walex1991:I didnt say they are false prophets. Mohammed is a prophet no doubt but Angel gabriel told him pbuh that Jesus would come back again. If that is true How would Jesus feel when He comes back and some people on this planet equate Him to the level of prophets. For someone to have the power to come back to this planet that means He is beyond a mere prophet. We never discussed creation, check our interactions but if we are going to discuss creation no problem. Read the torah very well, almost all the commands there are practiced by muslims today Do not eat pork Lev 11: 7-8 Even the no alcohol is a pure new testament directive Stone adulteres Lev 20 vs 10 In quaran 7 vs 10 Allah created in six days, is it not the same with the bible. Who wrote it first bible or quaran? Don't you see the plagiarism? The same one in Jevoha witness' bible, the same in the book of mormon. There is only one book, even the bible warned of such distortion to come in Rev 22: 18-19. Come to think of it, why are you not reading the book of Mormon, since according to you it is a holy book? Or even Jehova witness bible? Not even all the translated bibles are correct, some New Age proponents have started to distort the bible too. The only translation i respect is the old greek wordings and the king james and then somehow NIV. Other ones now are just Newage distortion. In Acts 16 vs 6, their life was in danger if they went to Asia. God stopped them from going there. Are you telling me God is not sending people to Asian countries to preach and what becomes of them death. If you were a missionary don't you have the right to listen to the promptings of God to protect you from danger. Also in another context is it not part of prophecy, right now can the Gospel be preached in Asia without someone loosing his life, common we see it in the news were Christians are mudered for preaching openly. The only advise I would give you is this, forget quaran, forget Bible. Tell God Himself the you want to know the truth. |

budaatum: Budatum, I must confess I love your write-up above. But my question is are you arguing from a philosophical angle. Because, your argument lean in that direction. Musicwriter might have a vendetta against religion. But I think he's arguing for the necessity of doing away with our culture in favour of religion that does not concerns us, I think that his where he is right. Do we really need it. What happened to us going back to African spirituality, is there any crime in that. And from your write up, I can deduce you are a liberal man who believe there's truth in every school of thought. But why must it be the status quo. And we should ask ourselves this question too, has religion been found worthy to achieve spirituality, has it been found worthy to be a moral guideline to live a morally upright life. 3 Likes 1 Share |

bodee: Just in case you're not aware but I don't like that tag ''sir'' associated to me. Sir was a title that English people gave to slave traders, thieves, murders. Example; in 1919, a British man, Reginald, killed more than 10,000 people in India. He returned to England to a hero's welcome. His social status arose and he was called sir. The British people also gave him over $500 million to say say thank you. So, when we call ourselves this title, we actually assume the supremacy of those that enslaved us!. In other words, we become our own enemy!. And this's why we can't get things right in Africa because we have adopted an alien perception of reality. Thus, are unable to understand ourselves and solution to our problems. Now to your question..................... Spirituality means exploring reality beyond religions. You would look for meaning of life beyond religions. But if you're not spiritual you'll think that your Christianity or Islam has figured out the meaning and purpose of life. If you even go higher in spirituality, you could explore beyond science i.e metaphysics. A metaphysics (which is actually what I mean by spirituality) would choose ''knowledge'' instead of ''believing'' in something. He would try to understand how the mind works, how reality is generated and why you believe in what you believe. It allows you to understand that everything is all connected and that we're are all one with nature. Therefore, we're one and the same with God. We're not separate from God and we shouldn't be looking for God outside of ourselves. A spiritual person understands that God cannot be limited by a so called holy book or doctrines. As a result, he would want to know more and more about what we call God, instead of a religious person that would be satisfied with ''just accept Jesus as your personal lord and savior'' or ''accept Muhammad as the messenger of Allah'' and all would be fine. Spirituality helps you understand there's more meaning to life than Jesus or Muhammad. It gives common sense enough to understand that God would never ask for tithe or put a middle man between itself and us or put someone in hell. A spiritual person would understand that any such teaching must be false because it doesn't pass the test of common sense. If you're spiritual you would, for instance, understand that there's no difference between Christianity and Islam or other religions. They're all saying and doing the same thing at the end of the day. The ancient people practiced spirituality, unfortunately, Europeans and Arabs came in and placed themselves in the position of God and claimed God gave them a book about himself. But that's a lie!. They wrote the books themselves to control people. This guy did a nice job trying to explain how a spiritual person may understand the real God. See https://jacobniegowski.com/the-real-god/ |

I wonder if you have come across Mysterium Coniunctionis. It is Volume 14 of Jung's Collected Works and is subtitled An Inquiry into the Separation and Synthesis of Psychic Opposites in Alchemy. I must say that it does what it says on the cover. I wonder if he might have explained it better himself. Here's a pdf download. |
Re: List Of Gods That Died And Resurrected After 3 Days by budaatum: 7:48pm On Apr 21, 2019 |
hayoholla:Respect. That's why I have not got round to replying you till now. The fact you appear to see what's there has made me take time to consider my response. So, here goes. No, I am not "arguing for a philosophical angle" (on the assumption that by "philosophical angle", you mean "looking at it philosophically" ). The angle one looks at a thing determines what one sees. If one does not move to other angles, one might believe one has seen, yet, if one moved to other angles it might seem different. So, move around to different angles and look again, at least, just in case, would be my preferred angle; and not just standing in one angle assuming what I see is what another sees or what is there even. In biblespeak, I eat not only bread for fear of becoming malnourished. One should not limit one's angles just as one should not limit oneself to the use of only the five senses. Hermetically, materialistically, spiritually, gnostically, agnostically, atheistically, sceptically, cynically, logically, rationally, irrationally, fundamentally, critically, stupidly, religiously, philosophically etc, are just a very few other angles one could consider looking from, is my leaning and what I would argue for, at least for those who wish to be well nourished. I don't think Musicwriter has a vendetta against religion. He just seems to think that religion is used to control which makes me think he views religion from limited angles and wonder if it is from the angle of the controlled. Merely reading the scripture debunks this notion. Religion is simply the continuous teaching or practise of doctrine. I wonder if Music might consider that it is the teaching of wrong doctrines (of single view wrong angles), that he disagrees with. I get this feeling from his opposition to "belief", which we share (though not acknowledged by either of us yet). I never could stand hearing people saying they don't believe gods exist, for instance. I was a "gods do not exist except in the minds of those in whom they have been created" atheist for most of my life until recently when I decided to create god in my own mind and become a theist. Most Nigerians have not considered religion otherwise but from a believing angle. Even atheists do it when they limit religion to belief and see theism as believing. Imagine taking a believing attitude about any fiction you've ever read! Even as a child I had difficulty with that. I'll illustrate. Many read how Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden and got kicked out for being disobedient. It comes so early in the book that it sort of puts one at the angle through which the rest of the book might be seen. That angle clearly is, 'if one disobeys one's lord one will suffer', and is a fundamental belief of most readers of that story. A cynical angle however might make Adam and Eve appear enslaved somewhere and kept ignorant and naked until they were freed by a snake. You might see how one view might enslave one while the other might show one the enslaver from whom one must free oneself. Another angle, the childish one perhaps, might be that of the snake freeing slaves and cause one to go about freeing other people. All angles are not controlling angles, is my point, despite the predominant accepted angle being one of control as Music pointed out. However, that can only be said in complete disregard of the snake, and our Lord Jesus Christ, in my opinion. Neither was controlling. There might be value in looking at scripture and religion from a different angle and even from multiple angles at once, is what I'd have considered. Regarding going back to "African Spirituality", you might want to consider my view as expressed here. The summary would be, 'We can't go back to some horrible nasty brutal past, nor are we maintaining some status quo. Onward everybody! Evolve!' Except some think the past was rosy. I wonder if that's due to the lack of a historical angle in the Nigerian education system. Regardless, you still can't go back to the past. Least not without a time machine or something of the like. |

The Jesus character was invented by the Romans He takes out of various older characters, the most popular is Horus and this due to the striking characteristics they both possess. The obvious one is the Mother-Child relationship, Isis and Horus Mary and Jesus Then you have them using similar terminology: "I am Horus in glory . . . I am the Lord of the Light . . . I am the victorious one . . . I am the heir of endless time . . . I, even I, am he that knoweth the path of heaven" Then you have the "Ankh", according to Ancient Egyptians is supposed to be the symbol of re-birth or reincarnation. The one Horus is holding in the depiction below. The authors of Abrahamic text plagerized Ancient Egyptian text and religious concepts as they did with various many others. These similar pattern is also identified with relationships between Jesus and Krishna, Jesus and Buddha e.t.c 1 Like 2 Shares

@ musicwriter See how you are using worldly wisdom to discern the things of the spirit. It doesn't work that way. Jesus is depicted as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. These are merely figurative expressions. https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/3-19.htm&hl=pcm-NG https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/1-18.htm&hl=pcm-NG Op to set you right finally.Bible called Christians the light of the world.

deltateam: Its you that needs be set right, cause you're languishing in an alien religion used to enslave your ancestors. I don't know when you all would come out of this since you're satisfied with your bible book of indoctrination, therefore, allergic to new knowledge from historical research. It is important you note that the bible you've quoted is not a book of knowledge when taken outside your church. Example; figurative, metaphoric, allegorical expressions originated from real life situations NOT from your bible. Figurative and metaphoric use in speech such as ''the light of the world'' had been in use for thousands of years to refer to other gods when nobody knew of Jesus or Mary or Joseph. John is a lion (meaning John is a strong man) came to be used that way because our ancestors over thousands of years of seeing the lion knows that its a strong animal. It is from those real life situations that today's ''John is a lion'' figurative, metaphor were derived. So, are all figurative, metaphoric, allegorical derived from the SUN. Light of the world speech originated because ancient people worshiped the SUN. The SUN was one of the earliest God worshiped by humanity because ancient people could see for themselves that the sun is literally the light of the world. It is, indeed, from this real life situation that your Jesus and other gods like Mithra were called the light of the world. Jesus is a European pagan god representing the Sun. And what day do you worship it? SUNday!!. The day of the SUN!!. Sunday is the day the pagan god Mithra was was worshiped in ancient Europe. When the Roman empire morphed Mithraism and other religions together, they created Christianity but they retained the day of the worship of the pagan sun god Mithra. That's why your Jesus is called the light of the world. So, you see, the figurative use today didn't fell from the sky, it has a history. The following books are for anybody who want to research more about the origin of Christianity. Bible myths and their parallel in other religions- T.W Doane Christianity before Christ- John G Jackson The sixteen crucified saviors- Karsey Graves 101 Myths of the Bible: How ancient scribes invented biblical history- Gary Greenberg NAILED: Ten Christian myths that show Jesus never existed at all- David Fitzgerald. Myth and ritual in Christianity- Alan Watts Anacalypsis- Godfrey Higgins And if you don't have time and want a summary, the below documentary and lecture explains the African origin of Christianity, and all other religions for that matter.

musicwriter: But that's the thing. There is no "real God". Everything we read about gods are created by human beings. And we have so many gods because humans in different locations have different needs to conceive their gods with. And we abandon inferior gods for superior gods, at least mindful people do. I.e. Zeus for Yahweh, Yahweh for Jesus, and my own tribes abandonment of Sango, Ogun and Sopona for Jesus Christ and Mohammed. When one finds treasure in a field, one sells ones idols and uses the money to buy the field. We after all do benefit from the allegories we read. |

As it’s being established beyond any doubt, the fact that there are various characters from back in the days who are said by their followings, to have died and resurrected, in my mind there are only a handful that could even be really mentioned as to be qualified as such, our great God being one of these entities that befits such qualification and there’s RE. Re performs splendour and might, daily strengthening our very existence just being there in a precious humble. |

@Budaatum and @Musiclover you guys are amazing and reminiscing about all you guys have wrote. I would love to see you brothers in person to learn more practically on spirituality. For my own little contribution musiclover have a point that religion is used to control people and from another angle it has led to search for the truth which is questioning your faith. I will use myself as an example; I've been tossed like locust in life struggling in Lagos ups and downs but nothing to show for it. My life was Chaotic with all faithfulness as Christian to the extent that I've to travel to my hometown in Anambra where I discovered the root of my problems. I started to see that religion has been used as a cover for evil-doers... 2 Likes 2 Shares |
