Street Preachers In Lagos-a Growing Menace by Freshboi: 7:08am On Jan 02, 2015
On the streets of Lagos almost on a daily basis,one is confronted with the 'street preachers'. These people,armed with megaphones preach 'the salvation sermon' to passersby. While I do not have a problem with people doing whatever they like,these people should not constitute a nuisance all in the name of evangelism. Many of these preachers preach only one message-salvation. is that what Christianity and Islam is all about? What of Love(to yourself and your neighbours) and patriotism? Why not preach against rape and financial corruption? I am a Christian-but some of these peops to me-are just deranged madmen and madwomen.

Preach relevant sermons,then I'll listen

Do all good works u can in life without salvation u will still go to Hell why? Because all ur righteousness are filthy rags. They are doing what they are sent to do preach salvation in Jesus Christ. True Love cannot come unless u r in Christ.

1) So the billions of innocent muslims, innocent buddhist, 7 yrs olds and upward .... Ur grandfathers who lived in the pre- colonial era, ur great grandfathers , will all be condemned by ur wicked christendom god ??

2) why would a righteous God promise to " ressurect the unrighteous " Act 24:15 , if they are presently in ur fabricated hell ??

3) Show Me the scripture where the bible add such heresy that Goliath, or Judas Iscariot go to ur fabricated hell myth ??

4) where is Adam ??

5) Did scripture tell u such heresy about the people of Noah's day ??

I can see that those who serve a cruel and wicked god ( satan) become just like him .

Banning street preaching is too extreme...especially when you havent banned street prostitutes, shouting bus conductors, street product advertizers and marketers, street political campaigns etc.

1. Before Jesus came God says who He does not sin shall live because of his righteousness. So whoever among them then who does what is right shall live.

2. Hell is not in existence for now it will come after Rapture.

3. The Soul that sins shall die.

4. In the grave he lies.

5. There is no heresy in the Bible.

Is a choice,to live or to die

This thread and its contents so far dont require you to get agitated, aggressive and bitter. There is no need to start cursing God. It doesnt make him cease to exist or add meaningfully to the thread. It only gives you away as insecure in your belief. Why would anyone be so filled with rage against one who doesnt exist?

No.

Do you think God burnt his son in hell?

If so, why do you think so?

No.


This shows the fabricated idea of an hell myth where God roast his own earthly sons and daughters in fire .... His own creatures, is disgusting to God himself !!! Of course, NO Human will burn his son or daughter in fire ... Infact a person can go to jail for such ! It repels God ( ponder over jeremiah 7:31, 19:5, 32:35)


Do you think God burnt his son in hell?

The whole religion fiction make me laugh ..... Imagine God sent his son to die for our sin ? Which sin ? .. Dont forget u religious folks already said people go to heaven when they die even before Jesus come ! So noah, abraham, david are in heaven already , why did Jesus Die ?? Which Sin Again ??

Once again .... If the penalty for sin is hell, then we expect Jesus to pay the ransom by tastin hell for everyone ! Did he burn in such fire to pay for sin ? BIG NO .Inequality at its highest

Since d penalty for sin is simply death .. Jesus simply taste death for everyone

So the reason you want all street preachers banned is because a small fraction of them preach by 5am? Is that logical?

Besides is you dont like 5am preaching, and i dont like 2pm marketing, and another person doesnt like 10pm soliciting prostitutes, and another doesnt like 10am political campaigns...

...Why should we pick on street preachers alone?

I don't like it myself but you know Nigeria is religiously sensitive country . If any administration tries banning itehe will be labelled anti Christian and a witch or wizard and if a Muslim evangelist is banned nobody is safe in Nigeria
