Confusions all the ways. Islam is only the way.
Is Jesus a Christian? Did he knows about bible? He's not a confusionist. A prophet of God. Jesus God your God.

People are bound to condemn what they do not understand.
Typical language of native doctors a.k.a Senior Prophet Dr. and the occult inspiration-talking Pastors/ Bishops
What is there to understand in the sale of anointed water, armlets, mantle, calenders, stickers?
What is there to understand that people are tasked on bringing specific amount of seeds and items like coconut for prayers that Jesus will answer?
Why won't conservative Christians condemn the rascality introduced by these Pentecostal Bishops and overlords which by the way is contrary to the teachings of Jesus?
Other common phrases/sentences used by the rascals
1. Change Church if your Church does not change you. Of which the change alluded to magical answers to one prayer while other challenges that is common to other people persists
2. Your size of seed is your size of testimony and expected breakthrough
3. Your open doors or delusional connection to prosperity can only be found in your commitment to Papa's Ministry invariably people are condemned to slaving away for one Papa or another as workers
4. Your development and growth in Christianity made possible through your purchase of various materials for sale by Papa example comical videos and literatures authored by Papa/Mama
5. Your tithe is the trade in a Christian can give the Church of Bishop for freedom from sickness, poverty, discomfort and delayed answers to prayers by Jesus.

It's the place of the Holy Spirit and God to decide if a woman can be a minister or not... Paul was talking about the organization in the church... as per rowdiness during service... If a female is called by God to be a pastor, does she have a choice? Provided she is called, remember the Church is the body of Christ, so if the Holy Spirit singles out a woman for His purpose who are we to question it...

don't take it personal. there lot of things Christians practice nw that are not biblical.

Like tithe.
We are not practicing Christianity in Nigeria, it's all about money.

Swindle lazy people to enrich yourself. We still consult with pastors just like we used to consult Ifa priests.

All female ministres or pastors are either divorced women or pastor's wife because for the latter, it's family business.

Good analyses but genesis 5 vs 2 says male and female he made them that's enough to tell say God is not particular about the gender he made them all .if any woman has a gift of the spirit She should not be denied though i support the notion that she must be under a man's authority to caution her..

1Cor15v34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obesience, as also saith the law"... Does this mean (all) women in church should not talk/speak in d church? Let's verify by reading v35 "And if they(note this pronoun refers to women mentioned earlier in verse 34) will learn anything, let them ask their HUSBANDS(emphasis mine) at home..." V35 clarifies that d women v34 speaks of are married women in the church. What does this translate to? - A married woman in d church is not expected to speak(have conversation - to talk to somebody about something; to have a conversation with somebody) in d church, rather she is expected to ask(Question, I.e to say or write something in the form of a question in order to get information) her husband at home if and only if she wants to LEARN (to gain knowledge or skill by studying, from experience, from being taught) This means if a married woman is expected to LEARN at home and not in church... Thus she is expected to speak in church as long as what she wants to say is not of 'learning' SHALOM

what about Jesus, didn't he also convert from Judaism to Christainity? When did you think Christainity begun? During the time of Jesus, Saul was changed to Paul before Christainity started to exist
Christ is christainity personified, Christians are Christ-like, christainity started on the day of Pentecost,when the Holy Spirit descended on them,they spoke in tongues and converted people

most of the practice in the Bible were cultural practice of the Jews most especially in the old testament.

unbelievers gave you that name "Christain" and you said it's to distinguish between you and them? How?
Awwww...is that so? Whatever happened to research?
Now listen: The term 'CHRISTIANS' was first used in the new testament, Acts of the Apostles, 11:26. It was used when Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul (Paul). When he found him, he took him to Antioch, and for a whole year, the two met with the people of the church and taught a large group. It was at Antioch that the believers were first called 'CHRISTIANS'.
The 2nd mention of the word, was made in Acts of the Apostles, 26:28, where Herod Agrippa II replied Paul the Apostle. He said "In this short time, do you think you'll make me a Christian?"
The third and final new testament reference was in 1st Peter 4:16. It says, "however if you suffer because you're a Christian, don't be ashamed of it, but thank God that you bear Christ's name".
And because of the usage of this name, Popes starting from the reign of Saints Ignatius and Polycarp made it a standard term of referring to Christ's followers.
The church of Saint Peter near Antioch (modern day Antakya) is the city were the disciples were first called " Christians". You could go to the city for confirmation. So you can see there's no place in which the Bible mentioned that unbelievers first called us Christians.

1 Corinthians 14:34
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

You guys should stop immortalising a verse of the scriptures. Are you aware that there is a prophetess in the Bible? Read this and see her work in the temple. Luke 2:36-39 King James Version (KJV)
"And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth".
In verse 38 she was speaking of salvation to those that need it.
Now to your verse of scripture same was repeated in 1 Timothy 2:11. Now follow me to read from verses 11-15 for more understanding.
1 Timothy 2:11-15 New International Version (NIV)
"A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety"
If you link it with your verse of scripture 1 Corinthians 14:34 you will discovered that there was no ambiguity in it. All its trying to communicate is total submission of a woman to her husband as Paul taught in many verses in his letters in the New Testament.
Verse 15 of 1Timothy 2 now cleared the air that in all this woman shall be saved through childbearing if steadfast in faith, love, holiness with propriety.
This grace has washed every set back that may limit a woman not to engage in her spiritual obligation as not to contradict what was said in Luke 2:36 that there is a place of prophetess.
The price that Jesus went to the cross to paid has broken every barrier against spiritual worship of mankind.

Brother, Why would Paul give the 'Corinthian Church' a 'Jewish' Law?


SOME OF PAUL’S EPISTLES ARE HIS OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS BORNE OUT OF HIS PAST PHARISSE LIFESTYLE

...For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers -Gal.1:13-14

...But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. – Acts 23:6

I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. – Acts 22:3

...Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;…Phill.3:4-5

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. – 2Cor.8:8
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. – 1Cor.7:6

...But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. – 1Cor.7:12

...Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. – 1Cor.7:25

-Peace.

Islam has been before Christianity. Islam simply means, submission to the will of the Almighty.
Abraham submitted. So did Noah, lot, isaac,joseph, David Solomon, Jesus. They were all Muslims because they submitted. Hope you understand?
