When Christianity Becomes A Religion by Encoredme(m): 9:33am On Sep 06, 2012
Christianity becomes a religion when
We are told pay tithes and offerings inorder to make heaven,
We are told what to wear to church and what not to wear for God to approve us,
We think that not reading bibles for long will cause things to go wrong,
Our church leaders use church funds to build mega structures and not see to the welfare of members,
When we think that going to church everyday to serve God will solve all our problems,
When we are told by our pastors that only prayer can save Nigeria,instead of telling us the truth,
And finally,amongst many others,when we get judgemental with non believers instead of showing genuine love as God does.

Sorry, but these points you put forward are not true. Christianity became a religion when followers were asked to worship and praise a deity in order to gain eternal life that they already possess.
Re: When Christianity Becomes A Religion by chinedumo(m): 5:14pm On Sep 06, 2012
already posses eternal life? how
Re: When Christianity Becomes A Religion by Jenwitemi(m): 7:55pm On Sep 06, 2012
From eternal life we came and to eternal life we return. There is nothing that can change that. We are merely on a stage acting out plays here, buddy.

Prove it- as our 'scienticians' would say.

Christians do not already have eternal life before meeting Jesus.Besides we do not need to worship God before we receive eternal life,all we need to do is believe that Jesus Christ came to restore God's kingdom to us.

What is to prove and who is doing the proofing?
Re: When Christianity Becomes A Religion by Jenwitemi(m): 1:56am On Sep 07, 2012
Can't be proven while one is alive, lady. But if you are insistent on proof of this then die and you will see proof. All you have to do is just die.

So what then seperates or makes your belief more credible than that of the christian?
Re: When Christianity Becomes A Religion by Jenwitemi(m): 6:19pm On Sep 07, 2012
Because it makes more sense to me. That's why.

Lol, okay oh, no wahala. Indeed a person's beliefs are of no consequence to anyone but himself/herself.
Re: When Christianity Becomes A Religion by Jenwitemi(m): 6:29pm On Sep 07, 2012
If only Christians and Muslims can learn from that. This world would be a much better place to live in. The city of Jos would definitely benefit.

As Christians we r supposed to change the world and make it better,starting from our neighborhoods.the Boko Haram problem for example should be looked into by the church and a solution should be put into action to deal with it. The goverment can only do so much.
Re: When Christianity Becomes A Religion by Jenwitemi(m): 11:44pm On Sep 07, 2012
How can you change the world when you haven't even changed yourselves? Sick unsane people who are trying to cure a sick unsane world. How would that work? You wanna change the world, you gotta change yourselves first. You cure yourselves first. You have not even begin to do that. You think by carrying bible all about gives you the qualification to change the world? It doesn't. Christians have been in this world for about 2 millenia and the world is still sinking in chaos. Have you ever asked yourself why?

I would like to address some false pronouncments that u made.
First,christians are not sick people curing sick people.we r alive and well,ready to be used by God to do great things in the world.
Secondly,the world is still in chaos because christians have been church focused,unfortunately.but a church shift ia occuring that will change the way xtian see things.
We are already changed people.our minds renewed,so u cant say we are not changed,from changing ourselves,we will change the world.

yes its easy. you see. first jesus goes around brainwashing people and gaining disciples and fanatics among the poor. they then revolt against ROme and pulll it down, thereby ending one of the best and most systematic Empire iin the history of mankind. these fellows then go to europe, destroy the traditional tribal structure and stable system there and then convert the entire populace into a bunch of half-bred fanatics. who go around ravagaing and destroying half the continent. thencomes all the disease and plague, etc., due to heavy intermixing, etc., which claims many lives. then all the inquisition, witch burnings andmass killings spate all over europe commanded by pope himself. then protestants come into the picture and another 200-300 years of internal warfare between catholis and hugeonots that destabilizes europe. meanwhile dwn south in arabia, a desert man called muhammad travels north, ets influenced and brainwashed by judaism and christianity , returns back to Arabia, kills half his own tribe-members, wages war on other tribes, destroys all the system and goes on killing, r.aping m etc which is continued by his followers over half of the Asian continent and even reaches Africa. you know th rest.
then the crusades are declared between father (christianity)and son (islam). both ravage and massacre many nations with death and destruction at its peak, all in the name of religion.
meanwhile in europe, commanded by pope himself and oter christians, missionaries and slave traders sail to Africa nd enslave billions ofhuman and ship them off to the americas. colonization, ill treatment, genocide, cultural and rligiou breakdown and disruption of societies, stealing of resources, et.c, follow.

meanwhile another group of fanatics lands in north america (ab bunch of protestants fleeing europe due to religious persecution bycatholics. they spread disease to the Native tribes, steal their lands, convert, assimilate and nearly wip them out all, kill their bison herds, etc.


similar story in SOuth america, though much worse. most of the population is raveaged by disease. spanish asisimilate and destroy many tribes especially the Tainos and CAribs. slaves are imported into the country. fall of the stable and prosperous Inca and Aztec Empires. all their treasure looted, etc. meanwhile another group set sail to south east asia and sout h asia and coolonize it. are unsucessful in some areas though, particularly Jpan, where all christian missionaries are mass-executed and exxpelled from the country.

now meanwhile the son (islam, is ravaging half the world, destroys the stable Persian Empire and other Indian empires , etc. , their treasures looted and so on and so forth)and we suffer to this date with all the terroist activities, al qaeda, boko haram, etc. .

there is more. this is just a summary of a summary.
