It's neither fear of Satan nor love of God that drives people to church but the desire for materialism. For some the desire for materialism makes them susceptible to manipulate, and be manipulated by, others using fear of devil or the love for God. Case in point, check out some of the prophecies by "men of God" for 2016. |

TheAgba: Yea the 21st century, i dont expect you to have clothes on...after all thats so 0.1 century. |

Speechless3: Please , civilization explains it all. In your 0.1 century , there were clothes but not everywhere especially uncivilized areas like Africa. Westernization which also was a factor of civilization brought us here with clothes . I'm on clothes and that's very of this century. ....at least this isn't abstract . As man evolves so does his society . |

TheAgba: People covered themselves up everywhere from the day Adam was chased out of the garden. Just because they showed you pictures of few africans unclothed scattered here and there does not mean they went about naked. Almost all, if not all had clothes on most of the time. Evolution doesn't make one sense to me, so you can continue flying to space with that one. I pefer the much more intelligent explanation of this universe. So. Serving God will never go out of fashion here: maybe you should try another planet. |

MizyB: Isn't it like living happily ever after in the fairy tales? And where and when has that ever happened? Name one human being who has ever been saved from his/ sinful Nature into Righteousness (whatever that means) and holiness of god ( which god ?) And fellowshiped with god ( whatever that means) ? 2 Likes |

plaetton:Actually its much more perfect than a fairytale. I am an example of such Human being The God of heaven and earth the Bible said 'follow peace with all men and holiness, without with no man shall see God(thats what i mean) the Bible also made me understand that after this earth passes away, the temple of God will dwell among us forever. |

TheAgba: dear brother, My Observation: even if i begin to give answers to all these questions, because of the thirst in you, youll still find Ten or Three faults. My advice: i know this wont make sense to you, but if u truly desire knowledge, Seek salvation today, Let the Holyspirit come into your life, he'll satisfy every yearn within U. |

Speechless3:I won't even talk about the Adam and Eve story . Clothing has existed for hundreds of years B.C.E. But you think that the society simply just evolved at once to start wearing clothes ? Clothing itself is evolutional . It's not about some Africans not being on clothes . They got the clothing civilization in not too distant past and I dont mean they in no way had skimpy coverings on themselves . And this tells that before those skimpy coverings, were unclothedness. I won't be surprised if you think or believe humans just exist at a particular age without the normal due process of reproduction and growth . Good morning miss...hope you're cool ? |

MizyB: Observation : Salvation is psychological. It's just a way of telling your brain , be cool . The Holy Spirit ...#lips-sealed Advice : Those feelings you get , people from other religions get them too . It's psychological , so claim no veracious spiri-spiri thing here. Good morning... Hope your day has been wonderful ?: |

TheAgba, your logic is too weak to wrap your head around this. Going by this way, you'll only succeed in confirming your assertions about the fallacy of a God, never finding answers to your questions. Your wisdom and every other person's sadly is insufficient to explain God, who he is and how he works except you surrender yourself(you don't have anything to lose if you do). Forget everything, give it a try, just believe, don't ask questions even when you're extremely tempted to. Surrender yourself and hope for his enlightenment, for your wisdom is only inadequate. Accept Jesus as your lord and saviour today pleeeaaaase. |

MizyB: Why didn't Jesus save the over 90 million people murdered in north America when the beasts from central Asia via Europe invaded? Why didn't Jesus save black people from the transatlantic slave trade, being murdered, tortured and raped by whites? |

We live in an information age where information can be gathered literally in seconds yet black people choose to continue praying to a sky daddy and his zombie son. This is not due to any love or respect this is done out fear of eternal hell and damnation. Black people continue to be Christians though the white man is no longer is beating them, dragging them to their deaths, feeding their babies to dogs, shitting in their mouths, tarring and feathering them, raping their mothers, sisters, wives or mothers, aunts, daughters, mothers, son, brothers, grandmas, uncles or grandpas in front of them. So then, black people continue this delusion of Christianity because they lack any kind of self respect or knowledge of self. 1 Like |

You idiot, Africans went unclothed simply because they could. Their skin color provided them ample protection from the elements, unlike the unnatural, genetically defective, pink skin which required protection. It was whites who convinced blacks that they needed to cover up. Even Egypt blacks went partially unclothed. In the Americas, where blacks resided prior to slavery, they went unclothed because black skin had a function. It was protective. Google is your friend. There is no need for blacks to continue to live in darkness and ignorance praying to some white spook. |

NamieNamie:Jesus saved them. He died for the sins of the whole world. If anyone of them believed, it's even better that they had eternal life. |
