He was truly a dedicated man of God.Many of his sermons got me through some very difficult times.Bishop Patterson take your rest now and wait for the trumpet to sound for you will soon see Jesus' face the kingdom of heaven.
man I was at the homegoing service and waiting in the line was crazy...but the service was well worth the wait....I Miss you Bishop and I love you...see you soon
He was truly anointed and appointed by God to preach and teach the good news of the glorious Gospel of JESUS the Christ. I will for ever be enlightened by his ministry.
I had a routine that each Sunday after Church service I would listen to message by Bishop GE Patterson on TBN. His messages were powerful and I miss one of my fathers in the faith. ZAMBIA.
Praise God, when I want to hear a good word of God, I come to YT and listen to Pastor. Lord I thank you for allow this man to be used by you. Let your word continue to go forth. Amen
It is oK to "give honor to whom honor is due". When you die I hope you have those who will honor you too. The memory of the just is blessed. Prov. 10:7
The selection playing is called "I'm Determined" by Dorinda Clark and the E G Mason Memorial Choir. Look up Dorinda Clark on YOU TUBE and see and hear more!
I was brought up listen too GE Patterson on radio in the 70s when he would say on da radio Gilbert earl patterson General post office box 1 thats 1. seems like yesterday...
I am sitting here listening to Dorinda Clark singing and missing One Of The Most Anointed Leaders in COGIC History. I pray that we as saints has continued to grow to be better. After Bishop died, my heart dropped deeper because I had just lost the Man I called my Natural Father, the man who raised me (my grandfather: Reverend Joseph Simmons) then My Spiritual Father Bishop G.E. Bishop, it was too much for one year. But we must remember that they worked, preached, lived a holy life, so that we as young people would follow in their footsteps and Follow God Call on Our Lives as they did for themselves. Be Encouraged Saints!
because in the christian religion the bishop is the second highest ranking and therefore the apostles and the bishops are treated like royalty that is why they dress like the priest in the Catholic Church. but they only dress like that on special and scared occasions and to go to a funeral of a bishop whoever is on that ranking they to as well have to dress up. I hope that answers your question have a bless day
Also, Any Changes Made Were Done By The Board Which Bishop Resided On. They Can Move A Pastor Or Bishop Out Of Their Position If Any Fault Has Been Found And Replace Them. Hope This Helps Answer Ur Question Somewhat.
@mlowerysmelodies The Church of God is slightly older, founded by A. J. Tomlinson and predominately white. The COGIC was established/developed between 1897 and 1907 by C.H. Mason and C.P. Jones and is predominately black.
1. Bless u. Scripture doesnt give a funeral service scketch. Eulogy means "praise." It is used to give praise to God for what he has done in & through that person's life.It is to celebrate the gift of life that has now come to an end(on earth). U wont find it in the new testement because they didn't have churches. They " broke bread from house to house." 2. The robes or "Vestments" R priestly garments. They are used during ceremonial situations as the priest did in O/T.
@SINGUNTO Anglican bishops vest the same way. anglicans are protestants. tje more common vesyment is a simole whute alb, though. i guess the surplice and cassocks make the wearers feel more religious...
We are not commanded to do it this way but it is an offical & spiritual way to celebrate Gods child. Again, u wont see it in the Bible but israil did have their own form of "funeralizing" their dead. Bless U.
Even out of respect I was thinking perhaps those were not the best words to describe him. Maybe they should have rephrased it. God and God alone is the "Most High." I'm not being rude, it's just what comes to mind when you read the remarks. :)
