Why are we intolerant?????
Permalink Closed


Of late i have seen the springing of churches (pentecostal) and most of them their msgs are talking ill of the old churches, islam and satanism. I might appear as an odd person but i for one i dont believe in satanism but i have the fear of god in me. I have the following questions-
-Is the church supposed to run on who is not for us is against us?

-If we are talking of faith and salvation which happens only in ones soul why   talk ill of others as if thy hinder it.

-Isnt satanism an excuse of trying to woo people to church?

-Am not very conversant with the moslem faith but the few i know seem so committed (to their faith) and have never heard them discusing other pipos churches as is the case with the protestants.

-Talk of speaking in tongues, can someone please help me this "raba chani chani chani casandra and whatever" is it seizure or a gift as some claim or what?

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!! 

That's when one is filled with the holy spirit and communicates with God in a foreign tongue!!!! I think!!!!

As for muslims, theirs is a strong faith in which competition among themselves isnt entertained. They are happy to build more mosques without qualms as to who shall  fill it up because they have greater and more important things to consider..........like suicide attacks on you know who joke!

But seriously christians have lost their plot if the situation has reached a stage where there's competition in the church as 'who is who' and who will tithe more this year or wagula ndege ndani kapena whose church that is.....etc... Showing off, Utter rubbish!!! We are forgetting that the purpose of the church is to pray to one God who only sees your heart and the humble one is, the happier our maker becomes. We think we are God himself sometimes.

Satanism is just one other form of religion and as any religion, it recruites people since it needs followers as well. Njira zawo nde kaya......

This is where i miss Abre now.

Events in the Middle East (e.g. Iraq's "sectarian violence") would suggest, at least for certain members of the faith, that you aren't entirely correct.

Bingiza, first of all be reminded that what is happening today was prophesised in Isaiah and also in Luke and am sure we cant escape it but to see them fullfilled.Why are xtians more stubborn today,why is money our centre stage?Secondly todays churches or pentecostals are built on manifestos ie they have a target and to achieve they have to devise plans and strategies of fighting the old ones.Its like political parties, a new one would need members from xisting big one hence mudslinging.

Dont follow the preacher,follow the word.

Actually the 'joke' in that particular paragraph is 'zocheza' or 'musazitingere hard' to sensitive muslims as i didn't mean to offend them by that statement of concentrating on suicide attacks. It wasnt meant to be funny but something light.hmm

Hope it's all good now?!

This theory of associating Muslims or Islam with suicide attacks is really perplexing. Unless if you regard all Muslims as Saints, I mean there are SOME Muslim lunatics out there who miss quotes the Holly Scriptures, and commit their so called justifiable acts Msilamu wapha Msilamu wamangidwa why does it have to be like this? If we are all that bad, then why is Islam the fastest growing Religion in the world?
