Hi Bosun,
this incessant criticisms is common in the pentecostal churches. The Okotie-TB Joshua matter really exposed christianity to public ridicule. What are they fighting for? Dollars? Crowd? Land? Until we all get to heave before we know the motive behind the outburst.

Hello Bosun,
Having read the stories on the home page, I wonder if Christianity is not a personal relationship. Must we criticize? I have not heard Mr. Hinn or Mr. TD Jakes abusing each other. It is rather unfortunate that two pentecostals in your country are on each others neck. This is a great e-magazine.

Helo Bosun,
Just read the story on this site. I think Okotie did it in love. My friend referred me to this site. Thank God for this site I would have missed all the controversy.

Hi Bosun,
On premarital sex, the Anglican church has not made any categorical statement on that because we all know we are in Africa where so many women get married and wait for years before they conceive. The problem is not with women alone. So many men have low sperm count. But Christian theology which forbids premarital sex has stopped us from knowing the abilities of individuals. I think we need to discuss this issue properly without falling into sin. Pastors, over to you.

Hello Bosun,
What the Bible says is getting married in the Lord. I think once a man decides in himself that he is getting married to a lady and he makes his intentions known to the lady's parents and get their approval, I don't think sex at that level is unclean. Except when the man has other intentions like keeping some other relationships, hopping from one bed to another, that the bed is defiled.

Hi Bosun,
you had really brought up a land where many 'angels' dread to walk! Now, the issue is - should sex be allowed before marriage? As an xtian, I dont believe we should bring sentiments and theory into the things of God. Why will you think that after getting married, the sister will not conceive? Remember old things have passed away, all things have become new!

Hell Bosun,
The challenge you are facing has come as result of the fact that most people have done away with the word of God. To advise sex before marriage will also mean doing away with the word of God. But God forbid. the word of God remains the standard for Christians so you haver to prayerfully look for a wife and you will find one through the help of God. I mjust let you know that today, amny marriages are having problem because the husband and wife were invovlved in premarital sex. One of the dangers of premarital sex is the tendency to compare your partner with an ex boy/girl friend. As a matter opf fact, God did not intent that we have sexual experience before marriage. Its a matter of learning on the job.

Hello Bosun,
Premarital is good if you can face the wrath. America is destroyed today because we overlook some basic morality. So many homes here are under the weight of HIV and other diseases because of premarital sex. We need to be careful or we destroy the human race.

Hi Anthony,
I agree with Anthony. This trend is common with the new generation churches where male pastors even do jerry curls, come to church in clothes that could feed so many church members for days and their garage is like auto mart. I returned to my Anglican church after three years in a pentecostal church. Pastors of pentecostal churches criticise themselves, bring down other pastors ministries. That does not happen in our Anglican church. However, I must confess that not all pentecostal pastors are like that. I have never heard Bishop Oyedepo or Baba Adeboye criticise others.
Thanks.
