Christians Stop Criticizing Your Fellow Christian To Unbelievers by OgheneroEzaza: 9:44am On Sep 18, 2021 |
For Christians: Christians have reached a conclusion that Christianity is a personal race, so each Christian should run on his own track. We don't try to hold one another instead we make the race difficult for one another by criticizing and verbally attacking each other. To make it worse we do the criticism and attack here on Facebook where the world can see, as if we are actually calling on the world, including non-Christians, to come and be the judge between us and our fellow Christians. Like we are proving to people who don't go to church that we are better Christians than the others, as if we are serving the world. If a fellow Christian is doing something wrong, the Bible tells us what to do. Matthew 18:15 -17 "15 If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector." The Bible did not say you should go and report your fellow Christian to people who don't go to church. If there is a Christian Facebook group you can do your post there knowing you are communicating to fellow Christians. The only thing you owe your Facebook family who are not Christians yet is the message of salvation so they can be saved. In Galatians 2 Paul said he rebuked Peter publicly. What he mean by publicly is in the presence of the other Christians so the issue will be resolved immediately. Paul did not go to the village square and carry horn speaker and begin to criticize Peter. I ask questions in church, sometimes we even debate over scriptures during Bible study, but we do it knowing we are discussing as Christians. If I think I need to post here on Facebook about a Bible topic that is debatable, or an issue that Christians have different opinions on, then I write it at the beginning of my post that this post is for Christians. That does not stop anyone from reading it, but it becomes clear that the point I am making and the issue for discussion is for Christians. Christians we are not in a competition to out do one another. Even our God does not tell us that, not to talk of us now even making the world our judge. May the peace of the Lord which surpasseth all understanding dwell in you, in Jesus name, amen. I celebrate you Oghenero Ezaza |

OgheneroEzaza: Yes it's personal as having sex with your wife. But if you bring out your personal business, then you are trying to promote and advertise it. And when you advertise, then your Product Must be Good. And since you present your product as good, then the consumers or potential consumers have a right to verify and confirm that your product is indeed good. And this is the place of Queries. However, people are evil and do not like it when a person presents a really Good Product which they see is faultless. They desire to be the one who presents a brilliant thing but are very jealous and angry that they are not the one. And this is where they go beyond Reasonable Criticism. They become evil and Nasty, derogatory, defamatory inflammatory, Accusatory and doing every wicked thing that they can do. And this is where all the other evils Tsunami in, even up to murder. In all these, they still consider themselves good people and Christians and worthy of the Kingdom of God. Very crazy in deed! OgheneroEzaza: And this is the part I will always challenge, Christians do not do this. It is those Christ Applicants who do these. And these 2 are not the same people. 1 Like |

Christianity is all about a first century Jewish carpenter who later became a teacher in his community. His teachings, thoughts, words and actions is what led to the establishment of a group known back then as "CHRISTIANS" Act 11:26 This group had IDENTIFYING MARKS according to the founder himself! Matthew 7:16-18 compare to John 13:34-35 So if anyone form a group today claiming they are CHRISTIANS but unable to meet up with the terms and conditions set up by the man called Jesus of Nazareth then they are NOT CHRISTIANS. John 14:15 Therefore it's very very important for anyone who wish to be a true Christian to find out if he or she is associating with the true Christians or just mingling with deceivers in the name of Jesus! Matthew 7:21-23 compare to Psalms 1:1 ![]() 1 Like |

We're all guilty. Thing is we all didn't met a good foundation and I don't think there'll be. I recall that even in the days of Apostle Paul, there were false ones disguising. How much more after he's no more. After reading a few pages of God's general I realized the trend. We must all recall that there're different gifts and services but one Lord. The Lord of love. Little wonder Apostle Paul concluded that we should all aim for love than any other gift. May God continue to transform us. 1 Like |

Do Not Sue the Brethren "Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!" - 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 Amen to that @Ayo081 - ("May God continue to transform us." )! May GOD mercifully and continually give us the grace and ability "to be conformed to the image of His Son" - the Lord JESUS, The CHRIST (Romans 8:29) ... and whenever possible, forgive "seventy times seven" times! - Matthew 18:22 "Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you. For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others." - Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 2 Likes |
