nope.i was a christian by virtue of being born into a christian family.stepping out of my comfort zone as an unbeliever?we are all unbelievers of something.you just believe one thing more than i do.You discovered jesus because he was the most popular god idea around where you were raised.Someone in india or afghanistan would have discovered other gods apart from jesus.I am not holding the koran as oppostition to your claims.I am just showing you how people can make the same claims with their holy books.Only jesus can save?yeah, only he can save because only him and his book tells us to tell children that they are bad from birth so that he dosent roast them forever.Its like me creating a computer virus,forcing you to pay for it then, getting rid of it to look like a hero.I dont think i need to try Jesus.If there is a universal god, let him come down and give evidence maybe during the world cup, ucl final or olympics.let him tell the muslims to stop slaughtering us.let him tell christians to stop discriminating because they have lost power to kill us.Let god prove himself!

No, you were not a christian. you never followed Christ, and you were never born again. You never had your sins forgiven and you never repented. A non-christian is regarded as an unbeliever. An unbeliever in God and in His Word. That is my definition, so in my definition, you are an unbeliever. i did not discover Jesus because he was the most popular god idea around, in that case, everyone would be christians because Jesus is the most popular god idea around. i guess atheism is the most popular idea around you too, or it does not apply? i have christian friends in india, come to think of it. Knowing Jesus is not necessarily about popular ideas around you. Nobody can make the same claims that Jesus Christ and christianity makes. Like i showed you, true muslins cannot claim to be saved, they simply do not know. No religion or god has come to earth as a man, died and resurrected. None offers forgiveness of sin like Jesus. All their followers are forever trying to appease them, and are never free from sin and its guilt. God has proven Himself already, we are still waiting for proof of evolution.

You are not in a position to say if I'm a Christian or not just as you cannot tell a catholic he's not a Christian.You discovered Jesus because he's the one that they drummed into your ears everyday.you have Indian Christians? Well, we have asari as a Muslim in Christian ijaw land.Do NOT say Muslims are not saved because they worry for you as being in need of a saviour.Jesus isn't the only person in history to have claimed divine origin so late him prove this by appearing at the UCL final.When you say God,you do not speak of only the Christian one but of all of them even those older than the bible god.The fact that you don't wanna accept evolution doesn't mean you should claim one out of a million gods created us without evidence.Your fellow Christians are busy supporting evolution on the Noah's ark thread saying Noah took only one kind of bear and polar and grizzly bears evolved from one in just a few thousand years.

You claimed that animals know that there is a creator and you want me to prove your point for you. . .I never made any claim about animals. . .
Gates was interviewed November 1995 on PBS by David Frost. Below is the transcript .

Frost: Do you believe in the Sermon on the Mount?

Gates: I don't. I'm not somebody who goes to church on a regular basis. The specific elements of Christianity are not something I'm a huge believer in. There's a lot of merit in the moral aspects of religion. I think it can have a very very positive impact.

Frost: I sometimes say to people, do you believe there is a god, or do you know there is a god? And, you'd say you don't know?

Gates: In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not, but I think religious principles are quite valid.

For Buffet here is a quote from. . .from Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist

“He did not subscribe to his family’s religion. Even at a young age he was too mathematical, too logical, to make the leap of faith. He adopted his father’s ethical underpinnings, but not his belief in an unseen divinity.” . . . .

Are you so deluded that you could see a claim by Buffet or Gates that God does not exist? You saw that in the quote? You need to be serious.

You were never a christian. Jesus was drummed into your ears perhaps, hy did you not discover Him? Why did my indian friends discover Him? You do not know much about islam, beat it. Jesus does not need to prove Himself, when you are tired of the load of your sins, He'd be waiting for you.

Hahahahahahaha...I repeat, you cannot tell me If I was a Christian or not.The reason your Indian friends discovered him is the same reason why asari dokubo discovered Islam.I put it to you that You don't know jack shiit about Islam too.Jesus needs to prove himself the same way the Muslim must prove why I should believe in books written by cave dwelling goat herders.

Your Bible started off as oral tradition

Religion and spirituality is based on mythology

Mythology is simply symbolism and allegorical

There are characteristics f christians mr, you were never one. You implied that i could not have believed in God, that i only believe in God because i'm in nigeria where they tlk about Him. That is the reason i showed you the unreasonableness of your logic byt talking of christians in India. i'm not you, you goofed on your knowledge of islam on this thread, i didn't. You better believe in God, He'll forgive your sins and guilts before they ruin you.

No. God is for all, the issue is humans only do wat they understand

In the olden days when the world was all pagan, Our ancestors were philosophers who observed the universe and concluded on certain concepts
But as Human understanding is limited, some other civilization is liable to have a different understanding of the universe

That's why you have All kinds of Paganic spirituality which gave birth to Religion

Shut up nigga! Unfortunately, Christians don't know who a Christian is and so, we have 33,000 sects of Christianity.So anyone who thumps a bible about is basically a christian.I said you believe in the Christian god because he was drummed into your head and you lived in the predominantly Christian south of Nigeria.I have told you that you have Indian Christians the way you have ijaw Muslims (asari dokubo. Show me where I goofed about Islam (quote me).Let me tell you something you don't know.The Koran is mostly based on the old testament and any scathing attack on the OT affects both religions.This is why the church couldn't stop Islam because if they had questioned It,people would see through their own bullshit.Give my life to God? Which one? Horus, Krishna, allah, vishnu, Jesus? If its Jesus, sorry I don't give my life to dead Jewish men that probably didn't exist.

Abraham
Elijah
