with all the pretense in the world, only God knows who His true followers are... the people that satisfy your criteria turn out to be hermuts, bad communicators, bad leaders and ultimately win less souls because they practice christian apartheid. poster repent first... then lecture others about leaving good lives not setting criteria for God who sees everyone's hearts and truly knows his own. 1 Like |

dumodust:Funny. Christian apartheid? never heard of it. About the post. There are too many people living good lives already and if its about morality Christ death was a waste then. God knows His own but have we forgotten God uses men, warning, trouble (means) to draw men to Himself. |

MuttleyLaff:I'm someone that hates sitting on the fence, being average, neither here nor there and sadly that's what's 70% of Christians are today, neither hot nor cold .
Can a Christian become an atheist is the thread you should check.
Well I think it's a lot better. |

MuttleyLaff:Stop acting smart when you are not!!! An average black American is proud to wear the niggar tag. why are you missing things up. I am not a niggar so why should any body call me that And why should I pick offense if one ignorant person call what I am not stop being cleaver by half. in fact, stop trying to be smart because you are not. |

Awoo88:I'll tell you who really is mixing things up Very often, people confuse "niggar" with "nigger" I have all along been asking you about the latter and not the former Are you a nigger? Do you address yourself as a nigger? Do you answer back when being called a nigger? Why dont you cheerfully appreciate being called a nigger? Awoo88:You dont have to pick offense if one ignorant person called you nigger I am glad, you know, you arent a nigger and so will shrug it off and just walk away The point however is, you wont necessarily be pleased that the ignorant person called you nigger and undoubtedly wont be happy that an ignorant person treats you like a nigger |

the reason is simple, Christianity is a scam, how can you tell us that someone was in a fish for 3 days, a virgin gave birth and all ya lies, we have 4,200 religions in the world, stop telling us shit about your fuckry religion, I'll rather be an habbalist than to go back to your unorganized religion... In only Christan we have CnS, deper life, Celestia, redeem, SCOAN, mountain of fire, and so on, this is a fucking white man religion, they brainwashed africa and rubish our very own religion, they told us oduduwa came to this world with Jain, Christian will tell you na lie, is not possible, na juju, something you can see o, at your backyard. But Oyinbo told us that a virgin gave birth, you carry ham for head.... CHRISTIANITY IS A SCAM!!!! |

CAPSLOCKED:bro.. I was seeing it that way till I met a lecturer in my University days, he was and still is the most senior lecturer in my department in the person of Prof. T.C Chineke ( department of physics, Imo state university) when u encounter him, u will know that christ is really in people, if u are in south east and u are still having doubts about genuine christians, take a trip to Imo state university and ask for prof. T.C Chineke in the above said department. If u can have a chat with him for just 30 minutes, U will see what christian life is all about.. Just try.. And the same goes to any other person that is willing to clear dis doubts.. |

Greyman11: YOU KNOW MY PROBLEM WITH ALL OF YOU? YOU THOROUGHLY BELIEVE THAT WITH "CHRIST" YOU HAVE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT. WHAT IF YOU WERE BORN TO A FULANI FAMILY IN SOKOTO? OR A HINDU FAMILY IN NEPAL? OR A JEWISH FAMILY IN JERUSALEM? OR A HARE KRISHNA WORSHIPPING FAMILY IN INDIA? OR TO THE VIKINGS OF ICELAND? YOU'D HAVE NEVER BEEN A CHRISTIAN. I'M SORRY BUT YOUR "CHRIST" IS NOT THE ULTIMATE, AND YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE OF YOUR FAMILY. I'M SURE YOUR GREAT GRAND FATHERS'S GREAT GRAND FATHER AND HIS SIBLINGS WERE AMONG THE SLAVES WHO WERE CHAINED AND WHIPPED BY THE MISSIONARIES FROM SPAIN AND BRITAIN, AND FORCED TO ACCEPT JESUS. A LOT OF THEM WERE KILLED IN THAT PROCESS, SOME WERE BURNT AT THE STAKES FOR BEING WITCHES OR BECAUSE THEY REJECTED CHRISTIANITY. MEANWHILE.. THOSE WHITE MISSIONARIES SMUGGLED ALL THE GOLD AND PRECIOUS MATERIALS AND COMPENSATED THE BLACK MEN WITH BIBLES, "THE WORD OF GOD", AND WHISKEY. AND I MUST ADD.... ALL YOUR PASTORS AND GENERAL OVERSEERS ARE ATHEISTS. THE CHURCH IS ONLY THEIR BUSINESS CENTERS. BYE. 3 Likes 4 Shares |

MuttleyLaff: why are u making it sound like being called a christian is a bad thing, christ doesnt call us christians, agreed; we are called christians in the world to diffentiate us from other religion that is how it started in antioch, or dont u think the people of antioch wanted to identify the followers of christ? whether it's a form of mockery or jest, it has come to stay cos we dont see it as that. |

desreek9:I am sorry, if it comes across as calling a spade a spade You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig The reality is, being called Christi-anos or Christian, from day one of the invention of the word, is a bad thing. By default and custom, the disciples never wrote any letter addressing or calling each other, using the Christi-anos or Christian epithet if you find any place in the bible, where they addressed themselves or called each other by the Christi-anos or Christian word, bring it to my notice. Please, in your findings, exclude afterthought bible versions or translations The word Christi-anos or Christian is not a complimentary epithet, similarly like the infamous word, nigger, isnt. desreek9:Agreeing that Christ didn't or doesnt call us Christi-anos or Christian is a good start but dont you wonder why God/Christ didn't or doesnt call us Christians? Dont you ever wonder why, if the christian term is so palatable or that acceptable, why neither Paul, Peter, any of the other Apostles, disciples, etcetera ever addressed themselves or called each other by the Christi-anos or Christian word? desreek9:The word Christi-anos or Christian, is legacy nickname for the disciples, invented by the residents of Antioch Tacitus was a senator and a historian of the Roman Empire, who once wrote: ''Those who were vulgarly known by the name of Christians'' desreek9:Disciples are followers and/or learners but not all followers of Christ are disciples or learners Just as Jesus in the Bible days, had some many followers, so today and now, we have so many people follow Jesus People follow Jesus about for some many different and/or diverse reasons It is no different today, to the Bible days, where not all followers of Jesus, were disciples or learners. desreek9:When did it come to stay? Who, has it come to stay with? Can I the three occurrences where Christi-anos or Christian is explicitly mentioned in the Bible and the etymology of the word? Also did the early believers or Apostles explicitly called themselves Christians? desreek9:Certain truths, can only be clearly seen or understood with the wisdom of age and grace of God In youth we learn, in age we understand First go learn the meaning of what the people of Antioch and King Agrippa were implying when they used the Christi-anos or Christian and then speak. desreek9:The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch By who? By God? No. By Jesus or by the disciples themselves? No, no, no Who then by? By the people at Antioch, it was men and women, the people at Antioch famous for coining nicknames who said who they thought the Jesus Christ and the disciples were That piece of information about its man, would lead you to what's going on here with the use of the word Christi-anos or Christian Jesus asked the disciples: ''Who do people say I am?'' After the disciples gave all manner of answers, He zeroed in. ''But what about you?'' He asked. ''Who do you say I am?'' Here is me, taking a leaf from Jesus, and now too, asking, not what do people call you, not what others say you are, not whether they call you a Christian or not but am asking: desreek9, who do you say, you are? |
