Her point is simply God checks the heart. This message is to many Nigerians. The religionists. We see them in church but evil in heart. It’s all about motives. How can you be a Christian and you are happy to see your neighbor suffer. Ever wondered why the western world keeps developing, it’s because the ones that seek God, seek him in truth and spirit but here, we are more hypocrites. Typical example of the pharisee |

Atiku2019: Yeah, am curious about that because my Grandm's got one too! And what about facial tribal marks commonly practiced jejely in Nigeria since "before-before"? And did Jesus come to abolish/destroy the socicultural identification markers of different cultures all over the world or what? Are all the native cultural practices (I.e. dress codes, eating habits, menu, lifestyle choices/options, artistic & musical expression forms etc) of the world supposed to be given up so we can be made into cleverly cloned copies of Exodus_Leviticus/Deuteronomy_Numbers ( the Jews) OR our the Whitman who brought the #Gospel to us? Just how much of the White Man's convictions and confusions (both Ancient and Recent) have we/are we absorbing/accepting/assimilating as #$cripturalSoundDoctrine #DivinelyInspiredRevelation #TheLifeChangingWordOfGod? [Remember, these same #BibleBelieving Whites once believed that even though #Genesis stood as the #Final_Authority in explaining #CreationOfMan_InHisOwnImage, the #Origin of the #Blackman still was in doubt as to originating from that same source as the #WhiteMan's? #BibleThumpingPreachers sanctioned #Slave_Trade, destroyed #IndigenousCultures, winked at #$lavingExpeditions and even owned #$lave_Plantations treating other men, the glorious creation of Yahweh like animals. Remember Martin Luther King? And the #ChurchGoing_WhiteAmericanGovernment who had him killed off? And for what? Like Elijah, at the Mount Sinai, Whites have always missed God from time to time, but the real questions are: 1. Just Who is God (who do men say I am?) 2. Who is this God To Us (who do You say I Am)? [How do you Identify with Divinity] {What Gaps Does He Fill In your Existence... as a person, a congregation, a race?) ...I guess we really missed it, big time, around that side? Nigerian Christians are just follow-follow folks with very little self-discovery or conviction-driving, life-changing, #PersonalDivineEncounters to reference their personalities, decisions or directions around... just a bunch of hopeful, miracle-seekers, walking by sight, by #half-truths, #BentDoctrines, #BorrowedCultures instead of walking by the #Faith in the #GloriousLight of the #Word! It explains a lot, even the country, as a messed up unit! PS Now, I ain't tryna start an e-Fight or something but I know that "prophets-are- relevant-to-their-generation" and continuously not being able to find the right expectations of God's Word for us in our times means we will not be able to distill the eternal truths of the #Word into contemporary applications for the modern man! Hence, we won't deliver ourselves or deliver to our generation as proper! That ladies & gentlemen, is the real issue! 1 Like 3 Shares |

JimaeChinko:I studied history and I know very well Jesus Christ wasn't white. I know also the Holy Bible we read now that some scroll have been missing due to war and various hazard. The British Empire and the church of latter day saint is responsible for the wide spread of Christianity around the globe through colonialism and expansion. The west fought holy wars using Christianity to further their propaganda. King James played a major influence in Christianity same with Rome and The Spanish empire. Africa had never encountered Christianity until the British expenditure discovered this "forsaken world", in the white man words. With time we've turned ourselves into fanatics while the white man applies practical thinking to further expand his territories, growth and development. So next time you quote me don't act like a religious fanatic. Thank you 2 Likes |

bedspread:If you know how many laws that are in that thing you're talking about, you will know that you have been brainwashed. Open that book of the Bible and read with your brain open. Be ready to stone the woman who commits adultery... Be ready to stop using certain clothing materials to sew your clothes... Etc. My guy, go and get your brain back from that pastor that brainwashed you! Christianity is an extention of a Middle East religion. They all have similar history. |

Newboss:Did you see me mention that Tattoo was African or western? The native Americans used tattoos to mark themselves cause it was both spiritual and traditional pride, the Hawaiian also uses tattoos even their chiefs wear it proudly, Africans also uses tattoos. However in time Christianity have preached to us that those with tattoos are condemned to hell. Whereas it's an age long practice and even some people in the Bible draw tattoos for various mean of identification. So next time you quote me read well before you type garbage bags from your head. I doubt you can even read, I recommend you buy Macmillan text books on reading. Have a nice day |

So called religious people pray and do all the basics but have very bad characters and attitudes that they don't care to change. I've noticed this as SUCH a widespread thing. I know what I faced when I followed the religious people, though following God is not about putting your faith in other humans. |
Re: Joyce Meyer Defends Tattoos, Says She Might Get One To Make Religious People Mad by purples25(f): 2:29pm On Mar 30, 2018 |
They think they can't be called to order once they are praying and doing other religious requirements. Do all the basics and leave your character to rot. And they are very proud , arrogant and look down very much upon others. And they listen to no one , just stride above everyone else because they are active in church. |

eleojo23:Joyce and you are getting it wrong. I'm going the back up my point with an excerpt from Dan Brown's "the lost symbol", the author of " the da vinci code ", here it goes, "The one who called himself Mal'akh pressed the tip of the needle against his shaved head, sighing with pleasure as the sharp tool plunged in and out of his flesh. The soft hum of the electric device was addictive . . . as was the bite of the needle sliding deep into his dermis and depositing its dye. I am a masterpiece. The goal of tattooing was never beauty. The goal was change. From the scarified Nubian priests of 2000 B.C., to the tattooed acolytes of the Cybele cult of ancient Rome, to the moko scars of the modern Maori, humans have tattooed themselves as a way of offering up their bodies in partial sacrifice, enduring the physical pain of embellishment and emerging changed beings. Despite the ominous admonitions of Leviticus 19:28, which forbade the marking of one's flesh, tattoos had become a rite of passage shared by millions of people in the modern age--everyone from clean-cut teenagers to hard-core drug users to suburban housewives. The act of tattooing one's skin was a transformative declaration of power, an announcement to the world: I am in control of my own flesh. The intoxicating feeling of control derived from physical transformation had addicted millions to flesh-altering practices . . . cosmetic surgery, body piercing, bodybuilding, and steroids . . . even bulimia and transgendering. The human spirit craves mastery over its carnal shell." People delve into things without knowing how it came about. To God, the foundation is vital. John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" So, opposing the use of tattoos is not being religious, it's plainly ungodly. 1 Like 1 Share |

Immediately I read this I just knew those deeper life freaks will start ranting. But it's very sad that everyone practices religion these days and no one practices faith. Most religious Christians are just illiterates who think reading the Bible is about reading it word for word and not listening to tell Holy Spirit . Some unfortunate fellows are even calling her a false prophet. SMH. Well just so you know Joyce Meyer proved something here, that as long as you're religious you'll never experience grace. Read romans 8(intended for educated people in the spirit) Note: not wearing trouser or not using makeup is not an identity of a Christian 1 Like |

Blonchilli: A couple of lies spotted here and the father of all liars is the Devil who seeks to distort the truth and deceive many like he usually does. The Church of Latter Day Saints a.k.a Mormons(A cult in my opinion) didn't spread Christianity. Another erroneous lie from you is that Africa never encountered Christianity until the British expedition. I bet you never knew that Africa began to have contact with Christianity from the middle of the 1st Century in Egypt, Africa and that by the end of the 2nd Century Christianity got as far as the Carthage region(Present day Tunisia). I bet you also didn't know that some earliest influencers of Christianity(highly regarded) in it's early development were Africans like Cyprian, Augustine of Hippo, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origin also of Alexandria, etc. I guess you also don't know that there are numerous historical remains of earliest Christian Churches in Africa like the Church of Saint George, Lalibela in Ethiopia,etc and that it was actually the spread of Islam several years after Christianity was already operating smoothly. Islam in it's usual terror operating style that has remained unto this day SACKED and REDUCED several of these North Africa ORIGINAL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES like the Coptic Church(Egypt), Tewahedo Church in the Horn of Africa,etc. I guess you also don't know that the ISLAMIC TERRORIST UMAYYAD between AD 647-709 sacked and reduced several churches during his conquest of North Africa. I know also that there are several evidences of Christian mysticism as far as back as Ancient Africa where Africans like Montanus(2nd Century) were known to prophesy. As regards the Pervert(A topic for another day that needs to be treated) Prophet Muhammad being White and the long Arab Slave trade dealings of the Black man long before the White Man and which is still happening currently like in Libya, etc(Another topic for another day as I don't get why we keep blaming the White man when it is really the Arabs we need to be hating on as regards Slave Trade). The Arabs are the UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS of dealing in the Slave trade of the BLACK MAN long before the British Expedition or long before the White Man ever dealt in Slave Trade. I really don't k |
