Nice write up ... buh come to think of it our flesh is the only physical thing here, your original being is the soul, d flesh is the reflection of your being I.e you are a soul yourself.
very true!
But can you see your soul with your five senses?
Only God who is a spirit can do that.
The same thing applies, only God can see witches and wizards if they truly exist. This explains why cameras cannot capture witches to obtain pictures or videos which may be used as evidence of their existence or have you ever come across any picture like that? Then post it here let's see.
Then if you say someone is a witch, what are the physical proves to show she is one?
Don't tell me because you are going through difficulties in life therefore you suspect she is manipulating your success. You must go beyond mere suspecting and bring a tangible physical evidence.
In as much as a sheep that rolls with d dog will definitely eat poop together n as far as I know about social interaction amongst pple , influence grows , mutiny is like a virus it spreads good. My point is still about witchcraft don’t forget it’s a spirit. You as a being let’s say A’s mum is a witch n gave birth to ABCD. There’s a high probability that one of ABCD will contract that witchcrafts spirit.
contract?
Is witchcraft virus that you can contract, i thought you say witches are spirits?

Even though virus are so tiny that we cannot see them, they can be viewed through a microscope. That means they are not spirits.
The point I’m trying to buttress here is there’s connection btw d physical n the spiritual. Paul said “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places right ! Now a question for you how can a physical body fight against a spiritual being?
for your info, Paul was not fighting a spiritual being.
Principalities were antichrists who perpertrated spiritual wickedness against Christians, these Antichrists were unbelievers of Christ who denied Christ and stood against Christianity.

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he(not spirit but a human) that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

hence they were called antichrists, meaning, anti-christianity.
These humans perpetrated spiritual wickedness by killing and persecuting Christians having obtain authority empowered by the rulers(government) to persecute Christians. Remember, Paul obtained power to persecute Christians at Damascus? Therefore Paul was a principality or Antichrist until he encountered Jesus on his way to Damascus. So principalities were never spiritual beings, rather they were mere humans.

I don't know where the witch is coming from?
My point is still that witchcraft is a spirit that possesses a soul“a man has a spirit n a soul in him” .
we were made to believe this by the society and the church but there are no evidence that any such thing exist.
jez like men of God have Holy Spirit, evil pple Av evil spirit too” witchcraft, sorcery
holy spirit isn't meant only for men of God,All Christians have it equally irrespective of whether you are a pastor or not.
There is difference between not having the holy spirit from having evil spirit.
Not having the holy spirit implies that the person is not a practicing Christian. E.g someone practicing Islam.
Having evil spirit implies that the person is mentally derailed whether he is a Christian or not.
even this whites they believe in tarot reading , Wetin u think say de help them get d reading ?
that's not true, whites are far more intelligent to believe the rubbish.
Even their kids want to see these things in movies because they know they are not real.
Witchcraft n sorcery, spirit of divination in Yoruba land they call them aworawo, ariran
that's how yorubas also believe that blood money is real grin

The end justifying the means is as simple as either you're in hell or heaven period
in that case you have missed your target in setting up the thread as the fear of hellfire or heaven cannot keep people from committing those immorality you mentioned.
Why not try educating people the physical consequences of those immoralities than threatening hell fire or heaven? For instance, you can say dancing unclad on Instagram or music videos can cause typhoid fever or HIV to people watching the video on phone

I actually like your belief bruh buh the fact is “a mad man sees what he sees “ I’ve seen what I call a terrestrial being before more like an angel . So from what we’ve been talking about I can say you don’t believe there are spiritual beings too! Well witchcraft is a spirit, a spirit can’t manifest physically it needs a host to exercise it might... about d tradition talk , Europe has its own tradition so does Africa, the difference now is Europe has evolved from it past therefore shedding away most of it core traditions while in Africa were fucking grounded in it n mind you those whites know what traditions are that’s why you see them they come n steal , buy, scam gullible traditional rulers here in Africa n take away ayilala, osanyin............. now I want you to answer a question , Do you believe there is a spiritual world ?
ofcourse there is a spiritual world. That is a world for the spirit while this world we are living is for physical things, matter.
There is no interaction between the spiritual world with the physical world anywhere except in our faith, not even in human body which is physical.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

You see the definite identity and mutual exclusivity between the two?
We are identified as flesh or body and nothing more.
The spirit is identified as spirit and nothing more.
Therefore It's not possible that the physical body will possess a spiritual or supernatural power especially now that there is education, wisdom and understanding among men today which is how God wanted us to be in the first place.

If that’s what you believe then so be it buh I’ll explain some shits to you, you believed what you read in dictionary right and on google but have you ever experienced it in real life ? Like I said don’t sleep on the bicycle man, b like say na London u de live abi.
my guy the only difference between Europe and the rest of the world with Africa is tradition.
Now let me explain in-depth, a sorcerer is a born magician I.e he was born with it , it’s his bloodline right ! Good , a witch or wizard is a normal human being born innocent but was initiated into it . If u ever listened well or ever cared to do a research, according to Yoruba knowledge, witchcraft can be passed / initiated into your kins specifically females yes , a mother must pass her power down to her daughter that’s why there are more witches than wizards on the other hand you can’t initiate a guy without him willing to join
I grow up among yorubas I understand everything about their villages. They are not different from other Nigerian tribes only that that they tend to be more fetish. And where i come from, we have very fetish people as well, but like I have said all the fetish things in all African tribes are all myths and nothing real about them.
All the witches, babalawo, orunmila, ayelala.
By the way, some foreigners came to steal ayelala in my village and inspite all the swear and rituals done to acertain those who did it, till today nothing happened.
They are accused old women and little children of witches but some of such children rehabilated and send to school by the government graduated with flying colors and are doing very well for themselves today.
do you even believe there are terrestrial beings ? I guess not ,
terrestrial beings like humans and animals, whether i believe they exist?
OK o grin
I wouldn’t believe either but o dare not after I met one . Pls don’t say witches are not real bruh coz they r ..don’t because of advancement in science n technology troway d fact. I would love to explain more
look, we are currently living in a world where humans are becoming very inquisitive. They want to know everything explained in details.
If you want to make people believe that witches exist write a story about them in vanguard and sun newspapers let channels broadcast a video showing a witch flying, that's the only way your story can hold ground.

May God protect us all
don't be scared!
There are nothing like witches or wizards they are all myths and not reality.
They are all tricks, no one human being have any supernatural power to harm or make you.

Google the meaning of witch or witchcraft or check it in English dictionary. It means magic or tricks performed by people BELIEVED to have supernatural power.
mark the word believed.
That means, anyone can believe anything even when they are not factual, and that kind of believe is common among illiterate people.

For instance, I can twist a group of cards on the table before you and throw one away without you suspecting, then i start telling you that i have supernatural power to make one of the cards disappear. You can easily believe me when you don't understand the trick or magic I'm displaying, why?
Because you were not educated enough about cards and tricks, At that point I'm a witch to you.

So, the witch of endor, that was what she did to deceive Saul and people of that time of primitivity. It is called soccery.

Christianity EtcRe: Concerning Tithes, Offerings, Firstfruits & Partnerships - Giving The Right Way by paxonel(m): 6:33am On Nov 10, 2019
unstoppable51:
In recent time, the subject and practice of “giving” has raised so much dust to prove that “giving is a very fundamental practice to the Christian faith.”

From tithes to offerings, to firstfruits and partnerships, the Bible never leaves us in the dark concerning how to go about giving in order to honour and glorify God with our resources and as well curb excesses or abuse.

What does the Bible especially the New Testament teach concerning Tithes, Offerings, Partnership etc? Is it still right to practice these things as believers in Christ?

In a bid to fight against manipulations on pulpits, most people have come out to say it is not right to practice one type of giving or the other in the New Testament. While it is true that the New Testament is not loud or is completely silent on different kinds of giving like Tithes, Firstfruits, etc, it is also true that there is no where the New Testament or the whole Bible expressly spoke against them.

What the authors of the New Testament actually took time to address in the epistles, is the motives behind everything we do today as believers - including giving.

“.…..whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31b

If you give whether Tithes, Offerings, Firstfruits, Seeds or even Partnerships because a preacher promised you an overnight multiplication of finances, you have just been scammed. You will get nothing out of it, seeing that you never really gave it to honour the Lord and to see His work prosper. You gave it out of greed to have your money doubled overnight. And God is no money doubler.

If you give to be seen and praised of men, have your name engraved on church walls and seats, that’s the only reward you will get out of it. Regardless of how much you gave. You must never give to impress any man.

Always be alert against manipulators on suits who use fear and threats to force you to give. They may come to you saying things like “if you don’t give you won’t get blessed. Your business will be cursed, your health attacked and you will go to hell.” Such are the messengers of Satan who are only after their own belly. Never give in to their threats.

“For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” (Rom 16:18)

The man in Christ is an already blessed being. He does not need to give in order to keep curses, destroyers and satanic attacks away from him. The blessings of God already bestowed on him ensures that.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Eph 1:3)

The man in Christ is to give as God has prospered him, bearing in mind that his giving or not giving will go a long way to affect the work of the Gospel, since it takes money to acquire and maintain things like public address systems, church buildings etc.

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (2Co 9:7-cool

A believer can purpose in his heart to give 10, 20, 30 or 90 percent of his resources on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. He has not sinned in any way regardless of the name that kind of giving is called in his local church in line with the Word. If it is done cheerfully without any form of manipulation, to honour the Lord and support His work, then there is a reward for it which the Lord Himself will give us.

So can believers still practice the giving of Tithes, Offerings, Partnerships etc in church today?
As long as the motives for such is in line with the scriptures(to honour the Lord, support ministers and fellow believers in the work of ministry) , there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

In our local church (Grace Word Assembly), we are perfectly fine with just the regular offerings and ministry partnerships that we give in our church branches. But that does not make us any better than other churches where people give more than that. Neither does this mean that if any member decides of his or her own will to give more than what we regularly give in church, we will reject it. No we won’t. As long as they have properly understood what the Bible truly teaches concerning giving, it is all good.

I hope this blesses you. Say “I choose to honour the Lord, with my resources. Through my giving, the work of the Gospel will prosper in my locality and all over the world. Glory to God!”

Why is a hope in the after life needed?
because to be alive is far better than to be dead.
we all will die someday, but not everyone will live again after they die, If i will have opportunity to live a again i better grab the opportunity.
Religion promotes belief in the unproven.
only faulty religion do that. The bible says study to show yourself approve.
It promotes mysticism.
example?
Sciences promotes belief in concepts with backing evidence.
so is religion.
Only that religion tend to explain the existence of a spirit God with tangible evidences and science could not.
So, science cannot take the role of religion neither can religion take the role of science, therefore both are needed.
Religion has outlived it's usefulness. Religion is not required in today's world.
if religion wasn't required i bet by now, after 2000 years religion would have faded away naturally because no one sensible is ready to keep believing in what is not useful.

Christianity EtcWhy Is Religion Important? by paxonel(op): 9:49am On Nov 09, 2019
Religion is the only connectivity between the spiritual and the physical, between God and man. That means, if you are not into religion no amount of science, philosophy and logic can prove the existence of God to you, only religion do.
The role of religion in human existence on earth is to make the mind conscious of God while he goes about with his day to day physical activities on earth.
For instance, Christianity is the kingdom of God already established on earth, It only exist in the minds of adherents of Christianity.
what has Christianity the kingdom of God offered to mankind?
It offers eternal life through Jesus Christ who is the giver of life and the spirit of God. But the fruit thereof is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, faithfulness, goodness, kindness, temperament, etc.
Now take note : the fruit of religion does not include religious practices like going to church, answerable to your pastor, pay tithe and other religious ordinances, therefore all these are never important in religion or importance of religion on earth.

In summary, religion is important in that it gives eternal life to mankind(as many who believes).
Religion also activate the fruits of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, kindness, etc which are truly the origin of every good things

Christianity EtcRe: How Are Human Souls Created At Conception? A Biblical Perspective. by paxonel(m): 4:58am On Nov 09, 2019
herakles:
I have pondered on this same thing without getting to a logical conclusion. Especially in relation with abortion; at what point does a mass of cells implanted in the uterus become a living soul? when does the soul become attached to the physical body that is developing in the womb huh It has baffled me for a long time, and I think it is one of the mysteries of life that man cannot explain or even begin to understand.

When a man dies, there are theories about when the soul departs the physical body; that is at the end, but the beginning of the interaction between the soul and the physical body is still a mystery
i have asked the same question too and by every logical sense, i think there is a default soul interaction with the body at the point of fertilization(also known as the point of salvation in the spiritual sense) where there is fusion of the male and female nuclei.
And we know the zygote so formed develops to the embryo implanted in the uterus.
Now, consider this scripture.

1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding[of her sin and being deceived by the devil] she(referring to Eve) shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in FAITH and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Saved in childbearing, IF THEY(plural term and not singular indicating the couple bearing the child as a family) CONTINUE IN FAITH

When people say salvation is personal i laugh, obviously they don't understand scriptures.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Are You All Complaining About Tithes? by paxonel(m):
ABCthings:
But there are priest and they need to be paid. They attend to you day and nights, Praying and interceding for you. Should they go hungry? Will few tubers of yam pay their children's school fees?
it's not about the payment.
It's about the attitude of receiving the money by pastors.
They quote Malachi saying if you don't pay then you are robbing God. This has caused fear of not being seen robbing God by church members by so doing they are compelled to pay on monthly bases 10% of their income which is wrong.

Now, you can give to pastors any amount you wish and I think that offering collection would have been enough to meet the needs of pastors and the affairs of the church, but certainly not tithing because you can't quote that because the Jews paid tithe therefore the gentiles should also pay, it is wrong.

Whether or not you pay your tithe, it doesn't stop him from protecting you.

Tithing and gambling are two different things, the risk involved in gambling, the uncertainty of the outcome, the odds are always in favor of the game house, can u compare this with tithing, its the duty of every christian to pay tithe. They are two different things man.
if it were the duty of Christians to pay tithe then there is no point comparing tithing with gambling.
But if it is not the duty of Christians to pay tithe then gambling is far better in the sense that people sometimes win in gambling, but in tithing, the only person winning always is the pastor collecting the tithe.

So, the question now is, how is tithing the duty of christians?
Christianity EtcRe: Is God Interested In Bet9ja by paxonel(m): 11:19pm On Nov 03, 2019
MhizVee:
are u tithing because u want to get something in return? It is more blessed to give than to receive, most times the reasons why we dont receive blessings from God is because we carry this "give me" relationship mentality, all man wants is to give and receive sharp, sharp, I think even if you want to receive as a result of tithing, you have to go through the long process of having to wait before receiving and patience is learnt in the waiting period.
and that will amount to God delaying in his promise of him opening the window of heaven and pour out a blessing that tithe payers cannot curtail?
Ofcourse the reason why people pay tithe is because they are expecting this down pour of blessings which should be very sudden and quickly as though God is provoked by their giving.
They want the returns to come down faster than any quick money doubling investment they can ever think of

Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Brother, l do not need to argue with you when it comes to God. He is a spirit and thus, the flesh has no understanding of the spiritual things. We perish for not lack of faith but for lack of knowledge. Go through this bible versions, pray for understanding before reading, to avoid reading the bible as a novel.
what do you mean by avoid reading bible as a novel?
If the bible wasn't written in a book how will you read it?
The essence of the bible written in a book is for us to read and understand it like the way we read our novels and text books to understand them.
Infact, the understanding is what matters.
Start with Galatians 5 : 13 to the end, Galatians 6: 14 - 16, Colossians 2: 20 - end, 3: 1- end, 2 Corinthians 4: 3- 12. Then lastly, read Phil 2: 12, Rev 2:7, and 1 john 2: 15 - 17. I have many more to give you but just digest these ones and get back to me.
hello,
You drop scriptures and ran away from them.
Pick one of these scriptures you dropped, quote it out here and analyse it let's see whether any of them support your claim.
Whether you believe it or not, most church goers are warriors in the flesh and weak in the spirit. No connection with their creator. Better go and read Matt 13: 1- 9, 18- 23, to know where you fall in. Evangelism is a work every Christian must do, as a price payment, it is not attributed to a section of people. No need going far with you, the heaviness of your flesh lacks the understanding of the word of God.
you are not serious.
When Satan quoted scriptures to tempt Jesus, he even quoted the scripture for Jesus and analyse it.
But you, you are just dropping scriptures and run away, Satan is even more serious than you grin

Principality and power as it applies to the situation at the time the bible was written refers to authorities like the government of the day who gave power to unbelievers to pesecute christians.
Ofcourse, Paul obtained power from the authorities to persecute and kill Christians at Damascus, therefore he was a principality who had power to kill until he encountered Christ.

So when the scripture says far above principality, it meant far above persecutors.
But when we read it today, we want to apply it to our today beliefs of spiritual demons. It doesn't work that way.

Please change your mindset.

I BELIEVE that you are from a church that teaches a very ONE SIDED GOSPEL.... listen, if such things are not real then what about Moses and those whose rods also changed to serpents...
that is what i ended up saying. We are greater than Moses or Elijah with all their miracles, we don't need their miracles anymore.
God allow Moses to carry out those miracles because of the covenant he had with Abraham for the Jews. But the moment Christ resurrected that covenant was terminated and the miracles were not needed anymore. Oya, go stand for sea try to divide it into two whether you will succeed if you think I'm lying.
see stop patronizing pastors that HYPE the gospel without giving you a clear BALANCED UNDERSTANDING.

The balance is this: OTHER THINGS EXISTS THAT CARRY SERIOUS POWER but these powers are beneath the one in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.
it's easy to talk like this but prove it na wahala grin
You simply do not know what POWER IS.

Listen and go and repent.

Jesus even acknowledged that other powers exist.
at the end he surmounted them such that their existence today is as if they never existed so what are we saying?
SAUL even went to consult a medium just to get access to spirits who assumed the form of SAMUEL.

A sorcerer tried to bribe peter to get power. (THE BIBLE NEVER CALLED HIM FAKE)
that one na past glory for the devil, past record.
When two apostles performed miracles in the NAME OF JESUS, even the unsaved people called them ZEUS and HERMES... they knew such powers were possible yet they didnt know God...
I agree that the apostles performed miracles. But they were allowed for this reason, to prove to the people that God was in support of Christianity at the time.
Today, do christianity still need all those miracles?
I don't think so.
we have evolved far beyond all that to something better
In the days of DANIEL, magicians existed.
past glory
The antichrist and the beast will have POWERS that are beyond what you may have watched in MOVIES...
Antichrist and the beast my foot.
This modern day that there is education, science and technology that Christians in Africa should harness and improve their world for better living today you are still talking about Antichrist?

Go and see all the transformation white people have done to their environment, where is the Antichrist?

You are the ignorant one here. 99.9% of Christians are still living under the bondages of sin and serving God in flesh, not in spirit. Yes, they are the ones that need the Gospel more than the others that you mentioned in your post. Many are walking corpses because their souls, which is the main man, are dead, though they are alive in the flesh. It is time to genuinely repent and work out your salvation in fear and trembling. Also, it is time for Christians to truly take up their rugged crosses and follow Christ. The kingdom of God is not rice and stew but only the overcomers will enter into the kingdom of God.
i wish you could quote just one scripture to support this your fake assertion.
On the contrary
I cor 15:54 says death has been swallowed in victory through Christ.

What causes death, is it not sin?
When the cause is defeated where is then the bondage you are talking about?

My friend, go and look for Muslims and preach to.
Leave Christians alone
