Things I Saw Makes Me Question My Faith And Reality Itself by Haynnie: 12:22pm On Nov 05, 2023
Today being sunday, I made up my mind to honour an invite to another church. It has been a nice service so far but then again i started feeling uncomfortable with the whole service since i'm not accustomed to their religous doctrines. Let me not bore you with my church experience. The reason for this thread is how i feel towards reality in conjunction with my faith and how it shaped a new reasoning for me.
Please engage this thread as i start. shortly.

Where i sat observing what was going on my mind drifted away from reality as the thought of being a christain has any material/physical benefit to go with. Especially for the poo christains trying to find their way to the top through the 'right/legal' path. If we are being honest with ourselves we all kinda think we are under a system that controls both our sense of view and how we live. Like there's a force behind limiting our mental capabilities to think outside the box or break from the orthodox reality we are locked in.
Mind you, i'm not in any form to offend, discourage you as these are just what i think and can be rhetoric since there's no right answer to it. It's just a thought!

1. Find their way to the top of what, the religious pyramid? undecided

2. What you described there is what religion is all about,men --- religious leaders --- using lies to manipulate and limit your general ability to reason outside of the dogmatic box which they fashion for you. undecided

3. Yet another tool of manipulation to keep the gullible from revolting against the programing and breaking free from the system. undecided

I'll Keep on asking, what are the material benefit for being a contented christain devoted to the services of God when an unbeliever/sinner is busy doing any means to secure the things (Wealth, power, fame, materialistic value etc.) of this world? Aside the popular saying, "Your reward is in heaven" that serve as a comping mechanism for believers do you really think there's really hope for poor christains making it through without soiling their pride to the doing of this world?

Let's see from a perspective of a church where the poor attends a church alongside with the rich, both praying for protection, grace and also the prayer to prosper in riches and in glory. First, the mindset of most poor christains are, praying to God for these things to come into their life as they believe God's supplication is sufficient to meet their needs while they put little or no effort to their labour. The thinking mechanism is triggered by their "beliefs" resting assured that things will fall in place as they continue praying. But you see the rich praying that same prayer isn't because they tied their beliefs to it either happening but they put their thinking, skill and wisdom into whatever thing that brings forth prosperity to their table. Their only prayer is long life, protection and sound health to enjoyed all they have amassed in wealth for them and their family to enjoy in a long run. If only theere was a source where lives can be bought I'm sure they would never fit themselves into any religious group since they have the source to long life.

Another aspect I took sightings from is at the pastors who are the leaders ordained to direct christains according to the path of Christ. What can we see as of today's church leaders? Are they leading by example or they are carried away by the materialism of this world? Nowadays is hard to see a Bible believing church preaching about end time. Is always about having financial freedom, financial blessings, building heavens kingdom to unlock financial breakthrough, sowing and reaping and all that's to it.
They are even making more emphasis to paying of 'tithe' is more like every Sunday it is preached even when the sermon is unrelated to it. Are these part of the plan or today's world is evolving to another order of living?

The times we go to church and there's either a special service/ programme hosted that has to do with inviting other guest pastors to come preach and it gets to the point of where they start calling for a seed to be sowed into the ministry of God and it starts with a fixed price till it gets to the lowest denomination. Don't you sometimes ask yourself the prayers/anointing that are specially made for those who sowed the highest amount of money isn't it same prayers that are being said for those that sowed from the little they have? Why segregate them?

The sense of poor christains giving to the bank of the church while they are hungry, pastor lay their hands on their head to tell them they will be blessed and they claim 'amen' still their lives continue as they were. Why are they still attending church instead of finding their way to prosper or woke to the fact that their pennies are what is enriching the church while they cope with religious beliefs?

MY DEAR BROTHER I CAN FEEL YOUR PAIN BUT LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH THOSE CHURCHES ARE NOT DOING THE RIGHT THINGS. YOU ARE SEEING THE ERROR BECAUSE GOD HAS OPENED YOUR EYES, MANY CHURCH GOERS DON'T SEE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING BECAUSE THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE LEADERS NOT GOD. ALL OUR CHURCHES DO THESE DAYS IS TO PSYCHE PEOPLE AND THE GULLIBLE ONES FALL. I WILL BEG YOU TO TAKE THE PAINS TO STUDY THE BIBLE ON YOUR OWN ASKING GOD FOR WISDOM TO SEE THE HIDDEN TRUTH IN HIS WORD
APART FROM THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT GOD IS MORE INTERESTED IN OUR SOULS THAN GIVING US MATERIAL THINGS. THE BIBLE SAID HAVING FOOD AND CLOTHE LET US BE CONTENT
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVING IS TO LIVE OUR LIVES IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE CAN INHERIT GODS KINGDOM ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT IS A COMPLETE WASTE AND REGRET WILL FOLLOW AFTER THE RESURRECTION. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE TRUTH IN THE BIBLE GO AND WORSHIP WITH GKS, GKM, JW
AND OTHER RELATIVELY UNKNOWN CHURCHES THAT ARE TRULY PREACHING THE TRUTH FROM THE BIBLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DON'T BELONG TO ANY OF THESE CONGREGATIONS, BUT AS AN INQUISITIVE MIND, I LISTEN TO EVERYBODY THAT COMES TO PREACH TO ME AND ASK QUESTIONS. I ATTEND A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH FOR NOW BUT I CAN TELL YOU ALL ARE RUBBISH
PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SO MANY CHILDREN OF GOD IN THIS PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES WHO ARE STRIVING TO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS BUT ON A WRONG PLATFORM,; GOD IS CALLING THEM TO COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM AND SEPARATE.

Churcianism aka Christianity, is a pyramid scheme. Those at the top of the pyramid benefit the most materially whereas those at the bottom pay for the lavish living of those at the top — no cult or sect excluded. undecided

This is why i said:

You need to know the real Christians it's not about going to church!

But it's obvious you don't care to know us however i will drop the message.

The first century apostles of Christ asked the same question:

“Look! We have left all things and followed you; what, then, will there be for us?” Matthew 19:27

Jesus answered:

“Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—
houses,
brothers,
sisters,
mothers,
children, and
fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life." Mark 10:29-30


So Jesus never promised one dedicated to Jehovah as his disciple that riches will be our gain rather we will have:
Houses ~ anywhere we travel to as one of Jehovah's Witnesses is home for us as long as members of our organization could be found there. Luke 22:11
Brothers, Sisters ~ all dedicated members of Jehovah's organization are like siblings. Matthew 23:8
Mothers ~ motherly care are there among God's people. John 19:26-27
Children ~ as an elderly dedicated worshiper of Jehovah younger members are our children. 1John 2:1; 5:21
Fields ~ there are crafts we can engage in when we meet each other we learn different trades and crafts to support ourselves. Act 18:3
Persecutions ~ faithless people will not like us so just like our Master, Lord and King we will be persecuted. Matthew 10:24-25


These are the things we will surely experience before we gain everlasting life.

God never promised His worshipers material possessions that's why there are poor ones among God's people! Luke 9:58

It's Satan who is promising his own worshipers the whole world! Luke 4:5-7 smiley

Two many different questions, bible says, the rich man weath maketh a way for him, and bible also says,he that is without works, let him not eat,if you said you believe in God,man, you must work, God emphasically, want the men should work, nothing like waiting for God's time, hence, rich men, don't come to church to pray for riches, rather, protection of God,a lazy man,is poor due to their mindset, waiting for God, to throw Manna from heaven, which never happened,so you don't have to blame any person the way they make their money,no matter how,man,must soild their hands make money, however small, so therefore to work,is a blanket cover, under which, criminals, church pastors hide to extort money from people, hence, the works of every body await them, before God,as he has come to reward everyone according to their work,

What is your faith?
(i.e. what are the bible backing strong spiritual convictions you have/had)

Haynnie:
I'll Keep on asking, what are the material benefit for being a contented christain
Matthew 16:26
And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Is anything worth more than your soul?


This is a very easy question with a very simple and straightforward answer. The benefits are optical illusion at expense of losing the soul.

You are not called to be christian, as much as you are not called to be nigger. To suffer as a christian or suffer as a nigger, does not mean one is a christian or a nigger

Mark 12:41- 44
41Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple
and watched as the crowds dropped in their money.
Many rich people put in large amounts.
42Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins.
43Jesus called his disciples to him and said,
“I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions.
44For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.”


The three most important dates in life are:
1. The day you are born (i.e. your birth)
2. The day you find out why (i.e. your purpose or for what reason(s))
3. The day you die (i.e. your death)

Discover what #2 is all about (i.e. Genesis 1:26a) because it will bring everything into perspective and clear your air of despondence

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.

They believe financial blessings would miraculously come to when they give offering, pay tithes, pay financial vows, dedicate their children to service of their pastors, make family and marriage counselors of their pastors, and have their pastors as business bless their businesses. All thanks to the many lies fed to them by their pastors. lipsrsealed

The unfortunate thing is that because of the influx of privately sponsored individuals who are church founders, the emphasis has been on what is most important to them- money!

Of course, God may give anyone who asks wisdom and guidance to make wealth but God may also choose not. The truth of life is that time and chance happen to all irrespective of whether one is a Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Animist, Agnostic: this is how the world has been designed.

The parent of Jesus Joseph and Mary were poor people like the average person in Israel at that time. How much more we Christians. Let no one fool Christians that the benefit of Christianity is material wealth.

This is why Jesus would say that His kingdom is not of this world... give to Ceaser what belong to Ceaser. No one can serve God and mamon (money)

but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.


John 6:27
But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food.
Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you.
For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.”


The only place where financial benefit comes before work, is in, a dictionary, maybe allegedly at the pulpit or altar where pastor(s) lay hands on people too

A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart. Never stand begging for that which, yourself, you have the power to earn. Faith (i.e. beliefs) without works, is dead

God's financial principles are not a respecter of person. Activate them, and become the next Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Jack Ma, Bill Gates, Mike Lazaridis, Michael Dell, Tope Awotona et cetera, if that's an aspiration

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.
