Peppysco: Which church? Your church? Only busybodies and dark minds obsess over a "fraud, hypocrisy... in the church" in which they have no reasonable stake or say. The church members are happy and joyful with their pastors and GOs. it's always online nonentities calling out churches when they have no commitment to any. |

Watch. One. Two. Three. The enemies of the church coming in again to spew their hatred. Nothing the church does ever makes sense to them. They have nothing to do with church, but they always have a hate to spew. Why? They're children of darkness! 53 Likes 6 Shares |

You people just don't get tired of this agenda against church, pastors, GOs. It always come in one indirect for or another. First, church is not an industry and pastoring is not a job. It's not something you do to earn. Secondly, for pastors collecting salaries, you don't know what the arrangement is with the church. I have never seen pastors carrying placard protesting minimum wage. Why do you love taking panadol for another man's headache? And it's not like you care about the church or pastors... 4 Likes 1 Share |

But these Nigerian soldiers overrate themselves, honestly. There's this air of superiority with them,and its delusional. They seem to forget that the uniform, the respect, and all has nothing to do with them but the federal authority. They seem ignorant that this authority is for stewardship of the people and not this pseudo "superman" feeling. Well,reality dawns on them individually at one point or another. 3 Likes 1 Share |

abdsamad: I should have been milder with my words I guess. But I assure you that some actually twist Bible to suit an agenda. The key lesson in that Biblical portion is that even someone who isn't rich can put their trust in other things. The Bible speaks of those who trust in men. Some trust in evil powers. Some trust in their own strength. The lesson there, I believe, isn't confined to financial or material riches, but in trusting in anything and letting it take the place of God. |

jude33084: I don't know where you see those that "take church money" to buy jet. But those ministers I know with jet in Nigeria, the church bought it as an organisation. And it's for church ministry work. Guess what, those whose monies are involved in the purchase are not complaining. |

wale2020: One way to serve God is not to build doctrine on men's experiences or "confessions." Benny Hinn's story is not God's Word. So you can't build on it as doctrine. Now, the Bible teaches against greed, deceit, and covetousness. But the Bible doesn't say having money legitimately (without greed,deceit, and covetousness) is bad. I believe that should do. |

soccerlite: Like I said, that's not what the Bible teaches. Bible teaches salvation by faith. The man who trusts in His riches would find it hard to find faith. Not the one who trusts in God. The problem is not money. But the trust in it. It's the same way even someone who isn't rich trusts in some other system or another instead of God. That's the message. To trust God and not things. Not about having or not having riches. 1 Like |

That portion of scripture you quoted doesn't prove that God has a persona vendetta with wealthy people. Through scriptures, God had wealthy men. Abraham, His friend, was wealthy. Jacob was wealthy. Joseph was wealthy. David was wealthy. Solomon was wealthy. Job was wealthy. Many many of God's people in the Old Testament were wealthy. In the new testament, Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy. Erastus was wealthy. Barnabas was wealthy. Many in the early church were rich! Abusing a Bible verse to push a silly narrative would not suffice. You can't build a doctrine on just one single passage, more so one single phrase which is misunderstood... Mark 10:17-25 [17]And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? [18]And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. [19]Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. [20]And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. [21]Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. [22]And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. [23]And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that TRUST IN RICHES to enter into the kingdom of God! [25]It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Apparently, the clarification here is what Mark supplies us. Jesus wasn't talking about the average rich man anywhere, but a rich man that trusts in His riches instead of trusting in God. And that is a no-brainer. To trust in riches is to not trust in God. The Epistles also echo the same thought to rich Christians. 1 Timothy 6:17-18 [17]Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; [18]That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; God is not against wealth. Wealth is a useful tool for His work on earth OBVIOUSLY. What is against God is to allow money to take God's place. That's what Jesus and His Apostles addressed. shelve the OP's Bible confusion 110 Likes 18 Shares |

rentAcock: Well, context matters. Having a baby suddenly cry in front of your gate AT MIDNIGHT is suspicious. Even if it's not armed robbery, something will feel baity about it. Nothing is wrong with checking on the baby too. But, if you must, be smarter than the lurking aggressor. Else, you and the baby may both be unsafe. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

johnog4sure: They chose to serve him with their money abi. Who taught them abeg? ![]() Yiu shouldn't confuse yourself, my friend. Shelve your emotions. These folks followed Jesus. They gave to Him. He collected. It takes a collection for giving to happen. Shebi?
You are just using your own sense to rationalize things here. A financier Luke where abeg??
I see you have a grouse with "Nigerian pastors." It makes sense why you're trying to cook out a point to suit you. You have no scriptural basis. Yet you skip the contexts of the ones I posted here. No Biblical basis for Jesus giving money to the poor. See his theology on that: John 12:4-8 [4]Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, [5]Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? [6]This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. [7]Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. [8]For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. Jesus taught from place to place with twelve grown men. They ate. They bathed. They changed clothes. But they weren't working. They apparently needed money for their ministry. That was what that giving of those who gave to Him is for. It is a Biblical order right from the old testament. The Priests who served solely in spiritual things lived by the givings of the congregation of Israel. That was the reasoning behind this: 1 Corinthians 9:13 [13]Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
![]() The labourer in 1Tim 5:18 are "elders" (church leaders) that "rule well" (lead church well). See verse 17. He says they deserve "double honour" (which is in reference to their wages). I'm sorry. But your bias or aversion doesn't change what's written. It's similar to what you find in Galatians 6:6 [6]Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. You could check other versions for clarity. It teaches giving to your pastor (the one that pastors you or teaches you God's word). Share all good things with them (money and material things inclusive). That's why Paul asks: 1 Corinthians 9:11 [11]If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? Isn't this so clear, my friend? ![]() Giving to your pastor isn't to enrich them or cheat yourself. It's to support the work they do. A church does well and the gospel prospers when we support the men God uses to lead the work. That's our part in the gospel.
Amen. I don't add to the Bible. Ask questions and I'll show you the context. If you may, read through the contexts of all I have shown you, you'd see that the message in them is clear. Start by erasing your aversion for "pastors." You can't hate "Nigerian pastors" because you don't agree with some (or all). Start by knowing thats some of those "Nigerian pastors" are God sent. 1 Like |
