Happy Sunday to y'all!

This question has always been popping in my mind for long. Whenever I visit churches around Nigeria I'm forced to wonder if this was what our Lord Jesus Christ had commanded us to go into the world to do.

Cover your hair, some say do not cover your hair! Women should wear trousers to church, some say come as you are. Some bow down to images and pray in ways different from others. The list goes on and on.

Our GOD is not a God of confusion!

Whats your take?

it is d struggle for supremacy in d churches .some take church as a business set up thereby going extra mile to poison d minds of ungrounded christain against others .this is one reason i dnt support anybody clamouring for freedom until we go back to d drawing board nd get it right because if we re to be given d freedom something more disastorous dan bokoharam might befall us in d form of inter religion conflict

They have sects that don't agree with each other and one always dominate the others. That's the major cause of the war in the Middle East.

Denomination means a religious grouping withing a faith that has its own system of organization. CREED means a set of religion believe. Pls stop deceiving christains with false claim knowledge.

That's what happens when a cook-up story is not from one source, merging ancient Jewish culture and ancient Roman one. The bible is a collections of books containing myths of different cultures and backgrounds which was written and rewritten by anonymous authors with no originals. How do you expect people relying on such book to not get confused and disunited.

Why don't you tell us how it is a myth.

Atheists too don't agree on the same things, so why should they be taking with seriousness?

The Sunday Religion Front page topics are usually different from the Fridays. I don't really know why. Seun surely know.

Topics creating unhealthy relationships. The why can never correct if it is not accompanied by the 'how' to correct. And what we have here in large numbers is usually focusing on the problem and not the solutions.

Why not promote a topic like: How can Christian unity be established among churches? Not necessarily verbatim but in the message they convey. Or can we promote the Religion by focusing on the problem?

It is a myth because those claims don't conform with reality. Those claims violates the law of nature.


Your own question.
If you are presented with two stories, let's say, a claim that turtle had sex with an elephant and a claim that an alien kidnapped a woman in a farm, how do you distinguished between facts and fantasy?

The Quran has the answer to why christaians are not united. Quran 5 verse 14, says We took the convenant of those who say, we are christains but they have abandoned a good portion of what they were exhorted with. So We have kindled enmity and hatred between them till the day of Resurrection. Allah wil soon inform them of all their machination.

Which Allah are you talking about? The one that told you to bomb people and kill the infidels?

I wonder why Muslims can comment on Christian threads and Christians cannot?

This is because bible it self have different versions. So what do you expect from the follower? grin cheesy wink wink

Mumu tell me Quran has only one version

Tell me the Muslim are more united all in the name of praying at the same time

Tell me that religion that encourage jihad which is regarded to as "holy war" is a religion of peace whereas the religion that encourage meekness is the divided religion— Jesus said when they slap your right cheek, turn the other (a parable).

Tell me you don't have the sense to understand that throughout the life of of Jesus, He mostly talk in parables— he noted that he has not come to bring peace to the world— do the Muslims finish the chapter to understand what he was talking about!

And tell me that the religion that is govern by a book written by a man called Mohammed (who claim he saw vision from his so called god) is the true religion

Have you never thought about the fact that Mohammed just coined the Quran for you to contradict what the Bible has said, or on which stand do you ague that the Bible is corrupted or do I need to ask you that: have you discover any other bible apart from the one the Christians are using

Don't you have to submit to the fact that the bible which you guys refer to as the 3 preceding book revealed to Abraham, David and Jesus is the undiluted word of God

To those that said the Bible is contradictory, try check your Quran itself that said you should still refer to the bible when faced with difficulty in understanding the Quran— Ref: Pickthall Quran, chapter 10 verse94

If Bokoharam insurgents were Christians,they won't have lasted for more than two months as they would have since betrayed both themselves and their sponsors for the love of money and property acquisiton.The unity in Islam is the reason behind their sustenance.Until someone tell me in a very simple direct and clear explanation why Tithe collection is more important to a 21st century pastor than his progenitors who rejected and considered this practice as sin,I will continue to evaluate this unsolved mystery behind this thiefry to see if I can eventually unravel it.It is even more astonishing that Apostle Paul was given inspiration by God to teach christians how to give in their own way very different from that observable in a religion that even murdered them in their millions,but pastors will invent all forms of human and not biblical christians defence to skew issues and make this act look saintly and at the same time making jesus and the early christians that rejected it look like idiots .The disunity amongst christians has a lot to do with money and property acquisition.Christians leaders today choose to disobey christ by laying collosal treasures on earth against his advise that they should rather lay their treasures in Heaven.

Your own question.
If you are presented with two stories, let's say, a claim that turtle had sex with an elephant and a claim that an alien kidnapped a woman in a farm, how do you distinguished between facts and fantasy?

So what is reality? How in your own limited understanding do you know what reality is?

Have you gone ound the world and done a questionnaire to all the living to find out if they have found a way to violate the law of nature using the supernatural? No you havent, cause all you do is sit at one place and make assumptions.

For the second question: Something becomes fact when you can prove it.
How do we know if the alien kidnapping was real or not? How do you know if aliens exist or not? You can't prove aliens don't exist, why? Because of insufficient info or knowledge In Regards to that. Therefore you can't even say aliens are a myth.

My point: You don't call something a myth because you've not experience it urself. You first have to prove that other ppls experiences are not real before you jump to conclusions.

Really man? atleast Christians all agreed that killing and terrorism is bad. islam on the other hand, we have terrorists who claim they would kill in the name of Allah and some muslims don't believe that. Religion has been diluted by cultures, practices and individual beliefs so don't blame the bible, ask people who read it if you can't read it. The holy bible is far from being confusing.

No offense to my Muslim fellow citizens...but Islam does have its sects...the two main ones being Shia and Sunni....and a minor sect...the Sufis. There are also a host of other minor sects....and some heretical sects that are not Islam...but based on Islam. And yes...there are differences (Sunnis and Shias pray slightly differently for example).

Nice observation indeed, there are sect because Allah said there will be sect and his word shall come to pass but he said we shud not b divided I.e discouraging sect. But the bottom line is the primary believe and practice are d same. Same Prayer time, any mosque , same book and whatever u may think of. Its only that they have additional blive

when I said 'attaching', I dont mean Inclusion, inclusion is a healthy political strategy where you check and balance your administration by employing people from various interests.

Attaching as I used it, is when you constitutionalize the tenets of a particular religion, e.g muslim brotherhood of Egypt.
