AuthenticKing:1. Again, Wrong! The book is a compendium of books written by different authors at different points in time and through different scopes, these books do not contradict themselves instead in an attempt to shape God to their understanding, the many false teachers and false prophets create these contradicting ideas they feed to you instead. Pick one example of what you claim is a contradiction. 2. All that Jesus Christ taught and commanded of His followers. 3. OK! 4. Some but taking bits and pieces of a law to apply whenever you chose can also result in chaos. That Law was meant, by God as an All-or-nothing Law...you ignore or fail at even one of the 613 laws contained, you failed at all and curses are heaped on you as a result. Those who pick apart God's Law, even if out of ignorance, bring curses on themselves as a result. It is better to see a moral compass elsewhere than to claim it is rooted in God's Law which one is unwilling to follow into to. 5. Ok 6. Where are the voices of atheists in European nations and other nations where religions powers has significantly dwindled over the last 2 or 3 centuries? Ofcourse some of the credit goes to some with atheistic ideas in those nations, but rather than engage in endless meaningless battles with religious establishment ,they instead took to making their case in court of public opinions and we know how religion continues to struggle in those parts of the world compared to those where the religious debates rages on many decades later. |

As for me I keep losing faith in religion that doesn’t mean that spirituality doesn’t exist. Religion has and will always be one of the biggest problem of Africa Why would you believe another man story. Someone that come to enslave you gave you a book and told you that is the one and true god Someone brought peace through war. Are you serious are you blind don’t you think that psychology and subconscious slavery Read about the church and crusades ,Constantine etc Most important read about history |

Kobojunkie:The first literal contradiction of the Bible comes from the two creation stories. Theologians have tried to give explanations about why it was written that way but it doesn't change the fact that those two stories contradict themselves. But that is not my main issue, I forgot to mention that the Bible has so much errors (if taken literally anyways) and depicts God as a heartless autocratic wicked and manipulative being. We criticize people like Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, etc forgetting that the God of the Bible (again I say if taken literally) is worse than those dudes. Kobojunkie:So give me examples of discrepancies between what Jesus taught and the ones people teach today. Don't tell me about prosperity teachers but think of those ones who constantly threaten us about hell and judgement day. You said no one teaches the truths of Jesus today so tell me where those ones are getting it wrong. Kobojunkie:We have so many great people who pick bits of 'laws' from ancient great men and in addition with their own experience created something great. I don't care about your your perception on these 'God's laws' because I see them as laws (if it's really true) given to a people to follow and some of these laws can be applied today, I don't care about whether it was given by a divine who will curse me if I don't follow his laws. Kobojunkie:European nations have this manipulative streak, they go to a nation, explore and exploit it, slowly find out the vulnerabilities of that people, introduce their customs and religions, and then dominate them. They see their religion as a tool not as something to dominate their way of life, that was why it was easy for atheists to introduce their ideas there. Of course, there were fanatics there but not so much rampant like it is in Africa. America is a bit better. It's evident in their emergence as world power. But the fundamentalists there can be so annoying with their intrusions, making connections that comes from their illusions. Africa is pathetic. They hold unto these religions like it's their life, we think that we are more holier than the inventors of religion. We even begin to claim that Jesus or Mohammed were originally Africans just to prove a point... For these reasons, atheists must not be diplomatic, they must come out and find loopholes in these claims of fundamentalists, they must make Nigerians see things from other points of view. They must make Nigerians and Africans look beyond heaven and hell, demons and evil spirits and even angels seeing these concepts as parts of themselves that need to be worked not as something external! When we come to that level, we can now think of being diplomatic. I would also love to reiterate that Europeans and even Americans who practice religion don't spend so much hours in the church (or mosque) like we do, they don't also always run to church and mosque when they have problems like we do. They don't also always come to social media to give religious solutions to problems that can be solved by meditation, reflection, self-assessment and therapy. |

AuthenticKing:1. What two creation stories? 2. You pick the examples and create a thread where we can go at them if you wish. 3. How many of those laws have been tested and found to be Perfect, needing no changes and modifications over time? Even the Law "thou shall bear no falsehood" has been altered and tweaked by men to include condition after condition, why? Because we find these laws do not translate as written in God's Law into our own realities, yet God judges men by His original unblemished standard. 4. Ok |

Kobojunkie:Read Genesis 1 and 2 and come back here and reply. Kobojunkie:No, you initially stated that prophets of today are not professing Jesus' truths and that's what I'm asking you. Give me examples excluding the prosperity preachers at least for now. Kobojunkie:When we pick out words and teachings by ancient wise men and act on them, we don't see them as 'laws' but words of wisdom to serve as guidance, we modify these words and teachings to suit our present circumstances and we leave some that are timelessly unchanging and useful and follow them verbatim. Somehow I don't get your points clearly. If God, the Bible God, punishes people who don't follow his laws verbatim, then why don't you think he will punish those who discard those laws just because they don't suit the times we are in?? |
Re: In 20 Years Christianity Will NO Longer Be Relevant by Kobojunkie: 10:22pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
AuthenticKing:1. It is the same story only in Genesis 2 the author zooms to telling the story in relation to the first couple. 2. examples? There are about 100 commandments which make up the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, that your prophets do not teach you. a. Sexual lust, not sex(fornication, masturbation, homosexuality, etc.) is what Jesus Christ depicts as sin of the sexual kind in His Law. b. Marriage is a choice since God created some Eunuchs from birth, made some Eunuchs in this life and allowed some others live as Eunuchs for the sake of His Kingdom. So the idea that marriage is blessed by God is a lie this since God cursed marriage from the beginning- Genesis 3 vs 16. So, there really is no such thing as a "Christian" marriage, and this since Jesus Christ made it clear that marriage is of this world and not of the Kingdom of God. What all this invariably means is no one be saved via marriage and there are no such things as holy children..... 3. Those who refer to them as principles to live by consider them laws. Ofcourse, God's punishment for those who cherrypick, in my opinion, is much worse than His punishment for those who outrightly reject Him. |

Emperor88: Everywhere in the world people are doing stupid things and getting into stupid big big troubles which cause them to complain and cry and die bitterly and regretfully. It is not a new thing. Same thing happened in Enoch's and Noah's time, who ended up being the only right doing people God could find on the earth. I verily want God to find me right doing as He did, in their case, whenever He Comes Avisiting, even if the whole world become an "I hate God" people. Exodus 23:2 is my Law "Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil"! And, Israel has always been the worst of all peoples, and the world would not have been where we are, if they were a people to admire and follow. |
Re: In 20 Years Christianity Will NO Longer Be Relevant by Nobody: 12:05am On Mar 10, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:Lol, go and read it very clearly again. I've read some good books that tend to narrate a story in different chapters picking bits from this story to explain the chapter's message and none of them have contradicted themselves like the book of Genesis 1 and 2. Kobojunkie:First of all, they are not my prophets, don't refer to them as my prophets I don't understand your first point, are you tryna say Jesus only condemned sexual list not the acts itself like the examples you enclosed in the bracket? Or I didn't understand you clearly? Your second point doesn't seem to make any sense, first of all, how does Genesis 3:16 imples that Jesus cursed marriage? I don't read the letters of St Paul that much because I find most parts of it boring but I've come across parts where marriage was declared as being ordained by God. What of the part where Jesus condemned divorce and pronounced it as adultery? Besides, what relevance are these your points to our world today? People not speaking Jesus' truths, as you suppose, how does it help or harm us? Why is it important? Kobojunkie:No I don't agree. Principles are quite different from laws. I'm bound by my principles out of personal choice and I alone produce consequences for myself if I fail to live by my principles. I can alter my principles a bit if they are no longer serving me. Laws are kind of imposed. We are punished if we don't follow laws. Kobojunkie:This is quite funny to me, I'm sorry to say |
