^^^^Will some bible scholar please do some justice to this fasting issue because we're about to have a convert right here !!! I know there's somewhere Jesus called himself the bridegroom, and that while he was with them, they need not fast - but then when the bridegroom(he) is no more around, there would then be cause to fast. Something like that. So @ Abuzola you're well on your way to embracing Christianity----> !!! |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by Nobody: 12:22am On Sep 16, 2009 |
Abuzola has had that lecture before, he will simply move to another thread and regurgitate the same "question" as if he's being sincere. Its hard to change a mind that has been warped by the devil. |

You see, i know it doesn't exist in the bible thats why i brought up the challenge. Davidylnd tried to forged lie in the earlier discourse we had. Let me give you a second chance: clearly show us the verse that says 'fasting is prescribed on christian' |

maedan:@Maedan i think the verse below is what you have in mind. @Abuzola, we are eagerly awaiting your conversion Mark 2:18-20: 18 Once when John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, some people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t your disciples fast like John’s disciples and the Pharisees do?” 19 Jesus replied, “Do wedding guests fast while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. They can’t fast while the groom is with them. 20 But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. |

Lol *i laff in English* in your village is this how to tell people to fast ? If i tell my brother that why should he fast on his wedding day does that mean i ordered or prescribed him to fast ? Poor attempt, i need pure facts jare |

Abuzola: Abuzola: @Abuzola - Abu Don't be a teaser Be careful what you wish for . . . Are you a man of honour? a man of your words? or is "Quote it and I will embrace xtrianity" just cheap talk? Huh? A lame boast? Matthew 6:16-18 (Amplified Bible): " . . . I need pure facts jare" you said There you have it. Are you now ready to make peace with your owner (i.e. the LORD) and embrace Christianity? |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by KunleOshob(m): 10:24am On Sep 16, 2009 |
Recognise:It would really be nice to see Abuzola confess that Jesus christ is lord over his life but i am afraid that the legion of demons and the spirit of paedophilia in him would continue to inhibit him. |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by dgreatrock(m): 10:42am On Sep 16, 2009 |
Abuzola we have a gentleman's agreement. Now type here thus: i confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ of Nazereth over my life today |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by maedan(f): 11:01am On Sep 16, 2009 |
OOOh happy day. . . . . (I hope someone is getting the baptismal water ready ----) @Abuzola, from the above New Testament verses we have shown that Jesus Christ not only mentioned fasting, but laid guidelines on how fasting should be udertaken (and the rewards thereof). Need we say more?? When Jesus washed, all my sins away. . . . |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by Abuzola(m): 11:03am On Sep 16, 2009 |
@recognisd- In your village is that how to tell people to fast ? 'if you want to fast do not fast like the hypocrite' how is it equal to 'i prescribe/order/command you to fast' huh ? What you said is Tantamount to 'if you want to steal, do not steal like the hypocrite but rather steal intelligently, so that you won't be caught', does that means i ask or command you to steal ? Is just an advise on if you want to fast/steal. |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by GEW: 11:04am On Sep 16, 2009 |
Abuzola:abu prove my david wrong. at 22 you are like this i wonder what u will do at 44. God help u maedan:oh happy day when abusola will kneel to repent of his sins like we all did and change his life forever. |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by maedan(f): 11:11am On Sep 16, 2009 |
@ Abuzola, I am very disappointed in you. You are not a man of your word. Jesus was not of the law, he never tried to "prescribe" anything, but to guide. That was his ministry, to light the way and not be oppressive like the pharisees were. But I see now that you never meant to give your life to Christ no matter what. So I won't force you because the Word said no man can come to God unless God calls him. Your case is beyond human intervention . |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by dgreatrock(m): 11:47am On Sep 16, 2009 |
Abu, why are you like that now? we are waiting for your confession of faith in Jesus Christ. |

[size=13pt]Topic: Well my First Contribution on this Issue was just a Wicked Laugh. .Though i was seeking for a time to hit the nail staright to the point. Many Christians get pissed off whenever Issues like such is raised on Discussion and they have nothing to render than giving all source of Excusses. . So far i have been branching by this Thread and i read, Study of Dude's post insisting the Money which the so called Men of God(Pastors) and Co are beging in the Church(Madhouse) is for maintainance ;for Tax fees and so on. C'mon stop the Bullshit!!. dgreatrock . . .you come to think about it the Church Leader's have mostly claim the Many Basins of Tithes and Offerrings on Sunday service ,and the Weekly sevices are used for Building Projects and that that that. A building, isn't it? surely you jest. The church is even worse than the Nigerian Government, when it comes to lying, cheating(Crooks), stealing, and murder. The church was built on the premise that the flock need a place to go to worship. They collect your money and use it for their own needs, what ever they may be. If you believe in something, whether it is god, or nature, or Satan, would you need a building to worship them in? huh Tell me. For having a god that's "omnipotent" why would you need to erect thousands of buildings to pray to him? It's a simple money laundering scam . The church and its tax-free status, and gambling even, within it's own walls. The best scam going on to date! [/size] |

Monies taken in the Church are used to run the affairs of the Church. The Church is also an institution that isnt void of administration. Hence the issue of money comes in. |

I wonder why we here always prone into what church monies are used for. In the west it is not so. could it be the poverty in the land? |

rich_john: Used for buy private jet for sending message across nation, the jet helps to save time in terms of traveling. Used for medical treatment since we lack good hospital here, when it comes to some serious case which required abroad attention. Used for broadcasting in the television and as well to all media stations; radio, and sending evangelist to far places which have not heard of Christ and possibly do not experience the type of clivization we have here. Used for helping the refuges. Thank you for your reasoning. remain blessed. |

Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by Tudor6(f): 7:31am On Sep 18, 2009 |
dgreatrock:This is absolutely false. In the west they've got a charity commission that monitors the finances of churches and NGO's to make sure money isn't used inappropriately by theiving pastors. Matthew Ashimolowo would testify to that. . . . |
Re: Monies Taken In Churches, What Are They Used For? by mazaje(m): 8:01am On Sep 18, 2009 |
Tudór: Church financial accountability and monitoring happens only in europe where christianity is almost becoming a relic of the past. . .but it is not the same in the USA. . . . |
