The Prior, paramount goal of any true minister Of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and of God, is to preach the gospel. (Matthew 28:19, also all believers).

It was stated out clearly that winning souls should be a lifestyle as Jesus Ascended from the disciples outside Jerusalem.

They went on to do just that, and when it seems like that wasn't forthcoming, persecution scattered them in all directions and the actual spread began.

Ever since then, the spread keeps getting new waves across many nations, tribes, tongues of the whole, with God confirming with signs and wonders done through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This has created a need for Ministry with different callings serving the growth purpose of Christians.

Across several denominations, several men of God, etc, lead by exemplary lifestyles and teach what Jesus commanded.

But in the Nigerian sphere, this has gotten to a very unbecoming way; almost all of whatever is said by their pastors, GOs, is seen as infallible, unquestionable, and as such, they just go head long into errors as a result of this stance.

Many Unchristlike things and demonic doctrines have crept right into the church via the pulpit and it has created a level of infallibility.

" Papa can never say, do, preach wrong."

Concerned believers try as much as possible to correct many of such error, but this is met with stiff resistance by members. You can be tagged an unbeliever, son of the devil, etc for merely justifying your stance scripturally.

The quite sad angle is majority of these defenders actually aren't grounded scripturally. If they were, they'll realize correcting a stanxstancee, doctrine that can be a stumbling block to a believer, isnt odd atall. Rather it should be encouraged. One even wonders what is right or wrong these days, just to show how deep this cesspit is!!

To prove this herd mentality, Many decades back, several MoGs hard doctrines, some rigid, that members held tightly onto. Crossing the line was a sin. But the reverse has happened and these Ministers don't apologize. Why? The effect of such has ruined lots of lives. I wouldn't really be concerned about the effects in the first place, if believers are grounded like the Bereans. But i have to.

We should be imitators of Christ, not our GOs, Pastor, Revd, Bishop,etc. Its Christ that is our Author, Our Finisher.

Our Gos are but men, vessels unto honour used by God specifically, also running the race as we all are. They can go in the way of error and if one is not careful, such error can cause grave evils.

Who has bewitched us that we now have our conscience seared like with a hot iron?

Anything that would make the brother or sister to fall, even if its not a sin, should be packed asides. (1st Cor. 8:9) What about this warning about those false teachers that crept into the church and start teaching doctrines of demons that even the elect is deceieved? (2Pet.2:1-3)

Good examples that our MoG arent infallible, or are error prone are;
Moses(The waters of Meribah)
Abraham(The Ishmael scenario)
Samuel(Almost Choosing Eliab as King, if not for the voice of God)
Peter(His difficulty with Accepting Gentile Christians, even after the Rooftop encounter)
Elijah(Thinking only he was the true servant of God left)

If the Bible wanted us to only focus on their heroics, it will omit their mistakes, errors. But its all there to read and study, learn from.

Stop twisting scriptures to suit any MoGs inadequacies and doctrines. The Bible isn't a Scale you adjust to fit anything you want. Its The Standard.

If they fall, correct them with respect or make a cry out loud so people don't blindly take up such and end up being prey for wolves in sheep's clothing.





Its a pity Many churches are doing away with Bible Study and Sunday School these days. Lets return to our first love and do away with all these infallibility stance that leads to damnation and error. (2 Pet. 3:14-18)

No one is above correction. Aquila and Priscilla took Apollos asides and he heeded correction and adjusted his teachings. (Acts.18:24-28)
Can we be like that, and in love too?


Whats the essence of defending wrong and miss eternal life?


This is both for MoGs and believers alike, and how to face doctrinals issues preached in error. And also how to face those that bring heresies and guise it as Scriptural and From God.


Beware!!!


Happy Sunday!!

Touch not my anointed...

The Scriptures should be the authority. In it is a doctrine not what preacher says.

OP, I think you are a confused christian.

Hmm
It's quite sad. But this is the truth:
Humans naturally are susceptible to instructions claiming to be from God. Even if these sound foolish.

Religion promotes faith. A quality requiring that one believes or follows blindly. No questions asked. Even when what the preacher says is logically flawed.

They day we break free from fear of being chastised by members and stop following what the crowd follows and apply logic to what we hear, is when progress starts.

So many things above religion is flawed.. So many things. Sadly, we've inherited them and can't break free

Op, you may need to change your church. Look for a bible believing and Spirit-filled church

THERE IS NO GOD.
RELIGION IS MAN-MADE.

Thank you very much the Op for this piece
People like righteousness89 always thinks he's right just because many people are saying what he's saying

But he always forgets Jesus warned that MANY will be deceived in this time

So few people won't be decieved

Pls take your Bible and read it for yourselves
Stop wating for your pastors to give you bible verses

Read to understand

Read and read again

And stop quoting just one verse out of context just to satisfy your own selfish desire

No one is infallible..

This is why we must look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...

All Christian leaders should also be careful in their way of living because many still look up to them and copy their lifestyles anyhow... Its a responsibility of leaders to live holy so others can emulate..

Paul said follow me as I follow Christ I.e once I depart from Christ, don't copy me anymore...

Peace!

Practice religion like the British and the Americans,
Visit Israel and Jerusalem and see life for yourself before carrying religion for head like it's your birth rite

You will go to hell

This one weak me

We can only pray to God for the spirit of discernment so as to not be misled. Our Lord Jesus Christ in Matt 23:1-12 says "The scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses' seat; so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice. They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honour at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher and you are all brethren. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one father, who is in heaven. Neither be called master, for you have one master, the Christ. He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

We are all men of God provided you know the God you are serving. Stop worshipping and serving men.

Jehovah is Satan

THERE IS NO HELL.
THE CONCEPT OF HELL WAS MADE TO KEEP YOU IN FEAR. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE "SOUL", WHEN YOU DIE, YOU ARE GONE FOREVER.

As an atheist, sometimes I feel, Jesus Christ is hating that I got mad love for satan but i don't believe in satan either.

But to say the truth kwa --- God is just too insecure that he had to say many filth against satan in the Bible and he said, if you fu ck with satan, you going to hell. VERY insecure piece of thrash.

Now, Satan didn't inspire no one to write any book about or againt God, so how are we not SURE God is truly the bad guy, lying against satan using the Bible because he is such an insecure control freak.

The Word for all times!!!

This generation of believers need to be truly redeemed from the sin of idolatry... Worshiping a man or woman created and ordained by God is a very dangerous form of idol worship, and a slap on the face of the Creator!!!

It is even more abominable and punishable for the clergyman that revels and encourages such worship!!! A lot of ministers have lost their way!!! What a PITY!!!
