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.

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.

But can that god of men swear say he no kpansh those ladies they can't all be lying against him. meanwhile he's busy doing damage control and reversing curses like say na motor

You just kinda wished that all the allegations against Apostle Suleiman is true sha. My question is, what do you stand to gain?
And your words above "they can't all be lying against him" ok, I can't but just wish u experienced conspiracy and blackmail in its purest form. Only then will u get to understand some things from a different perspective.

You would have just stuck to your immorality and ponography defence or points. Why did you bring Pastors and Imams into this? Did they sponsor the program? No. Did they admonish their followers to watch the program? No.... and on and on.
I don't understand how people reason these days. It's like mentioning Pastors, tithes.... is the greatest ingredient to any story or opinion now. There's something called "free will" , that is why God does not coerce anyone to be morally upright, do the right things, be sincere.....

Detain him on what grounds? It's because of people like u that we have issues in this country. We should all keep mute and be sitting ducks for fulano herdsmen abi? Get a life please

shamful pastor if u want to join policy go and join stop all ur rubish,sulaiman should contest 2019

Mallam, what exactly is the bone of contention here. The MOG simply registered his displeasure of the senseless killings by Fulani herds men and u people are just ranting. I am beginning to think that this whole herd men saga is a plan by you abokis. We'll get this into your thick skull, we Christians are tired of being sitting ducks. You guys need to get your brains checked. If you're tired of living among normal humans you can go into the bush and dwell with animals cos that's what qualifies your attitudes. Smhhh. Because the Apostle converted from Islam to Christianity! !!!! Nonsense

Hey, terrorism is the main focus that's why he's at that region. Unfortunately, a lot of people from the northernnorthern region still sympathize with the terrorists in the name of religion. Whatever happened to morality

Do you know, there are over 5000 religions and over a million Gods. YOur god is just one of them
So, i dare your God to strike me down with thunder and banish my soul into hell, if he cant do this small thing, then he should forever remain silent for he is impotent and powerless

Becareful what you wish for. Luckily for you however, my GOD doesn't have to strike you down to prove he's real. You may be right there are over 5000 gods but my GOD is bigger than them all. The earlier you recognize this fact, the better for you. At the mention of the name of JESUS, every knee must bow and every tongue confess that he is indeed GOD. The truth is, every other god knows this simple truth except blind pips like yourself.

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.

Hey! It's very true Owls are just birds and the Pastor may be wrong but, stop blasphemy against CHRIST. If you have any reasonable contributions just make them sensibly.

oga park one side..you have no idea of what you are saying.. who is apostle Suleiman to say someone else Will die?

me am a Christian I stay in sabo (Kaduna) and I support the bill..all dis churches should learn how not to disturb one's peace...

You sef, park one side. If you really think that Churches are a disturbance to you as a Christian then, I feel really sorry for you*get ur brain checked*. What about the prayer calls by our brothers several times in a day? Will there be equity in the application of this law?Infact, is El rufai truthful in his intent? **talking about Christians making up only about 34% of KD populace. No one is in support of public disturbance, what &what is to be classified as public disturbance. Rufai should thread carefully.

Chai! This babe is wickeeeed. See punchline

Wow!! So awesome. Simple and complete.

Don't mind thus dude. He's not a serious business man. Posting an advert with no price tag and filing up the whole space with his available bxxxshxxxt. Keeping waiting for the calls ok!!!

If it is going to involve a more subtle social crusade in terms of jingles and strengthening of our institutions to carry our their statutory functions devoid of interference from any fool's body language . . . . then am in full support of it . . . . . .[/quote]As much as I don't support harassment and in human treatment of citizens, we all know that that jingles ain't gonna do sxhxit. The level of lawlessness in our dear country is too alarming. I don't even like Buhari as a person but war against in discipline is a highly welcomed development. If we have proscribed punishments for offenses then law breakers should be ready to face the music. Animal behaviour begets animal treatment, while humanly behaviour begets respect and warm treatment. That's all.

GAZZUZ... HMM what can I say? He simply outstanding and very knowledgeable at what he does. So passionate and a true professional. Felt kinda bad when he had to leave bauchi. And for the dude asking about price, wouldn't u rather get your car well fixed at a higher price than patronize road side mechs that'll just complicate things further? Much respect Gazzuz!! One Love

CuckoldMaster:
If Buhari steps down, Yorubas will be sad. Buhari must rule and must Islamise the whole of South West. All Churches in the South West must be converted into mosques. Buhari's wish for Sharia must come to pass and all the Yoruba slaves must convert to Islam.

Don't be silly. Buhari's wish to Islamize Nigeria will never come through in this life and that to follow by the Grace of God Almighy.

Nigerians, is English language that hard to comprehend? The caption does not fit the post at all. Modenine said he likes the song but that they were just "clowning around" which does not imply that they are clowns. Infact, all of you throwing stones @modenine in response to this post are clownsclowns . Roger that!!

This guy is crazy. What kind of dressing is this ?

Bros I tire ooooo . He looks like a clown

It is rather unfortunate that most Nigerians prefer to be treated like animals. There too many lawless people in this country. The punishment is rather hash but this is the only law some people abide by and it should serve as a deterrent to others who think and behave like that Danfo driver. I bet you this man would act respectfully and responsibly when he's in another country, even Benin republic just @ our back yard, he dear not disobey the law. Common policemen will clear his doubts. FELLOW NIGERIANS PLS LET'S BE LAW ABIDING AND RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE OUR DEAR COUNTRY A GREATER AND BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. One Love

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.
