracts blessings.

I am very glad you have determined to walk the narrow path. I suggest you read many Christian books to help you in your journey. The answer you seek may have been lived by someone else. Shalom.
What kind of tithing did melchidezek practice?

Did Abraham ever pay tithe from his own personal possessions?

You have no basis to use Abraham to justify tithing because he paid it only once and it wasn't even of his own personal possessions.

Should we also pay tithe once and forget about it?


Now about the law, tithing is not among the 10 commandments, it is with the other over 400 laws given to the isrealites.

Do you still obey this more than 400 laws listed in the old testament? Or you just made an exception for tithing? Do you even know all the laws listed in the old testament, or paying tithe is the only important one?


If tithe was so important, why didn't the early apostles collect tithe? Or you're more knowledgeable than them?

Then how do you explain this verses.

Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.

Note that it says all men.

1 Timothy 2:4

 4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

The Who here is God. So if according to you, the will of God in salvation supercedes our own. Then why is it that when God wants all men to be saved, all men are not saved?
