Yeah right! Jesus can never make mistake. But if na another person make that kind of appointment you for don crucify am!

No, I would not.

For criticizing that which is understandable or can be understood (that is if you care to) comes because you either suffer from Lack of Understanding(which is curable) or Bias(which is usually incurable) grin

Thankfully, I suffer none of these! grin

AntiChristian:

Anyways! If Jesus was right the first time, there won't be any need for Paul.

He was wrong.

I have already answered you so you are merely repeating yourself! grin

From his conver with JNR, I deduce that he is Muslim. And there seems to be a rise on Muslim attacks here.

So he does not know many things.

You have not answered but instead shifting goal post.. That's very obvious..

How can a perfect person still have anger issue? Where is the perfection?

grin I have remained on point all through on the issue between us, to wit, Perfect, so falsely accusing me of that which you are guilty of would not change my answer grin

And Repeating yourself, would not change my answers either, so you can knock yourself out grin grin grin

I have!

But you are simply exercising your right to reject the Truth!

And of course being who you are, I know your personal bias prevents you from accepting it.

Thus nothing I say will be accepted by you and neither do I care for the aforesaid!

So you can go on repeating yourself!

I am done! grin

God promised through the prophets to send the jews Messiah that will establish peace and deliver them from their enemies bring them back to their native land. The land he promised to their ancestors...

Jesus if he existed did not do any of that.

The romans took the Jewish scriptures and created a caricature of a messiah while mistranslating it. What you got was a demi God who died for his sins..

It's either Jesus is a fraud, fiction or failure...

Your choice.

You headline is disrespectful. Thunder suppose don fire you by now.

Religious spirit is heavy on you.
If you have any sense you'll have realised it's an analogy concerning the recent sack of pastors by Winners for lack of large membership.

If God were to be like Oyedepo, you would have been dead by now cos clearly you're a failure for not being like Christ. grin

Was Jesus A failure Because Many Of His Disciples Left Him And Few Stayed?

Jesus was Someone who prioritized the preaching the Word of the Spirit which quickens and gives life, over the word of the flesh which profits nothing but death. John 6:63, 12:49-50.

This made Him lose many disciples at some point of His ministry, as they were said to have left Him and never walked with Him again because of the Word which He preached. John 6:60, 66.

Hence He was left with just a few disciples because of His determination to keep preaching Word of the Spirit despite that it made the many disciples go away, and not the word of the flesh which would have made them remain with Him.

So was Jesus a failure as a result?

Was He unfruitful?

That's what most church leaders of the present day would say, because they are quantity-oriented, not quality-oriented as Jesus was, hence they'd rather preach the words of the flesh which profits nothing to attract and keep the crowd with them, not the Words of the Spirit that gives eternal life, which may make many of them leave as those many disciples of Jesus did, but wisdom is justified of her children, even the few that remained with Him because of the Words which He spoke.

Hence Jesus built may have been lacking in quantity but it was full of spiritual quality, while today's church is full of quantity but lacking in spiritual quality.

That's the spiritual quality which the early church had that today's church leaders have traded for quantity.

The results speak for themselves.

God bless.

YOU SPOKE MY MIND.
GOD BLESS YOU.

Just like that! Imagine a supposed preacher!

Sir, preach the gospel and forget what Oyedepo and others are doing in the Congregations. They may be right in their actions, who knows the mind of God. Their sack may be a clarion call to sit up but ooops! with internet, some are making publicist of the matter.

Face front man. And haven't you read of persecution? Why won't they endure a simple test?

If dad only preaches Christ to you without correcting you when you are friend to somebody with questionable character, will his "Jesus loves you" message be enough?

Bro. He is not criticizing Oyedepo, he is using the word of God also to tell us that if you are preaching the true gospel of Christ, many who have itchy ears will be offended. So, crowd will not want to congregate around the truth hitting them and challenging their lack of Christ when they claimed being Christian.

But when the focus is the crowd, the message can be diluted to pamper them for hell fire.

I was in that Church for close to 17 years (due to my living with my brother who's a member, now pastor) before God delivered me from the message of dominance on earth.

Seek you first the kingdom of God and it's righteousness is in giving your life to Jesus and living it daily by obeying him in all. It is not in monetary value.

How can a fornicator be a successful praise worship leader?
It happened because in a whole year, you will never hear pastor preach about what the works of the flesh are.

Bible is complete, but they selected where to use to motivate men to dominate the earth.

Let thy kingdom come oh Lord.
The deciet is getting too much.

You do not understand me. The saga is predicated upon the rudiments of the Church and to which the people (sacked Pastors) subscribed to.

Sir, you have said the truth. Preaching righteousness, holy living, will rather send people away. This is nothing but the truth.

But in the instant case, the people subscribed to "winning souls to the Church" than to Christ.

It is a sorry case Bro.

Is this how we will continue in this mess?

You turned to Government, no leeway.

You turn to church, another bondage.

Lord, Let thy Kingdom come.

Bring back thy revival.

Mscheeeew. Idiotic headline, wrong priorities.
Not surprised, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks for someone born of the flesh not of the Spirit.

Be there deceiving yourself with people's approval and estimation, one day if you don't truly repent, you'd know who has misplaced priorities between us.

[b]This was one of the weakness of anyone going to that church (I was in that captivity for 17 years too)

They can use foul languages so easily because it is rear for anyone to teach them the attitudes/character of a Christian as taught by Jesus himself in Matthew 5.

My relations who goes there can say anything to anyone because even papa does that. You can slap any adult so easily when angry because papa does that.

You will never hear them expatiate on the word of God as touching the works of the flesh and the fruits of the Holy spirit. Galatians 5:19-23.

No wonder a fornicator can be a successful praise worship leader there.

No wonder Provincial / District Pastors can inflate valuation of landed property (proposed District or Zonal Centers) so as to share the extra millions on top between themselves (one of the cases went to court because the Deacons below who broker the deal around Isheri Olofin felt cheated in the sharing).

No wonder pastors can inflate cost of materials purchased by church without feeling any prick.

Wetin Musa eye no go see for gate.

The message about dominating the earth is 100% flawed.

The Lord knows those who are his, Let every one named the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.[/b]
