Christianity EtcRe: Evangelist Who Was Blasted For Preaching At 4am Gets ₦1M From Good Samaritan by paxonel(m):
Arostar2023:
The preaching of the gospel is the power of God to save. What we need is more wisdom and demonstration of God's power and grace in our preachings.
certainly!
You are right
I guess, if a preacher doing "morning cry" prophecies or perform a miracle concerning something troubling one of his listeners. He will be more widely accepted and won't be considered a nuisance.
Well !
Even if you preach without showing signs and wonders and you get someone converted, it's still very much ok.
Atleast you have achieve your aim, which is to convert someone to Christ.
There's aparthy to the things of God in the developed Western world because of the lack of preaching of the word of God.
No!

Do you remember a scripture that says The earth is the Lords and it fulness thereof?

It's about the mind-set.
These guys in the western world are so intelligent to understand that the earth as a whole is the thing of God
[
And if you noticed, their society is gradually going "corrupt" and that ultimately will lead to the death of their civilization - if Christ tarries
Are you sure? grin

But global corruption index is showing African countries including Nigeria were church enthusiasm is the most, is among the highly corrupt countries, do you agree?.
It's a fallacy to think that everyone in the so called Christian south is saved. That's far from the truth
when you say saved, can you please explain what it means.
Because, i think this is where the problem is coming from
I believe in decency and respect for others. You just shouldn't inconvenience people, all the time in order to reach them with the gospel. But sometimes, you must.
what you preach to people should be like a curriculum and source of enlightenment.
But most times, it isn't so.
As for me, I guess I wasn't as rooted in Christ as I thought I was then. I got frustrated with things and took a break from street evangelism. And that was a huge mistake... cry
if you had truly understood what you were preaching, you would have been so inspired to preach like Paul in the bible was inspired.

But unfortunately, a system of doctrine that is hiding the truth in the bible was created and handed over to Africans as carry over, a long time ago .
So, our society today is now reaping the consequences

CoolJason:
I accept the correction Paxel, much appreciated but the choice of word about "SCAMMING PEOPLE" , i'm not sure that a right choice of word, you know? wink
Accept my sincere apology for using improper terms, I understand that it is improper to use words like scamming to describe activities of people who really are not aware that their suppose goodwill system of church activities/ministering to people are subconsciously exploitative. Ie, even pastors are not seeing anything fraudulent in what they do.
But whether they are aware that the system is faulty or not, it is what it is, if one takes a critical look at it without being bias.

And i wouldn't blame any modern day pastor for the faulty system because, it seems the error was a dogmatic carry over doctrines of the medieval era of Christianity into this modern day without religious scholars being aware of it .
But certainly, they can be corrected.

CoolJason:
a life without christ is always full of crisis!
Living immoral life is not the same as a life without Christ, and a life with Christ does not implies a moral life.

There are people living in Christ that are living terribly in crises, it does not change the fact that they are in Christ. and there are even Muslims whose lives are not in Christ that are doing very well without crises.

So stop scamming people.
Christianity EtcRe: Dj Cuppy Is Born Again Now! by paxonel(m): 7:58am On Aug 24, 2024
She is confuse cry

Those religious people, they will start scamming her big time.

The scamming in Nigeria is worst, and she thinks if she escape Nigerian churches abroad will not scam her ?

If she is sincere to herself she was baptized from childhood, a long time ago which is adequate.
therefore she does not need all these

Maybe. But for sure, she is going to buy a bigger and better megaphone
waste of resources and effort she would have used to establish herself and live better, it's her problem though cheesy
...una must repent grin.
repent of wetin?
Does she even know the meaning of the word repent?
She for go learn first, before she go dey talk, Paul in the bible says study to show yourself approved.
She won preach but she nor won know cheesy
I used to do this some years back.
so wetin happen, why you stop?
You don't know the satisfaction one gets in preaching the good-news.
I wish you people were preaching to win souls for Christ and you have atleast one Muslim converted into Christianity, that is when you can be talking about satisfaction.
But a situation where you go dey disturb fellow Christians for a community that is full of Christians already, is that not a misplaced priority, abi you nor read for bible say Paul dey do him preaching for inside synagogue(religious gathering of Judaism) come convert people into Christianity,when una go enter mosque ?
Since we have religious liberty here, it's isn't a bad idea to inconvenience some folks in order to save their soul.
em!
Make una go up north now go inconvenience souls make we know wether na bad idea or not.
Na when una see fellow peaceful Christians for south na una dey fit shout for loud speaker? grin

As much as I'm not Tinubu supporter, I will tell you this politely

My guy, say you are stupid

PoliticsRe: NNPC Replies Atiku Abubakar, Explains Acquisition Of OVH by paxonel(m): 7:27am On Aug 23, 2024
weyreypey:
NNPCL bought OVH from Nueoil Energy Limited a month after Nueoil Energy acquired OVH in September 2022.

Two months ago, NNPC Retail, OVH, and Nueoil jointly filed a petition at the Federal High Court in Lagos, seeking eight orders, including the dissolution of NNPC Retail and Nueoil without being wound up and the transfer of their assets to OVH Energy Marketing Limited. Justice C.J. Aneke granted all eight orders, making the merger effective from 1 January 2024.
Meanwhile NUEOIL was incorporated when March 2022? And dissolved when?
So, was NNPC retail dissolved in 1 January 2024 by the court to uphold OVH as the main name for merger?
Christianity EtcRe: The Bible Says There Will Be Two Resurrections- Where Does The Rapture Come In? by paxonel(m): 2:53pm On Aug 22, 2024
obonujoker:
“Two great resurrections await the inhabitants of the earth: one is the first resurrection, the resurrection of life, the resurrection of the just; the other is the second resurrection, the resurrection of damnation, the resurrection of the unjust.

John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Now what is the resurrection into life?

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The resurrection of the unjust or wicked

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Timeline of these resurrections

1. First resurrection occurs before the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ

2. Second resurrection occurs after the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ.

See what is said of the first resurrection 👇

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

So My Question is this, when exactly is the Rapture of the saint supposed to happen?

because Rapture means resurrection of the dead believers and undead believers to meet with Jesus Christ when He comes to take the saint.
Rapure is scam.
There is no such thing in the bible

There is nothing like second resurrection.
The only resurrection is the resurrection of believers in Christ.

When unbelievers of Christ die, there is nothing like resurrection for them.
The bible says whosever do not believe is condemned already.
Christianity EtcRe: An Eck Master Helps A Deceased Christian Meet Jesus After 'death' by paxonel(m): 2:31am On Aug 22, 2024
chieveboy:
Dying for many holds a lot of uncertainty; and a lot is left to guesses, assumptions and belief. Do we really "die" and is God going to burn people up?

This uncertainty as you must have seen happens to be an open invitation for many to rule the heads of many often through fear. Fear causes one to quickly 'lose guard' and leads to a submission...

These uncertainties are not necessary because man himself by default has the capability to extend his consciousness or awareness to those parts of himself which doubles as God or Heaven to see and experience heaven here and now and report to his fellow folks in the village about where their deceased uncle is and what he is doing or thinks. Heaven is not far off, its here and now all the while, and its not every religion that wants people to find about this because it will "cast" as we say in Nigeria...ala Pastor Abel Damina vs The Others...

This feat or process of the extension of awareness to locales is what in other climes is referred to as 'Eckankar'-The science of Soul Travel. It has many other names even in the mainstream scientific community.

It's ultimate purpose however is Self-realization (knowing your true self as spirit) and then God-realization ultimately. When this happens, never are you in doubt anymore of God's love for Soul (The real self), and you now KNOW and not believe. You become a mature Son of God.

The below video may or may not be useful for you regarding the possibilities that awaits those who Translate (died). In any case, I am just posting for posting sake, so you're welcome. Enjoy.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00NAzhqirHg
Three questions for you :

1. Is Eckankar and occult group like Ogboni and Amok?
I used to hear
2. Do you believe in the Christian bible?
3. If you do believe it the bible, Can you briefly describe the science of soul travel you mentioned in your post using a biblical evidence?

Thanks

The purpose of the gathering or congregating of the church back then in the time of the apostles was for encouraging one another and showing support to those who were needy.

Todays church is the total opposite.

It's not that they don't know.
It's just that they are all benefitting from the faulty system. So naturally, anything that tend to change the system they will fight it with their last blood

So are you saying that the solution to stop pastors from extorting that members is to stop Christian gatherings all together?
The solution is to teach them the truth and set them free.

I will say this,
Every Sunday, they keep making prayers for financial success and healing.
The next Sunday, they will say the same prayer.
Another Sunday the same thing..

And i ask myself, when will church members get the financial success and healing so that all these repeated prayers will stop?

Meanwhile, each Sunday they are paying.
Are they truly getting what they are paying for?

What does worship entail in other denomination?
Catholic through out history, started taking advantage of gathering to exploit people, that's why the likes of Martin Luther King jnr revolted.

They are still exploiting till now

So are you saying that Christians should not meet together to worship anymore?
No!

I wish that the truth about this should be told in the meetings so that people will know that there are alternative means of worship order than gathering, so that they will be free from the grip of religion.

But, which pastor today is ready to say this truth to their members seeing that they are cashing out from their ignorance and life is sweet?

Churches today have abused the essence of gathering by exploiting members unnecessarily

They have tried all manner of things to follow me up mostly to find out reasons why I shun the gathering, but of no vail grin

Then is asked him, do you understand anything from the one you have been doing?
He said no.

How did Paul become a minister of the good news?
Note that we are not living in Pauls era anymore, times have change.

In this era, people are so intelligent that they care more about your ability to practice what you preach.
They want to see you living the life so that they can emulate you to become believers rather than mere preaching it.
Please go & study the conversion of Paul in Acts chapter 9 and solve your confusion.
no correlation with what I'm saying with Acts 9.

What I'm saying is, our lives as Christians is what matters most than religious practices.
