Christianity EtcPastors Are Wealthy, Many Members Are Poor : Is A Spiritual Error by paxonel(op): 6:56am On Nov 16, 2025
Some of these pastors do not have anything doing, but to flash their extravagant and flamboyant lifestyles on social media, making vain prophecies like "Since I'm not poor, you too you will never be poor in Jesus name "

And at the end, the person in question is still poor.

Nigerians! grin grin

Anyway, the point is whatever is happening is a function of what is on our minds as a people.

A scammer can only scam the vulnerable because the mind of the vulnerable is obscured.

Definitely, they can't try all these in a sane society and go scort free .

So, pastors now sensed that since he is already having this kind of mind-set, it will be easy to brainwash him further and exploit his money

Your spiritual state is a very bad one.
the highest you can do is to ask questions where you don't understand and i will further expanciate.

Let me ask you a question!
What do you benefit from the lies they tell you that you will be raptured?
Absolutely nothing.
Rather, it breeds corruption and injustice especially to you that believe such lies!

God created man and asked him to replenish this world which is natural.
This is the clear reason why you have to work and earn money for yourself.

Your rapture beliefs negates that, because you are telling the world that you are working in vain.

You can't go against nature and not being fooled
I really don't know how to help you.
you are the one that needs help here.

You are even fortunate to see someone telling you this truth.
Millions of Nigerians are out there falling victims of pastors of which you are one of them
You need to enrol in pre nursery school of the Spirit.
OK sir, I hear grin grin

Ken4Christ:
During resurrection, he rose from the dead, he didn't come
it was a prophecy that he will come at the time he came, died and resurrected. Isaiah 6:9
Please, use your brain. Jesus is coming back
Except you are referring to when Jesus is coming to judge the world which is another thing entirely different from Matthew 25:31.
Judgement happens all the time because people die everyday.

It is appointed once for men to die, after that the judgement.
and that verse of Scripture will be fulfilled.
The verse has nothing to do with judgement.
the verse has already been fulfilled 2000 years ago in preparation for judgement

Look at the following verse

Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

the sheep refers to Christians.
The goat refers to non Christians.

As far as God is concern, it is either you are a Christian or you are a non Christian

Prior to this time, there was nothing like Christianity.
The resurrection of Jesus has established Christianity which marks the separation
Christianity EtcRe: Inaccuracy In Religion The Greatest Tormentor Of Christians by paxonel(op): 3:59pm On Nov 15, 2025
May be you should go back to school to understand your basic literature and study figure of speeches.
Because, I keep saying that this bible is too difficult for you Africans to understand.
But meanwhile, Europeans with better education and thinking capacity who brought Christianity to Africa have understood it perfectly that's why their lives are better now
Dtruthspeaker:
Did you see Angels following Him when He resurrected?
you did not see Peter, James and John and other disciples following Christ even after he had resurrected?
And even after he had ascended, billions of Christians are still following him today?

What do you call that, are they not Angels?

Let me shock you incase you don't understand literal meaning of angels in Jesus parables

Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels

Do you see that?
Jesus interpreting his parable saying what he meant by angels are humans?

But you Africans after reading it will keep spiritualizing it without seeking the literal understanding

Una die wella grin
No wonder una dey pray tire, nothing dey happen.
Secondly, He resurrected did you see anywhere it Said "He Come"?
So Jesus did not Come and die and resurrect?

You better start practicing juju and leave Christianity alone.
You people are terribly confused grin
You are just looking for a place to hang your delu....
If you people are truly not the delu, how come your kind of Christianity is rejected in Europe such that you can't preach there?
Christianity EtcRe: Inaccuracy In Religion The Greatest Tormentor Of Christians by paxonel(op):
Ken4Christ:
You are actually the one in grave error. The verse is neither referring to Jesus resurrection
Really?

Do you realize that Jesus was about to be crucified at the time he made the statement in Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory...

And that he came into his glory in the form of his resurrection after he was crucified ?

Is it that you cannot think or you never read it, or you read it but you failed to see it accurately the way it is?
Christianity EtcInaccuracy In Religion The Greatest Tormentor Of Christians by paxonel(op): 6:23am On Nov 15, 2025
Lack of education or even incomplete education breeds inacuracy.

There are many instances the bible aimed at saying one thing, but the people are interpreting it to another thing entirely different.

For instance ,

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Christians today are still mistaking Jesus to say when he will come in his glory as when the rapture will take place someday in our future.
But meanwhile, the accurate intention Jesus had when he made that statement was WHEN HE WILL RESURRECT AFTER HE IS CRUCIFIED.

Religion is truly misleading people to believe errors, and at the end, their lives are miserable inspite all the church attendance and the deliverance conducted on them by their pastors

bixton:
Does it fall under military jurisdiction or civilian jurisdiction ?
ofcourse you know that any public issue a civilian has with any military officer, it is not his place to even start calling him a fool takless of taking him to a civilian court.
The least the civilian can do is to hand him over to the appropriate military authorities.
Do you know what will happen to that officer if he is brought before the civilian court if he is found wanting and his uniform removed?
That will only happen if his uniform is removed first

Why should the officer argue that the documents were valid? Was he the person who issued the documents? Is it not only a fool that will argue the validity of a documents that were neither issued to him no issued through him
We know that by chance the officer may be wrong.
We also know that it is possible that the land was legally acquired.
But whatever the case may be we are not interested.
What is concerned is, why didn't the FCT minister resolve the issue with the chief of naval staff directly rather than confronting a mere officer himself?
What was he thinking?

The answer is No!

Yet they are denying it affirmatively as if they have one local juju that is everywhere in Nigeria feeding them information.

Christianity EtcRe: The Lake Of Fire Is A Nightmare by paxonel(m): 6:39am On Nov 09, 2025
mauriceju2:
The Lake of Fire is a Nightmare

HELL IS REAL HELL IS REAL
Bible verses describe hell as a place of "everlasting fire" and "torment," including passages like Matthew 25:41 ("eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels"
understand that the Jews usually sacrifice animals by burning the carcase with fire.This is what Jesus meant by hell fire. The remaining fleshes that were not burnt properly were infected with worms.
Remember, this was the practice of the Jews for attornent of their sins.
It was never a price of Christians who existed from the book of Act of the apostles
Mark 9:48 ("where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched" and Revelation 21:8 ("the lake that burns with fire and sulfur".
where their worms does not die implies that their burning sacrifices continues even after the Messiah has come which they fail to recognize and believe in him
These verses depict hell as a place of unquenchable fire,
no!
This is a lie that the Europeans who brought Christianity to Africa told us.
We maintain the absolute right to reject it
weeping, gnashing of teeth, and eternal torment, serving as a consequence for sin and rebellion against God.
the other scripture that Jesus mentioned weeping and gnashing of teeth simply means the Jews will regrate because the promise of everlasting life was for them, but they rejected it. Which the gentiles who accepted Christ will live.
It has nothing to do with the fake hell fire propagated today
Key Verses and Descriptions
Matthew 25:41: Jesus describes the "eternal fire" prepared for the devil and his angels, into which the wicked are sent.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
The left hand side referred to the Jews because they refused to believe.
The right hand side referred to his disciples who later started christianitty in the book of act.

What is the significance?
It is telling us that Christianity is Jesus while Non Christianity is Satan.
And the angels of this Satan are the adherents of their religion.
These angels signify humans practicing religions order than Christianity.
They are not evil people.
Infact they are good people some of which are better than Christians themselves.
Their only offense is that they refuse to believe in Christ.
The consequence is that they do not have everlasting life.
Not that they will burn in one fire that do not exist in the real sense

There is anointing and it does happen in the midst of true Christians but most of you have turned against everything the Bible teaches because false prophets hurt you people.

Anointing is a sacred selection of Christ's corulers it was never done publicly even members of the church can't know those who are anointed because it's not done publicly!
People are talking about something important and you are bringing Jehovah witnesses. Who cares about them?

Christianity EtcRe: Top 10 Countries Where Christianity Is Dying The Fastest by paxonel(m): 3:42am On Nov 08, 2025
Arthurize:
Christianity is a way of life and it's more than religion, when someone starts attacking or killing you because of your way of life, I beleive there is every reason to be worried.
absolutely right
Yes the killings did not start today, but if you guys truly put ears on the ground, you will understand that some people see you the way they see a virus just because you are a Christian.
that's correct!
And two factors could be response for that :
1. The persecutors are just unreasonably envious and they just want to advance their religion by terrorism, eg Islamic fundamentalists
2. The persecutor may have sensed false teachings that do not correlate with the doctrines of Love thought by Jesus Christ, which some Christian churches are teaching their members and it has become a norm among the Christian society.
For instance, some Christians will say it is not my portion when you tell them that they will face the consequences of their wrong actions.

To them, it will just be as if you are telling them some kind of bad report and they will reject it vehemently.
You know, they are used to pastors in church telling them what they want to hear

They will even tell you boldly that Christ has died in advance for their sins and they cannot suffer the consequences of their actions.
Then some of them will embark on fraudulent activities.
Ignore constituted authorities,
Engage in other social devices that may be of negative impact to other people just to acquire wealth, yet keep saying things like BY FAITH MY CASE IS DIFFERENT.
Or some will even go to church to give testimony on how God loves them specially for achieving a certain feat that others could not achieve.

All these kind of attitudes attracts hatred and persecution by Non Christians of which, if they are persecuted, then they will start shouting PERSECUTION O!

And God will say to himself what are these ones doing?
You might not beleive me but I don't think everything is on what we know as the internet today.

On the other hand, why did you think President Trump decided to attack President Tinubu from the side of Christian genocide, some people said it is political, but I say whatever the reason, the fact that even Donald Trump saw the killing as too much means there is more than meets the eye don't you think?
I think so!

You know, there is no fire without smoke.
The truth is, those of us that lives in the southern part of Nigeria do not have a clue of the reality of the killings.
But there are GPS systems operated by NASA that track and store data of certain human activities at locations of interest.
Remember the Iranian nuclear programme, how it all got thwarted by Donald Trump which put an end to their war against israel?

Arthurize:
I am not trying to say that what you said is not correct but ask yourself one question, why are they killing Christians?
Perhaps out of envy!
Killing Christians has been there from inception and it did not change anything
Why are the westerners not going to church like Africans or their fore fathers?
was Christianity even meant for anyone to go to church in the first place?

Jesus said a time will come when no man go to the temple or mountain anymore. But those that worship God will worship in spirit and in truth
Please no attacks, I'm open to constructive arguements
I'm perfectly into that too

Those of us who are not a church goer, not Muslim, hate anything juju but we are just there. I can't help but to think what we are.

It's not like I don't believe in the spiritual or God, as a matter of fact I used to be one of the active children pastors in my time during children programs now look at me. I am just there, suddenly decided to stop following my parents to church at around age 12 and I blame them hugely for this. Because they on the other hand just let me be, they talked few Sundays morning and that's just it.

I wasn't forced more or whipped. If only they had really forced me maybe the direction my life is today would have been entirely different. I would have been an upcoming daddy G.0 by now living all righteous.

I don't feel that urge to go back now but one thing I realised was during that time I was living more happier and always joyful on Sunday, the feeling, atmosphere is different.
And there's this direction and focus you get when your a religious person than just being there like some of us are today.

budaatum:
True. With wisdom, which comes through knowledge, humans can miraculously replace dodgy hearts.

In fact, most know wisdom is much better. That's why they go to the doctor after their prayers for miracles have failed. Unfortunately, most waste time seeking miracles, and are too late to seek the advice of the wise.

For information, those who were told to rule and subdue and multiply and be blessed were told to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which Eve found was good for gaining wisdom. You can't rule and subdue and multiply and be blessed if you think that fruit will kill you.
You are very correct!

And by wisdom, fruit may not necessarily mean fruit in that context but it is symbolic. And it literal meaning is possibly a mystery to this day
