kambo: All these mog that want to impose their ideologies on their members. Sure there are idolatarous scents around chrstian holidays like easter and christmas owg to the odious pagan influence of catholicsm but tht doesnt warrant thrwg the baby out wth d bath water.
Re educate members and excise the pagan aspect.
Its even unbiblical to not celebrate.
Wen God created the wrld he commemorated it.
Wen God promised to never destroy d wrld with a flood he commemorated it with a rainbow.
When God slew d frst born of egypt and finally broke pharoah's obstinacy ,he commemorated it with d feast of passover.
How much more shudnt d church commemorate d day a MAN wud b born to save the wrld from sin.
It shudnt b treated like another day. It's GOD birthday.
The attitude shud b diffrent though its not a time for hedonistic feastg but godly rejoicg.

fredx4: Am a little bit confused, did she commit a sin by accepting islam to avoid being butchered like a cow. I really don't know what I'll do in a situation like that. May God help us and deliver us from this muslims.

Logicboy03: This is pat robertson and so, it is not shocking

What is shocking is that many nigerians and americans watch this wicked od man on tv

Joshthefirst: My tithe goes to the church.
We also give to the widows and needy.

We also give to the pastors. We also give for church projects.

We give most of all as the spirit leads in love.

You are not in any position to speak against giving.


Why should my pastor not have good clothes?

My duty is to obey God as the Spirit leads in love. God will judge the pastor or whomever if he

abuses his position.

alexleo: Now when you read people's post you cool down and understand it before replying. What I wrote is a general advice to everyone including me. I never said I have a perfect interpretation. If you read my past posts you ll see that I have been saying that no human being or church is perfect in interpreting the bible. Whether you READ your bible o or you STUDY it o, make sure you are doing it with the help of the Holy Spirit. I don't even see anything wrong in the point I made except you have another thing in mind. If I have a perfect interpretation then I wouldn't be saying am here to learn. Check all my posts you won't see where I said am here to teach rather you ll only see me say am here to learn and share my little knowledge. And you are right, some of us are boasting that's why I want all of us to cool down and behave like students who are just learning. Not people behaving as if they are perfect. Personally I use to see sunday as holy and untouchable day until I came accross the bible verses I quoted to you then it became clear to me that everyday is equal. The bible verse you quoted here which you said a sister gave to you, I ve also learnt more from it. We keep learning. Thanks.

frosbel: better than your incoherent and incomprehensible rants !!

alexleo: That's ok but I ll also add that we should read the bible with the Holy Spirit's interpretations. Reading the bible is not the main thing but let your understanding of it or interpretations be powered by the Holy Spirit. Atheists read bible too but misinterprete it. Same goes to false preachers.

truthislight: ^^^
Leave my sis alone!

Image123: What is your concern in the body of Christ plap. i must look at it.

Image123: so much error mmatically. Your reactions amuse me, really. Don't worry, I'll tell the Lord to explain to you on the sabbath. Perhaps, he'll send that sister again.

winner95: Don't mis-interprete the bible, the bible penalize the using of all kind of jewelries.....
1 Peter 3: 3-5
"3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of heart the heart.........."
May the Lord God have mercy on us, this is infact, what is leading many of we youths to the wrong path.....mis-interpretation of the bible', anyway am not suprised, the bible has already told us that at ''the end time the perilous time will come people will be doing what they like......'' and I'm sure the end time is here already.

frosbel: she speaks French, and is trying with English plus her native language, which one do you speak ? , or is it because we do not point out your numerous grammatical errors ? we can start now if you want

Image123: na you bring up and insist on sabbath oh. You and sabbath sha, na only God go separate you.

holypower: pls read and share this warning given to the people in the world...http://echo.com.ng/2013/eternity-another-warning-5/.......

Image123: e no pain oh, plap. It doesn't have to pain to be corrected. He has been shown, its up to him to decide what to do. And you too, though you still dey struggle with grammar, not to mention other local language.

truthislight: Mr man comot for road!

When you people over step the commands of God you methaphor us to cover your man's made traditions.

*sigh*

truthislight: The laws God gave was 613, are to keep all or we are to keep some and leave some ?

If yes, we are to keep all, are you doing that ?

If no, we are to keep some and leave some, is that possible ?

See:

"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in 'all' things which are written in the book of the law to do them." (Galatians 3:10).

Is it possible to keep some and leave some of the laws of moses ? You be the judge.

The two commandment that christ gave covers all what a christian need to do and beyond.

The principles of the whole 613 laws are captured in the two laws of christ, namely:

love of God and love of your fellow man.

I still suggest you look into this again.

Peace.

pweetiedee: lets be factual, christianity isn't bondage. When Jesus came,he made clear d commandments. Read mark 7,galatians 5. He broke this commandments into two:love your God,Love ur neighbour as yourself. Ever since before Jesus came,fashion has been in existence. Read Esther,she was beautified,or dyu think Esther and d oda virgins did not contest? It was a beauty contest. Esther made up,she wore earings(jews wear earings,necklaces,nose rings and even ankle chains) david,saul and some other kings adorned demselves with golds!even the women. God wants us to dress decently, ladies shouldnt wear revealing clothes,wear modest dresses that fit u and luk btiful on you,make up in a modest way,take care of your skin and hair. Pls,dere is nuffinn bad in using relaxers! Takia of ur hair and get rid of dat awful smell. Use cleasers to clean ur face. God doesnt appreciate dirty ppl. He gave us beauty,u av to show it. Ladies and guys,stop indecent dressing! God doesnt like it. Pastors of nowadays av fashioned christianity to their own tastes,it is now a doctrine,diff churches with diff doctrines.sum support earings,some dont,some support weavons,some dont, but as christians,God purposely gave us the bible so we can understand,knw d comandments,keep the commandments. Do not dress indecently,too much of make up makes u ugly. May God give us the Grace to do his own will. Amen

redcliff: [size=14pt]the passage did not say i shouldnt wear clothes. Clothing is essential but what empasis it is trying to bring out is that you should not spend so much time on adornment of cothing [/size]
DId it says you shouldn't use gold or braid ur hair?


[size=14pt]Haba madame, the protagonist here was likening the upliftment of his inner man with worldly adornment. this is not the word from the lord is it? the person here was using an instance to liken another doesn't mean he's actually into it.
[/size]

truthislight: Sis, is that ^ the truth and nothing But, the truth ?

can you kindly show us where such instruction is given to christians ?

Is there no scripture that says that "let no one judge you on the observance of a day sabbath" ?

Ma sis, can you kindly look/visit this matter again ?

I trust you will do well.

Peace

truthislight: sis, is that ^ generalisation not two much ?

To some people, there is no difference between a worship on saturday and a sunday even tuesdays.

redcliff: [size=14pt]sis you should understand that Culture is a manmade phenomenon.
[/size]
Acts 10: 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons

plappville: Are you dressing like the Israelites today? Or that trouser you claim to be men's clothes is it ur culture to wear trouser? Don't the English men wear skirt? The Urhobo men tie wrapper as well as their women how will u judge them? The western also have their culture. Their dressing code is not like that of the Israelites or Nigeria, will u now judge their women? Common you people should stop claiming to be holier than others. Only God knows who worship him for truth.

redcliff: He doesnt look at the otward but you have forgotten that in

1 Corinthians 6:19 it says:
Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, and this temple must be kept holy and acceptable

Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship.

Deut 22: 5
“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

now tell me, where is the garment being worn? body or soul?

redcliff: [size=14pt]on the issue of trousers, Gold and silver adornment and make ups(because that is what this has been about), i know you can't come to terms with the fact of it. because you see nothing wrong with it and you don't see why the most high sees it that way too. but this is his message for you
[/size]
Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

redcliff: [size=14pt]I would like to clear the airwaves on this. To the best of my understanding, As we know RCCG is a really big church. Adeboye preaches the undiluted word of God. For Linda to say God told her that the are on their are deviating.....look for yourself, most RCCG churches these days are guilty of whatever she said. They wear trousers, makeups, braids, jewelries and what have you. The church is too big for him (Adeboye) to go around whenever there is service to tell people not to do all these things. He speaks from the altar and its left to you as his follower to either obey or likewise but you find out that most of his members do not hacken to these wordings. In the same gathering you would see a worker wearing trousers in the house of God. I feel the problem is not from Him (Adeboye) but the people who he has under him that manage sectors of his church. e.g, provincial pastors, parish pastors, zonal heads, deacon, deaconesses and the likes. who do not resound these warnings time and again to their congregation they have been mandated to lead [/size]

redcliff: [size=14pt]Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God.

oh and on your post on adornment here is a bible verse for it

1 Timothy 2:9 - In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;[/size]

Image123: hey hey plap, you don come oh. Don't turn this thread into Shabbath things na.

Boomark: that is for the world not according to the scripture. They can even make it Tuesday and no body will go to work that day.

Let them say what they want, false prophets and false revelations are everywhere. If e no dey biblical, then na false witness.

truthislight: Not 'you' judging, but, from what the bible teaches, will God judge christians for observing or not observing "a sabbath day"(saturday)
