You are not making a clear point. Are you saying that when one sins hoping on God's grace, that is a sin against the HolyGhost? Because all Christians sin, hoping God would forgive. Also, for anyone to commit sin, it means the person delights in sin unless the person is forced. For example, a young man that steals his parent's money is that a sin against the HolyGhost because the young man would not do it if he does not delight in it?

Well history tells us that religion beliefs including christiniaty were tools used by ancient people to find meaning to life, or their situation at the time..
If we go by the Jesus story.. He appeared like a social activists that questioned Judaism, the teachings of the Torah. He was a Jew and his reference was to the Torah and interpretation of Jewish teaching..
Jesus never wrote a single piece of his work, teachings or introduce Christianity before he was crucified..
The place jesus followers were first called Christians was in Antioch, in modern Turkey...
St Paul up to his conversion persecuted Christians and he was born in Tadsus modern Turkey..
The questions you have to ponder are: What's the main religion in modern Israel today? Is Jesus accepted as a prophet or messiah by the Jews?
Do the state of Israel or the Jewish nation recognise jesus as son of God, as proclaimed by Christians?
What is happening in modern Antioch and Tadsus, in Turkey, were christiniaty was spread in ancient times before the Islamic conquest? Are these people now bound for hell fire for adopting a new faith that is not true?
I think the point being made is that religions beliefs whether abrahamic faith spread by colonisation or Arab conquest or traditional beliefs are a tool to finding meaning to life...It is man's invention... It is your interpretation and how you apply it to your life and people that determine its relevance..
Claiming one religion beliefs or doctrine is true or superior than another comes from a mindset of dominance and imposition forced by Empire and colonial superiority.
If christinianity was not adopted by emperor Constantine and forcefully institutionalised in the Roman empire it will never have seen the light in Western Europe... Christiniaty was only spread predominantly in territories under Roman control or closed to Asian minor.. ..
So, Christianity despite its benefits cannot be claimed as the true religion..You are entitled to be passionate and champion your faiths.. These are the reasons why pagan, western Europe, separated Christianity from state politics following the era on enlightenment...
Please travel to Asian, Indian and Persian... People have their religions beliefs buddism Hinduism and are fully functional.....
Religion beliefs regardless of its origin helps shape your character and perhaps guide you but it is based on experiences, fabricated and real life encounters.. However, it is only a tool to self discovery and you still require further understanding of other areas of life to be functional...
No religion faith is absolute true, it is based on your interpretation...

Well if you say so.. Christian beliefs and any religion beliefs are well intentioned... The critical point is that you do not need to be indoctrinated by a foreign and ancient beliefs to be a functional and upright person..
True religion is kindness, empathy and being a better person to the next person.. You cannot be cruel to a fellow human and worship and be loyal to a God or supernatural being that is imaginary..
People remember your character, how you treat them, and make them feel not who you worship...

Africa started the concept of library. We had them in Fez and Timbuktu, long b4 the white man knew how to read and write. Wen they came, they stole everything from us, put a halt to every of own development for 500yrs. How den do likes of u say they brought us education?
We were Christians long b4 them. African countries are all over the Bible. From Cush to Libya, Ethiopia and Nubia. Queen Sheba died in Nigeria. How cud it have been Europeans who brought us Christianity wen they demselves are only just recent converts to Christianity? Say 500AD?

tctrills:
To unwillingly disobey means you do not know the word of God. Like an unbeliever. But how can you claim your disobedience is unwillingly when you understand the word of God. So if a Christian lies, is that unwillingly disobedience?

As for 5he definition of iniquity; immoral or grossly unfair behaviour.

tctrills:
As a Christian every disobedience is rebellion against God. You know God's words but you choose to go against it. Is there a better definition of rebellion?

This is the wish of those who do not expect the meeting with their Lord. While indeed the meeting with our Maker is most certain.

donbenie:
There's nothing more funny than trying to prove the existence of god,using the very same book,the said nonexistent god,was claimed to have written.
It's beyond hilarious..

tctrills:
Every Christian at one point in time has disobeyed the warnings of God.

Krismas:
We were Christians far b4 the colonial masters. They NEVER brought Christianity to us. Rather they learnt Christianity from us. They did not bring schools or civilization to us. Rather they took these away from us
Finally pagan religion is not the religion of our forefathers. They are the result of 500yrs of slavery and dark ages Africa was plunged into. Most Yoruba deities like Ogun, Sango themselves had personal Gods they worshiped. They were not gods unto themselves. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong

Interesting, Please note this world is not just about Christianity and Islam.. The two most populost counties are neither Christians or Islam... That means... You can live a functional life by taking control of your life without any religions beliefs.. Well advanced countries have laws that guide and shape human relation.... Your relationship with your God via your religion or spiritual awakening should be a personal and a private matter that makes you a better person..

im glad we are now waking up to the truth... and no africans were not living in mud huts until europeans came.... theese are the same lies that were told to the native americans...

Why do people want to doubt the continuation of our existence after death. Rosullulah (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered that the corpses of the disbelieving casualties from the battle of badr be thrown in a well. He then summoned them saying these words;

Oh so and so the son of so and so. Have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? because we have found the promise if our Lord to be true.

Abubakar (RA) enquired; ya Rosool! So you speak to them though they are dead?

He replied; By Allah! You do not hear any more cleayly than they do. ( meaning they can hear as clearly as you do)

Now that advanced science can decipher that humans consciousness doesn't exactly end with death. Are we still waiting for our own deaths before we come to the conclusion that we are only on a journey to our Maker ? And that the promise of Allah is true?

Offpoint1:
That was pure hallucinations, if that story was true then the bible lied and judgement day was a lie too.

tctrills:
If that is what it means then almost everyone is guilty of it at one time or the other.

How the country would have been is that Nigerian ethnic groups would have been left alone to run their own affairs. There wouldnt have been Nigeria as a country. It would have been easier for the ethnic groups to grow and form nations based on their own mutual agreement not based on British interests.
Colonialism did great damage and has nothing good, please. The union of southern Nigeria and northern Nigeria is a problem becus citizens cant simply hold leaders accountable due to tribalism and every action u take is first looked at tribalism level.

Patriotsleague:
That was a movie, don't believe people are do dumb, that was not even the queen Elizabeth that died. So many dumb people, it's a big problem.

Everything we accuse whites we are worst.

Take capitalism for instance. White go pay you decent at least. Black man go cut your salary still owe you month end. cf

Value2Ethics:
Laziness of blacks.

Did God create blacks after whites?
Did God create white before blacks?

God created all human same time, yet our ancestors sat on their behind while others organised and develop themselves.


Today, China is dealing with Africa same as British, taking over Africa, one plot per day, what are we doing about it?


The right questions is what were our ancestors doing after God created them that other subdued them?


What are we doing so our children, will not tommorrow rant about China's activities in Africa?


We can't even love ourselves.
It is always tribal insults on online and offline.


If Yorubas had the means they would colonize Igbos, Hausas etc.


If Hausas had the means they would colonize Igbos, Yorubas etc.



If Igbos had the means they would colonize Hausas , Yorubas etc


Yet we all are blacks.

ivandragon:
Our present 'rulers' have done worse than what the late Queen did & yet we celebrate them.

In the first place, it was Africans that captured and sold other Africans into slavery. The West simply took opportunity of cheap labour same way 'survival' wages are paid to most workers in Nigeria by businesses that take advantage of the sad state of affairs...

Sergio103:


The unapologetic truth.

I expect urchins to be angry over this.

But we dare not hide mouth to say an obvious thing.

"Tinubu is not well" . If it triggers your pain sensory nerves......try sniper

Stargangz:
No cause for alarm. When it comes to innovations, give it to the Igbos, China sef dey learn, very creative and intelligent set of people. 'SAMASONG' arguably the best TV product ever!

JASONjnr:
King Charles should be more proactive and should allow colonized countries to exercise their freedom to full independence.... They should allow Nigeria to exist independently.

We hope that his leadership and kingship will bring more fruitful days ahead....

"The Queen is dead, long live the King"

Colonialism has been the order of things from the beginning...

Even the present day Britain was once Colonized by the Roman empire, Alexander the Great of Macedonia, King Williams of France and even the vikings.

Even here in Nigeria alot of tribes colonizd their neighbors.... It was the way foward back then... Let's stop hating and move forward!
