Clearly, you DO NOT like tithing. Where did your tithe go in last few years. If you don't pay them, KEEP your mouth shut about others who do. Tithing is a personal choice. You don't work for other people, do you?
Lastly, the next time you accuse anybody of tithing UNJUSTLY, show some evidence please. Otherwise you are just portraying the tendencies of a loose talker with no sense.

Those who follow the Apostle, the unlettered Prophet, Whom they find mentioned in their own Scriptures, in the Torah and the Gospel... (Holy Qu'ran: VII - 157; Translation: Yusif Ali)
BIBLE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE ADVENT OF MUHAMMAD
Abraham is widely regarded as the Patriarch of monotheism and the common father of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Through His second son, Isaac, came all Israelite prophets including such towering figures as Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus. May peace and blessings be upon them all. The advent of these great prophets was in partial fulfillment of God's promises to bless the nations of earth through the descendants of Abraham (Genesis12:2-3).Such fulfillment is wholeheartedly accepted by Muslims whose faith considers the belief in and respect of all prophets an article of faith.
BLESSINGS OF ISHMAEL AND ISAAC
Was the first born son of Abraham (Ishmael) and his descendants included in God's covenant and promise? A few verses from the Bible may help shed some light on this question;
1) Genesis 12:2-3 speaks of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants before any child was born to him.
2) Genesis 17:4 reiterates God's promise after the birth of Ishmael and before the birth of Isaac.
3) In Genesis, ch. 21. Isaac is specifically blessed but Ishmael was also specifically blessed and promised by God to become "a great nation" especially in Genesis 21:13, 18.
4) According to Deuteronomy 21:15-17 the traditional rights and privileges of the first born son are not to be affected by the social status of his mother (being a "free" woman such as Sarah, Isaac's mother, or a "Bondwoman" such as Hagar, Ishmael's mother). This is only consistent with the moral and humanitarian principles of all revealed faiths.
5) The full legitimacy of Ishmael as Abraham's son and "seed" and the full legitimacy of his mother, Hagar, as Abraham's wife are clearly stated in Genesis 21:13 and 16:3. After Jesus, the last Israelite messenger and prophet, it was time that God's promise to bless Ishmael and his descendants be fulfilled. Less than 600years after Jesus, came the last messenger of God, Muhammad, from the progeny of Abraham through Ishmael. God's blessing of both of the main branches of Abraham's family tree was now fulfilled. But are there additional corroborating evidence that the Bible did in fact foretell the advent of prophet Muhammad?
MUHAMMAD:
The Prophet Like Unto Moses
Long time after Abraham, God's promise to send the long-awaited Messenger was repeated this time in Moses' words.
In Deuteronomy 18:18, Moses spoke of the prophet to be sent by God who is:
1) From among the Israelite's "brethren", a reference to their Ishmaelite cousins as Ishmael was the other son of Abraham who was explicitly promised to become a "great nation".
2) A prophet like unto Moses. There were hardly any two prophets ,who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad. Both were given comprehensive law code of life, both encountered their enemies and were victors in miraculous ways, both were accepted as prophets/statesmen and both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlooks not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well (e.g. the natural birth, family life and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus, who was regarded by His followers as the Son of God and not exclusively a messenger of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslim belief Jesus was).
THE AWAITED PROPHET WAS TO COME FROM ARABIA
Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God's revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa'ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Mecca).
Indeed the King James version of the Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba'ca (another name of Mecca) in Psalms 84:4-6.
Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of God. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who "shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement on earth." Verse 11, connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke'dar. Who is Ke'dar? According to Genesis 25:13, Ke'dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of prophet Muhammad.
MUHAMMAD'S MIGRATION FROM MECCA TO MEDINA:
PROPHECIED IN THE BIBLE?
Habakkuk 3:3 speaks of God (God's help) coming from Te'man (an Oasis North of Medina according to J. Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible), and the holy one (coming) from Paran. That holy one who under persecution migrated from Paran (Mecca) to be received enthusiastically in Medina was none but prophet Muhammad.
Indeed the incident of the migration of the prophet and his persecuted followers is vividly described in Isaiah 21:13-17. That section foretold as well about the battle of Badr in which the few ill-armed faithful miraculously defeated the "mighty" men of Ke'dar, who sought to destroy Islam and intimidate their own folks who turned -to Islam.
THE QUR'AN (KORAN) FORETOLD IN THE BIBLE?
For twenty-three years, God's words (the Qur'an) were truely put into Muhammad's mouth. He was not the "author" of the Qur'an. The Qur'an was dictated to him by Angel Gabriel who asked Muhammad to simply repeat the words of the Qur'an as he heard them. These words were then committed to memory and to writing by those who hear them during Muhammad's life time and under his supervision.
Was it a coincidence that the prophet "like unto Moses" from the "brethren" of the Israelites (i.e. from the lshmaelites) was also described as one in whose mouth God will put his words and that he will speak in the name of God, (Deuteronomy 18:18-20). Was it also a coincidence the "Paraclete" that Jesus foretold to come after Him was described as one who "shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak (John 16:13)
Was it another coincidence that Isaiah ties between the messenger connected with Ke'dar and a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sang unto the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11). More explicitly, prophesies Isaiah "For with stammering lips, and another tongue, will he speak to this people" (Isaiah 28:11). This latter verse correctly describes the "stammering lips" of Prophet Muhammad reflecting the state of tension and concentration he went through at the time of revelation. Another related point is that the Qur'an was revealed in piece-meals over a span of twenty three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28:10 which speaks of the same thing.
THAT PROPHET- PARACLETE- MUHAMMAD
Up to the time of Jesus (peace be upon him), the Israelites were still awaiting for that prophet like unto Moses prophecied in Deuteronomy 18:18. When John the Baptist came, they asked him if he was Christ and he said "no". They asked him if he was Elias and he said "no". Then, in apparent reference to Deuteronomy 18:18, they asked him "Art thou that Prophet" and he answered, "no". (John 1: 1 9-2 1).
In the Gospel according to John (Chapters 14, 15, 16) Jesus spoke of the "Paraclete" or comforter who will come after him, who will be sent by Father as another Paraclete, who will teach new things which the contemporaries of Jesus could not bear. While the Paraclete is described as the spirit of truth, (whose meaning resemble Muhammad's famous title Al-Amin, t
he trustworthy), he is identified in one verse as the Holy Ghost (John 14:26). Such a designation is however inconsistent with the profile of that Paraclete. In the words of the Dictionary of the Bible, (Ed. J. Mackenzie) "These items, it must be admitted do not give an entirely coherent picture."
Indeed history tells us that many early Christians understood the Paraclete to be a man and not a spirit. This might explain the followings who responded to some who claimed, without meeting the criteria stipulated by Jesus, to be the awaited "Paraciete".
It was Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was the Paraclete, Comforter, helper, admonisher sent by God after Jesus. He testified of Jesus, taught new things which could not be borne at Jesus' time, he spoke what he heard (revelation), he dwells with the believers (through his well-preserved teachings). Such teachings will remain forever because he was the last messenger of God, the only Universal Messenger to unite the whole of humanity under God and on the path of PRESERVED truth. He told of many things to come which "came to pass" in the minutest detail meeting, the criterion given by Moses to distinguish between the true prophet and the false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:22). He did reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement (John 16:8-11)
WAS THE SHIFT OF RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP PROPHECIED?
Following the rejection of the last Israelite prophet, Jesus, it was about time that God's promise to make Ishmael a great nation be fulfilled (Genesis 21:13, 18)
In Matthew 21:19-21, Jesus spoke of the fruitless fig tree (A Biblical symbol of prophetic heritage) to be cleared after being given a last chance of three years (the duration of Jesus' ministry) to give fruit. In a later verse in the same chapter, Jesus said: "Therefore, say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruit thereof" (Matthew 21:43). That nation of Ishmael's descendants (the rejected stone in Matthew 21:42) which was victorious against all super-powers of its time as prophesied by Jesus: "And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder" (Matthew 21:44)
;
OUT OF CONTEXT COINCIDENCE?
Is it possible that the numerous prophecies cited here are all individually and combined out of context misinterpretations? Is the opposite true, that such infrequently studied verses fit together consistently and clearly point to the advent of the man who changed the course of human history, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Is it reasonable to conclude that all these prophecies, appearing in different books of the Bible and spoken by various prophets at different times were all coincidence? If this is so here is another strange "coincidence"!
One of the signs of the prophet to come from Paran (Mecca) is that he will come with "ten thousands of saints" (Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV). That was the number of faithful who accompanied Prophet Muhammad to Paran (Mecca) in his victorious, bloodless return to his birthplace to destroy the remaining symbols of idolatry in the Ka'bah.
Says God as quoted by Moses:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:19)
Dear Readers:
May the light of truth shine in your heart and mind. May it lead you to peace and certitude in this life and eternal bliss in hereafter.
AMEEN.

I have never seen a pastor preaching a sermon solely on Muhammad but in mosques and other places, you find imams and other clerics trying to discredit Jesus Christ. For your info, truth is one: that Christ himself said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to Jehovah except through Jesus.

For your information,the Quran Honours Mary as the women chosen above women of all the nations and their is a chapter dedicated to her in Quran called chapter 19, Mary and Jesus(Peace be on him) was the mightiest messengers of God, he was born miraculously without any male intervention, he healed all the blind and sick by God’s Permission. And no Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ as the messenger of God, and Jesus is coming back to this world, and this is our emaan our faith. Jesus says in the Bible that” on that day many will come to me and say, “Lord Lord have we not done mighty works in thy name, in thy name cast out devils.Jesus says” You evil people depart from me, I never knew you”
The Jews heaped curses upon him and alleged that he had died on the cross, which they regarded according to the Scriptures as an accursed death. Did the Christians, inspired by the Holy Ghost, clear him of this? No! On the contrary, they assisted the Jews in their blasphemous propaganda, by admitting his death on the cross. Furthermore, they imputed to him the most abominable offense, namely, that he called himself the son of God in the literal sense."I shall purify thee (O Jesus) of all the false charges imputed to thee by the disbelievers." (Al-Quran 3:56)

Simon – not Simon Peter
Posted by Zia Shah
By Sardar Anees Ahmad
Abstract:
Simon, according to the Gospels, was the foundation for the church and was given the title “Cephas” or “the rock” – “Peter” serving as its translated form. Research, however, reveals Simon receiving this title is most inappropriate.
“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18).
After Jesus Christ, the most prominent New Testament personality is that of Simon Peter. An unlettered fisherman who became the first pope and one of the earliest martyrs of Christianity, Peter is an inspiration to Christians worldwide. Encyclopædia Britannica notes [1] Peter was resolute [2] while gentle [3], and a wise and adept leader. [4] His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI noted that Peter’s example illustrates, “You think you have the recipe and that it is up to you to transform Christianity, but it is the Lord who knows the way. It is the Lord who says to me, who says to you: follow me! And we must have the courage and humility to follow Jesus, because he is the Way, the Truth and the Life.”[5] Again, Pope Benedict notes, “Peter is responsible for guaranteeing communion with Christ.” [6]
But careful study reveals that Peter’s example is not that reliable.
To begin, while (Matthew 16:18) states that Jesus himself gave Peter the title of “Cephas” – lit. rock, stone, (Matthew 10:2) states that Simon was known as Peter. In other words, Matthew’s account states that Jesus gave Peter this title but also suggests that Simon was known as “Peter” before Christ’s advent. If so, this “rock” does not seem to be that sturdy. But what other information does the Bible give in support of either one of these two views?
When the Romans come to arrest Christ, Simon draws his sword and smites the high priest’s ear (Matthew 26:51; Mark 14:47; John 18:10). While one can understand why emotions would run high during such an occasion, if Pope Benedict is correct in assuming Simon guarantees communion with Christ, he should be in full control of his emotions. For what precedence does Simon’s example set for Christians when confronted with a similar situation? Simon’s example demonstrates it is permissible to allow for one’s emotions to dominate oneself, clearly contradicting Christ’s teaching of forgiveness (Matthew 5:39). One may argue that Christ’s harsh rebuke demonstrates Simon’s behavior was unacceptable. Remember, however, that this is the man upon whom the entire church was to be founded. What building can stand with such an unpredictable foundation?
Pope Benedict acknowledges[7] Simon was impulsive, which earned a severe rebuke from Jesus, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men” (Mark 8:33). Pope Benedict argues the incident demonstrates Peter’s ever evolving understanding of God’s plan. Unfortunately, Pope Benedict ignores the import of Jesus’ usage of “Satan.” In Hebrew, “Satan” means an adversary. “Satan” here may refer to Simon’s incomplete faith, but it can also refer to serious moral imperfections which Simon possessed at the time. Whatever the case, if improvement is not exhibited it would not be wise to found the entire church on such a personality. One may assume Simon’s disposition changes as Christ’s ministry continues, but events leading up to and including the crucifixion demonstrate Simon was no Peter.
Despite Christ instructing Simon to “strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:32) and Simon boldly declaring that he will stand beside Christ whatever the circumstance, Christ famously prophecies that Simon will disown him three times before the cock crows (Matthew 26:33-34; Mark 14:29-30; Luke 22:31-34; John 13:37-38). And Simon did not disappoint (Matthew 26:71-75; Mark 14:50, 66-71; Luke 22:57-59; John 18:15-18, 25-27). While those denied Christ’s company weep at being denied such a blessing, the man upon whom the church was to be founded could not muster up enough courage to declare his loyalty to Christ – a loyalty he had previously so boldly declared! Simon’s actions not only disrespect Christ, but also contravene the message of every prophet of God – to abstain from appeasing the masses when it requires the sacrifice of truth.
Prior to the crucifixion, Christ is extremely perturbed and repeatedly prays that he avoid the crucifixion (Matthew 26:39; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42). Despite being removed by 2 millennia, today one can still sense the anguish with which Christ is offering these prayers. But what do we see of Christ’s contemporaries, namely Simon? We read when Jesus takes him to Garden of Gethseme he repeatedly falls asleep, rather than pray for Christ’s safety (Matthew 26:40, 43, 45; Mark 14:37-41, 40-41; Luke 22:45). Note the disappointment in Christ’s words: “”Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?” (Mark 14:37). The night before the crucifixion, Christ has yet to earn the most basic respect from Peter, or any of the other disciples! Moreover, Simon, along with the rest of the disciples, abandoned Christ at the crucifixion (Matthew 27:55; Mark 15:40; Luke 23:49; John 19:25). A dog exhibits more loyalty to his master than Simon did at this moment.
Based upon the Gospel narrative, it is incredible to allege this man exhibited the qualities upon which one should found a new world order. It seems Christ’s utterance of “Satan” indicates a far more severe assessment of Simon than Pope Benedict admits.

IF IT IS NOT A CRIME TO BUILD CASTLES IN THE AIR, IT MUST ALSO BE COMMENDABLE TO BE SINCERELY WRONG ABOUT BIBLICAL ISSUES.

THE ONLY INCIDENT OF A JOBLESS MAN MARRYING A WORKING WOMAN SHOULD BE WHEN THE WOMAN, OUT OF HER LOVE FOR THE JOBLESS MAN, OR HER FAILURE TO 'FIND HER MR. RIGHT,' ACCEPTS TO MARRY A JOBLESS MAN. THE WRITER CANNOT BE A COMMITTED CHRISTIAN CONVERSANT WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE ISSUES RAISED.

The question still remains, why are more women converting than men to Islam ?
Perhaps they realize their Soul is worth the Factual Research.
1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original
Sinners, (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden
tree){Genesis 2:4-3:24}. The Koran Clarifies it
was Adam Not Eve {Qur'an 7:19-25}
2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a
loss" {Ecclesiasticus 22:3}. The Qur'an says both
are an Equal Blessing { Qur'an 42:49}
3. The Bible Forbids Women from Speaking in
church {I Corinthians 14:34-35}. The Qur'an says
Women Can argue with the Prophet {58:1}
4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as
an Adulteress, while men are not {Matthew 5:31-32}. The
Koran does Not have Biblical double standards
{ Qur'an 30:21}
5. In The Bible, Widows and Sisters do Not
Inherit Any Property or Wealth, Only men
do{Numbers 27:1-11}The Koran Abolished this
male greediness { Qur'an 4:22} and God Protects
All.
6. The Bible Allows Multiple Wives{I Kings 11:3}
In The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only
under certain situations (with the Wife's
permission)and Prefers you Marry Only One
Wife{ Qur'an 4:3} The Koran gives the Woman
the Right to Choose who to Marry.
7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not
pledged to be married and rapes her and they are
discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty
shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he
has violated her. He can never divorce her as long
as he lives" {Deuteronomy 22:28-30}
One must ask a simple question here, who is
really punished, the man who raped the woman or
the woman who was raped? According to the
Bible, you have to spend the Rest of Your Life
with the man who Raped You.
The Prophet Muhammad Says {Volume 9, Book
86, Number 101} Narrated by Aisha:" It is
essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the
marriage)".
Would the Christian men Reading this prefer the
Women they know to Be Christian or Muslim?

The Holy Qur’an is the religious Scripture which says that…Marry only one. It says in Surah Nisa Ch. No. 4, V. No. 3, “Marry woman of your choice, in twos, threes or fours. But if you cannot do justice, marry only one” – Islam puts an upper limit. In other ways of life, you can marry as many as you want – no upper limit according to the bible.
Women Need Husbands - Allah Provided the Answer
The prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) predicted that in the Last Days the women would outnumber the men to a great extent. Today we are seeing this become a reality all over the world.
Islam Didn’t Invent Polygamy but Only Regulated It—in Favor of Women!
From the above accounts, we can clearly see that Prophets—including Muhammad—were allowed to be more polygamous than their followers, not just for carnal reasons, but for political and religious reasons pertaining to their call. Consequently, it is groundless to wonder why Muslims can’t marry 12 wives like their prophet, just as it is groundless to wonder why Jews and Christians can’t marry 700 like theirs! Islam didn’t invent polygamy; Islam only made polygamy more humane, instituting equal rights for all wives. And even so, Muslim women are not forced to accept this and may put a condition against it in their marriage contract.

Wow sister, what an opinion piece! Well done. In fact Christianity has become 'churchianity'. The true Christian teachings espoused by Jesus are completely lost on the church leaders of today. You are right, materialism has taken over and is preached day and night in the pulpits and elsewhere. Service is abandoned, and true LOVE is not in existence in the church any more. You are better off to stay out of the church and practise true Christianity outside by loving God with all your heart and soul and your neighbour as yourself.

You sound like you're the descendant of Adam's first wife, Lilith - read Genesis 1:27. According to the Midrash, this first woman, who was created equally from the earth, just like Adam, refused to submit to Adam; and even during sex, refused to lie beneath Adam. The tension between them was so much that Lilith eventually couldn't stand up to Adam's quest for superiority over her, and left. Later, Adam cried out to God, and He made Eve, the second wife, from his ribs...read Genesis 2:27. You see, the entire biblical stories are all based on ancient Sumerian and Egyptian Mythologies. None of the characters ever existed. Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Queen of Sheba and all the rest are purely based on ancient myths. The rest of the new testament is also more of astrotheology than physical characters that existed. They are allegories. The story of the birth of Jesus, the visitation of the three wise men from the east,the 12 disciples, starting the ministry at age of 30, his death and resurrection are all based on the zodiac which is the worship of the sun god. Africans should start digging into our history before slavery to appreciate who we are!!!

Kindred of My Spirit!
You have stated facts as they are. Neither man nor woman who is sincere, honest, and true to self and to fellow human being can live by such one-sided religious dictates. The best and most humane edict to aspire in living by is simply,"Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself!" And by the same token, we remember that in most cases, "What is good for the goose is good for the gander!"
Acting with fairness (or equity) towards others rewards us a clean conscience which in turn blesses a union, be it a marriage or a friendship.
After all, we are constantly reminded to " Do Unto Others As We Would Have Done Unto Us."

Dear Feminist:
It is clear from your writing that you have been dealt a few wrong hands by the "church" assembly you chose to agree with instead of the Word of God. Many of these "African churches" DO NOT teach sound church doctrine and instead teach all kinds of strange UNBIBLICAL nonsense. I know this very well because I have often spoken against this fervently.
In addition, let me say that you seem to be out of touch with what Yeshua taught from the scriptures. Perhaps you are one of the many who started going to "church" to simply look for a man. I have seen many of these kinds over time and usually end up having to boot them out of the church in season simply because they are heathen and do not love truth at all.
Lastly, perhaps your feminism is getting in the way of your love for God and His truth? Consider it...hell is a nasty place.
God bless you and may He show you your future without Him.

...not everything that is wisdom is explicitly stated in scripture.
You are obviously a feminist who HATES truth. The Bible did not need to tell you that a woman should know how to cook. A responsible ADULT must know how to cook, clean and see to the welfare of children if they want them. Do you need the Bible to tell you that? What were you doing with all your years of observation and reason according to wisdom?
Silly thinking is what your generation is all about. You think life is a bed of roses for you to play in sometimes. It does not work that way.
And besides, SUBMISSION is a contextual teaching. We submit to fathers, mothers, leaders and other authorities in order to keep society grounded. Husbands should be just and wives will naturally submit to them unless they are the WHORISH kind who do not obey anything at all.

Thank you very RIGHT I hope you have just see very tiny of TODAY'S DECEITFUL SO-CALLED BIG MEN OF GOD. The biggest LIE IS THAT NOWHERE ANY PERSON CANT QUESTION REAL PASTOR OR THESR THIEVES CALLED PASTOTS. Let me prove you, God gave correct ANSWER ALL WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE for His people to any question.
Prov 22:20-21; Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest ANSWER THE WORDS OF TRUTH to them that send unto thee?
1 Peter 3:15; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: AND BE READY ALWAYS TO GAVE ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU, WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR. Amen
Please everyone there, I sincerely asking to let the pastors, those said the Bible says WE SHOULD NOT ASK OR QUESTION THEM, to read the just few cited verses above. The jehovah's witnesses have the same secret GRIPS BINDING their totally dead brain members, to keep them in totally prison. Please all that have been going in the churches are TOTALLY FAKE. No where did God command any person to pray for ONE HOUR, the one hour was a symbolic of Christ to Peter, James and John. He told THEM "WHAT, COULD YE NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR?" Matt 26:37-47. Please read the context ask yourself DID CHRIST HIMSELF PRAYED FOR 1 HOUR? Please read the following prayers of people, did they prayer for one hour? Elijah, 1 Kings 17:19-24, 18:36-40, Hezekiah's prayer Isaiah 38:1-5, just to cite few. As I said today's churches are all fake, PLEASE BE SINCERELY INFORMED THAT ALL MARRIAGES IN THE CHURCHES ARE UNBIBLICAL but the pastors succeed in twisting the Bible supporting it. Please whether you agree or not, NO WHERE DO GROOM AND BRIDE BUY marriage CETTIFICATE. The marriage certificate is called "TOKEN OF VIRGINITY" OR VIRGIN BLOODY CLOTH see Deut 22 13-30. Before marriage both MUST BE VIRGINS, so the certificate is producing from a second stage called CONSUMMATION. Please sorry I leave you to search the Bible yourself and if you can't please am sincerely available so you can contact me for full written details. In the last days, the world will be full with DECEITFUL FALSE BIG MEN OF GOD. In such case but there will be poor youth with the truth to stand for God. Anaba Two. Thank you.

My dear, if two bosses live in the same office, what do you think will happen? Imagine two Presidents in Ghana.
God created the world this way to give it balance. When you are attacked by an armed rubber, who will you run to? A man or a woman? Let's face it, men are the head of the home and responsible for taking care of the home. Women are the managers of the home. There's is a difference.
I don't know your background but even in Europe, it is accepted.
You talk exactly like someone who doesn't understand the sexuality of men. The sexual libido of men is different from women. This is why women control themselves better than men. That is not an excuse for cheating. But that is the work of creation. Even animals recognize this.
In Africa, cooking is a big deal. A woman born and breaded in Africa who cannot cook is usually a lazy and unsupportive woman. Get this into your head and find operate within your space.
Quiting Church won't make you a man or the head of your family.
Even lesbians recognize this.

I love your insight, argument, presentation (with satisfactory evidence for the space and piece), intelligently funny anecdotes: I love you for writing this VERY NECESSARY piece, how you wrote it, and sharing it here. It is frustrating to keep coming back to illogical pieces in TERRIBLE writing too on Ghanaweb. It is CERTAINLY VERY FRUSTRATING to keep hearing what we have come to accept as CHRISTIANITY and its unnecessarily loud and empty "preaching" - I can't even call it sermon, which will make it sound like that "on the mount" by our LORD. Please, write more and on anything especially this subject: it is sad to hear the so-called “men” (yes they always are) “of God” talk about wealth even during a funeral service for a corpse (probably dressed-up) on its way to the earth in a piece of decomposable wawa, odum or whatever wood as its accompanying property – regardless of however many mansions or adult toys (we call cars) they have accumulated. You are a prophet (what do you think about prophetess? I am skeptical about such words that sound divisive, nay very sexist) sent to save us from the trickery of modern (capitalist) christianity (yes, with a small c). Write on, sis! This bro here loves you, a rare kind of brain!

My advice is that, read your bible, attend a bible-believing church and pray for directions from the Holy Spirit who was promised by Jesus as our helper in times like these. Remember the bible says work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. As well know that Jesus emphatically said perilous times like you describe would come. So getting angry is tantamount to not believing what is written in your own bible.

Many who attend Church, even if occasionally, think they are in the Church. I'm afraid, based on many of the things you've shared, that you were not in the Church to begin with. You enter the Church through a genuine experience of the New Birth, possible only by repentance from sin and faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. From that point, one begins his or her Christian journey, evidenced by his or her obedience to the Word of God, even the ones he or she finds difficult.
True members of the Church correct falsehood and work to strengthen it, including by their own examples; they don't quit because some preacher said something they disagree with or find offensive.

"The man is the head of the woman" that was a curse in the garden of Eden. If Jesus Christ has come to die to break those curses then why are we still claiming them? or is it because it favours men. When we keep preaching this curses as doctrines, we are telling Jesus that his death on the cross was useless and that his blood did not break those curses in the garden of Eden. That his wors that "it is finished" is a lie. What are we claiming that the curses are broken or that they are not?

3dem thanks for your response.I just needed to correct you quickly.The church must be careful not to allow world knowledge to distort what the Bible teaches.The Bible asks the man to love his wife and the wife to submit.This is what Paul taught the church.The Bible teaches that a woman's beauty isn't in the ornaments and jewelleries she has on but in her submission to her husband.These are all new testament teachings and not curses.The man being the head of the woman wasn't also a cure in the garden.Study 1 Corinthian's 11:3 and Ephesians 5:23.My wife's attitude towards me at home made it easy for me to stop an immoral habit I had carried into marriage.Let us be careful not to raise unruly women in our homes.The church cannot bear the consequences.

Sister, you have done well in speaking out. The reason why these so called men of God seem to be thriving is because the true men of God are not standing up to confront the false with the truth. Find yourself a true bible believing, teaching church and you will find peace. When in doubt you are to believe God not men. Study the bible and thru the help of the Holy Spirit God will reveal to you the truth of His Word. As for the men twisting the truth, pray for them.

You are taking statements out of their context and somehow find a way to link it to sexism. I believe you've become a victim of sexism before, and it has clouded your real judgement.
But anyways, you're a Christian and your Christian life must be a relationship between you and God, and not with a Pastor or sermon.
God be with you, and always remember, JESUS LOVES AND TREATS US EQUALLY, GENDER NOTWITHSTANDING.

Go to any of these so called "churches" and you will find that the majority of the congregants are women who go there to satisfy their greed for material things and to look for patners.Don't look further than the gospel tv stations.Like I said the greed of many women makes them oblivious of the tricks of the so called men of God. Anyway women are treated better in the church environment than elsewhere.Talking about multiple partners, is it not true that muslim men can marry up to about four women?

You call yourself a christian because of fear. You are made to believe leaving abandoning christianity means you are abandoning God. Not so. Christianity exiled God to goodness knows where and they are expecting him to come sometime in the future. Nyamewaa, your ancestors taught that God is everywhere and in you also. So you are God.

Hello there. Looking at ministers with eyes of suspicion and hatred will always make you overemphasize their pitfalls. Have you made mistakes? Dyu make mistakes?
I thought u were also going to provide scriptural references to your thoughts but you didn't. Again, your supposed boldness of calling out names of anointed ministers and critiquing their thoughts do not make you better. Marrying a partner means she must be part of whatever I do. She must be a backbone to the spirituality of the family.
you seem to be looking for evidence outside scripture. But dyu claim there are many women who portrayed boldness in the bible than men? The ratio is not even equal. men dominate. Read the Bible clearly. And stop oversimplifying theories. Bishop Agyin Asare did not say there has not been any bold woman, he was talking about proportions!
And on Bishop Dag, did you listen to the whole message? Have you ever listened to "Know your Men"? When we preach, we cannot address everything at the same time. We can only preach from a given perspective until another time. When a woman indugles in multiple sexual sins, she destroys her body as the Scriptures say. not all may be strong enough to stay out of guilt n self condemnation. is that not a negative effect?
but that is not it! Your main interest is not what you put here! Of course, your main interest is to downplay spiritual authority and scandalize the church! And with all our weakness, Masa the church is not coming down. we are built on Christ the solid rock!
I advise you to be part of those who help find solutions to problems in the church than to enumerate them and receive applause!
