reedemed church of God is a good church still? bless you

Can someone give us details pls

Hmmmm whenever I talk about or even think abt redemption camp, I do it with mixed feelings.
Some couple of yrs back, our car dvd was stolen from our parked car just some steps away from where one of the security guys was keeping watch, when we inquired we eventually somehow got to the head quarters of the church's security outfit and dammnn, come and see man's inhumanity to man. Drivers and conductors were freely brutalized all in the name of them hiking their prices, I could not believe my eyes at the ugly scene before me, when I could not behold the injustice any longer and sought to know why these guys are so much brutalized as if they were in the the Guatemala terrorist camp, my friends got some rough handling from the so called blood-shot-eyed leader whose breath was oozing of local gin.
Since then meeeennn make d place hold itself o.
If nothing can be done to eliminate such injustice in God's house then, well thats all I have to say

Why do people still fall for all these deceits with the Holy Name of God attached to it? "Holy Ghost Service" indeed! How many holy ghost this and that year after year? "Revival everyday, revival every night, Wonder wonder wonder, wonder wonder wonder, till you turn to wonderer. Na only pastor life dey better everyday, people still dey suffer, the little they have the pastor ends up taking it.

With all these holy ghost services, why Nigeria continue to be what it is today? There are more pastors and reverends in Nigeria than any country in the entire universe. All you see everyday week is crazy themes from the so called men of God. Some also refer to these people as daddy.

Its not good enough to just criticize people and organizations without proferring solutions.
Atimes, methinks most of the criticism on these churches and their leaders is borne out of sheer bad belle (sometimes even unknown to d critic).
Pls dont get me wrong, i m not a Pentecostalist o! But i like to at least respect anyone who is doing d work of GOD cos i believe its not easy. Christ said so himself.
Pastor Adeboye may not even know wot some of his members claim he is, cos i believe he'l ask dm to stop it, but even if he tells dm to, he cant really stop dm. Leading people is difficult. Very very difficult!

i ve never seen a topic like did U̶̲̥̅̊ attend yesterday jumat

Holy Ghost is old English it means “spirit”

But the modern translations “spirit” which is correct translation but in the Hebrew there is many words for the same word in English spirit

The Spirit - New Testament (4 Verses)

Preface
The most common conception of the nature of man is that man has an immortal soul and/or spirit within him that can be conscious after death. This was the understanding of the Greek philosophers, the Pharisees of Jesus’s day, and numerous pagan religions. But was this the understanding of the Bible writers?

What follows are a total of 157 verses in which the Greek and Hebrew words for "soul" and "spirit" are used in ways that do not fit in with this common conception of the nature of man. For example, some of these verses declare that souls can die, can touch, can eat, can thirst, can hunger, etc. These seemingly peculiar uses of the words for "soul" and "spirit" must be explained somehow, and these explanations should be taken into account when considering the other verses where these words occur.


The Various Renderings
Before we actually look at the verses, let's first look at all the various ways these Greek and Hebrew words are translated:

The word for "soul" in the Old Testament is nephesh. Nephesh is translated in following ways (the numbers being the number of occurrences of each way):

any 3
appetite 2
beast 2
body 4
breath 1
creature 9
dead 5
dead body 4
desire 4
fish 1
ghost 2
heart 15
hearty 1
herself 2
himself 8
life 117
lust 2
man 3
mind 15
mortally 1
myself 1
one 1
own 1
person 29
pleasure 3
soul 475
thing 2
themselves 3
thyself 1
will 4
would have it 1
yourselves 6

Some of these renderings may be confusing. For instance, how can the same word be translated "life," "body," and "dead body"?

The meaning of nephesh's root word is "to breathe." Since those who are breathing still have "life," one of the meanings for nephesh is "life." Since the "body" is what we use to breathe with, one of the meanings for nephesh is "body." Since a "dead body" is what once breathed, one of the meanings for nephesh is "dead body." Thus, all three renderings of nephesh, though apparently quite different, are derived from the same basic meaning of the root word.

In the New Testament the word for "soul" is psuche. Psuche is translated in the following ways:

heart 1
heartily (combined with ek) 1
life 40
make doubt (combined with airo) 1
mind 3
soul 58
you 1

The word for "spirit" in the Old Testament is either ruach or neshamah. Ruach is translated in the following ways:

air 1
anger 1
blast 4
breath 27
cool 1
courage 1
mind 6
quarters 1
side 6
Spirit or spirit 240
wind 94
vain 2

Neshamah is translated in the following ways:

blast 3
breath 17
inspiration 1
souls 1
spirit 2

The Greek word pnoe is used in the Septuagint (the Greek version of the Old Testament) for neshamah, but it is only used in the New Testament in Acts 2:2, where it is translated "wind," and in Acts 17:25, where it is translated "breath."

In the New Testament the word for "spirit" is pneuma. Pneuma is translated the following ways:

ghost 2
Ghost (with Holy) 90
life 1
spirit 151
Spirit 137
spiritual gift 1
spiritually 1
wind 1


Personifications?
One brief thought before we look at the verses: There are some verses that seem to use "soul" and "spirit" in ways that harmonize with the common concept of the nature of man. How can this be? Is the Bible contradicting itself?

Here is one suggestion: It was commonplace for the Bible writers to take parts of man’s being and personify them, give them attributes they did not in actuality possess. Perhaps sometimes they personified the "soul" and "spirit" as well.

The most familiar example of a part of a person being personified is the heart. The heart, simply an organ that pumps blood, is said to have qualities that the mind does have, but that the heart definitely does not have.

Another example which is not so familiar is the personification of the kidneys, called the "reins" (Ps. 7:9; 16:7; 26:2; 73:21; Prov. 23:16; Jer. 11:20; 12:2; 17:10; 20:12; Rev. 2:23). The kidneys seem to have been made the seat of the affections and emotions.

Another example is the use of the words for "bowels" (Ps. 40:8 (translated "heart"; Cant. 5:4; Is. 16:11; 63:15; Jer. 4:19; 31:20; Lam. 1:20; 2:11; Luke 1:78 (translated "tender"; 2 Cor 7:15 (translated "inward affection"; Php. 2:1; Col. 3:12; Phm. 1:7, 20; 1 Jn. 3:17).

In the light of these scriptures, the possibility that the Bible writers also occasionally personify the "soul" and "spirit" should be considered. In other words, the "soul" and the "spirit" may in some verses be given qualities that they do not in actuality possess.

Special Note: The words in bold are those translated from the Greek and Hebrew words in question. Within the parentheses following these bolded words are the particular Greek or Hebrew words used in the text. If the Septuagint uses the corresponding Greek word for the Hebrew word in question, this Greek word is also included within the parentheses.

After each passage is a sentence or so in brackets which emphasizes the inconsistency between that verse and the popular concept of soul and spirit. Sometimes the sentence may appear a bit humorous.
