Pope Francis has slammed the ‘double life’ of some Catholics, insisting one is better off being an atheist than a hypocrite Christian.  Better to be atheist, than a fake Catholic - Pope Francis admonishes Catholics The tough-talking Pope has never shied away from making controversial statements, having succeeded Pope Benedict XVI as head of the Vatican in 2013. According to him, “it is a scandal to say one thing and do another”, referring to such an act as living “a double life” In his view all Catholics – whether a member or a priest – should practice what they preach, suggesting that it was better to be an atheist than a hypocritical Christian. During a sermon, Pope Francis quipped: “There are those who say, ‘I am very Catholic, I always go to mass, I belong to this and that association’….” “There are many Catholics who are like this and they cause scandal. How many times have we all heard people say ‘if that person is a Catholic, it is better to be an atheist’.”

Wetin person no go see for this our ogbonge life? A wonder-soap called 'Jesus soap' is currently making waves online.

A Tallahassee, Florida, pastor who was forced to flee naked after he was caught having an affair with a parishioner's wife says he will not step down from his position because God has already forgiven him and his wife is standing by him. Just days after the Rev. O. Jermaine Simmons Sr., pastor of the popularJacob Chapel Baptist Church was caught sleeping with his parishioner, he was recorded telling his very supportive church that it is better for the church if he remains committed to God's work in the pulpit. "What I want from God I've already received it and that's his forgiveness. What I am asking of our members is something I may or may not get and that is your prayers. And I'm asking for your forgiveness," Simmons said as his congregation said "amen" and gave him a standing ovation. "I was reminded that I can't run through this. And I got somebody who said, and I believe her, that she's gonna walk with me," Simmons

Christian child sponsorship organization Compassion International could be forced to leave India and the 147,000 children it helps there by March after the government blocked funding from outside the subcontinent. Compassion, which was founded in 1952 to lift children out of poverty "in Jesus' name" throughout the world, revealed late last year that it was hit by a new application of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, which halted its ability to send funds to more than 500 local child development projects in the Hindu-majority nation. "We are broken-hearted that the Indian government has put us in a position where we may be forced to close our doors in India. We are praying for a solution that allows us to continue working with our 580-plus churches to provide our holistic child development program to more than 147,000 children," Compassion President and CEO Santiago "Jimmy" Mellado said in an update provided to The Christian Post. "

There are now many Catholic commentators who are questioning the Church’s blindness about the danger Europe is facing.“Islam has every chance massively to strengthen its presence in Europe with the blessing of the Church…. the Church is not only leading Europe to an impasse, it is also shooting itself in the foot.” — Laurent Dandrieu, cultural editor of the French magazine Valeurs Actuelles.“It is clear that Muslims have an ultimate goal: conquering the world…Islam, through the sharia, their law…allows violence against the infidels, such as Christians….And what is the most important achievement? Rome.” — Cardinal Raymond Burke, interview, Il Giornale.“[T]hey are not refugees, this is an invasion, they come here with cries of ‘Allahu Akbar’, they want to take over.” — Laszlo Kiss Rigo, head of the Catholic Hungarian southern community.François Fillon published a book entitled,Vanquishing Islamic Totalitarianism, and he rose in the polls by vowing to control Islam and immigration: “We’

Christians Must Buy A Sword And Fight Against The Muslim Raiders Who Are Slaughtering Them’ Leader Of Major Christian Organization Tells Christians To Stand Up And Fight Back  Christians in Nigeria right now are suffering horrible persecution at the hands of Muslim raiders. Recently, the Chairman for the Christian Association of Nigeria declared that enough is enough and Christians need to take up arms to defend themselves against the Muslims: Christians facing extreme dangers and slaughter at the hands of Islamic radicals, such as the Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria, have been urged by a prominent bishop and Christian leader to “buy a sword and defend themselves.” “Christians should defend themselves and he who has no sword, should sell his coat and buy one to defend himself. We are all human beings, nobody should catch you like a snail and slaughter because you believe in Jesus Christ,” Bishop Diamond Emuobor, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said on Wednesd

The Omega Fire Ministries has responded to the attempted arrest of the church’s General Overseer, Apostle Johnson Suleman in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital, on Wednesday morning, January 25, 2017. The church’s media director, Dr. Sule Emmanuel and the coordinator of the church’s legal team, Samuel Amune, in a jointly signed statement, said Apostle Suleiman is safe and the attempted arrest that was ordered from Abuja was unsuccessful. The duo, who described President Muhammadu’s government as tyrannical, said Buhari ordered two truckloads of fully armed DSS officials to forcefully arrest a man of God, but the people and government of Ekiti state overwhelmingly resisted the arrest of Suleiman. The statement read in part: “Let it be on record that this assault occurred around 1am in the morning of Wednesday. Apostle Johnson Suleman is not facing any corruption charge neither is there any petition against him. The attempted arrest being masterminded by the presidency against

A woman recently shocked the whole church when she started vomiting money while prayers were going on, on New Year's Eve.  Prophet Ephias Jengeta During the crossover night which was dubbed 'destruction night', Prophet Ephias Jengeta of the Family Worship Tabernacle International ministries, Zimbabwe, had been praying for a woman, and the strange thing happened.

The woman after vomiting two dollars Here's what the eyewitness said: “It happened on December 31 when the prophet was burning papers. Everyone was asked to write his or her problems on a piece of paper. Candles were lit and when her paper was being burnt she began wriggling resulting in her vomiting and the money came out.” Confirming that the situa

The rate at which religion tends to find its way into virtually all that we do, has become very alarming. However, the issue is not with the various religions, but with those who believe and follow these diverse believes. It is no news that everyone is free to practice whichever religion suits him or her, but it is sad to note that that freedom has been abused and to a great extent has become man's captivity. People (especially Africans), tend to always throw away rationality in their dealings with religion and issues regarding belief. Some go as far as terming their irrational as "faith". For instance, one is sick but because his/her religious leader has spoken on exercising faith by not using medications, he/she follows the rule dogmatically and the end result is not palatable. The great German philosopher, Immanuel Kant noted that  "The autonomous man, insofar as he is autonomous, is not subject to the will of another. He may do what another tells him, but

If You Didn’t Stop Believing In Christ And Then Start Selling Your Churches To The Muslims You Wouldn’t Be So Afraid’ Major Catholic Cardinal Gives The Hard Truth To Europe  Cardinal Schönborn of Austria is one of the most respected voices in the Church today. In a recent interview, he said out his opinion on the major issues of European politics today such as the Muslim invasion of Europe, the apostasy of the European people, religious freedom, refugees, Brexit, and American President Elect Donald Trump: When asked the question “Will Islam conquer Europe?” The cardinal, once considered in the running as a possible Pope or “papabile”, said: “When we see that the mosques are well visited and the churches are badly visited, we can not blame Muslims for wanting to Islamise Europe. But we must reproach ourselves for not doing enough to maintain a Christian Europe.” … He said that as a Christian, he would like the Middle East to become Christian again, as it once was “

Pastor Robert jeffrey   Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas church in Texas has argued that President Barack Obama has "blood on his hands" for failing to address growing Christian persecution around the globe, which Jeffress argued comes down to Muslim anger at the historical Christian support for Jewish people. Jeffress appeared on "Varney & Co." on the Fox Business channel on Tuesday to comment on a recently released report from Italian sociologist and author Massimo Introvigne, which found that over 90,000 Christians were killed in 2016, while between 500 to 600 million face persecution for their faith. The megachurch pastor claimed that Obama and Sec. of State John Kerry "have blood on their hands for a lot of this," arguing that the administration's actions have ignored Christian persecution, and have fueled it in different parts of the world. He noted that according to Introvigne's study, based in part on statisti

This makes one to have a rethink ,is the church a place to seek solution to peoples problems. Today there is no difference between church and the World.Some church members are so gullible they do whatever their pastor tell..

Here are all the most controversial things Obinim and other pastors has done,but they still large have congregation...are these people blind.. Here are the top 7 things we believe can happen

  Communist North Korean dictator Kim Jung-Un reportedly replaced Christmas this year with an observance celebrating his late grandmother. According to a story from the New York Post published on Christmas Day, Kim declared that Christmas would be about his grandmother, Kim Jong-suk. "Jong-suk — who was born on Christmas Eve in 1919 — was an anti-Japanese guerrilla and Communist activist, wife of North Korea's first dictator, Kim Il Sung, and former leader Kim Jong Il's mother," reported the NY Post. "Many pay homage to the 'Sacred Mother of the Revolution,' who died under mysterious circumstances in 1949, by visiting her tomb."

  For the 60th time, the Rev. Billy Graham has been named as one of Gallup's 10 most admired men in the world, continuing his record number of appearances on the list.
