MaxInDHouse:Guess what? I heard the Holy Spirit, made a comment about many Nairalanders this morning, saying: "They can only quote scriptures, THEY DON'T LIVE BY IT" "Lobatan" Just exactly what I said about Manny Nairalanders few hours ago on this thread You people need to be born again, and STOP faking to be Christians. I'm sorry to say, YOU PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT JESUS / GOD. NOTHING IS HOLY ABOUT YOU GUYS. YOU BETTER EMBRACE JESUS CHRIST NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. HELL FIRE IS REAL OOOOOOOOOOO |

RhemaJet7:Hey, Paul allegedly wrote the God-breathed verse in 2 Timothy 3:16. But he wasn't a witness over any of the scriptures. Even the ones he wrote still has words like these in red: To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord):If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 1 Corinthians 7:12 Are all scriptures still God-breathed? And what does "I, not the Lord" mean above? Secondly,.the first verses of Luke has already exposed this! Many were just writing what they heard, investigated and received from unnamed eyewitnesses! No holy spirit or God-breathed anything! Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. Luke 1:1-4 |

AntiChristian:I'm sorry I don't know scriptures, BUT I KNOW GOD DEARLY, living a sanctified life. I think that's what matters. The Kingdom of God is not in words but in POWER By the grace of God, I walk in power and dominion. I am glad I glory in Holy Spirit |

Where is the location of Hell fire?😂 |

The idea of spiritual father is a myth. You're not in the Saint Paul era where the bible and gospel is new and unprecedented. You people are now business conglomerate pretending to be spiritual fathers. |
| Re: Can A Believer Have More Than One Spiritual Father? by Precious201010(m): 11:32am On Apr 19 |
The answer is NO, the same way U can't have more than one biological father.... What many of us calls spiritual father today is actually mentors..... Your spiritual father is one who first led U to Christ and nurtured U. |

RhemaJet7:Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. You have only one spiritual Father. The "Father of spirits" is God. Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? |

There's nothing like human spiritual father. God is the only spiritual father of a child of God. No Christian is a child of his pastor spiritually |

RhemaJet7:There's nothing like spiritual father. Only God is the spiritual father of his children. Pastors are care takers not even guidian |

RhemaJet7:grammatical not having many fathers isn't equal to saying you must have only one father. Being a father is liken to being a founder, there can be one founder or multiple founders We only have one spiritual father, who is God Almighty, yet we have other men who play the roles of fathers in our lives, our biological fathers inclusive. |
| Re: Can A Believer Have More Than One Spiritual Father? by Image123(m): 12:20pm On Apr 19 |
Why are we arguing of inconsequential things. Our Father who art in Heaven. Great to have mentors you probably call fathers or mothers. But making a doctrine of it? SMH |
| Re: Can A Believer Have More Than One Spiritual Father? by Gracious3105(m): 12:59pm On Apr 19 |
No one deserves to be called a father among the bethern. It was clear from Jesus Words. If Paul erroneously call himself a father that is for him as he was human and could make mistakes

Gracious3105:Thank you. GOD in heaven is my father. Making anyone else my father means I am a grandchild of GOD. Meanwhile GOD has given us the opportunity to be HIS sons and daughters. |

RhemaJet7:Yes it is allowed to have multiple spiritual fathers to enable you cross check facts during prophecies. |

It is very interesting, seeing many Nairalanders, washing their dirty linen in public, arguing blindly that THERE IS NOTHING CALLED HUMAN SPIRITUAL FATHER. They keep quoting scriptures they don't understand. I have told them severally that, they can't fully understand the scriptures, except with the help of the Holy Spirit to interpret it for them for better UNDERSTANDING, but they remained headstrong, keep teaching FALSE DOCTRINE, leading people astray. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I repeat, below, is the real scripture for Spiritual Fatherhood: 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

Read Matthew 23 vs 8. This will change your thinking about all you have just wrote. moreso, read the entire Matthew 23 so that you will not be like those Jesus is talking about in the Chapter. RhemaJet7: |

Lol! I wonder where you lot are getting all these false teachings from! Lol .So you can't relate or have a direct intimate relationship with God Himself and be covered? You only receive spiritual covering only when you have a spiritual father ! Very funny. May God Have mercy on us. RhemaJet7: |

RhemaJet7:All the passage you quoted, none addresses Paul as spiritual father The phrase 'spiritual father' is a scam used to cheat in the christendom |
| Re: Can A Believer Have More Than One Spiritual Father? by femi4: 6:16pm On Apr 19 |
RhemaJet7:Spiritual fatherhood is a false doctrine. Not taught by Jesus , Peter or Paul. There is no mediator between man and God apart from Jesus. Every letter of Paul always point believers to Jesus' teachings 1cor 1: 11-17 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[a]”; still another, “I follow Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. |

RhemaJet7:If someone ask you to mention the name of your church you will say you are a Christian and that's all. Ọmọ they are all Christians like you too after all none of you wants to mention the name of his or her church!😀 |

And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Mathew 23:9 |

If Established Institutions like Pastor E A Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo and the rest can say THEY HAVE SPIRITUAL FATHERS, how on earth will you people say there is nothing like Human Spiritual Father? Below, is the link where Pastor E A. Adeboye mentioned the name of his Spiritual Father https://www.nairaland.com/5624063/uma-ukpai-spiritual-father-pastor |
