I'm not looking at this from the religion point of view but from the colonists side. They used religion as tool to achieve their selfish goals and also messed with history badly.

Them clever colonialists.

Imagine what would have happened if the missionaries came before the slave trade.

Why did the missionaries come last after Africans have suffered, died and wasted in the hands of the Englishmen?

Can't you see their genius tactics?

Misogynist2014:

'Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.' Acts 13:46
'Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, andthatthey will hear it.' Acts 28:28

But Jesus said that his salvation is not for the gentiles and he also said that he was only sent to the Israelis.

Paul's words could not have abrogated Jesus's words, could they?

dude now you've gone too far ,in as much as I see loop holes that I'm looking for answers for , I don't blaspheme and think of it this way.What if you bliv and you die only to find out it was all lies,you lose nothing but what if you don't bliv only to die and find it was true,you lose everything.Best advice to you is be sure and look for answers rather than blaspheming and I don't see why you even upset, the guy never insulted you.

Im firm in my assumption. Ive seen and heard enough throughout my experience. If my beliefs are false and im thrown into the xtian pit of hell, i will jump in there with all the pride i can muster for then i know that this god was not a God but satan himself for playing with my world, emotions and perception in such a way.
A life of involuntary lies? Theres no justice there. To deserve such, I must then be a truly accursed being to walk this Earth.

You ask me why am I upset? I am upset because such lazy foolz lyk that bastart are wat is keeping my nation backward and in ignorance. That lazy animal is just adding fuel to fire. It angers me to the core. You are not a Pagan in a country called Nigeria. I would rather be born a Pagan in India or China. Definitely not like this. We suffer a lot here in our own land. Our ways are disappearing fast. Our numbers are low. Our shrines are lying neglected in ruins. The environment is going bad. The sweet tinz of our youth are no more today. You never grew up in the village. You will never know how different things are now. And its for the worse.

These foreign religions are very dangerous to Nigeria. Dont underestimate them. Truly evil magic that stems from the days of that satanic wizard called moses. It has destroyed more than half the world . It must be fought bak. These deluded souls dont realise..

Hey wait!

Someone should clarify these accusations though.
Did Hitler murder a whole lot of Jews for sport or for religion?

And I think the Spanish reverend fathers were been killed in d Spanish war from the little I know about the inquisition in that movie! "Men become dragons" where Pope José Maria suffered.

Why did it take such years for the GOSPEL to reach Nigeria?

What a question?!...thinking
Should we blame God?...Absolutely NO!!!
Who should we blame?...Man? I think YES, Man should be blamed.

Here's my reason why I won't & will never blame God for the delay of the gospel. I know one thing for sure...that it cost God nothing to change every living human on earth into his own side, if HE can turn SAUL to PAUL. And guess what, everyone's heart is at his reach...BUT he won't pull everyone's to his own side. He want's Us all to make a our own choice.

Here's the reason why I will blame we men for the delay. I Observe one thing when God met SAUL on his way to DAMASCUS to kill & destroy the GOSPEL...within a second God changed him. But GOD didn't preach to HIM, he had to send him to a place, to a man who will instill...lemme use teach or pass the GOSPEL into him.
THIS WILL TAKE TIME...shabi? Saul no fit know all he knows in one day...he had to learn it. Even God in man(Jesus), while he was on earth had to wait to be trained, learn, filled with power and commissioned before He began His mission.

I WILL SAY GOD WORKS IN HIS OWN WAYS & WITH HIS OWN TIME...GOD ways & things is mysterious to us. It's kinda slow and steady to us.

BUT think about this...I blame men, because those who have receive the gospel early enough are STINGY!!!
This does happen a lot and it slows down GOD'S GOSPEL...in jerusalem after Jesus ascension his disciples were stingy. They never want to leave jerusalem despite his instruction "You will receive power and you will be my witness through out the ends of the earth" But GOD had to scatter them using PERSECUTION...mind You Saul led this.

Even after then, they still become stingy...that's why they face more persecution! In our present time, those who have receive the gospel were like this too...STINGY!
God will create a circumstance/situation to push His gospel to the ends of the earth even if we no wan preach!

The european have the gospel but they no wan bring am come here because they were scared...God create a circumstance/situation/situation(slavery) to bring it in.

And maybe slavery is our own punishment for not going after the light.

We should blame the ppl who created, who preach and who spread christianity. These are demons in human skin.

Its quite unfortunate that @ this age,stage and with your level of education,you still resort to our forefathers tactics of countering constructive arguements with insults,racist comments,religious bigoty and enthnocentric thoughts...I dropped a question,if you have no answer or cant criticize,you shut up but instead you call me a Nigger,probably u bleached so u feel white,go to Germany,then you will know we are both Niggers,its quite unfortunate that its people that think and act like you that are piloting affairs of this country,, I went to a catholic school.am very vast in the bible,am sure better than you,,i brought a simple food for thoughts but you start insulting cos u dont have sense...tell me what do pastors say when they are speaking in tongues,?? Have u encountered jinn spirit before?? Do you know the history of christianity?? Why are there so many versions of the bible?? This are many questions are what you should ask yourself,but you choose to blindly follow any religion....Even the europeans that brought chistianity to enslave us seldom go to church,ave been to england before,i witnessed their sunday services,turnouts are always low...they are christians @ hearts that why they are always progressing,but people like you are wicked @ heart and christians @ mouth,that why when someone makes a claim about ur religion,instead of investigating,u fire back..i dont have ur time brother,,go and garner knowledge den come back so we argue constructively

U make no sense. undecided I am not a christian. And wat do u mean by our forefathers tactics of insulting?

Infact I blame our forefathers gentle, docile, unsuspecting and welcoming ways for letting in the two evil satanic elements to practice and preach on our soil. They shouldve crucified the first oyinbo missionaries lyk wat the Japs did. Then u wudve been saved from askin all these 'genuine' questions on this forum.

Just look at the illiterate drivel being typed, even by the guy right above this post. This thread should have been left in the Religion section where more intelligent/aware posters can be accessed.

Go find your Pastor or your ancestors to ask those hypocritical questions. Every topic you have created is aimed at antagonizing Christianity. Once again it sucks to be you !

Your argument is just like saying God chose a particular family or group to teach, knowing fully well that there are Negros in the other side of the world.

Why didn't he start from this part of the earth from where we would've dutifully spread this gospel to other part of the world. Of course, he must have seen and known we were mentally challenged and intellectually incapacitated to have paid any attention, I mean, define savages in your own words.

Going by your post, the omnipresent deliberately abandoned Nigerians and Africans to "the missionaries" to teach his words and his second coming. This, my friend, is a clear indication that all these gospel were false stories conjured up by ancient elites who forcefully shoved Christianity down your ancestors' throats all in a bid to rid them of all barbaric, primitive and animalistic tendencies inherent among the black race.


I know you must be sitting in front of your laptop feeling all wise and superior but bruh, I have news for you... Christianity is a ploy, God is a myth, Jesus was a performer, a stage clown who is dead and buried, he was probably a philanthropist/wise man whom the poor looked up to for food and companionship, that's why he's still remembered till today.

Nigerians and Africans, when watching Hollywood movies, would always go "what!!! so these Americans know who God is?" And I'll always feel so irritated thinking to myself "look at these gullible and brainwashed simpletons, you've all forgotten they're the people that pushed Christianity into your black skulls... They probably know it was all lies and basks in the fact that you celebrate their well composed religious book".

Young sire, you and the black race were of no good, assuming the whole bible trash was ever true.

Of course, do not question God, his reasons are "best" known to him alone. tongue
There are some people that argue that the ancient Hebrews where black. Also, the gospel reach Ethiopia duing the time of paul so your argument doesn't hold.
