Someone who makes Christ his Example.

Really? That's going to be a problem, because the Jesus Character is full of numerous contradictions and inconsistencies. He's a protean personality, capable of being all things to all men, having provided conflicting quotations for nearly every conceivable position, good and evil, senseless and sensible, foolish and wise, ridiculous and aweinspiring, dumb and...... MAYBE smart?

A number of people, however, choose to cherrypick his teachings by taking some positive aspects at face value, like bennyann who emphasises and deeply identifies with the love, love, love aspect of it. You might want to be her kind of Christian - although, naive, it's remarkably HEALTHIER than the nauseating alternatives. But that by no means imply that there's a clear-cut definition of what true Christianity actually means, for the numerous contradictions and conflicting teachings found in the scriptures guarantee that Christianity will be all things to all men. Even Jesus Christ himself was a [color=darkblue]walking, talking, notoriously inconsistent mass of contradictions[/color].

People you call false Christians can equally call you the same, and give scriptural backing for their positions, even though yours are just as scriptural. Isn't that confusing? This was one of my first problems with Christianity.

lol.... I was only trying to say the truth as it is. Naivety isn't an exactly negative quality when referred to in a more naunced manner, viewed from the prism of your kind of thinking. But it's just that this world is so terrible it's not perfect for your kind of gospel. You'll be eaten alive by the malevolent monsters around if you follow your philosophy to its logical conclusion [a friend of mine was talking about using the power of love to combat the Jihadist, but he'll have his head hacked off within seconds if he goes to Afghanistan to attempt something like that], something the very Jesus who taught it hypocritically failed to do.

Although that doesn't mean it's bad, the world isn't ready for those kind of teachings yet. A great deal of things need to be put in place before it can work, and I sincerely hope that time comes soon, 'cause I have nothing against it, afterall, the teaching isn't unique to Jesus.

Everything said about Ononye here is nothing but fabrications and the others happened on the @ops imagination @nweze you are my friend and will still be .but I will advocate peace in this matter because the Bible told us to pursue with all men.i will not defend Ononye here because God will vindicate him at the end.

now I wonder why the bucal cavity don't have normal size, many talk what they don't know, I no blame y ear is always open @least ur talk will not be in vain. but take this into advisement: pastors are not just people u can talk or post about them. OK happy sunday

Let's hear from the Pastor too before we can jump to conclusion.

Ononye was all you accused him of and yet Ebonyi state Government gave him two appointments at once,he opened school which was flooded with people until it was closed down by your people forcing over a. Thousand Ebonyi children home at the pike of the term.Ononye has never been convicted by any court of law except in your own court @nweze were you are the presecutor and the judge at the same time.

We have to be wise you know. As sheep, we don't go looking for lions except that's the only option at the time. That doesn't mean I should turn my love to hatred during such violent times.

Let wisdom lead.
Do the best to Defend your friends and family.
Defend yourself if you can.
Life isn't a big deal to me at all, but as I live I have to make it worthwhile to those close to me and others.
And you have no idea how good one feels when you forgive the one through whom the greatest hurt come to you.

This kind of love and selflessness, I learnt it from Jesus. Though you said it's not unique to Him but to me it is.

It's a stupid love right?

I'm not giving up on you in my own way.. Soon we'll meet.

Indeed. We'll meet soon, hopefully. As long as we both live. And I believe we will.

bla bla bla .......... he said he know d truth, story! story!! story!!! listen children no dey here again. hahahahaha I wonder if u know the truth about urself.

dokiOloye:
Ebonyi state govt propaganda machine on overdrive, seeking to sink a former political ally.
If U are not living in Ebonyi or conversant wt Ebonyi politics,thread softly on this particular news.
I'm not saying d pastor is a saint but as we all know,he was a political ally of d governor till recently when they fell apart and this present government has a well oiled propaganda machine,that is why Ebonyi is always on d news since of recent.

this news opened my eyes
our governor can sponsor any thing
see lies on top lies
any there's reward to liars lying against men and men of God
although am not a fan to any man of God but I knew this is a fabricated lies

Forevergood:
I once attended his program @ ishieke campus in 2011 during my school days at Ebonyi state university... hmmmm nawa ooo

don't mind this lying journalists he fell out with our governor, the man of God is his spiritual director before we could know what's happening we are reading this on news
the propaganda of Ebonyi government is too that's why we are always on the news

goziedave:
pls do well to pass these message to the writer mr poster. I didn't read the artilcle because as a resident in Abakaliki the state capital of ebonyi I knoe to the best of my knowledge evangelist Ononye have been in good standing relationship with gov. umahi and he was the leader of divine mandate team of ministers of GOD which prayed for umahi's victory at the polls in 2015. now because of small issues with the governor, the gov. and his media aides have been trying to tarnish the mans image, and even closed down his ministry, stripped him of all his govt posts. the trend in Ebonyi now is if you go against the governor he will send youths loyal to him after, so tell mr Philip Nweze to stop tarnishing the image of Onoye.

as an ebonyian I knew what is happening in my state
he prayed for his victory he can also pray for his failure of his down fall

Nweze1986:
React to the issue on ground and stop showing us your hatred for Umahi led administration.

this is the worst thing you have done to your self am not afraid of U or Dave but u have messed your self up by wanting to tarnish the image of the Man of God with lies We ebonyians are many on Nairaland u think we are not many here u most be joking
he prayed for his victory he can also pray for his failure or down fall
come up with another lies

No 8 rule of nairaland is and Iquote 'don't post false information on nairaland' Philip Nweze, Governor Dave Nweze Umahi's relative, you are so wicked by posting this unbelievable thing against a man that didn't do anything to you. The worst is that you and I know the truth about the whole issue and you chose to gain cheap popularity by tarnishing somebody's image in a wide spread social media like this. See Oga, God will pay you back in the same coin. Your name one day will be rubbished the same way mark it. That is law of karma must visit you. So you people knew all these things about Ononye and your Governor gave him a very high seat in his government until Ononye told him the truth about his selfish and devilish activities in his government and told him that him Ononye will not be a party to it and all of you now remembered that Ononye is a criminal, rapist, ritualist, kidnapper etc. So all of you have been eating and dinning with a devil, so you all are devils and should be killed same. Your Governor out of wickedness closed down his church and school over night just to lure him back to his dirty games. God has exposed you people. You think we are fools that you can come here and post any nonsense and force us to believe you. Why can you people leave this man and face the problems of Ebonyians. Ononye prophesied to the Governor about his becoming the Governor in 2015 and organized prayer teams for the Governor and he was called a very wonderful pastor, gave him positions in his government and when prophesied about his not continuing so that Ebonyians will not suffer, the governor over night ordered for him to be killed and with the use of police in the middle of the night closed down his ministry and his school without notice. And to cover his crimes because people are against his wickedness towards Ononye brought out a lot of lies against his long time used to be friend. And he is using people like you to carry out his plans. Go and tell him the Governor that we know the truth. You people didn't succeed in deceiving people of Ebony again that is why you are here. You people have failed and will keep failing. The world is watching youoooo!

This nwoke Obosi again! I sawhim about two decembers ago at his hometown, where I grew up, somehow I felt something was wrong with him. And the stories his kinsman told me about him werent testimonial.
