plaetton: There is never a place in the old testament that God said that the old testament is the complete and final books but in the new testament you ll see where we are asked not to add any other thing to what is written. Showing that its the final. God's plan was still in the process in the old testament but was completed in the new testament when Jesus came. That we are debating and arguing over the bible is not God's fault. It is purely human defficencies and it happens in every issue of life. We all don't have the same opinion about issues in life generally. |

bizmahn: @Alex, I agree 100%.But frosbel's case is peculiar.His subtle disguised steel hard arrogance while hiding behind believer derailing heresies as beliefs is baffling.Yet at the same time labeling wellmeaning rebutable men of God & churches like deeper life & apostolic faith as occult just because of minor shortfalls in teachings done in ignorance.Moreover you can evidently see many people he has derailed from truth with so called freedom gospel (Freedom to sin with nothing to loose). Now in business, if you keep trying out a strategy that does not yield profit over and over, you ll end up losing totally. I always evaluate my strategies in business to be sure its yielding the desired fruits. If it is not, then I ve got to change strategy. We have traded accusations upon accusations on each other here which have not yielded any good fruit rather bad feelings towards one another and name calling. If we say we are going to heaven with such mindset then it wont work. Our main focus here is Jesus. Yes we can disagree with frosbel over some issues but let's do it lovingly. If he chooses to continue to make derogatory comment on our churches or pastors(which I doubt he will) then that's up to him. Do your own part of showing him love. Remember love is what brought about the salvation you and I are enjoying today. John 3:16 - "for God so LOVE the world....". We must not neglect the foundation of our redemption. Again Hebrews 12:14 says "follow peace with ALL men(not some men) and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord". Pls keep this in mind in whatever you are doing so as not to lose focus. Disagree in teachings you find not convincing but do it in love. We can't also say that all the teachings of frosbel are wrong. There are the ones that are really good which I ve also learnt from. Some of his observations about my church and Deeper life etc are actually true but my problem with him is the manner he is going about it. I would ve prefered he does it more lovingly than he is doing it so that it will yield better fruit. Honestly, I reasoned over some of his observations about our practices and has been trying to educate the minds of brethren who are just doing these things out of ignorance and things are getting better. For example, why should our members feel that we are more holy and knows the bible more than others? THIS IS VERY WRONG. Another thing I learnt from him is that it is better to spend money on poor brethren than spending hugely on church building. Infact, earlier this year we went on a retreat in one of our state headquarters and we saw a gigantic building they were building apart from the one they already have. People were praising their effort and I simply said that in my opinion, I would ve prefered using the money spent in this gigantic building to help the poor while they build a simple church that will cost less. One of the ministers replied me by saying that Mary magdalene used a costly ointment to rub Jesus and that people around made the same comment I made about using the money to support the poor. I told him that the body of Christ today is the brethren and not church building. So its still the same thing am saying that we should spend money on the body of Christ(which is the brethren) than the church building. Jesus is coming to rapture human beings and not building. By the time I finished, everybody around us agreed with my observation. This discussion was done lovingly, not as people fighting as we do here and you can see it yielded good result. We can actually learn from each other irrespective of our disagreements but we must humble ourselves and operate with LOVE. It is a command that Jesus gave to us to love one another, love your neighbour, love your enemies, love, love and love. Rebuke when neccessary but do it with love. God bless you. |

What is what use to happen to an unwilling tenant when a landlord give him quit notice. Whatsoever that was not build on the foundation of truth will not stand the test of time. Church and mosque are tenants in Africa and the must go. 1 Like |

alexleo:- Agreed & accepted.Love principle is required.And there is still love when a caring dad spanks or disciplines his obstinate child though he's bitter that moment.On thorough examination frosbel type of gospel will drag multitudes to eternal destruction & he leaves no room of possibly being wrong somewhere like any genuine christian will.Paul did not go soft on fellows that tried to corrupt the gospel.Satan last day strategy is not outright lies as before.He tells some truth & channel it to subtle lies that will nullify that truth & lead to destruction.Same does frosbel.Honestly it's wrong to count him a christian by these attributes.But however I agree love is key.Thanks |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by alexleo(m): 11:13pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
bizmahn: Thanks dear. Also while praying for yourself, remember frosbel in your prayers too that God should perfect his ways. That's part of the act of love. Also pray for me that the Lord should perfect my ways. That I may not be ashamed to stand before Him on the day of His glorious appearing. God bless you. |

Let me also make this point. What I pointed out in chosen is just an anormally that I feel shouldn't be part of our practice as christians. This does not in any way make Chosen church a fake church. All churches and individuals have their errors. We keep dealing with these things while on earth until we get to heaven where we ll be perfect. |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by bizmahn: 10:35am On Jul 13, 2013 |
alexleo: Prayer for frosbel is for genuine salvation first of all before perfection.Yes, let us pray. |

This does not in any way make Chosen church a fake church. All churches and individuals have their errors. We keep dealing with these things while on earth until we get to heaven where we ll be perfect.Agreed and I too, failed to mention that Pastor Lazarus Muoka does not particularly preach praying for enemies to die or run mad rather that they should repent.Its easy to confirm this. - It is mainly those pastors & members that crossed over to chosen from Mountain of fire (MFM) that have been pushing this enemy die approach which is nearly taking over the church now.The Chosen is a very very young church & filled with many pastors that are not really learned & have very poor knowlegde of scriptures. - Pastor Muoka preaches sinless sanctity vigorously with result that no ministry has really ever recorded the number of prostitutes,hardened criminals & sinners publicly confessing,repenting & preaching with zeal. - There is minimum requirement here on earth before we can ever make heaven.It is complete VICTORY OVER WILFUL SIN i.e the things God has shown an individual clearly in His word or by his spirit & our conscience too bearing witness that they constitute sin or disobedience to God. |

bizmahn: Not many of us go round boasting about our salvation experience, and not many of us are presumptuous or arrogant like you to question the salvation of anyone for that matter. Only GOD knows those who are really his. Besides, you seem to be so sure that your Pastor Lazarus Muoka is 100% infallible and holy, I suggest you follow JESUS , then you can never go wrong. thanks. |

frosbel:You are not following JESUS.I have willingly decided to ignore you in response to requests to forbear, but don't count it as disability.Though I'm very busy, I can make it a full time occupation to expose you.So beware. |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by Nobody: 11:38am On Jul 13, 2013 |
bizmahn: The TRUTH ( word of GOD ), is always brave in the face of opposition. Please do expose me, and I will use the scripture not Pastor this or that, to debunk your myths and educate you. So far , you are a follower of MEN , my advice to you is to start reading your bible for yourself , though I will not be so presumptuous as to question your salvation or relationship with Christ. Thanks. |

alexleo: I went to see my elder sister and her hubby on tuesday evening. As I was there, a church(Lord's Chosen) on their street was holding a service and the speakers blasting around the area(as usual among Nigerian churches). I was baffled to hear the leading minister telling them to pray against all their enemies, that madness and poverty should befall them and their children's children up to their fourth generation. Come and hear the volume of prayers. What sort of rubbish is going on in churches? Now when they started singing, here are the words of their song- "the God of my pastor's power, answer me". This really got me worried and sad. Is this what Jesus said we should do? Brethren how do we arrest this ugly developments in the end time church? Things are getting out of hand. Meanwhile Jesus is coming soon. Thats rubbish and its how religion is today... what if the god of their pastor is an idol... rubbish and ignorant people. |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by benalvino(m): 2:37pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
italo: What's wrong with that? I thought you were of the opinion that anybody can interpret the Christian faith any way they please. That's their own interpretation. Why do you declare it "bad?" Who made you a judge or authority over them? it is Bad dude... there pastor is not recorded in the bible like elijah and others assuring us that his God is YHWH... what if his god is idol? |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by italo: 3:04pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
benalvino: Well, that's what you get if you believe every Christian has a right to interpret the faith in his own way. Who then decides who is right or wrong? |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by shdemidemi(m): 3:26pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
italo: I guess the Roman catholic fathers have the best interpretation!!! what do you think? olodo |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by benalvino(m): 3:26pm On Jul 13, 2013 |

Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by italo: 3:41pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
benalvino: So how can you condemn a group that might have tested the spirit and are doing the right thing in their own eyes? |

italo: Chei bros you, you did a wuruwuru in quoting him, hence the wuruwuru reply you gave him . I know that the reason behind all your replies to this thread is not about Chosen church but all about defending your Catholic church. Hmmmmmmm.....I hope they ll make you a night or knight after all this defence you are doing for them? |

italo: thats why worshiping the queen of heaven is right in your eyes... because some group test it and you made your trust on what they tested... may God help you see that he didnt appoint any queen in heaven |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by italo: 6:07pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
alexleo: The reason I got on this thread is to highlight your hypocrisy. You claim to believe everyone has a right to interpret the faith his own way. Then you assume a position of authority over people practising the faith in their own way. That is hypocrisy. |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by italo: 6:11pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
benalvino: Do you want to impose your interpretation on me now? What if I tested the spirit and saw that God appointed Mary as Queen of heaven...and God thinks its good for us to honour her and seek her maternal love and intercession? |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by benalvino(m): 6:23pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
italo: when testing for temperature you have to use a thermometer... but you are using a speedometer to test temperature that's your problem... you turn marry to mediator, you make her Queen, You believe God is a trinity which is Good... then you believe marry is the mother of God... setting her above God... Cause she is the mother of the father, son and holy spirit... after God said no one should worship him through carved image... you guys went and do the opposite... you Call marry mother anything in Heaven. All i see you are using the wrong tool to test. |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by italo: 6:40pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
benalvino: But I think I'm testing with the right tool. Who then has positioned you to condemn me and the people cursing their enemies by fire? How are we to decide who is right and/or wrong? Are you the one to decide? |
Re: What Is Happening In Churches? This Is Really Bad O. by benalvino(m): 6:44pm On Jul 13, 2013 |
italo: Who told you am condemning you? am only telling you the truth. and you think but you dont know... am i stoning you because of that? or am i shunning you? we all are ministers i have just ministered to you |
