This pandemic has shown that religions are only for spiritual entertainment. When it comes to real life problems, it is either the religions have made the problems bigger or the religions have been useless as a solution.

Here are the examples of religious failures during this pandemic

1. Churches failing to give every member masks, gloves and sanitizers. The price of one private jet can cover the expenses in saving lives,

2. Churches still having church services. As at last Sunday, many of the big churches (Redeemed, Winners etc) still had services. It took government intervention and criticism to get them to stop.

3. Mosques still having prayers/Jumat. Many mosques still had services last week. Some that were closed faced riots (to open) in the north.

4. Pastors trying to achieve fame through the corona virus. Many big pastors are running around claiming that they prophesied correctly in 2019 about the virus. The pandemic is not about you. If you saw the virus coming, why dont all your members have enough sanitizers, food and masks for the period?

5. Evidently, we need more hospitals than religious centres. Imagine if we had the biggest hospitals in West Africa and not churches trying to build the biggest worship centres in Africa!! Can a church or mosque help us now?

6. Rather than tackle the government on providing more medical quarantine centres and testing kits, we have pastors and imams prophesying and preaching doomsday conspiracies.



God only helps those who help themselves. Religion and prayer will fail you if you replace hardwork and common sense with them....

Borntofreak, is there God?

Shd the God who doesn't exist help existing people with existing problems?

Borntofreak, weren't you one of those who believe China (science) had answers to man's problem before now? Why do you now need the church?
Or, you indeed believe there's God and He created Coronavirus but the power of Coronavirus has overwhelmed Him, hence He cannot stop it right?

Borntofreak, are you alright?

GasAndOilTheory:
It doesn't belong to the church. You should have gone to the program coordinator and infom him to announce.


You sef for don pocket am. Moreover you are a son of God so any money found in the church is your money. It's your father's house

You are a thief.

Why did you mention me here?
I need you who claim to have know scriptures to pick every point made in that op and defend it by scriptures.
Empty words.

StrikeBack:
how can this gift cure Corona virus??

Was that his question? Did he ask for the gift to use it to cure Coronavirus?
Either you grow up and be reasonable or I won't respond to you henceforth.

StrikeBack:
The question should be

How can this gift cure corona virus

Answer him first before going to Coronavirus.

Do you know how to engage in a discourse?

The agents of satan Micking here and the fake pastors are working for the same master, satan.
The end shall tell.

Victorious12:
Am baptized with water and spirit

I. Need to build a prayer life

It's very important that you have a prayer life. It's a big risk for a Christian not to pray. You are at war and prayer is the only weapon you have. Don't listen to the agents of satan In Nairaland.
Let me share how I built my prayer life and it worked for me.

I used the Bible to pray. because if I do it abstractly I loose connection or concentration and stop before I even start. So, I pick, let's say Ps 23 'The Shepherd's Prayer'. I will pray it line by line.

For Example: The Lord is my Shepherd. I will imagine who a Shepherd is and what he does. I will imagine a sheep ans what it does and begin to Chanel my prayers thus.

I will go, 'Father, thank you for being my shepherd. I am your sheep. Lord as a sheep, some times I am foolish and go astray. Forgive my foolishness and rebellion. But Lord, keep me with you. Protect me from harm. Direct my footsteps today. Guide my ways today. Provide for me today. Cover me today.

Everything a Shepherd does for the sheep I will ask of the Lord. By the time I pick all the verses, I wld have prayed forore than one hour.

By the time I pick people who wld enter my mind as I pray and pray for them, I wld have prayed foe a long time.
This method taught me focus and ease.

Try it and see if it'll work for you too.
Please read the Bible often. It helps.

Koginaija:
are you truly born again? Are you sanctified? these are the preriquisites for the baptism of the Holy spirit.and if you're filled with the Holy spirit,you will automatically manifest the gift the spirit wants you to manifest.

God bless you sir.

StrikeBack:
you don't need all these to enjoy a good life

Off point.
The question is, how can he manifests the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Do you know what the gifts of the Holy Spirit are? Have you been Baptised by fire?

If you haven't, then pls don't tell anyone that he or she doesn't need it. If you have ever encountered Jesus in your life even for a second, nothing in life will suffice anymore. You can give anything to have Him remain with you.

frosbel2:
so your jesus only heals believers ?

Wait, I thought there was no Jeaus? How do you want an none existing Jesus to heal existing humans from a bioweapon agent they created to eliminate fellow humans?

frosbel2:
Any reports of Coronavirus healings yet ??

Please post ASAP, let us give glory to Jesus.

Healing from who or by who?

Blackfire:
Hi Anas09 ...can we private chat

Yes, Backfire, we can.

Astark:
is your God scared of coronavirus? Why isn't your God protecting his children?..

I need answers not insults because I thought your God answers all things, or is he waiting to get the credit after scientist has solved it?.

I don't know how people still believe in something they have never seen, something their forefathers and ancestors were forced to worship by white men.

This is mental slavery

Didn't you say theres no God? Now you need a god who does not exist to stop Coronavirus? Are you well?

AntiChristian:
Allah is the Lord worship by Abraham, Noah and Moses as they never knew anyone named Jesus from your Bible.

Since Abraham killed a ram too so was Abraham too worshipping Satan?

See faulty analogy!
How many of your family have been killed?

So stop crying! Your God could have stopped the killings couldn't he? Or he's not powerful to do so?

I forgot he killed his son too so everyone can die too!

And how many people did Abraham kill for allah?

LordReed:
Who is calling god?

Yep, a vaccine, treatments and tests are being developed as we speak. No thanks to your god though, porn watcher is too busy.

Why then is plaetton here calling God upandan? And which God watches Porn? Jehovah or who?

Madness is not far from you.

AntiChristian:
What foolish money did I contribute? Na tithe?

Zakat. What is zakat used for if not to sponsor killers all over the world?

AntiChristian:
Stop being childish and foolish! I was born and bread in Lagos. And I am a staunch Muslim. We don't bomb people here!

So keep your lies to yourself and stop derailing the thread.

But did the koran you read enjoins you to kill people tho? Or, do you need help to find it?

AntiChristian:
Just a warning to all you that spread lies on Muslims and Muhammad.

I have a better life than you! And my religion will save me!

A fatwa shall be called on you for calling koran a lair.
Didnt koran say Muhammad was a paedophile, rapist, thief, lair and Murderer?

AntiChristian:


Christians and sex Sha!

Sunday Moshood Akanni where are you?

I don't know who told this one Muslims are uncircumcised!

We are circumcised just like Jesus in Luke 2:21.

You can imagine the fact that your Lord Jesus Christ had a dee eye cee Kay to be circumcised!

You mean Muslims and sex sha? You have sex with everything that has a hole. Shd we go down to your perverted prophet?

Charleys:
Most Christian women date Muslims but it's not possible for christian men to date Muslim women.

Muslims 1
Christians 0

But the truth is as most Christian women date Muslim men, what is so different about dating a Muslim man.

Give your opinion here.

That won't be a Christian. Fornication is a sin so. No Christian will date an uncircumcised Philistine.
Besidrs No Christian dates a man she is not married to.

LordReed:
Wake up and smell the coffee. Ain't nobody coming to rescue you from heaven. What sane being watches suffering for thousands of years and does absolutely nothing in the name of eradicating it in some anomalous future? Besides its been 1980+ years since Jesus supposedly said he'll be back like Arnold Schwarzenegger yet unlike a freaking invention of man the god refuses to show up. What a farce.

I was thinking since China is an atheist nation and so scientifically advanced, that you all can handle small Coronavirus which you guys invented by your big scientific Brian's.

Why call God? Fix it.

Jayy10:
Take a look at your entire post and see how much you have proven that most of you "free thinkers" are nothing but egocentric and selfish people who think that they are the only ones who can ever be right, and anyone with a contrary opinion is an idiot. Can't you just state your opinion without verbally belittling people? Are you mentally flawless? Do you know all things? Haven't you ever been wrong about something? People like you who always claim to be the most knowledgeable are actually the ones who know nothing. Stop looking down on people.

With all their mental prowess, Coronavirus needs their Brian's, but they are here making noise.
Shey China na atheist nation which hates God? Isn't China the country they use to disparage us with their scientific this and that? Only small Coronavirus, they now know there's a God who shd help them.

Nonsense.

plaetton:
Yeah, sure.
20 million had to die of AIDS so that God's work be made manifest.
I'm quite sure you would not want to be one those who die from The Coronavirus so that Your God's work be made manifest.

I thought there was no God? Oh wait, there's no God until there's a crisis. You still dey sick abi?

plaetton:
Actually, they got their knowledge from observation, experimentation and analysis. I'm sure you are familiar with those terms.

If the cure for diseases were gotten from God, then all those fraudsters who claim to hear voices from God should be the ones discovering the cure for diseases, not people dedicated to the scientific method .

Plaetton, have you ever heard of 'back to sender or he who digs a pit shall fall into it?' The Chinese scientists created Coronavirus to kill people, now God shd be the one to stop it?

Hahahahahahaha. Age does not come with wisdom as far as you are concerned obviously.

AntiChristian:
Our beliefs are different from your beliefs!

Your God killed his son on the cross as a curse for your salavtion! Death by hanging He said!

How sensible is this? Only a Dibia needs blood to perform rituals!

Do you know that from this comment you have just admitted that allah is not the same God as YHWH?

And, yes, our beliefs are different. So you can stop lying to yourself that isa is Jesus.

You wish that our God killed his son. Even if he did, we now have salvation, what has allah done for you? What did the dead of Muhammad do for you?

So, the Rams you slaughter every Ramadan which by the way is a satan ritual performed long before Muhammad was born, is indeed a ritual to satan?

Let me remind you. Everything satan does is an imitation of what God does.

Our God says, without the shedding of blood, there's no remission of sin. What did allah say to you? All the blood the muslims are shedding all over the world for allah, what is it for?

AntiChristian:
No I meant when your God is recrucified by his kinsmen!

Oh, I thought allah said Jesus didn't die, but he deceived the Jews to think that they killed him?
Allah said he stole Jesus away and killed an innocent man who looks like Jesus instead. You are calling your prophet derogatory names. Allah will deny you of virgins o.

Empiree:
but christians rule the world now. You mean you are that evil?.

What do you mean Christians rule the world? Which world are you talking about?

Are you still this daft Empivlree. As far as you are concerned, whoever is not Muslim is a Christian?

paxonel:
There is nothing wrong with a Christian marrying a Muslim so long both parties respect the rights of one one another practicing their own separate religions and steak to the purpose why they are united as one which is to make themselves happy

You have not truth in you.

AntiChristian:
Hope you won't vex if the table turns and a Muslim too calls you darkness too!

You mean satan can call Jesus darknes? Hahahahahahaha

oaroloye:
MISHIGAS!

I saw your Topic, but had no inclination to read past its title.

You are just a stupid brat with no Home Training, too foolish to understand that the ability to say things is not the same as the RIGHT to say things.

A few years ago, there was a cartoon in a French magazine, CHARLIE HEBDO, depicting Prophet Muhammad wearing a bombshell as a headgear.

ISIS therefore went to France, and killed that publisher.

16 other people, the-way I heard it, all had to die, because the publisher and artist said they had "FREEDOM-OF-SPEECH!"

You are a FOOL if you say that you do not see how your impertinent Post put everyone working at, and contributing to, NAIRALAND dot COM at risk.

You may even have been paid to Post that nonsense.

The way I heard it, Prophet Muhammad was poisoned to death.

The two stories could be concurrently true, but I doubt that you even used an authentic source, nor cared whether your allegation were true or not.

If you are lucky enough to mature in age, you will learn that there are things that you just do not talk about in public, if you care for your life, and the lives of your audience.

IT IS THE JOB OF THE MODERATOR TO PREVENT THAT SCENARIO.

Of course, being stupid, you hate them for being sensible.

It is not that NAIRALAND should have deleted your Post, it is YOU whom they ought to have deleted. Literally!

What would you do, if BOKO HARAM took the Owner of NAIRALAND Hostage, and threatened to kill him, unless you surrendered yourself?

Nothing, of course.

An OYINBO would surrender his or herself, INSTANTLY.

THAT is what they believe in.

YOU would probably be on the next plane to CANADA, AUSTRALIA, or ANYWHERE NOT-NIGERIA, being nothing but a jobless coward, with a big mouth.

APOLOGIZE TO THE OWNER, MODERATOR, AND USERS FOR PUTTING US ALL AT RISK!

I want you to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY like the JAPANESE do it, and COURIER a LETTER OF APOLOGY to the NAIRALAND Office, accompanied with the top joint of your RIGHT MIDDLE FINGER.

That would be the RESPONSIBLE thing to do.

Of course you are too childish to MAN-UP like THAT!

Too stupid to know that you can be TRACED through your INTERNET ACCESS. Having an Anonymous Username means nothing, these days.

This sick son of a demon go treat your insanity already

Empiree:
Try it on FB and see what happens. Facebook will block your amount. I know what I'm talking about. Not only will you get blocked but they will place you on surveillance and subsequently arrest you. So go ahead. You will be surprised to see your fellow christians report you for creating nuisance.

I have been there done that

That's because evil rules now, but for how long? Satan is still defeated.
