Say what you will, but if you were born in Igbo land, you would most likely be defending Christianity today!

1. The Quran 29:46

'Dispute not with the People of the Book (Christians and Jews) save in the fairer manner, except for those of them that do wrong; and say, 'We believe in what has been sent down to us, and what has been sent down to you; our God and your God is One, and to Him we have surrendered.'

2. The Jewish Torah Isaiah 9:6

'For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace'.

3. The Christian New Testament John 14:6

'Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'.

Remember Judaism came before Christianity. The prophets predicted about a saviour (Jesus means saviour) King that will save the world from sin that is to come.
Jesus was rejected by the Jews because he did not come from a major tribe or born in riches. But the Torah had predicted this.
Secondly Islam VALIDATES Christianity and Judaism. It calls them 'People of the Book' and clearly states that they have the true revelation and do not require a new one.
The true validity test of a man is not what he says about himself. Its what others say about him. The 3 major religions in the world beside Buddhism are Christianity, Judaism and Islam. All 3 validate Christianity in their scriptures in SEVERAL VERSES AND CHAPTERS not only the ones I quoted above.

Now if you know the principle of the research methodology, you don't need anyone to tell you CHRISTIANITY IS THE WAY.

Hmmm...trying to change the words of the Quran to suit you just like you guys to change yours...Quran 29:46 says

"And argue not with the people of the scripture (jews and christians), unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner), inviting them to Islamic Monotheism (with his verses), except such of them as do wrong n say (to them) we believe in that which has been revealed to you; our God and your God is one (Allah) and to him we have submitted(as muslims) "

We believe in what was send down to the jew(Musa) and what was sent down to the xtains (jesus).
.we believe in all the prophet Allah has ever sent and we believe in their teachings...we however do not believe believe jesus is god or son of God...he was a messenger of Allah.

Lets be honest, we are all born into a culture , religion and tradition. We are a product of these factors plus the additional factor of parental upbringing.

Considering that there are over 50 world religions including the main ones , i.e Islam and Christianity each with a plethora of denominations or sects , especially in Christianity with over 40,000 sects and still growing, how can one be 100% confident that his/her religion and sect is the right one ??

Mr A is a Muslim and can swear with his life that Islam is the one and true religion and without this no one can be saved, Mr B is a Christian who believes that anyone who does not believe in Jesus is forever lost. But they were born into these religions and were tutored from kindergarten that they ONLY worship the true GOD.

Furthermore at a high level , the Sunnis believe the Shiites are hell bound and vice versa, Deeperlife believe they have the right doctrines but so do Christ embassy and redeemed.

We have so many doctrines, teachings, beliefs etc , but HOW DOES MAN FILTER THROUGH ALL THIS CONFUSION TO KNOW WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY ?

Knowing that 40% of the worlds population will never agree with Islam or Christianity or may not even have heard about them, how can we be so sure that we are right and they are wrong and we are saved but they are damned. What is the premise for your conclusion ?

Please help me here.

A good number of examples but let me mention a few.

Quite a lot of muslims, dedicated muslims, brought up in muslim background have had encouter with Christ and became chriistians. Stood their ground in the face of severe persecution from family members and community because of their conviction.

You hardly see a dedicated christian joining islam.
Most christians who join islam do so based on marriage, politics or money but none will tell you he had a personal encouter with Muhammed.

What I'm saying is that its not culture that determines true religion. Christianity has broken into various cultures and backgroud.

A question was asked...no one is answering....how can God give birth to a son...dat is also God...who den died to wash away your sin ....
confusingly right? Am sure many of you cannot answer that.
Your God can die? At d same time...your God can call 2 hez father in heaven while he was on d cross to "forgive those who nailed him"
the same cross where your God was humiliated. ...nailed and died is wat u all worship and hang arnd on ur necks.....hahaha...Your God was pushed...humiliated and killed....

There's no way to know for sure and a lot of religious people will not want to explore the origin of their faith cos it will shake the very fabric of the belief system that they hold dear.

I have seen many lambs. I've also seen bright lights. How did you know that the lamb was Jesus? I'm asking because we may have seen the same lamb. Did the lamb talk to you in English or your native language?

Afam4eva:

You're been biased in your aassessment. You know for sure that the muslims that have become Christians were dedicated but the Christians who have gone to the other side are not. I want to know how you arrived at this conclusion.

Secondly, you have more Muslims becoming Christians than vice-versa for the same reason why you have more Catholics leaving for pentecostal churches than vice-versa or deeper life members going to Christ Embassy than vice-versa. The reason is simple is not because where they're trooping to is better but simply because they have some sort of freedom in their new chosen religion or denomination.

I notice that many Africans are big into Christianity and Islam but have our prayers worked. I always here people say "Jesus will take the wheel" or "God will save us". But how long have we been praying? Has it been working? We have all these churches and mosques and we have the most problems, poverty, bad education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Instead of praying to god why don't we use ACTIONS because they speak louder than prayer.

Question EVERYTHING, what were the political implications of African receiving religion? Is it good for us? If we die and nothing happens to us then would we have wasted our lives praying for nothing? Do you want to live for this life or the afterlife?

Stop praying and start doing!! We need to go back to spirituality because it seems like religion is not working. Let's try something else.

Get this straight ...there are things that you can't explain

They are called mystery


God didn't give birth to a son ...he annoited virgin Mary and under his guidance she took in to Jesus which is his chosen son to deliver us. We are all sons of God and He has made us a bit above angels. We are created in his image and likeness

Now for death. Jesus died to prove that we human must die to attain eternal rest . He passed through the normal life processes such as hardship et all to prove that hardship doesn't mean that He hates us as our creator . Now know that Jesus ain't ordinary being he is supernatural but for him to choose this part meant that he is embodiment of humility unlike Muhammed who fought

Jesus died and was rose on the third day which means that there is a life after death ...now Jesus is God manifestation in human form. He is PR of God if you want it that way. You can't see God and we can use Jesus as a path or medium to approach him cos he understands us.

Now as christian I think I am on the right path and I can attest that the name of Jesus has made a lot OG impact in my life personally

I am not saying this to convert you. I don't care about how you ENd up but it will be on record that I told you this .

If I where you try Jesus the son of God and try worshiping God in his love

Christianity never failed any one

Countless people were saved outside the religion of those days , For instance , Job :

"In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil." - Job 1:1

Others included Caleb, Ruth , etc who were favoured because they lived an honourable life in reverence for God.

So , why is this not applicable today ?? Why can a man who lives a righteousness life with the fear of God not be acceptable in God's sight ?
