Joagbaje:
Here comes our lying doctor, where did I make such statement?

Joagbaje:
Legal salvation for OT saints was not connected to Jesus perse . All they require for salvation was good works according to the law.

Joagbaje:
Many people were counted righteous in the OLD testament. Either by faith, by works or by the law. They were called righteous men.

Wikipedia: Yoruboid is a group of languages composed of Igala, a language spoken in central Nigeria, and the Edekiri group, the members of which are spoken in a band across Togo, Benin and southwestern Nigeria. The name Yoruboid derives from its most widely spoken member, Yoruba, which has more than 20 million speakers. Another well-known Yoruboid language is Itsekiri (Nigeria, 600,00-800,000 speakers). The Yoruboid group is a branch of Defoid, which itself is a branch of the Benue-Congo subfamily of the Niger-Congo language family.

Igala is a key Yoruboid language, spoken by 1.8 million people in the Niger-Benue confluence of central Nigeria, it is excised from the main body of Yoruboid languages to the west by Ebirra and the Edo languages. Igala is closely related to both Yoruba and Itsekiri languages.

All Yoruboid languages are tonal, with most of them having three level tones. Grammatically, they are isolating with a Subject Object Verb basic word order.

The Itsekiri's are a riverine Yoruboid people who live in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. They maintain a distinct identity separate from other Yoruboid people. Their neighbours are the Urhobos, The Ijaws, and the Mahin Ilaje, a Yoruba clan.

This is ironic because it reveals that despite your vigorous protestations your view of Christianity is influenced and even now is being molded by the RCC's corrupted version.

Martian:
It doesn't matter what it says in the bible because it can be interpreted to mean anything the person reading it wants it to mean.

Martian:
I am not aware of anythinabout the worship of Mary in the bible but to justify anything they do. . .

Martian:
all the catholic church has to do is quote the passage about Jesus saying "on this Rock, I shall build my church" in reference to Peter who they claim was the first pope. Since this is "his church", their religious doctrine is the original and if you're not worshiping Mary maybe you're the one doing it wrong.

Martian:
I'm going to stop now because going on about Mary, Jesus, virgin, god child just reinforces your view that you have sound historical ground to stand on concerning the origin of your faith. Read about Zoroaster and his own virgin birth story, the struggle between good and evil and the other type of beliefs you take as historical facts. Its another myth that predates your on yet look exactly like yours except the Persians and not the Jews were the special people.

Martian:
Besides the first proselytizing Christians were said to be pagans in their day.

In the early Roman Empire, "paganus" came to mean "civilian" as opposed to "military." Christians at the time often called themselves "miles Christi" (Soldiers of Christ). The non-Christians became "pagani" -- non-soldiers or civilians. No denigration would be implied.

Are you tithing the way Moses said you the children of Israel should tithe?

Sweetnecta:
is christianity even now being spread by the GUN? lets ask american GIs in Aghanistan and Iraq, etc.

aletheia:

I await your answer.

Sweetnecta:
the second bold; bloodshed and conquest and required human sacrifice is the hallmark of christianity. let me add deceit, because evangelizing or crusade disguised as charitable effort is still going on as we speak. there is jesus sweet candy versus the sour one dubbed Muhammad in Sudan and other places. in the 1990s, mere 16 years ago, european muslims were slaughtered like pigs before easter weekend, or turkeys before thanksgiving day.

Sweetnecta:
All Praises belong to Allah, Who revealed Taurah on Moses, not by moses or history of moses and definitely not in greek language. this revelation of Taurah to Moses is a proof that the same language or something from the same family of languages [semitic language] was definitely what Injil is revealed on Jesus son of Mary. what is the purpose except deceit to understand what came in wollof language by reading it in akan language?

Martian:
@ Alethia.

The message of christ was never spread by bloodshed?

I guess the following was an order to peacefully propagate the gospel then.

Martian:
The cross, he halos, the fish, the various sysmbols and rites of christianity are pagan.

Martian:
The more history you post, the more you show how your religion is just a plagiarization of other ancient sumerian/ babylonian/ greek mythology.  All you posted just further shows that Isis, Ishtar, Cybele and Mary are all the same mythical figure with different names.  Since the catholics worship mary (a myth) and since they are the ones that shaped your religion, maybe the son of mary that you worship is also a myth.

Martian:
How is the catholic chrurch's mary differnt than your own mary?

Martian:
A lot of other myths where spread by bloodshed but not christianity. lmao What other my religion ws spread by bloodshed and violence cloaked as piety apart from the Abrahamic ones and the ancient people in the americas whose gods loved human blood.

Martian:
The only difference between the jesus "gospel" and the other myths is that the believers of the gospel have spread it through bloodshed, persecution, tourture, colonisation, slavery, indoctrination and never ending evangelism. It is also the most current one since the civilizations that believed in the other versions no longer exist.

The importance of mother goddesses in the various mythologies of paganism is so evident that even a shallow description could easily fill entire volumes…The mother goddess received different names and external appearances, but, in substance, she was always the same. In Egypt, she was called Isis. In Crete, she was represented as a mother who made friendly contact with snakes. In Greece she was known as Demeter, and in Rome she was worshiped as Cybele, the Magna Mater (Great Mother), a mother goddess of Phrygian origin. There is practically no ancient culture that did not worship this type of deity. ( The Myth of Mary, pp.74, 75)

As early as the twenty-fifth century B.C., people of your of the Chaldees in Sumeria worshiped a mother-goddess named Ishtar. Around the same time the Minoans of Crete had a mother-goddess portrayed with “her divine child Velchanos” in her arms. Later, the people of Cyprus revered a goddess who appeared to have been patterned after the Sumerian Ishtar and later adopted by the Greeks as Aphrodite, or Astarte.The Babylonians, who conquered Sumeria around the twenty-second century B.C., related their religious beliefs to the heavenly bodies. They regarded the planets as gods and goddesses and equated the planet Venus with the Sumerian mother-goddess Ishtar.The Babylonians worshiped Ishtar as “The Virgin,” “The Holy Virgin,” “The Virgin Mother,” “Goddess of Goddesses,” and “Queen of Heaven and Earth.” They exclaimed, “Ishtar is great! Ishtar is Queen! My Lady is exalted, my Lady is Queen…There is none like unto her.”

They called her “Shining light of heaven, light of the world, enlightener of all places where men dwell, who gatherest together the hosts of the nations”; and they claimed, “Where thou glancest, the dead come to life, and the sick rise and walk; the mind of the diseased is healed when it looks upon thy face.”

You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, for as we both know,without purpose we would not exist. It is purpose that created us, purpose that connects us, purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drives us, that binds us, it is purpose that defines us. We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose.

Martian:
I can't understand this!!! A christian posts this picture and sees all the myths about virgin mother and god child

Martian:
Lmao, anyway if you can just claim that the others are "demons" I guess you've covered your a$$.
Nothing makes me mad and still makes me laugh outloud like christianity does!!! It's only christian ignorance that can make the  adherents mock the original. All you christians that are always castigating the Catholic church are actually the heretics and blasphemers thanks to Martin Luther who was also a virulent anti semite. Where do you think Hitler got the inspiration from? Goddamn christian heretics, y'all better bow to your father, his holiness Pope Benedict the ped_phile.

@alethelia
so because amadioha/sango e.t.c are called gods ,does not mean whenever the word god is mentioned it refers 2 them.your analoggy is flawed

chukwudi44:
my good friend alethelia where did u see me mention ishtar/ashtoreth.what is wrong in asking my dear mother 2 pray 4 me.is that not d same way your pastors pray 4 u.mind u she does freely without askoing 4 tithe.

The Babylonians worshiped Ishtar as “The Virgin,” “The Holy Virgin,” “The Virgin Mother,” “Goddess of Goddesses,” and “Queen of Heaven and Earth.” They exclaimed, “Ishtar is great! Ishtar is Queen! My Lady is exalted, my Lady is Queen…There is none like unto her.”

They called her “Shining light of heaven, light of the world, enlightener of all places where men dwell, who gatherest together the hosts of the nations”; and they claimed, “Where thou glancest, the dead come to life, and the sick rise and walk; the mind of the diseased is healed when it looks upon thy face.”

The Egyptians called Isis “the Great Mother” and “the Mother of God.” Isis worship spread to Italy by the second century and then throughout the entire Roman Empire. There the goddess was portrayed with her “divine child Horus” in her arms and widely acclaimed as “Queen of Heaven” [/i]and [i]“Mother of God.”
