Please I would like to hear something else other than 'because you will burn in hell if you die a Muslim'. I just want to know what benefits I stand to gain in this life if I decided to abandon Islam and become a Christian. What makes Christianity more rewarding to me than Islam? Thanks. 1 Like |

Bélla3: No one is asking u to be a christian. U can do whatever u like jus dont force it on others,I didn't say anybody is asking me to be anything or that I want to force anything on others, what is with the defensive attitude? Besides how can you say no one is asking me to be a Christian? Isn't one of your duties as a Christian to bring unbelievers to the light? How will I become a Christian if I don't know what I stand to gain? |

E_monkey: Please I would like to hear something else other than 'because you will burn in hell if you die a Muslim'. I just want to know what benefits I stand to gain in this life if I decided to abandon Islam and become a Christian.I'm not in the mood to begin a debating session beteeen christianity and islam. Matthew 16:24. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. I you're not fully convinced on why you should become a christian, then remain where you are...christianity is mainly about service and sacrifice. Therefore, if you're going into it for benefits, I'm afraid to tell you that you'll be disappointed. I can't speak much on islam...maybe the islam brethren in the house can enlighten you more on the benefits of islam. |

Area_boy: I'm actually quite disappointed by the response of christians on this innocent request/question.Maybe you should read my post then...if I may ask, what kind of answers were you looking foward to hearing? |
Re: * by Bella3(f): 9:55pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
CrazyMan:bles u! The thread was just for argument purpose |
Re: * by Nobody: 9:58pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
CrazyMan:Please what does 'deny yourself' and 'take up your cross' mean? Does it connote hardship of some kind? Secondly, you are saying that I must be fully convinced to be a Christian before I become one, for me to be fully convinced, I have to understand what improvements the religion will make in my life, how it will help me in ways Islam failed me. Thirdly, you say that if I am going in for benefits then I would be disappointed. I take it you mean that there are absolutely no earthly benefits to my becoming a Christian. . . . . . I see. Thank you for your input. |

Re: * by CrazyMan(m): 11:43pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
E_monkey:Not necessarily hardship...denying yourself means to forsake the things of the world. I don't need to begin to explain the things of the world here, cos I believe you know them. E_monkey: Secondly, you are saying that I must be fully convinced to be a Christian before I become one, for me to be fully convinced, I have to understand what improvements the religion will make in my life, how it will help me in ways Islam failed me.I would recommend that you read your scriptures...like I stated earlier, I'm not in the mood for a debating session about islam. If you must come to christianity, come because you feel the urge to try something new. And not because you feel its better than islam. E_monkey:That's not true...I don't believe that poverty can be likened to christianity because Jesus wasn't poor. He had a personal treasurer (Judas). Even during his death, his garment was so expensive that his killers had to gamble for it. So if your master wasn't poor, then you have no reason to suffer. |

Re: * by Nobody: 8:49am On Sep 09, 2012 |
CrazyMan:What things? Money? Sëx? Position? CrazyMan:I really wish you'd shed the paranoia. I don't know specifically what things of the world you are talking about, do you mean that I shouldn't pursue anything worldly at all? CrazyMan:The truth is that I am not here to debate anything either. I just ask questions after reading your comments to understand you better. @bold, I don't think something like religion should be undertaken for such a simple reason. I mean its the worship of God we are talking about here. CrazyMan:Ok, so wealth shouldn't be regarded as a thing of the world then. Thank you Crazyman, for your replies. |

@OP Sorry to disappoint you but you aren't going to get any answer from these people.the christians are already pissing in their pants.you can feel them shaking while they type.this is going to go on for many pages and you'd end up with no answer from them.you're going to have a similar thread to mine here: I "LagosShia" Will Embrace Christianity On Two Little Conditions!" https://www.nairaland.com/847520/lagosshia-embrace-christianity-two-little |
Re: * by CrazyMan(m): 9:24am On Sep 09, 2012 |
E_monkey:Galatians 5:19-21. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. That's what christ wants you to deny, if you choose to follow him. You should know that christianity isn't slavery as most people think...you can aspire for top positions, become a billionaire, ride flashy cars, live in exotic houses etc... The reason why people see christianity as punishment is because they lack proper understanding of the scriptures, and they also have evil intentions towards life. If I may ask, is it difficult to acquire a B.sc, get a good job, hustle for genuine contracts, and live comfortable when your plans succeed? When you begin reaping the fruit of your labour, does your exotic and luxury lifestyle sound like sin to you? What christ is simply telling us is that though we're in the world, we shouldn't be like the world. Work hard and make genuine money, then spend it responsibly...that's all. E_monkey:I'm not much grounded in islam so it would be useless trying to compare it with christianity...I might end up confusing us both. E_monkey: Ok, so wealth shouldn't be regarded as a thing of the world then.I never said that...Wealth becomes a thing of the world when you acquire it illegally. E_monkey:You're welcomed. |

@LagosShia, thanks for the link, will take a look at it. CrazyMan: I understand better now. However, these are things that Muslims are supposed to avoid and so I would basically be avoiding the same things in that respect to what you mentioned, if I was a Christian. Cheers. . |

E_monkey: I understand better now. However, these are things that Muslims are supposed to avoid and so I would basically be avoiding the same things in that respect to what you mentioned, if I was a Christian.You now see that christianity isn't as complicated as it seems...because you have the bible to guide every mile of the way. The bolded word...are you already planing to give up your pursuit of christianity? Thought you said earlier that you want to become a christian? |
