How Were People Solving Their Spiritual Issues When There Was No Christianity by lastchild: 8:51pm On Jan 07, 2015
We believe that whatever spiritual problem we have today must be solved by prayers and no way else

Now my questions are:

When there was no Christianity, were people not having these problems? Were they not solving them? How were they solving them?

Not all require human blood, goat blood etc. Some use herbs and chanting of various names of Gods to get a better understanding of the problem. You see, African Traditional Religion today lacks credibility because it was not written down in a holy book. Worse, the advent of the influence of foreign religion finally erode the little history and relevance of the ATR. Most of the Actions of the Gods or gods of the Old Testament are not different from African Gods. The different perhaps was that, theirs was written down on a "holy book " while ours was not. African Gods like Amadioha, Ogun, etc. are real to the Africans and their worshippers as much as elohim is a valid God to the christians.
To this end, African have been solving their problems time immemorial using their ways.

According to religious ethic, some problems are solved while some end up resurfacing after a while. d bottom line is dat, devil can't give you a gift without collecting something else from you. dia must be an exchange.

Excuse me! Small Gods you say?. Yet these Gods protected our ancestors, kept our lands free from disasters, enabled us build empires, graced us with intelligence and skills to overcome life's huddles, healed us etc.

Surely ur God, Jehovah must be the small ones

what exactly do u mean by perfect thing? Perfection is subjective to individual perspective...so pls explain


Lmao ur Christian god has achieved nothing in last 2000yrs of his existence.

Where was Christianity in the 200BC? When Rome was high and mighty with it's God Jupiter(Zeus in Greek)
Where was ur stuupid young god around the 1500BC when Egypt was at it's peak by Grace of Ptah and AmenRa, that greeks had to come into Africa to learn science

What has ur god achieved as the acclaimed perfect one?

Happiness he who seeks may win, if he practise the seeking.

Thou hast said, "Seek ye My face."

GOD he who seeks WILL win, if he practise the seeking.

But IN EVERY NATION he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.

Act 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Act 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Please bro how is all these things you mentioned here different from the attributes of the old testament yahweh? Human sacrifice (almost used isaac, jesophaths daughter, and even his own son jesus) animal sacrifice and ethnical cleansing, infanticides... why dont you start condemning from here... This is one thing with religion. everybody so quick to point out the flaws in others but ignore that same flaw existing within their own order, i think somehow they think theirs is different...
