Christianity Etc › Re: Tithes Is Overrated by petra1(m): 4:32pm On Feb 21, 2017

onyeezeigbo:
So because you didn't pay your tithes in church God won't bless you again,,

I'm not saying paying tithes is bad as a Christian but rather it should be on your personal choice or interest.

Where did the Bible say so?

if you ask me,I will say there are many ways to give back to God,go to the orphanage and hospitals and

You're right but wrong . There are different ways to give to God yes, but you must do all because they all have their blessing . Give to the poor ,parents ,mog, brethren ,strangers etc.. one giving does not take the place of the other

stop sending those money to greedy pastors who already have enough

Scriptures pls .. remember the pastors themselves are givers. 90% of pastors are volunteers . They have their jobs and businesses. They are not paid for pastoring . They give their tithes and offerings like every Christians . It's only few who may be under instruction to resign their job and do full time ministry that may require support . Lastly . Church money is not pastors money. It's only what a Pastir is given that belong to him . Church money belong to church and belong to God

Christianity Etc › Re: Adeboye A False Prophet? by petra1(m): 4:21pm On Feb 21, 2017

despi64:
I know lots of people will curse me, call me names, especially members of the redeemed church. But only if they will watch the clips on youtube with a open and free mind, then they might agree with me or come up with their own conclusions.

2 years ago, while attending to a client, Apostle Paul Adenuga, the man asked which church I worshipped, I told him Daystar, he said the pastor was not of God and belonged to a cult. I waved aside his conclusion. He said Adeboye, Oyedipo, Rev. Sam Adeyemi, Pastor Chris were all members of cult and do not represent Christ but the devil.

Fortunately for me I just stumbled upon this video and I agree with what I was told 2 years ago. I agree with Freeze, most of these so called men of God are yahoo pastors. They are all after money from the poor.

Please watch the videos with a neutral mind.

Christianity Etc › Re: Should We Really Accept John 14:6 As The Word Of Jesus? by petra1(m): 4:00pm On Feb 21, 2017

Abdulgaffar22:
. If this is true, then how could Jesus have said: I am the way and the truth and the life? No one comes to the Father except through me(John 14:6)?In what way has the Old Testament saints passed through Jesus Christ to reach God the Father-when they did not even have any personal relationship with him-?

I think you should rather ask questions than trying to teach what you don't know . Secondly we can't explain much because you can't understand deep things until you're saved .

The Old Testament folks had a distant relationship with God. But in christ . God comes into them . Christianity is actually about God indwelling presence in man. And that happens when a man receive eternal life . A recreation of the human spirit . Oneness with God .

ipreach:
I have been thinking since afternoon because of somethings I have being experiencing. I had a pregnant colleague in the office whom I always tell that she was carrying a baby boy in her womb but she blatantly told me that scam showed that it was the opposite but I refuse to accept the scam result, reason being that anytime I saw her I feel the presence of a boy.

Guess what.

Today she called that my prophesy has came to pass. She has given birth to a handsome BBB.

This is the fourth time I am predicting the gender in a pregnant woman and non has failed.

I have also predicted events, different type of sporting activities and all have been perfect.

My question now is.

Have I been called by God to be a prophet or is it just normal to other people?

Should I go and open a prophetic ministry?

Please, advice me.

It's God who call people into offices . There is difference between prophesying and the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet. Someone may prophesy that's not a proof of the gift of prophecy and having the gift of prophecy is not a proof of a call into the office of a prophet.

You can have the gift of prophecy and still be under a pastor and submit your gift under the his leadership. Paul was an apostle but he had prophets who worked with him. Silas was a prophet, Barnabas was a prophet. But served under Paul . So server in your church . Let your pastor know your experience. He will guide you . Except God tells you otherwise . When God tells you ,you will know .

. . . .Despise not prophesyings. .1 Thessalonians 5:20

The prophetic ministry is a gift to the body of christ and should never be despised . For you , you have no knowledge of the prophetic ministry and what you ought to have done at least was to make a humble enquiry. If you despise or criticize the ministry you can't get blessed by it. From your experience do you think it was merely a guess work? A man who never knew you. When God sends Simeone to you you ought to receive him and even give a seed. A prophet most times tells you of your past ,present and future . The major thing is the future but for you to believe they tell you about your Past and present so that when they tell you about the future you can believe it's not assumption . That's number 1 . The major part is that there are instructions to follow to lay hold on the future promise . You should have listened to him . Now that you have despised criticized I wonder if the anointing can still work for you .

I will give you an example . A family friend who fast and pray a lot . Had been having an inward witness that God was calling him to start a church . He kept it only to himself . He was attending redeem in UK. Like one of the associate pastors . He was a medical doctor. One day . A prophet came from Ghana to their branch and called him ,his wife and daughter out by the spirit. And told him the secret of his heart that God has called him to start a ministry . The whole church prayed for him. He later resigned his job as a doctor. But I warned him that he should get to that prophet and get instruction on how to go about it . But he refused . I also told him not to resign yet. He did . He believe he fast a lot and that should be enough . He has started in his house . But for over 5 years now it's only him and his children . 5 of them . He criticized other churches now that maybe he's the only holy man left standing. But I'm still trying to convince him to humble himself and seek help. He's out of job. The wife is left with the burden of the family. Apostle Paul fast a lot too. But he listen to the ministry of prophets .

abeg stop this lies , Levites remain the Sons of Aaron . its either you are one or Not . no shortcut

Chai! stop exhibiting poor knowledge of the Bible .

you better check yourself well, Gospel that Paul is talking about is woven around Jesus Christ , So I wonder how Levites have any knowledge of Jesus that havent come that they will preach it. Infact Remember Jesus didn't give the command to preach the Gospel until he came

your problem is @ bold , Check a good reference . the Lord in that verse is reffering to the God of Isreal. the name Yahweh was substituted with Lord , Its funny how many of you church men and women conclude every Lord u see in the bible is Jesus when its actually the God of Isreal, Yahweh. pathetic Churchianity

Priests were the teachers of their time . Olodo.

Let me add one or two scriptures for you .

Hebrews 4:2 (KJV)
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them. . .

Malachi 2:7
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge,
and they should seek the law at his mouth:
for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

Petra, Oh Petra!
Look at that Bible verse again.
It was the Lord himself that made that statement.
If you refuse to acknowledge and understand what the Lord himself said then no wonder that accepting our comments here has been impossible for you to do.

You said " There's difference between giving to brethren and giving to God", to which I pointed you to that verse of Scripture.

Jesus is clearly saying here that giving to any of his brethren is giving to him.

And all you can say is " There are different kinds of givings in the Bible"

Be sincere and look again at your statements in the light of that verse. Is Jesus saying there that if one gives to a brother he IS NOT giving to him? Or is it the other way round?

BTW, how do you give to God? Is it ONLY through tithe?

Your refusal to admit and accept that the 'NEW' has come and the 'OLD' should give way is a stumbling in your spiritual life as a Christian.

Part of honoring parents is giving to them. And the Pharisees taught that once you give to God . You can leave out giving to parents . But Jesus condemned the teaching

MATTHEW 25:40 AMP

There are different kinds of givings in the Bible . To parents ,to the poor, to strangers ,to man of God , to brethren , to God etc. One does not supplant the other . You can't say because you gave to your parents you have given to God and you can't say because you gave yo your parents you are excused from giving to God.

Mark 7:11
11 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’

Excellent .

In summary. Can anyone be saved by keeping the law?
"By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
justified in his sight." Romans 3:20. "For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8, 9.
Answer: No! The answer is too plain to miss. No one can be saved by keeping the law. Salvation comes only through grace, as a free gift from Jesus Christ, and we receive this gift by faith, not by works. The law serves only as a mirror to point out sin in our lives. Cleansing and forgiveness from that sin come only through Christ. Our own standards are never safe. I cannot know whether I am a sinner unless I look carefully into the perfect standard, God's law-mirror.

I hate Pastors because they have many people following them - not fake Facebook or In stage am or Twitter followers. No, real correct human followers. In my case my followers are not really anything worth boasting of.

I hate Pastors because their followers 'drop' something for them. Yes. Not like my own followers that I must post something so they will drop 'likes' for me. No. Pastor's followers drop things. Ego, kudi, cars, suit, fine fine things. My own followers only drop likes and shares.

I hate Pastors because they have fine things. Not like me. They have fine cars, they have jets, they have nice wrist watches etc. And what's their work by the way? Kai.

I hate Pastors because the same English I talk is the same English they talk but people listen to them like crazy. Me? Am still struggling for attention.

I hate Pastors because they have varsities. Nice ones. The best ones. Why now? I hate them because they are not allowing everyone to come free of charge. Even though they have much better facilities than govt universities, I hate them for charging fees.

I hate Pastors because people respect them. Some arent even as handsome as I am yet people thrill for them. I wear better suit and am more fashionable yet I never earn correct respect. Why?

I hate Pastors because they call them Papa. GO. Some aren't as old as me. Even myself that I am commanding microphone and feeding the waves hasn't got anyone calling me bros, talk less Papa.

I hate Pastors because of tithes. People obey and give to church. But they don't obey to give unto others (i.e me). Even when I did MMM, it was when I was to GH that MMM folded up. Kai.

I hate Pastors, I call them Yahoo boys. Yes, because I hate them.

When the disciples were praying.. In the... Was it upper room? Passers by could understand and interprete their words. They didnt speak in a "heavenly language"
And no where in the Bible is 'tongues of prayer' differentiated from 'tongues of prophesy'

Yes you're right they spoke in tongues of men, the tongues of men is meant for people to hear . There is a gift of diversity of tongues , that's the ability to speak in an earthly language that you naturally haven't learnt , it operates when speaking to a people who's language you don't know , but it's different from when you're prayiig to God in the spirit . Remember even a groan has meaning spiritually but in the natural a groan is not a language .

Romans 8:26-27 (KJV Strong's)
26 -- Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Groaning here is not earthly language , but it's a spirit prayer , Jesus groaned at the grace of Lazarus , and he said ,God heard him

How come no TITHER teach the PRINCIPLES enunciated by these portions of Scripture?:

"Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need."
(Acts 2:44-45)

"Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need."
(Acts 4:32-35)

How come none of them can SEE 'Christian Principles' from these to draw from?

Could it be because these Christian Principles go way beyond the "demanded" or "self-imposed" tithing that modern day tithers have ensnared themselves with?

Sharing among one another Philadelphia is different from giving to God. There's difference between giving to brethren and giving to God
