bvite: let him go and cast out demon in his own name or in d name of atheism, at least if you dont knw much about somtin, u'll kip quiet, no wonder king solomon said in his proverbs: ``a wise man calms down to learn 4rm odas & gains more wisdom, but a fool echoes his points'' bro atheist, pls com out of ur cloak of foolishness b4 ur time runs out.

So who wrote the new testament? Do you know, or care to know?

Or is it enough for you that it came from a ''white man'', even if the white man was a child rap.ist or tramp in ancient Greece?

Why are you upset that you are being forced to use your brain for once in your religion?

SLIDEwaxie: if u are a muslim, u are a dunce, because u are apparently having a book purportedly written by God and which still contains almost everything the bible does. The only funny thing was that they have it more many many years after the bible. So, it's practically a revised version of the bible.

If you are a pagan, u are a fool because I will ask u if any of the gods u are currently worshipping were created by ur dad! Or by you! People of old who created them, how did u even knw the gods existed, or were real? And all those who worship them are dunces who like Christians(if we have to go by ur argument), don't knw what they actually worship but what they were taught to be worshipping. If they give u a man-made object and ask u to subject urself to it's rules, how is that different to christians?

If u are an atheist, you are the worst one living who had no directions! The truth is, you are bunches of rebellious ones who didn't want to subject themselves to any religious morals and laws. They want to do as they like and justify themselves, but the funny aspect is that they follow the laws of the land like traffic laws and the rest. They ask for freedom of the mind, yet they wanted religious individuals to shun religion! How is that freedom if we can't choose wot we want? U wanted to be an atheist, I wanted to be a muslim or a christian, what's our problem. If u preach freedom, why do u want to win me to your side? Why shld u define freedom for me and still want me not to choose?

If u are a free-thinker, well, it's also your world. But like an atheist, u aint different! But as u are left to think freely, why not allow me to free myself as I deemed fit?

Dude, you have no case against me, and trying to find holes on what I do makes you more stupid.

But I challenge you to name which side you are instead of hiding as an anonymous and give us a chance to bring out all the loopholes in ur decision.

Who wrote the New Testament?

It's a simple enough question.

If you are a christian you are a fool because you worship a sadist and a God with anger management issues.

My question is why do you guys preach your gospel if you claim to respect other people's beliefs

the gospel is just like an advertisement, where u are not compelled to listen, or obliged to convert..it is not that I am throwing bombs and slicing throats to create a religious state that comprises only of my own religion! it's not that it has never happened of old when religion was forced on people by the crusaders, but we're talking abt wen the world started seeing it as primitive, some stupid religion are still forcing people into their religion! Some idiotic religion are still on it today, throwing bombs and killing innocent people including people of other religion aside theirs just to force them to convert. I knw I'm striking some cords there, but biliv me, it's deliberate .

Only a dumb, colonised, brainless he-goat sayeth in his mind that whoever asks ''who wrote the new testament?'' sayeth there is no God.

Can't be bothered to read your illiterate tripe. What I do gather from a quick glance at it is that you have no interest in who wrote the New Testament, and are not bothered by the anonymity of its authorship. Question is, why would an intelligent person accept a book with such fantastic claims and there is no known author?

Christian: The holy spirit inspired the bible.
Me: says who?
Christian:the bible
Me: Listen to yourself. Begging the question.

I always say if the scripture is inspired of God, so also is the Daily Times.

Excellent!

Could any of you 'born-again christians' ask your private jet riding pastors WHO WROTE THE NEW TESTAMENT?

I just can't understand how supposedly intelligent people can follow/worship a book whose authorship is unknown to them.

I mean...damnnn

God wrote the bible no question about it.

Is that a joke or are you serious?

I'm curious do any naijas study near eastern history or biblical archeology or have any of you read anything about how the bible was put together other than what oyibo missionary told u?

These ones? You must be having a laugh. Such disciplines do not make you rich so they're not on the radar.

Where are all the die-hard christians of the Religion Section? They've avoided this thread like the plague! Surely it's important to know who wrote the book you're worshiping?

Bump!

ROSSIKE:
So. essentially, you Africans are worshiping a foreign 'holy' book - are being led by the nose - by a foreign 'holy' book whose authorship is.... anonymous......unknown. As in zero data. No information.

Pathetic isn't it?

Really, how stup.id can you be?

You will keep going in circle. I pray you find what you are hunting for. It will make you so unstupid, just maybe.

And who is paul? And who command him to write? Where in the old testament is told that paul should write the new testament? Show me his picture because new testament was brought up in technological era (camera,video e.t.c). If u didn't answer then, u must be a devil in appearance

Christians.......
ROSSIKE, leave them be. The main reason for faith is cos its easier than accepting uncertainty.
My definition of faith - ignoring questions.

Many people just want to believe something somewhere would make things right. That's how they can go about their day. A consolation, you might call it.

And here u ar trying to remove what makes them alive. They would ignore you, cos if not their life of service would av been wasted. An entire childhood of fear of God, wld be a lie?

Stop trying please. At some point, everyone prays things were designed.

You mean I'm 'stupi.d' for demanding to know the author of a book I'm supposed to obey or risk eternal damnation?

Now I've heard it all. The thing about religion is that it actually lowers your IQ as shown by your comment.

LOL....Well, threads like this are useful to assist those among them who are strong and smart enough to re-examine their worldview without it crushing them, but simply weren't aware of the facts..... Knowledge can never be a bad thing.

The New Testament is the testimony of the Christian Church, most Catholics see it in this light, hence most of the problems attached to inerrancy of the Bible doesn't afflict them.

I think there's more to the issue than mere inerrancy, which presupposes an apriori authentic work albeit laced with inaccuracies. The issue of the anonymity of the new testament authorship raises questions as to whether ANY of what is written there is true, as relates to actual occurrences as opposed to pure fiction. This is worsened by the fact that there is no evidence of the existence of any of these new testament characters, including Jesus, outside of its texts.

New Testament was written 325 years after Yeshua (Jesus) by the Catholic Church.. The Hebrew Bible was written 900-1000 years before Yeshua (Jesus) was born. The Catholic Church deleted and added doctrines to the Bible (We read today)

I'm happy that your atheism has increased your IQ, you can now save the world from the perils of religion without answering the name 'saviour' nor convat anyone to any set of anonimous ideals to believe in. You have what you abor inside of you, that's your nightmare, not mine.

You're an ignorant, colonized cow, if you think that questioning the bible's authenticity amounts to ''atheism''. You clearly think God does not exist outside your little anonymous book of magic fairytales. Dumbito x 100,000.

Prove there was any 'Yeshua' that was ''the son of God''. Where is the evidence? Of course we know the NT was written at least three quarters of a century after the 'events' it 'reported'.

Tell us who wrote your 'holy book' or get lost. You are angry I refuse to be a dunce like you?

So as we stand now it's a question of:


Son: Daddy..daddy...who wrote the New Testament?

Father: Errr..... Shut up son. How dare you ask such a question? Do you want to go to hell?

Son: But Daddy, I only want to know who wrote the New Testament!

Father: Mama Emeka, Can you see the evil child you gave me? Please, take him and his satan back to your people before he gives me blood pressure in this house.

Son: But Daddy.. it's just a simple ques..

Father: Come on shut up there! Useless boy, asking stupi.d questions!! When I bring out my koboko, you will know who wrote your head!
