Christianity Etc › Re: A Rejoinder On Why I Left Christ Embassy Church By Marchman by sledge001(m): 9:34pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
God bless you brother. Pay no attention to all these people talking about what they know not. Don't forget, the carnal minded can not understand spiritual realities so, no matter how much you explain they still can't figure out. jared007: https://www.nairaland.com/3895448/why-left-christ-embassy-church
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household (Matt 10: 36)
As a believer in Christ I was tempted to ignore Marchman but I had to write this reply to encourage Christ Embassy members especially the 'children' in particular and true Christians of different denominations in general.
Now concerning Marchman, going through his previous threads on Nairaland and the titled thread on why he left Christ Embassy i concluded he was never a true member of Christ Embassy or a christian but a Wolf among the Sheep. No true Christian goes to the media to write lies against his biological family, local church or other churches no matter how offended he is. This is why Muslims are more United than Christians.
Now to counter some points he made which I quoted in bold. For example he typed "They tend to believe literally that everything answers to money
It is written in Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. Yes money answers everything. You need to read publications and messages on seed faith. Am not ignorant of the fact that some of our leaders might be over zealous in trying to hit a target by tasking someone to give but never have i been forced by my leaders against my will to give. Christ Embassy projects are of high quality and numerous in reaching the unsaved and inspiring right living and they aren't cheap. I believe Donnie and Joagbaje can assist with images of our numerous programmes and projects.
"You are also charged to give for Pastor Chris birthday
The trash you wrote up there could only be written by a selfish man because according to the following verse of scriptures: Gal 6: 6-10 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
The only time we are opportune to sow into Pastor Chris anointing is during his birthday which is just once in a year. Marchman pls tell me how else we can honour or communicate to our pastor?
"The church is obsessed with money. They do not mind how or where you get it"
Yea we are obsessed with money because of numerous projects that must be done before Jesus returns to rapture us. Why shouldn't we use money to serve God well now when it will be useless when we leave this earth? CE is interested in the job you do and ur financial abilities so your belief that we don't mind how we raise the money exist in your own imagination. I can't remember Jesus asking those Jews who were giving in the Temple where they got their money from. He didn't ask the widow too who gave her mites. Marchman u need to be cured of ur poverty mentality.
"Sin means nothing at Christ Embassy"
I don't know where you got this belief from because CE always frowns at any member that sins including an open rebuke. Some of our members that were caught in the act of fornication were excommuincated from the rest of the brethren and were told to sit at the back of the the church for each service till restitution. I ve witnessed this more then once. Scriptural readings from 1cor 5: 9-13 are read to the erring members.
Pastor Chris talks about sin, righteousness, heaven and hell but you don't know because you thought it's only Sunday services Pastor preaches to us. Pastor preaches to us everyday through Rhapsody of realities, tapes, cds, vcds, dvds, mp3 and software platforms. When you lay much emphasis telling people not to sin that's when they will sin the more because it's the nature of man to sin when you tell him not to. Rom 7:15-20.
Saying Pastor Chris was accussed of fornication without any proof or evidence I won't bother to reply you on that.
"Pastor Chris is the orthodoxy"
According to 1st Cor 11:1 it says Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. So what's wrong if we always make reference to him and follow him?
You said "No one can challenge Pastor Chris." How can you challenge him? Where you the one that called him? He answers to the one that called him and only God shall reward or judge him not you.
You also said "He tries to change verse of scriptures by rewriting them?
You are filled with hatred because Pastor only lays emphasis on the original bible manuscripts which was written in Hebrew and Greek. How many study bibles have you read in your life? How many times have you even read your king James from back to back? Let your heart judge you.
As for your other rambling that I haven't countered I leave them for other Christ Embassy members to take care of.
Cc Joagbaje, Donnie, Gombs, Zionmade pls ur input is needed to encourage those children in Christ that might have gotten discouraged in serving God because of Marchman. |

9icetoo: I know someone who used one and he absolutely hated it. was in and out of the mechanic. however I see some around pH but don't know if they still have their original engines in them. the pix u posted looks like the facelift of that model. before u buy that car make sure u scan. it is a Volkswagen and comes with Volkswagen problems (electrical issues). if you spot wires snaking around the engine bay or burnt fuse box, flee. check the wires that run under the carpet close to the drivers side, make sure it is free of corrosion. if its an auto, test drive extensively before parting with your money. things you may replace regularly when u buy the car are mostly electrical motors like glass and wiper motors as well as door actuators. its a slow car by the way. I used a 2000 Skoda 1.6i and it's a fabulous ride. Doesn't have much issues. @9icetoo the car is not slow jare. Mine had a small engine 1.6i and yet was quite fast. |

Christianity Etc › Re: The Second Coming: A Failed Prophecy??? by sledge001(m): 3:45pm On Jul 26, 2015 |
Reiyvinn: Being a Christian is really one hell of a job.
Aside the Church-bound duties required of "true" Christians (which are often quite inconvenient and demanding), one mustn't ignore the emotional, mental and psychological War that goes on in the mind of those one who are quite knowledgable or well versed with the Bible.
Trying hard to resist the doubts they tend to encounter is the order of the day for those who read wide and do lots of research in an aim to either justify or investigate their long-held faith. I was no exception.
Ranging from the bloodstained Old Testament to Scientific ludicrosities, Blatant absurdities to historical flaws, authenticities and many many more, I couldn't help giving Doubt a chance.
About this time last year, I wrote a piece here on Nairaland: Questions That Baffle Me About God and even though it never made frontpage, I'm glad it had the amount of audience it did.
Now I'm here with something quite troubling; something a logical mind should find really really disturbing.
I remember having a dialogue with a Pastor friend some weeks ago when he was on an outreach preaching about the Second Coming of Christ and why everyone should "mend their ways".
I can't quite remember his reaction when I asked "Don't you think this Jesus is taking too long? Are you sure he's coming at all?"
but I do remember him sarcastically replying me by saying "Uhmm.... Our Lord is warming up his whips for strongheads like you, so chill..."
Well, I chuckled. But then, I needed him to go into his Bible to see for himself why I asked such a question, so I directed him to Mark 13:30 which states:
". . .this generation will by no means pass away until these things happen. . ." (with "these things" referring to the end time, tribulation and the Second Coming talked about in the preceding verses).
He laughed. "Cheap!" He said.
"You don't understand Greek so you wouldn't know" (hehehehe does he understand Greek? Well.... I wouldn't know either lol)
"The word 'generation' in Greek is 'genea' which Lexicons define as 'people of the same kind' so from Acts 11:26, we can tell whom these people are. They are Christians, which means Christ-like. So Christians will never pass away until the Son comes". He concluded.
That was amazing. Perfect wordplay. However, the context of this passage made it clear that it literally referred to those still alive at the time. He refused; holding still to his explanation. Then I took him to Matthew 16:28 which states:
"Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom." (also found in Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27)
His face didn't look so bright afterwards even though he tried making me take his explanation for an answer and how I needed the Holy Spirit to understand certain passages and so on, it was obvious that he was well aware of these passages and the problems the pose and willingly ignored them for fear of doubt (I once did that too). So he never expected it to be used in a dialogue with him. He obviously didn't research on it the way he should have and that's the same thing most Christians do today. Their fear of doubt has amounted to their fear of knowledge and information and honestly, it's really unfortunate.
Now, back to the passage, we all know that everyone "standing [t]here" are now dead, buried and forgotten (that's assuming Jesus even existed)
So what does that make of the Second Coming? A Failed Prophecy or not?
Let's be honest with ourselves.
Thank you. Hmm. You really make me laugh. If you were ever really a Christian, you would never have written these things above. Anyway, you need to remember the fact that the Bible is not a story book or some historical book you just pick and flip through. Just like your friend told u, you will never understand what is written there in no matter how simple it seems, without the Holy Spirit (there I go again right?). The things of the spirit are foolishness to the carnal minded. My dear friend, there is a second coming. @Jollyjoy, you don't believe things just because you were told or you have grown up hearing same. You believe because you have a conviction from the depth of your heart. |
