1 Corinthians 8:4-6
So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that [b]there is only one God. 5There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords. 6But for us,

There is one God, the Father....."

Either there are multiple gods or there are none

This statement proves your IQ is superb!

That's how Satan wants to channel the thought of all humans but it will cost you time and humility to figure out the truth about GOD and GODS.

Humans always think of how to progress in life so when they're seeking guidance what comes to their minds is higher intelligent beings wiser than them that's why some aliens seized the opportunity to approach mankind as GODS. Humans have a lifespan so we do expire after sometime but these aliens don't have a lifespan and as we all know that experience is a great teacher due to countless years they've spent as living beings they tend to be wiser than humans so when they speak to humans and offer advices humans have no other options than to pay tributes to them in form of WORSHIP.
So you're right there are many Gods. 1Corinthians 8:5
But where do this intelligent beings come from?
Why do they contradict one another when given counsels?
These two questions will solve all the riddles if you can find correct answers to them.

We need to know where they come from that's when we can be sure if they can truly help us and since their counsels leads to contradictions humans have been waging wars against ourselves based on what these aliens tells us. For instance in ancient times before people takes a dispute to the next level they always consult these aliens through oracles but instead of getting wise counsel on how to resolve the disputes the aliens will give both sides support to press on with the disputes that's why people often goes to war till today. So don't think people just carry weapons thinking of killing or getting killed NO there are higher intelligent beings supporting them in going for wars no right thinking human leaves his or her families just to go killing or getting killed for their families to face a life of uncertainty.

This is how intelligent people came to discover that those Gods themselves are rivals!

So how can one religion prove that there God is the Almighty who created everything including the unseen aliens confusing mankind?
For this question you have to listen carefully to what each religion has to say about:

How they come in contact with their God?
Why did this God approach their ancestors?
What this God has done for them before?
What plans does this God has for the future?
How has this God been supportive in making such good plans/prospect a reality?


With the above in mind the Bible God comes first! smiley

There was no church in west Africa before slavery
This mindset is wrong!
White politicians came to Africa, connived with black politicians for slave trade doesn't define any religion. Remember that it's blacks doing business with whites when talking about slave trade the whites didn't just come into people's houses to drag them away rather it's blacks who often kidnap their own people and sell them to the whites.
So please remove that from your lenses to see clearly!
Faith in God has no business with slavery, if you want to blame the white man's God what about the black man's God after all both whites and blacks were into the trade! undecided

tundein18:

so there was no god until then is what you’re saying
Of course people in all the continents believe in the existence of supernaturals (Gods) which means Gods exist but which of all these Gods is the Creator of heaven and earth?
That's what makes the Bible God comes to mind because with His book (Bible) the most important questions about faith in God has been answered!

All humans met their ancestors worshiping one God or another so these questions should be answered!

How did they come in contact with God?
Why did God approach our ancestors?
What has God done for them before?
What plans did God has for the future?
How has God been supportive in making such good plans/prospect a reality?


Only the Bible God addressed these that's why intelligent people believe that all other Gods are FAKE! smiley

The Bible wasn't written by Europeans!

It's like blaming Ṣàngó for the evil done by some Cameroonians claiming worshipers of Sàngó.

The Bible was written by Israelites (Asia minor) the fact that Europeans first discovered that book doesn't make it their own neither does the religion originate with them! smiley

If Jesus Christ is lord then how are there multiple lords in Christ?
There are many fake Gods worshiped on this planet so after the true God used the Bible to introduce Himself all those fake Gods started transforming themselves as the God of the Bible {2Corinthians 11:14} so if you're really observant and intelligent you will discover that there are different religions all claiming they're for Christ but when you carefully examine them you will see that they reflect one ancient religion that people in that location worshiped before the Bible got there!

Take for instance in Western Nigeria alone there was a God called "Ṣànpọ̀nná" this God was known by it's worshipers as the God of vengeance who always kill offenders by fire so the worshipers often call on Ṣànpọ̀nná to kill their enemies. But today instead of calling this God by the original name they're calling on Jesus to kill their enemies by fire whereas Jesus told his own disciples to pray for their enemies! Luke 6:28

Again there's another God known here as the God of child birth according to the adherents this God always give barren women children but today worshipers of this God are calling on Jesus to come and give them children whereas Jesus supported his disciples who aren't married not to talk of bearing children because according to him they will be more focused on doing what is good instead of thinking of how to accumulate everything to give their children! Matthew 19:12

Again there were magicians before the Bible came to Africa but today where are our magicians? Well they're performing their tricks in worship centers in Jesus name {Matthew 7:21-23} then instead of their audience to appreciate them with whatever they have for the entertainment this magicians are demanding ten percent of the earnings of their audience calling it TITHES in Jesus name whereas Jesus cursed Israelites who were collecting tithes from their own people! Matthew 23:23

So if you want to know the truth don't just conclude on what people around you are doing make a thorough research! 1Thessalonians 5:21

Thanks! smiley

Who told you there was no church? Certainly not the church as you know it to be but people have been paying their respects and tributes (worship) to God. You saw it, Abel and Cain were in church and having a church in their day.

No it didn't. The bornu empire (Kanuri) were already converted to islam well before fulani jihad started. Same with Kano. Fulani jihads started in 18th century but kanuri (bornu) embraced islam in the 11th century and kano in the 13th -15th.

There is only one creator...but different gods.
The Yoruba call him Olodumare
The Igbos call him CHUKWU
The Akwa Iboms call him Abasi
The Bini's call him Osanobua
The Esab calls him Osalobua
The ancient Egyptian called him Ra
The Babylonian called him Marduk
The Indians calls him Brahma
The Jews calls him Hashem


Same God, different nomenclature...

Which is just the totality of the conciouseness of the universe....

gods are just personification of divine laws and principles...
E.g Thor/Sango/Amadioha which is just the god of thunder and lightening in Norse/Yoruba/Igbo mythologies respectively

I studied Yorùbá history and according to our history the first time our people got in contact with Islam was through the Fulanis in the days of Àfọ̀njá (Ìlọrin warlord) who connived with Alimi (Fulani warlord) to liberate himself and his people under Ọ̀yọ́ empire! smiley

The first Mosque was built in Iyi-Ile in Oyo empire in 1550, which was more than 200 years before Usman Danfodio’s Jihad took off in Northern Nigeria. The new house of worship, Mosque, was built in Iwo in 1655, while Iseyin and Lagos shared the luxury of the new architecture in 1760 and 1774 respectively.
