A lot of people want God to be something great and mighty that is under their control. They can never get that so they resolve to attack the faith of those who took God as He is and are enjoying His benevolence. God can never be a computer program or anything relating to genetic code. That is what scientist are working so hard to build.

This life is a mystery we can NEVER understand, you try your best to think about everything and you still can't solve. Bad things happen to good people while good things happen to bad people you just can't understand this life

Good day, Fellas. Why do some people assume that that those christians who suffers misfortunes are not christians or their ways aren't pure or straight b4 God? Even many fellow Xtians do assume that way.
. Because those people that you called Christians are not, they a religious people. Being religious is quite different from being a Christ followers. There is no difference between Christians of nowadays and Pharisees and saducces. Religious people like to defend God, their Papa's, Daddy GO'S, Pastors and Bishop while early Christians didn't do that.

These assumptions only come from other Christians, especially Nigerians. It is fueled by modern day prosperity preachers who believe once you are born again, you should be rich, healthy and without any challenges. Modern day Christians are hypocrites.

Christianity doesn't have a standard interpretation of the word of the bible, no harmonized standard way of life hence every factions/ denominations have some part of the bible to justify their idea or knowledge of whatever life throw at their members.

Additionally, Bible is such a detail book that can be use to justify anything and everything depending on the point you want to score....Bible is your best friend, it will always support your claims.
The word "bible" means combination of books. What do you expect?
When different books without direct correlation where falsely combined together to become a book.
Every sect of christianity hav a tangible evident to back up their claims.
Jehovah witness will tell you that 144,000 people will make heaven. Yes is boldly written there in the book of Revelation 14.

First, No Scriptural Basis that Justify that poor Christians are Sinners. It was clearly a motive by pastorpreneurs to Devide and Rule...
The Good News is that The Early Apostles Recognized the position of the poor in the church, they further make provision for their needs..let's read

Acts 2:44,45
And all that believed were together, and had all things common; …

Acts 4:34
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were shared according to their needs.
...
Pastorspreneurs Attack the Acts of Apostles in respect to treating the poor...and replaced it with their man made philosophy that providing for the poor is promoting laziness... Forgetting that Only God rewards our kindness to the poor...but the greedy pastors still wants to take the little that the poor have

When Christians attribute everything good that happens to Jesus then it's just common sense that when those good things are not happening for you then it's automatically assumed that you are not right with Jesus ..

They are spiritual illiterate like the believers of old

Jn9-12

Jesus saw a man who had been blind since birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus replied: Neither this man nor his parents sinned ... but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him

Some years ago while i was still experiencing hell on earth like financial hardship and hunger strike. It got a point that i became sick. I rarely find food to eat or eat well. Though, i was committed to the things of God. Some folks who barely know what i was going tru then started assuming that my experience was as a result of my laziness, some even said that i was suffering because i have deviated from the ways of the Lord. Even in the church, some folks also assumed that way. I just kept mute and was just looking at them.
This is same foolishness christians exhibit when they assume we atheists became atheists due to trauma and harsh life experiences, our search to sin freely without guilt, or a deficiency in biblical knowledge.

Because most preachers preach to non Christians that whatever problem(s) they have is because they don't believe in Jesus and that giving their lives to Christ is the solution

When you hear preachers preaching they'll tell you about how your life in Jesus would be sweet, how all your problems would go away or at least your life would improve if you accept a Jew killed by three nails in a Small Israeli village aeons ago died for your sins. This is what preachers and evangelists preach. Infact they'll say the issues you're going through are there because you lack Jesus and haven't given your life to him, they use real life examples like
"You've been struggling and can't make ends meet"
"Your mates are making it and they've left you behind"
"your marriage has been barren, no children"
"You can't get a spouse, they're all turning your proposals down or they're not proposing (for the women)"
"you lost your job"
"You're fighting a disease, your health is deteriorating. doctors have given you just a few more years to live"

They tell listeners Jesus is the answer, they'll then cite examples of people who've been married for years with no children but pregnancy came almost as soon as they gave their lives to Christ. examples of people who's business boomed as soon as they accepted Jewish mythology. They'll talk about a jobless person who got a high paying job as soon as he accepted zombies rose out of their graves and walked around Jerusalem. They'll talk about how they drove a car from Ore to Lagos on empty tank because they believed Jesus flew bodily out of earth

They'll spice it up with "testimony time" where people would come out and say they dodged a bullet by the power of a Jew amongst many other ridiculous stories


This is the Christianity preachers and evangelists sell to the non Christians and they get a few members here and there from such messages but such converts finds out very quickly that this new Awesome life in Christ falls far short of some kind of divinely orchestrated masterpiece. They have that sickness, their businesses are still failing, they still haven't gotten the child, their marriage is still unloving, still no fiancé or fiancée, still can't get jobs etc. infact their problems didn't disappear but probably got worse. Jesus is supposed to be divinely guiding their new lives from morning pee to dreamland and everything in between, but it seems that the Christians have a "plain ole life" just like all the heathen and unbelievers. infact there's NO difference between their former lives and this new one


I'm of the opinion that those Christians that think the way these preachers package and sell Christianity is wrong owe it to Jesus to pushback against it and call out these preachers for not preaching the way its supposed to be. But they won't do that, why? I have a theory. its the same reason adverts of most drugs talk about what sickness the drug would cure but its when you buy it that you see its side effects in barely visible fine print on the container of the drug. its the same reason fast food companies print unrealistic pictures of burgers, looking "sexy" and 100000% bigger than its life size. Its the same reason designer clothing companies Photoshop their models to make them look unrealistically sexy in their clothes etc Christianity is just another business and lies are welcome cuz the end justifies the means.....just like most of the pharmaceutical, fast food and clothing businesses
Respect.

I once went to my church.. wanted to see the Pst..

Things are not going so well with me and my family then..so I needed prayer as a believe prayer will do alot in solving most of the issue


So after Sunday service..I walk to see Pst..it was a Big Church.. among top 5 biggest Church in Nigeria

But I was stop by one of the Pastor..who offered to hear from me reasons why I wanted to see senior Pst

So he asked me..why do you want to see the Pst...

I told him..I need prayer

So he ask me what was wrong


I took my time to details to him what am passing through.. I just graduate from University and will leaving to NYSC and more over my family are passing through difficult time.. we just lost our a years plus ago


I was surprised after telling the Pastor all this..

Only for the Pst to ask me.. Am my a tither?

I answered, Yes I'm..I do pay my tithe

So he ask again. Have ever eaten you tither before.. I mean are you a faithful tithers.

And I told him, I was not...am a student..before now.. some time I eat my tithe

So the Pst conclusion was.. my problem and that of my family. Was because am not a faithful tither

That I don't need prayer, but consistent and faithful in tithing...

After hearing this..I failed off. Went into deep depression. Start regretting all the tithe I have eaten..

Including the 100 naira profit I once made..which I eat the 10 naira tithe fee on it


This regret and depression never go a way so soon. It stays with me for years..not until I came to the knowledge of tithe.

May God continue to help us

Bible isn't detailed and you cannot logically reason the bible. You need to find the life from the seed, that's what the Bible is.

Ever wonder why people who seem to go to church never feel fulfilled or pretend till their death they've found the word. It's becuase they neither know or have the knowledge of God's word.

The bible even says itself. "The wisdom of man is foolishness unto God." So why would we humans logically reason God's word and see it as a story book or history book?

Jesus our Lord spoke in parables. And parables are fables with a message. But you'll see people taking the parables literally.

This is what has sustained Christianity for this long......quoting one sentence, word, reference and chapter......and funny enough, the quoted verse/verses is still dependent and subjected to the grace or holy spirit or anointed preacher for meaningful interpretation.

Now go back and read my statement with an open mind.
