italo: We Catholics also wonder how the Church has survived all the hatred, envy and persecution fron the biggest and most powerful human institutions in the world.

Then we hear Jesus whisper those words again:

"The gates of hades shall not prevail against you."

"I will be with you until the end of the age."

And our hearts are relaxed.

CAMEROONPRIDE: again God is Catholic and all our teachings come from him. He founded the Catholic church and it is here to stay forever. I see how it pains u. Tell how old is your church? 6months ? 1year do u sometimes speak in tongues?

CAMEROONPRIDE: God is Catholic, maybe that's why u hate and envy us so much . Our teachings come straight from God.deal with it

Babzilla: MY 1ST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS WAS WHEN I WAS IN BOARDING SCHOOL
THIS MOG GUY AFTER HIS SERMON PROCEEDED TO LAY HANDS ON US
I SWEAR HE PUSHED ME, NOT HARD ENOUGH TO MAKE ME FALL ANYWAY
I REGAINED MY BALANCE
AFTERWARDS SOME MEMBERS OF THE FCS LEADERSHIP GOT ME IN A CORNER
AND BEAT THE LIVING SHITE OUT OF ME. MY OFFENCE
THEY SAID I WANTED TO 'EMBARRASS THE MAN OF GOD'
ACCORDING 2 THEM I WAS SUPPOSED TO FALL
I WAS 5 FT SCRAWNY LOOKING KID

MY 2ND EXPERIENCE WAS ABOUT 11 YEARS LATER WHEN I WENT TO SOME CHURCH ( NAME WITHHELD)
THE PREACHER TRIED THE SAME SHITE. I DIDNT FALL, NO ONE HIT ME
DIDNT THINK THEY WOULD... NOT WHEN A U'RE A MEAN LOOKING 6FT 3IN 110KG DUDE

idnoble135: Nothing hurts some folks like the cost involved. I have said it before and say it again, if he want to expand to ten million, how is that anybody's business?
Am sure if it were to be estimated, Solomon spent much more than this. And God did not complain.
I thought this issue is past, lemme reduce my epistle then.
He has no query to answer before anyman. The Op has given a good biblical illustration. I have also spoken on it on another thread.
No body except God can stop the building.

Pastor Kun: Olodo trust you to come out and defend all the wrong practises going on in churches. If they were just planning an expansion the outrage won't be this much rather they are planning to build a brand new auditorium at a ridiculous cost so that they can accommodate more people in their annual convention. A once a year unnecessary activity

i dare any catholic to quote at least one scripture to support his or her claims.

striktlymi: What on Earth are you talking about

striktlymi: I understand some of the complaints people put forth...

1) The building he has currently, can take upto a million people, I think.

2) There are other RCCG Churches all about, hence there is no pressing need to build a bigger one because the people have other places of worship.

Goshen360: Ladies and Gentlemen,

Which anointing are people falling under? Scripture says the 'anointing' is within you, 1 John 2:27. This anointing is nothing other than the Holy Spirit. It used to come upon people in the Old testament but now resides in us, believers. When people say they fall under anointing of a laying of hands of a moG, where is that coming from where the same Holy Spirit reside in you?

Goshen360: Now, that is different from when in worship or deep praises to God and the glory is over-whelming. That's the work of the Holy Spirit within you. The glory of God is so strong and can over-whelm a believer and in such case, one can bow in worship, cry, shout and even lay\roll on the floor by themselves without no one touching them or laying hands on them

Goshen360: not that the Holy Spirit knocking people down when a moG touches them or blow some breeze in the microphone and say Holy Ghost, MOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE. That's nonsense and insult to the Holy Spirit because which Holy Ghost are you telling to move? Was he standing still as he's already present in the gathering of believers? Are Pastors the ones to command the Holy Spirit to move when scripture says gifts of the Holy Spirit operates as the Spirit will?

Goshen360: Check all those falling in scriptures, it's either they are demon possessed (in these cases, demons at about to get out knocks them them) or those who by reference to the overwhelming glory of God, bow in worship. Most of these people are not even Christians. The Holy Spirit is not a monster knocking people down rather, one of the fruit of the Spirit is SELF CONTROL.

Ishilove: I have something, though I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'The Call'.

Distractions and oppositions. Let me stop there.

Ishilove: Funny enough it isn't painful. The chair scattering part is as a result as a loss of control over your body. The 'catchers' are usually too far when it happens, so you are at liberty to scatter the chairs around you and trod on a few toes while you're at it .

The temptation to remain 'slain' is there, but eventually, you slowly recover and you have no choice but get up. In my case, I felt shaken to my bone marrows on various occasions, and on one particular occasion, my hands vibrated non-stop for close to forty minutes. After that day, my spiritman was renewed and I felt like three women. However, the cares and troubles of this world distracted me and slowly supressed the fire...and you know the rest
