Has Christianity Made Any Impact In Arresting Social Vices In Nigeria?

Yes it has. It has provided us with a big book for us to read and learn from. But the biggest impact Christianity has made is it has vastly improved our capability to communicate with more people than speak our own individual languages.

You try writing on here in your own native language and you'd see how poor your ability to communicate and thereby reason would suddenly become.

P.s. Islam has had similar impact where it is read and understood.

deekseen:
Ok, let me try to get you. One simple question...

Are you a Christian?

You have eyes. Hopefully, Jesus has spat on mud and rubbed it in your eyes, and if you now go and bath in the Pool of Siloam, your eyes will open and you will clearly see the answer to your question.

But just in case, let me post it in bold for you so you can not miss it.

budaatum:
buda is very clearly not a Christian! Christians believe, and buda is very clearly not a believer!

deekseen:
Quoting scriptures doesn't make you a Christian. ...

buda is very clearly not a Christian! Christians believe, and buda is very clearly not a believer!

Funny though, how you've completely ignored what buda has presented you with while you concentrate on buda, lol.

budaatum:
Yes, let us correct this teaching.

Please see the instruction given to the human created in God's image:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

That, is "take care of God's creation" that God spent 6 days creating and found to be good then he rested.

While, And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed, is take care of a very tiny small portion of God's creation, and a clear reduction of duties and responsibilities.

Even the payments/rewards/foods are different!

See the payments/rewards/foods of the creation in the Image of God:

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Now see if you can not detect the pay cut given to Adam and Eve.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Corinthians is commentary. It is the equivalent of a pastor preaching about Genesis, and accepting it is the equivalent of believing a pastor instead of what you can see and read with your very own eyes.

deekseen:
After asking us to discard Paul's teachings,

You must not discard any teaching! You should understand what you read instead. For that is how you derive teaching instead of mere believing what you do not understand.

deekseen:
You're now quoting Buddha on a Christian topic.

Can this get any more interesting?

Wait a second...budaatum, Buddha...I see the correlation.
Now you've been exposed.

Please, take your teachings elsewhere. Stop trying to deceive God's people.

You have not yet seen anything! The below is from the Qur'an. Surat Luqman 31:27 to be precise.

It shows why one should not only read one book least one become malnourished.

deekseen:
After asking us to discard Paul's teachings, you're now quoting a teaching (purportedly by Matthew, another Pastor). This is ridiculous!

Please stop deceiving people.

The Bible is a wonderful book. I have read it and I quote it extensively. It's for you to open your eyes and see for yourself or close your eyes and merely believe and tremble.

deekseen:
As in, we should leave the Bible and believe you?

Please know that if you believe me, you have failed to use your own heart and soul and mind and being to ask and knock and seek.

Only those who want to enslave you would ask you to believe them or anything at all.

deekseen:
I don't believe this. Moses wrote Genesis ....

I am afraid I am going to have to leave your education to Maynman.

Please beware, because he is a much nicer tutor that I am.

Aareakinwunmi:
Am rooting for Peter Obi, as a Yoruba boy, some see me as a traitor.

Me too, I join traitor Yoruba you. Let them please see us together.

4teenblaq:
It was not everything in the beginning, that is written in the bible.

All the stories you see in the bible are key points of happening from time to time.

It's like the syllabus one gets for O'Levels. And not all what one must read to pass the exam.

That's why reading only one book will leave one malnourished.

Enny2013:
I am a liar,sir...
Answer op questions den

No, I do not agree that you are a liar. Misinformed, perhaps. But liar, no.

Op's question is like a differentiation question in maths asked by a person who can't yet count 1 2 3. Op's question will be answered when op understands the basics.

deekseen:
Please let's correct this teaching.

God created man in His own image, God is not physical, but man had to be to take care of God's creation.

Yes, let us correct this teaching.

Please see the instruction given to the human created in God's image:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

That, is "take care of God's creation" that God spent 6 days creating and found to be good then he rested.

While, And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed, is take care of a very tiny small portion of God's creation, and a clear reduction of duties and responsibilities.

Enny2013:
I dnt knw d other human created bf Adam n Eve. God was referring to d angels when he said let's create man in our image n likeness.

Why would you choose to tell yourself this lie, I wonder!

Are you also the sort to claim Adam and Eve surely died too when they ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

airminem:
Don't throw away the baby and the bath water.

Stop misbehaving here please

Are you suggesting one should instead drown the baby in the bath water?

One person's misbehave is obviously another person's well behave, and thankfully your judgement does not in any way matter to me.

cherishmichael:
Oya it's okay, please stop mentioning me, abeg.

Trust me. I only mentioned you because you are much better than some I could not attach my name to. It was in no way intended as an insult.

Do please have a wonderful day.

Her junior sister told me all the dirty things she has been doing since she has got back to their house, like going to sleep in a guy's house overnight when her dad is on night shift.

Op, you are a liar! And only idiots and fools will believe you!

cherishmichael:
If you won't mind your business and feel you'll be rude, you'll also get insulted as you want.

I have not been rude to you. But if you want to, do please insult me as much as pleases you. It does not take a single kobo out of my pocket and will only show everyone the type of being you are.

Please note that we are both minding the op's business here.

Djbond:
I'll summarize this as possible.

No one is perfect, yes I hit her cuz I was suspicious of her cheating. I bought her an Android phone and she started chatting with guys on FB and WhatsApp, talking about location on how to meet. I'm not always around though, I come home once in 2 days and I provide everything enough for she and our 3 daughters need to sustain on a daily. She doesn't work, our first daughter is 4, and our twins girls are 2 years old. So I believe she doesn't need to stress herself but just to take care of the kids.

Fast forward, she left a day after I beat her (I know it's not right but I couldn't hold the anger anymore) and i already apologized afterwards not knowing she had in mind to leave. I came home and couldn't find her and the kids, I called and started begging, my landlady, my friends, all our neighbors in the street called and begged her, she just kept lying that she will come back today, come back tomorrow but we never see her. I cried and cried, almost killed myself, didn't eat for days, just drinking and smoking, got admitted to the hospital, my neighbor called my wife that I'm in the hospital, she didn't care, never came to check on me.

I called her few days after I got discharged that I miss her and asked her why she didn't come to check on me at the hospital. She only gave an excuse that she has started some pos work in their street. She lives in her father's house now with her stepmom. Her junior brothers are the ones taking care of the children. Her junior sister told me all the dirty things she has been doing since she has got back to their house, like going to sleep in a guy's house overnight when her dad is on night shift. I called her dad to explain, but didn't give me the chance to explain. I called her last week Saturday to come see me, and i collected the phone she's using to do runs up and down from her. Now she uses her sister's phone to do those things now.

She called me with her sister's phone on Monday that i should move on when she discovered that I already know all the things she's doing. I have a problem moving on, I always think about her and my children.
I don't have appetite to eat even as I type this, I'm drinking royal circle. I hope this won't lead to my demise as I'm killing myself slowly. I love her. Why are women like this?

Pls nairalanders don't judge me or abuse me for hitting her. No one is perfect and there's no man that will take it if he sees his woman with another man

kollinzgee:
1) in the book of genesis Adam and eve are the first humans created ......

Adam and Eve were not the first humans created in the book of Genesis!

Before Adam and Eve were created from mud, God is written to have created humans in God's own Image, "both male and female created he them", then he rested, and only later were Adam and Eve created to be slaves in the garden of Eden.

cherishmichael:
Please don't mention me if i didn't mention you, or I'll injure you.
Did you even read his story till the end, or you read in brief??

I will mention whomever I want to mention, and you can not injure me. You don't have sufficient intelligence to injure a person like me.

And yes I did read his stupid story till the end. His "again" in his subject line is enough to deduce he has beaten her before!

Djbond:
Pls nairalanders don't judge me or abuse me for hitting her. No one is perfect and there's no man that will take it if he sees his woman with another man.

You are a liar! You did not see your "woman with another man", but added that lie to gain Nairalander's sympathy. What you were was "suspicious of her cheating"!

And see how some gullible Nairalanders are now calling your woman a whọre and claiming she's sleeping around, and you have not even bothered to come to her defense despite knowing she isn't sleeping around!

Personally, I'm glad she's left you because you are not repentant at all. And I bet you've beaten her before too and you will beat her again if she returns, and you will beat your children too because you are a bully!

Those begging her to return should stop asking her to turn the other cheek and tell you to stop slapping her instead! When you've learnt and fully repented, you might then know how to beg her to return to you.

cherishmichael:
You hit her, wrong! she's cheating also wrong!!

Excuse me, but "he hit her" is his self confessed fact, while "she's cheating" is what he thinks and wants to believe with no credible evidence!

Not making that distinction says a lot about your reasoning capabilities but I must confess that you are nowhere near the worst here.

Buckeyemedia1:
Be deceiving yourself, nonsense Ipobian turned oblivious Obidient.

Obidient Yoruba Ipobian, if you don't mind please.

Buckeyemedia1:
Who told you that he is not a grand thief? You cannot be a Judge in your own case, if your liver done well, mention your father’s name, to see who knows him, let the judgement of public opinion begin?

My father is not rich enough to be a thief, thank you very much. He does not have a $2.0m house in Upper Manhattan or anywhere else for that matter. Besides, my father is not asking you to vote for him, so you and your public opinion don't get to judge him.

KGD10:
Lagos is ten times better than your uselesss enclave. Tell Peter Obi to go make his Anambra great! Yeye dey smell

He's done what he can for Anambra State, We are now choosing him to make Nigeria great, thank you very much.

Buckeyemedia1:
This is who we want, keep deceiving your fellow ipobians turned Obidients.

That is whom you want. Good luck with it.

Buckeyemedia1:
Shut up Ipobian, is ur fathers small money be compared to Tinubu’s wealth, who will dash you a multi million dollar apartment in Upper Manhattan?

My father is not a thief so he can not possibly have Tinubu's stolen wealth. And I don't want a multi million dollar apartment in Upper Manhattan bought with money stolen from Lagos State, thank you very much.

KGD10:
Who's the bigger thief? Did he rule your uselesss self and family?

We don't want your thief and a failure!

And I don't want your thief and your failure.

Now isn't that the beauty of democracy and your pvc?

KGD10:
Like how Peter Obi siphoned state funds into offshore account while using his teenage daughter name like aAbacha did? You dey mad!

A small thief is preferable to a bigger thief.

KGD10:
Will you keep quiet? Peter Obi children schooled and live in UK. But you're crying about Tinubu? Thunder want to strike you there?

I too schooled abroad, so show me mine and Obi's children's $2.0m dollar houses so I can call him and myself thieves or its you your thunder will strike first.

Gentlechika:
Indeed you're smarter but the question's will you use it for the betterment of the country, or for selfish gain?

What do you think?
