Okay. I understand your point now. No problem. Do what brings you join. They are nice people among them, especially the older ones. If you attend the yoruba class, they are nicest. But in the English class, the woman have pride, lol.

I have attended both and i must confess that throughout the world they have the same kind of love and respect for their members.

I guess you were trying to marry one of their females when you never dedicated your life to their God.

Don't just stay in one place try to go to other places in fact travel to other countries around the world and you will see that only Jehovah's Witnesses have the love Jesus foretold among his disciples! John 13:34-35

Money makes the world go round. Close the thread. The answer is obvious.

First that scripture is different from what this question is for. Nobody is telling you to treat the poor with disdain because that is what James is addressing. Everybody most be treated with love in the house of God. But it's now different when they want to recognise people's effort to see that church services and activities are going on smoothly and some other persons are making that happen. Yes you most recognise them because they are people that have money in that same church and will not support the work of God there.

Ecclesiastes 9:15-16 (KJV) Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

You are turning scriptures upside down, no thanks to the bad theology of many of these corrupt churches.
Ecclesiastes 9:15 is only describing what goes on in this world, it wasn't endorsing it.
James is saying treat the poor and the rich equally without prefertial treatment.
When it comes to special recognition, it is meant for those who labored more not base of their resources.

Jesus specially recognized a widow even though she gave the least.

Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Kingdom reward is not base on how much you have but what you give relative to what you have.

You also wrongly interpreted

Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

The parable is not about how rich materially you are but how you make use of what God give to you to be profitable to his kingdom and if you don't use what God gave you it will be taken from you.
Rewards in heaven is about the level of one's work relative to what he has. A poor person may labour more than a rich person and he will be honored more than the rich person. It is not about who is poor or who is rich but about making use of what you are given.

Lol. Individuals with fake love and fake smiles. Be like say you just start worshipping with them. I quit last year

I don't know where you saw fake smile and fake love o
I commented on celebrating the rich..

Yes countless times, even billionaires dey fall, you dey go church at all

Akaujaa:
Have you ever seen a rich man fall under anointing in any church? Church is for the poor to be manipulated and extorted.

Omooba77:
Why do we celebrate the rich more than the poor in some Churches?

When u say some churches, it's an understatement, the truth is it happens in most churches now.

You don't exist, if you are poor but the moment they start noticing you started cash, you will be well respected and treated Welland it doesn't stop there you become a cash cow. This i see in most orthodox churches especially here in Nigeria.


And when you have been milked, and don't have the money again, u will be automatically forgetton and pushed away like a piece of rubbish. Again you can not be allowed to take some sensitive offices or duties in orthodox churches if you are poor.

Some of this priests will literally drive past you, like you don't exist if you are poor, but will stop by the rich and have a good pleasantries.
At first I thought am the only person seeing this until someone else complained bitterly to me about the issue. This I see as marketing or call it business it's in most churches but more in the orthodox.

My concern is hence they knew this is spreading among them, they should preach against it and treat their parishioners as same.

He wasn't baptized but wanted all the love and attention that baptized brothers and sisters are getting from witnesses!😟

You are misinterpreting some of the scriptures above and my position does not differ from the rewards system you mentioned. God rewards system is in accordance with your labour, your input. That was why I said two people may have same capacity one can use its own for the kingdom and the other could use is for earthly purposes. The story of the widow's mite they could be other widows that have what she has and did not do what she did. God will reward us all according to our capacity of contribution. If I have 100k dollars and I use half of it and another one has same and use only 5 percentage of it the rewards cannot be the same.
In the church the people without money can be effective in other areas and they will be recognised in those areas of effectiveness. Area of contributions are plenty and you will recognise people's in what they did. That was how the scripture graded the people that were called the Mighty Men of David. They were 30 of them and they all have positions. They were others that were not also part of the numbers.

MaxInDHouse:
It simply means giving up worldly riches to make friend with God so choosing a career of Christian ministry instead of pursuing material riches is the same as storing your riches in heaven where no thief can see what you have with God!🙂

What do you mean by giving up worldly riches?
What you said is so inconsistent with God. What is pursuing material riches.
You mean that Christians are supposed to be poor? Like we should not engaged in businesses and job that can make us wealthy?

This is the problem your religious leaders have created for you people.

Christians are those qualified to enter Paradise on earth while Born Again are Christians who have qualified directly for everlasting life.

The difference:

Paradise is where all the dead who are good for resurrection will live for 1,000 years to prove they are good for eternal life so both righteous and the unrighteous will be resurrected in Paradise but those who are deliberately wicked will not be resurrected. Psalms 9:17

Everlasting life is where Satan and his demons can't have access to again so it begins with those who are going to stay with Christ Jesus in heaven after Satan has been driven away from heaven.

Now while Christians does different kinds of unharmful jobs to earn a living the Born Again ones among us doesn't think of material possessions because they are leaving it all when Jesus comes back to take them to heaven so all they have as inheritance is their fellow believers and sisters in Christ they have no net worth going by the world's standard.

Today your fake pastors keep deceiving you people claiming Born Again while they are desperate for material possessions!🙂
