Christianity Etc › James The Younger Brother Of Jesus Took Over Church Leadership by petra1(op):
Since I was getting banned each time I tried to post this facts on the other thread I decided to explain the facts here

James took over the church in Jerusalem which was a kind of HQ In that time, James rise to leadership became very obvious when Peter was released from Prison, he had to send report to James first of his release

Acts 12:17
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.


If you observe when there was doctrinal issue in the early church and Paul and other apostles gathered . Even though James was new in the faith and doctrine and was still mixing the old law with the new but James was the one calling the shot . His word seem to be final .

Acts 15:13
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God


So you could see that James was the person in charge.

Another incidence was when Peter traveled to visit Paul in Galatia. He observed that the Jews and gentiles Christians ate together and he joined in too. But when some people came Ftom JERUSALEM (James church) Peter was afraid and decamped from eating with the gentiles Christians and Paul had to rebuke him

Galatians 2:11-13
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.


It’s a fact that James ,Peter and John were pillars among the Apostles but James has leadership

Galatians 2:9
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

Galatians 1:19
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

Never heard this one before! Which one is Holy Spirit Baptism and Holy Spirit infilling?
It’s by the agency of the Holy Spirit we got born again . And the Bible made us to know it’s spirit baptism .

1 Corinthians 12:13
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body. .

Holy spirit baptism is salvation. While receiving the Holy spirit is infilling

James took over form the Lord Jesus? that's a strange gospel to me.....Took over as how? All the disciples took over and continued from were the Lord stopped.....If you're talking about leadership among the disciples by appointment, then it's Peter that was appointed to lead the rest.

Then among the 12 the inner circle was Peter, John the beloved and James.
Yes you’re right Peter was leading at one point until James took over . I will explain from scripture in the next post

From where did you get this rubbish? You need to change your church or study the Bible with someone who is spiritually filled to help you.
No need for insult . Just deal with scriptures

Aaron was Moses uncle
Wrong ! , He was the elder brother with 3 years

and served as a mouthpiece for Moses because Aaron was a good orator while Moses had impediment in speech.
Did God say so , why not read the Bible and quote rightly

Exodus 4:14
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well.


The emphasis was the relationship . As regard speaking. To a stammered , every other person can speak well.

Aaron continued to be a support afterward but he never succeeded Moses; Joshua did.
I didn’t say other wise read my post again but do not be in hurry to reply

Miriam was also a sister and just one of the assistants, nothing more. She didn’t succeed Moses.
Read the post again . The point is that relationship has a place in ministry . It’s honor to have household member involved with the work


Where did you read that James succeeded Jesus? The apostles succeeded Jesus, all of them
James took over leadership and his name became prominent . Other Apostles took Back stage .

Galatians 2:9
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.


If you understand Jewish writing you will know that the name of the leader Usually come first .

When Peter was released from prison he had to send report to James first

Acts 12:17
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.


So next time don’t be so freshly to throw insult , rather ask for clarification

Righteousness89:
Moses did not Choose Aaron! GOD ALMIGHTY Chose Aaron.

No body took over from JESUS.

JESUS Christ Had his Disciples who he taught and sent out to carry out the work!

If there was anyone at all we should say JESUS appointed, it should be Peter!

But I won't use that word because The Whole 12 were appointed.
James took over leadership in the church in Jerusalem

I don't doubt this bro, loyalty and commitment should always come first. That is, where the selection process is purely based on 'merit'. But knowing how the Holy Spirit works, one would expect that sometimes a relatively 'unknown' member of the congregation, music group or ushering department etc would be chosen to lead the household of God, not necessarily a prominent family member or pastor. Remember that man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.
If a God has chosen the usher , it will show in service , loyalty and in the grace upon the person. A good example is Pastor Adeboye . God didn’t choose the family member of Pa Akindayomi who was the Founder of Redeemed but rather he chose Adeboye who was serving Pa Akindayo

No matter what they preach, it's usually a member of the family that will always take over at the end of the day.
Nothing is wrong with that . It's an issue of loyalty to the vision . Aaron the high priest was moses elder brother .

Miriam the prophetess was moses elder sister

When Aaron died ,his son was chosen to be high priest. Because he was already serving with him .

But moses son was not serving with him . Rather joshua was serving moses. So Joshua took over from moses .

James jesus brother took over the from jesus.

It's an issue of loyalty. Its rather safe if if there is a willing heart to serve in the family than a stranger.
Christianity Etc › Re: True-life Story: I Am A B.sc Holder, My Pastor Said I Should Marry JSS 3 Holder by petra1(m): 4:44am On Jun 12, 2020
Nothing is wrong with graduate marrying school cert holder or less . Some have done it . Also there are school cert holder that are very sound and enlightened even more than some so called graduate. Sometimes we consider people opinion and criticism . Follow your heart.

Also someone should not marry who he or she is not comfortable with .

The issue about the Pastor should not have been Posted without details . What's your relationship with the Pastor,I'd he advising you as a man, father figure? what kind of person is he. Is he he a graduate himself . Is he operating by prophetic gift to you and if that's the case , what is the track record of his prophecies.

If you post half truth you cant get proper counsel except counsel that your post projects you want. Which is to condemn the fake pastor

I rejoice with the People of Kenya on their 2/3-day national repentance revival which ends today. God called them to repent or face judgement and they heeded.

The current prime minister, all 8 presidential candidates, thousands of pastors, prophet Owuor and about 6 millions of people are gathered together at Uhuru park, Nairobi, Kenya, as I post, repenting all their sins in humility before Jehovah. The whole nation had embarked on 3-day dry fasting since friday and the fasting will end this evening.
2 Chro 7:14.

Nigeria, God is calling us to repent before He brings His judgement. Repent. Jesus is coming. Shalom.
That’s what I’m talking about. Nations should humble under God . Or the church in nations unite to do it on behalf of the nations
