There is absolutely something wrong with a great number of pastors these days. They pursue the wrong things. Did Jesus not give an illustration of who a shepherd should be? If there are 100 sheep and one should go astray, leave the 99 and bring back the one into the fold. But these pastors cannot leave the 99 maybe because the math does not add up for them. After all, 99 will bring in more money than the one that went astray. If Freeze used to actively attend a church and he should stop, it is the pastors responsibility to go after Freeze, because every single soul is important. Instead, they declare war on him. He has questions that need answers. Yet none of them responded. Instead they castigate him and try to shut him up. They go as far as trying to ostracize him. How on earth are they pastors. ?? Exactly what are they trying to achieve? Megalomaniacs!!! It is recorded in the Bible that God said we should come and reason with Him. So who is a pastor that one should not question? They forget that they are the servants of the people. Don’t they read the Bible? Have the forgotten the words and examples of Christ Jesus? Some will expect members of the congregation to lie down so they can step on them. It should be the other way round. The pastor should be at the gate of a church humbly welcoming members. The same thing that is wrong with leaders of the Nigerian government. They forget that they are public servants. They forget they are meant to serve and not to be served. |
imustmakeit:Bow down to who exactly? He is supposed to bow down to Christ and he says he already does that. So, please, who do you want him to bow down to? |
FruitCakes:i The he you mentioned may be your pastor. As for God, he definitely answers prayers. But most importantly, do you acknowledge God as your Heavenly Father? If not, why expect anything from Him? It is like you coming to my biological father and expecting him to do anything for you. My dad will definitely want to know on what basis you expect him to do anything for you. But as his child, I can even make demands, respectfully of course, and expect them met to the T. |
The employer thinks that poor equates humility. How wrong. In this country, it is usually the poorer the more arrogant. When you see a rich person being all arrogant, they usually started out dirt poor. |
chemystery:Who died and made you judge? You don’t determine what anyone chooses to believe. That you don’t understand it doesn’t make it ridiculous either. As for respect, you give only what you’ve got. You probably need to get a new attitude or develop some real respect for self and others. |
sKeetz:You don’t have to share the beliefs of others to respect them. |
Hoodbilonia:Did you see him with any cocaine? Haba! |
Are slippers not flip flops? What is wrong with wearing them to the mall? Is a mall not a place you go shopping or to relax? Is it a fancy restaurant with a dress code?After wearing shoes to work all week long, should one not relax? I believe the most important thing is they should be clean. People who are so concerned about impressing others are often those who are not impressive. When you know you don’t need to be impressive or need the validation of others, then you’re free. I wear slippers to malls all the time. I don’t drive with shoes, so I always have a pair of slippers with me. If I want to get something from the mall, I won’t start changing into a pair of shoes. No one has treated me badly because I’m in slippers. The girl in the op’s story, if she exists, has no couth. |
Forgave him for what exactly? If Buhari had not pushed him out, then someone else would have. Are we trying to rewrite history or what? According to our elders, the ineptitude and corruption of that government set the tone for .... It is needless to say the rest. |
ityP:PLEASE get a life. Stop living vicariously through others. |
lamidebaby:Her apology should be directed to the person she offended. I said she did not need to apologize publicly. Please get some compression skills and stop taking what I wrote out of context. Even if she did more than you’ve said, it does not make her worthless either. It makes her actions wrong. Stop acting like a self righteous prig who has never done anything wrong in her life. Even if you’re a virgin, you’ve probably told a lie before or hurt someone’s feelings inadvertently. Someone came out to apologize and yet your bashing of her can’t stop. What do you want? Blood? If she kills herself, will that please you? Please get out of my mentions. I’m reading nothing from you on this case. Nairaland armchair critics who have no compassion for others, when their own lives suck. |
WaffenSS:I started to read your comment until I got to the cockroach part, and I stopped. I’m not doing it. I won’t read it. Some of us are well balanced adults who are useful to ourselves and our community. You enjoy your misery. |
WaffenSS:Did you read anywhere I condoned her actions? Is she in anyway your responsibility or answerable to you? Why call her worthless? Do you feel so worthless, that you have to project your feelings onto others? She does not need to apologize publicly. Even if she is born again, her actions simply mean that she has gone against the principles of the faith she professes. It means that she made a wrong choice and did something wrong. It does not make her worthless. From your comments, it is obvious that you are not fit to mentor or father another human being. When they err, you don't correct them. You attack them verbally, and maybe physically. When you tell someone they are worthless, they give up trying to do the right thing. When you tell them their actions are wrong, then they can take a second look at their actions. But Mr. Hardliner doesn't know that. It is either your way or the highway. Your moral compass tells you fornication is wrong, but does not tell you that your querulous nature and insults are wrong. What a highly selective moral compass. You're quick to pull out the hoe tag and use swear words indiscriminately without your highly developed moral compass alerting you to the errors of your way. Maybe you need to exchange it with the compass of the girl in question. That is the one you tagged worthless. Here you are, on a nameless and faceless medium, like the little shrimp that you are, castigating someone who you don't know and you'll never know. As for your personal attacks, I find you a repulsive, belligerent and ignorant self righteous prig. |
WaffenSS:Nairaland is a place where we can air and share views, but you have been trying so hard to make it an exchange of insults. Enough of you and your negativity. |
WaffenSS:Did you read what you wrote? A moral compass without compassion and understanding breeds terrorism. |
WaffenSS:She should feel worthless because she, an adult, had sex with a consenting adult who is not married? The way you spew hatred tells me it isn’t about the actions of the girl at all. You have your issues. It is Christmas, try to be happy. |
bacilus:Please where in the Bible does it say ADam stayed for a long time before Eve was created? Does the Bible quantify or qualify the duration? Why do church goers keep trying to force the Bible to fit in with their views? Is there anywhere in the Bible that age difference between husband and wife was specified ? Haba! |
WaffenSS:I look at her actions as her actions and not mine. I know that I don’t have the right to shame her based on my own principles because she is not answerable to me. I won’t go round like a self righteous hypocrite castigating her and trying to make her feel worthless. |
ityP:I really don’t give a hoot about your assumptions. |
Sterope:Exactly what is her mistake? That she had sex? Is she not a consenting adult? Is she processing to be born again? Yes!!! She needs to blame whoever leaked the tape. |
WaffenSS:Does she owe you an apology for who she has sex with? Is she your wife or daughter? Are you not sexually active? Who do you apologize to? Who ever leaked that tape is the one that committed a crime. Stop shaming her. |
Girl, you don’t owe any public explanations or apology. Whoever leaked the saiid video owes you. The people making stupid comments are sexually active, yet act as if you’ve committed a crime. If you are born again, then it would mean you’re going against the principles of the faith you profess. But it will still not make you a bad person. Just that you made the wrong choice and did something wrong. Please don’t allow hypocrites shame you. |
publicenemy:I’m sorry I can’t give you what I don’t have. I know misery loves company and you want me to join you in your anger and unhappiness. Alas, I’m totally secure in who I am. |
Ajibel:Coercion is not done only with a gun. |
publicenemy:Hmm! You think being moral pertains only to your perceptions of decent clothes. You don’t know that it actually has more to do with what comes out of you, like the ugly words you just wrote. |
Lucifer66:First of all, you should not be doing that in public. But if you do, then carry had sanitizer in your pocket. |
publicenemy:Just stop! Was it the same as this picture? The child wore a t shirt and shorts and what is the shame in that? Was it transparent in any way? So, if an adult should wear a t shirt and a pair of shorts, she or he is bringing shame to her family? Don't you wear t shirts? Don't you wear shorts? Your mindset is so terrible. |
Last355:I am a woman who was given birth to by a woman. I believe everyone should be treated with respect and dignity. You trash talk about women by saying things like women would do anything for money. So please would your mum do anything for money? I know I won’t do anything that would diminish my self esteem for money. I also know countless of women who won’t do anything for money. So, maybe you should check the women in your little part of the world. |
Last355:What joy do you get from putting women down or acting like no woman has morals? Are you so insecure that you seem to have this deplorable need? I believe you have sisters and a woman gave birth to you. Will money make them do anything? |
Righteousness89:Tithes was mandatory was a fixed percent PAID in the Old Testament. They did not give tithes. They paid what they owed. You give offerings. And I am a female. Please try and be accurate in all things and stop asking me to open my mind to your inaccuracies. Go and study before you imagine to teach others. |
Righteousness89:Op, why are you teaching nonsense? Read your bible, make sure you're knowledgeable before putting yourself in a position to teach others. The New Testament verses you quoted had nothing to to do with tithes. Acts 4:34 was simply talking about Christians having a common purse. That way no one was at a disadvantage because the poor were taken care of from this purse. Luke was Jesus instructions to take care of the poor. I'm not telling you to pay or not pay tithes. I am saying you should stop trying to force bible passages to fit in with your stance. |
ednut1:Really!! Please give me the link so I can check it out myself. |
