(Joagbaje)Agree, I said in some other thread , there are several reasons for poverty, some are based on ignorance of the word, laziness, indiscipline ,etc. However there are still some Christians that may experienc poverty by the virtue of their callings in God. They know of their wealth in christ but they know the cross of denial they have to carry too

(nlmediator) I believe giving is important for the believer. But pastors are simply abusing the message of giving. And that's really sad.

@Plappville, am I God who gave the power to forgive sins to men? See me see trouble. Go and question God na, didn't he know that men would sin before giving them that power?

Don't let your hatred make you unreasonable. Eye wey dey cry go still dey see road na, E no dey go blind.

Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer, who stepped down in 1995 after being accused of sexually abusing young student priests.

Note that I'm not saying that the Pope doesn't commit sins or that he's not human. Since u all know he's human y do u expect him to be sinless?

bleieve that and you would believe anything

When Nigerian Christians get excited over these kinds of  attempts to discredit the Pope and the Catholic Church, I laugh.

[/quote][quote]They don't see it's the devil's plan against his number one enemy on earth - The Catholic Church.

*jst wonderin wat Rosary n candles hav to do with black or white Popes*

What manner of reasoning!

Anyway I'm loving this hatred for the Church. It only confirms the faith to be true. I remember all the negative things that were said of Jesus.

we have about 3 or 4 black cardinals in the RCC ,what stops them from becomming pope

In my opinion, people have always hidden under the toga of religion to commit wanton atrocities against their fellow man. It's about time for justice not only to be done, but also SEEN to be done. The Pope deserves to have his day in court, he should be personally charged, and convicted for his active support of paedophilia. Enough is enough of this gross and despicable pervasion!!!

@claremot
do you really for 1 second beleive the pope would actually be tried for these crimes.Well there are variety of reasons why the case would not see d light of d day.
1.Morally-the pope on his own did not commit any of these crimes hence cannot be tried for someone else's crime.
2.Legally-the vatican is a sovereign nation and is not signatory 2 d ICC's charter.
3.Politically-the pope is one of the most influential men in d world with over a billion adherents scattered throughout the
globe.Any attempt to arrest hiom will trigger a global tsunami far worse than d arab spring.

@plappville; « #10 on: Yesterday at 08:31:56 AM »neither of the verses came from Jesus. Did you notice that, sisi? It seems to me at least, that Jesus didn't quite finish everything. I am certain that his 'its finished' was said quite too soon, before it actually finished, much, much later.

So, having looked at why God allows evil, and who created evil(whatever that means), the next question asked is 'Why did God create evil?' i do not hold a monopoly of knowledge, neither am i omniscient. Still, i'd be stringent(in my estimation) with the little i will say on this. This is primarily because the definition of evil is not fixed between you and me. One man's poison(evil0 is another man's food (good). On the other case, that we do not know the purpose of something doesn't compulsorily mean that that thing is useless or unfair. That you do not know why God made evil doesn't mean that God is bad, or unfair, or inconsiderate, or irrational, or non-existent. i do not know why God made you. i do not know the value of everything that i see. i do not understand why there are a zillion stars and i'm not making profit from that. i do not fully comprehend the use of other planets, and galaxies. Still, i know that God is all wise, only wise, righteous and holy. Whatsoever He made has its purpose even if i do not see or know it. In our ignorance we may wonder, what's the use or purpose of things around us like our neighbours, to gravity, to fire, to fear, to friction. If there were no gravity, maybe Mr A wouldn't break his back, but some of us know how important gravity is, some don't. If not for friction, company Z would not lose that wonderful machine/equipment. I recall in intro technology when we were taught the advantages and disadvantages of friction. And what of fire. How do you feel about fire if it affected you by razing your car, house or body? Even fear, what's the use of fear? Do you know that we all need some fear? i believe it's much the same way with God making evil. Maybe it wasn't for us like the rainbow's rarely of any economic value in the stock market. But it is useful where it is useful.
Now for the believer, God has made a bypass, in sending us Jesus Christ His Son. With Jesus, believers are seated together in heavenly places far above all the earth. What that means is Romans 8v28

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

In other words, that is frustration for the devil. That in the mean time, while we await the end of all sickness, pain, disaster and co, which would be when jesus comes again and which was clearly said by jesus while on earth. Whil;e we wait for this, we can overcome and live as if in Heaven while actually on earth. that is, despite sickness, pain, death, disappointment, and all what may be thrown at us while on earth,we still obey God and glorify Him. that is, if you slap me, it's a glorious opportunity to show the grace of God. If you shower me with gifts, it's still praise the Lord, God is good. it means, the devil has lost already any one that he throws or does. We do not fear 'evil' like others that don't know God. We're not particular to escape it. We, as believers are MORE THAN conquerors.

"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" - 1 Peter 4:17

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

The Kingdom of Heaven is near, "even at the doors"!

nuclearboy:
You'd be surprised what I know and why I became militant against these people!

Yet all it takes to bring them down is "Christians" speaking into their lives. As far as I am concerned, "those who pervert justice and oppress the poor using the Name of Christ as a mask, will watch helplessly as their own avarice seeks them out and destroys them. They will NOT know where and when to stop and thus will give themselves away and receive the disgrace, pain, poverty they have inflicted on others. Such will never know peace or joy and will in their lifetime see their efforts frustrated"

Okay let me enlighten you a little, no one cares who owns Amazon, Amazon is simply a wholesale and retail seller of books , dvds etc and accessories.

So anyone can ask Amazon to sell their books for a small fee.

God forbid I should ever hate Muslims !!

From my heart I can attest to the fact that not only do I have Muslim friends, my bible teaches me to LOVE even my enemies.

I will tell you what I hate, a religion taking hundreds of millions of my brothers and sisters to an eternity without Christ.

May you never end up where Muhammad is today !!

frosbel:
Warning !!!   Liar on a rampage for ALLAH the great deceiver.

God bless and protect this woman.

Except Lagosshia is willingly trying to discredit all Muhammad's apostles who commented on this matter and confirmed Aisha was 9.

Here comes the Shia heretic to discredit his holy scriptures !!!!

You must be so ashamed on your prophet 

babaearly @Cyberfreak

Anyway you are free to become light headed.

And yet people who call themselves true christians still find themselve controled by these artists wake up children of GOD.
