RCCG is a CULT!


Matthew 5:17-20 King James Version (KJV)

"17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."



Pentecostalism is the problem of the world. These money-hungry churches act like the Old Testament is no more part of the word of God.

Well Taliban may not be the right word but it is the church policy it has nothing to do with scriptures.

If a church policies should have nothing to do with the scriptures... then i wonder why such church should be in existence, and where it draws it guidance from..

The reason why I think it's disgracing the scriptures is that Bible should be the constitution of all churches, againsting what is there is very unfair, having long bears never mention in scriptures as immorality.
It is a policy of the church. Not everything stated in the scriptures are followed to the letter. For example the scriptures didn't say this is how a church should worship or that there should be gathering of the brethren on fix days aside Sabbath or that there must be general overseer, pope, archbishop. It say they should use currency to make offering as we do now. The church is only advocating for decency. You rarely see men having long beards in various establishment yet we want the church to accept that.

Simple issue. If you must attend RCCG ...keep to their rules and regulations.
If you must keep your beads...don't attend RCCG and be a member.
There are several welcoming churches around you. Find Jesus not GO.

This happens when people decide to follow their "commandments" instead of God own

Leviticus 21:5

'They shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.

Leviticus 19:27

'You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard.



Funny to believe its the same old testament which prescribed "tithing" which they prefer for suiting them



My brother true talk, if only we in Nigeria know how to handle religion

Now tell me does the scriptures say you must worship God on other days aside Sabbath or Sunday? The answer is no because it was not stated there. Does that mean the church can't gather other days? Yes they can if they so desire. There as to be preparation towards Sabbath. There has to be days set aside to study. Does the Bible say you must study other days? the answer is no.

Arab Christians keep long beards. Orthodox Russia Christianity is a well worn example of a highly revered practice of beard keeping . Pope Tewodros of Egypt ,the leader of about 10 million Coptic Christians ,keeps a long brown beard. The Jews keep beards as it is religiously valid to do so. The narrative that seeks to portray beard as having an Islamic origin is flawed by misconceptions.

the funny looking Adolf Hitler moustache part got me laughing really hard.


I tried keeping same sometime ago but had to trim it after some days because some of it kept causing me some discomfort especially at the entrance of my nose.

Do you still have it on you?

No sir, I'm now a beard gang! No wonder my present Pastor keeps giving me that one corner eye any time we had eye contact during the service. Even though I'm not a worker. grin

Definitely Adegboye's juju dey fear long beards,he must have received stern looks and warning from the shrine he receives his power.

Any way what is the difference between these pastors and babalawos self?,the only difference is that babalawo's are much more sincere and less wayward than pastors.

DON'T QUOTE ME,IT'S DANGEROUS.

Religious preeks want to control your physical and still command unwavering loyalty from your soul. Brethren emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. Humans been using religion to play mind games on other gullible seeming humans for a long time.
There is no difference between the Taliban and RCCG; both are extremists. It is just a matter of preference.

Yes they can if they so desire. There as to be preparation towards Sabbath. There has to be days set aside to study. Does the Bible say you must study other days? the answer is no.

Firstly, the bible does not say we should worship God on Sabbath or Sunday (Please correct me if I am wrong). It only says we should keep it holy.
but you can check
Genesis 2:2-3
Exodus 20:8-10
Deuteronomy 5:12
Mark 2:27-28
Hebrews 4:9-11

but what is note worthy is in Hebrews 10:25 which says
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (KJV)
but i like the CEB version
"Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near." (CEB)

so this admonishes us to go to church whenever there is church service not just Sabbath

So it is Scriptural to go to Church any day we so choose.... Thanks

Try 2 act like sme1 who z educated, when u add to the church a rule that is not consistent in the bible, is dat nt a sin??if i decide 2 marry from dah church i should nt wear beards bcus adebayo said so and nt the bible.... Even d earlier
pioneers of Christianity wore long beard..
You're on point.
By the way, I am yet to see anywhere in the bible where marriage was conducted in the church or by a priest "even Jesus was a guest in a marriage ceremony". God said, pay a dowry "which symbolizes God's blessing & the parents consent".
The church is simply trying to get involved in everything, more relevance means more control, and most importantly more money.
Africa got a long way to freedom.
