solite3: The great tribulation is different from tribulations which the church has being going through,
the church is not supposed to go through tribulation at all. its the rapture of the church that is the imminent which will usher the world into the 7 year tribulation
adem30: The Living Faith Church aka Winner Chapel of Bishop David Oyedepo claimed to have healed 36 Covid-19 patients around the world through online broadcast. This was shared on Facebook broadcast sent to all church members
if they said it I believe it. Bishop Oyedepo is too honorable to make a fasle claim
agwom: The Bible tells us that God implemented the Sabbath day, at the time of creation as a memorial to his wondrous work. It says, Gen 2:2-3 “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made”.
The sabbath was a shadow of Christ; secondly sabbath was not changed to sunday. The jews still maintain their sabbath but not for Christians ; christians worship on sundays because the early church worship on Sundays
Enn214: I asked this question on that "church gist" platform on Facebook.... In a few minutes, hypocrites were all over me...& the coward page admin banned me from the page
People are mising church service . are you not aware?
hecomeshome: You didn't respond to 1Cor 3:6. What about it? If I go with NIV, why would Paul lay down a rule in all the churches if he didn't plant them? Cos you said he didn't build churches.
Youre right , Paul had churches under him who reports to him likewise other apostles like john and Peter had jerusalem under him
Paul had pastors like timothy, titus whom he send to some of the churches under his auhtority
Wolgrace: Point of correction: Nigeria Church was and will never be the reason for atheism, okay? It is a well known fact that its a luciferian theology called bigbang theory in regards to solar system called sun worship and adoration biblically known as BAAL. So, it didn't start here and desist from deceptively using this interactive session to promote atheism under the guise of debates. I spot Satan's trick easily.
Lastly, be well noted we're in dispensation of Holy Spirit, to get biblical understanding, don't read the letters without Him interpreting it for you(2Cor3:6). YOU NEED HIM FIRST. Peace!
desiredhome: Tithe and offerings of these Pastorpreours business center are not given to God, they are used to build expensive schools for the rich while the poor that gave towards such projects cannot afford The tithes and offerings are used to build estates that only the rich and even unbelievers, the politicians can afford to buy while the sheeple are living in slump God does not live in mansions built by man, God lives in our heart, The little you do to the poor, the needy among you is when you are giving to God/doing the work of God, it's high time we stop deceiving ourselves, God cannot be mocked
Most pastors have their jobs and businesses . 90% of Pastors volunteers . Some are lecturers , business men , bankers , oil workers .etc. criteria for most ministries in appointing a Pastor is that he must have a job first . He gives his offerings and tithes like everyone . Church money does not belong to Pastor
stephenponti: "As the manner of some" that means even in the days of Paul not every christian was assembling together. Any one can get exhortation from any chosen angle in this era of printed bible,
They had books and scriptures in the days of Paul too . But that doesn't take the place of church gathering
There's a corporate power manifested in our gathering . It's not about personal reading. It's the gathering . The onsite fellowship
These men are really missing the tithes and offerings
And the worship multitudes worship them
Even God hate foolishness thats why we would not see fire and put our hands just because we have God
God wants you to be wise
You're very wrong . People give offering and tithes online dude even before a lockdown . The reason for gathering is not about money . But it's a bible injunction . The ones the power of church gathering.
bottlewater1: Oga go and sit down and stop spewing rubbish Bible say where TWO or THREE gathered in my name which means even when you gather with your family in a time like this God is there to answer your prayer. Besides must miracle be conducted in the church? You and your pastors should visit isolation centers to perform to power of God that you carry. Peace
Home meeting is not church gathering. The early church meet daily in homes but still gather together as church on sundays
subcbouy: Then all these pastors should pray to God to remove this plague. In a situation like this where you cannot gather because of being infected, dont you think, it can amount to ignorance if people started falling sick to the disease because of disobedience to constituted authority?
The lock down is not necessary. Sweden did not do lockdown . We conquered the dreaded Ebola without lockdown
If your theory is correct that means we have less than 7years to go and 1000years millennia reign extra before the white throne judgement! Then the end! If that's so, you already know the end of the world! i think you are now little god the father.
This is not about tribulation . Nobody says t.
his is the tribulation . The issue is about the cover up and hidden agenda sourrounding this one . There is enough evidence nations are being controlled and manipulated into this agenda by falsehood . How do you trust people who create a virus to give you vaccine . Why shutting down economy of nations and giving their government carrots which is almost looking like bribery. There is a long term meticulous plan about convid 19 . And many evidence shows it was planned .
ThinkFreely: Yes, you heard it, I will give 50k to anybody that’s can provide evidence that covid19 was made in a Chinese lab.
First of all, I will like us to defined what “evidence” is: the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
Please note that if you must quote any scientist, you should be able to provide repeatable experiments carriedout by this scientist to justify your claim.
alexsoftwork: Those your sheeple pastors and members have bribe u to come and say despicable things about his name on this platform abi, anyways the guy no send u in the first place.
litigator: By the way, you did not address the second and third arm of my question. Are being dodgy and cherry picking?
Well I felt they were no issues . The church has responsibilities to its members and I'm aware many churches send money and food to brethren and even took some to outsiders .
Somw Churches are reaching out for souls at this time both online and onsite . Because of the signs of the end times . Not all churches though . Everyone according to their revelation of God
[quote author=litigator post=89344790]Has this gathering not be taking place in a family setting [\quote]
So what is the need of social distancing then . They can't meet in church but they can meet sat home.? Is not contradiction?
and online via the deployment of the online church
Online is only for partial use . A medium to reach others . It can't take the place of gathering . Can you lay hands online ?
Has gathering stopped? Assuming there was military warfare with bombs raining down from the sky and bullets in all directions, will you advocate any form of physical assembly?
Let the bomb come first . Even during persecution the church still met. The church must meet at all cost as much as possible. We gather to break communion and fellowship
1 John 1:7 we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
It is wrong to condemn any church and their mode of worship. You may not agree with certain church for their mode of worship but as long as they are serving christ .everybody have a bible reason for their operation Leave the judgement to christ .
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Phi 1:15 — Phi 1:16 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Let Christ be preach anyhow .
Some got saved through catholic . Some found christ through white garment church, some through holiness movements, some through faith movement, some through prophetic churches, some through deliverance churches, some through intercesory churches, some through evangelical, everybody should mind their callings and business and stop criticizing another .
litigator: How many church buildings did Apostles Peter and Paul build?
This is not about buildings it's about the fact that The church is a gathering. And its ordained to gather
Kindly educate my ignorance. I await your timely response, God bless. .
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Firstly lockdown is not necessary. Sweden did not do lockdown and they are experiencing decline in covid cases
We did not lock down during Ebola crisis yet we prevail over .
Secondly Churches are ordained to meet physically. And real christ loving Christian's who knows the bible should not speak the language of the enemy.
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching
