PAGAN9JA:


God is not the private property of christians.

We fear God but we spit @ christianity. U sabi me?

I love people who fear God. I love you already.

musawal:
A good poser for the educated minds. its just disheartening how Africans (Nigerians) use their education in selective reasoning and crass dogmatism.
Most responders are avoiding the very obvious questions: 1.why did christianity came to Africa at such a late period? (18th century AD)?
2.Why did it have to be when the whites needed slaves to power their industrialization that they came with this religeon?
3. Why is christianity not as entrenched in the middle east where it originated from as it is in Africa?
4. Why was the bible not brought to us directly in the language originally spoken by Jesus, to avoid the so many irregularities contained there-in: such as the real birthday of Jesus Christ; the different stories of the cross; the mysteries surrounding the death of Christ and His last days; too many to mention all.

to add to your list of question.5. why is it that christains are bombing the whole world?.6.why is shekau and mohammed a pastor?.

wise guy!! This is what a lot of the people on here should have said!

My mum once advised dah I shuld'nt contribute my opinion in things dah does'nt concern me and my family unless ofcos tis gonna add some cash to d growing family

Austin234:
Let me quickly add here dat u dont program God. He is God of timing. The time gospel reached Nigeria is d right time for it. It took about 400 years b4 d advent our Lord Jesus b/w d old testament and d new testament. It was d advent Jesus d broke d jinx.

So trying to sterotype God is opposite of d christian religion.

The onus stil lies on our shoulders to stil take d gospel to d heather land as there are many without dis gospel today. It is up to u and me

Shut up u fool! Ur gospel has created enough wahala in the world already u satanic agent from the pit of the underworld. U berra repent and serve the GODS of ur forefathers or else die or get killed in ur own ignorance. Fool!

SEUN SEUN SEUN!!! Y do u always attack christians??every sunday I see a topic on fp trying to damn d bible.I know u aint a christian and u guys have taken this too far!!is christianity the only religion on nairaland??is it because we are peace loving people??can u guys insult islam like thiscan u guys dear mock mohammed or d quran?pls use ur brains!!

U r the most noisemaking and bullshyt religion on Nairaland

frakdon:
pls what do yu guys want to gain in asking such question?

We want to restore Traditional Religion in Nigeria and end the menace of foreign religion here once and for all.

Larow:
na u gangan be d Oponu! Instead of talking about africa as a whole, u mentioned Nigeria! Its right 4 some1 with a functional brain to ask. Now to ur answer! it was a task on the preachers of the gospel den cos they faced a lot of rejection, died as a result of enviromental effects and diseases! Jesus never told us to enforce it on any1 like d devil himself(Mohameed) who will fight and kill to ensure u accept his god! So its only logical! It has to take a very long time! But anyway, long time or not, d fact remains dat it has spread all over d entire world, so how does d time 4 it to reach me concern ur ancestors? That is d more reason we don't progress as blacks! Thinking about useless issues just like dis.

Christianity is dying in the west, has hardly impacted the East but is practiced in full force in underdeveloped Africa. Why is that?

God's way is misery that u can't fathom..........I just urge u guys to watch wat u say so u won't incur the wrath of Holyspirit.

ROSSIKE:
If 'Jesus, the son of God' came to this earth and was born in the middle east in 1 AD, how come it took 2,000 years before this message from ''the son of god'' reached us in Nigeria? And then only when Europeans needed slaves and lands to colonize and loot for raw materials necessary to power their industrial revolution? Are you saying God did not deem it necessary to inform all those millions of Africans that would have lived from 1 AD to 1850 of the glorious kingdom of his son until Europeans decided just a couple hundred years ago they needed to raid Africa and loot resources? Did 'God' really 'postpone' the Nigerian introduction to his 'truth' until such a time as the Europeans needed to conquer and loot our lands, a full 2,000 years down the line, and why?

The ways of this imported 'God' are indeed strange!!

Am gonna tell u why. Because yes, europeans needed workforce for new continent and whats the point of comming and killing that workforce and taking other resources? Its better to come " peacefully" and spread gods word and manipulate masses. There was no reason to do that before because there was no need for workforce before, simply europeans didnt travel so much and discover new lands.

@op it's like your brain is upside-down. Who told you that the gospel of jesus christ arrived Nigeria 2000years ago? We christians only believe and preach that 2000years ago, jesus christ died on the cross. So think before you talk.

wow that's great so glad we remain d most peaceful and life changing religion bro.

OP the intelligent illiterate. Take your Bible and read about the Ethiopian woman

Gospel entered into Africa about 2000 years ago via the Ethiopian woman.

There was NO Nigeria, No Ghana back then. The word NIGERIA was coined some 100years ago, so how would GOSPEL enter into Nigeria?

It is true we have various levels of illiteracy.

OP is truly an illiterate. If Jesus was sent some 2000 years ago, how else do you expect his message to get to your imaginary Nigeria before his birth?

Are you confusing Jesus with Moses? Do you know Moses was given birth to in the land of Egypt? Did Jesus existed before Moses? Is Egypt an European country? We had countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, etc, but we had NO Nigeria.

So many question; too many for your brain to comprehend.


Very soon, you'd also ask why the bible never talked about Ekiti that was created in 1996.

Nope, no fear of God here.

tpia0002:
was there a Nigeria 2000 years ago?

The first man to be found on the face of the earth was from Africa-Ethiopia precisely is where the earliest human remains were found...tens of thousands of years ago.

He talks about Africa generally not just Nigeria.

omoh!....na cwious matter be this ooo abeg make we try reason em wella

Of all men, you're the most ignorant.

There was a geographical space where present day Nigerians had lived for about 700yrs before the emergence of the portugese, then British.

The Benin empire,Nok tribes and Ile'Ife has been in existence-forget the name,black Africans known prsent day as Nigerians has roamed this space for about a thousand yrs.

Vikky014:
lol.lemme helep you to approximate more.Y did it take 2014 years for the gospel of christ to reach Africa

intelligent mind

ROSSIKE:


You don't get it do you? The fact that it took 2,000 years for the gospel to reach Nigeria from the middle east strongly suggests there is no ''God'' involved in the whole christian charade. That's the point being made. I mean, if we can fly to Dubai in under 5 hours today, how come the Creator of the Universe (for whom human technology must be really really puny) couldn't get his message to us from that region for 2,000 years?

It was either

a) because he didn't consider the message important enough to bother (in which case why should we bother?) or

b) he wasn't involved in any of the stories claimed in the bible.

Which is it?

The exact same thing can be said of Islam, which is also from the Middle East!

PAGAN9JA:


Shut up u fool! Ur gospel has created enough wahala in the world already u satanic agent from the pit of the underworld. U berra repent and serve the GODS of ur forefathers or else die or get killed in ur own ignorance. Fool!

Niqqa easy! D dude said his mind, say yours abeg without these strong words. Even tho u dnt fecilitate with his own God, atleast u admit thre is a being out there dah az bn kipin 'US' rite from Jan via Dec.....atleast FEAR dt being! Nawa o

[color=#990000][/color]if you had been reading your bible, you will know that a thousand year is like a day in the presence of God. The fact that it took 2000 years to get to Nigeria did not mean it took dt years to get to Africa. Saint Augustine had preached the gospel of Christ a long time in Carthage in present day Tunisia of something. So brothers and sisters, we should be thankful that the gospel eventually got to Nigeria. And Nigerians are at the frontier of spreading the gospel. The mystery of God cannot be understood by mortals.

Overall, the Bible never promised anyone instant message of Christ. The bible clearly states that the gospel will spread to Judea, Samaria and to other parts of the earth.

Some people still haven't heard about Christ! That's the reason we need more evangelists (people like Reinhard Bonnke, Late Bishop Ajayi Crowther, people like OP, etc) to further spread the message.

If everyone heard the gospel 1 day after the birth of Christ; the world would have ended over 2000years ago.

iamord:
your explanation does not correlate with the said question.. So my fore fathers were all thrown into hell for thousands of years .until it was deemed right to come and open us to the light

the op ask a stupid question, you don't expect the gospel to spread easily ,the devil will do all his best to stop it, the good news is that you and I have hared the gospel.

The book of revelation is clear, yoyr forefathers will be judge base on there good and bad deed or work.
