What if xtianity was a sham? Then I would be very grateful to whosoever brought it about for making me learn and acquire so wonderful attributes and knowledge which a great many pple and nations have used to their advantage. I also would surely like to meet who it was that wrote the bible and find out how he came about such a repertoir of knowledge and wisdom. So nothing lost really. But then what if XTIANITY IS NOT A SHAM? Then wot a serious problem you have put urself into. Because all the things you have said and blasphemed against God will testify against you on the judgement day. And O, what a weeping and wailing as the lost (which would include you) are told of their fate. O, you'll cry for the rocks and the mountains (to hide you), you will pray for forgiveness but your prayer will be too late. So why wait and gamble with your life when you can get the best of both worlds- salvation plus its attendant benefits on earth, and eternity in heaven only thru JESUS. Nothing to lose but everything to gain! Dont join the unfortunate who would rather wait to find out the error of their ways, for then it will be too late. So I invite you to receive Jesus into your life today and let the 'what if' take care of itself. God bless you |

I wonder which cave he hid in when we had our geography lesson on facing the East thanks to telly b and a truthful muslim  Nyabinghi think about this,I worship Jesus but wouldn't kill to please him. You claim you don't worship Mohammed but will carry out an instant jihad when he ,a mere womanising,pedophilic deceased mortal is dissed. A man who was unsure what allah would do to him Now of the 2 of us,who is the foolish one? |

I miss shahan. @ topic. Wishful thinking. Long and fine-sounding arguments are only what they are : long and fine-sounding, and unfortunately do not change the facts. However, it's ok - Foolhardiniess is nothing new to God. In fact, as God has given each person the power of free-will, foolhardiness cannot be avoided. I can only but feel sorry for those deluded by their own "knowledge" and "wisdom". The same kind of sorry I would feel for a drunk man doing 160mph, whilst arguing that he is not drunk. |

@Topic Nice one.There are times when i've asked myself this question repeatedly.I do believe there is a God that created the universe.I do believe in Jesus Christ and the new testament. What i don't believe in are churches of nowadays e.g (1)Roman Catholicism is a sham (a scam in fact).Same with other related churches (Anglicans,Vincentians and so on).These are churches that tailored Christianity to suit Roman requirements.Most of their practices are completed diverse from Christianity.I've never heard of the Pope,Cardinals and any other "highly esteemed leaders" being mentioned in the bible.How about rosaries?Where did those come from?Jesus never mentioned anything about rosaries.Neither did Moses or Elijah.How about prayers to Virgin Mary and other "Saints"?Let me leave it here.He who has brains, let him think. (2)New world churches (protestants) of these days are shams.Most of them are money making organizations.You hardly hear them preaching true gospel anymore.What you see now is "progress teachings" , "laying of hands", "miracle nights" and "prophesies".Concerning their miracles, i wonder why it has to be a fan fare.Jesus walked through the streets and healed the lames,blind,dumb,paralyzed etc. That is how you know real miracles and not all those scams they pull on TV. Nuff said. |

To me Christianity and its off-shoot (Islam) is a sham, it is the greatest deceit foisted on mankind and those that foisted it have left it for us (third world countries) to expend our energies on while they expend their time and energies on greater quests in life. The two religions were used as vehicle of conquest, colonization and exploitation of weaker societies. It there is anything like karma, i hope it will catch up on the Romans that designed and imposed Christianity and the Arabs that imposed and brought Islam. |
| Re: What If Christianity Was A Sham? by olabowale(m): 1:09am On Oct 23, 2009 |
karma, a hindu idea. at least not a chrsitian idea. karma or no karma, you are a disbeliever and Islam is bound to be victorious. |
| Re: What If Christianity Was A Sham? by wirinet(m): 9:20am On Oct 23, 2009 |
olabowale: Mr Olabowale, The word Karma was an eastern idea - both Hinduism and Buddhism, but the concept is a universal concept. It was incorporated into Christianity (although it was not called Karma), but the new testament contains the verse " You shall reap what you sow". That is Karma. Besides Christianity was formulated from a fusion of Roman Pagan beliefs, Judaism and a some middle eastern and far eastern doctrines. Meanwhile Islam is just Plagiarism of Christianity, it was an opposition to Christianity, to stop the Europeans from conquering and colonizing the middle east. Their holy book the Koran depends on the assumption that you must have read the bible, because it would be difficult to understand it without having a background information from the bible. In fact the practice of Islam today was very similar to the Early Catholic Church with the exception of Idols, images and saints. The rights were very similar, Bowing and Kneeling on the floor (there were not chairs then), counting of Rosary, Lent (ramadan), even the way the women dress were similar. |

I read some stuff a coupla pages back 'bout the justification of the bible vis a vis prophecies of the old testament, the time gaps between the utterance and fulfilment, and the structure thereof. And another paragraph or two pertaining to the randomness or otherwise of the known universe. Now I know I'm gonna piss a lot of people (creationists and evolutionists) off by saying this, but please, take your comments, and stick it where the sun don't shine. There are billions of people on earth - there might be more on an undiscovered planet north-west of Pandora, we don't know - all we do know (most of us anyway), is that every Lashonda and Latoya's got a right to live life free of stress. And if belief in and laying of offerings to certain fungi helps them achieve it - as long as belief in said fungus doesn't drive them to intentionally (or otherwise) cause harm (mental, physical, emotional, social) to another, multo bene! In that vein also, they shouldn't tell (read: yell at) others that anything but their way leads to an after-lifetime of damnation. Religion should be about peace and co-existence. Anything other than that and we are no better than carnivores. That said, it doesn't mean that religion gets it right all the time (see Galileo v. The Catholic Church). |

babaearly: Guys what will you be? what will the world be? if we later found out that Christianity was a sham! that the gospels were craftily written and selected to blend alltogether? that Jesus actually had sex with Mary Magdalene? or he never existed at all? and that all was just hyper rated stuff to combat judaism or islam?What if you are a sham! The devil is trying to use you to plant the seed of doubt in Christians by sending subliminal messages coated with lies from hell. And what if Christianity was true after all and you find yourself and all the other atheists and unbelievers at the gate of hell waiting for your turn to get in where you will be tortured by worms, demons and fire before being transferred to the infamous Lake of Fire where you will burn for eternity. YOU NEED DELIVERANCE! |
