Sigh: Religion Section Has Turned To Atheists' Section! by Daviddson(m): 9:32am On Nov 12, 2017
I have had this burden on me for at least two weeks now. It's been eating me, literally.
It's sickening to see that whenever one comes into this section, nearly 80% of the topics are about how to mock atheism or prove that we've read widely enough to quote several Christian researchers who either said atheism is this or that. We've left the message of the cross ➕ to constantly engage atheists in endless threads which are serving very little purpose. We are falling for the prey of the devil to think that our major message on this board is how to counter atheists, with different philosophical, intelligent, impressive quotes.
Brethren, we're missing it o.

Why can't we open threads where we can have discussion on how to watch out against subtle sins in our own lives, how to have a godly dating relationship, examine the doctrine of justification, the Rapture, good neighbourliness, how to win over family members who are yet to be saved, how to live peaceably with unbelievers without compromising our faith and whole lot of others?

Why must all of our threads be on atheism when there are "Christians" who are fornicators, secret cult members, adulterers, bribe takers and givers, fighters, etc?

Why can't we open threads to encourage other Christians who are facing tough times and are almost ready to call it quits with God or even take their own life?


Thank you for reading. I'll appreciate your contributions.

Loooooool, well, I don't know what to say

You are right bro

But, like Jesus said, the harvest is plenteous and the labourers are not really finding it easy.

I want to blame it on religion though.

I think most of our Pastors today are not equipped to equip, Paul told Timothy, 2 Tim2:2, the things I have committed unto you, the same commit unto faithful men
.first of all, we hardly see evangelism like its were

secondly, those evangelising often are not preaching Christ, they preach come to my church on Sunday

I will say, the fault is not from NL, but different background, am not saying am better off, I was once one God freak, truth be told, many hope have been shattered. And NL is fuelling it. Paul said, am not ashamed of the gospel, many Christian feel if they are still not holy, they can't preach the gospel, well, they are correct, 1 Corinthians 9:27.

The point is, many Christians are battling with sin and they don't like the guilt that follows, upon that, pastor is not preaching how to use your prayer life and faith confession and believers authority and who they are in Christ to address or profer solutions.

Upon that, the Bible is too good, you hear of healings, raising the dead and signs that shall follow and you are not seeing one, and even when we notice or experience one, our religious pastors are there on their religious pulpit, preaching that the miracles in some churches are staged, and many in the church are like, can we still experience all this miracle, and unfortunately, the guy back then with all his inability to overcome sin, coupled with a sincere and undefeated personal conviction on who God is. Decides to look for answers on platform like this where, when you comment, 15 athiest are attending or twisting your comment. At a point, that white, gets black, until it's dark and an athiest is born

That's a question of syntax and semantics. Christianity is still a religion, in some way, though very different and unique from all other faiths.

Some Christians feel that the modern definition of religion doesn't fit into the message of Christ therfore their stand on choosing not to refer to the Christian faith as a religion. But as you can see, there's a biblical reference to defend otherwise.

A personal relationship with a holy book, a messiah, an institutional building and system. I'd have better luck saying Game of thrones is a reality show.

OP the Christians u are talking about aren't any different from the atheists. Apart from their believe or not in a deity, there's nothing else that separates them.
Most of them fornicate, lust and regularly go through the same things everyday so Christians here have nothing to offer to anyone.
As a matter of fact, those Christians are even men of weaker character than the atheists. You are very likely to see a foulmouthed, lying and cheating Christian here. The only difference is he lays claim to a deity and hold it over other people's head to assuage his guilt and shortcomings: that's the only way their lives have meaning.

This is actually truth - coming from a non religious person like you. Many Christians here are masking their whole life on debating atheists, forgetting that being a Christian theist is not all that is. They're forgetting the "weightier parts of the matter" that if they themselves don't live godly lives they'll still end up in same hell as atheists (I know you don't believe this, but I'll say it nonetheless).

I once heard the respected Christian Apologist Dr Ravi Zacharias who himself is a full time minister travelling around the world debating/preaching to atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, say this same thing. He warned against focusing the whole of our attention on converting atheists while our own personal Christian life needs an attention.

And he himself has diverse preaching focus: apart from his Apologistic work, he preaches on marriage, how to handle suffering, and many others. You see, he's not a oneway traffic man. Pls let's be wise. Let's take back this section from the atheists!

That's a point, but I'll put it this way: they think all that matters is being a THEIST alone. They want to be able to match the atheists on the intellectual plane, without been able to convince or win them over. In fact without having am innate interest to convert them but just to debate them to feel they can also apply reason aside faith. Selah.

The best place to preach is where the sinners are . Since atheists have made religion section their home in attempt to rubbish God it only gave Christians opportunity to shoot sitting ducks

You don't get it, do you? look at the monickers OP copied, asides Godsmopol all others rarely talk about the Christian god, they talk more about some "creator" without claims and doctrines

There's a world of difference between "There should be a god" and "Yahweh is God", the difference is huge and atheists have battered their arguments for the latter and now they only use the former; that seems to be what OP is referring to

If you think saying "There has to be a god" is "preaching Christ" then..........

And another nonreligious gets it!

Dear Nairaland Christians, we can't afford to spend the whole of our time arguing and debating atheists, while leaving out the very Gospel itself. The Gospel has to be preached to church goers too. Fornicators, thieves masturbators, adulterers, porn watchers, need the Gospel too. Let's try to reach out to these sets of people. Many of them now even feel like all that's required of them is to be THEIST while living like the atheists who do not subscribe to any morals.
