@GbengaWemimo I hope everyone reading this will also search out the truth of the word by themselves in the scripture to know if this is true or not. those who are not of d spirit cannot understand what the spirit is saying but only use human understanding to interpret the things of the spirit.

[Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo @GbengaWemimo]

The things religion introduced that were clearly NOT in the BIble

1. The pastor being the Spiritual covering of members of a church.
This is a manipulative idea introduced by pastors and spiritual leaders to control the decisions and real-life choices of members rather than train members to walk with the Holy Spirit and make the choices they ought to make for their own lives, with a full conviction that God is with them or with a desire to bear the consequences if things go wrong.

2. Pastor being the fertile ground where members must sow seeds in order to prosper in life and business.

This teaching was concocted in order to manipulate members to direct a percentage of their resources to the pastor, whom they consider their spiritual source, in order for them to get the blessings of God in their individual lives and businesses.

Many believers have sold properties, given up life savings, cars, land and so on in order to be blessed by God. This then seems more like a gambling situation than having true faith in God and working in order to prosper.

3. Before you can get married, you must bring your suitor to pastor for Spiritual clearance and approval.

Pastors claim that they know their members individually and therefore can attest to their individual character and marriageability. Therefore, if a member asks you out, you must come and report the member to the pastor for guidance.
Again, this practise is not in the Bible at all.
Pastors came up with it in order to play "God" and maintain control over their members so that the tithes, seed and offering from such a member stays within the fold after the marriage and more importantly, to become familiar with the person the individual want to get married to and convince such a member not to turn their faithful parishioner (who is with the person) against them and their interest after the wedding.

4. You CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION.
This is a classic bait-and-switch situation in which the pastor preaches salvation to the unbeliever and guarantees the unbeliever eternal salvation through their belief in Christ Jesus. Once the person has accepted Jesus Christ as lord and Saviour and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the tactics change to "If you do anything wrong, you will lose your salvation; therefore you must confess your sins and rededicate your life constantly in order to remain heaven worthy."
More like after subscribing to Apple Music, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Gmail and other services, you discover that you have to pay monthly to maintain the subscription so that the companies keep making money off you rather than let you buy your phone and keep all its features after the purchase.
It is a lie you should never fall for.

For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Once you give your life to Jesus, you have eternal life through your faith in Christ Jesus and this is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit.

John3:16, John 6:47, 1 John 5:11-12

Eternal life is a gift given by grace through faith, it is not earned by work.

5. People do wrong things because they have not been well taught about SIN.

Nobody needs to be taught about sin. Man by nature is a sinful being. David said In Iniquity was i shaped and sin did my mother conceive me.

The reality of human life is absolutely and without exception sinful. Even if the individual never did anything wrong in his or her life, the seed of sin was in him and therefore he or she was a sinner.

That individual was given a reprieve through the finished works of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross so that he or she can believe in Jesus Christ and become the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus.
Once an individual gives his or her life to Jesus, he or she receives the gift of righteousness and becomes a born-again Christian

You don't need to teach him sin anymore; you need to teach him righteousness and how to live a righteous life and make right decisions as led by the Holy Spirit.

6. If you don't pay your tithe to the church you are a robber and you will not make heaven

This is a lie and there is no backing for it in the BIBLE anywhere.

God loves a cheerful giver and we are all encouraged to give willingly as led by the Holy Spirit to the work of the gospel and its advancement all over the world.

It is also true that we must not be selfish and should give that there may be meat in the house of God for the ministers and the needy; however, we give out of our abundance and from a blessed position and not out of compulsion or fear of a curse or lack.

7. In times of trial, you can stand on your tithe and pray.

This is not true. The believer has his or her being in Christ and not in any other place. For in him we live and move and have our being Acts 17:28.

Whatever we have given to the work of God or to fellow believers or the work of ministry is not a blackmail tool with which we can blackmail God to do what we want for us.

God has blessed us long before we even became believers. For while we were yet sinners Christ Jesus died for us. Romans 5: 6-8

8. If you don't live a Holy LIFE, you will not make heaven.

This is a lie.
The Pharisees and Sadducees and keepers of the law lived a HOLY LIFE according to the law, and none of them got saved or gained eternal life by it. Nicodemus was a teacher of the law, a Pharisee, and he didn't even know how to be saved. In John 3, Jesus had a long conversation with him and taught him and all of us what it means to be saved.

Verily, verily I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

Being born again is a guarantee of eternal life.

In order to walk in victory on the earth as a believer, you must be led by the Holy Spirit, and you must walk in authority and power. You cannot do this by walking in the flesh or living in a carnal reality. You must walk in the Spirit

Galatians 5:16 "So I say, walk in the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh"

You don't need to walk in self-righteousness or according to the law to live a Holy Life.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" Romans 8:14

9. You must submit to the Authority of your Pastor in order to prosper

Your pastor has the authority of his office, within the church he leads, of which you are a member and he has the authority of the believer which Jesus gave to everyone who are saved

You have the authority of the believer, which Christ gave unto you over all things.

As long as you are a member of that church, in the things pertaining to the church and the organisation of service and programmes and services, the pastor has authority over you.

This is just so there is order in the church.

Outside of that, the pastor has no authority over you, your life or your decisions.

The pastor is not the Holy Spirit, and he is not your dream interpreter or your life guide or spiritual eyes.

He can offer training in righteousness based on his experience, divine relationships and words of counsel when you need it, but he is not "God" to you, and he cannot determine the course of your life and destiny by cursing you or steering you out of his own selfish ambition to do things that are contrary to the instructions of God for your life.

You have every right to leave his church and join another if you feel you are being manipulated by this man or woman.

10) You must be at your best behaviour before you can eat the communion

Again, how does anyone know he or she is at his best behaviour at any point in time without resorting to self-righteousness and glorifying in the flesh?

It is Christ who justifies.

Romans 8: 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

When there is a communion to be had, you do not eat it according to the flesh by according to the Spirit. It is a spiritual meal meant to quicken the Holy Spirit in you and spur you on unto good works.
Not eating it because you have done something wrong in the flesh keeps your heart hardened and exposes you to spiritual weakness as you starve your spirit of the vitality of its union with Christ.

If you are of God, you will eat the communion without guilt and with a sense of total surrender to the Holy Spirit who guides you and helps you become more like Christ daily.

[James Kowalski @JamesKowalski88]

You are repeating a 20-year-old internet meme because you don't know a single word of biblical Hebrew. You say "kids," but the raw text uses the words ne’arim qetannim.
​In the Old Testament, na’ar does NOT mean toddlers; it means young men of military, marriageable, or legal age. Joseph was called a na'ar at 17 (Gen 37:2), Solomon called himself one when he became king at 20 (1 Kings 3:7), and armed soldiers are called ne'arim (1 Kings 20:15).

​This wasn't a group of toddlers teasing an old man; it was a hostile gang of at least 42 aggressive young adult men swarming a lone prophet on a remote road. It was an imminent threat of assault and a targeted gang ambush. God neutralized a violent mob to protect His prophet.

It's a lie, Jesus told his disciples who could not cast out a demon that " this kind comes not out but by prayer and fasting".. meaning, there are times you need to fast to get things from God no matter the relationship. Fasting means ur spirit drawing closer to God to receive...

[JUST KINGS @JustKingss]

Fasting for God to listen to your request is abnormal Christian doctrine.

A child who has a good relationship with his father doesn’t need to starve to get his father’s attention.

Get your relationship strengthened first and you will have a premium access to communicate to your father anytime you want and he will listen to you.

Stop starving yourself in the name of fasting and prayers.

Plan for your old age from your 30ties, so that you do not have to depend on your wife or children for survival. Don’t put yourself in a position a woman believes she can show you shege.

Ensure that you can afford the basics in old age such as a healthcare, chef, domestic staff, driver etc
