Kobojunkie: You can effectively manage it by working on putting up with it for as long as it has to be. You agreed to it, so unfortunately there is not much else you can do.

kunletiwoo: If the mystery of the kingdom is known and revealed to all Christians, then can you re-phrase the part that says: "[b]but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables[/b]" Oh! Going to church now means you are saved? Another Shallowness!

Of a truth;

akagaba: And u make me laugh, laughng seriously as u ar a walkin corpse. D curse u hav on u nw is worst than that of goliath. U ar d second to lucifer& ofcus u kno d deadly & dreaded heap of curse upon lucifer. U ar nw a partaker of dat curse and urs is evn a greater portion. It wil b beta 4u 2hang urslf on d fan and die off dan 2be alive. Infact, im no mo laughng at u bt cryin 4u, how pathetic u ar. Im sorry 4u. But u stl hav an oportunity 2repent. Thats al wat i can tel u. Once again, sori 4u.

kunletiwoo: Correction: Even if their souls were departed, does Spirit die?[/b]And if you say "yes" How come we that are alive commune with the Holy Spirit? Despite the fact that jesus isn't here on earth physically? We are talking about [b]spiritual beings here, and not carnal being.

No wonder the bible says:
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
Mark 4:10-12

Am so sorry bro!

kunletiwoo:
Where are you from ma brother? Abroard or In-broad? Let's start from there and exermine ourselves.

kunletiwoo: Don't get it wrong bro! Cos the bible say's

"To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the [i]s[/i]pirits of just men made perfect
Hebrews 12:22-24

Note: It's not all about the personality of the man of God, but his [b]s[/b]pirit which is beneath God's own [b]S[/b]pirit is what people make reference to.

Tolaaaaannni: I just couldn't help but disagree with you on this one, because the bible also talked about this. Even though I'm a

christian i can't help but bring this issue up because jesus also preached about jihad in



So its not just only islam that preaches about violence, christianity also did. The only difference is that there

aren't any psychos following this part of the bible.

Christianity and Islam are so similar, I don't know why people don't see it. Me personally, I think that we serve the same God, but that's just me talking.

Katsumoto: 1. How can you prove that the Christian God is not Allah?
2. Non- Yoruba Christians who speak Arabic must also be confused? Since only Muslims speak Arabic?
3. Can you point out where in the Bible it is mentioned that a Bride must wear white and that it symbolises getting married to the 'Lord'.
4. What is wrong in adopting practices that are not anti-thetic to your beliefs? Why is it wrong for Muslims to adopt a practice that is usually associated with xtians (your words nots mine)?

The only constant things in life are Death and Change. If change is not against your beliefs, then you should be ready to accept it. Try and get some education and enlightenment.

Olodostein: It struck your nerve and conscience; that is, if you have one. Your words could come back to haunt you.

You don't know how the world works. You are so quick to uphold morality.
Are people forced at gun point to take drugs ? It is their decision to be junkies and that keeps the drug market booming. Let America tackle the root cause of this menace to rid herself of increasing number of junkies.

How moral and just are you ? You self righteous ditch.

You went on wishing another human being dead even before he is brought to court. He was caught and hasn't been found guilty, yet, you people have begun to crucify him.

You call my comments useless because i do challenge your moral compass.

Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbours that all his pictures are crooked.

Make no judgement where you have no compassion.

I have begun to study your mental faculty on this forum. Because by the way in which you are in a haste to condemn, something tells me that you have a deep psychological scar or problem. Something like a Bipolar or obessesive compulsive disorder(sociopath) or that there is an electrolyte imbalance in your brain and body.

Nevertheless sha, i am still diagonizing you. Will get back with the result when it is done and you could be prescribed some meds.

obowunmi: So if everyone good thing comes from God why is that when you love a girl, things don't normally work out? If its "good" isn't it suppose to work out. I mean, I don't think that things are necessary black or white.

babypipsy: All things are good but not all things are beneficial, you don't have to try out a sister like before you know she's the one. God is interested in every aspect of our lives. Check out the life of David, even when the enemy seems easy to conquer, he always asks God; "should I go ahead? will you give me victory?". You don't have to approach a lady with "thus says the Lord" line. The things of the spirit is foolishness to the carnal man. He can not understand because they are spiritually discerned.

When Bishop Eddie Long was accused of sexual misconduct by former church members, his congregation rallied around him and his wife stood by his side. About a year later, the Atlanta megachurch pastor is headed for divorce and stepping away from the pulpit.
Long announced Sunday at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church that he needed a break from preaching to focus on his family. The hiatus leaves New Birth, which once boasted 25,000 members, at a crossroads, its reputation battered and membership dwindling. Their pasts inextricably linked for nearly a generation, both Long and his church face an uncertain future.

"A church is bigger than its pastor," said Goldie Taylor, who has attended New Birth in the past. "For too long, the New Birth family has acted as if it is smaller than its pastor. Its challenge going forward will be its ability to flip that and become a church without walls again."
For many members, Long has been the only pastor they have ever known. He became senior pastor in 1987, taking the helm of a flock of only a few hundred members. Not long after he arrived, the former Ford salesman and Honeywell executive dismissed New Birth's board of directors and took unilateral control of the church, ensuring that he would be the one to determine the date of his departure.
New Birth grew quickly under its charismatic, dynamic young leader, swelling to 8,000 members in five years. A decade later New Birth boasted 18,000 members and the church paid cash for the land and sprawling property it currently occupies in DeKalb County — including a 10,000-seat sanctuary. In addition to its Lithonia, Ga., headquarters, the church has satellites in several cities including Miami, Charlotte and Denver and television and international ministries.
Many who joined the church under Long's tenure were attracted to the prosperity gospel that he preached and practiced. It was a message that mirrored an emerging black middle class in and around Atlanta. Unlike the traditional Southern Baptist preacher, Long owned a $350,000 Bentley and private jet, lived in a $1.4 million house with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, adorned himself with diamond jewelry and read his sermons on an iPad.
Long's spiritual swagger inspired a loyal and protective congregation. In September 2010, when accusations swirled that he used his lavish lifestyle to seduce four young men into sexual relationships in exchange for cars, clothes and trips, New Birth members supported around their embattled leader, who vowed he was innocent and would fight the cases.

Long settled out of court eight months later for an undisclosed amount and has never admitted any wrongdoing. After that, some changed their opinion of him.
"Once the money was paid, it was like you're hiding something," said Donielle Marshall, who joined New Birth as a college student in 1999. "Did you lie to us? I look at him as just a common man, full of fault, but also a disgrace."

KaCey Venning said she left New Birth about a month after the allegations because she wanted a smaller church. She believes New Birth can get past its challenges "if they are able to stick together and not rally behind somebody in blind support."
"They need to focus getting back to their outreach, getting out in the community," Venning said. "If the focus is going to be around this particular person, if there's no New Birth without him ... there might be a problem."
Long's wife, Vanessa, filed for divorce last week after 21 years of marriage. The couple has three children and a fourth from Long's first marriage. In a statement released by the church, Vanessa Long said she may reconsider her decision to divorce, but her filing followed "attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me."

The Rev. Kenneth Samuel, who preceded Long, said the allegations hurt.
"With New Birth being as large and prevalent as it is, every church in the area has felt the impact," Samuel said. "And rightly so. I think there has to be a level of accountability. I think it's certainly possible for the church to carry on. My prayer is for growth and progress and to become more committed to open, honest dialogue and discussion."
Marshall said the church can be healed, but also thinks Long needs to step down permanently.
"All things can be renewed, but I think he needs to leave," she said. "Why continue to lead people when you are being dishonest? It shames the church, it shames the followers, and it shames him."
