Pastors Are Wealthy, Many Members Are Poor : Is A Spiritual Error by paxonel(op): 6:56am On Nov 16, 2025
Some of these pastors do not have anything doing, but to flash their extravagant and flamboyant lifestyles on social media, making vain prophecies like "Since I'm not poor, you too you will never be poor in Jesus name "

And at the end, the person in question is still poor.

Nigerians! grin grin

Anyway, the point is whatever is happening is a function of what is on our minds as a people.

A scammer can only scam the vulnerable because the mind of the vulnerable is obscured.

Definitely, they can't try all these in a sane society and go scort free .

That's not Christianity but Christendom!

True Christians don't extort money from fellow believers because it's against what our Master Lord and King Christ Jesus taught us! Matthew 6:19-21🙂

That's the world's definition it doesn't go well with Jesus' definition.
According to Jesus all his disciples should have the same line of thought {John 17:22} so that the love they share among themselves is really strong that nothing not even politics, racism or riches could break our brotherhood. 1Corinthans 1:10; 1Peter 3:8
So this idea of different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming believers in Christ doesn't add up going by Jesus' point of view neither does it work with his first century disciples!😟

Yes we are living in the same world with you people but we are separate:

I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.  “I do not request that you take them out of the world, but that you watch over them because of the wicked one. They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.  Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth.  Just as you sent me into the world, I also sent them into the world. John 17:14-18

So Mr, we are no part of the world even though we are living with worldly people that's why you can't prove what you said about Jehovah's Witnesses being the worst yet you typed it as if you had something to say!🙂

what is born again? Catholic believe in born again or not today Christians don't know what Jesus meant by born again and it is causing big problem in Christianity as I'm talking to you
Here you are eleven years ago and till now you haven't figured out which one out of all these countless religions is the true Christian group but the one that's practicing Christianity in its entirety you just feel hatred towards them without a sound reason.

You need to know that when talking about God's judgement some like you have already judged themselves.

How?

Jesus said:

Now this is the basis for judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. For whoever practices vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be reproved. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that his works may be made manifest as having been done in harmony with God.” John 3:19-21

Of course Jesus is the light but since everyone can't see Jesus he left a group and called them the light of the world! Matthew 5:14

Is it possible that nobody finds any fault with light?
Of course not, if nobody finds fault with the light Jesus could have won the heart of all his people back in the first century.

So what really happened?
Could we say Jesus lied by calling himself the light?

Let's borrow a leaf from this illustration.
Humans have created different types of electricity bulbs but can they make any that's as bright as the day light?
The answer is NO.
But if you look critically at the sky where the day light comes from you will see some dark spots yet there can never be any source of light that's brighter than day light.
So the same applies to Jesus and his true disciples if anyone looks critically at Jesus surely you will find faults with him {Matthew 11:6} therefore if people could find faults with Jesus who is the perfect son of God how do you think they won't find faults with his disciples who are imperfect humans?

So people will find faults with Jehovah's Witnesses but they can never ever find a better group that's performing as Christians like Jehovah's Witnesses just as you can't find a better source of light than the sky!🙂
