DRAMA
I was at the National headquarter of The West African
Examinations Council (WAEC) today for a confirmation of
result. I went to the customer service center and a lady
attended to me.
She asked for what use and I said "for international use". She
asked, "What country?, I replied" Saudi Arabia ". She looked at
me with a concerned and pitiful eyes and asked why would
anyone go to Saudi Arabia where there's so much bombing".
I made her understand that Saudi Arabia is not Iraq or Syria.
And as a matter of fact, Saudi Arabia is peaceful than America,
Mexico and even Nigeria. I went further, "all what is happening
there in Syria and Iraq is politics. Does it make sense if a
minority group starts killing the majority claiming they are
preaching true Islam to the majority by killing them?. If they
end up killing the majority who would practise the version of
Islam this minority group is preaching". That was the beginning
of the drama.
The lady concurred, smiled and wished me luck. As I was
about to move move out, her colleague (a male) asked if I'm
Christian or Muslim. I told him I am a Muslim once a
Christian. He asked, "how many minutes do you have?". I
replied, "As much as you want". With that, he offered me a
seat.
He asked me to narrate why I reverted. The lady was also
paying attention from her chair. I started with the Bible. If the
authenticity of the Bible cannot be proved, if the Bible is
proved to be unreliable, then there's a problem with
Christianity. 66 books in the protestant Bible, 73 Books in the
Catholic Bible, 61 books in the Syrianic version etc. If the Bible
was from God, which of these Bibles. By now, other staff were
coming to listen.
I went on to give him some little contradictions in the Bible
e.g, the age of Ahaziah in the KJV Bible, 22 or 42,how old was
Ahaziah when he began to reign. (2Kings 8 :26 versus 2
chronicle 22 :2)
He mentioned to me that Christians are not concerned about
letters but what is revealed by the Spirit. That prompted me to
ask him where would he pick his story from if I ask him about
whom Jesus was. The spirit or the letter? . By this time, we
have not just attracted the attention of the staff, those who
had something to do in the organization were listening too.
I went on to tell him that singing, clapping, dancing is not the
right way to worship God given that Jesus never ordered
Christians to do so rather he was reported to have bowed
down in worship according to Matthew 26:39.In Matthew
chapter 4,the devil was recorded to have tempted Jesus. He
took Jesus to an exceedingly high mountain and showed him
the kingdoms of the world.
This is a scientific error as no one can see the other continent
even by standing on the mountain everest. He argued the
temptation was spiritual. I said, "If the temptation was spiritual
, there would be no need of taking him to an exceedingly high
mountain moreover, when the devil asked Jesus to jump
down if he's a son of God, did the devil meant a spiritual
mountain?. The customer care lady resorted to laughing at her
colleague's dumbness.
The devil asked Jesus to how for him, why not singing and
dancing?
One of those who came to do something in the organization
turned listener asked me, How many times was Muhammad
mentioned in the Quran. I instantly knew what game he was
trying to play. I said I can't remember but I can remember
Jesus was mentioned more than him same as the devil and
also Moses hence destroying his Mario Joseph's game. He
ended up looking silly.
Another staff (a female) said, "YOU ARE A FANATIC".
I said, "Fanatics are always aggressive and as you can see I
am not. Who is a fanatic if not someone who gets on the bus
and starts preaching Jesus is Lord. Who is a fanatic if not
someone who knocks on your door and says he wants to
share the word of God with you. I'm not a fanatic because I
never started the conversation "...
We discussed many things. The customer care lady and the
man who questioned me eventually collected my number for
future discussions.
I left them with an assignment, In John 1:19-21,there was a
prophet not mentioned by name. Please ask the holy spirit.
