Mr best man, Pls become a pastor today and give us this your utopian example or else you shut up.

I'm not responsible for your poverty and frustration, what I typed is from the Bible those men use to preach.

Go and give your phone to someone with an IQ higher than yours to read and explain my post to you.

Nice one. if it is just by books our nigerian pastors would be worth billions-i doubt if chimamanda or soyinka dey sell pass them not to talk of tapes and pastoral offerings. However, i dont think it is appropriate to call it Oyedepo universities. CU and LMU are both registered under World Missions Agency an arm of LFC-the fact that they made this mistake is enough reason to doubt everything they wrote there. Secondly, this matter only concerns christians. there is no need to give ur self(Atheist) headache over what is non of ur business
who owns LFC?

Jesus has no use nor need for private jets. The issue of who owns the private jets are cloudy. It maybe the church or Oyedepo himself.

Of course Christ is the owner of any christian university.

Muslims don't pay tithe and offerings to enrich individuals. There are rather advice to give arms (Sadaqa) and zakat directly to the needy.

Some are poor and some are comfortable, I've done my research and not a single CLERIC is super rich with one or two private jet. Been a Muslim cleric do not make them a head of money making institution, rather, a spiritual head and a guardian.

if Jesus has no need 4 private jets y would he want 2 own a university Christian or otherwise?let's agree with u that Christ owns Christian universities. If that's true, would he charge d fees Christian universities presently charge?

Concerning d private jets, LFC is a ministry, an organization owned and controlled by one man, David oyedepo.so if LFC has jets, then isn't it obvious who owns d jets?

This just goes to show that christianity in Nigeria is now a biz venture. And come to think of it, these wealth were accumulated from the coeffers of offering made by their members, some very poor.
A pastor has 2 private uni, for the rich, with money from the poor.

17 As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.” 21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But at these words [a]he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.

Mark 10:17-27

Re: Seven Nigerians Make List Of Top 20 World Richest Pastors [see List] by abimic(m): 9:14pm On Jul 31, 2017
Imagine pastors listed as richest till the extent a statistics was drawn, Nigerians are too churchy, yet many sins pervade in the land when pastors are more concerned with growing their wealth base, infact, with the number of churches and how churchy people are in Nigeria, I expected we should be least corrupt. Anyway, if my pastor preaches modesty, he can never be found in that list. Money is good, but modesty is the best. I respect the catholics, Anglicans, Deeper life, orthodox...etc!

Church is not our problem. It is however a problem. All these tithes and offerings and all other rubbish people give in church can be used for better things in the society

Tithes and offerings are willing contributions made by MEMBERS of the Church of God for the advancement of God's Kingdom here on earth.

Yet, we all pay compulsory donations to the govt in form of tax regardless of your religion, and how has that affected the society?

Those that go to mosque also contribute to advance their course, even Atheists are sponsored by some people.

You are just a deluded fellow set out to traduce the body of Christ. Deal with this thorn in your flesh before it tears you apart.

Then stick to your religion if it serves you well and stop discrediting others'.

Those paying tithes and offering in Christianity are not complaining. They know why they do so. (Study Kings Solomon's life, the widow of Zarephat and even John D. Rockefeller and what giving meant to them). There are many 'Christians' who don't give and yet they are out to criticize.
Fact is, it's not compulsory, and if you feel your pastor is fake, change your congregation. Period.

And who says they are "paying" to enrich anybody? Obviously your knowledge of this subject is limited.

While there are some fake "pastors" out there who prey, there are also fake Alfas who are nothing but ritualists. So let Christians deal with their doctrine while you stay on your chosen lane. Meanwhile have you resolved the issues of Almajiris? Do those ones pay Tithes and Offering too?
