2 Timothy 2:14 (American Standard Version - ASV) 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear. Paul is telling us to drop idiotic arguments about words such as 'speaking in an unknown tongue' vs 'speaking in tongues' shdemidemi: |
2 Cor 4:3-4 (KJV) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. sonOfLucifer: |
playing dumb is a career? Somebody boldly claimed that Christ took away the OT curses but not the blessings. Am sure they never had in mind Malachi, otherwise their glaring contradictions would have revived a corpse. Must be mbaemeka. Here is Adeboye; In Malachi 3:8-11, God said all His children who are robbing Him in tithes and offerings have violated His covenant, and therefore are under a divine curse. However, He says if they will restitute their ways, He will personally rebuke the devourer for their sakes and open the windows of Heaven to them and give them a blessing they will be unable to contain. There are two type of devourers – the ones sent by the devil (John 10:10) and the ones sent by God. To deal with the devourers sent by the devil, simply resist him and he will flee from you as long as you are in right standing before God. But to deal with the devourers sent by God, it is through restitution. You will have to cry to God for forgiveness and thereafter undo what made Him to send the devourers in the first place. Do you owe God in tithes, offerings, thanksgiving or vows? Ask for forgiveness and go ahead and pay what you owe. If it is in tithes, also add 20% as interest being the penalty for eating your tithes (Leviticus 27:31).https://www.nairaland.com/1458058/open-heavens-daily-devotional-sunday Pat Robertson Right Wing Watch reports, “The viewer said that she and her husband are “retired and living on a small pension and Social Security income” and “barely have any money” because of her husband’s medical expenses.”https://www.nairaland.com/1541026/pat-robertson-tells-elderly-woman Image123, how many more examples do you need? Candour: |
Except you repent, you will perish in your rebellion just like Baalzebub sonOfLucifer: |
We been through several popes. Let's try something more interesting like an African Elijah ![]() Topgainer: |
Satan knows it. Keep deluding yourself you foul spirit. Jesus is the name above ALL names sonOfLucifer: |
Whenever somebody claims to be fulfilling a scripture exclusively, I take cue and head for the hills. John the Baptist who came in the spirit and power of Elijah did no miracles. Why should this latter day Elijah purport the evidence of his calling to be signs and wonders? Are we to have Elijah before Jesus' return ? Revelation is one place I stick to what God shows me not what others teach. Hiswordxray: |
Welcome my brother, You are blessed beyond measure, and no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper Hiswordxray: |
You are blessed and no man can curse what God has blessed my brother Shalom shdemidemi: |
1. What is WORKS? whatever shdemidemi thinks is WORKS works for me 2. What is GRACE? whatever shdemidemi calls GRACE is my GRACE 3. When was GRACE initiated? whatever that means to shdemidemi works for me Now, can we proceed to your 'speaking in an unknown tongue' is different from 'speaking in tongues'? You can't proceed because you have nothing. The ultimate folly is inventing doctrines and then looking to Scriptures for 'proof texts' shdemidemi: |
Your traditions have fooled you. You have elevated them above scriptures ![]() shdemidemi: |
You are hopelessly bound in impotent empty human traditions. You would kill for them, give your life for them. Any time you are ready to confront your fickle gutter theology, I will be here CONFUSION has killed you already. I raise powerful rebuttals shattering your theories and you hibernate. Days and threads later you emerge and invent questions and set them as conditions for responding to me? I have saved you the sweat for unnecessary glib. WHATEVER answer you think is correct to your questions,I will work with that. I will agree with EVERYTHING you say about those questions. Happy? shdemidemi: |
He knows his place and dares not cross the line. The name of Jesus CHrist, the power, even demons tremble my brother. I will banish him from this thread if he keeps distracting shdemidemi: |
You have set conditions for responding to my rebuttal over one week since I posted them. That's dishonesty. Where were you all this time? have you suddenly discovered fundamentals? I told you the immature Corinthians were spiritual giants compared to you ![]() let me grant you the benefit of doubt, whatever definition you give to GRACE and WORKS I will work with it and still prove you deluded. AM saving you precious time and energy in irrelevant repetition. Aight? shdemidemi: |
Nothing, but Jesus is not dead, otherwise Satan would have unearthed his remains by now ![]() He can not only kill you but after that He will cast you to hell except you repent. Satan is already judged, can't repent. You can repent or join him in the lake of Fire sonOfLucifer: |
What are you doing here, perish in Jesus name sonOfLucifer: |
[img]http://4.bp..com/-K4ED49aOwss/UkiY8zLXZ1I/AAAAAAAAeJc/TpAd2rEdXKg/s640/proph.JPG[/img] -They call him THE Mighty Prophet of God -He does pull crowds -Claims to have healing and signs -Repentance and Holiness is theme -Will not hesitate to criticize prosperity gospel, 'indecent' dressing in churches, witchcraft in churches -Has had elaborate teachings on Revelation majoring on the Horsemen. He reckons some have been released Here is the catch; One adherent vows the man will not taste death as he will be raptured together with the church (that's indirectly prophesying Christ's return in under 50 years this being the longest he can possibly live) seeing he is come in the spirit and power of Elijah and he must prepare the Church for rapture. So he can't stop BEFORE Christ returns His US site says as much; As for Dr. Owuor being sent by the LORD in the spirit of Elijah in Malachi 4:5, we must anchor ourselves upon the words of Christ in the Gospels. I know, it is dark and the days are evil, and deception has gone viral; however, Jesus warned us ahead of time and left us His imperishable Word, and Mighty Holy Spirit.http://www.highwayofholiness.us/alert-elijah-is-here/ QUESTION; Is it possible for anybody to appropriate a specific scripture for themselves and purport to be the fulfillment of the same? |
Apologies sir but I was not looking for your comment and I doubt you will want anything to do with Holy Spirit though that's all you need sonOfLucifer: |
I read markMiwerds post to the effect that even Creflo Dollar has changed his stance on malachi. He recently taught that non-tithers are not cursed. He also mentioned other pro-tithers who are revising their position on this. Isn't it funny how they cling to these beliefs yet they are so embarrassed of sharing or admitting the same? Somebody is ASHAMED of the 'gospel' they peddle. Their consciences must be pricking them BIG Candour: |
You have a tedious way of debating where you shoot so many stray points and leave them unanswered. It is called Gish-gallop. What you need is FOCUS like mbaemeka on one point, clear it and then move on to the next. When you tie GRACE and WORKS to your theory of speaking in tongues vs speaking in an unknown tongue NOW, many days and many threads after you could not respond to the rebuttals I raised against your position, it is clearly meaningless engaging with you. I have little interest in responding to you UNLESS you demonstrate how what I said is related to your theory of tongue vs tongues not to mention a commitment from you that you will FOCUS on one issue at a time shdemidemi: |
So is this the Prayer Mountain or not? Makweembo: |
Hahahahahah. I get the point. It is laughable, ridiculous, must be SirJohn's hallucinations ![]() Gombs: |
The members are eerily silent on this point. Are they guilty or something? But note how few would admit to MoGs raining Malachi curses on non-tithers Candour: |
You mean there still is something to understand concerning the dichotomy between 'speaking in an unknown tongue' and 'speaking in tongues'? shdemidemi: |
According to Christ Embassy theology, can somebody contract diseases because of not tithing or paying first-fruits? Candour: |
Don't judge a book by its cover. And I can see SonofLucifer, son of perdition trolling shdemidemi: |
Well, it is a devotional you have zero part in. You are Oyaks foot soldier. Quite possible you don't even read whatever you post. Which is why I wonder if most of those who read it are not CE members already and if they could not access the information other way. Do you have members who don't use the devotional on a daily basis? Jehovah's Witnesses are meticulous record keepers of every Awake,Watchtower,New World Translation they gave,homes visited,members witnessed to. They had special forms even for clocking the hours they put. Ask paulgrundy. It is a WORKS system. Cults relish WORKS. It is the only way to keep members in check, reminding them of dire consequences. WORKS is the only thing that gives them relevance and a sense of entitlement. You won't find GRACE in cults because GRACE is liberating. Gombs: |
I recall this question came up in that moderated debate. Image123 categorically denied threats and curses too. Their defense was they never threatened nobody on NL. But neither did they condemn them. This is hypocrisy. How do we have regular folks terrified of catching HIV because of not offering Firstfruits? Who taught them thus? Did they imagine these things? The point is there is massive spiritual abuse practiced to make believers part with their money. Paul's formula of giving 'without compulsion' and 'as you purpose' is clearly inadequate to feed their greed. Why would a minister go to such ridiculous extents to collect money? Is it in the interest of the believers or themselves? Your guess is as good as mine Bidam: trustman: MarkMiwerds: |
Let's test those parameters properly. The Rhapsodies thread, https://www.nairaland.com/393253/rhapsody-realities-daily-devotional has 60,596 view and has been on since 5th February 2010 or 1661 days. The average reads per day is 37 The Midas Touch thread, https://www.nairaland.com/1957135/midas-touch-balanced-approach-biblical has 26,586 views since 19th October 2014 or 30 days ago. The average reads per day is 886 The Deception of Malachi thread https://www.nairaland.com/1472237/deception-malachi-3-10-11-devourer has 12,839 views since 10th October 2013 or 404 days ago. The average read is 31 And finally Bidam's New Testament Prophets... https://www.nairaland.com/1977834/new-testament-prophets-defined has 1,175 views since 2nd November or 16 days ago. The average reads per day is 73 SO clearly ROR is among the least impactful and besides, you post soft copies of Rhapsodies which I presume (correct me if am wrong) are not freely available. I wonder what would happen if you shared the entire book at once in its soft. Oyaks already has a sizeable following so you can't possibly claim impact on this basis. Real impact would be non CE members who read your thread ignoring the religious folks who click there for freebies ![]() There is no divorce brouhaha, nobody wished it on him and if they did I wonder why they succeeded. But somebody here wished me death by a car crash and my family narrowly escaped death through the same last weekend. SO may be these things work Emails are subjective, it is your word against anybody's not to mention the brand you carry; CE and probably how active you are on NL and for how long The point is none of those parameters are proper measure of impact and you would do well not to dwell on the trivial. The other day, your side was up in arms over 'likes' Gombs: |
My brother, the book is quite compact, a mere 52 pages or so. The author explores the place of baptism of Holy Spirit in a Christian. He is a veteran with years of experience in the trenches (mission field) and has a characteristic funny way of sharing scriptures. You almost get the feeling he is seated right there next to you having a hearty chat shdemidemi: |
Thank you dein77, I only know of Freemason aprons. Seeing am a complete stranger to this practice, let me observe from the sidelines Shalom dein77: |
My brother, On another thread, somebody claimed that they caught HIV out of not giving Firstfruits. Can you say that anyone is forced to give Firstfruits? I specifically asked anyone who believes failure to offer Firstfruits can lead to a believer contracting HIV and none came up. Why is this? These teachings are rife in CHURCHES but everybody is embarrassed about them so much that they don't talk about it. Likewise,nobody will admit to their MoG threatening curses on non-tithers but we both know these things are there. So nobody is FORCED say at gunpoint to tithe but the tithing message presented in churches leave little to imagination; either you tithe or devourers finish you off and you end up in hell. So I'd say there is alot of spiritual blackmail practiced in giving/prosperity messages. Bidam: |
