JesusmyGod1:They created this forum 'nairaland' in a bid to decimate Christianity and initiate as many as possible into ATHEISM and other available religion. When a thread is created in other religion, it suffers less or no attack, but check what happens when a thread is created on Christianity or Christ, then check the intensity of attacks it receives within seconds. You'll see the new atheist "recruts" shouting upandan: "religion is Sam, god doesn't exist, what if I tell you heaven doesn't exist" Etc Even some recent nairaland members have joined the lot. Since God "doesn't" exist like you claim, why not leave the thread alone. I don't waste my time opening any topic that wouldn't effect my life positively. Whether you praise Him or not, He is still God. And may God bless you. 1 Like 1 Share |

The truth be told, the reality of life is now sacrificed on the altar of religion. People now misunderstood themselves because of their doctrinal differences. But the question still remains, who are those people that have been writing and rewriting the bible? Cos they are the cause of this problems. |

This is a very lame attempt at distortion of facts... All the verses from 34 - 39 say nothing peaceful. In fact what the author has just done is to highlight other verses in the Bible that promote violence and rancor... all the quoted verses are about violence and turning parents against children and children against parents... I saw someone referring to Qur'an Chapter 2 verse 191 as a justification of violence in Islam, but you see a liar and an hypocrite will always be one... If you read that particular verse from beginning to the end, one would find clear directives that if hostilities is ceased towards the Muslims, then they should also stop immediately... And till now no Christian preacher of Islam being a violent religion has been able to disprove the fact that there is no place in the Qur'an where there is reference to armed struggle and the verse immediately preceding or succeeding that verse does not order an immediate ceasation hostilities and for people to coexist in peace... I hate dabbling into this topic of pointing out violence in Islam and Christianity, but some people like the author of this post have deliberately set out to misinform people, set people against each other and vilify others that don't accept their faith, but as a true Muslim I know for a fact that that is not what Christianity is about... What sort of a person would wake up on a Sunday morning and rather than go to Church and read his Bible, he comes on air and tries to spread discord... Shame on him!.... Why can't we just live in peace and love our neighbours like we love ourselves? I find so much relief and comfort in what the person above me said... All we need is love, tolerance and understanding... 2 Likes |

Mathew 10:34 34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Did you read the above verse? That verse has been misunderstood by many people in this world. Majority of them wonder why a well known peaceful man like Yahshua could utter such words. Non-Christians have often used that verse out of context to say that Christ supports terrorism and wasn't as peaceful as Christians portray him. To understand the above verse, we have to understand certain things which will explain the verse better and show how misconstrued the verse has been in the hands of malicious people. Be patient enough to read the below story. Kareem was born into a devoted Non-Christian family in the Middle East. He loved his God with all his earth and did his best to please him by not questioning the faith as restricted by his religion. However, he stumbled on a Christian book that changed him forever. He started seeing things differently. But the only problem he had was his family members and most especially his country. The punishment his religion prescribes for anyone that leaves it is DEATH. His father was the first to notice that he has stopped praying and attending their religious house. When he was asked why, he remembered the words of Christ in Mathew 10: 33 which says "But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven." Kareem couldn't help but confess to his father about his new faith. His father sparked with rage and went straight to the religious house. Little did Kareem know of what his father was up to. Two hours later, a large mob with sticks and stones were gathered in front of his house calling for his head for abandoning their religion. Thank God for the back door, he would have been dead by now. He still couldn't believe his father could want him dead for having a different religious opinion. END Now that you've read the story, let's see how it relates to the verse. Remember I told you of how the verse is always quoted out of context by malicious people who quote that verse without reading further for more understanding. Let's see the verse again and the succeeding verses. Be patient enough to read through. Mathew 10:34-39 34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 “For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; 36 and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD. 37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 “He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. From the above verses, we can see that the sword Christ was speaking of is the type that divides. In the case of Kareem, his love for Yahshua the Messiah has divided or separated him from his family as he can no longer visit them cos doing that will be his death. He has decided to be worthy of Christ by obeying verse 37. Same thing applies when you are redeemed from a pagan family, their lifestyle will no longer make sense to you. They won't want you in their midst anymore. That is the division that the sword of Yahshua brings, not the sword that beheads or cuts human parts. I hope you now understand the verse very well. If you still haven't, then ask yourself these questions: 1. How come he preached turning the other cheek? 2. How come he prayed for his killers while he was on the cross? 3. How come his message was always love? 4. How come he didn't kill anybody but ressurected a dead man? 5. How come he rebuked Peter for using a knife on a soldier whom he later healed? I could go on and on...and if at this moment you still dont understand the verse and entire passage, then it means you are not being sincere with yourself. Peace! |

alBHAGDADI:Help me explain the verses below. Chronicles 25:12 The sons of Judah also captured 10,000 alive and brought them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from the top of the cliff, so that they were all dashed to pieces.(NASB) Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open . (NRSV 1 Samuel 15:3,8 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys .’ ” … He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword .(NIV) Joshua 8:24-26 When the Israelite army finished chasing and killing all the men of Ai in the open fields, they went back and finished off everyone inside. So the entire population of Ai, including men and women, was wiped out that day—12,000 in all. For Joshua kept holding out his spear until everyone who had lived in Ai was completely destroyed .

Matthew 15 vs 24 He answered, “I WAS ONLY SENT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL.” The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the gentile dogs.” After reading this verse, I wonder why african Christians still believe a dead Jew from an ancient village in the middle East died for them.. For those who dont know, dog was a racial word used by the Jews. Your chisos was a racist, his father Yaweh a tribal war lord Mental slavery is a disease |

realmindz:He was only sent to the Israelites at that time, cos he had to save his people first before others. The moment he resurrected, he sent his disciples to go save other nations.

alBHAGDADI: so his mission changed after he died? Or Jesus did not understand what he came for at first, or was he confused. And why cant make it clear he came for the world.? I read and understood clearly. I CAME ONLY FOR THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL. Are u an Israelite? |
