nijanigga: See what's happening in Egypt can this ever be in Nigeria? Religion has been used to sapped the Nigerian people's emotion,if churches and mosques are the solutions, Nigeria would have been a great country. When you see "men of God" flying private jets and riding flashy cars,while their congregations live in abject poverty,while promising them prosperity if they give to "God".
Live: Crisis in Egypt.
source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23159066

We Nigerians are more religious than any country in the world, that is the main reason why religion leaders take advantages of us and the society to enrich themselves, unemployment, lack of basic aminities just name it, what is going on in Egypt is an eye open to all Nigerians following the news of social media, Bbc, Cnn etc, religion leaders are the ones killing this country.

all4naija: Religion is a belief by man as a way to reach his creator. Jesus claims, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes unto the father except through me". So, there is no much difference between Christianty and religion, which both are ways to reach a God.
The topic should be between Christianity and religion, not Jesus Christ as a leader.

He said he is the WAY not the creator(how can that be believing in yourself?), he claimed he is the TRUTH not for the truth, and he said he is the LIFE while he died like evry other human being and hasn't been seen for long.

It is a fairy tale like every other religion, my friend.

How is Christianity now believing in oneself? When and where did Jesus Christ claimed to believe in himself? ...No man comes unto the FATHER except through ME.

Logically you are right but fundamentally you are not. 1 and 1 could equal 2 or 1 still, it depend on the operator used.

You are very gullible, my friend.When has Christianity become a word? I would be very interested in what this word is all about. The book proved he was killed, resurrect and went to heaven. More like a child fairy tale.

All Christians are brainwashed and keep waiting for what will not happen. It is a shame some modern people still reason that way.

Lovely piece, I enjoyed every line of it.

This reminds me of Kumuyi's son's wedding, while there is nothing wrong with wearing a WEDDING GOWN or MAKE-UP, it became a scandal as they have prevented others from wearing them. RELIGION, they just pile up unnecessary laws to make people see themselves as holy.

Luke 11:46 is right on point.

@ Op, you have blessed me with the Word of God, may God increase you in wisdom, knowledge and grace in Jesus name, Amen.

The point is that Jesus Christ didn't institute/endorse any religion before the He died.
Re: Religion Vs Jesus Christ - Important by thorpido(m): 6:11pm On Jul 03, 2013
all4naija: Christians being Christ-likes are just follower of a religion for the fact that they communicate with God. The other way round just the same way other communicate with fairy tale or legend.

So, it is a religion. If it is not a religion what is it?
you don't understand but maybe someday u will.Jesus didn't bring religion but brought what no religion could bring.He brought 'eternal life'...Zoe!No religion offers eternal life.

Father is the GOD the father, there is a triunion being called GODHEAD who self exist in trinity in the universe. The 3rd person therein is Holy Spirit. This 3rd person in one (triunion being) has the following nature that makes them unique from the rest of self-conscious life: each of them is omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent and eternal. These unique feature is called deity nature. God the son is Jesus Christ who was refering to God the father as 'father' not in the way of earthly father.
The easiest way to understand this is to take time to study satan aka devil. It is easier to find devil than to do GOD. As soon as you discover the truth about the devil, you shall see it will be easy to understand GOD. In simple logic once there darkness there must light also once there is fake there must be original. Shalom

There is ONLY ONE GOD who is the ancient of days, and there is ONE MESSIAH his SON Jesus Christ and there is ONE SPIRIT , the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

God is not 3 , God is ONE and he is YAHWEH, the ONE and ONLY , UNEQUALLED, MIGHTY AND GRACIOUS CREATOR.

omaigala: Shout out to all those callous sanctimonious, holier than thou, sinless bigots.

Listen; Human beings are God's treasures, if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

Quit judging and help people, that's the essence of being on earth.

After all, there was no indication that the good samaritan was a christian. At least the bible didn't say that. But he was applauded by Christ for a singular act of lending a helping hand.

You just can't be a xtian and give preferential treatment to some people and leave others.

You can't be a christian and not help a fellow. E.g our G.Os toward OJB and others in need.

You can't be a xtian and not give people food from ur heart.

Original christians don't look down on anyone except they want to help them up.
This wonderful post of yours remind me of a particular Man of God who was hell-bent on nt rendering help to his sister because she belong to another religion.

Many good points in this write up. Good lessons to learn. This is what I call teaching and not the mudslinging of churches and insulting of pastors by frosbel. Pure teaching that leaves the reader to judge himself where he belongs and make amends where neccessary. And as we can see, the response so far from nairanders is devoid of the usual insults and war of words.

if you call exposing frauds as insulting, you may have a point.

For example those pastors who bear the title reverend, I wonder who gave them the authority to be revered when the bible emphatically states that the greatest among us should be the least.
