Can you see all the comments above you ? None is insultive until you came up with yours.

saying that Nigerian pastors are scammers is not an insult
The people Pastor Omolehin is referring to, are respected men of God, old enough to be your father.[/quote]it doesn't change the fact that they are scammers

No body stops you from opening your own denomination where you can also scam your congregation.

that's the problem!
I should have government officials that are bold enough to stop me and everyone who perpetrate fraud of any kind.
It's not only the poor and down trodden that should be subjected to the law

Godmind2022:
Haba! Your sweeping generalization diminishes the point you are trying to make.

No, I did not generalise!
All the pastors are guilty of the same error and falacies!
All of them

That you have seen even 1000 fake church leaders is not enough to label all church leaders scammers.

All these pastors do not worth the attention!

If you have lived outside the country before, ask people about the stories they hear about Nigerian pastors, you will marvel

Mandesz:
Nobody cause your problems

point of correction, these pastors are problems to all Nigerians including you.

The scammers u mentioned never scammed u

lies!

They tell the whole church lies that miracles do happen by using fake people to tell fake testimonies. The people then expect miracle to happen but at the expense of their personal time and energy, tithe and offering.
Is that not scamming?

Let's say the truth !

People were nor even understand what spiritual war is, is talking about spiritual warfare.

Please, spiritual war is for instance, a Muslim hates a Christian because he is practicing Christianity, or a Christian hates a juju man because he is into African idolatry.

Spiritual war is not a fight against one spirit or witchcraft that is tormenting people and prevent them from succeeding in life.
Infact there is no such thing as witchcraft or spirit or juju power fighting against people's success.

Therefore spiritual warfare is not prayer

Don’t be deceived pls!

People who are married and they did not give birth, are single too. True or False?

WatchYourSix:
Some of the biggest and riches churches in the world are owned by non Africans… Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Joel Oesteem, and even Yonggi cho in South Korea where they Christianity isnt even Popular…so why do yall keep saying Nigerian churches are rich and big becos pastors lie and because juju is popular??
. The truth is Humans are drawn to the beleive of God…. Even before churches became a thing… its not an African thing

Exactly!
That's why today, Europeans and other developed Christian nations have understood these fact that people are drawn to myths natural.
So to avoid exploitation of the people, they create laws to regulate especially the financial activities of their pastors.

But here in Africa, we live in a lawless society.
And these pastors have taken advantage of our lawless society to exploit the people and enrich themselves.
That's why they hardly condemn politicans for exploiting the people too

Fiscus105:
Keep on having .... over men that have successfully in all ramifications,

I make money legitimately, let them go and make legitimate money too

instead for you to go to them or any other man of God for deliverance from shackles of 9enera-tio₦al pov@rty you find yourself keep on til evening.

don't allow them to deceive you o.
Non of them can deliver anybody.
Instead, they are the ones who need deliverance from people.

Now think about this,
If all their church members decides to be on their own without going to them, that means they are poor like that.
So they need people to deliver them from poverty.
It's true, I'm not lying

But me, i don't need anyone.
Infact, I am self employed and more than sufficient and very happy and free

The more you complaining the more their ministry flourishing.

its a lie!
It is not anyone's complain that makes them flourish.
They florish because most Nigerians believes in African myths thinking that miracles or juju or witchcraft exist. And that is why they are backward.

Come to Europe and see how pure Christianity is practiced.
No juju
No witchcraft
No ignorance
No exploitation
Pastors like civil servants have their financial activities regulated and there is accountability

This is an ideal society with minimal corruption

I have been saying it, all these men are scammers who exploits ignorance to emass wealth for themselves, while the vast majority of church members go home poor.

They are not working

God1000:
This Pope is doing the work of Christ by condemning leaders who wage wars and preaching peace, he's a peacemaker

No, that is not how to do the work of Christ.

Christ commanded Christians to be peacemakers and not to be confused people.

A terrorist group or regime who promotes and sponsors terrorism does not deserve peace unless they have a rethink

RhemaJet7:
Spiritual Fatherhood is very important.
As a believer, if you don't have a Father, you're running a risk, exposed to DANGER.
The type of Spiritual Coverings a Father provides, no one can provide it.

Below, is a scripture for Spiritual Fatherhood:

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,

encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

Shalom

OK, the role of a spiritual father is to confort and encourage members to live worthy of God. This is very good !

But what if the member is self sufficient such that he does not need confort and encouragement, shouldn't the spiritual father be happy about that?

What do a Christian need a spiritual father for? It's not necessary

P

Some people argue that being a Christian is by good works because the name CHRISTIANITY was obtained at Antioch where Christians were seen doing good works.
But the question i asked them was, before the event at Antioch, were they not people who believed in Christ, what will you call them?

So it doesn't matter what name you call our Faith in Christ. Because the Just shall live by his Faith, So long the Faith requires that we believe in Christ and obtain eternal life John 3:16

Yes, that is why scriptures affirmed that without Faith it is impossible to please God.

Every civilizations come with their own faith

Sanoske360:
No body is feeding me, l know my self more than anyone, do you know what it means to be highly intelligent when it comes to things above this world. Don't get me wrong am not perfect but I am highly intelligent 🧠🤓.

Ok

Sanoske360:
Logic doesn't mean perfection, am logical because of the Bible in my own way.

If you are a Christian go and read the book of ecclesiasties chapter 4 vs 2 to 3 then you will understand what I mean by the Dead are better than the living.

If am not logical l would have committed suicide because of that Bible verse, may God forgive me for someone committing suicide because of what l said about the Dead are better than the living because they are not logical.

Ok, the writer said it based on the evil that people do under the sun that he has seen.

So many evil have you seen that will warrant you saying that death is better?

They are feeding you now, you don't lack anything.

A whole civilization will be wiped out if they fail to come to the table of negotiation - Donald Trump


Hebrews 11:1 Now faith(Religion) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

This scripture alone has debunked the atheistic idea of non existence of God seeing that the evidence(Religion) is everywhere.

that aside,
Religion has always been in existence throughout the history of human cultures and traditions from the beginning.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God (Into Religion), and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

As a matter of fact, most human battles recorded in the bible were spiritual battles. For instance, one summarized figuratively by Daniel in his vision.

Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

due to these battles, one civilization comes and rule the world with it religion, it dies off with time, then another civilization springs up with it religion. This has always been the case until now.

Today, we have the old Persian Empire(Iran) who once ruled the world. (Daniel 11:2) and is currently threatened to death by Donald Trump

I wouldn't say when the bible talked about the on-set of the Christian religion, the United states of America and Donald Trump were mentioned.

The US is a civilation on it's own, though it may last for many centuries, but the only thing that will last forever according to Daniel's vision is Christianity, not any civilization that is attached to it.

Great power comes with great responsibility.
Great religion comes with eternal life. (John 3:16)

One love in Christ.
One love to the world

The church was meant to convey messages from God to the people, but instead, they are preventing the people from reaching God, at the other hand exploiting the people to enrich themselves.

Is that not so?

Sanoske360:
Maybe some, religion can not push me to commit suicide, l have strong knowledge of understanding and high level of intelligence when it comes to God and the Bible.

Am a logical person, it will be very difficult for me to commit suicide because of religion.

Not just difficult, it's impossible for me to commit suicide, the only thing that can come to my mind is l wish I was never born.

However my intelligence and knowledge is not enough to understand the things God did that doesn't make sense in terms of human understanding.

I believe no Christian can lecture me about the meaning of life that has no meaning, no Christian.

Isaiah 45 vs 7 l created the light and formed the darkness, l created good and evil, l the lord do all this things. It makes no sense.

when you start telling people that life has no meaning and death is better, some of them out of their circumstances may be pushed to go and commit suicide without you knowing.
How is that logical?

edogu:
In the Catholic Church, Reverend Sisters (women in consecrated religious life) serve through a combination of spiritual commitment, community life, and practical service. Their roles vary depending on the charism of their religious order, but generally include the following:

1. Prayer and Spiritual Service
Prayer is central to their vocation. Many sisters commit to daily prayer, communal worship, and personal meditation. Through intercession and spiritual guidance, they support the faith and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

2. Education
A large number of sisters work in schools as teachers, head teachers, or education administrators. They help shape moral, intellectual, and spiritual development in children and youths, especially in mission and underserved areas.

3. Health Care
Many sisters serve in hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centres as nurses, counsellors, administrators, or caregivers. Their work includes caring for the sick, the elderly, and vulnerable populations, often in areas with limited healthcare resources.

4. Social and Humanitarian Work
Reverend Sisters often support vulnerable groups such as orphans, widows, refugees, victims of violence, and people experiencing poverty. They may run orphanages, shelters, feeding programmes, skills-training centres, and advocacy programmes for justice and human dignity.

5. Pastoral and Evangelisation Work
They assist in parish life through catechesis, sacramental preparation, youth ministry, family counselling, and organising church activities. In rural or mission communities, sisters sometimes take on key pastoral responsibilities when priests are not regularly available.

6. Administration and Leadership
Within their congregations, sisters take on leadership roles such as community superior, principal of schools, hospital administrator, or director of social service centres. They also participate in decision-making processes in dioceses and religious institutions.

7. Living the Vows
Reverend Sisters publicly commit to the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. These vows guide their lifestyle and decisions, reflecting a life dedicated to service rather than personal accumulation.

In summary, Reverend Sisters serve as educators, caregivers, social workers, spiritual guides, and community builders, contributing significantly to church life and society at large.

Are they paid for these roles, if yes, what is their basic salary?

This is how religion can push somebody to go and commit suicide

Why are all these names look as if the names are repeated and there is no familiar name?

God is not interested in conflicts, fight your battle yourself and leave God alone.
you win you win, you lose you lose

You fight person were pass you, you collect

Op, you are absolutely correct!.
Another way one can look at it is,.
If a fellow human comes to say he is God, certainly no one will believe him. Because what humans will expect to see as a physical God is one malevolent giant whose head can touch the clouds and mighty feets crushing storey buildings, not a mere human being.

This is the reason why God himself in the form of a human will tell people that he is the son of God so that atleast, he will gain acceptance.
This is common sense

If you are not the one being brainwashed and a terrorist sympathizer. Was there anytime Venezuela president denied the accusation that they were into drug trade and stole resources from the Us as they were being accused?

If there is any such denial from Venezuela president, post it here.

Seun:
Believers,

I'm hungry for a debate. Let's discuss whether or not Christianity is the true religion, which is what it claims to be. What's your best evidence?

Let's have some fun!

1. Everyone are entitled to call whatever religion they adhere to, the true religion. Even atheism is a true religion to atheists.
2. But any religion with past documented events and prophecies. Eg Daniel's prophecies which was documented about 3408 BC, and the prophecies point towards today's reality. Such religion is the true religion.
3. Currently, there is no other religion that has this quality except Christianity
4. Certain Biblical accounts differs in some aspects because the various writers wrote the same event based on how they understood it differently. This alone shows the bible is true. Because in a class of study of a particular text, it explains why some people will carry first, while some second and others third and fourth.
It also explains variation. But the key message of these differences is passed across from one generation to another
