Act 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Act 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
.

Neither is there salvation in any other name given among men, whereby one can
be saved: but in that Name, which was GIVEN unto Jesus; AND, BY GOD.

And for the Christianity that continues striving to dribble from all such excuses as
that of "Behold, we know it not;" to that which has thee say, "Go in peace, be warmed and
filled;" to that which has thee preparing to offer the sacrifice with which thou
would be pacification (are you even yet bent on having it offered for but a decade; or have
you decided, even, that you're ready to have it offered for another two thousand years?) rather
than to do judgment and justice, I would like to remind thee: Be it in the secular, or
in the spiritual; the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.
And the most oppressed in the land (regardless of the extent to which his right has been
violently taken away) can always reach out to "The High Court," appeal to "The Appeal
Court," AND - in that case where neither the one nor the other was righteous enough
to vindicate him - cry out unto "The Supreme Court": Avenge me of mine adversary.

Therefore, O Christian: You may continue striving to hide under the high official that is Jesus. It is that
same Jesus who accuses you, on whom you set your hope.

To all mine, which is The Pride of Machismo Renaissance (wherein is the faith of
Masculinism) I repeat those words which are to be that of they that hold the testimony of Jesus - if
they do truly and indeed hold it:

Worship GOD.

are you saying in those days the problem they had never got solved?

We are on a pilgrimage and HE came to show us the way because HE is the Way. Every and any other things we encounter (problems, challenges, etc) are just along the route. We have to focus on reaching our destination via the WAY. And to overcome/ solve those problems/ challenges, ensure first you are on the WAY, the aply HIS solutions as given already in HIS Word

macof:


Yet nations were better off before christianity
Nubia, Egypt, Rome etc.
Explain to us how the solutions never came before ur Jesus?

We have the freedom of choice. You can chose to follow HIM as the WAY or continue struggling to find out how the Nubian, Egyptians, Roman fared in their way. You may decide to give HIM a chance or "trial" or not. the choice is yours.

My only explanation on how/ as to why the solutions never came before OUR LORD JESUS (i'm so happy you referred to HIM as my JESUS but then HE is much more than us all) is by HIS Word which it seems you don't believe.

There have never been a time Christianity has not be known. It has been from the foundation of the world. Every other god came thereafter. In the old and now people still worship these gods but Christianity still standout. In solving problems God Almighty is the best solution because He made everything.

Isaiah 31:1

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

Christians just like Muslims rarely do research but just parrot what they were told. Ask any of them about who wrote the New Testament and all you hear is platitudes and gibberish.

Very wrong! Christianity as a religion came after Christ when the followers of Christ first started being called Christians in Antioch. What came before was Judaism which, incidentally, is still very much alive today.

Even though I was raised Catholic, it pains me to hear brainwashed Nigerians just state that some of our traditional practices are evil. Blacks are the only group of people stupid enough to worship a deity that doesn't even look like them. And many people will blame the stagnation of Nigeria on "ancestral powers", when these pimped out Pentecostal churches have done more harm than good.

You do know that religion and specifically Christianity has been the cause of many many wars over time right? Maybe not in recent times, but in times past. Still applies to Islam in recent times though with the violence metted out by Islamic extremists.

dey are solving problem in a wrong way.
D sacrifices they demand for are full of evil, eg human being blood, goat blood, killing of twins and so on. dey are demonic bro. And evil.

If sacrifice is evil why does your supposed salvation depend on the human sacrifice of 'Jesus' to your bible 'God'? Why could your god not forgive humanity their sins without requiring human sacrifice? What is the difference between your god and the other gods you claim are 'demonic', since presumably, they all demand blood sacrifice?

Don't bother answering - save your excuses... and your double standards.

You're the epitome of ignorance. Better get your head out of your ars.e and go study the history of your religion. Then you will discover it was actually among the most recent faiths invented.

There is no evidence that there was a 'Christ'. There were no contemporary witnesses or eyewitness accounts of this personality. The new testament was written around 70 AD by people who claimed a man named Jesus had lived 70 years earlier.

Excerpt from : no meek messiah.
It is 391 CE now as Roman Emperor
Theodosius elevates Jesus (posthumously)
to divinity, declaring Christianity the only
"legitimate" religion of the world, under
penalty of death. The ancient myth is
rendered law. This decision by Theodosius is
possibly the worst ever made in human
history: what followed were century after
century of torture and murder in the name
of this false, faked, folkloric "prophesied
savior" of fictional virgin mother. Within a
year after the decree by Theodosius, crazed
Christian monks of Nitria destroy the
majestic Alexandrian Library largely
because philosophy and science are taught
there—not the Bible. In Alexandria these
are times of the highest of intellectual
pursuits, all quashed by superstitious and
ignorant Christians of the most godly and
murderous variety: they had the "Holy
Bible" on their side.
Emperor Theodosius I could have had no
idea how much harm this blunder would
cause humanity over the centuries that
followed. Christianity was made the only
legal cult of the empire, and for the next
1500 years, good Christians would murder
all non-Christians they could find by the
tens of millions.
