It'll interest you to know that in "Jehovah Witness" heaven on earth, only 144,000people would make it. That's about 0.5% out of 100%.

P.S- Don't mistake Oyedepo's heaven on earth with JW own.

Oyedepo own is already taking place while JW witness own is on the last day.

Confusion grandeur. undecided



And ermm, Standd is a physicists not a lawyer. smiley

You're right. But what I don't get is people treating me like an unbeliever because I don't go to church. These are people who have premarital sex & fight & lie all week.

cheesy
I don't know why I'm finding this funny.
Still try go church abeg ,I used to take breaks from church myself with the excuse of I'll pray my rosary but no its good to keep the sunday.

For your information, there's nothing like heaven on Earth.
That's a pure heresy.
You need more of theology and my battery is low - I'll attend to you later.
The new Jerusalem isn't to be taken literally - she's Mary who bore her son and i'll explain it later.

If there's heaven on earth, why did Elijah ascend into heaven without dying instead of waiting on earth.
JW teach that dead bodies don't appear but Moses and Abraham appeared during transifiguration.

Personally, I don't have a prob with religion.

It only boils down to the individuals and the height they've attained in their relgious marathon.

No true religion supports violence, discrimination, tribalism or even racism.

The fanatics that tend to take the laws into their
hands are more or less individuals who have had the doctrines of their religion interpreted wrongly.

Religion if rightly practised, is a great tool that can reshape the world.

This is what I believe.

Gbam!! But if you believe absolutely in religion, what happens to those who lived before the advent of the 'white-mans' religion?
They had their own religion. In Africa, it's called the African Traditional Religion (ATR), which a very small number of people in Africa still value, and in fact, practice till date. smiley

Exactly. You can NOT love your moslem God and hate your Christian neighbour. That is the point. How can you claim to love a God that you never seen but hate people who are with you physically.

What if the God in question requires that you kill people like YHWH told Abraham and Joshua to do in the bible? Abraham was told to murder his son, and Joshua was ordered to decapitate anything that breathed in the whole land of Canaan, especially women and small children.

Once the precedent is there, what's stopping this same God from repeating the experience today using another person? How do we make sure that the person isn't making it up when the bible has records of similar demands?

I really have a lot to say on this but NL is not the place to say them. I have come to realize that not everyone can transcribe words to understand it's content plus intent of the writer.
Religion issues affects people in very deep places so I will put a lid on my thoughts.

U obviously have nothing to say. Or you will also transcribe the words in the way that will suit ur believe. God asked Abraham to kill his own son as a sacrifice for him... What kind of test is that? God even killed his own son as a sacrifice to himself so as to save mankind. He killed the innocent first borns of Egypt just to set the Israelites free. He instructed Joshua to behead sinful others...how then can he turn around and instruct us to Love our neighbours as ourselves? And again ask Christians not to be equally yolked with unbelievers... Christians demonise people and call them their enemies... Is this how to love ur neighbour? The bible call people who don't believe in God fools and this is the best language for the so called loveable Christians.

Who says it is not God that is instructing ISIS to do all this killings... He has done it before, and he can do it again. Remember... He never changes.

Exactly my point. On what grounds does anyone use mouth to tell BOKO and ISIS that they are not carrying out the instructions of God?

Btw, ISIS couldn't pull that crap in a world filled with atheists. They would run into recruitment problems.

@standd,

Lovely piece

Religion is indeed touchy however Christians and Muslims do not serve the same God yet We are to love our neighbors as oirselves

You have just encountered the Nigerian god as described by Elnathan grin

We are living religion devoid of life coupled with our hypocrisy tongue horrible combo

Interestingly, these little things are highlighted in the Bible

Study the Bible more

Take care

This is a wonderful write up,its the best I have read so far here on nairaland,i cant but agree with you totally,,the truth is anyone who claims to love God but hates his/her neighbour nomatter who or what you believe in is not a real Christian,even God himself did question our claim of love for him whom we have never seen but have no love for our fellow human beigns.May God continue to strengthen you,dont let your love for Jesus to die ,i love Him too,soo very much.

Forgive my idiocy, but sometimes I do wonder whether God truly created some of us in His own image and likeness. They can't just be loved.

Sometimes it's very easy to hate our 'neighbour' and still love God, or rather, claim to love God. We don't see God, we see people. We don't feel God or His presence very directly (unless one is in the realm of the spirit) but we feel people. These people behave in a certain manner that's only worthy of hate, not love.

How do we control this?
