I truly wonder what is happening nowadays inside churches. First, we heard a pastor brainwashing members to eat grass. Another pastor sprayed insecticide on members as "anointment". Another pastor said that his semen is "holy milk". Another pastor impregnated a woman that was looking for cure for a sickness.

And today, I am hearing that a pastor said that he wrestled God in heaven- WWE style like John Cena with suplex and submission moves.


Dear friends, is something wrong with christianity nowadays?

Dear Superhumanist,
Nothing is wrong with Christianity: God has not changed and he won't. The Bible doesn't have a second edition yet.

But as for the mortals you mentioned, they're obviously not representing the God of the Christians in this matter.
But we as Christians are not ashamed, neither are really surprised because it has been recorded centuries before now that such events will occur.
This further strengthens rather than weaken our faith in the omniscient God whom we believe and serve.

First, you should define the term 'Christianity'
..

Secondly, nothing is wrong with it but the people who call themselves Christians n prophets who have been hi jacked by a different spirit that is not of GOD. A good tree can't bear bad fruits. The spirit of God has its fruits, which is evident in the works of the true believers n ministers of GOD.

Like the first two commenters has said already nothing is wrong can be wrong with Christianity. The Bible prefigured all these to take place so aren't surprised. Just that Christians are ought to be wise like the serpent to discern God sent, but unfortunately they aren't they choose to remain dumb.

I feel that your view on these crazy pastor is both nonchalant and dangerous. It is like you are denying that christians (the crazy pastors) can do bad things and also, it is like you have no empathy for the members of those churches who are being abused and deceived.

Read my replies to the two commenters. Christians can do wrong.

These are signs from your Lord for those that observe and thinks.

Central message to all God revealed religion is:

Mankind were only commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give Zakah (Charity). And that is the correct religion.

Worshiping Jesus, creating sects, false miracles, apparent scam by men of God is not what God ordained to mankind.

You misunderstood me. I didn't deny that Christians can do those crazy things. In fact, I said it's not surprising cos it's been prophecied.

And as for empathy, your post wasn't about the members, but the pastors.

If they are not like Christ, then they are not worthy to be called Christians..

Thank you...

Sir, preaching islam here is not the answer. It is not like there arent hate preachers, murderous clerics and bad imams in islam.

Prophecy? Then what is the point if even your God could see that your religion is doomed with false preachers? It sounds self defeating.

It also sounds as a lazy excuse to avoid dealing with this issue. Because it is prophesied, we shoud not do anything about these crazy pastors?

Bad imams, terrorist, murderous clerics etc. are responsible for their sins but you are responsible for your sin.

Telling you that Islam is the truth is the right thing to do. Accepting or rejecting is ur decision alone.

Yes, prophecy. Our God knew it will happen that's why He informed us ahead so we can be prepared for it. It could have been avoided, but that lies with we men, not God.

I can't guess how it sounds to you, and I'm not sure if you read my post or reading something else into it. By we, do you mean atheists or Christians? Cos we Christians are doing something about it as it's a family affair.
At no point did I say nothing should be done about it. I'm curious, what do you intend to do about it?

"We" as in, all of us. Honest people.

@superhumanist,


Yes, there is something wrong with Christianity today(just as there was always something wrong with Christianity from day one)!!!

Only this time around, they are finally diving into "unchartered depths of stupidity"!!!

It seems like it has become harder for pastors to fleece the sheeple. The internet is destroying ignorance while competing churches also steal some sheep away.

They have to be crazier nowadays to entertain their sheeple

The question we should ask is that, "is pastor biblical?". This thing we call pastor is it Christian or man made construct.
Do you know that the world pastor' only appeared once in the New Testament.
