I think the issue of “I am ‘catholic’, I am an ‘anglican’ , I am a ‘muslim’. It all doesn’t make sense to me. As a matter of fact, it’s more likely that if you were born in a certain area, you would have a tendency to be of a certain religion. So if you were born in Japan, you would be a Buddhist, if ezem*o happened to be your mother, you would be a traditionalist, if you were born in Miami or Las Vegas, then you would be a secularist.



So, I take on the analogy of a computer: You never hear a computer identify with a specific program and shout out loud: “Oh I am a Web-browser” or “I am a word-processor” or “I am an excel spreadsheet.”


All these programs can be loaded up without any interference to the one that’s currently running. In the same way, religion to me, is like a software. I can load up the software of a Buddhist, I can load up the software of an atheist. I can load up the software of a muslim or go back and load up that of a catholic. I can also install and uninstall different softwares
“What’s my religion?” That question does not make sense to me. Religion is not my identity, religion is not who I am, religion is what I do. Perhaps I am Born-Again, because that’s a lifestyle, that’s the life of the god-nature in you. And all my life, I believe we are all small gods born to a big God since we are his children.
Again, I can wake up and pray from anywhere, whatever Church is near, whatever day feels more convenient. It doesn’t even have to be Sunday, because as most of as know, it was the Sun-god who was worshiped on that day, God should be worshiped on every day.
Time to load up some Buddhism software and do some meditation. When my business fails, I load up the software of an Atheist and I am able to take 100% responsibility. So if you see me in your mosque, don’t judge me!!!
For now, this question won’t make sense to me: “What religion are you?” At least ask me “What religion do you do for a living?” I do paganism, I do Christianity etc Now that makes sense

Sounds a bit like the eclectic approach taken in hinduism. I have been told that have a huge pantheon of gods from which they make personal choices, and it is only the monotheistic religions that reject mix and match.

Some people from monotheistic religions argue that it is all the same god. But what matters is what happens in practice. Their gods are at war. Which would make you a double agent or traitor.

I get ur drift. Jumping from one religion to another is not bad for somebody who do not believe in God like you the op.

Let me think and get back to u

U don't understand religion at all. That's why u talk lyk dat. And are u comparing religion to a computer set? That's totally wrong.

Every program u load on a computer will only work on it "if and only if" it is compartible. U can't load a 64-bit software on a 32-bit system, u won't load windows 8 software on a system dat's windows XP, etc...That's showing u a flaw in ur own example.

The religions don't ve d same root. They don't ve d same beliefs. Not d same holy books. So u can't jst switch btwn them.

Jesus has sent we his followers out to preach d gospel to all. That takes care of the buddhists, d muslims, etc. The ultimate thing I wanna tell u is dat "Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can get to God except tru Christ"
Peace be unto you...

I really want to agree with you but like the op said if I am born somewhere in Iraq the chances that I will be a Christian is very small. I may probably be one of those Isis fighter in Iraq.
Now this is my personal convinction. God gives everybody opportunity to come to him wherever you are whatever religion you may belong to.some people without knowing it have accepted the spirit of Christ and those people not minding the religion behave like Christ.do you know that there are some Muslims that shed tears when they see fellow Muslims killing Christian or the people of other faith( such a muslim is a Christian by nature and would be saved whether he literally confesses Christ or not)
I do not share in the op thought on switching religion. It does not work like that.

yes, a 64bit isnt better than a 34bit, the manufacturer chooses which ever suits him.
No religion is better than the other .all hav its advantages and disadvantages.

A new born child is compartable to every religion depending on his immediate environment.

If d baby's parents are pastors,then he woild be indocctrinated to teaching of christianity. The doctrines of islam would not be compatable to his.

All religion dont have the same root and belief but have the same purpose.all computers have several models but have same purpose.

yea, it depends on what we call christianity. For me christianity means "christ like"

i like d life of jesus christ and i try to emulate his lifestyle.that makes me a christian.

I dont go to church ,fast or tithe.

then you are not a christian sir.

Christianity does not mean what you think it means (neither does it mean what I think it means); it simply means what the Bible says it means.

I do believe you cannot even begin to understand it yet, as you don't even believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible.

The best you can be is to be moral, you cannot be a christian (even if you call yourself one: Rom 9:6)

I hope I didn't sound harsh. Didn't mean to be.

What does the bible say it means?

@ PastorAIO

Christianity is becoming a new man in Christ, not trying to act like a new man by the flesh.

You first must give your life to Christ (Matthew 11:28-30: note that every natural man's life is laden with sin, and he labours under the law).

Then you must receive a new life which Jesus offers (John 10:10: note that that life has overcome sin, and has the law already fulfilled in it)

Then with this new life, you will begin to manifest Christlike nature (2Pet1:4: note that you won't struggle with this - hence Jesu said it is easy)

All you need to do though is to believe the gospel, then the Holy Spirit will function in you to manifest.

OP doesn't yet believe God's word, he therefore could not have experienced the above since the Scriptures cannot be broken(John 10:35)

That's what's wrong abt ur ideology bro. II Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Romans 10:9-10 "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Matthew 6:24  “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
And finally,
Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
If u really wanna knw d truth, meditate on these verses for sometime (not necessarily in d order in which I arranged them). Therein lies d ansa dat will teach u d truth abt christianity.
Shalom...

This is not biblical. Salvation comes by accepting Jesus as Lord and saviour ONLY, not by shedding tears for dead Christians.

Then you are yet to understand the plan of God for us.you can't tell me that good guys from other religion are not going to be saved simply because they refused to worship in the same house or mansion with you.
Christ died for the sins of the whole World. Christ is not only in the church house. The spirit of Christ is everywhere appealing to spirit of men to accept his ways.Like I said earlier God gives everybody the same opportunity to be saved.
It is a wrong thinking to think that others are going to hell simply because they did not accept your religion.christ is beyond the church and religion.

99% of the local NL Jesus community dare to disagree with you. And they come armed with bible verses. We could put that to the test.

If you or they can prove me wrong they should try. I am 100% convinced that God has plans for those who did not confess Jesus as a result of situations beyond their control.
If anyone doubt he should tell me how many Muslims or budist he or she has converted since he or she became Christian.
My personal convinction is that Christ is the saviour of the whole and he can save anybody, anywhere, anytime not minding his religion or race.

Wat makes u think ur God is true and others are false? All u stand for as a Christian are baseless emotional sentiments attached to ur God from childhood
For all it's worth, try Pagan spiritualities, particularly that of ur ethnicity

Every little child is compatible to any religion
when he gets old it becomes difficult to evaluate and decide the authenticity of his religion because he is emotional attached to it

Then you nt a Christian.

Christianity is based on the dogmas of the Bible and absolute allegiance to the church
Being Christ-like comes in when u follow the Bible and the church

U can't take.Christ out of the Bible, after all he exists nowhere else

someone asked , did Jesus read the bible?

Isnt it possible for me to like manchester united as a club yet hate the coach?

Similarly, i can like ancellotti yet hate realmadrid.

Since the club and the coach were not formed the same day.

Jesus existed first before the bible

i am a christian-i read only matthew,mark,luke and john because they talk on the lives of jesus.

Deutronomy focuses on law of the isrealites. I am a nigerian and am bound by the constitution of nigeria.

Paul letters were his own personal intepretation of what he he heard the disciple preach.
Everyone is entitled to his opinion

Ok cool. But jst as u say the Bible is a mere piece of paper coated with ink you should know that Jesus was an ordinary man

Why not dump foreign religion and the worship of dead Jews and embrace Africanism? Embrace ur identity, embrace ur blood, embrace ur soul.
